158 The Ninth Store
◎You are the one I am waiting for.◎
Several people at the door were reluctant to enter the office, He Baiheng stood up and forcibly pulled them in.
"You come to take a look, just take a look."
The colleague said unwillingly: "How could there be a bug on Ghost Street? You must have seen it wrong."
He Baiheng pressed the colleague who was talking to sit on his chair: "Look carefully, some people on the street are wearing a strange silver bracelet on their wrists."
A game interface was displayed on He Baiheng's computer. On the street at night, colorful lights flashed, and buildings like building blocks were crowded together.
Strings of pixel people walked around on the street. The screen was too small, and there were too many characters in the interface. They were crowded together like small fish.
The male colleague leaned close to the screen and looked at it for a long time, then shook his head: "There are too many people, and it's night, so I can't see clearly."
He Baiheng called other colleagues: "Come and have a look. I observed for a day and determined that some people on Ghost Street have a strange bracelet out of nowhere."
The colleague standing by the door did not move: "It's probably a prop. Isn't Ghost Street very free?"
He Baiheng: "No, I have checked it. There has never been a prop like a bracelet set in the running program, but today I found that even the church patrolmen in the protection camp almost have one."
The colleague who sat down looked for a long time, rubbed his eyes and stood up and said: "I can't see it. Xiaobai, we are going to Angel Street for a drink, you should pack up and go together."
He Baiheng refused: "You go, I want to figure out this bug."
"Are you working overtime again? I don't see anything. Even if it is a bug, it should be a small display bug. Players may not be able to find it in the game. We can fix it tomorrow."
He Baiheng sat down again, staring at the display screen: "I don't like drinking. The taste of those shops on the street is still the same. There is nothing new. You go."
It was useless to persuade him. Seeing that time wasted, everyone left first.
There were two auxiliary computers on both sides of He Baiheng's workstation, checking the running program.
With the development of science and technology, holographic games have become the most mainstream leisure method in this world.
"Ghost Street" maintained by He Baiheng is just an ordinary city simulation management game among many holographic games.
When players enter the game, they initially have three career options: merchant, guest, and street guard.
Merchants are distributed in the four districts of the Ghost Street world. Players who choose to open a store and take the business route can independently choose business items and formulate business plans; players who choose to become guests take the adventure route and can explore any novel and interesting shops on Ghost Street; the street management office and the church are the protective forces in the game, and players need to pass certain tests to be qualified to become street guards.
In addition to patrolling the streets, managing and coordinating problems that may arise between shops, and problems between merchants and guests, street guards also have a hidden gameplay - they have to fight against an evil force in the dark of the street.
In order to increase the fun and highlights of the game, the game designer set up an evil force called "Alien" in the world of Ghost Street.
Aliens will invade the residents of Ghost Street and even have the mysterious ability to alienate players.
However, the players of the church and the street management office will protect the guests and businesses and maintain the peace and tranquility of Ghost Street.
From the results, this design is successful.
It is this novel gameplay that makes "Ghost Street" stand out from many similar games and become an enduring simulation business holographic game with zero negative reviews so far.
"Ghost Street" has been on the market for seven years and is still the top game of the same type.
As one of the maintainers of this game program, He Baiheng has a deep affection for "Ghost Street".
Although he did not enter the world of Ghost Street, he habitually observed the situation on Ghost Street every day.
This morning, while he was eating breakfast, he used Ghost Street as an electronic pickle to eat the bread he was tired of and the milk that had no milk flavor. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the wrist of a player who was chewing a pancake on the side of the road.
The little pixel man was wearing a silver bracelet on his left wrist. Because he was very familiar with the game world, He Baiheng had no impression of seeing this prop, and no store sold this style of bracelet.
But soon, he found that customers with this kind of bracelet were not isolated cases. Some merchants, even churches and administrators, also wore this bracelet.
He Baiheng investigated for a day, but still could not find the origin of the bracelet, and he could not figure out why all players had this kind of bracelet.
But he could see that the players were in a much better mood and even more active because they had this bracelet.
The activity level of players in Ghost Street has always been very high, but He Baiheng watched it every day and he could see that the activity level of players in recent days was different from before.
He Baiheng took out a pre-prepared meal from the refrigerator and heated it up. He sat at his workstation with the lunch box in his arms and continued to look for the unknown bug.
At midnight, the lights on Ghost Street went out one by one.
The whole world was as quiet as the world of the dead.
He Baiheng lifted his legs and rested them on the chair, his eyes sore and swollen, and he still hadn't solved the "mystery of the bracelet".
His eyes couldn't take it any longer, so He Baiheng put in some eye drops to relieve fatigue, tilted his head back and closed his eyes, intending to rest for five minutes.
But soon after he closed his eyes, he felt sleepy and fell asleep in this position.
The lights in the office were on, and the Ghost Street on the computer screen was shrouded in the night, as if it was asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, a store on the North District Street lit up on the main screen facing He Baiheng. Not
long after, the door of the store opened, and two little men in black cloaks walked out of the door.
The time in the lower right corner of the computer screen showed five twenty-five in the morning.
Unfortunately, He Baiheng was still asleep and did not see this amazing scene.
-----
Ghost Street, North District Street.
