Chapter 1270: Chapter 1146: You are Provoking the Development Team!_1 Chapter 1270: Chapter 1146: You are Provoking the Development Team!_1 “So…..” Victoria looked at where her Golden Retriever teammate had vanished.
“What do we do now?”
“Do I need to jump down after it?”
“Or will it respawn here by itself?”
She turned to look at where it had just slumped to the ground.
If there was any place working as a save point, it would definitely be where the game had started.
But the Golden Retriever didn’t appear there.
It was hoisted up by three giant balloons, slowly lifted and then thrown back onto the large mushroom.
“Pop!”
One balloon burst, and the other two quickly ascended until they disappeared.
“Woof.” The Golden Retriever glanced at Victoria and guiltily turned its head away.
“…” Victoria wisely decided not to watch.
She silently backed away, started to run and took a leap of faith!
She landed stably on the other side, and then turned around to scornfully look at the foolish Golden Retriever.

After chickening out for a bit, the Golden Retriever mustered the courage to make a second attempt and finally succeeded in jumping over as well.
And as soon as it landed, it started to get overly excited.
Panting and laughing towards Victoria, the dog’s hot breath made Victoria’s fur flutter.
Subconsciously, she used her paw to rub her itchy face, then batted the Golden Retriever with her paw, signaling it to back off.
But the Golden Retriever didn’t care at all, and still enthusiastically came over, which nearly knocked her over.
Victoria waved her cat claws, smacking the dog’s face and chased away the overly enthusiastic, but possibly not so intelligent Golden Retriever.
Only then could she successfully jump onto a much smaller mushroom.
When she got there, the dim light from the sky became weaker, but the fluorescent glow from the plants became more obvious.
Following the fluorescent trail on the rocky wall, she could see a path extending into the distance.
But the problem was: the nearest landing spot was more than two meters away.
She couldn’t jump that far by herself.
Just when Victoria was about to say something, the Golden Retriever behind her suddenly barked, “Woof?”
She turned to look, only to find the Golden Retriever had started gnawing at the mushroom.
The place where this mushroom platform connected with the rock face was covered with some unknown plants.
A few round, red fruits were heavily hanging from the leaves.
In Victoria’s eyes, a faint glow even radiated from the surface of the fruits — clearly, the System was giving her a hint that these fruits were clues to overcoming the difficulty.
But the problem was: that stupid dog ignored those fruits entirely and was furiously gnawing at the mushroom beneath the fruits!
The mushroom with evenly distributed white spots on its bright red umbrella!
“?!”
“Stop!!”
Victoria, totally spooked, immediately went over, grabbing and pulling the mushroom.
With a “thump” sound, she and the half-eaten mushroom rolled on the floor.
Victoria quickly got up, threw away the remaining mushroom, turned to look at the Golden Retriever only to find the silly dog had collapsed, foam coming out of its mouth.
“Spit it out!”
“Spit it out quickly!!”
Victoria tried to force the dog’s mouth open.

But with a sob, the Golden retriever passed away in front of her.
“???”
“Are you trying to be funny?!!”
Victoria’s head throbbed.
Who knew there could be such a stupid dog!
She was quite familiar with Golden Retrievers and had never met one so dumb!!
…
This wasn’t just her problem.
At this moment, many players were also being plotted against by their [Intelligent Teammate].
But they couldn’t blame the development team.
Because they skipped the [custom teammate] step, it also included the “intelligence quotient” aspect.
Instead of directly setting the intelligence quotient of the teammate, one could set it to [real IQ], [above real IQ], or [below real IQ].
If the players skipped that, then one of these three options would be chosen at random.
How much higher or lower the IQ is than reality would then also be randomized.
Due to Cloud Dream’s large user base, there were many players who got screwed over by their foolish teammates, both cats and dogs included.
Of course, correspondingly, there are also numerous players who are overjoyed by the advantages that teaming up with high-IQ cats or dogs brings.
However, players that got fooled inevitably had a strong desire to vent; like Victoria, who was on the verge of cursing their name.
Therefore, in the first hour after the Homebound Demo launched, the most popular topic on social media, next to “Cat Lovers and Poop Shovel Officers make games,” was “Artificial Idiots Saving Low Blood Pressure”.
The hot topic #Cat Lovers and Poop Shovel Officers make games# had caught on largely due to the rich, meticulously detailed [custom character] function.
Victoria, among many others, felt that the 60 cat animations and individual cat information could serve as a cat breed encyclopedia.
There are a whopping 160 [world famous dog breeds] corresponding to the 60 selectable cats!
—This number far surpasses the imagination of ordinary players.
In the minds of ordinary players, the 20 breeds including [Golden Retrievers], [Huskies], [Pomeranians], [Alaskan Huskies], [Labrador Retrievers], [Poodles], [Shiba Inu], [Border Collies], [Teddy Dogs], [Pugs], [Samoyeds], [Chow Chow], [Pekingese], [Corgis], [Akitas], [Tibetan Mastiffs], [Chihuahuas], [Shar-Pei], [Beagles], and [Yorkshire Terriers] pretty much make up the entirety of the dogs they have seen or remember.
Players from different countries and regions might replace several from the list with local breeds, but the total number usually stays the same.
The development team of Homeward Journey greatly expanded players’ understanding of dog breed diversity.
Even the number “160” is categorized as a common breed, with many uncommon and new breeds not added.
The extensive custom options and the random hybrid system for dogs were just as elaborate as those for cats.
If you say there are no cat owners or poop workers in the development team, no one would believe you!
Because of the character creation feature alone, many players were mind-blown and sought to create the world’s cutest cat or dog.
And after the satisfactory creation of a kitty, their first reaction was not to enter the game, but to—
Screenshot!
Show off the photos!
Show off like crazy!
…
Cheryl was extremely satisfied with this.
She totally expected this sort of reaction from the players!
However, very quickly, something unexpected happened——
It never lacks people who are unique and different in the player community.
If someone shares cute photos, there are always people who share ugly photos.
While attractive cats and dogs all look similar, the ugly ones have their own unique ugliness.
Compared to the cute ones, the ugly ones gained even more popularity!
Particularly a grotesque cat produced using the hybrid feature and later customization——
This cat was bald on the top of its head, had slanted eyes, a nose that looked like a tuft of black beard, looked miserable, had skin that was filthy and couldn’t grow neat fur at all, and only covered half of its body…
It looked extremely bizarre.
Nevertheless, the emergence of this cat fully demonstrated the infinite possibilities of the “Hybrid System!”
Super Tomato saw opportunity in this.
He’s always enjoyed organizing various player activities, of course he wouldn’t miss this chance.
But a beauty contest seemed boring and too mainstream——there are already many “Cat Beauty Contests” in real life, so a unique competition was needed to make it interesting.
——So, why not hold an ugly contest instead!
Super Tomato, being proactive, immediately started writing a plan, setting the rules, and thinking about the prizes during a live broadcast.
However, the room administrators in the live streaming room asked,
“Are you serious?!?!”
“Aren’t you afraid the developers will come after you if you provoke them like this?”
