Chapter 26 Siren Town (There are audience comments, don't buy if you don't like it!)



In the rain, from far away, another beam of light came from the opposite side and merged with the beam of light in the alley, blending into a strong beam of light on the avenue of Siren Town.

The light-fearing mermaid seemed to be immediately stopped by the light and dared not move forward.

But this dazzling and scorching light almost penetrated the entire Siren Town, so these photophobic mermaids seemed to be completely locked behind the light and could no longer cross the beam to chase Bai Liu.

Even the mermaid sailor, who was protected by amulets and not so afraid of strong light, did not easily cross the light, but wandered around it cautiously and tested it.

On the other side, Bai Liu was leaning against the wall, gasping for breath. There was a 3D projector placed at his feet. The shadow of Bai Liu in the projector was taking out a flashlight and shining it, which combined with the flashlight beam of Bai Liu in the alley to form this strong light blocking the way.

He wiped the raindrops from his forehead and sighed: "Fortunately, this 3D projector is waterproof."

Bai Liu's small TV was still playing the bright light beam that could blind people's eyes.

The audience in front of the small TV was silent for a few seconds. The audience who had previously questioned whether Bai Liu would be caught up was stunned. After a long pause, he stammered, "Good, very powerful..."

"I doubted the judgment of the Shepherd God before. I was wrong. I was blind to the truth. It's not the player who is bad, it's my judgment. I'm going to go back and eat with my eyeballs."

"Is this new guy playing like in the death comedy section? I feel like he really treats this horror game as a game. Winning or not, earning points or not is not important. The most important thing is the gaming experience."

"Interesting." Mu Sicheng narrowed his eyes and bit the candy with his canine teeth. "Rainy days were clearly a condition given by the system to restrict Bai Liu, but he actually used it in reverse."

Bai Liu dragged the cart all the way to the seaside. The mermaid sailor behind him hesitated for a while, but finally crossed the light beam and chased him relentlessly - the mermaid sailor was not afraid of the light.

But the photophobic mermaid wax statues were indeed all stuck behind the light beam, so the danger here was much reduced.

At this time, the player only needs to go into the sea immediately and send the Siren King to the bottom of the sea to pass the level. Because most players have been highly alienated by this point, and their form is more like that of mermaids, so they can go directly into the sea and send the Siren King back to the deep sea.

After seeing this, Wang Shun finally understood why Mu Sicheng had said that it was best not to increase the spirit value.

Because the spirit value is linked to the alienation status, if the player's spirit value rises after drifting, he will change from the [Mermaid] state back to the [Human] state.

[Humans] cannot enter the deep sea and send the Siren King back.

The final scene of "Siren Town" where the Siren King is sent back can only be done by [Mermaids]. Bai Liu's level of alienation is just right. She doesn't need to float and can go directly into the sea as a [Mermaid].

Wang Shun heaved a sigh of relief when he thought of this, feeling fortunate that Bai Liu did not drift away. However, he was also somewhat ashamed of his own meddling.

The gaming awareness of a great player like Mu Sicheng is indeed not comparable to that of a small fry like him, but Bai Liu, a newcomer, can actually stay calm and not drift away...

Comparing yourself with others is really frustrating, Wang Shun shook his head.

Logically, at this time Bai Liu only needed to drag the Siren King into the sea and try to avoid the mermaid sailors behind him. However, when Bai Liu reached the seaside, he turned around and did not go into the sea. Instead, he went back to the big ship that Bai Liu had boarded for the mermaid catching activity before!

The big ship was docked at the seaside. Bai Liu pulled a cart and went directly to the ship!

That's the mermaid sailors' base camp!

Wang Shun was almost getting a heart attack from Bai Liu's twists and turns. He covered his aching chest and said, "It's almost the end! Why would he go on someone else's ship? Is he going to let himself be caught?"

Mu Sicheng was so frightened by Bai Liu's passionate and suicidal action before passing the level that he lost control and broke the lollipop into pieces. He also coughed several times because of the sting of the candy pieces.

