Seeing Wang Laoju reach for his phone.

The barrage of comments also buzzed with discussion.

"In the end, he still bowed his head."

"Can’t blame the chairman, the difficulty of this game is truly outrageous; before this, I never even saw such absurd game difficulty on Blue Star..."

"But paradoxically, aside from the difficult level which is hardly satisfying, the rest of the aspects are almost perfect, addicting to the extent that I’m planning to download and play it myself after the chairman’s stream ends."

"High difficulty is also a kind of challenge, and the act of overcoming hardship itself is worthy of praise."

"I’m quite curious what changes will occur in the game after recharging."

"Damage increase is definite, but I’m not sure if the weapon hitbox will be enlarged."

"If it follows the traditional action game’s monetization design, spending could also enhance skills."

While everyone was discussing raucously, Wang Laoju also opened up the recharge interface.

At first glance, his mouth corners twitched a bit.

The interface was quite in keeping with the top player’s consistent style.

A poor and monotonous square box that took forever to load and barely opened.

Then, the four packages were listed in order, and the drawing of those packages could only be described as lazy, okay?

It gave off a vibe of "does this company’s boss even want to make money?"

Moreover, the packages were thoughtfully categorized by level.

First, the Problem-Solving Package—20 yuan

Second, the Gradually Getting into The Swing Package—50 yuan

Third, the Who but Me? Package—100 yuan

Fourth, the Supreme Bliss Package—200 yuan

...

"66666! Speaking of the recharge interface, watch Baby Ke, never a letdown /pout/ pout"

"Given how rudimentary this recharge interface is, I’m starting to wonder whether the boss fired the Chief Beauty and drew it himself..."

"Other manufacturers make the recharge interface as opulent as possible, even cutting into the CG or game development budget to make the payment facet enticing to consume, but Baby Ke’s silly company on the other hand? Max budget for everything else, cut costs wherever possible on recharging, right? Scared of making money from players or something? Don’t be too rebellious, kiddo!"

"The new players are still ranting, while the veterans are already grateful, we can at least get the recharge interface to open this time, ask the chairman about the last time he experienced that feeling of being dominated."

Being reminded by the commenters, Wang Laoju also immediately grasped the keywords.

Urban Skyline, Unclosable Advertisement Interface

My dead memories are attacking me!

Damn...

This game wouldn’t... also employ an ad-based payment system, would it?

That’d be really tangled!

I’m still counting on the consumption to lift me up.

And then to seek revenge on the Soul Master for the humiliation.

Trembling hands made Wang Laoju hesitant to click but also a bit fearful to not.

After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly noticed.

The gift package interface was separate from the payment button below!

Hovering the mouse over the package icon would pop up a small tooltip with fine print that vaguely said ’after recharging, attack power will be so and so, blah blah blah,’ but the text was so small because of the thumbnail that it wasn’t clear.

With his already shaky gaming spirit, Wang Laoju, fearing an ad gank, opted for safety!

I’ll just click the payment button directly below!

After all, 20 yuan isn’t too much to handle; even if the boost isn’t significant, it’d still be acceptable.

Quickly, a QR code popped up in front of Wang Laoju.

Oh ho!

Nice!

He sped through the payment process, afraid of any mishaps.

Soon, a notification popped up on the interface, informing Wang Laoju of the successful recharge.

Heh, smart as I am.

Wang Laoju only recharged the first tier, the 20 yuan Problem-Solving Package.

He didn’t want to spend so much that the game became too easy and thus, boring.

Casually closing the recharge window, Wang Laoju returned to the game interface.

He examined it closely.

Yet he found no changes to his character.

Even the weapon in his hand remained unchanged in appearance.

The commenters were also perplexed.

"So, did he recharge?"

"Looks like he did."

"What do you expect for 20 yuan, special effects? Be realistic."

"Just fight a BOSS to find out."

That’s exactly what Wang Laoju thought.

He carried his nail-studded weapon and sprinted, soon facing the BOSS that had killed him multiple times, the Soul Master!

Based on his previous experience, this BOSS had two phases.

In the first phase, roughly 15 slashes followed by White Wave would do the trick.

And then he would always die during the second phase due to the faster attack frequency of the BOSS.

If the damage was boosted.

Then around 5 to 10 slashes would probably suffice, right?

In this game, one less slash, one less attack from the BOSS, is sometimes the thin line between life and death!

Having made up his mind, he started the battle without further ado!

His mind silently tallied the number of slashes.

slash!

slashes!

slashes!

...

slashes!

slashes!

slashes!

...

slashes?

slashes??

slashes???

...

As he kept fighting, Wang Laoju felt sweat trickling down; his fingers pressing the keyboard to dodge were cramping, and his eyes began to cast doubt.

No, that’s not right!

Damn it, there’s something really off about this BOSS nine times out of ten!

Normally, it should have entered the second phase by now!

But now, after almost 20 slashes, the first phase isn’t over?

Grinding his teeth, he persisted by hacking a few more times.

Finally, at around the 27th slash.

Wang Laoju could no longer hold on.

He had already streamed for over four hours, and the intense concentration now was depleting his energy rapidly; a momentary blur of vision and the BOSS’s aerial smash killed him.
