Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 401 Chapter I Want to Find a Woman

Most players who have played "Red Dead Redemption" have two things that they will never forget; one is the rising sun when Arthur Morgan, the protagonist of the game, died in the deserted mountains, and the other is the "Eagle Ending" that has been passed down by word of mouth but has never received a positive response from the official.

The game's original "Deer Ending" and "Wolf Ending" could not avoid the fate of Arthur Morgan's death; only the legendary "Eagle Ending" gave players hope, and the various opinions were filled with all kinds of beautiful fantasies.

Some players who have invested deep feelings in the game hope that Arthur Morgan can overcome the disease and live a long life; some hope that he will not only be alive, but also have the opportunity to live in seclusion with his beloved woman; and some even hope that the "Eagle Ending" can not only save Arthur Morgan, but also change John Marston's destined fate of death.

A game ending that is difficult to tell whether it exists or not, but players have placed many beautiful hopes on it.

Whether these hopes are fantasies or dreams, the players' well-founded reasoning and unfounded speculation can be summed up in one word: "will."

The will of human beings from the real dimension is also the most powerful force in the virtual dimension - the "real factor".

Lin You wants to modify the plot damage caused by the death of important plot characters. The biggest help comes from those players in the real dimension who are looking forward to the "Eagle Ending" becoming a reality.

I don't know when the quill pen has been in the hands of the pen holder; the intangible and invisible, yet omnipresent spiritual power is infinitely magnified through the quill pen. It not only spreads to the bottom of the big world, but also breaks the time forbidden zone that restricts all people and things, and extends to a wider time and space scale.

If Lin You's own mental power was not limited, this power would have the potential to cover the entire virtual dimension.

Different from his past attitude of accepting all "real factors" when integrating the world, the writer was very picky this time; not all "real factors" that resonated with the quill pen were accepted by him, but he had to make further "selections".

The "truth factor" needed this time must not only be useful, but also be consistent with the plot content modified by the writer.

Only those who strongly hope for the existence of the "Eagle Ending" and have great goodwill towards the two generations of the game's protagonists will be accepted. Going with the flow can achieve twice the result with half the effort. This principle is applicable in many places, and the quill pen is no exception.

Although the requirements are stringent, the game has too much influence in the real dimension and there are too many players. Based on such a huge number, even if the specific "wills" selected do not account for a high proportion, the absolute number is still considerable.

A large number of "real factors" with similar "attributes" were guided by the quill pen, first transformed into "golden ink", then written into words by the writer, and finally integrated into the core of the big world, changing all aspects related to this story.

This was a subtle but eye-catching change. After the formation of the big world, it was the first time that a large-scale modification was made to an already integrated story; and under the guidance of the writer, a new ending that obviously violated the old background and logic was successfully written and recognized by the will of the big world.

In the original story, Arthur Morgan died, but now he has retired to Tahiti and lives out the rest of his life in peace.

The original story follows that John Marston was discovered by Agent Ross several years after he retired. In order to protect his wife and children, he had to return to the underworld and hunt down his former accomplices. In the end, he was abandoned by Ross and shot to death on his own farm.

Now, in the new ending of the story, although he was still found by the Pinkerton detectives and had to go back to hunt down the fugitive accomplices, he was spared from being abandoned because he was no longer the agent in charge of the hunt. He signed an amnesty agreement with the law enforcement agency and lived out his life as a farmer.

A change that would have shaken the rationality of logic, under Lin You's guidance, was like a spring breeze, quietly moistening the world without causing any waves.

When he finished the rewriting and put away his quill, Lin You found that Tyr and Thor both had an expression of unspeakable emotion on their faces, as if they were shocked by the writer's ability to make things happen with a flip of his hand.

It is not surprising that the quill pen can be rewritten successfully. After all, it is a magical artifact jointly created by all the gods. As long as it can be written, every word can be endorsed by the gods.

The difficulty of the whole thing lies in the fact that the Great World is not completely controlled by the gods now; the will of the Great World has awakened, and it is an existence that the Supreme Gods must treat with caution. But Lin You just wrote a long paragraph to rewrite the background of the Great World, and the will of the Great World silently acquiesced. No wonder Loki and Patrick Morgan tried every means to find out the relationship between the author and the will of the Great World; this soul from the real dimension seems to be favored by the will of the Great World!
Is it because of participating in the creation of the big world, or is it because the "real factor" can stabilize the framework of the big world?

Noticing the mysterious looks from the God of Thunder and the God of War, Lin You smiled calmly; although the two seemed greatly shocked, they probably still did not truly realize the preciousness and terror of the "truth factor".

In his previous life in the real dimension, Lin You already knew clearly how terrible the power of "falsifying history" was. Compared with "creating history" and "writing history", the impact of "interpreting history" is equally far-reaching, or even more so.

You see, before the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the "Iron Father" was the majestic leader who defeated the NAZI, and the Soviet Red Army was also an indispensable and important force for the Allies; and less than 30 years after the death of the Russian Bear, Western public opinion put him on a par with the little mustache, calling him one of the main initiators of World War II.

In the end, the beacon of democracy became the only savior to destroy fascist ambitions and was praised by Western public opinion.

If the Soviet soldiers and civilians who were the creators of history back then knew about this, what would they think?
The power of tampering with history in the real dimension is immense, so isn’t the quill pen that can turn stories into reality in the virtual dimension Lin You’s biggest trump card?

Therefore, this trump card will never be easily revealed until the most critical moment. For the writer, the more half-understood and confused performances like Thor and Tyr, the better; the longer they last, the better.

"What should we do with these two?" Tyr, who had come to his senses, looked at Loki and Hela and sought the writer's advice.

Lin You thought about it, and released all four poisonous snakes in his hand, biting the two immobile Nordic gods with a "click, click" sound, injecting countless snake venoms. Then he waved his hand to signal Tyr: "Okay, you can take them back and take care of them. With the snake venom spreading in the gods' bodies, they will not pose a threat."

Watching the writer's actions, Tyr looked puzzled; he didn't know whether the other party's actions were aimed at guarding against Loki and Hela, father and daughter, or against himself and Thor, brothers.

Or maybe a combination of both?
"The matter of Loki has come to an end, and now we are rivals again." Tyr said sullenly.

"That depends on what you think." Lin You seemed to be nonchalant, but he reminded the other party intentionally or unintentionally, "But for me personally, my biggest enemy is always Patrick Morgan; although He is injured, he still has a helper. I will not be at peace until I catch Him; what about you?"

Before Tyr could answer, Thor suddenly interrupted: "Patrick Morgan's injury may not be as serious as we thought."

"Why do you say that?"

"I can't really explain it. It's just a hunch. I often have similar hunches on the battlefield." Even though he spoke calmly, Thor's voice was still rough and loud. "Logically speaking, the damage we caused to His divinity was extremely severe. He shouldn't have the energy to open a space channel to escape."

Lin You frowned slightly, and suddenly had a bad guess in his heart: "You two have caused the greatest damage to Him, so can you confirm which of His divine natures was injured?"

"Hmm?" Unlike the confused look they showed when facing the quill, these two Nordic gods were both combat-oriented and understood the relevant questions immediately. "You want to talk about Ares's divinity?"

"You guessed it too?" Lin You frowned, "Could it be that He used the part of Ares's godhood to protect Himself from disaster?"

Tyr and Thor looked at each other without saying a word, as if they accepted this possibility.

Lin You knew what was going on, and couldn't help but sigh: "If this is the case, this God of Truth can't be killed by anyone who wants to... Maybe I should find a woman?"
