Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 291 Game Development Begins, Module Upgrade!

Following the member of the Spirit Realm lineage, Ling Feng headed towards the border of the Spirit Realm.

The scenery along the way was even worse than what we had seen in the tunnel.

Although they were approaching the outer area, the suffocating sense of oppression had not dissipated. The fog around them was much thicker than before, and visibility was extremely low, barely allowing them to see a distance of a dozen meters ahead.

Every now and then, several dark figures would dart through the mist, accompanied by shrill screams, rushing towards the trainers who were on the defensive.

Ling Feng noticed that the fighting here was intensifying.

The Ghost-type Pokémon seemed endless, completely disregarding casualties, launching wave after wave of suicidal attacks. Meanwhile, the trainers responsible for defense were mostly at their limit.

Exhaustion was etched on everyone's face. Even during their rest, they dared not relax, gripping their Poké Balls tightly as if afraid that a ghost might emerge from the ground at any moment.

This intense mental pressure is far more devastating than physical exertion.

As Ling Feng walked, he subtly observed his surroundings, but casually asked the person leading the way, as if he were just having a chat.

"By the way, I haven't asked about the specifics of your Spirit Realm lineage yet. Besides Will, how many other Realm Lords do you have? And what is their approximate strength level?"

The member was taken aback, not expecting Ling Feng to be interested in this. But after glancing back at Ling Feng's calm expression, he immediately answered honestly.

"In response to your question, our Spirit Realm lineage has a total of three Realm Lords. Lord Will, you have met him; he is undoubtedly the strongest. As for the other two..."

He paused, as if organizing his thoughts.

"One of them is Lady Allah, the only female world lord. She has a cold personality and is a mid-level champion. Her main combat force is a cursed doll, and her methods... tsk tsk, quite ruthless."

"The other one is Lord Carris. He always wears sunglasses and is very strong. His strength is also at the mid-level of champion. He wields a very powerful Night Demon, which has strong defensive and offensive capabilities... but not as strong as Lord Will."

Hearing this, Ling Feng nodded slightly.

Two champions are at the intermediate level, and one is at the advanced level.

This configuration is actually quite luxurious.

It's important to understand that in any region, having even one champion is already considered top-tier, yet the Spirit Realm lineage has produced three at once.

Even so, they still appeared somewhat disheveled in the face of this sudden ghost uprising.

This shows that relying solely on the individual strength of top-tier fighters is no longer enough to resolve the current situation. Perhaps there are too many Ghost Pokémon, or perhaps their strength is too great, especially in the central region.

Only by finding a way to mobilize all the trainers can we possibly fill this huge gap in combat power.

Thinking of this, he casually asked another question.

"There's another question: is your spirit realm short of people?"

The person leading the way stumbled slightly, turned around, and looked at Ling Feng with a bewildered expression, seemingly not understanding why such an obvious question would be asked at this crucial moment.

But he still honestly gave the answer.

"It's so scarce, so desperately scarce."

The man sighed, his tone full of helplessness.

"Actually, this is also a problem of our own lineage in the Spirit Realm. In the past, our lineage was too exclusive, and many elite trainers who wanted to join were turned away, which resulted in the number of trainers not increasing. Now that we have reached a critical moment, we are naturally short of manpower."

"Furthermore... we've been trying to recruit new people recently, but with very poor results. The new people who are willing to come aren't of high quality and simply can't adapt to the high-intensity combat environment of the Spirit Realm. Ultimately, it's because the Spirit Realm has become increasingly chaotic and resources are dwindling, so the treatment we can offer them is far less than before."

He paused for a moment, seemingly realizing he might have said a bit too much, since these were some internal secrets. But then he thought, this person in front of him was someone even Lord Will bowed and scraped to; he was definitely not an outsider, so saying a little more wouldn't hurt.

After listening, Ling Feng nodded thoughtfully.

Exclusion, resource depletion, reduced compensation, and declining quality of new recruits.

This is a vicious cycle. If this situation isn't broken, the Spirit Realm lineage will eventually be dragged down by these crazy Ghost-type Pokémon.

Thanks.

Ling Feng suddenly stopped and said to the man.

