#266 - The time and space corridor gameplay shocked the industry (2 in 1 order required)
"Pfft--"
A large amount of life support fluid and oil gushed from Helya's wound, splashing the surrounding ground.
"Helya!!!"
Everyone quickly helped her up.
Unit 0 retracted its tentacles.
That attack was the last strike she could muster with all her strength.
She asked curiously, "As a mecha girl, why would you go to such lengths for a human? Is it worth it?"
Helya's face was pale:
"At first, I was just like you, deeply disgusted with humans, so I joined the Egg Factory led by Elena and became the adjutant of the rebel army.
Until later, Mr. Xiaoyu risked his life to save a mecha girl in front of me…
For this, I am willing to believe in Mr. Xiaoyu."
"Believe?"
Unit 0's gaze was somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, believe."
Helya spat out another mouthful of blood,
"I believe that humans like Mr. Xiaoyu can lead us to a new world, a world where all humans and moe girls can coexist peacefully.
After all, if we completely seize the other party's living space in order to survive, the spiral of hatred will continue forever, never stopping.
I think that's why the rebel leader, Ms. Elena, fell together with the Egg Factory to save us. She probably saw a path to the future in Mr. Xiaoyu."
Unit 0 sighed, "Is that so? Elena is already…"
She was lost in thought.
Haruta took out a bandage from his pocket and bandaged Helya.
Just then, suddenly, a loud noise came from the sky.
It turned out that the space-time corridor in the sky had changed again. The originally distorted light and shadow became even more turbulent, and waves of deep blue ripples rippled in the corridor.
In the ripples, vaguely visible shapes of light and shadow, like some mysterious force roaring in the depths of the corridor.
An early warning aircraft of the Celestial Federation Air Force patrolling nearby was hit by this roaring energy wave and fell to the earth.
Helya warned:
"It seems that our fierce battle just now caused a large number of gravitational waves around, and the space-time distortion is expanding.
The god crystal in Unit 0 resonated with Xiaoyu's god crystal, and the core part of the space-time corridor has been pulled into this world.
If we act in time, we might be able to directly eliminate this space-time corridor's distortion and mutation.
However, if we don't act quickly, the battle just now will accelerate the expansion of the space-time corridor's distortion instead."
Ada frowned, "But how can we get there?"
Just then, Unit 0 sighed, and one of the tentacles pierced into her body,
"Ugh ah ah ah ah!"
At the moment the tentacles pierced into her body, the faces on those tentacles became distorted.
She took out a glittering crystal from her body.
"This is the 'Original God Crystal'. You should be able to use its power to enter the interior of the space-time corridor and repair the space-time distortion."
Helya: "But… without this god crystal, then you…"
Unit 0 closed her eyes: "I'm already tired. Let me just sleep here with the children. Leave quickly with this thing before I regret it."
The group picked up the god crystal and boarded the flyer, supporting each other.
At the last moment of leaving the ruins, Helya turned her head to look at Unit 0 and murmured, "I promise you, that new world will definitely come."
Not long after the flyer left the island, the ruins research institute completely collapsed and disintegrated, and various wreckage fell to the earth like meteors.
During the fall, Unit 0 glanced at the various items of the Doctor's family that were falling beside her, recalling the time she spent living with the Doctor's family, recalling the Doctor's fierce arguments with the management of the consortium, and finally recalling Xiaoyu who was still in swaddling clothes at that time.
Her eyes gradually became clear.
Falling to the ground, she only left the last sentence:
"My children, I leave them to you."
The barrage sighed:
"Actually, these moe girls are also quite pitiful. If I were in their position, I would have to resist."
"This is the wonderful thing about the story of 'Hyperdimensional Moe Girls'. The villains are not mindless bad guys, but have to make such behaviors out of their own positions."
"Alas, so it's not their fault, but the fault of this world."
……
After that, Xiaoyu and the others took the flyer and came to the twisted space-time corridor in the sky.
After using the crystal, they successfully entered the interior of the corridor.
A strange other-dimensional realm appeared before everyone's eyes.
Countless space-time faults overlapped, forming a complex structure, like an endless three-dimensional maze.
Xiaoyu and others shuttled through it, feeling that time and space became fragmented. One moment they returned to ancient times, and the next moment they came to the future. They saw ancient medieval castles, high-tech cities, and fantastic primitive rainforests. All historical elements were completely mixed here.
Fragments of the era scattered around like falling stars.
Here, the basic concept of "time is from the past to the future" was subverted, and the latitude of space was stretched, just like three-dimensional space was expanded in a high-dimensional way.
