Chapter 6 Hardcore Mode
Chapter 6 Hardcore Mode
Fortunately, Han Luo had already rushed behind the bandit and hit the back of the bandit's head with a stick with all his strength.
Bang! Perhaps because it hit the vital point, a red number of -18 appeared.
"Well done!"
Xiao Jie shouted, his steps erratic, seemingly retreating to defend himself. But when the bandit turned around to deal with Han Luo, he suddenly took a step forward and hit the bandit on the head with a stick.
The bandit roared and turned around to fight, but Xiao Jie immediately retreated, and Han Luo took the opportunity to hit him with another stick.
The two cooperated well, and after two rounds of fighting, the bandit's health was reduced by more than half.
Seeing that he was no match for his opponent, the bandit roared, turned around and ran away.
Xiao Jie thought that the monsters in this game were quite smart and they even knew how to escape. How could he let this thing get away? The two of them chased it while swinging wooden sticks to beat it.
Having no equipment also has its advantages. The two shirtless men obviously ran faster than the bandits. The bandits were hit by several sticks and saw that they could not escape, so they stopped abruptly.
He leaned forward and pressed the knife, making a movement to gather power, and a layer of scarlet halo appeared on his muscles in an instant.
Han Luo went up to finish off the enemy without thinking twice.
However, Xiao Jie noticed something was wrong and said, "Not good, retreat quickly!" He stepped back suddenly.
The next second - the bandit turned around and swung the sword in his hand.
Spin chop!
Brush brush!
The blade spun in the air, emitting three rays of light.
It was too late for Han Luo to dodge. The three swords hit Han Luo hard, -19, -21, -27! Blood splattered everywhere. Han Luo took all the damage from this combo, and lost most of his health in an instant. What was even more fatal was that he was also hit into a state of stiffness.
"Fuck!" Han Luo wanted to struggle, but the bandit came forward and chopped him down with his sword.
-
41 (Critical Hit)!
With a puff, Han Luo's severed head flew into the air, drew an arc and rolled in front of Xiao Jie, his eyes wide open as if he was unwilling to close.
This realistic beheading scene made Xiao Jie's heart tremble. Are all games nowadays so bloody?
Looking at Han Luo's headless body falling to the ground, Xiao Jie was a little confused. The damage of this little monster was too high. It killed the player in two moves. Did he encounter a BOSS?
No, this guy has only about 100 but less than 200 HP. It is definitely not a BOSS. I can only say that the monsters in this game are a bit fierce, even more so than the Souls-like monsters.
Fortunately, the opponent's health was not much left, and the action of putting away the knife after completing the kill just revealed a flaw.
Xiao Jie seized the opportunity and jumped up, attacking with a leap!
Bang! Using the momentum of the charge, he knocked the bandit off balance.
-
9!
Charge up—hit hard!
At the moment when the bandit regained his balance, the wooden stick hit the bandit's head. Because it was a heavy blow, the bandit was severely stunned, -18!
Seeing the bandit half-kneeling, Xiao Jie swept his sword towards his head.
-
12!
The bandit was knocked to the ground with the blow, what a good opportunity!
I came up and took an execution.
A stick hit the bandit's head with all its strength, bang! -22 (execution attack)!
The bandit's head exploded like a watermelon.
The headless corpse twitched twice and then stopped moving.
Xiao Jie heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the bandit's corpse. He wondered who designed such a perverted game, how could the first monster be so difficult to kill? Fortunately, I have strong skills, otherwise I would have given away the first blood.
But the hitting feeling is really great. There are subtle differences in the feedback when the stick hits different parts of the body, which is really exciting.
Look at what was dropped: twenty-six coins and a tattered book.
Hey, the skill book was dropped.
[Kite Flip (body technique)
Learning requirements: Agility 12. Combat skills introduction: A basic combat skill commonly used by people in the underworld. It can dodge attacks from a specific direction by rotating the body and doing somersaults. 】
Xiao Jie looked at his attributes and found that he was just able to learn it.
Just double-click to learn.
It was a pity that no equipment was dropped. He took a scrutinizing look at the bandit's body. Because the scene was too realistic, every wound on the body was revealed extremely realistically. His head was smashed by a stick and his face could not be seen clearly.
Not far away, Han Luo's body was equally tragic, with internal organs flowing out of his stomach, blood and bone fragments on his chest, his head rolling on the ground, and his eyes wide open as if he had died.
He did not continue to pay attention to the details of the corpse, but concentrated on experimenting with the newly learned skills. The kite flip is a good dodge/displacement skill. It can flip two or three meters at a time. It is much more useful than rolling. The main thing is that it has a somersault special effect, which is very suitable for avoiding some powerful attacks from the front, or flying props or something.
He flipped it twice and found that this skill seemed to consume a lot of physical strength, and his character actually started to breathe heavily.
Well, it seems that my physical strength is a bit low.
And there are only a dozen points of health left.
Xiao Jie was considering whether to continue exploring forward and find a monster to give him a 'free return to the city' and familiarize himself with the resurrection mechanism of this game, when he heard Han Luo's annoyed voice behind him.
"Holy shit, what's going on!"
"what happened?"
“It seems that this game cannot be revived.”
Xiao Jie looked at Han Luo's screen, and sure enough, the screen was blood red with a big word "Death" in the middle, which was particularly conspicuous. There was an option to exit the game below, but there was nothing else to press.
Han Luo quit the game and entered it again, but it was still the blood-red death screen, and there was still no option to resurrect.
Xiao Jie couldn't help but be stunned. This game was completely different from the current games in terms of graphics and combat. It was a completely next-generation game. Logically, there shouldn't be such a low-level design flaw that players cannot be resurrected.
Could it be the so-called hardcore mode? He had played this kind of game before, where the player only had one life and could only start over if they died.
Expert mode, hardcore mode, honor mode, the names are different, but the rules are basically the same. Players only have one life, and if they die they can only delete their account and start over.
If that's the case, it doesn't matter. There's only one level anyway, so just rebuild it.
"Then try to rebuild a character."
"Uh, it seems that I can't rebuild the character either."
As Han Luo was speaking, he logged out to the character selection screen. However, there was only one character in the column, and it was grey and unselectable. There was also no option to delete the character. This was really weird.
Xiao Jie went over to help and tried twice but to no avail.
He pondered for a moment, "Don't worry, maybe you encountered a game bug. Let's report it to the official later. Maybe there will be some insider rewards. Let's go out for dinner first and talk about the future of this game."
Han Luo had no choice but to agree. He had been a professional player for several years and could naturally see the amazing aspects of this game. Unfortunately, he encountered this terrible thing after playing for less than an hour. He was really speechless.
But overall, today is still worth being happy about as I found a good game suitable for brick-moving.
Along with it, all the resentment towards Liu Qiang also disappeared.
Xiao Jie originally wanted to find a monster to send him back to the city for free, but now he didn't dare to do so. He obediently ran back to the village and then quit the game.
When the two of them went downstairs, Han Luo couldn't help but excitedly said, "This game is so awesome, but there's no news about it in the online gaming community. It must still be in the internal testing phase. Now that we have the experience of internal testing, we will definitely make a lot of money when this game becomes popular. We must thank Liu Qiang later."
