Chapter 359: Escape that not many people dare to play
That afternoon, a 1.9-meter tall man appeared in front of the experience store.
“This is the Thunderbolt gaming experience Store? Hmm, not bad, it’s pretty cool. We need to take a picture of this Arthas statue. ” The brawny man went over and took a selfie in front of Arthas’s statue.
This brawny man was called Zhao Xuhui, and he was a fitness coach. He had a small hobby, which was playing horror games.
Zhao Xuhui lived in the imperial capital. When he heard that Chen Mo had released a new horror game, he immediately came over to try it out.
Zhao Xuhui walked into the hall on the first floor of the experience store and realized that there were quite a lot of people.
Zhao Xuhui went to the front desk.”Hello. I would like to try out the new game.”
The receptionist smiled.”Okay, please swipe your id here. The VR experience area is on the third floor. You can find it by taking the elevator.”
Zhao Xuhui swiped his id at the front desk. At this moment, a chubby young man walked towards him.
“You’re here to try outlast too?” Zou Zhuo asked.
“Yeah, you too?” Zhao Xuhui nodded.
Zou Zhuo nodded,”yes, but I’m a coward. I’m only here to support the manager’s new game.” But I heard that the game was too scary, so I didn’t have the courage to …”
Zhao Xuhui didn’t think much of it. “It can’t be that serious. You haven’t even played yet and you’re already scared?”
Zou Zhuo pointed at the seven or eight players in the lobby,””They’re all here to try out outlast, but after five minutes, they were so scared that they left the game cabin and came to the hall to calm down. These are the bold ones, and a few of them were scared away. ”
Zhao Xuhui was speechless.
That’s why people nowadays have such poor mental fortitude! It’s just a horror game. You know that everything inside is fake, and even if you die in the game, you won’t lose a piece of flesh in reality, but you don’t even dare to play?
He was too weak!
Zhao Xuhui patted zou Zhuo’s arm,””It’s okay, don’t be afraid. Come, let’s experience it together.”
Zou Zhuo hesitated,”actually, I haven’t decided yet …”
Zhao Xuhui said nonchalantly,”I haven’t thought about anything. You’re already here.” Let’s go, we can keep each other company. ”
Zou Zhuo had been struggling in the lobby for a long time. Even though he was terrified, he was still curious about outlast.
Under Zhao Xuhui’s encouragement, zou Zhuo was moved and he finally gathered his courage,””Alright, let’s go together!”
Zhao Xuhui laughed.”That’s more like it. My name is Zhao Xuhui. How should I address you?”
“Zou Zhuo. I’m a regular here. Come, I’ll take you to the third floor. ” Zou Zhuo introduced himself as he led Zhao Xuhui to the elevator.
Zou Zhuo was very familiar with the experience store as it was like his own home. He soon arrived at the VR experience area.
To Zhao Xuhui’s surprise, there weren’t many people playing in the VR experience area. Most of the gaming pods were empty.
“Why aren’t many people playing?” Zhao Xuhui was a little puzzled.
“Oh, there were quite a lot of them in the morning, but they were all full.” Zou Zhuo explained,”but most of them quit after ten minutes. The regulars of the experience store were all scared out of their wits. They’re all trying to calm down now. Some of them are chatting in the lobby on the first floor, and some of them have gone to eat. That’s why there aren’t many people now.”
Zhao Xuhui was once again disdainful. What the hell? so many people had been defeated? He was too weak!
People in the modern world were so fragile that they didn’t even dare to play a horror game.
As he felt a sense of superiority, Zhao Xuhui couldn’t help but be curious. Just how scary was this game?
One thing was for sure, outlast was definitely different from those ridiculous domestic horror games. From the players ‘reactions, it was definitely a qualified horror game.
When he thought about this, Zhao Xuhui started to have some expectations.
Zhao Xuhui and zou Zhuo each chose a gaming pod and entered it.
“Brother, hang in there. Let’s try to be the first batch of players to clear the game in the experience store.” Zhao Xuhui said to zou Zhuo.
Zou Zhuo’s mouth twitched,”I … I’ll try to hold on for 20 minutes …”
Zhao Xuhui laughed in his heart. Twenty minutes? Ha, his expectations of himself were simply too low! It would take at least an hour!
Very quickly, Zhao Xuhui’s vision went black and the screen switched to the game cabin.
The interface was very clean, and there were only two games on it, Minecraft and outlast.
Zhao Xuhui chose outlast and entered the game’s initial setting.
At this moment, Zhao Xuhui was facing an extremely blurry image. The entire image had a cold green-gray tone to it. The surroundings were all gray and blurry, and he couldn’t see clearly. He could vaguely see that this was a scene similar to an abandoned hospital, and there seemed to be the shadow of a wheelchair nearby.
There weren’t many mysterious scenes and the screen directly showed the game’s options. This overly simple scene actually made Zhao Xuhui’s hair stand on end.
Before the game started, a long series of system notifications popped up.
“Checking the player’s physical condition. Please wait …”
“Heart and lung function normal. Breathing, heartbeat, pulse, blood pressure, all vital signs are stable. No past diseases or genetic history. Health status normal. Fear level normal. You are allowed to play the game.”
“It has been detected that this is your first time playing the game, so only the refreshing experience and simple difficulty will be available. When you clear the game with a clear experience, you will unlock the fully immersed experience and the higher difficulty of the game. ”
“In the course of the game, you will receive a large amount of visual and auditory stimulation, as well as a small amount of tactile stimulation. If you fall from a high altitude, you will feel a slight pain on your back. The pain will be controlled at about 3%, just to make the game experience more realistic. It will not affect your health in any way. ”
“During the game, you can exit at any time and the system will automatically save the game record for you. If your vital signs or terror points fluctuate violently and exceed the warning level for 5 seconds, the system will automatically kick you out. It will not affect your health. ”
“Lastly, I would like to emphasize that this is a completely fictional VR game and will not pose any threat to your life. We wish you an extraordinary gaming experience!”
Zhao Xuhui was a little speechless. What the hell? Not allowing a completely immersive experience?
“What’s with only releasing the refreshing experience and the simple difficulty? Wasn’t the awakening experience just like scratching an itch through one’s boot? what the hell was the meaning of that! Moreover, it had the function of automatically kicking out of the game?
He even emphasized that this was just a game and would not pose any threat to his life? Do I need you to tell me? Do you think I’m a three-year-old child? How could I not know that this is just a game? What a joke!”
Zhao Xuhui started to complain about this notification. In his opinion, this was completely unnecessary!
