Chapter 101
At 7 pm on Saturday, people in the real world turned on their TVs or video apps to watch the recently popular variety show "Make Money! Guests".
The new episode of the variety show is still very interesting. Several resident guests fight the BOSS in the copy, solve the ultimate puzzles, and various exciting reversals and large-scale battle scenes make people so nervous that they dare not breathe. When they come to their senses, two hours have passed.
As the guest group finally escaped and returned to campus, the audience also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of exhilaration.
As the plot slowed down a bit, the number of comments floating by immediately increased.
【This battle is so cool!!】
[With this scene and this plot, I'm not saying this, but there's no variety show right now that can beat "Making Money." They're all so weak!]
[It was exciting, but if I were being chased by that ghost, I would definitely be scared to death.]
[Can Nightmare World give me more game spots? I've signed up countless times, but why is it never my turn?]
[Oh my god, what kind of top-tier Europeans are the ones who get the lottery spots? I've never done anything bad in my life, so can't I even have a spot?]
The guest who returned to Nightmare University went to the Student Union to settle the mission reward, and then prepared to go to the cafeteria to review the operation and reward himself with some delicious food.
The camera turned and several guests came to the cafeteria, only to find that many small stalls had appeared around the cafeteria. They asked curiously and finally found out the whole story.
When they entered the dungeon, they found out that the president of their university was running for mayor, and these stalls were sent by other domain lords to canvass for votes.
After listening, the guests: ""
audience:""
No, why do you have a mayoral election in your nightmare world?
[Principal: Don't cue me while running for mayor]
[Hahahaha, but why bring in your political opponents to canvass for votes? Principal, you're being too martial.]
The guests were also quite amusing. Although they coveted the free props, they had to act righteously in front of the camera and earnestly express their firm support for the principal's career.
When leaving, every guest's eyes were almost glued to the stall, and the starry eyes special effects added later gave it a full variety show effect.
[Hahaha, Dacongming must be thinking, if I don't get this prop today, I'm going to hang myself at the door of the principal's office.]
How dare you! You're eating in the cafeteria built by the principal, and you still want to vote for other domain masters? On behalf of the principal, I'll destroy you!
In the cafeteria, several guests who had experienced life and death together sat together, eating and talking about their campaign for mayor.
At this time, the director team suddenly handed over an invitation letter. Congming, who was nicknamed "Smart" by the audience, volunteered to be the first to open the invitation letter.
The other guests gathered around curiously to watch. Cong Ming was surrounded in the middle and read out the words on the invitation letter word by word.
"Dear guests, the mayoral election is coming to an end. We sincerely invite you to go to [Yanluo Palace] to watch the ceremony."
"Huh?" The shocked guests exclaimed almost in unison: "Yama Palace?!"
This episode of "Let's Make Money! Guests" ended abruptly with the guests exclaiming in surprise.
After a brief black screen, a mournful and sad female voice hums, and amid the increasingly dense drum beats, several overhead shots quickly flash back.
In the night, a bustling city that never sleeps is brightly lit, with pavilions and towers full of ancient charm. The skull lanterns emitting dim green lights flicker eerily, and pale paper money falls in the air. The seemingly bustling streets are filled with ghosts.
The last shot ends with two towering city gates slowly opening.
Two lines of blood-red words slowly appeared on the black screen:
"The gates of hell are open, and hundreds of ghosts roam the night.
09.29, please stay tuned. ”
On that day, not long after the show "Make Money! Guests" was broadcast, the term #夜梦世界百鬼夜行# became a hot search.
It’s just a few seconds of video, but the exquisite modeling of the red pillars and carved rafters, carved railings and jade bricks is still clearly visible, so real that it seems to exist in reality.
Netizens who didn’t watch the variety show followed the trending searches and were all shocked by the exquisite modeling.
[I'm about to ask what film and television studio this is, and you're telling me it's a holographic game? Are holographic games this amazing these days?!]
