Chapter 1 - 1 Chapter 1 Demon World (2/2)

“i’ll find out if it’s a game bracelet by looking it up.”

opening his phone browser, he directly searched for demon world, and once the page refreshed, countless search results related to demon world appeared on the screen.

“there really is such a game.”

su nan’s eyes lit up, and he clicked on one of the top links.

it was the game forum for “demon world.”

“what a trash game. it’s been a week, and i haven’t even completed the starting task.”

“i’m out. i’m not playing the game; the game is playing me. every day i log in, and i can’t even survive for ten minutes!”

“you can’t create this game without a decade of brain clots. i just want to know who came up with this game!”

…

posts full of negative emotions caught his eye as su nan casually browsed the game forum, surprising him.

after a while, he finally understood what this game was about.

the so-called “demon world” was a game that had been on the market for only a week.

the game’s production company seemed to have some strange ideas. after the game was released, there was no advertising or promotion, and players couldn’t even find the game’s official website. as a result, very few people knew about this game.

what’s even weirder is that there are no game bracelets for sale in the market. the game bracelets in the forum are all given away by the game company via express mail during the game’s pre-order phase.

some players estimated that so far, only a pitiful few thousand people have logged into the game, with many quitting after just a few tries.

the reason was simple: the game was too difficult!

in the game, players only have one life per day. once dead, they can’t log in to the game again for the rest of the day, making the game’s difficulty skyrocket.

this was also why, after a week, many players still hadn’t completed the novice task.

“game tasks are divided into four difficulty levels: one-star is the easiest, and four-star is the hardest, with a huge gap between each star level.”

“for players who haven’t completed the novice tasks, if you want to quickly increase your strength, be sure to choose a one-star task. do not choose tasks with a difficulty level of two stars or higher.”

a pinned strategy post caught su nan’s attention, posted by a player named zhou cheng.

this player must be very good, at least at the current stage of the game, he was top-tier.

“although the rewards for tasks with a difficulty level of two stars or higher are greater, they are too time-consuming and exhausting. even if you barely complete them, the difficulty of subsequent mainline tasks will also increase significantly.”

“instead of wasting time on novice tasks, it’s better to quickly skip them and focus on daily tasks and mainline tasks.”

“i used this method, and now i have completed two stages of the mainline task, and my demon sutra has been upgraded from beginner to great accomplishment.”

zhou cheng’s strategy attracted the attention of many players, and some did not agree with his method. in their view, higher difficulty tasks meant higher rewards, making the game more challenging.

of course, these people are just a minority. more people agreed with zhou cheng’s method, at least zhou cheng’s rapid rise in a short time proved the feasibility of this approach.

but what can they do even if they agree?

the novice tasks were simply too difficult for them.

“god is terrifying. according to the estimates, to upgrade the demon sutra to great accomplishment, you need 14 points of demon power. i don’t even have 2 points yet.”

“no wonder he’s a great god. who doesn’t want to quickly complete the novice tasks? but the problem is, our strength doesn’t allow it.”

many players wailed under zhou cheng’s strategy post.

they knew full well that novice tasks were a waste of time, but the problem was, the novice tasks were simply too difficult for them.

“is this game really that difficult? i just don’t know if i can log in to this game.”

looking at the content on the forum and glancing at the game bracelet in his hand, su nan became interested.

normally, game bracelets are bound to a player’s identity, and others wouldn’t be able to log in even with the bracelet.

but there are exceptions. some players play games not just for fun but also to make money. these people usually don’t bind the bracelet to their identity so they can sell the bracelets later and make a profit.

with a try-it-out attitude, su nan went back to his bedroom, put on his bracelet, and entered the game warehouse.

[consciousness connecting…]

[connection successful!]

[game bracelet detected, loading game…]

[game loaded. bracelet is bound to player “fallen leaf”. you are not the owner of this bracelet, please use your own bracelet to log in.]

“can’t log in!”

“as i thought, other people’s game bracelets are unreliable.”

the virtual text information popped up in front of him, and su nan was not surprised. he just shook his head.

just as he was about to open the game warehouse to exit, suddenly, the text in front of him changed, and a series of information popped up.

[unknown error detected. player ‘fallen leaf’ is deceased. this bracelet is now unbound, and you can log in normally.]

[the bracelet has been re-bound. you will now randomly inherit one ability from the previous player.]

[ability random extraction in progress…]

[talent ability extracted. confirm whether to inherit.]

[notice: each player can only inherit the ability of a predecessor once. please choose carefully.]

with a series of texts jumping, su nan was dumbfounded.

“the previous player is dead? what’s going on?”
