Chapter 154: The Malicious Intent of the Game Maker

There are many games in the Mario series, and after decades of updating, Mario has also evolved from a pixel game to a 3D game that can keep up with the game trend.

Harvey's impression of Mario is stuck in the pixel version of Mario as a child, followed by the 3D Mario before the time travel, and he will also watch some videos of Mario games that are extremely difficult for players, such as the so-called "Cat Version of Mario", which is not made by Nintendo, so it is not afraid to add a level design full of the malicious intent of the game producer, which is also the fundamental difficulty of this game.

Regardless of the player's skill level, in this game, players will suddenly encounter the floor collapse and fall to their deaths even when they are simply walking, and when they are ready to jump over a trench, they are blocked by invisible obstacles so that they fall into the trench and die, as if it is designed to prevent players from clearing the level or make players crazy, players need to guess every game movement with the greatest malice, and the only way to clear the level is to use the number of deaths to smash the past.

Harvey underestimated the game level of the goblins, and the gem goblins were good to say, so far there are very few ordinary versions of Mario games made by Harvey, and the fantasy goblins are all game geniuses, but the first contact with the game was the same day that Harvey gave the ordinary version of Mario prepared by the gem fairies.

Now, Harvey doesn't plan to slow down the fantasy goblin strategy games with difficulty, it's time for them to experience malice beyond Hidetaka Miyazaki.

"Goblins don't like to think logically, so there's no need to add elements that require logical thinking, just add malicious design for the fun of the game."

"A level player has only ten lives, and if they have not cleared the level after consuming the number of deaths, they will retreat to the previous level."

"Mob enhancement, an ordinary mob needs to attack more than three times before dying, and at the same time, mobs can send out barrage-type long-range attacks."

"There's still a lot of room for expansion in ultra-high-quality illusion crystals! It can be used to increase the variety of monsters, items, and game traps. ”

"Joining a chain of levels, players need to pass through complex operations with extremely high difficulty to pass, adding boss levels and rewards, progressing to increase the challenge of the game."

With the reference of the memory of "Cat Version of Mario", Harvey made "Difficulty Enhanced Version of Mario" in one night, from the game content to the game mechanics have been reset, and only the gameplay is similar to Mario, because there is no need to consider copyright issues, and the character image still maintains Mario's classic image.

Harvey's difficulty rating for this game is that ordinary people can only hold back in the first level after playing all day, continuing the design idea of "Mario for Cats", and making this game just to make players completely crazy!

······

The next day, Harvey found the [Elf's Automaton Factory] again, the humanoid structure he brought back from Norton had been repaired by the Fantasy Elf, Harvey gave the "Difficulty Enhanced Mario" to the Fantasy Elf with a smile on his face, and he picked up the humanoid construct and went back to the alchemy workshop, although it was repaired, the armor looked similar to when it was not repaired, and there was no sign of activity.

The silver-black constructed armor was placed on the enchantment bench by Harvey, who found a device dedicated to firmly enchanting items for analysis.

The information analyzed by the instrument is projected in astral text to Harvey's eyes, and the three-dimensional astrological font can express more complete information.

"All the materials have been restored, the damaged magic array has also been restored, and the core crystal is not abnormal, why can't it be moved?" Harvey frowned and was puzzled, and after fiddling for a while, he went to the [Endless Library] to find out all the magic books and information crystals that recorded the constructed creatures, and consulted them one by one, and after a while, Harvey finally found the answer.

"The humanoid construct should be restored to the time when it was first made, and the advanced construct must be given intelligence by the creator using the third-order spell [Constructing Enlightenment]."

"The third-order spell [Constructing Enlightenment], when cast, the arm will wrap a vine-like light and connect with the core of the humanoid constructed creature, and the brilliance will be infused into the core crystal of the constructed creature to give it intelligence, and the constructed creature that receives the constructing enlightenment will obey the caster. (This spell does not work on temporary constructed creatures, such as substances affected by activation.) )”

Harvey's spirit read the contents of the information crystal and fell into deep thought: "The third-order spell is barely used by himself now, the problem is that the third-order spell already belongs to the category of high-level spells, and it is generally not disclosed to the public. ”

"It's still a question of whether there is a [Constructing Enlightenment] in the Kingdom of Baron, and the Magic Library of the Royal Spellcasters Guild doesn't have a book classification on the unpopular field of Constructing."

"That's all left of the Magic Association..."

Harvey was not willing to give up, so he thought about finding an information crystal and writing a letter to Lottie, the vice president of the Magic Society, in astral letters, leaving the Mage's Tower and chanting a few incantations in his bedroom.

"Meow~"

After waiting for a while, Harvey heard the sound of a cat barking from the room, and a black cat with shiny hair came out of the shadow of the room, wagged its tail and sat down in front of Harvey, and the royal blue cat eyes stared at Harvey motionless.

Harvey's spell is a second-order universal spell [summoning messenger], which is one of the most commonly used spells by magicians, summoning a fixed messenger to convey information, and after staying in the Magic Association for a while, Harvey knows the identity of the black cat in front of him, and is a universal messenger for members of the Magic Association, and it is also rented to the Royal Spellcasters Association for use at a price of one thousand balun gold coins per year.

"Cat, it's a good idea to have one as a pet." Harvey squatted down with a smile on his face, picked up the black cat and stroked it for a while, although the soft touch of the fur was not as good as Lily's hair.

Harvey fetched some dried fish from Lily's special snack cabinet and fed it, and the black cat turned his head uninterested, lying on Harvey's arms and enjoying the petting.

Harvey didn't force it, and when he satisfied the idea of petting the cat, he took off a small cylinder tied to its tail and put the information crystal in, and the small cylinder automatically popped out of the metal frame to fix the information crystal.

"Meow meow~" The black cat called a few times to make sure that Harvey had no other instructions, and bit the small cylinder with his mouth and stepped into the shadows, and after a while, the pure black body completely melted into the darkness and disappeared.

Harvey returned to the alchemy workshop and continued to toss the unintelligent humanoid construct, touching its breastplate with his right hand to activate the magic circle inscribed on the breastplate, which automatically deformed and opened, revealing a mechanical structure mixed with flesh and blood inside.

The mechanical construct body is the oldest construction technology, but it has many fatal flaws, such as the largest joint flexibility problem, even if some high-grade alloys are used, it is very easy to age the metal due to overuse, in order to make up for this kind of defects, a construction scholar proposed the concept of flesh and blood construction, combining the advantages of biology and machinery to create a half-mechanical and half-flesh construction creature.

"This thing shouldn't be as rampage as the first machine." Harvey observed the changes in the humanoid construct while carefully taking out the core crystal, which is the most important part of the construction life, both the brain and the heart that provides power, and the construction enlightenment technique is a spell developed for the core crystal.

Harvey wanted to find common ground with the computer system from this core crystal, and try to reverse-engineer the development of a better "intelligent system".
