From the perspective of live broadcast effect, this is indeed the case. The sense of reward of killing Bai Liu in person and then fighting with the Ghost Mirror is stronger, and the audience is more willing to buy it. This has the same great publicity effect as Miao Feichi eating his opponent in person.
If it is for support and publicity, this is indeed the option that the zombies would choose.
In the past, there were guilds that liked to kill promising newcomers to boost their momentum before the start of the league. To put it more politely, it's called [dark horse sacrifice, guild invincible]. This happens every year, and it has been happening for a long time to newcomers who have no guild power but are very eye-catching. This year, the supporter Ji Mu Sicheng thought that he would be the one being sacrificed, so he was frantically collecting escape items such as (mermaid amulet).
Unexpectedly, Bai Liu, who was even more high-profile and arrogant than him, showed up in the middle of the race and directly killed Zhang Kui, who was ranked at the top. The gimmick far exceeded that of Mu Sicheng, and he took away Mu Sicheng's qualification to be sacrificed.
Mu Sicheng thought of the guild announcement about the zombies that he had seen.
With a shackle on his mouth, Miao Feichi shot a short video and posted it on the guild announcement interface, saying excitedly that he wanted to kill Bai Liu for eating live.
"It's just that I don't like to eat older people, smaller ones are better." Miao Feichi said jokingly, "It's a normal operation, a flag-off, how much you eat depends on your charging strength, for you I can eat a few more bites, the current support data is three pounds without dirty things, but it's okay if you can't finish it."
Miao Feichi licked his lips and sneered: "It's no pity to throw away his meat. It's not worth much if we sell it."
Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng strangely. He didn't know what he was thinking about. His expression suddenly became very ferocious, as if he wanted to eat someone. "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, I just thought of something that made me unhappy," Mu Sicheng gritted his teeth, but soon he controlled his distorted facial expression and looked at Bai Liu, "I'll follow you this time. At least the two of us together are better than you alone, right?"
Before this, Mu Sicheng had pestered Bai Liu for a while, wanting to enter the game with him, but Bai Liu refused no matter what and asked him to lead the new players.
Mu Sicheng was a little annoyed: "If something happens to you, it will be useless for me to bring these two newcomers out."
"Before anything happens, you can assume that nothing will happen to me." Bai Liu patted Mu Sicheng's shoulder and gave that fake business smile to comfort Mu Sicheng.
Mu Sicheng suddenly turned his head back, looking over Bai Liu's shoulder and whispering to Bai Liu with a frown, "They are here."
Bai Liu followed Mu Sicheng's gaze and saw two players, one tall and one short, walking over. The leading player's steps were very arrogant and domineering. The ordinary players around the login entrance quickly distanced themselves from this person, forming a vacuum circle.
The reason why the player retreated was not because the two were a combination of flesh-eating zombies and no player in the lobby could harm the other, but because of a system prompt:
[System warm reminder to logged-in players: Red-named player (Miao Feichi) has appeared. This player killed 12 players in a 50-player multiplayer instance yesterday. Please keep a distance from him and do not easily enter the same game with him to protect your personal safety.]
Miao Feichi smiled wickedly with a bit of indifference after hearing this hint. He seemed to have been accustomed to it for a long time. In that smile, there was also a kind of pride brought by the arrogance of controlling other people's lives and making others fear him.
Miao Feichi is handsome, with tall shoulders and long legs. He is a young man who looks a bit creamy. He looks quite good, and the hazy bloody feeling of him eating human flesh reminds people of mysterious and elegant creatures like vampires. The huge visual impact makes many viewers who like this taste crazy. His charging points have been high, and he is very good at cheering. He has always been ranked among the top 20 players in the small TV appearance area.
Bai Liu took a quick glance and objectively evaluated Miao Feichi's appearance - his bone structure and facial features were far inferior to Mu Ke's. Bai Liu felt that Miao Feichi had gone too far in his styling, and had a greasy vibe, as if he was deliberately showing off himself, and was very frivolous.
Following behind Miao Feichi was a taciturn middle-aged man, tall and strong, with a dark face, a string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck, and two fangs on the sides of his mouth that protruded like ivory. His eyes were bright, his steps were steady, and he looked very stable. Compared to the more flamboyant Miao Feichi, this middle-aged man seemed more difficult to deal with.
It seems that this person is Miao Feichi's father, Miao Gaojiang, who used to play with him.
