watch!
It's a watch, and all players have a watch on them. Although some players didn't wear watches at the beginning, after a few days of experience, they all consciously pulled out their watches.
Facts have proved that players with watches are indeed much more convenient. And sometimes, the watch can also help the player escape. For example, in the swimming pool yesterday, if there was no watch, Ye Xu might have fallen.
Now he doesn't care so much, even though he knows that without the help of the watch, it may be difficult for him to move forward, but Ye Xu still took off the watch without saying a word. Just running across a long table, he put the watch on the table, maybe he can come over and get the watch back after the experience is over.
Then, he threw off the NPC who was chasing him, and quickly plunged into the crowd, intending to start acting as an ordinary NPC.
After relaxing, Ye Xu looked around to check the situation. He wasn't sure if those ghost NPCs could remember his face, so he still had to be more vigilant. If the NPC who had just chased him appeared nearby, he had better leave quietly.
At this moment, he saw the pair of senior men before, and moved towards the gate again.
They are more experienced than Ye Xu, and they have already taken off their watches. They were very bold, and they carefully avoided those ghost NPCs directly, and wanted to go out through the door. Unlike Ye Xu, who only dared to hide in the crowd and didn't dare to go to conspicuous places.
Ye Xu looked at them from a distance, and felt sweating for them.
The door was locked, and there was no way out. Their operation itself is dangerous, and they are doomed to gain nothing. If they are accidentally discovered, it will be miserable.
"I found you." Just as Ye Xu was paying close attention to the other side, a pair of hands stretched out from behind and pressed on his shoulders.
Ye Xu's eyes widened suddenly, and he turned around to meet a weird smiling face.
It was an NPC he had never seen before!
Oops, found out.
Ye Xu immediately understood that the NPC did not use the watch to locate the player at all, it was something else. But he couldn't think of what it would be for a while, so he could only struggle subconsciously.
No matter what, he must find a way to break free now, otherwise it will be all over.
But the NPC's hands were so strong that Ye Xu couldn't break free no matter how hard he struggled. Within a few seconds, another NPC came out from the crowd, helped to hold Ye Xu down, and took out a dagger.
Ye Xu stared wide-eyed, unable to avoid it.
In the end, he fell powerlessly to the ground, and what he saw in his eyes was that the team of seniors opened the gate, walked out, and successfully escaped from this dangerous place.
— After the tour guide threw out the player without a partner, the door was not locked at all when closing the door for the second time!
It's a pity that Ye Xu has no chance to repent, the noise in his ears and the pain in his chest disappeared at the same time, he slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the consciousness to dissipate.
ten minutes later.
Ye Xu wondered, why is he still conscious? It can't be revived again, can it? Are escape games so generous now
He waited for another two minutes to make sure that he was indeed still conscious, and opened his eyes hesitantly. What he saw was not the gorgeous chandelier in the banquet hall, but the white ceiling lamp and the painted top of the wall.
Ye Xu got up all at once, and all he could see were familiar interior decorations. Although he didn't live here for long, he chose to match the home decoration of this place by himself.
Here is his private lounge in the main god space.
Every time he survives in the world until the end of the game, he will be teleported back here. This is a room closed on all sides without doors and windows, and there is only one room, less than 30 square meters, but it is enough for one person to live in.
Ye Xu looked around in bewilderment, he was obviously dead, he hadn't cleared the game at all, why was he sent back? Shouldn't death be obliterated
The last time he was not wiped out, but was directly resurrected in the cruise ship world, which already surprised him very much. But this time he "resurrected" again, Ye Xu thought, he couldn't be a bug in the game, could he
Ye Xu panicked a little.
If it's a serious player, then it's fine. But once it becomes a bug in the game, it is estimated that the end will be even worse after being discovered.
Fortunately, he didn't panic for too long, a virtual screen appeared in front of Ye Xu.
As in the past after returning from the game world, there is a line of big words on the screen: "Welcome back to the Lord God Space!" Then, the screen should jump to the main interface, with two buttons. One is to view the game clearance rules, and the other is the points mall.
After opening the customs clearance rules, there is only one sentence: After going through ten worlds, you can completely clear the customs and be resurrected in reality. And there are many things in the points mall, and a message will pop up first to tell you how many points rewards you got in the last game. Then you can choose the category in the mall, find the items you need and redeem them with points.
This time, the interface that appeared in front of Ye Xu was completely different from before.
It is no longer the lowest version of the interface in the early 21st century that is monotonous, but a new and exquisite style interface in 2018. There are beautiful typesetting, coloring and picture matching, a variety of operation buttons and function options, and a thoughtful "beginner's guide" tutorial, which teaches Ye Xu how to use this system step by step.
Ye Xu was completely dumbfounded.
