81 Xiyue High School 2
◎The audience's reward is the most important!◎
The classmate behind him who was wearing a red school uniform had blood all over his face, a piece of transparent glass stuck in his head, and his two empty eyes were also full of bloodshot.
Too bloody! Xia Qing took a breath of cold air, and the national essence burst out, "Is this a student from Xiyue High School?"
Because she was not mentally prepared, Bai Tang was also frightened. She looked at the classmate with a pale face and even forgot to breathe.
"Damn it, did she come out on purpose to scare me?" Zeng Fan covered his eyes helplessly. He had been through many dungeons and seen many strange things. Originally, he was immune to strange faces, but when he saw this student, he couldn't hold back.
The visual impact was very good, and Zhou Jianyi and the others were also hurt.
Sang Mian thought, is it really that scary? Isn't it just weird? What a fuss.
Her eyes were focused on the female classmate behind her. It was a bit scary, but she felt nothing inside. She even wanted to take care of the body. After all, she had seen many bloody scenes in funeral homes, so what was in front of her was nothing.
She looked at the classmate she had spoken to earlier, and then pointed at the one covered in blood. "Does she know the standards for beauty pageants?"
The female classmate nodded: "She is a contestant."
Hard work pays off, and she found the standard answer directly! In order not to waste any resources, Sang Mian held the female classmate's hand and said gratefully: "Thank you, classmate, you are such a good person. Can you be a good person and vote for me in the beauty pageant?"
The female colleague was not used to the sudden closeness. She quickly shook off Sang Mian's hand and said, "You are crazy!" Then she turned and left.
Zeng Fan's eyes twitched as he watched Sang Mian perform: "Is President Sang too awesome?"
Xia Qing was not surprised and said, "It's okay, it's normal. Are you scared?"
"How is that possible!" Zeng Fan immediately retorted: "I am an old player after all. It is absolutely impossible for me to be afraid!"
Bai Tang came back to her senses from the visual shock just now. She said faintly: "Then go ask the weird contestants what the standard of beauty is."
"Ah!" Zeng Fan pointed at himself: "Me?"
Xia Qing was puzzled: "It's a simple question. Aren't you an old player? It must be very simple for you."
Zeng Fan took two steps back awkwardly and explained, "It's not that I don't want to go, it's mainly because I've been nervous talking to girls since I was a child."
The other players rolled their eyes at the same time.
At this time, Sang Mian, who was silent, was surprised to see the number of people in the live broadcast room break through the single digit, and the barrage was floating:
[Human players have become bolder! ]
[Is she really human? She looks familiar, I feel like I've seen her somewhere before.]
[Don't mention it, I also felt that she looked very familiar when someone mentioned it above, and I seemed to have seen her photo in the daily newspaper.]
[I remember! Is she the newcomer on the wealth list? She is the new CEO of Spark Entertainment, the director of the Third Weird Hospital, and recently acquired the Haunted Apartment.]
[Yes, yes, yes! She is actually a human player? I always thought she was a rising star in the Underworld! ]
[Oh my god! We found something incredible!]
The identity bonus made the number of people in the live broadcast room increase rapidly, and soon it exceeded one hundred viewers. Sang Mian was stunned. The scattered rewards made her excited and scared.
What excites her is that the strange ones are much more generous than the players, and she has seen several of them giving millions or tens of millions of ghost money. What worries her is that after becoming famous in the Underworld, will it affect her in the future dungeons? All the strange ones know that she is a human, and they will definitely target her when they see her in the Underworld.
Sang Mian was very confused. Could this thing block the face? But it was too late to block it now. She patted her forehead in annoyance. She should have bought a headgear and put it on earlier.
Bai Tang gave the strange contestant a friendly smile: "Hello, classmate. I think you are very beautiful. Can you tell me your ranking?"
The weird contestant glanced at Bai Tang with disdain: "Are you also a beauty pageant contestant?"
Bai Tang: “Yes.”
"I can tell from your appearance that your ranking is very low." The weird contestant smoothed her hair which was stuck together due to blood stains: "My ranking is 23rd. Don't be jealous of me. You will never be able to surpass my beauty."
