Build a game empire from scratch

Perhaps the only good news is that the development team returned the props destroyed by the miasma.

All the martial arts that had been washed away returned to the character panel.

But other than that, there's really nothing left.

A Yi had to board the airship and fly to Luoyang again.

When he stood in front of Yan Gaoqing's statue again and pulled out the [Dragon Yuan Sword], Super Tomato had already achieved five consecutive kneelings.

The good news is: he feels that he has figured out the boss' moves.

After all, it is a novice boss, and the moves are actually very simple——

It is the three axes.

Swish two axes, followed by a jump.

If you can dodge all of them, the BOSS will take the initiative to jump back and adjust the rhythm by opening the distance.

Then come two axes and a jump chop.

Unpretentious.

The only exception is: if you stick too close to him, you will be kicked fiercely by the boss and sent flying.

After Super Tomato summed up his experience, he felt that he would already be able to fight this boss——

Keep the center of gravity of the body, try to move in a small range to avoid the first two axes, and then use a large range of movement to avoid the jumping chop.

Follow up when the boss retreats back, give the boss a sword from the side or back, and then evacuate immediately.

Then repeat the first step, and the infinite loop is fine.

It seems that simple.

The only problem is: his brain does it, but his body doesn't.

Obviously it's just those three tricks, but he just can't dodge it!

——Even if you dodge one round, you can't dodge the second or third round...

After Super Tomato was hacked to death again and again, he deeply realized the suppressing power of long weapons on short weapons!

In the absence of skill blessing, accidentally miscalculating the attack range and slashing trajectory of the boss.

And the price of misjudgment is often sudden death!

After all, being hit is hard and straight, and the current blood bar means that two axes must die, and the time window for dodging in the middle is really short and scary.

Things finally changed when the Super Tomato was reborn again——

A line of words appeared under his feet:

[Shield against friend Shield against]

Seeing this line, Super Tomato suddenly remembered something: Most of Yunmeng's previous games had [Dynamic Difficulty] option.

As long as this option is turned on, the system will automatically reduce the difficulty if you get stuck in the same place continuously, so as to prevent players from getting stuck in the same place continuously. This is a caring measure to ensure the game experience of light players.

——Of course, hardcore players have always dismissed this.

Super Tomatoes are not hardcore, so this option is enabled.

This is, the system prompt is coming?

Super Tomato was shocked.

But...why is there no punctuation? He frowned slightly, Dun against friends? What does this mean?

He took off the completely decorative pot cover from his back, and looked at the three words [Keshiunfan] in the equipment description again.

He is very unfamiliar with the word shield counter.

In my vague memory, the last time I heard this word was during the hunting activities on [Dinosaur Island].

But at that time, he was not interested in shields either, and had been playing with big swords all the time.

After the event, he didn't go back to play much, so he really didn't have any idea.

——It’s not that he likes the new and dislikes the old, it’s because the anchor’s professional status is placed here, and he must always follow the new games and hot spots that Yunmeng keeps launching.

For most anchors, apart from the new game just launched by Yunmeng, they can only take care of one or two top games at the same time.

The same goes for Super Tomatoes.

It's just unfortunate that the hunting method is not his favorite.

As a comparison, when he was still suffering over and over again, there were already big bosses who often hang out in [Hunting Island] holding the pot cover, and after only testing the boss skills for two rounds, he was able to counterattack perfectly all the way, and easily pushed the boss into the second stage .

It was only when the difficulty of shield counterattack in the second stage was greatly increased that it was delayed.

——But once you get used to the rhythm, you won't be troubled for too long.

Super Tomato has always listened to persuasion. After seeing this reminder, it immediately stopped and went to watch the highlight highlights of a big guy's shield.

After watching the video, he nodded: I understand.

As long as you wave the shield to block the boss at the moment when the boss cuts you, you can bounce off the boss's attack, and the boss will still be stiff for a moment, so you can attack, right?

I totally get it.

Super Tomato started the battle again with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.

This time, when the boss swung a huge ax at him, he didn't dodge, but stared at the boss' attack with all his attention.

Without the need to dodge, he could clearly see the BOSS swinging his arms!

The ax swung a cold light!

Super Tomatoes swipe the lid hard too!

brush!

The boss slashed Super Tomato's chest with an axe, and the blood burst out instantly.

null!

