Pera answered without thinking: "I, Pera, hate the most in my life is breaking chapters at critical moments."

Pella, who wanted to hear all the stories, looked up at the boundless night outside the window. After struggling for a while, she still made a choice: "If only a small part of the story is told... I won't be able to sleep after I go back. "

Zhenye left a message: "Then please enjoy your curry, Ms. Pera."

Then he began to clean the unused tableware and coffee cups, and seemed to no longer pay attention to Pella.

Pella didn't ask too much and quietly enjoyed the 'Extreme Curry' provided by Zhen Ye.Soon her taste buds were conquered by the delicious food on earth that could only be found in heaven.

The ingredients used in the ultimate curry are not gorgeous, and Zhenye does not deliberately use some supernatural-level ingredients.But with his extraordinary cooking skills, this curry really has a "happy taste" added to it.

After finishing the curry, Pella took out her wallet and counted out the Winterfell Shield according to the prices on the menu to pay.Finally, she looked back at the interior of the cafe, then opened the door and blended into the night.

……

The next morning.

Early in the morning, Pera was thinking about how to ask for leave without clearly revealing her intentions.

Skipping work to search for novel materials... If Miss Bronya knew the 'reason for taking leave', would she be looked down upon...

Pella struggled for a while and thought about several ways to ask for leave.

It wasn't until she realized that she was going to be late if she kept dawdling like this that she quickly changed her clothes, washed up in the morning, had breakfast, and then started to take action.

Bronya went to Clipper Castle and went directly to the 'Grand Guardian's Office' to find Bronya.

In the office, only Cocolia was handling official business.Hearing the sound of the door opening, Cocolia, who was immersed in busy official duties, raised his head slightly.

She was startled for a moment, then showed a gentle smile: "...It's Pella. What's the matter?"

Pella was shocked.

Regarding Cocolia, Pella had a little shadow in her heart.

Although Cocolia's behavior has changed drastically now, her inhumane performance as the Great Guardian is still deeply reflected in her personal impression.

Feeling that the situation was a little bad, she hesitated for a year and finally said bravely: "Isn't Miss Bronya here?"

Cocolia put down the document in her hand and sighed softly, and said ambiguously: "Bronya...she has to deal with her own 'life events'."

"Although I am no longer the Great Guardian, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me. I will provide as much help as I can."

……Life Events?

Chapter 48 What’s going on in the player community?

'Let me see what the real world player community is doing. '

It's time again to connect the network to the real world to obtain the trends of the 'upper narrative layer'.After sinking his mind into the train in the cognitive world, Zhenye picked up his phone and opened the player community APP.

The trend of the player community is still focused on various player discussion topics such as 'combat activities', 'real character related discussions' and so on.

It seems that the aftermath of the unprecedented performance art has subsided.

After taking a brief look at the posts that were popping up like mushrooms after a rain, Zhenye had a definite grasp of the trend in the player community.

At present, the main attention of players is still focused on co-fighting activities.However, a small number of players are already discussing version updates.

With her heart trembling with excitement and her hands trembling, Zhen Ye clicked on the fan section and took a look at the status of this section.

"These players are really outrageous... The intensity of the creation of this fanart is really... tsk tsk."

Among player communities, the fan community is considered the most popular module.

As we all know, the impact of fan creations on games is immeasurable.Good fan creations can lead the trend and attract popularity, which can be regarded as indirect promotion of the game.

Maybe it's because his "character design" is more handsome and more divine (no typo), so he has slightly more female fans.

Fanart is a mess in this regard.

It may be because most of the creators are women, so the fanart about himself, or the fanart (or written stories) with the currently known male characters of the same world view, are of varying degrees of rottenness.

Compared with the normal 'male and female CP', they are basically all CPs with female pioneers.The few characters who are not 'female pioneers' and appear in fan art are all 'self-designed' characters noted by the artist.

"Tsk tsk..."

The appearance of the fan community made Zhen Ye couldn't help but frown.

He decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing to observe fan art or fan stories, and randomly selected a few posts related to 'character design'.

He clicked on a few related posts at random, and he could see that the intensity was outrageous at a glance, as if he had not thought about it at all, but the pictures and character models were very well designed and outrageous.

Well, this kind of fill-in value, but the character design is a perfect standard routine... it is most likely the work of female fans.

Seeing himself in fan art, and even the 'highly imitation of the official character design', as a handsome young man with a sense of elegance and mystery, Zhenye felt an indescribable sense of relaxation in his heart.

The female gamers in this world actually don’t like the kind of little boys with high silk knee-high socks that burn nothing... I’m really lucky that I didn’t end up like this.

He can accept that his fan creations have a rotten taste, and he can even accept the effeminate ones, but he absolutely cannot accept that he suddenly turns into an inexplicable little boy with high silk thigh-high socks and zero burning.

Humans are neither human nor ghosts, so disgusting.

After browsing the player community fan section for a while, Zhenye returned to the homepage and clicked on the official update announcement pinned to the top.

Well, the copy of the updated trailer was pretty much what he expected, with the same specifications.It's just that the maintenance time and update compensation are different from what I thought.

After all, this is a 'complete stealth game', so it's natural that the update time will be longer.And if the update time is long, then the maintenance compensation will not be less.

