On the question of what game to develop first for the "Completely Ruined Miè" project, there was a big difference of opinion between Zhao Nuo and the planning team.

In Zhao Nuo's view, we should continue to make a classical-themed action game to open up the domestic market. The guys in the planning team agreed that they should make a sci-fi style game to become famous overseas.

While the program team was still improving the engine, the controversy between the two sides had not subsided. But......

That problem, on the first Wednesday of November, was finally put to an end:

"Boss, have you really decided? I think it's better to develop a sci-fi action game. Wang Zhihao pushed his glasses.

"I listen to Zhao Nuo, listen to Zhao Nuo." Xia Xiaoling said it twice in a row.

Although her voice was still as gentle as usual, everyone present could tell that the girl's attitude was very resolute.

Seeing that Xia Xiaoling had decided, several people in the planning team were as spiritless as frosted eggplants, and left Xia Xiaoling's office dejectedly and went back to their own office.

"Ha, thanks." Zhao Nuo, who had been sitting on the sofa next to him, thanked the girl.

"It's okay, I trust you, uh-huh."

As soon as the people in the planning team left, Xia Xiaoling immediately regained her usual appearance, stood in front of Zhao Nuo with brisk steps, and looked down at him "condescendingly".

"Zhao Nuo, you want to test the new engine, right?" She said.

"Of course." Zhao Nuo nodded immediately.

――With the addition of the producer himself, a breakthrough was soon made in improving the game engine. The old engine is much better than before.

And, in addition to the destructive effect of the building. Ground and vista destruction effects are also starting to be added. The originally decent engine finally began to develop in the direction that Zhao Nuo expected.

Sitting in front of Xia Xiaoling's computer, Zhao Nuo found that the background of this guy's desktop turned out to be a photo of her and herself.

――The background of the photo is pitch black, and Xia Xiaoling, who is standing on the left, makes a cliché V-shaped gesture to the camera. And he was flushed, holding the girl's shoulder and smiling happily, looking extremely stupid.

"Damn, when did you secretly take pictures?" Seeing this speechless photo, Zhao Nuo immediately asked.

"When you were drunk at the last meal, did you forget?" Xia Xiaoling tilted her head suspiciously.

"I wasn't conscious when I was drunk."

Zhao Nuo helplessly supported his forehead. Then he continued: "Before the test, can you please change the desktop background?" ”

"Ah, yes, yes." Xia Xiaoling held the mouse and clicked on the document, and selected another photo to set as the desktop background.

looked at himself on the screen, who was obviously drinking too much, and was running with Xia Xiaoling in the posture of "princess hug". Zhao Nuo was stunned for two seconds. Calmly make your own requests:

"Let's go back to what I just had, thank you."

- It was true that he had drunk and made a mistake, and he swore that he would never drink again, except for special cases such as playing the highest difficulty of "The Executioner".

After Xia Xiaoling changed back to the desktop background, Zhao Nuo moved the mouse to the icon named "test1" in the lower right corner and asked, "This is the beta version?" ”

"Well, this is a sample that I made with the program team, and I tested it once last night." Xia Xiaoling's voice was very cheerful.

Click on the test text of the engine. The background map from "Tales of the Great Three Kingdoms War" still appears, and unlike the last rudimentary scene with only the palace and some buildings, this time the scene includes a blue sky. and the tree-covered "Dingjun Mountain" in the distance.

However, the characters used this time are not quite the same.

Unlike the last time Guan Yu's template was directly moved, the character that can be used in this test text is a sturdy man wearing red heavy armor and domineering and exposed.

The man's face was sharp and resolute, and he held a giant blade with dragon patterns. The muscles of the whole body are angry, and at first glance he is a heroic figure.

See models of characters that haven't been on the screen before. Zhao Nuo asked, "Who is this?" ”

"This is a new character Xiang Yu who is going to be added to the "Legend of the War of the Three Kingdoms" expansion, and it's not ready yet. Just take it to the test together. Xia Xiaoling replied quickly.

"Xiang Yu doesn't seem to use a knife."

Zhao Nuo always felt that the role in front of him was different from the "Overlord of Western Chu" in his cognition, but there was no point in caring about such an inconsequential issue, and testing the engine was the right thing.

