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 85

At this time, StarCraft players had not yet felt anything from the fleeting images in these CGs. It was almost like seeing those silhouette leaks. There was some discussion, but not much.

In comparison, the recently concluded [War of the Lich and the Demons] is more discussed, especially the final scene where Hou Tu transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which directly sublimated the entire theme.

You know, there's no such thing as a "post-death culture" in interstellar space itself. With the advancement of technology, all material things can be explained from a scientific perspective. However, sometimes, human spiritual needs are more emotional, which is what we call sustenance.

If matter and energy are conserved, how does our consciousness arise? I find the concept of a soul quite intriguing...

[Yes, according to the settings of "Record of Mountains and Seas" and "Peach Blossom Spring"... Let's not talk about "The Distance Between the Underworld" for now. Souls are invisible to the naked eye, right? So how can we be sure that such a substance doesn't exist around us?]

[Actually, if you have any doubts, you can use an energy fluctuation instrument to test it...]

"Then how can you be sure that 'energy fluctuations of the soul' are any kind of energy fluctuations that have been discovered so far? If not, then it can't be detected."

[Hey, everyone above is getting too caught up in the story! This is just the game setting! ch himself said not to apply this to real life!]

【……】

Players of "Shan Hai Lu" started discussing the issue of reincarnation.

Some players are already exploring the mountain and sea world after the end of [Lich War].

Because after the end of this [War of the Lich and the Demons], the map of the Shanhai World has also undergone great changes. In addition to the Netherworld, which has a strong presence in the event, there are also regional divisions such as Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xiniu Hezhou, Nanshanbuzhou, and Beijuluzhou. In general, the area on the ground has expanded more than five times than before.

If it was the Shanhai World when the server was first launched, it would probably be more than ten times larger now.

——In fact, it was just because Xu Piao made a lot of money, so he took advantage of every big event to make a big move, using the excuse that their fights caused the plate to fluctuate and drift, and then expanded the map naturally.

Hewlett expertly took on the task of rebuilding the tribe.

Reconstruction tasks like this happen every time there is a major event, and Shanhai players are already used to it.

For example, today, Hewlett went to help a tribe living by a river rebuild their tribe.

However, probably because this tribe was relatively close to the battlefield of the witches and liches, there were still a lot of fires burning on the wood in the damaged tribe that were sprayed out by the witches and demons during the fight.

Based on his experience from previous disaster relief efforts, Hewlett first helped the tribe move everything around the fire to create a distance similar to a firebreak.

He also found that there were many animals and plants that were burned to death in this area, such as pheasants, mountain mice, rabbits, etc., which were probably burned to death after running out of the woods.

After Hewlett helped the people collect enough wood and build small huts to live in, he received sincere gratitude from the tribal residents.

"Thank you, Huang Ke!"

"Thanks for your help, come and have something to eat!" The tribal residents greeted him warmly, and some even took out dried pheasant chicken that had been stored for who knows how long... Of course, it was raw, and Hewlett quickly refused.

But since the appearance of "Taohuayuan", meat must be cooked before eating, and vegetables are best cooked before eating... This concept has subtly penetrated into the minds of StarCraft players.

But when it comes to eating cooked food, the tribal residents are afraid of fire.

After reluctantly rejecting the kindness, he went to help other residents rebuild their homes. As he was building, Hewlett suddenly found that something seemed wrong when he passed by a campfire several times.

But Hewlett was just concentrating on collecting and transporting wood, and didn't pay too much attention to his surroundings... Because of this little bit of concern, when he returned to the tribe with wood again, he took a special look at the burning campfire and was surprised to find a man wearing animal skins squatting next to the campfire - when all the residents of the tribe were afraid of the campfire and walked around it.

Hewlett walked up and found that this was a man he had rarely seen.

——After all, there are countless tribal residents in the prehistoric continent, and it is impossible for him to know every one of them.

"What are you doing?" Hewlett also squatted down by the fire and turned to look at the man.

The man did not answer Hewlett immediately. He seemed to be completely immersed in his own world. His curious eyes and expression made Hewlett feel familiar and kind.

It was a thoughtful look.

The man picked up the burnt animals beside the fire, easily plucked the hair from the cooked pheasant, carefully tore off a piece of chicken meat and put it into his mouth to chew.

The first bite of meat he chewed was the meat whose outer surface had been roasted into charcoal by fire. After chewing it for a few times, the man frowned and spit it out. After thinking for a while, he peeled off the outer layer that had turned black charcoal, tore off a little bit of the white meat inside and put it back into his mouth. Only then did his expression relax.

Hewlett carefully observed the man's movements and asked him again, "What are you doing?"

This time his words were heard.

"These animals that died in the wildfires taste different from those that were alive. They seem to taste better." The man raised his head while holding the cooked golden pheasant and looked at Hewlett with a smile. His eyes were the penetrating, thoughtful look of a man. "Wanderer, do you know why?"

