「Thanks for playing！」

Looking at the front of the screen, the representative congratulated the customs clearance, and finished the closing remarks of the flowers, and Liao Jichang on the chair sighed.

The game he plays now is called Falling.

is a development game set in the wasteland.

Players need to play the role of the survivor leader in the wasteland, step by step to recruit partners, train characters, establish their own organization and shelter base, fight against various natural disasters, and open up a pure land in a wasteland full of mutated monsters and "turbidity" pollution.

The game has a high degree of freedom, and all the plots are calculated in real time according to the various decisions of the players in the game, and the drawings are beautiful, the modeling is exquisite, and it can be said that it is perfect in all aspects.

Only...

It's just too TM hard!

Extremely scarce cultivation resources, netherworld monsters all over the wilderness, scavengers eyeing the wilderness... These are just the initial dilemmas, and they are enough for the player to drink a pot.

Coupled with the strong randomness of "Falling", there will be a natural and man-made disaster at every turn, resulting in nothing at all, and the saying that you can clear the customs by following the strategy step by step, everyone's world is completely different, and it is extremely difficult to copy homework.

It is said that the official statistics of the number of people who have cleared customs in the world are less than 1,000.

And the number of "perfect clearances" who can achieve all achievements, all collections, and all explorations has always been zero.

Oh, no.

Now that number should be "1".

At the end of the game, there is a CG picture with a "family portrait", which summarizes the five strongest "doom" characters of each profession who have been trained by themselves in the game.

Doom, a proper noun in "The Fall".

It refers specifically to those who have mutated and temporarily retained their sanity in the "turbidity" pollution of the wasteland, and according to their mutated abilities, they are divided into five different professions.

Players want to establish themselves in the wasteland, recruiting and cultivating powerful Doomers, which is definitely a top priority, and it is also the core gameplay of this game.

As a qualified straight man, Liao Ji naturally only supports his wife and strives for a diversified family.

As a result, the five female "doomers" in the CG picture are all very different in style and come from different races.

Priest Sister "Steelia"

Ability succubus "Rena"

The Dragon Maiden of the Guards "Tang Jiuyu"

Archer is a robot maid "Zero"

And finally, he was often yelled by Liao Ji "Mom save me!" The Guardian Elven Female Knight "Anno"

Some of them are enchanting and charming but flat, and some are ice and jade but can make people dizzy after a few shakes, some are arrogant and cold, and some are gentle and reserved...

But the common denominator is that the appearance is the top of the first class!

But.

For Liao Ji, after seeing too much of their appearance and beauty, they have faded, and what really makes them leave an emotional imprint in their hearts is the memories they carry behind them.

I think that at the beginning, no matter which one of them was, they all had a pivotal position in their different game periods.

It belongs to the kind that made me at that time, and I wanted to leave all the best for "her".

However.

With the changes in the environment and period in the game, Liao Ji's needs for "doomers" are different, so that they begin to be "laid off" and unemployed one by one.

It's like the "wet nurse" Sittia who helped Liao Ji come back to life countless times and rescued from the edge during the wasteland era.

But when he gained a firm foothold and came to the middle stage, after his power began to develop and expand, this kind of pure nurse-like role became less and less effective after all, until he was completely managed by Liao Ji.

Instead, there are more aggressive and powerful physical players who can lay ground for Liao Ji - guard Tang Jiuyou, and shooter zero

But gradually, for the two people who can still kill indiscriminately against light-armored enemies like "scavengers", as the difficulty of Liao Ji's enemies increases, it becomes a "base guard" with sophisticated weapons and equipment, taking into account high defense and high attack...

The two physical output players who used to be able to kill all sides have also become scraping.

Liao Ji had no choice but to take care of them again, stripped away all the resources, and put all of them into the new roles, namely the succubus Rena and the elf Anno.

The former's powerful ability can easily deal with the enemy's heavy armor, while the latter's natural magic and shield provide Liao Ji with the most solid defense and output space to withstand the enemy's terrifying firepower.

With the last wasteland force, after being broken and surrendered, Liao Ji truly realized the unification of the entire wasteland.

【Ember Empire】

It was also from this moment that it was officially established.

By the way, "Ash" is the ID that Liao Ji gave himself in the game.

Later, after integrating the forces of the major races, Liao Ji, as the "Ash Emperor", led his army to recover the territory occupied by monsters step by step, and began to declare war on the source of the wasteland, the culprit of the disaster, "Turbid Abyss".

But.

Obviously, his strength is countless times stronger, and his resources are so much softer, far more than the difficult survival at the beginning of the game, but Liao Ji is not as happy as he was at the beginning of the game, and the interaction between him and the doomers cultivated by his subordinates has also decreased sharply.

First, after becoming a full-scale war with the monsters of the wasteland, the role of the army is greater than personal strength, and second, with Liao Ji's more and more powerful and comprehensive ability as the "protagonist", he no longer needs it, and he still relies on the "Doomer" in battle.

On the contrary, it is the best choice to leave them in the rear as warehouse managers, give full play to the "infrastructure" ability, and improve the production efficiency of the entire empire and the city.

For example, Sthetia:

[Dark Light (with level): After placing "Sytheria" in a "Church" type building, it provides the city with +15% Psychic Pollution Resistance and -10% Doomer Rampage.

[Holy Healer (with level): When "Treatmentia" is in the rear (non-combat queue), the incidence of disease and plague for the entire faction is -30%]

So his warehouse management does not mean that he really gave up completely.

