Zhang Xing Yu felt that bringing this girl in as one of the first batch of players was also a mistake.
The brown-haired girl with twin low pigtails looked at this foggy world with confusion.
“A-le-le————I don’t think I accepted any invitation from a strange uncle to come here. What is this, a TV show? A movie?…………Hmm, doesn’t seem like it. But, the fee for 【MoMo Moon】 to appear isn’t cheap~~ Can you afford it?” At first, the brown-haired girl with twin low pigtails used a soft, cutesy voice, acting all cute as she said this. But, after a while, when no one responded——
“Hey————Which bastard is playing this prank, come out here, or I’ll have my fans tear you to shreds, come out here!——” The girl’s temper flared up.
After unleashing a round of fury at the air, the girl, perhaps realizing how silly she looked, finally obediently started setting up her character, and followed the system’s instructions to arrive at the world of 【Monster Hunter】.
Then, the girl, who had taken the name 【MoMo Moon】, quickly experienced 5 consecutive defeats!
Her athletic ability was poor, her gaming skills were poor…
Zhang Xing Yu felt that if she didn’t rely on outside help, like someone providing her with game guides, MoMo Moon would probably need a lot more time to clear the initial stages.
“How was tonight’s harvest?” Zhang Xing Yu asked the Nightmare Lord.
“Same as last time, pathetically poor.” The Nightmare Lord said with contempt.
“Well…even poor has a number, at least it’s more than the first day, right? I know that according to your plan, we can harvest a lot of energy in these few days, but, at least my plan is worth trying, right?”
“Hmph——” The Nightmare Lord snorted, but still told Zhang Xing Yu the amount of energy they harvested.
A total of 6 players entered the Nightmare World today. Excluding Odilia, they gained a total of 300 Nightmare Power, most of which came from death.
Odilia alone contributed 150 energy, half of the others combined!
From this data, one can tell why the Nightmare Lord was dissatisfied. Due to the significant reduction in the sensation of pain, the fear of death was not strong. An ordinary person dying once would only gain about 10 points.
Based on the Nightmare Lord’s past experience, under extreme pain and fear, death could gain about 1000 Nightmare Power. If it was a girl with spiritual energy like Odilia, it could even exceed 10,000!
And now, 5 players, a total of nearly 20 deaths, yet only 300 were gained!
Comparison makes a difference. Compared to the power the Nightmare Lord could obtain before, it was indeed too little!
“Odilia’s death gained three times the power of ordinary players. But this time, Odilia only died once, but gained 150 energy. This extra 120 energy was obtained from Odilia experiencing things, including excitement, joy, shock, fear, anticipation, and other emotions. The overall value completely exceeded that of death, showing that this energy acquisition is also very promising. As long as we can create a dream game world that humans like, once the number of players is large enough, even without relying on death, we can obtain unimaginable Nightmare Power!” Zhang Xing Yu explained.
There was also something he didn’t say. If they followed the Nightmare Lord’s method, using death in a state of extreme limit to obtain Nightmare Power, then humans with fragile mental strength would be at great risk of real death, not death in the Nightmare World, but also death in the real world!
The Nightmare World is a very special world. It’s not simply a “dream world”. It has a certain relationship with the spirit and soul. Dying too much will damage the soul, especially death in extreme states, one time could cause irreversible damage!
“Tonight’s total harvest was 450 energy. We can bring in a few more tomorrow, but we can’t bring in too many at once. After all, this Nightmare World is still unstable… Also, we need to observe the impact of death on ordinary people.” Zhang Xing Yu muttered. Because yesterday, Odilia died three times without any negative effects, instead, she was alive and well, full of energy. So, Zhang Xing Yu adjusted the death limit to 5 times today.
Although the Nightmare Lord was already very familiar with creating Nightmare Worlds, because his strength has now declined significantly, plus Zhang Xing Yu wants to create a game world that is very different from the Nightmare Lord’s original creations. Therefore, this current “Monster Hunter” world is actually an incomplete world—— currently, the entire world only has the Ancient Tree Forest as a map. The endless ocean that seems to stretch as far as the eye can see in the prologue is actually part of the Ancient Tree Forest, and it has a “boundary”.
Creating a dream game world is also a huge challenge for the Nightmare Lord. For example, the game system Zhang Xing Yu wants includes the “player system interface”, “operation options”, etc., which involve a lot of “core” content of the Nightmare World, belonging to the bottom rule sequence. This requires the Nightmare Lord to rebuild the entire Nightmare World.
For the Nightmare Lord, the dream game world Zhang Xing Yu wanted to create was a completely new attempt and challenge, the difficulty was imaginable.
If possible, Zhang Xing Yu also wanted to keep it simple. However, for a virtual game world, the “game system” is essential.
So, in the end, the Nightmare Lord worked his tail off, and still managed to create a very rudimentary “system”. Even when Odilia played it for the first time, she didn’t even have a stamina bar, skill system, etc. added!
No wonder Odilia had to scold the shitty game producer, anyone who sees this 0.09 version of the game would probably want to curse!
