Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 332: Mrs. Hachi, it turns out she is also a poor person (please subscribe)

It was a big deal for Taipingdao that an employee had been given a nickname, and they had to post it on Weibo to make it known.

The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.

The official Weibo account of Taipingdao released a post announcing that Xu Lai, the director of the Xumi gaming equipment manufacturing factory under Taipingdao Game Company, was awarded the nickname - Qiaohu Xu Shu.

The Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick of Taiping Dao are very well-known, and players are familiar with General Tiangong, General Digong, General Rengong, and even the five-man group of Xianzhen Camp.

But if game designers are the front-stage workers behind the scenes, then Xu Lai's job nature is that of the back-stage workers behind the scenes.

Even veteran fans of the Yellow Turban Army don't know much about Xu Lai, let alone why he was given the nickname "Xu Shu, the Clever Tiger."

Fortunately, Cai Gou knew this, so he listed in detail Xu Lai's achievements and his outstanding contributions to the development of Fenghuo-3 on Weibo.

The players saw that Xu Lai was the deputy R&D officer of the Fenghuo No. 3 R&D team, because although Cai Gou was the chief R&D officer, he was responsible for the operation of the entire company.

Most of the time, Xu Lai was the second-in-command of the most mysterious Xumi gaming equipment factory in Taiping Dao as the second-in-command of R&D.

"Awesome! The Xu Shu of the Three Kingdoms was Xu Shu who entered Cao's camp without saying a word, while the Xu Shu of Taiping Dao was Xu Shu who entered the Yellow Turbans and sacrificed his life for them."

"So it was you who developed the Beacon-3? Good, good!"

"Yellow Turban Army: In front of us we have Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, and in the back we have the Clever Tiger Xu Shu. This world will eventually belong to General Tian Gong."

"Tsk tsk, the three generals of heaven, earth and man, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, Qiao Hu, and the five-man group of Xianzhen Camp are all from the Taiping Dao. Why are they so different? If the general Tian Gong of the Three Kingdoms knew that he could have this lineup, wouldn't he laugh to death?"

Throughout the morning, the news that Xu Lai of Taiping Dao was awarded the nickname of Qiaohu Xu Shu attracted much discussion among players.

Even during the period when the Journey Cup dominated the hot searches, it rarely appeared on Weibo hot searches, sparking heated discussions among countless players.

Liangshan Journey Cup, offline game exhibition hall.

A large number of players gathered in the [Hu Baoyi] game exhibition hall and surrounded Cai Gou, giving the feeling that they were about to meet the real Cai Gou offline.

A female player cried to Cai Gou, "Wow, you old thief, you are not a human. Your overall sense is so terrible, and you even forcibly increase your sense by 30% during the battle. It's so scary."

The other players also echoed excitedly upon hearing this -

"That's right, that's right. I didn't even dare to enter the cabin. I was scared to death by the crows."

"To be honest, I almost peed myself..."

"You old thief, I asked you to make a horror game? Why do you fight so hardcore? Doesn't the general know that I'm clumsy?"

"Yeah, this battle is too difficult, isn't it? You think too highly of me, right?"

"I'm timid about horror games, and I'm clumsy about hardcore games. Resident Evil is really fun, and I can't stop playing it."

As a large number of players were collectively denouncing Cai Gou, a young man in his twenties interrupted and directly derailed the entire topic -

"Although this game is scary, to be honest, Hachishaku-san is awesome. I didn't expect that our XPs are the same."

When everyone heard this, they glared at him and said, "Boy, is now the time to talk about this?"

The boy knew he had angered everyone, and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, General Tiangong, as everyone knows, the Taiping Dao's new flower name owner is a great event, why don't you celebrate it together?"

Although the topic was changed abruptly, who wouldn't like the universal celebration of Taiping Dao?
Everyone immediately shut up and looked at Cai Gou eagerly, hoping that he could bring everyone another surprise response.

After hearing this, Cai Gou pondered for a long time, then looked up and said to everyone:
"I understand what you mean. Some players think that the Resident Evil Village battle is hardcore, and some players think that the Resident Evil Village game is scary."

"In fact, I have prepared a surprise a long time ago, which is guaranteed to solve these two problems in one fell swoop. However, we need to wait until the Journey Cup version is updated, so please be patient and wait for a while."

