Although they claim they don’t want to play, once they have the chance, each of them gets more excited than anyone else.
Unfortunately, Fang Cheng Studio’s anti-piracy asures were so robust that all claims of pirated gas from the studio on the market were fake news.
So were even phishing programs from the North Arican Gaming Guild, which would prompt those who clicked to pay fines at their nearest guild branch, causing great frustration.
However, they could still bear it at that ti by watching videos to quench their thirst for the ga, and then move on to other things after that itch was scratched.
But when Fang Cheng Studio started releasing new characters every two days, they grew restless.
The new character, Rat Warrior, appeared small but was a martial arts master, and subtly resonated with the rat sensei from “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” bringing back fond mories for North Arican players.
Watching the Rat Warrior navigate the city sewers freely, and even spotting nods to the TMNT, so people dreamt of their childhood days watching the cartoon, imagining themselves as a giant rat roaming the city sewers.
At first, they managed to keep their composure.
But after witnessing character after character they adored being released, they claid indifference while attacking the North Arican Gaming Guild:
[Once, I thought you guys were trash, but now, I feel you are a dumpster fire.]
[Give one reason, just one reason to ban Fang Cheng Studio’s gas? If it’s because they desecrated your mother’s ashes and defiled your father’s grave, then maybe I’d consider forgiving you.]
This online farce ultimately led to players in Florida initiating a class-action lawsuit against the North Arican Gaming Guild for overstepping its authority, with tens of thousands of players funding the legal challenge. The court actually ruled that the guild’s actions were illegal and ordered that the ban be lifted within a set ti fra.
When the news broke, Florida’s population suddenly increased by tens of thousands, as players flocked there just to be among the first to play the ga once the order was lifted.
Watching this news cycle back to China, Fang Cheng wondered, “Is it really that exaggerated?”
“It really is,” Xu Qingling said, “I didn’t believe it at first either, but a classmate of mine in North Arica confird it. She said that after the order to lift the ban passed in Florida, it was chaos outside the courthouse. The players there even collectively sang ‘The Internationale,’ and the chants for the Governor of Florida to beco the President of the United States were non-stop.”
Having said that, she showed Fang Cheng the video of the event, and the scene was indeed impressive.
Those present were moved to tears, strangers hugged excitedly, and so even began to kiss passionately on the streets, making Fang Cheng realize that overseas players are quite emotional.
After showing Fang Cheng the video, Xu Qingling continued, “The North Arican Gaming Guild must be feeling the pressure now; they sent an email suggesting that if we just apologize, they’d let us in.”
“Why should we apologize?” Fang Cheng queried with confusion. “I am not particularly keen on entering that market.”
“I thought so too. Let’s just ignore them then.”
“Sure, let’s ignore them and focus on our own business,” Fang Cheng approved.
Xu Qingling gave Fang Cheng a slight smile and then returned to her work.
anwhile, Fang Cheng browsed through online comnts and was surprised.
Dostic players found “Animal Crisis” fun to play, but overseas players held the ga in even higher regard because of nostalgia.
It seems nostalgia is a powerful elent in ga-making. If I want to make my gas even more enjoyable, I should focus more on this aspect in the future to make them more interesting.
Wait, why am I already thinking about the next ga?
Stroking his chin, Fang Cheng realized he had developed a bit of a bad habit lately: thinking about the next ga before the current one was finished.
This habit wasn’t necessarily bad, but Fang Cheng felt it was a bit odd.
After all, ga developnt should be done with full dedication; it’s best to focus on doing the current project well and deal with the future when it cos.
However, he certainly had his reasons for this mindset, and he needed to take the ti to think deeply about his true intentions.
Regathering his thoughts, Fang Cheng returned his focus to the ga.
“Animal Crisis” was successful, with players mostly concentrating on how to efficiently eliminate zombies, which aligned perfectly with Fang Cheng’s initial ideas.
However, to prevent the players from causing any more trouble, he felt more precautions were needed.
The new weapon system needed to go live soon, new ga chanics needed to be unlocked promptly, and players needed more thrilling ways to play, to fully enjoy the fun of exterminating pests.
Resolved, Fang Cheng and others like Huang Ping began to optimize the ga anew.
“`
The ga was nearly adding a new version every few days, its insane updating speed even surpassing the player’s pace of play, causing players to exclaim, “Slow down the updates, we can’t keep up!”
The thrill of the entire ga kept intensifying with each new update, as a myriad of weapons kept erging, offering players fresh content to dive into and making them even more addicted.
Of course, so felt the update pace was too fast, while others thought it was too slow.
As soon as the latest weapon, the drone swarm, was released, the idler Xien Waidao breezed through a hundred waves of zombies with it and then lazily ssaged Liuzi, “Liuzi, I’ve already cleared the ga with the new weapon.”
There was no reply.
After so thought, Xien Waidao continued to send ssages, “Noob, go play basketball with your brother, gaming’s not for you.”
Still no reply.
By then, Xien Waidao was convinced that Liuzi must have been truly tied up; otherwise, he would have started bantering with him by now.
Liuzi’s comic had reached its climax, with plot twists being thrown out like they were free, softening even the toughest guys into tears.
The heart-wrenching comic was hard to watch, yet irresistibly compelling, creating a torturous itch for readers, probably even more so for the author.
But Liuzi, that heartless guy, probably reveled in the process of tornting his readers to their limits.
“As I thought, I knew Liuzi was a sadist; he might be climaxing right now watching his readers’ complaints,” Xien Waidao confidently asserted.
“What? Why are you so sure he’s a sadist?” Mukuai 1234 asked, baffled.
“Only a sadist could be friends with soone like ,” Xien Waidao retorted.
Mukuai 1234 was speechless, feeling like what Xien Waidao said made a lot of sense.
However, upon second thought, she realized a sad fact.
Then what does that make ?
Kicking stones sullenly, she finally ca up with a point of contention, “How do you know he considers you a friend?”
“Hmph, that guy’s either rushing his comics or gaming all day long, no ti for friends. And since I have the best relationship with him, I must be his friend,” Xien Waidao rebutted.
Mukuai 1234 felt like Xien Waidao was talking nonsense, yet it weirdly made sense.
“That… What about Goddess of Art?”
“Ah? They’re bound to beco an item sooner or later. Anyway, I don’t oppose virtual relationships, as long as they’re happy,” Xien Waidao said.
“Hmm? Hmm…”
Hearing Xien Waidao’s words, Mukuai 1234 let out a helpless sigh.
This jerk, why is he always like this.
Every ti she started to think he was an unreliable person, he would say sothing disarming.
Unable to resist, she patted Xien Waidao’s head, finding this guy was actually kind of cute.
Maybe she should invite him to “Limit World” later to see the goldfish together?
After testing the new weapon, Xien Waidao switched back to his usual weapon, the AK47.
There were many weapons more powerful than this one, but he had a special attachnt to it and thus used it the most.
Just as he was about to start a ga, he suddenly received a private ssage from Black Tech.
After reading the contents of the ssage, his excitent instantly peaked, and he grabbed Mukuai 1234 and ran.
Being dragged along as if about to take off, Mukuai 1234 asked in confusion, “What’s going on?”
“Hurry up, Black Tech has found a new Easter egg!”
