This Is What "Until Death Do Us Part" Means!
In the group chat, Xiao Aotian kept calling out to Yang Shan: "@Yang Shan! You beast, you beast! Two days, it's been two days!"
"You promised to talk to me about Black Moon Ridge."
Is Yue Mei really that moisturizing?
Are snakes fun?
"Damn it, how come my Hua She'er only has fifty points of favorability?"
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
Yang Shan: "Don't make a fuss, let me finish my business first and then we can talk slowly."
Xiao Aotian: "Damn it! You've been dealing with Yue Mei for two days already! Women only slow down your sword-wielding speed!"
Yang Shan: "What do you know! Am I, the Blade Sovereign, the kind of person who's obsessed with beautiful women? I'm helping Yue Mei transform!"
Xiao Aotian: "Transform my ass! I don't believe you for a second!"
A few seconds later, Xiao Aotian sent another message: "Holy crap! You're not using the Serpent-People tribe's secret technique to help Yue Mei's bloodline advance, are you? No, isn't Yue Mei Water Attribute? Where did you get this Strange Water?"
Yang Shan posted a screenshot of the Ten Thousand Serpent Spirit Flower in the group.
Xiao Aotian was stunned:
"There's such a good thing? Where did you get it?"
Su Yitang: "Our boss just came back from Central Plains, where else could he be doing this? Humph! I've been saying all day that our boss isn't Big Head Son, Small Head Dad, and you still didn't believe me!"
Yu Feifei: "I believe it, I've always believed it!"
Lucky Poison Hand: "Damn, Yue Mei, Water Snake, how succulent is that? I can't even imagine! Mycelium Bro got his hands on Yue Mei, and he really just wanted to cultivate her?"
Xiao Aotian: "Is Central Plains really that rich? You can get Seventh Order rare spiritual item just by going there!"
Yi Qingyang: "Central Plains is indeed very wealthy. I feel like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden."
Ye Suifeng: "@Yi Qingyang, you're making it sound like you've actually been there."
Yi Qingyang: "I am currently in Central Plains."
Ye Suifeng: "???"
Xiao Aotian: "You, Yi Qingyang! What happened to our plan to challenge Mycelium Bro together?"
Yi Qingyang: "I feel that my strength is still too poor, but there just happens to be an opportunity pointing to Central Plains."
Xiao Aotian: "You're not going to participate in Yao Lao's major storyline?"
Yi Qingyang: "There are gains and losses. Life presents too many choices. If you want this and you want that, you will end up with nothing."
Jin Shankao, "To be able to give up the grand plot right in front of you for a potentially better future, Brother Yi, if you were in the business world, you would probably be a business master!"
Hearing Yue Mei's moans, Yang Shan quickly closed the group chat.
"My Lord, True Lord."
Serpent-People tribe are born with snake tails as their lower bodies, and they need to reach a certain level of cultivation to develop legs.
Like Yue Mei, whose symbiotic Snake Spirit was weaker than Medusa's, her legs became visible after she reached the Dou Emperor.
The benefits are obvious.
After all, having densely packed scales wrapped around your legs doesn't necessarily feel pleasant.
Unlike now, Yue Mei's legs have skin so smooth it looks like they've been coated with oil.
Yang Shan said calmly, "I advise you to shut up."
Virtual immersive devices connect sensory information directly to brainwaves.
Although the body in the Game Pod will react to some extent, in terms of the Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya's Friendship System, real-world physical fitness and nutritional supply can no longer be a constraint for players.
However, Tian Yao Company still set time and number of limit thresholds based on the actual situation of different players.
The main concern is that if players receive too much sensory information for too long and too frequently, it may reduce their psychological sensitivity.
Even so, it is clear that the Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya's Friendship System is far greater than the Yue Mei threshold.
After Yang Shan sheathed his sword yesterday, Yue Mei lay on the bed like a limp snake with its bones removed, her body occasionally trembling.
