Chapter 122 Game Public 3

After Ling Changye finished speaking, there was a brief silence of one or two seconds in the group, and then a heated discussion broke out.

"Yes, yes, yes! I think it's okay! The death penalty means death anyway, so why not let them fight it out in the game?"

"Yes, if I am sentenced to death, I might as well die in an exciting way. I would be willing to participate."

"If they don't want to go, we can't force them to go. If they do, public opinion will come down on them..."

"The captain said that if we volunteer, there will always be volunteers."

They discussed for a while before Ling Changye said, "If they can come out of the game, they will be players. We can reduce their sentences by letting them enter the game. Entering a game can reduce their sentences by a few years."

Hua Haoming sent a text message: [It’s a good idea, but it may not be easy to implement.]

Ling Changye also sent a more obvious text message: [Then I'll have to trouble the Minister to discuss this with the External Relations Department.]

Soon there were many messages in the group.

[Then I'll have to trouble the Minister to discuss this with the External Relations Department.]

[Then I'll have to trouble the Minister to discuss this with the External Relations Department.]

[Thank you for your hard work, Minister Yan~]

…

Yan Song: “…”

What did he do to deserve this? Even Erwa sent a message!

Yan Song privately sent a message to Ling Changye: [Captain Ling, this is too much.]

Ling Changye: [Minister, you are going too far. Xia Bai doesn't know anything. Isn't it enough that he is willing to enter Dahui No. 2 Middle School?]

Yan Song: [I think you are overthinking. I just asked casually and didn’t want him to take responsibility.]

Ling Changye: [Yeah.]

Yan Song: [What does “hmm” mean?]

Ling Changye: [Yeah.]

Yan Song: “…”

After the discussion, Hua Haoming called Xia Bai and said, "Didn't you say the other day that it would be embarrassing if we brought too few people out? Why did you suggest that again? The more top students go, the more talented people will come out, right?"

Xia Bai: "You just know that top students have a higher chance of passing? Besides, face is not that important."

Hua Haoming: "I knew it. Next time the minister asks you this kind of question, don't say anything nonsense. No matter where you say you'll transfer people from, you'll have to take responsibility, and you might be hated by that group of people."

Xia Bai was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay."

After Hua Haoming's reminder, Xia Bai stopped caring about the selection of people. He just tried his best to do what he could, which was to draw talismans.

Before the selection plan was finalized, the live broadcast of Hua Haoming and his team's beauty salon game map began.

The live broadcast starts with the Operations Department releasing a bounty mission in the Player Communication Center, showing the audience every step of conquering a game map.

Jiang Yitong and Jiang Qingfeng watched it very seriously at home, and Xia Bai also watched it with them to get an idea of ​​what the public live broadcast was like.

The live broadcast location is currently at the Game Management Bureau headquarters, where only bounty missions are posted, and Hua Haoming and his team are not there. However, the Player Exchange Center, a place that ordinary people cannot access, is also enough to attract viewers.

The name of the game Fang Hua Beauty Salon sounds like it is related to corpses or ghosts, which immediately reminds Xia Bai of the plastic surgery program in the Underworld 101. No wonder Hua Haoming asked him for a corpse-suppressing talisman.

After the players were selected, they went from their respective cities to the city hotel where the beauty salon was located the next day and started playing the game on the third day.

Xia Bai saw in the live broadcast that the Fanghua Beauty Salon was crowded with people, layer upon layer, and there was no end in sight.

Xia Bai: “…”

He went to the study silently, and the pressure came back.

Just as he was walking towards the study, he heard a hoarse voice that penetrated the TV: "Yang Mei, I love you! I'm not a ghost!"

Xia Bai was stunned.

Jiang Qingfeng said: "It's even more exaggerated than the appearance of your company's stars."

"They are inherently more attractive than celebrities." Jiang Yitong said, "Humans admire the strong. They have such amazing abilities that celebrities are just like vases in comparison."

"Besides, look at Yang Mei, she looks just as good as a celebrity, so normal."

"In that case, wouldn't our Xiaobai be the most popular person?" Jiang Qingfeng asked with certainty.

"Yeah, Xiaobai is so cute. There is no one in our company who looks better than him." Jiang Yitong said.

