Chapter 183: What Does It Mean to Write in a Textbook? I'm going to write a textbook just like that!
Originally, according to the normal situation.
In the second level of Josiah's first game, he got the combination of kamikaze + Bomberman, and began to blow up everywhere, catching whoever bombed whom.
I was cool all the way, and I was also cool for the audience to watch.
Replicated the seed to reopen the game, with the aim of continuing to rush to the third level with the same style of play.
After all, for the meat pigeon game, you never know what you will encounter in the next game, so play and cherish it.
But just when everyone thought that the second layer had already been played once, there were no surprises and nothing to watch.
This game ......
It began to show a super-form unfolding that everyone didn't expect!
The cause of everything happened at a different bomb declination angle than in the first game.
In Josiah's first game, after taking the Bomberman, in order to test his power, Josiah found a small room in the upper right corner of the map that he had not been to.
Upon entering, several Isaac Bloody Tears began to rush towards him, and the flesh was blurred by the explosion under the space of his reshoot.
After testing the power, Josiah saw that the room was also blown up, and tried to see if there were any hidden rooms around.
After getting a reply that there is no, I happily went to fight the boss.
But in this inning.
It's still that room.
The position of Josiah when he blew up Isaac changed place.
So much so that the explosion range of his bomb has changed.
A rock that wasn't touched in the previous round was blown up in this game.
Immediately, a new entrance to the dark grid tunnel appeared in front of everyone!
"What is this?" Josiah's gaze froze slightly.
He remembered that there was no such thing in the previous game.
"Could it be that I didn't blow up here in the last game?"
Don't think about it.
Anyway, this game has just begun to be experienced, and the seeds are in hand, so I am not afraid of accidents.
Jump straight into the new dungeon.
What appeared in front of him this time was not a hint for the next level.
It's an authentic room.
After climbing down the ladder, he saw the props in the tunnel.
The icon depicts a flame encircling hearts.
After picking it up, the effect entry pops up.
[Arsonmania]
Effect: The character is fully immune to explosion/fire damage
Additional Effect: When a character is exploded, it restores 1 heart bar.
……
Seeing the effect, Josiah was stunned for a few seconds, and then came back to his senses before he broke out in a silent voice.
"Ward Hair ???"
The entire live broadcast room is also frantically swiping the screen question mark at this moment.
You know, the kamikaze glove has a lot of damage in the early stage.
But there is a problem with it.
You just can't shoot blanks without brains.
You have to calculate the amount of blood to replenish, and if you shoot too much but there is no blood nearby to pick up, it will be easy to die.
That's how Josiah died in the first game.
As a result, it didn't work out, and the appearance of arsonism directly made up for this defect of the kamikaze......
The kamikaze explodes, then explodes to become immune to damage through the Arsonist and heals ......
Invincible, directly invincible!!
"Oh Fake!! I can't take it anymore! I'm going to start a fucking killing spree right now! Kill everything!! Josiah roared, jumped out of the dungeon without hesitation, and rushed to the boss room!
The moment he saw the Sugar Gourd Snake BOSS coming out of the ground, Josiah not only didn't have any panic, but even wanted to laugh.
The next attack method has changed from the boss chasing the player to the player chasing the boss.
While running, Josiah also slammed the space over and over again.
Face me, cub!
The second level, which took two or three minutes to pass in the last round, was less than 15 seconds away from Josiah's constant slam on the keyboard!
This scene made all the viewers in the live broadcast room feel good.
Even Kate and Connor, who were also in front of the live broadcast room, glanced at each other after seeing Josiah's speedrun, and they both saw a trace of ...... in each other's eyes Astonished.
Although neither of them spoke.
But the two also know it.
This game...... It looks like it's a bit of fun.
One moment ago, they were still being chased by the boss, and the next moment they found another prop in the dungeon, and the combination of them directly produced a qualitative change.
The feeling of turning the tables against the wind in an instant is indeed very cool.
And the barrage in the entire live broadcast room revolved around the routine of this kamikaze + arsonist, sighing 'give you 10 yuan for me to play'.
The boss broke out, but everyone was stunned.
It was a bright red mushroom, very similar to the super mushroom in Mario.
When eaten, you can get almost all the buffs.
But that's not the point.
The point is.
"How do I remember it wasn't just that?" Josiah wondered.
