The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

Chapter 16 The Man Injured by the Imperial Seal

however.

Just as Chi Cheng was about to press the left mouse button.

His movements suddenly froze.

The excitement on his face gradually faded, replaced by extreme vigilance!

"No...something's not right."

"Wait a moment."

"Brothers, I'm not buying equipment right now."

The comments section was filled with question marks.

Why?

Upgrade now!

Isn't fish bait more appealing than earthworms?

Your family's heirloom bamboo pole will break sooner or later.

Chi Cheng's expression was very serious.

"You don't understand."

"I'm terrified of being scammed by Chaoxi Games now."

"In the last post, 'I found the Imperial Seal of the State!', I was just too trusting of it."

"I thought that as long as I worked hard to develop the business, recruit talented people, and reorganize the community, I would definitely be able to beat Xinghai Group in the future."

"And the result?"

"It made me see it."

"But it wouldn't let me in."

At this point, Chi Cheng's voice even carried a hint of genuine resentment.

"So this time, I'm not in a hurry to upgrade my equipment."

"There's one thing I want to know right now."

"Will the later maps in this game ever be unlocked? We absolutely cannot repeat this mistake!"

The comments section erupted in laughter.

[Hahahaha, the man who was hurt by the imperial seal.]

[Chi Zi is now as cautious as someone who's been swindled out of their dowry.]

[Once bitten by a snake, twice shy; this is the psychological trauma left on the village chief.]

【So what do we do? Save this money for having more babies?】

"No equipment! Absolutely not!"

"Earthworms are perfectly usable! I just caught a big fish, didn't I?"

Chi Cheng's eyes became incredibly determined. He decisively closed the tempting shop interface, moved the mouse quickly across the screen, and directly clicked on the map icon with a globe in the upper right corner.

"I don't want anything right now, and I don't care if this broken bamboo pole can catch any big fish. Even if I die today, even if I go bankrupt from empty-handed losses, I still want to see if this game has a second map!"

"If this game can't even get you out of the village's wild river, I'll never spend another penny on Chaoxi Games in my life!"

The regional map interface expands.

A huge hand-drawn sheepskin scroll appeared on the screen.

Besides the currently lit "Village Entrance Wild River", there are four gray areas shrouded in a thick fog of war on this scroll!

Beside the mud pit, a dotted line connects to the next area.

The words "[City Park Lake]" are prominently displayed above.

Below the area name hangs a small gold lock, next to which is a clear number: [Unlock condition: 200 gold coins].

"200 gold coin?"

Chi Cheng glanced at the balance in the upper right corner of the screen; the wild carp he had just bought had sold for 25 gold coins.

In other words, there are still more than a hundred maps to unlock.

It cannot be unlocked immediately.

But this number completely put Chi Cheng's mind at ease.

"Brothers, did you see that?"

Chi Cheng slapped his thigh and let out a long sigh of relief.

Because this feels different from "I Found the Imperial Seal!", at least "The Great Angler" lays out the conditions.

"As long as the price is clearly stated and I can see a progress bar, it means there's definitely something behind this map!"

"It's just a matter of being short of gold coins, right? It's just a matter of getting a few more fish!"

"As long as I can confirm I can leave the starting village, I'll grind for 50 gold coins today, let alone 500!"

The live chat was now buzzing with excitement.

That's right, there's hope! The Great E Empire may be gone, but the angler's journey has just begun!

[Quick, quick, while the fish are biting well, cast your line again!]

Is this bamboo pole durable enough? I don't want it to break later.

Chi Cheng was full of confidence and was just about to touch the mouse when his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.

He seemed to remember something and turned to look at the shelf next to the computer.

"Wait, guys. Just now, while I was fishing, the system seemed to pop up a notification saying that this game strongly recommends playing with a gamepad for better force feedback?"

Chi Cheng stroked his chin.

Reaching down from the shelf, I took a top-of-the-line vibration game controller, expertly plugged in the data cable, and connected it to the computer.

"Playing fishing games with a keyboard and mouse is ultimately done through a screen."

"Today I'll try it out with a controller and see what kind of fancy feedback this ten-dollar single-player game can produce!"

Connection successful.

A small controller icon immediately popped up in the upper right corner of the game interface.

Chi Cheng sat up straight again and gripped the handles with both hands.

"Come on, second cast."

Following the system's button prompts, he pushed the joystick to select the landing point, and then pressed the right trigger button to start charging.

The moment he pressed the trigger, Chi Cheng's expression changed.

"Why?"

A very slight, yet exceptionally clear, vibration was transmitted through the controller.

"Get out of here!"

Chi Cheng released the trigger.

"Whoosh..."

Accompanied by the sound of air being cut through in the game, the controller was released, and then there was another crisp and clean launch vibration!

"Thump."

The fishing float fell into the water.

Chi Cheng gripped the controller, originally intending to continue chatting with the viewers in the live chat.

But soon he discovered that the handle was indeed different.

When the float is not moving, there is almost no feedback from the handle.

There was only a very slight tremor in the water, like a fishing line gently swaying on the surface.

This vibration is very weak.

It's so subtle that you might even overlook it if you don't pay close attention.

But precisely because of this, when something underwater touches the bait, that slight vibration becomes very noticeable.

Chi Cheng's expression changed instantly.

The force feedback in this game is amazing!

"Why?"

"Guys, it looks like it just touched something."

"Did Chaoxi Games pour its entire budget into the physics engine?!"

Before the comments could react, the fishing float tapped gently again.

This time, a very short vibration was felt on the right side of the controller.

It's not the kind of sudden, forceful yank when a big fish bites the hook.

It felt like a rustling sound, all at once.

Another one.

The amplitude is small, but the handle can clearly transmit that subtle vibration.

Chi Cheng's expression immediately turned serious.

"Brothers, did you see that? Did you see that?! This is definitely a job coming in!"

"Based on my years of experience watching other people fish in various live streams, this tentative bite definitely indicates a cautious and experienced fish underwater!"

The comments section also became tense.

Shh, don't make a sound, you might scare the fish.

[Is it really that amazing? A ten-dollar game can even detect the tentative biting motion through the controller?]

[Hold on, streamer! We're waiting for a big black market raid!]

[They were just talking about critical gameplay, now they're barely daring to breathe.]

[Little Fish: Don't rush, let me taste it first to see if it's salty.]

Chi Cheng stared intently at the small fishing float with a red round tail on the screen.

The float bobbed nervously on the surface of the water twice, then suddenly dipped gently downwards.

It's now!

"Get up here, sir!!!"

But this time there was no dramatic tug-of-war, and the fishing line didn't run wildly outwards.

The handle only gave a very slight flapping sensation.
