Chapter 240 - Old Summer Palace (1/2)

The character was transported to another world after stepping through the portal.

There was a massive fountain in front of him in a garden filled with blooming flowers. There was a beautiful palace in the background as well. The whole scene looked heavenly combined with the blue skies and clouds.

Soon, the buildings in Yuanmingyuan Park appeared one after another.

Dagongmen, Palace of Heavenly Purity, Hall of Supreme Harmony, Ruyi Pavilion, Ru Gu Hanjin, Natural Drawing, Bitong Academy, Zuishi Linliu, Yuetan Yunju, Wuling Spring Scenery, Wenyuan Pavilion, Xifeng Beauty, Pinghu Autumn Moon, Pengdao Yaotai, Guanlan Hall, Unique Cave, Western Building, Lion Grove Garden, Yulinglong Pavilion…[1]

Classic buildings in the park appeared one after another.

Clear water of the lake, well maintained garden, Chinese style buildings, Western style buildings. Everything had their own unique features even the trees were different.

Moreover, there was a character exploring the park where there wasn’t one for the Forbidden City. The audience had a better sense of scale with a little man for scale.

The day slowly turned into night and the lights in various buildings lit up harmoniously as their beauty complemented one another.

And when dawn came along, everything looked heavenly under the yellow glow of the sun.

Finally, the background music faded out before the character woke up in a shock from their sleep.

He was still in the ruins of Yuanmingyuan Park.

A melancholic background music started playing as the character looked at the ruins in front of him in dismay, before an abrupt end to the video.

Yuanmingyuan Park piqued the interest of the players once again before the buzz from Forbidden City faded again.

“The second video is out, this time is The Summer Palace! Chen Mo showed us that not only can you make real life buildings in game, but ones that don’t exist too!”

“That was so quick! It’s only been two weeks since Forbidden City’s release, how did he release Yuanmingyuan Park so soon?”

“Building the entire park in two weeks? It’d be tough even if you worked day in day out! There must be an easier way to build these things, maybe there’s a generation algorithm or something.”

“Makes sense. But the game does seem really fun!”

“And this video was much better than Forbidden City. The introduction of the character showed us that the buildings are on the same scale as real life, and the addition of a story helped with the imagination!”

“That’s incredible! It’d have to support him on the basis of these two builds!”

Not only did the videogame media hop on it the second it was released, even some traditional media did the same.

There was even a news channel that took a few minutes during their off-peak times to showcase the two videos and Minecraft.

The Game Committee in particular were really happy with these videos as it promoted Chinese culture. No matter recreating the Forbidden City or The Summer Palace, both were entirely positive things to have happened. The officials even decided to reserve a promotional space on the official app store and on the Illusion Game Editor.

Minecraft gained immense popularity after the release of these two videos and even looked like it could overtake Thousand Hells.

Moreover, more and more players wanted to know more about its sales date and price.

Chen Mo was still working hard in the office.

He used an Efficiency Adjuster and was building various buildings in Minecraft in what could be described as a demonic speed.
