To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 120: Chapter 103 Botanic Garden (Second

Update)_2

After pondering for a moment, Fang Cheng felt he really couldn’t make much out of anything by himself, and it might be better to have someone else lead the way.

So, he nodded, an action that made Xu Qingling smile even more joyfully. Ignoring the calories in the hot drink, she gulped down her beverage, and then asked. Boss, what do you like to do in your free time?”

“Meditating, planting grass.”

“Got it, let’s go to the botanic garden then, there are lots of plants there, and Fang Cheng, you should find something of interest.”

Although skeptical, Fang Cheng still followed Xu Qingling toward the botanic garden.

As a large area within Rong Cheng Happy Valley, the botanic garden was divided into over a dozen smaller exhibition halls, each adjusted to the climate needs of the different plants grown there.

Just entering the garden, Fang Cheng began to nod in approval.

This place… not bad at all!

Plants from all over the world could be found here, some of which were rarely seen outside, but the person in charge here managed to get them and plant them in the garden.

Walking along the designated paths, Fang Cheng found new crops every so often that, when crossbred with Spirit Grass, would certainly bring about new and interesting things.

At his side, Xu Qingling quietly observed Fang Cheng’s reactions, and upon seeing his expression relax, she couldn’t help but reveal a happy smile.

“The botanic garden in Rong Cheng Happy Valley was jointly constructed with the Rong City Botanic Garden, which is even bigger and homes more rare and precious plants. Shall I accompany you there next time?”

Fang Cheng, looking at the environment around him, couldn’t help but sav “Sure.”

Then it’s settled, come on, let’s go to the next scene. Since you like meditating, Fang Cheng, we can try going to Cloud China to have a look. There are quite a few spots with nice scenery there, great for meditation and probably a lot of fun.”

Under Xu Qingling’s guidance, Fang Cheng finally found a great deal of enjoyment.

Xu Qingling was as familiar with the amusement park as the back of her hand, knowing every place inside out.

With her lead, Tian Xuan, who already liked the place, had a blast, enjoying every single attraction immensely.

Although Fang Cheng felt it was just okay, the introduction to the various plants alone made him feel the trip was worthwhile.

Not until the park closed in the afternoon did the three of them reluctantly leave the amusement park.

After agreeing to come together again next time, Xu Qingling got into the car that had come to take her home, preparing to leave with a lingering reluctance. In the front passenger seat, a female housekeeper asked with concern, “Miss, how was your day out?”

“Very happy.”

“And the amusement park matter…?”

“It can officially open for business, the effect is quite good, our boss also thinks it s fun. Remember to step up security measures when it opens, that’s most important. Also…”

“What else?”

“How about we buy the land next door and open a botanic garden?”

“Miss…”

“Just kidding.”

“No, I was going to ask if sixty hectares would be enough?”

“Just kidding!”

Yawning, Xu Qingling felt a bit tired.

She laid down in the back seat, curling up her slender legs, and quickly fell asleep on the pillow.

In her dream, she saw herself becoming a princess in a castle, a prince on a white horse charging into the castle, then getting enchanted by the plants in the garden. Taking a gardener and some seeds, she ran off with that particularly sexy cactus.

What a weird dream!

Meanwhile, Fang Cheng and Tian Xuan returned home, had dinner, and each embarked on their own contemplation into the Heavenly Tao.

The Heavenly Tao considered how to create a place where players could all be happy.

And Fang Cheng thought about how to transform his experiences of the day into a game, to also make it fun for everyone else.

He closed his eyes and quickly reminisced about his feelings throughout the day, then sighed that amusement parks were indeed quite fun.

Different areas had their own unique features, allowing players to find interesting things in the amusement park and start having fun. Everyone could find something suitable to enjoy and have a great time with it.

So, should he create an amusement park?

But making an amusement park alone seemed troublesome; he had only spent one day in an amusement park and was not very familiar with the other facilities inside.

