Chapter 477: Where’s the huge system I put here?

Translator: 549690339

It’s been a long time since he’d spent money on in-game purchases, so Chen Mo was a little excited when he turned on the virtual screen.

In terms of story and coding, his current ability was enough to adapt most of the games in his previous life. However, he was still lacking in some other aspects, such as professional knowledge, art, music, and so on.

The attributes were already at the maximum for the second stage. Although the plot was still a little off, it would be done soon.

What Chen Mo wanted more was some technical books and special equipment.

When Chen Mo saw the magnificent Tang at the annual videogame awards, he had the idea of making the Assassin’s Creed series.

Imagine how cool it would be for an assassin to leap over roofs and vault over walls in a VR game, find his target, kill him with one strike, and blend into the crowd to avoid being pursued.

He killed one person in ten steps and left no trace for a thousand miles.

Of course, Chen Mo also had the idea of porting Assassin’s Creed to China to make a new game, but that would definitely be after the classic Assassin’s Creed was remade.

Although there were many famous assassins in China, their characteristics were not prominent enough. There would be a lot of improvements and original content to make them in the game. Not to mention whether they were good or not, the players might not accept them.

In China, cultural adaptation had always been a sensitive area. Even though the audience and players usually didn’t seem to care much about history and culture, once there were any mistakes in the TV series or game, they would quickly pick them out.

Hence, the game designers were in a difficult position. Faithfully reproduce history, right? If the effect was not cool enough, it was likely that no one would play it. But what if he changed it? Some people would jump out and say that this was disrespectful to history and would lead the next generation astray.

Just like in King of Glory, if you made Li Bai into a cool assassin, people would say that you didn’t respect history. What else could he do? To turn Li Bai into a poet. You can kill people just by writing?

Besides, Li Bai was a swordsman in history. Otherwise, how could he write a poem like “killing a man in ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles”?

Also, when “King of Glory” made Jing Ke into a female character, it was criticized again. Even though it was said that it was based on historical fiction, the name was still changed in the end.

But look at mate, even King Arthur’s gender has changed to a woman and he’s still dating a good-for-nothing, but I don’t see any English people protesting? On the contrary, he was quite popular.

It was a bit of a pity, but that was the current situation in China. If one wanted to adapt and innovate the traditional culture and history of the game, they often had to bear a huge risk. If they were not careful, they would be cursed at.

Chen Mo had to be careful about this. In order to gain more experience and not cause too much controversy, it was better to start with the classics and foreign works in Assassin’s Creed.

Even if he didn’t make Assassin’s Creed: Origins, he could still make the Ezio trio, which was one of the classics in the Assassin’s Creed series.

However, one of the biggest difficulties for Chen Mo was the cultural heritage of the Assassin’s Creed series. For example, in Assassin’s Creed 2, it almost recreated the scenery of Florence at that time. Whether it was the architecture, the character service, or the story plot, it was all highly restored to the history.

This was not something that could be done just by traveling. One had to have a deep understanding of the entire European history and culture to be able to do it.

Of course, Chen Mo had other ways to do it without the bracelet. For example, he could hire some experts in Europe as special consultants and send people to Europe to do field research and use the potion to recreate the scenes in the game.

However, doing so would be troublesome and time-consuming, and there was no guarantee of the game’s effects.

“System, give me some effort. Give me some professional skill books about European history and culture. Also, open up the third stage for me. Muah.”

Even though the current draw still hurt Chen Mo’s heart, it was better than before. After all, he already had a few classic games in his hands. After releasing League of Legends and Overwatch on PC and VR respectively, these two games would provide him with a steady stream of income in the future. It would not be a big deal to get a few million from the lucky draw.

Chen Mo decided that no matter how much money he drew, he had to open the third stage!

As for whether there was a third stage or not? Chen Zhao was not sure himself. However, the points were already full, and the plot was about to start. There should be some special reaction after the draw was full, right?

I’ve topped up 50 million, draw!

Chen Zhao kept pulling the lever, and the three shafts started spinning.

In the end, he had only played it a dozen times before the virtual screen got stuck and a prompt box popped up.

Chen Zhao was confused. What was going on? Could it be that the third stage was about to begin?

It can’t be, right? It can’t be that easy, right? I haven’t even spent my 50 million yet, and you’re already opening it for me?

I’ve already prepared myself to throw in a few hundred million, but you’re firing me so easily?

Are you trying to make things difficult for me, Fat Tiger?

He carefully looked at the prompt on the virtual screen.

[Your attributes and story writing abilities have reached the second stage’s maximum value. Do you wish to activate the third stage?]

There were still two options below,[yes] and [confirm].

Chen Mo was overjoyed. Not bad, there’s really a third stage?

However, Chen Mo felt a little frustrated when he saw the chat window, because he knew that the entire system would change once he entered the next stage.

Just like when the second stage was launched, the items that could be drawn in the first stage were no longer available. Although there were still some items in the second stage, they were all enhanced versions and more expensive.

Obviously, if they entered the third stage now, they would not be able to get the items from the second stage. The ones that he had saved up were still there, but if he wanted to draw again, he could only draw the ones from the third stage.

Chen Mo wanted to close the chat so he could get some items in the second stage, but there was no close button!

Moreover, other than the dialog box, the entire screen was locked, and there was no response.

Chen Mo was speechless. Isn’t this forcing me to start the third stage? You didn’t even give me a chance to choose! I can’t even take things too hard. If I don ‘t, my bracelet will be stuck here?

He had no choice but to open it!

Chen Mo consoled himself, it’s a good thing I didn’t run into too many obstacles in the third phase, the system didn’t trick me, this is a good thing ...

A very cool dynamic effect appeared on the screen. The entire lucky draw system, which was similar to a Tiger machine, shattered into countless stars. Then, the image disappeared ...

It had disappeared ...

Chen Mo was confused. Where’s my system? Where’s the big system I left here?

You said you were going to enter the third stage, but why did you make my system disappear?
