Chapter 10

Bai Yan was sad for two days before he recovered from his depression due to the unfortunate death of the diary.

For several days, he spent his time studying forum strategies and exercising, and the week soon came to an end.

On the morning of the seventh day, Bai Yan began to use makeup tools such as foundation and eyebrow pencil to slightly modify his appearance so that people would not recognize him as the "Wang Ze" who was hacked on the forum.

In order not to be recognized, he also trimmed his hair and changed into a casual outfit with a different style from that day.

After the makeup was completed, Bai Yan put the foundation into the shoulder bag and then carried the shoulder bag on his back.

In addition to the foundation, the shoulder bag also contained hemostatic powder, bandages, knives, pens and a piece of bent wire. Judging from the comments in the forum, accidents often happen in the game, so Bai Yan brought some light tools to prepare for possible emergencies.

"Also, you must not forget your glasses this time."

Bai Yan's eyesight is not very good. In the last game, he almost missed the puzzle with the "human seat" printed on it. In the game, sometimes missing a letter can determine the success or failure of a game, so in addition to the one on his eyes, Bai Yan also put a pair of spare glasses into his bag.

After preparing to enter the game, Bai Yan opened the "Hell Front" App and clicked on the icon of the second level.

After waiting for a few minutes, a dizziness suddenly came, and the surrounding scenery changed accordingly.

After recovering from the dizziness, Bai Yan did not rush to look at the changes around him, but unlocked his phone as soon as possible and looked down to check the game prompts this time.

[Successful match]

[Number of players: 8 people]

[Game difficulty: Normal]

[Level description: This round of the game is "Horror Villa". Complete the tasks assigned by the villa owner and survive for seven days successfully to win the game. ]

[Background introduction: You are a fresh graduate who has just graduated from college for a year. In this year, you changed three jobs, and each of them was fired by the boss after the probation period.

Not long ago, you resigned from your previous job and were facing the dilemma of being penniless after paying the rent.

After a week of eating bread, you saw a job ad in the newspaper. You tried to make a phone call and successfully passed the interview.

Now, you are standing in front of the villa. After seven days of work, you will receive a considerable salary, which is enough for you to pay the rent for next month and support you to find the next new job. 】

【Game rules:】

【1. In this round of the game, the player's identity is "housekeeper". Players must complete the tasks assigned by the owner, otherwise they will bear the consequences. 】

【2. Players are not allowed to leave the villa at will without the permission of the villa owner. If they are fired by the owner within seven days, the game will be considered a failure. 】

【3. At five o'clock in the morning of the seventh day (Monday to Sunday at five o'clock in the morning), click the "return" button on the phone to leave the game. 】

Slightly different from the novice level, the world of normal difficulty will increase "background import".

According to old players, in some levels, background import is useless, it just increases the player's sense of substitution and creates a realistic atmosphere.

However, in some levels, the background import can provide key information to the player. Bai Yan couldn't tell which kind of background import this time, so he simply memorized all the prompts of the game, and then turned off his phone and looked around.

Just as the background import introduced, he was indeed standing in front of a European-style villa.

This villa was full of traces of time. The outermost iron door of the villa was damaged, and the outer wall had been in disrepair for a long time, losing its original bright color.

In addition, the outer shell of the villa was covered with creepers. The dense creepers wrapped the villa and climbed all the way to the windows on the second floor, covering most of the windows on the second floor. Bai Yan believed that if these plants were given some more time, they would definitely turn the entire villa into a green ocean.

After generally observing the villa, Bai Yan began to observe the people around him.

Perhaps influenced by that post, Bai Yan was slightly uncomfortable with the inquiring eyes of others.

However, when he was sure that the familiar girl was not among the players of this game, he straightened his back and acted as a good player with no black history and a clean record.

There were eight people in this round of the game, and now they were all standing in front of the villa, waiting for the owner to open the door.

In addition to Bai Yan, there were three women and five men among the eight players. Most of them were wearing professional clothes. Bai Yan could recognize the identities of most people at a glance.

Maids, bodyguards, chefs, and gardeners...

