Chapter 630: Chapter 198: The Wife Goes First! Next, Joining Burials Can Be Very Useful!_1

"Oh! I see."

"Alright, brothers, I’ve completely understood this game now, let’s officially begin the journey to become the king!"

Thunderbolt, Wang Laoju’s live-streaming room.

He had purchased and downloaded Elden Ring at the first opportunity after its release.

Just like Czcu from across the ocean.

Lao Ju spent nearly half an hour trying to brute force his way past the Big Tree Guardian.

It went from the early ’Damn, got chopped down again, why is this move so slow, I rolled too early... let’s go again!’

’Can’t hold up against the hit, can’t afford to block next time, dodged that one, chop, chop, chop! Ah! I got greedy! Again!’

’I roll! I chop! I chop! Jump! Block! Agh, didn’t block it... Wow, I took out so much health this time! Keep calm! Don’t drink the Blood Bottle! Dodge this move!’

’Shit, slow with the slashing!’

Gradually evolving into a numb-faced death half an hour later.

Can’t get through!

No matter how I think about it, I can’t get through!

The room for error at the beginning is just too low.

All it takes is two hits from the Big Tree Guardian to take me out, but I have to hit it at least thirty or forty times.

Even though there are Blood Bottles, whether or not I can get a drink sometimes depends on luck, praying that the opposing boss shows some mercy.

After playing so many games as a top player, this was the first time he had doubts about the game he was currently playing.

This game... was it really made for people to play?

Even an experienced player like me is nearly spitting blood, new players probably just get kicked by the Big Tree Guardian and run straight to refund the game.

Fortunately, he discovered earlier than Czcu that ’you don’t have to fight the Big Tree Guardian; you can just bypass it.’

It was as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Alright, Big Tree Guardian, I’ll acknowledge you as a hero! Today, I shall spare you!" Leaving behind a harsh statement, Wang Laoju bolted away.

Instantly resulting in a barrage of question marks flooding the chat.

"???"

"Wait, wait a minute... spare who?"

"A one-sided hero admiring another hero, huh."

"If the chairman is so tough, why not just make your mouth into a shield? Then no one would be able to break through your defense."

"Even the Big Tree Guardian would offer Hua Zi in admiration, wishing it could just reconcile with the chairman on the spot."

As the chat teased, Lao Ju had already sneaked past the Big Tree Guardian with his sword, running fiercely for a distance.

He entered a patch of woodland, where he saw a few isolated Gerrick soldiers.

Some were carrying torches, patrolling within the woods.

Others were seated by the campfire, warming themselves.

At the start of the game during the beginner’s tutorial, these soldiers could barely count as bosses.

But upon officially entering the game, they seemed to be the simplest of mobs.

Lao Ju, who had been yearning to beautifully execute an Anti-Defense stance, finally found the opportunity to use it.

He crept up stealthily, preparing to execute a backstab.

The execution damage was 2.5 times the damage of an Ordinary Attack.

Directly taking away half the enemy’s health bar, he then took two steps forward, shield raised to his face.

As soon as the soldier swung his sword, he countered with an Anti-Defense move!

"Ding—crack!"

With a powerful lift of the shield, he sent the soldier stumbling, followed by a fierce sword slash.

Accompanied by the soldier’s groans, he finished the reap!

"Wow, I’m so strong!" After being tormented by the Big Tree Guardian to near delirium, Wang Laoju finally regained some confidence against the mobs.

After wandering around the nearby woods for a while, Wang Laoju began to get a feel for some of the game’s specific features.

Firstly, unlike traditional games where killing monsters gave direct experience points, in this game, killing monsters dropped a currency called Runes.

Through a chance encounter with a wandering merchant riding a little donkey inside a derelict church up ahead, he learned about the uses of Runes.

One was to purchase various items or weapons that would help in adventures.

Secondly, it was to upgrade at Blessing Spots under the guidance of the Finger Witch.

"We can level up? Why didn’t you say so earlier!"

"Just grind more monsters, level up a few times, and watch me smash the Big Tree Guardian’s head when I get back!" raged Lao Ju, itching to get even.

The chat didn’t miss any chance to tease.

"He still can’t forget about it, I’m going to cry."

"Without saying much, but for a boss like the Big Tree Guardian, Baby Ke really made a successful design. I’ve never seen a player harbor such resentment towards a boss within the first half-hour of a game."

"Dreaming about prying the armor seams of the Big Tree Guardian, right?"

Though he intended to level up, Lao Ju was soon informed,

That as the Fading One, he could not upgrade without the Finger Witch.

The flames of revenge that had just begun to burn were quenched.

Lao Ju had no choice but to earnestly explore ahead while reaping any isolated soldiers he encountered along the way.

Before long, by a campsite called "Before the Checkpoint," he spotted a brand-new Blessing Spot.

The faint glow surrounded the Blessing Spot, and its soft, brilliant light could be seen from a great distance.

On the left of the Blessing Spot was an arch-shaped fortification with wide-open gates.

The walls were so grand that their tops could not be seen, and through the gates, one could only see wooden barriers inside.

To the right was a ruined campsite patrolled by a few soldiers.

However, what puzzled Lao Ju was,

In front of the campsite, players had left a string of admonitions.

The Admonition Function was one of the unique features of Elden Ring, setting it apart from any other game from Blue Star.

Although it was a single-player game, countless players who were playing could leave messages in any corner of their world that other players could see.

These messages couldn’t be written just any way a player wanted.

There was a specific template to follow.
