Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

"Then all other tasks can be triggered as side quests by talking to various NPCs in the game."

"But wouldn't that be too simple? Without enough main quests to guide players, they might get lost and confused," Aki Tomoya questioned.

"My biggest definition of this game is freedom and authenticity!"

"The meaning of freedom is to allow players to explore the world freely and do what they want without setting various mandatory tasks or time limits for completing them. You can even skip the main quests I set and go straight to the final boss."

"As for realism, it lies in the modeling of the game. I want all the actions in it to conform to the laws of natural development."

Suppressing his excitement, Aki Tomoya asked, "For example?"

There is no doubt that Kenichi Uesugi wants to play in the world he depicted, and he can't wait to play in it. If he could witness the birth of this epic, he would have no regrets even if he died.

"For example, when the wind blows, the grass will sway. You can use a weapon to cut the grass. After the grass is cleared, there may be some small insects underneath that you can pick up. Butterflies will occasionally fly by in the flower bushes. There are fruits growing on the trees. You can climb the trees to pick them up or cut down the trees. The cut-down trees can be pushed. If you damage them again, they will turn into firewood."

"What else? What else?!" Aki Tomoya had already stood up. Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri were also drawn into the world that Uesugi Kenichi had described.

Kenichi Uesugi was quite pleased with their reactions. After all, even he couldn't resist playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for a long time back then. It seems that excellent works will always be attractive no matter where they are placed.

"There are many more. In short, it's about following the natural course of development. Climbing in the rain is extremely difficult. If you're wearing iron equipment during a thunderstorm, you'll be struck by lightning. The higher the altitude, the colder it is, so you'll need to wear cotton-padded clothes or take medicine, and so on."

"We want to give players the utmost sincerity and surprises. Every time we discover something unique, we can't help but share it with others."

Everyone took a deep breath, especially Aki Tomoya. Looking at Uesugi Kenichi's preparations and comparing them to his own, it was no wonder that others had no confidence in him.

But he didn't care at the moment; he just wanted to know more about that world.

"If the modeling can be done to this level, it will indeed attract a large number of players to explore, but how can we ensure that their exploration is fresh? If it is only this level, a small number of people may be willing to keep exploring the unknown, but most people will just think it is amazing and then they will not be able to continue playing."

Aki Tomoya also voiced his doubts. His expectations for making this game were no less than those for Uesugi Kenichi, and he wanted to do his part to help him improve this world as much as possible.

Kenichi Uesugi nodded approvingly. As expected of a well-known game blogger, he asked very important questions that went straight to the heart of the matter.

"This brings us to another core topic: the temple system and the Chloro Fruit."

Eriri was completely convinced now, and stopped pretending to be tsundere, asking directly, "What does this mean?"

“All traditional RPG games have their own reward system, and this reward system is the driving force for players to challenge. Defeating monsters will give experience rewards, thus leveling up and becoming stronger. Hard work in challenging bosses will give you the chance to get rare equipment or materials.”

"The game I envisioned doesn't have levels; it only has players' health and stamina."

Health is easy to understand, so I won't go into detail. Stamina affects the duration of climbing, sprinting, and swimming. If stamina is insufficient, you will fall while climbing, and you will drown while swimming.

Eriri suddenly realized: "I understand, so the shrine and the Chloro Fruit can increase the player's health and stamina?"

Kenichi Uesugi snapped his fingers. "While not entirely accurate, it's close enough. Temples are like bosses in traditional games. Each time you discover a temple and pass the trials within, you'll receive a certificate. Four certificates can increase your maximum health or your maximum stamina."

"Krolo fruits are used to expand the number of slots in your backpack, and the temples and Krolo fruits are scattered throughout the map, and the methods for finding and unlocking them are not all the same."

Aki Tomoya exclaimed excitedly, "Amazing, absolutely amazing! This will definitely increase players' enthusiasm for map exploration. In order to unlock more temples and collect more fruits, they will inevitably explore every single map!"

