Chapter 159 What Kind of Soul Game? Isn't This a Mowing Down of the Grass? (Subscribe)

In Spring City, on the first day of the Star Cup competition, the offline exhibition hall is open to the public.

Games from all participating manufacturers are also listed in the activity areas of major platforms.

The anchor group and the group were the first to flood into the offline exhibition hall. They walked around without hearing what was going on outside the window. Promotional videos from other game manufacturers and even various peripherals could not stop the anchor group from moving forward.

Everyone has a clear goal. The first stop must be to go to the Sagittarius Exhibition Hall on Taiping Road to try out "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice".

When the anchor team came to the Sagittarius exhibition hall with outdoor live broadcast equipment in hand.

All I could see was that the electronic screen outside the exhibition hall was playing a promotional video for "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice".

Players are like hundreds of rivers running east to the sea. Players who came here from other routes stopped and watched, refusing to move.

Cai Gou is taking photos and signing autographs with fans of the Yellow Turban Army. Many players have already started to try out "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice".

Boss Yin stepped forward from the anchor group and squeezed in front of Cai Gou, asking:

"Old thief, do you recognize your boss Dou Yuyin?"

Cai Gou laughed loudly when he saw this: "Master Yin, be careful. When I get angry, I will kill you off my horse in three rounds."

"Old thief, we anchors are here in a group, but we want to experience Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice."

"Don't worry, there are a few places left for Uprising 1 helmets, the ones that are directly connected to the projection equipment."

Cai Gou has been involved in the gaming industry until now and has participated in so many competitions. This is not the first time he has participated in offline exhibition halls.

Naturally, we know how much traffic exposure and recommendation popularity the major anchors' promotional trials will bring, so we have reserved a few spots early.

Cai Gou invited: "How about you try it now? My people have finished debugging the equipment."

"No hurry..." Boss Yin rubbed his hands and asked:

"Before playing the game, let me ask you something, is this game hardcore?"

"This is no nonsense, it must be hardcore!"

"Is it a hard-core academic level or a hard-core operation level?" Boss Yin asked.

Because along the way, the anchor team has already discussed it internally.

If the hardcore focus is on IQ, the anchor team will send Liuliu.

If the hardcore focus is on operations, the anchor team will send Wu Yin.

After hearing these words, Cai Gou understood what they meant and immediately smiled and said:

"Don't worry, this time there is no knowledge test, it's just a competition on operation. However, I will give you a vaccination in advance. The game "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice", well... the operation is relatively hard-core... "

When Boss Yin heard Cai Gou's explanation, his heart suddenly dropped into his stomach, and he waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry, it's just an operation, Cricket Wolf, let me take it down!"

The anchor team followed Cai Gou into the exhibition hall. Boss Yin sat down on the gaming chair and put on the Uprising No. 1.

The real-time electronic screen outside the Sagittarius exhibition hall was connected and began to broadcast the trial process of Boss Yin.

The anchor group's outdoor live broadcast room originally had more than 100,000 water friends, and now the number of people online has soared.

Although the Sagittarius exhibition hall is the zodiac sign and the exhibition hall is of the highest level, it cannot accommodate the large number of players.

Fortunately, Boss Yin started to try out "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice". The players stopped and watched the electronic screen, just like watching an outdoor movie when they were children.

In a gurgling stream somewhere in the forest, the pebbles on the stream bed are clearly visible, and red maple leaves are flying all over the sky, falling on the surface of the stream and even the forest, turning it into a fiery red world.

[It was the end of the Warring States Period——]

【The flames of war that spread across Japan】

[It has not declined so far]

"Crash!"

As the voice-over sounded, a ragged warrior staggered into the stream and walked forward with difficulty.

The warrior covered the wound on his abdomen with his hand and looked behind him in horror, fearing that the pursuers would attack.

[And the country of Xinyuan deep in the mountains and forests]

[Also see the flames of war——]

But when he left the forest, he found that he had just arrived from one battlefield to another.

The sounds of fighting on the battlefield resounded all around, and the sound of swordsmen clashing came and went.

The soldier wearing a bamboo hat pressed his knees on the chest of another soldier lying on the ground, and wiped out the enemy's throat with a long knife.

And all this happened before his eyes, and the wounded warrior immediately fell to his knees in despair.

But when the soldier stood up and stepped forward, waving the long sword behind him with both hands, he wanted to kill the warrior.

"call out!"

An arrow penetrated directly through the soldier's neck.

The warrior was horrified and looked at the horizon——

[Is the war coming to an end? 】

now.

Isshin Ashina, who was in his prime, faced off against his enemy Tamura with weapons in hand.

Fierce duels and exciting fights make the blood of onlookers swell.

