Ren Suo tried again, and found that except for the NPCs marked with red boxes, he could control other people.

However, compared to red-framed NPCs, it takes a lot more merit to control other NPCs, and there are few options, most of which are: "Approach the Rebel (cost 10 merits)" and "Stay away from the Rebel (consume 10 merits)".

In addition to the 'Reverse Female Devil', there are also NPCs such as 'White Bishop in Love' and 'Temperate Female Knight', they can also influence the rebels, but the required consumption of merit is extremely low, and they don't even need to spend merit, which can be described as cheap.

Ren Suo clicked on the female demon and asked her to execute the command "Attack the rebel", and then a dialog box appeared on the female demon's head:

"My heart cannot be right, my will cannot be understood, my deeds cannot be revealed, my good intentions must be hidden behind malice, my heart must be wrapped in ruthlessness, I will never fight for superficial and vulgar things, I will always be arrogant and free and cynical...... So, rebels, enjoy this kindness!"

I saw the female demon go outside the toilet, Ren Suo chose to let the rebels investigate the toilet door, and sure enough, he moved again and tried to leave quickly.

However, at this time, the female demon suddenly approached!

The female demon has launched an attack on the rebels, "true malice"!

The rebels can't move, 9s of time remaining!

Rebel Resolve Increased!

At this point, an energy gauge appears on the left side of the screen, and the blue energy representing the Rebel's Resolve has increased slightly.

Ren Suo took a look: "Determination represents the protagonist's consciousness, when the protagonist's determination is high enough, there will be no gap between the player and the protagonist."

What do you mean?

At this time, Ren Suo heard a prompt from the headset: "If the determination is high enough, the protagonist will no longer resist the player's instructions."

Ren Suo was taken aback by the headphones, took off the headphones and looked at them, only to remember after a while that this "listening headphones" also had the effect of "listening" to more game settings, but because listening to the headphones had only strengthened the ability of "desire detection" before, Ren Suo couldn't remember it for a while.

Ren Suo secretly said in his heart, let me go, is this rebel so shaky, he has to be whipped before he is willing to work?

However, just as Ren Suo was studying this data, the time for the rebel to be bound had passed, and he also brazenly launched an attack on the female demon!

The rebels attack the female devil: "Verbal deception"!

The witch dodged and smiled back with a playful smile.

The rebel unleashes the skill on the female demon: "Kneel and plead"!

The female demon is bewitched by the rebels and listens to the rebels for the time being.

Rebel Resolve decreases.

Then Ren Suo saw that the female devil was actually pulled out of the banquet hall by the rebels, and during this period, Ren Suo couldn't even control the female devil!

"Looks like the rebel's skills are a higher priority...... Moreover, the rebels must not be given a chance, and the rebels must be completely suppressed in one go. ”

Ren Suo touched his chin, this time he didn't lose any merit at all - the merit consumption that ordered the female devil to act triggered the -10 consumption merit effect of "Goose Plucking" - but he finally faintly saw the opportunity to clear the level, and his mood was a little uplifted.

Again!

At the beginning of this game, Ren Suo chooses to influence the rebels with the 'White Emperor in Love', who looks like a nobleman in a white robe, and next to him stands a circle of pixels of the paper man lady (presumably the little sister). After clicking on the White Emperor, a dialogue bubble also appears on his head: (The rebel seems to have gone to the toilet...... ）

Anyway, why do you all pay attention to the fact that the rebels went to the toilet?

The White Emperor also has three options, but they are slightly different from the female demon's options:

"Talk to the Rebels"

"Invite the Rebels to Dine (Consume 1 Merit)"

"Attack the Rebels (Consume 5 Merit)"

Ren Suo is undoubtedly choosing the third option to try, anyway, he just cleared "Ghost in the Night" and "High Energy Ahead", and he didn't spend much, so he may be a little tight in buying games, but he is still comfortable with krypton gold in normal times.

Then he saw the White Emperor leave from the flowers, and said to himself:

"I am the snow that does not melt all day long on the peak, the cold ice under the glacier that no one can touch, the deepest color of the night, but the snow will eventually meet the warm spring, the ice will also usher in global warming, and the fireflies will flicker in the depths of the night...... So, rebel, feel my cold warmth!"

