Chapter 513

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave now. I won't disturb your sadness any longer."

"... Ha, really."

Kevin, now relaxed, picked up the memory chip, inserted it into his computer, and began looking at the files on it.

After only reading one page, Kevin, who only had a high school education, was able to figure it out.

Lin Yu said he wanted to resign, but he still protected the world in his own way.

Over the years, Welt had mentioned extraterrestrial visitors to Kevin and Sue.

Although those contingency plans were designed for Lin Yu, they could also be converted into plans for extraterrestrial visitors at any time.

However, in the plan that Lin Yu gave me, he clearly mentioned some things that Welt didn't know.

Well then... never mind.

Since he has this intention, it wouldn't be a problem to help him again.

The battle against the Honkai is indeed over.

But our battle continues.

After delivering several copies of the project proposal to the appropriate individuals, Lin Yu gave the last proposal to Welt, who was still being pressured by Tesla to work overtime, before heading alone to the rooftop of the Chiba Academy.

Looking down from above, as a gentle breeze blew by, Lin Yu felt his heart enter a state of tranquility.

Actually, there was another reason why he wanted to consolidate his Dominion Theater.

When he realized that the Dominion Theater could even collect the consciousness of ordinary people, Lin Yu actually had an idea.

My Mom Dad only been dead for a little over two years, so if their consciousness is still alive...

This possibility is definitely not zero.

With this thought in mind, Lin Yu continued to search for his parents within his consciousness, but in the end, he was disappointed.

One's parents are ultimately just ordinary people, and the consciousness of ordinary people dissipates extremely quickly and with a frighteningly high probability.

The miracle didn't happen...

Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, your son is useless. I couldn't bring back the lives you shouldn't have lost.

But that's precisely why I hope the world can become a better place with fewer tragedies.

From the Ji Ran I received these plans, materials, and technologies from Ji Ran, I knew he must have prepared these things long ago.

He was helping people in other parts of the world as much as he could, which seemed like foolish behavior, but it was a foolishness that others could admire.

However... I don't have the same energy as him to solve problems in other worlds right now.

Although the phenomenon of Honkai in this world has completely disappeared, tragedies continue to occur.

Wherever there are people, there will inevitably be conflict, and the constant fighting among humans will ultimately lead to more tragedies.

In the past, I didn't have enough ability, so naturally I wouldn't have thought about these things.

But things are different now.

I have the power to make the world a better place, and I also have the technology that Ji Ran gave me.

If you have the ability to make the world a better place, then...

—At least until the tragedies in the world become scarce, I'd better not take a break.

Simply by sacrificing your personal time, you can make the world a better place.

Is there any more profitable business in the world?

This path may be difficult and bring me a lot of trouble, but...

—Hey, I even persisted in fighting for control of the Cocoon of Finality, so compared to this, these things are nothing.

My parents are gone, but that's precisely why I want fewer people to suffer the same tragedy as me.

However, after Tong left, I've been too busy to try it...

As the thought arose, Lin Yu suddenly discovered that he could still summon the system panel, which was somewhat useful but not particularly useful, just like before.

Then, the moment the system panel popped up, Lin Yu saw a message.

[To my not-so-cute host, Lin Yu:]

Although this system has left you, the underlying mechanisms it left behind are still performing a judgment.

According to this judgment mechanism, you have now successfully won.

[Now, congratulations! And—it's time for the lottery, host.]

[In this system's judgment mechanism, as long as you meet the completion requirements for a world, you will receive a special lottery ticket.]

[This is the last lottery draw. From now on... hey, this system's too lazy for sad talk. Just live well, my friend.]

Your loyal friend

[A hastily put together Narration System, just for reference.]

"Thank you so much, Commander."

After taking out the [Level Clearance Lottery Ticket] and drawing a prize, Lin Yu saw a golden ticket emitting a deep red light float down from the sky in front of him.

