To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 227: Chapter 154: Unexpected Surprise (Second Update)_2

But this is also a characteristic of Fang Cheng Studio, and players are probably used to it by now.

Noticing Huang Ping had fallen into deep thought, Fang Cheng quietly waited for the other to ponder the related issues.

Once Huang Ping had finished thinking, he then asked, “I feel that game has become a bit boring, is there a way to compensate the players?”

“Compensate for what?”

“Compensate them for the psychological trauma of playing a boring game.”

“Then ninety percent of the game companies in the world would have to be fined into bankruptcy. Just so happens, I’ve had an idea for quite some time, should we consider making a universal pass? The studio’s games can actually be accessed using one account, allowing players to log into all our games with a single universal pass, making it convenient for them to play.”

Fang Cheng thought for a moment and felt that Huang Ping was right, so he encouraged him to continue.

“The game’s official website could be linked to the Game Inn, making it convenient for players to come and go. In addition, the previous easter egg, Mukuai, can also be utilized. I’m not too clear on the difficulty of implementation, but I think having Mukuai as a permanent character on our platform is a good idea. Moreover, players have a high acceptance of Mukuai, which can be seen as giving the players a surprise and compensation.”

Hearing this idea, Tian Xuan, who was beside them, immediately turned her head, looking over with anticipation.

The more frequent the appearances of the Mukuai, the more opportunities she had to compensate players for their merits.

If Mukuai appeared in every game, she would essentially be able to fully exhaust her merits and no longer have to worry about being in debt to players.

Huang Ping’s suggestion was somewhat tempting to Fang Cheng.

After a brief deliberation, Fang Cheng felt the idea was feasible, and sensing the players would probably be happy with it, he nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll take care of this.”

He let Huang Ping continue with his work while Fang Cheng began to ponder how to integrate all the games into one entity.

His physical body remained in place, but his Primordial Spirit had already arrived in the Mirror Universe, starting to plan how to proceed.

Huang Ping was right; as the number of games increased, it was time to integrate them under a single universal pass.

“First off, we need a blank space.”

Following his command, nearby dust began to converge, and a massive amount of particulate matter directly formed a vast land to welcome players.

“Then, there must be Heavenly Dao Laws.”

Tian Xuan was summoned here.

Now dressed in splendid garments and having repaired her flaws, Tian Xuan could finally include this place in her own jurisdiction and manage this space.

Bowing slightly to Fang Cheng, she produced a clump of daylilies and cast them toward the mainland in front of her.

As Little Heavenly Way, Tian Xuan encompassed mostly wood-based Heavenly Ways, and the Laws she governed were also related to wood.

When the daylilies touched the land, they dissolved into points of light and vanished, and the entire mainland welcomed its own Little Heavenly Way. Subsequently, it seemed to gain its own life, becoming real and vibrant.

After this ritual was completed, the Mukuai arrived.

The first to arrive were the larger Mukuai, each of them enormous in size. Upon their arrival, they began to reshape the mainland according to Tian Xuan’s ideas, making it more suitable for habitation.

Then, the smaller Mukuai also arrived, starting to make detailed adjustments, changing the soil, water, and air, and began planting crops.

Finally, the regular Mukuai arrived. They built houses, each of which would become a unique facility for players in the future; every player would be assigned their own unique Mukuai who would guide them in mastering everything here.

Teleportation Arrays were set up by Fang Cheng, allowing players to travel to different worlds and play different games through the arrays in their own homes.

After all this was done, Fang Cheng looked on with satisfaction.

Afterward, this place would provide services for the universal pass; players entering the game would first create their own character here, then use different Teleportation Arrays to transform into the corresponding forms for each game.

As for guiding players to accept and get used to the universal pass, the Mukuai were very experienced.

They were professional guides, highly skilled at guiding players through games. Leaving it to them was a professional match, no need to worry.

Moreover, new player onboarding could be left to the Mukuai in the future, significantly reducing their own workload.

These features would be tested for a while; once the effect was good, they would be promoted all together.

