Becoming a life winner from infancy

Chapter 182 156 The Beginning of the Legend of the Brave

"You've already... prepared these things?"

Fang You nodded slightly, "Yeah, consider it some material that should give you a rough idea of the kind of story I want to tell and the game I want to make."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Previously, Fang You had acquired two Talents: "Rod's Hero" and "Hero of the Skies," corresponding to the main works of the "Dragon Quest" series from the first to the sixth installment.

By activating the purple Talent, Fang You could gain access to all development materials of these games, including script outlines, art setting collections, and game mechanics plans, and of course, the finished games themselves.

However, when Fang You handed them to Song Hang, it wasn't necessary to show such a complete set of materials; he had selected only a portion of the data to put in a USB drive. As for the finished games, just as Fang You had mentioned before, "Dragon Quest" after all was a product of a bygone era.

Even though this world had never seen anything like these games before, "Dragon Quest" was confined by the capabilities of its time, with many user-unfriendly designs, and some gameplay elements needed adjustment.

In other words, Fang You planned to use Song Hang's help to undertake a comprehensive remake of the "Dragon Quest" series.

This time, the remakes could be done following the timeline. From the perspective of the game's universe and mechanics, "Dragon Quest III" was the best fit for the opening story.

Although he was amazed that the kid he knew had thought things through so thoroughly, the idea of him making a game was just too sudden, and Song Hang found it hard to accept right away.

Because no matter how incredible Game Bro was, the story that an 8-year-old could come up with just made you want to scratch your head.

But, in any case, let's take a look first...

"Let's start with the setting of the world."

Fang You said as he opened the document about the script outline from the USB drive.

With a tentative heart, Song Hang began to seriously read the game script created by an eight-year-old:

"The evil demon king Baramos threatens and destroys the world, while the game's protagonist, the hero, is the descendant of the great warrior Ortega. Ortega had undergone a harrowing journey, and finally, after a fierce battle with the evil dragon atop the volcano, he fell into the crater and his whereabouts became unknown.

On the hero's 16th birthday, the king of Aliahan summoned him to the castle, informed him of this past story, and hoped that he would follow in his father's footsteps and eliminate the demon king Baramos who endangered the world."

Well, a pretty standard script written by a child.

However, unexpectedly, there was a bit of anticipation...

Song Hang continued to read.

The world setting in the script was just an outline, roughly revolving around how the protagonist would find his way into the volcano to challenge the demon king as the clue, embarking on adventures around the world to search for the six magical orbs that grant entry to the volcano.

When he saw the original artwork Fang You presented, Song Hang was immediately captivated by the designs of these characters.

"Wow... These characters all have such distinctive designs! The lines are smooth and simple, and the overall style is refreshing and bright, yet the details are by no means sloppy. Especially in terms of costume textures and background design, they maintain the cleanliness of the picture while being filled with rich visual information..."

"I can't say whether everyone will like it or not, but I really love this lively and energetic style!"

"Uncle, you look very lively and energetic right now, too."

Song Hang had been muttering to himself until he suddenly realized that Fang You had been watching him all along. He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "No, I mean, it's just... I really didn't expect you could reach this level. You're only 8 years old!"

"An 8-year-old can do many things, and so can an 80-year-old, as long as you keep a young and passionate mentality, you can do anything well."

Fang You said.

"Haha... Uncle has really been defeated by you, Brother You."

As he looked at the vibrant and lively character drawings in front of him, Song Hang chuckled, then suddenly let out a sigh.

"Brother You, there's something I want to tell you, to share what's been on my mind."

Song Hang spoke softly, "To be honest, before I met you guys, I was always contemplating whether to keep on living."

"If you guys hadn't insisted on visiting my place, that day might have been... Haha."

Song Hang scratched his head, "But I figured, even if I wanted to die, I couldn't let you guys know about it. I was afraid you'd blame yourselves and feel guilty, and that it would make you unhappy for the rest of your lives."

"So, at least I had to wait until you forgot about me before..."

"Now, though, I don't want to die anymore."

Song Hang said, "With such an awesome game to develop, it feels like it wouldn't be worth it to die."

"Ah... you really are a stubborn one, to the very end..."

"But, you're lucky, because you've met a man like me."

Fang You said with a smile, "We should be able to create a win-win situation. I'll let you shine in your true light."

"However, since I'm still a child and only have New Year's money and pocket money, I can only pay you a tiny bit for your salary."

"No, no problem! To make such an interesting game together, Uncle is happy to do it!"
