Chapter 172: Spirit Exploration Live Room
[Friend, do you want to take the bus? 10,000 points for a round trip. ]
After sending this message, Xu Zhiyan did not wait for a reply in a hurry. He slowly opened the system panel, eager to receive the reward.
[Task 3: Complete a live broadcast of ghost hunting]
[Progress: 100%]
[Reward: Correct rules (can be collected)]
[Do players want to receive the rules in the current scene? ]
It seems that the mission is considered completed after leaving the underground parking lot.
Don't click to receive it rashly.
Xu Zhiyan looked at the prompt below and frowned slightly.
Receive it in the current scene? It seems that different correct rules will be obtained in different scenes.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Zhiyan pushed his electric scooter to the side of the road, but couldn't resist his curiosity and reached out to click on the rules.
Speculations are just speculations after all, and only practice can determine the specific content. Getting the rules sooner can help avoid risks sooner, and it seems that getting the city rules is not a bad idea too?
Thinking about it, the next second after clicking the receive button, a small note appeared in Xu Zhiyan's hand.
[It is detected that you are about to leave by car. Although our city is safe, in order to better protect your daily life, there are the following rules that you hope you can follow. 】
[1. No matter what kind of transportation you take, if you are on a vehicle after 10 pm, no matter what you hear, do not look back.]
【2. Not unlocked】
“…That’s it?”
Xu Zhiyan was stunned. He took the note in his hand and read it over and over again to confirm that there was only one message.
He raised his middle finger to the sky in hatred.
“Rubbish game.”
A live ghost hunting show lasts quite a long time, and he thought that there would at least be a complete set of regional rules.
However, this rule is still relatively useful in comparison.
After closing the panel, Xu Zhiyan opened the live broadcast software. The message had not been replied yet and it was displayed as unread. It was probably because the player had not seen it yet.
Switch back to your own live broadcast room. After the Tanling live broadcast ended, this live broadcast room was automatically closed.
[Popularity value: 1192]
[The popularity value has exceeded 1,000. Congratulations, host. You will be recommended for the frequency division (supernatural) on the live page in the next live broadcast! ]
[Gift value: 452]
It is now past two in the morning. The entire ghost-hunting live broadcast lasted four hours, and the popularity value was only over a thousand.
Xu Zhiyan looked at the frequency recommendation positions below and felt a little dissatisfied, but considering that most of the remaining anchors had a popularity value of less than 500, he felt it was okay.
"It seems that the higher the difficulty of the place, the higher the popularity value will be."
For example, in Feng Yanyan's live broadcast room, although her camera has not moved for several hours, because the location of ghost hunting is the most dangerous mental hospital, its popularity has been very good. Now there are more than 400 views, ranking among the top in popularity among other ghost hunting anchors.
Xu Zhiyan frowned and scratched his hair, looking a little distressed.
Clearing a level means getting full rewards, but high difficulty means there's a chance you'll lose, which really makes it hard to decide.
However, considering the camera footage of other anchors, Xu Zhiyan is not worried that anyone will catch up with his popularity.
It seemed to be a reward for completing the ghost-hunting live broadcast. He found that although his live broadcast room was closed, his popularity was still rising. Although the increase was not large, it was enough to keep him at the forefront.
Sure enough, there seems to be new content under the popularity value setting on the game interface.
[Congratulations to the player who was the first to complete the live broadcast of soul hunting! ]
[Since the difficulty of the ghost exploration locations varies and the exploration time required varies, for the sake of fairness, the first three anchors who complete the ghost exploration will receive a natural increase in popularity! ]
Now, Xu Zhiyan had a new respect for the main system.
With this rule, if players want to win the Most Popular Player reward, they must weigh the pros and cons and be extremely careful in choosing subsequent ghost-hunting locations.
In the game live broadcast room, the audience also thought of this.
[Wow, this time it's actually so fair, quite interesting. ]
[This is so funny, it's obvious that they want players to give up the mid-range live broadcast location and choose the lowest or highest difficulty as much as possible, going to the extreme.]
