Chapter 24 The War Of Luhua Village

If Zhou Yu could choose, he still preferred the Idol flower seed. Even if he didn’t have any proper facilities to raise an idol, the worst idol could still be sold for several thousand Moe Coins. To Zhou Yu who had run out of the coins, the idol flower was the best way and the quickest way to make coins.

To put it this way, the blank seed was specially used to raise talented people. So far, he had three types of hoes. He could raise a “musician”, a “manga artist” or an “animation director”. The use of “musician” was not clear at the moment, so it was not necessary to raise it for the time being. There was a copycat manga artist at the moment, so he also didn’t need a new manga artist. Therefore, he left with “animation director”.

The sad thing was that it would also cost money. The animation base needed 1500 Moe Coins. But by just looking at the game company, Zhou Yu knew that there were many areas have “hidden charges”. So before he was able to gather another 3000 Moe Coins, he could not afford to build an animation base.

But then again, it took him one month to grow the idol flower, and then another week to raise little Niannian. Perhaps, raising an animation director would cost the same amount of time. So if he started to save coins now, he should be able to save 3000 Moe Coins.

Of course, there would be another outcome. It was that the plant would fail to evolve, just like little Niannian. When he thought of this, he decided to use a new flower pot, instead of using the flower pot that he used to grow little Niannian. He hoped that by using the new flower pot, it would bring luck.

The musical soil would emit musical symbols from time to time. The manga soil would emit ink, and currently, the animation soil was emitting many unknown animated characters. They would make a few silly moves before they slowly disappeared in the air.

Speaking of this, there was another thing that also needed to be mentioned. It was that aunt Hehua who was from the old village chief’s family, once borrowed Beethoven’s birch hoe to remove the wild weeds in her farm. In the end, her farm was emitting musical symbols all day long. Luckily, no one apart from Zhou Yu could see it. Otherwise, who knows how other villagers would react.

Upon returning the hoe, aunt Hehua was constantly praising how good and effective the hoe was. It was just that it looked rather garish. Who would carved dragons and painted phoenix their hoes? It even made her fear to use strength on the hoe. She was scared that she might break it.

Now that the wild weeds had been removed, every time when Zhou Yu passed that farm, he would stop to observe the spectacular scenery of the whole farm was emitting musical symbols. Moreover, that area had more small beasts than other places. Perhaps, they were attracted by the musical soil.

After planting the bank seed, Zhou Yu began to test the tier-three game – “The War Of Luhua village”

Because he couldn’t upgrade his company any time soon, so this time, he chose the war game, of which the quality could be increased by 20% by the soldier’s development team. So it could be considered as a great opportunity for the soldier’s development team to do something that they were good at.

Upon entering the game, the first thing that Zhou Yu evaluated was its graphics.

The Farming Simulation could get 2 points at the most, The Myth Of Luhua Village could get 6 points for its CG animation, but the gameplay could only get 4 points. But the opening CG animation of The War Of Luhua Village could get 8 points! The games that could get the same points in the current market were the latter series of ARMA or the latter series of Call Of Duty. So it was pretty good.

After Zhou Yu entered the game, he noticed that the average gameplay could get 6 points or maybe a little bit higher. It was still not too bad. At least, with Zhou Yu’s gaming experiences, he thought that it would not be a bad commercial game.

Checking the contents of the game.

Surprisingly, the main character was Zhou Hao that naughty kid, and he was wearing a military uniform. With 6 points in graphic, the 3D character of Zhou Hao was easily recognizable. This naughty kid, who had just attracted a lot of attention in the “movie” once again, became the main character of a game. His life was truly full and interesting.

And in terms of the real Zhou Hao, he was currently buried under piles of homework, shouting in desperation that why there was so much homework to do. To him, probably this was also the part of his full and interesting life.

The new school term would start tomorrow, so this was the cost of only having funs in the holidays. Therefore he couldn’t blame anyone.

