Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

…

After returning to the accommodation, Yukitake Junna went to take a shower first.

Furukawa Hirose makes dinner.

I had pork and ginger roast for dinner.

In the past, Furukawa Hirose might have eaten away just one cup of noodles, but since he got together with Yukitake Junna, under her supervision, Furukawa Hirose also began to learn to cook.

Make your life more refined.

Although from a nutritional point of view, Furukawa himself believes that the difference between ginger yaki and cup noodles is not very big.

However, since the doctor suggested this, he still followed it.

After the two of them finished eating, Yukitake Junna went to wash the dishes, and Furukawa Hirose finished cleaning up the house and started to turn on the power to prepare for the evening games.

It is really a happy thing to be able to play the games you like with the girl you like.

"Please wait for me." Junna said with a smile.

"Um."

Furukawa Haoze nodded solemnly.

…

Both of them had finished getting ready and changed into comfortable pajamas. Yuzuki Junna sat next to Furukawa Hirose.

"Let's get started, this time the insect master's name sounds a bit scary."

"Um."

Furukawa Haoze nodded. He himself didn't know why Pokeni gave the game such a name.

Just seeing the word "worm", or more like "gu", makes people feel uncomfortable. They always think of the disgusting Matou Zangyan in the previous fate.

However, when he saw the trailer before, Hirosawa Furukawa dispelled his doubts, because the entire poster and promotional video looked particularly beautiful, fresh and natural.

The publicity gives the impression that this game is not a weird horror game, but a fresh and natural feeling that is warm and healing.

No matter how many times he was deceived by pokeni's promotional videos, Furukawa Hirose still chose to believe them.

"Then shall I start?"

"good."

Yukitake Junna hid behind him, sticking out half of her face to look at the TV screen, ready to hide behind Furukawa in case of any emergency.

Furukawa Hirose put in the disc and the game started.

The screen went black, and pokeni's logo appeared on the screen.

Here are the iconic slogans:

【Game is life】

[Here, start an unprecedented journey of life]

A circle of green branches and leaves grows above the font, as if they are made of leaves. Moreover, the picture of the entire game is very clean, and the light effect is very natural.

It seems like you are in nature.

This can also be regarded as pokeni’s style, adapting the opening LOGO according to different game content.

It's quite creative every time, and people will be involved in it unconsciously, thus setting the tone for playing the game.

Obviously, although the name of this game looks a bit scary, it always gives people the feeling that there will be densely packed disgusting bugs crawling out.

In fact, this is not the case. The game uses green as the main color, and also adds many natural elements.

Rather than being a bug, it gives people a feeling of nature.

Even Yukitake Junna, who was hiding behind Furukawa Hirosawa, couldn't help but feel a little confused, "Where are the bugs? I thought the logo at the beginning would be crawling with dense bugs."

"Hmm... I don't know about this. I saw in the previous trailer that the bugs here are different from the bugs we usually talk about.

It is more like a magical creature close to nature.

Actually I can't tell.

You'll find out when you enter the game. "

Hirosawa Furukawa has only seen the PV and related promotional materials. Pokeni did not explain in detail what these insects are. He should put them into the game and let players understand and understand them through his own experience.

…

Light flowed in the screen, and rustling sounds also sounded.

What appears in the main interface is a beautiful picture:

There are clouds and mist on the distant mountain tops.

Below is a verdant forest.

Light poured down from the sky, casting mottled tree shadows on the ground.

The protagonist has short silver hair and is standing under the shade of the tree.

If you observe carefully, you will find that there are some small, strange-looking things emitting golden light moving above his head and under his feet.

Some of them are shaped like leaves, but they have many fine and dense threads similar to human hair on the leaves, extending into the distance.

Others are like small stick insects, only golden ones, standing stunned on the tree trunks.

And at the feet of the hero, some little people with silk-like bodies are crawling.

The main interface is such an animated picture, or a real picture, in which every tiny creature is moving freely according to the planned and set trajectory.

A feeling of vitality came over me.

…

Hirose Furukawa pressed the button and selected [Start Game]

The screen turned black and a voice sounded:

It's the voice of an old woman.