Before the man could react, he saw Ling Feng wave his hand lightly in the air, and a talisman emitting a faint purple light appeared out of thin air and was handed to him.

"This is a small gift as a thank you for showing me the way."

The man instinctively took it, but after just one glance, he froze on the spot.

The energy fluctuations flowing on this talisman were so pure and powerful that the oppressive feeling that made one's soul tremble was incomparable to that of ordinary resources.

This is a top-tier item that can only be found in the most dangerous areas; it would be an absolute treasure with no market value outside!
His hands, holding the talisman, trembled slightly as he felt the terrifying ghost-like energy contained within. He was so excited that he could barely speak.

"This...this is too valuable! I...I can't accept it!"

Although he said that, the way he held the talisman tightly betrayed his true thoughts.

Ling Feng waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite, and then continued walking forward.

The man could only bow deeply and thank him repeatedly. Then he carefully put the talisman into his innermost pocket, unable to stop smiling.

The two talked as they traveled, and soon arrived at the border of the spirit world.

Here stands a massive portal, radiating a soft white light. It is the only passage to the real world, and the place where Ling Feng arrived.

However, just as they were about to approach the portal, two fully armed guards suddenly blocked their way.

"stop!"

One of the guards shouted sternly, his eyes scanning them warily.

"This is a state of war. Unauthorized entry and exit are strictly prohibited! Show your passes and explain your reason for leaving!"

The member of the spirit realm who was leading the way frowned. Before he could speak, he pulled out a specially made identity document from his pocket and flashed it in front of the two guards.

It clearly bore Will's personal badge.

The two guards, who had been so aggressive, fell silent the moment they saw the badge.

Their faces turned deathly pale instantly, and they quickly lowered their heads and stepped aside.

The guide put away the certificate and turned to explain to Ling Feng.

"Please excuse my rudeness. The situation in the spirit world is too dire right now. Many people are trying to desert and run away, but fewer and fewer people are coming to help. The orders from above are to strictly investigate everyone who leaves, which is why they are reacting so strongly. Please don't mind."

Ling Feng nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

In these extraordinary times, strict control is essential. Without this checkpoint, probably no one would have been willing to stay here and risk their lives.

He walked to the portal, feeling the familiar fluctuations, and suddenly stopped.

He turned his head slightly and looked at his shoulder.

It was empty, but Marcia remained seated in that spot.

"Do you want to come out together?"

Ling Feng asked in his heart.

The shadow flickered. Marshado glanced at the portal emitting white light, then looked back at the mist-shrouded spirit realm behind him. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally shook his head.

"Never mind, I'd better not go."

Marshall scratched his head and muttered to himself.

“I feel safer here keeping an eye on things. Besides… that guy must be pretty tired doing all that by himself, so I’ll stay and help him out.”

The "that guy" it was referring to was, of course, Will.

Although he always liked to criticize Will, it was clear that Marshadow still cared about him when it mattered.

Hearing this, Ling Feng didn't try to stop it. In the current situation, staying here was indeed more useful than going out.

Moreover, with him by his side, he could notify Will immediately if anything unexpected happened to him.

"Okay, then be careful."

Ling Feng nodded, took a step, and walked into the light of the teleportation portal.

His figure gradually blurred and eventually disappeared completely on the border of the spirit world.

As he stepped into the portal, a strong sense of dizziness washed over him, and the ground beneath his feet seemed to shake.

Having learned from his previous experience, he didn't show much discomfort this time. He simply steadied himself and quickly adapted to the side effects of this spatial teleportation.

A few minutes later, when Ling Feng left the teleportation hall and came outside, the scene before him had completely changed when he looked up again.

The sky, which should have been bright, was now even more gloomy than before he entered the spirit world.

Thick, dark clouds pressed down on the city, creating a suffocating sense of oppression.

Looking back now, that makes sense.

The situation in the spirit world has already deteriorated to such a degree that it's impossible for the real world to have no reaction at all.

There is some kind of connection between the two worlds, especially with a large-scale ghost uprising like this; such anomalies are practically inevitable.

If the legendary Flower Rock Monster really breaks the seal, then the impact will probably be more than just bad weather.

If that thing escapes from the spirit world at that time...

