Ren Suo also seriously considered why he chose "Over My Dead Body".
He knew that the games in the Small World console were all extraordinary. Before playing, he could only roughly understand the content of the game based on the game introduction alone - which was useless.
In this case, Ren Suo has to choose another type of data to help him evaluate the differences between games.
"Killer's Bloody Dinner", he received an evaluation of 80 points of 'Extraordinary' and was awarded 15 points of merit;
"If you are strong, go to 10,000 meters", he also received an evaluation of 80 points of "extraordinary" and was awarded 24 points of merit.
If we ignore the difference in game types, with the same score, the same rating, and the same star difficulty, "If You Are Strong, Go 10,000 Meters" does earn more merits than "The Killer's Bloody Dinner". At the same time, Ren Suo also clearly feels that the former is more difficult than the latter.
Then Ren Suo came to an unconfirmed conclusion: within the same star level, the higher the highest merit reward of the game, the more difficult it is.
Therefore, the difficulty of "Insidious: Chapter 1", which has a maximum reward of 100 merits, is higher than that of "Over My Dead Body: Chapter 1", which has a maximum reward of 80 merits, although they are both 2-star difficulty games.
Apart from the extremely low cost-effective "Killing Dungeon" which Ren Suo gave up directly, the relatively easy "Over My Dead Body" should be his best stepping stone to try a 2-star game.
Otherwise, if Ren Suo chose a game that was too difficult to complete, he would lose the free game for this month. If he could not earn merit, even if there was a discount next time, Ren Suo might not be able to afford it.
Because he had consumed 1 point to obtain the key, Ren Suo now only had 25 merit points. He didn't think he could afford any games with this amount of points - last month's games were already 50% off, but Ren Suo still couldn't afford them. He could only afford small games like "If You Are Strong, Go 10,000 Meters".
Even if there are discounts in the future, they may not be bigger than the 50% OFF. If it is 10% or 20%, Ren Suo may have to miss it helplessly and can only wait until the free game is refreshed next month to find a way to complete the game and earn merits.
"Killing Dungeon" is the most stable, but has the lowest cost-effectiveness; "Insidious: Chapter One" is the most adventurous, but has the highest efficiency.
As an orthodox Xuan Chinese, Ren Suo, who is steeped in the doctrine of the mean, chose the middle song "Over My Dead Body".
What, Ren Suo is too cowardly and doesn’t look like the protagonist?
…After Ren Suo got the Small World game console, he still wanted to be a civil servant, which shows that he has no ambition.
Although his family is not wealthy, they are ordinary people and have no illnesses or pains; although he was not the most popular person in the class when he was growing up, he had never encountered school bullying because he had always attended a good high school; he also had no girlfriend who broke up with him and chose a rich second-generation because she thought he was poor - he also had to have a girlfriend first.
However, Ren Suo did not think that he was being cowardly at all, but rather cautious - well, the meaning was the same.
"Choose, over my dead body!"
"Player selection is a free chapter. This month's free chapter of "Over My Dead Body" is 'Chapter 1: History'. Game difficulty: 2 stars."
"This free chapter has a difficulty of 2 stars, and the exclusive reward is 'Heart Strengthening Technique'."
"The end time for playing this game chapter is 23:59:59 on April 31st. After the time is up, this game will be automatically deleted."
After entering the game, Ren Suo immediately felt the high quality of this game with many rewards for achievements and the game being divided into chapters: just like "Hitman", there is an opening CG.
"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs ruled the country, relatives of the emperor were in power, and aristocratic families dominated all sides. The people of the world were living in misery..."
"In 184 AD, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and the capital was shaken..."
"This war, which lasted for four years, not only consumed the last bit of the Han Dynasty's royal family's resources, but also caused warlords in various places to establish their own territories..."
"In 189 AD, Emperor Shaodi Liu Bian ascended the throne, and the battle between the imperial relatives and the eunuchs entered a fierce battle. General He Jin died in the palace. Before his death, he summoned Dong Zhuo's army to enter Luoyang and control the court. In the same year, Dong Zhuo deposed Liu Bian and established Liu Xie as a puppet emperor. He appointed himself as the prime minister and ruled the court arbitrarily."
"In 190 AD, the 18 princes formed the Guanzhong Allied Forces and fought against Dong Zhuo's army at Hulao Pass, with the outcome difficult to determine. Dong Zhuo's army moved to Chang'an, and the princes, each with their own ambitions and opinions, dispersed."
