Chapter 105 Nightmare City (Twenty-three)



After returning home, Zhou Zhou started designing the copy, but the first thing to do in designing the copy was the name and scene of the copy.

The villas, toy houses, ships, castles, etc. that Zhou Zhou encountered in the copy all belong to the copy scenes. If you want to create a copy, you must first set up the scene. All content involved in this copy will revolve around the scene, so this item is very important.

Because he attached great importance to the first copy, Zhou Zhou thought of many scenarios but was not satisfied with any of them.

Scene...What kind of scene would make everyone feel scared?

Especially black? Or is it very quiet?

Sitting in the study room, thinking hard, the tightly closed door suddenly opened slowly. Under Zhou Zhou's gaze, the study door opened a distance of two feet wide and then stopped moving, as if a strange force had opened the door.

A slight rustling sound was heard at the door, which touched my heart. If it weren't for my excellent hearing, I would not have been able to detect the source of this sound.

Zhou Zhou stood up slightly and watched the little octopus crawl in from the ground outside using its tentacles, leaving a wet trail behind it. The little guy had been soaking in the water tank for a while before coming to find him.

Recalling the action of the little octopus opening the door just now, Zhou Zhou suddenly thought of what kind of scene he should use for his first copy.

Elvia was handling government affairs in the palace. He finished a task that would have taken a whole day in just half a day.

They only went to two games yesterday, and there are still many to go. He has already picked out a few games that are fine and suitable for Zhou Zhou, and he should like them.

There seemed to be frost and snow in Elvia's ice-blue eyes, but there was a hint of tenderness on her face. Although they had been together in the copy of Nightmare City, there were often various people or things that interfered with Zhou Zhou's vision.

Now that he knew Zhou Zhou's secret, he could take him out and go alone with him to a place where there would be no one else to disturb him, so that Zhou Zhou could get used to his company gradually.

After explaining the last few things of the day, Elvia couldn't wait to go to the bedroom. He wanted to call Zhou Zhou out of the game.

Although on the surface he was still the cold and icy emperor who kept strangers away, Ryan still noticed something unusual about his emperor during this period.

Your Majesty, why do you always go to the palace during this period?

He had clearly spent most of his time dealing with government affairs every day, and even dealt with some documents that did not require his personal approval. This is the case during the past month. Except for the few days during the founding ceremony when he was a little busy, he seemed to have stayed in the palace all the time.

Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? Ryan immediately thought of this reason. However, he immediately denied it. The royal medical team would check His Majesty regularly, and if there were any problems, it would definitely not be hidden from him as the captain of the Royal Guard.

This should have been His Majesty's private matter, but out of loyalty to His Majesty and the fact that they grew up together and had a closer relationship than anyone else, Ryan still asked.

Elvia looked at Ryan who was following behind her. What happened in Zhou Zhou could not be known to others yet. After all, the emergence of a second artificial intelligence was enough to shock the entire empire, and many people with ulterior motives would also make a fuss about it. So before everything was ready, Alvia did not intend to tell anyone else, including Ryan, about Zhou Zhou's identity.

However, he remembered that Ryan seemed to be very experienced in emotions.

Alvia slowed down and looked at the other person thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, you mean you want to know how to pursue someone?!"

Even Ryan, who had seen many storms, was shocked by the news and raised his voice. Fortunately, there was no one else in their current position, so there was no need to worry about the news that could shock the entire empire being spread.

Alvia nodded calmly. He was really not good at this, so he didn't know how to deal with the slow-witted Zhou Zhou. He could only ask for help from outsiders. He remembered that Ryan had been involved in a lot of gossips, so he should be good at this.

Not knowing that his image in His Majesty's mind had become that of a person who was inseparable from gossip, Ryan was asked about this for the first time by His Majesty. While he was shocked, he did not forget to give advice to Elvia.

"I don't know if the other party knows your Majesty's identity."

"Know."

"Have you seen His Majesty's true appearance?"

“Yes.”

"Your Majesty, please make your feelings clear to him."

Alvia nodded.

"Then, the other party's attitude is..."

Alvia paused: "He said he wanted to be my brother."

Ryan:! ! !

Ryan couldn't believe what he heard. After knowing His Majesty's identity and true appearance, how could anyone refuse? What kind of person could do such a thing.

Out of respect for His Majesty, Ryan did not ask about the man's name and identity, but he couldn't understand why anyone would reject His Majesty, who was at the top in terms of status, strength and appearance.

"Could it be that he already has someone he likes?" Ryan couldn't think of any other reason except this.

Thinking back to Zhou Zhou's past lovers, Alvia nodded slightly, but he still spoke for Zhou Zhou subconsciously: "He didn't understand much about feelings before, and confused friends and lovers, but now he has realized that the two are different."

Ryan heard the hidden meaning, that is, the person had dated many people before? And you rejected Your Majesty on this basis?

If His Majesty had not rarely asked him for advice, he would have wanted to wake His Majesty up in a treasonous way. This man cannot be tolerated!

