After being convinced by Tang En, Yusdisa immediately arranged for the relevant personnel to start the corresponding development work.
Although they now had a lot of experience in developing programs, it was still the first time they had developed an "online game" that included a lot of interaction with users and a variety of rich scenes and content.
The project had encountered a large number of problems right from the start. Because of their lack of experience, they had no idea where to start with almost everything. Many times, they had to wait for Tang En to come over and remind them. The development progress was very slow.
After a few times, Tang En simply pulled out of the spell model project department and squeezed out a period of time to develop online games with them. After all, this was also a very important business.
With the addition of Tang En, the development speed of the project suddenly sped up. The main reason was that his rich experience allowed the programmers to avoid many detours. In addition, any gaming experience in his memory was new to the natives of this world. They could use it as they wished, and there was no need to worry about the game failing.
Moreover, he had a unique advantage here, which was that he did not have to pay copyright fees for the development of the game. All the background story, all the technology, and all the personnel were his. The development cost was almost zero. The only thing he needed to pay was the cost of time. What did he need to worry about?
In the beginning, the programmers of the project team had created a small project under Tang En's leadership. They had developed a small game to practice their skills. Through the development of this small game, they could understand the meaning of the game, as well as the needs of the users. At the same time, they could accumulate experience.
Only half a month after Tang En joined the team, they successfully developed the first game that could be played in a real sense.
When the engineers saw that Twain had finally nodded in approval of the results of their work, they heaved a sigh of relief and were finally released from the state of Haste. Then, they looked at each other and felt as if they had just escaped death. Twain's expectations of them were too high. The pressure during the development process was simply terrifying!
But in Tang En's view, this was normal. How could they be called programmers if they did not use the "Spur of Love" to urge them to work overtime?
However, seeing that the game they developed was successfully running on the artificial soul quantum computer, these programmers still felt quite accomplished.
This game was called "Mana". It was a game where mages battled each other. There were no factions in the game. Every player was an independent party. After entering the game map, they could choose to form an alliance with others or fight against everyone alone. It was up to the player to decide how to play.
Here, players could use different combinations of elements to release dozens of built-in spells. Using these combinations of spells to fight was a test of a player's reaction speed and strategic mind.
The process of combining these elements was more or less the same as when casting spells. However, considering the entertainment effect, the difficulty was reduced. At the same time, all the built-in spells had been implanted with Twain's feelings when he personally cast the spells. This meant that when every player used those spells, they would personally experience how Twain felt when he cast the spells.
Although it might not have any effect once or twice, if they experienced it often, they would realize how much the experience in the game helped them when they awakened their spellcasting talent and started to learn magic.
That was definitely the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
At the same time, when playing this game, players could directly enter the game world to play through their mental power, so it could greatly improve their ability to sense magic. After playing the game for a long time, their affinity with magic would also be greatly improved, which was very beneficial for their awakening talent. Under Tang En's design, these benefits were all linked. As long as they really had potential, they would never waste it.
When the competitive game named "Magic Ability", which was developed by Tang En, was pushed to every connected artificial soul quantum computer through the Magic Network, people were almost instantly attracted to this brand-new application. They did not know what an online game meant, but at least they knew that it was a new application.
Artificial soul quantum computers were extremely popular now. Any new application would attract countless users to click and use it. Thus, the first batch of online game users in Prandal was born!
…
Jon was an ordinary worker living in Nanilla. His usual job was to organize the warehouse of the Philosopher's Stone Chamber of Commerce, record the entry and exit records, and so on. When the chamber of commerce bought the artificial soul quantum computer, he was one of the first people to come into contact with it.
Due to his work, he could be said to be the first person to master the use of computers in Prandal. It was precisely because of this that he deeply fell in love with the powerful artificial soul quantum computer.
He discovered the "Mana" pushed by the server this morning, but he was busy at that time, so he did not open the program until now when he was done with his work.
He had just executed the "Mana" program, and then suddenly felt a strange wave coming from the computer. The screen in front of him seemed to have turned into a wave of water, and then his consciousness was in a trance. His vision blurred, and he found himself in another place.
