It didn't take long for Li Jingsi to find herself in the game world.
She was in a desolate graveyard. Everything was grey, desolate and broken, as if it was filled with ashes and human remains.
There were many skeletons in front of her, and they blended in well with the environment without any UI.
She couldn't tell if they were corpses on the side of the road, or monsters that could hurt people.
There was a bunch of words carved on the ground. Li Jingsi bent over to take a look and found some basic controls of the game.
She then looked down at herself. She was wearing silver Knight armor, with a shield in her left hand and a sword in her right.
Since this was only a demo, there weren't any other classes available. Everyone was a Knight by default.
At this moment, Chen Mo and Qian Kun were looking at Li Jingsi's first-person view through the monitor.
Li Jingsi raised her shield, rolled around, brandished her sword, and used her combat skills. She wandered in the same place for five minutes without taking a single step forward.
Qian Kun was shocked, "What's she doing? Familiarizing herself with her skills? "
Chen Mo rolled his eyes, "What else? Don't tell me they're dancing? "
Qian Kun was speechless.
Different players would have different ways of playing the game. Most players were very relaxed when playing the game, and didn't really care about the notifications or the story. They just kept moving forward, and it didn't matter when they cleared the game.
Therefore, many game developers would simplify and make the game brainless to suit the needs of these players, such as mandatory beginner guides and skippable story arcs, so that the players could play the game without thinking.
However, there were other players who would experience symptoms similar to OCD when playing the game.
She had to read all the text in the game word for word.
She had to be familiar with all the playstyles allowed in the game.
She would only continue when she felt that she could handle most situations.
Not only did she clear the game, she had to collect all the special items, complete all the side quests, and find all the hidden items.
Obviously, Li Jingsi was the latter in a sense.
She spent five minutes familiarizing herself with all the controls.
Although Chen Mo had changed the combat system of Dark Souls, the core of the game was still the same.
After Li Jingsi familiarized herself with all the skills, her character once again stood dumbly on the spot, motionless.
Qian Kun was a little confused. "What are you doing now?"
Chen Mo thought for a bit, "Maybe he's looking at the stats page and the descriptions of the various stats."
Qian Kun was speechless. "It's useless to look at it now. It's not like I can level it up …"
Soon, Li Jingsi finished looking at the attributes panel, and then walked up to fight the first monster.
The first monster was very simple. In fact, all she had to do was charge forward and attack mindlessly. However, Li Jingsi did not do so. Instead, she raised her shield and waited patiently.
Qian Kun was dumbfounded. "Is this …"
Chen Mo nodded, "Yeah … She's practicing Shield Block …"
In front of Li Jingsi was a small skeleton monster. Well, strictly speaking, this thing couldn't be called a skeleton monster. It should be called a zombie.
However, it didn't matter what it was called. After all, this thing was just a trash monster in the novice zone. It could be killed in two hits. Any player with a normal brain wouldn't die at the hands of this thing.
At this time, the Zombie was swinging its weapon, constantly trying to attack Li Jingsi, while Li Jingsi was constantly practicing Shield Block.
A Paladin's Shield was a medium shield, so it wasn't easy to Shield Block. However, Li Jingsi's reflexes were much faster than the average player …
After failing twice, Li Jingsi successfully deflected the Living Corpse's weapon with her Knight's Shield. She immediately stepped forward according to the instructions and stabbed the Living Corpse's abdomen with her longsword.
Instant kill.
For the next few monsters, Li Jingsi started experimenting with other ways of fighting. For example, Backstab, Shield Block, Battle Skills, and so on. He had basically tried all the moves mentioned in the Combat System's introduction on the small monsters, and only then did he arrive in front of Gundyr smoothly.
Qian Kun suddenly had a bad feeling. He felt that it was a mistake to let Li Jingsi experience the game. She was just like the manager, not a normal player!
As Li Jingsi pulled out the Spiraling Blade from Gundyr's body, the Ashen Inquisitor that many new players referred to as the boss stood up.
He was almost twice as tall as the players, and held a long weapon in his hand. It looked a little like a broadsword, but also a little like a halberd.
Qian Kun had suffered a lot from Gundyr. When he designed this boss, he didn't think it was very powerful. However, after the fight, he realized that it was a one-hit kill!
Gundyr's attacks were very powerful. Even if the players raised their shields, they would still lose a lot of energy. If he just stood there foolishly and waited for Gundyr to finish his set of attacks, the only result would be that his shield would be broken, and he would then beat him up.
Seeing that Gundyr was attacking, Li Jingsi immediately raised her shield. However, just as Gundyr's broadsword came slashing at her, Li Jingsi raised her shield and deflected it. At the same time, she took a step forward and stabbed her longsword into Gundyr's chest!
Qian Kun was speechless.
With the new physics engine, although Li Jingsi deflected the attack, she felt a strong vibration in her left hand. However, the deflection was a diversion, so it didn't affect her much.
This was the difficulty of this boss. If the players couldn't learn how to deflect or roll, this boss was practically unbeatable. However, if the players could use it well, this boss would be no threat at all in this stage.
Apart from losing nearly half of her HP from one deflection, Li Jingsi's other deflections were all successful. Gundyr's HP was successfully reduced to less than half, and it entered the second stage.
In the second stage, Gundyr would explode with Human Pus, and its entire body would be filled with black Abyssal substance. This substance was like a huge snake head, and its attack range would become larger and more dangerous.
Li Jingsi didn't rush to attack. Instead, she drank a potion to restore her HP. Then, she rolled and dodged in the wide field, studying Gundyr's movement pattern.
Very quickly, Li Jingsi discovered the pattern of this.
After Gundyr jumped high into the air and crashed into the ground, it would usually be in a daze for a long time. She could take advantage of this period to run forward and attack Gundyr from behind. After slashing twice, she would roll back and repeat the process.
In the end, the boss that tortured Qian Kun for ten minutes was killed by Li Jingsi on her first try …
After defeating Gundyr, Li Jingsi came out of the gaming pod, "That's it?"
Qian Kun was speechless, "That's it, it's just a demo. The content isn't complete."
Chen Mo laughed, "What did I say? A girl killed the boss on her first try, and she even had a potion left. You're saying the game is hard? "
Li Jingsi nodded, "Yeah, it's too easy. It's not challenging at all."
Qian Kun was speechless, he could only nod, "Yes, yes, you're both right …"
Qian Kun was in despair at this point. What the heck, you two aren't representative at all!
What kind of normal player would do nothing but read the game's instructions and then practice their skills? This doesn't make sense at all!
