Why the bug I wrote became a core gameplay mechanic?!
Chapter 363 - 372 A New Monster

Chapter 363: Chapter 372 A New Monster

"Master Mode will be a whole new challenge; we suggest you create a new account for the best gaming experience!"

As soon as I entered the game, this popup appeared.

Chen Tingquan couldn’t help but remark, "Eh? Nowadays, mods are getting more and more impressive. If I hadn’t known in advance, I would have thought this was a new mode developed by the official Nitiandang team."

The UI of this popup and everything else from the font to the texture was identical to the official design, clearly made using the game’s own assets, not out of place at all.

As for Master Mode’s login interface, it was pretty much the same as the regular mode, with only some changes in color scheme, looking more vibrant and giving off a sense of lurking danger.

Moreover, the mod didn’t just add a "Master Mode" entrance; it changed all the default options to Master Mode.

The original options like new game or load game normally led to the standard mode, but now they defaulted to entering Master Mode.

As for how to go back to the classic mode?

You either had to uninstall the mod or go to the "Options", find "Other Settings", then "Game Difficulty", and finally tick "Disable Master Mode".

Otherwise, whether starting a new game or loading a previous save, players would default to starting in Master Mode.

One could say it was quite misleading.

Of course, this wasn’t Gan Di’s intention. He didn’t deliberately make the mod this tricky.

When Gan Di created it, he had already assumed that players who download the Master Mod were those who enjoyed seeking thrills and challenges, so it made more sense to enter directly into Master Mode by default.

After all, Gan Di didn’t expect Nitiandang to push this mode to all regular players too!

At this point, Chen Tingquan was blissfully unaware of the predicament he was about to face, and naively, following the popup’s instructions, created a new Master difficulty save.

"It’s just as well, since I’ve pretty much collected everything in my old save. Let’s show everyone what it’s like when the king of soldiers returns and dominates!

"I’ll definitely manage Master difficulty with ease, no sweat!"

At this moment, Chen Tingquan was full of confidence. After all, he had previously swept through the entire Fantasy Continent, defeated the final boss, the Demon King, and could mow down regular monsters with ease, knowing the locations and methods to obtain powerful weapons by heart.

As for the game’s various bugs, oh no, hidden mechanics, such as Fire Bullet, the unlimited durability Sword of the Brave, and so on, he had already mastered them.

The original world could no longer offer him much of a challenge.

Starting Master Mode from scratch for the game experience? Chen Tingquan thought it was a good way to refresh his excitement.

The difficulty probably wouldn’t be outrageously hard; there might be some close calls, but as long as he utilized various hidden mechanics properly, he could still dominate.

Soon, Chen Tingquan entered the game once more.

"Ah, the nostalgia!"

Arriving once again on the familiar Fantasy Continent, all the Hero’s upgraded stats had been reset to zero, the cool Eternal Brave’s Sword was gone, and all I had was a small branch just picked up from the ground.

But this was no big deal for Chen Tingquan.

He had already planned it out in his mind beforehand.

"Once we get out, we’ll head straight for the nearest Monster Camp to stock up. Then we’ll unlock some basic abilities and use Fire Bullet to zip over to the adjacent map’s high-level Monster Camp, grab three advanced weapons, and then go straight for the King’s City, pick up some Demon King’s army weapons.

"And then it’s on to get the eternal Sword of the Brave.

"And then... I began to turn into the tyrant of Fantasy Continent, killing anyone who stood in my way, including the Buddha if he blocked my path!"

Chen Tingquan’s plan was perfect.

Legend of Infinity Fantasy differed from other games, as weapon breakage meant there were no level or stat restrictions for players using weapons. As long as a player could acquire these weapons, even at level one, they could use them freely.

For new players, this setting was painful; having good weapons but fearing to use them recklessly.

But for veteran players, this setting provided great convenience for their speedruns. Every weapon could be translated into tangible numbers, and as long as the weapon’s attack power was sufficient, it could defeat mid-to-late game monsters.

Although Chen Tingquan wasn’t a professional speedrunner, he hadn’t eaten pork but had seen pigs run, and he still hoped to replicate some of the high-end maneuvers of speedrunners.

"Eh?

"Wait, what is this?"

As Chen Tingquan prepared to head to a nearby monster camp according to his plan, he suddenly spotted a creature ahead that he had never seen before.

It seemed to be a kind of Half-Orc, generally humanoid in shape but with sharp fangs on its mouth and clad in armor made of animal hide and bones, looking imposing and majestic.

It was riding a tall and fierce-looking Mount Wolf, covered in black fur.

In addition, it carried a massive Beast Bone Bow on its back, a sharp Beast Bone Spear, and held a formidable Beast Bone Greatsword in its hand.

At that moment, it was leisurely patrolling around on its wolf.

Chen Tingquan couldn’t help but be startled, "What the hell is this? Is it a new monster added by a mod?"

This creature bore resemblance to several other monsters in the game. For example, the wolf it rode was clearly modified from the wolves in the wild in the game, only larger and with additional features.

The riding animation seemed to also share similarities with the cavaliers of the Demon King’s army.

There were also some decoration textures and action details that seemed to be free assets from Legend of Infinity Fantasy or other games.

Although it was a patchwork of features, they were well integrated, not feeling out of place in this world.

Chen Tingquan cautiously approached when suddenly, a Blood Bar indicative of a boss appeared at the top of the screen!

Next to the Blood Bar was the name: Beast Clan War God!

"Come on, why would the Beast Race have something like a War God, that’s not logical!"

Chen Tingquan wanted to complain that the name didn’t really fit with the world setting of Legend of Infinity Fantasy. Because in this world, there was no such thing as the "Beast Race," and the strongest monsters were usually part of the Demon King’s army.

Even if there were some wild beast creatures in the game, they were generally for hunting and acquiring meat, and couldn’t be described as a "race."

But such complaints were pointless now, as the Beast Clan War God spurred the Mount Wolf beneath it and rushed towards Chen Tingquan, then pulled out the great bow from behind and shot an arrow straight at him!

"I’m rolling away!"

Chen Tingquan confidently rolled to the side, only to discover after rolling that the Beast Clan War God had fired seven arrows simultaneously, almost completely blocking all space for his roll.

Just as Chen Tingquan got to his feet, one of the arrows struck him!

In an instant, the short Blood Bar of the newborn Hero was wiped clean.

GAME OVER!
