Sadistic Ga Producers
With “Yu Shengfan’s” character card in hand, Zhao Youyue would be unstoppable. Xiao Yu was not even human. Speaking of which, the gaplay and ga screen of this “Tale of Wuxia” ga series, was a bit similar to the ga within “The Strongest King.” Wasn’t this effortless for Xiao Yu?
Zhao Youyue opened the Tencent gaming platform. This was considered the greatest digital software sales platform within the Chinese sphere of influence. It could easily compete with Steam on equal grounds, and was more powerful than the “Wega” that was a part of the Tencent of another world.
This was unavoidable, as the other world’s China was basically making Single-Player Gas with sticks and stones. Piracy was so rampant that gas had even been considered the electronic opium. This had lived up to the “King of Thunderbolt” – Professor Yang’s[1] philosophy. Dostic Single-Player Gas were thoroughly unpopular. The money spamming trash online gas online gas rose to the stage. This was undoubtedly a most pitiful matter.
If one wanted triple-A experience[2], he could only find one from foreign gas
Fortunately, the China gaming industry of this world was very well-developed, especially concerning dostic Single-Player Gas. Among them, there was no lack of triple-A level masterpieces. At the sa ti, the nation provided a platform that was akin to Steam. This was very convenient.
Zhao Youyue spent over 200 RMB to purchase “Tale of Wuxia 3- Sword of the Future”, along with its DLC. Compared to the other Single-Player Gas, this price was considered relatively expensive. But compared to those money sucking online gas, this was nothing!
A few skins within the ga “King of Glory” cost more than a hundred RMB, whereas a gun within the ga “CrossFire” cost 888 RMB!
Zhao Youyue’s computer was cutting-edge and had to be one of the most powerful gaming rigs in the world. She could easily play this ga on ultra settings. Of course, this would look great on screen, to the benefit of her stream. Her viewers would be treated to sothing like a special effects-laden blockbuster!
Her internet would make short work of this large-scale download. It would take her no more than half an hour to start things off. The entire ga client was not necessary to initialize gaplay. You could start playing with only a quarter of the client, whereby it would continue downloading in the background.
For those ten minutes, Zhao Youyue got busy. She first played a violin song for the audiences, which could be considered as a warm-up, and also to satisfy the request of many fans among the bullet curtains.
So fans even asked Zhao Youyue if she would be performing at the classical concert hall again. Her live performances were still the best ever
Zhao Youyue certainly could not respond to that. Her future career choice would have to depend on fate. If she truly was Chu Luoxun, she might most likely focus on music. Unfortunately, she was not. She was Zhao Youyue.
After she finished performing a song, the audiences spamd a wave of free gifts. Zhao Youyue opened the ga “Tale of Wuxia 3 – Sword of the Future,” brimming with anticipation.
Just like many AAA masterpieces, the ga opened with a high-quality CGI opening. One of its claims – “Ten years in the making – nine years of which had been spent on CG” was not just a joke...
After the ga’s logo splashed across the screen with a boom, she saw an ink painting that looked just like the ancient calligraphy in Wuxia movies unfurling itself. The narrator started booming away ——
“Generations passed, throughout the winds and rains, great dominance and grand accomplishnts, yet such tales could only be told to the mountain ghosts! We’ve taken great pride in our great battles, but let’s take one mont to talk about the hundreds of years of the lawless world! About the sword Deity in green, swinging his longsword, uttering his warcry!”
“If I, Li Chungang had not been born, swordsmanship would have been as dim and dull as the dark, long night! Behold, the Swords of the future!”
The entire screen seed to be filled with the aura of swords. The scene seed to be rather grand. It could completely stimulate the players’ longing to be in the thick of the Wuxia and a lawless world!
Zhao Youyue could not help but sigh, “This ga claims to be an anti-Wuxia production. Weren’t they proudly announcing on how they were going to be so different from typical Wuxia swordsn flicks? But look at this opening. It’s screaming Wuxia at ”
The bullet curtain exploded again. Her viewers seed to be criticizing the ga producer, Zha Feng, saying things like how the trailer had been intentionally misleading, how Zha Feng’s conspiracy had just begun, how that image at the beginning was all a smokescreen
From those words, Zhao Youyue already had a rough idea about the situation. Streaming was really nice. It was like playing a ga, while being accompanied by thousands of walking guides and walkthroughs. If she misses anything out, her fans would imdiately remind her, and she would walk away all the wiser, benefitting from everything the ga could offer.