“Some players with obsessive-compulsive tendencies will spend a lot of time finding all the fruits and temples.”

"That's right, that's exactly it. In fact, none of the weapons are permanent. Once their durability is exhausted, they will break and cannot be repaired. Then, an extremely difficult level is set up, rewarding them with a unique weapon with permanent durability, forcing them to constantly search and fight."

"This makes collecting the Chloro Fruit even more necessary. If we don't have enough weapons, we may face a situation where we have no weapons at all."

"Tsk, I'm starting to worry about those players." Kasumigaoka Utaha said, but a big smile was on her face.

"But I still want to emphasize one point, which is what I just mentioned. In addition to the four divine beasts in the main storyline and the forced battle when encountering the final BOSS, you can avoid and stay away from any other monsters you encounter."

"Of course, we'll discuss the specific quantities of the temple and the Krolo Fruit, as well as the content of the levels, later."

"What do you all think of my project?"

Uesugi Kenichi glanced at the drawing paper that was almost completely filled with his writing and asked the others.

“To be honest, I’m very surprised, and I’m honored to be able to participate in this project,” Eriri said frankly.

This game project was incredibly appealing to her, a long-time otaku!

"I will definitely write a script that will satisfy you." Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Uesugi Kenichi with undisguised admiration in her wine-red eyes.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started now! I can't wait to make this game." Aki Tomoya's eyes were filled with fervor, eager to get started immediately.

"Unfortunately, this game cannot be made at the moment."

"Eh?"

"why?"

Kenichi Uesugi looked at the three of them helplessly and said, "Do you think the four of us sitting here can do what I just mentioned?"

· ·Requesting flowers· ········

Aki Tomoya glanced at Eriri and then at Kasumigaoka Utaha, and said dejectedly, "Indeed, the two of them really can't do anything."

"boom!"

Without a doubt, Aki Tomoya soon lay down on the ground again.

After Uesugi Kenichi said that, the three of them realized that if they really did it according to Uesugi Kenichi's description, it would undoubtedly be a super big production. Even if they had a direction, the number of people needed would be considerable, and it would require a huge amount of money to make it.

"But don't be discouraged, everyone. I will continue to improve this game, and when the conditions are right, you will definitely see it appear."

Eriri let out a sob. It was such a shame that they couldn't make such a good game now. "So what should we do now?"

..... ..... .......

Uesugi Kenichi smiled and said, "Don't rush me, I should have an idea by now. It's too late today, I'll tell you next time."

He glanced at the sky and realized it was getting dark. He checked the time and it was almost 6:30.

"Let me treat you to dinner, as a way of celebrating the establishment of our humble studio."

"Let me treat you, since I'm the one who invited you here today," Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a smile. She was so annoyed, though. She had originally planned to have dinner alone with Uesugi Kenichi that night, but there were so many people here instead.

However, being able to join a studio with him and work together towards a common goal feels really great, and just thinking about it fills me with anticipation for the future.

"It's on me, that's settled then," Uesugi Kenichi said, leaving no room for argument.

"You're really tough~ Kenichi-kun, I like you a lot~" Kasumigaoka Utaha blinked and stuck out her tongue.

"Eek~ What a shameless woman!" Eriri said sarcastically, a surge of anger rising within her at the sight.

"Tsk tsk tsk, so this blond loser actually knows the word 'shame'? That really surprises me."

"I'll fight you!"

Uesugi Kenichi glanced helplessly at Aki Tomoya, who was also looking at him with a helpless expression.

As expected, real-life girls have absolutely no redeeming qualities. At this moment, Aki Tomoya became even more convinced of the fact that real-life people are heretics.

"By the way, what's the name of this game?"

"The tentative name is Zedar: Breath of the Wild!"

Dinner was rather simple; they just found a set meal restaurant nearby and ate something casually. It was clear that no one was really in the mood for food; their minds were still on the magnificent game world that Uesugi Kenichi had just described.

"Ugh, Uesugi, you've gone too far! It's so cruel! You shouldn't have described Zelda in such detail. How am I supposed to live these next few days?!" Aki Tomoya rubbed his hair in anguish.

