Chapter 18 Ocean Heart Resort I am the Human Resources Department of Hei Gull, 10...
Gao Mengtang clicked on it with a confused look on his face, and first saw various analyses by players on his [8th floor] clearance video.
: There is no doubt that the blind man exerted mental control on the eccentric scholar, the knight and the drunkard woman, making them work for him, and he even bewitched the Hundred-Eyed Wizard...
Where is the doubt? How come Gao Mengtang doesn't know that he has done these things?
: It's a pity that the pharmacist died after learning the secret of the 999 spirit value. If he survives and completes the game, the white bar may become much longer.
: Upstairs, the secret of 999 is undoubtedly a gift from fate. And it has already been secretly marked with a price. This price is life. The pharmacist learned the secret of 999 from the blind man, and he died!
Gao Mengtang: ...What secret?
After watching the entire video from beginning to end, Gao Mengtang finally understood why the audience had such outrageous speculations.
Systematic malicious editing!
It cut out the clear cause and effect, and deliberately left some ambiguous and imaginative clips to guide the players to fill in the gaps. Gao Mengtang decisively chose to complain, filling in "malicious editing, piecing together clips to lead the audience to misunderstanding" in the reason.
As soon as the complaint letter was sent, I received a system reply within two minutes.
[The complaint is not valid, all interpretation rights belong to Heita]
[In order to obtain more exciting videos, the system can edit video materials in any way without infringing the rights]
[The system is willing to help players gain attention and love, which is what many people dream of]
Gao Mengtang had never seen such an unreasonable person. He wanted to continue complaining, so he wrote a long paragraph and then deleted it word by word.
He thought about the way he passed by the school and the long-necked teacher with a 50-meter-long neck stuck to the car window to watch them. Black Tower is a crazy game that can teleport monsters into reality. It would be crazy to reason with "them".
But one thing is clear: the editing that caused misunderstandings was intentional. The purpose was to make the clearance video more exciting and to gain "attention and love" for the players.
It is unclear why the system does this.
Gao Mengtang closed the forum, and new messages kept popping up in his private mailbox.
They were invitations from various camps, including Dark Flash Butterfly, Ghost Bamboo, Velvet Gallery... and a pure black envelope, with the sender shown as Black Gull Human Resources Department.
Gao Mengtang didn't want to join any camp. He was too lazy to open any email and just clicked "read".

Across the wall, He Lun's post "Why does my heart beat faster when I meet someone?" is still as lively as ever.
Netizens used wild logic to infer that the blind man was an ancient god. The focus shifted to another place: Why did the knight touch the blind man?
: Where did you meet the blind person? Physical contact? Skin to skin?
OP: When I’m driving.
:? ? !
: Damn, let’s talk about driving in detail
: What did you do to my wife? I'm going to kill you!
A group of people couldn't accept the "driving" and broke down, swearing at He Lun.
The curse words piled up hundreds of times, and He Lun also got angry: Calling the blind man wife? Does the blind man know you? Has he ever looked you in the face for even a second? Sorry, I've been through a dungeon with the blind man.
: I x you @#￥%&!
He Lun: You can curse me all you want. The blind man is lying in the room just across the wall from me. I'm in a good mood, so I won't mind if you poor bastards curse me.
: The blind man is a thousand times, ten thousand times more beautiful in person than in the video, hehe, but you can’t see it!
Seeing the netizens' curses getting more and more foul, He Lun couldn't hold back his anger and deliberately said something to provoke them.
Knock, knock, knock. Gao Mengtang's voice came from the other side of the door: "He Lun, what are you talking about on the forum?"
He Lun's smile froze on his face. He rushed over to open the door and saw Gao Mengtang neatly dressed. Her freshly washed hair was fluffy and soft, and exuded a faint scent of shower gel.
"I'm hungry and want to have a midnight snack. Where can I eat something nearby?" Gao Mengtang asked.
He Lun said hurriedly: "Brother, let's go eat hot pot! I was craving for hot pot in the dungeon, and there is a restaurant nearby that is particularly delicious!"
