This Game Is Too Realistic

City of Triumph.

The steps of the Glory Academy are dotted with sparks of fire, which are the torches in the hands of the citizens of Triumph City.

From the threat of the Death Agent (Celestial Being), the residents of the Valant Alliance have weathered all crises.

Now that the Alliance and the major survivor forces have jointly announced the end of the Wasteland Era, the Battlefield Atmosphere Team has finally waited for the opportunity for the residents of Triumph City to confess everything.

From the battle in Fallen Leaf Valley to riding alone in Luoxia Province for thousands of miles, to being ordered to do something in danger at Xifan Port and being involved in a power struggle and going to jail, he told all the experiences along the way. .

Including that he is a resident of Vault 404, including that he initially joined the Legion to gather information, including that he was later moved by the other side of the Velant people, including what he decided to do to help those around him and all those in the past. Trapped people...

Except for the part about games and players, he told almost everything he could honestly say... Even if he didn't say anything, no one would blame him or question him.

But thinking about everything that happened after Marshal Julius left, he thought about it for a moment and finally chose to face those who supported him frankly.

Some things can be left to time, but if some things are not completed today, they are destined to become historical regrets.

It was beyond the expectations of the battlefield atmosphere team.

After listening to his statement, the Wilant man standing at the steps of the Hall of Glory was calmer than he imagined.

Including Colway

Including Penny, her relative Captain Benoit, etc... those civil servants who supported his rise to power.

Maybe——

They might have guessed it a long time ago.

The other warlords didn't know, but Benoit might have guessed a little bit.

However, at that time, Triumph City needed the help of the alliance, and there was really no one in the entire Triumph City who could stand up and carry the banner, so everyone who knew about it turned a blind eye and ignored these unimportant things. Details.

Politics itself is the art of compromise.

At least for the civil servants who represent the citizens of Triumph City, it doesn't matter whether the regime's army or the alliance of Wilantes exists in the province of Wilante.

The important thing is whose interests it represents, who it speaks for, and who it protects.

That guy may not be a skilled archon, but he does take those who support him into consideration.

This experience is enough.

In the shadow of the side hall.

Looking at the pangolin standing on the steps, Captain Benoit was silent for a long time and sighed softly.

"...He is an honest young man, but unfortunately he is not a mature politician."

Penny's expression was much more complicated, ranging from shock and astonishment to sadness and sadness, as well as confusion and many things that she couldn't explain clearly.

Although she had actually noticed something about him before, especially after learning that he was from the River Valley Province...

But she convinced herself every time, and finally buried her doubts deep in her heart.

However, what she didn't expect was that he would provoke all of this himself...

"...Why would he lie?" Penny's eyes were filled with confusion, and she felt as if the filter in her heart was broken.

Benoit glanced at his daughter, sighed softly, and rarely stood in the position of a "pangolin".

"Although it may be difficult for you to accept what I say, from my point of view, his behavior can actually be called honest... He just selectively retains part of the truth sometimes."

"But why?" Penny looked at her mother incomprehensibly, her eyes filled with sorrow, "Can't he... just be honest about everything from the beginning and explain things clearly to us?"

Benoit was silent for a while and then spoke.

"I ask you in turn, if he hadn't done this, would you still have stood unswervingly with him in Xifan Port and Tiandu?"

Penny stared blankly at Kiss, speechless for a moment.

She wanted to say the word "yes" without hesitation, but found that she was not as determined as she thought.

Looking at Penny, whose eyes were filled with confusion, Benoit's eyes suddenly showed a bit of approval and kindness.

He reached out and touched his daughter's hair, feeling like a close relative - not a minister.

"When you start to hesitate, you have started to examine your own heart...instead of being like other young people who are not deeply involved in the world and just blindly regard chasing progress as a fashion."

"People always hope that others will treat them without reservation, but few are willing to face their hearts honestly. We all know that as human beings, we are not the kind of perfect people, so why bother forcing others to be ourselves? Someone who can’t even become one?”

"I'm not trying to say how glorious his behavior was. Maybe, as you said, he actually had a better choice or could have done worse, but that kind of thing only exists in our imagination after all."

"At least from a structural point of view, he has never used your trust to do anything to make you feel sorry for you, nor has he ever felt sorry for the people who supported him, even when he had many difficulties of his own... regardless of his deeds or his heart, I think this is enough, even if I am in the same position, I cannot do better than him."

"I think... most of the people in this settlement think so too. And the wall that belongs to him will also be left on the mural of Glorious Academy."

