Chapter 123 This thing is way too powerful!
The video's comment section was immediately flooded with questions from viewers.
"If I buy the Storm Set from the Mysterious Merchant, will I be able to go out and explore when a storm comes?"
"That seems to be the case. I'm still quite curious about what monsters will spawn during the storm phase, and what loot we can get after killing them."
"I remember the storm was divided into two phases, right? There should be different requirements for moving around in different phases. Also, according to some data mining videos, the final map of the game is the storm zone, which should also be related to the storm phases."
"Just wondering, does anyone know how to obtain space crystals? I've looked at several maps, but the quest is stuck here..."
The video didn't stop because of the comments. On screen, when the player's mouse moved over the Storm Work Helmet and Storm Work Suit, the attributes of the two pieces of equipment appeared in front of the viewers.
They add +1 to body protection and +1 to head protection respectively. To be honest, the protective capabilities of both pieces of equipment are very poor, equivalent to a level 1 head armor.
However, the special attribute that is added is the foundation of these two pieces of equipment.
Each piece of equipment provides 0.5 Storm Protection, which together provides 1 point of Storm Protection, enough for players to venture out during the first phase of a storm without continuously losing health.
However, by the second phase of the storm, the protective capabilities of this set became somewhat insufficient.
Of course, most Escape from Chickenkov players are unaware of this.
The video abruptly ended after the player in the video spent tens of thousands of in-game currency to purchase the Storm Work Set.
Clearly, in order to release the video about the mysterious merchant in the warehouse district cellar as soon as possible, the video creators did not have time to produce a video of wearing storm work suits and going out during the storm.
In Escape from Chickenkov, the interval between each storm phase is more than three hours in the real world.
However, to ensure a better gaming experience for players, players can use the ability to sleep to quickly pass through the storm phase.
Therefore, some viewers, after watching the video, did not choose to log in and play the game themselves, but instead followed the video account first.
They knew the owner of the video account would soon be producing a video of someone wearing storm work gear and venturing out during the first phase of a storm.
It is precisely because of these viewers who are unwilling to play the game that this video uploader, despite only posting a slightly rough video, still gained over a thousand followers.
With a poorly produced video that didn't even have background music or narration, he garnered millions of views and attracted thousands of followers to his account.
This is enough to show the incredible traffic and popularity of the game "Escape from Chickenkov".
Besides those viewers who were unwilling to play the game themselves, many others logged into the Steam platform and started playing immediately after watching the video.
However, within minutes, many people returned and posted comments under the video, asking how to find the cellar key and the key to the cellar branch.
When Starcard created Escape from Chickenkov, it basically followed the original setting. Apart from the lab room key and two mysterious keys, the drop rate of the other keys was not very low.
Players can often find quite a few keys by simply searching a few clothes and drawers.
However, when these people pinpointed the dungeon key and the dungeon branch key, they immediately realized how low the drop rate was.
On platforms like Yinpu, Manjiao, Bilibili, and even in some streamers' live streams, you can see players of Escape from Chickenkov constantly spamming comments and bullet screens saying things like "Star cards increase the drop rate of dungeon keys and dungeon branch key."
At this time, the appearance of a video made players' desire to obtain the Storm Work Set even stronger.
The account that posted the video was the same one that first posted the location of the mysterious merchant in the warehouse area on Bilibili.
Just one hour after the first video was posted, the account owner quickly produced the second video.
Compared to the first video, the second video still has no background music, and the picture quality is also very rough.
However, the second video at least has an extra line of subtitles at the bottom, which is an improvement.
"Dear viewers, based on my experiments, the Stormwear Set only allows players to go outside during the first phase of the Storm."
"When the storm reaches its second phase, the 1 point of storm protection provided by the storm work suit will not be enough, and you will need to return to base or inject additional space protection."
The video feed displayed an image of a low-efficiency space storm protection needle.
A blue-quality injection that costs over a thousand dollars, and its effectiveness lasts only 120 seconds.
Most people who find this syringe either choose to sell it for in-game currency or hoard it in their inventory.
In the early stages of the game, no one would be willing to spend over a thousand in-game currency to inject a vial that only lasts for 120 seconds.
Naturally, no one noticed that during the first phase of the storm, simply injecting this one dose would grant 120 seconds of free movement time.
After briefly introducing issues related to space storm protection, the video switched to footage outside the base.
During the first phase of the storm, the game environment appears as if a thick cloud of purple smoke is rising. In addition, when the space storm arrives, even during the day, the light intensity will decrease to the level of night.
Therefore, the pitch-black environment, coupled with the purple smoke permeating the surroundings, subtly created an atmosphere of terrifying silence.
Several viewers left amazed comments in the video's live chat.
I'm amazed that if Starcard wanted to make horror games, they would definitely be experts at creating atmosphere and ambiance.
In the video, the subtitles slowly appeared at the bottom.
"Whether it's the first or second phase of the storm, corrupted storm monsters will spawn on the map. These storm monsters are very fast and deal a lot of damage. In addition, the protection provided by the storm work suit is very poor, so you need to be very careful."
As the subtitles faded, the chicks arrived at a house in the scene.
As soon as a voiceprint appeared, the player in the video immediately shifted their perspective.
Within a narrow, fan-shaped visible area, a storm monster radiating purple light appeared.
When the player discovers the storm monster, the storm monster also discovers the chicken controlled by the player.
The next second, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of viewers watching online simultaneously, the storm monster, radiating purple light, rushed towards the player in the video at an extremely fast speed.
Immediately afterwards, a damage number of '-44' popped up on the chicken controlled by the player.
"Holy crap, one attack took away almost half of his health?"
"This thing called the Storm Monster is way too overpowered!"
"Star Card! Is the Storm Monster even playable without being nerfed?!"
