Global Evolution: I Super Double Up on my evolution-Chapter 558 - 266 Everything is over! The grand finale!_1
Three minutes can feel short or long.
When short, it passes in the blink of an eye.
But when long, each second can feel like a year, making the wait agonizing.
At this moment, Su Yan was definitely feeling the latter. The establishment of the NPC position, something he had mulled over countless times, was finally about to happen after such a long wait.
Who exactly was the mysterious superior spoken of by those Mythical creatures? Why did he require them to occupy territory as a condition to establish an NPC? Was it to construct challenge maps in preparation for the future arrival of players?
Su Yan was very curious about this. In just a few short seconds, many possibilities flashed through his mind, all speculations based on web novels he had read in his previous life. There was a considerable chance he was right, but the truth would be revealed in three minutes.
As time kept passing, three minutes soon went by, and it was precisely noon.
Su Yan braced himself with utmost focus, tensing every nerve and remaining vigilant of his surroundings, not missing even the slightest rustle of wind. However, several seconds passed, and the environment around him remained calm, with no significant event occurring as he had imagined.
What's going on? Why has nothing happened? Could it be that the Mythical creatures' claim about it being precisely noon was also just nonsense? But... their accounts were too consistent... It didn't seem like a lie at all...
Before he knew it, Su Yan was lost in thought again. Just then, several system messages suddenly popped up in the depths of his mind.
[The Playful Mountains and Rivers Classics beta testing is over.]
[Respected beta tester, please provide feedback on your game experience to improve and perfect the game.]
[Phase One: Establishment of game NPCs]
[Phase Two: Construction of game maps]
[Phase Three: Perfection of the game's world view]
What is this situation!? Seeing the system messages deep in his mind, Su Yan's heart suddenly surged with shock.
Beta tester? NPC establishment? Map construction? Worldview perfection? Could it be... that the mysterious superior mentioned by those Mythical creatures is actually myself?
Thinking this, Su Yan couldn't help but feel shocked and also found it incredibly frustrating.
Had he been on guard all this time, only for it to be for naught? Was he matching wits with thin air the whole time? This... is simply hard to accept.
As he thought about it, Su Yan couldn't help but doubt his life, feeling that this world was just too messed up.
But soon, he calmed down and began to ponder whether this world he was in was truly just a game. The interactions between people all seemed so natural, not at all like NPCs programmed by a computer.
If this really is just a game, isn't that a bit of a stretch? How could a game's interactions be this realistic?
While Su Yan was thinking these thoughts, several more system messages suddenly appeared in the depths of his mind.
[The NPC establishment phase of the game begins. Please select NPCs from among the existing species of Mythical creatures in the game, with a maximum quota of 100.]
[Existing Mythical creatures in the game:]
[Human race: Su Yan, Qin Cong, Li Tianyi, Okomonoezuo, Wozhumazhen, Hoshino Mayuko, Candwol Scholler...]
[Demonic Plant: Tree Spirit, Flower Spirit, Grass Spirit, World Tree, Planar Flower, Reincarnation Grass...]
[Mythical beasts: Sword-Backed Ape, Black Flame Phoenix, Nine Heavens Dragon, Colorful-bearded whale, Eternal Turtle, Blood-Bathed Kirin...] 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
[Yin entities: Millennium Succubus, Ten-Thousand-Year Water Ghost, Earth-Slaying Ghost General...]
Su Yan quickly scanned the contents of the prompts, his gaze eventually settling on the list of Mythical creature names. There were over a hundred names, many of which were unfamiliar to him. Among these, the names in the Human and Demonic Plant categories drew his attention. He noticed something amiss.
As far as he knew, his three sisters, as well as Old Shu and the Flower God themselves, were all guaranteed to be of Mythical Level Category without exception. However, their names were not in the current notification! This was obviously quite unreasonable!
[Please establish an NPC position]
The System once again sent a prompt, urging Su Yan to quickly establish an NPC. Su Yan didn't think too much and directly chose his own name. His plan was to test the waters with himself first to see what this so-called establishment of an NPC position was all about.
[Character Selection: Su Yan]
[Selection Successful]
[Range Selection: The entire game, the whole Earth, continent, country, province/city, within a hundred miles, within ten miles...]
Range selection... It should refer to the NPC level... This likely explained why those Mythical creatures had previously occupied specific territories...
Thinking this, Su Yan unhesitatingly chose "the entire game."
[Range Selection: The entire game]
[Selection Successful]
[Acquired the exclusive skills of the highest-level NPC: Infinite resurrection, eternal life]
Infinite resurrection... Eternal life...
When Su Yan saw these two exclusive NPC skills, he was suddenly completely overwhelmed. Was he happy? He was indeed quite happy. But! Compared to happiness, what he felt more at this moment was a sense of being utterly screwed.
Thinking back to those days of over half a year of mental lethargy, he felt like a fool! Back then, to have enough life to improve his own margin for error when the anomaly struck, he had to engage in affectionate behavior with Jiu Li every day. The investment was massive. However! The life those efforts had bought now seemed like a joke in the face of the skills "infinite resurrection" and "eternal life." He felt like he was about to burst into tears of laughter.
"Utterly speechless," Su Yan commented helplessly.
Then, the very next moment, his updated biological information panel suddenly popped up in the depths of his mind.
[Name]: Su Yan
[Identity]: NPC
[Race]: Human
[Level]: Mythical
[Skills]: Throw Tomato, Pour Cold Water, Cappuccino, sending flowers, Tear Inducing Technique, gaseous state, Advanced Strong Power, Advanced Healing, infinite resurrection, eternal life...
Su Yan merely glanced at it, then quickly closed the panel, refocusing his attention on the NPC establishment. He pondered for a while but couldn't think of any suitable candidates. In the end, he tried to see if he could skip this NPC position establishment phase and just set himself as the sole NPC. To his surprise, it actually worked!
As the owner of the System, he felt that one NPC was enough for this game world. Just as he had this thought, another System message suddenly popped up in the depths of his mind.
[There are ten years left until the arrival of the players. As the only NPC in the game, please do your best to perfect the game during this period to provide a good gaming experience for the players.]
"Perfect the game world? Am I still an NPC? Are you sure I'm not a universally despised game developer?"
Looking at the content of the System message that popped up in his mind, Su Yan felt incredibly speechless. But rather quickly, the speechless expression on his face vanished, replaced by a look of relief. The anomaly had truly ended, and Earth could finally return to peace.
But... Thinking of this, Su Yan's expression became serious again. Although the anomaly had ended, many unknown questions still troubled him.
For example: What exactly is the System? Why did I transmigrate in the first place? Who developed this game?
These various doubts were what he needed to thoroughly investigate over the next ten years.
