Chapter 10: Young Master Beef Noodle Isn’t Convinced.
Ding!
【New Update!】
【The Hall of Resurrection is now open!】
【After players die, they will automatically revive in the Hall of Resurrection. Their cultivation will be reset to the First Stage of Body Forging Realm! There isn’t a need to create a new character.】
He Yiming seized this opportunity to announce the new building.
The players were all stunned, and when the news settled in they all began to rejoice and revel in excitement.
”Let’s go kill!”
“I’ll give it a try too. Maybe I’ll make a double kill?”
“That’s right. Even if we die, there’s still the Hall of Resurrection! There’s no more need for the troublesome character body reconstruction.”
—
Everybody was excited.
“Hahaha, I will too! I will too!” Beef Noodle jumped out and proclaimed excitedly. Following that, his eyes began searching and quickly stopped at a nearby War Hunchback Beast.
“Charge!” Beef Noodle directly rushed up to it and rolled over skillfully.
It just so happened to fall under the War Hunchback’s feet.
Yes, the next scene was simply graphically picturesque.
He died instantly!
The facts were clear and open.
A pro was a pro, not anyone could imitate their actions in hopes of getting similar rewards.
Soon, all the players followed suit and rolled on the ground with the eager ambition of side stepping and killing the beast in a cool way.
But in the end, only less than the time it took to burn half an incense stick had gone by and everyone found themselves gathered in the Hall of Resurrection staring at each other in dismay.
There was a strange duet going on between everybody’s body and mind at the moment.
Brain: Let’s do it!
Body: No!! Don’t wanna. Boo hoo~
At this moment, the players all felt a thousand alpacas running in their hearts[mfn]a euphemism for the curse word ‘mother f**ker’[/mfn].
“This is crazy, wasn’t this a good cultivation game? Where was the begging devil? Where was the path for immortal ascension? Why do I feel like this is some sort of Soul game?”
“d.a.m.n it! We’ll have to kick the War Hunchback Beast more than one hundred times for as long as an hour, that too without having the luxury of making a single mistake. How the h.e.l.l can this be done!”
“The thing that pains the most is that a pro is teaching me how to defeat the beast and yet, I am still way too incompetent to face the beast.”
—
The players were beaten up badly, with nothing that they could do to overcome the situation.
What to do now?
They could only gather around in the square, chop up the beast killed by the Boss (Indomitable Bear) and continue to eat hot-pot around the bonfire.
This game was too cruel. Only hot pot could heal their broken hearts.
“It seems that only Indomitable Bear is strong enough to kill the War Hunchback Beast. No one else could handle the task,” He Yiming mused to himself.
There were still two and a half days left before the mission ended. He (He Yiming) could probably defeat ten or so of them, and Indomitable Bear could only take care of so much by himself.
“I don’t have enough time! It’s simply too much!” He Yiming shook his head and didn’t wallow over it anymore.
As a result, He Yiming chose another direction to descend the mountain. He avoided the players and began to hunt the War Hunchback Beast by himself.
At this moment, other than Indomitable Bear, who was still fighting a Hunchback Beast alone, most players had given up.
However, there were some among the players who were unremitting in their efforts. Like Beef Noodle for example.
—
“I’m not convinced!” Beef Noodles gnashed his teeth, unwilling to give up just like that.
As an experienced player, he had cleared countless games and had won so many trophies!
Even the most difficult Soul 7 in the Soul Series, Beef Noodles had managed to clear it with all sorts of shameless methods and tactics!
He had even conquered the most difficult game of the Soul series: Soul 7. Albeit, using underhanded and shameless methods. Still, he did clear it and was considered a win nonetheless.
And now, he couldn’t even defeat a monster in the novice village? How could he accept it?
It should be ‘cause I’m not proficient enough! Let’s fight it a few more times! Beef Noodle thought to himself and hurriedly ran down the mountain.
Two hours later…
“h.e.l.l!” Standing in front of the Hall of Resurrection, Beef Noodle began contemplating about life and nearly had an existential crisis.
Why?
Why is this game so difficult?
I clearly know how to play!
He had practiced rolling many times and had gotten extremely skilled at it. But why was it that when it came to the showdown, he always died?
“War Hunchback Beast, you have forced me to do this!!!” Beef Noodle took a deep breath and his temperament changed.
Since I cannot fight you head-on…
Don’t blame me for playing dirty!
Beef Noodle turned around and ran to the sect, frantically searching for something. Anything.
“Hmm? This… Is this a pill refinement cauldron?” Soon, Beef Noodle found himself in a collapsed ruin and had found a damaged cauldron.
There were many black lumps inside the cauldron.
“Let’s not worry, I’ll just stuff it in my pocket first!” He grabbed a large chunk from the pile of black lumps and stuffed them into his pocket before continuing his search.
“Yes!” Soon, Beef Noodle arrived at a small wooden storehouse with some old ma.n.u.scripts and shovels, and other miscellanea.
“Heh, what about the War Hunchback Beast? Aren’t you just a beast in the end? I’ll dig up a huge pit and when you fall in, won’t you just be another meat on the chopping board?” Beef Noodle chuckled.
Then, he ran down the mountain and found a suitable location, and started digging.
It had to be said that the characters in this game were still very strong. Beef Noodle wasn’t fatigued even after half an hour of continuous digging.
If it were in reality, he could at most dig a few times with the body const.i.tution he had in real life.
“Alright!” Soon, Beef Noodle praised his work with satisfaction.
A five by two-meter wide pit could be seen in front of Beef Noodle. With its depth being five-meters deep. It was just enough for the War Hunchback Beast to strain out its head but wasn’t shallow enough that it could jump out of the pit.
After finding some gra.s.s to cover it, Beef Noodle quickly ran out to look for a War Hunchback Beast.
“Little beast, come hit me! If you catch up to me, I’ll let you go!” Beef Noodle’s face pointed at a War Hunchback Beast as he shouted in a taunting tone.
Beef Noodle’s expressions and actions were truly too much and had successfully incited it. The beast’s eyes turned red as it crazily charged at him.
Beef Noodle turned around and ran away. He arrived in front of the trap.
With a clean leap, he stood at the other end of the trap.
“Come on, come on…” Beef Noodle waved his hands and started to taunt it even more.
As the War Hunchback Beast was chasing after him, it fell into the trap without incident.
Bang!
A dull thud could be heard.
The huge body of the War Hunchback Beast fell directly into the pit. Because the pit was very narrow, it made the trapped War Hunchback Beast successfully immobile.
“Haha haha! Are you stupid?” Beef Noodles laughed loudly.
“What happened? Want to bite me? Jump out and bite me then.
“Sigh, I’ll just stand here, come and beat me up!
“Look, this is my PP[mfn]perfect plan[/mfn]! Do you even have the ability to bite?”
—
At this moment, the War Hunchback Beast suddenly stuck out its tongue and wrapped itself around Beef Noodle’s foot.
“b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l! Why is this beast’s tongue so long?” Beef Noodle was stunned. Before he could react, he was pulled by the beast’s tongue and dragged to the front.
“It’s over!” His vision turned dark as the War Hunchback Beast opened its mouth and swallowed him whole.
When he opened his eyes again, he was in the Hall of Resurrection.
“F*ck! Dammit!” Beef Noodle spat.
His plan failed.
Without any time to think about it, Beef Noodle hurried to the trap.
“d.a.m.n it! I wonder if that War Hunchback Beast can crawl out of the pit and run away! Sigh…” Halfway through his soliloquy, Beef Noodle’s expression changed. He was stunned.
Ding!
