Chapter 151: Chapter 118 Silent Competition (Extra 2 for Boss Qiu)

The release of Tianyi’s “Dark Guardian” almost coincided with Fang Cheng’s “Dark Builder”.

The difference was that one came in with a bang, draped in a yellow robe, surrounded by stars that held it aloft like a child of destiny, bringing with it infinite power.

A host of live streamers recommended it, with paid posters disguised as haters and iron fans inciting conflicts wherever possible, stirring the game’s popularity with various topics.

“Dark Guardian” claimed to be a pay-to-play, delete-on-exit test, and just a first test at that, but its final performance indicated that it already matched or even exceeded the level of other games’ third or fourth tests.

A complete game system, a self-cycling game mechanism, excellent artistic expression, and 3D capabilities made this game possess points that were highly spreadable.

And its gameplay was also quite unique, with multiplayer cooperation, construction melded with a dark style, giving this game the strength to advance towards being a high-quality game.

Moreover, the game supported cross-platform data, with PC, Apple, and Android data all compatible, showcasing Tianyi’s ambition.

The profound foundation of a large company can be terrifying like this. Sometimes, saturating the company with game development can really create a miracle.

In contrast to the heavily marketed “Dark Guardian”, “Dark Builder” seemed very modest.

It released quietly, without a game license, just as a free game, not even available on the Steam platform.

The only official website provided a download link, but the whole site was made so cool that Fang Cheng could feel a strong sense of the future.

After chatting with Xu Qingling about the recent company situation, Fang Cheng returned to his seat after officially starting work.

Monkey had finished recording his show, which was set to air after the New Year. Although he kept the competition results confidential, the championship trophy on his desk made the outcome clear to everyone.

Because he had been absent for almost a month, he had a lot to catch up on.

During the lunch break, just as he was about to ask Huang Ping a question, he discovered that Huang Ping and Xiao Douzi’s actions were highly synchronized.

They opened the same cool website together, found the same game, “Dark Builder”, and decisively chose to download and start playing it.

Leaning next to Huang Ping, Monkey discovered that it was actually a pixel-style game.

After watching for a bit, he couldn’t help scratching his chin, his face drawing closer to the screen, almost sticking to it.

And Huang Ping, seemingly unaware of the need to block, tilted to watch the screen, also leaning closer and closer.

After a failed defense, Huang Ping couldn’t help sighing, but upon seeing he had broken through forty waves, he immediately cheered up, began drawing magical weapons, and pondered the special effects of the two new magical weapons he had acquired.

“Tooth of Gluttony can devour Shadows to boost strength, but its side effect is the random entry into a Gluttony state, followed by indiscriminate eating. It’d be nice to have a Hungry Ghost Blade, as the hunger state can turn nearby Shadows into hungry ghosts, allowing for unlimited consumption.”

“I think it works better with Desperate Grass,” Xiao Douzi said, also finishing a round and casually adding, “Under the influence of Desperate Grass, the worse the character’s state, the higher the attributes. This way, you can pair it with jumping into Dark Tides, and if you survive the wave, you’ll eat a lot.”

“I think it combines better with Gluttonous Insect,” Fang Cheng laughed and added, “The hungrier one feels, the higher the attributes, and the side effects of Gluttonous Insect and Tooth of Gluttony counteract each other. Those two are the perfect match.”
