Chapter 179: Spirit Exploration Live Room
In the dim room, the TV screen was still playing "Ghost Marriage", but the content flickered twice and turned into a snowy screen.
Xu Zhiyan sat blankly on the sofa. He hadn't known when his short-sleeved shirt and shorts had turned into a bright red wedding dress. He held a black videotape in his hand and kept sorting out the memories that were pouring in.
The scene just now was still replaying in his mind.
The invisible hand grabbed the film that stretched out from the NPC's brain, and after a violent tug, it tore the videotape world apart...
There is also a long list of warnings in the game panel.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyan ignored his confused memory and quickly took out the summoning item. After making sure that Xiaocui Gu was already inside, he clicked on his side quest.
I don’t know if the unlucky guy who originally got the identity of the male lead has shown up yet!
【Branch Line - Death Tape】
【Note: ...You decide to go in and save her. 】
[Progress: Detected that the rescued target has left the videotape]
[Reward: Monster Videotape (Can be collected [crossed out])]
After seeing the progress information, Xu Zhiyan heaved a sigh of relief at first, but when he saw the reward column, he felt unwell.
Because of this branch quest, Xiao Tomoyu is now nowhere to be seen.
Considering that the ghost-hunting live broadcast was still on, he reached out to turn off the sound of the live broadcast room, and first waved his hands around to feel around.
"Little transparent? Are you there?"
There was no answer, nothing was touched, and even the temperature in the living room did not change.
Looking down at the videotape in his hand, Xu Zhiyan frowned.
This video seemed to be a prop. When I opened the game panel in the same way as I would view props, all I saw were question marks.
【name:? ? 】
【Level: ? ? 】
【Introduction:? ……】
Look at the catalog, it should be the props section.
But I don't know why, not a single number is displayed.
Xu Zhiyan thought of the unknown person who did not appear in the living room, and had a bad guess in his mind.
Shaking the videotape next to his ear, he asked in an uncertain voice: "Little transparent? Are you in there?"
There was a long silence again.
Just when Xu Zhiyan was about to give up, the videotape started playing.
"exist."
A low, familiar voice came from the tape.
Xu Zhiyan didn't know what to ask first.
Should you ask the other person if he can come out, or why he can suddenly speak?
"Are you okay? Can you come out?"
He hesitated, but finally decided to start with the safety of Xiao Mingtou.
There was another silence.
Xu Zhiyan, who was already familiar with the tapes and CDs, was very patient and did not rush.
It's only twelve o'clock now, and he has already completed a live broadcast. Although I don't know what his popularity ranking is, I think it won't be too low.
Sure enough, the tape started turning again.
The reason why Xiao Tomoyu refused to produce the tape is shocking.
"Can...speak."
The reason why Xiao Tomoyu didn't want to leave the tape was because he could speak in it? Hearing these three words, Xu Zhiyan's slightly nervous expression slowly cracked.
?say?
It seemed like he had been nervous for a long time, but it was all in vain!
Taking a deep breath, Xu Zhiyan felt a little amused and tried hard to calm himself down.
He discovered that although this Party A fragment had full power, it was indeed lacking in intelligence, and it looked as if it had lost a soul.
"Okay, then come out whenever you want."
Having just finished the content about ghost marriage, Xu Zhiyan planned to take a look at it for a while. If he could maintain the top popularity, he could have more rest tonight and wouldn’t need the role of Xiao Tomoyu for a while.
After making sure that Xiao Tou Ming was fine, he casually placed the videotape containing Xiao Tou Ming on the sofa and called up the system panel.
Taking a quick glance at Tan Ling's live broadcast room, the audience seemed to be frightened after the snow screen, especially when he turned off the sound, which made the audience feel a chill down their spine. Unexpectedly, the popularity of the live broadcast room soared a lot, and gifts were given like crazy.
After making sure it was okay to leave it hanging for a while, Xu Zhiyan lifted the hem of his wedding dress, crossed his legs and placed them on the table, adjusted himself into a comfortable position, and started a new round of negotiations with the system.
"Excuse me, why is the claim button crossed out even though I have completed the task?"
