“Your World?” Lance was taken aback.
“Dummy! It’s ‘My World’!” Shuihua imdiately corrected him.
“You haven’t played it, have you?” Shuihua looked at Lance with suspicion.
“Ah, I’ve been busy preparing for exams recently…” Lance couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.
“Oh, priorities.” Shuihua nodded understandingly, “Priorities are important.”
Then they didn’t say anything, and started watching the Cloud Dream trailer. Lance also clicked on the video on his phone.
The beginning of the video was darkness.
In the darkness, a voice could be heard
“I often feel that the world is a bit abnormal, and sotis I feel like I don’t fit in with the world.”
It was Lincoln’s voice, sothing the players were quite familiar with. However, at this mont, his voice sounded sowhat lancholic.
Like many audiences, Lance subconsciously thought that what Lincoln was going to talk about next was sothing like “The World in the Eyes of a Genius.”
But the next mont, the screen lit up:
Lincoln was sitting on a stone by the lake, surrounded by exquisite little mountains. The slopes of the mountains were full of lush trees, giving the environnt an atmosphere of extre tranquillity.
The calm lake surface reflected the large, white clouds in the sky.
The whole screen appeared peaceful and harmonious, looking exceptionally beautiful.
The only odd thing was—right in the center of the screen, Lincoln, who was sitting on the stone, looked like a block!
This wasn’t a reference to “I feel like a block” as a taphor for emotions, but a genuine, physical block
A square head, a square torso, rectangular arms and legs, and hands and feet that, aside from their color, had no distinction from their respective limbs.
Even his eyes and mouth were rectangular!
If it weren’t for his opening line and the na [Lincoln] floating above that block-like head, it would be really hard to recognize who this was based on appearance alone.
In an instant, the screen was flooded with comnts:
“Nice job!”
“No wonder you feel like sothing’s wrong with the world!”
“Is it possible that the world is fine, but sothing’s wrong with you?!”
While Lance was still puzzled, Shuihua couldn’t help but bend over in laughter.
He was just about to ask what was so funny when the screen started to change.
Block-like Lincoln stood up, looked down at his block hands, then raised his head to look around at the normal mountains, forests, and lakes, suddenly shouting, “This isn’t right! It’s not supposed to be like this!”
He then raised his cubed right hand and gave it a slight wave.
“Snap!”
Nothing seed to change with the cubed hand, but a crisp snapping sound was heard.
“Oh!” Shuihua quickly grasped the concept of Block-Lincoln snapping his fingers in her head.
A burst of white light exploded following the snapping sound, and the entire screen turned white.
When the brightness faded and the screen beca clear again, Lincoln had returned to normal—now sporting a clear face, complete limbs, and a neck like a regular human being.
But at the sa ti—
The world had beco cubed!
The mountains had beco piles of rocks stacked like building blocks, the tree trunks had straight, angular edges, and the tree canopies looked as if they had been ticulously trimd, with distinct, straight edges.
Even the shoreline had turned into a grid of squares.
The only thing that remained unchanged was probably the lake water.
On the screen, Lincoln once again looked down at his hands, wiggling his nimble fingers.
He then nodded in satisfaction: “That’s better, everything’s right now.”
As for the already cubed mountains, trees, animals, and even the clouds in the sky around him, Lincoln didn’t seem to notice them.
“What the heck, changed the world to suit himself?” Lance was astounded.
But Shuihua nodded in satisfaction: “Yep, that’s what normal looks like!”
Shuihua had played a lot of “My World.” Compared to characters turning into blocks, it was more natural for the world itself to beco block-like.
But Lance just couldn’t understand and looked at Shuihua in shock: “You call this normal?”
Shuihua didn’t bother answering Lance, because the video’s progress bar was already nearing the end.
On the screen, Lincoln said to himself: “Now everything’s normal, I can invite everyone to play.”
As soon as the words fell, the familiar white text appeared on the screen
[November 25th, 18:30]
[Welco to the ‘Normal’ World]
With only a few seconds left, this video, which should have been a ga trailer, finally revealed a few snippets of “My World” gaplay—
Players chopping down trees, swinging swords, building houses, farming, raising pigs, and the underground world filled with lava—these scenes were all quickly cut together, giving the audience so clue about the ga’s content.
The video then ca to an end.
And the players’ celebration began:
“Yay! It’s a new ga!”
“I knew it, after the closed beta of Cloud Dream Gas, we’d be able to play in a week! It’s just a few days late this ti to make space for ‘Hunter: The Call of Feces,’ right?”
“Can we not ntion feces?!”
“Call of Feces! Call of Feces! Call of Feces!”
“What’s going on with Cloud Dream? They’re suddenly updating like crazy! It’s making a little scared.”
“I haven’t even bought a few guns in ‘Call of Feces’ yet, and a new ga is already coming? There’s not enough ti, it’s a happy problem to have!”
“Indeed! From now on, I’ll play ‘Call of the Wild’ on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; ‘My World’ on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays; and finally, participate in the Death Racing competition on Sundays. Perfect!”
Super Tomato is also very happy.
