Brothers, here I come! As a social worker who squeezes into the subway during the morning rush hour every day, only has a one-hour lunch break, and has to work overtime at night, are you the same as me, who want to play games but always feel that there is no time? 😭 It wasn't until I recently dug up “The Lord of the Eight Desolations” that I discovered that MMOs can be so suitable for workers!
Let me talk about my situation first: it takes 40 minutes to take the subway during the morning rush hour, and I have about 20 minutes left after lunch break. When I get home in the evening, I am basically paralyzed and don't want to move. In the past, I played those serious games, clocked in online every day, and did regular activities, which made me even more tired than going to work. Later, I simply gave up. But the game "Master of the Eight Desolations" is really different. It is perfectly stuck in my fragmented time.
During my morning commute, I use it to complete the main quests. This game has an on-hook function, which automatically finds paths and fights monsters with one click. I can operate it with one hand, and I can hold on to the subway handrail with the other hand. Moreover, you will be given a large amount of gold coins at the beginning, and you will get ten times the rebate on the first deposit (although I don't spend money, the gold coins from free prostitution are enough for me to buy medicine and equipment), plus free VIP privileges, it is really fun to kill monsters and explode gold coins. Half an hour in the morning can eliminate a large plot, and the level will increase rapidly.
What should I do during the 20 minutes of lunch break? Use it to fight BOSS! The BOSS refresh time in the game is not too underworld, and I can just catch up with a few wild BOSS at noon. Although you can't team up with people from the guild to fight difficult ones, you can take on some small bosses alone without any problem. And the Yuan Shen system is particularly interesting. The mage I chose can summon a Yuan Shen to fight together, which is equivalent to two outputs, and the speed of beating the BOSS is doubled. Yuan Shen can also inherit my attack power. After raising the realm, the percentage attribute bonus is huge. It feels like bringing a small bodyguard. 👍
If I don't work too hard at night, I will set up a stall and sell equipment for a few minutes. There are a lot of things you can get by killing monsters in this game, and non-binding equipment and materials can be traded. Our service has the most people at eight or nine in the evening. I put the goods I bought during the day on the shelves, and I can see the ingots coming in the next morning, which is very satisfying. It's equivalent to "working" in the game during the day and collecting rent at night, hahaha.
By the way, I picked up the Legendary Medal and Dragon Soul systems in the game on the subway. The materials needed to upgrade the medal will be dropped when you fight monsters. Once you save enough, you will be upgraded to a level. I was even more surprised by the clones unlocked by Dragon Soul. Both the demon warrior and the spirit gun clones can help fight. When a handicap like me can't handle it, two clones plus a soul can fight four against one. It's not too fun. 🤣
Finally, let's talk about social interaction. We adults pay attention to efficiency when playing games and don't want to waste time chatting. The gang system of "Eight Desolations Lord" is pretty good. You can join with just one click and you can get benefits by joining a gang. Normally, everyone doesn't do much forced socializing. They just shout when fighting the boss, or bargain with each other on prices when setting up stalls. If I have time on the weekend, I can go push the World BOSS with the big guys in the guild, and the dividends from the dropped items will be enough to keep me entertained for a whole week.
All in all, this game is really designed for us workers: the starting benefits are enough, hanging up is worry-free, the BOSS is exciting enough, and it doesn't force you to go online. Now I take out my mobile phone once every day during my commute, lunch break, and before going to bed, and I easily play on the server. My colleagues all ask me why I have so much energy. I don't have any energy, it's just a matter of choosing the right game! 😏
If you are also an office worker and want to experience a passionate MMO in your spare time, you can really try "The Lord of the Eight Desolations". No worries, we can all be heroes on the way home from get off work! Just rush and that's it! 💪
