Chapter 156: Anti-aircraft guns kill mosquitoes
"I don't accept it! Let's play again! I will definitely win this time!"
Wang Laoju was so angry that her face was distorted.
It was so easy to pass the level, but no one could bear it.
If he didn't take revenge today, he would not be able to sleep at night.
How could he sit still? He clicked on the interface and started a new game, still using the Wanjian style.
But this time he was more careful.
I no longer choose those messy things that have negative effects.
We have to move forward slowly and carefully.
Although he was not as lucky as in the previous game, he still gathered key relics and skills in the next few levels, defeated Qin Wu, and came before the Dragon Emperor again.
There was not much communication, they started fighting as soon as they met.
After getting through the first few stages without any major problems.
The familiar voice finally sounded.
[Kneel down!]
With a loud shout, a purple storm swept across the field.
Even Wang Laoju, who was prepared, was still shocked.
He hurriedly activated his sprint skill and kept fleeing outside, finally running out of the storm area before the pressure fell and avoiding triggering the instant kill mechanism.
"There's nothing you can do now? Die!"
Seeing that the storm had dissipated, Wang Laoju stopped being polite with his boss.
It exploded at full speed immediately, and all the flying swords were directed at the Dragon Emperor's face.
The horrific damage instantly emptied his remaining health.
【Destroy! 】
The Dragon Emperor stood still, somewhat unwillingly, and as if his vitality was exhausted, his body began to slowly dissipate.
“ohhhhh!!”
“Finally passed.”
“It’s not easy.”
"I told you that you can pass it if you play it safe, but you didn't believe me."
"This should lift the curse, right?"
Seeing this scene, Lao Ju breathed a sigh of relief.
After playing so many games, I finally cleared the level. It was really not easy.
After a brief pause, he walked to the corpse and picked up the only thing on the ground, a golden scroll.
[Forbidden Book: Blood Alliance Seal: The Blood Alliance Seal requires a primary bloodline and four secondary bloodlines to form. The primary bloodline can continuously provide power for the seal, but the secondary bloodlines cannot.]
[How to remove the blood alliance seal: The main blood kills the providers of other bloods. Every time a secondary blood provider is killed, the seal will become weaker.]
"Wait, I remember the clue we found in the concubine's room just now said that the protagonist was the prince who was left outside, right?"
Sudden.
Wang Laoju remembered the clue he got after killing an elite monster outside the palace just now.
It is said that the protagonist is a prince who chooses to kill his father and relatives in order to save the country.
Now he has done it.
Not only did he eliminate the four major families, but he also personally killed his own father, the source of the disaster.
Logically speaking, the Warm Snow Curse should have been completely resolved.
But he always felt something was wrong.
Especially after seeing the contents of this scroll, I was even more shocked and confused.
One main bloodline and four secondary bloodlines should refer to the Long family and the four major families.
The way to break the seal is for the main bloodline to kill the secondary bloodline, that is, for the Long family to kill the four family heads.
And the protagonist.
Flowing in his body... is the blood of the Long family.
"It's over! We've fallen into a trap! Killing them doesn't break the curse, it destroys the seal!"
Who is Wang Laoju? He immediately uncovered the truth of the matter and his eyes widened suddenly.
The audience in the live broadcast room who heard his analysis were also excited.
"Oh my god! Is it possible??"
"So the rumors that the Dragon Emperor and the four major families broke the seal were all false!?"
"Does that mean you killed the wrong person?"
"An unexpected plot twist!"
"I see! I was wondering why it seemed a little weird."
"Haha, it wasn't serious enough before, but now it's completely over."
The sudden reversal can be said to have broken everyone's back.
From the opening narration, to the obstructions encountered on the road, to the clues collected along the way, almost all point to the Dragon Emperor and the four major families.
Who would have thought the result.
It is their existence that suppresses the sealed disaster.
The protagonist, who has the blood of the Dragon family, kills them, which is a process of weakening the seal step by step.
It was really unexpected.
That is to say.
They were taken advantage of from the beginning.
"I want to see which bastard dares to take advantage of me."
After coming back to his senses, Wang Laoju's gaze finally fell on the dragon throne at the edge of the sword tomb.
After the Dragon Emperor died, an additional interaction option appeared.
[Y: Destroy the Dragon Throne]
He walked over and pressed the Y button.
Then, a cutscene appeared.
The protagonist raised the sword in his hand and suddenly inserted it into the dragon throne.
In an instant, the sword tomb burst into a dazzling red light, and the entire seal pattern lit up.
Then the light gathered and turned into a pillar of light that shot up into the sky and went straight into the clouds.
And the originally pale sky had already turned blood red.
Instead of stopping, the warm snow became even heavier!
[Uh, hahahaha…]
At this moment, wanton laughter sounded, echoing in the protagonist's ears.
[Thank you for your hard work on this journey, hero~]
The light flickers.
In the pitch-black screen, a blue face slowly appeared with a strange smile on its lips.
"Shit! It's her!"
"She is the mastermind behind this?"
The barrage in the live broadcast room was boiling again.
Because of the people who appear in the picture.
It was the proprietress they met at the beginning, the woman who always sold props to them on the way!
“It was her.”
Wang Laoju was very surprised, but also felt it was reasonable.
"It looks like we got the be ending this time, which is not bad, at least we unlocked one ending. If so, there should be a happy ending as well. Let's see if we can get that today."
It's just a game after all.
Not to the point of getting angry about this.
Instead, it made him even more curious about how the happy ending was triggered.