This doesn't make sense. Since there is a collect button, it means that he should have been able to collect the reward originally... Well, in fact, Xu Zhiyan knew in his heart that this button was crossed out, most likely because the little transparent person was lurking on the videotape that should have been recycled.
[After testing, you have occupied the death tape, so the system determines that you do not meet the requirements for receiving it. ]
Just as Xu Zhiyan predicted.
The main system determined that Xu Zhiyan could not receive the new reward on the grounds that the death tape could not be recovered.
Xu Zhiyan was not angry. Instead, he raised his hand and began to refute the arguments one by one, looking like a good student who was discussing things obediently.
"I think the main system's judgment is unreasonable."
As he spoke, he counted on his fingers and explained his reasons one by one.
"First and foremost, I am not in possession of the death tape. Am I the one in it now?"
Xu Zhiyan looked innocent, but the main system did not change its judgment.
[Although the creature inside is not you, based on what the other party has said before, there is no difference between it occupying the videotape and you occupying it.]
"Wait, Xiao Hong is Xiao Hong, and I am me. It is true that it is still obedient now, but who can guarantee that it will not betray us later?"
"With the power it has shown so far, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to completely control it. If I decide that it belongs to me just because we've been together for 24 hours, then do I have to have the power to control it by force?"
Xu Zhiyan refuted the main system's point of view in a clear and logical manner.
"If it attacks me, or doesn't want to listen to me, is there a way for me to control it? Does the main system have the ability to force it to listen to me?"
Seeing the videotape start to move, Xiao Tou Ming seemed to want to refute or answer, Xu Zhiyan quickly knocked on the videotape, signaling the other party to be quiet.
[Judging from the current situation, something like violating your last wishes will not happen. ]
The main system was not bypassed.
It firmly believes in its judgment that if the little transparent one comes out, the greedy player in front of it will definitely be able to pick up this item.
"So if I ask it to do something and it doesn't do it, does that prove that I can't control it?"
Xu Zhiyan actively fights for his own interests.
The system that serves as a customer service was not led by the nose and immediately found the BUG mentioned by the cunning players.
[Things like hurting yourself don't count.]
【It simply cannot deny you. 】
Xu Zhiyan nodded, and suddenly raised the videotape and asked, "If I ask you not to follow me from now on, leave this house immediately, and never step into this house again, can you do it?"
Definitely not possible.
The portrait of the dead Bai Jin is still here.
After a brief silence, a slightly aggrieved voice was heard from the videotape.
"I can't... do it."
The little transparent creature couldn't understand why this human wanted it to leave, but its instinct controlled it and it could not agree to this condition.
"Look! I'll tell you."
Xu Zhiyan smiled and reached out to touch the videotape, as if to comfort it.
"It's not completely under my control, so I think the death tape that has been taken over by the little transparent person should not be counted as my reward. The system must give me my original reward, otherwise other players will be very disappointed when they see it. I originally only wanted the monster tape."
【……】
The game panel showed six dots, and the system responsible for after-sales service did not seem to expect that the cunning player in front of him would bring up other people.
In the game live broadcast room, the audience once again had the opportunity to witness Xu Zhiyan taking advantage of the game system.
[Unscrupulous capitalists VS black-hearted businessmen]
[As expected of you, you are a millionaire! You can apply this way? 】
[But the main system is so tricky. Death tapes and monster tapes are not the same thing, right? ]
[I guess the main system didn't expect Xiao Baiwan to be so powerful, so it just blew up the videotape, hahahahaha. ]
[The series of headshots before was really cool. 】
[I am dying of laughter. I was just thinking that Xiao Baiwan said in the videotape "I will think of a way later" or something like that. He must be planning to play the second round.]
[I didn't expect that this little transparent person who was picked up halfway is quite powerful! ]
In the end, Xu Zhiyan won the verbal battle.
Because he and Xiao Tomoyu do not have any contractual relationship.
After entering the game, Xu Zhiyan hid the safe house very well, and the ghosts and gods were always standing in the dark.
So in the eyes of those who don’t know the truth, from the time they met last night until now, Xu Zhiyan and Xiao Tou Ming have been relying on inexplicable feelings to maintain their relationship.
The reward bar lit up again.
Xu Zhiyan could hardly wait to click the receive button, fearing that the main system would come to its senses and block his reward.
