Chapter 89: Did I Maybe Get a Fake Diploma?!

After spending so much time together, Qin Xiaoyu deeply trusted Cai Qiu and Chen Wei.

Only one cosmology and part of the game’s story content.

After a moment of thought, he ultimately decided to give them a brief overview first.

“The game’s name is going to be Collapse. Before I explain the content, let me first clarify what ‘Collapse’ means.”

Qin Xiaoyu paused for a few seconds, organized his thoughts, then added:

“Put simply, Collapse represents chaos and disaster—it emerged alongside human civilization, and as civilization and technology advance, Collapse grows stronger.”

“The purpose of Collapse is to destroy human civilization.”

Hearing this, Cai Qiu pondered for a moment, then frowned and sighed: “Sounds a bit sci-fi, Yu-ge. Didn’t you say you’re making anime-style games?”

Qin Xiaoyu smiled and asked in return:

“Is there a conflict between the two? Anime-style games are themselves a subgenre of gaming—so it’s perfectly reasonable for them to branch further.”

After thinking it over, Cai Qiu and Chen Wei found no issue with this viewpoint.

Seeing they had no further questions, Qin Xiaoyu continued:

“Next, to help you understand this concept, let me briefly outline the game’s cosmology.”

“Going forward, every game we make will essentially stay within this cosmic framework—of course, Genshin Impact, already released, is already part of this system.”

“Let’s temporarily call it the MHY Universe!”

MHY Universe?

Upon hearing this term, Cai Qiu and Chen Wei first froze, then couldn’t help but grow excited.

“Like the Marvel Universe? That’s got some substance!”

“If you think of it that way, it’s fine! But can you not interrupt?”

Qin Xiaoyu shot Cai Qiu a look, reorganized his thoughts, and continued: “Let’s start the story from the moment heaven and earth were split.”

“First, picture in your mind a vast scene: between the boundless sky and earth stands a colossal tree, its branches blotting out the heavens, its crown invisible to the eye.”

“Beneath this tree lies an endless deep sea, its depth unknown, its boundaries unreachable.”

In this world, only this one tree and one sea exist.

“They nurture each other, yet also compete.”

“We’ll temporarily call the tree the Numeral Tree—it constantly roots and grows, seeking to absorb the sea below.”

“We’ll call the boundless sea the Quantum Sea—it constantly expands and rises, trying to drown and consume the tree above.”

“Both the Numeral Tree and the Quantum Sea are higher-dimensional entities to us humans; their relationship cannot be concretely explained by three-dimensional physics.”

“The tree and the sea are merely abstract metaphors.”

“Do you have the image in your mind yet?”

After introducing the concepts of the Numeral Tree and the Quantum Sea, Qin Xiaoyu paused.

Seeing the confused expressions on Cai Qiu and Chen Wei’s faces, he gave them a moment to process.

“Alright, Yu-ge, I’ve got the image. Keep going!”

After a dozen seconds, Cai Qiu seemed to grasp it and nodded at Qin Xiaoyu.
