What do you mean the games you make are all real?!

Chapter 89 The Shock Brought by Sekiro (4700)

The long-awaited 5 o'clock finally arrived. Battlefield 2 and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice were officially released at the same time, and servers on major gaming platforms around the world experienced the most intense surge in traffic since Resident Evil.

Liao Yunkai hesitated for a moment, but finally clicked on "Battlefield Vanguard 2".

Meanwhile, Captain Ao clicked into the Sekiro page without hesitation and started a live stream.

"Brothers, today I'm going to stream Miteng's new game for you!" Captain Ao excitedly announced to the live stream audience.

Just as he predicted, when he changed the title of his live stream to "Live Streaming Mi Teng's New Game," a large number of viewers flooded in instantly, along with a barrage of comments.

"MiTeng's efficiency is ridiculously fast; they released the trailer in the morning and it was published in the afternoon!"

"I hope it's a masterpiece like Resident Evil! I'm fed up with not having any good games to play lately; I'm sick of playing those reskinned annual games every day!"

"Hey upstairs, stop dreaming. Anything produced in such a short time is either a terrible mess or a half-finished product just trying to cash in on the trend. It probably won't even reach a tenth of the quality of Resident Evil."

"Why are you all so sure this game was developed by Miteng in just one month? That's impossible. It must have been completed beforehand but wasn't announced. Which big company doesn't start developing new games years in advance?"

"Come on. Although MiTeng hasn't disclosed the production costs and manpower and resources for Resident Evil, just looking at that 1:1 replica of the Raccoon City Police Department theme park in the suburbs, and considering other companies in the industry, it's impossible to make a game of this scale without consuming a huge amount of manpower and resources and spending several years polishing it. If MiTeng still has the spare capacity to make another game of the same scale at the same time under such circumstances, then MiTeng's output is so incredible that the entire game industry would have no chance to survive."

"Hurry up and start the live stream. If it's too bad, I'll have to switch to watching the Battlefield 2 live stream. I heard that the new tanks there can automatically reload, and there are jet fighters. The variety of vehicles alone is more than double that of the first game."

As more and more viewers poured into the live stream, the number of online viewers in the upper right corner jumped from 100,000 to 200,000, from 200,000 to 500,000, and continued to rise. Captain Ao's mouth was practically stretched to his ears with a grin.

However, at the same time, he also began to worry about the quality of the game. If the quality was ultimately poor, it was uncertain how many of the many viewers would stay.

He opened the game while praying that Mitten wouldn't mess things up.

Soon, an animation introducing the world's setting appeared. The fight scenes in the animation were very smooth, and Captain Ao's eyes widened as he watched the opening animation.

The animation was far superior to what he had expected. The visuals were so distinctive that every frame could be used as wallpaper, and the soundtrack was so intense and rousing that it was hard to believe it could have been rushed out in just one month.

"This—this scene is just too amazing—" Captain Ao couldn't help but exclaim during the live stream.

The live chat exploded instantly.

"Holy crap! The quality of this opening animation is even better than some big studio animated films!"

"Samurai swords! Ninjas! This art style is just perfect!"

"I was wrong. I was just saying this game was a piece of garbage that was rushed out. I'll shut my dog ​​mouth now."

"The animation is indeed good. I don't know which animation studio made it, but the most important thing is how the gameplay is. No matter how good the graphics are, if the gameplay is bad, it's just a pretty face."

As Captain Ao watched the opening animation, a great weight was lifted from his heart.

Based on the quality of this opening animation alone, even if the subsequent game content is only of average to above-average quality, the hype will definitely not be low. He can't wait to experience the gameplay for himself.

The opening animation ended quickly, and the scene shifted to the pain simulation adjustment interface. When Captain Ao clearly saw the range of the pain scale on the screen, he was stunned for a moment.

"The pain simulation can actually be adjusted to one percent this time?" His tone was filled with surprise.

It's worth noting that the minimum pain simulation in Resident Evil was locked at 5%, and many players complained about this setting at the time, saying that Metten deliberately set the lower limit of pain so high to make players suffer.

The new game has now lowered the minimum standard to one percent. Could it be that Miteng has had a change of heart and is trying to make the game less painful for players?

Having learned a painful lesson from the last Resident Evil movie where the 100% pain simulation landed him in the psychiatric ward, Captain Ao has very conscientiously lowered the pain simulation level to the lowest setting this time.

He didn't want his new game to be nerfed after only an hour or two, causing him immense pain, and then have to cry out for his mother in front of millions of viewers before ending the broadcast in humiliation.

However, after the pain level was adjusted, a new prompt appeared on the screen.

The higher the pain level, the more martial arts experience you gain.

