Chapter 55 Tourism Administration
[The game is calculating, please wait. ]
[The rewards and achievements obtained by the corpse collector Xia Baiben map are as follows:]
[Game props [Ghost Star Halo]: You made your debut in the well-known idol 404 program with high ghost aura. If you use this prop in certain occasions, you will have a ghost star halo. (Note: The prop can only be used once per game, and each time is valid for 3 hours.)]
[Game points: 3056070]
[Skill progress: Skill level 127, 8 new corpses, 2 new prepared corpses, new usable skills: physical skill [Thousand Faces], item skill [Ring of Time and Space], please go to the skill book for details. ]
[Congratulations, corpse collector Xia Bai. ]
Xia Bai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the physical skill [Thousand Faces].
The ferocious bald man immediately turned off his anger when he heard him ask whether he wanted to give him the body.
He saw with his own eyes that Gu Quankun's body was fine, but he died in the game, and he knew that his body would be dismembered and used as plastic surgery material, so he really hesitated, and then agreed viciously.
Unlike other trainees in their group, Xia Bai asked the bald guy this purely because he thought his skills were pretty good. Anyway, there was already the annoying Gu Quankun, so one more annoying bald guy wouldn't make much difference.
But he hesitated at that time because the attributes of Gu Quankun's skill were not so clear.
It may be a prop skill, he used some tool to peel the human face.
It may be a physical skill, the tearing and pasting of human faces depends on his hands and face.
It could also be a soul skill, where you put on a face and magically your entire person will become that person from beginning to end.
If it was a soul skill, he didn't want to sign it. He might not be able to use the soul skill, and he didn't want to carry an annoying corpse.
After signing, he thought about it carefully again. He didn't want to tear off other people's faces, so he could only use the human face that the bald man already had. This skill was the same as the earthworm arm and not that good. He regretted it a little.
Fortunately, it’s physical skills.
After taking a quick glance at the skill of the Thousand Faces Man, Xia Bai immediately went to look at the newly added corpses to see who the eighth one was.
Their group came in second place in the final competition and one person had to be eliminated.
After seeing that it was Wang Chuang, he felt depressed for a moment. Sure enough, his performance was affected by that incident.
At this time, he was on the 13th floor of the real Huaning TV Station. He was the first one to come out, and there was no one there when he first came out.
After he finished looking at the corpses in the skill book, the trainees came out one by one. As expected, Wang Chuang was eliminated from their group, and the ones eliminated from Ling Changye's group were Bald Liu Qiang and Tang Ying. Originally, they thought that at least two people would be eliminated from the Half Moon Group, but all three of them passed.
There are still traces of fire on the 13th floor, but the smoke has disappeared. The traces of fighting seem to be a very distant thing. The people who left some traces have disappeared from this world forever.
It was dark outside, everyone was gasping for breath, and no one spoke.
Ling Changye opened the window on the 13th floor and shone the light of his mobile phone downwards. The rescue workers waiting below immediately ran up and were stunned for a while when they saw the perfect people in the room.
"Hurry up and take them to find a healing player." Ling Changye focused on Shan Jiayang and the others, "If it's any later, they might become vegetables."
You Mohan and Shi Danfeng did not stop the people from the Tourism Administration from taking Shan Jiayang for treatment. As he was taken away, the two of them also got into the Tourism Administration's car.
Xia Bai brought Zhang Runyue and Zheng Shaoning, who had undergone full-body plastic surgery and had become much slower in reaction, downstairs. They saw that there were many ambulances parked outside the Huaning TV station. It took the two slow-witted people a while to realize that three of them were the ones they had been in.
There were so many people here, but now it's empty.
A man came over with a flashlight. When he got closer, I could see clearly that it was Wei Zhengyu, the Minister of Logistics Department.
She only recognized Xia Bai, and couldn't recognize the others who had undergone plastic surgery, including Zhang Runyue who had spoken to her next to him. She asked Xia Bai: "Xia Bai, how many volunteers did you have?"
Xia Bai said: "12."
Wei Zhengyu asked again: "How many are left?"
