New Century Anime Warrior

[Option: I'll take you to the moon!]

Wang Xianren no longer cared about the commotion on Weibo. He reloaded the game and chose the promise that was destined to affect David and Lucy's lives.

As the promise was made, Lucy held David's face and kissed him, with a lunar spaceship soaring into the sky against the backdrop of the enormous moon.

Lucy: I don't want you to die.

After the two locked eyes, the animation cuts to them kissing passionately, and the final frame freezes on a fantastical moon.

The original location of the moon has become the Earth, and the rooftop has become the edge of the lunar crater where they sat side by side in their lunar dream.

At this moment, it seemed as if they had fulfilled their promise to go to the moon ahead of schedule.

"Oh my god, she's in A! Lucy's in A! As expected of my wife, her passion is so intense, so wonderful!"

While sighing, Wang Xianren quietly deleted his previous blog post.

At this moment, he could still be a loyal cannon fodder for the scoundrel Si Hua.

Chapter Three: The Legend of Night City

Faraday, the middleman, embroiled Mann's team in the internal power struggles of the Arasaka Corporation. What seemed like a lucrative mission turned out to be a series of tragedies and deadly traps.

It all started with Mann's loss of control, which unintentionally severely injured Kiki and put Lucy in danger while stealing data from Tanaka.

Faced with the arrival of the trauma team, Mann and Dorio let David take Lucy to retreat, while the two of them stayed behind to cover the rear.

[Lucy: There's absolutely no data with Tanaka!]

David then realized that Tanaka's corpse was actually a trap.

[Option: Lucy, I don't think you'll ever say that to me... "You can do it."]

[Option: ...We can't let Mann and Dorio sacrifice themselves in vain! We must retreat!]

Wang Xianren has long since figured out Si Hua's tactics. The first option is basically the plot direction the creators want, while the second option is a possibility outside the plot line.

If you choose the second option, no one knows what will happen... it's like opening a blind box or drawing cards.

Therefore, Wang Xianren chose the first option without hesitation.

After saying this, David activated the Sinwiss and rushed off to rescue Mann and Dorio.

During the fierce battle, Mann's cyberpsychosis worsened, and he could no longer distinguish between friend and foe.

Realizing something was wrong, Dorio rushed toward Mann with the inhibitor. Although she managed to inject the inhibitor into Mann at the critical moment, she was also hit in the head by the NCPD who was knocked to the ground by Mann.

When Mann regained consciousness, he watched his partner die before his eyes, and in the end, he was heartbroken.

When David chose to stand with him, Mann gently slapped him across the face.

The lightest yet heaviest slap from the good older brother.

[Mann: David, this is my final destination... but you must survive. Aren't you the fastest runner?]

[Mann: Now let's run.]

After persuading David, Mann detonated the pile of explosives, choosing to perish with all the enemies... while David only had time to snatch back his good brother's metal arm.

"No!!!"

Wang Xianren, who was completely immersed in the story, couldn't hold back again, and his good older brother Mann also sacrificed himself.

"This fucking world, this fucking cyberpunk!"

Another sound of a mouse clicking on the desktop.

Second Legendary High School Student Support Group.

This is a fan group for Si Hua created by Kuang Qiang, imitating the format of Lin Lin's fan support group.

Lin Lin's fan club is managed by dedicated staff from her management team, and everything is very well organized.

Moreover, Nanlin is, after all, a state-owned enterprise, and its fan management model is not as wild and unscrupulous as those entertainment companies that have grown wildly.

This has led to the mediocre development of the talent agency sector within the Nanlin Group, or rather, the mediocre marketization of the entire Nanlin Group's entertainment products.

Lin Zhenbang emphasized countless times in the closed-door meetings of the group's leaders that although the less ethical the entertainment industry is, the more money it can make, Nanlin's lineage requires that he cannot profit from human suffering.

Therefore, its reputation in the industry and its corporate culture are quite good.

As for the group name, "The Second Legendary High School Student of 2006" has become a slang term between fans and haters, referring to Si Hua.

The first legend is naturally Lin Lin.

"Guys, I can't keep playing Edgewalker anymore..."

In a group where activity had noticeably declined since the game's release, someone suddenly popped up, seemingly still complaining about the game.

"Haven't even started playing yet... It's terrible? That's normal, considering it's Si Hua's first game."

"It's not that bad. It's called a Galgame, but it's more like a traditional visual novel."

"I agree. It's a bit like those interactive movies from abroad, but without as many branching storylines; it's still quite linear."

"Is it possible that the 'Galgame' is just a gimmick used by underlings to lure people in and then kill them?"

"You know what, you really have to say... I thought this game would have romance with beautiful girls, school life, youth and battles, multiple branches and endings, and preferably be for adults..."

"Think again, does this game contain any of the elements you mentioned?"

"Damn, it seems like they really do have all of them."

"The best part is that every key plot point is seamlessly connected by a few seconds of animation, instantly maximizing the emotional impact."

"And that animated comic page, every beat is like a tapping motion in my brain, the style is so intense!"

"+1, as expected of a recognized audiovisual genius. Will you be involved in audiovisual work for galas or opening ceremonies in the future? I feel like it would be very interesting."

"No, if you're all praising it so highly, how come we can't keep playing?"

"..."

After a brief silence, countless wails suddenly rose into the sky.

"My mother, Gloria!"

"My brother-in-law, Pila, was my mentor in life!"

"My dear brother Mann and sister-in-law Dorio!"

"My little wife, Rebecca!"

"???"

"Holy crap, how did you spoil the plot?! Rebecca died too???"

"Huh? None of you guys have finished the game? Hehehe, I have a bold idea..."

The group member has been banned from speaking by the group owner for 24 hours.

"here you go!"

"I've decided not to call you 'dog group owner' for the next 24 hours."

Kuang Qiang wiped away non-existent sweat, realizing he had almost been spoiled by this dog-like group member, who had also only gotten to the part where Mann sacrificed himself.

As a visual novel disguised as a Galgame, the immersion is quite strong; he really couldn't withstand this kind of emotional blow.

And barring any unforeseen circumstances, we'll have to continue the surgery...

I originally wanted to chat in the group to relax, but as soon as I logged in, a fellow member spoiled everything for me.

Spicy shredded chicken, and Rebecca is dead too?

Do not! ! !

Si Hua, little brother... no, how could Si Hua, that little thief, even lay a hand on a cute little girl?!

Is he heartless?

"Ugh, I don't really want to open the game anymore, I feel like I can't breathe."

"This is cyberpunk... Face this miserable world, group admin."

"It's so frustrating, so incredibly frustrating!"
