Chapter 175 Chapter 175 "What are you playing?"...
"What are you playing?" the boy glanced at Wang Duo's phone screen. "That game from the Environmental Protection Club? Didn't we agree not to play it?"
Wang Duo's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned off his phone, shouting, "I'm not playing!"
"What's so fun about a crappy game? And it's made by that guy. It doesn't look fun to play." He added stubbornly.
"We all agreed not to play, how could I play behind your back?" He looked at the boy and said.
The boy who was secretly playing with her: "...That's right!"
He just felt that the picture that appeared on Wang Duo's mobile phone screen was a little familiar, so he wanted to secretly find someone with the same interest, but he didn't expect to make a mistake.
Yesterday, Wen Qian suddenly came to the classroom and stared at them like a smiling tiger as they downloaded the game one by one. He also asked them to give positive reviews after trying it out.
How is that possible!
Forget about the good reviews, they can't even play!
Wang Duo and several of his friends were determined not to fall into Wen Qian's trap this time.
They made the decision with full confidence and logged into the game right away - this was definitely not playing, they just wanted to see what tricks Wen Qian would play next.
As a result, they couldn't stop playing once they started. Until now, they don't even know what they were playing. They only remember that the sound effects and the feel of collecting garbage were too magical, and they finished the game without realizing it.
There's still a feeling of wanting more.
But they won't admit it!
Two people who had played the game several times in private remained silent and denounced the game.
"Just looking at this icon is not fun. The image is so ugly."
"Yeah, yeah, what's so fun about this game? It's just picking up trash. Who would like to play this?" the boy said with a guilty conscience.
"Exactly. They even asked people to rummage through the trash cans. It's inexplicable."
“That’s absolutely right!”
The two of them started complaining more and more slowly, and finally they looked at each other in silence.
"...How did you know this game involves picking up trash?"
"...You even know we have to dig through the trash cans here?"
The boy lowered his voice: "So you played it, didn't you say you wouldn't play anymore?"
Wang Duo choked up a bit: "I just want to see what tricks she is going to play. She's blaming me, but you're also playing the same trick!"
"Well, I just want to see what she is going to do."
The two looked at each other, exchanged a look silently, and knowing what was going on, they put the previous topic aside and huddled together to whisper.
"Have you finished the game? I feel like I've overlooked some quests, and I've opened two more levels... What? Can you still play it like this?!"
"I've researched this, and if you don't follow the instructions, you can trigger a lot of hidden plots..."
After comparing the information, the two felt that they had played for nothing, missing out on so many hidden missions and just picking up trash over and over again.
There is really no other way, I have to open a new file and play it again.
Individual power is not as good as collective power. The two always suspected that there were some hidden tasks that they didn’t know about. After discussing for a while, they decided to take a look at the forum and find more like-minded people.
"Can you find it?" the boy asked hesitantly.
"You don't know her," Wang Duo said firmly. "Since she wants others to give her game reviews so badly, she can't just ask us. She must have troubled people from other classes as well."
It's just that generally speaking, they will suffer first.
Rose Class - an early access server in a sense.
After logging into the forum, Wang Duo quickly scanned the keywords on the homepage and saw several game-related posts.
[Have you played the game from the Environmental Protection Club? Is there something wrong with how I play it? Why is it the same as the first day on the second day?]
——Another newcomer, this is normal, you can play for one more day and it will be the normal timeline, but you have to pay attention to this extra first day, it is specially for you to explore the map, you must familiarize yourself with the restaurant route on this day, it will be very useful later!
——Really? I thought it was a bug!
——How could it be a bug? How could they not fix such an obvious bug? This is clearly implying that there is something wrong with your day.
——I see, I understand!
——What? This game was made by the Environmental Protection Society. I don’t know why the Environmental Protection Society would make games?
——Promote environmental protection. There is a slogan when you log into the game. Didn’t you see it?
——I didn’t watch it. Who watches this stuff?
—Wait, this is an environmental game, isn’t it a horror game?
The post took a sudden turn at the end, and the students began to argue about whether this was a stress-relieving trash-picking simulation game or a horror game with deep meaning.
It ended with a forum link thrown out by a classmate.
[Let's discuss the hidden settings in the game about the environmental protection club]
Those seemingly ordinary quests are actually just tricks used by the surface world to deceive players. If you look closely, you can find hidden clues within those quests. I wonder if anyone has triggered the quest line in the teaching building? What the NPC said is very interesting.