Xia Bai: “3.”
There were 12 volunteers here, but only 3 of them left in the end.
"Sorry." Wei Zhengyu turned his head away slightly, "I'm really sorry."
Xia Bai didn't know what to say. He had no right to say "it's okay" on behalf of those dead volunteers and to comfort others.
Wei Zhengyu didn't need any comfort. She quickly adjusted herself and said to them, "Hurry up and get in the car. Have a good rest tonight. You can go back to school tomorrow."
Zhang Runyue and Zheng Shaoning went to the ambulance that had treatment for players, You Mohan, Shi Danfeng and Shan Jiayang went to another one, and Xia Bai, Ling Changye and Yang Mei all did not have plastic surgery, so they took an RV to the orthopedic hospital.
Yang Mei looked at the two ambulances that left first and said, "I don't know if they can recover."
Ling Changye said: "The few people who had plastic surgery in the last two days are fine. Even if the self that was devoured cannot be restored, it was not much, so they will recover after a while. The one called Shan Jiayang, if he cannot restore his lost self, he will probably become a newborn baby."
"Does he have any special skills?" Yang Mei was curious. "How could he last so long? All the players who had plastic surgery in the same week as him have become empty shells and died."
Ling Changye also looked at their car, "Probably not. It all depends on willpower."
Xia Bai was stunned. How strong a willpower must one have to survive being devoured and retain the last bit of consciousness?
He thought of You Mohan's last performance again, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of people the Half Moon Group was.
Then, he thought again, is the person that You Mohan and Shi Danfeng are looking for You Yue?
They left contact information when they parted last time, and Xia Bai immediately sent a text message to You Yue asking her if she knew You Mohan and Shi Danfeng.
He didn't know what kind of people You Mohan and Shi Danfeng were. Even if they were really a family, he didn't know what had happened or what their relationship was like. Xia Bai couldn't tell them rashly, but he could ask You Yue.
Even when they arrived at the orthopedic hospital, You Yue didn't reply to him.
Xia Bai made a phone call, but the service area was out of range.
Xia Bai, an electronics novice, asked: "What if it's not in the service area?"
"Ah." Yang Mei said, "It means that the other party may have gone to a very remote place, which is not within the service range of the operator."
Ling Changye added: "It could also be in the game."
Xia Bai was stunned for a moment and let the two go in first. He found the phone number of Harmony Cinema on the Internet and called it.
"Hello, this is Harmony Cinema. How can I help you?"
"Hello, is You Yue still in the cinema? I can't get through to his cell phone."
"You Yue no longer works at our cinema."
"Why? Do you know the reason?"
The official on the other end replied with “I don’t know” and then hung up.
Not long after, Xia Bai received a text message from a private mobile number and found out what was going on.
Harmony Cinema was originally just a small cinema with little profit. The staff's wages were pitifully low, so naturally they had no demands.
Later, the copy of Harmony Cinema was cleared, and Harmony Cinema became one of the safest places in Quanguang City, the safest cinema. Harmony Cinema became popular overnight, with booming business and a large number of people coming and going.
The boss wanted to take the opportunity to upgrade the cinema, so You Yue, who had always kept her head down and was taciturn, was driven away by the boss and replaced by a staff member with a sweet smile.
Xia Bai was stunned and sent a text message to the other party: [Do you know where she went? ]
The other party replied: [I don’t know, she said she wanted to go home to visit, but we don’t know where her home is, and she rarely speaks in the cinema.]
Xia Bai looked back in the direction of the Harmonious Cinema. Quanguang City was slowly becoming bustling again, with bright lights. He wondered where You Yue, who had been kicked out, was at this moment, and whether there was any light around her.
He sent another text message to You Yue: [Sister You Yue, please reply to me when you see this message.]
After sending the message, he went to the Orthopedic Hospital and visited Zhang Runyue in her ward.
The healing player had already left. Zhang Runyue was sitting on the bed, having returned to her original state. She said to Xia Bai, "Junior, I'm fine now. The healing player is truly amazing. It would be great if our medical skills could reach this level. I wonder if there is any way to replicate this."
