Cthulhu Corrosion: Another World Rescue Plan

"Then I want ice cream and milk tea, plus three balls!" The hidden old man whispered and tugged at Sea of ​​Tranquility's clothes.

"A cup of ice cream milk tea with three balls, less sugar; a cup of coconut milk thick lychee pop, less sugar." Tranquility Sea placed the order calmly.

Magic Chef Xiao Douya took the order and returned to the counter, like a kitten returning to its familiar nest, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Sea of ​​Tranquility They chose a four-seat outdoor table in front of the dining car and talked about the topic again.

"I saw you looking troubled before. What difficulties did you encounter?"

He drank a glass of gin and sighed longly: "It was only after I came here that I learned that a god-level tailor can not only design and sew, but must also be able to use forging materials such as mithril to make silk threads. In other words, I You have to become a blacksmith first.”

She raised her right hand and tried hard to stretch the non-existent muscles: "And I have been making clothes almost since I entered the game, and the values ​​​​on the panel are completely substandard! No, it cannot be said to be substandard, I should say two The numbers are so different!”

"...The alchemy doll doesn't work? Wait a minute, you are already an alchemy doll...?" The hidden old man suddenly reacted.

"Yes, I spent 188 to carefully shape this body," he said bitterly after a glass of gin. "If I want to change the value, I have to spend another 188, and more importantly, if I add Muscles, I can't have such a small and cute doll-like appearance... I will probably become a King Kong Barbie...

I don’t want to spend any more money to change the character I worked so hard to create into something I don’t like! Even if it’s for upgrades and panel values! "

Everyone fell into strange silence.

Tranquility Sea scratched his head: "That's... really difficult to handle."

"Wait a minute, if you don't change the appearance but want to change the panel value..." The hidden old man patted the table excitedly, "You can upgrade to a cyber combat doll! Just pay the price difference. You don't need to change the appearance, but Add a power device to the body to increase propulsion and support...

feasible! Totally doable!

You have already bought a doll, and you only need to pay the price difference of 200 to upgrade the combat doll. However, you can make various internal upgrades while retaining the appearance of the original body. This is much more cost-effective than buying another 188! "

Have a glass of gin: "Can it still be like this?! It can still be like this!!"

She slumped down on the chair, and soon turned into a white light. She had obviously gone offline to buy the new cyber battle doll in the mall.

Sea of ​​Tranquility: "This mobility! It's a little too fast!"

Zhuoqiuqiu, who was carrying drinks and serving food, said blankly: "Ah? Why is the gin offline? What about this cup of brown sugar bobo...?"

Even though she had encountered all kinds of strange customers in the process of opening a milk tea shop, this was the first time she encountered this kind of customer who went offline in seconds before taking an order. She only worried for a second before buying the cup of milk tea. Put it in your game backpack.

"Fortunately, I have a game backpack, so I can drink it anytime." She placed the other two drinks in front of the Sea of ​​Tranquility and the Hidden Old Man, and sat down on the empty seat on the other side. "Speaking of which, Captain, Haizi Brother, when are you going to publish the solo version?”

The hidden old man held the ice cream and milk tea and froze for a second strangely.

"...Captain, you're not so obsessed with cyberdolls that you've completely forgotten about this, right?"

"I forgot, but I haven't forgotten." The hidden old man lowered his head and sipped his ice cream and milk tea, "It's just that I feel like I'm not mentally prepared yet.

Every time I think about Drake, who has been separated from his family for a generation, I feel like something is quietly broken.

To be honest, I don’t know how to overcome the single-player game now, and I don’t know if I can respond to Drake’s expectations and achieve a different ending.

Although I am a social phobia, I also like the single-player gameplay in this game, but now that I have played with everyone, I have truly felt the importance of companions. "

He paused, put down the cup, and said seriously: "A person's power has its limits anyway. People like me, who are socially anxious and unable to interact with others normally most of the time, need reliable companions who can speak up for me. .

I don't know magic mechanical technology, alchemy... nor can I make clothes or mechanisms. But after I proposed the development of cyber alchemy dolls, many players and NPCs lent me a helping hand.

It is when everyone's strength comes together that we can accomplish feats that can impact the world!

...Although I know that in the final analysis, all this is a program developed by the production team - I don't even know if the production team has already completed this project before, just waiting for a player to trigger it, or that it was completed overtime after I proposed it. new changes - but whether it is in the game or outside the game, this is something that requires the joint efforts of many people to complete.

But isn’t this the charm of online games?

Games connect everyone from all over the world. We have different purposes, different tastes, preferences and ways of doing things, but we come together with curiosity and love for the same game, and work together to complete it. The same mission, even for me as a social fear, this is a very beautiful thing. "

His eyes gradually became empty: "But being alone is different. That is Drake's fate, his past and future. I have no confidence that I can make a more appropriate decision in his body and in his situation. choice.”

Niqiuqiu opened his mouth wide: "Wow, Captain, I think you just said something amazing!"

Tranquility Sea patted his shoulder: "In fact, it's okay not to make the best and most appropriate choice, right?"

Hidden Old Man: "?"

"Sometimes I wonder if we care too much about "doing the best." "Tranquility Sea grinned, "Although people only live once, if they experience things that make them unhappy, or know that there are better options but don't choose, they will leave regrets, but sometimes, regrets themselves are also part of life!

Everyone's life is different, even if we face the same problem , but there is no need to write down the "best answer" against one's will. Drake wants us to follow his path, just to see what kind of answer we will give.

In this case, doing it in our own style and choosing according to our own heart is the most respectful way to respect him.

So, just be yourself. "

"What if we make the wrong choice and can't pass the level?"

"Then haven't we successfully eliminated the wrong options and passed the torch of victory to the next player in the future?" "The Sea of ​​Tranquility smiled: "This is indeed a single-player game, but we are still playing a multiplayer online game! Each of us players is not fighting alone. "