"Didn't the seed say it would fix the product? It stands to reason that what this boss broke out should be breakfast, a carton of spoiled milk, right? ”
"How did you become a mushroom?"
The reason for the confusion is mainly that the setting of the seed is conflicting.
The seed itself represents fixation, and it is something that players take out when they want to experience the same cool game.
But in this kind of sub...... But things have been changed.
Especially...... Everything was in place before.
The first layer of onion heads, then tech, lunch.
The second floor is kamikaze, bomberman, and breakfast.
But in this game, everything in front of me has not changed, but in the breakfast link, the props have changed......
This made Josiah quite strange.
"Is it because you picked up that arsonist just now?" There was a barrage that made Josiah wake up suddenly.
That's right!
Compared to the previous game, the only variable in this game is that before challenging the boss, I picked up one more prop.
"But why does picking up the arsonist change what the boss bursts out?" Josiah rubbed his stubble, and for a moment his eyes widened as if he had thought of something.
“It's Fucking crazy!! (crazy) the pool of props in this game...... Isn't there a fucking shared randomization mechanic?? ”
"According to the seed fixed generation items, at the beginning of this game, all the items have been fixed until the final boss. But just pick up different props and combine them...... Congratulations, all other items will be shuffled and randomized again! ”
When he said this, the audience in the entire live broadcast room was not calm.
“wtf???”
"What the hell is this? All prop pools random? It's crazy......"
"If that's really the case, isn't it saying that even a single seed can play with countless tricks?"
"Oh buy karma!! Is there really such a random game? I can't believe ......"
It's no wonder that Blue Star's Omi players reacted so exaggeratedly.
Once this mechanism of Isaac is established to be true.
Not to mention the different experiences of different game rounds.
Just a fixed game game, you can get an infinite experience!
This will be a game-changer for the playability of a game!
"OKOK, calm down, I'll do a test for you later, but for now...... Hey, you know, little Isaac is going to start his killing! Josiah rubbed his hands together and returned his gaze to the screen, starting a new round of battle!
Leads to the third level.
With kamikaze + arsonist in his hand, he is not afraid at all, and he no longer needs to worry about battery life.
Wherever you go, the space is photographed.
I'll blow up monsters, I'll blow up rocks, I'll blow up walls, I'll blow up anything!
Charge all the way to the treasure chest room on the 3rd floor.
Open it and take a look.
The whole live broadcast room is boiling again!
"My God! Josiah, have you used all the luck of your life in this game? ”
"I thought this was already the final form, but why are you still growing??"
"How much potential does this game have...... I can't even think about it! ”
Not only did the audience fall out, but even Josiah couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The props that appeared in front of him.
is a passive item called the Sorrow Bomb.
The effect is +5 for the bomb, and each time the bomb explodes, it shoots 10 tears outwards with the bomb as the center of the circle.
If picked up normally, it is nothing more than the player placing a bomb in its place and pushing it where it wants to explode.
After a few seconds, it exploded, spreading 10 tear bullets outwards in a circular shape.
But with the blessing of the kamikaze.
It becomes Josiah to shoot a space, and 10 tear bullets will spread outward with himself as the center of the circle.
And the more critical point is:
Josiah had picked up Tech 1 earlier, and changed the way tears were output, turning them into a thin laser line that shot forward.
Now after holding the [Sorrow Bomb].
Josiah smacked the space with a somewhat expectant look.
"Zizi!"
In an instant, 10 lasers spread outward!
And with an explosion!
This scene directly made the audience look stupid!
It made Josiah scream even more dumbfounded.
“What the hell??? (What the hell)"
"Can the be skewered together? I'm convinced! I'm really convinced of the interactivity of this game! ”
"How the hell can Player One, or the Grave Designer, create such a ...... Sorry, I can't describe the game, but you know, it's really awesome! It was so unexpected for me! ”
Originally, Josiah thought that there was no fixed system in Isaac.
Which system players can play mainly depends on which system of props they can get.
But there are still differences between them.
For example, the power-ups associated with tears are essentially nothing more than changing the nature of tears, damage, distance, rate of fire, and so on.
And the props related to the bomb, the same is true, only the bomb will be buffed.
But tears and bombs belong to different settings, so it makes sense that they can't be blended.
But what happened now broke his perception of this game again!
[Sorrow Bomb] gives the bomb the effect of 'Exploding Tears'.
