Pokémon, but cultural invasion.

The door cannot be opened from this side; entry is not permitted without permission.

She continued wandering around the farm, but as she approached the tilled fields, three options unexpectedly popped up.

Harvesting, watering, and pest control.

The last two options are understandable, but what does "picking" mean?

How could she, an outsider, reap the fruits of the farmer's labor?

The game has selected a live streaming mode, so the navigator's page is hidden from viewers.

They didn't know who the farm owner was.

"This game even allows you to play online with your navigator's friends, so you can farm together."

"Other games involve fighting side by side, but farming together sounds like a lack of ambition."

"Am I the only one who wants to see what happens during the harvest?"

A serious conflict has arisen between the simple folk customs and curiosity: Does stealing vegetables in the game count as stealing vegetables?

While the audience was brainstorming, Kiki had already made her choice.

If she had hesitated before, the moment she saw Rika's name, Kiki understood everything.

Someone sneaked out!

Her development far exceeded her age; only starting to play at an earlier age could have achieved that.

'Don't blame me, Rika. Since Izumi has added the vegetable-stealing feature, it means it's part of the game content.'

As the button was pressed, Ditto's hand reached into the orchard, causing the plant branches and leaves to tremble and something to fall.

[Received: Blueberries*3, Chili Peppers*3, Corn*3]

With the original yield of blueberries (20/20) reduced to (19/20), the farmer's profits did indeed decrease.

A serving of blueberries costs fifty Pokémon at the Money Spirit General Store.

Qi Shu counted on his fingers and realized what a profitable business it was, with zero investment and huge returns.

This is only what I got from stealing vegetables from three plots of farmland. If I stole the entire flower field in front of me...

"Hello, is this Officer Jenny from Niangguang City? Aren't you going to do anything about your guild owner robbing people?"

"If this game doesn't have penalties for stealing crops, it's practically encouraging that behavior."

"What if I'm worried about my crops being stolen in casual games? Will I still be able to enjoy playing casual games?"

Qi Shu clicked on the same plot of land again with the mouse, but this time no harvesting option popped up, indicating that the number of times he could steal crops was limited.

However, such a large harvest garden in front of her was definitely enough for her to steal.

The ruthless bandit, the strange tree cricket, entered the sea of ​​flowers like a wolf among sheep, frantically stealing vegetables.

The crops in the backpack increased at a visible rate, and the viewers in the live chat became excited.

"I have a bold idea: I'll steal vegetables instead of growing them. I'd rather steal from everyone in the world than let everyone steal from me."

"Why is the streamer so relentlessly exploiting a single sheep?"

Qi Shu glanced at the comments and said seriously, "I have an obligation to experience all the game content since I participated in the trial. Stealing vegetables was not my intention. Good kids, please don't follow my example."

Despite saying that, Ditto's hands didn't stop, and his backpack quickly became bulging.

"I was so angry at the streamer I laughed. How am I supposed to beat an invincible three-dimensional defense?"

"Then let me ask you this: if your friend is watching you online, would you steal or not?"

"I've sent you a friend request from the streamer. Please accept it. Of course, I'm not here to steal your vegetables."

"Theoretically speaking, with so many viewers, wouldn't it be possible for them to steal all the vegetables from the streamer's farm?"

The malicious "vegetable stealing" mechanism has caused a huge uproar.

As the Tree of Life manipulated Ditto to leave the farm, it slammed a large bag of crops onto the Money Spirit's table.

A smile of hard work leading to prosperity appeared on her face.

After buying some bait at the grocery store, Qishu rushed off to the beach to fish.

When I returned to town with my catch, I realized that I already had the money to buy the pretty clothes I had my eye on.

After browsing through many options, I stopped by the light show at the Shaking Spot Bar as night fell.

By the time Qishu returned to his island, it was already late at night.

On the way back to the cabin, clusters of bluish-yellow light danced in the grass on both sides.

The insect nets I bought during the day came in handy.

Ditto ran clumsily, waving its bug-catching stick, and one by one, the light orbs fell into its bag.

[New Record: Jibuqu firefly, 9.2mm]

[Donating a museum to Mayor Nighthawk will yield a precious gift in return.]

Thousands of viewers gathered in a live stream room to watch the game's Ditto catch fireflies.

It's a strange thing to talk about it, but it really happened.

"In an era dominated by fighting, killing, and games where the winner takes all, there is an anomaly who farms, fishes, and catches fireflies."

"My childhood of catching insects in the countryside is gone forever."

"Why did I feel a long-lost sense of nostalgia for a game with no storyline?"

"As a casual game, isn't the game content a bit too much?"

It's more than just rich; it's an ultimate Frankenstein's monster, a fusion of multiple games, with an astonishing depth of gameplay to explore.

Qi Shu was secretly alarmed. She played from eight in the morning to six in the evening and still managed to discover new ways to play and new content every time.

Just how much stuff has been crammed into Tingxiang, this tiny island?

Chapter 82 Making games requires conscience

Ten hours have passed since the live stream started.

Aside from the time spent eating and drinking, Qishu devoted almost all his time to game live streaming.

