Build a game empire from scratch

Most of the players in the first tier of "A Quiet Place" were still staring in the third chapter, with their eyes bulging like goldfish and full of bloodshot eyes.

Only a very small number of players who adopted the [Da Vinci Sleep Method], had super strong liver power, super courage, and tough enough nerves entered the fourth chapter [Do Not Touch].

Before this, players seldom paid attention to the element of [nervous toughness].

But in "A Quiet Place", Yunmeng started telling horror stories and put all kinds of extreme pressure on her. If her nerves were not strong enough, it would be difficult to continue the story in multiple chapters.

Because the psychological pressure is too great!

The players who are entering the fourth chapter now are, in some respects, talented people with extremely strong ability to withstand pressure!

But no matter how good your potential is, your energy is limited.

Therefore, there is only one player who has passed [Don’t Touch] for the time being.

After all, the game environment of "Don't Touch" is quite bad, and it is the first plant-type "monster".

To be more precise: it is a highly poisonous alien plant. Not only is it highly poisonous, it will kill you if you touch it, but it can also spread highly toxic spores in the wind.

In this chapter, the streets are filled with blooming flowers.

Whether it is the reinforced concrete walls of high-rise buildings, the cracked asphalt pavement, or the long-dead people on the street who are still standing, they have not hindered the blooming of these flowers.

Big flowers bloom on each corpse, which is both beautiful and terrifying.

The flowers blooming on the corpse seemed to be fully nourished, blooming fuller and more colorful than the plants in other places.

Abandoned vehicles have been turned into iron boxes. Alien plants "break out of the ground" from the driver's body, grow all over the iron box, and then stubbornly break out of the car roof and bloom in the sun.

It looked like someone threw a "seed bomb" into the car, and the flowers that exploded instantly expanded and burst the entire car.

The exuberant vitality is right in front of you.

But for humans, this strong vitality represents a fatal crisis!

Any negligence may lead to death.

If you can go around, go around. If you can't go around, just wrap yourself up in three layers, and then rush over as fast as possible.

But it's not over yet.

An outrageous situation is——

Humans will die if they touch this flower. If they inhale the invisible spores in the air, they will be poisoned and die slowly. But animals are strangely resistant to this alien plant.

Therefore, when passing through dangerous areas, one or two beasts with flowers on their bodies, fearless of pain, and full of desire to attack will rush out from time to time!

Super difficult.

After all, as long as they are slightly careless and the protective clothing is torn by them, it is almost impossible to escape the ending of poisoning.

The task of the players is to escort a little girl who has antibodies and dares to make garlands of this deadly alien plant and wear it for fun, through the fallen city to an underground research institute that is said to be researching vaccines.

This chapter also has multiple endings.

Just send the little girl to the institute, and then either sacrifice the little girl to research vaccines, kill the scientists doing human experiments and run away with the little girl, or seize control of the institute and force them to try to be more conservative. The research methods...are all considered as clearance.

Although the difficulty varies greatly between different choices, in the final analysis, Yunmeng still leaves the choice to the players.

The player who is currently the most advanced player in the world and an avid fan of the horror genre [Seven Nights], because he played too much and stayed online for too long, his mind was not so clear that he ignored several obvious hints and accidentally fell into the trap. Handed the little girl over.

Only when I saw the subsequent ending animation did I realize: this so-called vaccine research will cost the life of a little girl.

He regretted it very much, but now that the matter had come to this, he could only comfort himself that it was for the sake of righteousness, and he would look back and save people again.

——After clearing the level, if you want to change the ending, you have to start over.

But when he found out that the fifth chapter [Death Vote] was stuck and required 100 people to unlock it, he almost climbed out of the game room and gave himself a big fight.

He held back.

Because he is looking forward to the next chapter of the story.

But after waiting for a full 10 minutes, the (1/100) progress bar did not change at all.

Qiye sighed helplessly and went offline to catch up on his sleep.

——He was able to reach the top of the world not because he was competing for the first pass of the game. He just purely liked this game theme and played it too much. In addition, his mental endurance and courage were strong enough, so he unknowingly Traveled so far.

