Chapter 645: Chapter 612: Hell Without Lava
As a well-known anchor, Turner really isn’t lacking in money.
But since he’s a bit of a homebody and doesn’t really like running around, he would never have thought of living in another country if he hadn’t been beaten so badly in the past couple of days.
——These past two days have been really tough for him.
Back when he was still fighting in the T2 War Zone, with 6 countries in the fray, he had more victories than losses and lots of fun, making him more and more excited about the game.
But ever since there were only Russian and Daxia players left as opponents, everything changed.
Now, even without looking at the system prompts, he can tell whether an opponent is a Russian or a Daxia player just by charging at them.
Although it might be a bit of a generalization, in Turner’s experience, Russian players excel at large-scale collective charges and are almost invincible in close combat.
When faced with this kind of “group” charge, France would usually be crushed in nine out of ten encounters with Russia.
Daxia players, on the other hand, are not so dominant.
In large-scale encounters, when France faces off against Daxia, the outcomes can often be quite evenly balanced under normal circumstances.
But what Turner doesn’t understand is that Daxia players don’t seem to have a strong desire to win, and often enjoy doing ridiculous things.
He often sees Daxia players driving bouncing cars, shooting while charging mindlessly towards their side.
There are also those who fly heavy bombers but don’t bomb vehicles, instead targeting snipers, or those who deliberately let themselves get hit to experience how it feels to be a war behemoth, or those who use planes to ram people, or those who cosplay as Zhao Zilong on horseback, or those who “paint” on walls with bullets, or those whose shooting skills may not be great but whose trash talk is invincible, or those who sneak into their opponents’ bases to steal their stuff...
Turner will never forget the feeling of being stabbed in the back eight times in a row by the same person in the same game after reviving.
He really wanted to die in that moment!
As a result, he feels that against Daxia, the match often turns into a messy affair, with any sense of command or strategy completely gone.
What’s even more absurd is that it seems every match against Daxia is a close-fought contest that could go either way.
But when checking the records afterwards, it turns out that in 10 matches against Daxia players, they lose 8 of them...
This is even more frustrating than playing against Russia!
At least when playing against Russian players, they know where they went wrong.
When playing against Daxia players, not only do they lose in an incomprehensible manner, but they don’t even know how they win...
Reviewing the matches afterwards makes them question their lives.
In this heated atmosphere, even teams with insufficient progress in construction could not help but start the battle early.
Just like this, as if a horn was blown, the [Wall of Flesh] expert mode first blood competition officially began!
Audiences are sure to be busy, constantly switching live broadcast rooms so as not to miss any exciting scenes.
Here the [exciting scenes] do not only refer to the extraordinary operations performed by the players, but also those performed by the BOSS.
On Cangniao’s side, he has not formed a team and remains stubborn, continuing to build the arena alone and challenge the Wall of Flesh.
As a result, his arena is only a thin and long strip, spanning across the middle of Hell.
Cangniao starts the challenge directly on this kind of battlefield, and then, like walking on a tightrope, he runs and jumps, dodging lava, falling rocks, small monsters, and BOSS skills while still finding time to counterattack!
This kind of gameplay has excellent live streaming effects and first-class viewing experience; even audiences who know nothing can see that he’s an expert from his agile and smooth movements.
However, the problem is also obvious: the output conditions are too poor, not much damage can be dealt, which will prolong the battle and is obviously unfavorable to Cangniao.
In the end, due to continuous falling rocks that destroyed a long section of the “air road,” he had nowhere to step.
The double jump and rocket boots had already been used to dodge BOSS skills, so he was finally whipped by the BOSS into the lava pool...
Despite all of this, Cangniao is not discouraged. After logging back into the world with a new character, he pulls out his spare equipment and prepares to continue the battle—he has prepared a total of six sets of spare equipment.
Cangniao is not discouraged, because his current goal is not to take down the BOSS’ first blood—he himself feels that when facing this BOSS, individuals have a much greater disadvantage than teams.
So he has already changed his goal to “Single Player Expert Mode First Blood.”
In this way, his mindset is very stable.
During the journey, he even has the mood to pay attention to the situation in the live broadcast room.
But upon seeing the content the audiences are discussing, he immediately loses his composure—
[Brothers! Bandits are starting their live streaming!]
“???” Cangniao stops moving, lights a torch, opens the panel, and jumps to Cloud Dream Live Streaming, following the live streaming room address that the audience provided.
He guessed while searching: “Are they here to challenge the Wall of Flesh first blood too?”
“No, wait...” Cangniao realized something after speaking, looked at the time, and confidently corrected himself: “I know! Night City is currently in the Death Racing competition, right? They plan to do it again, live streaming while blowing up the race track? How arrogant is that?”
But upon entering the live streaming room, Cangniao realizes he was mistaken.
The bandits do come to challenge the Wall of Flesh first blood, but their method leaves Cangniao in complete admiration—
Because in the “Bandits” Hell, there is no lava anymore.
