《I Developed The Zombie Apocalypse And Netizens Went Crazy With Excitement》 Chapter 1 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Su Ping was a fan of novels. However, he had no idea that he would go through the process of transmigrating to a parallel world, as it only happened in stories. A day ago, Su Ping was just a young man who liked staying home and playing games. However, he was now in a world that he was completely unfamiliar with. Su Ping appeared to have inherited the body of another person in the parallel world who shared the same name as him. Meanwhile, Su Ping was playing fondly with the equipment in the bedroom. He recognized the equipment at first sight as soon as he arrived in the parallel world. ¡°Fuck! Isn¡¯t it the immersive VR equipment mentioned in Ready Player One?¡± ¡°Is it possible that this is a parallel world to Earth? Is the technology here more advanced?¡± Su Ping had just tried out the set of equipment, even though he had just tried to play a swimming mini-game. However, Su Ping was utterly amazed by his short experience. It was way too realistic! Su Ping thought he was teleported to the ocean after activating the equipment. Su Ping could feel the coldness of the water flowing around him as if he was in reality. ¡°Let¡¯s see if there are any more entertaining games here!¡± Su Ping started his internet research with the idea in mind. However, Su Ping was soon dumbfounded. After he had done his research, he found that the most popular games here were the same as the ones from his previous life. Such as CSGO, a game with hundreds of millions of users worldwide. Also, LOL, which was popular too. CSGO was almost the same as the game he played in his previous life. The only difference was that he used to play the game with the mouse and keyboard, but now he could play it with the motion-sensing VR. However, the model of the game¡¯s map was made crudely, and the degrees of freedom were extremely low. The playing perspectives were fixed during gameplay, and shooting and walking movements were kept stationary. Su Ping was puzzled and thought, ¡°It¡¯s an immersive game, but why can¡¯t the players move freely in the game?¡± Things were the same when Su Ping played LOL. He had a terrible gaming experience while playing the two games. After Su Ping tried for a few hours, his excitement had gone. He was utterly disappointed with the games in the parallel world. Su Ping thought, ¡°What¡¯s the difference between an immersive game without degrees of freedom and playing games with a mouse and keyboard?¡± ¡°Moreover, the quality of the game¡¯s texture is terrible. How will the players here play such a game?¡± Su Ping was puzzled and thought, ¡°It¡¯s such a waste of good equipment without having high-quality games!¡± As an obsessive gamer in Su Ping¡¯s previous life, he could not accept such a situation! Just as Su Ping¡¯s thoughts grew more assertive, an emotionless voice sounded in his mind. ¡°Ding! Master, congratulations on binding to the God-tier game designer system.¡± System? Su Ping immediately noticed that it was one of the standard plots in novels. Each transmigrator would have a system and the ability to cheat! ¡°Ha ha! Now, I have a system too! Thank God for helping me! Also, it¡¯s a game designer system, right? System, you know me well. ¡± ¡°What did you say about your name? God-tier¡­¡± The system came up with such an exaggerated name. ¡°System, what can you do?¡± ¡°Ding! Hello, master. As the gaming industry in our world is the least developed, please utilize the system¡¯s power to save the gaming industry in our world!¡± ¡°Of all the job sectors, the gaming industry has the lowest status. Even though our world has extremely sophisticated VR equipment, it is primarily used for cloud tourism, online concerts, and other activities.¡± ¡°Using the most sophisticated and compatible physics engine, your system, I can perfectly convert the memories of master¡¯s previous life into game codes, creating the most immersive experience!¡± ¡°Master, you don¡¯t have to worry. You can perfectly complete the game¡¯s production through the game codes as long as you have a bachelor¡¯s degree. Good luck!¡± After the systems¡¯ explanation, Su Ping knew why this world had boring games. The game development companies here were obsessed with pirated games and Gacha mobile games, which made most gamers disappointed in the games. The gaming industry became less developed due to the lack of improvements made by game development companies. Moreover, since other forms of entertainment were even more entertaining than playing games, nobody was willing to pay for games. When the game development companies couldn¡¯t gain profit, they would develop even inferior games, which formed a vicious cycle. Ten years ago, the development of the gaming industry had been stagnant, and nobody was optimistic about the development of the gaming sector. ¡°What a pity! With such advanced technology, countless fantastic worlds could have been made!¡± Su Ping sighed for a while. Then he suddenly became excited. ¡°Can the system directly extract my memory and turn it into game codes?¡± ¡°Does this mean that, in addition to the games I¡¯ve played in my previous life, the dramas and movies I¡¯ve seen can also be made into video games?¡± ¡°Does this mean I can produce many Triple-A masterpieces?¡± Su Ping had watched too many excellent movies and dramas in his previous life! Su Ping immediately thought of several movies that could be perfectly adapted into games. Such as Su Ping¡¯s favorite Resident Evil series, the series about Aliens, the series about Outer Space, and the Land of Silence! He must utilize the system¡¯s power since God granted him the ability to have one! He must develop the gaming industry here! ¡°Let¡¯s start with the Resident Evil series! Let the players know what the end of the world is!¡± ¡°System, please convert the memories of the Resident Evil series from my previous life into game codes!¡± ¡°Got it. Master, please turn on your computer one minute later and enter¡­¡± One minute later, Su Ping opened the folder according to the system¡¯s instructions and found out there was a folder named Resident Evil. Su Ping clicked on the folder, and a series of documents appeared. ¡°Gosh, it¡¯s all done within a minute? It seems that the system is more powerful than I thought!¡± Coincidentally, Su Ping was a computer programmer in his previous life. Also, he had a master¡¯s degree. It was a piece of cake for him to deal with the codes. Meanwhile, Su Ping could imagine the rise of the gaming industry led by him! Since Su Ping had the system, he didn¡¯t need the work that the former Su Ping was doing anymore. Resign! How could a transmigrator who had the system¡¯s power work for others? However, as soon as Su Ping sent his resignation message, he received a call with the name ¡°baby.¡± ¡°Oh my god, this guy has a girlfriend? Both of us were obsessive gamers, but why does he have a girlfriend?¡± ¡°Wait, she¡¯s my girlfriend now¡­ Why does it feel weird?¡± Chapter 2 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Although the girl was now Su Ping¡¯s girlfriend, Su Ping didn¡¯t intend to become a cuckold. Hence, he only treated the girl as a stranger. However, Su Ping had to put on an act to prevent others from noticing his abnormality. As soon as Su Ping picked up the call, he could hear his girlfriend questioning him. ¡°Did something happen to you? Your boss just told me you resigned and asked me to find out what happened.¡± ¡°What the heck had happened?¡± Su Ping assumed the former Su Ping must have filled in his girlfriend¡¯s phone number as the emergency contact. Therefore, Su Ping told his girlfriend about his plan to join the gaming industry and produce games. When Su Ping finished speaking, his girlfriend immediately objected to his plans. ¡°Are you nuts? You quit a job with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 Yuan in order to pursue game development?¡± ¡°You¡¯re just a computer programmer. What kind of games can you produce? Moreover, no one wants to work in the gaming industry. Are you crazy?!¡± ¡°Hurry up! Go and explain the situation to your boss. Don¡¯t lose your job!¡± Just as the system described, the gaming industry was despised by the public. The situation was completely different from his previous life, where the gaming industry was at the peak of its development and profited from all sorts of Gacha mobile games. After all, there wasn¡¯t any VR equipment in his previous life. Hence, mobile games became popular. Su Ping immediately explained, ¡°I¡¯m serious. I¡¯ve made my decision after careful consideration.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already thought about the game I¡¯m going to produce. Trust me! I¡¯ll create a high-quality game and make a lot of money!¡± Although Su Ping tried his best to explain the situation, people still deeply misunderstood the gaming industry. His girlfriend immediately expressed her thoughts. ¡°I don¡¯t care! If you insist on quitting your job to play games, don¡¯t contact me anymore!¡± ¡°Su Ping, we are no longer young. I have to consider my future!¡± Su Ping didn¡¯t respond to his girlfriend¡¯s strong objection. His soul was totally unrelated to the woman on the phone. Since his girlfriend was unwilling to believe him, he didn¡¯t intend to become a cuckold. As a result, they broke up without any hesitation. Soon, Su Ping forgot about the woman after he hung up the phone. Later, Su Ping received more calls from his friends and family. Everyone was trying to persuade him. However, he wouldn¡¯t change his mind, of course. Su Ping believed that they would understand him in the future! To save money, Su Ping had to stay at home and work non-stop to deal with the codes given by the system. Su Ping had to turn the codes into a game! After a month of hard work, on the 32nd afternoon of the transmigration to the parallel world¡­ Su Ping put down the mouse in relief. When he saw the game icon his work had resulted in, he couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°Finally! It¡¯s done! I¡¯ll call you the Zombie Apocalypse!¡± The Zombie Apocalypse had many icons. It could be classified from version 1 to version 6. The game¡¯s plot corresponded to the first through sixth seasons of the Resident Evil series. Su Ping planned to release the six games separately. After all, each game could be considered an independent plot. Moreover, Su Ping could gauge the market¡¯s response by releasing the game¡¯s first version. If the reaction was terrible, he could still improve the other versions in time to avoid paying a terrible price. However, while Su Ping was working on the Zombie Apocalypse game, one of the leading game development companies, Storm Gaming Company, was promoting its new game on the internet. It was a zombie open-world game called Apocalypse Tomorrow. The theme of Apocalypse Tomorrow was to let players survive in the apocalyptic world. By establishing colonies and purchasing more robust equipment, players could survive longer. During the publicity, the game was known as the hope of the gaming industry. It was said to have hundreds of millions of Yuan of investments and was a high-quality game that could change the market structure of the gaming industry! The announcement received an enthusiastic response. Most people were looking forward to the official open beta of Apocalypse Tomorrow. Even an account of the beta test server could be sold for hundreds of Yuan! Su Ping started looking for a way to promote his game the day after it was produced to get more players interested. However, Su Ping lacked promotion funds. Moreover, most streamers had received orders from the Storm Gaming Company for commercial work. Since the theme of Su Ping¡¯s game overlapped with the theme of Apocalypse Tomorrow, the streamers would definitely decline Su Ping¡¯s request. In the end, Su Ping could only find a streamer named Angelica, who provided relatively low-cost service and hadn¡¯t received any orders from the Storm Gaming Company to live stream playing his game. Fortunately, Angelica was one of the famous streamers. Even though Su Ping could only find a streamer to promote his game, he was enthusiastic. Moreover, Su Ping emptied his savings account even if he only found one streamer to promote his game. ¡°I¡¯ve already wired the money to you. We¡¯ve made a deal, so please remember to play my game on your live stream!¡± Su Ping sent a message to remind her since he was worried. ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m a trustworthy person.¡± ¡°However, I am curious about the situation. Your game seems to overlap highly with Apocalypse Tomorrow. Is this really alright?¡± ¡°Besides, Apocalypse Tomorrow and your game¡¯s open beta are scheduled for the same day¡­ Please pardon me for saying this, but you might be doomed.¡± Su Ping answered Angelica¡¯s reminder with a smile. ¡°Ha ha! Thank you for your concern, but I believe all that glitters is not gold, but gold will glitter forever.¡± ¡°I certainly believe in the impact of your live stream. As long as the game is good enough, you won¡¯t have to worry about anyone not playing it!¡± After a while, Angelica replied. ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right. I¡¯m more interested in your game now.¡± Finally, it was time for the open beta test of the game. Steam was the most prominent gaming platform in the world, and most of the games would be released on the platform. Since Apocalypse Tomorrow was having its open beta test on the same day, in addition to the impact of its publicity, most of the netizens were discussing the game content. People were looking forward to the official release of Apocalypse Tomorrow, which caused nobody to notice that a game called Zombie Apocalypse was released. The number of downloads remained at zero. During the evening, Angelica turned on her live stream just as usual. As soon as her live stream started, many viewers commented and asked Angelica whether she wanted to play Apocalypse Tomorrow. The viewers even began to urge her to download the game! However, when Angelica opened Steam and downloaded the Zombie Apocalypse game, the comments in the live stream became chaotic. [Host, what are you doing? It isn¡¯t Apocalypse Tomorrow. It¡¯s Zombie Apocalypse. You downloaded the wrong game!] [Host, stop downloading. It¡¯s disrespectful to other games if you downloaded such a trashy game!] [Wait, Zombie Apocalypse seems to have its open beta test today.] [It¡¯s so disgusting! How is such a garbage game created by a tiny game development studio trying to racketeer with Apocalypse Tomorrow?] The live stream was filled with dissatisfied comments. Chapter 3 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Soon, Angelica noticed the chaos in the comment section and immediately responded. ¡°Dear viewers, I think you¡¯ve misunderstood me. I was going to play Zombie Apocalypse, so I¡¯m downloading the right game.¡± The live stream was filled with even more dissatisfied comments as soon as Angelica explained the situation. [What? Are you kidding me? You¡¯re going to play such a trashy game?] [Zombie Apocalypse? What the heck is that? It sounds like some kind of trashy game with an exaggerated name.] [That¡¯s right. Host, please change to another game. If you insist on not playing Apocalypse Tomorrow, I¡¯ll watch another streamer¡¯s live stream and unsubscribe you!] [Guys, let¡¯s go and watch another streamer¡¯s live stream! It¡¯s boring here! The host just wants to earn money!] As Angelica saw a decrease in the number of views, she didn¡¯t expect such a situation would happen. However, Angelica had to keep her word since she had received Su Ping¡¯s money. Fortunately, many rational fans continued watching the live stream, and some were curious about Zombie Apocalypse. Therefore, many people chose to continue watching the live stream. Angelica quickly put on her equipment and said with a smile. ¡°The game has started. Dear viewers, please watch carefully. I heard from the producer that it¡¯s a scary game!¡± The comment section was filled with disapproved comments. [Geez, the game is terrifying? I can imagine how boring this game will be.] [I agree. Horror games are just about dark backgrounds and monsters suddenly appearing to scare people. There¡¯s no plot or anything special. Also, the fighting segment will be boring.] [Sigh, I don¡¯t understand why the host wants to play such a game. It¡¯s a waste of time!] [It¡¯s normal since she wants to earn money.] Angelica ignored the comments. In the blink of an eye, she entered the game. However, the game didn¡¯t start immediately. Instead, it began to show an animation of the story¡¯s plot. Angelica thought, ¡°How could a small workshop create a CG animation for a game?¡± ¡°Wait, why is everything in the animation seem so real?¡± The plot of the animation was the opening scene of Resident Evil season one. Angelica saw a man operating a robotic arm to collect some metal cans in an underground laboratory. The animation explained the background of the game to the players. At the same time, it revealed some information so the players could get hints while playing in the next stage. Thus, it could increase the player¡¯s game experience. [Damn! The game looks interesting! Although I¡¯m confused by the plot¡¯s animation, the graphics look real!] [I agree. It feels like I¡¯m really in this place. It¡¯s like watching a movie!] [I remembered that a person produced Zombie Apocalypse all by himself. Am I right? Isn¡¯t the quality too high?] The high-quality opening scene animation immediately turned the mood in the comment section. In this era, people could use VR to watch live streams to experience everything on the internet immersively. Finally, the plot¡¯s animation ended. Later, the character Alice, played by Angelica, just woke up in the bathroom¡¯s bathtub. She was alone in the bathroom. The white curtain separated the bathtub from the outside world. Alice shivered when she touched the cold bathtub. ¡°It¡¯s so cold!¡± Meanwhile, some viewers noticed that Angelica wasn¡¯t in a fixed perspective. The viewers also noticed that Angelica could turn her head around to look in any direction and even control her body to do different actions! It was completely different from the other games, where the characters¡¯ movements were kept stationary. [Oh my God! It¡¯s a story-driven game where the characters can move freely?] [I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any game produced by the Storm Gaming Company that provides such high degrees of freedom, right?] [Thank god I didn¡¯t leave just now! I believe that it might not be inferior to Apocalypse Tomorrow!] Angelica left the bathroom and found a red dress on the bed. Then, she put on the dress. Meanwhile, Angelica realized that she was in a mansion. It seemed like the mansion wasn¡¯t located in the city since it was quiet all around. Based on her experience, Angelica started to search every room in the mansion to get more hints. A black shadow suddenly passed as Angelica walked around the mansion. The gust of cold wind made her shiver. However, when Angelica turned around, she realized nobody was behind her. There was just a corridor behind her. [Ha ha! This game seems like reality. I think Angelica is almost scared to death!] [Although the game looks easy to play, the atmosphere is creepy indeed!] Angelica kept encouraging herself to continue searching for hints. Angelica saw a note and a photo of Alice and a boy who seemed to be her boyfriend. As Angelica entered the living room, a pair of hands suddenly reached out and hugged her. Before Angelica understood the situation, the glass beside the wall suddenly shattered. A group of Special Forces in their uniforms descended from the sky and immediately surrounded them. Angelica thought, ¡°What happened? Isn¡¯t it a horror game?¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on? It¡¯s a murder mystery game?¡± The situation dumbfounded Angelica. She could only raise her hands obediently while facing the guns. Meanwhile, one of the Special Forces took off his mask. He was the captain of the team. Angelica was clueless while facing the captain¡¯s questions. All she could do was claim that she had lost her memory and ask the Special Forces not to kill her. The captain stopped asking questions. Instead, he and his team members brought Alice and the man who attacked Alice to the mansion¡¯s basement. There was a railway that led to an unknown place. After getting on the train, the captain explained the situation to Alice. Angelica and the live stream room viewers just realized that the game¡¯s plot was so complicated that the background story needed to be explained! [So Alice, the character the host is playing, really has amnesia? Is she the staff member of this mansion?] [The Umbrella Corporation? The name sounds peculiar.] [It seems like the mansion is just a spot for beginners. It¡¯s meant for people to familiarize themselves with the background and plot.] [According to my gaming experience, The Hive must be the key to the game!] [Why aren¡¯t there any zombies yet? I want to see zombies!] Meanwhile, no one was urging the host to play another game in the comment section. The high-quality scenes from Zombie Apocalypse attracted new viewers who¡¯d just joined the live stream room to continue watching. As the viewers who¡¯d watched the live stream from the beginning explained the situation, they were soon immersed in the Zombie Apocalypse. There were even viewers urging Angelica to drive the train faster so that they could enter The Hive to start the next stage of the plot. Angelica had a rough idea of the situation in The Hive after talking with the Special Forces on the train. Angelica¡¯s live stream became the unique live stream of the day. She was the only streamer who didn¡¯t play Apocalypse Tomorrow during her live stream. Chapter 4 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Meanwhile, Apocalypse Tomorrow, which opened its server, attracted numerous players. Within just a few hours after the server opened, Apocalypse Tomorrow had reached 1 million users. The theme of the game was surviving in the apocalyptic world. A sudden biohazard crisis had turned 99% of the citizens into bloodthirsty monsters. The other 1% of citizens struggled to survive in a world full of monsters. Players had to kill monsters with their characters to upgrade their levels, obtaining more robust equipment to build their homes. Players also need to work hard on expanding the scope of control of their homeland to survive in the apocalypse. Usually, these games relied on collecting equipment or players making their equipment themselves. Most players played the game with the same thought, but they soon found that the game was completely different from what they had imagined! [What the heck is this? Why are we picking up trash in the city? The most powerful weapon I can get for free is just a knife? Are you kidding me? Where¡¯s the gun? Where¡¯s the bolt?] [Darn it! Top-up 30 yuan to get a USP pistol? Storm Gaming Company is crazy about money, huh? The point is that I might not be able to kill the zombie even if I shoot the zombie¡¯s head with it!] [It¡¯s disgusting. Isn¡¯t it a game with high degrees of freedom? Isn¡¯t it an open world? How are we supposed to play with a world full of trash? Where is the open world?] [Refund! It¡¯s a publicity scam. I was too naive to believe that Storm Gaming Company would make a good game!] Soon, the forum was filled with curses against the Storm Gaming Company. As the saying goes, the higher the expectation, the higher the disappointment. Storm Gaming Company¡¯s overwhelming publicity attracted worldwide players¡¯ attention. However, it also caused players to have high expectations of the game. In the end, the game showed its true colors when it was officially released. Every powerful piece of equipment had to be purchased! The so-called open world with high degrees of freedom was just a piece of crap. It was just a promotional concept that cheated people into purchasing equipment while playing games! As for surviving the apocalypse? You could survive everywhere if you were rich! As long as you had topped up enough money, you could even get planes and tanks on the first day of the server¡¯s opening. Except for the flaws in the way the game was played, the quality of Apocalypse Tomorrow¡¯s graphics also disappointed the netizens. It was obvious that the model of the game scene was crudely made. There were stickers everywhere and numerous bugs while playing the game. Many players were killed by monsters and lost their experience points when they accidentally triggered the bugs. Players started to refuse to play such a game after having a terrible gaming experience. Even the streamers who the Storm Gaming Company was paying for promotion had trouble playing the game. They had to play the game as entertainingly as possible since they had received money from the Storm Gaming Company. However, the live stream was filled with curses and nasty comments. Some viewers were urging the host to change the game as soon as possible, saying they would unsubscribe the host if they insisted on playing Apocalypse Tomorrow! [Is there anything fun about this stupid game? You had better continue to stream LOL. Although LOL is an old game, its graphic is much better than this!] [That¡¯s right! Host, hurry up and change the game. Otherwise, we¡¯ll switch to another room to watch the live stream!] [Sigh. Nowadays, it¡¯s hard for streamers to make money. You still need to play the game as entertainingly as possible even though it¡¯s a piece of shit.] Meanwhile, a comment suddenly appeared in the comment section of the live stream room. [Hey guys, I¡¯ve just watched Angelica¡¯s live stream and found that she seems to be playing a zombie open-world game called Zombie Apocalypse. Does any of you heard of it?] [Zombie Apocalypse? Is it an indie game? What can a small development team do even when the Storm Gaming Company can¡¯t produce exciting games?] [I¡¯ve just watched Angelica¡¯s live stream too! Zombie Apocalypse seems to be an exciting game. Let¡¯s not talk about it anymore. I¡¯m going to watch it since the game now explains the story¡¯s plot!] [Eh? Is it really that attractive? I¡¯ll go and take a look too!] Similar comments appeared in the comment sections of many streamers. Most of them thought Zombie Apocalypse was a boring game. They didn¡¯t have any expectations for the game. However, they were more disappointed with Apocalypse Tomorrow. People joined Angelica¡¯s live-streaming room one after another to see whether Zombie Apocalypse was inferior to Apocalypse Tomorrow. From tens of thousands of viewers, Angelica¡¯s live stream has now received hundreds of thousands of viewers! Only the top streamers could achieve such a number of views on the platform. Meanwhile, Angelica controlled Alice and followed the Special Forces to The Hive in the game. Soon, the Special Forces cracked the door¡¯s password with their computers. Then, everyone entered The Hive. Inside The Hive, it was silent as death. Angelica could hear nothing. It was completely different from the description of a laboratory with thousands of employees. Since it was underground, the icy wind occasionally came out of the ventilation pipes! Additionally, in the presence of the advanced physical engine, Angelica couldn¡¯t help but hug her arms to stay warm. ¡°We are still clueless about what happened here. The Red Queen suddenly activated the defense mechanisms of the laboratory and locked it down after killing everyone!¡± ¡°Hence, our goal is to shut down the laboratory¡¯s artificial intelligence control system, The Red Queen!¡± As they entered, the captain explained the mission to Alice, Matt, and the others. As the crowd went inside, they passed by a place storing formalin tanks. The viewers widened their eyes as they saw human bodies filled in the formalin tanks. [Are there people floating in these jars? Am I right?] [Gosh, the game seems interesting. It¡¯s very detailed.] [Jesus! Did you guys just see someone in the jar move his fingers? It¡¯s so scary!] [This is how a horror game should be! It¡¯s much more interesting than games that only scare players with ghosts!] Meanwhile, a black-and-white plot animation suddenly popped up. The animation showed a man and a woman making out in a room. Obviously, the woman was Alice, the character played by Angelica. As for the man, the viewers were shocked when they saw his appearance and thought, ¡°Wasn¡¯t he the other man with an unknown name on the team?¡± What was his relationship with Alice? Soon, the audience was surprised by the 18+ rated animation. [Damn, is this something I can watch for free?] [I didn¡¯t expect the game to have 18+ rated scenes. It seems so real!] [Ha ha! The game looks much more exciting than Apocalypse Tomorrow merely with this scene!] [Everyone, please don¡¯t mention Apocalypse Tomorrow anymore. It¡¯s a trashy game!] [I agree! The Zombie Apocalypse is the hope of our gaming industry, with no doubts!] Chapter 5 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Finally, the crowd arrived at a control room in the underground laboratory. After passing through a short hallway, they would reach the Red Queen¡¯s main server room. To finish the mission, they had to install the signal jammer and turn off the Red Queen. [If the game ends just by turning off the Red Queen, isn¡¯t that too fast? I didn¡¯t even get to see any zombies!] [How will the game end so quickly? The game has just started!] [I have a feeling that something terrifying is going to happen!] [Host, look! The hallway¡¯s door has opened. Hurry up and follow them!] With the viewer¡¯s reminder, Angelica immediately followed them and walked into the hallway. However, the hallway¡¯s door behind her slammed shut the moment she entered. No matter what she did, she couldn¡¯t open the door. ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on! Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯ll find a way to open the door!¡± The technician sitting in front of the computer outside spoke anxiously through the communication channel. A laser appeared at the end of the hallway in the blink of an eye. Moreover, the laser had accelerated its approach to them! Everyone knew that if the laser hit someone¡¯s body, the person would definitely die! ¡°Hurry up! There¡¯s something wrong with the hallway!¡± The Special Forces captain¡¯s voice sounded in the communication channel. Angelica immediately pulled herself together and nervously faced the laser getting closer to her. Angelica quickly lay on the ground, and the laser beam almost brushed over her back. The laser beam made Angelica feel like it had brushed her hair away. [Hiss! It¡¯s so exciting! I knew the game wouldn¡¯t be that easy!] [I believe that the following stages will be even more challenging. Can Angelica make it through?] [Hehe! I¡¯m just waiting for Angelica to die in the game!] [I bet Angelica won¡¯t make it through this with 10 dollars!] Meanwhile, Angelica couldn¡¯t read the comments because the second laser came right to her after the first laser disappeared! This time, there was more than a laser beam. A horizontal and vertical laser beam divided the space into four equal sections. Angelica had to stick to the wall with her petite body to avoid the laser beam. However, there is a muscular guy on the team who is unlucky. Although he had tried his best to stick to the wall, his muscles were too large. In the end, he was still cut open by the laser and lost his stomach. The entire hallway was filled with the sweet, metallic smell of blood. Meanwhile, some of the muscular guy¡¯s organs were still squirming. Angelica retched with disgust since she had never seen such a scene before. However, a new challenge arrived before the crisis was over. This time, laser beams filled the lower half of the hallway. Luckily, there were some handles on the roof of the hallway. Players could make it through by controlling their bodies while gripping the handles. The moment the laser was about to disappear, it suddenly shifted upward and split one of the members in half. Once again, another person had died. It put everyone in deep fear. Angelica was so tired that she panted while she landed on the ground. Everyone in the live-streaming room held their breath, and nobody was sending comments. Everyone was staring at the end of the hallway, waiting for the appearance of another laser. In the end, only one laser beam appeared in front of everyone. The players who were still alive, Angelica and the captain of the Special Forces, heaved a sigh of relief together. [Jesus! The creator of the game is still rational. This stage should be considered a minigame for the players to relax.] [Gosh! The hallway is terrifying! I think I¡¯m going to have a nightmare tonight!] [I agree. The feeling of watching the Grim Reaper use a sickle to cut you is terrifying!] [Hiss! Something is weird. Guys, have a look! The number of laser beams is increasing!] [Damn it, the game¡¯s producer must be a demon!] [Fuck!] Meanwhile, Angelica¡¯s eyes were wide open, just like the viewers in the live-streaming room. She unbelievingly looked at the laser as it turned into a large laser net after a transformation! Each grid was as small as a human palm. How could Angelica and the captain of the Special Forces make it through? Angelica and the Special Forces captain could only try to get as close as possible to the other end of the hallway while Angelica stuck her back close to the door. The Special Forces captain urged the people outside to crack the door password as he stood in front of Angelica. Finally! The technician outside hit the Enter key. ¡°Done!¡± The technician shouted. However, the laser didn¡¯t immediately disappear in the hallway. Instead, it moved forward for a distance. The laser¡¯s centimeter-sized movements precisely split the Special Forces captain¡¯s body. The Special Forces captain had disintegrated into pieces of meat scattered across the ground. The floor was covered in his blood. This time, Angelica couldn¡¯t hold it anymore and started vomiting non-stop in the game. Due to the intense emotional swings, even her physical form was slightly trembling in reality. Finally, the door was opened. However, Angelica was the only survivor. Entering a small hallway cost the Special Forces, who were fully armed, dearly. They might have been dead if the entire team had gone in simultaneously. When Angelica returned to the control room, she couldn¡¯t help but tremble while sitting on the ground. Although it was just a game, she couldn¡¯t help but be in deep fear due to its realism. Meanwhile, the situation lightened up the mood of the viewers in the live-streaming room. [Jesus! This game is fantastic! I¡¯m willing to name this hallway the Dreadful Hallway!] [It¡¯s hard to imagine the game producer¡¯s state of mind during the game¡¯s development!] [Gosh! It¡¯s bizarre and scary, but it¡¯s exciting! It¡¯s way more exciting than other horror games!] [When will the host recover? I¡¯m worried that Angelica will stop playing due to fear!] [Host, hurry up and move forward. You¡¯ve rested long enough!] Angelica, who had a pale face, spoke after being prodded by the viewers. ¡°Are you guys trying to kill me? I won¡¯t go back into that hallway!¡± The viewers immediately laughed at Angelica¡¯s reaction. An upbeat mood pervaded the live-streaming room. [Haha! What a coward!] [Since it can scare Angelica to death, it¡¯s indeed a horror game!] Even so, Angelica had to continue the live streaming to support her living, despite her words to the contrary. At last, Angelica mustered her courage and followed the rest of the team members into the main server room. Later, she installed the signal jammer and prepared to turn off the Red Queen. Chapter 6 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Soon, the signal jammer was installed successfully. Angelica would complete the mission if she pressed the remote control button to forcefully turn off the main server. However, a holographic projection device installed on the mainframe suddenly started working. Later, the image of a little girl in a red skirt appeared on the holographic projection. ¡°You can¡¯t shut me off. It will lead to a disaster!¡± Angelica couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°Why did you kill everyone in the underground laboratory? Why did you seal this place? You¡¯re the murderer!¡± ¡°Now, we¡¯re going to shut you down and end this!¡± The Red Queen looked at Angelica coldly and began talking about the incident in the underground laboratory. The Red Queen¡¯s words were connected in the animation¡¯s opening scene, which the viewers saw. Finally, they discovered what the man at the console had done. It turned out that the man was the culprit. Everything was caused by the tube of reagent he casually threw away. The viewers gained a sense of satisfaction when the truth was suddenly revealed. [I see. The virus in the reagent tube triggered the defense system.] [The game¡¯s plot is pretty good. It has a complete storyline. Moreover, the plot animation is realistic. Which company made the game?] [Who is the developer of the game?] [Although I agree with the AI, if we don¡¯t shut her down, does that mean we won¡¯t be able to continue the following stages?] In the game, Angelica hesitated about turning the Red Queen off after listening to her persuasion. Suddenly, a prompt appeared in front of her, reminding her to pick up the remote control and press the button to continue to the next scene. Just as the viewers¡¯ predictions said, it was a question with only an answer. Angelica decisively pressed the button, and the lights in the main server room began to turn off. As the Red Queen was about to disappear, she looked at Angelica and said firmly. ¡°You are going to die down here!¡± Then, the Red Queen was shut down, and Angelica had no idea what would happen next. She could only follow the Special Forces back the way they came and meet up with the people outside. When the crowd came to a place filled with iron cans, they heard the sounds of someone strolling. Later, an employee wearing ragged clothes with wounds around his body slowly walked toward the crowd. Angelica and the Special Forces grabbed their weapons and immediately aimed them at the employee. They warned the employee. ¡°Stay still!¡± However, the employee continued approaching them as if he had ignored the warning. ¡°Bang!¡± One of the Special Forces fired his gun, but it seemed the employee wasn¡¯t affected by it. He was bulletproof! [It¡¯s here! The zombies are finally here! I¡¯ve been waiting for so long!] [Finally! The zombies are here. The Zombie Apocalypse has started!] [Although the zombies appeared late, it¡¯s understandable. After all, the plot needs to be foreshadowed!] [Haha! It¡¯s finally time to fight the zombies. Host, good luck!] Then, more and more employees appeared and surrounded Angelica and the others. Meanwhile, everyone noticed that these employees were no longer humans. The Special Forces started to be ruthless. They aimed and shot at the employees in front of them with their guns. However, the zombies were bulletproof. As NPCs, it was obvious that the Special Forces were clueless about zombies¡¯ weaknesses. With only Angelica¡¯s efficient kill, it was impossible to exterminate the zombies quickly. In the end, Angelica and the Special Forces retreated and came to an elevator door. ¡°There is a hacker among you, right? Open the elevator. We¡¯ll take the elevator and leave!¡± The technician responded to Angelica¡¯s yell by pulling out a data cable, connecting it to the elevator control panel, and turning it on. ¡°Done!¡± Everyone was excited when they heard the technician¡¯s words. However, they found out the elevator was filled with zombies when it opened. Nobody ever thought that the elevator would be dangerous. One of the Special Forces standing close to the elevator was immediately dragged into the elevator by countless hands. Angelica quickly asked the Special Forces to close the elevator door again as they heard a heartbreaking cry. However, she felt creepy while thinking back about the desperate look in the eyes of the Special Forces while the zombies dragged him into the elevator. Viewers in the live-streaming room discussed the terrifying scene in the comments section. [Fuck! Isn¡¯t this game too realistic? I even thought the host was watching a movie instead of playing games!] [This must be the most realistic VR game ever! The other games are just like trash when compared with this game!] [This game should be 18+ or 20+ rated. As for people who have just reached adulthood, their mental health might be affected by playing this game themselves!] [The game producer must have some kind of repulsive addiction. The Laser Hallway and the elevator are horrifying!] [I don¡¯t dare watch the live stream anymore. It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve been horrified by the plot of a horror game!] As the person playing the game, Angelica was even more horrified than the viewers. She was unwilling to continue the game anymore. Besides, she had been live-streaming and playing the game for a while. She had barely fulfilled her promise to Su Ping. It wouldn¡¯t be a breach of contract if she stopped playing now. ¡°Dear viewers, this game is nightmarish. I¡¯m afraid that I can¡¯t play it anymore. Why don¡¯t we end playing Zombie Apocalypse and change to another game?¡± As soon as Angelica finished her words, the comment section in the live-streaming room became chaotic. [What? Are you telling me you want to give up on playing it? Then wouldn¡¯t we have watched your live-streaming for nothing? No, you can¡¯t do this!] [How can you give up halfway? Brothers and sisters, let¡¯s send more gifts to motivate the host to continue playing!] [I¡¯m sending the gifts! I¡¯ll treat it as contributing to the host¡¯s mental health compensation!] [Angelica, there¡¯s no reason for you to stop playing Zombie Apocalypse now, right? Won¡¯t you feel sorry to stop playing the game while everyone sends you so many gifts?] Although Angelica was highly unwilling to continue the game, she compromised with the viewer¡¯s request. Her fans usually supported her decisions, but they didn¡¯t speak up for her in this situation. It seemed that she had to finish the game. Angelica gritted her teeth and continued the game. She began searching for a way out of the laboratory with the other Special Forces members. In the chaos, Angelica lost connection with the Special Forces and came to a completely unfamiliar place. Chapter 7 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Angelica became more careful since she suddenly had to complete the mission alone. She tried to move her character carefully to prevent making any sound. However, when Angelica came to the corner of the hallway, she encountered a zombie dog with horrible wounds around its body. To be precise, the dog¡¯s body was completely rotten. Angelica could only see a few pieces of rotten meat hanging on its skeleton. However, the appearance of its sharp fangs and scarlet eyes was threatening. The appearance of the zombie dog lightened up the atmosphere in the live stream room. [What is this? Is that a dog infected with the zombie virus? I can¡¯t believe that the game has such a setting!] [Wow! It¡¯s my first time seeing such an opponent in a zombie game. The game creator is full of creativity!] [This game has undoubtedly set a new record. Not just humans will be affected by the zombie virus!] [Hehe! What do you guys think Angelica will do? Will she run away or fight with the zombie dog?] Angelica had no other choice since all eyes were on her. She couldn¡¯t outrun the zombie dog, making it impossible for her to return the way she came. Meanwhile, Angelica saw the laboratory door next to her wide open. Thus, she jumped in before the zombie dog approached her. Angelica then slammed the door shut. Angelica could hear the zombie dog slam into the metal door. The room shook when it hit the door, which made Angelica¡¯s heart tremble while she panted. ¡°Damn! Isn¡¯t the game too realistic? I can¡¯t stand it anymore. The dog is too scary!¡± ¡°What should I do? I don¡¯t even dare to go out now. How can I meet up with those NPCs?¡± Angelica leaned against the door of the laboratory and said helplessly. The viewers started to laugh at Angelica¡¯s reactions in the comment section. The game appeared to be less frightening because of the upbeat atmosphere. However, everyone had no idea about the repulsive addition of the game producer. The game didn¡¯t give Angelica any time to catch her breath. Angelica had only rested for a few seconds. She was about to get up and explore the laboratory. As Angelica raised her head, a stinky zombie pounced on her. She was frightened and screamed in fear. The zombie¡¯s sudden attack and Angelica¡¯s fear made the viewers in the live stream room approve of the game. [It¡¯s a good game, indeed. I don¡¯t think the host is faking her fear.] [I just watched one of the live stream rooms playing Apocalypse Tomorrow. The live streamers who accepted the business order are disgusting when they pretend to be afraid to entertain their bosses.] [Brothers and sisters, let¡¯s promote this game to everyone! We should let more people know about Zombie Apocalypse to prevent them from wasting time on Apocalypse Tomorrow!] More people became aware that there was a game similar to Apocalypse Tomorrow as the viewers in Angelica¡¯s live stream room started to promote Zombie Apocalypse. On the internet, Zombie Apocalypse gained enormous popularity. The Storm Gaming Company¡¯s numerous advertisements purchased to promote Apocalypse Tomorrow were now contributing to Zombie Apocalypse. Numerous players who were disappointed in Apocalypse Tomorrow were willing to watch Angelica¡¯s live stream to find out why people recommended Zombie Apocalypse. On the other side, Angelica seemed to be used in the game. She could make an immediate response while facing the sudden appearance of zombies. Suddenly, Angelica gave the zombie a tornado kick on its head to kick it away. The head of the unlucky zombie was kicked roughly and hit the corner of an experiment table. With a thump, the zombie lost its ability to move. The viewers were all stunned by the scene. Immersive VR games were different from playing games with a mouse and keyboard. Players couldn¡¯t use all kinds of skills with just a mouse click and a keyboard tap. The immersive games require the player to control their body to fight! Was Angelica a hidden martial arts expert? Angelica was dumbfounded by the situation too. She knew she wasn¡¯t as able to fight as she was just now. ¡°I got it! The game producer might have developed a brand new immersive game!¡± ¡°In the game, danger can trigger the character¡¯s immediate response. So, I¡¯ve just made a move that the character I¡¯m playing knows!¡± Angelica¡¯s words immediately caused a sensation in the live-streaming room. [That¡¯s incredible! Does that mean anyone can become an expert in the game?] [Would I become a marksman if I played a shooting game?] [Who¡¯s the producer of the game? Does he produce any other games too? Good games can¡¯t be unknown!] [No one knows. The game producer seems to be a mysterious person. People are guessing he¡¯s a game producer at one of the main gaming companies. However, no one knows his real identity.] As the live streaming room¡¯s viewers argued about the game producer¡¯s identity, Angelica continued to move in the game. Angelica overcame the discomfort and took a gun from the zombie¡¯s corpse. The zombie¡¯s identification tag allowed Angelica to determine that it was once a security department employee. Thus, she checked on it and collected a gun. Suddenly, the glass of the laboratory broke. The zombie dog, which was blocked outside, forced its way inside. However, Angelica was much calmer while facing such a situation. Angelica held her gun tightly and took advantage of the time the zombie dog went into the laboratory to change her position. Angelica opened the door and walked out of the lab. Then she locked the zombie dog in the laboratory! [Haha! Angelica is brilliant!] [Our host seems different! I¡¯m so scared of her!] [Host, you¡¯re sly as a fox!] [Host, why are you doing that to such a cute puppy?] Angelica was going to show off her intelligence to the viewers who were watching the live stream. However, Angelica heard the sound of nails on the ground from the corner of the hallway. Angelica was shocked, and her face instantly turned pale with just one look. A pack of zombie dogs was quietly looking at her in the hallway. The zombie dogs looked at her provokingly. Everyone instantly recognized it as a provocative move by the game¡¯s producer. Angelica couldn¡¯t help but curse, ¡°The game producer is fucking crazy! You won¡¯t stop until you get what you want, huh? You¡¯ll only be satisfied if the players are eaten alive by the zombie dogs, huh?¡± ¡°I bet the game producer must have some repulsive addiction! It¡¯s disgusting!¡± Chapter 8 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Even so, Angelica held her weapon and prepared for a fight, despite her words to the contrary. [Haha! The game producer is indeed an interesting person. He won¡¯t stop until he gets what he wants!] [Poor Angelica! She can¡¯t handle so many zombie dogs at the same time!] [If you are under the age of 18, please leave the live stream room immediately. The following scene is not suitable for children to watch!] [I strongly suspect the game¡¯s age limit should be higher than 25!] Soon, the battle started. Since dogs differed from zombies, the zombie dogs almost pounced on Angelica simultaneously. However, Angelica once again triggered the immediate response of the character while facing danger. Angelica triggered the combat skills of Alice, a security guard who worked for the Umbrella Corporation. The way that Angelica moved and applied her strength was flawless. Angelica killed the zombie dogs with her kicks. Soon, some zombie dogs¡¯ corpses were lying around on the ground. Meanwhile, Angelica used both her hands and feet. She pulled the trigger of the gun and shot the zombie dogs¡¯ heads, killing them one after another while kicking the zombie dogs. Finally, the bodies of the zombie dogs covered the ground, and Angelica wasn¡¯t injured. Although Angelica had used up a few bullets and was exhausted, she had perfectly defeated all the zombie dogs. The live-stream viewers were all stunned by the situation. They expressed their shock while cheering in the comments. [The game¡¯s design is truly unique! The player doesn¡¯t have many chances to fight the zombies, but the game lets the players fight with a pack of zombie dogs.] [I have to say that the battle is indeed thrilling. It was way more interesting than fighting with zombies slowly.] [Is this the Angelica I know? When did she become so powerful? If she continues to fight like an expert, I won¡¯t dare to mess with her at the next fan meeting.] [There¡¯s nothing to be afraid of, okay? Angelica can only use her combat skills in the game. In reality, she¡¯s still the cute girl we¡¯re familiar with!] After getting rid of numerous zombie dogs, Angelica walked to a huge office. It seemed to be where a large group of employees worked daily. The room was filled with office tables and computers. Also, countless documents were scattered on the table and the floor. It was clear how panicked, terrified, and helpless the people were when trapped inside. However, nobody seemed to be in the office at the moment. Everyone in the office had turned into zombies and escaped after the Red Queen was turned off. Angelica heard a man panting. She ran over and found that a female zombie was pressing down a man named Matt, one of the NPCs. Matt was in close contact with the female zombie. He was trying his best to stop the female zombie from biting him. [It¡¯s so exciting! What a beautiful and sexy zombie! I like her!] [Stop it. Are you on your mind? How can you be interested in zombies!] [I suspect someone in the live-streaming room wanted sex, but I won¡¯t point him out!] [The game producer has a unique taste. I like it!] The scene of the female zombie hitting her hand on a wall and pinning the male staff caused an intense discussion in the live-streaming room once again. Many viewers had unknowingly exposed their weird sexual preferences. Although Matt was an NPC, he was also Angelica¡¯s teammate, so she couldn¡¯t just stand by and do nothing. Angelica was used for fighting in the game. She easily attacked the female zombie¡¯s back and saved Matt¡¯s life. After being alone for a while, Angelica was happy to meet Matt, whom she met by chance. Matt started chatting with Angelica. Angelica just found out that the female zombie was Matt¡¯s sister! Matt and his sister joined the Umbrella Corporation because they knew the company was conducting a biochemical experiment that could threaten the world¡¯s safety. Both of them joined the company with different identities. They once hoped to release their observations through their informants in the future! Unfortunately, the informant betrayed Matt¡¯s sister. Matt¡¯s sister stayed in the underground laboratory when the incident happened and eventually became a zombie. The game¡¯s plot was too realistic. Everything that happened was so cruel that it made people feel pity for the characters! Suddenly, the game showed a black-and-white plot animation. There were only two people in the animation. One was Angelica, and the other was Matt¡¯s sister, who just pressed on Matt! What was the relationship between Alice and Matt¡¯s sister? Why would they meet in the forest outside the mansion? Why did they even talk about the secrets of the Umbrella Corporation? Angelica thought, ¡°Am I the informant? Did I betray Matt and his sister?¡± Angelica realized that she couldn¡¯t help but feel sorry for Matt. Angelica thought, ¡°He¡¯s just an NPC in a game! Why do I have to be sorry for him?¡± Angelica didn¡¯t tell anyone about her suspicion. Instead, she walked through the office with Matt and finally found the other team members. Meanwhile, one of the female members, Rain, told everyone that they could only stay in the underground laboratory for one hour. The Umbrella Corporation would seal off all the passages from the laboratory to the outside world within an hour to clean up the viruses. At that time, they wouldn¡¯t be able to leave! Meanwhile, everyone was aware of the horrifying incident that happened in the underground laboratory. Therefore, they decided to restart the Red Queen. They decided to find a way out by controlling the artificial intelligence system in the laboratory. They successfully restarted the Red Queen. Soon, a little girl in a red dress appeared again as a holographic projection. This time, the Red Queen finally told everyone the truth. The Red Queen told everyone why she sealed off the underground laboratory and killed everyone inside. Someone leaked the biochemical virus. The biochemical viruses could be transmitted through the air and enter the ventilation duct. It caused everyone in the laboratory to be at risk of becoming infected by the virus. They may cause a great disaster once they leave the laboratory. Therefore, the Red Queen activated the laboratory¡¯s defense system to trap and kill all the infectors in the laboratory. Then, the Red Queen told them the path to escape, even though most areas in the underground laboratory were stuck. However, they could still leave this place through the ventilation duct! Angelica and the others entered the ventilation duct of the laboratory to find a way out according to the Red Queen¡¯s guidance. Chapter 9 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation It was hot and humid in the ventilation duct. Just like in other areas, numerous zombies had occupied the duct area. However, just as the Red Queen said, there was a way out. The only way out was to climb the ventilation duct. They could crawl on the ventilation duct, which was two meters high from the ground. The zombies were all on the floor and couldn¡¯t reach the people crawling on the ventilation duct. Angelica followed the team as they crawled slowly on the ventilation duct. She felt suffocated while crawling on the ventilation duct. Angelica was nauseated when she saw numerous hands groping up the pipe. [The game tortures people in different ways! Players have to be careful of the ambush of zombies and zombie dogs. And now, players have to crawl on the ventilation duct in front of the zombies!] [I¡¯m curious about what Angelica is thinking right now. She started to be quiet a few minutes ago¡­] [What else could she be thinking? She definitely wants to leave this damn place as soon as possible! It¡¯s an immersive game. She can smell the zombies in her every breath!] [My hair stands on end when I¡¯m thinking about it.] [This game will definitely be the hottest game in town!] [Even a fool knows that!] An accident happened when they arrived at a relatively empty area at the end of the ventilation duct. Kaplan was a member of the team who was guarding the team in the back. The ventilation duct where he was crawling broke suddenly. It might be caused by too many people crawling on the ventilation duct. The ventilation duct fell to the ground, and zombies surrounded Kaplan. Kaplan¡¯s teammates tried to cover him by shooting the zombies. Meanwhile, they urged him to climb back up to the ventilation duct. However, another ventilation duct was broken too! It had turned Kaplan¡¯s location into an island! Nobody could go over to help him, and nobody knew which ventilation duct would break next! ¡°Guys! Hurry up and leave! Don¡¯t worry about me. I¡¯ll cover you all!¡± When Angelica heard Kaplan¡¯s words, she could feel tears flowing out from the corners of her eyes. Angelica felt her reaction was unbelievable. She couldn¡¯t believe that she was crying for an NPC! The viewers in the live stream room were also amazed by the details of the game¡¯s plot. [Unbelievable! The game¡¯s characters are among the greatest I¡¯ve seen in a long time.] [How did the game producer do it? How can an NPC be full of emotions? I even think that Kaplan is a real person!] [I¡¯m touched by the game. The combat is impressive, and the story is better than most other games!] [Kaplan, don¡¯t worry. Angelica will make it out alive with everyone!] In the end, the team decided to give up on Kaplan. After a while, they left the ventilation duct and arrived somewhere with many other laboratories. Suddenly, the animation changed. Angelica saw that many researchers in white coats were walking around in front of her. She immediately realized that it should be part of Alice¡¯s memory. She had been here before! Angelica and the others arrived at a laboratory by following the guidance of her memory. Meanwhile, an animation was shown. Angelica and the viewers in the live stream room held their breath and watched the animation nervously. According to their experience, the animations often indicated hints! Alice¡¯s memory unfolded the cause of the tragedy in the underground laboratory! It was caused by the mole in the team! The mole was a man who always remained silent. He was the culprit who spread the virus! [What a despicable person! He made thousands of people pay for his actions!] [The mole is right beside us? When the animation is over, Angelica must take action to eliminate the mole!] [Wait, will the mole trigger the same memory as Alice¡¯s? He seems to have lost his memory too. Could he have found out everything at the same time?] [Darn it! Is this an apocalyptic game or a moral game!] Angelica was just about to take action when the animation finished. However, she realized the situation was just as the comment section said. The man, who had been silent all the time, had also recovered his memory. The man abducted Rain and warned everyone not to get close to them as he retreated step by step. Angelica couldn¡¯t kill Rain, even though she was just an NPC. In Angelica¡¯s perspective, every NPC was a living human, and everyone had an independent personality! Just as they were in a stalemate, a zombie suddenly came out of the water and bit the man¡¯s hand. The man was forced to let go of Rain. He hurriedly ran out of the door after pushing away the zombie. However, Angelica and the others were locked in the laboratory. [Haha! Justice rains from above!] [He deserves it!] [The game producer deserves a compliment. This bastard should receive his retribution!] [But how are Angelica and her teammates going to get out?] Just as everyone was looking for a way to leave, the television in the laboratory suddenly lit up. The screen showed the location of the mole. The man had come to the train and found the anti-virus serum he had left beforehand. Just as the man was about to inject himself with the serum, a terrifying blood-red monster suddenly appeared. It bit the man and immediately killed him! The man was bitten in half by the monster. Then, in front of everyone, it started to devour the man! Once again, Zombie Apocalypse changed the game¡¯s standards, which shocked everyone in the live stream room. [Blargh! Isn¡¯t the game too bloody? How did it get released?] [Nowadays, don¡¯t games have to be verified? What¡¯s the age limit for playing this game?] [Although the previous scene nauseated me, isn¡¯t this what the apocalypse looks like? The game is very detailed! It¡¯s just like a masterpiece!] The game industry¡¯s rising star! It doesn¡¯t matter about the bloody scenes, as long as children are prohibited from playing it!] After the Licker ate the man, its body became more robust due to the new genes it had absorbed. Soon, the Licker found the laboratory where Angelica and the others were and started to attack the door. At the same time, the Red Queen locked everyone in the laboratory since they had refused her request to kill Rain. Once the Licker broke in, they would be dead meat! Suddenly, the door on the other side of the laboratory opened. Everyone was shocked when they saw the person who opened the door. Angelica couldn¡¯t help but say surprisingly, ¡°Kaplan! You¡¯re still alive!¡± Chapter 10 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Kaplan explained to the team that he didn¡¯t give up when surrounded by zombies. Instead, Kaplan found a way out of the encirclement. Eventually, he returned to the Red Queen¡¯s main server room. He then burned the Red Queen¡¯s mainboard. While the Red Queen was forcefully turned off, she couldn¡¯t control the facilities in the underground laboratory anymore, which unlocked the laboratory door where Angelica and the others were. ¡°We don¡¯t have much time left. Let¡¯s take the train and leave!¡± ¡°There¡¯s an anti-virus serum near the train. Rain could be saved!¡± Angelica looked at the laboratory door that started to deform. She knew that the door would soon be unable to withstand the attacks of the Licker. They quickly left the laboratory and headed to the train. Angelica was trying to hold back her nausea as she looked at the broken corpse of the mole. Angelica took away the box next to him containing the anti-virus serum. They managed to get on the train before the Licker reached them. After getting on the train, Angelica immediately took the anti-virus serum from the box and injected it into Rain. At the moment, Angelica wasn¡¯t aware she was just playing a game. Angelica had forgotten that Rain was just an NPC! Angelica had treated Rain as an actual living human! The sound of the moving train made Angelica feel reassured. She leaned against the wall of the carriage and let out a sigh of relief. Finally, Angelica was able to interact with the viewers. ¡°Phew! What do you think, my friends? It¡¯s time for you to approve of my gaming skills! Since we are on the train now, I think I¡¯ve passed the game!