My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 56 Space
Zhou Kuang opened his backpack and checked all the props he had obtained.

【Expandable Surprise Gift Box】

[Introduction: This surprise gift box contains a random surprise item. The longer the holder holds the gift box, the more valuable the item will be, until the holder chooses to use it and opens the box to obtain the item.]

Holding period: 233 days

[Record of Splendid Chapters]

[Introduction: This item carries thousands of years of Chinese cultural heritage. Using it will greatly enhance the host's understanding of Chinese culture and greatly improve the interpretation of traditional Chinese cultural content in any game owned by the host.]

[Bronze Producer Realm]

[Introduction: After using this item, within a certain timeframe, the host will be able to meet a random bronze-level game producer.]

Zhou Kuang still did not choose to use the expanding surprise gift box. After all, the effect of this prop was too tempting.

As long as you continue to hold it, the value will continue to expand.

Curiosity has not yet overcome his desire for reward. At least until now, Zhou Kuang can still control his hands and not touch this prop.

When he can't help but open it, the system had better give him a reward that is so good, so outrageous, and so irresistible that he can't refuse, otherwise he will be very disappointed.

The second item is very interesting.

[Jinhui Huazhanglu], it seems to help him improve his understanding of Chinese culture and enhance the content portrayal of Chinese culture in the game.

The "Youming Shanhai" currently under production is actually a game with the theme of Chinese culture. After all, if games with the theme of Shanhaijing are not considered games with the theme of Chinese culture, then there may be no games that can be said to be based on Chinese content.

However, Zhou Kuang ultimately did not choose to use this prop.

On the one hand, the production of the game has been going on for some time, and the direction of many contents needs to be changed, and the sunk costs have become high.

He was very afraid of the possibility that after using this prop, because its effect was so good, he would have to start the entire project over again.

Otherwise, the mixture of high-quality content and low-quality content will appear particularly abrupt.

Players can perceive this gap in actual experience.

If we redo the content, all the work we have done in the past few months will be in vain.

This was something he really couldn't accept.

On the other hand, "Netherworld Mountains and Seas" is still a soul-like action-adventure game after all.

No matter how much you talk about an ARPG's plot, it's just the icing on the cake. Players' overall evaluation of it still depends on the action design, combat design, boss battle design, map design, and other aspects.

A soul game with an invincible plot but terrible gameplay still cannot be called a qualified game.

However, if this item is used in game types that focus more on the plot, it may have a truly game-changing effect.

For example, visual novels, interactive movie games or simple role-playing games.

The plot is far more important for these types of games than for ARPG games.

A role-playing game with an invincible plot and terrible gameplay will still be remembered by players at least ten years later and praised as a "hidden masterpiece of plot."

However, a visual novel or interactive movie game with an invincible plot and terrible gameplay can still be called a masterpiece and go down in history!

To sum up, there is no reason why Zhou Kuang is in no hurry to use Jinhui Huazhanglu.

The last item was what really puzzled Zhou Kuang.

Its effect is: after use, within a certain time frame, the host can meet a random bronze-level producer.

However, what does it mean to “see”?
Seen it in real life?
Or some other way to see it?
What can you do after seeing it?
If it was just a simple meeting, then he might be able to find one or two well-known game developers at a game show. However, since this item was a reward from the system, he probably could at least learn a few tricks from the game developers after meeting them, right?
Or can the other party write a game script for himself?

This was the first time Zhou Kuang had seen a prop with such a vague description.

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Kuang decided to use this prop and see the effect first.

The moment he realized that the props were being used, the next second, he arrived in a virtual space.

As for why he realized that this was a virtual space, Zhou Kuang had no idea.

But he knew that this was the information the system wanted him to recognize.

Even the message "The system hopes that I will realize that this is a virtual space" is probably what the system wants him to know.

If we keep thinking in this way, there will be no end to it.

Zhou Kuang shook his head to reorganize his thoughts and shifted his attention to the surrounding environment.

In fact, after careful observation, he was surprised to find that this virtual space looked exactly like his office!

The tables and chairs inside were exactly the same as his. The pattern on the table, the arrangement of his belongings, and even the dust on the cabinets were exactly the same as he remembered the office.

Even when Zhou Kuang looked out the window, he could still see the twinkling lights coming from the office buildings in the distance.

But he couldn't open the window, and when this thought came to his mind, he felt a sense of rejection.

So Zhou Kuang turned around and tried to open the door, but found that he couldn't do it either.

It’s not that it can’t be opened, but that it can’t be done!
The door seemed to be fixed to the space, not moving at all.

Zhou Kuang tried several more times, but still couldn't do it, so he had no choice but to give up.

He was trapped in the office, which was probably the space the system wanted him to move around in.

He turned his head to observe the space, trying to find out what was different.

If this is a space simulated by the system, then there might be some differences from reality.

Is it the order in which the files are placed? Oh, it seems I went through them this morning and messed them up.

That's fine.

Or is it the brightness of the lights? They seem to be inexplicably bright.

Zhou Kuang raised his head and squinted his eyes to look upwards.

But after looking at it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out.

Maybe it's just my illusion.

Zhou Kuang was thinking randomly.

This place seemed like his real office. Zhou Kuang could even walk around, pick up a cup to drink water, and interact with objects.

Just when Zhou Kuang began to feel a little bored and wanted to think about how to leave here, he suddenly found that there was someone sitting in his boss chair!

This scared him. After all, he was very sure that this person did not come from nowhere, but suddenly "refreshed" on his chair.

It's like the pre-loading in some games is too slow, causing the NPC to appear only after the player has already walked up to the face.
