Well, the popular learning style in Kivotos is self-study. Students generally schedule their own school hours. They can start and end school whenever they want, with little to no rigidity. So, you can always see students going to and leaving school on their own accord.

Even students have their own opinions and groups. In the morning, there are fewer students strolling around the streets, but in the afternoon, more people gather. Danrito and Miwa's time also happened to be in the afternoon, when the crowds are heaviest.

"Since you said so..."

Weihua stepped into the Trinity branch of Dream Games. A multitude of new games had already crowded the shelves. Compared to the initial shortage of just a dozen games, Dream Games now boasted dozens of different games and various game peripherals, completely filling up the already somewhat empty space, necessitating the creation of an additional trial area.

"Lots of interesting-looking promotional posters—Huh? Is this cassette...Trinity?"

By the time I walked in, I was already overwhelmed by the dazzling array of game cartridges. The large posters and promotional images were incredibly eye-catching, drawing in the attention of every customer. The main game cartridges currently featured were, of course, recently released titles.

“Trinity is a fantastic game to play – it’s a three-player puzzle action game.”

Danrito took the white cassette off the shelf. The screen showed three girls in different professional attire, working together to crack the cover of a level.

"—A puzzle game in which three players, each skilled in different fields, use their abilities to help their companions pass levels until they reach the final outcome."

"Three people..." Mika blinked, clapped her hands, and said happily: "That's right! Isn't this game suitable for me, Nagisa-chan, and Shengya-chan to play together? I want this!"

"Come to think of it, there are exactly three people at the tea party." Danrito didn't notice that the cassette he casually made just happened to fit the seats for the three people at the tea party. "That's quite a coincidence. I actually made this game just to fill in the gap between two and four..."

"Ah! And what is this?"

Mika's eyes lit up, and she ran over and picked up a new cartridge: "Is this... Doom?"

"Huh? You actually like this?"

Danrito was quite surprised. "I thought only those punks would like this kind of game. 'Doom' is a game about blasting and killing all the demons in hell. The main plot is very simple. It's just a game of using all kinds of violent weapons to veil demons... Huh? Why are you smiling so brightly?"

"Huh? Why are you smiling so brightly?"

When Danrito was explaining the new game "Doom" which was only released in his Trinity School district, Mika was only slightly interested at first, but after hearing the synopsis of the game, she was immediately attracted to it.

Danrito looked up and down at the sweetly smiling angel in front of him. "Could it be that... all of you angels are the type who are very interested in killing demons?"

"Angel? Demon?" Mika was stunned for a moment, moving the two small wings behind her. Then she suddenly realized, "Ah! Mr. Danrito, you mean the name passed down in ancient Trinity. At that time, the students of Trinity were indeed called 'angels'."

"And what about the devil?"

"That must be Gehenna's group of students." Mika's expression was still smiling. "The dispute between us and Gehenna has been going on for a long time. So if you ask me whether I dislike Gehenna, for me, I hate her very much."

"Do the other students at Trinity share your sentiments?" Danrito expressed confusion at the widespread dislike for Gehenna at Trinity. "If that's the case, then shouldn't anyone support the Treaty of Eden?"

"The treaty...ah, Mr. Danrito, are you talking about the treaty that Nagisa is preparing?"

Holding the Doom cartridge she had decided to buy, Mika turned around and said, "Actually, Nagisa-chan, who's currently working hard to push for the signing of the treaty, has received quite a bit of support."

"After all, after so many years of fighting, many people are tired and don't want to continue the hatred." Weihua pondered the comments of most people. "Although everyone feels that Gehenna is still unacceptable, they don't want to fight all the time. How should I put it... they are all tired of this fighting spirit, right?"

"Then listen...it seems like you don't have any deep hatred?"

Danrito crossed his arms, finding it difficult to understand Mika's inexplicable hatred for Gehenna. After all, for Danrito, whether he liked or disliked someone was purely a matter of business...at least for now, it was just business.