[Yes, yes, the main system understands live broadcasting. ]
[It is equivalent to narrowing the choices in a different direction, and it may also cause players to collide at the same location. ]
[Oh, I see! Players can see each other's live broadcast rooms. In this way, if someone enters the live broadcast location at a later time like that unlucky guy, can they get information from other people's live broadcast rooms? ]
[Wake up, the content seen in the live broadcast room is different from what the players see. 】
[Come to think of it, that unlucky guy seems to have returned to Xiao Baiwan! ]
Xu Zhiyan had just pushed his new favorite electric car onto the road when he saw a pop-up window pop up in the lower right corner of his phone.
[Sit, sit, sit! I'm in front of a restaurant now. When will you come? ]
[Almost ten minutes, do you have the props to determine the general direction? Give me a rough direction.] Xu Zhiyan replied.
“Business is coming.”
He put on his helmet and felt much happier when he saw the message from the other party. However, considering that his car could only carry one person, Xu Zhiyan decided to send Xiao Toming home first.
No matter whether it is sliced or not, it has to be recycled after all!
"Sit here, I'll take you home first!"
He sat in his seat, tried to start the electric car, and pointed at the back seat without turning around.
Another pink helmet floated in the air, hesitated for a moment, and then floated towards the tram.
Two cold arms wrapped around Xu Zhiyan's waist.
But the strange thing is that the car did not gain any weight, and the little transparent one was just like the rest of 'them'.
The electric scooter is on the road.
The dark and eerie buildings on both sides of the road kept receding, and the summer night breeze blew by with a contrasting feeling.
Xu Zhiyan learned how to drive an electric bike in the Nightmare Community dungeon. He is not very skilled at it yet and rides the bike crookedly on the road.
My ears are filled with the rustling sound of the wind, but if you listen carefully, it sounds like someone is crying.
Thinking about the content of the rules, Xu Zhiyan ignored the strange voice.
Since he hasn't gotten a specific direction yet, he's not in a hurry to find the unlucky player.
"Just wait for me at home. I have to go out for something. I'll bring you some paper money when I get back. Is there anything else you want to eat? I can burn it for you."
He rode his bike slowly and leisurely, talking to Xiao Tou Ming.
As expected, there was no response.
Xu Zhiyan was just talking casually.
The strange noise in his ears became louder and louder, and he felt Xiao Tou Ming loosen one of his hands.
There seemed to be knocking and friction sounds behind me from time to time.
Xu Zhiyan didn't dare to look back. He frowned and listened to the increasingly loud noise for a while, then whispered to Xiao Tomono.
"Be careful not to fall. I can't see you. If you fall, you'll have to walk home by yourself."
After saying that, he concentrated on riding his bike.
If Xu Zhiyan dared to look back at this moment, he might be frightened by the scene behind him.
A twisted black shadow with a long neck was being pinched by the throat by an invisible hand and was constantly slapping on the asphalt road. It was dragged on the ground from time to time, almost rubbing off sparks.
The transparent hand shook the black shadow, and when it saw that the other party had lost its fighting ability, it let go.
But not long after, another dark shadow quietly climbed onto the wheel.
Just as the shadow reached out to the back seat of the tram, the invisible hand grabbed the shadow again...
In the live broadcast room, the audience who turned on the long-distance mode were laughing so hard that they were looking for their heads on the ground.
[I can’t take it anymore, these shadow monsters are so pitiful hahaha]
[Black Shadow: We were just following the rules. Who knew that the thing on the seat of this car was so unethical! ]
[Hahahahahahaha this is too tragic, anyone who hears it cries and anyone who sees it is sad haha]
[Amen, may there be no electric cars in heaven. ]
[I laughed so hard hahahaha mainly because Xiao Baiwan was still riding his bike there and I didn’t see him. ]
[It seems that these monsters who steal electric bikes probably don’t want to steal electric bikes anymore in this life. ]
[As long as Xiao Baiwan doesn't look back, he won't break the rules. But looking at the number, I'm afraid riding a bike in this instance is also stressful! ]
The abandoned cinema was not far from Xu Zhiyan’s rental house.
Soon he rode to the location, and happened to get the location information of the unlucky player.
Seeing that the unknown person was reluctant to return the helmet, Xu Zhiyan ignored him and planned to ride away on his bike.
But when he was about to leave, his hand was grabbed again.
"What's wrong?"
He asked.
There was no response. The dazed transparent creature in front of him just gently pulled his wrist, not wanting him to leave.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and Xiao Tou Ming took his hand and put it on the back seat of the electric car.
