Chapter 16 I absolutely, absolutely cannot fall.
Chapter 16 I absolutely, absolutely cannot fall.
[If you're bad at cooking, practice more.]
You've already cried.
[My dear father, Noelle is truly cursed to have you as her father.]
[Can't even protect his own daughter, what a loser]
I remember Noelle had a father in the story.
"That's just her biological father; I'm her real father!"
Shui Wuyue shouted, her face flushed red.
Looking at the screen full of mockery and ridicule, he said bitterly, "Everyone says I'm bad, right? Everyone thinks I'm not fit to be a father, right?"
"Alright, then I'll prove to you that I'm the only man most suitable to be Noelle's father!"
"I won't end the stream until I defeat this boss!"
[You said you didn't unfollow.]
[Just kidding, I don't actually follow them. I just happen to see them when I happen to come across them.]
[Screen recording completed.]
After making his tough statement in front of thousands of spectators, Shui Wuyue began his struggle.
but.
Without [Holy Light Burst], and without researching cooking to give Noelle a buff, and even refusing to explore the map to acquire new passive skills...
Trying to defeat this enhanced version of the Forest Lord by sheer brute force is no easy feat.
Therefore, Shui Wuyue is caught in the most difficult battle since its birth.
He fought from day to night, and from midnight to dawn.
The viewers in the live stream have changed batch after batch, and the staff responsible for reviewing the live stream have also changed countless times.
Three days passed quietly.
Shui Wuyue's already deathly pale face became even more unsteady, as if he would suddenly die at any moment.
This is normal, because he had already spent three days preparing for the game before even starting to play it.
The first three days and the last three days add up to six days.
Many of his longtime fans sent messages in the live stream urging him to end the broadcast and take a break, but he ignored them all.
Although he usually stays up for three or four days at a time.
But to stay up for six or seven days straight, especially while maintaining high concentration on playing games—an activity that is both energy-consuming and emotionally volatile—is...
Even though he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was already nearing his limit.
"I can still hold on..." Shui Wuyue said weakly, "I absolutely, absolutely cannot fall down before helping Noelle win."
It must be said that after three days and nights of relentless struggle, he was indeed close to the dawn of victory.
The Lord of the Forest has three stages.
The third stage is the easiest.
The first stage involves dealing with hard crowd control without the [Holy Light Burst], and this step took Shui Wuyue the longest.
After nearly a day of practice, Shui Wuyue finally learned how to forcibly break free of control through manipulation.
However, he cannot achieve 100% success.
In the second phase, the Lord of the Forest will summon a group of monsters.
In the original game, the summoned monsters were weak and harmless, like slimes.
Chu Xiao made some minor modifications to this.
The current Lord of the Forest will summon more powerful monsters such as Fire Fox, Swamp Frog, and Sword Mountain.
As a result, Shui Wuyue was naturally tortured to the point of near death.
Fortunately, perseverance paid off. After three days of fierce fighting, Shui Wuyue finally defeated the Forest Lord and brought him to the final stage.
During his previous explorations, he acquired the "Blood Rainbow Eyes," which allows him to see through monsters' health bars and magic power.
So when Shui Wuyue saw that the BOSS only had a sliver of health left, she became excited as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
"Finally, I've finally done it."
"Quack, I'm not a maggot, I'm a useful old father!"
Shui Wuyue shouted, dodging the Forest Lord's sweeping attack, and charged forward wielding her enchanted staff.
He only needs to press A again, and touch it just a little more, and he will win.
However, just a second before his attack struck the Lord of the Forest, a figure blocked his way, or rather, blocked Noelle's way.
"This is……"
Shui Wuyue paused in her movements.
Because he recognized that the person blocking his way was Noelle's good friend, Isha.
Due to Chu Xiao's deliberate design, this game includes friendly fire.
Therefore, Shui Wuyue stopped because she was worried about hurting Yixia.
"Don't stop attacking, that's not me, uh, that's..."
Isha's reminder came from above, and Shui Wuyue reacted immediately.
But it was all too late.
The vines of the Forest Lord attacked from all directions, binding Noel tightly.
Shui Wuyue struggled anxiously, and in her haste, she made a mistake.
Seeing Noelle's failed struggle, the Forest Lord in plant form revealed a human-like smile.
He seemed to be mocking, saying, "My life-size Ishaan doll is quite accurate, isn't it?"
The scene then shifts, and a defeat cutscene slowly appears.
Shui Wuyue's expression changed rapidly as she watched this scene unfold.
His face went from red to purple to blue and then to white, and tears of self-blame, humiliation, and regret welled up in his eyes.
"So close, so very close! Damn demons, they took advantage of my kindness, ga-ga-ga-ga..."
Shui Wuyue cried out, then her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Time ticked by, and the live stream chat kept filling the screen, but Shui Wuyue remained silent.
[Holy crap, Sister Shui looks a bit like her.]
[Quickly call and report this to the Dao Alliance.]
[No, Sister Shui, who's going to watch my livestreams after you die?]
Sister Shui... he burned to ashes, leaving only snow-white ash.
RIP, may the streamer find peace in another world.
After realizing that Shui Wuyue had lost consciousness, all sorts of comments began flooding the screen.
Some mourned, some watched the spectacle, some took the opportunity to promote their livestreams, and some even decided to have sex with the corpse while it was still hot...
Amidst the chaotic barrage of comments, only a few true fans expressed genuine concern.
And there is another person who feels equally out of place and worried.
That's Chu Xiao watching the video.
"Hey buddy, I made you guys die in the game so the Soul Banner could absorb your souls, but I'm not making you actually die, okay?"
Looking at Shui Wuyue, who clearly wasn't faking fainting, Chu Xiao felt a little flustered.
If someone actually dies from playing his game...
That will inevitably lead to some marketing accounts that love to profit from tragedy spreading rumors and stirring up trouble, misleading uninformed onlookers.
While such rumors might not cause Chu Xiao any mental burden, they could more or less affect his future development in the gaming industry.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiao couldn't help but ask, "He's not really dead, is he?"
Liu Qiqi, who watched the full video, said, "Although I felt the same way when I saw this, he eventually came back to life."
"It's good that he's not dead, but how did he come back to life? Did the medical staff arrive in time?" Chu Xiao asked again.
"No..." Liu Qiqi's expression was a little strange. "You'll see for yourself in a moment."
Seeing that Liu Qiqi did not answer directly, Chu Xiao had no choice but to continue watching the video with doubt.
