"Honey, what are you running around in the spaceship for?"
An alien stopped its eight legs and said, "I am accumulating steps. I have a game here, "Seed Journey", and I need to accumulate steps to unlock the next type of seeds."
"Game? Accumulate steps?" The alien's partner curled up his legs in confusion. "It sounds... a bit boring. But since you like it so much, I'll play it too."
It quickly downloaded "Seed Journey" and found that it could choose its own image. It decisively chose the multi-handed race. After all, it already had multi-legs in reality, but it had not yet experienced the feeling of having multiple hands. Although it had learned about the Internet speed of Starship beforehand, it was still surprised by the smooth experience.
"Seed Journey" shows that it is stranded on a desolate planet, but the former owner of this place left a piece of seeds. You can accumulate energy through steps or hanging up, and then unlock the seeds.
"Is there Wollweed here? I remember it was very cute. In the game, you can choose the type of soil and decorate the garden... Although this gameplay is very old, it is very classic." The alien operated quickly and quickly completed the entire novice process. Then he received the first letter, which was left by the previous owner of the deserted planet.
The owner of the desolate planet comes to work in a flower shop because of his secret crush, hoping to get close to her and get the upper hand.
Who knew that my childhood friend also worked here, and the two of them didn't get along well, and they started bickering as soon as they met.
The owner of the desolate planet lamented that his wonderful secret love experience was about to be ruined by this guy.
When the alien's partner saw this, the corners of his mouth rose to his forehead.
With its excellent love experience, the owner of the wild planet is definitely a good match with his childhood friend! Look at their familiar quarrel mode, the way they subconsciously protect each other when the vase falls, and the inexplicable bitterness after being rejected by the other party. And you still say that you are not having an affair! You are clearly having an affair! The owner of the wild planet, don't be stubborn, it is obviously your childhood friend that you care about the most! If your childhood friend behaves a little more gently, you will be very sad! The two of you should break the window paper and confess!
And the crush is not a bad person, he has been trying to bring the two together intentionally or unintentionally. It can be said that all the characters are helping this couple. Seeing that the other characters are smiling knowingly at the two, the aliens are also patting their thighs.
"That's right! This character is exactly like me in the book! He's so good at talking! Ahhh, press your head for me!"
"Huh? It's gone?"
The partner felt like he was poured with a bucket of cold water.
"How can there be no such thing! I want to continue unlocking seeds! I want to see sweet love!"
The alien who was accumulating steps nearby walked around, looked at the light computer, and shouted: "I have enough steps, I can unlock the Rubbra flower!"
"Let me see!" The friend who had just been playing the game ran over quickly.
The newly unlocked clip is called "Quarrel", which tells the story of a misunderstanding between the owner of the desolate planet and his childhood friend, which led to a quarrel and both sides felt uncomfortable.
Their hearts were immediately gripped.
"Why is it gone again?"
The alien was about to continue running circles in the spaceship to accumulate steps. Fortunately, it had eight legs.
"Strange, the plot is a bit incoherent." The partner wondered, "Although I can understand it when I read it separately, it seems that the timelines of the two events are not continuous."
The aliens who were about to run in circles stopped to watch the two clips and agreed with their partners. They then went to the game review area to look for answers and found a long guide posted by a user named "Soma".
Soma: "Seed Journey, the sweet miracle of the blue planet!
"As we all know, Blue Star is a race with a high level of literature, so what is the level of the advanced text derivatives it has built? Judging from the performance of "Seed Journey" on the first day of its release, it is only around 200th, which is considered an upper-middle score among many derivatives, and is not comparable to the reputation of Blue Star. But did Blue Star reveal any shortcomings this time? I think not, and some of the shortcomings may even be intentional.
“The gameplay of Seed Journey is very simple, even a bit classic. You accumulate steps, hang up, plant plants, and unlock segments. It can be said that the essence of the whole game is in the plot. But it is not completely without playability, because except for the first plot, the segments it unlocks are random within a range. But in order to facilitate readers' understanding, you must first unlock the plot line of the first year before you can unlock the second year.
"This gives readers more room for imagination and motivation to collect. It turns out that this happened between you visiting the antique city and watching the movie. It turns out that the joke you were arguing about originated from here. When I filled in the gaps in the entire plot, I also gained a beautiful flower field. I am not only repairing the desolate planet, but also repairing my memory.
