Chapter 53: When the gods fight, the mortals suffer!
"User [食不食油饼] sent a striking message with 1,000 batteries: Xiao Mo, I heard that this game requires a lot of configuration, can your broken computer handle it?"
The pop-up of an SC message made Guo Mo a little flattered. After all, he had just started broadcasting and he didn't expect to receive such a message from the old man.
Adhering to the principle of "money is everything", he answered the questions raised by SC.
"Don't worry, my computer is not that bad. Although the 1070Ti is a bit old, it's not so bad that I can't play the game."
"Besides, this game is very well optimized. Look, I turned on the extreme graphics quality and the frame rate didn't even drop. It's so stable!"
In order to reassure the audience in the live broadcast room, Guo Mo also specially turned on the game frame rate display, and the 60 frames were as stable as an old dog with the ultimate picture quality.
After answering SC's questions, he examined the game UI and praised: "This game is really well optimized. If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that this is a game developed with the DreamBuilding 5 engine."
The barrage was also full of echoes.
I thought that a new game developed with the Dream Building 5 engine would be poorly optimized, but I didn't expect that even Guo Mo's broken computer could run it smoothly, and even at the highest quality...
It was such a surprise! But then again, this is a single-player scenario and we haven't entered the game yet, so we shouldn't take the frame rate too seriously.
The game UI interface is very simple.
Probably because it is an early access experience, there are not many areas that players can explore on their own, and the only unlockable functions are [Random Match] and [Fight to Become Immortal].
After taking a look at the introduction, Guo Mo understood.
Random matching, as the name suggests, means randomly matching you with an opponent of equal strength for a free battle without rewards.
The road to becoming an immortal is a ladder ranking system, where you are matched with opponents according to their ranks, and your rank can be improved by winning.
“It seems that there are only six characters in this early access version!”
Guo Mo looked a little embarrassed. There were six characters in the game. Wasn't that too few for a fighting game? "Forget it, let's try a round first."
Although there are not many role-playing games, this is an early access version after all, so we can't expect too much. And it's his first time playing, so it takes a lot of time to try out the skills of the six characters one by one.
Click on the path to becoming an immortal, and almost the moment you click the mouse, the words "match successful" will appear on the screen.
Open in seconds!
It seems that there are quite a lot of players, otherwise it wouldn’t be so fast.
Because it was the first game, [Zang Ai Xiao Mo]’s rank was the first level of the Great Emperor, and the opponent he was matched with was also the first level of the Great Emperor.
"What should I choose?"
After the match is loaded, there will be 10 seconds for the player to choose the appropriate character to play.
Guo Mo was very hesitant.
He didn't recognize any of these six characters, let alone what their skill sets were.
The road to becoming an immortal is still in Bo3 mode, which means that he can choose up to three characters in one game.
"Starry Sky Emperor!"
"It must be the Star Emperor!"
"This game is called Star Emperor. It goes without saying that Star Emperor must be the strongest..."
Guo Mo felt that what the barrage said made sense. This game was called "Star Emperor". If he didn't know who to choose, he would definitely go with Star Emperor.
It's you, Star Emperor! Select the icon of Star Emperor with the left mouse button. After confirming the candidate, an animated CG will appear in the game, accompanied by exclusive voice:
"The path I've walked is the path to becoming an immortal!"
Guo Mo: “…”
Good, good, good! Are you so pretentious? As expected of the protagonist of the game, he speaks with the flavor of the male protagonist in a cool novel. If he doesn't show his might and sweep away his opponent, it would be a shame to say this line!
On the other hand, Guo Mo's opponent [Brother Ba sent me to herd cattle] chose the female character Winged Supreme, who also has exclusive lines and voiceovers: "No need to revive the ancestor, I will surpass the ancestor!"
It's on fire!
The fighting hasn't even officially started yet, but the atmosphere is already tense.
Guo Mo's blood boiled after hearing the two lines of dubbing. He now had only one idea: either beat his opponent or be beaten by him.
Now that things have come to this, and he has already put on all his strength, it will be difficult to end this battle unless he defeats his opponent!
"3! 2! 1!"
As the countdown ended, the figures of Star Emperor and Winged Supreme appeared in an unfamiliar star field.
There is a star in the distance, illuminating the entire starry sky, and there are extremely tiny planets orbiting around the star.
"Let me see what this skill is..."
Guo Mo did not rush to attack his opponent, but instead studied the text description of each skill.
"Stop looking, the other side is coming!"
The barrage of prompts was still a little late. When Guo Mo was concentrating on studying the skill introduction, the Winged Supreme had already activated his exclusive imperial weapon and rushed in front of him with a rainbow light.
"ah?!"
Guo Mo was startled when he saw the white feathers flying all over the sky.
These feathers were actually phantoms of the Dao, and they caused area AOE damage. Because he stayed where he was, he was fully ate up in one go.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
That's not a moral code, right?
Guo Mo's health dropped a lot. After controlling the character to dodge, he also summoned his imperial weapon [Starry Sky Cauldron], and an extra layer of starlight shield appeared on his body.
Use [Starfall] with your backhand.
There is some bad news. Starfall is a non-directional skill and requires a certain ability to predict movement, so Guo Mo's move missed.
The good news was that his Starfall move accidentally hit a solid rocky planet similar to the Earth that was slowly floating in from a distance.
Then... the planet exploded! In the dark and cold universe, this Earth-like planet ended its life like a firework in extreme splendor.
A string of ellipsis appeared in the barrage.
"Go beat up that woman, why are you beating up my house?"
"When gods fight, mortals suffer, right?"
"It turns out it's not the Earth! I was so scared that I almost thought the Earth exploded..."
“To be honest, this special effect is so cool!”
There should be no life on that planet, right?
Guo Mo, who accidentally made a big mistake, was a little upset at the moment.
It's not that he feels guilty for the innocent lives that might exist on that planet, but as an FPS game master, he can't even hit anyone? Damn! Is he showing off his moves?
Aroused by his competitive spirit, Guo Mo decided to restore his dignity as an FPS master and let the guy on the opposite side know what it means that an emperor cannot be insulted.
"Wait, what's that sound?!"
Just as Guo Mo was fighting fiercely, he suddenly heard a dull buzzing sound.
The sound sounded a lot like the old fan at home, the sound of it spinning under heavy load when turned to the highest gear. However, because he was wearing headphones, he couldn't hear it clearly.
Boom!
Just when he was distracted, the opponent took the opportunity to summon the Thunder Vision, and a killing secret technique full of special effects caused his blood volume to drop sharply.
"Press the Y button! Quickly..."
The prompt from the barrage left Guo Mo no time to think about it. He decided to give it a try and pressed the Y key as instructed by the barrage coach.
Tianxin, save me!
The mark on the center of the eyebrows radiated light, guiding the elf [Tian Xin] to reappear. Guo Mo was surprised to find that golden smoke was floating all over the body of the Star Emperor.
What is this?
