Of the four stars at the bottom of the screen, only the first one is faintly lit.
The other three were so dark they seemed to have never existed, completely ignoring Dazhuang's presence.
Da Zhuang stared at the Onion King and the dog sticking out its tongue next to him on the settlement screen, and the more he looked, the more something seemed off—
The onion raised its eyebrows, the dog tilted its head, and their eyes seemed to say, "That's all?"
Holy crap!
He slammed his hand on the table!
"Are these onions and that dog... mocking me?!"
He leaned closer to the screen, his finger trembling as he pointed:
"Hey guys, look! Isn't this dog laughing? Isn't this onion moving? Isn't it shrugling?"
"Damn it—!"
A wail pierced through the headset: "Me! Da Zhuang! The top dog in the Dou Sha gaming section! I was actually mocked by an onion and a dog!"
"How can you tolerate this?"
Before the words were even finished, the live chat exploded!
[Hahaha, the time limit is just an excuse; the real reason is that my hands and feet just got to know each other!]
[Brother Zhuang, let's change the name of our livestream to "Brother Zhuang's Kitchen: From Cooking to Setting Fire in Just Four Minutes!"]
[Hilarious! The kitchen caught fire! This game is so realistic!]
I can testify that Zhuang Ge didn't use his hand to scoop the pot; he was just playing with it like a frisbee!
This game is so realistic, I can almost smell the burning... I've already placed my order, my partner and I are going to torture each other tonight!
[Take care, bro. I suggest you prepare a first-aid kit and a breakup agreement beforehand (doge emoji)]
Clearly, this chaotic, screaming, and laughing-filled cooperative gameplay is a breath of fresh air in the Donghuang Games industry.
With the countdown ticking away, cooking somehow felt like a life-or-death race against time.
Each step is interconnected: cutting the wrong ingredient, delivering the wrong order, or even simply blocking a teammate's way...
Any of these could plunge the entire kitchen into flames and chaos.
Although for Shen Huaizhou, "Mischief in the Kitchen" wasn't the most ruthless among all the breakup and friendship-ending games!
But don't forget, there's no such way of playing in today's world.
Which game developer is willing to spend time actually designing gameplay?
Which game developer would torture players like this?
Insomnia games don't care about market conventions. They just think it's fun.
And the players honestly voted with laughter and screams.
Furthermore, the original engine and graphics of Overcooked have undergone a major upgrade.
The art style was upgraded to the quality of Overcooked 2.
Even CG animation has been pushed to the future, in 2025.
Without hesitation, the emergence of Overcooked is a significant development for Donghuang, a game that currently only offers MMO, MOBA, reskinned pay-to-win, and Legend-like gameplay.
It's like a crane standing out from the crowd.
What is true interaction? It's not just about players throwing items at each other.
This game is designed so that players must cooperate with teammates, navigate challenging level terrains, and race against a never-ending countdown.
Especially the tense background music during the final settlement, which instantly turned the relaxing cooking game into a timed survival challenge.
And just like that, with Dazhuang's test, the game has been confirmed by the fans!
If this were streamed live by multiple players, the scene would be unimaginable...
……
"What? Even my master is playing this?"
In the DiliDili live streaming room.
Wearing a peach-themed cartoon costume, Peach's eyes lit up as she watched the barrage of comments about Da Zhuang's mishap.
"Master's playing too?! This Peach—the God of Cooperative Games—it's time to show off my true skills!"
The chibi peach in the bottom right corner of the screen started swaying proudly!
It was as if he had already taken Dazhuang by the nose and was now in complete control of the kitchen.
"Hehe, Isaac was my mentor before, and he saved me when humanity was utterly defeated... Today! History is about to be rewritten!"
She cleared her throat, her tone filled with a sense of mission:
"A mere cooking game, how could it possibly stump me?"
"Just you wait, tonight I, Peach, will lead my master straight to four stars and reach the pinnacle of culinary excellence!"
"With this peach in hand, Master can just lie back and relax! I guarantee I'll carry you smoothly to victory~"
Although this declaration, coupled with her slightly abstract expression in her costume due to excitement, greatly diminished its persuasiveness.
However, it must be admitted that every time he plays online with his mentor, the show's entertainment value and popularity will reach a peak.
Bold words have been spoken!
The reactions from the comments section were completely different:
A new vocabulary word has emerged: Peach's confidence!
[I recorded this; if things go wrong later, I'll just play this on repeat!]
【Peach, wake up! You were still crying when your master was playing Isaac!】
[Carry it on a flight? I bet five cents the kitchen will take off first tonight!]
[Carry it on a flight? I bet five cents the kitchen will take off first tonight!]
[Quick, take a screenshot! Pinocchio has set a flag!]
[I can already foresee the future where Master is silently picking up vegetables while you're frantically throwing pots...]
[Friendly reminder: Last month in multiplayer Human vs. Human, you were stuck on a roof beam for seventeen minutes!]
[Suggested title: "Tonight, who is the real kitchen killer?"]
The viewers in the live stream didn't believe in my skills!
Peach wished she could sing a song for them right there and then to liven things up!
I was initially hesitant about giving it a try, but now I'm not hesitant at all.
It's just a cooperative kitchen game! What's there to look down on my gameplay?
Hmph! It's just an insomnia game!
That's all there is to it!
"Hmph! You all don't believe me?"
"Cricket me?"
"I am the Peach Goddess! Not a cricket!"
Peach couldn't help but chuckle: "I've seen the PV for 'Overcooked Kitchen,' Master just doesn't know how to operate it."
In Taozi's memory, Master Fu's operation was just too bad.
When humanity is utterly defeated, even though it's the master who's holding them back, the audience insists on blaming themselves.
How could I, Peach God, the chosen one of cooperative games, possibly be a terrible player?
She had played all the previous installments of the Insomnia Game, completed The Binding of Isaac on her own, and even came up with some creative ways to play Human: Fall Flat.
Although I'm not very interested in other types.
But this chaotic kitchen, from its art style to its gameplay, seems tailor-made for her—
Especially the fact that he can legitimately command his master.
After seeing Dazhuang's miserable state in his live stream, she was itching to do it herself.
A righteous and eloquent speech.
The next moment, the live stream showed Peach picking up her phone.
She cleared her throat and pressed the voice button.
"Master, want to play Overcooked! online together?"
"Busy? Want to... play that new Overcooked game together?"
"I watched the live stream, and it seemed super easy! Trust me!"
"I promise, this time I absolutely, positively won't run off, and I'll follow your orders completely!"
Send a voice message.
The once aggressive Peach Goddess instantly shrank back into her suit, glancing at the comment assistant.
Once the live stream room fell silent for a brief moment—
Blasted.
