Chapter 44 You and I are both in the food chain
"Monster Hunter" is about to be released!
After hearing the news, all the players who watched the live trial were excited.
In just half an hour, a large number of comments emerged under the game announcement of Honghuang Studio.
"Ahhh! Is it finally going to be released!?"
"Great, I can't wait."
"It's finally here. I wasn't satisfied watching the live demo before. If you dare to release it, I will buy it!"
"All the new games released these days are battlefield shooting games. There is nothing new. I am really sick of it."
"How brave! They released it together with other big brands."
"Open the door! My sword is thirsty."
…
Players did not expect that "Monster Hunter" would be released so soon, and that it would collide with major manufacturers.
After all, there are only so many games one person can play at one time.
If you want to attract more players, you have to compete with big companies and steal their talent.
The risks of doing so are very high.
If you are not careful, you may even end up being a runner-up.
Naturally, this also caused concern among many players, who were afraid that they would die suddenly in the middle of the game.
"Running with him? Not happening."
In the live broadcast room, Old E looked at the comments below and sneered.
The audience in the live broadcast room ignored him and urged him to download the game quickly.
Seeing that there were only ten minutes left until twelve o'clock, Lao E stopped playing games from those big manufacturers and went directly to the Steam platform and clicked on the game homepage of "Monster Hunter".
When he saw the selling price of 188, he bought it without blinking and started downloading.
"I bet 50 cents that the anchor will need at least three attempts to defeat the unicorn."
"Three times? You underestimate me, Big Brother Yijiao. It must be at least six times!"
"This is probably the only company that makes a newbie boss this perverted."
"That's right. I still get goose bumps when I think about it now."
“The sense of oppression is too strong!”
Although the live trial lasted only three hours, the shock it brought to them was indelible.
Even now, many people still talk about it with relish.
soon.
The game was downloaded and the clock struck twelve.
Old E controlled the mouse and keyboard, couldn't wait to open the game and enter the familiar character creation interface.
"As for weapons, I have to choose the most powerful one, so I'll have to choose a sledgehammer."
Long before entering the game , Lao E had already decided what weapon he wanted to play.
After a series of operations, I entered the cutscene smoothly, went through the guidance very skillfully, and started the first novice mission.
The time spent in total was less than half of what Ouyang Xiao had originally taken.
"That's it. I can get through with one hand."
Old E said this with a cocky look on his face, almost as if "awesome" was written all over his face.
But what was greeted was a chorus of boos from the barrage of comments.
It’s just that I read the guide in advance, you have the nerve to show off here.
"Don't believe it? Then I'll show you my true strength!"
After connecting the main line, Lao E left the camp directly and came to the desert area where the mission was located. He immediately encountered two red speed dragons running towards him.
Without saying a word, he rushed forward and swung the sledgehammer in his hand.
With a loud bang, the huge force blasted the two red speed dragons away, and they fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
"Oh my god! This weapon hits so hard!"
Old E's eyes suddenly widened.
Just at the moment when the sledgehammer hit Red Speed Dragon's head, he could feel a distinct sense of stagnation.
Then the accumulated power exploded, blasting the Red Speed Dragon away with powerful inertia. The whole process was like really hitting someone with a hammer, which was extremely refreshing.
This is the first time he has seen such an excellent physics engine!
"Not bad, not bad. From now on, the sledgehammer will be my lifelong weapon."
With the help of powerful weapons and the experience of watching the trial version before, Lao E can be said to be able to kill gods and Buddhas who stand in his way.
In just two hours, he caught up with Ouyang Xiao and arrived at the swamp jungle where he encountered the poisonous bird.
Even the poisonous bird could not stop him. He was successfully killed after only three rides of the cat car, and died in the northwest.
"It's over, it's over. This guy has found the trick."
"Could the host really be Yu-Gi-Oh?"
"Wrong! The strong one is not the anchor, but the hammer."
"Indeed, sledgehammer yyds!"
"When I play, I will also choose a sledgehammer as my weapon!"
Along the way, the performance of the sledgehammer weapon really amazed the audience.
Not only does it have an excellent striking feel, but its attack is also higher than that of a katana.
The poisonous bird that had forced Ouyang Xiao to be helpless before was almost always pinned to the ground by Old E, without even being given a chance to get up.
"I told you, this game isn't that difficult, you just have to master the tricks."
At this time, Old E's self-confidence had reached its peak.
His face was flushed with rosy glow, and he was completely different from when he was playing those big-name games just now.
…
"Chen Lin, is the difficulty we set too low?"
Inside the Honghuang studio.
Chen Lin and Lao Song were also paying attention to the market response of the game and accidentally clicked into Lao E’s live broadcast room.
Lao Song had never expected that the players would be so strong that they had completed the game in such a short time.
He thought it was too difficult at first.
"Don't worry, these are just appetizers."
Chen Lin smiled mysteriously and didn't say much.
In order to cater to the local market, he made some changes to the order in which the monsters appeared, and also left some "surprises" for the players .
So I'm not worried that players will find it too easy.
And just as they were talking.
Old E, who had completed the task of defeating the poisonous bird, had also obtained the last medicinal material to treat his teammates and rushed back to the temporary camp.
After some rest.
They followed the guide through the jungle and finally came to a huge hunter camp.
"We're here! We've finally reached the main city!"
"Is this the main city of the game?"
“So many buildings I’ve never seen before!”
Unlock new scenes and the barrage of comments instantly becomes agitated.
Old E ran around the main city to check out the newly unlocked functions.
What attracted him the most was the rich array of weapons and monster sets in the blacksmith shop, which required hunting corresponding monsters to obtain materials before they could be forged.
See the attributes of those gorgeous suits.
He felt that the initial equipment given to him was no longer useful.
"As an old hunter, how can I not have a set of equipment made by myself?"
Old E immediately changed his mind and went to the bulletin board outside to accept a hunting mission, preparing to build a set of equipment before continuing on his journey.
Because when he was hunting the poisonous bird just now, he could clearly feel some fatigue and had to change into a new set.
"Huh? This is a good mission."
Suddenly, he noticed a bounty on the bulletin board with a very high reward.
[Hunting Mission: You and I are both part of the food chain (Tyrannosaurus Rex)]
[Danger Level: 6 stars (high)]
[Reward: 14440 gold]
[Condition: Hunter level 10 or above]
[Time limit: 50 minutes]
[Failure conditions: time limit expires, collapses 3 times due to exhaustion]
…
"Haha, it's only a 6-star difficulty. This mission is a free one."
After reading the task introduction, Old E smiled.
The poisonous bird that he pinned to the ground and beat before was a 3-star one. Even if it was a 6-star one, how difficult could it be?
Without hesitation, he took the task and quickly rushed to the target location.