[Name: Monster Videotape]
[Level: A]
【Type: Storage】
[Introduction: A magical videotape that can store monsters for players to use (can only store monsters of level A or below). However, this videotape does not include taming, and players need to handle the relationship with monsters themselves.]
[Notes: You can only store one monster at a time. If you want to change the monster, you must take out the original monster. When you store a new monster, you must wait for 48 hours before changing it.]
[Special Tip: Forcibly storing high-level monsters will make the props fragile, so please do not store them violently. ]
[Spiritual Threshold Limit: 50]
As expected, it is an A-rank item that can store monsters.
Looking at the special prompts and thinking about the death tape that looked like a prop from the same series, Xu Zhiyan had no idea.
I'm afraid that the death tape filled with little transparent people is in a fragile state at the moment.
No wonder the game system wants to replace this reward. After storing such powerful slices of ghosts and gods, the death tape may explode at any minute.
But now that the reward has been obtained, Xu Zhiyan is too lazy to pursue it further.
It would be best if this death tape didn't explode, but if it did, it wouldn't be a loss for him.
After dealing with the rewards, Xu Zhiyan finally had some time to take a look at his ghost-hunting live broadcast room.
Take the phone and unmute it.
The first thing that catches your eye is the retention system message when the broadcast starts after ten o'clock.
【The anchor has started broadcasting! 】
【Level up information detected! 】
[Congratulations to the anchor for entering the recommended position for frequency division (supernatural) on the live broadcast page! ]
This was the reward for his popularity ranking in the last round. A good recommendation position would allow him to have more exposure.
Next is the current popularity value and gift value.
[Popularity value: 2210]
[Gift value: 909]
After the last live broadcast, the gift value was 452, which means that during the entire live broadcast, he received more than 400 gift values.
Inside the live broadcast room of the soul-searching show, Xu Zhiyan looked through the previous messages and roughly understood what the audience saw after he entered the videotape.
[Ouch, this poor image quality, I really need to thank you!]
[After all, it is an old movie from more than ten years ago.]
[Shit, is the host just planning to take us to watch a movie this time? No way!]
[I don’t think so. Isn’t this videotape weird? Will something different happen?]
During the period, it seemed that he interacted with the audience and said something under the arrangement of the game system.
The audience's mood eased a lot.
Because the height of the selfie stick is limited, in order to allow the audience to see all the contents of the video clearly, Xu Zhiyan placed the selfie stick in the middle of the table, and the audience could only see the contents on the screen through the camera.
After all, it is a live broadcast of ghost hunting.
After the game system took over, paranormal events soon began to occur.
[Fuck, fuck, the host is talking now, but I can hear other people gasping!!!]
[Don’t scare me or the anchor upstairs! !]
[Ahhhhh I heard it too! Help!!]
[What are you afraid of? I think the host must have found someone else to coordinate the effect, otherwise how could this happen?]
[I think so.]
However, within a few minutes, the audience discovered that there was a faint female voice speaking, and the tone of this voice happened to be the voice of the woman playing in the movie.
[What the hell! What the hell! Why is the host acting like nothing happened? Didn’t he hear anything…]
[It’s even more terrifying. I don’t dare to watch it anymore!]
[save……]
This group of inexperienced but fond-of-watching audiences chattered like a group of frightened sparrows.
However, thanks to the shock, the popularity of his live broadcast room has remained very stable. It seems that the game system really understands the live broadcast effect better than the players.
Finally, Xu Zhiyan turned to the real-time barrage.
[Ahhh, ever since the snow screen started, I haven’t heard the host speak again!]
[Wait, am I the only one who thinks it’s scary that the guests’ heads are split open? This is totally different from what I thought a ghost marriage would be!]
[This is simply a headshot elimination game!]
[Pfft - what a fucking match-3, but it's really scary and realistic!]
[It’s scary because it’s so realistic… Think about it, the graphics were so shabby and there were all kinds of rubbish props in the beginning, but how come it looks so real when the head explodes?]
[Wuwuwu, host, why don’t you say something? Why aren’t you talking?]
Looking at the audience who were so frightened that they almost dared not watch, Xu Zhiyan lowered his head and glanced at the red wedding dress he was wearing. He thought about it and walked to the TV step by step.
