Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

But even while enjoying the delicious food, Lin Li's mind was still preoccupied with the Touhou Project.

"Hey, how can you talk about work while eating?"

Su Shanshan smiled and poured Lin Li a glass of soda water. Although she said that, after teasing him, Su Shanshan added another sentence.

"I thought the idea you mentioned before was pretty good, so why not use it?"

"You mean that?"

Lin Li finished his soda in one gulp and reached for a cola.

"It's the one where everyone's asleep," Su Shanshan replied, then reached out to stop Lin Li's hand from taking the cola. "Don't drink this, too much cola isn't good for you."

"What do you mean everyone's asleep? Don't talk nonsense..."

Lin Li didn't care that he didn't get the Coke.

Instead, they started discussing serious matters.

Before dinner today.

Lin Li provided several versions of the plot outline he had envisioned for the Touhou Gensokyo mobile game.

The "everyone is in a coma" that Su Shanshan mentioned is one of them.

Since it was a chat, Lin Li simply went on to discuss this version of the plot in detail.

Whether or not to put it aside for now, it's always good to expand your thinking.

In this version of the setting.

The first act goes something like this.

~~~

I've never seen eaves like this before.

After the camera effects, players will see the eaves of an ancient wooden building.

White ropes, the kind commonly seen in Japanese temples, were hanging from the eaves.

In the first person, he sat up.

The first thing you see is a huge money box, or rather, an empty money box, though it seems to be empty.

Beyond that, right in front of the offering box, lies a cozy courtyard with blue flagstones and green grass.

A breeze blew, and the air was filled with the scent of fresh grass. Looking down, you could even see fine lines on the wooden floor, making it look just like a real wooden plank.

I stood up and stomped my foot; the feedback of the force was incredibly real.

Am I...time traveled? But where am I? Why does this place feel so familiar?

Chapter 227 This move is definitely worth it!

at this time.

The camera zooms out, and the player character runs their hand over the wooden crate, clearly feeling the roughness of the wood. They bend down and sniff, not only smelling the unique fragrance of wood but also a smoky smell in the air.

I looked at my hands; they were slender and white. I pinched the web between my thumb and index finger, and it hurt…

Looking around, this was a Japanese shrine, with a red torii gate, white shimenawa ropes on the eaves, and most importantly, a donation box placed at the entrance.

I walked into the yard, looked at the blue sky, and took a look at my own body.

Wearing a simple gray short-sleeved shirt and shorts, she felt the cool breeze in the yard.

This is the first scene where the player appears.

~~~

"Won't using time travel make it difficult to immerse oneself in the story?"

Su Shanshan picked up a skewer of chicken wings and asked a question.

"What if we don't time travel? Are we just going to randomly pick a villager A to be the player?"

Lin Li wiped his hands.

He thought a lot about the players' character backgrounds.

If Reimu Hakurei isn't the main character, the best approach is time travel.

For players, the identity of a time traveler offers the strongest sense of immersion.

Although it's a bit cliché.

However, the setting of Touhou Gensokyo itself actually contains elements of time travel, since Gensokyo and human society are not completely separated.

Many technological products have also fallen into Gensokyo.

In the original work.

There are also many modern technologies, such as the camera that the kappa made for Aya Shameimaru.

therefore.

Using the concept of a time traveler isn't too far-fetched.

In addition, Lin Li has some other settings for this player-controlled character besides the time travel.

So after Su Shanshan complained.

He tapped the table lightly.

"Don't interrupt, keep listening to me."

~~~

After confirming that he had traveled through time, the player-controlled character took a breath of fresh air and then did a few stretching exercises in the courtyard to get used to the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, a girl's voice came from above his head.

"What are you doing? Are you practicing some kind of martial arts technique?"

At this point, the camera pans to behind the player.

At that moment, a girl dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit was sitting leisurely on the edge of the roof, observing him.

The girl had delicate features and beautiful long hair. Her red and white shrine maiden outfit fit her perfectly, with ties at the top of the sleeves securing it to her upper arms.

She wore a yellow bow tie, and two buns of hair were tied in red and white decorative hairbands at her temples.

Among them, the most eye-catching thing is the huge red bow pinned behind the girl's head.

The girl's physical features were so distinctive that the protagonist instinctively said her name.

"Reimu Hakurei?"

"You know my name?"

When Reimu Hakurei saw the person in front of her call out her name, she was first surprised, then clearly became interested.

Clutching the hem of her skirt, she floated lightly to the player and looked him up and down.

As Reimu Hakurei sized up the player, the player was also looking at the girl in front of him.

With her bright, expressive eyes, fair skin, and exquisitely sculpted face, players can even clearly see the change in the girl's double eyelids when she blinks.

As Reimu Hakurei gets closer and closer...

The system will display a prompt.

[Asking if this is Gensokyo]

[Ask her about Gensokyo]

Let her see it like this.

[Kiss him.]

~~~

"So, what would you choose?"

Lin Li asked Su Shanshan.

"It feels like a role-playing game, I'd definitely choose to go for it."

Lin Li glanced at Su Shanshan and could only think, "No wonder she writes erotic novels..."

"Hey, this option is obviously for the amusement person, you really want to choose it?"

Su Shanshan nodded.

"Okay, um, wait for me to make one up for you."

Lin Li thought for a moment and continued speaking.

~~~

As the player made their choice, the character on screen performed an action that Reimu Hakurei never expected.

He took a step forward and kissed her.

A gentle breeze blew by, catching Reimu Hakurei off guard by the sudden attack.

But the next second, the girl kicked the player away.

The kick that's shown here is a real kick that sends the player flying.

Just like in the animation.

Dozens of seconds later, the player flying in the air was pulled back to the ground by gravity. With a crisp crack, their game character was smashed into a meat pie.

It turned into a screen full of 'mosaic'.

~~~

"Ah? Died already?"

Lin Li nodded.

"Otherwise, if you're going to choose the 'fun person' option, then you should naturally go for the 'fun person' route... Okay, let's choose again."

Su Shanshan said with a smile.

"I think it's better not to add this option. Making the player die at the beginning is not a good experience."

~~~

After a little incident...

The story then returns to the game.

Back to the topic.

The appearance of the player surprised Reimu Hakurei. She was very curious about this stranger who could call her by name, but what surprised her even more was yet to come.

Because of the appearance of players.

Reimu Hakurei noticed something else: the gohei in her hand suddenly felt warm, and a long-lost power surged from her hand, raising her alert level.

The girl looked at the imperial coin in her hand, then looked at the sky.

"Wait!!! My power seems to have returned!?"

"But...how is this possible!?"

~~~

This statement unfolds a worldview.

In this version of the plot outline, the strange power of the entire Gensokyo began to gradually disappear at a certain point in time.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter if it's the youkai, gods, or anything else in the entire Gensokyo.

They all lost their power.

Most of the humans and youkai living in Gensokyo have entered a long-term "hibernation" state.

Only a small number of humans, along with Reimu Hakurei, are barely maintaining a tiny circle of "living people".

But now, with the players entering, it seems that all the power has returned in an instant.

Along with the power came the crisis.