Miao Feichi swaggered to the game wall of the login entrance, followed by a few people who were looking for someone everywhere. It was obvious that they were players from the Zombie Guild who were helping to find Bai Liu. This group of Zombie Guild players seemed to be quite afraid of Miao Feichi - this was an uncontrollable physiological fear that came from the lower organisms in the food chain towards higher organisms.
No one likes the way Miao Feichi looks at people. Even when looking at his subordinates, he squints his eyes and looks at them as if he is looking at food, as if he thinks that piece of human flesh is delicious.
To use Bai Liu's description, it was like a group of herbivores tremblingly following a carnivore.
These herbivores tried their best to please Miao Feichi:
"Brother Miao, are you here to play with Bai Liu to relax? There's really no need for you to do anything, we can handle it."
"It's because of those forum players' nonsense that our Brother Miao was offended. Didn't someone say that the cooperation between Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng will definitely be one of the highlights of next year's doubles competition? I think even if this Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng come together, our Brother Miao and Miao Dad will definitely beat them easily!"
"Hey." Miao Feichi's eyes narrowed because of the praise. He pretended to stop the followers behind him who were almost praising him to the sky, "You guys are too confident, but I still hope he won't be with Mu Sicheng. After all, I can't eat two adults in one meal."
"Fuck." Hearing this, Mu Sicheng, who was hiding in the crowd, cursed and wanted to roll up his sleeves and move forward. Bai Liu quickly grabbed his wrist and gave Mu Sicheng a look, telling him to leave quickly.
"Fuck." Mu Sicheng couldn't help but whisper, "Miao Feichi is really the most petty player I've ever seen in the league. Isn't it just because someone praised our good cooperation in the forum that we can beat them next year? I guess it's because of this that Miao Feichi targeted you. He just can't stand the new combination that plays better than him."
However, although the words of these herbivorous followers are unpleasant to hear, they are basically the main opinions of many players on the forum.
Apart from the fans of Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng who are relatively confident in them, the rest of the passers-by players are quite pessimistic and think that Mu Sicheng and Bai Liu will most likely lose against Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang.
In "Last Train to Blast", only Zhang Kui is a relatively high-level player, while Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang are professional players, which can be said to be not in the same league as Zhang Kui. Many weird players have already posted messages to give Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng a RIP, saying that it is a pity that this new couple cannot participate in next year's league, and they can try again next year.
In fact, this is not surprising. Bai Liu had offended many people before. The guild players and fans during the cheering season were all very crazy. He killed Zhang Kui, who was said to be a player of the King Guild's reserve team, and took the title of the second in the system rating of Spades. While he was at the peak of his popularity, it can be said that he had offended all the fans of the first and second guilds with the strongest combat power.
The Scavenger Guild's use of the killing of Bai Liu for publicity is not only gratifying to these players, but it is also worthy of praise.
Bai Liu lowered his voice and said, "Go and take care of the new people. Stop standing here and watching the fun."
Mu Sicheng glared at him resentfully, "So you are determined not to let me follow you, right?"
"Yes." Bai Liu admitted readily, "You should train the newcomers well and help Xiang Chunhua and the others to play the multiplayer dungeon of the first-level game."
Mu Sicheng still wanted to fight: "I can bring them to play dungeons with you! Isn't this also like bringing new people in?"
"The only new game on this wall is a level 2 dungeon. Because of the old player Miao Feichi watching over me, I can't go to the old game. I can only go to the dungeon of this new game." Bai Liu said in a very cold tone, "I don't think you and I have the ability to lead three newcomers to a level 2 dungeon. It was very dangerous for me to lead Mu Ke through this dungeon this time, but at least he has passed two dungeons by himself and is very obedient to me. I can still give it a try. Do you still want to bring Xiang Chunhua and Liu Fu to join in the fun? Are you tired of living and want to form a group to die for me?"
Mu Sicheng was irritable and anxious. He felt that this man was like a monkey and would jump up in the next second because of Bai Liu's anger. "But at least I am here. At least I can defeat that idiot Miao Feichi. My personal skills can defeat him! I have also found enough equipment for the five black fingers, so I can at least fight Miao Feichi. What the hell are you doing alone against two S-level players!"
"What about Liu Fu, Xiang Chunhua, and Mu Ke?" Bai Liu looked directly at Mu Sicheng. "If you force new people to come to this dungeon to help me, will you care about the lives of these three people? If you don't bring Xiang Chunhua and Liu Fu, and let them practice on their own, how can you practice cooperation with them?"