"Speaking of the plot, I have to give it a 10-star rating. I used to think that only melodramatic twists and turns could reflect the depth of emotions, but now I know I was wrong. As long as you have the writing skills, even the smallest things can be written in a funny way! The happiest thing is to ship a couple! They must be together! Melodrama is dead, sweet stories are in! By the way, this Blue Star Wenhuo must be in a sweet relationship, and I can sense his feelings for his lover from the text. Also, if you can't grow a certain plot, you can use seeds to synthesize it."
"Finally, let's talk about this classic gameplay. I think it is also a part of the expression of emotions. The gameplay is closely related to the plot. In this impetuous interstellar era, the fate between creatures is always shallow, and everything is new. However, the author Wen Huo uses a counterintuitive style to write about warm and sweet emotions. He also uses the abandoned classic gameplay to call on the ancient memory of beautiful emotions in the hearts of players. In that era, the distance of emotions was short, and people had enough time to get along...
Therefore, I think that "The Journey of Seeds" should be a masterpiece! "
The aliens were instantly enlightened when they saw it, and that was exactly the feeling!
It turns out that this gameplay was set up intentionally.
This is such a great game!
The following player reviews also gave a string of positive reviews, all of which confirmed Soma's point of view.
"Yes, you can choose not to believe Wen Huo, but you have to believe the only novelist on Blue Star who is currently known to have a partner. What is this? A sweet love story on Blue Star! No melodrama! All the supporting characters are good people! Don't worry about the couple in the whole story! I'm going to copy it down and carve it on the engine of the spaceship!"
"People on Blue Star love farming, and I also feel a little bit of the fun of farming from this game. Let me show you my sea of flowers! [Screenshot]"
"Playing this game has made me get off my wheelchair and walk around in the dirt a few times, and I feel like life is better. It's really good."
Because of the random unlocking mechanism, the alien creatures see different plots. In order to see the desired plot quickly, they will inevitably share it with their relatives and friends. Some heard of the name of Blue Star and joined the game half-heartedly. Some relied on their trust in their relatives and friends and started playing with a blind eye. There are many players who closed the game before finishing the novice tutorial, but more players said that "Seed Journey" deserves a good review.
The number of positive reviews for "Seed Journey" is continuing to rise.
Soon, it rose from 201st to 200th.
The first 80 positions in the Planetary Art Exhibition were occupied by artists from the Starfleet. This suddenly emerging force was silently showing off its muscle to the universe with its literary level.
In the past few days, even the most peaceful starship people suddenly realized that they are one of the few in this universe.
Once a creature thinks it is powerful, it will lose sight of the path ahead. The starship belt has become increasingly restless.
“Our artwork is not meant to conquer, but to bring peace to the entire universe.”
Ongla, curator of the Starship Belt Museum and organizer of the Planetary Art Exhibition, spoke seriously to the cleaner Tula.
"You can't laugh at the guests of the Starfleet, even if they don't know how to operate advanced equipment, or because they were born in a war-torn environment and are not used to the peaceful atmosphere of the Starfleet."
Faced with the reproaches of the elders, Tula lowered its head in shame and admitted its mistakes in the past few days.
Wengla then said, "For the next five days, you will do voluntary labor for the guests and help them complete their works of art. You need to cultivate your body and mind and get rid of your low tastes."
"I see..." Tula said dejectedly.
It received a sign for voluntary labor and walked slowly towards the actor center.
The production process of derivative works in the Starfleet Zone is very clear: novelists produce texts, derivative production staff are responsible for achieving artistic effects, and actors perform. Novelists in the Starfleet Zone usually serve as production staff, so they are collectively called artists.
Here, being an actor is just a profession that is motivated by interest, and it is a two-way choice between being an artist and an actor. Actors are usually the first readers of the script and have a high level of reading skills.
Tula came to the actor center, sat next to the Starship people, and heard their discussion.
"The quality of the alien scripts for art exhibitions is relatively low. The aliens don't seem to know how to write scripts. There is a long paragraph of psychological description, but no scene description. How to allocate the shots?"
"Alien artists are not as professional as our artists. Aliens need a large team to complete a derivative. But we only need one artist."
"They have bad habits! They waste resources and are internally at odds. They are simply a loose group of sand."
