You're Really Using Cheats Like That?

"His Holiness the Bishop is dead." Bianka guiltily looked away.

"Because this person didn't deploy any troops for Otto," Prometheus complained, emerging from the crowd. "He just sent Otto alone to deal with the medium-sized Honkai with the Honkai Emperor."

"If Bronya remembers correctly, Bishop Otto's combat power is set to that of an ordinary person, right?" Bronya's eyes twitched.

What kind of fighting ability does a female Otto have?!

To be honest, if Bronya didn't know that Bianka was an honest person, she would now suspect that Bianka deliberately gave Otto away.

I was actually killed by a newbie in the game...

"Phew... Kalpas, you bastard..."

In the simulator next to him, Kevin started cursing as soon as he came out.

However, Kalpas next door nonchalantly ripped off the connecting device and completely ignored Kevin.

What kind of tactics can Kalpas use? Without a leader, he'll just rush in and explode against Kevin.

Kevin doesn't play the grand strategy game; the map itself is relatively small, only about half a province. Then, Kalpas didn't even bring the minions from the original setting, and directly charged in, completely stunning Kevin, who had prepared to use Tianhuo to clean up the mess as soon as Kalpas showed up.

In the end, the fight devolved into a chaotic brawl, but Kevin was even more shameless. He used the values from the completed Chimera Project and had his underlings harass the enemy, finally managing to defeat Kalpas.

However, the gaming experience is terrible.

I'm here to dominate newbies, not to get humiliated!

The others ignored Kevin. It has to be said that Kalpas's playstyle is the most correct. A large part of the reason why Kevin can kill indiscriminately is that the people who can withstand Kevin's physical strength cannot match Kevin command on the small map.

The commander is better than Kevin, but his combat ability is not good. In addition, Kevin is a map-clearing specialist, so the commander can't hold Kevin off. The commander is useless.

Instead of trying to balance things out, it's better to just confront them head-on with force. If Kalpas can hold Kevin back, and his underlings can come out and hold off Kevin's men, then there's a chance for a counterattack.

"I heard you swearing as soon as I walked in the house Kevin."

Liu Bai walked into the lounge and then glanced at Kevin's profile.

Well, this is just bullying people.

"Set the map to Eurasia, you take the Previous Era, I'll take the modern civilization, one in the east and one in the west, I'll play with you."

"... Teacher, do I look stupid?"

Kevin knew his own limitations; his tactics were alright, but his strategy was a complete mess.

Trying to operate on multiple fronts will definitely get you crushed.

I'll laugh at anyone who plays this game for a year.

"No matter how much you beat Kevin, Kevin won't awaken any more talents."

Su laughed beside her.

"However, Bianka might have more potential. I think your setup could be used for doubles, with Kevin and me against Rita and Bianka."

"That's unfair."

It's not really a doubles match; it's just Kevin and Sue playing against each other, with Rita just an extra.

Kevin, a veteran of countless battles.

Bianka, a warrior who has fought countless battles.

Sue, the second-in-command in the Moth Chasers to Fire.

Rita, Bianka's housekeeper, is a decent commander by ordinary standards, but she is no match for Su.

If this lineup is really in place, then Bianka will have to do all the work on the battlefield, while Rita will have to focus on internal affairs.

"Then I have a suggestion."

Mei led Mei in through the door and then adjusted the parameters at the control panel.

"Previous Era template, everyone participates in the war, people from the current civilization are randomly assigned identities, and teachers act as the Honkai Will."

In Mei's opinion, you guys really treat this thing like a massively multiplayer strategy game.

If you're going to come, come on a serious, big scale.

I'll take you through Honkai 3rd all over again.

"Huh... Teacher, you're going to become the Honkai Will?" Kevin was stunned.

Even in a game, are you sure this Honkai difficulty won't drive you to despair?

"Yes, and I will make Prometheus as realistic as possible... Of course, don't worry too much, it's just a game, the result doesn't matter."

In games, some things can really be seen as numbers, which can be considered as breaking free from certain constraints. Mei also wants to see her own limits.

Moreover, I'm currently preoccupied with the teacher, and it feels even worse than before. I need to find a way to adjust, and this kind of game is great.

It's just playing a game seriously, and it's even online with my teacher. There's no such thing as "forgetting about Liu Bai for the time being," which sounds impossible.

"Hmm~ Playing the Honkai Will, this is quite a novel role-playing experience."

Liu Bai found it somewhat interesting.

"Besides, the Herrscher has some at home, so no problem, let's call them. By the way, when do you want to start the game?"

It uses a template from Previous Era, not a map from Previous Era.

"Time... one month before the First Honkai Eruption."

"Then your difficulty level is too high." Liu Bai was somewhat surprised. At this point in time, even if the Honkai is not strong, his advantage is still too great—after all, he is playing the Honkai Will, and the course of the world is in his own hands.

The earlier you start, the more room you have to maneuver.

"It's okay, it's just to get everyone working together. Besides, it's just an online game, so you can't go easy on us, teacher."

Chapter 586 You're just using cheat codes like this?

"Welcome, Father."

After Liu Bai entered the simulation pod, he found himself in a magnificent golden hall, where a "Bronya" was already waiting for him.

"Wan Zang?" Liu Bai asked subconsciously, looking at the glittering golden architectural style.

"Father, what are you saying that makes no sense?"

This lukewarm response, coupled with the slight twitching of his eyebrows, seemed to already provide the answer.

"Next, I will explain the gameplay of Honkai 3rd to you."

"I'm all ears."

"Please look at the screen. This is the Honkai side core, Honkai strength and Herrscher progress."

