I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 164 Hell Has No Gates, Yet You Insist on Entering (26)

Fragmented narrative was not a particularly new concept in Chen Yu's previous life. Many producers who were not good at storytelling but had good ideas would choose this approach, hiding the plot in the corners of the game and letting the players discover and piece it together on their own.

This approach may create a sense of fragmentation and discontinuity for players, but it also allows them to fill in the gaps in the plot and piece together a plausible explanation.

Moreover, this narrative style greatly enhances the uncertainty of the story and fills the details with various spaces for discussion.

For a novel like "The Mysterious Immortal of the Dao," which is difficult to describe clearly in words, fragmented narration is more suitable and easier to confuse readers, making it easier to harvest negative emotions.

Looking back at the ten dreams he had before, Chen Yu felt there was no need to force a connection between them.

In any case, they are all aspects of the original work, and their underlying themes are interconnected. Letting players piece them together and find them themselves is also a form of artistic expression.

By connecting the entry point of each dream with the plot at the end of Chapter Two, players can successfully continue the previous storyline.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu immediately felt his inspiration begin to flourish, and his heart was filled with enthusiasm!
"Make sure that the plot of each dream can be connected to Chapter Two! This isn't difficult, after all, the player ends up as Sun Huowang, and is in a state of confusion, so any way you want to make it work!"

"Each dream has a different gameplay! Whichever one the player likes will be the third chapter! Hahaha, you didn't expect that, did you? You're Xin Su now! How does it feel to be Xin Su?"

"Add hints to each dream, telling them that everyone dies in the end. The more you piece together, the more tragic the ending will be, and the more negative emotions it will give me."

"Enhance the gameplay of each dream, make the dream content even more outrageous! Add some dazzling lights! And use your insights to upgrade it to level 2!"

Once you get the hang of it, things become much easier.

I don’t know if it’s because his art score improved to 95, but Chen Yu feels like he’s gone crazy and it’s really great.

A flood of artistic ideas was activated in his mind, giving him a completely new understanding of how to torture people.

Here you can add a twist, there you can add some pain, and then add some of your own experiences in Fukuzawa City, and then make this part a bit crazy!
It's even possible to create mirror images of two dreams, where you see one scene here and another when you turn around, and even see a completely different scene after obtaining certain items.

To make his dreams even more insane, Chen Yu even briefly adjusted the temperature to its optimal level, briefly raising his brain temperature to its limit. The hallucinations brought on by the high temperature boosted his inspiration, allowing him to distribute more and more insane content across each dream.

The more players play, the less they can tell the difference; the less they can tell, the more frantic they become; the more frantic they become, the more they want to know which is real; and the more they want to know, the more they want to play. Then comes a deluge of negative emotions.

Logic closed loop, perfect.

Having decided to use this narrative style, Chen Yu went through all the contents of the ten dreams.

Moreover, in order to create the hidden internal connections within it, he spent two days using the system's combat techniques to sort out the logical story, and then another day to fully incorporate it.

After finishing, Chen Yu deactivated the system's combat tactics and began to ponder the ten dreams on his phone.

While doing it, my body temperature rose, and my mind was a mess, so I was having a great time thinking about it and doing it.

However, after calming down, he realized that he might have gotten a little carried away.

When he came to his senses, he realized that he hadn't eaten any mushrooms, so how could he have made such a crazy thing?
Is madness the ultimate end of art?

Just as he was thinking, the door was pushed open, and a hamster covered in grease walked in, immediately trying to lie down on Chen Yu's bed. Chen Yu quickly pulled the bed up, but before it landed, the hamster flipped in mid-air, pushed itself up with one paw, and looked at Chen Yu with dissatisfaction, saying, "I just got back, can't you let me take a nap?"

"I know."

“We spent three days interning at the factory, screwing in screws and hand-making a bunch of parts. What’s wrong with letting me lie down for a while?”

That's my bed.

What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine!

"Get out of here, Fat Tiger!"

The little hamster glared fiercely at Chen Yu, but finding that he wouldn't budge an inch, it could only sit cross-legged, rubbing the machine oil off its hands, and said, "These past three days have been exhausting. Every day I get up and all I do is tighten screws. Now I see screws everywhere I look. What's the point of tightening them anyway?"

"Five yuan each."

"...Damn! I was wondering why I got an extra subsidy; I thought it was a mistake! Ma Daqiang must be thrilled!"

"what happened?"

"He's fast and good at screwing in screws. Master Gong even praised him as a screw-driving talent and is planning to let him learn for a while longer. I estimate that guy's subsidy will be over a thousand, he's going to be ecstatic. Chen Yu, it's such a pity you didn't go. Opportunities like this that can improve your grades and make you money are too rare."

"It's okay, I got my Class A driver's license."

"grass!"

Jealous, she glanced at Chen Yu's driver's license, carefully took it, and immediately covered it with her own photo before quickly taking a picture and posting it on her WeChat Moments to show off.

She handed the driver's license back to Chen Yu and said with satisfaction, "Alright, let those relatives who can't stand to see me doing well be jealous. By the way, what have you been doing these past three days without going to the factory?"

"I had a dream and finished the previous 'Dream Man'."

"Oh, I see. It's a pity she's not my type. But I'm the class monitor, so I can help you test her."

Looking at the enthusiastic class monitor, Chen Yu considered the monitor's temperament and then shook his head, saying, "Forget about it. Your Dao heart isn't good enough, so I won't harm you."

"So, who are you planning to harm?"

"I don't know, I'm planning to find someone to test it out. But we're all so familiar with each other, I feel a little embarrassed to harm anyone."

As the two were contemplating with their arms crossed, the dormitory door was pushed open again, and Principal Liu appeared in the doorway, holding a mobile phone with an external display.

Standing at the door, he looked inside and said, "I just saw a Shiny Bai Ze here. Can you let me in to catch it? Also, have you seen the Dean of Students? He just stole my Shiny Qiongqi and ran away. I'm going to beat him up."

Seeing the principal so engrossed in playing "The Legend of Mountains and Seas" that he forgot his job, Chen Yu and the little hamster nodded, knowing who to test.