An open world RPG such as this would definitely contain lots of hidden side quests, treasure boxes, and the like. This called for heavy exploration. With the help of the bullet curtain, she would not miss out on any information.
The trailer revealed the rough background of the ga. This Li Chungang was so sort of legendary figure. This character would not even appear in the ga. That no-show had left many players disgruntled. They wanted so badly to experience the elegance and class of this legendary blade Deity. Even more than that, they had been looking forward most eagerly to employing unbelievable skills and abilities, themselves. They did not expect to find only underwhelming skills and abilities throughout the entire ga. Players were forced to keep rolling around and avoiding attacks when raiding a boss. They could never entertain the greed of landing just that one more hit before they had to roll away and save their sorry hides
Zhao Youyue entered the character creation nu. It allowed her to pick a background and adjust options such as facial appearance. For an aesthetics aficionado such as Zhao Youyue, half an hour would be far from enough for her to tweak about the settings until she produced a goddess.
But as things were, she was in the middle of a stream, and she was here to clear the ga as soon as possible. Her priorities overca her almost overwhelming obsessive-compulsive disorder. She randomized a male character, and kept things simple by making him a jarhead. Little did she know that this would affect her gaplay rather significantly!
She could not deny it, this sandbox ga was sohow unique in its own way
She could even choose the origin of her in-ga character. That nu had been worded in such a way that she had mistaken it as the difficulty settings. She never expected to see the ga starting off with a scene of her entire family being massacred!
It was a most shocking, bloody scene. Zhao Youyue could not help but asked, “So, no matter what identity I choose, I lose my entire family at the beginning?”
She was replied with all sorts of “yes” on the bullet curtain. Even if soone chose to be a mber of the royal family, they would only be royally massacred. Within a chaotic world of many countries, wasn’t it normal for small nations to be exterminated at will?
Now that the entire family was dead, the protagonist certainly would not, and could not die. This also calls for the main quest, to avenge his parents!
Wuxia and Vengeance almost always walked hand in hand. It was so prevalent that Wuxia novels could practically be called Revenge novels. Within gas, such a the would be as stale. The protagonist could play a round of “Quint cards”[3] or sothing else, long before his revenge
Zhao Youyue’s protagonist hailed from a small village. The first boss was a thief in the mountain. This boss was also called the “The Ga Quitting Advisor” boss. His encounter was unavoidable, his boss fight unskippable. Players had always been critical of this. Where was the promised ‘sandbox’ open world?
As Zhao Youyue started playing the ga, she told the audiences that she wanted to walk the path of justice, be a good man, and not take unnecessary lives.
As a result, she started encountering “Zha Feng’s bad intention” in no ti at all
Zhao Youyue was a master of gas. She almost leisurely bullied the so-called “Ga Quitting Advisor” boss. In the end, as the thief was beaten to the last drop of his HP, he started begging for rcy. He promised to turn into a new leaf, and never be a thief anymore while begging the protagonist to let him go.
Zhao Youyue showed him rcy, and let him go. Finally, she could head out and explore the lawless world
In the end, she completed the first main quest, successfully joined the “Two Zen Monastery,” and returned to the village of her origin, only to find that her village had been slaughtered by the very thief she had once let free. The thief had even built up a “Corpse Collection Tower.”
As she hacked and slashed through the goons, she finally ca across the thief again. The thief had laughed in a most dastardly fashion, and had mocked the protagonist for his naive, optimistic ways. He seed to have beco a gang leader, with dozens of subordinates beneath him.
If another player had been in Zhao Youyue’s shoes, he or she would have been dood. They would be sward by the thief boss and his goons, and they could spit on the player to death. Such a player would lose hope in the ga, and rampage through the ga, as evilly as the ga had treated them. He would most certainly commit all forms of murder, never to believe in the words of any villain again...
But Zhao Youyue sighed and tenderly said, “Amitabha, I hereby liberate him of the bondages of his mortal coil and rescue him from the weight of his wrongdoings!”