I just woke up today.
However, snakes seem to have a good ability to recover, which means that the Serpent-People tribe are also relatively resilient to hardship.
As soon as Yue Mei woke up, she was already giving hints.
But Yang Shan knew that everything in excess is as bad as deficiency.
Even a powerful Lu Fengxian could be harmed by wine and women.
Besides, Yang Shan is currently busy looking at Yue Mei's panel! [Yue Mei] ("Golden; Rising" Character Imprint)
Monster Form: White Mist Spirit Snake (King of Beasts)
Rank: Three-Star Dou Zong
Attribute: Water
Affiliation: Yang Shan (Blade Sovereign)
Position: Maid
Loyalty: 90 Potential:
Extreme Speed - Eight-Star Dou Zong
Limit - One-Star Dou Zun
Foundation: Perfect (Six-Star Dou Zong; if the foundation is damaged, it can be rebuilt into a supreme being using a large number of Seventh Order spiritual objects)
Soul Strength: Spirit Realm Early Stage
Qi and Blood: 1,735,000; Attack: 9,500; Defense: 7,800; Speed: 3,000. Description: The White Mist Spirit Snake is a rare and unique bloodline among serpentine magical beasts, its Bloodline Secret Skill primarily based on illusion and Deadly Poison. Because the White Mist Spirit Snake's bloodline is inherited from the Ancient Beast "Illusion Jade Python," it also inherits the Illusion Jade Python's bloodline characteristics, enabling it to accelerate the nurturing of spiritual plants with its own essence and blood.
Special: Due to the nourishment of the Ten Thousand Serpent Spirit Flower, Yue Mei's bloodline already contains a trace of pure "Illusion Jade Python" bloodline. If the opportunity is sufficient, Yue Mei's bloodline may advance again.
Yang Shan only understood the differences between the monsters and the Serpent-People tribe through the supplementary information in the Yue Mei Panel.
The Serpent-People tribe are half-human, half-serpent magical beasts. Therefore, after completely transforming into magical beasts, their Constitution is much worse than that of orthodox magical beasts due to their human bloodline.
This also cleared up Yang Shan's initial doubts about Feng Qing'er's panel.
Feng Qing'er is a pure Heavenly Demon Phoenix in human form, so even though her level is one star lower Medusa's, her Qi and Blood is still much higher Medusa's.
As a magical beast, after transforming into human form, although it can accelerate its cultivation and learn human Dou Technique, not only is the effectiveness of the Dou Technique greatly reduced, but the range of Dou Technique that can be learned is also much more limited.
Of the hundred Dou Technique Dou Technique that might match the attributes, only three or four can unleash significant power.
In comparison, the Serpent-People tribe, who have half-human blood, do not experience a significant boost when using human Dou Technique, but they have much more lenient restrictions on their training in these Dou Technique.
This kind of setting also applies to the "half-human races" such as "fox people", "rabbit people", and "mermaids" in the game.
When the King of Beasts reaches the sixth tier, its stats can reach "five colors".
However, after breaking through to the Seventh Order, the bloodline foundation of the King of Beasts will be greatly damaged, causing the King of Beasts's attribute improvement at the Seventh Order to fail to meet the requirements of "five colors", thus dropping to "gold".
But Yue Mei is different.
The rare and magical "Ten Thousand Serpent Spirit Flower" allowed Yue Mei to complete her bloodline transformation.
The "Demon Python Thousand Desire Gall" is a spiritual object formed by the Demon Snake Xia Mang, a late- Seventh Order -Thousand Beast King, who poured all his power into its gallbladder before his death! In other words, the Demon Python Thousand Desire Gall contains the Demon Snake Xia Mang's "life's worth of power"! Although this "life's worth of power" will be somewhat diminished after being processed by poison and then transformed into spiritual power through dual cultivation.
But Yue Mei and Yang Shan benefited greatly from it.
