"This ga is just too damn hardcore..."
As the first ray of dawn fell onto Ren Suo's despondent face from the balcony, he realized that he had been up all night.
After buying "If You Are Strong, Climb Ten Thousand ters" yesterday, aside from eating and sleeping, he had been playing this ga the whole ti.
Despite the na similar to a mini-ga, once he entered this ga, he found that its realism was nearly on par with "Assassin," and he could even create a character.
Furthermore, he could create a female character.
In an instant, Ren Suo was srized by the default female character in the ga—a face so pure and radiant it inspired longing, with elegant blonde hair tied back in a ponytail, draped in a set of black training clothing that covered her entire body, but still couldn't hide her devilish figure...
Dammit! Why can't I take off all the clothing to adjust her body shape!
Naturally, Ren Suo directly chose this female character. After all, given a choice, who the hell would want to stare at so dude moving around on the screen...
Do you think playing a female character in an online ga ans all the uncouth, foot-scratching n behind the screen are malevolent creeps? No, they just hope that when they play the ga, their character is a bit more pleasing to the eye.
And in this ga, male and female characters each have their advantages.
'Male: Faster recovery of Physical Strength.'
'Female: Quick reaction when faced with crises.'
With all these reasons, Ren Suo comfortably chose the female character, without any interest in fine-tuning that perfect face with his clumsy, lazy hands.
He definitely didn't want to drool over her; he just wanted to look at her every day... Well, actually, he did want to drool over her.
However, the ga skipped the na selection process, and the ga character's na was automatically set as 'Truth Seeker'.
Yet, when the ga started, it was different from Ren Suo's imagination of watching a cute girl perform impressive, thrilling, and dazzling actions.
The real ga screen turned into sprites, the ground turned brown, the sky turned blue—yes, this ga used colors to distinguish between heaven and earth!
Most importantly, the cute girl turned into a stick figure.
It was quite subtle how the graphics style went from "Assassin" level to Tetris level. If this were on Earth, suing for defrauding consurs would surely be rightful.
On the screen, the stick figure Truth Seeker stood at the bottom, and there were many platforms above. When Ren Suo controlled Truth Seeker to jump, she would land on the platform above.
The ga was very simple, with an altitude bar in the lower-left corner, showing the current altitude as 0 ters, and a green marker at the top of the altitude bar showing 10,000 ters—that's the finish line.
In the upper-left corner was a green bar that would decrease when Truth Seeker jumped, but it quickly recovered, equivalent to a stamina bar.
Besides these, there was nothing else. It was just that simple: Ren Suo had to control Truth Seeker to keep jumping upwards.
At first, it could be said to be very simple; you couldn't even describe it as 'jumping'—the whole screen was like stair steps, and Truth Seeker was almost walking up them.
However, after playing for an hour, Ren Suo sensed sothing was wrong because the altitude bar was rising too slowly.
On average, for every minute Ren Suo jumped, the altitude bar only rose by 2 ters. Although it was easy, it was far too slow...
The first hour, he reached 102 ters.
The second hour, he reached 240 ters.
By the third hour, when Ren Suo was finally getting impatient, the ga suddenly popped up a ssage: 'Are you willing to spend 5 rit Points to imdiately jump to the first checkpoint?'
In the altitude bar, aside from the green marker at the very top, there were many white markers in the middle, which were the checkpoints. After failure, one could restart directly from a checkpoint.
The first checkpoint was at the 2,048 ters mark, which ant that at this pace, he would have to play for at least 20 more hours before reaching the first checkpoint...
No wonder this ga had a 50% discount and still only cost 8 rit Points—it was damn hard to play.
Just by spending 5 rit Points, one could avoid 20 hours of tornt. Where else could you find such a deal?
Ren Suo certainly chose—not to do it!
He had 14 rit Points, and after buying the ga, only 6 were left. If he spent another 5, he would have only 1 point left!
Ren Suo really didn't want to let go, mainly because he now suspected that the Mini-World Ga Console could be sothing beyond his imagination, whether it was a toy of a deity, an offering from aliens, or a gift from people from the future... In any case, it wouldn't be wrong to be cautious.
What if the rit Points hit zero, would the ga console disappear?
What if the rit Points dipped into the negative, would there be so kind of erasure?
Compared with these potential threats, a re 20 hours wasn't worth ntioning. The least valuable thing for young people was ti...
Ren Suo then checked the in-ga purchases:
"Reach the 5,896 ters checkpoint, 10 rit Points"; "Reach the 6,853 ters checkpoint, 12 rit Points"; "Oxygen Cylinder, 1 rit Point"; "Survival Rope, 1 rit Point"...
The highest checkpoint you could reach was either 5,896 ters or 6,853 ters. Anything higher than that, you had to climb on your own. But it was the items section that baffled Ren Suo—Truth Seekers wouldn't need those things, right?
Anyway, I won't spend a single penny!
So, under the dawn of the next day, Ren Suo finally managed to stubbornly reach the first checkpoint and could no longer bear it, going off to sleep—the ga wasn't unpausable, but once you started, it sucked you in because the force of each jump of the Truth Seeker was controlled by Ren Suo.
A longer distance required a harder press; a shorter distance, a lighter touch. There were also many forks to choose from, with each path leading to new routes, making it a ga that needed a lot of focus. Unless under the pressure of a full bladder, Ren Suo simply couldn't stop.
Ignoring the crappy setup, this ga was actually quite good.
This sleep lasted for 8 hours. By the ti Ren Suo woke up, it was almost 2 p.m. He had completely skipped the whole morning and noon, and then an unprecedented sense of hunger rapidly assaulted his hypothalamus...
"Two large bowls of tossed Yi in noodles with beef brisket and fried sauce! Super hungry!"
"Alrighty!"
There weren't many people eating noodles at this ti, so Ren Suo easily found a seat. As he anxiously awaited the arrival of his al, his gaze was suddenly captured by a girl on the opposite side of the street.
Decked in a red puffy skirt, with twin ponytails, and wearing white stockings, her delicate face and milky white skin stood out as she carried several bags, looking like she'd just finished shopping, with a sweet smile on her face. Even for Ren Suo, a seasoned internet veteran who had seen plenty over the years, he had to admit that this girl ranked within the top five amongst all the girls he had ever seen in person.
Even Ren Suo, who was known in college as the 'Senior Master of the Follow-Your-Heart philosophy', felt the impulse to go ask for her WeChat or sothing.
However, the reason Ren Suo suddenly paid attention to her was not for her beauty but because looking at her made his heart flutter!
That palpitation was like the saliva secretly secreted by the tongue upon seeing delicious food, similar to his reaction upon seeing Black Body Armor Li Dan or Mo Zhaolong!
"Your noodles."
Ren Suo turned his head and looked at the steaming hot and aromatic noodles in front of him, his appetite firing up.
For so reason, as he ate his noodles, he found himself thinking of Li Dan, Mo Zhaolong, and the girl who had flashed by just monts ago...
