Chapter 485 (2/2)

“That’s not good. If the beautiful, gentle Yan Qingmeng and Ye Honglian are enemies, and my adulterous history with Ye Honglian gets uncovered, all hell might break loose. I’ll probably get some negative value on her favorability. She would hate me,” Wu Shun read her character entry and concluded bitterly.

Unsurprisingly, Wu Shun had long cleared the previous DLC. His ending wasn’t that bad. Ye Honglian had shared many wonderful, painful memories with him. They abruptly ended up forgetting each other. Well, it was just simply because he had been unable to complete some high difficulty quests, causing the two of them to eventually end up that way.

To Wu Shun, Ye Honglian was even more attractive, compared to the two heroines within the base game. He had to admit that he would not be able to let her go if she were to appear in front of him again, one day.

To male players, raiding female characters gave the game meaning. Unfortunately, the game did not provide harem systems. If only one said “I love you” to every female character, they would end up being single “Cannon Kings.”

As he cleared more sidequests, he also had a clearer insight on the hardships of citizens under the ruling of a tyrant. Most importantly, those assassinated officers were all minions of the tyrant. They had played their part in laying the grounds for evil. The people only had cause to celebrate their deaths, much less mourn for them…

Wu Shun started feeling indecisive. Should he eliminate those chivalrous assassins? Anyway, he still had a main questline to complete. The game was open and diverse, so more options might make themselves available, soon enough.

Proceeding on with the quest chain only led him to more confusion. Those “chivalrous assassins” were described as ignorant fools who had been brainwashed by some single-minded conspiration fabricator, or someone behind the scenes. Once that person behind the scenes becomes king, he might be even crueler than the current king. As it stood, the current king was already the source of the Kingdom’s chaos!

The “Chun Yang” sect also considered those assassins to be pagan disciples. They shared all forms of techniques in public, so that everyone could pick them up and start training. They believed in equal power and equal right to knowledge. How could this be allowed?

Wu Shun was already confused as it was. Still, he had to be doing the right thing, increasing the favorability of the beautiful and gentle Yan Qingmeng.

But, why was her favorability meter crawling ever so slowly, even if she was generous and benevolent on the surface? As expected of a righteous Deity, slow to please

Wu Shun felt a burst of motivation coursing through his veins. Malevolence, justice they’re all the same. The beautiful and gentle Yan Qingmeng was justice. “Appearance was justice” seemed to make sense.

Soon, he found himself backed in a corner, and a nameless girl appeared!

Translation Note:

[1] Ironman Mode – Ironman Mode means a player is not allowed to use the console, not allowed to save files by themselves. There is only one auto-save file allowed, and the AI decides when to save the file. Every time when a file is saved, it will automatically overwrite the previously saved file. Therefore, Ironman Mode can be considered as “No-regret Mode.” Even if you have already noticed that you’ve done something wrong, it is impossible for you to reload the previously saved file.
