I Became the Most Popular Character by Acting as a Villain in the Manga
Chapter 128 : Chapter 128
Chapter 128
1682L: 1680L+1, if he helps the protagonist group without expecting anything in return, that would be breaking his character for me, and I would stop being his fan. (Obediently)
1683L: 1681L's imagination hahahahaha!
1684L: The OP's analysis is similar to what I thought.
I now feel that Bai Xuechao is too scary, his schemes run so deep. From the moment he joined this game, everyone became his pawn =A=
(Disclaimer: I have no opinion of Bai Xuechao himself, and I don't dislike him!)
1685L: Axue is great just the way he is now, both good and evil, doing whatever he wants. What I like is this feeling about him! (Making a heart sign with my fingers)
1686L: Aaaaah 1681L's imagination is the kind of food I love to eat! If the actual plot doesn't develop this way, I'll write an "if" fanfiction! (Boldly)
It would be best if he recklessly blocked a fatal blow for Brother Hao while fighting the big BOSS. When he's dying in Brother Hao's arms, with a weak and confused expression, he'd mumble to himself: I never thought I'd go this far, why did I...
Sorry, I'm just a tasteless dog, I just love this kind of plot! (Shy)
1687L: Handing a pen to the person above! Please write it now!
1688L: We've always encouraged derivative works, could all the sisters with ideas please write them down! I! Want! To! Read! (Screaming)
1689L: I'm a power-admirer + sapiosexual. I fell into my wifey Axue's pit since the last update, and after reading this update, I'm just lying flat at the bottom of the pit. (Peacefully)
I love him to death, he's not scary at all QAQ
1690L: To be honest, I also find him scary (.)
I admit I'm a fool, I'm afraid of such a smart person, I feel like he would trick me into losing both myself and my money. (Sweating profusely)
1691L: I'm a super face-con, as long as Xuexue's beauty is still online, I will love him! (Shouting loudly)
1692L: With him manipulating the game like this, it's perfectly normal for some people to like him and some to hate him. But no matter what others think, I like him anyway! (Heart eyes, sticking out tongue)
1693L: Let me make a possibly inappropriate analogy, Bai Xuechao's behavior is like a top student controlling their score, disrespecting the exam, and also disrespecting other examinees.
1694L: Uh, I can only say, person above, don't have such a high sense of morality.
1695L: My goodness, my Xue's popularity is soaring today. So this is the treatment for being in the top 10 of the popularity chart.
Little Xue, you are really popular now. You must pay attention to your words and actions at all times, don't let people think you are a bad boy. What was it again, I forgot, you figure it out yourself. (Doge emoji)
...
1766L[OP]: Next, let's talk about the second point, the information I've speculated from the value of Bai Xuechao's kinship, friendship, love, and personality. Of course, I'll also talk about Brother Hao, Ling Feng, and Gong Ting.
I said in 1150L of this post that Dream Game City is an intelligence machine. Hehe, isn't the intelligence here now? (Rubbing hands)
I will first list the value of something of theirs, and then talk about the information I have derived.
Kinship. (In the order on the big screen)
Gong Ting: 2000
Ling Feng: 86 million
Brother Hao: 2 million
Bai Xuechao: 0
First of all, since all of Bai Xuechao's relatives are dead, it can be confirmed that the value estimated by Dream Game City is the affection of his relatives for Bai Xuechao.
The reason I came to this conclusion is that based on Bai Xuechao's previous performance, I judged that he is not without feelings for his brother and sister. Plus, he also has parents, so many relatives, but the value is actually 0. This shows that the value judged for kinship is not his affection for his relatives, but the affection of his relatives for him. Because his relatives are dead, there is no value.
Since Bai Xuechao's kinship is 0, this completely rules out the possibility of him lying.
Without a doubt, his brother and sister are dead.
It is known that there was a little over a week between the Marine Amusement Park arc and the Dream Game City arc, and Bai Xuechao's brother died three days ago.
Let me boldly guess the timeline: after the end of the Marine Amusement Park arc, Bai Xuechao got news of his sister, so he and his brother went to investigate. In the end, they found out that his sister's disappearance was related to the Apocalypse Society, and that she was already dead.
They began to investigate the Apocalypse Society, and as a result, three days ago, his brother found something and was silenced by the Apocalypse Society. In the following three days, Bai Xuechao continued to investigate the Apocalypse Society, and hired Ji Chuanze from a bodyguard company for his own safety.
Until the beginning of the Dream Game City arc, he found out that Gong Ting was related to the Apocalypse Society, and wanted to get in touch with the Apocalypse Society through Gong Ting, so he came over immediately and happened to meet the protagonist group.
I'd like to say something off-topic here, I'm also curious how Bai old scoundrel wrote the setting in the simulated world, it's too much of a coincidence, to have Bai Xuechao and the protagonist group meet just like that.
Seeing this, Xiao 6 "hmphed" twice.
It thought: It's not Bai Guzi's setting, it's the power of the Host and me, the system!
Bai Xuechao was still reading the post.
