Chapter 41: Wang’s Experience :!
Translator: 549690339
Seeing the interface prompt displaying “Activation codes have all been claid,” Wang Say Gas sighed and muttered to himself that he was late.
He had recorded videos too late into the night yesterday, and by the ti he woke up, it was already afternoon, just missing the window to claim an activation code.
In his fan group, Wang Say Gas lanted helplessly, “Ten thousand activation codes were claid in just three hours—how enthusiastic can you all be? Whoever got an activation code, could you please lend it to ? I’ll return it right after I record a video.”
Wang’s large group had thousands of mbers, each one a dedicated fan; swapping account details was a common occurrence.
He had assud that out of the thousands, at least a few would have gotten an activation code, but after his request, all he got back were confused replies.
“Nope.”
“Didn’t manage to grab one.”
“I’m starting to suspect there were never any activation codes to begin with. Otherwise, why hasn’t a single screenshot surfaced? This is a scam; I’m going to file a complaint!”
Looking at his boiling fans, Wang too felt sothing was amiss.
Could it really have been just fake news?
Such incidents were not uncommon, with so studios faking the developnt of a ga to draw in early purchases or deceive major investors, only to abscond with the funds once they had enough.
After all, the gaming industry in China was only governed by “Interim Managent asures for Electronic Gas,” which is far less stringent than other countries on a legal level, causing the sector to be rife with disorder.
However, Wang did not believe Fang Cheng was the type to scam for money; otherwise, he would have packaged his gas for sale long ago—why bother with all this?
After so thought, Wang browsed other platforms looking to purchase an activation code, but the prices made him gasp in shock.
The test was only for seven days, yet an activation code was selling for a whopping 2100, and the number was still dropping.
That broke down to burning 300 a day on the ga, where even taking a bathroom break was disrespectful to money.
Torn, and seeing the number of activation codes dwindling, Wang was just about to grudgingly make a purchase when a ssage from his good friend Living Immortal popped up.
“Activation code: [pn32827382111231], for ‘Quiet Cultivation.’ I got one for you.”
Seeing the ssage, Wang’s eyes brimd with tears.
In tis like these, good immortals were still plentiful.
But what did he an by getting one? Immortal, did you really take up my advice and join Fang Cheng’s team?
Without the ti to ask more, Wang boastfully called out in the group, “Sorry, folks, but soone just gave an activation code. I’m off to experience the ga—I’ll let you knowhowit goes when I’m back.”
After his announcent, he left behind a group of fans cursing him for being inconsiderate and happily went off to play his ga.
Entering the activation code and downloading the ga, Wang nodded at the 1GB size, thinking to himself that this was more like it.
The size also filled Wang with great anticipation, and he imdiately entered the ga.
Instead of the usual straightforward entry into the ga, this ti there was an opening animation—and the quality was high.
The scene opened with a strong gust of wind sweeping over, causing all things to wither.
But the next second, as the Gang Wind dissipated, the vegetation quickly grew back, the earth regained its vitality, and variously shaped character statues descended from the skies, transforming into human forms with solemn expressions as they eyed one another.
The next mont, the clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed and invisible giant hands tore the white clouds apart, then rged them into different locations, creating spots shimring with white light.
Upon discovering these locations, the characters sprang into action. Those who entered these spots first were either suddenly clad in golden armor or held thunderbolts in their hands. A range of powerful moves were unleashed, perfectly aligning with Wang’s vision of Cultivators, making him wonder if the CGI team really did have experience as Immortals.
Several characters began to engage in fierce battle, and as they entered ditation points more frequently, the subsequent fights grew more heated and exciting, giving Wang a thrilling sensation.
Just watching the CG made Wang’s heart surge with excitent, itching to jump into the fray for a whopping three hundred rounds.
When at last, only two characters remained, clashing with earth -shattering moves, the entire scene settled into tranquility, and the na of the ga finally erged:
“Quiet Cultivation”.
Seeing this na, Wang couldn’t help but think it was so typical of you.
The na had nothing to do with the content of the ga, except for Fang
Cheng; no one else could be behind it.
And the tagline beneath the na was filled with a wicked sense of humor.
“The first dostic cultivation and ditation ga—Fang Cheng Studio.” Holding his head, Wang felt Fang Cheng was having one of his episodes again. I’m not blind; the CG clearly shows a battle royale ga—who are you trying to fool?
A perfectly good fantasy battle royale ga, and you call it a cultivation and ditation ga, as if you’re afraid others won’t realize your questionable taste in naming?
However, generally speaking, gas made by Fang Cheng are all about the na, tags, and description images; you have to actually play them to know what they’re like.
Clicking “Start,” he entered the ga, which led to the character creation process.
The detailed facial customization wasn’t available yet, so players could only choose from four characters: Sword Immortal, Heavenly Soldier, Ape Demon, and Ming General.
Different characters had distinct movents, handling, and weapons, and each weapon determined a different attack style.
Unlike previous gas, “Quiet Cultivation” clearly had a specialist adjust the cara angles, the UI placent, and tutorials—and this person was skilled.
Every button and guide appeared right where Wang needed them, allowing him to grasp the basics of each character within minutes.
The Sword Immortal was graceful, with the fastest movents, wielding the Flying Sword to vanquish enemies, although controlling it was the most challenging; the Flying Sword dealt high damage but left the user defenseless once thrown, not suited for casual players.
The Heavenly Soldier had balanced attributes all-around, with an innate burst capability that could explode with damage for five seconds, but would then enter a weakened state for a period.
The Ape Demon started off as a small monkey, but as it ditated more frequently, it beca larger and stronger in all aspects—a powerful choice for the late ga.
The Ming General excelled in moving through shadows, a master of stealth and assassination; however, as other players grew in strength, it beca less formidable, a character that needed to take risks early on.
Looking at these four characters, Wang felt as though they were alive, each hair ticulously modeled, a testant to Fang Cheng Studio’s consistently formidable technical prowess.
It’s just a pity there’s too much masculine energy and not enough charm, lacking a few female characters to lighten the mood. Hopefully, the studio will take note and balance the yin and yang, showing that won can also hold up half the sky.
Choosing the Ape Demon, he counted down to the start of the ga. Wang watched his character’s statue rise from the ground, then with a fierce shake, the stone chips burst apart, and transford into a monkey wielding a staff, leaping to the ground.
Brushing the dust off his body, the smooth actions made Wang feel as though he was truly controlling a monkey, the ticulous movents impressing him greatly.
At the sa ti, he was astonished by the surrounding landscape, painted with a brushstroke of ink-wash colors.
The opening animation wasn’t CG, but actual in-ga footage!
Although many gas claim to showcase real-ti gaplay, there’s usually so tweaking involved, yet Fang Cheng, with your bold and unwavering resolve, actually used ga footage for the animation, blatantly challenging the unspoken rules of the industry.
After admiring the view, Wang contentedly gripped the mouse and keyboard, ready to take control.
But as soon as he began, he inwardly exclaid, crap.
There was no going back.