"You?" Xia Qing put her hands on her hips: "Why?"
The strange contestant curled her lips and smiled: "Of course it's because I meet the standards of the beauty pageant."
Bai Tang covered Xia Qing's mouth again and thanked the weird contestant sincerely: "You are beautiful, thank you for telling me your ranking."
The strange contestant walked away with a proud step, and there was confidence in his back.
Bai Tang reluctantly let go of Xia Qing. She tapped Xia Qing's forehead gently and said, "If you don't control your mouth, something bad will happen sooner or later! What if that weirdo got irritated by you?"
Xia Qing said aggrievedly, "I will never talk nonsense again."
Bai Tang looked at everyone in silence for a while: "I should know what the standard of beauty is."
*
The medical team soon discovered the difference in rankings, and the four of them wandered around the campus after leaving the dormitory. The tallest and strongest man was named Liu Dong, who wore a pair of black-framed glasses, had thick lips, and a black mole on his chin.
He smiled innocently: "So Xiyue High School considers ugliness to be beautiful."
The man next to him was tall, with a very good body proportion. Even wearing the Xiyue High School uniform, he could not hide his graceful demeanor.
"Liu Dong, did you overlook something?"
There was another member of the team who seemed to have been stunted since childhood. His height was significantly different from the other three. His thick black hair weighed down his head. He pursed his lips and said nothing.
The tall man's name was He Suoqi. He carefully observed the strange contestants on campus. All the contestants had one notable feature: they all had bloody scars.
The doctor obviously also discovered the problem. He frowned and said, "Does the beauty pageant want us to hurt ourselves in order to win a place?"
He Suoqi pinched his finger joints and said, "It's normal for a weird game to have this setting. This isn't an ordinary game."
He curled his lips and stared at the thinnest man and said, "Li Xiaofeng, what do you think?"
Li Xiaofeng shuddered all over, then nodded frantically, "Yes, that's right."
"Since you think it's right, then you can try it first." He Suoqi took out a black butterfly knife from his pocket. He pinched the tip of the knife between his index finger and middle finger and handed the handle to Li Xiaofeng.
Li Xiaofeng's pupils instantly dilated, "Brother...do you really have to try?"
He Suoqi's delicate eyebrows moved slightly, and his tone was gentle: "Of course, we all have to be in the top 100 to survive. Do you want to hold us back?"
"That's not what I meant." Li Xiaofeng slowly took the handle of the knife with trembling hands. The fine beads of sweat on his forehead betrayed his inner nervousness.
Liu Dong pointed his chubby finger at Li Xiaofeng's face and said, "Hey, remember to operate on your face. Of course, the beauty pageant is all about the face."
The doctor watched coldly. Li Xiaofeng was originally a test subject he brought in for the game. They would ensure Li Xiaofeng's safety, and Li Xiaofeng would of course also have to contribute his own value. The five points of weird energy rewarded by the game would not be put into his pocket for nothing.
"Remember to turn on the live broadcast and see the audience's reaction." The doctor said casually.
With a groan, Li Xiaofeng subconsciously covered his face. His ranking rose from after 100 to 80th, and his painful expression during the live broadcast also pleased the audience in front of the screen.
Rewards poured into his live broadcast room like water, 100 yuan, 10,000 yuan, 10 million, 30 million ghost money! Li Xiaofeng's eyes were red, they guessed it right! You can get a ranking by hurting yourself, and the higher the ranking, the more tragic your face is! The audience likes to watch bloody scenes.
The enthusiasm of the audience was enough to make Li Xiaofeng ignore the pain on his face. He happily said to the three doctors, "By the way! You should also do something to yourself! The more wounds you have, the higher your ranking will be!"
He Suoqi's face didn't look good. The weird game was indeed perverted. The players were competing to see who could be more cruel to themselves. He had already imagined the miserable faces of all the players in a day.
The three of them looked at each other. The doctor took a deep breath, took out an exquisite small scalpel, closed his eyes, and made two fierce cuts on the face.
The scalpel was passed to Liu Dong, who chuckled, "It's my turn." Blood gushed out of his face, but Liu Dong seemed to be still not satisfied, so he picked up a few sharp stones from the ground and pressed them into the wound, "It's beautiful enough."
