Chapter 116 Qin Zhen's True Body
Qin Zhen's face appeared on Chu Qiancheng's hand-drawn screen. Her deep face with bright and dark contours, a pair of fierce and beautiful big eyes, full of confusion and helplessness.
She lazily knelt on the bed, with one hand pressing the palm of her hand on her forehead, and cold sweat dripping down her cheeks. Her hair was sticking to her side face, with shiny sweat beads hanging on her hair. Her other hand was pressed on her chest, protecting her heart, as if preventing it from jumping out of the cavity.
Her toes exposed outside the quilt were nervously entangled, as if she wanted to withstand a huge psychological impact on her body.
On the wall of her bedroom, there was a huge game poster.
On the poster, a Cyber creature, like a firefly, lay exhausted in the arms of a girl, her transparent wings were all corroded and deformed by strong acids, and her head was hanging listlessly.
After Chu Qiancheng finished painting this painting, he held the hand-painted screen in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Qin Zhen approached his side and looked at his scene, his heart pounding wildly.
The scene drawn by Chu Qiancheng was exactly what she looked like after waking up after having a nightmare. Her expression, her hair, her posture, her pajamas, and even the styles of her quilt and bed sheets are exactly the same.
She even suspected that Chu Qiancheng once stuck on the floor-to-ceiling window of her bedroom like a fly and peeked at her sleep!
She subconsciously wanted to slap him in the face. However, she immediately thought of Chu Qiancheng's special identity: mor-cn-0799.
The reason why he became the core of the largest research project in the Administration's history is precisely because he was the first recorded traveler in human history to travel through the future.
Every inspiration related to reality has corresponding surreal explanations.
"Can he say that because of his resentment towards me, he traveled through his dream...the fly outside my window peeked at me to sleep?"
Qin Zhen began to think randomly and was upset.
The Oriental Branch officials who had been observing their interactions could not suppress their curiosity, and they all came over and came behind Chu Qiancheng to watch the paintings he drew.
Immediately afterwards, everyone looked at Qin Zhen in amazement.
"Old Chu, what did you... think of?" Fu Xin was the first to wake up from the shock.
"The sequel to "Dry Bone Town"." Chu Qiancheng was still in a state of wandering, but just answered subconsciously.
"Huh!" Everyone in the room breathed nervously.
What is coming is finally here!
Qin Zhen's whole body trembled violently. She looked at the original painting in Chu Qiancheng's hand and vaguely realized something.
"Old Chu, tell us?" Fu Xin guided her in fear but extremely excitedly. She wanted to know if Chu Qiancheng's soul was dead in the future world.
"In "Dry Bone Town", the ig that players travel through time is dead, but how should the story continue? How should they travel to the future again? Who will help them travel through time?"
Chu Qiancheng looked at the original painting in his hand, his eyes flashing with spiritual light.
"We all know that Ellie is not the creator of Cyber Life, she is just the soul summoner of Cyber Life. Im's soul is a player, so where does another Cyber Life she created - Huaxian, come from? The player can only be another player! And this player is the key to awakening ig."
"Old Chu, are you going to design a sequel to a two-person collaboration?" Fu Xin asked curiously.
"My idea is similar to the cooperation mode between father and son in Douzong 4, but players can choose to act as a flower fairy or ig. Let the system automatically handle the player's choices. Once one of them is selected, ai will control the other."
Chu Qiancheng looked at the original painting in his hand and became more and more excited as he spoke: "The early story of the sequel will be performed by Huaxian alone until he resurrected IG. Players who traveled to Huaxian's body, uh... are they players who have played "Dry Bone Town"? This not only realizes the breaking of the game, but also promotes "Dry Bone Town" by the way."
"You can add this to the ending easter egg in the performance of "Dry Bone Town", and the effect will be very good." Qin Zhen suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Mr. Qin, do you have no objection?" Chu Qiancheng woke up from his dream when he heard Qin Zhen's words, and turned to look at her.
"..." Qin Zhen looked at his confused and helpless look in the original painting.
Her expression in the original painting is exactly what she has always seen in the mirror when she was a teenager. Her dark youth has never been far away.
A trace of awareness gradually formed in Qin Zhen's heart: she is no longer an operator of the management bureau that hosted Chu Qiancheng, but now she has become a project to be hosted, and she is likely to be Chu Qiancheng's future comrade-in-arms.
She glanced at Chu Qiancheng deeply: It would be fine, maybe in the future, she could find opportunities to make up for her mistakes.
"Goodbye, I'm the past!"
Qin Zhen smiled slightly at Chu Qiancheng's hand.
"Mr. Qin, would you mind the girl in the original painting looks the same as you?" Chu Qiancheng looked at her and looked at the outline of every trace of muscle on her face.
"I don't mind, as long as the game is excellent, I can do it." Qin Zhen's face did not change, "write the story outline as soon as possible. I'm very optimistic about your game."
"Okay." Chu Qiancheng smiled gently.
...
Guan Qing and Wu Deyang checked the terminal of the entertainment room for a whole day, and finally put forward Qin Zhen's files from the committee's confidential files based on Wu Deyang's recently increased confidentiality rights.
The reason why Qin Zhen joined the Administration was always the highest secret. It turned out that when Mor-0001 began to make the doomsday prophecy, she mentioned her name.
