Chapter 1 Game CD, Hotel of the Past
Lucheng, in a certain community.
Su Ming, a slightly fat young man, sat in front of the computer and read the recent news.
"A large-scale public beta test of the thriller game is about to begin. This public beta test has a large number of people and is expected to cover 1/10 of the world's population."
"All countries have established corresponding countermeasures bureaus. China's Thriller Game Countermeasures Bureau issued an announcement, hoping that those who have obtained player qualifications will proactively call the following number to register."
"Ouyang Ming, the leader of the first batch of internal beta testers, published suggestions on his social account. He hopes that the selected people will pay attention to the following things when they participate in the game for the first time. This will greatly increase the survival probability of novices!"
"According to an anonymous source, the difficulty of the novice trial dungeons ranges from low to high, namely: easy, normal, difficult, and extremely difficult. The higher the difficulty, the better the rewards you will get, but at the same time, the higher the pass rate will be. Low, the pass rate of extremely difficult copies is less than 1%! ”
……
Nowadays, the overwhelming news on the Internet is basically all related to horror games.
Originally, the officials did not intend to reveal this thing, for fear of causing panic.
However, now that large-scale public testing is about to begin, there is no point in hiding it.
Therefore, recently, the official began to vigorously promote it.
Let the horror game, which was originally semi-secret, begin to become known to everyone.
In fact, what the official can do is very limited, and they can only popularize some basic knowledge about thriller games.
But this stuff is just like the theorems and axioms in books. If you want to deeply understand and apply them, you have to practice through the questions.
That is, experience with the specific copy content is required, or at least knowledge of the relevant information.
However, thriller games have considerable restrictions on the dissemination of copied content.
Players who have not experienced a certain dungeon cannot obtain dungeon information through other players' narration, text, images and other conventional methods.
This means that players who have passed the dungeon cannot send out their clearance experience through the Internet for reference by players who have not passed the dungeon.
Therefore, for those who have not experienced thriller games, the information about thriller games circulating on the Internet is all general and general content, and specific copies cannot be found at all.
If you want to know the content information of the dungeon in advance, you can only use the "Dungeon Information Fragment Page".
The production of residual pages requires a lot of game points, which is often more profitable than a copy, and is a one-time use.
It is simply impossible for ordinary players to obtain it.
Su Ming: "Forget it, never mind."
"Thriller games are so dangerous. Maybe they will die immediately after entering. It is better to take advantage of the last time and play a dozen more games."
"This way, even if you die in the dungeon, you will feel less regretful."
He took out an old CD and put it into the computer's CD-ROM drive.
This game CD was found when he went to clean his old house some time ago.
In my impression, my father played the game on this CD when I was very young.
During that time, he was still very greedy and wanted to play, but his father wouldn't let him play or even look at it.
He said the game was too scary and not suitable for children, and asked him to play it as an adult.
Later, he gradually forgot about this CD.
Until this time I went back to my old house to pack my things and found this CD.
The memory of his childhood hit him instantly, reminding him of everything.
Now the CD has been found, but his parents have lost contact for several years.
"Oh... Dad, Mom, where have you been?"
"Why didn't you say hello and just disappeared?"
"Are you guys also beta testers of thriller games?"
As Su Ming muttered to himself, the CD was also read by the CD-ROM drive.
On the computer screen, a picture of a slightly rundown hotel was displayed.
Then, four large bloody characters appeared: Hotel of the Past.
The painting style of the game is 2D pixel style.
As the game started, Su Ming gradually became immersed in it. It was obviously just a pixel game, but the immersion was surprisingly high, and the plot was also very good.
Games from more than ten years ago are still quite playable today.
The background of the game is very simple. The squad leader organized the whole class to live and play in a hotel for three days. However, when they arrived, they found that only the squad leader had not shown up.
It started to rain heavily outside the hotel. The students had no way to leave and had to stay in the hotel. But soon, someone died, and various strange events began to occur...
