Chapter 235: #235 - Bankruptcy Live

Qi Huahua, disregarding the VR headset that had fallen to the ground, clutched her chest and gasped for breath.

She was still shaken by the scene she had just witnessed.

After taking several deep breaths, she finally managed to calm her racing heart.

Only then did she remember to worry about the VR glasses she had thrown off, and she hurriedly untied her safety rope, ran over to pick them up, and checked if they were damaged.

Luckily, she often sat cross-legged on the floor to play games using haptic gloves, so she had laid down a very thick carpet.

The VR glasses didn't appear to be damaged, not even a scratch.

Qi Huahua breathed a small sigh of relief and put them back on.

As she returned to the game, she also saw the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room again.

In the barrage, the viewers were almost as frightened as she was!

At first, when they saw Qi Huahua being scared, everyone was happy to see it and laughed heartily.

The NPC's limbs bending and blood spurting looked scary, but everyone was separated by a screen, and the visual impact wasn't as strong as it was for Qi Huahua.

Especially when Qi Huahua screamed, it instantly diluted the terrifying atmosphere.

The live broadcast room was full of teasing voices.

Until the NPC stiffly and distortedly walked over and swung the baseball bat down!

The screen spun wildly!

There were also the sounds of thumping impacts and Qi Huahua's screams.

Then the screen went black.

This blow not only blacked out the live broadcast room but also stunned the viewers.

They couldn't figure out what had happened and could only frantically send comments:

"What's going on?? Did the NPC knock her offline with one hit?"

"Could the game have crashed? Did she encounter a bug at the beginning?"

"Then why did Qi Huahua scream? Did the bat hit her haptic suit?"

"It clearly hit the VR glasses!"

"Her heart rate instantly soared to 140! Scary!"

"Is it that advanced? Can NPCs attack reality now?"

… …

"I'm back!" Qi Huahua quickly explained, "I didn't get disconnected, and the game didn't crash."

"It's just that I shook my head too much and knocked the VR glasses off."

"But you can't blame me for this, it's all Lingzhou Studio's fault!"

"Pulling off this kind of surprise attack! With no psychological preparation at all!"

After Qi Huahua spoke again, the viewers finally relaxed, and the topic quickly became lighter again:

"What a first blood!"

"So this is the real beginning, right? Before was just to make you lower your guard."

"A master at playing with people's hearts!"

A visual effect of slowly opening eyes, and the screen lit up again.

Qi Huahua also saw clearly the predicament she was facing—

She was tied up in an airtight room that looked like a basement.

Her hands were also locked with a pair of shackles.

"I won't turn on live broadcast mode for now, I'll watch the original game first, and I'll turn it on when the super administrator warns me."

Although Qi Huahua was quite frightened, she didn't hold grudges and still remembered to promote the game for Lingzhou Studio.

The viewers complained that she was stubborn.

Qi Huahua argued, "I'm not stubborn!"

"I just wasn't prepared before! Now I'm prepared, I won't be scared again."

"If you don't believe me, we can make a bet—if my heart rate exceeds 110, I'll directly send everyone a 100 yuan red envelope! I'll send one every time it exceeds!"

The barrage instantly turned into a uniform "Okay, okay, okay!"

"So, what do I need to do next…" Qi Huahua looked at the system prompt, "Dislocate my thumb to break free from the shackles?"

"? ? ?"

Qi Huahua was stunned.

The outrageous thing was that the game actually had a tutorial, teaching players how to voluntarily dislocate their joints and break free from handcuffs when restrained, and then reset the dislocated thumb themselves.

Players certainly don't need to actually dislocate themselves in reality.

As long as they perform a few hand movements, the character in the game will automatically complete this step.

But Qi Huahua still felt that it was a bit outrageous for the production team to teach this in the game.

What's even more outrageous is that the next task is to pick the lock—

Find usable tools, pick the lock, and escape the basement.

Searching for clues, interacting with items, using tools… etc., beginner tutorials, were naturally effortless for Qi Huahua, a veteran.

It's just that when she was playing the lock-picking mini-game with a thin wire, the character's dislocated hand trembled a bit, causing her to fail twice in a row.

It wasn't until the third time that a successful click sounded.

The main quest popped up at the same time—

[Escape the castle!]

"Phew, finally succeeded!" Qi Huahua breathed a sigh of relief and pulled open the iron door of the basement.

A hideous face covered in blood suddenly appeared in front of her!

"F*ck! C…"

Qi Huahua's heart instantly jumped to her throat, and she stumbled back three steps.

The real-time heart rate detected by the haptic sync suit instantly soared to 136!

With a "thump" sound.

This boyfriend, covered in blood and horribly dead, fell headfirst and slammed heavily on the floor.

Qi Huahua retreated again.

Until the male corpse lay there motionless for a long time, Qi Huahua finally released her tightly clenched fists.

"Are you sick in the head!!!!!" Qi Huahua was furious.

Unwilling, she stepped forward and kicked the fallen NPC with courage, wanting to confirm whether this cheap boyfriend was completely dead.

As a result, with this kick, the cheap boyfriend actually trembled and moved again!

Qi Huahua's just calmed heartbeat soared again!

In one breath, she retreated to the wall, her back pressed tightly against it, finally gaining a little sense of security.

