Killing Mary Sue [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

After successfully expelling the Millennium Snake Demon from the HP world, a "ding" sounded in Jane's ear, which represented the successful completion of the mission.So she got out without hesitation, and as always, left the innocuous matter of "how to erase the traces left by Miss Jane Doy" to Life Number One, and spent a few days in the virtual space leisurely. Good time to eat and die.

【Ah~ life, wonderful life】Jane raised her glass lazily and sighed,【Not only the troubles in front of me, but also the troubles in the distance~】

Life No. [-], who just came back, saw Jian Geyou paralyzed in the virtual space and didn't want to move. He just heard this doggerel full of life philosophy, and broke out in a cold sweat. ambition and indomitable——】

【Ah, a sleepy bug, a sleepy bug that can't be driven away~】Jane seems to have not heard what it said at all, and slowly enjoys the rare holiday with her eyes closed,【No one in life has died since ancient times, and the sky is the cover and the earth is the bed~】

Life No. [-], [...the task is coming]

Jane opened her eyes regretfully, with an expression of regret seeing him again, and yawned lazily, [Marvel or DC? 】

[Neither of them,] Life One replied in a low voice, [This time it's a reborn Marysu]

Jane raised her eyebrows, [I'm not from the time travel department, I don't care about the reborn]

Life No. [-], 【This... this... The reborn is actually a traverser from a parallel dimension——】

Jane, [speaking people]

Life No. [-] is serious, [Oh, no one is willing to take this task, so I leave it to you as usual]

Jane became a little interested, 【It sounds like a challenge】

Life No. [-] looked at the information, nodded, [Indeed...and this time you have a designated identity, I can't help you either]

Just get up, [talk about it]

Life No. [-] dutifully spoke, [This time, Mary Su is a reborn person who took advantage of the time gap. Her previous life was unknown, her father died young, and her mother married an alcoholic. Her grades have been in the middle and lower reaches. I work as a waiter in a restaurant, I don’t have a boyfriend, I don’t have any special skills, I don’t have any special looks, and I only have one hobby that I have persisted to this day—]

【playing games】

[Yes,] Life No. [-] cleared his throat, [This time we are going to a special world - an unrealistic holographic virtual game universe: Oasis]

Jane's eyes lit up.

[It means that I can also create characters to do hidden tasks? 】

[Of course not,] Life Number One rejected her ruthlessly, [Well...in fact, your identity is very special...]

Jane suddenly had an ominous premonition.

……

……

Leia thought it was a terrible day.It was just as unbearable as every day.

Mom and stepfather got into an argument again—no surprise there.The topic still revolves around "Leia should find a man to marry sooner", "My daughter can marry when she wants", "Then you just wait for her to die alone!"... And then there is a mess of ping-pong-pong Boom, in the hysterical screams and the vibration of the door being slammed, Leia squeezed herself under the pillow, and the damp sheets had a bad smell similar to mold, and she had to throw it away after three seconds Turning around and staring at the ceiling in boredom, I thought to myself: Why can others have a rich and happy family after rebirth, while I have nothing changed except that I have an extra life?Why is the world so unfair? A girl of her age already has a handsome boyfriend, countless cosmetics and beautiful clothes, a magnificent mansion and even the most advanced VR equipment - but look at yourself, Still so poor, and still have to endure the abuse and harassment of that dead drunk-ghost every day-go to the fucking world!It would be better to die than to live on such a day!

Leia stared at the gray night out of the window distractedly. The advertising signboard of the subway station not far away was flashing with iridescent lights, and the trailer of the new oasis after "Judgment Day" was playing, and the founder of the oasis, James Ha The faces of Liddy and Wadeworth—these two are people who have made outstanding contributions to "Oasis". One personally created this magnificent virtual game universe, while the other found Halliday's easter eggs and inherited it.For all players, they are like Jobs or Lennon, the pioneers who changed the history of mankind.Every boy dreams of becoming the second "Parsifal", and every girl envies "Artemis"—from being unknown to soaring into the sky, such a dream has never been in everyone's heart obliterated.

Leia looked at it, and the pictures in the advertising sign gradually overlapped with some memories from her previous life. She sat up suddenly, staring straight at the trailer of the new expansion pack that was about to be released, her eyes lit up instantly— —

She knows!She knew what to do to change her life-get rid of the days of poverty and misery!Yes, as a reborn person, her only advantage is that she knows a lot of unpublished information in advance, and can predict the future?If she can seize the time and know the hidden missions that have been discovered but are still kept secret in her previous life, the cheats to defeat the boss and some system bugs... the money, rights and status she desires are nothing to worry about!

Leia held hands tightly, rolled over and got out of bed without hesitation, took advantage of the time when her mother went out to buy milk, opened her door and took out the coins she had hidden under the hidden compartment on the floor, thinking to herself: I'm sorry, mother, since the house is temporarily closed If you don’t need the money, it shouldn’t be too much to buy a VR glasses by yourself, right?After all, this is the only chance for her to stand up from now on. As her biological mother, since she can have a big fight for herself and her stepfather, she will not disagree with such a trivial matter, right?

