"Calm down.
"Maybe I opened it the wrong way. Calm down and bring out my best state."
Yan Qi adjusted his breathing and continued playing the game.
This time, he finally killed the first monster he encountered after some effort — a very ordinary-looking, trashy ghostly servant.
In Repent and be Saved, although the Road to the Netherworld was the third major scene, players had already suffered before. Hence, the possibility of dying at the hands of ordinary monsters like the ghostly servant was very low.
Needless to say, the attributes of the ghostly servants in Eternal Fallen Samsara had been adjusted.
Compared to the original ghostly servant, the current one was faster, attacked more frequently, and dealt more damage.
The extremely fast speed and high damage made Yan Qi want to complain. This ghostly servant was like a peerless swordsman who killed the Martial God with one slash.
If the main character was the Martial God, the ghostly servant should be the Martial God's father.
Fortunately, it was just a small monster. Although its damage was high, its moves were very simple. It only took him a while to get used to it.
Then, Yan Qi followed the game's instructions and made the Martial God stab the Demon Sword into the ground of the Road to the Netherworld.
The resurrection mechanism in Eternal Fallen Samsara was different from that in Repent and be Saved.
In Repent and be Saved, the main character was an ordinary person who relied on the guidance of the Buddha statue to move forward. The Buddha statue was equivalent to a save point. It allowed players to recover and respawn the surrounding monsters. The Earth statue, on the other hand, could collect the remnant souls nearby.
However, in Eternal Fallen Samsara, there were no Buddha statues or Earth statues. Instead, there would be a special 'anchor point' at a certain distance. The Martial God would stab the Demon Sword into these spots and leave a mark with the sword.
After stabbing, a reddish-black demonic aura would seep out of the crack.
The Martial God could use the Demon Sword to resurrect in these spots. He could also kill enemies nearby and make their souls dissipate. After stabbing the Demon Sword in these spots, he could collect souls and use them to improve his abilities.
If he died before the first storage spot was activated, the Demon Sword would automatically collect the Martial God's three souls and seven spirits. Then, he would automatically resurrect at the entrance of the Road to the Netherworld.
Strictly speaking, it was not considered a resurrection. It could only be said that he would return to this half-living, half-dead state.
Yan Qi continued to move forward. Soon, he encountered the second ghostly servant and used the same method to kill it.
"Eh? Did you drop something? "
Yan Qi couldn't help but feel excited. He went over to pick up the item that had fallen on the ground, and found that it was a soft weapon: a shackle.
There were such weapons in Repent and be Saved, but nobody used them because they were too weak.
"What a pity. It would have been better if I had dropped a knife or a long weapon."
"This drop should have a certain probability."
The Ghost Envoys on the Yellow Springs Road had all sorts of weapons. The most common weapons were swords, but there were also shackles, spears, axes, hooks and forks.
Ghost Messengers could only drop weapons that they were holding in their hands. Yan Qi's luck wasn't very good. The first Ghost Messenger was holding a knife, but it didn't drop any equipment. The second one dropped equipment, but it turned out to be shackles.
However, after some thought, Yan Qi opened up his inventory to check the properties of the shackles.
"Uh-huh?"
"Something doesn't seem right."
Yan Qi took a look. The attributes of the shackles seemed to be the same as in Repent and be Saved. They had not been enhanced in the downloadable content. It was most likely still an unpopular weapon. However, even if it was an unpopular weapon, its attributes were actually better than the Martial God's Demon Sword!
That was because although the bonus coefficients of the chain for various attributes were very low, at least it still had a bonus. The Demon Sword's bonus column was all '-1'. In other words, it did not have any bonus at all.
"It seems like I can dual-wield it?"
Yan Qi immediately equipped the chain with his left hand.
According to the settings in Repent and be Saved, the right hand was the main hand, and the left hand was the secondary hand. When using a weapon with the left hand, it would naturally be slower than the right hand, and the damage would only be 70%. However, the left hand could use some special weapon skills.
In other words, weapons with high damage should be held in the right hand, while functional weapons should be held in the left hand.
In Eternal Fallen Samsara, perhaps because the main character was the Martial God, the speed of the weapon in the left hand was the same as the speed of the right hand, and the damage was 90%.
Even so, the right hand was still slightly stronger.
The reason why Yan Qi placed the chain in his left hand was because he still looked down on the chain. He felt that the Martial God's awesome Demon Sword would definitely have higher damage than the chain. Perhaps the Demon Sword had some hidden attributes, and the data written on the interface might not be the complete data.
