Chapter 54: Isn't this game very simple?
Chen Dazhuang felt a pleasant surprise as soon as the game started.
"The level of improvement is amazing. Compared to Isaac, it's improved by at least ten times. Humans were utterly defeated."
Upon entering the game interface, the UI immediately displays the screen.
The game has two modes, one of which is the campaign mode.
The other is the arcade mode.
Next comes the chef, the setting, and the production list, but none of that matters.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Dazhuang randomly selected a mode and entered the game.
Upon entering, a plot gradually became clear—
In the not-too-distant future...
The world is red! A meteorite has fallen from the sky and crashed into this world.
Soon Dazhuang saw a strange king standing on the rooftop, gesturing to the player, who was the chef.
The end of the world is approaching, and the legendary behemoth is stirring.
Therefore, they must take action.
Players who are chefs are the only hope to stop the destruction of the Onion Kingdom.
The players' task is to unite.
Let's work together to feed that giant beast.
The next second, accompanied by the vibration of the mouse, a huge monster slowly appeared on the rooftop.
Da Zhuang was stunned for a few seconds. This game actually has a storyline?
The next moment, having been given a task by the Onion King, he saw the true appearance of the rooftop.
"Holy crap! The kitchen!"
As Da Zhuang was startled, the next second, the viewers also clearly saw the scene in front of them!
You Onion Kingdom, you think your rooftop is a kitchen?
The player, who was in charge of the cooking, could only watch helplessly as the enormous monster appeared before their eyes.
As for the kitchen?
No, the rooftop.
Almost all the basic kitchen utensils are available, with stove, pots, and ingredients arranged on both sides.
The Onion King was standing on the rooftop.
The kitchen was divided into two sides. One side was the food preparation area, where a player could take out what they had just prepared.
On the other side is the area for kitchen utensils and cutting vegetables.
It might not seem like anything special at first glance, but then the monster opens its enormous mouth, and an exciting background music starts playing!
The entire art style of the game is different.
"Oh! I see! This game isn't that complicated! It looks really too easy."
Chen Dazhuang nodded, seemingly understanding, "I think I understand..."
"The plot doesn't matter, as long as we can feed these diners."
"Does this game require multiplayer cooperation?"
When I first saw the game through the promotional PV, I thought it was rather chaotic.
But with the appearance of the prologue, the gameplay doesn't seem that complicated, does it?
Now, Chen Dazhuang is certain that he can definitely play this game.
All you need to do is prepare the ingredients, cook them into food, and then hand them over to customers to make money.
After saying that, Chen Dazhuang took a deep breath!
Me, Chen Dazhuang, what game haven't I played?
It's just a kitchen game, what's so weird about it?
Insomnia game, let this streamer shatter your arrogant facade!
Hmph!
After the opening CG cutscene, the prologue level is immediately presented before you.
only--
wrong!
"Holy crap! One person has to control two people to complete a mission?!"
"Is this something a human could come up with?"
The prologue level features two characters; in single-player mode, you control both characters and need to retrieve tomatoes and cabbages from the preparation area.
Then take it to the vegetable cutting room.
Moreover, time is limited; it's impossible for one person to have enough time to chop vegetables.
The monster also had rather strange food requirements.
What about cabbage with just cabbage, cabbage with tomatoes, tomatoes with tomatoes, and cabbage with cabbage?
It had barely begun when Dazhuang was already in a flurry of activity.
"Pfft! This game is fucking torture! Are they really treating players like little devils? Hahaha! Interesting!"
Da Zhuang had only been playing for a short while when he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
That's so damn entertaining!
[Hahaha! This is hilarious! Looks like the Insomnia Game hasn't forgotten its awful interactive elements!]
[Top-notch content! I can already imagine how lively and fun these streamers will be in their broadcasts.]
What was designer Shen thinking? Isn't he afraid these players will come crying to their mothers?
[Mom? What mom?]
[This certainly seems like work that the renowned designer Shen could handle.]
I can only imagine how much resentment those testers must have felt during the game's testing phase...
Amidst the laughter and cheers in the live stream, Chen Dazhuang's hands trembled even more.
Unlike the lighthearted banter in the live chat, this is different.
After passing the prologue, the subsequent operations become more complicated.
Each level has only four minutes. Press Q to switch chefs.
One person controls two chefs, chopping vegetables, preparing ingredients, and cooking the dishes.
Prologue?
What's the point of the prologue?
As soon as the prologue ended, a new recipe popped up to unlock.
"Soup?"
"Holy crap, what the hell is this?!"
Da Zhuang stared at the recipe in front of him in shock. This level had unlocked a new recipe?
But what the heck is a fire extinguisher?!
Why did the chef use a fire extinguisher?
Once you enter the main levels, everything changes from the prologue; there are many more dishes to prepare.
Diners' demands have also increased.
With new recipes unlocked, it's clear that soup has become the most important dish in this level!
Furthermore, it's important to note that this dish seems to have a high risk of catching fire if not handled carefully.
"Come on! I, Chen Dazhuang, am all ready today. This is just a small hurdle."
After saying that, Chen Dazhuang had already entered the kitchen!
As expected, it's different from the prologue!
The first chapter does indeed still feature two chefs, but the difference is that there are a few more operations on the stove.
The soup pot is simmering, and after each dish is served, the dishes still need to be washed in the sink.
It still shows four minutes!
Ding! 3:58——
The timer started! The quiet kitchen immediately erupted into chaos.
next second!
I just finished chopping the onions here, and a notification appeared on the sink that it was time to wash the dishes.
The dishes were just washed here, and the next second!
The soup pot burst into flames!
"Wait! Something's not right!"
"Is this game only fun when played with friends?"
"It's definitely not a problem with my operation; it's all that bastard author's fault!"
As the kitchen caught fire, Chen Dazhuang suddenly realized!
This game seems to be designed differently from Human: Fall Flat!
Its promotional video has already laid out the truth before its eyes.
It's just that I didn't believe it?
"Beep—beep—beep—beep!"
"Clang clang clang clang!!"
Four minutes vanished in an instant! The next second, the Onion King reappeared with the order!