Seeing Ryan's conflicted expression, Alvia suddenly wondered if his idea of ​​seeking advice was a bit too impulsive. After all, Ryan was surrounded by gossips, but he still had no serious relationship and was single like him.

Ryan calmed himself down, wavering between giving advice to His Majesty and breaking up the two, but in the end he chose loyalty.

"Your Majesty, I think you can first choose..."

Ryan's heart seemed to be bleeding, but he still expressed his thoughts and suggestions sincerely. These words made Elvia think a lot. He was indeed too passive in the past. Zhou Zhou was not a human being and was much more emotionally indifferent than ordinary people. Although he was a love NPC, he actually knew nothing about feelings, so he had to take the initiative to approach the other party.

Even though many of the things Ryan suggested were very unfamiliar to Elvia, if things continued like this between them, they would probably remain like this for a long time.

After figuring all this out, Elvia hurried back to her bedroom and went online.

Zhou Zhou's copy has basically taken shape. After all, he is a player who has experienced many copies and is very clear about the process of the copy. Except for a period of distress when choosing the scene, everything went very smoothly in the later stages.

Looking at the contents filled in the task panel, the next step is to show it to Molan and others. If there are no problems, it can be submitted for review.

The general process is that after the player designs all the content related to the copy, he submits it to the system for review. If there are any problems, it will be rejected and revised again.

If there are no problems, you can start site selection and construction. After the copy scene and all the necessary things are built, it will be reviewed again. The data of all aspects of the copy, as well as the safety of the players, must be done to the best of their ability.

Once qualified, they will be uploaded to the system and selected by the players.

Zhou Zhou was still reviewing the copy he designed to see if there were any problems when he received a message from Elvia.

It turned out to be Alvia asking him when he would go to other games.

Zhou Zhou really wanted to go, but his copy was not ready yet, and he had not shown it to Molan and the others. He wanted to go play after submitting it for review.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou suddenly had an idea. He could first tell Al about the relevant copy design and see if Al had any suggestions.

After all, Al has participated in many dungeons, and maybe he can find many problems from the player's perspective that he has not discovered.

So when Alvia received Zhou Zhou's reply, he saw something that surprised him very much. Zhou Zhou actually asked him if he wanted to go to his house.

Alvia had already known about this from Zeus's boasting that Zhou Zhou bought a house in the game as his home, but he had never told anyone about it.

Although he had wanted to go and see it for a long time, he waited until Zhou Zhou took the initiative to bring up the matter.

If patience pays off, Zhou Zhou finally invited him. Not knowing that the other party was just short of a tool, Elvia followed basic door-to-door etiquette and brought some small gifts.

Players who were invited to the personal space were also teleported through the address given by the other party. When there was a crisp and slow knock on the door, Zhou Zhou knew that it was Al.

His mood immediately became cheerful, and Zhou Zhou trotted to open the door for Alvia. As soon as the door opened, what greeted him was not Alvia, but a bouquet of bright red roses.

There was embarrassment on Alvia's expressionless face. It was the first time he gave someone a gift, and it was even a bouquet of flowers. But thinking of what Ryan said, about paying attention to details and being as considerate and careful as possible, he still raised the flowers in front of Zhou Zhou.

"Housewarming gift."

If Ryan was there, he might have covered his face and sighed. This situation was obviously the most suitable time to say sweet words and express love, but Alvia turned it into a housewarming ceremony to enhance friendship!

Sure enough, Zhou Zhou didn’t think much about it. After all, he didn’t know that there was no such thing as housewarming gifts in the interstellar era, and if there were, it would be impossible to give roses.

"Thanks."

He was very happy to receive the gift. Taking a large bouquet of gorgeous roses, Zhou Zhou held the large bouquet and considered where to put it.

Alvia walked in and took in the layout of the entire room at a glance. After all, this room was very small for His Majesty, who owned the entire palace.

But he felt it was just right. If two people lived there, this layout was just the right size. No matter where one person was doing in the room, the other person could see it at any time by just turning around.

Zhou Zhou invited Elvia in, then held the flowers and placed them on the table.

Every blooming rose looked its best. Zhou Zhou lowered his head and gently fiddled with the rose petals with his hands. It seemed like the first time someone gave him flowers, and they were roses.

Zhou Zhou completely forgot that yesterday in another love game, a short-lived elf girl tried to give him flowers but was stopped by Elvia.

As an NPC in the love game, he naturally knows the meaning of roses best. Looking up at Elvia with a natural expression, he suddenly felt that the other party might not know the meaning of roses. After all, the outside world is different from the world he used to live in. So has sending flowers changed from its original special meaning to a housewarming gift now?

Zhou Zhou could only sigh. It seemed that he had to hurry up and learn the common sense of the outside world. After all, what he knew was often very different from what he knew outside. It would be bad if some strange misunderstandings arose because of such differences.

Seeing that Zhou Zhou seemed to like the bouquet of flowers very much, Alvia felt that Ryan's words were indeed effective.

