Chapter 637: 364 Chapter 637: 364 Ladder Mode is the latest DLC content for “Immortal Road”. The pace of “Immortal Road” is fast, with the Cultivator’s settings allowing players to determine the winner within 35–50 turns, which means a one-on-one battle could typically take one to two hours to resolve. And the reason players play Ladder Mode is simple. “I can’t bully the AI, but that doesn’t mean I can’t bully you guys!” 1V1 or 2V2 is the trend here, although some players even started a 100V100 match once, with just one round taking an hour, even with a 30-second time limit per turn. In the end, a battle turns into a meat grinder, with masses of doomsday weapons barely lasting a round on the battlefield, often getting wiped out just as they show up, truly an Apocalypse-level war within “Immortal Road”. At this point, the players’ battlefield has evolved to encompass the entire planet, and the war is inflicting irreversible damage to the planet’s surface, while the Gods in the sky crazily bestow Blessings, making the scene particularly spectacular. Although as time goes on, fewer players survive, and the game’s progress quickens, this large-scale tournament still went on and off for seven days. Fortunately, both participants and spectators expressed that they had fun, indicating they would continue holding such events if the opportunity arises. When Liuzi arrived at the Ladder tournament, this was the thriving scene he witnessed. Though it hadn’t been released for long, “Immortal Road” already had a complete PvP process, with points from each season’s Ladder tournament being usable for buying some skins. Skins don’t influence game stats, but being surrounded by a group of beautiful girls calling you “big brother” feels completely different from a bunch of black whirlwinds shouting “big brother” at you. Upon knowing that Liuzi was coming to play Ladder, Xiemen Waidao immediately came over. “Mr. Liu Liuzi, where have you been recently? I saw you online all the time, but you never contacted me,” Xiemen Waidao said with a grievance as he looked at Liuzi, “Tell me, have you found some other archenemy?” “Can you not be so disgusting? I’m getting goosebumps.” “Alright, I also find it a bit disgusting. I thought you were into that sort of thing?” “Since when have I ever been into that sort of thing?” “In my imagination.” “Keep your imagination to yourself, and don’t mess around!” After opening Liuzi’s profile, Xiemen Waidao’s expression immediately turned somewhat indescribable. Three hundred hours of game time, 1,137 matches played, a win rate of 3%. Pinching the corner of his eye, Xiemen Waidao said helplessly, “Mr. Liuzi, what’s going on here? How can you have such a low win rate even against AI?” “I have my reasons.” “Don’t tell me every time you’re about to win, your opponent turns into Xuezi and then tells you, ‘It’s okay, I will wait for you’.” “Hmm.” Xuezi is the female lead in Liuzi’s new work and the one most frequently sent knives. Her classic line is exactly what Xiemen Waidao said, “It’s okay, I will wait for you,” yet in the end, she was the one who broke her promise. Life and death, it’s all so helpless. Being called out like this by Xiemen Waidao made Liuzi feel as if a Boomerang had hit him. Fortunately, Xiemen Waidao didn’t poke further but said to Liuzi: “Ladder Mode isn’t quite the same as AI. Everyone here is old and shady, each more flamboyant than the last, and their strategies are weird. You really won’t survive here if you’re not familiar with them.” “Isn’t that your paradise?” “How could it be? I’m the most law-abiding person, and I have an excellent reputation here. Come on, let me lead you through a match to get used to it.” While Xiemen Waidao was speaking, someone happened to pass by the two of them. One of them pointed at Xiemen Waidao and exclaimed in surprise, “Fuck, it’s Xiemen Waidao!” The other quickly pulled him back, “Do you have a death wish? Do you want to get silently killed?” After the two ran off, Liuzi looked at Xiemen Waidao, his gaze full of scrutiny. Xiemen Waidao wanted to argue, but realizing he couldn’t hide it, just clicked his tongue in resignation. “Yeah, I love it here! Everyone here is talented, and they talk so nicely. I have a great time playing! Fighting with them, I’m super happy. So let me give you a good thrashing!” “There you go, that’s more like you.” They started a 1V1 match, choosing a small map, and thus their first official battle began. Xiemen Waidao skillfully chose the Fast Strike Slime, a race known for its explosive reproduction capability, which can copy and acquire the DNA of wild monsters and various creatures, then through replication obtain troops and technology. Due to the racial traits, this race is especially suited for a rush attack, and as slime creatures, they are immune to most melee weapons, making them quite troublesome in the early stages. However, this race’s base is very fragile, though there were no powerful siege weapons to worry about in the early stages. After skillfully settling and expanding to outlying mines, Xiemen Waidao found himself lucky to have a creature’s nest nearby. Letting a team of Slimes enter, Xiemen Waidao watched as the creatures inside the nest were assimilated, with masses of DNA activating the racial instincts of his Slimes and resulting in a collective evolution. The new Slimes gained the ability to fly, and their invasion and corrosion capabilities greatly improved, giving him a stronger foundation for a quick attack.