"This uses pain simulation to directly link to skill upgrade experience points." Captain Ao saw the prompt, paused for a moment, and hovered above the confirm button without pressing it immediately.

The comments section erupted at this point.

"Holy crap! Miteng's design is so insidious! Using experience points to lure players into actively increasing their pain threshold? Isn't this blatantly saying that you have to suffer to get stronger?"

"But if I increase my pain threshold, wouldn't I just die from the pain if I get slashed? At least in Resident Evil, you can use a gun to keep your distance, but this wolf in the trailer is all about close-quarters knife fights. Doesn't that mean every single slash will land squarely on him?"

"Is this game some kind of revenge by Miteng? Resident Evil already scared me half to death, and now this new game is going to subject me to both physical and mental torture? Does Miteng's designer have some kind of masochistic tendency?"

"But thinking about it carefully, it does make a lot of sense. If you're afraid of pain, then fight slowly, improve your skills and avoid getting stabbed. In this process, you will definitely gain more martial arts experience. If you're not afraid of pain, then tough it out and fight the enemy head-on, using your body to exchange blood. You don't need too much martial arts experience to get through this."

"That sounds reasonable, but I don't believe you dare to push the pain level to the maximum!"

"Is this game even harder than Resident Evil?! No way!!"

After hesitating for a moment, Captain Ao still adjusted the pain simulation to 10%.

"Brothers, since Miteng dared to design it this way, I'll give it a try. Let's start with 10%. If it's not that difficult, we'll increase it a bit more."

After adjusting the pain simulation, Captain Ao controlled the protagonist wolf to wake up from the bottom of the dry well.

"The picture quality is as high as ever, it's on the same level as Resident Evil."

Captain Ao looked around at the environment, which, like the previous Resident Evil, was top-notch in terms of visual quality.

He then picked up the letter from the ground and began climbing toward the wellhead following the game's system guidance.

However, he soon realized the special nature of this game. He jumped more than two meters high and was very strong.

"Holy crap! Guys, you guys have to try this game! I feel like Superman right now!" Captain Ao climbed up the well in a few quick moves and shouted incredulously into the live stream.

Whether it's Resident Evil, Battlefield, or medieval adventure games, the characters controlled by players are still within the realm of ordinary people, relying on the weapons in their hands rather than the power of the characters themselves.

It's not that there aren't games that involve increasing a character's power, but in those games, the increase in power is mainly shown through the destruction of external objects, rather than the tangible feeling of possessing power like this.

Captain Ao was so excited that his whole body was trembling. No matter what the game's plot and levels were like, this one technology alone was enough to make this game go down in history.

This is a game that is even more groundbreaking than Resident Evil.

The viewers in the live stream were still somewhat skeptical of Captain Ao's excited demeanor.

"Superman? That's an exaggeration!"

"Captain Ao, tell the truth, did you take money from Mi Teng this time? How can you say something so outrageous?"

"A game that's more groundbreaking than Resident Evil? There's a limit to how much you can brag! Resident Evil is already the benchmark for virtual reality games, and you're telling me this game is even more groundbreaking?"

"A leopard can't change its spots; for a little money, it'll say anything!"

"How much did Miteng give you? I'll give you double!"

Seeing the insults directed at him on the screen, Captain Ao immediately became anxious: "Brothers, I swear on my entire streaming career, what I said is true! You really can feel yourself as light as a feather, like those martial arts masters in novels!"

But the viewers in the live chat still didn't believe him.

"Light as a feather? A martial arts master? Captain Ao, have you been reading too many martial arts novels?!"

"While I admit that Miteng's games are indeed of high quality, calling them 'light-footed kung fu masters' is a bit of an exaggeration!"

Captain Ao was really getting anxious. He was now genuinely regretting how badly he had ruined his reputation; no one believed him anymore when he spoke the truth.

"I'd be a dog if I lied to you!" Captain Ao shouted to the viewers in the live stream.

"If you don't believe me, download it and try it yourself! It's free to download! Your first life is free! Go experience it for yourself and see if what I'm saying is true!"

The number of questioning comments decreased slightly, but many people still remained hesitant.

"This game's monetization model is the same as Resident Evil, so it's definitely worth trying it out for free first."

"Okay, I'll try the next one. If it's not as amazing as you say, I'll come back and unfollow you."

"Aogou spoke with such certainty this time, it seems he might actually have some truth to it?"

"It's downloaded, please wait two minutes."

Captain Ao didn't continue arguing with the comments; he controlled his character to continue moving forward.

With that feeling of lightness and agility from before, he became much bolder, leaping over cliffs and scaling walls, each movement exuding a fluidity and lightness that would be impossible in reality.

"See that! See that!" Captain Ao shouted excitedly as he operated the controls.

