Chapter 11 Game Promotion: The Eleventh Day of Game Production
"Farm Battle" became a sensation in Qingqiu, initially only for the clan leader's promotion and to repay the kindness of Fairy Yuanyi.
But nowadays, everyone in Qingqiu, from top to bottom, from old to young, participates in the game.
Even the usually rigid and stubborn Third Elder vigorously promoted "Farm Battle" as being beneficial for improving cultivation, training spiritual power, becoming familiar with formations, and helping Qingqiu break free from its millennia-old constraints.
The idea of "liberating oneself from bondage" is indeed an exaggeration. It's only been a hundred years since Qingqiu moved to the Wuzhuang Temple area, and the Third Elder's praise and rejection of it are both so exaggerated.
Qingyi shook her head helplessly, but "Farm Battle" had indeed changed the entire Qingqiu.
As Qingyi stepped out of the house, she saw two neatly planted plots of spiritual land right in front of the door. These two plots were allocated to her and her sister Qingshui by the clan leader, and they were free to choose which aquatic plants to plant.
She and her sister both love beautiful flowers, so they planted jade plants by the door. Every morning when they woke up, they could see the seedlings growing and producing buds, some even blooming immediately. It made each day feel more hopeful.
“Planting flowers at the entrance is indeed quite nice, but they’re about to bloom, why not force them to ripen?” Qingyi’s father patted Qingyi’s head.
He continued, "Is there no spiritual energy left? How about I infuse these two plots of land with spiritual energy to accelerate their growth?"
The woman in green transformed back into her original form and escaped her father's clutches. She crossed her arms and said, "Who do you think you are? I am the one with the highest cultivation level in this generation. I am the only one in our generation who can last for four hours in the game."
"The flowers were ripened a long time ago; the buds were deliberately left unopened so that Qingshui could finish her cultivation and log out of the game to see them bloom together."
When Qingshui was mentioned, the father clearly had a lot to say: "Qingshui has been cultivating very diligently lately, and hasn't gone out to play at all. Isn't he going to get bored? Here are some Red Lantern Fruits that I ripened today. Take them and eat them with your sister. Tell Qingshui not to be in such a hurry, and to play when he should."
The red berries, glistening and translucent, resembled tiny gems, and were served in a pristine white porcelain bowl.
Take one and put it in your mouth, the juice bursts out, sweet and delicious. In the past, eating these wild fruits was all a matter of luck. If you saw a fruit tree like this, you would pick some and bring them back for your children to eat.
As for the clan's land, it is absolutely impossible to grow these things, and no one would even think of growing these things that are only good for eating but have no other use.
"Okay, I'll take Qingshui out to play." (This is a lie.) Qingshui is currently thinking every day about what seeds to buy to plant in the game tomorrow. If he runs out of spiritual energy, he immediately logs off to cultivate; he'll only tend to these two acres of land and won't actually go out.
Qingyi silently divided the fruit in the bowl in half; the red lantern fruit was indeed delicious.
So they really are family. He and Qingshui planted beautiful flowers at the door, while his father cultivated delicious fruit behind the mountain. None of these were elixirs for increasing cultivation.
The father, of course, was unaware of Qingyi's complaints: "There's more spiritual energy around here now, so you and your sister shouldn't stay home cultivating all the time. The clan leader and Fairy Yuanyi are going to have a live stream and a preview summary meeting soon, so you and Qingshui shouldn't miss it."
"I know." Little Ginseng had already mentioned this in the game. Hearing that there was an Easter egg linking with Farm Battle, he and his sister definitely wouldn't miss it.
…………
On the other side, still at the fox clan's ancestral hall, the clan's sacred place, the three elders and the clan leader were discussing important matters.
But the scene was vastly different from the last meeting. The enormous fox head still sat upright in the ancestral hall, only the eerie green light in its eyes had dimmed slightly.
The dark red ground and withered grass have all been replaced with sacrificial flowers. The once icy and oppressive atmosphere has now become pleasantly warm and the air is clear and refreshing.
