Bab 55: Chapter 55: Death Once, Overtime Ten Minutes
Double Chapter day!
---
Two Grafted Scions materialized.
Only after encountering these monsters did Welt realize that this creature was actually considered a minor threat!
No lengthy health bars, just relentless attacks.
After frantic rolling, Welt picked up the only hidden item on the altar and promptly perished.
There's no other reason; his health was simply too low to withstand two strikes.
Fortunately, the items provided on the altar were decent, increasing maximum health and energy by a percentage, and even boosting carrying capacity.
What does this signify?
It means that if skill points lean more towards health and energy, the benefits of this Talisman are quite significant.
Combined with the increased carrying capacity limit, if the ratio between personal load and limit decreases, perhaps it could surpass the line between light and medium loads.
Rolling speed increases, making the character more agile.
With such a Talisman, Welt felt slightly relieved.
"So, our next goal is to continue exploring. We saw messages under the bridge earlier; it seems that is the next path. The dungeon hasn't been fully explored yet; this reward is just the tip of the iceberg. We should be able to find better things ahead."
Welt's judgment wasn't off the mark.
Without good rewards, high-difficulty dungeons wouldn't attract many players.
Games rely on positive feedback; generally speaking, positive feedback must be sufficient, and soul-type games just prolong the process of obtaining positive feedback a bit longer.
"Are there many good things inside?"
Kiana also inquired.
"Yes, there's a very powerful Spirit Ash inside. With Spirit Ashes, you can summon a potent companion to help you through a relatively difficult beginner period."
"Wow~"
"But there's also a formidable enemy waiting for you at the deepest part of the dungeon. After all, there's always a boss at the end of the maze, right?"
"Ah~"
Kiana wasn't too eager to face those bosses.
After all, the monsters inside were ugly and very powerful, making her feel like she couldn't defeat them.
Sure enough, Bronie had created another very challenging game.
But with such exquisite craftsmanship and such a vast world, it brought much more shock to young Kiana than just a bit.
Others' childhoods may have consisted of adventures like Homu Adventure or Arahato.
But Kiana's childhood, under Bronie's influence, turned into adventures and Bronie's games.
It can be said to be much richer than most peers' childhoods.
Guided by stream comments and messages, Welt successfully destroying the War Chariot, and he ventured into the deepest part of the dungeon.
In the deepest part, there was a fogwall.
This was a sign of facing a boss.
"I knew it; this Haxxor Bunny definitely isn't so kind-hearted. There's a boss waiting for us at the end! What's next? It can't possibly be another Margit, right?"
If it weren't for this little statue allowing him to resurrect here after death, Welt's mentality would have really collapsed.
But upon careful consideration, he knew the route into this dungeon; going through it again wouldn't be that difficult.
It's just that the traps are a bit denser.
Then Welt controlled his character and pushed open the door to the final boss room.
And in a dim, cramped room, Welt saw a huge creature that resembled a slug and a lizard.
[Ulcerated Tree Spirit]
No, rather than saying the room was small, it's more accurate to say that the boss's body was too huge, filling the entire space, making the whole room look small.
It's like humorously sending a huge boss from the later stages into this room.
With its bloated figure, coupled with agile movements, it's like a blender's blade.
And he's just a piece of meat to be chopped.
Not surprisingly, after the first encounter, he would definitely die here.
But to be honest, Welt had become numb to death. He only now truly understood the essence of coffin backstepping.
Dying over and over again, then challenging once more.
[Use Spirit Ash]
[That's right, this is when you use the Spirit Calling Bell!]
[Miss Jellyfish is highly poisonous, and the Ulcerated Tree Spirit's movements aren't that fast, it's just that the space is a bit narrow.]
Viewers also began to offer suggestions.
And Welt only now realized that he could use the Spirit Calling Bell!
Earlier when he was exploring the dungeon, he had tried using the Spirit Calling Bell, but nothing happened.
Later, Welt concluded that this needed to be used in specific environments.
Now it seems that it can be used whenever defeating a boss.
This lifted Welt's spirits.
Having a teammate meant he was no longer alone, making the battles much easier, he presumed.
"Yay! He's really amazing!" Kiana cheered as Welt cleared the boss after his third death.
"Yeah, having a partner makes facing difficulties not so bad, right? Sometimes having a trusted companion can help you through many hardships. So, don't try to bear everything alone; sometimes, you can try to ask for help from your partner," Welt added.
"Mm!" Welt also received new loot at this point.
There were Golden Seeds and the Spirit Ashes of the Banished Knight Oleg.