[Paper money, skull lanterns, ghosts, why does it feel so spooky, is this a horror game?]
[What game, what game, what game? I want to play it, I want to play it, I want to play it! ]
[Everyone, stop guessing! Nightmare University just released a new event preview. For details, please visit the Nightmare University official blog.]
Netizens who were interested in watching the incident immediately shifted their focus and flocked to the official Weibo account of Nightmare University.
Nightmare University:
"The cold wind blows away all spirits, and the ghost town blooms with strange light.
Ghosts offer sacrifices to the ancient land, traveling back and forth in the underworld."
The new gameplay of the limited-time scene will be released on 09.29, so stay tuned.
After seeing this trailer, netizens who knew something about Nightmare University through variety shows had a feeling that "it's as expected."
Games are games, how can they not introduce new ways to play?
I just don’t know what the limited-time scenes and new gameplay will be like this time, and whether they have a chance to grab a spot.
The new gameplay was revealed two days later, and the variety show had just been aired. The popularity of the new gameplay remained high for a while. Netizens had a premonition that the new scene opened by Nightmare University would bring unprecedented grand occasion, and they enthusiastically speculated about the content of the new gameplay.
Even the headquarters of the Heresy Monitoring Bureau held a special meeting on this matter.
"October 2nd is the start of Nightmare World's third public beta test, and Nightmare University is using this timing to promote new gameplay. It's clear they have ulterior motives."
"The third round of public beta testing is expected to open up 10 million new slots. If Nightmare University's president successfully runs for mayor, then Nightmare University's Ghost Domain will expand to the entire city." A psychic said solemnly, "By then, this Ghost Domain may be able to accommodate 10 million new players."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the meeting.
Ten million new players, plus more than one million old players from the previous two rounds of public beta testing, even if each player only provides 100 points of energy to Nightmare University, it can be converted into more than 1 billion points of energy for the domain master of Nightmare University in one fell swoop!
One billion points! They had no idea how terrifying the Territory Master of Nightmare University would become after this limited-time scenario ended.
"We absolutely cannot allow Nightmare University to successfully hold this event!" The director said in a deep voice, "Notify the captains of each team to immediately implement strategic deployment."
The participants with special abilities responded positively. Feng Jihan glanced at the content of the projection and was distracted by what Cen Xun had said to him that day.
It turns out that the so-called "big project" refers to this
He is indeed an evil ball of yarn. He first ran for mayor and took over the entire H city. Before he was officially elected, he had already started promoting new activities. It seems that he had planned it all along.
However, a big tree attracts the wind, and the strong emergence of Nightmare University is likely to arouse the vigilance of the Heresy Monitoring Bureau.
I don’t know how Cen Xun will respond to the Heresy Monitoring Bureau’s next sabotage actions.
No matter how the Heresy Monitoring Bureau deploys, it will definitely be too late to stop the public live broadcast of the new gameplay in two days.
On September 29th, the same day, the election for the new deputy director of the Heresy Monitoring Bureau also came to an end after a multi-party game.
Feng Jihan, as one of the important members of the Heresy Monitoring Bureau, also needs to be present.
Night fell quietly. Feng Jihan dressed himself and set off half an hour early to pick up Administrator 01 and Zhou Mian on the way.
Administrator 01 bent down and got into the car. Not seeing Su Mingqi, he frowned worriedly: "Is it okay to leave the deputy captain there alone?"
Feng Jihan said: "It's okay, I sent a clone to watch him."
Administrator 01 exhaled, closed the car door with a serious expression, and said, "I hope everything goes well tonight."
"I will." Feng Jihan looked ahead with a firm tone.
They soon picked up Zhou Mian outside a village in the city.
Zhou Mian stood alone in the wind with an expressionless face. He seemed not to have slept well and looked haggard.
When Feng Jihan saw this, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he was bullied by Tong Ming, the peeping Tom, again?
The car stopped in front of Zhou Mian. Feng Jihan lowered the window and asked him to get in. Zhou Mian responded sleepily and opened the door with drooping eyelids. As he stepped into the car, something on the ground jumped up and followed his footsteps.
