Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 435: Yangyue Inn, players are just passers-by
This……

Actually, although her story was aborted, it did give a relatively complete ending, and it can barely be considered to have a beginning and an end.

Moreover, this arrangement also reversed the foreshadowing of her previous pursuit of more than 180 geniuses of alien races in the ruins, but being frightened away by a mysterious existence.

But although her story had a bad ending, her death was actually both unexpected and reasonable.

After all, this crazy woman is really decisive in killing, as if she is mentally ill. She kills other people's families at any time, and she has made too many enemies.

——After all, it’s the “all-kill” emperor.

But no matter what, if her story had an author, there would definitely be a sentence like "Sorry, the result is too poor and I can't keep going" in the closing remarks.

But in this pale reality, where does the superior writer come from who controls everything? Even if there is, it has nothing to do with the pawns on the chessboard.

So for Meryl, her gloomy life was truly miserable.

After thousands of years of hard training, a heart sealed with cement, and enduring three disasters and nine calamities, I finally climbed to the top of the world and finally got to taste some sweetness...

But before he could do whatever he wanted, commit atrocities, or become successful in his old age, or even before he could escape from his mother's loneliness, he died.
Therefore, after getting a chance to reincarnate into another world and start a second life on another magical planet from the small boss, she did two things.

The first thing was to choose a plug-in called [Ultimate Invisibility]. Unless someone was observing from the perspective of a true god-level being, no one could detect her existence.

There was no way. The picture of hell where three old men suddenly appeared out of thin air really scared her, but because she was a crazy woman, she chose "I want it too."

The second thing was that, relying on his duke father and thousands of years of memory, while he was studying in the capital and amazed everyone, he began to eye the young talents around him early on.

Unfortunately, the one who was targeted by this grandmother was Prince Anton, who was still very young and had a baby face. Although he was not good at magic or martial arts, he was the best in the theory of governing a country.

This is also the fundamental reason why Meryl wanted to scold Anton for being so old and still being so arrogant, but in the end she just simply scolded him.

It’s not because she was tired of scolding, but because she also did it, and even she did it first. Anton’s theoretical knowledge foundation was all consolidated by her personally!
But in the final analysis, no matter how good invisibility is, it can only be regarded as an auxiliary means.

If he could really play a decisive role, the first person to die in the Super Seven in the TV version of "The Boys" would not be the Invisible Man.

Even Meryl found, looking back, that the greatest use of this thing was probably that the intelligence obtained from it allowed her to successfully capture Anton.

Therefore, it would be too arrogant for a player who has not even cleared the first level in the original world to rely on such a thing to clear the advanced dungeon in one life.

Even with Anton as their help on the road to salvation, it would be difficult for the two of them alone to overturn the status quo of Yangyue that has existed for tens of thousands of years.

Therefore, to be frank, the reason for her failure was actually the same as that of Changge and his wife.

It’s just that they are more successful because of their strong personal strength, and more unsuccessful because of their weak personal strength.

"How ironic..."

Because he had never seen any other savior in his life, he did not communicate with Yang Yue for a long time after declaring failure.

Meryl had been suppressing her depression for more than a decade, and today she finally had the chance to talk about it. She couldn't help but sigh when she talked about this.

"Looking back, I thought I could have a more glorious life if I lived again, but I didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, it would end up in a mess."

"Is that so? That's really..."

After listening to her savior origin story, Ji Ming was about to express his thoughts when he heard her change of tone.

"I've finished my story, so what's yours?"

……

Oh, so we’re having a story time today, right?

But compared with his magnificent life, what wonderful stories could Ji Ming, who was just an ordinary person before, tell?

He could only simply introduce himself to her as a high-dimensional being with infinite power. In order not to burst the Yangyue World, he did not dare to use his full strength. He could only bring a few players who loved and knew how to play to the Yangyue World.

After half a year of hastily cultivating the fields, the players have now been scattered across this small piece of land from Radiance to Savage Plains. The total number of players is not large, only about one million...

"stop!"

How could she dare to let Ji Ming continue speaking? Meryl quickly spoke up to stop him from showing off.

