After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Could Chapter 462 be a beta version?

"Bugs don't just appear out of thin air."

After a few minutes of silence, Ye Sanqing spoke first.

“Cheng…the other people who are in similar situations have one thing in common: they are acting after my actions.”

"So, my actions are a criterion for judgment, is that alright?"

Ye Sanqing looked at the others as he spoke, and both of them nodded.

"There's one more point. I wasn't sure about it before, but now I can almost draw a conclusion."

"It's very obvious... that the corrective actions are all aimed at my... target."

In this situation, whether the wording is ambiguous or not seems to matter much.

The fact that Ye Sanqing directly mentioned the term "awakened NPC" was partly a test, but nothing happened.

"Some others have also experienced a change in their fate. My little bug hasn't fully synchronized yet, so let's talk about the ones we know of. None of them have experienced any correction phenomena."

Ye Sanqing tentatively referred to these abnormal situations as "correction phenomena," and then she continued, "To put it bluntly, there is a difference between ordinary NPCs and romance targets. Ordinary NPCs won't be corrected even if their fates are changed. Because they are not important, mainly in the weight of the game system, they are not important."

"That means..."

Sheng Hanyu interjected, "My dad has more influence? But that doesn't make sense?"

“If there’s such an error in the code, it must have been there from the beginning,” Ye Yifan said. “It’s impossible to suddenly change the code now, so what you just said is the key to triggering the bug.”

Sheng Hanyu reacted quickly, "In other words, my dad and mom being together is a pivotal event in this world?"

"Should I ask my mom?"

After saying that, Sheng Hanyu sighed, "She won't tell."

He was just saying it casually; Gong Xiran's strange behavior had been going on for more than just a day or two.

and many more……

What if Gong Xiran's strangeness wasn't due to her personality or other factors, but rather for the same reason?

"You'd better not ask."

Ye Sanqing said, "What if she fainted too? Or what if something more serious happened? We're safe because we're here. And we know the truth."

“I know, and I wasn’t planning to ask,” Sheng Hanyu explained. “I just thought of mentioning it. But I have to say, my mother’s situation is also very special.”

Are you saying we should ignore the fact that you and your father are special?

Ye Yifan said on the other end, "If I may ask, do you think their relationship has broken down? I don't mean to pry into your family's privacy, it's just..."

Although Ye Yifan has reincarnated many times, she would not draw conclusions about other people's family issues unless the parties involved spoke about them themselves.

Most importantly, there have been no reports of their relationship breaking down in other reincarnations.

It's normal if it doesn't happen once, but if it doesn't happen every time, it just means they have a good relationship, but that's the most illogical part.

Moreover, she never experienced the so-called past life of Sheng Hanyu, which was the reincarnation of Sheng Luoxin's suicide.

Given this development, it suggests that the quality of their relationship is questionable, especially since it involves aspects she hasn't experienced. No matter how you look at it, something seems off.

"I know that this involves global issues, and I won't misunderstand."

Sheng Hanyu recalled for a moment and said, "It wasn't exactly a complete break, but it wasn't exactly a good relationship either."

This wasn't exactly a pleasant memory for him, but now that he thought about the other problems Gong Xiran might have, he didn't have time to be unhappy.

"To be specific, my mother basically never appears. I usually only see her during the Chinese New Year."

“I don’t mean to complain. I also thought it was strange when I was a child, but everyone said that my mother was busy making money, including my father.”

Sheng Hanyu had a vague memory of Sheng Luoxin always having a happy smile on her face when he was a child.

Even though Sheng Luoxin just said that he always does things poorly, he still tries his best to show a positive side in front of Sheng Hanyu.

Moreover, he never complained about Gong Xiran not coming home or other issues; he had already done his best to do everything he could.

"But as I grew older, I realized that it was strange to ignore it. I was probably in middle school when I couldn't understand it, so I asked my mom during the Chinese New Year."

"Then she acted as if she hadn't heard me. I'm not describing it, that's just her attitude, and she continued talking about what she had originally said."

"At the time, I thought she was deliberately ignoring me, so I gave up and thought that my dad and I could live a good life."

"Then everything went smoothly, and I got used to my mother being someone who only appeared during the Lunar New Year, but..."

Sheng Hanyu glanced at Ye Sanqing and said, "She called me today and asked if I was going to take you home to meet her parents."

"Then what do you say?"

Ye Sanqing knew that this was Ye Wanyin's doing. It was normal for other people's parents to ask questions after seeing it. But if Gong Xiran hadn't been acting normally before, then this behavior was abnormal.

"Of course I said no, and she didn't ask any more questions. I didn't think much of it just now, but now..." Sheng Hanyu hesitated, "I thought about it, and it seems like she's... programmed..."

It was still strange for Sheng Hanyu to say that about her mother, so she paused for a moment.

Ye Sanqing simply picked up where he left off, "Are you trying to say that it's like you're an NPC, pre-programmed, repeating the same things every year? Even when they ask about your love life, it feels like they're setting it up?"

“Yes…” Sheng Hanyu closed her eyes.

He knew the game world wasn't the real world, but before Ye Sanqing revealed it, this feeling wasn't actually that strong.

As someone who has been in this world since birth, to him, this place is no different from the real world.

Moreover, he wouldn't have thought of this before, as he and Gong Xiran hadn't communicated much in recent years.

But now he understands why Sheng Luoxin was in a bad mood after the New Year's Eve dinner; it must be because she heard the same conversation every year.

His own mother is this kind of typical NPC, how can he face that?

And it doesn't sound like it's very intelligent...

wrong.

Is the lack of intelligence actually the key factor?

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Sheng Luoxin in front of him.

"Um... I have an idea. Is it possible that they might be... experimental code?"

You mean the beta version?

Ye Sanqing and Ye Yifan quickly followed his train of thought.

"Yes, that's why there are bugs, because it's a beta version."

This speculation wasn't very comprehensive, and Sheng Hanyu only came up with it on the spot, speaking in a very disorganized manner, "Don't you guys think my dad's character is a bit outrageous?"
