When Social Anxiety Enters the Escape Game

Xia Yi signed up to enter "Stairs". As long as she survives six matches, not only can she stay alive, but she can also get a large sum of incentive money.

She might even find a way to...

Chapter 23

Real World

Xia Yi was surprised. Even if their group was the first to escape from the scary kindergarten, she shouldn't be the first.

Unless Ye Baixin's memory is completely replaced by the monster's memory when he enters the game space, even if he enters the game space at that time, the game will determine that Ye Baixin has failed to pass the level. Not only will his injuries not be healed, but he will also be expelled from the space and disappear completely.

Even if Ye Baixin died, what about Xiang Jiu? Xiang Jiu was alive and well, so why was the judgment not successful?

"The awards are being distributed now. Do we need to shut down the live streaming system?"

"Close it." Xia Yi said.

"Your live stream has been shut down. Your live stream balance is 108,002 Interstellar Coins. 50% of your ladder maintenance energy has been deducted, leaving a balance of 54,001 Interstellar Coins. You can withdraw Interstellar Coins directly to your Star Card or purchase luxury items such as live stream avatars and special titles that cannot be used to complete game levels."

Xia Yi paused when she heard the amount of interstellar coins. She had known for a long time that live streaming could make money, but she had never expected it to be so profitable. She had been in the game for less than three days and had already earned tens of thousands of interstellar coins. She was still a newcomer and not many people were watching her. Once she got rid of the title of newcomer and had a regular audience, wouldn't the interstellar coins she earned be able to multiply several times?

This way she will soon be able to save enough money to buy back the house.

"Special reward: Gao Minmin's little mirror, a little mirror for girls who love beauty. No one can see me when I'm not beautiful."

"Special Reward: The ghost Hao Si's fear. Every time Hao Si sees you, he assumes you're weak and can be bullied, but the outcome is always surprising. He'll always feel inexplicably anxious when fighting you, and his feelings will also be reflected on monsters of the same level as him."

"The Ladder System Mall is now open to you. Items in the mall can be refreshed at any time. You have successfully escaped and received 10 escape points."

"Special rewards can be used in game escapes and may be extremely useful in special situations."

"After receiving the reward, you can exit the game on your own."

The game space was still the same scene as when Xia Yi was just absorbed into the ladder, except that the countless eyes in front of him were now all closed, and the entire semicircle seemed to be covered with flesh-colored tumors. The position in the center of the tumor opened slightly for a moment, and a palm-sized round mirror with an exquisite rag doll printed on it was spit out from there.

Xia Yi walked forward. The injury she suffered in the game last night had almost healed last night. Now there was not even a trace of the wound. Her overall condition was comparable to that of a boxer in her heyday. She picked up the mirror and put it away carefully.

Click Exit Game in the pop-up window.

In the blink of an eye, the familiar basement appeared before my eyes again, and even the folds of the curtains opposite me remained the same.

Xia Yi took two steps and found himself somewhat uncomfortable with his real body.

But this did not prevent her from feeling better. Xia Yi reached out to open the curtains, hesitated for a moment, and only opened them halfway. However, the sunlight coming in through the small window was bright enough, and the golden sunlight made the photos on the small table dazzling.

Xia Yi stroked his family photo. His parents looked the same as they did when they were young. You two have blessed me again!

——Buzz buzz buzz, it seemed that Xia Yi had noticed his appearance, and countless pieces of information popped out from the Star Network bracelet.

Xia Yi quickly checked the news of the past three days, deleted the useless junk messages, put aside the ones that needed to be called back, and clicked on the messages that needed to be replied to and read them one by one.

The first one is about the situation of my parents’ house. The mortgage bank that bought the house decided to put the house on a real estate buying and selling website.

The mortgage bank sent a special text message to remind Xia Yi that the website address of the house was sent to him and it would be put on sale in a month.

The transaction price is 1.7 million interstellar coins.

Xia Yi clicked on the website and saw the familiar decor. The house's location was particularly good, and within a day of being listed, it had already received several likes from potential buyers. She had mortgaged the house to pay for her parents' medical treatment when she and her parents were in a car accident. After her parents died from their medical treatment, she bought the best cemetery, leaving little money left from the mortgage.

