Chapter 362
Chapter 362: The players ‘mental breakdown
Zhao Xuhui could feel his heart pounding. He was scared out of his wits.
He couldn’t find the main character, so fatty dragged the chain out. Before he left, he turned around and gave Zhao Xuhui, who was hiding in the cabinet, a second shock.
Although he knew that this was all part of the plot, Zhao Xuhui still felt his heart beating wildly and his brain was lacking oxygen.
“It’s all fake, it’s all fake, it’s all fake ... Fake ... F ** K, it’s too real, I was scared to death!!”
After waiting for a long time, Zhao Xuhui finally came out of the cabinet.
“Damn, this is really scary! I feel that if I’m really caught by this fatty, I’ll definitely die, right?”
“So, my mission now is to go to the basement and restart the generator? F * ck, are you kidding me? I knew it wouldn’t end so easily!”
After reaching the basement, Zhao Xuhui quickly discovered something that made him break down.
“To restart the generator, I need to turn on the two air pumps and the main switch? The generator, the two air pumps, and the main switch are in four different places?”
“You’re not F * cking playing with me, right?”
“F**K!!”
“S**T!!”
“What should I do now? Help me! I want to get out!”
......
“I don’t want to go to the basement to find some damn generator!!”
This was the first time Zhao Xuhui had felt so much despair. The basement was completely dark, and his vision was severely limited. There was also a crazy person chasing after him.
But now, he had no way to get out as all the roads were locked. The only way was to avoid the psychopath in the dark, then complete a series of operations according to the order and restart the generator!
Zhao Xuhui was so regretful that his intestines had turned green. Why did he have to play this game?! Wasn’t this just looking for trouble?!
He had a strong urge to immediately open the game cabin and leave this dark place.
He took a look at the system time. It had only been less than 20 minutes since he had entered the game!
“Less than 20 minutes? Are you F * cking kidding me? I thought it’s been almost an hour!”
“According to the average game time of 4 – 6 hours, no, if the shortest game time is 2 – 3 hours, I’ve only passed one-sixth?! You haven’t even finished the first part?”
“F * ck, why am I playing this game? Why?”
“I can’t take it anymore!”
“Mom, I want to go home!!!”
Zhao Xuhui cried out in despair.
……
In the VR experience area, zou Zhuo came out of the gaming pod with a pale face.
“Damn, that’s too scary! It was too terrifying! I don’t want to play it a second time!”
Zou Zhuo wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He felt like he was in a daze. He could only say that the aftereffects of outlast were too obvious. He could still feel his heart beating wildly.
Zou Zhuo ordered a cup of hot milk tea after he returned to the hall. He was going to sit on the sofa to calm himself down.
Zou Zhuo looked at the sofa and saw a familiar figure. It was a big guy with muscles. Wasn’t that Zhao Xuhui?
What the hell?
Zou Zhuo was also a little confused. He thought that Zhao Xuhui would be able to play longer than him, but why did he come down earlier than him?
It had only been 20 minutes since he entered the game cabin, right?
Moreover, the two of them were pale. They were obviously frightened.
Zhao Xuhui saw zou Zhuo as well, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Zhao Xuhui had said that he would play for a long time, but he had lasted even shorter than zou Zhuo, and they had even met. This was really embarrassing.
Zhao Xuhui coughed dryly.”Ahem, I’m suddenly a little thirsty. I wanted to come out and have some milk tea before continuing.”
Zou Zhuo nodded,”yeah, I understand.” That ... Where are you?”
“Restart the generator,” Zhao Xuhui said.
Zou Zhuo,”me too ...”
The situation became extremely awkward.
A bespectacled young man beside him said,””Are you talking about escape? I only played until I restarted the generator ...”
Several players in the hall had played outlast and immediately started discussing it. In the end, most of them had been defeated at the power generator’s restart, while a small number had been thrown down the building by fatty.
He had no choice, it was too scary, he couldn’t hold on at all!
It was just a game, but why did it feel like he was playing with his life?
Soon, the players seemed to have found an organization and began to discuss.