At this time, Xu Zhiyan didn't know that there would be a monster in the back seat of the car. Seeing the other party like this, he thought that the little transparent monster had not sat enough, so he generously said that he could continue to take a ride next time.
After comforting the unknown person, Xu Zhiyan got away.
The player who has not been able to find the ghost hunting location is called Yuan Chi. In the No. 13 live broadcast room, like Xu Zhiyan, he did not rashly use the opportunity to change the name of the live broadcast room.
In the dark night, the pink electric scooter headed towards the area where Yuan Chi was currently located.
It was obviously not a very far distance, but as he rode, he found that the bike was getting heavier and heavier.
The warm wind blew, and the electric car passed one street lamp after another.
Xu Zhiyan was riding the tram alone when he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
When a withered hand was placed on his shoulder and an unknown creature shouted his name, he vaguely understood why the little transparent had been trying to stop him when he left just now.
"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight..."
"elder brother…"
"Why don't you turn around and look..."
A soft and sticky sound rang in his ears. Xu Zhiyan did not turn his head, but continued driving with a gloomy face.
However, after driving for some distance, he was forced to stop the car.
...It was nothing, the main reason was that the thing on the back seat was quite heavy. After riding for a while, he felt that his electric scooter was going to be crushed.
The moment Xu Zhiyan left the car seat, the messy sounds disappeared.
Looking at the black handprints on the back seat of the car, Xu Zhiyan took out a tissue and wiped them. After making sure that he could make these things disappear by leaving the car without looking back, he set off again.
A few minutes later, he arrived at the location and saw from afar someone holding up a mobile phone and live streaming under a red hotel sign.
Yuan Chi felt like he was going crazy.
His live broadcast room has low traffic because he can’t think of an eye-catching name for the room, so his live broadcast room has even fewer viewers.
Who would have thought that the few remaining audience members would choose ghost hunting locations that were farther away than the last.
The farthest one is said to be out of this city!
In desperation, he could only pick the best from the worst and choose a relatively nearby ghost hunting location. It turned out that the ghost hunting location was not much better. He followed the instructions in the live broadcast room and walked for four hours but still couldn't find the way.
So when he saw the news about Xu Zhiyan, even though he knew that the other party was a notorious profiteer, Yuan Chi still felt like he was saved!
As soon as they met, Yuan Chi held Xu Zhiyan's hand and tears were about to fall.
"You are finally here!"
It's already two o'clock in the morning, and it's summer in the dungeon. It might be dawn at five o'clock. He has no moving props, and his feet are almost worn out.
"I'll turn off the sound in the live broadcast room and transfer the money first. Is that okay with you?"
Xu Zhiyan didn't expect Yuan Chi to be so considerate and pay first when they met. However, as a qualified businessman, he did not take the money rashly. Instead, he asked about the current situation first.
"Do you know where you are going? Give me the approximate coordinates of your destination."
Assuming it is around five o'clock in the morning, there are only three hours left until the deadline for the ghost-hunting live broadcast to end.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Chi suddenly lost his temper, pointed at the signboard, shook his head and said, "How should I know? The live broadcast room is full of big liars and people with poor directions. They say all kinds of things. I am confused here because of their orders."
Thinking of the timid yet fond-watching audience in the live broadcast room, Xu Zhiyan looked at Yuan Chi again with a bit of sympathy.
After all, the audience doesn’t know that the anchor is a player who needs to complete tasks, so they can tell whatever they want to see, and the locations given are also varied.
Given the tight timeline, the location was unclear.
Xu Zhiyan touched his chin and said to Yuan Chi, "It's already past two o'clock. If you rush to the ghost-hunting site and broadcast it live, you might be too late."
"Who said it wasn't!" Yuan Chi slapped his thigh, feeling anxious.
If the main quest is not completed, he will basically either die or be trapped in the dungeon. Although some dungeons now allow one to leave from a safe house, he still has to find a place first.
Seeing that Yuan Chi was also anxious, Xu Zhiyan smiled and proposed other cooperation plans.
"We are all players, and it breaks my heart to see you like this. I have another solution here, and you just need to spend a few more points."
For all the known rules of the abandoned cinema, plus pick-up and drop-off services, Xu Zhiyan offered 50,000 points.
