The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 30: It turns out they are all acquaintances…
"Hi, hello..."
After the battle, Lin Yiyi saw that Jiu'er seemed to have calmed down, so she walked forward and wanted to say hello to her.
Although at first, Lin Yiyi came with the idea of saving people.
But obviously this girl who is too petite is different from her appearance and does not need Lin Yiyi to come to the rescue.
On the contrary, the freshly hammered man next to her feet looked more in need of a doctor’s rescue...
"...Huh?"
When Jiu'er saw Lin Yiyi, her eyes suddenly widened in surprise: "Sister Hengbang?"
"It's not a horizontal bar, it's one by one..."
Lin Yiyi retorted subconsciously.
But she quickly responded: "Do you know me?"
"I am Jiuniang Yuanzi! We met at the last party!"
Jiuer suddenly became excited.
She seemed to be overly happy to see an acquaintance. As she spoke, she easily raised her sword and made random gestures in the air, scaring Lin Yiyi back again and again.
But when Jiu'er mentioned it, Lin Yiyi had some impressions...
"...Ah, Xiaojiu'er."
She suddenly realized and thought about it.
After all, with Jiu'er's height, it would be difficult for people to forget her.
Different from his own beauty direction, Jiuer basically didn't do anything to beautify himself. I just straightened my face a little and slimmed down my legs a little, so that I didn't look so soft and harmless like a dumpling.
This sixteen-year-old girl, who is only 149cm tall, is a serious high school anchor. But unlike her weak and slender appearance, Jiu'er is neither a dancer nor a singer. She is also an anchor from a gaming area...
But unlike Lin Yiyi, who focuses on single-player games and is good at making strategy videos, the other party is best at competitive games, and he is a complete newcomer. Even in the live broadcast circle, Jiuer is not very popular. Last time she was brought here by her brother, a professional e-sports player, so he can be regarded as a family member...
Jiu'er is most famous for his ability to scream for help when encountering a gank, while quickly showing off his skills to kill the opponent.
In a daze, Lin Yiyi glanced at the meat-stuffing gentleman at Jiu'er's feet, and suddenly became excited.
Original, it turns out that was not the effect of the program...
While the two of them were talking, other players soon gathered around them, and they all greeted Lin Yiyi unexpectedly:
"Sister Ichijo? You are here too..."
"Gangzi, are you here too?"
"I am Yiyi, not a line or a stick..."
Lin Yiyi retorted subconsciously and looked around the crowd.
Then she was extremely surprised to find... almost everyone present was acquaintances!
Those who are not acquaintances are all celebrities!
There are retired e-sports players, well-known entertainment anchors, players with high scores in the national server, and various game video producers.
What everyone has in common is that they all have a considerable fan base... and have good gaming skills. Although there are some food anchors, there are not any pure-bred rookies.
Although the types of games they are good at are almost different.
These people are not stupid either. They glanced around and quickly realized this.
"...We won't be selected by aliens, right?"
Some people did not feel nervous at all and said happily: "Does this mean our technology has been recognized?"
"The chosen child..."
"Can you be considered a child if you are almost thirty?!"
"Why can't it be counted? I am a 'wandering child'!"
The "wandering child" who deliberately adjusted himself to look like an eighteen-year-old said confidently: "I am the chosen child!"
The other party was speechless and choked.
"Let's not talk about this for now," Lin Yiyi quickly interjected, "Has your mission been completed?"
"No. Twenty-three left."
The child glanced at the task list and answered casually.
"Me neither."
"I'm still twenty-three short."
Jiu'er replied obediently, taking two steps away from the corpse without leaving a trace.
"But the question is, where did those twenty-three people go..."
"I think they saw the situation was bad and found a place to hide. It's too dark here and we can't see."
Lin Yiyi frowned and replied: "It's really not possible..."
As she spoke, she suddenly saw the buckets lying scattered.
These should be the "Black Fire" specifically mentioned in the main mission.
Her words stopped abruptly.
Seeing Lin Yiyi looking at these barrels thoughtfully, the others quickly reacted.
...How about blowing up these barrels?
As soon as the fire started, the place became bright immediately.
If someone lies on the ground and hides, you can see them. If they don't get up, the fire will burn them to death if it gets stronger.
