After some thought, Qihua Hua shamefully announced the end of the challenge.
— Changed to sending red envelopes every half hour without any conditions.
This was to avoid the miserable situation of being hurt both psychologically and financially at the same time.
But it only reduced the extent of the financial damage; the psychological damage was not reduced at all!
Not only was it not reduced, but it intensified!
The game title "Damn! I'm Surrounded by Evil Ghosts" is humorous, but the game content is very serious.
The development team is mature beyond what one would expect from a new team.
The entire castle is exquisitely made, with various retro-style furniture, carpets, murals, armor, window decorations… all meticulously crafted and researched.
It is also well integrated with some modern modifications, looking very coordinated.
So much so that when the ghosts appear, they blend well with the surrounding environment, without any sense of separation.
Coupled with the development team's carefully tuned lighting and shadows, the ghosts' costumes and images, and the well-placed sound effects, it successfully creates a unique atmosphere that blends elegance, eeriness, retro style, and horror.
It is this unique temperament that seduces her.
It makes her want to keep playing, even if she is trembling with fear.
In addition, the story of the game itself is also attracting her—
As she expands her exploration of the castle, she not only lights up more maps and sees more evil ghosts but also obtains a lot of information.
One of the most crucial discoveries is that these evil ghosts do not come from the same era.
The female ghost who attacked from behind, the male ghost with stitches on his face, and the little ghost who sets fires everywhere are likely a family!
And those others—
The ghostly armor, the loathsome butcher, the human-faced spider, the crying clown, the plague gardener, the clockwork singer…
And so on, and so on, all kinds of bizarre evil ghosts, clearly come from a more distant past.
They seem to be related to the original owner of the castle.
Qihua Hua gets quite frightened every time she encounters these irresistible evil ghosts.
But these evil ghosts often provide some information about the castle—maybe it's their identity, maybe it's the lines they say, or maybe there are important clues hidden in the area where they are active.
This leads Qihua Hua to be filled with curiosity about the secrets hidden behind the castle every time she recovers.
She can't help but muster her courage again and again to run over and court death.
Even if she screams every time, she enjoys it.
The viewers quickly found a suitable evaluation for her behavior—
"So, Huahua, you're an M!"
… …
… …
Qihua Hua's virtual idol persona is a seductive loli cat girl, and she's not very brave.
Her personality is indeed on the softer side.
But her figure is that of a sporty older sister who frequents the gym.
People who maintain a sports habit all year round tend to have a more stable core, and their ability to withstand stress is stronger than those who do not exercise.
Thanks to this, although Qihua Hua's heart rate soared and she screamed miserably.
She still has plenty of mental and physical strength to continue the challenge.
But other pure soft girls are very different—
Pink Peach watched her cheap boyfriend being tortured to within an inch of his life and spurting blood in front of her, and her legs went weak and she sat down on the ground.
After being knocked to death with a stick, she was stunned in the basement for a while before she came back to her senses.
She braced herself to finish the newbie tutorial, and when she opened the basement door, she was hit by her "boyfriend" covered in blood.
She burst into tears on the spot.
Almost uncontrollably, she took off the VR glasses and threw them far away, sitting on the omnidirectional treadmill and crying with her head in her hands.
A bunch of viewers in the live broadcast room were watching the excitement, still gloating and laughing non-stop.
Seeing Pink Peach crying with pear blossoms in the rain, unable to stop, they looked at each other, and soon they couldn't laugh anymore.
Instead, it turned into a group of people comforting the streamer online.
All kinds of gifts were sent out like they didn't cost money.
Li Yunchuan also showed up in the live broadcast room and sent a rocket to show his comfort, which was unanimously criticized by the viewers in the live broadcast room.
After Pink Peach finished crying, she wiped away her tears and still mustered the courage to continue.
— The producer of "Evil Ghosts!" is her fan, and he personally called her, hoping that she could help with the promotion.
He also applied for special treatment for her: extra bonus after clearing the true ending!
Pink Peach is not very short of money.
But she doesn't want to let down this producer fan!
So, although she is very scared, Pink Peach still wants to work hard to respond to this special fan's expectations!
But when she got off the omnidirectional treadmill and wanted to pick up the VR glasses to continue, she found that the VR glasses display was cracked from the middle.
— When she threw it far away, the display unfortunately hit the corner of the table.
Pink Peach reported this bad news to the viewers with a mournful face.
After that, she had to switch to the monitor to continue playing.
