Chapter 157 New role-playing task (end of this volume)

Ye Luo's speedrun video once again fueled the popularity of "Walk with Darkness".

More and more players began to enter the speedrun of this game, some ran the regular difficulty, and some ran the expert difficulty random map. These masters showed their special abilities and began to roll up.

Even many players who don't run speedruns at all, watch it with relish.

Some players even followed several Speedrunners, and switched to the live broadcast room every day when they had nothing to do, expecting someone to break the new world record at any time.

All recent games don't have this kind of treatment.

In fact, "Overcoming Difficulties with Cats" also has speedruns, but the speedrun live broadcast effect of this game is average, so it's just that the popularity of the video is relatively high.

But "Walk with Darkness" is the speed pass live broadcast and the popularity is also very high!
This is obviously inseparable from the perfect difficulty setting and level setting of this game.

It is precisely because the parkour difficulty of this game is very high, and the horror game naturally has a threshold, so it is possible to better distinguish the player's level.This kind of game is more interesting when speedrunning.

In the foreseeable future, the speedrunning record of "Walking with Darkness" should be repeatedly broken within a few months or even a year or two, and this game will surely go down in history and become a milestone in horror games work!
In addition to speedrunners, this game also has a great impact on ordinary players.

Many players have said that after playing "Walk with Darkness", the levels in other games are simply too simple!

Even if you just pass the regular difficulty, you can be called a superman in other games.

This is like some high-difficulty action games. After mastering it proficiently, the battles in general role-playing games will not be difficult for players at all.

Therefore, in order to hone their skills, many players also came to "Walk with Darkness" to learn, and jokingly called the cat in it "Mr. Cat".

"Learn parkour with Mr. Cat" has also become a meme in the game circle recently.

In order to further improve their parkour and climbing skills, many players have signed up for parkour and rock climbing classes offline to learn basic movements, which has set off a trend.

……

For players, the game "Walk with Darkness" is enough for them to play for a long time.

Even many players will experience it repeatedly, until they have figured out every stone and every crack in every building in this game, and then they will reluctantly play other games.

Like many action games, players often play for hundreds or thousands of hours.

Some good games with high difficulty have this kind of charm.

However, for Lu Zhixing and 404 Studio, the development of "Walk with Darkness" has almost come to an end.

Shortly after the official release of "Walk with Darkness", the only remaining role-playing tasks have been completed.

[Mainline role-playing task 1-the invested myth-maker has been completed! 】

[Rewards obtained: life skills - Koi Possession, life skills - ultimate aura, 800 points! 】

This role-playing task does not give any materials, but instead has two life skills.

These two life skills are detailed below.

[Possession of koi: You are possessed by koi, and those who invest or help you will naturally get some good luck.The closer the connection, the more pronounced the effect of getting good luck. 】

[Extreme Aura: You will have an extreme aura, which will continuously affect the people around you.With the improvement of your various physical fitness indicators, the upper limit of various physical fitness indicators of the people around you will also increase.The specific promotion situation depends on the distance of the relationship with you. 】

These two life skills can be understood as some kind of halo effect, but the former increases good luck, while the latter increases the upper limit of physical fitness indicators of people around.

For example, for these people in the 404 studio, their various physical indicators will also improve with the improvement of Lu Zhixing.

Of course, their upper limit is far lower than that of Lu Zhixing, and those who are close to each other will improve more, while those who are far away will improve less. If the relationship is broken, this effect will naturally disappear.

Although these two skills are not of obvious benefit to Lu Zhixing, they are very helpful for his future plans.

[Complete all three mainline role-playing tasks and get extra rewards: Multiplayer role-playing rules take effect permanently! 】

This is what Lu Zhixing needs most.

He has already tasted the sweetness before, whether it is the employees of 404 studio practicing rock climbing and parkour, or the cats and cats in the studio releasing their nature, they can all help him greatly improve his performance.

