Mei Man starts with black robe pickets

Chapter 191 Conjecture and Setting

The deceased author's name is 'Flower Language'.

Although it sounds like a girl's pen name, the author himself is a serious boy.

Huayu is a fan of Xia Yingyue, and has written many fan stories for the characters Xia Yingyue created, most of which are short stories.

Later, after Xia Yingyue created Andrea, Huayu also discussed with Xia Yingyue about the creation rights, and Xia Yingyue agreed as always.

It's just that although Xia Yingyue handed over her fan fiction, she didn't read Huayu's fan fiction much.

At the beginning, she could indeed read it, but later, because of practical matters, Xia Yingyue didn't have the energy to spare.

It wasn't until Roger's arrival recently that Xia Yingyue realized that the key to Roger's time travel might not lie in herself, but in other people, and then she searched for other works of Huayu.

And it was finally determined that the experience related to Andrea described by Roger was roughly similar to the fan story described by Huayu.

But the problem is that in the last chapter created by Huayu, except for the last mention of Xia Yingyue's new character design, there is no mention of Roger's existence.

"So this is a prequel?"

Luo Jie briefly flipped through the novel and asked Xia Yingyue.

Xia Yingyue drank coffee with a lot of sugar cubes, and said to Luo Jie:

"I don't know, but according to what you said, this can indeed be called a prequel. It tells the first half of Andrea's life, and it also brings in the new character I set later. But as for the story behind What, we don't know."

"So...the thread is broken?"

Roger looked up inquiringly.

The language of flowers is dead, and no one knows the direction of the subsequent story. It seems impossible to find a way to return to the world of beautiful comics from here.

Xia Yingyue sipped her coffee and said to Luo Jie:
"Not necessarily, you want to go back to the world of American comics, right? Then you have to figure out one thing first, whether you are the first to have the character set, or the first you, and then in some It is under the influence that the works and characters we create come into being."

"How to prove this?"

Roger asked suspiciously.

Without knowing the connection between reality and the world of the work, it is simply impossible to prove which of the two comes first.

Although Roger has the superhuman strength of the god of the world, but in the final analysis, Superman is not an omniscient and omnipotent god, and it is impossible to really understand everything.

But when Xia Yingyue mentioned this, she became interested, she patted the table and said:

"Let's do an experiment!"

"experiment?"

"Yes! I'll post the persona I set up online first, and add some new abilities that seem reasonable to it. Wait until your abilities are almost recovered, and see if there are any more similar abilities. As soon as we come, we can be sure whether it is the character design that existed first, or you that existed first!"

"Why post it online?"

"Have you seen a Japanese manga called "RE: Creator"?"

Xia Yingyue didn't answer Roger's question, but raised a question instead.

Roger thought about it for a while and said, "It seems to have some impression."

"You can look it up when you go back. If it's true that you were created first... No, it's the character you traveled through. Then the step of posting the human design on the Internet is very important."

Xia Yingyue said, drank the coffee in her hand, and then said to Luo Jie:
"All in all, let's talk about this first today. I suddenly have an idea. This time I will definitely be able to draw a satisfactory work! That's it, goodbye!"

Unlike Xia Yingyue who was in a lost state on the hospital bed some time ago, now Xia Yingyue looks quite lively, and her face is also full of excitement.

Judging from her physical condition, she was indeed in a state of excitement, probably because she really had some inspiration.

Luo Jie watched Xia Yingyue's back, paid the payment silently, and finally left the coffee shop and walked into a nearby Internet cafe, and began to search for the Japanese manga works Xia Yingyue mentioned.

Although Roger used to be a nerd and liked watching movies and anime, he actually played games more often. Although he watched a lot of anime, he didn’t watch everything.

Therefore, it is normal to have watched anime or not.

And after finding out the anime that Xia Yingyue said, Roger showed an expression of "so that's it".

The specific plot in the anime Xia Yingyue asked Roger to look for is the story of the characters in the fantasy works coming to reality and then happening in the real world.

