'The usual tradition, the regular segment.'
'Cherish the streamers who can still bark, they might be silenced soon.'
'You really know how to stream.'
......
It had to be said, the old viewers had a firm grasp on Mo Zhi's nature.
Being able to shout meant her mental state was still good, and she could continue to endure the pressure.
"I've figured it out, this game is all about charging!"
"What shield? I'm dual-wielding!"
After dying a few times in a row, Mo Zhi finally found the root of the problem.
The shield was just too time-consuming!
In martial arts, speed is paramount!
Since there were four equipment slots, why not equip them all with attack and attack speed gear, discard defense, and win with speed and frequency?
Mo Zhi resurrected and continued to charge forward, this time casting aside all defense.
With the Bloodthirsty Blade in her left hand and a Rusty Sword in her right, coupled with attack speed gear, her monster-slaying speed increased significantly!
She once again arrived at the elite monster, the Death Archer, and without a word, she went all out.
Giving it no chance to retaliate a second time, Mo Zhi took three strong arrows head-on, and with a sliver of health remaining, she took down the Death Archer.
Ding ding ding!
[Obtained: Vine Rune]
[Obtained: Cells]
[Obtained: Gold]
"Little zombie, you're no match either."
She started getting cocky as soon as she tasted a little success.
After picking up the loot, Mo Zhi proceeded to the passage leading to the next entrance.
The passage featured a healing fountain, hidden stage entrances, and merchants.
During a brief respite, she maxed out her health at the healing fountain.
Then, using the cells in her hand, she unlocked a new weapon – the Balanced Blade lv4!
As for the hidden stages nearby, she glanced at the requirements.
Mo Zhi shook her head and ignored them. It was a joke to clear the previous stage within two minutes or to kill thirty monsters consecutively without taking damage?
Such conditions were clearly beyond her current capabilities.
For now, familiarizing herself with the environment and the distribution of monsters in various areas was the priority.
"The dual-wielding playstyle is great!"
"Trading blows, as long as you can hold on until the end, you can fully heal at the fountain and continue to dominate the next stage!"
Looking at the new weapon equipped in her equipment slot, Mo Zhi beamed with joy.
Having tasted success, she became even more aggressive.
"This Vine Rune is also good, I can directly use vines to climb over those difficult high platforms."
'???'
'I can't accept this, how did she suddenly become so clever.'
'Elite monsters: Don't we have any dignity!'
'Remember this smile.'
......
Seeing Mo Zhi become increasingly proficient, the viewers couldn't stand it. A streamer who doesn't act erratically isn't a good streamer.
After clearing the area, Mo Zhi took the elevator to the next map.
[Rampart: The island's terrain is complex, with a network of paths. You might encounter... many special characters.]
"This should be the third stage, right?"
Mo Zhi couldn't quite figure out the complete map layout, she only knew that she had already defeated two elite monsters.
This was the third new random map, hence the third stage.
The Rampart map clearly marked a departure from the underground world, entering a castle on the surface.
Mountains loomed indistinctly, and in the distant background, a sunset and twilight could be seen. The pixel art style couldn't obscure the beauty and atmosphere of the scenery.
Upon reaching the Rampart, the elite monsters had clearly increased, with stone tablets symbolizing elite monsters appearing frequently.
Mo Zhi was not shy. What's the big deal about zombies?
Just watch me chop them down!
Here, she obtained the [Shepherd Rune], which allowed her to slam the ground.
"Smash it for me!"
Boom boom boom!!
"This rune is so useful, smashing walls can deal massive damage!"
Mo Zhi had a blast in the Rampart. Any ground with a yellow indicator could be smashed.
Moreover, it came with significant splash damage. The smaller monsters below would be left with critical health, and a little follow-up attack would easily finish them off.
Gradually, as the streamers delved deeper...
Various rune and weapon combinations were developed.
Entertaining and memorable moments followed one after another.
Earlier, after obtaining the Spider Rune, Sao Zhu transformed into a 200-pound Spider-Man, climbing walls with the agility of a monkey.
