This Is Not a Bug but a Game Feature-Chapter 94 - 93: Gaming? Binge-Watching! (Part 2)

Don’t say anything!

When the Hero started taking it easy and enabled free action mode for each NPC teammate, life clearly got better.

In the past, it was all about grinding monsters and dungeons, accumulating materials while having to meticulously decide who to use them on; a single gold coin could get split in half.

But now, it’s great!

Each NPC has their own path, whether it’s deceit and scams or cozying up to a wealthy woman, the Hero doesn’t need to worry about them at all.

They even periodically send the Hero some ’retirement funds,’ it’s simply awesome.

The only downside might be.

In this game, the Hero seems to have become quite superfluous. It seems like these NPCs can defeat the Demon King and enjoy their lives just fine without the Hero?

Oh no, I’ve become a placeholder!

When players discovered that NPC teammates were more reliable than the Hero, and they could switch to an NPC teammate’s perspective, a new gameplay style was born...

Following the episodes mode!

Lock the perspective on an NPC teammate in ’free action’ mode, then grab a bucket of instant noodles and watch their colorful otherworldly experiences—how is this not more interesting than just playing the game?

NPCs on free mode fight tirelessly with ’becoming stronger’ as their goal.

Because of the love and hate between NPCs, when a player locks perspective on one, it becomes like watching an otherworldly anime.

The ups and downs of the plot, the gripping storyline, aside from the lack of necessary dialogue and voice-over, the viewing experience is just like a Chaplin silent film.

Qian Xin was the first to realize this.

When he discovered that NPCs in free action mode had interesting trajectories and experiences that unknowingly became addictive, he had an idea.

Since the NPCs in Divine Grace Continent are so intelligent, and they have love and hate among each other...

Wouldn’t choosing an appropriately fitting target NPC, and enabling free mode, allow one to see a ’fresh and extraordinary’ otherworldly silent film?

Once this idea appeared, he became instantly interested.

So, after a careful and meticulous selection, he chose a 16-year-old NPC named ’Jen’ and recorded a video with him as the main perspective.

[Jen’s Adventure Episode 1: Young Hero!]

"Divine Grace Continent, Human Kingdom."

"In the remote Cyan Mountain Town lives the Jen family. Due to his parents being bottom-tier peasants, living in poverty, the 16-year-old Jen decided to leave home and embark on adventures in the outside world..."

The opening narration was voiced by Qian Xin himself, mainly introducing Jen’s background and story.

Then it gets into the main topic.

In the footage, the boy with the word ’Jen’ above his head arrives at the bustling royal capital, unexpectedly meets the Hero, and receives encouragement and help from the Hero.

The Hero was too popular!

Jen admired the Hero greatly, he wanted to be a man like the Hero, so he went to Mr. Johnny’s blacksmith shop and begged Mr. Johnny to take him in as an apprentice.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The hammer strikes the glowing red iron ingot, scattering a string of sparks, though the slender Jen wielded the hammer with some difficulty, he still tirelessly hammered away...

"Amazing!"

Holding a bucket of instant noodles, Zhong Shengwei and Lu watched with great interest, not noticing Ba behind them, who quietly sighed: "If you didn’t call this game footage, I’d think it’s an otherworldly new release!"

"Stop with the awkward jesting, this footage clearly looks like a game, animation characters aren’t this crude and stiff..."

As they chatted, the young Jen had already mastered basic blacksmith techniques, won Mr. Johnny’s approval, and received a hammer as a weapon for protection.

With hammer in hand, Jen excitedly went to the wilderness and defeated a vicious demonized wild boar.

This was his first fight.

At this time, while battling at the blacksmith shop and taking on various monsters, Jen’s strength gradually increased.

Finally, the time for departure arrived.

Longing for a wider world, Jen bade farewell to Mr. Johnny, and arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild.

Here, he met a red-haired girl with freckles named Vivian.

Jen fell in love.

But Vivian seemed not to fancy Jen, indifferent to his pursuit, she was more fond of the mighty Hero...

Time changes everything.

Through constant life-risking adventures, two years later, Jen became a shining star at the Adventurer’s Guild and won Vivian’s acknowledgment.

The two embraced each other tightly.

Though not yet married, Vivian already considered Jen the most important person to her, following him wherever he went.

Jen gained his first partner.

As his strength grew, the monsters he faced became tougher, and many times he found himself in hard fights.

But he pulled through every time!

Not only that, he and Vivian naturally fell into, becoming husband and wife. Just when everything seemed to be improving, unexpectedly a suddenly appearing elite monster caused him to lose Vivian...

Wow, that’s hard to bear!

Lu and Zhong Shengwei watched intently, especially as Vivian died at the monster’s hands, their eyes nearly filled with tears.

"How come it stopped?"

"Didn’t the title say so? Episode one, there surely must be a second and third episode coming up..."

Lu thought Zhong Shengwei was the one asking, casually replied, and after speaking only realized, Ba somehow came over to his side.

"Episode one?"

Hearing this, Chen Ba was too lazy to bother about Lu shirking work, pointing at the screen, asking: "You mean to say, this thing is actually a long series?"
