Liu Bo had completely figured out how to play after following the tutorial just once!
The left hand was for using skills, shooting, and switching weapons.
The right hand controlled the game character's movement.
Well, how should he put it? It was easy to pick up and straightforward to control!
But what made Liu Bo happiest was the built-in auto-aim system.
With the third-person overhead view, the camera, and the auto-aim system, all he had to do was focus on dodging.
"Hahaha, I'm practically a god of guns!! That was incredible!"
With auto-aim, Mom would never have to worry about him missing his shots again!
When playing shooting games on the Mobile version, he had never liked the god's-eye overhead perspective.
No matter how many times he played, he just could not get used to it.
Of course, the main reason was that he usually spent more time playing on PC and in VR games.
But this time, playing "Soul Knight," he did not feel that discomfort at all.
On the contrary, he liked the auto-aim system very, very much.
After neatly clearing the tutorial, he immediately accepted a beginner's quest.
Enter the underground world and prepare to begin the game!
After entering and clearing a few simple stages, he could clearly feel that the proper game stages were somewhat harder than the tutorial ones.
But that was exactly what made them more interesting.
Otherwise, always being invincible would be so, so, so lonely!!
"Ah, I was so close! Why does this shield recover so slowly?!"
Having just reached the first boss room, Liu Bo failed to dodge the boss's attack in time.
As a result, he lost his last remaining health point.
And this was his last life, too.
Earlier, he had already used up all his revival chances.
Well, it was definitely not because he was bad. It was just, uh, just that he was unfamiliar with the game, that was all!
"Ah, what a pity. Looks like I can only start over."
With a trace of regret in his heart, Liu Bo entered the stage again.
He planned to challenge the boss again and avenge himself.
However, he quickly noticed that something was wrong.
"Fuck, something's off here! Does this mean I have to start over?"
"No way! Don't screw me over like this!"
Liu Bo's eyes widened as he stared at his game character and let out a wail.
That was right, his weapon had reverted to the starter weapon.
And the place he was in now was somewhere familiar.
Not being in the boss room—sad.
His old weapon being gone—sad.
But he quickly pulled himself together again.
So what if those things were gone? Hadn't he started from scratch just now too?
But when he passed through the Teleport gate again, he was dumbfounded!
Holy crap, this door really was a Teleport gate.
This place was wrong too!!
Where was that huge snow mountain I saw before?
Why had it all turned into grassland?
And where were those snowman brothers?
At that moment, Liu Bo's head was full of question marks.
Still, as an experienced gamer, he quickly came to his senses.
"Is this... a game with random elements???"
After looking around, Liu Bo confirmed it, and his heart filled with interest.
This must be what made "Soul Knight" different from other games!
The monsters, the environments and stages, and the things found in chests.
Every single run was different!
In other words, every new start was a completely fresh run, almost impossible to repeat.
Although Liu Bo found it somewhat regrettable that he could not find that Snowman Boss again to take revenge,
it also made the game incredibly interesting.
It was a feeling no other game could give him.
"Fuck! This boss is way too ridiculous, isn't it? It can recover health after getting hit? That's so cheap, and it actually works?!"
Roused once more, Liu Bo reached the boss room again.
Along the way, he had been constantly thinking over a strategy.
Well, a guide for dealing with the boss.
And things turned out just as he expected. Sure enough, this boss was completely different from the last one, practically another species altogether.
This time, he focused on his positioning and carefully controlled the boss, with no more accidents.
Without any real danger, he brought the boss's health below half.
When he saw it curl up, he immediately activated his character's skill.
Countless bullets struck the boss.
Before he could celebrate for long, he saw the boss's health start rising again, and it was full in no time.
Dumbfounded!
Shocked!
Despairing!
Liu Bo had not expected such a thing to happen. He failed to dodge in time, and after playing for so long, his fingers had become somewhat clumsy.
The boss caught him in an instant and sent him straight to the afterlife with one move!
"Fuck, fuck, fuck! You can play like that too?? Fine, I'll remember both of you bosses. Just wait until I find you again—then you'll see how I deal with you!"
For a moment, Liu Bo was so furious that he cursed in the game lobby.
If he had not had such a good mindset, he might have gone on his way together with his game character.
"Eh? I actually have so many game coins?? Perfect, I'll go try my luck at that Gacha Machine! Maybe I'll get to be lucky for once~~~"
Suddenly, Liu Bo spotted a machine at the entrance.
It looked a lot like the legendary Gacha Machine.
He checked his account again and found that he had so many game coins left.
Just enough for one draw—what a coincidence!
Since it was such a fateful encounter, how could he not pull once??
That was what he thought, and that was exactly what he did.
After spending the game coins, the Gacha Machine began to turn.
Before long, a capsule popped out.
"Eh, what's this? A bomb? Fuck, what a great weapon!!"
After opening the capsule, a dark, round thing rolled out from inside.
Liu Bo took a careful look and recognized it as an unassuming bomb, immediately beaming with delight.
He hurriedly picked it up and held the unassuming bomb in his hands, turning it over and over with great fondness.
Before he could be happy for long!!
Suddenly, with a bang, smoke filled the screen before clearing away.
Liu Bo discovered that his game character had been blown flying.
Not only had his shield been blown away, but his already meager health had become even worse off.
Meow meow meow?
What was going on?
Was the game bugged?
Why did the weapon I pulled nearly blow me to death?
Was I holding it wrong? Or did I step out with my left foot first?
Liu Bo was utterly baffled~~~