It was not until the videotape was taken out of the room like a zombie that he started and seemed to come back to his senses.
"what happened?"
Xu Zhiyan looked confused and saw a flashing snow screen behind him.
"Huh? Why am I wearing something like this?"
He glanced down, as if he had just realized something, and stood up with a puzzled murmur, walked to the door, and turned on the living room light.
“Pah—”
As the dazzling lights came on, the entire hall was out of its dullness.
Picking up the phone, Xu Zhiyan controlled his expression and pretended to be surprised.
"What's wrong with everyone? They all seem scared?"
He pointed at the clothes on his body, frowned again, and looked hesitant and a little scared.
"I can't remember what happened just now. I just remember watching the death tape with you guys, but in the blink of an eye, it's already twelve o'clock, and I'm wearing strange clothes. It's so weird..."
In the ghost-hunting live broadcast room, the audience who had just recovered a little were almost scared to death.
[Ahhhhhhhhhh!]
[It’s a wedding dress for a ghost marriage! I’m sure the host is wearing a wedding dress for a ghost marriage!]
[…Fuck! There’s something fucking wrong with this videotape!]
[Wow, I miss my mom. I won’t watch this anymore.]
Unlike the audience who were almost scared to tears and shouted that they didn’t want to watch the live broadcast.
After Xu Zhiyan appeared in a red wedding dress and pretended to be involved in a supernatural event, in just a few minutes, a lot of people flocked to his live broadcast room again.
[I heard that a host here really got it?]
[Someone from the forum said that the ghost-hunting live broadcast here is different from other broadcasts, and the ending is super scary.]
[I thought it was just a normal ghost search...]
[I can’t take it anymore, wuwuwuwu, I don’t dare to look at this anymore, it’s so scary!]
It turned out that someone posted a message on the forum after reading to the end, which attracted many people to come.
Xu Zhiyan pretended to be ignorant for a while.
But as more and more people came, he took off the strange wedding dress after a brief interaction.
He was actually wearing the same black short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts underneath his wedding gown. No wonder he felt so hot after sitting there for a while.
"Never mind about it for now. As long as the person is fine, it's fine. We still have to believe in science!"
After a brief summary, Xu Zhiyan ignored the screaming audience and quickly went to check other people's live broadcast rooms.
After the first ghost hunting game, his popularity began to rise automatically. If there were no particularly strong opponents, he could take a rest now.
There are currently 11 live broadcast rooms left.
Compared to yesterday, today's players are a lot smarter.
Since Xu Zhiyan can watch other people’s live broadcast rooms, other players can also watch his live broadcast room.
Some people have discovered that Xu Zhiyan uses his good looks to attract fans.
The other players also realized that they were doing a live broadcast and it would not work if they didn’t take good care of their appearance.
Xu Zhiyan first clicked on Feng Yanyan’s live broadcast room. After yesterday’s extremely dangerous ghost hunting, this comedic player also learned his lesson.
When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Because everyone can use the things in their rental house, like Xu Zhiyan, Feng Yanyan also found a lot of strange clothes.
At this moment, she is wearing a teddy bear plush suit and broadcasting live in an abandoned factory.
Xu Zhiyan didn't look at it for too long.
I don’t know if it’s because the clothes Feng Yanyan chose are too stupid, but her live broadcast room is not very popular, and now there are only about 600 people.
After exiting Live Room 05, Xu Zhiyan scanned the names of the live rooms and found a new one he had never seen before.
【Watch the live broadcast and win cash! What are you waiting for? 】
【Live Room No. 05】
【Number of viewers: 743】
Live broadcast room No. 05 was the third live broadcast yesterday. The host was a male player in his thirties named Chang Xingwei.
At this time, there are a lot of viewers in the live broadcast room. If everyone can watch for more than an hour, then his popularity value will be quite terrifying, more than all other players combined.
Xu Zhiyan frowned.
This title, plus the number of viewers.
It has absolutely nothing to do with soul searching!
He didn't think that any player could collect a lot of money in just a few days to give it to other viewers.
As soon as you click in, you can hear Chang Xingwei roaring on the dark roadside.
"New viewers, don't leave! As long as you watch long enough, you can get a thousand yuan in half a month!"
