This Is Not a Bug but a Game Feature-Chapter 291 - 191: Is the Little Sister the Real Protagonist? (Part 2)

Chapter 291: Chapter 191: Is the Little Sister the Real Protagonist? (Part 2)

The later they appear, the stronger they are!

This principle is deeply understood by players who have played similar games. Generally, the boss that appears last in the storyline is definitely the strongest.

Conversely, the bosses that appear earlier may be incredibly strong at first but become worthless later on.

Take the Golden Eagle Boss, for example!

It’s the level boss of the first Chapter of "Global Evolution" and the culprit responsible for the death of the protagonist Chen Yun’s parents.

Looking at its strength now, it’s still quite decent, at least able to bully second-tier evolvers and below.

But once players evolve to the third tier, the Golden Eagle Boss becomes a joke. It can’t defeat anyone and is in a purely embarrassing situation of being bullied.

Yet it can’t be casually strengthened.

Because the Golden Eagle Boss represents the storyline progress of the first Chapter.

If it were strengthened, even to a certain extent, it would undoubtedly seriously disrupt the plot, equivalent to an alternate "Shili Slope Sword God" event.

"How about this then..."

Chen Ba thought it over and figured that since the stats for these storyline bosses can’t be easily changed, they might as well be given a promotion path.

The level boss in the first Chapter, after defeating a certain number of players, can shed its current identity and become the level boss in the second Chapter’s storyline.

And so on...

In this way, the problems caused by the game’s bug are perfectly solved, and players who become level bosses by accident now have a unique evolution system.

From the first Chapter level boss evolving to the second, third, fourth Chapter...

Evolving ultimately into the game’s ultimate boss—the King of Sea Beasts, who in terms of strength doesn’t lose out to human players.

The final battle of the game, a showdown between the protagonist Chen Yun and the King of Sea Beasts, will become exceptionally brutal and thrilling, as both sides are powerful beings who’ve reached the end of the evolution path, and both are controlled by players.

No one knows who will win or lose.

If Chen Yun wins, it means the game is back on the right track, and the ending is still that ending.

But if the King of Sea Beasts wins, now that would be interesting! Because this would deviate from the game’s original design intent, the plot draft didn’t even have this "human race extinction" ending.

"What about the sister?"

Lu wasn’t interested in Ba’s explanation, he only cared about one issue, what about the protagonist Chen Yun transforming into a fierce beast boss, and what about his sister?

Where did sister Chen Jia go?

...

"Yeah! Where’s my sister?"

Upon logging back in and discovering his sister was gone, Pan Yang found himself a bit unaccustomed.

After all, after playing "Global Evolution" for so long, he was used to having that clinging and sticky sister by his side.

Although this sister showed some potential as a burden, always holding him back when he took her out, never really helping... but that was still the most adorable sister!

Transformed into a fierce beast boss, Pan Yang couldn’t go back to the game’s main city because he’d be suppressed by human experts as soon as he approached.

This also led to...

He was completely unaware of his sister’s current situation, not even knowing if she was dead or alive.

Get other players to help check?

Bro, this is a single-player game! Although it turned into a "pseudo-online" game due to a bug, it’s not truly an online game.

Every player has a sister, his sister can only be seen by himself, the sister others see might look identical, but she’s not his sister.

"Poor sister-chan..."

"Yeah! The parents are dead, the brother transformed into a fierce beast, what will the sister do living alone?"

"Can we storm the main city and bring the sister to our side?"

"Wishful thinking, the human experts stationed in the city aren’t blind, the streamer would be courting death by approaching, there’s no other outcome."

The bullet comments were coming up with suggestions.

Yet no matter how much everyone thought, they couldn’t come up with any good solution; this situation was all Pan Yang did to himself.

If it weren’t for the bug, he wouldn’t have turned from a human into a Golden Eagle.

Now, he couldn’t meet his sister at all. He promised to protect her for a lifetime, but broke this promise.

"Alas! Can’t even continue the storyline..."

Thinking about the posts from other players in the community, especially the part about sister being "sick," Pan Yang felt extremely upset.

Playing games involves immersing oneself.

Even though Pan Yang hadn’t played this game for many days, he indeed got absorbed into the storyline, feeling inexplicably sorry for that poor sister.

He turned into a fierce beast boss, would the storyline continue to progress? If not, wouldn’t that mean a stuck point?

If it continues, then with the sister sick, without his intervention, won’t she be helpless?

With a nagging feeling in his heart, prompted by the bullet comments, Pan Yang decided to write an email to Tianba Studio, wanting to ask what would happen in the subsequent storyline.

He had turned into a fierce beast, what would happen to the sister? What about the subsequent storyline?

"Don’t worry, there will be updates."

After receiving Pan Yang’s email, Tianba Studio quickly responded, saying that Ba was considering creating a new storyline branch for those players turned into bosses.

In this storyline, Chen Yun became a fierce beast, deemed a traitor to the human race, and everyone wanted to kill him, causing the sister to be bullied and ridiculed...

This frail girl, faced with such a blow, suddenly became strong overnight.

She’s no longer the brother’s tagalong because the brother is no longer by her side.

To find her brother, she must strive to become stronger, as she heard from others that brother Chen Yun wasn’t dead, only transformed into a fierce beast.

"The wind and sand are so heavy today..."

Seeing the once fragile girl, fighting tooth and nail to improve her strength for self-protection and to find her brother, becoming covered in scars, Pan Yang admitted that he was moved.

This was the new story preview video sent to him by Tianba Studio.

In this video, Chen Jia seemed to become the true protagonist, representing the "beautifully tragic and strong" archetype.

The parents died, the brother was missing.

To find her brother, she learned to use disguises to protect herself, experiencing her first fight, first injury, first venture into the wilderness...

Then, she returned!

No one knows what Chen Jia went through, anyhow when people saw her again, it was when she slapped a human expert to death, single-handedly destroying Jiangning Base City in a terrifying scene.

"Wow, wow, wow!"

The brother became the King of Sea Beasts, the sister became the strongest human, it’s undeniable that in the new storyline branch, these siblings are truly terrifying.

Pan Yang was stunned while watching.

He never dreamed that in Ba’s newly arranged storyline, the tagalong who loved following him would achieve such heights in the future!

What shocked him even more...

In the "Player Boss Version" storyline, the final battle turned out to be Chen Yun (King of Sea Beasts) VS Chen Jia.

Yes, the siblings faced off!

Chen Jia didn’t know that the King of Sea Beasts before her was the brother she was desperately searching for. Affected by the fierce beast’s bloodline, Chen Yun didn’t recognize his sister either.

"Ba, damn you!"

"I was just saying, Ba, being a single dog, surely couldn’t think of a good ending, and indeed it ends in tragedy..."

The preview ending Pan Yang saw showed Chen Jia recognizing her brother and choosing to quit resisting, smiling as she died under her brother’s claws.

This act awakened Chen Yun’s sealed memories, bringing him back to his senses and remembering everything.

No wonder Pan Yang broke down.

Such a melodramatic ending, no normal person could come up with it, but if it’s single dog Ba, it makes perfect sense.

"Really need a change?"

"Oh? I get what you mean!"

The person on the other side of the screen, whether it was a regular employee at Tianba Studio or Ba himself, responded quickly.

"You think Chen Jia shouldn’t die too, right? What a coincidence! I think so too, then let’s sacrifice Chen Yun, fulfilling the true protagonist Chen Jia!"

Pan Yang: "..."

Was that what he meant? And what does "true protagonist" mean?

The player-controlled character Chen Yun turns out to be a false protagonist, and the true protagonist is actually the sister Chen Jia?
