Sea King's Self-cultivation

Her eyes stayed on the last line of black words for a long time.

Xingxing gently closed the diary.

Already... there is no need to read any more.

Things are already clear.

She gently wiped the dusty diary cover with her hands.

He silently looked at the girl he liked, but chose to distance himself for her safety. Even when his life was counting down, he could not choose to confess. Instead, he said hurtful words against his will, allowing himself to push her further and further away... ...Swallowing the truth like a fishbone, what was he thinking when he wrote these words with a pen?

Maybe, every day with her in the past, and every day without him in the future.

Xingxing's eyes shifted to Sawada Tsunayoshi's personal attribute panel again.

In the past, only "favorability" was dimmed, but now, except for favorability, all attribute bars are dimmed.

Including the "Life Value" column.

Xingxing stared at the small, dim progress bar for a long time.

She cut out the game and posted a post on the game forum.

[Help: Do you know how to revive the game character "Sawada Tsunayoshi" in the third dungeon "Gangster Storm"? 】

There was a reply soon under the post for help.

[Who is Sawada Tsunayoshi?never heard of that. 】

[The landlord's game is progressing so fast!It's only been a few days to brush up to the third copy! 】

【Kokichi Sawada? Is there such a strategy character in "Gangster"?Is the initial landing location chosen by the landlord to be Japan or Italy? 】

Xingxing replied: [My initial landing place is Naimori Town, Japan. 】

[Namori Town, Japan?Is there no initial landing site?The third copy has two initial landing locations. If you choose "Japan Map", the initial landing location is "Yokohama". If you choose "Italy", the initial landing location is "Naples"... Where is Namori Town? 】

[The game the host is playing seems to be a little different from mine... wait~ let me go to the third copy of Kangkang~]

【I also go to Kangkang~】

……

Not long after, the player who went to the third copy to have a look came back.

[I found Nishimori Town, it seems to be a small town in the "Map of Japan".I went to have a look, and there really is the character "Sawada Tsunayoshi", but it's very strange, why did the "aura of capture" on him fade away?Does this mean invincible? 】

[I took a look, and "Bingsheng Town" doesn't seem to be in the strategy map of the game. Is there a bug in the original game?Do you want to report it to the programmer brother? 】

……

After a burst of chatter, some informed players came up to bubble up.

[I used to work in the production team of Daydream, and participated in the research and development of the No. [-] dungeon "Gangster Wind and Cloud", so I may know some inside information... Well, in the No. ", "Sawada Tsunayoshi" was originally the main strategy character on the "Italy Map". 】

【However, we later discovered that there seemed to be some bugs in this game character during the production process. In any case, there was no way to continue to operate according to the normal design of the game route. Set the protagonist as "Bran Jesso". 】

[Because of this, there is no way to eliminate the already made "Aura of Raidability" and "Progress Bar of Favorability", so we have to let it be grayed out. 】

Xingxing said eagerly: [Then do you know how to bring "Sawada Tsunayoshi" back to life?I haven't been able to find a strategy guide for this plot, and I don't know which option or wrong move caused BE. 】

The former production team member asked strangely: [Why do you want to revive "Sawada Tsunayoshi"?He is just a passerby NPC now.In the original plot setting, he was the sole heir of the Vongola family, the largest mafia in Italy, but now this strategy role has been abolished, because he did not want to hinder the follow-up plot, so Sawada Tsunayoshi died in the Vongola family The civil strife is a "plot killing" deliberately arranged by the production team, and their family will die no matter what. 】

[If the player lands on the "Italy map" according to the normal process, he will meet the strategy character Bailan Jesso on the university campus, and then start a love route. At that time, the Pengelie family will lose the only direct heir and cannot ignite the ring The flames will eventually go downhill slowly and become a second-rate family... Anyway, during the player's game, the Pengoli family and Sawada Tsunayoshi should both belong to the "background board" column, and belong to the group that will explain the history of the mafia's development. By the way, the existence. 】

[You may have just encountered an error in the game program, so you will be brought into the love route originally set for "Sawada Tsunayoshi"... But this is not a big problem, you submit the error to the programmer on the client side Brother, you should be able to fix this BUG for you soon. 】

[...Fix this BUG? 】Xing Xing murmured, 【What does this mean? 】

[It is to erase the plot that should not have existed, and then reset your initial landing location. 】

【Then will I meet Tsunayoshi Sawada again? 】

[What are you talking about, of course not. 】

of course not.

She is a player outside the game, and he is just an abandoned, wrong program in the game, which will be repaired by the programmer sooner or later.

and then?

Then everything went back to where it was, as if nothing had happened.She didn't hand him a handkerchief when they first met, and she didn't accept the cute and small butterfly hairpin he sent at the fireworks display, and she didn't see the diary he left at the end of his life.

That... diary with writing so deep that it penetrates the back of the paper.

For Xingxing, this is just a wrong and wonderful game journey, but for him, it is a real life.How small is the chance for such a big bug to appear in the game that has always been running smoothly, and how small is the chance for her to be selected by this mistake.

If only she had ever briefly witnessed his presence, now...

