To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 142: 113 Everything Contains the Dao (Second Update)_3

Mr. Fang, with such strong abilities like yours, it would be a shame not to play games.

What? You’re better at making games than playing them?

Well, that’s alright then.

A few minutes later, a refreshed Monkey and a composed Fang Cheng walked out of the VR unit.

Even though he lost, Monkey still wore a cheerful smile.

As they walked, he said excitedly, “Boss, you’re really amazing. I specifically used Ape Demon for today, but I still couldn’t beat you. But no worries, next time I will definitely claim your life.”

“You did very well already,” Fang Cheng replied, “In the past, you would have been a decent Sword Immortal. Play a few more times, and you should reach my level from back then.”

“Really!” Monkey asked excitedly, “What age level was Boss at back then?”

“I started sword training early, around nine years old, I think.”

“…Oh.”

As Fang Cheng entered the lounge, he noticed everyone was looking at him.

Someone started clapping, and it was a long time before the applause finally ceased.

With his superior skills, players from the Dimensional Training Center treated Fang Cheng with utmost respect.

They settled him into a seat and then pulled up the competition video to ask questions and consult on technical details.

Wang Say Games also listened in for a while. Even though he didn’t understand much, he felt he had learned a great deal and would possibly last longer next time.

Five minutes after the next match started, Wang Say Games left his VR pod with a despondent look, grabbed a coffee, and sat down in the spectator section.

Seeing Wang Say Games come out early, Coach Lin didn’t know whether to speak or to remain silent.

In the end, he patted the other man’s shoulder and said, “Next time you see Mr. Fang, you might as well just kneel and beg for mercy.”

“Hmm.”

“Make sure you’re a bit more graceful when you beg for mercy, maybe if Mr. Fang sees how standard your posture is, he might spare you.”

“Hmm.”

Afterward, Fang Cheng spent two more days at the Dimensional Training Center, recorded some footage for a show, and then left amid the reluctant gazes of others.

Although he still couldn’t understand why everyone found fighting so fun, Fang Cheng had another insight.

That was the cooperation between players could also be a source of joy.

Especially later on, seeing other players strategize and work together with the aim to take him down, their spirit of cooperation moved Fang Cheng quite a bit.

Although they kept failing, the brilliance and courage shown throughout the process still touched Fang Cheng’s heart.

A group of people working hard and struggling together was quite an enjoyable process.

The gloominess in Fang Cheng’s heart from the failure of “Botanic Garden” had dissipated, and new inspiration bubbled up within him. He felt that he had accumulated enough and that it was time to move on to the next game.

Combining this with the inspiration he received while designing the botanical garden box earlier, Fang Cheng decided to blend these two elements to create a new gameplay experience.

This game would need to have some construction elements but also cooperative gameplay. It would require players to join forces to build their homelands, making them more secure.

Of course, to encourage player cooperation, there must be some imminent danger, prompting players to work together.

“The world is dangerous, and all we have to rely on is each other.” This phrase would be the best description for this new game.

Having clarified the main idea, Fang Cheng left the Dimensional Training Center.

But he didn’t go straight back to Rong City; instead, he headed to the Mirror Universe behind the black hole, to the area he wanted this time.
