I'm a villain, not a devil

Sean's eyes flickered, and a cold and stern look appeared.

He originally thought that it might be the kind of situation he didn't want to see, otherwise he wouldn't have come all the way in a hurry.

But what made him freeze in place was not the group of extraterrestrial visitors calling themselves players, but the appearance of that group of people.

For example, Sean is working on a flat piece of land...

He was concentrating on pulling out the weeds growing on the ground and digging away the accumulated dust.

He was extremely serious, with a look of joy on his face, and his facial features were extremely handsome.

The only two girls among this group of "players" were collecting wires from the scraps on the other side. From time to time, they would look up at Sean, and after looking for a while, they would all lower their heads, and then the two of them would make a fuss. Make a ball.

A girl with a round face giggled: "Lizi, you have peeked at Sean more than a dozen times today!"

Lizi wrinkled her nose at her companion and stretched out her hand to scratch the soft flesh on her waist: "No wonder you call it egg tart. You can't stop talking without food. The more you eat, the fatter you get!"

Egg Tart giggled and avoided, and winked at Lizi again: "Hey, tell me, our studio has been established for such a long time, and Sean is a veteran. How come we just discovered that he is so handsome today?"

Li Zi raised her eyebrows, with some doubts on her face: "It seems that it's really... I can't say that. Sean has always been quite handsome. Anyway, he is much more handsome than the boss."

Egg Tart shook his finger: "I finally understand. Sean usually hangs out with the boss and the others, a group of slovenly otakus! When I entered the game today, everyone looked brand new. Didn't Sean's handsomeness show through?"

Lizi said disdainfully: "We are both otakus. The last time you asked the boss for butter..."

Egg Tart quickly covered the other person's mouth: "Shut up!"

When Lizi shook her head helplessly and said she would not say anything anymore, Dantao panted and let go of her hand.

The two bickered for a while, then looked at Sean and started giggling again.

"Sister Lizi, Sister Egg Tart, you two have been staring at my master for a long time. Do you think you are quitting this job today?"

A young man in his early twenties passed by the two of them. He had a clean shaven head and a bright smile. Only the severed eyebrow on the left gave him a hint of ferocity.

However, they had known each other for a long time, so they didn't know that this guy looked fierce, but he was actually an honest and stubborn donkey.

Lizi waved her fist at him threateningly: "Qiu Qingming, if you tell your master, you will never have a share of the afternoon milk tea from now on!"

Qiu Qingming quickly begged for mercy: "No, Sister Lizi, I was wrong."

Li Zi smiled proudly, she was very good at handling Qiu Qingming.

This group of 'players' were enjoying themselves so much that Sean, who had been hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but smile.

They are all acquaintances...

This group of ‘players’ are all members of the studio.

The person who is cutting down the tree over there is the boss of the studio. He was also Sean's senior at university, nicknamed Lao Niu. It was he who single-handedly promoted the establishment of this studio. It was he who traveled around to attract various sponsorships, and also He had his stomach pierced while drinking at the wine table in order to gain more autonomy for his studio.

The person helping next to him is Lao Niu’s roommate. His online name is Ai Ru Zhuo Shui. Everyone is accustomed to calling him Mr. Shui, because this guy basically invests all his income in packaging, such as watches, ties, suits, leather shoes, and perfume. Wait, he had nothing to do to get a photorejuvenation, facial cleansing, and a BMW. However, when the company encountered difficulties in the mid-term, he took out hundreds of thousands the next day, but his watch and car keys were all gone. Gone.

Another tall, fat man digging in the soil is nicknamed Fat Li Guang... Next to him is Brother Liu... Behind him is the art director Lao Yang...

Two girls, one named Lizi and the other named Egg Tart, are both veterans in the early days and the best original animators. They usually like to bully Qiu Qingming, who looks fierce but is actually honest. However, that fool Qiu Qingming gave up all his salary. When he sent it back to his sister for school fees, Lizi and Dantao used another method to 'bully' him, forcing him to control his three meals and snacks for a month and a half.

These people are all people that Sean is very familiar with.

No, I should say, someone who was once very familiar.

And the person who is busy cleaning in the corner, but happily picks up wood suitable for carving, is also called... Sean.

"Isn't this nonsense..." Sean grinned.

The reason why he rushed here even though he had to abandon the important plans of the imperial capital was because of Kan Shishi.

"Wasteland: New World Rising", this game developed by their studio, is also the real world he is currently in. It is not a complete work.

To be precise, the pre-test version they released only contained the first few chapters.

There is no way, the studio really can't allocate funds, and investors are also eager to see returns.

Fortunately, even in the beta version, their small size and excellent gameplay have won them the love of players. Although there were some problems later, as long as they are solved, the game will only get better and better.

When Sean traveled through time, the studio had already collected the first batch of funds, expanded its manpower, and was already preparing for the first major version update - the early version of Imperial City.

Among them, Kan Shishi is the protagonist on an optional route. He is not only the protagonist.

In the long-term plan of the studio, Kan Shishi will become an NPC in the future - because by then, their game will fully open the online system, allowing players to make their own faces, match up, and finally experience it again in their favorite way Better game.

However, this is just a plan. There is only one draft regarding Kan Shishi and the online system, and Sean has never thought about the possibility of players entering - because, that is pure nonsense!

Before time travel, there were only a few named VR games, and the "game helmets" and "game warehouses" that appeared in various works had no sign at all.

The world's top game manufacturer has failed to respond even to PS porting to PC. How can they, a small studio that released its first game, have such technology? The government doesn’t even have one!

If someone told Sean that there would be players entering this game immersively, he would definitely say: Have you read too many novels?