If someone can bring 100% benefit to Danrito, his favor towards him will skyrocket. On the other hand, those who hinder Danrito's career, prevent him from developing game cartridges, or even take away his projects are extremely evil and unforgivable!

Hmm? Who are you hinting at? Explicitly!

"In other words... Miss Mika, you hate Gehenna's students just because of historical issues?

"Really, Mr. Danrito, you might not understand, but historical issues are a very serious problem~"

Seeing that Danrito really didn't understand the entanglement between them and Gehenna, Mika didn't continue to explain in this regard.

"Although no one openly says they hate those horned demons, there are still quite a few students who secretly don't want to reconcile with Gehenna."

At this point, Weihua pinched her earlobe and said, "Well, the Treaty of Eden is indeed a very important event, even though everyone is a little dissatisfied with the signing of the treaty, thinking that it is a symbol of the tea party bowing to Gehenna..."

Having said that, Mika glanced around briefly, and when she found that no one paid attention to what they said, she said the second half of the sentence: "However, Nagisa-chan is pushing for the implementation and signing of the Eden Treaty, so her open dislike for Gehenna will be somewhat restrained."

"It seems like a boost in sales of 'Doom' cartridges at Trinity is just around the corner." Danrito nodded in satisfaction. "But if you think about it this way, won't 'Bayonetta' cartridges also be a big hit in the Gehenna school district?"

By the way, the "Bayonetta" cartridge was customized by Danrito based on the sales situation of the neighboring Gehenna school district. The original game is a game in which the protagonist, a witch, goes hunting angels.

However, it's said that most students who bought the game cartridges were drawn to the protagonist's aesthetically pleasing action and costume design, as well as the worldview presented by the plot. Few actually bought it for the gimmick of "Hunting Angels."

The so-called "angels" in the game cartridges were not the familiar Trinity students, but rather various tall, unfamiliar monsters. However, the feature of "birdmen with wings" was completely retained.

"What! Are there still Angel Hunter games for sale in the next school district?"

Mika looked at Danrito with a strange look in her eyes. "Selling a demon-hunting game in the Trinity School District, and selling an angel-hunting game in the Gehenna School District... Mr. Danrito, are you trying to start a fight between the two sides?"

"This is called hitting the customer's pain points. What do you know?"

Danrito reached out and took another card from the shelf. "But honestly, the sales of 'Doom' are just for fun at Trinity. If we really want to see the best seller, this is it."

The green cassette that Danrito took down had a picture of a group of happy students, some of whom were carrying fishing rods, and some were holding insect nets. It looked like they were participating in some kind of farm-style fun activity.

Mika looked at the cassette in Danrito's hand curiously: "What is this...?"

"This is the game that's been widely praised by students in every school district, whether it's Trinity, Gehenna, Millennium, or Abydos—everyone is praising it... Kivotos Friendship Days!"

"Morios?" Mika looked at the green cassette in front of her with surprise. "Is it the same as the 'Saints' Association' in the Holy Trinity legend?"

"Although it feels like what you said is something worth complaining about, and I haven't seen it either - but it's definitely not what you think!"

Danrito bluntly rejected Mika's explanation: "'Kivotos Friends' is a game designed with the students of Kiivotos as the protagonists. They start building their own uninhabited island on a deserted island."

"This is a heartwarming and fun game where the player plays as their own character on an uninhabited island created within the cartridge's game space, completing various activities. They can also visit uninhabited islands created by others."

"Hey~ That sounds great." Mika suddenly perked up. "Creating your own uninhabited island? Just imagining it is fun, but... can this little game cartridge really express something like that?"

"——Heh, are you doubting the functionality of my game cartridge?"

Danrito felt like he was being looked down upon, so he rolled up his sleeves and pulled Mika to the side, "Come on, today I have to show you just how powerful my game cartridge is!"

230. Dongwu Sunyouhui (not)

"Kiwotos Friends, start!"

