Game production: I really have landed

The mountains and forests are deserted, and only strange monsters can be seen wandering here.

Although he didn't know where this place was, there was no way to go home, so Crono seemed to have no choice but to head down the mountain.

"It turns out to be a battle at Ming Lei."

When controlling the protagonist Crono to bump into the monsters wandering ahead, the battle was naturally triggered, and Erxiao sighed.

There is a yellow bar under Crono's body that is constantly accumulating, and the three fat little monsters with blue horns in front of him are also shaking from side to side.

As the yellow bar fills up, attacks, skills, props, escape and other related operations will appear.

The three monsters in front of him also rushed up and aimed at Crono, punching and kicking him.

The damage is not too high.

And as Erxiao chose to attack, aiming at one of the three monsters at random, Crono stepped forward and stabbed him neatly.

As a damage wave floated above the head, a monster turned into a point of light and dissipated in the wind.

"It's still a real-time battle mode..."

"What is Ming Lei Battle? Erxiao?"

In the live broadcast room, some friends who didn’t understand typed and asked.

Erxiao was stunned for a moment, and while controlling the protagonist to chop melons and vegetables, he replied:

"The so-called Ming Lei combat refers to a design where monsters can be seen on the map and can be actively triggered or avoided.

In contrast, there are hidden mines. Monsters are completely invisible on the map. Players encounter monsters on the map completely randomly. It is a kind of battle that cannot be avoided actively. "

RPG games have developed to this day, and there are countless excellent works. Erxiao can naturally distinguish the purpose of Ming Lei's battle. She added:
  “Such a design can only show that the game Key to Time and Space does not emphasize the act of leveling up.

In other words, this game is not a purely numerical RPG game, but a game that requires strategy to solve key problems.

The current real-time battle mode also proves my view. "

Victory in battle, experience points, money, skill points.

The protagonist Crono learns a skill called "Whirlwind".

The game also gives guidance here.

The skills in this game have a fixed range.

Some are round and some are straight.

Because of the real-time combat mode, the positions of monsters in this game are not static.

Therefore, how to use the right skills at the right time to cause more damage is also a strategy.

For example, in Whirlwind, the protagonist Crono rotates around a certain monster and performs a circular attack.

When monsters gather together, you will make more money by using this skill, but you will lose money when dealing with isolated monsters.

In the same way, linear skills are better at dealing with two units where two monsters stand in a line but are far apart.

This system is not complicated, but it does improve the gameplay to a certain extent.

The original intention is quite good in guiding novices.

In this novice village, the action patterns of monsters are basically gathered together, which can be regarded as a good space for Whirlwind to operate.

Let players better understand the significance of this real-time combat system.

Seeing that he had also passed the test, he went all the way down the mountain and went straight to the big map.

The BGM in my ears suddenly changed.

The soothing piano sound is like a trickle in the game.

The longing of the wind.

"This song is nice."

The players in the live broadcast room also praised it for a while.

However, this big map in front of me...

It does look exactly like the location of Peace Town.

But the area that was supposed to be Rene Square has now become the mountain that Crono crossed over.

And Heping Town also lacks that eye-catching harbor.

The whole world is surrounded by a foggy filter, and it looks far less festive than the Kingdom's Millennium Celebration.

Erxiao controlled the protagonist Crono into the village and began to collect information.

But the first NPC he asked surprised Crono.

"Millennium celebration? Thousand years of founding of the country? What are you talking about in your sleep in broad daylight?
  It is now the 600th anniversary of the founding of the country, and Galdia 21 is the king of this country. "

There was no surprise on Er Xiao's face, but she still assumed the responsibility of an anchor:

"It seems that our protagonist Crono traveled through time and space to 400 years ago under the combined effect of the pendant and the teleportation platform.

It really fits the title of ‘Overtime’. The key should be Mal’s necklace.

We can see that the Heping Town four hundred years ago was not as prosperous as it was in the Kingdom's history in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. "

The protagonist Crono wanders around in this peaceful town 400 years ago.

