Chapter 192 Zootopia

Create your own games?

Why does Qiao Song feel that the system is not so kind?

Sure enough, when she took out her shrine according to the system prompts, the moment she touched the wood, she felt like a new operating panel appeared in her mind.

Let’s not talk about the game rules that need to be set, the top one is——

[Friendly reminder, there are rewards in any game copy. Players are requested to prepare the invader rewards in advance before creating the game. The minimum standard is 450,000 soul coins]

450,000??? Why don’t you go and grab it!

Oh, it's already on the go.

She just destroyed and occupied someone else's game area, and only got 300,000. Why should she have to pay so much when it's her turn?

The dog system ignored her.

Just a few sentences repeated over and over can be pieced together into a copy game production manual.

Qiao Song also discovered that the game settings were all related to personal professional skills, and her professional name was automatically displayed in the upper right corner of the blue screen.

Profession:

[Temporary Worker: Level 8]

[Skill derivative: Universal toolbox (contains hammer, nails, net bag, electric saw, etc.)]

Profession:

[White Box Administrator: Level 3]

[Skill Derivative: White Box]

Needless to say, the progress bar of her toolbox has been moving at a turtle's crawl since the shrine was unlocked before. Now it hasn't even reached halfway, and I don't know what will be unlocked in the next stage.

As for the white box you get when you come out of the blind box mall.

To be honest, Qiao Song still hasn't figured out how to use this thing specifically.

Shirobako currently has three functions: the makeup artist box, the otaku's slacking box, and the nap memory box.

Because he wanted to study the functions of the game, Qiao Song always felt something was strange when the shrine, the toolbox and the white box were placed together.

All three are boxes, and their functions overlap.

She first mentioned the shrine. Although this thing popped out of the toolbox, its function was different from the other two. It was the only thing that did not have a clear progress bar.

Qiao Song didn't even realize that she had upgraded the shrine. She just picked it up and used it, and became more and more proficient at it.

However, the Spider NPC has said before that her shrine may no longer have the resurrection function.

Does it mean that she herself cannot be resurrected using the shrine, or that her mascots or players cannot be resurrected using the shrine?

If she were to set up a gaming area, she would lose a big advantage.

In the past, those fruit animals dared to use such large-scale suicide attacks because they thought they could be resurrected if they died, so they had nothing to fear and knew they would earn more if they won.

Qiao Song picked up the little spider.

This scared the sleepy little guy.

"Ah? I, I don't know. The shrine's resurrection effect was mentioned by Big Head before..."

Including the dungeon levels, the River of Life and Death, and even the possibility that Qiao Song died once, waded through the river, and reappeared as a player, so the number of resurrections can no longer be used. These speculations were all made by Big Head and Thin-Legged Spider.

Of the three spiders in the haunted house, two were struck by lightning because they revealed things they shouldn't have, and now only this shivering little spider is left.

Qiao Song clicked his tongue.

Seeing her expression gradually becoming unfriendly, Spider-Man immediately racked his brains to think about how he could help.

"You, you have occupied an area to place a shrine, right? In fact, you don't have to stay and set up the game right away. You can leave it empty first. Others who pass by this area will not take the initiative to dig as long as they don't find the shrine fragments."

As long as the fragments are not replaced, the ownership of the area will not change.

Um?

It seems possible.

Qiao Song had no plans to stay for the time being. She wanted to go deeper into the Xu Dog area and didn’t want to waste time here just to play a rigid game and trap other players.

She prefers to take the initiative.

Zootopia is so big, how many acres is this forest? She stayed to guard the territory for Rooster.

But what was strange was that after burying the fragments of his shrine, the blue operating interface that appeared in front of Qiao Song did not have any Rooster-related symbols, not even a flag.

There are only a few input boxes, and players are required to fill in several lines of game logic respectively.

There is a blank space below with a numerical sequence in front of it, which are the specific game rules that need to be set in this area.

Qiao Song suddenly thought of something in his memory that was a little distant.

Why does it look so much like the ghost story editor she used when she was in Ghost Story Middle School?

However, the shrine obviously has many more functions than that thing, like an enhanced version of the domain editor.

Qiao Song scrolled to the bottom of this row of settings and finally saw the option "Do not enable domain games for the time being".

There is a recharge button behind the option.

[In order to maintain the area from collapse and stabilize the shrine fragments, in the absence of the lord, some soul coins need to be used to replace them. Please invest at least 50,000 soul coins in the maintenance guarantee. ]

So, even if this damn thing isn't used for the time being, it still costs tens of thousands of soul coins to maintain it?

Phone bill insurance package?

Qiao Song just felt that the Infinite Highway was just a money-sucking capital game in the end.

But her intuition also told her that she couldn't really just leave this area alone, otherwise she would be giving it to others for nothing.

