After discovering that Frank's patients were also there, Wen Shi began to be interested in the number of readers.
He needed the monsters to spread the word, attracting more and more patients, which would facilitate extracting information later. Several players in the hotel also wore digital watches, ensuring they could be seen by the NPCs watching their performance.
Faced with such a suicidal behavior, I guess many people would climb over the wall to come to my reading area.
With a quick glance, I saw that there were indeed more messages on the electronic watch.
[It's okay if someone runs away, but this is the first time I've seen someone seeking death.]
[Me too... Anyway, I can't wait to see him die. This is the first time I'm looking forward to the story of "The Eagle".]
"Sir, where are you going?" The master's voice sounded enthusiastic.
Wen Shi studied his phone and said, "A love hotel with a mirror theme."
The task only said that we had to stay overnight in a hotel, but there was no restriction on which hotel.
The taxi driver's smile froze for a moment.
"Please drive faster."
The game was very precise, and the [One Night] timer should officially start after midnight. He had to be at the hotel by that time.
After knowing that the destination was a bit far away, Wen Shi asked the driver to speed up twice on the road. The driver was annoyed by the urging and thought, he is not in a hurry to reincarnate, so why is he urging him?
"Hurry up, I'll catch you cheating."
The driver stepped on the accelerator and the car sped up.
Wen Shi only had a phone with him, and while he couldn't access social apps yet, his payment app worked. He checked the payment method and confirmed that fingerprint payment was enabled.
He then found the electronic ID, and the name column showed that his name in this copy was Lin Hejing.
It's Lin, He, and Jing!
Wen Shi was about to cry, and finally stopped calling Aaron.
The taxi driver saw this scene through the rearview mirror and completely believed the lie of catching the cheating couple.
Compared to Wen Shi's current appearance, the electronic ID photo makes him look a little older, with deeper eye sockets and more mature and charming facial lines.
There is also a warm reminder in the lower right corner of the certificate: [Electronic certificates have the same legal effect as ordinary certificates.]
At 11:50, the taxi finally arrived at the Mirror Hotel, the most famous hotel in the city, as he requested.
The colorful flashing lights were dazzling, and almost every passerby took a look inside. After paying the money, Wen Shi strode inside.
Several couples were waiting to register. Now was not the time to be particular about first come, first served. Wen Shi walked to the front without paying attention to anyone around and said, "Get a room."
The couple who were cut in line suddenly became furious. They had never seen such a shameless queue cutter.
The tattooed man rolled up his sleeves and was about to give Wen Shi a lesson when he heard him say, "The more mirrors in the room, the better."
If you need condoms or something, you have to buy them at the front desk. Customers checking in usually take one. Wen Shi pushed the items on sale at the counter aside with some disdain: "I'm alone, I don't need these things."
one person?
The people in the queue behind him had no recollection of being cut in line. The only question left in their minds was: How can one play alone?
Another two minutes passed, and Wen Shi tapped the table with his fingers. Facing the puzzled receptionist, he said, "Is it not okay to have fun alone?"
The front desk clerk came to his senses and quickly checked him in.
After finishing the process, the receptionist stole a few glances at him. Not only her, but all the guests turned their heads and watched Wen Shi enter the elevator.
When the outer door closed, Wen Shi met these astonished gazes and mouthed, "Solo romance, you don't understand."
The elevator stopped at the fourth floor.
There are not many rooms on this floor. Wen Shi's room number is [406], which happens to be the innermost room.
The hotel cost 800 yuan a night, which is considered high-end. It was worth it. Once we opened the door, the ambiance inside was much better than the previous one. The decor fit the theme perfectly, even including a giant mirror on the ceiling.
Patient 109: I don't understand why we need to install a mirror on the ceiling.
[Patient 144: Would you like to @ the sex addict on the third floor?]
[Scavenger: It's been a while since I've seen any patients at Frank Hospital.]
More than a dozen monsters came in one after another, all ready to see how Wen Shi would die.
It's eleven fifty-five.
Wen Shi took the time to study the layout of the room, looking for the most suitable place to sleep. He pushed open the mirrored doors and found many hidden cabinets, including a dark room. Inside, there was only a hammock surrounded by dazzling mirrors.
