After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 297 Game Setting (Career)
Xu Lin wants to make a Xianxia-style game, but not a traditional Xianxia game.

The so-called traditional Xianxia system refers to the cultivation of immortality through things like Golden Core, Nascent Soul, tribulation, and ascension.

Xu Lin found it meaningless.

However, Xu Lin will have all the necessary elements.

Moreover, the most important aspect of a game is its playability.

The concepts of Golden Core and Nascent Soul are all just design flaws.

The miscellaneous settings are not important; they are secondary.

Furthermore, Xu Lin's game has visuals, which makes it more impactful on people's senses than textual descriptions.

In written descriptions, such as novels, for a novel to be engaging and gripping, the author needs to possess exceptional writing skills.

But visuals don't have to. Just like Hollywood blockbusters with special effects, the plots of these blockbusters may not be very good, or even the plots may be terrible, but if the special effects are done well, many viewers can still accept it.

Some movies are more direct. Maybe because of a certain actress showing off her legs, the audience feels that although the movie is a bit bad, the actress's legs and figure are good, so the movie ticket is barely worth it.

This is the inherent advantage of visuals.

Xu Lin turned on his computer.

The computers in the hotel are Apple computers, the all-in-one model, which only cost a little over ten thousand yuan.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it costs over ten thousand; in reality, if you're using it for office work, it can only handle light office tasks.

If you need a computer with high performance requirements for office work, then this computer costing over ten thousand yuan is garbage.

"Fine, I'll just make do with it."

Xu Lin downloaded the Moon Goddess System from his personal cloud storage and installed it on this computer.

His current Moon God System does not yet have its own official and exclusive carrier.

For example, Apple has its own operating system, while Windows has many other operating systems available for all brands of computers, and you can even install a Windows virtual machine on an Apple computer.

Xu Lin could only borrow from others; he could seamlessly integrate HarmonyOS, Windows, and Apple.

In short, let's just make do with it for now.

Once he becomes successful, someone will naturally develop what he wants.

For example, this brand of computer comes with two operating systems to choose from at the factory: one is the Luna OS, and the other is Windows. Alternatively, you can choose a computer specifically equipped with the Luna OS, which is the only operating system available.

Xu Lin felt that this day would come in the future, and it wouldn't be far off.

He is quite optimistic.

After installing the Moon Goddess System, Xu Lin installed the game creation software.

The software name is straightforward: Luna Game Terminal.

This game terminal incorporates code for everything being generated and created, and can be used directly.

Xu Lin typed in the input box: I want to create a cultivation game where the world is composed of many worlds. The world where the story begins is flat and the sky is round, and the concept of time is no different from that of Earth. However, the sun and moon revolve around the heavens and the earth, creating the cycle of the sun and moon and the four seasons... The national setting is based on the Spring and Autumn Period. There are hundreds of small countries on the earth. Outside of the countries, there are also countless sects and forces. They are not superior to the countries. The major sects can enslave the countries, and the major powers can also slaughter the sects.

Therefore, strength reigns supreme.

Input: Cultivation systems include proving one's Dao through killing, proving one's Dao through national destiny, and achieving sainthood through the physical body...

The process of cultivation is not important, but the destination is the same.

In a novel, it's impossible to write out all of these methods, because there are too many and too complicated things that an author's brain simply cannot come up with.

But Xu Lin can.

And this is a game.

In addition, he possesses technology that is ahead of its time.

It took Xu Lin more than an hour to figure out the world system and cultivation system, but this was only a preliminary setup, and the actual implementation would not be that simple.

What's the story?
By the way, this is a single-player game.

It has a vast story system, and players need to participate in the storyline.

In addition, the storyline will differ depending on the path players choose, which is similar to other MMORPG games on the market.

But in most games on the market, the only difference in your story is the choice of faction or class in the early stages; after that, it's all the same.

Xu Lin is different; he can manage many complete main storylines, as well as several intricate side stories, including the storylines of various main characters and supporting characters.

Therefore, Xu Lin also wrote it as an ensemble novel, aiming to create several characters within it.

How many characters exactly?

He couldn't say for sure; he'd just have to see how things go.

Story: You begin by joining a faction, which could be a sect or a dynasty. You then hear of a momentous event that shakes countless worlds: the strongest human, Young Master Xu, has taken the place of the Human Emperor in battle. In the Heavenly Palace, he challenges the authority of Heaven and defeats the Heavenly Emperor. In the war between humans and gods, humanity has once again triumphed over the gods after millions of years, thrilling the entire world. Young Master Xu becomes your ultimate idol, the goal you pursue your entire life. You dream of reaching Young Master Xu's position…

In just one hour, Xu Lin had compiled a story outline of over 10,000 words.

"Xu Lin, when am I going to make my appearance?" Yu Xinyan asked curiously.

"I haven't even appeared yet. I need to fill in the world and the storyline before I can bring you out. It's a bit complicated because if you appear too early, the story will seem thin and the character won't stand out when some settings are still incomplete. My character is that I'm still living in other people's legends and won't appear too early."

