RoleplayNovel Chapter 62 Kirby
Chapter 62 Kirby
"Old Zhou, what are you going to do for New Year's Day?"
Upon hearing the words, Zhou Ziheng, a junior high school boy, turned around and glanced at his classmate.
"Just stay home, there's nothing else to do anyway."
Lin Yihang, who was behind him, chuckled and leaned closer, whispering something.
"My dad got Breath of the Wild, wanna come over and play?"
Zhou Ziheng frowned, not believing his childhood friend's words at all.
"Didn't Tangren Games say it would be released on the eve of the Lunar New Year? Where did you get it?"
"Then don't worry about it, just tell me if you're coming or not?"
The next day, at Lin Yihang's home.
Zhou Ziheng stared at the pink spherical object on the screen.
"Is this Breath of the Wild?"
The boy replied with a grin.
"Wilderness 'Suction'! This game is really popular lately, it was just released by Tangren Games, and there's more..."
He manipulated the cute spherical object on the screen to walk next to a swordsman monster, suck it into its belly, and then devour it.
In the image, Kirby has transformed into a swordsman wearing a green hat and wielding a longsword.
"The swordsman in the green hat! Tell me, isn't this just another instance of the Wilderness's 'Absorption'?"
"Alright..."
He was already used to his childhood friend's eccentricities, so he sat down next to him and used the keyboard to switch to Player 2.
"At least this game can be played by two people."
As Zhou Ziheng pressed the button on the controller, a flash of light appeared on the screen, and a small orange round figure wearing a blue headscarf and holding a spear jumped out of thin air and landed steadily next to the pink demon.
"You can use this bandana, Wardrudy. I'm Kirby, the main character!"
Lin Yihang smugly controlled Kirby, who was wearing a green hat, to spin around a few times, and then swung his little sword wildly at the air.
Zhou Ziheng sighed, too lazy to argue with this eccentric childhood friend, and controlled Wadou Rudi to walk forward.
"Alright, hurry up and get through this. What else can you do besides slash around, you cuckolded swordsman?"
"Watch closely!"
Lin Yihang shouted. In the scene, Kirby spit out something, then went to another small monster and swallowed it.
Then, just like the monster from before, Kirby started breathing fire.
"That's interesting. It can even use the enemy's abilities."
Zhou Ziheng raised an eyebrow. Although Tangren Games was often criticized online before, their recent games were indeed quite fun.
The two continued to move forward.
The game's mechanics are extremely simple, to the point that you could say it has no learning curve at all.
Kirby can suck monsters into his stomach and then copy their abilities;
Wadourudi, on the other hand, focuses on a physical basic attack, with spear thrusts and helicopter-style spins, which is surprisingly enjoyable to play.
However, Zhou Ziheng soon realized that something was wrong.
"Lin Yihang! You can absorb monsters all you want, but why did you suck me in too?!"
In the scene, the pink demon opens its abyssal maw, swallowing not only the fire-breathing monsters in front of it, but also the diligently clearing monsters in front of it.
"Oops, oops, I pushed the joystick too hard." Lin Yihang laughed and controlled Kirby to spit Zhou Ziheng out, accidentally killing a bird that was about to launch a sneak attack.
"You did this on purpose!" Zhou Ziheng was furious as he watched the little character he was controlling fly around the screen like a cannonball.
The next half hour turned into a "mutual torment" session between the two brothers.
When faced with an ice block that required fire abilities to solve a puzzle, Lin Yihang deliberately spat out the fire attribute he had just absorbed and went to absorb a useless umbrella monster, then frantically spun around in the rain while holding the umbrella.
"Old Zhou, look at my umbrella, isn't it cool? Doesn't it look like Wong Fei-hung?"
"Cool my foot! How did the ice in front melt? Hurry up and go back to rekindle the fire!"
Zhou Ziheng remained silent.
"No, this umbrella can also provide protection!"
Upon encountering the cliff, Zhou Ziheng's Voodoo Doll easily flew across using the helicopter-like motion of his spear, while Lin Yihang's Kirby frantically inflated itself in mid-air, drifting slowly like a pink balloon. Then, Zhou Ziheng, on the other side of the cliff, grinned mischievously, seized the opportunity, and delivered a precise basic attack, his spear piercing Kirby's inflated body.
"puff."
Kirby deflated and fell straight into the abyss.
"Zhou Ziheng! You son of a bitch!"
Lin Yihang screamed in despair as he watched the resurrection countdown pop up on the screen.
"This is called reciprocity. Who told you to use me as a cannon fodder just now?"
Zhou Ziheng's lips curled up into a wild smile, the frustration of being tricked into watching "Breath of the Wild" completely gone.
The two bickered and stumbled their way to the boss at the end of the first level.
The wind whispers through the big tree.
The tree not only drops apples to hit people, but also spews out strong gusts of air in an attempt to blow them away.
"Old Zhou, charge! You tank the damage, I'll deal the damage!" Lin Yihang shouted as he manipulated the "curved blade" ability he had just absorbed, hiding behind and throwing darts like crazy.
"Why should I take the damage?! Aren't you the main character?"
Zhou Ziheng cursed, but his hands moved quickly. He slid his Vadorudi to avoid the falling apple, then leaped into the air and frantically stabbed at the tree roots in mid-air.
The tree's health bar plummeted, and finally, accompanied by an exaggerated animation, it collapsed with a crash, shedding tears of grievance.
The words "Stage Clear" appeared in large gold letters on the screen.
"call."
Lin Yihang let out a long sigh, threw the controller aside, grabbed a potato chip from the table, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"How's the game? Pretty good, right? It's much better than just sitting at home all day, isn't it?"
Zhou Ziheng watched the pink and orange figures dancing on the screen to celebrate clearing the level. Although he didn't want to admit it, he genuinely found it very amusing. He hadn't experienced this kind of simple, pure joy of cooperative gameplay in a long time.
He picked up the handle and gently kicked Lin Yihang:
"Stop talking nonsense and get to the next level. I'll have to keep an eye on you this time, make sure you don't inhale any more useless stuff."
"Tch, that's because you don't understand the value of my Pink Devil! Let's go!"
The two of them played around like that in the bedroom.
Meanwhile, Lin Yihang's parents, lying face to face in the bedroom, were already used to their son's behavior.
It's just that he dragged his classmates over to his house and started yelling at eight o'clock. I'm used to it.
Although I wanted to stay in bed a little longer, I couldn't fall asleep anymore.
Lin's mother simply got out of bed and started getting dressed.
"I'm going to get up and buy groceries. Why don't you ask our son and Xiao Zhou what they want to eat?"
Mr. Lin, still scrolling through his phone, looked at the screen without looking up and said:
"Just buy whatever you want. They're having so much fun, they don't have time to think about these things."
Lin's mother rolled her eyes and reached out to pinch Lin's father's cheek.
"And what about you? What are you doing? Come with me to buy groceries."
Mr. Lin rolled over and pinned his wife beneath him, kissing her on the cheek.
"Of course I'll join their fight!"
"Hey, stop messing around... Aren't you being childish?"
"Tch, I wonder who was it that insisted on playing Kirby last night."
