"Clang!"

The crisp sound of steel hitting steel rang out as the Little Devil’s blade struck the shield.

"Hehe, is that all?" Little Tuantu’s smile had just begun to emerge.

Suddenly, a roar came from behind.

Another Little Devil burst out from the right-hand fork!

It leapt high for a back attack on Tui.

Tui, rendered stiff by the blow, couldn’t raise his shield, and the Little Devil in front took the opportunity to crazily hack away!

Health dropped sharply once again!

In a panic, Tuanzi tumbled backward and once more hit that damned trap.

"Whoosh!"

Dark arrows fired all at once!

The next moment, the words GAME OVER appeared on the screen.

Little Tuantu was stunned.

No...

How could I get shot by an obvious trap three times in a row?

The barrage of comments started to roll crazily, with ’hehe’ fluttering across the screen.

"Cause of death: hehe."

"Fish’s Memory"

"Didn’t expect that, did you? There was another one! Hehe!"

"I have to say, Baby Ke really knows how to play mind games with players! He purposefully delayed the appearance of the Little Devil on the right, so when the one on the left comes out and startles the player, they naturally retreat and therefore don’t trigger the right side’s aggression. But if the player, the second time, is prepared and turns to face left with their shield raised, without retreating, that triggers the aggression from the right... He’s just too good at tormenting players!"

"I seriously suspect that when Baby Ke isn’t designing games, he’s pondering how to break through the player’s defenses."

"Baby Ke? More like Baby Carve! With such sinister designs, he’s a bit anti-human, huh."

Having been killed twice in such an inconspicuous spot, Little Tuantu’s competitive spirit was ignited.

"Dammit! I swear! I definitely won’t die a third time in this graveyard!"

Upon reflection, she thought that statement might have been a bit too bold.

Considering "Elden" dared to place a Big Tree Guardian in the first level just to torment players...

What if there’s a BOSS underground?

Encountering a BOSS was a different story.

So she added,

"Except for BOSSes and those freakishly tough Elite Monsters!"

"Next, I’m definitely going to be extra careful, step by step!"

"When a player is fully focused, she is invincible!"

"Charge on, Tuanzi, you’re sure to wreak havoc!"

After giving herself a pep talk,

Little Tuantu set off for the third time.

She skirted around the trap tiles.

And just as she had attracted the aggro of the Little Devil on the left,

She swiftly rolled back.

This time, Tuanzi also made sure to roll close to the edges.

Rising quickly, she raised her shield and blocked the Little Devil’s assault.

Defensive counterattack!

Clang!

The shield swung up, colliding with the oncoming attack, and she followed through with a sword slash.

After executing the enemy and putting it into a critical state, she thrust a sword into the belly of the Little Devil.

The little guy was just bluffing; his health bar was actually quite shallow.

Two moves and it was dead.

She then repeated the trick with the Little Devil on the right, lured it out and killed it.

Little Tuantu remained vigilant, glancing around carefully.

Only after confirming there were no more enemies did she finally relax and collect the white dots from the corpses.

As expected, they were items.

And they were currency.

Golden Runes [3]

When crushed, they grant the player 800 Runes.

It seemed like a small amount of money.

After all, after two hours of play, most players were around level 10 to 20 by now, and it took at least 3,000 to 4,000 Runes to level up once.

just wasn’t much to look at.

But, these money pouch items had one advantage.

They wouldn’t be dropped upon player death.

They stayed in the inventory, available for use anytime, very convenient.

"But I have to say,"

"In ’Elden,’ it’s always like this. Even though I’ve played for two hours and have gotten to know the game, I can’t take any enemy lightly. Otherwise, I could die suddenly at any moment."

"They put so much effort into designing every single enemy, which is really praiseworthy. It’s not like in other games where minor monsters just become decor later on."

"It’s awesome~"

As annoying as it was for players, if something was well-made, players weren’t blind and would naturally rave about it.

Following the conventional wisdom of males to the left and females to the right, Little Tuantu first headed down the right-hand fork to explore a little further.

She found nothing else; it was just a slightly longer dead end.

Then, she turned around and headed down the narrower corridor to the left.

She remained cautious all the way.

Soon, at the end of the corridor, she came to a room several times larger.

Inside, everything was pitch-black, with only a few torches on the wall casting a faint glow, not enough to see clearly.

"Rushing in there recklessly is definitely asking for trouble," mused Little Tuantu for a moment, then suddenly slapped her hand with a brilliant idea.

"Hey! Can’t I just use the game’s lock-on mechanic as a sort of wallhack?"

In "Elden," there is a mechanism that allows you to lock onto an enemy’s center of mass.

It ensures that even with high-speed movements during combat, the player’s crosshair doesn’t lose target and can quickly pinpoint the enemy’s position.

And this mechanism, when used in pitch-black caves, is incredibly convenient.

She gently pressed the lock-on button.

Immediately her eyes widened!

Because she discovered, right there on the ground ahead.

A Little Devil was quietly crawling.

Almost blending into the darkness, making it hard to discern.

Waiting for the reckless player to charge in.

But once it’s locked on, its health bar appears instantly above its head.

It becomes clear as day and can’t hide anymore.

"Hehe, what did I say? With my level of caution, I’m definitely not getting taken out by a sneak attack again!" laughed Little Tuantu, proud of herself.

Viewers felt bored and started to complain in the comments.
