Qianyue might be lazy, but she's a go-getter when it comes to things she sets her mind to. Once she's determined to win someone back, she'll act immediately—this is probably one of the few strengths of this straight-laced woman.
It's a pity that the new copy is about to open, and Qi Feng is too busy. Qianyue doesn't want to go and cause trouble at this time, so she can only make her presence felt on social software like visiting him every morning and evening.
At first it was just simple greetings in the morning and evening.
Qi Feng's reply was also very polite, even the punctuation marks showed distance.
At first glance, he seemed to be keeping people at a distance, but if you looked closely, you would find that he responded to every message Qianyue sent, and most of them were replied within seconds.
Occasionally, there were times when the intervals between replies were longer. When replying, he would casually explain what he was doing first, and then calmly ask what was the matter.
Qianyue was amused by his hypocritical attitude.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when the new copy was opened.
Before entering the game, Qian Chi eagerly clung to the door frame and said, "Sis, keep your word. If we meet in the game, you will take me to the live broadcast."
"You don't need to guide me for too long. Let's test the waters with a single instance first. We'll see how the audience reacts and then decide on the next steps..."
"Bang."
The only response he received was the ruthless sound of a door closing.
A familiar white light flashed before my eyes. When I opened my eyes again, a prosperous city quietly appeared before my eyes.
A prosperous city?
Qianyue was slightly stunned.
The previous copies were either extreme environments or natural disasters and man-made disasters. Since entering the game, she seemed to have not seen a complete modern city.
There are crowds of people and traffic, everything is running in an orderly manner. Looking around, there seems to be nothing strange in the whole city.
How to play the survival game in a city like this?
Soon, the city in the short film slowly changed.
Some people with oil paint on their faces and holding banners in their hands took to the streets to demonstrate loudly. Leaflets were flying in the air like snowflakes, but it was difficult to see what was written on them.
At the same time, more and more people poured into the interstellar station, and the hall was even in chaos due to the crowding. The scene switched again, and starships began to leave the port frequently.
In just a one or two second shot, the number of pedestrians and vehicles on the street began to decrease, and then the CBD buildings that had been lit all year round began to go out one by one, and the shops on the street also closed one by one.
The noisy sounds receded like the tide, and loneliness filled the gap, as if the entire city had become a ghost town overnight.
Garbage piled up like mountains on the roads and no one cleaned it up. After the rain, rotting garbage was scattered everywhere, breeding mosquitoes and causing a foul stench. Few people were wandering around the city, and all the shops were looted.
At the end of the short film, a crazy teenager rushed out from the street corner like an arrow, with half a piece of moldy bread stuffed in his mouth. Behind him were several equally sloppy people shouting and chasing him.
The road was piled high with garbage, and he nearly fell several times. But he kept rushing forward regardless, and gradually, those people were left further and further behind, and many of them stopped and gave up chasing.
As if he had noticed the movement behind him, the young man couldn't help but turn his head to take a look, with a smile of surviving a disaster on his face.
However, the moment he turned around, the smile on the boy's face froze instantly. Light and shadows shone on his face, and a huge shadow fell from the sky and enveloped him. The boy's eyes widened in horror.
The short film ends abruptly.
Welcome back to the Ten Day Plan
"Based on player feedback, the following adjustments have been made to this internal test—"
"Fixed some incorrect parameters."
"New player number report."
"The current number of remaining players is: 567. The survival dungeon is full of dangers, please proceed with caution."
Qianyue was stunned. Are there only so few people left?
It seems that the last dungeon gave the players a lot of trouble.
"Lucky player 3783 is detected as still holding the slot. 1,000 yen is hereby awarded as activity funds for the slot defense battle in this dungeon."
Battle to defend the aircraft position...
This word is really vivid.
The system said, "There are currently 37 camera positions remaining, including 50 random positions. This live broadcast will have a total of 87 camera positions and one official ranking room."
"As of 23:59:59 on the weekend of the last live broadcast, player 3783's live broadcast room is currently ranked 9th out of 100 live broadcast rooms in popularity. Please keep up the good work."
Qianyue pursed her lips: "9th."
Although the system announced a hundred live broadcast rooms, in reality, only the 50 fixed player live broadcast rooms had any effect on the selection process. Taking into account the 13 eliminated players, the ranking of "9th place" suddenly became unimpressive.
However, as long as she keeps holding onto her camera position and doesn't allow herself to be eliminated, when there are fewer and fewer available camera positions, it will only be a matter of time before she becomes one of the top three or even first.
"Super Mall is open."
As if it had already figured out her habits, the moment the super mall was opened, the system automatically brought up the lottery page for her, just like an orange app that secretly records user habits.