“Damn it, I really fell for the manager’s trick! I thought that this game would at most be at the level of domestic horror games, but it’s not! This game is a hundred times scarier than all the haunted houses in the country!”
“Yeah, the main thing is that we can’t guess where the high energy is at all. We were shocked at the TV, we were shocked at the falling body, and fatty was even more shocked! My weak little heart can’t take it anymore!”
“Restarting the generator really made me break down. The basement was dark, and I had to find four places to hide from that pervert with the long wooden nails! F * ck, I died a few times there, I don’t want to play anymore!”
“This game’s atmosphere is too F * cking weird. The scariest thing is that it feels so real! It’s both real and strange!”
“When fatty grabbed me, I could feel my right arm being grabbed. Although I knew it was fake, I was still scared to death!”
“I was so scared that I almost jumped out of the game cabin!”
“Is there anyone else who wants to continue the challenge?”
“No need! Goodbye!”
“I still want to try. Although this game is scary, it’s really amazing to be able to make a horror game to this extent.”
“I’ll give you a suggestion. You must go to the toilet before you continue playing, in case you pee in the game cabin ...”
“I’ve already posted my experience on the forum,” the bespectacled guy said.”I’m trying to get more people to come and play!”
Zou Zhuo was dumbfounded.”What the f * ck? what grudge?”
The bespectacled young man said,”I can’t enjoy such a fun game alone!” We must let everyone experience it!”
“Alright,” he said. Zou Zhuo felt that he was right.”Where did you post it? I’ll go and top it.”
Everyone took out their phones.”That’s right! Let’s go and promote it too!”
Zhao Xuhui secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like it wasn’t just him; everyone had been defeated!
In that case, I’ve already opened two small air pumps, so I’ve been playing for a longer time? As expected, as a professional horror game player, I’m still very good.
Zhao Xuhui said,”everyone, is there anyone else who would like to experience it again?” Let’s go together later! I have to say that this horror game is f * cking fun. This is a real horror game!”
When he saw that everyone else was also scared like dogs, Zhao Xuhui suddenly felt better. He completely forgot that he had been scared half to death before.
Chapter 363: A vicious cycle of curiosity and fear
Translator: 549690339
In the Thunderbolt gaming platform’s general discussion area, a few posts caught the attention of the players.
“Outlast is so fun! It’s the most fun game I’ve ever played in my life. Everyone, come and play!”
“Outlast is too F * cking terrifying! It’s simply too scary, don’t come!”
“It’s said that all the players of outlast were defeated in ten minutes. Is there anyone who’s willing to try and see how long they can last?”
“You guys might not believe it, but this game is really scary ...”
Although these posts were all different, at least they successfully proved one thing: Outlast was a successful horror game, and it didn’t end up as a dissing game!
This successfully piqued the curiosity of other players about outlast.
Everyone was very curious about what kind of horror game this was. How terrifying could he be? Which aspect was terrifying? Why did everyone retreat in ten minutes?
Isn’t this too fake?
Many of the players in the imperial capital were not convinced and expressed that they would let outlast play for them! It was just a horror game. How scary could it be?
Very quickly, everyone started leaving comments below the post.
“Even though I feel like you’re Chen Mo’s fake reviewers, I’ll still take the bait. I’ll try the game in the experience store tomorrow.”
“Aren’t you exaggerating too much? It’s just a horror game, how scary can it be?”
“You bunch of cowardly rats, watch me show you a high-end operation!”
“Really? is it really that terrifying? I don’t believe it!”
The curiosity of many players and streamers who were passionate about horror games was fully aroused. Everyone was very curious. What kind of horror game could make most people retreat in less than 20 minutes?
……
The next day, a new batch of white mice arrived.
“I want to play the new game, outlast!” The young people were obviously together and were very active at the front desk.
The pale-faced people in the hall who were clutching their chests gave them sympathetic looks.
Ah, ignorance is bliss.
In the past, I was just as fearless as you. Now? He had to prepare some quick-acting cardiac pills every day.
After the young men swiped their ID cards, they took the elevator to the third floor in high spirits.
“Come on, let’s play together, let’s play together. We’ll hold hands on the way to escape. Whoever leaves first is a dog!”