Want to fix this bug?

Even if everything started, it was just a game program error.

Xingxing turned off the computer, she leaned on the seat a little tiredly, staring at the golden ginkgo leaves fluttering in the wind outside the window in a daze.

She didn't know what she was doing... Obviously, it was just a game character?

Daydream's otome game "Love and God" is different from other games in that it does not support the save function.When the server was first launched, many players tore the production team hard over this issue, but the production team leader was extremely determined and refused to give in.

[Our purpose of making this game is to hope that players can experience the true taste of love and life as in reality.Since we want to pursue truth as much as we can, the opposite of illusion is that everyone has only one life.If everyone's life can go back to the past repeatedly and make countless different choices, then what is the difference between this and a game?So every choice you make at the fork of fate is very important, because no one can do it all over again. 】

【Life is like chess, no regrets when you make a move. 】

Although the production team was scolded by the players after the speech was published, more players seemed to be able to vaguely feel some of the thoughts that this game wanted to convey, so the turmoil finally subsided, and gradually the players I'm also used to the rule that "Love and the Male God" cannot be loaded and restarted.

In other words, every strategy may be the last.

Thinking of this, Xingxing felt bald again.

Unable to reload the file, how can she bring the dead Tsunayoshi Sawada back to life!

A few days passed by, Xingxing didn't even get excited about the holidays, and her parents were a little worried about whether she encountered some insurmountable setbacks and difficulties in school, but Xingxing's grades did not drop, and her popularity remained the same as before. Well, it really doesn't look like I've been hit by anything.

In the end, it was the older brother Kazuki Shimizu who pointedly hit the core of the problem: "Can't you pass the game?"

"Yeah." Xingxing responded sullenly, "I want to reload the file again, but the settings of this game cannot be reloaded..."

Shimizu Kazuki glanced at her: "How many times have I told you to stop playing that game, and even playing a game makes yourself depressed, what are you trying to do?"

Xingxing hugged herself pitifully and wept: "Don't scold me, don't scold me, I'm already miserable..."

Shimizu Kazuki ignored her and turned back to the room.

A day later, the slightly green Shimizu Kazuki gave Xingxing a surprise.

"Cheater?!"

"Well, it's a cheating device that can be read and restarted." Kazuki Shimizu obviously lacked sleep, he said lazily, "I wrote it overnight, please be grateful to Dade."

Although she also knew that her brother was a top student in the Department of Computer Science, but was he so awesome? ! Daydream's game has never been cracked and cheated by anyone!

Not to mention that he only used it for one night!

Xingxing happily hugged the computer and ran back to the room: "Brother, you are so kind, love you so much!"

Shimizu Kazuki said leisurely: "I just don't want to see you crying, my parents will think I'm bullying you..."

Xing Xing doesn't care about these things, she turns on the computer, gears up, and is eager to try, ready to start her own "Sawada Tsunayoshi Rescue Plan"!

Before starting, Xingxing remembered the last reminder from her brother Shimizu Kazuki.

"The cheating device has a limit on the number of times. The program I wrote can only be read and restarted a hundred times at most. After a hundred times, the program will automatically fail, so seize the opportunity."

Xingxing: You underestimate me!This is a hundred chances!A hundred times!Even if I step on all the pits, I will definitely find the right way to save him in the end!

Xingxing started with confidence.

Sawada Tsunayoshi will die because he met the killer sent by the Vongola infighting forces far away in Italy, so as long as he avoids at that point in time, then neither he nor Nana's mother will die.

Based on this logic, when reading the file for the first time, she followed the original route to lend a helping hand to Tsunayoshi Sawada, who was bullied by school violence, and the two became friends smoothly.Based on the information revealed in Sawada Tsunayoshi's diary, Xing Xing calculated the time of the killer's arrival, and estimated that it would be about a few days. Xing Xing, who successfully established a friendly relationship with Nana's mother, suggested that everyone travel abroad together.She hoped to help them avoid this dangerous moment, and tell them the truth after the limelight calmed down a bit, before making another plan.

Nana's mother has always been gentle, almost as soon as Xing Xing proposed to go on a trip, she happily agreed.Xing Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and decided on Iceland as her travel destination. She chose a ship with a large passenger flow and was not easy to be tracked as a means of transportation, and boarded the ship in calm weather.

... As a result, in the middle of the trip, he was killed by the killer.

Not only failed to save Sawada Tsunayoshi's family, but even put his own life in it.

It seems that this way does not work.

There was no other way, Xingxing had no choice but to load the file again and start over.

After reloading the file for the second time, she still chose the old path to become friends with Sawada Tsunayoshi. After confirming that she had gained enough trust, Xingxing met with Sawada Tsunayoshi and Nana solemnly on a sunny afternoon. Mom told about the identity of the heir of the Tsunayoshi Sawada Mafia, and said that a killer would come to kill him soon, so let's run away while we still have the chance!

At first, they thought she was joking. After all, whether she was the heir of the mafia or could go back to the past and start her life again, it was too ridiculous, but seeing her serious attitude, they couldn't help but believe her.

It's just that leaving Japan is a very serious matter, and it's impossible to draw a conclusion based on her few words.