"Reincarnation outside of human beings."

"Inhabited by a group of low-level and strange creatures that are completely different from our common animals and plants."

"Human beings have been in awe of these alien creatures since ancient times."

"Unknowingly, they are collectively referred to as [worms]"

During the narration, antique pictures appeared, with many strange shapes drawn on them, very simple line shapes that looked like twisted little insects.

And when the last sentence was finished, the camera stayed on the large traditional Chinese character [worm].

Zhong is three characters superimposed on each other, which looks a bit scary.

The picture slowly faded into darkness.

A piece of beautiful and joyful music started playing.

The music was played on a guitar, but it was slow, like the sound of falling raindrops.

Watering in the game creates a lush green color.

When the screen lit up again, the mist-shrouded woods appeared in the field of vision of Furukawa Hirosawa and Setsutake Junna.

"so beautiful."

Xuezhu, who was hiding behind Furukawa, sighed.

Just like a little girl, her two big eyes are full of brilliance.

It is indeed beautiful.

pokeni is really great at making game graphics.

What is used here is not just 3D rendering, but a combination of 2D and 3D, just like when I played "Princess Mononoke" back then.

The current "Mushi Master" also has the shadow of Princess Mononoke.

The lens slowly descends from the sky, and the golden color in the picture is getting closer and closer to 3D expression, becoming three-dimensional. If you look carefully, you can see some small regular graphics.

“The insects here are neither animals nor plants, nor are they different from microorganisms and fungi. They are things closer to the original ecology of life.

These things are collectively called "worms".

Their form and existence are both ambiguous. When the worlds of humans and insects overlapped, strange phenomena occurred that surpassed human intelligence. Only then did humans begin to know of their existence.

The so-called life does not exist to threaten dissidents.

However, each exists in its own form - as an "Insect Master" that connects such "Insects" and humans. "

When the lens completely fell to the ground, the color of the sky seemed to have darkened a lot.

On the ground stood a man with silver hair.

His name is Yingu.

He is a [insect master]

…

The character Gingu seems a bit strange, at least it is completely different from the pokeni style in Furukawa Hirosawa's impression. The protagonists of P Club in the past had a bit of Hayao Miyazaki's style in them.

Or it may be the more popular two-dimensional style.

Now Yingu looks like a two-dimensional person, but he is not handsome at all.

The face shape is neither the small round face used by Hayao Miyazaki, nor the oval face, nor the parallelogram face of the hero——

It became angular and looked more like a squashed cockroach head, but it was just a nice-looking human face.

Somewhat square, the eyes look a bit small, which is really different from the big round eyes in the past. The pupil is like a small bean, which looks a bit funny.

Silver short hair is covered, and the bangs in the front cover one left eye, so Yin Gu looks like a mysterious and a little cool man.

He was wearing a white shirt and a dark gray jacket, with a wooden box on his back and a pair of jeans on his lower body.

It looks modern yet has an indescribable sense of simplicity.

People can't help but think:

What era is this guy from?

In fact, the employees of Pokeni themselves don’t know what era Gingu lives in.

Because the copy itself is provided by the president.

The producer still mentioned the name of [Furuhara Chunqiu].

Good guy, this is another work by Furukawa Chunqiu. Just thinking of this name, Furukawa Hirose felt an ominous atmosphere.

…

In fact, Furuhara Chunqiu himself didn’t actually know the era of the story of Mushi Master, because the original work seemed a bit confusing. The protagonist Yin Gu wore modern clothes. However, in the places he had experienced, many people seemed to be living in Same as in ancient times.

This feeling is very strange.

Or perhaps this is the atmosphere and sense of dissonance that the original author Yuki Urushihara wanted to create. It is actually unknown what kind of deep meaning is hidden behind it.

…

The camera returned to the male protagonist, and Furukawa Hirose could then control Yingu to act.

The location he was in now seemed to be on a deep path in the mountains.

There were many strange-looking trees around, and fallen leaves were piled on the ground.

At the same time, there was a golden light not far away.

In such a slightly dim environment, the golden light becomes particularly prominent.

According to the novice guide, Hirose Furukawa learned how to use the joystick to move, and how to use the joystick to turn the direction and change the field of view.