"Anyway, according to the rules, there's nothing that says two players can't explore the same ghost hunting location. Maybe we can even do a joint live broadcast in the future!"
"There is a special scene in the place I recommended, but I have already triggered it, so I think there shouldn't be any problems. You don't need to pay much attention to it. Just watch a movie and then leave the specific place."
Xu Zhiyan briefly gave an overview of the abandoned cinema.
Yuan Chi pursed his lips and looked at the notoriously greedy player in front of him.
What to do! He was moved!
Just hiring a car costs 10,000 points, but now with all the rules in place, including pick-up and drop-off, it’s only 50,000… Damn, it’s so expensive!
But before agreeing, Yuan Chi thought of other problems.
"But the mission requires the audience to help choose the location. My audience has never suggested the cinema you mentioned."
"Don't worry about that. I'll take care of it."
Xu Zhiyan shook his phone and started operating immediately.
He entered Yuan Chi's live broadcast room. Because the host couldn't find the specific location, there were not many viewers left.
[Why is there no sound? It’s so annoying. It’s so troublesome to watch a ghost hunting live broadcast.]
[You must be tired. I even doubt if the host fell asleep.]
[To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen a host with such a bad sense of direction. I think the direction I pointed out was quite correct!]
[Please pull it a few times, you are almost pointing to the moon.]
Just as the few remaining viewers were arguing, a new barrage appeared.
[There is an abandoned movie theater nearby. I just saw another anchor live streaming there. It was very interesting. How about asking the anchor to change the location?]
[Is it too late to change places? We are already halfway there.]
[What do you mean by halfway? I think we're just standing still!]
[Which live broadcast room is this? Damn, I was just watching this stupid anchor walk!]
[The anchor of the Ghost Cinema has gone offline.]
Seeing that the audience was being led to talk about the topic, Xu Zhiyan skillfully began to set the pace.
[It’s already this late. I’m afraid it will be daybreak when the host arrives. Do you want to watch the ghost hunting in the daytime? That’s too boring… You’re not afraid to watch, so you gave the host the wrong directions, right?]
[Bullshit! We stayed up until after 2am to watch the ghost-hunting live broadcast. How could we be scared?]
[Nearby? Host, have you seen this?]
[Who the hell deliberately pointed me in the wrong direction? How funny! If I were scared, how could I watch the ghost hunting live broadcast~! ]
Soon, amid the noisy comments in the barrage, the coordinates of the abandoned cinema popped up on Yuan Chi’s panel.
Under the other party's grateful and painful gaze, Xu Zhiyan swiped away 50,000 points.
"Thank you for your patronage."
"When you get on the bus later, don't look back no matter who calls you. And don't turn on the live broadcast. I'll tell you the rules."
Yuan Chi's luck was not that bad, as he was not too far from an abandoned cinema.
Xu Zhiyan drove the two of them, stopping and starting, and they successfully arrived near the cinema in more than ten minutes. Along the way, Yuan Chi ignored the black monster that was rubbing against him from behind, and tried hard to record all the rules.
Watching Yuan Chi run into the abandoned cinema, Xu Zhiyan got on his bike and staggered back to the exit of the underground parking lot.
It is now half past two. He and Yuan Chi have agreed to meet at the exit at half past four. Because he is not sure about the exact time of sunrise, he can only wait for five more minutes at most - he has to leave time to go home.
It was the first time that Xu Zhiyan worked as a private car driver. He parked the car under a street light and sat on the side of the road. He suddenly found that this job was actually quite leisurely.
He yawned and called up the panel again. It seemed that painting in the parking lot would reduce his spirit value. Now he only had more than 50 spirit points left. He quickly found some candy to replenish his spirit.
Since he had nothing to do anyway and had just earned 50,000 points, Xu Zhiyan was in a good mood, so he just held his phone and started watching the live broadcast.
After much hesitation, he finally clicked into the live broadcast room with the strange name.
[I wish Xu Zhiyan great fortune. I wish Xu Zhiyan great fortune...]
In the center of the screen is the eloquent Yu Xiu who is controlled by the system. The comments are all praising him for being more eloquent than when he first started the live broadcast.
Xu Zhiyan could tell at a glance that the other party was already cracking the correct rules, and the scene was taken over by the system.
