in the game.

Fang Yi solved the puzzles one by one according to Toriel's prompts and quickly advanced the progress of the tutorial.

Hmm...the hints Toriel gave were too obvious, as if she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to learn them.

It's not so much a tip as it is a step-by-step demonstration.

And, the most important thing is that every time he solves a puzzle, the other person will say something like "That's great, I'm so proud of you, little guy", which makes people feel quite awkward.

"Treat me like a child!" Fang Yi couldn't help but muttered.

"I think it's pretty good, it feels quite warm." Xiao An said with a smile.

"Who knows if this is another scam, it's better not to trust these monsters too much." After being deceived by the evil little flower earlier, Fang Yi had lost trust in the underground monsters.

He didn't want to act like a fool and let these monsters deceive his feelings.

"Are you immersed in it now?" Xiao An asked with a smile.

"This is called responsibility." Fang Yi said seriously.

The game continues.

Toriel took Fang Yi to a room with a training dummy.

Toriel told him that when encountering monsters and entering into battle, he only needed to have a friendly conversation with the monsters and try his best to delay them, and then the other party would come forward to help resolve the conflict.

Then, Toriel asked him to chat with the dummy.

Compared with the little flower's pseudo-combat teaching before, Toriel's combat teaching is obviously another extreme.

Is fighting just about chatting with the enemy?

Then what kind of battle is this?

Fang Yi controlled the child to walk in front of the dummy.

The game enters the combat interface.

The four options of [Combat], [Action], [Item] and [Mercy] are displayed at the bottom of the screen.

The two options [Combat] and [Item] are available in most games with similar gameplay.

As for [action] and [kindness]...

Especially the [mercy] option, Fang Yi has never seen it in any game.

Fang Yi thought for a while, clicked [Action], and sure enough saw the [Conversation] option there.

He didn't think much about it and directly chose [Conversation].

[You speak to Demi (the dummy).

[It doesn’t look very talkative.

[Toriel seems to be very satisfied with your performance.

【You win!

[You have gained 0 experience points and 0 money.]

What is this, playing house?

Fang Yi looked confused.

"Chi~" Xiao An couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" Fang Yi took off his VR glasses and looked at her inexplicably.

"nothing."

Xiao An smiled and shook his head, "I just think it's quite interesting that this game changes the fact that the dummy can't speak into 'it doesn't look very talkative.'"

"Oh, I didn't even react if you didn't tell me..."

Fang Yi nodded thoughtfully, then put on the VR glasses again, "You girls are more careful."

Xiao An pursed his lips and chuckled, turned his gaze back to the big screen, and naturally changed the topic:

"By the way, didn't you just say that you can't trust these monsters too much? Why are you so obedient now?"

"I'm just giving it a try."

"Not next time?"

"After that, I played completely according to my own ideas!" Fang Yi said firmly.

"Actually, I think Toriel is quite sincere." Xiao An muttered in a low voice.

"Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts." Fang Yi said casually, and then continued to advance the progress of the tutorial.

The next room requires players to follow the route map on the far left and cross an area full of thorns on the far right.

The ground thorns will disappear only if you are walking on the right path, otherwise the ground thorns "should" hurt the player.

Fang Yi memorized the route map on the far left, and when he was about to go to the right to stab the ground, he encountered an enemy.

The game has entered the combat interface again.

The enemy is a frog.

Out of caution, Fang Yi did not choose [Fight] immediately, but first clicked on [Action] and chose [View] the enemy's basic information.

[Froggit—Attack 4; Defense 5

【This enemy’s life is not easy.】

——Another string of information with unclear meaning.

Just as Fang Yi was about to continue the operation, he saw Toriel's figure appearing on the right side of the screen.

Toriel glared at Frogget with a kind look, successfully making Frogget retreat.

The battle is over.

【You win!

[You have gained 0 experience points and 0 money.]

Fang Yi looked at the screen in confusion and the game returned to the original tutorial scene.

Is this okay?

Does this mean that as long as Toriel is by his side in the future, he won't need to fight?

But in this case, he won't be able to level up or get money!

Fang Yi didn't think for too long.

He followed Toriel and moved on.

When he came to the ground thorn area, he was about to cross it according to the previous route map, but was stopped by Toriel again.

