Home from scratch in another world

Chapter 163

This Friday night, I had curry rice with Oda Sakunosuke. They were sitting in the cubicle decorated by Ishito's boss for idols. Shimeng brought up this topic casually.

"The most popular character?"

Oda thought along the lines of "popularity", and quickly gave an answer——

"Miss Uzuki is very popular."

"Eh? Me?" She was stunned holding the spoon.

Oda nodded, and then explained: "Miss Uzuki has a good personality, good temperament, free and easy, beautiful, and very capable. If she is put in a novel, she must be the same character as the protagonist."

Listening to his series of compliments, Shi Meng tried hard to suppress her smile, took a mouthful of rice, completely abandoned her elegant posture, and felt at ease cooking at home.

Oda, who was sitting across from her, also laughed and filled her with water.

She drank half a glass of water, finally calmed down, and went back to praise him.

"Mr. Oda has a better personality, with a comfortable aura, superb skills, gentleness and kindness. In the novel, he must be a turning point character who can influence the villain."

Oda was calm on the surface, and felt a rare embarrassment in his heart. He organized his words to start the next wave of praise——

"—But I still feel that neither I nor Oda-san may be able to become the 'most popular character'. If you choose a popular character, you don't have to ask for a position, but you must have a very, very obvious characteristic that makes people stand out. Only bright."

The red-haired man agreed, "Indeed."

"I'm not in a hurry. It's still half a year before the next big version update of "Spiritual Warfare". ..."

She talked a lot about the character setting in "Spiritual Warfare". Oda, who played games with the children, understood some parts, and some did not understand.

Shi Meng found that he was absent-minded, and realized that he had talked a lot on his own in a leisurely atmosphere, so he stopped quickly.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Thinking of your novel," he replied, "Thinking of Storm, Stormkiller."

Seeing the author sitting in front of him, readers who followed the series asked, "What is Storm's final outcome?"

She shook her head.

Oda realized that the question was inappropriate, after all, this is a novel in serialization.

Shi Meng hesitated for a moment. It's not that he can't tell the ending, but the ending of "Contradiction Equation" is semi-open, and the answer is ambiguous, which can be understood in any way, so he doesn't know how to explain it.

He changed the question: "Why did you choose a killer as the protagonist?"

"Because this is a chaotic future era, with desolate thought and poor resources after the war. Killers standing on the border between life and death can face more problems. Facing bionics who are more and more human-like, what is lost? Human nature is still awakened to self..."

This is the first time that Shimeng discussed the theme with readers: "I want to discuss some issues, the meaning and value of life, the origin of life, the performance of life... the relationship between technology, society and human nature..."

"Also... This novel is actually written for a friend."

Oda listened carefully, and tried to think about a few questions she raised, many of which he couldn't answer at all, thinking about it, he began to observe the person opposite...

Oda has always felt that Miss Uzuki is the kind of person who can make people feel the heat at a glance, and the heat is not burning, and it is easy to gain favor.

Thinking and acting are wonderful and lively. At first glance, "The Poor Hundred" is particularly in line with her first impression, but after getting along for a long time, you will find more sides.

The turning point and grand world view of reasoning and horror novels—the vastness and charm of her inner world; the historical view and way of looking at the world in "The Exile"—the hidden courage and resistance, and the magnanimous heart of appreciating the world; "Contradiction" Not to mention Equation, the extremely contradictory struggles and discussions of human nature are infiltrated in the world and words written by her...

Since meeting her, Oda Sakunosuke may be looking forward to dinner every Friday more than drinking with two friends, because if he can keep up with Miss Uzuki's train of thought, he will experience an extremely gorgeous and romantic journey.

Her unique perspective of observing things and her cognition of characters are always surprising.

"I was... also a killer before."

Shi Meng was taken aback, was it the killer?

It seems that the multiple spies and mercenaries mixed in black and white that I guessed are still too conservative.