"Dear Gods! Where am I?! "
The warehouse of the chamber of commerce disappeared and was replaced by a huge and empty square. There were many pillars in the square with mysterious symbols engraved on them, and there was a huge picture floating in the sky next to it. It was a fierce battle between mages …
While Jon was staring at the picture in a daze, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded in his ears. "Welcome to the world of Mana, Mr. Jon of the Philosopher's Stone Chamber of Commerce from Nanilla."
Jon was stunned and exclaimed, "Who's talking?!"
"I'm the System Elf of Mana. You can call me System."
A ball of light appeared in front of Jon, and after shaking it, it said, "I'm responsible for guiding newbies on how to join the interesting world of Mana."
"Mana … Yes! I just opened the program of Mana! "
Jon suddenly remembered what happened before. "And then I suddenly appeared here — what's going on!?"
Jon began to panic. He could not disappear for too long. If something happened in the warehouse, he was afraid he would lose his life.
"Please don't panic, Mr. Jon. Look here."
The System pointed in front of him, and two times appeared in front of him, one above and one below. "The one above is the time in the real world, and the one below is the time in the game. After testing, the limit of your mental power is 1: 5. In other words, if you spend five hours here, only one hour has passed in the outside world. Your body is still in the same place and is being monitored by the health detection system of the game system, so you don't have to be nervous."
Jon sighed in relief and was finally in the mood to listen to the System's explanation.
After listening to the explanation, Jon found out that this was a game developed to let ordinary people experience the battle between mages. His interest was immediately piqued, and he excitedly followed the System's guidance to create his own character. He named it "Cyrus is an idiot" and did not hesitate to set the appearance of the character to look like himself.
With the help of the System Elf, after a simple man-machine battle test, Jon could not wait to start the match.
In the blink of an eye, he suddenly appeared in a huge ring-shaped arena. There were nine other people who appeared with him. They were scattered around in a circle. Each of them was wearing a beginner's robe and held a simple basic staff in their hands. Each of them stared at each other with eyes full of surprise.
"You're all humans? Not puppets? "
"Nonsense! Of course we're humans! "
"Where are you from? I'm from Caspar Midburg. "
"I'm from Shengge City."
"I'm from Nanilla —"
"Eh?" Jon was very surprised. "I'm from Nanilla too! We can team up! "
The person from Nanilla was stunned when he turned around and saw Jon. When he saw his name, he immediately roared, "Jon! I think you want to pack up and leave! "
Jon took a closer look at the person and was shocked. "Boss Cyrus!?"
"I hired you to do work! I'm not asking you to play games during work hours! "
"No, I'm not, I'm not …"
Chown felt bitter. There were so many users of the Mana game, and he actually met the boss on his first match!
His luck was unbelievable!
While Jon and Cyrus were arguing, a player in the distance saw that they had attracted the attention of others. He immediately raised his staff and began to assemble the basic elements without hesitation. Then, he began to chant.
"… Blazing fire elemental, accompanied by the breath of wind, attached to the heavy earth elemental, descend upon this world in the form of a surging river …"
"Damn it!"
Someone at the side immediately noticed his movements. "It's the lava lake! This guy is using the opportunity to cast a powerful spell! Kill him quickly! "
As soon as this person's voice fell, six or seven fireballs came whistling from the side, directly killing the guy who was chanting the incantation.
Chown stared blankly at the wand in his hand. He thought it was an illusion when he was in the tutorial mode, but now that he was fighting with someone, the feeling was even stronger. A strange power was being controlled by him as if it was his own arm.
Especially when he released the spell just now, the feeling of the accumulated power in his body suddenly opening the floodgates, controlling the surrounding elemental energy to condense into a fireball, and then pouring it out, really fascinated him.
"Idiot! Didn't you read the beginner's instructions? Chanting spells in the middle of a battle between mages is suicide! "
Cyrus sneered and glared at Jon. "Now, help me deal with these guys! We'll talk about your business later! "
Jon, who was in a daze, shuddered. "Yes, sir! Boss! "
Jon firmly remembered the warning that the system elf had given him. There was only one trick to winning in this game.
Deal with the opponent first, then deal with the teammate!
