Chapter 335 [You've Been Cursed by the Frog Prince!] (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
"Stop chasing me!"
"I'm doing this for your own good! Really!"
"Stop chasing me, stop chasing me!"
Ge Ming, the frog-suit-wearer, was running wildly through the forest, occasionally using his comical webbed hands to push aside vines and branches blocking his path.
This suit made his head and belly round and plump, making him look quite endearing.
But in a forest environment, it was extremely inconvenient.
As Ge Ming ran, his foot slipped, and he rolled all the way down a slope.
He was using a Phantasmagoria game kit, so he didn't have to worry about bumps and scrapes, but the crazily spinning scenery made his vision blurry and nauseous.
On the screen, Xu Meng, the guest commentator, burst out laughing on the spot.
"I'm sorry, audience members."
"I usually don't laugh during commentary."
"Will our developer give up on escaping, bravely counterattack, and show off his style?"
"Oh, he didn't, he started running again."
On the screen, Heroic Sniper trotted all the way, rushing down the slope.
Ge Ming, while feeling nauseous, continued to run, shouting as he ran, "I'm the developer! Believe me!"
"Really, don't chase me anymore, or you'll regret it!"
"I'll chase! I'll chase! What, are you going to ban my account?" Heroic Sniper wasn't afraid at all, pursuing relentlessly.
Due to the unique features of Dream Forge's game hardware, the entire company had a very strong sports atmosphere.
— Even if they didn't originally like sports, they often needed to run a few laps on the omnidirectional treadmill to test the game and see if there were any problems with the content they developed.
Although Ge Ming was already in his 40s, his physical condition and athletic ability were much better than before he came to Dream Forge.
But compared to Heroic Sniper, he was still far behind—Heroic Sniper even deliberately used the Phantasmagoria game kit again to prove himself.
The viewers could see him sprinting on the omnidirectional treadmill from a third-person perspective.
Heroic Sniper quickly closed in, and just as he was about to catch up, a glowing Wirebug suddenly appeared on the back of his neck.
The next moment, a glowing rope emerged from the air and instantly tightened!
Heroic Sniper staggered, almost falling flat on his face.
He turned back in surprise.
He saw someone pulling the rope and flying towards him!
The person was still in the air, and a huge Great Axe was already raised high!
Heroic Sniper wanted to dodge.
But the stiffness caused by the rope pulling his body prevented the character from moving.
He wanted to block, but he had no weapon.
He could only raise his arms and take this slash with his flesh.
Without a weapon, without armor, without spirit essence buffs, his defense was just a piece of paper.
Heroic Sniper had half his health bar chopped off by this axe.
"Why are you hitting me?! I'm from the development team!" Heroic Sniper was furious.
"I'm hitting you!" The random player swung another axe, "If I kill you, no one will fight me for it!"
Ge Ming only glanced at it, turned his head, and continued to run.
Seeing the situation was not good, Heroic Sniper also ran away.
Moreover, he stubbornly continued to chase after Ge Ming.
— Even if he couldn't get the "surprise", he had to see what the "surprise" Xu Meng was talking about was!
"Oh, Ge Ming's situation is not good!" Xu Meng continued her commentary.
As soon as she finished speaking, the director switched the screen to an aerial view.
The audience was able to see:
Directly in front of Ge Ming's escape route, a Great Sword user was scavenging for supplies in an abandoned village.
To his left, a Dual Blades user wearing only underwear was fighting an old brother in full iron armor but with no weapon.
The dual blades slashed against the iron armor with a hissing sound, and the iron fists slammed into the flesh with a thud.
To his right, a player won the grand prize—[Soul Whistle].
This player immediately put the [Soul Whistle] to his mouth and blew it.
The loud whistle pierced the sky of the forest, and a Rathalos, as big as him, flapped its wings and descended from the sky!
This was a Tier 3 spirit essence, which could provide players with some combat assistance like a summon.
However, just like when Qi Huahua was hunting the Tempered Odogaron, the Jagras could only help her block attacks, the spirit essence at this stage could only provide assistance in one specific direction.
The Jagras spirit essence blocked attacks.
The Rathalos spirit essence was a ranged attack that spewed fireballs.
……
All four directions of Ge Ming were players!
As a result, there was no surprise—he was surrounded by this group of players.
"Um… I advise you all to rein yourselves in." Ge Ming tried to persuade them with words.
But verbal persuasion failed.
The players attacked one after another!
Xu Meng enjoyed the excitement and continued to play with memes: "Bad news: Everyone wants to kill him."
The most recent novels are available first at !
"Good news: Everyone only wants to kill him themselves!"
On the screen, the players attacked their opponents while attacking Ge Ming, and at the same time, they blocked their opponents from attacking Ge Ming.
It was a complete mess.
Heroic Sniper, a blank slate account with bare hands and no armor, was not qualified to participate in the battle and could only wander outside.
Until a crisp "clang" sound, one person's weapon was perfectly parried by the opponent and sent a hammer spinning out of the battle.
Heroic Sniper quickly rushed up, took the lead in picking up the hammer, and officially joined the battle.
The commotion here soon attracted more players.
Some people saw the frog in the middle of the battlefield, abandoning all thought and lying flat, giving up.
They also excitedly joined the battle.
Some people didn't see anything, but seeing so many people fighting, they joined in without saying a word.
In the end, a full 16-player melee actually gathered in this small forest!
Ge Ming, who was lying flat and giving up, ultimately didn't make it to the end.
He was heavily smashed on the head with a Hunting Horn and died on the spot amidst the pleasant horn sounds.
— The Hunting Horn doesn't necessarily have to be blown with the mouth, because of its unique structure, the wind it passes through when swung will also play unique notes.
The moment Ge Ming died.
With a "bang", the frog person exploded.
Large clouds of smoke poured out of the frog person's body, covering the four players around him.
This accident caused everyone in the melee to subconsciously stop and move away.
The same was true for the 4 players in the smoke, who quickly ran out of the smoke-covered area that affected their vision.
So on the screen of the live broadcast, the audience saw four frog people with round bellies darting out of the smoke.
"Hahahaha!"
Xu Meng, who "usually doesn't laugh during commentary", laughed out loud again.
Screens full of "hahahaha" and "???" comments popped up in the live broadcast room.
Heroic Sniper blankly raised his hands, looked at his eight cartoon webbed fingers, and was completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, he suddenly realized:
"Just now he told me not to chase him, or I would regret it."
"Is that what he meant????"
Ignoring that he was still on the battlefield, he opened his status bar and took a look:
[You Have Been Cursed by the Frog Prince!]
[Curse: Transform into a Selling-Baby-Frogs Frog, Duration: 72 hours]
[Only a Kiss of True Love Can Break the Curse.]
[Maintain Transformation State for 72 Hours to Gain Special Ability: Frog Transformation]
[This Curse and Ability are Not Restricted by the World]—
The battlefield fell into an eerie silence.
The four newly-minted frog people, looking at this curse effect, were all dumbfounded.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, someone finally reacted:
"Is this the surprise Boss Xu was talking about?!"
"We'll be turned into frogs????"
"Are you sick!!"
