Chapter 89: I'm Afraid I Got a Fake Degree?!
After spending such a long time together, Qin Qin Xiaoyu still held great trust in Old Cai and Ah Wei.
There was only a portion of the cosmic worldview and the game's story content.
After pondering for a moment, he finally decided to briefly explain it to them first.
"The game's name, I plan to call it Honkai. Before discussing the content, let me first briefly explain the meaning of the word Honkai to you."
Qin Qin Xiaoyu paused for a few seconds, slightly organized his thoughts, then added:
"To put it plainly, Honkai represents chaos and calamity, born alongside human civilization. As civilization and technology advance, the power of Honkai will grow stronger accordingly.
And the purpose of Honkai's existence is to destroy human civilization."
Hearing this, Cai Qiu pondered for a moment, then frowned and sighed, "It sounds a bit sci-fi. Brother Yu, didn't you say you're making an anime-style game?"
Qin Qin Xiaoyu smiled and retorted:
"Is there a conflict between the two? Anime-style games themselves are a subcategory derived from the broad field of games, so it's reasonable for anime-style games to further branch out into other subgenres, right?"
Regarding this viewpoint, Cai Qiu and Chen Wei thought for a while and found no issues with it.
Seeing that the two had no further questions, Qin Qin Xiaoyu continued speaking:
"Next, to help you understand this concept, I'll briefly mention the game's cosmic worldview settings.
In the future, basically every game we make will not deviate from this cosmic framework. Of course, Genshin, which is already launched, is actually included within this cosmic system.
Let's temporarily call it the MHY Universe!"
The MHY Universe?
Upon hearing this term, Cai Qiu and Chen Wei were slightly stunned at first, then couldn't help but feel somewhat excited.
"Like the Marvel Universe? That's got some substance!"
"If understood that way, there's actually no problem! But hey, can you stop interrupting?"
Qin Qin Xiaoyu rolled his eyes at Old Cai, reorganized his words once more, and continued adding, "Let's start the story from the moment the heavens and earth were created.
First, you must visualize a scene in your minds: between the vast heavens and earth, there exists a colossal tree, its branches and leaves blocking the sky, its peak invisible to the eye.
Beneath this colossal tree lies an immense, boundless deep sea, whose depth no one knows and whose boundaries are unreachable.
Between these heavens and earth, only this one tree and one sea exist.
They are born together and accompany each other, yet they compete against one another.
We temporarily call the colossal tree the Imaginary Tree; it constantly takes root and grows, seeking to absorb the sea below.
And that boundless sea, we call the Quantum Sea; it constantly expands and rises, seeking to drown and devour the colossal tree above.
Whether the Imaginary Tree or the Quantum Sea, for us humans, they are higher-dimensional existences. Their relationship cannot be concretely explained using three-dimensional spatial theories.
The colossal tree and the great sea are merely abstract metaphors.
Do you have the scene in your minds now?"
After proposing the concepts of the Imaginary Tree and the Quantum Sea, Qin Qin Xiaoyu paused temporarily.
Seeing the confused expressions beginning to appear in Old Cai's and Ah Wei's eyes across from him, he decided to give them some time to digest it.
"Alright, Brother Yu, I've visualized the scene in my mind. Please continue!"
After more than ten seconds, Old Cai seemed to understand what was said and nodded toward Qin Qin Xiaoyu.
