Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 423 Vega's calendar is about to be completely devoured by Cheng Tian.
The loot drop rules for the King of Fighters '97 MUGEN dungeons are somewhat unique compared to other dungeons.

Strictly speaking, most fighting game instances do not contain monsters that can be easily cleared or killed. All interactions are based on NPCs from different factions, either fighting in the arena or engaging in deathmatch battles off the arena.

The drop rules for these combat-themed dungeons will naturally have combat-related specializations.

Simply put, you can get loot by killing enemies, and you can also get loot by defeating enemies.

The former generally drops higher quality loot, but once the killing is exposed, it will cause varying degrees of factional turmoil, affecting both friendly and enemy factions.

While the latter's drop quality is somewhat lower, it is one of the few ways to "obtain items dropped by friendly NPCs normally without being hostile."

As long as it conforms to the fighting rules, whether it's in a competition arena or a street fight in the wild, there is a chance to get a treasure chest after winning. However, theoretically, it can only drop once, and only a very small number of boss-level units with shape-changing abilities have the possibility of being repeatedly obtained.

Furthermore, losing a fight will not affect the drop rate of the treasure chest in the next winning fight.

Cheng Tian's additional skill, "Soul Salvation," allows him to collect the souls of the innocent by killing evil dark units or destroying candlesticks and torches.

However, in the last "Armor Warrior" dungeon, the drop rate for destroying mechs and cyborgs changed from "Innocent Soul" to "Steel Soul," indicating that the potential of this skill is not limited to that.

Therefore, in this place where fighters are everywhere, the attribute has been transformed into [defeating evil dark fighters and having a high probability of dropping "Fighter's Soul"].

Previously, I almost shattered the yolk of the Great God Methyl, but nothing dropped. However, Bison contributed the treasure chest and soul.

Normally, Cheng Tian would need to be present in person to pick up the fallen soul fragment, but the world picked it up automatically and even gave a thought-provoking message: "Does not meet the criteria for a heinous crime."

Cheng Tian couldn't help but start thinking.

A Stand is a physical manifestation of the spiritual power and even soul resonance that is highly bound to the original body. Moreover, when a Stand is attacked, the damage is simultaneously reflected back to the original body. Therefore, compared to so-called summoned creatures, Stands are more like the limbs and soul extensions of the original body. Theoretically, they can indeed pick up items for the player.

However, compared to other stand-ins, Cheng Tian's world has a more special feature in the original setting: it has a clear evolution path and related conditions, one of which is "36 heinous souls".

Perhaps this is the main reason why the Stand world can absorb souls in place of oneself?

But then again, how come the soul fragment that Bison dropped doesn't fit the "heinous crime" attribute?

...It seems that this guy really is the one who is furthest away from the word "evil" among the Four Heavenly Kings of Shadow.

Vega, the leader, needs no introduction. His crimes are countless, making him one of the most deserving of the term "heinous."

However, apart from the leader, the other four Heavenly Kings are all "pure" in every way.

Sagat, who has left the organization, is a pure martial artist who, like Ryu, pursues the ultimate in martial arts.

Baroque, who pursued beauty and despised ugliness, was surrounded by muscular, ugly men every day, but he didn't break down to the point of violently killing them, which is commendable.

The method of using poison is somewhat mysterious, and it actually leans more towards the researchers; he hadn't joined them yet when Vega was causing trouble.

As for Bison, he is a pure individual who lives solely for money. He joined Shadow Law for money, and became one of the Four Heavenly Kings for even more money. Although Capcom later portrayed him as someone with no brains but only muscles, he wasn't really a purely evil person. He even raised a Vega clone, just like Terry Bogard.

Of course, that's what they say. It's not something to be praised for aiding and abetting evil. It just means they definitely did evil, but it doesn't meet the criteria of "extremely heinous".

"Should we try killing the Great Cute God?"

Cheng Tian suddenly had this thought, and if nothing unexpected happened, the other party should still be lying in the organizer's hospital.

By synchronizing with the world, Cheng Tian and Bazett looked at each other and nodded.

Bazett headed straight for another group of his own, while the world, with treasure chests and a decimated Royal Guard, began to return rapidly in October.

Cheng Tian still remembered the request from December, but since the Overlord himself has a skill cooldown, it's better to gather people together for brainwashing.

As for Bison?

He had completely merged with the night and was enjoying a sweet, baby-like sleep.

……

The orange-gold figure kept flashing around the laboratory, and each time it appeared, it meant that at least one member of the Royal Guard had fallen under the world's fist, and it also meant that another unlucky guy had been added to Cheng Tian's cage where the super-powered dinosaur was kept.

Aside from taking down Bison at the very beginning because it was so easy, he then focused on capturing the Royal Guard, and almost always managed to do so within three moves.

They thought they were very good at hiding, but under the Dominator's radar, they were nowhere to hide; they were practically covered by a label.

In addition, although the world can only appear around Cheng Tian, ​​it can be disbanded directly under remote control. This means that disbanding and resummoning it at the right time can save the Stand a lot of running distance. Furthermore, the mysterious figures constantly appearing around also successfully interfered with the battle of the other four Heavenly Kings.

The world did not actually attack the remaining Four Heavenly Kings and Juri, but as long as it stood there, you could not ignore its existence. You had to devote some of your energy to keeping an eye on the world's movements, and any slight disturbance would draw your attention.

Meanwhile, Bazett, who had freed up his hands, rushed to Eileen and Mina's location and began a strong attack on Baroque and Fang.

But at that very moment, Cheng, who was sitting in the center collecting Vega's calendar, smirked.

"You guys really couldn't resist!"

Upon seeing the familiar behemoth appear on the Dominator Radar, Cheng Tian revealed an expression of "I knew it."

That familiar, massive silhouette was none other than Maxima, who had appeared that morning and left his Dominator Puppet Mark. This time, he was accompanied by even more cyborgs, and a figure distinctly different from the surrounding cyborgs—

A man who, on a sweltering summer night, still chose to wrap his body in a coat, revealing only half of his face.
