Chapter 1: Game Begins
Wen Zhengming is a time traveler. He has been in this world for twenty-four years.
This is an ordinary world. There are no high-flying knights or immortal cultivators who can move mountains and fill the sea.
Wen Zhengming is also an ordinary time traveler.
Apart from the fact that both his parents were dead and he was alone, he didn't seem to meet the characteristics of a time traveler at all.
"Twenty-four years is one cycle, and I have lived for another twenty-four years in vain."
In the study, Wen Zhengming sat in front of the computer, a little dazed.
The walls of the room are lined with various books, such as supernatural stories, myths, historical legends, etc.
Wen Zhengming's current occupation is a web novel writer. He has been single for many years and barely survives by relying on his good writing speed.
But it's just barely surviving. This way of living is not depressing, but it is extremely exhausting.
It's funny to say that these two lives are only about forty years, but it feels like a miserable life.
"My God, even bizarre things like time travel have happened. Can't my life be a little more eventful?"
Wen Zhengming leaned against the table, talking to himself with a vicissitudes of life tone, but in the end he could only sigh.
Life is like this, hoping for a miracle to happen every day, but there are not so many miracles in this world. Most people are content with the status quo and live a mediocre life.
"Let's play a game of King of Glory!"
Wen Zhengming shook his head and skillfully opened his mobile phone. For someone like him, games were the only way to while away the days.
"Timi..."
A familiar voice came, Wen Zhengming stretched his muscles, and when he lowered his head, the familiar King's page did not appear.
Instead, there was a game page that Wen Zhengming had never seen before.
Against a pure white background, five azure blue words appeared in the center of the screen: Game Designer.
The picture is rough and low-quality.
This made Wen Zhengming unconsciously think of Zha Zha Hui.
"The old scumbag has led a bunch of kids astray. Games haven't been so rude before."
Wen Zhengming pulled the screen and prepared to exit the page, but he could not find an exit sign on the entire screen.
Damn!
This is even more rogue than Lao Zha!
Wen Zhengming finally had no choice but to randomly tap the screen.
Suddenly, an exquisite game dialog box popped up on the screen, which looked even more exquisite than King of Glory.
You know, although a certain studio is called a mass grave, it has to be said that its image quality is still very high-end.
"This style of painting is the same as the quality of the 50 cents just now, are you serious?"
Wen Zhengming became interested. Could it be that he had encountered a game that was made with heart and promoted with feet?
He clicked on it, but the page that appeared disappointed Wen Zhengming.
There are only seven simple options on the mobile phone screen: map editor, character editor, skill editor, sect editor, secret realm editor, miscellaneous item editor and player qualification management and editing.
"I take that back. This is still a third-rate web game."
Wen Zhengming shook his head and searched the entire screen for the exit button, but he couldn't click on it for a long time. Instead, he clicked on the character editor page.
Swish!
A lot of data popped up on the page in an instant:
——
Character edit page:
Name: Unedited
Title: Unedited
Race: Unedited
Gender: Unedited
Level: Unedited
HP: Unedited
Mana: Unedited
Speed: Unedited
Stamina: Unedited
Power: Unedited
Hidden attributes: Unedited
Skills: Unedited
Character Background: Unedited
Background: Unedited
Exclusive mission: Unedited
Hidden Quest: Unedited
——
Wen Zhengming looked at the page on his phone and was a little speechless: "Are games nowadays so rogue? They don't even give us a chance to part ways amicably?"
After carefully browsing the contents on the screen, Wen Zhengming roughly understood the game. Was this a game he designed himself?
"It seems... a little interesting."
Wen Zhengming touched his chin.
"Since there's nothing else to do, let's take a look!"
Wen Zhengming reached out to the phone screen and began to fill in the data.
But he soon discovered that these data could not be filled in randomly, as information such as background and character information showed that the designer's level was not high enough to fill it in.
Information such as numerical values has an upper limit, the upper level is 9, and other attributes can be filled in at most 100.
“It’s quite rigorous.”
Wen Zhengming shrugged and then maxed out all the values.
Anyway, just play it casually. If it’s fun, consider continuing to play. If it’s not fun, then say goodbye.
