Lord Shenxiu
Chapter 709: After the Battle (Please Subscribe)
In the villa.
Zhong Shenxiu was organizing the video footage he had captured while browsing the gaming forums.
As expected, it was a complete mess there.
Although there were only about a hundred members, both their activity and the number of posts had exploded.
[The game graphics are extremely uncomfortable, strongly demand to lower the realism!]
[One chop and the blood splashes onto the face, into the eyes… I was petrified, sob sob… I finally realize now that I am a weak person…]
[Are you stupid? Isn't 100% realism good, and you still want it lowered?]
[No pics, no truth, haha... Show us the evidence if you dare!]
[I want to quit the game! Quit the game!]
…
In the face of these, Zhong Shenxiu just smiled and dismissed them with the attitude 'suggest all you want, taking the advice means I lose'.
For him, whether it was the game, the official website, or the servers in the villa... all were covered by mimetic concealment, making it a 'ghost game', and he was not afraid of subsequent reviews.
Actually, he suspected that even without this concealment, those players would find it hard to complain about anything because... indeed, no pics, no truth!
As for quitting the game?
Then just quit, as long as the reputation picks up, there will be plenty of people in the second and third rounds of testing!
As he knew, the prices of the VR glasses for this game had been skyrocketing, and there were even numerous counterfeit and fake products.
Zhong Shenxiu slowly scrolled and finally found a meaningful post:
[I'm just an old man with white hair: Regarding "Game Otherworld", why not change our attitude and treat it as a large-scale live-action outdoor summer camp, or multi-person transmigration!]
In this post, the old man with white hair first comforted those players who felt mentally stimulated and then analyzed the game from a rational perspective.
[I'm just an old man with white hair: … In conclusion, I think we can adopt a farming and conquest gameplay style, those who don't want to fight can switch to lifestyle, logistics, or scenic faction… We already have two bases, and can even farm our own fields, open up mines, and even create primitive versions of gunpowder and matchlock guns… At that time, lining up for distant gunshots will probably be more acceptable to many.]
[If I don't die, I'll keep riding the waves: No, I want to cultivate immortality! Technology route is heresy, ahhhh!]
[Ke Shanru Meng: Scram!]
[Wan Donglin: Scram!]
[Xiao Ye Wan Ling: Scram! Watch your formation below!]
…
[I'm just an old man with white hair: Well, I'll summarize the group battle gains… including various long swords, bows and arrows, leather armors, shields… these will be distributed according to contribution! Apart from these, inside Woniuzhai, there were tens of thousands of catties of wheat, rice, and various grains, as well as a few bandit captives... According to their statements, we found several hidden cellars full of gold, silver, and copper coins, and dungeons for keeping captives…]
[If I don't die, I'll keep riding the waves: What do we want captives for? Just kill them!]
[Lingling is a foodie: Gold and silver I get, but why captives among the bandits?]
[Hammy: They are obviously hostages, ready to extort from the wealthy landlords.]
[I'm just an old man with white hair: Normally that would be the case, but this time is different… In the deepest part of the dungeon, we found only one person, claiming to be a 'Martial Artist' named 'Yibo Yuntian Pudong Yun', who had opened a martial arts school in Three Elements City but got on the wrong side of Black Tiger Escort Agency. He was secretly captured and taken to Woniuzhai for interrogation, suspected of having a treasure map or something since this is often how game plots go…]
[Dinner is me: Why not just keep him in Three Elements City?]
[I'm just an old man with white hair: This person named 'Yibo Yuntian Pudong Yun' has a good reputation in Three Elements City and many allies who would try to rescue him, so he couldn't be kept in the city… and Woniuzhai seems to be an affiliate of the Black Tiger Escort Agency.]
"Fate, Indescribably Mysterious: Got it, the old trick of officials and bandits being in cahoots!"
"Little White: Doesn't that mean we've gotten ourselves involved with another power? No, we've initiated a mission chain? There's lots of experience to be gained, fantastic!"
"Old Man Just Gone Gray: That's right, more importantly, we've finally found the world's upgrade system, which is 'Ninth Grade Martial Artist, Ascend to Heaven in One Step'! It is said that high-grade martial artists can even move mountains and seas, possessing incredible abilities! This is a world with extraordinary powers! At the same time, Pu Dongyun has issued us a mission... but there's no prompt in the mission bar, probably not a main quest..."
...
Woniuzhai.
Inside a certain room.
"Yibo Yuntian Pudong Yun" lay dazedly on a large bed, his expression somewhat blank.
He had a very refined appearance that made people feel favorably at first sight; he was skilled in Pu Family Boxing, fiercely resisting when captured and seriously injured.
After being locked in a dungeon for some time, his injuries worsened.
Luckily, the day before yesterday, Woniuzhai had been breached, a group of strange folks took over, and he was released.
Furthermore, they sent a doctor to treat his illnesses and heal his wounds.
The doctor's skills were quite remarkable, almost miraculously rejuvenative, only his nickname was a bit odd, something like 'Dr. Wild Million Spirit', much weirder than Yibo Yuntian, quite baffling.
"How are you feeling today, Mr. Pu?"
The door opened, and a white-haired young man entered with the doctor.
Pu Dongyun recognized him—he was the leader of these strange people, named 'Jiang Shang'.
Jiang Shang played the game with a transmigrator's mindset and treated NPCs quite differently, feeling that their reaction to game names was unacceptable, he switched to his real name.
"Much better."
Pu Dongyun sat up with difficulty, forcing a smile.
"That's good..."
Jiang Shang let out a breath of relief internally. 'Dr. Wild Million Spirit' was just an intern and clumsy, but they had no more professional medical students left, so they had to make do.
"About the matter Mr. Pu requested, we've discussed it and are ready to comply."
Jiang Shang smiled, "We'll help you take revenge, and we'll save your daughter..."
"Revenge?" Pu Dongyun looked confused. "But I only asked you all to deliver a message to the city..."
'To players, a message delivery quest is nothing. Of course, it's better to make things bigger...'
Jiang Shang internally rolled his eyes.
"A message? That we can do." 'Dr. Wild Million Spirit' exclaimed with joy next to him: "Bro, aren't you being unfair? I've been treating you for so many days, aren't you going to give me some experience?"
After a battle, the players did gain some experience points, having brought terrifying shocks and impacts to their enemies.
Essentially, everyone had bought proficiency in the exotic language, including 'Dr. Wild Million Spirit'.
"Experience points? What are those? If the divine doctor wants compensation, I will do my utmost to find it for you!"
Pu Dongyun assured solemnly, a miraculous doctor was worth the price, not to mention that he had also saved his life!
"Experience is..." 'Dr. Wild Million Spirit' thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped himself in frustration: "Darn... how do I explain this to ancient people? I'm going mad!"