Gao Mengtang's eyes lit up, and he looked a little surprised: "Really?"
Being stared at by such big eyes, He Lun's heart almost melted. His mind could not think of anything else. He wanted to carry Gao Mengtang to the hot pot restaurant.
However……
When all the dishes were served, He Lun looked at the table full of green dishes with a numb expression.
Gao Mengtang was very happy. The dipping sauce in front of him was sesame paste and mushroom soup base. "I am a vegetarian and my taste is light. Few people are willing to eat hot pot with me. I miss this steaming feeling."
The waiter who served the food looked back frequently, and the people at the surrounding tables stretched their necks to look at them. It was obviously the first time they had seen such an outrageous way of eating.
What is the difference between a vegetarian hotpot with clear soup pot and boiled vegetables?
He Lun raised his heavy arms, picked up a piece of spinach with chopsticks, hesitated for a moment, and with a tragic mood, rinsed it in the pot.
"Don't you like eating hotpot with me?" Gao Mengtang asked worriedly.
"Of course not!" He Lun's mouth was faster than his brain. He immediately stuffed the boiled vegetables into his mouth, swallowed them hard, and said against his conscience, "It's delicious!"
Gao Mengtang smiled helplessly: "Eating more vegetables is good for your health."
Although Clear Sky Harbor is no longer a tourist destination, cruise ships often pass by, and most of the people coming and going are crew members. They discuss storms, cargo, and strange stories around the port.
The news of the Black Tower monster invading reality has not yet reached here. Clear Sky Harbor is safe for the time being, and everything is peaceful and quiet.
Some words came into Gao Mengtang's ears intermittently.
"Ocean Heart Fairytale Park? I took my daughter there. The castle and the garden were so beautiful!"
“I heard that tens of billions of dollars were invested!”
"The tickets are so expensive, seven or eight hundred per ticket, and the place is packed with people. For the whitewater rafting, the queue is three hours."
"Ocean Heart... What a pity. Our hotel is located not far from the park," He Lun sighed with a heavy expression. It was unclear whether it was because of the all-vegan hot pot or the failed business. "After the shark attack 15 years ago, Fairy Tale Park closed down. The hotel is also no longer viable."
Gao Mengtang: "Why did the sharks attack Clear Sky Harbor? Are there any investigation results?"
He Lun shook his head. "Ocean currents? Climate? Marine debris? Who knows?"
After eating hot pot, we took a walk to digest the food. He Lun pointed in a direction and said, "Brother, can you see the top of the castle? That is the main castle of the Heart of the Ocean."
The misty moon could not shine through the clouds, and the castle spire plunged straight into the darkness, as if being sucked into the abyss in the sky.
Gao Mengtang looked at the castle. The night seemed to have a magical power that cleansed the impurities in his heart. The waves hit the dock again and again, and the deep and ancient rhythm was the sound of the ocean.
The quiet atmosphere was broken by He Lun's scream of "Ah".
"You, you are not...what are you doing in my hotel!" He pointed at someone tremblingly.
The man was wearing a turquoise jacket and sitting in a black rickshaw. The front edge of the awning was decorated with a row of golden bells, and the gilded lanterns next to the handrails were spinning.
The shadow cast by the rain shelter obscured his face. The man tapped the handle of his rosewood pipe, which was carved with twisted wire. The sachet shook like an exquisite pipe, and the flower and bird patterns embroidered with silver thread flashed in the moonlight.
The two clay figures pulling the rickshaw lifted the rain awning, revealing a handsome face. He had short silver-gray hair and wore a brocade hat. It was impossible to tell his gender from his appearance, as he was so delicate that he looked almost like a girl.
"Blind man, you can't read it, so I have to come and invite you in person." He spoke in a soft voice, and it was impossible to tell whether he was male or female. "I would like to introduce myself to you. I am the 101st body cleansing master of the Heigu Human Resources Department, Wei Wei."
