Chapter 276 Who are You Despising? I’m Happy!
This was the first ti Hu Xiao had ever seen fake reviewers blend into ordinary comnt sections this way-it was seamless.
Hu Xiao had wanted to refund the ga at first, but the intense argunt online was confusing him once again. He was starting to get curious.
The officials had obviously made the ga so difficult on purpose.
The tone of this Weibo post was clear; they were establishing the upper hand against players. Apart from sounding more tactful, the ssage was no different from the six-syllable mantra.
But why?
Were they offending players on purpose?
That did not make sense!
Why would a ga rchant offend players on purpose? Wouldn’t they be more interested in earning money?
More and more questions filled Hu Xiao’s head. He planned to research more on the ga’s strategy. For all he knew, he would be able to find so clues.
He accessed the ga’s forum and browsed it quickly.
The posts on the forum were similar to the comnts section on the Weibo post and the ga’s page-everyone seed to be arguing.
The fake reviewers had also added fuel to this fire, but Hu Xiao still could not tell fake reviewers from genuinely angry gars.
In the midst of these angry posts, Hu Xiao found a few posts about others’ experiences in the ga.
One of the more popular posts was titled ‘An Elite Action-Based Gar Updates His Progress in the Ga in Real-Ti’.
“In the beginning, I was miserably tortured by the ga as well. However, after so observation, I realized that the ga is not as difficult as people say it is. People have demonized its difficulty.
“The monsters can kill people with only two blows, but you can easily get rid of those monsters with four or five attacks. You just have to be careful not to make any errors, and you would be able to progress in the ga.
“This ga reminds
of extrely difficult platform gas that I used to play when I was younger. For so reason, it ignites anger inside , hahaha.
“I want to curse and swear as well. Each ti I die, the monsters would revive. I feel freaking helpless.”
“…I’ve made it past a small setting.”
“The elite monsters here have already killed
five or six tis. I’m fighting to pass through them.”
Many netizens comnted on these posts.
“Holy sh*t, brother! You’re an expert in action-based gas!”
“…I’m still fighting with the little beasts at the entrance, and yet you’ve progressed so
far?”
“Boss, you must rember to record your progress. Upload it on Aili Island, and we’ll all watch it!”
“Can you live-stream on ZZ? I want to learn from you!”
At that ti, livestreams were still on the rise. Although there were livestream platforms and people were getting the hang of live-streaming techniques, investors had not yet caught on to the investnt opportunity. Thus, most people instinctively recorded themselves playing gas. Only a small portion of gars would ntion livestreaming
The original poster obviously had not thought about livestreaming as well. He only uploaded two screenshots every now and then, with short captions to explain his own view and understanding of the ga.
Soon, people began uploading simple videos on Aili Island as well.
So were tortured by the monsters for a long ti, and others defeated them on their first try. There were all sorts of videos of various styles being uploaded.
Hu Xiao could not help but feel moved. This ‘monkey see, monkey do’ thod is really unique.
Hu Xiao watched several videos in which gars displayed their skills. The monsters could not even touch them. Instead, they attacked the monsters’ back and dealt with them deftly.
After watching these videos, Hu Xiao began questioning himself.
Could I have been playing the ga wrongly?
Why don’t other players experience the sa problems as I do?
It looks like as long as I can grasp the technique, it wouldn’t be that difficult!
With renewed confidence, Hu Xiao returned to the ga. There was still a long ti before the five hours would be up and he would not be able to refund the ga. Hu Xiao felt safe.
“Hehe.”
“Hehe.”
“Hehe.”
An hour later, Hu Xiao fell silent in front of his computer once more.
Indeed, it was an illusion.
This ga is not for humans to play!
Hu Xiao was speechless. This ti, he decided not to hesitate any further. He would refund the ga and uninstall it!
This wretched ga was being sold for 128 yuan. It was ridiculous!
I don’t want this ga to remain on my computer for another minute! I’m going to spam the comnts section with criticism!
Hu Xiao was infuriated. He had been wrong from the beginning.
Why did he have to test the ga out? He had been torturing himself!
Hu Xiao found it hard to calm himself down. He glanced at the ti and realized that there was still a couple of hours before his five hours would be up. Unable to wait any longer, he rushed to the comnts section to post his complaints and look for like-minded friends.
The enraged Hu Xiao wrote a post of his own. “This ga is rubbish! The officials mindlessly increased the monsters’ attack power. They’re grossing us out on purpose!
“Refund the ga as soon as you can. If you haven’t bought it, don’t bother. It’s a waste of your life. You would be spending money to be tortured!”
Less than two minutes later, Hu Xiao refreshed his post and saw a new comnt.
“Hehe, another piece of trash who could not defeat the monsters.”
“This ga is really not for lousy players. The officials extended the refund allowance period to take care of old people like you.
“You’re quitting after eting such minor setbacks? You’re probably the kind of person who would have sold our country out during wars, right? Hehe.”
After reading this, Hu Xiao felt even more furious!
With a short temper like mine, how could I take this lying down?!
