As they were speaking, Ling Xiaoyi returned. She smiled and said, “Young Master, just now, the dry ice production factory gave me a call. The dry ice has already been transported here. There’s a total of four tonnes, and it has all been packed into boxes. Young Master, when do you plan to use them?”
“It’s already here?” Hong Dali instantly smiled. “That’s good, that’s good! Have the planes arrived?”
“The planes had already arrived previously. There are a total of 300 sets, and they’ve already been assembled and put in the storeroom.” Ling Xiaoyi said, “Young Master, when do we start?”
“We’ll start right away. Wait for me for a while!” 300 sets of airplanes; it was naturally impossible to use them all. Hong Dali didn’t think of really letting 300 airplanes fly at once. With so many of them flying together in the air as if aliens were going to invade the earth, that would definitely cause terror!
Thus, he had to use his skill to transform these 300 airplanes into at least 10 perfect-grade airplanes.
He entered the storeroom, broke down the planes, and reassembled them. Speaking of which, this skill was really quite useful. Overall, these planes didn’t need too big an effect. The main two points were, saving energy and having a big capacity to carry weight. As long as there were these two effects, everything would be easy to deal with. In a short while, a total of 15 perfect-grade planes had been assembled.
“Brothers, let’s set off to make clouds!” Hong Dali snapped his finger. “Everyone, let’s go!”
Each person carried an airplane set and rushed downstairs to Lin Chuyin’s laboratory to pack the dry ice into the remote control box. Very soon, everyone had gathered. Currently, the remote control airplanes had been prepared, the dry ice had been packed, and following Hong Dali’s “take flight,” 15 sets of perfect-grade airplanes flew straight up to the sky.
Hong Dali shaded his eyes with his hands and, upon seeing that the airplane had flown up to a height of around 20 meters, he directly commanded, “Open the boxes!”
After everyone pressed the switches at the same time, they became astonished...
A total of 15 remote control airplanes directly created 15 white clouds in the sky, and within just a few minutes, they had completely blocked the sun. Of course, they’d only blocked it at the area where Hong Dali and the others were standing at, but that was already enough...
“Wahahahahaha!” Hong Dali roared with laughter. “Good, good! In the future, I’ll do this whenever I leave the house! Aiya, once the rays of the sunlight have been blocked, I instantly feel much cooler, hahahaha!”
Tang Muxin had a strong urge to kick this prodigal to death. “Don’t you think you’re making a mountain out of a molehill?!”
“No!” Hong Dali’s expression was full of innocence. “It’s fun this way, heh heh!”
Liu Mingxin stared in bewilderment, as he said in a daze, “Young Master Dali, you... You’re making such a big scene just to create a sunshade?!”
“Yes!” Hong Dali was very satisfied with this type of effect. “A mobile sunshade!”
Thus, from then on, when the prodigal Hong Dali went out of the house, he had an addition of ten items that accompanied him—mobile dry ice sunshades...
...
“Mummy, quickly look, there’s cotton candy in the sky!” A little child pointed at those ten flying saucer-shaped airplanes. “So pretty!”
Mummy: “It’s sure to be something that Young Master Dali has created again. Baby, don’t look at it. If you stare too much at it, you’ll become abnormal.”
Baby: “Oh... OK!”
...
“Hubby, quickly look, a flying saucer! And it can even create clouds!”
“It’s definitely a new invention by Young Master Dali. We don’t understand the world of rich people...”
...
After playing for a while more, Liu Mingxin decisively surrendered. “Forget it, I’d better think of how to deal with Spiritual Sword instead...”
“Dali.” Tang Muxin encouraged by the side. “Go with him as well, alright?”
“I’m very busy. The endoskeleton armor has almost been developed, and there’s the improvement for the Holographic Projection Technology, and the development of the accurate voice control technology—” Hong Dali shrugged. “It’s just a game, why don’t you help me by helping Old Liu deal with it. Anyway, things are more or less the same with regards to online gaming, it’s just doing advertisements and promoting.”
“This... OK.” Tang Muxin was crestfallen. “Sister Xiaoyi, let’s go take a look together with Young Master Liu to see whether that so-called Spiritual Sword is really so impressive...”
“OK, Miss Xinxin.”
Speaking of which, though Tang Muxin was very disinterested with regards to her status as Hong Dali’s fiancée, but there was something very good about the little lass—no matter how she viewed Hong Dali, once outsiders posed a threat to him, she would become extremely angry!
This was the typical awareness of territory—Hong Dali is mine, I can do whatever I want to. If outsiders find trouble with Hong Dali, then don’t blame me for not standing on ceremony!
Thus, upon hearing Liu Mingxin say that there was an online game called Spiritual Sword that posed a threat to the Dream Dota League that Hong Dali was going to launch, the little lass instantly got angry and brought Ling Xiaoyi along to follow Liu Mingxin back to the online game studio on the third floor.
“Young Master Liu, what’s the current situation like?” Tang Muxin, Ling Xiaoyi, and Liu Mingxin turned three computers on and sat down. Tang Muxin asked, “Their number of players simultaneously online has already exceeded 800,000?”
Then, very soon, Tang Muxin saw the shortcut icon of Spiritual Sword on the computer and said in shock, “It’s actually here as well?!”
