Chapter 157 New role-playing mission (end of this volume)
Ye Luo's speedrunning video once again added fuel to the popularity of "Walking with Darkness".
More and more players are beginning to enter the speedrun of this game. Some are running on regular difficulty, and some are running on random maps on expert difficulty. These masters show their talents and start to speed up.
Even many players who don’t do speedrunning at all watch it with great interest.
Some players even follow several speedrun anchors, switching between live streams every day when they have nothing to do, expecting someone to break a new world record at any time.
None of the recent games have this kind of treatment.
In fact, "Overcoming Difficulties with Cats" also has speedrunning, but the speedrunning live broadcast effect of this game is average, so it is just the video recording that is more popular.
But "Walking with Darkness" is a speed pass live broadcast and is very popular!
This is obviously inseparable from the game’s perfect difficulty settings and level settings.
It is precisely because the parkour difficulty of this game is very high, and horror games naturally have thresholds, that the level of players can be better distinguished. This kind of game is more interesting to speed through.
In the foreseeable future, the speed record of "Walking with Darkness" should be broken repeatedly within a few months or even a year or two, and this game will definitely go down in history and become a milestone in horror games.
work!
In addition to speedrunners, this game also has a great impact on ordinary players.
Many players have said that after playing "Walking with Darkness", the levels in other games are simply too simple!
Even if you just clear the normal difficulty level, you can still be called a superman in other games.
This is like some difficult action games. After mastering it, the battles in general role-playing games will not be difficult for players at all.
Therefore, in order to hone their skills, many players have also come to "Walking with Darkness" to learn, and jokingly call the cats in it "Cat Teacher".
"Learn parkour from Mr. Cat" has become a meme in the gaming circle recently.
In order to further improve their parkour and climbing skills, many players have signed up for offline parkour and rock climbing classes to learn basic movements, which has set off a trend.
…
For players, the game "Walking with Darkness" is enough for them to play for a long time.
Even many players will play it over and over again, and only after they have figured out every stone and crack in every building in this game will they be reluctant to play other games.
Just like many action games, players often play it for hundreds or thousands of hours.
Some good and difficult games have this kind of charm.
However, for Lu Zhixing and 404 Studio, the development of "Walking with Darkness" has almost come to an end.
Shortly after the official release of "Walking with Darkness", the remaining role-playing missions were completed.
[Main role-playing mission 1-The Invested Myth Creator has been completed!]
[Reward obtained: Life Skill-Koi Possession, Life Skill-Extreme Halo, 800 points!]
This role-playing task does not provide any materials, but instead provides two life skills.
These two life skills are detailed below.
[Possessed by koi fish: If you are possessed by koi fish, people who invest or help you will naturally get some good luck. The closer the connection, the more obvious the effect of getting good luck. 】
[Extreme Aura: You will have an extreme aura, and this aura will continue to affect the people around you. As your physical fitness indicators increase, the upper limits of the physical fitness indicators of those around you will also increase. The specific improvement is,
It depends on the distance of the relationship with you.】
Both of these life skills can be understood as some kind of halo effect, except that the former increases good luck, while the latter increases the upper limit of physical fitness indicators of people around you.
For example, the physical fitness indicators of these people in Studio 404 will also improve with the improvement of Lu Zhixing.
Of course, their upper limit is far lower than that of Lu Zhixing, and people with close relationships will improve more, while people with distant relationships will improve less. If the relationship is broken, this effect will naturally disappear.
Although these two skills did not have obvious benefits for Lu Zhixing, they were very helpful for his future plans.
[Have completed all three main-line role-playing missions and received additional rewards: multi-player rules are permanently in effect!]
This is what Lu Zhixing needs most.
He has already tasted the benefits before. Whether it is the employees of Studio 404 who practice rock climbing and parkour, or the cats in the studio who unleash their natural instincts, they can help him greatly improve his acting progress.
