Otherworldly Architect

In the afternoon, Xia Cheng also went to watch the legendary alpha version.

The entire Novice Village doesn't even have art resources yet, it exists only to test a few important systems.

Xia Cheng was also stunned after putting on his glasses, and found that the place where he was standing was a white square, and there was a small square in front of it, on which was written crookedly: 【This is the house(s) in Xinshou Village】

After a while, Mingyan also went online.

Then in Xia Cheng's eyes, he saw the image of the protagonist in "Mortal Soul"——

Because there are no character resources for the new game, the production team simply borrowed the initial default characters from Mortal Soul.

Therefore, in fact, the images of all players now look exactly the same.

This kind of resource reuse is very common in the early stages of game production. For example, the monsters in Novice Village now use the zombies in "Blue Star Doomsday"...

Well, a blank piece of paper was pasted on the face of the zombie, and it was written: [Pretending to be a robber]

Moreover, the production team was quite casual. They drew a circle on the whiteboard, and placed three "bandit" refresh points in the circle for testing.

The first system to be tested is also the most important combat system.

Standing in front of the "robber" with Xia Cheng, Ming Yan said with a smile, "What weapon are you holding?"

The staff stuffed three kinds of weapons into their inventory early in the morning, arranged according to the attack distance: fist gloves, long sword and a piano.

By the way, the "Inventory Bar" is also drawn casually now, and it looks like a translucent white paper floating in front of my eyes.

Xia Cheng took out the long sword, held a sword flower in Xin's hand, and then set up a fencing stance.

——Let’s not say it, it’s very majestic and imposing.

Mingyan was happy: "You have quite a wide range of hobbies."

While laughing, Xia Cheng stretched out his palm, hooked four fingers at Mingyan, and signaled him to go ahead.

Mingyan took out the violin - pluck the strings, and a hidden weapon will be fired from it to attack, with a distance of up to 9 meters, which is the longest-range weapon in the new game.

The two tried the most basic normal attack and hit the "bandit", who immediately rushed towards Xia Cheng screaming "Aww".

This lowest-level mob hadn't adjusted its value yet, and Xia Cheng dodged it sideways, and was hacked to death with two swords.

Xia Cheng asked: "Why does it chase me but not you? Have you written AI?"

Ming Yan said: "The long sword has a high basic attack, and it hurts more when you hit it, so it hates you more, so of course it chases you."

Xia Cheng's eyes lit up, and he said, "This is the 'hate' system, right? I've seen it in your manuscript."

Ming Yan said with a smile: "This is just the most basic content, and the AI ​​​​has not been fully programmed. In the future, you will see that these monsters will have a set of strict battle logic, especially the boss monster, which has a set of logic specially designed for the team to open up wasteland."

When Xia Cheng heard this, he asked, "How many people are there in the land reclamation team, and how many occupations are there in total?"

Mingyan put away the piano, and said casually: "'Xia' has no occupational division. Players can learn any skills and use any weapons at will. If you get tired of using long swords, you can also try using gloves. There is no cost to switch weapons. .”

Xia Cheng said: "Wouldn't it be possible to control the hegemony with all weapons?"

Ming Yan smiled and said: "If you have enough guts, it's really possible. But our world has millions of square kilometers, and there are only thousands of martial arts—that is, thousands of skills. It's really not something ordinary players can come here. .Most people should be proficient in one or two weapons.”

While talking, the two left the "robber's area" and walked to another whiteboard.

Standing there is a cube figure from "Minecraft". Because of the different proportions of the world, this person looks very short, only reaching Mingyan's knees.

Mingyan knelt down and touched the villain, and opened a "martial arts panel".

So far, the martial arts developed in the new game are all used for testing. There is an internal skill called "this internal skill", a body method called "that body method", and each weapon has a move called "I didn't think about it".

It can be said that it is very casual.

Mingyan learned all three of these, then equipped them on his body, and began to test the next system——

Martial arts training system.

Xia Cheng and Ming Yan sat down at the same spot.

Said plainly: "Sit cross-legged."

Xia Cheng: "???"

"..." Mingyan forgot, the interstellar people don't know about "cross-legged" at all.

Even the production team only realized it after staring at an anatomical diagram for a long time. Many people still can't do this pose until now.

Mingyan sat down cross-legged while having fun, and motioned: "That's it."

Then I saw Xia Cheng with a tangled face, his buttocks on the ground, moving his legs around with both hands, but he couldn't find a way to fold them up for a long time.

"Well."

Mingyan thought about it when he saw it: I never expected that the player's first bottleneck in martial arts is not knowing how to sit cross-legged?

After a while, Mingyan opened the menu and called the staff outside, saying: "Give him the skill 'Meditation', and directly use the action template of meditation to create one."