But it can be seen that Mr. Oda has changed his mind for many years, so he has the ability to predict, but he only does some trivial things at the bottom...

Was Attil also at the bottom of Hong Kong before?

Shi Meng couldn't help complaining that Mori Ogai had no vision, he had a lot of hidden talents at the bottom of Hong Kong.

"I was also a mafia before." Shi dreamed of the meeting three years ago and laughed.

Oda laughed along with her: "I also picked up two more children."

"What kind of two children are they?"

Seeing that the face on the other side was full of approval, he didn't have the slightest complaints and exclamations from Dazai and Ango, and told his colleagues:

"It's a vagrant who was picked up in a remote place. A pair of siblings, Mito Mari and Mito Shinichi, were picked up when they were doing low-level tasks. The older sister is very strong, and the younger brother is introverted. They are both good children..."

……

During this Friday dinner, they talked for a long time along the topic of picking up and raising children.

Shimeng did not expect that there would be vagrants arrested in Yokohama after the "Operation to Zero Out Homeless Children"...

Before leaving, she and Oda emphasized that they should contact the "Dean Lina" of the Chenxing Nursing Home if they have any questions. The Nursing Home has a series of supporting projects, and they can ask for help if they have financial and parenting difficulties.

After returning home, Shi Meng took a look at the feedback about the novel and the holographic game——

"Contradiction Equation" is still in the serialization period, and the popularity is getting bigger and bigger.

"Spiritual Art Return" and holographic games are the two hottest topics recently.

The popularity of "Spiritual Warfare" is getting wider and wider day by day, and various circles and forums have been established. Many popular NPCs have various fan circles.

Then he was scolded to death by the player:

【"Blind box, blind box, blind box, you know blind box every day, can the money-grabbing company consider the mood of niggers!"

"Good guy, it's really a card-drawing game, and even the surrounding figures have a certain probability, right?"

"You actually put {evil thing} in the blind box, isn't it poisonous?"

"This {evil object} is super rare! It is said that only 100 were released, and the probability of other characters is the same, so the upstairs is the real little red hand! Can you transfer it to me?"

"Ahhhhhh, I've already bought 300 blind boxes, but I still haven't gotten {Qi Bai Shi San}! Did you get the little princess San San? I'll buy them with money, or you can pick two from the picture We exchange."

"Look at me, rich lady! I have Princess Sansan, how about another {gtg} and {Dong Qingjie} QAQ?"

"..."]

Obviously, players love and hate the blind box, but because of its exquisite design and craftsmanship, it beats similarly priced hand-made peripherals on the market, and its sales are still booming.

"Spiritual Warfare" is about to start its first major event - {Earth and Lava}.

It is said that a new "evil thing" will be released and the mode of teaming up with friends to fight the world boss will be opened.

【"The new evil thing is interesting!"

"Blindly guess the next one is related to the sea."

"Is this an earth-type evil or a fire-type? The skills are a bit cool."

"Damn it, all the players on the server hit it? How thick is the blood?"

"The team mode is super interesting!!! Listen to the conversation between the two {gtg}, I'm dying of laughter, and the SSR will also mock R card's ugly school uniform-[Do you just wear this? How pathetic, Do you want me to buy you one if I have money?]”

"Hahahahaha, is it interesting to mock yourself?"

"Is there still this mode? I'll call my friend to try it out right away."

"Do you think it is very difficult to manipulate the cards? Currently, there are five card slots and one substitute slot, but the R card only has three skills, which is fine, and it is very difficult to manipulate five.

And SSR has a lot of active and passive mechanisms, I am in a hurry..."

"It is recommended to practice one SSR, match it with one SR, and don't be greedy; or one SSR with two R cards/three N cards, this is a more reasonable combination..."

"Yes, the core is equipped with SSR, and other cards are used for support. In fact, if you play well, the SSR alone is also very strong! Really!