¡± Angelica was interacting with viewers with a smug look. She had been holding back her anger and almost couldn¡¯t help but want to close the game while the viewers were provoking her. Angelica felicitated herself for hanging on in the game. Unexpectedly, she was talented in the game. She could clear the game as it was her first time playing! [It¡¯s just because the host is lucky. I can do it too!] [I agree. It¡¯s just the first season of Zombie Apocalypse. The game will probably have a follow-up plot!] [It¡¯s easy to clear the game since the producer focused on creating a horrifying atmosphere and lessened the fighting parts!] Angelica stuck out her tongue helplessly as she read the viewers¡¯ arrogant comments. ¡°Humph! I know you¡¯ll be arrogant! Anyway, I¡¯m about to clear the game. You can envy my achievements in your hearts!¡± As Angelica happily interacted with the viewers in the live-streaming room, she was shocked by the sudden appearance of a prompt. ¡°Warning! Alice is under attack! Please pause the game immediately or resume the game!¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on? Wasn¡¯t I soon about to clear the game as I got on the train? Who attacked me?¡± Although Angelica was clueless about the situation, she immediately switched her perspective to the game. As Angelica resumed the game, she felt the whole carriage shaking violently, which made it hard for her to stand. Kaplan shouted, ¡°Alice, what are you doing? Get up! We¡¯re under attack!¡± Kaplan thought Angelica had fallen asleep since he saw her sitting on the floor without any reactions. Hence, he tried to wake her up. Angelica immediately stood up and found support to stand still. Later, she asked. ¡°What happened? Who attacked us? ¡± Matt said with a gloomy expression. ¡°The Licker! The brute has caught up with us!¡± The moment Matt finished his words, the carriage shook again. Everyone looked up together, picked up their weapons, and fired at the roof. The Licker caught up with them and jumped onto the train! Suddenly, the train door beside them flew away, leaving sparks on the tracks. Later, a long, elastic tongue came from the door. It wrapped around Kaplan and dragged him out of the train. Everyone on the train could only watch their teammate being taken away by the Licker helplessly. [Haha! What did the host just say? She had cleared the game? Host, you¡¯re telling me you cleared the game when you haven¡¯t dealt with the boss?] [You shouldn¡¯t be at ease after achieving a minor goal! You¡¯re going to screw up now!] [It¡¯s too bad. Why is the Licker unable to aim precisely to catch the host? If it had caught the host, the game would have been over!] The viewers in the live-streaming room weren¡¯t worried about Angelica when they watched her in trouble. Instead, they were excited. Meanwhile, Angelica couldn¡¯t interact with the viewers since she was busy dealing with the Licker. She held her weapon nervously, staring at places where she might be attacked. The train was on the verge due to the Licker¡¯s strong attack. The main train door had been removed by the Licker, leaving three exposed spots in the front of the train! The Licker could attack them with its tongue from different directions! Just as Angelica focused on the Licker, she suddenly heard a low growl from behind. Angelica thought she had heard it wrong. However, she saw Rain pounce on her the moment she turned around. In the end, Rain became a zombie due to the late injection of the anti-virus serum. Rain, who appeared pale and had scarlet eyes, sprang at Angelica and wanted to bite her. Angelica held the weapon in one hand. However, she couldn¡¯t bear to pull the trigger. ¡°Darn it! Why does the game have to be so realistic? I can¡¯t do it!¡± Angelica was on the verge of tears. It was the first time she was compassionate to a game. [Although I want to see the host lose the game, I can¡¯t do it if I were you!] [The game is way too real. You¡¯d better shoot her right away, host. After all, it¡¯s just a game!] [Although the producer has repulsive addiction, I must admit this is a masterpiece!] The live-streaming room was filled with sadness. Finally, Angelica made up her mind. Angelica pulled the trigger. Later, a bloody hole appeared on Rain¡¯s forehead. Eventually, Rain closed her eyes and fell to the ground. When Angelica saw Rain, her teammate with whom she had formed friendships, was dead due to the virus, she was incensed. Angelica wanted to kill the damn Licker and take revenge for Rain! It had nothing to do with winning or losing the game. Chapter 11 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Angelica became focused. Suddenly, she saw a pile of steel pipes next to the carriage. Taking advantage of the Licker¡¯s next attack, Angelica gripped the steel pipe tightly and plunged it into the ground. The middle of the carriage was a metal mesh structure. The steel pipe passed through the gap and nailed the Licker¡¯s tongue to the metal net. The Licker was struggling desperately. Angelica was about to collapse. Only Angelica and Matt were left on the train. Angelica yelled, ¡°Hurry up and open it!¡± Fortunately, Matt wasn¡¯t intimidated by the situation. He slammed the button beside him, and the metal net opened from the middle. The Licker fell from the middle and was dragged along the tracks. The friction produced a high temperature and soon ignited and burnt the Licker. At that moment, Angelica let go of the steel pipe in her hand. Finally, the Licker died when rolling down the tracks. In the end, Angelica and Matt return to the mansion they first came from. Suddenly, they were caught by a group of people in chemical protective suits. The game ended with the scene. Later, the words ¡®game ended¡¯ appeared in Angelica¡¯s field of vision. Angelica released a sigh of relief and immediately logged out of her VR equipment. ¡°Finally, the game is over. Even though it didn¡¯t take me a long time to complete, this is definitely the best game I¡¯ve ever played in my life.¡± ¡°The game is so realistic. Also, the shaping of the characters is perfect. It even made me forget that I just was playing a game!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity for Rain. She doesn¡¯t have to die!¡± Angelica was sad for failing to rescue Rain even though she had cleared the game. Most of the comments in the live streaming room were comforting Angelica. The viewers developed emotions about the Special Forces during the live streaming, just as Angelica did. [The game is so satisfying to play! I can¡¯t wait to download the game and try it out!] [Apocalypse Tomorrow is just a piece of shit compared to Zombie Apocalypse!] [Host, can you play it all over again? I need to catch up and watch the beginning of the plot. Please fulfill my wish!] As the comment appeared, a gift symbol popped up on the screen of the live-streaming room. Angelica noticed the comment and immediately shook her head. ¡°No, no, no! I can¡¯t do it anymore. I am exhausted after playing it once. I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll die during the live streaming if I play it again.¡± ¡°You should try it out for yourself if you¡¯re interested. Zombie Apocalypse is definitely worth playing. I¡¯ll turn off the live stream and take a break. I¡¯ll be back in a while!¡± Angelica immediately went offline after she finished her words. It left the viewers cursing at the comment section in the live stream room. It was particularly for a few viewers who had just entered the live-streaming room after others had suggested they do so. The viewers never thought they would join the live-streaming room at the moment the live streaming ended. They felt extremely regretful, as if they had lost something precious. Su Ping was watching Angelica¡¯s live stream. He called her as soon as she got off the live stream. Su Ping was a little worried about Angelica¡¯s condition. After all, he knew the power of the system. The realism of the game was nightmarish. ¡°Hey, Angelica, how are you? Are you alright?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. Did you make this game by yourself? That¡¯s amazing! You¡¯ve created a game that had beaten the game produced by prominent gaming companies!¡± Angelica said from the bottom of her heart. Su Ping laughed and said, ¡°Haha! Actually, I can¡¯t take all the credit. I¡¯m relieved to see that you¡¯re fine.¡± ¡°I was worried you would be frightened by the game scenes.¡± ¡°Thank you so much for helping in promoting my game. If there¡¯s another chance, let¡¯s continue to work together!¡± Angelica immediately nodded her head. ¡°No problem. Thank you for letting me play such a good game! It¡¯s just too scary, haha!¡± Meanwhile, most popular streamers on the live-streaming platform had begun to realize something was wrong. The number of viewers in their live-streaming room was much lower than usual! Despite Apocalypse Tomorrow being a terrible game, they thought they could amuse the viewers with their impact. They would entertain the viewers in other ways if the game were boring. They believed that their live streaming was still entertaining. It was usual that the number of viewers was less than expected, but it turned out that the number of views was way too low. Was the majority of the viewers today too busy to watch live streams? Meanwhile, PDD, one of the streamers, was attracted by a comment. [Host, when are you going to play Zombie Apocalypse? I just watched Angelica¡¯s live stream. The game is entertaining! Can the host play the game too?] PDD saw more and more similar comments appear, which made him surprised. PDD thought, ¡°Zombie Apocalypse?¡± ¡°Did the fan type something wrong? Isn¡¯t Apocalypse Tomorrow the only zombie open-world game released recently?¡± PDD immediately asked, ¡°I¡¯ve seen many of you commenting on a game called Zombie Apocalypse. What game is this? Why haven¡¯t I heard of it before?¡± [It¡¯s a game created by a mysterious producer. The immersive experience is just as fantastic as in reality. Angelica was almost scared out of her wits when she was playing just now!] [The plot of the game is touching. It made me feel that the game¡¯s characters are not NPCs but people living in real life!] [Host, stop asking questions. Hurry up and play the game. Otherwise, I¡¯m going to unsubscribe from your channel!] The live-streaming rooms of the many popular streamers appeared to have the same situation. Su Ping¡¯s game received a positive response thanks to the netizens¡¯ promotion, while he only spent the funds on Angelica¡¯s promotion costs. Numerous netizens were promoting Zombie Apocalypse in different popular streamers¡¯ live-streaming rooms. In addition to live-streaming platforms, netizens also talked about the Zombie Apocalypse legend in forums. It attracted many people¡¯s attraction who had never heard of the game. Angelica ate something to boost her energy and finally started streaming again. Meanwhile, many fans were waiting in Angelica¡¯s live-stream room. After all, she was the first person to play the game. Many people came to see what kind of game Zombie Apocalypse was. Angelica was shocked when she started the live stream. Many unfamiliar usernames were spamming gifts in the live-streaming room, asking her to play Zombie Apocalypse as soon as possible, saying they wanted to see her live-stream playing the game. Angelica didn¡¯t dare to play it again, so she said with a bitter smile. ¡°Everyone, please don¡¯t ask me to play the game anymore. I am still recovering. If you¡¯re interested in the game, you can download it and play it yourself.¡± The number of comments increased as soon as Angelica finished her words. The viewers were asking Angelica where they could download the game. As the number of views of Angelica¡¯s live-streaming room increased, it reached first place on the game-streaming board. Chapter 12 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°I heard from the producer that the game should have been officially released on Steam. You can search for it on the platform. It¡¯s available.¡± However, the viewers weren¡¯t satisfied with Angelica¡¯s answer. Angelica was forced to send a message to Su Ping. ¡°Su Ping, can you send me the download link? I¡¯ll post it on the screen of the live stream room in case someone can¡¯t find it.¡± ¡°Since the name of your game can be seen quite often. I think many games have the same name as yours.¡± Su Ping replied as soon as he received the message. Soon, a link appeared on the screen of the live stream room. Netizens immediately clicked on it. Within a minute, numerous comments appeared in the live stream room. [What the heck? Did you send the correct link, host? Or did I enter the wrong game? Is the game free? I can download it without paying?] [What¡¯s going on? Is it a free game? I¡¯m puzzled about the situation. Did the host give the wrong link?] [Host, please check with the producer. There must be a mistake. How can such a good game be free?] After looking at the comments, Angelica asked Su Ping for confirmation. In the end, she got a firm answer. Then, Angelica took a deep breath and spoke as calmly as she could in the live stream room. ¡°Everyone, as you can see on Steam, Zombie Apocalypse is indeed a free game!¡± ¡°Just now, the game producer told me he made the game free to promote the game easily. The follow-up plot should be free too.¡± As soon as Angelica finished her words, the comment section was in chaos again. The comment section has been chaotic throughout the entire live stream. [Fuck! It¡¯s really free! I have to download it immediately in case the producer regrets his decision!] [The game is definitely the conscience of the game industry. It¡¯s unreasonable if the game remains unknown!] [I never thought that I¡¯d be able to play such a good game in my lifetime. Thank you so much, dear producer!] Netizens were expressing their gratitude in the live-streaming room¡¯s comment section. The gaming industry here was too corrupt and least developed. The major game development companies didn¡¯t intend to improve their games. Players could only play games released years ago with such advanced VR equipment. Worldwide gamers were deeply affected by the least-developed gaming industry. They were touched and excited when they could suddenly play such a thrilling game. Angelica felt the publicity was almost done and decided to end the live stream officially. Suddenly, Angelica wanted to invite Su Ping for a meal and discuss his future work in person. Although Angelica had said that she didn¡¯t dare to play such a horrifying game in her live stream anymore, if Su Ping released Zombie Apocalypse season two, she believed she would be the first to download the game. ¡°Su Ping, let¡¯s have dinner together. I want to meet you.¡± Su Ping was surprised to receive the message. He thought, ¡°A girl wants to meet me?¡± Su Ping would definitely not turn down Angelica¡¯s sincere invitation. Hence, both of them agreed on a restaurant to set off simultaneously. Both of them met in a restaurant. Although it wasn¡¯t Angelica¡¯s first time meeting Su Ping, she was currently impressed by him. The person sitting in front of Angelica was a genius game producer with great potential! If Su Ping could maintain the quality of the following Zombie Apocalypse production, the gaming industry would have changed its structure! While they were eating, Angelica said pitifully. ¡°Su Ping, your game has high quality. Players will be willing to pay even if it¡¯s a little more expensive. Why did you make it free?¡± ¡°You¡¯re getting the short end of the stick!¡± Su Ping said with a smile. ¡°Haha! Actually, I¡¯ve thought about making it a paid game. However, I¡¯m not a famous game producer at the moment. I have to make it free for promotion.¡± ¡°Once I¡¯d gathered a group of fans, and everyone approved the quality of my games, I can release a paid game.¡± ¡°Moreover, the Zombie Apocalypse you played today is just the game¡¯s first season. There are still several follow-up plots!¡± ¡°If we charge for everything, it will become a substantial financial burden to the players. That¡¯s why the game is free.¡± Angelica¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up when she heard Su Ping¡¯s words. Then, she immediately asked. ¡°There are still a few more seasons? How many are there? When will I be able to play season two?¡± Su Ping said with a smile when he saw Angelica excited. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s almost done. The response is good thanks to your publicity. I¡¯ll continue to work with you in the release of the following series.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll let you know as soon as possible when I¡¯m done!¡± With Su Ping¡¯s promise, Angelica could finally put her mind at ease! The reason Angelica invited Su Ping for dinner was to confirm that she would be the one to promote his following work. Angelica would be melancholy if she saw other streamers play the second season of Zombie Apocalypse earlier than her. During the night, as the popularity of Angelica¡¯s live stream gradually increased, the popularity of Zombie Apocalypse became greater. It had become a trendy game. Since Angelica had gone offline early, netizens were asking about the game producer¡¯s identity. There were even netizens who questioned the existence of the game. Even if they had seen Angelica¡¯s live stream replay, they still insisted it was a movie! [It¡¯s impossible for a game to be as realistic as Zombie Apocalypse. Even the Storm Gaming Company can¡¯t produce such high-quality games. There¡¯s no such high-quality game as Zombie Apocalypse on Steam. It must be false publicity!] [That¡¯s right. Furthermore, did some claim that Zombie Apocalypse had just one producer? Are you kidding me? How can someone make such a game alone?] [Hmph! I¡¯ll make sure to ask Angelica directly during her live stream tomorrow. I¡¯ll make her admit that all of this is just hype!] The unexpected success of Zombie Apocalypse made many game development companies feel in danger. Especially Storm Gaming Company, the producer of Apocalypse Tomorrow. The Storm Gaming Company had spent a lot of money to promote their game. However, the game¡¯s popularity was inferior to Apocalypse Tomorrow, which an unknown producer produced. The Storm Gaming Company couldn¡¯t accept such a result due to their pride. Therefore, in the evening, numerous trolling comments began to appear on the internet, which tried to smear Zombie Apocalypse with fake news. The Storm Gaming Company wanted to destroy Zombie Apocalypse before it was too late! Chapter 13 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The Storm Gaming Company and many other game companies had paid many posters to smear Zombie Apocalypse with fake reviews. Although some players would believe in the fake reviews, most enjoyed playing Zombie Apocalypse due to its high quality. However, most players would take the initiative to try playing Zombie Apocalypse due to its popularity. Once they started playing the game, they couldn¡¯t resist playing it anymore. It turned out that the fake reviews didn¡¯t affect the popularity of Zombie Apocalypse. Besides, it attracted even more players to play Zombie Apocalypse, which helped Su Ping promote his game for free. [I¡¯ve just tired out Zombie Apocalypse. According to my gaming experience, you should try playing yourself to know whether it¡¯s a good game.] [I¡¯ve seen numerous fake reviews on the internet for the past two days. I believe it¡¯s done by the company which produced Apocalypse Tomorrow. Haha!] [The Storm Gaming Company deserves it. They must have suffered an enormous loss. They didn¡¯t intend to produce good games but wanted to make more money since they had advanced technology and more fund. Everything is destined!] [Everyone, please don¡¯t believe the fake reviews about Zombie Apocalypse! Zombie Apocalypse is the best game I¡¯ve ever played!] Netizens gradually discovered the existence of the water army. Hence, the players took the initiative to speak for the Zombie Apocalypse. Although the game producer was unknown to them, they were willing to take the initiative to do it as long as it was a good game. To the players, nothing was more torturing than being unable to find a good game on the market. Meanwhile, Su Ping was also paying attention to people¡¯s responses to Zombie Apocalypse on the internet. ¡°Zombie Apocalypse is now popular enough. Most players should have downloaded Zombie Apocalypse and played it within two days.¡± ¡°It¡¯s time to produce the Zombie Apocalypse season two and release it!¡± Since Zombie Apocalypse was famous, Su Ping had to take advantage of the opportunity to release another game to maximize his profits. Su Ping could imagine the enthusiastic response when Zombie Apocalypse season two was launched according to its current popularity. However, just as Su Ping was about to start working, he received a call from Angelica. Angelica seemed to be hesitating when Su Ping picked up the call. ¡°Su Ping¡­ About¡­¡± Su Ping was puzzled by Angelica¡¯s confusing behavior and asked, ¡°Are you alright? Are you sick?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s just that¡­ Isn¡¯t it late now¡­¡± Su Ping waited for a while, but Angelica still couldn¡¯t finish a complete sentence. Su Ping checked the time and said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s very late now. You should go to bed early. Good night.¡± When Su Ping was about to hang up, Angelica suddenly became anxious. Angelica immediately said. ¡°Don¡¯t! Please don¡¯t hang up!¡± ¡°Then tell me why you¡¯re looking for me!¡± ¡°Hmm, I want to invite you to my house. Don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t have any other intentions.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just because my mind is filled with the horrifying scenes I¡¯ve seen in the game when I was preparing to sleep. I¡¯m still afraid that zombies will suddenly appear in my house even when I turn on the lights.¡± Su Ping was puzzled after hearing Angelica¡¯s words. He thought, ¡°Is the game I¡¯ve made that scary?¡± ¡°Or did I underestimate the realism of immersive VR?¡± Only then did Su Ping realize that he hadn¡¯t experienced Zombie Apocalypse. Angelica continued and said, ¡°Su Ping, can you come and keep me company? There¡¯s a guest room in my house. You can sleep in there.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be better when there¡¯s someone at home. You won¡¯t do anything to me since I believe in your character.¡± ¡°Please¡­ The next time I promote your game, I won¡¯t charge you!¡± Su Ping could tell that Angelica was really frightened due to the sincerity of her words. Although Zombie Apocalypse was a thrilling game, players wouldn¡¯t feel too scared while playing the game. The nightmarish part was players thinking about the scenes of the games during the night! Brave people might not be scared when playing the game. However, they might be horrified by inadvertently thinking of the plot and scenes in the game late at night or when staying alone. Consequently, they began to fear what they could imagine. In the end, Su Ping agreed to Angelica¡¯s request. After all, he had to take care of his partner¡¯s mental health. Furthermore, Su Ping decided to let Angelica promote Zombie Apocalypse season two. Su Ping spent the night at Angelica¡¯s home. The next morning, he was woken up by a loud knock on the door while deep asleep. Su Ping vaguely heard Angelica¡¯s voice coming from outside. Su Ping almost thought that zombies were coming since he was in his half-awake state. However, Su Ping realized that things were not what he thought when he listened carefully. ¡°Su Ping, get up! Have a look at Steam!¡± After a while, Su Ping looked at the number of downloads on Steam calmly. Besides, Angelica was extremely excited, as if she was the one who made the game. ¡°It¡¯s incredible. It hasn¡¯t even been a day, but your game has exceeded 100000 downloads on Steam!¡± As Angelica was talking, she shook her head in pity. ¡°What a great loss! If it¡¯s a paid game, you can earn millions of Yuan from the game even if it is charged ten Yuan per download!¡± ¡°Sigh, I don¡¯t understand why you don¡¯t like money. Don¡¯t you need money to make the game? Do you have enough money?¡± Su Ping thought, ¡°Does the game¡¯s production require money?¡± ¡°Hehe! It¡¯s the system that does all the work!¡± Su Ping would definitely not tell Angelica about the system¡¯s existence. Hence, he nodded and said, ¡°It¡¯s not a problem about the money.¡± When Angelica heard Su Ping¡¯s answer, she stuck out her tongue and said cutely, ¡°It makes me envious of rich people like you!¡± ¡°If the other individual game developer hears what you said, they will be indignant!¡± Meanwhile, the live-streaming industry ushered in another day as the sun gradually rose. Usually, most streamers would start their live stream in the afternoon or evening since people liked to watch live streams during that time. Since most people were working or in class in the mornings and afternoons, no one typically had time to watch live streams. However, things weren¡¯t as usual today. All popular streamers with millions or even tens of millions of subscribers started their live streams at the same time, early in the morning! Chapter 14 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation [Damn! The host started a live stream? Is the host¡¯s account being hacked?] [Why is the host live streaming at this time today? I had just arrived at the company and was about to take a break. I didn¡¯t expect Old Tom to be live streaming!] [Did the sun rise from the West today? All of you want to be government officials, don¡¯t you?] [When did the streamers become hardworking? Or am I dreaming now?] Most of the viewers joined the live streaming room unbelievingly since the time streamers started their live streaming was strange. The live-streaming industry was in chaos when viewers saw the person in the live stream was indeed the streamer they had subscribed to. The streamers just realized the popularity of Zombie Apocalypse yesterday. After knowing the situation, they immediately downloaded the game during the night to play it in their live streams the following day. They had to compete for traffic in playing Zombie Apocalypse! That was the only reason the streamers started to live stream early in the morning! Otherwise, they couldn¡¯t gain more popularity once other streamers had played Zombie Apocalypse. Nobody would like to watch the game plot several times in a row and not get tired of it. Some streamers who had started their live streams even provoked Zombie Apocalypse, saying it was a marketing scam yesterday. They also chose to start their live streaming in the morning. ¡°Dear viewers, I¡¯ve finished downloading the Zombie Apocalypse you requested last night. I, Old Tom, will try playing the game to see whether the game is as impressive as you mentioned!¡± ¡°You guys must have been cheated by the water army. However, I¡¯m here to tell you that the game is a scam! It¡¯s just used to increase popularity and traffic!¡± ¡°Guys, have a look. I¡¯m entering the game now!¡± The host clicked open Zombie Apocalypse after he finished his words. However, after watching the opening scene of the game¡¯s plot, the host, who had just claimed that Zombie Apocalypse was a scam, was shocked by the situation. ¡°What? Are my eyes working properly just now? Is this really a free game?¡± ¡°Wait, the game¡¯s plot is just a CG movie clip. Hehe! Do you think you can scheme me with such a small trick? Mr. Game Producer, your cheating skills aren¡¯t good enough.¡± Meanwhile, the live stream room was filled with provoking comments. Some viewers were trying to prod the host to continue the game immediately. ¡°I, Old Tom, have never been scared by any horror game. The game producer thinks he could scare me with such a game, huh? If the game does, I¡¯ll eat my VR equipment during my live stream!¡± Ten minutes later, the host¡¯s shrill shout and the viewers¡¯ delighted comments filled the live stream room. ¡°Aah! Don¡¯t come over!¡± ¡°Please don¡¯t bite me! Fuck! It hurts! Stop biting me! Aah! I¡¯m going to become a zombie!¡± The game failed. The host was kicked out of the game because his agitation raised the VR system¡¯s alert level. [Pfft, haha! Where did the boastful guy go? Why can¡¯t I find him?] [Old Tom, are you trying to make us die of laughter? What makes you confident to say that no horror game has ever scared you?] [Host, I suggest you go back to the factory. It¡¯s too embarrassing. If I were you, I would immediately turn off the live stream due to the shame!] [Is there anything else you want to say? So, Zombie Apocalypse isn¡¯t a scam, right?] After a long while, Old Tom finally recovered from his shock. Old Tom looked at Zombie Apocalypse¡¯s game icon unbelievably, and his eyes popped out of his head. He couldn¡¯t believe that such an impressive game existed in the world. Worldwide gamers have been suffering from trashy games for a long time! Finally, it was almost afternoon. Meanwhile, the major live-streaming platforms around the world were streaming the streamers¡¯ shrill shouts. Even streamers who didn¡¯t belong to the gaming streaming industry joined in on the experience of the Zombie Apocalypse. Even dance industry streamers stopped streaming their dances and opened the Zombie Apocalypse one by one. However, they were tortured by the zombies in the end. Every streamer would do their best to compete with the Zombie Apocalypse traffic. They all posted an announcement in their live stream moves, hoping their subscribers would join their live stream and watch them play Zombie Apocalypse. Last night, one of the popular streamers, Wesley, who had tens of millions of fans on the live-streaming platforms, officially started his live stream and played Zombie Apocalypse. ¡°Haha! Brothers, I¡¯ve been watching other streamers live-stream this game today. It doesn¡¯t seem to be scary.¡± ¡°Your streamer, I, will show you how the game is played. Please enjoy my spirited performance! I¡¯ll kill all the zombies!¡± Wesley had been known for being a boastful person. Hence, the comments mocked him as soon as he finished speaking. [It will be deemed a success if the host refrains from urinating in his underwear out of fear.] [Only go offline if you clear the game today!] [What are you waiting for? Hurry up and enter the game!] ¡°Alright, alright. Everyone, please calm down. The game is about to start.¡± Initially, Wesley wasn¡¯t aware of the horror of the game. He even laughed as he commented on the quality of the game¡¯s texture. ¡°Brothers, please look carefully. The scene is detailed, indeed. Although I¡¯m not scared, I¡¯m going to the game for 80 points.¡± ¡°Wow! This house is big! I wish I could have such a big house in real life!¡± Soon, Wesley was shocked by the sudden appearance of the Special Forces, and he stopped smiling. However, Wesley was able to be calm at the moment. As Wesley reached the Laser Hallway, looking at the laser beam coming at him, he couldn¡¯t take it anymore. ¡°Aah! Don¡¯t kill me! My meat will stink if it¡¯s cooked!¡± ¡°Aah! Don¡¯t!¡± The game failed. Wesley couldn¡¯t find a way to avoid being cut by the laser beam while panicking. As expected, his body was cut in half, and the game ended. Fortunately, the game would save automatically every once in a while. Under the insulting remarks of the viewers, Wesley loaded the stored data and resumed the game to demonstrate his strength. [Haha! Such a weak guy!] [As a female host, Angelica can clear the game in one try. Why is Wesley so weak?] [I can eat three big bowls of rice for today¡¯s dinner while watching the host¡¯s live stream!] Wesley¡¯s happiness didn¡¯t last long, even though he had completed the Laser Hallway Challenge. As the elevator door opened, numerous zombies suddenly appeared and dragged Wesley, who was standing outside, into the elevator. With a heartbreaking cry, Wesley was kicked out of the game due to agitation. At the moment, Wesley was no longer as relaxed as he was at the start. He even wanted to go offline in shame. Chapter 15 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Wesley was still unable to complete Zombie Apocalypse two hours later. Wesley had already reached the stage where he could take the train out of the underground laboratory by replaying it numerous times. However, Wesley could not find a way to kill the Licker. At this point, he had died more than ten times. Moreover, the process of Wesley¡¯s death varied each time. Sometimes, the Licker¡¯s tongue would drag Wesley off the train. Sometimes, he would be cut into pieces by the sharp claws that suddenly reached in from the door. Wesley even once lost his life after falling from the train to the tracks due to his dizziness. [Haha! Although the streamer is terrible at playing the game, he is a joke to everyone. I¡¯m tearing up laughing.] [Are you still going to be stubborn? Didn¡¯t you say that the game is simple and not scary at all? Why don¡¯t we play again?] [I think the host will never clear Zombie Apocalypse in his life.] Although Wesley had many fans, his gaming skills were lousy, and he was more nice than wise. Wesley couldn¡¯t take it any longer when he saw the overwhelming sarcastic comments. ¡°Ah! Suddenly, my stomach doesn¡¯t feel well. I think I have a stomach ache.¡± ¡°Dear viewers, I¡¯m sorry. I think I can¡¯t continue with the live stream. I have to go to the hospital as soon as possible. I¡¯m ending the live stream here. Goodbye, everyone!¡± Before the viewers understood the situation, the live stream suddenly ended. Only then did the viewers realize Wesley had slipped away! He went offline at light speed! The viewers in Wesley¡¯s live stream room immediately posted numerous sarcastic comments. Made Wesley, who had just ended the live stream, was again angered by the comments. Other than Wesley, another popular streamer, PDD, also chose to live stream playing Zombie Apocalypse today. Last night, when PDD went to bed, he was vexed that he didn¡¯t get the traffic and popularity of Zombie Apocalypse. Moreover, PDD was attracted by the quality of the game. During PDD¡¯s usual live stream time at night, he couldn¡¯t wait to start his live stream. ¡°Today, I¡¯m going to live stream playing a popular game, Zombie Apocalypse. I¡¯d like to see if the game is as impressive as you claim!¡± ¡°I heard that Angelica cleared the game on her first try? Haha! Then I will clear the game in the shortest time!¡± The viewers snorted in the comment section after hearing PDD¡¯s words. [Huh! Everyone says the same old thing.] [Host, don¡¯t be scared until you wet your pants later. It¡¯s embarrassing.] [The content of the live stream just now has been recorded. Host, please remember your promise!] Soon, the game started. Surprisingly, PDD completed the first half of the game smoothly. Although PDD was fat in real life, his character in the game was a tall beauty. His game character made him agile in his movements. In the first challenge, the Laser Hallway, he cleared it on his first try without suffering any damage! [Wow! Not bad, PDD.I didn¡¯t expect you to be so good at it.] [There¡¯s something wrong with PDD today. I suggest he do a urinalysis!] [Don¡¯t do the urinalysis! It can¡¯t detect changes in analeptic intake!] [The zombies haven¡¯t appeared yet. Later you¡¯ll know how evil the producer is!] PDD¡¯s confidence was off the charts due to his success in the first half of the game. Although he was just bragging at the beginning, now he thought he could clear the game in one go. Finally, he was shocked at the appearance of the zombie dog. PDD even happened to be suffering from a pain illusion when a swarm of zombie dogs pounced on him at the same time. He thought that the zombie dogs had bitten his physical form. ¡°Don¡¯t bite me! Aah, it hurts!¡± ¡°Help!¡± In the end, PDD was also kicked out of the game because his agitation triggered the VR system¡¯s alert level. PDD looked pale as he left the game. It was obvious that he was frightened by the swarm of zombie dogs. [Is the host scared to death?] [Haha! I know it will be like this!] [There¡¯s something even more terrifying in the following scenes!] PDD picked up the cup of water beside him and took three big gulps. Finally, he calmed himself a bit. It was the problem with playing incredibly realistic immersive VR games. Players would forget that they were playing a game if it was too realistic. Although the game system had a mechanism for reducing pain, the player could still feel a sharp pain if the feeling was too intense. However, Su Ping didn¡¯t know when the equipment had just been created¡­ The equipment lacked safety mechanisms to protect the player, which made it strictly banned from being used all over the world! It was because people died of heart attacks due to extreme shock while using the equipment! Scaring oneself to death by playing games did exist! PDD was originally not a healthy person. After experiencing such fear, he felt like he had collapsed and had no intention of returning to the game. After a while, the viewers in the live-streaming room gradually noticed that PDD was in bad condition. [What¡¯s the matter with the host? Are you still haven¡¯t recovered after such a long time?] [Did the host want to give up? It¡¯s alright. We all understand. After all, the host lacks strength and courage.] [It¡¯s alright if you want to give up. I¡¯ll change to watch another streamer!] As PDD saw the popularity of his live stream gradually decreasing and the inciting comments increasing, he gritted his teeth and returned to the game in the end. ¡°Hmph, who said I¡¯m not playing anymore? I¡¯ll continue playing. I¡¯ll definitely clear the game today!¡± PDD was angered by his fans. He gathered his courage and continued to fight the zombie dogs in the game. However, the fear left from the previous incident was still affecting him. PDD¡¯s performance was even worse when facing the zombie dogs again. Soon, he was kicked out of the game by the system again. After many attempts, the time PDD could fight the zombie dogs were getting shorter. In the end, he couldn¡¯t even enter the game! PDD was disappointed. He didn¡¯t expect that he wouldn¡¯t be able to win the game in the end. However, there were fewer sarcastic comments than before. After all, most of these people were fans of PDD. PDD¡¯s fans were impressed seeing him try his best to win the game. [Forget it. It¡¯s alright that you lost. You¡¯ve tried your best.] [It¡¯s just a game! You don¡¯t have to try that hard!] [The game producer is inconsiderate. I think it will be better if we can freely set the game¡¯s difficulty level!] Hence, the viewers began to discuss the difficulty of the Zombie Apocalypse. Chapter 16 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Situations similar to Wesley and PDD were also happening in many other live stream rooms. At the moment, Zombie Apocalypse was getting more and more popular. Many streamers wanted to compete in its traffic to increase their number of fans. However, Zombie Apocalypse wasn¡¯t a game that everyone could easily clear. Zombie Apocalypse was a game that contained a lot of terrifying scenes. Although its combat segment seemed simple, it required skills in controlling the game character. That was why many streamers wanted to show their gaming skills while playing Zombie Apocalypse in their live streams, but most failed. Some timid streamers didn¡¯t even get to play the game for a long time since they were too scared to continue the game. Meanwhile, the overly realistic immersive game revealed some disadvantages. Its disadvantage was being too realistic. Especially for a game like Zombie Apocalypse, people might get too immersed in it and forget that they were actually just playing a game! However, although the streamers didn¡¯t get to clear Zombie Apocalypse, they were still willing to hold onto such an opportunity to increase fans. As a result, a phenomenon appeared in the live-streaming industry. Many live streamers stopped broadcasting the games they usually played, nor were they playing Zombie Apocalypse. Instead, they played the video of Angelica clearing the game in their live-stream room and watched it with the viewers. Even so, the viewers in the live stream room were discussing it with great enthusiasm. At this point, the netizens discovered a problem. [I¡¯ve watched a lot of live streamers playing Zombie Apocalypse these days, but only a few of them can clear the game. Is the game really that difficult?] [I agree. The game doesn¡¯t look challenging at first glance, but the fastest person to clear it is still Angelica! Even many streamers who are famous for their gaming skills can¡¯t clear it in one try!] [Isn¡¯t this game a little too challenging? If the situation goes on, will Zombie Apocalypse II become even more difficult?] [Does anyone know who is the game producer? I really want to report this problem to him!] The netizens were worried that the following seasons would become even more complicated, which would cause them to be unable to play it. As a result, netizens posted their request on the internet, hoping to find the game producer and ask him to lower the game¡¯s difficulty. Some fans even regathered in Angelica¡¯s live-stream room. [Host, can you talk to the game producer and ask him to lower the difficulty? I¡¯ve been playing for a few days and am still stuck in the game!] [That¡¯s right, host. The game is too difficult. I can¡¯t pass it no matter how hard I play it. It¡¯s so annoying!] [Host, can you play Zombie Apocalypse in your live stream one more time? I really hope to see you play it with my own eyes!] While looking at the comments, Angelica took note of the problems raised by the viewers and planned to give Su Ping feedback after her live stream ended. However, Angelica¡¯s reply would be the same for those who asked her to play Zombie Apocalypse again. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. You all just want to see me scared to death by the game and killed by zombies, right? I won¡¯t fall for it!¡± Although Angelica had cleared the game, she was extremely unwilling to play the game again. Besides, it would be boring to play the same plot again. It would be better to rest and prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse II that Su Ping will release soon! Angelica, who had already gained popularity due to the game, could imagine how lively the live stream room would be when she live-streamed playing Zombie Apocalypse II. All the fans of Zombie Apocalypse might come to her live stream room to watch her live stream playing the game! ¡°During that time, will my live stream room explode from the crowd? Hehe, it¡¯s exciting just thinking about it!¡± Just as Angelica was live streaming, on the other side, at the Steam company headquarters. The company was interested in Zombie Apocalypse, the global hit game. As the world¡¯s largest gaming platform, Steam¡¯s success was based on constantly discovering good games. Steam would be willing to spend a lot of money to explore and support the development of potential games just like Zombie Apocalypse. ¡°Have you found the producer of Zombie Apocalypse, which has been very popular recently?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a waste to let such a good game be free!¡± A director asked his subordinates in an office at Steam headquarters. The subordinate shook his head and said regretfully. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, director. The producer didn¡¯t leave any contact information on our platform. He just released the game on our platform.¡± ¡°Also, the producer seems to be deliberately hiding his identity. He even forged the IP address when uploading the game.¡± The director frowned in dissatisfaction after hearing it. ¡°So, we have no idea where to find the producer?¡± The subordinate nodded. After a while, the director seemed to give up on looking for the game producer. Then, he changed the topic of their conversation to other matters. ¡°Could you assist me in getting my directive to the game development team to promote Zombie Apocalypse? They should learn something from it!¡± ¡°I want everyone to experience the Zombie Apocalypse, but I¡¯m not just letting everyone play games.¡± ¡°The game development team should look for reasons why the game is successful from the producer¡¯s point of view while playing it. Also, they should find out the advantage of the game.¡± ¡°This will be a great inspiration for our original games! I hope we can one day make an excellent game like Zombie Apocalypse!¡± The company director¡¯s directive was quickly passed down. At first, the employees of Steam disapproved of the order and just went to play games. The director had allowed them some downtime. They could get their salary by playing games, so why not? However, the employees of Steam soon realized the problem. ¡°Sigh, Zombie Apocalypse is too difficult to play, but the company asked us to clear it. What should we do?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal to clear the game. The company wants us to write about our experiences and gains after playing the game, isn¡¯t that the main issue? It is worse than killing me!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Do we have to keep an eye on the zombies while playing the game? It is torturing me!¡± Soon, the employees began to complain incessantly. It was because of the harsh requirements given by the senior executives of Steam. In particular, many employees in the company who weren¡¯t good enough in terms of skills and lack of courage were soon tortured to death. The company was filled with employees¡¯ heartbreaking cries, and the office building next door could even hear their cries. The employees of other companies even once thought that the Steam employees had encountered danger in the company! Chapter 17 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Director, recently, our company¡¯s game development department employees have learned a lot of good game development ideas from the producer through Zombie Apocalypse.¡± ¡°Our company¡¯s game development ability has greatly improved!¡± A subordinate came to the director¡¯s office and proudly reported the results of the company¡¯s recent work. However, the director was thinking about something else. ¡°Director? What¡¯s the matter? Did you encounter any problems?¡± The director said while shaking his head. ¡°It¡¯s not something troublesome. I¡¯m wondering if we should get someone from the technical department to decode the game¡¯s underlying code and physics engine!¡± ¡°I believe that the reason the game can be so realistic and makes people feel like they¡¯re living in the game.¡± ¡°It¡¯s because the game used a better physics engine!¡± The subordinate¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard the director¡¯s words. He knew that his opportunity to earn credit had come. Hence, he immediately said, ¡°Is there anything wrong with it? Since the producer released his game on Steam, our platform, the fact that the game is popular is related to the publicity our platform gave him.¡± ¡°We¡¯re not going to copy his code. Our employees are just using it for reference.¡± ¡°Director, if you agree, I¡¯ll talk to the technical department and ask them to send a few of the company¡¯s top game developers to crack the game¡¯s code!¡± After thinking awhile, the director couldn¡¯t resist the temptation of such a good opportunity and nodded in agreement. Within two days, the senior Steam executives were shocked by the news from the technical department. John was the chief researcher of the technical department, and many of the games developed by Steam were part of John¡¯s efforts. Meanwhile, John came to the company¡¯s conference room with a few technicians. ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m John. I¡¯m here to report a piece of crucial information that we just learned.¡± As he spoke, John seemed in low spirits, and the dark circles under his eyes were evident as if he hadn¡¯t slept for days. ¡°Get straight to the point.¡± An executive said indifferently. ¡°Our recent research found that the popular game Zombie Apocalypse used a new physics engine, but there are more important things!¡± ¡°If the matter is just about the physics engine, I¡¯m confident that our technical department will be able to crack the programming logic of the physics engine easily and use it in our game development.¡± ¡°However, the point is that we soon discovered that the programming logic used in the physics engine is something that has never appeared before!¡± ¡°To put it simply, the code used in the game is a new computer language!¡± ¡°For example, we use a binary language, but the game might use another number system. The key is that we can¡¯t confirm its number system!¡± John looked around and said guiltily. ¡°So, I¡¯m very sorry, everyone. My technicians and I have been working hard all day and night, but we still haven¡¯t cracked the underlying logic of the game¡¯s physics engine.¡± ¡°Hence, we can only use the physics engine to develop our own game with the producer¡¯s guidance!¡± As soon as John finished his words, the conference room was completely silent. Although Steam wasn¡¯t as good as Storm Gaming Company in terms of game development technology and strength, it was still one of the top gaming companies in the world. It was a company that gathered geniuses in game development around the world. Even these geniuses couldn¡¯t decode Zombie Apocalypse¡¯s physics engine. Who was the producer of the game? After John left, the atmosphere in the conference room gradually eased. ¡°Chief technology director, what should we do now? We can¡¯t use the game¡¯s physics engine right now. Our company will definitely be inferior to Storm Gaming Company if they master the technology before us!¡± ¡°President, I believe that the producer of Zombie Apocalypse is an employee of a company! He did this anonymously to cause chaos in the gaming industry.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The current situation is extremely unfavorable to our company! If the producer is an employee of a company and the company has a new and more advanced physics engine, our company will be at risk!¡± ¡°Mr. President, I suggest we should find the game producer at all costs immediately. Or at least we should try to get in touch with him and learn more about him!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see who he is and whether he¡¯s an employee of any game development company! The best situation is to invite him to join Steam!¡± ¡°In this situation, we¡¯ll definitely be able to succeed the Storm Gaming Company in the gaming industry in the future!¡± After a heated discussion at the meeting, the current Steam president issued a directive after assessing the advantages and disadvantages of the situation. His directive was to do whatever it took to track down Zombie Apocalypse¡¯s producer and learn who he was! Even if the producer was an employee of a company, they had to do their best to win him over! The same situation happened at many other game development companies. As for small companies, they couldn¡¯t directly contact the game producer. As a result, Steam has recently received many applications, all of which were sent by game development companies seeking information about the producer. However, the requests of these game development companies were all rejected! Steam had already decided to recruit the producer to their company! The same decision wasn¡¯t just made by Steam. The Storm Gaming Company, which recently suffered a significant loss from Apocalypse Tomorrow, was also attempting to contact the game producer with its wealth. News from the Storm Gaming Company said that the top game development company had an internal meeting. Storm Gaming Company even decided that no matter how big the production team of Zombie Apocalypse was or the price they would offer, Storm Gaming Company would recruit the entire game production team to work for them at all costs! The competition between the major game development companies was in full swing. However, Su Ping, the target of the major game development companies, was unaware of the circumstances. He was in a good mood since the sales of Zombie Apocalypse had broken the record again! Chapter 18 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation When Su Ping clicked on the developer¡¯s account to check the statistics, he discovered Zombie Apocalypse I had exceeded 10 million downloads! It indicated that Zombie Apocalypse I had become a global hit! Although the results were good because Zombie Apocalypse I was a free game, the number of downloads was still shocking. No single game could achieve such a number of downloads in the global gaming industry! Su Ping believed that even Storm Gaming Company would be envious if he made the statistic public. Even if he sold the game for 10 yuan per download, he could earn hundreds of millions of yuan and immediately enter the ranks of billionaires. However, Su Ping didn¡¯t regret his decision at all. The game¡¯s production cost was almost zero since he had the system¡¯s help. Moreover, the tens of millions of downloads also demonstrated high traffic and popularity. Many players had played Zombie Apocalypse I and experienced the game¡¯s content and plot. Hence, when he released Zombie Apocalypse II, many players definitely chose to buy it! Even if many of them had never bought paid games, they would make an exception soon! As Zombie Apocalypse I became a global hit, netizens started to leave comments for Su Ping in different languages. [Why is the game only available in one language? It¡¯s unfriendly to me!] [Can the game producer release a version available in multiple languages? Otherwise, I¡¯ll have to learn and master a language just for a game. It¡¯s hard for me to do it!] [I was unaware that in the 21st century, there are still games available only in a single language. Although the game is good, the creator didn¡¯t consider the problem!] [I hope the game can add more languages soon. Even if Zombie Apocalypse I didn¡¯t plan to update its language option, at least it should be added in the future games!] Many players supported the request. Most of the players had become fans of Zombie Apocalypse. They are willing to give suggestions to help the producer improve the game. Soon, Su Ping noticed the players¡¯ request. ¡°Multi-language option? Oops, I¡¯ve forgotten about this.¡± Soon, Su Ping made his decision. ¡°System, can you help me improve the game¡¯s content by adding all the languages in the world to the game?¡± ¡°I want to let people in any region of the world play my game without language barriers!¡± ¡°Ding! Yes, host, please wait for a moment.¡± After a while, the system¡¯s voice sounded again. ¡°The game¡¯s language patch folder has been saved on the host¡¯s computer. Please check your C drive as soon as possible.¡± Su Ping was overjoyed to hear it. He immediately turned on the computer and saw a new folder on the C drive. The folder was named ¡°Zombie Apocalypse Voice Package.¡± While waiting for the voice package patch to be uploaded, Su Ping suddenly thought of something. Then he told the system something in a diffident tone. ¡°System, thank you for your help, but I would like to give you a suggestion.¡± ¡°Can you change to another drive to save the installation package instead of the C drive next time?¡± The system didn¡¯t answer. ¡°If you remain silent, I¡¯ll say you heard me.¡± Su Ping looked at the loading bar on the computer and thought to himself. ¡°It seems that the system is a product of another world. Otherwise, with the system¡¯s level of technology, it should be aware of the importance of the C drive.¡± ¡°If it saves a game containing tens of GBs into my C drive next time, will it cause my computer to run as slowly as turtles?¡± When Su Ping was bored, he wondered where the system came from. However, he had yet to find a satisfactory answer. But now, it seemed like the system was not a product of this world! Finally, a few hours later, the new voice package for Zombie Apocalypse was updated. Soon, many players found that the game was available to update on their Steam accounts. Zombie Apocalypse I changed from version 1.0 to version 1.1. Players were shocked after they finished downloading the latest version of the game. [Jesus! Is this true? The game installed the latest voice package system so quickly?] [There are 108 languages in total. Oh my God! Did the game producer include almost all the languages in the world?] [It¡¯s so scary. Who the heck is the producer of Zombie Apocalypse I? How can he include more than 100 languages in a free game? Oh my god!] [Zombie Apocalypse I once again refreshed my understanding of good games!] [I¡¯m guilty of playing the game for free now. Producer, can you post a payment QR code in the game? I¡¯m worried you don¡¯t have enough money to produce more games! If it happens, we players will suffer a huge loss!] Netizens were shocked and touched by the voice package update. When netizens recall their previous experience playing Storm Gaming Company¡¯s games, they immediately notice the difference in the game producer¡¯s attitude. If there¡¯s a bug in Storm Gaming Company¡¯s game, not to mention an immediate update like Zombie Apocalypse, Storm Gaming Company would probably procrastinate for at least half a month to a month before updating. Players have to beg Storm Gaming Company to update the game. Storm Gaming Company wouldn¡¯t optimize the game if the players didn¡¯t work together to put pressure on the company. However, when the payment system had problems, Storm Gaming Company would immediately fix them. The difference was like heaven and earth when Storm Gaming Company compared Zombie Apocalypse I. Just as the players were promoting and recommending the producer of Zombie Apocalypse treated the players sincerely. Angelica was the first host to play Zombie Apocalypse. She began receiving phone calls and text messages worldwide. Everyone knew that the best way to find the producer of Zombie Apocalypse was to find Angelica and cooperate with her! Especially when Su Ping didn¡¯t leave any contact information on Steam, Angelica seemed to be the only way to find Su Ping! ¡°Is this Miss Angelica? I¡¯m the director of Steam¡¯s game development department. Can I have a chat with you?¡± Angelica was surprised to receive a call from Steam¡¯s executive. Angelica wasn¡¯t a popular streamer in some terms. She had yet to have the opportunity to come into contact with the executives of the gaming industry. At that moment, Angelica knew that Su Ping had brought all these changes to her! Chapter 19 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Although Angelica was surprised by the call from Steam, Su Ping had told her about the situation beforehand. Su Ping expected major game development companies like Steam to try to find him through Angelica. That was why he had already told Angelica how to deal with them. Angelica adjusted her state of mind and replied indifferently. ¡°Mr. Director, I¡¯ve recently been very busy with my live stream work. I may not have time to talk with you for the time being. I¡¯m very sorry.¡± After being refused, Steam¡¯s director continued. ¡°Wait for a minute. I¡¯ll tell you why I¡¯m reaching out to you first.¡± ¡°Steam believes that Zombie Apocalypse and its following seasons will have a bright future. We are also interested in the game producer.¡± ¡°These are the thoughts of our company¡¯s president. We hope to find the producer with our greatest sincerity. We are looking forward to inviting him to cooperate with Steam!¡± ¡°I know that you know the producer. Please pass my words to him.¡± ¡°Steam can promise that if he is willing to cooperate with us, our platform will invest as many resources as possible to support his following games in the future.¡± ¡°Moreover, if he¡¯s willing to join Steam, he will be promoted right away to the position of head of the platform¡¯s technical department! He¡¯ll also receive the company¡¯s full support in the future!¡± Angelica¡¯s heart shuddered as she listened to the director¡¯s words. Steam seemed to put a lot of effort into winning Su Ping at all costs. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll pass your words to the producer.¡± ¡°However, I¡¯d like to give you heads-up. The producer doesn¡¯t intend to join any game company at the moment, so the final result may be different from what you wish.¡± Steam¡¯s director seemed calm about it, which showed his strength as a senior executive. Then, the director hung up the phone after having a small talk with Angelica. Besides Steam, Angelica also received phone calls from Storm Gaming Company and other famous game development companies worldwide. The companies basically had the same intentions as Steam¡¯s director. They hoped that Angelica would help them get in touch with Su Ping to get a chance to cooperate with him. In the end, their requests were naturally rejected by Angelica, or she ended the call with delaying tactics. Su Ping wanted her to show such an attitude. Su Ping had told Angelica that he didn¡¯t want to cooperate with any game development company. He wanted to be an independent game producer. Once he joined one of the major game development companies, it would be difficult for him to maintain his ambitions of creating high-quality games, even if the senior executives supported him with vast resources and paid attention to his work. It would likely be that he would gradually become the type of person he hated! ¡°Su Ping, are you really going to turn down all the invitations from the major game development companies? That¡¯s such a pity!¡± ¡°If you join Steam or Storm Gaming Company, your game can easily achieve better results with their resources!¡± ¡°Moreover, the salary and benefits must be extraordinary! Are you willing to give up on it?¡± In the evening, Angelica told Su Ping everything that had happened during the day on the phone. She felt that it was a pity. To be honest, Angelica believed that she would have agreed to it without hesitation if she were in Su Ping¡¯s position. Su Ping smiled after hearing her words. ¡°Haha! Of course, it¡¯s a pity.¡± ¡°However, my dream is to make more good games. Do you think that I can still produce games without being affected by money after joining these companies?¡± ¡°Can the games still be exquisite and have such high quality?¡± Angelica was silent. Su Ping continued. ¡°So, I believe that making a good game is more important than making more money. Thank you for helping me reply to those people today. Thank you for your hard work.