Chapter 4 History Descends from the Sky, Wrath and Fury
Zhao Ming paused, then, by a twist of fate, chose to stay.
He glanced at it a few more times, then said dismissively, "The producer who released the first game is 'Chu Xiao'?"
"Heh, I just don't believe that an unknown newbie developer can actually make a game like this."
After saying that, he downloaded the game with a critical eye.
Unlike the Internet of my previous life, the Spirit Network downloads programs at a speed comparable to a rocket.
A few seconds later, the game was downloaded.
Zhao Ming immediately entered the game, intending to tear down its glamorous but false packaging.
"Start game... Hmm? I need to choose a difficulty level?"
Zhao Ming, who was focused on the game, saw the difficulty options.
"Casual, Normal, Nightmare, Immersive... are there four difficulty levels in total?"
Zhao Ming, a seasoned gamer, scoffed, "A gaming master like me can't stump anyone. Let's go straight to the highest difficulty."
He switched the difficulty to "Immersive" without hesitation, only to find that he couldn't click "Confirm".
[Unlock the 'Immersive' difficulty by sharing the game to a friend/group chat]
"Sharing is out of the question. Absolutely not." Zhao Ming said firmly.
"Even if I were to be stabbed to death by a flying sword while sitting at home, I would never forward this trash game to anyone else. Wouldn't that just ruin my reputation?"
Zhao Ming decisively abandoned this option and, as a second choice, selected the difficulty level of Nightmare.
After selecting the difficulty level, the game did not start immediately; instead, another window popped up.
"Is this ever going to end?" Zhao Ming was a little annoyed, but after seeing the text on the pop-up window, his expression became somewhat subtle.
[Enable 'Health Mode'? Note: If you are currently streaming, please check 'Yes'.]
"Ahem." Zhao Ming coughed and, with an upright and dignified expression, selected "No".
"If you want to criticize it, you have to understand it first, and I was definitely not live-streaming."
After you make your selection, the pop-up window disappears, and the game officially begins.
In the dimly lit cave, the protagonist, Noel, appeared.
"The visuals are more exquisite than I imagined," Zhao Ming said with some surprise. "And the characters are also very... cough cough, very beautiful."
He had initially thought it would be a low-quality game completely different from what was advertised, but judging from the opening, the game seems to actually have some merit.
Putting everything else aside, at least the character's model looks great.
"A bottle of water... a bulb of the lily of the valley, and the thorny, black-striped herb root. Okay, that's about it."
Noel's thoughts echoed in Zhao Ming's mind through a sound transmission array.
"There's even voice acting?" Zhao Ming was even more surprised.
That's right. When Chu Xiao was making the game, he used the principle of AI voice acting from his previous life and the vast spiritual power of the Spirit Network to give Noel a voice.
Since it's not consuming his spiritual energy, why bother saving it? Just go all out and finish it.
"My sister asked me to collect some materials, but what's missing... I think she said that if I have time, I should go and collect some gems."
"I remember... it was on the other side of the tunnel."
As the game's plot continues, Noel mentions guards and demons in his inner monologue.
"Demons? It seems the enemy in this game is definitely demons." Zhao Ming controlled Noel, waving his staff to smash the boulder blocking his path.
"Is this protagonist really that strong? Is he supposed to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the story?"
Zhao Ming continued forward, figuring out the character's movement and attack methods.
Incidentally, there is no real keyboard in this world, because the Spirit Network comes with a virtual keyboard that can be controlled by divine sense.
Following the game's instructions, Zhao Ming successfully collected the ore, and Noel's inner thoughts resurfaced once again.
"It's alright... The demon attack is over, we're safe now."
"Judging from this plot... this little girl seems to have been attacked by demons before? Demons really deserve to die, they don't even spare such a cute little girl."
Zhao Ming thought of the demons who harmed humans in reality and said bitterly.
This world of cultivation is not only inhabited by humans, but also by demons and other races.
Among them, demons and monsters are the mortal enemies of the human race, and their relationship can be described as irreconcilable.
As he thought about this, Zhao Ming controlled his character to run towards "home" on the map.
Nothing happened along the way.
Just as he was wondering if the game was really that simple, a bench appeared in front of him.
"Oh?"
Zhao Ming curiously controlled his character to sit on it.
Immediately, a menu popped up.
[Restore Life]
Repairing clothes
[Restore Mana]
Extinguish the flames of desire
[-Fast Movement]
[Return to base]
【-save】
"???"
Is this correct?
That doesn't make sense.
Zhao Ming stared at the words on the menu, stunned.
He understood the concepts of restoring life and preservation, but the others seemed rather illegitimate.
Wait, this game wasn't exactly serious to begin with?
That's fine.
Suppressing his curiosity, Zhao Ming closed the menu and controlled his character to jump down from the height.
As she fell from the sky, Noel's white skirt fluttered slightly.
Just as Zhao Ming was about to take a closer look, he discovered that Noel had covered his face with both hands.
"Tch, if you don't want me to see it, then don't. It's not like nobody wants to see it."
Zhao Ming grumbled disappointedly, when suddenly he noticed a monster he had never seen before in front of him.
"Demons? Why? There shouldn't be any demons around here." Noel's tense voice rang out.
"Is this what they call the demon race?"
Zhao Ming was an ordinary person who had only seen demons in pictures, and he immediately mistook the slime for a kind of demon he did not recognize.
"Is it time to fight?" Zhao Ming, who considered himself a pro gamer, rubbed his hands together, ready for battle.
If he can't defeat the demons in real life, how could he not defeat them in the game?
After Noel mentally prepared himself, the battle was about to begin.
Zhao Ming controlled Noel to unleash the magic [Pure White Arrow].
This so-called "Pure White Arrow" was actually modified by Chu Xiao using the first-tier water elemental skill "Ice Crystal Burst".
However, with such a drastic change, even the founder of this technique would be stunned for a moment and might not be able to recognize it at a glance.
The magic circle was successfully constructed, and the [Pure White Arrow] struck the slime.
After a few moves, the weakest slime in the game collapsed to the ground and died.
"Easy peasy, this game is too easy, watch me beat it in one life."
However, before Zhao Ming could be happy for long, an even larger slime fell from above.
Because it came so fast and Zhao Ming was not mentally prepared, he was unable to dodge in time.
next second...
History descended from the heavens, filled with fury and rage.