Since it is directly borrowed from the interface of "The Legend of the War of the Three Kingdoms", this time the test procedure still uses the old key, Zhao Nuokong took a few steps forward with Xiang Yu, and then tried to press the H key for light attack.

"Boom!"

I saw Xiang Yu swing the big knife in his hand vigorously, and the blade of the knife brought out a golden light in the air, and at the same time emitted an extremely dangerous buzzing sound. This light attack actually played the effect that most of the other generals could only hit with heavy blows.

"Wouldn't it upset the balance to include such a character?" Zhao Nuo asked.

- Although "The Legend of the War of the Three Kingdoms" is a pure single-player game that cannot be fought against each other, and there is no need to worry too much about balance, if the difference between the strengths and weaknesses of different characters is too large, it will still lead some of the well-designed characters to be "thrown into the cold palace".

At present, according to the feedback of players, there are very few people who like to use Dong Zhuo, Chen Gong and Fa Zheng, and if such a powerful new character is added, those few old characters that are rarely used by people will probably be really completely unpopular.

"It's okay, as long as it's fun." Xia Xiaoling said.

Although there are disagreements about her statement, the focus is not on this now, and Zhao Nuo did not continue to waste time on this issue.

"What skills do you have? I'll try it first. He asked.

"Skills other than taps have a destructive effect, well, that's it." Xia Xiaoling replied.

"Okay."

Pressing the J button in "The Legend of the War of the Three Kingdoms", Xiang Yu's eyes widened angrily, the muscles of his whole body suddenly tensed, and he suddenly raised his knife and plunged into the ground covered with square bricks in front of him. Make a "click" sound. And then......

"Woo-ah-ah!"

The Overlord of Western Chu let out a roar of rage, and a dragon pattern in the blade of the sword rose to the sky and soared into the sky, and the remaining undispersed qi erupted from below, leaving a spiderweb-like crack mark on the ground.

Although he knew that the point was wrong, Zhao Nuo couldn't help but complain:

"I'll go. This heavy attack is more powerful than the special move of ordinary generals. ”

"Don't worry about the details, what do you think?" Xia Xiaoling asked.

As he spoke, Xiang Yu, who saw that the attack was over, had already pulled out his big knife and raised it in front of him, but the knife marks and cracks created by the blow under his feet just now had not disappeared, and they were still on the ground.

"It's not bad, it's very feeling." Zhao Nuo told the truth.

This kind of large skill is required. It's a feeling of domineering and refreshing. Seeing that the skill can actually cause damage to the ground, players will naturally get a more refreshing game experience.

The more popular action games in recent years, even if they have destructible scenes, most of them are unable to destroy the ground.

Although the effect is still a little rudimentary, it is now Xia Xiaoling's game engine. But it has achieved the effect of ground destruction, which can undoubtedly be regarded as a breakthrough.

However, even if he is very satisfied with the effect of ground destruction, Zhao Nuo has another question to ask:

"This destruction isn't infinite, is it? In that case, a regular computer would not be able to handle it. ”

Adding such a destructive effect to the scene will increase the amount of CPU computation, and if there are too many permanent destructive effects at the same time, it will definitely cause the game to become stuck, and may even cause it to crash.

"Of course not. When a certain amount is reached, the previous destructive effect will disappear. Xia Xiaoling smiled and shook her head.

"Oh, that's good."

Zhao Nuo said and manipulated Xiang Yu to take two steps forward. Press the Heavy Attack button again to unleash the same "Qi Attack" as before, creating another crack on the ground.

Stepping back and observing, the destructive effect of these two attacks was exactly the same, but this was also completely unexpected by Zhao Nuo - the effect of each attack was different, and it sounded beautiful. But no game has been able to do that yet.

Now that the ground destruction effect has been tested, the next step is to test. It's even more gorgeous than this destruction...... Tear the sky apart.

A few more attacks on the ground to accumulate the special slot, and when the special move can finally be unleashed. Xiang Yu, who was controlled by Zhao Nuo, had already stood in front of the main entrance of the palace hall.