It’s also a good time to take a look at the physics engine of this game. Can you do something as free as setting fire to a mountain...
At first Lin Yiyi was a little hesitant.
After all, no one knows how powerful this barrel is or how long the fuse on it can burn.
What if you light the fuse and the barrel explodes before you can throw it out or run away?
But at this moment, Lin Yiyi suddenly caught a glimpse of her task list.
[Special requirement 3 (+40 evaluation): Kill at least three enemies alone (1/3)]
...Tsk, **** it.
Lin Yiyi gritted her teeth.
She is considered a master of play. For this kind of initial task, the higher the score, the better the initial reward, and the smoother the start.
It’s a pity that this game can’t refresh the start. Otherwise, given her character, she would definitely keep reopening until all three special requirements are met before handing in the task.
And she should have been able to fight two enemies alone.
Unfortunately, that person is timid. Seeing that the situation was not good, she turned around and ran away without even fighting... As a result, she had only completed one-third of the task.
The two men didn't even draw their weapons and were completely defenseless. If he had known they were so easy to kill, Lin Yiyi would have run over to the person he killed, slashed his throat, and chased after him. There was no need to charge.
And she still feels a little sore in her legs now...
"Actually, you can give it a try."
A player named "Delicious Wind Goose" said: "I just died once. Because after my character was created, five people surrounded me... After death, after three minutes I Reborn again. Teleported to another place, only then can the game start normally.
"I am two minutes."
"It took me five minutes to resurrect...maybe because my head was chopped off. Will an incomplete body increase the time it takes to resurrect?"
The other players discussed among themselves and quickly made a decision.
After confirming that they can be resurrected, players are no longer so afraid. It’s just that after dying once, the first and second special requirements cannot be completed...
But fortunately, they almost all knew each other, and based on their past friendship and their respective faces, they quickly made arrangements.
If the test goes well, let those players who have died once throw "black fire" and complete the three-kill task.
Strive for a smooth start when everyone has extra points, so that no one will hold everyone back due to a bad initial start. At the same time, several card-playing anchors are also responsible for sorting out the scoring rewards at four levels of 20/40/60/100, and studying how different points levels will affect the rewards.
Annan, who looked at them from a distance from the perspective of the Creator, also seemed to have some stomachache.
"Are these people so professional..."
He originally planned to fool around and get it over with. The rewards are directly based on appearance and hair. Whoever looks good will get more experience and so on. It’s impossible for the players to answer each other’s answers anyway... they don’t have that level of trust, let alone that free time.
Such an awesome fully virtual game is like traveling to a different world - is it really possible to meet serious players? It must be just shouting "fuck that's awesome" and having fun and that's it!
But the facts tell Annan that the players are indeed shouting "fuck that's awesome" and having fun, but this does not affect their seriousness.
And they all seem to know each other. Even though they are not familiar with each other, at least they "roughly know who the other person is."
“The person selected in the preliminary test~IndoMTL.com~ is a bit awesome... Are they all top players in this world?”
Annan feels that her stomach pain is getting more and more serious...
He has to hurry up again and at least make up a set of reward rules...
At first, Annan was still thinking about whether the world opposite to where players were recruited in this game was his original world. But from their mutual conversations, he quickly understood: these people were all big anchors, well-known UPs, and even professional players.
But Annan didn’t know any of them.
This is completely impossible, because he is also a practitioner in the industry. So there is only one possibility...that is, they are not from Annan's world.
"...There won't be players from other worlds in the future, right?"
Such a thought suddenly appeared in Annan's mind for a moment, but he quickly dismissed it.
The problem before him now is how to fool these high-level players.
No, in this case, the forum must be dealt with first... and the forum announcement must be carefully considered.
Annan pulled over the forum administrator's page with a frown on his face and used it as a scratch paper to write various planning drafts on it.
We need to suppress these players a little bit.
Seeing the spell [Frost Nova] that he had just learned, Annan quickly came up with a way:
Just let them use black fire. These players don't know how dangerous Black Fire is, but they still know it.
After they killed those people with black fire, they must have realized that these difficult-to-extinguish flames were too troublesome. They were undoubtedly in trouble.
At this time, you can go over and have a blast! While taking over the main mission, I also went over to teach them a lesson!
Annan cheered up and jumped down from his chair.
Just do it!
