Chapter 1140: Playing as Teacher Gundyr (Third Update)
Many people were still wondering why the ceremony was so simple, but the moment that dazzling portal opened, the players instantly lost their composure.
A brand new oasis?!
Under the gaze of the entire world, jointly opening this new world—clearly, this was the main event!
This damn Serent really never rests, huh? The highlight of the wedding was actually opening a brand-new game world!
Chen Mo and Li Jingsi stepped together into that resplendent, colorful world. Countless stars seemed to welcome their arrival, emitting moving light and twinkling endlessly.
At that moment, all players received a system notification.
The new version of the Oasis has been opened. Welcome, everyone, to a brand-new game world!
Instantly, countless fireworks exploded in the sky. Above the players, ribbons and flowers scattered through the air. Amidst the roaring cheers like a tidal wave, the atmosphere grew even more heated!
This was a global carnival for players worldwide!
After the ceremony ended, the players didn't leave immediately. They wanted to take photos with those faction leaders. Some players returned to the Horde base and the Night Elf village to continue the activities and claim those special rewards.
Seeing this situation, the guild leaders of the major guilds knew that tonight's activities were out of the question, so they simply canceled them outright.
Meanwhile, the players who had watched the live stream on the Thunder Game Platform were shocked to discover... the games were on sale again???
And this time, it was a crazy discount on top of a discount—on the original 50% off, an additional 10% off, symbolizing longevity and eternity.
Not only that, but games like League of Legends had several special gift packs added.
The first was Serent's Red Envelope, which all players could claim once for free. It could randomly yield some items and in-game currency rewards, with some players even getting the best reward of 9,999 game coins, equivalent to nearly a thousand soft RMB.
The second was Sincere Blessings. After spending 10 bucks to buy this gift pack, players could write a blessing to Chen Mo, and then randomly draw a reward once.
The rewards were diverse. It could be a champion from League of Legends, a piece of equipment or a pet from World of Warcraft, or even a game.
As long as it existed on the Thunder Game Platform, this blessing pack could potentially give it. Of course, it all came down to luck.
Naturally, even the Matrix Game Pod could be drawn, though the probability was about the same as winning the lottery.
But one advantage was that there was absolutely no behind-the-scenes manipulation or insider involvement. Those who won did so by their own luck, and no one could envy anyone else.
The players were all stunned. Serent, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?!
Everyone else spends money on their weddings, but you're still thinking about making money?!
Where's your face?!
Heh, say no more. I'm going all in!
This thing was just like a scratch-off ticket. It was only 10 bucks anyway. The reward didn't matter; what mattered was the thrill of the draw...
Many wealthy players directly threw down thousands or even tens of thousands. After all, plenty of those who could afford the Matrix Game Pod were loaded. This event not only seemed very cost-effective but also allowed them to send blessings to Chen Mo, making it a nice gesture.
Some players also excitedly entered the new version of the Oasis world, eager to see what changes had taken place there.
...
"With all these modes, the only one I really care about is this entertainment mode."
Old Qin muttered to himself as he selected the entertainment mode to enter.
"Need to match? Oh, instant queue. Looks like this mode is played with other players too."
After entering the game, Old Qin found the surroundings seemed somewhat familiar.
"Why does this look so familiar? Hey, isn't this the entrance to the Firelink Shrine? Looks like Gundyr's place? Hey, why can't I move?"
Old Qin realized his body wasn't obeying him. Aside from being able to slightly roll his eyes, every other part of him was frozen stiff.
Then, as he rolled his eyes downward, he saw the coiled sword stuck right in his chest.
"What the hell, what does this mean? I'm Gundyr? I'm Gundyr?!"
Old Qin was completely dumbfounded. After being taught a lesson by Teacher Gundyr so many times, now he was the one playing as Teacher Gundyr???
How... inexplicably a little exciting...
Old Qin was straining to roll his eyes and look around when he saw two Undead walk in.
As they entered, the two were chatting.
"A two-player mode for Dark Souls? Isn't that way too easy? Those minor enemies are all pushovers."
"Definitely. Two people fighting is way easier than one. As long as one draws aggro, the other can just stab the monster in the back. Sure is an entertainment mode, really simple."
"But do you think this entertainment mode will make us play through the entire Dark Souls from the start?"
"I don't think so. Probably just beat a few specific bosses and we're done?"
As they spoke, the two arrived in front of Old Qin. One player was about to reach for the coiled sword when he suddenly seemed to see something and jumped back.
His action startled the other player.
"Whoa, what's wrong with you? Jumpy much."
The first player stared closely at Gundyr's face. "I feel like something's off. Didn't Teacher Gundyr's eyeball just move a bit?"
The other player scoffed. "Who are you trying to scare? The coiled sword hasn't even been pulled out yet. How could his eyeball move? Stop messing around."
The first player looked at Gundyr's face again. "Guess it didn't move. Maybe I saw wrong. Alright, I'm pulling the coiled sword."
The player slowly pulled the coiled sword out, and Old Qin felt his body steadily regaining strength. He couldn't help but grip the halberd tightly.
"Here we go, here we go! I'll stand in front of him and parry. You get ready to stab him in the back."
The knight in front raised his shield high, while the other player circled around behind Old Qin.
Old Qin smirked coldly. He suddenly spun around, slamming his halberd downward, smashing the player behind him flat onto the ground!
The knight in front was still holding up his shield, completely stunned. What the hell was this?
Why wasn't Teacher Gundyr following the script?
The player who got smashed tried to roll away, only to see Gundyr's halberd instantly track him, landing three consecutive hits precisely on the spots he rolled to.
The knight player was baffled. Shield raised, he was utterly confused about his situation.
What's going on? My buddy got one-shot by Teacher Gundyr?
What the hell is this? Teacher Gundyr isn't following the script at all!
Not only that, but... it felt like this Gundyr was actually a player. The AI was way too good, wasn't it??
