“Hahaha!”
In Qiu Yu’s rental, Alan watched the latest news and laughed uncontrollably.
Qiu Yu had just finished packaging and uploading his game. Hearing the laughter, he came over and asked, “What’s so funny?”
“It’s just... that... hahaha...”
Alan intended to explain properly, but the video he had just watched was too hilarious, causing him to burst into laughter several times. Finally, he managed to say, “You know how food games are all the rage these days? Guess what, the Brits actually dared to release one too. How could they dare!”
Qiu Yu couldn’t help but start laughing too.
...
British cuisine is renowned worldwide; a culinary guide compiled about it could be completed in ten pages, the only thing thinner would be “Good Deeds Done by the United States.”
Grabbing two cans of beer from the fridge, Qiu Yu sat down beside Alan, and they started watching the video on Alan’s tablet.
Dragging the video to the beginning, Alan also grabbed a beer and started watching from the top.
The video was posted on an overseas platform, where a blond, blue-eyed guy began introducing a newly released British game.
“This is a really creative game. The developers claim it can perfectly replicate British cuisine, allowing us to enjoy the wonder of food through the game.”
Drinking his beer, Qiu Yu said, “A perfect replication? Kirin Industry’s game pods are only at 30%, right?”
Casually choosing a dish of fish and chips, a lively fish appeared in front of the presenter’s view, along with prepared fries.
“Hmm, the representation of the food is not bad. Now, we just follow the instructions, put the fish into the virtual fryer, and fry it up.”
The process of cooking the food was replicated by the game, a quite standard and not particularly interesting process, but still watchable.
However, everyone knew that the focal point of their attention was the developer’s selling point, “perfect taste replication,” not anything else.
The presenter knew what the audience was expecting, so he skipped the middle process and went straight to the final step, taste replication.
The freshly fried fish and chips looked not bad, the steaming appearance somewhat appetizing. But the most important element, the taste, was still missing.
Luckily, when the final plating was completed, a dialogue box popped up in the game: “Would you like to enhance the taste function? Enhancing it once will cost £5.15.”
“It costs money?” the presenter scratched his head in resignation before choosing to pay.
“Okay, the function will be enabled in approximately two hours and fifteen minutes. Please wait.”
This prompt left the presenter even more baffled.
But since it was a commercial arrangement, no matter how odd it was, he had to wait it out.
What he didn’t expect was that this wait wouldn’t just be for two hours and fifteen minutes, but a full four hours.
Even though the presenter edited that time out for the video, Qiu Yu still felt some impatience, and the presenter in the video had become so bored that he started running around the room. At last, after four hours, there was a knock at the door.
Opening the door with confusion, the presenter found a sturdy black man at the door.
