Boss Pei changed the game content slightly?
Li Yada was a little surprised.
From what she remembered, Boss Pei rarely made changes to the game content personally.
If he wanted to make changes, he would usually speak to Lu Mingliang and let Lu Mingliang complete the specific changes.
However, why did Boss Pei change it himself this time?
Does he not trust me?
Li Yada thought about it and realized that it did not make sense. If Boss Pei did not trust me, why would he let me be the chief planner?
With some doubts, Li Yada returned to her desk and looked at the changes in the game.
There were not many changes, but the main changes were concentrated on one weapon.
The monk staff that was originally used to make up the numbers had an enhanced version. It had a glowing special effect and a special way to obtain this weapon.
Li Yada took a closer look at the weapon named "Pudu".
From its attributes, this was a weapon that was ridiculously strong in the early stages. Its damage was obviously superb.
However, the speed of its normal attacks did not change. The front and back swing of its attacks were very long, and it was not easy to control.
Of course, this weapon was designed like other two-handed heavy weapons. It had a jump slash setting. It could be used to increase the speed of attacks.
In other words, if a player who knew how to play this game obtained this weapon, the difficulty of the early stages of the game would be greatly reduced.
However, at the same time, this weapon had a huge limitation. Apart from the six realms of rebirth and existence, it would not have an obvious advantage over other weapons. Moreover, this weapon was basically useless in the second round.
Li Yada was a little confused.
Why did Boss Pei specially make such a weapon?
Was it because Boss Pei could not beat it himself and so he gave her a backdoor?
Er, that did not make sense.
If Boss Pei felt that this game was too difficult, why did he not lower the difficulty?
What's more, as a designer, Boss Pei did not have to clear this game.
Therefore, this possibility could be eliminated first. There must be other reasons.
Could there be a deeper meaning to this?
Li Yada thought about it carefully. The current difficulty of the game was indeed too difficult for ordinary players. At the beginning of the game, ordinary monsters would kill the players after touching them. This meant that most players had to try their best to be unharmed.
Although he could quickly obtain healing items, compared to the amount of HP he had lost, the healing items were like trying to put out a cart of firewood with a cup of water.
At the end of the day, it still required players to have a high level of control.
In that case, could Boss Pei's weapon be considered a benefit for newbies? Let the noob players obtain this weapon and at least clear the game and get through one of the endings?
Or was this a sign of Boss Pei's benevolence?
That should be possible.
Then … why did he hide it so deeply?
Li Yada noticed that the old monk, who would drop the monk staff, had been slashed by Boss Pei. He was not even comparable to a small monster now.
Moreover, it was located near the town. Any player who could reach this place would have suffered a lot and killed a lot of monsters. There was no reason for them to not be able to defeat it.
Even if he accidentally overturned the car, he couldn't overturn it six times in a row, right?
Unless it was intentional, it was hard to imagine what kind of player would die six times at the hands of this old monk.
Moreover, killing this old monk would give a normal staff and prayer beads, which could be used to collect weapons and powerful consumable items in the early stages of the game. For most players, this was something they couldn't refuse.
All in all, Pudu was buried too deeply. 99.99% of players would not be able to activate it!
If this weapon was a sign of Boss Pei's benevolence towards players, why would he hide it in a place where most players wouldn't be able to find it?
Li Yada fell into deep thought.
According to Senior Bao Xu, there must be a deeper meaning to everything that was illogical.
Now, the setting of this weapon was illogical!
"Why did I die six times? Why did the old monk become a NPC that could be interacted with on the seventh death?
"What does this number mean?"
Li Yada searched on Qiandu and found some information.
Although many of the explanations were not uniform, and Li Yada couldn't be sure which explanation Boss Pei was using, she could roughly understand the meaning of this number.
Of course, Li Yada, Qiandu, and the players didn't understand Buddhism that was too profound. Of course, it was better to understand it in a more superficial way. That would make it easier for players to accept it.
'Seven' and 'nine' were more important numbers in Buddhism. For example, the saying of the 'Nine Lotus Platform' meant that 'nine' represented perfection.
'Seven' had more meanings. It also represented perfection, but there was another saying that 'seven' represented small perfection.
In addition, it was said that when Buddha was born, he could walk seven steps as soon as he landed. The first six steps represented the six realms, and the seventh step represented enlightenment. That was why 'seven' was also used to express detachment.
"Can dying seven times represent perfection? I don't think that's what it means.
"Strictly speaking, I should have died six times.
"In that case … the first six deaths should represent the six realms of rebirth, and the seventh death should represent enlightenment?
"That means that this weapon can only be used to open the six realms of rebirth?"
Li Yada summarized her previous conjectures and felt that this was the most reasonable conjecture.
Dying six times represented the six realms of rebirth. That meant that the six realms of rebirth had been opened for players in advance. The seventh time she saw the old monk obtain Pudu, she had officially embarked on this path.
Not only could she jump directly from the Road to the Underworld to challenge the boss in the six realms of rebirth, but the weapon was also specially made for this ending.
One could imagine that players would have two reactions.
The first was that they would be so happy after obtaining Pudu that they would forget everything else. They would rely on the weapon's high damage to engage in less intense battles and happily open the six realms of rebirth ending.
The second was that they would be willing to give up Pudu and use their own strength to fight other real endings.
Considering the original setting, the six realms of rebirth ending was a false ending. The protagonist would think that he had escaped from this hopeless world, but in fact, he had entered the same cycle again.
Using Pudu to get through this ending would be even more ironic!
Players who chose Pudu would be choosing an escape mentality. They would not dare to face more difficult challenges and would only choose to protect themselves.
Giving up on Pudu and picking up an ordinary weapon to face stronger enemies and face more difficult challenges was the only way to truly escape from the abyss of suffering!
Thinking of this, Li Yada wanted to slap the table and cheer.
Now that she thought about it, although the original setting was not bad, it still lacked some depth.
According to the original setting, the old monk and the old temple were just extras. Whether they fought or not, it would not affect the later content.
As for the ending of the Six Paths of Rebirth, the game experience was not much different from the other endings.
However, after Boss Pei made these changes, everything changed.
The addition of Pudu, a super weapon, placed a dilemma in front of all players: Should they stay in their comfort zone and play a false ending to deceive themselves? Or should they walk out of their comfort zone and suffer while searching for the truth of this world?
This method allowed players to have a deeper understanding of the different endings. They also gained a stronger sense of immersion and immersion!
