Some people say that there is a difference between the past and the future. The cause precedes the result. There are wounds first and pain later, not the other way around. People cannot change the past. People will have regrets, regrets, and memories, while the future is uncertain, desires, and worries. , an open space where people can live towards the future and shape it, because it doesn’t exist yet.
However, with the help of the "visual construction platform", Li Liang wandered alone along the "timeline" and witnessed his past and future from the perspective of a bystander. Like God, he could control his own and the fate of others at will.
When life becomes a game, every choice faced in life seems to become insignificant, and justice and conscience become irrelevant.
Once, he asked "Li Liang" to shake hands with the fourth princess and make peace, watching humans become livestock raised by goblins. Another time, at the last moment of the goblin invasion, "Li Liang" chose to stay with Dododisar, Let your home be destroyed.
】
Thanks to Zero's strong will and logical ability, no matter how he decides, the plot can always develop smoothly and reasonably. It's just that when "Li Liang" returns to the temple, the people standing around him are different.
Every time he makes the most selfish choice, the plot often leads to two extremes. "Li Liang" will either die quickly or his "strength" will skyrocket. From this, he also discovers a hidden ending.
At the end of the Zhuos Civil War, when "Li Liang" faced Li Chengshu in the Zhongjing Bunker, he asked "Li Liang" to betray God on the spot and choose to surrender to the Time Observer. The game will immediately reach its finale. With the list of producers The list of units with acknowledgments scrolls, and a video will be played in the background. "Li Liang" has become an invincible existence beyond the gods. Then the screen changes, and he returns to the moment of the living donor kidney surgery. The nurse took the wrong injection, causing him to become Vegetative state.
When the subtitles rolled to the end and "Produced by Xi'an Technology" appeared, the background was dark, and the withered "Li Liang" was lying alone on the hospital bed, with an extremely gorgeous golden throne beside the bed.
This hidden ending is called "Eternal King".
Li Liang didn't know if this was self-defeating as a time observer. Of course, it was more likely to be a mockery of him.

"Development 010145 Logout"
"Peripheral nervous system disconnection... Completed"
"Afferent nervous system transmitter calibration...complete"
"Efferent Neurotransmitter Calibration... Complete"
Li Liang slowly opened his eyes and saw a bearded Mohu face. He was stunned for a while before he remembered that this person should be Yan Hao.
"It's okay, Brother Liang."
Another face came over: "Mr. Li, how do you feel?"
"No..." Li Liang swallowed hard.
This time the connection was in "development mode", and his "sequelae" were slightly milder than last time, but he still couldn't control his body quickly. It wasn't until ten minutes later that his vision returned to normal.
Guo Xudong and Fan Yazi disappeared without a trace, leaving only Tang Xintao and Yan Hao in the room.
"How long have you been waiting?"
"Five hours," Yan Hao looked worried, his eyes were bloodshot, and it looked like he hadn't slept for a long time.
"where are they?"
"Rest next door," Tang Xintao stood up, "I'll call them."
Li Liang waved his hand feebly: "No need."
"This room is stuffy and hot. Why don't you go to the art department? Brother Hao can help you," Tang Xintao called to Yan Hao and helped Li Liang up.
The three of them slowly walked out of the computer room. The glass partitions on both sides of the corridor shone with light, glowing with a dull blue color.
It was already dawn.
The art office area was indeed cooler. Sitting down on the sofa, Li Liang felt much clearer. He turned to look out the window. The tree crowns were bare. There were lights on several floors of the office building opposite, and there were many tall buildings in the distance.
"I'm going to buy you something to eat," Tang Xintao said, picking up her coat.
"I'll go, Xiao Tang," Yan Hao looked at the medical equipment around him, "Mr. Li just woke up, you have to keep an eye on it."
"Okay, buy some porridge. The convenience store opposite the east gate has it. Remember not to put sugar in it."