Since it can't be left empty, we have to find a guy with more suitable attributes to stay and take a look.

Are games under the Zodiac considered level three copies?

"Is the area here about the same size as your haunted house?"

As soon as Qiao Song finished speaking, Spider-Man realized her subtext and shook his head frantically: "Don't look at me. My ability needs to be performed in a place with extremely weak and dark light. That's why I opened a haunted house with my brothers. The light in the woods here is too good. I can't see the door here."

Qiao Song thought so too.

She also called the boys and girls and the nuns.

Xiao Ni...that won't work either. This little guy is a little devil himself. Qiao Song even doubts whether Xiao Ni is a special identity given to the player after failing the resurrection game.

She looked at the boy and girl. The two little ones knew what she was going to do and looked around with a critical expression.

"It's not impossible for us to stay, but there are too many fruit trees in this area, and it's very hot. Our abilities have to be coordinated with the environment. We need to go to a place with a lot of grass or bamboo. If we stay here, we can only barely help you guard those fragments. If a player really attacks us, we won't be able to withstand it."

Tong Nan, who had been silent all this time, looked at the rotten fruit on the ground that had not been cleaned up yet, and suddenly an idea came to his mind:

"Sister Qiao Song, did you collect a few shells when you came to our village last time?"

When Tong Yao heard Tong Nan calling Qiao Song like that, she couldn't help but look sideways.

When did this boy become so sweet-mouthed?

When he said that, Qiao Song also reacted: "Little White Baby?"

She almost forgot about it.

When she was making the paper-making town, she not only collected white shells, but also underwater blue shells that could produce silk.

Think about it this way, if the blue shell eats everything like a garbage disposal, can it also deal with the rotten fruits in this map?

Qiao Song took out the still-living little white clam from the net bag of the toolbox and placed it next to the shrine. The shell seemed to have been broken for a long time. He felt a little dizzy and it took him a long time to spit out a mouthful of dry foam.

"Um... where is this place?"

Qiao Song originally took out the shell from an underwater shrine under the lake next to Tong Yao's home.

"Are you awake? Do you want to discuss something?"

Because of not eating for a long time and being locked in the toolbox, the shell of Shell was a little dry. Shell opened and closed the lid. It always felt that Qiao Song spoke with a smile, and his tone was so gentle that Shell was a little scared.

"Well, it's been a long time since we last met. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Qiao Song placed it directly next to his shrine.

"Come, join our warm family and get a stamp first."

The little white clam that looks like a living fossil that has just been thawed:?

What are you talking about?

As long as it is a special creature that meets the requirements for sacrifice, Qiao Song can take the initiative to invite it and ask if the other party wants to join.

This is just like recruitment. You cannot force a sale. The other party needs to agree.

This is how the boy and girl, the little monk, and the three spiders entered her shrine.

But Qiao Song remembered that the system had given this little white clam a scientific name called Dream Clam, and it liked incense.

This guy is extremely timid, always pretending to be dead and foaming at the mouth. Qiao Song hadn't thought of putting him in the shrine as a mascot at the time. Now...

"You've been locked in the toolbox for so long, aren't you hungry? The incense in my shrine is very strong."

She gently fanned the wooden box with one palm, and the shell lying in the other palm opened slightly, as if it really smelled the fragrance.

Damn it, it hasn’t eaten for so long, it’s really starving to death, but this woman, it always feels like following her will mean endless risks and endless suffering.

Xiao Bai Beike still remembers that he originally had a job with a fixed salary, but this woman took him out of his position directly and used "his home" as a portal.

He lost his stable job, was struck by lightning, and was later locked up and kept in jail...

Even if I, Little White Baby, starve to death or die of sleepiness, I will never——

The fragrance in the air became stronger and stronger, and Little Shell even felt that it smelled better than the temporary residence he was in underwater.

Coo coo coo

Ten minutes later, Qiao Song, who had coaxed the new employee into taking the job, was telling Beike how to set up a game guarantee strategy.

"The blue shells are low-level cleaners who have not yet gained consciousness. Have them clear all the rotten fruits and fruit trees in the entire area. I still have some lake water from the Zhazhi Town. I will find a way to make some puddles here. You can hide here when the time comes. There is no need to attack those players. Just hide yourself and report to me if there is anything going on."

When people capture a piece of territory during a war, they will definitely build defensive measures to expand their own power while resisting the enemy.

But firstly, Qiao Song is from the Rooster area, not the Ox area. Even after successfully occupying this land, it feels a bit weird that A and B are fighting and she, C, suddenly puts a flag in the middle.

It’s better to keep a low profile for now. She hasn’t figured out what kind of games can be set up in these three broken boxes on her, and she doesn’t want to be tripped up by one area.

