Chapter 26 The Essence of Games is Happiness (Part )
Ye Xiu controlled the blond boy named Link to wander around on the starting platform.
Originally, I came out of the cave and chatted with a sloppy old man. The female voice that woke me up gave me a mission coordinate.
Just as Ye Xiu was about to rush over according to the coordinates, he was stopped by Tang Rou.
Tang Rou shook her head: "Don't focus on completing the missions. This is not a level-up game. Just walk around."
Walk? What's there to walk for? Ye Xiu was completely confused, but he could only do as he was told.
After saying goodbye to the old man, he walked around, picked up a branch on the ground, gestured a few times, and then used it to kill a nearby piglet.
I picked up the stick left by the little pig and continued wandering around. Not long after, I found an apple tree. The apples on the tree were bright red and tender.
Ye Xiu controlled Link to run and jump.
Under his precise control, Link accurately picked up an apple that was located lower, and then he did the same with two, and three.
But no matter how hard Ye Xiu jumped, he couldn't reach any higher places.
"Damn it, isn't my level enough?" Ye Xiu gritted his teeth.
He was so angry that he hit the tree trunk with a stick, but it didn't move at all. The tree didn't even tremble, as if it was laughing at him for overestimating his own abilities.
Just when Ye Xiu was about to leave helplessly, his eyes suddenly stopped on a wooden stake not far away.
There, stuck an axe.
Ye Xiu’s eyes lit up.
He walked forward, picked up the axe, returned to the apple tree and chopped down the tree with the axe. Suddenly, a deep cut was made on the tree. The huge force caused the apples on the tree to fall down one after another.
Ye Xiu picked it up happily.
Continuing forward, there is a pond with a protruding cliff on the edge of the pond. On the water surface just below the cliff, duckweed has formed a circle intentionally or unintentionally.
Like a diving platform.
Now that he was here, he might as well jump. Ye Xiu jumped down from the cliff, right in the center of the circle formed by the duckweed.
Then, there was a burst of smoke, and a soft, green thing appeared holding a propeller made of twigs.
"Ahahaha, you found me!"
Ye Xiu was stunned. Is there really something there?
Yahaha chatted with him for a while and gave him a "Yahaha fruit".
Even though this thing looked like a pile of poop, Ye Xiu was still as happy as a monkey who had found a peach.
There is no equipment, no complicated operations, and no powerful monsters.
But it can give people a different kind of surprise in every inconspicuous corner.
He began to understand Tang Rou's intention of not letting him follow the main storyline.
During the rest of the journey, he subconsciously kept an eye out and observed every place where there was something.
With this observation, this seemingly empty world suddenly became different.
For example, the pig that just died tragically under Ye Xiu’s tree branch.
Upon closer inspection, the ordinary pig suddenly became amazing.
The monsters in Glory will either stay still or patrol back and forth when they haven't discovered the player. Only when they discover the player will they show their ferocious side.
But the pig named Pokoblins is different.
Even if the pigs don't notice the player, they are not idle. They will scratch themselves, talk, and if there is a fire nearby, they will dance around it.
I even fall asleep in the middle of the night.
Ye Xiu once tried to throw an apple over, but the pig was stunned at first when he saw the apple, and then he was overjoyed.
He ran up with brisk steps, picked up the apple, and started to eat it with relish.
Ye Xiu hid aside and peeked at Zhu Zhu eating an apple, secretly amazed.
In Glory, the only purpose of the existence of small monsters is to provide experience and worthless cheap materials. They are the least valuable data.
He had never thought that there would be a little monster like Zhuzhu with such rich movements and expressions.
It turns out that the monsters can be made so vivid...
For the next two hours, Ye Xiu almost went crazy playing.
The seemingly empty initial terrace is actually full of surprises.
If there is a big rock on the cliff that can be pushed down, then there must be an unlucky pig waiting to be hit below the cliff. If there is a towering tree growing on the edge of a bottomless cliff, then the height of the tree must be just enough to cross the cliff and form a single-plank bridge.
As long as Ye Xiu is willing to explore and discover carefully, he will definitely be able to gain surprises and happiness.
For example, the monster camp he was preparing to attack.
The camp is a large skull at the mouth of the canyon, with a large group of pigs living inside.
Not only are there pigs holding bows and arrows on guard, but there is also a ferocious blue pig leader.
With high attack, thick health and excellent equipment, he can kill a full-health Link with one blow.
Ye Xiu relied on his own skills to force his way in once, but ended up using up all his weapons and still being unable to do anything to the leader, and was eventually taken away on the spot with a stick.
This blow woke Ye Xiu up.
He scouted around the camp honestly and finally found that the skull was filled with barrels of explosives and there was an oil lamp hanging on the ceiling.
A plan emerged in his mind.
Taking advantage of the dark night and high wind when the pigs were asleep, he tiptoed out of the camp and shot down the oil lamp with an arrow.
The flame of the oil lamp ignited the powder barrel, and flames shot up into the sky. The pigs were engulfed by the fire and explosion in their dreams.
“Done!” Ye Xiu clapped his hands excitedly and was about to go forward to collect the spoils when he suddenly heard a noise.
"Crack! Click!"
He looked up with some confusion, only to find that it was Tang Rou holding a cell phone and taking a picture of him.
Seeing that he had discovered it, she smiled and handed the phone over:
"The operations you just performed can theoretically be accomplished in Glory. You may have even done some of them once before."
"But look at it, have you ever been so happy?"
Ye Xiu took the phone and stared at himself in it.
In the photo, his eyes are focused and his body is slightly bent forward, showing extreme concentration.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise an arc of excitement.
It was not the excitement of being competitive, but something more pure.
On the way home from school, a little boy walking along the edge of a field found a straight stick.
He picked up the stick excitedly, imagined himself as a hero saving the world and bringing peace to the people, and started waving it.
"Eat my sword!"
The child's smile was exactly the same as Ye Xiu's current smile.
Ye Xiu was born into a wealthy family and grew up under strict family rules, which led to his developing a rebellious character.
He didn't have such a free childhood.
But now, playing a game that was not technically outstanding, gave him a vague sense of that feeling.
His eyes were a little dazed.
Seeing his expression, Tang Rou smiled and said, "I have a suggestion."
"If I remember correctly, the live broadcast contract that President Pei gave you included a clause asking you to promote Tenghai's new game."
"It just so happens that a first-party blockbuster from Tencent will be released tomorrow."
She opened the browser, searched for "Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout", and then showed it to Ye Xiu.
"Since you haven't been in good shape these past two days, do you want to play this to relax?"
Ye Xiu looked at the poster with bright colors and cute cartoon style, as well as those cute looking "Fall Guys".
No matter how you look at it, this must be a fun game...
"Okay, let's play this tomorrow."
Here comes the second update, thanks to all the readers for their support!
In the next two days, several preparatory games will gradually appear to help Ye Xiu completely desensitize himself to Honor.
Then it’s time to really take action against Honor.
By the way, the trial push this week is probably over, but there is hope next week.
By the way, the number of collections is almost 300. Dear viewers, please be so kind as to collect, read, vote, etc. Boss Pei kowtows to you all!
