Chapter 233: Dream Dota League!
Hong Dali continued, “On Valoran, although there are some disputes regarding the military discipline for Demacia, the people still respect them. The commoners and the soldiers all follow the principle of zero tolerance. This means that in a war, Demacia soldiers will never find any excuse, run away, or surrender.
“As for Garen, this brave warrior who has the title of ‘The Might of Demacia,’ he is the role model of the army. Thousands of heroes fight to their death on the battlefield between Demacia and Noxus.
“Under the war flag of these two nations, Garen met his match—’The Sinister Blade,’ Katarina. Those soldiers who survived the war all felt that their battle wasn’t a fight, but more like a dance between them!”
“Wow!” As Hong Dali’s story reached this point, Tang Muxin was the first to ask, “Did they end up being together in the end? They are so pitiful, rivals who are on par with each other, so romantic. If they didn’t end up together, it will be a pity…”
All the females present nodded.
That was why people said that the thinking of men and women were different. The three male lackeys thinking was “which side won the war,””where is this story from, how come I have never heard of it before,” and “Young Master Dali is so awesome, he can come up with such a story so easily!”
“Them?” Hong Dali touched his chin, grinned and said, “I’m not sure of that too…”
“You are really evil!” Lin Zixuan wheedled. “Let them be together! I don’t care. Then, Big Bro Dali, what’s after that?”
“After that?” Hong Dali continued. “The battle with Katarina resulted in Garen returning from the battlefield panting, which was the first time that happened. Some people even thought that he desired after Katarina’s beauty, so he didn’t fight with his full force!”
“Those people are really too evil!” Tang Muxin pouted. “They should all be beaten and dragged on the ground to death!”
She knew how to use this phrase of Hong Dali too now…
“Then, after that?” Lin Zixuan nervously asked.
“After that?” Hong Dali continued. “Quite a lot of people believed that Garen didn’t win the battle, not because of a lack of his fighting capability. These rumors were even more fearsome than a tiger. One or two people saying this doesn’t matter, but once the number of people saying this becomes a lot, even something false will become the truth. Therefore, after that fight, every time Garen fought with Katarina, he always tried his hardest to prove himself. Being the role model of Demacia, Garen never responded to those rumors, because he knew that other people wouldn’t understand him. For a real warrior, fighting a rival who’s on par with oneself is his motivation. Such a beautiful, special rival can prove his worth for existing.”
After saying all these, Hong Dali shrugged and coolly said, “Garen’s strategy at the battlefront is, the best way to kill the enemy is to hack and kill those beside them too!”
“Wow!” Lin Zixuan’s blood was boiling from hearing this. “Then, Brother Dali, this story you are telling, where did you hear it from? Is this an anime, a comic, or a novel?”
The others expressed their curiosity too. Jin Zishan was, after all, someone from this profession, she said in surprise, “Young Master means to say that this can be drawn into a comic, is that it? Can I adapt this story into a comic?”
“Hm?” Hong Dali touched his chin. “This is a good idea. Actually, this was just a plot I thought of when I was bored in school. It might actually succeed if it’s turned into a comic!”
Hong Dali reckoned that he couldn’t guide anyone to draw out the classic comics from his previous life. After all, he couldn’t remember their story in detail anymore after so many years. Even for the most popular “One Piece,” Hong Dali also wished that he could ask his friends there to burn the new releases of the comic to him—if that were possible…
However, although he was unable to reproduce the comics, creating a story regarding Valoran seemed to be quite possible.
Yup, not just Valoran, there were others too!
An inspiration flashed through Hong Dali’s mind. “Oh, speaking of which, I really have a good idea!”
“What good idea!?” Hong Dali’s good ideas were all very valuable. From doing the concert for Li Nianwei to “I Am a Singer” and “Unexpectedly,” any of them could result in a massive profit. Now, hearing that he had another idea again, everyone’s interest was instantly aroused.
“Young Master, what good idea is it?”
“Dali, quick, tell us. I hate it when people leave me in suspense!”
“Brother Dali, is it a game?”
“Haha, this is definitely a good idea. However, we can only proceed with half of it for now!” Half was enough, Hong Dali gritted his teeth, stomped on the floor and said, “Sister Zishan, draw more characters. This idea of mine is to create a game! We don’t have enough programmers now, but you can start designing the characters first!”
“Character design? This is my forte!” Jin Zishan nodded. “Then, do you have any request, Young Master?”
“Yup. The fierce warriors from The Three Kingdoms, like Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, and such. I want all those with high fighting abilities. Design them to be as majestic as possible, is that OK?” Hong Dali looked at Jin Zishan expectantly.
“No problem.” Jin Zishan’s drawing skills were definitely not lousy. Naturally, it wasn’t a problem for her. “Is there anything else?”
