Journey to the West is a familiar story to everyone in the team, no, to everyone. Even Zhaka, who grew up in Southeast Asia, is no stranger to this story.
Regarding the countless works of art derived from these four masterpieces, if we were to spread them out, it would probably take three days and three nights without the same one.
This includes movies, music, animation, books, operas, etc.
Not to mention games, there are all kinds of games on various game consoles and platforms, ranging from 1,000 to 800. This is still a conservative estimate.
However, it is such an adapted IP that has endured for a long time and is even more popular than the Three Kingdoms games, but it has more magical and special characteristics than the Three Kingdoms.
Qi Zhen knows of at least three games with the same name as the IP "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", just like the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that the team played before. Although the name is borrowed from the official history, the content is still The content of the romance story.
The strange thing is that I wonder if the three words "Journey to the West" are so popular that it has countless derivative works, but only a few of them can be named after these three words.
In the field of movies and TV series, there are only a few remaining film and television works that can be called Journey to the West. The remaining "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and "Westward Journey" are actually not considered Journey to the West in a strict sense. story, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is just a cover of Journey to the West.
The same goes for games.
Fantasy Westward Journey, Westward Journey, Journey to the West, Mythical Black Wukong...
Behind countless adaptations, they all point to this famous book that can be called a sacred book - "Journey to the West", but no one dares to call it this name.
Therefore, the name "Journey to the West" could only mean another layer of meaning if the system hadn't really gone crazy and given the team the challenging difficulty of a pixel-style side-scrolling game.
This is the kind of development that Qi Zhen absolutely does not want to happen.
The game this team is about to start conquering is probably a hodgepodge that incorporates elements from almost all Westward Journey or Westward Journey-like games on the market!
Qi Zhen has even imagined a terrifying scene in which gods, Buddhas and monsters fly together, and the three realms are mixed together.
So the question becomes, what is the mission of the team? Is it possible to unify the three realms?
Or should I go with that pig, that monkey, that yaksha and that horse to escort that handsome monk with tender skin and tender flesh to the Western Heaven to obtain Buddhist scriptures?
If this is the case, should we say this game is too easy or too difficult?
Thinking about it, in the game of Fairy Sword, Qi Zhen seemed to have experienced a journey similar to Journey to the West with his former teammates. The bizarre and bizarre journey was still fresh in his memory even now.
Although his current strength is different from that of that time, who can say that this real journey to the West will not be more difficult than that time?
No, it should be a certainty that it will be more difficult.
Qi Zhen sadly told her teammates about her guess, but it didn't make anyone nervous or angry about the system.
If you can't resist, just accept it. This is probably the good quality of everyone in the team.
Sun Jie was already looking forward to seeing the touching love story between the Supreme Treasure and Fairy Zixia, while Liang Sicheng was curious about what kind of material the Great Sage's golden cudgel was made of? Lao Wangtou's brain circuit is still in line with his old and crooked character. After all, there are a lot of good-looking female fairies in the game. Zhang Chi is thinking about the elixirs in Journey to the West, and is talking about going to see what the Dragon King of the East China Sea's saliva is. Isn’t it really such a powerful therapeutic effect?
Even Lin Biao, who is usually the most low-key, yearns for the Great Thunder Sound Temple in the West and proposes to go there for a walk no matter what.
As everyone discussed and discussed, the gloomy feeling that enveloped their hearts gradually disappeared. Qi Zhen, who said the last thing, was also looking forward to what weird things would happen in that world, and what kind of world-famous gods and monsters they would encounter. .
In short, the discussion of the game content itself in this internal meeting slowly came to an end, and the next topic turned to the aspect that Qi Zhen least wanted to see - spending money.
"The Sword Comes"
When Qi Zhen came out of the preparation hall, her steps were a little shaky and she felt like her body had been hollowed out.
Everyone left with satisfaction. They had already expected Qi Zhen's stinginess, but they still managed to get a large piece of wool from Qi Zhen through their own efforts.
And the reason was found by Qi Zhen for them.
It’s such a difficult game, why don’t you prepare yourself well? If you encounter an unsolvable difficulty in the game, it's too late to catch you blind now.
The poor money fans could only be ruthlessly exploited by these teammates who were waiting for food. In the end, they had to fight hard to save enough funds to water the wisdom tree.
"You have to grow to your height quickly and don't let down my love for you!"
Qi Zhen muttered about pouring water into the roots of the wisdom tree, and said it with sincerity, quite a bit hopeful that her son would become a dragon.
The leaves rustled, seemingly in response to Qi Zhen's words.
Although everyone in the team said they were relaxed, from this day on, they obviously put away their previous laziness and began to consciously prepare for the game.