——I have triggered it, and I felt something was wrong at the time. The NPC said "They have invaded again... We must eliminate them", and I felt it was not right at the time. Is there anyone who wants to discuss this?
——It’s obvious that this is not an ordinary game. I realized it not long after I started playing. The background music is in the typical horror game style.
——Many people must have triggered the pre-task of the restaurant line. Blood was dripping all over the floor from under the garbage bag. Finally, when I went to the restaurant, I was chased and hacked by the chef with a knife. I couldn’t even run away.
——I have played this. If you don’t want to pass the chase battle, it is very simple. Just bribe the chef with money. After bribing him, the chef NPC will give you a bowl of noodles and tell you that this is what you deserve after spending money. I guess he is implying that this is money to buy your life.
- So that blood in the blue trash can before, was it left behind by those who didn't pay for their lives? Oh my god, I thought it was a rotten tomato. The piece that fell out of the trash bag looked a lot like a tomato, so I didn't think much of it.
——You can tell with your toes that it can’t be a tomato. It must be censored human tissue.
——Did you take on the tree-planting quest on the fifth day? This quest is also quite problematic. The NPC who gave the quest hinted, "Whatever you buried last year, you have to bury again this year, and this will continue year after year."
——I have received it. At first I also thought it was just planting trees. Finally, when I was completing other tasks, I saw a clue pointing to the truth in a newspaper. There was a photo of a student tied to a tree, and there was a hole and a shovel next to it. This probably implies that what was planted were not trees, but people!
——Oh my god, it was such a waste of time. I just went there to pick up trash.
"...What are they talking about?" Zhou Zhu looked at the phone screen blankly.
How come she doesn't understand?
Wen Qian said yesterday that he had asked someone to help promote the game. There will definitely be feedback on the forum today, so he asked them to remember to take a look.
Zhou Zhu, who had specially visited the forum to take a look, was shocked: "Is this the publicity that Wen Qian arranged?"
Is this promotion for their game?
"Did you really draw that hint of burying someone?" She quickly looked at Lin Huai.
Lin Huai was silent for a long time before he spoke: "To enrich the game content, I drew two newspapers from the news agency, the one about Arbor Day."
So, this is really just a tree planting mission.
"What about the human tissue?"
"That's the kitchen waste you want. It's just a tomato." Lin Huai couldn't help but say, "I can't even draw a person well, let alone human tissue. Don't you think too highly of me?"
"Instead of these, tell me what the invasion is." Lin Huai asked back.
"What invasion?" Wen Qian, who had just walked into the activity room, heard the two voices and came over to take a look.
Lin Huai repeated the NPC's lines.
Wen Qian gave him a quizzical look. "You're referring to the invasive plant, goldenrod. It's very destructive to the environment."
"Didn't you draw it before? Why, did you forget?"
Lin Huai: He did draw it, but he didn’t connect it with this task.
Wen Qian looked down at the content of the post, and his expression changed from the initial joy of discovering that there were so many people discussing it to a blank expression.
"So... so this is what our game means?" she said in a daze.
"Your promotion is really unconventional," Zhou Zhu sighed. "Wen Qian, how did you come up with this promotion?"
“This isn’t the publicity I was looking for!”
"ah?"
"The promotion I'm looking for is another one." Wen Qian flipped through Zhou Zhu's phone, pointed to another post and said, "Here, this is it. I asked the drama club to help me get it."
It was obviously not safe for only the Rose Class to play games. Thinking about how to get other students to join in, Wen Qian thought of the people in the drama club.
She had previously obtained a prop and could ask the drama club to do her a favor. Wen Qian initially just wanted the people in the drama club to try out the game.
When she made her request, the girl who had asked her for help asked her if she wanted more people to play the game and said they could help her.
"They said they would perform a show on the forum to make people think that the game is popular and fun, so as to attract more people to join."
"But I haven't seen the post yet, so I don't know how they acted."
As he spoke, Wen Qian clicked on the promotional post posted by his classmates in the drama club.
[Why is this game so hard to beat?]
——Don’t laugh, you can’t pick up all the trash even if you try. *
——Don’t laugh, you can’t pick up all the trash even if you try.
——Don’t laugh, you can’t pick up all the trash even if you try.
…
The three environmental protection club members who saw the post fell silent at the same time.
Lin Huai: "Is this the publicity you found?"
Wen Qian: "I don't know him."
