Task
It was the first time for everyone to play, and both humans and ghosts were unfamiliar with the map. Jiang Yuran guessed that everyone must have been dodging in a hurry.
She quietly walked out of the visitor entrance and saw the aquarium lobby. A semi-circular glass made up half of the lobby wall, and small fish swam among the colorful corals.
The most suitable hiding spot here is a shipwreck-shaped ornament in the center of the hall. Jiang Yuran controlled himself and did not make any sound as he approached the cabin.
Sure enough, as soon as she thrust the harpoon down, an unlucky guy yelled, "Ah! ---"
The other party jumped out and ran away. Coincidentally, his ID was Jiang Yubai.
As a human, his appearance and clothing have been changed to a tour group POLO shirt that matches the map, and he is wearing a blue baseball cap, while his face is that of an ordinary default male model.
Jiang Yuran's eyes lit up: "Don't be afraid, brother, I won't hurt you!"
"No one would believe you!" Jiang Yubai ran faster than a rabbit.
It was different from playing in a haunted house. The people chasing him were not the staff who simply wanted to scare him, but the players who wanted to "catch him". Jiang Yubai was both scared and excited, as if he was really being chased by a ghost.
After confirming that this game was not a scam, Jiang Yuran and Jiang Yubai opened the live broadcast in the fan group. Just now from Jiang Yubai's perspective, a sharp harpoon suddenly stabbed down from the narrow and dark hiding place. When he looked up, he saw a dark face with a gas mask, and the barrage of comments screamed in fear.
【Ahhh, what a thrilling scene! 】
[As expected of Director Shang, such a simple game can create the atmosphere of a horror movie QAQ]
But from Jiang Yuran's perspective, the style of the barrage is completely different.
[It turns out that pretending to be a ghost and scaring people is so much fun, hahaha. 】
[This is so exciting, Jiang Mei, quickly catch your brother! ! ]
Jiang Yuran didn't know how to control the scale just now, and the harpoon only hit Jiang Yubai's clothes. In this game, you must use the ghost's weapon to directly hit the human's limbs to freeze the opponent, and then you can grab it away.
After scooping the person away, the ghost cannot kill the person directly. It can only imprison the human in the ghost cage and then catch the next one.
While humans are imprisoned, companions can come to the rescue, break open the ghost cage and help them escape.
But three times is a law. Once caught more than twice, humans will become ghosts.
There is an exit on each side of the hall, which looks like an underwater tunnel, with sharks passing overhead and many branches in the middle.
When running in the tunnel, the footsteps would echo, which was equivalent to exposing one's direction. Jiang Yubai had no choice but to choose a fork in the road at random, but when he came in, he realized that it was a wrong decision: this fork in the road was very short and connected to both sides!
He half-crouched down, trying his best to hide in the shadows, his heart pounding, and heard Jiang Yuran walking along the main road of the tunnel and asking:
"Brother, where are you?... Stop hiding, come out quickly..."
Her voice echoed in the corridor, passing through the water, becoming distorted and strange. The lower half of the masked ghost's body was transparent, and it made no sound when it moved.
The tension of the barrage also reached its peak.
[It feels like being chased by a murderer. It's so oppressive! 】
[You really recommended it to me, I will place an order right away! ]
"Brother? ...You're exposed."
"I saw you."
Jiang Yubai thought, bah, I don’t believe it, he must be tricking me!
But suddenly there was no sound outside. He waited for a long time, feeling doubtful and uncertain. He bravely poked his head out slightly.
The corridor was empty, without a ghost in sight.
The next moment, my shoulder was suddenly patted, and a ghostly voice came from behind: "I'm here."
"Ahhh!" Jiang Yubai was so frightened that he wanted to jump up on the spot, and the barrage was also shocked, but Jiang Yuran had already stabbed his waist with a harpoon. He was frozen in place and unable to move, and was dragged away by Jiang Yuran by the collar.
Jiang Yubai: "..."
Brothers and sisters killing each other, is there any morality?
