Chapter 891 - The Game Was Designed for Me to Show Off?
“Huh?! The shop owner is finally doing a livestream?!”
“I only watch the shop owner’s livestream.”
“Grandpa, your favorite stream is finally back on!”
People sent all kinds of bullet comments of surprises and cheers onto the screen.
“Huh-!? This is good!” Su Tianji took a peek and saw that Mr. Fang was indeed doing a livestream. Immediately, she turned on QQ Livestream and began to watch with great enjoyment.
The players of the Canglan City Shop sat together as well. They had finished the previous games of Kratos killing Olympian gods. Hearing that Kratos went to a world called ‘Midgard’, they all stopped what they were doing and came to watch the livestream.
Not everyone had finished the first three games in the God of War series, and not everyone would buy the new God of War 4, but they all wanted to see what sparks this powerful man would make after killing all the Olympian gods.
The most important thing was…
“The shop owner is doing a livestream again! Isn’t it nice?!” In the Canglan City Shop, the elves were thrilled.
“It’s just the shop owner livestreaming…”
As the Queen of the Elf Clan, Kellybel didn’t think that the scummy shop owner had any advantages over her.
She watched the big screen and mumbled in contempt, “One day, I’ll make you guys eager to watch my livestream every day!”
But now…
“Let’s watch the shop owner’s livestream first!”
…
At this moment, Valkyrie Isabela had been lying in the golden pool for a long time.
After slowly opening her eyes, she was greeted by blinding sunshine. She tried to lift her hand to block the sunshine but found…
“??? My hand?!” She found her hand was trembling a bit and refusing to move.
She tried to move her feet and was horrified to find that…
“My feet…!?”
“My body?!” She suddenly found that her whole body had lost sensation, as if it wasn’t her body!
Then, she found that her godly soul, which had been damaged by the Blade of Olympus, was too weak to move her body. Lying in her birthplace in the Godly Realm and nurtured by the godly spring, she would need at least thousands of years to regain control of her body!
It meant…
“I…am paralyzed!?”
How can it be?! She almost went crazy when this fact hit her. She wanted to yell but couldn’t let out a sound. The undefeatable Valkyrie had been beaten into paralysis by someone in the mortal world?!
No! I must see what is happening to the bald guy who placed me into such a state!
She was so furious that she wanted to find the bald guy!
Her godly soul could no longer leave her body, but fortunately, she still had a little godly power left. Therefore, she cast a peeking and eavesdropping spell.
“Livestream…?” A pair of invisible eyes followed some elves as the latter entered the shop.
“Hiss…” She saw a large group of people sitting on couches in a circle while messages jumping out on the screen. Her instinct told her that she had discovered a huge secret of the mortal world!
This secret seems to involve the background of this God of War. It seemed like they are now in the place named ‘Midgard’?
She memorized the name of this location and then began to watch the livestream in high spirits while lying in the pool, paralyzed.
…
At this moment, all the players were watching the livestream.
On the big screen was the brawny God of War who had a thick beard. Fatigue was obvious in his deep-set eyes.
His clothes were worn, and his hands were holding an old ax that looked dirty as if he had just finished some chores.
On his belly was the long scar left by the Blade of Olympus that once pierced him.
This was the current God of War.
“What difficulty level should I choose…? The game even has four levels?” Mr. Fang was in the last step of choosing the difficulty level. On the livestream, he murmured to himself, “Give Me a Story; Give Me a Balanced Experience; Give Me a Challenge; and the highest difficulty level, Give Me God of War.
“There’s no need to consider! Of course, I’ll choose…”
Immediately, Mr. Fang clicked on the blood-red words – [Give Me God of War!]
“The shop owner is indeed an excellent player!” Elf Girl Sala had a good appetite while she watched the livestream. She immediately ate a spicy stick.
“What kind of fancy plays will he show us this time?!” Su Tianji sat in the shop and watched it attentively.
“I’ll learn some profound and complex skills from the shop owner to attract my little elves!” Elf Queen Kellybel had come to the shop in her free time and was watching it, engrossed. As an elf queen, she was distressed that no one showed respect to her when she disguised her identity as the queen.
At this moment, Kratos suddenly became animated on the screen.
People seemed to see the previous God of War in him, but he looked as if he had cut out his past from his life. Like a hunter living in the depths of the mountains, he lifted his ax and hacked at the white birch tree before him strike by strike.
He roared as he hacked as if he was using all his strength to cut down the thick white birch. He looked like a hero who had grown old.
Watching this scene, the players understood that the powerful Kratos, the God of War, was indeed old now.
This was Midgard, one of the nine realms in Norse mythology.
Different from the previous games, at the beginning of God of War 4, Kratos didn’t harbor bone-deep hatred due to the betrayal of the gods. Many years after his battles with the Olympian gods, he had come out of the previous nightmarish world and was living a new life with his son. He was no longer alone.
The man before the players was no longer the God of War but a father who lived with his son in the snow forest. It was a nice and heart-warming scene.
“Ya… Did Kratos’ new wife die as well? He’s cutting wood to cremate her body and bury her?”
“These two guys… the man and the boy don’t know how to communicate with each other. Their conversations are so dry.” Mr. Fang watched the cinematics and commented, “But it’s understandable. He had never had a son before, and his daughter died a long time ago.”
“Is he going to teach his son how to hunt?” When it came to this part, Mr. Fang was eager to try. “I’m good at this…?”
He had been uncertain about the game since the main character was the previous God of War, and there was a new legend. He was afraid there might be some monsters that he couldn’t defeat. He was familiar with all the previous games, but the newly released God of War 4 was a game that he had never played before.
Hearing that they were going to go hunting, he relaxed a bit.
He was surprised that as he taught the son how to hunt, a draugr dashed out from the forest!
“It’s a random enemy, but I can easily handle a group of such low-level draugrs.” Mr. Fang raised his ax. “I think I’m supposed to show off my skills in front of my son. I’ll go and have a try.”
“Huh?! That’s good!” the elves said immediately.
This difficulty level was obviously acceptable to them.
