"Next, let's take a look at the protagonist Stelle's ultimate skill!"
Guinaifen excitedly tapped Stelle's ultimate skill.
It's safe to say that what she's most looking forward to now is seeing the ultimate skill animations of each character.
Every character has their own unique style and flair.
The effects are also exquisite and dazzling.
Completely different from those poorly made games she used to play.
You can clearly feel that the developers put a lot of effort into every detail.
For example, the illustration that flashes by when activating the ultimate skill.
It left Guinaifen absolutely stunned.
"Swish!"
Stelle's illustration was unexpectedly domineering.
Standing on one foot in mid-air, her left hand holding a golden orb.
She looked down at the screen with an "I'm the best in the world" attitude.
Steel and steam intertwined, with the massive Astral Express materializing behind her.
"Stelle's Trump Card!"
Stelle coldly pulled out a baseball bat from her waist.
The ordinary-looking baseball bat was now adorned with lightning and starry effects.
As if it had instantly become a +999 enhanced divine weapon!
"Rules are meant to be broken!"
The ensuing area attack was also incredibly powerful.
It felt like the screen was about to shatter!
The monsters hit by it instantly died.
Dealing a whopping 124 damage for the first time!
Previously, she was only dealing damage in the tens.
Not just Guinaifen, but even the viewers in the livestream were pleasantly surprised.
...
[Chat]
"The protagonist's ultimate is this cool too?"
"She's wielding a baseball bat, but it feels like she's holding a galactic holy sword!"
"So generous, so generous! The skill design is amazing!"
"Such a domineering female protagonist, I love it!"
...
Guinaifen was growing fonder and fonder of the female protagonist.
She was absolutely thrilled.
Eagerly, she went looking for more monsters to fight.
At the elevator, the story progressed.
The elevator's operating system had a malfunction, blocking the protagonist and March 7th from reaching the main control sector.
Fortunately, Dan Heng appeared just in time.
After some banter, he decided to take the two to the monitoring room to find Arlan from the defense department for help.
Once the dialogue ended.
A purple light suddenly flashed on the screen!
Under a winding maple tree, a man leaned against the trunk, his expression cold.
He held a cyan spear in his arms, exuding an air of detachment.
[Dan Heng (4-star, The Hunt) has joined the team]
???
"What does this mean? Did they just give us Dan Heng for free?"
Guinaifen widened her eyes, unsure.
She opened the team interface.
Sure enough, there was a "New" tag on the characters.
Indicating that the player had indeed obtained another character for free.
The tutorial was still guiding players to level up the newly acquired Dan Heng.
...
[Chat]
"No way! They're really giving him away?"
"Three characters now! Given the precedent set by the previous ones, I bet Dan Heng's ultimate is going to be just as cool!"
"Other games try their hardest to squeeze money out of us, but this game has already given us three characters for free!"
"Is the developer running a charity? I'm really afraid they'll go bankrupt!"
"Stop giving us free stuff, let me spend some money!"
...
Guinaifen was also amazed by the developer's generosity.
The game is so well-made, they could easily charge for it, but they're giving it away for free!
Without her having to say much.
The viewers in the livestream were already feeling a bit uneasy.
How is this game supposed to make money!?
After meeting Arlan, March 7th remembered that the key to unlock the elevator's permissions was on her.
While passing through a room.
She casually "picked up" a Light Cone.
After reading through the tutorial, Guinaifen understood.
"…So Light Cones are the weapons for characters of different paths in this game."
"The designer really knows how to blend things. These are rare items we can't even afford in real life."
"In the game, they're divided into 3-star, 4-star, and 5-star tiers."
"For now, we don't know how to obtain other Light Cones."
After equipping the protagonist with this 3-star Light Cone, they finally reached the elevator.
This time, the enemy they encountered seemed stronger than before.
A half-human, half-horse monster.
Among the Voidrangers, it was considered an elite.
"If I encountered this in real life, I'd have to take a detour, but since this is a game…"
"I'm going to test out Dan Heng's ultimate skill that I just got!"
Guinaifen said fiercely, gritting her teeth.
Then,
She tapped Dan Heng's ultimate skill.
[Illusory Realm, A Dream Within a Dream]
"Life and death, reality and illusion, all in a single thought."
Dan Heng held his spear horizontally.
At the tip of the spear was a pearl composed of black and white.
Smoke rings formed around the pearl.
Just like the name of the ultimate skill.
"Illusory Realm, A Dream Within a Dream."
As a maple leaf swept across the screen, the space around Dan Heng transformed into an ink-wash painting.
Only crimson maple leaves mixed with black ink strokes remained.
Dan Heng opened his eyes, ready to strike.
"Break!"
With that command.
He instantly appeared behind the Voidranger: Trampler, ink splattering like blood from the tip of his spear.
[Battle Ended]
(T/N: I researched a lot about his ultimate but could not find any accurate words and description of it)
...
[Chat]
"Wow! That was so cool!"
"What!? This ink-wash painting style can also convey such a strong sense of killing intent?"
"The visuals and effects are absolutely unmatched!"
"This is the style of our Xianzhou! The developer must be from Xianzhou!"
"They're giving away a character like this for free? I have to download this now."
"Starting with March 7th and Dan Heng for free? I'm making a killing here!"
