7: You will definitely die in this game!!
“Something’s wrong, truly wrong…”
Liu Meiqin looked at the dimming screen and didn't immediately restart.
She calmed down and carefully considered her boss’s game design philosophy.
Players from the Huaxia Federation, accustomed to enjoyment, all came to games to have fun.
Even in ancient-style game competitions, even if the main theme was to expose the dark side of ancient times,
every developer would first let players enjoy themselves, then force a bad ending on them, display a few lines of text to moralize, and that would be considered hitting the theme.
Anyway, players would never be troubled throughout the game; the sense of enjoyment was maximized.
Like the champion of the competition before last, it seemed like a thrilling palace intrigue.
In reality, no matter what choices the player made, a wonderful butterfly effect would be triggered, and the harem's direction would follow the player's wishes.
Even if the player slapped the empress on the spot, the empress would be forcibly given a tolerant and magnanimous persona.
On one hand, it made players feel that the NPC reactions were real, while on the other hand, it quietly pleased the players.
Anyway, players didn't need to use too much brainpower to think.
Therefore, when Liu Meiqin realized that her boss was making an immersive ancient-style game,
and was truly building the underlying logic of the world view,
the expression on her face became extremely interesting.
“No way? Is the boss really that desperate?”
The original “heroes in troubled times” was also a grind-and-slash type of game; players would simply slaughter their way through the entire Jianghu, only to be forced into a defeat CG at the very end to hit the theme.
But now, “mystical world: the rise of the weak” actually took an immersive route.
NPCs don’t put up with you, player!
Didn’t she, Liu Meiqin, just say a few extra words and have a slight problem with her positioning?
Why was she directly killed?
Even in ancient times, it shouldn’t be this dark, right?
Which player would like such a world view?
Liu Meiqin muttered to herself, but curiosity welled up in her heart.
Judging from the situation just now, the Young man in black who slapped her to death had an extraordinary status.
Even the Martial Arts Hall Old Master had to smile obsequiously.
More importantly, his slap carried a fierce wind; it was clearly the mark of a great martial artist, a top expert of the Jianghu.
But from the plot, this was clearly just picking two Disciples from the Martial Arts Hall.
This young man in Duan Kong Cave shouldn't be an extremely important figure.
Based on this, how many great martial artists are there in this Duan Kong Cave?
No, no, not great martial artists, but Cultivators!
The combat power of this Cultivator seems truly different from traditional Wuxia?
Liu Meiqin was curious and restarted the game.
This time, she learned her lesson, honestly following behind the attendants, standing behind everyone, not daring to make a sound.
Liu Meiqin was an honest person.
If it were another rash player, after restarting once, he would definitely rush at the Cultivator.
Then he would continue to restart... Liu Meiqin thought to herself, after this part of the story, she should start “Cultivation,” right?
Although she didn't know what Cultivation actually meant.
But judging from the Young man in black’s strength, it should be an ultimate Cultivation Technique.
When she plays until the grand finale, she should be able to withstand bullets with her Physical Body, right?
Hmm, being able to withstand bullets was the limit of Liu Meiqin’s imagination.
The traditional Wuxia limit was only being able to withstand muskets.
As for cannons, that was unimaginable.
“One by one, the Immortal of Duan Kong Cave wants to test your Spiritual Root.”
At this moment, the Old Master shouted.
He was clearly the most powerful person in the Martial Arts Hall, yet now he was like a minion.
And yet, no one found it problematic.
Spiritual Root?
Another unfamiliar concept.
Liu Meiqin curiously poked her head forward.
She thought it was to have everyone practice boxing to see their foundation.
Or to feel their bones to check their physical Aptitude.
However, the Cultivator’s testing method exceeded the limits of her imagination.
She saw that the Young man in black didn't even move his butt, he just stretched out his hand and released a gentle light.
Liu Meiqin’s eyes widened again.
In traditional Wuxia, there was the concept of Internal Energy, but it all circulated within the body.
Occasionally, some martial arts that could release Internal Energy, such as the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Six Meridian Divine Sword, were standard for great martial artists and were ultimate martial arts in a world view.
But now, a young man who came to recruit Disciples actually easily released “Internal Energy”?
Liu Meiqin couldn't help but become more curious about the “Xuanhuan” world view.
If the people at the bottom are so powerful, won't the Late Stage of the game collapse?
Liu Meiqin thought curiously.
The first Martial Arts Hall Disciple walked up, his face full of excitement and anticipation.
The Young man in black placed his hand on his forehead, and a warm light enveloped him.
He quickly raised his hand and shook his head again: “No Spiritual Root, unable to Cultivate.”
The Disciple's face instantly dimmed, and he walked down with a look of despair.
No Spiritual Root, unable to Cultivate?
What kind of strange setting is this?
Liu Meiqin found it novel, but she didn't feel any worry.
Are you kidding? She was the protagonist of the game; this was just a novice quest, how could she not pass it?
But soon, when it was Liu Meiqin's turn, the Young man in black also shook his head:
“No Spiritual Root, unable to Cultivate.”
Liu Meiqin was thunderstruck: “What? I can't Cultivate? What kind of joke is this?”
The Young man in black frowned.
The Martial Arts Hall Old Master quickly called out to her: “Hurry up and come down! Don't waste the Immortal's time!”
Liu Meiqin walked down in a daze, and she didn't recover until she was locked back in the confinement room.
No.
I didn't pass the novice tutorial?
No.
This game doesn't even have a novice tutorial!
Liu Meiqin's mouth twitched; she felt that the game her boss made might fail miserably.
Players received no positive feedback, but were suppressed everywhere; how could they continue to play?
No matter how grand your world view was, or how realistic the immersive experience was,
if there was no positive feedback and they were constantly abused, who would play?
“Sigh, what should I do if the boss wants to jump again?”
Liu Meiqin leaned against the cabinet, sighing.
Suddenly, an ancient black ring on the cabinet inexplicably slipped off, clinking and clattering as it fell beside Liu Meiqin.
The ring's appearance was very ordinary, with no patterns or decorations.
From its appearance, it looked like a ring made of black stone, with no value.
Liu Meiqin glanced at it and then looked away, not taking it to heart.
She thought it was just a small prop for embellishment, randomly generated by the AI.
She waited for a while, until the attendant came over again, and from his mouth, she learned that she would be confined for two more days.
Liu Meiqin chose to restart the game.
She tried a few more times.
Each time it was “No Spiritual Root, unable to Cultivate.”
Liu Meiqin was numb.
She directly exited the game, jumped out of the VR pod like a ruffled cat, and ran to Jiang Feng's side with a patter.
“Boss!!!
“Do you even call this a game?!!!
“This is completely unplayable!!!”
Jiang Feng looked at the ruffled Liu Meiqin, his gaze lingering on her constantly rising and falling chest.
After Liu Meiqin cursed for a while,
Jiang Feng put down his coffee cup and slowly said:
“Who said it’s unplayable?
“Why didn't you seize the Opportunity I designed for you?”
Liu Meiqin was stunned: “What Opportunity?”
