Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch - Chapter 647
Chapter 647: Chapter 614: This is not quite what I had in mind…
[This will be a terrifying night…]
“???” Looking at the unusual system prompt, the four thugs were stunned.
“Why does it feel, somewhat familiar?” San Tiao felt this scene was quite familiar.
“If it didn’t feel familiar, it’d be strange. We were smashing Shadow Beads nearby before, and after smashing one, we got a prompt. After smashing the third one, we were directly attacked by the Eater of Worlds.” Liu Bing also recalled some unpleasant memories.
“Shall we stop for now? Or keep smashing and summon the BOSS directly? We’ve already defeated the Wall of Flesh, got new weapons and emblems, and the first BOSS is just a mess. ” Eighty Thousand suggested.
“Let’s be careful for now, store our stuff and then summon the BOSS. After all, we’ve collected some new ores along the way.” East Wind suggested.
“Alright, let’s go home first.”
Despite their confidence, the thugs went home to store their items.
Storing items, selling trash, and cleaning backpacks.
While selling trash, they noticed new items had appeared at the NPC, so they naturally had to study them.
Liu Bing, who had opened a Clockwork Assault Rifle from the treasure bag, was studying the new shotgun from the arms dealer comparing it with his assault rifle to see which one was more powerful when he suddenly heard a fast-paced electronic tune.
Liu Bing was stunned for a moment before realizing, “Damn! A BOSS appeared?! Who smashed the altar again?!”
“Not me.”
“I didn’t either.”
“I definitely didn’t!”
They all claimed their innocence.
——This was a misconception.
After defeating the Wall of Flesh, entering Hard Mode, and smashing the first evil altar, as long as none of the three mechanical bosses were defeated, each night had a 10% chance of a random one spawning naturally.
The Mechanical Triplets are the upgraded versions of the previous Eye of Cthulhu, Eater of Worlds, and King of Skeletons BOSS.
Moreover, each mechanical BOSS would give different system prompts before spawning.
The system prompt the thugs encountered [This will be a terrifying night…] corresponded to ——
A demonic eye broke through the wall and flew straight into Liu Bing’s line of sight.
As the BGM “reminded” him, the now-alert Liu Bing wouldn’t easily get hit. He swiftly performed a Double Jump to dodge and rushed out of the house.
While activating Frost Flower Boots to quickly ascend and dash towards their previous battleground, Liu Bing warned his teammates with a chuckle:
“No big issue, it’s still just the eye, easy money!”
“I see it, a fireball-shooting eye, how rare.”
“A fireball? I don’t see one?” Liu Bing looked back, “Isn’t it shooting lasers? Damn!”
Liu Bing left the house’s line of sight and, from higher ground, realized:
Behind that demonic eye, a thick red nerve connecting to another demonic eye!
Two eyeballs, this was — the Demon Eye Twins!
“Disgusting, doubly disgusting!” Liu Bing was still calm, even finding the time to mock the ugliness of the BOSS.
In the past, they could all beat the Eye of Cthulhu individually, but now, even though there was an extra eyeball, there were four of them!
“Be careful, don’t get reckless.” Eighty Thousand and East Wind rushed out of the house.
“No problem, advantage is ours, 4 against 2!”
The developments really aligned with Liu Bing’s expectations:
Although both eyes dealt high damage — the Laser Eye’s laser hurt even more than the Wall of Flesh’s, and the fireball emitted from the Magmeye’s magmablaze dealt even higher damage.
Anyone hit by either would lose a quarter of their health instantly.
However, with their agile reflexes and excellent positioning, they avoided most of the damage and focused on attacking the Magmeye.
After a fierce battle, the Magmeye’s health was successfully halved, and then, as expected, it transformed — the iris of the eye shattered, revealing a terrifying mouth.
However, this time the mouth had steel teeth!
Of course, the steel teeth weren’t its most terrifying weapon. After the Magmeye transformed, its “Magmablaze” was strengthened to an epic level, no longer just spewing Magmablaze Fireballs, but continuously spraying Magmablaze!
