120: Echoes of Terror
The one-dollar toys were a carnival exclusive to children.
For one dollar, you couldn't get cheated and you couldn't go wrong; the only problem was that everyone was struggling to get their hands on Monkey King's golden-hooped rod.
Ding Yi failed to buy a golden-hooped rod, so he settled for the next best thing and bought Guan Yu's green dragon crescent blade.
This was also a popular weapon.
He happily took the green dragon crescent blade he bought and went home.
Although there were no new cartoons from Ye Bai to watch recently, he could still rewatch the old ones.
He watched romance of the three kingdoms once again, and this time, holding the green dragon crescent blade in his hand, he felt as if he had become Guan Yu.
He was completely immersed!
The next day.
Ding Yi happily headed to school with his blade, but before he could show it off, he saw a chubby boy holding an eighty-centimeter golden-hooped rod.
As the boy brandished the golden-hooped rod, the surrounding classmates all let out cries of awe.
"So cool! So cool! Great Sage, Equal to Heaven!"
"Can you lend it to me to play with? Please!"
"Where did you buy it? How come I didn't see it? Let me touch it."
The chubby boy was extremely proud. "Impressive, right! I am the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, the Monkey King!"
As he spoke, he even struck a pose.
He wasn't about to tell his classmates that he had bought it this morning at the school canteen.
This large toy hadn't arrived at the canteen last night, but it happened to be there when he went this morning.
He immediately had his father buy one for him.
Haha!
Now he was the only Monkey King in the class; how could those small toys compare to him?
The children were inseparable from their toys, even playing with them secretly during class.
However, after the teacher confiscated a few, they started to behave.
Because of this, the school teachers also began to worry a bit.
Before, they had to try every possible way to give the children more recreational activities so they wouldn't easily develop emotional illness.
But now that Ye Bai had burst onto the scene, the romance of the three kingdoms and journey to the west he made were indeed great to watch.
It was just that... it wouldn't do if the children only thought about playing.
To address this, many schools quickly issued orders: playing with toys was not allowed during class, and if caught once, parents would be called.
As for after class, they could do as they pleased.
emotional illness was the greatest enemy of this world.
At this time, Ye Bai didn't know the teachers were starting to have headaches; he had just finished making fireboy and watergirl.
"It's this kind of mini-game, you guys try it out," he said, sending the game to his classmates.
Pei Ji took a look. "It's so small."
The group clicked in and found that the protagonists of this game were actually two little figures so crude they couldn't be any cruder.
The scenes were also unexpectedly simple.
At first, everyone thought, what's so fun about this?
But who knew that playing it was actually not simple at all; if you weren't careful, you'd die and have to start all over again.
Moreover, the game design was very interesting; the little fire person could only walk on fire, and the little water person could only walk in water. If they accidentally entered the other's domain, they would die.
Of course, the most important thing was that it required two people to cooperate with each other.
Playing alone was slightly boring, but playing together with two people was a lot of fun.
Thus, they played with great enjoyment.
When Ye Bai asked them again, they were full of excitement. "I get it, I get it!"
"Is this a puzzle game?"
Ye Bai: "Uh, this is a two-player adventure game."
Mi Leshan was lost in thought. "So we just need to make this kind of mini-game."
They had fallen into a misconception from the start.
That was, they had been learning how to produce holographic games from the beginning, and as everyone knew, the games in this world were quite subpar.
They had the technology, but no fun.
That is to say, the modeling was maxed out, but the plot was completely unwatchable, and the gameplay was uninteresting.
The skill tree was completely lopsided.
The reason Ye Bai had them make these mini-games first was also to let them enrich the gameplay, rather than blindly pursuing exquisite modeling and beautiful maps.
This way, he might be able to give them some large-scale games to work on later.
After Ye Bai set an example for them, he continued to make mini-games.
He had to make things like Gold Miner as well, didn't he?
Time soon arrived for the launch of horror echo.
Midnight.
Streamer timed it perfectly and opened the game horror echo to start her livestream.
Since she had livestreamed many games during the Public Welfare Competition last time, her popularity had suddenly soared.
This was also thanks to Wandering God's game. Now that this game, co-produced by Wandering God and Master Qin, was being released, she had to support it.
Moreover, God's Domain also had the livestreaming rights for horror echo.
"Family, let's play this horror echo together," she said as she downloaded the game.
[The name sounds very scary.]
[I watched a little bit of the CG. Master Qin is truly Master Qin; the visuals are still very exquisite this time.]
[Master Qin has been quiet for so long, his fans must be starving to death. I didn't expect Master Qin to collaborate with Wandering God. I wonder how it turned out.]
[It's starting, it's starting!]
Streamer clicked in. The first thing she saw was the chapter selection. "Let's see, there are a total of six chapters here. The first chapter is..."
"spirit pen?"
"Alright, let's enter the game."
She started the game and immediately appeared in a dormitory.
There were several boys around her, and some simple character introductions suddenly appeared in her mind.
This was also a common technique used by game Producers.
The one eating instant noodles was called Zheng Feilong, the one playing games was Chen Xiaohu, the one who hadn't returned yet was Yu Shi, and her body was named Jiang Dashu.
"What a sloppy name!" Streamer complained.
"So this body is a boy. This is what a boys' dormitory looks like; there are even smelly socks on the floor."
"Hey, how are things between you and Xiao Mei?" Zheng Feilong suddenly turned to look at Chen Xiaohu and spoke.
Chen Xiaohu didn't even look up. "We broke up."
"Broke up? You've only been together for over two months, and you've already broken up?" Zheng Feilong clicked his tongue. "Why?"
Chen Xiaohu didn't seem willing to say more and didn't reply.
Streamer didn't know what she should say either, so she looked for clues on the desk.
There was only a laptop and some books on the desk, nothing else.
Streamer rummaged through the cabinet again. Before she could look through much, Zheng Feilong looked at her. "What are you looking for? I've seen you rummaging for ages. Your long johns?"
Streamer scratched her head. "No, my phone is missing."
Zheng Feilong: ..."Isn't it right there on the desk? You really should go get your eyes checked."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dormitory door opened. Yu Shi came back holding a bunch of things. "Look, I've got all the props ready."
"How about it? We can play tonight."
Streamer was stunned. "Play what?"
Zheng Feilong glanced at her. "Didn't you say you wanted to play the spirit pen game? You forgot it yourself?"
"spirit pen game?" Streamer frowned.
Yu Shi put the things on the desk. "Yeah."
He opened the laptop and pulled up a post. "Here, you were clamoring to play after seeing this. Did you sleep yourself into a daze?"
Streamer leaned over and took a look. The title of this post was—
[After playing the spirit pen game, I really regret it...]
