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

Chapter 877 should be playable now (22)

Good games are all unique, and bad games are just as numerous.

There are many reasons why games are bad, such as the intrusion of diverse gender perceptions, the tragedy of laymen leading experts, outdated concepts, and game systems riddled with bugs.

But this one, titled "We Can Become Buddhas Without Much Trouble," is different.

It's a meticulously crafted but terrible game. Even with pretty decorations, it doesn't change the fact that it's a terrible game.

The production team put a lot of effort into it, but they used that effort in the wrong place, piling on unnecessary things and ending up with this mess.

Suppressing the frustration in his chest, Lin Yuan slowly gnawed away, and finally stood up wearily after managing to conquer one of the routes.

Standing by the window, he looked out at the silent divine realm.

The place remains in ruins, with traces of the fallen Star Lords still visible, filling the area with a sense of deathly silence and emptiness.

But looking at this place, Lin Yuan felt a rare sense of peace, and it allowed him to speak from the bottom of his heart amidst this emptiness:
"This game is terrible. Why do I have so few enemies?"

"What does this have to do with our enemies?" Lan asked, puzzled.

"If I had many enemies, I could kidnap them and force them to play this game. No, I can't be the only one suffering. Those imprisoned in the underworld should be punished even more; they must play this game for two hours every day!"

"That's a bit cruel."

"I don't care about this or that! I can't be the only one suffering! Can't we go back to Kyushu right now?"

"I really don't have that. And what do you plan to do back there?"

"Of course, we should hang the people who made this game up and beat them to a pulp! Making such a terrible game is a major crime, making my son Li Ziming make it is a second major crime, letting the players of Kyushu play it is a third major crime, and making myself play it is a fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth major crime. With all ten major crimes combined, we must deliver a heavy blow to them!"

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Lin Yuan felt somewhat annoyed.

Not being able to eat good food or play good games is already very frustrating.

Knowing that players in Kyushu are still suffering from this kind of game, and that the White Dragon Sect might still be cleaning up after these people, this feeling of dissatisfaction becomes even stronger.

Lin Yuan pulled out the game's spell group and began to study its contents in detail.

The game contains tens of millions of words, making the content incredibly lengthy.

Moreover, the game was clearly created by Buddhist monks, and the content was well-suited for those monks who had thoroughly studied Buddhism. Outsiders only came in because the graphics were impressive.

But it didn't burn out.

Each ending is superficial, simply involving establishing a master-disciple relationship with someone, where the two continuously study Buddhism and share bliss in the cycle of reincarnation—a seemingly simplistic scenario.

Besides the fact that the characters' personalities were not fully explored, the previous major events involving the True Buddha were not effectively utilized.

It was clearly a great opportunity to incorporate the truth about the Buddha, adding depth and historical weight to the game. However, these Buddhist monks didn't think of how to utilize it at all; they were too conservative.

If Lin Yuan were to do it, he would definitely make the content darker and more explosive, filling the text with darkness and blood, and incorporating the cruelty of the true Buddha into it, so that those who have played it will be wary of Squid, rather than simply staying at the level of Buddhism.

After staring at the game's breakdown and pondering for a long time, Lin Yuan felt it was necessary to tell them how this kind of game should be made.

Looking at Lan, he asked, "Lan, you just said that you can only send the game over, right?"

"Hmm, there's no way to include non-game content?" "Then can I incorporate some information as part of the game? Is that okay?"

Lan closed her eyes, quietly sensed it for a moment, and then said, "My authority isn't very high, which is determined by some characteristics of the Heavenly Dao here. Directly using plain language would cause problems, but if we package it as a game and deceive the Heavenly Dao here, it might still be possible."

"I see, I understand now."

After staring at the game for a long time, Lin Yuan had a rough idea in his mind.

Games are always created for fun.

However, it would be even better if some of the information from here could be transmitted over and let the people of Kyushu know about our current situation.

Therefore, he needs to use metaphors to convey his and Yaoguang's situation and establish a connection as much as possible.

Moreover, the effects of his Myriad Soul Banner's divine power are almost exhausted. If the divine power network of the Nine Provinces fails at that time, it will cause great chaos.

Therefore, this connection must be established as soon as possible to get the network running again and thus mitigate this risk.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Yuan reviewed the text content in the game again.

The text, containing tens of millions of words, corresponds to tens of thousands of Buddhist scriptures.

However, upon closer examination, most of the content is actually repetitive, serving as an explanation of a portion of the original Buddhist scriptures.

Therefore, this part can actually be deleted, and only the original text needs to be kept.

Any extra content can be added to the game encyclopedia; players can read it if they want, or not if they don't.

Different original texts can be treated as different cards. Players can choose a non-player character to guide them during the game, which is essentially studying the opponent's deck.

Each card can be used to play a Buddhist mini-game, which tests your understanding of the original text. The game doesn't need to be too difficult, just simple.

And then comes the main event of the game.

Card battles!

The cards are like Buddhist scriptures, and the so-called battles are like debates on scriptures. Players need to use the effects of the scriptures to fight against their opponents.

Moreover, given the nature of debate, it can involve two, three, or even four people.

The non-player characters in the game should not be wasted either. Different characters need to be given different skills so that players will be motivated to pursue each character's individual storyline instead of just collecting erotic images and closing the game.

Thinking about this, Lin Yuan re-examined his game strategy and realized that this was just like "Three Kingdoms Kill".

However, the new game doesn't have the baggage of the Three Kingdoms Kill game, so there won't be situations like "the mighty martial saint who only uses red cards to kill, or some unknown minor general playing dozens of cards in one turn".

Anyway, you can do whatever you want with the characters in the game; you can customize them however you like and make them look bad.

In addition, players should be able to freely battle against each other and play with others, thereby enhancing the game's playability and extending its lifespan.

Even the true Buddha must be included, serving as an important leader in the game, allowing everyone to beat him up and enhancing the sense of history.

If I think about it that way, the game seems playable.