Later, Teacher Ma, wielding the purple weapon [Electric Whip], transformed into Master Ma, unleashing a flurry of lightning-fast strikes like a true martial artist.
In between, Xiao Tuan Tuan, holding dual shields and parrying relentlessly, dazzled the viewers.
And Zhou Jie, a representative of the abstract style, armed with the greasy sword and greasy grenades, became a greasy warrior, going berserk in the game.
The relatively normal one was Yin Zi, whose main weapon was the Balanced Blade, secondary weapon the Swift Bow, and equipped with Spartan sandals and a bear trap – a complete setup aiming for completion.
......
The fun of playing "Rebirth Cell Person" was being unleashed.
Everyone was having a blast playing at the 0-cell difficulty.
Unbeknownst to them, while the various quirky combinations were fun, they also had significant drawbacks.
Relying on a brute-force, charge-to-win approach.
Mo Zhi, with her health potions depleted and her state reduced to a mere sliver, managed to defeat the two formidable obstacles in the Rampart, the Judge and the Sweeper.
At this point, fully healed, she arrived at the entrance to the next stage.
Mo Zhi felt a pang of nervousness.
The dual-wielding style, by sacrificing defense for extreme output, was visually spectacular and exciting to play.
However, every move was like dancing on a knife's edge; a slight misstep could lead to all her progress being in vain.
Having charged this far in one go, she grew increasingly afraid of death.
Death meant starting all over again.
Her hard-earned purple gear, and the stats she had painstakingly honed, would all be reset to zero.
She couldn't imagine how she would react if she lost it all.
This, perhaps, was the essence of the game.
Since there was no saving, death would reset everything. The further players progressed, the more anxious they became, and anxiety often led to mistakes.
It truly grasped the player's psychology perfectly.
"Hoo!"
Taking a deep breath, Mo Zhi cleared her cluttered thoughts.
Worst case scenario, she'd just try again!
She comforted herself mentally and then stepped into the entrance of the new map, [Black Bridge].
[Black Bridge: It is said that fishermen avoid the bridge and approach the prison from the river, but no one has ever returned.]
Stepping onto the Black Bridge, crows scattered from the sides.
"Why is the path so smooth..."
Mo Zhi walked across the Black Bridge, almost disbelieving that the path had no obstacles or traps.
Soon,
the boss ahead, [The Watcher], provided her with the answer.
Roar—!!
The enraged Watcher let out a furious roar, pulling Mo Zhi's thoughts back to reality.
"Oh crap, so it's a boss stage. I was wondering why the path was so flat."
Mo Zhi cracked her knuckles, her eyes burning with intensity, "It's time to test the strength of our Reformist playstyle."
Roar!
Upon seeing Mo Zhi, the Watcher charged at her madly.
However, raising its colossal, rock-like arms, it... A?
Mo Zhi was a bit confused. All that thunder, and just a drop of rain?
Then what was she waiting for?
Wielding her dual blades, she began to stab fiercely at the Watcher's posterior!
Clang clang clang!!
The Bloodthirsty Blade struck the Watcher's armor, sparks flying and illuminating the entire bridge.
Roar!!
In pain, the Watcher turned and roared at Mo Zhi, white sound waves expanding in circles.
Bad!
Mo Zhi inwardly thought it was not good, she had fallen into the old habit of greedily attacking again.
HP-300 (1765/2065)!
Unable to dodge, her health was instantly depleted by more than a tenth.
If only she had a shield.
Mo Zhi watched her health bar slowly disappear with a pang, and before the yellow bar dissipated, she immediately stepped forward for a few more hits, barely recovering 100 HP.
"Not bad!"
After creating some distance, Mo Zhi looked at the boss's depleted 600 HP and nodded with satisfaction.
A great profit!
Crack!
A bear trap clamped onto the Watcher with a crisp sound.
"He fell for it!" Mo Zhi rejoiced, charging forward with her dual blades.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Mo Zhi swung her dual blades with great momentum. Combined with the secretly placed bear trap, she quickly reduced the boss's health by a third.
The Watcher might as well be renamed the 'Give-awayer.'
Just as she was about to feel smug...
An anomaly occurred!
