Have you ever made games? Then you should write about games!

Looking at the accessories that had been opened from the treasure chest, and then at the almost frantic barrage of comments, Su Tao couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Is this accessory very valuable? What are its effects?"

Su Tao hovered the mouse over the accessory, and the accessory's name and effect immediately appeared on the right side of the screen.

"The shoelace tie is supposed to increase the player's movement speed by 5%, but it doesn't seem like a big increase."

Using percentages, especially when the numbers are small, makes it difficult for players to grasp the significance of attribute improvements due to a lack of clear comparisons.

In particular, Su Tao's understanding of the game was not deep enough, and she was unaware of the difficulty of improving attributes within the game.

However, some veteran players in the comments section used basic probability theory and their own experiences to give Su Tao a preliminary understanding of how rare this item was.

"No wonder old people always say that fools have good luck. I played all afternoon, opened dozens of treasure chests, and didn't get a single accessory. But Su Su, you're telling me you got the shoelace tie in less than 5 minutes?"

"Based on the official drop rates and the speculations of some bloggers after their actual experience, the drop rate of shoelace ends in ordinary treasure chests is only between 0.5% and 1%."

"Sister Su, just tell the truth, did you secretly sign a contract with Xingka?"

"On the other side of Bilibili, a blogger opened over two hundred treasure chests and still couldn't get a single accessory. Is this a case of 'a fool defeating a pro'?"

"According to the official leaks, the shoelace tips seem to be a necessary synthetic material for most high-end footwear accessories in the future. Su Su, you'd better keep them safe."

"Hehe, I suddenly remembered that Sister Su Su is playing on a hardcore difficulty world. If I die, I won't be able to find the shoelace ends in my inventory."

Seeing the envious and jealous comments on the screen, Su Tao, even though she still didn't quite understand the importance of shoelace tie ends, prepared to take good care of them.

However, Su Tao suddenly realized what was happening when she saw the last comment.

She was playing on a hardcore difficulty world where characters only have one life, and once they die, they have to start over, and naturally, their items cannot be retained.

So, Su Tao carefully walked towards the matchbox while calling for help from the live chat.

"Brothers, I'm starting to regret it. Is there anyone kind enough to teach me how to change the world's difficulty?"

Faced with Su Tao's question, not a single one of the tens of thousands of viewers in the live stream was willing to answer; instead, they all sent out gloating comments.

"Wasn't Sister Susu very ambitious at the beginning? Why did she wilt as soon as she saw a shoelace tie?"

"Whenever Su Su faces a new game, she's always like this: she makes grand pronouncements in the early stages, but becomes timid and hesitant later on."

"Bad news: Sister Su Su released a shoelace headband; good news: The world created by Sister Su Su is a hardcore mode."

"Sister Su, be careful! The monsters in Hardcore Mode not only deal high damage and have a lot of health, but more importantly, they spawn very frequently!"

As soon as Su Tao saw this comment, several dark green slimes appeared at the edge of the computer screen and hopped closer to her.

"Dude, are you a prophet?"

After making a comment, Su Tao quickly focused all her attention on the game, carefully maneuvering her character to deal with the slimes that appeared in front of her.

Having learned her lesson, she will be more careful in her actions even without reminders from others.

However, the character's equipment is too poor, with low defense and health, and only a wooden sword in hand, so the increase in damage is only slightly better than nothing.

Therefore, after dealing with the few slimes that suddenly spawned, Su Tao only had a mere 10 HP left.

If she gets hit by the slime just once more, she can be done for.

"Thankfully, I found two weak healing potions in the treasure chest just now."

Based on the item description, Su Tao used a bottle of healing potion directly.

Soon, Su Tao's health returned to 60 points, which was barely considered a safe level.

However, Su Tao will not feel safe until her health is fully restored.

Unfortunately, weak healing potions develop a one-minute tolerance, during which time they cannot be used.

