15: Looking forward to it, demo will be released soon!

“This…”

Midnight Gao Sou watched the screen, swallowing hard.

Punching was a basic operation in ancient-style games.

As a game streamer, Midnight Gao Sou wouldn't be surprised by it.

He had used countless boxing techniques in games.

Tai Chi, Arhat Fist, Xingyi Quan, and even modern-developed Sanda.

He had also played Wuxia-style techniques, such as the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and Taizu Long Fist.

But the boxing techniques in "mystical world: the rise of the weak" were completely different from others!

“Damn, what is that Dragon that comes out with this punch? Is it the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?”

“How can the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms compare to this? Didn't you see that this Dragon is dozens of meters long?”

“Holy crap, when that Dragon's roar sounded, it felt like the screen was about to shatter!”

The bullet comments exploded!

Because the special effects of the boxing technique on the screen were maxed out!

With each punch, a divine Dragon, dozens of meters long, would appear, its roar high-pitched, shattering space.

Even more astonishing was the word “Beginner” displayed next to it.

This magnificent effect was only at the Beginner Realm?

What would the later Realms be like?

“Brothers, this game's world view seems even bigger than we imagined…”

Midnight Gao Sou clicked his tongue in amazement.

The effect of this martial art at the Beginner Realm was already comparable to the Perfection of a Martial Forest Supreme in other games.

On the screen, the protagonist absorbed the boxing technique transmitted by the Jade Slip and then practiced it.

Before long, the protagonist also raised his head, let out a high-pitched yell, and actually punched out a divine Dragon!

Although it was only half a meter long and not on the same level as the demonstration.

But it still caused the live stream audience to explode!

“Wait, this is a real-time demonstration, right? Is it demonstrating gameplay?”

“This set of boxing techniques doesn't look ordinary at all, why did the protagonist master it so quickly?”

“What's going on? No need to grind for proficiency?”

Of course, they didn't know.

In Xuanhuan World, Jade Slips are specifically used to record Legacy, achieving an effect similar to imparting Cultivation.

To advance further later, one naturally still needs to grind for proficiency.

But as long as one accepts the Cultivation imparted by the Jade Slip, one can immediately use the “skill”!

This is Xuanhuan World.

The imparting of Cultivation, which is extremely rare and precious in Wuxia, is commonplace and ubiquitous in Xuanhuan.

The difference in world views shocked many people.

The screen continued to advance.

The protagonist meditated and practiced boxing techniques in the cave, and then went out to gather medicinal herbs.

The bullet comments in the live stream immediately erupted again.

Because these medicinal herbs grew weirder and weirder; glowing was a basic operation, many herbs even ran away when they saw people, and some herbs dragged their roots and attacked the protagonist in return.

This made Midnight Gao Sou and others exclaim how awesome it was.

They had never seen such a novel world view.

Then the protagonist performed Alchemy, consumed the pills, and continued practicing… until he left the cave, returned to the small town, easily defeated several Cultivators, and then ventured into the mountain range.

Suddenly, a more vast landscape appeared.

Rolling mountains, Demonic Beasts occasionally soaring through the air, and strange-looking Demonic Beasts lurking in the forests, occasionally even some mercenaries and Herbalists could be seen.

Most shocking was that they saw a huge palace suspended among the clouds on the mountaintop, yet the NPCs along the way were accustomed to it.

These scenes were all long shots, and the game was not actually finished yet, but it had already given people an unprecedented shock.

The audience in the live stream was already numb with shock; this world view was indeed unique, with too many amazing things.

Finally, the protagonist arrived at the foot of the mountain, entered the Sect gate, underwent tests with others, and eventually passed the assessment to join the Sect.

At this point, the real-time demonstration ended, and the title appeared.

“mystical world: the rise of the weak”

“Phew…”

Midnight Gao Sou lay back in his gaming chair, his expression one of shock.

This game… it was too awesome!

In fact, the gameplay did not subvert his common sense.

However, the world view displayed in the video was truly refreshing, even shocking.

Boxing techniques that surpassed the limits of Wuxia, and Cultivation meditation methods that were almost commonplace.

All sorts of strange medicinal herbs and Demonic Beasts, and to put it broadly, an ecological chain completely different from the traditional ancient-style world view!

Majestic mountains, grand Sects, and palaces and pavilions like a fairyland.

