I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man - Chapter 208

c202 The charm of the suffering game is beginning to appear! Unprecedented

A small camp [in front of the level].

After two deaths, Lao Ju estimated that there were at least ten people lurking here.

Changing the style of play, this time Lao Ju no longer swaggers in, but double-teams from the flank.

Sure enough, they saw Grek soldiers scattered in twos and twos.

Most of them were standing next to some carts or barrels, or there were bushes as cover.

In addition, the colors of the clothes are earthy yellow and dark green. If you don’t look carefully when you first enter this place, it is really easy to be disguised by them.

Moreover, the inverted triangular brass shields held by these soldiers seemed to be very finely polished and not crudely made.

After trying to attract the hatred of a soldier, Lao Ju turned around and pulled away.

When he was taken to an open space alone, he turned around and slashed with his sword.

Immediately raise your shield, wait for the opponent to attack, get into a defensive posture, and knock off the opponent’s toughness bar with one shield!

Then he connected with a jumping chop, and after landing, he slashed with both forehand and backhand swords.

Just do it!

“The soldiers are better equipped than the soldiers we met just now, and their health is thicker, but it’s not that difficult to defeat them one by one.” Lao Ju calmed down and went to the camp to start arousing the hatred of another soldier.

Follow the same pattern, take the opponent to an open space not far away, and then kill him 1v1.

Seeing that Lao Ju was serious about the strategy, the voices of doubt in the barrage were much quieter, and they all watched carefully.

for any player.

As long as you carefully go through the novice tutorials and face the 1v1 of this kind of humanoid monster, if you abandon contempt and concentrate on dealing with it, you can basically win steadily.

Not long after, Lao Ju had steadily eliminated three soldiers. After obtaining a certain number of runes, he set his sights on the fourth man.

This time, it’s a little trickier.

Because there is a wolf next to the soldier.

The two are tightly bound, and no matter which one attracts the attention, the other will arrive immediately.

Moreover, the wolf, which seems to be less of a threat, actually has faster movement speed and swift attack speed.

On several occasions, Laoju tried to attack the soldiers.

As soon as he raised his hand, the wolf pounced on Lao Ju and interrupted Lao Ju’s attack, and bit back, causing the faded person to stagger.

The soldier also took the opportunity to raise his hand and strike with another knife.

Ah Tui’s blood volume dropped by half in an instant.

In other games, the difference between half health and full health is not big, especially when some games have invincibility protection when losing health.

But in the “Elden” magic circle, once the blood volume exceeds half, the player’s sense of crisis will become even higher.

Because if you are not careful, half of your health bar may be cleared instantly in the next second, and you will die on the spot!

Wang Laoju, who changed from the reckless play style just now, carefully rolled back to distance herself, raised her hand to drink blood to fill the blood line, and at the same time changed the attack target.

Since the wolf is so difficult to deal with, kill the wolf first!

There is a locked mechanic in Elden.

After locking the enemy, the next attack does not need to be aimed. Whether it is melee or long-range, the angle will be automatically adjusted towards the enemy.

Lock on the wolf’s head, and before it launches an attack, strike out with one strike!

After hitting a hard straight, he decisively added a second consecutive shot.

The wolf’s body is more fragile than the soldier’s, and he dies quickly.

Then comes the familiar 1v1 session.

Relying on careful tactics, Lao Ju eliminated two more groups of enemies.

At this time, there was only one sentry and another soldier captain left on the frontal battlefield.

Lao Ju swaggered directly into the camp.

Seeing this, the sentry quickly took out his horn and blew it.

But except for the soldier captain not far away who turned back, no one else came to help.

The captain carried a red-tasseled broadhead gun with a domineering appearance, and was also equipped with a thick-looking golden shield in his left hand. The shield was wide enough to protect the entire soldier behind him.

Wang Laoju, who had suffered many hardships, did not dare to neglect. After killing the sentry with a few blows, she could finally start to fight head-on with the captain who looked not easy to mess with.

