"I was so close to making it! Just a tiny bit! It was just one last little jump!"
Zhou Liye was so angry that she could barely speak.
“I’m speechless!…! ￥ gulu…%! #￥…@￥%”
Then, he angrily prepared to walk through the first map again to try the spike array once more.
but!
Because Zhou Liye's actions were distorted, he ended up dying twice more on the first map, which he had already cleared several times, both times from being hit by falling apples.
Zhou Liye: "..."
He took a deep breath, barely suppressing the urge to curse, tears welling up in his eyes. He threw down his headphones and ran out of the study.
"Bang!"
He kicked over his own trash can.
Then Professor Zhou's voice came from the bedroom: "What are you doing?!"
Zhou Liye squatted next to the trash can and sadly realized that it was her turn to clean the house again today, so she had no choice but to pick up the trash can again.
To be honest, if it weren't for the contract signed for the live broadcast, which required guaranteeing two hours of recording time for "I Wanna Go Home" today, Zhou Liye would have quit.
"This thorn is too much of a bully!!"
Zhou Liye said to his audience with grief and indignation.
And the viewers' comments were like this:
[Holy crap, that's so tragic, hahaha!]
[The streamer pats his head and says, "Hurry up and save! We've locked that save point for you, hurry up and log in!"]
That save point really infuriated Zhou Liye.
He finally mastered the skill, and after dying more than thirty times, he made it through the spiked maze. It seemed like he was finally about to reach the save point he had been longing for...
It ran away again!
And he instantly teleported back to his original position!
In other words, Zhou Liye has to jump back through the spike array in reverse to return to that position in order to save his game.
Zhou Liye took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, and veins bulging on his forehead.
I don't know if it was divine intervention, but this time I succeeded in the reverse spike jump on the first try.
Zhou Liye didn't even have time to be happy; he immediately rushed straight towards the save point.
Bullet comments:
I have a bad feeling...
[I'm so anxious! Will this save even work?]
Just before Zhou Liye reached the save point, it flew away again...
It even flew directly across the screen to the first map.
Zhou Liye followed the map step by step back to it.
The save point was hidden behind an apple tree, and on that tree, a bright red apple was trembling—trembling suggestively.
Zhou Liye finally spoke, his voice even sounding different: "I bet this apple is going to cause trouble! And it won't just fall like that!"
As he spoke, he took a deep breath, making sure he was fully prepared, and then slowly made his way through it.
...
However, the apple tree was perfectly normal.
The apples didn't fall, the trees didn't collapse, the sun still wore its mysterious smile, and nothing happened.
Zhou Liye finally saved the game, but he looked numb and didn't feel happy at all.
He spent a full two minutes outsmarting a non-existent trap—but nothing happened!
"I still feel like I've been played..." he said sadly.
Bullet comments:
[A perfect psychology game, hahaha]
[Bai Cai's plan: He found a ghost with the Dragon-Slaying Saber!]
However, the moving teleportation points and the spiked array were just appetizers.
Soon, Zhou Liye witnessed what "flexible thorns" meant, what "some people are still alive, but are actually dead" meant, and what "invisible pits" meant.
Gradually, the live stream room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Zhou Liye's voice had completely changed in tone.
The way they speak has also become very strange.
"Oh ho, look at this thorn, it's so sharp and shiny; just like this save file, it's so red and round..."
