Chapter 536: Chapter 312 Work at Sunrise (Part 2)_2
“How unreliable can it be?”
“The kind that could start a fire and nearly burn down half the village while cooking a al.”
“Well, that’s not too bad. I once set half a city on fire while playing ‘God of Cookery’, so now I’m too scared to play it anymore.”
Watching Monkey, Changfeng felt this person had the air of a forr master.
Following Changfeng, Monkey gradually ca to understand the situation here.
The residents here numbered over ten thousand, all previously from Immortal Village. Their past mission was to constantly cultivate talents and then send them out to find Immortals or a way to leave this place.
But recently, they found an Immortal, and a way to leave had been figured out, so the previous mission was accomplished. Now they were starting to help the Immortal guide the disciples here, which are the players.
Each elder had built their own Taoist temple, and players needed to join different Sects to experience the daily life of Cultivators.
The Taoist temple of the Great Saint Sect wasn’t big, but it was fully equipped with their own Dao Collection, spirit fields, and all sorts of facilities, and everything seed new, likely having just been built.
After showing Monkey around, Changfeng said proudly, “The best Cultivation Technique of our Great Saint Sect is the Sword technique, both my master and I are Sword Immortals who specialize in the Flying Sword. You can start by getting accustod to wielding a sword.”
As Monkey took the ordinary Flying Sword handed over by Changfeng, he felt a tremor run through his body.
Holding the Flying Sword, Monkey felt a shock from the depths of his soul, as if the past eighteen years had been in service of this very mont.
Everything around him seed to co alive, and the Flying Sword in his hand resonated with his soul.
He had always been fond of playing with Flying Swords, but it was all in regular gas; this was his first ti in virtual reality.
Now that he had it in hand, sothing in his blood seed to awaken at this mont, compelling him to throw out the Flying Sword.
“Junior brother, what are you doing!”
Just as Changfeng was about to point out that this was not the right way to wield a sword, he saw the Flying Sword soar into the sky, continuously changing form. Three streaks of light erged from the sword, astonishingly representing the skilled technique of one sword splitting into three.
Everyone’s talents are different in degree; so people may never discover their true talent in a lifeti. However, Monkey was lucky enough to uncover his latent gift, displaying impressive potential with the Flying Sword imdiately.
Observing the freely maneuvering Flying Sword in the sky and the excited Monkey, Changfeng realized his junior brother was truly remarkable.
After the studio’s employees familiarized themselves with the ga demo for a day, the refinent of the ga officially began.
The ga featured extensive content like the cultivating of Spirit Grass, covering various aspects of the Cultivator’s experience, while the planners had to create different gaplay based on varying situations. They also had to adjust different values and the proportion of content to perfect the details.
Half a month later, the ga was completed and ready for sale.
Simulation gas about cultivation had had several hits, but either the gaplay was too hardcore, or the focus of the ga was not on cultivation.
So gas started off well, but soon they beca problematic, changing whatever the players liked and forcing them to play according to a set path.
Therefore, when Fang Cheng Studio’s new ga “Work at Sunrise” was released, the vast majority of players were naturally filled with anticipation, though so were also a bit worried.
Gas based on traditional Huaxia culture have a tendency to beco preachy, and the narratives within the gas often end up as a rigid tool for the developer’s dogma.
Players would be forced to act according to the developer’s ideas in the ga, and any deviation from the developer’s standards would result in punishnt by the ga chanics.
However, concerns aside, the ga still had to be bought.
Now, Fang Cheng Studio’s gas didn’t need any advertising; a single post on Weibo was a celebration among gars, “Fang Cheng Studio” was the biggest advertisent, making it worth the players’ money to bring the ga ho.
And after purchasing the ga, players discovered that the promotion was quite fitting.
Players in the ga were essentially living the daily routine of a Cultivator, ditating on schedule every day. The ditation process could be broken up by playing a few mini-gas, or you could skip them if you didn’t feel like playing.
The day-to-day tasks were simple, such as farming, reading books, chatting with NPCs to build relationships, and enjoying a leisurely life together.
Occasionally, there would be random events which, upon completion, would yield small rewards.
The Sect started off small, but players could collaborate with other players or NPCs to gradually expand their own Sect.
If you didn’t want to join a Sect, you could choose an unclaid area and build your own Sect there.
The various exotic Taoist arts were the biggest highlight of the ga, with a plethora of strange Spells erging continuously. Players could even research and create their own Spells, making their Cultivation journey even more fascinating.
So, once players got the hang of the ga, they found that the content of “Work at Sunrise” could be simple, but it could also be quite consuming.
A vast array of Cultivation Techniques could be combined with one another, and new combinations beca available after the initial ones were set.
These Spells could then be integrated with Cultivation, making the ga’s playability and expandability extraordinarily interesting.
Just seven days after its release, the ga had already generated a powerful viral effect.
To fully understand the ga’s Spell chanics, so players even brought in the Dao Collection and, by comparing its content, managed to make their way through the ga, which astonishingly worked.
Other players took out theories of the Five Elents and Feng Shui, finding to their surprise that they could correspond to elents within the ga.
The whole ga was like a treasure trove of traditional culture, buried deep for continual discovery, yet it seed impossible to unearth all its content.
On the forums, everyone addressed each other as fellow Taoists, greeting with “Imasurable Heavenly Lord”; the environnt was harmonious, and their language seed to carry a hint of an Immortal’s aura.
Xien Waidao got into the ga a bit late since he had been engrossed in farming equipnt and experinting with his unorthodox strategies in “Princess Dungeon 2”.
So, by the ti he started this ga, it had already been live for nearly twenty days.
Compared to the beginning, everything had changed.
The starting plaza where players were born had grown significantly large, and it wasn’t just the NPcs recruiting anymore, but the players themselves.
There were tens of thousands of Sects already, so established by NPCs, many others by players.
Although most of the Cultivation Techniques within the Sects were shared, access to the more precious ones required money. However, they weren’t expensive; players could afford them by just completing a few tasks.
Players could join different Sects according to their preferences, each one with its own philosophy.
So Sects were fond of Flying Swords, others preferred geomancy, and if a player felt after so ti that there was a better place for them, they could switch allegiances without any penalty.
After getting to know the situation, Xien Waidao couldn’t help but comnt, “It’s too free, isn’t it?”
“Is freedom bad?” Mukuai 1234 asked, munching on deep-fried Virtue.
Deep-fried Virtue was a snack that Xien Waidao had specially prepared for Mukuai 1234, made with an ample amount of fresh Virtue. The Virtue was battered and deep-fried twice in hot, bubbling oil. Whether sprinkled with salt or eaten plain, it was a delectable treat.
“If sothing is abnormal, there must be a demon at play. Fang Cheng Studio’s gas are never that simple. I suspect there’s an unspeakable secret here, and I need to unearth it.”
Watching Xien Waidao firmly believing there was a problem, Mukuai biting into the deep-fried Virtue said, “I think you’ve been harming heaven and earth too much in your usual antics, so you see ghosts in everything.”
“This is the intuition of a high-end player, you foodie, don’t talk nonsense!”
“…As long as you’re happy.”
Not wanting to bother with Xien Waidao’s conspiracy theories, Mukuai 1234 continued munching on the deep-fried Virtue and aimlessly followed Xien Waidao.
