Chapter 405: The New Year Party
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
The ending was sad, but it was what they had expected.
Compared to Dante who was more like a human, Vergil was a cold and proud demon, and the demon world was his home.
It was not only a story about the hero; it was also Vergil’s elegy.
Compared with Shu Mountain, this ending didn’t show any horrifying power such as Old Demon Youquan who covered the sky; that style and power better fitted with cultivators.
However, the power showed in Shu Mountain belonged to cultivators.
For most warriors, the battle styles showed in Devil May Cry 3 was probably more fitting for them.
“The concentrated mind can pierce boulders.”
Yes, concentration was the key. Although they didn’t have endless demonic energy to overpower their opponents, they could highly concentrate their minds and energy to deal great damage. For example, Vergil’s katana could cut through the Hell Vanguard and even chop the head of Beowulf, a powerful demon boss, into four pieces.
Under high-concentration, the strikes and slashes would be endowed with great power as soon as it was used. The damage alone wasn’t inferior to the spiritual artifacts and spells of the cultivators.
Besides, this game had created its own mature combat system. For example, there was the great ability of dodging and teleportation under the Trickster Style and the fancy moves under the Swordmaster Style and Gunslinger Style. The ranged attacks included things such as guns and Summoned Swords, and the Royalguard Style offered great defense such as perfect block and golden shield.
Including the Quicksilver Style and Doppelganger Style, this system was almost flawless except that it lacked flight abilities.
Of course, the two main characters could fly when activating their Demon Triggers. Since the players all possessed their own flight techniques, this tiny flaw was nothing in their eyes.
Then, Fang Qi tried the first scene of the Vergil Chapter, and he showed off Vergil’s sword arrays as well as strikes and slashes. Since they looked obviously more dashing than Dante’s moves, a large group of people gathered behind him to watch.
Different from the original version, the Vergil Chapter of the System Version had its own missions to accomplish. Since Vergil’s strength was very high at the beginning of the game, the whole process would be relatively shorter. In the Vergil Chapter, Vergil’s battle with Dante was only the prelude, and the main missions happened after he entered the demon world.
Obviously, this new chapter was warmly accepted by fans of Devil May Cry. As for the players of Devil May Cry in Half City, they preferred Vergil who was an unorthodox hero, so they all worked hard to pass the game to unlock the Vergil Chapter.
Meanwhile, Mr. Fang continued to earn red orbs in the game and tried to push all of the two characters’ techniques and skill to the max levels.
Two more characters appeared in the Game Cultivation Room. One was Dante who wore a red windbreaker and carried the big sword Rebellion on his back; he looked untamed and reckless. The other was blue-robed Vergil. With Yamato hanging on his belt, his eyes looked chilly.
While others learned from their masters or elders in their respective factions or families, Fang Qi found that his best teachers were these statue-like game characters.
In here, he fought each battle with his life.
Most of the time, Mr. Fang wouldn’t try to learn the ultimate techniques that were too deep for him since those moves would consume lots of his energy, and there was no guarantee that he could cast these techniques afterwards. In addition, he would be killed hundreds if not thousands of times each day if he tried.
With his current strength at the late stage Grand Ancestral Warrior Realm and the assistance of the Owner-Brand cigarettes, Mr. Fang now could use Sword God once.
When he launched Orochi Divine Light, he had borrowed strength from the godly weapon fragments; it wasn’t his own strength.
Since it wasn’t necessary for him to learn higher-level techniques, his top priority right now was increasing his cultivation strength. He focused on practicing simple and efficient moves and increasing the efficiency of playing games. After all, he could obtain lots of cultivation strength through playing games, and it couldn’t be neglected.
Soon, Dante’s surroundings began to change, and the scene shifted to the place before Dante’s shop.
They both held two guns. After the first gunshot, a series of rhythmic gunshots followed. Gunfire flashed on both sides, turning from orange to red. In the next moment, they began to fire bullets instilled with demonic energy!
The place looked as if it had just been bombed with huge bullet holes everywhere.
When the magazines went empty, two sword energies slashed out swiftly!
…
Meanwhile, due to the existence of Grand Theft Auto 5’s online mode, many players paid little attention to the plot in the offline mode. However, a group of artifact masters, who knew how to enjoy life and harbored a strong interest in powerful weapons and advanced technologies, played the game to the end.
Of course, for most of the players, the biggest attraction of this game was all kinds of novel things and lifestyles. When they were tired of playing other games, they would enter this game to drive around, take a drink, and enjoy the sunshine.
The civilian warriors of Jiuhua City naturally wouldn’t spend money to relax in this game. However, the major forces outside Dajin paid great attention to it after they learned that Dajin had derived their winning war strategy from this game to defeat their alliance.
The cultivators in Half City generally could afford this game. While the sales of Devil May Cry 3 shot up, the sales of Grand Theft Auto 5 continued to grow gradually as well.
The activation number of 3,000 seemed like a big target, but after a long while, the target was almost reached.
It showed that the people in this different world also liked games featuring entertainment.
It was hard to imagine that some people would be so lazy that they didn’t even want to play the relaxing Grand Theft Auto 5, but these people did exist.
Su Tianji peeled a spiritual orange that she had just picked from her orange tree. While stuffing one piece into her mouth, she clicked her mouse and began playing Plants vs Zombies again in her room.
From the looks of it, she wouldn’t stop until she passed the game.
Meanwhile, a large group of players gathered in Mr. Fang’s arcade room. They slammed on the buttons and pushed the joysticks wildly, fighting their rivals on the screen.
The fans of Jade Dynasty had reached the part in which the Beast God invaded the middle region of the continent. On the other hand, Wind and Cloud was coming to an end. It was late winter, and New Years was around the corner.
Mr. Fang was making plans for his vacation that could be covered in the business trip of opening a new shop next year when the system beeped, signaling that there was a new message for him.