"Do it faster, do it faster!"

“The painting style is really nice!”

"Yoshi! It's great!"

Ashina Isshin and Tamura are evenly matched.

In the heat of the battle, Ashina devoted herself to using the magical skill of Wei Mingliu——

Toe poke!

Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, while Tamura was caught off guard, Ashina turned over and rode upside down on Tamura's neck, decapitating him with his backhand.

[The enemy general Tamura has been defeated]

"Damn it, you don't have martial ethics, just poke your toes, right?"

"Children are fighting? Are they poking their toes?"

"This trick seems familiar to me. Master Xing has also used this unique technique before!"

"Hahaha, it's too hot!"

The screen dimmed, and the voice-over slowly emerged——

[Sword Master Ashina Isshin... started a bloody war against the country...]

"Damn, even though the scale of the Warring States Period of Japan is a bit smaller, and there is no difference between a pirate country and a pirate village, I should say it or not, but this fight is really cool!"

"Is this the scale of stealing the country?"

"Nima..."

"The Battle of Robbery County!"

"Hahahahaha!"

When the screen lights up again, the sun sets.

The deathly silent battlefield, with corpses strewn across the field, blood flowing like water, and crows flying all over the sky, chirping, is disturbing.

A young man picked up a long knife from the ground. As he was examining it carefully, the old man Susui approached Zaemon and slashed the young man's face from his cheek to the peak of his eyebrow, causing blood to flow instantly.

"A lost wild dog?"

The young man raised his head suddenly, grabbed the tip of the knife, and looked directly at the old man.

"Oh?" the old man said with great interest:

"Want to come with me? Thirsty wolf!"

[Then, the wolf picked up on the battlefield became a skilled ninja after training! 】

In the room, the young man knelt on the ground, listening to the admonishment coming from his ears.

"Don't forget the ninja's commandments. They are second only to your parents in importance. You must keep them in mind."

A pair of big hands patted the young man's shoulders, walked to the front and said:

"From today on, he is your master."

"You need to protect me with your life. If you are taken away, you must save it!"

"Understand? Wolf?"

The young man slowly raised his head, and the light from outside the door shone on half of his cheeks. The originally childish face has become mature and firm with the passage of time.

Through the crack in the open door, he saw the figure sitting upright inside, the master he had served his whole life - Shenzi Kuro!

"Hiss...there's something about this light and shadow!"

"Who knows the grace of the old man's sword?"

"This opening CG animation is absolutely amazing!"

"Damn, this atmosphere is so cool!"

【More than twenty years since I committed to stealing the country——】

[The power of Xinyuan Kingdom is declining. 】

[The Wolf Ninja lost everything. 】

[Whether it is the adoptive father who raised him or the master who should be protected...]

The voiceover ends.

The screen lights up again, and what appears in front of the player's eyes is heavy snow flying in the sky.

The branches of the pine trees were covered with crystal falling snow, and a bone-chilling chill hit my face.

As the camera gradually moves down.

A man wearing black clothes and holding a red oil-paper umbrella walked towards the cliff at the end of the road.

A slender hand emerged from the figure covered by the oil-paper umbrella, and delivered a letter to the cliff, saying:

"Ninja!"

"For your master..."

"Please wake up!"

This is the end of the opening cg animation.

"In five minutes, the plot has ups and downs. Taipingdao seems to have really put its energy into the plot!"

"Like it hard and start quickly!"

"I can't wait any longer. You guys watch first while I buy the game and prepare to try it out!"

"This plot is so exciting. I wonder if Boss Yin can pass the level with difficulty?"

"Hahahaha, Zhuo, Boss Yin, stop sleeping, wake up quickly, it's your turn!"

As the envelope slowly fell into the mud at the bottom of the cliff.

Boss Yin, who was leaning on the cliff wall with his eyes closed to relax, slowly opened his eyes.

He stepped forward to pick up the envelope, opened it and looked at it——

【Letter from Hanachangpu】

[A letter someone threw into the well]

[For the wolf that accompanies Lord Kuro]

[The Fate Tower is waiting for you due to the Moon Viewing Tower. Be sure to escape from the bottom of the well and go there]

[Even if you are unarmed, you should be able to reach it with your stealth skills]

"That's it? Newbie mission, right? Hold me!"

Boss Yin has a natural preference for this kind of soul game.

Boss Yin began to move towards his destination along the narrow passage.

Following the novice tutorial along the way, I waded, jumped, walked against the wall, and killed enemies with stealth. I discovered the Moon Watchtower standing on the edge of the cliff not far away.

Boss Yin climbed and jumped among the cliffs, avoiding the guards, and came to Guanyue Watchtower, where he saw the Son of God who needed to be defended to the death.

