I Make Games in the Interstellar Era

Xu Piao died and was reborn, transmigrating in a blink of an eye into an interstellar online game sweet romance novel, becoming a cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name.

Chapter 32

Xu Piao didn't expect anyone to realize the various interesting little Easter eggs she'd placed in this stream just yet; she'd just thought of them and created them. It would probably be a long time before the interstellar people truly understood them.

Xu Piao walked across the stream and the small bridge with the cabbages that she had pulled to do the internal test. In front of them was the most important field area of ​​the farming game.

"What are these...?" The young cabbage followed a little confusedly. While walking on the path in the field, he couldn't help but look left and right. He felt that there were things everywhere that he didn't recognize.

At least after entering the game of "Shan Hai Lu", one can quickly master the gameplay, which is to draw cards and be a useless pendant for one's own partner, but this "Taohuayuan"... he really has no idea how to play it just by looking at the game world.

In the area next to it, which is divided into [fields], each area contains different things, and they are all marked with names by the system, such as [watermelon], [potato], [tomato], [green pepper], [lentil], etc. In addition, each thing is marked with how long it will take to mature, and some of them have small signs on them, such as needing to catch insects, need to be watered, and need to be weeded.

The scene in the live broadcast room also turned to the fields as Xiao Baicai's gaze turned.

[What a large expanse of green! The greening is really well done.]

The scenery is quite nice. Although it's not the same style as "Shan Hai Lu", it gives a very similar feeling. How should I put it... It's quite clean and comfortable.

【I don’t understand how to play this. 】

[Eh, that? Xiaobaicai, I think I saw your name among these!]

After seeing the last comment, Xiao Baicai, who was in a difficult situation, looked around the fields and actually found his own name.

——It was a plant with both white and light green colors, growing neatly in the soil, each one as delicate as a carved work of art... This was of course because in the holographic game, Xu Piao had set up every vegetable and other crops to look perfect once they grew.

"These are cultivated crops, an advanced version of the sowing methods used by tribal residents." Xu Piao noticed where the young cabbage was focused, and he stopped and said, "Those are the cabbages in the game."

"But, doesn't cabbage look like this?" The little cabbage, which was in a period of transition, couldn't help but say.

Xu Piao pondered for a moment, "Cabbage in real life doesn't really look like this, but it can look like this in the game, so just treat it as a namesake."

——In fact, when Xu Piao first saw the name of the anchor "Little Cabbage in the Gap", he searched for "cabbage" on Starnet with the idea that he had found the ingredients.

But after searching, she found out that what she now called cabbage in the interstellar world was not the cabbage she had in mind, but a plant that was a combination of thorns and cacti, and it was said to be a very expensive flower.

She couldn't understand how the first person in the interstellar world who came up with the name "cabbage" came up with the idea of ​​naming a plant that was obviously not tasty and not necessarily edible as "vegetable"?

Fortunately, there are no standardized requirements for the names of plants and animals that are named by the public and then passed down in the interstellar world. Most of them are passed down by word of mouth, and after calling them so many times, people tacitly accept that the animals and plants are called by those names.

Therefore, Xu Piao's practice of renaming animals and plants in "Peach Blossom Spring" is reasonable and does not violate any regulations.

Thinking of the appearance of interstellar 'cabbage', Xu Piao said to the young cabbage with a sense of mischief, "If you're curious about this, you can dig up a cabbage and use it in a stir-fry later. This kind of cabbage is delicious whether it's stir-fried with vinegar, dry-fried, or stewed with pork and vermicelli."

Xiao Baicai, who was in a period of transition, was shocked, and so were the audience in the live broadcast room.

【Shocked! 】

【What did the pakchoy do wrong? Why should we eat it?】

[Starting to feel scared]

[Hahahaha, is the producer deliberately persecuting Xiaobaicai? Dream double linkage]

[Yeah, yeah, I love persecution!]

The audience in the barrage had not yet realized that something was wrong, and most of them were still laughing and joking.

In the end, Xiaobaicai, who was in a difficult situation, actually went down and dug out a cabbage out of his trust in the producer. Thanks to the ability to collect plants that he had developed in "Shan Hai Lu", he can now dig out the whole plant without damaging its roots.

When he came out of the field after digging cabbages, he saw that the producer had a watermelon in his hand for some reason. He put it in his arm and continued to ask him to move forward.

As the saying goes, "The roads are connected and the chickens and dogs can hear each other."

When they walked from the path in the field to the big tree at the entrance of the village, a big yellow dog lying under the tree tilted its head lazily and barked a few times. A group of big white geese walked majestically on the road, their steps so arrogant that they seemed to not recognize any relatives.

The quiet atmosphere was suddenly filled with lively sounds.

The little cabbage followed the arrogant big white goose for a while, and when he noticed that the producer had stopped, he looked back and saw the big pink tree, the stone table and the lounge chair under the tree that he had seen in the picture before.

From time to time, pink petals fluttered down and landed slowly on the stone table.

——And so far, Xiaobaicai, who is in a period of transition, still doesn’t know how to play this game.