However, the role Qin Zhen plays in the future doomsday is still unknown, so the Administration will temporarily put her in the Logistics Bureau to observe.
"It turns out that Qin Zhen has such a deep background in entering the game. She is actually a potential shelter project!" Guan Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, this does not explain any black material related to Chu Qiancheng." Wu Deyang shook his head.
"Did the Administration also did not include information on this?" Guan Qing speculated.
"There is such a strong relationship between the two projects, which is a strange thing no matter how you say it is. This matter must be investigated clearly."
"Well, I'll ask the agent team to investigate this matter." Guan Qing said seriously.
Guan Qing returned to the work area with a heavy mood and suddenly found that the atmosphere in the work area was different. The tension that originally formed by opposition to Jizhen Society was gone. Everyone was inexplicably nervous and expectant.
He turned his head and looked at Chu Qiancheng's workbench. A brand new original game painting had already hung on the whiteboard next to his desk.
Guan Qing slowly walked to the original screen and took a look: "Himmer!"
"Qin Zhen is a flower fairy!" He screamed loudly deep in his heart.
Fuxin passed by him, nodded at him, blinked her eyes, and understood it.
Guan Qing started hiccup again.
"Mr. Qin... hiccup! Where is Mr. Qin?" Guan Qing asked hurriedly.
"She said she was going to inspect the secret laboratory of the test base." Chu Qiancheng raised his head.
Guan Qing rushed to the secret laboratory as fast as possible. It is claimed to be a laboratory for the new dream creation host for experiments, so it is a forbidden zone for Chu Qiancheng and testers. Only scientific researchers and senior executives within the group can obtain access rights.
After Guan Qing entered the door, he saw Qin Zhen who was talking to Xiao Ling on the laboratory terminal at the first glance.
"President Qin." Guan Qing subconsciously said hello.
"I have automatically resigned as the president of Jizhen Society, and Jizhen Society will be officially merged into the Oriental Branch." Qin Zhen said lightly, "With Xiaoling's help, I completed the registration and became the project mor-cn-0800."
"I will help you apply for a project to be a researcher. With Xiaoling's processing, the program is much faster than before. Sorry, you must go this round in the program." Guan Qing said quickly.
"Don't worry, Xiaoling is already helping me." Qin Zhen nodded politely to Xiaoling.
"Don't worry, Zhenzhen, mom and dad will take good care of you." Xiaoling said with a smile.
"..." Guan Qing lowered his head. Qin Zhen looked at him squintly, as if he could guess who "mom" was, and smiled faintly.
Guan Qing tried his best to concentrate on things: this time, the move to pull Jizhen Society into the market has achieved the greatest benefits so far. Jizhen Society has completely become a subordinate agency of the Oriental Branch, which means that the strength of the Oriental Branch has reached another level. If he becomes the director of the Oriental Branch in the future, his status in the bureau will be even higher.
"Xiao Ling, if I were connected to the dream machine now, would I travel to the future like Chu Qiancheng displayed in the record?" Qin Zhen asked.
"According to your narrative, as well as father's experience and original paintings, I initially concluded that you have traveled to the future and fought side by side with father to protect Ellie. Daddy's ig unfortunately fell through time. But the flower fairy you passed through time survived. You are now connected to the dream machine. If you really traveled through time, the result should be similar to that of Dad's, but the main perspective will be changed to you."
"So, the mechanism that Chu Qiancheng thought of to convert the protagonist can actually be realized in "Dry Bone Town"?" Qin Zhen couldn't help asking.
"No, only you can achieve it, because others clearly have ig in the setting of "Dry Bone Town", so in the dream, they will travel into ig through self-awareness. You do not have this kind of setting limit. However, in Dad's future new works, all players will have the same freedom as you."
"Xiao Ling, I have a new question. If I now connect to the dream machine, fast forward to the ending, and continue to advance the storyline after the ending, then will I dream about what’s next?"
Qin Zhen asked nervously with his fists clenched.
"Impossible." Xiaoling answered simply.
"Why?!" Qin Zhen felt a little relieved.
"Because..." Guan Qing took over the conversation with a sorry smile, "Because if you traveled through time, it was impossible to advance to the perfect ending. Only the perfect ending is the truth of the future. If you cannot advance to the perfect ending, you cannot carry the story to the next paragraph."
"Because... Is the Flower Fairy very weak?" Qin Zhen's face looked bad.
"Yes." Guan Qing said honestly, "Without IG's mediation, you can't pass the Red Queen's level, and the Flower Fairy can't even say human words."
Qin Zhen wants to beat Guan Qing: You are like Huaxian, you can’t speak human language!
"So... I can only wait for Chu Qiancheng to design the sequel to "Dry Bone Town" to record my future time travel in the archives of the Administration? How long will it take?" Qin Zhen felt a little impatient, she wanted to know her story in the future.
"If you can find a way to do a good job in the promotion of "Dry Bone Town", once Lao Chu is inspired, maybe the inspiration will burst out, and the sequel will be made with Hululu." Guan Qing said hurriedly.
"Did you... fall into Chu Qiancheng's curse? Why do you think about him so much?" Qin Zhen couldn't help laughing. Guan Qing's intention to help Chu Qiancheng ask for publicity and dissemination funds should not be too obvious.
"Huh, he is different." Guan Qing looked at Xiao Ling on the terminal screen.
Xiaoling nodded seriously, with a serious look on his face.
Chapter completed!