And [Kamikaze] has attached the mechanics of [Sadness Bomb] to players!
The mechanics of bombs and tears blend perfectly.
This is not a simple formula of A+B=C.
But? +? =? formula.
"It looks like players can combine random items with items of any other nature...... to create more wonderful chemical reactions. ”
"In other words, if the designers of other meat pigeon games give you a flame and tell you that the flames can fuse this and that, then there will be this and that situation, and these situations are random and you need to choose for yourself...... Then in Isaac, the designer just gives you a flame, and then what the player will turn it into next, even the designer can't predict! ”
And it wasn't just Josiah who was excited.
Kate and Connor, who were also watching the live broadcast, their eyes also flickered slightly, and their faces showed a somewhat ugly look.
In their opinion, the prop interaction of "Isaac" is difficult to perform too well.
Because if you really want to do this, there are too many calculations involved, and there is no designer on Bluestar who can combine them well.
But now, Josiah only played the second game, and only randomly encountered different props.
It has already begun to give birth to extremely dazzling sparks!
After all, who could have thought before this.
The setting that the two well water of the tear bullet and the bomb do not violate the river water can be directly bound together through the two props?
But the number one player told them with his strength.
"Isaac" can!
Soon, in the live broadcast room, Josiah continued to explore deeper places.
With the blessing of [Sadness Bomb], he has a better time.
It doesn't matter if you're a monster or not, as long as I tap the space twice, my blood will be full!
In addition, the Sorrow Bomb can also spread its attack range outward.
"I don't think there's been a better game than this, I think my luck is really good! After just two plays, I came across the most powerful combination of props in the game! Josiah was sure.
Because he is now invincible and has been going all the way to the second of the second.
What could be cooler in this situation?
But it wasn't until the third level of the boss was defeated that an additional door burst out from the wall of the boss room, leaving Josiah silent.
The door, which was pitch black and had a sheep's head hanging from the door frame, exuded a demonic attraction to entice people to enter.
Let's go inside.
A sheep-headed statue stands in the center.
Underneath the demon statue, there is a prop with strange symmetrical patterns painted on it.
Two hearts need to be traded with the demon in exchange for it.
“oh…… Although I don't know what it is. ”
"But this is the first time we've encountered an item that needs to be exchanged for a heart, and it's a trade with a demon, it's a demon item! This must be strong! ”
"Let's see how effective it ......"
After picking it up, Josiah tried his normal attack.
At first, he found that he couldn't launch no matter how much he pressed it.
Immediately, the reaction needs to be charged.
After pressing and holding the attack button, Isaac's cheeks on both sides also bulged and swollen, faintly glowing red.
Until the moment Josiah gave it away.
"Buzz!!"
A pillar of blood-red light the width of Isaac's body spurted out of Isaac's mouth!
Maybe it's because of the integration of [Technology 1].
This pillar of blood also has a laser that lingers like a thread, like a color-changing version of the magic light cannon emitted by Vic in the Dragon Ball manga.
And the range is also seemingly endless, and it can be slammed directly from the far left side of the room to the right wall.
“wow! it's so cool!!! Josiah fell in love with this cool way of attacking at a glance.
The barrage in the live broadcast room is also swiping the screen one after another, saying that this move is really handsome.
And soon, when Josiah put it to the test.
But I found that this prop called sulfur fire has a surprisingly high damage!
A pillar of blood-colored light erupted from Isaac's mouth and continued to attack for about two or three seconds.
In the process, you can even manipulate Isaac to move up and down to achieve a 'strafing' effect!
Now to enter a new room, all you need to do is charge a sulfur fire, then move it up and down to spray, and you can empty a room in an instant!
"Okay, I'll take back what I just said...... It seems that there are stronger attacks than my set. ”
"Next, it feels like the kamikaze gloves are useless."
"I think I can beat the whole game with Brimstone Fire!"
"It's a prop from the devil, it's really amazing!"
But soon, Josiah was once again shocked by the way the multiple props were fused in "Isaac"!
Originally, he thought that Brimstone Fire was a new way of attacking, so he abandoned the idea of smashing blank spaces.
As a result, when he came across a small pebble that needed to be exploded.
Subconsciously slapped the space and wanted to use the kamikaze!
"Buzz !!"
Ten rays of brimstone fire were centered around Isaac, spraying blood-colored pillars of light in all directions!
