Chapter 4
They did it right away. The next day, a handsome figure from the second dimension appeared in 24K Pure Gold's game live broadcast room. Lu Chao cooperated with the host to fight monsters without any tacit understanding. In just half an hour, Zhan Mu died no less than a dozen times.
The screen was filled with ridicule.
Martian: Paper Man Village is a new dungeon, it's really difficult, host, please buy some potions.
Zihan's mom: When did Lu Chao's skin come out? I think it's for that account.
diddk665: The game allows you to customize your face. It should just be an imitation, but it is exactly the same as in the dungeon.
Zhan Mu then admitted, "My friend sculpted the face. Lu Dynasty's official data has been released. Can't we just adjust it according to the proportions?"
Lu Chao, who was chopping off a monster, glanced at him with gratitude.
"Ouch!" Zhan Mu was distracted, and his few remaining health bars suddenly dropped to the bottom. He was bitten to death by the paper man again.
Paper Village, as the name suggests, is a place where people are transformed into paper figures. Your mission is to find the culprit behind this and save the villagers who have been transformed into paper figures. Because it's a new map, forum leaders are still working on overcoming the difficulties, and Zhan Mu has also joined the ranks of those who have completed it without taking any damage.
Even though he died no less than a dozen times, he was still stuck at the first level.
...The truly harmless one is Lu Chao.
But since Zhan Mu was the host and he was the initiator of the copy, after his death, Lu Chao had to log off.
Backstage, Lu Chao's calm tone was full of aggression: How did you accumulate hundreds of thousands of fans when you are so green and your words are so meaningless?
Zhan Mu: Because I’m handsome.
Lu Chao: I saw it, they are all male fans. Are you out?
Zhan Mu: No, buddy, I hardly ever show my face, and how do you know me...
The topic came to an abrupt end, and the copy started again. The two stepped into the Paper Man Village again. The number of people in the live broadcast room was as high as 500, which was a milestone in the history of Zhan Mu's anchor industry.
"I just read the discussion on the forum. We must first find the image of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and hide there. Wait a few minutes until dawn, and the paper man will disappear. If we attack him directly, we will die." Lu Chao suddenly spoke, and immediately swindled out many handsome men and beautiful women in the live broadcast room.
I am Lu Chao’s dog: Ahhh, the sound is similar! Chao Chao’s mom loves you!!
Lu Chao’s wife: Really, you’re amazing, host. Your friend’s voice is exactly the same as Lu Chao’s.
Steady flow: If he hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed. His friend's operation was amazing and very smooth. Brain-computer games are related to brain waves. Most players can't control it well, which causes their limbs to twist randomly, but Lu Chao's movements are particularly smooth.
Unified Assam: It won’t be the national version.
I am Lu Chao’s dog: You deserve this broken-sky rich anchor, and you must bring your friends to play next time, okay?
Lu Chao’s wife: Go solo, my friend. The anchor is holding you back. If you insist on imitating Lu Chao’s 1 million fans, there’s no problem at all. I will follow you forever!
The wind direction suddenly changed, and there was actually an immortal pointing the way. Zhan Mu's pupils shook and he felt slapped in the face. He wanted to have a private chat with Lu Chao, but he hesitated and fell into silence.
"I have a regular job. I'm just working with my friend to gain some popularity. I'm not very interested in being a live streamer," Lu Chao replied.
Zhan Mu was stunned for a moment, and at the same time, the paper monsters woke up again and rushed towards them. Lu Chao grabbed Zhan Mu's hand and rushed forward, and with a flick of his knife, he used a fire stick to burn several paper monsters.
Question from the barrage: Where did the fire starter come from?
45777: You didn’t pay close attention to what they did just now.
Under the moonlight, amidst withered vines and decaying trees, Lu Chao leaped onto a rooftop. He gazed into the distance, crouched down, and said solemnly, "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva originated from Buddhism and is also considered the leader of the underworld. He is the Bodhisattva who teaches 'ghosts' and is closely related to liberating the souls of the dead."
"You mean, these paper figures are the dead souls?" Zhan Mu spoke to him and looked at the paper figures below that were burned to ashes, but it was of no use. New paper figures immediately crawled out from the ground.
"Split up and try to operate on the rooftops. These paper figures are supposed to have very low IQs and can't even climb stairs."
