Chapter 626 -358: Epic Game (Part 2)

Players love competition, don’t they? So, here they can also play online games together, competing to see who is the best at enlightening these souls.

And since there are quite a variety of souls here, the different characteristics of these souls need to be developed so that players can have different experiences.

Once a player’s enlightenment reaches a certain level, they can earn enough merit to become an Immortal; then, they can instantly become one and experience the pleasures of being an Immortal.

Looking at his finished product, Fang Cheng realized he had accidentally overdone it a bit, making the process of gaining merit before becoming an Immortal a bit too intense.

However, this way, players can understand the difficulty of becoming an Immortal, and they will cherish the experience more after they’ve achieved it, which should be fun in its own right.

After figuring this out, Fang Cheng kept making improvements and eagerly awaited the end of the holiday so Huang Ping and the others could return and help him refine his ideas.

Finally, the New Year’s festivities came to a close.

This year’s Spring Festival Gala was as stable as ever, performing no differently from previous years.

Comparing others, Fang Cheng found that the Passport World had the most participants; the player-organized evening party was quite impressive and attracted a sizeable audience.

When Huang Ping and the others returned, Fang Cheng immediately handed out red packets for starting work again and then passed his newly created game to Huang Ping.

Looking at the USB drive handed over by Fang Cheng, Huang Ping’s mouth twitched.

Clutching the USB drive, Huang Ping asked, “Boss, how long did you work on this game?”

“Not too long, about a month.”

“So you’ve been making games since the vacation started! Boss, this is nepotism! Moreover, you’ve finished the most interesting and hardest part by yourself; you should let us practice a bit!”

“Don’t mind those details, what do you think of this game?”

Looking at Fang Cheng, who didn’t seem to realize he did anything wrong, Huang Ping sighed helplessly.

Forget it, his boss’s problem might never change for his whole life.

Just let him be.

Accepting the USB drive, Huang Ping carefully checked it and noticed that this time, there was quite a bit of content.

Unlike previous games that loaded in seconds, this time the game took a while to load, giving Huang Ping a premonition:

Something big was coming.

And after entering the game, Huang Ping found a person standing in the middle of his screen.

This person looked a bit like a Cultivator who had walked right out of “Work at Sunrise,” with a space shuttle that appeared rather high-tech floating beside him.

Just from this initial screen, Huang Ping felt that the game was probably related to this Cultivator.

So, is this another cultivation game?

But then, Huang Ping realized that he had judged too hastily.

The game was a rare turn-based game, and once it officially started, the Cultivator under my control took the nearby spaceship and glided toward the closest planet, landing directly on it.

When it landed smoothly, the spaceship began to unfold, and a small city appeared in the center of Huang Ping’s screen, with a line of text appearing on the screen: “New Era Year, our space colonization ship has landed, a new settlement has emerged, its name is Xia. We have been traveling in space for so long that we have forgotten most of our technology and our history, our origins. But no matter, we will soon remember.”

“We are lucky, our captain, who has awakened as a legendary Cultivator during our journey. If you can become an Immortal, it will be a tremendous help to us, as well as our dependence for survival in this dangerous world. Therefore, we will do our utmost to help you become an Immortal, Captain.”

With just a few sentences, the basic plot of the game was laid out, giving Huang Ping a preliminary understanding of his role and the background of the game.

Focusing his attention on the game, Huang Ping continued to play.

The unfolded settlement had its own sphere of influence. Outside this sphere, there was no electricity, and the force field that came with the settlement couldn’t transport materials to these areas. It was necessary to produce engineering robots, only then, could one’s territory be expanded bit by bit.

The larger the city, the more electricity and food resources it required. It was necessary to continuously develop various facilities to maintain the size of the city.

This game was like “Civilization” and “Star,” but the captain’s setting added a lot of personal involvement to the game.

Moreover, this character wasn’t just a mascot; he also had his unique setting.

Inside the game, there were settings for electricity, various minerals, luxury goods, and the magical thing called karma. This is closely related to the population’s number and their awakening level—the higher these two values, the more squares one could obtain.

This karma would concentrate on the captain. Different Divine Skills could be unlocked with different amounts of karma, and many Divine Skills had various impacts on the development of the city.

At first, Huang Ping didn’t think karma was of much use.

However, after he spent karma to let his character use a skilled hand, he was surprised to find that a nearby “failed AI settlement” was wiped out with a single slap from his character, a feat that normally required significant power to achieve.

Thus, he realized that karma seemed to be the correct way to play this game, and all other systems actually needed to be based on this karma setting.

Compared with other games of this type, this one seemed to emphasize individual heroism more, and the karma setting also made Huang Ping very interested in becoming an Immortal later on, eager to find out what it would be like after becoming an Immortal.

As the game progressed, Huang Ping found there were indeed many interesting aspects in the game.

Each time, the ethnicity assigned to him was slightly different, and the plot for each ethnicity also varied greatly.

Once their awakening level accumulated to a certain degree, they would recall some of their past experiences, memories passed down through bloodline continuously, allowing their descendants to occasionally remember their ancestors’ stories.

During awakening, the protagonist would gain a large amount of karma, and the corresponding ethnicity would receive either a buff or debuff effect.

Some experiences might cause an ethnicity to develop a fear of gunfire, but they might also make one’s ethnicity more tenacious and brave, unafraid of sacrifice.

The development of technology also relied on recollection. In the early stages, the special unit called “Prophet” could meditate to help people remember past technologies, but in the later stages, it was necessary to establish schools and research institutes to study technology.

And some ethnicities wouldn’t build such scientific research units. They might have the magical ability to foresee, and all their technologies came through their own foresight. But sometimes, they would peep into forbidden knowledge, allowing their ethnicity to acquire some evil technologies and pollution.

In the game, there was no shortage of enemies and their varieties, ranging from “faulty AIs” to “rebel empires,” and the evil Cultivators from other tribes would also be enemies. The gradually increasing difficulty and content allowed the game to maintain enough substance in both the early and late stages, making Huang Ping realize that the content was so extensive that even if split up to make three games there wouldn’t be any problem.

Since getting the game, Huang Ping had been glued to his screen, thinking about the issues in the game even after being chased out of the studio by Sanmiao at the end of work, and he was still staring into the distance before going to bed while his wife called him over a dozen times but he didn’t hear her at all.

After going to work, he opened his computer to start the game, and he went through the process without uttering a word, just staring at the game, occasionally stopping to play for a while and then continuing to think.

After playing like a statue for a week, and just when people around him felt Huang Ping might need to visit the hospital, he nodded seriously and said, “This is epic.”