Illuminate the whole room as red as blood!
It also reflected Josiah's face in red.
At this moment, the entire live broadcast room exploded!!
“WTF???”
"Holy!! What the hell is this prop, so strong?? ”
"Oh my God! This game can still be combined like this??? ”
"It's crazy! It's a game I've ever seen that combine props to this extent!! Can it even fuse with brimstone fire? Are the designers afraid that we won't be able to clear the customs? ”
"I don't recommend streamers to play like this, because I haven't played it before!"
"Damn! Why isn't this game on the shelves? I've had enough! I'm going to write a letter to Ready Player One right now, asking them to get the game on the shelves tomorrow and take my money hard! Exercise! ”
"Am I the only one marveling at the setting of the Devil's Room? So far, this game seems to be just the tip of the iceberg...... Is this really just a game for publicity? I'll just ask, what better game can Player One make than this? ”
"Super Mario: Odyssey"
"Sorry for the interruption, my question."
Compared to the lively scene in the live broadcast room.
At this time, in the conference room of the third department designed by Wei Wangdi, Kate and Connor stared at each other.
The entire conference room was quiet and pin drops could be heard.
Without it, it's mainly the expressiveness of the game...... It's horrible.
It's so scary that Connor, a manager who doesn't know much about game design, can see that 'it seems to be really fun'
In the live broadcast room, Josiah also officially started a journey of pushing all the way after getting the big killer weapon of sulfur fire.
After digging a few more floors.
Finally, he meets the final boss of "Isaac" - Mom's Leg.
As the name suggests, the form of this final boss is one of Isaac's mother's legs.
A stout, bearded thigh wearing red heels that stomps hard in mid-air at random and is not blocked by obstacles.
In addition, there are four doors on the upper and lower sides of the room, and the doors will open randomly, and the mother's eyes will appear, firing random bullets, further blocking the player's position.
The terrain of the room is small and rocky.
For players, the probability of a first-time kill is high.
But Josiah has come all the way here, and he can be described as the chosen son, and the combination of props is extremely high.
Almost three times five divided by two, the blood bar of the mother's leg was emptied.
"Son~~~Child~~~~" With a sharp and terrible scream, the game is over.
And the outro animation quickly popped up.
It's still the familiar stick figure style.
In the picture, the dungeon exploration just now seems to be just a dream of Isaac.
When I woke up, Isaac was still in his room.
The mother, armed with the knife, had broken down the door, and Isaac had been cornered.
At the very moment when Isaac's life was coming to an end.
The Bible on the bookshelf fell off the side and landed on the mother's head impartially.
The mother died.
Isaac was finally redeemed, with a victor's smile on his face.
And in the next moment.
The narration ends abruptly.
The stick figure style has also been replaced with a colorful, delicate and moving animation style.
Isaac was still laughing.
But the door behind it was suddenly slowly pushed open.
The dark shadow of the mother stood outside the door, the dagger in her hand exuding a cold luster.
At this point, the game is completely over and you are back to the opening UI.
But it gave Josiah a chill.
"What does this mean? Did Isaac escape? ”
He didn't expect that it would be such a meat pigeon game with a peculiar painting style and a combination of bloody violence and, pee and fart elements.
The beginning and the end are less than 3 minutes of plot display.
But he was so impressed!
In the sound of a barrage urging the next round.
Josiah remembered what he had just discovered.
Re-enter the seed again.
What he was going to test this time was mainly about his random conjecture about the 'full prop pool'.
In the third game, the beginning is as usual onion head + technology 1 + dinner.
After coming to the second floor, Josiah didn't take [Arsonist] this time, but went straight to the boss room.
After playing, I looked at it, and sure enough, it was [breakfast]
Then test again.
Fourth inning.
This time, with the rest of the matter unchanged, take the [Pyromania]
The drop from the boss room becomes [Magic Mushroom]
"That is, all of Isaac's prop pool is shared? No...... There should still be a distinction between props, for example, things in the demon room should not appear in the boss room and the treasure chest room. Otherwise, there would be no need to open these rooms. ”
"But they'll also randomly change in their respective item pools."
Looking at the live broadcast room, there are a lot of barrages that they don't understand.
Josiah thought for a moment, then pulled out another deck of playing cards from his side and gave a simple example.
He took out the ace of hearts to the king of hearts, put them on the table, and said.
