[You Are Dead]
The minor monsters didn't give her time to complain. With a few swift stabs, Zhou Jie, who hadn't even left the新手村 (newbie village), was sent to her grave.
After reviving at the spot, Zhou Jie began to practice.
Shield parry was extremely important in this game. If one couldn't grasp the timing of this skill, they were not suited to play the knight class.
In the future, there would surely be many boss battles where shield parry could be utilized.
Clang clang clang—
Hiss hiss hiss—
After ten minutes of practice, Zhou Jie finally managed to barely learn the shield parry skill.
At least it was very effective against these little stray souls.
"Damn it, this game is truly perverse. I still haven't left the graveyard!"
Walking past the Ash Cemetery, she encountered a small monster wearing armor for the first time. Zhou Jie's face lit up with excitement, "Brothers, an elite monster has appeared, the boss won't be far!"
Clang clang clang—
Direct slash!
Zhou Jie swung her weapon, unleashing a flurry of sharp attacks that pushed the armored soldier back.
It was the armored soldier's turn to attack. It swung its long sword, aiming straight for Zhou Jie's face…
Clang!
Shield parry successful!
Zhou Jie agilely moved behind, swinging her sword for a backstab.
With a 'hiss,' she slew the armored soldier, collecting its wandering soul and humanity.
Zhou Jie's face beamed with pride.
However, tragedy always struck when one was most complacent.
Stomp stomp stomp!
Huh?
Zhou Jie looked down at the ten-thousand-foot cliff beneath her feet, stunned for a second.
[You Are Dead]
"What the hell, this game can be played like this?"
"No railings at the edge of the cliff?"
Seeing Zhou Jie's misfortune, the viewers laughed and cursed!
'Ah, that's the spirit!'
'This is the Zhou Jie I know. I almost didn't recognize you just now!'
'Walk without looking where you're going, and tears will flow for your loved ones.'
.......
After reviving, she was back in the Ash Cemetery. Zhou Jie was on the verge of exploding.
"Damn it, where's the save point?"
"Who can tell me how to save?"
The barrage of comments exchanged confused glances. You're the one pioneering the game, and you're asking me, who's just watching?
"Hoo!"
"Hoo!!"
Zhou Jie took a deep breath, constantly telling herself to calm down, calm down, you must stay calm.
For popularity, for a little bit of money.
You must stay calm. The viewership in the upper right corner was still climbing, clearly, this kind of explosive stream was the hottest trend right now.
The more agitated the streamer, the more excited the players.
Setting off from the Ash Cemetery again, she fought her way to the armored soldier. This time, she dared not get carried away.
She walked cautiously along the edge of the cliff.
Clink!
Suddenly, a ghoul darted out from a corner, swinging its blade. It struck a nearby rock, sending sparks flying.
"Oh my god!"
Zhou Jie's body trembled violently, and the screen even shook from the impact.
Her blood pressure instantly surged.
When nervous, all skills were forgotten.
She dodged haphazardly.
After catching her breath, Zhou Jie's face turned green.
"Damn it! Damn it!!!"
"What kind of game is this!"
"Why are there so many insidious little tricks popping up, it's too damn scary!!"
She was almost in tears, but the audience was laughing hysterically.
'When it comes to torment, I only serve the old rogue!'
'It's too sinister. This game is made too sinister, but I like watching it!!'
'If you don't like it, quickly recommend this game to him!'
'I feel like the sinister level this time is amplified, more tormenting than any of the old rogue's previous games. She hasn't even left the newbie village and is already almost driven to tears by the torment. What will happen when she leaves the newbie village? She'll break down!'
.......
"You bastard, you all laugh at me even when I'm like this."
Zhou Jie's voice grew sadder, and she was on the verge of crying, "Thank you, Do you want roses? boss, for the rocket."
"Love you, heart!"
As she spoke, she clasped her hands together to form a heart.
Not a waste of a "Parisian Mother," this kind of transition was something ordinary people couldn't learn!
Lu Li, who was watching from outside the game, was rendered speechless.
Just as he was about to enjoy himself, he was interrupted by the gift.
But it didn't matter.
Soon, she would meet her first teacher in the game – Mr. Guda.
Heh heh heh!
"Huh, there's a bonfire ahead."
Zhou Jie exclaimed in surprise and immediately walked over.
A dying bonfire, with a spiral sword stuck in it.
[Rest at the bonfire: Replenishes HP and Estus Flasks.]
Seeing the prompt,
She tried to approach the bonfire. The ash reached out, and the bonfire was instantly lit!
[Bonfire Lit]
Zhou Jie clicked the rest button. The ash immediately sat down, and her status was quickly restored. The three depleted Estus Flasks were also instantly refilled.
"So this is how it's played."
"With this bonfire, next time I die, I won't have to return to the Ash Cemetery. I'll just come here directly."
"Looking at it this way, the designer isn't entirely beyond redemption."
She thought that if a level only had the starting point as the spawn point, and every death meant starting all over again from the beginning, it would be a terrible waste of time.
Fortunately, fortunately, this bonfire rekindled her hope.
Continuing forward,
Zhou Jie walked and walked...
She got lost!!
"Ahhh!!"
"I'm going to die!"
"What kind of ghost game is this? You can get lost?"
"This is such a small area... damn it, this map is huge!!"
She was too lively, and the viewers outside the game were laughing uncontrollably.
'Hahaha, Zhou Jie is still good at creating content.'
'Honestly, the map is indeed large. If it were me, I might get lost too.'
'Let me tell you a terrifying piece of news: we haven't even left the newbie village on this huge map, and we haven't even seen the guardian Boss yet.'
'No choice, who told Zhou Jie to get lost? Heh heh heh!!'
......
Looking down from a height, Zhou Jie gazed at the valley behind her, the precipice, and the cemetery further in the distance. She realized she had come so far, yet why did she feel like she hadn't encountered any decent minor monsters? 138 Reading Network
Could it still be in the newbie testing phase?
Don't panic, stay calm.
Zhou Jie kept comforting herself.
Calming down, she recalled every step she had taken, checking if any forks in the road were missed or any doors left unopened.
Confirming there were none, Zhou Jie searched the vicinity. The path by the bonfire must lead to the correct way.
Finally,
Three minutes later, she found a secluded path leading to a peach blossom spring next to a large tree covered in grass.
Initially narrow, it only allowed passage for one person. After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly opened up.
It was a ruined city with a remarkably tall gate.
Walking in, the first thing that greeted her was a towering... corpse? Half-kneeling in a circular plaza.
It remained motionless, half-kneeling as if a statue.
Beside it, a three-meter-long halberd was slanted, its haft long, its blade bright, and its head heavy.
Zhou Jie wasn't sure if this fellow was dead, but it was quite obvious that a spiral sword was stuck in its chest.
Who put it there?
Even if it wasn't dead, it must have lost half its life!
Upon closer inspection, she realized this 'statue' was immense.
Even while half-kneeling, it was half a head taller than Ash.
[Pull Sword]
The prompt lit up. Zhou Jie frowned and circled around. Wouldn't this thing revive after she pulled it out?
But there was no other path around. It seemed to be the guardian Boss.
Guda,
A very distinctive name.
Zhou Jie hesitated for a moment, then slowly pulled the spiral sword stuck in Guda's chest—