“Also add in Orcs, Dwarfs, Elves, Elementals and such. Are you fine with drawing these fantasy styled characters?” Hong Dali asked again.
“Those aren’t a problem too, I should be able to draw them.” Jin Zishan smiled and nodded.
“Yup, lastly, draw some divine beasts and all sorts of weird creatures too.” Hong Dali grinned and said, “These are the game characters that I need. Sister Zishan, you are really awesome!”
“It’s my honor to be able to be of assistance to you, Young Master.” Now that she had regained her confidence, Jin Zishan was quite graceful. “Then, I shall prepare first and start drawing them tonight.”
“There is no rush, don’t tire yourself.” Hong Dali grinned and comforted her. “We’re not in a rush anyway.”
At this time, Lin Zixuan who was listening at the side couldn’t wait anymore and asked, “Brother Dali, what is the name of this game that you are going to make? Is it a PK game or an adventure type? Or is it a combination of both?”
“This game?” Hong Dali eye’s were practically radiating light. “It shall be called ‘Dream Dota League’! How does this name sound!?”
Hehe, since League of Legends was mentioned, naturally, there was a need to mention the three similar games from his previous life!
Dream Three Kingdoms, Dota, and League of Legends!
These three were similar in that they all had three paths and the aim was to destroy the opponent’s base. Here, it was quite impossible for Hong Dali to perfectly replicate these three games, but this didn’t prevent his creativity regarding this sort of game!
Incomplete character design? No fear, Sister Zishan would take care of that!
Game structure? Just throw in money for it! Other things aside, such a simple game design, Hong Dali believed that any suitable game production team would be able to design a game structure without any bugs if he threw in enough money.
As for the rest, it was just a matter of time. That wasn’t a problem since they were not in a rush, anyway!
“This is a good name—I don’t really know about this kind of stuff, anyway. But Dali, this game you are talking about, will it really work?” Tang Muxin tapped her lips with her finger and asked.
“How should I know that?” Hong Dali said it like that was how it should naturally be. “I’m not concerned if people will like this game or not. It’s enough for me as long as I think that it’s fun. Yup, let’s start with a capital of 50 million for this, hahaha!” Look at how happy he was. 50 million, that’s 50 attribute points!
Then, Hong Dali was a little gloomy again. A game production team wasn’t white cabbage that one could just find at the roadside, they were not so easy to be found—for example, the game production team for Liu Mingxin’s Draconic Continent, hire them to work for him? There was no need to even consider this possibility.
“50 million!” Tang Muxin was totally shocked. “How big is this game going to be! You haven’t said what kind of game this is. Don’t tell me you just want to squander on this simply because you thought of this idea of making a game?”
“That’s right!” Hong Dali shamelessly admitted it. “I just want to play, that’s all! Come, come, let me tell you all what kind of game this will be!”
Mentioning games, Lin Zixuan was the most interested. The little lass obediently passed Hong Dali a pen and paper. “Brother Dali, good Brother, quick, tell me about it. If it really is fun.” Lin Zixuan secretly placed her mouth near Hong Dali’s ear. “I will let you see my panties!”
“Panties…” Hong Dali turned around and furiously pinched her. “Little lass, you are not learning anything good!”
“Hurry up and tell me!” Lin Zixuan’s face was distorted into all kinds of shape, but she was still only concerned with the game. “I’m really curious!”
“Yup, then, let’s start!” Hong Dali instantly started drawing a map on the paper.
Speaking of which, his drawing was really unbearable to look at. The lines were all crooked, it was only barely recognizable as a square. “This is the battlefield on Valoran. The one at the bottom is Noxus, and this one at the top is Demacia!”
“It’s just a square?” Lin Zixuan was dazed. “Then, a bunch of people will just fight back and forth on this map?”
“Er.” Hong Dali touched his nose. “Not a bunch, but five each side.”
Saying so, he drew three crooked paths and a crooked river on the map. “These three paths are the path that the small creeps will walk. The river at the center is very particular. There are bushes inside, dead corners, forest in the surroundings, and wild creeps and such.”
“Hm?” Lin Zixuan was indeed a gaming genius, she quickly understood. “This way, the map will become complicated and the game will become diversified, right?”
The little lass stretched out a finger and pointed here and there. “Big Bro Dali, look. If we place some wild creeps here, we will be able to get some gold if we kill them, right?”
“Clever!” Hong Dali laughed and said, “This is actually just a map, a very simple square map. However, there’s a lot of different things to look out for inside. For example, the bushes. If you control your character and hide in it, your opponent will won’t be able to see you. You can sneak on someone this way! Think about it, a few of your teammates are hiding here and an enemy foolishly walked in, boom—”
Then, Hong Dali added, “This is the legendary three sluts of the bushes!”