Although it was said that it was completely broken, the scene was very funny.

I saw two players on the field each holding a shield to protect their chests. Both of them stared at each other and walked slowly in a circle, looking as happy as two people spinning.

After waiting for a while, she found that the other party was still unwilling to make a move, so Wang Laoju couldn’t help but strike out with her knife.

“Dang!”

After the sharp blade hit the thick golden shield, it flicked out as expected.

The opponent was so subtle that he seemed to be a real person. He seized the opportunity, stepped forward and stamped his feet violently, and then fired a sharp shot against the side of the shield!

“Pfft!”

One shot gives half blood!

Wang Laoju’s eyes suddenly widened, and the painful memories from the tree guard began to attack him again.

Rolling backwards in a hurry.

But because my hands were shaking and my mind was confused, I rolled three times in a row.

As soon as he got up, the opponent ran and charged again, and shot out again!

Lao Ju hurriedly raised his shield to defend.

But three rolls had already consumed half of the energy, and the remaining energy could not block this blow at all.

His defense was directly penetrated, and his body staggered and lost balance.

Immediately, he was taken away by the opponent with two rounds of gunfire!

Another death.

But this time he came back to life.

The water friends who just now were still doubting that there seemed to be something wrong with the gameplay of this game have gradually subsided.

A small number of water friends have begun to realize that this game is not as bad as it seems.

Compared to just being tortured by the big tree guard just now.

This camp seems to be… surprisingly good for viewing?

However, water friends cannot explain the reason for this change in perception.

Lao Ju’s understanding of the core charm of this game has deepened with the exploration just now.

But he couldn’t say yet whether this was the case, and he still needed to try again.

Soon, he got up from the blessing point again.

Lao Ju walked toward the camp with his sword in hand without hesitation.

However, compared to the recklessness of the first time, the second time was too cautious.

This time, Lao Ju was obviously much more calm.

Although they still go around the flanks to clear out the other soldiers, they won’t be too narrow-minded anymore.

Instead, he walked forward slowly, and after attracting the hatred of one of the soldiers, he rolled away in no hurry, as if he was afraid of being discovered by other soldiers.

Instead, Lao Ju only walked a few steps this time before quickly turning back and slashing with his sword.

The soldier was chasing Lao Ju, but he did not expect that Lao Ju would be so decisive in his attack, and was struck stiff by a sword.

Immediately, he was cleared by two more basic attacks, fell to the ground and died, and contributed a small amount of runes.

Lao Ju walked towards the other soldier calmly.

Compared with the last round, Lao Ju is more skilled this time, and the speed of clearing the camp has been shortened by nearly 50%.

After killing the sentry with a knife, he faced the soldier captain again.

“Through the last round of observation, I have completely understood this captain.”

“His biggest characteristic is that he is quite stubborn and often hides behind a big shield.”

“And the defense of this shield is relatively high. If we can’t break it with a knife, it will be flicked, and he will seize the opportunity to use the knife.”

“So, we don’t have to worry, we can lure him out from behind the shield and then fight him.”

While he was talking, Lao Ju had already drawn his knife and stepped forward.

The sword went straight towards the opponent’s big shield.

“Dang!”

Sure enough, after the sound of hammering was heard, the knife was rebounded.

The captain was also waiting for the opportunity, ready to shoot.

But Lao Ju is no longer the same person she was two minutes ago.

After a round of confrontation and careful observation.

He knew that the opponent would draw a gun after flicking the knife.

Tap the space lightly.

Roll backwards!

Using the invincible frame to dodge the gun, the moment he stood up, his eyes flashed.

“Like this!”

With one knife, he took advantage of the wide open buttocks on the opposite side and slashed straight at him!

“Pfft!”

This time, it was the soldier captain who was struck stiff.

After being stunned, Lao Ju struck again, cutting off 1/4 of the opponent’s blood line in total.

Don’t linger, step back decisively and open your body.

He raised his shield again to deal with it.

