Chapter 183: The Senior Seeks His Death
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Of course, Fang Qi wanted to watch how different the virtual reality remake created by the system was from the original version, and how weirder it was.
From his previous playing session, he learned that the monsters would change looks according to the players’ internal evils. For Fang Qi, the monsters that he had encountered for now was not different from the original versions, which meant that he didn’t have the internal evils that the monsters represented.
It was a good thing, but it didn’t mean that the situation would continue this way.
After Nalan Hongwu entered the game, Fang Qi noticed that this senior’s character had just found the key and entered the apartment building.
The game had given some clues to the players for them to find this apartment building. Obviously, it took Nalan Hongwu a long time to find the clues and get here.
After all, this town was big, and the game had a high degree of freedom, which meant that the players could enter a lot of places. The more clueless players would have to spend a lot of time on exploration.
Obviously, Nalan Hongwu wasn’t so lucky. Although he played longer than Su Tianji, he made less progress than her.
At this moment, the players who had been eating the instant noodles on the couches all came up and stood behind him.
“Ugh? You’re standing here in a group again? Who are you watching?” Curious, Dong Qingli walked up to check.
“We’re watching Senior Nalan play the game!” Xu Zixin and Song Qingfeng turned to look at her.
This lady who was always wearing a veil left a deep impression on their minds.
Other than the time when the entire city boycotted this shop, no one wore veils all day long as she did. More importantly, she liked to talk about the plots with people while wearing the veil, which gave people deep impressions.
“This senior has a determined mind and pure warrior mentality. It will benefit us to watch him play!” Su Tianji said.
“Really?” Dong Qingli looked at Fang Qi and asked, “Sir, you are watching as well? Won’t you livestream today?”
Fang Qi pointed at the screen. “Today, I’m watching the senior play the game.”
“Senior.” Then, Fang Qi called out, “With so many people watching, you can turn on the speakers so that we don’t have to read the subtitles.”
Then, he taught Nalan Hongwu how to turn on the speakers. Different from external communication, the speakers would just release the sounds within the game. Such practice was usually not allowed since the internet cafe would get too noisy.
“Good!” Nalan Hongwu laughed, surprised at this function.
When he entered the virtual reality mode again, the viewers could also hear the sounds in the game.
At this moment, Nalan Hongwu murmured to himself, “Yesterday, Kid Fang went to the second floor and got a flashlight…”
“Yesterday, I explored this dark place for half a day and didn’t know that there was such a thing.” With a stick in his hand, he saw a mannequin lying on the ground behind the flashlight, but it didn’t wake up yet.
Nalan Hongwu walked over cautiously.
“What’s Senior doing?”
“Ugh? How come he walked behind the flashlight?”
Clutching the stick, Nalan Hongwu stood before the mannequin cautiously. “It’s nothing to be afraid of!”
“I’ll show you how to handle it! I can kill this thing with two strikes of my stick, and I don’t have to use a sneak-attack on it!” Then, he squatted and pointed out the stick carefully, poking at the mannequin!
Everyone who was watching the game almost fainted. “…!!??”
Like a disturbed worm, the mannequin instantly squirmed violently on the ground and then stood up!
Nalan Hongwu still didn’t pick up the flashlight. With one hand behind his back, he pointed the stick forward with a fancy stance. “To give you a better show, I’ll allow it to attack me three times first!”
Everyone was at a loss for words.
Squirming, the mannequin jumped at Nalan Hongwu, but he stepped to the side!
The mannequin missed him!
Then, Nalan Hongwu appeared at the back of the mannequin and smashed it with vicious force!
The mannequin instantly dropped to the ground!
“Senior! You’re awesome!”
“The monster isn’t too difficult to handle!”
“That play was good!” Fang Qi’s eyes lit up, appreciating the different methods of handling the situation.
However, didn’t he mention that he was going to allow the mannequin to launch three attacks first?
Nalan Hongwu looked awkward. “I forgot that I was supposed to let it attack me three times first. I’ll do it with the next monster, then…”
Everyone went speechless.
With the flashlight in hand, Nalan Hongwu searched the rooms one by one and encountered another distorted monster, a Lying Figure, which looked like it was a corpse in a bag.
“I’ll let this monster launch three attacks first!”
“Splash!”
The monster spat acid mist onto his face!
Nalan Hongwu instantly covered his eyes. “…”
Everyone: “…”
“No! The acid mist got into his eyes!”
“The senior is in danger!” The audience reacted and exclaimed.
“You dared to launch a sneak attack on me?!” Nalan Hongwu swung the stick onto the monster like crazy, and the monster died!
“Ugh…” Seeing someone else also swinging the stick clumsily, Su Tianji was very pleased since she realized that she wasn’t the only one.
“Hu… Hu…” Nalan Hongwu recovered his breath and explained, “I did it as a lesson to you. When you play it yourself, you can’t be as careless as I was!”
“The main character is too ordinary!” Fortunately, he had picked up some medicine which could heal his injuries.
While sitting on the ground to take a break, Nalan Hongwu continued to explain.
If the character had a bit of warrior qi in him, or he had the physique of Chris in Resident Evil, he would have had dodged the attack. However, with this body, he couldn’t do any quick reflexes.
Could this body dodge an attack after it was launched? No way!
After the break, Nalan Hongwu stood up.
Feeling like he had embarrassed himself, he snorted and said, “I didn’t let this monster attack me three times first, but I’ll let the next monster do it.”
“Ugh… Still letting enemies attack three times?” The viewers looked at each other in surprise.
“Senior, you should do your best…” Su Tianji felt awkward. “You almost died.”
“What’s the next monster?” An Huwei said while eating Haagen-Dazs. “If it isn’t strong, you can let it attack three times first if you are careful…”
Fang Qi’s face twitched. “Senior, are you seeking your death? If I’m right, the next will be Pyramid Head…”
“Pyramid what?!” The others were puzzled by this nickname.
“Sir, when you comment while the Senior play, I suddenly feel like this is not a horror game anymore…”
“Sir, can’t you stop joking around?!” Shen Qingqing almost laughed.
She didn’t know whether she should cry or laugh!
“Sir! He can’t hear you…” Nalan Mingxue suddenly said from behind, and Fang Qi wondered when she came into the shop.
“I will pay my condolence to the Senior for three minutes…” Dong Qingli said.
