Chapter 46: Slap in the Face
"Three minutes to kill a Devil May Cry? And with a sledgehammer? That's impossible!"
When Lao E saw the trial video popping up on the homepage, his first reaction was disbelief.
Not to mention the audience in the live broadcast room.
They had all seen with their own eyes how brutal the monster was. It was simply impossible for a human to defeat it.
"I want to see how he brags."
With the idea of exposing the lie, Lao E directly clicked on the video and chose to play it.
The next second, a familiar scene appeared.
It was the same hunting mission he had just failed in, and the character was also using a sledgehammer weapon.
After arriving at the jungle area, they went straight to the area where the Tyrannosaurus Rex was without even looking at the supply warehouse.
"Not even taking supplies?"
"This is too reckless."
"Can he still hunt without getting hurt?"
"I'm afraid he's in a hurry to be reincarnated!"
There was a lot of discussion in the comments, and some even showed disdainful expressions.
As they watched, the character soon came to the bottom of the hill and encountered the dreaded loofah dragon.
“Here it comes!”
Everyone, including Old E, felt a tightness in their hearts, and couldn't help but recall the fear of being dominated just now.
But the character in the video seemed to be in a hurry to die, and continued running straight towards the hillside.
When it was halfway through the run, the Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly turned around, dropped the prey in front of it and rushed straight forward.
Even through the screen, one can feel the brutal and boundless sense of oppression, which makes people subconsciously hold their breath.
However.
It was beyond their expectation.
When the two sides were still hundreds of meters apart, the guy actually swung up the sledgehammer and smashed it heavily to the ground.
"???"
"What's going on?"
"It's so far away, you're just hitting the air."
"Could it be that you were scared and pressed the wrong button?"
"Haha, I guess so. I said this guy is unreliable."
"Sure enough, another one trying to attract attention."
The audience shook their heads helplessly, looking extremely disappointed.
But just when Lao E was about to close the video, a strange scene happened.
The sledgehammer hit the third time and suddenly swung upward with all his might, hitting the head of the Tyrannosaurus Rex that had just rushed over with a "bang", knocking its huge body back.
It looked as if it had come here deliberately to take this heavy blow.
WTF?
What is going on?
Did the Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly change its nature?
Everyone in the live broadcast room was stunned, looking at this scene in confusion, and watching the Tyrannosaurus Rex take several steps back.
And just as they were stunned.
The man began to accumulate strength again and slid down the slope directly.
Then, in their shocked gazes, he spun around and jumped with the hammer, turning into an invincible Hot Wheels in the air.
The huge force driven by inertia attached to the hammer body, slamming into the Tyrannosaurus Rex's head with a bang, causing a series of intensive damage.
Before he could stand firmly , the man stepped on the stone pillar next to him and jumped up suddenly, then used the rotating hammer to lock the opponent's head accurately.
After several rounds of attacks, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was knocked down and began to struggle desperately on the ground.
"hiss!!"
"How did he do that?"
"Precise lock, the timing is amazing!"
"What's that spinning jump called? It was so cool!"
"The sloped terrain can actually be used!"
“Can this game be played like this?”
At this moment, the entire live broadcast room was boiling.
I never expected the game to be played this way.
The originally ferocious and brutal Tyrannosaurus Rex had no power to resist under the precise headlock of hammer after hammer, and was pinned to the ground almost the entire time.
After dozens of battles, the Tyrannosaurus Rex finally died, and a prompt popped up indicating that the hunt was successful.
Looking at the clearance time below, it is exactly 3 minutes and 17 seconds.
Take the damage, zero injury!
Old E fell silent after seeing this scene.
The audience in the live broadcast room also fell silent.
Looking back on my silly and critical remarks at the beginning, I was simply a clown.
This game isn’t difficult at all, it’s just that they don’t know how to play it!
He even went to the backstage to send a private message to the official. It's really embarrassing.
I clicked on the comments section and took a look, and the style of the painting has indeed changed.
"Fuck! This video is amazing. I didn't know you could play with a sledgehammer like this."
"It's so funny, a bunch of people are here to find a bug in the game, and then they get slapped in the face."
"666, even palace fighting dramas are not this exciting."
"That's too cruel. The Deinocrat Rex has only stood up a few times. Are we really playing the same game?"
"I apologize for what I said just now. I'm so naive!"
"If you're new, practice more. Don't always blame the game for being difficult."
I have to say that the timing of this speed run video was really accurate, as it was released just when the players had experienced the game.
The game became popular immediately.
Many people have discovered the traffic password and have begun to challenge themselves to speed through and clear various monsters without taking any damage, preparing to post them online to show off.
Ordinary players enjoy carrying out various hunting missions and immersing themselves in this exciting and grand adventure world.
Players with a collecting habit have also found their own fun by collecting some precious monster materials to create equipment.
Then they gradually discovered.
The variety of monsters in this game is staggering.
Crustacean species, toothed beast species, bird dragon species, flying dragon species, ichthyosaur species, toothed beast species, beast dragon species, ancient dragon species...
Each category has monsters with different habits, different living environments, and different body structures and attack methods.
For example, the most well-known Tyrannosaurus Rex at present.
It is named after gluttony.
Because its huge body consumes a lot of energy, it is hungry all the time and needs to keep eating to maintain life.
That's why it's so aggressive.
Sometimes, due to excessive hunger, they would even break into the territories of other large monsters to hunt.
Wherever it went, life became extinct.
The more scars on its body, the stronger the Tyrannosaurus Rex is.
Understanding the habits of these monsters is also a process of finding ways to deal with them, which makes many players marvel at the rich settings.
They also began to promote the game spontaneously.
Coupled with the explosive live broadcast effect, all kinds of cat cars were used to deliver kills.
Finally, the game became famous and spread to most of the gaming community overnight.
…
"Tell me what's going on!"
Bang!
A loud bang sounded in the office of Huanhai headquarters.
Zeng Fuming's eyes were blazing with fire as he looked at the data handed over by the employees.
One night, sales didn't even reach 30% of what they had initially expected.
Keep going at this rate.
Not to mention making money, not losing money is considered good enough!
"Boss...Manager, I think it's because of too much competition. Players are being divided too much, and the retention rate has not been able to improve."
An employee said cautiously.
"Also, I heard that Steam has released a very popular game called Monster Hunter. Almost half of all adventure gamers have gone there..."
"Monster Hunter? What kind of game is this?"
Zeng Fuming frowned and looked at the employee.
"Yes... It's a game made by the Honghuang Studio that won first place at our exhibition before..."
"It's them again?" Zeng Fuming's expression became more and more ugly.
You tell him that a game with a 50 million investment actually lost to a game produced by a small studio?
"Smash it! Increase the publicity efforts. I don't believe that our game can't be better than that of a mere studio!"
Now is the critical moment to seize the market.
No matter what the cost, they, Huan Hai, must take the lead.
Otherwise, once the real domestic capital takes action, they will no longer have a chance!