The White Emperor then broke into the toilet in a puff of smoke - according to the name, the White Emperor should be a man, and of course he didn't need to wait outside the toilet like the female devil.

The White Emperor attacks the rebels: "Ice in Love"!

The rebels are completely bound and have 14s of time remaining!

Rebel Resolve Drops!

The Rebel's Determination has fallen and cannot be recovered!

"Wait, wait—" Ren Suo rubbed his eyes, "Why did the determination drop this time?" It can't get back up if it falls down, what kind of stock market is this? ”

And there was no need to continue to consume, the White Emperor continued to attack the rebels, only to see the White Emperor condense a heart-shaped white ice cube and smash it at the rebels, smashing the rebels to the ground.

After a while, the rebel was completely unable to move, and then the White Emperor actually held the rebel (two character models overlapped), and then they quietly left!

The system pops up a prompt:

"The rebel was captured by the White Emperor, and the mission failed."

"This White Emperor can actually snatch the rebels directly......" Ren Suo was no longer able to complain: "What kind of ghost is this game, and the option with the most krypton gold can directly lead to the failure of the mission?" ”

This time, Ren Suo did not immediately restart the game, but entered a brainstorm:

It goes without saying that the player controls other NPC characters to influence the main character, and this is the real part of the game.

Only a handful of the optional actions of these NPC characters are free options that do not require the consumption of merits. Ren Suo didn't even have to try, he knew that the free option alone would definitely not be able to make the rebels obedient.

As for whether he can clear the customs without kryptonite, Ren Suo can't be sure - if it was the previous game, Ren Suo might be able to muster up the courage to be a hardcore player, and say, 'Lao Tzu can prostitute you for nothing without spending money'.

Because there is a task evaluation system in those games, it is entirely possible for players to pass the game in the simplest way without kryptonite, with the lowest task evaluation; Or let him equip the protagonist of the game with awesome skills to directly improve the strength of the protagonist.

But this time it's different, this strange game after the fusion doesn't have a so-called mission evaluation system at all, as long as you pass the level, you can get all the rewards, but on the other hand, it may mean that clearing the level represents the highest difficulty.

As for strengthening the protagonist, the premise is that the protagonist must be obedient - now that the protagonist is disobedient, he also strengthens the protagonist, is it because he wants the rebel to run faster?

Even if Ren Suo wants to dress the rebel in a beautiful little dress, he must first make him completely obedient, otherwise if he wears a small skirt and his determination is worth stopping, then Ren Suo will have to come again.

Therefore, krypton gold is definitely kryptonite, as long as the total amount of krypton gold in the whole process does not exceed 100 meritorious, Ren Suo feels that it is acceptable - at least 100% of the income, it is worth Ren Suo's liver fight.

Returning to the setting of 'influencing the protagonist through NPCs', it is clear from the actions of the White Emperor that not all 'high-priced' actions will be highly effective, and the White Emperor proves that Ren Suo may spend money on waste.

So, why did the White Emperor's attack on the rebels cost so much 5 merit? This is a one-time consumption, and if the game is restarted, it will cost again, and if it weren't for Ren Suo's "goose plucking", he would definitely be in pain.

Ren Suo thought about it and only came up with three reasons: (1) The stronger the player's interference effect, the more merit of consumption. The White Emperor's chat with the rebels was completely free, which may indicate that he wanted to do so in the first place.

And let the White Emperor attack the rebels, although this may also be his will - the White Emperor said to himself before the attack, showing that he was very excited - but maybe he was not in a hurry to attack, or even only vaguely had this thought, and the player's actions were invisibly influencing the White Emperor's thoughts.

In the same way, the female demon may also have the idea of attacking the rebel, but asking her to attack at this moment also requires the player to exert influence - the female demon even needs the player to catalyze even the willingness to communicate, which can be said to be very cold.

(2) The usage of Ren Suo is incorrect. The White Emperor had such a great influence on the rebels that he directly made the rebels' determination value fall to a limit, if it was the other way around, wouldn't it make the determination value rise and fall?

