Chapter 26



It is a tradition to invite the top ten for interviews in each innovation program, so as soon as this year's ranking came out, the organizer sent invitations to the top ten to participate in the interview.

Of course, the main problem was that his good friend Lake had been pushing him to send out interview invitations ever since the results came out. He was such a socially anxious and mysterious figure, but he would pop in from time to time and ask, "Have you sent out the invitations?" The organizers were so annoyed that they didn't even bother to complain about his character collapse.

Oh yes, I have been repeating the same thing as 'Why hasn't he replied to me yet' for the past few hours.

The organizer directly closed the chat channel with Lake, took a look at the final ranking of the innovation plan, and finally subconsciously opened the discussion area of ​​"Shan Hai Lu".

I don't know when it started, but he likes to hang out in the "Shan Hai Lu" discussion area whenever he has time and check out the interesting topics there. Obviously, he doesn't play this game himself - because for the sake of fairness and justice, all internal personnel of the innovation program - except for reviewers who are not related to the review, are not allowed to play any games in the innovation program before the results of the program selection are announced. This is to avoid favoritism and black box operations.

For this reason, the organizer has heard the staff members privately lament many times that they missed the "One Battle to Become a God" event in "Shan Hai Lu". Many out-of-print appearances and some pendants are no longer available, and there is also the card draw increase. If they miss this card draw increase, they don't know when they will be able to encounter an event with a higher probability of drawing Nuwa cards again. I heard that Nuwa is notoriously difficult to draw.

After hearing this, the organizer...his heart was bleeding.

However, in this interview on the Innovation Plan, the producer of "Shan Hai Lu" has already responded that he will attend. I wonder if he can quietly ask the producer when they meet whether there will be any channels to obtain those out-of-print items in the future.

With this expectation, the organizer entered the discussion area of ​​"Shan Hai Lu", intending to see if there was anything new to relax him, and then continue to write the interview script. As a result, when he entered, he did not see anything new, but saw a serious title floating at the top of the discussion area.

A brief discussion of the world view and timeline in Shanhailu, some immature analysis, if you have different opinions, please feel free to discuss

Because the title was too serious, the organizer who just came to watch the fun and relax didn't want to click on it at first. After browsing around, he found that there were very few posts about fun today, so he clicked on this post after browsing for a long time.

The post was posted by Hewlett.

In order to prove that his analysis was well-founded, he posted his own mountain and sea scroll at the beginning - which is the name of the partner illustration in "Shan Hai Lu".

[Hewlett: We only need one more scroll, the Emperor Jun Mountain and Sea, to complete the collection. In order to include Emperor Jun's background story, I asked those who drew Emperor Jun to transcribe his background story for me. So far, all the companions' stories have been included.]

Those who clicked in without any preparation were caught off guard and were shown the wrong way.

[Wow, wow! The story is fully unlocked. How much materials do I need to get to max out my favorability? This is a lot of hard work. I want to know how much Hongmeng Purple Qi you drew.]

[Damn it, it's so bright! What blinded my eyes?! ]

[Catch up with the live broadcast, squatting in the front row]

The host scrolled past the meaningless scrolling and continued to watch Hewlett's speech.

[Hewlett: First of all, let’s talk about the worldview. This has been discussed many times in this forum. I believe everyone has a lot of opinions. Let me share mine.

When I first encountered Shanhailu, I was impressed by its worldview: a mess. This feeling often comes with games that overspread their settings, and Shanhailu is particularly large. The twelve existing SSRs alone have three distinct systems, plus the various SRs and Rs. It felt like someone with no experience in game development had haphazardly stitched together elements—but it turned out I was naive.

The producers of "Record of Mountains and Seas" exposed the order of this apparent chaos in a rather rough way during this large-scale event.

Dragons and phoenixes are demons, Zhurong and Gonggong are witches, and, before this, I'd never considered them equal to other races. Nuwa's background shows her as a demon, but as the mother of humanity, she leans towards humans. I won't discuss that here. The reason I'm certain that humans are considered equal to demons and witches in the Shanhai worldview is mainly due to the mentions of several people in the background stories of several SRs.

After hearing such a well-reasoned statement, the onlookers stopped commenting and waited quietly for Hewlett's analysis.

Since the producer of "Shan Hai Lu" has never personally come out to explain the world view, the players who are attracted by the world view of "Shan Hai Lu" can only supplement their understanding by looking at the speculations of the big guys.

Because what ordinary players can see is the simplest thing presented to them by the producer, and the deeper and unspoken things need some people to dig them out, break them down carefully and understand them, and sometimes they even have to use a magnifying glass to pick out the words one by one.

This is also something that many producers like to see. They lay the clues for players to dig out. If the players guess correctly, they can look forward to it in advance and use the pie to hook them. If they guess incorrectly, it will be a surprise when the producer takes the initiative to reveal it.

