Creating a Virtual World

Chapter 42: Gameplay

Views:

After Jiang Qiao gave his father a "torrent of inspiration" state, he stopped caring about this matter...

Jiang Qiao's father has been working on this project for five years.

It was rumored that his father had made a 3D projector in the past five years, but the machine was only big enough to fit on an entire cruise ship. If the rumor was true, then his father's current task should be to shrink the 3D projector.

This development trajectory is the same as that of computers and steam engines. When computers were first invented, it took several rooms to fit a mainframe.

Now Hai Lan was still eating crayfish on the low dining table in front of the sofa, while Jiang Qiao began to test the rules of the game in the other world.

Jiang Qiao spent about 500 points of creation energy to transform the space on the dining table into a test version of the world on the blue planet.

On the surface, there was no change. The shrimp shells that Hai Lan had chewed were piled in a corner of the table. Jiang Qiao summoned a mini version of "No Update Today" on the table, which was his own Holy Spirit character.

The game plane in the other world is only the size of a thumb when it is not updated today, and consumes much less energy.

"What do you want to do?" Hai Lan said as she stopped chewing the crayfish.

This test at Jiangqiao looks like it will consume an extremely extremely large amount of energy.

“I want to give the players the right to build the otherworld.”

As Jiang Qiao spoke as an elemental summoner, a brick appeared in his hand. He put the bricks together one by one and they became a house that looked like a coffin lid.

"Leave it to the players? Do you mean to let them control the Holy Spirit characters to build houses in the real world?" Hai Lan said, glancing at the tall buildings outside the window behind him. "Are you going to tear those things down?"

"Players are just three-dimensional projections. They cannot touch things in reality, they can only see them. So although players can see everything in reality, the world inside is essentially just a super flat world, which is very suitable for... building houses."

Jiang Qiao said this and asked his Elemental Summoner character to reach out and take a piece of crayfish that Xiao Hailan had not eaten yet.

Hai Lan rescued her crayfish at a speed that was impossible to catch with the naked eye and lifted it high above her head.

Jiang Qiao sighed helplessly and had to ask his elemental summoner to get the pile of lobster shells instead.

The result is that the elemental summoner's hand passed through the lobster shell. Because theoretically this elemental summoner is just a three-dimensional projection, Jiang Qiao is using the creation state to simulate this effect.

"Players all have the ability to build houses. Isn't the inner world of Blue Star full of these... coffin lids?" Hai Lan put down the crayfish in her hand and pointed at the coffin lid that Jiang Qiao had just built.

"It is time to introduce the manor system in the Holy Spirit."

Jiang Qiao asked his elemental summoner to walk to Hailan's lunch box containing lobster shells again. Hailan hugged the lunch box with both hands and instantly entered alert mode.

It's just like a lazy, fat orange cat suddenly goes into combat mode when it finds out that its dried fish is about to be stolen by another cat.

The Elemental Summoner did not do anything to Hai Lan's lunch box, but a small window appeared in front of him, showing a line of data.

「Manor Sea Blue Goddess’ lunch box

Floor area: 530 square centimeters.

Purchase requirements: 100 magic stones. "

The purchase condition of magic stones is just something Jiang Qiao made up. If players really want to buy real estate in the 'real world' and build houses in the Holy Spirit in the future, their needs will definitely be different.

"Players can buy houses in the location I set. The location can be purchased repeatedly, but the only one that will be displayed is the best-built manor," said Jiang Qiao.

"Is this like another game? Everyone collects materials in the Holy Spirit, and then runs into the real world to... build a house?"

Hailan's comprehension ability is really strong, but when the topic of eating comes up, her IQ drops a little.

"It's not another game, but a new version." Jiang Qiao expressed his thoughts.

"After you take back the fragment of the godhead, I will update the game version. The existence of the inner world and the increase in the level cap will be launched simultaneously. This is also a way to save energy for creation. After all, moving buildings directly from the Holy Spirit to the inner world also consumes a lot of energy. It is more in line with the setting of the real world for players to build them brick by brick."

"I remember you were talking to the girl who was boiling water, what was her name..."

"Black Hair Evergreen?" Jiang Qiao said the name of the player who impressed him. "She is currently level 25 and is still working hard to save 100 gold. But she is indeed a very creative player. I think she will shine in the other world in the future."

"There is no such thing as a main city in the other world. Won't the invaders from the invaded plane tear down the players' manors?"

Hailan is still very protective of her players. It feels like a new mother who has just become a mother and doesn't know how to take care of her child. Although she is a little clumsy, she will still protect her baby, um... the player.

"Won't the players build cannons or defense towers in the manor, or things like prism towers to bombard him?" Jiang Qiao told Hai Lan about his ambitions. "But never underestimate our creativity..."

Perhaps the creativity of a game planner is limited, but the creativity of the player group is unlimited. This can be seen from a game called "Siege", which was originally a medieval construction game, but was turned by players into games such as StarCraft, Gundam Fighting, World of Tanks, etc.

The original world of the Holy Spirit was designed out of consideration for the gaming experience of NPCs and other players, and Jiang Qiao restricted the gaming experience of a group of construction party players.

But the inner world is completely different. This is a super flat world where builders can do whatever they want as long as they have enough money to buy houses.

"I find it very interesting when I hear it, as if it has turned into...tower defense." Hai Lan thought for a while and recalled a word Jiang Qiao mentioned before.

"Isn't it normal for us to build a defensive line when the enemy invades?" Jiang Qiao didn't consider what the gaming experience would be like for the enemies invading the plane.

The construction system of Holy Spirit is very complicated. It is complicated in the sense of freedom, but it is also a game in essence. To build a cannon in Holy Spirit, you do not need a high degree of education. You only need a corresponding profession in life. The system of Holy Spirit will guide players to make what they want, and the operation of all creations is based on the manor's entity, a setting called "Holy Crystal".

"But isn't it too early to talk about this now?" Hai Lan had already finished the crayfish in her hand. "It's still a question whether I can get the fragments of my godhood, and... will three-dimensional projection really become popular so quickly?"

"Yes, I have a hunch. Although it will take some time, we... or all the players of Holy Spirit must work together. The first step is to raise our own levels." Jiang Qiao has absolute confidence in the players under his command.

But this confidence did not last long. After testing the basic operation mode of the inner world, Jiang Qiao took the time to take a look at the Holy Spirit section of the player community. A post in the Holy Spirit section successfully caught Jiang Qiao's attention.

The title of the post is "There is a new NPC competition outside the Trial Tower, and the NPCs there are so strong! I have suffered four times! Is there any PK master who can help me get back on track? It's urgent!"

PS: There are many things I want to write about this book. It is not limited to creating a game world, but also about changing the real world, changing other worlds and so on... If you have any opinions, you can also put them forward in the book review area. I will read them. This is the third update_(:з」∠)_ I would like to ask for a recommendation.
