Chapter 4



But does she have spiritual power? If so, how would she use it?

After Xu Piao walked into this completely blank door, he felt a little lost. After trying for a long time, he still couldn't find the key. In desperation, he tried to call out the robotic female voice that was probably artificial intelligence: "Is there a beginner's guide? Give me a beginner's guide?"

The mechanical female voice did appear.

[Okay.] The mechanical female voice said, [Please forget your form, forget your very existence. In creative mode, you are the creator. Only by immersing yourself in this space can you create from the perspective of the creator.]

...It sounds a bit idealistic.

But now there was no other way except to do it this way. Xu Piao closed his eyes and followed the instructions of the mechanical female voice, slowly clearing his mind and his five senses. This process was just like forcing himself to not think about anything when he couldn't fall asleep.

After being empty-minded for an unknown amount of time, Xu Piao's feelings changed.

Without opening her eyes, an entire space appeared in her 'vision'. It was not limited to one place, but the entire space seemed to be under her gaze, and... at this moment, this space was like a part of her body.

Xu Piao's heart moved, and a small spot of green appeared in the blank space. It was a green meadow, spreading from the feet of Xu Piao who was standing in the blank space with his eyes closed.

At the same time, the chirping of insects, the sound of wind, the moist soil, butterflies... whatever Xu Piao conceived of in his mind appeared intact in this space.

And on the grass, a small white ball of fluff appeared out of thin air. One, two, three, four... a total of nine tails grew on the small ball of fluff. Then it rolled on the grass and grew limbs and a head.

The first creature Xu Piao created was a nine-tailed fox, a creature that only existed in fantasy and legend.

The white nine-tailed fox, which looked to be a juvenile from the outside, made sweet and coquettish cries, and ran on the grass with its paws tucked in, curiously, as if it really had intelligence. After it got tired of running, it returned to Xu Piao, lay beside her, and occasionally shook its nine fluffy white fox tails.

However, as the creator, Xu Piao certainly knew that these behaviors were set by her.

Xu Piao opened her eyes and sat down on the grass. She reached out and touched the fur of the nine-tailed fox. It felt like touching a handful of white clouds. She rubbed the fur of the nine-tailed fox with one hand while continuing to build other things.

Because the game she was responsible for before she transmigrated into the book was based on the ancient mountains and seas, Xu Piao had to study the Classic of Mountains and Seas over and over again to come up with the gameplay. As a result, she was very familiar with the creatures in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and could even draw a map of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Furthermore, Xu Piao was naturally interested in history and mythology, and was also good at memorizing them.

So this was the first thing she thought of when building this game space.

Qiongqi, Yingyu, strange snake, Bifang, Tiangou... all kinds of strange creatures flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, enrich this originally monotonous space, and at the same time the terrain is also changing.

In fact, when she was searching for information before, she vaguely discovered that although some things in this world have some similarities with her world, such as people's names, which are a mixture of Chinese and Western, and the fact that the whole world speaks Chinese, this is probably because the author of the book she wore is from the Flower-Growing Family, but in the setting of the world background, there is no Earth culture, let alone Chinese culture.

This is because the original author gave this interstellar world an independent worldview and history when making the settings, but this also made it convenient for Xu Piao.

That’s right, Xu Piao had already planned to participate in the innovation program when he knew that game production was so simple.

Speaking of innovation, what is more "innovative" than the culture that does not exist in this world but has been passed down for at least five thousand years in another world?

What's more... well, the mountain and sea theme was the project she was working on before she traveled through the book. Now is the time when the impression is still very clear. Some things can be copied directly without any effort, which can greatly increase the production speed and just solve the urgent problem.

So the theme was decided. As for what type of game to make... After careful consideration, Xu Piao finally chose a card-drawing battle game.

Again, what she lacks most now is money, and card drawing games are the most profitable game type in a short period of time. I guess the people in StarCraft have not experienced the fun of card drawing games (laughs)

However, she can't use the exotic beasts from the mountains and seas that she has made to practice in the card-drawing game to cheat money. It doesn't seem like she has much desire to draw the cards, so at least it has to be in human form. If you want to cheat money, the most basic thing is to make the character look good.

Xu Piao thought for a moment and quickly decided on his initial role.

Although the material is taken from ancient mythology, the character's personality still needs to be set separately. The R card is easy to do. Just modify the mountain and sea beasts that she created during practice and arrange some skills. It doesn't need to be too many. You can get 30 R cards first, and then arrange some intermediate combat power for the SR.

Although in this world without the inheritance of Chinese civilization, there may not be anyone fighting for strength.

It is not easy to choose SSR. In the early stage, twelve are enough. The others need to be hidden. You can't release Pangu, Hongjun, Luohou and others right away.

