Introducing Third Dimension Soul Consciousness sounded simple, but it still required careful handling. Jiang Ping spent the entire night studying it before finally figuring out the best method.
Games—the Source of All Evil, the lifelong enemy of parents, the intimate friend of students, a killer of money, and a killer of time.
Early the next morning, Jiang Ping began to make a move. With the Creation Diary, no loose ends would be left behind; he could even forcefully list it directly on gaming platforms.
Jiang Ping kept it simple: Company: Creation Company. Address: Above All Heavens. Game: "Myriad Worlds: Primordial." Producer: God.
Jiang Ping opened his laptop and checked several of the most popular platforms.
Steam? Not bad. Thinking this way, Jiang Ping uploaded the game. There was no need for reviews or anything—it was approved instantly. Sorry, but I was the Creation God. I could do whatever I wanted.
GOG? That would do too. He uploaded it there as well, hoping to trick a few more people. After checking several other major platforms and uploading it to all of them, Jiang Ping stopped bothering with it.
Funds were tight for the moment, so Jiang Ping wrote the following in the Game Announcement:
The game has just been developed. It fully recreates the ancient Primordial mythological world, with one hundred percent realism and pure black technology.
The first test will have 100 players. First come, first served. Cherish your game life. If you have any suggestions, you may submit feedback; whether it will be handled is another matter.
That was right—he was just that willful. Jiang Ping did not need to worry about leaking any real secrets, so he was as casual as could be.
As for others thinking the game was too technologically advanced and wanting to investigate him, they would first have to find his location!
He could not be bothered with any elaborate schemes. He was openly telling everyone that there was definitely something wrong with this game!
Once everything had been arranged, Jiang Ping got up and went outside to get some fresh air.
Lin Qing was an ordinary college student. He routinely skipped class to play games, and today, as usual, he logged into Steam to see whether any new games had been released.
"Huh? This name... is it based on Chinese mythology? That's pretty rare."
Curious, he clicked on a game icon. The icon showed an axe and looked quite imposing. After reading the game description, Lin Qing was speechless.
"To be honest, after playing games for so long, this is the first time I've seen such an arrogant game developer!" Lin Qing exclaimed.
Although some game companies treated players like pigs, slaughtering one now and then as an offering for the New Year, or harvesting them like chives...
At least they put on a good show on the surface. This was the first time he had seen someone be so blatantly shameless!
Then he checked the game company and its details. Hah? So arrogant? Was this for real? How had the platform even approved this?
After casually filing a report, Lin Qing became curious about what kind of game it was. Could it really have such black technology?
With that in mind, he clicked download. The game was actually free, which was rather generous. He just did not know whether it would force people to spend money later.
Still, judging by the developer's attitude, Lin Qing decided he would only check out the spectacle and delete it immediately afterward!
If he were forced to keep playing this game, he would rather quit gaming forever, uninstall Steam, and smash his computer!
After all, as a paying Meng Tun, he had his pride. Forced spending was acceptable, but such blatant humiliation crossed his bottom line!
The game finished downloading in seconds. Lin Qing stared at it and saw that it was only 100 KB!
"Fuck!"
He could not help swearing. At this size, it claimed to fully recreate a mythological world? Even Tetris was bigger than this!
It was probably only large enough to hold an icon. Lin Qing had already concluded that this game's developer was not only arrogant, but that the game itself was also trash.
The moment he clicked the game icon, Lin Qing only felt his vision go dark. The next instant, he froze, completely dumbfounded!
One second he had been in his dormitory; the next, he was standing in a vast white world!
A majestic voice descended from the heavens: The game has just been developed. Your race has yet to be determined. A body for reincarnation is now being randomly selected. Independent facial customization is supported.
Before Lin Qing could complain about how absurdly arbitrary that sentence was, while the game world was choosing a body for him, he had already found the exit button and instantly clicked it!
"Oh my god, what kind of game is this? Alien technology? A work beyond its time?"