The laughter in Jiang Qingfeng's voice was about to overflow, "Wow, I can't imagine how many people will like our Xiaobai."

Xia Bai walked into the study room with a dull and soulless look on his face.

After drawing twenty corpse-suppressing talismans, Hua Haoming and his friends had already emerged from the game. Their performance was very good, with ten people going in and seven coming out.

When they came out, the number of people watching the live broadcast broke the record in the history of live broadcasts, and countless people cheered. If it was a live broadcast room where gifts could be given, it would be able to pay the bounty amount of these players by now.

The live broadcast has not ended yet, as there is still treatment for injured players, collection of rewards from the Game Management Bureau, and retelling of the game.

After the live broadcast ended, another two hours had passed. The audience didn't seem to get tired, but Xia Bai got tired first.

Jiang Yitong said: "The method used by the Tourism Bureau is very good. Through this live broadcast of the game, everyone really understands the game and is not so scared anymore."

"Many times fear comes from the unknown, and the unknown will lead to wild thoughts. When people see players playing the game so calmly and solving the game so quickly, they will stop making the game scary. A true display can overwhelm a lot of malicious speculation," said Jiang Qingfeng.

"The next step is to take care of the dungeon at Dahui No. 2 Middle School." Jiang Yitong said, "If Dahui No. 2 Middle School can also be conquered successfully, everyone will really be able to accept the game and stop panicking."

After Jiang Yitong finished speaking, the two of them were silent for a while.

Xia Bai knew why they were silent.

He hadn't told them that he was going to the Dahui No. 2 Middle School game, but they must have guessed it, because it was obvious that he was very suitable to go to this game.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Bai told them, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to Dahui No. 2 Middle School, maybe just in the next two days."

Jiang Yitong nodded calmly, "Xiaobai, we got it, go ahead and don't worry."

After several seconds, Jiang Qingfeng uttered a low "hmm".

There are a lot of discussions about Dahui No. 2 Middle School in the Player Communication Center. They must have seen it, must know that this game is very dangerous, and must be very worried.

They had just met each other, and he was about to start a very dangerous game. Xia Bai knew that it would be difficult for them to accept.

He didn't even discuss it with them and just agreed right away. This was acceptable before, but now that he has a father and a mother, it's actually a bit selfish from his perspective as a son.

But there was no way, he had already been a member of the assault team, and it was not easy for him to extricate himself.

Xia Bai opened his mouth to say something, but Jiang Yitong patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Go, son. Mom and Dad are proud of you."

Xia Bai said, "Don't worry, Mom and Dad. The Tourism Administration is well prepared this time. I will definitely come out fine."

On the second day after the conquest of Fanghua Beauty Salon, the Operations Department announced the selection criteria for the game at Dahui No. 2 Middle School.

After Peace Medical College, several prestigious universities began recruiting game volunteers. A total of 758 students signed up for the game, of which 623 were very suitable freshmen.

To this end, the Games Management Bureau conducted an online exam and will select the 30 students with the best results to participate in the Dahui No. 2 Middle School game.

When Hua Haoming told Xia Bai about this, he felt a pain in his teeth. "The External Relations Department and the Information Department found the teachers who set the college entrance examination questions, as well as the teachers who set the more difficult Olympiad questions, and specially prepared a set of test papers for these top students. I heard that it is the most difficult college entrance examination paper in history, and the most comprehensive in terms of knowledge among the Olympiad papers."

Xia Bai: “…”

This idea is indeed good. Yang Mei told him yesterday that among the students who registered, some actually wanted to become famous. Now people all over the country are paying attention to the game, and those who can go to Dahui No. 2 Middle School will definitely reap the most traffic.

They don’t know how scary the game is, or maybe they do, but some people just want to be famous and want to gain wealth and fame by taking risks.

Examinations can screen out those who have no real ability to study and take exams and who just want to be famous.

At the same time, it takes a long time to complete such a set of test papers. This also gives those top students an opportunity to rethink. Don’t sign up on impulse. During the exam, if you have any hesitation, just give up answering the questions.

The thirty people selected in this way must be people with high IQ, solid memory of high school knowledge, and a firm desire to conquer the game.