Right before her eyes, her cheap boyfriend, who looked every bit like a corpse, slowly crawled up from the ground in a bizarre motion.

Looking at the basement exit right next to her cheap boyfriend, Qi Huahua's adrenaline surged.

Finally, before he could completely stand up, she screamed to embolden herself and charged towards the open doorway.

As she ran past her boyfriend, her ankle suddenly tightened, as if someone had grabbed it!

"Ah!" Qi Huahua was already screaming, and stimulated by this, her voice suddenly rose by 30 decibels.

Her heart rate broke 140 again!

In her agitation, courage was born of desperation, and she kicked out fiercely!

The NPC's head suffered a heavy blow, and he released his hand, but quickly twisted his body back and continued to grab at Qi Huahua.

After running out of the basement, Qi Huahua didn't hesitate for even a second, and ran for her life!

The NPC also stood up, dragging his body as he chased relentlessly behind her.

The tense and exciting drumbeats grew louder and louder!

After leaving the basement, Qi Huahua didn't recognize the way, and could only blindly rush through the dim castle corridors, running wherever she could, with no courage to look back.

With great difficulty, she discovered an open door, and without thinking, she rushed in, slammed the door shut, and huddled behind it, her heart trembling with fear.

The dragging footsteps came closer and closer, but suddenly disappeared just as they got closest.

The newest novels are first published on !

It was as if—

He had stopped at the door!

Qi Huahua held her breath nervously.

But the sound of breathing next to her ear became more and more obvious!

Qi Huahua was going crazy and complained in a very low voice: "This game isn't rigorous enough!"

"I'm clearly not breathing!"

She was just complaining to her viewers.

But suddenly, her shoulder felt heavy.

A cold body pressed against her back, and pale, slender arms reached around from behind, embracing her neck.

A woman's voice sounded in her ear: "Darren, you've finally come to see me?"

Qi Huahua instantly stiffened all over.

She wanted to turn her head to see who was leaning on her back, but she didn't dare.

On one side of the door was a resurrected killer.

Behind her was a female ghost whose appearance she didn't know.

Qi Huahua wanted to cry but had no tears, and trembled so hard that her lips and arms were shaking non-stop.

She summoned all her courage and said: "Madam, you've mistaken me…"

"I came to the wrong room, please let me go."

Her voice was filled with obvious sobbing.

The viewers laughed non-stop, and a row after row of 'hahaha' filled the screen.

Hearing Qi Huahua's voice, the female ghost behind her suddenly had a drastic change in attitude—

"You're not him?"

"You're not him!"

"Who are you!"

"Who are you!!"

The previously gentle voice rapidly became manic and agitated.

Qi Huahua felt a stinging pain in her shoulder, realized she was being attacked, and wanted to fight back, but swung her hand in empty air.

She turned around and finally saw who was attacking her—

It was a woman wearing a silk nightgown, but the nightgown was ignited by flames.

Judging by her figure and appearance, she should still be a great beauty, but at this moment, her expression was manic and her face was distorted, a complete evil ghost.

She grabbed Qi Huahua's neck with both hands, her nails growing rapidly and piercing into her arteries…

Fresh blood quickly spurted out!

After a brief black screen loaded, Qi Huahua once again stood at the entrance of the basement.

She looked at the doorknob, didn't open the door, but took a few steps back and sat down on the ground.

"I need to calm down first…" she explained to her viewers.

The viewers were very understanding:

"Hahaha! You really need to calm down!"

"Heart rate exceeds 110, send a red envelope every time it exceeds, is there a cooldown time for this rule?"

"So cunning! Even the lottery needs a public CD?!"

"There's no way around it, Huahua's heart rate hasn't dropped below 110 this whole time!"

"Dying of laughter, you'll probably go bankrupt after streaming this game!"

"Working on loan! So dedicated!"

"Let Lingzhou Studio reimburse you."

Qi Huahua calmed down for a long time before pleadingly saying: "Is a 1-minute CD okay? Otherwise, I'm really going to eat dirt…"

The viewers were magnanimous—mainly because no detailed rules had been set before.

So Qi Huahua sent out 400 yuan in red envelopes.

After sending them, Qi Huahua learned a lesson: "Adjust the rules a bit!"

"Send a red envelope when the heart rate exceeds 120! Still send one every time it exceeds, 1-minute CD!"

She regrouped, held the doorknob, and built up her courage for a full three minutes before pulling the door open and continuing her journey!

She dodged the fallen boyfriend sideways, and ran out the door, avoiding touching his troublesome corpse.

After quickly scanning the environment, she changed direction and explored elsewhere.

Eight minutes later, she was once again panting heavily, standing at the entrance of the basement.

—She was stabbed through the chest by a man with rough stitches all over his face!

Another 500 yuan in red envelopes sent out…

Qi Huahua was heartbroken.

"Change it, change it! Send a red envelope when the heart rate exceeds 130!"

Twenty minutes later, Qi Huahua died tragically again.

This time she had already seen the gate of the castle, but was burned to death by a bastard child!

This time it was 700 yuan in red envelopes.

Qi Huahua was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe—

"I only spent 148 yuan to buy this game!"

"Now I've played for less than 1 hour and spent 1600 yuan! ! !"

"How long does it take to beat this game? ?"

"Am I really going to go bankrupt! !"
