"Guys, I'm a complete newbie. What difficulty level should I choose for my first time playing?"

Looking at the world creation interface, Su Tao was momentarily at a loss, seeing the four difficulty options: Travel, Classic, Medium, and Hardcore.

Fortunately, the comments section quickly provided an answer.

"Travel can only correspond to the Travel World, streamers shouldn't choose that. As for the three difficulty levels—Classic, Medium, and Hardcore—a real man should play the Hardcore mode!"

Su Tao thought the first half of the comment made sense, but when she saw the second half, she immediately realized that there were bad people in the live stream who wanted to trick her into playing the hardcore mode.

However, seeing a bunch of comments on the screen wanting to see her play in hardcore mode, Su Tao hesitated for a moment before creating a hardcore mode world anyway.

As a novice player, on her first time playing, she would definitely choose to create a world with a lower difficulty level.

However, as a streamer, in order to create a better streaming experience, she had to choose the highest difficulty level as soon as she started playing Terraria.

"Sister Su is really tough; she actually created a hardcore mode world!"

"I hope Sister Su won't end the broadcast in disgrace in ten minutes."

"Hardcore mode only gives you one life. Dying means starting all over again. Sister Su doesn't want to finish the game in one life, does she?"

"What's the difference between Sister Su choosing the hardcore difficulty and Xiao Chunan encountering a top-tier succubus right after leaving the beginner village?"

"The betting's open! The betting's open! I bet five cents that Sister Su won't last ten minutes!"

"I bet Sister Su won't last three minutes!"

"Two minutes!"

Seeing that the comments section was filled with speculation about whether she could last even a minute, Su Tao couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

What a joke! Even if I'm a complete novice and have never played a sandbox survival game before, with my past gaming experience, I shouldn't be able to last less than a minute.

soon.

Once the game finished loading, Su Tao successfully entered a world of blue skies and white clouds, and in front of her was a stranger.

"What does this person do?"

Su Tao turned to look at the comments section and, sure enough, found the answer she was looking for.

"Sister Su, this is a beginner's guide. You can learn some basic knowledge from him, and you can also exchange items with him later. So you can build a house to lock him up."

Seeing that the comments in the live chat were very reasonable, Su Tao quickly moved her character closer to the NPC.

Sure enough, a chat box popped up.

However, the tutorial only showed Su Tao some simple operation buttons and how to destroy, build, and place items, and didn't say anything more.

"Is the tutorial really that simple?"

That's way too brief.

Su Tao was somewhat surprised to see that the tutorial for Terraria was so short and weak, and made a gesture that would be considered insulting to men in South Korea.

It's important to understand that most games on the market, in order to allow players to get started quickly and avoid players quitting and requesting refunds due to excessive difficulty, extend the tutorial indefinitely, making players feel like veterans the moment they finish the tutorial.

However, what's the difference between Terraria's tutorial and telling players that the left mouse button is for attacking and the letter keys are for moving, and then letting players challenge the final boss?

Seeing that the tutorial NPC was about to step off the computer screen, Su Tao didn't dwell on her confusion any longer. Instead, she quickly went to chop down trees, following the tutorial instructions.

"To be honest, the sound of chopping down a tree is quite relaxing."

With the three-piece set she started with, Su Tao quickly chopped down three nearby trees and used the fallen wood to make a simple matchbox.

"Huh? Why isn't this guide NPC coming in?"

Seeing the guide NPC wandering outside the house, refusing to enter the matchbox she had built, Su Tao's voice was full of doubt.

After opening the inventory and fiddling around for a while, I finally spotted a house-shaped button on the right side of the screen.

After clicking, Su Tao placed the mouse on the red question mark.

"What the heck? They need to build a wall on the back too?"

Didn't StarCard advertise Terraria as a 2D game?

Seeing Su Tao's confused and shocked expression, many viewers behind the screen who had initially encountered the same problem as Su Tao couldn't help but laugh.

"Sister Su, I felt the same way as you at first, it was weird."

"Sister Su is right, 2D games should only have four directions: up, down, left, and right. Why do star cards have an extra back?"

"I think Terraria shouldn't be considered a pure 2D game, but rather a 2.5D game."

"I agree with your point of view, upstairs."

Seeing that many people on the screen were just as surprised as she was at first, Su Tao felt a little relieved.

Following the instructions, after building the back wall, Su Tao placed the portrait of the person on the back wall.

In this way, this simple and ugly matchbox-shaped room became the house reserved for the guide NPC.

"Alright, let the guide NPC stay in the house obediently, I'm going out to explore!"

Full of fighting spirit, Su Tao stepped out of the matchbox, casually pointed her finger, and chose to walk in the direction to the right.

Every now and then, a green slime would appear, bouncing and bumping into the character controlled by Su Tao.

At first, Su Tao seemed unconvinced.

It's just a tiny slime, one of the weakest monsters in other games. What threat could it possibly pose to me?

However, Su Tao was quickly proven wrong by the slime.

"Huh? Huh! How come the slimes in this game are so powerful? I only touched them lightly and I lost a lot of health?!"

The red heart in the upper right corner represents the character's health; one heart represents 20 health points.

The character controlled by Su Tao only has five red hearts, one of which is missing half of its original size.

This means that the slime's attack just now caused Su Tao's character to lose 10 health points.

If it weren't for the wooden sword in the starting three-piece set, which helped Su Tao slightly increase her combat power, she would probably have lost more than 10 health points if she wanted to defeat a slime.

"It seems that we have to be very careful when dealing with every monster in Terraria."

Wiping away non-existent cold sweat from her forehead, Su Tao followed the prompts in the live chat, picked up the gel dropped by the dead slime on the ground, and used it along with the wood that had fallen from the tree she had just chopped down to make a number of torches.

Perhaps Su Tao was lucky, or perhaps she encountered a good world seed.

She had only walked for a minute after leaving the matchbox when she came across a dark mine.

Not far from the mine entrance, Su Tao spotted a treasure chest whose color almost blended into the mine's background and was hidden in the shadows.

Su Tao quickly moved her character forward, carefully cleared away the slimes guarding the treasure chest, and then opened the chest with great anticipation.

After seeing the items inside the treasure chest, the live chat exploded with excitement.

"Holy crap, is the streamer on?"

"The streamer should turn it off, it's boring."

"Could this be the legendary streamer privilege?"
