Chen Mo was quite satisfied. He was worried about the audio side of things of the game, so the skill book was a godsend.

Chen Mo always hired people to do BGM and sound effects for his game, as he did not have any musical bones in him.

For some of the classic games, it will be impossible to recreate them perfectly just from dictation. Therefore it would be better if he took matters into his own hands.

Chen Mo tapped and activated it immediately. The blue skill book turned into rays of light and entered his fingertips.

Chen Mo took out the keyboard from his office that had been provided by the competition officials. Thinking he wouldn’t be able to use it, he had put it away, as it was just gathering dust.

After trying out a couple scales, he connected it to the computer and produced a simple ten second long BGM. Chen Mo felt that it sounded alright, and he was able to handle the audio part himself for simpler games.

“Not bad, off to a good start. Now all that’s left is to see the results for the two ten spins.”

Chen Mo took a deep breath and tapped the ten spins button.

Clack, clack, clack…

The wheel spun up and slowed down constantly, finishing ten spins within thirty seconds. The ten draws showed on the screen in the order they were drawn.

Designer Skill Books: three Coding books, four Level Design books.

Special Skill Books: one +10 Original Art

Special Effects Book: one +10 Animation Skills

Special Equipment: Memory Playback Potion

3This caught Chen Mo’s attention. Pretty good, ten draws did make a difference! It felt like the chances of drawing blue and purple rares were much higher than single draws!

2Chen Mo hurriedly checked out the effects of the special equipment.

Memory Playback Potion: After consuming, freely remember any forgotten or murky memories, lasts for four hours.

That was pretty good! Chen Mo badly needed that item.

There were many games that Chen Mo had played before that he could barely remember now. Although there was a faint impression, it wasn’t enough to reproduce all the details.

With the Memory Playback Potion, Chen Mo would be able to dive into his past memories. As long as he has played it or done a deep dive into it, he’d be able to recall the experience.

Chen Mo consumed the skill books without giving them much thought.

Coding skills +3, Level Design +4. Chen Mo estimated that his true coding ability was about 27, and his true Level Design ability was about 35. Combined with the Memory Playback Potion, recreating some more complicated minigames wasn’t a problem.

There were two other Special Skill Books: one for Original Art, another for Animation.

It was obvious that the drawing mechanism was programmed to separate skills, such as art and music, that weren’t related to video game engineering, to be part of the Special Skill Books.

Original Art +10, Chen Mo’s Original Art skills had been raised to 19, and were now able to deal with games with simpler art styles.

From barely anything to now something, Animation skills were now decent with the +10 skill book. Chen Mo could now do some simple 2D animations, which was key.

-Draw again!-

With another ten draws in him, Chen Mo tapped on the screen once again.

Clack, clack, clack…

The wheel started spinning once again, and another ten items followed it.

Designer Skill Books: seven Storyboarding skill books, two Coding skill books.

Special Equipment: Lucky Capsule.
