Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

when! ! ! !

The immense force sent him staggering back several steps, and when he looked up, the world had changed in an instant.

The scene changed again.

The chaotic battlefield suddenly transformed into a tranquil plain. However, looking at the world that resembled a mosaic of pixelated blocks, all the spectators tilted their heads in confusion.

The boy patted his bottom and sat up from the ground. He widened his perspective and found that even his image had become a square block.

As darkness fell, strange shouts rose and fell. The boy lit a torch and looked around warily.

Soon, he drew his bow and arrow and shot an arrow at a small green cube zombie not far away, making a series of strange noises.

He ran forward with all his might, and suddenly passed through a strange, upright portal of light.

The world turned gray, and several towering black stone pillars appeared before him.

A giant, black, blocky dragon circled in the sky, roaring at him before swooping down.

The boy couldn't dodge in time and could only draw his longsword to defend himself.

when! !

The world shook, the screen flickered, and the scene transformed into a reed field under the moonlight.

A cool breeze blew by, and a man dressed in samurai attire stood before him.

"Genichiro Ashina, joins the battle..."

The continuous stream of games kept viewers on their toes, so much so that they even forgot to send comments.

The Undead embarked on an epic journey to rekindle the fire, while the Faded One paved his way to becoming king.

In Los Santos, a model citizen rampages through the streets, followed by a large group of fans.

The Witcher's fantastical journey, Arthur's western world, Zelda's adventure after forgetting the princess.

As the story progressed, the screen flickered faster and faster until it became impossible to see anything. Then, suddenly, as if the TV had been turned off, all the images stopped, and the background music also abruptly stopped.

The boy, rubbing his slightly dizzy head, slowly stood up, somewhat puzzled.

Looking around, he found himself standing in a desolate wilderness, with no sign of human habitation, and only a dilapidated shrine on the verge of decay before him.

He took a step, the fallen leaves rustling under his feet, and walked towards the shrine.

Arriving at the gate of the shrine, he hesitated for a moment looking at the dilapidated state inside, but finally stepped forward.

At this moment, illusion and reality intersected, the world seemed to turn upside down, and his consciousness was plunged into darkness.

"Hey, wake up!"

A light and pleasant voice rang in his ears, and he slowly woke up.

He felt himself lying on the ground, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a lovely red and white shrine maiden.

She held a white gohei in her hand and gently poked his face with one end.

Upon seeing that he had woken up, the shrine maiden quickly retreated.

"I am..."

He murmured to himself and slowly sat up.

The surroundings were no longer the dilapidated scene from before. The shrine in front of him was clean and tidy. A gentle breeze blew the wind chimes on the eaves, making them tinkle. A little blonde girl with strange long horns was fast asleep on the roof, holding a gourd in her hands. The shrine maiden in front of him looked at him with some worry, as if she was thinking about how to deal with it.

"Where is this?"

He covered his head and asked, bewildered.

The shrine maiden raised an eyebrow and replied softly, "Gensokyo."

As soon as he finished speaking, background music started playing, the camera zoomed out, and the smooth footage began to flash.

Inside the luxurious red mansion, a blue-haired little girl sat on the throne, looking down at the sky with disdain. Behind her stood a graceful silver-haired maid, respectfully holding a plate of bright red tea and snacks.

In the endless sunflower field, a green-haired woman holding a parasol strolled slowly through the flower field. She looked up at the sunlight and smiled faintly.

Deep within the secluded bamboo forest, rabbits were methodically processing medicinal herbs. A woman with braided hair and wearing a Bagua-style robe was talking to a girl with rabbit ears. Further in, the flames of the phoenix suddenly exploded.

In a cherry blossom-colored courtyard, a pink-haired princess was happily eating, while the gardener beside her looked at his wallet with worry.

The human village, the mountain of monsters, the forest of magic...

Scenes flashed by, until finally settling on a misty lake.

Cute fairies frolicked by the lake, the thick white fog obscuring the view.

Drops of ink fell from the sky, splashing ripples on the lake's surface.

The black ink smeared in the lake water and soon formed the logo of Gensokyo.

Soon, an ice-blue fairy flew across the sky, and the ripples it created scattered the logo again, causing it to disappear into the lake.

The screen gradually darkened, and a line of text emerged from the darkness.

'Project Gensokyo, officially launched'

Chapter 283 You really dare to say that!

As the PV ended, two shocked expressions with their mouths agape were reflected on the black screen.

Before the live stream, neither Sirin nor Alice knew the content of the PV; they only heard from Ayu that there would be a big surprise.

Who would have thought that this surprise would be a little too much...?