"Golden Seeds, huh? They can actually increase the maximum number of Crimson Tears! As for the Spirit Ashes: Banished Knight Oleg, I don't know its effect, but Miss Jellyfish is really tough, making it easy for me to reach the second phase," Welt mused.
After receiving these items, Welt wasn't sure how powerful they were. Nevertheless, he knew he had to find a place to try them out.
But this Talisman was indeed useful.
After increasing his maximum health, he almost had to restart when fighting the Ulcerated Tree Spirit.
Of course, Runes was also generous. Returning to the Site of Grace Welt, he even leveled up several times.
But this was also because Welt's level wasn't very high.
Now, with positive feedback at its peak, the previous frustration was swept away.
"I'll never come back to this dungeon again, never again, get out of my memory!" Welt declared, looking at the familiar entrance, jumping down into another pool of poison, he developed a psychological shadow of this Fringefolks' Heroes Grave.
This place was more tormenting than fighting Margit.
Inside, you constantly tasted the malice from the game creator, and your heart was constantly teased by the game creator.
The key was still the final compensation, and the rewards were also very good.
At this point, there was laughter and cheers in the live broadcast room.
But Welt opened the game menu.
"Okay, everyone, let's stop here for today. Overall, Elden Ring is a milestone game. The cooperation between Schicksal Entertainment and Haxxor Bunny presents us with a new type of game that has never been seen before, whether it's the graphics, the sense of combat, or the gameplay, it's all very good. The only downside is that the difficulty might be a bit high, but with the Spirit Ash and able to summon a companion, the difficulty of fighting bosses will be easier."
Looking at the fact that he had broadcasted for such a long time for the first time, Welt was quite surprised.
He glanced at the earnings again.
Damn, this is much faster than making money by drawing comics!
Perhaps after sending part of this money back to Anti Entropy, he could still leave some for himself to enjoy.
As for what to do with the remaining money?
Of course, to buy Haxxor Bunny's games!
What else could he do?
Welt felt that he had no desires, so he would just find some interesting works to pass the time.
Managing Anti Entropy?
He wasn't familiar with that at all, it was better to draw comics.
After closing the live broadcast room, Welt lay back on the recliner and glanced at the clock next to him.
Then he looked at the knight sitting in front of the Site of Grace and the Lands Between.
How about... playing a little longer?
...
In Bishop Otto's room.
Miss Amber was staring intently at Otto's computer.
Inside the computer was the character Otto was controlling.
"Bishop, sir."
"Hmm?"
"I won't mention the thirty minutes you spent on character creation earlier. After all, we agreed that after the tenth death, you have to work for ten minutes for each death, but running around exploring the world like this, not dying even once, is this game still fun?"
Otto was quite narcissistic.
So he spent thirty minutes sculpting his own face.
And fortunately, the character creation system of this game was indeed very detailed, so he really succeeded in sculpting his face.
But after entering the game, he encountered love from the Grafted Scion, followed by education from the Tree Sentinel at the front door.
As soon as Otto got the horse, he didn't rush to Stormveil Castle.
Instead, he chose to ride the horse and run around the world.
Strange?
Can't two-legged creatures run faster than four-legged ones?
Are there monsters on the opposite side that can ride horses too?
It's one thing to catch up, but it's another thing to kill yourself.
Otto said he wanted to see how big the map of this game could be, so he kept walking eastward.
By the way, there would be markers for unlocking areas that were not unlocked on the map, so Otto unlocked quite a few maps along the way.
"Is this game not fun enough? The corrupt land, the brutal battlefield, the scavenging bird monsters, and the dying dragons, these scenes quietly depict the past stories of this land for me. The designs of these monsters are also quite interesting. I'm really enjoying myself!"
Okay, Amber now was a bit depressed.
"Alright, Bishop, if you really don't want to handle the work, you can tell me directly. The piled-up work is not a big problem."
Originally, Amber just had a temporary impulse to make a bet with Otto, requiring him to work properly for every death during the game.
Of course, there would be rest time, but piled-up work and handling it early were two different things.
But watching everyone die tragically in the live broadcast while Otto discovered a different way to play was unexpected.
The world in the game is really vast.
Just looking at the scenery can bring him joy that belongs to him alone.
"Hehe, don't think too much, Amber. Would I neglect work? But the answer sheets submitted by Haxxor Bunny to us are really good. It's just a pity that she rejected Schicksal's invitation."
"Do you want to send another invitation?"
