Chapter 347: Lord Isagan's Mission
"Isagang is an important NPC in the game," Baldy tried to explain, "all players are his subordinates, they need to be loyal to him and follow his orders..."

Malu shook his head. "No player wants to be anyone's subordinate, let alone this Isagan is a minotaur."

"What's wrong with the Minotaur?" The bald man tried hard to control the blue veins on his forehead.

"Mnotaurs are the common enemy of all players. Well, I can't say all of them, there are still people who like Minotaur, but not that many."

Malu said, "You put a public enemy here right at the beginning. It's not a good start. Why don't you consider changing the character design, such as a queen with black stockings? Preferably above H. Yes, and it must be a fleshy leg. Remember to make it elastic when modeling."

"........."

The bald man was silent.

Coconut Milk Jelly suggested again that they should just stop eating, but Baldy still did not accept her suggestion and just said to Malu.

"Let's put this part about Isagan aside for now and look at the rest first."

"Why, you don't want to redo the opening? That's right, this CG must have cost a lot of money." Malu nodded to show his understanding, "Then let's continue."

Zhen Ye received the order and continued playing.

The camera has shifted from Isagan to a wasteland, and then various wasteland creatures begin to appear, including green goblins, red goblins, purple goblins, black goblins, and goblins with half purple skin and half black skin...

"Stop," Malu called again, looking at the bald guy casually, "Is there only one kind of monster in your game?"

"The different types of goblins are very different. In fact, they can be said to be completely different species." The game producer tried to popularize science.

"But the problem is that they are all modeled the same, just with a different color. Players will soon get bored of constantly spawning goblins. Don't you have any monsters that can be used to increase your power?"

"Yes, you can continue to watch..."

After getting the guarantee, Millipede continued to watch patiently. After looking at goblins of more than a dozen colors, something different finally appeared. That was the slime monster.

It seems that their fighting ability is not as good as that of goblins.

Then the camera captured a ghoul, another monster that was almost overused in games of the same type, the butcher, the one-eyed demon, the troll, the blood demon... The millipede began to yawn.

Baldy warned quietly, "The big one is coming."

The next moment the camera turned again, and several humans appeared on TV.

Leading the group was a heroic man wearing a full set of knight armor, with a huge golden sword at his waist. Next to him stood a dwarf holding a battle axe.

Behind them was a slim young elf archer with pointed ears, and at the end of the team was a priest with a holy face and a staff in his hand.

"This is..." Millipede finally opened his eyes wide.

"There is a very dangerous monster in the Endless Abyss - the Heroes." Baldy introduced with a serious expression, "They are greedy and cunning creatures. We have never provoked them, but they have set their sights on the precious materials produced by the Endless Abyss. Every now and then, they will sneak into our land, burn, kill and plunder. They are just like robbers."

"Ah?" Malu scratched his chin. "This setting is quite unique... It is a little different from the competitors. Well, let's continue reading."

The animation continues, and this time the perspective comes to a small town. It is called a small town, but in fact it is just a few stone houses. There are not many residents in the town, except for goblins, skeletons, and slime monsters.

The voiceover continues.

——You, a tiny servant of the great Isagan, finally arrived at Chiling Town after a difficult journey. This is a vibrant land of hope, but it is also surrounded by dangers.

Can you complete the order of Lord Isagan and successfully defend and build Chiling Town? Then an option popped up on the screen.

——Can/Yes.

Malu looked at Bald Man again, and Bald Man explained, "This is to increase interaction. I've seen similar settings in many mobile games. They give you a few options, and the meanings are similar. It doesn't affect the subsequent plot."

"But your two options are too straightforward."

While Malu and Baldy were chatting, Zhen Ye had already clicked yes and jumped to the player selection interface.

In fact, after watching the previous animation, Malu already had a vague premonition in his heart, and the scene that happened afterwards further confirmed his premonition.

What appeared before his eyes was the face-shaping system commonly seen in RPG games, but the object being shaped was a skeleton, not a human.

Here, players can pick the bones they like and piece them together to create the ultimate character.

Of course, considering that some people may not like the tedious assembly process, the project team also thoughtfully built in a one-click selection function.

Just click to create a skeleton soldier.

However, Zhen Ye did not want to use this convenient function and would rather do it herself. She also used her mobile phone to search for information and finally pieced together a skeleton puppy.

"Is it still possible?" Malu asked in amazement. "This degree of freedom is really high, but there are too few hints. Most players probably just select their characters with one click. Even if some do, they will probably still fight as humans."

"Did you hear that?" Baldy said to Happy Bear, the front-end engineer beside him, "add some more hints."

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Happy Bear took out a purple crystal ball, placed his right hand on it and closed his eyes.

The next moment there is an extra line of small text on the screen - here you can let your imagination run wild and edit your character freely.

Malu didn't see Happy Bear's cool move because Zhen Ye's Skeleton Puppy had already been defeated by then.

She clicked Finish Create and the screen went black again.

The next moment, the TV screen switched to the center of the town. A black magic circle emitting an ominous aura lit up, and then a skeleton puppy jumped out of the magic circle.

After landing, it wagged its tail.

Malu praised, "The modeling and scene are awesome, and the optimization is good too. It's set to the highest quality, and the picture is smooth and silky, without any lag."

"No big deal. Technology has never been our problem." Baldy said this very confidently.

But Malu soon discovered another problem, "No task prompts?"

"Mission prompt?"

"It's about what to do next. Even if it's an open world, there should be main and side quests or something."

"It was said in the opening animation. We work for Master Isagan and guard and build the town of Chiling."

"I know the general direction, but how do we achieve this goal? Generally, games will split this process into main and side quests, allowing players to complete them step by step and improve their characters. So, how do you improve your character?"