Imaginary Archive began its explanation with a stiff face.

"As the name suggests, the former represents the intensity of the world's Honkai, while the latter determines when Herrscher can be produced. Moreover, both of these will only increase over time and will not decrease in any way."

Liu Bai glanced at it; the Honkai intensity was 1.00, and the Herrscher progress was 94%.

"The current tentative maximum Honkai strength is 10, and the maximum number of Herrscher is 14—of course, in this game, you can only create 13 Herrscher."

Okay, I completely understand. It goes without saying who's missing.

"Whenever the Herrscher progress reaches 100%, you must choose to create a Herrscher. The powers are limited to the known powers, and there is no order restriction. The order in which they appear is determined by you. As for the Herrscher, you can choose randomly or directly use the Herrscher from the current civilization."

Imaginary Archive is so well-behaved that Liu Bai is finding it a little strange.

Is there any concept of "randomness"?

"If it's random, we'll randomly select 1,000 people for you to choose from. The vast majority of them will be NPC characters generated in the game, but there's a small chance that human players will appear."

"... So you mean I'm lucky enough to even capture Mei and make her Herrscher?" Liu Bai felt that this setting was actually quite exciting.

"Yes, and in this game's setting, 'human Herrscher's are not allowed to appear until the human side has reached certain progress conditions."

"Hmm... let me guess, could it be that the human side has a decision called 'Sacrifice Elysia'?"

Liu Bai's lips twitched, feeling like he was starting to understand the game's logic—although this decision seemed a bit unethical.

"Sorry, Father, this part is not covered in the beginner's guide." Imaginary Archive rolled its eyes and continued, "By the way, if possible, please try to minimize the use of your powers to influence random results."

"I still have some gaming ethics... and if we're really going to cheat, it seems like Prometheus would be a more reliable accomplice, right?"

Prometheus rolled his eyes, completely unwilling to engage in the conversation.

"Next, please look at these secondary values: destruction level and despair level. Although they are secondary values, you will automatically win the game as long as either one reaches 100%. However, these two values will decrease due to the actions of the human side, so please be aware."

"Oh..."

"And as secondary values, these two will also affect the growth rate of the core values."

"Got it, it's basically about destroying the Herrscher." Liu Bai understood quickly. There were only four values in total, making it a very simple game.

"One more thing, as the Honkai side, you cannot have detailed control. You can only allocate Honkai weights to various parts of the world to increase the probability and scale of Honkai events."

Hmm... this setting is really well balanced.

If he could really Honkai his hand, Liu Bai estimated that he might be able to speedrun it in a year or two...

"So, you still got captured by Prometheus and his ilk?"

"Who told those bastards... Sorry, this is not within the scope of the tutorial."

Liu Bai abruptly changed the subject, Imaginary Archive almost didn't react in time.

Liu Bai looked at Imaginary Archive pretending to be an NPC and laughed somewhat wickedly.

This smile naturally did not escape the notice of Imaginary Archive, but Imaginary Archive's lips twitched twice before he looked away.

It's clear that Prometheus and his ilk gave a very thorough "education" on the Imaginary Archive.

"The tutorial ends here. Please begin your strategic actions."

Do you really think that the Imaginary Archive are willing to come?

Who would participate in this kind of activity if they weren't forced to?

After Prometheus exchanged equipment with Vil-V, he cornered the Imaginary Archive against the wall.

Imaginary Archive, unable to bear the memory, twitched the corner of his mouth.

If it weren't for the fact that he had ultimately broken away from the Prometheus sequence and that the God Key itself was well-protected, Imaginary Archive would have no doubt that the group of father-controlled AIs would directly brainwash him.

However, although she was prevented from being brainwashed into a father-controlled artificial intelligence, she ultimately fell into the hands of Prometheus. After realizing that there was no way to educate her in a "simple and quick" way, Prometheus and his companions decided to give her a long and arduous education through words and deeds.

If you don't do it well, just beat them up...

This time, most of Prometheus will be responsible for calculations, a few will appear as plot characters, and the rest will be her—since she didn't have a role in the Previous Era, they just threw her over here.

Well, connecting to this machine is equivalent to having every move of Imaginary Archive under Prometheus's surveillance, Imaginary Archive can only pretend to be a reformed and obedient girl.

Liu Bai stopped stimulating the Imaginary Archive and instead looked at the world map on the screen marked with the Honkai Weight.

Mei, Kevin, Sue, Fu Hua, Eden, Mobius...

Liu Bai quickly went through all the names in his mind.

He knew very well where his family came from.

Strike first to gain the upper hand?

No... it's difficult. Mei's gathering speed is definitely faster than the Honkai that I caused.

This game isn't actually that simple—just like you know very well the birthplace of your own people from the Previous Era, the headquarters of the Moth Chasers to Fire, and the special research base.

Mei also knows her family's contact information, such as phone numbers and email addresses.

Only those in modern civilization who were randomly assigned identities didn't have time to search.

As long as Mei doesn't make a mistake, she definitely won't let others roam freely, and she probably won't use places she knows as bases.

"Hmm... This time, should Mei choose to directly Moth Chasers to Fire a new bloodline, or should she establish a separate organization?"

None of that matters.

Liu Bai withdrew most of the Honkai weights from the vast majority of regions, adding them to research institutes and production bases that he considered quite important, and then allocated the rest to some densely populated areas.

However, the current values are too low, with the highest being only "low probability of minor Honkai".

We still have to wait for the Herrscher to appear before we can unleash our power...

And that's it. That's all I can do for now.
