Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 120 Isn’t it what you thought?
Late at night, everyone else in the hotel had fallen asleep, only Alice was still playing video games in her room.

There was no other way, the development of the new game had to be accelerated to cope with the upcoming battles. Although she made a solemn promise in the hall, the development of the new game was still in the drawing stage. In short, apart from the idea of ​​"I want to develop a new game", there was nothing else.

What if they really encounter the legendary sun-devouring monster Noctus, and there are not enough "Original Fantasy: The Heroic Four" cartridges? So Ling said: Alice, please take out your new game and use it. If you can't, your salary will be deducted... Wouldn't Alice turn into a Muggle on the spot?
Although the golden maid has never received a salary, this does not prevent her from fighting for her legal rights. Besides, developing a game is probably the same as playing a game. Although the first round may be a little awkward, the second round will be very proficient. Alice is now a second-round player, and she thinks it is not a problem for her to develop a new game in three days.

"As for the game type, choose an action game."

She manipulated the virtual handle and pressed buttons on the light screen.

Action games, abbreviated as ACT, have always been the most suitable game type for showing off operations. Excluding some soul-like suffering games, they are also the type that is least afraid of being beaten by monsters. In many cases, monsters only accumulate anger points, energy bars, and special kill slots for game characters... In short, they are just sandbags that accumulate various messy values. Occasionally they will be summoned in BOSS battles to disgust players, but it's harmless. After all, the BOSS is so weak that it can only be beaten by its younger brothers. Can't you just obey it?
[World Background] is still the same as before, and you can only choose "Steam Fantasy".

[Battle Mechanics], action games cannot give you the choice between turn-based and semi-real-time, only real-time can be chosen. Of course, this is just the general direction, the specific battle system still needs Alice to polish it herself.

For action games, an outstanding combat system is as important as action design, so Alice plans to leave it to the end. She already has a general idea in her mind and can stitch it together... I mean, I mean reasonably draw on classic works from the Earth world.

【Game duration】, probably because of the player's level upgrade, the upper limit of the game duration has been extended from the original three hours to five hours. But now Alice has realized that the game duration here has nothing to do with the "game duration" she understands, but refers to the upper limit of the time for a game.

Simply put, if you fail to complete the game within the specified time, the game will be automatically closed, which is somewhat similar to the anti-addiction mechanism for minors in many online games.

Alice never thought that as an adult, she could enjoy the treatment of a minor in the other world, and she was immediately grateful.

[Race: Light Elf]

[Status: Uncontrollable]

She didn't know what was wrong with her. She kicked away the shoes she had finally found, crawled back to the game console, and stared at the dark blue screen.

[The endless night of dreams, the deep suffering of thorns; the endless darkness, surrounded by thorns; the body is like a reed, floating with the waves; life is like a tiny fire, fleeting. ]

Alice looked at the incomplete silhouette of the character interface and blinked belatedly: "This isn't me?"

【Role:???】

[Main storyline], the biggest difficulty in developing "Initial Fantasy: Four Warriors" was that it stuck the literary girl Alice for a long time, and she was even forced to read novels for inspiration. But now it doesn't matter, because there just happened to be the most suitable work for her to copy... for her to learn from.

"..."

[Introduction: The girl who was sealed in the castle has never seen the light in the long years. If someone could break the dark prison and bring her a ray of bright sunshine, perhaps her eyes would no longer just stare into the abyss, but see your appearance.]

【Skill:? ? ? 】

Alice silently put down the controller and began to look for her shoes, muttering to herself, "Foolish Lingge, the omnipotent Alice already knows the purpose of this trip. If you are willing to kneel down and give me a raise, I will mercifully tell you... Just kidding!"

[Class: Girl's Royal Power-Mystery]

The second girl Wang Quan appeared!
It was in the mysterious castle they were looking for.

"Eh?"