Enter the plot part.

The handsome-looking young man was leaning against the bookshelf with a book in his hand, and he was concentrating on reading in the dim light of the candle.

Friends in the live broadcast room, this is the first time to really see the face of the Son of God.

"Damn, the little lord is so handsome!"

"His Royal Highness is really protective!"

"The little lord is so cute!"

"There is no traffic. If you don't watch other live broadcast rooms, it's just you!"

"Hahaha, upstairs, don't be too ridiculous!"

The arrival of Boss Yin alarmed the Son of God. He suddenly turned around and saw Boss Yin, jumped off the bookshelf and said:

"……You came?"

"Long time no see, wolf!"

Boss Yin knelt down on one knee and said, "I'm here to greet you, Master!"

"Um!"

Shenzi clenched his fists and turned around to leave, then came to Boss Yin holding a long knife in both hands and said:

"Keep your head up!"

"This is your sword, Kedgemaru!"

"My ninja, obey the agreement between master and servant and risk your life to be loyal to me!"

Wolf took the wedge pill with both hands and said firmly: "As you command!"

【Wedge Pill】

[The sword given by its master Longyin Qingzi Jiuro was passed down from the Mingbang family and the Hirata family. Although it was lost for a time, it returned to the hands of the wolf again. 】

[The name of the sword "Wedge Maru" means a wish. Although a ninja has no choice but to kill, at least he should not give up his compassion... The blade may reflect the wish]

Boss Yin looked at the pitch-black long sword in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and did not leave immediately, but chose to search the Moon Viewing Tower thoroughly.

This is the basic operation of an old player!

As expected, on the second floor, Boss Yin obtained a pill that slowly restored blood.

When Boss Yin went downstairs, the plot was triggered again.

The Son of God explained: "Wolf, you seem to be injured? By the way, this is for you!"

Boss Yin once again obtained the wound medicine gourd with the title of classic fruit pulp orange that restores health.

In the subsequent conversation between the Son of God and the wolf, Boss Yin learned about the road leading out of the city and how the two contacted each other, so that he could take the Son of God away from here.

"Yoshi, this is the Son of God? Hello!"

"Escape from here in the early task?"

"Then the role of this Son of God is the NPC who issues tasks!"

"It's finally started, and it's decided to be you, Boss Yin!"

"Fuck him, fuck him hard!"

The plot is completely over.

Boss Yin did not believe in evil and searched the corner of the first floor again. After finding no other resources, he pulled the bolt and opened the door.

Along with the sweeping snow and wind, Boss Yin saw the patrolling soldiers in the distance, and a message popped up in front of him.

The general meaning is that as long as the enemy does not find him, approaching the enemy and triggering the red mark will trigger a one-hit kill.

Boss Yin immediately became interested, secretly observing the whereabouts of the soldiers for a while, and then lurking behind the enemy along the field of vision and covering his mouth.

"Clang!"

Boss Yin drew his sword with his right hand and inserted it directly into the enemy's neck.

"Puff!"

With blood everywhere, the enemy fell to the ground and died.

"Cool!"

Boss Yin looked down at the long sword, unable to hide the excitement in his eyes.

The water friends in the live broadcast room and the netizens watching on the spot were also instantly boiling.

"Damn, is the stealth mechanism so special?"

"One-hit kill? So cool!"

"Who in my family knows this? It's really a big hit on my XP!"

"Wow, I'm going to blow it up!"

Boss Yin continued to walk down the stairs and began to kill soldiers with his sword.

It seems that the teaching is over, but in fact, this is still a teaching practice level of Sekiro.

By dealing with the lone soldier on the stairs, players can get familiar with the stance, ninja kill, parry and counter-slash in turn.

The energy bar displayed when fighting with the enemy is the stance bar. When the stance bar is full, a red dot will appear on the enemy, and you can directly ninja kill.

And counter-bounce is the most important offensive and defensive means in the game. When the enemy attacks, the player can deflect the attack, which usually increases its stance bar.

After deflecting, there is a chance to immediately receive the attack, which is counter-bounce, which can be said to be the essence of Sekiro's battle.

Boss Yin is at least a technical anchor. From opening the door to walking down the stairs, he can basically easily deal with all the monsters he encounters along the way.

Boss Yin climbed the wall next to the gate, jumped down from the air, attacked a soldier, and killed him directly.

Another soldier died after being unable to withstand three or two attacks. Seeing this, Boss Yin complained:

"Didn't you say it was a soul-like game?"

"You old thief still said the operation was hardcore?"

"In my opinion, what kind of soul-like game is this? Isn't this mowing down the grass?"

Boss Yin shouted while running:

"Quick, someone come and give me some strength!"