No wonder the other party was unmoved after hearing me use my personal experience as a warning. It turns out that everything was already under control?
Several technological civilizations have occupied entire planets, their technological levels are developing rapidly, and they have begun to reproduce in the Yangyue World.

There are also millions of professionals who can cause trouble everywhere without any scruples because they can be resurrected infinitely, and their power is constantly expanding.

Even the sum of their current strength is far beyond that of Meryl and Anton in their prime. Given time, defeating Xieyue will not be a problem.

But the problem is...

"You want to ask, if they are out of control, how can I prevent them from becoming a new disaster for the Yangyue World, right?"

"……right!"

How could Ji Ming not know about this hidden danger?

But if you think about it carefully, you can trace back to the origin of the term "the fourth disaster".

——Why is the player civilization in "Stellaris" called the "Fourth Disaster"?
In fact, it is because they own consoles, Fengling Yueying, and even various MODs and game guides from various great players.

As long as they want, they can use countless ways to shape the entire game into any shape they want.

The so-called Fallen Empire is nothing more than a toy for them to skin, suck blood and plunder for pleasure. At most they can make fun of it on the Internet by calling it "Fallen Daddy".

The so-called three great natural disasters are nothing more than targets that they can summon and dismiss at will. They can only curse you as a pervert when they are in a pure and unfavorable situation.

Therefore, in the eyes of NPC civilization, the player civilization, which has endless possibilities and may do anything at any time on a whim, is the real disaster.

If I'm lucky, my full efforts can make the new players who insist on playing pure games so angry that they can't sleep at night and complain wildly on forums and in groups, but that's all.

If you have bad luck, then you are a piece of trash who is very sorry for not letting the old bird who has thousands of hours of game time, the console warrior, the outer disciple of Fengling Yueying Sect, and the husband who has installed strange mods to use his full strength.

But if Ji Ming were to judge, the most terrifying thing about the Fourth Disaster should be that "the game must be related to the players, but the players can have nothing to do with the game."

This virtual world will only work if the player turns on the game and allows time to flow.

And if the player closes the game, or even just presses the pause button because he wants to go to the bathroom, this virtual world will come to a complete stop.

When they get bored and tired, they can even just click and throw the entire universe into the trash can, and it will disappear completely.

Think about it, why should the NPC’s best efforts only result in a pure player who cares enough losing a good night’s sleep?
Because the existence, maintenance, and destruction of this universe can be changed at any time due to the personal desires of the players, they are ants that will never have a chance to escape.

——Players are true gods.

but!

Can players of "Two Moons' Struggle" do all of the above?

Maybe it is barely possible in some places, but it is absolutely impossible as a whole. If it cannot be done, it cannot be done.

No matter how magical Yangyue Star is, it is still a real world bound by laws. Even Ji Ming, who is from a higher dimension, cannot manipulate its fate and time at will. Therefore, the players here are not so much "players" as they are just passing through Yangyue, a place where all things are inhospitable.

They can run, jump, build a majestic army to slay the most terrifying dragon in the world, or they can just leave and never come back.

But if all this is stretched out over time, the impact they can have in just a few decades is still too small.

not to mention.

"The world I come from is much more peaceful than Yangyue. Everyone still has to maintain their dignity. It is impossible to allow players to cause a large-scale humanitarian disaster here."

In fact, this has been a hot topic in the real world for a long time.

After all, even if the game system has its own harmony mechanism, given Yang Yue’s realism, many things are still too real and free.

So is committing a crime here considered a crime?

So, should the guys who kill people like crazy here be treated differently in real life, or even be forced to undergo psychological treatment?

Although one has not yet been born, if there is a big thief who burns, kills, robs and commits all kinds of evil here, or even brings chaos to the whole country, should he be treated as a dangerous element and forcibly detained?

Although there is no definitive answer yet, the existence of controversy means there is indeed a problem, and there is indeed a powerful force that is disgusted by these behaviors.

It is also for this reason that, due to the food shortage in the southern part of the kingdom exacerbated by the exploitation of the nobles, the four major grain merchants who are regarded as birds of a feather in the real world have successively announced major concessions and called for an end to the food war.

Many leaders of strange small countries, including the overthrown King Pisser II of Balanta, were also criticized by the international community for their behavior similar to that of the Glorious Nobles, and their diplomatic status instantly became stinking dog shit.