Ren Suo looked at the ink painting of a huge army fighting on the screen and nodded secretly: "Is this a strategy game? Like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms where you choose a vassal to rule the world?"
The Eastern Han Dynasty was divided into three kingdoms at the end of the year, and the wars never stopped. Ren Suo had not only played related games, but also watched many TV dramas and comics, so he was naturally familiar with it.
However, the next second the picture style changes from a heavy historical feeling to a horror and spooky one: "However, when Dong Zhuo led the Xiliang army to leave Chang'an, he not only forced the people to leave, but also set fire to the place, causing countless casualties, and also robbed graves, destroying all the Han Dynasty imperial tombs!"
"Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty used the art of controlling the heavens and earth to summon meteors from the sky to destroy all the evil spirits and monsters. After regaining the Han Dynasty, he adjusted the dragon veins of the Central Plains, using the Han Dynasty's imperial mausoleum as the center of the formation and the dragon veins as the formation veins. With the help of the will of heaven, the veins of the earth, and the power of humanity, he completely sealed the spiritual veins of the Central Plains and strangled the birth of all demons from the source."
"Now the imperial mausoleum has been destroyed, the dragon veins are in disarray, the great formation has failed, the spirit veins have reappeared in the Central Plains, the demons are about to revive, and the heroes of the world will also benefit from the spirit veins. From now on, the world will be transformed into the dark ages of the Shang Dynasty, Qin and Han Dynasties. The demons will use their magic power to cause chaos in the world, and the heroes will rely on their great strength to fight for the people..."
"But Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty had foreseen this and had already laid out a countermeasure."
"At the beginning of the restoration of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu established the Yuntai Pavilion in order to prolong the dynasty and the royal family inheritance, and sent 28 generals to collect and destroy the cultivation methods of the world. As the spiritual veins were suppressed, the cultivation of the world became mortal, and the cultivation methods also became absurd content of gods and monsters and gradually dispersed, and the cultivation system collapsed directly for the demons."
"If the spirit veins are revived, it means that the imperial mausoleum is damaged, the dragon veins are in disorder, and the Han Dynasty is in chaos. For this reason, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty found the descendants of the Champion Marquis Huo family, sealed the Yuntai Pavilion cultivation method in their blood, and placed three shackles on their blood:
First, they swore to defend the Han Dynasty to the death and not to interfere in the political power;
Second, without violating the first rule, we must destroy the demons to the death;
Third, continue the family line without violating the first two.
Violating any of these rules will trigger the curse of the champion's bloodline, and the shackles will continue to strengthen!"
"Now, the descendants of the Huo family, who have kept their identities hidden, have awakened the talents and missions hidden deep in their blood as their spiritual veins have revived."
The game CG ends here, and then an input box pops up:
"Please enter your family name: Huo."
The default is the Huo family... Ren Suo thought about it and naturally changed his last name to 'Ren'.
"Please enter the name of the first generation head of the family: **"
Based on the martial arts novels Ren Suo had read before, he entered "Woxing" because it was indeed the most domineering name he had ever heard of the Ren family... When he was in the third grade of elementary school, he once thought about changing his name to Ren Woxing, and then his father picked up a feather duster and said to him: "Your name is Ren Woxing? Then your father's name is Ren Woda."
Ren Woxing was convinced by Ren Wo's beating, and the plan to change his name was aborted.
The scene on the screen changed, and a green hill appeared with more than a dozen graves on the hill. Three young men were kneeling in front of the graves and burning paper money.
The handsome and healthy young man kneeling in the middle, named Ren Woxing, said: "Second brother, third brother, don't cry. Now we are the only ones left in the Ren family. We must take responsibility and complete our mission."
"Mission... Mission?!" The third brother Ren Feifan wiped his nose and cried, "The mission is completed, but why did Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle and Uncle die so miserably!?"
"Third brother, please recall the inherited knowledge." The second brother Ren Changsheng sobbed and slowly calmed down: "This is the curse of the champion bloodline. People with champion bloodline are born with strong cultivation talents and are pure bodies. In the era of spiritual vein revival, they can quickly become powerful Qi cultivators."
"However, a true Immaculate Body is close to 'harmony with the Tao'. We are only close to Immaculate Body. When we are over 24 years old, we have achieved Immaculate Body. The moment we come into contact with spiritual energy, our bodies will be torn apart by it... Not even an inch of flesh and blood will be left, only a bloody mess."
"Champion bloodline is both loved by heaven and earth, and cursed by fate."
Ren Feifan burst into tears again.
