I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

"Hasn't the Seven Stars of the Eastern Empire always been like this? Old Deng should have been rolling in gold coins long ago."

"Sigh, they were so confident that they would make an open world, but they ended up making this kind of hybrid mess."

"This game was launched before the third closed beta test was even over. It was too rushed. It's no wonder there were problems."

"It's just to follow the trend of 'Gen-X'. It's hilarious that a long-established company like Donghuang Qixing is now being completely outclassed by a new company."

"Capital, alas, capital."

After playing for 5 hours, Teacher Gou finally finished his business.

After the broadcast ended, he opened the chat with his sponsor, drenched in sweat, only to find a message from them:

"What kind of attitude is this for such an important order? The computer configuration is so poor, it's full of bugs."

"Are you deliberately trying to smear our game?"

"We do not recognize this effect, and we will definitely deduct money from their pay."

When Lao Gou saw this comment, he was so angry at the jerk of the client that he almost fainted on the spot.

What kind of incredible thing is this? You actually believed my attempt to save face for you guys?

Doesn't the person in question have any idea whose fault it is?

Teacher Gou immediately and carefully carved out a line of words, and then carefully deleted them.

Finally, he sent only one word:

"Row."

There's no way around it; we can't afford to offend the Seven Stars of Donghuang.

They'll be relying on food from now on.

After sending the message, Teacher Gou immediately opened the live stream again.

He had just finished his broadcast, and many viewers were still watching with the screen black in the live stream. They were all surprised to see him come back online.

"What's wrong, Lao Gou? Didn't we say goodbye?"

"A feint?"

Teacher Gou didn't answer, but silently opened the folder and dragged out "Original Demon".

"Genduel, activate!"

Chapter 388 Explosion on the Spot

Upon opening the original, Teacher Gou had only one feeling:

Cool!

It felt so good I couldn't breathe!

The loading speed, the rendering precision, the smooth feel, the light! The water!

He hadn't realized how smooth the game was when he played it before, but after returning from "Yi Jianghu", he suddenly discovered that "Yuanmo" was incredibly smooth.

Actually, he doesn't like anime-style big-headed dolls. The art style of Genshin Impact doesn't appeal to him at all. When he first started playing Genshin Impact, he didn't think the open world was particularly well done.

But after playing "The Otherworld" he understood!

Even the most beautiful woman needs an ugly woman to set her off; Qiu Xiang's beauty only comes through a bunch of supporting characters!

Both are open worlds; in "Yi Jianghu," you can climb walls, run, jump, and swim.

However, the opening of "Yi Jianghu" is completely different from the opening of "Yuanmo"!

There is no route planning, no path design, and not even a function to escape being stuck.

It feels like it's just a regular MMO game, except you can crawl and swim in it.

However, the map is large and empty, with no layering design except for towns, and climbing is discouraged, making running faster than traversing the map.

Since the functions in the game are all separate and there is no interaction, what is the point for players to run, jump, and climb?

The point of openness is to entice players to explore, but this game is, to put it nicely, a half-finished product, and to put it bluntly, it only has pay-to-win content. Exploration is useless, so it can't be truly open to all players.

To put it bluntly, this is a pseudo-open world!

Mr. Gou's tastes had long been spoiled by various masterpieces, so when he played "GenDemon," he didn't think it was anything special. He just thought it was indeed amazing compared to domestic manufacturers.

He had seen the recent online debates, which gave him the illusion that domestically produced games were finally doing well.

After playing with it, it was completely smashed!

Domestic games are still the same old thing, nothing's changed! Only Beichen has managed to surpass them!

After internally ranting for a long time, Teacher Gou finally calmed down.

Actually, if you think about it calmly, the designers of Donghuang Qixing aren't all idiots.

How could they start making this type of game without even understanding the most basic elements of an open world?

The root cause of this situation in the game is probably because—it has too few characters!

In Genshin Impact, you can field many characters at the same time. Each character's skills are simple, but when combined, they can create a variety of reactions and possibilities.

But "Yi Jianghu" doesn't have this design.

"The Otherworld" relies purely on various moves.

At first, the protagonist learned various moves that involved manually executing combos, and Gou Laoshi even got a little into it.

However, after the pay-to-win system was introduced, things changed.

他用游戏福利送的三十连，抽出一个金色功法，从此揍人就是一键三连，再也用不着搓招了。

It was really fun at first, but after a while, the gameplay became formulaic.

Pull the monster, use the golden technique, pull the monster again, and use the golden technique again.