With that, Lu Chao leaped down, drawing the paper figurine's attention, and ran off at a speed so fast it defied the game's setting. Zhan Mu's livestream captured his agile gait in full, sparking another heated discussion among netizens.
8848 Titanium Phone: Is this something a human can type? The brainwave rate must be at least 500 frames per second.
Manager Wang of Jiahe Decoration: It is possible that it is just because of the good brain-computer equipment, fast internet speed, and the young age of the person. Isn’t the brain wave rate related to the human cerebral cortex?
I'm Lu Chao's dog: What's the highest EEG rate ever recorded in the national server? I think it's 458 frames per second.
Xiaoqiang doesn't want to go to work: Host, host, who is your friend's background? Can you tell us about it?
"Uh, this won't work." Zhan Mu suddenly felt scared, and subconsciously had an ominous feeling. After all, Lu Chao's identity was too embarrassing to keep secret, and he couldn't let the omnipotent netizens mobilize the power of the masses.
He said nonchalantly, "I'm just an ordinary college student. My family has a little money and I like to study high-end games. I like to work out and stuff. I'm smart and I keep a low profile. So don't ask me any more questions."
Zhan Muzheng breathed a sigh of relief, used the control interface to jump onto the roof, and in the distance, he actually saw a blurry statue, the outline of which looked very much like Buddha.
He was running forward when suddenly his feet slipped and he stepped on some fragile thatched roof and fell down into what looked like a villager's house. It was simply furnished, but looked like a bridal chamber.
The lights were dim, the decorations were simple, with a bright red "囍" character posted on the table. Apart from peanuts, red dates, longans, melon seeds and other items on the table, the rest were very tattered. A gust of wind blew, and it looked eerie. Zhan Mu saw a figure sitting behind the curtain.
It was a woman, wearing a wedding dress, with long nails, her face hidden under a translucent gauze veil, she looked very beautiful.
Zhan Mu glanced at the comments, and saw that everyone was urging him to go over and take a look, and some were saying that he would marry the beauty in the bridal chamber. He was speechless, and was actually a little scared in his heart. However, for the sake of work, he still plucked up the courage and met the fans' requests.
"Okay, brothers and sisters, I'll do it then."
Suddenly, a woman's low humming rang out in my ears, as if she were singing: My dear, I bow to heaven and earth for everlasting life, I bow to my parents and grandchildren, and I bow to our husband and wife for an everlasting union.
Zhan Mu lifted the veil and saw her clearly. Her eyes were closed and her facial features were delicate - she was clearly a paper mannequin!
The woman suddenly opened her eyes and attacked. Zhan Mu lost half of his health in an instant, and then he ran away.
The whole screen is full of laughter.
Okay, Zhan Mu finally admitted that the game "Desperate Situation" is not suitable for poor people because it requires too much equipment, too much internet speed, and too much reflexes...
1399586: I finally understand why the anchor only has tens of thousands of fans. He is so unfollowed, hahaha.
There is no love in Mount Fuji: I am an old fan. To be fair, the host’s brain-computer helmet is definitely not more than 2,000 yuan. From the poor clarity, you can tell that the host is very poor.
Mount Fuji has no love and feeds you a rocket x1
It's only 1 yuan! The anchor only gets 5 cents. Can you bear it?
I am Lu Chao’s dog: And the anchor is very restrained. Other anchors are abstract and scream for fear that they can’t become ghost animals. You are so polite and really care too much about face.
Zhan Mu: "...You are right."
Brother 24K Pure Gold's faith was broken, and for the first time he felt that he had indeed chosen the wrong industry.
My CP is forever: Host, I think you are quite pretty, why don’t we get together?
My CP is long-lasting: making money is not shameful.
The immortal showed him the way, and Zhan Mu was in great torment.
You know, he is a good young man with a good family background. As the successor of socialism, how could he show his lust to others?
Coincidentally, Zhan Mu was running to the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva when he saw Lu Chao, who had been waiting for a long time. He was looking up at the Buddha. As if he heard him coming, he said, "Your hands are empty. Logically, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva should be holding a staff and a Mani Pearl."
Forget it, it’s just to make money, so it’s no big deal to sell it.
"You're here? As expected, this place is protected. There will be no attacks from paper people within a few miles. See if your interface will trigger the task bar to find treasures." As soon as Lu Chao finished speaking, his whole body stiffened, because he felt Zhan Mu suddenly rushing towards him and hugging his waist from behind.