Therefore, it may be at a special moment, or the rebel has some kind of change, so that the rebel can perfectly withstand or even absorb the attack of the White Emperor, and then let the White Emperor attack the rebel, so that the effect of the 'down limit' can be reversed into the effect of 'up limit'.

(3) This option is the same as the option to make the Explorer's women's clothing in "High Energy Ahead", which is purely for fooling players and farming achievements.

After recording his doubts and clarifying his thoughts a little, Ren Suo was also faintly about to find the correct strategy.

Now the sky outside is slightly bright, but Ren Suo is still in good spirits, so he starts the game again and continues to attack.

The rebel still stayed in the toilet with the toilet as his companion, and Ren Suo thought to himself that the toilet was not smelly, otherwise how could the self-aware rebel stay in it all the time?

This time, Ren Suo set his sights on the 'Temperate Female Knight', who stood at the edge of the banquet hall like the Female Demon, but the difference was that the Female Demon was standing near the Lady of Light and other characters, and there were several people next to her who were similar to the female demon's costumes, who seemed to be from the same organization, while the female knight was wearing armor and stood alone on the side of the banquet hall away from the crowd.

Click on the female knight, and a speech bubble will appear on her head: (The rebel hasn't come out yet...... ）

Everyone really knows that the rebels are.

However, the female knight is presented with four options:

"Wait for the rebel to come out and leave with him"

"Wait for the rebel to come out and chat with him (consume 1 merit)"

"Attack the Rebel (Consume 2 Merit)"

"Lore Rebel (Consumes 10 Merit)"

The first three options of the female knight are no different from other NPCs, and the first option is particularly strange - if you want to leave with the rebel, you will lose the mission if you leave!

However, the female knight has an option of "lore rebel", which makes Ren Suo a little itchy.

Maybe this option can directly increase the rebel's 'resolve value'?

In fact, Ren Suo didn't bother to find a reason for his desire to consume: he just wanted to see how the female knight killed the rebel, who was about to go home as soon as he went out.

After choosing the option of "Lore Rebel", sure enough, the female knight also came to say to herself:

"Life is a journey of moderation, a journey of subtraction. Cut off the desire, cut off the weakness, cut off the fear, cut off the heart ape, cut off the charm and spirit, leaving only the purest self. And when you encounter continuous chopping and messing up, choose to accept it, and let everything that cannot be cut off become a part of your self...... Are you ready, rebel?"

Seeing the female knight coming to the toilet door, Ren Suo hurriedly asked the rebel to open the toilet door.

This time, as soon as the rebel went out, he saw the female knight, and seemed to feel that something was wrong and wanted to slip away, but the female knight took a step forward, and the whole person turned into light, and crashed into the rebel with a rainbow of momentum!

Of course, the above picture is made up by Ren Suo's brain, and the actual effect is that the color value of 25 pixels changes to #ffffff (white) at the same time.

The female knight attacks the rebels: "Final Judgment"!

The rebels are intimidated!

The rebels can't act!

Rebels, rebels...... The rebels are gone.

Ren Suo only saw the pixels representing the rebels, which had completely overlapped with the pixels of the female knight.

At this time, the other NPCs in the banquet hall seemed to notice something and walked towards the rebels, including the female demon and the white emperor.

At this time, the mixed elements of the female knight and the rebel come into motion!

TM is walking outside the banquet hall again!

And this time it's even worse, although the rebel went fast before, Ren Suo was able to influence him with the handle, and after the rebel merged with the female knight, Ren Suo lost all the control of the rebel!

Protagonist! Protagonist, what's wrong with you! Don't die, protagonist! Protagonist, why are you missing even pixels!

Does this final judgment mean that you have been eaten by a female knight!?

————————

Leaving Ren Suo's bedroom about 57 meters away, living in another dormitory building, Dong Chengling slowly straightened his waist and sat up directly from the bed. And when she opened her eyes, she directly crossed the 'sleepy-eyed' link and started the day energetically.

Regarding the follow-up process of [Sky Theft Machine Project], Dong Chengling does not need to follow up, and as for the communication with parents, it has nothing to do with her.