This game has a high fatality rate, and you will die if you are not careful.
But fortunately, it can be archived. With the help of SL method, Su Ming continued trial and error and finally avoided countless pitfalls, finally found out the truth and solved the strange source of the hotel.
It took him a whole week to complete the game perfectly.
Looking at the final ending animation, Su Ming let out a long breath: "Huh... I finally cleared the level perfectly!"
He couldn't help but sigh: "This game is really difficult."
"Even a master like me took a whole week to complete the level perfectly."
"If horror games were this difficult, they would die ninety-nine times."
Dong Dong Dong——
There was a knock on the door.
A dull male voice came from outside the door: "Express delivery!" "It's coming, it's coming."
Su Ming stood up and trotted to the door.
Opening the door, there was only a black box outside, which looked like an urn.
There are also a few words written on it: Congratulations! Qualify for the open beta of the thriller game!
Su Ming's hand shook and he wished he could close the door with his backhand.
What a sin!
Something dirty is coming to your door!
But he knew that once he saw this thing, he couldn't run away.
At this time, a horror game panel appeared in front of him.
[Hello D5205211314, public beta player of Thriller Game! 】
【Welcome to the thriller game! 】
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
[The novice copy will start in one minute, please be prepared. 】
[In order to protect the safety of players' life, property and personal privacy, the player's appearance will be adjusted to a certain extent after entering the dungeon. After entering the dungeon, you will automatically receive a codename assigned by the thriller game. Please do not reveal your real name at will. (Special props are required to change the code name)]
[Copy Name: Death Hotel]
[Difficulty: Extremely difficult]
【Number of people: 30】
[Explanation: When you are about to graduate, the monitor of your class organized the whole class to go to the Hotel of the Past, and you were one of them. However, you never dreamed that this would be the beginning of a nightmare...]
Su Ming was a little confused: "Hotel of the dead?"
Isn't this the same name as the game on his CD?
Not only that, even the background is very similar. The monitor invited the whole class to visit the Hotel of the Past.
Is this just a coincidence, or is there some kind of connection between them?
There is no time to think too much, it is about to enter the game.
Su Ming quickly moved in the black box at the door.
It is then quickly disassembled to reveal the contents.
This is a silver coin with intricate patterns carved on it.
[Item: Silver Ghost Coin]
[Level: Normal]
[Explanation: A special coin that can be exchanged for 100 points. This is a little balance compensation for the unlucky ones who start the extremely difficult copy. 】
Game points are very precious things. It is said that they can be used to purchase items in the store in the instance and on the instance settlement page. In addition, they have other uses.
The price of one point in a certain treasure has been sold to 10,000 yuan.
In the last moments, Su Ming also tried to search for information about the Hotel of the Past on the Internet, but found absolutely nothing.
It seems that Thriller Games has blocked relevant information.
In the blink of an eye, a minute passed.
Su Ming disappeared into the rental house.
Opening his eyes, Su Ming found that he appeared in front of a hotel.
Surrounded by players who came in with him, most of them were a little scared and desperate.
There is a code name floating above everyone's head. There are various types of code names with no rules, but they are all two to four characters:
【Keyboard Warrior】
【Rat】
【Coward】
【Cowardly】
【Staff】
【Mr. Cuckold】
……
The code name above Su Ming's head is [Game House].
"This codename does not seem to be chosen casually, but a certain characteristic of the selected player to give an image summary of the player."
Looking at the Death Hotel in front of him, Su Ming felt inexplicably familiar.
Although the hotel he saw in the previous CD-ROM game had a pixel style, and the current hotel was a 3D entity, he still recognized it at a glance.
This hotel is just like the one in the CD-ROM game!
This further confirmed Su Ming's guess.
Perhaps, the CD-ROM game I played was actually somewhat related to this copy.
If that were the case, there would be plenty to play with.
After all, after three days of exploration, he can be said to know everything about the situation of the Death Hotel in the CD-ROM game.
