To ascend, I had no choice but to create games-Chapter 614 - 351 A Friend from Thousands of Miles Away

Chapter 614 -351: A Friend from Thousands of Miles Away (Part 2)_2

He had never experienced this feeling before; after all, whenever he encountered a problem in a game, he could just pay his way through it, so there was no need for such agitation.

For the first time, he was eager to know the ending of a game—over these days, his feelings for the game had shifted from the initial anger to anticipation.

Therefore, he wouldn’t allow himself to be stuck here.

Biting his nails, he continually pondered over how to solve this puzzle, and finally, he firmly said, “No, I must find out what the real ending of this game is.”

“But given your gaming skills, that’s going to be quite difficult. Do you have any other friends you can discuss this with and figure out a solution together?”

Facing the maid’s question, Qian Xiaohao had nothing but silence to offer.

After all, friends were the ultimate accessory in the gaming world, and even for a rich third-generation like Qian Xiaohao, they were hard to come by.

Having one like-minded friend meant you were a winner in life, two made you Roman nobility, three marked you as a chosen one, and four meant you were bona fide child of miracles.

Even for Qian Xiaohao, faced with friends as a superpower in the gaming world, he felt utterly powerless.

Realizing that neither he nor the maid had a good solution for the problem, Qian Xiaohao could only gather his thoughts and then throw his question onto the forums, letting others help him take a look.

Although he didn’t receive a specific answer, he did confirm there were other plotlines in the game. So, he posted his gameplay video and the approximate trigger method on the forum, then went back to his bed to catch up on sleep.

There were many posts on the forum every day, and his post was quickly considered nonsensical by others. After a few gamers experimented and found it difficult to replicate Qian Xiaohao’s actions, they forgot about it.

If nothing unexpected happened, this piece of information would fade away among the countless pieces of Internet trivia, just like the rest.

Although Qian Xiaohao also wanted answers, since no one else had the same experience, he could only put the question aside for now and plan to resolve it slowly later.

And this question would eventually disappear without a trace, no longer drawing anyone’s attention…

…right?

Seven days before the Spring Festival, Prussian streamer Eric began his live stream for the day.

He had once become famous for streaming “Heavenly Demon” and naturally became a die-hard fan of Fang Cheng Studio, continuously streaming games from Fang Cheng Studio.

In order to better stream his idol’s games, he even taught himself Chinese, learned about Huaxia-related knowledge, and even prepared a set of festive red clothes to celebrate a Huaxia-style Spring Festival with his fans.

“Today we’re going to stream Fang Cheng Studio’s latest game ‘Wonderful Life’. This is a very fun simulation management game. Among all the life-simulation games I’ve played, it definitely ranks in the top three. Why not the first? Because in my heart, there’s no number one life simulation game.”

“First, we can see that this game has up to a hundred professions, different regions, different genders. Oh, only two genders… well, I was hoping to experience the life of a little raccoon crunchy noodle, but it seems I can only experience a regular gender.”

“Different professions have different goals, and you can also get some wonderful items in the game, which fits well with the game’s title. Now, we can see that we can choose a character. As usual, I’ll leave the choice of character up to you all. What do you all think I should choose?”

Although just eighteen this year, Eric was already a mature streamer.

He skillfully used the interactive features in his live stream room to engage with his fans repeatedly and pump up the atmosphere to a climax.

And since this time he was playing a new release from his favorite Fang Cheng Studio, he was very invested in the gameplay, creating an interaction atmosphere that was surprisingly great, which helped him gain quite a few fans this round.

Finding the results satisfactory, Eric was very pleased.

Streaming games from Fang Cheng Studio was his favorite activity; after all, being able to share his beloved games and let others know how fun they were gave him a great sense of achievement.

However, for some reason today, the audience in the live broadcast room didn’t seem very satisfied.

Even after Eric had finished the live stream, they still hadn’t left; instead, they expressed in the chat room that they hadn’t had enough.

[I’m in North America, and I can’t play this game. So, could you live stream a bit more?]

[The difficulty of the streamer’s route is a bit low, Eric, can you take on some more challenging routes?]

[I’m not quite satisfied tonight.]

Looking at the comments from his audience, Eric glanced at the time and realized it was still early, so he could take on another route.

However, the more difficult routes had already been attempted by others; they require constantly grinding for various items and the difficulty is very high, and it would probably be boring for outsiders to watch.

The second hardest route is the mad scientist route, which is equally boring and probably wouldn’t be liked by many people.

As Eric was hesitating, an audience member commented: [I vaguely remember hearing someone say that the job routes in this game can be adjusted.]

[Impossible. I’ve checked every setting in the game and have never seen anything about adjustable difficulty. I tend to think that’s just an urban legend.]

Every well-known game has its own urban legends, like the game that kills you seven days after playing it, the game that prophesied the end of the world, or the game where a cute girl shows up at your door the next day and starts calling you ‘big brother.’

Fang Cheng Studio’s games are no exception, filled with countless urban legends, but each one was endlessly entertaining.

At that moment, Eric keenly noticed that the urban legend had stirred up interest among the viewers in the live broadcast room.

So, he straightforwardly said, “Alright, let’s just verify whether the game’s difficulty can be adjusted. I bet it can’t. Does anyone want to take a bet with me? If we get a thousand people, I will go and verify it.”

The audience in the live broadcast room was very cooperative.

After Eric announced the little wager, people immediately started taking bets with him and others agreed with him, believing there was no difficulty adjustment option in the game.

Once the bet was on, Eric opened up the Game Inn’s “Wonderful Life” forum to start verifying.

“As you can see, Game Inn is my favorite gaming forum. Everyone here is a talent, and they all speak so pleasantly; I especially like it here. And there are many gaming experts lurking around. If there really is an option to adjust the difficulty in the game, or even a hidden condition, there should definitely be some records of it here. Alright, let’s search based on the criteria and go through them one by one.”

Using “difficulty adjustment” as the search term, Eric went through each entry, reading out the interesting finds for everyone to share a laugh.

“This one’s pretty funny. He says the game is too easy and wishes it could be harder. He wants the difficulty to be that the girls in the game could be more realistic, so he won’t be so upset by reality. C’mon, buddy; girls aren’t everything, you’ve still got games. So what’s wrong with a little fantasy? We all have the right to pursue beauty.”

“This entry is quite amusing too. He says that the difficulty of being a chef is a bit high. After all, he’s a chef in real life, and he didn’t expect being a chef in the game to be harder. Every NPC that has tasted his food says it’s awful. I think being able to cook in real life has nothing to do with being able to cook in the game. Besides… you’re cooking for pets, who can’t talk.”

As he went through each post, Eric found that none of the difficulty-related posts were helpful.

Until he came across a post by Qian Xiaohao from about ten days ago.

Initially thinking the post was just a prank, he was intrigued after reading Qian Xiaohao’s detailed process. The post seemed special.

The content of the post was very thorough, with many details that matched up with his own gameplay, which made him think that maybe it was legitimate.

After trying the method outlined by Qian Xiaohao, Eric looked at the character hanging on the screen and couldn’t help but exclaim, “No way, is it actually true?”