The fierce Magmablaze erupted in the night sky, covering a large cone-shaped area in front of the BOSS, comparable to a dragon’s breath!
Both of them couldn’t dodge in time and were instantly set aflame, their health dropping rapidly.
But it wasn’t over yet!
The giant maw constantly spewed flames while rapidly moving toward several thugs, determined to burn people to death.
“Dragon Breath without cool down?? That’s cheating!” Liu Bing narrowly grazed past the cone-shaped demonic flame, complaining loudly, only to see the second phase of the demonic flame eye perform an on-the-spot large rotation!
The original cone-shaped demonic flame instantly followed the rotation, covering all directions around the BOSS. Liu Bing and East Wind couldn’t dodge and could only helplessly be ignited.
As soon as the Demonic Flame Eye was successful in its attack, it didn’t stop, chasing them while constantly circling around, turning into a madly spinning fire tornado.
The four people fled in panic, but in less than three seconds, they all reached their health limit, dying on the spot.
Even Liu Bing, who was lucky enough to rush off the platform and not be burned to death by the demonic flames in the first place, was easily dispatched by a laser beam from the Laser Eye as it chased him down.
At the moment he hit the ground, he had already turned into a cross-shaped tombstone.
The battle finally ended.
The Demon Eye Twins emitted a demonic laughter mixed with electronic reverberations, laughing while leaving triumphantly.
From the moment the Demonic Flame Eye entered the second phase until their four-person team was wiped out, less than 8 seconds had passed…
The four of them fell silent.
The audience in the live broadcast room was delighted:
“”Surrender the Cash””
“”No Big Problem””
“”4v2, Advantage is Ours””
…
These words were all from Liu Bing just a few minutes ago…
But now, Liu Bing could only dryly say, “This isn’t what I had in mind…”
His confidence had long since vanished, replaced by some doubt about his life choices.
“How about we call it quits for now?” San Tiao was also a little discouraged, “Let’s mine some resources, level up and update our equipment before trying again.”
“Alright, alright.” The others hurriedly nodded in agreement, and without even bidding farewell to the audience, they swiftly ended the live stream.
However, the audience wasn’t disappointed either. After posting a few more comments like “He chickened out,” they all left the live broadcast room to play their own games.
Many people had already started to follow the example of the thugs, planning to extinguish Hell and build a long “Obsidian Highway” to defeat the Wall of Flesh.
For many, tonight might be another sleepless night.

At this time, Lincoln and Camille Victoria were already waiting for their flight to take off.
Princess Camille Victoria was armed as usual, with a mask, hat, and sunglasses all in place. The accessory with “electronic counter-attack” function that Lincoln gave her was also pinned on her collar, never removed.
Lincoln was tapping on his mobile phone, sharing the group photo taken in front of the boxing gym online, helping to promote the Xu Family Boxing Gym.
Yue Pengju and Jordan were right behind them, both serious and unsmiling.
No one else was there – Lincoln had given Xu Chun and the others a week off so Xu Chun could spend more time with Old Dad. If the other experts wanted to learn, they could take the opportunity to try their luck.
That’s right, just try their luck.
Lincoln didn’t realize until today that in the Daxia Martial Arts Circle, even though the trend of friendly sparring and learning from one another was prevalent, seeking guidance from a grandmaster was never an easy matter.
Because there were simply too few Grandmasters.
If they didn’t set a high enough threshold, they wouldn’t be able to do anything else, just waiting every day for others to line up for a challenge.
Like him, suddenly showing up, having Matthew dropping everything to train him personally every day – and no matter what he said, Matthew would seriously consider it and try to satisfy his requests – this was a unique treatment.
Therefore, although Lincoln had given them a week off, it was uncertain whether any of them could ask for advice in that time, and whether they could benefit from it if they did.
However, this was a matter of the martial arts circle, which Lincoln couldn’t and didn’t plan to interfere with.
It was up to their luck.
As for himself, he was going to take Camille Victoria to fly to Chang’an to catch his next appointment.