After being caught, humans became silent, and Jiang Yubai could only express his unwillingness and anger with his eyes.
The ghost cage in this map also looked like an aquarium. He was locked in it. Jiang Yuran even made a scissors hand gesture and took a photo with him and took a screenshot.
Jiang Yubai: "..."
That’s too much!
The comments were so funny that even those watching Jiang Yubai’s perspective rebelled.
[Go! Ranran, put everyone in the aquarium! ]
[Hehe, tremble, you weak humans! ]
[Ahhh, it looks so fun, I have already placed an order! Who in the group will respond? ]
Jiang Yubai: “???”
Damn it, why are you all on the ghost's side!
Shang Jingyan also gathered her friends to play together. Yun Yongxue and Luo Zhiyu were required to participate. Shang Jingyan also called Xue Jiang and Zhang Nian. Nuoer also insisted on joining, but there was still one person missing, so she opened up random matching for passers-by.
"I want to choose the Rose Castle!" Zhang Nian has a lively personality, and the light ball of his spiritual body bounces like a popping candy.
"Okay." Shang Jingyan is the developer. Unlike the other initial players, she logged in with her own account, and all existing maps are unlocked.
The appearance of the Rose Castle is similar to that of the Evil God's Castle, but the interior is completely retro. The rose garden outside is actually a wild cemetery with many tombstones with crosses erected on them and a blood moon hanging high in the sky.
Shang Jingyan and Yun Yongxue's spirit body light balls chose camouflage mode, otherwise if they were all revealed, they would be several degrees brighter than the rest of the people, like dazzling oversized light bulbs.
In the spiritual space, the values of physical strength, health bar, etc. all depend on the level of spiritual strength. Yun Yongxue is weak and sickly in reality, but few people can beat him here.
The ID of the passerby who was randomly matched and entered was [Don't Eat Sugar], and the light ball looked ordinary.
"Hello, friend. Would you like to play with us? We all six know each other." Shang Jingyan was the first to speak in a friendly manner. He was afraid that the stranger friend would feel that he could not fit in, so he gave him room to choose.
Bu Chi Tang paused when he came in and faced the huge crowd. Zhang Nian said enthusiastically: "It's okay, you can think about it. We are not in a hurry here."
Seeing that Bu Chi Tang seemed to be staring at Shang Jingyan's ID, she chuckled, "Do you know our Director Shang? If you are her audience, you might be able to ask for her autograph after the game is over."
——They don’t know that the player with the ID name [Don’t Eat Sugar] is actually Hua Feitian.
After Hua Feitian only got second place in the entrance examination, she read all of Shang Jingyan's works and had to admit: this guy does have some talent.
In order to study Shang Jingyan's techniques, she even rarely replied to messages from her boyfriend Guan Gaoyang. Every time he asked her whether she was going out, Hua Feitian's reply was: Honey, I'm sorry, I'm busy with my work.
This was the first time in Hua Feitian's life that she felt such a strong competitive spirit and she obsessively regarded Shang Jingyan as her opponent.
Therefore, when she saw Shang Jingyan came up with such a game, she felt a little incredibly angry.
Could it be that this person wants to fall into depravity just after becoming famous?
So, she created a small account, bought the game and wanted to come in to see what Shang Jingyan was doing.
Hua Feitian was playing alone and could only choose random matching. Unexpectedly, she was matched with Shang Jingyan's team all of a sudden.
She looked at the line of [All the people in Jingyan] and fell silent.
It’s actually Shang Jingyan. Sister, don’t you wear a vest when playing games?
After reading the rules of the game, she was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that it was not a tourist simulator.
It seems... not that bad.
Humph, let’s take another look.
"Because two of us are the creators and are very familiar with the map, so for the sake of fairness, we can all see the entire map in advance."
Hua Feitian memorized the map in three minutes and silently selected [Start Game]. Zhang Nian whispered to Shang Jingyan, "He looks like a cool player."
The white light faded away, and everyone seemed to have traveled back to the Middle Ages of the last star calendar. The furniture in the castle was broken over the years and covered with dust and cobwebs.