Even if they can't go to the battlefield, the powerful "infrastructure" ability of the five doomers is enough for them to continue to feed them dog food, so that they can always maintain the training level of the first echelon of the main force.

“...”

Poof.

Liao Ji laughed when he thought of this.

It sounds so good, but in fact it doesn't mean that they are squeezing out the surplus value of others, obviously they don't take others to play, but they still have to let them work for themselves one by one, day and night in the rear "factory", isn't this a pure tool man?

Shook his head.

At this time, in the corner of his sight, a thick stack of small books next to the computer desk attracted Liao Ji's attention.

After opening it, there were pages of dense small print, which were completely handwritten by him, and were used to calculate the various cultivation benefits, the cost performance of each copy, the planning for follow-up decisions, and the drop location and distribution of various rare materials and equipment.

It can be said that adding these records together is a game experience for super hardcore players.

Liao Ji plans to wait until the end of the day, sort out and summarize these, and then post them on the Internet, hoping that these lessons he has summarized for tens of thousands of hours can help newcomers take fewer detours, and... Saving the game's precarious sales?

However, after staring at these manuals that he recorded one by one for a while, Liao Ji sighed.

He began to reflect.

Do you have... A little too much focus on intensity, huh?

Because of his long-term "warehouse management" of them, many of them have lost a lot of favorability, and in the game, it is very strange that the character's favorability does not seem to be useful, like a chicken rib attribute, so Liao Ji has never cared.

It wasn't until now in the CG screenshot that Liao Ji realized that it could be said that he was a big regret after clearing the customs.

Of course, there are exceptions, and Sthetia is one of them.

Even if he was the first to be managed by himself, he has been silently working as a tool man in the rear, and he was the first to strip off his equipment and give it to other women.

But just like Sthetia's gentle attributes as a priest nun in the setting, she will never be dissatisfied with herself, and her favorability has never changed since she reached 100%.

If you put it in reality, maybe it will be the kind of, even if the husband has not come home for a long time on a "business trip" outside, he will still lay out the tablecloth, set up the tableware, and make a meal for two people every day, just to wait for which day, maybe the husband remembers this home, and when he comes back, he can still smile and say, go wash your hands.

Call!

With a long breath, Liao Ji shook his head, and he secretly laughed at whether he was a little stunned to add so many scenes to a paper person written by a program.

However, Liao Ji still decided to add a sentence to all newcomers at the beginning when he released the strategy in the future.

[The intensity is only temporary, but the wives raised are for a lifetime! ] 】

Almost...

It's time to put an end to it, too.

Liao Ji's parents left him at a very early age, but fortunately, he left a large inheritance, which made him not worry about eating, drinking and living, but also developed Liao Ji's withdrawn character.

Maybe the birth of "game" is to give people like Liao Ji a haven for their souls, right?

Looking at the record in the bottom corner of the CG picture, my total game time in "Falling" has unconsciously reached more than 10,000 hours.

Liao Ji was reluctant to give up in his heart, but in the end, he calmly moved the mouse and pressed the OK button for the end of the game with a feeling of saying goodbye to his old friend.

However, to his surprise.

[Congratulations, it has been detected that you have met the opening conditions of "Second Week", do you want to enter?] 】

Liao Ji: "...!?" ”

The second week refers to allowing players to clear the level again, and some conscientious manufacturers usually add some additional content to the second week to supplement the world view and improve the game experience of players.

Of course, there are also those very powerful manufacturers, which can even make players feel like they are playing a new game in the "second week".

Liao Ji definitely didn't expect that the sales would die sharply, and it was said that the "Falling" manufacturer who had run away could reach the latter, but even the former was enough to surprise him.

After all... Whether it is on the official website or the forum, Liao Jike has never heard of it, and there are still two weeks of this game.

After choosing "yes" with great curiosity and anticipation, he didn't start the game immediately, but a new dialog box popped up.

[Reminder, the second week is extremely difficult, cannot be archived, cannot be reopened, and will inherit the five "doomers" you have cultivated in the CG to start together, please choose carefully...]

That's it?

For stand-alone games,Can't save it's really difficult to go up at once.,And the inability to reopen it means,Is there only one chance to enter the "second week"?

But for the latter, these are nothing.

"Can you inherit data!? Can you bring the characters of the week with you? Liao Jidu couldn't help but be surprised in front of the screen.

This is not like the operation of "Falling", which focuses on the difficulty of "persuasion".

You must know that the five doomers you have cultivated are all at the top of the pyramid of various professions, even the weakest Sxiutia, under his control, if you want to destroy a city, it is simple.

Now that he can "inherit" and enter his second week, wouldn't it be equivalent to restarting, and he will be directly followed by the ceiling combat power of the five worlds, which...

Isn't this just a flat push!?

Boy!

After the consternation, Liao Ji quickly "understood" the official meaning.

Very simple.

This is clearly for "cool"!

The official should also understand that the country and the beauty can't have both, so he guessed his regret at the moment, so he will have a second week, let himself make up for it, and gave up the time with his wives for the sake of strength.

Well done!

Liao Ji, who was excited, slapped his thigh, just wanting to give the official a big thumbs up.

used to be blinded by intensity, but this time, Liao Ji made up his mind that no matter what the environment is, no matter what infrastructure development, he will always take his wives with him! Fill up their favorability!

With such a game concept.

Liao Ji pressed the [OK] button without hesitation.

In the next moment, the light flashed.

Darkness engulfed Liao Ji's entire vision.