Feng Jihan: "What is this?"
Zhou Mian got in the car, grabbed one of the things in his hand, and said helplessly: "Eyes."
The spherical object in clear black and white is clearly an eyeball.
Seeing Feng Jihan looking at him, Zhou Mian glared at Feng Jihan with a warning look in his hand.
Feng Jihan frowned: "Tong Ming is watching you with his eyes? Why didn't you tell me?"
After Zhou Mian and Tong Ming had a fight that day, Feng Jihan was worried that Tong Ming would retaliate against Zhou Mian and his grandmother, so he gave him two feathers.
But the feathers can defend against skills, but they cannot prevent Tong Ming from tracking with part of his body.
Feng Jihan didn't expect Tong Ming to be so obsessed with Zhou Mian. Since he couldn't come in person, he harassed Zhou Mian with his eyes. Sure enough, he was as bad as ever.
What does this voyeur want?
Feng Jihan ignored the eyeball's warning, took the eye from Zhou Mian's hand, and crushed it.
With a "ji" sound, the eyeball was pinched into a flat slice, and Feng Jihan threw it out of the window in disgust.
But soon, two new eyeballs jumped onto Zhou Mian's knees and jumped up and down a few times towards Feng Jihan as if in protest, like some kind of provocation.
"It's useless. No matter how many you kill, new eyeballs will appear the next day." Zhou Mian yawned and rubbed his eyes. "Just look at it. It won't cost you a piece of meat."
This tactic of hurting the enemy a hundred times while hurting yourself a thousand times cannot cause any harm to Zhou Mian. It is just purely disgusting.
Feng Jihan: ""
Zhou Mian took out his cell phone, and his eyes immediately jumped to his shoulders, watching his every move.
Zhou Mian skillfully opened a box of cooling oil, grabbed his two eyeballs and pressed them onto the ointment. The irritating ointment instantly made his two eyeballs start to shed tears in the wind.
Zhou Mian said calmly: "Don't worry, it's actually quite fun to torture him."
Feng Jihan and Administrator 01: ""
When [Omniscience] meets [Precognition], it can be said that it has met its nemesis.
When they arrived at the venue, the live broadcast of Nightmare University had already begun.
Netizens entered the live broadcast room early, and when they saw the pictures start to appear in the live broadcast, the barrage of comments flew everywhere.
【Here it comes! 】
【expect! 】
The scene begins with familiar guests. Congming, known as "Big Smart," stands with his five teammates, looking toward the camera and asking, "It's starting, right?"
After receiving a positive response, Cong Ming smiled and said hello to the camera: "Good evening, audience friends. We are now at the location mentioned in the invitation letter, but this is not the Yama Palace. We are still outside the city."
"As for what city it is? Haha, you definitely can't imagine!"
After a round of familiar banter, the atmosphere became very relaxed.
Cong Ming kept the audience in suspense, but at the urging of the barrage of comments, the camera finally turned and the entire towering city gate appeared in the picture.
Above the city gate, the four eerie words "Fengdu Ghost City" appeared before the audience's eyes.
Cong Ming: "Ding ding ding ding, that's right! The six of us are going to hell!"
The barrage was instantly flooded with question marks.
[Are you crazy, Fengdu Ghost City? ? ]
[Holy crap! I, a living person, actually saw the real underworld!]
[Can someone tell me if this is a special effect? Don't tell me it's a modeled scene. It's impossible. I don't believe it. Current technology is simply not capable of this level of sophistication.]
Cong Ming said, "That's right, it's exactly what you see. We won't be doing any dungeons today, we're just having fun."
A teammate, with tears in his eyes, clenched his fist and said, "Finally, we don't have to fight in the Battle Royale! Awesome!"
Cong Ming waved his hand with an air of confidence: "Enough of the nonsense, let's go! Let's go in and take a look now!"
