Chapter 319: Chapter 203 The Boss is Right Again (First Update)_2

“`

He had thought they would be utterly crushed by “Fallen Mecha” in every aspect, but now, after seeing the individual performances, he felt that “Fallen Mecha” seemed not so fearsome after all.

This feeling might be an illusion, but when making a game, if you don’t have the spirit of “I am the best in the world,” you definitely can’t produce that particular flavor.

After discussing everyone’s tasks, Huang Ping announced the end of the meeting and then left to play with the framework given by Fang Cheng.

Although it was nominally a framework, Huang Ping knew that Fang Cheng had actually completed more than sixty percent of it.

The game’s core mechanics had already been set up, the game editor was fully prepared, and even the Easter eggs were planted, just waiting for players to discover them.

However, upon actually entering the game, Huang Ping felt that this time the completion degree seemed not high enough.

To play the game, one needed to first log into “Space Navigator,” which counted as a DLC for “Space Navigator.”

In the player’s own flagship, a small mirror would appear, and upon approaching the mirror, they could walk through it into a Mirror World. On the other side of that world was this new game.

The rudimentary platform made Huang Ping feel somewhat disappointed, but when he summoned the mecha, his pupils instantly dilated.

Hundreds of mecha parts appeared before his eyes, all mech parts were interchangeable and usable together.

A mecha was divided into six parts: head, torso, core, legs, power furnace, and weapons, and the torso could be equipped with six types of chips. Together with personalized paintwork, players could easily build their own unique mecha.

Just looking through the variety of components for a single part was an eye-opener for Huang Ping. He had never imagined that just one part could have so many variations.

It took him a while to assemble a model, and he hadn’t even finished adding the chips or the paintwork when he heard the end-of-work bell ring.

“It’s time to leave, I’m heading out first. Sanmiao, remember to clear the room,” he said.

Fang Cheng patted Sanmiao’s head, provoking a meow in response.

He left the studio first, so the others wouldn’t feel awkward about leaving. In any case, Sanmiao would have driven them out if they had not left on their own.

Leaving the studio in a daze, Huang Ping asked his colleagues, “Have you all finished creating your characters?”

“No.”

“I spent an hour just looking at the descriptions.”

“I think I have decision paralysis. I still can’t decide on a head part.”

“Same here.”

Realizing that no one had made their selections, Huang Ping felt a bit more at ease, but he was also filled with apprehension about the upcoming game.

Just character creation alone was so time-consuming. Would they be able to complete the content within half a month?

The next day, Huang Ping rushed to the studio and immediately turned on his computer to continue experiencing the game.

Suppressing his OCD tendencies, he quickly completed the character creation and could finally move on to the next step.

The mecha he constructed was a heavy-duty mecha full of synthetic muscles, with heavy legs that made it stand more firmly, and black paint that gave it the solid presence of a rock.

Just from the appearance, you could tell that this mecha should be able to withstand most damage.

When construction was finished, terrifying red lights shone from the mecha’s eyes, and then it grabbed a squirrel from the ground and stuffed it into its cockpit.

Upon entering the cockpit, the change in perspective made Huang Ping quickly get into character, and as he looked down, he even felt a slight fear of heights.

Soon after, Huang Ping’s heart started to burst with joy.

This was exactly the feel he wanted!

He had always wanted to know how to make players realize they had boarded a mecha, and now it seemed that the method was quite simple—a switch in perspective was all it took.

If VR were used, the effect would definitely be better, and it would be easier to make players feel the enormity of controlling a huge beast.

As he piloted the heavy mecha forward, Huang Ping was surprised to find that everything he wanted, Fang Cheng seemed to have provided.

The movement method was slow but solid, and the rough walking action was exactly the mecha experience he wanted to have, and now he had found it all in the game.

“Next, onto the following stage.”

“`

He invoked the command, switched the scene, and Huang Ping found the environment around him had undergone a drastic change.

A bustling planetary city appeared before him, only that the city was devoid of people.

The transition of the entire city was instantaneous; when he landed, an extended bus was crushed under his foot into a thin sheet, and the ground sank due to his arrival, demonstrating his current weight.

Only after comparing himself with the surrounding buildings did Huang Ping realize he had reached a height of sixty-three meters.

This height was equivalent to a twenty-one-story building, and the nearby structures seemed like mere toys.

Huang Ping swung his fist at a skyscraper.

With a punch that was forceful and heavy, the steel-reinforced concrete crumbled as if hit by a spaceship, and the tall building collapsed with a thunderous fall, just like a dying giant, heavy upon its descent to the ground.

Dust billowed, and a deafening sound erupted, the incomparable sense of power causing Huang Ping’s brain to crash, filled with only one word: “Domination!”

And this was just the beginning.

He began to wreak havoc in the city, quickly reducing it to rubble, and in the midst of the soaring dust, he felt his urge for destruction perfectly vented, which made him catch his breath.

This thing was such a stress reliever!

The realistic modeling made him feel as if he was truly demolishing a city. Since there were no people, destroying the city didn’t carry any guilt—there was only a display of power, and an unprecedented sense of release.

Eager to try out the next feature, Huang Ping quickly opened the control panel.

After choosing to summon the spaceship, Huang Ping saw fifty ships materialize out of thin air above him.

These were entry-level combat spacecraft, seventeen meters in length, exactly matching the specifications from “Space Navigator.”

On a normal day, these would appear as colossal entities, but now, they seemed no different from toys.

Once refreshed, these spaceships began charging towards Huang Ping, their concentrated cannon fire hitting his armor, causing such intense vibrations that Huang Ping couldn’t see anything clearly.

“I should have added a shock-absorbing chip…”

With a casual swing of his arm, he cleaved an approaching spaceship in half, and the violent explosion made Huang Ping viscerally feel his own violence, further fueling his excitement.

“Come on! Keep it coming!”

Green forcefields tried to bind him, but with a fierce effort, he tore them apart.

Picking up the fragments from the ground, he hurled them at the spaceships above, watching one get sliced in half for failing to dodge in time, its explosion like splendid fireworks.

Continuing to test new enemies, it was only an hour later, amidst the assault from a multitude of large battleships, that Huang Ping met his destruction.

Resetting everything to the initial state, Huang Ping leaned back in his chair, gasping for air intensely.

The experience he just had was incredibly thrilling and satisfying!

Through the control console, Huang Ping discovered he could not only summon battleships, but various Cosmic Behemoths, Shadows, Evil Gods, and even Gods could become his enemies.

However, to contend with these much more formidable foes, a Mecha alone would not suffice.

Weapons needed to be carefully matched, and chips had to be utilized well. Six chips were sufficient for him to craft an even more powerful Mecha, giving him the strength to face a God in battle!

This was truly exhilarating!

No wonder the boss seemed indifferent toward “Fallen Mecha.”

Although both are mecha games, they are fundamentally different. The game Fang Cheng provided could perfectly integrate with the gameplay of “Fallen Mecha,” allowing players to feel as if they’re truly operating a Mecha.

Ordinary shooting could be disregarded here; what players want is to be the Mecha, to use the Mecha, to crave the Mecha!

Looking around, Huang Ping noticed his colleagues were already immersed in the shock and awe of piloting a Mecha. Lin Nan even had his mouth agape, his eyes shining with gold as he stared at the screen, incessantly tapping on the keyboard, fighting against something unknown.

Nodding in satisfaction, Huang Ping knew that the boss had made the right call again.

The boss was truly impressive!
