I'm bad, but players love me

Whose villain is this crouching in the corner? His outfit makes it clear he's here to cause trouble. Didn't anyone notice him? The awful storyline team should be disbanded right here. With so many bugs, does the modeling team usually ride on you guys to work?

[Please don't be too aggressive above, the plot hasn't even started yet, and this is just a closed beta.]

[That's right, besides, who would be like Ah Dai and not enter the plot point, but instead wander around randomly?]

[That's enough! Are you all just collecting the money? What a filial son!]

"OK, let's see if we can communicate with him in other ways." Seeing that the situation was not good, Ah Dai quickly turned the topic to Yun Shuo.

What are you doing?

"Squat."

It was indeed a bit stupid. Seeing this, Ah Dai stopped pestering and used two skills on Yun Shuo. After being blocked by the air wall again, he said directly: "Let's go straight into the plot. It seems that Di Chou is prepared. There is no way to kill this guy before the plot."

After following the protagonist's perspective into the banquet hall, Ah Dai immediately began to wander around, jumping up and down to test the control sensitivity, and tried to jump onto the NPC's head many times.

"Oh no, I can't jump up. The sensitivity is okay though. After bumping into an NPC, it will make you take two steps back. It's pretty realistic. Since the villains can't chat, let's go talk to my dear Lumi about life."

While controlling the character, Ah Dai introduced it to the audience in the live broadcast room: "Lumi is an agile character, but the skill animation is relatively long."

She changed the subject, "Of course, the most important thing is that she has elf ears! And she's a petite and adorable loli with blond hair and green eyes. It makes sense that some settings can be so enduring and even become XP."

When talking about this, the audience members were no longer sleepy, and the live broadcast room was filled with a happy atmosphere for a while.

"According to the plot, Lumi should be next to the villain. Let me look for him..."

[It's a hot guy, right next to the dessert table. Wait, he seems to have shown his face! ]

[May I ask how you can spot the villain among so many people at a glance?]

[I saw it too! Lumi is right next to him, still laughing! Damn it, Lumi has never smiled at me before! He who cheats on me will die!]

【The green hat is on your head~】

Ah Dai immediately controlled his character to rush over there. Without any ethics, he took advantage of the fact that he was a player and forcibly pulled Lumi, who had not yet finished speaking to Yun Shuo, to the opposite side to talk to him.

【Hello, I am the adventurer Ah Dai. 】

[Lumi. You're an adventurer? You must have been to many places! I'm also interested in adventures. Maybe we can become companions in the future!]

However, Ah Dai's attention was not on Lumi at all. Her big round eyes were fixed on Yun Shuo who was waiting behind her. She even turned her view dozens of degrees for him, just to get a better look at the face of the little villain whom she had disdained in the early stage.

Because he was forced to leave the chat state, Yun Shuo was stuck in place at this moment, and the scarf covering his face naturally fell to the side.

His round cheeks made his face look even cuter, like a greedy hamster, making it impossible to feel disgusted with him. All one could do was shout "Eat, let him eat!" three times on the spot, which naturally aroused the maternal love of many girls in the barrage.

Chapter 6: ELO Commander (Refresh)

[Damn it, something that doesn't exist is standing up! ]

[A ten-year-old fan came uninvited. To be honest, I just want his body.]

[The name "bugdai" is well-deserved. Even this kind of bug can be found.]

[Can Ah Dai's face be moved a little further away from the screen? Don't scare my Yun Shuo.]

"What's going on? Just now he was calling me a villain, and now he's calling me 'my Yun Shuo' all the time? What a face."

As a host, it is natural to also ensure the program effects.

"Let's see if we can get Yun Shuo, okay? We're not after anything else, just his face. Even if he can't enter the card pool, we'll max out his favorability and see if there's any hidden plot."

"Based on the information we've gotten from the PV so far, he and the five-star character Ella are both followers of Mani, the God of Machinery. It's just that compared to my Ella's gun, which I can't quite place the model on, but is clearly handsome and hipster-esque, it's a bit too simple."

"This villain probably has another mission: to serve as a foil to the Joker. Guys, if I maxed out his favorability and then backstabbed him without hesitation, wow, I'd feel like a beast."

[How could you have the heart to touch such a pervert, Ah Dai? You've changed. You're no longer the pure old pervert you once were!]

[He's just a villain, and he's going to die anyway. It's okay to just play around, the main theme is freedom.]

Ah Dai immediately stepped forward to greet the person, and a dialog box popped up, "Are you the person outside the party before?"

"We shouldn't have any socializing. It's a hassle for both you and me."