In this map setting, the human side is a group of uninvited guests who broke into the castle and awakened the sleeping baroness there.
The Baroness's power has sealed off the castle, and humans can only hide in limited places and wait for the Baroness to fall into a deep sleep again after a certain period of time. Only in this way can they survive, otherwise they will become the dead souls under the skirt of the Baroness.
Shang Jingyan's initial teleportation point was under the castle. A black coffin with a silver-white cross engraved on it was opened, and she stood beside it.
She flipped open the card - it was Gui Fang.
Shang Jingyan said leisurely: "Oh, my wish has come true."
On the other side, Hua Feitian frowned as she watched her outfit change into that of a retro shepherdess - she had drawn the human side.
Hua Feitian wanted to draw the ghost side, what's the point of being a human? There was no challenge, she didn't think she would be caught.
With her was Zhang Nian, who lowered his voice and exclaimed, "How realistic!"
Hua Feitian was also observing the surrounding environment. She was in the bedroom on the second floor of the castle. The gorgeous bed was now in tatters, the curtains had several holes, the sheets were dirty, the quilt was bulging, and there were stains of unknown dark liquid on it; the dressing mirror by the window reflected her default female face at the moment.
The details are well done, taking into account the senses of sight, hearing, smell and touch... Hua Feitian was critical in her heart.
Zhang Nian scratched his head, climbed over the window and hid outside the balcony. His thoughts were indeed very unique.
Hua Feitian approached the bed and saw that the bulge under the quilt was a half-mummy, half-skeleton male corpse, wearing aristocratic men's clothing, with a dagger stuck in his neck. No one knew what story had happened there.
"Are you all hidden? For your own good, I've decided to give you three more minutes..."
Shang Jingyan's voice came from outside the corridor, and Hua Feitian realized that she was so engrossed in watching that she didn't even bother to hide.
Shang Jingyan actually asked for three more minutes, so arrogant!
Hua Feitian took a look around and did something surprisingly bold: she lifted the quilt and hid next to the corpse.
It's just a game, so what does it matter?
The ghost lady in "The Rose Castle" wears Gothic aristocratic clothing, a gorgeous hat, and a hanging gauze covering half of her face. Her weapon is a folding fan, and each fan bone is a sharp silver knife.
On the stairs, Shang Jingyan walked leisurely, fanning herself with a folding fan: "Children, are you hiding? The Lady is here to find you~"
Her voice echoed in the castle, feeling extremely oppressive.
X71: [……]
Yanyan, you are really the best at scaring people!
Each ghost has its own unique way of using their weapons. For example, the aquarium ghost's harpoon can be thrown, and her folding fan has two forms: opened and closed. When opened, it can fan out wind blades to attack humans.
Shang Jingyan spoke, originally with the intention of tricking a player into moving and making some noise, but her novice friends were very patient.
She opened the bedroom door and checked the closet, bookcase, behind the curtains and other places where people were most likely to hide, but found nothing, so she turned her attention to the bed.
Is it a few inches higher there?
Shang Jingyan pulled back the quilt, and Hua Feitian was prepared. She jumped out and ran out of the door!
Hua Feitian had an excellent spatial memory and the entire map was in her mind. She ran along the aisle and remembered that there was a fork in the road ahead, but she was surprised when she arrived there.
The rubble and soil there collapsed, making it impossible to pass through. Shang Jingyan had made some arrangements in advance!
No wonder she gave three more minutes, actually so she could bury the nails herself, right?
Damn, this cunning woman!
Humans are not completely without life-saving skills. They can choose to transform into objects and hide in the map, but their true form will be revealed once they are hit by ghosts.
Seeing that Shang Jingyan was about to catch up, Hua Feitian thought quickly and used her skill to turn into an object.
So, when Shang Jingyan turned the corner, he saw a small cake placed neatly on the ground at the end of the corridor.
Shang Jingyan: “?”
She said, "Which kid is so stupid that a small cake suddenly appears on the way, is it a lie?"
