To ascend, I had no choice but to create games-Chapter 862 - 474 Ordinary Mahjong Girl_2

The past was an extended era, and the road was long. A poem by the poet Li Bai could drift on the wind for decades before it reached beyond the realm, echoing over the great lands of Da Liang.

And melodies from beyond would travel with the flowing rivers eastward, crossing over the steppes and snow-capped mountains, before finally becoming the delicate tones that the girls of South would hum.

Cultural exchange between different civilizations was like two clouds in the sky slowly meeting, taking their time to get to know each other until they eventually merged into one.

But now, things are different.

The presence of games has quickened the pace of cultural exchange. In the process of creating games, developers involuntarily infuse their own experiences and cultures into the mix, making games a powerful tool for cultural fusion.

Moreover, the intrinsic nature of games accelerates this cultural integration, and the entertaining aspect of games makes them more readily accepted by players, thus speeding up the spread of culture even further.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng couldn’t help but smile.

He had thought it was just a minor path, but hidden within was a profound mystery, which made him realize that games were indeed fascinating.

He had come to the right place.

Watching Hakurei Silver Dream disappear into the distance, and Wu Wei reflecting on whether he had been too harsh, Fang Cheng knew it was time to reward them.

Plus, they seemed honest enough, and he had a good impression of Wu Wei, so why not grant them a little more adventure?

Hakurei Silver Dream was still unaware that her defenses had been breached, which had inspired the Great Heavenly Lord.

She dashed frenziedly until she was away from any observers, and only then did she remember she could vent in the group chat.

Hakurei Silver Dream: [Encountered another one who looks down on the second dimension today!]

Eight-Yuan Sheep: [So what if they look down on it, I’m not into the second dimension anyway. Are you a second dimension fan?]

Neighbor Wang: [I’m not either. Who in their right mind is into the second dimension? By the way, my horse girl was in prime form today, totally exhilarating. Made me want to ride a horse myself.]

Eight-Yuan Sheep: [A person cannot, or at least, should not. Oh, by the way, there’s a new game from Touhou, who’s beaten the insane difficulty?]

17-Year-Old Sage: [I haven’t even cleared The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.]

Eight-Yuan Sheep: [What era do you live in, you relic? Forget it, I’ll go check it out myself. Also, Hakurei Silver Dream, a reminder that your refund time is almost up.]

Hakurei Silver Dream: [Is this really the time to talk about refunds!]

As she read the messages in the group, Hakurei Silver Dream felt that these people were not second dimension enthusiasts, yet they were so second dimension at the same time.

Seeing that no one supported her post, Hakurei Silver Dream, in a fit of anger, was about to uninstall the game.

However, upon seeing the game’s icon, she felt a bit reluctant to let go.

It had scenery she had never witnessed and characters she loved; the thrilling story had her hooked.

But the prevalence of non-second dimension users in the game irritated her greatly.

Especially that Wu Wei, who had the nerve to slight the second dimension. She had to teach him a lesson.

So, it wasn’t because the game was fun—it was purely for revenge.

As such, Hakurei Silver Dream decided not to uninstall the game just yet, but to log back in and prepare for card drawing.

She was determined!

She would assemble the strongest deck and take everyone’s money, driving all the non-second dimension users out, and making this a sanctuary for second dimension players!

Although it was an unlikely dream, for the sake of her beloved second dimension, Hakurei Silver Dream was all in!

Filled with an inexplicable sense of purpose, she went online and immediately found the card drawing NPC, using up all her draw chances.

According to the group’s stats, the first ten-draw usually brought good luck, guaranteeing at least one SR card, and sometimes, if fortune smiled, even an SSR could appear.

But when Hakurei Silver Dream saw her card drawing results, she felt as if her breath had stopped.

She immediately captured a screenshot and threw it into the group, forgetting all about the setback she had faced earlier.

After seeing the picture, the reactions of the players in the group were nothing short of spectacular.

Neighbor Wang: [Hmm... Nice Photoshop skills, I actually couldn’t spot any flaws.]