"Oh, that's it."

"But I will also let you live on in other people's legends."

"I am the most beautiful woman in the world!"

"That's for sure."

Input: A woman named Yu Xinyan is recognized as the most beautiful woman in countless worlds over the past 100,000 years. Even the Heavenly Emperor, who holds the power of the heavens, is infatuated with her. He once promised to give her a thousand worlds as a betrothal gift just to marry her, and even promised to give her ten worlds just to see her once. But Fairy Yu was never moved, and only liked the handsome young master Xu...

"Hehe... The Heavenly Emperor is going to give me a thousand worlds!"

Yu Xinyan smiled radiantly.

"Are you happy?"

"Humph!"

Yu Xinyan was indeed very happy. She leaned closer to Xu Lin's face and kissed him again.

It was already past 11 p.m.

Xu Lin thought it was about time.

"Let's go to sleep early. That's all for tonight. I'll tell you more when I log back into the game later."

"Uh-huh."

Xu Lin uploaded all the game data from tonight to his personal cloud, then deleted the traces left on his computer before shutting it down.

Xu Lin took a shower first.

After he finished washing, Yu Xinyan took a shower in twenty minutes, which was quite fast.

"Xu Lin, I'm here!"

"What about the clothes?"

"I'm not wearing it tonight!"

Yu Xinyan blushed slightly and said, "Besides, a suite that costs more than 20,000 yuan a night, the blankets won't be dirty, right? So it won't be a problem to sleep without clothes on."

She hugged Xu Lin tightly, rubbing against him, "Let me hold you while I sleep tonight, it's been so long since I've held you while I sleep."

"If your dad knew, he'd probably take time off work and fly all the way to Jiangdu to chop me up."

Xu Lin rested his hands behind his head, closed his eyes, and looked completely at ease.

"Then we won't let him know!"

Yu Xinyan said playfully, "We'll keep it a secret, just the two of us will know. Xu Lin, I really like you!"

"How much?"

Xu Lin opened one eye to look at him.

"I just love it so much! Words can't describe it!"

Sometimes, emotions are indeed difficult to express in words; one may not be able to articulate them, or perhaps one lacks sufficient education to express inner feelings through language.

Li Bai said, "My white hair is three thousand feet long, because my sorrow is just as long."

Xu Lin had a deep impression of this poem when he was in junior high school.

He felt at the time that perhaps even Li Bai couldn't fully describe the sorrow in his heart, and could only use such exaggerated sentences to describe it.

Sorrow is impossible to quantify, so it can only be described in an exaggerated way.

"right."

Xu Lin nodded, his eyes still closed.

Yu Xinyan looked at him, unsure of what he was thinking, or perhaps he wasn't thinking anything at all.

Two minutes passed.

Xu Lin sensed Yu Xinyan's unusual behavior.

She crawled into bed.

Xu Lin did not stop him.

History has proven countless times that even sages can be controlled by their own desires, and even the emperors of the Tang Dynasty could indulge in pleasure during times of peace and prosperity, becoming infatuated with Yang Guifei, ultimately severing the Tang Dynasty from its former glory.

Moreover, Xu Lin was just an ordinary mortal.

I don’t know how long it took.

Xu Lin only felt Yu Xinyan crawl out from under the covers.

Get out of bed.

Go to the bathroom.

The sound of running water from the sink.

Then came the sound of brushing teeth.

Xu Lin thought for a moment, then got out of bed and went into the bathroom, coming up behind Yu Xinyan.

"Xu Lin, what are you doing?"

"Just clench your thighs, you'll see in a moment."

Yu Xinyan saw Xu Lin in the mirror and said, "You can't make me feel good and then I do nothing in return."

"Sweetie, squeeze your thighs together." "Okay, okay."

Yu Xinyan was very confused.

Because she never imagined it could be done this way.

“I hadn’t really noticed before, but I’ve noticed that you’ve gotten a better figure and you’ve matured a bit.”

"In just over four months, I'll be twenty!"

"Time flies, when did we meet again?"

"When I was in the first year of junior high, when I was twelve or thirteen, you sat behind me and always liked to tease my hair... We've known each other for a long time... Xu Lin..."

Yu Xinyan gritted her teeth.

"We've known each other for quite a while now, so let's enjoy the experience together."

Xu Lin spoke in a low voice, as if a demon were whispering.

"Um……"

With Xu Lin's abilities, he could elevate a woman to the heavens and let her enjoy ultimate bliss without even needing to penetrate her stomach (as a newlywed).

……

the next day.

Monday.

The two checked out of the hotel in the morning and then went to have breakfast.

Xu Lin then spent half a day playing with Yu Xinyan before finally taking her back to school at 2 PM.

"Goodbye, Xu Lin!"

Yu Xinyan kissed Xu Lin on the cheek.

"Well, go back."

"Uh-huh."

After saying goodbye to Yu Xinyan, Xu Lin returned to the big house.

Rong Xiyan is right here.

They've finished all their coursework and are now in the review phase. The final exams are in a few days, and this time the college exam and the university exam are back-to-back.