There is a big guy in our guild who plays intelligence-type {temporary passerby}, single SSR to play the ladder, super awesome, ranking in the top ten on the ladder leaderboard!

However, his kind cannot be copied, and it is recommended to keep this version of a strong card. "

"At present, the {gtg} monomer is the strongest in SSR. I suggest that you have him directly raised, and you don't even need to raise a nurse, he will heal by himself!"

"{Yin Shui Temple} is a universal support, okay? {Temperament} plus buffs, you can play with anything!"

"{Yamada Nadeko} is the eternal god of the mechanical department, the two skills of virus and explosion are too strong."

"How does {Yemengzi} play? His mechanism doesn't distinguish between enemy and friend..."

"There is a big guy in the forum who plays him exclusively. You can watch his video clips. It's amazing."

"..."]

In the corner seat of the fast food restaurant, a strange creature occupied the place, but the surrounding customers didn't realize it, they only felt that the temperature of the air conditioner was a little high.

Leu Hu scrolled through the comments, the more she couldn't understand... the virtual device "Curse Spirit" couldn't log in, and she couldn't get the news in "Lingshu Huibai". What are human beings talking about?

but……

"gtg, Dong Qingjie, the house has a whistle...the evil thing of volcanoes and lava..."

As a human being fearful of the earth and volcanoes, Leuhu's expression gradually became serious: "Is this a conspiracy in the magic world?"

What are they for?Do you want to use this to eliminate the fear of human beings towards it?Has the magic world discovered its existence?

It seems that what the pink-haired woman said is true—the world of conjuration and supernatural beings are preparing to join forces to destroy the curse spirit.

And the plan she said before was——

"Deal with it first, Uzuki Shimeng?"

……

The "Earth and Lava" project was actually decided a long time ago, but the next one is not the sea, but the forest.

Shimeng is going to turn "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth" all over again.

After the round is over, consider "soul" and other similar attributes.

Seeing that "Spiritual Warfare" was on the right track, she also began to think about the next game.

"Lily City" hasn't released a new game for a long time, it's time to launch the "holographic version", Shimeng is going to open a brand new map, set in a long, long, long time ago, what she mentioned casually, is really just casually speaking——

cruise ship.

"Lily City" currently lights up three icons, the edge of the city where {Rose Hotel} is located, {Iris Flower Academy} near the center of Academy City, and {Sunflower Apartment} in the residential area...

Since the location is set on a cruise ship, Lily City will also become a coastal city with well-developed transportation and economy. Ayatsuji pedestrians also retrieved the blueprint of the cruise ship that he really studied a long time ago, and began to direct the staff to build a dream in Shimengkou. ——

The largest passenger cruise ship with the most luxurious interior facilities.

Although the two planners of Baihe City have no idea about the gameplay and plot of the new reasoning game, they don't care about it at all. The setting of the "Big Mac" cruise ship makes them all interested.

In addition, the employees are currently settled in, and the building is fully manned. The area of ​​the ocean has just been circled in the past few days...

……

"Unnamed Cruise Ship" is on the agenda, the real successor game: one is the completed "Sunflower", and the other is "Dream Home" as the basic gameplay.

{Sunflower Apartment} will expand its area to become {Sunflower Community}, and we will be the first to meet you.

This reasoning game was actually completed at the same time as the web version, and a whole new "escape room" has been added to the holographic version.

The rest of the apartment building will be used as an "open gameplay", encouraging players to design "secret rooms", and excellent products will be purchased and signed by Deep Space.

In the entire "Sunflower Community", there are different types of houses:

Ordinary unit houses, apartment houses, duplex houses, garden house houses...

Divided into four gears, players can score and like the secret room, and make a comprehensive score. The higher the score, the better the house, and the higher the share.

Shimeng can already imagine the bloody storm of "buying a house" in Sunflower Community.

Another one that will be launched soon is "Fantasy Home", which is installed in the player's {login space} as a home system.

