Chapter 123: Who doesn’t have a dream?
“What’s the first dish?”
"It looks like onion soup, with three onions."
"Ok, I'll get it."
Ouyang Xiao and his roommates have a very clear division of labor.
At the beginning of the level, one of them ran to the chopping board, and the other ran to the food storage, took out three onions and chopped them up.
Soon, three portions of onions were chopped and put on the stove to cook.
"No, why is the reading time so slow?"
Ouyang Xiao looked at the reading bar slowly crawling on the stove and finally felt that something was wrong.
Just at this moment, three servings of onion soup base appeared in the upper left corner.
Seeing that time was running out, she didn't care about anything else. She put the uncooked soup base on the stove and continued to cut onions.
“Why do I feel like time is passing so quickly?”
The roommate who was busy cutting vegetables looked at the time and was shocked to see that there was less than half time left.
"Hurry, hurry, cut it faster, or it will be too late."
Ouyang Xiao suddenly accelerated, moving back and forth between the food storage and the chopping board, moving all the onions out.
But just when he was halfway through the run, a red exclamation mark suddenly popped up on the stove, and an alarm beeped.
"What? Is it going to explode?"
The two of them quickly looked towards the stove, completely unaware of what had happened.
Ouyang Xiao plucked up the courage to move closer, but it was too late.
Following a burst of rapid alarm sounds, the stove suddenly caught fire.
Ouyang Xiao was in a panic. He followed the instructions and picked up the fire extinguisher next to him to put out the fire. He finally saved the soup base, but found a burnt icon on it.
“Is this still edible?”
She looked at the pot of soup in her hands in confusion.
"Don't worry about that, there's not enough time, bring a few more plates over!" The roommate's anxious voice came from the side.
Ouyang Xiao glanced at the time and saw that there was only a little over a minute left.
I didn't have time to care about all that. I threw down the soup base and ran to the front desk to get the bowl to wash. My roommate turned around and put three portions of chopped onions on the stove and started cooking.
"Ahhh! It's too late!"
"Damn it! Why are the ingredients so far away from the cutting board?"
"Don't wash the dishes , bring up the cooked ones first!"
"It's on fire again! Put it out!"
"Hey hey hey! You're blocking me..."
In a blink of an eye, the whole kitchen was in chaos.
Ouyang Xiao and his roommates were sweating profusely as they ran around the kitchen.
It was obviously just a few simple production steps, but they made them busy and jump up and down, and their shouting sounds echoed in the live broadcast room.
The chaotic scene made the audience laugh.
"It's so funny. He even said he was a cooking god."
"Look how anxious you are. Where is your elegance just now?"
"It's not because the game is difficult, but because the players are too bad."
“This game is so interesting, hahaha!”
"If friends play this game together, shouldn't they just break up?"
This game is really fucked up.
When I first saw it, I thought it was just a simple business game.
The result was full of mysteries, and there were so many traps in it that the show effect was immediately improved.
soon.
Time is up.
Ouyang Xiao and the other person were exhausted. They finally got a one-star rating and almost failed to pass the second level. The commentators were so amused that they died.
It was not until this time that they knew why the game was called "Overcooked".
This gameplay setting is simply ridiculous!
"I just don't believe that I won't be able to pass the third level today!"
"It Takes Two" was stuck at the second level. Even such a simple game was stuck at the second level. Ouyang Xiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Then let's continue?" said the roommate eagerly.
Although I was quite overwhelmed just now, I have to say that this game is really fun.
It is not like other business games where you simply buy and sell things and then sit there and wait for the money to slowly increase.
Instead, it has very rich operability and initiative.
Even when running a store, you will never be idle and dazed.
On the contrary, the rhythm is tight, making people immersed in it unconsciously.
It feels like being a chef in a restaurant with a bunch of customers urging you to cook, and it’s very stressful.
As long as you are familiar with the operation and grasp the rhythm, it is definitely a good management game.
So quickly, the two adjusted their mindsets, continued to challenge the next level, and started their cooking journey again.
…
In a blink of an eye.
Three days passed.
After three days of hard work.
Master Wang and Maomao from Dousha Live, after going through untold hardships, finally passed the three levels representing love, attraction, and passion.
And come to the last level, which represents the end of the dream level.
"This should be the last level, right?"
Maomao's voice sounded in the voice channel, full of emotion.
The character she controls has always dreamed of becoming a singer.
But because of marriage, she had to give up her dream and work hard for her family.
And this.
Exactly the same situation as she is now.
For the sake of her children, she had to give up her live broadcast career and devote herself to her family.
This also caused a lot of conflicts between the two of them.
The theme of this last level was dreams. Along the way, she realized the greatness of maternal love and felt valued.
"Let's go, this should be the last part of the plot."
Master Wang's voice came, much deeper than before, and no one knew what he was thinking.
at this time.
They have passed the final challenge and are at the back of a stage.
That will be the place where the heroine realizes her dream of becoming a singer.
Maomao glanced at herself in the makeup mirror. She still looked like a woolen man. She said "hmm" and walked along the long red carpet, step by step, onto the stage.
In an instant.
The lights flickered and there was a big cheer from below.
Looking at the figures surging below the stage and the lights shining on them, Maomao felt as if he was there and saw himself chasing his dreams.
Then, heartwarming music started playing.
The heroine in the game looked around in panic, her hands clenched tightly.
But after seeing the microphone in front of him, he finally plucked up the courage, opened his mouth, and hummed softly along with the music.
In the originally panicked eyes.
It also blossomed with unprecedented brilliance.
It is so breathtaking under the stage lights.
Not to mention Maomao who was involved in the story, even the audience who had been watching the live broadcast in the past few days were touched, with complex emotions growing in their hearts.
"Fuck! You looked at me so late at night."
“It’s so hard. Life is so hard.”
"Who doesn't have their own dreams? It's just that life forces us to do so."
"I once fantasized about becoming a big shot, but in the end I still had to bow to life."
"well……"
Every sigh tells of the helplessness and bitterness of life.
At the same time, they are extremely gratified that the characters in the game can fulfill their original dreams on their behalf.
Since this cannot be done in reality, one can only seek solace in the virtual world.
This may be the real reason why they love games.
I have to say.
This game, It Takes Two, is really well made!