Little Cake Hua Feitian: "..."
Shang Jingyan knocked Hua Feitian down with his folding fan, and she turned back into a human on the spot and was lifted up by the waist.
Hua Feitian struggled: "Let me go, I'll tell you where the others are!"
Shang Jingyan: "Bargaining with a ghost is indeed a foolish thing to do."
Hua Feitian was furious: "...Don't call me stupid!"
Shang Jingyan: "Well, you're not stupid, I'm just too smart."
Hua Feitian: “…”
Ahhhh!
She didn't expect that she was the first one to be caught. Thinking back to when she thought life was easy before, she couldn't help but feel a dull pain on her face. She pursed her lips and looked as angry as a puffer fish.
The ghost cage in "The Rose Castle" is a coffin. Hua Feitian is tied up and lies flat inside it, thinking sadly: I'd rather die!
She lay there for a while dressed as a corpse, and then she heard some noise outside: someone was opening her coffin.
The coffin lid slid open a little, allowing her to see the situation - it was Zhang Nian who came to save her.
Hua Feitian remained silent for a few minutes, then suddenly began to move, her eyes anxious and she gestured, but she was silenced and could not say a word, so she could only worry.
"Hush!" Zhang Nian said in a low voice, like a thief, "Don't worry, I'll get you out right away! Someone has gone to attract Director Shang, we are safe here..."
Hua Feitian: “…”
She was helpless and raised her chin to point behind Zhang Nian.
Zhang Nian: “?”
She turned her head and saw the pale face of the Baroness with bloodshot eyes facing her. She screamed uncontrollably, "Fuck, why are you back?!"
"It's easier for me to trap you than to wait for you to come to me."
Shang Jingyan was quick-witted and quick-handed. He hit Zhang Nian with a fan and knocked her down.
And there was another person hanging in her arms, it was Yun Yongxue. The latter looked up like a salted fish, and looked at Zhang Nian in silence: "..."
Bang, bang, two coffins were placed side by side, Shang Jingyan simply waited here. The huge castle was in chaos, with ghosts crying and wolves howling from time to time.
Since Hua Feitian's coffin was on the outermost side, she was the first to be rescued every time. After repeating this twice, her chances were exhausted and she gloriously became the first human in this theory to become a ghost.
Hua Feitian...Hua Feitian no longer wants to talk.
When the game was over, as expected, Shang Jingyan was the winner, and the other six people were all caught by her.
"I'm sorry, sister. I'm the first one to send you away. How about I send you an autograph? Give me your address." Shang Jingyan said, "Let's add each other as friends. We can play together next time."
Hua Feitian uttered three words: "No need to send it."
She decisively chose to add a friend - wait, this account will definitely beat Shang Jingyan to the ground next time! !
On Starnet, "Come and Catch Me If You Can" has already aroused public opinion from all sides, and black fans have become arrogant again.
Including the lead time, one round of this game takes at least 40 minutes. The haters were scared after being slapped in the face a few days ago, so they didn't dare to make any ridicule at the beginning this time and were very quiet for a while.
However, they would only be quiet for half a day at most - in their minds, half a day would at least allow them to determine whether it was a tourist photo simulator, right?
During this period, the comments that came out were vague and unclear:
[This game is fun! ! It's a game of hide-and-seek. ]
[It sounds simple, right? But once you play it, you will know that it is not a tourist photo simulator! ]
[I think it's OK, the map is beautifully made and the music atmosphere is also very touching. ]
If you ask them further, they will say: "It's just hide-and-seek! It's just hide-and-seek where you pretend to be a ghost and catch humans. I won't say more. I'm going to pretend to be a ghost!"
How can this be fun? Those who recommend it to others are all scammers!
Most of the screenshots that have been circulated only show one map, which is very similar to the scene in "Mobius Ocean".
In fact, there are also live broadcasts by anchors, some of whom are very famous, such as Lu Zibing from the Gamma Galaxy, but the black fans vowed not to contribute any popularity to Shang Jingyan and refused to watch it.