There are many settings in which Roger does not need special understanding, he only needs to know one thing.

That is, the characters in the created fantasy works, the abilities they possess, and the strength they can display, actually have a lot to do with their popularity.

In more precise words, it has something to do with the degree of recognition of ability.

Take Superman as an example. Everyone knows that Superman has heat vision, a body of steel, can fly, and can hear and see things far away...etc.

These abilities are imprinted in everyone's minds, so if Superman comes to the real world, through the impressions in these people's minds, Superman will be able to use all the abilities he can use.

And abilities similar to 'space transfer', 'mental manipulation' and 'time reversal' are abilities that Superman will not possess.

Even if other fandoms describe these abilities of Superman, if no one admits it, it is impossible for Superman who came to the real world to have these abilities.

Therefore, "being known and recognized by many people" is the main reason why characters in fantasy works can also use surreal abilities in reality.

This is what Xia Yingyue wanted to tell Luo Jie.

If it is really the existing character design that has Roger crossing over, then if the character's ability is set to be more powerful, Roger's ability will also become stronger.

"But that's just a guess."

Luo Jie, who fast forwarded through the whole work in half a day, was skeptical of Xia Yingyue's thoughts.

Even if it is true that the people from the motherland that Roger traveled through were created first, if there is no long-term operation and recognition from more people, even if Xia Yingyue sets up new abilities, Roger may not be able to able to have.

But having said that, this is more or less a way. Since Xia Yingyue wants to experiment, let her try it, and Luo Jie will not suffer.

After playing games in the Internet cafe for a while, Luo Jie was about to get off the plane and leave when he suddenly received a call from Ding Lei:

"Hello? Roger, where are you?"

"Internet cafe, what's the matter?"

"Hey, if you have a computer at home and go to an Internet cafe, you're really good at it...Forget it, send me your location, and I'll find you."

After Ding Lei finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and then he sent a WeChat location to Roger to confirm the location of the two parties.

Luo Jie sent his location to Ding Lei, and he didn't get off the plane to leave, but opened the online game he hadn't played for a long time and played for a while.

About half an hour later, Ding Lei came to the Internet cafe where Roger was, and when he found Roger, he patted Roger on the shoulder and said:
"It's alright, kid. I haven't seen you for half a month, and you've become a hero who stands up for justice?"

"Where is it? It's just a fluke. What do you come to see me for?"

Roger asked in surprise.

Ding Lei should be very busy recently. The game is in the most critical development period. As the head of the studio, Ding Lei doesn't even have time to play games with Roger. Why did he think of coming to Roger today?

Sitting down beside Roger and turning on the machine, Ding Lei replied:

"Isn't this busy? I want to come out to play with you to relax. Who knows that you kid is not at home and come here to stay here. What are you going to play?"

"After watching the show for a while, and playing Overwatch for a while, I don't think it's interesting."

"That's right, the online games that are released now are getting more and more boring."

Ding Lei said something in agreement, and then said: "Then how about playing Yongjie? This is a new game that was released when you were asleep. It's similar to eating chicken, but it uses cold weapons."

"Sounds interesting, try it?"

"First, you have to buy the game first."

"..."

Roger was speechless, but it just so happened that he was brave enough to get a bonus recently, which was not short of a few hundred dollars. In order to play games with friends he hadn’t seen for a long time, Roger still spent some money to buy games and play a few games with friends.

Although Roger didn't use his full strength, Roger, who was no longer an ordinary human, was far superior to ordinary people in terms of reaction speed and hand speed.

So playing the game becomes very simple.

Ding Lei even called Roger directly as if he was cheating, but of course he was just yelling as usual. Usually Ding Lei is very good at playing games, just like Thor, everyone seems to be cheating.

Compared with before, Roger's desire to win games is much less, and he doesn't pay much attention to the victory of games, he just plays for fun, and it doesn't matter if he can eat chicken or not.

While playing, Roger chatted with Ding Lei, asking him about the game.