"No, no need. If we forcibly bring her over, can she still make games? Let her have enough soil to grow. I look forward to the day when she creates a new game. And this Elden Ring is enough for me to play for a long time. The content in it can't be explored in just a short time."
Plus the learning cost of soul-type games, it's perfectly fine to play Elden Ring for over two hundred hours.
From dungeons to main quests.
And then to side quests.
The content of this game was so extensive that Otto couldn't predict what kind of game Bronie would make next.
Could it be that if he gave Haxxor Bunny the virtual space technology of Schicksal, could she still create a completely new world?
But this kind of thing was just a thought. If he gave equipment to Haxxor Bunny, it would definitely spread technology worldwide.
Spreading technology worldwide would excite Honkai.
Today, Schicksal is still recovering from the losses of the second eruption. Another Honkai Eruption is something Otto can't accept.
"Bishop Otto, please take care of yourself. Playing games and working for a long time are not good for your health."
"Mm, I know, but can you understand my mood? Haxxor Bunny created a vast world of swords and magic, filled with suffering. Maybe I can find a trace of inspiration from it, like inspiration to fight against the Honkai. After all, you see, there is an ultimate will behind this world. Is our world's Honkai also manipulated by such a similar will?"
Amber's face stiffened.
She shook her head helplessly.
"Well, then I wish Bishop Otto a happy time playing the game."
Amber left the office, clearly fed up with Otto's basement dwelling excuses.
And Otto just put on his headphones, clicked on the map, and teleported back to Church of Ella.
Starting from here, he would officially start the main quest.
...
"Cioara, I've bought the last New Year goods, and now it's time for me to show off my skills! Why do you have that expression?"
After bidding farewell to Kiana, Bronie bought some other fresh vegetables in the town market.
Yes, these vegetables were all used to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
And he also invited Siegfried and Kiana to come over on New Year's Eve.
But when Bronie returned home, he saw Cioara looking at him with a complex expression.
"You've made a good game."
"Uh... thanks?"
Bronie tilted his head.
"Are you really showing your true colors after making a big name for yourself? Who taught you to make the game so difficult? Why do monsters have healing detection, and why does the Margit the Fell Omen have a fast-slow blade combo attacks, also what is with that boatman with his instant kill attacks?"
It seems like this game has tortured Cioara quite a bit, otherwise why would she look so resentful?
"Isn't this a very cool design? This gives a real psychological duel feeling of swordplay, shouldn't melee weapons be like this? although the Mariner's OHKO attacks are a joke I set."
"You've hit the nail on the head, but this game is really great. It's the best game I've ever encountered. You did a great job."
"Thank you!"
Although Cioara's praise was a bit simpler, it was still quite useful to Bronie.
To be honest, it's quite good like this. All the overtime work over the months has paid off!

Bab 56: Chapter 56: Do We Always Need to Draw Blood Between Us?
In other games, it might take a week or even a month, with continuous investment in marketing, to make a game dominate most of the online discussions.
But Elden Ring is different.
From the very beginning, with its depiction of a realistic world of swords and magic, to the countless discussions about high-difficulty bosses, and the vast open world, Elden Ring has made its mark.
Even before its release, there were signs on the internet when the trailer came out.
Within just one day of its official launch, every corner of the internet was filled with discussions about Elden Ring.
With its unique online mode, as well as the invasion mode, coupled with the intriguing interaction provided by comments and bloodstains, and the challenging, impressive bosses, Elden Ring unsurprisingly became a sensation.
It even contributed to the global economic recovery, accelerating Otto's original recovery plan and advancing the development of the world.
The pain caused by the Second Eruption to the civilization was akin to a nuclear bomb, leaving everyone battered and bruised, with the lingering effects of nuclear radiation continuing to afflict this civilization.
Repairing such damage would require a considerable amount of time.
Nine years might not seem like much, but children have yet to grow up, and economic recovery is slow. Nevertheless, life goes on.
Bronie purchased festive goods, and the inside of the bar was bustling with activity.
Outside, crooked couplets and bright red lanterns adorned the entrance, while inside, the atmosphere was lively.
Kiana, resembling a joyful elf, played happily in the room. Cioara, feeling resigned, followed behind, tidying up after Kiana, either picking up knocked-over toys or clearing away paper scraps left from cutting.
Siegfried was in the kitchen, assisting Bronie.
Though he couldn't cook, he was adept at chopping and preparing vegetables, having been taught how.
Among the two adults and two children, only Bronie knew how to cook, so the task of cooking fell to her.
Who knows, perhaps in the future, Bronie will become a culinary expert, honing her skills through daily practice.