Because Yang Shan's foundation has now returned to "supreme", when the Demon Python Thousand Desire Gall tried to enhance Yang Shan, it was like trying to melt solid ice with cold water.
Having suffered a setback with Yang Shan, this spiritual energy could only seek refuge with Yue Mei.
Therefore, Yang Shan only increased his potential by one star, raising his Extremely Fast Potential to Five Star Dou Zong.
Yue Mei was quite comfortable.
As White Mist Spirit Snake, its spiritual root is water, while the bloodline of the Demon Snake Xia Mang, "Mixed-Poison Snake," is Water Attribute mutated poison attribute! Therefore, the spiritual power of this Demon Python Thousand Desire Gall and Yue Mei are almost from the same source.
Yue Mei's level broke through all the way up to the Three-Star Dou Zong.
Even when she broke through to the Dou Zong, her foundation remained at the "Supreme" level, which is why her inscription was slightly higher than that of a normal King of Beasts.
Now that's great! Before becoming Seven-Star Dou Zong, Yue Mei only needed enough Seventh Order spiritual items to break through all the way with the ultimate attribute of "Supreme Foundation"! Even if her foundation is damaged again later, it will only be a return to a perfect foundation.
After reviewing Yue Mei's information list, Yang Shan couldn't help but sigh more than once that players and NPCs were indeed different.
The kind of thing that happened to Yue Mei, who went from Dou Emperor to Dou Zong in just one day of dual cultivation, is absolutely impossible for any player!
If Yang Shan's current foundation were not supreme, or if his level were lower, the effect of the Demon Python Thousand Desire Gall on him would be quite good.
But it doesn't matter if Yue Mei benefits.
Where can you find a subordinate with 90 points of loyalty and the potential to become Ancient Beast in the future? Originally, Yang Shan's intention was simply to have Yue Mei as a confidante.
They're all pretty much the same anyway.
But Yue Mei's attitude was extremely firm at the time:
"This humble servant wishes to be the snake of the True Lord!"
This "favorability" then transforms into "loyalty".
Fortunately, it wasn't Blood Pact Magical Beast, otherwise Yang Shan wouldn't have been able to subdue Black Da Sha.
Speaking of which, after Yang Shan and Yue Mei finished their first time, he even received a call from the official customer service "Ruan Mei 007"!
They mainly came to Yang Shan to explain the situation regarding "Yue Mei".
Yue Mei's Global Announcement differs slightly from previous Global Announcement regarding "Sealed Heart Locked Love."
Ruan Mei 007 patiently explained the relevant settings to Yang Shan in detail: because the maximum value of favorability is 100, and if the favorability is not 100, the NPC's feelings can be shaken or even changed.
For example, if an NPC falls in love with someone, but that person wipes out the NPC's entire family except for themselves, then the NPC's feelings will change.
Of course, the specific situation depends on the NPC's personality and the events that occur.
If an NPC is extremely promiscuous, there is a very high probability that they will not have the "Sealed Heart Locked Love" program setting.
Even NPCs with the "Sealed Heart Locked Love" setting will still have certain differences due to their different personalities.
Take Han Yue for example; she is "extremely loyal," which is above "loyalty."
In theory, as long as Xiao Aotian doesn't act up and break Han Yue's heart, Han Yue will basically not pay much attention to other men before her favorability rating drops below 70.
Even in special circumstances like "saving a life," which significantly increases Han Yue's favorability rating, the rating will be capped at 70 points.
This is the logical basis behind the numerical description settings in the Global Announcement.
However, the 70-point favorability limit for "extreme loyalty" breaks the rules, requiring the "Sealed Heart Locked Love triggerer" to suppress the relevant favorability to below 70 points.
This rule applies to NPCs like Ya Fei, Yun Yun, Han Yue, and Hai Bodong, who have already been taken down.
However, Yue Mei's steadfastness in matters of the heart reached an extreme, a level even higher than "extremely loyal."