[Update notice: A three-day version update and maintenance will begin on June XX (one week after the 'Advanced Narrative Layer').update content……]

[New main plot-Xianzhou: Luofu]

[Hidden tasks are waiting to be discovered. ]

[New companion missions: True Self-Bronya, True Self-Xie'er, True Self-Silver Wolf]

[…(Fix BUG and other various items)]

[Character activity transition - first half: ★5 characters, the real self-Bronya card pool is about to open! ]

['We are no longer at a loss. ']

[True Self-Bronya Companion★5 Light Cones: 'Life Talk', Synchronized UP! ]

[True Self-Bronya Accompanied Light Cone: Life Talk]

[Definition of happiness: When the character equipped with this light cone is in combat and alive, the critical hit rate of all allies increases by 18%.When the increased critical hit rate exceeds 100%, the additional critical hit rate will be converted into the same critical hit damage. ]

[Happiness: Based on the number of buff effects of all allies, increase the effect hit, critical damage, and speed of all allies.Each buff increases by 2.5% and can be stacked five times. ]

[Future: Based on the number of debuff effects on all parties, the effect resistance, defense power, and maximum health limit of all parties will be increased.Each debuff increases by 2.5% and can be stacked five times. ]

(When there are multiple characters equipped with this light cone in the same team, the highest value will take effect and only one will take effect.)

[For girls, happiness and future are words full of unknowns and emptiness. ]

[What exactly is "happiness"? Where should the "future" be? ]

['You look troubled.Need a "life talk," ma'am? ']

["I have fought the good fight; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith." If you reach that day, you will understand that true "happiness" and "the future" ”. ]

[The conversation that day and night did indeed remain in the girl’s heart. ]

[In this life-changing "Life Talk," she defined her own happiness and determined the future she should seize. ]

"Good guy...I never said anything like that."

The vertical painting of the "exclusive light cone" of Bronya's true self is a scene of his and Bronya's life-long conversation in the morning coffee shop.

This scene looks particularly lifelike.

'Vertical painting' makes perfect use of the Tyndall effect, adjusting the light effect of the entire picture very elegantly and very gorgeously.

The vertical painting is perfect, but the introduction of the light cone is a bit unclear, and there are even words that Zhen Ye has not said before.

But it's normal.

According to the tradition of Mishe, these fields that should be filled with related stories are filled with some incomprehensible stories, which is a classic-within-a-classic level operation.

Especially the [], and "" that fill the screen, and even the standard small characters, the inner flavor is really overflowing.

In addition, at that time, I took Bronya directly to the real world to 'observe happiness'.Naturally, it is impossible to set the light cone in this way, so I can only fool around with something incomprehensible.

"I didn't appear as a character in the card pool... It seems that the 'upper narrative layer' has some plans and is preparing for a big wave."

Zhenye didn't see any warning about him, so he wasn't surprised at all.

He didn't even use the systematic deduction method to predict the deduction, and he could guess that the 'upper narrative layer' did not have any concerns about him being limited to the starting card pool.

After watching the update trailer, Zhenye turned his attention to the three-day service suspension maintenance announcement.

This 'update' time...

'Om—'

The revelation from the Star of Destiny made Zhenye realize that the 'version update' of the real world would have a profound impact on his worldview, even without any systematic deduction.

Maybe we should consider what we can do with the time we have during downtime for maintenance.

Chapter 49 Cocolia: Daughter, go and seize the future!

At dawn, the sign outside the glass door of the cafe was automatically turned over by a mysterious force, changing from 'Closed' to 'Opening'.

A ray of morning light fell on the streets of Belloberg. The wind of late winter and spring brought life and a bit of coldness at the same time.

The girl with long silver-gray hair stood at the door, breathing deeply and gently, trying to calm her restless mind.

Should I...should do this?

No, that's not right...that's what you should do.

...Yes, when?

Was it the first time you showed your trust to a strange outsider?

Was it when he learned that he could perfectly save his mother and set Belloberg on the right path?

Or... when I began to trust NAVI wholeheartedly and without reservation?

...Or was it that conversation at the orphanage in Rivet Town?

……

"Mother...can you tell me what true 'love' is?"

Cocolia was stunned for a long time after hearing this question.Just when Bronya thought she would not answer this question again, Cocolia smiled softly again.

"It's hard to answer."

Cocolia had a deep expression that saw everything through, and she took a long time to formulate the words before making an analogy.

"In the legend, the humans in the Garden of Eden gained wisdom and love precisely because they ate the forbidden fruit. Love is one of the sins and virtues that accompany humans."

"At the same time, it is also a quality that everyone has in their heart."

"When you are not satisfied with being 'just friends' with a friend of the opposite sex who is close to a certain age and want to go further, the bud of love is born."

Cocolia said a lot, but then pretended to say nothing.

After all... First of all, this thing is really hard to say.Secondly...when her daughter came to ask her, who could she ask?

This thing...if you ask me, I don't know either!

After Cocolia summarized a lot of nonsense, she pressed Bronya's shoulder and said seriously: "Daughter, you have to think clearly——"

"Those pioneers will continue to move towards a more distant future after all. Perhaps to them, we are just passers-by on the journey..."

"If you really like that young man wearing a monocle, and he leaves with the train set..."

"If we say goodbye, I'm afraid we'll be gone forever... Maybe we won't see each other again, or maybe when we meet again, one will look at the withered bones of the other."

Bronya was a little anxious: "Mother, I -"

Cocolia, who had been extremely gentle to Bronya during this period, was uncharacteristically interrupted. She interrupted her very forcefully and warned her in a cold tone: "Mom, I emphasize it again...Daughter, if you really have such a plan, please do it." Think clearly."

"Of course, if it's your choice, then Mom won't ask for anything more... If that's really the future you decided on, just go ahead and pursue it."

"If you want to leave this planet and follow the pioneers on the road to pioneering...that is also the choice you make."

Bronya: "...???"

Mother, what are you talking about?