Now the player logs in to an empty space, and there is only one basic {guidance system}. With the "home system", players can dress up their own space from scratch.

Some of these decorated furniture are free, some are gifted by achievement tasks, and there is also a furniture mall, which is in the form of a hologram, and players can enter the mall to buy.

Use the virtual currency of {Deep Space Game Platform}——{Star Coin}.

In fact, in theory, construction masters can build their own furniture and create their own cabins.

But when Shimeng thought about it, she would not be able to make money in deep space, so she banned the mode she built, and planned to use it as a "limited time" game in the future, encouraging players to actively design!

……

The existence of the holographic game has attracted countless people's attention to this rural island country, and the existence of a certain person has attracted more attention secretly.If Yokohama was conscious, he would probably immediately pray to the heavens to make him lose consciousness.

In an independent area that is clearly located in Yokohama but is not under control—the concession of Yokohama.

The most central area is a tall and weird "Skeleton Fortress".

The owner of the skeleton, a budding "collector" who has committed several crimes, returned to his residence today.

A room filled with red power crystals, blood red in color, but radiant, but his master was not interested in these rare treasures, and walked through this "power crystal" corridor indifferently.

The white-haired and red-eyed young man took out the holographic helmet expressionlessly, looked at it, stared at it, and depicted the characters on the book. It was half a thick book, and every page was full of well-designed clothes. If the chief planner saw it , maybe a UR level will be added for this.

After drawing today's inspiration manuscript, he tore it up and threw it into the burning brazier beside him.

Flame devoured the manuscript greedily, and the young man took out the intelligence document that was pressed at the bottom of the table—from the government.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko thought of the chief of the secret service who contacted him, and threw the document into the brazier again.

Against deep space?He didn't mind killing the people from deep space, but if he could, it would be just as interesting to kill the people from the Special Agents Section.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko turned to pick up another copy—the one he found himself through the hands of the information dealer.

"The ability to change reality." The young man looked at the smiling and applauding girl in the photo, and muttered to himself, "There is also spiritual ability."

"It must be a bright red."

"Can you let me see the brilliance of life?"

……

The holographic game has entered a stable period, and no matter whether it is intentional or unintentional, people have to pay attention to it.

But the current game is still in {8 hours} time system, for most people, the impact is not particularly big.

In the context of poor global literature and a deserted literary world, Mr. April's "Contradiction Equation" is also a matter of recent concern.

The content and themes discussed in "Contradiction" may be more obscure and profound than "Exile Suite". Many people are still confused after reading the whole novel, and don't know what Teacher April is talking about.

But they must be able to feel the cold and sticky rain and the bizarre neon lights in the novel.I am also obsessed with the future world constructed by the author, those novel technologies, incredible bionics, the models and systems of future society...

In addition, the background of the novel is also after the world war, but the consequences of the war are far more tragic and pessimistic than the consequences of the war. I can't help but think of the current era and people.

Gradually, as the novel was updated, there were more and more discussions.

Fyodor opened the website of the personal website forum belonging to Mrs. April, and the original four hairs turned into a profile photo of her with downcast eyes and a slight smile. The place where the powder punches in and takes the oath.

The host of the forum is obviously a diehard. The original respect for "Grandpa April" has turned into an obsession with his future wife. He changes a photo every week, and he doesn't know where she got it from.

Some time ago, I also found a school uniform photo taken secretly by Teacher Siyue when she was in "Lijiao Middle School". A group of idiot fans yelled "My wife is so cute", and then took a 15-year-old girl away to make a profile picture.

Seeing that the current atmosphere of personal standing has been distorted, the boy in the white felt hat frowned slightly, a little bit wanting to replace this idiot host...

Fyodor rested his chin on it for a while, but the landlord was still very good at the side door, just like this school uniform photo, which he didn't dig out.

He saved the photo, forked the post, and entered the forum belonging to "Contradictory Equation"...