What is this stuff…
After following the novice tutorial to understand all the functions of the entire system, Ye Xu dazedly opened the message button that was always showing red ③ bubbles. There are three unread messages in the message area. Obsessive-compulsive disorder makes Ye Xu feel uncomfortable, so he must delete them.
After clicking, he opened the bottom messages in order.
[Dear Awakened, hello, welcome to use the Awakened Exclusive Portable System! →Please click here← to learn about the awakened ones, so that you can better complete the task in the future, thank you for your cooperation!]
Awakened? It sounds like a small private private organization that is against the main god, secretly doing things secretly, trying to overthrow the main god in search of freedom and relief.
Ye Xu clicked on the link with a skeptical attitude, and he was not optimistic about this small organization at all. But soon, he found that he wanted to go wrong.
The so-called Awakened is not a shameful existence at all, but a classification and positioning of a certain part of players by the game official.
Awakened: Players who have successfully passed the game once in the escape game and experienced two deaths afterwards meet the awakening conditions and can become awakened. Awakened people need to go to various worlds to play ghost NPCs and complete the tasks issued by the main god.
Play, play, ghost, monster, class, NPC!
What does this mean? This shows that the ghosts that Ye Xu encountered in the game before are probably all played by awakened people, and they are not serious ghosts at all!
Ye Xu was about to explode, and this news made him unable to calm down at all.
It's like living alone in a haunted house, being frightened and chased by ghosts every day. As a result, one day, the ghost suddenly stopped chasing and killing you, and said to you: "I'm sorry, big brother, I'm not a ghost, I'm a man pretending to be a ghost. Now we have decided not to scare you, you come to mess with me, we Let's scare others together!"
Would normal people be ecstatic to accept it? Certainly not, anyway, Ye Xu has only one idea now - to kill the group of awakened ones who frightened him and killed him twice.
Ye Xu felt that he was an idiot before, being played around by games and awakened people. Worrying about this and that all day long is completely false.
If he knew this earlier, why did he bother to pass the level? He just sits and waits to die, anyway, he can be resurrected infinitely, and he can also become an awakened one.
"It's not." A voice suddenly sounded in his ear, almost startling Ye Xu again.
But this time, no one was pretending to be a ghost, and a dialog box with voice enabled popped up on the system interface. Obviously, the voice came from the other end.
"Cough, I'm sorry, I accidentally overheard your swearing just now. I initiated a voice call with you two minutes ago, but you have not agreed, and the system automatically connected. Now let me introduce myself, I am an awakened person. Your senior just accepted the task of instructing novices, and came to explain some rules related to the awakened to you, so that you don’t understand the rules just by reading the text.”
Ye Xu calmed down slowly. Opposite him was a girl with a nice voice. As a big man, he couldn't lose his temper at a girl who was likely to have no grievances with him. So Ye Xu tried his best to soften his tone and greeted the other party.
The girl paused and said, "Then I'll start working? Let me explain the basic rules first. If you don't understand anything, you can ask questions after I finish. First of all, not all players will become awakened and must pass the level. One game, otherwise, the memory of the failed world will be erased continuously, and the next world will be put into the next world, and the trial will be carried out again until after a level is cleared."
Therefore, players who die as soon as they come up will not be resurrected until they die, otherwise it would be too unfair. They have to clear the game at least once to have the right to resurrect with their memories.
After clearing the level once, the next accidental death will bring memory back to life. And when you accidentally die for the second time, you can become an awakened person and participate in the activities of playing NPC.
Because if they are resurrected as players in the game for the second time, all fools will know that the death of the game is not a big deal. At that time, the news will definitely not be concealed, and all players will know the truth and be passive and sabotage.
The daily task of the Awakened is to act as an NPC. They need to intimidate the player as much as possible, or stimulate the player to make the player have strong emotions. For example, fear, anger, etc., because when the player's emotions are intense, a lot of energy will be generated.
The game needs to absorb these energies in order to keep running, and provide those good things in the points mall, and even help players revive. If the game is shut down without energy, all players will die completely, and they will no longer be able to maintain the current "half-dead" state, let alone wait for the opportunity to be resurrected.
After hearing this, the anger in Ye Xu's heart faded.
If you want to be resurrected, you have to pay. The struggle of the players in the escape game is not considered a payment at all. This is not an equivalent transaction, but a cruel selection, which is very unfair.
Because, on the face of it, they don't do the game any favors at all, but the game promises to bring them back to life.
Can you say that their contribution is to entertain ghosts and serve ghosts as Chinese food? The latter is not a living veteran, but a dead player. But it is the veterans who are resurrected, not those who paid the price.
So the truth that is known now is more acceptable. If the previous fear and anger were the price the player had to pay for resurrection, Ye Xu could accept it.
Compared to the resurrection, he felt that this little trick was not worth mentioning. Moreover, he thought he had earned it.
What he paid was what he could easily do, but resurrection was a miracle that was almost impossible for him.