Hua Haoming said: "The minister suggested that we take the test, but we refused and recommended you to take the test on our behalf."

Xia Bai: “……?”

He had never participated in the Olympic Games. This exam was a showdown between famous schools. Xia Bai knew how much attention it would receive online. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the assault team and Heping Medical College if he went?

Xia Bai didn't want to attend, so he asked Ling Changye: "Can I not go?"

"Sure." Ling Changye said directly, "Actually, when you take the exam, the results will not be announced to the public. We just want you to test their IQ. We know more about them in the game. If you don't want to go, it won't have much impact."

After he said that, Xia Bai was willing to take the exam instead, because he realized that it would be useful for him to take the exam.

The examination location is in the Tourism Management Bureau branch in each city. Students do not have to go to other places and can take the examination locally, which is very convenient.

Because it is a computer-based test, it is more convenient for Xia Bai. He does not need to go to the Tourism Management Bureau branch in Jiangqi City, and does not need to be photographed by reporters. He can take the test at home.

Jiang Qingfeng and Jiang Yitong were as cautious as he was preparing for the college entrance examination. They didn't even look at their cell phones and sat on the sofa without moving, for fear of making any noise that would disturb him.

Their thoughtfulness was helpful, as this exam was really exhausting.

Although there is only one test paper, it is divided into three parts: liberal arts, science, and other ability tests.

The liberal arts include Chinese, foreign languages, history, politics, and geography. The science includes mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. Other abilities include art, music, metaphysics, etc.

Perhaps in order to let them feel the possible pressure of the game in advance, there are 1,800 questions in the test paper and the test time is five hours.

Xia Bai's computer is the best one that his mother just bought for him. It is very eye-friendly. Even so, when the exam was over, Xia Bai's eyes were blurry and his eyes were full of tears.

Jiang Yitong and Jiang Qingfeng, one put a steam eye mask on him, and the other served him tea and water.

On TV, a reporter was interviewing a student who had just finished an exam outside the Fengning City Tourism Administration. The student said, "I'm sorry, I feel like vomiting right now. This is the most perverted exam I've ever encountered."

Xia Bai agreed with his words very much and wanted to apply for work injury compensation from the Tourism Administration.

College students and high school seniors across the country are very curious about what kind of test paper would make these top students from prestigious universities want to vomit.

The Tourism Bureau really made the entire game process public, even the test papers were made public at the first opportunity.

After seeing the test paper and the exam time, college and high school students fell silent.

【Goodbye, I am not worthy. 】

When Xia Bai was taking the exam, the Player Communication Center and the Game Management Bureau had already posted a bounty for Dahui No. 2 Middle School.

This post explains the basic situation and existing dangers again in detail, and advises players to sign up rationally.

This middle school map is very special. There are many good players, but they are not suitable for this high school map, such as Lao Qian, who is older, and You Yue who has never been to high school. In the end, only 87 players signed up.

At the same time as receiving this data, the External Relations Department sent a list of 780 people from prison.

On the third day, the test results came out and the Tourism Administration announced thirty students who would go to Dahui No. 2 Middle School, as well as three substitutes.

The list only contains names and schools, but no specific grades.

This brought relief to all the students who should have been proud.

Netizens carefully studied the list and lamented that it was a dream college entrance examination application list. Just count the names of the schools on it and you will know which are the top universities.

Song Shi talked about Xia Bai's exam results in the group: [Ranked fifth among the 750 students who took the exam, great!]

Xia Bai: [Thank you for being so considerate and not telling me my score. Please tell me the score and give me the answers so that I can see which questions I got wrong. I also have some questions that I don’t know how to answer. I will correct them.]

Song Shi: [……]

Song Lu: [……]

Is this the gap between them and the top students?

In short, the 900 people who wanted to play the game gathered together in a group.

This group named [Dahui No. 2 Middle School] has a total of 942 people, including the staff of the Tourism Management Bureau.

Ye Jiyue said in the group: [We have added [Level 1], [Level 2], [Level 3], [Level 4] and [Level 5] to the front of each player’s group name. Now I will explain these five types of notes to you.]

