In the experience store, Zou Zhuo was fully focused on playing Kings of Glory.
Suddenly, his expression changed, "What the hell, is this Arthur an idiot? I kept giving him the signal to retreat, why did he just keep giving it away?! "
Chen Mo laughed.
Zou Zhuo looked at his phone screen with a pained expression. One of his stars had shattered, and his rank had dropped from Diamond to Platinum.
Zou Zhuo was speechless, "There are so many primary school students in this game! That's hopeless, we were supposed to win this game for sure, but this Arthur kept giving it away, and we ended up losing in a 4v5! "
Chen Mo laughed, "That's to be expected. Speaking of which, why are you playing solo now? Aren't you bringing a girl? "
Zou Zhuo replied, "I do, but she only comes online at night. I'll play a few games on my own when I'm free. But then again, why do I feel like the primary school students in Kings of Glory are scarier than LoL? I'm about to cry! "
Chen Mo laughed, "It's just your imagination. The primary school students in Kings of Glory are obviously the same group of people as those in LoL. Don't you think the ranking in LoL has improved a lot? "
Zou Zhuo thought for a bit, "… That seems to be the case."
Although Zou Zhuo had been playing Kings of Glory with a girl every day, he didn't completely give up on LoL, playing it for two to three hours a day.
Indeed, Zou Zhuo felt like there were fewer primary school students in LoL.
Zou Zhuo came to a realization, "Are they all playing Kings of Glory?"
But then he thought, "But I'm playing Kings of Glory too! Does that mean I still can't get rid of the primary school students?! "
Zou Zhuo wasn't feeling too good. He had complained to Chen Mo about how there were too many primary school students in LoL, so Chen Mo agreed to make a game specifically for primary school students. That way, there would be fewer primary school students playing LoL.
In the end, after Kings of Glory was released, it was indeed loved by elementary school students. Many of the scammers in League of Legends switched to Kings of Glory. However, Zou Zhuo never expected that he would also fall into Kings of Glory's trap!
"I still can't get rid of the primary school students after so many changes! Also, why do I feel like there are more primary schoolers in this game? "
Zou Zhuo was speechless. "Forget it, I give up. I'm only playing this game to accompany girls. If I'm cheated by a primary school student, then so be it. He cheated me with his own ability. What can I do? "
Chen Mo smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "That's the attitude. In any case, the only purpose of playing this game was to show off to the girls. As long as the girls thought that you were good, it was fine. Winning or losing wasn't particularly important. By the way, don't forget about the prequel to Dark Souls. "
Zou Zhuo smiled awkwardly but politely, "Manager, you still remember that? I thought you were going to forget. "
Chen Mo looked at him with a smile. "How could I forget something so fun?"
Zou Zhuo coughed. "Okay, Manager. When will the prequel to Dark Souls be completed?"
Chen Mo replied, "It's pretty much done. You'll be able to play it in the experience store in two days, and it'll be online in a week."
Zou Zhuo exclaimed, "Wow, Manager, you're so fast. You developed it at the same time as Kings of Glory, but it's still so fast. Can you guarantee the quality?"
Chen Mo smirked, "I can't guarantee the quality of the other games, but it's definitely better when it comes to torturing people."
"Huh?" Zou Zhuo was shocked. "Why do I feel a chill down my spine …"
Chen Mo thought of something, "By the way, it's about time to release the trailer to warm up the game."
…
The prequel to Dark Souls and Kings of Glory were developed at the same time. Kings of Glory was done faster, so it was released earlier. On the other hand, the prequel to Dark Souls wasn't slow either, and was almost done.
During this time, although Kings of Glory dominated the best sellers charts, the popularity of Dark Souls didn't die down. Instead, it spread to a wider audience.
This was because Dark Souls was a very playable game. Most players who had already played it would play it a second or third time, or when they had nothing better to do.
