Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

"I won't stop streaming until I clear the level today!"

The viewers in the live stream immediately burst into laughter.

[Here she comes! Miss Pufferfish has gotten even bigger!]

[You still have the nerve to call this game "Defend Houmu"? I wonder who was the one who got stuck and frustrated after reaching level 100-something last time, and only managed to beat it after checking a guide?]

[Haha, this new game just came out, there won't be a walkthrough yet. Miss Pufferfish, aren't you getting a little too cocky this time? If you really get stuck, you might as well never sleep!]

[Yay! I can watch the streamer's live broadcast anytime!]

[I've already recorded it, so don't regret it later, streamer!]

As Xilin looked at the comments in her live stream, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

She also regretted speaking too boldly earlier. This game was only released today, so there probably won't be a walkthrough so soon.

But she quickly regained her confidence!

Because this time she wasn't fighting alone!

She also had a comrade-in-arms!

This is also her biggest source of confidence in playing puzzle games this time!

At least when I lose face, I can drag someone down with me.

Xilin patted the table and said to the camera, "This time, I've also invited a friend to my live stream, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao from [Houmu Studio]!"

"She's also my best friend!"

"This Plants vs. Zombies game was made by their studio!"

Soon, Jiu Xiao's face appeared in front of the camera in the live broadcast room. She was still wearing a bandage coat today, with her arms crossed and a smug look on her face.

"That's right! This game was created by the savior himself!"

"Rejoice! Rejoice! This is a groundbreaking innovation! This game will surely be recorded in gaming history! It will become an indelible mark on the glorious achievements of this savior!"

The atmosphere in the live stream paused for a moment, but only for a second, and soon it became even more heated.

Penglai Temple, Nine Heavens!

While still a student, he created the game "Houmu Adventure" and pioneered the "Houmu" IP! Afterwards, it received a lot of attention.

Many large game companies offered her jobs, but she rejected them all.

After disappearing for a while, she reappeared in the public eye, having partnered with others to create a small personal game studio and licensed the IP of "Houmu" to the studio.

In the years that followed, she created many Houmu games, all of which achieved great success, making many people very envious.

Although the popularity of Houmu has declined in recent years, Jiuxiao's fame has grown stronger thanks to the accumulation of previous years.

Just when people thought she would continue making Houmu games, she unexpectedly created a brand new IP game.

Moreover, judging from the character art in the game, it has absolutely no connection to Houmu.

This is a truly brand new game!

Of course, the reason why Jiuxiao appeared in Xilin's live broadcast room is, as Xilin said, because the two are very good friends in private.

Jiuxiao often visits Xilin's live stream, and since they both love playing games, they often get together to play whenever a new game comes out.

What's more, this time, Plants vs. Zombies was produced by Nine Clouds.

Immediately, the live stream was flooded with messages like "[Greetings, Savior Lord Jiuxiao!]" and "[Savior Lord is awesome!]"

"With Jiuxiao's help this time, beating this game will be a piece of cake for me," Xilin said confidently.

Jiuxiao glanced at Xilin and blinked: "Well, actually, I haven't finished the game yet either."

Sirin: ? ? ? Huh? ? ?

"No, didn't you make this game? How come you couldn't beat it?"

Jiuxiao was a little embarrassed: "Well, I made the earlier levels, and Xiaotu made the later levels. The later ones are more difficult, and I haven't figured them out very well."

Xilin: (〇o〇；)

The fans burst into laughter.

[Hahaha, the streamer thought he had it in the bag, but it all went wrong!]

I was initially doubtful whether the streamer would be able to end the broadcast tonight, but now I'm certain they're going to stay up all night.

Although the game was made by Master Jiuxiao, making it doesn't mean I know how to play it.

[Miss Pufferfish had no intention of ending the stream; she just wanted to find someone to take the fall for!]

This livestream is addictive!

Seeing the comments, Jiu Xiao coughed awkwardly.

"Well, although I haven't finished the game yet, I can still provide some beginner guides and answer some questions. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Chapter 293 This Zombie Is Not That Zombie

"And I want to emphasize that the level design of this game was not designed by me, but by Mr. Bai Quyin himself. I just did it according to his requirements."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the live stream was stunned.

Is the game's planner really that cunning?

And they didn't just plan the game, they even took care of the level design?