He Suoqi also stabbed himself twice quickly.
The four people were immediately ranked in the top 100. After the doctor carefully wiped the blood off the scalpel, he said to the three people, "Tell the other teams of the Eternal Night Cult the way to pass the level. A team should cooperate with each other."
*
Sang Mian and the other seven walked to an empty pavilion in the school. Bai Tang said seriously, "From our human perspective, the standard of beauty is horror. Whoever looks the scariest will have a higher ranking."
Xia Qing stared at Zhou Jianyi thoughtfully. She seemed to know why Zhou Jianyi ranked in the top 100. Look at the tattoos on his body and the row of studs on his ears. He even has two eyebrow studs on his eyebrows. He perfectly meets the standard of beauty.
She said with a bitter face: "Are we going to make our faces scarred?"
Sang Mian was also in a dilemma: "It's so hard to do it to myself. I'm afraid I can't do it."
Zhou Jianyi leaned back in his chair and said, "You guys are overthinking it. Why don't you just find some makeup and put on some scary, bloody makeup for yourself?"
Sang Mian's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea!"
After finding the standard of beauty, everyone relaxed. Sang Mian said, "Then let's quickly find some cosmetics and put on some makeup!"
"Wait, I always feel like we've overlooked something." Zhou Jiayi, who had been silent the whole time, said, "So is there any connection between the elimination match during the day and the cat and mouse game at night?"
Xia Qing thought seriously for two minutes: "If someone is not ranked in the top 100, will the cat give priority to selecting him?"
Zhou Jiayi: "It seems that this is the only rule related to the daytime elimination match, but the main body of the game is cat and mouse, and our ultimate goal is to eliminate the cat, so isn't the most important rule to get rewards from the audience to exchange for punishments?"
Zhou Jiayi's words awakened the dreamer and made everyone fall into silence for a long time.
"So the elimination rounds during the day are for audience tips?" Gao Shuo gave the answer with a little hesitation.
Xia Qing propped up her head in distress: "But how can I get tips from the audience?" She looked at her tips, a total of one hundred ghost money, not even enough to buy a hair.
Sang Mian's rewards exceeded 100 million ghost coins, but one million ghost coins were needed to get one punishment, and three punishments were needed to eliminate a cat. If this continued, not a single cat would be eliminated in three years.
Her face was grim. “The weird game set a huge trap for us, without even giving us any clues.”
"Have you ever watched live broadcasts on the software?" Bai Tang suddenly mentioned online live broadcasts: "How do those anchors get viewers to give gifts?"
Gao Shuo raised his hand and said: "I used to be a game anchor. The most important thing for an anchor is to guide the audience to give gifts. For example, if they give a plane, they can play games with me." He paused and said: "There are many ways to guide. I just mentioned one of them. Take PUBG as an example. The audience can give gifts to specify that the anchor use a certain gun to play the whole game, or can only use 100 bullets in a whole game."
Zeng Fan also thought of something, and he said: "There is also a beautiful anchor. If you give her a gift worth one dollar, she will say hello, brother. If you give her a gift worth one hundred dollars, she will dance. Many people in the live broadcast room give her gifts."
After listening to this, Sang Mian concluded: “The key to getting gifts is to create a picture that the audience wants to see.”
Bai Tang added: "The scenes must be exciting enough to make the audience happy. Only when they are happy will they want to spend money."
"You are a teachable kid." Gao Shuo gave a thumbs up: "With your awareness, you will definitely earn more than me as a broadcaster."
"Don't you even look at who it is?" Xia Qing's tail was raised with pride: "By the way, how much do you make a day doing live streaming?"
Gao Shuo's expression suddenly changed: "Don't ask about things you shouldn't hear."
"Hahahaha! I guess it won't be more than twenty yuan!" Xia Qing laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. Gao Shuo's reaction was really too funny.
After understanding the psychology of the audience, the seven people began to think of ways to take money out of the audience's pockets. Normal makeup would not have a live broadcast effect to squeeze into the top 100, so they must create some explosive scenes.
