Virtual Reality Game

"Mother Goddess, is this enough?" Skadi looked at Cheng Jue shyly.

"OK, no problem. Little Skadi, you did very well." Cheng Jue smiled and put away the jade slip, which contained Skadi's image from when she had just sung.

Skadi blushed furiously and said embarrassedly, "Mother Goddess, do all of these have to be shown to the future Travelers?"

"I think there were some parts I didn't sing well," Skadi said awkwardly, her face red.

Cheng Jue teased, "Don't be nervous, it's fine. Besides, little Skadi, you're so beautiful."

This matter had begun several days ago. Cheng Jue had summoned Skadi a few days earlier and told her that she had an important task. In a few days, the Mother Goddess would use great divine powers to summon Travelers from other worlds to help civilization develop, and Skadi was to help the Mother Goddess guide them properly.

Guide the Travelers.

When Skadi had heard those words, she had nodded excitedly.

Whenever she recalled the Mother Goddess's instructions, Skadi's heart surged with emotion.

Travelers... What would they be like?

The Travelers summoned by the Mother Goddess—would they be elves like them, or gods like the seven great ones? Or perhaps... divine envoys.

Thinking of Mister Zhongli of Liyue, Skadi's face could not help turning red, and she found herself harboring a trace of longing for the future Travelers.

No matter what, the Travelers had been chosen by the Mother Goddess. They surely possessed the same kindness, honesty, elegance, and righteousness as the elves.

Skadi looked at the towering World Tree before her, and her gaze gradually hardened with resolve:

"With the Mother Goddess and the seven great gods, our civilization will surely continue to develop in this world, along with the future Travelers."

"One day, our civilization will flourish."

At that thought, Skadi's heart brimmed with passion, and she could not help shouting aloud.

"Praise the great Mother of Life!"

"Praise the great Mother of Nature!"

"Praise the great Orthodox God of Creation and Society!"

Her voice was filled with hope and passion for the future.

After assigning other tasks to the overly excited Skadi, Cheng Jue once again plunged her consciousness into the Human Dao Jade Disc.

She linked to the World Tree supercomputer again and effortlessly connected the networks of the two worlds, beginning to create the game and prepare for the players' arrival.

After obtaining the Human Dao Jade Disc, Cheng Jue had already tested and verified the feasibility of her idea.

All that remained was to perfect the game she had named World Tree and make it famous in both worlds.

"The game levels need to be designed properly. I can use the Foundation Establishment section of Myriad Spirits Profound Light Record as the template... Hmm, the initial level cap will be forty, corresponding to Core Formation Great Perfection..."

"The classes can just copy the professions of the seven civilizations..."

"The players' bodies will be elves. The World Tree itself can birth elves, so that'll save the most effort. Their strength can be set at level one. There aren't any grind maniacs in that game, so they'll definitely be willing to work hard and level up..."

"I'll modify the Law of Life so that every monster the players kill provides what they need to level up. Then I won't have to pay the energy myself..."

"I'll let them keep thirty percent of the energy they gain. I'm just too generous... I can also leave a portion to return to the players' bodies in reality. Given enough time, the players will probably be able to use their in-game skills in the real world..."

"The arrival zone will be set in my forest. It can serve as the beginner village, and then the Mondstadt map can be unlocked. If they die, they'll start working from level one again..."

"As for experience points, I can base them on the body's examination status and create a data-driven game system..."

"For dungeon instances... I can refer to other games and just copy them. If all else fails, isn't Hell in the Marvel world a massive dungeon? It'll be enough at least until level one hundred..."

"The game's theme... will be exploring the world and protecting the development of elven civilization!"

"And the promotional animation. That'll be easy. I'll just use the scenes from the vicious beast invasion some time ago. Isn't that better than any special effects? As for background music, don't the elves have plenty of it? And it's pretty good too..."

"Skadi will be on the cover. Those beasts just love cute girls... Oh, right, the seven gods need to be added too. Zhongli and Venti can also attract female players."

"The flow of time between the two worlds differs too greatly. I understand part of the Great Dao of Time, and I've already refined the Grotto-Heaven Pearl, so I can adjust the time within the Grotto-Heaven world. I'll set it so that one day in the two worlds equals ten days in the Grotto-Heaven world. Any faster, and people won't be able to bear it... Otherwise, prolonged periods of time would grind away mortal souls. Mortal consciousness is very fragile... I don't want to end up in court."

"Still, with the trace amounts of energy returned upon leveling up strengthening the players' real bodies, ordinary people will eventually be able to adapt to a greater time ratio..."

"If that doesn't work, medicine can be used as assistance, right?"

"That gives me an explanation. Let me think... cognitive acceleration technology. I really am a genius."

Before she knew it, with the help of the Human Dao Jade Disc and the World Tree supercomputer, Cheng Jue had completed the World Tree game system...

Looking at her work, Cheng Jue was very satisfied. To be safe, the first batch of players would number one thousand! Five hundred slots for each world. The closed beta would begin in ten days.

Next came the promotional video.

Fortunately, she had already made preparations in both worlds and registered "Elf Network Company" in each of them.

She then arranged for her carefully crafted promotional video to be released. As for what came afterward, she would leave it to her subordinates.

"Of course, players will need game helmets to log into a virtual game. The elven civilization of the Super God world is a god-making civilization, so producing game helmets won't be difficult."

"Producing the first batch of one thousand game helmets won't be hard either. It won't take more than a few days."

Now, she only needed to wait for the promotional video to gradually ferment and prepare to welcome the first batch of players.

After Cheng Jue arranged for the promotional video, advertisements for the virtual game World Tree could be found everywhere across the networks of the Marvel world and the Super God world, overwhelming the public.

Super God world, a certain internet café in Tianhe City.

Liu Chuang, who had dropped out of school and become a street thug, was gaming with some brothers he knew, spittle flying as he talked.

Just then, the LCD screen hanging on the wall of the internet café suddenly lit up. Such a thing was commonplace; the café regularly showed highlights from gaming competitions.

Today was no different. No one in the internet café found it unusual, and at first, nobody paid it any attention.

Until Skadi's sweet and beautiful voice emerged from the internet café's surround-sound speakers, drawing the attention of all the boys and girls immersed in their games.

Liu Chuang was one of them. When he looked up and saw Skadi's appearance in the promotional video, he could not help blurting out, "Damn, this girl's a real looker."

At the same time, the World Tree promotional video began to gain momentum.