“Hehe, I’m someone who can walk through a haunted house upside down without a change in expression. What can a mere horror game do to me?”
“Hmph! I’ll be the first person to clear outlast today!”
……
Fifteen minutes later, the young men returned to the hall on the first floor with pale faces and hands on their chests.
“Fuck! This game is too F * cking scary, I’m not playing anymore!”
“Didn’t they say that whoever backed out first was the dog?”
“Woof! No, I mean, we’ve obviously underestimated the horror of this game. I don’t want to play it anymore! Don’t ever do it a second time!”
“I’m already traumatized by the game cabin!”
“I’ve already taken a taxi! I want to go home!”
“Don’t go. Don’t you want to experience it again?”
“Experience my ass! If you want to experience it, experience it yourself. Don’t drag me along if you’re courting death. Goodbye!”
Soon, more and more players were drinking milk tea in the hall on the first floor, and there was not enough space on the sofa.
The strange thing was that the players who had been scared pale by outlast did not dissuade the other players from playing. Instead, they piqued their curiosity.
How scary was this game?
As wave after wave of players came down from the third floor of the VR experience area, there were even more players in the PC experience area who were eager to try out the new VR horror game.
Just like that, the players in the experience store were caught in an infinite loop of “curious, scared, more people are curious, more people are scared,”
The players who had tried outlast couldn’t wait to post in the Thunderbolt gaming platform’s general discussion area, and the content of the posts was very different.
Some said that the game was very scary, some said that it wasn’t scary at all, some said that it was very fun, and some said that it was scary ...
Some people were telling the truth and sharing their real experiences, while others were lying to trick more people into playing.
Those who weren’t in the imperial capital and couldn’t come to the experience store to play outlast were all very curious about what kind of game it was.
……
……
On the 23rd of September, outlast was officially released!
Chen Mo didn’t use too many advertising methods this time, since outlast was a VR horror game. In China, games like this were extremely rare, and the hype itself was enough to create a lot of hype with the players ‘recommendation.
Many of the players who had been paying attention to the game had heard about the details of the game after the trial in the experience store. This game was very scary! In fact, most of them would be expelled in the first 20 minutes!
However, this made outlast more and more famous. Many fickle netizens even flooded the livestreaming rooms of major streamers, asking them to try out this new horror game.
……
Fish-catching live broadcast platform, Lin Xue’s live broadcast room.
Lin Xue, who had just finished a ranking match, was resting and communicating with her netizens.
“What? You want me to play Chen Mo’s new game, outlast?”
“Isn’t that a horror game? I don’t want to play! Don’t even think about it!”
...”If you don’t want to play, cancel the subscription and close it? Wow, are you guys that cruel? Do you really want to see a cute streamer like me play such a scary game?”
“There are actually so many people asking ‘want to see’? You ... I misjudged you!”
Lin Xue wanted to ignore these people, but for some reason, these netizens became more and more enthusiastic. In the end, the entire screen was filled with comments like “please play outlast!”
Lin Xue was speechless. She had been following Chen Mo’s new game for a long time, but she immediately gave up when she heard it was a horror game.
F * ck, Chen Mo’s VR horror game can be played? It scared people to death!
As the saying went,”you can avoid the first day, but you can’t avoid the fifteenth day.” Xue Lin didn’t want to mention this at all, but the audience asking to watch outlast was getting more and more, and she could no longer ignore it.
“Sigh, alright.” Lin Xue sighed helplessly.”Let’s make this clear first. If I get into a particularly scary part of the game, I’m going to quit immediately. I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to clear the game.”
Xue Lin stood up and went to open her VR gaming pod.
The viewers immediately became alert and started spamming the bullet screen.
“Wow, Xue is really going to play outlast! Well done!”
“You guys are so cruel. Xue is such a quiet and lovely girl. How can she stand such a scary game? You guys are not real fans!”
“What game is this? who has played it before?”
“I played with it for a while. All I can say is, do you really think Xue is the only one who would be frightened? Hehe, too naive. Everyone watching the live broadcast will be scared to death!”