Wen Zhengming filled in the form all the way down the page, and when he came to the skills, he realized that he even needed to edit the skills himself before filling them in.
"Are all third-rate web games so complicated? Don't you know that they are very discouraging?"
Wen Zhengming had no choice but to save the file, then returned to the main page and selected skill editing. Then another page popped up:
——
Skill writing page:
Skill Name: Unedited
Skill Possession Conditions: Unedited
Skill Effect: Unedited
Skill Effects: Unedited
——
The style is as simple as ever, but you can tell that these two pages were made by the same artist, and that this artist's aesthetic has begun to develop towards philosophy.
This disabled but strong-willed artist made Wen Zhengming doubt his life as he looked at the simple page.
Do you really want to continue playing?
Finally, Wen Zhengming started to fill it in. If he stopped filling it in now, wouldn't all the work he had done just now in vain?
As a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Wen Zhengming compromised with his obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Although I don’t have any expectations, I still fill it out to give it a try. If I lose, I won’t lose anything, and if I win, I will definitely make money.
After selecting the edit page, Wen Zhengming edited two skills:
Skill 1:
——
Skill Name: Fear
Skill Possession Condition: Race is Ghost
Skill Effect: Causes fear to all witnesses. Those with strong will can be partially exempted
Skill Effect: Surrounded by black air, causing visual impact on all witnesses
——
Skill 2:
——
Skill Name: Ghost Hand
Skill Possession Condition: Race is Ghost
Skill effect: As the right hand of a single evil spirit, anyone with a weak will who is touched by it will suffer 20% damage to his life, while those with a strong will can be partially exempted.
Skill Effect: Black gas will spread from the ghost hand to the body of the person who touches it. The size of the spreading area will be determined by the damage caused.
——
Looking at the two skills he edited, Wen Zhengming was very satisfied. Although he did not fill them out carefully, they were both third-rate online games, which was enough.
Wen Zhengming jumped back to the character editing page and completed the remaining information of the character. The final information is as follows:
——
Character edit page:
Name: Dead Ghost
Title: None
Race: Ghost
Gender: Male
Level: 9
HP: 100
Mana: 100
Speed: 100
Stamina: 100
Strength: 100
Skill:
1. Locking skill: Nothingness;
2. Fear
3. Ghost hands
Background: None
Background: None
Exclusive mission: None
Hidden tasks: None
——
Among them, the locking skill is the racial talent of the ghost race, and the rest are set by Wen Zhengming.
You know what, I actually feel a sense of accomplishment.
Wen Zhengming looked at his work and nodded with satisfaction, then clicked the Create button at the bottom of the page.
The picture changed instantly and became the character image setting.
Various eerie and terrifying characters appeared on the page.
“There are so many steps.”
Wen Zhengming selected a ghost model and then clicked the drop button at the bottom.
The scene instantly changed to a huge blue planet, which was rotating in the endless starry sky.
The page gives a prompt: Please select the delivery location!
"A 1:1 model of the Earth?"
Wen Zhengming was a little surprised. He slowly zoomed in on the blue planet. In an instant, countless scenes magnified, as if he was looking down from the sky. Countless tall buildings seemed as small as ants.
"There's something about this map. It was made with great care."
Wen Zhengming manipulated the map and first found Huaxia, then found Yucheng.
Finally, he placed the video he edited called “Dead Ghost” just two streets away from his home.
At this time, another pop-up window popped up: Please select the activity range of the "dead ghost".
Wen Zhengming selected a commercial street in the map box and clicked OK.
Then a voice sounded in Wen Zhengming's ears:
"The launch is successful, the designer game officially begins!"
………
At the same time, two streets away from Wen Zhengming's home, at the corner of the street that Wen Zhengming had just marked, black gas condensed from the air and formed a huge black shadow like a cocoon.
The black shadow gradually turned into a human shape.
His entire body was covered in impenetrable black air. He stood on the ground and slowly raised his head. His entire body seemed to be between illusion and reality, appearing and disappearing from time to time.
Ten seconds later, the black shadow walked out from the street corner according to the activity range marked by Wen Zhengming and began to patrol its territory.
A unique guest came among the surging crowd.
New book, please collect it
