Chapter 024: Boss Chen's Mercy and Cruelty
Chen She exclaimed, "What a good fellow."
This repeat customer is really too hardcore!
At the beginning, Chen She had specifically reminded them not to have any evil ideas and snatch people on the streets.
Zhou Lei and others did listen to him and did not go to the streets to rob people.
But what do you mean by trying to pull out all the stops to get Zeng Hailong?
Chen She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If the person he arrested was an ordinary passerby, it would be fine, but if it was a small thug, wouldn't it be considered as eliminating harm for the people and maintaining the law and order of the entire street?
Seeing these hooligans all with pale faces, as if they had been tortured, Chen She felt a little bit sorry for them.
Even if they have committed crimes, they should be tried by the police and the court. It is not appropriate to always mentally torture them.
Chen She asked: "How many hours have they fought in total? How is the progress?"
Zhou Lei answered truthfully: "It's been 17 or 18 hours in total, but the progress is not very fast. We still haven't reached the persuasion stone. Some people just sit there and don't move forward after entering, and some people keep dying in almost the same place."
Chen She thought about it and it was almost done.
These little hooligans have fully demonstrated the terrifying power of Mewtwo in Ember of the Dead. It would be a bit inhumane to torture them like this.
Thinking of this, Chen She decided to give them some leniency: "How about this, you tell them, whoever can defeat the Dissuading Stone can experience our new Mewtwo again, and won't have to suffer any more."
Chen She felt that the game "Embers Are Going Out" had already tested almost everything. Since there was no deep hatred, there was no need to let everyone continue to suffer.
Once these little hooligans have finished testing "Strolling in the Garden", it's almost time to let them go.
Zhou Lei nodded and conveyed this message to everyone still in the Mewtwo game cabin.
…
At this time, Zeng Hailong was walking slowly forward in his dream like a zombie.
In fact, the trial version of "Embers of Demise" does not have much content, just from the initial small village to the city wall.
It is approximately less than 14% of the entire game size.
If he played seriously, it would be impossible for Zeng Hailong to not reach the stone of persuasion after more than ten hours.
After all, the enemies in the previous section are not very strong. Once you reach the city wall, the guards on the wall will really launch a dimensionality reduction attack on the players.
But the key point is that Zeng Hailong has absolutely no interest in making progress in this Mewtwo!
After dying several times, he no longer had the motivation to move forward.
Just lie down in the original village and wait for this period of time. After a while, walk around and find a monster to kill once, so as not to be discovered by the shop assistants.
So after more than ten hours, although his combat skills had improved to a certain extent and he had a certain understanding of the content of the entire scene, the progress of the game was not obvious at all.
Just then, Zhou Lei's voice came to his ears.
"Our boss said that whoever gets the dissuading stone first can leave this Mewtwo and experience another Mewtwo from our company."
Hearing this, Zeng Hailong was cheered up, and an indescribable joy surged in his heart!
Could it be that I can finally escape from this sea of suffering?
For this Mewtwo, he feels like he is in prison every day. If there is a legendary hell in this world, it is probably just like this.
Now I heard that as long as you reach a place called the Persuasion Stone, you can escape from the sea of suffering. What a happy thing this is!
But then I thought again, something was wrong.
The boss didn't tell them to let them go, but said that if they got the stone of dissuasion, they could go and experience another Mewtwo of their company.
Could it be that that Mewtwo is even more terrifying than this one?
Doesn't that mean you just escaped from the tiger's mouth, but fell into the wolf's den?
Zeng Hailong felt that his life was over and there was no hope at all.
The day he was forced by life to join the Shark Gang, he was not as desperate as he is now.
He felt that sooner or later he would be killed by this terrible black shop!
But after struggling for a long time, he decided to move on.
Try to get the dissuasion stone first and see what the situation is.
Even if the next Mewtwo is still scary, at least it’s a change of environment and mood.
…
Setting out on the journey again, Zeng Hailong found that his progress seemed to be much faster.
This was partly because he had been enduring this huge amount of negative emotions all the time during the past ten hours or so, and as he adapted to this weak body, his mentality had improved a lot.
On the other hand, it was because he had indeed summed up some combat skills and methods during countless deaths, and had a thorough understanding of the situation in this area.
The pitchfork and hatchet can be used to deal with different enemies respectively. As long as you move forward carefully, remain vigilant at all times, and choose appropriate weapons and fighting methods, the road ahead cannot be said to be an absolute dead end.
Finally, Zeng Hailong moved forward bit by bit in fear, and the outline of the imperial city appeared in the distance.
He found that the scene around him seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"Isn't this the place where Mewtwo starts?"
Zeng Hailong suddenly realized.
The surrounding scenery is exactly the same as the one at the beginning of Mewtwo!