Lu Yao walked along the shadows of the street wearing a cloak, and the tall man leading the way also wore the same cloak.
The two of them moved in the darkest dawn, passing through the quiet and dark alleys, and kept approaching the central city area. Lu
Yao also wore a ghost bracelet on her wrist. She couldn't say anything, so she sent a message on the bracelet: "How far is it?"
The person walking in front stopped, looked back at Lu Yao, and typed on the bracelet.
[Pei Qi: Five minutes.]
[Lu Yao: Your ability is quite useful.]
[Pei Qi: I also received the blessing of the great demon Clarissa.]
The man walking in front and leading the way was Pei Qi, one of the shop assistants of the DIY hut. Pei Qi, like Chen You, received the blessing of Clarissa, but his ability was different from Chen You's.
One of Pei Qi's abilities was [Stealth at Night].
After several attempts, he found that the best way to use this skill was to sneak in and gather intelligence.
Even during the sleeping time of Ghost Street, he could walk around the streets safely and use his ability to protect a fellow traveler.
There were many players who received blessings and gained strange abilities on Ghost Street, and many of them were people like Pei Qi who gained the skills of sneaking in and gathering intelligence.
Lu Yao issued a task to obtain intelligence through the system of the Ghost Bracelet to players who have obtained similar abilities. The main content of the task is to obtain intelligence about him and submit it in the bracelet system.
The system will give corresponding rewards to the players who provide intelligence according to the value of the intelligence.
Rewards include but are not limited to real willpower, ghost coins, rare materials and replenishing potions.
Pei Qi contacted Lu Yao through the Ghost Bracelet in the middle of the night, telling Lu Yao that he had found the location of the Ghost Street control room and asked Lu Yao to accompany him.
According to Pei Qi, the game logout system is hidden somewhere on Ghost Street, but it turned out that he had no way to confirm it.
After getting the ghost bracelet, he found its location. He wanted to log out of the system and free the players on Ghost Street.
But Pei Qi needed someone with high military power to accompany him. His ability and himself had nothing to do with fighting.
Lu Yao thought his request was ridiculous and argued: "Xiao Pei, do you think I look like someone who can fight?"
Pei Qi: "The first time I met you in the church meditation room, I knew you were the one I was waiting for."
Pei Qi once received a prophecy - one day, the companion of God will come to Ghost Street. When
Pei Qi first received this news, he didn't take it seriously.
He didn't believe that there were gods in the world, but he had nowhere to go, so he decided to stay in the meditation room in the church.
But he didn't expect that such a person would actually appear.
Lu Yao: “…”
This sense of fate, like the appearance of a comic protagonist, is full of middle school atmosphere.
Lu Yao couldn’t help but think of everything.
It must be that guy.
However, Pei Qi’s goal and her purpose are the same.
If the system is in a world outside the game and sends the player out of the Ghost Street world, she can also use this opportunity to find it.
Lu Yao is not good at fighting, but she has many props.
Moreover, the self-proclaimed god on Ghost Street does not seem to be very powerful. Lu Yao thought that accompanying Pei Qi on this trip should not be a big problem.
The two of them shuttled through the shadows one after the other and arrived at their destination before dawn.
As Lu Yao expected, the main control area that Pei Qi mentioned was in a special passage area that only street management personnel could pass through.
They had to go through the long and thin red road bridge on one side of the road to the central city.
Pei Qi: [Those red rays that circulate like water flow contain a special substance that intercepts memories and information by scanning the brain waves of passers-by. Initially, He used this method to control the church and the street management office, and it is still the same now.]
Lu Yao was surprised: [The people in the church said it was a purification ray, because this light can be seen when entering and leaving, and the probability of mutation of the Ghost Street Management Team is much lower than that of ordinary people.]
Pei Qi sneered: [Fake. Even they themselves don’t remember the time when the light appeared and its true function.] Lu
Yao remembered that the system seemed to have reminded her at that time, but it didn’t finish it at that time. After careful consideration, it was reminding her not to be exposed to this ray.
However, Lu Yao is not a consciousness, but a real person. Her memory should not be scanned by this ray.
Lu Yao suddenly remembered what happened in the Floating World Continent, and became cautious again: [Then weren't our thoughts scanned as soon as we entered? ]
Pei Qi seemed to be prepared, and opened the system panel of the ghost bracelet, took out two masks, and handed one to Lu Yao.
[This is a prop I made with my ability, called 'Devil's Disguise', and you won't be noticed when you put it on. ]
Lu Yao: [Did you sneak in with this? ]
Pei Qi put on the mask and nodded gently: "Yeah. Let's go, I hope it can be over soon. It's almost dawn, and the store may not be peaceful."
Pei Qi also received the bounty mission posted by Lu Yao on the bracelet. Today is the day when his believers visit the DIY hut.
The visitor has bad intentions, and the owner is not in the store, so the situation may be out of control.
But Pei Qi also thinks that if he and Lu Yao succeed, after logging out of the system, everyone will leave together, and there will be no need to pay attention to the threats from him and his followers.
[Author's words]
He Baiheng: "Ghost Street" has been published for seven years and has no negative reviews.
Pei Qi: The army of bad reviews is about to arrive on the battlefield!
Countdown to the remote reunion...