When everyone longs for a perfect saint, what they end up with is a smooth-talking liar.

Only liars can fulfill all the wishes in people's hearts... no matter how contradictory, twisted and unreasonable it sounds.

In fact, Tyr is such an existence.

He described an era in which Valantians were omnipotent, and those who supported him promised that as long as they followed him, such an era would definitely come.

Eventually he took everyone to hell.

So at the end, with his dream shattered, he unabashedly showed his twisted and ugly spirit, and not only wanted to destroy everything in the Southern Legion, but also wanted to wipe out the Wilantes themselves from the world.

It is difficult to say that he was bewitched by heavenly beings.

After all, that is not the obsession of one or two people at all, but the entire Southern Legion.

Penny lowered her head with a complicated expression, her heart was full of mixed feelings, and she was speechless for a moment, as if she was hesitating about something.

Benoit didn't speak anymore and just cast his gaze on the steps in the distance.

He suddenly realized that his daughter had grown up and was no longer the girl who knew nothing.

She should live her own life.

He silently made up his mind that no matter what decision she made, he would respect her choice...

…

The speech has come to an end.

As Pangolin said at the beginning, this was his last speech.

"...My mission is over. The road ahead will be walked by you, and only by you."

"Hold the reins in your hands, don't give it to anyone, always hold it in your own hands. Be true to yourself, be true to your family and friends, be true to the people you love...ask yourself before doing anything , whether you are worthy of them or not, this is the noblest loyalty.”

"As for me—"

"I will return to the place where I fought."

The warlord bowed deeply, then walked down from the high platform and merged with the crowd holding torches.

From now on, he will no longer serve as the governor of the Valant Alliance, but an ordinary resident of Vault 404.

He had done enough work to deal with the aftermath before this, and even spent the past half-hour preparing for this matter.

After he steps down, the Civil Service Corps will start the selection process, select the next consul, accept people's supervision, and lead the survivors living in this province to continue to move forward in the era...

People consciously moved out of the way, nodded to him, shook hands with him, and even saluted.

The Battlefield Atmosphere team responded with a smile to the show of respect.

The play was finally over, and it ended at the most appropriate moment.

After all, he is not a professional politician, and he does not have as much management experience as a manager. If he continues to serve as a consul, he will definitely mess up. It is better to give it to a truly talented expert after the end of the Wasteland Era. .

With the help of the Praetorian Guards and the Civil Service Corps, he improved the selection mechanism, terms of reference and accountability mechanism for the position of consul he created, and institutionalized the existing political factions, turning the original black box into a A relatively transparent box... This was the only thing he could do in the end.

As for the rest, it is left to history to evaluate Tuo.

In the end, he didn't let anyone down and became himself again after confessing everything.

He only felt an unprecedented sense of relief in his heart. This long-awaited day was finally here!

He was an undercover agent who worked from the bottom to the boss position, and in the end he was able to escape with a lot of praise——

If this manager doesn't call him "the best player in the history of the league", I'm afraid it will end in disaster.

People standing at the steps of Glorious Academy watched him leave.

People watched with reluctance as he got into the black car parked on the roadside, and did not leave for a long time until the car lights disappeared at the end of the road...

Today is destined to be a sleepless night.

This is true for everyone in this city...

…

Return to the palace where you are staying.

The warlord simply packed his luggage and planned to set off back to the alliance.

His work there has been completed and he has received high praise from managers.

It is said that a new version of the game will be released after the public beta, and all maps and line content will be released at that time.

In order not to be left behind by other players, he should also spend some time leveling up and catch up with the progress he had fallen behind before.

"This set of power armor...is still left to the locals."

Looking at the set of gold-painted power armor, the warlord felt a little reluctant to part with it, but in the end he decided to keep it here.

Although Julius had already given it to him, after all, these things contained the feelings of many Wilant people, and they were no longer the private property of any one person.

Perhaps he was too deep into the game and had too strong a sense of representation. He really couldn't treat the people here as pure NPCs.

In his mind, they have long been his comrades-in-arms, comrades, and even relatives who are not related by blood...

"...Forget it, I've already received my mission reward anyway." Looking at the set of golden powered armor, the battlefield atmosphere team muttered, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He believed that the soul of Marshal Julius in heaven was watching and would be pleased with his choice at this moment.

What’s harder than picking up is putting it down.

The golden armor glowed faintly under the light, as if he recognized his choice.

At this time, there were light footsteps outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.

"Can I come in?"

That was Penny's voice.

Although they didn’t know how to face that face, the battlefield atmosphere team finally said “come in”.

