An hour and a half passed.Shen Yan couldn't smile anymore.It was too damn painful.The map design of Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy was very particular.It looked ordinary, but in reality, every section of the path had an angle designed to frustrate the player.Extending the arm too much wouldn't work, nor would extending it too little;Using too much force wouldn't work, nor would swinging the hammer too fast……In short, even the slightest mistake would send the player back to the starting point.Due to the abnormal System design, the probability of making mistakes was extremely high, and getting used to the controls wasn't something that could be achieved in a short time.Moreover, as the altitude increased, the difficulty of the Illusion Realm would continue to rise.For example, the hammer in Shen Yan's hand would suddenly become lighter or heavier, catching him off guard.In the Late Stage, it would even suddenly become larger or smaller, which was even more abnormal.Lu Ze, in his own words, called it “reaction training.”Therefore, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room became increasingly strange.“Oh no!”“Don’t…”“Stop!!!”“Oh no!!!”…The sounds were increasingly similar to an old acquaintance of Lu Ze’s from his previous life.The bullet comments in the live broadcast room offered comfort.【Shen True Disciple, how about we just call it a day?】【This is too difficult, too abnormal…】【What exactly is the background of that Lu Ze guy? Is he really from the Righteous Path??】【Suggest a thorough investigation!】“…No…I’m fine!”Shen Yan was still forcing a smile.There was no other way.With so many people watching in the live broadcast room, he had to grit his teeth and continue playing.People with heavy idol burdens were just different.At this point, he had already reached the Tianxuan Mountain section.This was the Orange Mountain from the original work in his previous life.The vertically steep terrain meant that even a slight deviation in angle would cause a fall.Every step Shen Yan took, he meticulously checked the angle for a long time, fearing even the slightest mistake.“It should hook here…”As soon as he swung his hammer, the hammer in his hand suddenly became much lighter.This resulted in the force being a bit too strong.Shen Yan was instantly flung away.Fortunately, he had fallen here many times before, and his positioning was still decent, so he ultimately landed on a small floating pavilion.Two more jumps up, and it would be Tianxuan Mountain.“That was close…”Shen Yan exhaled.Just then, the infuriating random weight struck again—the iron hammer in his hand suddenly became heavy!And it became very heavy!Shen Yan was already next to the pavilion, on that small, winding, and slippery section of stairs.Now, with the hammer pulling him down, his entire body instantly slipped.“???”Shen Yan was shocked.He desperately flailed his arms, trying to hook onto something in mid-air.However, it was all in vain.This position was too tricky; once he started falling, it would be a continuous fall!“Ahhhhhhhh!!!”A never-before-heard, shrill scream erupted from Shen Yan’s throat.“Hehehehe…”Lu Ze, in another room outside the Illusion °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° Realm, showed a joy he had never displayed before.Shen Yan’s hands flailed uselessly.Countless stairs, pavilions, trees, and rocks…All of them slowly moved upwards before his eyes.He didn't even hear the complete phrase “Come home often, come home often.”Everything happened so fast.“No…No!!!”Shen Yan’s eyes were wide, filled with terror and despair.This feeling, he had experienced it before.That’s right, he had experienced it more than once in "It Takes Two".But for some reason, in Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, this feeling of starting from zero and the despair that came with it was far more suffocating than the former.“Thud!”Shen Yan fell heavily to the ground.He looked around blankly.He was back in the all-too-familiar valley bottom.A sense of desolation arose from the depths of his heart, and he roared indignantly:“Gaia!!!!”……Outside the Illusion Realm.“Oh, wow, he’s that resilient?”Lu Ze marveled.Most people, after falling from Orange Mountain to the slide and then all the way back to their starting point, would have probably smashed their keyboards by now.This guy actually picked himself up again, ready to climb.It could only be said that he was indeed a Saint of the Righteous Path; his Dao Heart was truly solid.The torment of personally sitting in a pot as if in prison was far more disgusting than moving a mouse on a computer.After all, Lu Ze not only designed the System inside but also added some settings conducive to sudden events.It was all about torment.He even, unlike when he made "It Takes Two" before, didn't replace each fall with death.The reason was simple.Death would disperse the sense of frustration brought by failure.“I failed, so I died.”This was a natural thought.Players would naturally view death as a punishment for failure, thereby dispersing the frustration of failure.But it was different if the player stayed alive the whole time.So Lu Ze didn't design a death mechanic as before; his goal was to break Shen Yan to the greatest extent possible.Tens or hundreds of Demonic Path points were negligible compared to the System upgrade.If the player’s ascent was likened to accumulating “wealth” in a game, then the falling process was the process of throwing away the painstakingly accumulated “wealth” little by little.The most outrageous part of this process was that the player had to personally witness everything they had painstakingly built being discarded little by little…It was simply killing someone’s spirit.Of course, this design also existed in "It Takes Two", but it was far less intense than in Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy.Because in "It Takes Two", players had 3 teammates.Firstly, the laughter and joy among three good friends would dilute this despair.Secondly, knowing that there were other unlucky people experiencing the same thing would make one feel a bit better psychologically.Most importantly, most players would feel that someone in the team didn't do well, and the problem wasn't with themselves.Therefore, this sense of frustration was far less intense than in Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy.“Oh? Still going?”Seeing Shen Yan’s resolute gaze, Lu Ze raised an eyebrow.He knew that the other party was already at the end of his rope.Because the task progress bar had already shot up to eighty percent.Just one more big push, and even Shen Yan should break.Thinking of the snow mountain map after Tianxuan Mountain, Lu Ze was even more amused.There, he had prepared a pit specifically for Shen Yan.
