I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man - Chapter 204

c198 Even if the guidance has long been broken, please be the leader

Click in and take a look.

In the game type label, a strange word that I have never seen before comes into view.

AOWG (Action open world game)

“Action open world game? What is this?” Everyone in Czcu was dumbfounded.

I have been playing games for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen this type of game…

I do know the open ending.

That is, the final ending of a movie or novel is shown in blank space without adding detailed explanations, leaving room for the audience or readers to imagine.

It is mostly used to increase the staying power of the work.

If used properly, it will have a long-lasting aftertaste effect, which will be endlessly memorable.

But what the hell is this open world of yours?

Don’t make the game itself and let the players make it themselves?

No, no, no, this is too ridiculous… It’s impossible no matter how you think about it.

If this is not the case, how should we explain this word that we saw for the first time?

Czcu put aside his doubts and looked at the price again.

The price of this game is only 1/2 of “Shadowland”, priced at 100 dollars.

This price is based on the past pricing of major game manufacturers such as OMI.

If this were a 3D game.

Then it can only be an entry-level 3D game. Even entry-level 3D games are relatively cheap at the same price as Omi.

After all, after excluding the high share between the game platform and the publisher, the selling price of 100 meters makes it impossible to make much profit.

I really can’t afford the game company’s funds, and I won’t make much money even if it sells well, let alone if it doesn’t sell out.

Therefore, Czcu had lowered his expectations for the quality of the game when purchasing the installation.

After all, I heard it is in the style of Western fantasy.

What can a team from the East say about Western fantasy?

It’s hard to say.

Try it first!

After clicking on the game, a game cover illustration comes into view.

The overall tone is mainly gloomy and gray.

In an environment that looks like a cemetery.

A knight in silver armor, holding a sharp blade that penetrated the ground, knelt on the ground.

And around him, there was deathly silence.

There were many corpses lying everywhere.

Looking from a distance, the dense and opaque clouds are like a visual storm at this moment. The overwhelming rolling pressure brings a strong sense of oppression to people.

Whether it’s the towering lighthouse on the left or the snow-capped mountains on the right.

They were all shrouded in oppressive clouds, and no light could be seen.

In this opening illustration, the whole world seems to be out of order.

“Wow! I like this kind of composition with a strong dark fantasy style. It seems that the setting is very grand. It will give players an epic feeling before they even start playing.” Czcu simply praised.

But just a cover doesn’t mean much.

Exactly what it can be made of depends on the game itself.

Without hesitation, Czcu clicks to start the game.

Soon, CG appeared.

The narration with a deep and generous voice spoke slowly, as if reading a dark history book that was unbearable to look back on.

Xu Xu paints a picture of the junction for the players.

“…The fallen leaves brought a message:

On the other side of the fog, in our hometown “The Border”, the great Elden Ring has been broken——”

As the words fell, the static CG illustrations of the game also appeared.

The main body of the illustration is drawn in an oil painting style.

In the illustration, only a slender figure can be seen, with a naked upper body standing in front of a forging bench holding a strange-shaped heavy hammer.

It seemed like it was hitting something hard again and again.

Soon a crisp sound of ‘bang’ was heard.

Then, the sky was covered with golden light, and the light covered the entire sky, including a magnificent castle below.

“This should refer to the destruction of Elden’s ring, but what exactly is this ring? Who is the person who broke the ring? Judging from the pattern given by CG, the energy contained in this ring seems to be It is endless, and when it is broken, it can change the color of the world.” While watching the CG, Czcu simply provided a companion reading for the audience based on his own game experience.

At this time, the voice of the narrator sounded again.

Accompanied by a slight excitement, his voice had a slight vibrato.

“”Eternal Queen” Malika disappeared.”

The illustration that follows in the picture is of a half-naked woman with slender arms, wearing only a very thin nightgown.

But her appearance at this time was very weird.

He was in the judgmental shape of Jesus being crucified, with his head lowered and unable to tell the difference between life and death.

“On the night of the Black Knife Conspiracy, the “Golden Monarch” Godwin was the first to lose his life.”

Immediately afterwards, the scene changed again.

A powerful king knelt on his knees.

Behind him, surrounded by many assassins dressed in black gauze, inserted black daggers one after another into his strong body. One of them penetrated straight from the back and penetrated his heart.