"Chairman, I just saw the happy ending in the live broadcast room of the collector next door."
"It seems that we need to collect all the records and trigger the option of letting him go from the Tiger Family Master before we can re-strengthen the seal after killing the Dragon Emperor."
At this moment, a barrage of comments suddenly flashed across the live broadcast room.
Wang Laojiu, who was about to start over, saw this comment and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is that so?"
He quickly opened the page of his travelogue and found that he had collected almost all of them, with only the last few left.
This is terrible.
If there is no happy ending, he will not be able to sleep tonight.
After adding the points, he immediately opened a new one and rushed out of the Motherly Church again.
However, when he just walked to the altar, he noticed the changes on it. There was an additional difficulty option!
When I clicked on it, I saw that there were five levels of difficulty.
Light snow, moderate snow, heavy snow, heavy snow, torrential snow.
With each increase, various curses will be added, greatly increasing the difficulty.
What's even more outrageous is.
I tortured him to death before and he died several times.
It's just the simplest first round, fine snow!
And you can only unlock the next difficulty after you clear the level!
"You told me I was only playing on the lowest difficulty? One game?"
In front of the camera, Wang Laoju sat there with a frown on her face, and the audience burst into laughter too.
It turns out that the level they cleared with so much effort was only the lowest difficulty.
The slap on the face was really loud.
"No, no matter what you say today, we have to fight until the big... medium snow!"
Wang Laoju had just said half of his words when he suddenly changed his tone, switched to medium snow difficulty and hurriedly ran out of the professional hall.
"You are so scared."
"Isn't this heading straight for the snow?"
"I only admire the chairman for being able to make the lowest level of difficulty look like the highest level of difficulty ."
"Haha, indeed. Others can't learn it even if they want to."
"This game is so interesting. I'll go play the next one too."
"It seems that Honghuang has also updated a free DLC called 'Ember Dream', which can be unlocked after clearing Crazy Snow. Why not give it a try?"
"Huh? There's also DLC?"
DLC is equivalent to the subsequent expansion pack of the game.
Generally, game manufacturers will only launch new games when the game sales are declining to maintain popularity.
It’s rare to hear of a game like Honghuang, which was launched on the same day as the main game, and it’s free!
This one is a bit difficult to unlock.
You have to clear the game on the highest difficulty.
Even Wang Laoju died so many times at the lowest difficulty level, so you can imagine how difficult the levels will be later.
I guess no one will be able to really play it in a short time.
Make them more curious about the subsequent content and plot.
Even among players, there is a trend of challenging the highest difficulty.
One after another, walkthrough videos appeared on major websites, which brought a lot of popularity to the game, and sales began to increase rapidly.
…
at the same time.
Inside Honghuang's office.
"Mr. Chen, are you sure... you want to test the waters in the online gaming market with this thing?"
Old Song and Old Li stared at the computer in front of Chen Lin in disbelief.
All I saw on the computer was a horizontal 2D scene that couldn’t be simpler.
Next to a big tree with a hole in it, there stood a figure that looked almost pixelated. In his red hand, he held a rough wooden stick that he had picked up from somewhere.
There was also an NPC who looked like a blacksmith standing nearby, and a few low-quality backgrounds that were obviously textures.
【Linus the Blacksmith】
Wow, even the blacksmith has a name.
Isn't this painting style a bit too rough?
Even the game UI looks like the retro online games from the 1980s and 1990s , which is simply horrible.
I'm afraid that any random crappy online game released in the past two years would be many times better than this.
Old Song looked at Chen Lin with regret, "Actually...if you don't have any inspiration, we can buy it with money..."
Old Li next to him was even more straightforward. He said, "This design is really stupid. Mr. Chen, are you kidding us? What era is it now? Will anyone really play this kind of pixel-style horizontal 2D game?"
"I think it's okay." Chen Lin raised his head. "Don't you think this type of product has a big market? There's no one else doing it on the market right now."
“Is there a possibility that it’s because it doesn’t make money?”
Old Song doesn’t know how to complain anymore.
This is the game that was mentioned so awesomely before?
This game makes more money than some of their other games, but it’s already pretty good if it can just cover the labor costs.
Although I said before that I wanted to make a game with smaller investment.
But it doesn’t mean it has to be this small.
"This is just the initial version. The texture quality and character UI can be optimized and made more refined. That should be fine, right?" Chen Lin asked.
For a moment, the two fell into deep thought.
"We can do it. This kind of game is not that difficult for us right now."
"You're the boss, you do whatever you say, but let me make it clear that you can't blame us if you lose money."
Anyway, they didn't expect the first online game to make money.
It’s good to use this small game to explore the way forward. Even if you lose money, you won’t feel bad. At most, it’s just an investment failure.
"Don't worry, you just need to polish it according to the standards I give, and don't worry about anything else." Chen Lin said with a smile.
"Okay then, let's go and prepare. In addition to setting up a new team, we also need to purchase a lot of equipment. The preliminary work will probably take several days ."
With their current daily revenue, they can fully support a new online game operation team without having to worry about funding issues.
We briefly discussed team planning and personnel deployment.
Only then did Lao Song and Lao Li leave the office and return to their respective teams to start arranging work.
Suddenly the whole office area became bustling.
Especially after learning that the studio was going to set up an online game team, the employees were even more excited and asked what online game blockbuster would be produced next.
"Okay, work hard and don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!"
Old Song glared at those curious babies and left with an embarrassed expression.
He really didn't know how to talk about such a project.
It feels like... using an anti-aircraft gun to shoot a mosquito.