Leia clenched her hands and stared at the neon lights outside the window, a confident smile on her lips.

……

……

In 2050, the new section of "Oasis" hits hard. After a huge publicity and became a phenomenon-level national game, this game has successfully made countless players look forward to it at home. Wearing VR glasses, waiting for tonight 20:00 The last second comes.

10,9,8,7, 3,2,1, [-], [-]... Thousands of people stared at the scale intently, counting down in their hearts: [-], [-], [-]——

Seeing that the second hand was steadily pointing to "12", everyone couldn't wait to press the "Confirm" button. After a burst of brilliance, familiar music sounded in their ears as expected——

"come with me,

and you'll beinaworld

of pure imagination—”

It hasn't changed at all—everyone sighs in their hearts: it's still the theme song of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".Today's OASIS "Oasis" heir Wade Watts is well known as the hardcore fan of the founder Halliday. The new version of the game continues Halliday's consistent style. Even the background music of the login interface has not changed, but the entire game universe But more and more magnificent and dazzling, all-encompassing——

I still remember when it was first released, OASIS only had a few hundred planets to explore, all touched by GSS programmers and artists.Planetary environments vary, from a world of sword and sorcery, to mega-planetary cities with a cyberpunk theme, to sewers full of radiation-mutated zombies.Artificial intelligence NPCs are all over the planets, fully interacting with players.Even World of Warcraft is reproduced in Oasis, you can choose to log in to Noras or Azeroth, and the same is true for other virtual worlds, not just virtual reality and the matrix in The Matrix.You can even see the Firefly universe right next to the Star Wars universe, the Star Trek world not far behind Star Wars, Middle Earth, Vulcan, Bonn, Arrakis , ring world... one crystal wall system after another, one plane after another, and one world after another.For differentiation and ease of navigation, Oasis divides them into 27 square divisions, each containing hundreds of different planets—or planes, whatever you want to call them.

The content added in the latest version of "Oasis" is more and more able to resonate with players, even opening up the Valoran continent in the League of Legends game, the Hanamura and Anubis Temple of Overwatch, the military base of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Silent Hill restricted area and so on.In addition to these newly developed areas, Wadeworth also spoke publicly, stating that every corner of the "Oasis", and even every NPC, may have hidden missions, which can only be triggered by discerning players or lucky people. The clue opens the mission scroll, and he promises that each mission will get extremely rich rewards——

At this moment, the players all over the world are excited, and everyone can't wait to dive into the new field to explore the undiscovered treasures and secrets, day after day, fascinated.Of course, some people's efforts are not in vain. Whenever the world news announces that a certain player has successfully completed a certain hidden task or defeated the boss, the ID displayed on the public screen will undoubtedly become the focus of the topic from now on, and it will become the one that some guilds will grab first. Hot people——

One day in 2050, when the fireworks exploded in the sky and the familiar ID "MarySue" appeared on the world news screen again, everyone looked up and watched for a while, curiously gossip about each other's identity as usual, and sighed——

"Sure enough, it's her again... To be honest, I'm not surprised at all."

"That's right. How many missions is this? If I'm not mistaken... the fifth one?"

"It's really lucky. Connecting five hidden missions at the legendary level is almost like opening and closing."

"However, 'cheats' are not allowed in the Oasis. What's more, if they really are cheats, this person will probably choose to hide his ID. Who would provoke GameMaster so blatantly—besides, once someone is caught If you find out that you are using bugs to make money, you will be permanently banned, and you will not be able to re-enter the game in this life."

"So there really are great gods in the world," said enviously, "Maybe this 'MarySue' is the second Parsifal?"

"Just kidding, people had memorized Halliday's "Annarick's Almanac" back then, so they could find clues from every hidden detail. This game has no real skills and can only be eaten to death—no That said, I'm going to look through "The Biography of Wadeworth" again, see you tomorrow."

The friend went offline with a bang, and the player who was left behind looked at the "MarySue" scrolling on the screen, flashed the notifications of various organizations offering rewards for this player, and murmured in amazement, "It's amazing, I really want to Know how she did it..."

……

Leia has been having a great time of late.

Leaving aside the troubles in reality, she has undoubtedly achieved great success in the game - she did not waste this chance of rebirth, she used the information she obtained from the "oasis" in her previous life, and took advantage of the fact that she had opened up hidden missions in her previous life. However, the well-known player has not yet discovered the time difference of the key clue, so he found the NPC in charge of the mission in advance and had a conversation with them.Every line and answer comes from the strategy that has been made public in the previous life, and it turns out that those strategies are effective. She successfully completed five legendary-level missions through this, not only got countless gold coins and artifacts, but also Become the most valuable and topical number one player in "Oasis".

Every day, she can receive countless greetings and invitations from other organizations, and some people even question whether she has an ulterior relationship with Wadeworth, whether she is an insider of the company, etc. - Leia disdains this With a glance, he didn't even bother to pay attention to these ulterior motives.She is now devoting herself to the game, racking her brains every day to recall what unopened missions and easter eggs existed in this time period of her previous life. As long as she obtains the mission scroll before others, and accumulates enough capital and Fame, she doesn't need any support, she can build an organization by herself, and become the unrivaled number one female player in "Oasis"——

With hope for a better future, Leia closes her eyes and falls into a sweet dream amidst her mother and stepfather's increasingly heated argument.