"Hahaha! The final dish is ready! Come and feast, everyone!"
At Bronie's call, everyone gathered around the large square table.
"Today, in my hometown, it's an important annual festival where families come together to welcome the new year. I may not know many people, but each one is significant, whether it's Kiana, Mr. Siegfried, or, of course, the most important, Cioara. Eden and the others couldn't make it due to some special circumstances, so this New Year's Eve dinner will be just the four of us."
As Siegfried looked at the array of delicious dishes on the table, memories surfaced of the days when he and his wife, Cecilia, celebrated the Spring Festival with their children and Theresa.
When she first learned about this festival, she wanted to experience it and join in the festivities.
Little did she know, it would be their last Spring Festival together.
And little did anyone know that afterward, he would encounter such a festival again in this cold, foreign land.
"Honestly, you seem like a local, but I didn't expect the festival to be like this," Cioara remarked, expressing her surprise.
Kiana, who had never experienced it before, naturally looked around with curious eyes.
"You may have local roots, but not the living environment. Life is tough every year, and only during the Spring Festival does the atmosphere improve slightly. So, I'm used to it. But now, after leaving that place behind, I still occasionally reminisce about that life when I'm alone."
Well, first of all, let's rule out Anti Entropy and Schicksal.
After all, although both sides are fighting against the Honkai, it's not bad for their subordinates.
Why are the Valkyries so loyal?
The truth? Hatred?
Brainwashing?
Anyway, all of these are present, but the treatment won't be too bad. Not to mention Anti Entropy, there are only a few who can go to the front lines, and the rest are controlling mechs behind the scenes. Although life is a bit stricter, the treatment is equally good.
"To be honest, did the person who adopted you often mistreat you?"
Cioara's question naturally referred to another her who grew up in another world and spent day and night with Bronie.
"She only praised me three times in my life. Once was when I was adopted and wore a maid's uniform, the second time was when I almost blew up the city before I left, and the third time was also the last time, when I said goodbye to her."
"She's really strict..."
Siegfried could probably understand.
"Mm-hmm, that's why I didn't give her a good look either. After all, I'm a genius. Later, I ran away from home, and then I started playing games here. But it's not a memorial service for New Year's, let's eat first. Let's not talk about this for now!"
New Year's is supposed to be full of joy, so why suddenly reminisce about the past? Oh well, blame it on Siegfried. He asked herself why she celebrated the Spring Festival in the first place. It's not like she should suddenly be affected by the atmosphere of nostalgia.
"The good days are just beginning now. I'm going to make heaps and heaps of games to bring joy to everyone. A new year, a new start, let's toast!"
"Cheers!"
In a sense, Bronie simplified many of the things to do for New Year's.
Because the environment outside was very cold, they didn't dare to set off fireworks at night, and it didn't make much sense to do so at noon either.
In the end, they just made a symbolic effort, throwing a few that sounded loud.
But for Kiana, it was a very happy day.
Because Siegfried allowed her to go out and even accompanied her to play at Sister Bronie's house. Bronie also gave her new clothes.
Although she could ask Siegfried for whatever she wanted, and he would never refuse, receiving new clothes from Bronie gave her a strange feeling.
She hoped for better days ahead. Kiana made this New Year's wish.
But compared to the joyful New Year's on Bronie's side, in the world of data, within the Elysian Realm, it was a different scene, but still like New Year's.
"Hahaha! Aponia! I've come to find you!"
In the game, after becoming familiar with the operation of Elden Ring, Kalpas began invading Aponia's world.
"Eden, Eden, look, I found Ranni! Isn't she cute?"
"A magical puppet princess? It's quite rare in this world, but Ranni... you can explore her story more."
Eden, having participated in Bronie's game production, naturally knew a lot about the background stories of the characters.
She also saw the feelings of the players from Bronie's perspective when playing these games. It was indeed a proud feeling.
But everyone in the Lands Between was quite miserable. The little ones were miserable, and so were the big ones.
The Greater Will was like a huge hand, invisibly manipulating everyone's fate, operating this world according to its own will.
And Ranni was the rebel.
"Since Eden said so, I will continue to explore! But the traps in this dungeon are endless. Bronie is really naughty!"
"It's easier for boys to handle. This game is indeed very suitable for boys. The plot is too fragmented. If you want to understand it carefully, you need to carefully read it. This is actually very difficult. But inspired by Bronie, Vill-V said that the next time she sees Bronie, she will let her experience the dungeons she made herself."
Inside the Elysian Realm, Elden Ring received great praise.
But playing it was also a mixture of pain and pleasure.
