A Couple Made In Dreams

Chapter 41: His World

The testing department was a department in a game developer company that didn't require relatively high skills. A normal position only required some experience with games and enthusiasm to work. In every way, Serena could be said to be very familiar and skilled with games, so she was more than qualified for this work.

The testing worker's job was actually very dull. It might be talking repeatedly with a NPC to find if there is a bug, or to walk on the same map over and over ...... it was not what most people thought, that you just had to play around and that was the end of it.

Today the testing department was actually starting a large batch of testing. They already didn't have enough people and adding one more in was of benefit. The workers in the department worried initially that this rumoured girlfriend of the boss was coming to waste time, but who knew that she only needed a bit of time to familiarize herself with the controls of Dreams 2 and very quickly was up to the task

The department head felt like he had received a treasure and quickly gave approval to this future boss' wife.

Serena felt into addiction the moment she entered Dreams 2. Even when "on the Pokemon, they call him brother gary" happily came to observe, she didn't have the mind to pay attention, causing HansomeOak to dejectedly walk away. At noon when she went out with Ash to eat, Ash casually asked: "What did you do this morning?"

Serena's eyes started shining: "Did testing for the flooding quests."

Because the weather in Dreams 2 tried to model reality as best as they could, the game had sunrise and sunset, wind, frost, lightning and thunder. There were stretches of sunlight, and then there were prolonged periods of rain. Since there were periods of rain, then that would cause a certain place to have flooding so flood quests would be created.

After a certain village is flooded, the system would send out a notice, asking players to rescue NPC children and seniors or to help save NPC property. After they accomplish that, they would receive rewards. Players need to learn how to swim first, and then in the allotted time rescue the NPC to specified safe zone. In the water, the health would continuously decrease so if they couldn't make it on time, the player would die and fail the quest.

So there were also quests to rebuild after the disaster and there were, of course, also quests to transport water and etc. Serena could be considered to have played many games, but this type of special and very unique multi-person quest, it was the first time she had seen it.

During testing, she had heard the employees talking about childcare and feeding children quests, performing on the street quests, a family system, and weaving and so on. Even though she had only seen the tip of the iceberg, but the parts she had seen of the quest system in Dreams 2 was already enough to amaze Serena.

But at the end, the thing that had impacted Serena the most today, was the scenery in Dreams 2.

The misty mountains, the vast rivers and lakes, the dense and elegant bamboo forests, the secluded and peaceful valleys, these places that she was used to seeing, when they came to Dreams 2 seemed uniquely epic in scale.

Of course, there wasn't just the landscape. There was the smooth and graceful moments when releasing a technique, the almost-real expressions on the faces of the avatars ......

Serena knew very early on that the 《Dreams of Pokemon 2》 engine had been written alone by Master and wasn't a mass-produced one from another country. She had expected that on the images and the movements, it would be better than the norm, but when she saw it in action, she hadn't thought that Master's engine would create such elegant and vibrant landscapes as well as such smooth and articulated movements.
