Pokémon, but cultural invasion.

With an axe cleaving through chaos and reaching the heavens and the earth, Cynthia seemed to truly see a giant standing between heaven and earth, magnificent and awe-inspiring.

It's exhilarating.

[When heaven and earth were formed, Pangu collapsed from exhaustion. His breath became wind and clouds, his voice became thunder, his left eye became the sun, and his right eye became the moon...]

Pangu logged off so quickly that Cynthia didn't even have time to react.

In the mythological system compiled by Quanshu, the creator god died after creating the world.

She was speechless. As the origin of everything, shouldn't Pangu be as high above as Arceus?

The way he died was quite unique.

The eyes transform into the sun and moon... what a magnificent imagination.

Even though she was familiar with many myths, Cynthia was still amazed by his fantastical imagination.

Pangu's fallen body transformed into the sun, moon, and earth, laying the foundation for the world.

But life had not yet been born.

Cynthia couldn't help but wonder, if the creator died before life was born, how could this mythological system continue?

She frowned and turned to the next page.

Nuwa Creates Humans

Compared to the previous story, Nuwa creating humans was entirely Quanshu's own imagination.

Legend has it that Arceus created life, including Pokémon and humans, but the process of human birth was not explained in detail.

Nuwa molded humans from clay...and they multiplied into men and women to reproduce...

It seems that the idea of ​​being born out of thin air lacks a sense of reality, as the raw material of humans in this myth is mud.

Thinking of how vividly Izumi described the process of sculpting clay figures, Cynthia smiled.

It really does look like the real thing.

Turn the page for the sequel, "Nuwa Patches Up the Sky".

She then carefully read several myths, including Kuafu chasing the sun, Jingwei filling the sea, and Houyi shooting down the suns, etc...

Cynthia discovers that the myths imagined by Izumi Tree all share a common characteristic—they are centered on humans.

In contrast, myths in various parts of the world are centered around Pokémon, with almost no human involvement.

In the mythology imagined by Izumi no Kizuki, not only are there no Pokémon, but there is also the somewhat strange Kuafu chasing the sun.

The story of someone who died of thirst while chasing the sun.

At first glance, the meaning is unclear, but Cynthia has a vague sense that both Kuafu and Houyi are telling the same story—"Man can conquer nature."

These myths form a complete system and have their own distinct style.

Individually, it may not seem like much, but reading it in one go allows you to feel its unique atmosphere and the emotions it evokes.

Cynthia found it hard to describe the feeling, as if the existence of these stories was a matter of course.

Besides the already publicized myths, there are many gloomy sections with countdowns.

It seems that Izumi Tree plans to release a portion every now and then.

The sheer number of mythologies already revealed makes Cynthia wonder how long he has been preparing this mythology system.

Even if you sit at your desk every day and think about it, it would still take several months to come up with such a large number.

Each myth also includes a comment section.

Cynthia rubbed her brow, which had been throbbing from reading for so long, and turned to look at the comments below.

It's unclear what Izumi was thinking, but his people-oriented strategy seems to have worked.

"Pangu creating the world, don't you think that's cool?"

"I've asked all the major libraries, but I can't find out which place this myth comes from."

"I guess Director Izumi made it up."

"His breath turned into clouds, his eyes into the sun and moon—what a magnificent spirit!"

"Interesting myths are much better than some dry legends."

Why did Kuafu chase the sun? Just how tall was he to drink two rivers dry in one breath?

"The sun can be shot down with an arrow; it truly lives up to its mythical reputation."

"You're all discussing mythology, but I'm the only one wondering what Director Izumi is up to? Releasing so much information all at once, what kind of work is he planning to release?"

"Whether 'Journey to the West' is a game or a movie, the sheer amount of background information is enough to make any serious researcher swoon."

Clearly, in a world where myths are everywhere and people are tired of hearing them, it's more cost-effective to "cater" to human myths.

Even fictional stories are talked about with great interest.

Looking at the comments, all of which were overwhelmingly positive and without any doubts, Cynthia finally understood what that indescribable feeling was.

This series of fictional myths... they're so real.

It's so realistic it feels unnatural; it's hard to believe someone could accomplish something like this just through imagination.

Cynthia hesitated for a moment, then sent a message to the Navigator.

"Cabbage: Tell me the truth, Izumi, did you accidentally discover a large ancient ruin in Kanto?"

Please take one day off.

Updates will be normal tomorrow.

I have something to do today, and I also want to adjust my schedule and state of mind. I don't want to be in this district anymore.

Chapter 145 Pikachu Kill

The newly released "Journey to the West" section on the official website has sparked considerable discussion, but only among players who enjoy exploring the game's background.

This was within Izumi's expectations.

Most people don't have the patience to understand the vast and complex world of a game, and they'd rather keep clicking "skip" to skip it, regardless of whether the plot is deep or not.

Skipping the plot is like skipping life itself.

As for the background of the film, there is no need for the audience to actively learn about it. It is a basic skill of a good director to let the audience passively accept it by interweaving it into scene after scene.

So although the myths he wrote and uploaded were all magnificent and fantastical, their purpose was simply to catch the players' eye and enrich and embellish the background stories.

Once the movies and TV series are released, interested viewers will naturally take the initiative to learn about them, and bloggers who like popular science and debunking settings will also collect, organize, and explain them.