Mu Sicheng pursed his lips fiercely and said nothing, but it was obvious that he had acquiesced - he just didn't care about the lives of these three people, nor did he really want to cooperate with others.
"I have something to say about your attitude towards your future league players, Mu Sicheng. In the future, you will not only have to cooperate with me, but also with others at any time. I am not only training Xiang Chunhua and Liu Fu, but also you," Bai Liu said lightly. He did not preach or refute harshly, but raised his eyes to look at Mu Sicheng, "I will not die. Last time, I was alone against the ghost mirror and I didn't die. This time, I will not die easily. You should have this level of basic trust in me."
"I will come out, and we will participate in the league together." Bai Liu said calmly, "I keep my word. I have never lied to you, have I, Mu Sicheng?"
Mu Sicheng gritted his teeth, and finally his voice was a little hoarse. He responded with a reluctant "OK". He was indeed no match for Bai Liu.
Bai Liu asked Mu Sicheng to leave.
Bai Liu relied on his short stature to search quickly in the crowd, and finally found Mu Ke in a corner of the entrance. Mu Ke was stunned when he saw Bai Liu, but thinking that he could change his appearance in this game, and that the voice that Bai Liu spoke was indeed his, Mu Ke would never mistake Bai Liu's voice.
Because it was this voice that saved him.
Bai Liu briefly explained the current situation and asked, "We will face pursuit after we go in. Are you sure you want to come with me? You still have one last chance to regret. I just saw a person who is not as good-looking as you who became the top in the appearance value area by doing bizarre eating broadcasts. With your looks, you should be able to do better than him if you develop your skills well."
"...with you." Mu Ke looked at Bai Liu with certainty.
"Okay, we can't enter the old game if we're being hunted, because the other party must have played the old game before, and we have no advantage." Bai Liu spoke quickly, "In fact, the safest is the single-player game, but the benefits of single-player games are too low, and the single-player games on the game wall are full. We can only choose some new multiplayer game copies, but I looked around and only found one."
"We may have seen this copy before." Bai Liu raised his eyes and looked at Mu Ke, "Its name is "Love Welfare Home"."
Before entering the game, Mu Sicheng once asked Bai Liu how to explain that if the [parallel universe] did not exist, how could the [real world] formed by all things have only one and predetermined results? Just like Bai Liu's view on the orphanage, as long as he did not choose the game of the orphanage, he would not die in the orphanage and leave any traces in it.
But now, it was as if an invisible hand was controlling everything. The wanted order, robbery, raid by high-level league players and other events were connected into one line, forcing Bai Liu to follow the only but destined track he saw.
It was as if the only choice before him now was the game related to the orphanage.
Lu Yizhang always likes to say that everything has its own destiny. If the "God" in this game means that he should participate in this game, then he cannot escape no matter what, or he has never thought about escaping.
Bai Liu raised his eyes and looked at Mu Ke: "We will enter the game separately, one after the other."
————————
On the game wall, a game icon that looked like a lifeless door to a children's welfare home suddenly lit up.
[Game copy name: "Love Welfare Home"]
[Level: Level 2 (Games with a player mortality rate greater than 50% and less than 80% are considered Level 2 games)]
[Mode: Multiplayer (0/6)]
[General description: This is a horror game with two lines of decryption. In this game, players have two identities, and each of your identities is equivalent to a part of your body. Protecting children is protecting yourself, and killing children is also protecting yourself. In the end, what will you choose? Choose to be a child, or always be a dirty adult...]
[The game "Love Welfare Home" has gathered two players, and four more players are needed to start]
[System prompt: Bai Liu, the player whose small TV you have collected, has logged into the game~ Please go and watch~]
The sound of this reminder made Miao Feichi's eyes flash, and he snorted with an ambiguous laugh: "Do you think I can't find you if you run into the game? There are only so many games you can enter."
Miao Gaojiang analyzed succinctly: "Bai Liu will probably choose a new game. He has no advantage in old games." After searching the wall, his eyes finally stopped on a game icon in a corner that no one was interested in.
The game icon is a gloomy gate of a children's welfare home. A few children can be vaguely seen jumping and playing at the door. This is a new game that Miao Gaozhuang has never seen before.
"Caring Welfare Home?" Miao Feichi looked at the children on the icon, licked the roots of his teeth that were starting to itch, and his eyes became greedy and bloody. "This name is quite to my taste."
"Brother Miao, make sure that except for this Welfare Home game, all other games on this wall are either fully logged in or old games, and this is the only one with only two people logged in."