"No wonder these aliens seem so afraid of us... The universe is weaker than I thought."
Tula couldn't help but feel a little angry when he heard this. So many companions on this starship thought that alien creatures were not worthy of respect, so why didn't Ongla realize it? But he had already received the badge of voluntary labor, so he could only accept his fate.
"Qianla, what are you looking at so intently?"
A voice suddenly sounded.
Qianla raised his head and said in a dazed tone: "This script is quite exciting."
When they heard there was an interesting script, the actors all gathered around and Tula couldn't even squeeze in.
An actor glanced at the script and saw that the format of the shots was correct, and the author on the cover only filled in a name, so he subconsciously thought it was an artist from the starship. It has higher requirements for its companions, so it is very alert, stretching its neck, and reading the text carefully.
[(Scene: On the rooftop of a tall building, black crows take flight, and police sirens sound gradually approaching)
Protagonist A (slowly raises the gun and points it at Protagonist B's back): Sorry, I'm an undercover agent. 】
…
“How could our artists create works with such intense emotions?”
"Incredible... It's just a small-scale gunfight, but the setting is so grim and the characters' emotions are so strong."
"Which new generation artist is it? Our new generation's emotions are a bit extreme, but their artistic cells are very active."
Many novelists turned back to the cover and were suddenly speechless.
There was only a short line of words written on the cover.
"Personality Undercover", author: Wen Huo, from Blue Star.
“He’s actually an alien artist…”
The actors' page-turning sounds were much quieter.
"It's actually Wenhuo?"
Tula thought of the few conversations he had with Xi Yujin. Although brief, they were unpleasant enough that he could not forget them. It was more painful for him to know that Wenhuo wrote this script than any other alien artist.
"I won't watch..."
Before Tula could finish his words, he was interrupted by another actor.
It was the first to read the script. Now it was full of energy and said clearly: "I will participate in this script. This must be an unforgettable experience in my acting career. And it was created by an alien artist, which is really rare."
"He can write, but he may not be able to shoot it." Another actor hesitated, and Tula turned his head away as if he saw a savior.
"I heard that Blue Star has a very good reputation in the universe. Among so many alien creatures, there is finally one whose strength matches its reputation. I don't want to miss it."
"This script is very exciting. I need to discuss it with Wen Huo quickly."
Many actors stood up and left, wanting to talk to Wen Huo. There was no need to compete for the leading or supporting roles, but it depended on the actor's understanding of the role. Even if it was a small role, the happiness was the same.
Tula watched his companions leave. One of the actors turned to him and said, "You don't seem to want to go? It's okay, you can find other alien artists to complete your voluntary work."
"Who said I don't want to go?" Tula gritted his teeth and decided to go together. He wanted to see what this Blue Star Warm Fire could do!
Many Starship actors arrived at the first planet of SYE-1832.
The filming location is at the boundary between day and night, but the temperature difference between the two sides is still very high. The Starship people do not have the strength of Ganuo, so they can only wear weighted space suits and land on the planet.
While helping to build the filming base, they also discussed the script with Lan Xing Wen Huo.
Wenhuo is truly a gentle and talented creature. This is what the Starfleet people who have communicated with him praised.
"And he's really good-looking. He's probably the best-looking creature on the starship..."
A Starship man was talking quietly to the creature next to him. Because of the space suit, he didn't recognize that it wasn't his companion.
Ganuo stared at Xi Yujin not far away and nodded affirmatively.
The shooting base mainly used a large film to block the strong radiation, so the Starship personnel dared to change into thin space suits. The glimmer particles flew up from the operating instrument and scattered everywhere to form the scene designed by Xi Yujin. Some glimmer particles were also attached to the heads of the Starship personnel, acting as hair in the later stage.
Xi Yujin had a pleasant chat with these Starship actors. Because there was no high salary involved, no exposure of the ranking or publicity materials involved, everyone simply cooperated to complete a work. The Starship actors have a high literary literacy and occasionally proposed suggestions for modifying the script. Xi Yujin refined the script after the discussion.
"Mr. Wen Huo, you actually wrote biographies for the supporting characters!" The actors were very impressed. Although this was a common thing among starship artists, Wen Huo was an alien, which refreshed their impression of aliens.