¡± After hearing Su Ping¡¯s words, Angelica felt she had rediscovered him. She admired Su Ping from the bottom of her heart! In this era, just a few game producers weren¡¯t tempted by money. In the meantime, Zombie Apocalypse¡¯s popularity led to numerous comments from people interested in the identity of the game¡¯s producer. Netizens also began to voice their requests on the internet, hoping that the producer could let people know his identity to let them pay their respect to him. There were also many netizens concerned about the following seasons of the game. [After two days of hard work, I¡¯ve finally cleared Zombie Apocalypse I. I¡¯m looking forward to playing in the following seasons. When will Zombie Apocalypse II be released?] [Who¡¯s the game producer, and which game development company does he work for? I really want to see how he looks!] [Do the Zombie Apocalypse series going to keep being a free game? I¡¯m curious how the game producer plans to recoup his production costs!] While facing all kinds of comments on the internet, Su Ping decided to take the initiative to get in touch with the netizens without exposing his personal information. He wanted to answer the players¡¯ questions to let them rest assured. After discussing with Angelica, Su Ping obtained her permission to get in touch with the netizens through her live stream room. Su Ping would directly answer the players¡¯ questions through the live stream and strive to increase the worldwide players¡¯ confidence in the following Zombie Apocalypse series. Although Su Ping believed that his game was high-quality and that no one could resist playing it, he still had to promote it. Su Ping also posted the announcement through Angelica¡¯s forum account. Due to the popularity of Zombie Apocalypse, Angelica¡¯s forum account, which initially only had a million fans, now has more than ten million! She became one of the most popular streamers in the gaming live-stream industry. Moreover, everyone knew that Angelica had the closest relationship with the producer. Many people would visit Angelica¡¯s account almost every day to see if there were any new posts. As a result, when the most recent announcement was made, word spread worldwide that the producer of Zombie Apocalypse would be meeting the players in the live stream room. It caused a huge sensation worldwide, and even many people who didn¡¯t play games were attracted by it. They began to pay attention to the Zombie Apocalypse, which appeared out of nowhere. It was hard to imagine how popular the live stream would be! Chapter 20 - First Appearance in a Live Stream! Chapter 20 First Appearance in a Live Stream! Just as per Angelica¡¯s expectations, the number of viewers in her live stream room reached an alarming number at night before the live stream started. Millions of netizens were already waiting in the live stream room, not willing to miss a minute or a second of the live stream. People were more worried that they would miss the latest news about the game from the producer. Countless players were eagerly waiting for the news of Zombie Apocalypse II! Especially the players who had played Zombie Apocalypse I were looking forward to playing in the following series. People were curious about Alice¡¯s experience after being caught and the state of the outside world during the Zombie Apocalypse. Many experienced game strategy guides have explored the stages and plots of the Zombie Apocalypse. For example, some guides predicted that Zombie Apocalypse II might bring the players out of the underground laboratory game instance and come to the outside world! It would be the time for Zombie Apocalypse shows its authentic charm. Millions of zombies in the city were chasing and intercepting Alice. The process of players escaping and fighting with the zombies would definitely be exciting! Some guides tried to speculate the existence of Umbrella Corporation from the plot and the worldview. Moreover, they also speculated about the impact of the T-virus on this world. Many plot-oriented players were interested in these analyses. In short, Zombie Apocalypse was excellent in everything. If the players were willing to explore, they would always find endless surprises, whether it was the combat system or the complexity of the plot. At Angelica¡¯s house. Although it wasn¡¯t Su Ping¡¯s first time being a guest in Angelica¡¯s house, he was still nervous. After all, it was his first public appearance since he came to this world. Even though people didn¡¯t know his identity, Su Ping was still worried that people would suspect him. Su Ping was also worried that there was another transmigrator like him in this world. After all, Su Ping was aware of the proverb tall trees catch much wind. ¡°Haha! I didn¡¯t expect our genius game producer to be nervous.¡± ¡°If your fans can see your current condition, I bet they¡¯ll like you even more!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know that the netizens on the internet almost deify you!¡± Angelica helped Su Ping dress up. Since it was a live stream, he had to face the viewers in the best appearance. If Su Ping showed his usual unkempt appearance to the camera, he would attract numerous disapproving comments, even if he didn¡¯t mind. People working in the gaming industry worldwide had their eyes on Su Ping. Any small mistake he made would be a big mistake from their perspective! Then, it would become Su Ping¡¯s weakness, and his peers would attack him mercilessly! Finally, the live stream had officially started. Meanwhile, the number of viewers had already reached 8 million! A few days ago, Zombie Apocalypse had exceeded 10 million downloads, and soon it was going to achieve the goal of 20 million downloads. It was the reason many people watched the live stream. However, the number of current viewers was only half of the players of Zombie Apocalypse. [Where¡¯s the crazy producer? Hurry up and come out. It¡¯s already on air, and you¡¯re still hiding behind the camera!] [Where is he? Why isn¡¯t he appearing yet? I¡¯ve been looking forward for so long!] [May I ask what the relationship between the producer and Angelica is? Why did you choose Angelica¡¯s live stream room to do the live stream?] [Host, will you respond to all the questions today? When will Zombie Apocalypse II be released?] Before Su Ping showed up in front of the camera, netizens in the live stream room started asking questions. Besides questions related to the game, many netizens were also concerned about Su Ping¡¯s identity. They wanted to know where Su Ping was from and if he had any experience working for a large game development company. Until now, most people still didn¡¯t believe that Su Ping was an independent game producer. They assumed that Su Ping created Zombie Apocalypse with the help of a large game development company! It was because the game seemed to use advanced technology, which was impossible to complete alone! Finally, Su Ping showed up in person in front of the live stream camera after he was done with his preparations. ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m the game producer for Zombie Apocalypse. I won¡¯t tell you my name, but you can call me by the code name I gave myself, S.¡± Su Ping¡¯s appearance caused a sensation in the live stream room. [Fuck! The crazy game producer!] [Is that really you? The crazy game producer? You¡¯re finally here! I¡¯ve been waiting for this moment for so long!] [S? Why doesn¡¯t the host dare to tell us his name? Are you worried you¡¯ll receive blades from us after releasing the following games with lousy quality?] [I hope you keep your intention of making games. Zombie Apocalypse is a good start, but if it ends badly, we, the loyal players, will not let you off!] [Guys, don¡¯t scare the host. No one will make excellent games for us if you scare him away.] [S, the god!] Someone suddenly commented, ¡°S, the god.¡± Then the comment section began to fill with comments like ¡°S, the god.¡± ¡°Alright, alright. Everyone, please calm down. Let¡¯s get back to the main topic.¡± ¡°First, we¡¯ll talk about the progress of the game¡¯s following plot, which everyone is very concerned about.¡± ¡°The production of Zombie Apocalypse II is almost complete. It is expected that the game will be released soon.¡± ¡°Zombie Apocalypse II will be the same as Zombie Apocalypse I. The game¡¯s publicity will start in Angelica¡¯s live stream room, and everyone can join the live stream room to watch her be the first to experience the game.¡± ¡°The other question that everyone is concerned about the most is the future charges of the game.¡± Su Ping deliberately stopped talking, and the number of comments decreased. It was obvious that the players were holding their breath and waiting for Su Ping¡¯s answer. Meanwhile, Su Ping continued. ¡°Zombie Apocalypse II will most likely be promoted as a free game. Of course, we can¡¯t rule out the possibility of it being a paid game.¡± ¡°After all, I need to make a living too, so I hope everyone can understand me. I¡¯m just an independent game producer, which will never change!¡± ¡°I only belong to myself and am not an employee of any game development company. Please believe me!¡± ¡°My goal will always be to make better and more entertaining games for everyone. My intentions will never change!¡± ¡°I will also try to develop a shopping mall 11 system, a dressing system, and other additional payment modes in Zombie Apocalypse II. I hope you guys can act within your means and spend your money wisely!¡± Chapter 21 - The Official Open Beta of the New Map, Raccoon City Chapter 21 The Official Open Beta of the New Map, Raccoon City [There will be a fashion store system in the game? That¡¯s great! Although I¡¯m not rich, I still want to do my part for Zombie Apocalypse! I¡¯ll definitely buy skins in the game!] [Finally, there¡¯s something that I¡¯ve been looking for. I¡¯m just not sure what the effect of the skin system would be like. I hope the skins in the store will be able to match the game environment and atmosphere!] [Finally, there¡¯s a way for me to pay for the game. I¡¯ve been dying of guilt when playing this game for free!] After the players learned that the payment system would be added to the following Zombie Apocalypse series, Su Ping didn¡¯t get criticized or scolded like Storm Gaming Company or other gaming companies. On the other hand, the players were eager to purchase game items from the game store. It was the result of the game¡¯s excellent quality and reputation. ¡°Haha! Thank you for your support, but my words are still the same, spend your money wisely. You should spend only a little money in the store because there will eventually be a paid version of the game.¡± ¡°It will be better to pay more attention to the game itself. It¡¯s my honor and happiness as a game producer to receive everyone¡¯s good reviews.¡± Then, the host responded to some questions in the comment section, which were irrelevant. However, Su Ping had already answered most of the crucial questions. Soon, the live stream came to an end. Just when the audience thought the live stream was about to end and felt a little reluctant¡­ Su Ping dropped a bombshell. ¡°Initially, today¡¯s live stream is going to end here. After seeing everyone¡¯s enthusiasm, I¡¯ll add a new bit of information at the last minute.¡± Upon hearing it, countless players who were about to leave the live stream room immediately stopped their actions. ¡°Zombie Apocalypse II is about to be released. I can tell you a little about its plot. It isn¡¯t a spoiler, just a little hint to raise your expectations for the story and game.¡± As soon as Su Ping said this, the number of comments in the live stream room decreased significantly. Apparently, everyone was holding their breath and waiting for Su Ping to continue his words. ¡°In season two, our character, Alice, will leave The Hive and enter Raccoon City to fight and explore the area.¡± ¡°She will fight with all her might with her teammates to survive in the cruel apocalyptic world!¡± ¡°You will witness the crisis of the apocalypse and the trust between humans in the game. I hope everyone will like it!¡± ¡°Meanwhile, I¡¯m going to challenge players worldwide through this live stream.¡± ¡°When Zombie Apocalypse II is officially released, I will find the first 10,000 players worldwide who have cleared Zombie Apocalypse II through the game statistics.¡± ¡°After completing the challenge, these players will be given first dibs on playing the next game. The new game doesn¡¯t just include the Zombie Apocalypse series. They will be the first to experience any game released after Zombie Apocalypse II!¡± ¡°I hope everyone will participate in this event after the game is officially released to get a head start on others in the following games!¡± The comments filled the live stream room when Su Ping finished his words. [Fuck! Producer, are you trying to shock all of us to death? You revealed so much information all at once. My god, my brain can¡¯t process all the information.] [My brain has already shut down. Happiness has arrived all of a sudden!] [When will Zombie Apocalypse II be released? I must be one of the first 10,000 people who clear the game!] [No one can steal one of the 10,000 spots from me!] [Raccoon City? I knew there would be a new map in season two. Haha! I love street fighting since I¡¯m good at it!] [Ten thousand people eagerly request Zombie Apocalypse II to be released as soon as possible!] As Su Ping saw the positive comments, he pressed the ¡°off¡± button and ended the live stream. The content of today¡¯s live stream was destined to sweep through the global Internet. The information Su Ping had revealed in the live stream room would spread worldwide. Tens of millions of gamers were looking forward to the release of Zombie Apocalypse II. Finally, after much anticipation, Zombie Apocalypse II was officially released. Su Ping thought it over and decided not to let Angelica play the game before it was officially released. After all, he had issued a challenge at the end of the last live stream. If Angelica had played the game beforehand, there would have been many people who would have studied the live stream in detail and found ways and strategies to clear the game before the game was released quickly. It will be unfair to players who didn¡¯t know about Angelica and didn¡¯t watch her live stream. Hence, Su Ping treated everyone equally. Angelica could only experience the game after it was officially released. Su Ping nevertheless sent Angelica the game¡¯s installation package beforehand so she could install it due to her persistent requests. However, she could only start playing after the open beta. Zombie Apocalypse II was officially opened for beta testing on a sunny morning! Since Zombie Apocalypse I was a free game, Su Ping didn¡¯t earn money from it. Hence, things were the same for Zombie Apocalypse II since he didn¡¯t have the money for promotion. People could only get information through Su Ping¡¯s announcement on Steam or by visiting Angelica¡¯s forum account to find the latest news. Nevertheless, many players were still aware of the release date for Zombie Apocalypse II in advance. They also knew Angelica might experience the game live in her streaming room. As a result, shortly after she started her live stream that morning, the number of concurrent viewers in her live stream room shot up quickly and reached a tremendous number. Many people didn¡¯t even go to work today since they wanted to watch the live stream. [Host, when can we start playing Zombie Apocalypse II? I¡¯m sure you¡¯re the first person in the world to play the game!] [Host, I bet you finished playing the game a few days ago, right? The crazy game producer definitely let you play the game beforehand since you¡¯re on such good terms with him.] [Why aren¡¯t you opening the game? If you don¡¯t, we¡¯re going to unsubscribe you!] [I feel like 10,000 ants are crawling on my body. Can you quickly start the game?] As the popularity of the live stream room had reached Angelica¡¯s expectations,it was finally time for the official open beta of Zombie Apocalypse II. Angelica didn¡¯t continue to chat with the viewers in the live steam room or keep them in suspense. She immediately double-clicked the logo of Zombie Apocalypse II on the screen and started the game. Chapter 22 - Completed Zombie Apocalypse II in an Hour by Cheating? Chapter 22 Completed Zombie Apocalypse II in an Hour by Cheating? [What do you guys think will happen in Raccoon City today? Can the producer make this city the Zombie Apocalypse we expected?] [According to the performance of Zombie Apocalypse I, season two should also be produced to high standards. Let¡¯s believe it first before we question it!] [I hope the new Raccoon City map will bring us more surprises!] [You all are discussing the game¡¯s plot. Am I the only one who thinks the host won¡¯t be able to clear the game today?] [That makes sense. Zombie Apocalypse I is more like a beginner¡¯s guide, telling you the game¡¯s background and how to kill zombies efficiently. Zombie Apocalypse II should be much more difficult!] [Ah? Zombie Apocalypse I is already tough. If Zombie Apocalypse II is more challenging, will there be 10,000 players in the world to be able to clear it?] [You¡¯re underestimating the excellent gamers!] The gaming community erupted just as Angelica began playing Zombie Apocalypse II on her live stream. The announcement of the official release of Zombie Apocalypse II swept the world like a raging fire. Many people who had just learned the news would turn on their computers, open Steam, and click the download button as soon as possible! Since Zombie Apocalypse II was still a free game, its reputation attracted many people who hadn¡¯t experienced Zombie Apocalypse I to join the fan base. Meanwhile, the hottest topic on the global forum was finding the first person to clear Zombie Apocalypse II! As the game grew in popularity, the first person to complete it unknowingly became significant. [Guys, does anyone know who the first person to clear the game is? When this person appears, we must post it for everyone to look up to!] [God bless me! I wish I could clear Zombie Apocalypse II on the first try!] [Although I¡¯m a noob, I prefer watching the excellent gamers clear the game!] [The game has just been released. How can someone clear it so fast? According to my experience in playing Zombie Apocalypse I, it might take at least three to four hours!] After a heated discussion among the players, most agreed it would take at least three hours to clear Zombie Apocalypse II. As the first live streamer to clear Zombie Apocalypse I, it took her more than three hours to finish the game. The difficulty of Zombie Apocalypse II would definitely be even more challenging. Therefore, it may take even longer. However, an hour after the game was released, a post appeared on the internet. ¡°Shocking news! The first person in the world to complete Zombie Apocalypse II has appeared!¡± Soon the post was fast-reposted by numerous netizens, and the title turned ridiculous. ¡°The god of gaming completed Zombie Apocalypse II within an hour!¡± ¡°On a roll? Zombie Apocalypse II source code has been leaked!¡± The popularity of the news soared rapidly, and countless netizens were shocked by it. People were asking who the person who cleared the game first was. People were looking for video links about the person who first cleared the game, wanting to admire the person. After searching for a long time, the final result made countless netizens¡¯ jaws drop. The first player in the world to clear Zombie Apocalypse II was a live gaming streamer, Mikuya, whom netizens had often ridiculed. The live streamer was also called a beautiful person with a rough voice! Mikuya was good-looking, and she debuted as a member of a girl group. However, as she shouted on the live stream, her voice became rougher and rougher, which caused countless male viewers to feel physiologically uncomfortable to varying degrees. In the end, they unanimously gave her the nickname. Some even called her the deaf bride. After getting the news, countless netizens started to join Mikuya¡¯s live stream. However, the netizens joining Mikuya¡¯s live stream weren¡¯t there to admire her results. They were here to question her! [It took Angelica more than three hours to clear Zombie Apocalypse I, but why can you complete it within an hour? Are you cheating!] [It¡¯s just a game. Do you really have to cheat? You have such a terrible character!] [Although you¡¯re the first person to clear the game, do you really think you can get everyone¡¯s recognition by cheating?] [Hurry up and apologize with a good attitude. We can let you off this time!] Mikuya was in the middle of her live stream. She stopped the content she was doing on her live stream when she saw overwhelming comments questioning her. At that moment, Mikuya went furious. ¡°How can you all doubt that I¡¯m cheating? I¡¯m a streamer with numerous fans. How can I cheat secretly?¡± ¡°Moreover, there¡¯s no proof. Why do you think I¡¯m cheating? Show me the evidence! I¡¯m the first to clear Zombie Apocalypse II, and many viewers in my live stream room saw it!¡± [That¡¯s right! Mikuya cleared the game very smoothly. To be honest, we viewers didn¡¯t think it was real either, but she really didn¡¯t cheat.] [I can prove that Mikuya didn¡¯t cheat. She cleared the game by killing the monsters herself!] Even though many viewers in the live stream explained the situation, too many viewers joined the live stream room later. Their explanations were undoubtedly a drop in the bucket, and the comments were still full of doubts. Finally, Mikuya couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Before the live stream ended, she found the recording of her playing Zombie Apocalypse II. Then, she quickly edited it into a video and posted it on a popular video website. She even showed the link on the live stream. ¡°Have a look! Here¡¯s the evidence that I¡¯ve cleared Zombie Apocalypse II. Watch the whole video before questioning me!¡± ¡°If you can find evidence proving I¡¯m cheating, I¡¯ll accept all your insults!¡± Mikuya¡¯s attitude was extremely unyielding. Due to her swift actions, the doubtful viewers were immediately rendered speechless. Soon, all of them clicked on the link and watched the video. Meanwhile, the viewers exclaimed in surprise at Mikuya¡¯s actions. She was decisive and gave people a domineering vibe! Her actions had already made some viewers realize that someone might have influenced their previous doubts. Could it be that Mikuya was the first to successfully clear Zombie Apocalypse II? Did she really complete Zombie Apocalypse II in an hour with her strength? Meanwhile, Mikuya dropped another bombshell. ¡°To prove my strength, I¡¯ll play Zombie Apocalypse II again and complete the game live!¡± Chapter 23 - The Game Have Higher Achievements Than Zombie Apocalypse I! Chapter 23 The Game Have Higher Achievements Than Zombie Apocalypse I! The popularity of Mikuya¡¯s live stream had reached an unprecedented level. The title of the first person in the world to clear Zombie Apocalypse II was famous. Furthermore, many people in the world were pursuing the title. No one ever thought it would be taken by Mikuya, someone infamous for her gaming skills but famous for her jokes. [The host is going to win the game on the second try. It¡¯s hard for me not to believe her!] [Huh, host, don¡¯t be nervous. If you make a mistake, everyone will understand.] [I hope the host can do yourself justice and is not affected by the negative comments!] Soon, Mikuya opened Zombie Apocalypse II and entered the game. The game¡¯s opening scene was similar to Zombie Apocalypse I, which showed a plot animation. It showed a sunny day in Raccoon City. Citizens were living their lives as usual. No one knew that the T-virus had been leaked from The Hive, located underground. Then, the scene switched to a school classroom. A group of men in suits and sunglasses entered the classroom during class and took a girl away. The girl was the daughter of Dr. Charles. Dr. Charles worked for the Umbrella Corporation. Meanwhile, the Umbrella Corporation realized that a crisis was occurring, so they launched an operation within the city to bring the company¡¯s essential personnel out of town in advance. The scene changed again. This time, there were many photos of different news stories. One of the pictures showed the entire content of a newspaper. News such as many violent injury incidents were occurring unexpectedly in the city, and chaotic battles broke out on the streets. At the end of the animation, the scene switched to the Raccoon City Police Station, where a group of thugs was wreaking havoc. However, the police officers had no idea that the thugs were zombies infected with the virus. They were still entangled with these people, trying to comfort them. At this moment, a beautiful female police officer, Jill, suddenly walked in and decisively shot all the zombies. At this point, the plot animation came to an end. Those in the live stream room were engrossed in the Zombie Apocalypse story while this was going on. Many people had forgotten that it was just a game, not a movie! Even the streamer, Mikuya, forgot to start the game after the plot animation ended. Instead, she stood in a daze, reminiscing about the scene she had watched just now. She ignored the plot since she only wanted to clear the game quickly on her first try. She was impressed by the plot since she had watched the details this time. [Damn, it¡¯s ridiculous! Are you telling me this is a game, and it¡¯s a free game?] [Unbelievable! I thought it was hard for Zombie Apocalypse II to be on par with Zombie Apocalypse I in terms of quality. I didn¡¯t expect it would achieve a higher goal than Zombie Apocalypse I!] [Su Ping has invested a lot of money in it! Zombie Apocalypse I was free, and the cost of producing Zombie Apocalypse II is obviously higher, but it¡¯s still free!] [I¡¯m worried that the Zombie Apocalypse will stop updating due to the financial crisis!] [Where¡¯s the host? Hurry up and move! The plot animation has already ended!] [Haha! The host is currently in a daze. Let the host take a break!] With the reminders in the comments, Mikuya eventually came to her senses and controlled her excitement and expectation. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, everyone. The game is about to start.¡± After the game started, Mikuya opened her eyes and found herself awake in a clean and tidy laboratory. The most important thing was that she was completely naked! [Fuck! Is this a game I can play for free?] [All the underaged viewers in the live stream room, please leave immediately. The game is not suitable for you!] [Haha! What a kind producer. He¡¯s secretly giving us benefits, right?] Mikuya couldn¡¯t help but be shy when she saw the viewers¡¯ mocking comments because she was playing Alice¡¯s character. She quickly found a cloth covering her body and groped her way out of the laboratory. It turned out that Mikuya was in a hospital. After walking down the hallway, she finally found the hospital¡¯s main entrance. When she walked out of the door and saw the scene outside, everyone in the live stream room was utterly shocked. [This¡­ This is Raccoon City?] [Oh my god, what a desolate city! It really seems like the end of the world! The producer has perfectly recreated the apocalypse!] [Unbelivable¡­ What happened to turn a bustling city into a desolate city?] The comments started to discuss everything about Raccoon City. As a second-round player, Mikuya found a scattergun and a few bullets from a damaged police car on the side of the road with ease. Then she walked into a clothing store by the street and found a set of equipment and an outfit in a box. The outfit looked cool, but it seemed a little out of place with the style of the clothing store. Moreover, the weapons and equipment in the box were all advanced and brand new. They looked similar to standard military equipment. After getting changed and fully armed, Mikuya quickly explained the situation to the viewers. ¡°These clothes and weapons are purchased from the game store.¡± ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t forget that Zombie Apocalypse II has added a game store system. There are many different styles of combat suits for sale. Also, they all look fabulous and suitable for battle.¡± ¡°The outfit and weapon only cost me around 10 yuan, which has increased my gaming experience. It¡¯s a good deal!¡± While hearing Mikuya¡¯s words, the viewers suddenly come to a realization. [So much equipment and such a cool outfit cost around 10 yuan? He¡¯s indeed a conscientious producer!] [No wonder the clothing store happened to have such a box.] [Go on and hurry up! Go to the streets to fight the zombies!] After Mikuya received the equipment, the game screen suddenly turned black. When the game continued, it was already nighttime. Suddenly, a pop-up window appeared in front of her. It had a location on it that looked like a church. ¡°It¡¯s a quest issued by the system. It¡¯s also a guide to help players find their way and gather more NPCs to leave the city together. ¡°I won¡¯t give any spoilers to ensure everyone¡¯s viewing experience. So, let¡¯s go to the church according to the mission guide.¡± ¡°According to my experience, we¡¯d better find a motorcycle before we go to the church!¡± ¡°The motorcycle will be useful in the future!¡± Mikuya left the viewers hanging as she went out to look for a motorcycle. Chapter 24 - The Human Nature Showed in the Game Chapter 24 The Human Nature Showed in the Game Soon, Mikuya arrived at the church on her motorcycle. Before she entered, she could hear strange sounds from the church and humans¡¯ feared screams. However, Mikuya didn¡¯t stop her motorcycle. Her chosen route was right in front of the church¡¯s colorful window. She rode her bike straight through the window, drawing an arc in the air as she entered the church. Mikuya leaped from the motorcycle into the air and landed on the ground. The motorcycle seemed to have hit something in the air, making a loud noise. Mikuya quickly pulled out the pistol from her waist, aimed at the motorcycle¡¯s fuel tank, and pulled the trigger. ¡°Boom!¡± With a loud sound, the motorcycle immediately exploded. The terrifying flames seemed to wrap around a giant creature, and a terrible roar sounded. The blazing flames soon charred the creature¡¯s body. It was lying on the ground, unable to move. Finally, the live stream¡¯s viewers could see what the dead creature looked like. The comments in the live stream were shocked by Mikuya¡¯s smooth actions. [Fuck! It¡¯s the Licker!] [It¡¯s indeed Zombie Apocalypse II! The first fight starts with the big boss in Zombie Apocalypse I!] [Although it¡¯s not the first time I¡¯ve seen this monster, I still feel uncomfortable!] [Host, you¡¯re amazing! I¡¯m afraid that only a few people can do this. I now believe that you¡¯re the first person to clear Zombie Apocalypse II due to your strength!] At the moment, Mikuya wasn¡¯t in the mood to pay attention to the comments. She knew she still had to kill the two Lickers in the huge church. The next moment, a Licker jumped onto the ground and approached her. Many viewers doubted Mikuya¡¯s ability to survive her confrontation with the Licker. Suddenly, Mikuya raised her hand but didn¡¯t aim her gun at the Licker¡¯s body. Instead, she shot the cross wall hanging of the church! Mikuya shot the metal chain with her gun, which was used to fix the cross. Soon, the metallic cross fell from the wall. It hit the Licker¡¯s body. Even if the Licker had powerful genes and a strong body, it couldn¡¯t survive being hit with the cross¡¯s weight. It immediately smashed into pieces. There was one more left! Mikuya suddenly turned around and shot the Licker hiding behind the cover without aiming! The shot hit the Licker¡¯s brain and killed it immediately! From the moment they entered the church to the moment they finished the battle, Mikuya had only spent less than a minute! As everyone knew, the Lickers were the big boss in Zombie Apocalypse I. However, three of them appeared at once in Zombie Apocalypse II. Anyone else would have thought that it was a dead end. Mikuya¡¯s performance was perfect. She finished off the three enemies quickly without paying any price! She had also saved a few NPCs in the church! [Bravo! How did you do it? This is how you solve the situation?] [I¡¯ve just watched PDD¡¯s live stream. I felt pity for him when seeing him being tortured by three Lickers. I didn¡¯t expect Mikuya to be efficient!] [It¡¯s so scary! She took down three bosses within a minute. Now, who dares to doubt her strength!] [Mikuya, you¡¯re going to be famous! There must be a lot of hacks of the game that started to analyze your actions and release guiding videos!] [You¡¯re too strong. Host, I want to learn this!] Mikuya smiled in satisfaction while seeing the praising comments. Mikuya thought, ¡°Weren¡¯t you mocking me just now? Why did you all suddenly change your attitude?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that I was cheating to clear the game? Why did you all stop mentioning it?¡± Meanwhile, Mikuya said, ¡°Haha! Everyone, stop praising me. I¡¯m shy.¡± ¡°Actually, to me, these are just the basics. It¡¯s not difficult at all. As long as everyone is willing to learn, you can do it too!¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s continue with the next stage of the plot.¡± The smug look on Mikuya¡¯s face made the comments disapprove of her actions. [Tut-tut, the host, is getting arrogant by just clearing the first stage?] (Huh, I don¡¯t believe you¡¯ll always be able to complete such a perfect operation. Just smug for now!] [Is she the Mikuya I know?] The game continued. Mikuya began communicating with the NPCs in the church according to the instructions since it would unlock hidden plots. Furthermore, these NPCs would work together with Mikuya to trigger a new plot. After a conversation with NPC Jill, Mikuya obtained a video camera. The live stream showed a recording stored inside the video camera. It turned out that there was a survivor priest in the church, but the priest¡¯s sister was infected by the virus and became a zombie. However, the priest was unwilling to kill his sister and firmly believed she was still alive. He went so far as locking his zombie sister on a chair and feeding her with human corpses! When the viewers saw the scene, they stopped commenting in the comment section. It was as if everyone in the live stream room was holding their breath and controlling their heartbeat. After the priest was accidentally bit by his sister and killed by Jill by gunshot, the atmosphere in the live stream room returned to normal. The comments were cheering for the priest¡¯s death. [Fuck! Is the priest crazy? He thinks that his sister is still alive?] [What a detailed hidden plot. Suddenly, I feel like the world in the game is more natural.] [If the zombie apocalypse breaks out in our lives, the priest¡¯s actions are likely to happen in reality. The producer is so detailed!] [Thank you, producer. Even though it¡¯s a free game, it still shows us a realistic apocalyptic world.] [The priest is perverted. He deserves to die!] The team continued on their journey. When they passed by a cemetery, Mikuya stopped and pointed her gun at one of the team members, Peyton. Mikuya claimed that the virus had infected Peyton, so they had to kill him as soon as possible! However, another gun was pointed at Mikuya¡¯s head the next moment. It was Jill. She couldn¡¯t let her companion simply be killed by Mikuya. Even though Mikuya tried to persuade Jill, she couldn¡¯t change Jill¡¯s attitude. [Holy Mother! Does she think they still got time to procrastinate!] [What¡¯s wrong with this woman? If she didn¡¯t have the serum, the man would still die sooner or later, right?] [Sigh, although watching the scene makes me uncomfortable, this is human nature in the apocalyptic crisis!] Chapter 25 - Umbrella Corporation Is Going to Wipe Out Raccoon City?! Chapter 25 Umbrella Corporation Is Going to Wipe Out Raccoon City?! When the two argued, rotten hands reached out from the cemetery under their feet and grabbed everyone¡¯s ankles and calves. The cemetery¡¯s zombies came back to life! Mikuya was a second-round player, so she was mentally prepared for it. However, it was the first time most live-stream viewers saw the scene. [Fuck! What are these? The T-virus can even infect the dead?] [Crazy! It¡¯s too crazy!] [I knew it! Nothing good would happen when coming to the cemetery in the middle of the night!] [The producer is too evil. Everyone will be scared to death by the scene when playing the game alone!] The comments were all ridiculing the nightmarish plot. Mikuya and her companions fought as they retreated. Finally, they escaped the zombies¡¯ encirclement and arrived at the main street. Suddenly, the game paused. A plot animation about another person¡¯s perspective was shown. The new plot immediately attracted the viewers¡¯ attention, and everyone watched the screen attentively. It showed a plan called ¡°Nemesis¡± officially launched in Umbrella Corporation¡¯s camp outside Raccoon City. Afterward, an extraordinarily huge and ugly human-shaped monster woke up in a laboratory. It was a human-shaped biological weapon created by Umbrella Corporation. On the other side, the three Special Forces abandoned by Umbrella Corporation were seeking help from the company. However, they didn¡¯t receive any response. Suddenly, a helicopter appeared in the sky. The three Special Forces thought it was a rescue team sent by the company. However, they realized the helicopter ignored their calls for help and went directly to the city center. The three of them came to the building in the center of the city. They could only see a few opened large supply boxes. The weapons inside were big, and obviously, it was not suitable for human use. The story ended here, and the comments in the live stream room immediately started a heated discussion. [There¡¯s a profound comprehension of the plot! The large supply box in the building should be for Nemesis!] [Poor Umbrella Corporation employees are just pawns of the company!] [Umbrella Corporation is just too evil. They¡¯re definitely the biggest villain in the game!] [It seems that the big boss of Zombie Apocalypse II should be the humanoid monster. The Licker appears to be inferior compared to this monster!] Mikuya led the team to continue the game. Meanwhile, a strange phenomenon occurred. Every time they passed by a public phone, it would ring. Many viewers were trying to persuade her not to pick up the call as it must be something wrong. However, Mikuya picked up the phone without hesitation, and a man¡¯s voice came from the other end. He was Angela¡¯s father, Dr. Charles! He never gave up on saving his daughter, and he had confirmed his daughter¡¯s location! ¡°I need you to help me save my daughter. In return, I¡¯ll tell you how to leave Raccoon City!¡± ¡°Umbrella Corporation has completely sealed off the city. You won¡¯t be able to leave that place alive without my hints!¡± ¡°Moreover, I can tell you in advance that Umbrella Corporation will soon launch a miniature nuclear bomb to wipe out the city entirely. If you can¡¯t leave before it happens, you¡¯ll only die there!¡± ¡°Consider my request carefully. The deal is good for both of us.¡± Dr. Charles thought he would waste a lot of time and effort to get Mikuya¡¯s trust. He didn¡¯t expect Mikuya to readily agree, leaving Dr. Charles unable to finish his lines. After hanging up the phone, Mikuya told Jill and the others about the mission to save Angela, but they all objected. However, when she told them the city was about to be wiped out by miniature nuclear bombs, it was passed by vote. Since no one would rescue them, fighting to the end was better than staying there and doing nothing. The recent scene caused a frenzy of comments. The viewers were furious when Umbrella Corporation planned to cover up the truth through the media after launching the nuclear bomb and disguise their actions as a nuclear power plant leak. [Wow! I thought Umbrella Corporation created the T-virus was evil enough, but it turns out they¡¯re going to use nuclear weapons!] [Is Umbrella Corporation planning to give up on all the survivors in the city?] [How can such a company exist in the world? No wonder the zombie apocalypse broke out!] [Typical whitewashing! Haha! That¡¯s how our media works. As long as you pay them, you can do whatever you want!] The comments in the live stream room ridiculed the media platforms controlled by capitalism. Soon, the team arrived at a bridge. Suddenly, Mikuya stopped walking. Peyton also heard strange noises and turned to look down at the bridge. However, he was suddenly shot by a rain of bullets and died immediately. Mikuya wore a very solemn expression on her face even though she was a second-round player. She knew the first challenge was coming! ¡°You guys go to the school and find Angela first. I¡¯ll meet up with you after I get rid of this thing!¡± In the previous game, Mikuya had planned a perfect escape route. If she continued to stay with the NPCs, it would only increase the game¡¯s difficulty. Hence, she let them leave first. Finally, Mikuya met the giant zombie. Unfortunately, the difference in size and weapons between the two was significant. Mikuya couldn¡¯t help but be helpless. Luckily, the escape route that Mikuya had prepared came into effect. After crossing countless streets, Mikuya found a trash chute inside a shop. Mikuya could survive since the zombie after her couldn¡¯t go through the pipes due to its size. Her miraculous escape immediately shocked the viewers. [Oh my God! Is that you, host? I suspect that you¡¯re not the host I subscribed to!] [Do a urinalysis! Do a urinalysis immediately! Something isn¡¯t right!] [The host survived? Did she play the giant zombie for a fool? Is this reasonable?] [Don¡¯t be at ease after achieving a minor goal. It is just the start. To end the game, you¡¯ll have to kill the giant zombie!] After being shocked, Mikuya needed some time to calm down, so she interacted with the viewers. ¡°You¡¯re right. The giant zombie is indeed the big boss, and there¡¯s a post-credits scene at the end of the plot.¡± ¡°Everyone must focus on the following plot. Make sure to catch all of the plots!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go to the school to save Angela and leave this damn place!¡± Chapter 26 - Plot Twist! He Created the Virus! Chapter 26 Plot Twist! He Created the Virus! As soon as Mikuya started her journey, it showed a plot animation. The viewers were already used to the producer¡¯s tricks. Everyone knew that the game¡¯s producer liked to explain the background to the players through such flashbacks or to give them some insight into the plot. In the plot animation, Jill and the others had already arrived at the school mentioned by Dr. Charles. The school had a gloomy atmosphere and gave off a terrifying feeling. Meanwhile, Jill and the others made the wrong decision, which was to split up! [Split up? Alright, I can imagine someone will suffer without continuing to watch!] [Sigh, why do the characters in stories like to split up whenever they encounter a problem?] As the viewers had anticipated, a female reporter was encircled by a bunch of zombies while searching around. In the end, she was devoured by the zombies in the corner. Moreover, the camera in her hand had fallen to the ground beside her, recording the entire process. On the other side, Jill was also attacked by the zombies. Carlos and the others arrived at the school on time. They also received Dr. Charles¡¯s request to rescue Angela. However, they were soon surrounded by a horde of zombies and zombie dogs. At crunch time, Jill opened the gas pipe in the room and led everyone out. She also threw a match to ignite it. However, no one knew that the match would extinguish before it fell to the ground due to the low temperature! The plot animation ended just as everyone was at their wits¡¯ end. Mikuya had regained control of Alice. It seemed like the game was speeding up. Mikuya had arrived at the school and saw Jill and the others fighting the zombies not far away. Mikuya took out a lighter and threw it into the school. This time, nothing unexpected happened. All the zombies were exterminated after the terrifying explosion, protecting everyone from the zombies. [That¡¯s it? She just threw a lighter, and that¡¯s it? Where¡¯s the battle I¡¯m looking forward to?] [What¡¯s the situation? Isn¡¯t the scene in school supposed to be the most exciting? Why did it simply end?] [Don¡¯t worry. The game producer might use the plot to explain the background. The war is coming!] [That¡¯s right! Isn¡¯t it exhausting to keep fighting in this game? The way the game is going, in my opinion, is perfect!] The viewers had their own opinions. Some were dissatisfied with the sloppiness of the battle, while others cared more about the game¡¯s plot. The following conversation between Mikuya and Angela finally revealed a shocking secret. It turned out that the T-virus that caused the zombie apocalypse was created by Angela¡¯s father, Dr. Charles! His actions were intended to treat Angela¡¯s leg disability. ¡°The T-virus can revive the dead cells in the human body and make the human body stronger. That¡¯s why I¡¯m able to stand up!¡± ¡°But soon, Umbrella Corporation forcibly took away the virus from my father and created the apocalypse!¡± At the end of the conversation, Mikuya found a box with T-virus antibodies from Angela. Mikuya took out a T-virus antibody to treat Carlos, whom a zombie had bitten in the recent battle. [Oh my god! It turns out that Dr. Charles caused the incident. I once thought he was good when he put himself in danger to save his daughter!] [So, it¡¯s the truth of the tragedy. I can only say that while the plot is magical realism, the reality is sometimes the same!] [The producer is thoughtful. The plot twist made us feel enlightened. It¡¯s satisfying!] [Are there people who just said that the plot is boring? Hurry up and come out!] Meanwhile, Mikuya and the others had successfully saved Angela, and they could finally start the last stage of the story. Dr. Charles mentioned over the phone that there was one last helicopter in use on the building in the city center before the nuclear bomb. They could leave Raccoon City if they could board the helicopter on time. Everyone then headed to the building. When they arrived at the building, Mikuya suddenly decided to split up with the others. Then, she relied on her agility and concealment and quickly climbed up the stairs to the roof of the building. At first, the live stream viewers were confused by her actions. [What¡¯s the host doing? Isn¡¯t it over if they found a plane and left? Why do they have to split up?] [The host must have discovered something since she is a second-round player.] [There must be something wrong with the roof of the building!] Just as the viewers were discussing it enthusiastically, a sniper¡¯s figure appeared in Mikuya¡¯s vision, as she expected. The sniper was hiding on the roof. He was prepared to shoot Carlos and the others who had just walked into the building¡¯s front square. Fortunately, Mikuya arrived on time and killed the sniper. At that moment, a bunch of Umbrella Corporation guards rushed over and surrounded the group. After a fierce gunfight, the group finally killed all the guards and successfully found the helicopter at the aircraft depot. Just when everyone thought the game was about to end, the situation that happened in the helicopter caught everyone by surprise. Cain suddenly showed up and kidnapped Angela! [It¡¯s finally here! I knew there would be a plot twist!] [Haha! As expected, it¡¯s the final battle of the game!] [Cain isn¡¯t a good person either. He took a child as a hostage!] Although the viewers took up the cudgel for Mikuya, Cain eventually caught her. Saving Angela was one of the quests in the game. If Angela died, it would be counted as a game failure. Mikuya had to ensure Angela could leave this city with everyone alive. Meanwhile, the colossal zombie Nemesis also arrived on the scene. Then, Cain let Mikuya go and asked her to fight Nemesis! Cain even shot Dr. Charles to force Mikuya to do as he said. Mikuya was forced to fight Nemesis. However, Mikuya was barehanded and was no match for Nemesis. [Isn¡¯t it unfair? No one can kill such a monster without a weapon other than Superman, right?] [The difficulty of the game is unreasonable!] The viewers began to worry when they realized Mikuya was in a bad situation. They even suspected that the producer made things difficult for the players on purpose. Was it a form of Su Ping¡¯s abhorrent addiction? Chapter 27 - Matt, the Sorrowful NPC. Viewers Are Angry With the Producer! Chapter 27 Matt, the Sorrowful NPC. Viewers Are Angry With the Producer! ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everyone. This stage is just like a murder mystery game. I can continue the next plot as long as I¡¯m alive!¡± With Mikuya¡¯s reminder, the comments finally calmed down. The battle continued. Since Mikuya was so badly defeated that she couldn¡¯t fight back, Cain started to get bored. He tossed the two nunchucks to Mikuya. He watched the battle between Mikuya and Nemesis like a cat watching a mouse. Although Nemesis was gigantic, its strength was even more incredible. However, compared to its terrifying power, it was weak in speed! Mikuya gradually gained an advantage with her agile body. During the fight, she noticed a steel plate protruding from the wall. She continuously moved toward the steel plate during the battle. Finally, Mikuya kicked Nemesis at the right time and successfully nailed Nemesis¡¯s body into the steel plate, which decided the battle¡¯s outcome. [Jesus, is this how you defeat Nemesis? I didn¡¯t expect it at all!] [No wonder you¡¯re able to clear the game in an hour. From killing the three Lickers with the motorcycle to killing Nemesis with the surrounding environment, you¡¯ve been using shortcuts!] [Haha! I wonder how the other players are doing. Are they desperately fighting Nemesis? How will they feel when seeing how the host defeat Nemesis?] Although the viewers were cheering for her, the game wasn¡¯t over. Then, Cain asked Mikuya to kill the defenseless Nemesis. Suddenly, it showed a flashback memory. There was another plot twist. Only then did people know that the ugly-looking Nemesis in front of Mikuya was actually Matt, Alice¡¯s teammate in Zombie Apocalypse I! Both of them had been injected with a large amount of T-virus by Umbrella Corporation for experiments and the production of biological weapons. However, the path of their evolution was utterly different. Matt¡¯s evolution seemed to have reached a dead end, which was why he had become such an ugly-looking monster. Mikuya couldn¡¯t kill him since he was once his teammate. Moreover, she knew that Matt still had some consciousness. Suddenly, some viewers discovered a detail and immediately shouted in the live stream room. They even paid for a prop to let everyone see their comments. [Look! Nemesis seems to be crying! He had regained his memories! He recognized Alice!] The comments blew up the atmosphere in the live stream room. [Fuck! He¡¯s really crying. Oh my god!] [Poor Matt. Producer, how could you bear to let him suffer such pain? Even if he¡¯s just an NPC, why is he having such a tragic ending!] [I want to send the producer some blades!] [Brothers, let¡¯s all charge at the producer together when he does another live stream!] Numerous viewers took up the cudgels for Matt. They all agreed that Matt was definitely the most tragic NPC of the two games. Meanwhile, Cain realized that Mikuya wasn¡¯t willing to kill Nemesis. He ordered his subordinate to send out an order for Nemesis to kill Mikuya. In fact, Nemesis wasn¡¯t dead. After receiving the order, it quickly broke free from the steel plate, picked up the huge gatling gun in its hand, and aimed at Mikuya. When everyone thought Mikuya would fail the game because of her kindness, the tables turned again! The gatling gun poured out a rain of bullets, destroying everything in front of it. However, not a single bullet hit Mikuya. Instead, it killed all the soldiers from Umbrella Corporation! [Matt! He regained consciousness!] [Oh my god! He still chose to help his teammate!] [You¡¯re such a good man, Matt!] [Boohoo! Matt is such a good person. Why did the despicable producer treat him like this?] Matt¡¯s performance won over the viewers. Who wouldn¡¯t like a lively NPC? While seeing the situation turn bad, Cain hurriedly boarded the plane and tried to escape. Surprisingly, Ah Jie, seated in the pilot¡¯s seat rather than his subordinate, was waiting for him. On the other side, Mikuya, Carlos, and the others were fighting with the remaining Umbrella Corporation soldiers. Suddenly, a group of soldiers blocked her path and pointed their guns at her. [The host is too careless. How can she make such a mistake?] [The host is a little reckless. She may have thought that she could clear the game smoothly again!] [Sigh, I can feel that this is already the last step to complete the game. It¡¯s just one step away!] Suddenly, Mikuya thought of an idea. She raised her hands and threw away her weapon, trying to let her enemies¡¯ guard down. Mikuya¡¯s following actions shocked everyone. As the guns fell to the ground, Mikuya suddenly bent down and took two pistols from her waist. She aimed at the three enemies in front of her and killed them precisely! Such a dramatic scene stunned the viewers. [What the heck? It can be done like this?] [Tell me that you¡¯re not Mikuya! You¡¯re a gamer found by the host!] [Her technique, her speed, and the ultimate use of the enemy¡¯s mental state. Gosh, I didn¡¯t expect it to work like this!] After killing the three enemies, Mikuya was shot from an armed helicopter. Meanwhile, Nemesis lifted the huge gatling gun and shot the helicopter down from the sky. However, a shard from the helicopter¡¯s explosion flew toward Mikuya extremely fast. Suddenly, a huge and bulky body appeared in front of her. [Matt! It¡¯s him again!] [Oh my god! Matt, what kind of hostility did you have with the producer in your previous life? Why is he doing this to you?] [I¡¯m seriously suspecting the producer created Matt by using his enemies in real life as the template!] [What kind of hostility is this? Producer, you should look at his miserable look!] Although the viewers sympathized with Matt, they couldn¡¯t change his heartbreaking ending. It was a murder mystery game. Matt would die no matter what the players did when the plot reached the point! After all, the direction of the helicopter¡¯s explosion was beyond the players¡¯ control. Finally, Mikuya met up with Carlos and the others. They boarded the helicopter and immediately took off. Meanwhile, numerous zombies had gathered at the building due to the attraction of the battle. The zombies had reached the aircraft depot and were moving toward the helicopter. When the helicopter was about to take off, Mikuya grabbed onto Cain and shot him in the leg. Afterward, she pushed Cain, the sinner, off the plane! Chapter 27 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everyone.

Afterward, she pushed Cain, the sinner, off the plane! Chapter 28 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Mikuya¡¯s actions won the viewers¡¯ praise. [Haha! It¡¯s satisfying! This evil guy deserves the experience of being bitten to death by zombies!] [I become the host¡¯s fan after watching her actions!] [Cool! He should be sent to hell in the most painful way!] [Host, thank you for avenging Matt!] The helicopter had taken off and was flying towards the outskirts of Raccoon City. Meanwhile, the nuclear bomb had been launched to wipe out the city. They could see the bomb flying through the air in the helicopter. In the end, a terrifying explosion occurred in the city¡¯s center. The city was being brutally destroyed. The viewers were amazed by the spectacular scene in front of them. In other games, viewers never experience watching a nuclear explosion at such a close distance. [What a spectacular scene! It is definitely a big deal! It probably costs a lot of money to complete such a CG effect!] [Alright, for the sake of the CG effect, I¡¯ll temporarily give up sending blades to the producer. However, please don¡¯t create a character like Matt again in the future!] [Merits compensate for flaws. I¡¯ll spare the producer¡¯s life this time. Be careful next time!] [What¡¯s the background of Umbrella Corporation? Why can they even use nuclear weapons at will?] The explosion¡¯s shockwave soon affected the helicopter in the air, causing the helicopter system to malfunction. The danger was upon them again. Another unfortunate situation was that one of the explosion¡¯s shards flew straight toward the helicopter and was about to hit Angela! At crunch time, Mikuya stepped forward and protected Angela from the attack. The mission would fail if Angela died! Afterward, Mikuya¡¯s vision blacked out, and she lost control of Alice¡¯s body. When everyone thought the game was about to end, they didn¡¯t see any signs that it had ended. [What¡¯s going on? Did it crash?] [I don¡¯t think so. Why did it blackout? Host, are you still there?] [Is there a bug in the game?] The viewers in the live streaming room were confused. Suddenly, it showed a plot animation. Alice was in a coma when the plot happened. After Carlos and Jill escaped Raccoon City, they revealed the videos they recorded and the sins committed by Umbrella Corporation to the public through the media. It immediately caused an uproar in society and attracted countless criticisms and curses. The public demanded a thorough investigation of Umbrella Corporation. Unfortunately, Umbrella Corporation was in cahoots with the media. Umbrella Corporation spent a large amount of money to bribe the media to distort the truth. They wanted the citizens to believe that a nuclear power plant leak caused everything that happened in Raccoon City. They also made everyone criticize Carlos and Jill. Ultimately, the two brave messengers of justice who exposed the truth became wanted criminals! The media tried to comfort the citizens by telling them everything in the video was fake! They even said that zombies didn¡¯t exist! The scene angered the viewers. It was completely different from the reckoning segment that everyone was expecting. [How can they distort the truth into a story? I¡¯m so angry!] [I¡¯m going insane. I want to make Umbrella Corporation go bankrupt now!] [What a despicable world. A kind person is being hunted down!] [I suspect that the producer deliberately hinted at reality when he created the plot.] [There¡¯s no doubt that our media does the same thing!] At the time, viewers were venting their rage on the game¡¯s plot. Mikuya finally opened her eyes and found that her body had returned to its original state. She was located at Umbrella Corporation¡¯s research outpost. Firstly, Mikuya gained the trust of Umbrella Corporation¡¯s research team. Then she suddenly launched an attack and wanted to escape. However, Mikuya was defeated since she was located at her enemy¡¯s base. Fortunately, Carlos and the others disguised themselves as Umbrella Corporation SWAT teams and arrived to rescue her. Hence, they successfully saved Mikuya. The viewpoint of the game suddenly left Alice¡¯s body and continued upward. In the end, everyone saw a satellite. The satellite¡¯s solar panels were printed with the Umbrella Corporation¡¯s logo, and the indicator light began to flash. Later, Alice¡¯s pupils began to change. Her pupils also turned into the Umbrella Corporation¡¯s logo. Finally, Zombie Apocalypse II ended here. The plot ended with an unbelievable foreshadowing, just like in Zombie Apocalypse I! Obviously, Zombie Apocalypse III will be released in the future! When the game ended, Mikuya took off her immersive equipment and sat in front of the computer. Looking at the time, it had only been 55 minutes since she had started the game, which was even shorter than an hour! After all, it was her second round playing the game, so she was more familiar with the battle and the route. The live stream room immediately became lively. At this time, Mikuya¡¯s strength was beyond doubt. [The game has gone beyond. Its technology and plot have defeated all other games!] [It¡¯s the best game in history! More importantly, the game is free! It¡¯s ridiculous!] [Brothers, let¡¯s subscribe to her. Mikuya¡¯s performance is worthy of our attention!] [I hope Mikuya can continue to work hard. When new games are released in the future, we will still come to support you!] Mikuya gained many fans with her outstanding skills and the title of the first person in the world to clear Zombie Apocalypse II. She changed the minds of countless netizens who had initially intended to mock her. Mikuya continued with her stream, but instead of playing games, she began discussing the game¡¯s content. Meanwhile, she predicted the storyline of Zombie Apocalypse III! After all, Raccoon City was destroyed in Zombie Apocalypse II. Logically speaking, the next game¡¯s map should be the whole world! The players could feel a surge of excitement just by imagining the magnificent scene of the apocalypse. Especially since the game¡¯s name was Zombie Apocalypse! The game¡¯s producer, Su Ping, soon heard about Mikuya¡¯s achievements. He was shocked about it. After all, Su Ping, the producer, was the one who initiated the challenge. Mikuya was the first player to clear the game. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Mikuya¡¯s gaming talent to be much better than I thought. The way she cleared the game was almost the same as the original plot.¡± ¡°After all, I created the game based on the movie¡¯s content. It¡¯s reasonable for her to clear the game in an hour.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we let her be the ambassador for the Zombie Apocalypse?¡± Chapter 29 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation With Angelica¡¯s help, Su Ping managed to get in touch with Mikuya. After a simple conversation, he immediately got Mikuya¡¯s approval. Both of them hit it off and started working together. Mikuya will become the new ambassador for Zombie Apocalypse! As time passed, more players successfully cleared Zombie Apocalypse II. Mikuya¡¯s various game hacks were of great help to everyone. Many players were unconcerned about their speed in completing the game. They cared more about the game¡¯s content and liked to explore Raccoon City freely. However, there was no doubt that more people were inclined to complete the game quickly to obtain satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. Many comments were requesting Zombie Apocalypse III start to appear online due to the large number of players who finished the game and the foreshadowing at the end. Netizens were urging Su Ping to release Zombie Apocalypse III as soon as possible. They even said they would download and play the game as quickly as possible regardless of whether it was a paid or free game! The game¡¯s reputation had reached the peak that other games could only dream of with the high quality of Zombie Apocalypse I and Zombie Apocalypse II. The quality of Zombie Apocalypse was so high that even though Su Ping had released two games in a row quickly, the players needed more. [When will Zombie Apocalypse III be released? I feel like 10000 ants are crawling all over my body because I can¡¯t play the new plot!] [Hurry up! Su Ping! Hurry up and make the game! Tell us if you need money! We will go to the game store to buy items to support you!] [I hope Zombie Apocalypse III will be produced as soon as possible. I¡¯m dying of anxiety! I really want to know what will happen next!] [Su Ping, don¡¯t ignore our request! I¡¯m sending you a warning!] The request for Su Ping to release Zombie Apocalypse III was explicit on the internet. After all, Su Ping was the only producer of the game. Nobody had ever revealed whether there was another production team for the game. Moreover, Su Ping didn¡¯t make any comments online. He didn¡¯t do a live stream and share his plans with the players like his last live stream. As a result, nobody knew what the new plot would be like. The players could only suppress the anticipation in their hearts and vent all their emotions on the internet by discussing the possible plots of Zombie Apocalypse III with other players. Meanwhile, a player¡¯s post attracted the attention of the netizens, and it quickly went viral. ¡°Did you guys realize that in Zombie Apocalypse II, we can¡¯t interfere with the time of the nuclear explosion no matter what we do in the game? Don¡¯t you guys think Raccoon City isn¡¯t the only place to explore in Zombie Apocalypse II? If we completed the preparatory mission faster and left Raccoon City by helicopter before the nuclear explosion. Does that mean we can land safely? We can also hide from Umbrella Corporation, avoiding the rest of the plot, leave Raccoon City, and explore new maps?