So many ingenious little designs!
"One thousand is not too much."
Feeling very satisfied, Wen Shi took out the [bell] that could ward off evil spirits and put it on himself. After closing the door, he took out the [small lantern] to use for lighting.
After being smashed in the castle, the lantern's light was now of average intensity. The darkroom floor was reflective, casting the youth's shadow in all directions. The bell on his slender neck was particularly striking. Once the door was closed, the darkroom grew stuffy. Wen Shi casually unbuttoned a button on her collar and lay down on the hammock. As her thin body swayed gently in the hammock, the monsters in the reading area suspected she was trying to seduce them with her beauty.
Haha, childish.
It may be childish, but no monster has left for the time being, so Wen Shi's seemingly suicidal behavior of staying and watching is very effective.
"Will you come tonight..." Wen Shi leaned against [Hug Bear], hummed a little tune, and lay on the hammock with his eyes closed to rest.
The only way for evil spirits to enter here is through the mirror. The battle record halo can help him dodge 70% of the mirror monsters. Combined with luck and evil spirit protection, it is unlikely that he will have a head-on collision with the evil spirit tonight.
Forced by life, he'd started living frugally. In the past, when faced with a kill at the start, Wen Shi would have summoned the zombies without hesitation. Now, he'd learned to save blood, after all, potions weren't cheap.
Before he knew it, it was past midnight. Even though he was swinging in the hammock, Wen Shi soon felt sleepy and finally fell into a deep sleep.
At midnight, the isolated little room was exceptionally quiet.
A stuffed bear stood beside the hammock's wire ropes, its small, round black eyes now completely scarlet. The bear looked at the young man sleeping soundly on the bed, then gently patted his stomach twice with its paws. Wen Shi, already alert, immediately opened his eyes.
"!"
Facing a huge bear face, Wen Shi stood up with a somersault and was almost sent away.
For the first time, he knew that the bear could stand up.
The teddy bear showed no guilt for scaring people. Its arm pointed in the direction of the door. Wen Shi looked over and saw a fishy liquid slowly flowing in through the crack of the door. Part of the water flowed through where he put his shoes, and the direction of the shoe surface shifted. The water seemed to want to push the toe of the shoe towards the hammock.
Wen Shi looked at it quietly for two seconds, pulled out the bedding from the hammock in the room, blocked the gap in the door tightly, then put his shoes on the other side, turned around and went to bed to continue sleeping.
These tricks mean that it is difficult for evil spirits to come in directly, so there is nothing to worry about.
Before going to bed, Wen Shi glanced at his electronic watch and found that the number of readers was currently ninety-four.
His expression was indescribable: "Why are you still here?"
After shaking his head, he closed his eyes without any psychological burden.
Wen Shi already had some understanding of the nature of these monsters. The more he went along with them, the more boring they found him.
Nothing happened overnight.
The dark room was imperceptible to light, and when Wen Shi woke up the next day, it was already eight o'clock. He had slept well, and aside from a sore throat, he felt no additional discomfort. The damp sheets that had been blocking the door lay on the floor. Wen Shi picked them up and draped them over the edge of the bathtub while he washed up.
The number of readers remains ninety-four.
"…" So stubborn.
Wen Shi had just woken up a little after washing his face when the first reminder sound of the day rang out:
"Side quest - Accommodation completed."
"You can now use the mobile memo."
I unlocked one of the mobile apps that stopped working yesterday, and there was only one message in the memo:
Go to an orphanage.
Address: No. 114 Qinghua Street.
Since the dungeon prompts that there is a competitive relationship, the faster the action is, the better. So far, Wen Shi has not seen any of the players except those in the lobby. He has not even seen the shadows of the young man and Pei Hongxin who went to the dungeon together.
"Could it be that everyone is in different short stories?"
Then didn't he come here for loneliness? !
Wen Shi quickly ruled out this view. The copies couldn't be so divided. There must be a certain track where everyone's stories would be connected.
I went downstairs promptly to check out, but the receptionist couldn't help but steal a glance at Wen Shi, as this was the first self-service guest since the hotel opened.