Boy, you're pretty cool. Ah Dai is ready to fight. Back when I was Aquaman on the Internet, you weren't even born yet. Just a villain, easy to take down!

"You've never been a bother to me. Why don't you tell me the story of this city? This banquet is certainly boring, isn't it?"

"No, it won't last much longer."

Wow, is anyone doing something about this? This villain is blowing himself up!

Ah Dai continued to make small talk, [What do you think of Mani, the God of Machinery?]

"I don't know what you are talking about. I only know that there are gods in this world."

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience and the host in the live broadcast room thought there was a bug.

【Isn’t this a kingdom ruled by gods?】

[The storyline for the minor villain hasn't been completed yet, right? ]

After all, this is just a beta test, and there's still a long way to go before it's a complete product. Besides, the game's developers didn't expect you to chat with a minor villain instead of finding other characters you can obtain.

[Not necessarily, maybe it's a hidden thread or foreshadowing? ]

If that's the case, is this little villain really going to defy fate? A mere mortal, unencumbered by divine power, can go head-to-head with a three-star character and still be completely outmatched by a five-star character. This really makes us players look pretty dumb.

"Well, it's not like there aren't villains who get whitewashed later on anyway." Ah Dai saw that enough time had passed and quickly prepared to enter the initial plot. "I just don't know why Di Chou is going against the grain this time and not showing his face at the beginning. Maybe it's to create a sense of mystery."

The initial plot also serves as a tutorial for beginners. Although there are not many actions that can be performed, the impact and special effects are gorgeous enough, and the skills are also fully demonstrated.

"Does anyone understand the surprised expression on Yun Shuo's face when I pulled his arm away? It made me laugh to death!"

[Captain: Ah Dai is still smiling. I am the only one who knows that Brother Yun Shuo cares about me...]

The captain's barrage of comments will naturally attract a lot of people's attention.

Is there? What did I miss?

[Captain: Right at the beginning of the story, when the lights dimmed, I heard Yun Shuo whisper in my ear, "Be careful and you won't get hurt." He really meant it. I cried my heart out!]

[It's confirmed. Our department can't treat this disease. We need to go to the psychiatric department next door.]

[First, let's make sure those with diabetes don't come. Someone come and wake her up.]

[Indeed, Yun Shuo didn't even throw the bomb at the players. He was so gentle.]

He didn't throw a bomb at you, because he was going to shoot you.

[He didn't throw it at you because he was right next to you and he was afraid he would be swept away by the wave as well.]

Ah Dai naturally just smiled and let it go. As for the captain, he just had to pamper him.

After the plot is over, it’s free time again.

Ah Dai controlled the character to talk to Ella, [Who was the assassin just now? ]

"I'm sorry to have frightened you, adventurer who came from afar. I'm Ella, and the assassin is most likely a member of ELO." Ella had an elegant temperament. She covered her heart with her right hand and bowed slightly. There was obvious displeasure and disgust in her tone when she mentioned "ELO".

【ELO?】

"About three years ago, an organization suddenly appeared. They expanded at an alarming rate. All of their members are extremely vicious and ruthless. They are lazy and only make a living by robbing civilians."

"The mayor of Kori City, my father, has tried many times to suppress these rioters, but it seems like they can't be killed anymore. When one group dies, another group quickly appears. The civilians are in constant panic because of this."

Ella's tone was indifferent, but from her occasional sighs and eyes that were always filled with sadness, it could be seen that she was very worried and sad that the people in her city could not live and work in peace.

"But I never imagined they would be so audacious. I'm sorry, adventurer, you're a distinguished guest, and I shouldn't be bothering you. But I've heard you're great at solving puzzles, so could you please help me find the name of the builder of ETL?"

【Builder?】

"Yes, they call him 'the Commander.' We've searched for his information before, but no one is willing to reveal his whereabouts, not even his name."

Just his name?

"More information would be better, but as long as I have a name, I can definitely defeat him. Please trust my strength, adventurer. The commander is the spiritual leader of the ETL. As long as he dies, the EYL will naturally fall."

There are three more options on the left side of the player, one is "Accept", one is "Decline", and the other is "Undercover".

"Wow, no way. Are you asking me to be an undercover agent for ETL? Mission Impossible, Infernal Affairs?" Ah Dai couldn't help but complain, "I was sent by Ella to investigate ETL as an undercover agent, and then I volunteered to become ETL's undercover agent on Ella's side. You're quite good at playing it, Di Ugly."

When Ah Dai saw the comment "I don't see anyone else having this option, how did the streamer get it?" on the barrage, he knew he had secured the spot and the popularity was firmly in his hands.