Mu Sicheng punched his chest a few times with red eyes, and after swallowing the few pieces of candy stuck in his throat, he coughed and said, "If Bai Liu goes to the sea at this time, it will be easy for the mermaid sailors behind to catch up, because the mermaid sailors move faster in the sea."

"The usual way to clear the level is to use some props to limit the mermaid sailor's movement speed, such as floating on the sea surface and using a flaming torch to limit the novice, or just directly resist, as long as the spirit value does not drop completely before completing the task."

"Bai Liu probably wanted to get on board to get rid of the mermaid sailors behind him." Mu Sicheng analyzed clearly, "But getting on board won't work. First, there are still some mermaid sailors on board who haven't gotten off. The boat is so small, if Bai Liu gets on board, he will easily be caught by the mermaid sailors who are still on board."

"Secondly, the mermaid sailors in the sea can also climb onto the ship, and these monsters move faster than the ship, so Bai Liu's action of getting on board is meaningless."

As soon as Mu Sicheng finished speaking, something happened to Bai Liu in the small TV.

Bai Liu pushed the cart along the wooden board connecting the boat and the land, and ran quickly towards the boat. The mermaid sailor on the boat heard the news and moved immediately, coming in front of Bai Liu, stretching out his sharp flippers to grab Bai Liu's cheek. The mermaid sailor who was chasing Bai Liu also stepped onto the wooden board, and was about to touch Bai Liu's shirt.

Wang Shun was terrified by this wave of attack from both sides, but the person involved, Bai Liu, didn't even glance at him. He took out a 3D projector from his pocket and threw it towards the side of the boat without being moved.

The projector bounced twice after it fell to the ground, reflecting a projection of Bai Liu who was equally provocative. The mermaid sailor hesitated for a moment between the two and went to the other Bai Liu.

Wang Shun broke out in a cold sweat and wiped his forehead with a towel. "Is Bai Liu going to use the same old trick again, using the light from the projector to restrict these mermaid sailors, or is he just confusing them to delay time?"

But soon he was confused again: "But mermaid sailors are not afraid of light. Even if Bai Liu's projection takes out a strong flashlight, it can't stop these mermaid sailors who are not afraid of light. The beams of light on the ground didn't stop the mermaid sailors before, so it certainly can't stop them here."

"You are wrong. You recorded the page of the Mermaid Sailor's Monster Book, right? Take a closer look at what the weakness of that page is."

Mu Sicheng's eyes lit up slightly as he watched Bai Liu, who had a calm face, on the small TV. He couldn't help but admire, "I know why he came on board. This guy is really amazing. No wonder the system wants to weaken him like this."

Wang Shun hurriedly opened his electronic recorder. He had indeed written down the page "The Siren Town Monster Book - Mermaid Sailor". He opened it and looked carefully:

["Siren Town Monster Book" - Mermaid Sailor (3/4)]

[Monster Name: Mermaid Sailor (Butterfly State)]

[Weaknesses: Fear of bright light, Amulet, Siren King]

[Attack method: bite and grab (after being grabbed, there is a certain probability that the mutated state will be triggered)]

"Hey, this is so strange." Wang Shun pointed at the "Weakness" item on the electronic recorder and said to himself, "The mermaid sailor's weakness is obviously fear of strong light, why did the mermaid sailor seem to be completely unaffected by light when he was on land before?"

"Amulet." Mu Sicheng pointed out to Wang Shun, "With the protection of the amulet, strong light has no effect on the mermaid sailor."

Wang Shun reacted suddenly. He looked up at the small TV: "Yes! That's it! So Bai Liu is going to--"

Mu Sicheng looked up at the small TV and smiled, "Yes, Bai Liu is going to the bottom of the ship, where these monsters keep their amulets. He is going to smash the amulets of these mermaid sailors, and then these mermaid sailors will lose their protection, and the strong light props in his hand will work to restrict their actions."