¡± The post immediately attracted the attention and cheers of countless players! After all, players had no idea when Zombie Apocalypse III would be released since there was no news about it. The only thing the players could do now was to continue exploring the hidden maps of Zombie Apocalypse III. The post opened up a whole new world for the players. As a result, more players began to post all kinds of speed-clearing strategies on the internet. Many well-known game strategy guides started to improve their routes and operations while playing the game to shorten the time needed to clear the game. They tried to make it possible for players to explore areas outside Raccoon City. A few days later, a video posted by a blogger on the internet shocked everyone. In the video, he had only spent less than 40 minutes from starting the game to leaving Raccoon City! He was 15 minutes faster than Mikuya! He bought more time for the helicopter to leave Raccoon City and avoided the impact of the explosion¡¯s shockwave! There were a few more videos after it. The videos were about the blogger finding a car and arriving at a nearby city after leaving Raccoon City. The video showed the key to the viewers¡¯ interest. Players can explore other places other than Raccoon City in Zombie Apocalypse II! Players could also visit the surrounding cities, which were highly detailed inside. It was as if the players had arrived in an actual city. There was no difference at all! [Oh my god, tell me that this is a fake video!] [How is it possible? How can there be many other maps when Raccoon City is already big enough?] [So, how big is the world that we can explore in Zombie Apocalypse II? Did the producer create a parallel universe that looks the same as reality?] [It¡¯s ridiculous. I heard that there¡¯s only one producer for the game. The game doesn¡¯t have a production team. How did he complete such a big project?] The players were extremely shocked. It was the real world, not a game! Actually, Su Ping was unaware of the matter when he produced the game. Su Ping only realized the system¡¯s power once he read the online discussions! ¡°The game turned out to be so powerful? As expected of a transmigrator¡¯s system, its functions are much more powerful than I imagined!¡± Su Ping was filled with emotion. The system¡¯s function was just as miraculous as the netizens had said! The system not only turned the movie¡¯s plot into a game but also shifted the entire world in the movie into the game. With the advanced immersive experience equipment, players would feel like they were in a parallel world. Moreover, they can move freely and play as they please. Although, as a producer, Su Ping should refrain from interfering with how the players play the game, he decided to make some changes and restrictions after some consideration. He worried that players with creative ideas and superb skills would find strange ways to reach other places in the game world. They might even have gone far in the game world and reached other countries. If it happened, he wouldn¡¯t be able to explain the game¡¯s production! In the end, Su Ping gave the system an order. ¡°System, think of a way to create an invisible wall in the game to limit the players¡¯ movement within a 100-kilometer radius of Raccoon City!¡± ¡°Roger that!¡± Su Ping could imagine how the players would react to his update announcement! It would definitely lead to chaos! Chapter 30 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Since the system was efficient, it didn¡¯t take long for the new patch to be installed. Su Ping uploaded it to Steam and reminded the players to download the patch. Su Ping even set up a system check to force the players to upgrade the game to the latest version. Players couldn¡¯t continue playing the game once they were using another version. The announcement would be effective the next day! As soon as the game announcement was made, Su Ping received a lot of invectives and condemnation, as expected. The players never expected Su Ping to add an invisible wall to the game! The players¡¯ range of activity was drastically reduced, which prevented them from engaging in many activities. Previously, some players had discovered the airport near Raccoon City and desired to take a faster plane to travel further in the game. But now, it was impossible to do it. [Producer, are you divorced? Why are you doing such a meaningless thing? Are you nuts!] [This is a fraud! No matter how well the game is made, I¡¯m now anti-Zombie Apocalypse. Producer, hurry up and correct your mistake! Otherwise, I¡¯m going to report you!] [Brothers, let¡¯s give the game one star! We can¡¯t let this go. Otherwise, the producer will simply change the game contents in the future!] Other than the angry players, some game development companies saw an opportunity and hired internet trolls to intensify the situation. Finally, the internet trolls and the angry players caused the troll to go out of control. The Zombie Apocalypse II comment section, which had previously been filled with supportive remarks, was overrun with hostile comments and many people who purposefully gave the game low marks, which caused the game¡¯s ratings to fall. Wise men could tell that the internet trolls caused the situation. However, Su Ping displeased the players by adding an invisible wall. Naturally, nobody would speak up for Su Ping. They even hoped the internet trolls would charge forward to force Su Ping to cancel the invisible wall. ¡°Su Ping, have you seen the situation online? The game¡¯s rating has already dropped by three points. If the ratings continue to drop, it will have a huge impact on the game¡¯s reputation!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t go on like this. Do you need me to help you say something during the live stream?¡± ¡°My fans are rational. I¡¯ve been trying to calm down the emotional fans. I believe everyone will understand you.¡± When public opinion was getting worse, Angelica took the initiative to talk to Su Ping about the matter and was willing to speak up for him. Su Ping felt warm and knew Angelica was a person who was willing to express her gratitude. Although they were only partners in promoting his game initially, Angelica had gained significant traffic and fans through Zombie Apocalypse. After thinking for a while, Su Ping shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s alright. You don¡¯t have to do that. I caused the situation to happen. After all, I¡¯m the game¡¯s producer. I¡¯ll think of a way to settle this.¡± ¡°And I have thought of a pretty good idea!¡± Upon hearing Su Ping¡¯s words, Angelica asked curiously. ¡°What is it? Can you give me some hints? So that I can be at ease!¡± Su Ping smiled. ¡°Haha! Do you remember the players asking me to release Zombie Apocalypse III quickly?¡± As soon as he said that, Angelica became excited. She immediately asked. ¡°What?! Have you finished producing Zombie Apocalypse III? The speed of production is way too fast! Zombie Apocalypse II has just been released!¡± Su Ping said while shaking his head. ¡°Who says I¡¯m going to release Zombie Apocalypse III? I never promised the next game would be a Zombie Apocalypse series!¡± Meanwhile, Angelica was holding her breath, and her heart was beating faster. Angelica thought, ¡°A new game?¡± ¡°Is Su Ping able to create a new IP when producing the Zombie Apocalypse series?¡± ¡°Is he making these games all by himself?¡± ¡°It¡¯s terrifying!¡± Angelica couldn¡¯t imagine how powerful Su Ping¡¯s strength was to complete such a massive workload. Even leading game development companies couldn¡¯t make it! ¡°Alright, since you¡¯ve said so, I¡¯m relieved. I believe that you¡¯ll handle the situation perfectly.¡± ¡°Same old rules. If you release a new game, you must let me play it as soon as possible!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a deal!¡± Su Ping hung up the phone. Su Ping immediately opened the forum and logged into his account. He began to write a new post. At the moment, Su Ping¡¯s forum account was bombarded with countless private messages. Most of the comments were aggressive against Su Ping. There were only a few fans who were calm. Su Ping wasn¡¯t in the mood to look at the aggressive comments. After all, looking at the comments wouldn¡¯t help solve the situation. Su Ping posted a new announcement to stop the players from cursing him. ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m Su Ping, the game producer for the Zombie Apocalypse series. Recently, I¡¯ve received a lot of feedback from the players. I¡¯ve realized that I¡¯ve had many problems with my work. I clearly understand that everyone is looking forward to the new game. That¡¯s why I¡¯m bringing you the latest information on the latest games. I hope everyone will be satisfied and have high hopes for the future!¡± The post gradually made its way into the critical content. ¡°I¡¯m here to tell you that Zombie Apocalypse III is in smooth production. It should be able to be released soon. Besides that, there¡¯s a new game in the middle of production, and it¡¯s almost finished. The production of the new game started a little later than Zombie Apocalypse II, so it is expected to be released before Zombie Apocalypse III! Most importantly, the new game is also free. You don¡¯t have to spend a single bit to get a complete gaming experience. Only the skins and items in the game store need to be paid for, but it doesn¡¯t affect the gaming experience! Here is the latest update. I hope everyone can understand me. After all, I¡¯m just an independent game producer. Lastly, I hope everyone will like my new game and continue to support my creation! Your support will be my greatest motivation for creating games! Thank you for your understanding! See you in the next game!¡± After Su Ping finished editing, he carefully read and checked the post¡¯s content from the beginning to the end. Then he nodded in satisfaction. Afterward, he clicked send! Su Ping could imagine the players¡¯ heated discussions when they saw the post! Under the temptation of the new game, what was the matter with the previous problem? Chapter 31 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Just as Su Ping had expected, things were going as planned. The plot twist happened faster than Su Ping had expected! Although the post was only up for less than a minute, there were hundreds of thousands of views. Apparently, countless netizens and players were constantly scrolling their social media. Once Su Ping released the latest announcement, they would be immediately notified. Ten minutes later, the post had been forwarded more than 10,000 times. Moreover, the post¡¯s content had been posted on other major forums on the internet. Netizens were shocked by the sudden news. [Is there a new game? According to the post, it doesn¡¯t seem to be a Zombie Apocalypse series game. Does anyone have inside information?] [How could there be any inside information? Su Ping is the only producer for the game. Nobody knows what type of game it is.] [Perhaps Angelica and Mikuya know something about it? After all, they are close to Su Ping.] [Eh? What about the invisible wall? Why didn¡¯t the post respond to the invisible wall?] [The invisible wall? The new game is about to be released, so who cares about the invisible wall in Zombie Apocalypse II? Isn¡¯t it nice to play a new game?] [Since the crazy game producer corrects his mistake on time and will release another free game, we¡¯ll let you off for setting an invisible wall!] [Forget it. Since the crazy game producer is sincere, I¡¯ll pretend that the invisible wall incident never happened. However, you have to release the new game as soon as possible. You can¡¯t just give us empty promises!] As expected, the players¡¯ discussion no longer focused on accusing Su Ping of setting up the invisible wall. Most of the players were focusing on the new game. The main reason why the invisible wall caused such a fuss was that players had played all the games Su Ping had created. The players¡¯ only joy was discovering new places in Zombie Apocalypse II. However, Su Ping¡¯s invisible wall restricted their game actions and angered them. Since the new game was about to be released, no one bothered about the invisible wall. The public¡¯s and critics¡¯ perceptions of Zombie Apocalypse II had shifted. The ratings started to increase, and some players who had previously given low ratings changed their ratings. Finally, it restored the reputation of Zombie Apocalypse II. Seeing that the public opinion crisis of Zombie Apocalypse II was finally over, Su Ping, who had been paying attention to the public¡¯s opinion behind the scenes, finally let out a breath of relief. Su Ping thought, ¡°It seems that the players are rational. When it¡¯s time to give an enthusiastic response, they will respond enthusiastically. When it¡¯s time to calm down, they will be able to calm down too.¡± ¡°System, extract the content of the movie, A Quiet Place, as the source material for the new game. The new game will also be named A Quiet Place!¡± Su Ping gave the system order. Su Ping had decided to choose A Quiet Place as his new game. The Zombie Apocalypse series was indeed excellent. However, if he kept releasing the same series of games, it would inevitably make people tired of them. Besides, he had to do everything in a long-term manner. As a result, he decided to avoid releasing all the Zombie Apocalypse series games simultaneously. It was better to take advantage of the current popularity to create more new IPs to eventually form a chain with other IPs and grow into a gaming empire. It was better than eating a bowl of rice to the point of bursting. ¡°Roger that. The file for A Quiet Place has been saved on the computer¡¯s D drive. Host, you can retrieve it at any time.¡± Soon, the system sounded in Su Ping¡¯s mind. It was as efficient as ever. Meanwhile, the system remembered what Su Ping had told it to do. It didn¡¯t store the game file on the C drive. ¡°Hmm, not bad. You¡¯re doing a good job this time!¡± Su Ping complimented the system. Then, he immediately turned on the computer and found the file named ¡°A Quiet Place.¡± Su Ping returned to his high-intensity work mode. He began to convert the source files given by the system into game installation packages that could be uploaded to Steam as fast as possible! The whole process didn¡¯t require too much skill. It could be completed with sufficient time and energy. A week later, Su Ping walked into the bathroom for the first time with an unkempt beard and a greasy face to clean himself up. He worked for a week, and his meals relied on food deliveries. Besides going to the toilet and eating, he had spent all his time producing the game. He didn¡¯t even wash his hair. ¡°Phew! It feels so comfortable!¡± Su Ping felt refreshed after taking a shower. He went to the computer desk and looked at the progress bar on the screen with a sense of achievement. The progress bar had reached 85%. The game installation package for A Quiet Place will be uploaded to Steam within a few minutes. According to Su Ping¡¯s settings, the game would be available for download two days later. Su Ping had informed Angelica and Mikuya, allowing them to spread the news on their live stream rooms and forum accounts! Soon, numerous players found a new game called A Quiet Place was about to be released. The news shocked the netizens. It had only been a week since Su Ping posted his announcement. He finish the new game in such a short time? Su Ping really kept his promise! The world was in an uproar. Who could resist such a high-yield game producer with such excellent games? Su Ping had proven his capability after releasing the Zombie Apocalypse series. Although Su Ping had rejected the offers from major gaming companies worldwide, it didn¡¯t mean they would let him go. They had been secretly watching Su Ping¡¯s activities. Once Su Ping released a new game, they would ask their employees to try it out. They also tried to replicate the game¡¯s design and techniques. It was a shortcut to improving their game production, which was recognized by the entire gaming industry! Either Storm Gaming Company or Steam were asking many of their employees to experience the game. After gaining sufficient experience, the companies hoped to use their financial advantage to replicate Su Ping¡¯s success in the future! At Storm Gaming Company. ¡°Hurry up and gather our employees! I need our employees to try out A Quiet Place as soon as it is released!¡± ¡°No one is allowed to take leave!¡± At Steam headquarters. ¡°The day after tomorrow, the company will have a two-day holiday. Except for the network support specialists, everyone must download A Quiet Place and experience it.¡± ¡°After returning to work, everyone must submit a 3000-word experience report!¡± The two major game development companies had gone crazy! Chapter 32 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation A day later, A Quiet Place had yet to start its open beta officially. However, it was available for the first 10,000 players who cleared Zombie Apocalypse II to download! Su Ping would find them through their user codes and send them the installation packages. Although the promotion of the games had just started less than a day ago, the popularity of A Quiet Place was extremely high! All around the world, almost everyone who was related to the game industry had their eyes on this game. In the live-streaming industry, every streamer, regardless of whether they played games or not, was ready to compete in the popularity and traffic of A Quiet Place! Since the game was so popular, every streamer would benefit from simply playing it during their live stream! Naturally, no one could resist such a temptation. As the 10,000 people who could experience the game in advance, any one of them could temporarily enjoy the life of a popular streamer as long as they turned on the live stream. Meanwhile, the major game development companies had found employees who could experience the game in advance and let other employees watch them play it. After all, there were many professionals in a game development company, and they could even contact many gaming vloggers with high technical skills. Therefore, it was easy for them to find a group of players who could experience the game in advance. Some game development companies started to have crooked ideas since they had many slots to experience the game. They were still unwilling to accept that Su Ping¡¯s skills had surpassed their entire game development company. At Steam. ¡°Start cracking A Quiet Place¡¯s installation package immediately! Analyze the game¡¯s physics engine and codes!¡± The platform¡¯s technical director gave an order. He had gathered almost all of the company¡¯s top game producers in advance. Following the failure to crack the codes of Zombie Apocalypse, Steam hired many top programmers to prepare for today! However, the technical director received depressing and desperate news within two hours. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, director. We¡¯re incompetent!¡± ¡°The physics engine of A Quiet Place is even more perfect than the previous Zombie Apocalypse!¡± ¡°Even though we¡¯ve focused all our attention on cracking it, we still can¡¯t figure out the logic behind the physics engine!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, we might not be able to replicate the technology!¡± After hearing the news, the technical director went furious. ¡°What did you just say? You¡¯re telling me we can¡¯t crack this damn game¡¯s physics engine with our company¡¯s technology?¡± ¡°What the heck are you guys doing? You¡¯re getting paid by the company, yet you¡¯re giving the company an explanation with such results?¡± The head of the technical department lowered his head, not daring to say a word. He didn¡¯t want it to happen. However, the reality was cruel. Just now, the top programmers had almost gone bald in the technical department, but they still couldn¡¯t figure out what kind of physics engine was used in the game! In the end, the game development company¡¯s technical staff gave up on cracking the game file. They had accepted their failure and could feel the chasm between them and Su Ping. They were in great despair! On the other side, the players who had started to experience A Quiet Place had officially entered the game. After all, these players had achieved good results in Zombie Apocalypse II. They thought they were good at playing games. Therefore, they were confident when they first entered the game, thinking that they could clear it at the fastest speed again. However, they soon encountered all kinds of tricky problems. The first problem was to maintain absolute silence in the game! Even if it was just a light sound, like a soft cough, the squeak of glass underfoot, or the sound of a can rolling across the ground. The monsters would hear these sounds, leading the monster¡¯s pursuit, causing them to fail the game. The style of A Quiet Place was different from the Zombie Apocalypse series. At first glance, people wouldn¡¯t think A Quiet Place was a horror game. However, due to the game¡¯s special rules, the game was even more terrifying than Zombie Apocalypse! Due to the setting of absolute silence, the players didn¡¯t dare make any noise after the game started. They had to maintain their tension the entire game to ensure that everything they did was quiet and gentle! Soon, the players were aware of the game¡¯s difficulty. Hence, they changed their attitude and played the game seriously. However, since there were 10,000 slots for A Quiet Place¡¯s advanced experience, there were all kinds of people among them. Therefore, to clear the game as soon as possible and become the first person to have A Quiet Place¡¯s traffic¡­ Some people began to come up with crooked ideas! Some people found experts around them who were proficient in games and planned to send the game files to the experts so that they could clear the game on their behalf! However, just as they were about to do so, they found an email in their mailbox. When they opened the email, they saw that the content of the email was a warning from the producer! ¡°Please play the game yourself. The new game is only for personal experience and cannot be passed on to others! The user¡¯s IP address will be permanently blocked if it happens again. The user will be prohibited from playing all of my games forever!¡± The warning was severe. It prohibited players from spreading the game¡¯s installation package in private. Some players even wanted to send the game files to more people. However, they found the game installation packages on their computers had been forcibly deleted! Naturally, these players couldn¡¯t stand such a thing happening. Initially, they could experience the game in advance, but it was confirmed that the producer had deleted the game installation package. Some of them chose to complain about the situation online. ¡°Exposing the game producer¡¯s unpleasant attitude, the dictator of the gaming community!¡± ¡°Here is the situation¡­¡± These players revealed everything they had gone through to the public in the post. However, they brushed off their act of spreading the game installation package without permission. The main content of the post was to criticize Su Ping. They claimed that Su Ping might have used some hacking technique to forcefully delete the installation package on their computer. ¡°I suspect the game producer has seriously threatened our internet security and privacy! The producer could steal the information stored on our computers. He might use it for inappropriate purposes! I hope everyone can take this as a warning and see the producer¡¯s true colors!¡± Chapter 33 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The post¡¯s author thought most players would comfort and sympathize with him. He expected the players would denounce Su Ping with him and force Su Ping to apologize. However, as soon as the post was posted, the author realized something was wrong. The situation in the comments was totally different from what he had expected! Nobody spoke up for him in the comments. Instead, everyone was mocking him. [Huh, do you want a good reputation after doing something terrible? The producer has already clarified that players cannot transfer their spots to anyone else. You¡¯re blaming the producer when you¡¯re the one who first spread the installation package? Aren¡¯t you shameless?] [Ugh! Why do people like you can get the priority to experience the game?] [What a waste! If you don¡¯t want the slot, you can give it to me!] [What shameless crap! The producer¡¯s punishment is still too light. He should have banned you and your internet IP from playing the game!] The post¡¯s author was completely dumbfounded when he saw such comments. At first, he wanted to reply to the netizens in the comments section and try to change their opinions of him. However, he met even more intense abuse and criticism. In the end, the post¡¯s author couldn¡¯t bear the criticisms on the internet. He chose to delete the post! However, it was just a little hiccup before the official open beta of A Quiet Place. It didn¡¯t cause a fuss among the players. A day passed quickly, and under the anticipation of tens of thousands of people, A Quiet Place was finally officially released! As the ambassador of Zombie Apocalypse, Mikuya naturally experienced the game as soon as possible. Angelica, the first streamer to work with Su Ping, also started her live stream with the title of Su Ping¡¯s ambassador. Both of their live streams attracted a large number of players to watch their live streams. Many players might have the conditions to play the game after the game was released, so they could only choose to seek spiritual fulfillment in the live stream room of the streamer. Since there were a lot of netizens in the live stream room, the exciting comments could entertain people, which was an extraordinary experience other than playing games. At that moment, Mikuya quickly entered A Quiet Place since she was familiar with it. A Quiet Place still maintained the consistent style of the Zombie Apocalypse series. Before the game started, it would show a realistic plot animation to explain the background story to the players. Moreover, the movie-like method could help the players have a deeper understanding of the game and be immersed in it. Since it was an immersive experience game, it naturally had to be realistic enough. Otherwise, how could it be considered an immersive game? The story takes place after a disaster sweeps the world. A blind monster with a compelling hearing sense had invaded Earth. The monsters¡¯ hearing system could amplify even the slightest sound. It could locate the source of the sound, which would lead the monsters to pursue their prey. Furthermore, these monsters¡¯ external flaws were virtually nonexistent. They were covered entirely in incredibly durable armor. Even firearms couldn¡¯t penetrate their armor. It caused humans to become almost extinct. Only a few survivors lived on their last legs a year after the disaster outbreak. The survivors could only communicate in their daily lives through sign language because they were afraid to make noise. Even when searching for resources, they had to be careful to avoid bringing trouble upon themselves. [Players can¡¯t make any sound at all? That¡¯s why the game is called A Quiet Place!] [The setting is quite interesting. It¡¯s a little scary if our world becomes like this.] [That¡¯s right, I¡¯d rather die if I couldn¡¯t talk to anyone or make a sound for the rest of my life!] [You guys are just focusing on whether you can make noise. Can this monster appear in public places like the library or the subway?] [Haha! That¡¯s true. If such a monster appeared in the library, I¡¯d be willing to call it the tutelary!] The game¡¯s settings immediately attracted the interest of the live stream¡¯s viewers, and they began to discuss them enthusiastically in the comments. When the game started, Mikuya realized she was controlling a pregnant woman¡¯s body. ¡°According to the game¡¯s introduction, it should be a family of four, consisting of a father, a mother, a son, and a daughter. The youngest son seemed to have died in an accident.¡± Mikuya checked on her current situation and some basic information about the game first. Now that she had become a gamemaster, she had her own way of doing things. It didn¡¯t take long for her to realize that the game A Quiet Place had a high degree of freedom. There were only a few tasks for her to complete. The only thing she had to do was survive in this world by not making any sound! As for methods for clearing the stage, Mikuya hadn¡¯t received any hints. [The game is so strange. There are no missions in the game nor hints about how to clear them. How are we going to play it?] [Could it be that it¡¯s a competition to see who can survive longer? Then why don¡¯t I just store a bunch of supplies and hide somewhere?] [Maybe the producer has some weird fetishes. Let¡¯s just wait and see. Maybe Mikuya will find a way to clear the game soon!] The game continued. Mikuya could only stay home to check on the supplies and become accustomed to her surroundings because there was no specific objective. She could handle any threat she came across in the future only by thoroughly memorizing the terrain here. As everyone had expected, the first challenge arrived. The younger daughter accidentally knocked over a medicine on the shelf while searching for supplies. The medicine bottle fell to the ground, and the medicines inside sounded. Mikuya trembled the moment she heard the sound. Since she entered the game, she hadn¡¯t made a sound, and her nerves had been frazzled. It was natural for her to be shocked when she suddenly heard noises. Although everyone was shocked, they reacted quickly. Mikuya gestured for them to keep quiet. She then pointed at the pharmacy door, and the group sneaked in. However, the monster¡¯s speed was too fast. A black shadow flashed outside the door, and the monster was already blocking the pharmacy door. It was ready to break in at any time. It was the first time Mikuya had seen the monster. The monster¡¯s ugly and ferocious appearance shocked the live-stream viewers as well. Would Mikuya be about to be killed by a monster and fail the game when she had just started it? Chapter 34 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation [What should we do? The host doesn¡¯t seem to have any weapons on her, right?] [It¡¯s useless to bring weapons, though. These monsters have armor on their bodies. Even if you use a shotgun to hit the monsters¡¯ armor, the monsters probably won¡¯t be affected at all.] [Haha! I didn¡¯t expect Mikuya, who killed so many zombies in Zombie Apocalypse, to have such a day. Open the champagne!] [Host, why don¡¯t you just admit you¡¯ve failed? The game is too difficult. No one will laugh at you!] Facing the audience¡¯s ridicule, Mikuya wouldn¡¯t give up, of course. That would be too embarrassing. Furthermore, she did not believe she would fail the game. She had put a small alarm clock in her backpack before she set off. She could set the timer to make a sound! Since the monsters could be attracted by sound, she could naturally use the alarm clock to lure them away. Mikuya gestured to the three people beside her, telling them to move to the other side of the pharmacy, stay away from the entrance, and not attract the monster¡¯s attention. Mikuya then took out an alarm clock from her bag and set it to ring after a minute. She turned it to the maximum volume! Mikuya then placed the alarm in the deepest part of the pharmacy. ¡°Whoosh!¡± When Mikuya placed the alarm, the monster broke through the door and rushed in. The monster had not yet found them and attacked them because everyone was completely silent. The monster kept waving its sharp claws, wreaking havoc in the pharmacy and making louder and louder sounds. Mikuya used her agile body to dodge the monster¡¯s attacks. At the same time, she tried her best to stay quiet. Finally, she managed to meet up with her family. More than 40 seconds had passed, and the alarm was about to go off! The possibility of them safely escaping the pharmacy and surviving depended on whether the alarm clock worked! Finally, the alarm sounded ear-piercingly. The loud sound made everyone unfamiliar with the noises covering their ears. When the monster heard the sound, its huge hearing organ began to shake violently, just like the eardrums of speakers. Then, the monster smashed everything in its way and rushed to the alarm clock as if it had gone mad. At the same time, the monster opened up a path to leave the pharmacy! Mikuya immediately whispered to her family, ¡°Run for your lives! We have to leave this place!¡± The others were well-prepared and took the opportunity to run out of the pharmacy. The monster had smashed the door of the pharmacy, leaving a lot of glass shards on the ground. There would be some noise when they stepped on it. However, the alarm clock in the pharmacy was making a louder sound, and the monster itself was making a lot of noise. Hence, the sound made by the glass seemed insignificant. Finally, everyone successfully left the pharmacy. Just as they arrived at a house across the street, the alarm from the pharmacy stopped! The monster had found the alarm clock and destroyed it! After they escaped, Mikuya collapsed to the ground. The character she was controlling in the game was a pregnant woman. Also, she had been pregnant for a long time and was about to give birth anytime! She was even worried that she wouldn¡¯t be able to return home safely after suddenly running for such a long distance. After everything was safe, Mikuya could finally pay attention to the comments in the live stream. Meanwhile, she teased. ¡°Everyone, I¡¯m a girl who hasn¡¯t been in a relationship in a long time. I didn¡¯t expect to experience what it feels like to run like a pregnant woman today.¡± ¡°To be honest, putting aside the game¡¯s content, just the feeling of experiencing a pregnant woman is fantastic!¡± ¡°I suggest everyone try it, especially the men watching the live stream. It will definitely open the door to a whole new world for you!¡± ¡°Girls can try it too. The feeling of giving birth to new life is fantastic and sacred!¡± Mikuya said it from the bottom of her heart. She was not at the right age to discuss marriage since she was only in her 20s and still young. However, she became a mother and a pregnant woman in the game. She had to protect not just her family and her young child but also the unborn child she was pregnant with! At this moment, Mikuya suddenly felt that Su Ping might have designed the game for another purpose! Otherwise, why would he turn players into pregnant mothers in the game? The viewers also started discussing after listening to Mikuya¡¯s words. [Haha! The situation is expected since it¡¯s a game created by Su Ping. My heart was in my throat just now. I was so worried that the host would suddenly give birth to a baby!] [Sigh, why do you still want to have children in an apocalyptic environment? Isn¡¯t it just troubling yourself?] [We shall never question the desire and obsession of a species to continue their offspring! Are we hoping to make humans extinct if we don¡¯t have children?] [Although getting pregnant in the apocalypse sounds troublesome, I have to say that if the apocalypse really does happen, this situation is very likely to happen!] [What our Su Ping wants is to simulate reality!] The game continued. After getting some rest, everyone finally returned home safely. Afterward, Mikuya sped up the time flow in the game. Soon, half a month had passed. During that time, many accidents happened, but they were all minor problems. Mikuya had always been able to rely on her and her family¡¯s intelligence to escape danger. Apparently, they already had a set of methods to deal with the apocalypse. After experiencing the accidents, Mikuya clearly felt she was about to give birth! Even though she was just playing a game, the feeling was extremely real. Sometimes, Mikuya would caress her stomach during her spare time as if she was really pregnant with her child. According to the in-game time, Mikuya had already spent more than a month in the game world. However, in reality, only two hours had passed. All the viewers in the live stream room were totally immersed in a world where no sound could be made. The live stream room was extremely quiet during the live stream. Even when the viewers were watching the live stream, they would unconsciously control themselves not to make any sound! Everyone held their breath and focused. They had forgotten to speak and breathe as if they were in the game¡¯s apocalyptic environment. [Just a reminder, you can breathe now.] [I¡¯d like to remind everyone that we can make a sound, it¡¯s just the host can¡¯t!] If it weren¡¯t for the reminders floating across the screen from time to time, many viewers might not have realized that they were completely immersed in it. Whenever someone realized they were too immersed in the character, they would cough twice and smile awkwardly. The game was too real! Chapter 35 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation One afternoon, the husband took the son out to practice survival skills. The daughter wandered alone because she was in her rebellious period. Only the mistress of the house, controlled by Mikuya, is left at home. She had been feeling unwell recently, so she chose to stay in the house. By nightfall, the husband and son should have returned home on time. Yet, she didn¡¯t see them, and a sense of foreboding rose in her heart. Suddenly, Mikuya clutched her stomach and frowned in pain. ¡°Darn it! I think I¡¯m about to give birth. The experience of giving birth in this game is too real. I can¡¯t take it anymore!¡± Mikuya had never given birth in her life. She had only heard that giving birth was extremely painful. Now that she had finally experienced it for herself. She couldn¡¯t help but walk slowly to the basement. There was a small bed that had been prepared long ago. She could place the baby in it after birth. The baby¡¯s cries could be muffled to keep monsters away by inserting the oxygen tube and covering the baby with a cover. However, just as she was about to enter the basement, her right foot stomped down. A soul-piercing pain shot up to the top of Mikuya¡¯s head. She trembled in pain, and the feeling of her soul leaving her body made her want to scream. However, she still covered her mouth with her trembling hands. Fortunately, the game¡¯s pain reduction mechanism enabled her to endure the pain. Of course, someone with weaker mental endurance might have already been forcefully kicked out of the game. [Jesus! It isn¡¯t playing a game. It¡¯s simply torturing yourself!] [I knew it. Su Ping has always had some weird fetishes, but I didn¡¯t expect him to like something like this. Could he be a masochist?] [Oh god! The producer is such a devil. The nerves in the human foot are very sensitive. The nail pierced through directly. Hiss, just thinking about it is terrifying!] [The producer should stop thinking of ways to torture the players in the future. I congratulate myself on watching the live stream in advance. I¡¯ve decided not to experience the game. It¡¯s too scary!] Looking at the painful expression on Mikuya¡¯s face, the live stream viewers started an even more heated discussion. Some people thought it was just a game and didn¡¯t need to be realistic. However, some people might awaken their masochists and praise the setting. Meanwhile, Mikuya wasn¡¯t in the mood to see what people were saying in the comments. She was facing an even greater crisis. Although she covered her mouth in time, she still made some sounds the moment the nail pierced her foot. The worst thing was that there were a lot of messy items in the basement. Moreover, she was suffering from double the pain. When Mikuya walked down the stairs, she accidentally knocked over a photo frame on the wall. The sound she made was loud enough to attract the monsters! ¡°No, I can¡¯t just give up! I¡¯ve persevered until now. How can I lose in such a way?¡± ¡°I¡¯m the first player to clear Zombie Apocalypse II!¡± Mikuya was extremely unwilling to lose in such a way. The situation had stimulated her pride. Mikuya immediately entered the basement and pulled a switch from the wall. It was a switch. After it was turned on, the lights on the farm would turn red. It could remind her family members who were outside that she was in danger and quickly carry out emergency measures! Mikuya then walked into the bathroom and lay down in the bathtub. She covered her mouth and endured the pain. Suddenly, a violent noise came from outside. The monster had arrived! Meanwhile, the viewers in the live stream were no longer in the mood to continue their discussion. Everyone was encouraging her to hold it in in the comments! Fortunately, the red light on the farm was practical. The emergency plan initiated by her husband and son took effect in time. Just as the monster entered the bathroom and was about to find Mikuya, numerous fireworks appeared in the sky and lured the monster away. It gave Mikuya some time to catch her breath. Mikuya quickly brought her child to the small wooden box in the basement. After helping her child put on the oxygen mask, she closed the cover and fell asleep. The game had come to an end for the time being. Clearly, it was a break that the game producer gave to the players. Especially after the continuous high-intensity exercise and pain, it was tough for an ordinary person to bear. [The host succeeded! I thought she would scream at any moment and fail the game!] [From now on, I won¡¯t look down on Mikuya. Not only is she good at gaming, but she¡¯s also very strong-willed! If it were me, I wouldn¡¯t be able to hold it in but would close the game. It¡¯s simply torturing!] [Ah, I know it. The producer is torturing the players on purpose. He must have felt we were wrong to ask him to remove the invisible wall. He¡¯s angry, so he made this game!] The players¡¯ discussion started to become full of hatred. After taking a deep breath, Mikuya immediately tried to calm the viewers. ¡°Stop guessing. Su Ping only considers the quality of the game. He won¡¯t put as much personal emotion into the game¡¯s content.¡± ¡°In short, according to my previous experience, if you fear pain, you should not enter this game!¡± ¡°Besides letting people experience the despair and horror of the apocalypse, this game can also train one¡¯s will!¡± ¡°In conclusion, this is a good game. As for how good it is, it¡¯s a matter of opinion!¡± After a short break, the game continued. When Mikuya woke up, she realized that the basement had been flooded. The water was waist-deep, and the wooden box the child was sleeping in was floating on the water. The scariest thing was that the sound of water had attracted the monster! At that moment, a monster found the entrance to the basement. Mikuya suppressed the fear in her heart and walked into the water simultaneously with the monster. She carefully held the child in the wooden box in her arms and stared at the monster not far away. Then, she slowly retreated. Finally, before the monster noticed her, she hid behind the water curtain formed by the water flow. The sound of the sleeping child in her arms was drowned out by the sound of water dripping on the water¡¯s surface. At that moment, Mikuya was almost face-to-face with the monster. Her face practically stuck to the monster¡¯s face since there was only a thin layer of water between them! It was a suffocating feeling. Fortunately, the monster seemed to have heard something and suddenly turned around to leave, which allowed Mikuya to escape. Chapter 36 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Afterward, Mikuya came to the underground surveillance room. To prevent the monster¡¯s invasion, the family had already set up numerous surveillance cameras around the farm. After watching the surveillance footage, Mikuya finally understood why the monster in the basement had left when it was about to find her. It turned out that the children who hadn¡¯t returned home fell into the barn, and their sound drew the monster away. Soon, Mikuya saw the man heading to the barn to save his child. The man took the initiative to make a sound to draw the monster away so that the children could run out of the barn. However, the children were unwilling to sacrifice their father, so they took the initiative to provoke the monster. They got into the car together, and the monster jumped on the car¡¯s roof and attacked wildly. Mikuya saw the scene as if she was watching a live stream. She was shocked by the scene in front of her. She could roughly predict how the three characters¡¯ stories would end. As expected, a father would never let his children die for him. He picked up an axe from the car next to him and took the initiative to attack the monster. Then, he slowly pushed the car with the children down the hill. The car would eventually stop in front of the house. It was the transportation they had prepared long ago. They didn¡¯t have to ignite the engine along the way, so they naturally wouldn¡¯t make too much noise to attract the monsters. On the other hand, the man naturally had no chance of winning the battle against the monster. Meanwhile, the man screamed desperately to ensure his children could survive safely. It was as if he wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction and anger he had suppressed in his heart for more than a year. Mikuya watched the man be killed helplessly. A stream of tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes. She cried again in the game. Many viewers in the live stream room were also crying. It was undoubtedly touching to see family members willing to risk their lives for one another. [Boohoo! What a tragic scene. The man is good!] [He is a qualified father! Although he is just an NPC in a game, there must be similar people in reality! They deserve our respect!] [It is expected in Su Ping¡¯s game. He keeps teaching us how to play games and life¡¯s principles. It¡¯s a good game that is worth promoting!] [Su Ping creates free, high-quality games rich in story and life philosophy. Huh, Storm Gaming Company and Steam should learn how to make good games from him!] [I¡¯m regretting. I¡¯m going back on my word now. I¡¯ll download the game now. I¡¯ll endure it no matter how painful it is!] [I must kill all these monsters and take revenge for all the people who have sacrificed!] After a while, the children returned home. However, the battle had already attracted many monsters near the farm. Suddenly, a monster barged into the basement. Just as the monster opened its bloody mouth and was about to kill the mother and daughter¡­ Suddenly, the monster stopped moving and seemed to suffer great pain. Its head kept splitting, revealing the parts not protected by the armor. The scene stunned Mikuya, and she suddenly realized something. Suddenly, she recalled little bits and pieces of her past adventures. The daughter seemed always to be able to turn danger into safety at the most dangerous moment. But why? What was the reason for all this? Suddenly, Mikuya¡¯s gaze fell on the daughter¡¯s hearing aid! The man made it for the daughter. Although the quality was poor, the daughter still wore it. Mikuya gestured for the daughter to take off the hearing aid. Then, she stared at the monster not far away and turned the power of the hearing aid to the maximum! As expected, the monster suffered more intense pain after the power was increased, and its head armor could not close up again! With the opportunity, Mikuya picked up the shotgun beside her, aimed it at the monster¡¯s brain, and pulled the trigger! Blood splattered everywhere, and the monster¡¯s body fell to the ground. Although the monsters were protected by hard armor, the body under the armor was soft, not to mention it had been shot in the head by a shotgun. The gunshots attracted more monsters, but Mikuya knew the monsters¡¯ weaknesses. She was no longer afraid of the monsters. ¡°Turn on the broadcast system on the farm. We¡¯re going to make these beasts pay with blood!¡± Mikuya ordered the daughter to reload her weapon and leave the basement to face the battle. The final battle lasted for almost half an hour. Mikuya had almost used up all the ammunition she had stored on the farm before she killed all the monsters rushing over! Meanwhile, she was covered in blood. The viewers expressed their satisfaction in the comments. No one had expected the game, which was slow from the beginning to the end and deliberately created an extremely quiet environment. Nobody expected it to end with such a thrilling battle. The battle scene was far beyond the combat segment of Zombie Apocalypse! Sure enough, the producer didn¡¯t show favoritism and didn¡¯t forget that A Quiet Place was a game. The producer needed to make the players feel good about the game and provide them with educational value! ¡°Congratulations, you¡¯ve cleared the stage!¡± Looking at the words that appeared in front of her, Mikuya finally let out a sigh of relief. It had been almost four hours since she started the game! Compared to Zombie Apocalypse II, which could be completed in an hour, the time required to complete A Quiet Place was equal to the total time needed to complete Zombie Apocalypse I and Zombie Apocalypse II! Moreover, the last half hour was spent in an intense battle, which made people feel exhausted! However, Mikuya was extremely excited and exhausted at the same time. She had taken off all her equipment, but it still seemed like she was in the game and always prepared to fight. While she looked at the comments in the live stream room, the viewers expressed the same feeling. The comments were praising her. A Quiet Place had undoubtedly won over nearly all viewers. Everyone was reminiscing about everything they had seen in the past few hours in the live stream room. They were also spreading the information to more people! Because of this, Su ping never invested much in advertising his games, despite the fact that they were always well-known. ¡°Thank you, everyone, for watching today¡¯s live stream. I believe that everyone has a comprehensive understanding of the game.¡± ¡°The game is undoubtedly successful and excellent, and the final battle is intense and exciting.¡± ¡°If you think the game is good, please recommend it to more friends.¡± ¡°That¡¯s all for today¡¯s live stream. I¡¯m too tired. See you tomorrow afternoon!¡± Chapter 37 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Although Mikuya had ended her live stream, A Quiet Place¡¯s live stream revelry had not ended. In fact, it was getting more and more intense. It wasn¡¯t just about popular streamers with millions of fans. Even many passersby chose to start their live streams. Even if only a few people watched their live stream, they were willing to share their gaming experiences with more people. Meanwhile, PDD was also live-streaming A Quiet Place. However, his performance was inferior to Mikuya¡¯s. The monsters were torturing him in the game. ¡°Please don¡¯t kill me! I didn¡¯t mean to make a sound! Please spare me!¡± PDD controlled the body of the mistress and ran for his life. However, the character was already pregnant. Shortly after he started to run, the monster caught up with him, and the game was over. It was the fourth time he had been killed by a monster! Moreover, he had been playing the game for three to four hours. He started live streaming at almost the same time as Mikuya. However, not to mention clearing the game, he had yet to even start the last stage! [Haha! PDD, why don¡¯t you change to another game? I remember you haven¡¯t cleared Zombie Apocalypse I yet, right?] [Forget it, forget it. This game is obviously not suitable for you. Let¡¯s change to another game.] [The host¡¯s entire life is just to make us laugh. It¡¯s too funny. Although you¡¯ve been dying, you won in terms of entertaining us!] [Host, can you stop making noises? You¡¯ve already killed the family of four several times. Don¡¯t you feel any guilt?] PDD¡¯s face turned red while seeing the viewers¡¯ mockery and ridicule. He said it because he refused to accept his failure. ¡°Hmph! I just haven¡¯t shown my strength yet. Besides, this is just for the live stream to be entertaining. If I¡¯m serious, killing those monsters is like killing a bunch of ants!¡± ¡°All of you, watch closely. I¡¯m going to show my skills!¡± After PDD finished his words, he started the game again. In the latest round, the viewers could clearly tell he was much more serious. However, dreams are always better than reality. As usual, the family was wiped out again after a small mistake that attracted a monster in less than half an hour! Finally, he couldn¡¯t find any reason to explain his failure and chose to end the stream in shame! On the other side, Wesley was also streaming A Quiet Place. A game that required absolute silence, as A Quiet Place seemed to be opposed to his personality. As a result, Wesley¡¯s failed the game in a more miserable way than PDD. It had only been three hours since he started live streaming, but he had replayed the game more than ten times! On average, he restarted the game every 20 minutes! In addition to the two of them, the world¡¯s major live broadcast platforms were filled with screams of the streamers who had been killed by monsters. Only a few game streamers could safely overcome the difficulties in the early stages, reach the final battle, destroy the monsters, and clear the game! Soon, all sorts of news and search terms related to A Quiet Place were at the top of the global trending list. The most searched trend on the list was A Quiet Place! Zombie Apocalypse made Su Ping famous. It let countless players know that there was such an independent game producer who was only interested in making good games. On the other hand, A Quiet Place made Su Ping¡¯s game a big hit. His games became a big IP known by everyone! Many people didn¡¯t even sleep to play the game as soon as possible. Players from the other hemisphere, in particular, opened Steam at 12 a.m. in the middle of the night to download the game. They stayed up all night playing the game and fell asleep after getting exhausted in their frightened cries. Three hours after the release of A Quiet Place, global sales reached 30 million downloads! Once again, A Quiet Place had broken the record that Su Ping had personally set through Zombie Apocalypse II! If the situation continues, the number of downloads of A Quiet Place would likely reach a new peak, which might even reach hundreds of millions of downloads in the future! Many netizens felt sorry for Su Ping. If such an excellent game was released as a paid game¡­ Su Ping had become a billionaire! However, after witnessing the success of A Quiet Place, Su Ping finally announced that the new games in the future would no longer be free! Instead, it would be paid games! Not long after the announcement was made, the players reacted strongly to it. However, how the players responded to Su Ping¡¯s announcement was completely different from when Storm Gaming Company announced the price of their games! [Support! You have my full support! You¡¯ve finally started to charge a fee. Otherwise, I¡¯d have to worry about you not having enough money to continue making games!] [That¡¯s right! Su Ping should¡¯ve charged us a long time ago. We have money to pay compared to the quality of the game!] [As long as you maintain your standard and produce good games, it doesn¡¯t matter if the price is slightly higher. Everyone will be willing to pay!] Su Ping was relieved to see the comments. Although Su Ping¡¯s game had a high reputation online, he was still worried that it would cause some adverse reactions if he suddenly changed his games into paid games. Now, it seemed that he had indeed been overthinking. Then, Su Ping made another announcement. His latest announcement officially set the selling price for the new game, Zombie Apocalypse III. ¡°The price of Zombie Apocalypse III would be 298 yuan! The price includes the game Zombie Apocalypse III and a set of Alice¡¯s combat suits and equipment! It¡¯ll help you clear the game faster and more smoothly! I hope everyone will enjoy my game!¡± Su Ping found that he got a meeting invitation from Steam as soon as he made his announcement. Su Ping was curious, and he joined the meeting. Soon, he found the man on the screen familiar. It seemed to be the guy who often spoke at Steam¡¯s press conferences. The guy would appear whenever Steam promoted a new game! ¡°Hello, Mr. Su. I believe you know Steam has always been paying attention to you.¡± Su Ping nodded and asked confusingly. ¡°Of course I do. What¡¯s the matter today? If you want me to join you, then forget it. I don¡¯t have such plans!¡± With a smile, the man said. ¡°Haha! You¡¯re overthinking it. We¡¯ve always respected your decision.¡± ¡°Today, I contacted you mainly because I have a suggestion.¡± ¡°Mr. Su, have you ever thought about starting the pre-sales of Zombie Apocalypse III to get back some funds for yourself?¡± Chapter 38 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Steam¡¯s executive piqued Su Ping¡¯s interest with his words. ¡°Can I do that? It will take some time before Zombie Apocalypse III is officially released. Is it alright to start the preorders now?¡± The man smiled and continued. ¡°You¡¯re overthinking the situation. Many games bounce their checks, and some even bounce them for a year. However, everyone has approved of your strength.¡± ¡°The majority of the players will choose to trust you and will be willing to pay for your game in advance.¡± ¡°The first three games you¡¯ve released are all free. I¡¯m sure you¡¯re currently suffering from the financial crisis.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I made such a proposal. Of course, you can decide yourself.¡± ¡°Please consider it carefully. If you agree, you can email the person in charge of our platform. He will tell you how to do it, and the platform will also allocate publicity resources to help you!¡± ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to working with you!¡± They simply chatted for a while before the video conference ended in a hurry. After careful consideration, Su Ping looked at the balance on his bank card on his phone and compromised to reality in the end. He had been transmigrated to this world for some time, yet on the first day, he quit his previous job. He was soon in poverty since he didn¡¯t gain any income from the three games he had released previously. Su Ping was tempted by the suggestions given by Steam¡¯s executive. He trusted the system¡¯s ability. Other games might bounce their checks, but he would never do that! Su Ping emailed the person in charge according to the terms and attached the prices for the pre-sales. As expected, Steam attached great importance to the matter and handled it exceptionally quickly. An announcement appeared on Steam¡¯s home page in less than three hours. Every player who logged on to Steam would see the advertisement! ¡°Zombie Apocalypse III is now available for pre-sale. You can enjoy a 15% discount and get a luxury gift bag by purchasing the game now! At the same time, you¡¯ll get a unique Su Ping hardcore fan logo to show it off in the community! Hurry up and pre-order it! After pre-ordering, you can also download the game in advance. You can download the game in advance as soon as the game installation package is available. You can enjoy the game as soon as the game is officially open beta!¡± The advertisement quickly caused an uproar among the players as soon as the advertisement appeared. In particular, it happened when everyone was currently discussing A Quiet Place. The sudden pre-sale of Zombie Apocalypse III had caught the players off guard! [Happiness comes of a sudden. Haha! What a laxative update!] [Su Ping is a blessing to us gamers. I¡¯ll place the order now!] [Don¡¯t fight with me! I will hang the symbol of Su Ping¡¯s hardcore fan on my body as soon as possible!] [Hehe! I¡¯m proud to walk around the community with the symbol of Su Ping¡¯s hardcore fan!] The pre-sales had just begun, and the number of orders had reached 10,000 in just a minute! An hour later, the number of pre-orders exceeded 100,000, breaking the world¡¯s historical pre-order record! In the entire world, only games with famous IPs would have a lot of players paying for them during pre-sales. Although the game gave a 15% discount during the players¡¯ purchase in pre-sales, it didn¡¯t stop Su Ping from becoming a multi-millionaire in just one hour! Afterward, Su Ping received congratulatory messages from Mikuya and Angelica. ¡°Congratulations, Su Ping. You¡¯ve successfully become a multi-millionaire. You must make more exciting games in the future!¡± ¡°Thank you for your congratulations. If there¡¯s a new game, I¡¯ll let you play it first!¡± With the pre-sales of Zombie Apocalypse III and the official release of A Quiet Place, the gaming community had transformed into a global carnival. As players successfully cleared A Quiet Place one after another, all kinds of game hacks were posted on the internet, leaving the other events in the dust. The players who had already cleared the stage were also not content with doing so. They began to do weird things! Many game hackers began looking for strange ways to kill monsters, including many unorthodox methods. For example, one of the players came to a city stadium, turned on the loudspeaker, and broadcast it to the entire city. The broadcast device had even been modified by some of the players who worked in tech support so that the speaker¡¯s output could be louder. All the monsters in the city would violently tremble and die in agonizing pain as long as a player pressed a button! The revelry lasted for nearly a week before it finally ended. People¡¯s attention and focus returned to their daily lives. However, the impact of A Quiet Place on people¡¯s lives was not over yet. Aside from its popularity on the internet, A Quiet Place soon began to affect mainstream culture in reality! The first time Su Ping learned about the situation was when Angelica sent him a picture. It was a street near Angelica¡¯s house. Many people were on the street, and it was considered the most prosperous place in the area. On the street, several special signs asking people to remain quiet appeared on both sides of the shops¡¯ entrance. Some people placed these decorations on the door plate to attract guests to enter. In addition to the changes in people¡¯s daily lives, many investors also discovered business opportunities. They set up A Quiet Place theme park, similar to the outdated haunted house. With its massive IP and popularity, A Quiet Place theme park was bound to outperform the haunted house on the verge of extinction. A Quiet Place theme park would become a new popular spot for youngsters to visit! The impact on the economy and social culture of A Quiet Place was becoming more significant. Many people who had never played A Quiet Place or who were already old had heard that such a game existed. However, A Quiet Place was a horror game, after all. It was not suitable for people in poor health to try it. Especially for people with heart disease, it was definitely not suitable to play such a horror game. Su Ping had made similar preparations on the game¡¯s log-in page. Before entering the game, the game would verify the player¡¯s identity first. The player would have to confirm that he had no significant mental or physical illness before he was allowed to log in! These were for the sake of the players. Su Ping didn¡¯t want any safety issues to happen since it would hugely impact the game¡¯s reputation. Chapter 39 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Unknowingly, nearly half a month had passed since the official open beta of A Quiet Place. After most players had watched the video guide, even some who were noobs in games could successfully clear the game. Therefore, being able to clear A Quiet Place was no longer an essential indicator of whether a person was an epic player. Now, the players valued the ability to explore the world of A Quiet Place more! The cause was the attempt of one player. After the Zombie Apocalypse II incident, most players assumed that Su Ping had set up an invisible wall in A Quiet Place. It caused almost nobody to try to leave the main map related to the plot. However, one player did it. He did it since he had mastered the way to destroy the monsters. Which meant that the entire world was empty, and players could walk around freely. Then, the player realized that the map of A Quiet Place was not just the town where he entered the game! It was a completely new open world! As long as the player¡¯s marksmanship was good enough and his combat power was strong enough, after mastering the skills to fight against monsters, he could even drive to other cities as soon as he entered the game! ¡°Hi, everyone. I¡¯m the person who found out that there was no invisible wall in the game!