But in this way, the sense of immersion was inevitably reduced.
While the degree of terror decreased, the popularity of the live broadcast room also decreased.
A similar situation also happened to Xiao Lizi Nana—
This streamer girl was chased by a human-faced spider crawling on the ceiling, hanging on a spider silk and pounced on her, opening eight spider legs to hug her tightly!
The double impact of body and vision completely broke through Xiao Lizi Nana's psychological defense.
"Mom!!!"
While screaming, she resisted the sudden tightening of the haptic suit, shaking her head and struggling frantically!
The VR glasses were thrown away and hit the wall.
The crisp sound of "crack".
It's not only the sound of the VR glasses breaking, but also the sound of Xiao Lizi Nana's heart breaking.
She has less than 200,000 fans, and her financial situation is far from affluent.
Thanks to the viewers' reminder, she thought that the VR glasses were still under warranty and she didn't have to pay for another one herself, which made her feel a little better.
The latest novel is first published on 69shuba!
… …
The streamers' situation is a microcosm of the collective players.
There are only less than 20 cases of accidental damage to VR glasses among the streamers. When magnified to a global player group of millions, it may be tens of thousands!
This also accidentally caused a situation—Dream Builder game experience halls in various places are once again full and have long queues!
At the same time, the situation of equipment damage, and even damage, is more than the previous few months combined.
However, Dream Builder's opening of experience stores was not originally for making money.
These are all counted as operating losses, and the anxious players are not allowed to share the losses.
… …
Of course, there are timid and fearful players, and there are also players who are so bold that they don't seem like normal humans.
The commander that Fire Knife encountered in [Human Purgatory]—[Dragon City Flying General], because of his outstanding command ability, debuted as a streamer under the suggestion of a group of teammates.
After "Evil Ghosts!" was released, he also came to join in the fun.
Then the viewers saw what a real man playing a horror game is like—
At the beginning, he chose a male character, so the mutated girlfriend walked towards him with blood spurting all over her body, waving a baseball bat to attack him.
The old brother didn't panic at all. After accurately judging the distance, he took two steps back to avoid the baseball bat, and kicked his girlfriend hard in the stomach, taking advantage of the attack CD!
Unfortunately, this sure-fire kick failed to knock the opponent down.
— This is the opening segment set by the development team. Players must be knocked unconscious to enter the basement teaching level.
The viewers also reminded him of this.
But Dragon City Flying General didn't listen.
The old brother fought with the "female ghost" in the living room.
Judging the distance, countering the attack CD, the fight was smooth, free, and pleasing to the eye.
If the living room door hadn't been locked, Dragon City Flying General would have been able to perform a door-to-door clearance on the spot and speedrun the game.
Unfortunately, the game mechanism does not allow it.
Dragon City Flying General tried to reopen the door, but unfortunately failed—the door was locked with a large lock.
He tried to grope for the key on his girlfriend while beating her violently.
But he couldn't find it after groping around, so he had to give up.
After that, he beat his cheap girlfriend violently for a full 10 minutes.
Until he felt bored, he gave up resistance and took a stick voluntarily, so that the plot could proceed smoothly.
The teaching level is not difficult either.
Thumb dislocation? Simple.
Lock picking? It's not a hassle either.
He knows these skills in reality, so how could he be stumped in the game?
As for the door kill—
At the moment of opening the door, when the female corpse covered in blood smashed towards him, Dragon City Flying General calmly raised his hand to catch her, and also parted her blonde hair to admire the hideous face of this cheap girlfriend.
After admiring it, he pinched her cheek and looked at her teeth.
"What neat teeth, have you had them done?" Dragon City Flying General calmly commented.
Even if the other party suddenly feigned death, opened her eyes and wanted to bite him, the old brother did not change his face.
With a sideways force, he slammed the face of this blonde girlfriend hard on the floor!
Blood splattered everywhere!
The dead body is not afraid of this kind of external injury.
The female corpse struggled to get up and continue to attack him.
— In the setting of the development team, this is a classic evil ghost chase battle.
The female corpse, as the source of oppression, is set to be invincible.
But Dragon City Flying General's brain circuit is completely different from that of the "Evil Ghosts!" development team!
After looking around the basement, he released the struggling female corpse and strode to the corner, picking up a rusty nail hammer from the side of the corroded armor.
Looking at the hideous female corpse approaching step by step, he said to the viewers in a relaxed tone:
"I forgot to tell you, I actually know a little bit about exorcism."