Although her purpose is to cheat people out of money, when making games, you should cheat people out of money when you should, and you should be conscientious when you should. You still have to focus on sustainable development.

So after thinking for a while, Xu Piao decided on the initial twelve SSRs.

Xu Piao, who has a bit of symmetry obsession in some aspects, decided to divide the twelve SSRs into six females and six males, and considering the plot line, he also deliberately included a few with interactive plots.

The twelve SSRs are Nuwa, Fuxi, Donghuang Taiyi, Dijun, Queen Mother of the West, Xihe, Wangshu, Long, Feng, Gonggong, Zhurong, and Houtu.

It just so happened that Xu Piao was familiar with the character's biographical stories, so she could just write them in without having to write them herself. The more time-consuming part was that she needed to construct the images of these gods, and then design their skill values ​​and balance.

If this lineup was put in Xu Piao's original time, many combat-powered players would probably start a fight, saying why so-and-so has the same rarity as so-and-so, and that they have never heard of so-and-so's name, etc.

However, here Xu Piao doesn't have to worry too much about the issue of combat power. The main thing is to choose a more attractive story, a better constructed image and a better-looking one to retain people.

The battle between the dragon and the phoenix can be used as a plot, Gonggong and Zhurong fighting Mount Buzhou can be used as a plot, and then Nuwa repairing the sky.

That’s right, in order to retain players to the maximum extent, Xu Piao decided to start three consecutive major events directly after the game was opened.

——

But it’s too early to say these things, as there is no SSR yet.

Xu Piao felt the snow-white nine-tailed fox cub beside him change its position, lying on its back, shaking its tail and yawning. He couldn't help but reach out and rub the white fox's cloud-like fur. "Don't worry, with your fame, you can definitely get a SR."

However, she had never thought about what image the nine-tailed fox should have. She had seen the image of the delicate, charming and seductive nine-tailed fox so many times in various mobile games and web games that she was a little aesthetically tired of it. How about making it look like a handsome fox spirit?

But this nine-tailed fox is still a cub, so cute, it seems like a shota or a loli would be nice, or it would be better if it has no gender at all.

Xu Piao didn't plan to create both the SR and SSR images when he first built the prototype, so he just thought about it in his mind without taking any direct action.

There is no need to worry about R cards. Just make a few strange beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. After making the R cards, Xu Piao started to build the map.

"The head of the mountain is called Zhaoyao Mountain, which overlooks the Western Sea. It is rich in laurel, gold, and jade. There is a grass there that looks like a leek and is green and bright. It is called Zhuyu... There is a beast there that looks like a monkey but has white ears. It ambushes people who walk by. It is called a monkey. If you eat it, it will make you run faster." (Note 1)

So the first point on the map is Zhaoyao Mountain, which is just right as a level one copy.

Xu Piao thought about the Shan Hai Jing, which described the flowers and plants, what would happen if eaten, the trees, what would happen if eaten, and the animals, what abilities could be gained by eating them. While doing this, he quietly added an animal and plant illustration system and a recipe system.

You said you want to make a holographic game. It would be a waste if we can't collect the flowers, plants and trees on the mountain. If we collect them but they are of no use, we will be criticized. It would be better to put the recipes from the Classic of Mountains and Seas to use.

After finishing Zhaoyao Mountain, Xu Piao moved on to Qianlai Mountain, Shanhu Mountain, and so on. She was able to draw the maps of Shanhaijing with her bare hands, and it was not too difficult to make all of them according to the characteristics. However, when Xu Piao was working on it, the map suddenly got stuck when it extended to a certain point in the seemingly boundless space.

"Huh?" Xu Piao, who was building a map with his eyes closed, exclaimed, and when he cast his "gaze" over to that place, he discovered that the grassland mountain range could not expand any further when it extended to that place, and there was a vast white space fault in front of it.

This situation is very similar to encountering an air wall.

Xu Piao asked the mechanical female voice what was going on.

[The free space in each space is fixed. If you need more space, you need to purchase it according to the amount of space you use.]

“??? Buy space???”

Xu Piao never expected it to be like this.

“How much does one square meter cost?”

【one thousand. 】

Xu Piao: "...Forget it."

There are more than 460 mountains in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but Xu Piao has only built five and there is no more space. How much space should she buy to be enough? Besides, she is penniless now, and there are still activity copies and player homes that have not been built.

Xu Piao looked at the five mountains that covered a particularly large area, and reluctantly cut them in half from the middle, turning the five mountains into ten smaller mountains. He did not arrange the mountains one by one in order, but chose mountains with more distinctive features.

The activity copy must be done, but we have to see where we can make some space.

Since it is calculated based on square meters, then she should make use of the vertical space. It would be nice to make the activity copy into a tower climbing, build a layer-by-layer monster-suppressing tower, and place the player's home in the cloud. Otherwise, build a palace?

The author has something to say:
