Chapter 255: I have great luck, Brother Ba will help me!
"Hello, dear audience friends, welcome to watch the 174th "Coke Tanhua" game trial video brought to you by Bing Kele!"
"So what about the game we're trying out this time? I believe many of you already know it. That's right! It's the recently released "Mountain Village Past"..."
The video was still playing. Xiao Lu in front of the computer screen was watching it with great interest. He was holding a bag of CoolBeef potato chips and eating while watching.
Chen Ba glanced at him.
"You're still following this sadistic person?"
It shouldn't be like this!
According to his observation, shouldn't Xiao Lu be paying attention to the young lady in the dance area? When did he start paying attention to this guy Bing Kele?
"I'm a long-time fan of his. I started following him two years ago. Among the top 100, only he and a few other UP hosts can get my recognition."
Xiao Lu explained: "Although I follow him, I don't watch every video. I will only take the time to watch it if it's particularly interesting."
"oh?!"
Hearing this, Chen Ba asked curiously, "Is this video interesting?"
"I can't say it's interesting, it's mainly because our game was mentioned. The show 'Cola Tanhua' has been around for more than 100 episodes, and this is the first time our game has appeared!"
"The games that appeared on this show before were either unpopular small games or well-known 3A games. Anyway, they had nothing to do with us..."
Old fans are worthy of being old fans.
Xiao Lu knows all the videos released by Bing Coke, especially those about the Ace programs.
In his words, these UP hosts who can be rated into the top 100 all have an ace series of programs under their accounts.
For example, a certain Liangfeng's "Watching Countless Movies", a certain Pingzi's new episode overview, new episode guide and anime chat and complaints, etc.
This is the unique skill of the top 100 UP hosts.
It is precisely because of these unique skills that they have been able to attract countless fans, be ranked among the top 100 UP hosts, and take the lead in the competition in the same section.
"Take Bing Kele as an example. On average, he posts one video a day on his account, sometimes two or even three a day."
Xiao Lu smiled and said, "But most of these videos are randomly edited to get a certain amount of views, to promote business orders, etc. The truly valuable video is actually the "Coke Explorer" that he updates twice a week."
"I understand!"
Chen Ba said thoughtfully: "You mean, these UP masters' videos can be divided into two categories, one is ordinary videos, and the other is ace programs."
"Yes, that's it..."
Xiao Lu nodded.
This is also the reason why he watched the video of Ice Coke during working hours.
Hasn’t Bing Kela ever released any game videos under Tianba Studio?
Yes, he has done it before, for sure! But those videos are just ordinary videos, to put it bluntly, they are just for fun, he himself didn’t take it too seriously, and the audience even thought he was paid.
This episode's trial video of "Mountain Village Past" is also the same as expected.
But what Xiao Lu didn't expect was that the video of him trying out "Mountain Village Past" was actually edited into the Ace series of programs, which is a bit intriguing.
Did Brother Ba really give money?
Even if you pay, you can't put it in the ace program. You can make money by releasing a separate video without offending the core fans. Isn't this the best of both worlds? You know, this kind of ace program is the foundation of the top 100 UP masters, and it is also the core content confidence that allows them to gain a firm foothold.
If you mess around with this, you might die without knowing how...
"Hearing what you said, I'm also interested!"
After listening to Xiao Lu's explanation, Chen Ba motioned Xiao Lu to move aside to make room for him, as he also wanted to take a look.
The video is still playing.
"...We are in trouble! This ugly guy is hiding in the room and acting as a prankster. We have to go into the house to look for clues. It seems we can only wait for an auspicious time."
"Let me explain to you all here. In addition to being able to calculate the current good or bad luck, the divination function can also predict auspicious times. How about that? Isn't it mysterious?"
"But no matter how mysterious it is, please do not question the divination results in the game. If the hexagram shows a very bad omen, then you'd better make full preparations before taking action, otherwise you will die without knowing how..."
In the video, Ice Coke was imparting advice and experience to the audience while switching screens to watch vulgar videos of long legs.
The barrage was full of comments like “time management master” and “shrimp head man” etc.
"Ahem, after watching some videos for a while, we finally got to the auspicious time in the game! Mommy, mommy, please give me good luck!"
