Top game producer

Lin Fan, true to his name, was an unremarkable office worker.

An ordinary job, ordinary hobbies, and ordinary… clumsiness.

The battles in "Undertale" are conducted by dodging bullet patterns. The bullets fired by the initial monsters are quite simple, but as you progress, the bullet patterns become increasingly difficult to avoid.

Although Lin Fan adopted a "merciful" attitude towards the monsters, their bullet patterns were, at best, only slightly gentler; they wouldn't just stop fighting.

Therefore, as a clumsy player, he gradually felt overwhelmed after playing through the mid-game.

One day later.

"Ugh!"

Once again, he failed to dodge the bullets, his HP dropped to 0, the red heart cracked into two pieces, disintegrated into particles, and fell.

A sorrowful BGM played, and a huge "GAME OVER" appeared on the screen, with two lines of small text below: "Our fate rests on you..."

Lin Fan sighed with regret and helplessness, and closed the game: "Sorry, my skills are not enough to bear everyone's fate, goodbye!"

It seemed that "Undertale," like most of the games he had bought after starting work, would be gathering dust in his game library.

It wasn't just the difficulty; it was also a matter of energy.

Each monster has a different attack pattern. First, you have to figure out their attack pattern, and then you have to find a suitable method to spare them. In between, you have to constantly dodge bullets. If you're lucky, you can spare them successfully in one go, but if you're unlucky, you have to die many times to figure it out.

If he were still a student, playing a game like this, even if he were clumsy, he would have enough time to challenge it again and again, and he would definitely succeed.

But now, he doesn't have the energy or the strong will!

However, Lin Fan had other options.

That is, to be a cloud gamer!

Even if he doesn't play himself, watching others complete the game can still bring him the joy of the game.

For a working person like him, it can be said to be a very good choice.

Opening Bilibili, he found that one of the up-and-comers he followed, "Xiaoyao Sanren," was live-streaming, with the room title "Challenging Undertale Genocide Route."

Lin Fan's eyes lit up: "Oh? Sanren is live-streaming? And it happens to be Undertale?"

Xiaoyao Sanren is best at challenging high difficulty levels. His super-high reaction speed and micro-control skills are beyond the reach of clumsy players like Lin Fan. His perseverance in never giving up in the face of difficulties is also admirable. He wanted to see how he plays.

"Undertale" has been out for a day, and faster players have already completed the first playthrough, but they are basically all normal endings.

In the game, there are obvious differences in various details between killing monsters and sparing monsters. Players therefore reasonably speculate that if they don't kill a single monster and spare all of them to complete the game, it will be the pacifist route; if they kill all the monsters along the way, it will be the genocide route, which should correspond to different endings.

Lin Fan was also a little curious, what is the difference between the genocide route and what he had played?

He regretted accidentally killing Mom Goat once, and Flowey even brought up the old story, which was simply rubbing salt into the wound, very unpleasant. Moreover, each monster is quite cute, and the thought of killing all the monsters he encounters along the way made him feel tormented.

Lin Fan admitted that he was a coward. Anyway, he would never dare to play the genocide route himself.

Entering the live broadcast room, he saw a monster talking to the protagonist.

"Hmm? Isn't this Little Dinosaur?"

Lin Fan recognized him. This Little Dinosaur was also someone he knew, belonging to the children among the monsters. The character art was a short figure with a big head, cute big eyes, and although the buck teeth looked a bit ugly, he was still very cute.

He has a naive and pure personality. He trusts strangers very much, recognizes them as friends, and is a bit clumsy, often accidentally falling.

"Yo, Undyne told me to stay away from you." Little Dinosaur asked very naively, "She said you hurt a lot of people, but that's not true, right!?"

The protagonist on the screen turned his back, hiding his expression behind the unseen screen. It seemed he didn't want to answer.

Lin Fan was already feeling a little sad: "Genocide route, no way..."

Little Dinosaur continued to ask: "Yo, why aren't you answering me? And... and... why is your expression so weird?"

He seemed a little scared, but still chose to believe in his "friend."

"(Good heavens, my heart-heart feels like it's about to jump out of my chest, what would Undyne do?) Little Dinosaur glanced uneasily behind him, his voice a little stuttering, "Y-you b-better s-stop h-here... because if y-you're still p-planning on hurting anyone, you'll h-have to get through m-me first."

Sanren couldn't bear it and said: "Little bro, please get out of the way! I don't want to fight you!"

The screen went black, entering the battle.

*Blocks the way.

This introduction was not the second-person "Toriel blocks your way" but the first-person blocks "my" way, making the sentence seem inexplicably strange.

Little Dinosaur glared over without yielding.

Perhaps his heart was pounding with fear, but he had the determination to resist.

There wasn't much melody, a monotonous, even irritating BGM, perhaps symbolizing a destined dark future.

"Sanren, maintain your determination!"

"Too tragic."

"Can't you run away? qwq"

"The genocide route is really heartbreaking."

"I can't watch anymore, I'm leaving."

Sanren was silent for a moment and chose to attack.

Swish, swish, swish, three big footprints stepped on Little Dinosaur's face, he showed a fearful, tearful expression.

The screen gradually turned white.

"Ugh!" Sanren sighed.

However, when the white light dissipated—

Little Dinosaur's character art was on the left side of the screen, and in the middle of the screen was Undyne.

"Fish Sister!" Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise.

Undyne wore a black eye patch on one eye, like a one-eyed pirate captain from a movie. The sides of her face had fins, she had sharp teeth, and was a humanoid fish monster. Her head was bald, with only a long ponytail behind her head.

She wore a noble knight's armor, held a sharp spear in one hand, and although her appearance seemed ugly by human standards, she exuded a逼人的英武气势 (imposing heroic aura), making anyone who saw her feel awe.

The monsters in "Undertale" just have monster faces. In some ways, they are more like humans than humans, making people subconsciously use human terms to refer to them.

The kind Mom Goat and the heroic Fish Sister are like this.

Fish Sister opened her mouth, widened her one eye, and a huge red number floated from her body, her health bar emptied.

She rushed over and used her body to block the fatal blow for Little Dinosaur.

Little Dinosaur was safe, but she suffered a serious injury.

Little Dinosaur squinted, tears about to fall, looking at Fish Sister helplessly and sadly like a child seeing his mother being beaten: "Undyne, you... you're hurt..."