Sang Mian said excitedly: "I have an idea, how about we transform all the weird contestants into normal beauties?"
"Okay!" Bai Tang agreed: "Not only will their ranking drop, but we will also get the live broadcast effect we want."
Xia Qing cheered: "Sister Sang is simply a genius! Our live broadcast room will definitely be full if she attacks the contestants!"
Sang Mian was full of confidence: "Yes! Let's do it! Let's go find the weird contestant now!"
Zhou Jianyi and the other three felt a chill down their spines when they saw the evil smiles of Sang Mian and the other two, and even felt a little sympathy for the weird contestants.
Zeng Fan whispered to Gao Shuo, "I suspect that President Sang is weird. Who can think of such a method?"
"It's even weirder than weird!" Gao Shuo shrank his head, "He doesn't look like a good person."
Zhou Jiayi was also shocked by Sang Mian's idea. His usual calm mouth twitched: "It is indeed exciting to change the weird contestants, but will they obey you? The weird ones are not easy to deal with. I am afraid your lives are in danger."
Sang Mian said innocently: "It's OK, they are quite kind, they will definitely agree if we discuss it carefully."
Zhou Jiayi: "Are you really not considering it?"
"What is there to consider?" Xia Qing waved her hand and said, "Sister Sang is so powerful. I wonder which weirdo dares to fight us!"
"Then it's a happy decision!" Sang Mian slammed the table and said, "Let's split up into two groups. There are so many weird contestants, and it will be too slow if we act together!"
Gao Shuo said weakly: "But we don't even have any cosmetics."
"Good question." Sang Mian opened the panel and clicked on the general mall. She remembered that there were a lot of goods in the mall, and you could buy them as long as you had money. She searched through it and saw the icon of cosmetics.
A set of cosmetics costs 500 million ghost coins. Sang Mian generously bought seven sets and distributed them to his friends. "The problem is solved. Let's go find the weird contestant!"
Xia Qing rubbed her hands impatiently: "Hey, it just so happens that my makeup skills are not good, so I can practice today."
Sang Mian opened the live broadcast with a perfect smile, and said excitedly: "Good morning, everyone! Life is boring, do you want to see me transform the contestants?!"
Her live broadcast room had the advantage of numbers, and soon a row of comments that people wanted to see appeared on the live screen.
Sang Mian: "Family members who want to see it can put Xiaoyi on the screen!"
The barrage of comments all floated up.
Sang Mian called out loudly: "In order to encourage the anchor, can you give 10,000 ghost money to increase the anchor's passion? 10,000 can't buy you a loss or a scam, but it can buy you a day of happiness!"
Xia Qing and Bai Tang also immediately started shouting in their own live broadcast rooms. Xia Qing couldn't stop smiling as he watched the number of people keep rising: "It's really useful! Someone has come to my live broadcast room!"
Sang Mian looked around. The pavilion faced the stadium of Xiyue High School. Next to the stadium was the cafeteria. The tall building behind the cafeteria was the teaching building of Xiyue High School.
Where should she look for the weird contestant first?
As she was struggling, a barrage of comments floated up.
【Go to the stadium! There are contestants there. 】
Sang Mian's eyes lit up: "Xiaoqing, Tangtang, let's go to the stadium now!"
The three girls, each carrying a makeup bag, ran towards the stadium, panting. The four remaining men in the pavilion looked at each other in bewilderment.
Zeng Fan said tentatively: "How about we first see how they communicate with the weird contestants?"
The other three agreed.
In the stadium, a beautiful figure particularly attracted the attention. The handsome guy was wearing a white T-shirt and black shorts, with a flamboyant look.
The handsome guy lifted his hair charmingly, revealing two bleeding eyes, and smiled in a low-key manner with his mouth stretched to the back of his ears.
He glanced at the little fans around him, and then did a handsome dunk.
The moment they landed, screams were heard everywhere.
The handsome guy took the towel and wiped it casually, thinking that this would charm these girls. There was nothing he could do, being handsome was something you are born with. As a handsome guy who attracted everyone's attention wherever he went, he was also very distressed.
"Brother~ We all vote for you! The champion of the beauty pageant will definitely be yours!"