Everything made Midnight Gao Sou itch with anticipation.

“Damn it, why do I still have to wait another day!”

The bullet comments also started to clamor:

“F***, turns out we still have to wait a day!”

“Damn competition rules, can't they release the game and the real-time demo simultaneously?”

“I can't wait, I want to play Xuanhuan World right now!”

“Ah ah ah ah!!!”

Having to wait another day was truly stifling!

...Meanwhile.

In the afternoon.

Modu, Illusion Dream Game Studio.

Jiang Feng leaned back in his boss chair, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He had infiltrated the live stream to observe the reactions of the netizens.

He found that everyone was captivated and eager to play the game.

He immediately felt relieved.

It's stable!

The game is stable!

If this game doesn't explode, then he, Jiang Feng, will jump from here!

“This is bad, Boss! This is really bad!!”

Just then, Liu Meiqin rushed over in a panic.

“That damned Antarctic Studio, they reported us to the organizing committee!”

Liu Meiqin's face was filled with anger.

“Antarctic Studio reported us?”

Jiang Feng was completely stunned.

No, what does it mean for the plagiarizer to report the plagiarized?

“They said our game has a bad orientation, that it’s not exposing the dark side of ancient times, but rather glorifying the violent power of ancient times, that it’s beautifying antiquity!”

Liu Meiqin was fuming, but she was also very worried inside.

Because she also realized that her own game seemed to really be beautifying antiquity?

“What does the organizing committee mean?”

“The organizing committee suppressed it and plans to deal with it based on the situation after the game is released. Boss, our game… is it really going to be over?”

Liu Meiqin almost cried; her husband's capital was almost all invested in the game!

“It's fine, don't worry, our game can definitely expose the dark side of ancient times.”

Jiang Feng didn't take it seriously.

He asked Liu Meiqin:

“Do you think that our game, where players gradually gain power and ascend to the Peak, is beautifying the cannibalistic society of ancient times?”

Liu Meiqin frowned: “Isn't it?”

Xuanhuan is ultimately a type of ancient style; the general social framework cannot be separated from ancient society.

And on this basis, introducing extraordinary power and the law of the jungle can very easily turn into glorifying antiquity, making players increasingly yearn for the power of those above all others and the barbarity of arbitrary killing.

But, what if we look at it from another perspective?

“Have you ever thought about what the player's identity is?

“They are a junior apprentice at a martial arts school, a newcomer who has just embarked on the path of Cultivation.

“Of course, in the future, I will open up more starting points, create more stories, and the player's identity might be very high, but there will always be someone higher than them.

“Even if power determines authority, and authority acts whimsically, players will absolutely not experience such whimsy for a long time. On the contrary, they are the cost of others' whimsy.

“Let me say it again, Xuanhuan World is a world where the strong prey on the weak, the entire society is dark, and players, after entering, are not powerful beings with heaven-defying abilities, but rather small figures, Mortals. They will directly confront this darkness, directly confront the law of the jungle that rarely appears in modern society.

“Tell me, are we glorifying the darkness of antiquity, or exposing it?”

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Liu Meiqin was stunned.

In fact, Jiang Feng had said this more than once, but this time Liu Meiqin had a deeper understanding.

Because she had also watched the live stream and seen the netizens' reactions.

Netizens were all attracted by Xuanhuan World, by the Sword Immortals, and by the Immortal Palaces in the clouds.

They wanted to enter the game to become Sword Immortals, live in Immortal Palaces, and even rebuke emperors and command civil and military officials like in the CG.

But when they actually entered the game, they would discover that they were the lowest-level Mortals… How profound would the impact of this be?

“This, can players really accept it?”

Liu Meiqin said blankly.

Jiang Feng took a sip of water and chuckled:

“Xuanhuan World is indeed dark, and indeed the strong prey on the weak, but it is also equally exciting, with countless Opportunities and countless paths to rise. Players who have experienced the law of the jungle and faced darkness, and then encounter these Opportunities and grasp the ladder to ascend, what will they do?

“Just watch, they will be immersed in this world.”

Xuanhuan World has darkness, but also brilliance; everything is laid bare, like a second world.

In his previous life, countless people were captivated by it, thought about it, and even went mad for it.

In this world without the concept of Xuanhuan, what kind of wave would it stir up?

Jiang Feng drank his water, watching the countdown.

Tomorrow was the release date of the demo.