As expected of a medical professional, the first thing he thought of was the development of medicine.
Xia Bai asked: "Those parts that were swallowed?"
Zhang Runyue: "It is indeed a little blurry, but it does not affect my life. I will see more, hear more, and feel more in the future."
Xia Bai tilted his head and gave her a crooked thumbs up for her mentality.
Zhang Runyue was stunned for a moment when he saw his actions, and Xia Bai also reacted. He unconsciously imitated Zhong Zicang's actions.
Zhang Runyue asked: "Xia Bai, did you bring back their bodies?"
Xia Bai nodded.
"Minister Wei just said that we can go back to school tomorrow," said Zhang Runyue.
Xia Bai: "Well, take them back to school."
Zhang Runyue smiled and said, "They will probably be very happy."
As the two were talking, a staff member came up to them and said, "Excuse me, could you please go to 201? The people from the institute want to hear about the game you just finished."
Xia Bai had experienced this twice before and was familiar with it. He briefly talked to Zhang Runyue about it and went to 201 with her.
201 was supposed to be an office in the Orthopedic Hospital, with several desks and a reception sofa. When they arrived, everyone except Ling Changye and Yang Mei was there. Unexpectedly, even You Mohan and Shi Danfeng came, and next to them was Shan Jiayang, whose face had recovered but was very confused.
All players who had plastic surgery have been restored to their original appearance.
Xia Bai sat on the sofa with Zhang Runyue and glanced towards the door, wondering boredly whether Ling Changye would need to change his clothes again. He should have returned to the ward where he was staying, so he would change his clothes.
really.
When Ling Changye came in, he looked brand new. He looked like he had not only changed his clothes, but also taken a shower, looking clean and refreshed. Even across the desk, Xia Bai could smell the familiar scent of sea water and tree care on him.
Not long after he sat down, the screen on the wall lit up.
The copy of Huaning TV station just came out, and no one would be happy to see the screen on the wall light up.
Xia Bai saw a familiar person again, Vice President Yang from the research institute. He saw him three times when he repeated the story. Doesn't he have anything else to do?
Vice President Yang looked over at them and asked, "Isn't there another person?"
Ling Changye: "He may not come."
Vice Dean Yang was silent for a few seconds, as if he didn't want to care about this person anymore. He kept silent, and suddenly said with a cold face: "Yang Mei, as a member of the Tourism Administration, is so uncooperative with the work of the Tourism Administration. Aren't the people in your assault team too...?"
"Sorry, I'm late." Yang Mei said standing at the door.
Vice President Yang, who had just asked the question in a cold voice, immediately fell silent.
Yang Mei walked over to Xia Bai and sat on the chair next to him.
The pink-shirted woman next to Vice President Yang immediately said, "Excuse me, everyone. We are from the Research Institute of the Tourism Administration. I am a member of the team responsible for researching game strategies. Today, I would like to ask you to talk about the game map of Huaning TV Station. I heard that this is a special map. Your experience in clearing the map is very important. Please share it with us in as much detail as possible."
"Excuse me, is there anyone who wants to be the keynote speaker?"
No one spoke.
In fact, the main speakers could be three people who have not had plastic surgery. They have not been devoured by the facial features of the dead and their thinking is the clearest, but none of the three spoke.
"Why don't I say it?" Zhang Runyue and Shi Danfeng spoke at the same time.
Zhang Runyue made a “please” gesture and said, “You should be able to see it more clearly than me.”
Shi Danfeng became the main speaker.
"After we entered the game, we were informed that we would participate in a talent show called "Idol 404". The show started with the first stage. Each of us went on stage to perform for three judges who were not sure whether they were human or ghosts, and a group of ghost audiences behind the screen. They would rate us, and based on the ratings, we were divided into three groups for the first time: the top group, the middle group, and the bottom group."
"Our three groups will participate in a total of four tests and competitions, including two individual tests and two team competitions. The elimination rules are very strict. Elimination means death."