"Two people?" Miao Feichi sneered, "It seems that Mu Sicheng is with him. Well, this is a second-level game. I don't want to bring anyone else. If I bring you, I will have to split my attention to take care of you. Just my father and I will be enough. You can go back."
After saying that, Miao Feichi pulled Miao Gaojiang, who had only said a few simple words, into the game.
[The game "Love Welfare Home" has gathered 4 players, and 2 more players are needed to start]
[System prompt: The players Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang, who have collected the small TV, have logged into the game~ Please go and watch~]
The players who logged into the game watched helplessly as Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang, the father and son, followed Bai Liu into the game.
They were a little scared when they saw the icon of "Love Welfare Home". Few of these ordinary players had the courage to play a new game. In addition, there was a pair of league players who were about to start a killing spree, which made them stay away from it.
However, there were also players who had been staring at the welfare home icon without moving since Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang logged into the game.
Liu Huai stared at the gate with the "Love Welfare Home" icon.
This gate is exactly the same as the gate of the welfare home where Liu Jiayi works!
Liu Huai is also a survivor of "The Last Train". He knows about the Mirror City bombing, but he didn't think much of it before. But he was seduced by Bai Liu's words before, and now he has encountered a game that seems to be designed based on a real-life prototype, and it is also designed based on the orphanage where his sister works...
Liu Jiayi had no idea what had happened to her in the welfare home because she was blind, but there were some strange spots and bruises on her body, like mushroom-like dots all over the little girl's snow-white and thin body. But when Liu Jiayi was asked, she seemed confused and didn't know where these bite marks came from.
The result of the investigation in the real world was food poisoning, but Liu Huai didn't quite believe it, and unfortunately there were no other clues.
But there are no clues in the real world, and I don’t know if there are any in the game that this game is based on real life.
Liu Huai gritted his teeth, equipped himself with skills, took a look at the points he had borrowed from other players, took a deep breath and entered the game.
[The game "Love Welfare Home" has gathered five players, and one more player is needed to start]
The next second after Liu Huai entered the game, a little girl in a hospital gown suddenly appeared in a small corner of the login entrance.
She seemed to be unable to see, and looked around with empty eyes, as if she had not yet realized where she was. She touched her arm, a little confused, and called out "brother" softly. Then she seemed to be sucked into the game, and instantly disappeared at the game entrance where people were coming and going.
[The game "Love Welfare Home" has gathered players, and the game has officially begun]
At the moment the login system sounded the start of the six-player game, five small TVs in the multiplayer area lit up at the same time.
Someone in the audience who had rushed over after being prompted by the system asked in confusion: "Isn't this a six-player game? Why do I only see five screens lit up? Did an advanced player turn off the small TV?"
The top 100 players in the game's total points list have one chance per month to shut down their small TV live broadcasts. Miao Feichi has the highest total points ranking in this live broadcast, but his ranking is 107, so he does not have the right to broadcast live. However, for someone like Miao Feichi, who ranks close to 100, it is also possible for him to buy the system the right to shut down his own live broadcast room if he is willing to spend a lot of money.
But for a player like Miao Feichi who relies on live streaming for promotion, and who has created such a big gimmick specifically for promotion this time, it is absolutely impossible for him to shut down the live streaming.
Miao Feichi didn’t turn off the live broadcast, so who turned it off?
But the other players are not ranked in the top 100, they are still a long way off and do not have the qualifications to be on the live broadcast...
Soon, the audience found the answer in a small TV that lit up on the player's screen. A fan of Bai Liu recognized that the person in the small TV was Liu Huai, who had passed the previous round with Bai Liu.
Liu Huai looked at Liu Jiayi who suddenly appeared in front of him with a pale face, and he almost knelt down.
Liu Huai lay paralyzed on the ground, looking at Liu Jiayi who was sitting on the ground in a daze, his tone full of uncontrollable fear: "Jiayi, why are you in this game?!"
Liu Jiayi seemed also confused. She hugged her knees in fear. She was still wearing a hospital gown and shook her head slightly in confusion.
Liu Huai's reaction frightened her. Her misty eyes were covered with tears and her voice began to sob: "I don't know either. I just seemed to have taken a nap. Before I went to sleep, I wanted to see you very much, brother. Then a voice said that it would satisfy my desire and let me see you."
"I agreed." Liu Jiayi's voice trembled a little, "Then I came in."
"Brother, did I do something wrong? Did I agree to something I shouldn't have agreed to?"
