Chapter 194 The End of Despair (Part 2)

Although he is only a second-tier streamer, Eric has a large number of diehard fans, and many people are willing to help him play games together, so a team was quickly formed.

However, this team is mainly to help search for clues and experiment methods. The real main force is the game master who has reached the goal of nine weeks in the forum.

"Omen" is very popular overseas. When Eric said that he found a new egg clue, a group of people immediately joined in. Find the secret of Easter eggs with him.

After learning that the final easter egg may take nine weeks to pass the level, most of them immediately said that this thing is too good for rowing.

What they want is suffering, what they want is torture, what they want is this desire to live and die!

A large number of masters of Nine Weeks came uninvited and contributed their own unique cheats. Together with Eric, they joined in the challenge of Nine Weeks.

They began to exchange time management experience in the game, and contributed the time-saving methods they found, so that Eric could better challenge the final boss of the nine-week goal.

Although Qiu Yu's level of playing games is not the strongest, he is one of the few Chinese in the team and has a lot of insights into many things, so he was invited to become active in the game group as a consultant.

And because of his status as a consultant, Qiu Yu found that the way this group of people played the game was really too hardcore.

Every action needs to be split down to the smallest detail, and every time must be accurate to the second. A group of people even have to count the time for turning around. A game is just completed by them.

These foreigners may be a little broken in reality, but their performance in the game is first-class.

Looking at the arrangement of this group of people, Qiu Yu felt that his notebook was a bit thin when he made it.

At the same time, he also saw that this group of game fanatics was playing the game as their own life.

And the nine-week game boss who joined in showed what madness is.

Qiu Yu saw that more than one player started to be online all the time, and he would reply whenever he asked him a question, which made Qiu Yu wonder if the other party didn't need to sleep.

There are also people who give ten thousand word explanations at every turn, as if they have nothing else to do at ordinary times, and the game has become his everything.

All kinds of circumstances made Qiu Yu feel that what flowed in these people's veins was not blood, but fanaticism.

A large number of strategies appeared, and various new ways of playing were developed. Eric's live broadcast of the nine-week strategy strategy gradually became popular, and even many follow-up challengers appeared.

Unknowingly, this matter seems to have become a small game event.

Some game media began to report on this matter, and the gaming organization even started to gamble, allowing everyone to guess who will be the first to successfully challenge the Nine Weeks Game.

And Hoffman also noticed this.

This little old man is especially good at catching hot spots. After discovering that this matter has marketing value, he immediately offered a bonus of 100,000 euros to those players who were the first to clear the level for nine weeks.

That's a lot of money, but nothing compared to the impact it's bringing.

The game "Omen" itself is full of topics. The masterpiece made by the Orientals, the extremely difficult game, and the desperate plot are all attractive points for people to enter the pit.

And this bounty made it more popular, and also made the sales of the game have a breakthrough growth.

A large number of players poured in, and some people had confidence in their game skills and believed that they would be the ones to get 100,000 euros, but they all failed in the end.

Some players who originally fought with Eric also went out independently, hoping to become the first person to clear the nine-week goal.

This is not an easy job.

It requires a good understanding of the game, what each step needs to do, and some random events even require luck to complete.

In addition, a strong ability to withstand stress is also necessary. There will be desperate plots waiting for players to overcome in the game, and other players will be challenged outside the game. Those who can persevere in this environment are all spiritual. Ruthless.

But these mental pressures hardly exist for Eric.

He is not interested in one hundred thousand euros at all, he just wants to see the last egg.

For the sake of eggs, he declined all business orders and began to stay at home.

In order for him to take on the challenge better, his father began to deliver three meals a day to his door, and even allowed Eric to put a sleeping bag in the living room so that he could take time to sleep for a while.

The man was a teenager until his death, and he also had a time when he was crazy about something, and he knew that at this time, he should not stop the other party, but encourage the other party as much as possible.

Three days after the bonus was announced, someone took the lead in defeating the boss in the previous area.

On the fifth day, the penultimate boss was killed, leaving only the last boss.

On the seventh day, the first form of the final boss was defeated.

On the ninth day, the second form of the final boss was beaten to residual blood, but was eventually counter-killed.

Among a group of challengers, Eric was the first to complete the nine-week challenge, but he was not the fastest one.

Many game geniuses have joined in, this is no longer their game, but a challenge for the game industry.

The betting company's odds on him are getting higher and higher, and his popularity in the live broadcast room is getting worse and worse.

Players who are more talented than him are still working hard, and he is equivalent to giving up his basic game and fighting for his own hobbies, which makes some old fans look down on it.

[Eric, forget it, you are still worse here. 】

[Yes, continue to broadcast Thor's Hammer live, you won't succeed. 】

Faced with these doubts, Eric turned a deaf ear and just played his own game.

Behind him, his father is still supporting, and Qiu Yu in the group is still offering help, but he himself is not interested in who is the first to clear the level, he just wants to see the end.

Compared with before starting the challenge, he has lost seven pounds, and he is unconsciously looking at the screen every day, only his fingers are moving on the handle.

The popularity of the live broadcast room has fallen to the bottom, and the popularity ranking has dropped below the top 100. Moreover, he hardly spoke during the game, and only the old fans habitually turned it on.

Although his attention was on the game, Eric felt that his consciousness had transcended his physical body, allowing him to observe himself as a bystander.

It is ten thirteen in the evening, dead of night.

He could hear the clock ticking, the dehumidifier beeping, a cricket lurking on the floor.

His concentration is extremely focused, but his consciousness seems to be floating in the room. This state allows him to observe himself from a third-party perspective, and also allows him to see the mistakes of the characters he controls.

His consciousness is infinitely ethereal, the operation becomes almost perfect at this moment, and the entire game begins to obey his orders at this moment, and all random events begin to serve him.