Because of Ayu, Ai Li often enjoys playing games with him. Xi Lin, being a well-known game streamer, naturally understands just how exaggerated the meaning of this PV is.

The live stream chat froze for a moment, then burst forth like a flood.

No, no, wait, what did I just see?? No, my head's spinning...

[I hereby declare that this is the biggest promise made this year... no, in the history of gaming, bar none!!!]

I admit my voice might have been a bit loud just now, I'm kneeling down in gratitude...

[Pokémon, RPG, mecha FPS, pixel art... My god, how much has this guy prepared? I thought we were done for a month, but it turns out he's going to make something this big? Is his production capacity sufficient?!]

[Fun fact: Gensokyo has just expanded its recruitment. Because there are so many applicants, some interviews are still ongoing. The company's headcount has more than doubled, greatly increasing productivity.]

[Wow... Aside from that pixelated little game, every single scene in it feels like it could be a AAA title on its own. No, this is going a bit too far.]

Is this old fox declaring that he's monopolized all the awards for the next decade?! And he's so openly displaying all the elements, completely unafraid of being targeted—so arrogant! But I love it!!

At this moment, I feel I must risk my life for Gensokyo... From this day forward, I am the most steadfast guardian of Gensokyo!!

【Phantom Guard +1】

【Phantom Guard +1919810】

【...】

Xilin's face flushed red, and she slowly took a few breaths to calm her excitement.

"Listen to me, don't rush."

She coughed and said seriously, "This is just a promotional video after all. The game in it is still in its early stages, and we have no way of judging its final quality. It's not a good idea to open champagne halfway through!"

Ellie looked at Sirin with some surprise, as if wondering why she could say such a thing.

The comments section thinned out, filled with confusion as people stared at the pufferfish. Just as they were about to question whether Sirin had been possessed, Sirin's tone suddenly changed.

She stopped pretending, her expression almost frenzied with excitement.

"But if the chief designer is added to the list of those old thieves, Nangong... I can be sure the result will definitely surprise us!!!"

She raised her little hand like a devout believer: "Because that old thief has never let us down, so... let's pop the champagne!!!"

My husband is the best in the world!!!

She screamed frantically in her mind.

If anyone has unwavering and absolute trust in Nangong Yu, the girls in the family would certainly be at the top of the list.

Ellie couldn't help but laugh, and the comments section erupted again.

[Alright, alright, so you're going to play it this way... But the pufferfish is right, it's time to welcome the old thief back to his throne!!]

[Le, so this is the old thief's mobile pedestal, huh?]

[Look at what you guys are saying, it's like that old thief has descended from his pedestal. Ever since he created Pokémon, that pedestal has been welded shut beneath his feet!!]

[Wuhu, pop the champagne!!!]

[Damn it, why did I have to see this PV? I feel like ants are crawling all over my body, I'm going crazy!]

[The players are like this: the old fox only needs to make grand promises, but when to deliver those promises, and when to get desperate—that's a lot more for the players to consider.]

The formula for the grooves is really quite complicated.

【...】

The live stream room went crazy like this, not to mention the online buzz.

After being quiet for more than a month, Gensokyo made a move with lightning speed. In less than half an hour, the top ten trending topics were completely overshadowed by other topics. Clicking on more, Gensokyo occupied more than thirty of the top fifty trending topics, which was terrifying.

This PV isn't just a bomb in the gaming world; it's a nuclear bomb that can send everyone reeling.

One Pokémon game has almost suffocated other game companies. The current situation is like Nangong Yu rushing into the ring, waving to the audience with one hand behind his back, and proudly shouting, "I'll take on ten of them!!"

While everyone was still only revealing bits and pieces of information, Gensokyo slapped everyone across the face, leaving them stunned.

For example, Anti-Entropy Entertainment, the nominal superior of Gensokyo.

Since the announcement of the Virtual Technology Industry Expo, they have been releasing information to whet people's appetites.

Since this was their first time making a virtual reality game, Anti-Entropy Entertainment opted for a relatively conservative racing genre.

Houmu Racing, inheriting the essence of many racing games on the market, is a fun-oriented game and also a trial project of Anti-Entropy Entertainment.

Every day, I post some racing car design drawings, and every now and then I post some map ideas and model designs.

Nangong Yu also paid attention to it. Looking at this Houmu Racing, he felt that it was somewhat similar to Mario Kart from his previous life. If it were really made, it could definitely be called a blockbuster game suitable for all ages.

However, the release of the Gensokyo PV completely stole all the attention from the gaming community, even causing the big brother (referring to the game's creator) to be inexplicably slapped in the face.

Just minutes after the Gensokyo PV was released, Anti-Entropy Entertainment's official account also reposted it.