"Watch three hours a day! You can earn a thousand!"
He completely gave up on ghost hunting and used an alternative method to attract the audience.
"What are you waiting for? Why don't you call your relatives and friends to come together? If you hang up the phone for three hours every day for fifteen days, you can earn a thousand yuan, which is more profitable than working part-time!"
Chang Xingwei, who found a new method, vigorously promoted the selling points of his live broadcast room.
"If you watch for six hours after 10 o'clock every day, you can get double the reward! The anchor keeps his word!"
The results are encouraging.
In live broadcast room No. 05, no one was discussing the issue of ghost hunting anymore, everyone was chatting enthusiastically.
Everyone is looking forward to the anchor coming up with a large sum of money in two weeks.
Xu Zhiyan was speechless for a while, and quickly closed the live broadcast room to look at other opponents.
As for what this guy is planning?
How could he not know!
In Xu Zhiyan's live broadcast room, many people also started discussing.
【Wow, how shameless! 】
[He felt that the live broadcast instance had been released for half a month, so he dared to do this. 】
[At this rate, with one round every night, this live copy will not last more than half a month. ]
[A small million is fine! He can give more! ]
[Don’t mislead the students above…]
[This kind of loophole has a chance of overturning. Anyway, I think it is best not to do this kind of opportunistic trick to deceive NPCs. 】
So what should Xiao Millionaire do?
At this moment, Xu Zhiyan had already scrolled to the last live broadcast room...
In Yu Xiu's live broadcast room, the scene was a dark corridor.
The only faint light was the faint moonlight coming in from the window at the corner of the stairs.
Xu Zhiyan frowned and looked for a while, the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.
Why does this place look like the door of his rental house? He saw the bag of cement at the corner in front when he went downstairs yesterday!
His breath was caught in his throat, and without time to think, he immediately rushed to the gate.
“Squeak!”
I quickly opened the door and sure enough, there was a timid young man standing outside.
Yu Xiu was a little confused, with a dazed expression.
The strange name of his live broadcast room attracted many viewers to watch the fun. After experiencing last night, he also got the specific address of Xu Zhiyan's home.
His wish was too humble, he just wanted to see Xu Zhiyan again, so he waited downstairs for a long time.
But who knew that even after waiting until midnight, the other party still didn't come downstairs.
Yu Xiu felt that he might be possessed.
He came to Xu Zhiyan's door, but didn't dare to knock.
The moment Yu Xiu opened his mouth to speak, Xu Zhiyan reached out and quickly and accurately pinched the boy's upper and lower lips outside the door, frowned and made a gesture to keep quiet before letting go.
After pulling the stupidly standing boy into the house, Xu Zhiyan glanced at his neighbor across the street and slammed the door shut, blocking out any prying eyes.
Yu Xiu stood at the door with his head lowered. He was a little scared, but not regretful.
"What are you doing here?"
Xu Zhiyan's voice was relatively steady.
Hearing the question, the boy's head almost dropped to the ground.
"I...I just want to see you."
Yu Xiu answered in a low voice.
This answer made Xu Zhiyan couldn't help laughing.
"Meet me? I charge a lot for offline meetings." He put his hand on the boy's chestnut head, touched his dry hair and said, "What are you going to pay with?"
Yu Xiu opened his mouth wide, somewhat unresponsive. He pursed his lips, stammered, and couldn't utter a word. In the end, he could only keep apologizing.
"I'm sorry... yes, I'm sorry! I didn't know that coming here would disturb you."
However, Xu Zhiyan had no intention of showing any mercy to the woman.
Pinching the timid boy's chin, Xu Zhiyan spoke with a smile as if evaluating him.
"Then join me in a live broadcast to pay back the money!"
He was worried about how to create a gimmick to increase the popularity of the live broadcast room and get rid of Chang Xingwei.
A few minutes later, Yu Xiu was completely dumbfounded.
He looked at the women's clothes covering the bed, and completely lost consciousness, stammering.
"I...I...I...I...I wear it?"
Xu Zhiyan smiled and nodded, approving of this matter.
"Pick the one you like. I'll change the name of the live broadcast to Women's Clothing Detective. Our collaboration will definitely be very popular!"
