Chapter 30: The Game of the Strong

On the Internet, players who were mocked by Johan's malicious operations became furious and began to vent on major communication software and forums.

But this is also what Johan wants to see, and it can be said to be part of his plan.

There are now polarized opinions on his games on the Internet.

It is definitely very popular, but it also drove some players crazy. There are not so many high-level players in the game. Nine out of ten players are howling, and one is howling violently.

Johan had no intention of apologizing to those clumsy people for their reluctance and anger at being ridiculed.

Instead, they put long-prepared and exciting videos of advanced players showing off their skills or beating bosses without taking any damage on the official website.

Whether it's Sekiro or Devil May Cry, although both are difficult, they are not unacceptable.

Johan's game editing videos, as well as the editing videos of those high-level players that he paid some money to entrust to him, are all posted on the Internet.

And it also comes with his personal message.

"Sekiro is a game for the strong. Devil May Cry has difficulty options. If you can't beat Sekiro, you can play Devil May Cry. Although escaping is shameful, it is very useful~"

"Sekiro doesn't have a difficulty option, because in my mind, Sekiro is a game for game masters. It may be a little difficult for ordinary players. In a high-difficulty game, in addition to selecting game masters with strong operation skills, I also hope that ordinary players can gradually become stronger."

"Sekiro can train the player's will, reaction, wisdom and other comprehensive tests!"

"My original intention was that players who can complete the game Sekiro must be better than others!"

Johan's words also played a key role. Although the other party's opening sentence "Escape is shameful, but it is very useful" angered many players.

But after seeing the subsequent comments, the polarized comments gradually became better.

At least there are fewer players complaining that the game is too difficult. Even though they know that Sekiro is difficult, they still want to play it.

Everyone has a competitive and comparative mentality, and competition in games is even more common. The only difference is that this time the competition is not about how strong the game character is or how much gold you have spent.

Sekiro and the highest difficulty Devil May Cry only depend on the player's excellent skills.

Players who can complete the game Sekiro must be better than others!

Johan's words really touched the hearts of the players. At least those who showed off their skills in live broadcasts or videos thought that this sentence was very right.

It's reasonable that Sekiro is difficult. After all, it is to select the strongest gamer. If you are so bad, you can just not play it. Why play Sekiro if you don't have some real strength? Just play Devil May Cry, the lowest difficulty!

"Raiden Games is very conscientious and has prepared two exquisite action games. I believe that all players who have played them will not think they are bad. Players who are not as good as Sekiro in gaming skills can try playing Devil May Cry, which is also a fine action game."

"Haha, the best, of course the game has to be a bit more difficult to be challenging, but it's not impossible to beat it."

"It's natural for a good game like Sekiro to be difficult. It doesn't require any in-game purchases. The most important thing is the skill. Players who can't beat it can look up guides online."

"On the top floor, after I played Sekiro and Devil May Cry, playing other action games is so easy. Advanced players can show their skills in Sekiro, and ordinary players can improve their gaming skills through Sekiro."

"If you feel that your willpower, reaction, wisdom and other comprehensive qualities are not up to par, you should go and have some fun!"

"Both games produced by Raiden are top-notch. You can complain that they are difficult to play, but they are definitely classics. In today's action games, what games do you think can compare to Sekiro and Devil May Cry?"

"After I played the exciting and refreshing Devil May Cry, I couldn't even look at other action games. Really, there's no comparison!"

"The gameplay and combat feel of Sekiro are obvious to everyone. It's obvious that Raiden Company put a lot of effort into making it. It's okay to complain about it being difficult to play online, but you can't attack other parts of the game!"

Because Johan had anticipated this situation, he was well prepared, and now the polarization has become well received.

The sales of the game are also skyrocketing uncontrollably.

Sitting behind his desk, looking at the ever-increasing pre-sale figures and the colorful game icons gradually appearing in the system game catalog, Johan smiled.

"You are really something, Johan."

Looking at the messages on the official website, Kobayashi in front of him breathed a sigh of relief. After Johan's operation, it was impossible to say that he was not worried.

Kobayashi doesn't want to see the game of the company he works for fail.

Many employees had previously felt that the result of their company's game release this time might not be good, but what they did not expect was that although in the first few days of the release, many people complained that the game was too difficult.

But gradually, the sounds became much quieter, and a large number of players started to play!

The reason is just as Johan said, every player has a competitive and comparative mentality. Johan wanted to ignite this fuse at the beginning, to make Sekiro and Devil May Cry burn as vigorously as possible, and then when the time came, he would point out the original intention of the game "Sekiro" being difficult to play.

Those who wanted to complain that the game was too difficult or that other game companies wanted to discredit them gradually disappeared.

This is also because the quality of the games produced by Raiden is really excellent. Others can only complain that the games are too difficult to play. If anyone dares to complain about the quality of the game, they will definitely be criticized by other players.

Anyone with two eyes who aren't used as light bulbs can see that the quality of the game is impeccable, and they can only find the only flaws in the game to vent their anger.

However, after the players had vented their anger to a certain extent, Johan brought out his previous remarks and completely blocked this outlet, leaving the players with no place to vent.

Both advanced game players and ordinary game players can play Sekiro. Those with superb gaming skills can show off their skills and prove that they are advanced players.

As for ordinary gamers playing Sekiro, just as Johan said before, you can make yourself stronger by playing Sekiro.

Many players were tortured to death by Sekiro, so they wanted to find other action games to relax. What was unexpected was that those other high-difficulty action games before they played Sekiro and the high-difficulty Devil May Cry were actually easy to play.

"Even though I'm just a little brother in Sekiro, I'm a king in other action games!"

