17: The anchor enters the game, I'm going to kill!

The game title was unremarkable, with nothing particularly striking.

But soon, the screen changed.

Layers of clouds appeared on the black screen, followed by a sonic boom, as a white-robed Cultivator flew on a sword, even circling in mid-air.

He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, full of heroic spirit.

“Brothers, Huan Meng seems to have done quite well; this opening interface is very innovative.”

Midnight Gao Sou grew even more excited and quickly entered the character creation interface.

As a straight man, Midnight Gao Sou didn't waste much time, directly choosing body scan to upload his physical data.

His name also remained “Midnight Gao Sou.”

“Alright, starting now, ahem… Hello everyone, I am Gao Sou! Today we’re going to play Xuanhuan World!”

After his signature opening, Midnight Gao Sou rubbed his hands in anticipation.

Would the game made by Huan Meng revolutionize the gaming landscape, or would it become a joke for the entire industry?

It all depended on today!

Whoosh!

The game screen changed, like a scroll being unrolled.

The next moment, a series of images flashed before Midnight Gao Sou's eyes.

This was a flashback sequence introducing the protagonist's background.

“Hmm, let's see… ‘Martial arts apprentice, offended Senior Brother during the last competition, so he was confined for three days. There are still two days left until he can get out.’

“In this situation, Brothers, even if Gao Sou abides by the law, I can't abide by this kind of law. Let's see what we have on us and prepare to break out.”

“Oh? Starting with a mastered skill?”

Midnight Gao Sou immediately checked the protagonist's status.

There was no extra UI interface; he could only see the mastered skills in his mind.

【Qinghe Town Basic Fist Art】

【Mortal Rank Low】

【Rumored to have been created by a Martial Master in Qinghe Town, it later gained fame and was crowned as Qinghe Town's unique skill, attracting dozens of admirers each year.】

“Brothers, this protagonist's status isn't high; it's just a fist art, and from the description, it doesn't seem too strong.”

“You ask about this Rank? I don't know either; it just shows Mortal Rank Low. What comes after that doesn't seem to have been released yet.”

“Never mind that, I'll check the surroundings first.”

Midnight Gao Sou glanced around.

It was a small storeroom, with no windows, only a small door, filled with cabinets and miscellaneous items. He could only huddle by the door, unable to stretch his limbs.

Even worse, the air was filled with a foul odor, like a mixture of sweat and dirty rags, making him cough a few times.

“Brothers, this place is truly not fit for a human.”

“According to the background, the protagonist still has to stay here for two days. Isn't this a joke?”

“Although I, Midnight Gao Sou, am law-abiding, it's clearly Senior Brother who has a problem, not us. The plot definitely wants us to break out.”

Midnight Gao Sou searched around and found a heavy mop. He slammed it against the wooden door, and it actually broke open.

By the time he strolled out of the storeroom area and reached the other end of the martial arts hall,

A servant happened to run over to find him. Seeing the wooden door open, he was completely stunned.

At this moment, Midnight Gao Sou was like someone who had skipped the tutorial, not knowing who he was, not knowing where he was, but knowing he was about to go on a rampage.

“Brothers, this Senior Brother has a grudge with me, so the first one to deal with is definitely him!”

“Hehe, I tried it, and the combat assist made by Huan Meng is not bad. Combined with my martial arts foundation, this Qinghe Town Basic Fist Art looks quite decent. I wonder when I'll get the fist art from the actual gameplay demo.”

Midnight Gao Sou walked on the marble slab, occasionally punching the wooden wall beside him, his eyes constantly scanning around.

“I have to say, although Huan Meng is a small studio, the quality is still good. At least I haven't found any immersion-breaking elements; it's completely a real-life experience.”

Midnight Gao Sou sighed at the quality of the game.

At this moment, a series of footsteps came from behind him.

Four servants ran over with wooden sticks, and the leader looked at him and shouted angrily:

“Midnight Gao Sou! How dare you leave the confinement room without permission!”

“Brothers, time to farm monsters!”

Midnight Gao Sou's eyes lit up. He had searched around and couldn't find anyone, and was just worrying about having no place to practice.

Immediately, without waiting for the servants to say anything more, Midnight Gao Sou directly attacked!

Ha!

He let out an angry shout, punching the leading servant. The Qinghe Town Basic Fist Art was unleashed, directly knocking the servant down.

The remaining three servants were stunned, not expecting Midnight Gao Sou to be so decisive, and his strength was also much greater than it had been a day ago.

Midnight Gao Sou quickly adjusted his body, using the momentum of his forward rush to directly close in on the second servant, also punching him in the abdomen.

At this point, the remaining two servants reacted and quickly swung their wooden sticks.

Midnight Gao Sou indeed had real kung fu. He performed a backflip on the spot, narrowly dodging the attack.

Then, with one hand on the ground, he flipped up, unleashing a rapid succession of double punches, one left and one right, knocking down the servants.

“Awesome!!”

Midnight Gao Sou stood straight, exhaling.

The combat System was very fluid, not only identical to reality, allowing movement of fingers, wrists, elbow joints, upper arms, etc., but also featuring an action assist System that enabled him to smoothly execute the Qinghe Town Basic Fist Art.

“Huan Meng's technology is good; this experience is almost on par with a major studio.”

Midnight Gao Sou rubbed his fists, chuckling.

【Holy cow, streamer, you really know martial arts?】

【Amazing, one person took down four.】

【Wait a minute, are you sure these four servants are monsters to be defeated? Not some beginner mentors?】

【Didn't you see the servants take out wooden sticks first? It must be combat instruction.】

Midnight Gao Sou grabbed a servant and asked fiercely, “Speak! Where is Senior Brother?!”

He had already designated Senior Brother as the boss.

The servant was terrified: “He's, he's in the main hall. A Cultivator Immortal has arrived, everyone is over there. I was also coming to inform you, I really wasn't trying to hit or scold you!”

The servant was on the verge of tears; he had truly been beaten for no reason.

Midnight Gao Sou also felt a bit awkward. He was a person of morality, so he immediately apologized to the four servants.

After apologizing, he helped the four of them stand up.

At this moment, one of the servants suddenly ran wildly towards the main hall.

As he ran, he shouted:

“It's bad! It's bad! Midnight Gao Sou is causing trouble!!”

Midnight Gao Sou stared blankly at the person.

【Haha, streamer, you shouldn't have apologized to them.】

【This is clearly an NPC from the hostile faction, just kill him.】

【The streamer is still too polite. See, he let the tiger return to the mountain.】

【More monsters should spawn next, right? Haha.】

The audience in the live stream laughed, but didn't think there was anything wrong with what Midnight Gao Sou did.

In their opinion, the servants' strength was very poor, and the streamer's strength was very strong, so even if a dozen more came, he could easily deal with them.

Blasting through the game like a brute, that was Midnight Gao Sou's live stream characteristic.

A servant snorted coldly: “Today, an Immortal has come to our Qinghe Martial Arts Hall to take disciples. You deliberately broke out of the confinement room and even hit and scolded us. Isn't it just to cause a big scene and displease the Immortal, so as to bring calamity upon the martial arts hall? Midnight Gao Sou, I never thought you were such a despicable villain!”

Midnight Gao Sou was completely dumbfounded.

This plot development seemed a bit off. He seemed to have prematurely incurred the hatred of the entire martial arts hall, and the upcoming battles would be difficult.

But soon he realized, wasn't this creating a good show?

He chuckled: “Come, take me to the main hall. I want to meet that Immortal.”
