Chapter 203 The Villainous Jin Suffers Repeated Defeats (4)
Angelina's performance... is all too familiar!
To resolve her doubts, Yi asked her cerebellum in her mind: "Cerebellum, are you sure I'm in a hard mode world right now?"
【Of course! Hard mode! It's actually easy mode for you, Xiaoyiyi!】Cerebellum answered the question with some confusion.
[If it's hard mode...] Yi seemed to be recalling something, but after a while she asked another question, [Given Angelina's character design, she should be the typical villainous heiress, right?]
"Yes, although she's a player character, her character design is that of a villain," Cerebellum replied.
Yi Yi nodded, muttering to herself: "Vicious, arrogant, beautiful, accompanied by a touch of haughty foolishness..."
This conversation left the cerebellum completely bewildered.
But the next second, Yi Yi's words made it instantly realize that something was wrong—
"But this Angelina in front of me is clearly not like that, right? And what she's saying sounds very familiar, doesn't it?" Yi Yi said.
The cerebellum immediately realized that something was wrong with the "vicious female supporting character".
[Indeed! Is it because of data corruption?] The cerebellum also started to think, [What she said...]
[This should be the response to the Crown Prince's secret annulment of the engagement, shared by a player who completed all difficulties and the entire game for the first time.] Yi Yi didn't keep them in suspense any longer and explained generously.
【Yes, yes, yes! Speaking of which, that player was amazing! Our beta test team didn't even have a way to perfectly beat the hard mode back then!】Cerebral quickly found the mysterious person who had caused a sensation within the Love Dream team at the time.
They lavished praise on it without reservation.
Isn't that amazing?
Many players, including members of the Love Dream game's beta testing team, achieved the best ending in the hard mode.
It means to follow the lead of the female protagonist, Lily, and become a supporting character.
Under such circumstances.
The "Become the Center of the World" achievement in Hard Mode is almost like a twisted sense of humor from the game developers; it's only theoretically achievable.
A complete guide to all achievements has suddenly appeared.
The action involved punching nobles, kicking princes, and then grabbing Lily, stroking her hair, and putting her back.
It caused a sensation in the industry.
He is known as a god of strategy who is "like a god descending to earth"!
At the time, Lianmeng was even considering whether they could recruit him.
However, the heavily locked IP address left even the core technical staff of Lianmeng at a loss.
Considering the sunk costs, the matter was ultimately dropped.
However, the glorious deeds of that amazing strategy guide creator still circulate in the martial arts world.
Even the founder of Love Dream spoke highly of that person.
How can such talent not be considered remarkable?
Under the cacophony of praise from the cerebellum, Yi Yi scratched her cheek and said somewhat shyly, "Um, thank you."
[Little Yiyi, what are you thanking me for...] Before Little Brain could finish speaking, it suddenly realized, [Wait! Little Yiyi, are you the creator of that walkthrough?!]
Yi Yi blinked, somewhat amused, and said, "Ah, I thought you already knew. You were just flattering me."
[Oh my god!!! She even created several walkthroughs for other Love Dream games right afterward...] Xiaonao exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, these are all games I think are good and worth doing walkthroughs for." Yi Yi replied casually.
After a long pause, the cerebellum finally said, "As expected of Xiao Yiyi."
Yi Yi smiled, without any modesty.
However, the problem now is: [Look at Angelina's dialogue; it's clearly an action from the strategy guide that directly exposes the prince's subtle thoughts that he himself wasn't even aware of.]
The cerebellum instantly returned to the game itself, and after a moment's thought, agreed: "You're absolutely right!"
"And what's most obvious now is..." Yi Yi continued, secretly observing the two of them, "After the Crown Prince's unexpected move, she was actually stuck."
The cerebellum glanced at it and exclaimed, "It really is!"
Yi Yi laughed at the artificial intelligence's stupidity.
The only direct response was: "You don't need to give so much emotional value. What I mean is, go check what's wrong with Angelina's data!"
"Oh, is that so?" The cerebellum chuckled, receiving the instruction, and replied, "Mission accomplished!"