Strangely, she did not feel sleepy or tired at all.

If you were playing "Saltstone Treasure", Qishu felt that he would most likely be exhausted, and might also experience symptoms of shortness of breath and chest tightness.

But this game doesn't have that.

Qi Shu tried to think about the difference, and she thought that perhaps "Sing Island Story" stripped away any design elements that might make people feel anxious.

There is no mission system, no objectives for completing the game, and no time limits on how much assets to accumulate or how many areas to explore.

It's as if the protagonist came to this island simply to farm, fish, catch insects, and run a farm.

The plot only briefly explains why Ditto returned to the island and the town that exists on the neighboring island.

This reminded her of the first two letters.

Grandfather hopes that Ditto can escape before being overwhelmed by modern life and return to the island to start a new life.

Mayor Nighthawk hopes that Ditto will continue to run the farm and maintain good neighborly relations with it.

Compared to grand narratives that often involve saving the world, this game's premise is so simple it's almost rudimentary.

Here, players are not heroes eager to embark on a journey, nor are there powerful enemies to defeat.

Therefore, the game can start without any tutorial, allowing players to explore on their own.

Ultimately, all players will face is an abandoned farm.

Actually, Qishu didn't expect her to play for so long.

After catching fireflies, she was about to log off when she discovered an injured Pikachu in the shadows of the bushes.

After finding herbs to cure the illness, the special ability [Electricity Generation] allows the abandoned streetlights to light up again.

The farm is pitch black at night, and Qishu thought he might as well take the opportunity to fix the surrounding electrical system with Pikachu.

To obtain the copper and iron materials needed for the repair, she built a furnace to attract the little charcoal boys.

The bright moonlight streamed down from the ceiling of the wooden house, and the strange tree that was building the furnace realized that the Pokémon on the farm also needed a place to live.

She initially built a small, square house using the clods of earth she dug out.

Unfortunately, it felt like Pokémon were in prison, so the program was cancelled.

Only by using wood processed by flying mantises to build the wooden house could the appearance of the strange tree be satisfied.

Other Pokémon readily moved in, but one Tribeca was unwilling to move in with its companions.

The sweet honey brewed by the three bees could fetch a good price in the small town, so she took it very seriously.

By subtly probing the Ditto, one learns that the reason for its unhappiness is that it was rejected by three wild bees after expressing its love for them.

Qishu never imagined that one day he would have to solve the love needs of Pokémon.

She had no choice but to find a nice scarf and put it on the three bees to encourage them to charge forward for love one more time.

Unable to rest easy, Qi Shu secretly followed them to watch.

With her velvet blue scarf, the three bees stood out from a crowd of suitors and won the heart of the heterochromatic three bees.

Under the moonlight, two bees flew together into the depths of the forest, showing no intention of returning to the farm.

Qishu finally laughed in exasperation.

Enraged, she picked up an insect net and caught a lot of stag beetles clinging to the tree trunks.

Several times during the process, the live stream could have ended, but it was delayed by other things.

For example, if crops are about to mature, Qishu feels it would be a waste to go offline without planting new plants.

In short, for various reasons, the live stream lasted much longer than she expected.

"After ten hours of continuous streaming of casual entertainment games, I declare Qishu to be a superman."

"At first, I didn't mind watching streamers play games, but now I'm getting more and more itchy to play myself."

"So far, all three games made by Quanshu have a unique style. As a tired uncle approaching forty, this is undoubtedly my favorite."

"Even though we packed a lot of stuff onto the island, it didn't feel bloated. I really love the unexpected surprises that seep in little by little during the trip."

"Speaking of which, is it the game's release date in another hour?"

Viewers who followed Kiki through the live streams weren't particularly eager to play the game when they discovered that Kiki's new work was really just a farming game.

They believe that watching livestreamers experience idyllic rural life is not much different from actually doing it themselves.

Besides, what's the point of farming? It's nothing more than a cycle of harvesting and cultivating.

That was their initial thought, but as more and more game content was revealed, especially the vegetable-stealing gameplay and the highly free block building, the players had their own ideas.

Keep reading, and you'll want to play more and more.

The game offers a rich variety of content and gameplay, ensuring that all players can find something that interests them.

They waited for the clock to strike eight o'clock at night, eagerly awaiting the release of new games on the Gear platform.

When the icon for "Sing Island Story" appeared on the purchase list, players excitedly clicked on it, only to discover something unbelievable.

The game costs nothing to purchase.

"What's going on? Is there a bug in the gear platform?"

"Did I accidentally click on a pirated copy?"

"Production studio: Tingxiang, did you read that right?"

The game's pricing was never mentioned in the promotional materials, and only two days passed between players learning about the new title and its release; no one had time to process it.

This game is free?

In an era where games are either bought outright or pay-per-play, free-to-play games often mean poor production quality and a lack of content.

However, players who watched the game demo livestream found that "Star Island Story" had absolutely nothing to do with the eight characters mentioned above.

They were completely baffled, and the only explanation they could think of was that Quanshu was doing charity work.