The only problem is that the entire picture often freezes. Every time it moves a certain distance, it will pause for a while, which is somewhat similar to Feng Yanyan's perspective, but it will quickly start moving again.
"I didn't expect this kid to be so powerful." Xu Zhiyan looked at Yu Xiu with some admiration.
Although the other party was the culprit who dragged him into the dungeon, now that things have come to this, there are suspected wild slices in this dungeon, so Xu Zhiyan didn't feel very bad, especially the name of the other party's room... Well, it can be seen that Yu Xiu really listened to what he said.
Touching the ring on the middle finger of his left hand, Xu Zhiyan looked at it for a while. After making sure that Yu Xiu was doing well, he jumped the live broadcast camera to Yuan Chi.
In his game live broadcast room, the audience also began to follow suit, jumping around to watch and messaging each other.
[Xiao Baiwan did a great job on this job, 50,000 points! ]
[It’s expensive! But I think it’s worth it. 】
[He even hired a car to pick me up and drop me off. He was really serious. I cried my heart out! ]
[Yuan Chi also spent his points to save his life. Xiao Baiwan even lent him fifty yuan, asking him to see if he could use it when buying a ticket. But what shocked me was that Xiao Baiwan didn't charge any interest! ]
[Small million! Conscience! Big yes!]
[Hasn't anyone noticed the relationship between Xiao Baiwan and Yu Xiu? When did these two get together? This is weird.]
[I don’t know, but I just went to Yu Xiu’s live broadcast room, and wow, what the audience in the live broadcast room saw was completely different! Bloody tut tut tut]
【? ? I'll go check it out】
Many viewers jumped into Yu Xiu's live broadcast room.
In the center of the screen, a young man covered in blood stood there, moving forward in another direction step by step with difficulty.
An extremely hard and bright light shield lit up around him, enveloping him completely.
Countless strange-looking creatures poked out from the dark corners, trying to attack Yu Xiu, but they were separated by the light shield and could not be touched.
But as more and more rules were ignored and more monsters rushed towards the shield, the originally bright and solid light shield began to gradually weaken, and then faint cracks even appeared.
However, the young man in the center of the cover did not panic.
He raised the dagger and stabbed it hard into his waist.
The next second, the boy staggered two steps and a large amount of blood flowed out of the wound, but the bleeding stopped after a while.
The light shield that had just cracked suddenly became extremely bright and became solid again.
It is Yu Xiu's passive skill.
Can only be triggered after taking damage.
The blood-covered boy walked unsteadily, ignoring all rules and attacks.
In Yu Xiu's live broadcast room, the audience exclaimed in amazement.
【What the hell! What the hell! 】
[Hiss——It hurts. This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of clearance method! ]
[In a way, this can be considered a violent way to clear a level, but it is more tiring.]
[Ah, speaking of which, why is Xiao Yuxiu not with his previous teammates? I remember he used to have fixed teammates. ]
[Hey, you call that guy a teammate? ]
[That teammate has been using Yu Xiu as a tool. Tsk, tsk, tsk, a bit disgusting.]
[Did he team up with Xu Zhiyan? What's going on...]
Not many people knew about the special auction items at the auction, so everyone was curious about the relationship between Yu Xiu and Xu Zhiyan.
[Although, I think it would be great if Yu Xiu could form a team with Xu Baiwan.]
[+1, to be honest, this is the first time I see Yu Xiu actively using a skill. Before, I only saw him being stabbed. Didn’t his teammate tie him up for a while? ]
[He didn't move at first, but after being stabbed by the monster, his shield lit up. Then he seemed to suddenly remember something, and he stood up and walked.]
[Hmm? Did you notice that Yu Xiu's mouth seemed to be moving? What was he saying? ]
In the dark space, every time Yu Xiu in the light shield took a step forward, he would mutter something indistinctly.
"I wish Xu Zhiyan great fortune..."
The skinny boy took every step unsteadily but firmly.
A few hours ago, after breaking the rules and being pierced through the body by the monster, Yu Xiu wanted to just lie down.
But as he stared at the faintly glowing light shield, he suddenly thought of someone.
That person has the brightest eyes in the world and a warm body temperature that cannot be ignored.
The young man, who had lost all his fighting spirit, felt that he should not die here.
He wanted to see those eyes again.
He wanted to see Xu Zhiyan again.
