The Trickster's Ninth Episode

A lifelike puppet.

It's just a person who hasn't paid much attention to it at all, and can outline such a character in the [theater] only with an incomplete impression like a silhouette.

Ren Yugong has a deeper understanding of the influence of her own thinking on the world.

So, endowed with intellect, endowed with thinking, endowed with personality, endowed with the past and the future, do shadows that resemble life exist in Hallownest?

Yu Gonglian felt that maybe the little knight would be such a role.

I don't know where the little knight is now, maybe he has become the Void God?

Yugong Lian really wanted to see the little knight, but now she still has business to do, so let's press this one for now.

The new Fool's champion was born in the arena, and the cheers of the audience continued for a long time.Geo, who can almost drown the entire arena floor, is shining with silver light, and the stands are still throwing money down, fools use this to vent their surprise of witnessing the new championship battle.

During the carnival, the King of Fools, who had long died, sat motionless on his throne.

Those who believed in the abyss all died of black blood flowing from their orifices.

So far, the content about the Arena of Fools in the main chapter of the game has ended, and the [knowledge] in Ren Amamiya's heart also ends here, and there will be no follow-up.

But Umiya Ren was not satisfied.

Amidst the cheers, the lights in the arena became brighter and brighter, gradually, like a hole in the sky piercing the dome, blurring the vision.

Carnival fools, rotten thrones, geos all over the place, ancient battlefields, everything seems unreal in the bright light.

Jiou gradually disappeared like a phantom, and the bloated and weak audience fools disappeared, replaced by rough and heroic fool warriors. The smell of iron and blood became stronger and stronger, and the war song that had disappeared resounded again.

Yu Gonglian stepped on her toes and jumped back, a huge spear flew from the side, pierced deeply where Yu Gonglian was standing, and sank three points into the ground.

On the spear, there is an extremely huge domino.

First Letter - The Trial of the King of Fools

There was a sound like an earthquake, and looking towards the auditorium, the King of Fools who should have been dead stood up from the throne at some point, his huge body silently telling the majesty and strength of this king.

He jumped up, came to the field, pulled out the long spear on the ground, and waved the tip of the spear at Amamery Ren.

The dominoes on the gun were torn into pieces by the violent force while the gun was being swung, and the wind and waves stirred up sand and dust in the arena, chilling the game for a while.

And Yu Gonglian faced the King of Fools squarely, stretched out the bone nail in her hand, and gave him the etiquette of a challenger.

The ancient giant worm who believes in the abyss, Ren Amemiya is already the size of the boss, this giant worm is two to three times taller than him, and the burly aspect directly occupies nearly one-third of the arena's space. It looks like a boss with only one knife and three drops of blood.

Facing the King of Fools, a wave of new power appeared on Ren Amemiya - Mantis Claw, Moth Wing Cloak, Crystal Core, King's Wing, Shadow Dash.

In the "Hollow Knight" fan game, even if the model is replaced by the player's own character from the little knight, these basic combat mechanisms cannot be absent!

"The King of Fools..."

There was no wind, but the airflow spontaneously converged at the feet of the lotus in the amazement, and pink crystal fragments emerged from the ground out of thin air.

"I quite like this title."

The violent impact erupted under the feet of Amamiya Ren, the figure disappeared, and the crystal on the ground instantly shattered, turning into a beautiful light rain.

"Then please the old king,"

cut!

"Submit to me!"

★Separation line★

"Hmm... The fighting mode of the King of Fools still feels lacking in meaning."

Ren Amameiya walked out of the arena. At this time, the Fool's Arena has returned to its long-lost and dilapidated appearance. The corpse of the King of Fools is also sitting on the throne, as if nothing happened just now.

Even the original three trial dominoes were locked again, and everything went back to the way it was when Umiya Ren didn't come.

Everything in Hallownest is polished by Ren Amameya, so the second-generation content that is not found in games like King of Fools naturally cannot escape this rule.

The strength and intensity of the battle are real. Ren Amamiya fought very frankly, but the fighting style overlapped with some enemies in Ren's mind.

After thinking about it, the King of Fools seems to have a bit of the shadow of the lion boy Shaar, and a bit of the shadow of the mantis rebelling against the king. I feel that this boss needs to be redesigned.

"And about the values ​​of the player characters... Should I design them according to my own values? Or set multiple levels of difficulty..."

"But with the current physics engine, if you directly set different game difficulties, the enemy's performance will have a direct visual difference!"

This is like smashing with one move. If you lower the boss attribute, you won't even be able to break the floor unless you adjust the material of the floor.

And some material data, such as hardness and density, are directly written, and it will be a lot of work to change it.

How about not changing it?Let players who choose the easy difficulty feel that what they beat is just a weak chicken.

Ren Amamiya didn't struggle too much, there is still a need for difficulty, the battle on the VR platform itself is already difficult enough, not everyone has enough fighting literacy in the real world.

If on this basis, players are given a near-realistic battle with high enemy attributes, then it is estimated that this wave of people will not be able to pass the level after being tortured to death.

In fact, even if Ren Amameiya completely gave her attributes to other players, it would be difficult for them to pass the level.

