The next weekend, in the Hearthstone Tavern.
A group of Dwarves didn't hit any Hearthstones today. They all gathered behind a strange magic machine and stared at the screen.
"How many times has it been?"
Josiah stretched and moved his fingers. He made some changes to the parameters of the raw crystal inscription inside the magic machine.
Last night, Josiah asked Frost Axe to deliver a raw crystal that was as tall as a person. Josiah specifically requested for the quality to be average.
The raw crystal that Frost Axe delivered didn't disappoint Josiah. There were a lot of impurities in it. In Frost Axe's words, "This is trash that we use to burn as coal."
Josiah spent the entire night and the entire morning to turn this' coal 'into one of Josiah's childhood memories … the arcade game.
Currently, Josiah had begun to develop a large-scale game like World Scar using inscriptions.
With Shiratori's powerful programming assistance, Josiah spent the entire night creating a fighting game that used to be a huge hit in the arcade … The King of Fighters 97.
The style of this game and its costumes didn't fit in with this world. After all, it was a game set in the modern world. Josiah didn't make any magical modifications.
"I still think this guy's hairstyle is weird. Isn't he afraid of being grabbed by the hair in a fight?"
Hiri was Josiah's tester …
Ever since Josiah created the prototype of this game last night, Hiri began to familiarize herself with another operating system — the joysticks and buttons on the arcade game.
"I think this is cool?" Josiah didn't know how to describe it.
Hiri was ridiculing one of the main male characters in the King of Fighters, Iori Yagami.
His costume was slightly avant-garde in Hiri's eyes, but Josiah still felt that it could be described as' cool '.
"Really?" Hiri expressed her doubt.
"Only this character. This outfit only looks good on this character."
Josiah didn't dare to imagine that someone would dress like this in real life. He would probably be beaten up ten times if he walked on the street.
Some specific outfits were only suitable for specific characters.
"I've already fixed the feeling of impact that appeared just now."
The inscription on Josiah's hand disappeared. His other hand once again grasped the joystick and entered the selection interface.
Due to the lack of time, Josiah could only make a semi-finished product … There were only four teams to choose from in this semi-finished product, but the general framework of the game was already done.
"You're not allowed to use the redhead this time."
Hiri also put her hand on the joystick. She had realized that the character named Iori Yagami used by Josiah was terrifyingly powerful.
"Sure," Josiah said and chose the guest role of Terry in "Legend of the Hungry Wolf".
This character in "King of Fighters 97" had a maneuver that Josiah thought was a bug, and that was … unlimited combo.
Therefore, Josiah didn't show any mercy. He directly pushed Loana, who was chosen by Hiri, into the sky, leaving Hiri in a state where her hands left the joystick and waited for death.
"Ahem … that's all for today's test," Josiah said to Hiri after this match.
"Again."
Hiri took out a coin with a special inscription and threw it in.
This battle lasted for nearly an hour. In the end, the dwarves led by Frost Axe stood up and said to Josiah, "What's this? Let us play too! "At this suggestion, Josiah and Hiri finally gave up their positions.
"It seems like we need to make a few more."
Hiri looked at the scene of the dwarves surrounding the arcade. They showed great curiosity towards new things, especially new things created by Josiah.
"Hmm, let's go to the continent next door and make a few. I've already thought of the design."
Josiah ordered three portions of barbecued meat in front of the tavern counter and brought Hiri all the way to the study on the second floor of the tavern.
Qianmian was sitting in Josiah's seat and controlling the Orange Cat.
This Orange Cat had now become the third in charge of the Sewing Gang. Although it was a temporary position, it still supervised the carpenters under the Sewing Gang to make what Josiah wanted.
From the angle controlled by Qianmian, Orange Cat looked down at the people in the Sewing Gang cutting up some wood and then starting to polish it.
"Their craftsmanship is very crude. It's hard to imagine how they built those buildings on the street."
Qianmian commented on the work of the group of carpenters. While Josiah was making the King of Fighters, Qianmian was the one who controlled the Orange Cat.
Like an occupational hazard, she explored the surroundings of the city. The buildings in the city had existed for a certain period of time. In Qianmian's eyes, the buildings themselves were very exquisite.
However, the group of craftsmen in the Sewing Gang made Qianmian very disappointed.
"Civilization Gap." Josiah subconsciously said a word. "According to the information of the Merfolk's lady, Hemina, the Grey Fog may have spread to this continent a hundred to two hundred years ago. The Merfolk fled this continent, but after the Grey Fog invaded the other tribes, the Grey Fog did not kill them … but limited their development."
"Did the development of magic and industry stagnate?"
Hiri had studied with the purple-clothed man for a long time, and the purple-clothed man had also taught her some of the history of Noland.
In this world, magic and industrial development were inseparable, just like science on Earth.
But in another continent, magic was a forbidden existence. Coupled with the legality of the Laughter Mixture, everyone on this continent wasted their lives in this fake 'laughter'.
"Now I can only wait for the expeditionary army of the Waterfront Nation to arrive. It's too dangerous to use this Orange Cat to explore the main body of the Grey Fog," Josiah said.
"And then you plan to use this time to plan a rebellion?" Qianmian asked tentatively.
"Rising Righteousness? I have a script in my mind that is very suitable for … this city. " Josiah looked at the numb people on the screen. "But first, I have to wake them up a little. These people's brains are almost corroded by the Grey Fog."
"But even if they wake up … no one will be willing to follow a cat in a rebellion, right?" Hiri said softly, and at the same time, a small flag made of illusions appeared in her hand. "But the scene of a cat holding up a flag and shouting for revolution … I have to say, it's quite interesting."
"I don't plan to call them."
Josiah stared at the screen on the Weave. The leader of the Sewing Gang, Marceau, had already walked in to check on the progress of their work.
"The Joy Potion is legal in this city, and the city lord even encourages them to use it. That's why the people don't have any thoughts of resisting … But the Primordial Crystals and our Power of Faith are absolutely prohibited items in this world ruled by the gray fog."
Josiah watched the workers below gradually cover a raw crystal that was as tall as a person with wooden planks.
"The Power of Faith can also bring them happiness, but only when they play this' Arcade Game 'and' Little Tyrant 'will they be able to absorb a bit of the Power of Faith. If this' Arcade Game 'becomes popular in the city in the future, the City Lord will definitely not be able to sit still. He will think of a way to completely destroy it. At that time, a kind of emotion called anger will burst forth."
Josiah took the small flag that Hiri constructed with illusions and said.
"When that time comes, we only need to stir up a little, and we can wave the flag and shout the battle cry."