"Al, can you do me a favor?" Zhou Zhou finally stated his purpose this time.

"Of course." Without even asking what the favor was, Alvia agreed.

The task panel can only be seen by oneself, but the intermediate and higher level task panels can also be seen with the permission of the owner.

Alvia looked at the contents of the copy written by Zhou Zhou with a solemn expression.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the copy I designed?" Zhou Zhou said nervously, looking at Al's expression.

Alvia raised his head and said seriously: "Zhou Zhou, do you still remember what game this is?"

"Game of levels."

"...Nightmare City should be a horror game. Although it does not encourage excessively bloody and violent content, your copy does not highlight the feeling of horror."

Elvia's evaluation of the copy was not at all perfunctory. He really felt that if this copy was put into use, the effect would not be very good.

“However, I think the theme and ideas are very good.”

Elvia said righteously: "After the copy is put into use, we can participate as players."

Zhou Zhou was still struggling with the issue that his copy was not scary enough. He himself did not have much fear, so naturally he was unsure of what the players would be afraid of.

What seems very ordinary to him may very likely scare many people, so this is also the biggest problem in Zhou Zhou's copy design.

As the person who raised the question, Elvia could not just watch Zhou Zhou suffer. Instead, he had to be a qualified tool and offer some suggestions of his own.

The two of them discussed and revised the work, and several hours passed quickly.

Zhou Zhou looked at the modified content and once again exclaimed that Elvia was really amazing. Although it seemed that the changes were not many, the effect was enhanced many times.

"Al, can you stay here for a while? I'll show a copy of the design to Molan and the others."

Zhou Zhou is extremely enthusiastic about designing the copy, and he wants to wait until the copy goes through review before going out to play with Al.

Alvia agreed to wait here.

As the emperor of the empire, he naturally knew where Zhou Zhou was going to find the resentful woman. That place is where the intermediate players are. Although he can go there with the help of Zeus, he will not take the initiative to break the rules until his points reach the upgrade requirements.

The reason why I discussed the dungeon with Zhou Zhou today is that after the game version is updated, matters concerning mid-level players are no longer a forbidden topic. More people will successfully upgrade in the future, so there is no need to worry about being banned or forced offline.

Zhou Zhou left. Alvia stood up and looked at the little octopus in the fish tank. Zhou Zhou left in a hurry this time, and the little octopus didn't have time to follow him. It could only lie in the tank and stare at Alvia listlessly.

Although she didn't want to argue with this little guy, but when she thought that it, like Zeus, could live in Zhou Zhou's house, while she was just a temporary guest, Elvia's gaze became more oppressive.

Little Octopus: Shivering.

Although Zhou Zhou's house has two rooms, one of them is a study and there is only one bedroom, so where does Zeus usually live?

According to Zhou Zhou's personality, it would be impossible for him to let Zeus sleep on the sofa, so... Alvia stared at the simple foldable bed in the study.

If Zeus really occupied Zhou Zhou's bedroom and made Zhou Zhou sleep in the study, then it was time to close the small dark room.

Elvia originally thought that Zhou Zhou would be gone for a long time, after all, he had to continue to modify the copy based on other people's opinions. As a result, Zhou Zhou came back very quickly.

"Why are you back so soon?"

Zhou Zhou was somewhat happy: "Because everyone said that my copy was very good and there was nothing to change. They also gave me a lot of things and said that they could go to the copy to be NPCs if needed."

Elvia naturally knew that the scenes required for the copy would be simulated and constructed by the system, but the various props and NPCs in it needed to be customized, purchased or rented.

All of these also require points. If you want to rent a real NPC with special abilities, you not only need to obtain the other party's consent, but also pay a high number of points or a share of the copy's profits.

The reason why Molan reminded Zhou Zhou to try to choose copies with real NPCs was that these copies could earn high points, and the other was that she hoped Zhou Zhou could make more friends, and after upgrading, these friends would become resources when designing copies.

Elvia was still thinking that Zhou Zhou did have some very good friends, when she heard Zhou Zhou continue, "And you're still here, I don't want you to wait too long."

Alvia:! ! !

This, this is finally...

Just when Elvia was completely moved by Zhou Zhou's words, Zhou Zhou finished the last sentence as if nothing had happened.

"Don't we have other games to play?"

Her restless heart seemed to be doused with a bucket of ice water, and Elvia thought expressionlessly that this was indeed Zhou Zhou's style.

Always able to give people a head-on blow at the most critical moment.

"By the way, Al, thank you for the flowers you gave me. I love them."

Alvia listened to himself expressionlessly and said coldly: "It's good that you like it. What other type of game do you want to play?"

After Molan and others finished reading it, Zhou Zhou submitted the contents of the copy and then waited for the results.

It is said that the time of the dungeon result is uncertain, it may take a few hours at the fastest or several days at the slowest. Zhou Zhou feels that he has to keep an eye on it all the time and cannot stay in other games for a long time, so he should continue to practice mecha.