¡± ¡°I believe everyone has tried various ways to play the game with the methods I explained. In the players¡¯ group chat, I am in, everyone has gone in different directions and reached a very far place!¡± ¡°To prove the authenticity of my words, the following video will show the photos we took in the game.¡± ¡°I was also shocked when I first saw these photos. The world in A Quiet Place seems to bring me to a parallel universe. The world seems so real!¡± Afterward, the video continued. As expected, the video showed many scenes taken by players in different cities. Some of the images even resonated with the viewers. [Oh my god! Isn¡¯t it the square near my house? Is the world in A Quiet Place a parallel universe of the real world?] [Oh my god! I¡¯ve been to this stadium before! Oh my god, what a small world!] [We can start a challenge to see who can go the furthest in the game world! Since the real world is a sphere, can we travel around the world in the game?] Many players showed interest and joined the challenge when the comments were posted. After reading the discussions, even though players had cleared the game countless times, they still entered it with endless enthusiasm. Currently, the player¡¯s goal was no longer to clear the game. Their only goal was to go further, to the ends of the earth! Some people went to the nearest airport at the fastest speed after entering the game. They took a plane across the country, and some even crossed the entire continent! Some self-driving enthusiasts chose to drive through Westfall and reach the other coast of the mainland. Along the way, they saw the desolate scenes of the apocalypse! Some of them began to search for information about the corresponding location of the town where Su Ping was born in A Quiet Place, in reality. The most important thing was that these players had found their own homes in the game. Something even more ridiculous happened. In a post, a player posted two photos on the forum. There was only a very subtle difference between the two photos. After careful observation, the decoration in one of the photos seemed to be a little old and covered in dust. ¡°Everyone, do you see these two photos? It¡¯s my house and the house that I found in the game! It¡¯s unbelievable! I¡¯ve returned to my home in the game. The ridiculous thing is that the decorations in my house are exactly the same as in reality! Can I know what¡¯s going on? Could the game producer have some ability to collect all the information in reality to create the game? I hope Su Ping can respond to this post.¡± Similar posts began to appear on the internet, and more and more people were shocked by the realism of the game world. It was no longer just an immersive experience. It was clearly another world! As the players discovered more, Su Ping, the game producer, began to realize that things could not go on like this. The situation might get out of control. Besides, it was not Su Ping¡¯s intention to cancel the invisible wall in A Quiet Place! He had simply forgotten! In the end, when he considered the matter, he realized that the players had already traveled all over the world in the game! Su Ping wanted to stop the situation from going on. He tried to prevent more people from realizing something was wrong with the game. However, Su Ping needed help coming up with a good reason to add an invisible wall at the last minute. Otherwise, it would make people feel like he was trying to hide something. Su Ping had no choice but to post on his account. ¡°Can you guys stop wandering around in the game? Can¡¯t you just play the game related to the plot? I used big data searching techniques to accurately recreate the real world, which is why the game is like reality. As long as you have posted photos of your homes in public, my game will collect them when generating data. That¡¯s why they look so similar! If you guys keep wandering around, I will add an invisible wall to the game again! Don¡¯t blame me for being impolite. I will really do it!¡± Su Ping¡¯s stern warning was intended to get the players to concentrate on the game. However, he didn¡¯t expect that the opposite situation would happen. [Haha! Everyone, look at him! He is anxious!] [Su Ping, Su Ping, we all understand why you¡¯re begging us to play the game properly. Why are you in such a hurry?] [Do you think the technology Su Ping used is an invasion of privacy? Can we sue him to get some compensation?] [Pfft! You¡¯re trying to kill Su Ping! More than a hundred million copies of this game have been sold. If so many people sue Su Ping simultaneously, he won¡¯t be able to pay off the money even if he lives until the end of the universe!] [Haha! Poor Su Ping. He has been toyed with by us players!] [I¡¯m just a passerby. I like to watch the crazy game producer move to tears!] Su Ping read the comments on the forum helplessly. He clenched his fists and finally understood how painful and happy it was to be a game producer! ¡°A bunch of craps. They¡¯re acting so picky after playing my game!¡± ¡°They¡¯re simply a bunch of ingrates!¡± Chapter 40 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Although most of the players believed that Su Ping moved to tears, his interaction with the players undoubtedly strengthened the relationships between them. In the end, Su Ping didn¡¯t add an invisible wall to the game, which won the unanimous praise of the players! The number of Mikuya and Angelica¡¯s fans had drastically changed thanks to Su Ping¡¯s influence. In just a few months, the number of fans the two had on the internet had increased by more than ten times. They had already become one of the most popular live-streamers, with tens of millions of followers and fans! The competition in the live-streaming industry was fierce. Mikuya and Angelica¡¯s accomplishments had started to pique the jealousy of more and more live streamers. Everyone was envious of the traffic that they had. Even those who didn¡¯t live stream playing games were trying to contact Su Ping and cooperate with him. However, no matter how hard they tried to find Su Ping, the final result would be the same. They were all rejected by Su Ping! In Su Ping¡¯s opinion, it was enough for him to have the help of two famous female streamers, Mikuya and Angelica, to promote the game. Moreover, although the profit was huge, the more people there were, the smaller the portion everyone could get. As the initial partners, Su Ping naturally hoped that Angelica and Mikuya could get more benefits. At the same time, while Su Ping and the two female streamers¡¯ careers were on the rise¡­ Perhaps it was because of the enormous traffic and income of A Quiet Place, several famous game developers worldwide began to work hard. Even Storm Gaming Company put aside its grudges against many former competitors and chose to ally! Two days later, Storm Gaming Company released an official announcement, which immediately stirred up the entire game industry. ¡°From today onwards, Storm Gaming Company will form a joint studio with Steam and other game companies. The joint studio will be dedicated to developing the latest and best game projects. Our only goal is to bring the players the most entertaining and high-quality games. Please look forward to it!¡± Even though Storm Gaming Company had shown a sincere attitude and even asked a few reputable gaming companies in the game industry to endorse them¡­ However, Storm Gaming Company had disappointed the players too many times, making them lose their trust. Besides, the players had been completely won over by Su Ping. They only approved the games that Su Ping released. As a result, although the Storm Gaming Company¡¯s announcement caused a huge sensation on the internet, it still didn¡¯t meet expectations. It didn¡¯t feel like something important. People still believed that Su Ping¡¯s game would succeed Storm Gaming Company and become the benchmark in the game industry! As a transmigrator, Su Ping had finally begun to change the game industry of this world and influence the development of games on his own! If Su Ping didn¡¯t bring the Zombie Apocalypse series and A Quiet Place¡­ The players in this world were probably still playing Apocalypse Tomorrow, a pay-to-win gacha game in the guise of an apocalypse survival game! Half a month later, the number of downloads of A Quiet Place officially broke the one billion mark. It indicated that at least one in every eight people in the world had played A Quiet Place! The terrifying number had set a new historical record! Su Ping announced he would hold a one-week discount to celebrate the achievement. All players who purchased Zombie Apocalypse III before the end of the event could enjoy a 50% discount. Moreover, players who had bought Zombie Apocalypse III at a 15% discount could also apply for a partial refund! Su Ping¡¯s actions immediately received unanimous praise from players around the world. [The game¡¯s price reduction can return the price spread? Su Ping isn¡¯t making a game. He¡¯s doing charity!] [Haha! Doesn¡¯t giving 50% off mean that the original price of 298 yuan for Zombie Apocalypse III is now only 149 yuan?] [It¡¯s worth it! Apart from the game¡¯s plot, the entire world inside can be experienced and played if the game doesn¡¯t have an invisible wall. It¡¯s definitely worth the money!] Besides announcing the new event, Su Ping also released a new trailer. Aside from the Zombie Apocalypse and A Quiet Place series, it was a new game. It was a new IP! ¡°Apart from releasing the Zombie Apocalypse and A Quiet Place series, I will also develop a new series about Outer Space! I believe everyone has grown tired of playing games that are played on the ground. This is also one of the inspirations for my new game. The game¡¯s main battlefield will be from Earth to another planet. Players will encounter new monsters and challenges there! Together with their crew members, they fought a battle of wits and courage against the terrifying extraterrestrial life forms. In the end, they successfully survived and explored the universe freely! I hope everyone can keep looking forward to my new game and keep an eye on my latest developments. Once there is any further progress, I will share it with everyone immediately!¡± Su Ping¡¯s announcement caused a heated discussion among the netizens. Many people thought that Su Ping would expand the virtual world¡¯s boundaries from earth to the entire universe. After all, based on the experience of the previous three games, Su Ping seemed to be trying his best to restore reality to every game world he created. Did that mean that if Su Ping created an interstellar game, players could travel freely between planets in the universe? People were excited just thinking about it happening in the future! Soon, major game development companies all around the world saw Su Ping¡¯s announcement. It affected their plans for developing new games. The influence had even spread beyond the gaming industry. Even many major technology companies were worried that Su Ping would be too powerful. Would Su Ping eventually be able to create his own universe if he kept working on his games? In that case, none of the world¡¯s technology companies would be able to compete with Su Ping! The players would live in the virtual world created by Su Ping. Su Ping would also monopolize the market! Despite their concerns, the big technology companies could not put Su Ping under a certain amount of restriction. After all, Su Ping was an independent game producer. No one could restrict him! The major technology companies could do nothing but watch Su Ping develop his gaming empire. Finally, Zombie Apocalypse III, which had been in pre-sale for nearly a month, was officially released! The sales had broken another record. Su Ping was made fun of by many netizens for being the only one capable of surpassing his records in the future. Chapter 41 - 41 Even Mr. President Cant Resist the Game 41 Even Mr. President Can¡¯t Resist the Game [It¡¯s terrifying! The game has just been released in less than a day, but millions of copies have been sold! I¡¯m afraid only Su Ping himself can break such a record!] [I really don¡¯t know what¡¯s in Su Ping¡¯s mind. How can he create such an entertaining game as if it¡¯s easy-peasy for him?] [Steam and Storm Gaming Company must be furious as hell. Su Ping has surpassed the reputation and fame they spent decades building up in just a few months!] [I hope that Su Ping will keep his intention of creating entertaining games and continue to bring us more interesting games!] [Support Zombie Apocalypse III! I¡¯ll pay my respects by purchasing the game!] With the explosive popularity of Zombie Apocalypse III, netizens soon set off a wave of enthusiasm for clearing Zombie Apocalypse III. Just like the previous games, the live-streaming industry was in revelry. In addition to the gaming streamers, streamers from other genres also started to live stream playing Zombie Apocalypse III to gain popularity from the game. Su Ping didn¡¯t know that his game had attracted two major social media platforms and the most prominent video platform in the world to have their eyes on him. At the headquarters of Youtube. It was located in a coastal city that hundreds of millions of tourists visited yearly. It was considered one of the world¡¯s biggest resorts. The fact that Youtube had its office building in such an advanced modern city indicated the company¡¯s strength. Youtube has a wide range of influence worldwide. The platform¡¯s billions of registered users cover almost half the world¡¯s population! Meanwhile, a man in a suit and leather shoes sat behind the desk in an office with enormous floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of Youtube headquarters, flipping through the files in his hand. ¡°Mr. President, Su Ping is the person who developed the Zombie Apocalypse series and A Quiet Place!¡± ¡°According to the statistics, the Zombie Apocalypse series and A Quiet Place have more than one million entries on our platform in the past two months!¡± ¡°The total clicks of these entries have exceeded one billion! It¡¯s on par with many well-known Triple-A games!¡± ¡°As a result, the game has brought us huge traffic and more users registered to our platform. Currently, more than 10 million users will first search for videos of other players playing the game and communicate with them after logging in!¡± ¡°Moreover, more than 100000 new streamers started to live stream in playing the Zombie Apocalypse series and A Quiet Place. Among them, 100 streamers have more than a million subscribers, and there are thousands of streamers with hundreds of thousands of subscribers!¡± ¡°The total monthly revenue has already reached several billion yuan!¡± As the secretary spoke, he started to feel his lips dry and mouth parched. He thought, ¡°The statistics are shocking enough to let people praise him from the deep of their souls.¡± ¡°What kind of genius can design such a perfect game that worldwide players are praising it?¡± ¡°Despite competitors who maliciously give bad reviews, almost everyone rated the game highly!¡± ¡°His games even set off a cultural wave around the world. People performed arts on the streets, whether in the city or village, wearing clothes similar to the outfits of the Zombie Apocalypse series and A Quiet Place.¡± ¡°To show their personality and preferences.¡± ¡°Hence, it¡¯s undoubtedly a trend!¡± ¡°And the trend is created by one person!¡± Meanwhile, Anderson, the president of Youtube, was still quietly looking through the materials in his hands. Youtube had just ended a board meeting. The main discussion at the meeting was whether the platform should contact Su Ping and work with him! The board members expressed their opinions at the meeting, and it would be the decision guidance for the company on the price it needed to pay to contact Su Ping! ¡°Yes, he is indeed a talented person.¡± ¡°If such a genius is willing to join our company, he will definitely bring great benefits and positive impact to our company.¡± Anderson said indifferently. The secretary nodded and asked, ¡°Mr. President, in your opinion, when should we send someone to get in touch with Su Ping?¡± Anderson thought for a moment. Then he suddenly shook his head. ¡°Don¡¯t do that first.¡± ¡°Why? Do you have any other concerns?¡± The secretary was very confused. Anderson explained, ¡°I heard that Steam and Storm Gaming Company once tried to get in touch with him, but they were all rejected.¡± ¡°I think he is rich in romanticism, perfectionism, and idealism, which is a lone ranger!¡± ¡°For someone like him, no matter how much we pay or how sincere we are, he will refuse as long as we take the initiative to contact him.¡± ¡°What should we do? Twitter and Facebook have already sent employees to contact him!¡± ¡°I¡¯m worried that¡­¡± This time, the secretary was interrupted by Anderson before he finished talking. ¡°Just let them do it! Trust me. In the end, they will fail just like Steam and Storm Gaming Company!¡± As a subordinate, the secretary would only provide the president with the appropriate attention and ideas to make him happy, even though he couldn¡¯t understand why the president was so confident. If he disagreed with the president¡¯s ideas, it would easily arouse his antipathy. ¡°Mr. President, I know what to do. I¡¯ll send someone to keep an eye on Twitter and Facebook. I¡¯ll report the situation to you immediately if anything happens!¡± Hence, the secretary nodded and left. After the secretary left, Anderson turned on his computer and started to search for information about Su Ping on the internet. ¡°Is the Zombie Apocalypse that fun?¡± He looked through numerous positive online reviews and strong recommendations from countless people. Anderson, who had lost his interest in playing games long ago, couldn¡¯t help but place his mouse on the download button. ¡°Forget it. I can only know what Su Ping wants by knowing him inside out.¡± Anderson sighed helplessly. He didn¡¯t expect that despite being a middle-aged man, he still had to try something new just to win someone over. ¡°Ask someone to send a set of immersive experience equipment to my office!¡± ¡°Roger that, Mr. President!¡± A brand-new, advanced immersive experience system was soon brought to Anderson¡¯s office. After Anderson asked everyone to leave his office, he locked the office door and put on the equipment. ¡°Start the game!¡± Everything in front of him started to change rapidly. Soon, a plot animation showed, and Anderson gradually immersed himself in the game. Anderson felt that his heart, which had lost its enthusiasm for games long ago, seemed more excited than usual. Chapter 42 - 42 Su Pings Honor 42 Su Ping¡¯s Honor Su Ping would never expect that the president of the most influential video platform in the world would download his game just to win him over. However, the matter would be exposed a long time later. Currently, nobody knew that Anderson had become one of the players of Su Ping¡¯s games. Moreover, he would soon be killed by zombies and ends up in a tragic state in the game. He, a man who had always been successful, was about to suffer the biggest setback. Meanwhile, Su Ping was busy as a bee. He felt like he was so stressed and was going to implode. He once thought he would be free after uploading the game and could rest for a while. He planned to lie down and count his money during his break. He didn¡¯t expect to receive invitations from Facebook and Twitter the next day. ¡°Mr. Su, please allow Facebook to pay our highest respect to you. Your game has changed the world! Your game has changed people¡¯s entertainment. We now want to extend an invitation to you sincerely. We hope you can meet our company executive in your hectic schedule. We¡¯ll give you the best offer ever to join Facebook. It is something that hundreds of millions of users on our platform are looking forward to! If you are willing to cooperate with us, please email us at the following email address.¡± The content of the email from Twitter was similar. First, it praised Su Ping with all kinds of fancy words. Afterward, they would discuss the matter of inviting him to join their company. Moreover, they would guarantee that they were giving the best offer ever! Su Ping decided to reject the offer after reading the two emails. However, the situation was different. Twitter and Facebook gave him the offers. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be rude of me to ignore these emails?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be in a bad situation if I anger these two companies and make them decide to target me¡­¡± ¡°Should I just reply to their email and try to reject them tactfully?¡± Hence, Su Ping was tortured by the situation. Su Ping thought, ¡°I need to choose my words carefully. I must avoid hurting them and make them feel I almost agreed to their request.¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard as hell!¡± Since Su Ping was troubled by the situation, he was still not done editing the email and sending them out when the sun was about to set. Meanwhile, Su Ping was puzzled and thought, ¡°Facebook and Twitter had sent me emails. How about Youtube?¡± ¡°When did Youtube become so reserved?¡± At 8 p.m., Su Ping suddenly received a video call request from Angelica. ¡°Eh, Angelica? She should still be live streaming, right? Why is she video-calling me now?¡± Su Ping looked at the screen in confusion but still answered the call. Angelica¡¯s beautiful face immediately appeared on the screen. Although Su Ping and Angelica were already close friends, he was still amazed by her beauty every time he saw her. ¡°Hey, Su Ping, are you busy now? If you¡¯re busy, I¡¯ll call you again in a while.¡± Angelica said with a smile on her headphones. Su Ping shook his head with a smile. ¡°Haha! Initially, I had something to do. However, I¡¯ll pretend I¡¯m free since you took the initiative to call me.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Angelica blushed. She seemed very shy, just like a young girl in her first love. ¡°You! How can you say such a thing? You¡¯re just making me embarrassed!¡± Angelica¡¯s voice was soft and sweet. Her current image was totally different from her killing everyone in the game when she was doing a live stream. Su Ping finally realized that she was actually live-streaming. It meant that what he had just said should have been heard by the viewers in the live stream room! Su Ping had a bad feeling about the situation. Hence, he quickly opened the live stream app and searched for Angelica¡¯s live stream room. He joined the live stream room to observe the situation, which was just as expected. The comments in the live stream room were all about ridiculing him. [Ohhh!! There must be something happening between you two! Host, please be honest with us. When did you start a relationship with our Su Ping!] [Ship!] [When will you get married? I can¡¯t wait to attend your wedding!] [Boohoo, our precious host is taken¡­ Although her man is Su Ping, I still can¡¯t accept it!] [Host, you might be the only streamer having fans supporting you to start a relationship. Haha! It¡¯s all because your boyfriend is Su Ping!] When Su Ping was about to explain the situation, the viewers suddenly changed their topic of discussion in the comments. [Jesus! Su Ping is here!] [Where? Where is Su Ping?] [Didn¡¯t you see? The fellow who just joined the live stream room is Su Ping¡¯s account!] [Let us give Su Ping a warm welcome!] [The captain of the Spec Ops Field Unit of Raccoon City welcomes Su Ping!] [The elite of Zelda welcomes you, Su Ping!] In conclusion, all the comments were the same. All of the viewers commented, ¡°Welcome, Su Ping!¡± Although the comments looked childish, Su Ping was flattered by the situation for some reason. He didn¡¯t expect himself to be so popular! Naturally, Angelica saw the comments and teased. ¡°Su Ping, you have no idea how my fans pestered me to make this video call!¡± ¡°Since viewers watch my live stream solely to want me to contact you every day, I feel like I¡¯m just a substitute for them. Sigh, I¡¯m such a failed streamer!¡± Angelica looked cute when she sighed, and the comments changed to praise her cuteness. Meanwhile, viewers who had learned that Su Ping had shown up in Angelica¡¯s live stream room joined the live stream room to see Su Ping¡¯s account. It made other live streamers complain incessantly. However, they could just helplessly watch the number of views decline rapidly. Someone started to send gifts that cost thousands of yuan in Angelica¡¯s live stream room¡­ Many popular streamers also joined Angelica¡¯s live stream room. Afterward, all kinds of expensive gifts kept popping up on the screen as if the viewers were paying tribute. Everyone watching the live stream was extremely surprised when the overwhelming gift effects nearly filled the entire screen. Meanwhile, the live stream had reached millions of views. The live stream was going to crash because the server was overloaded due to a large number of viewers! ¡°Everyone! Please calm down! Please stop sending gifts for the time being. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid that the live stream will crash!¡± Angelica quickly urged the viewers to be rational. The viewers finally stopped sending gifts and suppressed their excitement to avoid the live stream crashing, which spared the live stream room. Meanwhile, almost half of the platform¡¯s streamers relayed Angelica¡¯s live stream. It was such a rare and grand occasion! It could definitely be written in history! Su Ping came up with an idea when watching such a grand occasion happen. Su Ping asked tentatively, ¡°Angelica, I have a good idea. Do you want to hear it?¡± Chapter 43 - 43 The Challenge of Finding the First Player Who Clears the Game! 43 The Challenge of Finding the First Player Who Clears the Game! ¡°A good idea?¡± Angelica asked curiously. Meanwhile, millions of viewers in the live stream perked up their ears, waiting for Su Ping to continue his words. Su Ping said smilingly, ¡°It¡¯s a rare scene that everyone is gathering here now. Moreover, I¡¯m grateful that everyone is here because of my game.¡± ¡°So, why don¡¯t we use this rare opportunity to organize an event or raise a challenge?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see who is more courageous and has better skills!¡± At this point, many people began to consider his intentions. However, most of them were still clueless. Su Ping continued. ¡°Zombie Apocalypse III has only been released for less than two days. I¡¯m sure that many players and streamers have yet to play the game.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we set a time to give everyone who had joined the live stream a chance to participate in the challenge?¡± ¡°All you need to do is screen record the game when you¡¯re playing to prove that you didn¡¯t start the game in advance.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see who¡¯s the fastest to clear Zombie Apocalypse III!¡± ¡°I will prepare a mysterious gift for the first player who completes the challenge. Everyone, do you like my suggestion?¡± The live stream room was in chaos as soon as Su Ping finished his words. The live stream started to lag again due to the overwhelming number of comments. Soon, the live stream became smooth again with the help of the official platform, which expanded the traffic channel. However, netizens had just started to discuss the challenge raised by Su Ping. The topic would be even more popular, and netizens would discuss it more enthusiastically! [A speed challenge? I like it! It just happens that I am about to finish downloading the game. Haha! I¡¯m joining the challenge!] [I¡¯m joining the challenge too!] [But¡­ If I participate in this challenge, I won¡¯t be able to watch the live stream, right? Although I¡¯m looking forward to getting the mysterious gift, I still prefer to watch the live stream!] [Haha! Since I can¡¯t clear the game quickly, I¡¯ll watch the live stream. Now, all the streamers will start the challenge at the same time, and I can watch six or seven live streams at the same time. It¡¯s so exciting just thinking about it!] [Haha! Whoever passes the stage a little slower will be very embarrassed!] Many passers-by were eager to join Su Ping¡¯s challenge, and they immediately updated the game, hoping they could win the challenge. Moreover, the live stream room¡¯s thousands of streamers would naturally participate in the challenge. Besides, they were grateful to Su Ping. Obviously, Su Ping raised the challenge to take care of their live streams. Su Ping did something he didn¡¯t need to do. Thus they were thankful. As long as he stayed in Angelica¡¯s live stream room, it didn¡¯t matter if it was just his account. He would attract numerous fans and traffic, which would plunge the number of views in other live stream rooms! It would definitely hit the streamer¡¯s income hard. However, Su Ping didn¡¯t do that. Instead, he launched a challenge so that everyone could participate. In this way, there would naturally be fans who would watch other people¡¯s live streams to see who would clear the game faster! After all, everyone started the challenge at the same time! No matter how the challenge was going, it would definitely be entertaining! Angelica immediately understood Su Ping¡¯s intention. Then, she said to the camera. ¡°Now, I¡¯ll start a vote. Those who agree to start the challenge can comment ¡®1¡¯, and those who disagree can comment ¡®2¡¯. We¡¯ll decide whether to begin the challenge depending on your choice!¡± The vote ended five minutes later! Most people agreed to start the challenge! ¡°Su Ping, it seems that everyone likes to start the challenge. You should start preparing your mysterious gift in advance!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let the players down!¡± ¡°Of course. I¡¯m very generous!¡± Su Ping smiled and said. ¡°I now announce that the challenge will officially begin in half an hour, which is at 9 p.m.!¡± ¡°Then, Angelica, you can continue with your live stream now. I¡¯m going to hang up. Bye!¡± ¡°Okay, bye.¡± Su Ping stayed in the live stream room after he ended the video call. He was also very interested in his challenge and thought, ¡°Who will be the winner?¡± Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the challenge officially began! Popular gaming streamers, including Angelica, PDD, Wesley, and Mikuya, opened Zombie Apocalypse III and started playing almost simultaneously! In addition, 100,000 accounts started live streaming at the time. Since the platform¡¯s live-streaming feature had a recording function, which was highly useful, several of them began a brief live stream. Hence, a grand occasion happened. When people clicked into the game segment, the results of people live-streaming Zombie Apocalypse III were all over the page! The platform was just like a battlefield where armies were singing their fight song, and the fight song was about people eager to achieve the title of being the first player to clear the game! Su Ping went to wash his face. He lay on his bed after cleaning himself up. Then, he turned on his computer and enjoyed the revelry. In Angelica¡¯s live stream. At this moment, Angelica was chatting with the viewers while waiting to enter the game. ¡°Everyone, tonight, you will witness the birth of the best female gaming streamer! I¡¯ll get this title with my strength!¡± ¡°We are the champion! We will definitely be the champion!¡± ¡°As the first player to clear Zombie Apocalypse I, I¡¯m going to be the first to clear Zombie Apocalypse III as well!¡± However, the viewers disapprove of Angelica¡¯s ambition. The comment section was filled with mocking comments. Of course, everyone was just joking. [Haha! If the host doesn¡¯t wet her pants in fear, it¡¯ll be considered a success!] [Haha! Su Ping didn¡¯t raise a challenge during the Zombie Apocalypse I era, and you¡¯re the only streamer with the game¡¯s installation package. How dare you show off something that¡¯s not valuable!] [I¡¯ll thank Jesus if you can clear the game faster than Wesley. However, I suggest you wear diapers in advance to prevent yourself from wetting your pants in fear!] [Haha! What a classic scene! Streamers usually say grandiose words before the game but talk nonsense after the game starts!] [Hello, host. I¡¯m Dr. Jenny, the attending physician at California Psychiatric Hospital. Do you need my help?] The live stream room was immersed in a joyful atmosphere. Angelica was naturally unaffected by the mocks since she was already used to them. She entered the game confidently and began the challenge. Before the game officially started and was in the loading phase, Angelica, who had already played Zombie Apocalypse I and Zombie Apocalypse II, suddenly noticed something. ¡°Eh? Why did the loading time in Zombie Apocalypse III seem much longer than in the previous games?¡± ¡°Could the game have a longer storyline? Or is the map bigger than before?¡± As soon as Angelica said that, the viewers in the live stream room started discussing it excitedly. After all, they could watch to their hearts¡¯ content if the plot was longer. Although the game had not even started, the viewers were already excited! How would Zombie Apocalypse III surprise everyone? Chapter 44 - 44 Zombie Apocalypse III: Extinction 44 Zombie Apocalypse III: Extinction The game started! ¡°Zombie Apocalypse III: Extinction¡± The game¡¯s title appeared in the dark of vision, making one¡¯s hair stand on end. Extinction! It was such a miserable word. What did it mean in the plot of the game? ¡°It seems that Zombie Apocalypse III is likely to start an even more glorious era. I can¡¯t wait to see the plot of the game!¡± Angelica felt her heart beating faster than ever, as if she hoped to transmigrate into the game world. Suddenly, there was a flash of light. Then, a review animation appeared in her field of vision. In the animation, Angelica saw the helicopter that escaped Raccoon City in Zombie Apocalypse II. At that time, she had left by that plane! After that, the plane crashed, and Alice was arrested and brought to a laboratory. The following animation was about how Alice escaped from the laboratory and the numerous secret experiments that Umbrella Corporation experimented on her and monitored her all the time. ¡°Su Ping has done a great job with the details. Although Zombie Apocalypse III is famous worldwide, I still think it¡¯s necessary to give a review!¡± ¡°Since many players might not have played Zombie Apocalypse I and Zombie Apocalypse II, the game starts with a review animation that allows players to integrate into the game as soon as possible!¡± The viewers unanimously agreed with Angelica¡¯s words. [Su Ping is so gentle. I didn¡¯t expect a game programmer like him to be so thoughtful.] [Haha! Su Ping, someone called you a programmer! You better explain for yourself!] [Oh no! Su Ping is no longer a cold and charming prince! But the gentle Su Ping is also charming!] [Hey, Japanese player, please calm down!] Just as the live stream room viewers were in full swing with their discussion, Angelica saw a flash of light. Angelica opened her eyes, and her body shivered as she touched something cold. She looked around and suddenly felt that the surrounding seemed familiar. The live stream room viewers were more quick-witted than her and recognized the place. [Eh? Isn¡¯t it the bathroom where Alice woke up in Zombie Apocalypse I?] [Yeah, but what does it mean? Did Su Ping make a mistake in uploading the installation package by sending up the data of Zombie Apocalypse I?] [I don¡¯t think Su Ping will make such a rookie mistake.] Although Angelica was also puzzled by the situation, she still calmed the viewers. ¡°Everyone, please calm down. Let me go out and have a look!¡± Afterward, Angelica got up and left the bathroom. Just like Zombie Apocalypse I, she found a red dress, put it on, and walked around the house. Suddenly, she heard a sound coming from the door behind her and immediately became alert. The viewers were egging on Angelica. [Host, don¡¯t be afraid! Let¡¯s go and see what¡¯s behind the door!] [Hehe! There¡¯s a surprise when you open the door!] [Host, if you¡¯re afraid, someone else will be the first to complete the challenge!] The goad was indeed effective. Angelica didn¡¯t know why, but when she thought about how someone else had won the challenge first¡­ Indescribable feelings spread in her heart when she imagined that Su Ping would give someone else a gift. She gritted her teeth. ¡°I¡¯ll open the door! I¡¯m not afraid of you! It¡¯s just a game, anyway. I can always restart it!¡± With the determination to die, Angelica turned the doorknob fiercely. However, she was stunned and felt her brain would explode when she saw the following scene! The comments in the live stream room immediately turned into chaos! It was a clean and tidy hallway. Countless fluorescent lamps lined both sides of the wall. The scene was familiar, but it was also like a nightmare! Countless players had been tortured to death in the hallway, and it had even kicked some of the less courageous players offline. [Fuck! Why is it here again? Isn¡¯t this the mansion? Why did the hallway appear here?] [Damn Su Ping! Is he trying to trick us?] [I don¡¯t feel like downloading Zombie Apocalypse III anymore. I can sense Su Ping¡¯s repulsive addiction!] [Su Ping definitely did it on purpose! He¡¯s deliberately using the scene to scare us!] [Don¡¯t go! You¡¯ll definitely die if you go in! Su Ping is such a bad guy!] Angelica naturally knew the dangers of the hallway. It was the dreadful Laser Hallway! However, at that moment, Angelica hesitated and hadn¡¯t returned to her senses. Suddenly, she felt a pair of hands push her from behind. She staggered and stepped into the hallway in front of her. Then, the door behind her was slammed shut! [Shit! It¡¯s over! Host, go offline, and restart the game as soon as possible. You still have time! Quick! Otherwise, you¡¯ll be tortured!] [Fortunately, the host just started the game for a few minutes. It won¡¯t take long to restart the game!] [Don¡¯t torture yourself! This damn hallway is just like hell!] [My heart is aching for Angelica. Su Ping is definitely bullying her on purpose! How can the same scene appear in two games? It¡¯s too superficial!] Meanwhile, nobody ridiculed Angelica in the comments. All of them hoped that she would quit the game and start over. Obviously, the hallway had left a nightmarish impression in most players¡¯ hearts. However, Angelica hesitated while looking at the comments! ¡°From what I know about Su Ping, he¡¯s not the kind of person you¡¯re talking about!¡± ¡°Every scene he designed must contain information! All of them are linked to each other and will lead the players to victory!¡± ¡°Hence, I won¡¯t restart the game! There¡¯s definitely a way to survive the stage!¡± Angelica gradually became determined as she spoke. She decided to face her fear and challenge the Laser Hallway! Meanwhile, the viewers were utterly shocked by her reactions. Nobody expected such a weak-looking girl would be so stubborn and choose to fight head-on! [Sigh, I¡¯ve given up on her. The host is totally in love with Su Ping!] [Su Ping, you¡¯ve committed the most heinous crime! Look at what you¡¯ve done to our dear Angelica!] [Although I¡¯m praising the host¡¯s courage, I still choose to leave the live stream for the time being. Boo-hoo, I can¡¯t bear to see the host¡¯s body cut into pieces!] [Me too! I¡¯m going to slip away first. I¡¯ll come back later when she restarts the game!] The views in the live stream room plunged by a few thousand, but Angelica didn¡¯t care. Under her gaze, a straight laser beam slowly appeared at the end of the hallway and slashed against her! The moment Angelica and everyone else witnessed this, they all held their breath! The best way to overcome fear was to face it! Chapter 45 - 45 The Strange Plot of the Game 45 The Strange Plot of the Game The first laser was the easiest to pass through. However, starting from the third laser, it became trickier to dodge the laser, and the number of lasers gradually increased! As for the last stage of the hallway¡¯s challenge, most players would definitely fail once they encountered it! And this time, no Special Forces would try to crack the door¡¯s password from outside! In other words, continuously challenging it was still a dead end! Then, what was the key to breaking out of the situation? Would Su Ping design a stage in the game that would lead players to certain death? The second laser beam came straight at Angelica. She jumped nimbly and successfully dodged it. Meanwhile, she was thinking fast to find the clue to clearing the stage. Soon, the third laser beam appeared! Angelica did a backflip and survived at the cost of having half her skirt cut off. ¡°I can¡¯t go on like this. The laser beams are increasing, and they¡¯re coming faster and faster. I don¡¯t have much time left!¡± Angelica looked around. She discovered the surrounding was impervious to damage. Angelica thought, ¡°Since I can¡¯t escape here by breaking the walls or the floor, then there¡¯s only a place left¡­¡± With her thoughts, Angelica suddenly lifted her head! The ceiling above was pieced together, looking a little like¡­ It¡¯s like a ventilation duct! ¡°I know it! I know how to get out of here!¡± ¡°I knew Su Ping wouldn¡¯t create a meaningless stage just to disgust us!¡± Meanwhile, Angelica successfully dodged the third laser beam. However, the fourth laser came quickly. And just as Angelica had expected¡­ The laser beam became a web-like laser beam. It would definitely kill Angelica if she stayed on the ground! Angelica jumped high before the laser hit her. As expected, Angelica successfully broke the ventilation duct above her. Although she broke the ventilation duct, she could feel it was solid and had been reinforced! Angelica used all her strength to support her body up, and the laser beam streaked below her. It cut off a layer of the sole of Angelica¡¯s shoe. Luckily, it didn¡¯t hurt her. ¡°I, I¡¯ve succeeded! I¡¯ve survived!¡± Angelica¡¯s adaptability shocked everyone in the live stream, making the viewers stop commenting. After a few minutes, the viewers finally returned their senses and started commenting. [Shit! It¡¯s so exciting! Does it mean that every player must go through the Laser Hallway to clear the stage?] [Su Ping, it¡¯s a fucking great idea! I like the plot of placing the players on a field of death and letting them fight to live!] [Only Angelica can find a way to escape from here!] In addition to the viewers staying in Angelica¡¯s live stream room, many were constantly wandering around the live stream rooms of popular live streamers. Some who had just joined Angelica¡¯s live stream room found the atmosphere slightly different. Afterward, they were shocked. [Damn, where is this? Why is Angelica so fast?] [Haha! PDD is still hesitating about whether to enter the Laser Hallway. I didn¡¯t expect Angelica is already starting the next stage!] [That shitty Mikuya has already restarted the game and was cut into pieces twice. Moreover, she still hadn¡¯t found the key to breaking through when she almost kicked offline. I give up on watching her live stream. I¡¯ll just watch Angelica¡¯s live stream!] Unlike the viewers, who celebrated, Angelica didn¡¯t put her guard down. She was utterly tensed up! She believed that the stage was still ongoing. Zombie Apocalypse III was similar to Zombie Apocalypse I, but it was strange in its details. Angelica thought, ¡°Why did Su Ping design a stage to let the players return to the place that appeared in Zombie Apocalypse I?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t he worried that the players will be dissatisfied?¡± After crawling through the long ventilation duct, a ray of light finally appeared. It seemed to be a bright and clean hallway below. Angelica opened the ventilation pipe and jumped down. Angelica thought, ¡°A hospital?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the hospital in Raccoon City!¡± Angelica immediately recognized the scene. It was also a place that appeared in Zombie Apocalypse I and II! However, nobody was in the hospital. Although the lights were bright, the hospital still made people feel creepy. Angelica looked at the hospital bed next to her. The hospital bed seemed out of place in the clean and empty hallway. There must be something wrong with such an abnormal situation! Angelica decisively pulled a cart over and pushed it forward! Nothing happened after she walked for a while, and there were no zombies. The situation made Angelica let down her guard slightly. She gradually walked faster, and then she started running! The rumbling of the cart on the ground made Angelica feel much more at ease, and she became braver. Just when everyone thought nothing would happen in the hallway and believed Angelica would soon reach the end and find her way out of the hospital¡­ ¡°Bang!¡± A huge black object cut the bed in front of Angelica in half from top to bottom! The fracture was as smooth as a mirror! Angelica screamed in fear. Her fear immediately reached the warning level set by the system. Fortunately, she immediately adjusted her condition and avoided being kicked offline! ¡°Aah!¡± ¡°It almost scared me to death. What the hell is this?¡± ¡°How can there be such a damn scary thing in the hospital!¡± Angelica patted her chest to calm herself down. However, it didn¡¯t give her a chance to catch her breath. Bullets suddenly flew towards her from the intersection of the hallway! ¡°Rat-tat-tat!¡± It was a mini-rifle! Following the gunshots, Angelica felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She could feel wet and warm liquid when she touched it. It was blood! Angelica lowered her head and looked at her abdomen, which was already stained red with blood. At least a few bullets had hit her body just now! When such a situation occurred, it meant that the game was over! Angelica closed her eyes unwillingly. After a few seconds, she realized she had lost control of her body! She had failed the game! However, after a while, Angelica realized she hadn¡¯t returned to the main page. When she opened her eyes, she realized she was still in the hospital from a third-person perspective. She saw Alice¡¯s dead body on the ground and was very confused. ¡°What¡¯s going on? I¡¯m already dead, but why isn¡¯t the game over yet?¡± ¡°Did the game add a resurrection function?¡± Angelica had no idea what was happening. Chapter 46 - 46 The Debate Over Whether Zombies Could Be Controlled 46 The Debate Over Whether Zombies Could Be Controlled Other than Angelica, the viewers in the live stream room were also confused by the situation. Some of the viewers didn¡¯t know much about Angelica. They even thought she had cheated on the game to remain in her player¡¯s perspective after she died. However, the game¡¯s screen changed and proved that Angelica didn¡¯t cheat. Angelica¡¯s perspective began to rise rapidly and then went through the ceiling, going all the way up. When everyone saw the barren, brown area, they finally realized that it wasn¡¯t the Raccoon City Hospital! It turned out that Angelica was at an underground building just now! Meanwhile, two researchers in chemical protective suits were carrying a corpse to the ground. It was Alice, who had been killed by a mini-rifle not long ago. Afterward, they threw the corpse into a deep ditch nearby a wooden house! At this moment, everyone in the live stream room felt suffocated! Everyone saw that Alice¡¯s corpses were stacked up in the deep ditch. At a glance, there were at least hundreds of them! [What¡¯s going on? Why are there so many Alices? And all of them are dead!] [Where the hell is here?] [Can this game be downloaded and played without being rated? Won¡¯t it be reported and banned?] [It¡¯s so cruel. How can they mistreat Alice? She is a beautiful girl, though. What the heck is going on?] The perspective progressively increased in height until it exceeded one thousand meters. Everyone could only see yellow and black. Yellow represented the deserts, and for black, it was thousands of zombies! Other than the desert, there were only zombies left in the world! ¡°What a miserable world!¡± A narration sounded. It was Su Ping! Initially, he considered hiring someone to do the narration, but after some thought, he decided to do it himself. He was worried that the person he hired would be unable to express the movie¡¯s mood! After all, he had seen and understood the original movie well. After Su Ping¡¯s introduction, everyone learned they were located in a desert in the continent¡¯s west. The zombie virus continued to spread after the nuclear explosion. First, it spread to a country, then to a continent, and in the end, it spread to the whole world! As a result, humans were on the verge of extinction. In addition, the virus outbreak affected the global climate and environment, causing the world to begin desertification rapidly! The sinner of the situation, Umbrella Corporation employees, was forced to live underground and continue their research. Soon, the animation changed and showed the situation in a meeting room. [It¡¯s Wesker! And Dr. Birkin!] [Darn it! I can¡¯t believe that they¡¯re still alive. I really hope they¡¯ve been bitten to death by zombies!] [That¡¯s right! It¡¯s unfair that sinners don¡¯t get karma, and good-hearted people are mistreated!] [Why are they sitting there, perfectly fine? Host, go and find them! Kill them! Avenge the people who died in the disaster!] The narration continued. The viewers gradually understood the situation. According to Dr. Birkin¡¯s research, zombies could live for decades. To prevent the extinction of humans¡­ Dr. Birkin was inventing a type of serum that could restore a certain level of intelligence to zombies and make them controlled by humans! In this way, the zombies wouldn¡¯t affect humans anymore. However, they would become human tools and labor force! Everyone was shocked by such an unconstrained idea. Even Angelica commented that it was impossible. ¡°I can guarantee that Dr. Birkin will fail! There may be foreshadowing in this scene!¡± ¡°Zombies are dead humans. How can they regain their human sanity?¡± After hearing Angelica¡¯s words, everyone expressed their opinions in the comment section, and people couldn¡¯t reach a consensus. In the end, the viewers¡¯ opinions were divided into two groups. A group of viewers believed Dr. Birkin would succeed, while others rejected such an idea. [Host, you¡¯re right! Zombies are dead creatures and have lost their malleability!] [Besides, zombies were unstable creatures. They are like cancer cells sticking together to form a human body. How can a zombie have sanity in this situation!] [It¡¯s hard to say. After all, it¡¯s a game. Obviously, the world in the game has more advanced technologies. Everything is possible to happen!] The two groups of viewers quarreled for the time being. After Angelica¡¯s mediation, they finally temporarily subsided and concentrated on watching the game¡¯s plot. After the animation ended, Angelica¡¯s vision turned black again. She had a feeling that the game was about to begin officially! ¡°So, everything that happened before was just the prelude. It helps the players integrate into the world of Zombie Apocalypse III easily.¡± ¡°After all, the world in the game has changed too much. The players might be clueless about the methods of clearing the game if they started playing it without watching the intro.¡± Angelica said thoughtfully, and the majority of viewers immediately acknowledged her speculation. [Su Ping is so detailed! He even made an intro.] [Is Su Ping a ¡°baby carrot¡±? Can you tell me more about it?] [What¡¯s going on? Am I watching a gaming streamer¡¯s live stream? Why things started to be erotic?] [Haha! Su Ping, are you watching the live stream? Someone said you¡¯re a ¡°baby carrot¡±!] [I¡¯m Su Ping¡¯s alternate account. I¡¯m telling you that I¡¯m so embarrassed!] Angelica couldn¡¯t help but laugh when she saw the comments. Her laugh compelled the wealthy viewers in the live stream room to send her expensive gifts. Viewers were commenting and praising her beauty. Finally, Angelica¡¯s vision became bright. The moment she regained control of her body, she immediately screamed. ¡°Aah!¡± It was because Alice, the character she was controlling, was riding a motorcycle at breakneck speed! If she ignored the situation when she entered the game, she might fail at the start of the game! It was impossible to survive falling from a motorcycle at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour! Angelica quickly regained her balance and continued riding the motorcycle. Afterward, Angelica gradually slowed down and stopped by the side of the road. She checked on her belongings to confirm her location and situation. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, I think I¡¯m in the desert in the continent¡¯s west. I guess the game¡¯s goal is to find the underground laboratory we saw at the beginning!¡± ¡°But why am I all alone?¡± Looking at the empty desert beside her, Angelica was a little puzzled. Angelica thought, ¡°Where are my teammates who escaped from Raccoon City?¡± ¡°Where did they go?¡± Then, Alice found a notebook, and the puzzle was gradually revealed. Chapter 47 - 47 Close to Reality Is the Games Theme 47 Close to Reality Is the Game¡¯s Theme ¡°It turns out that Umbrella Corporation has done something to me. They can monitor me by using satellites! That¡¯s why I¡¯m alone!¡± ¡°No wonder¡­¡± Angelica was speechless by the situation and thought, ¡°What kind of enmity did the umbrella Corporation have with Alice that they would not let go of her?¡± Angelica continued and said, ¡°Fortunately, it¡¯s just a game. We will definitely have a chance to get revenge!¡± ¡°Cheer up!¡± Angelica cutely clenched her little fist and waved it hard, but she accidentally lost her balance and fell. [Haha! Host, stop being funny. You want to go against Umbrella Corporation all by yourself?] [I can feel that Umbrella Corporation will soon rule the earth in the game world!] [Get rid of your fear! It¡¯s a waste for Angelica to control Alice!] A cheerful atmosphere suddenly filled the live stream room. Angelica wasn¡¯t angry with such comments. She flipped onto the motorcycle, turned the handle, and continued to drive at full speed. After a while, Angelica realized she had received an unknown signal on her GPS. It was a signal asking for help! Angelica turned on the speaker and heard an old woman crying for help. ¡°Help! We need help! We¡¯re under attack by a group of zombies! Please help us!¡± The viewers immediately started commenting when they heard the old woman¡¯s voice. [It¡¯s a hidden mission!] [Is this a side mission?] [Are there any benefits after completing the quest?] [Host, hurry up and save them! Although it¡¯s a game, we can¡¯t leave them in the lurch!] Even if the viewers didn¡¯t ask her to do so, Angelica would still do it. She was now the savior! After playing the three series of Zombie Apocalypse, Angelica gradually put herself in Alice¡¯s character. ¡°Let¡¯s go! How dare those damn zombies to kill humans! I¡¯ll show them what I¡¯m capable of!¡± After confirming the old woman¡¯s location, Angelica changed direction and sped toward the target location. ¡°It seems to be a motel¡­ Whatever! Let¡¯s go in and look first to prevent wasting time!¡± Angelica rode her motorcycle around the motel. Then, she took out her weapon and quietly walked through the motel¡¯s door. The motel was extremely dark inside. It took Angelica a while to get used to the darkness before she could look around the motel. However, she soon became puzzled. ¡°Eh? That¡¯s weird. I didn¡¯t come to the wrong place, but why is there not a single zombie here?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t the zombies attacking the survivors? Where did they go?¡± Just as Angelica was puzzled, an old woman suddenly appeared. She should be the person who had asked for help earlier! Meanwhile, someone pressed a knife against Angelica¡¯s throat. At this point, Angelica finally understood the situation. It wasn¡¯t a base for survivors, and no zombies were attacking humans! There were just a group of villains who had lost their morality! The villains set a trap and took advantage of other people¡¯s kindness to kill for money! [Fuck! Does it have to be so close to reality?!] [Although I pity the host¡¯s current situation, such a situation might happen during the apocalypse!] [I believe Zombie Apocalypse III is already above the passing line with this plot alone!] [It¡¯s too real. People in the apocalypse are the most untrustworthy! We can only protect ourselves to survive!] Angelica¡¯s life was in danger. She had no choice but to drop the weapon she was holding and allow the group of people who had just appeared to seize everything she owned. However, it was not the end. Angelica soon noticed a man¡¯s lustful gaze, and her heart skipped a beat. ¡°No way¡­ The game won¡¯t let the players be fucked by the NPCs, right?¡± Angelica looked flustered. After all, she was a girl and had never encountered such a situation. When they saw such a scene, the viewers became enraged. [Fuck! What¡¯s Su Ping trying to do? Is he dissuading female players from playing his games?] [Hey, everyone, please calm down. It¡¯s just a game. Although I know I¡¯m a bit perverted, but¡­] [The brother who just commented! I¡¯m suggesting you be more careful these days. You might be taken away for investigation these days!] [Eww!] [The host won¡¯t be raped publicly by an NPC in the game, right? If not, it will be ridiculous!] Angelica immediately started to think about ways to escape. Although her mind went blank at first, she quickly regained her calm. She believed that Su Ping would never set up such a trap to annoy the players. It even violated the mental health of the players! Therefore, there must be a way to solve danger! Meanwhile, the man¡¯s hand had already touched Angelica¡¯s body, moving his hands up to her thigh, almost reaching her vulva. Suddenly, Angelica remembered that Alice was wearing tough boots. The man had completely let down his guard, thinking she was already at their mercy. The next moment, Angelica lifted her right leg and kicked the man¡¯s head with all her might! Blood spurted out of the man¡¯s mouth as his body fell to the ground. He had then lost all traces of life. He was dead! Angelica had killed the man with one kick! The viewers in the live stream room were also shocked. [Damn, when did the host become so powerful?!] [Those who asked are definitely new viewers. It¡¯s the game character¡¯s strength, not the host¡¯s!] [That¡¯s right. If players can only use their own strengths to play the game, I¡¯m afraid nobody can play it!] Even though Angelica had gotten rid of the perverted man, she was soon surrounded by the survivors with guns since she had no weapons. The pervert Angelica had just killed was the old woman¡¯s son. Her actions angered the group of villains. Soon, they threw Angelica into a collapsed open space in the middle of the building. It seemed that the falling ceiling caused the basement of the building to be visible. Angelica¡¯s hands were tied up, and even if she broke free, she couldn¡¯t get out of there. Suddenly, Angelica heard the roars of two dogs. She turned around and saw two zombie dogs in the cage not far away! The red, rotten zombie dog reminded Angelica of the pack of zombie dogs she had met in the laboratory while playing Zombie Apocalypse I. The dead memories suddenly hit her. The viewers were also getting nervous. This time, could Angelica survive? Chapter 48 - 48 The Retribution to the Villains 48 The Retribution to the Villains With the command of the vicious old woman, two zombie dogs rushed out of the cage and pounced on Angelica! ¡°Aah! Don¡¯t come over! Go away!¡± Actually, Angelica wasn¡¯t afraid of the zombies in the game, but she was in deep fear when she saw the zombie dogs! Hence, when she saw such a scene, Angelica screamed in horror. She struggled to get up and fled for her life. However, the zombie dog was moving fast, and the basement was too small. Hence, there wasn¡¯t much space for the dogs to move. [Host! Stop running! You can¡¯t continue running aimlessly and wasting your energy! Otherwise, you will be caught by the zombie dogs after you run out of energy!] [That¡¯s right. It¡¯s obviously a battle stage. Angelica must gather her courage to defeat these zombie dogs to survive!] [Host, stop running! It¡¯s alright! It¡¯s just two zombie dogs! You can definitely beat them with your and Alice¡¯s strength!] Maybe it was because Angelica got a grip, or the comments reminded her. Angelica finally stopped panicking and started to look around. Suddenly, Angelica realized she would reach a wall if she ran another ten meters. Hence, she came up with a plan. Angelica ran to the wall at full speed. Afterward, countless viewers were shocked to see Angelica do a backflip with the wall in front of her. However, the two zombie dogs just ran toward the wall and slammed into it, which made them dizzy. Using the opportunity, Angelica used her two legs to clamp one of the zombie dogs tightly and twisted its head hard! With a cracking sound, the zombie dog was dead. Then, Angelica did the same thing and killed the second zombie dog! Finally, the crisis was over, and Angelica heaved a sigh of relief. However, she didn¡¯t let her guard down. Instead, she found a sharp iron piece on the ground and cut the rope tying her hand with it! The viewers expressed their shock in the comment section. [Damn, is she still the Angelica I know?] [Where¡¯s the technical team? Hurry up and let the host do a urinalysis! She must have consumed something illegal!] [Why is the host so brave today? I¡¯m starting to suspect that you¡¯re cheating!] [She¡¯s too cool! Especially the backflip on the wall was so hard to accomplish. It¡¯s like a scene from a kung-fu movie!] Meanwhile, Angelica didn¡¯t have the time or mood to interact with the viewers. It was because the battle wasn¡¯t over. The old woman who stayed on the first floor saw that Angelica had killed the zombie dogs and was utterly overwhelmed by anger. Once again, she ordered people to open more cages! Hence, three more zombie dogs rushed out. Fortunately, Angelica had broken free from the rope tying her hands! ¡°What the heck! Again, fighting with zombie dogs?! Su Ping, why are you so obsessed with zombie dogs?!¡± Angelica said gloomily and ran away. [What should we do? We can¡¯t just go on like this. What if there were more zombie dogs locked in the basement? Would we never be able to get past this?] [Host, think of another way. I think you need to clear the stage with your wits!] [That¡¯s right! Host, you have to find a way to get back to the first floor. Moreover, you must get rid of that old woman and all the villains to clear the game!] Angelica was deep in thought when she saw the comments. Therefore, she didn¡¯t rush to kill the zombie dogs. Instead, she observed the surroundings while running. The cables hanging down from the load-bearing pillars suddenly caught Angelica¡¯s attention! She looked at the zombie dogs chasing after her and devised a plan. Angelica thought, ¡°Since there is a big hole in the ceiling, it means that the structure of the building is not stable anymore!