Hu Xiao was used to battling with others online. How could he suffer in silence? He sucked in a deep breath and imdiately began typing away on his keyboard, cursing and swearing
In the end, the other party refused to give way as well. A heated argunt ensued.
They began talking about each other’s bodies and health and then moved the argunt to each other’s loved ones. At last, they focused on each other’s lives and the source of humanity.
As he argued, Hu Xiao suddenly realized that sothing was amiss.
Why did this feel so familiar?
Hu Xiao rarely t a worthy opponent. After all, most people had real jobs to do. Few people had as much ti on their hands as Hu Xiao did and were able to spend that much ti on a forum.
Not only did this opponent have a wide vocabulary, but he was also very mystifying. Within a short ti, he managed to type long, good-quality replies. Confused, Hu Xiao copied the link to his own post and pasted it into the group chat.
“Are any of you looking at this post?”
Soon, soone replied.
Jaiedg_0 said, “Don’t worry, Brother Hu. I’m talking to this retarded poster. I can finish my assignnt and disgust this lousy newbie. Hehe.”
Hu Xiao was so angry that his hands were trembling. F*ck, it was my own brother!
No wonder I found his typing so familiar.
However, precisely because the man was a brother from his own chat, Hu Xiao could not do anything. After all, it was a misunderstanding. If he kicked the man out of the group, he might turn others away from him.
He could only ban the man for 24 hours and deal with the hatred in his heart.
Muddle-headed, he had argued with his own brother for so long. Hu Xiao looked at the ti and recalled that he had not exited the ga. That ant he only had two hours left before he had to refund it.
“Forget it, forget it. I’ll refund the ga.”
Hu Xiao looked at the ‘refund’ button and fell silent once again.
Should I really refund it?
Am I really going to give up just like that? Am I admitting that I’m a lousy gar?
No, I must try again!
Hu Xiao felt indignant. If he gave up now, wouldn’t he be admitting that he was an incompetent, raging lunatic?
He had to at least deal with the little monsters at the mass grave, right?
Once again, Hu Xiao entered the ga.
After dying so many tis before, Hu Xiao finally learned a few lessons. He had to lure the monsters away one by one. He had to attack them blow by blow. Once the monster raised its hand, he had to dodge and look for another opportunity to attack.
All in all, he could not be greedy!
Hu Xiao kept in mind the lessons he learned from the gaming god’s videos. Slowly and steadily, he defeated several little monsters in the mass grave, despite being attacked once. ‘Hehe’ did not appear on his screen.
“I’m aweso!”
After killing those little monsters, Hu Xiao felt his heart pound with excitent. His hands were shaking non-stop.
So nervous! So exciting!
Was this what an adrenaline rush felt like?
The ga was not as difficult as he had imagined. Hu Xiao was filled with renewed motivation as he steered his character forward.
Three minutes later, a butcher with a large chopper appeared in front of Hu Xiao. This was the first elite monster in the ga.
“Hehe.”
“Hehe.”
“Hehe.”
A long ti later…
Hu Xiao let go of his mouse and lit up a cigarette.
Ah… What have I been doing today…? I’ve wasted so much ti in a ga like that.
Hu Xiao began to doubt his own existence.
He had died so many tis that he had beco numb to it. Now, he had no idea how much ti had passed since he first started the ga.
He only had one feeling: emptiness.
Vast, limitless emptiness!
“Forget it, I’ll refund the ga. There’s no need to waste so much ti playing this.”
Hu Xiao looked at the ti. The refund allowance period was almost up. If he waited any longer, he would not be able to get his money back. He could only say that ti flew by once he really focused on the ga.
Hu Xiao was just about to refund the ga when a line of words appeared on his screen.
“Refund it. Given your standard, you will never be able to complete the ga. There’s no need to hang on for that long. There are many other things worth doing in life. Why waste your precious ti and money on a ga like that?”
Hu Xiao, “???”
Who the h*ll are you despising?
Hu Xiao wanted to refund the ga, but he changed his mind!
The ssage on the screen sounded quite sincere, and it was true as well.
Even after five hours, he still had not left the village he was placed in at the beginning. At this rate, the chances of him completing the ga were negligible. Also, there were indeed many other things worth doing in life. There was no point in getting so angry and wasting so much money on a ga that tortured him.
To Pei Qian, these were wise words. Any gar with a hint of intelligence would probably heed his advice.
What’s more, he had kind intentions. He wanted to remind players that the refund allowance period was almost up, and they should refund the ga as soon as possible.
However, Hu Xiao understood the ssage very differently.
‘You will never be able to complete the ga?’ I’ll do it just to show you!
‘Why waste your precious ti and money on a ga like that?’ I have plenty of ti and money! Can you stop
from wasting it?
I won’t refund the ga!
Hu Xiao’s temper was rising once again; not even nine bulls could hold him back. He would push through the ga today!
With rage, Hu Xiao resud playing the ga. “Wait. How much did the ga cost?
“Oh, 128.
“So be it. I don’t care.”