(1766L[OP]: )
Gong Ting's father is dead, so these 2,000 game coins should be his mother's kinship for him, which is equivalent to 20,000 coins.
Referring to Brother Hao's kinship value, it seems Gong Ting's mother doesn't have much affection for him.
Ling Feng's kinship value is the highest in the whole room. I can conclude that he has a very strong family background, and it's very likely that some of his family members are special ability users.
Because later when they were estimating the value of friendship, Gong Ting's inner monologue mentioned that the friendship value of special ability users is much higher than that of ordinary people. One of the criteria for measuring the value of friendship may be the strength of one's friends, so the same applies to kinship.
I have some guesses about Ling Feng's family background. I said before that his family is related to the SAIDB (the reason is explained in 15L and 53L of this post, so I won't repeat it). Plus, his kinship value is so high, his family must be very powerful (in terms of strength), so I guess his family members are big shots on the official side.
But just based on family background, I don't think it can reach 86 million, which is equivalent to 860 million, and it's 43 times Brother Hao's kinship value! So I guess there should be special ability users in his family, and their levels should not be low, 6 or above, but the number should not be large, one or two, the reason refers to the friendship later, I will talk about the specifics in the friendship section.
Brother Hao... as the male lead, his family is no secret.
Both his parents are ordinary people, they are very loving, and his family is relatively wealthy. The kinship value is 2 million, which is equivalent to 20 million coins, nothing much to say.
Friendship.
Gong Ting: 0
Ling Feng: 326,002,000
Brother Hao: 197,500,000
Bai Xuechao: 668,205,000
One of the main acts I want to talk about is here! Although a person cannot decide their family, they can decide what kind of friends they make! (just kidding)
There's nothing to say about Gong Ting, this guy has no friends.
Let's talk about Ling Feng and Brother Hao together, because their circle of friends after joining the SAIDB overlaps.
The characters who appeared in the SAIDB training camp arc should all be counted in their friendship, but Brother Hao's popularity seems to be better, so the value may be higher.
The final result is that Ling Feng's friendship value is higher than Brother Hao's. The difference is probably from before joining the SAIDB, which also proves from the side that Ling Feng's family is powerful, and he knows many special ability users.
Here, let me talk about why I think the number of special ability users in Ling Feng's family cannot be large.
First, let's calculate the number of characters that appeared in the training camp arc.
The special ability users in Brother Hao's training camp batch came from all over the country, adding up to nearly 500 people. They are all of low levels (the protagonist group should be the fastest to level up, now at level 4), and not every one of them is on good terms with Brother Hao. However, after all, everyone is a "classmate" from the training camp, so there should be some value, but it probably isn't high.
Among these 500 people, there are 7 teams with a lot of screen time. [Night Talk Daily manga screenshot.jpg] They were all present in the Night Talk Daily before, so they should be on good terms with Brother Hao, that's 21 people. Among them, there are 2 teams that are on good terms with Brother Hao (in my opinion), the value of these 6 people should be higher, and the other 15 people should be lower.
There were also 12 instructors who appeared in the training camp arc, 5 of whom had a lot of screen time. They are all level 6 and 7 special ability users. Two of them had a lot of interaction with Brother Hao, so they should also be counted in the friendship.
And everyone, don't forget the two most important people, Xia Xiaoxi and Ling Feng, the friendship value they can provide must be very high, because they are the closest to Brother Hao.
Secondly, let's estimate the value of these characters' friendship.
Using Brother Hao as a standard, Brother Hao definitely had friends before joining the SAIDB, so I will deduct what I think is the value of an ordinary person's friendship (classmates and teachers from childhood to adulthood, maybe some online friends from gaming, etc.), and give him 160 million game coins.
Brother Hao's friendship value of 160 million = his best friends Ling Feng and Xiao Xi + 6 special ability users on good terms + 15 special ability users on not bad terms + other nodding acquaintances from the training camp arc + 2 instructors with a lot of interaction + favorability from 3 other instructors with a lot of screen time + other instructors' favorability.
In summary, so many special ability users, among whom there are also high-level special ability users, their combined friendship value is only 160 million.
Of course, there are other factors that affect it, such as their friendship is not deep, such as the friendship value of level 6 and 7 special ability users is very different, such as the feelings fade over time, the value will definitely decrease.
Assuming Ling Feng's family background is worth 50 million, and the kinship value of the special ability user is 36 million.
With 2 such special ability users, it would be 72 million, and one more would far exceed the value of Ling Feng's kinship. Considering that the kinship of one special ability user may not be 36 million, so I said the number wouldn't be too many, one or two.
Some people may ask, why can one special ability user in Ling Feng's family be counted as 36 million in kinship, while Brother Hao's friendship has so many people but is only worth 160 million? Even if it's divided among the few people he's on good terms with, each person is only worth ten or twenty million, and the actual value should be even lower.
I believe that kinship is definitely more unreserved than friendship. After all, there is a layer of blood relationship, so the kinship value of a special ability user is higher. Secondly, I guess that Ling Feng's family has a relatively high-level special ability user, which will also affect the value.
