This Is Not a Bug but a Game Feature-Chapter 284 - 188: The Patchwork Monster Wearing Human Skin
After solving the food issue, Chen Yun finally gained a tiny bit of ability to protect himself.
But that’s far from enough.
Living in such a chaotic and disorderly era, getting stronger is the only pursuit. Only by becoming stronger can he protect the people around him.
The weak have no right to survive.
His sister, Chen Jia, has been frail since childhood. Despite wanting to go out on adventures with her brother and not wanting to be left behind, she is constantly rejected by Chen Yun.
"It doesn’t matter if I die, but you must live!"
After saying this, Chen Yun kept his sister in the safe zone, while he took on tasks and ventured solo into the wilderness where fierce beasts roam.
He loves his sister dearly.
Perhaps it’s because, with the passing of their parents, his sister is now his only family in this world, so no matter what, he couldn’t let her follow him on adventures.
"He’s a good brother!"
While playing, Pan Yang noticed a small detail: after every battle Chen Yun finishes, as he lights a campfire to recover his wounds and vigor, he always takes out a photo of his sister from his pocket.
He takes a quick look and then hastily puts away the photo, reviving at full strength, and setting off again on his journey to search for or hunt fierce beasts and spirit monsters.
This detail made Pan Yang, an only child, feel very envious and moved.
Yet what he didn’t expect was.
Because her brother never took her on outings, Chen Jia had developed a rift with him, always feeling like her brother would abandon her, as if there was a wall between them.
"Why are you misunderstanding like this?"
When Pan Yang saw this, he was so angry his nostrils almost got crooked.
Chen Yun was fighting tirelessly in the wilderness, wasn’t it all for the sake of protecting Chen Jia and giving her a better life? But this behavior ended up creating a rift between them?
Fine, you insist on coming along, huh?
Pan Yang thought, since his sister wanted so much to follow him, then just take her along! At most, during adventurous times, he needed to be mindful not to let her get caught up in the battles.
But this sister is really...
The first time he took his sister on a wilderness adventure, Pan Yang finally understood why Chen Yun so strongly opposed having his sister follow him in the storyline.
This is just too much of a burden!
Even if you take a tagalong during battle, the issue is this tagalong not only doesn’t help but actually increases the difficulty for the protagonist.
In one moment, Chen Yun was battling evenly with a wild boar fierce beast. The next, his sister had drawn a second beast over to them on her own.
Game over! Team wipe!
After reloading the previous save, Pan Yang had a face as dark as ink, and amid the laughter of the live-stream viewers, made the decision most fitting to the character.
Dear sister, just stay at home obediently! This adventure stuff is really not suitable for you; I can go alone...
This time, no matter what, he’s not taking his sister along.
The game’s battle difficulty is already quite high, and the wilderness is very dangerous; taking along a burden with a purely negative effect is just asking for trouble!
"Once my strength increases in the future, I might consider taking my sister with me. But for now, forget it; I’m already walking on thin ice by myself, how can I take another burden?"
Pan Yang felt that at this stage, he couldn’t spoil his sister by having her follow him out.
The main issue is that at this early stage, the protagonist’s evolution level isn’t high, and his power isn’t strong, barely being able to protect himself, let alone others.
"Oh no, the sister’s going to turn to the dark side!"
"Let her have a tantrum then; it’s truly too dangerous outside to bring her along. Old Pan is doing the right thing."
"Speaking of which, does the sister have any special abilities at all? Even if she can’t fight, couldn’t she be an assistant?"
"It seems not, the sister’s too weak physically, can’t even be a mascot, let alone an assistant..."
The live chat was buzzing with viewers giving Pan Yang suggestions.
Someone proposed trying to train the sister, take her out for some leveling, what if she’s a deeply hidden genius?
"Really don’t!"
Pan Yang replied speechlessly: "It’s already so difficult for me to boost my own abilities, bringing along a burden would turn it from easy mode to hell mode."
First take care of himself, then worry about the sister!
Pan Yang took a look at his evolution level, deciding that hunting a few more fierce beasts would likely allow him to evolve to another stage.
Evolving once allows awakening a special ability, a new skill that was leaked in earlier trial versions, significantly boosting strength.
By then, taking his sister might just work, since after awakening his skills, protagonist Chen Yun’s power wouldn’t be so weak anymore.
"Speaking of..."
"Evolution levels are so hard to accumulate! Besides hunting fierce beasts and spirit monsters, are there other ways to gain evolution levels?" Pan Yang wondered aloud.
Global Evolution is a game whose core gameplay revolves around evolution, accumulating evolution levels, then completing life’s evolutionary stages, gaining greater power.
Evolution level from 0% to 100%.
Reaching 100% allows a stage evolution, after which the level resets to zero, starting over.
This logic somewhat mimics the "one-turn two-turn" mechanism found in many old online games.
The more evolution stages completed, the more special abilities awakened, and these abilities gain significant enhancements, leading to a leap in strength.
Cross-level battles simply don’t exist in Global Evolution.
At 1% evolution level in stage one, the protagonist can wrestle with a fierce beast or NPC at 99% evolution level of the same stage, but facing a stage two evolver, he’d only suffer passive beatings and massacre.
This is a crush stemming from the difference in life hierarchy.
After one evolution, although the gap isn’t as exaggerated as turning from an ant to an elephant, it’s equivalent to evolving from a flea to an ant.
