Chapter 472 (1/2)

The Nameless Girl Needs No Advertising

A well-known game producer like Zha Feng had an advantage over the average creators. Sometimes, he could throw out a general outline or idea, and the miscellaneous facts – such as fine details would be filled in by professional screenwriters.

The most awe-inspiring scene in that surreal, intoxicating experience he just had was – “The Duel.” He decided to put all his energy into producing that particular CGI cutscene, but that would leave him with insufficient heart and soul into the rest of the game. He wanted to make it so good that no matter which path a player chose, they would be able to appreciate this iconic scene, which he believed was beyond compare in the entirety of Wuxia history

Of course, those who decide to kill off Jane Doe Su in the hopes of some equipment would never be able to experience this scene.

But how you do you even kill this nameless girl? She was as strong as the “Sword God” Li Xiye. If you directly confronted her, it would be no different from crossing blades with the Sword God himself! She only made an appearance while attempting to save other players, but her chances of getting wounded were actually very slim. After all, it was uncommon for players to fight six or seven undead curs all at once, unless the player was deliberately doing it to trigger her scene, or just plain suicidal.

Regardless, a player would have to be closing in on death. If a fight was too simple, the girl would not appear.

Therefore, the highest possibility of the nameless girl appearing was when players were struggling against a miniboss. Specifically, she would appear when the players are just about to get slaughtered by the miniboss, which would be so embarrassing that they would feel like quitting the game.

Jane Doe Su would appear out of nowhere crashing a boss fight like how Cinderella crashes balls. With her bedazzling swordplay, she would make quick work of the mini boss. Of course, in the process, the nameless girl would be tumbling[1] about adeptly…

One could only blame the game mechanics for making the most graceful of girls rolling about in the dust. How do you even kill a boss in this game, if you can’t even tumble about?

Nobody stands flat-footed before a boss, unless somebody actually trained their bodies rigorously to the point of superhuman durability, which was unheard of. Otherwise, a non-tumbler was as good as a non-living being…

For a peerless master such as Jane Doe Su, a single, small boss was basically a punching bag. Players would be able to observe her movements and learn from how she fought. She would make it seem like a walk in the park or rather take her bitch out for a walk in the park, the bitch being the miniboss.

She would be able to kill the miniboss without a single scratch. In such circumstances, players might not be able to kill their great savior for potentially great rewards even if they wanted to…

Food for thought. When the figures that Zhao Youyue has possessed up until now are manifested in reality, were they just coding, programs, autopilot functions that took over the control of some of her activities?

Who knows. Back to the game. Some smart players might be extremely fascinated —- —- this nameless girl seemed to be an intelligent NPC. Was she actually sentient?

Or, could she be that so-called “anomaly” that appeared in many online game novels and acquired consciousness on her volition?

Of course, Zha Feng would never underestimate skeptical, imaginative players. He has seen some uploaders on Bilibili. Some uploaders were particularly good at playing the game. They could quickly and casually crack the many “conspiracies” and “evil intentions” within his game. He could only comfort himself by saying that these uploaders could only do so because they had sacrificed their time and lives and died countless of times

In fact, he wished to see more players like “Ah Yu,” who crushed the game via bruteforce, after stepping into trap after trap. Her skills were almost a form of art on their own, and that did his game absolute justice!

Other streamers might just discover a bug and exploit it to no end. That exploit might result from something small like a graphical glitch, to a shortcut that led them to a premature completion. They would even propagate these methods to benefit the masses. This displeased Zha Feng, even if such videos increased the sales of his game

Zha Feng was very confident that some godly players would be able to kill the nameless girl. After all, some players have even killed “Sword God” Li Xiye. That had triggered a hidden storyline. It was apparent that Zha Feng was already fully prepared for such a possibility.
