Yu Mao is a reviewer for the innovation program. On this day, he was reviewing newly submitted games as usual, and skillfully and numbly selected a newly submitted game for testing.
As expected, this is another game maker who regards novelty as innovation.
Seeing the gameplay progress from horror and violence to pornography, Yu Mao yawned, expressionlessly marked it as failed, then exited, returned, and opened the next game, all in one go.
Since the launch of the Innovation Program, in addition to the vast majority of standard competitive games, a small number of opportunists have chosen to take a different approach, creating bizarre R-18 games to compete. While this type of content isn't prohibited by the League, it's absolutely not permitted in the Innovation Program.
In addition, since Lake reached the top a month ago, many low-end models that followed suit have suddenly emerged, and these also need to be eliminated.
Yu Mao finished reviewing several games awaiting review. Seeing that the number of games awaiting review had not decreased much, and that several new developers had even submitted games, he couldn't help but feel deeply exhausted mentally.
Hey, didn't he say that these creators don't even see the word "innovation" in the Innovation Program? Look at all these submissions, how many are truly innovative? Thankfully, the submission period for the Innovation Program ends tomorrow. Yu Mao figures that after this reviewer role, he'll probably give up gaming for over a year. This reviewer position is truly effective for kicking a gaming addiction.
Just at this moment, another newly submitted game quietly lay in his waiting list for review. At this time, Yu Mao did not notice that the cover of this game was a woman with a human body and a snake tail. He sped up and continued to review the game numbly, hoping that after reviewing the games assigned to him, he could quickly log off and leave the holographic game cabin.
Every game, when you first open it, either asks you to prepare for battle, or prepare to escape, or you have to kill strange creatures face to face. In short, the fighting is all different.
After a while, seeing that there were only a few games left on the list for review, Yu Mao became even more anxious. Just like the countless times he entered other game worlds, he clicked on the next game without even looking at the cover or the game name.
His eyes went dark, and his body subconsciously prepared to fight or escape, but he found that after a few seconds, no new picture appeared in front of his eyes, and it was still pitch black.
Huh?
Are there bugs at the start of the game?
Yu Mao took a few tentative steps and was about to retreat and enter again, but he found that the scene in front of him had changed.
In the darkness, a faintly glowing lotus appeared.
The petals of the lotus slowly opened from a closed state and gradually grew larger. When the lotus was fully open, a giant was born in the darkness.
Yu Mao realized that this was the CG of this game, because it was different from the opening of other submitted games, so he patiently watched it.
Just this one look and everything that happened afterwards overturned Yu Mao's cognition.
"When the universe was first created, the heaven and earth were in chaos. There was a giant in the world, and his name was Pangu. (Note)" A distant female voice sounded in Yu Mao's ears. Yu Mao held his breath unconsciously, and for some reason he understood the meaning of this sentence.
The name of this giant was Pangu.
"Eighteen thousand years later, the heaven and the earth were created." As the female voice narrated, the giant named Pangu swung his giant axe and chopped the darkness in the void, splitting the darkness. Half of the split darkness began to rise and became the sky, and the other half sank and became the earth.
The voice said that after Pangu died, his head and muscles turned into mountains, his eyes turned into the sun and moon, his blood turned into rivers, his hair turned into flowers and trees, and his breath turned into the wind... (Note)
"How is this possible..." Yu Mao couldn't help but mutter in the grand scene of creation.
The giants in this interstellar civilization's cognition are more like the Titans in Greek mythology. Although they are huge in size, they are still within the range of human cognition. He simply cannot imagine that there would be a giant like Pangu who can split the sky and the earth.
After a long while, until this groundbreaking CG was finished, Yu Mao finally breathed a sigh of relief. "...A completely original world view?"
The real gameplay of the game appeared after the CG ended, but at this time Yu Mao's tiredness was almost swept away, and he looked at the game world with amazement.
Because of the unique style of painting, he had a feeling that this game would become a dark horse.
After watching the CG, the normal novice guidance process began. Yu Mao was taken to a palace above the clouds in the sky. After becoming familiar with the various operations in the game, he came to... the card drawing process.
In order to retain players during the novice period, Xu Piao generously gave them a ten-draw streak during the novice period. At this time, Yu Mao drew the ten-draw streak given to the novice.
Yu Mao placed ten props named [Hongmeng Purple Qi] into a pool in the center of the palace with some novelty. He saw a white light emerging from the pool, and then strange-looking creatures walked out of the pool one by one. Most of these creatures had a human shape, but their bodies either had fish tails or bird wings, or both, or they had no eyes or several heads.