It can be seen from the changes in the operation that although the overall screen of "Insect Master" looks like animation, it is indeed a 3D game.

It can only be said that the [animation rendering] in P Club Legends is getting better and better.

All this is thanks to Qing Zhiyuan. For Qing Zhiyuan, animation rendering is his old profession. When he was developing the engine in MiHoYo, he was mainly responsible for this content.

Different animation renderings can achieve different effects.

The animation rendering used this time is already relatively basic.

If it were not limited by hardware, Qing Zhiyuan believes that the game effect can be better.

Checking the backpack, the protagonist is currently carrying the following items:

A wooden suitcase, a rod of insect repellent smoke, and a kerosene lamp.

and some other small containers.

…

Furukawa Haoze walked forward according to the guidance.

In fact, there is no need for game prompts, because the scene itself has given enough guidance——

I saw a golden line of light on the ground, extending out like a slowly flowing river.

Now Yingu needs to keep walking along it.

And the further forward, the bright river becomes wider and wider, and finally converges into a small pool.

It looks like a circular lake where light converges.

The atmosphere of the whole scene is done quite well, giving people a magical feeling in the tranquility.

And around this bright spring, there were people sitting in a circle wearing white hats and their bodies covered in wide white robes.

After greeting them one by one and having a conversation, Furukawa Hirose finally understood——

It turns out that this bright river is called the Vein of Light.

What gathers in the light veins is the wine of light.

Light wine, that is, the source of life that only insects can drink, is the embodiment of the essence of nature. This light wine can revive all things, make mountains and fields fertile, and bring vitality to the world.

But if humans drink it, they will turn into strange creatures, which are closer to so-called [insects]

Insects are strange creatures that are closer to the origin of life.

…

So far, Furukawa Hao Ze has probably only got so much information.

But now he is more curious about insects and light wine.

The NPC asked Yingu to use a wine bottle to fill some light wine from the light veins. This kind of thing is said to be useful in the future.

It can attract [insects] and can also be used as bait to catch them.

But as a human or insect master, the best way is not to interfere with [insects]

This powerful force will only be used when necessary.

The so-called insect repellent cigarette has the opposite effect. This thing looks like an ordinary cigarette smoked by humans. After lighting the insect repellent cigarette, those so-called [insects] will not come close.

One is used to attract, the other is used to drive away.

It probably has these two functions.

In fact, in the game "Insect Master", you can master light wine, insect repellent smoke and methods of catching insects, which is enough.

An old insect master dropped two drops of light wine in Yingu's empty wine bottle, and then asked him to put it on the ground.

On the grass, there was obviously only a little light in the bottle of wine, and the golden light swayed and slowly overflowed.

I don’t know why, but the wine bottle was filled all of a sudden.

Furukawa Hirose and Setsutake Junna couldn't help but be surprised when they saw this.

Wow……

Isn't this amazing?

…

After the novice teaching ended, Furukawa Hirose walked out of the forest.

The forest is actually not that big, it's called the Insect Forest.

When he turned around again, the insect masters who were celebrating in the same place had disappeared without a trace.

Moreover, the light vein that was flowing with light wine gradually dimmed and disappeared.

According to the information I learned before, the place where the light pulse flows also has a certain time limit. I don’t know when I will see such a scene next time.

After walking out, he looked forward and couldn't help but sigh:

"Wow, is this the so-called open world?!"

He saw where he was standing, a high mountain, with a vaguely visible village in the distance, and many pedestrians could be seen as the road extended out.

When I look to the other side, I see the towering mountains in the distance...

It gives people the illusion of being in a real animated world.

Furukawa Haoze opened the small map and took a look, and couldn't help being shocked.

This is really a big world!

The position where he is standing is equivalent to a small part of the entire world, roughly similar to a parking lot in Tokyo. There are no restrictions on you in the game. Players can go anywhere they want.

This is the first time Furukawa Hirose has seen such a situation.

To be honest, I'm still a little panicked.

That feeling of not being able to control destiny, because the whole world is full of unknowns, and I don't know what to do next.

However, the road is in the face.

