Chapter 190 - Repent and be Saved (2/2)

To avoid influencing the players with its name and accidentally misleading people, Pei Qian decided to make the name absolutely clear. The game would be called Repent and be Saved. This would serve as an honest warning from Pei Qian to the players.

After hearing Pei Qian’s five requests, Bao Xu was confused.

As Pei Qian remembered, Demon’s Souls was released in 2009. The world that he was in did not have Demon’s Souls yet. Thus, even an experienced and well-exposed gamer like Bao Xu had not heard of such a sadistic game.

Of course, there were a few hardcore games that became famous for their high difficulty. However, he had never seen a game that made defeating players its aim like Pei Qian was suggesting.

The other requirements were understandable. The difficulty level itself was what really stumped Lu Mingliang and Bao Xu.

“Boss Pei, can you tell us more about this difficulty level? For example, what percentage of players do you want to be defeated by the boss in the final level?” Bao Xu asked.

Pei Qian instinctively wanted to say, “99.9999% of them!”

Yet, in his vision, a line of words appeared.

(Warning! It is a violation to create a game that most players cannot win. The maximum difficulty allowed for the game must be determined by the owner’s ability to win it.]

Pei Qian’s smile disappeared from his face.

System, I f*cking almost blurted it out!

I must be able to win at the game? My hand is f*cking disabled!

I can be tortured even in Ocean Stronghold. You need me to be able to win at this game. You might as well tell me that I’m not allowed to create a game like that altogether!

However, Pei Qian did not panic. After all, he was well-exposed and knowledgeable. A small problem like that would not stump him.

I have to be able to win the game?

That would be easy. I would secretly hide something in the game…

I’ll hide an especially strong weapon in the game. Players would only be able to obtain such a weapon after unlocking a highly-complex, hidden plot. They would have to progress in the game in a completely illogical manner in order to get it.

e

After that, with this strong weapon, his understanding of Souls-like games, as well as a prior understanding of the various levels and maps; Pei Qian would spend two or three weeks trying to win at the game. That would resolve the problem.

For the sake of incurring losses, I will work hard!

Once this thought appeared, the System stopped showing warnings. This meant that it was allowed.

Pei Qian smiled slightly and answered Bao Xu, “We will not cut off any players based on design. However, theoretically, most players should be able to win at the game. They would just need a bit of technique.”

The subtext of his response was that if they decided to give up on the game, they could not blame Pei Qian.

“Design the game to be as difficult as you can possibly imagine. I will personally make the final edits.”

When the time came, he would add the special weapon into the game. He would make the game as difficult as it could be with the special, powerful weapon on hand. Then, he would not get another warning from the System.

If players could not find this weapon, it would be like they were in hell. If they were allowed to return the game unconditionally within five hours of making the purchase, most people would refund it for sure!

Lu Mingliang asked, “Boss Pei, the game would be called Repent and be Saved, and it would have mostly Chinese backgrounds. What theme would its world take on then?”

Pei Qian smiled and said, “You can decide on minor things like that.”