"Very good, with the great luck buff on me, I am finally not afraid of that damn ugly monster! But let's not rush to complete the task, let's first... install a Heavenly Dao program in the background!"
In the video, Bing Kele said seriously: "Exorcising demons and monsters should also be considered as accumulating merits, right?"
"Ah?"
Seeing this action, Xiao Lu, who was chewing potato chips, turned his head to look at Brother Ba and asked curiously, "Can this also be linked? Can he really gain merit?"
"have no idea!"
Chen Ba shook his head.
He really didn't know about this thing. After all, the game "Mountain Village Past" had just been released, and during the testing process, they didn't run "Cultivation Fantasy" in the background for testing.
It should be... not possible, right?
He was not very sure. After all, he himself had never thought about this kind of linkage, let alone tried it, so he didn't know the result.
But in his opinion, the idea of iced Coke probably wouldn't work.
Gain merit by subduing demons and monsters?
This theory is correct, but the prerequisite for exorcising demons and eliminating evil is to exorcise them in "Cultivation Fantasy". If that doesn't work, you can go to other games to punish evil and promote good and gain merit.
Exorcising demons in a single-player horror game?
Are you crazy, buddy? If I run the Tiandao program in the background and play a single-player zombie game, killing zombies all night, wouldn't I be a saint the next day?
There is no such thing! "Xiu Zhen Fantasy" has been out for so long, and players have found so many ways to gain merit, so they should have some knowledge.
Want to gain merit?
One way is to exorcise demons and perform various merit-related tasks in the game "Xiuzhen Fantasy".
The second method is to use the cross-platform monitoring of the Tiandao program to punish evil and promote good outside the game, which can also gain merit.
But the second method has a hidden threshold, that is, the object of punishing evil and promoting good must be a real person, not an NPC in other games, or a boss monster in a stand-alone game.
in other words.
Merit can only be gained by playing online games, not by playing stand-alone games.
Based on this logic, Chen Ba believes that Bing Coke's idea is not valid. It is impossible to slay demons and monsters to gain merit in "Mountain Village Past".
The barrage thought so too.
However, Bing Kele in the video did not realize this. He naively thought that he could get merit rewards by fighting against monsters and demons in "Mountain Village Past"! Back to the game.
Because he had waited for an auspicious time and had the "very auspicious" status buff, Bing Coke was instantly filled with confidence, and all the scary, horrible and ugly things went aside.
With the help of Daji buff, he quickly collected clues, solved the puzzle, and received a new task...
But at the same time, the time in the game changed again! It was almost dawn, and the time in the game also rotated from the Chou hour to the Yin hour. The next hour was the Mao hour, and that was when it would be dawn.
The change of time means that Bing Kele’s “good luck” metaphysical buff has completely ended. He needs to tell fortunes again and decide what to do next based on the hexagrams.
"Brother Ba, help me, good luck!"
Chanting a strange spell, Bing Kele opened the divination page and planned to make a new divination.
As the copper coins rose and fell, a new hexagram appeared - good luck! "Fuck!"
Not to mention Bing Kele who couldn't believe it, even the audience in front of the screen, including Chen Ba and Xiao Lu, were confused by Daji.
What happened? In the previous hour, which was Chou hour, Bing Kele had already received the hexagram of [Good Luck: Everything will go smoothly]. How come it was still good luck when the hour changed to Yin hour?
As the most difficult hexagram to predict in "Past Events in a Mountain Village", will good luck come twice in a row?
Chen Ba felt something was wrong.
"Mountain Village Past" is a horror game. In order to create an excellent horror atmosphere and a sense of shock and immersion, the hexagram of Daji must be strictly guarded.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Because under the hexagram of [Great Luck], players can hardly feel the overly strong atmosphere of horror, which is undoubtedly cheating.
Daji is to give players who are "stuck" a chance to get out of the deadlock, not to be used to speed-run the game.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Chen Ba denied it, "Two consecutive hours of good luck is impossible. It's either a display error or a bug in the game."
Just as he was about to stand up and go to test whether the divination system had the probability of "continuous good luck", the overwhelming barrage of [High Energy Ahead] attracted his attention.
High energy ahead?
The appearance of these comments made Chen Ba pause for a moment, and he continued to look at the computer screen with curiosity.
"Wow, I'm invincible!"