"Producer, how exactly...how do you play this game? What's the gameplay?"

"Don't be impatient. Put down the cabbage and have a piece of melon." Xu Piao calmly placed the melon, which had been automatically cut into even pieces, on the stone table and handed a piece to the young cabbage. "I'll take you to the beach later. There's something fun there."

She knew that for StarCraft players, the idyllic life might not immediately appeal to them, but the gameplay of catching seafood and opening blind boxes should be enough to keep them interested. After all, the essence of catching seafood is similar to drawing cards, both of which are based on uncertainty.

During this live beta test, Xu Piao didn't plan to showcase the Traveler system yet. For StarCraft players who didn't know who those historical figures were, Traveler wasn't something they'd immediately be drawn to. It was a gameplay feature they could slowly learn through their own play.

"Oh...oh!" The little cabbage, who was in a twilight period, took the piece of watermelon blankly and looked down at the red flesh.

Although in his common sense, there was no concept of eating anything other than nutritional supplements, but when he looked at the tempting red color, he felt as if there was a voice in his instinct urging him to eat quickly. When the sweet fruity fragrance entered his nose, his mouth began to secrete saliva.

Thinking that it didn't matter how he built it in the game, Xiao Baicai, who was in a difficult situation, swallowed his saliva and tentatively took a bite of the red part of the watermelon.

The sweet juice and the perfect crispy and sandy texture immediately shocked the young cabbage, which was in the period of transition from green to yellow. The dense sweetness wrapped around his taste buds that had never tasted anything since he was born.

Wow...this!

He was still in shock, but he was very honest in his actions and took several bites in succession. He finished the whole watermelon in a flash. After he finished, he held the rind in his hand and said in shock:

“What’s that smell?!”

"The unique sweetness of fruit." Xu Piao said with a faint smile on his face.

It was at this moment that she suddenly understood why she loved watching those food cartoons when she was a child, and why everyone was so shocked by the food made by the protagonist that they burst into tears.

Because now, when she saw the young cabbages, which were still in the period of transition, being so shocked by the taste of watermelon, she felt almost the same way.

【??? What happened? 】

[Why did Xiao Baicai eat it so decisively? ]

[Wait, I haven't even seen it clearly yet, why is the red part gone?]

[…This watermelon plant has a weird color. Is it really edible?]

[It's just a game, so it doesn't matter. Don't tribal residents even eat exotic animals?]

The comments were all about eating watermelon, but Xiaobaicai, who was in a period of transition, had no time to care about the comments.

After finishing that piece of watermelon, he came to his senses and savored it. He felt as if he had eaten something, but also as if he had eaten nothing. He looked hesitantly at the remaining watermelon on the stone table and asked Xu Piao in a low voice, "Can I have another piece? I ate it too fast just now..."

"Okay." Xu Piao nodded and reminded, "But don't eat too much. Pay attention to your fullness. There will be other things to eat later."

Then, while Xiaobaicai, who was in a slump over eating melon, Xu Piao left for a while to get the equipment he needed for fishing from the tool warehouse. When she returned with the tools, Xiaobaicai, who was in a slump, was already holding his second piece of melon rind and was still in shock. Seeing her come back, he looked up and, ignoring the discussion in the comments, said to Xu Piao seriously, "Producer, this game is going to be a hit."

This game may become a game of the same level as "Shan Hai Lu".

Although Xiaobaicai, who was in a difficult situation, had not yet figured out how to play the game, he knew from the taste of the watermelon and the strength of the producer that this game would definitely not be easy.

"I know." The producer, wearing a panda-like appearance, kept his expression unchanged and handed him a bucket. "Come on, I'll take you to experience the fun at the beach."

With the watermelon as a base, which had amazed his taste buds, Xiao Baicai, who was in a period of transition, was now very convinced by the producer's words. He took the wooden barrel and followed along with great anticipation.

On the east side of the village, if you jump down a small slope, you will see the sea and a large beach. There is still shallow water on the beach after the tide has just receded.

For many StarCraft players, the ocean is not a very common sight. In technologically advanced places like first- and second-magnitude stars, every bit of area on the planet will be effectively utilized, and all you can see are cities. If you want to see the ocean, you have to go to a planet rich in oceans.

The same is true for forests.

Their contact with nature is very rare.

Although there is also a sea in "Records of Mountains and Seas", the ancient sea is in a mythological style that transcends reality, and is full of strange beasts. It is not like the sea in "Peach Blossom Spring", which looks calm, with no dragons and turtles rolling out of the sea from time to time and causing tsunamis, and no winged fish flying around.

There is only the sea breeze with the scent of waves blowing from time to time.

[I've never been to Ocean Star before. Is the ocean there like this?]

【Not quite the same】

Apart from anything else, CH's scenery is truly exceptional. Whether it's "Shan Hai Lu" or this new game, even the most subtle details create a sense of beauty. Like the fragmented shadows of sunlight falling on the ocean, they always feel more moving than in other games.

The author has something to say:

The roads are connected, and the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard: from "Peach Blossom Spring"
