C1 – Meet a girl after transmigration. Clickety-clack. “Oh yes, that’s right…” Liu Yuan tapped away on the keyboard. He could not help but chuckle with pride. His face looked emaciated, dark circles were gouged under his eyes. The bleak light from the computer made him look uncanny. On the screen was the discussion forum for a video game named Upper Center. He was about to post his latest how-to game strategy. ‘Upper Center’ was an MMORPG or a mass multi-player online role-playing game, in the Xianxia genre. ‘Heavenly Tao Games’, a budding video game company, had produced it as its sole flagship game. It was undisputedly the most popular online game in recent years. The highest number of simultaneous online players had exceeded ten million, thus setting a new record.
From adults in their forties to five-year-olds, everyone had been exposed to the game. The game was not like the other mediocre MMORPGs or those games in which it cost money even to breathe. The developers had made it inclusive without compromising quality. The game design was really good and the graphics were excellent. The background score and art were beautiful. The game modeling was top-notch. Last but not the least, the NPCs’ AI computing ability was path-breaking, never before seen. It presented the players with an almost perfect sandbox-style Xianxia world.
Moreover, the gameplay had exciting features. There was a card collection function similar to card draw games, including roleplay of gal games. There was a dedicated game guide system as well. In other words, Upper Center had succeeded in achieving a balance in the game system. No wonder it had reached its current heights of popularity. Liu Yuan was a battle-strategy maniac who had turned the Xianxia video game into a gal game. He had just posted on the forum about the strongest, hottest, six-star female character in the game — Misty Flower the mistress of the Sea Slashing Tower. Liu Yuan had also attached a strategy guide in the thread. [Help] [Newbie seeking advice! I am confused. It seems like I got a CG character.] A picture was attached — “Achievement: Embroidery of the Dragon.” On the picture, a beautiful woman with cascading white hair, dressed in black sheer satin robes. She reclined on a bed and under her disorderly clothes one could vaguely see her shapely, snow-white legs. Black iron cuffs hung on her slender ankles.