His little fangirl kept yelling at the top of her lungs.
"Brother, I love you!"
"Brother, you are the best!"
Yes, he is the favorite to win this beauty pageant. His handsome looks make him feel stress-free in this competition. He doesn't even need to dress up too much to win the title easily.
Sang Mian and the other two covered their ears and looked at the group of people, "What are they doing? There are so many weird things going on there."
"It's so noisy!" Xia Qing couldn't stand it anymore: "It seems there's a handsome guy. Look at these girls, they are so obsessed with him."
Bai Tang's curiosity was piqued: "How handsome would that be?"
"I advise you not to have any illusions. Xiyue High School has a unique aesthetic. Have you forgotten the contestant who just ranked 23rd?" Sang Mian reminded with a complicated expression.
Bai Tang immediately put away his expectant gaze and shook his head: "Forget it...I guess it will be extremely ugly."
Sang Mian looked at the live broadcast, and the comments on the live broadcast were urging her to go over.
The three of them tried hard to get into the weird crowd, but there were so many girls that they squeezed for a long time before they got to the front row. During the process, people kept pushing them, and their cold bodies forced out a thin layer of sweat.
When seeing the handsome guy's true face, Bai Tang closed her eyes in despair. Good fellow, even if she held a glimmer of hope, she would be crushed by the blow.
Xia Qing wiped his sweat: "How can we act with so many girls?"
Sang Mian pondered for two seconds and then showed a lewd smile. As soon as Xia Qing saw the familiar expression on Sister Sang's face, he knew there was a way.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Suddenly, a fair-skinned girl in school uniform rushed out from the crowd, yelled, ran up to the handsome guy and slapped him.
Fangirls: “?”
handsome guy:"?"
What's going on?
"You damn scumbag!" Sang Mian's expression was filled with grief and indignation. She pointed at the handsome guy with a shaking hand, her voice trembling: "Why did you cheat on me?"
The fans were stunned, but a few of them reacted quickly: "Brother, what is she talking about? Does brother have a girlfriend?"
The handsome guy covered his beaten left cheek and said in confusion: "Girlfriend...? Me?"
Sang Mian hit the handsome guy on the right cheek with lightning speed.
"...?" The handsome guy covered his face with both hands: "Do I know you? Why did you hit me?"
Sang Mian was crying as she spoke: "Okay, are you pretending not to know me now? Before, you asked me to hide our relationship because you said it would affect you, and I agreed. You also asked me to give you money to spend, and I agreed. But what about you? You actually used my money to support another woman?"
Sang Mian used both hands to pound the handsome guy's chest muscles, which felt great in his hands: "Is this how you treat me?"
The fans were stunned when they saw Sang Mian’s tearful face!
Many fans: “???” Their brother is actually a scumbag who spends women’s money and cheats on them?
"Brother, please explain! I believe you!"
Several fangirls were furious. They couldn't believe that the brother they had liked for so long was actually a scumbag.
"Yes, brother, explain quickly! Is she slandering you?"
"If you can't get it, you're going to destroy it? Is this woman crazy? I believe in my brother!"
"Are you crazy? You don't have to go to this extent to like me! You're only making me more disgusted now." The handsome guy said gently to his fangirl with a red and swollen face, "Don't believe her, she's talking nonsense, I don't have a girlfriend."
At this time, most of the fans were silent. They didn’t know whether they should believe their brother. A small number of fans wanted to rush up and kill Sang Mian, and the look in their eyes when they looked at Sang Mian was as if they were poisoned.
Sang Mian wiped away her tears and said firmly, "You don't want to believe it, right? I have evidence!" She pointed at Bai Tang and Xia Qing in the group of fans and shouted, "They are the ones my brother cheated with!"
The handsome guy looked at Bai Tang and Xia Qing in confusion. They were two unfamiliar faces that he had never seen before.
The little fans all looked at Bai Tang and Xia Qing, with confusion in their eyes that could not be expressed in words.
Bai Tang instantly got into the role. She immediately fell to the ground weakly, sobbing: "I didn't expect you to lie to me. Why did you mess with me when you have a girlfriend? Is it fun to cheat on my feelings?"
