Top game producer

However, it seems some streamers have actually succeeded in the challenge.

In a fleeting cutscene, Scumbag Bro, controlling the macho man, jumps to the summit, embraces the princess under the beautiful sunset, and ecstatically celebrates in front of his computer.

"Let me tell you the truth, since beating the game yesterday until now, my heart hasn't calmed down. I, Scumbag Bro, might not be a gaming genius, and my talent isn't great, but I work hard, and there's no level I can't pass!"

After finishing the main content, he even challenged the more difficult DLC, declaring boldly, "You think I can't beat the DLC? I don't believe it! Watch me jump!"

The scene shifts.

Scumbag Bro is showing Six-Six a recording of his previous DLC challenge, his tone mournful: "Falling from level seven to level one. All the way down."

Six-Six: "I want to see the falling part."

Scumbag Bro drags the progress bar: "Here it is."

The background map is the gray and white ruins of a classical palace, the macho man squats down for a jump, trying to reach a higher platform on the other side.

However, after jumping, he doesn't have enough power, his head hits the edge of the platform, and he plummets seven levels in the drizzling rain.

In the dark green, dilapidated city, black spots are blown around by the strong wind.

He falls another five levels, arriving in an area shrouded in gray mist.

You can see in the recording that Scumbag Bro's mouth is wide open, speechless, as he collapses into his chair.

Six-Six laughs unkindly, then asks curiously, "So you climbed back to where you were from here?"

Scumbag Bro: "You think that's the end?"

The macho man jumps back twice, his footing gives way, Scumbag Bro turns his head, sadly covering his mouth.

He falls another six levels, returning from the gray mist area to a world of icy blue.

He jumps twice, then falls another six levels, returning from the upper layer of the icy blue world to the very bottom.

Six-Six laughs so hard she bends over, then asks, "Is it over?"

Scumbag Bro shakes his head calmly: "Not yet."

The macho man crashes headfirst into an ice-covered iron cage, continuing to fall one level, returning to the snow-covered dark blue map.

Six-Six immediately clutches her stomach and laughs again: "So you jumped all the way back from here?"

Scumbag Bro: "There's more. Mid-level of the first stage."

In the recording, many viewers are spamming the screen with comments.

"Holy crap, where did he fall to..."

"Ultimate regression."

"Scumbag Bro is covered in sweat..."

"His mind is unclear."

"Mental breakdown."

"Stop playing, please, I'm begging you."

"I think you've lost your mind."

Six-Six laughs until tears come out of her eyes, "Sixteen hours to jump there, and then suddenly, five minutes to come back. Is that the end?"

Scumbag Bro shakes his head: "Not home yet. There's another map."

As he speaks, the macho man falls three more levels from the middle of the first stage, returning to the real first level, "the place where the dream began."

In the recording, Scumbag Bro clutches his head, his eyes filled with despair, hoarsely crying out: "I'm home!!!"

Tian Dou was laughing at first, but watching the macho man fall all the way down, watching Scumbag Bro's desperate eyes, she couldn't laugh anymore.

She felt a faint ache in her heart.

Countless jumps to climb to the summit, spending so much energy, putting in so much effort, all washed away in a moment.

Is effort really meaningful?

Tian Dou couldn't help but think of herself.

Originally, she could have chosen an easier path, found a job related to her major, earned a little money, found a boyfriend, and had a sweet and sour romance.

But for a vague writer's dream, she stays at home in a rented room of less than ten square meters, never going out, burying herself in writing, eating stir-fried cabbage with pork for lunch every day, and noodles with soy sauce for dinner—the noodles come in a big two-yuan bag, and last time a rat visited the kitchen, gnawing a hole in the outside of the bag, but she wasn't even interested in eating it.

Every day is like this.

But if effort is meaningless, is it worth enduring these hardships?

Tian Dou looked at the macho man on the screen, unable to get up from the snow, and suddenly felt very wronged, her eyes a little sore, wanting to cry.

The BGM quietly appeared, like a snow lotus seed buried deep in the glacier, silently growing and sprouting in the bone-chilling cold.

"And then you went up again? Is that possible?" Six-Six turned her head back in disbelief, while Scumbag Bro's face was calm and relieved, and he nodded.

"Is it really possible to take off after experiencing such a change in mentality?" Six-Six showed a gentle, healing smile, somewhat emotional, "Maybe this is what they mean by 'when Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it always first frustrates his spirit and will, exhausts his muscles and bones, and starves his body.'"

In the tragic BGM, the macho man fell again and again, plummeting down.

In the icy blue world, in the gray mist-shrouded castle, in the dark green dilapidated city, in the ruins of the white palace...

Scumbag Bro repeated the process of falling countless times, staring blankly at the screen each time, desperately holding his forehead, covering his eyes with his hands.

On the screen, "Tears" and "zgnb" comments scrolled by.

In the snow-covered, dim dark blue map, there was a light spirit that looked like a butterfly, constantly flapping its wings.

It used its weak light to melt a corner of the snow, revealing the green grass below.

Above the green grass, a simple and elegant white flower grew, bathed in the light spirit's soft light, blooming alone in this icy, dark, and silent world.

Tian Dou's vision was a little blurry, her nose twitching, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Can a flower that has withered once bloom again?

Gradually, "Tears" disappeared, leaving only "zgnb!"

"zgnb!"

"zgnb!"

Scumbag Bro had lost count of how many times he had fallen, although he still felt extremely sad and painful every time he fell, lying in his chair for a long time without saying a word, but after feeling sad, his eyes became more and more firm: "Still, this game's biggest enemy is yourself."

In the heroic BGM, the macho man jumped up level by level.

Icy blue world, gray mist castle, dilapidated city, palace ruins...

Finally, he saw a new map.

A large snake coiled around the pillars, bubbles coming out of its head: "How interesting, he arrived here without any hesitation."

Scumbag Bro exhaled: "I'm Scumbag Bro, a... jumping king."

Underwater ruins covered in algae and kelp, a dark tower covered in vines.

This is the final level.

At the top of the dark tower, many purple flowers adorned an ancient tree, and the beautiful princess waited quietly for the macho man under the moonlight.

Amidst the dense "zgnb" comments that almost obscured the screen, Scumbag Bro excitedly waved his fists and roared: "I passed! I didn't fall, I passed! I passed, ahhhhh!!!"

The princess placed the crown on the macho man's head, and a celebratory illustration of clearing the game appeared.

The beautiful princess in a white dress, lying in the macho man's strong arms, embraced his neck with both hands, smiling sweetly, while the macho man made a "V" sign.

Tian Dou wiped away her tears and closed the video.

To see the most beautiful scenery, you must bravely face the most difficult challenges.

Effort is never in vain.

Everything you put in may not show results now, but it has unknowingly transformed into nourishment for growth.

"Come on, come on!"

Tian Dou cheered herself on, feeling that she had the motivation to write again!
