Chapter 237 Anything not Logical had Great aning!
Boss Pei had changed a little of the ga’s content?
Li Yada was a little taken aback.
Based on her impression of Boss Pei, he rarely personally made changes to gas. If he wanted to change sothing, he would normally speak to Lu Mingliang; and the latter would perfect the changes requested.
Why did Boss Pei make the changes personally this ti? Did he not trust ?
Li Yada thought for a while. This doesn’t make sense; if Boss Pei didn’t trust , how could he have made
the chief planner?
Having so misgivings, Li Yada returned to her workspace and looked at the altered portions of the ga.
Not much had been changed. The modifications had mainly centered on one weapon.
One ordinary filler staff had been strengthened and had a new glowing effect. Besides that, a special mission and way to obtain this enhanced weapon had been added.
Li Yada took a good look at the weapon nad ‘Pudu’.
From its stats, this was a rather formidable weapon in the early stage of the ga; it was overkill. However, its ordinary attack speed was still the sa and as it required a rather lengthy swing to execute each strike, it was rather cumberso.
Of course, during the design phase for this weapon, just like other two-handed heavy weapons; they all had leap-attack settings. A faster attack could be executed after a series of moves were made.
That ant that if a skilled gar got his hands on this weapon, it would greatly reduce the difficulty of the battles in the early stages of the ga.
At the sa ti, this weapon had severe limitations as well. If it was used for ga content beyond that of the six realms of rebirth and existence ending, it was not evidently superior to other weapons. Furthermore, during a player’s second try with this weapon, it would lose its special enhancents.
Li Yada was a little perplexed.
Why did Boss Pei specially create this weapon? Was it because Boss Pei couldn’t advance in the ga and had created a backdoor for himself?
Err, that didn’t make sense.
If Boss Pei felt that the ga was too difficult, why didn’t he just lower the difficulty level? Furthermore, as a designer, Boss Pei did not need to finish the entire ga.
Hence, she could eliminate this line of reasoning; there must be another reason.
Could it be that this action had greater aning behind it?
Li Yada thought about it deeper. The ga’s present difficulty level was indeed very hard for ordinary players. Those ordinary little monsters at the start of the ga could kill gars within two moves, that ant that a majority of players had to try their best to not get hit at all.
Although they would soon obtain items that could replenish their health-compared to how fast a player would lose health, these items were a little inadequate.
At the end of the day, players’ movents and actions had to be superb.
In that case, is this weapon of Boss Pei’s considered a bonus to newbie players? Less-experienced players that obtained this weapon could at the very least complete one ending of the ga and reach one conclusion? Or perhaps, this was the benevolent side of Boss Pei?
This is possible.
In that case… why was it so well-hidden?
Li Yada noticed that the staff-dropping old monk’s stats had been decimated by Boss Pei; the old monk was not even as strong as a small monster.
He was also situated on the outskirts of a town. Most players who reached this place would have experienced many hardships along the way and killed many monsters; they had no reason to stop and deal with the monk.
Even if they accidentally perished, they couldn’t possibly do so consecutively six tis, right?
Unless it was done intentionally, it was hard to think about what type of gar would die at the hands of this monk six tis.
Furthermore, killing this monk would allow one to obtain an ordinary staff and so beads. These could be used to get the weapons’ collector and early-stage weapons exhaustion bonuses; this would be very attractive to players.
All in all, ‘Pudu’ had been so deeply embedded in the ga; probably 99.99% of players would not be able to get their hands on it!
If this weapon was Boss Pei showing his benevolence, why did he hide it at this place that was not easily discoverable? Li Yada was deep in thought.
According to Senior Bao Xu’s thinking, anything that wasn’t logical had great aning. At present, this weapon was indeed very illogical!
“Why is it after dying six tis, that during the seventh ti the old monk would suddenly beco a friendly NPC? What did the numbers an?”
Li Yada went on the Qiandu search engine to search for so clues.
Although the search results all varied and Li Yada couldn’t be sure which saying Boss Pei had adhered to, she more or less could guess at the significance behind the numbers.
Of course, high-level Buddhist teachings were beyond Li Yada, beyond the Qiandu search engine, and also beyond players. So concrete anings had to be understandable at a shallow level so that they would be acceptable to players.
‘Seven’ and ‘nine’ were more important numbers in Buddhist teachings. For example, the ‘nine’ in the ‘Ninth-Grade Lotus Throne’ signified a great success.
‘Seven’ had many more anings. It also ant great success, though so viewed this number to an small successes.
Besides these interpretations, legend had it that when Buddha himself was born in this world, he could walk imdiately and walked seven steps. The first six steps represented the six realms of existence while the seventh step represented enlightennt. Hence, ‘seven’ could also be used to signify transcendence.
“Dying seven tis; did that an achieving success? That shouldn’t be the case. Strictly speaking, players had to die six tis. In that case… the six deaths represented the six realms of rebirth and existence while the seventh represented enlightennt?
“That’s why those that wielded this weapon could only use it to reach the six realms of rebirth and existence ending?”
Li Yada consolidated all her deductions and thought that this was the most logical explanation.
Six deaths represented the six realms of rebirth and existence. This also ant that players could gain access to the six realms of rebirth and existence earlier. When gars t the old monk for the seventh ti and received ‘Pudu’, they would officially reach the six realms of rebirth and existence ending.
Not only could they directly skip from the Road to the Underworld to face the six realms of rebirth and existence boss, but this weapon had also been specifically customized for this boss.
It was expected that players would have two differing reactions.
The first would be being overjoyed at obtaining ‘Pudu’ and relying on this weapon’s high attacking strength to engage in so easy battles, happily reaching the six realms of rebirth and existence ending.
The second would be deciding to give up on ‘Pudu’ and use their own efforts to battle and search for other endings.
After all, the original setting of the ga was to make the six realms of rebirth and existence ending a false conclusion, with the protagonist thinking that he had managed to flee from a hopeless world. However, in the actual fact, they had once again entered into rebirth.
Using ‘Pudu’ to get to this ending would also be more ironic!
Choosing ‘Pudu’ would an that players have chosen escapism; they didn’t dare to face tougher challenges and only aid at self-preservation. Giving up ‘Pudu’ and taking up ordinary weapons to face tougher enemies and more difficult battles would allow one to truly be set free from pain and suffering!
Thinking about this, Li Yada wanted to shout out her praise.
Co to think of it, the original ga setting had not been wrong; it just lacked a little depth.
According to it, this old monk in the ruined temple was but just a filler; whether a player attacked the monk or not had no effect on future gaplay. The six realms of rebirth and existence ending also didn’t differ that much to players when compared to other endings.
However, now that Boss Pei had made these changes, everything had been changed.
The addition of this super-weapon ‘Pudu’ directly placed two tough choices in front of all players: did they want to remain in their comfort zone and get to a false ending and deceive themselves, or did they want to step out of their comfort zone and endure hardships to search for the truths of this world?
This way, players would have a deeper impression of the different endings in the ga; they would then be more imrsed and captivated by the ga!