To be honest, suffering was also addictive …
Over the past few months, the playstyle of Dark Souls was pretty much explored, and there was a large number of high level players. Videos of killing bosses without taking any damage, or killing bosses quickly became a common sight.
On the Internet, many streamers' walkthroughs and hardships had a lot of views too. Videos related to Dark Souls often appeared on the leaderboards of the gaming zone.
There were still many live streamers streaming Dark Souls every day on the major live-streaming platforms. Even the big live streamers who played mobile games and PC games had basically been tortured by Dark Souls once or twice …
Many players were looking forward to the release of the prequel to Dark Souls that Chen Mo mentioned.
After all, Dark Souls' treatment was too special. Many players mocked Chen Mo for not being one of the best, as Chen Mo didn't even have a sequel for a huge IP like Warcraft.
It seemed that all of Chen Mo's games had their own systems, and there was never a situation where Chen Mo stuck to a single IP. What about Dark Souls? Chen Mo was making a prequel!
In fact, this was equivalent to a sequel.
What kind of work would a sequel that would allow Chen Mo to break his curse be?
Many players were scrolling through new posts in boredom on the official forums of Dark Souls.
At this time, a new pinned post appeared on the forums.
"Dark Souls prequel opening cinematics revealed, come and take a look!"
The players were immediately excited as they clicked on the video.
"It's out! It's the prequel cinematics!! "
"Let's see what's in it! I've been waiting for so long! "
"Now that the cinematics are out, the game will be released soon, right?"
Many players were watching the cinematics intently, especially the soul researchers who were interested in the story. They wanted to slow down the video by five times so that they could see every frame clearly.
The scene was filled with thick fog.
A deep voice began narrating the events of the ancient times.
"In the ancient times, the world had yet to split and was shrouded in fog. There were grey rocks, towering trees, and immortal dragons everywhere. "
"But one day, the first flame was lit, and all the differences were born."
"Cold and heat."
"Life and death."
"Light and darkness."
The camera drilled into the hollow of a towering ancient tree and went deep underground. Flames burned in the distance, lighting up the dark cave.
Many black figures stood up from the ground and looked towards the direction of the flames.
"A few creatures born from the darkness were lured by the flames, and found the soul of the king around the flames."
"The first dead, Neet."
"Izaris's witch and the daughter of Chaos."
"The Sunlight King, Gwen, and his knights."
"And the dwarves that no one has seen before."
The camera quickly changed to show their images.
Neet looked like a monster made of bones, and Izaris's witch was a magician with a hood.
Sun King Gwen had a crown on his head, and behind him was an endless army of knights.
Only this so-called dwarf had no face, only a silhouette in the distance.
He slowly stood up from the ground, holding something in his hands.
"They obtained the power of the king and challenged the ancient dragons."
"Gwen's lightning spear pierced through the ancient dragon's rock-like scales."
"The witch's flames formed a storm."
"Neet released the death miasma."
"And the scaleless white dragon Heath betrayed the ancient dragons, causing them to retreat."
The scene changed again. Gwen, the witch, and Neet all appeared, each releasing their divine power to attack the incoming dragons.
At the end of the scene, white dragon Heath stood on a mountain of dragon bones, roaring at the sky.
"The age of fire has begun."
As the camera zoomed in, an incomparably huge city-state appeared on the screen. Even from a casual glance from afar, one could imagine how magnificent and prosperous this city-state was.
"However, the fire will eventually be extinguished, and only darkness will remain."
"Now, the fire is about to be extinguished, and the light can no longer illuminate the world. The night continues endlessly. And the cursed Halo of Darkness begins to appear in the crowd … "
In the unknown graveyard, the fireproof woman held the scattered sparks in the air with her hands and lowered her head, as if she was praying for the fallen knights.
The Halo of Darkness appeared in the middle of the scene, like a pitch-black hole, and on the edge, flames were burning …
The final scene stopped at the Halo of Darkness, and the familiar game name appeared on the screen.
[Dark Souls]!
