Type Moon, starting with body swap

If it were the Orange in the past, they would be quite disgusted with this kind of romantic behavior.

While this behavior isn't dangerous, it will undoubtedly significantly reduce her efficiency in pursuing results.

But if you think about the current situation carefully, it seems that it doesn't matter if it's faster or slower.

So why is she in such a hurry?

To her now, the rush to get the results didn't seem to mean much.

Looking at the couple playing with each other, as if emitting a beautiful scent, Orange's anxious heart gradually eased.

She no longer has any desire for roots or magic.

She doesn't have anything to pursue, right?

Kurogiri Kanko & Ryougi Shiki: "?"

The couple who were leaning against each other were surprised to see Orange, who was originally standing, suddenly sit down next to them and chat.

Aozaki Touko: "There's no need to look at me like that. Aren't you going to compete and punish the loser? I'll be the notary and record it for you. Whether you want to act as a lie detector or find out about the punishment plan, you can come to me."

Heitong Xianhu: "..."

Shi and I are being affectionate with each other, why are you joining in?

He looked helplessly at Orange who was sitting on the other side of the table.

However, looking at the other party's unusually peaceful smile, Hei Tong Xian Hu finally didn't say the words of refusal.

Ryougi Shiki: "Let's officially enter the game."

A cold voice came from the side.

Ryougi Shiki sat between the two of them, holding the handle in her hand, and rotating it to show Kuroto Kanhu the person she had made.

Short hair, red and black clothes, the initial item is a dagger.

That look really does give her a bit of Ryougi Shiki's vibe.

She clicked the button, and the circle in the lower right corner rotated to the top, and the game entered a new screen.

[5000/8000]

Volume 1: Chapter 158: Betting outside the game

[The familiar smell of wood lingers in my nose.]

【You wake up in an old house.】

[The glaring sunlight from the front brings the world's first malice.]

[Outside the window is a sky that looks like a work of art, while inside the room seems to be curled up a decaying body.]

[Celebratory sounds are heard from outside the door]

A singing female voice recites the narration.

In the picture, the pixel man lying on the bed opened his eyes.

Ryougi Shiki controlled the character in the game and climbed up from the old wooden bed.

"This opening is different from what I originally designed. In the original game design, the characters should wake up in a modern hotel. They can find a few magazines in the closet and trash can in the room and learn about the murder case. But now-"

Ryougi Shiki controlled the character and after a quick check, she found that there was nothing in the empty room.

In the end, she had no choice but to follow the narrator's instructions and leave the room.

Click on the door of the room to interact, the screen will go black and the scene will switch.

The game character came outside.

This is a village where a celebration is being held.

Ryougi Shiki: "Did you skip Chapter 1 and go straight to Chapter 2?"

The noisy celebration became louder and more magnificent as the characters left the room.

The celebration being held in the village is a ceremony to worship the gods.

Ding ding dong dong~ Ding ding dong dong~

Amid the loud sounds of gongs, suonas and drums, several big men came towards the crowd standing at both ends of the road, carrying the gods worshipped by everyone in the village on their shoulders.

A huge golden full moon hung high in the sky. A woman with long golden hair, wearing a red dress, and with dragon horns and a dragon tail, gradually approached and grew bigger as the big men arrived.

People on both sides of the road immediately put their hands together and prayed.

"With the blessing of Lady Ciyue, I hope I can have a better harvest this time when I go fishing."

"With the blessing of Ciyue Dragon Girl, my son's condition will improve."

"With the blessing of Lady Ciyue, my baby will grow up healthy."

"May the Ciyue Dragon Girl bless you, may the Ciyue Dragon Girl bless you, may the Ciyue Dragon Girl bless you..."

The game's style is still simple pixel style, but each NPC's prayer is different.

The pixels on their faces also underwent different changes while they prayed, vividly showing their respective moods.

The obvious sincerity, worry, desire, greed, expectation and other emotions can be fully seen with the naked eye.

Stepping into this place, it feels like you have really arrived at a lively celebration in the real world.

Kurogiri Xianhu: "Shiki, did you do this?"

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Ryougi Shiki.

Ryougi Shiki: "It's impossible if you think about it. I don't have the time to give every NPC different actions, different expressions, different lines, or even different voiceovers. It's simply..."

Aozaki Touko: "It's like a real world existing in the console."

Orange looked at the screen and took over Ryougi Shiki's words.

Aozaki Touko: "Kurogi, do you think this scene looks familiar?"

The puppeteer turned his head to look at Kuroto Kanhu and asked.

Kurogiri Xianhu: "That Elquet's fantasy materialized? It does look a bit like it."

It is impossible to forget what I have just experienced in recent days.

The characters when the other party was broadcasting live using their own abilities were as vivid as the NPCs today.

The painting composed of various expressions of these people made up of pixels can even be called art similar to the Qingming Shanghe Tu.

If it weren't for special abilities, Hei Tong Xian Hu really didn't believe that anyone could do all this in such a short time.

While the two were talking, Ryougi Shiki was already controlling the character's movements, and the three of them began to observe the NPCs in the game through the screen.

Each NPC has its own life, and when the player does not interfere, each NPC will perform similar but different behaviors according to its own logic.

Each NPC seems to have its own story.

At the same time, after trying, it was found that all items in the game can be interacted with. Even ordinary boxes on the roadside can be destroyed, and the contents will fall out directly after destruction.

All the props you can see can be put into the backpack, and can also be carried and placed.