Bai Liu in the small TV had already left the monsters behind him and came to the base. He raised high the pickaxe that had smashed the bulletproof glass, and calmly began to smash the wax statues of mermaid amulets one by one.

The amulet wax statue shattered into pieces under his feet. As the white willow in the bottom warehouse smashed most of the amulets, the [White Willow Projection] on the deck took out a flashlight in time, and it looked like a pair of white willows were fighting a coordinated battle on the bottom of the ship.

[Bai Liu Projection] smiled and held the flashlight horizontally, with his hand on the switch, still in the same posture as if pulling the trigger. With a "click", a straight and bright beam of light passed through all the mermaid sailors surrounding [Bai Liu Projection].

Faced with the strong light, the mermaid sailors who had lost the protection of their amulets covered their eyes and prostrated themselves on the ground, uttering sharp and piercing wails. Even Wang Shun, Mu Sicheng and some spectators in the front row raised their hands to block the light from the small TV, which was too bright.

"This new guy is...too cruel." Wang Shun had mixed feelings. "I even feel a little sorry for these monsters."

But those mermaid monsters soon began to swim on both sides of the light, and some even jumped into the sea, preparing to climb up from the other end to attack Bai Liu.

This made Wang Shun frown: "Even with the flashlight, Bai Liu only has one beam of light here, and his 3D projector has run out of energy. Although this beam of light can also restrict the mermaid sailor's movements, it can't directly trap him like before on the shore."

Mu Sicheng crossed his arms and calmly explained the facts: "Because even if the two light sources are connected into a line, it is impossible to completely restrict these mermaid sailors, because the location here is on the ship, which is different from the previous town."

"Bai Liu can directly use the light to block the road from the town to the sea, but if there is only one light on the ship, the mermaid sailors can escape from both sides of the light into the sea, so it is useless."

"Yes." Wang Shun held his chin in thought, "It's too late to buy a projector to record it at this point. I can only buy a flashlight so that the three beams of light can form a triangle. This will complete the film, and we can trap the mermaid sailor in the triangle formed by the light and on the boat."

"That's what I thought, too." Mu Sicheng nodded. "But at this point, if players want to buy a flashlight, they'll probably have to spend a lot of money, because the closer it gets to the end, the more expensive the game items will be. For example, at this point in time in Siren Town, a key item like a flashlight costs at least 100 points."

"One hundred points?!" Wang Shun was shocked. "This is too expensive. Isn't this obviously a rip-off?"

Mu Sicheng squinted at Wang Shun and said, "At this critical moment, will you buy a flashlight worth 100 points?"

Wang Shun was silent for a while, then blurted out one word: "Buy."

Bai Liu came out from the basement holding a pickaxe and dragging a cart. He also had a flashlight in his hand. It seemed that he had the same idea as Wang Shun and the others. He opened the system store and bought props as soon as he came out.

As he was sliding the interface, Wang Shun glanced at the price of the flashlights in the Bailiu system store and couldn't help but sneer: "A flashlight for 250 points? Is this stealing points?! This price is too damn outrageous!"

But after Bai Liu slid through the flashlight sales interface without changing his expression, Wang Shun began to worry again: "Hey, Bai Liu, it doesn't matter if it's a little expensive. Expensive can save your life. After you do this, you will pass the level 100%! Don't worry about these points!"

The other spectators were also anxious. They were only a little bit away from completing the level, but Bai Liu was still slowly choosing props. The flashlight was placed in front of him, and he looked so poor that he couldn't bear to buy it. Everyone was very anxious:

"Bai Liu! Don't mind this little money! I'll charge it for you, so hurry up and buy it!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Give us Bai Liu Shui Di a flashlight! The child needs help!"

"Fuck! You're so picky about choosing a partner! Just listen to me! Just the 100-point, most beautiful flashlight will be good enough! You two will definitely be happy together! I'll charge you as a gift!"

Even Mu Sicheng opened his [Points Wallet] panel, ready to charge Bai Liu.