Although the soldier captain’s AI also designed other attack methods.

But the most difficult thing is to keep raising the shield and suddenly shoot you from behind the shield.

This move was cracked by Lao Ju, and other moves could even destroy his toughness bar with anti-counterattack.

After a moment of maneuvering, he used his rolls to dodge several spear thrusts from his opponent, then slashed twice with his backhand without being greedy, and just pulled away.

If there is an opportunity to prevent counterattack, take advantage of it.

After two successful counterattacks, the opponent was successfully executed by the calm Lao Ju.

That is, kneeling on the ground with the door wide open.

Without saying a word, Lao Ju stepped forward and pierced his abdomen with her sword, then stepped on his shoulder and kicked him out.

“Tum!”

“Uh-huh…”

The blood-stained straight sword was pulled away from the captain, and with the other party’s shrill scream, the execution technique also took away his last trace of blood.

At this point, the faded man was beaten by the soldiers in the camp more than ten minutes ago.

After more than ten minutes, the entire camp was finally cleared!

Similarly, the runes on his body also accumulated to 5,000.

Wang Laoju finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes became a little brighter.

He obviously got a sense of pleasure from clearing the camp just now, which was no less than the pleasure he felt after clearing levels in other games…

But you know, this is just clearing a small camp.

This is very exaggerated.

Barrages also flooded the screen at this moment.

“Damn it! You’re so strong, Chairman (”

“66666!”

“Don’t say it, you really don’t say it!”

“Then what the hell did I say!”

“Don’t talk about this game, it seems to be starting to get fun, Gui Gui! What’s going on?”

“It was quite fun to watch the chairman die suddenly at first, but after seeing all the suffering later, I felt a little uncomfortable… But now after watching the chairman clear a camp calmly, I feel that this game is not as good as I imagined. Difference.”

“Indeed, I was ready to run away at first, but now I think it’s quite interesting?”

“It’s broken. Gravbol is using the game to secretly control my brain, isn’t he?”

Wang Laoju looked at the barrage of heated discussions in the live broadcast room. She returned to the blessing point and upgraded the more than 5,000 runes she had on her body.

“After I died twice just now, I felt that this game was extraordinary.”

“I don’t know if you realize it now.”

“It seems very difficult, right? Just, how should I put it, from guarding the big tree, the player officially starts his own path of suffering.”

“There has never been any game that dares to put such a difficult BOSS at the beginning like “Elden”.”

“And it’s so powerful that it’s almost hopeless. When you try your best and fail to defeat it again and again, you will feel an extremely strong sense of frustration. Some players may choose to refund the money because of this.”

“It might be like me, who suddenly discovered that I could bypass the big tree guard without hitting it.”

“It looks like the player’s efforts in the first half hour are like a fool.”

“But that’s not actually the case. Our efforts in the first half hour will actually…well, how should I put it, it will become a hidden improvement feedback to the players.”

“To put it more directly, I feel that the big tree guard is the true teaching for novices.”

This is what Lao Ju learned from experience after numerous sudden deaths.

Compared with other games, it simply teaches you the basic keystrokes, and then slowly increases the difficulty from easy to difficult, so that you can better adapt to this game.

“Elden” takes a more extreme approach.

Since it’s all about teaching, I might as well just put a very difficult BOSS here.

And it is placed in the most conspicuous position.

Players who have not watched the live broadcast or have not read the guide and started directly will be attracted by the cavalry wearing golden armor at the first sight when they come to Nimgefu.

Whether you treat it as an NPC or as an enemy.

The player’s first reaction is to go over and take a look at the situation.

Then the suffering begins.

but.

The purpose of Ready Player One is also clear.

I don’t need you to beat him right away.

The meaning of his existence is to be your teacher.

The so-called strict teacher produces a good disciple.

Compared with the soft teaching used in almost all games on the market today.

This kind of hard-core teaching can help players grow faster.

Let players know immediately that attacking is not omnipotent, shield raising is not omnipotent, counterattack is not omnipotent, and rolling is not omnipotent.