However, he really liked the botanic garden, and it was not difficult to create; all you needed to do was plant the vegetation and let it grow freely.

Wandering around the botanic garden and admiring those marvelous plants would likely refine the players’ sentiments, allowing them to experience the tranquility of the Heavenly Tao.

And if it was a botanic garden, it would need someone to tend to it—a being that ideally would never tire and could find joy in this work. Luckily, he knew just the one.

The sprite from “Towards Death and Life,” Alpha.

Once he figured it out, Fang Cheng took Tian Xuan by the hand, and in the next second, they appeared in the skies above the planet of “Towards Death and Life.”

The place was still enveloped by the Star-devouring Beast.

The colossal creature had merged into the world’s interior, having become a part of the world, unable to leave before it devoured the planet.

Yet Fang Cheng restricted its movements, preventing it from continuing its consumption, which perfectly trapped it, unable to leave.

Looking down at this place, Fang Cheng recalled his initial frustration.

Originally, he had wanted to create a horror game, but due to an unexpected turn of events, it ended up being a platformer, which was quite annoying.

But this time, he felt that he could set up a botanic garden here, allowing players to understand the joy within after visiting.

Afterward, he could slowly expand the amusement park until he constructed the ideal park he had in mind, making it extremely fun to visit.

Most of the patterns in “Towards Death and Life” had already been explored by the players, and the game’s online population had declined, so it was enough to plan a small area for players to continue climbing.

The rest of the area could be used to plan out the amusement park, making a gigantic amusement park a possibility.

Staring down below, Fang Cheng silently contemplated the arrangement of the site. Then, clapping his hands, he grabbed a visitor terminal from the ground and brought it into space, where it landed in his hands.

After fiddling with the terminal, Fang Cheng reconnected the broken circuits and saw the terminal being activated.

A holographic image appeared, and a clear sprite, Alpha, walked out of it,

bowing respectfully to Fang Cheng:

“It is a pleasure to see you, unnamed climber. Allow me to introduce myself again: I am your climbing assistant tool. You may call me Alpha.”

“Switch mode, activate debug mode.”

Access denied, user does not have the necessary permissions… Adjusting

permissions… Permissions adjusted… Welcome back, debugger.”

Having obtained the highest authority through the terminal, Fang Cheng browsed its effects and discovered that it was more than just a simple assistant tool; it also had various other functions.

It was a multipurpose guiding Al; besides climbing assistance, it also offered city tours, attraction introductions, zoo knowledge, and the botanic garden knowledge Fang Cheng most desired.

Pleased, Fang Cheng nodded and asked, “Was there ever a botanic garden here?”

Yes, there was. But in the previous chemical warfare, plants and animals were among the first species to be contaminated, and that place is no longer suitable for visitors. If you insist on going, I will call you a taxi. There are currently zero operational drivers, with zero passengers waiting. It is anticipated that it would take an infinite amount of time for you to get there.”

“Never mind, I’ll go myself.”

“You have chosen to go by yourself. The nearest botanic garden is approximately three hundred kilometers away, with an estimated travel time of three days and sixteen hours. A route for you has been planned.”

Before Alpha could finish speaking, Fang Cheng had already arrived at his destination.

After a pause, Alpha continued, “Transport method error has been corrected to spacecraft. Thank you for using our service, goodbye.”

Letting Alpha float by his side, Fang Cheng walked into the botanic garden and found it had almost been completely abandoned.

Everywhere were wilted plants, and the greenhouses meant to preserve the vegetation were shattered, causing the once-valuable plants inside to be utterly dead.

Moreover, due to the use of bioweapons in the past war, the plants here had also mutated.

Some plants even fused with animal characteristics. They had developed skeletons and teeth inside their bodies, with some teeth even stained with dark red, indicating that these plants even preyed on animals.

Watching the scene before him, Fang Cheng was quite excited.

The thought of a botanic garden filled with exotic characteristics being revived by his hands brought great delight.
