48 Hours a Day-Chapter 1411: Game Compensation
Chapter 1411: Game Compensation
Four months ago, in the valley.
In his new home, Zhang Heng tried to start the engine that had been removed from the polo to recharge the battery. Then, he took out a ps4pro from his luggage.
This ps4pro was the prize he had won in the first round of the proxy war. It was limited to the top 50.
However, there was nothing special about the machine itself. It was exactly the same as the one available on the market. The only difference was that there was a pre-installed game called “Endless Journey”.
Zhang Heng connected the ps4pro to the battery. The game God, Gaime, had disappeared more than a month ago. However, Zhang Heng still remembered what Gaime had said to him when they first met in the Chernobyl dungeon, it was also the last time they met.
Gaime had told him that if he wanted to contact him, he could use the ps4pro.
Without the other party’s PSN account, there was no doubt that the contact information that Gaime was referring to was hidden in the game called “Endless Journey.”.
In fact, recently, Zhang Heng would play this Xianxia game whenever he was free.
Although the game process was surprisingly long and deserved the name endless journey, Zhang Heng himself had 24 hours more than the average person. After such a long time, he was finally close to clearing the game.
On the first night he arrived at his new home, Zhang Heng had completely cleared the game.
However, other than the words “Congratulations on clearing the game,”he received nothing.
Zhang Heng put down the controller and moved his fingers and waist. After a moment of contemplation, he stood up and ate something. Then, he opened the game again and started playing the second week’s game.
Zhang Heng had already realized that this was not a single-ending game. Perhaps the ending that he had played in the first week’s game was not the correct answer.
Therefore, Zhang Heng deliberately made the opposite choice in the second week’s game. Previously, he had chosen the path of Immortals, but this time, he chose the path of demons.
Compared to the path of Immortals, the path of demons was much simpler. There were not so many complicated main storyline quests, and the main storyline was mainly focused on combat. It was fine as long as he hacked all the way to the end. In addition, even though his level was cleared to zero.., however, one piece of equipment from the first week could be inherited. The godly equipment that Zhang Heng had fought hard for half an hour against the boss finally came in handy. Other than that, he had also unlocked more powerful skills and characters.
Therefore, even though the difficulty of the second week’s time had increased, it was still within an acceptable range.
However, after clearing the demonic path, other than receiving the same congratulatory words, Zhang Heng still could not find any clues related to gaime.
Zhang Heng was not in a hurry to open the third week’s time. Other than the fact that he was already a little pressed for time, it was also because he began to realize that his previous train of thought in solving the problem might not have been correct.
At this time, it had been a week since he entered the mountain. His nightmares hadn’t stopped every night, and his mental state was getting worse and worse. Even at the most optimistic estimate, he would only be able to hold on for another ten days.
Furthermore, Zhang Heng didn’t think that other people and gods would give him so much time, so he knew that he only had one more chance to play.
If he wanted to continue with his plan, he had to find Gaime first.
Zhang Heng boiled a pot of hot water and made a bowl of instant noodles to fill his stomach. Then, he started the game again.
In the third week, Zhang Heng did not bother with the main storyline. After he successfully created the character, he started to wander around the world. Zhang Heng had already realized that the map for the previous two weeks was very special, it wasn’t unlocked along with the storyline. In other words, as long as you were willing, you could reach any corner of the world.
Of course, there was also the possibility of being instantly sent home by the monsters there.
However, after the first two weeks of the game, with Zhang Heng’s observation and memory, he could already remember the actions and attacks of most of the monsters, as well as their aggro radius. Therefore, even though he ran around the map, very few of them were sent home.
After throwing away the constraints of the quest, Zhang Heng walked a considerable distance on the endless journey map this time. Finally, he found what he was looking for in a small fishing village near the East Sea.
The Sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the surface of the sea orange.
A fisherman wearing a straw cape sat motionlessly on the fishing boat. From the back, it looked quite artistic.
However, when Zhang Heng controlled his character to circle in front of him, all the artistic conception he had before was destroyed. Then, Zhang Heng realized that he had also entered the game and replaced his Level 6 trumpet character.
“You’re too much of a fool.”Zhang Heng jumped up from another fishing boat.
In front of him, Gaime had woven a simple stand and placed the fishing rod on it. From there, he successfully freed his hands and could hold a GBA.
This was the second-generation portable game console released by Nintendo in 2001. Although it only had a shelf life of five and a half years, its sales were very impressive, it could be said that it was the birthday present that every boy dreamed of at that time.
Zhang Heng glanced at the screen and realized that Gaime was still playing Pokémon.
Gaime saw that Zhang Heng had also paused the game in his hands and said, “Congratulations on finding me in the third week.”He did not immediately ask Zhang Heng why he had come, nor did he rush to discuss the situation outside, the first question was, “What do you think of my game?”
Zhang Heng told the truth, “The graphics are excellent, the attack is perfect, and the operation is smooth. I haven’t encountered any bugs yet, but the plot is mediocre, and the character creation isn’t that interesting. Even though it’s an open map, the degree of freedom isn’t that great. It’s far from the Dungeon Games I’ve played before. Logically speaking, if it wasn’t for finding you, I wouldn’t have had the interest to play until the third week.”
Gaime nodded. “This is also the situation of us gods.”
“What situation?”
“We have great power, but we can not escape the path of fate. To put it simply, the degree of freedom is still too low.”Gaime put down the GBA in his hand, “In comparison, you humans are like new characters in the game. Although the starting point is very low, it is full of growth. Later on, experience and choices will carve you into different shapes.”
“I don’t have many choices. Not long after I was born, my life was arranged by different people,”Zhang Heng said calmly.
“But you still came here,”Gaime said, “The main side quests in this world have already been written, but you still found this fishing village that has nothing to do with any quests. So, tell me, what do you want from me?”
“I found a bug for you in the Chernobyl dungeon. You said you wanted to compensate me, but I didn’t want anything back then. Now I know what I want.”
“What do you want? Let’s be clear, I can’t solve your problem,”GAIME said. “After all, I’m not omnipotent.”
“Don’t worry, what I want is very simple,”Zhang Heng said without hesitation. “I want to play another round of the game.”