In that experiential dream, he was trapped in the body of a game character, feeling the desperate and painful mood of the game character, moving forward step by step, and was finally ambushed. He leaned exhausted against a stone, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
Zeng Hailong held the hatchet tightly and carefully observed the surrounding situation, and sure enough, he found the big rock at the beginning.
A knight in ragged clothes sat on the ground with his back against a big rock, his head bowed. A rusty sword was stuck beside him, and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead.
Zeng Hailong walked over cautiously and tried it out, but got no response.
"It seems to be dead?"
Zeng Hailong secretly wanted to take the rusty sword next to him.
As a result, at this moment, the knight leaning against the big rock suddenly moved!
The hoarse voice seemed to carry some mockery and some sadness.
"Another poor wretch trying to save the flame."
"The destiny of all people in the world is about to burn out. What can the power of one or two people change? This world will eventually fall into an abyss of no return."
"Let's go back."
"Countless knights with great martial arts skills have fallen on the road. What can a farmer like you who falls down at the slightest gust of wind do to change that?"
"Forget it. Since you don't want to turn back, let me, with only one breath left, put an end to you."
The ragged knight reached out and grabbed the rusty sword beside him, then slowly stood up.
Zeng Hailong was about to shout that this was a misunderstanding, but suddenly realized that the unscrupulous Mewtwo producer had not turned on the speaking function at all, and the player was a mute in Mewtwo.
However, seeing this ragged knight standing up with difficulty, Zeng Hailong was not so scared anymore.
Because now he understood that the experiential Mewtwo at the beginning was experienced from the first-person perspective of this knight!
The negative emotions that Zeng Hailong felt at that time, whether hunger, fatigue or despair, were the real experiences of this knight.
In other words, this knight is also in a very bad condition now, and is not necessarily much stronger than him.
Zeng Hailong looked at the knight's face carefully, and suddenly felt that he looked similar to the sinister and cunning boss of the experience store who loved to smile.
"I've known for a long time that this boss has some mental problems, but I didn't expect that he would make the first mini-boss in Mewtwo look like himself!"
"That's great. I can take my anger out on this guy."
Zeng Hailong thought back to the injustices he had suffered in the past few days, and he couldn't help but get angry and rushed towards the knight waving a hatchet!
The result was a miss.
The knight dodged very nimbly, and then the rusty sword in his hand pierced his throat directly.
After being resurrected again, Zeng Hailong was not convinced.
He felt that he was too careless and was killed by this dying knight.
So he calmed himself down again and prepared to settle the score with this knight.
But after four or five tragic deaths, Zeng Hailong fell into a brief period of daze and confusion.
This boss is smuggling contraband!
Is it a bit too much to make yourself so awesome in the game?
It is obvious that this knight's fighting ability is several levels higher than those vicious dogs and crazy villagers he encountered before!
Although those villagers were also scary, their movements were exaggerated. If someone dodged them after they pounced on them, they would instantly lose balance and fall to the ground. At this time, Zeng Hailong could easily kill them.
But the knight's movements were very clean and neat, and his attacks were steady, accurate and ruthless.
Even if Zeng Hailong succeeded in injuring this knight, he would often be killed by him!
"I just don't believe it! I still have more than three hours left, and I can be resurrected infinitely. Can't I defeat you in more than three hours?"
Zeng Hailong knew very well that as long as he killed this knight, he could come to the Persuasion Stone and say goodbye to the disgusting Mewtwo "Embers Are Going Out" forever.
The premise is that if the boss keeps his word.
With such a clear goal, Zeng Hailong began to revive again and again, challenging this knight, who is the incarnation of the evil boss!
…
At the same time, Chen She in the experience store was also observing the progress of these gangsters through the background.
The one with the fastest progress has died more than 20 times here at the hands of the unknown knight.
Chen She himself was a little surprised. It turned out that the role of the man who persuaded people to quit was so powerful.
In fact, Chen She did not ask Lin Luxi to make a difficult setting for this character. He just made it a bit better than the player in terms of physical fitness and weapons. In addition, he also customized several clean and concise attack moves for it through the artificial intelligence system to improve its combat AI.
But just such a simple change has already caused great trouble to the players!
Because the cold weapon combat capabilities of most people are totally mediocre!
Gangsters like Zeng Hailong are used to being in strong physical condition and using their physical advantages to defeat their opponents.
As a result, after their physical fitness was left far behind, they were no longer able to fight back.
Chen She suddenly felt a little guilty.
He promised these people that as long as they defeated the discouragement stone, they could experience the next Mewtwo and be freed from the suffering of "Embers of Demise".
This promise brought more pain to these gangsters...
It's impossible that after 6 hours, no one has been able to defeat the guy who persuades people to quit, right?
Chen She couldn't help but want to cheer for these poor little gangsters.
