Anger Interferer: used against soone other than the user. After activation, the target will enter a state of anger, having a higher chance of making bad choices. Lasted for fifteen minutes.
Super Accelerator: affects the user. Upon activation, work efficiency is increased to triple normal, lasts for eight hours. After use, the user will need to sleep for ten hours to relieve fatigue. Should be used at most once every three days, otherwise there might be consequences!
“Super Accelerator? Not bad. I could probably use it when I’m behind on work. But what use does this Anger Interferer have? Can I make soone beat up by making them angry, then extort them for money?...
“Whatever, I’ll save it for now...”
Chen Mo didn’t have any current need for these special items, but drawing a bunch of mory Playback Potions was a lifesaver. He wouldn’t need to strain himself like he did last ti in the future.
He didn’t want to bother with the Designer Skill Books, and consud them one after another.
After consuming them, Chen Mo estimated that his coding and level design skills that were quite weak before were now around seventy, and his system skills were probably around ninety.
His plot writing skills were even higher, and probably almost maxed!
Of course, these numbers were Chen Mo’s assessnt of himself, there weren’t any concrete numbers.
—
As he consud his last Plot Writing book, there was a pop-up on the screen! The system detects that your Plot Writing skills are maxed out. Would you like to enter the next level?
Chen Mo was shocked. -What is this?-
He clicked on the confirm button. Another pop up appeared: Entered the second level, now ready.
There was another line of small print at the bottom: Maxing out the first level of Plot Writing ans that you still need to satisfy the needs of plot writing in gas. Please continue to work hard!
Chen Mo read over the sentence three tis and finally got a vague idea of what it ant.
“I think the one responsible for the writing in the system must’ve been drunk...” he muttered.
This sentence actually ant that Chen Mo’s Story Writing skills were full for the first level, which was only enough for the plots of simpler gas.
For example, Chen Mo might want to make a visual novel. If he already had the vocabulary and the script, he could better fill in the dialogue between characters, and set the scenes better. However, it would be impossible if he wanted to write out the story for a classic ga!
The second level of Plot Writing focused on that point.
Chen Mo put his hand to his forehead. “It seems that I was quite naive. The road is much longer than I thought. To think that I believed I could max out all my Stats with ten million RMB...”
—
After regaining his composure, Chen Mo consud the rest of the Special Skill Books.
Chen Mo’s Original Art, 3D Art, and Music and Sound Effects States had now been raised considerably.
As soon as he was done, another pop-up appeared on the virtual screen.
The system detects that you have entered the second level for one or more Stats. You can now view your actual abilities.
Chen Mo was shocked. “Hmm? Did I unlock new functionalities?”
Chen Mo’s various Stats now appeared on the virtual screen. Previously, these Stats weren’t visible, so Chen Mo had to guess what they were. Now he finally had access to the actual numbers!
Systems: 93
Coding: 72
Level Design: 71
Plot Writing: 100 (Entered Level 2)
Original Art: 53
3D Art: 35
Animation: 10
Music and Audio Effects: 20
Storyboarding: 13
These numbers were Chen Mo’s true abilities, including what Chen Mo learned in his previous life, and the growth from the books he had consud from the bracelet.
The stats from the Ga Engine on Chen Mo were as so:
Chen Mo: Videoga Designer (C-grade)
Creativity: 49
Systems: 30
Coding: 48
Level Designer: 53
Plot Writing: 15
Original Art: 36
3D Art: 1
Monthly Resources Quota: 0/1.6GB
These stats were analyzed by the video ga engine, which ant the skills that Chen Mo had shown from his work so far.
After releasing Plants vs Zombies, Chen Mo’s ratings had increased. His Creativity, Coding, and Level Design had all been increased substantially!
Moreover, following the explosive growth of Plants vs Zombies, Chen Mo had been upgraded to a C-grade video ga designer.
As for the monthly quota, it was sothing that didn’t matter anymore to him, as he now scorned the free resources included. However, they were still alright as placeholders.
Chen Mo felt quite relaxed after spending so much money on his top-ups.
Chen Mo now had many choices for his next ga, even so Chinese Pay To Win gas were now on the list.
However, when there were so many choices it beca a burden. Chen Mo couldn’t make up his mind that late at night, so he decided to take a rest.
—
At 8:30 AM the second day, Chen Mo was woken up by the ringing of his phone.
As Chen Mo opened his heavy eyelids, he saw that the phone call was from Su Jinyu.
“Hello? What’s up? Do you need so leave?” asked Chen Mo.
Su Jinyu said in a worried voice, “No, not at all. You should go online right now. Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt are making a ga called Guardian of the Holy Spring, and it seems like they copied Plants vs Zombies!”
Chen Mo shuffled around in bed into a more comfortable position, “Yep, I know. Wasn’t there a playtest video released two days ago? I saw it yesterday.”
Su Jinyu said, “Not just that, the Weibo of the designer of Guardian of the Holy Spring is being attacked by our players. Many fans of Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt retaliated, bringing you into the mix! You probably should check your Weibo now.”
“Huh?” Chen Mo finally sat up. -How could sothing like that happen?-
Chen Mo washed himself and went on his computer.
Indeed, his Weibo had been attacked by the fans of Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt. He had a few thousand comnts under his newest Weibo, with two people in particular having a heated argunt.
Chen Mo spent a good twenty minutes trying to understand the gist of the situation.
It had all started from the video Chen Mo saw yesterday.
A player secretly recorded that video when he was playing in the Emperor Dynasty experience store and uploaded it to the internet.
The video had been out for three days, and was discovered by a few diehard fans of Plants vs Zombies. As they had a strong sense of righteousness, they went straight to Qiu Bin, the designer of Guardian of the Holy Spring’s Weibo, and started going at him with so intense wording.
======
“Hehe, how could Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt miss out on following trends and copying gas. Dogs will continue to eat shit.”
“Sure enough, a Plants vs Zombies bootleg was released in no ti. I’m impressed by the work efficiency of Your Highness.”
“Plagiarizing dog. A B-grade video ga designer nonetheless. He really is focused on making money in exchange for his dignity!”
======
These comnts received a lot of responses, and gained popularity soon after.
Qiu Bin didn’t say anything, but as a B-grade videoga designer and one who was working within Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt, he had a huge amount of fans behind him, with plenty of brain-dead fans.
Upon seeing that Qiu Bin was being attacked, they retaliated without hesitation!