And in the deepest part of this corridor maze, Xiaoyu saw the singularity of space-time distortion. As long as this singularity is repaired, then this twisted corridor will disappear.
The game pops up a gameplay prompt:
[This maze is divided into different space-time levels, each level represents a specific historical period. In each historical period, there are various portals. Players need to jump to different eras through these portals.]
[However, the opening and closing of the portals are affected by space-time ripples. Players need to skillfully observe the changes of the era and enter the portals at the right time.]
[In addition, the player's various behaviors in the 'past' corridor will cause changes in the timeline, thereby affecting the maze structure and enemy behavior in the 'future' corridor.]
[In some areas, players can manipulate the 'space-time gear' mechanism to create wonderful chemical reactions between two different historical periods and pass through certain obstacles.]
Xiaoyu and his party jumped into the space-time corridor without hesitation.
In the first corridor space, they came to a primitive society of slash-and-burn cultivation. Xiaoyu came to an ancient hunter tribe. The hunters were wearing animal skins and holding stone weapons, hunting wild animals.
After assisting them in the hunting, the tribal chief received Xiaoyu and gave Xiaoyu a special herb seed.
Xiaoyu felt that this seed was fragile in survival ability, but its healing effect was outstanding, and it might be of great use in the future.
So, he put the seeds in a pottery pot and buried them underground.
After that, Xiaoyu resisted foreign enemies for this tribe, crushed the cannibal tribe's attack, and allowed this tribe's civilization to continue.
The leader of the tribe gave him a stone mask.
After passing through the space-time ripples, they entered the Warring States Period of mutual conquest.
Xiaoyu found himself in a war-torn plain, with iron armor riding horses, archers shooting arrows on the high walls, and war drums stirring the tense atmosphere of the battlefield.
It turned out that the tribe he had saved before had evolved into a feudal civilization of division and internal strife.
Xiaoyu assisted the largest country in winning the key battle from division to unification, and obtained the long sword given to him by the king who unified the world, and once again entered the space-time ripples.
When entering the next corridor room, civilization had jumped into the Middle Ages of constant religious wars.
Castles towered into the clouds, and knights held spears and engaged in fierce battles with heretics.
The space-time ripples were hidden next to a magnificent cathedral. Xiaoyu carefully avoided the knights' patrols, cleverly used the shadows of the cathedral, and revealed the ugliness of the Holy See. After that, he obtained the Holy Canon of the Holy See and successfully entered the portal.
Because Xiaoyu destroyed the authority of the Holy See, in the next corridor room, the progress of this civilization successfully entered the era of the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution.
In the square in the center of the city, artists waved their brushes, while craftsmen were creating various steam-powered mechanical miracles.
However, in this era, a strange plague began to spread on the land of civilization. Without effective treatment drugs, civilization might be annihilated.
Xiaoyu came to the site of the original primitive tribe, dug out the seeds buried underground, and allowed this plant that had been extinct thousands of years ago to reappear in the world.
The medicine developed with this plant successfully stopped the spread of the plague and saved civilization.
The rescued citizens gave Xiaoyu a miniature steam engine.
Finally, Xiaoyu entered the last era - a high-tech future fortress city.
Huge aircraft soared in the sky, and mechanical soldiers patrolled every corner of the city.
After searching, Xiaoyu found that the road to the end of the maze was blocked by a huge chasm.
This chasm has natural electromagnetic interference, and even the most advanced aircraft in the future world cannot fly over it.
Xiaoyu broke away from the small world where this era was located and came to the sky above the corridor. He suddenly discovered that the spatial edges of the previous corridor space, the "Steam Age", and this "Future Age" had grooves that could be fitted together like puzzles.
He combined the stone mask, long sword, holy book, and steam engine in his hand into a strange-shaped turntable. After the turntable was embedded into the protrusions next to the groove, it could be rotated.
Accompanied by the rumbling sound of rotation, the 19th century Industrial Revolution period and the 22nd century future period were completely spliced together, and the two different eras began to blend together, gradually merging into a strange new era.
This is a steampunk world full of high technology. The crooked technology tree has created many unique steam-powered flying devices, including high-pressure steam airships.
Steam machinery is not afraid of electromagnetic interference. Xiaoyu used high-pressure steam airships to successfully fly over the chasm and came to the very center of the maze, which is the singularity of distortion.
Seeing this, the live broadcast barrage exclaimed:
"Damn, I've never seen such a fun maze in an open world game before."
"Although the anchor only played for two hours, I feel like I've followed the entire process of civilization. This feeling of time passing and the world changing is really wonderful."
"The seeds buried in ancient times can actually save the future thousands of years later. The game designer's brain is too big, right?"
