Rage Jammer: When used on someone other than the user, the target will go into a rage state and have a high chance of doing something irrational. Lasts for fifteen minutes.
Super Accelerator: When used on the user, increases work efficiency by three times. Lasts for eight hours. Needs to sleep for more than ten hours after use to alleviate fatigue. Can only be used once every three days, or at your own risk.
"Super Accelerator? Not bad, I can use it when I'm rushing things. As for this Rage Jammer … What's the use of it? Does it make people angry and then beat me up so they can extort money from me …
"Whatever, I'll just keep it for now."
Chen Mo didn't have any use for these special items, but the Memory Playback Potions were crucial. Chen Mo didn't have to spend as much time trying to recall as he did last time.
He didn't bother looking at the Designer Skill Books, he ate them one by one.
After eating them all, Chen Mo estimated that his stats and level design, which were relatively weak before, should be around seventy, while his system skills should be around ninety.
His Story Writing skills should be even higher, probably close to full marks.
Of course, this was Chen Mo's estimation of his own abilities, there was no actual number.
After finishing the last Story Writing skill book, a dialog popped up on the screen, "Detected that your Story Writing skills have reached full marks. Do you wish to activate the second stage?"
Chen Mo was shocked. What the hell is this?
He clicked confirm.
A notification appeared on the screen, "Second stage of Story Writing skills has been unlocked. You can continue to draw Story Writing skills to increase your abilities."
There was a small note at the bottom, "Full marks for the first stage of Story Writing skills only means that your abilities have met the requirements of the game's story design. Please continue to work hard!"
Chen Mo read this sentence three times and finally understood what it meant.
"I feel like the language teacher in the system didn't leave peacefully …"
Chen Mo muttered to himself.
What this meant was that Chen Mo's Story Writing skills were only at full marks for the first stage, which only ensured that he was able to meet the requirements of a typical game's story design.
For example, if Chen Mo wanted to develop an interactive fiction game, he could easily fill in the dialogue and description of the story if he already had an outline and a script.
However, it was impossible for Chen Mo to come up with a classic scenario from scratch.
The second stage of his storytelling abilities was to strengthen this aspect of his abilities.
Chen Mo facepalmed, "There's still a long way to go. I thought I could fill up all the slots with ten million, looks like I was too naive …"
After calming himself down, Chen Mo ate the Special Skill Books.
Chen Mo's art, 3D art, music and sound effects had improved as well.
Immediately afterward, another dialog box popped up on the virtual screen.
"Detected that one of your abilities has reached the second stage. You can now preview your various true abilities."
Chen Mo was shocked, "Hmm? Does this count as unlocking a new function? "
On the virtual screen, Chen Mo's exact scores for each ability appeared. Previously, the score wasn't displayed, and Chen Mo had to rely on his own calculations. Now, he could finally pinpoint the exact number.
[System: 93]
Numerical Value: 72
[Stage: 71]
[Story Plot: 100] (Second stage unlocked)
[Original Art: 53]
[3D Art: 35]
[Animation: 10]
Music and Sound Effects: 20
Storyboarding Technique: 13
These numbers were Chen Mo's true abilities, including the abilities he had accumulated in his previous life, as well as the abilities he had gained from spending money in the parallel world.
In the Illusion Game Editor, Chen Mo's score was as follows:
[Chen Mo: Video Game Designer (C-grade)]
[Creativity: 49]
[System: 30]
[Numerical Value: 48]
[Level Design: 53]
[Story Plot: 15]
[Original Art: 36]
[3D Art: 1]
[Monthly Resource Quota
This was the score from the game editor, representing Chen Mo's abilities.
After developing Plants vs Zombies, Chen Mo's score had increased. Creativity, Numerical Value, and Level Design had increased significantly.
Moreover, with the popularity of Plants vs Zombies, Chen Mo was promoted from a D-grade videogame designer to a C-grade videogame designer.
As for the monthly resource quota, it wasn't that important to Chen Mo anymore, as he didn't really care about the free resources in the game editor anymore. However, he could still use it as a replacement resource.
After spending money, Chen Mo felt refreshed.
There were too many games to choose from, and some Chinese scammy games had finally become an option.
However, there were too many games to choose from, which was a problem. Chen Mo wasn't sure which game to work on at night, so he decided to go to bed first.
…
The next morning, Chen Mo was woken up by his phone ringing at half past eight in the morning.
As he opened his eyes, Chen Mo saw that it was Su Jinyu.
"Hello? What's up, are you taking the day off? "asked Chen Mo.
Su Jinyu's anxious voice came from the other side of the phone, "I'm not taking the day off. Manager, look online, Emperor Dynasty Entertainment is developing a game called Guardian of the Holy Spring. I think it's a copy of Plants vs Zombies!"
Chen Mo rolled around on the bed, changing into a more comfortable position, "Yep, I know. Didn't they release a demo two days ago? I just watched it last night."
Su Jinyu said, "Not only that, the designer of Guardian of the Holy Spring got flamed on Weibo by our players. In the end, many Emperor Dynasty Entertainment players retaliated, and even flamed you! Go look at your own Weibo. "
"Huh?" Chen Mo rolled over and sat up.
Wasn't it just a nap? How did such a thing happen?
Chen Mo got out of bed, then turned on his computer.
Indeed, his Weibo had been flooded by Emperor Dynasty Entertainment players. His latest Weibo post already had a few thousand comments, and the two groups of people were having a great time arguing.
Chen Mo spent twenty minutes to sort out the entire situation.
The cause was still the video that Chen Mo saw last night.
A certain player was playing Guardian of the Holy Spring in Emperor Dynasty Entertainment's experience store, and secretly recorded it with his phone, then uploaded it onto the internet.
This video had been up for two or three days, and was discovered by a few loyal Plants vs Zombies players last night. These people had a sense of justice, and went straight to the designer of Guardian of the Holy Spring, Qiu Bin's Weibo, and started flaming him, worded quite harshly.
"Hehe, I knew Emperor Dynasty Entertainment had to be involved when it comes to copying. A dog can't stop itself from eating sh * t."
"Indeed, a knockoff of Plants vs Zombies came out so quickly. I have to give it to you, your work efficiency is quite high."
"Plagiarism dog, and a B-grade videogame designer at that. He's so shameless for money!"
These few comments were pushed to the top, and soon, people noticed it.
Qiu Bin himself didn't say anything, but as a B-grade videogame designer, and one of the main designers of Emperor Dynasty Entertainment, he definitely had a large group of players supporting him, and many of them were diehard fans.