After receiving the familiar notification sound of Cerebellum II being online for assistance.
Ignoring it, Yi Yi began to observe it again.
Is it a data corruption that causes Angelina's actions to follow the strategy guide?
Yi Yi glanced at Angelina's joking but ultimately unhelpful conversation.
I glanced at her constantly fidgeting hands.
But then again, it doesn't seem right.
If you follow the walkthrough, the actions will either be mechanical, repeatedly repeating the opening lines of the dialogue or guiding the conversation in that direction after a deviation occurs.
Or it might be simulating the data from when you played the game, with the core processing being essentially your own data.
However, Angelina's performance is neither like the real Angelina nor like the derived data from the guides...
It's not like me at all!
If you eliminate all the impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, is the truth!
That leaves only one possibility...
At this moment, the returning cerebellum brought the expected news—
【Oh no, Yiyi! We've been switched to a real-life "Dungeon Fighter Online" game!】
In other words, the Angelina in front of us is a real player!
He is also a player who has read his own strategy guide.
Inside, Angelina, the real player, was making light of the situation with some pointless banter.
He was internally screaming: What's going on?! Why can't I log out?!
In a flash, Yi Yi decisively instructed Cerebellum: "Cerebellum, sever the connection between the player and the game, and immediately duplicate Angelina's data to replace the current Angelina."
【No, no, little Yiyi.】 Unexpectedly, the cerebellum decisively rejected the proposal.
Yi Yi frowned, then heard Xiao Nao explain again: "We've tried normal methods but couldn't sever the player connection. We suspect this is because the game is currently running within the Love Dream Data System's game base."
Forcibly cutting off the connection could cause more serious data corruption, potentially harming the consciousness of players still in the game and even involving more players!
Yi Yi hadn't expected things to be so complicated, and frowned as she asked, "Is there a solution now?"
Based on our analysis, once the game data is repaired, the player's consciousness separation operation will be able to proceed normally.
Yi Yi nodded and said, "I understand. I will ensure that this data repair is absolutely successful."
[Immediately deploy the Love Dream logistics team to locate the player based on her IP address and take care of her health at all costs.]
[Considering the players' cognitive capacity, the speed of game time and real time has been slowed down slightly.]
[And... after the player closes the game panel the next time, lock her game panel functionality, making her feel like she's actually traveled through time.]
The cerebellum followed the instructions and sent Yi Yi's decision to the Love Dream Headquarters in the real world.
Angelina, who had finally managed to end the conversation by saying "the matter of annulmenting the engagement will be postponed," saw the Crown Prince off.
She was clearly trying to reopen the game interface, but received no response from the interface.
She clutched her head and screamed, "No way?! Where's my logout button?! Did they deduct my account?!"
Although she felt very sorry, Yi Yi pursed her lips and suppressed the upward curve of her mouth.
Angelina, on the other side of the screen, did not notice Yi Yi's presence.
After muttering to himself for a while, he finally decided to ask for leave to go home and get some sleep.
If you wake up before returning to the real world, treat it as time travel.
……
Yi watched Angelina's departing figure.
Thinking back to how she confidently said before she left that she had transmigrated into the game she had just memorized the strategy guide for, she was simply a chosen one.
Such words.
Only then did I feel relieved enough to open the long-cold bento box and start eating.
"That's more like it! What gamer isn't a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)?" Yi Yi muttered to herself.
Wow, I guess I still prefer hot food. But eating at the school cafeteria is too crowded. I didn't expect to see something like this while eating in the dark.
It's fortunate that we discovered it early; the game had barely begun.
Otherwise, I wouldn't even dare to think about the consequences.
Come to think of it, I spoke too soon again.
I used to think that fixing this game would be a simple matter with no obstacles in sight.
But now... I'm facing a player who has used my own strategies and has an unknown mindset?
OMG!
This……
"Isn't this game really fun?!" Yi Yi grinned mischievously, biting her chopsticks. "Since we're here, we might as well make the best of it~ PVE is nothing compared to PVP!"
Let's play together and give it our all!
Players~