"My hand speed is quite fast." Xi Yujin replied.
"We need a lot of extras here. Can I join in?" asked an actor who did not get a main role.
Xi Yujin said of course.
In the past, starship artists usually did not want too many actors for the convenience of setting up the scene. Xi Yujin, however, thought that the more extras there were, the more realistic it would be, so he agreed.
He noticed that a Starfleet man had been staring at him and asked, "Do you want to join in, too?"
Being face-blind, he did not recognize that this was Tula, whom he had seen several times.
"I, I'm just here to do some voluntary labor!" Tula took a step back, "I won't play your part."
Xi Yujin didn't care and went to drive the micro-light particle operator. He looked around in the crowd and saw Ganuo coming out from the starship. He immediately locked onto him and talked and laughed with Ganuo. Even though his astronaut helmet was blocking his view, it couldn't hide his slightly shaking cherry-colored hair.
Glimmer particles floated out from the storage compartment. These were brand new glimmer particles. The glimmer particles used in Seed Journey had been sealed.
"Glimmer particles are a specialty of our starship belt. Even the creatures in the universe said they had never seen them before. It's incredible."
"Mr. Wen Huo doesn't know how the micro-light particles are made, right?"
While chatting, the actors watched the green particles infect the earth, gradually forming cramped and tall houses, forming a green city, right on the boundary between day and night. They couldn't help but sigh: "It's an unheard-of style... full of technology, but cramped and dark, visually suggesting that the living standards here are very different between the rich and the poor."
"I am looking forward to performing Wen Huo's script more and more."
The visual effects of "Personality Undercover" adopt the neon urban style of cyberpunk. Because the story itself has some flavor of Hong Kong movies on Earth, and the inspiration of cyberpunk comes from the port city of China, this high-contrast style is very suitable.
The protagonist of "Undercover" is called Yan Guangrong.
At the beginning of the film, Yan Guangrong was in his cramped home, yelling at another person in a state of collapse: "What are you doing? Going to be a henchman of Dark City? One day, I was taken to target practice, and it was all your fault. Do you know who I am? I am a police officer in White City! I have been fighting against those scumbags in Dark City all my life."
Another person, Yan Zhaohui, said with a weary look, "Just accept your fate. This is fate."
Yan Guangrong threw the mirror over and Yan Zhaohui hid.
It was already 12 noon, and the two went out to the convenience store together. During the time, Yan Guangrong kept muttering that Yan Zhaohui had killed him. They almost encountered a car accident along the way, and there were several robberies and people screaming. All of this suggested that the city was not peaceful.
Several police officers in Baicheng uniforms posted a bounty order. Yan Guangrong hurriedly pulled Yan Zhaohui to a side road and glared at him with disappointment.
This is the border between Dark City and White City. In theory, it is within the legal scope of White City. But Dark City has been eroding for a long time, and addictive drugs, Dreams, are transported to White City through this city. The police officers of White City want to destroy the passage here and intercept Dreams.
Yan Guangrong pulled Yan Zhaohui to the convenience store and tried to cover Yan Zhaohui's face with his hands.
Passersby looked at them with puzzled eyes.
Yan Zhaohui pushed Yan Guangrong away and said, "Are you stupid? They can't see me at all!"
Yan Zhaohui disappeared in an instant, and in the reflection of the convenience store door frame, only Yan Guangrong's strange figure was revealed.
He remembered that a few days ago, he received a report confirming his schizophrenia. He, a police officer in White City, had another personality that became the younger brother of the boss in Dark City. As for how it became like this, he had no memory at all.
Yan Guangrong took a plastic bag full of instant food, took off his hat and ran back home. In the dark, several people wearing sunglasses were staring at him from the opposite residential building.
…
To create movie-like derivatives, it is necessary to first shoot a low-light particle version, then simulate various special effects, so the starship actors have hair, and finally set different light spectra to facilitate viewing by different types of creatures.
After successfully uploading "Personality Stealth", Xi Yujin stretched his muscles and ran back to the planet where "Seed Journey" was located with Jia Nuo. They had to come here from time to time.
Next to the huge crater, there is a small green crack. The plant inside survives strongly, with little buds. This will be the first life to live on this planet.
Xi Yujin took off his space suit, exposing his arms, which began to glow.
Let’s send some sunshine to the plants today too!