But it's also possible that there is a very high-level special ability user who cares about friendship very much and provides a very high friendship value. Brother Hao definitely doesn't have such a friend.
Finally, let's talk about Bai Xuechao, 668,205,000, I'm stunned.
When I first saw it, I even thought about overthrowing my calculation of the friendship value of Brother Hao and Ling Feng. After all, let's count it a bit higher, about 40 million per special ability user, Bai Xuechao would need 16-17 special ability user friends to reach this value.
But Gong Ting's inner monologue gave me a clue! He wondered if Bai Xuechao controlled a whole special ability organization, otherwise where would he know so many special ability users.
I think Gong Ting has a point.
The bodyguard Ji Chuanze by Bai Xuechao's side seems to be quite familiar with him, they should have known each other for a long time. "Currently" being a bodyguard is also very clever.
Ji Chuanze should belong to a bodyguard company. Is it possible that Bai Xuechao is related to this bodyguard company? For example, the bodyguard company was opened by his sister, and after his sister and brother died, the company belongs to him? If this company has many high-level special ability users, then it's normal for Bai Xuechao's friendship value to be high.
We all know that Xiao Xi's brother also worked in a bodyguard company. If Su Zhao worked in the bodyguard company opened by his sister, then it's too normal for them to know each other.
And we all know that Bai Xuechao is an underground special ability user. He has to go to the underground exchange to buy X8 pills. There must be many special ability users there, and their levels should not be low. The number of special ability users he has known over the years, and the friendship of several years versus the friendship of one month of training camp, there must be a difference in value, so it's not surprising that the value is high.
Love.
Gong Ting: -500
Ling Feng: 30 million
Brother Hao: 2 million
Bai Xuechao: 0
As for Gong Ting's love, I just want to say, everyone passing by, don't miss it, spit on him. (Doge emoji)
Let's talk about Brother Hao and Ling Feng together again.
Someone confessed to Brother Hao. I guess the other person is a special ability user. After all, his kinship is only 2 million. If an ordinary person's love can provide so much value, unless the other person loves him more than his parents, which is obviously impossible.
However, if a special ability user's love is worth 2 million, then how much should friendship be worth... (Holding a bowl, stunned) I guess the other person's liking is not deep enough, or their special ability level is low, so the value is not high. With this condition listed, the person who confessed is most likely a character who appeared in the training camp arc. (Hands on hips)
There doesn't seem to be much to say about Ling Feng. If we calculate based on 2 million per special ability user, then 15 people (gender not limited, just kidding) like him. My goodness, is he a chick magnet? (Wiping sweat) But his family background is so good, maybe someone (ordinary person or special ability user not limited) liked him before his training camp.
Bai Xuechao's love is 0. To be honest, I was shocked, after all, he has the face of a chick magnet (.).
There are a few guesses, for example, he would cover his face when he went to the underground exchange, so no girls took a fancy to him. Or because he was too frail and sickly, the girls he knew all took care of him like a patient, all with pity, and no one wanted to be in a relationship with him... I feel this is not very reliable, what if someone likes this frail and sickly type, and his face is right there.
There is another possibility, that there are no girls among the people he knows well, and he is in a monastery. (just kidding)
Let's stop here for now, the analysis of personality will be posted together with the third point~
The few floors after the OP's post were still talking about the previous topic. It is estimated that no one had finished reading the new content posted by the OP. More than ten floors later, a discussion about 1766L finally appeared.
1782L: No wonder the OP disappeared for so long, it turns out they wrote so much content!
1783L: I'm kneeling to LZ, to be able to analyze so much information! (Kneeling gently) (Offering my knees)
1784L: Just finished reading the analysis of kinship, I feel the timeline guessed by the OP is very reliable. My heart aches for Xuexue, in just a few days, he not only learned of his sister's death, but also lost his only remaining brother. (Crying emoji)
1785L: If I were Axue, I would want to die QAQ
1786L: Wifey, don't be afraid, you still have me! (Puffing out chest)
1787L: Little Xue, Mommy loves you—! You still have Mommy's love! Mommy will love you for a lifetime!! (Shouting hoarsely) (Beating chest) (Crazy) (Completely crazy)
1788L: Holy shit, I guessed the same as the OP! I also think Ling Feng's family members are big shots in the official organization!
1789L: I want to answer the OP's off-topic question. The randomness of the simulated world is too strong. Is it possible that even Bai old scoundrel didn't expect them to meet? (Laughing while crying) After all, the main feature of the simulated world is that "even the author can't be sure what will happen next." (Obediently)
1790L: Wifey is looking for the Apocalypse Society for revenge, right?
1791L: Hao-zi-ge can have a friendship value of 197.5 million, probably because he knows a large number of friends, he's going for quantity =-=
I suspect that level 6 and 7 special ability users, even if their friendship is not very deep, can provide a very high value.
This way, it's more reasonable for Bai Xuechao's friendship value to be so high. He may not know more than a dozen special ability users, but the ones he knows are all high-level special ability users, starting from level 6, and there may even be level 7 or 8, after all, he himself is at least a level 6 special ability user.