Ling Feng shook his head and clicked his tongue slightly.

It seems that the Pokémon world is not as safe as I thought.

However, thinking about these things is useless.

The most urgent task is to focus on solving the problem and dealing with that major trouble that is about to break through the seal.

Ling Feng glanced around but didn't rush home.

Time is of the essence.

He wandered around the streets of Golden City and quickly found a private internet cafe that looked fairly secluded. He booked a private room at the front desk, paid the fee, and went straight inside.

After powering on, the system was already loaded onto the computer.

He got right to work and quickly built the game's framework within the system.

With the help of the system, this step is very fast.

The basic framework was quickly completed, and a brand-new game prototype appeared on the screen.

But this is just the beginning; the most troublesome part, filling in the blanks, is yet to come.

Model texturing, story scripts... even with a system, these tedious tasks still take a lot of time.

However, he didn't plan to cover everything himself.

This is where the game developers from DreamWorks came in handy.

Those guys have already proven with their actions that they are indeed professionals in game development. Moreover, there are many of them, so as long as I build the core framework, I can leave the rest of the filling work to them and they can definitely complete it in the shortest time.

But now, there is still a very crucial problem.

To realize my vision for this game, a framework alone is not enough; two important modules are needed to perfectly replicate the situation of the spirit world into the game.

First, the first one—

One of the features of the "Special Advanced Module: Region Morphology Concept Expansion Pack":
[Terrain Scan and Copy: You can use this module to scan the entire world you are currently in, understand all the terrain and special blocks belonging to this world, automatically generate game content to copy into the game, or view it as a map.]

But that's not enough now.

While this module can scan the terrain, it seems to only provide a simple red dot marker for infected Ghost Pokémon.

This amount of information is too little and cannot meet his needs at all. What players need to know is the specific location, strength, and even movement patterns of these ghost Pokémon. A single red dot is definitely not enough.

He brought up his personal panel and glanced at his current emotion points.

Although I've been busy these past few days, the points have been increasing non-stop.

The massive player base in the Second World is continuously providing Emotion Points every day, and combined with the numbers accumulated previously, the current number is quite considerable.

75,000 points!
This is definitely a huge sum of money.

With so many points, you can easily buy some mid-level modules, and even the mid-priced high-level modules are within your budget.

Since we're not short of money, that makes things much easier.

Ling Feng planned to buy another auxiliary module to solve this problem. He was just about to search for relevant functional modules in the store when the system notification sounded.

[The host is currently holding a "Regional Form Concept Expansion Pack," meeting the upgrade requirements.]

[Do you wish to spend 20,000 points to upgrade it to "Advanced Special Module+"?]

upgrade?

Ten thousand points is a bit expensive, but still within an acceptable range.

"Upgrade."

With a crisp notification sound, the 10,000 points vanished instantly.

The next moment, a notification popped up indicating that the upgrade was successful.

The scene before him suddenly changed; the previously somewhat blurry map of the spirit world underwent a dramatic transformation.

The maps have become clearer; what were once just rough outlines of terrain are now three-dimensional and detailed.

When zoomed in, you can even see the twisted trees and craggy valleys in the spirit world.

But this is not the most important change.

Most importantly, these intricately detailed terrains are densely covered with various colored dots. Red dots represent Ghost Pokémon, while green dots represent human trainers.

Each point of light is clearly marked on the map.

Ling Feng casually clicked on a red dot, and a line of detailed data immediately popped up.

[Gengar – “Mid-level Gym Leader” is located in Zone B3 of the outer area of ​​the Spirit World. Current status: Berserk. It is moving towards the defensive line.]

[Characteristic: Shadow Tag - In battle, it is very difficult for the opponent to escape, the exact difficulty depending on the difference in strength.]

【Items carried: None】

Skills Mastered: Shadow Ball, Will-o'-the-Wisp, Misfortune Never Comes Alone...

After glancing at the message, he clicked on a green dot.

[League Trainer: Anne, located in Zone A2, outer area of ​​the Spirit Realm, Strength: High Elite]

[Current Status: Pokémon is severely injured, and the user is exhausted.]

Upon seeing this, Ling Feng raised an eyebrow.

That's right.