The version update of the Journey Cup will be on the tenth day after the start of the competition. It’s only the second day now, so we have to wait.

But once players think that the problems of hardcore combat and being too scary can be solved, it will be worth waiting.

Can……

A horror game without the horror elements.

This Resident Evil game does not have hardcore combat.

Can it really still attract players as before?

What exactly is this surprise from General Tian Gong?

Curiosity kills the cat. When the players thought about having to wait nine days to get the answer, they became itchy and impatient. However, no matter how much they asked, Cai Gou refused to reveal the secret.

no way.

Players can only lie in the Fenghuo-3 holistic game cabin, hoping to find clues to surprises in the game world.

As time goes by, more and more players buy Beacon No. 3 and the number of online users of Resident Evil Village increases rapidly.

As players continue to explore the world of Resident Evil Village, the game progress of most players is steadily improving.

During this process, many players became more and more curious about and fond of Lady Hachisha.

Even in the vote for the most favorite character held in the Resident Evil Village section of the Taipingdao community, Lady Hachisha was far ahead with an absolute advantage.

There are many labels for Lady Hachisha, but of course the most important one is——

A small horse pulls a large cart.

Many players even suggested that the Resident Evil Village section of the Taipingdao community be renamed the Hachishaku Lady section.

Of course, this action was ruthlessly suppressed by the Resident Evil Village Party, but it also shows how popular Lady Hachisha is among the player community.

Mrs. Hachisha is a boss who is very oppressive and charming. When she first appeared, she bent down and sucked Ethan's hand, saying that she wanted to taste it to see if it was fresh.

When Ethan finally manages to slip away and tries to loot the castle for some resources, Lady Hachisha will continue to track the player.

This perverted woman seems to be invincible. Ordinary firearms are useless against her. If the player is accidentally forced into a dead corner, he can only wait to be executed by her sharp claws.

As the exploration deepens, players will gradually discover many mysteries.

Why are there so many torture instruments in the castle's underground passages?

What were the blood-filled baths in the castle used for?
What is the story behind this giant lady?
As more and more hardcore players join the game, the life and background story of Lady Hachisha gradually surfaced.

In fact, at the very beginning of the game, at Ethan’s house, the player can discover the first secret about Mrs. Hachisha in a drawer.

There is a record in the drawer. Miss D on the cover is Hachishaku Lady when she was young. From the cover we can see that she was once an ordinary person and had a short music career.

Lady Hachisha, who was born into a noble family, suffered from a special hereditary blood disease since childhood, probably because of the tradition of close-kin marriage among the nobles.

By chance, she met a person named Miranda.

Miranda claimed that she could cure her genetic disease, but Miranda implanted parasites into Mrs. Hachisha.

In a basement in the village, the player can obtain a test file, which records the test records of Mrs. Hachisha that year - [Tester 181: Achina D]

【feature--】

[Female, 44 years old, descendant of nobility]

【From other places, hereditary blood disease】

【result--】

[Good fit, intelligence has not decreased, body mutations can be manipulated at will, cognitive control has been accepted, sent for observation.]

Mrs. Hachisha later found out that Miranda was deceiving people and conducting experiments in order to choose a container to resurrect her daughter.

The implantation of the parasite gave Lady Yasha retractable claw-like nails and the ability to regenerate at high speed. It was this ability that caused her body to grow in size.

During the game, players can read Miranda's experimental diary, which records more information about Mrs. Hachisha.

[Tester's name: Achina Dimitrescu]

[Gift Compatibility: Good]

【Brain function: normal】

[The body's regeneration speed is extremely amazing. This person can quickly heal any external injuries within a few seconds, and his nails can also turn into claws in a moment. The high-speed regeneration also causes his body to grow in size. 】

[Note: This person suffers from a hereditary blood disease and needs to regularly ingest human blood to maintain his regenerative function.]

[If the regeneration function of this test subject is unbalanced, it may cause uncontrolled mutation, so it is not suitable to be selected as Eva's container. ]

When players read Miranda's experimental diary, they will know that due to Mrs. Hachisha's own genetic blood disease, she must regularly consume human blood to maintain her functions. Once her functions are out of balance, she will mutate out of control.