The young lady secretary outside quickly responded.

While waiting for the skill to be released, Xia Cheng stretched his neck to watch Mingyan's "practice".

The martial arts training system of "Xia" is quite complicated.

First of all, martial arts is divided into six categories: weapons, fists and feet, internal skills, body skills, unique skills, and eccentricities. Like weapons, there are also sub-categories of different weapons.

Under each category, players can learn as many specific martial arts as they want, such as the "that body method" martial arts that is explained.

These martial arts are like skills, which can be upgraded by injecting experience (called "experience" in "Xia").

Depending on the rarity of martial arts, the upper limit of upgrading is also different, but there will be a bottleneck every [-]th level.

The bottleneck requires players to "retreat" to break through, which will consume a certain amount of time and experience, and some very special martial arts will require additional materials.

The player's character level is also calculated based on the level of all martial arts, but it does not provide any bonuses and does not need to consume experience. It is equivalent to calculating the player's total combat power.

The player's character attributes will not increase with the upgrade, but will increase with the breakthrough of martial arts.

This is also very realistic.

In reality, human beings will not suddenly "level up" and then their strength will advance by leaps and bounds.

But those who practice fencing for many years will definitely have a high level of fencing skills and a healthy and strong body.

Mingyan currently has 100000000 experience points put into him by the GM, so he directly raised his "that agility" to level 20.

Then he sat in place to meditate and retreat to break through the bottleneck, and with a little practice, he opened up several acupuncture points required by "that body method", and directly broke through successfully.

A golden light flashed on Mingyan's body, and he was upgraded.

"That agility" has changed from "non-influential" to "nine-flow agility", and by the way, it has provided Mingyan with a bonus value of "sensitivity +8".

Mingyan got up and jumped, um, it seemed to be about 0.1 meters higher than before.

Xia Cheng watched intently from the side, and said, "Have you upgraded?"

Ming Yan said: "Yes, I can hang you now."

Xia Cheng laughed: "Come, come, let's compete."

There are open spaces everywhere, the two stood up and took out their weapons, and said with a smile, "Don't say I bully you."

Xia Cheng took out the sword, jokingly showed a very evil expression, and said, "Come on, handsome boy, come and play with me, I promise I won't hurt you."

Mingyan showed a kind smile.

The basic attributes of the two are exactly the same, but Xia Cheng is still at level 1 now, but it is clearly at level 2.

Moreover, Mingyan's sensitivity attribute is 8 points higher than Xia Cheng's, so he won't engage in fencing with Xia Cheng, he must be flying a kite directly!

Xia Cheng: "..."

Mingyan: "Come, come, come and chase me!"

Mingyan couldn't laugh, and ran while hitting, taking advantage of the fact that his Qin's attack range was much farther than that of a long sword, and flew Xia Cheng's kite hundreds of meters away all the way.

Xia Cheng was so angry, holding a long sword, but couldn't run Mingyan faster than a rabbit, he couldn't touch a piece of his clothes.

In the end, he gave up the attempt in despair, dropped the sword, and collapsed to the ground in large characters, quitting the strike.

Mingyan walked back, squatted down with a smile, poked Xia Cheng's dimple, and said, "There are still two systems that have not been tested."

Xia Cheng opened his eyes and said, "Huh?"

Mingyan said: "There is also light work and cooking."

Hearing the word "cooking", Xia Cheng's ears perked up: "Do you still have the skill of 'cooking'? Can you make a dumpling for me?"

Mingyan said: "There are no dumplings, only 'moon cakes' can be made at present, do you want to try it?"

Xia Cheng sat up abruptly: "As long as it is made by you, you have to taste everything!"

Like everything before it, the cooking system is super crude right now.

Just next to the "this is the house(s) in Xinshou Village", there is a pixel-level stove, and a box next to it is full of raw materials for making mooncakes.

Mingyan walked over to use the "cooking" skill, then entered the cooking mode and started kneading the dough.

While waiting by the side, Xia Cheng casually flipped through his life skills panel, and found a lot of content that was still being planned.

The life skills of this game seem to be able to learn as many as you want, and there is also a bottleneck every [-] levels, which can also provide players with experience for upgrading.

This also means that life players can not learn martial arts at all, and can rise to a very high level by virtue of cooking, growing vegetables, tailoring and other abilities.

Xia Cheng clicked into the "cooking" subcategory and took a look.

I thought it would be the same as martial arts or something, only one or two simple test food showed it.

But I never expected that a very long list would pop up!

How long?

The progress bar next to it has almost turned into a small dot!There must be tens of thousands of content?

Xia Cheng: "... Ming, Boss Ming! There seems to be a bug in your alpha version. Come and take a look."