She could sneak around and use this place as a temporary crossing point. All the people could come and go, and as long as she didn't make any noise, such a small area probably wouldn't even be shown on the map display.

It was just a little strange. She didn't see the Rooster's flag appear in the area she occupied. When the Guobinfen guild ran away, she saw a small Dog's flag fall down.

Does it mean that as long as we don't take the initiative to create games, new flags will not appear?

Qiao Song’s estimation that the territory she occupied was too small and that there would be no trouble unless she took the initiative to attack was correct, but the change in the map area was not what she had imagined.

After the meeting, the twelve zodiac animals returned to their respective areas and turned on the big screen to watch the current battle situation for a while.

Except for Monkey who is already OUT, the others still have a chance to fight.

"The tiger is making rapid progress. It seems that they have hired a good military advisor. They actually let the dog deal with the old cow, and the tiger deal with the old horse and the chicken. It's great."

A pig in a sports suit and a rabbit in a short jacket are having a silent meeting.

"Piggy, how did the players on your side solve the problem? If nothing unexpected happens, the tiger and the dog will probably fight for the top spot in the south. We have to think of a solution, or that insidious snake will bite us again at any time."

The piglet in sportswear was holding two dumbbells in his hands, and was sweating as he moved them left and right while talking.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't we all agree that we would transfer the ownership to the mouse when the time comes?"

The short rabbit in a martial arts costume immediately became unhappy: "Why are you so useless? Even if we unite, can't we defeat a snake?"

"The difference between the Snake and the Dragon is not just a skin and five legs. Have you forgotten how the twelve zodiac animals were selected?"

"Didn't Chen Long say during the meeting that he wanted to use those big guilds as cannon fodder? We can take this opportunity to cause trouble for Si Snake."

Click.

On the sofa behind her, Ms. Yang, who had been drinking tea in silence, put the cup back on the saucer.

"You two, my time is limited, and I don't want to waste it in Zootopia. When the time is up, I will hand over the ownership to the mice. There are guests in the territory, and I have to entertain them. So, I will take my leave first."

The figure of the Sheep quickly disappeared in this small meeting of the Northern Zodiac.

There may be several WeChat groups in a dormitory. The twelve zodiac signs have also set up small groups to hold small meetings because of their respective relationships.

Apart from the mouse who was doing research every day and the snake they wanted to deal with privately this time, there were only the piglet and the rabbit left.

The rabbit pulled his ears angrily. "It's so annoying. Look at how miserable the South is. We in the North are either ignoring each other or so busy that we can't even see a mouse. Why are we still having a meeting? Why don't we mobilize the players right now and just sit on the snake to death."

He wiped the sweat off the piglet with a towel and got himself a new pair of dumbbells.

"No, the Snake almost replaced the Dragon as the Chinese zodiac sign. We have to be on guard against that guy's ability to shed his skin and put on clothes. The guilds in his area are also quite difficult to deal with."

The rabbit put down his ears, as if he remembered something.

"Is it called the Newcomer Alliance? They have indeed absorbed a lot of players with questionable abilities. I am also working on training newcomers. If I fail in this zodiac competition, I will have to start from scratch in other dungeons. But that girl is not bad. She also has connections with the Dog. If she takes over, the next 12 zodiac selection competition..."

"Hmm? Wait a minute, there seems to be something wrong with the map..."

Even while discussing the zodiac situation with his companions, the piglet, who had been using the fitness equipment, suddenly put down the barbell in his hand and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window next to the huge zodiac map.

This giant screen is different from the TV screen in the tavern. This screen can even display the different guilds in each zodiac area, and the colors of the small-scale zodiac flags are overlapping.

At this time, the area representing the Monkey has completely disappeared, and was replaced by several new light spots representing the Dog and the Tiger, and the game area ruled by those light spots.

This is also the essence of the zodiac selection competition. In the end, the entire animal city will become a game of the same type controlled by one creature.

The total land area will not change, it will just be redivided and the owners will change.

The rabbit also saw the area where the piglet was staring: "What's wrong?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Rabbit, what's with this white spot? Which zodiac sign does this color belong to?"

The rabbit, whose representative color is off-white, immediately jumped off the stool and hopped over, its eyes almost touching the face of that area.

"White is not off-white. Don't blame me. My players can't travel thousands of miles to the south to cause trouble."

After Maotu finished speaking, he was also stunned.

She moved her eyes upwards, scanning all the colors represented by the twelve zodiac signs on the Zootopia map.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple...

There are also black, pink, gray, brown and beige.

The only thing is that there is no pure white.

Why does this damn Zodiac Animal City map have a 13th color?!

The rabbit pulled down its two erect ears with all its strength, and felt its entire body in disarray. "Did the old dragon fish something strange out of the river? Isn't he afraid that the underlying logic of the Zodiac City will be destroyed?"