At this moment, Bai Liu suddenly stopped moving. He seemed to have finally seen the prop he wanted. A smile appeared on his face. Bai Liu pointed at an item with a firm gaze and bought it.

[Do players buy high-definition mirrors? ]

Bai Liu said without hesitation: [Yes]

[System prompt: 3 points, thank you for your patronage]

Bai Liu placed the reflector in a corner of the boat, then tied the flashlight to the bow and gently fiddled with the flashlight switch.

The bright white beam of light from the flashlight passed through the mist on the sea surface and shot into the reflector, and was reflected out by the reflector. Finally, this beam of light merged with the light of the [flashlight projection] in the hand of [Bai Liu Projection].

Three beams of light so bright that they made one's scalp tingle were like three high-wattage LED tubes, forming an extremely bright triangular high-brightness area on the boat, encircling the mermaid sailor inside. The mermaid sailor covered his eyes and rolled on the ground wailing, but he could not get out of this area at all.

Bai Liu sat on one knee at the bow. The sea breeze and heavy rain made his hair messy. His eyes were hidden in the flying black hair and could not be seen clearly. But he smiled and said, "Stay on the boat, sailors."

[System notification: Because most monsters have been restricted by the player Bai Liu, the heavy rain has lost its ability to weaken the player Bai Liu. The weather is changing now. Please be prepared.]

【Weather change: heavy rain → sunny】

Light slowly rose from behind Bai Liu. He had one foot on the cart and the other foot dangling outside the boat. The overlapping dark clouds cast down golden-foil sunlight. The heavy rain stopped, and the sunlight poured onto Bai Liuling's chaotic and ferocious face. Coupled with his casual expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, there was a strange photographic feeling.

[Player Bai Liu enters the final prologue of "Siren Town" - Return to the Siren King]

After a short period of silence, the audience in front of Bai Liu's small TV started to scream wildly and recharge, with players hugging and high-fiving each other excitedly, and the number of likes was climbing exponentially almost every second.

Mu Sicheng took back his hand that was about to praise. He was stunned for two seconds, and then he couldn't help but laugh and applaud: "You are really good, Bai Liu."

Wang Shun also started to applaud, his hands turned red from clapping. He was really excited and sweat was running down his face.

The other audience members were not much better than Wang Shun, and they were so excited that they looked like they were going to play "Unforgettable Tonight" on the spot:

"When you say it's going to rain, it rains. When you say it's going to be sunny, it's going to be sunny again! Are you the son of weather, Bai Liu?"

"Give me fame! Give me explosion! If you take my charging money, you will be at the forefront for me! Bai Liu, go for it!! Go to the Rising Star List!"

[Congratulations to player Bai Liu for rising in the promotion position and entering the central hall center screen single-player split-screen strong recommendation position]

【Welcome back to your original position, player Bai Liu】

————————————

This time, as soon as Bai Liu appeared on the screen, almost all the audiences in the marginal areas followed Bai Liu.

This large group of excited spectators with red faces crossed the entire game hall, attracting the attention of many passers-by players, who came over to ask them what TV they were watching.

"What are you looking at? You are arguing so heatedly."

"Son of the Weather!" "Mirror God!" "The awesome son that the Shepherd God just recognized!"

Player asking: "???????"

What on earth is on that little TV you guys are watching?

When I ran to the back, many players joined in out of curiosity.

The fastest runners were Wang Shun and Mu Sicheng. When Wang Shun was running, he found that Li Gou had been there as well. This man must have seen Mu Sicheng coming and hid behind.

Now he was running after the main force with a knife in his hand, his face looking extremely gloomy. He must have seen Mu Sicheng supporting Bai Liu, and realized that Bai Liu was not a tough guy whom he could easily control.

Wang Shun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for Bai Liu.

For players who play like Li Gou, it is better for Bai Liu to stay as far away from him as possible.

