Chapter 472 (2/2)

This time, he had also made preparations, just in case someone did kill the nameless girl. Firstly, the player would become the arch enemy of the nameless city. At the same time, he would be on the wanted list of the Kingdom of Zhao. He would also get hunted down by the many people who were once saved by the nameless girl. Other than that, if Li Xiye learned of it, he would turn hostile, and might even hunt the player actively

At the same time, should the player do some “hero saves the beauty” side quests in the future, there was a high possibility of being backstabbed by the person he saved. Of course, the person must have thought that the player carried some items of value. Naturally, in such a ruthless world, killing someone for their spoils would be completely justifiable!

Finally, when the player reaches a spot in the game where he or she had been scripted to die, the player would be at the complete mercy of the game. Perhaps, had the nameless girl been alive, the player might be able to scrape through this part, albeit barely. However, now that the player has slain the nameless girl in cold blood, good luck with that.

This would most likely render the entire savefile useless. No matter what, there was no way to get past the scripted death part alone.

In a sense, Zha Feng did not want the players to kill the nameless girl at all, as it was a waste to the outstanding storyline that he had painstakingly prepared for them!

When Zha Feng handed the script to the screenwriting team, they almost became catatonic —- —-

“Boss, this character is a work of God. It might just redefine the game!”

“Boss, I don’t see any possible good endings? Shouldn’t a sweet girl like her at least have a happy ending?”

“On the night of the full moon, the Duel, a sword from the West, “Fairy from Wonderland”! We finally have something good here. This is classic Wuxia!”

“If we’re aiming to portray the stark contrast between Cinderella and the princess in all of its glory, we must find the best artist for the job. I have a bold idea…”

“Bold idea or not, whatever. For such a character, we must, of course, call in Su Li. Her drawing style matches this character, especially when the girl is in her princess form. Oh, and, of course, her finale as well. Hehe.”

“If that’s the case, what do we do with the righteous deity Yan Qingmeng. She was supposed to be the original protagonist. No matter how I look at it, she seems so, bland and pedestrian, compared to this miserable princess character.”

…

When Zha Feng saw the enthusiastic response of the screenwriters, he felt very pleased. When he heard that question about the main female protagonist, he said, “No changes needed! We can keep Yan Qingmeng as the mascot of the DLC. Let players think she’s the heroine. She is righteous, she’s the face of heroism! The nameless girl does not even have a name, what’s the point in advertising her? I would really love to see how players react. The misery they’ve placed themselves in, from the moment they decide to kill her with their own hands hehehe.”

Most of the screenwriters shuddered. Their boss was an evil demon!

But this evil demon was their boss, and his will was their commandment. All they had to do was fill in the details accurately, such as the relationship between the “Sword God” Li Xiye and Jane Doe Su. Why did Li Xiye’s heart flutter as he fought her at the Duel?
