Chapter 270

"You still don't seem to understand." MEI shook his head and said, "I just said that the first half of the game is relatively respectful of history, but the second half is a storyline that praises Otto based on historical facts."

"But both the former and the latter have one thing in common, which is that they are based on historical facts."

"So you could say that this is the basic tone of the game."

"That is, to make changes based on historical facts."

"Adaptation is not random fabrication, and interpretation is not nonsense."

"It's not like I can say whatever I want or change things however I want."

"If this hidden quest also fits this basic tone," MEI concluded, "Then it must have a historical prototype."

"But that doesn't exist in history," Wendy said, seeing Mei's response. "But you, Doctor, said it yourself."

"Yes, that's the problem." MEI pushed up his glasses and said, "The problem is whether this part of the plot is completely made up or has a historical prototype."

"If you're saying this is something that happened in the history of Area 11, then it definitely didn't."

"Due to administrative reasons, Area 11 does not need to do this kind of thing at this time."

"But if we make it up, it won't fit the tone of the game."

"Isn't that a contradiction?" Wendy said.

"It's not contradictory." MEI shook his head and said, "In fact, you can also misattribute things, based on history but not your own country's history. You can move events that happened in other countries here."

"This is a historical event, only it has been adapted from history."

"It's historical, and it's also playful."

"It feels like I'm just fooling myself," Wendy complained.

'Are you just fooling yourself?' MEI stood up, poured herself a cup of milk tea, and poured Wendy a cup of milk tea as well, saying, 'You can just continue with this task.'

"I'll tell you which specific level you're at and which dialogue options to choose."

Wendy didn't say much, although she felt that MEI's long explanation seemed pointless. But since it was the professor's request, she would just follow along.

Although I don't really like having someone constantly nagging next to me while I'm playing games.

But this is a PhD student!

Wendy still wants her Valkyrie armor.

MEI mentor Wendy's next move.

Historically, and according to the established narrative, Kallen did indeed do something that was related to this Pardon Scroll.

If we change the Pardon Scroll " to "atonement sacrifice," it all makes perfect sense.

The rampant practice of 'atonement sacrifices' in this region's history, which ultimately became an important means for the religious class to amass wealth, was also a significant reason for the rise of 'religious reformation' and 'secular power'.

The initial reason for the excessive offering of atonement sacrifices was the failure of the Eastern Expedition.

The expedition to the east encountered the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful Eastern nation at the time.

In the battle against the Ming Dynasty, the Papacy suffered a crushing defeat.

The first major consequence of the disastrous defeat was the complete loss of the funds invested in the Eastern Expedition, leading to a severe financial crisis. To overcome this crisis, the Papacy resorted to excessive Yom Kippur sacrifices.

This ultimately led to a series of negative consequences.

Coincidentally, Kallen had just experienced all of this, from being tricked into going on the Eastern Expedition to witnessing the disastrous consequences of the abuse of atonement sacrifices, and the despicable acts of those parasites who used atonement sacrifices to amass wealth for themselves.

They also witnessed the unbearable suffering of the lower classes.

This sparked her thinking.

Of course, constrained by the historical perspective and humanistic thought of the time, she could not possibly awaken to any Marxist, Maoist, or Leninist ideas and actions instantly. Nor could she awaken to such ideas later, and she could not play any role in social change.

But Kallen wanted to do something in her own way, to fight corruption, and to fight for the rights of the people.

She chose 'Hero Mode'.

Robin Hood!

This is the reason for the appearance of "Sixth Fantasy" in the game, and it is also the beginning of the world where Kallen is regarded as a heretic and traitor by the Holy See and is hunted down by the Holy See, forcing her to go to the East.

It was a very important historical event.

In contrast to Kallen and Otto.

When I played MEI before, I wondered why Otto didn't include this period of time. It's because this period of time did indeed play a positive and constructive role.

You can openly praise yourself without distorting history.

However, he specifically chose the storyline after Kallen's escape.

Because of these events, historical evaluations of him are mixed.

At first, MEI thought Otto would turn this part of history into a prequel and release it again.

I never expected Otto to arrange it in this place.

That's really interesting!