In a corner away from the others, Danrito raised the green cassette and flipped the start switch. A beam of light enveloped him and Mika beside him. Then, the game field rapidly expanded, completely transforming the surrounding terrain.

"The world...has changed..."

Weihua looked at the scene in front of her in surprise. Around her, the Fantasy Game Store, which was originally composed of concrete walls and game cartridge shelves, gradually disappeared with the pixel lights the moment the game field unfolded.

Instead, the scent of green grass wafted through her nose, the air was moist after the rain, and the distant chirping of birds echoed through her. As the game field fully unfolded, Weihua found herself, without realizing it, in the midst of a lush forest.

"Each player's initial uninhabited island is randomly generated, and to ensure players don't get confused right from the start, the game thoughtfully provides several NPC students to guide players through the first steps."

Danrito grabbed Mika's hand and flew into the sky with her amidst her surprised cries.

"Wow! Fly, it's flying!"

Mika squeezed her eyes shut, her hand instantly wrapping tightly around Danrito's arm. While Mika, along with most of the other Trinity students, possessed wings on their backs, they weren't capable of flight. At best, they could be used for short gliding distances during long jumps. Mika had never truly soared, so her nervousness was understandable.

"Why are you closing your eyes? Open them."

What Danrito didn't explain was that, with administrator privileges, Mika could still stand in mid-air even if he let go of her hand. For now, he simply patted Mika's shoulder, prompting her to open her tightly closed eyes.

"Take a good look at this uninhabited island game created with the ultimate technology of Dream Games. The experience will be truly astonishing."

She first raised her eyelashes slightly, and then opened her eyes completely. When the scenery was completely in her sight, Weihua opened her mouth involuntarily, shocked by the virtual world in front of her.

In the distance is the endless ocean, and other islands dotted on the ocean can be seen. The island in front of him is the "official island" where Tan Lidou used the administrator's authority to directly call out various buildings.

As an official display map, its purpose is to draw people in. If you were to be dropped directly onto a deserted island with nothing, the difference would still be too big, so Danrito simply created his own account and let Mika experience the island with a maxed-out account.

"There are so many houses... Can they be built on an uninhabited island?"

Mika blinked. "And wasn't it said to be an uninhabited island? Why do I see so many students walking around? If I look closely, there are students from all the school districts!"

"Those are the NPCs in the game."

Danrito explained simply, "That's part of the gameplay. It lets you truly experience the isolation of an uninhabited island. You'd probably get bored after two or three hours. We've added a few intelligent NPCs controlled by AI programs. They'll also be your neighbors on this island, making the boring early pioneering life a little less tedious."

"Early stage?"

Weihua blinked. "I thought they were going to continue expanding on this basis. Wasn't it like this from the beginning?"

"If it's like this at the beginning, what's the point of playing it?"

Dan Lidou rolled his eyes at Mika with the same loving care he gave to someone with a mental disability: "In a deserted island expansion game, isn't the fun all in the initial stages of development?"

"Well, wouldn't pioneering be very tiring... and get your hands and clothes dirty..."

"It's all a game, so I'm sure it won't get your hands or clothes dirty! Come on, come on, play, and you'll find out!"

Taking Mika's hand, Danrito brought her to the center of the uninhabited island, at the entrance of a museum. Inside the museum were all the flowers, birds, fish, and insects that could be collected in the game. An intelligent NPC at the museum would help players decorate and organize the items, and players simply had to hand over the items they had collected from various locations to the NPC.

"In the early versions, the specialties and specimens that each player could collect on their island were basically the same. I thought that was too boring, so I added a lot of personalized elements to it."

Walking in the dazzling museum, Weihua looked around and touched things like a curious baby, especially in the marine life exhibition area, where she had a lot of fun.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Danrito! What is this weird-looking fish?"

"It's called a Sunfish. It has a sign on the bottom... but it's ugly."

Looking at Mika, who began to laugh at the sunfish's strange appearance, Danrito proudly introduced, "In this version of Kiwotos New Horizons, the various collectible items on each player's randomly generated uninhabited island are different, greatly increasing the fun of collecting illustrated books!"

