After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 466: This kind of element is way too outdated...

Even without him saying it, Ye Sanqing knew that Sheng Hanyu was a special case.

I had long suspected why he was being reborn, since the deaths of other so-called important characters always resulted in a game restart.

Sheng Hanyu's situation is obviously different from all of these. He died of natural causes in his previous life, and he was never involved in the players' romantic storylines.

The reason why it couldn't be found before has begun to surface after the true identities of Sheng Luoxin and Gong Xiran were roughly deduced.

Perhaps... Sheng Hanyu is a character who wasn't even written in the script.

First, let's assume the previous game was also a romance story... That's normal. Since it's a series, it's impossible for the first game to be a farming game, the second a real-time strategy game, the third a first-person shooter, and the fourth a mystery/suspense game... right?

If it's a beta version, then it goes without saying that the parameters that need to be adjusted are definitely close to the official version of the game.

So, the typical ending of love stories is that the princess and the prince lived happily ever after...

What happens after you get together?

Sheng Hanyu was the one who came after that.

Another point is that since the targets are all outstanding in some aspects, in other words, their character stats must have high values. Sheng Hanyu is outstanding in all aspects, so why isn't he a target?

"I have a question: Do the main characters and Pei Canxing have a romantic relationship?"

Ye Sanqing suddenly asked a completely unrelated question.

"Is this okay to say?"

For some reason, Sheng Hanyu felt that Ye Yifan on the other side of the screen glanced at him.

But from his angle, he shouldn't be able to see clearly. Could it be an illusion?

"What can't we say now..." Ye Sanqing said helplessly, "There shouldn't be any more outrageous targets than the Lu family."

“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, you know…” Ye Yifan sighed, “Even when playing games normally, you might start to forget the choices you made the first time by the third or fourth time. And I’m not even a player.”

“I know, that’s why I didn’t ask. Apart from the Lu family, which is a special case, it’s not really important whether other people have romantic relationships or not; I’m confident I can handle them all. But I asked this for another reason.”

"Yes, this plan is correct."

Ye Yifan thought to himself that sometimes being unaware of something is less awkward. Besides, Ye Sanqing was determined to completely avoid romantic relationships, which would allow him to avoid most of his romantic interests.

“However, I haven’t completely forgotten, I just can’t remember clearly. I can still recall things when they’re given to key people.” Ye Yifan said while thinking, “Pei Canxing did mention it two or three times, and by the way… your senior was involved too.”

She said the last half of her sentence to Sheng Hanyu.

Sheng Hanyu: ?

How come Mu Zimo is involved here?

"It's not surprising that he's involved. This character setup is so bizarre, like a mafia heir... these elements are way too outdated..."

Ye Sanqing wasn't that surprised. Instead, he complained, "How come it's only been two or three times? Is Brother Pei's popularity that low? Isn't his persona appealing enough? He's the only superstar in the contemporary music scene, what more do these people want?"

Sheng Hanyu: ...Although, I'm still here.

"Who knows? Players' tastes are bound to differ, right?" Ye Yifan thought to himself. If you knew how popular Lu Wangshen was, you'd probably be cursing all those players in front of you to death...

“None of that matters. I’m asking this question to confirm one thing,” Ye Sanqing said without much hesitation. “Is the complete lack of any indication that my romantic connection with him has been triggered because Xiao Sheng was there at the time?”

“Very likely.” Ye Yifan had clearly been reminded and recalled some details. “Xiao Sheng hadn’t been on this so-called program before, so the time when you… no, the players met Pei Canxing was completely different. So this round was different from the very beginning?”

“You really are the key.” Ye Sanqing said, looking at Sheng Hanyu. “I suspect that the fact that your senior’s storyline wasn’t triggered is also related to you.”

What she needed to determine was the sphere of Sheng Hanyu's influence.

She certainly wasn't interested in Mu Zimo, nor did she care about the specific reasons why he hadn't been triggered. Knowing the outcome was enough for her.

"It's hard for me to say..." Sheng Hanyu couldn't directly reveal who Mu Zimo had a crush on.

But then he suddenly remembered something.

"In my round, he appeared in the country much later."

Mu Zimo came to the show on behalf of Mu Zhihong; he wasn't really there for Sheng Hanyu or Gong Yao.

However, this is all predicated on Tong Wuyu coming to the show, and before that, Ye Wanyin's plan against Ye Sanqing at the gala failed.

Therefore, if Ye Wanyin's plan succeeds, this matter will not exist.

Sheng Hanyu explained her analysis and then said, "It seems that the butterfly effect is not only on my side, but also influenced by other factors."

The game system is quite complex, with interconnected elements; missing any one element will change the entire situation...

It's perfectly normal for Ye Yifan to not remember; he's only in the second round and he's already starting to get confused.

"Well, regardless of why he came, his behavior will probably be affected by your presence, right?"

Sheng Hanyu nodded.

There was something he couldn't say: in his past life, Mu Zimo and Gong Yao actually had no interaction.

For some reason, Gong Yao suddenly went overseas to visit him, which is how he ran into Mu Zimo.

It seems like just a sudden whim, but is that really the case? Isn't Gong Yao himself unconsciously breaking free from the control of the plot?

But the character Gong Yao... well, what was the purpose of designing him?

"By the way, my sister..." This question can be asked directly, "Why is there a character like her?"

"Because the Gong family needs an heir. I was just assuming you weren't in the script, and if Brother Pei's character was a superstar from the beginning, then there would be a loophole."

Ye Sanqing quickly sorted out the logic: "According to the setting of this world, wealthy families all have heirs, so we definitely need to write a character for that."

“But I don’t think the script will restrict her too much. If Pei is the one she’s trying to win over, then the restrictions are actually on his side.”

The more Ye Sanqing talked, the more he felt that the game's creators were slacking off, but at least it was a good thing for Gong Yao.

"This is also something I need to confirm. It seems that the Gong family's background is the key element in this setting."

Ye Sanqing looked at Sheng Hanyu seriously and said, "You are the biggest bug in this game."

Sheng Hanyu gave a wry smile.

He never expected that he would have to face this reality today, after worrying about what would happen to him just last night when Cheng Yanye's situation was being repeated.

Being outside the game's storyline certainly means being unrestricted, but it also means that it can be corrected at any time.