If you're not sure where to go first, just move forward.

Furukawa Haoze vaguely saw a village in the distance.

…

This feeling is really wonderful. It seems that you have really entered the world of a insect master and become a person named Yin Gu. After your own journey through mountains and rivers, you can walk in this world according to your own will and wishes. , no one will interfere with you, and you don’t know where you are going next moment.

This feeling is too real.

After walking forward for a while, there was indeed a path surrounded by lush green plants.

And the color is particularly bright green, giving people a fresh and aerobic feeling.

The name of this place appeared on the screen:

Gohakuzo Town.

After walking forward for a while, I saw a yellow figure on the treetops from a distance.

Probably a human figure.

But when Furukawa Haoze approached, the thing suddenly jumped out from the treetops and disappeared in an instant.

"I seemed to have seen something just now."

"Could it be a ghost or something?" Yukitake Junna hugged Furukawa Hirose's arm tightly.

The sunlight gradually became softer, the grass and trees took root, and the light and shadow changed with Yin Gu's footsteps.

It was at this moment that Furukawa Haoze suddenly realized——

It turns out that time in this game is constantly passing.

You can even see the time displayed in the small panel in the upper left corner of the game.

For example, now it says January 1st: 4:50 am.

The sun was emerging from the top of the mountain, and the light was shining down from a distance.

"Isn't it amazing?"

Hirokawa Furukawa sighed, this was the first time he felt the change of time in a game.

…

Just after walking a certain distance, I saw a house.

A boy was chasing something with a net, shouting as he chased, "Don't run around!"

The thing he was chasing jumped over, and now Furukawa Hirosawa and Setsutake Junna could see clearly——

It turns out to be the character for bird.

It was really written with a brush and ink, and it was still a Chinese character.

It's just that the Chinese character seems to have vitality, fluttering its wings and flying up.

Can words fly?

This kind of thing is really unheard of.

But generally speaking, the painting style of "The Insect Master" itself gives people the illusion of walking in an ink painting.

Now it seems like flying kanji are no big deal.

When the text came closer, a big X button appeared on the screen, saying "Grab"

In the Mushi Master game, many interactions with objects and characters are based on actual interactive objects. This design is the same as Ocarina of Time released by Rentendo.

The program logic consists of a lot of triggers. If this happens, what actions will be called, what animations and text will be triggered, etc.

So when the text flew up, a grab button appeared near the insect master Gingu.

It's a pity that Furukawa Hirose didn't react at the first time.

After the word "bird" flew a certain distance, he controlled Yin Gu to run.

Finally caught the word bird.

Then this thing turned into a pool of ink in Yin Gu's hands.

"Ink?" Yingu let out a light sigh.

The boy with the net bag from before also ran over panting.

He looked at the actor in confusion and asked, "Can you see it?"

"Yes, I can see it clearly." Yin Gu replied.

…

After some conversation, Furukawa Hao Ze finally learned that this boy was called Gobazo Mori Ra, and he had a magical ability since he was born.

Everything he writes or draws with his left hand becomes alive.

Just like the word "bird" just now, it flew out as soon as I finished writing it.

Fortunately, Yin Gu caught him, otherwise he wouldn't have known where he would have flown.

"A long time ago, my grandmother told me not to use this ability of mine.

Grandmother said that it is beyond human ability to create new creatures.

Doing so will incur the wrath of the gods.

So I was forbidden to draw with my left hand. "

However, there is nothing wrong with using your right hand.

Wubai Zangsenluo said with a smile.

It's just that my right hand was injured before, so I just used my left hand to paint.

At this point, Furukawa Hirosawa seems to be able to feel the power of Mushishi's game a little bit, and it feels like he is guiding you to explore and discover magical things.

Take Wubai Zangsenluo's left hand as an example, it's more like a myth and legend.

"It's really magical." Seizhu Junna next to her exclaimed with a smile.

She looked down at her right hand, "It would be great if I had this power."

"Huh?" Furukawa Haoze was stunned for a moment, then turned around, "Do you also want to create new creatures?"

"No," Yukitake Junna smiled, "I just want to use this ability to cure patients. If it can create life, can it also save life?"

…

…