If it was a real king, he would probably go into the palace and sit on the throne to announce the world, but now this guy in the game has become a brutal reckless man under the manipulation of Zhao Nuo.

What he has to do now is to completely destroy this palace!

Xiang Yu held the hilt of the knife with both hands at the same time, but instead of holding the dragon pattern broadsword high as Zhao Nuo thought, he pressed the blade down, so that the extremely sharp blade was close to the ground.

Then, a golden light suddenly erupted around the body of the Western Chu Overlord, shrouding the body with a chaotic flow of light, like a small tornado.

When the light that lingered around him began to gather on the blade, Xiang Yu's broadsword suddenly raised and swung backwards at an incredible speed that was impossible to see!

"Boom!"

A large explosion appeared in the air in front of the Overlord's body, and an ever-expanding fan-shaped golden light moved forward, splitting the gorgeous but empty palace in two.

But that's not the end of the killing.

Under Zhao Nuo's surprised gaze, the golden "blade" expanded to the limit, connecting with the blue sky, and then-

The light tore through the sky.

At the same time as the almost brutal tearing effect sounded, the golden blade sliced through the blue "paper" hanging high above the world, revealing the terrifying pitch-black space below.

Then, the originally clear sky suddenly became cloudy and rained heavily.

Even "Heaven" whimpered under the blow of the overlord.

The man who tore through the sky picked up the dragon-patterned broadsword that fell behind him, and the tall figure stood motionless in the torrential rain, looking up at the sky like a silent god.

……

"How? The special effects I designed look good, right? Xia Xiaoling pushed Zhao Nuo's shoulder.

However, Zhao Nuo did not answer her question, and just continued to stare at the scene on the screen in silence, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

- He had forgotten what he was going to do. What kind of thing as a test engine is all left behind at this moment.

Over the years, I have dabbled in countless games, and I have also encountered many amazing works. However, in today's beta program, which isn't even a game, he encounters something he's never encountered before.

I have forgotten when it began, it seems that when he was still playing the red and white machine game, he once fantasized that he could one day tear through the sky with one blow and become a real "god of war".

Later, after reading a book "100,000 Whys. After Nature", when he was still in elementary school, he realized that his ideal was simply naïve and ridiculous, so he changed his life ideal to "play games to death". But......

That innocent dream has not disappeared.

In the occasional dreams that appeared later, he could still see the scenes he had fantasized about countless times in his childhood:

In the dream, he was dressed in black, holding a long sword, slashing through the sky and piercing the earth lightly, and then turned away without looking back.

Even though he knew it was impossible, he still dreamed of it. The "complete ruin" project proposed this time also includes the intention to fulfill this dream.

Today, I really did it.

Even in the game, even if the scene is not realistic, even if the graphics are a little rudimentary. But at this time, my heart was suddenly enveloped by extremely passionate feelings.

Because, I finally fulfilled that ridiculous childhood dream. Even if that...... It's in another world.

"What's wrong with you?"

I don't know how long it took, Xia Xiaoling's voice pulled him back to reality from his memories.

Zhao Nuo stared at the computer screen in a daze, only to see that the rain had stopped, and Xiang Yu also returned to the "standard posture" at the beginning.

However, he knew very well that he would probably never forget the scene just now.

"How's it going? Say it. Xia Xiaoling, who was still standing behind, was already a little anxious when she saw that Zhao Nuo hadn't answered yet.

"Hmm...... That's great. Thank you for making this engine. ”

Zhao Nuo stood up as he spoke, bowed to Xia Xiaoling, then held her hand and looked at her, repeating word by word:

"Thank you."

"I'm asking how the engine is, thank me for what?" Xia Xiaoling's eyes flashed with doubt.

"I don't need to confirm anymore, in my opinion, there is no better game engine than yours." Zhao Nuo said seriously.

"Huh? Are you sure? ”

As if he didn't believe that Zhao Nuo, who had always been stern, would say such a thing, even Xia Xiaoling, who had no heart for the city, had a little doubt in her voice.

"Really." Zhao Nuo said.

"Mm-hmm, that's good." Xia Xiaoling laughed happily. (To be continued) R655
