Chapter 39 Tonight, unlock the second map!

After the global game development competition awards ceremony, the male protagonist, Dong Cheng, declined numerous invitations and social engagements, and did not stay in the British Empire for too long.

The stated reason given was that Dong Cheng was unwell and needed to return to China to recuperate as soon as possible.

The real reason is quite ordinary, even somewhat laughable: Dong Cheng simply couldn't get used to white food and the completely modified Chinese cuisine.

Inside the arrival hall of Shanghai Caiqiao Airport, many media reporters who had received the news were already prepared and waiting, hoping to get a chance to interview Dong Cheng.

However, reporters from some smaller media outlets could only stand at the back of the crowd.

Without exception, the media reporters standing at the forefront of the crowd all had unspeakable backgrounds behind them.

Several hours later.

Upon hearing the airport announcement that Dong Cheng's plane had arrived at Caiqiao Airport, the reporters in the arrival hall immediately became alert, quickly reviewing their prepared interview questions in their minds.

"They're here!"

Someone shouted, causing a commotion in the crowd, but it subsided after being alerted by airport security.

Soon, Dong Cheng and his secretary appeared at the exit.

"Mr. Dong, I'm a reporter from Xinlong.com. Your game has won China's first award in a global game development competition. What are your thoughts on this?"

"As I said, Terraria is just the beginning, not the end. Please look forward to the next game!"

At this point, Chen Dong skillfully broke off a section.

Actually, Chen Dong could have mentioned the next game he's preparing to develop at the end of the chapter.

However, firstly, he hadn't decided which game he would choose next.

Secondly, Terraria has only just begun development, so there's no need to finalize the next game so quickly.

After completing today's update tasks, Chen Dong naturally opened the Cat's Claw live streaming platform.

After finishing his novel each night, watching the streamer Su Tao play games seems to have become a relaxing habit for Chen Dong.

Occasionally sending gifts to streamers can create a topic that is enjoyable for both the official team and the players.

"Tonight, shall we unlock the second map?"

Upon seeing the title of the live stream, Chen Dong couldn't help but smile.

If it's the original "Vampire Survivors", Su Tao, who leveled up to 50 last night, is already high enough to unlock the next map.

However, Chen Dong had his employees modify the conditions for unlocking maps. They now had to stay on a map for 30 minutes before they could unlock the next map.

Because of this small change, players must survive the 25-minute boss wave in order to unlock the map, which slightly increases the difficulty of the game.

In response, Chen Dong stated:

I just want every player to be able to experience most of the content and to make the most of every dollar. Is that wrong?

Chen Dong originally thought that tonight would be another sleepless night for Su Tao.

But upon entering the live stream, I saw a serious face, completely absorbed in the battle.

Looking up at the time displayed at the top of the game screen, 24 minutes had passed, and the character's level was 48.

"Wow, the streamer's gotten so much braver in just one day?"

After browsing through the comments in the live stream, Chen Dong realized that Su Tao had encountered an excellent start.

First, the magic wand was upgraded several times in a row, which made Su Tao's survival pressure in the early stages completely effortless.

Later on, with each upgrade, a divine whip would appear, causing the character's combat power to increase dramatically.

In addition, there have been continuous buffs that increase character damage and defense.

"Could it be that the streamer will actually unlock the second map tonight?"

Seeing that Su Tao still had full health, Chen Dong couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.

When Chen Dong saw that Su Tao had reached level 49, she actually got the Laurel, a treasure that is extremely useful for novice players. He was now confident that Su Tao had an 80% chance of lasting 30 minutes.

"Nice! Guys, tell me, isn't the streamer's gameplay incredibly skillful!"

Upon seeing Laurel appear on the list, Su Tao made her choice without hesitation, a smug smile appearing on her face.

"In the early days, you questioned why the streamer didn't pick up the boxes, now you understand, right?"

Su Tao continued to explain while getting engrossed in the game.

We've reached the late stages of the game. In one minute, the boss, Big Blue Flower, will appear.

Therefore, after saying a few words, Su Tao remained silent, and the smile on her face had long since disappeared.

Switch to battle mode in a second!

The chat room comments were much more lively.

"Those who criticize the streamer, speak up!!!"

"No, streamer, if you keep going like this, you'll beat the game!"

"I was following an abstract streamer, when did he become a gaming pro?"

"Oh no, even the streamer is unlocking the second map, while I'm still stuck on the first one. Is this really the SuSu I know?"

Chen Dong couldn't stop laughing as he watched the hilarious comments in the live stream chat.

The popularity of Su Tao's live stream is increasing day by day, and these viewers who love to create fun content definitely play an indispensable role in this.

However, the streamer Su Tao had no time to pay attention to the comments.

Because the boss of the first map, a giant blue flower with extremely high HP, has appeared.

In addition, there are smaller blue flowers that come from all directions of the screen, forming an eight-sided sandwich effect.

Even though the treasures on Su Tao's character were almost all at max level, and there were still many damage boosts, the monsters were still slowly eroding the vacuum zone around the character.

Su Tao could only control her character to make subtle movements, gradually moving away from the BOSS.

Fortunately, before fighting the BOSS, Su Tao obtained the treasure Laurel, which not only provides a shield but also grants the character a brief period of invincibility after a cooldown period.

Therefore, Su Tao seemed to be in a relatively relaxed state, and her actions were not too flustered.

A little over a minute later, when the character's health was down to half, the BOSS finally fell at the character's feet.

Su Tao finally revealed a victor's smile.

The live stream chat went absolutely wild, with question marks flooding the screen.

Upon seeing this, Chen Dong couldn't help but laugh.

The only thing that could unite the abstract audience in a live stream is probably some of the outrageous actions of the streamer Su Tao.

"Host, have you changed your persona?"

"The one cosplaying the streamer, you've gone out of character, you know that?"

"We strongly urge the streamer to do a dual-camera livestream and challenge the first map again!"

"I'm still stuck on the first map, so I can't give the streamer any more pointers now."

After defeating the boss, the smaller monsters are no longer a threat.

To avoid failing at the last minute due to a small mistake, Su Tao continued to carefully control her character, avoiding the approaching monsters.

However, just as the game time reached 30 minutes, before Su Tao could cheer and celebrate, a red Grim Reaper suddenly jumped out from off-screen and killed her character with a few blows before she could react.

"Wait? I still had half my health left, and I got instantly killed?"

Su Tao stared at the settlement screen in shock.

Fortunately, some viewers in the chat saw that other streamers had also been killed by this red Grim Reaper at the 30-minute mark, and quickly offered an explanation.

"So it was a plot device, then it's alright."

Su Tao patted her not-so-wealthy chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

She had finally managed to clear the first level, and she didn't want all her efforts to be in vain.

Outside the live broadcast room, in a residential community in Shanghai.

"Honey, go to sleep. You have to go to work tomorrow."

"understood."

Exiting the vampire survivor guides he was browsing, Zhao Qin hugged his wife, who was still soothing the baby, and turned back to the bedroom.

However, lying on the soft bed, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

"Should we follow the trend of other game developers and make a roguelike game similar to Vampire Survivor?"

Or... should we go all in on the second plan, which carries greater risk but also offers greater potential rewards?

The two questions alternated in his mind, making him increasingly distracted.