Zhang Qi still locked himself in the preparation hall day and night. Liang Sicheng asked Qi Zhen to buy a workshop. The sound of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong was heard from inside day and night. Who knew that this kid was studying inside? What kind of new machine, Nuo Lan has become a missing person from being elusive in the past, no one knows where she went, while Lin Biao never leaves Leiyin Temple 24 hours a day, either meditating or beating wooden fish with his childishness. Nowadays, the atmosphere of Buddhism inside and outside Daleiyin Temple is getting stronger and stronger, and there is even a tendency to transform into reality. Others will feel peaceful whenever they get close to it, and they don't know how strong Lin Biao is now.
Wang Jianguo still drinks every day, but not much has changed. It's just that he has gone to see Sun Jie much more frequently in the past few days. Later, Qi Zhen learned from Sun Jie that the main purpose of Old Wang Tou this time was really not to look at his legs. Instead, he was learning from Sun Jie about his own Holy Light ability.
The word "learn from scriptures" is not accurate, because Sun Jie is also using Lao Wangtou's holy light power to study the divine power of chaos in himself, and the two are mutually referenced.
Zaka's side was even more terrifying. He threw himself into the mountains, and then there was no grass growing within a three-kilometer radius. This Poison King lived up to his name. Qi Zhen couldn't figure out whether he was practicing Kung Fu or cultivating poison. He knew that it was harmful to his body. It doesn't matter, Qi Zhen doesn't care about him.
The most leisurely one is Zhang Chi. Of course, this cannot be said. Zhang Chi’s main method of cultivation is to read books. There are all kinds of medical books from all over the world. If you want to cure diseases and save people, the most important thing is to understand people. The better you understand a person’s physiology. The structure and pathogenic mechanism are more beneficial to the growth of medical skills, not only medical science, but also pharmacology. For example, you need to use a key to open a door. The human body is the lock and the key is the medicine. The right key opens the right lock. Studying medicine There is no end, Zhang Chi’s growth is not just like others, both theory and practice are indispensable.
Qi Zhen focuses more on studying the game process. Although he does not know the specific content of the next game, he is trying to exhaust all plot modes of Journey to the West games to try to be prepared.
However, it sounds easy to say but it is extremely difficult to actually do it. If nothing else, there are as many spin-off games as Journey to the West, and the various adaptations are even more chaotic. The most famous one is naturally the original one, and the context is clear and unified. Zhen also hopes that the game plot can unfold as she imagined, but it is obviously unlikely.
After reliving the love story between Zhizunbao and Zixia Fairy Bai Jingjing, Qi Zhen rubbed her brows tiredly and said to herself that it was fortunate that Monk Sha didn't have too many emotional dramas, otherwise he would have to study this. The year of the monkey and the month of the horse are gone.
"It has a solitary face, two yellow eyes, one is smacking its forehead, and its fangs are growing out. It's like a crab, with the flesh on the inside and the bones on the outside."
If the legendary Monkey King really looks like this in the game, it would be too ruinous.
Comparing the original work and the derivative works with each other, Qi Zhen felt more and more that these later generations of artistic authors were too unscrupulous and had already changed the original work into something terrible. Even the 1986 version of Journey to the West, which is regarded as a classic, was the same. .
"Master, you don't know! When Old Sun was a demon in the Water Curtain Cave, if he wanted to eat human flesh, he would do this. He might turn into gold and silver, or turn into a manor, or turn into a drunken person, or turn into a woman. There are such infatuated people. , if he falls in love with me, I will lure him into the cave, where he can do as he pleases, steam or boil and enjoy..."
Sun Wukong eats people, Zhu Bajie also eats people, Monk Sha has nine skulls hanging around his neck, each of them is Tang Monk's previous life, because our imperial brother Tang Xuanzang is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, a Buddhist scripture seeker who came from the tenth life. .
Qi Zhen had heard these stories before, and it was only when she immersed herself in the book that she realized that damn monsters are monsters, and it doesn't matter whether you are a monkey or the reincarnation of Marshal Tianpeng, they all have the same virtue.
But if the character is really like this, what should the game be like?
"Great Sage, Great Sage, don't make things difficult for me." Qi Zhen looked at the handsome monkey on the light screen, feeling extremely sad.
Qi Zhen turned off the light screen, closed her eyes and rested her mind.
After spending two days immersed in old papers, I cannot say that the research is thorough, I can only say that there is no progress.
This cannot continue, we must think about this issue in a different way.
Or just don’t think about it anymore, just take it one step at a time and see if it’s overthrown!
In the end, Qi Zhen still couldn't really open up. Instead, she reopened the light screen and quietly read the knowledge in it.
Ten days is not a short time, but for everyone in the team, it flies by in a blink of an eye. The day finally comes when the team is about to set off.
Everyone gathered together.