¡± ¡°Perhaps, I can use the three zombie dogs to drag the ceiling down and find a way to climb up!¡± Angelica grabbed a few cables as she ran and pretended to run away to confuse the villains. Soon, she ran a few rounds around the load-bearing column and wrapped the cable around the zombie dog! The zombie dogs continued to pounce on Angelica when everything was done, but they could no longer break free from the cables! More importantly, the three zombie dogs were all tied to a pillar! The zombie dogs lacked intelligence and could only hunt by nature. Hence, they couldn¡¯t untie the cable tying them and kept pouncing forward. The zombie dogs were powerful, and the pillar became unstable after a few seconds. ¡°Boom!¡± The load-bearing pillar was broken, causing the ceiling and a few people to fall into the basement because the ceiling lost its support! Angelica immediately took advantage of the chaos to escape. She grabbed a cable and swung it hard to reach the slanted roof. Then, she stepped on the tilted roof and returned to the first floor! Meanwhile, the zombie dogs broke free from the cables and pounced on the people nearby, including the culprit, the evilest old woman! Soon, the building was filled with people¡¯s miserable screams and the sound of zombie dogs biting them. Angelica found the equipment that the villains had previously stolen from her. While the zombie dog was distracted by the villains, she found all her equipment and took other weapons and ammunition. Then she immediately left the building! Taking in the fresh air outside, Angelica finally left the damn motel! Recalling everything that had just happened, she couldn¡¯t help but feel a little scared. She finally cleared the stage safely! After clearing the stage, Angelica decided to pause the game for the time being. She needed to take a break. The previous battle had used up most of her physical strength. Although she didn¡¯t move her body in reality, the mental consumption was real. Meanwhile, the viewers once again expressed their shock in the comment section. Everyone who watched the live stream, whether they were Angelica¡¯s fans or the viewers, was shocked when they saw Angelica¡¯s actions! [Shit! Did the host consume drugs? How can she be so powerful?!] [What the heck? The host cleared the stage so quickly? I was looking forward to seeing her being bitten to death by the zombie dogs!] [Oh my goodness! I¡¯m afraid there aren¡¯t many gaming streamers that can compare to the host¡¯s current strength!] [Angelica, as your fan for ten years, I¡¯m delighted to see your growth!] [I just watched Mikuya¡¯s live stream. Compared to Angelica, the situation is like heaven and earth. I can¡¯t even bear to look at Mikuya being miserable!] [Haha! Same for PDD! Those zombie dogs have tortured him to death!] Chapter 49 - 49 The Cold Blooded Dr. Birkin 49 The Cold Blooded Dr. Birkin ¡°I hope everyone can enjoy the live stream rationally. Please don¡¯t spread the situation of my live stream in other streamers¡¯ live stream rooms. After all, this is an official challenge. Everyone should just play on their own!¡± When Angelica saw the increment in the number of views and some comments that could easily cause criticism¡­ Angelica immediately reminded the viewers and asked the moderators to delete all the extreme comments and ban their accounts. After that, the comments in the live stream room became much more rational. Angelica began to interact with the viewers while resting. After a short ten minutes of rest, Angelica felt that she had almost recovered. ¡°Alright! Others might surpass my progress if I rested any longer. So, let¡¯s continue the game!¡± After Angelica finished speaking, she put on her equipment and returned to the game! Soon, it was evening in the game. It wasn¡¯t long before it was already evening in the game. Angelica was still looking for survivors everywhere and the base that had appeared at the beginning of the game. Angelica received another signal from the survivors but was much more cautious now. However, after listening to the signal for a while, Angelica at once thought the radio¡¯s voice was familiar. ¡°Hey, does anyone feel like the voice on the radio seems familiar?¡± While looking at the viewers¡¯ commented question marks, Angelica reminded them. ¡°It¡¯s not the character in Zombie Apocalypse III, but in the previous games. The person who speaks seems to be an NPC from the previous games!¡± After listening to Angelica¡¯s words, the viewers who had played Zombie Apocalypse I and Zombie Apocalypse II immediately understood the situation. [Is it Claire? It sounds like Claire¡¯s voice?] [Claire is still alive?] [Then let¡¯s quickly go and meet up with them! After all, it¡¯s much easier to finish the tasks with the help of teammates¡­] Angelica was naturally willing to accept the viewer¡¯s suggestions, so she continued her journey. When Angelica passed by a gas station, she went into it to search for supplies. She found a notebook in one of the rooms. It seemed to have been left behind by a survivor, and many places were written on it. On one of the pages, Angelica found a map. ¡°Alaska?¡± The previous notebook owner wrote beside the map, ¡°Alaska is the only place which the virus hasn¡¯t infected! There are still many survivors living there! As long as I can get there, I will be able to rebuild civilization!¡± The contents of the notebook shocked Angelica. ¡°Alaska? It¡¯s possible, though. After all, it¡¯s the northernmost part of the continent. The temperature is too low inside the Arctic Circle, and it¡¯s difficult for the virus to survive!¡± The viewers expressed their confusion in the comments. [Where does the game want players to go?] [Is it the base that appeared at the beginning of the game or Alaska? Where should we go?] [I think we better go to the base since Alaska is too far away. Moreover, where can we find a plane? We still need to refuel the aircraft after we find it!] [Will it be possible for the game wants the players to choose one out of two? As long as one of the goals is completed, the game can be considered cleared! After that, we can restart the game to complete another goal!] [Since it¡¯s a challenge, players should complete both goals, right?] Angelica kept looking at the comments, but she couldn¡¯t decide immediately. ¡°Everyone¡¯s right, so let¡¯s take it one step at a time. I believe that the game will give me some guidance!¡± ¡°Trust in Su Ping!¡± As soon as Angelica finished her words, the topic of discussion in the comments changed. [Aww!] [Host, you¡¯re completely in love with Su Ping!] [Boo-hoo! My dear Angelica, how could you be taken by that bastard Su Ping!] Angelica saw the teasing comments and blushed when she thought that Su Ping might be watching the live stream too! Soon, it was nighttime in the game. The night of the apocalypse was perilous. In addition, the world was undergoing desertification, which increased the stark contrast in temperature between day and night. It was not suitable to travel at night! Hence, Angelica chose to sleep. Anyway, as long as she slept, the time in the game would flow faster, and it wouldn¡¯t be long for the sun to rise. Unless Angelica encountered danger, she wouldn¡¯t wake up in the game. However, Angelica realized that she had automatically entered a plot after she fell asleep! It seemed to be a laboratory. Soon, Dr. Birkin appeared, and the purpose of the laboratory was revealed. [Dr. Birkin? Is this the underground laboratory of Umbrella Corporation?] [I think so? I think this is the place we¡¯re looking for!] [Why did the game suddenly show a plot? Eh? What¡¯s Dr. Birkin holding?] Everyone saw Dr. Birkin holding a syringe in his hand, and he walked into a glass room with two researchers behind him. It turned out that a zombie was locked inside! In front of the zombie was a table with some props and toys. Looking at the scene, Angelica said thoughtfully. ¡°Do you guys remember Dr. Birkin¡¯s experiment that was mentioned at the beginning of the plot?¡± The comments immediately responded. [Oh! It¡¯s the research on controlling zombies, right?] [Did Dr. Birkin succeed? Don¡¯t tell me that the syringe he¡¯s holding is the sample from the virus?] [I can¡¯t believe that Dr. Birkin can do it!] The plot was still progressing. Dr. Birkin injected all the liquid after inserting the needle into the zombie¡¯s body. The zombie¡¯s eyes turned black after that, and its eyeballs appeared much more normal than the pale white color they had before. [Eh? The zombie seems to be much calmer!] [That¡¯s right! I feel that the zombie is quite well-behaved and cute!] [Eww! You have such a ¡°unique¡± taste. How can you think that zombies are well-behaved and obedient?] [Look! Dr. Birkin is about to start the test!] Everyone¡¯s attention, including Angelica¡¯s, was closely drawn to it. Dr. Birkin picked up a flip phone and handed it to the zombie. It turned out that the zombie found the right way to use the phone. It even put the phone to its ear and pretended to make a call! Then, the zombie took a camera from the doctor, aimed it at the two researchers next to him, and pressed the shutter. ¡°Crack! Crack! Crack!¡± Everyone thought, ¡°Zombies even know how to take pictures?¡± For the last test, Dr. Birkin pushed a child¡¯s toy in front of the zombie. The zombie was very calm. He deftly aligned the toys on the table one by one and stuffed them into the plastic cage! After the three tests, the viewers stopped commenting in the live stream room. Everyone was stunned by the zombie who had regained its intelligence! Dr. Birkin seemed to have succeeded! Chapter 50 - 50 Superpower Activated, Meeting Carlos Again 50 Superpower Activated, Meeting Carlos Again However, the viewers¡¯ shock didn¡¯t last long. Someone suddenly sent a comment. [Look! There¡¯s something wrong with the zombie!] Upon seeing the comment, Angelica also stared at the zombie. Sure enough, Dr. Birkin also noticed it and began to retreat slowly. ¡°Whoosh!¡± The intelligent and quiet zombie suddenly lost control and broke free from the iron lock on the table. The situation took a sharp turn for the worse. However, the first person to notice the problem, Dr. Birkin, ran out of the room and immediately closed the door! However, there were still two researchers inside who had yet to come out! The zombie immediately pounced on one of the researchers, and the other researcher was lying on the door and begging Dr. Birkin to open the door. However, he didn¡¯t get Dr. Birkin¡¯s pity. Ultimately, the experiment failed, and two unlucky researchers became Dr. Birkin¡¯s victims! The viewers immediately commented with righteous indignation. [What a despicable person! How could Dr. Birkin do this? The researchers are two humans!] [He had the chance to save one of them, but he chose to stand by and do nothing!] [I must admit the characters and the apocalyptic world created by Su Ping are so close to reality!] [People living in the apocalypse are extremely selfish. The game has perfectly demonstrated the dark side of human nature!] [I¡¯m impressed! Even if the game costs ten times higher than its current price, it¡¯s worth it!] Finally, the plot ended. Everyone was in a heavy mood. Although the plot temporarily put the question of whether Dr. Birkin¡¯s experiment would succeed or not to an end. However, the viewers didn¡¯t care about it at the moment. They were more focused on discussing human nature in the apocalypse. They also discussed if the apocalypse happened, would the survivors become as selfish as Dr. Birkin and the evil old woman? The scene changed again. This time, Alice¡¯s body appeared on the screen. It turned out the sleeping Alice had a superpower. She could levitate everything on the ground in the air with her mind! Including the motorcycle! However, as soon as Angelica regained control of Alice¡¯s body, she instantly lost her power! ¡°Bang!¡± The motorcycle Angelica had ridden across the desert fell to the ground and broke into pieces! The situation entertained the viewers, especially when they saw Angelica¡¯s hopeless expression. The viewers ridiculed Angelica to have retribution. [Haha! I¡¯m dying of laughter. The host has just finished watching the plot, and now she is punished by Su Ping!] [Although it¡¯s not a murder mystery plot, it¡¯s Su Ping who deliberately destroyed the motorcycle!] [As expected, we can always believe in Su Ping¡¯s repulsive addiction. He¡¯s doing it on purpose!] [From now on, the host can only walk on her journey. Why don¡¯t we restart the game? Otherwise, how long will it take to walk through such a big desert?] Angelica wasn¡¯t in the mood to pay attention to the comments. She planned to have a good conversation with Su Ping after the live stream was over! She wanted to advise him to quit displaying his repulsive addiction! Meanwhile, Su Ping sneezed. He had turned off the live stream and was about to take a rest. Su Ping rubbed his nose and felt confused. ¡°Who¡¯s scolding me?¡± In the live stream, Angelica had packed up everything that could still be used and continued on her journey. After walking for a while, the sun had risen. The flow of time in the game would change according to what the player was doing. At the same time, the distance players walked would also be proportional to the time to reduce the meaningless time consumption in the game. It would be impossible to complete the game if the time in the game matched reality! Angelica would have to spend years walking through the western desert if the time in the game matched reality! It was impossible to do it! Moreover, no player could accept such a setting. As Angelica walked, she suddenly saw a large pile of black objects hovering in the sky. Angelica was shocked after she took her binoculars to take a look. ¡°Why are there so many crows in the sky? What¡¯s happening?¡± As there were too many crows, Angelica was not sure if she would be able to survive if they discovered her. However, the viewers would not consider her safety. [Another hidden mission¡­] [It¡¯s definitely a side quest. The host could even unlock an achievement!] [Host, if you don¡¯t go over to have a look, I¡¯m going to unsubscribe you!] Angelica finally gave in to the situation after being urged by the viewers. After all, she relied on the number of views in the live stream room to make a living. As for the game-clearing challenge, she could only put it on hold. Angelica quickly ran to the area where the crows were and came to a dune. At that time, she found out that there was a camp in front of them! Meanwhile, the campsite was surrounded by thousands of crows. [There¡¯s someone inside!] [It seems to be the survivor¡¯s base. Wait¡­ These crows are all zombie crows! Look at their eyes! They don¡¯t have pupils!] [Host, hurry up and save them!] Even if the viewers didn¡¯t remind her, Angelica knew what she had to do. She immediately ran down the dune and tried to save as many people as possible. Meanwhile, Angelica saw a man crawl to a flamethrower and pull the trigger. Then, flames were racing toward the crows. However, the man was soon drowned by the crows. At the same time, he couldn¡¯t control the flamethrower, and it started to spin aimlessly! On the other hand, a tall man was saving a lonely child in an open space not far from Angelica. He was about to be accidentally injured by the flamethrower while saving the child! There was no doubt that his physical body would be unable to survive the flames of the flamethrower. Angelica remembered the superpowers her body had used the night before at a critical juncture. ¡°I can do it too!¡± Angelica kept encouraging herself. However, she had no idea how to use her superpowers. Angelica experienced a burst of energy radiating from her body, which she thought might have been caused by the fact that she had used her talent and potential in a time of need. Instantly, behind the man and the child, a transparent shield appeared to shield them from the blazing flames. The man looked at Angelica in shock. Meanwhile, Angelica and the viewers in the live stream room were also shocked to see the man. [It¡¯s Carlos!] [It¡¯s Carlos, who escaped Raccoon City with Alice in Zombie Apocalypse II! He¡¯s still alive!] [Haha! What a coincidence! It must be their destiny!] [I¡¯m touched. Although I know Su Ping did it on purpose, I can¡¯t help but cry.] [Finally, we can see Carlos again!] Chapter 51 - 51 Is There a Bug in the Game? 51 Is There a Bug in the Game? Then, the plot entered a relatively peaceful stage. Alice was made to sit down and converse with the campers about earlier events under Angelica¡¯s control. As Angelica spoke, she took out the notebook she had found at the gas station and told them that the virus might not have infected Alaska. It caused the campers to be extremely shocked. In the end, everyone unanimously decided to believe in Angelica and find a way to go to Alaska. However, as Alaska was too far away, they couldn¡¯t afford the trip with their current supplies, so they decided to go to Las Vegas to find fuel first. Angelica took advantage of her free time while sitting in the car during the game. She temporarily switched her view and interacted with the live-stream viewers. ¡°I feel like the game has gone beyond the category of science fiction and is a bit into the fantasy category. Does anyone else have the same feeling?¡± ¡°Especially just now, I even used superpowers!¡± After listening to Angelica¡¯s words, the live-stream viewers also agreed. [That¡¯s right! Zombies can barely be considered in the category of science fiction, but superpowers are indeed a bit of nonsense.] [Isn¡¯t that good? It might be a special ability that Su Ping added to make it easier for us to clear the game!] [Me too! I think the superpower is a great idea. After all, it¡¯s just a game. The previous games in the Zombie Apocalypse series have always been difficult for people to play. The process of clearing the game is too torturous!] [There are pros and cons. It¡¯s a game anyway, so it doesn¡¯t matter.] The viewers¡¯ opinions could be divided into three groups. Some supported superpowers, some opposed it, and some remained neutral, which was within Angelica¡¯s expectations. Even if Alice had a superpower in the game, the player could choose whether to use the ability. Those who liked to challenge the great difficulty could clear the game without using superpowers. Soon, the sand-covered Las Vegas appeared in Angelica¡¯s sight. Angelica was shocked to see the casino city completely covered in yellow sand. ¡°Oh my God! Is this Las Vegas? I can¡¯t even recognize this place!¡± Other than Angelica, the viewers were also discussing the city¡¯s scenery. [I didn¡¯t expect the desertification of this world to be even more serious than I thought. The entire city has been submerged in yellow sand. It is ridiculous!] [Su Ping did pay a lot of attention to the details in the scene design. It¡¯s very realistic!] [I¡¯ve never seen a Las Vegas like this before. It feels apocalyptic.] [Haha! I live in Las Vegas. It¡¯s pretty interesting to see the place I live in to become like this.] The viewers were all discussing the city in the comments. In the game, Angelica and the others had already entered the city to find a gas station. At this time, Angelica became very relaxed, as did the other team members. After all, nobody could be seen in the city covered with yellow sand. They believed the zombies had probably been buried under the thick sand. ¡°I feel like I¡¯m on vacation. I think Su Ping is doing a good job in this aspect. Even a novice player can have fun with the game.¡± ¡°These players can worry-free from the pressure of clearing the game. They can just start an adventure freely in the game. It¡¯s absolutely no problem to play it as a sightseeing game!¡± Angelica and the survivors continued to travel deeper into the city. Meanwhile, a container on the side of the road attracted the team¡¯s attention. They thought, ¡°Since the container is sealed, would there be some usable supplies inside?¡± Claire and the others were about to open the container to see what was inside. However, Angelica suddenly had a bad feeling. She stared at the container in front of her and spoke indifferently. ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with the container!¡± She sensed danger and asked everyone to retreat. ¡°Crack!¡± Suddenly, everyone heard a loud crack. Automatically, one side of the container opened and fell to the ground, causing sand and dust to splash. It was pitch black inside the container, and nobody could see what was inside. Suddenly, a roar came from the container. It was the roar of zombies! The container was filled with zombies! Many zombies immediately rushed out of the container without allowing the survivors a chance to retreat. The zombies rushed madly at the survivors! The battle happened too suddenly, and even Angelica had not been prepared for the fight. Hence, She could only fight in a hurry. When seeing the situation, the viewers immediately burst into laughter. [Haha! I knew Su Ping¡¯s game wouldn¡¯t be that simple! How would he let the players go on a relaxing sightseeing tour!] [That¡¯s more like it. Su Ping, I know you will let the players participate in the battle from time to time!] [Did you guys notice that these zombies are fiercer than the ordinary ones? They are stronger in both speed and combat power!] [Finally, I¡¯m not the only one who noticed this. These zombies look like they¡¯ve been strengthened, and they¡¯re all wearing the same uniform. Could it be¡­] Meanwhile, many viewers watching the live stream realized that these zombies were likely related to Dr. Birkin. It was because the viewers saw the zombies seemed to be wearing similar uniforms in the previous plot where Dr. Birkin had done his test in the underground laboratory. Angelica roasted the situation as she fought. ¡°Is Dr. Birkin crazy? Why does he keep bugging me?¡± ¡°I just want to lead everyone to survive in this world!¡± Angelica was extremely resentful about the situation and displayed her terrifying, mighty combat power. She had continuously killed many enhanced zombies by herself. However, many survivors were injured or even killed due to the sheer number of zombies. As the battle became even tenser, Angelica suddenly realized that her body could not move. However, the battle wasn¡¯t over yet. The zombies were still wreaking havoc everywhere! ¡°Eh? What¡¯s going on? Why can¡¯t I move?¡± Angelica had no idea what was going on. She was still in the game, and she was not disconnected, but she could not control Alice¡¯s body to fight! ¡°What¡¯s going on? Is this a bug in the game?¡± Meanwhile, the viewers were all confused by the sudden situation, just like Angelica. None of them had played Zombie Apocalypse III before, so they had no idea about the cause of the situation. Some viewers even suggested Angelica contact Su Ping to solve the bug. Chapter 52 - 52 Amazing Superpowers 52 Amazing Superpowers Just as Angelica was at her wits¡¯ end about the sudden situation, she suddenly realized something. Angelica immediately looked up at the sky as if her gaze had crossed tens of thousands of kilometers to see a satellite in synchronous orbit above her head. Meanwhile, Angelica suddenly thought of a plot shown before the game officially started. After Alice, the character she was playing, escaped Raccoon City, the plane crashed in a mountainous area outside Raccoon City. Afterward, she was caught by Dr. Birkin for some experiments! Could it be that Dr. Birkin put something into Alice¡¯s body to control her through the Umbrella Corporation¡¯s satellites back then? Angelica did not care about Alice¡¯s body for the time being. Instead, she focused her mind on activating her superpower. She focused all her thoughts on the satellite in space! She directly destroyed the satellite¡¯s control chip! It turned out that it was the way to solve the problem! The next moment, Angelica found herself regaining control of Alice¡¯s body. Meanwhile, two zombies came from behind Angelica and wanted to sneak attack her. But now that she was back in control of Alice¡¯s body, she used the knives in her hands to slay the two zombies efficiently. Although Angelica had returned to normal, the viewers didn¡¯t know how she had done it. [What¡¯s going on? Why can she suddenly move again?] [Privilege! The host definitely has a privilege! Su Ping must have given her some special rights so that she could regain her ability to move!] [Host, aren¡¯t you ashamed to clear the game in such a way?] [Host, I didn¡¯t know you were such a person. Are you affected by Su Ping?] After taking care of the zombies, Angelica glanced at the comments and was speechless. She quickly explained. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. I don¡¯t have any game privileges. The plot set up the situation that just occurred, and the game has no bugs.¡± ¡°Does everyone still remember the plot animation before the game started?¡± Afterward, Angelica temporarily paused the game and explained how she had found a way to solve the problem. After the viewers listened to Angelica¡¯s explanation, they were shocked by her meticulous thinking. [Damn! It can even be done in such a way?] [What a fate-changing superpower! It can burn the satellite control chip from tens of thousands of kilometers away. Is this reasonable?] [Fuck! The Zombie Apocalypse series is getting more and more outrageous. I can¡¯t even imagine what Zombie Apocalypse IV will look like. It won¡¯t turn into a fight between gods, right?] [When will Su Ping release Zombie Apocalypse IV? I can¡¯t wait to experience the game!] The comments started to go off-topic. When most players hadn¡¯t even cleared Zombie Apocalypse III, the comments began discussing Zombie Apocalypse IV. Angelica didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that the players really loved the series of games. Angelica was happy for Su Ping as well. Su Ping must have played a vital role in making her live stream successful! If it weren¡¯t for the Zombie Apocalypse series, Angelica would probably still be a live streamer with a few subscribers. She would never be able to dominate the live-streaming industry and build a sizable subscriber base. In the past, Angelica would never have dared to dream of such an achievement. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going back to the game.¡± ¡°How dare that detestable Dr. Birkin dares to plot against me! I¡¯m going to catch him and ruthlessly ravage him!¡± Angelica growled. She felt desperate and helpless when she lost control of her body. She had never thought she would have such intense disgust toward an NPC in a game. After killing the zombies in her path, Angelica found a passage to the top of the building right away. According to her speculations, the person controlling the zombies to attack the survivors should be hiding on the top floor. As expected, when Angelica arrived on the top floor, she heard the roar of a helicopter¡¯s rotor. Some of the Umbrella Corporation¡¯s security guards tried to stop her, but they were all killed by Angelica in an instant. Since Angelica had superpowers, these ordinary soldiers were as weak as little chicks to her. They couldn¡¯t endanger her life at all. They were a bunch of people whom Angelica could easily kill with a simple move of her fingers. The viewers were stunned by Angelica as she surpassed every challenge along the way with a victorious attitude. But unfortunately, when Angelica entered the tent, she found that Dr. Birkin had already left. When she found the helicopter, it had already taken off. Angelica picked up the weapon in her hand and aimed at the slowly rising helicopter that was going to leave, but she didn¡¯t pull the trigger. Her actions made the viewers in the live stream room confused. [Host, what¡¯s wrong? Why are you suddenly stunned? Shoot them!] [Host, please don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve fallen for Dr. Birkin and turned your hatred into love?] [Why didn¡¯t you shoot? Why did you let the big boss go?] [Sigh, hesitation will lead to defeat! The ancient people indeed didn¡¯t lie to me!] [Hey! The one who just commented, when did the ancient people say such a thing?] When Angelica looked at the comments filled with doubt and suspicion, she immediately explained the situation. ¡°I deliberately let Dr. Birkin go, although I damn wanted to kill him.¡± ¡°Did you guys forget our goal? Our current goal is to go to Alaska, right? Which do you think is faster, driving or taking a plane?¡± The viewers finally understood the situation after hearing Angelica¡¯s explanation. It turned out that Angelica had been organizing things in advance! [I see! You want to keep the helicopter! It turns out the game can be played in such a way!] [It¡¯s expected from the host. Everyone who had misunderstood the host just now, apologize immediately!] With the misunderstanding cleared up, Angelica returned to Dr. Birkin¡¯s tent. It seemed that they left in a hurry since there was still a lot of equipment here that had yet to be taken away. The laptop that could connect to the underground laboratory of the Umbrella Corporation was still there. Angelica quickly located the helicopter that had just escaped through the computer. ¡°I found it! The laboratory that the helicopter returned to should be the other target we¡¯re looking for! The underground laboratory of Umbrella Corporation!¡± Angelica said excitedly. She felt that she was very close to clearing Zombie Apocalypse III! Angelica was confident that she could clear the game if she made it to the laboratory and completed the final challenge. Although Angelica was clueless about the stage where the other players were, she believed she might be the first to complete the challenge! Chapter 53 - 53 The Murder Mystery Plot and Carloss Death 53 The Murder Mystery Plot and Carlos¡¯s Death [Is it finally going to end? I really want to know what the host¡¯s brain is made of. The progress is too fast!] [I just watched Mikuya¡¯s live stream. She hasn¡¯t even arrived in Las Vegas yet. Her progress is far behind the host¡¯s.] [PDD¡¯s progress is plodding too! This guy is indeed a coward. The plot¡¯s progress is plodding!] [Don¡¯t tell me the host is really going to be the champion of the challenge?] [Haha! Su Ping would never have thought that the champion of his challenge would be Angelica. I wonder what kind of gift he will prepare.] [Aww! Is this the token of love between the host and Su Ping? Hehehe!] [Since you mention it, I¡¯m not sleepy anymore!] Angelica looked at the ridicule in the comments and seemed to realize something, her face slightly blushing. When the viewers saw Angelica blush, the comments immediately became more lively. The live stream room was immersed in a cheerful atmosphere. After Angelica found the landing spot for the helicopter, she naturally had to lead the remaining survivors to Umbrella Corporation¡¯s laboratory. If they could get the helicopter, they could go to Alaska! Soon, they drove and arrived outside the laboratory, and Angelica finally saw the familiar scene. It was the laboratory that had appeared in the plot animation before the game started. It was exactly the same as the scene in the plot animation. It was surrounded by barbed wire, and tens of thousands of zombies were outside. In such a situation, a car couldn¡¯t force its way in even if it drove at full speed. Although the zombies¡¯ bodies couldn¡¯t withstand the impact of the car, there were too many zombies there! If the car tried to force its way in, the zombies¡¯ bodies would pile up in front of it. It would produce tremendous friction, causing the vehicle not to have enough power to move forward. Ultimately, they would be blocked by the zombie horde and die. The most urgent problem that needed to be solved was to open up a path! However, at this moment, Carlos stood up. Carlos pointed at his arm, which had become a bloody mess. The zombie had infected him. [Oh my goodness! When did Carlos get bitten? I didn¡¯t even notice it!] [Damn you, Su Ping! How could you let Carlos be infected?] [It¡¯s a murder mystery plot! With Carlos¡¯s strength, how could he be infected so easily?] [I feel so bad. After watching the host¡¯s challenge, I decided not to play this game. I can¡¯t stand this kind of plot!] [Is anyone want to form a team and send razor blades to Su Ping?] [Wake up! We don¡¯t even know where Su Ping lives!] [Damn it!] The viewers expressed their dissatisfaction with Su Ping in the comments. Carlos had always been the perfect teammate. Although Carlos was just an NPC in the game, most players still saw him as a living person. Everyone treated him as a person who had emotions and a personality! However, the person who had accompanied the players for two games was about to leave. As for the players, they had to use the path that Carlos had opened up with his own life to complete the game! Many players sincerely wanted to refuse to complete the game with Carlos¡¯s sacrifice! However, they need to do it to clear the stage. Moreover, it was a murder mystery plot. The zombie virus had already been infecting Carlos for a long time. Hence, even injecting the anti-virus serum couldn¡¯t save him! In Carlos¡¯s last moments, Angelica and Carlos spent some time alone. Angelica was shocked that she was reluctant to part with an NPC. The viewers felt the same. However, all good things must come to an end, and the operation soon began. ¡°I¡¯m leaving. You guys must follow me. I¡¯ll open the way for you!¡± Carlos smiled and got in the tank car in front of him. Claire and the others had already filled the car with fuel, which they had looted from other vehicles. After the battle in Las Vegas, the number of survivors drastically decreased, so they naturally didn¡¯t need too many cars to fetch people. The engine roared, and a tank truck and a Jeep rushed toward the zombie crowd. The scene brought everyone intense visual stimulation. Even Angelica, who had played all three games in the Zombie Apocalypse series, was amazed. It was as if it were no longer a Zombie Apocalypse series game but a racing game. Carlos accelerated the tank truck in front of everyone. He slammed the gas pedal all the way down and crashed into the zombies. On the other hand, Angelica drove behind the tank truck, keeping a certain distance. Finally, when the tank truck was about to reach the laboratory¡¯s barbed wire, the pile of zombie bodies in front of them finally reached a certain limit. Some zombie bodies were rolled under the wheels, causing the tank truck to lose its balance and flip over. After sliding, the tank truck finally fell among the zombies. Angelica just looked at the tank truck quietly. After a few seconds¡­ ¡°Bang!¡± The tank car exploded, and the terrifying heat and shock waves spread everywhere. Although there was a certain distance between Angelica and the tank car, she could feel the hot air about to burn her hair. After seeing the scene, the live stream was immersed in a sad atmosphere. Everyone knew that Carlos, who had accompanied them for a long time and had always been a reliable teammate, had finally left forever. [Boo-hoo! It¡¯s heartbreaking! Su Ping! Why did you treat him like this?] [Carlos is the real man in this game!] [Although I¡¯m a man, I would definitely fall in love with such a man in real life!] [Who wouldn¡¯t like a man like him? He always provides a great sense of security!] [I hope Su Ping knows what¡¯s good for him and stops torturing the players with this kind of plot again! Otherwise, we¡¯ll find your address and send you the razor blades!] [Support! Let¡¯s unite and make Su Ping afraid of us! Otherwise, he would definitely come up with more similar plots to torture people in the future due to his repulsive addiction!] Meanwhile, Angelica looked a little sad. ¡°Sigh, everyone, please play the game rationally. Although I¡¯m also very reluctant to part ways with Carlos, it¡¯s better not to do anything too extreme.¡± ¡°Alright, we¡¯re finally entering the laboratory!¡± With Carlos¡¯s sacrifice, the explosion opened up an unimpeded path for them. Angelica quickly drove the survivors through the barbed wire and entered the laboratory. Soon, they found the helicopter that had previously flown away. ¡°Alaska, we¡¯re coming!¡± Chapter 54 - 54 Revenge 54 Revenge Claire, Matt, and the others boarded the helicopter, and the rotor began to spin rapidly. However, just as Angelica was about to board the helicopter, she suddenly looked back. Then she let go of her hand and stepped back. It was clear that she had given up on board the helicopter. [What¡¯s wrong with the host? Isn¡¯t the game cleared after boarding the helicopter to Alaska?] [Host, what are you hesitating for? The zombie will come if you hesitate!] The viewers in the live stream room were puzzled. They didn¡¯t know what was wrong with Angelica. She had never been such indecisive. Angelica explained, ¡°I can go to Alaska anytime. But now, there¡¯s only one chance to kill Dr. Birkin!¡± ¡°Do you think I should go to Alaska or enter the underground laboratory to kill Dr. Birkin?¡± When the viewers heard Angelica¡¯s words, they were enlightened by the situation. [I see! Of course, we¡¯ll choose to kill Dr. Birkin!] [I support the host¡¯s moral decision. If it weren¡¯t for the bastard Dr. Birkin, Carlos wouldn¡¯t have been bitten by zombies, and he wouldn¡¯t have died!] [Fuck Alaska! Let¡¯s get rid of Dr. Birkin first!] [Host, you¡¯ve finally made the right choice. I¡¯ll belittle you if you simply flee!] The comments were instantly filled with righteous indignation, and the viewers cheered for Angelica¡¯s decision. Everyone supported Angelica¡¯s decision to enter the underground laboratory to kill Dr. Birkin. Therefore, Angelica immediately made a decision. She explained the situation to Claire and the others on the helicopter and even gave them the notebook she had found earlier as a souvenir. Afterward, she took a few steps back and watched as Claire and the others took off on the helicopter. Although she had given up on the easier way to clear the game, which might even cause her to lose the title as the first person to clear the game and fail the challenge, she still insisted on giving up. However, Angelica had no regrets. Although Zombie Apocalypse III was just a game, the immersive experience equipment of the era was too realistic. In addition, Su Ping put a lot of effort into creating the characters. Hence, Angelica couldn¡¯t treat the characters in the game as NPCs. It was the same for the viewers watching the live stream. They weren¡¯t just NPCs but companions who went on adventures with them! They were all lively people! With the help of the information revealed at the beginning of the game, Angelica quickly found the disgusting ditch. She also saw Alices¡¯ corpses lying inside. Even though she had seen the scene from the plot animation, it still made Angelica¡¯s hair stand on end when she saw it again. ¡°To be honest, I can¡¯t imagine what mental state Su Ping was in when creating the plot.¡± ¡°A normal person won¡¯t be able to create such a scene, right?¡± ¡°Do you guys think that Su Ping has some perverted thoughts in his mind?¡± As Angelica walked towards the cabin, she shared her thoughts with the viewers in the live stream room. She didn¡¯t expect her words to gain the viewers¡¯ approval immediately. [Host, you¡¯ve found a blind spot. Now that you¡¯ve mentioned it, I feel that Su Ping is more likely to be a pervert!] [As we all know, many geniuses in the world have mental problems. I think there¡¯s a high possibility that Su Ping is a pervert!] [Haha! I wonder what Su Ping will think if he sees watches the live stream.] [Host, don¡¯t you love Su Ping anymore?] After entering the cabin, Angelica activated some kind of mechanism. A wooden table in front of her opened automatically, and a metal platform appeared. Angelica easily entered Umbrella Corporation¡¯s underground laboratory through the metal platform. However, Angelica found that it was extremely creepy inside. She couldn¡¯t see any Umbrella Corporation employees at all. [Hiss, this place looks so creepy. Speaking of which, is there anyone living in here?] [It¡¯s hard to imagine what kind of environment the employees of the Umbrella Corporation live in every day.] [I suddenly pity the staff of the Umbrella Corporation. It isn¡¯t a place for humans to live at all!] [Has something happened here? That¡¯s why it becomes like this?] The viewers discussed the possible events that happened in the past as they followed Angelica¡¯s perspective. ¡°Something must have happened here. The reason why there¡¯s no one here is probably that everyone is dead!¡± Angelica said indifferently. However, her words sent shivers down everyone¡¯s spine. Suddenly, when she entered one of the laboratories, a beam of white light fell from the ceiling, shocking Angelica. She thought she had triggered a mechanism. However, she quickly calmed down because the white light was a holographic projection. Afterward, a little girl in white clothes appeared in front of Angelica. ¡°The girl seems to be an AI as well. Would each Umbrella Corporation¡¯s underground laboratories have a unique AI?¡± ¡°The girl is in white clothes. Should I call her White Queen?¡± After conversing with the girl, Angelica found out what had happened in the underground laboratory. It turned out that when Dr. Birkin was escaping from Las Vegas, he was unfortunately bitten by a zombie before boarding the helicopter. Moreover, the enhanced zombies Dr. Birkin cultivated had even more powerful viruses. Hence, even though Dr. Birkin kept injecting himself with the anti-virus serum after he returned, he still couldn¡¯t stop the spread of the virus. In the end, although he didn¡¯t lose his self-consciousness, he became a monster. Afterward, Dr. Birkin killed everyone in the underground laboratory, and the White Queen had no choice but to lock him on the lower floor. At the end of the conversation, the White Queen hoped that Angelica could help her kill Dr. Birkin! Angelica had no reason to decline because the request matched the reason she had come into the lab. ¡°I¡¯ll help you open the door in a while. As for the rest, you¡¯ll have to do it by yourself!¡± The White Queen reminded her one last time before she dissipated. Angelica down the hallway to the floor below, as advised by the White Queen. She came to a door that was tightly shut. Dr. Birkin was behind the door. The battle would start after Angelica opened the door. In the battle, only one of them could survive! Angelica¡¯s heart could not help but race when she looked at the thick door in front of her. She wasn¡¯t confident that she could defeat Dr. Birkin, who had become a monster! Chapter 55 - 55 The Future of Mankind 55 The Future of Mankind [It must be the last stage of Zombie Apocalypse III!] [The final battle with the big boss is finally here!] [I think the key to clearing the game is to kill Dr. Birkin! Otherwise, it¡¯ll be useless even if we go to Alaska!] [As expected, I knew we would have to fight the big boss at the end. It¡¯s exactly the same as the previous two games of the Zombie Apocalypse series!] [I want to see what kind of monster the bastard Dr. Birkin has become. Tsk-tsk! He didn¡¯t want to be a good person but wanted to be a monster!] Meanwhile, the viewers in the live stream room were full of anticipation. Everyone was looking forward to watching the final battle. Angelica took a deep breath and turned on the communicator beside her. ¡°You can open the door now!¡± After the White Queen received the order, the green indicator light lit up above the door. Then, the door opened. A damp and musty smell spread from the inside. Angelica turned on her flashlight and walked in vigilantly. Soon, she came to a place that looked like an experiment laboratory and found a clone-planting device! The clone in the nutrient solution was Alice! ¡°It appears that the clone in front of me is comparable to the body I controlled at the start of the game.¡± Angelica looked at the clone that looked exactly the same as Alice in front of her and sighed. The viewers were also shocked. [That¡¯s amazing! The two of them really look the same!] [It seems that Su Ping is also very concerned about cloning. After all, the cloning of human beings is forbidden in reality.] [If a person like Dr. Birkin lived in the civilized world, I¡¯m afraid he¡¯d be wanted all over the world and would have died a long time ago!] Suddenly, Angelica sensed danger. She subconsciously threw the knife at her waist behind her. Sure enough, Dr. Birkin had always been hiding in the dark. When he saw Angelica was a little distracted, he wanted to sneak up on her. However, he didn¡¯t expect Angelica to stab him. Then Dr. Birkin merged back into the darkness and temporarily escaped. [Pfft! That¡¯s all Dr. Birkin can do? I thought he was more powerful!] [Didn¡¯t he become too ugly? But he deserves it!] [Good job, host! Hurry up and chase after Dr. Birkin and destroy him!] The comments urged Angelica to move forward and not let Dr. Birkin go. Angelica would have done the same even without the comments urging her. However, before she moved on, Angelica deactivated the clone-planting device behind her. The clone inside fell to the ground, naked. [Oh my God, is this something I can watch?] [It¡¯s too much. It¡¯s a miracle that it can be officially released!] [Alice¡¯s figure is perfect. Hehe! Hehe!] [Oh no! I think I¡¯m in love!] [You call this love? You¡¯re just taking advantage of her figure!] When Angelica saw the comments getting increasingly off-topic, she quickly took off her coat to cover the naked body of the clone. Then, she continued to walk deeper into the laboratory. Soon, Angelica arrived at a familiar place. The mansion. However, Angelica, who had watched the plot animation at the beginning of the game, knew she was still in the underground laboratory. It was just a room that was modeled after the mansion. Meanwhile, Dr. Birkin suddenly appeared and raised his tentacles to attack Angelica. Angelica was surprised to find that Dr. Birkin¡¯s tentacles could extend and retract infinitely, and he could grow several tentacles on one arm. Angelica had misestimated Dr. Birkin¡¯s strength. Hence, she was disadvantaged from the beginning of the fight and even suffered continuous attacks. Dr. Birkin even beat her to the point where she had no power to fight back. The situation made the viewers anxious. [Host, hurry up and counterattack!] [The host can¡¯t do it anymore? If you can¡¯t kill Dr. Birkin, I will unsubscribe you!] [Host, hurry up, and use your superpowers. You can do it!] Meanwhile, Angelica¡¯s neck was wrapped by Dr. Birkin¡¯s tentacles. At crunch time, Angelica stepped on the floor and made the knife on the floor bounce up. Afterward, she grabbed the knife¡¯s handle dashingly. She waved the knife with all her might and cut off Dr. Birkin¡¯s tentacle. However, Dr. Birkin¡¯s tentacles could not only expand and contract infinitely, but they could also multiply. Soon, his tentacles were all back. Suddenly, Angelica saw the reminder in the comments and remembered that she had superpowers. Angelica stood still and fixed her eyes on Dr. Birkin in front of her. It was as if a transparent wall was in front of her, and Dr. Birkin¡¯s tentacles couldn¡¯t approach her anymore. Afterward, Angelica immediately widened her eyes, and an invisible shock wave rushed toward Dr. Birkin. It turned everything in its way, the floor or the furniture, into ashes. Dr. Birkin was also thrown out. Just when the viewers thought Angelica had finally gained advantages and was about to win the battle¡­ Dr. Birkin got up from the ground again. [No way, he survived?] [The big boss is way too powerful. Host, can you win?] [I can feel Su Ping¡¯s deep repulsive addiction. He¡¯s trying to make Dr. Birkin undefeatable on purpose!] Dr. Birkin glared at Angelica, then suddenly opened his mouth and roared. A terrifying shock wave immediately sent Angelica flying away. She broke through the door behind her and fell into the Laser Hallway. Dr. Birkin immediately followed behind and approached Angelica. He looked down at her. However, Dr. Birkin didn¡¯t make a move. He thought he was absolutely winning and started to be arrogant. The scene instantly entertained the viewers. [Haha! It turns out that all the villains in the world are the same! They like to talk during battle.] [There will definitely be a scene where the tables are flipped! Even if Angelica can¡¯t beat Dr. Birkin, something unexpected will happen!] [Dr. Birkin is going to teach us a lesson soon, ¡°If one doesn¡¯t make a timely strike, he¡¯ll suffer sooner or later!¡±] Angelica looked at Dr. Birkin warily. However, the guy was now making a lengthy declaration. ¡°I used to think that you are the future of humankind, but now I realize I was wrong.¡± ¡°I am the future of mankind!¡± Dr. Birkin became extremely proud, but he had no idea that a laser net was rapidly approaching him from behind! Angelica naturally saw it, but she didn¡¯t show any signs. When Dr. Birkin finally finished his declaration and was about to kill Angelica¡­ The web-like laser pierced through Dr. Birkin¡¯s body. ¡°The future of mankind¡± died so easily. Chapter 56 - 56 The Smart Clone 56 The Smart Clone [Pfft! Haha! Oh, dear Dr. Birkin, you died in such a tragic way. I don¡¯t even dare to look at it!] [The revenge is done. It¡¯s so satisfying. Dr. Birkin is finally being punished!] [Although the host didn¡¯t personally kill Dr. Birkin, I¡¯m delighted with the current situation!] [Haha! I¡¯m postponing sending blades to Su Ping for now!] [But what¡¯s with the laser? Why did it stop in front of the host? I¡¯ve wondered whether it would be considered a pass if the host and Dr. Birkin died together.] Suddenly, the live stream room became lively. When Angelica was caught in a tough battle, there were almost no comments. Everyone was worried about whether Angelica could win the battle. Now, it seems that the game is friendly to players. Players could kill Dr. Birkin if they could hold out for a particular time and lure him into the Laser Hallway. Angelica, who had narrowly avoided death, got to her feet and overcame her feelings of disgust. She bypassed Dr. Birkin¡¯s corpse and returned to the laboratory, where the cultivation fluid was stored. She remembered that she had saved a clone of Alice here. However, when she returned, she couldn¡¯t find the clone. Suddenly, Angelica saw a white light ray in the laboratory¡¯s corner. She immediately became alert and kept approaching. When she got closer, she realized that the white light had come from the computer screen, and the clone was showing on the computer screen! Angelica eventually understood the situation after examining the different data and operating panels displayed on the screen. ¡°So that¡¯s how it happened. The reason why the laser stopped in front of me is all because of the clone!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect my clone to be the one who saved my life in the end!¡± Angelica¡¯s feelings were complicated. The twist was indeed beyond common sense and her expectations. Things were the same as the viewers. [Wow! The clone is so smart. She should have just been born, right? She knows how to use a computer!] [She is very diligent too! Supporting the clone! You must live well in the future!] [The friendship between the original Alice and the clone suddenly touches me.] [If only I could have a clone like her. It would be like having a twin sister.] Angelica looked at the comments and laughed. ¡°Everyone, you can imagine the clone in your mind. After all, it¡¯s a game. Clones can¡¯t exist in reality.¡± ¡°After all, it involves a lot of ethical issues. The question of defining the main body will definitely cause a lot of chaos.¡± ¡°So, don¡¯t take the game too seriously.¡± Following that, Angelica and the clone searched the entire underground laboratory for useful supplies. Angelica found a giant clone-planting factory filled with rows of cultivation fluid! Angelica and all the viewers in the live stream room were shocked by such a scene. After all, it was simply unimaginable in reality. [Umbrella Corporation is such a fucking bastard! I¡¯m afraid all these clones were used for experiments!] [That¡¯s right! They treat the clones as items!] [Do you guys think the clones are related to the plot of Zombie Apocalypse IV? After all, we can¡¯t make so many clones disappear for no reason, right?] [Wow! I¡¯m looking forward to Zombie Apocalypse IV! When exactly is Su Ping going to release it!] As the current game was going to end, the viewers in the live stream room began to discuss the new game¡¯s plot. Meanwhile, Angelica had found the meeting room in the underground laboratory. She saw the communication light in the meeting room constantly flashing as if someone was requesting a call. After accepting the request, people immediately filled the conference table in front of her on both sides, all of whom were holographic projections. Angelica also saw a familiar face among them. It was Wesker! It seemed that the bastard was hosting a meeting. Angelica sneered and said indifferently. ¡°I will take my companions to seek revenge on you. You better wait for it!¡± Angelica hung up the holographic call after her declaration. Meanwhile, Angelica felt that it seemed to be the post-credit scene. In Zombie Apocalypse IV, Angelica foresaw the possibility of using her clone sisters to exact revenge on Wesker. As expected, the words ¡°game cleared¡± appeared in front of Angelica after she finished her actions. Soon, the game ended, and Angelica took off her equipment and returned to reality. Her room was still the same. It was warm, cozy, and filled with various girls¡¯ favorite plush toys. It was in stark contrast to the sinister atmosphere of the Umbrella Corporation¡¯s underground laboratory, making Angelica unable to adjust her condition in time. ¡°Phew! Thank you, everyone, for accompanying me from the beginning to the end to complete Zombie Apocalypse III. Now, let¡¯s see how much time I have spent.¡± ¡°I wonder if I can be the first person to complete the challenge.¡± Angelica looked at the time on the computer screen. The challenge started at 8 p.m., and it was already 11:30 p.m. Soon, it would be midnight. Angelica just realized that three and a half hours had passed. She was so immersed in the game that she had even blurred out the time in reality. She thought the time should be around 10 p.m. but didn¡¯t expect it to be so late. The viewers in the live stream room congratulated Angelica and praised her for her courage after hearing what she had to say. [Not bad, host. You cleared Zombie Apocalypse III in one go and didn¡¯t restart it! It¡¯s too terrifying!] [Host, you are the best gaming genius I¡¯ve ever seen. I¡¯ve seen many professional players in other games who have to restart Zombie Apocalypse III several times to clear it, but you just cleared it in one try!] [The host didn¡¯t even restart the game. She should be the first person to complete the challenge, right? I think there¡¯s a great possibility that the host will be the champion!] [Is there anyone who knows more information? Is there anyone faster than the host?] The live stream room was filled with a joyful atmosphere, and Angelica¡¯s heart was beating fast. Angelica thought, ¡°Did I really have a chance to get Su Ping¡¯s gift?¡± Chapter 57 - 57 The Second Victory for Angelica 57 The Second Victory for Angelica Just as Angelica and the viewers in the live stream room were celebrating¡­ In PDD¡¯s live stream room. Meanwhile, PDD was fighting with the zombies Dr. Birkin had sent to Las Vegas. Since he was a man, he was not used to controlling Alice, a woman¡¯s body. In addition, he had basically never trained his body, so he could not use Alice¡¯s true strength. Due to the many enhanced zombies, the battle became extremely dangerous as soon as it started. There were a few times when the zombies almost bit PDD. Even though Alice¡¯s body could fend off the virus infection, getting bitten by a zombie was excruciating. ¡°Aaa! I can¡¯t stand it anymore! Why are the zombies so powerful?! How can they run so fast and be so powerful?! Is there a bug in the game?¡± Meanwhile, a group of zombies had cornered PDD. When he saw that he was about to be bitten to death by the group of bloody mouths, he finally broke down and yelled without caring about his image. The scene immediately entertained the viewers in the live stream room. Afterward, they mercilessly ridiculed PDD. [Haha! You deserve it!] [I remember someone patting his chest and promising he wouldn¡¯t screw up and would definitely protect the safety of all the survivors when he first entered Las Vegas. Why did he change his words so quickly?] [Host, can you do it? If you can¡¯t, why don¡¯t we change to a game that suits you?] [The host is suitable for playing Kirby¡¯s Adventure. There aren¡¯t many battle segments or horror scenes. Hence, the game suits the host the best.] [No, no, no. The host is the worst at games. Kirby¡¯s Adventure is not friendly to the worst player unless he is prepared to get a star at every level.] [Sigh, Angelica has already cleared the game, but the host is still stuck in Las Vegas surrounded by zombies. How embarrassing!] [What?! Angelica already cleared the stage? She is too fast!] Someone who just watched Angelica¡¯s live stream commented in PDD¡¯s live stream room. It immediately shocked the viewers in PDD¡¯s live stream room. The viewers couldn¡¯t control their curiosity and were ready to go to Angelica¡¯s live stream to find out the situation. [I¡¯m sorry, host, you¡¯re too weak. I¡¯m embarrassed to be your fan. I think I¡¯ll better watch Angelica¡¯s live stream.] [Goodbye, host. Farewell!] Looking at the comments, PDD was stunned and subconsciously blurted out. ¡°Are you guys kidding me? It is only around 11 p.m., and Angelica has already cleared the game?! How is that possible?¡± In the game, PDD had been bitten to death by a group of zombies. Before the zombies bit him, he had tactfully cut off his connection with the game so that he wouldn¡¯t suffer any physical pain. Afterward, he immediately took off his equipment, went to the computer, and entered Angelica¡¯s live stream room. He saw Angelica chatting with her fans in the live stream room. He briefly looked at the comments and found that it was full of congratulatory and praising content. Finally, PDD believed that Angelica had cleared the game! PDD said in shock, ¡°It¡¯s too scary¡­ She cleared the game in less than four hours. Did she clear the game in one go?¡± [Haha! The host looks like he¡¯s never seen the world before. Is it so difficult to do it in one go?] [Sigh, since the host doesn¡¯t have the kind of strength, it¡¯s normal for him to be shocked!] [Host, do you feel like you¡¯re watching a science fiction movie? After all, you¡¯ll never be able to reach Angelica¡¯s level of strength!] The comments ridiculed PDD again, but he could calmly bear the situation. His many years of live streaming had made his endurance extremely strong. He could endure the ridiculed comments from his fans. Other than PDD¡¯s live stream room, the situation in Mikuya or Wesley¡¯s live stream room was similar. The two of them had yet to be able to clear Zombie Apocalypse III, and both of them were stuck at a certain level in the game. For example, Mikuya had not been able to deal with the crows that were flying around in the sky. She had been bitten to death by the crows countless times. The live stream room was filled with her wails and howls. It caused many viewers to fear joining her live stream room, fearing that their families would think they were watching some indecent live broadcast. Wesley was also in a tragic situation. He had already reached the plot of the underground laboratory, but he didn¡¯t dare to face Dr. Birkin. Wesley feared the atmosphere of a horror movie the most. After dawdling for a long time, Angelica became the first person to clear the game. Meanwhile, the viewers in the two live stream rooms announced that Angelica had cleared the game. Similar situations were happening in many other streamers¡¯ live stream rooms. The information quickly spread and was soon known by everyone. Due to the high popularity of Zombie Apocalypse III, many people were still watching the live stream even when it was close to midnight. Tens of thousands of live streamers were streaming Zombie Apocalypse III and actively participating in the challenge that Su Ping had set. However, there was suddenly news that someone had completed the challenge! The news shocked many streamers, and everyone naturally gathered in the champion¡¯s live stream room to pay their respects. Then, everyone was surprised that the champion was Angelica! It caused the popularity of Angelica¡¯s live stream to surge. In less than ten minutes, the number of views had broken through the 500000 mark! Angelica had achieved the standard of a top live streamer to have more than 100000 concurrent views at the peak! There were fewer than 100 streamers to have such an achievement. And now, Angelica¡¯s live stream was five times higher than the standard! Such terrifying popularity was simply unprecedented. It also proved the value of Zombie Apocalypse! Meanwhile, Angelica was also stunned by the situation. She was a little overwhelmed by the sudden influx of people watching her live stream. ¡°Thank you for your subscription and gifts. Please only refresh the webpage occasionally, or it might cause the live stream to lag.¡± Angelica quickly reminded the viewers. Due to the alarming number of concurrent views, the official staff of the live stream platform reminded her to control the situation. The comments in the live stream room were so dense that they almost covered the entire screen. The screen would go black, and no words could be seen clearly if some comments weren¡¯t cleaned up! Looking at the lively scene in the live stream room, Angelica suddenly took out her phone in front of the viewers and opened the communication software. ¡°Please wait a moment. I¡¯ll ask Su Ping for a gift. I¡¯m curious what he¡¯ll give me.¡± Chapter 58 - 58 Su Pings Mysterious Gift 58 Su Ping¡¯s Mysterious Gift On the other side, Su Ping was going to rest. He thought it would be the morning of the next day by the time the first person finished the challenge. The game was adapted from the movie Resident Evil that he watched in his previous life. Su Ping had watched the actual movie. Naturally, he was not interested in the game. Su Ping heard his phone ring when he was about to turn off the lights and go to bed. ¡°Who is it? Who is still sending me a message when it¡¯s late at night!¡± Su Ping mumbled impatiently, but he still took a look at the phone. He only had a few friends left since he was a game producer. If a friend sent him a message but missed it, he might have fewer friends. Su Ping cherished the friends he had made with great difficulty. Su Ping was surprised when he checked his phone. ¡°Eh, Angelica?¡± ¡°What gift are you going to give me? What does it mean? When did I say that I wanted to give her a present?¡± Angelica¡¯s message confused Su Ping since Angelica deliberately didn¡¯t mention anything about clearing the game. She was teasing Su Ping and making her live stream even more entertaining. Su Ping replied. ¡°What gift? What are you talking about?¡± The viewers in the live stream room burst into laughter when they saw the message on Angelica¡¯s chat software. [Haha! Host, you¡¯re like a clown. Su Ping doesn¡¯t understand what you¡¯re saying at all!] [Host, you¡¯re the embarrassed one now. You should have talked nicely from the beginning!] [Su Ping deserves to be single forever!] Angelica smiled and said seriously. ¡°Didn¡¯t you issue a challenge? You¡¯ll give a gift to whoever can complete the challenge first, right?