"Brothers, we have to choose 'undercover'." After saying that, he went undercover directly.

Chapter 7: First Day Undercover

At this time, there were many technical geeks on the player forum discussing the basic world view of the game through the newly released plot of "Crisis of Faith".

[: The world ruled by gods is a well-worn cliché. What's interesting is how the eight goddesses are set up.]

[: According to the information released so far, the goddesses include Mechanical and Wind. I haven't seen anyone playing the next goddess yet, but the first two goddesses still have a lot of plot points.]

It seems players can also increase their points through faith. I saw some streamers believe in machinery with Mani, the God of Machinery. They said it with such piety, but then they changed their faith after leaving that country.

【：Initially, they all had no faith.】

【：By the way, has anyone taken the "undercover" route? 】

【：Is there this one?】

When I was watching Ah Dai's livestream, she seemed to be stuck on a bug, perhaps due to some previous favorability gain. Anyway, she followed this path and then said the game had frozen. Could this really be a bug?

【：Watch the official version. By the way, whose favorability is being increased?】

[: I saw that one too. It was Yun Shuo's, the boss at the beginning.]

【：The handsome one? 】

【：Where’s the coolness? 】

[: Are you okay? I fought a powerless rookie like you, and I won. Isn't that cool? The last person who acted like that was already a clown.]

[: It seems that Yun Shuo is not unable to use his divine power, but he has no way to use it. There is a replay of Ah Dai's live broadcast.]

【: It's the sentence "I don't know what you are talking about, but I know there are gods in this world." 】

According to the setting, only those chosen by the gods can receive their blessings and enter the temple. This only proves that a trashy villain like Yun Shuo is not worthy of believing in the gods.

[: Ah, right, right, that trash cannon fodder almost killed your three-star character.]

"Manager, the recent feedback from the internal test has been very good, but some players have also complained that some of our major side quests are not completed." The secretary reported the results of the new game's internal test.

"This quest is the 'Undercover' quest, which requires you to gain favor with the villain 'Yun Shuo', established earlier. The technical department checked it yesterday and found a minor bug. You'll definitely be able to access it later. It seems that due to the previous settings, this quest currently only has one independent instance, but it has been completed."

The manager looked up from the screen and asked, "Can it be deleted? I remember the original setting of that thing was that it was a minor villain, right? The independent copy is another one, right? Could it be that someone made two?"

The secretary said with an embarrassed look on her face, "Director Wen from the technical department asked me to tell you, 'If a mountain of shit can move, don't let it move.' He will contact the copywriting team to quickly create a new NPC to cooperate with the players to deal with this villain."

"Exact words?"

"Exactly."

"Okay, any other questions?" The manager pinched his nose in a nagging headache. Talented people with connections were the real deal, while someone like him, with no connections and relying solely on experience, had no choice but to compromise.

"There's been a lot of discussion about this villain recently, and the main problem is that the character's positioning is off."

"After all, the writing team is responsible for creating character designs. Ultimately, how players interpret these characters is up to them. Therefore, we've had the writing team work overtime lately to ensure this kind of discrepancy between players and writers doesn't occur again during the official public beta. Let them polish it up."

[Host, the Earth Chou noticed our copy and were about to delete it, but I just tacked on the source code. If we die, we'll all die together. Now, not only has the copy not been deleted, they've even beautified the initial interface.]

[Hurry up and get ready, the dungeon will probably start soon.]

……

"Hello, everyone. I'm Mr. A-Dai. Welcome back to my livestream. As you can see, I've entered the dungeon interface after 'Undercover' in 'Crisis of Faith.'"

"I got stuck several times before and couldn't get in. I haven't been live streaming for a few days. I'm sorry to have kept everyone waiting! So, brothers, let's get started!"

As soon as you enter the copy, the title will appear in white letters on a black background as usual: The first day of undercover work.

"Brothers, I'm already in disguise. Although this disguise looks clumsy, it really is. Let's go find Yun Shuo first. After all, he's an old acquaintance and has a high favorability with us."

【：As we all know, a high favorability is equivalent to a favorability of three.】

"Oh, don't expose me." Ah Dai was replying to the comments with a smile, when he heard a bell ring. He turned around and saw that the originally lifeless slum suddenly came alive.

Those who were farming put down their hoes, those who were washing clothes put the clothes in the basin, and even the elderly had to use crutches to rush there.

In line with his duty of "caring for the elderly", A-Dai took a step forward and supported the person.

The old lady was stunned for a moment and subconsciously retracted her hand, but then she smiled relaxedly, "You are also from ELO, right?"
