Chapter 8 Forget It
After witnessing the pigs being fed into the machine and cut into pieces with a "click, click" sound, Lin Han said it was impossible not to be afraid.
He is an ordinary person.
Even if you have worked in a game company and made horror games, ordinary people will not be frightened to the point of screaming when faced with such a scene, but they will still be scared.
However, the conveyor belt could not move forward according to Lin Han's will, and the iron ring on his head was fixed tightly and could not move at all. Even if Lin Han wanted to move back to have close contact with the corpse behind him, he was powerless.
Of course, this helplessness to some extent saved Lin Han from the inner struggle - reason told him that he would not be able to accept being stuck with a dead pig.
When people are suddenly panicked and afraid, it is easy to overlook many things.
Lin Han found joy in the midst of his suffering, secretly feeling a little "fortunate" that the conveyor belt was high enough. He had no way of supporting himself on his toes to relieve the pressure on his wrists. After all, he didn't really want his toes to swim in rotten flesh and dirty blood.
Lin Han's wrists and shoulders were numb with pain. He stared at his bare toes in a daze. Then he realized that he was almost naked, just like all the "food" hanging on the conveyor belt.
Why did we say "almost"? It was probably because they took into consideration that some scenes could not be broadcast, leaving him with only a piece of rag to wrap himself.
Lin Han: “…”
No, this is definitely not the reason, otherwise such a copy would never appear.
Compared to the dispensable naked bodies of adult men, the bloody violence in the present and foreseeable future is even less suitable for broadcast.
Thinking of this, Lin Han couldn't help but think of the "live broadcast system" in the new world. Since he had not heard the system prompt him whether the live broadcast was turned on or not, Lin Han specially confirmed it.
【Do you want to start live broadcast? 】
Lin Han's thoughts had just flashed through his mind when Alfred's voice appeared in his ears and began to explain the live broadcast system to him.
[After the live broadcast starts, players can...]
Lin Han interrupted him just as the system explanation began: "No! No no no!"
At this moment, he didn't really want to know what he would gain after starting the live broadcast, nor did he want to know what benefits it would bring. He only knew that if Song Ziyi found out that he started the live broadcast in this way...what would be waiting for him would be a "black history" that could never be washed away.
Lin Han didn't want to be so old that he could barely walk while lying in bed, and then some mean old man would take out a high-definition photo of him hanging among a group of pigs and laugh at him. He felt suffocated just thinking about it.
Although he didn't know whether a live broadcast of a pure newcomer like him would be seen by Song Ziyi, he chose to take precautions and never give Song Ziyi any chance to succeed.
Meanwhile, in a place that Lin Han couldn't see, someone who was not trusted by his friends and who was actually capable of doing such a thing was frantically sweeping the live broadcast room.
For the first time in a long time, Song Ziyi did not immerse himself in the game world like a crazy practitioner. Instead, he lay on the sofa at home and swiped his phone frantically.
He was live streaming, so many of his fans could see his every move. He bit a piece of watermelon in his mouth, his hands moving non-stop, and he was muttering to himself: "Impossible! How can it be gone? I've checked it three times!"
Lin Han has never logged out since he entered the game, so Song Ziyi naturally couldn't contact him. He thought that Lin Han was immersed in the game and had no time to pay attention to him, so he chose to find Lin Han's live broadcast room himself.
The reason why he was so sure that Lin Han would open a live broadcast room was because he knew that as long as Lin Han read the game introduction and completed the novice guide, with his gaming experience, he would definitely know how to maximize the benefits - the rewards received in the live broadcast room could be used to purchase items in the prop mall, which would be of great help even if Lin Han was in life mode.
Song Ziyi: This guy can let go of such a good opportunity? I don't believe it.
Because there were so few players in Life Mode, a drop in the bucket compared to Fantasy Mode, Song Ziyi dared to look for Lin Han's livestream. Unexpectedly, he searched three times, three times, and still couldn't find Lin Han.
Song Ziyi: This is unreasonable!
Song Ziyi didn't believe it and prepared to watch it again.
He never imagined that Lin Han had quietly switched the game mode without his knowledge, nor did he know that he was the fundamental reason why Lin Han chose not to start the live broadcast at all costs.
In short, at least before Lin Han's first copy is completed, Song Ziyi will absolutely have no chance to contact him again.
-
No matter how complicated Lin Han's mood was in the game, or how impatient Song Ziyi was outside the game, time was passing, and the situation was gradually developing in a direction that was unfavorable to Lin Han.
