Chapter 61 - This is the Red Kilin! (1/2)
Brimming with curiosity and uncertainty, Chen Sha searched for Ocean Stronghold in the official games store, downloaded it, and registered for an account.
What surprised him was the internal storage the game occupied. The storage space that it used was even larger than Bullet Hole and was many times larger than Counter Strike.
However, Chen Sha didn’t probe into it. After all, there were low-quality games in the market that occupied huge storage capacity.
There was a domestically produced game that had undergone such bad game optimization that even the best graphics card in the market cannot resolve its horrible game graphics. That created the legend of ‘Titanfall’.
Therefore, the game’s large storage capacity and demanding hardware configurations did not mean anything. What’s more important was the content of the game.
Shortly after, Chen Sha entered the game.
His initial reaction was that the game seemed… pretty pleasant?
The game graphics were much better than what he had expected!
Chen Sha had originally thought this was a flaky and horrible game. He did not have any expectations for it. The only reason he downloaded the game was to see for himself what the 888-yuan epic weapon looked like.
However, the game left a pretty good first impression on him!
Although there was no opening computer graphics, the login interface and in-game user interface both looked amazing. It was not inferior to Bullet Hole.
Chen Sha found the game’s shop first.
The first thing that popped before his eyes was the legendary epic weapon—a Rainbow Red Kilin!
At a glance, it looked similar to AK rifles. However, there were enormous changes made to its exterior details. The entire rifle was sparkling. The gun barrel was coated in dazzling paint which spread towards the rifle body like colorful ripples of the rainbow. It was extremely eye-catching. Below the gun barrel was a unique-looking gold dagger. According to the description in the in-game shop, that was called the ‘Kilin Dagger’.
In the intersection between the gun barrel and rifle body, there was a gigantic kilin head. The kilin’s mouth was wide open and appeared as though it was engulfing the gun barrel and the dagger. The eyes of the kilin were blood-red, and the kilin’s fur had the color and texture of fire and would ripple in the air. As the rifle body moved, red sparks would appear within the kilin’s eyes. That made the kilin appear as if it was about to come to life.
Furthermore, there were alterations to components such as the rifle clip, the pistol grip, and the buttstock. While the gun followed the design of AK rifles, the exaggerated sizes of some components and unique alterations to its exterior design left a deeper impression on people.
Chen Sha was dumbfounded.
That was just way too cool, wasn’t it?
He was an elite gamer in Counter Strike and had explored the game Bullet Hole when he was testing it out.
Both Counter Strike and Bullet Hole tried their best to replicate firearms in the real world.
For instance, their biggest alteration to the AK guns was to paint them. There would not be a lot of drastic changes to the basic appearance of the guns.
They were afraid of being scolded by military games fanatics.
In comparison, the dramatic changes done in Ocean Stronghold was extremely daring!
Of course, strictly speaking, this Red Kilin could be considered to be overly fancy.
The exaggerated design, the bold alterations, and the elaborate special effects… all of that made Chen Sha a little instinctively uncomfortable when he saw it for the first time.
Chen Sha had been playing FPS games for so many years and was already used to how AK rifles looked. It was normal that he would be unaccustomed when the rifle’s appearance suddenly changed from realistic to fantasy-like.
However, it was undeniable that this weapon looked really cool!
The longer one looked at it, the cooler it became!
Chen Sha stared at the special effects on the Red Kilin for a long time. The red fur on the Red Kilin’s head seemed to blaze in the air like burning flames and move with every breath. Together with the dazzling paint on the rifle body…
Once accustomed to the fantasy-like designs, it seemed to be surprisingly enchanting, didn’t it?
Look at the price.
It was truly 888 yuan each!
Chen Sha could not help but exclaim, “Impressive!”
It was really impressive that the game designer dared to price a weapon at such a high price. He really had the guts!
Normally, prices within games would slowly increase to test the bottom-line price of the players.
