Chapter 95 If You Are a Man, Go to the 100th Floor 1
Through the ability of the [Sixth Sense], Ye Xiaoxuan knew that this game console was the key to clearing the dungeon, so their short-term task became to quickly clear the game.
The dusty Transformers toys in the trophy cabinet still have their 90s price tags, and the reflections of the posters on the glass are just passing shadows.
When the electronic sound effects of this machine sound, a strange resonance will be heard from the rusty ventilation ducts, like a carnival that is twenty years late.
There were four game coins in a small box next to the arcade machine. It seemed that they would have four chances to try.
"Who's first?" Looking at the coins in the game box, Ye Xiaoxuan, who was not good at the game, looked back.
"I'll go first, I'll go first!" Tian Zihan shouted excitedly. After all, she was a child, so it was inevitable that she would be more positive when facing such things.
At this moment, she clenched her fists and walked straight to the old "If You're a Man, Go to the 100th Floor" game console in the corner.
She inserted a coin and started the game. As soon as she entered the game, a message popped up from above:
[According to statistics, the pass rate of this machine is only 0.3%. Are you sure you want to waste your time on it?]
Yes or no, do they still have a choice? Pulling the corner of his mouth, Tian Zihan decisively nodded "yes".
"Don't be nervous," Ye Xiaoxuan patted her shoulder gently as the game was about to start, wanting to relax her. "Just show your true strength."
Tian Zihan had a high ponytail today, which swayed gently as she moved. When the game started, she moved her fingers and held the joystick to encourage herself: "Watch me!"
The game begins.
The little man on the screen began to jump, from one platform to another, gradually climbing upwards.
Tian Zihan's operation was precise and powerful. He dodged all kinds of monsters and made almost no mistakes in the first twenty floors.
However, when you reach the 20th floor, the situation begins to change. The appearance of "teammates" greatly increases the difficulty of the game.
Tian Zihan frowned, staring at the screen intently, her lips pursed into a straight line.
finally……
"It's the thirtieth floor!" Ye Xiaoxuan counted quietly beside her, afraid of disturbing Tian Zihan's rhythm.
However, on the 45th floor, a sudden monster caught Tian Zihan off guard. Her little figure fell from the gap, and the game console made a harsh failure sound.
"Damn it!" Tian Zihan slammed the machine, her cheeks flushed with anger, and then she said with some disappointment: "I'm sorry, I disappointed everyone and wasted the game opportunity."
Zhou Mingyuan just patted her shoulder to comfort her, and analyzed calmly:
"It's okay. Failure is the mother of success. Zi Han's failure also gave us experience. According to my observation, the platform actually has rules to follow, but the speed is fast and needs to be predicted."
"Then next one, Old Zhou, you try it!" Seeing Zhou Mingyuan so confident, Ye Xiaoxuan said simply, and at the same time Tian Zihan also gave up her seat.
"Okay! Then I'll show you my hand speed after being single for forty years!" Standing in front of the machine, Zhou Mingyuan's gaming style was completely different from Tian Zihan's - cautious and precise, with every jump calculated. He successfully passed the level where Tian Zihan failed and climbed steadily upwards.
One floor, two floors, three floors...
Then on the fifth floor, out!
Zhou Mingyuan: ...
Ye Xiaoxuan: ...
Tian Zihan: ...
Is this the speed of your hands when you've been single for forty years?
Zhou Mingyuan: Hehe, mistake, mistake.
Then what comes next…
"Xiaoye, come and try it."
Ye Xiaoxuan: "Ah? Why me?"
"Because... if you're a man, you have to go to the 100th floor?" Zhou Mingyuan asked.
Ye Xiaoxuan: "I am a woman."
…
Oh, what a cold joke.
So Zhou Mingyuan could only say: "Xiao Ye, you try it. What if this game is easier to pass for people who are not very good at playing games?"
Ye Xiaoxuan: That is indeed a possibility. After all, the situation in the copy cannot be speculated by common sense.
So, Ye Xiaoxuan started trying.
"The sixth floor!" Tian Zihan cheered excitedly, while Zhou Mingyuan next to her looked embarrassed.
On the twenty-eighth floor, however, she ran into trouble. A series of fast-moving platforms required instant reflexes and a sense of adventure, which he lacked.
In this case, hesitating for a second will lead to the end of the game.
One time the game coins were consumed.
"What a pity," Zhou Mingyuan took a step back, his face still calm, "In theory, if we can accurately calculate the speed and trajectory of each platform, it should be possible to pass."