Then, he continued forward and defeated a few more ghostly servants, as well as the vengeful spirits that were summoned by the ghostly servants to deal with him.
After the battle ended, Yan Qi stopped again and doubted his life.
"This Demon Sword, are you f * cking joking?"
Yan Qi realized that the chain in his left hand still dealt much more damage than the Demon Sword in his right hand, even if the damage of the secondary hand was lowered …
Moreover, the drop rate of ghostly servants' weapons seemed to be very high in the Yellow Springs Road. He now had a ghostly servant's sword and a ghostly servant's saber in his backpack.
After comparing their attributes, Yan Qi quietly removed the chain and the Demon Sword and replaced them with the ghostly servant's sword and saber.
However, the Demon Sword was not kept in his backpack like the chain. Instead, it was carried on his back and would be used when he needed to activate the teleportation point.
After wielding the ghostly servant's sword and saber, Yan Qi once again embarked on his journey.
This time, he was shocked to find that the difficulty of the battle seemed to have dropped!
Of course, he still had to die if he was cut. These two weapons did not help increase the Martial God's defense, but their attack power had increased significantly. The efficiency of killing monsters had greatly increased.
"This is the normal pace of the game … Although I'm still as fragile as a piece of paper, at least I don't have to use Scraping Therapy on the small monsters like before.
"Although the health of the small monsters is still too high compared to Repent and be Saved, at least it's still playable.
"However, it's a little strange.
"Although it makes sense from the settings, the experience it brings to the players is a little terrible."
Yan Qi did not think too much about it. After all, he was a veteran player of Repent and be Saved. His tolerance was relatively high. He continued to experience the game.
…
Two hours later, Yan Qi temporarily quit the game and rotated his neck, which was a little sore from fatigue.
According to Repent and be Saved's playtime, the entire plot of the game could be completed in 12 to 13 hours. Of course, only those who were more familiar with the game and did not get stuck could complete it.
In reality, since most players were frantically lost and suffering, it was not strange for the game time to extend to dozens of hours. There was no limit.
Not to mention, after completing the game, one could continue to play it for a second time.
Yan Qi estimated that according to the official platform, Eternal Fallen Samsara had been updated by about one-third. In other words, the plot should have lasted more than four hours.
Considering that his efficiency in killing monsters was not high, and that he had taken some detours in the middle of the game due to the change in route, the current progress of the game should be about one-third of the published progress.
Yan Qi looked at the time. It was almost time to knock off. There was no need to work so hard to complete the game at once. He should slowly savor this game.
He would continue to work hard during the weekend.
Although there was not much content to experience, Yan Qi had a rough idea of what it was.
First of all, the downloadable content did not change much. It looked a little like a skin change.
At the moment, the biggest change was the identity of the main character. There was a new opening, and the presentation of system functions such as save points and leveling up had changed. The appearance of the monsters, fighting style, the appearance of the scenery, and the route had all been modified.
However, the world was still the same. The scenery was still the same as the Gates of Hell, the Road to the Underworld, and the Bridge of Helplessness.
Although there were changes, it was slightly disappointing that there were no new scenes at all.
Secondly, there seemed to be some problems with the combat system and basic settings of the game at the moment.
The Demonic Sword had so many scenes, but its damage was so low? It was even lower than the chain of trash in the hands of the ghost messenger.
This made sense from the setting: no matter how powerful the main character was, he was only a martial arts god in the human world. In the underworld, he could only be beaten up by the ghost messenger in terms of the strength of his soul. No matter how powerful the Demonic Sword was, it was only a weapon in the human world. Of course, it could not compare to the spirit weapon in the hands of the ghost messenger.
However … although it was reasonable, the combat experience was completely shredded.
The Black and White Impermanence were fine. After all, it was a plot kill. It did not matter if they could not beat it. However, the damage of the Demonic Sword was so low that it was very difficult to kill the small monsters at the beginning. Therefore, the Demonic Sword quickly became a tool sword. It was only inserted into the ground to create a teleportation point. It had completely lost its original prestige.
"I feel a little disappointed. Although it still feels the same, I feel that it has lost that amazing feeling."
"Although this downloadable content is not expensive at all and there is no loss in buying it, this doesn't seem to be Boss Pei's level, right?"
Yan Qi opened the forum and looked at the other players' comments.