"Under the threat of death, we looked everywhere for ways to pass the test. Two judges gave us two options. One was a physical education teacher who told us we could have plastic surgery. The other was a former outstanding graduate and talent coach who told us that our performance had to be eye-catching."
She spoke very clearly and no one else interrupted or added anything.
The woman from the research institute asked, "Are these two methods correct? Is this a trap they set?"
Shi Danfeng: "It turns out to be true."
"But plastic surgery is actually about replacing facial features. We use the facial features we are not satisfied with to replace them with the ones we are satisfied with. The facial features we get in return are those of a dead person. These facial features of a dead person transplanted onto our faces will devour our self, or our soul. If we have plastic surgery right at the beginning, we will be devoured into an empty shell before the game is over. If we have too many parts of our body plastic surgery, we will quickly lose our self and become a beautiful zombie."
"Lose yourself, beautiful zombie? This game is mocking you again." The woman in the pink shirt laughed and continued to ask, "If you had discovered it earlier, you wouldn't have had plastic surgery. There must be something forcing you to do it. Is it the cruel game mechanism?"
"Yes." Shi Danfeng nodded. "On the one hand, many players are already F-level, but the individual assessment will eliminate F- and E-level players, so we must improve our own level. On the other hand, the team competition is a competition. If others have plastic surgery, we will lose if we don't, so we have to do it internally."
"Have you all had plastic surgery?" Vice President Yang suddenly asked.
There was no way to hide this matter. Shi Danfeng shook her head, "Captain Ling, Yang Mei, and Xia Bai didn't do it."
"How did the three people who didn't have plastic surgery pass the level?"
"By talent."
"What talent?"
Ling Changye interrupted and said, "I'm sorry, we won't tell anyone about any of the talent shows in this game. Most of the talents that can pass the assessment are skill-based talents, which are personal privacy."
You Mohan and Shi Danfeng both glanced at him.
Vice President Yang looked at them one by one, pushed up his glasses, nodded and said, "Please continue."
Shi Danfeng: "There's nothing else to say. I've pretty much explained how to play the game."
The pink shirt woman asked, "Isn't that attention-grabbing trick the talent instructor mentioned also a trap?"
"No." This time it was Zhang Runyue who answered, "In the last two games, we added traffic and data, that is, the number of ghosts watching, into the scoring system. It can attract more ghosts to watch, and it will indeed get better results."
"Okay, it's a really cruel game." She said that as a person who specializes in studying games, she has heard countless games and can probably understand the cruelty of the game just by thinking about it. She said, "Thank you for your hard work."
She looked at Vice President Yang, who said, "Thank you for your cooperation."
The game retelling ends and the screen goes dark.
You Mohan stood up and said, "You don't have to hide my performance for me. I don't mind others knowing that I am an organ performer."
Shi Danfeng nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your thoughtful cover-up, but it's okay, we don't mind."
"I'm not hiding it from you. We also revealed skills that we didn't want others to know during the talent show." Ling Changye also stood up leisurely. "Gentleman's agreement, no one will tell anyone about any of the talent shows in this game?"
You Mohan looked at him and said, "Okay."
"President You, were you forced?" Xia Bai suddenly asked.
You Mohan was stunned for a moment. He knew what Xia Bai was asking, and told him frankly, "In the beginning, it was true, but later, we accepted it. We don't steal or rob, and it's not shameful to support ourselves and our families by performing."
"Yes." Xia Bai continued to ask: "Did your son get lost at the place where you were performing?"
“Yes and no.” You Mohan said, “I didn’t tell you so clearly in the game, I just said he was lost. In fact, the people who forced us took our son away by force. We didn’t know what they were going to do. Later they said our son ran away. We found out that he really ran away, so we have been looking for him ever since.”
"I understand. I've seen his photo. If I meet him in the future, I will contact your club." Xia Bai lied.
"Thank you." You Mohan said.
Shi Danfeng deliberately left their contact information, "Then we'll leave first."
The two men left 201 with the dumbfounded Shan Jiayang, and soon they appeared outside the hospital. There were no cars, so they walked into the darkness in the distance together.