Next, she only needed to concentrate on preparing for class, so she returned to her normal rhythm of life in the past two days: cultivation, cooking, studying, and working.

When she finished washing up and was eating breakfast, the doorbell rang, it was the courier.

After all, most of the faculty and staff live alone, and it is very likely that they are not at home, and it is a bit dangerous to put the express at the door - even if the faculty and staff are basically people of high quality and believed in the government college, it is indispensable to guard against people, and there is no need to test people's hearts.

Dong Chengling has no spare time in a day, and she needs to concentrate when practicing, so she arranges the delivery time between 7 and 9 o'clock in the morning, during which she will prepare a lesson plan after breakfast, which is a rest time that can be disturbed.

It was a courier sent by his parents in his hometown, and they were all some agricultural products and seasonings that Dong Chengling loved to eat, and Dong Chengling had received them before, so he was not much surprised.

However, there is also a photo album in this delivery.

Dong Chengling opened it and took a look, and it was basically full of photos of his grandfather. Her heart, which had never slackened, warmed up in a moment, and she sat on the sofa, turning over her dusty memories page by page.

There are a lot of photos of her grandfather, and there are also a lot of photos of Dong Chengling from childhood to adulthood - her father was a young man who loved photography when he was in school, and although he married his mother, who owned a hotel, he never let go of his hobby, and in her father's words, the money spent on the camera was enough to buy a few cars.

As a result, the photographs are not only large in quantity, but also of high quality, and extremely well preserved. Dong Chengling watched himself grow up with one photo after another, while his grandfather, father, and mother were aging in the passage of one photo after another, wrinkled, bent up, no longer beautiful, no longer handsome......

Time is cruel to living beings – after you have bloomed into the pinnacle of your life, you will be watched as you grow old and lose your youth......

When Dong Chengling closed the album, her expression had returned to calm, and there was only calmness and firmness in her eyes.

In the end, Dong Chengling found that there was still a letter in the courier.

Now the express delivery is faster than the post, and Dong Chengling is not surprised, when he opened it, it was his mother's handwriting.

Mother didn't write a lot of things, just high-speed Dong Chengling, everything was fine in his hometown, nothing happened, two days ago they went back to their grandfather's rented house to clean, found old photos and sent them to their daughter to see......

Dong Chengling suddenly relieved her heart - she didn't say too much about the content in "High Energy Ahead", she just reminded her parents to watch the news, and then her father and mother didn't call, just vaguely reminded them that they understood, and there were no accidents.

Turning the letter over the back, Dong Chengling saw his mother talking about the parents in the neighborhood:

"Do you remember your junior high school classmate Yui? She scheduled to set up a wine on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival and delivered the invitation to our house, but we know that you don't know her very well, so we didn't agree on your behalf, if you want to attend her wedding banquet, just call me and let me know.

This is your thirteenth classmate to get married, and you remember that your father-in-law used to keep saying that he wanted to see Xiaoling marry you with his own eyes...... Your father is too, and when he usually fiddles with the camera, he nagged that there is still a lack of Xiaoling's wedding photos......

Dong Chengling sneered, she felt that this passage must have been written by her father to her mother, no, the whole letter should be her father's meaning - her mother is a straightforward person in her memory, so she won't be so twisted and turned.

However, wearing a wedding dress for yourself......

Dong Chengling thought about it and couldn't help but smile: "I have already made up my mind, how can I settle down so quickly......"

Of course, Dong Chengling also knows that getting married does not mean that you have to settle down and give up your ideals. As long as the object is a person who you can fully match, as long as the object is the person you like, then all problems will be solved......

However, marriage is such a major life event, even Dong Chengling can't decide lightly, and marriage is not just her business, and she doesn't know that guy......

Although her parents began to urge, Dong Chengling was not in a hurry: she was still young. Moreover, she has long been prepared for the consciousness of seeking the Tao in solitude all her life, and her current mood has disrupted the rhythm of her life.

"It depends on the mood." Dong Chengling turned on the computer leisurely and continued to cultivate the lesson plan: "Maybe I'll go crazy in the next second?" ”