The shield, which was a beat slower, patted the air, making a unique sound effect specially tuned by Lin You.

The boss followed Yixue and emptied his blood volume.

The familiar black and white world.

The familiar 【Death】.

Slow down, hurry up next time. Super Tomato is extremely resistant to stress.

[Super Tomato VS Yan Gaoqing, seven battles]

null!

brush!

puff!

The shield slapped faster, and it only bounced off the air. At the same time, it opened the door for him to be smashed in the chest by an axe.

Boss pursued proficiently, Super Tomato dodged embarrassingly, but the ending remained unchanged.

Still [die]!

This time it was fast, next time it will be slower.

[Super Tomato VS Yan Gaoqing, the eighth battle]

brush!

null!

【die】!

Slow again, hurry up next time.

...

Still slow.

...

Slow again!

...

It's fast again this time...

...

Super Tomato is stuck in an infinite loop of shield counter hell.

The good news, though: It's not his own hell.

The closed beta started for a full hour, and only six people quickly got used to the completely different fighting rhythm from before, overthrew the boss, and pushed open the gate of Luoyang City, which had turned into a demon realm.

The remaining 2994 people are all suffering crazily.

Under the meticulous teaching of the BOSS, practice shield and counterattack hard.

Even Lin Shun, who was extremely talented, was stopped outside the door.

Ultimately, he still couldn't get used to this fighting rhythm all of a sudden.

After the miasma enters the body, the player's feeling is not from a master to an ordinary person, but from a master to a useless person.

The flexibility is greatly reduced, and the battle logic is completely different.

It's no longer the old fight fast - because players rely on themselves, it's hard to react, and it's wishful thinking to fight head-to-head with the boss.

The logic of the battle has become seeing the tricks and breaking the tricks——

The attack logic and attack actions of the boss are limited. What players need to do is to be familiar with all the logic and actions of the boss until they can make a certain degree of prediction and then make a reasonable response.

Just like Wu Di, because of his years of combat experience, he accepted this kind of battle logic very quickly, successfully overthrew the boss, and became one of the six people who pushed open the city gate.

And Super Tomato only mastered the ability not to be chased to death after being hacked, but to find a gap to drink medicine after an hour and a half of the test.

After two hours, the success probability of shield counterattack began to increase significantly.

Two and a half hours later, he finally succeeded in draining the last trace of the boss' blood before drinking all the wine.

But just as he raised his arms high, before he had time to cheer, a large mass of black and red pus suddenly burst out from the BOSS's chest!

It looked like a liquid miasma, completely submerging the general's upper body.

Is this... an animation of beheading?

Super Tomato watched this scene in surprise.

But in just two breaths, the black-red pus solidified, turning into a ferocious, evil, unknown creature with a huge mouth, and then bit the super tomato!

Super Tomato waved his shield subconsciously, but——

null!

After the BOSS transformed, the battle rhythm changed again.

The difficulty of shield counter has increased again!

Super Tomatoes are caught in another round of suffering...

Fortunately, the previous experience was not wasted. After the transformation of the boss, the attack range became larger, the desire to attack became stronger, and the difficulty of shield countering increased. There was no new attack logic.

So forty minutes later, Super Tomato finally succeeded in knocking down the transformed boss.

This time, he raised his sword and stared at the boss's corpse, always on guard against the boss's fraudulent corpse.

And the boss really cheated again!

The corpse began to tremble, and the solidified miasma and pus flowed again, and began to devour the still intact lower body of the boss.

No way... three stages?

This is the first monster?! Is it so outrageous!?

Can this game still be played?

The moment Super Tomato had the idea of ​​retreating, the [Long Yuan Sword Mark] on his right hand suddenly burst into silvery white light!

The light flowed into his hand from the back of his hand like running water.

The Murakami sword that was originally held in his hand was bounced away, and the Ryuuan sword burning with silver flames was held in his hand.

At this moment, he suddenly understood the meaning of the system introduction [Longyuan Sword]——

[Cut off undead]!

So he raised the Longyuan Sword, and pierced the corpse that had completely lost its human shape!

Then--

The fire of silver is burning blazingly! The solidified pus was instantly ignited!

The body of the boss, which was attacked and corrupted by the miasma, was quickly burned to the ground in the silver fire, turning into a cloud of ashes and scattered with the wind.