[Special Equipment - Star Trail Special Ticket]

[Item Description - An item for traveling to a new world. Using it will allow you to move to a new world and appear in a safe area.]

[PS: The final interpretation of whether this system is secure rests with this system.]

"Ha, I really don't know what to say about this prop."

Looking at the ticket in front of him, Lin Yu put it away, of course not intending to use it on himself right now.

Although the ticket didn't explicitly state which new world it was, Lin Yu felt he already knew the answer based on the incredibly familiar props.

The world won't stop functioning without one person, but to make the world a better place, I'll definitely finish what I need to do here before deciding whether to take action.

But then again, it's already early morning.

"Hello, world."

After whispering these words, Lin Yu suddenly leaned against the rooftop wall and peacefully closed his eyes.

While we strive to make the world a better place, before this massive project even begins...

—Let me close my eyes and take a long-awaited nap.

.

First of all, the author's closing remarks are divided into many parts because there are too many things I want to write about. The parts that have been finalized so far are: the protagonist's character design, the analysis of the protagonist's skill acquisition strategy, the character positioning and writing strategy (Parts 1 & 2), the character positioning and writing strategy (Otto's special chapter), the source of the references and famous scenes, the clarification of some settings, the statistics of secondary settings in this book, the plot strategy analysis, and the miscellaneous thoughts in the closing remarks.

It's unlikely I'll post it all at once; I'll just post it as I write it.

This chapter focuses on collecting the main character's character design and original setting, with some explanations and conceptual ideas as supplementary information.

This chapter has 13,000 words. Since it's not the Trailblaze Chapter, it doesn't count as the 20,000-word update that was promised for today.

Because it's so long and contains so much personal content, it's really not something you can use to pass the time. It's the kind of thing I would only recommend if you're genuinely interested.

Also, although those who have seen the finale should not be harmed, if anyone has a habit of reading the epilogue first, then to avoid harming innocent people, I still have to say something here.

If you're an extreme Otto fan who's been touting Otto the Great as protecting the world for 500 years, then please stop watching. Seriously, let's just leave each other alone.

The following is the main text.

Let me first give you a brief background that is unrelated to Lin Yu but also not very relevant to this book.

After finishing the book about running dungeons last year, I was seriously considering whether to ride the wave of the railway craze or continue writing Honkai.

As a result of the relaxation after the series ended, I slacked off for a while, even though I was planning to capitalize on the popularity of the railway series.

Then, before I even started writing my new book, I discovered—oh my god, all my buddies crashed.

Anyway, I only saw two or three books that jumped on the bandwagon when the railway game was launched, which scared me so much that I immediately abandoned the railway-themed idea I was going to write.

Upon closer reflection, it makes sense. While some fanfiction writers, including myself, have the ability to develop stories based on the original worldview and character settings, this doesn't mean that everyone's original creative ability is strong.

There's not much to write about when the railway server opens: the space station and Belobog, plus the unfinished Immortal Ship, which makes up two and a half maps. There's practically nothing to write about. Everyone was just trying to freeload from the start, so heavy casualties are the norm.

For this very reason, I'm not optimistic about the major battle that will inevitably erupt after the release of Zenless Zone Zero in this year. In reality, it's too difficult. If you ride the hype for half the book and it collapses, you might as well just stick to writing a book that could have been written as a long-running series.

For the reasons mentioned above, the next book will most likely be Honkai 3rd, Railway is less likely, and Zenless Zone Zero is basically out of the question.

I will absolutely not touch Genshin Impact. According to research by other guys in the group, there are very few Genshin Impact books in Hedgehog Cat for various reasons that I don't understand.

As someone who writes fanfiction to ride the wave of popularity, I'm bound to write about popular themes. Now that Genshin Impact has become a niche theme, it's basically impossible for me to consider writing about it anymore.

Thinking back, Genshin Impact was quite popular before, so why did things turn out this way...?

