Chapter 272: 178: Will Working Overtime Get Me Fired? (Second Update)_1



Wang had once heard from Monkey on the down-low that their boss, Fang Cheng, was a maniac for Easter eggs. He couldn’t bear the thought of their games not being stuffed with Easter eggs, to the point that even the in-house planners would often stumble upon new ones while playing.

If you haven’t encountered any Easter eggs while playing the game, then it means you haven’t been playing attentively and thoroughly enough. As a penalty, you’re sentenced to start over and play again.

Now, looking back, “Dark Builder” probably foreshadowed the “Shadow Invasion” event all along, with the solution hinted at early on; it all depended on how closely players were willing to look.

Luckily, I knew Fang Cheng well enough to notice this.

Discovering that bright light could indeed temporarily drive away the darkness, Wang puffed out his chest, spread his hands wide, and positioned himself so that the live stream camera could capture just how handsome he looked at that moment.

[Damn it, Wang’s reaction this time was so quick, he managed to pull off being cool.]

[That’s right, he did pull off being cool.]

[Hiss~ Wang actually has a brain now, what an anomaly!]

[Did he actually recover his brain after appearing on a TV show?]

Amid the “praise”, Wang became even more pleased with himself.

I just love how you can’t stand me yet still have to compliment me!

However, the Gnoll beside him couldn’t see what was happening in the live stream room; he could only see Wang preening by himself, and what exactly he was proud of was completely beyond the Gnoll’s ken.

By the gods above, envoys of the Outer God are truly bizarre.

Having momentarily expelled the darkness, the bright spaceship began to travel toward the nearest planet, while swathes of Shadows trailed behind like Larva that Gnaws on Bones, neither encroaching nor willing to give up on their elusive prey.

Shadows loathe strong light, but it seems they’re not destroyed by it. If Wang wasn’t mistaken, these Shadows likely share the same origin as those in “Dark Builder”.

Therefore, players could totally utilize the same method to eradicate the Shadows. Still, since the gameplay of the two titles isn’t quite the same, further study is needed.

Quick-acting players have already reopened “Dark Builder”, and after comparing the effects and characteristics of Shadows in both games, the identity of Fang Cheng as the Living Immortal has been undeniably confirmed, virtually set in stone.

Looking at the previous games produced under this alias, some people realized that Mr. Fang is a wiz at commercial games and also quite adept at playing with player psychology.

And the habit of assigning random tags seems to be a constant. Even a game like “Spreading Traditional Culture Starting from Me” dared to sport the “educational” tag — were they seeking a more fervent backlash from players?

Some video content creators have already started analyzing how the two games intertwine, their discoveries thrilling players and prompting them to actively unearth similarities between the two games.

The Female Evil God from “Dark Builder” had also been dug up, with various details discussed and dissected in the public forum.

On the subforum of Game Inn, players had gone wild.

The sudden surge in activity was so unexpected that even the admins of the site were taken aback. Had their website’s architecture not been robust enough, this wave of traffic alone could have crashed an ordinary site.

Seemingly forgetting about making money, everyone plunged into the search for clues, comparing the nuances of both games and constantly summarizing various pieces of intelligence.

The matter of the Female Evil God was dug up, and upon realizing there was a sequel to that story, players’ emotions were further stirred, leading them to continue their frenzied digging.

And in the forum, a piece of gaming news was pinned to the top, ushering players into a state of full-on revelry.

[Shocking! This Is How Games Can Interlink!] — Chen Rang.

“Although I’m sure everyone is clear by now, it still needs to be emphasized that the Living Immortal is none other than Fang Cheng,

According to the latest discovery by a newbie content creator who insists on being named — Wang Say Games — signs of a Shadow Invasion have emerged in ‘Space Navigator’. Key NPCs have revealed that a Demi-God Powerhouse in the first arc is battling against a powerful Evil God.

The Shadows in this game are identical to those in another game, ‘Dark Builder’, and some people have found through starmap comparisons that the location of this game is within the same star system.

Currently, players have tried to warp through the Shadows and reach the world of ‘Dark Builder’. If we succeed, then we can attempt to bring two different game characters together. Although this mode of play has been done before, this is the first time I’ve heard of a domestic developer accomplishing it.

Imagine using the magical weapons from ‘Dark Builder’ to fight the external Shadows or employing the spaceships from ‘Space Navigator’ to combat the Shadows of another world. Such actions would greatly alter gameplay and add more diversity to the games.

This kind of endeavor is quite bold. One misstep could easily disrupt the balance of the games and make things overly exaggerated.

But regardless, I have great admiration for Fang Cheng and his willingness to take such risks.

He never seems to follow a script; he always manages to stun me. His moves, endlessly full of pleasant surprises for the players, truly endear him to the crowd.

Thank you, Fang Cheng.”

The emergence of this gaming news inspired another realm of possibility among players.

They began to actively seek out the planet where ‘Dark Builder’ was set. Although most attempts to reach it ended in vain halfway through the journey, the players continued their enthusiastic exploration undeterred.
