The game has started, there are absolutely no bugs this time

Chapter 69 The Great Hero

...'I didn't know you were skating.'

"Boss Gu only ordered this game for 198. He really treats us like brothers. What's wrong with brothers joking around?"

"That's right, the Dragon King might be worried that we'd die from searching for checkpoints all the time, so he's concerned about our health and let us rest early."

'He really is crying my heart out'

"When we're not so crazy anymore, it's normal for him to say there's another ending."

I think too highly of Gu Meng, but to some extent, there is nothing wrong with that.

Gu Meng felt at the time that the true ending was for the greatest hero to sacrifice himself, so as not to waste the players' time, so he responded positively.

Don't look for it anymore, it's a waste of effort.

Go to bed early and be careful not to die suddenly.

If he had known earlier that Brother Tongzi had hidden something, he would definitely have followed Youke's example and not responded to the ending.

After the Gaming Star Awards, the pure fans had completely become Gu Meng's die-hard fans and spoke again:

"Yes, I don't think this is disrespectful to the players. Mr. Gu has his own ideas."

"Rather than the Dragon King just wanting to tease us, I believe Mr. Gu did this to give better game feedback to those players who don't give up."

"What do you mean?"

'Why do you think so, Mr. Pure Fan?'

The pure fan did not rush to reply, and said slowly:
"Let me first share my opinion. The core gameplay of this game is combat, and its spiritual core is martial arts. There should be no controversy about this, right?"

'No problem'

'Isn't this natural?'

"Martial arts can actually be divided into two aspects: martial arts and chivalry."

"In the later stages of the game, the martial arts aspect is actually more reflected in dungeons. Those places that do not restrict the player's extraordinary strength have reached the extreme. The heroes use martial arts to break the rules. With that kind of extreme martial arts, there are no constraints at all."

"Many people say that martial arts is declining, because most of its market share has been taken away by fairy tales, fantasy and historical themes."

Some people are puzzled: "What do you mean? People who read martial arts novels now tend to read fairy tales because the upper limit of fairy tales is higher. There is nothing wrong with this. Why does history also divide the audience of martial arts novels?"

"Let's take them one by one, starting with Xianxia."

"Xianxia and Xuanhuan have raised the threshold of traditional martial arts in terms of ability and fantasy."

"The traditional martial arts acupressure, sword energy, and various imaginary magical skills are eye-opening for the audience."

"Xianxia is about flying, escaping the earth, achieving immortality, and opening the gates of heaven with a single sword strike. At a different level, those high-level martial arts can hardly be considered traditional martial arts."

"It's like the dungeon world in Heroes of the Storm. In the later stages, the protagonists are no longer human, but more like gods, martial gods."

"What we want to express here is the ultimate in martial arts, and it also shows us the ultimate battle to the greatest extent."

"However, ordinary people at that level will gradually lose the joy of fighting, and the degree of trusteeship will become increasingly greater. This may also hint at the alienation of power after it becomes inhuman."

"For example, when players compete against each other, they will limit each other's destructive power and speed, keeping the competition within the human range."

"There should be more profound meaning in this, we will talk about it later."

"The other side of martial arts is chivalry."

"Apart from the martial arts aspect, what is the concept of chivalry?"

"Did the knights-errant of the pre-Qin and even Han dynasties establish a united front, wield authority, and establish personal connections? These earliest knights-errant, as we see them now, are not truly great heroes."

"Is Mo Xia a hero? Of course he is. If he is a Mo Xia with the ideal of saving the world, he can even be called a great hero."

"Is the host talking about Tian Xing Jiu Ge?"

"Are you talking about Qin's Moon?"

"The Mohist Knight-errant is not a Qin Dynasty concept. In fact, Lu Xun said that Confucius' disciples are Confucianists, and Mozi's disciples are knight-errant."

'Don't fool me, Lu Xun definitely never said this'

'Lu Xun: No, no, no, I really said something similar'

"But those definitions are too far-fetched. The kind of knight-errant that the mainstream recognizes nowadays doesn't matter how high or low their martial arts skills are. As long as they are brave enough to do what is right and sacrifice themselves to help others, they are considered the heroes that ordinary people tend to praise."

"They are on the right path. Regardless of their abilities or martial arts prowess, anyone who chooses to conceal evil and promote good and save others is a hero. Even if they are killed by a powerful villain on the way, they are still heroes."

"That's right, even if you have low martial arts skills, you can still be a hero."

'The spirit of chivalry lies in courage and justice'

"In both Heroes of the Storm, the God of Justice is one of the strongest and easiest to grasp martial arts spirits. As long as the protagonist constantly does good deeds, he can obtain it. It is the most basic and profound martial arts skill of a hero."

Pure pink nodded: "Well said."

"The greatest heroes serve their country and their people with a righteous heart."

"A patriotic hero like Guo from The Legend of the Condor Heroes is subtly higher than the average chivalrous warrior. He is undoubtedly a true hero, or even a great hero. This is also what we can feel in the true ending line."

"When you choose to burn everything for the people, that feeling is unforgettable."

"In normal martial arts novels and dramas, this is the highest chivalrous spirit."

"But given the historical and political education we modern Chinese have received, we are no longer satisfied with this."

"That's why I said historical themes are also a superior alternative to martial arts themes."

"Previous martial arts themes were limited by the times, and he rarely changed the historical trend. Even in time-travel works, such as "A Step into the Past," he would maintain the development of history."

"It's different now. We now have a lot of works that are based on fictional history or change dynasties in real history."

"Part of the reason for this is the strong demand from our readers, viewers, and players."

"To put it in a more profound way, we already know the root of that social problem. How can those who have seen the light endure the darkness?"

"We won't just be content with mediocrity. We will try to change. Who else but us?"

"To put it bluntly, our threshold has already been raised in these works, and we need stronger stimulation."

"When you put yourself in the shoes of the protagonist, whether you are a time traveler or a local, you see injustice in a historical context and want to stand up for what is right; when you see war and chaos, you want peace in the world."

"If it's a prosperous era, it's fine. The protagonist might not necessarily become a wealthy man. It doesn't matter."

"If the world is not fair... to use a popular saying in the fiction world, wearing Qing clothes is not rebelling, and wearing an electric drill is like wearing an anus."

"As for those themes after the late Qing Dynasty, even at the risk of historical nihilism, there will still be groups of people who constantly want to kill the Eight-Nation Alliance and directly destroy Japan. This is the simple wish of the Chinese 'heroes'."

"After seeing too many ordinary rebellions, the threshold is higher. I may even want to take the revolutionary route and become the 'Ultimate Hero', to truly explore a path that may save the world in ancient times or in another world."

"I think, broadly speaking, many ancient sages and predecessors who devoted themselves to saving the people can perhaps be considered heroes. As long as they are on the path of salvation and achieve spiritual resonance with Mozi, how can they not be heroes?"

"I believe Mr. Gu also thought so when he participated in the 'Greatest Hero' competition."