"President You said they accepted it. It's not just him. Did the president's wife and that guy Shan Jiayang have similar experiences?" Zhang Runyue sighed, "They are a group of miserable people."
"No." Xia Bai shook his head, "If they don't feel the hardship, then they are not miserable people."
Zhang Runyue was stunned for a moment and nodded.
They also dispersed.
Ling Changye had other things to deal with, Zhang Runyue and the others had to register player information, and Xia Bai and Yang Mei went back to the ward together.
On the way, Xia Bai asked Yang Mei: "Why didn't you say a word?"
Yang Mei is not a talkative person, so she didn't say anything just now, which was a bit strange.
"I feel so sleepy and tired after playing this crappy game. I don't have the energy to talk to the research institute." Yang Mei covered her mouth and yawned, then looked up at him, "Brother Xia Bai, can you carry me back?"
Xia Bai: “…”
Xia Bai squatted in front of him with a wooden face.
Yang Mei was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, pulled Xia Bai up, hugged his neck and laughed, "Brother, are you serious? You are so nice to me."
Xia Bai pushed Yang Mei's face away with a blank expression, "I'm not a ghost."
"Am I only able to attract ghosts?" Yang Mei said, "Hua Haoming said that I have been marinated. Don't you think I don't have the feeling of first love?"
Xia Bai said directly: "No."
Yang Mei: "So what was your first love like?"
Xia Bai: "There is no first love."
"Oh my god, my brother is a virgin!" Yang Mei said in surprise and joy. She immediately came back to life and took out her cell phone. "I have to tell the captain right away."
Xia Bai's face looked even more stunned, and his soul ran away carrying the train.
"No, no, why should we tell the captain?" Xia Bai asked blankly: "Should we still report this?"
"Ordinary people don't need to report it, but you..." Yang Mei finished typing, turned to look at Xia Bai, and smiled, "You may become the captain's partner. The more familiar the partners are, the better. That's what we say."
Xia Bai: "Partner?"
"Yeah, most of the people in our assault team have partners, that is, game partners, people who play games together." Yang Mei said: "You and the captain are both single."
"What about you?" Xia Bai asked, "Who is your partner?"
"I've tried several." Yang Mei said, "I've been with Hua Haoming recently. He came here to find me, but recently you took me, so he took Erwa away."
Xia Bai: “…”
I always felt that there was something strange about what he said.
Before he could figure out what was strange, Xia Bai's cell phone started ringing.
There were suddenly so many messages at this time, Xia Bai inexplicably felt a little uneasy and didn't want to open his phone.
His feeling is always accurate.
One of the messages came from Hua Haoming, who Yang Mei mentioned just now. Hua Haoming: [I heard that you are a virgin?]
Xia Bai: “?”
Xia Bai: “!”
He was just about to question Yang Mei and ask why she should tell the captain instead of his trial partner, when he glanced at the new message that popped up and understood what was going on.
The idiot Yang Mei sent the message that he wanted to send to Ling Changye to the [Bow and Arrow] group, which is also the group of their assault team!
In the group where only emoticons had appeared this week, a text message suddenly appeared.
Yang Mei: [Captain! Xia Bai is still a virgin!]
Below is a group of [Erwa is shocked.jpg] emoticons.
There is also a Ling Changye’s [Erwa knows.jpg] mixed in among them.
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I sent this to the wrong group!" Yang Mei immediately apologized to Xia Bai, "I'll explain it right away."
Yang Mei: [That’s not what Brother Xia Bai said, I guessed.]
Xia Bai: “…”
There was no sign of life left on his face, and his soul escaped from the earth on a rocket.
When joining the group, Xia Bai added a few friends, and they all sent "consolations" to Xia Bai.
Xia Bai thanked them for their concern expressionlessly, returned to the ward with a wooden face, took a shower with a wooden face, and got into bed with a wooden face for a long time.
After a long time, Xia Bai thought that no one in the group would talk about this matter anymore, so he poked his head out from under the quilt and turned on his phone.
The group was filled with emoticons like [It’s okay, my brother is still young.jpg].
“…”
