Chapter 28 The more players die, the stronger he becomes.
Although Liu's father hadn't played many video games, he couldn't bear to see his daughter cry.
So he decided to take charge himself.
So what if you've never played a game? It's just a game, how difficult can it be?
No matter how difficult it is, can it really stump a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him?
Liu's father didn't believe it and directly downloaded the game "Persist to the End?"
"The game that kid Chu Xiao made, right? Let me take a look."
After the game was downloaded, Liu's father didn't think much of it when choosing the difficulty level.
He immediately chose the "Legendary" difficulty level, intending to showcase his gaming skills and stand up for his daughter.
"Oh? The main character of this game also has a daughter?"
As the story unfolds, Liu's father gains some understanding of the game.
"It looks like this is a game to play with your daughter."
"This mechanical arm is quite interesting; perhaps it's a low-level magical artifact?"
Mr. Liu played the game with a smile, showing no sign of tension.
Just as he was laughing the most, Chu Xiao's game finally revealed its long-hidden fangs.
Players who have played games made by Chu Xiao all share a common understanding:
If you find the game Chu Xiao makes easy and feel you've mastered it, then it means the next step...
The big one is coming!
Liu's father was unaware of this publicly available information, so when he was caught off guard and saw his daughter blown to pieces, he was completely stunned.
What do you mean by "I had a daughter who was adorable, loved me dearly, and was very lively, but suddenly she died"?
As a father himself, Mr. Liu easily empathized with the situation and became furious in an instant.
"What do you mean? What does this mean? Are you cursing my daughter to be blown up? You bastard, if you have a problem, come at me! Let go of my daughter!"
Mr. Liu expressed his inability to accept this outcome and manipulated the brigadier general to keep advancing, wanting to immediately tear the culprit who killed his daughter to pieces.
But what awaited him ahead was not a satisfying revenge, but rather...
One difficult and agonizing battle after another.
The sudden elevator attack startled Liu's father, but as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he reacted quickly enough and was not killed by Chu Jian.
Can……
Avoiding the first wave of attacks is only the beginning of this battle.
Over the next twenty minutes, Mr. Liu's mood gradually changed.
From initial indifference to a somber expression, and finally to understanding why his daughter was crying.
"What kind of lousy game is this? Games aren't made like this!"
Liu's father was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. If he had been practicing a technique based on the Blood Rage system, he would probably have been filled with Blood Rage by now.
"You brat, do you even know how to make games? What kind of game is this difficult? You're just torturing people!"
Unwilling to admit that he was bad at the game, Liu's father was furious and berated Chu Xiao, firmly believing that the fault lay not with him and his daughter, but with Chu Xiao, who was incompetent at the game.
If Chu Xiao heard this, he probably wouldn't be angry; instead, he would smile and nod in agreement.
Yes, he was indeed torturing people.
In the original Assassin's Creed, the first enemy players encountered was not this powerful.
If Chu Xiao doesn't make any changes and just copies it directly...
Even a player as inexperienced as Liu Qiqi's father would probably only die a few times before passing the test, so it wouldn't be that easy for him to reach the red temperature.
However, while players might enjoy dying only a few times, Chu Xiao would not.
After all, game developers in their previous lives had to consider the possibility of players dying too many times at the start of the game and having to refund players if the game reached a critical point.
But Chu Xiao doesn't need to consider such things.
Because his game was originally free, he wasn't worried about getting a refund.
Moreover, those players who are discouraged by the high difficulty at the beginning will still choose to give up when they reach the later, more difficult levels.
Chu Xiao is like that; he doesn't need to think too much when making games.
But it's different for players, because they not only have to be tortured to tears, but they also have to grit their teeth and keep playing while crying.
This is what is meant by experiencing pain and pleasure simultaneously.
In contrast, Chu Xiao only experienced happiness.
Because his power comes at the cost of the player's suffering.
The Primordial Spiritual Treasure, the Myriad Soul Banner, grows stronger the more players die.
Back to the point.
After dying several times, Liu's father finally grasped the essence and passed the first encounter.
"call……"
It felt like a heavy burden had been lifted, or a problem that had been accumulating for many years had been solved.
An indescribable feeling of lightness swept over his entire body, and Liu's father exhaled a heavy breath.
"You brat, this game you made is really bad," Liu's father scolded.
But perhaps even he himself didn't realize that a smile slowly appeared on his face.
This is the characteristic of highly difficult games—an incredibly strong emotional response.
Time and again, I was utterly crushed by the dung monster, tormented by unfamiliar mechanics, and killed on my first encounter by deliberately set traps...
These experiences can cause players to feel a strong sense of frustration.
Failure can both discourage and inspire people.
Some people always become more courageous after setbacks, and only those who persist in playing the game become more and more proficient.
One day, they will be able to defeat the enemy that has defeated them countless times.
This kind of victory will bring a sense of accomplishment that is so exhilarating it will make you feel like you're on cloud nine.
Liu's father couldn't escape the feeling of being torn between these emotions either.
So, having tasted success, Liu's father continued playing, determined to beat the game and stand up for his daughter.
but……
Not long after, Liu's father regretted his decision.
Because he has already pushed the plot to a true "tutorial level".
To be precise, it was once the tutorial level for the game "Dodge Assassins".
In other words, players control a brigadier general and engage in parkour challenges within the military base.
This parkour facility was a special facility used by the brigadier general to train soldiers during his service.
The brigadier general holds the record for this parkour facility—the fastest time.
In the original "Dodge Assassin", passing this level was not difficult because there was no strict time requirement.
Therefore, the purpose of this level is to help players become more familiar with the game.
But Chu Xiao didn't think so.
In his opinion, it would be a waste not to make these parkour levels extremely difficult.
Parkour and the like should be as difficult as possible.
Therefore, Chu Xiao made some modifications to this parkour routine.
He added a tiny bit of difficulty and a tiny bit of time limit.
—All the players need to do is surpass the Brigadier General's record from that year.
If they fail to do so, they will be surrounded and attacked by other soldiers in the base.
The reason for the siege was also very simple:
If a brigadier general can do something that you can't, doesn't that mean you're not a brigadier general?
Since he was a counterfeit, he should naturally be executed on the spot.
Therefore, all the players who have reached this point have experienced what it feels like to be at odds with the entire world.
