In the evening of Hecheng, the sun has already set, and the remaining clouds in the sky are gorgeous purple and pink. It is always hot outside in summer. At the entrance of Heshun Supermarket, Grandpa Wang is fanning himself and sipping his Monkey King tea slowly.
His small supermarket is old and run-down, and has no air conditioning. Most customers prefer to go to the chain supermarket across the street to buy things, and few people come all day long. Uncle Wang looked at his watch. It was still a few minutes before seven o'clock. If no one came, he would close the store at seven and go fishing.
He was sitting in a rocking chair, feeling relaxed, when he suddenly heard the couple on the second floor quarreling again. Soon after, Lao Qian's wife started to cry: "My child, my child, it's all your fault. Your conscience has been eaten by dogs. If it weren't for your gambling debt, would Xiaolin have been able to enter that game? Now you haven't made any money, and your child is dead. What are you going to do with the money now? Are you just going to run away?"
Not long after, the sound of Old Qian smashing things was heard. Uncle Wang shook his head. What a quarrel! The Qian family's child became a vegetable at such a young age. Who could bear it? Alas, if you want to blame someone, blame the greed of human nature. It's all the parents' fault...
"Excuse me, give me a pound of noodles and two eggs." The girl's clear voice brought Uncle Wang back to his senses. He put on his reading glasses and took a closer look. "Oh, it's the girl from the Li family. Go inside and get what you want. There's a QR code in the room. Just scan it."
The girl nodded, walked into the house, carefully selected two red-skinned eggs, and the thinnest noodles. She did not take out her mobile phone to scan the code, but took out a handful of coins from her arms, quickly counted out two one-yuan coins, two fifty-cent coins, and five ten-cent coins and handed them to Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang didn't say anything. He knew about the girl from the Li family. She was in her early twenties and had just graduated when her parents were gone. She was very pitiful. When her parents just left, she kept crying and her eyes were almost blinded. Now she seems to be in better spirits. It seems that she has overcome this hurdle.
It happened that Old Qian from upstairs also walked down slowly. The middle-aged man was not tall, his eyebrows were knitted together, as if they could pinch mosquitoes to death, and he smelled of alcohol. He walked down the stairs next to the supermarket with heavy steps and whispered, "Brother Wang, take a pack of cigarettes." Uncle Wang waved his hand, "Take it yourself - I say, Xiaolin's illness hasn't improved yet?"
It would have been better if Uncle Wang hadn't mentioned it. As soon as he mentioned it, Old Qian became even more worried. Thinking of his wife who was crying all the time and his son lying in bed, he cursed angrily: "It's all because of that crappy game. Xiaolin hasn't woken up yet. I don't know what ghosts or monsters are in this game that have taken away my son's soul!" Uncle Wang knew what was going on in their family. He was afraid that he would cause trouble after drinking, so he comforted him and sent him away in a good way.
But the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Hearing the words "ghosts" and "souls", the girl stopped walking away. She stood quietly aside and waited until Lao Qian left before going forward. Watching Lao Qian's swaying back, Li Rushi asked in a low voice, "Boss, what did that man mean just now? His son was possessed by a game?"
Uncle Wang looked at the tender girl in front of him. It was so hot in the summer, but she was dressed warmly. The brim of her sun hat was very large, so he could hardly see her expression. He could only see her calm eyes.
She looks like a good kid, so she shouldn't ask about this! Uncle Wang didn't answer her, but went into the house and took out two loaves of bread and handed them over: "Young kid, don't go astray. That game is a man-eating monster. Don't ask about it. Take these two loaves of bread. If you have any difficulties, tell your uncle. Don't do that stupid thing. It's not worth it to gamble your life for money, right?"
Seeing that Uncle Wang seemed unwilling to mention this matter, Li Rushi did not force him. She put down the two loaves of bread and did not take them. Instead, she thanked Uncle Wang and left.
After many twists and turns, she returned to her home. Li Rushi took out the key and opened the door. Her residence was a two-bedroom, one-living room structure, more than 20 years old. The furniture and decoration were not new, and the area was not large, but Li Rushi lived there at her leisure. People who practice cultivation pay attention to living a simple life, and now is not the time when Tianyi Sect is famous all over the world, so she naturally has to keep a low profile.
That’s right, the current Li Rushi is not a native of this earth. In fact, she comes from an imaginary era, where she is the head of Tianyi Sect, a master of Xuanmen, and a full-level swordsman. Unfortunately, she failed when she was about to break through the last level and ascend. When she woke up, she had become the current Li Rushi.
At the age of 22, he just graduated from college in June. In July, his parents died in a car accident. He did not receive any compensation because the party at fault was already dead. The family savings were spent in just a few days of rescue in the ICU. Now, apart from an old house and his original college diploma, Li Ru has nothing.
But she was not in a hurry. In their line of work, as long as they were capable enough, they would not lack for food. Moreover, opportunities were both far away and right before their eyes.
The water in the pot was boiling. Li Rushi put the noodles in and cooked a soft-boiled egg. She took out a large bowl, put soy sauce, lard, shallots and shrimp in it, and added a spoonful of hot soup from the pot. Instantly, the aroma of the noodle soup swept the kitchen. A bowl of noodles cost less than two yuan, but it was the only nutritious food she could afford. The noodles would take a while to cook, so Li Rushi took out her phone and started searching.
