Chapter 563 -327 A Boring Game (Three more)_2

Lying under the parasol, three squirrels were drinking soda and nibbling on plump pine nuts, gazing at the tranquil sea before them and feeling that life was worth living.

“So comfy~”

“Yeah, it was so thrilling just earlier, and now it’s so comfortable, this is the way to live.”

“I don’t even feel like going back anymore. Great Heavenly Lord, can we work from here?”

As Fang Cheng was reminiscing the recent experiences, he answered Squirrel No.1’s question directly, “You can, I can set up a server here for you guys, so you can work from here too.”

“Thanks a lot, Great Heavenly Lord!”

Once the three squirrels had adjusted, Fang Cheng immediately embarked on the next project with them.

They climbed snowy mountains, they crossed deserts, they barbecued under an erupting volcano, they ran for their lives from the pursuit of prehistoric beasts.

The natural wonders, shaped like works of gods and ghosts, offered too many places to explore, and after running around for five full days, they still hadn’t covered the entire area.

In the end, they arrived at an ice plain covered with snow, where a newly built wooden cabin emitted a pleasant pine fragrance. By the bright fireplace, the three squirrels sat neatly lined up, holding freshly roasted pine cones in their paws.

Squirrels No.1 and Three were already playing to the point of drowsiness, and Squirrel Two was also getting sleepy.

However, upon seeing Fang Cheng deep in thought, it put down the pine cone and climbed onto Fang Cheng’s shoulder.

Perched on Fang Cheng’s right shoulder, it asked curiously, “Great Heavenly Lord, what are you thinking about? Is it the ultimate mystery of the universe?”

“That’s an easy question, it’s just…”

After listening to Fang Cheng’s explanation, Squirrel Two’s eyes widened, feeling as if its entire worldview had been reshaped.

With the mystery of the universe unveiled, it felt as though its thoughts had ascended to a higher dimension, and it cleverly deduced a wealth of knowledge, causing it an almost splitting headache.

Just when it thought its brain was about to burst from this knowledge, Fang Cheng touched its head, and the mysteries of the universe were instantly sealed away, leaving Squirrel Two feeling a sense of loss.

“This knowledge is still too advanced for you, wait until you’re stronger to contemplate it.”

Squirrel Two looked at Fang Cheng gratefully, but then curiously asked, “Great Heavenly Lord, since you’re already aware of such taboo knowledge, what else is there for you to ponder?”

“How to make a fun game.”

“But aren’t you always doing that?”

“It’s not quite what I have in mind…”

Looking at the somewhat troubled Fang Cheng, Squirrel Two felt that the game Heavenly Lord Fang wanted to create must be unparalleled, and its level of entertainment would surely break through the heavens.

Seeing Fang Cheng still in distress, Squirrel Two felt it necessary to alleviate the worries of its boss.

After all, the boss had given them so much, not to mention the breakthrough from the Shadows for these animals and plants,—just the employee reward alone was worth giving their all for the boss.

A boss who could offer planets as employee rewards, it could see no reason not to dedicate its life to him.

After some thought, Squirrel Two said, “Boss, if you really can’t come up with the game you want to make, why not try using the process of elimination?”

Looking at Squirrel Two, Fang Cheng showed interest and said, “Go on.”

“Eliminate the wrong answers one by one, and whatever remains must be the right one. So, why not create a game with what you consider boring, and then see how the players react?”

Fang Cheng didn’t respond, instead staring ahead in thought.

No.1 and Three had already fallen asleep, and the room was filled only with the sound of the crackling fire and the howling of the blizzard outside.

Time seemed to be frozen into glaciers here; all sounds solidified and fell to the ground, only by roasting over the fire could one hear the melodies of the past.

The warm glow of the fire painted a divine, though somewhat enigmatic expression on Fang Cheng’s face.

After a moment, Fang Cheng nodded in satisfaction, rubbing Squirrel Two’s little head and said, “That’s a good idea.”

Combining his experiences from the past few days, Fang Cheng found that there were too many things he found boring.

Well, let’s extract these boring projects and make a game out of them.

This game has no story, no character progression, no risqué segments, no hidden elements; he didn’t think his enemies in the industry could make anything exciting out of it.

Letting the three squirrels continue their holiday, Fang Cheng found a similar planet and began to reshape it as needed.

These constructions didn’t take much time, so after a week’s absence, Fang Cheng returned to his studio and handed the USB drive to Huang Ping.

Taking the USB drive from Fang Cheng, Huang Ping immediately asked, “Boss, what kind of game is this one?”

“A pretty boring game.”

Looking at Fang Cheng, Huang Ping could tell that his boss seemed quite serious.

But after playing the demo, he realized Fang Cheng was indeed serious.

He was seriously making a joke.

This game was thrilling!

The entire game was a culmination of all extreme sports, an eclectic mix of action that got him totally hooked. Each activity left his limbs cold and his heart racing, yet he couldn’t help but want to keep playing.

His first event was high-rise parkour, which required first-person navigation through skyscrapers, forests, ruins, and even bizarre structures, reveling in the rush of soaring adrenaline.

Just using keyboard and mouse controls made him scream repeatedly. When he fell from a high ledge, the swaying camera almost broke his composure; the first time, he even clutched the desk beside him and let out an indistinct shriek.

In that moment, his mind went blank, as if he was really plummeting into the Abyss, stepping into a hell from which there was no return.

But when he realized he was still in the studio, and in fact quite safe, he started taking deep breaths immediately.

The intense contrast caused a frenzied release of endorphins in his body, giving him a sensation of almost ascending to heaven.

After calming down with some effort, he involuntarily glanced at the gaming pod in his resting room.

Playing on the computer was already this exciting; if he used the gaming pod…

Shaking his head, he immediately put the thought out of his mind, not daring to continue.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he looked at Fang Cheng and said sincerely, “Boss, this game is really too stimulating.”

“Hmm?”

“I’m not trying to hype up the game, but I have to say, when it comes to extreme sports games currently on the market, none can compare to this one.”

“Hmm hmm?”

“Especially the moment of falling from the platform—I really felt like I was actually falling.”

“That’s because you actually did fall.”

“Haha, Boss, you really do have a sense of humor. Anyway, seeing this game, Boss Gao is really going to be ecstatic. But players of this game need to go through a screening. Those with psychological and mental disorders absolutely must not play. And maybe the realism could be turned down a bit or be adjustable; otherwise, it’s really too intense.”

“… You’re not joking with me, are you?”

“Boss, this is not the time for modesty. Come on, Xiao Douzi, Monkey, you two should give it a try too.”

A few minutes later, all the employees at Fang Cheng Studio began excitedly engaging with their favorite sports, and even Xu Qingling, who usually wasn’t interested in such games, was curiously drawn in by the racing segment in the game and began playing nonstop, losing track of time.

Seeing his colleagues getting so passionate, Fang Cheng once again felt a sense of perplexity.

Why were they having so much fun with these boring projects?

No character progression, no story developments, but they were engrossed in each and every game that they would normally have little access to, having a blast.

Sitting at his own workstation, Fang Cheng looked at his colleagues, who were all screaming and shouting, and suddenly he remembered a saying:

“The excitement is all theirs; I have nothing.”