Without these people, Lu Zhixing's performance might have been delayed for a long time.
Not only does it increase the risk of community death, it may also slow down the normal development progress of the game.
And now Lu Zhixing has also obtained a new life skill: Extreme Halo.
This means that everyone in Studio 404 can withstand more rigorous tossing, oh no, the test!
In this way, the performance progress will definitely increase faster, right?
Lu Zhixing looked expectantly at the new game prompts in his field of vision.
[Congratulations to the player for successfully completing all three role-playing tasks and entering the next role-playing cycle! 】
[Performance time limit of this cycle: 60 days]
The game prompts in his field of vision were constantly refreshing, but Lu Zhixing almost spat out a mouthful of blood just when he saw the first role-playing target.
[Main role-playing mission 1: Please play the role of a martial arts master who does not practice martial arts!]
"God damn the martial arts master who doesn't respect martial ethics!"
Why is it such a contradictory goal?
It is said that he is a Chuanwu Master. No matter how you look at it, you must be a person with great martial arts ethics to become a Chuanwu Master, right?
If you don't practice martial arts, how can you be a master?
Looking at the new role-playing target, Lu Zhixing fell into deep thought.
…
At the same time, in an indoor parkour hall in Yangcheng.
Tong Zhuo was staring at a black cat with big eyes and small eyes.
The black cat's eyes were as wide as glass balls, sitting on a high platform dedicated to parkour.
Tong Zhuo, on the other hand, squatted opposite it, put his hands on the ground, and tried hard to make the same posture as it.
One person and one cat were in a stalemate for a long time.
Tong Zhuo finally sat down uncontrollably: "This is unreasonable at all! The body structure of cats is different from that of humans, how can it be imitated?
"I can't last long just learning how to squat like a cat, let alone the kind of parkour that requires the use of both hands and feet..."
Tong Zhuo was a little discouraged. After getting the "secret book" from Lu Zhixing, he adopted a little black cat of the same style as in "Walking with Darkness". He would observe the cat and imitate its behavior every day when he had nothing to do.
action.
As a result...it was all in vain.
He was very puzzled. Lu Zhixing clearly imitated the cat's movements?
Moreover, the little black cat seems to be imitated the most. The protagonist in "Walking with Darkness" is also a little black cat. Is there anything wrong with practicing with a little black cat?
But why is there no progress at all?
Tong Zhuo always felt that there might be something wrong with him, perhaps because there were some internal skills and mental methods that were not written down in the secret book given to him by Lu Zhixing.
If you continue practicing like this, your work will probably be in vain.
"No, this is a waste of effort.
“I have to get closer to Mr. Lu to know more details!
"Hmm... How about I go to Studio 404 for an interview? Interview as a motion capturer or something? Maybe by following Mr. Lu, I can learn the true meaning of cat parkour?"
Tong Zhuo made up his mind and immediately booked a high-speed rail ticket to Jinghai.
He is going to return to Jinghai and go to Studio 404 to learn from his master!
"Meow!"
The little black cat meowed.
"Don't go, just play in this park. Anyway, the owner of the parkour center is my friend. He also likes cats very much and can take good care of you." Tong Zhuo comforted.
"Meow!"
The little black cat slapped its paws on the ground and made a fierce expression in protest.
"Ah? You don't want to?
“But I’m applying for a job at Studio 404, so it’s not certain whether I can bring my cat with me.
"Huh? No, other companies definitely can't bring cats, but 404 Studio... maybe it's possible!
"Besides, if you want to practice cat parkour, cats should be considered as teaching materials, right? It's really impossible to go to class without teaching materials."
Tong Zhuo thought for a while: "Okay, then I'll take you with me!"
"Meow!" The little black cat then made a satisfied sound.
After booking the high-speed rail tickets, Tong Zhuo also prepared various things such as flight boxes and changing mats for checked pets. One person and one cat were ready to leave for Jinghai!
