Chapter 014 Anchor Simulator
After hearing Ji Xu's words, everyone remained silent. Before the host showed his overwhelming strength, no one would change their minds because of a few words. They thought they could fight off a few moves from him.
...at least be able to escape alive?
In fact, the lateness of the season sequence has nothing to do with the contestants.
Before this, he ignored the clothes sent by the simulator for a whole week, and the reason he finally gave in was not because the contestants felt more at home with the pretentious host suits than ordinary people's sweatshirts and pants, but because Ji Xu realized that this piece of fabric was bulletproof, fireproof and quick-drying.
At that time, Ji Xu was running around in the forest late at night. In order to avoid scaring innocent passers-by, he set his eyes on the appearance given by the game - all black, perfectly blending into the night, so cool - and started working as a planner and repairman, going out early and coming back late.
Then.
In pursuit of experimental effect, he burned the grass near where he was standing.
When he discovered the first advantage of the clothes, the rest followed. Ji Xu quickly unlocked its bulletproof and quick-drying properties, but it has multiple uses. He is used to using it as a drain rag for cacti. When he took it out, he found that there was a circle of dried water marks on the corners.
The tree hole moved a little and said carefully: "Would you like to go wash up?"
"No need." Ji Xu put on the mask decisively, but found that his voice suddenly became unclear. "Huh? This thing is soundproof?"
He took it off in surprise, fumbled around the area near his mouth, and touched a membrane button that was almost integrated with the mask material.
Ji Xu pressed the button, and the computer started to work automatically, connecting to the data. When he spoke again, the sound of the tablet became mechanical, and a black shadow made of data stream appeared on the blank screen.
Ji Xu: “Voice changer?”
The shadow delayed for a few seconds and then mechanically repeated: "Voice changer?"
I understand, Ji Xu suddenly realized, this is a magical little prop used for live broadcasts to the whole world.
Voice changer with microphone.
Isn't this the mysterious mastermind behind all the creative works?
As the saying goes, it doesn't matter if the clothes are ugly, as long as they are useful. When Ji Xu tied the buckle, he thought that he had become the most mentally ill person.
This little episode delayed Ji Xu's pace, and he was a few minutes late. Seeing the contestants arguing, Ji Xu simply slowed down and turned on the live broadcast to see how much useful information they could get from the argument... The plan failed, and the two sworn enemies were so close that they almost pulled each other's hair but refused to reveal any information about themselves.
He had to come forward.
Ji Xu's question to the contestant was met with silence, but the video's play rate kept climbing.
He didn't pay much attention to it. When exciting things that shouldn't exist in a peaceful society appeared in the game, they could quickly ignite the Internet like wildfire even without publicity. Therefore, his focus has always been on the players.
It was Cactus who rolled to the screen with difficulty and reminded him: "Someone asked if you were filming a web drama. You looked like a villain in a movie when you appeared."
Ji Xu: "Whose villain speaks and no one responds."
Shudong retorted: "You didn't turn on the voice changer! The audience can't hear you, they can only see your actions."
It was right. In the eyes of the audience, the lively atmosphere turned into a vacuum environment as soon as the host appeared on the stage. Under the camera's unobstructed recording, the contestants' slight resistance was revealed vividly, which became another kind of silent fear that highlighted the host's mysteriousness.
The problem is that Ji Xu doesn't know what he looks like in the video.
So he did what he was supposed to do, like grabbing the wrist of the closest person, catching the oncoming fist when the other person counterattacked, sliding down to cut off half of his pants and the storage bag inside, and then politely sheathing the bayonet and taking a step back, "Your props will ruin the game experience."
The contestant named Sniper also stepped back, touching his wrist. His expression was between shock and fear, and his eyes expressed his confusion, asking, "How did the host know that?"
Ji Xu turned his attention to the other four people.
The next second, everyone present untied the hidden pockets on their waists and arms, showing their adaptability.
