Chapter 7: Brother Tianlong seems to be a little vulnerable.
"Jedi... oh, no, it's Digging for Ascent."
Zhu Ji plopped down in the chair, feeling the gazes of most people in the studio.
Sit upright.
And isn't that what's displayed on the game details screen of "Getting Over It"?
Game Name: Getting Over It
[Developer: Insomnia Game Studio]
[Type: Side-scrolling platformer]
"Tsk, this is the game?"
As a die-hard fan of single-player games and a seasoned gamer both domestically and internationally, what game hasn't Zhu Ji played?
Looking at the somewhat rudimentary art style in front of me, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hahaha!"
"That so-called game critic is a complete joke!"
"They're still betting with me on the Golden Alliance! I think this alliance is doomed to lose!"
As he spoke, he clicked to enter the game.
Meanwhile, almost all the employees in the office who participated in the first test had their faces flushed red.
"How many levels do you think he can pass? Will he be able to reach the Hook Lamp Cave level?"
"Even as a seasoned level designer, I haven't reached that level."
"How exactly is President Shen's brain structured?"
"Haha, when I started testing it, I was almost discouraged by the art style."
"This old man is truly a man of great spirit despite his disability..."
"The first time we played was at 7 a.m., and the last time we played was also at 7 a.m., so three days had actually passed."
"Now we're just here to watch the show. By the way, when are we going to invite players to test it out?"
"I don't know, I heard it's related to Boss Shen."
"I'm getting more and more excited to see how the test players feel."
"..."
The game "Getting Over It" is small, and I was in the game almost immediately.
The chattering of the studio employees filled my ears.
Zhu Ji shook his head inwardly.
My thoughts were almost identical to my comments on that book.
Garbage game.
This studio is probably trying to make money through shady methods. How can such a trash game make money?
I don't believe this garbage game can make money!
Forget gold, I, Zhu Ji, would accept even death!
With that, Zhu Ji entered the game and prepared to control the game character to start the level.
To a seasoned player like Zhu Zhuji, this game was far too simple.
It's simply about controlling the character in front of you, using either a hammer or a pickaxe.
Skip over the obstacles and keep moving forward!
It's so easy!
Even Mario can't compare!
That's right, although there's no Nintendo in this world, there are side-scrolling platformers like Mario.
But it still happened.
Controlling Grandpa Ban and the strange props in his hands, he moved forward.
As he moved, he kept muttering:
"It's too easy. Just find a fulcrum and get this guy across, right?"
"Huh? There's a tree up ahead?"
"Too easy, it'll be over soon—"
As she spoke, Zhu Ji began to manipulate the old man to move!
However, they had only moved a few steps!
The tree that had broken Su Jianxue's defenses reappeared before them, but Zhu Ji was only slightly forced back.
The hurdle was cleared quickly.
But!
Soon, the uncle controlled by Zhu Ji arrived at the place the designers had mentioned, the Hook Lamp Cave!
He originally planned to play the game the way he usually does.
This level can be easily passed.
But as the prop in his hand slipped, *biu*—
I should have been up there, but when I woke up again, I was back at the starting point.
The character he was controlling had returned to the bottom of the mountain right under his nose!
"Huh? What's going on?"
Zhu Ji was taken aback, instinctively feeling that it was a problem with his own operation, that his speed was too fast.
That will allow you to pass this hurdle.
A mere side-scrolling platformer game, how could it possibly stop me, Zhu Ji?
result!
Obstacles can teach every hypocritical man a lesson; stubbornness is useless.
Biu——
It was another fall, this time directly from near the hole above.
At that moment, Zhu Ji immediately realized what was wrong!
"Holy crap! Something's not right!"
"What's going on? Is my operating speed even slightly slower?"
Upon seeing this, employees from all departments throughout the office area completely lost their composure!
"Pfft! Hahahaha! This game has decisively punished every stubborn player."
"Brain: Understood; Eyes: Understood; Hands: What the heck?!"
"This is a big shot. President Su didn't even get past the first tree."
"This is nothing. As a newbie villager who has never climbed to a high place, I would never experience the feeling of a mental breakdown from falling from a great height..."
"Don't rush, this is just the beginning. Who remembers a half-hour record in the newbie village?"
Anyway, I didn't go.
The next scene shows a series of people starting to climb the mountain.
It fell down.
They kept climbing, and then fell down again!
Such simple game graphics, in Zhu Ji's hands, have become a torturous demon!
The old man in the jar in front of him was like a curse to him.
He stared intently at himself.
In that office, the popularity score on the panel in front of Shen Huaizhou was constantly increasing.
【人气值：+1+1+1+1+1……】
Clearly, that novel gained a few more readers and collectors. As for what happened to Brother Tianlong outside...
He couldn't be bothered to care.
This game can teach every stubborn player to honestly experience the true fun of the game.
Is this not?
Zhu Ji is still experiencing the game; she hasn't even passed the beginner village levels yet.
He's currently struggling with this hammer and stone.
As the game progressed, the old man's rambling voice appeared.
He finally got past the obstacle of the lamp hole!
"Tsk! I already know how to play this game!"
"If I get the hang of it, I can get through this level with my eyes closed, right?"
"Tsk! Too easy!"
Before he could finish speaking, Grandpa Ban had already arrived at a new obstacle!
Slide slope!
This level, which has stumped countless players, is now being replicated before Zhu Ji's eyes!
The hammer hooked onto a fulcrum, and just as Zhu Ji was feeling smug, it struck!
Snap—
It glides smoothly and without bias.
Immediately afterwards, the character controlled by Zhu Ji was seen to return to its starting point.
At the same time, that guy acted as if nothing had happened.
He emerged from the earthenware pot again, holding either a hammer or a pickaxe in his hand.
I stared at myself in bewilderment.
Zhu Ji fell into a brief silence, and after a moment of bewilderment, she was completely stunned.
"No! I drafted—pfft!"
"Who designed this game?! Is it some kind of mentally torture game?!"
Clearly, this outrageous move had completely stunned him.
A harmonious burst of laughter filled the office.
"Pfft! Hahahaha—"
"I think President Shen is here to torment people, it's hilarious."
"They've broken through! They've broken through! Hahaha—"
