Pokémon, but cultural invasion

Just then, a comment caught Qishu's attention.

"Thoughts flow like a spring: Hey streamer, there's a game by the author of the Electric Fan that I've completed, which is at the end of a recent new game."

Qishu wasn't the only one to notice this comment.

"Really? I want to see."

"It's probably a headline scam."

"An electric fan? I need to see what's going on!"

Qi Shu's lips twitched. At the request of her fans, she scrolled down to the bottom of the list, where a game with a small Geodude icon caught her eye.

"Digging to climb higher?"

Curious, Qi Shu clicked on it and saw in the description section: "The game was completed within a month of its release, and the author is streaming with an electric fan."

vulgar!

Qi Shu muttered a curse under his breath, but he couldn't resist the audience's eagerness to watch.

"I respect the author as a warrior."

"That was very enjoyable."

"Hurry up, I want to see it!"

She glanced at the production team—Tingxiang Studio.

"Since the author dares to make such outrageous claims, this game must be very difficult, but our livestream focuses on skill!"

At 1200 yen, it's not cheap for a small-scale game.

Qi Shu didn't even blink and bought it on the spot.

"Selling for 1200? The author's gone mad."

"He's just enjoying the 1200 yen per day electric fan."

"Beets! How come I didn't think of that?"

Download and launch the game.

The screen went black, and after a rudimentary cutscene, an ordinary little Geodude appeared at the foot of the mine.

The little Geodude's thick arms gripped a long-handled hammer, his eyes full of wisdom, glancing left and right from time to time.

Qi Shu glanced at the button prompts on the left and said, "Our mission is to control Geodude to climb the mine. If we reach the top, we win."

She pressed the handle, and the little Geodude on the screen swung its long-handled hammer, hooking onto the rocks on the ground to move forward.

"The user feedback was surprisingly good."

Qi Shu was surprised; she had thought this game would suffer from the common problem of most action games—stiff controls.

In actual use, it feels extremely smooth.

"At this level of difficulty, the author can't stop me."

Qi Shu's little fist stone, wielding a long-handled hammer, nimbly climbed up the protruding rock peak.

Unlike other games, this game has a smooth and fluid feel. The controls are incredibly smooth, and with just a short try, the little Geodude can quickly leap over several rocky peaks.

"Nice!"

As her punk-style trench coat swayed its wide sleeves, she gave a sweet wink to the camera.

"Crossing mountains and valleys is as easy as turning one's hand."

Even viewers who weren't fans of the looks were bombarded with a barrage of comments, with "awsl" and "kksk" instantly filling the screen.

Qi Shu was in a good mood.

She gripped the controller and shook it left and right, and the little Geodude on the screen seemed to be on steroids, climbing wildly up the mountain.

"Although Qishu's combat skills are average, his game skills are quite good."

"You seem like a stranger to me, host."

"Why not go pro and make a name for yourself, instead of being a small-time streamer here?"

The audience's teasing and sarcasm made Qi Shu's lips curl into a slight smile. She quickened her pace and said confidently, "After tonight, the author can fulfill his promise."

"Hilarious, does anyone actually want an electric fan?"

"The knife-cut noodles part."

"The Minister of Justice is in place."

However, the horse stumbled.

Due to frequent maneuvers, Geodude had an accident while climbing over a cliff protrusion.

"It was a mistake."

"Strange Tree whispered."

The long-handled hammer failed to hook onto the rock protrusion; the hammer tip sliced ​​through the air, and the small fist-shaped rock, suspended in mid-air, plummeted straight down under the influence of gravity.

"Does this game deduct health points if you make a mistake?"

"I didn't see a life bar either."

Qi Shu muttered to herself, and soon she realized that something was very wrong.

Three seconds passed, and Geodude was still falling. There was no invisible wall or the setting of falling and respawning at a save point.

It just kept going down, down, as if plunging into a bottomless abyss.

The terrified Qishu began to save herself. It had taken her a full ten minutes to climb up here; if she had fallen to the bottom of the mountain, she would have been doomed!

With a series of cracking sounds from the handle, the Geodude in mid-air frantically swung its long-handled hammer.

