Chapter 48 -27: The Head of Ke Jin’s Haters_1
Chang Le had come to terms with the idea of his computer being infected; he was planning to sell the old thing anyway.
His heart had died in the game, and the computer seemed useless to him now.
Unexpectedly, the website link turned out to be real.
The so-called free game was actually downloadable.
With nothing better to do, Chang Le started playing the game.
As he grew older, his interest in games had waned. He no longer wished to delve into game content or bother with the controls.
“If this game is too complicated, then I’ll just uninstall it,” Chang Le mumbled as he tried playing for a couple of minutes.
“Huh?”
It was unexpectedly simple.
He didn’t need to use the keyboard at all, just a mouse click to launch the pinball, then he just watched it bounce around chaotically.
And just like the email had stated.
It was indeed a bit relieving.
Watching the pinball smash nails and bounce, dealing damage, his attention gradually shifted from his earlier distraction to the game.
After clearing the first room and getting the hang of the gameplay, it was time to choose a special bead.
Chang Le glanced over the options, three to choose from.
He chose the “Dagger Bead.”
The effect was, normal attacks were weaker, but hitting a Critical Hit Nail would result in substantial damage.
In the second room, he began aiming for the Critical Hit Nails on the screen with purpose.
Normal stones hitting the Critical Hit Nail would result in x2 damage, and hitting it again would make it x4, and so on.
For the Dagger Bead, even at level one without upgrades, hitting a Critical Hit Nail would yield a x4 multiplier!
Meaning, it would add 4 points of damage with each nail it struck.
After he had cleared the second room and chosen to upgrade the Dagger Bead at the results screen, the critical hit multiplier had already reached 5 points.
At the start of the third room, two Critical Hit Nails appeared right before his eyes.
He aimed carefully and fired!
The continuous bouncing, hitting the mark without fail.
And at that moment, the critical hit multiplier had been boosted to x20!
Each hit on a nail increased the damage by 20 points!
After bouncing back and forth over a dozen times, the accumulated damage had soared to a respectable 300+!
The monster guarding the third level was instantly killed.
The visceral thrill of amassing damage and then unleashing it far surpassed the feedback of a single hit dealing 999 damage.
Chang Le felt a rush of exhilaration stirring within.
“This is really satisfying…” he smacked his lips, as the spoils-of-war screen popped up after the third room ended, displaying a choice of relics that widened his eyes.
“Damn, what is this?”
There were three relics to choose from, but his gaze was fixated unwaveringly on one of them.
“Crit Wool”
Effect: When triggering a critical hit, the multiplier increases by 1.5 times.
…
If his Dagger Bead had a base critical multiplier of 5, then with this relic, the base critical rate would shoot up to 7.5!
Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.
After ricocheting off two Critical Hit Nails, it could instantly hit a x30 multiplier!
His record high damage per hit was just 20, but with the relic, it would be increased by 50%!
A relic that matched his bead perfectly filled Chang Le with the pleasure of feeling ‘You’ve been enhanced.’
Eager to lock in his choice of relic, he quickly entered the fourth room, wanting to test the effects of his newly-acquired item.
The luck wasn’t great in this level, triggering only one Critical Hit Nail throughout.
But thanks to the early level’s mild difficulty, he toughed it out after losing twenty or thirty points of health.
Then, in the fifth room, he found a treasure chest room.
Another chance to pick a relic presented itself.
“Lucky Coin”
Adds 2 Critical Hit Nails to the board. (Normally, on a round board, there are about 2 bombs, 2 Critical Hit Nails, and 2 Refresh Nails, though some stages may vary.)
“Severe Injury Potion”
Gives the Critical Hit Nail the effect of the Refresh Nail.
…
In the game, the pinball board had three types of elements besides regular nails: Bomb, Critical Hit Nail, and Refresh Nail.
The first two were self-explanatory, and the Refresh Nail, as its name suggested, was for refreshing the board.
Nails triggered by the pinball would disappear, and if the damage wasn’t enough to kill the monster and there were no nails left on the board,
it would lead to a dead end.
To avoid such situations, an element of refreshment was naturally included in the game, displayed on the board with an ‘R’ icon.
After the pinball hit the Refresh Nail,
a new set of nails would be reset onto the board, which also included bombs, Critical Hit Nails, and Refresh Nails.
The second relic’s effect meant that Critical Hit Nails would now have the refresh function as well.
Which is to say, theoretically, as long as luck was on his side, he could refresh the board endlessly and trigger Critical Hit Nails indefinitely… allowing the critical hits to ramp up to terrifying multipliers!
“I want both, what should I do?” Chang Le was conflicted.
But soon he noticed another description below the chest selection screen.
“Enter a special battle where you guide your pinball into a designated hole to claim all the items in the chest!”
Chang Le’s eyes lit up, and he made his choice decisively.
In the new screen that popped up, there were no monsters, and he only had one chance to shoot.
At the bottom of the board were three holes, with only the middle one highlighted and marked with a chest icon.
All he had to do was guide his single pinball through the haphazard array of nails and into the hole marked with the chest.
