You promised it would be a free game, but now your screen is full of in-app purchase prompts?

[Didn't Teacher Piao's first recharge gift pack include a Heavenly Thunder Talisman? Try using the Heavenly Thunder Talisman!]

[Yeah! Quickly use the Thunder Talisman to clear out this wave of monsters!]

……

Seeing that Teacher Piao was struggling in the game, the fans in the live stream quickly started to offer suggestions.

In the midst of the chaos, Teacher Piao inadvertently glanced at the comments section.

Then he remembered that he still had 15 Thunder Talismans from the first recharge gift pack in his pocket.

So he quickly took out a Heavenly Thunder Talisman and casually tossed it out.

next second...

boom!!!

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky, hitting an area within three meters in front of him. A deafening roar followed, almost shattering his eardrums.

After the light that had almost blinded him disappeared, Teacher Piao opened his eyes again.

Only then did he realize that the seven or eight zombies that had been blocking his way had all been reduced to ashes by this Heavenly Thunder Talisman.

"hiss……"

"Holy crap! This thing is insane!"

"That thirty yuan was well spent! This item is amazing, much more powerful than the items from Plants vs. Zombies!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

After tasting the sweetness, Teacher Piao completely began to let loose.

This exhilarating experience made him feel invigorated.

So they started throwing Heavenly Thunder Talismans outwards continuously.

After casting five Heavenly Thunder Talismans, there were no more zombies around him.

"Hahaha! Aren't you guys handsome?"

"I think this game is pretty good; it's fun to play!"

"I just don't know if there are any missions or other gameplay elements like Plants vs. Zombies."

"So, he's just going to live in this abandoned city forever, killing zombies all the time?"

"If that's the case, it will get a bit boring after a while."

After calming down, Teacher Piao also realized the potential problems with the game.

Just like he said, if this game is really just about survival and pursuing fun without any other gameplay, then it would indeed be very boring.

[Wasn't this what these kinds of games were like before Plants vs. Zombies came along?]

[I guess EasyGame's mindset hasn't changed yet. After all, two months is too short a time; where would they find the time to develop any new gameplay features?]

[Not necessarily. After all, EasyGame is such a large company with plenty of talent, and they spent 400 million yuan. They couldn't possibly have just made a zombie-killing simulator, could they?]

You know what... it's actually quite possible...

[Hey streamer! Look at me! I suddenly thought of a very serious question: What would happen if you didn't make that first 30 yuan top-up?]

【That's right! Try taking off your copper coin sword and Taoist robe!】

I feel like something's not right...

……

Finally, while exploring the map and reading the comments, Teacher Piao noticed these comments.

Upon seeing these comments, Teacher Piao immediately thought of this very serious question...

He didn't hesitate at all, for the sake of the test.

He actually took off the copper coin sword and Taoist robe that he had bought for thirty yuan.

After walking a few steps, they indeed encountered another lone zombie at a corner.

"Brothers, this zombie's all alone, no risk at all. Watch Teacher Piao show you a bare-handed solo kill!"

With that, the confident Mr. Piao strode towards the zombie opposite him.

Then he got up and delivered a flying kick!

boom! ! !

The kick landed squarely on the zombie, but the result was unexpected.

The zombie wasn't killed by Piao Laoshi's game character's kick; it just staggered back a few steps. As for Piao Laoshi, he was sent flying backward by the powerful recoil.

To be fair, in terms of the realism of the physics engine, this game is truly incredibly well done.

The inertia of various movements is basically the same as in the real world.

But there's one thing...

So, what if I didn't spend that thirty yuan at the start?

I can't even beat a zombie?

You're using the free-to-play label, yes, yes! You didn't make me buy the game, you just let me in to play for free.

But if I don't pay, why would I come in here to be treated like this?

The viewers in the live stream who witnessed this scene couldn't hold back any longer.

Good grief! My worst fears have come true.

It was supposed to be a free game, but I can't play it without spending money...

[Paying money makes it a fun zombie-slaying simulator; not spending money makes you a pathetic rat running away with its tail between its legs.]

[I'm apologizing to Mr. Chen of Fengyun Games right now! I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before!]

[As expected, CEO Chen is quite conscientious. At least you can play Plants vs. Zombies without spending money, but with this thing, if you don't pay, he won't even give you a stick!]

[How dare you! You played someone else's game without spending a penny, and you still want a wooden stick? You're simply delusional!]

[I've already uninstalled it. I just tried it out, without spending any money, but I couldn't stand it. It's so frustrating.]

[I got killed by zombies four times as soon as I went in! I thought it was because I wasn't good enough or I wasn't using the right method, but it turns out it's normal!]

……

At this moment, this epic masterpiece, which EasyGame invested a huge sum of 400 million yuan to create and which gamers had been looking forward to for a month, seemed to have become a joke.

At the same time, many players who had experienced the game but had already quit began to flock to Piao Laoshi's live stream.

He recounted his experience in its entirety.

The general situation is that players who spent money had a decent and enjoyable experience, but those who didn't spend money just went in to get beaten up and tortured.

Playing games is supposed to be relaxing and fun, but this game not only didn't bring me a good mood, it also left me feeling frustrated!

As for Teacher Piao, he was extremely embarrassed at this moment.

He knew exactly what the game was all about, and he understood it much better than the average player.

But there was nothing he could do; after all, he had taken the money, and he couldn't directly say anything bad about the game. Instead, he had to praise it.

He thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out how to praise this lousy game.

Finally, after a full minute of stunned silence, Teacher Piao finally spoke, his face full of embarrassment:

"Haha! Guys, if you have the budget and can spend some money, the experience in this game is actually quite good!"

"At least the copper coin sword and the Heavenly Thunder Talisman are really worth the money! Yi You would be losing money if he could buy these for thirty yuan!"

Perhaps because he rarely lies openly, Teacher Piao's face suddenly turned red after saying these words.

Just then, a large group of zombies suddenly appeared from the opposite side.

So, Teacher Piao transformed all his embarrassment into rage against the zombies, and charged forward with his copper coin sword.

With three sword strikes, three zombies fell to the ground.

Teacher Piao: "?????????????????????"
