Ning Bi continued to read, “After killing Lilith, Uber Izzual, and Uber Duriel, we can get Diablo’s Horn, Mephisto’s Brain, and Baal’s Eye. With these three items, we can go to the headquarters of the three prime evils – Chaos Tristram.”
“Where’s Mr. Fang?” Ning Bi called out to Mr. Fang, “Sir, do you think such bosses really exist?”
Behind Ning Bi, the camera for the big screen on the stage turned toward Mr. Fang.
Mr. Fang just smiled. “Let’s test it.”
Nalan Hongwu and the others were the most experienced Diablo 2 players.
Despite the new games released each year, these veteran players would never forsake the old games.
Obviously, Nalan Hongwu had gotten the Key of Terror, the Key of Hate, and the Key of Destruction ready.
Opening a portal with one key, the three keys could transmute into three portals in Horadric Cube. Each of these three portals led to a Lesser Evil’s residence.
At this moment, the viewers watched as Nalan Hongwu placed a set of keys into the Horadric Cube.
The ancient godly ‘Horadric Cube’ had miraculous powers and was one of the highest achievements of alchemy. It could simplify most spells and recipes and forge items.
When Nalan Hongwu activated the Horadric Cube, the viewers saw a streak of strange red light fall from the sky in the center of the city.
A red portal emitting a bloody smell was opened.
It seemed to lead to the entrance of Hell with extremely horrifying monsters hiding there!
Then, the second portal and the third portal were opened!
With Elder Fu and Nalan Hongwu stepping into the first portal, the magic map showed that it was a place named Matron’s Den.
Obviously, this wasn’t a place familiar to the players!
“It’s true!” All the players who had played or knew about Diablo 2 stared at the screen in a daze.
There really exists such a secret place, and evil demon lords are indeed hiding inside!
They felt the thick mist beginning to clear up before them, revealing the true forms of the bosses.
When the true forms of the three Lesser Evils were killed, Diablo’s Horn, Mephisto’s Brain, and Baal’s Eye merged into a new blood-colored portal which looked like the eye of doomsday.
It led to Chaos Tristram where countless demons lived!
Endless destruction and hellish horror filled this terrifying space.
This was the Tristram in a different dimension. It was the headquarters and home base of the three demon lords!
“My goodness… there are indeed true forms of those demon lords…”
“The three demon lords at Hell Difficulty are horrifying enough… I wonder how powerful these three existences are…!
Upon entering the portal, the players were struck with destructive storms and world-destroying meteorite strikes. Although it was only a quick glance, the scene left a deep impression on the viewers.
“I didn’t know that the terrifying true forms of these three demon lords are hiding in Diablo 2, and they are horrifyingly powerful!” Ning Bi said, “I’m afraid that not everyone can challenge them. Now, thank you for bringing us such a fascinating Easter egg!”
“Then, let’s see the next.”
“The mysterious small waterdrops in the Legend of Sword and Fairy 4,” Ning Bi read, “After mastering the ability to fly on swords and returning to Rock Creek Cave in Green Bird Peak, you’ll find that it is totally different inside. There are no longer monsters but many mysterious small waterdrops in which we seem to see the dialogues between the creators of the Legend of Sword and Fairy 4…”
“Huh-!? The creators of the Legend of Sword and Fairy 4?!” Ning Bi said in surprise, “It is the god-like figure named Shanghai Softstar? Or is it an organization?!”
“Creators?!” In the Jiuhua City Shop, Su Tianji said in surprise, “The creators of the Legend of Sword and Fairy…? Really?!”
“F*ck!” Song Qingfeng was also surprised. “What kind of god-like figures are they…?!”
After all, the creators of the games had always been mysterious!
“Let’s verify if this Easter egg really exists!”
In the system version, this Easter egg was harder to find than in the original version in which the waterdrops were big NPCs which could converse. In the system version, they looked the same as the small waterdrops in nature.
It was why not many players discovered them. At this moment, Elder Sewell and other elves who were fans of natural scenery were demonstrating this Easter egg.
They had gone to Rock Creek Cave many times to appreciate the views and thus found this detail.
Soon, the big screen behind Ning Bi showed these waterdrops.
Shining under the lights, the waterdrops in Rock Creek Cave emitted dreamy colors, making the dream-like cave even more fascinating.
They looked carefully and saw another world seemed to be hidden in the small radiant waterdrops.
Vaguely, they seemed to hear some voices.
“The Legend of Sword and Fairy 4 contains the hard work of many people who had worked day and night on it. Shanghai Softstar is only six years old… Thank you for your support, but we don’t dare to compare it to many other masterpieces.”
“Many players like the Legend of Sword and Fairy, and we must nurture it with sincerity instead of selfishness. Otherwise, how can the players be touched by the stories?”
“While you experience the world, remember to try all kinds of small delicacies in different places. As we mention food, I remember that I haven’t had barbecue for a long while…”
“Playing games appropriately is good for your mind. Remember to take a break when you’re fatigued…”
“Thank you for your support and love for the Legend of Sword and Fairy 4!!”
In reality, the players in this world never knew what the production teams looked like.
However, they felt the sincerity and gratitude contained in these words.
“From their conversations, we can tell that Shanghai Softstar is probably the youngest team and not very rich,” Ning Bi said in excitement, “Although I don’t know if these god-like figures are just being modest, I want to say, thank you for making the excellent Legend of Sword and Fairy under severe conditions. Thank you!”
At this moment, bullet comments flooded the screen, coming from players all over the world including those in the Continent of Immortal Relics as well as the elves and dwarves in the West Continent.
[Thank you!]
[Thank you for bringing us such an excellent story!]
[Hope we can see more excellent stories from you!]
Perhaps they didn’t know that before Fang Qi traveled through space time, the team named Softstar which had made the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 and 4 had disintegrated.
In the Canglan City Shop, the elves sent their sincere wish. [Regardless of how the world changes, these memories will always stay in our hearts.]