Among them was a woman named An Qing, who had two crutches under her shoulders. Her dress was not obvious, so Bai Yan did not recognize her profession in this round of the game.

However, everyone had a badge with their name on their chest.

Bai Yan's badge had his real name in reality written on it - Bai Yan, which made him feel a little lucky. Fortunately, he did not report his name directly at that time, otherwise he would have seen what hell difficulty was in the second game.

After standing at the door for about five minutes, a tall man in a black suit and sunglasses couldn't help but ask: "We've been standing here for a while, right? When are we going in?"

"My game identity in this game is a bodyguard, my name is Lu Tianyi, let me confirm first, are you all players in the third level?"

"No, I'm in the second level."

"I'm also in the second level."

"...Uh, sorry, I'm in the second level too."

…

"So everyone is a player who has just passed the novice level, except you." Bai Yan concluded.

Everyone's answers were unexpected, which made the big guy scratch his head in confusion: "Well, I thought you were the same players at the same level as me, but I didn't expect you were quite brave enough to dare to match the game in the morning. Generally speaking, novices procrastinate and will never open a game before midnight.”

"I think people who can enter in the morning are very brave, at least they won't be held back by crying, so I chose to match in the morning." A man wearing gardener's clothes and gardening gloves said: "Brother Lu, you have a normal difficulty match Can you tell us about your gaming experience, what’s the difference between normal difficulty and easy difficulty?”

"Isn't it all on this forum? I don't need to talk about it, right?" When asked this question, Lu Tianyi couldn't help but frown, and his face looked a little ugly.

However, after a moment of silence, he still said: "Okay, let me explain briefly, the normal difficulty has an extra 'background import' than the easy difficulty. This 'background import' may play an important role in the game. This You should all know. As for the difference in game content... From my personal experience, normal difficulty is much scarier than easy difficulty."

Speaking of this, Lu Tianyi's voice became much deeper: "There were five people in the last game. Except for me, all the other players died in the game. As the old players on the forum said, in the normal difficulty level , even if you find clues about your way out, if you are unlucky, you will die under the clutches of the devil."

As soon as Lu Tianyi's words came out, everyone fell silent.

Although I have read many tragic examples on forums, hearing real people tell their own experiences in person is a completely different feeling.

After a while, the woman on crutches broke the silence: "Everyone, I think we should exchange information before entering the villa? This game needs to spend seven days in the game, and the focus is on survival and executing the tasks set by the owner of the villa. , we plan in advance and can help each other in the game.”

"Sister, you are right." A simple and honest man wearing a chef's hat said: "My identity is a chef, my name is Zhu Fugui, you can call me Lao Zhu, and I will take care of you in the next few days. Cook some food for everyone.”

"My name is An Qing, and my identity in this round of the game is that of a tutor." The woman with the stick said: "My identity is difficult to identify, but I can guarantee that the clothes I am wearing are not the ones I originally wore. After coming to the game, my original clothes changed into this skirt, which should be the outfit of a tutor. "

"No wonder, I see that your legs and feet are not convenient, so how can you wear such complicated clothes." Lu Tianyi nodded and said, "Same as you, my sunglasses and suit came from this way."

Bai Yan was thoughtful after hearing the conversation between the two. What he is wearing now is not the casual clothes he carefully prepared.

In order to match his identity as a butler, the game matched him with a white shirt and a black tuxedo. He wore a neat bow tie on his collar, and his leather shoes were polished spotlessly and sparkled. Even his glasses were rimmed with silver, making him look like a butler.

While Bai Yan was thinking about the game's purpose of dressing them up and letting them play role-playing games, the introduction continued.

"My name is Su Xiaoqian, and I am a maid."

"Yang Qi, the identity given by the game is cleaning lady."

"My name is Liu Kui, and I'm the driver here."

"Li Hao, gardener."

After everyone else finished their introductions, Bai Yan also introduced briefly: "Bai Yan, his identity is the housekeeper."

Seeing that everyone had finished introducing their identities, Lu Tianyi opened his mouth to say something else, but before he could say anything, the closed door of the villa opened with a creak.
