Chapter 125: A Game That Changes People's Interests!

Not everyone in this world likes games.

Some even think games are too lowbrow, merely a waste of time, energy, and money.

Chen Yong is such a person.

Chen Yong is a young university professor, accomplished at a young age, the object of affection for many students, a role model in the eyes of his peers, and the ideal son-in-law in mothers' eyes.

He doesn't like games, and even feels a bit of aversion toward them.

Because Chen Yong discovered that the students in his class really enjoy playing games.

Often, when he stands at the front of the classroom, he can hear some students muttering quietly.

"Let's go to the internet café after class to play Legend together."

"Sure, I'm already over level twenty; I need to push hard to reach max level as soon as possible."

Listen! Is that what students should be saying?

At that moment, Chen Yong became angry.

But Chen Yong did not erupt on the spot.

They are already college students, adults, and they have their own choices.

Even if Chen Yong spoke up, they would not change their minds.

Moreover…

There's an even more serious situation!

Some students straight-up skip class to go play that whatever Legend!

Chen Yong really doesn't see what's fun about games.

He even tried playing himself to understand the students' behavior, but still couldn't reach a conclusion.

Actually, through that trial play, Chen Yong learned about Grand.

As for Grand, Chen Yong can only say, "What a harmful game company!"

And then there's Lu Yu, the game's chief planner—same thing!

Then…

One day, Chen Yong suddenly learned some news.

The chief planner of Grand's games, the creator of Plants vs. Zombies and Legend, is actually a college entrance exam top scorer!

This news overturned Chen Yong's worldview.

A student can actually create a game that sweeps the nation?

And this student is also a top scholar?

That's bad enough, but more importantly…

This Lu Yu is actually only seven years old?

Chen Yong doesn't know how long it took him to accept this news.

Then Chen Yong couldn't help but go online to search for information about Lu Yu.

Afterwards, he learned about Penguin and Hero Kill.

A strategy-type card game?

Made by Lu Yu?

Chen Yong hesitated a moment, downloaded a Penguin, then opened the game center.

Right!

Perfect—today is the release time for Hero Kill!

After opening the game center, Chen Yong easily saw Hero Kill, then saw the main promotional poster's Zhuge Liang.

Female version of Zhuge Liang?

What the heck is this?

So disrespectful of tradition?

Chen Yong still endured it.

His purpose has now changed.

He wants to find the game's loopholes, judge the game, and make everyone stop playing it.

Chen Yong even wants to meet Lu Yu, to persuade him to abandon the gaming industry, focus on study, not waste his talent, and contribute to the country.

With that thought, Chen Yong glanced at Hero Kill's game rules.

Hero Kill's rules are actually simple.

Opening procedure: choose a general, draw cards, start phase, judgment phase, draw phase, play phase, discard phase, end phase.

Victory/defeat judgment:

1. Lord wins: when rebels and traitors are all dead while the lord survives, then the lord and loyalists win. Other identities count as loss.

2. Loyalist wins: if the lord wins, then the loyalists also win. Other identities count as loss.

3. Rebel wins: if any rebel survives and the lord dies, then the rebels win. Other identities count as loss; if all rebels are dead, and a traitor or loyalist kills the lord, then the rebels win. Other identities count as loss.

4. Traitor wins: the traitor must first kill everyone except the lord, then finally kill the lord. (If there are two traitors on the field, the traitor must kill the other before killing the lord, so only one traitor can win. If the last two traitors survive, it counts as a rebel win.) Other identities count as loss.

Chen Yong is an intellectual; just a brief glance and he already understood it fully.

Then he started the game.

In the first game, Chen Yong was assigned the role of lord.

The lord's identity is public, so everyone knows he is the lord.

Next, his task is to find the traitors.

Isn't that simple enough?

As long as someone attacks him when the time comes, Professor Chen will naturally know who is the rebel and who is the traitor.

But...

After the whole game, Professor Chen realized it wasn't that simple!

The insider will deliberately protect him, giving him a false impression.

The rebel will even stir up trouble, framing loyal subjects and attacking them!

After this round of the game, Professor Chen was a bit dazed!

Then...

He started the second round.

This time, Chen Yong gained some insight, carefully observing everyone's words and deeds, cautiously guarding his identity.

Then... Chen Yong won!

At the moment the final identity was revealed, Chen Yong, who was the rebel, couldn't help but smile.

Then he started the next game.

When Chen Yong felt tired and stretched a big yawn, he happened to see the time displayed on the computer.

1:36!

Good thing, he had only played for a little over an hour.

Then...

Chen Yong froze again, because he discovered his room had gone dark.

No!

It wasn't his room that had gone dark; it was the outside sky that had darkened.

In other words, it wasn't 1:36 p. m. anymore, but 1:36 a. m.

He, Chen Yong, the professor who usually hated games the most, actually...

He had actually played a game without realizing it, for a full thirteen hours!

At that moment, Chen Yong felt as if his soul had left his body.

He didn't understand, didn't understand what had happened.

How could he become addicted to the game?

Chen Yong stared blankly at the computer screen.

Then Chen Yong saw a line of text appear in the chat box.

"Brother, are you still coming? Hurry up."

It was the friend who had just played the game together urging Chen Yong.

Chen Yong instinctively reached out his hand, skillfully grabbed the mouse, and then effortlessly clicked the ready button.

A new round of Hero Kill began again.

Chen Yong no longer had time to think about why he liked this game.

He had long since forgotten the original purpose of playing the game.

This is Hero Kill!

Its charm is so sharp that it can make people forget everything!

At the very least, once you start liking this game, it's truly impossible to stop.

Chen Yong is not an exception; nowadays, so many people, just like him, after coming into contact with Hero Kill, can no longer forget it.

In the shortest time, Hero Kill has become one of the hottest games today!