The two illustrations seem to explain the situation of the two important rulers of the kingdom.

Soon, the narrator began to read again, revealing the subsequent fate of the kingdom.

“The demigods, sons of Malika, have obtained the fragments of Elden’s Ring.

But because of that power, he went astray, fell into madness, and triggered a fragmented war…

This is a war in which no new king is born.

It is a war abandoned by the supreme will——”

At this time, the magnificent symphonic background sound gradually reached its extreme.

The narration became even more excited and high-pitched, with a constantly trembling voice and a high-pitched voice full of emotional appeal.

“Oh~! Let’s go, faded ones——

O dead people who cannot sleep forever!

The blessing we lost so long ago is calling out to all!

“King of the Wilderness” Holly Lou,

Brilliant golden mask,

“Death Sleeping Girl” Fia,

The despised dung-eater,

“Sir Bai Zhi” Gideon Ofnir”

Following the passionate introduction of the narration, a group of big-name faders appeared to be full of cards, and their personal oil paintings also flashed by one after another.

Just the next moment.

The magnificent symphony fell silent, and the narrator’s excited voice gradually became lower and his mood became calmer.

In the dark scene that followed, a light particle emitting extremely weak light floated slowly.

Finally, it landed on a seemingly ordinary palm.

“There is another one who is blessed once again——

An unknown fader. ”

At this time, the picture finally changed from a static oil painting to a dynamic 3D animation.

The nameless faded man was awakened by the blessed light, slowly stood up in a land of emptiness and chaos, and walked to a thick stone door in two steps.

Using his arms continuously, he slowly pushed the heavy door open.

A ray of bright golden light came through the crack of the door, and the light was as dazzling as gold.

“Go through the sea of ​​fog, reach the junction, and see the Eldon Ring——

And become the King of Elden! ”

As the last paragraph of the narration came out, the name of the game slowly emerged along with several large golden and red intertwined ring LOGOs.

【Elden Ring】

This piece of CG only lasts about three minutes.

And it’s not dynamic, it’s just a static rotation of multiple oil painting-style illustrations.

But it made Czcu look straight in the eye.

“This is very cool!!”

“This CG is really impressive!”

“Brothers, whether it’s the cover or the opening CG, Ready Player One, a game company, has done a very good job of interpreting this epic feel beyond my expectation. It even has the flavor of our Western fantasy.”

“Think about it, a crumbling country full of chaos and disorder. Countless demigods compete for the so-called Ring of Elden for the right to dominate the new era, but in the end no one can win.”

“In the end it’s up to us, the nameless faders.”

“This kind of story looks like the story of an unknown person who grows up and finally ascends to the throne, challenging heroes from all walks of life along the way. The process of his growth and experience itself is writing a majestic dynasty revival history!”

“How come I’m already looking forward to it even before I start playing? Come on! Please don’t let me down!”

Not only Czcu, but also many viewers spoke highly of this CG.

Praise words such as ‘good’ and ‘cool’ filled the screen constantly.

I am used to seeing all kinds of big scenes and exquisite CG, but the actual experience is seriously inconsistent with the game itself.

CG can be achieved using superb rendering technology, but the game itself cannot be as detailed as CG in every aspect.

Therefore, CG that is too gorgeous can sometimes have the opposite effect.

But the immersion brought by “Elden’s Circle” is outstanding.

It is refreshing to have the narrator narrate the content in a story-telling way, just like flipping through a legendary story.

“And the people mentioned in the CG are likely to be the opponents that players will encounter in the future.” Czcu said with a slightly excited smile.

He couldn’t say why.

But this approach of ‘only telling you that he has a title’ and ‘he looks very powerful’ does not reveal any relevant content to you.

On the contrary, it will create a powerful sense of mystery for players.

One can’t help but look forward to what kind of fierce confrontation will happen when they meet them later.

After the CG, a preview for selecting the character type pops up.

This link is very different from many Western fantasy games.

Czcu didn’t waste much time either.

After some thought, he chose the safer Wandering Knight.

There are fewer blue bars, but the health and energy bars are relatively stable, especially the energy bar, which is the longest among the top ten professions.

Czcu, who has played many action games, knows that the energy bar is often related to how many actions the protagonist can perform in a short period of time and how far he can run.

Equipment.

The Wandering Knight starts with a long sword, a halberd, and a wooden shield.