After setting an alarm clock for 4 hours, Qiye fell asleep.

Then when he opened his eyes again, 7 hours had passed.

And he didn't hear the alarm clock at all...

After filling his stomach, he hurriedly went online and saw that the fifth chapter had been unlocked.

In this case, the next step is of course to start playing!

After sleeping and eating for seven nights, I entered the game in the best condition and was mentally prepared to face a new round of difficult challenges.

But after entering the game, he quickly discovered——

This chapter is completely different from the previous four chapters!

He woke up in darkness.

While sitting upright, Qiye noticed that there seemed to be many people lying around in a mess.

As he stood up, these people also woke up and got up from the ground.

A weak light source appeared not far away.

Looking at the shape, it looks like a jet black sphere with some silvery white light spots scattered on it, a bit like - a miniature spherical universe?

"Dang!!"

The device starts up.

A white circle of light lit up at everyone's feet at the same time, illuminating the surrounding environment.

With this light, Qiye discovered that there were far more people here than he expected!

A group of people stood in the circle of light at their feet, standing in a circle around the black ball in the center that looked like a miniature universe.

Between the people in the front row and the black ball, there are red arrows pointing to the black ball in the center.

Qiye turned around and looked behind him, only to find that there was still endless darkness behind him.

They seemed to be suddenly transported to a separate space.

"What is this place?"

"The development team is getting more and more outrageous! Don't they even bother to create scenes?"

"There are alien creatures in the previous chapters. According to this guess, we are not captured by aliens now, are we? Are we in an alien spacecraft?"

"So are we going to find a way to escape?"

"What is that black ball?"

"What do those arrows mean?"

…

The scene immediately turned into a market, and everyone began to chatter and discuss.

Qiye looked left and right, and finally understood:

The co-writing scene is full of players?

This chapter wasn't unlocked before because I couldn't find anyone to play with?

Do you need 100 players to start the game?

While he was thinking, he observed other players and found that the skin colors were very mixed. It seemed that players from all over the world were gathered in one game.

What does the name of the fifth chapter - [Death Vote] mean?

Before he could think clearly, a black man spoke: "That black ball seems to be a good thing."

After saying that, he quickly stepped away from the light circle at his feet, trying to grab the black ball.

But at the moment when his feet stepped out of the circle of light, all the light sources turned into deep red at the same time and flickered rapidly.

A strong electric current passed through his body instantly!

"boom!"

The black man fell down heavily and died suddenly on the spot.

This sudden death made everyone's heart beat hard.

The environment that was as lively as a vegetable market just now suddenly became audible.

[Rule 1: Both feet cannot leave the aperture range]

Everyone was quiet for a moment, and after making sure there were no more chain reactions, they started a new round of discussion.

Three minutes later, before everyone could discuss the reason, the light source turned red and flashed again. An Indian player who was nodding vigorously and saying "nonono" was suddenly struck by electricity and fell to the ground dead.

[Rule 2: Death shock, once every three minutes]

Qiye silently concluded in his heart.

At the same time, he also noticed a detail: whenever he looked at someone, an arrow would appear outside the aperture, pointing to the person he was paying attention to.

Linked to the name [Death Vote], Qiye quickly came up with a guess:

"Should the people at the scene vote for each other, and the person with the most votes will die, and we will see who can survive to the end, right?"

Qiye decided to give it a try secretly.

He focused on a very conspicuous bald white man, and at the same time said "vote" silently in his mind.

Sure enough, an arrow appeared outside the aperture, and when he decided to vote, the arrow also changed from colorless to red.

But at this moment, he discovered that there was a strange player six seats away from him in the same row who looked very much like a Daxia native. A red arrow also appeared in front of him.

At the same time, the other party also discovered him.

The two people looked at each other without saying anything.

Qiye indicated his target to him with his eyes.

The old man nodded and changed his vote to the bald white man without saying a word.

The three-minute countdown ended, and as the red light flashed, the bald man instantly fell to the ground and died.

But this time, the scene did not become silent.