Someone pretended to be afraid: "Brother Smart, if we go in, will we be able to get out?"
Cong Ming said with a smile: "If you can't get out, just get a job inside. Working anywhere is still working."
The six people walked into the vast white fog with laughter and jokes. In the distance, the gloomy city gate was presented in its entirety under the camera, and the visual effect was very shocking.
When the camera followed Cong Ming and others into the city, the scenes captured were even more dazzling.
The scattered and orderly buildings are extremely prosperous. The palace lanterns hanging high under the eaves are like the reflection of the stars. The crowds of people come and go, walking in the light and shadow among the lively neighborhood restaurants, instantly bringing people back to the prosperous era thousands of years ago.
The extremely spectacular scene caused the barrage of comments to go blank for a moment.
If you don't see it with your own eyes, such a magnificent scene is definitely a magnificent picture that ordinary people can't imagine even if they exhaust all their imagination.
Cong Ming and others also opened their eyes wide, and apart from exclaiming "Wow", they could not make any other reaction.
"This, this," Cong Ming stammered, "isn't that too exaggerated?"
It was not until the director team reminded them to change their clothes that Cong Ming and his teammates came to their senses and followed the steps to open the dressing system. Thousands of ancient costumes and hairstyles were available, and they could freely match them and change clothes with one click, all for free.
Cong Ming couldn't help but ask, "Will there be no fees after the official launch?"
After receiving a positive response, Cong Ming was shocked and said, "They don't charge any money for this! Is this sponsor doing charity?"
The barrage was also shocked.
[Isn't this better than the one at Scenic Area 288? It's free and time-saving. If it's real, this holographic game is amazing!]
The long holiday is coming soon. Instead of going to a crowded tourist attraction, why not check in at a ghost town? Raise your hand if you agree!
Congming and others changed their clothes with great interest and went shopping in the market.
All the food and drinks are free, there are wonderful performances along the way, and you can win bonuses by triggering the game plot.
Then, they quickly passed through all eight scenes of the underworld, including Naihe Bridge, Peeling Pavilion, Wangxiangtai, and the last stop, they arrived at the Ghost Gate.
The timing was just right. When they arrived, the gates of hell were about to open.
All the lights in the city turned into ghostly green lights, paper money floated in the air, and the lively atmosphere in the city took a sharp turn for the worse, becoming eerie and terrifying.
"Hundreds of ghosts roam the night, and living people stay away."
With the sound of a gong, ghosts in white robes led the way in front, and behind them, all kinds of ghosts appeared one by one.
The Daolao ghost that spews poisonous mist, the hanged ghost with a long tongue, and the shaggy ghost with hair standing up like needles.
These ghosts gathered into a long and mighty team and headed to the Yama Palace, the core of Fengdu Ghost City.
The underworld clears the way and hundreds of ghosts come to pay homage.
The horrific and magnificent scene is difficult to describe in words.
Even the audience watching through the screen were amazed, not to mention the Congming six-member group who were present at the scene.
It was not until they were reminded by the director team that they came to their senses and went to the Yama Hall to watch the ceremony according to the procedure.
In reality, Feng Jihan also sat in a seat at the venue.
After greeting his colleagues one by one, Feng Jihan took out his mobile phone again and watched the live broadcast before the conference officially started.
There is no need to say much about the majesty and solemnity of the Yama Hall. When the camera enters the inner hall, its luxury makes the commentators exclaim in amazement.
In the dark corner of the light and shadow, there are ten square thrones with intricate workmanship. The number ten is very subtle. Feng Jihan guessed that they should correspond to the Ten Kings of Hell in the legend of the underworld.
Feng Jihan didn't expect that the "big project" that Cen Xun mentioned could be so big. He also didn't know how Cen Xun did it. He actually changed the appearance of the entire H city, built high-rise buildings on flat ground, and quietly created such a "Fengdu Ghost City".
Next is the short holiday in the real world. Cen Xun is promoting at this time. It is conceivable where tourists who don’t want to go to crowded scenic spots will be diverted.