¡± ¡°Are you going back on your word? I¡¯m still live-streaming, and hundreds of thousands of viewers are watching!¡± Su Ping was still in a daze. Initially, he was about to go to sleep, so he was not in his right mind. ¡°What do you mean? I said I wanted to give the champion a gift, but I didn¡¯t say I wanted to give¡­¡± This time, Su Ping realized something before he finished his sentence. He said shockingly. ¡°You can¡¯t be saying that you¡¯re the first person to complete the challenge, right?!¡± Meanwhile, Su Ping was dumbfounded. He had no idea how to describe what he was feeling. It turned out that Angelica was the first person to complete the challenge! Su Ping had never expected it. In the live stream room, Angelica raised her chin arrogantly and adorably when she saw his message. She pouted and sent a voice message. ¡°Hmph! What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?¡± When the viewers saw Angelica acting cute, the comments in the live stream room were in chaos. [Damn! The host is so cute now! She¡¯s just like the super cute little sister who lives next door to me!] [I feel like I¡¯m in love!] [Boo-hoo! Angelica is taken by that bastard Su Ping! The key is that Su Ping still doesn¡¯t realize what¡¯s happening. I¡¯m so angry!] [There¡¯s definitely something going on between the host and Su Ping! Nobody will make such a cute expression to an ordinary friend!] [It¡¯s confirmed. The secret between the host and Su Ping!] Meanwhile, Su Ping didn¡¯t have the time to think about other questions because his brain had crashed. ¡°The champion is Angelica!¡± ¡°What present should I give her?¡± Su Ping came up with the challenge on the spur of the moment. He had never considered what gift to give. Now that Angelica had completed the challenge, the gift choice had a special meaning. Although the two of them were still friends, they could feel their feelings for each other. It was just that the two of them were more reserved and had not confessed. Hence, the gift might be the key to breaking out of the situation! Su Ping¡¯s brain worked at full speed as if he was trying to apply all the knowledge he had learned over the years. ¡°It¡¯s a surprise gift. The effect wouldn¡¯t be as good if I told you beforehand.¡± ¡°So you will know it when you receive the gift. You can open it for yourself.¡± Su Ping came up with a brilliant idea. He thought, ¡°If I didn¡¯t tell her what the gift was, I could keep the surprise!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s drag it out for tonight and then think about the gift tomorrow!¡± On the other side, when Angelica saw Su Ping¡¯s reply, she grinned from ear to ear. ¡°A surprise!¡± ¡°Hehehe¡­¡± Then, Angelica revealed a broad smile on her face, which caused strong protests from the viewers in the live stream room. [Fuck! The host is too shameless! How can you hurt the singleton by showing us such a lovey-dovey look!] [Boo-hoo! This live stream room is not worth my concern! I¡¯m still single, but the host is already taken!] [Host, you¡¯re so cruel!] [Two minutes ago, I was in love. But now, I¡¯m out of love¡­] The comments were filled with wails. Meanwhile, Angelica would naturally not care about the contents of the comments since she was in a good mood. She didn¡¯t care if the viewers would discuss anything that would change the topic of the comments. At the moment, she just wanted herself to be happy. ¡°Alright, everyone, that¡¯s all for today¡¯s live stream. It¡¯s getting late, so please rest early. Good night and sweet dreams.¡± After getting Su Ping¡¯s promise, Angelica was no longer in the mood to continue her live stream. All she wanted to do now was to have a good sleep. Su Ping¡¯s gift may be at her door when she woke up the next day. Ignoring the protests of the comments, Angelica decisively clicked to end the live stream. As the live stream room turned dark, no matter how angry the comments were, they could no longer see Angelica through the camera. [Aah! What a cruel host! Brothers, let¡¯s go and report her!] [Damn it! The host ran away after torturing the singleton! The host has no conscience!] [I¡¯m going to unsubscribe her!] ¡­ Angelica had no idea what was happening in the live stream room. She chatted with Su Ping for a while and went to bed after she learned that Su Ping was going to sleep. The night was destined to be extraordinary. Countless people still participated in the challenge and desperately wanted to be the first to clear Zombie Apocalypse III became clowns. Angelica had taken first place. The news quickly spread all over the internet. As Angelica was already a well-known streamer, people were familiar with her, and the matter naturally caused a sensation on the internet. Angelica¡¯s live broadcast was also posted on major websites for people to watch. Everyone could see how Angelica cleared the stage in one go without dying and successfully killed Dr. Birkin. She had wholly conquered the tens of millions of players in Zombie Apocalypse III with her excellent operations! Angelica once again became famous in one battle! Chapter 59 - 59 Thoughts on the New Game 59 Thoughts on the New Game As the Zombie Apocalypse III challenge ended, Su Ping started to think about his new game on the second day, apart from thinking about what kind of gift he should give Angelica. The Zombie Apocalypse series has already released three games. In his previous life, there were only six Resident Evil movies! In other words, there were three more Zombie Apocalypse series games left. After they were all released, making new games with the IP would be difficult. Therefore, Su Ping needed to find another IP right now to continue developing popular games to increase his popularity and earn more money. ¡°Which movie should I choose¡­¡± Su Ping was in a dilemma. Many good movies were popular in his previous life. But in addition to the movie¡¯s quality, he also needed it to be simpler so that the system could turn it into a game. The most important thing was that the game had to be fun! Su Ping¡¯s mind flashed over the movie titles one by one. Captain America, Hulk, Avengers, and so on¡­ These movies were all popular IPs in his previous life, but Su Ping felt they didn¡¯t fit his style well. ¡°After all, I¡¯m a horror game producer. These movies are quite different from my current style. If I change my style of games all of a sudden, it might arouse suspicion.¡± Even though he had the system, Su Ping didn¡¯t think he could act as he pleased. Su Ping was unfamiliar with this world. He didn¡¯t know what kind of danger would happen. As the saying goes, the wind will destroy the tallest tree in the forest. Su Ping couldn¡¯t be too flamboyant if he wanted to become the evergreen tree. ¡°It¡¯s better to choose a movie with horror or science fiction elements¡­¡± Su Ping continued to go through the movies from his previous life in his mind. Suddenly, a movie appeared in his mind. Although it was not a horror movie, it was an action movie. Moreover, the background of the film was also about the apocalypse! ¡°Got it! The Matrix!¡± ¡°There¡¯s definitely no problem with this movie! It is about the apocalypse and has nothing to do with zombies, so people won¡¯t get tired!¡± ¡°There are also three movies in total. I can make three games with it!¡± Su Ping was overjoyed. The Matrix was his current best choice! ¡°But both Zombie Apocalypse and The Matrix are lengthy¡­ Isn¡¯t it a little inappropriate to create both of them simultaneously?¡± ¡°The Matrix will be fully released simultaneously as Zombie Apocalypse. By then, I still won¡¯t have any new games to release.¡± Suddenly, Su Ping realized that Zombie Apocalypse had only three more divisions left. Meanwhile, The Matrix had only three divisions. Hence, if he chose to produce The Matrix, he would lack games to release. He would have nothing to do after releasing the two games. ¡°It¡¯s better to release a new game before The Matrix¡­¡± After a while, Su Ping came up with another good idea. Although it was also a movie about zombies, compared to Zombie Apocalypse, it only had one episode and was much shorter. It was perfect as a seasoning for Zombie Apocalypse. The most important thing was that the movie was interesting enough. It was the best zombie movie he had watched in his previous life! It was the World War Z! Even now, Su Ping can remember how shocked he was when he first watched the movie. He remembered the terrifying and powerful zombies that ran crazily in the movie. Especially for the parts of Jerusalem being destroyed. It was extremely shocking, and everyone was in awe of the disaster scene. The movie¡¯s final scene, where the lead actor walked out of the zombie crowd alone with a medicine box, was even more classic! Su Ping recalled the battle in World War Z. He couldn¡¯t find other choices that he could be satisfied with. ¡°Alright! The next game will be World War Z!¡± ¡°System, the next movie to be converted is World War Z!¡± Su Ping ordered the system right away. Soon, he heard the system¡¯s voice. ¡°Roger that! The game data has been transferred to your computer. You can use it at any time!¡± The system was still operating at top speed. It took only a moment to finish tens of gigabytes of content. It would likely require a hundred-man team to work for years, even if the largest game development companies in the world were given the workload to produce. Su Ping immediately turned on his computer and entered the familiar folder. There were already four games in the file, the Zombie Apocalypse series and A Quiet Place. Under these four folders, there was another folder called ¡°World War Z!¡± Su Ping checked its attributes and found that the file size was 50 GB! ¡°That¡¯s scary. How could the file size of a game be so big? Fortunately, the technology in this world is slightly more advanced. Otherwise, not many people would be willing to download the game!¡± Su Ping sighed. He opened the folder and got to work. Su Ping had to organize the folder¡¯s contents into an official game installation package as quickly as possible. Su Ping was so busy at work that he didn¡¯t realize that he had forgotten something. Three days later, Su Ping received a message from Angelica. At that time, he slapped his forehead and finally remembered something he had neglected. Angelica had been waiting for Su Ping to contact her. She was looking forward to what Su Ping would give her as a gift. Nevertheless, Su Ping appeared to have disappeared from the planet after their late-night conversation. Angelica didn¡¯t hear anything about him. Angelica thought that Su Ping had gotten into an accident, and she was worried about him. That was why she took the initiative to contact Su Ping. ¡°What have you been up to these days? Why haven¡¯t I heard anything about you?¡± ¡°Did you encounter any trouble?¡± Su Ping was guilty when he read Angelica¡¯s message. Su Ping thought, ¡°She was still thinking about me and worried about me, but I had completely forgotten my promise. How can I do that!¡± Meanwhile, Su Ping immediately replied, ¡°Nothing. I¡¯ve just been busy with work.¡± Angelica was about to ask about the gift when Su Ping continued. ¡°Of course, I¡¯m also considering what gift I should give you. In short, you¡¯ll definitely be satisfied with the gift.¡± ¡°You can choose a time now, and I¡¯ll deliver the gift to you on time. How about it? Maybe it can be a part of your live stream¡¯s content and help you gain more fans!¡± After Angelica saw Su Ping¡¯s reply, her small face blushed slightly. She finally stopped being worried and showed a happy expression. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. As for the gift, you can give it to me when you have time.¡± ¡°I¡¯m already delighted to have a present.¡± Chapter 60 - 60 Doing a Live Stream Together, Is It an Official Announcement? 60 Doing a Live Stream Together, Is It an Official Announcement? ¡°She is such a good woman¡­.¡± It was the only way Su Ping could describe Angelica. Afterward, he kept reminding himself in his heart that he must not forget such an important thing in the future! Luckily, Angelica wasn¡¯t a girl who liked to overthink and make wild guesses. Su Ping felt that he would regret it to death if a misunderstanding between the two of them happened because of his mistake. Meanwhile, the game was more than halfway done. Su Ping was exhausted from working these days continuously. He could use the opportunity to rest and choose a gift for Angelica. In the end, Su Ping decided to give Angelica a special gift. One day later, Angelica received a message from Su Ping. Angelica was shocked to see the message on her social media, but at the same time, she had a slight sense of joy. ¡°Are you serious? You want to come to my house and do a live stream with me?¡± Angelica asked apprehensively, worrying that Su Ping was just joking with her. She was well aware of Su Ping¡¯s influence and the number of fans worldwide. Many people who had never played the Zombie Apocalypse series had heard of Su Ping. Many cloud players who had no time to play games were also Su Ping¡¯s fans! Although they didn¡¯t play Su Ping¡¯s games, it didn¡¯t stop them from loving Su Ping¡¯s games. On the other hand, the highest download record for the Zombie Apocalypse series had broken tens of millions of downloads, and the number of cloud players often exceeded the number of real gamers. Based on the number of downloads, Su Ping might have close to 100 million fans! It was an alarming number. ¡°Of course, I always keep my word. Didn¡¯t I owe you a gift? What do you think of it?¡± ¡°Moreover, I¡¯ll bring a surprise for you when the time comes. I¡¯ll satisfy you and everyone in the live stream room!¡± Su Ping didn¡¯t tell Angelica what the surprise was. Of course, Angelica wouldn¡¯t ask for too much from Su Ping. She was satisfied to be able to do a live stream with Su Ping. Moreover, the two of them had never simultaneously appeared on the same camera. The approval of doing a live stream together actually had an ambiguous intention. Most female streamers avoided the topic of love. Many people would lose a large number of fans once they were in a relationship. Therefore, as a female streamer, Angelica wouldn¡¯t officially admit her love if she didn¡¯t decide to start a relationship or even form a family. ¡°Then choose a time. I¡¯ll give the viewers in the live-stream room a preview in advance. It¡¯ll definitely attract more people to watch the live stream.¡± Angelica couldn¡¯t wait to do the live stream with Su Ping. Su Ping estimated the time and thought, ¡°World War Z will take at least a week to finish¡­.¡± ¡°Although the framework can be completed in four or five days, many details still needed to be polished by then. It¡¯s better to say that it will take two more days.¡± After the estimation, Su Ping said, ¡°Let¡¯s make it a week later. I¡¯ll come to you then. You can give a preview two days in advance in the live stream room.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Angelica said happily. Su Ping nodded and thought, ¡°Finally, the deal is done.¡± Then, Su Ping threw himself back into the game¡¯s production. Meanwhile, Zombie Apocalypse III was still in full swing around the world. Although Su Ping¡¯s challenge had ended, many live streamers were still streaming Zombie Apocalypse III. Some live streamers were trying to increase their fans by trying new things and making their live stream more interesting. Some hardcore streamers were trying to challenge the difficulty! For example, those streamers would set some special rules before the game started, such as restarting the game was prohibited, certain items being banned in use, prohibited the use of superpowers, and so on. The challenge would be successful only by completing the stage while adhering to the rules. Some streamers specialize in playing challenging games and clearing them quickly! The live stream of these streamers was often fascinating to watch. Viewers could watch the streamers avoid all the dangers along the way with their smooth operation and positioning. Viewers could also watch the streamers use a minor price and the fewest resources to trigger the plot quickly! Some streamers were completely familiar with the Zombie Apocalypse and knew how to trigger the following plot. Under normal circumstances, a player would take three to four hours or even longer complete the game. However, these streamers would finish the game in no more than an hour! The explosive popularity of Zombie Apocalypse III provided a job for many people. At the same time, more people were looking forward to Su Ping¡¯s next game. As more and more people experienced Zombie Apocalypse III, people were still discussing it on the internet. However, people were already discussing what Su Ping¡¯s new game would be like in the future. [Do you guys think Su Ping¡¯s next game will be Zombie Apocalypse IV or A Quiet Place II?] [I think it will be Zombie Apocalypse IV! The plot of Zombie Apocalypse III has yet to end. What happened during the last video conference? Su Ping has to give us an explanation, right?] [That¡¯s right! Moreover, the whole world has been desertified by the virus. I¡¯m looking forward to seeing what the world will become in Zombie Apocalypse IV!] [I think the new game will be A Quiet Place II. After all, Su Ping would try to keep the player¡¯s enthusiasm. If Su Ping continued to release the same type of game after another, players might grow tired of it.] [I agree. Although the Zombie Apocalypse series is thrilling, it¡¯s easy to get tired if we keep playing the same type of game.] [Why doesn¡¯t Su Ping develop a new IP? I believe in Su Ping¡¯s abilities. He must be able to create a new game!] [Haha! After all, I¡¯ll play any game Su Ping releases. I¡¯m his die-hard fan!] [I¡¯m also a die-hard fan! I¡¯m proud of being Su Ping¡¯s die-hard fan!] Amid the netizens¡¯ fervent discussions and eager anticipation, five days flew by instantly. That night, Angelica dropped a bombshell in her live-stream room, and the news immediately spread through the gaming community. The news even spread outside the gaming community and instantly became a hot topic on the internet. Everyone knew that Su Ping would come to Angelica¡¯s live stream room two days later. They would do a live stream together and interact with the viewers! Moreover, Su Ping was going to bring a little surprise! As soon as the news was released, it immediately caused countless players to have wild thoughts. Players speculated about Su Ping and Angelica¡¯s interaction and their relationship¡­ People also discussed what kind of surprise Su Ping would bring to the live stream. Therefore, countless players joined Angelica¡¯s live stream to discover what was happening! Chapter 61 - 61 Finally, the Live Stream Started 61 Finally, the Live Stream Started When Angelica announced that Su Ping would be streaming with her two days later, Su Ping found his official social media account flooded with countless private messages at night. Back then, many people liked to private message him through his official social media, hoping to attract the attention of the game producer. However, since everyone knew that Su Ping never read private messages, people gradually stopped to do such a dull thing. But now, as soon as Su Ping logged into his social media account to check the latest news on the internet, he was shocked by the tens of thousands of unread messages. ¡°Damn, are these people crazy? Why are they kept sending me private messages?¡± Initially, Su Ping didn¡¯t like to read private messages. However, since there were too many of them this time, Su Ping couldn¡¯t help but click on them out of curiosity. ¡°Crazy game producer! Tell me what you will do when live streaming with Angelica!¡± ¡°Su Ping, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve already taken Angelica! She¡¯s such a good girl. You¡¯re such a beast!¡± ¡°Su Ping, you have to be good to Angelica. You have to make her happy. Otherwise, I won¡¯t let you go!¡± As soon as Su Ping clicked on it, he was shocked by the first few private messages. He didn¡¯t know how to describe his current mood. ¡°Are these fans crazy? Who did I offend? How can they threaten me in such a way!¡± Although Su Ping was uncomfortable with the threatening messages, he couldn¡¯t hold back his desire to continue reading the private messages for some reason. Soon, he had read over a hundred private messages. Su Ping even suspected that he was masochistic. More than ten minutes later, Su Ping closed the private message segment and returned to the hot search to find out the latest news. One of the most searched topics was Zombie Apocalypse III. It had been almost half a month since Zombie Apocalypse III was officially released. Su Ping was surprised that it was still on the hot search. ¡°It seems that even though the technology here is more advanced, there are no entertaining games for the players to play!¡± ¡°What a tragedy!¡± Su Ping sighed in his heart. He felt he was more responsible for creating fun games for the players, and the heavy responsibility was on his shoulders. ¡°I must create better games so that the players here can take advantage of the immersive experience technology they have and enjoy the joy of the other world!¡± Two days passed by quickly. In the past two days, Angelica¡¯s live stream room was full of viewers every day. During the live stream, people were asking about the live stream with Su Ping two days later almost all the time. However, Angelica had no idea what kind of surprise Su Ping would bring to the live stream. Naturally, she couldn¡¯t answer the viewers¡¯ questions. The two days of suffering finally ended under the expectation of countless people. People had never thought two days, 48 hours, would be long. It felt like every minute and every second was like a year. Finally, it was the weekend. Although Angelica had yet to start her live stream, her live stream room had already exceeded hundreds of thousands of concurrent viewers, and the number was still multiplying! It was higher than the concurrent viewers at the peak of the popularity of many popular live streamers! [Hey! Brothers! You¡¯re all here so early. I thought there were only a few people!] [Of course! Today is the first time Angelica will be doing a live stream with Su Ping. It¡¯s the moment to witness history. How can I miss it?] [Sigh, Su Ping is such a jerk. He took my precious Angelica away easily. I¡¯ll kill him if he¡¯s sleeping at Angelica¡¯s place tonight!] [Stop it! Don¡¯t say it anymore!] [What?! Is Su Ping going to stay at Angelica¡¯s place? Then I¡¯m even more excited as a fan!] [Why are you so interested in being a cuckold? Go away!] Suddenly, the screen of the live stream room lit up, and Angelica¡¯s beautiful and delicate face appeared. The viewers that were quarreling just now instantly unified and commented. [Honey!] [My dear Angelica, you¡¯re finally here. I¡¯ve missed you after not seeing you for a day!] [Host, where¡¯s that heartless Su Ping? Drag him out, and let us torture him!] [Su Ping, stop hiding. Get out from under the table!] Looking at the numerous comments, Angelica started with business as usual. ¡°Everyone, welcome to my live stream. This is Angelica¡¯s live stream room. If you¡¯re interested in the content of my live stream, you can subscribe to me by clicking the button in the upper right corner. I love you.¡± Angelica even put on an adorable heart-shaped smile after she finished speaking. The viewers who had watched Angelica live stream for a long time were used to her habits, and nobody cared what kind of expression Angelica would make. They just cared about when Su Ping would show up! ¡°Alright, alright. Everyone, please calm down. I¡¯ve already sent Su Ping a message. He should be on his way here now. He¡¯ll be here soon!¡± The live stream went on as usual. Since Angelica didn¡¯t know when Su Ping would arrive, she didn¡¯t turn on the game. She just chatted with the viewers and discussed the following plot of the game. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Angelica and the countless viewers in the live stream room were instantly distracted by it. [Su Ping is here!] [He¡¯s finally here. I will report him if he hasn¡¯t shown up!] [Sigh, I don¡¯t know why, but I¡¯m feeling both happy and sad right now. Sigh.] [Although I¡¯m a fan of the Zombie Apocalypse series, I still have to say that the pig has eaten all the good cabbage!] The viewers in the live stream room were all weeping in the comments. Soon, there was the sound of the door opening outside the room. Afterward, Su Ping, wearing slippers and taking off his coat, followed Angelica to the front of the camera. ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m Su Ping, the producer of the Zombie Apocalypse series and A Quiet Place.¡± ¡°I think everyone knows who I am by this point, so I won¡¯t go into too much detail about myself.¡± Su Ping greeted the camera with a smile. He had never done a live stream before, so he found the experience very interesting. However, he never expected that so many disdainful comments would immediately appear. [Go away! Nobody likes men here!] [Guest, can you please sit to the side? You¡¯re blocking me from watching the host!] [Crazy game producer, I¡¯ll send you some knife blades!] The live stream room was buzzing with excitement as Angelica threw a serious glance at Su Ping. Angelica asked, ¡°Su Ping, where¡¯s the gift you promised me? Did you prepare it? Don¡¯t tell me you forgot to bring it!¡± Chapter 62 - 62 He Gives a Girl Such a Gift?! 62 He Gives a Girl Such a Gift?! As soon as Angelica finished her words, everyone in the live stream room fixed their eyes on the screen to see Su Ping. By now, everyone knew that Su Ping had issued a challenge. The first person who cleared Zombie Apocalypse III would be the winner and receive a mysterious gift from Su Ping. Angelica was the one who completed the challenge! However, Su Ping hadn¡¯t given Angelica a present until today. It had been a hot topic in the live stream room recently. The viewers would discuss what Su Ping would give Angelica in the comments every day. Of course, Su Ping¡¯s gift was simply a symbol of love in the eyes of the viewers. Su Ping took something out of his pocket and slowly held it in his palm while he saw the eagerness in Angelica¡¯s eyes. No one else could see what it was. ¡°You¡¯re so annoying. You¡¯re giving me a gift, but you¡¯re still hiding it. Hurry up and let me see it!¡± Angelica pouted. She couldn¡¯t wait to reach out to Su Ping¡¯s right hand. Angelica¡¯s little face blushed slightly when their hands touched. She realized that she had been a little too impatient. However, Su Ping didn¡¯t make things difficult for her and let go of his right hand. Everyone saw a small, delicate USB drive lying on his palm. The comments were in chaos when they saw the USB drive in Su Ping¡¯s hand. [What¡¯s going on? Isn¡¯t Su Ping going to give Angelica a gift? How did it end up as a USB drive?] [Su Ping, are you kidding me? You¡¯re giving a girl a USB drive as a present?] [I thought I was already a straight man. But when I met Su Ping, I realized I was actually a scumbag!] [Respect!] [Forgive me, I can¡¯t take it anymore, but this is too funny. It¡¯s rare to see someone giving a girl a USB drive as a present!] [Honey, don¡¯t be angry. We don¡¯t want such a tedious man. You should come back to me!] The comments were filled with disdainful and mocking comments. Even Angelica was stunned when she saw the USB drive in Su Ping¡¯s hand. She couldn¡¯t react for a moment. Then, Angelica tried to cover up her embarrassment jokingly, ¡°Su Ping, did you take the wrong gift because you came here in such a hurry?¡± Angelica was unwilling to believe that Su Ping would really give her a USB drive as a gift. However, Su Ping¡¯s following actions completely shattered all her hopes. Su Ping shook his head and denied Angelica¡¯s speculation. ¡°No, this is the gift I wanted to give you!¡± ¡°This is a great gift. Don¡¯t you like it?¡± As soon as he finished his words, the comments went crazy. Countless viewers were attacking Su Ping in the comments. No matter how good he was at producing games, Su Ping was no different from a scumbag in the eyes of the viewers! Wasn¡¯t he bullying Angelica?! [You¡¯re giving Angelica a USB when she¡¯s been waiting for the gift for almost a month?] [Su Ping, do you still have a conscience? I suspect that you did it on purpose!] [If you hurt Angelica¡¯s heart, I¡¯ll find you no matter where you are and teach you a lesson!] Angelica looked at Su Ping. She was disappointed but still controlled her emotions and didn¡¯t show it. She cutely rubbed her nose and pretended to be calm. ¡°Of course I like it. I like all the gifts you give me.¡± Countless viewers watching the live stream in front of their computer screens burst into tears when they heard Angelica¡¯s words. [Boo-hoo! Why? Am I worse than Su Ping?] [Why is the world so unfair? Why can¡¯t I meet such a good girl?] [What a sin!] Su Ping realized he might have overdone it as he stared into Angelica¡¯s slightly reddish eyes. In fact, the present he gave Angelica was not a USB drive but something else. He just wanted to tease her after he came. However, it had become an awkward situation. Even though Angelica said she liked the present, Su Ping could almost hear the sound of her heart breaking. Su Ping immediately stuffed the USB drive into Angelica¡¯s hand and wrapped his right hand around Angelica¡¯s little hand so that she could hold the USB drive tightly. Afterward, he said softly, ¡°Actually, the gift I¡¯m giving you is inside the USB drive. Hurry up and insert it into your computer and see what it is. You¡¯ll definitely like it!¡± ¡°And the gift is definitely one of a kind in the world!¡± After hearing it, Angelica¡¯s eyes finally lit up again. ¡°Really? I¡¯m the only one in the world who can have the gift?¡± Su Ping nodded. ¡°Well, if I¡¯m not satisfied with your gift, I¡¯ll drive you out of my house!¡± Su Ping smiled and spoke confidently. ¡°Then I¡¯ll thank you in advance for taking me in, Miss Angelica.¡± Angelica blushed at Su Ping¡¯s shameless words. She glared at Su Ping and then plugged the USB into the computer. Soon, a new folder appeared on the desktop, and Angelica excitedly clicked and opened it. There was a document inside, and when Angelica saw the document¡¯s name, she was instantly stunned. At the bottom of the document was ¡°World War Z.¡± ¡°What is this? Is this the gift you¡¯re giving me?¡± Angelica said with a perplexed look on her face. She had no idea what the gift was. Angelica thought, ¡°World War Z?¡± ¡°This is the first time I heard of this name.¡± Besides Angelica, the viewers in the live stream room were also puzzled. [World War Z? What¡¯s that? Is it a new movie?] [Have any of you heard of it?] [No, it¡¯s my first time hearing about it. What the heck is this? How can it be a gift for girls?] Just as everyone was confused and had no idea about it, Su Ping¡¯s following words were like a nuclear bomb that exploded the entire live stream room. Everyone could feel their ears buzzing. ¡°It¡¯s a game. It¡¯s a new game that I¡¯ve just made.¡± Everyone in the live stream room, including Angelica, had their minds blank after the three brief sentences. It was Su Ping¡¯s new game! It turned out to be Su Ping¡¯s new game! At that moment, Angelica finally understood why Su Ping seemed to have disappeared from the earth in the past two weeks! Angelica finally understood why Su Ping always appeared busy and had no time to chat with her. And the reason Su Ping waited until today to give the gift! It turned out that he had been working hard for the past half a month to complete his new game! World War Z! Chapter 63 - 63 The New Game, World War Z 63 The New Game, World War Z The six short words gave the players wild imaginations. It was because Su Ping was the one who had created the game! Global gamers and netizens agreed that any games created by Su Ping must be of the highest caliber! Su Ping would never let the players down! Hence, they had come to a consensus again this time. [World War Z? Why does it sound like a game based on the theme of the Zombie Apocalypse? Will the plot be related to Zombie Apocalypse?] [It should be called Zombie Apocalypse IV if it is related to the Zombie Apocalypse. However, it has a different name. I think it¡¯s another plot!] [I hope World War Z will be a brand new story so that it¡¯ll be more interesting!] [Why doesn¡¯t anyone think Su Ping is repeatedly creating games without adding new content? We are tired enough to play another game like Zombie Apocalypse!] When the live stream room viewers learned that Su Ping had a new game, they immediately started to discuss it. On the other hand, Angelica was still immersed in the surprise that Su Ping had created. Angelica thought that it was the perfect gift for her. Although Angelica was a girl, unlike many other girls, she had loved to play games since she was young. The birthday present she wanted the most was not a doll or a pretty dress, but a game console! As a result, Angelica was often teased by her parents as if they were raising a boy when she was young. On the other hand, Angelica didn¡¯t care about their mocking because she truly loved video games. Hence, when Angelica grew up and could make her own choices, she became a gaming streamer without hesitation! Therefore, World War Z was definitely a big surprise for Angelica. Her happiness was no less than receiving a game console as a gift from her parents when she was young. ¡°Is¡­ Is this the game you give me as a gift?!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve been working on this game for the past half month?¡± Angelica asked excitedly, and her voice seemed to be trembling slightly. ¡°I already completed most of the work for this game long ago,¡± Su Ping said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve been going over the details for the past half month to ensure the game is perfect, so I don¡¯t have any regrets.¡± ¡°How is it? Do you like this gift?¡± Looking at the smile on Su Ping¡¯s face, Angelica wished she could hug and kiss him on the cheek. No, she wanted to kiss his lips! After having such a thought, Angelica¡¯s delicate face immediately blushed. ¡°I¡­ I like it.¡± When the live stream room viewers saw the two flirting as if no one was around, they immediately expressed their anxiety in the comments. [Aah! The morals of the world are declining by the day!] [Oh my goodness! Society is getting worse day by day!] [Fuck! I shouldn¡¯t have joined this live stream room. It¡¯s like tricking singletons into the live stream and torturing them! Are you not going to consider the feelings of us singletons?] [Boo-hoo! I want to cry!] The live stream room was filled with wails and howls, even though Angelica and Su Ping hadn¡¯t officially confessed their feelings for each other. However, everyone could tell that the two in the live stream were clearly in love with each other. They were just too reserved to confess their feelings for each other. After a while, the two returned to normal and began to prepare for the following live stream content. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave the rest of the time to you since you¡¯re the host. I¡¯ll accompany you and watch you play games.¡± Su Ping smiled and said. He even patted Angelica¡¯s head, which made her blush. ¡°Sure, just tell me if you want to play the game. I want to watch you play too.¡± Angelica said shyly. Afterward, she opened the folder named ¡°World War Z,¡± found the installation package, and started to install the game! Everyone in the live stream room held their breath with anticipation in their hearts. Meanwhile, the viewers had forgotten that Su Ping had stolen their favorite girl. In the end, the only thing left in the players¡¯ minds was the game World War Z. The time needed to install the game was extremely long, even though only a few minutes had passed. The moment the World War Z icon appeared on the desktop, the live stream room was filled with the viewers¡¯ cheerful comments. [It¡¯s finally installed. Hurry up and open it!] [I¡¯m looking forward to seeing what the new game is like!] [Tonight, Angelica¡¯s live stream should be the global premiere of the game, right? The game didn¡¯t even receive any publicity. We are the first to watch it in the live stream room!] [It must be a piece of breaking news! It¡¯ll be on the main page of the gaming news tomorrow!] As Angelica prepared to launch World War Z and become the first person in the world to play the game¡­ Meanwhile, the news immediately spread from Angelica¡¯s live stream room. It immediately shocked the netizens, and they spread the news even further to every corner of the internet. [Su Ping has a new game. It¡¯s called World War Z!] [Are you kidding me? Su Ping hasn¡¯t made any updates for half a month. How could he make a new game? If he does, he should have promoted it in advance. Besides, how can he make a new game in half a month!] [Do you think we¡¯re stupid shits? I¡¯m not yet done with my Zombie Apocalypse III, so don¡¯t cause a fuss!] [It¡¯s true! If you don¡¯t believe me, you can join Angelica¡¯s live stream room to take a look. Angelica has finished installing the game and is ready to play it.] [Besides, this game is a gift from Su Ping to Angelica. That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t tell us anything in advance. Why would I lie to you?!] Although some players didn¡¯t believe the news, many people couldn¡¯t hold back their curiosity and joined Angelica¡¯s live stream room. In the end, many people¡¯s hearts briefly stopped when they witnessed the game World War Z. Afterward, they would continue to spread the news while being shocked. The news spread from mouth to mouth, and the number of people who knew of the news multiplied. It had been less than ten minutes since Angelica opened the folder on the USB drive and saw the game. During that time, the number of concurrent viewers in Angelica¡¯s live stream room multiplied by at least ten times! It had reached 3 million viewers! The figure was equivalent to the number of people online simultaneously in all of the platform¡¯s live stream rooms during off-peak hours! The record was unprecedented and unbreakable! Chapter 64 - 64 The 3 Million Concurrent Viewers 64 The 3 Million Concurrent Viewers ¡°Fuck! The bastard Su Ping has released a new game! It¡¯s in Angelica¡¯s live-stream room! Everyone, hurry up and join the live stream room!¡± ¡°World War Z! The game deserves your attention!¡± ¡°It¡¯s so terrifying. Angelica might have set a historical record. The number of concurrent viewers in her live stream room has broken three million!¡± ¡°Su Ping is a good man! He created a new game just to give it as a gift to a girl! I¡¯m envious!¡± Soon, most of the major forums on the internet were filled with posts discussing the live stream. Meanwhile, World War Z had also successfully made it to the hot search list, and its popularity even approached first place! If any celebrity paid to be on the hot list tonight, they would almost certainly be kicked off and cry while asking for a refund. Nobody could compete with the popularity of Su Ping¡¯s new game in the gaming industry! On the other side, in Angelica¡¯s live stream room. Angelica had opened World War Z. ¡°Su Ping, does the plot of your new game have anything to do with Zombie Apocalypse? Tell me a little bit in advance.¡± While waiting for the game to load, Angelica asked curiously. The viewers in the live stream room also wondered about it. Angelica was asking on behalf of the viewers. Since Angelica was the one who asked the question, Su Ping reluctantly had to agree to it. ¡°Of course, I can tell you this game has nothing to do with Zombie Apocalypse!¡± ¡°Although the monsters in the two games are zombies, there is a huge difference!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t give you any further information now. When the game starts, you will soon discover the difference between the two types of zombies!¡± Upon hearing his answer, Angelica nodded and focused on the game. The viewers, on the other hand, started discussing excitedly. [It¡¯s a brand new worldview. I¡¯m looking forward to it!] [Haha! That¡¯s great! It has nothing to do with Zombie Apocalypse! To be honest, I¡¯ll get sick of it if we keep playing Zombie Apocalypse!] [We¡¯ll get sick of any game if we play it repeatedly. It¡¯s nice to change a game that Su Ping did for us.] [Why hasn¡¯t the game started yet? How long do we have to wait?] [Don¡¯t worry, don¡¯t worry. Don¡¯t you see that the progress bar is almost finished loading?] Finally, two minutes later, a light flashed on the screen. World War Z had officially begun! Although World War Z and Zombie Apocalypse had nothing to do with each other, there was a connection between the two games that Su Ping had made. After all, it was a game created by the system. Of course, the players didn¡¯t know about it. When she entered the game, it began with an opening plot animation, as usual. However, the atmosphere of the plot animation in World War Z wasn¡¯t as gloomy as the one in Zombie Apocalypse. Instead, it was an unprecedented method of using the news media to make the players watch it as if they were watching TV, creating a relaxed and happy atmosphere. It made the players forget that they were playing a zombie open-world game! At the beginning of the animation, people learned from news reports that many strange and abnormal incidents had recently happened in the game world. For example, dolphins were stranded in mass on a certain beach somewhere in the world. Avian influenza had once again started to break out in a certain city in a certain country. People started to argue about the topic of the apocalypse and predicted that the world might face the end of the world! From the news media¡¯s perspective, players could vaguely sense that there was a mastermind behind the bizarre incidents. At a certain point in the future, a catastrophic event could strike the earth in the strangest way. After the news broadcast, Angelica officially started her game. This time, Angelica realized that the character was no longer a female but a tall and robust male. According to the information displayed on the character panel, the man¡¯s name was Peter. He was a retired Navy soldier who had participated in numerous difficult missions on various fronts. Later, due to an injury, he retired and returned to his home country to start his own family. ¡°It looks like our character is a very successful man. It¡¯s my first time controlling a man¡¯s body in such a realistic game. Hehe! It feels so exciting!¡± Angelica was very excited, and the comments were all ridiculing her. [Host, calm down! Su Ping is watching you!] [I suddenly feel like the host is a pervert, but I like it!] [Host, please don¡¯t do anything weird in the game!] Suddenly, a task window appeared in Angelica¡¯s field of vision. ¡°It¡¯s a sunny day today. Why don¡¯t you bring your wife and children to the city and have a good weekend?¡± Angelica said as soon as she saw the message. ¡°It seems that this is our current mission. Let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°I want to see what the city in this game looks like! It seems that the zombie apocalypse hasn¡¯t broken out yet.¡± ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve seen an ordinary city in the Apocalypse series. In the Apocalypse series, the cities are wastelands.¡± After breakfast, Angelica soon drove the car and set off for the city with her wife and two children. Everything seemed so smooth and perfect, and Angelica didn¡¯t even feel anything related to the world¡¯s end. The game had been going on for a while. However, Angelica hadn¡¯t seen a single zombie despite that! [Did Su Ping make a mistake? Why doesn¡¯t it look like an apocalypse game? It looks like a playhouse game!] [I agree. Su Ping seems to have created a lot of games. Maybe he brought a playhouse game.] [Let¡¯s wait and see. Su Ping wouldn¡¯t make such a fundamental mistake.] Everyone in the live stream room, including Angelica, was confused and had no idea about the game¡¯s genre. After the game had been going on for so long, everyone wondered why they hadn¡¯t felt any danger. After entering the city, Angelica and her family¡¯s car was soon stuck in the middle of the road. There were countless cars in front of and behind them, and they couldn¡¯t see the end. The repeated beeping of the horn caused many to get unusually agitated. [Damn! The traffic jam scene is too realistic. It looks the same as the road traffic during the morning and evening rush hour near my house!] [Haha! Although I¡¯m a little disappointed that I haven¡¯t seen any zombies yet, I must admit that Su Ping¡¯s games are always so close to reality!] [No matter what, I give the traffic jam scene ten out of ten!] However, a loud bang shocked everyone in the live stream room the next moment, and Angelica even screamed. Chapter 65 - 65 Different Zombies 65 Different Zombies ¡°Aah!¡± ¡°What the hell is that!¡± Angelica was still in shock when the comments reminded her. It seemed that a car had just crashed, and at the same time, there was an explosion in the middle of the road a few hundred meters away. The bright firelight made people feel uneasy. Something had happened! The viewers immediately realized that the game was about to enter the main topic! Angelica also immediately put away her relaxed mood, clenched the steering wheel, and looked at the surroundings. Meanwhile, a police officer on a motorcycle passed by, and Angelica quickly stopped him and asked. ¡°What¡¯s happening in front? Is there something happened?¡± After listening to Angelica¡¯s question, the police officer couldn¡¯t explain it clearly in a few words. As the police officer wanted to explain the situation¡­ A black shadow rushed past Angelica¡¯s car, and the police officer who was talking to her just now was directly hit and sent flying. Afterward, he was run over by the other cars. Angelica was shocked that her hair stood on end! Something had happened, and it was very likely that they were in a race against time! Angelica stuck her head out of the window. An RV had just charged forward and opened up a path beside her. Hence, Angelica immediately turned the steering wheel and left the heavy traffic on the road that the RV had driven out. After driving for a while, Angelica realized that the entire street was chaotic. Especially outside a park in front of them, people were running wildly everywhere. Countless people were simultaneously screaming and running in the same direction, like a group of escapees. Behind these escapees, some humanoid creatures would suddenly pounce on them. Once they pounced on them, they would madly bite them until their prey died. The cruel and bloody scene made countless viewers in the live stream room exclaim in excitement. Some timid ones had even covered their eyes and didn¡¯t dare to watch. Angelica was stunned by the situation. However, a car going sideways knocked her car over due to her brief moment of distraction. The car had somersaulted and flipped numerous times in the sky before it finally hit the ground. Meanwhile, Angelica only felt dizzy, and her head was buzzing. However, it wasn¡¯t the time for her to rest. The zombies that were crazily chasing after the humans were almost here! [Host! Get up and run for your lives! The zombies are running too fast. If you don¡¯t run, you¡¯ll die!] [Eh? These zombies are so strange. How can they run so fast? It is completely different from the slow and stiff zombies I remember!] [The zombies in this game are too strong. It¡¯s so exciting!] The swift and agile zombies in World War Z fundamentally changed the players¡¯ cognition, shocking them as if they had discovered a new world. Soon, Angelica endured the dizziness in her head and got up from the ground. Since Angelica had to place her family in first place in World War Z, she would naturally not give up on them. Otherwise, she would immediately fail the game. After a Herculean effort, Angelica finally managed to get her wife and two children out of the car. Just as Angelica had no idea where to run, she suddenly saw an RV not far from her, and the RV¡¯s door was open! The car¡¯s owner was nowhere to be found, and it seemed like he had fled for his life. ¡°Quick, let¡¯s go to that car! We¡¯ll drive away from this city!¡± Angelica quickly ran to the RV with her family. She turned back as she was taking her child to the RV and suddenly noticed a person who a zombie had just attacked. The zombies left after mauling the person to death, but Angelica didn¡¯t look away. Meanwhile, she suddenly heard the counting sound and immediately recognized that it seemed to come from the toy in her younger daughter¡¯s hand! ¡°Six!¡± ¡°Seven!¡± As the counting continued, the corpses lying on the ground in the distance began to tremble strangely! ¡°Eight, nine!¡± The corpses began to writhe and convulse violently on the ground. They even contorted and snapped their body in many directions in an uncomfortable manner, which looked extremely horrifying! ¡°Ten, eleven!¡± The man that a zombie had just killed stood up from the ground in the eleventh second. Although he was still in a strange posture, he could move! ¡°Twelve!¡± At the 12th second, the zombie suddenly looked up at the sky. Afterward, the zombie turned its head to search for prey around it and pounced at its prey! The transformation was complete! When Angelica saw the scene, she silently remembered the number ¡°12¡± in her heart! It seemed that it would take 12 seconds for the zombie virus to infect a human body completely! Then, Angelica quickly boarded the RV and prepared to leave with her family. However, soon after they started driving, a zombie jumped on the car from the side of the road, seized the shattered glass, and frantically began drilling into the car. As Angelica controlled the steering wheel, she kicked the zombie¡¯s head fiercely. It took her a Herculean effort to finally kick it out of the car. The city was quickly falling, and Angelica witnessed countless people being pounced on by zombies from behind and then transformed into new zombies! Angelica had played three Zombie Apocalypse in a row. Hence, she could be considered a player with better resistance to the horror of zombies. However, the beginning of World War Z had already put Angelica in deep fear and sorrow. Angelica was uncomfortable with the helpless feeling of watching people die. The RV eventually left the city and traveled to the suburbs, where there were fewer people, before stopping alongside the road, thanks to Angelica¡¯s excellent driving skills. It was only then that Angelica finally had time to catch her breath. From the start of the crisis until now, it had only been more than half an hour. However, Angelica felt as if half a year had passed. Recalling the terrifying scene when the zombie crisis broke out in the city made people shudder. ¡°Phew! We¡¯ve finally escaped. We should have completed the first stage of this game!¡± Angelica temporarily stopped the game since she needed to take a break. She had a vague feeling that the game¡¯s difficulty was completely different than the Zombie Apocalypse series! She had the impression that clearing World War Z would require much effort! Moreover, she had to be mentally prepared in advance. Those zombies that could run extremely fast and had terrific strength were much more dangerous than zombies! Chapter 66 - 66 There Are Still Many Kind People in the World 66 There Are Still Many Kind People in the World Good leisure time was always short. Just as Angelica was looking at the map and preparing to choose her next destination¡­ Her daughter¡¯s asthma suddenly acted up. Initially, she had such an illness. In addition to being frightened during the escape, the symptoms acted up. Angelica quickly rummaged through the first aid kit in the car. She found that there was only one medicine left for asthma. In other words, after her daughter finished the bottle of medicine, there would be no more medicine for her to use if it acted up again. ¡°What should I do now? If the family NPC in the game dies, will it count as my failure to clear the game?¡± Angelica was a little worried and said. Suddenly, Su Ping reminded her, ¡°Of course. Since they are your family in the game¡¯s setting, you¡¯ll have to escape with your family.¡± Upon hearing it, the screen instantly filled with comments. [Haha! Having the game producer sitting beside is a wonderful feeling.] [That¡¯s right. You can just ask if there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand. It¡¯s so interesting.] [Su Ping, how dare you say that? You¡¯re just making it more difficult for us players!] Su Ping said while glancing over the comments helplessly. ¡°You¡¯ve all played a lot of my games. I¡¯ve seen many netizens say that my games are very realistic.¡± ¡°Then let me ask you a question. If such a crisis happens in reality, will you abandon your family to survive?¡± Su Ping¡¯s words stunned the viewers. Of course, no one would do such a thing. What made leaving their families behind any different from dying if they did? Suddenly, the phone in her pocket rang in the game while Angelica attempted to locate the medicine. After picking up the call, she found that the person on the other end was the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, Thierry. Angelica paused the game and looked at the character profile. Only then did she learn the main character¡¯s original job. He not only carried out missions on the battlefields abroad but also served as an investigator for the United Nations, traveling worldwide to carry out investigations. Since the crises had broken out, as the male protagonist¡¯s old friend, Thierry naturally wanted to help him. After the conversation with the Deputy Secretary-General, Angelica learned that the entire country was in complete chaos, especially the big cities, which had wholly fallen! The Deputy Secretary-General asked Angelica to find a place to stay as soon as possible, and he would send a helicopter to pick up Angelica and her family. After hanging up the phone, Angelica continued looking for a place on the map to get asthma medicine. Finally, she targeted a nearby city. ¡°Let¡¯s take a look at this city first. Although the major cities have fallen, the situation in the small cities might not be as bad as we think.¡± Since Angelica was a veteran of the zombie open-world games, the viewers naturally approved her decision. The viewers started discussing the game¡¯s plot in the comments when Angelica was on the way to the nearby city. [I found that the map of World War Z is really big. Now we have confirmed that the map covers at least two cities!] [Moreover, according to the Deputy Secretary-General, the map might be even bigger than we thought. It might even cover a country!] [That¡¯s scary. What kind of workload is that? Did Su Ping really finish the game by himself?] [Su Ping is just like a superhuman. If I¡¯m the one to make the game, I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t do it!] Angelica was focused on playing games while Su Ping took on the task of interacting with the viewers. ¡°Don¡¯t think that I¡¯m a mysterious person. I¡¯m just using a game coding tool that I developed myself. The workload is lighter than you think.¡± ¡°I can tell you in advance that the map in World War Z is unprecedentedly huge. You can explore it in the following stages of the game.¡± After a while, Angelica finally arrived at a nearby city. Just as Angelica expected, the second-tier city wasn¡¯t completely fallen. The zombies didn¡¯t wreak havoc everywhere in the second-tier city. There were still many places where humans were active. However, the city had become very chaotic. Since the zombie crisis had broken out here, people were scrambling to go out and buy some supplies nearby to allow them to hide in their houses for longer. Angelica drove the car to the entrance of a multi-purpose supermarket and stopped. ¡°Usually, there will be a pharmacy inside such a supermarket. Maybe we can find some medicine for asthma!¡± Angelica got off the car with her family, then found two shopping carts and entered the supermarket. The lights in the supermarket constantly flickered, probably because of the poor electrical connection. The flickering light gave off a burdensome and oppressive feeling, and even Angelica¡¯s breathing became heavier. People were running around in the supermarket with all kinds of food in their hands. The place had long lost its order. No one would spend money to buy food and take away what they wanted when they saw it on the shelf. Of course, the supermarket staff might have already run for their lives. Angelica asked her family to split up and look for the needed supplies. She went to the pharmacy to get some asthma medicine. ¡°As expected, I knew there would be a place selling medicine here!¡± After a while, Angelica suddenly said in surprise. She found the pharmacy in the supermarket. However, a man suddenly came from the room and pointed a gun at her as she was preparing to look for medicine. Angelica immediately raised her hands to show that she couldn¡¯t threaten him, and the man looked very nervous. ¡°He wouldn¡¯t want to kill me, would he?¡± Angelica couldn¡¯t help but think. Luckily, the man was still rational. He asked indifferently, ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Angelica answered honestly, ¡°My daughter has asthma. I need to get her some medicine!¡± Angelica prayed in her heart as she spoke, ¡°Please! I hope this guy isn¡¯t a lunatic!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll leave after getting the medicine! Please don¡¯t shoot me!¡± Maybe it was because Angelica¡¯s wishes were effective. The man turned around and fumbled around the shelf next to him. He quickly took out a few boxes of medicine and handed them to Angelica. Meanwhile, he said, ¡°My child has similar symptoms. Good luck.¡± Angelica suddenly felt touched after she heard the man¡¯s words while holding the medicines in her hand. There were still many kind people in the world! Chapter 67 - 67 Angelica Is a Good Citizen 67 Angelica Is a Good Citizen Meanwhile, the comments¡­ [Wow! This brother is a kind person. It turns out he¡¯s been waiting at the pharmacy all the time to get medicine for his child!] [Boo-hoo! Although the end of the world has arrived, this man is still fighting for his child!] [It¡¯s expected in Su Ping¡¯s game. Human nature is all shown in the game. Some people are cruel, some are cold-blooded, but at the same time, some are still kind!] [When will the game be released? I can¡¯t wait to download it and play it!] [Su Ping, just tell me when the game will be released!] The comments urged Su Ping to release the game, which Su Ping expected. The game was originally a buffer zone between Zombie Apocalypse III and Zombie Apocalypse IV. He wanted to provide another game for players to prevent them from getting tired of his games. However, Su Ping still kept it in suspense. ¡°Well, everyone should know that the game is my gift to Angelica.¡± ¡°Hence, I am still determining when the game will be officially released. I need Angelica¡¯s opinion on whether the game is for sale!¡± Upon hearing it, the comments were in chaos. [Crazy game producer, are you deliberately tormenting us?!] [Does Su Ping wants to see us send him blades again?] [Brothers, I¡¯ll soon find Su Ping¡¯s address to show you all. Let¡¯s go to his house and ask him to release the game officially!] Su Ping was pleased and smiled when he saw the viewers were anxious. Angelica couldn¡¯t help but laugh when she saw the viewers crying in the comments. ¡°Haha! You guys are interesting. Don¡¯t tell me you believe in Su Ping¡¯s words, did you?¡± ¡°He made such a big game. How could he only let me play it?¡± ¡°Sigh, you guys are too naive!¡± If Su Ping¡¯s words were meant to make the viewers nervous, Angelica¡¯s taunts made the comments chaotic. [Fuck! It¡¯s only the first day you two do a live stream together, and you¡¯re already starting to follow your boyfriend¡¯s lead?] [What a good pair of couples! Are you publicly showing off your affection?!] [I¡¯m going to unsubscribe. Brothers, let¡¯s unsubscribe and leave the live stream room. We can¡¯t let the couple succeed in torturing us!] ¡°Alright, alright. Everyone, please watch the game. As for when the game will be officially released, I¡¯ll ask Su Ping on behalf of everyone after I¡¯m done.¡± When Angelica saw the comments were soon going off-topic, she quickly comforted the players. Finally, the players calmed down and focused on the game. Angelica took a few asthma medicines at the supermarket and went to find her family. Suddenly, Angelica heard a familiar scream. It was her wife¡¯s voice! Su Ping said that the family NPCs must not die. Otherwise, the game would end in advance, and all her efforts would be in vain! Hence, Angelica quickly threw the medicine into a cart. She then looked in the direction of the sound. Angelica immediately saw a man snatching something from her wife. Angelica had never seen such a scene, which immediately ignited her anger. ¡°Let go of her! Immediately!¡± As she spoke, Angelica raised her hunting rifle and aimed at the man not far away. However, the man pushed Angelica¡¯s wife away and took out a pistol to shoot at Angelica. A gunfight broke out without any warning. Angelica quickly drew her wife behind a shelf and continued shooting at the man opposite her. [The game is so exciting! There¡¯s even a battle between people!] [Sigh. Although such a scene is tragic, if the end of the apocalypse does happen, the terrifying thing might be the people¡¯s minds and humans!] [I agree. In the apocalypse, we must be wary of monsters and humans!] When the viewers saw the scene, they also commented with great emotion. During the battle, Angelica finally found an opportunity. She used the chance of her opponent¡¯s reload to aim and fire at him quickly. ¡°Bang!¡± The man in front of her was immediately hit by a bullet and fell to the ground, motionless. Angelica finally caught her breath and could slightly relax. However, a man in a police uniform suddenly ran over from a distance. When Angelica saw the man, she raised her hands and became very nervous. Although she often played all kinds of zombie games and killed all sorts of people and zombies in the games¡­ However, in reality, Angelica was a good citizen. Since she was young, she had never made any mistakes that violated the law. It was the first time Angelica had killed someone in front of a police officer! Angelica explained as she stared nervously at the police officer walking toward her. ¡°He wanted to steal my things, and he was the one who shot me first. I had no choice but to kill him. I was just defending myself!¡± After she finished her words, the police officer ran past Angelica as if he didn¡¯t hear her. He didn¡¯t even look at her. Seeing such a scene, the 3 million live stream viewers burst into laughter! [Haha! It¡¯s a famous scene. The scene just now is definitely a well-known scene!] [Su Ping, be brave and ask Angelica if she wet her pants.] [Haha! I¡¯m dying of laughter!] [Do any of you record your screen? Hurry up and make a gif of Angelica¡¯s actions so we can share it!] [That¡¯s so funny. The police don¡¯t even care about you!] [Host, you¡¯re too timid. Even if the police officer comes to find trouble with you, it is still a game. You can just restart it!] [I¡¯m embarrassed for myself while seeing the host¡¯s high moral quality. Even in the apocalypse, when the law is broken, she insists on being a law-abiding good citizen!] [If Mr. President doesn¡¯t award you a medal, it would be a waste of your actions just now!] Su Ping couldn¡¯t help but chuckle at the teasing comments. