Chapter 224 Playing Cards!

When Shen Lun realized Avalon's purpose, a strong sense of unease and anger welled up in his heart.

He even felt like he had been played for a fool.

But he remained calm... mainly because he couldn't afford not to. He wasn't powerful enough to go to Avalon and unplug their internet; he could only water their money trees with boiling water...

at this point.

He needs to figure out what games Avalon plans to reveal next before making any decisions.

Correct.

Don't panic.

Although the game looks beautiful.

But if that's all there is to it, it's not a big problem! It's just a single-player game!

Shen Lun, his face grim, tried to convince himself while continuing to stare at the screen.

Next.

Live streaming.

Tang Yao then showed some of the later levels of "Yun", whose art style was almost identical.

Each level is composed of simple, clear straight lines and a few curves.

The visuals are clean and beautiful.

...Towering towers, shimmering water, steep valleys—these essential elements for creating atmosphere are perfectly presented in just a few strokes.

It's so interesting to look at that it's captivating.

If these are the outer shell of the game "Yun", then the gameplay beneath that shell is its interesting soul.

It's a simple game where you just tap to control the protagonist, but Tang Yao intuitively manipulates the mechanisms and solves one puzzle after another.

The audience still found it enjoyable.

of course.

Being stupid can also raise your blood pressure.

This game is indeed very special, at least in this world, in this game environment, it is unique.

The puzzle design, in particular, is stunning. The gameplay, which combines ingenious design with excellent performance, and the clever use of optical illusions, makes for a truly magical experience.

Most importantly, the difficulty level is not too high and remains within a reasonable range.

Because of the large number of viewers in the live stream, after watching for a long time, many viewers were able to come up with solutions to new challenges even faster than Tang Yao.

But we still need to watch Tang Yao try...

At that moment, they really wished they could go on stage themselves!
Unfortunately, I can't access it.

This resulted in an increasing number of comments in the live stream, creating a very explosive effect.

"The game is fun... it's just that the streamer is a bit of a goofball."

"Even I can see how to solve it, but this young lady is still using brute force..."

"I want to play! Hey girl! Why don't you tell Avalon to release the game quickly? You're driving me crazy! I want to play it myself!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"..."

Tang Yao was also watching the comments. Seeing that the audience had become interested in the game, she stopped playing instead of continuing: "You guys are so long-winded... Anyway, this is the first game. It has a special name, called 'Yun'."

"What I just showed you was only the beginner level; there will be more complex and sophisticated levels to come."

"This game is now available on the ANF Games section. The demo version will be available tomorrow, and the full version will be released at the end of the month."

"That's the advertising copy."

"The next game!"

"..."

She took the opportunity to switch to another game.

moment.

There were far fewer comments on the screen.

Clearly, many people have gone to the gaming section to check out games.

Of course, many viewers were unhappy, and the screen was filled with comments like "No!", "I want to watch more!", and "If you're stupid, just keep playing!"

But Tang Yao ignored them and let the audience shout.

Because that's exactly what we want—for them to feel like they haven't had enough.

off screen.

Shen Lun's face darkened further as he looked at the messages of entreaty that kept popping up in the window next to him, and at how interested the players were in the game.

Then, he turned his gaze back to the swaying anime girl character on the screen... He wondered, was this part of the plan, deliberately leaving users wanting more? Or was it because time was limited, forcing them to switch games?

But before he could reach a conclusion...

The live stream then switched to the second game...

This time, however, it wasn't the sound of howling wind that filled the air... but rather a light and cheerful melody.

The crackling of burning firewood was accompanied by boisterous cheers and clinking glasses.

all of a sudden.

The audience jumped from the ethereal and secluded temple of "Yun" to a bustling tavern.

Vulgar.

But it was lively.

And it was also in this hustle and bustle.

The game logo appears.

The audience finally stopped shouting "Don't leave!" and the number of animated comments on the screen began to decrease sharply.

Obviously.

They were still interested in this second game.

"This is the second game announced today – Hearthstone."

After the game logo appears.

Tang Yao's voice rang out immediately, but she didn't rush to talk about the game. Instead, she explained, "As for why it's called that, according to the staff, fireplaces were very popular in medieval Europe. They not only served to keep warm and decorate, but the area in front of the fireplace was also a place for family activities. Therefore, fireplaces and hearthstones were often synonymous with home."

"It is said that there was an ancient tradition in medieval Europe that people who were about to leave home would often take a hearthstone from their fireplace. It is unknown whether they found it too heavy... but there was such a custom. Whenever they thought of their hometown, they would look at the hearthstone next to them to ease their homesickness."

"The main reason I've said all that is to tell you the meaning behind the game's name: I hope that when you play the game, you can find the feeling of coming home, forget the troubles of reality, and feel the warmth of home."

"As for how to feel the warmth of home..."

Tang Yao smiled gently and then said, "Simply put, it's playing cards."

"But it's not your average card game."

"This is a fantastical world, filled with dragons, elves, goblins, and demons..."

"It also features captivating legends, thrilling adventures, and of course... countless tales."

"And in a certain inn, travelers gathered together and, using those legends and stories as a backdrop, designed this card game."

"Here, players will collect cards, build decks, become legendary heroes, and engage in fierce battles with other players."

Tang Yao spoke while clicking on the game interface.

Haha, forget your worries and find a seat!

Accompanied by the innkeeper's rough and enthusiastic voice.

Hearthstone has been officially launched.

The game interface is very simple, unlike the previous game "Yun", which was eye-catching from the start.

On the contrary, it seemed quite ordinary.

Tang Yao selected the traditional battle mode, accompanied by instructions.

It cuts directly to the battle scene.

A card pack exploded.

[Oh! Yet another challenger! It's Archmage Jaina! Who will accept this challenge!?]

The hotel owner's enthusiastic voice rang out again.

A battle chessboard appears.

Jaina's portrait frame appeared and was placed in the center, while at the other end, another portrait frame appeared, which appeared to be a werewolf.

[Oh! It's Elwin's nemesis! Hogg the gnoll!]

【Game start! 】

The game tutorial appears, reminding Tang Yao to use her followers to attack Hogg. As long as she deals enough damage, she can win the game.

Just now in the live stream, the viewers were still clamoring to continue watching "Yun".

But after this scene appeared, the comments disappeared.

Because viewers discovered that this game... also seemed quite unique.

And the other side.

Shen Lun stared blankly at the game screen.

Heroes? Challengers? Hmm... Is this a card game?
Is this... correct?
