Let the scourge go to the right path, and you make games to reward them?.

Chapter 870 You Can't Go Back (12)

After a day of getting acquainted with the place and exploring its intricacies, Zhang Ting's feeling about coming here was: regret.

In short, I deeply regret it.

He originally intended to come here to find some magical treasures, to get a feel for the Buddhist sect's resources, and ideally, to find an opportunity to take 30% of it, and then bring his good brother back.

Although I was asked to make some games for the Buddhist community, making games is something anyone can do. I could easily make a passable game and then return with a full load of goodies.

Who would have thought...

Who would have thought!
After forcibly reading through the million words in front of him, Judge Zhang let out a sigh of relief: "Finally finished. Next time, let me know in advance so I can find someone else to do it."

"Is the other party an expert in writing?" the girlish-voiced senior brother leaned closer and asked in Zhang Ting's ear.

Zhang Ting jumped up with a "whoosh," covered his ears, and yelled, "Can you please not talk right next to people's ears! It's giving me goosebumps! It's a waste that you're a monk. Go to the White Dragon Sect; they have talented people who are proficient in music. Go be a music cultivator!"

“But I do have musical skills. There are also Buddhist practitioners who cultivate music, and I am one of them.”

"Then you should just pretend to be mute."

After seeing off the senior disciple with the sweet voice, Zhang Ting wiped the cold sweat from her brow and lamented that the Buddhist kingdom was still too short of people, even someone like this had emerged.

However, by reading the beginner's guide, he gained a general understanding of what the game was about.

Simply put, this is a romance visual novel, similar in style to the classic "Mountain Journey".

In the game, there will be a gentle and considerate senior brother, a mischievous and cute junior brother, a cold on the outside but warm on the inside master (male), and a blackened senior uncle (male) who has taken a step into the evil path but continues to influence others.

In addition, there are fellow disciples who see players as formidable rivals but will later become friends; in the Sutra Repository, there is a junior disciple who never leaves his home but is deeply versed in Buddhist teachings; and the Underworld's Ksitigarbha, who is in charge of everything behind the scenes.

These people have different personalities, but they all have one thing in common: they hope to discuss Buddhism with the players.

Because everyone studies in different areas, players need to understand different Buddhist teachings in order to achieve different endings, so that they can have common topics when chatting with others.

Just by reading the tutorial, Zhang Ting knew how hardcore this game was.

After actually visiting the place, he realized that he had underestimated the hardcore nature of these monks.

Although the game interface is simple, the characters are drawn quite well, and many events are also noteworthy, making it look quite decent.

However, many things in it are very rigorous. When talking to people, you have to use witty remarks; when discussing philosophy, you have to quote classics; if you really can't refute someone, you have to learn to use riddles; and when necessary, you have to learn how to argue irrationally in order to get through the situation.

The problem is, which of us cultivators from the Nine Provinces would play such tricks as those of your Buddhist sect?
You guys are just bored out of your minds. You've been squandering too much public money, and the gameplay has evolved into something inhuman. Ordinary people can't understand it anymore.

More importantly, you actually think that anyone would like to play with this.

Covering her head, Zhang Ting felt quite helpless, even when playing games.

Seeing Zhang Ting's current state, Jin Chan cautiously asked, "Benefactor Zhang, is it very troublesome?"

"No, it's just that the game you're making is exceptionally complicated."

"...It can't be that bad, can it?"

"The gameplay is basically nonexistent; it's purely a self-indulgent creation within your small Buddhist circle. Even though I have some knowledge of Buddhism, I still struggled to play it. Those who have no understanding of Buddhism would find it even more incomprehensible."

After hesitating for a moment, Jin Chan said in a low voice, "But everyone is having a lot of fun playing 'Black Buddha Kingdom Xuan Kong', and there is a lot of Buddhist teachings in it."

"That's because the White Dragon is good at it. The Buddhist teachings are just an embellishment; the real fun lies in the gameplay and content. You have nothing now, yet you expect people to play? Don't be ridiculous." "Then what should we do?"

"I have no choice but to take my leave."

Ignoring Jin Chan's pitiful gaze, Zhang Ting immediately prepared to leave, but then noticed that his jade slip had lit up.

She thought it was Qingluan coming to ask about her situation, but she didn't expect it to be Daoxuan who contacted her.

Zhang Ting thought about it for a moment and realized that she had been a good girl lately, so she shouldn't have anything to worry about.

So he opened the jade slip and connected with Dao Xuan's channel. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he heard Dao Xuan grit his teeth and say, "Don't come back!"

Zhang Ting was shocked: "Why! I haven't done anything immoral lately, I've been focused on finding my brother, why won't you let me come back?"

"If you come back, not only Lin Yuan, but the entire Nine Provinces might be in trouble!" Dao Xuan said angrily. "That damned Qingluan, how could she cause such a huge disaster!"

"What's wrong with Qingluan again?"

"This is the domain of Nascent Soul cultivators, and it's complicated to explain. Simply put, Qingluan triggered an opportunity, but this opportunity is also a calamity. He couldn't resolve it himself, and then, unaware of the situation, he approached you, and as a result, you were also dragged into it. If you can't resolve it and bring this thing back to the Nine Provinces, then this opportunity will continue to chain, eventually dragging the entire Nine Provinces into this opportunity until it is resolved and you can escape."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"Yes. After all, they are Nascent Soul cultivators, and the things they get involved in are quite troublesome. Damn it, after Nascent Soul cultivators break through, they must go into seclusion to study, otherwise who knows how much trouble they can cause."

"Oh, I see." Zhang Ting nodded thoughtfully. "So you mean, we should die out there and not bring this thing back?"

"What are you talking about? Would I send you to your deaths? Don't worry, you won't die. At most, you'll suffer a bit, but that's better than being brought back to Kyushu. You can stay in the Buddhist Kingdom for a while, and come back when the opportunity has passed."

"Okay, how long will it take?"

"...three to five hundred years, I guess."

"Isn't this just sending us to die out there! Get Qingluan here and kneel down to apologize to me!"

"Your words are rather impolite to a Nascent Soul cultivator, but there are extenuating circumstances. This will not be repeated."

"There will be a next time!"

"In short, you guys should deal with Jin Chan and the others' issues first, and see if you can finish this early. You can use all the resources in Kyushu now, that's all."

"What resources could we possibly need? What resources do we need to make a game? The White Dragon Sect has everything I want! Commander, say something! Commander!"

Realizing that the commander was ignoring him, Zhang Ting put down the jade slip with a pale face, and then said to his companions, "You all heard what I just said, right?"

Shangguan Zhi remained as if he had lost his soul, unable to hear anything anyone said.

Leng Ning's expression wasn't good, but after learning that there was also a supernatural network here, she wasn't too bothered.

Anyway, she plays games every day, so it doesn't matter where she plays.

Moreover, here you won't be forced to cultivate by your master, nor will you have to memorize the sect leader's heart sutra. You can just play games, which is a perfect way to make up for the vacation you missed.

After pondering for a long time, Liuli said seriously to Zhang Ting, "Is there really such a good thing? What is the price?"

"...It seems you've already paid the price with your brain."