Several heavy packages of dangerous parts fell to the ground, and the scope fell out, bounced a few times and landed at the feet of the red-haired young man abc, who quietly kicked it away. The young man stole a glance at the expression under the mask of Jixu, trying to judge the host's emotional attitude - why can't he see anything!
Ji Xu has no attitude.
He was even reviewing his new skills, trying to recognize the range and bullet capacity of a gun the next time he came across it.
Shudong couldn't help but sigh: "Are they going to go in and party?"
"Who knows, but I guess if I don't suppress them, the source of the carnival will turn to me," Ji Xu asked in his heart, "Have you been talking more recently?"
Tree Hole: "Because you always ignore the people around you."
This implicit complaint was followed by an explanation that only made it more obvious, "Of course, the employer has the right to interpret everything. Let's change the subject. Now there are people online discussing whether the parts are real or fake, which has attracted more viewers."
With it by my side, I can patrol and commentate with determination, and Ji Xu can face the surprises brought by the contestants without worry.
The first thing he said when he came back to his senses was: "There's more."
what else?
As the others stared blankly, Ji Xu stepped on the edge of the scope on the grass to make it stand up, and then hooked his foot and kicked a contestant dressed in the financial industry, whose actual registered nickname was 123, hitting him near the ribs, "Take out your medicine, too."
The person's body was stiff, and he awkwardly pulled out the folded bandage and hemostatic powder.
He raised his hands and said in a tone as gentle as possible: "Host, please understand, there will be no more this time."
Ji Xu retracted his gaze and pressed the button under the mask. "Director Bai, that's my name," he said in a stiff, mechanical voice, "and I'm also the host of this show."
He walked to a tree and said, "Since you have wasted so much time," mainly because he wanted to wait for the group of people to fight but failed, "Let me simplify the process."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xu suddenly grabbed the vines clinging to the tree trunk and pulled hard. Something heavy fell to the ground with a loud bang. At the same time, the sound of tires came from deep in the forest. Five cars came closer and closer, and finally surrounded all the contestants.
"Now draw the lottery, put on the headset, and then the driverless car will take you to the starting point. There is an initial map on the passenger seat."
Everyone realized later that the vine was some kind of nylon rope dyed camouflage green.
Ji Xu waited until they received the message before turning around and walking to the briefcase. Before he could do anything himself, someone stepped forward and slid open the lock. Anonymous turned sideways, revealing a foldable high-tech computer and five headsets. She put them on first, and she was so knowledgeable that she seemed like a paid helper.
Ji Xu was also stopped in his tracks. He paused for a few seconds before making a gesture of invitation: "Please decide the order of the draw."
The anonymous person who was closest to the scene was the first to be drawn. No one knew whose message she got. She had a complicated expression on her face. After reading it, she took the headset, got in the car and left.
The red-haired young man abc stepped forward next, wearing a headset and saying, "Since it's a random draw, isn't it possible that we get drawn?"
"You always need luck to survive." Ji Xu answered the question irrelevantly.
"Okay, okay," he muttered, "I hope I can draw someone annoying." He glared at a well-dressed contestant and suddenly thought of something, "If I get a question card in the trap, can I describe someone's appearance to you and get his name, and then use the name to ask for information about him?"
Ji Xu: "...as long as you have two question cards."
He didn't say that you two are of the same ilk and that your names are in the same format, so there's no need for nesting dolls.
After getting the answer, abc got into the car thoughtfully. He paid no attention to anyone except his mortal enemy.
The remaining few people looked at each other. 123 stepped back to express his attitude. Ren Xi and the sniper took the car and left. The remaining 123 glanced at the screen and asked incredulously with the headset: "Director Bai, how did you find out that I hid the bandage?"
Ji Xu glanced at him and said, "Wait until you figure out how I used the drone to find you wandering around the power grid."
Contestant 123 was hesitant to speak, then got into the car and left with a lot on his mind.