Although Lin Han had learned about the game's pain avoidance mechanism for death from other people's live broadcasts, he would not feel pain. He would probably just go black and be forced to quit the game. By the way, because his death was not due to some special reason that would give him a second chance to play the game, he would most likely lose the opportunity to continue playing in the new world. Song Ziyi's dream was quickly, swiftly and without any room for negotiation, strangled in the cradle.
In short, if Lin Han doesn’t find a solution, his gaming experience will end in a few minutes.
Time didn't actually pass very long as he was lost in thought. Lin Han was only dangling in the air for a while. He tried to look up at the iron ring that was buckling his wrist. The iron ring that had made his wrist red, swollen and painful closed above him and tightly clamped Lin Han's wrist, leaving him almost no room to break free.
But he was not originally attached to this iron ring, so someone had to open it and hang it back up. This meant that Lin Han must be able to find the control device nearby to unlock the iron ring.
Maybe it's a keyhole, maybe it's something else.
If it was the key, then unless Lin Han could find the key again in just a few minutes, there would be no hope of escape.
Normal games will not have such levels where death is inevitable. For example, in dungeons that are mainly based on cooperation and confrontation, a crisis will not be set up for someone at the beginning. This is unfair to the player in itself. Even if the new world can give the other party new gaming opportunities, it will still be criticized by players.
Based on Lin Han's current understanding of the New World, it is obvious that they would not do such a thing.
Well, the answer is very simple. Under normal circumstances, when a player enters the dungeon [Factory] and opens his eyes to find himself hanging on a conveyor belt and about to be sent in for cutting, he should be able to easily break free from the restraints of the iron ring and get out of danger.
Before entering the dungeon, players can enhance their fantasy abilities through the characters they draw in the game world. Take Song Ziyi as an example. He is cultivating immortals. Even for the most lame cultivator, breaking free from an iron ring is a piece of cake. There is no difficulty at all.
But that was Song Ziyi!
Who was he? He was Lin Han, an ordinary guy who had just entered the game! He was so ordinary that he had no special abilities at all. All he possessed was the strength of an ordinary man who was almost powerless against the iron ring.
Lin Han: “…”
Even the "qualifying copy" itself was not something he should be exposed to.
Normally, players would only actively participate in ranked matches when they felt they had mastered enough skills to compete with the game's top players and gain more game resources. But what about him? He simply fell into a black hole entrance while avoiding it because he was afraid of crushing a child and causing him to get hurt.
If he remembered correctly, the freshman assessment that Chenchen mentioned should be the one at the end of the corridor, which was some distance away from them.
If the order of arrangement is used as the basis for the difficulty of the copy, then the copy he is in should not be something he can solve at the moment.
Then he died as soon as he came in, is there any problem?
The problem is that he doesn't want to die. He doesn't want to die here unjustly.
Lin Han took a deep breath, and the foul smell that rushed into his nostrils calmed him down again.
A violent breakthrough is only one of the options. A mature level setting must have a conventional solution, and he must have a way to break free.
Lin Han continued to search around, feeling around the iron ring with his fingers. The sticky plasma and attachments felt slippery. He couldn't help but dry heave twice, and finally touched a knob right above it.
A screw knob covered with rust.
Lin Han breathed a sigh of relief, but he soon discovered a new problem. The iron ring tightly bound his wrist, and his hand was some distance away from the knob, so he could only barely touch the knob with his index and middle fingers.
Obviously, he simply didn't have the strength to do so.
In most cases, it would be really difficult for people to do things that they can do easily in normal times without the help of their thumbs.
Lin Han was only one step away from success, but he just couldn't take that step.
He couldn't help but curse as he watched the conveyor belt continue to move forward, getting closer and closer to the cutting machine.
He couldn't help getting impatient.
How could he not be afraid?
It is human nature to be afraid of embarrassment and death, but watching oneself die in vain is something that no one can tolerate.
Even though he is just in a game at this moment, the excessive reality will make him remember it.
Lin Han closed his eyes and continued to look for new ways. He looked at his hands.
The gap between the iron ring and his wrist was too small. Lin Han had tried many times but couldn't break free at all. Only new marks were left on his hands. But he seemed to have no other way except to break free by force.
He was still staggering towards the dark cave entrance.
Anyway, it seems that now there is no chance of survival except cutting off his hand?
Lin Han: “…”
It's like he's skipped 20 levels to challenge a new dungeon, there's no chance of winning at all.
How about just going in like this?
The author has something to say:

Lin Han: I don’t really want to play this game.
My dears, I'm very busy recently, but I will definitely update on the same day. Wait until I find a time that suits me to update.
