Chapter 694: Chapter 555: Who Said We’d Only Play for Half a Day?! (Part 2)
“Those stories… each one is more exciting than the last. Through them, you can learn about the customs and culture of the Oros Half-plane, discover its historical tales, and find that even just a ga map can give you a grand epic feel…”
“By the way, do you rember that new plot in our comic earlier?”
Mao Mo looked at Cao Lingxuan.
The girl raised her eyebrows and asked,
“Is it the plot twist where the protagonist’s first love strayed from the path for him? It seed to have a good response among readers, but when the character died, you got quite a bit of flak…”
“Hahaha, getting criticized ans my drawing was successful.”
Mao Mo laughed.
“The inspiration for that plot ca from the stories of the Oros Half-plane and is related to a Half-Elf nad Oros.”
he said.
Hearing this, Cao Lingxuan couldn’t help but ask,
“How did you beco so familiar with this ga? When did you learn so much?”
“Haha, of course, through ga videos!”
Mao Mo laughed heartily.
Cao Lingxuan: …
*That’s right.*
*Mr. Black Cat has been obsessed with ga videos for over half a year now!*
*How could I have forgotten about this?*
*No wonder he was so at ease once he entered the ga…*
And Mao Mo continued to explain,
“Since I wasn’t selected for the ga testing earlier, I had to resort to getting material from watching videos. So over ti, even though I hadn’t entered the ga, I already knew a lot.”
Saying this, his expression carried a hint of emotion,
“‘Elf Kingdom’ truly is a treasure trove.”
“Every NPC here is a story, and not only that… their stories are interwoven, forming a highly complete historical network, giving a person a sense of reality and depth beyond words…”
“A player once conducted an experint by talking to different NPCs, listening to their pasts, and then recording their stories. He was surprised to find that the stories of different NPCs were actually interconnected…”
“For example, an NPC who experienced a war might ntion other NPCs in his story. If you go to find these NPCs, you can also learn about the war details from their personal perspectives…”
“Hehe, such a technique is actually present in many RPGs, but the most astonishing thing about ‘Elf Kingdom’ is that the NPC interactions are not just about a war or a storyline.”
“If you dig deeper, you’ll find that their lives are intertwined, with every detail reflecting different NPCs. Their backstories aren’t singular; they themselves form a very exaggerated network of relationships.”
“Needless to say, among all the elves in the Elf Forest, if you start with anyone and trace their interpersonal relationships, within four or five steps, you can find almost all the elven NPCs.”
“This layering of connections brings a sense of reality and depth that other gas just don’t have.”
Hearing this, Cao Lingxuan couldn’t help but say,
“This sounds like a real world.”
“It is a real world.”
Mao Mo said.
“Creating the most realistic, imrsive epic fantasy ever! This… is the slogan of ‘Elf Kingdom.’ They’ve achieved it, and they’ve done it better than anyone could imagine, no… or rather, beyond anyone’s imagination!”
“Not only that, the NPCs aren’t unchangeable, or rather… their interactions with players are very open as well.”
“You’ll find that the NPCs have their own lives and emotions. Players can freely communicate with them and even beco their friends…”
“At the sa ti, players’ actions also influence the NPCs, affecting their beliefs, behaviors, and choices, thus impacting the entire narrative direction.”
“Just like the opening storyline says, every player is a writer and witness of history.”
Mao Mo said with a touch of emotion.
“Could it be… that NPCs might even fall in love with players?”
Cao Lingxuan asked curiously.
“Hmm? Are you talking about Nightingale?”
Mao Mo glanced at the girl.
He stroked his chin and said,
“Speaking of which… Nightingale’s story is quite classic, with a bit of a heroic rescue flavor, albeit a little cliched.”
Cao Lingxuan: …
“So… when you talk about getting material, is it aid at these NPCs?”
Looking at Mao Mo’s profile, she felt a stirring in her heart and asked.
“BINGO! You got it right!”
Mao Mo snapped his fingers.
Saying this, his expression grew a bit complicated,
“To be honest, after gradually understanding the NPC background stories of ‘Elf Kingdom,’ I felt a deep sense of frustration…”
“Hmm?”
The girl’s expression was surprised.
Mao Mo sighed,
“Xiao Cao, you should know that what I’ve always been most proud of is the realism and rigor of my comic’s worldview, including the authenticity and depth of my story characters…”
“I always believed that only I could present such incredibly real stories to readers. No one could surpass in character creation and story progression, but after learning about ‘Elf Kingdom,’ I realized just how naive I was…”
“The ones who designed the ‘Elf Kingdom’ worldview, the NPCs of Elf Kingdom, and the character backstories in ‘Elf Kingdom,’ they are the real masters!”
Cao Lingxuan: …