The best proof of this is that Qing Jiu took out a pot of hot tea from her sleeve, poured a cup for each of the clan leaders attending the meeting, and even offered an extra cup to the spirit of the fox clan's aunt.
"Clan leader, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" The eldest elder looked at the steaming tea in front of him, then looked up at the ancestral shrine, wondering how this was any different from eating at the gravesite.
Qing Jiu took a small sip: "It's nothing. I asked my ancestors a few days ago, and they said they love this kind of sweet and sour tea. I brought it for them on purpose. You should try it too."
The elder fell silent, then quietly picked up the teacup in front of him. Hmm, the taste was indeed quite good; it was the kind of flavor the fox liked.
Something's not quite right, is it? Didn't our ancestors only leave behind resentment? How can they still answer what kind of tea they like to drink? And how come the sacred site has changed so much in such a short time?
"Because the Five Elements Grand Array has been completed, the spiritual energy is circulating and purifying the superficial pollution, and also slightly awakening the minds of the grandmothers."
Qing Jiu couldn't be happier lately. She originally thought that things wouldn't change in the clan until the "Elimination of Calamity" game. But it hasn't been long, and after the game, each clan member was given land and told what they could grow on each plot.
Then the sky turned blue, the water turned green, and the barren wasteland was all transformed into fertile fields.
Qing Jiu then witnessed the power of the formation given by Fairy Yuan Yi. This was no simple formation; even setting up a rudimentary one purified Qingqiu once.
After all the fields were planted with suitable crops, the interaction of the five elements not only created a protective formation for Qingqiu, but also collected the spiritual energy overflowing from the growth of the spiritual plants. The spiritual energy circulation was so abundant that it was comparable to a small-scale blessed land outside.
A hundred years ago, Qing Jiu wouldn't have dared to even dream of living in Qingqiu now. Even if she were given free accommodation, she wouldn't have dared to bring her people there. After all, in the primordial world, the strong prey on the weak. Wouldn't it be suicidal for the old, weak, sick, and disabled of Qingqiu to occupy such a good place?
So, a hundred years ago, Qingqiu deliberately chose a remote, barren place with scarce spiritual energy, yet it was protected by the Great Aunt. But after Fairy Yuanyi's game, the entire Qingqiu improved.
There's no need to worry about anyone bullying them, after all, not only is the protective array indestructible, but they also have two powerful backers: Fairy Yuanyi and Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi.
A hundred years ago, I left my hometown, thinking only that I could survive; a hundred years later, I have such good fortune. I wish I had come to Longevity Mountain sooner, but it seems that Fairy Yuanyi had not yet been born then.
"Well, everything is just right. We Qingqiu are destined to be with Fairy Yuanyi." Qingjiu, who had become a die-hard fan of Yuanyi, thought to herself.
A faint light flashed in the array before her eyes, and a communication request came to Qing Jiu.
This is Fairy Yuanyi's latest game chat system, which is being tested on the formation first. Qing Jiu has already tried it twice, and it is indeed much more convenient and faster than bird-borne communication.
Fairy Yuanyi's mastery of formations is simply unparalleled.
Qing Jiu clicked "confirm," and a girl in green appeared before her. She had delicate features and a beautiful face, but her temperament was extraordinary and different from others.
"Why do you look so haggard, Fairy?" Qing Jiu noticed the dark circles under Yuan Yi's eyes and couldn't help but ask with concern.
Of course, she worked all night making game update packages. She can't say that out loud, or she'll lose her fairy-like image.
Yuan Yi calmly said, "However, I have recently encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation, but it's nothing to worry about. Let's talk about the operation of 'Eliminating Calamity' first."
To achieve the goal of clearing the earth's veins, Yuan Yi split the Wuzhuang Temple's operating mode into two parts. One part, "Farm Battle," was used to lay the foundation and activate the formations, while the other part, "Eliminating Calamity Qi," was specifically used to suppress calamity qi and clear the earth's veins.