Although it was still a bit sudden, everyone just exclaimed and looked away. They were doing what they were doing before and continued to do it after that, with little impact.

——With amazing adaptability, everyone has become accustomed to the current situation where "someone may suddenly die just as we are chatting."

Players are just so outrageous.

However, in the crowd, Qiye looked at the cooperating player and nodded to confirm his idea.

[Rule 3: Each person has one vote, the person with the highest number of votes dies]

"If that's really the case..."

Qiye shifted his gaze and looked at the three players who attracted the most attention in the crowd——

Mario Pumissat, Eika, and...Ayi.

Three game anchors from three countries.

Their visibility can be helpful if you want to get people to vote.

But at the same time, having a relatively high reputation can easily attract criticism.

——Not to mention the early days, even now, if a well-known player enters the [Free Mode] public map of Metropolis and Night City, he will still be chased and shot by many players while shouting "Idol, I am yours" Fans!”

Even if there is no conflict of interest, now this kind of popularity can be turned into a weapon to directly attack other people. If you are not careful, you will become the target of public criticism.

This is a double-edged sword!

Qiye was very confused.

His first thought was, of course, "protect our anchor and kill the other anchor at the same time."

As for how to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy?

Of course, it depends on nationality, skin color, and race. Although it is a bit nationalistic to say this, this is the natural way to divide camps.

Thinking of this, Qiye couldn't help but think: Yunmeng is too bold!

This environment and this gameplay can easily lead to players participating in it to form crazy gangs and attack each other.

This is still uncertain how many people will win in the end.

If only one person can survive in the end, then there will also be a part in the intrigue and backstabbing among our own people.

Just thinking about it makes Qiye feel very dizzy.

What was even more troublesome was that before he could think it through, a player revealed the matter——

"I know! We can vote on who gets to die! That's what that arrow is for!"

The scene was quiet for a moment, and then immediately became ten times noisier than before!

Eika reacted quickly and began to take advantage of the well-known anchor: "Friends! Listen to me, let's vote out the Russians first, okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several white people raised their hands in response, most of them his fans.

After a few people responded, more white people raised their hands.

"Fart!" an old man suddenly shouted, "Listen to me, of all the people here, only one country has issued a ban on Yunmeng and does not allow the virtual world to enter!"

"Everyone knows which country I'm talking about!"

"Shouldn't we vote them out first?!"

Cold sweat broke out on Eika's forehead immediately.

This is a huge flaw.

Now it is true that America is the only one in the world who has a ban on Yunmeng - even Persia abolished the ban a while ago!

"You can't blame us! We've been marching and protesting too!" Eika quickly explained, "It's all that shit... I mean, it's all done by government officials!"

"We spent more money to buy equipment than ordinary players! We also spent extra network agency fees, and finally overcame the difficulties to enter the virtual world! We are a vulnerable group! You still exclude us, which is immoral!"

Eika is worthy of being a well-known game anchor and the regular conductor of the peak battle of "Battlefield". She is not just a talker.

Not only did he quickly refute other people's attacks, but he also seized the opportunity to sell the enemy, which successfully swayed many players.

But before he could strike while the iron was hot and continue to perform, Ayi joined in: "I also support the idea of ​​​​the Russian brothers. Let's get rid of the old Americans first!"

Eika was so angry that her eyes were on fire: "It's immoral for you to do this!"

A Yi: "I have no morals!"

"Hahaha!" Several Asian faces burst into laughter instantly, and then they all voted for Eika.

More Asian players followed immediately.

The Russian brothers have long locked Eika.

Then, the Middle Eastern players wearing headscarves and the Indian players shaking their heads in agreement also voted for Eika.

Eika looked at a black man with shock and anger: "You vote for me too?!"

Black man: "I'm African, not American."

"???" Eika was shocked, "Fuck! You have such a fucking Florida accent, do you think I can't hear it?!!"

…

Listening to the heated debates, or in other words, quarrels among several waves of people, Qiye felt a little tired.

"What about the horror theme you agreed on?"

"Why did it suddenly turn into a debate conference!?"

Two in one.

I just discovered that during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, I didn’t even have a day off...