When the group was first created, it was very quiet. No one came out to talk nonsense. Everyone was quietly waiting for explanations from the Tourism Administration staff.

Ye Jiyue: [When the game came to Dahui No. 2 Middle School, according to statistics, there were 903 people in the school, which means that as long as there are 903 people, the game can be started, but it does not necessarily require this many people to start. According to the experience of the Game Management Bureau, unless it is a game with a specific number of people, other games can have fewer or more people.]

Ye Jiyue: [This game may be very dangerous. The fewer people involved, the better. But we don’t know exactly how many people there will be, so we will give it a try when the time comes.]

Ye Jiyue: [There are 700 [Level 1] players. This group of players will enter the school first. If they are not locked in the game, 50 [Level 2] players will join in, and the number will increase in sequence until the game is started.]

She said it very clearly, and everyone in the group understood it. Even if they were from prison, the External Relations Department had screened them, and they all had a high school education or above.

Ye Jiyue: [We will enter the game this Sunday. Since we may need to try a few more times, we have to start early. We have decided to officially enter the school at 10 noon. This Saturday, everyone can check into the hotel prepared by Dahui City.]

Ye Jiyue: [If you have any needs, you can tell us. The Tourism Administration’s task force and the logistics department’s service team will serve you throughout the process.]

Ye Jiyue: [Thank you for your hard work.]

After Ye Jiuyue finished speaking, a heated discussion broke out in the group.

Xia Bai watched for a while and saw Hua Haoming speaking in the assault team’s group.

Hua Haoming: [This is probably the most difficult group of players to coach in history (lights a cigarette).]

Yang Mei: [Of course not. If they are not the most heinous criminals on death row or the smartest top students, I dare not speak. I am afraid.]

Xia Bai: [……]

Not necessarily.

But they were right, this group of people was indeed difficult to lead. Xia Bai only watched their discussion for a while and found that there were many troublemakers and many arrogant little geniuses.

Jing Yan: [How about I go to Dahui City with you guys and help you read their true thoughts before entering the game.]

Yang Mei: [Welcome, welcome. Pat me.]

Yang Mei: [Sorry, I sent it to the wrong person. Muah.]

[……]

On Saturday, the assault team took Erwa away, and Jiang Yitong, Jiang Qingfeng and Xia Bai went to Dahui City together.

Xia Bai knew that they were worried about him, so he didn't refuse, and just thought that his parents were accompanying him to take the college entrance examination. He went into the examination room alone and went home alone.

On this day, traffic across the country basically returned to normal. Just in case, the Tourism Administration still provided Xia Bai with a special plane.

After getting off the plane, they saw Ling Changye in front of them.

Jiang Yitong said happily: "Changye, come and pick us up at the airport!"

Ling Changye said: "I may have to wait until I am old to pay back what I owe Xia Bai."

Jiang Qingfeng: "..."

Generally speaking, men who say sweet words are not good men.

He saw Xia Bai looking at Ling Changye with sparkling eyes, as if he couldn't wait to stick to him, which made him more certain of this.

Men who speak sweet words are very good at lying, especially those who are innocent and lovely like his son.

Jiang Yitong was very curious and wanted to know what happened between them, "What do you owe Xia Bai?"

Ling Changye knocked on his right wrist. It seemed that he was knocking on the void. With a light tap, an ancient silver bracelet appeared there. At the same time, they saw an identical bracelet appear on Xia Bai's wrist.

Xia Bai was very happy to see the bracelet appear. A smile immediately appeared on his face and he raised his wrist to look at Ling Changye.

Ling Changye said: "Xia Bai gave it to me on the condition that I pick him up at the airport. Because it is so expensive, he will probably have to do it many times."

Jiang Qingfeng looks very similar to Xia Bai when his face is sluggish.

Jiang Yitong held his hand and walked forward, getting farther and farther away from Xia Bai. Jiang Qingfeng noticed it and asked her what she was doing.

Jiang Yitong said: "We haven't seen them for a long time. Why would we be the third wheel?"

Jiang Qingfeng turned around and saw that the two of them were holding hands together. They hadn't even left the airport yet, and they were holding hands so tightly in public.

Jiang Qingfeng complained in his heart that Ling Changye was an inappropriate man.

