To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 437: Chapter 261 “Sweet Cabin” (Part 2)_2

After finishing his statement, he ignored the ashen-faced man opposite him, sat down, and continued with his own work.

The sidelined junior leader clenched his jaws and fists, but couldn’t utter a word.

He wanted to explode, but he knew he had no right to in this matter. After a few dozen seconds of hesitation, he further lost his rationale and opportunity to speak, leaving him with no choice but to return to his seat, face still ashen.

Seeing the junior leader’s unfriendly expression, Wu Wei’s colleague cautiously gave him a thumbs up and then said, “Bro Wu’s dominating! But what if that bastard makes things difficult for you?”

“What can he do to me?” Wu Wei countered.

The colleague was momentarily startled, then had an epiphany.

The guy can’t touch us!

Still, they were somewhat uneasy, but after seeing that nothing happened to Wu Wei in the following days, they realized the junior leader they had feared was actually a paper tiger, unable even to retaliate against Wu Wei.

Power comes from benefits and penalties, but the junior leader had no benefits to offer, and no means of imposing penalties. The veil was lifted at that moment, revealing his hollow strength.

Although the junior leader could still strut around for a while, as his true nature was gradually exposed, his arrogance wouldn’t last for long.

Afterward, Wu Wei kept diligently doing his own thing and secretly vowed to himself that he must buy a gaming pod for his home.

But when he learned that the cost price was 2.4 million, he burst into tears and then started studying methods to win the lottery.

As the players continued their testing and research, Kirin Studio had already gathered more information and began to proceed with the next step of optimization.

Fang Cheng kept on improving the realism simulation of the gaming pod and decided to set a standard.

The initial realism simulation of the gaming pod was only 15%, but this figure was already quite impressive.

After all, the human brain is extraordinary; it automatically fills in many details during dreams, and 15% already offered a high level of realism.

Even with just 15%, many players would enter a “somnambulation” state after the game, unable to differentiate between reality and dreams for some time.

Gao Tianyun had experience, so he could initially handle a 30% realism simulation, but if ordinary players started that high right away, they might become hopelessly addicted to virtual reality.

Therefore, they needed to establish an assessment mechanism in the game so that players could unlock higher levels of realism simulation after passing the assessment, eventually capping at 30%.

This mechanism could just be turned into a game, allowing players to familiarize themselves with virtual reality while enjoying the gameplay, truly an educational fun.

Upon this realization, Fang Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

Lately, he’s been feeling more and more like a gamer.

Whenever he encountered a situation, his first instinct was to convert it into a game, a process that had become smooth and natural for him, showing some signs of being “Delighted to Hear about the T.”

Given time, even achieving enlightenment wasn’t impossible.

One could say that if there were no rivals on the path, he might have already achieved enlightenment and ascended.

Alas, reality still existed…

He sighed and continued pondering what scenario to use for the assessment.

Observing the data previously obtained, he noticed that the reason players couldn’t handle a higher degree of realism was that the existing level was intoxicating enough.

That is to say, if they could prove, through their own willpower, that they have the ability to return to reality, then they should be able to unlock higher degrees of realism simulation.

After giving it some thought, Fang Cheng realized that this was essentially the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Desire is a normal part of the human body, but some people indulge themselves too much in hedonism, which ultimately does more harm than good.

Only by controlling the mind and subduing desire with willpower can one attain true freedom and carefreeness.

He refined the idea in his mind and found that he needed a team to help him realize this process.

They needed to be calm and objective, able to devise precise strategies and test players, while continually evolving and learning to dynamically assess whether players’ willpower met the standard.

Moreover, they needed to owe him a debt of karma, so that by working for him, they could repay it and prevent the debt from growing so large that the interest becomes insurmountable.

After much thought, Fang Cheng realized there was indeed one race that was the perfect embodiment of the working class.

It was you guys, the Iron Guards!

When Fang Cheng found Gong Gong and explained his plan, Gong Gong was so astonished that he was at a loss for words, and then tears welled up in his eyes.

“Is it really possible? Oh, foster father! I’ve wanted to cling to your strong legs for so long! Let me tell you, our family will never be a servile slave of three surnames. Whatever you tell me to do, I’ll do it.”

“Don’t randomly acknowledge fathers,” Fang Cheng frowned. “You can’t bear the karma that comes with it.”

“What karma can’t I bear! We must speak scientifically,” Gong Gong leaned in and nudged Fang Cheng, “Foster father, I want to explore the universe with animals and plants soon, please make it happen for me.”

“I told you, you can’t bear it.”

Gong Gong wanted to say more but then couldn’t help but stop laughing.

She felt the factory within the Steel Fortress start to crumble rapidly, with unknown errors spreading. Workshops collapsed like dominoes, leaving her completely stunned.

Turning her head, she asked Fang Cheng in shock, “Is it that serious?”

“Yes.”

“I’m sorry, boss. I was wrong.”

The collapse of the factory stopped instantly, so quickly that it left Gong Gong even more confused.

“Boss, what exactly is your background, that even calling you by the wrong title can cause such a big problem?”

“It’s beyond your imagination. An Immortal is involved in too much karma. It doesn’t matter to me, but if you want to cozy up, you need to think it through.”

“Then why is calling you ‘boss’ okay?”

“It’s a simple exchange of equals, the specifics are quite complex, you don’t need to understand too much. Just carry out my plan.”

Fang Cheng touched Gong Gong’s forehead, and she received a flood of information that made her instantly understand his plan.

Realizing what was to be done, Gong Gong nodded in agreement, indicating the task was doable and manageable.

Soon, Gong Gong began cooperating with Fang Cheng to construct the site he envisioned.

One by one, independent rooms were built, and one by one, individual mechanical bodies were produced by the factory and transported into the separate rooms.@@novelbin@@

These independent rooms were connected to the factory, which would quickly produce whatever the players inside required and then deliver it to them.

Behind each mechanical body was an electronic Little Bear, and behind a group of electronic Little Bears were the Iron Guards, evaluating the players from all angles.

The only condition to pass the assessment was to leave the room by one’s own will, proving that they could withstand the test.

It wasn’t a simple task, as the mission to leave the room would be hidden, and the electronic Little Bears, as well as the Iron Guards, would do their utmost to interfere with the players, tempting them to stay.

To further motivate the Iron Guards, Fang Cheng and Gong Gong introduced a reward mechanism, the Point System.

Now marked as criminals, most of the Iron Guards had been dismantled, their main chips stored inside the bodies of the electronic Little Bears.

However, as long as players remained in their respective rooms, the Iron Guards could accumulate points over time.

Points could be used to temporarily regain their former bodies or to earn some free time. When enough points were collected, they could even be used to secure their freedom, transitioning from prisoners to citizens.

Upon learning of this, over a thousand Iron Guards were instantly raring to go, determined to resist the players to the end!

After several days of intense preparation, the new virtual reality game, “Sweet Cabin,” was finally launched.

The game could only be played in gaming pods, with an initial realism level of 15%, increasing to 18% after passing the tests.

Considering the players’ love for finding Easter eggs, Fang Cheng did not announce that it was an assessment game. Instead, he hid all objectives and rewards.

You like Easter eggs, don’t you? Well, this time there’s a real one.