Having dealt with these issues, Fang Cheng also felt he had resolved a concern, so his Primordial Spirit returned to its place, continuing to accumulate inspiration and insights.

The Mukuai who came here quickly understood their tasks, then began to sense the location and tapped into the mana left by Fang Cheng to establish a connection with the players they were assisting.

Soon, the first batch of players would be greeted with this easter egg.

Kylin Industry had its own company in Mo City, so the markets in Mo City were the second to obtain VR flight simulators after Rong City.

Upon learning that this was another collaboration between Fang Cheng Studio and Kylin Industry, Chen Rang immediately applied for a spot. As soon as the VR flight simulator became available, he quickly found the person in charge and rushed over to experience it.

The reason he was so eager was that he had heard an exciting rumor.

“The Squirrel Spaceship” had been updated.

Moreover, following the update, pass certificates were added, and all of Fang Cheng Studio’s games would be integrated into the pass certificate system, allowing players to log into all the games with it.

In addition to that, the game had added a fantastic easter egg, which could be seen in the VR flight simulator.

However, when asked what the easter egg was, the leaker didn’t say; they only mentioned that the easter egg was particularly impressive but not everyone could find it.

Carrying high expectations for the easter egg, the game-enthusiast journalist, Chen Rang, entered the game.

After undergoing a real-name registration, he set up his account and changed his nickname in “The Squirrel Spaceship.” With the electronic voice of Alpha guiding him, he then entered the game, eagerly looking around.

Unfortunately, other than his spaceship and a squirrel outside being serviced, he didn’t see anything else.

“Indeed, my luck isn’t that good, huh?”

“I think it’s not bad,” came a reply.

A familiar voice sounded, making Chen Rang excitedly look up.

Outside, a tall figure of Mukuai smiled and waved at him. Then, with a flip, they jumped into the cockpit and transformed into a form about the same size as Chen Rang upon landing.

Rubbing Chen Rang’s head vigorously, Mukuai said, “I didn’t expect you to be a squirrel here. You look pretty cute. Alright, let me explain some things you need to be aware of. You need to listen carefully.”

Seeing a familiar face and hearing the familiar voice, Chen Rang felt like he was dreaming and couldn’t help asking, “You’re Mukuai, right?”

“That’s right,” the figure confirmed.

“You’re not some other Mukuai, nor someone else’s Mukuai, right?”

Rubbing Chen Rang’s head again, Mukuai hugged him tightly, then consoled, “Don’t worry, I’m the Mukuai who will always assist you.”

At that moment, Chen Rang’s fondness for Fang Cheng Studio turned into reverence, and he decided he would from then on be an unwavering fan of Fang Cheng Studio, following them unconditionally.

Patting Chen Rang’s back, Mukuai continued, “Alright, let’s continue the game! The first step, charge out!”

“Charge out!”

Amid the stirring music, the spaceship soared into the sky, heading towards the wrinkled space ahead to rescue those squirrels.

Just like Chen Rang, someone else had seen their Mukuai 1234.

Xiemen Waidao looked at the Mukuai 1234 outside, who also looked back at him with a helpless expression.

After a moment of silence, Mukuai 1234 covered its head and sighed helplessly, “Our last encounter should have been our last.”

“To be precise, it was fifteen minutes ago.”

“Didn’t you say you were busy today, so you left ‘The Supreme One’ early and then went to handle things? Could you translate for me, what does ‘handle things’ mean?”

“That’s…”

“Don’t tell me you accidentally fell while walking, then accidently stumbled into the gaming pod and unintentionally succeeded in paying to start the game, and finally accidentally saw me.”

“Your excuse is good, can you delete it and let me repeat it?”

“Sigh…”

“Actually, I just wanted to play the game, but I always felt like telling you to go play another game came with a, you know, that thing.”

“I don’t understand,” Mukuai 1234 stated expressionlessly.

“Well…”

Normally quick-witted, Xiemen Waidao found himself at a loss for words and could only silently allow Alpha to help ascend into space, flying towards the space fold.