[Toriel: This is the puzzle, but...come on, take my hand.]

After saying that, she took the child's hand and walked slowly to the thorn area.

At this time, Fang Yi had lost control of the child.

"I can walk by myself. I just managed to write down the road map... You really treat me like a child!"

Fang Yi looked dumbfounded as he watched Toriel gently lead him forward.

After passing the ground thorn area, Toriel specifically added, "This puzzle seems a bit too dangerous."

"It's so dangerous. I saved it just now. I might have to start over again." Fang Yi complained.

"I found that you have great potential to be an anchor." Xiao An suddenly said.

"What do you mean, do you mean that my performance was very effective?" Fang Yi was confused.

"I mean you talk too much!" Xiao An rolled her eyes at him, but unfortunately he couldn't see it at all.

"I talk a lot, isn't it because this game is so funny, I can't help but want to complain about it!"

"Mother Sheep is so gentle and treats you so well, and you still complain about her?"

"What a sheep mother? Why are you calling me now?" Fang Yi felt so outrageous.

"It's okay, you can continue playing." Xiao An smiled and no longer struggled with the matter.

Many times, men and women may have very different or even completely opposite concerns on some issues.

When encountering this kind of thing, there is actually no need to involve personal emotions.

As long as there are no problems with two people's three views, sooner or later they can understand each other's ideas.

The game continues.

Sheep mother Toriel coaxed Fang Yi to walk through a room independently, and then told him that she had something to do and had to leave for a while. She asked him to stay where he was and not to wander around. She also gave him a mobile phone so that the two of them could be at any time.

connect.

After Toriel left the room, Fang Yi immediately followed her.

joke!

A player like him can still be dominated by an NPC!

It’s okay to let him wander around, but you actually want him to stay where he is and not wander around?

How can you play games while staying where you are?

He walked decisively into the next room.

unexpectedly……

As soon as Fang Yi arrived at the next room, he received a call from Toriel.

The other party came to confirm whether he had stayed where he was.

Of course Fang Yi would not admit that he was not good.

When the other party hung up the phone, he curled his lips and chose to move forward.

There is a frog not far ahead, and further ahead is a save point surrounded by many red leaves.

He decisively went to the save point and saved a file.

【You roll around in the leaves playfully, which makes you full of determination.】

Fang Yi's mouth twitched, and he was too lazy to complain anymore, so he turned around and started talking to the frog next to him.

【Quack, quack.

[Excuse me, human, I have some advice on fighting monsters.

[If you "act" in a specific way, or choose to "fight" until you are close to defeating them... they may not want to continue fighting you.

[If a monster doesn't want to fight you, please be "kind" to it, human.

【Quack.】

"This seems to be the Froggit just now, right?" Xiao An said hesitantly.

"It should be." Fang Yi said casually, "I guess it was originally designed as a neutral NPC."

"Neutral NPC...is this really the case?" Xiao An muttered in a low voice.

The game continues.

Fang Yi controlled the child to take two steps down, and suddenly encountered a monster.

[Melancholy Bug approaches meekly! 】

A small flying insect with a melancholy face appeared at the top of the interface.

Fang Yi checked the other party's information as usual.

[Melancholy Bug—Attack 5; Defense 0.

[This monster is too sensitive and timid and not good at fighting.]

After he checked, the other party launched an attack.

However, the opponent's attack was to use a circle of white butterflies to circle the red heart several times, with no intention of getting close to the heart.

[Gloomy Chongchong: I have to do this...

[Melancholy Chongchong keeps apologizing softly. 】

Then, it's the player's turn again.

Fang Yi thought for a while and clicked the [Combat] option.

"I'll try what it's like to fight."

"Yeah." Xiao An responded.

She didn't think there would be any problem just giving it a try... although the Melancholy Bug looked harmless and quite cute.

The operation of [Combat] is quite mindless. Fang Yi just tried it casually based on his intuition and hit the highest damage.

The melancholy bug was killed.

【You win!

[You have gained 10 experience points and 20 gold.

【Your LOVE has increased.】

The character has reached level 2 and his health has also become 20/24.

"Upgraded..." Fang Yi murmured, but his mood was not very good.

"Level really means love!"