After preparing for over a week and making several changes, his video can finally be released!
As long as the ga officially goes on sale, and then the players are given a day to explore for themselves, it can be officially released on Saturday!
According to Cloud Dream’s agreent, strictly speaking, he can release the video right at the second when the ga goes on sale.
However, Super Tomato still decided to wait for a day to allow the interested players to enjoy more exploration fun, without having too many surprises consud by his guide.
That’s why he has removed so “pure strategy” content from the video.
But that’s irrelevant!
“Ga guides” can be done by anyone.
But magical buildings and creativity are truly irreplaceable and have core competitiveness!
In the virtual world, Lincoln hides on a small sofa on the spaceship, watching the floating screen with Xiaong.
However, they are not watching the reaction to the trailer, but the overseas live broadcast.
Russian anchor, Ivan Ivanov, knocks on his neighbor’s door.
Clearly, the ti zone of the area where Ivan Ivanov lives is different from that of Daxia. Although they use New Siberian Ti, it is only one hour behind Daxia Standard Ti.
Despite having just finished breakfast not long ago in his area, on Lincoln’s side, they had already finished lunch.
Ivan Ivanov started the live broadcast early to fulfill the promise he made during last night’s live broadcast – to wash the neighbor’s bear’s butt.
He didn’t manage to catch the escaped black bear yesterday…
Though he did later hunt several more bears in retaliation, the audience did not accept him using those later catches to make up for it.
Helpless, the Slavic man had to keep his word, so he knocked on his neighbor’s door with a stern face.
At this mont, the live broadcast room was lively, with audiences from various countries gathered to watch the excitent, and comnts were mixed with multiple languages.
Xiaong would translate them for Lincoln in real-ti, showing them after the original sentence so Lincoln could watch.
On the sofa, Xiaong kicked Lincoln occasionally to get his attention. Then she pretended it was not her doing and continued to stare at the screen.
On the screen, the Slavic muscular man, a towering figure of 188 centiters, knocked on the neighbor’s door with an awkward expression.
The neighbor who opened the door was not inferior in height or build to Ivan.
Ivan began to explain his request and tell the whole story.
The neighbor’s expression changed from enthusiasm to confusion, and then from confusion to bewildernt, leaving only a full face of twisted disbelief: “What’s wrong with people these days?”
“Oh, I’m not talking about you, Ivan.”
The serious expression, along with the “I’m not talking about you” correction, amused many people on the spot.
Although the neighbor couldn’t make sense of it, he kindly agreed, and Ivan actually began to seriously wash the brown bear’s butt.
However, the brown bear did not cooperate at all, causing Ivan to get soaked.
When they eventually finished, the brown bear shook its body vigorously, shaking off a large amount of water clinging to its fur, which splashed all over Ivan.
Afterwards, the bear walked away leisurely.
Only Ivan was left alone, covered in mud and water, as if he had just fought the bear in the mud.
“Hahaha, too tragic!” Like countless audiences in the live broadcast room, Lincoln and Xiaong also laughed at this scene.
Ivan then went offline to take a bath.
Lincoln also turned off the live broadcast and slumped back onto the sofa.
He could still rest for another hour.
The developnt work of “Battlefield” is very busy and has encountered so difficulties, so he desperately needs to switch moods during his breaks.
The crux of the problem is the fine-tuning of the ga environnt, characters, and atmosphere.
At first, Lincoln thought that with the map accumulation of the “Assassins’ Alliance” Freedom Day event and the reserves of two gunfight gas, “Assassins’ Alliance” and “Speed Chase,” as well as the technical accumulation of characters, terrain, vehicles, etc., a sneak preview of a ga could be made in one week using a large team division strategy.
The developnt team didn’t disappoint him: they indeed created the frawork and prototype of the ga; its playability was satisfactory.
However, Lincoln wanted more; he wanted to convey the core concept of the ga better through the details, which was why he delayed the ga for so ti.
But when he really started fine-tuning the details, he realized that things beca troubleso when pursued to the extre, and mass-production techniques were not satisfying anymore!
Thinking about having a new ga sneak preview launched this week as a triple attack for the players?
Purely a dream!
There’s no way to make it!
Seeing Lincoln’s appearance, Xiaong couldn’t help asking, “Master, why don’t you use the secondary artificial intelligence technology?”
The [Secondary Artificial Intelligence Core] is a new technology unlocked by Xiaong after the Hibernation Warehouse, taking a considerable amount of ti to successfully unlock.
When it was just unlocked, Lincoln couldn’t help but tease Xiaong, “Why is your technology unlocking like mining? Ti and difficulty increase exponentially; the more you dig, the harder it gets.”
For once, Xiaong was speechless and couldn’t find a rebuttal.
Now she brought up this technology because the key to “Battlefield” lies in the fine-tuning of details, especially the fine-tuning of character behavior details, which requires a lot of ti.
If they use this technology, more than half the ti could be shortened effectively.
But Lincoln has always been reluctant.
Because he always feels that using secondary artificial intelligence to create soldiers and then see them die tragically on the battlefield is sowhat inhumane…
