Chapter 152 Chapter 152 Seeing that it was indeed at the booth...
Seeing that it was indeed Wen Qian who was waiting for him in the booth, Xia Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief. When he walked towards the booth, he was worried that he would still not see Wen Qian.
If this happens, he may really not be able to contact her.
After all, Wen Qian wouldn't read his messages, and there was a certain probability that he wouldn't answer his calls.
"Why were you so anxious just now?" he asked puzzledly.
Wen Qian said frankly, "To get the reward. Here, this is for you."
She gave one of the two bracelets she had just received to Xia Zhiqing.
Xia Zhiqing took the bracelet and saw the trial number on it. He roughly guessed what the bracelet was used for.
He successfully misunderstood Wen Qian's words about getting the reward as her coming so quickly just to get the trial qualification in advance.
Xia Zhiqing buckled the bracelet around his wrist, raised the corner of his lips and looked at Wen Qian: "So this is why."
The game-ending message had already appeared on the computer screens of the two players in front. Xia Zhiqing glanced sideways and naturally reached out to hold the wrist of the person next to him.
"Let's go over first." He was a little nervous. After taking a few steps, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wen Qian had no extra reaction.
"I've seen the trailer for the multiplayer version this time. It requires two people to work together to complete it. The content and gameplay seem to have changed a bit compared to the previous version." Xia Zhiqing looked at Wen Qian. "Which character do you want to play?"
There are two characters in the game: a reporter and a psychic. The reporter is more of an assisting character in deciphering puzzles, while the psychic, a supernatural character, directly confronts ghosts.
Wen Qian didn't think much about it and directly gave the reporter's name.
Xia Zhiqing was stunned for a moment: "I thought you wanted the role on the supernatural side more."
The characters on the supernatural side are mainly responsible for seeing ghosts. Wen Qian’s favorite is a certain horror monster in this game. Only by getting a character on the supernatural side can you see the monster face to face.
"If I were playing games normally, I would definitely choose that one," Wen Qian said regretfully, "but it's different now."
For the sake of the mission reward, it would be better for her to be cautious.
Xia Zhiqing, who didn't quite understand what Wen Qian meant, nodded in confusion: "Is that so..."
He thought to himself and looked sideways at Wen Qian: "It's okay, let's choose your favorite character next time we play together."
Don't regret this time, there will be next time.
Facing the invitation hidden in the words of the person next to him, Wen Qian accepted it completely: "Okay, then you can use reporters next time!"
A smile appeared on Xia Zhiqing's face, but the smile didn't last long before he heard Wen Qian's next words.
"It seems that it will be expanded to four players online later. I don't know the identities of the remaining two hidden characters. We can find two more people to play together then!" Wen Qian's words were full of anticipation for the increase in the number of online players.
Hearing Wen Qian's words, Xia Zhiqing paused and said, "The game company is only focusing on promoting two-player online this time. It seems that the experience of four-player online is not as good as that of two-player online, and the role positioning conflicts."
"If you want to play four-player multiplayer, you'd better wait a while until the game is optimized."
Wen Qian thought about it seriously for a moment. Indeed, if the user experience was not good, it would be a big problem.
What Xia Zhiqing said makes sense. The game company is mainly promoting two-player online this time. Maybe it is just as he said - two-player online experience is the best.
"Okay, let's see then!"
Xia Zhiqing nodded gently and casually dispelled Wen Qian's idea of inviting others to play together the moment the four of them went online.
The two logged into the game together, selected their characters, and went through the tutorial.
The gameplay is similar to the previous one, but the game scene has changed a bit. The gameplay is a bit like splitting the previous operation of one person onto two characters.
Previously, players needed to avoid ghosts during the decryption process, but now two people work together, one person is mainly responsible for decryption, and the other person obtains escape tools in another space surrounded by ghosts based on the clues given by the decryptor.
The biggest difficulty is that after the two people enter the scene, they will soon separate and can only communicate with each other through the walkie-talkie in the game - that is, the voice channel.
If they were playing the game privately, in order to complete the game without any damage, Wen Qian would probably just go to Xia Zhiqing's side and play, manually sharing the screen.
You don’t need to use the walkie-talkie in the game. If you have any questions, just talk to the person in person.
But now it was a live trial, and the two people's computers were facing each other. Not to mention looking at the screen, they couldn't even see each other's expressions.
Once the headphones are put on, the opportunistic method of verbal retelling is also cut off.
The player took a deep breath, it seems that this time it really depends on his skills.
If she unfortunately encounters a situation where she has to get hurt, then she can only use that last trick which is a bit unfair.
[Game Start]
The decryptor in the game setting is actually a reporter in the plot. To investigate a strange incident, the reporter invites a psychic, an expert in the paranormal field.
In the plot, the two came to an abandoned villa. A reporter who had heard from an insider that strange phenomena had occurred there decided to find out.
"What a classic excuse." Wen Qian was silent for two seconds, then said, "I remember the single-player version was about playing a ghost-summoning game at school without knowing the consequences."
Xia Zhiqing listened to Wen Qian's calm complaints and couldn't help but chuckle, "At least you didn't play the ghost-calling game recklessly this time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the reporter, who found nothing in the villa, decided to stay there until night, and when dark fell, he discovered strange sacrificial patterns in the basement of the villa.
[…That supernatural event he was talking about couldn't be this damn pattern? I got fooled by that idiot. Wait until I get back… Hmm? What's this? Scratches?]
[This thing looks like it's been moved. Hey, come here quickly, I found a diary!]
[Don't want to complete the sacrificial pattern? ...There are always people making these weird things...I'll bear with it for the sake of the salary. It's a gimmick after all. Let me find the pen...]
The reporters who are ostensibly trying to find the truth are actually just trying to find some sensational news to fool the editor.
Not finding any valuable news in the villa, he decided to create the news himself.
As soon as this scene came out, the two people who were just saying that at least there was no ghost-summoning game this time fell silent at the same time.
...This thing is not much better than the ghost-summoning game.
Wen Qian: "It felt like 100 similar game plots flashed before my eyes. Oh yeah, horror movies are also like this."
Wen Qian, who controls this character, has been complaining since he entered the game.
Although he complained, he still followed the game instructions and chose the most suicidal method.
Complete the pattern, and do it with a bottle of red liquid that looks wrong.
The psychic controlled by Xia Zhiqing was muttering that something seemed to be wrong here, but he was just muttering and did not do anything to stop the reporter's actual actions.
The unbearable pre-plot finally came to an end. With a scream from the game character, the environment of the villa suddenly changed.
The reporter, knowing that he had gotten into big trouble, shouted, "We have to escape quickly, find out where the door is!"
——Then he handed over full operational authority to Wen Qian.
The game didn't give any hints. The two people talking through the headsets walked towards the only place with light at the same time. When they reached the corner, the light suddenly flashed.
The psychic character exclaimed and disappeared from the screen.
Wen Qian listened to the deliberately created intercom sound in the headset and said, "Xia Zhiqing, where are you now?"
"I don't know." Xia Zhiqing's voice was a little distorted. "My screen is basically black now, with only a little light... A ghost came over. Not bad, it brightened a little after it appeared."
Wen Qian controlled the character to run quickly along the corridor into the only enterable room. The lights around him kept flashing, and from time to time, a few harmless ghosts suddenly appeared.
Entering the room, she fell silent after seeing the scene in front of her: "I think I know why there is no light over there. Wait a moment, I will fix the circuit."
Can you please spare the innocent circuits and light bulbs in your horror scenes?
No matter who comes, he has to be a maintenance worker, right?
What is this maintenance worker batch copy plan?