Game, soul-stirring, death, these three keywords were typed in?????, and after pressing the Enter key, the page quickly jumped to a forum. Li Rushi flipped through it roughly, and found that the people in the forum were discussing a game called {Wu Xin Gui Tan}. Most of the people in the forum were parents of children, and there were also people like her who didn't know much about it.
The post has reached the 216th floor.
216L{If you ask me, this game is such a rip-off. What's the point of paying so much money? If you can't pass the level, you'll die in it. It's so hard to get a copy. Isn't that just forcing people to die?}
217L{My cousin from my aunt's family used to be a personal bodyguard, and that was also in the game, but he hasn't come out yet.}
218L{I don't know who the game planner is. Why is it so scary? Doesn't the country care about it?}
219L{The above person is overthinking. If they could control this game, how could it still be so arrogant? I think it is just hanging people with money, waiting for them to enter the cage one by one. It is eating people.}
221L{Does anyone know what to do in real life if you die in the game? My child suddenly can't speak or move. The doctor said he is brain dead. Can anyone save my child?}
233L{221LGive up, Z said it himself, in this game, you either complete all levels and get 1 billion, or die in the game. Dead players are also brain dead in real life. Only when a player completes all levels, all dead players can be resurrected. But now, tsk tsk, there is no hope.}
Suddenly, there were more and more buildings within buildings. Li Rushi only looked at it for a while and then stopped. She had probably understood the content.
This game is called Wuxin Guitan, and it is a horror game. After the player clicks to enter the game, the game will absorb the player's mental power. The player has to pass the levels one by one by brushing copies. The live broadcast can be started at any time during the process.
After the game is completed, the player will receive game rewards and revive all dead players. If the game fails to pass the final level or dies in the middle, the mental power will remain in the game forever and the player will become brain dead in real life.
It sounded strange, but Li Rushi's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Well, to use their modern words, this is really a professional match. If this passes the test successfully, there will be money to establish a sect. Master Li, who loves money, sex and food, was very tempted, and she already had an idea in her mind.
At this time, the noodles were already cooked. Li Rushi calmly turned off the fire, fished out the noodles, and put them into the soup. A bowl of hot noodles was ready. Li Rushi opened a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator. He ate the noodles and drank the iced Coke, feeling refreshed. After finishing the noodles in a few bites and cleaning the kitchen, Li Rushi turned on his phone.
She looked at the {Wuxin Guitan} game that she had just searched for, tapped her fingers, and in less than a few seconds, the game was downloaded and installed.
The game's creator had a unique aesthetic, and the words "Wu Xin Gui Tan" were black and red, looking as thick as blood. Li Rushi clicked the Continue button, and the system automatically jumped to her personal homepage, asking her to fill in her code name, age, and specialty.
She filled in her age as 22, according to the age of her current body, and chose her old name as Xuanzhi. As for her specialties, were Feng Shui fortune telling and catching ghosts and demons considered specialties? Li Rushi thought about it and was afraid that if she wrote it too clearly, she would be treated differently when passing the level, so she only wrote two words.
Watching the game progress bit by bit, it finally prompted: "Once the game starts, you cannot exit. There is no other way to survive except to complete all the levels. Are you sure you want to enter the game?"
Without much hesitation, Li Rushi clicked on the button and immediately felt dizzy.
When I woke up again, I was already in the game.
This feeling was quite amazing. Li Rushi looked around and saw that there was no one around. Directly opposite her was a suspended game panel with her current values written on it.
Codename: Xuanzhi
Gender: Unknown
Age: 22
Specialties: tough life, etc.???
Force value: 30
Charm: 30
Health: 65
Special abilities: None
System Rewards: None
Cleared copies: 0
Game points: 0
Whether to enable live broadcast: Enabled by default (can be turned off through personal homepage--settings--live broadcast settings)
Although he didn't know why his strength and health points were so low, and there were three question marks for his specialty, since it was calculated by the system, there was no problem with other values. Li Rushi clicked the button to confirm the values. The game panel scrolled, and then a line of small words appeared. It was black with red, and the font was the same as the game homepage. It said: Players can choose the copy by themselves, or the system can assign the copy by default. If no choice is made after five seconds, it will be automatically assigned by default.
Li Rushi is not sure about the difficulty of this game yet. Xuanmen disciples count the heavens, the earth, their teachers and their friends, but not themselves. Moreover, most of them are against the way of heaven, and end up being widowed and lonely, so their luck is very bad. So it is better not to choose for yourself, let heaven make the choice. Her current body has not been contaminated by the fortune of heaven, and it is still a very pure yin body, so I think her luck is not bad.
She didn't notice that in the new player's live broadcast room, there were already viewers praising her beauty.
[(⊙o⊙)Wow, what a pretty girl! I bet she will die in the first dungeon! ]
[You look so weak, won't you be a nuisance to others if you enter the dungeon? You can't even pass the first dungeon, right? ]
[If you ask me, women shouldn't enter this game. It's full of special forces soldiers who can't even protect themselves. Entering is just giving away your life! ]
This cannot be blamed on Li Rushi. After all, she has a pure and innocent appearance, sweet eyes and a gentle temperament. She looks like a girl who cannot carry anything on her shoulders or lift anything with her hands.
Li Rushi was not familiar with these devices yet, so naturally she did not see the comments. When the words "Dungeon loading" appeared on the panel, she had been teleported to the dungeon location and started to clear the first dungeon.
What she didn't know was that the moment she entered, the spiritual energy emanated. In the control room of the Wuxin Ghost Story game, a young man frowned slightly.
