"Are you ready to share a room with Undyne?"
"Papyrus yelled, "I have a plan to make you two best friends, come, stand behind me."
"Remember to give her this."
This guy pulled out a little yellow duck toy from who knows where, "She absolutely loves this thing!"
Creak!
The massive gate of Undyne's castle opened, and Fish Woman, wearing a black tank top, walked out.
"Hey, Papyrus, ready for your super secret one-on-one training?"
"Of course!"
Papyrus sidestepped, revealing Moji behind him, "I brought a friend too."
"Hey, I don't think we..."
Fish Woman's expression froze the moment she saw Moji, her words faltering, "...you... two... come in?"
"This way, Undyne."
The warm-up prince, Papyrus, actively fostered their relationship, "My friend has brought you a gift, delivered in person!"
Moji took out the little yellow duck Papyrus had given her earlier.
"Uh... thanks."
Fish Woman was still a bit awkward, her speech stuttering, "I'll, uh, put it with the others."
She took the little yellow duck from Moji and opened a cabinet.
Whoosh!!!
Good heavens, an entire cabinet full of little yellow ducks!
"So, are we ready to start?" Fish Woman asked.
"Oh, dear, dear, I just remembered!"
Papyrus smacked his skull, "I still need to go to the restroom, you two have fun!!!"
Bang!
Papyrus headbutted through the window in a standard athlete's pose.
Utterly dashing!
Moji was stunned!
The audience was dumbfounded!
Question marks floated across the screen, "Shocked, bro, what kind of performance is this?"
‘As expected of you, Papyrus!’
‘Papyrus is really so warm!’
‘If this game has a soul of kindness, it must be Papyrus.’
‘Hahaha, so Fish Woman has such a cute side too, and the little angel is also adorable.’
......
Papyrus had roused the audience's emotions, but with Moji and the equally bewildered Fish Woman left behind, the atmosphere became incredibly awkward.
The two looked at each other, just like two children who had just fought, being called into the office by the teacher to forcibly make up.
"Oh my god! I just beat her up, and now I'm forced to be friends. Guys, if this were real life, I'd probably have dug myself a hole by now," Moji sighed, holding her forehead.
‘No need for real life, I think I'm about to wear out the bedsheet beneath me just lying in bed.’
‘Don't just be awkward, this is the pacifist route. Perhaps making friends with a cold and sharp boss like Fish Woman is the way to pass. Dai Xiaomei couldn't enter Fish Woman's house because she was on the normal route and didn't need to gain Fish Woman's favor.’
‘Brilliant! The plot arrangement is intricately linked and logical. Moji, be brave and try to make friends with Fish Woman.’
‘Yes, yes, I always feel like Fish Woman has a contrasting cuteness in her life. Moji, you can do it!’
......
Encouraged by her viewers, Moji took a step forward. Becoming friends with everyone might be a prerequisite for passing.
She walked up to Fish Woman, eager to see how Fish Woman would react.
Fish Woman's expression remained unchanged, "What are you doing here? Do you want to humiliate me further?"
Yes/No?
Moji decisively chose No.
"Then what are you doing here? Do you want to be my friend?"
Fish Woman: "That's right, isn't it?"
Moji continued to nod.
"Really?"
"I'm so happy!!"
"I accept!"
Fish Woman declared haughtily, "Let us frolic together in the paradise of friendship... NOT!"
The sudden turn caught Moji off guard.
Fish Woman continued, "If it weren't for the fact that you're my guest, I would have beaten you up long ago. You're the enemy who rejects everyone's hope!"
"I will never be your friend! Now get out of my house!"
"Ah, what a shame. I thought Undyne could be friends with you, but I guess... I overestimated her. She intends to evade this challenge."
Papyrus poked his head through the broken window, using a provocation method that was transparently obvious.
Yet, Fish Woman fell for it. Hearing the challenge, Fish Woman's spirit immediately ignited:
"A challenge? Wait a minute, Papyrus, damn it, he thinks I can't be friends with you!?"
"Hahaha, what a joke, I can be friends with a weakling like you anytime!"
"Listen, human, we're not just going to be friends, we're going to become... best friends! I'll make you so attached to me that you won't be able to think of anyone else!"
Fish Woman said triumphantly, "Hoo hoo... this is perfect revenge!"
For some reason.
Moji felt deeply touched by this nonsensical conversation.
The one-track-minded, tsundere Fish Woman was truly different from a female warrior in armor.
She suddenly realized that when players treated all the monsters they met with kindness in this world, they would reciprocate with the purest and most genuine emotions.
Treating the players as good friends.
They were all pure, without the complexities of human nature.
This was vastly different from the killing sprees in the RPGs she usually played.
'Undertale' had pioneered a new gameplay style, harmoniously balancing 'suffering' and 'enjoyment.'
Through its story and well-developed characters, it compelled players to immerse themselves in the underground world and fall in love with every NPC they encountered.
Moji was filled with emotion, her eyes reddening.
She quietly watched as Fish Woman, provoked by Papyrus's taunts, accepted her and busily prepared drinks.
Roughly expressing her enthusiasm for friendship.
And also,
Fish Woman's inexplicably confident attempt at making pasta, as the two of them blew up the kitchen, further fleshed out her character.
The audience also fell in love with the strongly contrasting tsundere Fish Woman amidst laughter. /
‘Why do I feel like I'm watching a kindergarten cartoon? They're all so childish, hahahaha!!’
‘Considering becoming friends with the player as the ultimate revenge, and then helping the player make tea, teach cooking, and cook as a form of battle, her mouth is the hardest part of her body.’
‘Tsundere Fish Woman, I'm rooting for you!!’
The audience erupted in laughter at the pacifist route with Fish Woman in Moji's stream.
Unlike the merriment in Moji's stream.
Other streamers were still falling deeper into the abyss of mental breakdown.
The streamers who had progressed the furthest, after unremitting efforts, finally managed to overcome the tough boss, King, only to be psychologically contaminated by the bizarre appearance of the Royal Guard, letting out donkey-like screams.
Zhou Suyi, who was laughing the most gleefully, had her mental defenses shattered and lost control, smashing her keyboard while being teased by the robot Mettaton.
Pdd, after becoming overly arrogant against King Asgore, was ultimately slapped in the face, leading to his furious and shameful stream exit.
Many streamers who had prepared to "break down" for entertainment value had forgotten their original intentions as the game progressed.
Because when playing 'Undertale,' breaking down doesn't need acting!
Tonight was destined to be sleepless.
This was a night where streamers broke down and viewers celebrated like a festival.
The streamers' various breakdowns made the audience roar with laughter, and also allowed many players to see a new genre in this small production game – the "breakdown game."
This gameplay is so thrilling!
It's a stress-relief artifact with constant breakdowns, rage, and suffering!
If you're bold enough, it might even become a mainstream game genre.
