Chapter 464 (1/2)
The Accomplished Eminent Monk – “Reckless Kingkong.”
Zhao Youyue activated the “Yu Shengfan” character card as she fought against the thief boss and mobs. If not, even with her slightly enhanced gaming skills from longtime exposure of Yu Shengfan, she might have failed dramatically
“Tale of Wuxia 3 – Swords of the Future” was especially harsh on players when they had to fight multiple targets. This was especially true during the early stages, where players would not yet have any access to AoE skills. Players could only defeat their foes one at a time. Charging into the thick of things would only result in certain death.
Her fans grew agitated——
“Ah Yu’s stewing in her own juice. Everyone was screaming at her and going all caps, KILL THE THIEF! She just had to be plain ol’ merciful Lady Zhao. Look what happened now. Her small village is up in smoke. She may as well end the game here and start over!”
“She should have created a safe point just before she was given the choice to either kill or spare that scumbag. That’s how you leave an emergency backdoor for yourself”
“Hahahaha, Imma sit down and watch Ah Yu get ravaged by Zha Feng’s bad intentions!”
“This playthrough is definitely doomed. It’s totally unplayable during the early stages.”
As her viewers continued announcing Zhao Youyue’s imminent doom, she game like how only Yu Shengfan would, and forcefully turned the situation around, wiping the floor with the enemies who greatly outnumbered her. Unfortunately, the game did not provide an option for her to spare the thief again, for she certainly would have.
That’s right. Zhao Youyue had decided to play as a complete pacifist. Even if it only resulted in more innocent lives being slaughtered, it would not matter, she just wanted to spare lives
She had deliberately created such an eccentric character. This was the total opposite of Emiya Kiritsugu from the “Fate series.” Emiya Kiritsugu always chose the path that would save more lives, even if he had to take some along the way. Even if he had to kill his loved ones to save more souls, he would not hesitate to do so.
This monk had been affectionately named, “Ah Guang” by Zhao Youyue. Ah Guang would only kill when left without a choice. Otherwise, he would be merciful and spare everything that lived and breathed, even if it was a devil, let alone a hero.
Ah Guang did not keep his pacifistic ideals to himself. He would not even allow anyone to commit any murder before him. He would stop all forms of killing. He soon became the self-appointed “ambassador of peace” in this evil orientated game.
It was the most infuriating playthrough ever. Ah Guang was the rebel of rebels, the maverick of mavericks in this sandbox game. Almost any NPC in this game could be definitively killed, living up to the “killing everyone and looting the spoils” mindlessness. Guides related to this game had actually encouraged such a path——
Take a look at NPC “xxx,” for example. After completing his side quest, that would be it. There would be nothing else to be gained. But if you killed him, he might just drop the “xx” treasure. It was an extremely rare and useful item, therefore he would be worth killing. If the item does not drop, you could reload from a previous save point and kill the NPC until the treasure drops
Zhao Youyue did the total opposite. Suddenly, she became the so-called “Annoying Streamer,” constantly aggravating viewers with collection OCD.
At that moment, Zhao Youyue had used her gaming skills to pull off an extremely difficult counter-kill. The live broadcast room went up in a gale of volcanic tornadoes. The viewers incessantly spammed “666” on the bullet curtain. They had to admit it – she had skills!