After several months of operation, especially with my brother's unbridled spending in the game "Farm Battle", not only was the formation layout of the Qingqiu clan's territory successfully completed, but a large amount of spiritual power was also accumulated.
This is more than enough to support the short-term operation of "Jieqi Xiaoxiao Le".
But besides spiritual power, another important key to the Calamity Elimination Game is the power of life force.
Qing Jiu entrusted this matter to the Grand Elder: "Since the launch of 'Farm Battle,' Qingqiu has planted and harvested a total of 439,156 spiritual plants, of which 300,000 were accelerated to maturity by the array. The number of times the clansmen practiced the power of life to amplify the array is unknown. I have now used the collected power of life to suppress the energy of calamity thirteen times in 'Eliminating Calamity.'"
"So many!" The Second Elder was shocked. She had just purchased 100,000 seeds from the Monkey Clan and the Rat Clan two months ago, but the clan had already planted 400,000 spiritual plants.
The elder smiled broadly: "This is all thanks to 'Farm Battle'. The clansmen can only play the game for four hours. After being forced offline, they will come to the farm to continue planting, using spiritual power to accelerate the ripening and harvesting. Over time, they have accumulated a considerable amount."
The Third Elder nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I will continue planting after my four-hour visit. Over time, I feel my control over spiritual energy is becoming more proficient, and I have hope of breaking through to a higher cultivation level. Thank you, Fairy Yuanyi, for giving the Qingqiu clan this opportunity."
"Huh? Farm Battle has this function too?" Upon hearing the Third Elder's words, Yuan Yi, the game's creator, was dumbfounded. Wasn't this just a simple farming game? At most, it simplified the farming process and could beautify the environment and freshen the air.
How come it suddenly became a cultivation tool in the mouth of the Third Elder?
The more she said, the more mistakes she would make, so Yuan Yi simply nodded and smiled. After all, she couldn't cultivate herself, so she would wait until she returned to ask her brother for his opinion.
"And the cultivation of the young members of the clan..." The Third Elder wanted to continue thanking Yuan Yi.
Qing Jiu interrupted in time: "Today's discussion is about the operation of 'Jie Qi Xiao Xiao Le'. We can discuss unrelated matters later."
The Third Elder then realized he had said too much and promptly shut up and returned to his seat.
Qing Jiu continued, "The Fox Clan has completed preparations for the 'Eliminating Calamity' game and is just waiting to set a date to operate and purify the earth's veins."
"I wonder if the fairy has any other plans? Would you like to choose an auspicious day?"
If there's an auspicious day, the sooner the better. The earth vein calamity energy keeps bothering Yuan Yi, causing her so much pain that she wants to dig it all out right now.
However, the initial release of the game cannot be so hasty. Now, Farm Battle has been unanimously recognized by the Qingqiu market, and Jieqi Elimination has also had practical experience in Wuzhuang Temple.
With full confidence, to launch the game to the entire prehistoric world, the bigger the publicity for such a large-scale first release, the better.
Good wine needs no bush, but given the current state of information and transportation in Honghuang, we should definitely take this opportunity to spread our word.
Yuan Yi: "The game 'Eliminate the Calamity' can start at any time, but on the day of its launch, members of all races should come to witness it. My goal is to let as many people as possible know about this game."
Qingqiu has always maintained good relations with all races, and Qingjiu immediately understood what Yuanyi meant when she said that.
"Don't worry, Fairy Yuanyi. I have some influence among the various clans, and I will definitely invite them all." Qing Jiu assured her that it was just a matter of inviting a few people to the Qingqiu clan's territory.
Returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night. Now that Qingqiu has prospered, it's time to let those people see the light. This matter will definitely be handled perfectly by Fairy Yuanyi.
Yuan Yi had complete confidence in Qing Jiu's abilities, but the next matter needed to be discussed carefully: "I plan to record a video to promote 'Jie Qi Xiao Xiao Le' this time."