Without these people, Lu Zhixing's performance might have been delayed for a long time.

Not only does it increase the risk of social death, but it may also slow down the normal development progress of the game.

And now Lu Zhixing has also acquired a new life skill: Limit Aura.

This means that everyone in the 404 studio can withstand more rigorous tossing, oh no, the test!
In this way, the performance progress will definitely improve faster, right?

Lu Zhixing looked expectantly at the new game prompt in his field of vision.

[Congratulations to the player for successfully completing all three role-playing tasks and entering the next role-playing cycle! 】

[Time limit for this cycle: 60 days]

The game prompts in his field of vision were still being refreshed constantly, but Lu Zhixing almost spit out a mouthful of old blood when he saw the first role-playing target.

[Mainline role-playing task 1: Please play the role of a martial arts master who doesn't talk about martial arts! 】

"God, a martial arts master who doesn't talk about martial arts!"

How is it such a contradictory acting goal again!
It is said that he is a master of martial arts. No matter how you look at it, you have to be a person who is very good at martial arts to become a master of martial arts, right?

If you don't talk about Wude, how can you be a master?
Looking at the brand new role-playing target, Lu Zhixing fell into deep thought.

……

At the same time, in an indoor parkour hall in Yangcheng.

Tong Zhuo is staring at a black cat.

The black cat's eyes were staring like glass balls, sitting on a high platform dedicated to parkour.

Tong Zhuo, on the other hand, squatted opposite it, with both hands on the ground, trying to make the same posture as it.

One person and one cat stalemate for a long time.

Tong Zhuo finally sat down uncontrollably: "This is totally unreasonable! The body structure of a cat is different from that of a human, how can it be imitated!

"I can't last long just learning how to squat like a cat, let alone the kind of parkour that requires both hands and feet..."

Tong Zhuo was a little discouraged. Since he got the "cheat book" from Lu Zhixing, he adopted a little black cat of the same style as in "Walking with Darkness". He observed the cat every day and imitated its behavior. action.

The result... Naturally, it was a waste of work.

He was very puzzled, Lu Zhixing obviously imitated the cat's movements?
Moreover, it seems that the little black cat is the most imitated, and the protagonist in "Walk with Darkness" is also a little black cat.It's okay to use the little black cat to practice, right?
But why is there no progress at all?
Tong Zhuo always felt that there might be something wrong with some part of himself, or that there were some internal skills and mental methods that Lu Zhixing gave him that were not clearly stated.

If you continue to practice like this, I'm afraid it's a waste of work.

"No, it's a waste of effort.

"I have to get in touch with Mr. Lu more closely to know more details!

"Well... how about I go to the 404 studio for an interview? Interview with a motion capturer or something? Maybe following Mr. Lu, I can learn the true meaning of this cat parkour method?"

Tong Zhuo made up his mind and immediately booked a high-speed rail ticket to Jinghai.

He is going to return to Jinghai, and go to Studio 404 to learn from his teacher!
"Meow!"

The little black cat let out a cry.

"Don't go, you can just play in this hall, anyway, the owner of the parkour hall is my friend, and he also likes cats very much, so he can take good care of you." Tong Zhuo comforted.

"Meow!"

The little black cat slapped its paws on the ground and made a fierce expression in protest.

"Ah? You don't want to?

"But I went to the 404 studio to apply for a job, so I don't know if I can bring a cat with me.

"Eh? No, other companies are definitely not allowed to bring cats, but 404 Studio...maybe it's okay!
"Also, if you want to practice cat parkour, cats should be regarded as teaching materials, right? It's really impossible to go to class without teaching materials."

Tong Zhuo thought for a while: "Okay, then I will take you with me!"

"Meow!" The little black cat made a satisfied sound.

After booking the high-speed rail ticket, Tong Zhuo prepared various things such as the flight case and pee pad for consigning pets. One person and one cat were ready to set off to Jinghai!