The little fans present gasped. Not only was their brother secretly dating, he was also cheating on his girlfriend and deceiving innocent female classmates?
The handsome guy's lips trembled. Damn it! He can't even wash himself clean by jumping into the Yellow River!
He pointed at Bai Tang: "You...speak properly, when did I ever lie to you about my feelings?"
Bai Tang lowered her eyelashes pitifully: "Now you are pretending not to know me? It turns out that I have no place in your heart... You might as well just die..."
The fans' eyes immediately turned into contempt when they looked at the handsome guy. How could they be so blind to fall in love with this guy?
Before anyone could protest, another figure suddenly appeared.
"Sister! My sister! Don't die!" Xia Qing threw herself on Bai Tang and cried loudly: "I didn't mean to steal your boyfriend! I didn't know you were having an affair with my brother! I thought he was single, and he seduced me first!"
Everyone was confused...sisters?! And the same person? And this person was their brother?
Sang Mian's mind went dark after hearing what Xia Qing said. Even sisters were made up? Wow! Xiao Qing's performance was extraordinary, and she was definitely the MVP.
The fans were so stunned that they forgot to retract their tongues with their tongues hanging in the air.
"That's not right. Brother would like these three ugly girls?"
No one knew who said this, but all the fans looked at Sang Mian and the other two warily.
"That's right! Brother, your taste is not that bad, right?"
The handsome guy seemed to have found a life-saving straw. He was so excited that tears streamed down his face. "Yes! I have very high standards. I definitely don't like these three women. They love me but cannot get me. They want to ruin my reputation!"
Sang Mian thought that she had found evidence against him, what should she do next?
"You want to slander your brother, right? Sisters, help me get her!" The handsome guy's fangirl leader waved his hand and snorted coldly: "Today I will let you three know the price of slandering your brother!"
The situation changed, and Sang Mian and the other two were surrounded by fans.
Xia Qing said in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "If it doesn't work, I'll use my identity skill. I haven't used it on the mentally ill patient I drew last time."
"I'll use it later. I'll think about it."
Is the plan really going to fail? Sang Mian pursed her lips. Is there no way out?
Suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said firmly: "As for why he likes me, I can only say that different people have different tastes, but I didn't slander him. There is no need to do so with my strange identity."
"What is your identity?"
"President of Spark Entertainment." Sang Mian looked down at the audience: "Does my status necessitate slandering him? He is nothing but a gold-diggers."
The fans were scratching their heads: “Is Spark Entertainment that famous entertainment company?”
"It seems so."
"Have you any proof?"
Sang Mian said speechlessly: "Do I need proof? If you just check, you will know whether I am lying or not."
Perhaps it was because her tone was too confident that the little fans present were all stunned, and some of them actually opened their phones to look up the information of the president of Spark Entertainment.
"It's true, she didn't lie."
"The president of Spark Entertainment looks exactly like her."
"You scumbag! I've liked you for over a year for nothing!"
"Bah! I should go to the hospital for my eyes."
I don’t know who said it first in the crowd, but all the fangirls started scolding the handsome guy. The handsome guy tried to explain but couldn’t even get a word in.
Until the crowd dispersed, leaving behind the lonely handsome guy and the three girls beside him.
The handsome guy bit his back teeth and was about to explode with anger: "Who are you! Why are you slandering me!" Before he could finish his words, a mineral water bottle hit him on the head, and the crisp sound was accompanied by the word "scumbag".
After Sang Mian and the other two exchanged glances, Bai Tang and Xia Qing quickly got up from the ground, brushed off the dust on their bodies, and then stared at the handsome guy with expressionless faces.
Bai Tang raised his eyebrows slightly: "I heard that you participated in a beauty pageant?"
"What does it have to do with you? Even if you are the president of Spark Entertainment, so what?" The handsome guy was stunned by the speed at which the three people changed their expressions. His inner anger became even stronger. He said with a dark face, "Don't even think about staying in Xiyue High School! I will make you pay with blood and ruin your reputation in Xiyue High School!"
"Yo yo yo!" Xia Qing said in a particularly shameless tone: "Then you try it."