Zhan Mu heard his own violent heartbeat, and at the same time, he glanced at the interface. Sure enough, this move was the technique to summon the God of Wealth!
"...What are you doing?" Lu Chao raised his eyebrows.
"Well, I, I'm being chased, and I'm a little scared." Zhan Mu stammered. No one knew that in real life, his face was already as red as a shrimp.
The number of people in the live broadcast room skyrocketed, the screen was filled with crazy comments, and even the gift-giving reached a historical peak.
Alas, Lu Chao saw it all, but did not expose his little thoughts. He thought to himself that this was really an impetuous era.
Zhan Mu loosened his grip and returned to normal. He felt that Lu Chao's calm gaze was like an examination. He smiled dryly and said, "What's the relationship between us? Why are you so awkward?"
As he said this, he nudged Lu Chao with his elbow, pretending to be brothers just in time. The advantages of being same-sex are here, and the advantages of being homosexual can also be semi-hidden here.
Lu Chao frowned but didn't express his annoyance directly. After all, it was still a live broadcast and he couldn't show his displeasure to Zhan Mu. But he didn't like his intimacy for money from the bottom of his heart.
Fortunately, the mission was completed, asking them to find the staff and Mani Pearl in the hands of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, which changed the subject.
The task bar gave too little information and Lu Chao didn't know where to start. He was also worried about it, but Zhan Mu suddenly had an idea and pointed to the paper bride who had just chased him. The two nodded and chased after her who was about to return home.
Seeing that Zhan Mu was low on health, Lu Chao kindly gave him a potion. Zhan Mu was about to ask him where he came from, but then he remembered that he was equivalent to a game bug, so he gave up.
The paper bride had just opened the door when she was kidnapped by two men who fell from the sky and covered her mouth.
The strength of the game Extremis lies in this. All NPCs have multiple interactive features to explore, and even players who play Red Dead Redemption have applauded it.
The Paper Bride's face was ferocious, and she said fiercely: "My man is coming back. He has the protection of the 'Ghost King of the Underworld', and he will kill you!!"
"This NPC is a good person and reminded us." Zhan Mu smiled.
Here, Lu Chao had already picked up a red candle from the table and was about to light it on the paper bride's face. He asked, "What is your man's relationship with the Netherworld Ghost King? Who is the Netherworld Ghost King?"
This action made the player Zhan Mu stunned, and he asked in surprise, "How did you know this item can be picked up?"
"Ah!!" The paper bride shook her head frantically, struggling. At the same time, the door was blown open by a cold wind, making a loud slamming sound. A muscular man with a strong build walked in and said in a deep voice, "Who dares to touch my bride?!"
The man with a blood bar on his head is the boss, named Di Ting.
Lu Chao sneered, and pulled out a pistol from somewhere. With quick eyes and hands, he shot the man in the head and said, "Could it be that you are the Ghost King of the Netherworld? Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."
Zhan Mu said, "Huh?"
And he found that the screen was full of question marks.
Unified Assam: Can that prop be picked up?
Zi Han’s mother: He should be able to, he has picked it up.
The man fell to the ground, his health bar instantly decreased to zero, and then he turned into ashes and disappeared. Two magic weapons, a staff and a Mani Pearl, appeared out of thin air on the ground.
“…” Zhan Mu was stunned.
"What are you standing there for? Pick it up and put the treasure back. This should be over." Lu Chao calmly put away the gun.
The comment section immediately exploded.
Xishuichangliu: What kind of fighting style is this? Huh? What kind of fighting style is this? Where did he pull out that gun from?
I am Lu Chao’s dog: Yes, this copy only allows you to make props on site, and you can only bring back blood-recovering potions.
My CP Changjiujiujiu: Amazing! How did he know this evil village was caused by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? Maybe this is the key to speedrunning!
Unified Assam: Now I catch you cheating.
United Assam: Reported brothers, no thanks.
Lu Chao shuddered all over immediately, as if he had just realized something.
...It's over, I was too excited about killing and exposed.
Just as Zhan Mu was about to speak, a big red dot popped up on the interface - the player [Rich, handsome and tall 24K pure gold brother] was suspected of violating regulations and his account was banned for three months.
Zhan Mu smiled at Lu Chao: "Thank you so much."
