To ascend, I had no choice but to create games-Chapter 980 - 541

Pingping knew little about creatures, her limited knowledge coming from biology textbooks and Pokémon, so she had absolutely no idea what these platypus-like creatures wanted to do. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

However, just because she didn’t understand didn’t mean the viewers in the live stream room were clueless.

As she opened the live streaming room, a surge of fans flocked in and started to greet her warmly.

"Pingping, are you streaming today? Here’s your tip for today, go buy some tasty snacks."

"I’ve waited for so long, finally seeing the sister Pingping."

"Are you selling products on your stream today? I’m quite busy today, just send out the product links, I’ll buy them before I head to work overtime."

"The money’s ready, no need to send the products, just randomly pick a ’Stellar Nebula’ viewer to give it to."

Pingping’s streaming room felt unusually warm and cozy compared to other streamers.

She didn’t know why it was like this, just that she unwittingly became a darling of the group, with a bunch of caring older brothers coming to watch each time she streamed, offering various suggestions.

There was no mockery, and they did not expect any pranks; everyone just quietly watched Pingping stream, occasionally chatting.

According to them, this place had a particularly comfortable feel.

Pingping, unable to identify the reason, could only continue to stream at her own pace, slowly gaining her own loyal fans.

Seeing the audience’s questions, she quickly waved her hand, then said, "No, I’m not selling products on the stream this time. And although I’ve said it many times, I still hope to emphasize once more, my streaming room only recommends products that I’ve personally used and liked. If you don’t really need them, then there’s no need to buy."

"How could that be, we can’t let our little sister suffer! Come on, post the link, I can’t wait any longer."

"Really, there isn’t anything today!"

"Then go accept a business offer already! Your brothers have money!"

Looking at the comments from viewers, Pingping felt a bit helpless.

Setting the issue of business offers aside, she sent the intelligence gathered by the Nano Machine to her viewers, then curiously asked, "Do you guys know what they’re doing?"

Having closely observed the behavior patterns of these platypus-like creatures for a while, the audience in the live stream room began to think.

A few minutes later, they simultaneously said, "I don’t get it."

"The AI of these platypus-like creatures must be glitching, right?"

"I guess their AI was also written by AI, so it’s normal for it to be a bit off."

"Shhh, now that you mention it, I’m getting seriously freaked out. Could this be the way AI reproduces?"

"I’m scared too. Could Fang Cheng Studio’s AI have come about this way? Some kind of cybernetic Darwinism!"

"I always feel like I’m grasping glimpses of Fang Cheng Studio’s dark secrets."

"Stop right there, let’s slowly uncover the secrets of Fang Cheng Studio later, now let’s first help sister Pingping solve this problem."

"Well said. Merely watching isn’t solving anything, so we need a guinea pig to help out. Pingping, do you have any players nearby?"

"I don’t know." Pingping shook her head, "No one nearby is in the ’Stellar Nebula’ player group I joined; I don’t know about others."

"Fine then, burn some merit and download the next plugin. It will help you locate nearby players, and then you’ll be able to try and communicate."

Looking at this player suggestion, Pingping was taken aback, then she asked, "Plugin?"

"Didn’t you download it before, sister Pingping? The plugin is quite powerful. Put it this way, ’Stellar Nebula’ is essentially a beta version, only complete when you add plugins."

"I get that feeling too. Once you’ve experienced the plugin once, you really can’t go back. ’Stellar Nebula’ was fun as it is, but the plugins give you a completely different feel, letting you truly enjoy the game."

Very receptive to advice, Pingping immediately followed the suggestions step by step and accessed the official website, finding the recommended plugin combinations for mechanics.

The previous gaming competition not only led to an explosive growth of games created by players but also taught them various programming tricks that could be used here.

The programming here was different from other places—it was a mix of wish-fulfilling and photon life skills that led to a plethora of plugins that could save players a lot of operation and costs.

And the integrated plugins could satisfy many previously unthinkable functions, dazzling Pingping as she browsed.

There were many recommended plugins, and for players who didn’t want to painstakingly decide which were suitable for their class, there were also entire packs available for direct download.

Although downloading plugins required spending some merit, it wasn’t expensive—a few hundred merit points could complete the download of all the desired plugins.

"It feels like a jailbroken phone, so many things are different. Does Fang Cheng Studio know about this?"

"Of course, they know. In fact, they even launched an official plugin leaderboard, integrating different plugins based on various functions, which are updated quickly and without any malware, what you just visited is their website."

Gaming companies had different attitudes towards plugins; some thought they disturbed their finely tuned game setups, while others utterly detested plugins, wishing they could completely eradicate them.