"Xu Lin, have you been studying? The exam is coming up soon!"

When Xu Lin returned, Rong Xiyan was doing her homework.

"Anyway, I'm always number one in my major."

Xu Lin glanced over as he passed by and saw that the other person was working on a linear algebra exam.

"Just let me see it after you finish the test."

Aren't you going to do the questions?

"You know how powerful my brain is. Doing problems is a waste of time. I can just take a look."

"Xu Lin, you're so mean! Why are you always first? I try my best and I'm still second."

Rong Xiyan looked aggrieved.

"Actually, you are number one. Look at the major, apart from me, no one else can surpass you. You can just ignore my special case. If you write a paper, you will know that my special value, or what is called survivor bias, should not be discussed."

Xu Lin laughed provocatively, making Rong Xiyan grit her teeth in anger.

"Where are the books for the exam?"

Xu Lin asked her.

"This whole stack of books is one of them."

"Ok."

Next, Xiao Rong saw Xu Lin pick up a book, flip through it for about half a minute, then move on to the next book, and the one after that, until he had finished all eight books in less than ten minutes.

"finish watching?"

Xiao Rong was surprised.

"Why not?"

Xu Lin: "I'm going to the e-sports room to take care of some things. Let me know if you want to go out for dinner tonight."

"You have to stay with me tonight, and we haven't seen each other for over a month!"

"Ok."

"I'll keep studying!"

After saying that, Rong Xiyan started working on the test paper again.

Xu Lin didn't disturb her.

She was studying in her room.

Xu Lin was busy in the e-sports room next door, continuing the work he had done the night before.

A grand game, or what is called a big production, cannot be made so simply.

In his previous book, "The Man's Guide to Success," Xu Lin was just acting recklessly and didn't think much about it, let alone expect it to become so popular later.

This time, Xu Lin is going to push the limits.

Games, especially those involving supernatural powers, are similar to novels.

At this point, the setting must include the world view (world system, power system and force composition, etc.), characters, storyline, etc., and these settings are intertwined and complex.

Xu Lin spent the entire afternoon working on these settings, outlining the basic framework of the game.

It's a single-player game, but you can play online.

In addition, Xu Lin will not be sold on Steam this time.

Because he has to share money with foreigners on someone else's platform.

Steam is a foreign platform.

Furthermore, Xu Lin would not log in to other domestic platforms, such as WeGame.

So Xu Lin had already set up his own game platform, which is a launcher, and now the game "Men's Counterattack Guide" is on it.

Similar to NetEase Games, NetEase Games can be logged into on Steam, and it also has its own platform.

Xu Lin will be completely independent in the new game, so that after paying taxes, all the remaining money will be his own.

It was past five o'clock.

After finishing her afternoon review, Rong Xiyan went to the e-sports room and knocked on the door.

This girl is quite polite; she doesn't just come in, but knocks on the door.

Are you still busy?

she asked.

"Not busy anymore."

"Then let's go out for dinner, and then watch a movie tonight."

What movie are we watching?

Xu Lin thought Rong Xiyan would watch those trashy domestic romance movies.

However, that wasn't it. She simply said, "Avengers: Endgame!"

"Then let's go see this movie."

Xu Lin thought he had seen it, but obviously he couldn't say.

"I heard this movie has a lot of action scenes, and you guys like watching it."

Rong Xiyan put her arm around Xu Lin's shoulder and they went out together.

"If the scene is big enough, then we can take a look."

To be precise, the special effects are good, but Hollywood blockbusters are now facing a bottleneck, so it's hard to attract Xu Lin.

The world is experiencing a period of decline in the art scene.

If Xu Lin wanted to make a movie, he could use the "Creation of Everything" model to create a blockbuster with special effects, and it would be even bigger than a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions.

After having a meal outside, the two went to a nearby movie theater and watched an IMAX 3D movie.

Moreover, the two of them were sitting in the middle area at the back.

Because all the good spots in front are taken.

However, unlike Yu Xinyan, who leaned on Xu Lin's shoulder.

Rong Xiyan sat directly in Xu Lin's lap.

"That feels much better!"

Rong Xiyan said.

"You're comfortable, but I'm not."

Xu Lin was pinned down by her. Although her weight was nothing to Xu Lin, the massage chair in the movie theater was not comfortable to sit on, and now there was someone sitting on him. Moreover, Rong Xiyan was not one of those petite girls who were 1.6 meters tall, so it was even more uncomfortable for Xu Lin to sit.

"I don't care, this is more reassuring. Besides, I haven't seen you in so long. You were like you'd disappeared. You heartless bastard!"

Rong Xiyan's tone was melancholy.

"I was just kidding, please sit down."

Xu Lin held her from behind, and Rong Xiyan felt more at ease when she saw him holding her.

"Drink milk tea."

At this moment, Rong Xiyan held a cup of milk tea and brought the straw to Xu Lin's lips.

It's cold, so I'm heating up my bubble tea.

After taking a sip, Xu Lin gestured for her to look at the big screen. "The movie is starting."

"Uh-huh."