Therefore, he was described as "remaining faithful to one person until the end".
These types of NPCs are extremely rare and were specifically designed by Tian Yao Company.
Its core purpose is to conduct experimental sampling and ultimately derive relevant medical solutions to treat special groups of people who have completely lost hope in relationships and whose mental state is gradually becoming extreme.
To describe this medical plan using an old internet meme about depression, it would be: I was never firmly chosen.
The Cute Girl Customer Service 007 gave Yang Shan an example to illustrate just how stubborn these special NPCs could be:
Assume that the "Sealed Heart Locked Love- trigger" uses NPCs in various ways.
Alternatively, you could use various methods like beating or scolding, or selling them for money, to directly turn the NPC's favorability into hatred.
No other female character in this NPC's favorability list will have a favorability rating of 70 points! And because of the level of hatred, this NPC will retaliate against the player in a normal way.
However, the level of hatred will immediately decrease significantly after retaliation.
If a player harms an NPC, and an NPC harms a player, then the feud is considered even.
Therefore, once the hatred level drops to 0, it will revert to favorability. The NPC will actively try to repair the relationship with the player and will never give up. If the player does not want to get entangled with the NPC, they can choose to kill the NPC.
Therefore, in theory, the only possible situation for the NPC to give up on this relationship is if the NPC loses their memory and forgets everything related to the player! This corresponds to the rule breaking the affinity limit in the Global Announcement.
Love runs deep, so does hate; love and hate are intertwined, yet looking back, everything remains the same. This is what is meant by:
The most resolute choice!
Yang Shan still remembers that after the Cute Girl Customer Service 007 explained things to him, she sent him a contract. "Mr. Yang Shan, would you be willing to cooperate with our medical research? If you sign this contract, you will receive regular follow-ups from us. Oh, don't worry, the ' Internet Personal Privacy Regulations ' clearly stipulate that even if you agree to cooperate, we have no right to access your game character's specific experiences, including details of your interactions with NPCs."
"Our follow-up visit is simply to understand your specific feelings during your interaction with Yue Mei, as well as whether your behavior and thinking were reasonable. This will help us create NPCs that can help relevant patients to the greatest extent."
"If you refuse, that's fine. We won't make any changes to Yue Mei's character settings. However, given Yue Mei Yue Mei's special circumstances, if you don't like the current character settings, you can contact us at any time, and we will change Yue Mei's 'unwavering loyalty' to 'extreme fidelity'."
After Yang Shan finished speaking to the Cute Girl Customer Service 007, he immediately and confidently signed his name, then solemnly said:
"007, as a player, I would like to express my gratitude to Tian Yao Company for its contributions to society."
Leaving aside other companies, Tian Yao Company alone, the purpose of every product under its umbrella is indeed "to make people happier".
It's said that the Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya's Friendship System " has already been applied to the treatment of "psychogenic impotence"! Since it doesn't involve personal privacy, Yang Shan is naturally willing to cooperate.
As for Yue Mei's unwavering loyalty, that's perfect! She currently possesses outstanding combat strength and has high potential for future development.
90 points of favorability.
The most important thing is to be stubborn! Medusa is nothing! Yue Mei is now his snake, the snake of Blade Sovereign!
You can confidently and boldly nurture them.
It doesn't matter if Yue Mei finds out that he is the "Mister E of the Soul Hall".
Although the Soul Hall had once besieged the Serpent-People tribe, Yang Shan had saved Serpent-People tribe. In that siege, the Serpent-People tribe only suffered some damage to their buildings.
Therefore, in theory, Yue Mei's favorability rating will definitely not decrease because of this incident.
Of course, if it's not necessary, Yang Shan still plans not to tell Yue Mei for the time being.
If we really need Yue Mei's cooperation, then it's not too late to talk about it later.
Yang Shan stood up and said calmly:
"I still have things to do. You should rest well and wait for me to return."