This is why players can find a large number of torture instruments in the basement of the castle. Lady Hachisha will squeeze the blood of the villagers and make red wine for drinking.

It is also because of the instability of this hereditary blood disease that Miranda believes that Lady Hachisha is not suitable as a vessel to resurrect her daughter.

But Miranda still let Lady Hachisha stay in the castle and become one of the four local lords.

When the game progresses to the later stage, players can see the parasite's mental control effect on the brain in Miranda's laboratory.

Miranda took advantage of this and controlled Lady Hachiya to manage a territory and help find a way to resurrect her daughter.

The three young women that the player met in the castle in the early stage were a new way of resurrection that Miranda tried.

Miranda uses insects to eat the girl's flesh, and then lets swarms of insects create mimicry to [revive] the girl's human form, but this has a fatal flaw - insects are afraid of the cold.

Players can collect information during the game to get the real answers to the fatal weaknesses of these three girls:

[They have a hard time tolerating a sharp drop in temperature.]

[Especially when the temperature drops to 10 degrees, their metabolic function will decrease and they will enter a dormant and cryptobiotic state.]

[Similar to the cryptobiosis of the tardigrades, or similar to the somnophilous midge? ]

This is also the reason why when players encounter these three daughters, they can help defeat them by breaking windows for ventilation.

Although these insect girls are just experimental subjects, Mrs. Hachisha treats them as her own daughters.

When the player first enters the castle, he can see a photo on the middle wall, which is a portrait of the three daughters.

If the player kills all three bug girls, he will hear the painful and angry roar of Lady Hachisha:

"The bloodline of the Dimitrescu family is about to be cut off! It's cut off by you, a bastard!"

Before Ethan arrived at the castle, the four members of the Dimitrescu family, mother and daughter, had ruled here brutally for decades.

Some local women were captured and taken to the castle to serve them, some had their blood squeezed out to make wine, and the men had their bodies hollowed out to make scarecrows.

There were villagers who once thought of rebelling against the lady. When the player explores the attic of the castle, he will find a note with the legend of a dagger coated with poison written on it.

[I heard that there is something called the "Death Flower Dagger" in this castle. ]

[It is said that the knife is a medieval antique, and the blade is coated with poison mixed with poisons from all over the world. ]

[Some people say that this knife was made to kill demons and monsters. It sounds really mysterious, but... no one knows where it is. ]

The design of this knife mentions——

[A long time ago, a man used this knife to assassinate Dimitrescu.]

[Dimitrescu sealed the knife and his body in the tower because the knife was still a threat to Dimitrescu.]

The sealing location mentioned in the design drawing appears to be in the tower, but it is actually in the castle's church.

Judging from the solemnity with which the assassin was buried in the church, players can sense that his relationship with his wife might be... unusual.

But unfortunately, there is no more description of the assassin in the game, only mentioning that this knife is the key to defeating the lady.

The poison on the knife can destroy the balance of Lady Yasha's blood, causing her to lose her ability to regenerate at high speed, and mutate out of control into a giant white dragon.

In the form of a white dragon, Lady Hachisha's power is even stronger. Her charge can easily destroy buildings, and the wings behind her can also allow Lady Hachisha to fly into the air.

At this time, the player can only cause damage to Lady Hachisha by constantly switching weapons and attacking the human half of the dragon on its back in the form of a white dragon.

finally……

The white dragon mutated from Lady Hashikau will crystallize into stone and turn into ashes, symbolizing the temporary end of Lady Hashikau's bloody and brutal rule.

But this is not the end, because as players continue to dig deeper, they discover that the Hachisha Lady in the game has a prototype in reality.

Of course, there are many different opinions on who the prototype is, and the gaming community is divided into several schools.

However, the most mainstream and most accepted statement by players is:

The prototype of Lady Yasha is Countess Elizabeth Bathory of Hungary in the 15th century.

In order to maintain her youth and beauty, she imprisoned local girls in the castle, drank their blood, and bathed in the girls' blood.

In the world of Resident Evil Village, players can also find huge baths filled with blood, which seems to confirm this.

Later, the Bloody Countess in the real world was put on trial and locked in a dark room in the castle until her death.

When the stories behind these scenes of Lady Hachisha were discovered, the comment with the highest number of likes was:

It turns out that she is also a poor person!

Miranda, you deserve to die!
