Chapter 177: Chapter 82: Recharge for a Better Gaming Experience!_4

"Forget it, let’s just explore first." Wang Laoju found himself increasingly fond of the exploration process of this game.

It was like slowly savoring a fine pastry. Besides its tender flavor that melted in your mouth, it also had a rich complexity, making one more intoxicated the more they savored it.

As he explored the City of Tears, Wang Laoju was pleasantly surprised to discover.

His strength had truly begun to evolve after that battle with the Mantis Lord!

The guards in the City of Tears were big and powerful, not at all on the same level as those little monsters from the surrounding villages.

They could truly be called the "Eight Banners of the City of Tears."

But under the sharp bone nail in his hand, he was still able to effortlessly slay each one.

Watching the screen, he saw the small Knight he controlled move gracefully and nimbly, while those well-equipped guards of the Eight Banners disappeared in a flash.

A sense of accomplishment spontaneously bloomed in his heart, and he couldn’t help feeling a little smug as he said.

"We’re playing a game, but what we’re playing isn’t just a game; it’s also about growth."

"Take me for example, after being tempered a thousand times before, I won’t get breached again."

"Even the Mantis Lord, such a ridiculous boss that gives players almost no time to react. If I can beat that, then whatever comes next can’t be that hard, it’s just a matter of adding a few more attack moves."

While speaking, Wang Laoju stepped onto the elevator.

The map of the City of Tears was almost completely explored, with just a towering spire left.

Named the Sanctuary of Souls.

This central elevator in the City of Tears could take him straight up.

Wang Laoju estimated that the guy hidden inside must be the final boss of the City of Tears.

He was right.

The moment he set foot in the Sanctuary of Souls,

The door behind him was sealed with iron chains, and in front of him was an open-air balcony.

Soon after, a rounded, corpulent boss draped in something like a magician’s cloak appeared in front of Wang Laoju after several flashes.

The BOSS’s name popped up as well.

[Soul Master]

No nonsense.

The NPCs in "Hollow" never liked to indulge in talk.

The small Knight drew his bone nail.

The battle began!

Wang Laoju had intended to use his usual Cut Down routine.

The saying goes, one move if fresh, can conquer the world.

If that didn’t work, dying a few times to learn the pattern would make it simple.

But as the fight went on,

Wang Laoju realized a very serious problem.

This BOSS was a freaking Mage!

And, it was floating in midair!

It wouldn’t come down!

His Cut Down move had only a short bounce distance, and without other points of leverage, it was nearly impossible to stay on the same level as the Mage.

Even worse,

The spells this guy was throwing out were all magical attacks, and the energy balls even had tracking properties.

That was all tolerable,

but what drove Wang Laoju to despair was,

This BOSS could fake out!

It had a Slam Down action from midair, similar to the Mantis Lord’s thrusting move.

But due to the BOSS’s larger size, shockwaves would splash out from both sides when it slammed down.

The shockwaves spread rapidly, almost in the blink of an eye to the ends of the screen.

Players had to anticipate the jump early, or they’d be hit by that shockwave.

Then came the problem.

Every time Wang Laoju saw its start-up animation for the Slam Down, he would jump to dodge the peak of the shockwave.

But the BOSS was just faking it out.

It didn’t slam down; instead, it teleported somewhere else and continued to Slam Down from there.

The key issue was that it didn’t fake out every time...

It faked out randomly...

So you never knew which time it would really Slam Down or just feint.

The speed of the Slam Down was also very fast.

This caused Wang Laoju to nearly always be hit by the shockwave.

After several exchanges, without any surprises,

The small Knight’s health bar was swiftly depleted by the Soul Master.

After repeatedly trying more than a dozen times,

Wang Laoju completely lost his composure.

Can’t guess it.

Just can’t guess it!

The always logical and sharp-minded streamer, broadcasting the same game on the same day, had his defenses breached twice.

Annoyed, Lao Ju slammed his mouse on the desk and gritted his teeth, "Damn it! Who taught you to design games like this!"

"Do you really enjoy creating such netherworld bosses, huh??"

"Is it fun?"

The barrage of comments was nearly bursting with laughter,

"Hahaha! You’ll never know what outrageous design Baby Ke has waiting for players in the background."

"I’ll just say, watch out for the designers of Iwanna."

"Is Baby Ke some kind of psychopath? I really like /blush /blush"

"Welcome to the large documentary series ’This Game Is Very Easy’, ’Playing Games Is Also Growing’, ’I Will Not Get Breached Again’, ’Is It Fun? Huh?’"

"That’s really interesting, mainly because we find it very interesting, hahahaha!"

Scanning the giddy comments, Wang Laoju’s anger flared a bit too.

Fine, you’re forcing my hand!

I intended to get along with you just like any ordinary player, but instead, I’m met with endless torment.

I’m done pretending!

The blue and green modifier, activate!

"To be honest, I really didn’t want to spend money, because this game is truly well made in all other respects, and the more I play, the more it feels like a work of art. If I were to spend money and the damage went straight to max, it might just cause the game to lose its original charm. That’s why I haven’t touched their recharge interface until now."

"But these Bboxes are designed to be so disgustingly irritating!"

As he talked, Wang Laoju had already taken out his phone, and at the same time, in the game’s pause menu, he clicked the recharge button.

"Let’s put in a little money to reduce the difficulty of the game."