"What kind of horror game is this? What kind of demons and monsters are these? Submit and worship me under the suppression of my overwhelming destiny..."
Bing Kele was very proud, and he had the right to be proud. After all, he had just experienced how useful the Daji buff was.
That place is truly immune to all evil and all demons will retreat away from it!
Under normal circumstances, when playing a horror game like "Mountain Village Past", you would be scared to death by the strange things that pop out from time to time.
Under the minor evil hexagram, you will be so scared that you will drop your mouse and dare not look at the screen. There is a 50% chance that your character will die.
Under the Great Ominous Hexagram, every step you take will cause your heart to beat faster and you will break out in cold sweats, and the probability of death is infinitely close to 100%. Except for a few people who can play, most people are tortured by the Great Ominous Hexagram and cry for their parents.
The Xiaoji hexagram indicates a horror game with a slightly lower difficulty level. The horror atmosphere is still there, but at least it is not as tense.
As for the lucky hexagram, just like what Bing Kela had just experienced, the game style had changed! The lights that had been dim and flickering before suddenly became as bright as day, and even the candles on the incense altar were in the shape of "love you".
How can this be a horror game?
With the blessing of the great luck hexagram, Xiao Lu can become a demon-slayer and kiss the ugly monster directly, with silky lips! The great luck ends, and it's still great luck! It's never been such a wonderful start, please cheer for me, cheer for me! Bing Kele took a proud step and headed to the next mission location without any preparation.
Perhaps in his opinion, this is just a trivial matter. His buddy is very lucky, so what's so scary about this?
It’s nothing more than...ah!
I really like what the comment said: It's fleeting! Do you like to pretend? I heard that you are the son of luck?
How could the son of luck die as soon as he left the house? "Isn't this right?"
After being resurrected, Bing Kele recalled the horrific scene just now and couldn't even hold the mouse steady. He asked, "Am I not Daji? Why, why is this happening?"
Worried that he had read it wrong, Bing Kele opened the fortune-telling page and told himself a new fortune. Obviously, the fortune was still auspicious!
"That's right, it's Daji!"
Unconvinced, Bing Coke continued forward cautiously with doubt and fear.
Then, he died again...
The hexagram he divined seemed fake. The divination function, which had been almost 100% accurate before, seemed to be ineffective at this moment.
It's obviously a very lucky thing, but there's no feedback at all, it's just like a very bad thing.
"Is this an accident?"
Xiao Lu blinked and said, "Although the divination function may have a certain degree of error, but a good fortune turning into a bad fortune... this kind of thing shouldn't happen, right?"
"really!"
Chen Ba also frowned.
Although the divination system written by Tiehanhan System cannot achieve 100% accuracy, there is also a very low probability of error.
But that kind of mistake usually means that a small fortune is considered as [neither good nor bad], a big fortune is considered as a small fortune, and a big bad fortune is considered as a small bad fortune...
To put it bluntly, the probability of this situation happening is very low, and there will not be large-scale errors, so there is no problem.
But iced Coke is a bit outrageous.
The hexagram shows a very good fortune, but the situation encountered in the game is as horrible and thrilling as a very bad fortune. A normal divination system will never make such a mistake.
"Zhao! Are you kidding me?"
After dying five or six times in a row, Bing Coke was defeated. Perhaps he was scared out of his wits, so he immediately pressed Alt+F4 to exit the game and fell back on his chair in fear.
"No more playing, no more playing!"
No matter if it was an act or real, Bing Kele said that he couldn't continue with this video because his young mind had suffered a huge trauma.
When he dreams at night, he probably dreams about that ugly monster who stabbed him to death countless times.
In order to relax, he decided to play a round of "Happy Landlord"! Chen Ba, Xiao Lu, and the audience watching this video had no idea what he was up to, so they could only continue watching.
"Call the landlord, rob the landlord..."
"Haha, you play cards so well!"
"Call me landlord, not ..."
"Plane, King Bomb!"
Then everyone saw a very strange scene. Bing Coke, who has always been praised by fans as the "charitable gambling god", actually had good luck this time. He won three consecutive victories and won more than 7 million beans.
"???"
A barrage of question marks floated across the screen.
It’s not that everyone has never seen this before, but when will the charity gambling god’s luck change so that he can actually win beans instead of paying for beans with krypton gold?
Is this cheating?