To be honest, with the current level of development of the Touhou Project, it would take at least three to four years to make a game with this level of freedom, even if it is just pixel-based.

But now——

Aozaki Touko: "That's the power of magic, isn't it? Simple and efficient, like a miracle. But at the same time, there's no innovation. The mechanisms of all the items in this world are still the same ones designed by Ryougi Shiki. It's just that the original code has been extensively copied and refined."

The puppeteer spoke with a relaxed expression, but the current scene seemed to disappoint her: "As you said, Kurogiri, it's just piling up materials, without any substantial breakthroughs."

Hei Tong Xian Hu: "In reality, there aren't that many breakthrough gameplay methods. This kind of stacking of materials can already be called a super production."

To be honest, this game has successfully aroused his interest.

This pile of materials, this art, and these vivid NPCs are simply perfect.

If it weren't for Shiki's serious expression at the moment, Kuroto Kanhu would have wanted to snatch the other person's controller and play it himself.

Kurogiri Kanko: "Shiki, what are your plans next?"

Ryougi Shiki: "Let's talk to someone first."

The cool girl in kimono, feeling the slight excitement of her boyfriend beside her, began to control her character and walked forward, randomly selecting an NPC who was praying to interact with.

Click [Dialogue] and several boxes will pop up.

[Gift] I have admired you for a long time. I wonder if you can accept my gift? ]

["Convince" I think you're good-looking, why don't you come with me?]

[Question] What is the name of this deity? What is she responsible for?]

In order to clarify the situation, they naturally chose to ask the last question.

"You really don't know Ciyue Dragon Girl? She has been worshipped by our Yueyuan Village for generations. I've believed in Ciyue Dragon Girl since my grandfather. It's because of her blessing that our village has always had good weather and good harvests."

As he said this, the NPC villager took out a small knife from his pocket.

"Blood is the medium through which we communicate with Ciyue Dragon Girl. Through blood, the Dragon Girl will feel our sincerity."

The villager said this and shook the knife in his hand.

A frightened exclamation mark appeared above the game character's head.

"Haha, you look so scared, but that's just a habit from the past. Back in my grandfather's generation, everyone would make a small cut on their thumb and pray when the Dragon Girl arrived. But now, that method of prayer has been eliminated. People use the green sap provided by the Dragon Girl Cult instead of blood to pray to the Dragon Girl."

The NPC pointed to the nearby store.

"Yes, if you want to buy some, you can go there to buy the sap for prayers. It's very effective. The reputation of the Ciyue Dragon Girl is well-known. Okay, okay, you go first. I'm going to pray."

The NPC waved to the character controlled by Ryougi Shiki, then put his hands together and prayed to the approaching Ciyue Dragon Girl.

The chanting of prayers came from far and near.

Kurogiri Xianhu: "Shiki, have you created a character like Dragon Girl in the game?"

Ryougi Shiki Group: "Yes, but she was originally supposed to be called Dragon Girl Jiu Niang Wu. Her current image is different from what I imagined. Dragon Girl is a real deity of the sea. Her true appearance is actually a giant octopus similar to Cthulhu."

The cold girl said this, pointing to the screen where the statue of the dragon girl, which was being held by everyone and exuded a holy aura, was located.

Ryougi Shiki: "An ancestor of a man in this coastal fishing village saw Cthulhu sleeping in the sea while fishing. His spirit was influenced by him and he began to worship him. After returning to the village, he carved a statue of him."

Ryougi Shiki: "The statue was originally supposed to be a monster with tentacles. Because it was so effective, countless people knelt and worshipped it. In the beginning, blood sacrifices were even offered. However, as time passed, generations of people copied and carved it. Each copyist added their own interpretation to the reproduction, and they instinctively modified the terrifying monster into something more graceful."

Ryougi Shiki: "Thousands of years later, people today have forgotten the original appearance of the Ciyue Dragon Girl. Under the erosion of time, the statue covered with monster tentacles has become the holy dragon girl."

The cold girl pointed at the colorful ribbons wrapped around the back of Ciyue Dragon Girl on the screen, which looked like feathers.

Ryougi Shiki: "Those ribbons were originally supposed to be tentacles, but after thousands of years of human modification, they became what they are now."

Hei Tong Xian Hu: "So, what these villagers are actually worshipping is the giant octopus from the Cthulhu mythology?"

Ryougi Shiki: "Originally it should have been, but now I'm not sure."

Hei Tong Xian Hu: "What do you mean?"

Ryougi Shiki: "The Dragon Lady in my design has become the Ciyue Dragon Lady. She is more feminine than what I designed. Also, there is no tradition of the Dragon Lady communicating with people through blood."

Communicating through blood, just the sound of it makes people think of something evil.

Hei Tong Xian Hu: "With such a big change, it seems that Ci Yue Long Nu is the real person. Let's go check out the store that the NPC mentioned, which sells blood substitutes?"

Ryougi Shiki: "I'm already taking action."

On the screen, while Kurogane Kanko was speaking, Ryougi Shiki was already controlling her character and walking towards the place that the fisherman NPC had just mentioned where green plasma for sacrifices was sold.

Ryougi Shiki then purchased the corresponding "green liquid of unknown origin" from the NPC.

The dice interface appears on the game screen.

Click the handle and press the button in the center of the screen.

Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp

The dice begin to roll.

Because Ryougi Shiki didn't even consider the attribute of "broad-mindedness" when she created the character, their appraisal this time naturally failed.

The player was unable to obtain the corresponding information from the "green liquid of unknown origin".