Ninety percent of the damage came from the golden technique; he didn't even need to perform any moves.

He started to get sleepy towards the end; it was too boring, and he didn't enjoy the initial combos as much.

But he couldn't possibly switch back and start using low-level skills to create combos again. Wouldn't it be foolish not to use a golden technique he already possessed?

Feeling conflicted, Teacher Gou became increasingly contradictory as he played.

In short, this game gives the impression that, in the beginning, the game designers wanted to make a fun game.

But after finishing it, I realized it wouldn't work; there were no pay-to-win elements. So I forcibly added things like golden cultivation techniques and golden weapons...

Once these are stuffed inside, all the previous complex action designs are rendered useless.

After returning to Genshin Impact, Gou started the main quest, and his gameplay finally returned to normal.

There are no fancy light-footed skills, no various kinds of techniques.

Some only have the simplest and most straightforward operation, and are exceptionally smooth and fluid.

Returning to Genshin Impact, Gou realized that the details in Genshin Impact were so well done, with no clipping issues and natural, non-stiff movements.

In contrast, "Yi Jianghu" suffers from severe clipping issues, the characters are often too terrifying, and the running distances and strides don't match up.

It's not that "Yi Jianghu" is a bad game. If it had been released before "Yuanmo", he wouldn't have thought much of it, and might even have spent money on it.

But with such excellent examples already set, he simply wouldn't be able to play this kind of game again.

They are those who could have endured darkness if they had never seen the light.

……no.

Recalling the torment he experienced while playing "Yi Jianghu," Teacher Gou looked completely worn out.

Teacher Gou, looking weary, opened the card-drawing interface, stared at the screen for a while, and suddenly exclaimed:

"What...what is this? It's so cute!"

In the picture, a little girl resembling Little Red Riding Hood is smiling brightly, instantly healing Teacher Gou's weathered look.

He opened the character preview interface and saw the bouncy little girl; his heart melted instantly.

"What is this? So cute! I want to punch her!"

At this moment, a barrage of comments flooded the screen:

【What?! Disgusting! Me too? Oh, never mind then.】

[Confirmed case of a streamer with a fetish for young girls; I've already called the police!]

[Please cherish your livestream room and refrain from openly displaying sexual activity during your stream.]

……

Teacher Gou, her face flushed, retorted, "What 'lolicon'? That's a really harsh way to put it. Can raising a daughter be called 'lolicon'?..."

After he finished speaking, he started drooling over the screen again.

"Hehehe, Klee, hehehe..."

It doesn't look fake; it feels real.

Now the viewers in the live stream are really starting to worry about Teacher Gou's mental state.

"Start drawing! Wait a minute, draw after you finish the mission," Teacher Gou said, "otherwise you'll think I'm after the little girl's beauty."

The live chat started flooded with comments: "Aren't you one?"

Teacher Gou paused for a moment, then said, "I'm a little tipsy right now. I might not want to smoke anymore after I finish the mission and calm down, which will save me money."

While talking to himself, Teacher Gou opened Klee's legendary quest.

30 minutes later……

"Draw! Draw, draw, draw! I want to draw until I have a full life!"

"What's so intoxicating? If you love her, you have to give her the best. I'm going for it! No regrets! Watch how many shots I get!"

Another 5 minutes later...

"The backup plan didn't go as planned, but it's okay, I still have Xingqiong, don't panic..."

Another 5 minutes later...

"Why did I get the maximum guaranteed reward?!"

Another 30 minutes later...

"..."

Teacher Gou looked at the little red girl on the screen, feeling utterly hopeless.

800 pulls, finally got this little loli to max out her life.

His money, too, vanished with the wind.

A little empty.

He worked himself to the bone today on the commercial orders for "Yi Jianghu," and his pay had already been deducted; now it's all gone.

In other words, a day's work was for nothing.

Really. Teacher Gou sat there blankly. A little empty.

However, all unhappiness essentially stems from different perspectives.

Teacher Gou changed his perspective and suddenly realized that he had suffered all day, and then used the money he had spent on suffering to get healing from Ke Li.

Is there anything more worthwhile than this in the world?

It's worth it!

Teacher Gou perked up again.

Just then, Teacher Gou's phone rang.

I picked it up and saw it was from the sugar daddy.

Teacher Gou, unaware of the other party's intentions, answered the phone in a daze. The moment the call connected, the other end launched into a tirade against him:

"What are you doing? You took our business order, why are you playing Genshin Impact?"

Teacher Gou asked in bewilderment, "Sister, my business deal is already closed!"