The door creaked open.

Penny stood in the doorway.

She was wearing a long skirt with sloping shoulders, and the slightly slit hem extended all the way to her knees.

The smooth brown hair is draped over her shoulders, and the tips of her hair outline bold curves, like a squirrel tail falling from the treetops.

Different from her usual simple and capable appearance, after being carefully dressed up, she is like a public servant in casual clothes in a stage play, acting vigorously but not calmly and elegantly.

Staring straight at those sapphire-like eyes, the battlefield atmosphere team didn't know where to put their eyes for a moment, and their eyes suddenly fell on the suitcase in her hand.

"...Where are you going?"

He kept talking for a while, but Penny who spoke to him seemed to be prepared.

She glanced at the suitcase spread out on the floor and slightly raised the corners of her lips, which were covered with lip gloss.

"Wherever you go, I will go."

Perhaps because he resigned, the battlefield atmosphere team was no longer as calm as when they were standing on the high platform, and he coughed hastily.

"Don't make trouble, your dear is a minister, and I will no longer be a consul from tomorrow on."

"Does this have anything to do with it?" Penny said nonchalantly, "That's his business and has nothing to do with me."

Seeing that absent-minded expression, the Battlefield Atmosphere Team couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"It has nothing to do with you. Anyway, I was the one he killed in the end."

Penny raised her eyebrows slightly and asked you provocatively.

"Are you scared?"

Out of man's dignity, it was impossible for the battlefield atmosphere team to say that he was scared.

But out of manly responsibility, he finally said, "Don't make trouble."

"I will join the alliance soon... As for the future, I don't even know where I will go."

Penny said teasingly.

"You have done such an earth-shattering thing and even shocked the Emperor of the Eastern Empire and the President of the New Federation. Can your management manage to make you evaporate?"

The battlefield atmosphere team shook their heads.

"That's not the case, but I might go to a new map to open up wasteland - well, I mean another planet, outside the solar system."

"What's the matter?" Penny said with a smile, "Why don't I go with you?"

The battlefield atmosphere team stared blankly at the willful guy in front of them. They always felt that she was different from before, but they couldn't tell whether she had become more mature or childish.

Or maybe it wasn't her who changed, but herself who suddenly became hesitant and hesitant at some point.

He wasn't really like that before.

Looking at the pangolin who was speechless for a long time, Penny continued to speak in a serious tone.

"I'm not kidding you. I don't care about the 'refuge code' or the 'real name'. I can't remember such complicated things... I only know one thing. You are my pangolin." , so your answer is yes?”

"Frankly speaking, this is a very attractive proposal. Can I understand it as an expression of -"

She no longer wanted to listen to this guy's nonsense, so she threw the suitcase into the door. Then, under the astonished eyes of the battlefield atmosphere team, she hooked his neck and twisted him against the door.

The door hit the doorframe with a bang, and the sudden sound echoed in the empty corridor.

Perhaps this is the tradition of Weiland people——

But is there something wrong with this position?

The battlefield atmosphere team member wanted to resist, but suddenly realized that he was not that resistant.

After experiencing so many things together, he actually already had the answer in his heart... It was just that due to some concerns and a sense of responsibility in his heart, he never crossed that line.

But just a few hours ago, with his confession, those worries no longer existed.

His head was buzzing for a while, and he finally had time to squeeze out a sentence in a soliciting tone.

"Wait a minute - I accept your wishes, but can you change my name to something nicer?"

Gan!

The name pangolin has no sense of substitution!

If he had known that you shouldn't have listened to those bullies in the first place, he might as well have given him his real name!

Anyway, that's his name and there's nothing wrong with it.

But it seems it's too late to regret now.

Seeing this guy who shot himself in the foot, Penny had a devilish smile on her face and bit her down without mercy.

"Don't even think about it!"

…

A night of silence.

…

The next morning, sparse light passed through the gaps in the leaves outside the window and fell into the messy room.

The overturned tables, chairs and scattered cabinets looked like they had been blown by a tornado.

At this moment, the battlefield atmosphere group sitting by the bed has entered the virtuous time.

Thinking about how crazy he was last night, he couldn't help but hit himself on the head several times.

The two of them were both noobs at each other's throats, and theory far outweighed practice. They had agreed to discuss each other until the point was reached, but they both liked to show off.

In short, because someone said something complacent like "You are so good at poker", the card game accidentally dragged on from early morning to late night.

