27: Will the human wave tactic win against the monks?

"mystical world: the rise of the weak" is a hit!

And it's a massive, explosive hit!

Initially embroiled in a plagiarism scandal, it roped in a bunch of streamers for live broadcasts, immediately maxing out its publicity.

Coupled with a very novel worldview and a unique power System, sales soared.

By now, it has actually sold over one hundred thousand copies!

The ancient style game competition has just begun, less than a day in, and this achievement is on par with major studios. For Illusion Dream Game Studio, it's astonishing.

And corresponding to the sales are... overwhelming negative reviews!

That's right, although Jiang Feng closed the official website's comment section, angry players left negative reviews on various platforms.

"I've never seen such a Heaven-Defying game!"

"This Jiang Feng simply doesn't know how to make games!"

"Was Jiang Feng bullied as a child? Is that why he makes games to bully players?"

"You mean, I completed the quest, raised my Rank, finally moved to the next stage, and then got instantly killed by someone else, right?"

"If you can't make games, can you just not make them?"

Seeing these negative reviews, Jiang Feng chuckled.

He only felt... the aggression needs to be stronger!

The players in this world are still too polite; even after being tormented to death, they only grumble a little.

Of course, this is also because the Xuanhuan World's inherent strength is indeed very high, and these people are willing to endure the suffering.

"Boss, do we really not need to address these negative reviews?"

Assistant Liu Meiqin looked at the negative reviews, her fingers flying across the keyboard, twelve strokes per second, instantly flooding the screen with positive reviews.

She alone was an army.

"What's there to panic about? We're not the only ones getting negative reviews. Look, Antarctic Studio's new update also got a large number of negative reviews."

Jiang Feng was quite cheerful, even having the leisure to pay attention to his competitor.

Coincidentally, Antarctic Studio's update content was completely opposite to theirs.

Xuanhuan World introduced even stronger Cultivators, letting players know there's always someone better.

Antarctic Studio, on the other hand, let players freely enjoy the thrill of ruling a small town.

Antarctic Studio was very confident in its update content and spent a lot of money on promotion.

As a result, many players, after playing, commented:

"It's only fun for half an hour, then it gets too boring."

"I've been playing 'fun' games for so many years, and they're still doing this? Boring."

"My review: not even as good as a single hair from Xuanhuan World."

"Yes, I'd rather go back to Xuanhuan World and continue getting abused."

"Are you a masochist? By the way, what game is this Xuanhuan World?"

Many players who were drawn in by Antarctic Studio's promotion actually flowed towards Xuanhuan World.

Out of over a hundred thousand sales, Jiang Feng dared to say that at least thirty thousand relied on Antarctic Studio's promotion!

He also heard that the person in charge of Antarctic Studio was so angry he almost ended up in the hospital.

"Xuanhuan World is a very exciting world. The law of the jungle is the basic rule, and players are indeed extremely weak at the beginning and inevitably suppressed. But I said from the start, making players suffer is not the ultimate goal."

Jiang Feng chatted with Liu Meiqin, his legs crossed.

Meanwhile, the System had collected a lot of emotional value again, which Jiang Feng once more used for an update.

"With this update, we will completely open up the mountain range map outside the town, including the medicinal herbs, Yao Beasts, Treasure Troves, and so on. As long as players aren't stupid, they should know that if they can't win, they should run. If they hide in a mountain gully for a while, they'll naturally be able to turn the tables."

Jiang Feng looked at his System, feeling a bit helpless.

Actually, the game mechanism he most wanted was time acceleration, to let players quickly experience what it's like to Cultivate in seclusion for decades, and what it's like for a century to pass in the blink of an eye.

However, this mechanism required too much emotional value to implement. Jiang Feng calculated that it would probably take a million copies sold to achieve it.

Even maintaining the current sales trend, it would take ten days to satisfy.

With no other choice, Jiang Feng had to add more Opportunities in the mountains outside the town, allowing players to quickly improve, lest they really get abused into quitting the game.

Say it quickly, thank Jiang Feng.

Soon, Xuanhuan World released another update.

"Update Content: Efeng Mountain Range!"

"To the east of Qinghe Town, there is a continuous mountain range, rich in mineral deposits, medicinal herbs, Yao Beasts, and various Opportunities left behind by previous Cultivators. This mountain range is named Efeng Mountain Range!"

"After this update, the Efeng Mountain Range will be fully opened, and players will be able to explore freely!"

"Note: You can return to Qinghe Town at any time and exchange the resources you found in the mountains with merchants."

"Brothers, it's updated!"

Old Potato's eyes lit up when he saw the update content.

The live stream's bullet comments immediately became lively:

"Old Potato, didn't you say you weren't playing anymore?"

"Didn't you say it was frustrating to play?"

"Yeah, weren't you going to uninstall the game?"

Seeing the teasing in the bullet comments, Old Potato's old face flushed, and he argued:

"I can't help it, there's no substitute on the market. Xuanhuan World is just that special."

"Antarctic Studio's 'turbulent times warrior' tried to follow suit with an update, and wow, it directly let you crush the entire town. It was fun, but it lacked that 'flavor'."

Old Potato himself wasn't quite sure why he continued to play Xuanhuan World after being abused so much.

Actually, this was because Xuanhuan World's unique, systematic worldview made the plot development very natural. Even if he was instantly killed by a powerful Cultivator, Old Potato was only momentarily annoyed, and wouldn't feel it was the developer's malice.

On the contrary, he would constantly ponder how to break the stalemate.

Before the update, Old Potato, Xiao Daidai, and Midnight Gao Sou thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how to break the stalemate.

Now with the update, Old Potato instantly had an idea:

Leave the town!

That's right, since we can't beat them, let's just run!

As long as we hide in the mountains and level up properly, won't we be able to turn the tables after coming out?

Thinking of this, Old Potato couldn't help but chuckle, rubbing his hands, wanting to call Midnight Gao Sou and Xiao Daidai to play together.

But at this moment, the bullet comments once again erupted:

"Holy cow, someone triggered a hidden plot!"

"Goodness, I really didn't expect that, you can actually play like this..."

"Haha, this time it wasn't Old Potato who triggered the plot, nor was it Xiao Daidai."

What? A hidden plot?

Old Potato quickly followed the bullet comments to check the stream.

It was a strategy game streamer similar to a mage, named "Watermelon Prince."

At this moment, Watermelon Prince was surrounded by a crowd of people, including martial arts disciples, some militiamen and laborers from Qinghe Town, totaling several hundred people, with more constantly arriving from afar.

Watermelon Prince was rallying them: "Everyone, let's fight against the Cultivators of Duan Kong Cave! After we defeat them, I will announce the Cultivation Technique, and everyone will be able to Cultivate. Then we won't be afraid of those high and mighty Cultivators!"

Well, Watermelon Prince actually wanted to use a human wave tactic!