Why?

Precisely because "Peach Blossom Spring" arranged everything from the beginning, directly instilling in them the concepts of what to eat cooked and what to eat raw, Hewlett did not think about this too primitive issue.

——chUnder what circumstances do we know what to eat cooked and what to eat raw?

"Why?" Hewlett's heart skipped a beat when he heard this question. As if he had a premonition, he asked softly, "...What are you thinking about?"

"I think fire is a good thing," the man sighed. "People are afraid of it, wild animals are afraid of it, water is afraid of it...it seems it's afraid of water too."

"But how can we use it?"

For the first time, the bold human race began to think about how to utilize nature.

Hewlett opened his mouth in astonishment, but no words came out.

He would be shocked by such magnificent scenes as Nuwa mending the sky, Kun transforming into Peng, and the battle between the witches and the lich, and would be moved by the shining stars of China. However, when he realized that he might be facing a budding civilization, Hewlett was a little unable to think.

The man did not get an answer from Hewlett, and shook his head indifferently. He stood up and walked towards the tribe with the cooked pheasant. Hewlett's eyes subconsciously followed the man's figure.

Although he was wearing simple clothes made of animal skins, Hewlett seemed to see the countless images that flashed by at the end of the Lich CG through his back.

Human civilization began with fire.

After the Lich War, there is still a long period of inactivity.

However, this grass-growing period is very different from the previous ones.

Because this is a long period of time where time passes very quickly - this time passes very quickly, not referring to the time in the interstellar space, but the time for the development of human civilization in the primitive world.

Xu Piao did not create a special activity for some development processes, but anyone who has participated in the reconstruction of the tribe can discover this process.

Suiren invented the method of making fire by drilling wood and then by making fire by flint, taught this technique to his people, and then spread it to other tribes. He discovered the natural laws of all things in the world and began to use knotted ropes to record events.

These are the things that happen during this period of long grass.

Xu Piao has already arranged what to do in the next event.

Fuxi, the ancestor of human civilization.

In order to distinguish between humans and gods, the human version of Fuxi and the mythological version of Fuxi, Xu Piao plans to release the first sp in the next event. When this new level comes out, it is estimated that there will be another big earthquake.

However, during the one-month development period before the next event, Xu Piao still has to take care of the other two games.

Sometimes the downside is that there are too many pitfalls. After finishing one game's activities, you have to finish another. At least you have to ensure that each game has one or two activities every month.

"Hell's Distance" is relatively easy to implement. Just implement the battle royale mode that was previously demonstrated and advertised at the Legend Awards, and then release titles and costumes that can be exchanged for points. However, you must be careful not to make this horror-style chicken-eating game too flashy, with all players having colorful hair as soon as they enter.

Also… what about selling the properties in the horror world as in-game props, maybe as krypton gold? Maybe someone would want to experience life in a horror dungeon, like running into the human meat bun shop owner when buying a bun, running into Xu Wanjun when traveling to a small water town, or catching Xie Qingyu's troupe performing a play when returning home…

If converted into the infinite flow style, it is almost like experiencing the feeling of being a native of the horror world.

I can discuss this with Lake later.

All in all, the activities of "The Distance Between the Dead and the Dead" are quite interesting, but the casual game "Peach Blossom Spring" needs some careful consideration.

After thinking for a while, Xu Piao used the account of ch to post an event preview of "Peach Blossom Spring".

[ch: "Taohuayuan" is about to launch a server-wide event [Sea Hunting Competition], and the event will start in five days.

We sincerely invite all players who love to go to the beach to sign up and participate. The event will last for five days. The beach-hunting competition will start at a fixed time every day. The result of the competition is determined by the points collected. Players who win the beach-hunting competition can get rewards such as [Special Building: Jiuquan] [Special Props] [Rare Food] [Traveler Trigger Probability Enhancement Items] and so on.

At the same time, all participating players can obtain the reward of unlocking [Building: Hot Springs]. Everyone is welcome to participate.

[After the next update, "Taohuayuan" will increase the level cap and add a new building [Bread Oven] to the level achievement rewards. After obtaining this building, new types of recipes will be unlocked.]

Well, this should be lively enough.

Xu Piao looked at the announcement he had sent out and nodded with satisfaction.

Going to the beach is definitely a special activity, and it is lively when there are many people.

The author has something to say:

Piaopiao: I'm really good at it.jpg

I imagine her spitting out livers like the Monkey King pretending to be Tang Monk, saying, "Do you want this liver from Shanhailu, this liver from Taohuayuan, or this liver from XXX?"

'Living by the river' = Yellow River Basin

Let me think about it, the next game is dress-up and O-game, which should be coming soon.

But I'll be clear in advance. If I change clothes, they will definitely be mainly traditional Chinese style. There are probably some fantasy styles, but not many others. The limited words will be used mainly to describe "wearing my Han clothes and promoting my country of etiquette."