[You're already so proud of yourself after just cooperating with me. You look so eager to make money. Tsk tsk. ]
[Could it be that the scenes are directly used from previous movies? Don’t be so ugly. ]
[If a new artist doesn't take care of his reputation during his rising career, what will he do when he becomes famous? 】
[Shang Jingyan, you are now relying on the support of your fans, but you are actually overdrawing your own credit! ]
[Even the tourist photo simulator is more expensive than usual...]
[And it also led Yun Yongxue astray! 】
The fans were angry and refuted, but the haters felt that they had grasped the truth. But after a while, the haters felt that something was wrong.
Why are there more and more voices of support?
Moreover, when you click on the homepage, you will find that none of the accounts are from pirates, and there are even many passers-by players.
[It's a very exciting game, but even a very timid person like me dares to play it! And it's very easy to get started. I won't say much, five-star praise. ]
[It’s just the price of an afternoon tea, and I can have fun in the future, hahaha, it’s totally worth it! ]
[Very suitable for gathering with friends, the whole afternoon passed by unknowingly. I feel that this game can also exercise mental strength. ]
"Being able to exercise mental strength" is a high evaluation of a holographic game, which means that it requires certain operations and efforts to play.
But why do you say it's easy to use? This is obviously contradictory!
In the evening, Lu Zibing made an Amway video that answered everyone's questions.
“…I unlocked all the way to the Ghost Bride Town map before I reluctantly stopped. This game is simple, but too addictive! If I didn’t have to make a video, I’m afraid I would have to play until the anti-addiction period expired.”
In the video, Lu Zibing draws the ghost bride of the map, wearing a bright red wedding dress and a veil, with her facial features vaguely visible under the red silk cloth.
The weapon of the ghost bride is her own long nails, which come with a special effect called "marking". Even if the player who is scratched runs away, a peach blossom-shaped mark will follow him in the ghost's field of vision.
Lu Zibing invited all his live broadcast fans, and he was "proud and happy once he gained power." He changed his previous timid appearance in "Teaching Building No. 18" and made his fans chase him and scream.
[Hahaha, I am dying of laughter. Lu Zibing: You used to laugh at me, now it is my turn to scare you!]
[It turns out that the most suitable horror method for anchors is to turn into a ghost (dog head). 】
[This town is so scary, it seems like it would be a good fit for a haunted house.]
The town map is larger than the aquarium map, and the scene is retro and exquisite, with bluestone floor tiles, mottled white walls, and black tiles covered with moss and weeds. There are obvious signs of life in each household, and some stoves are even still burning, but the people seem to have disappeared in an instant.
In the setting, this town suffered revenge from the ghost bride. All the people disappeared overnight, leaving only the ghost bride's wronged spirit wandering around the town.
The ghost cage in this map is a large dark stone vat. In the picture, after Lu Zibing captures a human and puts him into the ghost cage, he returns and quietly hides in the place where the previous player was hiding.
He huddled in the firewood room of a residential building, looking "weak, pitiful and helpless", but when the player's teammates came to look for him, he suddenly jumped out from a pile of firewood, scaring the other team so much that they ran out and accidentally fell into the water.
[Anchor, you are really a genius. Normally, it is the players who hide, but you are the ghost hiding. ]
[Player: Are you a ghost? You are a dog! ]
[I shouldn't have believed the rumors... This looks like a lot of fun! I'm going to download it.]
[The scenes are all very story-telling, is Director Shang really not considering making a spin-off work? ]
【I want to watch the story of the ghost bride! 】
[I’m the player who got scared in the live broadcast. Damn it. I’m going to draw a ghost in the next round and chase the anchor and make him scream QAQ]
This video is the best promotional video. It has been all over the major gaming platforms of Exile Galaxy in one day. I am afraid it will soon become the most popular party game. The previous comments of the haters were brought out again to lash out.
[Why don't you learn from your mistakes? You were slapped in the face by the speed of light last time, and now you've forgotten it again.]