Sir Roman's classic masterpiece, "March Diary", was moved in intact, which is not only in line with the facts but also a tribute to the great man.

[Main Character], this time there is only one controllable character, and it does not support two-player or multiplayer cooperation. But it doesn’t matter, the genius player carries the trust of his partners to fight, and even if he is alone, he can clear the level with one life...

However, their purpose of coming to Rostin City was to help Lingge find a way to peel off the golden apple, so why would it be related to another young girl, Wang Quan?

Could it be that... A terrible guess gradually emerged in Alice's mind.

No, I still have to tell Lingge. She climbed out of bed again, took out the shoes she had kicked into the corner, put them on, and then hurried out of the room. Taking advantage of the night, she quietly walked to Lingge's door. She looked around like a thief, and after making sure that there was no one in the corridor, she knocked on the wooden door: "Hey~ Lingge, open the door, it's me~"

Lingge was indeed awake. He was still reading about the Sosen Mountains by lamplight, preparing for tomorrow's journey. He heard someone calling his name outside the door. He didn't want to answer, but he still asked, "Who?"

"It's your most loyal maid, Alice~"

Ling Ge suddenly wanted to slap himself three seconds ago.

He put the book down expressionlessly, walked over and opened the door. Just as it was opened a little, Alice took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in, and then she helped him close the door considerately. After that, she wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead and said to herself, "Perfect infiltration."

What the hell is wrong with this guy?
Ling Ge stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead, which slightly relieved the dizziness in his head after staying up late, and asked directly: "It's so late and you don't sleep. What do you want from me?"

"Yes, I'm here to attack you at night... I'm just kidding!" Facing his suddenly sharp eyes, Alice didn't dare to joke anymore, fearing that she would be accused of self-defense. She could only honestly tell her intention: "I was editing a new game on my game console just now, and then I found something very important. I think I need to tell you, so I came to find you."

"Very important thing? What is it?" Considering that "eating" is also a very important thing in Alice's mind, Ling did not have much confidence in her information.

But this time Alice really gave him a little surprise.

"The second young girl's royal power?" After listening to her story, the young man raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you sure?"

"It can't be wrong!"

Alice said confidently: "Last time when I edited the cartridge of "First Fantasy", the game console showed that Saint Shallia's class was the Girl King who controls fate. Wasn't it confirmed in the end?"

She moved closer and said stealthily, "I remember Saint Shallia once said that the reason she embarked on this journey was to find other young girls' royal rights that were lost in the mortal world. So, is there a possibility that..."

Is it possible that the method of peeling off the golden apple is just a cover, and the mysterious shepherdess just used this name to trick Lingge and others into the city of Rostin to help her find other girl kings?

The young girl Wang Quan, who was sealed in the ancient castle and controlled the "secret", seemed to confirm this statement.

If Alice had come to him and said these words before today, Ling would definitely have believed it, because he was a rational to suspicious person. There was no difference between suspecting Alice at first and suspecting Saint Xia Liya later.

But now, the scene suddenly emerged in his mind. The girl and he were standing side by side under the withered sycamore tree, watching the palm-shaped leaves slowly falling from the branches, and then told him in a calm tone: In this world, no one can dominate the fate of another person.

Even though he is the older brother and she is the younger sister.

Even though she was the young queen and he was just an ordinary man.

Perhaps touched by this, he did not rush to draw a conclusion, but asked Alice: "Do you think so?"

"Me?" The golden-haired maid scratched her cheek. Although she was an informer, she was still quite decent. She didn't say anything against her will just because Lingge was her employer. "I don't think so. She doesn't look like that kind of person."

She was willing to believe Saint Xia Liya, but she was also worried about Ling Ge's reaction after knowing the truth, so she came to tell him so that he could be mentally prepared in advance.

"Then," Linger said, his eyes quiet and deep, "it's not what you think."

"Besides, it's getting late."

"You should go back to bed."

"Remember you have to get up early tomorrow."
