Chapter 487 (1/2)

Minor Changes to The Character Appearance

Wu Shun foolishly attempted to aid the swordswoman in her fight. He only ended up getting in the way.

She only got wounded attempting to save him. The game abruptly cut into a CG cutscene. It demonstrated the swordswoman’s valiant attempts at saving him without any regard for her own wound.

Realization quickly dawned upon Wu Shun. This swordswoman in grey was not some random, generic NPC she was a relatively important plot character. You don’t dedicate entire CG scenes to common NPCs.

Experienced players could instantly tell. The more CG animations a character is given, the more important the character had to be!

The grey swordswoman had pushed Wu Shun’s character down, shielding him, only to suffer a relatively ferocious wound to her back

The cutscene had been played from first-person view. He helped the female swordsman up. That was when he caught a glimpse of her face beneath the hood

Wu Shun gulped. The comments on the bullet curtain went into a frenzy. No one had expected the face beneath the hood to be so beautiful.

Of course, there was even more beauty in how she had absolutely no reaction or regard to her own wound!

Wu Shun was initially prepared for death. He had not expected to survive such an encounter. It was just a game, but it also provided an experience similar to “Suspension Bridge Reaction”[1]. As he gazed into the female swordsman’s face again, his heart started beating at insane speeds. This was the sensation of falling in love!

Actually, the swordswoman’s face was never fully revealed. According to Zhao Youyue’s set up, as a wanted fugitive and terrorist, Jane Doe Su should be covering her entire face, only leaving her eyes exposed. However, the game producer Zha Feng had not considered this attractive enough. He had made the slightest of changes to it——

Jane Doe Su’s face-concealing veil was turned into a blindfold. Her eyes had been completely covered, but the drop-dead gorgeous lower half of her face was displayed for the world to view.

There were few relatively iconic representatives for In-game female characters with veils or blindfolds in another world. They were all highly popular in their own right. For example, the beautiful and gentle girl 2B within “Nier Automata,” and also “The Fire Keeper” within “Dark Souls 3”. With blindfolds, their charm factor shot up to the next level!

According to Zhihu, such blindfolds often appeared in all kinds of books that involved various sorts of shameful plays. This “covered eyes” hobby had a specific name, and would be found in a specific type of book. It was an excellent design choice that would turn on the most hardcore otakus, as proven by the beautiful and gentle 2B. The psychological analysis related to the imagery of “veils” could be seen in professional books.

No one knew what inspired an “intoxicated” Zha Feng to incorporate a blindfold. Nevertheless, the change had instantly created a sense of visual impact on Jane Doe Su’s face. With only the lower half of her face revealed, she would be able to seduce players to the extreme!

Of course, her hair was grayish, standing out in sharp contrast to the black blindfold.

Perhaps Zha Feng had been awe-struck by Jane Doe Su, or he found such a trait highly useful. Therefore, all his upcoming games would feature all sorts of eye-covered characters, regardless of the gender.