I saw this person, who was in high spirits and typing with very nimble fingers, giving the hotel a five-star rating.
[It's amazing! The darkroom is even better! I'll definitely come back next time if I have the chance.]
front desk:"..."
After checking out of the room, Wen Shi went out and immediately rented it out.
The driver I met today was far less friendly than last night. After hearing where he was going, his face turned even more gloomy: "Add more money, fifty more."
The balance in the coin purse was enough to last for a while, so living expenses weren't a problem for the player. Wen Shi generously nodded in agreement: "I'll give you an extra hundred. Can you tell me about the situation there?"
The driver's expression improved after the money arrived. "There's nothing much to say, actually. A few years ago, there was a fire at an orphanage on Qinghua Road. It's said to be haunted."
Wen Shi nodded when he heard this: "I see."
According to the mechanism of the dungeon, it would be strange if the place the player is going to is not haunted.
The taxi drove all the way to a very remote place, and there were few trees outside the car window. Just when Wen Shi was wondering if he was going to be taken away and sold, the car braked suddenly and he almost hit his forehead on the guardrail.
Driver: "We're here."
This place was practically in the suburbs, and the weather was gloomy. When Wen Shi looked outside, the driver waiting to take the order said unhappily, "Pay up and leave."
As soon as he got out of the car, Wen Shi smelled a burnt smell.
The taxi drove away in a cloud of dust, and the exhaust fumes hit Wen Shi's face.
After looking around, he walked calmly towards the only place where he could see a building. Although the fire had been over for a long time, the smell of burning became stronger as he walked forward. Wen Shi said as if he didn't care at all, "It seems like a place worth looking forward to."
The excitement he showed made him disguise himself as a perfect pervert.
A cold system prompt sound suddenly rang out:
"You have successfully saved your first novel, 'The Eagle'. Please keep up the good work and get into the story as soon as possible."
Wen Shi did not stop. According to this setting, as long as he could complete the story setting, the rescue would be considered a success.
One of the methods of falcon training is to keep the falcon awake, as the name suggests.
I was the resident who was being haunted by a ghost and couldn't sleep, like the eagle. As long as I could fall asleep, the chapter would be complete. Thinking about it this way, it seemed like the difficulty level was pretty average.
He loves C+ grade!
The beep continues:
"The protagonist of the "Eagle-Staying" chapter has been successfully determined. All remaining players in the same chapter have been eliminated."
"The electronic screen function is now complete."
"Please try to keep the number of readers above fifty. If the number of readers is less than fifty, your rationality value will decrease."
The system's few words instantly cleared the relaxed look from Wen Shi's face. Now that there was no one around, he didn't need to hide his expression. The gloom in his eyes matched the gloomy weather.
There is only one protagonist, so someone else's victory can become a condition for your elimination at any time.
Wen Shi took a deep breath and forced himself to focus on the electronic screen.
There are several more status bars on the right side of the screen.
Fear Bar: 4100
[Anger Bar: 5100]
[Excitement bar: 0100]
[Rationality: 100100] (Note: Rationality is not open to readers)
To sum up, it's like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and all the real emotions are open to the monsters who are watching their performance.
When Wen Shi felt a slight palpitation, the fear bar rose another point.
This fear stems from the disclosure of his inner thoughts, and the monsters can make real judgments based on the numbers no matter what he says or does.
The monsters in the barrage began the first round of collective ridicule.
They acted so calmly that they thought a fearless character in the story had really arrived, but it turned out to be nothing more than that.
Scissor Granny: Tsk, I'm already feeling scared before I even reach my destination. Listen to Granny and play with finger scissors. Hahahaha!
Patient 144: I can't take it anymore. This is so embarrassing. I almost believed his fakery!
Your excitement level is zero, how can you have the nerve to say that you are looking forward to coming?
A few of the spectators left, and now there are only about eighty left.
Wen Shi: "…"
It is truly the emperor's new clothes.
He calmed down as quickly as possible, a smile appearing on his fair face: "Okay."
If he had to play it this way, he was actually looking forward to this copy.
The excitement bar flickered, then slowly rose a point.
