Chapter 242: Chapter 198 The Demon_2

Put it another way, if the previous two instances were more like arthouse films with a literary flair, then this instance is a crowd-pleasing blockbuster.

And with Emperor Taizu of Sheng’s immensely high popularity, discussions naturally exploded!

"Although I’ve already experienced this content in the game, watching it through the film still brings many new feelings."

"I feel like the movie elevated the game’s content."

"Exactly, especially Meng Yuan’s three-point answer, it’s such a great summary!"

"I was worried before. The instance with Emperor Taizu of Sheng involved four different identities in a multiplayer setting, and the differences between identities were huge. How could they possibly fit that into one movie? Either the film would be too long or the identities would be too disjointed, making it difficult to balance the narrative. I didn’t expect they’d use dialogue to connect everything, really innovative!"

"Finally, we got to see a perfectly satisfying ending, especially seeing General Deng fighting alongside Emperor Taizu of Sheng. It made me think, if General Deng had been born in troubled times, couldn’t he have been a General Gu Yuan?"

"So it goes to show, whether a grand play ends as a fulfilling drama or a regretful tragedy often depends on the emperor. With a muddled emperor, it’s mostly a tragedy; with a wise emperor, it leads to a satisfying drama."

"For the next week, I’m going to plow through the ’Cavalry Trial’ instance again!"

"I’m planning to try the Cavalry Trial again. But it’s a shame there’s no movie for it."

"An instance like the Cavalry Trial is too short for a movie, isn’t it? But perhaps in the future, there might be a large-scale instance based on General Qin Kaiyun, who knows?"

"I wonder what the next large-scale instance will be like."

"If it’s a Qi Dynasty instance, it’d definitely feature General Han Fuyue, right? But the final instance is probably going to be about a Qi emperor? That... I think is going to feel pretty frustrating..."

"Let’s see how the designers of Dark Sand will handle it!"

"Speaking of which, this Meng Yuan is really impressive, keeping a low profile, but who would have thought he could both act and host so well!"

"At first, I thought he was just some connection hire. But it turned out, the officials really did think things through when choosing the right person!"

...

Meanwhile, Meng Yuan, staring at the trending search #MengYuanConversesWithEmperorTaizu#, had mixed feelings.

He hadn’t expected to cause such a huge stir...

The first time it was for his singing, the second for his acting, both times hitting the trending list.

Meng Yuan’s initial intention was to keep it low-key, but due to time constraints, he decided to step in and fill the gaps left by the players, not expecting to create such buzz twice.

This third time, Meng Yuan decided not to showcase his singing or acting talents, just to host and answer a couple of questions, that would be fine, right?

After all, with time pressing, it was a bit late to look for players like Chu Song for help, and besides, he wasn’t sure about Chu Song’s hosting abilities, so he took the stage himself.

He just wanted to complete the task in an orderly manner, but unexpectedly, the effect was remarkably good.

Even Can Shan was surprised.

"Aren’t you completely ignorant of this world’s history? How could you answer so many of Emperor Taizu’s questions?"

Meng Yuan sighed softly, "I’ve also been working hard to learn the history of this world, okay?

"Besides... there’s a lot of discussion about Emperor Taizu online. A little excerpt of the essence and condensation, and that’s it.

"To be precise, this conversation wasn’t completed by me alone, but by all the fans of Emperor Taizu, together with me."

Can Shan nodded approvingly, "Hmm, well done."

Although Meng Yuan could enhance his eloquence, memory and various other skills with the innate ability of the Chrono Regulator, achieving such an effect is indeed quite remarkable.

"However, up next, it will probably get tougher.

"Your way of playing as the new Chrono Regulator must have caught the attention of those ancient demons," Can Shan warned.

Meng Yuan nodded, "I know.

"But there’s no need to worry too much, our status is impeccable."

Of course, Can Shan’s caution was sensible. In the instance with Emperor Taizu of Sheng, Meng Yuan had already encountered the incarnation of an ancient demon.

With his current strength, he wasn’t able to completely drive out these powerful demons.

So, it was only a matter of time before other ancient demons would learn how this new Chrono Regulator differed from his predecessors.

Therefore, the demons would most certainly come up with other methods to deal with Meng Yuan.

But Meng Yuan wasn’t concerned.

If a Chrono Regulator’s style was fully understood, that could indeed be dangerous because each one had a different style, such as being rash or strategic, or having personal preferences for the historical figures they played.

Once a demon figured out a Chrono Regulator’s habits, they could set traps, once, twice, many times, until the Chrono Regulator fell for it.

But that wasn’t the case with Meng Yuan.

In actuality, it was the players who played these historical characters. Meng Yuan could release the most suitable players to solve each historical slice, according to the actual situation.

In other words, every time the demons encountered the players, they were different.