The boss in the previous area was easily knocked down by him, and the penultimate boss fell under his sword.

His excellent state attracted the attention of some people, and his popularity began to rise, but when facing the final boss, a mistake caused him to be hit directly to residual blood, and his supplies were also exhausted at this moment.

"well……"

A sigh sounded, and everyone knew that this time there was no hope.

In Gao Zhoumu, if you fail to challenge the boss, you will die immediately, and you cannot save it. The player will be sent directly back to the beginning of the game, and all your efforts will be in vain.

And then, the second form of the final boss is an almost fatal full-scale attack at the beginning, and each dodge must be done within three frames (

0.25 seconds), otherwise the blood will be deducted.

This attack will last thirteen times, but Eric will be finished with one.

During this process, masters rely on blood volume to survive. If the previous time management is not in place, if the blood volume is not enough, then this stage will surely die.

It can be said that Eric has now failed.

The popularity that had just gathered began to dissipate, only Qiu Yu and Alan stood at the end, quietly watching Eric's performance.

Although he made a mistake, Eric did not back down.

When the terrifying full-screen attack started, he calmly watched the direction of the boss's attack, and then began to react.

Once, twice, three times...

For the thirteen attacks, he dodged all of them with a miraculous posture, and his mythical heroic posture caused the live broadcast room to burst instantly.

The audience who heard the news held their breath and watched Eric's performance quietly.

After that, Eric was like a god possessed.

The protagonist controlled by him seems to come alive, every movement is full of bright life, and he responds to every strong attack of the boss with strong breathing.

Fluid movements bloom like a waterfall, and shine like a moonlight. His current blood volume will fall if he touches it lightly, but he is like a lighthouse in a storm. To counterattack.

10%...

5%...

The boss's HP dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye, and dizzying counterattacks continued to appear, but Eric dodged and dodged in this almost impossible attack, and then launched brave attacks again and again.

finally……

At 11:43pm on the thirteenth day, the final boss was defeated.

The viewers who heard the news almost maxed out Eric's live broadcast room, with all kinds of congratulations and applause. He received more than 300,000 euros in rewards in a single day, and his crazy popularity directly pushed him to the top To commemorate this historic moment.

Compared with the crazy audience, Eric was surprisingly calm.

He quietly watched the ending animation, and then started the tenth week.

Thanking everyone calmly, he walked up the stairs quietly, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, Eric woke up and found that his mobile phone had been blown up.

Hoffman personally sent a congratulatory message and invited him to Cologne to accept the award, with all airfare included.

The anchors I know sent text messages one after another, congratulating him on becoming the first person in the Nine Weeks Program.

Up until this moment, Eric hadn't felt real.

Until he came to the living room and found that his father had been playing the video of his clearance last night repeatedly.

The stiff self in the video was in stark contrast to the flexibility of the characters in the game. When the final boss was defeated, he saw tears flickering from the corners of his tough-guy father's eyes.

He hadn't seen his father cry since his mother died.

Seeing Eric walking down, he quickly wiped the corners of his eyes and said sincerely, "Son, I'm proud of you."

"……Thanks."

Hugging his father, the joy of victory finally hit him, making him realize that he had won.

But the victory of the Nine Weeks is just the beginning.

He did not forget his original intention, but immediately started the live broadcast to show the truth of the easter egg.

In the tenth episode, he saw that the mysterious symbol in the water tank had been completed, and after all the water was released, the symbol began to swallow the surrounding aura and burst into a strange black light.

A brand new teleportation array appeared above the water tank, and nothing could be seen behind the teleportation array, only the billowing black mist was constantly surging and wandering.

Seeing this scene, Eric knew that they really found the easter egg.

But when he saw the easter eggs in person, he became terrified instead.

He was worried that there was nothing behind the teleportation array.

It may also be only an encouragement from the development team, and nothing else.

But in the end, he still went out and walked into the teleportation array.

Stepping into it, he found that the surrounding light gradually disappeared, and his entire field of vision gradually dimmed.

The surroundings are full of dark fog, no light, no guidance, Eric is the only one left here, walking aimlessly in the world full of black fog.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he found that the surrounding black mist had dissipated, and he walked in front of a huge altar.

This altar looks like a high platform used for sacrifice in ancient times. The half-meter-high stone steps extend upwards layer by layer. The entire high platform can't see the end at a glance, making it impossible to imagine how high it is.

Even though he started to fly with the sword, it took him ten minutes to reach the finish line. On the spacious platform, a handsome young man sat cross-legged, looking at Eric who flew up with a chuckle.

"Thank you fellow daoist for your help. Help me find this trace of spirituality. Although I haven't been resurrected yet, with this trace of spirituality as a guide, I don't think it will be far away."

After finishing speaking, the young man looked at Eric again, and asked suspiciously: "It's strange, why is your body made of mana, but you are a barbarian inside? After thousands of years, have you all spent so much time playing?"

"Forget it, it's okay. In order to thank you, if you want anything, just tell me."

Looking at the young man, Eric felt that the other party was not facing the game character, but was talking to himself.

Just as he was thinking about how to express to the other party that he wanted a perfect ending, he saw the young man holding his stomach and laughing wildly.

"Innocent, you have worked so hard to come here, but it's just for a perfect ending? All of this was done by me, the Sad Demon Lord, and you asked me to make them consummated? It's so ridiculous, so ridiculous!"

After laughing, he looked at Eric and said, "It's impossible to have a perfect ending. As long as I'm here, everything can't be perfect! I'm the Demon Lord of Sadness, and despair is my best food, not just in this world , including you will also become my merit... Great Heavenly Venerable?"

The next moment, Eric's screen went completely black.