At the same time, a new character appeared on the oasis continent.Interestingly, this mysterious person is neither a real player nor a professional hunter hired by the organization.No one knows her real name and origin, and the few players who have seen her in the entire "Oasis" are all due to luck. Everyone only knows that this mysterious man with black hair and gray eyes once called himself "J" - yes no Wrong, with the opening of the new section, countless intelligent NPCs will come, and it is obvious that J is the most famous and controversial one among them——

Unlike other NPCs who are devoted to their duties and never leave their posts, J is the first NPC discovered by everyone to like to run around the world. He is just like a wandering traveler, elusive and unpredictable. She's all about luck.But it doesn't stop there: Players found that besides the weird setting, this smart NPC is very naughty, has a very vicious mouth, has a bad temper, and likes to tease pretty girls at the slightest disagreement—yes, female NPCs are keen on dressing up. The fashionable and good-looking players wink and whistle, but turn a blind eye to the handsome men who come up to try to strike up a conversation. Sexism is well known.

But this alone is not enough to make J frequent forum hotspots: Although everyone knows that the lethality of this NPC is comparable to that of the Panda Burning Incense back then, some people have discovered a strange thing, players can always spray the venom from her to themselves Get some precious quest clues, and smart people will find traces of quests and easter eggs if they follow this clue to the end. The "Oasis" forum even set up a separate board just for her. The top post is the real-time coordinates of the high-priced reward J, and it will be valid forever.

Every day, many people ask for J's geographical location on the World Channel, and every day on the forum, you can see players complaining + complaining + feeling + worshiping J - they even started to discuss whether this NPC failed to be cleared Program virus, otherwise, how do you explain that a smart NPC is able to spray 1V5 like a stream, so that players doubt their lives?

Those players on the forum who had the misfortune to encounter J and failed to touch porcelain even invented a code word to greet each other tacitly: Are you still being sprayed with short-circuited wires today? --Yes. ——That's good, the mission is not yet successful, so let's work harder!

And on the other side, no matter how enthusiastically the players gossip about the two most topical characters recently: MarySue and J, the former is still fighting for a beautiful dream, and the latter...

[It's fine if you can't play the game, but this time you still have to be played? 】Jian who just learned that she is an NPC looked at Life No. [-] with a half-smile and crossed arms, 【And there is not even an entity, how can I enjoy the joy of 'snapping Mary Su Biu and disappearing'? 】

Life No. [-] touched his nose with a guilty conscience, 【This... this... We are not from the time travel department. This time, we will accept the task of the rebirth department. Naturally, some rights will be restricted. They have tried their best to help you get the best treatment... ...]

Jane raised her eyebrows, [So this time, you let me, as an intelligent NPC, go to the players in reality?Do you know what is called 'customer is God'? 】

Life No. [-] spoke eloquently, [Of course not—unless that player cheats]

This sentence hit the point, Jane thought for a while, then suddenly asked, 【Why must it be 'Oasis'?There are countless people cheating every day in this world, aren't you used to it? 】

Life No. [-] was silent for a few seconds.

[Not just Oasis,] its voice is a little muffled, [but all, all games]

After a pause, Jane instantly understood what it meant.

The significance of the game lies in the friends you know and participate in together, the memories that exist in your youth, and the blood of laughter and tears.For countless people, this is not just a game, but a microcosm of real life, a sanctuary, a place of refuge, a piece of paradise, and an oasis.A person who really loves the game will never allow someone to break the rules for his own benefit. What it breaks is not only the balance and justice, but also the perseverance and good expectations in the hearts of countless players.

Especially the easter eggs that Halliday left for the players, the legendary stories that happened to Wadeworth, and their common hopes for the oasis and the changes they made all prove this point: "This is 'tjustagame. Playisplay, notforwin."

[I still remember that I also loved playing games when I was a child,] Life No. [-] muttered, [But do you know how many classic games that cost countless people's efforts were ruined by 'plug-ins' and competition?In the end, it even disappeared in childhood memories]

Life No. [-] sniffled, [I lied to you, in fact, this is not a task that no one will accept, I just want to see you complete it with my own eyes, so that it can be regarded as an end to the past that I have been brooding on... I'm sorry]

Jane stared at it for a while, then suddenly smiled.

【It's good to have said that earlier, I won't blame you for such a trivial matter, on the contrary, I'm really interested in this task】

Life No. [-]'s eyes lit up, 【You mean...】

Jane raised her eyebrows and smiled.

【Those Mary Sue took from others... I will let her multiply, double, give, and return】

The author has something to say: the number one player has more votes, so I will write this first, and Twilight will move to the next article.

PS: JJ does not allow the plot of the same humanities to overlap with the plot of the original work, so the plot time of this article takes place after the end of the movie.It's a whole new story.