Different from the soothing atmosphere during the millennium celebrations, pedestrians were coming and going in a hurry, and soldiers in armor could be seen everywhere on the street.

According to the conversation with the NPC, the Kingdom of Galdia during this period was still in a constant war with the demons.

When they came to the hotel to inquire about news, the clues about a drinking soldier made everyone interested.

"Oh! I'm so happy! Princess Rene, who has been missing for a long time, was actually found in the back mountain!
  Now that we are back in the castle, we should feel at ease. "

"It's okay that Mal was mistaken."

"Mal should be in the castle now."

"Then the question is, where is the real Princess Renee?"

Everyone also started guessing.

Although the protagonist Crono still doesn't know Mal's identity, everyone has already identified from the clues in this game that Mal is the daughter of Galdia 33, the princess.

From the clues in the back mountain, it can be inferred without a doubt that Marr must be very similar to her ancestor Princess Reine, so much so that they were mistakenly identified by the searching soldiers.

"Okay, let's go to the royal city now to see if Mal is there."

Erxiao said.

"After blind guessing, I went to the royal city and found that Mal was captured by the demons again."

"In the current context of the war between humans and demons, it is very normal for this kind of thing to happen."

"Er Xiao quickly pushes forward the plot. I want to see if my idea is right."

Everyone is actually quite excited.

The direction of the plot in front of them is exactly the same as what they had in mind.

Everyone is rushing to promote the plot not to promote the plot, but to see where there will be a twist.

Just when Erxiao was about to control Crono and leave here, the door of the hotel was pushed open, and a bold man with a green turban and brown hair walked in.

This man's style was obviously incompatible with the other people in the hotel, and he instantly attracted the players' attention.

This is an important NPC.

Thomas: "Are you also a foreigner? I am the explorer Thomas. If you buy me a drink, I will reveal some information to you."

Naturally, Erxiao would not be stingy with this little money.

As the large glass of beer was placed heavily on the bar in front of Thomas, Thomas directly picked up the glass and drank heavily, with a cheerful expression on his face.

After burping, he seemed to realize that Crono was still there, thinking of the agreement just now, and said:

"Regarding the disappearance of Princess Renee, I think the monastery built in the west is very suspicious.

What? Princess Linei had been discovered in the back mountain a long time ago? Oh, that's how it is……"

A trace of visible doubt flashed across Toma's face, but he still didn't say anything more.

But this information was obviously captured by the players. "It seems that Princess Line was kidnapped by the demons and taken to the monastery next door."

"Then the plot should be like this. After meeting Mal in the royal city, in order to cheer up the king who was bored.

Our protagonist group should still go to the monastery. "

"The monastery harbors filth and evil, which is also a classic plot."

However, Erxiao was not in a hurry and went directly to the royal city.

He also controlled Crono to search the entire Peace Town four hundred years ago.

Trigger conversations with all NPCs.

Among them, whether it is the second floor of the hotel in Heping Town 400 years ago or in Heping Town a thousand years ago, there is an identical box called the "Treasure Box passed down from generation to generation".

This discovery naturally triggered everyone's speculation.

"These two boxes should be the same thing. I suddenly had a guess whether there will be such a plot later.

Crono, Mal, and Luca are trapped in different time and space respectively, and this box is the only channel for communication between the two parties.

You need to put something in the box and pick it up four hundred years later to help Crono return to the previous time and space. "

"Some explanation. I feel like this box is an important plot prop. Okay, okay."

In addition, in the home of a blacksmith named Banta in the village, Crono discovered Rene's Bell that had not been completely completed.

"I am the blacksmith Banta. I was commissioned by the King of Galdia to make 'Rene's Bell' as a proof of the king's love for Lady Rene.

Fortunately, Princess Reine was found behind, otherwise I wouldn’t know what to do. "

Banta, Taban, everyone couldn't help but smile knowingly when they saw these two people with similar facial features.

I want to drag Luca over to recognize my ancestors.

"No wonder Taban can be the master of a small area in the kingdom. He turned out to be the royal blacksmith of the era."