"This Demonic Sword is too Scraping Sand! It's a complete piece of trash! "
"I think so too. It was so cool at the beginning, saying that this fellow was a martial arts god. In the end, the martial arts god was pressed to the ground by the small monsters. It's not cool at all. It feels like his character has collapsed! "
"I think there's a huge problem with the numerical system of the game. Repent and be Saved's numerical system was already very overboard. However, as a game of suffering, it was stuck at the limit that most people could accept. That was why it became a classic. However, Eternal Fallen Samsara is a little too much. The damage of the small monsters is too high, and the damage of the main character is too low. This is no longer training one's skills. It is completely to disgust the players. There is no sense of accomplishment after suffering. "
"The announcement said that the combat system will be updated in the last patch. Perhaps there will be some changes then?"
"Yes, I think so too. We will suffer in the early stages, and then the combat system will be updated."
"That's not good, right? The combat system is the essence of the entire game. Since everything revolves around the combat system, the combat system must be updated first, right? What's the point of making us suffer? "
"What's more, this game really doesn't seem to have a single new scene. The original monsters and scenes are being used as downloadable content. How disappointing!"
"It's alright. The downloadable content was very cheap to begin with."
"It's not a matter of whether it's cheap or not. The publicity for this downloadable content is very strong. Everyone is looking forward to it being as big as Repent and be Saved. In the end, the current situation is not satisfactory, right?"
"That's right. Tengda's core spirit is not to be cheap. It's to be worth it. It's to keep improving! We don't want it to be cheap. We want real game content! "
Obviously, many players had the same thoughts as Yan Qi.
Based on the content of the current update, this part of the game experience was obviously not satisfactory.
Yan Qi shook his head slightly. He did not understand what Tengda was trying to do.
Perhaps Boss Pei was too busy. He was only a figurehead and did not participate in the design of the game's details. That caused the final result to deviate greatly from Boss Pei's plan?
Perhaps the addition of the original author affected the game project?
Perhaps the chief designer simply wanted to play some tricks, but it went too far without Boss Pei's ability?
Both were possible.
However, there would be four updates after all. This was only the first update.
Just as some players emphasized, the combat system seemed to be the last update. It was too early to say that Eternal Fallen Samsara was not going to work.
Yan Qi casually browsed through the forum and prepared to go home.
However, at that moment, he found a post.
"Holy sh * t! I don't know if I'm hallucinating, but I saw the Martial God move on his own just now! "
Yan Qi was stunned.
The character moved on its own?
Was he seeing things?
Or … did the joystick drift?
Or was the owner of the post trying to please the public?
Yan Qi had played for two hours and had never encountered such a situation where the character moved on its own. Thus, he instinctively did not believe this post.
However, curiosity drove him to click on it.
The person who posted the post introduced his own game flow in detail. At the beginning, he was beaten up and captured by the Black and White Impermanence just like Yan Qi. The difference was that Yan Qi was only killed by the knife-wielding ghost once. After that, he progressed smoothly.
However, this OP could not defeat the knife-wielding monster no matter what. He was ravaged in all kinds of ways until he started to doubt his life.
After dying many times, he challenged the ghost again. However, he realized that he was supposed to die. However, the Martial God seemed to move a little and blocked the ghost's long knife.
However, the Martial God still died. Thus, the OP was not sure if his eyes were playing tricks on him.
The people downstairs obviously did not believe it either and raised their doubts.
Before Yan Qi came, this post had been debated for many times. Finally, to prove himself, the OP released a video.
The clarity of the video was worrisome. However, one could see the computer screen and the OP's hand movements while holding the controller.
In the video, one could clearly see that the Martial God moved a little when the ghost's long knife slashed at him. He used the demonic sword to block the long knife.
This movement was very light and inconspicuous. What's more, he was not completely immune to damage. The ghost's knife still slashed at his body and killed him.
However, if one stared closely at the video, one could see that the Martial God had indeed made a move to block. What's more, it was not controlled by the player.
Obviously, the player had only sent the Martial God to the side of the small monster and then put down the controller. He did not know how many times he had been killed before this strange but very low probability phenomenon occurred.
Yan Qi was stunned.
"What's going on?"
"Repent and be Saved definitely did not have this setting. It looks like a new combat mechanism."
"Something's not right, right? Didn't they say that the combat system would only be updated at the end of this month? "
"What does this mean then?"
Yan Qi was deeply puzzled.
Obviously, this must be a suspense that Tengda had deliberately buried.
The person who had buried the suspense was either Boss Pei or the person who had decided to split Eternal Fallen Samsara into four parts and publish it.
…
What Yan Qi did not know was that Pei Qian and Meng Chang were also looking at this post, confused.
Their minds were filled with the same confusion and confusion as Yan Qi.
"What the f * ck is going on?!"
