Chapter 289: New version is approaching, Feiying sets out for the mechanical ruins
It turns out.
It wasn't just Hua Yu and Ying Fubuki who felt that the new character in the new version information leaked by the insider had a striking similarity to Hua Lei.
Even some players below the post noticed this detail.
As the floors continued to rise, the discussion about this new version of the character became more and more heated.
At the same time, anticipation for the new version has reached an all-time high.
Players can't wait to learn more about the Mechanical Ruins.
I want to know the true identity of that new character and explore the story hidden behind those purple and black vines.
Although there has been no official response from the game company.
But this silence has only heightened players' curiosity and expectations.
at the same time.
the other side.
According to Taoyao's instructions, Xiaoxiao, the system elf who completed the task of revealing the new version on her behalf, ran back to Taoyao's consciousness space excitedly.
This pink elf, which is only the size of a palm, exudes a faint fluorescent light all over its body. At this moment, it is flying around in front of Tao Yao with a proud look on its face, just like a child who has done a great deed.
[Master, Master, Xiaoxiao has already done what you asked her to do! ]
The system elf Xiaoxiao happily circled around Taoyao, with a clear and pleasant voice. [Xiaoxiao selected several concept pictures that can attract the most attention of players according to your request, and deliberately put the picture of Sister Hualei at the end to create a perfect suspense! ]
Xiaoxiao stopped on Taoyao's shoulder and proudly puffed out her chest:
[Now that post has caused a huge sensation on the forum! Players are attracted by those pictures, especially the silhouette of the last girl Hualei. Several players have recognized her! In short, everyone is looking forward to the subsequent version updates! ]
As Xiao Xiao spoke, she projected the latest data from the forum into the air.
The post has been viewed over half a million times, has received over 20,000 comments, and has been shared an astonishing 30,000 times.
Such data is quite rare even in a large game like "Leprechaun Quest".
While speaking.
The system elf looked at Tao Yao with a little expectation, with a gleam in his eyes of hope for praise.
Tao Yao looked at her system elf excitedly asking for credit, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
As the heir to the gaming world, collecting popularity points is her primary task, and this small action has undoubtedly been a huge success.
Players whose curiosity is aroused will become an excellent source of popularity.
"Well done, Tiny."
Tao Yao gently stroked the little head and praised softly:
"This will initially increase the popularity of the new version."
There was obvious appreciation in Taoyao's tone, which made Xiaoxiao even more excited.
After making his system elf happy, Tao Yao turned his attention back to business.
……
At this moment.
In her deception...
Oh no, it was because of her efforts.
Hualei's attitude towards this mechanical steel ruin has changed significantly.
She was no longer afraid and resistant as she was when she first arrived. Instead, she began to be curious about everything here.
Recently, she has frequently asked Taoyao various questions.
As Hualei's understanding of this land deepened, her actions became more and more proactive.
She began to frequently go deep into the ruins, looking for mechanical life forms that had not been completely destroyed, repairing them, and reawakening their dormant consciousness.
One by one, the mechanical lives that were corroded by the death energy regained their life under the efforts of Huabud, and spontaneously gathered around the tower to form a small settlement.
The originally dilapidated and deserted tower gradually regained its former glory under Hualei's meticulous renovation.
The mechanical components on the tower started to operate again, and the once silent gears meshed together again, making regular clicking sounds.
The crystal ball on the top of the tower also began to shine again, becoming a beacon in the ruins, guiding other lost mechanical life forms to find their way home.
Just like that, thanks to Hualei's efforts, the originally dead mechanical city slowly regained some life.
......
Just as Hualei traveled to the game world "Fairy Journey" and gradually integrated into the entire game world with great interest.
the other side.
Blue Star.
Hua Yu officially announced the death of her sister Hua Lei on her social media account and live broadcast platform, and after a period of adjustment, she resumed her live broadcast activities.
As soon as this news was released, it immediately aroused strong response from fans.
Since the two sisters Huayu and Hualei often broadcast live together before, they are quite well-known in the gaming circle.
Especially Hua Lei, she is not only a true technical expert in the game "Fairy Quest", but also a recognized top operator.
Many players rely on the detailed strategies recorded by Hualei to pass the difficult levels in the game.
Many fans knew that Hua Yu had suspended her live broadcast before because she needed time to take care of her sick sister.
But the news of Hualei's death still came too sudden, making it difficult for many fans and gamers to accept this cruel fact.
The message posted by Hua Yu quickly accumulated tens of thousands of comments, each of which was full of reluctance to part with Hua Lei and support for Hua Yu:
"I can't believe Xiaolei is gone. Her guide to Fairy Quest was my first introduction to the game. Without her, I would have given up gaming long ago. I hope she can continue her gaming dream in heaven."
