Chapter 137: Chapter 111: Pranks in Progress (Three Updates)_2
But as soon as he entered the game, his ID was recognized, and he was pulled up to the guest seats.
Sitting in the guest seat, Fang Cheng looked utterly bewildered.
Next to him, the game journalist Chen Rang was brimming with excitement, while a young camera guy, acting as the camera, squatted beside them.
Due to the game’s perspective, in a first-person game like “Botanic Garden,” it was convenient for a photographer to open the game and use their own screen as the interview footage.
It looked strange from another person’s perspective; this was a huge mental challenge for the camera guy, and someone might even take a screenshot and caption it with “When you feel your job is pointless, remember someone is acting as a camera in a game.”
“Today is our seventh Sprite Battle of Flora and Fauna. We have introduced all sixteen contestants, and we’re about to begin our competition! But before we start, please allow me to introduce our special guest, Mr. Fang Cheng from Fang Cheng Studio!”
After finishing the introduction, Chen Rang faced his idol, Fang Cheng, took a deep breath, pondered for a long time, and finally asked the question he most wanted to ask.
“Mr. Fang, I heard that Mukuai is about to become a permanent character in your studio’s game, what do you think about that?”
“I think creating facts through fictional news is illegal,” Fang Cheng said seriously.
“I’m sorry, I publicly apologize. Then, the next question, as a special guest, how do you feel?”
“It’s a public execution.”
“Mr. Fang has quite a sense of humor! Who do you think will win this time?”
“I just want to know if abusing plants is a crime?”
“Mr. Fang really is very humorous! Alright, let’s enjoy the competition. How would you prefer I interview you during the match?”
“The silent interviews are best for me.”
Having watched the players’ competition with a blank expression, Fang Cheng was at a loss for words.
Why do you think letting your Spirit Grass fight each other is such fun?
But I must admit, these players have raised their Spirit Grass well. The evolved forms look strong and dazzling, each with a remarkable appearance.
So, why use Spirit Grass to fight?
It felt to him like night pearls were meant to be admired, yet someone insisted on playing marbles with them. Fang Cheng couldn’t understand such a waste of splendor.
The competition was incredibly intense, with various battles between flora and fauna. The commentators, although amateurs, spoke clearly and wittily, making the obscure tactics understandable for everyone.
The outcome was even more thrilling, with one side pulling off a miraculous underdog victory that brought the audience to a climax.
After participating in the competition in a daze and then logging off in the same state, the next day Fang Cheng’s first order of business upon arriving at the studio was to find Wang Xiaoying and have her dig up recent reviews of “Botanic Garden.”
[5, 6, 5, 6, 5.]
[Not bad, worth raising.]
[Thanks.]
Even though it was a game he had created, Fang Cheng found he couldn’t understand the content players were discussing.
After looking through the previous discussions of the players, Fang Cheng realized that they were all having a great time. Every player had nothing but praise. It seemed that the compliments were almost free-flowing, and it made him deeply feel that they were not playing the same game he had made.
“Botanic Garden” had even become a cultural phenomenon, with every player thoroughly enjoying themselves and all eagerly anticipating the next chapter.
After all, “Botanic Garden” was just the first chapter of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” and nobody knew what content the subsequent chapters would include.
But they knew Fang Cheng Studio wouldn’t let them down!
After reading all these comments carefully, Fang Cheng was utterly baffled.
Sitting at his desk, he began to ponder the root of all these issues but found it more confusing the more he thought about it.
It felt like just making an ordinary game, so why had it turned into what it was now?
With a helpless shrug, Fang Cheng decided to put those unpleasant thoughts aside and started to think about what game to make next.
However, soon after, Wang Xiaoying sent him a message: “Boss, Dimensional is planning on hosting an event, do you want to participate?”
“Dimensional, huh...”
Over at Dimensional, “Quiet Cultivation” competitive matches were taking place.
Initially, everyone played quite cautiously, but as they grew more familiar, various attention-grabbing antics emerged, making the competition, originally scheduled for half a month, unexpectedly extended further.
But since it was a competition meant for entertainment, extending it a bit was no issue. The amassed material could lead to better show effects, so Fang Cheng allowed it.
Moreover, now that he heard the other side wanted to include him in their shenanigans, Fang Cheng felt a bit interested.
If you guys like to fight so much, and I’m feeling a bit miffed, let’s all play together then.
So, with a smile, Fang Cheng replied, “Sure.”
Wang Xiaoying also breathed a sigh of relief and conveyed the message to Dimensional’s boss.
And when the boss relayed the news to the other participants, they also got excited.
They could finally see what the legendary Fang Cheng looked like!
They could finally involve Fang Cheng in their pranks!