Then comes what happened after the railway-themed idea was lost.

This involves an idea that came to me in April, before I finished running the dungeon, when I was mopping the floor.

The original idea was to merge characters from the Previous Civilization and the current era into one era, change their settings, and have people from both eras fight against the Honkai together.

The protagonist originally conceived was not the current Lin Yu, but a character Li Pu.

The name Li Pu implies that this is a story written by the Herrscher of Reason, but it also carries a second meaning: that this person himself is quite outrageous [referring to the intensity].

Therefore, the original setting was that Li Pu had one-third of the Herrscher of Reason Core, while the other two-thirds were in Old Yang and Joyce was still alive.

By the way, in the book where Li Pu is the protagonist, Otto is set up as the strategist of the protagonist group. At that time, it was set up that if Kallen was not dead, he would definitely help Kallen, and Kallen would definitely help her brothers [yes, Kevin and Siegfried were set up as Kallen's cousins].

Later, when I told everyone that I was going to take leave to lose weight, it was true, but at that time I was already thinking about how to write this book.

After writing a few chapters, I realized something was wrong.

Whether I liked it or not after writing it is another matter, but at the time I always had a feeling that 'this book seems troublesome to write and won't make money.'

So after writing a few more chapters, I still didn't publish it. The book release date that I had promised everyone was also postponed for a while, which meant that I didn't get the renewal bonus that I had to sign a contract within two months. It was the most heartbreaking episode.

As you all know, I later wrote this book, so Li Pu couldn't be the main character anymore. Instead, he came to Shenzhou to play the role of a sword immortal.

Although he is a minor character with little screen time in this book, his talent is supposed to be very strong in my setting. So, after learning the Tai Xu Sword Qi for a few months, he was able to easily kill Emperor-class, and his strength continued to improve.

Now that the previous events have been covered, the scene shifts back to Lin Yu.

The name Lin Yu actually came about because when I was thinking about my new book, I suddenly heard a song called "Walk in the Rain," and I used the first two characters as the protagonist's name. This is also why Lin Yu mentioned in the story that his real name in this world is Lin Yu.

This name embodies my hope that the story of Lin Yu (the protagonist) will continue.

As it turned out, when I got to the middle of the writing process, I realized something was wrong. This wasn't walking; it was sprinting all the way.

Regarding the character design, Lin Yu's character design in the first chapter was not yet finalized. At the time, I was considering whether to follow the Schicksal route or the Anti-Entropy route. Of course, the World Serpent route was also an option, but the difficulty was a bit hard to determine.

The character settings were not finalized until the second chapter.

Firstly, his status as Rita's sworn brother destined him to be a man of Schicksal.

Then there's age, so he can't be older Rita.

Later, someone pointed out that Lin Yu's birthday in the first chapter was incorrect. It was originally set to January 1, 1998, but I only noticed it when a comment appeared saying, "You're not even eighteen yet..."

This guy is right. Why would I be so stupid?

Then I changed it back to 1996.1.1, but this caused a bug. I didn't realize there was still a problem until I changed the protagonist's birthday setting for the second time in Chapter 59, which was very eventful.

Continuing on, after establishing the protagonist's identity as Rita's adopted brother, I inevitably faced a major problem.

The protagonist of the previous work Ji Ran, only had the identity of an ordinary citizen of Shenzhou given to him by the system in the Honkai world. At the beginning of the Honkai world, he could be said to have no interpersonal connections.

But Lin Yu is different. Since he is set as Rita's sworn brother, he must face one thing: is this a soul transmigration or a physical transmigration?

I can't really explain the differences between these two in just a few words, but I know that if they're not handled properly, problems will arise.

So, to avoid pacing while still making writing easier, I set it up like this now—I arrived a long time ago, but for some reason I forgot my past experiences.

Oh right, after this concept was created, it wasn't yet decided which core the protagonist would take; that was something that was gradually finalized later.