"Using the fusion of two eras to create a fictional new era, damn, I broke my head and couldn't think that the final solution to the level was so magical!"
Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan, who were live-streaming the game, were also secretly amazed.
Especially Lu Yu, as a producer in his previous life, he understands very well that many of the gameplay elements of this open world game, if taken out separately, can be made into a good game.
Taoyuan Township's employees cleverly integrated these gameplay elements into the theme of 'Hyperdimensional', and did not make it into a hodgepodge.
Just with this alone, their project management ability is already against the sky.
He underestimated them, thinking that the various era overlaps in this twisted corridor were game bugs before! How embarrassing!
The newest novel is first published on 69shu.com!
……
At this time, outside the live broadcast booth, many judges of the Heavenly Venerable Cup Competition and reporters from various game media were also watching the live broadcast of Hyperdimensional Moe Girls with their hands in their pockets.
When Lu Yu was playing the Time-Space Corridor, many level designers of friendly companies couldn't help but marvel.
They asked themselves, if it was their project, they definitely wouldn't be able to think of such an imaginative setting!
Jiang Qingfeng, chairman of the Heavenly Venerable Cup Organizing Committee, seemed exceptionally excited at this time!
In the first few days of the Heavenly Venerable Cup, he didn't pay much attention to Taoyuan Township, but as more and more viewers, and even employees of other manufacturers, were attracted by the live broadcast of Hyperdimensional Moe Girls, he also began to pay attention to this initially unknown project.
The more he paid attention, the more he discovered that the project 'Hyperdimensional Moe Girls', whether it was the game's plot, the design of the open world, or the various BOSS battles and level designs, had gradually become no less than similar games abroad,
It even has the appearance of this year's domestic game next-generation flagship!
On the other side of the booth, the staff of HugeSoft and Sony who participated in this carnival also began to secretly call and ask their superiors:
Be sure to win the global exclusive distribution rights of this game on their own game consoles, even if it's a timed exclusive!
At the MileYou booth, producer Tianwu looked at the deserted booth with a bitter heart.
The surrounding colleagues were all secretly watching the live broadcast of Hyperdimensional Moe Girls on their mobile phones,
Everyone was equally heavy-hearted.
As game practitioners, they naturally saw that MileYou had lost this time, and lost very thoroughly!
Krypton gold card-drawing small level-pushing games, no matter in terms of gameplay depth and breadth, have no way to compare with open world action games.
Even MileYou's only advantage - cartoon-rendered beautiful girls, is no longer an advantage in front of the other party's equally cute and sexy moe girls!
Disappointment and despair spread in their hearts,
Especially Wan Jia, he looked at the live broadcast screen with mixed feelings.
This game from a friendly company is the game project he most wanted to participate in!
He secretly said in his heart: 'Hyperdimensional Moe Girls' producer, from today onwards, you are my idol and goal to catch up with. I hope that one day, I can communicate with you face to face!
……
At this time, Taoyuan Township Villa.
Wan Xiaotong, the producer of Hyperdimensional Moe Girls, excitedly watched Lu Yu clear the Time-Space Corridor in the live broadcast room, as well as the screen full of praise.
"Oh, oh, oh, we the creators, shall finally reach the invisible boundary!"
Xu Qin translated, "Everyone's hard work recently has finally paid off."
Ye Kun, the level planner of the project team, hesitantly raised his hand and said:
"Although everyone seems to like the Space-Time Corridor gameplay, I must explain that this Space-Time Corridor was not made by me, and I don't know why such a strange other dimension is mixed into the game."
Lu Yiguan, the art guy, nodded and said, "The art resources of different eras of the game are stacked together, which seems to be an art resource BUG."
Everyone was shocked: "Could this be another case of AI taking advantage of the original BUG and performing exceptionally?"
……
At this time, in the live broadcast, Xiaoyu came to the singularity of space-time distortion.
After entering the singularity, he used the god crystal left by Unit-01 to repair the singularity distortion in the center of the corridor.
Rumble... Rumble... Rumble...
Everywhere in the corridor, the originally overlapping and misplaced spaces began to rearrange and combine, becoming complete.
Aida said happily, "Great! In this way, the distortion of space-time has been repaired?"
Hera nodded and said, "Although the danger of 'Humanity's Collapse' caused by the god crystal has not been completely eliminated, we should be able to catch our breath a little."
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief,
Suddenly!
The mysterious phantom that appeared in front of Xiaoyu before appeared again!
The phantom chuckled and said:
"You have done a remarkable job to get to this point, but unfortunately, children of the Silva family, you are still one step late. This distorted corridor has existed for too long, long enough for us to complete various preparations.
