Inside the pure-white Construction Space.
Lu Xiu had just finished another grueling round of punishment. She sat cross-legged on the floor, steadying her breathing.
In roleplay mode, physical exhaustion faded quickly.
But the strain of staying on high alert took longer to shake off.
Especially when so many scenes had her surrounded by enemies...
Lu Xiu had barely faced any proper one-on-one fights.
Still, she had held on.
And she really was improving—at least she had yet to die of old age.
Just as she was about to adjust the layout of a few scenes to make her moves easier to pull off...
Ding.
A message window popped up.
Yan Fushou had sent her a message.
[Yan Fushou: Here's some information on an independent instance made by players in Prison Rock. See if it interests you.]
"An instance from Prison Rock?"
Curious, Lu Xiu opened the file Yan Fushou had sent along with the message.
She was already familiar with independent instances in the Nine Provinces.
But an instance from another world? She had never tried one.
What would be different about it?
She skimmed through the file.
"Abandon all weapons... brutal fights with nothing but your fists... bare-handed combat where every blow lands?"
Lu Xiu raised an eyebrow, surprise crossing her beautiful face.
Why did that sound so much like the core mechanic of the instance she was building?
In Sifu, the original game her instance was based on, players could attack with all kinds of objects scattered around the ground.
Those counted as weapons.
But Lu Xiu had removed every last one.
No Jackie Chan antics allowed!
She was mainly worried she would resort to some ridiculous trick to clear the instance, like using weapons to bypass a challenge.
She was here to learn how to fight bare-handed!