"Let's say those 13 cards are the prop pool in 'Isaac.'"
"Now we've put it in order, representing the items that players will encounter along the way, the first one is A, and the thirteenth one is K."
"We were going to go in the order of 'first take A, then 2, then 3'."
"But if at this time, we take 5 in advance, then there will be no more 5 in the entire prop pool in the future."
"Then where 5 was supposed to appear, something else had to be there to make up for it, because the chest room couldn't be empty. For example, there is 7.
As he spoke, Josiah snatched 7 away and continued.
"In this case, 7 has been moved to the place of item 5, and then the location of item 7 will be vacant again, and another item will be needed to fill it."
"After a cycle like this, the entire prop pool will be replaced."
"Whether it's sinking in order, or completely scrambling and re-random, it means ......" As he spoke, even Josiah's own eyes widened little by little.
"It means that even in the same seed, there will be countless ways to pass the level in this game......"
When this conjecture was confirmed, the entire live broadcast room was completely boiling!
Countless question marks are overwhelming!
“????”
"If Josiah is right, the game is so playable that I can't imagine it......"
"I'm convinced! How did Ready Player One come up with such a game that wasn't repeated? In the true sense of the word, it is random all the time! ”
"Even if you take more or less props, the same room, the same monster, and the same boss will become different ways of playing! And this style of play is still out of the player's control! ”
"But because of the strong integration between the items, each style of play will eventually merge into a strange way to clear the level...... Oh buy karma! It's so crazy!! ”
"While other meat pigeons are still doing different levels and different experiences, the number one player has already started to do meat pigeons with the same level but different experiences! "Isaac" is really a revolution in the entire meat pigeon genre! I don't think it's too much to call it a textbook! ”
"It's not too much, it's a fucking god! If everything Josiah said is true, then it is the god of the meat pigeon!! ”
In the midst of the shocking speech of a group of Omi players, Josiah seemed to further test his conjecture.
With the same seeds, round after round was opened.
And that's exactly what happened.
In each round, he will deliberately take more or one less prop.
In this way, when you reach the next floor, the items you encounter will be completely changed!
This directly affects the course of the entire game.
This wonderful butterfly effect.
Whether it was Josiah or the audience in the live broadcast room, they all deeply felt a very magical illusion of the worldline changing.
The fact that a game allows players to play with a world-changing feel is undoubtedly further proof of its success.
And in the process of continuous exploration.
Josiah discovers a shocking secret.
D6!
This six-sided dice was almost always spurned by him for the first two or three hours.
Because no matter how much you shoot the space, Josiah always thinks it's a buggy prop.
But "Isaac" is good enough, and it is understandable that there are one or two bugs that make mistakes, after all, it will definitely be optimized in the future.
As a result, in one game, he whimsically slapped D6 against the props in the treasure chest room.
Moment! The door to a new world has been opened!
Because of the pale red seemingly inconspicuous little dice in his hand.
It's the most soulful item in the entire game of Isaac!
The effect is ...... Randomly roll out existing items and replace them with a brand new one!
When this mechanism is explored.
All the viewers in the entire live broadcast room couldn't hold back anymore.
All kinds of shouting, shocking barrage is almost so swiped that you can't even see the game screen!
To know.
The reason why it has attracted so many viewers to stay until now.
It is precisely because of the almost infinite playability of "Isaac" and the rich arrangement and combination of props.
At the heart of this is its subtle randomness!
And now...... The number one player directly handed over the right of 'randomness' to the player!!
Unlike other meat pigeons, the designer gives you several multiple-choice questions for you to choose from.
"Isaac" directly handed over the question column to the player to fill in!
If you want to play with any props, then roll it yourself! Have fun!
And it's constantly being explored.
Josiah found out that even the D6 thing was ...... I can enhance it, too!
With some props that can restore energy, you can even achieve infinite charge in a room when you are most perverted, until you roll out a satisfactory item.
When you go deep into D6 and figure out the mechanics of D6.
You'll understand more about how to play.
For example, the white card (copy the current card effect), blood donation bag (deduct blood for gold coins), lucky bag (the basic drop has a chance to become a lucky bag, and the lucky bag will open several basic drops) and other bizarre prop gameplay.
After playing for four or five hours in one go, Josiah thought he had almost figured out the game.