Ye Xiaoxuan: It’s you, right?
"So...who's coming for the last time?"
As soon as Ye Xiaoxuan said this, the scene fell into silence. After all, it was the last chance and the pressure was extremely high. No one wanted it to be wasted again.
"Or let Zi Han come, after all, he climbed the highest before."
"Ah?" Tian Zihan waved his hands anxiously when he heard this: "But I've only climbed to the 40th floor, and the highest floor of this game is 100."
Ye Xiaoxuan: "There's nothing I can do. It's better than us."
Everyone: That’s true.
Just when Tian Zihan was ready to face death and start the challenge again, a voice came from Ye Xiaoxuan.
"Hey, you guys, did you forget something?"
The person who came was none other than Ye Xiaocao.
At this moment, it was flying out of Ye Xiaoxuan's body and flew over the game hall: "Let me have a try!"
Seeing his unreliable look, Tian Zihan asked uncertainly.
"Do you really want him to try?" After all, this is the last chance!
Zhou Mingyuan also had a solemn expression on his face, stroking his chin.
At this moment, facing this situation, Ye Xiaoxuanzi finally made a decision: "Okay, let's give it a try! Anyway, we don't have any better way now."
The last coin was put into the arcade machine. In the game hall, the air was filled with tension. Everyone held their breath and watched the little man on the screen approach the legendary 100th floor.
Different from others, Ye Xiaocao's playing style is full of improvisation and creativity.
He seems to be able to predict the direction in which the platform will move, often making unexpected jumps.
Ye Xiaocao's rabbit claw fingers danced nimbly on the buttons, and the little man climbed all the way to the ninetieth floor.
"Ninety-five! Ninety-six! Ninety-seven!" The onlookers began to count in a low voice.
The little man's body was getting closer and closer to the top floor, but at the 98th floor, a monster appeared and Ye Xiaocao's claws suddenly trembled.
Its body began to tremble, its breathing became rapid, a simple leap went wrong, and the little man fell.
"Ah!" Ye Xiaocao screamed in frustration and squatted down with her hands on her head, "Just a little bit more!"
Faced with this situation, the others looked solemn. All four chances had been used up. Could it be that the copy had really failed?
I thought the copy would collapse, but it didn't.
A flash of light caught Tian Zihan's attention: "What is that?"
Ye Xiaoxuan also noticed the thing, picked it up carefully, and found that it was another game coin.
Surprise spread among the few people, and there is one last chance!
So just like that, as the player who went the furthest among the four contestants, Ye Xiaocao was successfully assigned.
With the experience gained from previous times, Ye Xiaocao's gaming progress was obviously much smoother this time. Even when the game reached a high level, he still maintained a relaxed state.
The ninety-fifth floor, the ninety-eighth floor... We’re here, at the place where we failed before.
Ye Xiaocao held the mouse, his attention focused as never before.
Finally...he had escaped the previous attack.
"Ninety-nine! One hundred!"
The game console burst into unprecedented celebratory sound effects and lights, and the words "Congratulations on completing the game!" on the screen made Zhou Mingyuan smile bitterly, thinking that he was not as good as a rabbit. Ye Xiaocao was also very excited.
Yes! He said that no matter how difficult a game is, it exists to be conquered. I passed it after just two attempts. I am indeed a genius.
The lights in the game room were still flickering, but at this moment, for these four young people, reality seemed more exciting than any game.
After successfully passing the level, everyone began to wait for the next change in the copy.
As a result, nothing happened in the first minute.
The next minute, nothing happened.
In the third minute, nothing happened.
Just when Ye Xiaoxuan was about to think that there was something wrong with her supernatural power, a window popped up on the screen.
[Hello, I am the creator of the game "If You Are a Man, Go to the 100th Floor". The person who claimed to be the creator of the game thanked them right away.]
Is it a copy change? Ye Xiaoxuan and the others are ready.
However, what he did next left Ye Xiaoxuan and the others a little confused.
Because after that, there was no other change on the arcade screen.
Words were typed out slowly, one after another.
[That's great! Fortunately, there is still hope for us. This is so rare, and now that you have proven your qualifications and abilities, please come here and save our world!]
Although the speaking style was completely different, Ye Xiaoxuan subconsciously felt that this was the person who had given them the "invitation letter" before.
However, before she could think about it, a strong feeling of dizziness came over him and darkness enveloped them.
