Chapter 500 (1/2)
The Utopias Destruction
The CG cutscene alone had been more interesting than an entire blockbuster Wuxia. “Produce CG diligently, and the game is complete.” Players could now start a new meme, claiming that Feng Huo Gaming Company was actually a film production company disguised as a gaming company…
Wu Shun and his viewers were equally shocked and indignant.
Jane Doe Su’s last actions of donning her blindfold once again had struck them with horrifying grief. No matter what, they wanted to dig into her mystery now, more than ever. Their conscience had been unhinged, a void within that simply had to be filled!
“Why would Jane Doe Su be defeated, didn’t Yan Qingmeng say that she would win?” Wu Shun blurted out, bewildered.
A viewer in the live stream pointed out that Jane Doe Su’s route was a dead end. Dying at the hands of LI Xiye might have been the best way to go. What would have happened if she got mobbed to death? A body might not even remain in the end
Yan Qingmeng heaved a sigh of relief. It was as if the death of Jane Doe Su had solved a menacing situation. She knew very well that if Jane Doe Su had not voluntarily sought for death, the one who would have died would have been Li Xiye.
The other martial artists’ only saw Li Xiye’s godlike swordsmanship. A shout of “Swords of the Future” had broken the Anonymous City lord’s most magnificent skill “Fairy from the Wonderland”!
But some well-informed martial artists muttered, “Didn’t they say that Nameless Empyrean Blade had the more potent ‘Man Kim Kwan Chong’ [1], so why didn’t she use it?”
Other know-it-alls said, “‘Man Kim Kwan Chong’ sounds like something more suited for group combat. It might not have been the best choice in single combat”
As it was, the martial artists all believed that their lives had been fulfilled by such a battle in the Forbidden City. This battle between the sword god and sword deity could be spoken of for generations to come.
Wu Shun went on with the plot. His heart was threatening to burst out of his chest. Even if he received a large quest reward, earning the honor of being a high leveled, honored guest in the Kingdom of Zhao, and earned Li Xiye the God of Sword’s maximum likability, the disturbance in his heart would never be quelled.
Apparently, when Li Xiye wanted to collect the body of Jane Doe Su, the commander of the Forbidden City had stopped him. To them, collecting the body of a criminal, a terrorist, a cultist who had committed the most heinous crimes against the imperial court was just as heavy a crime
At that moment, the players were prompted by another menu. Should they help Li Xiye, or should they not help him?
Nonsense, obviously they should help. Wu Shun could finally see that the real main character of the “Tale of Wuxia 3: Swords of the Future” was Li Xiye. The game had exposed everything!
Wu Shun chose to help, so he could not avoid battling the commander of the Forbidden City army. It served as a good substitute to the final boss fight of this DLC. God knows, why was the ultimate boss killed by Li Xiye?
Most humiliatingly, Wu Shun died five times while fighting the commander. His opponent’s weapon was almost cartoonishly long. He also had a big shield, knew how to use combo attacks, and was annoyingly durable. He was quite a difficult boss to deal with.
However, this boss was nothing compared to Jane Doe Su. Dying by his hand a few times was enough of a learning experience for him to learn of his skills and combos
However, defeating this fairly difficult boss still did not grant Wu Shun the usual euphoria.
Something was weighing on his mind.
His viewers urged him to dig into Jane Doe Su’s secrets.
The main questline may have concluded, but an optional sidequest now awaited the players. It was an option to help King Zhao find the location of the Anonymous City and eliminate the Anonymous City’s forces in one stroke…