Although everyone's reactions were quick and they were all seasoned warriors, the performance of the characters in the game was there.
Even if you reacted quickly, the characters inside might not.
Accidentally dying and losing all your runes was a common occurrence. Almost all players played this game in a state of pain and joy.
Even Flamechasers were the same.
And Kalpas was even more of a tough guy.
When he heard that Aponia was also playing this game, he crazily started invading. And Aponia?
She was using Agheel's Flame to directly block Kalpas.
After all, why did Kalpas insist on fighting with her in such a narrow space?
"It seems that the relationship between Bronie and Vill-V is getting better!"
Elysia was very happy. And Eden shook her head slightly and said, "The next time Bronie is trapped by Vill-V, please also help out a bit."
"Of course, but Ranni, hehehe, Ranni seems to be planning something big, so how can I help her?"
"You need to explore more for that. Maybe the underground areahas what you're looking for?" "The underground area?"
"Mm-hmm, Bronie seems to have mentioned it to me, but I don't remember it very clearly. This map is so huge that it takes a lot of time to explore, so take your time. I'll accompany you, Elysia."
"It's a pity that this game is a single-player world, saving the world by yourself feels a bit lonely."
"In fact, you can summon other players to fight bosses together. Although the boss's health and attack power will increase, and didn't Bronie connect the Elysian Realm to the outside world? You can totally team up with people from the current civilization."
"Eden, you know about me. After playing online games, you never know if the person on the other side is a beautiful girl or a boy. It's much less fun to play together like that!"
Elysia's request for playing games online with others was quite special.
A beautiful girl was enough.
But this game didn't show that. And most of the time, wearing a helmet directly covered the face, it didn't feel romantic at all.
It was hard to finally create a perfect self, but if you didn't wear a helmet, your attributes would drop significantly.
Faced with such a choice, Elysia ultimately chose strength. It was inevitable.
After all, this game was so difficult.
"For the main plot of this game, according to what Bronie said, there should be several variations. Every decision you make will change the course of the world."
"Saving the world? Although the game is very interesting, if it were placed in reality, it would give people a very heavy feeling."
Elysia sighed like this, still caring about Kevin's thoughts. Kevin, whom Elysia was thinking about, was not by her side but Su's.
Among all the people, Su cleared the game the fastest. No one knew how he did it, but Klein discovered that someone had made a region within the Elysian Realm and accelerated time.
"Hmm?"
Meanwhile, Kevin was exploring the dungeon.
"There's a hidden passage to the left up ahead."
"Got it." Kevin didn't say much either, directly controlling his character to go to the hidden place Su mentioned.
With a fierce slash, the wall in front disappeared, revealing a treasure chest.
Not bad. Generally, the hidden room's treasure chests should have a lot of good stuff.
Then Kevin opened the chest.
But the chest suddenly turned into a monster with sharp teeth, biting Kevin's character's head fiercely.
"You schemed against me, you bastard!"
Yes, there were no mimic chests in Elden Ring, but Bronie liked this kind of setting.
So in some dungeons, Bronie added a few mimic chests, but the rewards inside were still there. It was just to give people a little surprise. Of course, the concept of mimic chests had appeared early in Dungeons & Dragons, and later on, Homu's Dragon Quest also used a similar setting.
But a mimic chest in a 3D game was the first time.
The mimic chest bit Kevin's head and sent him back to the Site of Grace, rendering all the exploration of the dungeon before useless.
Most importantly. This dungeon was actually a maze-type dungeon, and so far Kevin was still lost. He didn't know how he got there before.
And now.
Almost everything was in vain.
Kevin's blood pressure rose rapidly.
And Su laughed.
"When Bronie made the game, it was to bring smiles to everyone, but recently, she has started to show her true colors. While this game brings smiles to others, it also has the potential to transfer those smiles elsewhere. This is my retaliation for you recommending me the game 'Getting Over It With Haxxor Bunny'!"
"Tsk, don't sleep too hard at night."
Kevin's warning just made Su smile.
"Hehe, can you tell exactly when I'm sleeping? I'm a MANTIS with spiritual perception, I can foresee before you do anything bad."
Is this how you use your foresight?
But Kevin also had a clever idea. "Before you foresee it, I'll freeze the entire space you're in."
"Do we have to fight each other to the death?" Su also pointed his thumb at a nearby portal.
"Let's have Kalpas make some room for us. It's been a long time since we sparred. The loser will have to complete 'Getting Over It With Haxxor Bunny' three times!"
"Then, don't cry too ugly when that time comes!"
