Build a game empire from scratch

"No wonder "Pokemon" is a free game, and all the items in the mall can be purchased with copper coins..."

Xia Yi consciously has seen through Lin You's "sinister" intentions:

"Bafangtouhuan plus Mirage host, one game sells two sets of hardware, close to 20,000 yuan."

"Business genius, Boss Lin!"

Can Pokemon be played for free?

It's totally possible, the copper coins will be dropped when you fight monsters, all the precious item stores will sell them, and you don't need to buy monthly cards.

But the octagon head ring is a hard investment and has to be bought.

After I bought it, I started to play the game, but if I played for a long time, and the days of raising the virtual pet were long, there would always be feelings.

With feelings, who would not want to hug the little guy and rub it when he sees the little guy running around every day?

Then you need a mirage host!

——The opening speed of Yunmeng's experience store is not slow, but there is still a long way to go before it can be spread all over the country.

Now there is this picture scroll of mountains and seas, which further strengthens the player's demand for mirages.

Xia Yi wanted to go home on the spot, enter the virtual world, and feel the virtual reality version of this picture scroll.

But before that...

Following the system prompts, Xia Yi wrote her game ID - "Xia Yi" on the scroll with her index finger.

After finishing the last stroke, the font lights up, and the scroll flickers with light, and then disappears.

But Xia Yi didn't panic. Instead, she opened the panel, and found the newly appeared [Mountain and Sea Scroll] option under the [Map] option.

After thinking about it for a while, she bound the shortcut gesture of "thumbs up" to this map, and opened the picture scroll again.

The picture scroll that appeared this time was unfolded directly in front of her, so there was no need to hold it with both hands.

So Xia Yi lowered her head, and began to search the picture scroll bit by bit, looking for another important location:

"Where's the spirit beast pond?"

The entire picture scroll is more than three feet long, and the main color is still bright green. It is really not easy to find a pool on it.

But the hard work paid off, and after a patient search, she finally found the pool under a hill.

In the landscape painting, the pool looks ordinary, just at the foot of a delicate hill, surrounded by green trees, and a path extends from the pool to a hut in the forest.

On the side of the pool, there are four words written in traditional lower case: [Pond of Spiritual Beasts].

Xia Yi reached out her hand curiously to click on the pool, and a disk interface containing a regular triangle popped up immediately on the scroll, with a frame at the top corner for the main spirit beast, two frames at the bottom corner for the secondary spirit beast, and a frame in the middle You can put fairy dew.

"So, this is the star ascension ceremony? You can synthesize it by putting pets in it?"

"What about the ritual process? Shouldn't it be just tracing this triangle with your hands??"

"Is this too sloppy..."

Xia Yi couldn't accept it.

But she didn't have three spirit beasts of the same type and star level, so she couldn't test them herself, so she could only go online to see if there were any pioneers.

It turned out that it was so-

"Successful star promotion! The so-called ceremony, it turns out to be a small game of one-stroke painting!"

"It seems that as long as the circle and triangle are drawn with one stroke, the ceremony can start normally, but the specific trajectory is not fixed, you can draw it however you want. Will the trajectory affect the success rate?"

"Fuck, I solemnly remind you that the star ascension ceremony must be carried out in an undisturbed environment! Halfway through the ceremony of my three-star promotion to four-star, I was tapped on the shoulder, and my fingers trembled and the drawing crooked a little. The ceremony unexpectedly failed It’s gone! It’s a good thing Samsung won’t fall down, or I’ll cry to death!”

...

"Okay." Xia Yi nodded, "It's good to save a little effort, the next step is to try it yourself."

"Go, Connor! Let's catch the little tiger!"

Her ideal goal, of course, is to find two more four-star Bai Ze, and raise a star for her oldest cub.

"Yeah." Kang Na hugged the little tiger and followed Xia Yi's pace.

——She has been running outside with Xia Yi today. Although she didn't directly participate in the fight when Bai Ze was fighting, she was always on the sidelines cheering the little white tiger up.

*

At night, Xia Yi couldn't run anymore, so she finally gathered three spirit beasts of the same attribute and race—unfortunately, they were only two stars.

Throughout the day, Xia Yi took down all the spirit beasts she encountered, and she didn't let go of any of them.

In the end, excluding the lost and recovered spirit beasts, she met a total of 52 spirit beasts and successfully captured 44 of them.

Calculated, excluding the fighting time, rest time, and eating time, on average, you will encounter a spirit beast every 10 minutes or so.