Piggy picked up the remote control for the room's map and sent a message to a mouse at the same time.

He had all the smart maps of the entire Zootopia, even the mice monitored from the air, and he replied quickly.

"What did the Rat say?!"

The rabbit jumped up hurriedly, wanting to check the piglet's phone.

"She scolded me, saying that I had a problem with my brain for doubting Lao Long. I couldn't doubt her skills. Why is this guy still so vicious?"

Zhuzai zoomed in on the map again, and finally focused on the junction of the Dog and the Ox.

"Rat used some cyber technology to monitor the flag changes here. After the Dog's flag disappeared, no new chess pieces were raised here. It just turned white on the map."

Maotu felt something was wrong: "The flag was lowered, which means the original shrine had been removed. There must be a new guild player with a new shrine moving in. So why didn't the color change?"

She cut a hole in her belly, took out some fluff like a cotton doll, and then found a few black metal cards.

Seeing how bold this little bastard was, Haizhu's eyelids twitched: "Aren't you afraid that I'll take the opportunity to snatch the rule cards from your stomach?"

"Just grab it, we've already pissed off all the losers this round, so I didn't even think about fighting for it."

The little rabbit flipped through the black cards and finally found the one he wanted.

"Look, I remembered it right, and I couldn't have remembered it wrong. The underlying logic dictates that there can only be 12 zodiac animals in Zootopia!"

There were only a few simple lines of words printed on a black card with a very unique pattern.

[5. Zootopia is divided into 12 areas corresponding to the 12 zodiac signs. There are only these 12 forces. A selection competition is held every year to finally decide an administrator who will have full authority to manage Zootopia and attend the committee.]

[6. The 12 zodiac animals in Zootopia can give players shrine fragments to forcibly awaken the shrine...]

The next few lines are all detailed rules about Zootopia.

This is a rule card that can drive all players crazy, hidden in the belly of the Zodiac Administrator.

Maotu stuffed the card and cotton wool back together, touched his belly, and it healed instantly.

Haizhu took a deep breath and asked, "When was the last time such an unusual color change occurred?"

The Rabbit smacked his lips, and the taste began to come back to him.

"When Zootopia was first created, the guy with the robot head came over and wrote the rule card himself. He modified it based on our requirements while writing it. I remember that I originally chose a white flag, but I thought it was unlucky, so I changed it to beige. The guy even said to me, 'Are you sure? Once you choose, you can't change it.'"

As a result, decades later, the white flag appeared in Zootopia itself.

"Is that Cyber's robot crazy? Is it going to step on its right foot with its left foot?"

The little rabbit almost pulled out all the hair on his ears today.

The Pig smelled the lingering fragrance of the tea brewed by the Sheep in the air, and seemed to have guessed who the guest was that the Sheep was receiving.

"No wonder you're in a hurry to go back..."

The Pig rubbed the Rabbit's head and said, "Don't think about it. This celebration might end in an unexpected way. Go back and continue to train your successor."

After waiting for a while, he said, "Let Lao Long do what he said at the meeting about expanding the scope of influence of the River of Life and Death. You don't have to worry about it."

"I'm afraid he'll shoot himself in the foot this time."

The Rabbit wrinkled her nose, not quite understanding what was said, but she had never had a very good brain, so she knew what the Pig meant was that the player with the white flag should not be an enemy.

Friendly forces?

"Do we have any other friendly forces in the Zodiac?"

Haven't those sneaky people from the committee come here already? Who else is there?

Haizhu patted her on the shoulder and said, "You didn't get on that ship, so you wouldn't know. But even now I wouldn't necessarily recognize her as she is now. But no one else can do this."

He murmured in a low voice: "I was wondering why there were so many invitations to Zootopia this time, and there was news from the Blind Box Mall that a tributary of the River of Life and Death overflowed, causing a fire and requiring it to be temporarily closed."

"No wonder Crow, that love-sick guy, didn't come to my gym this time. He's probably drinking tea with Weiyang now."

Haizhu suddenly frowned, feeling that there seemed to be few people in this animal city who were seriously running the dungeon.

"I'd better go back and continue to spur my players. This celebration is going to get more and more chaotic as time goes on."

The rabbit was completely confused.

"Who are you talking about? Why haven't I seen her before? Is she familiar with you, Yangyang and the others?"

Haizhu smiled: "Not familiar with her, but without her there would be no us. Even if we don't know what she looks like and what her personality is like now, we are definitely in the same boat."

"What's her name?"

"She has no name."

In the third hour of entering the Dog territory, Qiao Song sneezed again.

"Who is talking about me behind my back?"

She stopped and looked ahead with a vigilant look, probably because she had encountered a new guild territory.

Several huge tarot cards stood like stone tablets, blocking her way.