Eight-Yuan Sheep: [Clearly impressive, but it’s impossible. The odds of getting all SSR cards are one in a billion; I refuse to believe such an ’European Emperor’ exists among us.]

Pigeon of Days Past: [I don’t believe it either; never heard of such an outrageous thing.]

And when Hakurei Silver Dream pulled out her phone and played the video, the old members of the group chat collectively fell silent.

Old Pigeon Days: "[Hiss...]"

Old Wang from Next Door: "[In ancient times, such matters required making a vow at a temple.]"

Group Admin Kicked You out of the Silver Party: "[We don’t bother with that nowadays. I suggest you go to the Martyrs’ Cemetery to make your vow, and it’s best if you burn the latest GDP along with the steel production figures.]"

Silver Party: "[Patterns, patterns.]"

Why Don’t You Take Me: "[Not to mention anything else, but having a full SSR is already outrageous, and what’s even more outrageous is that it’s basically a semi-finished ordinary skill set that can produce good results right away. You’re really lucky.]"

Hakurei Silver Dream: "[That’s for sure!]"

Hakurei Silver Dream: "[Wait, what did you say?]"

Why Don’t You Take Me: "[You’re really lucky.]"

Hakurei Silver Dream: "[The sentence before!]"

Why Don’t You Take Me: "[Ordinary skill set.]"

Hakurei Silver Dream: "[...This account is ruined.]"

Seeing Hakurei Silver Dream’s Versailles-style post, the old-timers in the group said in unison: "[Why?!]"

Hakurei Silver Dream: "[I wanted to play a personality set.]"

"[Forget about your broken personality set. You should be like a cute girl next door who is lovely as a mountain flower. Just show yourself as plain and simple.]"

"[A strong personality doesn’t suit you, the only role you’re fit for is my wife.]"

"[Being ordinary in the 2D world is nothing special, but in reality, it’s a scarce attribute! Don’t force yourself to do things you don’t like!]"

"[Exactly, for a personality set card deck of the same strength, it might take you months to get. Take advantage of your current lead and rampage through the scene, dominate the leaderboard in official competitions.]"

Looking at the chat messages, Hakurei Silver Dream hesitated.

She wanted to show her personality, but according to everyone else, the strength of this skill set was indeed formidable, and it would be a real pity to give it up.

Moreover, she really couldn’t, without blushing, spout a bunch of chuunibyou lines like the others could; a more solid and steady style might suit her better.

After much hesitation, Hakurei Silver Dream was finally moved by the words of a salted fish in the group.

"[What does it matter how dirty the means are, as long as you can win?]"

These words filled Hakurei Silver Dream with endless motivation and spurred her to make up her mind to win with this ordinary set and show those non-2D players how formidable she was.

Get ready for a cleaning, Wu Wei!

On the other side, Wu Wei looked at his card-drawing results and found them a bit unbelievable.

Ten SSRs could significantly boost the strength of his deck, making it possible for him to compete in the first Mahjong tournament.

He initially thought it would take him months to achieve this level of strength, but now, an unexpected stroke of luck had saved him from taking many detours and brought him straight to the finish line.

"I feel like I’ve always been quite lucky playing Fang Cheng Studio’s games."

He had previously earned the title of Food God, and now there was a likely chance he could add the title of Sparrow God to his collection, which was a pleasant surprise for Wu Wei.

He knew his gaming skills were not great, and his effort and patience were average, but it seemed his luck was always good, which felt a bit unbelievable to him.

After adding the skills to his deck, he checked his library and felt like he could take a chance.

The biggest game competition would open in a week, and aside from players, there would be several NPCs participating.

For current players, NPCs are the biggest enemy, only after a while would it gradually transition to players.

However, the title of the first Sparrow God was quite attractive, and many players were actively preparing to see if they could get a chance at the title.

After some thought, Wu Wei felt like he might have a slight chance.

So, he took out his phone and made a call to his higher-ups.

"Yes, I want to take annual leave. Don’t worry about what I’m doing, just know I’m taking my annual leave."