Ling Changye drove them to the hotel. From a distance they saw a lot of people gathered at the hotel entrance. The low-key car drove directly to the hotel's underground parking lot, avoiding a group of people holding cameras.

The players stayed in three hotels, and their hotel arranged a room for Jiang Yitong and Jiang Qingfeng in advance.

After the two entered the room, they let Xia Bai and Ling Changye get busy. They were just worried and wanted to see Xia Bai come out of the game as soon as possible, not to affect their work.

In fact, there was not much work. After Xia Bai and Ling Changye left, they sat on a sofa.

Xia Bai stuck to Ling Changye for a long time, doing nothing but hugging his waist and lying in his arms, silently expressing his longing.

Ling Changye held him in his arms and patted his back with his hands. He knew that Xia Bai was very tired during this period.

"When we finish this game, your winter vacation will be coming soon. We can go on vacation then, okay?" Ling Changye asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Xia Bai said "hmm", but couldn't think of where he wanted to go. "Here, this place has the effect of a vacation."

Ling Changye was stunned for a moment, then started laughing, and kissed his forehead and nose tip while chuckling.

Xia Bai took the initiative to rub his mouth against his and hugged his neck, "Captain, I missed you so much."

That night, when the group was chatting enthusiastically, Xia Bai was lying on Ling Changye's bed, reading with him the message that Jing Yan sent in the assault team group.

The restaurant's lunch and dinner are both buffet style, and while eating, Jing Yan saw many people's inner thoughts and was sharing them with them.

[There was a guy wearing blue glasses who was really arrogant. His real thoughts were “a bunch of idiots.”]

[The one with the scar on his face, I will call him Scar Brother for the time being, what he really thinks is “I will kill anyone who makes me angry.”]

[A girl with a high ponytail comes to the game for excitement. She is naturally numb and has no emotional ups and downs.]

…

Hua Haoming: [I'm starting to have a headache.]

Hua Haoming: [That group of top students all depended on Xia Bai. Xia Bai must have a lot in common with them.]

Xia Bai took out his phone and replied: [Do I look smart to you?]

Hua Haoming: [……]

Yang Mei: [I think I can give it a try.]

Hua Haoming: […………]

He decided to give up.

Just let him be an obedient tool and no one should mess with him.

Xia Bai felt that the only one who could control that group of top students here was probably Yang Yi.

Yang Yi is not only a talented researcher, but also very famous in the real world. It is said that he has many amazing scientific research results in his field.

But since Yang Mei was here, he didn’t say anything.

Ling Changye thought similarly to him and said to him: "Don't worry, the top student is Yang Yi, the criminal is Hua Haoming, Black Flower is the most suitable to deal with the troublemakers, and White Flower is also very good."

Xia Bai: “…”

Everything was arranged clearly, so he really didn't have to worry or be bothered at all.

This was Xia Bai's first time to enter a large-scale map game, and there was a national audience watching. He should have been nervous, but after hearing what Ling Changye said and with Ling Changye by his side, he was surprisingly relaxed. He lay on the bed and fell asleep early while others were nervous and excited.

After a good sleep, he had breakfast with his parents the next morning, full of energy.

After breakfast, he went back to pack up, put on his schoolbag, put on a baseball cap and mask, sat on the sofa, took a breath, and waited for Ling Changye to come and take him out.

The Tourism Bureau's bus was parked in front of the hotel. To facilitate the counting of the number of players when entering the school, each bus could carry fifty players.

Near the bus, many media outlets were stopped outside the cordon and shouted when they saw someone coming out of the hotel entrance.

"Look here! Look here!"

"Classmate! Can I interview you?"

At the main entrance of the hotel, the host of the official live broadcast of the Tourism Administration was explaining to the audience why a bus had to carry fifty people. Seeing that Xia Bai and Ling Changye were both wearing masks, she quickly changed direction, and many cameras followed her direction.

The two avoided the camera and quietly got into the bus.

The bus they entered had a "Level 1" on the front of its license plate, and it was the first bus in the "Level 1" category. All the players from the Game Management Bureau were here, and after all fifty people arrived, this bus was the first to drive to Dahui No. 2 Middle School.