By the time Wang Shun and his group ran to the recommended position, there were already many spectators in the viewing area in front of Bai Liu's small TV. Some of them had followed from previous areas but left halfway, and some were looking at Bai Liu in amazement as he rose again.

There were also those who had previously mocked Bai Liu, saying that Bai Liu was a nitpicker from the Central District Guild with low aesthetic tastes.

I don't know what these audiences are thinking. They obviously don't like Bai Liu, but when Bai Liu appears on the central screen, they are the first audience to enter. These audiences are still crowding in the front, pointing and gesticulating at Bai Liu's small TV, and complaining loudly:

"Hey, why is it rising again? It's so annoying to see."

"Why do so many people give him thumbs up? Why? It's simply lowering the average level of the strongly recommended position. No, I have to give him a thumbs down, and I have to give him a thumbs down quickly."

"I just don't understand. What's so good about pretending to be cool? He was able to get tens of thousands of likes, and 4,000 to 5,000 people recharged him. Are they all idiots? Spending points on such a person? There is nothing else to waste in life, right?"

"It's so annoying, so annoying, so annoying, can he get out of the strong push position and replace him with a few players with a similar level to Shepherd?"

This group of audiences has already disturbed the normal audiences from watching small TV, but the normal audiences generally don't want to conflict with these psychopaths who have the support of a big guild, so they just endure it.

Mu Sicheng looked at the audience, the corners of his mouth and eyes turned down, his expression slightly gloomy, and he seemed a little unhappy, but he still had a smile on his face.

He casually took off his monkey hat, walked to the front row, turned around and smiled at the audience who were talking loudly. In stark contrast to before, he politely put one hand on his chest and held his hat behind his back with the other hand to salute the audience.

Because Mu Sicheng was holding a monkey's plush hat, this gentleman's etiquette looked a bit funny, but this did not affect the audience who covered their mouths and exclaimed:

"Shepherd God!!! You are Shepherd God, right? You are actually watching his little TV!"

There are also those who directly questioned: "Shepherd, can I ask why you recommend this player? He has no gaming skills at all but he always takes the position of strongly recommending single-player games. It's really annoying and low."

Mu Sicheng smiled and said, "Hello, I just heard your conversation and I felt a little nostalgic."

The audience was immediately excited by the performance and began to comment on Bai Liu:

"Shepherd God, you also think this guy is annoying, right? This kind of pretentious freak should have died long ago. He is taking up space and preventing many capable people from getting on."

"I have a lot of trouble when I scan live broadcasts because this kind of person takes up the screen, so I can't see any high-quality game live broadcasts! I just hope he dies soon and falls off the recommended list!"

"Shepherd, why don't you just go into the game and start a live stream to squeeze him out!"

These people spoke in a loud and excited tone, as if seeing the newcomer Bai Liu being squeezed out was a great thing - but suppressing newcomers has always been the favorite thing of these guild players, especially some players who have no special abilities themselves. They wish all the newcomers would die so as not to take up their promotion positions.

"No, what I mean by nostalgia is..." Mu Sicheng's smile became more realistic, with a lollipop in his mouth and a somewhat distracted expression, "Because when I first appeared on the strongly recommended promotion position, there were also many viewers on the central screen who stepped on me and scolded me like this."

The audience, who had been talking at once, seemed to have their throats strangled. They immediately stopped talking in embarrassment, looked at each other, and communicated with their eyes.

Looking at these audiences who spoke nonsense in front of Bai Liu and kept silent in front of him, Mu Sicheng laughed out loud.

He smiled innocently, leaned forward slightly and asked the audience: "Do you know what happened to those audience members who scolded me?"

The spectators stared directly into Mu Sicheng's dark red eyes, feeling horrified and frightened.

A laughing cartoon monkey was reflected in Mu Sicheng's pupils, and the monkey's eyes glowed a bright red.

The spectators in the front row only then realized that the dark red color in Mu Sicheng's eyes was not the original color of Mu Sicheng's eyes, but was caused by the light emitted by the monkey in his eyes.
