Chapter 1009 Arcade

The next weekend afternoon, Hearthstone Tavern.

A group of dwarves stopped playing hearthstone today. They all gathered around a strange magic machine and stared at the picture above.

"How many times has this been tested?"

Qiao Xiu stretched out and moved his fingers, making some changes to the original crystal inscription parameters inside the magic machine.

Late last night, Qiao Xiu commissioned Frost Ax to transport a piece of raw crystal stone that was as tall as a person. Qiao Xiu also specifically requested one of inferior quality.

The raw crystal stone shipped by Shuang Ax did not disappoint Qiao Xiu. There were a lot of impurities in it. In Shuang Ax's words, 'This is the garbage we use as coal to burn.'

Qiao Xiu spent another night and morning turning this piece of 'coal' into one of Qiao Xiu's childhood memories... that was the arcade machine.

At present, Qiao Xiu has begun to use Inscription to develop a large-scale game such as World Rift.

With the help of Shiratori's powerful programming assistance ability, Qiao Xiu spent one night creating a fighting game that was very popular in arcades in the past...King of Fighters 97.

The style and decoration of this game seem out of place in this world. After all, it is a game set in modern times, and Qiao Xiu has not made any magical changes.

"I still think this man's hairstyle is weird. Isn't he afraid of someone grabbing his hair during a fight?"

Xili is Qiao Xiu's accompanying tester, no one else...

Ever since Qiao Xiu made the prototype of this game last night, Xili became familiar with another set of operating systems, which were the joysticks and buttons on the arcade machine.

"I think this is very touching?" Qiao Xiu didn't know how to describe it better.

What Ciri was complaining about was Yagami An, one of the undoubted male protagonists in The King of Fighters.

His attire was a bit avant-garde from Shirley's point of view, but Qiao Xiu still felt that it was an attire that could be described as 'cool'.

"Really?" Shirley expressed great doubts.

"There is only this character. This outfit only looks good on this character."

Qiao Xiu couldn't imagine that in reality, someone would dress like this. He would probably be beaten a dozen times just walking on the street.

There are certain costumes that are only suitable for certain characters.

"The impact problem that occurred just now has been fixed."

The inscription on Qiao Xiu's hand disappeared, and his other hand was on the joystick again, entering the selection interface.

Due to time constraints, Qiao Xiu only made a semi-finished product... There are only four teams to choose from in this semi-finished product, but the general game framework has been completed.

"You're not allowed to use the redhead this time."

Shirley's hand was also placed on the joystick. She had realized that Qiao Xiu's use of the character named Iori Yagami was terrifyingly powerful.

"Okay." Qiao Xiu said and chose Terry, the guest character in "Legend of the Wolf".

This character has an operation in The King of Fighters 97 that Qiao Xiu thinks is a bug, and that is... unlimited combos.

So Qiao Xiu didn't show any mercy and directly pushed Lianna, whom Ciri had chosen, directly into the sky, leaving Ciri in a state of waiting to die with her hands off the joystick.

"Ahem...that's it for today's test." Qiao Xiu said to Ciri after finishing the game.

"Come again."

Ciri took out a coin with a special inscription and threw it in.

The war lasted for nearly an hour. Finally, the dwarves dominated by Frost Ax stood up and said to Qiao Xiu, 'What is this? Let’s have some fun too! ’ At the suggestion, Qiao Xiu and Xili gave up their positions.

"Look at this situation, we need to make a few more."

Shirley looked at the scene where the dwarves surrounded the arcade. They showed great curiosity about new things, especially the new things created by Qiao Xiu.

"Well, let's go to the mainland next door and build a few units first. I've probably already figured out the design."

Qiao Xiu ordered barbecue for three people at the bar of the tavern, and took Xiri directly to the study room on the second floor of the tavern.

Qianmian was sitting in Qiao Xiu's seat, controlling the orange cat.

This orange cat has now become the third in command of the Sewing Gang. Although it is temporary...it still urges the carpenters under the Sewing Gang to make what Qiao Xiu wants.

From the perspective of Qianmeng Control, Orange Cat watched condescendingly as the sewing gang below divided some wood and then polished it.

"Their workmanship was crude and it's hard to imagine how they built the buildings on the streets."

Qian Mian commented on the work of these carpenters. During the time when Qiao Xiu was making The King of Fighters, Qian Mian had all the control over the Orange Cat.

She explored the city's surroundings very professionally. The buildings in this city had existed for a certain period of time, and the buildings themselves were very exquisite from a thousand faces.

But this group of craftsmen from the Sewing Gang made Qianmian very disappointed.

"Civilization fault." Qiao Xiu said a word subconsciously. "According to the information of the eldest lady of the Sea Clan, Hemina, the gray fog may have spread on this continent a hundred to two hundred years ago, and the Sea Clan people fled. After the other ethnic groups were eroded by the gray fog, the gray fog did not kill them... but restricted their development."

"Has the development of magic and industry stalled?"

Ciri has been studying with the Purple Man for so long, and the Purple Man also taught her some of Nolan's history.

Magic and industrial development are inseparable in this world, just like science on Earth.

But magic is banned in another continent, and coupled with the legality of the laughter mixture, all the people in this continent waste their lives in this false "laughter".

"Now I can only wait for the expedition force from the country near the sea to arrive. It is too dangerous to use this orange cat to explore the gray mist itself." Qiao Xiu said.

"Then you take advantage of this period to plan an uprising?" Qian Zhi asked tentatively.

"Uprising? There is a script in my mind that is very suitable for...this city." Qiao Xiu looked at the numb people in the picture. "But first, we have to make them sober. These guys' brains are about to be grayed out." The fog corroded it."

"But even if you are awake... no one would be willing to follow a cat in uprising, right?" Xili whispered, and at the same time, a small flag made of illusion appeared in her hand. "It's just a cat holding the flag high, shouting... The sight of fate... I have to say it’s quite interesting.”

"I had no intention of calling them out."

Qiao Xiu stared at the picture in the magic net. Marceau, the leader of the sewing gang, had walked in to check on the progress of their work.

"Joy Mixture is legal in this city, and the city owner even encourages them to use it, so the people will not have the idea of ​​​​resistance... But the power of the original crystal and our faith is absolute in this world ruled by gray fog. Contraband.”

Qiao Xiu said as he watched the workers below gradually cover up a piece of raw crystal stone that was as tall as a person with wooden boards.

"The power of faith can also bring them happiness, but only when they play these games called 'arcade' and 'Little Overlord', they can draw a little bit of the power of faith. If... this place for playing arcades becomes popular in the future. The city lord will definitely be unable to sit still and find a way to completely destroy the entire city, and then...an emotion called anger will burst out."

Qiao Xiu took the small flag constructed by Xili using illusion and said.

"At that time we just need to incite a little more and we can wave the flag."

"You are really a devil." Qian Mian made this comment after hearing Qiao Xiu's plan.