But the sudden appearance of Kan Shishi still made Sean think of this, and I have to say that he still hesitated.

What if?

So, he found this place.

As expected, no players appeared...

But what Sean didn't expect was that the group of people he was most familiar with would appear in this way.

He cast his gaze to the corner, where there was a person who looked exactly like him.

Sean once saw another person who was almost the same as himself in a projection, but he quickly came to the conclusion that that person was probably related to him, but it was definitely not him, nor was he a reincarnation or anything like that—— There is no resemblance except appearance.

But the 'Sean' in front of him, his subconscious movements, his micro-expressions, his body language, and even the demeanor and posture of every action are no different from Sean.

Sean was hiding in the dark, but he still had the absurd feeling that he was watching his own video.

But, there is only one thing.

The faces are different.

Before time travel, Sean was indeed a handsome guy. However, he usually spent time in the studio, surrounded by big men. There were a few girls who were even more heroic than him. Sean, who takes care of himself at all times, wears a white T-shirt and a black coat most of the time. He wears a hat whenever he has something to do.

But the problem is, no matter what Sean looks like, it is not the face Sean has now.

The Sean before time travel and the Sean in the game just have the same name.

As a little easter egg left by the production staff, the character of Sean is indeed favored, but most of it is reflected in his appearance that can charm countless people.

With the same name as the production staff, then Sean shouldn't have too many scenes. This is professionalism.

So, Sean arranged for his eponymous character to die in a lot of childish scenes - the normal progression of the game.

And Sean didn't expect that he would be summoned to travel into the world of the game.

It's just that when it comes, let it be, and everything comes...

Moreover, even now, Sean's goal has not wavered at all. There is only one thing he has to do in the end.

Destroy the world that he has devoted countless efforts to.

Because, even before time travel, Sean was not a very good person. He always knew that he retained a lot of malice that could not be brought to the table, and his desire for destruction has never diminished.

However, he cannot do this regardless of the requirements of a legal society or his own moral level.

A gentleman does not care about his heart when discussing his deeds. There is no perfect person in the world when it comes to his heart.

Sean doesn't think it's shameful for a person to have a hidden evil side. On the contrary, he's proud that he's always restrained himself well and found an outlet for this side of himself.

Therefore, what they planned to create from the beginning was a world of "all villains", and the background was also set at this time.

However, the game doesn't matter, the reality is different...

More importantly, now that Sean can do whatever he wants.

He never hides his badness, his double standards, and his love and disgust for the world.

"I really love this world..."

Sean chuckled and looked away.

How did this group of so-called ‘internal beta players’ appear…

This group of people are indeed old acquaintances of mine, but their behavior is inconsistent with the logic.

Because, how could I not recognize the game I made?

What a bullshit closed beta qualification, before the game was launched, they almost vomited in the testing area.

But the problem is that there is only one person in the world who can possess all the memories and details of this group of people, and that is Sean.

Sean frowned slightly. He no longer looked at the group of people he occasionally missed, but quietly entered the shelter.

"It must have been born from here..." Sean looked around the sleeping room and muttered to himself.

He found a few dormant cabins that were obviously newly opened and observed them. Sure enough, they did not appear out of thin air.

The bottom of the sleeping cabin is firmly set on the floor, and when you lift the bottom bulkhead, you can see that there is a pipe connecting it.

"It's a manufactured body..." Sean frowned slightly.

However, if you really want to clone these people in the studio, it seems that only Sean can do it.

"My memory was invaded without me noticing?" Sean thought.

No, if my memory was hacked, then the Sean outside should be my real appearance before I crossed over...

And even if my memory was hacked and they wanted to use it to do something, there was no need to do any internal testing or player settings.

Their studio did joke about some holographic projection equipment, just like Sword Art Online - but everyone was talking about asking their descendants to burn one for them after they died...

So, the group of players in front of me are definitely not the group of people I knew in the world before I crossed over.

But how did they come, why them...The reason should be that Kan 14 activated the equipment here...

Thinking of this, Sean rushed to the main control room.

Soon, he found the startup panel that the skinny monkey almost touched again.

"Noah, help me analyze this thing." Sean said.

"Okay, please wait..."

Unexpectedly, Noah took a lot of time this time - you know, this time Sean came in person, and Noah was also in a complete state.

Finally, Noah's voice sounded in his mind: "Strange structure... Saint Three, I can be sure that this shelter was definitely not built before the end of the world."

Sean nodded thoughtfully, and it was almost the same as expected.

Because Kan 14 was used as an NPC to open the online mode, this was just a draft. They just decided on the location, NPC and some basic settings.

Noah continued: "The system here is very strange. There are many places that are obviously extremely rough, but some parts are integrated. The technical level... It's not beyond me, but it's definitely not the same type as mine."

Sean was surprised: "Aren't they all programs?"

Noah replied: "No, I am a collection of programs. With your permission, my intelligent learning device runs autonomously, and the current progress is pretty good. But the system in front of me is more like a person's consciousness, and the way the program works is completely illogical-under normal circumstances, this system is completely impossible to enable."

"In addition, an important point of my intrusion into electronic technology is to find and analyze the other party's database or data node, but I didn't find the database for this system, but instead found the existence of a life-like consciousness."

"I speculate that the system of this shelter is a combination of material life and mechanical programs."

Material and mechanical programs...Sean pondered for a while, and then asked: "Can you scan the veins and structure of this place?"

"No, Saint Three, I can only remember the structure of the road when I came here, and scanning doesn't work for the system here."

"So advanced?"

Sean muttered, and then set his eyes on the panel.

The dust was slightly dented, and there was a handprint on it. Kan 14 probably pressed that to start it.

"Huh? Why is there this on the startup panel?"
