Chapter 240 - Old Summer Palace
The character was transported to another world after stepping through the portal.
There was a massive fountain in front of him in a garden filled with blooming flowers. There was a beautiful palace in the background as well. The whole scene looked heavenly combined with the blue skies and clouds.
Soon, the buildings in Yuanmingyuan Park appeared one after another.
Dagongmen, Palace of Heavenly Purity, Hall of Supreme Harmony, Ruyi Pavilion, Ru Gu Hanjin, Natural Drawing, Bitong Academy, Zuishi Linliu, Yuetan Yunju, Wuling Spring Scenery, Wenyuan Pavilion, Xifeng Beauty, Pinghu Autumn Moon, Pengdao Yaotai, Guanlan Hall, Unique Cave, Western Building, Lion Grove Garden, Yulinglong Pavilion…[1]
Classic buildings in the park appeared one after another.
Clear water of the lake, well maintained garden, Chinese style buildings, Western style buildings. Everything had their own unique features even the trees were different.
Moreover, there was a character exploring the park where there wasn’t one for the Forbidden City. The audience had a better sense of scale with a little man for scale.
The day slowly turned into night and the lights in various buildings lit up harmoniously as their beauty complemented one another.
“Didn’t he say that it’s all built by hand, block by block?”
“You believe that? He’s probably just saying that. It’d take more than a year to build something like that by hand without any assistance. It’d take more effort than developing the game itself!”
“Maybe… Chen Mo is super human?”
“He has to be using some tools. We’ll know when the game is released!”
TL note: [1] These are all names of places in the garden. Some of these are poetic, others are literal. There aren’t proper translations for most of them either, so these weren’t translated so well.