MEI guided Wendy to unlock this hidden storyline by following what she thought were the correct options. Basically, this hidden storyline is that period of history.

You even get a hidden reward after the game ends.

The hidden reward is Sixth Fantasy.

"It looks like..." MEI said, rubbing her chin, "Otto won't be getting a prequel."

"Huh?" Wendy seemed not to understand.

"It's nothing," MEI shook his head and said, "Here's a task for you."

"All the hidden quests and Easter eggs in this game."

"Find them all out!"

"I want to see!"

"Huh?!" Wendy exclaimed in surprise!

This... this is quite a project! Although she enjoys playing games, if a game becomes a task, then the fun of the game is gone!

"What?" MEI pushed up his glasses and said, "Aren't you happy about it?"

"No, no, no~" Wendy immediately changed her mind and said, "I'd love to."

This was a task personally assigned by Lord MEI.

Does Wendy feel like refuting this?

Whether you like it or not, you have to agree!

You have to be willing!

Look at Wendy...

They were laughing so happily!

Doctor~

I want to play games!

At this time, on the Hyperion.

"You guys aren't asleep yet?"

Mei had just finished her final training mission, returned to her dormitory and found herself surrounded by three cultivators!

Kiana, K423, and Bronya!

They're each having a great time playing on their own computers.

Um...

They'd probably be even happier if they ignored their dark circles.

"We're having a competition, you know," K423 said, a little defiant. "I've already found tons of hidden quests and Easter eggs!"

"We can't lose! We absolutely can't lose!"

"Compete?" Mei asked while drying her hair. "What are you competing in?"

"It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I've been watching you guys play games since yesterday."

"Be careful not to die suddenly from playing for so long!"

"Make sure you get enough rest."

Mei's words carried a hint of disappointment and frustration; these guys had started playing games like crazy a few days ago. What games were they playing?

I'm playing "Kallen Fantasy".

Mei probably knows why they play this game.

Because Mom is playing too.

But Mei really had no idea what they were arguing about!

"Hmph." K423 snorted and said, "You really don't know the suffering of those without mothers! Why did your mother send you to Changkong City instead of us?"

"I don't know either," Mei shook her head and said, "I don't think I've done anything."

The mission regarding Changkong City.

Mei felt like she had only played a minor role from beginning to end and hadn't accomplished anything.

"We felt this must be related to the game," Bronya said. "So we decided to see if we could find any clues in the game."

"Maybe next time there's a mission, Mom will call us to go."

'Because of Kallen.'

Yae Sakura said within Mei's sea of consciousness, "It seems to be because of this mission."

'This game wasn't as simple as I thought.'

After Mei's consciousness took over, Yae Sakura didn't fall asleep but quietly observed the world from the sidelines. Seeing the situation, she immediately guessed something and said, 'It seems to have a lot to do with Kallen.'

'What does that have to do with this game?' Mei already knows some things.

This Yae Sakura is my mother's lover from a past life.

Moreover, in her past life, her mother had an ambiguous relationship with Otto.

Although I always felt that my dad's head was covered in green.

But she was a little confused; what did this have to do with the game?

"Did you notice the Easter eggs they found?" Yae Sakura asked.

"I think I've noticed that before," Mei said.

"Those Easter eggs and hidden quests didn't actually happen in Yae Village," Yae Sakura said. "If Otto didn't just make them up to increase gameplay, then Kallen must have really done them."

Although Yae Sakura is not very proficient in modern technology and doesn't play games.

I can't play, but I can watch!

I can still watch the plot and videos!

Kiana, K423, and Bronya unlocked many hidden missions and easter eggs.

I always take a look at Yae Sakura.

"Otto said it before," Yae Sakura said, "That he invited me to join him, saying we should work together to bring Kallen back to this era. How to bring Kallen back."

' Otto didn't tell me directly, but I knew that to bring Kallen back, I had to find all of Kallen's soul fragments first.'

"So you mean this is Lord Otto's game of finding soul fragments?" Mei asked.

"I can't really say," Yae Sakura said. "But I think they've uncovered so many hidden quests and easter eggs."

' Otto should be getting restless; he'll likely come looking for me.'

'Or I'll let you pass.'