Only a wristband, a giant axe, and a ball of pure white light remained on the spot.

In a gray and gloomy environment, the light is so eye-catching.

Super Tomato also immediately picked up this light——

——

【Purified soul core · Yan Gaoqing】

[Soul]/[Currency]/[Consumables]

The pure soul core purified by the fire of the sword fairy.

It can be used as a currency for trading with NPCs, or it can be crushed and turned into consumables for improving attributes.

——Or, use the fire of the sword fairy to burn it up, so that the soul can be freed.

——

After reading the system introduction, Super Tomato immediately frowned——

Eat other people's souls to strengthen yourself? Is it so evil?

But I fought for more than three hours, so I can't just cremate him and release him?

And if you don't need it, what if you can't beat it later?

Smart people are always prone to cranky thinking, and this is the case with Super Tomatoes at the moment:

Wait, using and not using it will lead to different game endings, right?

Being an evil hero who saves the world, or being a good guy and watching the world go to ruin...

Is Yunmeng planning to play this kind of philosophical speculation?

...

Super Tomatoes are tough to decide.

In the end, I had no choice but to put away the soul core first, then picked up the wrist guard and giant ax on the ground, and looked at the system instructions one by one——

——

【Wrist of Lux】

[Protect]/[Container]/[Wrist]

Can be equipped

Improved grip, +3 damage, immune to disarm.

The powerful wrist can even allow you to block the attacks of heavy weapons!

Wearing wrist guards, you can use [Block] and [Blade Counter].

It contains six storage spaces for weapons, which can be used to switch weapons in non-combat state.

(It's powerful, no doubt about it, but choose your tactics carefully.)——

【Giant Ax of Rage】

[Weapon]/[Hands]

Can be equipped

Damage +15

Weight is your burden, but it is also your weapon!

(This weapon once belonged to a fierce general. Not long ago, he followed his furious master to escape from the siege of hundreds of people, but in the end, he failed to escape the erosion of demonic energy. At the last moment, the general killed himself His body and soul turned into the scabbard of [Ryongyeon], standing outside the city gate, waiting for the arrival of the savior.)——

Super Tomato put on the wristband without saying a word, and then stared at the description of the giant ax for a long time.

So Yan Gaoqing didn't die after scolding An Lushan?

Or... history has been changed. After An Lushan was severely injured in Chang'an, he had no intention of talking to him. He didn't see An Lushan at all, and found an opportunity to kill him out of prison. Then... met Xinxin ?”

Can you explain a little more clearly!!

This kind of secretive description made Super Tomato itch all over, and he wished to call Lin You immediately to ask for clarification.

After several deep breaths, he calmed down, walked to the closed city gate, and began to push the door.

This time, the city gate finally stopped moving, but was pushed open inch by inch amidst heavy rumbling sounds!

Until—the hole burst open!

The Tianjie Avenue, which runs through the entire city and leads directly to the imperial city, unfolds before his eyes in an instant!

Even though Super Tomato has always been rational, he couldn't help feeling overwhelmed at this moment——

God Capital! Your savior is here!!

At this moment, he felt a strong sense of accomplishment!

After more than three hours of hard work, he finally successfully defeated the boss and obtained the qualification to enter the city!

He strode into the open city gate and was about to step onto Tianjie Avenue!

But without warning—

Boom!

A huge mallet suddenly smashed hard on his head from behind!

The blood bar was instantly deducted by one-third, and at the same time fell into a dizzy state for 1 second.

Super Tomato's brain was short-circuited for 1 second. After waking up, he didn't realize what happened, but turned around hastily to look over.

——and was hit hard in the face by the second stick!

Another third of the blood was deducted, and at the same time fell into a stun state for 0.75 seconds.

After waking up this time, he quickly raised the giant ax to try to block it—the giant ax is a two-handed weapon, and he cannot hold a shield, so he can only block it with an axe.

But the giant ax is too heavy, lifting it is like lifting weights, and when it is hit by a big mallet, it falls directly.

So he was hit on the head with a mallet again...

Then, he saw the word again——

【die】!

...

After being resurrected, Super Tomato stood in front of the city gate, speechless for a long time.

Why are there monsters hidden behind the door?

He also deliberately used the spectacular sky street to attract his attention, creating opportunities for mobs to attack...

Is it necessary to be so shameless? ? !

is it necessary? ! !
