988 Chapter 1,009, Arcade
On the afternoon of the following weekend, Hearthstone Tavern.
The group of dwarves did not forge Hearthstone today. They were all gathered behind a strange magic-conducting machine, staring at the picture on it.
“How many times has this been tested?”
!!Joshua stretched his body and stretched his fingers. He made some changes to the parameters of the original crystal inscription inside the magic-conducting machine.
Late Last Night, Josh asked Frost Axe to deliver a piece of original crystal that was as tall as a person. Josh specifically asked for the kind that was not of good quality.
The original crystal that Frost Axe delivered did not disappoint Josh. There were a lot of impurities in it. In frost axe’s words, “This is the garbage that we use to burn coal.”.
Josh spent another night, morning, and morning to turn this piece of ‘coal’into one of Josh’s childhood memories… that was arcade.
At present, Joshua had already started to use inscriptions to develop a large-scale game like World Rift, so it was not difficult to create a pixel arcade game.
With the help of White Bird’s powerful programming assistance, Joshua spent a night to create a fighting game that used to be popular on arcade games in the past… King of Fighters 97.
The style and attire of this game seemed to be out of place in this world. After all, it was a game with a modern background, and Joshua did not make any magical changes.
“I still feel that this person’s hairstyle is very strange. Isn’t he afraid of getting his hair grabbed by others during a fight?”
Hiri was one of the beta testers that accompanied Joshua
From last night when Joshua created the prototype of the game, Hiri began to familiarize himself with another operating system, which was the joystick and buttons on the arcade.
“I think this is very cool?”Josh didn’t know how to describe it.
Hiri was talking about one of the undisputed male leads in the King of Fighters, Iori Yagami.
His outfit seemed to be a little too avant-garde from Hiri’s point of view, but Josh still felt that this was a outfit that could be described as ‘cool’.
“Really?”Hiri was very doubtful.
“Only this character, this outfit only looks good on this character.”
Joshua did not dare to imagine that someone would dress like this in real life. He would probably be beaten up more than ten times while walking on the street.
Some special outfits were only suitable for certain characters.
“The attack problem that appeared just now has been fixed.”
The inscription on Josh’s hand disappeared, and his other hand held the joystick again, entering the selection screen.
Due to time constraints, Josh only made a semi-finished product… only four teams could choose from this semi-finished product, but the general framework of the game had been fixed.
“You’re not allowed to use the red-haired one this time.”
Healy’s hand also rested on the joystick. She had realized that Josh was terrifyingly strong when he used the character called Iori Yagami.
“Not bad,”Josh said as he chose Terry, the cameo character in the legend of the Hungry Wolf.
This character had a BUG in the king of Fighters 97, and that was… an infinite combo.
So, Josh didn’t show any mercy. He directly pushed Leona, who Hiri chose, into the sky, leaving Hiri in the state of leaving the joystick with both hands and waiting to die.
“Ahem… Let’s call it a day for today’s test,”Joshua said to Hiri after the end of the match.
“Again.”
Hiri took out a coin with a special inscription and threw it into the coin.
The battle lasted for almost an hour. Finally, the dwarves, who were mainly composed of frost axes, stood up and said to Joshua, “What is it? Let’s Play!” Only then did Joshua and Hiri give up their seats.
“It looks like we need to make a few more.”
Hiri looked at the scene where the dwarves surrounded the arcade. They were extremely curious about new things, especially the new things created by Joshua.
“Well, let’s go to the mainland next door and build a few. I have a rough idea of the design.”
Joshua ordered a three-person barbecue at the bar counter and brought Hiri all the way to the study on the second floor of the tavern.
Thousand-face was sitting on Joshua’s seat and controlling the Orange Cat.
The Orange Cat had become the third-in-command of the sewing gang. Although it was temporary… it still urged the Carpenters of the sewing gang to make what Joshua wanted.
From thousand-face’s point of view, the Orange Cat looked down at the people of the sewing gang who were cutting up some wood and then polishing it.
“Their craftsmanship is very rough. It’s hard to imagine how they built those buildings on the street.”
Thousand-face made an evaluation of the Carpenters’work. During the time when Josh was making the King of Fighters, thousand-face was in control of the Orange Cat.
She was very professional as she surveyed the surroundings of the city. The buildings in the city had existed for a certain period of time, and the buildings themselves looked very exquisite in thousand-face’s eyes.
However, this group of artisans from the sewing gang made thousand-face very disappointed.
“The gap in civilization.”Joshua subconsciously said a word. “According to the information of the young lady of the sea tribe, Hymina, the gray fog may have spread across this continent a hundred to two hundred years ago. The sea tribe escaped from this continent, but after the other tribes were eroded by the gray fog, the gray fog did not kill them… but it restricted their development.”
“Has the development of magic and industry stagnated?”
Hiri had studied with the purple-robed man for so long, and the purple-robed man had also taught her some of Nolan’s history.
In this world, magic and industrial development could not be separated, just like science on Earth.
But in another continent, magic was forbidden. Coupled with the legitimacy of the laughing mixture, everyone on this continent had wasted their lives in this fake ‘laughing’.
“I can only wait for the Expeditionary Army of the country by the sea to arrive. It’s too dangerous to use this orange cat to investigate the main body of the gray fog,”said Jose.
“Then, you plan to use this time to plan an uprising?”Thousand Faces asked tentatively.
“Uprising? There is a script in my mind that is very suitable for… This city.”Jose looked at the numb people in the picture. “But first, we have to make them clear-headed. These guys’brains are almost corroded by the gray fog.”
“But even if they are clear-headed… no one would be willing to follow a cat to revolt, right?”Hiri whispered, at the same time, a small flag made of illusions appeared in his hand. “But the scene of a cat holding the flag high and shouting revolution… I have to say, it is quite interesting.”
“I have no intention of summoning them.”
Jose stared at the screen in the magic net. Marceau, the leader of the sewing gang, had already walked in to check on the progress of their work.
“The joy mixture is legal in this city. The mayor even encouraged them to use this kind of thing, so the people would not have any thoughts of resistance… but the primary crystal and the power of our faith are absolutely prohibited in this world ruled by the gray fog.”
Jose watched as the workers below gradually covered a piece of primary crystal that was as tall as a person with a wooden board.
“The power of faith can also bring them happiness, but only when they play this kind of game called ‘Arcade’and ‘Little Tyrant’can they absorb some of the power of faith. If… this arcade-playing place becomes popular throughout the city in the future, the city Lord will definitely be unable to sit still and think of ways to completely destroy it. At that time… a kind of emotion called anger will burst out.”
Josh took the little flag that Healy had conjured out of an illusion and said.
“Then we just need to stir it up a little bit more, and then we can wave the flag and shout.”
“You really are a devil,”thousand faces commented after listening to Josh’s plan.