"Invincible! This game is invincible! With such high mobility, I don't even know how the enemy is supposed to fight! I suspect that Miteng set the pain simulation to one percent because he was afraid we might accidentally fall off a cliff. Putting aside the later content, the current game experience completely crushes all other games on the market, even Resident Evil can't compare!"

Seeing Captain Ao's demeanor, the audience gradually began to believe his words.

"Holy crap—this game seems to be really good—"

"Brothers, I'm back! Captain Ao was right! You really can fly and scale walls in the game! You all have to try it!"

"What?! The intelligence was actually true?! Aogu wasn't lying this time?! Has the sun risen in the west?!"

Seeing the changed attitude of the comments, Captain Ao suddenly became smug and straightened his back a bit, but he still quickly said, "Everyone, go play later. I'll scout ahead for you first."

If all these viewers go to play games and no one watches his live stream, he'll really be devastated.

The viewers in the live stream didn't leave immediately after hearing this. After all, although Captain Ao's skills weren't great, his mouth and exaggerated reactions were definitely a perfect accompaniment to watching the game.

Furthermore, they were very interested in the upcoming plot and battles of Sekiro, staying in the live stream to watch Captain Ao explore and discuss, which was much more interesting than playing it alone.

Captain Ao refocused his attention on the game, controlling the protagonist to walk along the base of the wall. The game's system guidance appeared appropriately near the wall, suggesting that he could sneak along the wall or hide in the grass.

"The stealth system in this game is very sophisticated. It seems to be an assassination game. However, we don't have any weapons yet. Let's follow the storyline first, get the weapons, and then come back to deal with these grunts."

Captain Ao crouched behind a clump of waist-high withered grass, looking at the two samurai with their backs to him, and spoke in a low voice to the live stream.

Following the system prompts, he controlled the wolf to climb and leap all the way, and soon arrived at the Moon Gazing Tower. In the moonlit room on the second floor, he saw the divine child Hirata Kuro sitting by the window, and then, as instructed by the system, he knelt down on one knee to greet him.

However, the comments section took a sudden turn after people saw the goddess in the video.

"Wow! What an adorable little girl! So, is the next part of the story about protecting this little girl and escaping Ashina Castle?"

"Miten really knows how to play the mature woman; both Sherry before and now the Divine Child were pretty good, hehehehe————"

"Are the people upstairs eating peanuts until they're full, or are they trying to be fed by the electric fence?"

"Hey guys, something's not right. I feel like this is a cute little boy, not a little girl. Look closely, the features and proportions of the goddess's face look like a boy's, don't they?"

"Lolis are nice, shota are nice too."

At this moment, Captain Ao had already obtained the Wedge Pill and the Healing Gourd, and said to the live broadcast room, "Now that we have the weapons, we need to find a way out for the Divine Child."

After saying that, he opened the door and went out, where he saw the samurai guarding the outside.

Captain Ao crouched down and crept forward stealthily. Then, looking at the red dot on the samurai's body, he stabbed it directly into the dot.

"This stealth kill felt amazing, it was so satisfying!" Captain Ao couldn't help but praise it again in the live stream.

The reaction from the comments was much more enthusiastic than he had expected.

"This assassination was so satisfying!"

"When she covered my mouth from behind just now, I instinctively held my breath in front of the screen."

"Stealth and assassination, that's perfect, I like it."

Just then, another samurai was drawn by the commotion. He hadn't yet noticed the corpse on the ground and was slowly walking down the corridor.

Captain Ao was brimming with confidence after his successful stealth kill. He stood up straight and instead of crouching down to sneak again, he walked confidently toward the samurai.

"Brothers, we don't really need to resort to sneaky assassinations every time. Didn't the system say before that head-on sword fighting is a core gameplay element? I think with my skills just now, I could just go straight for it." He said confidently as he controlled his character to charge towards the samurai with his sword raised.

But before he could even swing his sword once, the samurai's katana had already slashed at him three or four times.

Captain Ao didn't even have time to complete the motion of swinging his knife before he collapsed softly to the ground. Then the screen slowly went dark, leaving only a large, blood-red character for "death" in the center.

Captain Ao was stunned. He was dead just like that? He didn't even have time to swing his first knife?

After a brief silence, the comments section erupted in laughter.

"Hahahaha! He just said he'd just hack and slash and he'd die! That's arrogant confidence!"

"Who just called himself Superman? The Superman who got killed in three hits by a mere soldier?"

Captain Ao's face flushed red, and he hurriedly explained in the live chat, "That was an accident! I didn't perform well! The controls in this game are different from anything I've played before; I need time to get used to them! I'll definitely be fine if I try again!"

He explained as he spent money to revive himself, then stood before the samurai once more.

Two minutes later, the blood-red word "death" reappeared on his screen.

"Again!"