It is no wonder that Earth Girl is happily beating drums and gongs, because "The Struggle of Two Moons" is like a mirror of the real world. It does not bring about the intensification of chaos, but a real self-examination.

But if irreversible chaos really occurs due to the players' behavior, Ji Ming, as the savior, also retains an absolutely effective brake.

"If it doesn't work, as the energy supplier, I will unplug the power cord, stop the transmission of divine power, delete all accounts, and announce the cancellation of the Fourth Disaster Plan."

——The account is gone. Players can’t cross the dimensional boundary in the physical body. That’s too annoying (puts hands together).

In fact, the reason Meryl asked so many questions was simply because of her sense of responsibility as a former savior.

Now seeing that Ji Ming knows what's going on and is very virtuous enough to have left a way out, there won't be any doubts anymore.

But as a fellow traveler, I can't help but sigh.

"It's so pathetic. I've spent the first half of my life doing so much, but it's not as good as what you did quietly for half a year?"

And Ji Ming would offer a word of comfort.

"It doesn't matter. In fact, among the hundreds of saviors before, some of them spent their entire lives but never reached the same level as you are now. You have done well enough."

"previous……"

Meryl pondered for a moment and suddenly asked.

"Actually, I'm very curious. As a higher-dimensional being, what is Lord Will's attitude toward you?"

Low emotional intelligence: Lao Lai entertains his parents, shows filial piety in front of them, often chats and jokes with them, and complains about everything he sees, including your and Eleanor's height.

High EQ: “We are a collaborative relationship, and occasionally we have discussions about big choices.”

But Ji Ming was a god that was finally summoned. Meryl was at best a powerful foreign aid, not to mention that she was not that powerful.

So the boss naturally wouldn't put filial piety first. In fact, after the novice was guided, it simply disappeared and squatted beside her, watching her do things quietly.

So much so that Meryl couldn't help but blurt out a sentence.

"I can even help you with your advice. I'm so envious. I'm so envious... haha..."

Maybe it was because Ji Ming's existence took over her unfinished work.

It is also possible that Ji Ming's presence means that the Eleanor she is worried about can no longer suffer.

Coupled with the frank heart-to-heart talk with his beloved Anton, all the grudges of this life were finally settled.

In short, as soon as these words came out, Meryl's heart knot was untied, and the blood color on her face disappeared.

"Hey you……"

Ji Ming's current level is not as high as hers, so he cannot see her self-curse which is far more severe than the [Siphon Trap] cast on Anton.

But when in doubt, drinking some Spirit Gathering Liquid is always a good idea, so the genius doctor Ji Ming attacked again and immediately gave the old senior a big dose.

Meryl, who was vomiting blood, was about to collapse on the rattan chair, but she was so frightened when she saw this that she stood up straight.

"This is... the potion you gave Anton? Do you have so many?!"

She still remembered how trembling Anton's hands were when he tried to give her some of the potion, and he wanted to pour it drop by drop into the empty bottle.

Groove stuff, if I could go back to being sixteen, I would definitely... teach him how to be a generous little boy first!
But no matter what, Meryl, who is already in a state of despair, is now determined to die.

After having a heart-to-heart talk with Anton all night and agreeing to leave together to make up for past mistakes, how could I possibly regret it?

She was determined to go with him, so Meryl did not touch the bucket of soul-gathering liquid that would surely extend her life by decades.

On the contrary, she took out a necklace from her storage ring and placed it on the table in front of Ji Ming.

"This is the most precious treasure in my life. I have never let anyone see it, including Anton."

"Ji Ming, no, Lord God, I am about to die, I want to use this to exchange for a promise from you!"

Ji Ming didn't need to figure out what the necklace was, because the boss who was shocked into seeing garbled text had already posted the answer.

【what? 】

【ah! ? 】

[There is a familiar smell on this pigeon egg. It...it seems to be the eye of the God Slayer! ]

God Killer!?

Since even Yang Yue was so surprised, it was impossible for Ji Ming to think that Meryl could have such an ancient relic.

……

He pondered for a moment, leaning forward slightly.

"Tell me, what promise do you want from me, to save the world or to save Eleanor?"