The fact that you can visit this attraction without leaving your home is enough to beat 100% of the attractions in the world, not to mention the gimmick of eating, drinking and having fun for free and even winning prizes.
In fact, the free ones are the most expensive.
Fengdu Ghost Town does not charge money because what it wants is the lives of tourists.
Feng Jihan's eyes deepened slightly.
The venue suddenly became quiet, and the final round of elections for the deputy director of the Heresy Monitoring Bureau officially began.
As expected, the person who was finally elected was Qu Zhaoxuan.
Qu Zhaoxuan stood up amid thunderous applause, straightened his neat suit, smiled and bowed slightly to those around him.
In the nightmare world, hundreds of ghosts gathered together and officially announced that the president of Nightmare University was successfully elected as the mayor of H City and served as the ghost king in the limited-time scene.
Qu Zhaoxuan walked onto the stage under the bright lights, took the microphone, and prepared to make a statement.
In the nightmare world, all ten kings of hell gathered together, but the position of the Ghost King remained vacant. As the representative of Nightmare University, Cen Xun came on stage to announce the relevant content of the limited-time scene.
Cen Xun was wearing a black robe with gold patterns, and his long black hair was tied up. Although the light shining on him was not dazzling, it still left an overly heavy mark in everyone's vision.
The barrage was blank for a moment, and then suddenly exploded.
【Teacher Cen!!!】
【I rely on me, I rely on me】
[I’d love to see Mr. Cen in ancient costume in this lifetime. I really, would die without regrets.]
[It’s so beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful, I fainted on the spot]
Nightmare University understands what we want to see, and they even let Teacher Cen speak. I declare, you have traffic!
Cen Xun walked calmly into the camera, as calm as usual.
"I'm honored to speak on behalf of Nightmare University. Next, let me introduce the upcoming limited-time Fengdu Ghost City scenario."
Qu Zhaoxuan said into the microphone: "Ever since the advent of heretics, humanity has been facing crises from strange monsters. As people with special abilities, we have the responsibility to protect our homeland and our compatriots."
"Taking into account the different tolerances of each player, in the limited-time Fengdu Ghost City scenario, players can choose between tourist mode and player mode based on their respective abilities, experiencing different routes." Cen Xun raised his eyes and smiled slightly. "The estimated number of spots available for this round of limited-time scenarios is 10 million."
"And now, a new challenge has arrived. The monsters have returned, attempting to stir up chaos in our world." Qu Zhaoxuan's heavy voice was transmitted through the microphone to every corner of the venue: "We will never allow the monsters to extend their killing hands to innocent people. Every psychic should do their utmost to hold up an umbrella of protection for our compatriots!"
Qu Zhaoxuan said firmly, "I will fight the monsters to the end, together with all the superpowers, without compromise, until we defeat the monsters' conspiracy and return our safe home to our compatriots!"
Cen Xun stared directly at the camera, his smile deepening: "I will wait for your arrival in the nightmare world."
The whole audience burst into applause, and the inspiring declaration came to an end with applause.
There was another meeting to come, so Feng Jihan quietly stood up and left early.
Administrator 01 and Zhou Mian noticed his movements but ignored them, looking away as if they hadn't seen anything.
Feng Jihan walked out of the venue and closed the loud noise echoing in the venue behind the door.
In a dim corner, someone handed a small box to Feng Jihan. Feng Jihan took it and opened it. Two transparent chips the size of memory cards were lying quietly inside.
Feng Jihan gently stroked them with his fingertips.
One is the key to the monitor on Su Mingqi's body, and the other is the key on the neck ring of the experimental subject in the research institute.
True freedom is only available to those who are powerful.
Is this why humans keep climbing up?
Feng Jihan sneered, closed the box, and left alone with it.
The person who handed over the box walked out of the darkness and headed in another direction as usual, and the bright light and shadow fell on his face again.
Qu Zhaoxuan greeted the visitor with a smile and went to the next drinking party.