Now, the end of the world has begun..."
As soon as He finished speaking,
Above the floating continent, the space-time corridor that had been repaired began to twist and collapse violently, and then shatter!
Behind the space-time corridor, a huge dimensional vortex appeared, this dimensional vortex covered the sky and the sun, and chaotic dimensional storms flowed within it.
A large number of monsters similar to the phantom poured out of these rifts, like a dark legion from hell, quickly attacking the floating continent. Their eyes were full of the desire for destruction, as if they were demons trying to devour everything.
Various airport and aircraft of the Heavenly Federation were the first to bear the brunt, and were instantly annihilated after being touched by these phantoms.
The entire sky above the continent was filled with chaotic light and shadow, forming a strange and terrifying hellish scene.
Aida covered her mouth in horror and said, "So... that twisted corridor was just a smokescreen, and this space-time vortex hidden behind the corridor is your real purpose!"
The phantom praised, "Very clever, little human girl, but unfortunately, you know too late. This vortex connecting this world to our lair has begun to destroy various eras of human history."
Xiaoyu questioned, "Who exactly are you, why do you know I am a child of the Silva family, and why are you so obsessed with destroying the world?"
The phantom laughed strangely: "I am a servant who obeys the orders of 'a certain being'. I think, soon, after the world is completely destroyed and that being appears, you will know the answer."
……
At this time, in the Goddess Calendar 1200, Cecil Kingdom, southern lakeside.
The four divine beast girls looked at the sky-covering dimensional vortex with solemn expressions.
The Azure Dragon girl opened her mouth and said, "If we lose thousands of creatures, then this world would be too boring, don't you think?"
The White Tiger girl smiled and showed her small tiger teeth: "Azure Dragon, are you planning to intervene?"
The dragon horns of the Azure Dragon girl began to glow: "I'm afraid I'm not the only one thinking that way, right? I'll say it first, this time, the opponent's power is too strong, we may not be able to come back."
Vermilion Bird Girl \u0026 Black Tortoise Girl: "When did you become so long-winded? We have received so many years of incense offerings from this group of stupid humans, it's time for us to do something, otherwise what will we eat in the future?"
After the four divine beast girls reached a tacit understanding, they took off together, unleashing their divine power, like four rainbows piercing the sky, flying towards the dimensional vortex.
The divine power emanating from them condensed into a huge ball of light in the air, like the sun, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
In the dimensional vortex, the phantoms were shocked by this sudden divine power and let out sharp howls.
The Azure Dragon girl gritted her teeth, her dragon wings flapped, and her dragon roar became even louder, rushing straight to the center of the vortex,
The White Tiger girl followed closely behind, her tiger claws swiping in the air, like a white lightning bolt. She concentrated her divine power in front of her, like a fierce tiger.
The Vermilion Bird girl spread her wings, and the flames on her body formed a blazing halo. She danced in the air, transforming her body into a diving arrow of fire.
The runes on the Black Tortoise girl's shell bloomed with brilliant light and began to rotate.
The four divine beast girls formed a sacred totem in the air, like guardians, and crashed into the dimensional vortex!
Heart-wrenching screams of the phantoms came from the vortex!
The divine power condensed by the divine beast girls collided fiercely with the dimensional vortex!
At this moment, time seemed to freeze.
The originally dark dimensional vortex began to emit colorful divine light,
And at the edge of the vortex, countless dark phantoms were struggling, trying to escape, but they still could not escape the divine power of the divine beasts.
A dazzling mushroom cloud of divine light exploded in the sky with a violent explosion.
After the four divine beast girls tried their best, the exit of the dimensional vortex was finally temporarily closed.
And the divine beast girls also exhausted their divine power in this nearly suicidal collision, and their bodies were about to dissipate.
At the moment of disappearing, the divine beast girls hugged each other.
"Let's be sisters in the next life too."
"Stupid humans, remember to continue to worship us, we don't want to be... starving ghosts..."
They turned into particles of divine light all over the sky and completely fell.
The live broadcast barrage frantically spammed:
"Wuwuwuwuwuwu, divine beast girl sisters! QAQ"
"Damn Peach Garden, why are you sending out so many blades! QAQ"
"In order to save the world, all kinds of characters step forward one after another, this is probably the time when stars shine!"
"I was crying when I saw the divine beast girls sacrificed, but I laughed at their request for incense and rice, crying and laughing, my roommates all thought I was crazy."
"Wuwuwu, although it's very sad, it looks like we're entering the climax before the finale, I'm nervous, streamer GKDGKD!"
