In the Divine Pantheon. Zhenren Lihua waved her right hand, accessing the Divine System Interface.
She tapped on the Store Bulletin Board where Lin Mo posted the recording of the Celestial Duel Platform Alpha Test and played it.
On her left hand, she opened another translucent window, showing the feedback and suggestions that Lin Mo wrote and submitted hours after the test.
Lin Mo raised a few concerns over the ga's balance. Like the fact that Summon Reinforcent can summon a Level 5 Unit or how simple the other Spell Cards activation is.
He also pointed out the actual Battle Phases where he noted how the Units froze up after a command instead of moving autonomously.
It was one feature of the Celestial Duel Platform that could truly set it apart from that particular trading card ga.
What he envisioned wasn't a traditional turn-based ga but sothing mixed with elents of autobattler. A new type of strategy subgenre that had risen recently before his untily death.
Lihua's golden eyes skimd through the feedback, her fingers lightly tapping on the interface as she absorbed Lin Mo's words, listed what she could instantly work on, and took notes of what she could discuss with the other divine being responsible for the developnt of the Unit and Spell Cards.
"Hmm… It is indeed the right choice to have him test it himself. He's quick to notice the rigidity of the command system. The Developnt and Research Division have already deed it ready for release but with this, it can still be improved and perfected."
It was an issue she was aware of but seeing it pointed out so thoroughly reaffird its importance.
In traditional cultivation battles, combatants relied on fluidity and instinct, not direct commands. The Celestial Duel is closer to a General in a battlefield, placing their soldiers at the right and activating their strategies at the right mont.
Her fingers flicked across the interface, opening a direct discussion thread with the other divine beings involved in creating the [Celestial Duel Platform].
She's the one responsible for the [Celestial Duel System] but she had to get their input so she could apply the changes
A soft chi echoed in the divine halls as she sent a ssage.
[Goddess of Comrce and Harmony Lihua]: Reviewing Shopkeeper Lin's report. The issue with unit responsiveness needs imdiate attention. The current implentation makes the battle phase feel too chanical. Units must adapt and react on their own once given a general strategy, prioritizing movent and survival. Thoughts?
A few seconds later, soone replied. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire
[Scholar of Cosmic Insights Lingyan]: Agreed. The current system follows too closely to turn-based paradigms. It will require a dynamic behavior script. We can implent an 'instinctive battle mode' that lets units respond to situational threats independently.
[Lihua]: Good. Run a simulation on that and prepare an update for the next phase. Also, Shopkeeper Lin noted that terrain interactions need more depth. Right now, it's only visuals. Any updates?
[Master of Mystic Inscriptions Weizhi]: I'm working on it, lass! Wait a mont and I'll perfect the inscriptions on the Celestial Duel Gear. Environnts should affect mobility and attack effectiveness. Thinking of including weather conditions too. Could add strategy layers beyond just unit matchups. Also, Lihua. Tell that young lad to not work us like a mule! I may have to visit him if he continues this way.
Reading that, Lihua wryly smiled. The old man's temperant was still the sa. But she could tell he was passionate about this project.
That's because it's been centuries since sothing piqued his interest when it cos to applying his knowledge to arrays, formations, and inscriptions.
After thinking for a mont, an idea flickered in her head.
[Lihua]: Will do, Old Weizhi. But Shopkeeper Lin also said he's thoroughly impressed at how well-made the gear is.
[Weizhi]: Heh. But of course! I put all my thoughts into making them.
[Innovator of Divine chanics Xuanlu]: You talked as if you did all the work, old man. Hmph.
[God of Craft and Innovation Chuang]: I forged those Celestial Duel Gears! Your inscriptions and chanics are only inlaid in it!
Sensing that it was turning into quite an argunt, Lihua put a hand on her forehead as she tried to calm the old n down.
[Lihua]: Alright, alright. Let's not get caught up in technicalities. Your combined efforts are what made the Celestial Duel Gear what it is today. Let's focus on refining it further instead of bickering about who did what.
A brief pause. Then,
[Xuanlu]: I apologize, Lihua. I'm rely taking a shot at the grumpy old man.
[Weizhi]: Hmph. Are you still upset that I broke the inscription in your ancient jade pendant? That harlot left you and went to the Chaotic Faction. Stop getting so hung up!
[Chuang]: HAHAHA! Xuanlu, co and drink with . Let's discuss the other suggestions of Shopkeeper Lin.
Seeing the situation gradually diffusing, Lihua sighed in relief. These divine beings were all experts in their fields, but their egos could rival the mightiest cultivators. So of them were also still emotional despite being a divine being for hundreds of years. The emotions they cut off on their way to Immortal Ascension were gradually returning the mont their divinity was forged.
Turning back to Lin Mo's report, she tapped her fingers lightly as she began typing.
There was still the issue of Summon Reinforcent pulling in a Level 5 unit too easily. Even if Lin Mo attributed it to his Celestial Providence, that was sothing that could break the balance of the ga regardless of the low odds. Lucky players who can draw and activate that card early will tilt the battle unfairly in one round.
[Lihua]: Regarding the Summon Reinforcent issue, Lin Mo pointed out that it shouldn't be able to summon the highest-tier units. We need a way to balance that. We can either remove it entirely or set a condition for it to happen. Any ideas?
[Xuanlu]: Introduce a summoning cooldown based on the power of the unit. A Level 5 unit shouldn't be summoned in Round 2.
[Lingyan]: Alternatively, the summoned unit could enter the battlefield with a temporary restriction. Like limited movent or reduced stats for the first round. Or it had to be returned to the deck after the round. That way, it doesn't imdiately dominate the field.
[Weizhi]: A restriction like that could work. Though, maybe we should leave this to the ones responsible for the card creation.
[Lihua]: Understood. I'll bring this up to them when they're available. In the anti, let's fine-tune this and get ready for its release.
After ensuring that all the key points had been addressed, Lihua closed the report window and glanced at the Store Bulletin Board one last ti.
Lin Mo's involvent was truly invaluable. His insight went beyond just playing the ga. He understood the balance, the chanics and how it could be made more engaging.
Another smile graced Lihua's lips.
"I should personally visit the store again after this gets released."
For now, though, she had a ga to refine and a number of divine beings to remind.

Back in the Divine Convenience Store, Lin Mo was back at the checkout counter, attending to the remaining custors.
In one way or another, he reached a consensus with the Poison Demon Cult High Priest and sent him on his way.
"I cannot make him an Official Distributor without them renouncing their faith. If Yangyang is already alard just by their re presence, the old man will definitely not allow the store to work with followers of a Chaotic Deity no matter how insignificant the deity is. They can only beco custors."
After handing out the receipt and change to the custor, Lin Mo's gaze shifted to the door.
There, Yu Qingyan strode in. Little Spring and another Verdant Sky Pavilion disciple followed behind her.
Looks like she's ready to depart for her first venture as the Official Distributor of the Divine Convenience Store.