Qianyue: “…”
"I'm poor and can't afford to smoke."
She reluctantly closed the lottery, and looking at the only 2020 yen left, she felt that her parents were right not to insist on her inheriting the family business before - after all, she couldn't save any money at all.
Compared with Qian Chi, who can make money with money, the two siblings are not on the same path at all.
The system timely reminded: "The live broadcast will start in fifteen minutes, players are requested to complete the purchase as soon as possible."
Qianyue quickly came back to her senses and began to think about what she wanted to buy.
First of all, you must buy things like black bread and isatis root inhibitors.
In the last few days of the last dungeon, if Du Yue hadn't used his skills to heal her and lent her an inhibitor, Qianyue would have been in danger.
Qianyue pondered, "If I can meet him again this time, I'll give him two bottles of inhibitors as a thank you gift."
Qianyue spent nearly 1,600 yen and stocked up on 30 pieces of black bread, 10 pieces of mineral water, 20 pieces of isatis root, 3 pieces of high-grade bandages, and 15 pieces of mental suppressant.
She still planned to use the remaining 400 yen to buy props.
So far, she still has 1 shovel, 1 sunshade net, 1 roll of plastic packaging bags, 1 rubber raincoat, and 1 box of matches (13 uses left).
Half of these things were left over from her previous purchase, and the other half were won in a lottery.
According to the rules for the use of props, these props belong to the category that can be used for two rounds. After the copy is over, these props will automatically disappear even if the durability has not been consumed.
So Qianyue must make good use of the remaining money.
It's easy to see from the short film that this instance was set in a formerly prosperous city. However, for some reason, the city suffered a major change.
And this change was not sudden, otherwise people would not have taken to the streets to protest.
Qianyue muttered to herself, "So nuclear explosions and sudden illnesses can be ruled out for now."
All that remains are policies and pollution.
Qianyue's intuition told her that the "shadow" that appeared at the end of the picture was definitely the key to solving the problem, but because it was not directly shown, she couldn't guess what it was.
Qianyue thought about it and decided to buy a mask first.
Regardless of the cause of the disaster, the picture clearly shows garbage piling up and mosquitoes breeding. If nothing unexpected happens, infectious diseases should appear in the later stage.
At this time, personal protection is very necessary. So to be on the safe side, it is better to prepare a mask first.
If it weren't for the lack of funds, she would have liked to buy another set of protective clothing.
On the other hand, since the virtual map will continue to update at night, there is a high possibility of being attacked by other players at night, and it will be very inconvenient if there is no light.
So Qianyue thought about it seriously and used the last of her savings to buy ten filter masks and a cheap flashlight.
After the account funds were deducted, only a fraction of the original two thousand yen was left.
Soon the system announced:
"The sixth instance [The Last Pure Land] is now open. Good luck."
“Strongly demand the abolition of the regulations!”
"We will never compromise!"
"Protect the last piece of pure land on this planet!"
Before she could even open her eyes, a noisy sound suddenly came from her ears, as if the volume in her headphones had been suddenly turned up to the maximum. Qianyue was startled!
Then she was bumped by someone and staggered two steps uncontrollably.
"Fuck."
She quickly leaned against the wall to hold on, thus avoiding the fate of falling down as soon as she entered the dungeon.
At the same time, the noise continued, even getting louder. Qianyue turned around and found that she had been teleported directly to the bustling street.
The indigenous people had oil paint on their faces and held colorful banners in their hands. Many of them even took off their clothes on the spot to reveal the slogans written on their bodies to express their protest.
In addition, there were several flyers in the middle of the crowd. Adults were guarding them, and children were standing on them, throwing flyers around. The flyers with black words on white paper fell from the sky like snowflakes.
"Let's protest together! Repeal the regulations!"
"Resolutely oppose the implementation of the regulations! Protect the last piece of pure land on the planet!"
"Guarding bullshit! Don't you understand what I'm saying? What you're doing now is disobeying orders and disrupting order! If you continue like this, don't blame us for being rude!"
The security personnel around them tried to push them away and maintain order, but they were met with even stronger resistance. Those people spontaneously formed a wall, blocking all the law enforcement officers outside. The two sides kept pushing and shoving, and it seemed that the situation could escalate at any time.
The road was completely occupied by the mob, and not far away there was a long queue of cars waiting to pass. Many drivers were shouting and cursing while honking their horns angrily. The "thump thump" sound of the horns hit the eardrums, and the whole scene became more and more chaotic.
Not only the players, but also many viewers who had just entered the live broadcast room were shocked by the overly "lively" scene.
