“But it’s all furry, and I can’t see its muscles, so it’s still cute!”
“You anthropomorphs!”
In the heart-wrenching cries, Number Two understood.
His efforts were seen as just cute acts in the eyes of anthropomorphs.
Slumped on the ground, he said weakly, “Tired, whatever.”
“Would you like some nuts?” Pingping asked with concern.
“…Yes.”
After soothing Number Two, Pingping once again comforted the Pixie Flower.
Although the flower on its head was pulled off, it was just a part of its mimicry, akin to human hair.
Aside from Mr. Shen, most people don’t care too much about their hair, and neither did the Pixie Flower.
Moreover, unlike Mr. Shen, the Pixie Flower’s hair regenerated very quickly, and soon, a new flower sprouted.
Having been badly beaten, the Pixie Flower developed great respect for Number Three and, by extension, some fear of Number Two.
And through Beta, Pingping also learned about the Pixie Flower’s reason for attacking.
It was jealousy.
They could recognize an owner, but they could also feel jealous; it’s best not to let two animal and plant spirits meet at the same time, as this would cause them to compete against each other.
Unless the animal and plant spirits don’t compete for the same ecological niche and have a solid emotional foundation between them, only then might they coexist peacefully.
After hearing Beta’s explanation and seeing the Pixie Flower acting normally again, and beginning to fawn over Pingping, the audience thought it wouldn’t be bad to bring a pet along later for a tour of the Botanic Garden.
So this Easter egg is the pet system after all!
At home watching the livestream, Xiao Douzi also shouted with excitement, uncontrollably thrilled.
Unlike those who only saw the cuteness of the animal and plant spirits, he thought back to the values Fang Cheng had given and finally understood Fang Cheng’s true intent.
So these Easter eggs are the animal and plant spirit pets!
At this moment, his feelings were like Archimedes in the bath, wishing he could emulate that ancient sage, strip off his clothes, and take a lap around before coming back.
Who would have guessed that the Easter egg arranged in the game by the boss would be this!
Thinking back on his previous deductions, he realized how close they had come to the truth.
Despite knowing that the boss had arranged for over eight hundred different animal and plant characteristics, and despite having seen the methods for summoning animals and plants posted, he failed to grasp the intricacies and in the end, it was the players who discovered it through other Easter egg linkages.
However, it’s not too late!
Taking out the data given by Fang Cheng, he immediately began making adjustments.
He knew the data of Pokémon by heart, having even won a regional championship once, so he was highly proficient with all aspects of the data.
Yet, even so, he could only make a rough adjustment, as the volume of data was indeed vast.
But that didn’t matter, the players would take action.
News of the Easter egg had spread, and it wouldn’t take long for the players to learn how to trigger it and each own an animal and plant spirit.
Then, they would inevitably engage in battles, rapidly consolidating data from all aspects, and at that time, players’ adjustments to the data would be more efficient than now.
Working through the night for three days straight, Xiao Douzi holed up at home, treating Spiritual Tea like water and instant noodles like food, his spirit reviving more and more, even beginning to glow with health.
After finalizing the initial draft, he couldn’t wait to dash to the company and laid the revised proposal in front of Fang Cheng.
At that moment, Xiao Douzi had red eyes, was panting heavily, his hair was messy like a bird’s nest, and there was a lingering odor of having been cooped up for too long.
But his eyes were bright, shining with vitality, and the slender figure carried a sense of presence, making it seem as if he had grown significantly in an instant.
Before Fang Cheng could speak, Xiao Douzi immediately said, “I know, I’ve worked three days and nights straight, I’m off to get some rest now, but I just couldn’t hold back! This is the new data; I’ve rushed it out! Huang Ping, I came here just to tell you this, I’m off!”
He tossed the USB drive to Huang Ping and gave him a thumbs-up.
No need for many words, just one look conveyed Xiao Douzi’s sincerity to Huang Ping.
He too had seen the Easter egg of “Botanic Garden” and deduced its true content, amazed that Fang Cheng could actually keep it to himself.
You hid an animal and plant spirit pet in the game, and you actually managed to keep silent?
It’s not just eight, or eighty, but eight hundred!
Huang Ping suspected that the boss was also incessantly working overtime, stowing away any ideas as they came, which over time resulted in a wealth of content.
And when a suitable idea occurred, he would integrate these materials.
The sensitivity to the game, the recycling of materials, the control over the overall quality of the game—all of that truly warranted the label of genius.
But working overtime in secret, that’s too much!
Someday, I’ll find evidence of your overtime and announce it to the world!
From then on, I will ensure that all studio employees have the freedom to work overtime!
Taking the USB drive, Huang Ping returned Xiao Douzi a “I get it” look.
The romance of men can often be conveyed with just a glance.
Xiao Douzi was already spent, but before leaving, he passed his results to Huang Ping and believed he would definitely be successful.
Wiping the tears from the corner of his eyes, Huang Ping nodded vigorously.
Go ahead, Xiao Douzi.
I will.
You take your well-deserved rest.
We’ll see each other in eight days.
Their exchange was wordless, like a slow-motion scene, leaving Wang Xiaoying and Xu Qingling, who were watching, utterly stunned.