[Did anyone say that if Director Shang’s new game is fun, he would live stream it and eat up all his brains? Give me a live stream account so that the sisters can have fun. ]
[Hahaha, I advise you to be more careful next time. Director Shang’s slap in the face must be a masterpiece! ]
【Please act more. I love watching (dog head).】
The haters were so angry that their noses were crooked. Why didn't Shang Jingyan take the usual path?
If an ordinary dream builder encounters a similar situation that may be misunderstood, he will definitely release a trailer in advance, raise everyone's expectations, and then release it naturally.
As for Shang Jingyan, one thing is clear: such little games are totally unimportant to her, and she doesn't bother to defend herself in advance.
Blue River Moon.
After Shang Jingyan quit the game, he saw that there were more than a dozen missed calls on his computer. The callers were all You Yao. His fingers paused slightly.
"The eighteenth communication, you finally answered it! Pan, you are my special concern, but on the other hand, you..." You Yao's chatter was about to burst through the light brain, and he complained hundreds of words. Shang Jingyan tilted his head and said soothingly: "Okay, okay, I answered it, didn't I?"
She said in a soothing tone, "What's the emergency?"
"...Do you think I'm a puppy?" You Yao's mouth twitched, and he finally got down to business. "I'm here to inform you that there's an emergency meeting tonight, remember to attend."
Shang Jingyan raised his eyebrows. You Yao was about to talk nonsense again: "Did you release a new game? I haven't played it yet. Director Shang, can you take me to play it? I'll invite Wu Rui and the others..."
Shang Jingyan decisively cut off the call. You Yao: “…”
What an impatient woman!
That night.
This time Shang Jingyan learned his lesson and did not take a nap in his dinosaur pajamas. Instead, he changed his clothes and waited.
At eight o'clock, she was pulled into a spiritual space. When she opened her eyes, she saw the same empty space as last time, a long conference table, and glowing silhouettes sitting at the table.
Shang Jingyan's position was still the same as before, independent of the crowd. You Yao was in a daze, holding his chin and looking at her. Based on Shang Jingyan's understanding of him, he should have rolled his eyes.
"Pan."
“The big star is coming!”
"Pan, congratulations..."
During the last meeting, she was still unknown in reality, but now the name "Shang Jingyan" was not only resounding throughout the Exile Galaxy, but at least it was very popular.
She sits here, pretending or not, and it makes no difference.
Shang Jingyan: I feel like I have a kind of beauty of streaking.
The head of the group cleared his throat, interrupted everyone's greetings, and said, "Pan, tell me about your recent achievements."
Shang Jingyan was not afraid of the stage and focused on the haunted house. In her speech, her action pulled many people from the virtual world to the offline world, which is very meaningful for reference.
She herself didn't really believe this nonsense, but the leader didn't interrupt her and just listened thoughtfully.
After she finished speaking, a member said, "According to my observations around me, Pan's influence is gradually beginning to spread in the main galaxy."
Judging from his figure, he was a rather short man, wearing a suit and a top hat, looking very retro, and his speech seemed to be in a florid tone.
The others nodded in agreement.
Main galaxy...
Shang Jingyan caught a piece of information from it, that is, the members of the Zhenwu Group were widely distributed. In just a small branch meeting, there were at least two of them, her and You Yao, who were in the exile galaxy, and the short and fat man who was in the main galaxy.
The population of the universe is mainly distributed in three major galaxies, namely, α, β, and γ. α is the exile galaxy, β is the main galaxy with the capital star, and β and γ are usually collectively referred to as mainstream galaxies.
In addition, there are some scattered small galaxies.
Is the true entity of the True Object Group a large underground organization spanning the entire universe?
What followed was all meaningless nonsense. Shang Jingyan began to lose focus, but when the meeting was about to end, the leader said, "The time of this regular meeting was moved forward because there is an offline mission that needs to be completed recently. The mission location is in the Alpha Galaxy."
Shang Jingyan was slacking off when he was suddenly called out, "Pan, stay after the meeting. I'll explain the task to you."