After the character selection was completed, with a flash of light, the game screen finally entered.

Countless spectators also cheered up and looked at the screen.

The nameless faded one controlled by Czcu is born in a dark chapel.

The door in front was closed tightly, and the tables, chairs and benches around were swaying in a chaotic manner, as if a fierce battle had occurred here before.

At the end of the line of sight, there is also a humanoid corpse that looks dead.

Huddled in the corner, purple light emitted from his body.

When Czcu operated the faded person, he stepped forward to find out.

Only to find out that it was a person who looked like a dead witch.

Wearing a simple robe, the hood went over his head to cover his face.

In front of her, a string of white characters was left on the ground.

Czcu originally thought it was a guide for newbies or something.

But after clicking to view it, I found that it was a passage with unclear meaning.

It seems to be left behind by this dead witch.

“Even if the guidance has long been broken, please be the King of Elden.”

Later, Czcu collected another purple-quality prop from the dead witch.

[Old Finger of the Faded: Able to write messages and spread them to other worlds. 】

Not knowing how to use it for the time being, Czcu put it away and looked around again.

There is not much else to explore in this small, dark chapel.

Immediately, he walked towards the closed door of the auditorium and pushed it open.

There was a creaking sound from the heavy door.

“Wow!” The sight in front of him made Czcu couldn’t help exclaiming, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

In front of him, at the end of his sight.

There is a golden tree that connects directly to heaven and earth.

Even looking across the mountains and sea, you can feel how strong the tree trunks are.

The lush branches and leaves also emit golden light, growing overwhelmingly in all directions, as if supporting the sky.

The extraordinarily dazzling light is incompatible with the entire surrounding gray-green sky environment, like the sun dispelling the darkness of the night.

The appearance of this huge giant can bring people the most direct visual shock.

The place name of [Hou Wang Chapel] also appears.

However, it didn’t take long for Czcu to sigh with the audience in the live broadcast room.

Haven’t taken two steps yet.

“Tum!!”

A very strange-looking species falls from the sky, throwing up a circle of dust and mist, blocking the player’s path.

It was a creature that looked like a crab.

But after careful observation, Czcu suddenly got goosebumps all over his body!

To be precise, it was a person who looked like a crab!

Eight articulated legs grow outward around the bloated body, and they move like a crab moving quickly from side to side.

But if you look closely, you can clearly see that those eight legs are all human limbs!

It was pressed against this ugly species like an amputation.

But unfortunately, he wore an exquisite noble crown on his head.

Unlike all the games Czcu has played before, the clown is a goblin, a goblin, a skeleton, a zombie, etc.

This very weird sense of delicacy combined with his ugly appearance gave birth to an ugly aesthetic called grotesque.

Soon, the ‘crab’ finally showed his health bar in front of Czcu.

[Descendants of “limb-replacement” nobles]

“Is this… a teaching BOSS for newbies?” Czcu muttered, but his eyes were already serious.

One person and one BOSS circled outside the small circular square in the center of the Prince’s Chapel.

After observing the BOSS’s moves, Czcu’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

No……

This is not a tutorial BOSS for newbies.

This BOSS looks like a guy who will only appear in the later stages.

He moves very fast, and because of his eight legs, his movement is also extremely agile.

The damage is equally high.

On the other hand, looking at the faded one he controlled, his pitiful health bar could be cut in half with just two sword strikes.

How the hell could this be a novice tutorial arranged for players…

as expected.

After being hacked to death by the Crab BOSS with several random knives.

The blood-red words “game over” appear.

But what followed was another cutscene that had never been seen before.

“OK, this should be a plot kill.” Czcu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled lightly in front of the audience who were also dumbfounded.

“Let me just say, a BOSS like this is one of the ultimate BOSSs in the later stage. It is just placed in the early stage to scare players.”

“After all, it’s impossible for any game to put a late-stage BOSS in the first level for players to fight.”

Thanks to the boss of ‘The 14th Alibaba’ for the 5,000 book coins reward! !

Thank you very much, boss! Kowtow to the boss! Bang bang bang bang! !

The boss spent a lot of money, but the book is in the later stage, and the potential is here, and the results cannot be improved. I still suggest that readers, bosses, don’t give rewards. 50 yuan is enough to read a new million-word novel. Yes, there is really no need to reward.