His consciousness returned to his dormitory, and that was the only thought in Lin Qing's mind.
Then he remembered that the game's first test seemed to have only 100 slots, so he hurriedly called his best friend!
"Hey, Da Biao, stop fooling around outside and get back here! There's a new game that's going to turn the world upside down!"
However, the 100 slots were quickly snatched up. After all, it was free. Even if everyone looked down on the developer, they would still download it to try it out. And once they did, a huge problem arose!
Ten minutes later, Lin Qing saw a wildly popular post appear in the game section:
"God's Prank? Or an Alien Invasion!"
Game Zhang: Today, I, Zhang, was browsing my game library for something new as usual. When I saw this new game called "Myriad Worlds: Primordial," I did not think much of it.
But when I saw how arrogant the game description was, I took a closer look. I discovered that the producer called himself God. I still did not care, thinking it was some edgy developer, and even sighed over how lax the platform's review process was before casually filing a report.
Seeing this, Lin Qing remembered that he had also filed a report just now. He eagerly continued reading, wanting to see what insights this guy had.
At that moment, he badly wanted to enter the game again, but he was afraid that once he went in, he would not be able to get back out!
Besides, wasn't it normal to look up guides before playing a game?
The post continued: After I filed the report, a reviewer sent me a message saying the game might have been uploaded by some hacker and could not be deleted no matter what!
At the time, I still had not realized how serious the problem was. There were only 100 slots for the first test, and since it was free, I downloaded it on a whim. I never expected the game to be ridiculously small—only 100 KB!
Just as I entered the game with a cold sneer, wanting to see which expert's prank this was, I was instantly transported into a world of white light!
It really felt as though my entire body had traveled through time and space! I found the screenshot function, but not the recording function yet. Take a look first.
A completely white image appeared in the post. Lin Qing knew it was the exact scene he had seen just now.
Others in the post began chiming in.
Big Bai: Has the cost of making spam posts gotten this high now? Did the title really need to be so sensational?
I'd like to see how you make up the rest. The microphone's yours. If you can't make it up, I'll beat you to death!
Little Face: Front row for the drama. Could this be another paid shill?
Game Zhang: Don't doubt me, everyone. I swear on my lifelong integrity that every word I said is true. There is a huge problem with this game!
After entering the white world, a voice appeared. It was probably the system or something. Anyway, it was incredibly arbitrary and randomly reincarnated me.
My vision went dark, then I felt that I could Manipulate my body. It was like learning to walk for the first time. These four legs were really hard to use—I ate dirt several times!
Now comes the big reveal! High-energy content ahead! Prepare yourselves!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Image after image appeared in the post. On the screen was an ugly monster with a tiger's head and a cow's body, while the distant scenery was shrouded in ethereal mist and breathtakingly beautiful.
There were also several landscape shots. Everywhere the images reached, towering mountains that seemed to hold up the heavens inspired awe. Occasionally, a gigantic bird covering the sky and sun could be captured in the skies.
No one knew how enormous the giant bird was. Its entire body was golden, and when it spread its wings, it covered the sky and blocked out the sun, incomparably brilliant and radiant!
Quincy: Holy shit, OP, you're ugly beyond belief. Also, this game's graphics are genuinely good. The promotion worked—I'm going to search for it.
Nine Heavens European Immortal: This big bird is really beautiful. The Golden-Winged Great Peng from ancient times must have looked something like this.
And did you Notice? Every corner of the images was lifelike. Even after enlarging the Golden-Winged Great Peng countless times, you could still see clearly every single feather.
Could a 100 KB game really do this? Also, OP, you really are ugly.
North Underworld Has Rain: I love it, I love it. This is exactly the mythological art style I like. I'm downloading it now. As for whether it is as magical as OP says, I'll go see for myself.
Also, classmate Zhang, your game character is ugly to the depths of its soul. Hurry up and kill yourself so you can reincarnate.