The more he thought about the game "Cydar," the more he longed for it, as if a cat was constantly scratching at his heart. He felt that he would probably lose his appetite and sleep for the next few days.

"Me too, I feel like I should start drawing the characters right now. I'm so looking forward to seeing what they'll look like." Eriri sighed, slamming her hand on the table.

“I understand how you feel, but we can’t rush things right now. We still have too many things to learn if we start this project now.”

Kenichi Uesugi was very satisfied with the current results. He knew, of course, that they couldn't do the Cedar project with their current capabilities, but bringing the project out gave everyone a great desire and motivation.

Make them understand that the vast future he speaks of exists and is achievable, and is not merely a figment of their imagination.

"I'll contact you again in a couple of days to discuss our next project, which is also a very interesting game."

"Well, I've lost all my expectations. Today has already used up all my expectations for the past month."

After dinner, Uesugi Kenichi drove everyone home, and Kasumigaoka Utaha was the last one to be driven home, according to the distance of the route.

"Would you like to come up and sit for a while today?" Kasumigaoka Utaha licked her lips and smiled.

"Let's forget about it." Uesugi Kenichi decisively refused, seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha's ill-intentioned look.

"Alright then," Kasumigaoka Utaha said with some regret. "Speaking of which, where do you live? I'd really like to visit your house."

"It's just a small house, nothing special, and I'm moving soon."

"You're moving?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked in surprise, then her eyes lit up with a dazzling light. "Where are you moving to? Do you want me to recommend somewhere? Or if you don't mind, you can move in with me~"

"Don't worry, I live alone. How about you consider having a stunningly beautiful woman with you? Doesn't that sound incredibly appealing?"

Uesugi Kenichi pushed her away a little, annoyed. "No need, I've already found a place."

"That's a real shame. Where did you move to? When are you moving? Do you need my help?" Kasumigaoka Utaha said with some regret.

If only Uesugi Kenichi really agreed to move in with her, she wouldn't believe it. If they lived together day and night, how could she not win over a mere Uesugi Kenichi?

"Move to..." Uesugi Ken hesitated for a moment without telling her where he was moving to. Although she would definitely find out when he moved, he figured he could keep it a secret for as long as possible.

"Why won't you tell me? Don't you want to tell me? No, that's not right." Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Uesugi Kenichi with a hint of suspicion in her evasive eyes.

She bounced twice and stood in front of Uesugi Kenichi, staring directly at him. Her intense gaze made Uesugi Kenichi feel a little flustered.

"You won't tell me, is there something wrong with the place you moved to?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha carefully observed the changes in Uesugi Kenichi's expression.

"Could it be that you're being kept by a rich woman and that's why you're afraid to say it?"

Uesugi Kenichi glared at her irritably. Kasumigaoka Utaha chuckled at his reaction. Of course, she knew that was impossible. If he was looking for a rich woman, she was practically one herself, and she was also very beautiful. There was no reason why he wouldn't choose her.

"It doesn't seem so. Let me guess, could it be near my house?"

Uesugi Kenichi's pupils contracted. How could she have known that her guess was so accurate?

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Uesugi Ken's expression and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that I guessed right? Tell me quickly!"

She looked at Uesugi Kenichi without saying a word, then grabbed his hand and shook it. She closed one of her beautiful eyes and looked at him pitifully with the other. "Please tell me, okay? I promise I'll tell everyone."

It has to be said that when a woman like Kasumigaoka Utaha throws a tantrum, the power is truly terrifying.

As Uesugi Kenichi looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha in this state, his heart was pounding. Then, he covered his forehead and pointed diagonally across from Kasumigaoka Utaha's house.

"Oh my god, it's right across from my house?" Kasumigaoka Utaha exclaimed in surprise as she looked in the direction Uesugi Kenichi was pointing. Then, her charming eyes lit up with a happy smile as she hugged Uesugi Kenichi and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