Although everyone had heard that Qu Yin was involved in the game, they subconsciously thought that Qu Yin just made a few minor suggestions and that the real main force should be Jiu Xiao.

But now, according to Jiuxiao, the main force in this game is Quyin, and Jiuxiao is just a support?

A composer making games?

What kind of behavior is this, neglecting one's proper duties?

Jiuxiao continued, "As Qu Yin's first game, I can assure you all that this game is really, really fun!"

"Without further ado, let's jump into the game and show you!"

Xilin nodded and directly opened the already installed game.

The opening screen is very simple, with the words "Plants vs. Zombies" at the top. The plants are green, while the zombies are grayish-white, and the battle in the middle is on a tombstone.

In the lower left corner, there are some strange plants with eyes and mouths, which look silly and cute. On the right is a bald green zombie wearing a tattered suit with few teeth.

Upon seeing this scene, Xilin was stunned for a moment.

She had assumed that the so-called "zombies" would be like those in the movies, dressed in ancient official robes, with yellow talismans pasted on their heads, jumping around with their hands raised in front of them.

But looking at the current zombie illustrations, these zombies seem to be able to walk like normal people.

Is this still the "zombie" she remembers?

At this moment, the background music for the title finally started, and the rhythmic piano music entered everyone's ears.

To be honest, the intro was quite eerie the first time I heard it.

The addition of the "zombie" element instantly elevates the atmosphere.

Before she could react, the loading bar below had already finished, and a zombie head popped up on the progress bar, startling Celine.

Celine had clearly never seen a zombie like this before, and she was a little nervous.

"Isn't this a tower defense game? Why does it look a bit scary? And what's with these zombies? They look terrifying!"

Not only Xilin, but the viewers in the live stream were also stunned, even forgetting to joke around.

[Shouldn't zombies be stiff all over, with blackened, sharp nails, and blue faces and fangs? This doesn't look like a zombie at all.]

[Could this be an original monster design? I thought zombies were scary enough, but these monsters seem even more terrifying than zombies?]

Thankfully, the art style is rather cartoonish, so it looks alright. If it were a more realistic style, I can't even imagine how terrifying these "zombies" would be.

Should we use plants to fight this monster? I have a bad feeling about that.

[I find the background music quite interesting. Although it's a bit eerie, it's surprisingly catchy.]

Of course, look who composed the music.

[Quyin is still awesome.]

[With music like this, this game would be a steal even at 6 yuan!]

[Positive review +1]

Seeing this, Jiuxiao knew it was time for her to explain. She cleared her throat and began:

"As you can see, the monsters in our Plants vs. Zombies are these kinds of zombies, but they're different from the ones you're familiar with. They're caused by a bio-virus infection."

Jiuxiao gave a long and detailed explanation of the concept of bio-zombies that he had heard from Bai Qianqu to the viewers in the live stream, and even added a little more as if he wasn't satisfied:

"These zombies, also known as ghouls, only retain the most primal desire to eat. What they love to eat most is the brains of living people! That is, the brains of you players hiding in houses!"

Accompanied by eerie music, Jiu Xiao's laughter was chilling.

Immediately, the atmosphere in the live chat changed, with many people drawn to the novel concept of "biochemical zombies."

They had never imagined that monsters could be created using scientific methods.

Moreover, these monsters can even infect normal humans through biting and other means.

If these monsters appeared in the real world, what would be the consequences?

Just thinking about it sent a shiver down the spines of the viewers in the live stream!

It's practically the end of the world!

Seeing that everyone seemed to be frightened by the concept of bio-zombies, Jiu Xiao clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"Alright, that's the background story of our Plants vs. Zombies. Our game takes place in a world after a biohazard outbreak. Fortunately, the virus created zombies and also caused the plants to evolve, resulting in some unexpected changes. I won't spoil those; you can experience them for yourself in the game."

"What we need to do is keep the zombies out of your own yard and prevent them from breaking through your defenses and coming into your house to eat your brains."

"Okay, let's get ready to start the game!"

Seeing that Jiuxiao had finished speaking, Xilin quickly reached out and tapped the screen, finally entering the game's main page.

A large tombstone appeared before everyone's eyes, with several options displayed on it. However, the lower ones were grayed out and could not be clicked, while only the top one, "Adventure Mode," was colored.

The background behind the tombstone is a house, and in front of it is a grassy area.