But under the reminder of the audience, he looked at the prop pool in the settings interface again.
After a rough count, it turned out that Isaac had nearly 800 items in the item pool!
When he saw the number of items in this pool, Josiah couldn't help but take a sharp breath!
"Crazy!! It's really crazy!! ”
Normally, only a dozen kinds of props are needed, which is enough for players to clear the level.
Even among these dozen or so props, changing one or two at random can bring a new customs clearance experience.
And the permutations and combinations of nearly 800 kinds of props...... Josiah couldn't figure out how many different styles of play would come from this......
"Ready Player One! What kind of games are you doing!! Are you trying to shock players to death??? Why do you guys make such a great game!! ”
"I declare that from today onwards, I will be a die-hard fan of Ready Player One!! In the future, I will only stream games owned by Ready Player One!! Josiah was hoarse with excitement during the live broadcast for several hours, but he still couldn't hide his joy.
It's not just the game itself that's fun.
And as an exclusive broadcast of the entire Omi, if you want to watch the three games of the number one player, only his live broadcast room can ......
Therefore, the popularity of his live broadcast room is also rising wildly!
Reaching heights he had never felt before!
The so-called some people are happy and some are sad.
Compared to Josiah's rising popularity.
Wei Wangdi, game design 3, there was a dead silence in the conference room.
It was getting dark, but the lights weren't on in the room.
After watching the whole live broadcast process, Kate seemed to be drained of her strength and collapsed in her chair.
Connor was already sweating profusely, reaching out to wipe his forehead.
The two looked at each other speechlessly.
Those who know and those who don't know how to do it are silent after watching the live broadcast of "Isaac".
"It's over, it's all over......" Kate's cheeks trembled slightly, and he felt a tingling in his scalp when he thought that Wei Wangdi's direction of public opinion building a while ago was actually 'the number one player doesn't know how to play games at all', so as to guide the majority of Omi players to laugh at the number one player for not being able to do anything......
If the appearance of "Chrono Fantasy" and "Dead Cells" is a textbook explanation for related game design themes.
Then when Isaac came out.
It will directly define the whole category of meat pigeons, how to go about writing a textbook!
A game that can directly rewrite the textbook, designed by the number one gamer.
You told me that his family couldn't do it himself?
Who is it that is not self-sufficient......
After a moment of silence, Kate opened her mouth with difficulty.
“sir…… Do you have any ideas? ”
Hearing this, Connor exhaled heavily, and then shook his head.
"I'm already thinking about how to avoid the limelight, and I can even imagine how explosive the reversal of public opinion will be tomorrow! fuck! ”
After that, he was unwilling and helpless to slam his fist on the table.
"Why would a small game factory in the East force us to be so ugly! fuck! fuck!! ”
"Is there really no other way?" Kate's face was solemn: "Before, our DFgame has always monopolized the Omega market, blocking the entry of games from East Asian countries with a high commission, but now the number one player is on the rise...... I suspect he's going to build a new gaming platform on the Omics market soon......"
Although Viwangdi is doing things that monopolize the market.
But on the surface, it is still necessary to give face to the laws of the European countries.
Privately, they will use all kinds of high maintenance/operation/promotion costs as an excuse to come up with unacceptable commission figures to prevent the invasion of games in other regions.
In China, Tengjing and Netcom, which are also major game manufacturers, have been forced to retire by high commission fees.
And these two big factories do not have the background of specializing in 'the type of game that Omi players like'.
After all, the huge Chinese market itself is enough for them to eat and drink.
Similarly, Tengjing and Netcom will also firmly control the Omi games that flow into China.
In the form of a high commission or a direct buyout of the copyright, kill a group of games that Omi floated over.
For so many years, it has been peaceful.
But now it's the number one player halfway through.
Their entire company's game design style...... It seems to be all over the world!
Even many of the game genres created were previously unique in the entire Blue Star.
So let him kill and open a game platform by himself, and then give him a period of time to develop.
That's tricky.
Connor wiped his face vigorously, frowned and pondered for a moment to no avail, then let out a long breath.
"I will report to the board of directors first, discuss countermeasures, and let the public relations department play dead first during this period and control negative public opinion."
With that, he patted Kate on the shoulder with a little ease.
"Don't worry, just take charge of your department next."
"With the current size of the number one player, it is not a big problem to keep him out of the Omega Market."
(End of chapter)