Not bad.

Among them, the one that impressed her the most was a [Chenghuang] with a very special appearance.

The color on it is very gorgeous - not the usual white and gray, but a mixture of three colors of silver, blue and pink, harmonious and gorgeous.

It's just a pity that all three of his spirit beasts were defeated, and this rare strange-colored beast ran away.

After that, Xia Yi wandered around unwillingly for a while, but couldn't see her again.

As for the handling of these 44 spirit beasts... keep them all for now! Wait until later to think about selling to the store.

In winter in the north, the sky always gets dark very quickly.

Xia Yi asked the audience in the live broadcast room for a vacation, and made an appointment to go back to the virtual world after dinner to continue the live broadcast. Afterwards, she packed up her things and went straight home.

She ordered takeaway on the way, and it was delivered almost as soon as she got home.

It was only after she finished eating that she belatedly realized that she was not full!

——I exercise too much today, and my usual meal is not enough.

In desperation, she could only order another order, and then waited for the meal while scrolling through the post.

...

When she started the live broadcast again, it was already an hour later, and the audience was already waiting desperately.

Xia Yi no longer delays, chooses to log in in the virtual house, and finds the newly appeared [world in painting] from many landing points.

After the familiar login process, he opened his eyes again and appeared in a mountain.

But this mountain is different from the wilderness outside the playground of "Paradise", more precisely, it is different from every mountain in the previous virtual world——

Here...it's so delicate.

From every mountain peak, to every tree, to every cloud and mist in the mountains, it seems to have been carefully designed.

Front, back, left, and right, no matter which direction you look, the scenery is very beautiful.

This gave Xia Yi a wonderful feeling: rather than saying that this is a natural environment, it is more like a giant ecological box that has been carefully cared for.

It's still the kind of ecological box specially designed to hold hermits, legends, and exotic animals.

Xia Yi stood in front of the house, and controlled the camera to turn around in a circle, so that all the audience could see clearly.

Afterwards, while walking towards the Spirit Beast Pool, chatting with the audience:

"No wonder it's called [The World in Painting]. Look, no matter which direction you look, it looks like a landscape painting."

"Yunmeng must have spent a lot of effort in making that painting, as well as this world."

"I want to move my family from the metropolis to here."

...

The Spiritual Beast Pool is not far away, and soon Xia Yi came to the pool. After being there, she discovered some mysteries of this place:

There was always a layer of water mist floating on the pool, and she leaned over to look at it, and the reflection on the surface of the pool covered by the mist was still herself.

But Xiao Kangna, who was pulled over by her to join in the fun, had a silver-white dragon head reflected in the water!

And the reflection of the little white tiger in the pool also changes into a majestic adult posture.

"Then, let's get started." Xia Yi opened the panel and found the "Pokemon" tab.

"The first step is to bind all the spirit beasts to the scroll!"

She took out a brass bell and shook it.

When the "jingle bell" rang, Cheng Huang was summoned, ran a few steps on the grass, and looked around curiously.

Then came the next one.

"Dingling~"

Another Bai Ze appeared, and it rolled on the spot, rolled to the side of Cheng Huang, and crowded together to fight with Cheng Huang.

"Dingling~"

Fuzhu appeared, paced to the side, and began to eat grass.

"Dingling~"

Chilong appeared, it was swimming in the air, and flew to the river not far away.

"Dingling~"

"Dingling~"

...

Xia Yi kept ringing the bell, summoning spirit beasts one after another, and "returning them to the mountains".

——Although the operation panel can be used to select the spirit beasts into the painting with one click, Xia Yi hopes that this process will be more ritualistic, so she chooses to come one by one.

But when the number of her summons reached 10, a new system prompt appeared in front of her eyes:

[There is no upper limit to the number of spirit beasts that can be included in the painting, and there is no capacity limit to observe the picture scroll from reality through the octagonal head ring. ]

[However, when players enter the virtual world in person, there is an upper limit on the number of spiritual beasts that can manifest at the same time. The current upper limit is: 3000. If you need to increase the upper limit, you can purchase an exclusive expansion device: Taoyuan]

[Current number of embodied spirit beasts: 12/3000]

"???"

"Wait a minute!" Xia Yi felt that her brain was not enough, "[Taoyuan]? Another set of hardware!?"

"Co-authoring Bafang and Mirage is not enough, do you want to sell three sets of hardware for one game?"

"Isn't this too h...know how to do business?!"

Thank you [Funny in the Funny] for the 100-point reward.