There are even some with the direct name of XX corpse.
Yu Mao felt a little scared and couldn't help but wonder to himself, could this game be some ridiculous and bizarre game?
The characters' images all have a bad effect on their sanity.
When Yu Mao didn't notice, every time he drew out these ten characters, the word R flashed.
When Xu Piao was designing the characters, because it was difficult to rank the combat power of R cards and SR cards, and some characters' combat power was not very high but they were still relatively famous, it felt a bit wasteful to put them in R cards, so she added a lot of anthropomorphic beasts/human heads replaced with human bodies to the R cards, and retained the characteristics of the beasts. Generally speaking, the human and non-human forms in the R cards are about 50-50.
At that time, Yu Mao didn't know that ten consecutive Rs were a symbol of being a poor person. After drawing the cards, he continued to follow the novice guide to experience the rest of the gameplay. The more he played, the more surprised he felt. Unknowingly, the trial account he used for review was almost level five. He realized that he still had games to review, and he didn't want to end it.
At this time, Yu Mao had accumulated a new ten consecutive draws. Before exiting the game world, he went to the Cloud Palace to draw cards again and threw the new ten Hongmeng Purple Qi into the pool. This time, some strange-looking creatures walked out of the pool again, and in the middle were two characters who looked more delicate and powerful, named Rain Master and Nine-tailed Fox. When these two characters came out, the pool flashed with purple light.
Yu Mao didn't count how many people came out. Seeing that no light emerged from the pool, he clicked to exit the game world.
But the moment he clicked to exit the game world, an extremely bright light suddenly emerged from the pool, and he knew at a glance that he had drawn a very powerful character.
A vague shadow emerged in the pool.
"Wait...!" Yu Mao hurriedly tried to stop and exit.
But it was too late. The progress bar for exiting the game world reached the end, and Yu Mao popped out of the game world in a snap. It was so fast that the golden light from the pool seemed to be still printed on his retina.
Just before leaving the game world, Yu Mao felt that he vaguely heard a majestic and compassionate female voice.
"My name is Nuwa..."
…
At this moment, Yu Mao felt a faint sense of emptiness in his heart as he looked at the list of games awaiting review.
So what did he get in the end?
Knowing clearly that he had drawn a very powerful character, but having exited too quickly to see what he had drawn, Yu Mao was still thinking about how powerful he was, as if he was being scratched by claws.
Unfortunately, the reviewer's account is a one-time record. Even if Yu Mao enters the game world again, his previous game record has been deleted and he has to start all over again.
He glanced at the name of the game on the pending review list, carefully memorized the name "Shan Hai Lu", and saw the label the game maker had given the game:
Primordial, card drawing, cultivation, battle
At this time, he understood the meaning of these labels, although this battle was not quite the same as the battle he understood... Yu Mao approved the game and watched "Shan Hai Lu" merge into the tens of thousands of games participating in the innovation plan voting like a drop of water in the ocean. Suddenly, he had a subtle premonition.
Lake's first place is on the line.
…
Xu Piao knew nothing about the world happening in the reviewer's place. Rushing to upload the game before the deadline for submissions to the Innovation Plan, she fell asleep. When she woke up and logged onto StarNet, she saw that the game she made had passed the review and quietly landed at the first position in [Games I Made] on her personal page.
After clicking, you can see that the number of registered players is still a big 0.
Xu Piao thought about it and added a notice in the game announcement: The first event will be launched ten days after the game is opened. The event is divided into three parts, namely [Dragon and Phoenix Catastrophe], [Buzhou Mountain Collapse], and [Nuwa Mending the Sky]. Each stage has a corresponding partner card draw UP.
[Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation] Phase: The chance of partners being increased is [SSR Yuanlong] [SSR Yuanfeng]
During the [Buzhou Mountain Collapse] phase, the chance of up-level partners is [SSR Gonggong] and [SSR Zhurong].
[Nuwa Patching the Sky] Phase: The chance of partner being increased to [SSR Nuwa]
Players please stay tuned (players above level 5 can participate in this event).
Xu Piao, who hadn't written a game announcement for a long time, carefully wrote and sent out this game announcement, then closed the computer page and ignored it.
No matter how many times you refresh the data in a day, it will still increase if it is supposed to increase, and it will not increase if it is not supposed to increase. It is better to do other things instead of worrying about the data instead of refreshing the data.