Faced with the provocation of the extremely talented Valantians, the Battlefield Atmosphere Team finally managed to maintain the dignity of the Fourth Natural Disaster before dying of exhaustion.

But unfortunately, all his moral integrity has been lost...

Looking at the peaceful sleeping face bathed in the sun, a soft smile suddenly appeared on the face of the battlefield atmosphere team member.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he saw her like this.

Breathing evenly, he gently blew up the odor that landed on the tip of his nose. He reached out to push it away for her, but found that those sapphire-like eyes were staring at him motionless.

"you're awake?"

Penny nodded slightly and said nothing, just looking at him with her doting eyes.

It looked like a well-fed cat, sleeping leisurely in the sun and licking its paws.

The battlefield atmosphere team felt that their heartbeats were beating much faster, but they felt a little distressed and gently stroked their silky hair.

"Can you still get up?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Penny, who was lying on her side, yawned and sat up, stretched out, grabbed her clothes and put them on her shoulders.

"Are you kidding? It's just a minor injury, it's nothing to me."

The battlefield atmosphere team made a helpless expression.

"Are you sure? That's not what you said yesterday."

"That's the exception."

Penny narrowed her eyes slightly and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"I won't lose next time."

I always felt that this guy had a strange desire to win, but the warlord didn't want to argue.

From now on, he should try his best to be a gentleman and give in more when it is time to give in.

After all, she had sacrificed so much for herself and decided to accompany her to a place so far away from home...

As if she understood his eyes, Penny stretched out her index finger and flicked his forehead.

"Listen, I don't want you to think that I've made some big sacrifice, or that you owe me a huge favor, and make it look like it's some kind of deal."

Holding the soft and powerful hand, the battlefield atmosphere group said in a tone of voice.

"I swear I didn't think so, I was just thinking...about my responsibility."

Although it was a bit disgusting to say this, he really couldn't think of a more appropriate way to express it.

"You'd better not," Penny said in a lazy voice as she narrowed her cat-like eyes slightly, "As for responsibility, you can take care of that part of yours. I'm not a child, I can do it myself. Take responsibility for yourself.”

When she said this, she looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile, and said in a non-joking tone.

"So if you dare to be disloyal to me or do something sorry for me, I will do it myself unless I do it myself."

The battlefield atmosphere team has no doubt that she can do it, even if they really fight, she is no match for them.

However, that kind of thing will never happen, and he can vouch for his character.

Whether it's reality or the character in the game.

Looking into those sapphire eyes, he made the most serious promise in his life.

"I promise! If something like that really happens, I won't bother you to do anything. I will solve it myself."

There were ripples of emotion in those bright eyes.

She could feel that there was no reservation in this promise.

That is not an oath made in anyone's name or in a name that can be discarded at any time, but a solemn promise made by one soul to another soul.

The two stared at each other intently, and the room was silent for a moment.

Any words you say at this time seem to be redundant.

Biting the edge of her lip, Penny looked at him for a long time, finally confirming her unreserved feelings, and then burst into laughter.

"No, I have the final say on this."

After saying this with a hint of coquettishness and cunning, she pounced on him like a tiger pouncing on prey, pressing the unsuspecting battlefield atmosphere group onto the pillow.

The branches outside the window were bent by the snow, swaying and creaking gently in the north wind, and the snowflakes falling all over the sky were like the sky putting on a wedding dress for the earth.

Maybe——

In fact, there was no need for him to leave in such a hurry.

The battlefield atmosphere team thought about it for a long time.

In fact, it was not that he failed no one, he even almost failed the one person he should not have failed the most, and it was a pity to let a girl who had been with him for a long time come and go.

It's better to wait a few days before leaving.

He had to explain Penny's matter clearly to Benoit, and he had to meet his future husband-in-law.

Ashamed to say it.

After coming to Triumph City for so long, he has been busy with business and has not even officially been to her home.

Although the Weiland people don't care much about these, after all, they also have their own traditions and cultural customs...

It’s difficult.

How do you tell your family about this kind of thing?

Are you getting married to a paper person?

Then they must not be sent to Professor Yang! ?

After thinking about a lot of things in a mess, Warfield Man completely lost the game this time.

Looking at that proud face, he completely lied down and raised his hands in surrender.

do not care!

In short, just take it one step at a time and get married before joining the alliance.

This is also Penny's idea.

Although she also said at the same time that this was just a greeting, and if her father didn't agree, then she wouldn't care about it, but he couldn't act willfully like her and leave a permanent regret for this happy ending. .

In any case, I'm afraid I'm going to be quite busy before my birthday...
