Chapter 828: The West Side is Tough, Let's Go East!
"My heart hurts so much..." He Yiming was truly feeling what it meant to have a heartache.
Reasonably speaking, at this moment, He Yiming even wanted to pull out the 'scenario designer' and beat them up!
Thinking back to the time when he led the first beta players down the mountain, he got injured by Camel Beast Riders due to his carelessness. He felt a deep sense of discomfort.
Moreover, recalling that day of pouring rain, when he fought for his life against the Deep Sea King, using Thunderstorm Force to turn the situation around at the last moment!
If he had been a moment slower...
He would have been done for!
It could be said that his journey so far, even with the assistance of other players, had been extremely difficult, akin to walking on thin ice!
But...
"Can the might of the Robust Divine Cow bloodline really be used so wantonly? Well... it seems like it's possible?" He Yiming carefully recalled the system introduction to the Robust Divine Cow.
The Robust Divine Cow was also an immensely powerful existence from ancient times! The most astonishing aspect was its incredible defense and strength!
Although the Robust Divine Cow's appearance looked similar to the Minotaurs in a certain beast world, it had a silly and clumsy appearance.
But if you judged by appearances, you'd be completely mistaken!
Just how strong was the Robust Divine Cow?
A newly born Robust Divine Cow calf could shatter rocks with a single punch! An adult Robust Divine Cow, at the Qi Refining Realm, could bathe in lava, relax near millennium-old ice, and remain unfazed by the threats of the Five Calamities!
Although the Robust Divine Cow wasn't as fast or agile as the Ancient War Tiger, in terms of its sturdy defense and unimaginable raw power, it might be even more terrifying than the Ancient War Tiger!
This Spiritual Pulse Realm Robust Divine Cow girl's casual punch was close to the strength of a Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beast!
How could the brittle-skinned Deep Sea Kings resist?
It was literally a punch per Deep Sea King kiddo!
He Yiming didn't know how the fourth beta Demon Clan players were experiencing the game, but he was sure!
The fourth beta Human Clan and Demon Clan male players...
Were in a pitiful state!
If female players started with god-tier gear and all attributes at 99!
Then male players started as mere worms, not even having hands to play with! How were they supposed to play?
Sigh...
So pitiful!
He Yiming pondered for a moment. Indeed, the male players who chose the Demon Clan were at a disadvantage, and there was a clear imbalance in the racial options!
But upon closer consideration, most female players were newbies, while most male players were experienced cloud players who had watched livestreams for a long time and were already familiar with the game!
Female players had a combat advantage.
Male players had the advantage of experience and accumulated knowledge!
When you compared the two, it balanced out!
"Let's see what happens!" He Yiming thought to himself. This might also be an opportunity!
He could learn from these fourth beta newbies!
Meanwhile...
Inside the Hall of Resurrection.
"Damn, I died again!"
"Respawn in 3 seconds! What a great game, truly amazing!"
"I was killed by a low-level monster using a kiting technique. Can you believe it? Scenario designer, did you need an IQ over 75 to design this?"
"What do we do now? Continue fighting monsters?"
"What's the point? We went over there with so many people and got wiped out. Forget it!"
"I'm hungry. Let's eat first!"
...
The fourth beta newbies were in chaos, with most of them deciding to take a break and have a big meal.
"Hahaha, look at these losers. They're all wiped out!"
"It's so funny. They didn't even learn all their skills before rushing out. They got themselves killed, didn't they?"
"Well, what should we do now? Keep fighting monsters?"
"What's the point of fighting? We gathered so many people and got wiped out. Let's just forget about it!"
"I'm hungry. Let's go eat first!"
...
Within less than twenty minutes, the majority of the fourth beta players had been wiped out.
Not a single one survived!
They all stood in the Hall of Resurrection, cursing and complaining.
"Are they dumb? The lake area is difficult to deal with. Can't we change direction? Let's go to the east!" At this moment, a clever player reacted and spoke with an air of authority.
In less than ten minutes.
"Damn, this is ridiculous! Why are all the monsters in the east flying dragons? They're fast and they can even spew poison. How are we supposed to fight them?"