In its endless fall, Geodude grasps at a lifeline—a dead tree growing on the edge of a cliff.

The long-handled hammer got stuck in the tree branch, and a few grains of sand rolled off the rock face where the dead tree was rooted, falling into the bottomless abyss.

The downward momentum suddenly stopped, and the strange tree was still shaken.

This strange game is very well designed in terms of details.

"666, it can even be locked."

"This game is a bit shady; once you fall, all your previous efforts are wasted."

"One more time, that's exciting!"

"Someone come and get Miss Qishu a new pair of pants!"

Qi Shu gradually sat up straight, abandoning his previous laziness and casualness.

Her purplish-pink eyes seemed to be burning with flames.

"Sit up and play seriously."

"I am invincible, author, do as you please."

Chapter 5 begins with bold pronouncements, then falls silent in the mid-game.

"I fell right here last time, so be careful."

After five minutes of regrouping, Qishu once again arrived at the protruding rock.

She sat upright, staring intently at the little fist stone.

With precise control, Geodude, carrying its long-handled hammer, steadily flipped over the rock protrusion and headed towards the mountaintop.

"I won't be defeated by the same move twice."

Qishu grinned, revealing a mouthful of shark teeth.

She is like a challenger, engaging in an invisible confrontation with the game's creator.

"Oh no, Qishu is serious."

"A minute of silence for the author."

"Damn it, am I going to get pleasure from this again?"

As the little rock climbed higher, cracked rocks began to appear on the rock face.

The strange tree cautiously probed, knowing that these cracked stones would break after being used once.

She murmured, "This design tests the player's planning ability even more; it's important to know how to climb with the fewest stones."

After all, no one can guarantee that they won't make a mistake. Once you fall off a cliff, the difficulty of crossing the scree area again will increase exponentially.

"A design that catches the eye."

"The author has some talent."

"It's terrifying to watch."

Qi Shu's delicate eyebrows furrowed into an inverted V shape as she cautiously proceeded along the planned route.

The long-handled hammer of the small geode continuously shattered the rocks, and dense dust was scattered by the wind.

After three minutes of agonizing waiting, Qishu finally saw the next area.

The gravel area ends here.

"If you play it properly, this game is quite simple."

After turning over the last piece of rubble, the strange tree breathed a sigh of relief.

"The streamer has techniques."

"I understand the logic, but what's drawn on the rock face?"

"It looks like a snake."

Seeing the comments, Qi Shu, who had relaxed, noticed that the originally bare rock face had been covered with many patterns.

The obsidian stones, dark in color, are arranged in a faint pattern resembling a snake on the rock face.

"The author should hire a better art designer."

Qi Shu's commentary: "We don't need to worry about it, keep climbing... Woohoo!!!"

The moment Geodude climbs upwards, a gigantic Onix snakes out from the right side of the screen.

The grayish-white snake belly crushed the withered branches and rocks along the way, causing the mountain to tremble.

Amidst the roar, Qi Shu's screen camera shook violently, leaving her no time to react.

The Geodude was hit head-on by the charging Onix and flew backward like a lump of mud.

It has entered a falling state once again.

This sudden scene startled Qi Shu so much that he almost swore.

"No wonder they drew a snake on it."

"The author is quite kind."

"Pass down the word: the strange tree was crushed by a cart."

The little geode swung wildly as it plummeted downwards, falling over rubble and rocky protrusions, finally getting stuck in a familiar dead tree branch.

Qi Shu wanted to cry but had no tears.

Gritting her teeth, she forced a smile and said, "This author has a few clever touches in the story."

The diligent little fist stone wielded its long-handled hammer, retracing its steps.

Approaching the gravel area, thanks to the well-planned route, Qishu managed to get through after some effort.

The stone wall painted with black rock snakes reappeared on the screen once again.

In the silent mountains, Little Stone stood ready, carrying a long-handled hammer.

The cliff above was unremarkable, but Qi Shu knew that if she tried to cross this area, a large, unreasonable rock serpent would burst out of the ground.

"I want to see how the streamer gets there."

"The author's tactics are so ruthless, they've lost all sense of shame."
