I Forged the Myth of the Ancient Overlords
Chapter 681 - 681 680. Only Chinese dubbing_1

Chapter 681: 680. Only Chinese dubbing_1 Chapter 681: 680. Only Chinese dubbing_1 Zheng Li looked at the reply and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He always thought the big shots in “Got it?” knew everything and were very capable, but when it came to the crunch, they just couldn’t get rid of their old habits of trying to be clever.

However, Zheng Li quickly acquired some useful information.

For example, someone suggested that he had a revolver and could use it to shoot the door lock open to break in, while another said he could go get a spare key. This reminded Zheng Li that he now knew the plot in advance and could get the keys to everyone’s rooms from the old butler beforehand.

Moreover, Zheng Li felt that he could gather everyone together, since the thing that was killing seemed to be able to target only one person at a time. As long as everyone stayed together, they would certainly be able to safely get through the first night.

He finished the bread he bought in the morning with some cola while still searching for clues about the “Night of Summoning Spirits”.

Zheng Li was initially concerned about spoilers, such as someone almost reaching the end through relentless play, but a quick online search revealed that the vast majority of players didn’t make it through the first night.

Just like Zheng Li, either they died in their sleep without checking the Detective Notes, or they died after Lily was killed. Very few saw the sunrise of the second day.

Compared to them, Zheng Li was making fast progress, feeling that the next time he entered the game, he should be able to save Lily while avoiding his own death, safely making it to the next day.

At this point, Zheng Li doubted whether anybody could reach the final ending of the game within a week, or even witness the Soul Summoning Night.

As it turned out, his guess was too conservative.

One week after its release, no one could clear the game within “Morning Star”.

The player with the fastest progress made it to the sixth day, but was ambushed by Bronning’s mad son while he was off guard, blowing his brains out. After dozens of attempts to overcome the challenge and ultimately failing, he declared that this save file was ruined.

In a game where the storyline progresses through choices, if a save point leads to no possible route to the ending, it means the critical divergence occurred before that save, rendering the existing save file useless.

And “Night of Summoning Spirits” only supports one-directional saving. Unless you start over, a new save will always overwrite the previous one—if you make a wrong choice and accidentally save, it’s very common to ruin your progress.

All gaming forums were discussing “Night of Summoning Spirits”, with players almost forcibly recalling the contents of the Detective Notebook and mapping out the layout of Storm Villa from memory because no screenshots or recordings could be made.

Players discussed and tried continuously, yet they still couldn’t find the answer.

Meanwhile, the public opinion regarding “Morning Star” finally exploded online.

Almost every major gaming media at home and abroad gave this gaming device full marks.

Except one media outlet, which gave it a 99 for only supporting Chinese, but it wasn’t a big deal.

“This is a groundbreaking multimedia device, no, it may have already surpassed the scope of multimedia devices. What ‘Morning Star’ brings us is an experience ahead of its time. A machine that once only appeared in science fiction novels is now actually in our hands. This is like a dream come true. Just with two applications, one game, this device has shown us the possibilities of the future!!!”

“I never imagined that humans could achieve such feats. ‘Morning Star’ will undoubtedly go down in history, like Watt’s improvements to the steam engine or the Wright brothers inventing the airplane. This is an industrial innovation. As a gaming device, ‘Morning Star’ truly lives up to its name, showing us the prospective future of gaming as an entertainment medium. Furthermore, I’m more eager to see the applications of this device in other areas. Believe me, when the first primitive man lifted a piece of wood ignited by lightning, he had no idea that what he was lighting would be an entire civilization.”

“When Director Lu Ban revolutionized the film industry with special effects, no one could have imagined that what he was bringing to the gaming industry was a genesis far beyond a revolution. ‘Morning Star’ is a device that creates a new era, leading us into a brand-new entertainment age. My only worry now is whether such a device is too advanced for the people of today?”

“History will remember this day. Years from now, when our generation has aged, and young people sit around us asking about memorable things from our youth, we will tell those young ones that on January 1 of this year, ‘Morning Star’ was released, and the era since has become what you see now.”

All media were lavishing praise on this device, using every superlative in human history and still feeling it wasn’t enough. If someone hadn’t experienced “Morning Star” for themselves, they might even think it was sarcasm.

Similarly, the news about “Morning Star” gradually reached ordinary players abroad.

To foreigners, Lu Ban was an excellent director, but they had no idea about his gaming console.

Not to mention that the console wasn’t even released overseas, with only a domestic version available.

At the time of its release, big foreign streamers even had to rely on friends in China to snap it up and then physically bring it overseas to play.

It used to be that we’d bring back gray-market goods from abroad, but now it turned out we’re smuggling gray-market goods out of China.

What’s more ridiculous is that Lu Ban’s “Night of Summoning Spirits” only had Chinese voice acting!

These foreign players got the game, excitedly tried the two applications, and then enthusiastically started the game, only to hear incomprehensible Chinese and were instantly dumbfounded.

For a time, foreign players were forced to start learning Chinese.

It almost felt like déjà vu from the days when people had to learn Japanese just to play Final Fantasy.

But as one of the hardest languages to learn in the world, Chinese wasn’t something you could master overnight.

At this point, many big streamers thought to hire translators who knew Chinese. They rushed into the Chinese internet, scouring various gaming forums, translating the information compiled by Chinese players into English, and reposting it to foreign websites.

Other players went straight to machine translation software to complain on Chinese social platforms like Weibo, demanding that Lu Ban quickly release “Morning Star” overseas and make an English version available.

Even further, some international hacker organizations took advantage of this trend and made announcements on their forums.

They declared that they would crack “Morning Star” and decode all the content inside “The Conjuring”!