Because the main character was a kid, so the main storyline was also written in a fairy tale style.

In the quiet Luhua village, people had long been in peace with the little monsters known as ‘Fuzai’. Although they were very small, and their average height was only about 10cm, they had special abilities. They would help the villagers to adjust weather conditions so they could have a bumper harvest. And the villagers would also give a share of the harvest to Fuzai as gifts.

However, this peace had encountered a crisis.

No one knows when, but a group of naughty Fuzai appeared. They rode all kinds of strange weapons, creating all kinds of troubles in the village, and destroying all kinds of crops. In order to prevent Fuzai from going complete mayhem, The Children’s Regiment of Luhua Village decided to counterattack and launch an investigation on the cause of the naughty Fuzai, and Zhou Hao was the head of the Children’s Regiment.

The counterattack method was to use the inventions of “the doctor strange” in the village. And when Zhou Yu saw the so-called “the doctor strange”, he almost spat water. Because that “doctor” was him. Having chicken-nest-like messy hairs, wearing a dirty white coat and having a pair of flip flops on his feet, to be honest, it was actually quite like his image.

The strange doctor had invented many small weapons, and he was able to make children even smaller, so they could fit into many types of equipment. Those equipment were tanks, airplanes, and warships.

Hence, a war between the children of Luhua village and the small beast was begun.

In the beginning, there were only two or three people in The Children’s Regiment. But as the story progressed, many friends with different personalities slowly joined in. Of course, Zhou Hao, as the main character of the game, was able to master all three types of equipment. However, the rest of the regiment members had different merits. Different campaign environments would require different members to enter the battlefield.

The land battle, air combat, sea battle, upgrades and modification of various weapons, adding skill points to every regiment members, etc… not only those mechanisms enriched the game content, but they also made the game much more fun to play.

The story of the game began like the Fire Emblem series. It gave Zhou Yu a wrong impression that the game was a turn based game. But he did not expect that once he entered the battlefield, he was already in a tank, heading toward the enemy. With the 3D environment and all the teammates were controlled by AI, it was almost the same as World Of Tanks or Fianlfire this type of games.

In the beginning, the first character that the player controlled was Zhou Hao, but the player could switch characters at any time. Once the player switched, the main character would be controlled by AI. The mission completion requirements were different. Sometimes the player needed to eliminate all the enemy, other times, the player needed to save someone, or capture some places in order to build some defense. In short, there were all kinds of missions.

Just when Zhou Yu was having fun with the game, Zhou Hao this naughty kid sneaked into his room while holding a pile of homework.

“Brother Yu, could you help me to do some home… huh, that is me!”

Before he was able to ask Zhou Yu to help him to do the homework, Zhou Hao’s attention was instantly attracted by the game. It just happened when the main character was casting out his ultimate skill, so the game specially showed a close-up CG animation. It was the reason why Zhou Hao could instantly recognize that it was him.

Pulling a chair over, he sat next to Zhou Yu shamelessly while looking at the computer. He even completely forgot that he still had some homework to do.

“Little Rat, you have school tomorrow, go finish your homework,” although Zhou Yu was speechless, he still needed to persuade this little guy. He did not mind himself addicted to games, however, he did not want to give other kids the bad influences.

“Brother Yu, please! Can I just play one round? Just one round.”

The kids nowadays were very smart. Although they were just in primary school, they were already familiar with computers. Because the computers at their houses were controlled by their parent, they could not download any games they like. However, they could come to Zhou Yu’s place and play with Zhou Yu’s computer.

Although Zhou Yu had principles, he was not a type of person that was good at refusing other people’s requests, especially kids’. Therefore, he thought for a second and said, “okay, but you must complete your homework by yourself first. Then you can come to my house and play for a while every day after school.”

“Really? It’s a deal!”

Zhou Hao instantly jumped up excitedly while shouted, “if you lie to me, you will become a puppy.” then he quickly rushed home to complete his homework.