The game developed by Ding Lei is a text game with simple gameplay and concise style. The player plays a god and controls a person's life through words.

Treat everyone's life as if it were a work.

Because the type of the game is similar to Xia Yingyue's setting of human beings first and abilities later, Roger couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

What if the person who wrote the player's life in words ran out in the game.

"What else can I do? Hand it over to the country."

Ding Lei replied without thinking.

Roger smiled helplessly: "This is really your answer, but that's not what I want to ask."

"Then what do you want to ask?"

"What if the person who ran out wants to go back?"

"Go back?" Ding Lei was stunned for a moment, and then replied perfunctorily: "Why do you still go back? I really think that players are gods, who can send people back as soon as they say they want?"

Leaving aside the impact of text on fantasy works, the player is just an ordinary person in the real world. Even if the characters in the work run out and come to find the player, or the producer wants to go back or something... the player You can't even do it with the producer.

Roger knew this too, so he asked the next question.

"What if, the producer or the player, adds many other settings to the created person in the game? For example, what if he has the ability to travel through the world?"

"This game can beat you, believe it or not?"

"...Does that mean no one will read it?"

"It can't be said that there are no people at all, but there will definitely be fewer people. Changing the setting midway is a taboo for the work. If the setting is too natural and peaceful, it's okay, but if it is too full of violations, the work will not be recognized. of."

Ding Lei said seriously.

Listening to what Ding Lei said, Luo Jie felt that it made sense. The initial setting was fixed, and it was not so easy to change it later.

Therefore, Luo Jie felt that Xia Yingyue's idea might not come true.

And so far, it has not been clarified whether Xia Yingyue's setting is due to the existing setting and then the character, or the first character.

Maybe Xia Yingyue's guess is wrong.

Playing with Ding Lei until very late, the two of them didn't go anywhere all night, they just stayed in the Internet cafe until late at night.

Originally, Ding Lei wanted to find Luo Jie for a drink and some barbecue, but then he forgot about it when he got into the game, and just ordered two pancakes and fruits to deal with the supper.

It was early morning when he came out of the Internet cafe. The yawning Ding Lei made an appointment with Luo Jie to come out for dinner tomorrow, and then took a taxi back home.

Roger glanced at the sky, and decided not to take a taxi and walk home. Anyway, the location of the Internet cafe is not far from home, so just walk back slowly.

On the way back, Luo Jie took out his mobile phone and took a look, and found that Xia Yingyue had sent him a message before that.

"The draft is finished! I'll put the initial design on the Internet first, and I'll make up the more detailed settings later. If you have time, go up and take a look."

These few words were divided into several parts, and Luo Jie replied with "Thank you" after reading it, and Xia Yingyue quickly replied:
"It's nothing hard. Although many things were destroyed by the fire, I still have a backup in the network disk. This is revised from the previous draft."

"It's so late and you haven't slept yet?"

"? That's just a little bit. How many modern young people go to bed so early?"

"You don't have class tomorrow?"

"Didn't this just happen at home? The counselor gave me a one-month vacation, and I'm still on vacation... Okay, I won't tell you more, I'm going to catch up on the manuscript, so hurry up and check it out online, what's there?" Feel free to comment."

After Xia Yingyue finished speaking, she didn't reply again. Luo Jie lamented how energetic the college students are now, put his phone away and continued walking home.

There is no way to watch it now. Roger’s mobile phone does not have a ladder, and he cannot log in to the external network, so he can only go home to watch it.

Thinking about Xia Yingyue and himself, Luo Jie walked home.

Originally, Luo Jie planned to go home to take a good look at the new settings given by Xia Yingyue, but suddenly, a sharp and ear-piercing shout broke the tranquility of the night.

"Monster!!! Help!!!!"

The cry was far away from Roger's direction, but Roger could clearly hear the content of the cry.

Roger, who heard the scream, avoided the nearby surveillance cameras without any hesitation, and quickly flew towards the source of the scream with his newly recovered flying ability.

Roger was very concerned about what the screaming man was yelling.

monster?

what monster?
