…………

February 14, Valentine's Day.

Because it coincides with the Spring Festival holiday, this Valentine's Day did not cause too much topic in China.

Meng Du, an elderly civil servant in the demon capital who accompanied his relatives with his parents for a day, dragged his body and mind tired from being bombarded by his relatives' persuasion to marry and returned home.

Thinking that today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year or Valentine's Day, he self-deprecatingly posted a selfie of his right hand on Weibo.

"See if my wife is beautiful?"

Then, he turned on the computer and logged in to station B, ready to take a look at the new January that he was still chasing, and relax.

Raising his eyes and looking at the upper right corner of the screen, Meng Du found that in the user dynamics column, a bright red number "6" appeared.

"It's Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day, and so many people update their videos, these UP masters are really dedicated. ”

Meng Du clicked on the dynamic column and took a look, and found that he was concerned about a B station UP master "Wang Xiaoju who is afraid of defeat and fire", and there was also an update.

The video he released is called "Wang Xiaoju teaches you to be a farmer 01".

Wang Xiaoju is also a well-known UP master of station B, and often introduces some unpopular games on the steam platform, with a relaxed and funny style, and Meng Du likes to watch his videos very much.

So Meng Du clicked on this video that had been released for six hours.

"Okay, dear audience and friends, I'm Wang Xiaoju. Today I want to bring you a new game, called "Oriental Fantasy Story" in Chinese. This is a new type of game with farm management simulation take-out combat RPG and cultivation elements.,The production company hasn't heard of it.,It seems to be from Toei.。 However, the first release has a Chinese version, which is still very good. The game is divided into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter, and if you play it for a year, it will take at least 30 hours or more. So I opened a huge pit, an epic crater......"

With Wang Xiaoju's introduction, accompanied by the melodious pastoral BGM, the game began to appear on the interface.

Meng Du in front of the computer was immediately attracted: "Let's watch it after the new one.,This game is quite interesting.。 ”

Wang Xiaoju clicked on the "New Game" option and came to the character creation page.

"A small-scale indie game has such a detailed character creation system?" Meng Du was surprised. He has been exposed to a lot of Japanese-style indie games before, including horror, adventure, puzzle, and romance, but without exception, the gameplay is insufficient, and it is more of an operational e-novel than a game.

As soon as he came into contact with "Oriental Gensokyo Story", Mendu's concept of Japanese indie games was completely subverted.

At this time, Wang Xiaoju continued to explain in the video.

"There is a seemingly simple but ingenious paper doll system in the game. Let's pinch the human ...... first."

As soon as Wang Xiaoju's words came out, it immediately caused a large barrage of complaints.

"Pinch the mad demon king Xiaoju. ”

"It's too late, Xiaoju is going to pinch people again!"

"Oh my God, let me find a pair of sunglasses so I don't get blinded. ”

"Xiaoju pinched someone, mom save me!"

"I don't know what kind of strange species will come out?"

"Xiao Ju, stop it, you don't know how many games you've ruined by pinching your face!"

"Fortunately, this is a pixel art game, not a 3D masterpiece with a higher degree of realism, Xiaoju, you can't hurt me!"

In a barrage, Wang Xiaoju continued to create characters.

“…… Well, in order to see our eye-catching protagonist at a glance in the crowd, the hair color is good with purple. The protagonist's name is Wang Xiaoju, and the ranch is a pasture in heaven and earth, and his favorite thing...... It's just shit. That's it, let's get the game started. ”

After a black screen, the game officially begins.

"The game has an opening animation, a rough story, which is that our protagonist travels through and strays into a world called Oriental Gensokyo. The inhabitants of this Gensokyo are all mythical and legendary monsters, all of whom are strange and not human. To save time, we won't play it. ”

Meng Du is a big fan of Qin and Han, and he has long heard of the game "Oriental Gensokyo Story", and the background is also familiar. It's just that he hasn't had time to play and doesn't know what the game is about. At this time, Wang Xiaoju began to introduce the game UI and basic operations, and he also watched it with relish.

"Going into the game, we have some basic farming tools. Axes, hoes, scythes, and water bottles are all placed in the inventory and are visible at a glance. There are also 15 radish seeds on the floor that were given at the beginning. ”

After some explanation, Wang Xiaoju manipulated the game character to leave the room.

The character who acts as the player's teaching guide, Hakuri Reimu, is waiting for the player right outside the door.

As soon as Miss Shrine Maiden of Gensokyo appeared, her delicate standing painting and the dubbing of Nana Mizuki immediately caused a big commotion.

"Wow, this painting is the first time I've seen it, it's amazing!"

"This girl is so beautiful. ”

"Reimu is my wife, don't rob it!"

"The dubbing is also very cute, is it a rookie voice actor?"

"I'm stunned that an indie game can do full voice!"

Although Meng Du has never played "Oriental Fantasy Mansion", as a true fan of Qin and Han, he knows this game very well. He immediately sent a barrage to popularize science.

"The producer and character of this game is named Qin Han, a Chinese cartoonist of Dongying origin, known for his epoch-making excellent painting style. The voice actor who dubbed Hakurei Reimu, named Nana Mizuki, debuted last year with October instant noodles and "Monday's Plumpness", both appearance and strength, and is a high-profile newcomer in the voice actor industry!

After sending a long barrage, Wang Xiaoju in the video was explaining while controlling the characters to walk back and forth on the farm.

"This is our farm. At first, it was very messy, and you needed to use tools to clear the weeds, stones, and trees, and then plant the land. I had spent 10 minutes before and was thoroughly familiar with the game. So this series of videos, I'll always do it as a semi-guide......"

Then, another barrage hit.

"Wow, there is one of Xiao Ju's famous quotes: I have spent ten minutes and become thoroughly familiar with this game. ”

"Does this game have combat? Expect Ju to die a few times, and then send out a 'garbage game' resentment. ”
