To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 474: 280

As everyone knows, the most enjoyable time to play a grinder game is when it reaches the max level.

After reaching max level, players no longer need to level up, and their pursuit of various novel strategies and tactics becomes mainstream, with the benchmark of this pursuit lying in the equipment.

If the improvement is only in numerical values, the game can easily fall into a vicious cycle of number inflation, eventually becoming dull and forgotten.

Some games can rely on their content to engage players, or keep hosting various seasons to lengthen the playtime, but in the end, they can’t keep up with the growing demands of players, and the outcome is still extinction.

However, “Princess Dungeon 2” is a bit special.

“Princess Dungeon 1” was filled with a large number of instances and various princesses, while “Princess Dungeon 2” added even more instances and mechanics. The high-quality instances available every day due to the kidnapped nobles allowed players to farm Blood Moon Equipment at night, ensuring there was always something to do throughout the day.

Moreover, the game didn’t have an energy limit, the drop of instance equipment was random, and though higher-tier instances had better equipment, lower-tier ones also had many unique features.

The randomly generated magic effects and enchantments filled the equipment crafting process with randomness and surprises, intensifying the players’ desire for equipment.

Now, an even bigger goal hung before the players, spurring them to keep on grinding.

Finally, a month after the servers opened, the players achieved a milestone breakthrough.

The eighth-tier instance had been conquered!

The formidable boss was ultimately defeated by a team of five players after an intense battle that lasted an entire hour.

The whole process was a textbook example of pioneering an instance, with every second filled with highlights due to the clever use of mechanisms and weapons. Some even took the entire battle apart to analyze it, spending three hours explaining everything.

At the beginning of this battle, Wang Xiaoying had started recording her show, capturing the team’s previous exploits on film, and editing their battle process until it looked like a blockbuster movie.

Among the five, one was witty, another spread sweet nothings, while one seemed dim but always managed to handle the chaos, and one had a gentle smile but was ruthless and decisive in action.

The thrilling battle resulted in an effect resembling a blockbuster, stirring up waves on the internet once again.

Anyone who saw the video would think it was some blockbuster movie, and those in the know were silently impressed, thinking that such content definitely didn’t come cheap.

And upon realizing it was a game, they were even more amazed, lamenting why they hadn’t discovered this game earlier.

However, in “Princess Dungeon 2,” the players who beat the eighth-tier instance didn’t have time to hesitate and immediately set their sights on conquering the ninth-tier instance.

Right after the great feat of clearing the eighth-tier instance, Xiemen Waidao’s hands were still trembling slightly.

He had played many games, but none as shocking as that moment.

The realistic effects provided by the gaming capsule were brilliantly showcased, making him feel as if he had really lived through a great battle and, in the final moments, took down the fearsome Demon King with his buddies.

Closing his eyes, he reminisced while on the move, feeling that the memory of that victory would be savored for a long time.

If Xiemen Waidao was caught up in the afterglow of victory, Liuzi was no exception.

The intense fight’s exhilaration provided him with immense satisfaction; he guessed that only defeating the Demon God could offer a greater thrill.

Filled with stirring emotions, they charged towards the only ninth-tier instance here.

And at the entrance of the instance, the old mage and the priest had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the five players rushing towards them, the old mage commented with a chuckle, “I never thought you’d actually make it.”

“Yes,” the priest agreed with a smile. “I’ve been here for quite a while, but I never expected your strength to grow so quickly…”

“Skip,” Xiemen Waidao interrupted.

“What?”

“I said skip the dialogue. It seems like you’re going to talk for a long time. Can you save the conversation for later when I have time to listen?”

Mukuai 1234 glanced at Xiemen Waidao with dissatisfaction: “I assure you, you’ll never listen later.”

Thrown off by the interruption, the old mage and priest forgot what they wanted to say, so they could only smile wryly, stepped aside, and revealed the door behind them.

“You can go now, but we’ve never been to the ninth-tier instance, so we have no idea what’s behind the door. I’ve heard the world’s advice, though, that only those unafraid of losing everything have a chance to defeat the Demon God. Please be careful, we hope you can return alive.”

“Don’t worry, we will,” they responded.

Xiemen Waidao, the first to step through the dungeon’s doors, discovered that the interior was actually a starry sky.

Though only separated from the outside by a single door, the world inside was entirely different.

They stood amidst the vast, boundless cosmos, but the surrounding stars were dim and lightless.

Most of the stars had been extinguished, and the few that remained were struggling to survive.

The grandeur of the world and the insignificance of the individual starkly contrasted at this moment, and standing before them was the vast and unbelievable Demon God.

The being was merely looking at the planet in front of it, where all things served as its prey. The newly awakened Demon God was not yet fully conscious, but its eyes were full of greed.
