Chapter 233 - Thousand Hells Beta Test (1/2)

Chen Mo and Lin Xue went through a simple tutorial before they officially entered the gates of hell.

There were a few low level demons that had to be defeated to save a few villagers to complete the quest.

After saving the blacksmith and shopkeeper, these functions were unlocked. Of course, there weren’t many functions available, most likely unlocked in the future.

As they entered the gates of hell, countless illusions surrounded the two of them as if they were transmigrating to a new world. This was just actually just a loading screen.

However, a large group of demons charged towards them the moment they finished loading.

There were tiny baby skeletons, skeletal birds flying in the sky, demon snakes with many teeth, giant scorpions with their stingers held high…

Chen Mo used his Volley ability to rain down arrows from the sky at the monsters.

And to be honest, VR and PC felt completely different.

In VR, Chen Mo’s field of view was identical in real life. Combined with the sounds, smells and haptic feedback, he felt more immersed into the game than PC games. He could still feel that it was a game, but many aspects of the game strongly resemble real life.

Of course, the smells weren’t completely disgusting, and were just there to add to the atmosphere.

Using his bow and arrows and various abilities, the monsters in front of him fell one after another.

His character would use abilities the moment Chen MO thought of it. Chen Mo could feel the bow in his left hand and the string on his right. He could even feel the vibrations from letting go of the arrow.

The groans from the monsters came from all directions, as the players become more and more immersed under such a tense atmosphere.

OF course, the players could turn, move, and jump with everything mirrored in the game, making it feel incredibly realistic.

Lin Xue’s Heavens character let out a range of different spells. Lightning rained down from the heavens turning monsters into ash; pouring rain turning the ground into mud, trapping and slowing down these monsters.

Soon, the monsters ahead of them were all gone as their corpses disappeared.

The two of them collected the equipment and monster shards that were dropped.

The monster shards were the currency in this game. They could be used in trading, changed into coins, or used as a crafting ingredient.

Chen Mo used Shadow Walk and rushed towards a small group of monsters.

Chen Mo aggroed the mobs before the two of them used their abilities. Both of them were long range characters, and both were quite good at the game and had great synergy without the need to communicate their thoughts.

After nearly an hour, the two of them cleared out all the monsters in the first floor and the miniboss guarding the first floor. This meant they fully cleared the level, allowing the sun to shine again.

At the same time, the entrance for the second floor appeared.

The two of them were level seven after an hour of battling. They unlocked two new abilities, making five combined with the three they started with.

Chen Mo found out that all classes have a limit of twenty abilities, but were only allowed to carry seven at any time. This was perhaps an attempt of reducing strain on the players.

Chen Mo guessed that this ability system was identical to Diablo. They could pick and choose seven abilities and unique builds with their equipment, with no strong or weak abilities.

The first floor was quite easy as it was just to help players get the hang of the game.

Lin Xue looked at Chen Mo and asked, “Manager, you still playing?”
