The game's very beginning is fairly easy, essentially a tutorial level designed to help players get familiar with the various parkour moves.
But Liu Liang quickly realized something was amiss.
Why is this platform evidently higher than in the normal game difficulty?
Why is this jumping gap so large? Can I really make it across?
Why does this climbing route seem noticeably longer than before…
Damn! I fell again!
Liu Liang was baffled, still not having encountered that first zombie notorious for causing players to quit, and here he was, effortlessly falling five or six times, having already spent half an hour without being able to reach the next platform.
"Something's off, isn't it?
"Alright, it seems that the increase in difficulty for Expert Mode is quite significant, but maybe I'm just not used to it at the start.
"Once I get the hang of this parkour rhythm, the rest should go quicker."
With this belief supporting him, Liu Liang gritted his teeth and persisted.