Drinking blood will even get you beaten.

There is no absolutely brainless move in this game that can make players pass easily.

You have to use it all and use it at the most appropriate time.

This is the first lesson taught by the big tree guard to the players.

“Without this BOSS, I might still be using defense to attack the camp, or I might just be cutting without thinking. If I couldn’t cut it, I would just run away to replenish my blood and then come back to continue cutting. But I believe that viewers who have seen the intensity of the camp will know that. You will definitely not be able to get through this with such recklessness.”

“There is no reckless setting in this game at all. At any time, you need to reasonably allocate your next actions, which is one of the characteristics of this game.”

“Otherwise, even just two or three soldiers will give you a huge headache.”

After a pause, Wang Laoju tilted her head and thought for a while.

Because he had never encountered this kind of “painful and happy” game type before, he sorted out the words in his mind before thinking.

“And another point about the punishment mechanics of this game.”

“how to say.”

“At first glance, frequent death is a very severe punishment mechanism that will cause great dissatisfaction among players.”

“But I feel that the punishment mechanism of this game is one of its highlights.”

“The difficulty of this game is not a setting deliberately designed to torture players.”

“It’s about giving meaning to every subsequent death.”

“Think about it, are the times I died so many times really worthless?”

After all, Wang Laoju is a host who has played countless games. The insights he has compiled are like enlightenment to many viewers who are still in a state of ignorance!

Death has no value?

How can it be!

If there is really no value.

The chairman will not be instantly killed by the big tree guard from the very first encounter. After half an hour, half of the tree guard’s blood can even be worn away.

Although later, for the sake of the effect of the show, Wang Laoju had to give up continuing to play hard steel.

But in the camp in front of the level, the value of death becomes even more intuitive!

Through death, players learn that sentinels can blow their horns to summon soldiers from hiding.

Through death, players learn that prioritizing soldiers makes them easier to fight.

Also through death, players figured out the soldier captain’s style of play.

The audience who watched the whole process knew it well.

From the very beginning when he entered the camp, he was killed suddenly. By the middle stage, he could barely kill all the soldiers, but there was no blood medicine left to face the captain.

In the end, he can easily kill soldiers, and after dealing with the captain, he can even kill the captain as well.

These are the values ​​reflected by death.

What is the meaning behind it?

Be a stronger version of yourself!

What makes you stronger is not data or upgrades.

But the players themselves!

“Damn it!! What the chairman said is true!”

“The essential difference between this game and other games is that other games only improve numerical values, but this game improves players!”

“Some games may also encounter difficult levels, but designers are afraid that players will give up, so they will either pop up a prompt whether to lower the difficulty after the player dies multiple times, or simply increase the rewards to allow players to strengthen their equipment as soon as possible. This reduces death and abandonment rates.”

“I am a new player. I have just started playing games, but the games you gave examples are quite boring. I have strengthened the weapons to 100, but it is the weapons that are powerful, not me.”

The barrage of comments exploded.

Especially, when Wang Laoju finished upgrading at the blessing point and got up.

The soldiers in the camp behind him were refreshed again.

But this time, when facing the soldiers again.

Almost all viewers can feel a subtle change in mentality.

If you say that the frequent sudden deaths just now are very uncomfortable to watch, you may even wonder what the meaning of this game is.

So now look at this group of soldiers.

It’s the same group of people and the same attack methods.

But the perception becomes – I have already passed this level, and you bunch of stinky brothers are nothing to worry about!

This feeling is undoubtedly filled with a strong sense of accomplishment and full of pride!

Not to mention Wang Laoju who does it himself.

Even the audience in the live broadcast room can feel this pleasure through the screen.

Especially after Lao Ju got up this time, he personally picked up the knife and went to bloodbath the camp again.

This time, because I have upgraded, I am also familiar with the fighting style.

The camp was cleared faster than before and more than two thousand runes were gained.