"God is jealous of talent! Hualei left us at such a young age. It is so heartbreaking."
"Sister Huayu, I am deeply saddened. Xiaolei must be doing well in the other world. I will always support your live broadcast and will always remember Xiaolei's smile and those wonderful gaming moments."
"Ah? Has she been gone for half a month? I read Hualei's guide and completed the new version of the game last month, but I didn't expect that she is gone... How could such a cruel thing happen in the world? How old is she? There should be endless possibilities in the future."
"To be honest, Hualei is the most talented player I have ever seen. Her understanding of Leprechaun Quest and her operating skills are simply unmatched. Every time I see her fight a difficult boss in Leprechaun Quest, it is an artistic enjoyment."
"I always thought Xiaolei was just sick and would be back soon to live stream with Huayu... It's really hard to accept this news."
"To be honest, considering the new character in the subsequent version leaked by the insider, I actually hope that she is Hualei... Although it is probably a coincidence, I would be really touched if Hualei could be made into a character in the game as a commemorative figure! After all, little Hualei has been making game guides, so it's not too much to ask for a place as a commemorative character in the game, right?"
"..."
More and more players began to leave comments under the message posted by Hua Yu.
These messages are not only a remembrance of a gamer, but also a regret for the passing of a young life.
In these texts, people expressed their fear of death, their awareness of the fragility of life, and their most sincere blessings for the deceased.
Of all these messages, the one that stood out the most was the one about the buds being made into commemorative characters.
This message quickly received tens of thousands of likes and became a popular comment.
Many players also hope that Hualei's soul can exist in "Fairy Quest" in some way to continue her unfinished game journey.
These comments undoubtedly deepened the speculation and discussion sparked by the mysterious figure.
More and more people are beginning to believe that the girl entangled by purple and black vines that will appear in the game is a special way for the game company to commemorate Hualei.
Hua Yu stared at the overwhelming messages on the screen of her mobile phone. Each one was like an invisible knife, piercing deeply into her heart.
Although the fans' concern, mourning and remembrance were warm, they also ruthlessly tore open her wounds that had not yet healed.
Especially the message about making Hualei into a game character, which triggered an indescribable throbbing in her heart.
With shaking fingers, she slowly scrolled the screen, reading the messages one by one. Some fans also shared video clips of Hualei's games before her death. Those moments of laughter and the joy of victory were all frozen in the eternal past.
"Xiao Lei, if that is really your commemorative role, it would be great..."
Hua Yu whispered softly, her voice choked with sobs.
Memories flooded back like a tide, those nights when I stayed up late playing games with my sister, the afternoons when we shared strategy tips, and the cheers when we celebrated our success in completing a game together...
Everything seems so distant, yet so clear as if it happened yesterday.
After an unknown amount of time, Hua Yu finally turned off the tablet and gently placed it on the table beside her.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her fluctuating emotions.
The room was silent, with only the occasional chirping of birds outside the window reminding us that life goes on.
A few minutes later, Hua Yu picked up the tablet again and opened her live broadcast platform account.
Her fans are still there, waiting for her return.
No matter how painful it is, life must go on.
She began to edit a live broadcast preview:
"Tonight at 8 o'clock, explore the new dungeon of "Leprechaun Journey" version 2.4."
After sending the notice, Hua Yu leaned back on the sofa, closed her eyes, and let herself immerse in the silence for a short time.
No matter what, life must go on.
Although my sister Hualei is no longer alive.
But she will continue to play the game on behalf of her sister.
This is not only to commemorate Hualei, but also for the fans who have always supported the two sisters.
At the same time, she also began to look forward to the subsequent updates of "Fairy Journey".
Especially that mysterious new character, the one whose silhouette looks so much like a flower bud.
Although her mind told her that it was just a coincidence, she stubbornly held on to a glimmer of hope deep down in her heart.
Hopefully, the game company is truly honoring Hualei’s memory, and that her sister’s spirit can live on in some way in the gaming world they both loved.
In addition to live streaming, she also decided to continue producing game strategy videos and try to maintain the same update frequency as before.
Not only does this help other players, it also makes her feel like she’s not completely disconnected from her bud.
After all, every time she operated the game character, she could always recall the skills and experiences that Hualei taught her.
……
So, time passed day by day.
The version of "Fairy Journey" is also constantly updated and iterated.
Version 2.5 brings new areas to explore;
Version 2.6 adds a series of side quests;
Version 2.7 introduces a new map called the Kingdom of Gold.
Each minor version update is accompanied by a so-called "long grass period"...
The game content is equally rich.
But compared with the big version, the content and gameplay are relatively scarce.
This phase is a period of declining player activity.
