To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

He felt he had had a wonderful dream, with landscapes that were enchanting and blurred, filled with an indescribable mood that left one indulging in their beauty.

Arriving at the company in a daze, he found that the receptionist, Xu Qingling, was also somewhat hazy, as was Xiao Douzi beside him, and Wang Xiaoying opposite him.

Fortunately, this haze did not last long, and they soon felt clear-headed and invigorated, their work efficiency further improved.

Observing the reactions of his colleagues, Fang Cheng felt good.

His Botanic Garden contained the charm of the Dao, and even Little Heavenly Way Tian Xuan was captivated by it, not to mention ordinary people.

However, he had restrained it somewhat; otherwise, just seeing the Botanic Garden would have caused people to neglect sleep and food, staying immersed for days before managing to pull themselves out.

Furthermore, this Dao charm was constantly flowing and changing, presenting the same scenery with different sensations in various environments, ensuring the players always felt something new.

Drinking a satisfying sip of Spiritual Tea, Fang Cheng felt this time it should be secure.

Tian Xuan was also standing at her station, waving the mouse as if she was “Attending the Scene” through the screen, though it seemed to be lacking a bit of essence.

The sensation of being fully immersed was so much better than standing here.

Although it was just a walking simulator, the environment of the Botanic Garden was so vast that the planning and operations team played for three days before they roughly understood its content.

In the afternoon working hours, Huang Ping finished his work and then called Xiao Douzi and Wang Xiaoying to a small meeting in the meeting room.

Monkey had recently participated in a Dimensional training center program and couldn’t make it for a while, so their work group was temporarily just the few of them.

As Tian Xuan learnt that they were having a meeting, she immediately prepared three cups of Spiritual Tea for them.

Although it was just ordinary water-brewed Spiritual Tea, for some reason Tian Xuan’s tea leaves had a special flavor, as if the natural aroma of the leaves was fully released, which everyone praised endlessly.

Asking Tian Xuan to take a seat and listen, Huang Ping started, “Let’s cut to the chase. Does anyone here think there are aspects of the boss’s game that we could optimize?”

Wang Xiaoying immediately raised her hand, “While its freedom is limited, I think for a walking simulator, this game is already pretty impressive. I’ve compared it with other walking simulators. ‘Botanic Garden’ might lack a plot and have a very simple gameplay, but it excels tremendously in terms of graphics.”

“Exactly.” Devout follower Xiao Douzi immediately nodded, “I can feel the boundless mood and charm in the game. The boss’s understanding of the game has transcended that of ordinary people and reached a realm I don’t understand. However, I think the boss reused some materials this time, because some parts of this game feel similar to ‘Towards Death and Life’.”

Huang Ping looked at Xiao Douzi, “While I also think it’s not bad, aren’t you being a bit too extreme? It is not good to excessively flatter or criticize. And I can’t find any similarities between this game and ‘Towards Death and Life’.”

“Huang Ping, you don’t understand the boss like I do,” Xiao Douzi said wistfully.

“Cult followers are scary. Alright then, do you think there is anything else that can be improved?”

“Not really, but…”

“But what?”

Xiao Douzi thought for a moment before sharing his doubts, “The boss provided us with a data table, which included 1213 plant categories, each with its own name and detailed attributes.”

“A data table doesn’t seem strange… wait a minute, a walking simulator should only need to control the walking speed, right? Why is the plant data so detailed?”

“I don’t know either, so I’m still wondering. And have you noticed that in every corner of the Botanic Garden, there are visitor notices?”

“I saw them, but didn’t pay much attention,” Wang Xiaoying said, “Most of them are like, ‘do not trample on the grass,’ ‘do not litter,’ and such. I didn’t find anything peculiar.”

“Oh, I’ve read each one,” Xiao Douzi said.

“…Why?”

“Because it’s designed by the boss, there might be some special arrangements. And it seems like there actually are special arrangements.”

Thinking of the massive amount of text in the Botanic Garden made Wang Xiaoying shudder.

Cult followers were indeed terrifying.

Ignoring the odd looks from the others, Xiao Douzi continued, “Some rules seem normal, like, ‘do not pick the plants.’ But some rules look a bit off. I roughly summarized some of them; you can take a look.”

Pulling out his phone, Xiao Douzi displayed what he found questionable.

“One, this is a Botanic Garden, not a Zoo. If you hear a low moaning sound, please ignore it. If the sound grows louder, please mute the volume and seek help from Alpha.”

“Two, Alpha can be trusted. In case of emergency, just follow its instructions. If someone tells you Alpha is untrustworthy, they’re definitely a bad guy.”

“Three, the warehouse is currently under repairs, and we do not know when it will be fixed; what’s more, there are no plants inside.”

“Four, occasional solar or lunar eclipses are normal; there’s no need to panic. But if you feel a strong wind during the eclipse, please contact Alpha.”

“Five, the weather system occasionally malfunctions, which is normal. However, if you see snow in a place where it should not be, please stay away from it, or you may be forcibly logged off.”
