Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 279 Counter-Attack Tower Defense PVE
Yes, that's right. In this Ys Origin dungeon, the real person in charge of the Twin Goddess faction is actually this kid Cheng Tian.

Because he completed the "Sun and Moon Shining Together Contract" with the Twin Goddesses, Cheng Tian indirectly obtained a portion of the Black Pearl's usage rights. Moreover, he was a key participant in the early opening of this bounty instance. Therefore, his current identity is that of someone intervening between the chosen players and the local NPCs, making his identity more deeply bound to them than that of other players.

For other players, if the Twin Towers are breached, there's still a chance to evacuate and survive. But for him, who is deeply bound to the Twin Goddesses, he's under intense scrutiny and has no chance of escape.

Of course, he didn't intend to escape.

With his understanding of the Ys Origin dungeon and by using the Black Pearl's creation authority, Cheng Tian participated in and reasonably modified the special entries of the current dungeon. The "Soul Fragment" rule derived from his own "Onimusha" template also participated in the modification of the dungeon's entries.

This tower defense-style game mode is essentially a drastic simplification of real-time strategy (RTS) games.

Normal real-time strategy games require a lot of player input, such as Red Alert, Warcraft, StarCraft, Age of Empires, etc. However, tower defense-style rush games completely simplify the operation to the point that players only need to consume resources to produce troops. All soldiers will rush towards the opponent's base and fight against enemy soldiers encountered along the way until the opponent's base with the ability to produce troops is destroyed.

To be honest, Cheng Tian first came into contact with this mode through a bonus mini-game called "Gacha Servant" in the PS Vita version of the main Fate sequel, "Fate/hollow ataraxia".

Cheng Tian wasn't joking; he was serious about playing tower defense hedging.

However, with the addition of players and high-level NPCs to both sides, it's less of a tower defense battle and more like a MOBA game like Dota or League of Legends. And because of the Soul Shard stat, each player is essentially a monster spawner that fights on its own.

Because he was wearing a mask and the NPCs all had this attitude, no player has questioned Cheng Tian's identity yet.

Cheng Tian, ​​on the other hand, paused slightly when he saw familiar faces among the players, but then acted as if nothing had happened and directly explained the situation of the two factions.

Simply put, the Black Tower spawns mobs, while the White Tower spawns heroes; one focuses on quantity, the other on quality.

In theory, as long as players kill enough monsters, they can summon their own NPC projection army, forming a positive cycle.

However, powerful NPCs and boss-level monsters will also appear in the Black Tower, and players can try to conquer it together.

Although Cheng Tian defeated the guardian bosses of the first three floors, he hadn't had a chance to deal with the guardian bosses of the later floors. Moreover, the Dark Clan had a monster master like Saba, who could summon other elite and champion-level monsters in addition to his natal familiar, the Ice and Fire Twin Heads.

Of course, it wouldn't matter if Cheng Tian didn't go on about these things, because as a fellow player, he knew all too well what players needed.

Bounty dungeons generally don't offer permanent attribute boosts, so Cheng Tian changed his approach. He used the existing Cleria Ore system to create dungeon modifiers that permanently enhance equipment, clearly displaying them there. As long as players still need to upgrade their equipment, they're bound to take the bait.

Before Cheng Tian could even finish revealing the information about the Dark Clan members, most of the players in front of him had already demonstrated their characteristic "skip" behavior—skipping all unnecessary plot introductions and ignoring Cheng Tian, ​​immediately starting to form teams on the spot. Well, compared to the solo playstyle of "I don't know who I am, I only know I'm going to go on a killing spree," the players present were relatively rational.

With no PVP interference, only white-name players allowed to enter, and plenty of monsters to kill, these conditions combined significantly reduce the possibility of infighting and betrayal. Only by uniting can they better snowball their influence.

Without a doubt, the shield guard Oglin was extremely popular. No one could dislike someone who stood there like a small mountain.

Not to mention the players, even the local temple knights and mages couldn't help but like the big iron lump holding the door panel shield.

However, O'Glint's attention remained focused on Mr. Cheng, who had to reluctantly stop revealing information because 90% of players chose SKIP.

Then he saw that Cheng, who was wearing a mask, stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly lost his balance and walked in a way that made him look like a zombie.

Oglin Shield Guard, with a sharp mind, suddenly realized that he had recognized Cheng's true identity.

But being a smart guy, he recognized Cheng Tian's identity but chose not to make a fuss. Instead, he silently accepted the suggestions of others and participated in the deployment of defenses on the front line of Baita.

Players currently have zero soul fragments, so cooperating with NPCs to wait for the monsters to attack is a good option.

Meanwhile, the demon army from the Black Tower was already charging towards the White Tower in a massive swarm. These demons were all created by Dares, who had forced the demon horde in the Cangku Domain to regenerate and multiply their numbers after Dares had pushed the source of the demons. They were mainly composed of skeleton armored warriors, supplemented by skeleton mages.

However, even when there was still some distance between the two sides, the player made the first move.

Due to the limitations of the dungeon's content, the players entering this instance were primarily mages, archers, and warriors. The player in the initial attack, clad in a bright red cloak, was enveloped in intense fire elemental energy. The scorching flames then swept across the battlefield, instantly melting over a dozen skeleton soldiers. The embers and flames left on the ground continued to damage subsequent monster units.

The other player, whose body was completely enveloped in a green robe, condensed lightning element in his palm and unleashed it forward—

However, among the players, a muscular man who appeared almost naked at first glance, but was actually wearing blue leggings, wristbands, and briefs, and adorned with many skull decorations, made a single-arm raising motion. Suddenly, five fountains erupted from the previously solid ground, blasting the skeleton warrior into the air. Before he even landed, his body was already shattered by the jets of water—