Weihua tilted her head and looked at him: "Maybe it will make my obsessive-compulsive disorder even more manic?"

“…There’s always a way!”

After leaving the museum with a feeling of not having enough, Danrito took Mika to the shopping street he had built. While it was called a shopping street, it was actually just a street with several functional shops. In other words, if you're too lazy to create a neat shopping street, you could just scatter it into smaller shops.

"Food, clothing, furniture, and occasionally, black market dealers selling antiques. These shops can provide all the services needed to decorate an uninhabited island."

After all, it was just a program in the game, so the shopkeepers here didn't need to actually stockpile goods in their own stores. Even a small shop could be equipped with the legendary cross-time and space transport of goods. Therefore, every day you can see a variety of new products refreshed in the shops of these uninhabited islands.

Well, the question is the game mechanics!

"Eh~ I know it's fake, but it seems so real no matter how I look at it."

Weihua looked at the grandfather clock in front of her and said, "It would be great if I could put one of this grandfather clock in my real bedroom. The pattern on it looks so delicate, and the decoration is also in line with my taste."

Danrito was playing with the "Givotos New Horizons" in his hand. This game cartridge actually has more than just the ordinary game cartridge with a playable version. In view of the huge potential contained in this theme, Danrito is also actively researching the knight cartridge version of "Givotos New Horizons".

The inspiration for the Knight cartridge version of Kivotos New Horizons comes from Momo's "King of Cats." It was the first Knight game cartridge released in Kivotos, and it also contained a bit of Danrito's Billion Power.

A game cartridge that combines creation, repair, and destruction, and even a 'slight' grasp of the power of these rules, is rare to the extreme.

But how could ordinary cartridges withstand the creative power of Danri Doushin's Billion Cartridges? This remains a mystery. And the research based on this power has led to the unexpected creation of "Givotos New Horizons."

"We conducted a deeper study on the King of Cats cartridge and explored in depth how general game cartridges can withstand the power of creation."

Danrito held the cassette tape in front of his eyes. "The subject matter is crucial, too... but there seems to be a limit to how much we can improve on it. After all, these things can never surpass 'God's Limit X'. Well, it's fine as a fun little project."

"Danrito, Danrito! Is the food in this edible too?!"

Mika, who was in the distance, suddenly called out to Dan Lidou. She came running over, dragging Dan Lidou over with her, and pointed at the flying fish roe baguette slices and chocolate custard in the window: "I want to eat this!"

231. The one who died the fastest in Werewolf is probably Weihua (4k)

In the gaming realm, a product of the idealistic technology of this knight world, Danrito is capable of a wide variety of tasks. This includes creating food that would be difficult to mass-produce in real life. Danrito can guarantee that everything from appearance to taste is identical. However… aside from the ability of the Collapse Body to sustain itself with this, it's quite challenging for humans to fill their stomachs with a piece of data.

"The food produced in the gaming world is indeed edible... but if you want to really feel full, you still need to eat some real food."

In the gaming field, the taste of food can be simulated 100%, and you can feel the food when you put it in your mouth. Such a thing can even be used as a cheat meal in the field of weight loss. No one else can do it except Danrito to eat air to such a refreshing and unworldly level.

Mika thought about it, and then suddenly realized: "I can't eat enough... Does that mean I won't gain weight even if I eat as much as I want?"

"After all, the principle is just to make your brain feel that you have eaten, but your stomach still does not receive any nutrition, so it will not make you fat."

Danrito nodded, agreeing with Mika's idea. "But if you continue to immerse yourself in this state for a long time, your body's functions will not match the results of your brain, which will lead to serious consequences."

The brain thinks the stomach has eaten, but the stomach has not eaten. This strange and illogical situation will definitely be harmful to the body if it continues for a long time.

"Perhaps, when I recover to the point where I can generate physical objects from data, I'll be able to truly eat enough food in the game."