“Yes.” Liu Mingxin was very helpless. “Looks like this place has been captured as well. The situation is not optimistic.”
After all, what kind of place was this? This was the last base of Dream Dota League, the base camp of online games! If even this place had been captured, then the consequences were imaginable!
“Sister Xinxin, you’ve come?” While they were speaking, Lin Zixuan skipped and hopped as she ran out. Once she saw Tang Muxin, she directly dashed over and grinned. “Sister Xinxin, what are you busy with recently? Aye? You’re playing this Spiritual Sword too?”
Once Lin Zixuan came out, her crazy followers also came forward. Upon seeing that Tang Muxin and the rest were logging into Spiritual Sword, they instantly engaged in discussions. “Young Madam is actually playing Spiritual Sword as well, really impressive.” “Yes, yes, this game is indeed extremely popular!” “The situation for Draconic Continent is not optimistic, this game is just too wildly popular recently!”
Tang Muxin pulled Lin Zixuan onto a seat and asked, “Zixuan, you’re playing this Spiritual Sword too?”
“Yes.” Lin Zixuan nodded. “We heard that this game is quite popular, so we were thinking of playing and trying it out. But, how should I put it, I feel that it’s not bad. These few days everyone has been playing it, and I’ve got to level 35 already!”
Speaking of which, Lin Zixuan was a gaming genius. If she reviewed any game, it would definitely be dependable!
Thus, Liu Mingxin curiously asked, “Zixuan, say, what exactly is the difference between this game and Draconic Continent? Previously you’ve all along been playing Draconic Continent, right?”
“Yes.” Lin Zixuan thought for a while, then said, “The difference is quite simple. Draconic Continent places emphasis on PK, and due to the simplicity of the graphics, it’s very smooth when you PK in it. The graphics of Spiritual Sword is better. Overall, it has many varieties and side occupations as well. It’s very grand. This is something Draconic Continent definitely cannot compare to. Thus, it’s normal that Draconic Continent is lacking compared to Spiritual Sword.”
“Is that so.” Liu Mingxin naturally knew about this. Thus, he definitely had to discover a deeper reason. “Then, how do you feel about the gameplay? Is it better compared to Draconic Continent?”
“Hee hee, Big Brother Liu, don’t mind me speaking the truth.” Lin Zixuan’s expression was very innocent, and her pair of big eyes blinked twice, looking very cute. “Draconic Continent is rather outdated compared to Spiritual Sword, so it’s very normal that Spiritual Sword is rising up. Its operating performance, the graphics, as well as various systems are much better than Draconic Continent. At least, we felt that it was very interesting to play it these few days.”
“En. Looks like this Spiritual Sword is indeed very impressive. I hadn’t really noticed it previously.” Upon hearing what Lin Zixuan said, though Liu Mingxin was rather despondent, but he knew as well that it was normal for trends to change with the times with regards to online gaming. What he was more concerned about now was Dream Dota League. “Then Zixuan, between Spiritual Sword and Dream Dota League, which do you feel is better?”
Currently, it seemed that because of the problem with Draconic Continent’s foundation, it was already certain that it wouldn’t be able to defeat Spiritual Sword. Thus, what Liu Mingxin was most concerned about was the Dream Dota League that was going to be released soon. That was his focus from now on!
“These two games?” Lin Zixuan thought for a while, then shook her head and said, “At the moment, it looks like Dream Dota League’s gameplay is better and it’s more exciting to play. But Big Brother Liu, the biggest problem now is that it’s difficult to operate Dream Dota League. It isn’t a problem for avid gamers like us to play it, but people who don’t often play games would feel that it’s quite difficult to play it. Um, to put it simply, if their APM 1 index isn’t more than 100, they’ll totally be unable to play it.”
After all, Dream Dota League was what Liu Mingxin wanted to promote as a future competitive game. Thus, since the start, the setup was such that it was more complicated to operate it, and now that Lin Zixuan had said this, Liu Mingxin instantly slapped his thigh. The higher the difficulty in operating the game, the more difficult it would be to be widely spread!
“I understand.” Liu Mingxin thought for a while, then said, “I’ll go back right now to get the technical department to research on how to lower the difficulty of the manipulation of the game! This point that you’ve brought up is indeed very important!”
“Hee hee, of course.” Just then, upon seeing that Tang Muxin, Liu Mingxin, and Ling Xiaoyi had already logged into the game, Lin Zixuan pointed at the screen and explained, “Sister Xinxin, look here. It’s very simple and direct to manipulate the game, it can be said that even a fool would be able to play this. And the graphics are very pretty, right?”
Upon entering Spiritual Sword, what was shown at the start was the character login interface. Other things aside, just with the background and design of the characters, Tang Muxin could already feel the immense pressure that this game was bringing them.
The graphics were just too pretty, and there were the most perfect ratios for the characters.
It could be said that just by looking at this scene, this game would definitely be popular.
Not only this, Lin Zixuan pointed again at a small icon on the page. “Sister Xinxin, look at this. You can create various detailed characteristics of the characters, for instance, changing their hairstyles, facial features, changing the skin color, and even the shape can be changed according to the requirements of the players!”