"After taking the Sekiro exam, playing other games is as easy as going back to kindergarten~"

What Raiden Society said before was indeed not empty talk. Playing Sekiro and Devil May Cry can improve your gaming skills.

Therefore, those players who complained about the difficulty of the game remained silent. The characteristic of this game is that it is difficult. Difficulty is one of the labels of this game.

Having enjoyed the intense battle with Sekiro, it is difficult for them to experience dullness again.

Ding ding!

Just as Johan and Kobayashi were excitedly checking out posts about their own game on the Internet, they suddenly heard a sound of knocking on the glass.

You know, Johan's office is not on the first floor or anything like that. The only person who can knock on the glass in such a high building is...

"Thor..."

Kobayashi looked out the window helplessly at the orange-haired girl in a maid outfit with a happy smile on her face, strange dragon horns on her head, a pair of devil-like wings on her back.

Johan did not look helpless. Instead, he opened the window with a smile and let Thor in.

"Thank you, Johan-san~"

After Thor, dressed in a maid outfit, came in, she greeted Johan with a friendly smile, then looked at Kobayashi and said happily: "Kobayashi, I'm here to take you home!"

Because of his affection for Kobayashi and Johan's previous solemn instructions, Thor is very concerned about every aspect of Kobayashi.

When Johan went out to fish for ghouls at night, he did not find any ghouls in this area. After thinking about it, it might be because Thor was worried about Kobayashi's safety, and because of the reason Johan mentioned about ghouls before, Thor used some means to deal with the ghouls.

"I told you you don't need it."

Kobayashi looked a little unhappy and subconsciously touched her lower back. Because she slept too soundly before, she had to take a free ride on Thor's dragon when she went to work. Although it was free, the price was that she sprained her waist.

Regarding Kobayashi's action, Johan laughed and said, "I think it is necessary. Sister Kobayashi, if you go out to drink or something, who knows where you will end up."

In fact, it was proved that Kobayashi really needed the care of Thor, the dragon maid, and Johan was quite worried about this woman being alone.

With Thor, the dragon maid, taking care of her, no one would dare to mess with the dragon tamer Kobayashi.

"That was just an exception!"

Hearing what Johan said, Kobayashi blushed and felt embarrassed. She was so drunk that she didn't even know she had run into the mountains. Fortunately, she met Johan who helped her.

She also knew that it was dangerous for her to wander around drunk at night, and she was lucky that she didn't encounter any danger.

But it was a blessing in disguise as she met Thor, the dragon maid.

"If possible, I hope Sister Kobayashi won't make an exception even once. What if you run around drunk next time and end up in a ghoul's den?"

Johan will not indulge Kobayashi's fluke mentality in such matters. The world is not a single worldview, and many things cannot be judged by his past life memories.

Kobayashi is lucky, but her luck won't always be this good.

"With me protecting Kobayashi, there is no way some ghoul bastards can hurt Kobayashi!" In response to Johan's worries, Thor patted his big heart and assured him very seriously.

In fact, what Johan thought before was correct. For Kobayashi's safety, Thor did use cruel means to eliminate the ghouls in this area.

It's not just because of Kobayashi, but also because of Johan. Thor learned about Johan during the previous conversation with Kobayashi.

Johan's family died because of a ghoul attack, so for Kobayashi's safety and to repay Johan, she has no sympathy for those ghouls, only disgust.

There is no ghoul left in Kobayashi's home and the area where she works. Thor often sends out his perception and explores the area from time to time. If he senses a ghoul entering, he will directly exterminate it with thunder.

Kobayashi is finally reassuring..."

Johan watched with a smile the backs of Kobayashi and Thor as they walked away talking and laughing. In his heart, he felt sincerely for the worrying Kobayashi and the lonely Thor being together, and gave them his sincere blessings.

Although getting along with Thor may make Kobayashi a little uncomfortable at first, Johan believes that this man and this dragon need a period of adjustment. He believes that both of them will become the most important people in each other's eyes and hearts.

And with Thor's help, Kobayashi also has a great chance of stepping into the supernatural world. According to Johan's memory, he knows that Kobayashi's magical talent is rare. As long as he finds the right way, he will definitely achieve great things in the future.

Now that his path to becoming stronger is on the right track, all Johan needs to do now is to create games, play games to become stronger, and accept the guidance of Kobayashi beside him to deepen his own foundation.

There weren't many games that could improve his strength among the games he played these days. They were all small games from his previous life, such as beating up little kids, which improved Johan's physical fitness.

When playing the Forest Ice and Fire Man, you will get diamonds with ice and fire attributes, which can be used as cultivation resources.

The best thing was the game I played yesterday. I played a double-blade warrior and obtained the warrior template, which greatly improved Johan's physical fitness.

After all, the plot of the game "Double Blade Warrior" is based on Greek mythology, and the protagonist has defeated many powerful enemies and monsters along the way, so his strength should not be underestimated.

"I hope a better game can be released tonight..."

The air on June nights was very hot, but for him who possessed ice power, he didn't feel it much at all.

He planned that this time the game would sell well, so he would celebrate with his employees and reward them well.

"But before that..." Johan's silent eyes gradually became cold and stern. He went into a dark corner and moved at high speed. He stepped on the ground with a little force, and then jumped up lightly.

After just a few quick relays, he had reached the top of a tall building and started moving rapidly, constantly moving quickly through the city.

Johan came to a sparsely populated area and landed on a building. He took out a mask from his backpack and put it on his face, and changed all his clothes.

This area has been under martial law by CCG. Based on the memory information Johan obtained from Mado, and the fact that he had instructed some people to inquire about the movements in this area in the past few days, after he heard the news of the martial law in this area, he was ready to take action.
