ADAVANCE CHAPTER IN PATREON NEW DISCOUNT CODE 0E6C6 Patreon Discount patreon.com/Achilles_Stein Many people once again sighed at the horror of "Silent Hill" and then began to discuss the plot, inevitably criticizing the male protagonist. Although the plot of "Silent Hill" is very simple, it feels too close to real life. After all, tragedies like this aren't uncommon in reality! At the same time, some netizens gave a thumbs up to Pure White: "I have to say, Pure White is really strong!" "The later cycles are more terrifying each time, and Pure White managed to stand firm!" "Yeah, especially the last part with the little girl and maintaining composure was a real challenge to one's limits!" "This player is truly brave; I admire it!" commented a foreign player. "Congratulations to Pure White for being the first player to clear Silent Hill!" "Envy, he can play the next game from [New World] in advance!" ... Everyone could feel from the video that although the game process was short, it was still difficult to decipher. It took countless trials and errors to successfully clear the level, and each trial meant an intimate encounter with the ghost wife. It's estimated that Pure White faced the ghost wife many times. This isn't something an ordinary person could endure. "Hey, John, John!" Early in the morning, when John was still asleep, Jane suddenly burst into his bedroom, shouting in panic. "What's the matter..." John rubbed his eyes and asked sleepily while lying in bed. He'd been busy coding the past few days. Today, he finally got to sleep in, and Jane woke him up early in the morning. Thanks to the popularity of "Silent Hill," the acclaim he'd gained reached tens of millions. These points are more than enough to create a new large-scale VR game. Now, the game files for "Beautiful Water World" had been generated by John and created on his computer out of thin air. This saved him the tedious work of making a big game from scratch. If the game allowed him to slowly code and draw graphics himself, it would probably take several years to complete. So John opted to use more resources and have the simulator assist with the development. But creating the game files wasn't enough. The specific details of "Beautiful Water World" needed to be modified by him to better fit the world's narrative. He'd been busy with this for the past few days. "Someone posted a 'Silent Hill PT' playthrough video last night! It's all over the internet now!" Jane shouted, immediately showing her phone to John with Pure White's playthrough video playing. "Hehe, someone cleared it so soon!" John watched the video at double speed and then laughed, "Not bad, this Pure White is very brave. I suppose he's one of those thrill-seekers..." Jane's mouth twitched: "Is it really okay to say that about a loyal player?" "I'm just being honest..." John shrugged. "I know the game I made. Those who can clear it must enjoy a challenge." "Let me take a look..." John got up, turned on the computer, and logged into the Steam backend to check the achievements of the players who had started Silent Hill. "Oh, that's impressive. So far, more than a thousand people have cleared it!" John remarked, "And most of them are domestic players." "Wow, more than a thousand people?! That's impressive!" Jane was also surprised. John checked again: "Well, the first player to clear and the second player to clear are separated by seven or eight hours." "It seems that Pure White was indeed the first player to clear it, and the other thousand or so likely cleared it after watching his strategy video!" "That's understandable. After all, your promise was that the top 50 players who cleared the game would get to play your game first," Jane said with a smile. "Now that the strategy video is out, players will surely rush to pass the game quickly to become one of the top 50." John nodded, "That's right." "Then John, do you want to contact the top fifty?" Jane asked. "Why contact them?" John replied. Jane was stunned: "Isn't that your promise, or... is your new game not ready yet?" Although Jane plays games, she's a complete layman, so she has no idea how long it takes to develop a game or how much manpower and resources are consumed. After seeing John develop "Silent Hill" by himself, she unconditionally trusted her brother without any doubt. John smiled slightly: "My promise was that only the top 50 players would be eligible for a perfect clearance." "Perfect clearance?" Jane was surprised. "Isn't this Pure White a perfect clearance?!"