So Nana's mother said that she needs to make a phone call to ask her husband whether her son is really the heir of the mafia family as Xingxing said.

But it was this phone call that revealed everything.

The leader of the Ninth Generation passed away, and the already fierce internal struggle within Pengo Lie had already reached a stage of fierceness in the dark. Sawada Tsunayoshi’s father’s mobile phone was also installed with a monitoring program, so what Nana’s mother said was verbatim. in the ear.

This time, the date of extermination was earlier than the original date, and it seemed that he did not intend to give Tsunayoshi Sawada a chance to make a comeback.

Together with Xingxing, the "girl who can travel through time and space", they were also killed together.

Xingxing looked at the blacked out computer screen and let out a long sigh.

Come again!

The third time I read the file, Xing Xing did not choose to become friends with Sawada Tsunayoshi first, but first called Sawada Tsunayoshi’s father, asking him to send more men to Japan to protect his wife and son.Sawada Tsunayoshi's father believed her words, but he never expected that the subordinates he sent to protect his wife and children had been infiltrated by the enemy, and the other party took this opportunity to kill Sawada Tsunayoshi and Nana's mother.

The third file load failed again.

Failed for the fourth time.

Fifth failure.

Failed for the sixth time.

……

No.90 nine times...failed.

Xingxing spent all her time during the holidays on saving files, reading files, going through the plot, trying to break the game, day and night, her work and rest were upside down, and she even went to game forums to ask for ideas and ideas from many players, but no matter what she did, even if she Even if he made completely opposite choices twice, the Tsunayoshi Sawada family would still die.

It's almost like... the game bugs using cheats are being hunted down by the original game program.

There is only one last chance left.

Xingxing stared at the computer screen dully, overwhelmed by waves of powerlessness.

It was as if... no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't save Tsunayoshi Sawada.

What she wants to overcome is not the plot or the killer, but the logic that supports the calculation of the entire game world.

How can this be done...

Xingxing was dejected, and even her hair was wilted.

She mechanically followed the fully skilled operation to read the file for the last time. Just halfway through the action, a small light bulb suddenly appeared on Xingxing's clever little brain!

In the previous 99 file readings, her focus was all around Tsunayoshi Sawada, hoping to find a way out from him or the people around him, but all of them failed...

So, why didn't she simply find a way to break the situation from herself?

Xingxing turned on the cheating device.

She wants to modify her initial identity setting.

Originally, her initial identity was set to be an orphan girl whose parents died in Naimori Town, Japan, but this time, through the cheat device provided by Kazuki Shimizu, she changed her initial identity to that of a black hand who was trained in Pengo Lie since childhood. Party intelligence member.

Xingxing thought about it carefully, the reason for her previous failures was certainly due to the fact that the strength gap between the two parties was too large, but more, it was actually because the information of the two parties was completely unequal.

She cannot grasp the other party's information in time, so after the plot changes, she will not know whether the killer will come, nor when they will come, let alone what clues the other party used during their escape, and how to grasp it. their news.

Xingxing has been lurking in the Vongola family for a long time. Although she can't become an important figure immediately, she believes that with the information she has, it is completely feasible to save Sawada Tsunayoshi and Nana's mother!

When the time was right, Xing Xing was dispatched to Japan to collect intelligence by Peng Lie, and she came to Bingsheng town smoothly.

She planned to follow the original route, first find a way to become friends with Sawada Tsunayoshi, and then help him escape from danger.

This time I will definitely succeed!

Xingxing clenched her fists excitedly.

Although in the eyes of Sawada Tsunayoshi this week, they are strangers who met for the first time, but in Xingxing's eyes, he is a companion who has tortured her for a whole hundred weeks and died together many times!

She happily went to Bingsheng Middle School in the name of transferring school. On the first day of school, she saw the figure of Sawada Tsunayoshi from a long distance. She missed it for a long time. Xingxing happily ran over to say hello, and her voice was still Without exiting, he saw him walking into the school side by side with another beautiful and gentle girl, and he didn't even look at her.

In that girl's hair was the white butterfly hairpin that Zhou Mu once gave Xing Xing.

The voice of greeting stopped at the moment of blurting out, Xing Xing slowly put down her excitedly waving hand, and stayed where she was.

The way he talked and laughed with that girl was Xingxing's all-too-familiar look... that was the way he used to talk to her and smile at her.

That's how he looks when he faces the girl he likes.

This is what Xingxing learned later. She was collecting information at Pengo Li's headquarters and failed to meet Sawada Tsunayoshi in time.So in fate, on the day when Shimizu Anko was supposed to meet Sawada Tsunayoshi, it was that girl who worriedly handed over the key handkerchief to Sawada Tsunayoshi who was bullied by the school.

Of course she didn't deliberately take Xingxing's position.

She didn't even know Xingxing existed.

Maybe this is the consequence of using a cheating device. When she tried to reverse time and change the established track of fate, when she secretly rejoiced that she could finally change his fate, when she reincarnated again and again...

There are also people who, in her vacant position, filled the trajectory of fate that originally belonged to her.