Therefore, Su Tao could only continue to carefully advance towards the matchbox she had built, with only 60 health points remaining.

Viewers in the live stream were eager to see Su Tao's reaction after losing her shoelaces.

However, upon seeing Su Tao's focused expression, he seemed to be infected by it, involuntarily holding his breath, and a little sweat appeared on his palms.

Sometimes, watching others play games can be more nerve-wracking than playing them yourself.

Fortunately, no more troublesome slimes spawned for the rest of the journey.

After the drug resistance wore off, Su Tao immediately used her second and final bottle of weak healing potion, bringing her health back to a safe 100 points.

Before long, the figure of the matchbox appeared on the left side of the screen.

However, before Su Tao could even show a relieved smile, several slimes appeared on top of the matchbox and kept moving closer to her.

"No way, not again!"

Seeing the dense swarm of slimes appearing on the left side of the screen, numbering definitely more than ten, Su Tao felt a wave of despair.

If she chose to fight head-on, she definitely wouldn't be able to beat these slimes.

Therefore, Su Tao quickly opened her backpack, hoping to see if the remaining wood could be used to build another shelter.

The answer, however, only made Su Tao more desperate.

The last bit of wood she had used to make torches was not enough to build another shelter.

However, the slime was already only two or three squares away from her and was still getting closer, so Su Tao had no time to cut down the tree.

Therefore, Su Tao could only try to clear out the monsters that spawned ahead.

After killing the first slime, she still had 90 health points left.

When she killed the second slime, she had only 70 health points left.

When she killed the third slime, she only had 30 health points left.

Even the viewers in the live chat were astonished by the slime's high damage output.

"The monsters in hardcore mode are ridiculously powerful; their damage, defense, and health are all too high."

"When I first started playing, I presumptuously tried to choose the hardcore difficulty, but thankfully my rational mind told me I didn't want to."

"Most of the top-tier streamers I follow don't dare to play hardcore mode, which just goes to show how authoritative Sister Su is."

"Oh no, oh no, the shoelace tie that Sister Su just got is about to be lost."

Seeing that the comments section had started to make sarcastic remarks, Su Tao felt both anxious and angry.

She didn't want to lose the shoelace tie she'd "finally" gotten before she even had a chance to enjoy it.

Seeing the slime approaching her step by step, Su Tao suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

As Su Tao retreated, she switched the wooden sword in her character's hand to a wooden pickaxe.

Then, before the slime could get close, Su Tao quickly dug down three blocks and jumped down, using the last piece of wood in her backpack to block the hole above.

Although the slimes were jumping around on Su Tao's head, as monsters without the ability to destroy objects, they were helpless against Su Tao hiding underground.

The viewers in the live stream also started wailing and howling.

"Who told Sister Su about the 'dig three, fill one' trick in the first place? Step forward now, I promise I won't kill you!"

"Damn it, could Sister Su really have managed to save both her jewelry and her life by digging three holes and filling one?"

"Are these slimes idiots? Why don't they just destroy the wood and kill Sister Susu?!"

"Sister Su, I was just joking when I said I hoped you would survive. Can you hurry up and get out of here? Otherwise, my roommate won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Some monster needs to come and save us! Don't let Sister Su really bring her shoelaces back with her hair tied up!"

However, Su Tao did not let these comments have their way. Using the wooden pickaxe in her hand, she dug a tunnel directly from the ground and successfully returned to the safety of Matchbox.

While letting out a sigh of relief, Su Tao raised an eyebrow and smirked, mocking the incompetent viewers in the live stream.

Behind the screen, Chen Dong watched as Su Tao used the method of digging three holes and filling one hole to dig an underground tunnel to avoid the wandering slimes, and couldn't help but smile.

He knew very well that after making Terraria, he would most likely not make the other two games from the Big Three.

Therefore, Chen Dong had no choice but to incorporate some interesting gameplay elements from the other two games into Terraria.

Like the method Su Tao just used: dig three and fill one.
