Chapter 483 (2/2)

Compared to the China players of another parallel world who were discriminated in all kind of ways, the China players of this world were living in Game Heaven.

Perhaps this China had been through a happier development, breeding more affluent citizens and leaders. Money did them a lot of good and fun. If the Chinese players of our world had been as well-off during the earlier stage of the Single-Player Game age, we might actually have actual Triple-A Chinese titles, instead of those cancerous, money spamming online games.

It was not like such money spamming online games were without any merit. The only problem was that people grew bored of them in no time at all. The human soul would yearn for something more wholesome, more meaningful, and the body would follow suit.

Wu Shun went ahead, streaming with much gusto. He hoped to bring forward a better streaming experience to the audiences. He shared his inner thoughts with them as he played Single-Player games. He gave the NPCs their own lives and his own judgement of their characteristics, making his viewers feel as if they were watching him play a multiplayer, online game.

It was just like back then, when he was playing “Crusader Kings II” by Paradox Interactive[2]. While playing, he would stimulate the imagination of his viewers, convincing them that after all, such strategy games aren’t that bad afterall. His comments often threatened to split the sides of his viewers. That was quality entertainment content. It was not to unite Medieval Europe, but to let everyone understand ——

Although I cannot give direct orders to the vassals of my vassals, I could just order my vassals to order their vassals.

“Hi, everyone. As a conscientious guide maker, I’ve made the necessary preparations to carry out a streaming marathon. Have you seen my variety of instant noodles and fast food? This stream will not end until I’ve cleared Tale of Wuxia 3’s DLC. I wonder when would those gaming capsules that we read of within the online game genre novels come to real life. I could skip all this hassle”

“Yes, I’m now using the “Overlord Game Console” to play this game, and of course, it’s the latest generation. Speaking of which, this domestic game console “Overlord” has quite some historical heritage. I played with the “Mini Overlord Game Console” when I was a little boy. Now, I’m playing this with the “Overlord Game Console”. All this happened within a blink of an eye. Of course, as a child, the only way I could play anything was to play in secret. Now, I can finally play in the open. I feel extremely blessed!”

“So, let’s click into the online store. Hey! Would you look at that. Popular recommendation section. It’s flooded with these things! As expected, triple-As are easy to spot. Enough said. I’m buying it. Look at that. 78 RMB. What a steal!”

“Well, it’s downloading now. All looks good. In the meantime Yup. I think I should return to the game and continue familiarizing myself with controls. I’m slow-ass, everyone knows that. But a big sword big shield combo complements my style. I’ll be able to tank anything, as usual!”

Wu Shun started boasting about. He looked at the bald, muscular macho that he had just created in-game. He thought it looked very cute. Look at that shiny, bald dome

In the end, his “sword plus big shield” playstyle accidentally pissed off four evil dogs. It ended just as how you would expect. They mauled him to death. This was mainly due to his passive playstyle, never taking the initiative. He would hide behind his shield, waiting for the right moment to counterattack. Yet, the dogs surrounded him and attacked all at once. Perhaps he should have been more aggressive. At least he would have gone down swinging. He was already decently equipped and leveled!

That incident had left him rather embarrassed. But after he saw the audiences’ comments on the bullet curtain, saying things like – “So funny!”, “After all that bravado, he died like a dog!”, a smile crept back to his face and he got his head back in the game. He switched tabs and checked on the DLC’s download progress, realizing that it was now complete. He then said excitedly, “Let us begin the new Wuxia journey! My beautiful and gentle Yan Qingmeng, here I come!”