This makes the story's setting and plot easier for people to understand and accept.

With someone to debate the scriptures, Quanshu and the film crew can focus more on portraying the Journey to the West story well.

He closed the website and opened the game file sent by Digital Alloy.

Compared to the massive and complex Skylines, all werewolf-like games are incredibly computationally efficient to develop.

Digital Alloy produced the finished product that Quanshu wanted in just one week, which seemed like they were slacking off.

The idea of ​​a werewolf game with a "transfer" element was something Izumi had a long time ago.

On Earth, Werewolf is a party game that originated in the last century and has gradually become popular all over the world in just a few decades.

With the development of the internet, it merged with video games, creating a wonderful chemical reaction.

Despite the many variations that have emerged, werewolf-like games, in essence, still possess strong social attributes.

These kinds of games are often best enjoyed when played with friends.

Izumi's first thought was to summon a group of familiar owners; watching them scheme against each other would surely be very interesting.

Unfortunately, it could not be implemented due to various factors until recently when the time was right.

Quanshu clicks on the game itself, and on the loading screen, a group of innocent Pikachu appear, some even holding ketchup and sticking out their little tongues to lick it.

Mimic Hills are mixed in with the others, their two black, graffiti-like eyes casting malevolent glances, and the shadowy figures beneath their painted skins, capable of devouring souls, are stirring restlessly.

Among a multitude of werewolf-like games, the reason for choosing Goose and Duck Killer is actually quite simple.

Goose and Duck Killing has a low barrier to entry and doesn't require high logic, making it more suitable for ordinary players to relax and have fun.

Games are ultimately meant to make players happy, and it's not uncommon for people to try to balance entertainment and competitiveness at the same time, but the result is that they please neither side and are criticized from both.

Quanshu isn't greedy; he's content as long as he can focus on the social and entertainment aspects of a good game.

He stared at the orange figure running in the screen. After localization, calling it "Goose and Duck Kill" is no longer accurate; it should be called "Pikachu Kill."

After testing that the game runs normally, the next step is to decide on the gym leader.

Finding someone who has both high popularity and can produce natural program effects is not easy.

In addition, since it is a social game, it requires a very large number of players.

Izumi racked her brains to find ten people to choose from, but she had no choice, even with Rika included.

The dojo owner may have kept his gaming hobby private from the public out of consideration for information protection.

However, even among a bunch of champions and club owners, she wouldn't stand out.

Izumi asked Rika for her opinion on the navigator, and she agreed more readily than he had expected. He wondered if it was just his imagination, or if she was even a little impatient.

It's good that he agreed; he was too lazy to think about it further.

As for Xiaojuer and Lulina, some tricks have always worked, so Quanshu naturally used the same old tricks again.

"Lurina: Your new game really tests your logical thinking. Players have to play as Pikachu while finding the Mimikyu hidden among them to win, so it's quite competitive?"

"Thoughts flow like a spring: Yes."

"Lurina: Kiku, Kiju, and others will be attending, and even Champion Daigo accepted your invitation?"

"Thoughts flow like a spring: another inch."

Not long ago, Daigo took the initiative to add his navigator as a friend.

Since we couldn't gather enough popular members for the team, we tried inviting him, and it was a pleasant surprise that he agreed.

He conducted research shortly after he came into this world.

This Hoenn champion has a very low-key style, either digging for stones in the wilderness or on his way to dig for stones, and he is almost never in the public eye.

However, his polite and gentlemanly demeanor, along with his extensive knowledge, has made him extremely popular among women.

Daigo's involvement in the promotion can, to some extent, increase the audience and improve the gender ratio within the game's fan base.

"Lurina: Little Chrysanthemum actually accepted the invitation too. There are important model competitions before and after the trial event. It seems she doesn't take me, her competitor, seriously."

Quanshu felt a little guilty and didn't rush to reply.

Given the rivalry between Lulina and Xiaojuer, the possibility of them seeing through his verbal trap is extremely slim.

Even if the two sensed something was amiss, they wouldn't ask each other for confirmation—otherwise, wouldn't they be admitting to secretly competing with each other, thus lowering their own dignity?

What should have been a flawless and perfect plan, Izumi sensed danger at this moment.

"Thoughts flowed like a spring: Maybe I'm mistaken."

Not long after sending the message, he received screenshots of his chat history with Lulina from Xiaojuer.

"Little Chrysanthemum: Director Quan, your technique is quite clever. Lulina and I both fell for it the first time."

When Izumi's previous modus operandi was discovered, he was immediately embarrassed.

He never imagined that these two top idols would reconcile one day, and he was completely unaware of it.

Thoughts welled up: When did you two become so close?

"Little Chrysanthemum: It's not exactly good, but I have to thank Director Quan for the cooking competition you organized last time..."

One of the challenges in the Mischievous Kitchen was specifically chosen by Izumi to be completed by Kiku and Lurina.

The original intention was to create some entertainment value, to produce a scene where the two outwardly cooperate but inwardly compete with each other, which was quite amusing.

That collaboration became the opportunity for the two to get closer. Although the rivalry between their fan groups remained intense, their already strained relationship was greatly improved.

With tensions easing, some things can no longer be hidden.