In fact, she had run out of ammunition and food at the end of the battle, and this time she challenged the camp again, and Wang Laoju still had two bottles of red medicine left.

Very intuitive strength growth!

Seeing this scene, the barrage was rolling like boiling water!

“Holy shit, it feels so good! I feel so good even through the screen! My scalp feels numb!”

“Interesting! Once you understand this game type, you can understand its charm!”

“To tell you a scarier thing, this is just the beginning of the first level… I can’t even imagine how fun this game will be later! According to Gravograph’s urine properties, I always feel that there are still many things that this game has not shown. ”

“What about those guys who just questioned that this game is boring? Why don’t you come out and apologize to my Gravograph!”

“Falled off the altar? I’m so sorry! Please help me fall off the altar! If this game can maintain such high-intensity quality in subsequent designs, I feel really crazy!”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

“My, my, my, to apologize, I bought a hundred sets right on the spot! I gave it to the brothers in the live broadcast room! Just treat it as an apology to Gravograph!” A wealthy man who had just questioned it in the live broadcast room , typed with a wave of his hand, and gave Wang Laoju a few super hits.

A line of ‘boss’ atmosphere suddenly passed by in the live broadcast room.

The atmosphere returned to harmony.

Seeing this, Wang Laoju also smiled slightly.

Having been a game anchor for many years, he has played too many games.

He has played many of Ready Player One’s previous games.

But the current “Elden Ring” has only been played for more than an hour, but he feels deeply attracted.

This feeling of “using death to teach players how to get a better new life” is very strange and different from all the games he has played before.

Without saying a word, continue on your way!

Only a small part of it has been explored just now.

Most of the time is spent exploring the type of this game.

But now that the type is understood, the operation is becoming more and more skillful.

Next, where will it be the turn to suffer?

What awaits you is nothing but pleasure!

Big tree guard, just wait.

Just wait and you’re done!

Sooner or later, my faded name will be known to everyone in the border area!

Thinking of this, Wang Laoju controlled the faded one, rode on the wheelchair given by the eldest wife, turned the horse’s head and rushed directly to the city gate in front to kill!

When passing by just now, Wang Laoju glanced inside through the city gate.

There are some wooden military defense fences standing there, and a few sneaky Viet Cong archers can be seen vaguely.

I’ve killed all the captains outside your camp. Aren’t you archers just giving away?

kill!

Wang Laoju smiled as he rode directly into the city gate.

“You thought I was in pain just now, right?”

“But actually I am very happy. Death after death makes me feel very…”

Wang Laoju’s words haven’t finished yet.

The people had just entered the city gate and had not gone far.

“Roar!!!!”

suddenly.

He heard an angry roar!

I couldn’t tell where the sound came from, but the roar was deafening!

Before Wang Laoju could react.

I saw a black shadow on the ground getting bigger and bigger.

On top!

Wang Laoju came back to her senses, looked up suddenly, and her pupils suddenly shrank slightly!

He saw a huge thing falling from the sky!

The butt was like a mountain weighing down on him, sitting directly on the faded man’s head.

The ‘wheelchair’ Thoret was directly put into a quantum state, turning into fragments of blue starlight and disappearing.

The faded person was also directly thrown away by more than dozens of meters by this majestic impact!

He rolled violently on the ground several times uncontrollably, until he rolled out of the city gate, and then he was able to let go of his momentum.

When Wang Laoju got up again, she looked up in disgrace.

A giant ape-like monster stood in front of the city gate, blocking his way.

Its size is so huge that the height of the humanoid archer on the side is only as high as its ankles…

And the giant ape was slowly drawing out an extremely broad sword, lowering his body and swiping forward violently!

In an instant! The wind is strong!

The sword energy turned into several cold whirlwinds, which even swept away the faded ones outside the city gate from a distance of 800 miles, leaving only a trace of bloody skin!

Wang Laoju’s pupils widened subconsciously, and her smile instantly froze on her face.

“Brothers, I…”

“I don’t seem to be truly happy…”