"Banta's dream is to have a lovely daughter. It seems that Taban helped his ancestors realize it. The daughter slave actually inherited it."

“It’s really interesting to look at the past four hundred years from this perspective. All the small details can be compared with four hundred years later.

History keeps going on, and it feels really great that there is no interruption. "

After exploring Peace Town, we are finally heading to the Royal City of Galdia.

The forest outside the royal city is also home to some monsters, but so far the combat system is not too difficult.

“The way the monsters like the Key to Time and Space appear is really conscientious.

For example, this rolling ball monster jumped out after a while of scurrying in the grass, with this green-skinned little monster standing on its head.

Each monster appears in a different way, which is much more interesting than the appearance of Dark Thunder Encountering Monsters. "

Although this game does not force players to fight and level up, Erxiao still took the habit developed by the black soul and licked the entire forest like a carpet.

Something called the Power Capsule, which did not live up to expectations, was put into the bag.

After being eaten by Crono, his attack power increased a little.

After arriving at the royal city.

The soldiers guarding the gate directly persuaded Crono to return.

At this tense moment, Mal, wearing a green dress, walked down the steps.

"stop!"

Soldier: "Rei, Her Royal Highness Princess Rene!"

Erxiao smiled knowingly.

The original intention is well captured in the small details here.

For example, Crono looked at the familiar face in front of him with visible doubts on his face.

After the soldiers bowed their heads and knelt down, "Princess Renee" on the stage blinked twice hard at Crono, who looked up at her blankly.

Then he cleared his throat:
  "This friend once took care of me. Please treat me as a guest."

The soldier questioned: "But... such a suspicious person."

Mal looked around, and after making sure there were no outsiders here, he asked angrily:
  "You dare to disobey my orders?"

Soldier: "How dare you, please come in!"

Everyone was also very happy with this performance.

"Sure enough, there are people up there who are easy to do, hahaha."

"It's just Mal."

"How should I go back after meeting Mal?"

Here, Mal did not choose to walk directly with Crono, but hurriedly entered the depths of the royal city.

Erxiao naturally also started searching on his own...inquiring about information.

After talking to the NPC in the castle, everyone made new discoveries.

Ever since a warrior named Silas disappeared, the battle between the Kingdom of Galdia and the demons began to lose ground.

Now they are forced by the demon army to the Zenan Bridge that connects the northern and southern continents.

Among them, bridges were even destroyed.

The war on the front line is now tense, and the king is not thinking about food or food because of the disappearance of Princess Renee.

Fortunately, Marr came to fight, otherwise the defense line would have been completely defeated.

The king was still a little curious about Princess Renee's changes. Not only did the coral hair ornament she often wore disappear, but the cursed frog guard who had always been by his side also disappeared.

In addition, outside the king's room, the minister was spotted peeping here.

And from the conversation between the guard and the maid, it can be known that the minister has become suspicious since he came back from outside.

And he often went to the monastery in the west of the kingdom to pray.

All the above clues come together.

"There's a mole! Stop trading!"

"Can't you just kill the minister here? This guy doesn't look like a good person."

"It seems like it can't be cut. It has to trigger the plot."

Until Crono came to the princess's room, Rene retreated and finally revealed her true nature:
  "You're finally here! Crono!

Yes, it's me. I don't know why everyone calls me Li Nei.

But I'm very happy. You came to see me even though I was just having fun at the festival for a while. "

The peaceful smile on Maer's face made Erxiao smile like an aunt.

Crono is worth it.

Available in the next second.

The Mal in front of her seemed to be in great pain.

"What's going on? It feels like my heart is about to split.

I'm so scared, as if I'm going to disappear...

Help, Crono! "

In just an instant, Mal in front of him was like a point of light, scattering in the air without a trace.

"no!"

Er Xiao slapped her palm hard on the table.
  "I was so happy just now! Chuxin, are you trying to play this trick with me? Where is the person!"

"No, what about me, Mal? Where's Mal, who is as big as me?"

"@罗白, old thief, let your room manager do the talking!" (End of chapter)