Among other things, some non-mechanical skills like Ren Amamiya used, such as the previous super sprint + Iai slash, first of all, there is no such operation in the Hollow Knight game, and secondly, in reality, normal people do not have that kind of operation. A kind of neural sensitivity for precise responses in short-distance ultra-sprints.

Well, the difficulty level has been determined in this way, but how to divide the difficulty and how many difficulties are divided, you have to go back and add up the total.

Ren Amamiya was brainstorming in her mind, stepped out of the Fool's Arena, and then went straight back to her escape apartment.

And just after Yu Gonglian left, a small container walked into the entrance of the Fool's Arena with a bone nail on its back.

It silently raised its head and looked at the Hanged Worm without saying a word.

"Oh! Dear champion, are you here to participate in the competition? You came at the wrong time, just now..."

"Huh? Just now...just now...just now?"

The Hanged Worm fell into strange thoughts.

The little knight looked at the chaotic Hanged Worm, and calmly looked away.

It arrived in front of the three dominoes with ease, and then triggered the [Fool's Trial], and then the figure turned into a black shadow and rushed directly into the arena.

The huge arena is filled with the same smell of iron and blood as in the past. The little knight's eyes fell on the king of fools with black blood flowing from his orifices. As the will of the abyss today, it seems to have felt something from this dead abyss believer. .

Feeling the lingering breath of the scene, a certain sentence echoed inexplicably in the heart of the dark abyss of the little knight.

That is the inscription engraved at the entrance of Hallownest in the past, and I don’t know how many years have passed——

【Advanced creatures, these words are only for you...】

Chapter 170 Saiki Kusuo Trap

June 5 → June 28/Sunday

On Sunday morning, after setting up the stools in the store, Sojiro disappeared.

According to the small report made by Futaba, Sakura Wakaba also disappeared. It is said that a relative in their family is coming, and the Sakura couple went to pick him up.

And Futaba himself, currently at LeBron, is holding a bowl of curry rice that Amamiya Ren just made for breakfast.

"Master, please use it."

On an early morning like this, LeBron usually only has two guests, Kusuo Saiki and Shinmi Teruhashi.

Of course, the two of them will not appear in the store at the same time. Thanks to this, Kusuo Saiki now comes to LeBron to eat coffee pudding and take it away.

Swish!Come over to checkout and pick up the goods.

Swish!Just teleport home and enjoy.

Let's hope his amazing parents don't interfere with what little leisure time he has, and neither do his other friends.

Ren Amamiya wished Saiki Kusuo sincerely in her heart.

Kotomi Teruhashi missed again, but it didn't matter, this time she came to the store not just to look for Saiki Kusuo.

This time, Zhaoqiao Xinmei brought a very delicate box, which seemed to cost a lot of money. The similar carved Amemiya lotus had been seen on the lunch box of Hyakki Ayame.

The lunch box was opened, and there was a coffee pudding inside. Xinmei Zhaohashi took it out solemnly, prepared the tableware and put it in front of Amemiya Ren.

"..." Amamiya Ren felt awkward looking at Zhaoqiao Xinmei's ceremonial appearance from just now.

This is just a coffee pudding. In a sense, apart from the amount used in the recipe, there is no technical dessert at all.

Don't act like you're taking a culinary exam right now.

At this moment, Ren Amamiya had the illusion that she had become Kotaro Shinomiya.

Although the comic-like sense of ceremony of Teruhashi Shinmi makes Amamiya Ren quite awkward, but the girl is so attentive and serious, Amamiya Ren does not intend to pour cold water on her.

Just go with her rhythm.

Thinking of this, Ren Amamiya solemnly scooped up a mouthful of coffee pudding with a spoon and put it into her mouth.

Shinmi Teruhashi is different from some traditional perfect girls who are not good at cooking. Shinmi Teruhashi is a real perfect girl, and she has no shortcomings in cooking. She can't cook dark dishes that only the audience will know. As a cute attribute.

From the point of view of Shanlun, Amamiya Ren is still very satisfied with this nominal disciple.

"Well, qualified."

"Really! Really?!" Zhaoqiao Xinmei said in surprise.

"There's no need to lie to people in this kind of place, right?" Yu Gonglian said with a smile. "There's nothing wrong with the pudding itself, but did you make the caramel on top?"

"Eh? That... I bought it." Zhaoqiao Xinmei said with some embarrassment.

"Then I'll teach you how to fry sugar later." Yu Gonglian nodded and said simply.

"Yes! I will not slacken my master!" Zhaoqiao Xinmei responded very loudly.

"Okay, okay, don't be so serious, your culinary skills are not bad, I am very relieved about this." Yu Gonglian waved her hand casually, and then cut to the point.

"Then the culinary class will come to an end today, and the pudding has already passed the test. I don't need to worry about the quality of your family coffee. Then the next class is about Qi Mu."

"!"

Zhaoqiao Xinmei was in awe.

"I told you at the very beginning that I don't believe in delicious food, but in taste. Today I'm here to tell you about Qi Mu's preferences for coffee pudding."

"!"

Zhaoqiao Xinmei silently took out a small notebook and a water-based pen.

"..." Yu Gonglian looked at Zhaoqiao Xinmei's attitude a little awkwardly, but continued to talk. "The answer is that Saiki has no preference for coffee pudding."
