Chapter 516: The Game is Born
"Master Wen, this time we are going to the red birch forest in Baiyun Mountain to hunt a mythical creature. Are you interested in going with us?" An Sheng said while driving.
"Kill mythical creatures?" Zhou Wen was a little surprised. This was the first time he heard that someone wanted to hunt mythical creatures.
An Sheng said, "Yes, there is a strange mythical creature in the red birch forest. We have been investigating it for several years and have almost completed all the information about it. This time we have a pretty good grasp of it. Since you are going to Baiyun Mountain, why not go together to see it and gain some experience."
"I'm fine now." Zhou Wen still believed An Sheng's words.
After all, they are hunting mythical creatures in reality, which is more dangerous. They must have made more sufficient preparations and will definitely not risk their lives.
And this time even An Tianzuo has been dispatched, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
However, Zhou Wen didn't want to have too much contact with An Tianzuo. He felt that he and An Tianzuo were not the same kind of people at all.
An Sheng interrupted, saying, "We don't know the name of the mythical creature in the red birch forest yet, but we named it Love Letter. It's quite interesting. The commander-in-chief said that if a companion egg is found this time, it will belong to me. Maybe I'll have a mythical companion pet in the future."
"Love letter? How can there be such a name?" Zhou Wen was a little surprised.
"There's a little story here. Legend has it that the bark of the red birch tree is very thin and easy to peel off, and it's very beautiful. Some people use it to write love letters to their loved ones. The dimensional creature in the red birch forest doesn't look like a book, but the skills it uses are all related to words, making it quite difficult to deal with. We've lost countless companion pets in the red birch forest over the past few years before we finally understood its various skills..."
An Sheng elaborated on the abilities of the mythical dimensional creature, then added, "However, even if you know its abilities, you can't kill a mythical creature without the same mythical power. So this time, I have to ask the commander-in-chief to do it personally, otherwise I can't do it myself. If you come with me, I'll feel more at ease. It will be a great story if the two masters of Luoyang help me kill the dimensional creature together."
Zhou Wen really didn't want to say anything nice to An Tianzuo, but he also couldn't say anything uncultured, so he could only remain silent.
"The mountain road is dangerous, drive carefully." An Tianzuo, who was sitting in the back with his eyes closed to rest, said coldly.
"Yes." An Sheng responded, and indeed did not dare to say anything else. She secretly blinked at Zhou Wen, and then concentrated on driving.
Zhou Wen had no interest in talking and was about to close his eyes to rest, but suddenly he heard his cell phone ringing.
Seeing that the person calling was Huang Ji, Zhou Wen answered the phone.
"Zhou Wen, our game is a success." Huang Ji's interested voice came over, and the voice was so loud that even An Sheng and An Tianzuo could hear it.
After trying it out last time, Zhou Wen no longer had high expectations for Huang Ji's game, but he still pretended to be very interested and said, "That's great. Could you please pass me a copy? I can't wait to try it out."
"Of course, no problem. I've already posted it online and started internal testing. You can download it from this website and give me some feedback after playing it." Huang Ji quickly sent a website address to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen opened the URL and saw that it was a gaming website with many games in internal and public beta. Their game was called "Dimension", and Zhou Wen saw this game at the top.
The ranking is high not because Huang Ji spent money, but because Huang Ji just uploaded it, so it is displayed at the top.
Zhou Wen quickly downloaded the game. Fortunately, this place was not within the range of the dimensional realm, otherwise it would be hard to say whether there was a signal or not. They had just arrived in the suburbs and the signal was pretty good.
After a while, Zhou Wen downloaded the game and started it. He found that although the login interface was very simple, it was still pretty good and looked quite generous and pleasing to the eye.
After entering the game, there was only one option for Hulao Pass, so Zhou Wen chose Hulao Pass. When he entered the game and took a look, he was shocked.
I originally thought that the game Huang Ji made was just a horizontal arcade level game, but now it seems to be completely different from when he tried it out.
Although it is still a horizontal version of the game, the level of detail of both the NPCs and the scenes has been greatly improved. There are only two characters to choose from, a man and a woman. After choosing the man, the previous skill selection interface does not appear, but instead enters a game tutorial interface.
It introduces the operation methods of the game and how to use skills. In addition to the direction keys, there are five keys in the game. Then, using the direction keys and the other five keys, and using different key combinations, you can use different skills. There are currently ten built-in skills. After remembering how to use the skills, you can use the skills you need.
"Not bad!" Zhou Wen felt that this was a pleasant surprise. He tried the operation method and found it was unexpectedly smooth, just like the very popular fighting games in the past. The operation and striking feel were quite good.
Entering the game, Hulao Pass has become a black and white ink painting style, and the magic soldiers are also in the same style, which looks unexpectedly exciting. Zhou Wen controls the game character to kill the magic soldiers in Hulao Pass, and finds that the various skills and attack modes of the magic soldiers are very similar to those of real magic soldiers. They are much more flexible than in the previous trial play, and it is quite difficult.
"This... really works..." Zhou Wen played with it for a while and became more and more surprised. It was very different from what he had imagined. It was unexpectedly good.
Although playing the game does not necessarily mean you can kill the demon soldiers, in the game you can become familiar with the various attack methods of the demon soldiers and know how to deal with them when you really encounter them. For newcomers who have never entered Hulao Pass, it is still very helpful and the experience is much better than simply learning by watching videos.
Zhou Wen defeated many enemies along the way and killed many demon soldiers. Operation was not a problem for him at all. He just took a quick look at the operation method, and all kinds of skills were used very smoothly, killing the demon soldiers was very easy.
Soon, Zhou Wen discovered the small BOSS, the Demon General. After a fierce battle with the Demon General, he felt that this game was really good. The various behavior patterns and skills of the Demon General were done very well, almost like a real Demon General.
Zhou Wen had been playing games. An Tianzuo, who was behind him, had initially closed his eyes to rest. However, after hearing that Zhou Wen had been playing games for more than half an hour, he couldn't help but open his eyes and frowned.
An Tianzuo obviously didn't like Zhou Wen who played games all day long. In his opinion, this was a waste of time.
An Sheng was so smart that when she saw An Tianzuo frown in the rearview mirror, she knew something was wrong, so she spoke up first, "Master Wen, I heard that you and your classmates worked together to make a game to popularize the various abilities of dimensional creatures. Is this the game?"
"Yes, the production has just been completed and it has just been uploaded for internal testing. This is my first time playing it. Currently, there is only one copy, Hulao Pass. There are magic soldiers and monsters in the game. By playing the game, you can know the behavior patterns and various skills of the magic soldiers and monsters. You can learn how to deal with them in the game, which can also be used in reality. However, games are games after all, and you still need to practice various skills in actual combat." Zhou Wen introduced.
"That's pretty good, Commander-in-Chief. Why don't you try the game made by Zhou Wen and his team? If it works, it will really help us understand dimensional creatures. Maybe it can be promoted." An Sheng said.
"Games are just games after all. Instead of playing games, you might as well watch more video materials." An Tianzuo closed his eyes again and continued to rest.