"What's the use of trying to fight? We gathered so many people and got wiped out. What's the point of fighting?"
"I haven't learned aerial combat yet, and I encounter flying monsters that drop poison bombs on me. What the hell is this? This game's combat system seems like it's designed by kicking!"
"Let's go back to the west. We'll probably have better luck there. Hurry up, to the west!"
...
In less than fifteen minutes.
"Why are all the monsters on the grassland high-level sea demons? Damn it, these sea demons are even ganging up together. More than ten sea demons ganged up on me, a single person? What's the point of this?"
"Ah, I'm tired. I think the south suits me better. Let's go, quickly head south!"
...
In less than twenty minutes.
"I vomited. I went into the southern forest, just dug up a radish, and a Heaven Dan Realm great demon of the Gold-Scaled Tribe jumped out and slapped me to death with a single slap? What kind of stupid plot is this?"
"How is the difficulty gradient of this game designed? Is it designed using butt measurements? Isn't the south supposed to be the newbie area? Why are there Heaven Dan Realm great demons everywhere?"
"Ah, my heart aches. How about we go back to the west? Hurry, to the west. It seems that the west is easier to deal with!"
...
Ten minutes later.
"Damn Deep Sea Kings, damn Camel Beast Riders! Damn the scenario designer!"
"I'm a professional mixed martial artist, and I was beaten to death by a low-level monster like a Deep Sea King. Both my feet were off the ground, and I was hit continuously until I died? Is this combat system designed to be played with your feet?"
"My heart aches. How about we go to the east again and try our luck?"
...
In just over an hour, the fourth beta newbies had gone around in circles, and they were all crying.
Dammit!
No direction was working!
At this moment, most of the fourth beta male players from the Human Clan and Demon Clan had practically explored the entire sect. They began descending the mountain to fight monsters.
Regardless of the direction, they all ended up being pounded into the ground and killed.
The fourth beta had been active for almost six hours.
Up to this point, not a single male player had managed to kill even a low-level monster from the newbie village. It was truly maddening!
But at this moment, a strange scene captured the attention of many fourth beta players.
"Hehehe, I've deleted my old character and started anew! Those hopping bunnies and whatnot, damn it! Indeed, the Human Clan is my complete form!" One fourth beta player said with arrogance.
ID: Dio-sama!
"Well said! Truly our Dio, no less!" Another player admired.
ID: Giorno Giovanna!
"After five hours of effort, we've finally succeeded! It was so difficult!" A third player nodded in agreement.
ID: It's me, Dio!
"Let's test the full strength of our four-person team! Brothers! Ripple Plus!" The fourth player added.
ID: Dio-sama, I'm no longer human!
The four-person group didn't waste time; they immediately headed for the lake area to the west!
At this moment, almost all the players in the plaza turned their attention to these four individuals.
No other reason!
It's because...
These four individuals were truly acting like madmen!
All of them were walking sideways, just like crabs. Moreover, they were sticking closely together, their right arms in front, bodies slightly tilted, walking while twisting their bodies and performing a bizarre dance.
They were also muttering words to a rhythm.
"???"
Everyone looked at these four weirdos with expressions as if they were looking at idiots.
"Hahaha, this is so hilarious!"
"Look at these four fools. What are they trying to do?"
"Imitating the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure four-person group? This is so funny. There really are people crazy enough to do this!"
"They'll definitely die and come back to the resurrection hall!"
"Exactly, everyone just wait and watch the show!"
"I swear, if these four don't come back after dying, I'll eat sh*t while doing a handstand!"
...
Many players burst into laughter, unable to resist mocking them.
Finally, they had found players dumber than themselves. For some reason, it made them feel much better. What a delight!
However, in less than ten minutes!
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to players Dio-sama, Giorno Giovanna, It's me, Dio-sama, for successfully killing the Gold-Scaled Tribe's Sea Tribe Warrior! You have completed the achievement for male players' first kill!"
Upon seeing the system notification, the fourth beta male players who were waiting in front of the Hall of Resurrection tilted their heads one by one.
"???"
What the f*ck?