The current balance on her Star Travel Card, plus the 40,000-plus interstellar coins she had just earned, amounted to only 200,000.

When she first signed up for the ladder, she said that she was poor because she really felt that she was poor.

Xia Yi considered the possibility of entering more games and accidentally clicked on the communication penguin next to him. X sent a voice message early.

"I saw Xia Xia's performance. As expected, you'll be invincible in the game. Your thinking ability and reaction speed are destined to make you successful." A smiling voice came over. "I've always said that the ones I cultivate are all bright and beautiful flowers. Don't you also want to be the center of attention? Congratulations, you've already bought into this path."

"Thank you, and thank you for your encouragement. If I see you in the game, I will recognize you." She added x by chance. This person had no purpose. His only goal was to help people enter the ladder. She could detect through various clues that x had tricked many people into the ladder game, so she treated x as an emotional trash can, but it was undeniable that x's encouragement also allowed her to take that step ahead of time.

x's voice is very nice.

Even if he only read one word, Xia Yi would definitely be able to recognize the person.

Xia Yi shook his head, handed in several overdue bills, and saw invitations from several entertainment companies hidden at the bottom.

Rong Ya, Xia Ji and Hua Xing, these three entertainment companies have been the focus of Xia Yi before. Rong Ya is the best at promoting people. Those extremely popular star-like players are almost all promoted by Rong Ya and his team. Ming Xue is the one promoted by Rong Ya at a huge price; Xia Ji is used to casting a wide net, getting people into dungeons one by one for multiplayer combat; Hua Xing is the most conventional. Of course, on the rich list, the boss of Hua Xing Entertainment also earns the least.

After a brief comparison, Xia Yi had the answer. She replied to the text message from Huaxing Entertainment asking for a meeting, and quickly reached an agreement and made an appointment to go for an interview in the afternoon.

Xia Yi took a shower in a happy mood, and this happiness lasted until the moment before he went out.

Xia Yi put on his hat and mask, put on his coat, took a deep breath, pushed the door open and stuck his head out. The neighbors on both sides were not there.

The Huaxing Entertainment Building was built in the new city area. The flow of people in the new city area was less than that in the old city area, but it was still crowded. Xia Yi walked towards Huaxing Entertainment with his head slightly lowered. The shade of the trees on both sides of the gate of Huaxing Entertainment were full of gossip reporters. When Xia Yi was automatically allowed in by the security room at the gate after recognizing the invitation code, countless cameras started filming.

"Master, why are you still filming a lame person? Look at the way she walks, there's no way she can be a star. What a waste of film!"

"You're the only one who's clever, but are the reporters who took our photos all idiots?! Her invitation code is green, and only invitations from directors and above are green." The master held a cigarette between his lips. "Besides, a roll of film only costs a few bucks, so it doesn't matter if there's a lot of waste film. Who knows, one of them might be a gold nugget in the future. However, a lot of rookies have the same idea as you. There are a lot of rookies in Huaxing Entertainment."

Xia Yi walked stiffly in the reception hall. There were more than a dozen artists and game players being interviewed, sitting or standing in the hall.

When she sat down, the pair of sisters next to her smiled awkwardly, but whispers could still be heard around them.

"How could Huaxing Entertainment have fallen so far?" "How could such a disabled person be a star?" "Even if she were a player, how much strength would that small body have?" "If she can pass the interview, I'll let my friend try too."

"Stop talking. The HR director is here. But would the HR director also come for this kind of small interview?"

Xia Yi looked at the HR director who was walking straight towards her and stood up. She noticed the director's name tag. The woman's name was Xi Pan.

"Miss Xia, I'm sorry, I was delayed for a while by a meeting. Please come to my office and talk."

After Xi Pan brought Xia Yi into the elevator, the silent waiting area finally came alive, and someone shouted after a long time.

"I remember now. Isn't she the one who topped the newcomer list? Does she look like her?"