Hewlett continued his analysis.

The story of Jingwei mentions Yandi, and the story of Nüba and Yinglong mentions Huangdi. Based on the descriptions, Yandi and Huangdi are likely great leaders of the human race. Furthermore, the story of Fengbo and Yushi mentions a figure named Chiyou, who appears to be a tribal leader. The descriptions of these SR companions alone suggest that these individuals must have grand themes, but none of them have appeared yet.

Based on our current timeline, I have talked with many SR partners. For them, whether it is the battle between the dragon and the phoenix, the collapse of Mount Buzhou or Nuwa mending the sky, they all happened a long time ago. So I guess that except for the main SSR partners, the SR partners will not be released according to the current timeline. Some of them are equivalent to [the future].

In their future, the primary conflict will be between humans themselves. Human conflict can even affect other races. Huangdi can command Yinglong and Nüba, and Chiyou can call upon Fengbo and Yushi for assistance. What does this indicate? It means that the demon and witch tribes will no longer engage in frequent fights, threatening to bring the sky down at any moment, as they do now. Otherwise, the human race wouldn't engage in frequent internal strife even when faced with greater external threats.

This analysis seems... quite reasonable. The organizers were just watching it casually at first, but gradually became convinced after listening to it.

After digesting Hewlett's information, other players also started posting [Awesome], [Worship the Master], and [If I guessed right, I'll come back and pay my respects to the Master].

However, there are also other voices raising different questions.

[Xingchen: But the demon and witch tribes, based on their background, should have been formed from parts of Pangu's body after his death, while the human race was simply molded from clay by Nuwa. If the human race can be considered on the same level as the other two tribes, then what about Nuwa? She's a demon, right?]

Hewlett: I really don't know. Nuwa's backstory is limited to what we know so far, but I've always felt she's a bit more special than the other demons. We'll have to wait and see what the producers decide next.

The organizer had an idea and wrote down the various questions that arose here, intending to use them as topics for a question-and-answer session at the interview meeting in two days.

Game-related questions and answers are also a fixed process in the innovation program interviews. However, for the previous innovation programs, it was just a formality. After all, there was nothing particularly innovative. The producers were asked to talk about their mental journey during the production process, some ideas for the follow-up of the game, etc. However, this time... the organizer felt that the original number of questions might not be enough.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Time quickly arrived and it was the day of the innovation plan interview.

The interview was conducted in a live broadcast format in a virtual room built by the organizer of the innovation program. The top ten producers entered the virtual room when the agreed time was approaching and waited for the interview to begin.

No, there is still one person who hasn't come.

The organizer was not in a hurry, as there was still some time before the agreed time. It was not surprising that some people liked to arrive on time. However, he saw that his friend Lake was quite anxious. After arriving, he sat alone in a place, frequently looking at the door of the virtual room.

[Why hasn’t he come yet?.jpg]

[Isn't he coming?

[Urgent.jpg]

In the eyes of the host who knows what kind of personality Lake is, Lake is like this, but in the eyes of the audience and fans who don't know his true nature...

[Is Mr. Lake starting to get impatient?]

[Wow, so cool, not talking to other producers at all, worthy of him!]

[After all, we are not on the same level, so it is normal to be too lazy to pay attention]

↑God knows what the filter looks like in the eyes of fans.

As time passed, there were two "knock knocks" outside the door of the virtual room, which had been silent for a long time. Interstellar people generally do not have the habit of knocking on the door. In reality, the smart butler will know before the visitor approaches. In the virtual world, things like doors are directly a piece of data, and you just have to walk through it. Therefore, when the knock on the door sounded, the host was stunned for a moment before reacting, and quickly controlled the door of the virtual room to open.

A 'person', painted entirely in black and white with extremely simple lines, but with facial features that were strangely vivid, stood at the door of the virtual room.

"Sorry, I'm a little late." The 'person' said, "I'm not late, am I?"

The people in the virtual room and the audience in the live broadcast room were stunned.

【???】

【What's this? ? 】

[It scared me so much, I thought a strange beast had appeared...]

[It’s the producer… so weird.jpg]

[Wait, there's only one person left who hasn't arrived yet. When the nine producers went in just now, the organizer greeted them all individually. The producer of "Shan Hai Lu" wasn't among them. Could this be...?]

——Among the audience watching the live interview, there are many players and fans of "Shan Hai Lu".

The author has something to say:

From then on, the impression of the players of Shanhailu on the producer was: a strange beast, not a human.

Then when Gun Gun followed Chi You into the arena—did the producer implement it?!

Xu Piao is not used to appearing in physical or original appearance because...

What's the difference between appearing on StarNet with your own appearance and using your own photo as the profile picture on a social account?

But the Pandaren emoticon is very normal, so

Gone with the Wind: It's not me who's abnormal, it's this world