Xiao An's mood is also a bit complicated, "As long as you kill the 'monster', your love will increase... It always feels a bit ironic."

"Well, the design of this game is quite original..." Fang Yi calmed down a little and continued the game.

In the following game process, he encountered several monster attacks, including the familiar old friend Froggit, and strange new friends Momo, Luke Eye, etc.

When Fang Yi fought against these monsters, he basically chose [mercy].

After all, these monsters do seem quite friendly.

During this period, he also received several calls from Toriel.

Toriel asked him whether he liked cinnamon or butterscotch, and he answered cinnamon. As a result, Toriel suspected that he was a picky eater and thought he didn't like butterscotch... This was exactly the way a mother would feel when she nags her child.

Finally, Fang Yi finally arrived at the door of Toriel's house.

Toriel took him home, gave him a butterscotch cinnamon pie, and took him to a cozy little bedroom she had just tidied up.

Fang Yi slept on the bed in the bedroom and started to look around after getting up.

The background music in "Home" is very soft; the text introductions of some items in the home are also very cute.

Overall, both Fang Yi and Xiao An felt that this place was indeed a warm "home" and Toriel was also a gentle and kind ewe.

until……

Fang Yi walked into the basement of the house.

The soft music suddenly disappeared.

The atmosphere of the scene also became very weird.

Before Fang Yi took a few steps, Toriel rushed over to stop him and said, "I think you should go upstairs to play", and then took him "home".

"There's something weird!" Fang Yi immediately became alert, "This guy really has a secret!"

"It won't be the same as the little flower before, also white and black, right?"

Xiao An couldn't help but become suspicious, "If that's true, then this game is too dark..."

"Well... let's take a look first and then talk." Fang Yi controlled the child and followed Toriel to the living room.

Toriel was wearing glasses at this time, sitting in a rocking chair and reading a book.

Fang Yi chose to step forward and talk to the other party.

[Toriel: Well, I want you to know that having someone with you makes me very happy.

[I have many old books here to share with you.

【I want to show you my favorite insect catching spot.

[I have also arranged courses for your education...

【Anyway, I'm glad you'll live here.

【Oh, do you need anything?】

At this time, two options appear on the screen.

【nothing】

【When can I go home?】

Fang Yi chose the second option without thinking.

[Toriel: What? This... this is your home now... Do you want to hear about this book I'm reading? It's called "72 Wonderful Uses of Snails".

【Want to listen?】

Two options appear on the screen again.

【certainly】

[How to leave the ruins]

Fang Yi directly chose [How to leave the ruins].

[Toriel:...I have something to do, please stay still.]

After saying that, she left the living room.

Fang Yi searched around the house but couldn't find Toriel, so he suspected that Toriel might have gone to the basement.

He came to the basement and found the other party standing there.

[Toriel: You want to know how to get "home", don't you?

[In front of me is the end of the ruins—the only exit to the rest of the underground world.

【I'm going to destroy it so no one can leave.

【Now, be a good boy and go upstairs.】

"Oh, is she going to turn black?" Fang Yi asked suspiciously.

"If you continue to disobey her, she will probably turn black." Xiao An guessed.

Toriel walked deeper into the ruins, and Fang Yi followed.

[Toriel: Every human who fell suffered the same fate.

【I have witnessed it, again and again.

[They come, they leave, they die.

[Silly boy, if you leave Abandoned, that person... Esgor, he will kill you!

【I'm just protecting you, do you understand? 】

"Protect me...is that so?" Fang Yi started to feel a little confused.

"Go on and look down." Xiao An said.

Toriel continued to move forward, and Fang Yi followed persistently.

[Toriel: Do you really want to leave?

【Well, you are just like those other people.

[Then, there is only one solution.

【Prove yourself...

【Prove to me that you have the ability to survive alone!】

As he spoke, the game entered the battle interface.

Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then began to check the other party's situation.

To be honest, he didn't want to fight with the opponent.

After all, he still hasn't figured out whether the other party is good or bad.

If the relationship between the two parties is frozen like this, it may affect the subsequent plot development.

After some attempts, he found that [Action] and [Mercy] were useless, and the props in [Items] could only restore his health.

In the end, he could only choose the [Combat] option.

He wanted to see if he could "prove" himself in this way.