Watching Yan Hao hurried out, Tang Xintao turned around and met Li Liang's gaze. Her expression suddenly froze, then she smiled awkwardly and turned around to fiddle with the electrocardiograph.
It seems that this is a girl who is not good at getting along with "leaders"...
Looking at the girl's slightly stiff back, Li Liang suddenly felt that in addition to explaining the background, these four "NPCs" might have other functions.
So, he asked softly: "Xiao Tao, what kind of person is Yan Hao?"
Tang Xintao was obviously stunned for a moment, turned around and clasped her hands together, and said hesitantly: "Uh...Brother Hao...Brother Hao serves as the general assistant in the company and also drives for you. Before...uh..."
"Don't be nervous," Li Liang smiled, "There is something wrong with my brain. I am no longer Mr. Li. I may have to live in a mental hospital for the rest of my life..."
"No, no, you will definitely get better..." When she noticed that Li Liang was smiling but not saying a word, Tang Xintao pursed her lips hard, thought for a while and said, "Well... I heard that Yan Hao has been with you for many years and has always been you. The most trusted person, in "Tian Ling", the group's original personality 'Billy' was designed based on him, and many scripted events copied his experience."
"Well, what about those two, Guo Xudong and Xiaofan."
"Duck and I are Xiaofan. We were first recruited by the school. Xiaofan has always believed in Dr. Li Shuang. In fact, he is also very talented. He became the design director not long after he became a full-time employee." Tang Xintao seemed to relax a little, No longer as nervous as before, "As for me, I also admire Dr. Li. My master's thesis topic is about the transmitter theory proposed by him. After joining the company, I learned a lot from him... So, Duck and I both I really hope I can help..."
"Where's Guo? When did he join the company?"
"From the very beginning, when the company was first established, it seems that they were your former colleagues at hkscc. I heard them say that Mr. Guo has strong business capabilities and has many friends on Wall Street."
Li Liang nodded thoughtfully.
It turns out that both Tang and Fan were cultivated by Li Shuang, and the reason why they took the risk to stay was to repay the kindness of acquaintances. Guo Xudong, judging from his resume, is obviously an old man, and he chose to stick to his post at this time. Perhaps there is a deeper reason for this. considerations, or it may just be due to personality.
From this point of view, among the four people, Yan Hao is relatively the most reliable.
However, just listening to Tang Xintao's words, it is too early to draw conclusions at this time.
"Mr. Li...water."
"Oh, okay, thank you."
After receiving the bottled water from Tang Xintao, Li Liang remembered something and asked casually: "Why don't I feel hungry? I don't want to go to the toilet for more than ten hours."
"Do you know how we first discovered that players were abnormal?" Tang Xintao sat down opposite and sighed softly, "In the version before deleting the UI, players could see their physical indicators after entering the game, and every time they passed For two hours, the system will proactively remind players to drink water and eat. If online for more than six hours, the system will force players to log out.
After the expansion pack that deleted the UI was released, the reminder function was still there, but no players logged out midway. They were all forced to log out after six hours. We ignored this phenomenon at first, because many players had fasted in advance for the sake of immersion. Water, we played for six hours at a stretch. Later, a player had pain in his waist and abdomen after logging out. The hospital diagnosed him with hydronephrosis in the kidneys caused by holding in urine for a long time, and we realized..."
"Wait a minute," Li Liang stood up unsteadily, "Um, where is the bathroom?"
"Oh, here," Tang Xintao covered her mouth and snickered, then stepped forward to hold his arm, "it seems that your pelvic visceral nerves have recovered their function..."
A few minutes later, Li Liang held on to the partition and was sweating profusely in pain before he successfully "opened the gate to release the water."
When he came to the sink with ease, he was suddenly stunned. What was reflected in the mirror was a tired face of a middle-aged man.
Although it seems to be well-maintained at first glance, the deep nasolabial folds, fine creases at the corners of the eyes, and graying temples still show that the owner of this face is no longer young.
Yes, I'm almost fifty.
Li Liang smiled mockingly.