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his waist. Afterward, he realized that Angelica had paused the game and looked at him angrily. ¡°Hmph! Stop laughing! It¡¯s fine if they laugh at me, but why are you laughing too?¡± Angelica expressed her dissatisfaction. Her aggrieved look was enough to melt any man¡¯s heart. Su Ping apologized immediately. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I shouldn¡¯t have laughed. I promise I won¡¯t laugh at you again!¡± ¡°Can you let go of me first? If you continue to use so much force, I¡¯ll be unable to walk out of this live stream room alive today!¡± Angelica snorted in satisfaction when Su Ping begged for mercy. ¡°This is more like it.¡± Chapter 68 - 68 She Must Survive! 68 She Must Survive! [Wow! How dare you two flirt in front of millions of people? Won¡¯t you feel shy?] [Aww! Love is in the air!] [Boo-hoo! I also want such sweet love.] [My darling! I can take it! Please come and pinch me!] [Tell me, why did you reward him?] The viewers naturally noticed the interaction between Angelica and Su Ping. Many male fans were immediately moved to tears. Some even expressed their wish for Angelica to pinch the meat on their waist. Su Ping tried to persuade the viewers, as they had gone off-topic. ¡°We¡¯re all adults here, so please be more reserved when you speak. I¡¯ll be the only one protecting the host. There¡¯s no need for you guys to do anything for her.¡± Su Ping¡¯s declaration immediately caused the comments to be chaotic. Angelica, who had just returned to the game and was about to continue, blushed but said nothing. Her relationship with Su Ping had gone beyond friendship. Hence, she was happy to hear Su Ping¡¯s words. The game continued. Since Angelica had the medicine and some food, she was ready to take her family and leave the city by car. It was already nighttime. The city of citizens infected by zombies would definitely become more dangerous at night! ¡°Now I¡¯m going to drive my family to the suburbs, where there are fewer people. After tonight, Thierry will send a helicopter to pick me up. By then, I won¡¯t have to worry about the safety of my family!¡± Angelica pushed the cart out of the supermarket and explained her next plan to the viewers. However, as soon as she arrived at the supermarket¡¯s entrance, Angelica looked around, and her mind suddenly buzzed and went blank. Two seconds later, Angelica¡¯s hysterical voice came from the live stream. ¡°Fuck! Where¡¯s my RV?!¡± ¡°Which bastard stole my car?! Return my car!¡± Angelica¡¯s shout stunned everyone, including Su Ping. It was the first time he had heard Angelica swear! Not to mention that she was in the middle of a live stream! The viewers instantly became excited. [Haha! The car is gone. Let¡¯s see what you can do now!] [Oh my goodness! The host swore during her live stream. I¡¯m going to report her!] [Brothers, let¡¯s report it! I¡¯ve never seen Angelica¡¯s live stream banned!] [Host, can you guess why the car is gone? Why did those NPCs steal your car!] [The case has been solved. Su Ping was the one who made the game, so he was the one who ordered the NPCs to steal your car! The thief is right beside you!] [Host, it¡¯s Su Ping. He must be torturing you on purpose!] Angelica took off her equipment and glared at Su Ping. Afterward, she asked. ¡°Su Ping, did you do that on purpose?¡± Su Ping spread his hands and pretended to be wronged. He then cried helplessly. ¡°Angelica, how could you think of me that way? Am I such a bad guy in your eyes?¡± ¡°I¡¯m so sad! I¡¯m hurt!¡± Although Su Ping¡¯s expressions annoyed Angelica, she couldn¡¯t bear to hit him for some reason. In the end, she pinched Su Ping¡¯s waist. She then threatened. ¡°Hmph! Since we¡¯re on a live stream, I¡¯m just teaching you a lesson this time. If you do this again, I¡¯ll beat you up!¡± When Angelica finished her words, she put on a fierce look. However, she looked cute in Su Ping¡¯s eyes. She was fierce and cute. [It¡¯s domestic violence! The streamer is indeed abusing him!] [What a violent girl!] [Host, listen to me. Girls can¡¯t hit people!] [So what? My darling, come and hit me! I can take it!] Soon, the comments became off-topic. Su Ping didn¡¯t pay too much attention to the comments, though, as he had grown accustomed to their tone. Even though the RV had been stolen in the game, Angelica couldn¡¯t just sit around and wait for death. The city was still in chaos. Angelica could hear the roars of zombies and the screams of humans from time to time. Many humans were hunted down in the city, and at the same time, they were also transforming into zombies. Meanwhile, Angelica received a call from Thierry again. Thierry informed Angelica over the phone that the plan had a flaw and they couldn¡¯t send a helicopter to save them tonight. They had to wait until tomorrow morning! They also needed to choose a more eye-catching location. Otherwise, the helicopter wouldn¡¯t be able to carry out the rescue. The situation had become critical. The risk could increase with each second of hesitation. Suddenly, Angelica saw an apartment building not far away and immediately told Thierry the location of the apartment building. Meanwhile, she confirmed the time with Thierry. She would show the red flare on the roof of the apartment building at six o¡¯clock tomorrow morning! After hanging up the phone, Angelica immediately ran to the apartment with her family. The apartment building was located in a remote area, with very few people on the streets. ¡°Looks like I¡¯ll have to spend the night in this apartment building. I hope there aren¡¯t any zombies wandering here!¡± Angelica ran as she interacted with viewers on the live stream. Just as Angelica was thinking about it, she heard a loud bang! A black figure suddenly fell from above and smashed into the car on the side of the road. Then she heard the same sound again as something began to fall from the sky one by one. Before Angelica could think further, these black figures climbed up from the car¡¯s roof! They were all zombies! These zombies fell from the building. They might have noticed Angelica on the street, so they immediately jumped out of the window! ¡°Damn, why are the zombies so energetic? Did they jump down from a building just to bite people?¡± ¡°If there were such zombies in the zombie crisis, I¡¯m afraid humans would have gone extinct long ago!¡± After Angelica grumbled, she quickly urged her family to run into the unit. The zombies that fell from the building also started to chase after Angelica and her family. Just as Angelica was about to enter the building, she saw an abnormal scene. A homeless old man was sitting quietly by the wall, drinking wine. The zombies running toward Angelica ran past the old man as if they had ignored him. However, Angelica had no time to think about what was going on at the moment. She rushed into the building and closed the door. At the same time, the zombies had also arrived and were madly banging on the door. Angelica quickly found a few cables to tie to the door handle. Afterward, she ran upstairs with her family. She knew that the building¡¯s gate wouldn¡¯t last long! Chapter 69 - 69 Good Person Will Be Eventually Rewarded 69 Good Person Will Be Eventually Rewarded The zombies downstairs surged in as the situation grew more perilous. [It¡¯s so exciting! It¡¯s what I expected from a zombie game!] [Although I haven¡¯t seen a big boss like the one in the Zombie Apocalypse in World War Z, it still feels good!] [Do you guys think the host can hold on until tomorrow morning? It¡¯s pretty dangerous!] The viewers were discussing while watching Angelica play the game. Su Ping was also watching attentively. Although Su Ping had watched the movie version of World War Z, he had never played the game version. Hence, he was watching it with great interest. As the zombies were getting closer and closer, Angelica quickly pushed down something in the hallway when she turned a corner. Only then did Angelica finally stop the zombies from chasing her and her family. Afterward, Angelica smashed the doorknob of a fire escape with the gunstock. Finally, she opened the door and walked into the apartment. However, all the doors were tightly shut, and there was no place to hide! [Oh no! The host is doomed! She seems to have walked into a dead end!] [Sigh. It¡¯s hard for the host to get to this point. After all, the city is so big. Who knows where is the safest!] [This game is so hard to play. It feels much more challenging than Zombie Apocalypse!] [Host, you¡¯d better give up. Hurry up and restart the game before the zombies come to bite you. Don¡¯t suffer any pain!] The viewers started to persuade Angelica to surrender. However, with Angelica¡¯s strong personality, she couldn¡¯t admit defeat just like that. ¡°All of you, be quiet! I haven¡¯t lost the game yet!¡± Angelica¡¯s sudden shout stunned the viewers in the live stream room. [Damn! The host is fully fledged! How dare she talk to us in such a way?!] [Why are you shouting so loudly at us?!] [Let¡¯s unsubscribe her, brothers!] [The host is so cute. I like her so much!] Angelica looked around, trying to find a place to hide. However, all the doors were tightly shut, and none could be pushed open. ¡°Have I walked into a dead end? Is this really a dead end?¡± Angelica was a little flustered as she muttered to herself. Just as Angelica was at the end of her wits and felt that she might really have to restart the game, she suddenly heard her younger daughter repeating something in the hallway not far away. ¡°Hurry up and open the door! Hurry up and open the door!¡± Upon seeing it, Angelica immediately ran over. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s behind this door?¡± Angelica immediately asked, and her younger daughter answered while pointing at the door. ¡°There are people inside. I saw them open the door, but now they closed it again!¡± Upon hearing her younger daughter¡¯s words, Angelica rekindled her hope from despair. She immediately said to the person inside the room. ¡°Please let us in. I still have two children. I¡¯m willing to let only the two of them in. Please, I beg you!¡± Angelica had never thought she would plead with an NPC in the game! She could only say that the game was too realistic! The game gave her the feeling of being the head of a family, and she must fight for her child¡¯s survival! Even if she had to swallow her pride to beg others, it didn¡¯t matter. Finally, the hearts of the people in the room softened. After they opened the door, Angelica found that there was indeed a family inside. The man urged Angelica and the others. ¡°Hurry up and come in! They¡¯re coming soon!¡± Angelica immediately called her family into the house. As soon as the door closed, she felt the room¡¯s warmth. Angelica¡¯s body and nerves instantly relaxed as she exhaled a sigh of relief. Angelica felt secure, and the feeling made her feel extremely relaxed. ¡°Phew! I finally survived!¡± Afterward, Angelica immediately paused the game and took off her device. She needed a good rest. Her physical energy, especially her mental energy, had been depleted during the recent escape. [Fuck! The host survived?! I can¡¯t believe it!] [Tell me, host. Did you collude with Su Ping? Do you know someone would open the door in this apartment?!] [Of course! It¡¯s obvious that the two of them have agreed to perform here. How can there be such a coincidence?!] [Although the streamer is very strong, please be honest and tell me what¡¯s happening!] While looking at the questioning comments, Angelica stretched her fist to the camera and gestured. ¡°What? If you think I¡¯m cheating, come fight me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m the first player to clear Zombie Apocalypse I and Zombie Apocalypse III! I think you guys are questioning me because of your jealousy!¡± Angelica seemed quite proud and didn¡¯t care about the comments who doubted her as she spoke. [Wow! The host is so arrogant. I like it!] [Since when did the host change her style? I remember that Angelica didn¡¯t dare to speak loudly to us when she was streaming in the past!] [It¡¯s all Su Ping¡¯s fault. It must be Su Ping!] [The host has turned into Su Ping!] The live stream room was immersed in a cheerful atmosphere. ¡°Su Ping, did you set up a room like this in every apartment building?¡± ¡°Or is it that I¡¯m lucky this time and just happened to run to a place where someone opened the door?¡± Taking advantage of the break, Angelica asked a question that many players were concerned about. Su Ping thought back to the original movie since he had no idea what the game would look like after the adaptation. However, Su Ping¡¯s prediction was just as Angelica had guessed. Someone would open the door in every apartment building. Otherwise, the game would be too difficult! How many times would the players have to restart before they could run to a specified apartment in such a big city? Not to mention that the players have to arrive at a specified floor! Su Ping nodded and answered, ¡°Yes. There will be people opening the door in every apartment building.¡± ¡°The setting is to reduce the difficulty and prevent the players from doing a lot of meaningless repetitive work.¡± ¡°On the other hand, I also want to use this opportunity to tell everyone that even in the cruel apocalypse when humanity is annihilated, there will still be many kind-hearted people.¡± ¡°Just because of the mutual help between humans in times of crisis, we can call ourselves civilized.¡± Su Ping¡¯s words made countless people in the live stream room silent. Everyone was lost in their thoughts. It was one of the reasons why Su Ping¡¯s game had so many fans around the world. Besides the game being fun, it also gave the players a chance to think and experience life. It was something that other games had never achieved before! Chapter 70 - 70 The Teenager Is the MVP 70 The Teenager Is the MVP Angelica restored her energy after about ten minutes. Angelica re-entered the game, and the game continued! Angelica had obtained many useful props in the kind survivors¡¯ home. It could help her to complete more preparations before dawn. ¡°Everyone, look carefully. You can wrap these thick-cover books around your arms with thick tape. In this way, you can effectively avoid being bitten by zombies during the battle and getting infected.¡± ¡°Moreover, we can use our arms to block the zombies, which can significantly relieve our combat pressure!¡± Angelica explained as she demonstrated. Soon, two thick-cover books wrapped her arms. She even picked up a pen and knocked on it, making a loud thud. Zombies obviously couldn¡¯t bite through it. The scene surprised the viewers. [Oh my goodness! We can do something like this?] [Host, you¡¯ve broadened my horizon! You¡¯re truly the best player in our zombie open-world gaming industry!] [Although I¡¯m unwilling to admit it, I must say that the host¡¯s talent in the gaming industry is top-notch!] [Thank you for sharing, host!] With her strength this time, Angelica captured the large viewers¡¯ attention in the live stream room. The small trick to deal with zombies was quickly posted to various forums by many players to discuss its feasibility with others. ¡°Other than protecting ourselves, we can also modify our weapons.¡± ¡°Even though we have guns, sometimes we might not have an advantage when fighting against zombies, especially when the zombies are close to us!¡± ¡°At that time, it¡¯s crucial to have a weapon that can kill zombies more easily!¡± ¡°We can tie the daggers to the muzzles!¡± ¡°In this way, if zombies get close to us, we don¡¯t have to waste bullets. We can just stab forward and kill the zombies!¡± It was the second little trick Angelica shared, and it once again won the viewers¡¯ praise. Su Ping was surprised as well. He thought, ¡°Since when did she become so smart?¡± Su Ping remembered that the male lead in the movie version of World War Z did the same thing. He thought, ¡°Is Angelica a transmigrator like me?¡± Soon, Su Ping got rid of the idea since it was impossible. After a night¡¯s rest, it was close to six in the morning, and the operation was about to begin! Angelica had to get to the apartment¡¯s roof before the helicopter arrived and lit the red flare. Otherwise, she might be trapped in the city if she missed the rescue. Angelica even tried to convince the three-person family that had brought her to their home to go with her. However, she failed. ¡°It¡¯s a pity. I think it¡¯s perilous for them to keep hiding here. What if they run out of supplies?¡± ¡°However, since they are unwilling to go with me, I can only leave alone.¡± Angelica said to the viewers regretfully. She had a sincere desire to help the decent NPCs. ¡°Goodbye. I hope we will have the chance to meet again in the future.¡± Angelica smiled and waved at the family of three before she left. She then turned around and led her family to the fire escape to the roof. Angelica had no choice but to ask her wife to light the red flare to illuminate the path as the lights in the fire escape had been switched off. The four tried to maintain absolute silence as they went up the stairs. Suddenly, a zombie with its mouth wide open pounced on Angelica. Angelica was frightened that she could feel her soul out of her body! Her two children also screamed. Although Angelica immediately killed the zombie, the noise still attracted more zombies. Obviously, many zombies were wandering in the fire escape. Angelica could hear the sound of zombies running downstairs. ¡°Hurry up and run! Run to the roof!¡± Angelica urged, then took off running. Angelica¡¯s wife picked up her daughter and followed behind Angelica with their son. Meanwhile, the scene completely captivated everyone in the live-stream room. Even if the viewers weren¡¯t the ones who were playing the game, they still held their breath at the moment, forgetting that they could breathe. It was as if they had become part of the game and were running away from the zombies. The zombies gradually caught up. To protect her family, Angelica was pounced on by one of the zombies and fell to the ground. The zombie¡¯s blood dripped on Angelica¡¯s face, and some might even have entered her mouth! Angelica¡¯s physical strength gradually weakened as the zombies were too strong. Meanwhile, although the viewers in the live stream room hoped that Angelica could successfully overcome the challenge, everyone could see that she had a high probability of failure. [All the best, host! It isn¡¯t easy to get to this point. You will reach the rooftop on just two more floors!] [The game is too difficult. I think the host is going to die in this damn hallway!] [I didn¡¯t expect that even Angelica couldn¡¯t clear it on the first try. It seems that World War Z is really difficult!] [The host has tried her best. There¡¯s no hope of a comeback!] Everyone was looking down on Angelica, even though their judgment was reasonable. The zombies had completely suppressed Angelica, which had diminished her strength. However, just when everyone thought that Angelica was about to fail the game. ¡°Bang!¡± The sound of the gunshot was deafening in the hallway. The zombies struggling and trying to bite Angelica earlier had become lifeless. A large hole appeared on the zombie¡¯s head. [What¡¯s going on? Who fired the shot?] [Su Ping, isn¡¯t there only one gun? The gun is still with Angelica, right? Who did that?] [Did the host cheat? Is she cheating? If you lose the game, you lose. Host, please don¡¯t do such a thing!] The viewers in the live stream room were dumbfounded, and so was Angelica. She had no idea what was going on. On the other hand, Su Ping seemed to have expected the situation. After all, he had watched the movie and knew the subsequent plot. It wasn¡¯t until Angelica got up from the ground that she saw someone beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. It was the son of the family of three! A teenager! He was holding a gun with his hands shaking wildly. It might be the teenager¡¯s first time holding a gun and shooting. But he saved the lives of Angelica¡¯s family! When the viewers saw the teenager, the comments were in complete chaos. Chapter 71 - 71 Escape From the City 71 Escape From the City [Fuck?! Why it turns out to be him? I thought his family didn¡¯t want to leave with Angelica?] [Brothers, I suddenly thought of something terrible. Does the teenager¡¯s appearance mean that his family has already¡­] [Shit! Damn zombie! Angelica might have restarted the game if it wasn¡¯t for this little boy¡¯s family. I didn¡¯t expect their family will die due to the plot!] [Su Ping must have arranged this on purpose. Su Ping, you¡¯re such a bastard! How can you treat a good-hearted person like this!] [As expected, this world won¡¯t reward good people. I¡¯m sure of it.] [It will be great if the teenager is a real person. In any case, in my heart, the teenager is the MVP of this battle!] The viewers in the live stream room were all praising the teenager¡¯s shot, and nobody even paid attention to Angelica¡¯s current actions. Su Ping didn¡¯t expect an NPC in a game to steal the spotlight from the host. Su Ping said with a smile as he looked at the comments. ¡°Let¡¯s focus on the game first. Angelica will be sad if you guys are like this! After all, she¡¯s the host, but you guys just cared about the NPC!¡± After hearing it, the viewers continued to ignore Angelica. [Huh, what does it have to do with me whether the host is sad or not? The teenager saved the host¡¯s life, and you don¡¯t want us to him?!] [That¡¯s right! You two have the potential of capitalists. He saved your life, and you still want to stop people from praising him.] [Su Ping, if you keep talking like that, we¡¯ll unsubscribe Angelica! Be careful. Angelica will beat you up!] Meanwhile, in the game, Angelica killed the zombies near her after being saved. Before Angelica and her family went upstairs, they pushed some obstacles down the stairs, which could temporarily stop the zombies from chasing them. Finally, Angelica and her family, including the teenager, came to the balcony on the roof of the apartment building. It was already dawn. After they reached the roof, Angelica immediately asked her family to light up the red flare while she ran to the edge of the apartment building and stepped on the edge. If Angelica had walked a little further or lost her balance, she could have fallen from the roof and shattered into pieces at any time. Angelica¡¯s actions puzzled the viewers. [What¡¯s going on? What¡¯s the host doing?] [Is the host crazy? Is she suddenly want to try jumping off a building in the game?] [Angelica might be worried about being infected. Didn¡¯t you guys notice that when she was fighting with the zombie, some of its blood seemed to have dripped into Angelica¡¯s mouth?] [Oh! Since you¡¯ve mentioned it, I do remember something like that. The host is truly detailed. But, can players be infected in the game?] Under the gaze of countless viewers, Angelica began to count down. ¡°1001,1002¡­ 1008¡­ 1011¡­¡± When Angelica counted to 1012, she finally stepped back with a look of relief. ¡°Everyone, when I was in the city, I found that the time between being infected by the zombie and the transformation is 12 seconds. So I¡¯m not infected.¡± ¡°Otherwise, I might have to restart the game!¡± When Angelica saw the viewers express their puzzlement in the comments, she gave a simple explanation. Her actions immediately received the approval and praise of the viewers. Meanwhile, the rescue helicopter arrived at the edge of the roof. The soldiers on the helicopter reached out and prepared to pull everyone onto the helicopter. However, the zombies downstairs had managed to get past the hallway¡¯s barriers and were now racing outside. ¡°Hurry up and board the helicopter. There¡¯s no time!¡± Angelica shouted. She allowed the others to board the helicopter ahead of her so she could board last. The soldiers on board the helicopter started firing the weapons they were holding at the zombies, killing them all. Finally, as Angelica boarded the helicopter, it began to leave the edge of the apartment building quickly. However, the following scene shocked countless viewers, including Angelica, who was playing the game. Countless zombies didn¡¯t stop even though they had reached the edge of the apartment building. Instead, they jumped into the air. Some zombies grasped the helicopter¡¯s skids by taking advantage of the fact that the helicopter hadn¡¯t traveled too far. The scene made many viewers take a deep breath and wipe away their sweat. However, the helicopter¡¯s capabilities were exceptional. Moreover, the soldiers weren¡¯t afraid of the zombies. The soldiers soon killed the zombies on the landing gear, and their corpses fell from the sky. Finally, they were safe! Even though the time in the game moved more quickly, Angelica still felt exhausted after spending the entire day moving around and engaging in numerous battles. She was physically and mentally exhausted. Finally, Angelica had the energy to interact with the viewers in the live stream room. ¡°Phew! Hello, everyone. I¡¯ve finally passed this stage. Where will this helicopter take me next? I think it should trigger the next plot.¡± As Angelica took off her gear and drank some water to take a short break, she left the game to run automatically. [Host, you¡¯re amazing! I didn¡¯t expect you to reach this place in one try!] [By the way, does the host have any tricks for playing zombie open-world games? Why does it feel like you¡¯re playing the game so easily?] [Tricks? I think it¡¯s because Su Ping secretly lets the host play the game first!] [That¡¯s right! The host must have played it in advance!] Angelica wasn¡¯t upset when she saw the comments doubting her. Instead, she smiled and said. ¡°I did play this game by myself. Believe it or not.¡± ¡°Su Ping, am I right? You¡¯ve never let me play your games in advance.¡± Su Ping nodded and spoke seriously. ¡°Everyone, please stop questioning Angelica¡¯s ability. Even I, the game producer, didn¡¯t expect her to be so talented at playing games.¡± ¡°The game will reveal a plot in the coming time. It turns out that Angelica needs to rest. During this time, you can ask any questions.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll do my best to respond to questions, whether they are related to the game or something else!¡± Chapter 72 - 72 Sense of Security Given by the Warship 72 Sense of Security Given by the Warship As Angelica finished the previous stage, everyone in the live stream room focused on Su Ping. Since the live stream started and Su Ping entered the room, numerous viewers had considered several questions. ¡°When will World War Z be officially released?¡± It was something that everyone had been thinking about. Especially after Angelica experienced the game¡¯s plot, the players were full of yearning for the game and couldn¡¯t wait to play it. Hence, when Su Ping finished his words, the viewers immediately commented. [When will World War Z be officially released on Steam? What¡¯s the price for the game?] [Su Ping, Su Ping, is there a sequel to this game? Could it be a series of games, like Zombie Apocalypse?] [Su Ping, how many more zombie open-world games will you make? Although your game is perfect, I¡¯m a little tired of playing zombie open-world games. I hope your next game is different from the Zombie Apocalypse series.] [Su Ping, what is your relationship with Angelica now? Are you two an official couple? Will you stay overnight at Angelica¡¯s house tonight?] There were all sorts of questions. Other than game-related questions, some asked about Su Ping and Angelica¡¯s relationship and personal life. For the time being, Su Ping didn¡¯t want to answer questions about his and Angelica¡¯s relationship and personal life. He needed to ask Angelica¡¯s opinion in advance before answering them. Su Ping would only answer relationship-related questions with Angelica¡¯s permission. As for game-related questions, since Su Ping was a game producer, he could decide whether to disclose critical information to the players. Su Ping took a sip of water to moisten his throat and organize his speaking. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve already seen a lot of questions in the comments.¡± ¡°I can see many viewers asking me when the game will be released. There¡¯s no need to worry about this.¡± ¡°Since I¡¯ve already given the game to Angelica to play, it means that the game has been completed, and it is ready for sale.¡± ¡°Although I haven¡¯t discussed the release of this game with Steam, and I have yet to decide on the release date, I can make a promise to everyone here.¡± ¡°The game will definitely be launched on Steam as soon as possible so that everyone can play it as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Moreover, you don¡¯t have to worry about the price. The prices of my games have always been fair and affordable.¡± ¡°I guarantee everyone will feel it¡¯s worth the money.¡± ¡°In addition, people ask if World War Z will be a series like the Zombie Apocalypse series.¡± Su Ping said while shaking his head. ¡°The answer is no. Currently, I don¡¯t plan to make a sequel to World War Z. It¡¯s an independent story, so you don¡¯t have to worry about being tired of it.¡± Su Ping answered so many questions simultaneously that the viewers in the live stream room found it hard to digest all the information. Meanwhile, many other media watching Angelica¡¯s live stream also began sorting out the information that Su Ping had exposed into drafts as quickly as possible. In the next half an hour, news and posts about World War Z and Su Ping would pop up on the internet. Angelica was also listening attentively. Although she could play the game in advance and get the information beforehand¡­ However, Angelica still enjoyed listening to Su Ping¡¯s revelations. It made Angelica delighted, as if she could easily obtain something precious. [Su Ping, hurry up. If I don¡¯t see this game released on Steam within a month, I will send you blades!] [Su Ping, I order you to contact Steam¡¯s employees immediately and set the price for this game first so I can be prepared!] [I¡¯m already prepared to tighten my belt next month to buy World War Z.] Su Ping reminded the viewers as soon as he saw the comments. ¡°I would like to advise the adolescents in the live stream room sincerely. Please refrain from spending your meal money on games. You are all still growing and need to consume nutritious meals. I don¡¯t wish to see my games affect your growth.¡± After Su Ping finished his words, the viewers started to praise him in the comments. [What a conscientious producer. He¡¯s persuading people not to spend money!] [It¡¯s rare to see such a scene. I believe the other producers are eager for the players to buy everything in the game¡¯s mall. The other producers even hoped the players would spend all their salaries on their games!] [Just because of what Su Ping said, I¡¯ll buy all the games he releases in the future!] The atmosphere in the live stream room became relaxed and cheerful, and Angelica¡¯s face always had a faint smile. Although she was the host of the live stream room, she didn¡¯t feel any dissatisfaction in her heart. She even hoped that the time would last longer. Finally, more than ten minutes passed unknowingly, and Angelica was almost done resting. ¡°Alright, everyone. I¡¯m going back to the game to start the next plot.¡± ¡°Su Ping, can you tell me whether the rest of the story is exciting?¡± Angelica asked mischievously. Su Ping said with a smile, ¡°Of course! The world in this game is enormous. Don¡¯t be surprised later!¡± Soon, Angelica re-entered the game. When she re-entered the game this time, she was surprised to find that the surroundings had changed entirely. ¡°Eh? I remember I was in the sky above the city when I left. How come I¡¯m in the sea now?¡± Angelica looked at the vast ocean beside her and said, surprisingly. ¡°Wow! What did I just see? Is that a warship?¡± Meanwhile, a huge warship was slowly drifting through the water in front of the helicopter that Angelica was traveling on. Soon, Angelica landed on the warship¡¯s deck with the helicopter and met the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, her friend, Thierry, who had contacted her before. For some reason, Angelica felt a sense of security when she saw the Deputy Secretary-General. Perhaps it was because Thierry was the one who had sent the helicopter to pick her up. That was why Angelica and the Deputy Secretary-General seemed very close when they met, as if they were friends in reality. Chapter 73 - 73 The New Plot, Investigate the Origin of the Virus 73 The New Plot, Investigate the Origin of the Virus [Wow, so this is what a warship¡¯s inside looks like.] [Did you guys see that? The command room looks so cool!] [The warship is so realistic. Su Ping must have boarded this kind of warship himself. Otherwise, how could it be so realistic?] [I almost thought that it wasn¡¯t a game but in reality!] As Angelica followed Thierry into the warship, the viewers fussed over it. However, Su Ping wasn¡¯t worried that something would go wrong. Since the warship was adapted from the movie¡¯s content, everything was naturally reasonable. ¡°Friends, it appears that here is where we will eventually live on the warship.¡± Angelica said after a while, mockingly, as she looked at the small bed in front of her. ¡°Although the bed doesn¡¯t look comfortable, it¡¯s good enough to sleep well now.¡± Angelica took things as they came and wasn¡¯t too picky, which received positive comments from the viewers. [I think the host is truly suitable to survive in an apocalypse. If an apocalypse does come one day, the host will definitely live longer than me!] [How can the game be the same as the real end of the world? In reality, zombies won¡¯t even appear!] [I don¡¯t think so. Since technology is so advanced now, who knows if the scientists in the laboratory can come up with such strange things?] [Let¡¯s stop talking about this. It¡¯s a little dangerous!] Soon, Angelica had settled her family down. Just as she was wondering what to do next, Thierry came to her. ¡°Haha! It looks like the following plot is about to begin. I knew this game wouldn¡¯t allow me to freeload on a warship!¡± Angelica smiled and immediately agreed to Thierry¡¯s invitation. Afterward, they went to the command room together. Although the command room was very spacious, since there were many people there, it was crowded. Moreover, everyone seemed extremely busy, as if they had endless things to do. The big screen displayed all sorts of data. In the center of the screen, there was a world map. The entire map was red, except for the last hope of humankind, Greenland Island. After hearing Thierry¡¯s explanation, Angelica and the viewers in the live stream room finally understood the world¡¯s current situation. The virus had ravaged the world, and no country was spared. But until now, people had no idea where the zombie-causing virus originated! Another big piece of news made Angelica and everyone in the live stream room unable to hold back. [Pfft! The classic scene of the President¡¯s sacrifice!] [Haha! The president is dead again. I knew this would happen!] [Whether it¡¯s a game or a movie, as long as there¡¯s a world-class disaster, it will definitely doom the president! No matter if the president is willing or unwilling, they must die!] ¡°Su Ping, aren¡¯t you afraid they will come to you?¡± Angelica couldn¡¯t help but tease him. ¡°By the way, does everyone know what happened to the president of the Zombie Apocalypse?¡± As soon as Angelica said that, all the viewers immediately commented. [Doomed.] Afterward, Thierry told Angelica about his request, which was the following plot of the game. ¡°It seems that Thierry needs our help to investigate the origin of the zombie virus.¡± ¡°He wants me to bring a Harvard Ph.D. to a military base in Korea?¡± Upon hearing it, Angelica looked where Thierry was pointing and glanced at the Ph.D. The young man in his early 20s was speaking eloquently in the crowd. For some reason, Angelica felt that the guy looked as if he would suddenly die in an accident at any time. Angelica thought, ¡°Is this guy reliable?¡± ¡°It won¡¯t be another murder mystery, right?¡± Meanwhile, the warship¡¯s captain came to see Angelica as Thierry left. The captain continued to persuade Angelica to accept the mission. After all, the character Angelica played had been on numerous battlefields and had carried out many secret missions. As a player, Angelica naturally accepted the mission immediately. However, Angelica asked for a satellite phone for her family before she left, just in case. ¡°After all, this game requires my family to survive. I want them to be kept from being driven back to land when I am out for a mission!¡± Angelica even explained to the viewers the reason for her actions. [Host, you¡¯re so detailed. Su Ping might do something like that based on his habits!] [That¡¯s right. For example, if Angelica is in the middle of a mission, the game might suddenly end because zombies killed her family on land!] [Haha, don¡¯t be so obvious. Have you forgotten that Su Ping is sitting right next to Angelica?] [Fuck! I¡¯ve forgotten about Su Ping!] [Haha! It¡¯s hilarious. Su Ping¡¯s reputation is ruined!] Su Ping didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the comments teasing him. ¡°Am I such an unbearable image in your hearts?¡± As soon as Su Ping said that, the viewers commented in unison. [Yes!] When Su Ping saw the comments, he felt like something in his heart had shattered. On the other side, in the game, Angelica had already boarded the plane with a group of subordinates she had just recruited and was ready to head to Korea. On the plane, Angelica even started chatting with the virology Ph.D. Angelica and the virology Ph.D. were talking about the zombie crisis. However, Angelica was clueless and couldn¡¯t understand his words. The viewers teased Angelica when they saw her blank expression. [A cultural desert!] [Haha! Su Ping must be doing this on purpose. He¡¯s trying to humiliate the players¡¯ academic qualifications!] [By the way, does anyone know which school Su Ping graduated from? I always feel like he keeps talking nonsense!] [To be honest, this Ph.D. seems to have something up his sleeve. Did Su Ping find his conscience and create a character to help us clear the stage?] [Are you new here? How can you think so highly of Su Ping?] Of course, Angelica couldn¡¯t just watch her glorious image be destroyed. Hence, she quickly explained. ¡°How can I be a cultural desert? I just don¡¯t know much about this subject!¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to get angry if you guys keep saying that!¡± However, it only made things worse. Chapter 74 - 74 The Sloppiest Way of Dying 74 The Sloppiest Way of Dying Finally, the plane arrived at the military base in Korea. Meanwhile, the viewers suddenly sighed in the comments. [The game does have a big map this time. The battlefield has even moved to another country!] [That¡¯s right. Will the players have to take another plane to other places? If that¡¯s the case, how big will the game be if we download it?] [I feel that this game will overturn all our past perceptions!] Just as the viewers were discussing the topic, the cabin door opened, and it was raining heavily outside. The sound of the rain had perfectly covered the sound of the zombies, which made Angelica immediately tense up her nerves. ¡°This stage might be tough. Did you notice the surrounding environment? It¡¯s effortless for zombies to launch sneak attacks on humans in such a rainy environment!¡± Angelica analyzed calmly, and the viewers also approved of her thoughts. Suddenly, a zombie broke through the rain and charged at a soldier. Fortunately, everyone was prepared and didn¡¯t let the zombie succeed. Afterward, zombies appeared one after another, and the gunshots became continuous. Angelica also joined the intense battle with her gun. Although there weren¡¯t many zombies in the battle, the particular environment of the rain and night still caused much trouble for Angelica. Angelica had to focus all the time since she had no idea when the zombies would suddenly approach! [What an exciting gunfight! The design of this scene is very novel!] [That¡¯s right! I¡¯m looking forward to playing the game when watching Angelica play it!] [Hey, does any of you see where the virology Ph.D. go?] Suddenly, someone asked it in the comments, and the viewers only realized that the virology Ph.D. was gone! After looking at the comments, Angelica also noticed it and quickly turned back to look for the virology Ph.D. Angelica just happened to see a theatrical scene. Previously, the virology Ph.D. who had talked to Angelica on the plane seemed to know zombies very well and was fearless. He seemed frightened by the gunfight that was happening outside now. He turned and ran into the cabin, wanting to go in and hide in a safe place. However, he was so flustered that he unintentionally hooked his right foot onto the plane¡¯s door connection. Since he used too much force, his body instantly lost balance and fell straight forward. The most important thing was that the Ph.D. was holding a loaded pistol. A second later, there was a bang, and the pistol had misfired! The bullet just happened to hit his head, and he died! Nobody could be saved in such a situation. Everyone thought, ¡°How can a virology Ph.D. die in such a way?¡± [What¡¯s the situation? Is he dead?] [Isn¡¯t his death a little too sloppy?] [Why does this script kill look so sloppy? Su Ping, have you ever considered his feelings?] [I knew Su Ping wouldn¡¯t be so kind as to give us a virology Ph.D. for free! But his death was a little too pitiful!] [Fuck! Su Ping, are you crazy?] As for the Ph.D.¡¯s dramatic death, the viewers naturally couldn¡¯t accept it. They all started to blame Su Ping for making the game difficult. Su Ping sat there as if he didn¡¯t see the comments, no matter how harsh they were. [Su Ping, you¡¯re so thick-skinned!] [I¡¯ve finally seen how thick-skinned a person can be!] [Good cabbage has been eaten by pigs! What did Angelica see in him?] Angelica was also stunned to see the scene. She subconsciously wanted to go up and check if the Ph.D. was really dead since everything happened so suddenly. It wasn¡¯t until a member of the Special Forces came up to ask about the situation that Angelica realized that the plot had arranged the Ph.D.¡¯s death. Despite her sympathy for the Ph.D., she wouldn¡¯t blame Su Ping as the comments did. ¡°Everyone, stop scolding Su Ping. He must have his reasons for doing this. Let¡¯s continue watching me play.¡± The viewers, who were already angry at Su Ping, had a mental breakdown after hearing what Angelica said. [Boo-hoo! Angelica is such a good woman. But why did she have to meet a scumbag like Su Ping?!] [Angelica, Su Ping doesn¡¯t deserve what you did for him!] [It¡¯s over. Angelica has completely fallen for Su Ping!] After a while, the military base¡¯s inhabitants became aware of Angelica and her group¡¯s presence as the battle was still in progress. They had sent a small team to escort them into the military base. ¡°Although the Ph.D. is dead, we must continue our mission. I¡¯ll walk around the base and see if I can get useful clues!¡± Angelica didn¡¯t get her hopes down. She was still trying to find the virus¡¯s origin, finish her task, and return to the warship as soon as possible. Soon, Angelica was led to a room by the base captain. It was clear that the room had burned, and everything inside had been reduced to ashes. After the base captain¡¯s explanation, Angelica also grasped a lot of background information about the game. ¡°It seems that the zombies here are similar to the zombies in the Zombie Apocalypse series, except for being faster and stronger. Their characteristics are basically the same.¡± ¡°It turns out that the first infected person appeared in here!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity that a fire has burned this place down. Otherwise, we might be able to find something useful!¡± Angelica felt regretful as she looked at the room that had been reduced to ashes. However, as the saying goes, things will work out when they get there. The game wouldn¡¯t stop the players from continuing to play. Soon, Angelica found an Intelligence Agency investigator locked up in the base. After talking to him, Angelica learned that only one country in the world had not been infected. It was Israel! They had built a fortress beforehand to block all the zombies from the outside. Moreover, people could still live a normal life inside the wall! Upon hearing it, Angelica was shocked. ¡°Does it work?¡± Although Angelica had played a lot of zombie open-world games, she had never heard of a wall being built in advance to stop the spread of the zombie virus. However, on second thought, the method seemed feasible. After all, it would be fine as long as the zombies couldn¡¯t hurt people. After thinking for a while, Angelica decided to head to Israel! Chapter 75 - 75 Its Not Good Behavior 75 It¡¯s Not Good Behavior However, the distance between Israel and Korea was far, and they had to fly almost half of the planet. Obviously, the remaining fuel of the plane wasn¡¯t enough to complete such a long-distance flight. Therefore, they accepted the suggestion of the base captain and decided to reduce the noise by riding bicycles to get through the zombie crowd! After all, refueling the plane required some time. It was difficult to guarantee that the refueling process wouldn¡¯t be affected if the zombies attacked the people during that time. ¡°Everyone, it seems like we still have one more battle before we head to Israel!¡± ¡°But it doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯m no longer the same person as two hours ago!¡± Angelica was full of fighting spirit and looked eager to try it. [Haha! The host¡¯s expression just now is so cute!] [I like the host¡¯s fierce and cute look!] [Host, are you getting arrogant? Are you arrogant after beating a few little zombies?] [The zombies will teach the host a lesson about the importance of being humble in a while. Host, get ready to restart the game. Remember to save!] Angelica never got angry at the viewers¡¯ teasing. She would only have good interactions with them. Soon, everyone was ready. They rode their bicycles through the night and rain to the plane. The experience gave Angelica a fantastic feeling. There were many zombies not far from them, but because of the sound of the rain, the zombies couldn¡¯t find them! ¡°It¡¯s amazing! It feels so exciting!¡± ¡°Haha! I¡¯m probably the first person in the world to be safe and sound in a zombie crowd!¡± Angelica turned off the in-game voice chat and excitedly spoke to the viewers in the live stream room. Meanwhile, nobody was teasing Angelica because the viewers¡¯ attention was all drawn to the scene. [Fuck! Does it work? It¡¯s rare to see such a scene!] [Su Ping is so creative. Although I¡¯m not playing the game, it¡¯s exciting just thinking about it!] [Boo-hoo! When will World War Z be released on Steam? I can¡¯t wait to play it!] [I also want to ride a bicycle through the zombie crowd!] [Host, I advise you not to get too carried away. Have you forgotten what kind of person Su Ping is? He must have set a trap here!] [That¡¯s right! An accident will definitely happen!] After interacting with the viewers for a while, Angelica focused on the game. Meanwhile, the bicycle was about to pass through the barbed wire in front of them. A few zombies¡¯ corpses were hanging on the wire fence. Apparently, they were hooked by the wire while running. Just as Angelica was about to ride her bike through the wire fence¡­ ¡°Beep-beep-beep-beep! Beep-beep-beep-beep!¡± The sudden beep shocked everyone! [Haha! I knew it! I knew something like this would happen!] [It¡¯s indeed Su Ping¡¯s style!] [To be honest, even if nobody tells me the producer of this game, based on what has happened, I can tell that Su Ping is the one who created this game!] [Haha! This lesson tells us not to get carried away. Otherwise, we will fall into a trap just like the host did!] [The satellite phone foreshadowing!] The viewers were happy to see the twist in the situation. After all, they were just waiting to have fun while Angelica suffered in the game. In the game, Angelica and all her other teammates were shocked by the satellite phone¡¯s ringtone. Angelica quickly took out her phone and glanced at the number on the screen. It was a call from her family. She might have been unable to hold back her anger if it was someone else. She quickly pressed the red button. Although Angelica was quick in her movements, the phone¡¯s ringtone had already awakened the surrounding zombies! ¡°Damn! The zombies have been awakened. We have to get to the plane as soon as possible!¡± Angelica noticed the change in their surroundings and quickly reminded her teammates. Her teammates all nodded in agreement. Suddenly, someone said. ¡°It¡¯s not good behavior to leave your phone open during a mission!¡± Angelica had never thought an NPC in a game would one day teach her a lesson! Meanwhile, the viewers in the live stream room burst into laughter. The comments were immersed in a cheerful atmosphere. [Pfft! Did the streamer get educated by an NPC?] [Congratulations to the host for becoming the first person in the world to be educated by an NPC!] [Although Su Ping has shown his repulsive addiction again, I like it this time!] [I hope nobody in the world will have a teammate like Angelica!] [When you¡¯re on a mission, please turn off your phone or turn on airplane mode!] Meanwhile, Angelica had no time to pay attention to the comments. She quickly pedaled the bicycle under her feet. Finally, they came to the plane¡¯s door, and the Ph.D.¡¯s body was still lying on the door, making people feel that his death was a bit pitiful. Since the sudden ringing of the phone had woken up the zombies around them, Angelica and her teammates had to fight against the zombies when refueling the plane. Angelica improved her fighting skills by returning to a familiar place, environment, and fighting method. When the zombies jumped out of the rain, Angelica had already aimed her gun at them. The battle was intensive. However, it also brought casualties. Finally, the plane was fully refueled. However, Angelica encountered a new problem. If the plane wanted to take off, they would have had to pull out the gas pipe, but no one was outside. Just as Angelica was at the end of her wits, a soldier¡¯s voice came from the walkie-talkie. ¡°Leave this to me. You guys go to Israel and find this damn virus as soon as possible!¡± ¡°The world¡¯s hope is in your hands!¡± Afterward, Angelica saw a soldier return to the zombie crowd through the camera on the plane. She saw him pull out the pipe from the fuel tank at the last moment of his life. Although the plot again arranged some people¡¯s deaths, nobody teased or condemned Su Ping like before. The soldier¡¯s spirit of selfless sacrifice moved everyone. Even though he was an NPC, he was a living person in the hearts of the viewers and Angelica at this moment! [Sigh. I¡¯m a little sad. I always feel that everything that happens in this game is like a parallel world!] [That¡¯s right. That¡¯s why I like Su Ping so much. Although he always shows his repulsive addictions, he has me under his thumb when it comes to emotions!] [Damn you, Su Ping! Why can¡¯t you just let everyone live?] The live stream room¡¯s atmosphere suddenly changed to melancholy, and even Angelica stopped speaking. Chapter 76 - 76 Arrived Israel 76 Arrived Israel Finally, the plane took off, and the viewers stopped focusing on the military base. Everyone was looking forward to seeing what the upcoming location would be like. According to the conversation between Angelica and the Intelligence Agency investigator, Israel should still be a clean place in the world! They built a fortress to keep all the zombies out! [I¡¯m curious how Israel did it. If it¡¯s in reality, is there really someone who can complete such a large project in advance?] [I can only admire Su Ping¡¯s creativity. The idea of building a fortress to stop zombies is invincible!] [Everyone, look! What¡¯s that under the clouds?] Suddenly, someone commented. Everyone in the live stream room, including Angelica, was instantly attracted. A huge mushroom cloud suddenly appeared on the right side of the plane! Everyone was familiar with the mushroom cloud! It was caused by nuclear weapons! It turned out that someone used nuclear weapons to fight against zombies! [Oh my goodness! What¡¯s going on?] [I knew there would be people who couldn¡¯t help but want to use nuclear weapons to wipe out the zombies. However, it¡¯s indeed a pyrrhic victory.] [What a spectacular scene. It should be the first time a nuclear explosion has occurred in the game, right?] [It¡¯s definitely over budget. Purchasing this game is worthwhile just for this scenario alone!] Angelica¡¯s mouth was wide open as she looked in shock at the nuclear explosion in the distance. Angelica couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Su Ping, do you believe that if such a catastrophe occurs, people will use nuclear weapons?¡± ¡°After all, it will cause long-term damage to the explosion area.¡± Su Ping said after some thought. ¡°It¡¯s possible if we analyze it rationally. After all, it¡¯s the end of the world, and the most important thing is survival. We can¡¯t avoid pollution since we can¡¯t do things perfectly.¡± Angelica nodded, deep in thought. Apparently, she agreed with Su Ping¡¯s analysis. Soon, the plane started to shake violently due to the nuclear explosion, which made Angelica and the viewers in the live stream room nervous. It was because electromagnetic waves would be released by a nuclear explosion, particularly if these electromagnetic pulses reached the upper altitudes and ionized the air. It would cause irreversible damage to any electronic product. Hence, everyone was worried that the plane would suddenly stop operating and crash. However, everyone was soon relieved. The plane soon stabilized, but the explosion scene was still repeated in their minds. Finally, after a long flight, the plane arrived at a yellow land. It was the sky above Israel¡¯s territory. Everyone saw that there was indeed a fortress. Before the plane landed, Angelica and the viewers saw the whole wall. The fortress surrounded the entire city like a protective shell, making it impossible for the zombies outside to attack. The fortress was sturdy. It wasn¡¯t something that the zombies could break easily. [Wow! What a spectacular scene! It¡¯s even more spectacular than the nuclear explosion scene just now!] [This is a miracle in human history!] [Although it¡¯s just a game, I have to say that this is mighty.] [If a zombie crisis happened in reality, I think I would go to Israel!] [Haha! Is Su Ping doing a free advertisement for the tourism industry of Israel? Su Ping, you should collect advertisement fees from them!] Just as the viewers were admiring the fortress, they heard the voice of the staff from the control tower. ¡°Who are you? Please state your identity.¡± As the special representative of the United Nations, Angelica announced her identity immediately. She even gave them the phone number of the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, Thierry. Soon, the control tower sent back a message and allowed them to land. Soon, Angelica told the pilot to wait for her on the plane before getting off. Finally, Angelica stepped on the land of Israel. She stretched her body to relax as she took in the fresh air. Since there were no zombies here, she didn¡¯t have to worry about zombies suddenly rushing out and biting her to death. Everything here was undisturbed. It was as if the zombie crisis didn¡¯t break out at all, and the crisis was just a dream. ¡°Wow! This place is like a paradise in an apocalyptic world!¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t a game, I would definitely stay here and wait for the end of the apocalypse!¡± Angelica said sincerely. Many other passenger aircraft were parked at the airport, and some had just arrived to take refuge. The passengers got off one by one. The city¡¯s manager was generous to the refugees and didn¡¯t stop them from landing. It showed human kindness and the ability of humans to unite in the face of a huge disaster. ¡°That¡¯s great, but we still have a mission to complete. I hope we can save more survivors here!¡± Afterward, Angelica got into a military jeep and was ready to meet the target of the trip, Mr. Yue. However, after listening to Angelica¡¯s words, the viewers in the live stream room were unwilling to believe that it could be peaceful forever. [Since Angelica has already come to this city as the male lead, I dare to predict something will happen to this city!] [Haha! That¡¯s obvious. According to Su Ping¡¯s style, this city will be destroyed soon!] [I¡¯m 100% sure. If Su Ping doesn¡¯t arrange accidents, then he¡¯s not Su Ping!] Su Ping couldn¡¯t help but roast the viewers when he saw the comments about him. ¡°Hey, am I, an outstanding game designer, that bad in your eyes? Why can¡¯t you guys think of me in a positive light?¡± ¡°Must you imagine me as an anti-human demon?¡± Su Ping didn¡¯t know when he had become a villain in the players¡¯ eyes. However, as soon as he finished speaking, all the viewers commented. [Are you not a demon?] Su Ping was speechless. Angelica, who was playing the game beside him, obviously saw the comments too. She couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Su Ping wished he could find somewhere to hide. Chapter 77 - 77 The Tenth 77 The Tenth-Man Principle After a while, Angelica finally met Mr. Yue, mentioned by the Intelligence Agency investigator, in the surviving city of Israel. Angelica only exchanged a few pleasantries with Mr. Yue. After all, it was a game, and there was no need to get involved in social conventions and red tape. The most important thing was to complete the mission and unlock the game¡¯s plot. Angelica got straight to the point and asked, ¡°Mr. Yue, I¡¯m shocked by the fortress Israel established.¡± ¡°How did you get the news that the zombie crisis would break out beforehand and build this wall in advance?¡± It was also the question of all the viewers in the live stream room. Although it was just a game, all the plots of a virtual reality game had to be logical and in line with the worldview of reality! Otherwise, it couldn¡¯t consider virtual reality when it didn¡¯t even conform to the logic of reality. After listening to Angelica¡¯s question, Mr. Yue quickly explained everything since it wasn¡¯t something that needed to be hidden. ¡°Have you ever heard of Israel¡¯s tenth-man system?¡± Mr. Yue said indifferently, like an expert. Upon hearing it, Angelica looked confused. ¡°What¡¯s the tenth-man system?¡± Most of the live stream room viewers hadn¡¯t heard of it. As for the few who were more knowledgeable, their comments were basically drowned out by the vast amount of comments. Mr. Yue continued. ¡°The so-called tenth-man system is when nine people agree with something, the tenth person must express an opposing opinion!¡± ¡°And the person has to find a way to prove that his opinion is correct!¡± Meanwhile, Mr. Yue took out a document that looked like a report. ¡°This is military intelligence we got from South Asia a few months ago. It mentioned that zombies appeared in a village in South Asia!¡± ¡°At first, everyone thought that the zombies mentioned here were just a metaphor, but the tenth-man system requires the tenth person to express his opposing opinion.¡± ¡°And I am the tenth person!¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I stood up at the meeting and said that the zombies mentioned here should be the literal meaning, which is the real zombies!¡± ¡°That¡¯s why we build a fortress to block all zombies from our city before the disaster breaks out!¡± ¡°And we have built an uncontaminated land in the world!¡± After listening to Mr. Yue¡¯s words, Angelica was lost for words to express her feelings. Other than shock and admiration, Angelica had no other thoughts. Things were the same for the viewers in the live-stream room. [Oh my goodness! Does such a system really exist in reality?] [No wonder Israel can make preparations in advance. The tenth-man system has made a great contribution!] [I hope my country can also implement such a system to prevent any crisis in the future!] [Although it¡¯s just a game, I think the tenth-man system is also meaningful in the real world!] [I¡¯ve learned a lot. I realize that Su Ping¡¯s game can no longer be called a game. It¡¯s educational!] [That¡¯s right. Every time I play Su Ping¡¯s game, I can gain some insights and improve from reality.] The viewers in the stream room all had good reviews for the system, and even Su Ping¡¯s reputation had improved. After all, Su Ping was the one who made the game. From the viewers¡¯ perspective, Su Ping was the real hero who had saved the city. Su Ping couldn¡¯t help but join in the heated discussion on the comments. Moreover, since Su Ping had done some research, he knew more than the viewers. Therefore, Su Ping said in the live stream room, ¡°Dear viewers, I¡¯ve just seen the content you posted.¡± ¡°I found that many people are discussing whether the tenth-man system existed in history.¡± ¡°Now, I¡¯m going to tell you that this system is something other than what I came up with. It really existed!¡± As soon as he said that, the comments were in an uproar. [What? The tenth-man system actually exists?!] [Really? It¡¯s ridiculous!] [Does Israel create it?] [Su Ping, tell me what happened! Don¡¯t keep us in suspense!] Meanwhile, even Angelica paused the game and took off her equipment. She looked at Su Ping thoughtfully and curiously. Su Ping smiled and said. ¡°The tenth-man system originated fifty years ago.¡± ¡°If there are viewers in our live stream room who have a better understanding of the history of Israel, you should have heard that there were several wars that happened here in the last century, right?¡± Su Ping¡¯s words inspired some of the viewers. [Of course, I do. Those are world-famous wars!] [Haha! I¡¯ve learned about it in history class!] Su Ping nodded and continued. ¡°Back then, Palestine had deployed its troops at the border of Israel. They were powerful and seriously threatened the security of Israel.¡± ¡°At that time, the Intelligence Agency of Israel unanimously believed Palestine wouldn¡¯t launch an attack on them. However, the history that followed proved their judgment was wrong, and they had paid a heavy price for it!¡± ¡°Since then, Israel established a special organization called the Red Team. The organization had special powers that were above the traditional Intelligence Agency!¡± ¡°The Red Team can question any conclusion made by the Intelligence Agency under any circumstances!¡± ¡°And it is the tenth-man system that everyone has seen in the game. I¡¯ve only made slight modifications to it.¡± At some point, no one in the live stream room bragged or joked in the comments. The live stream room seemed to have become a large history classroom. Millions of people were listening to Su Ping¡¯s lecture at the same time. Su Ping had not expected such a situation to happen. He only gave the viewers historical information when he saw that everyone was curious about the tenth-man system. [So it did exist in history!] [Although it wasn¡¯t called the tenth-man system in history, I¡¯ve broadened my horizon today!] [No wonder Su Ping can produce so many good games! He must have done a lot of research in private! His games are much better than those game development companies that only know how to make games with the same content!] [That¡¯s right! I can¡¯t play any other games now. They¡¯re terrible!] [I support Su Ping. I will buy and play every game he releases in the future!] [I¡¯ll forever support Su Ping due to his attitude!] Chapter 78 - 78 The Gate of God 78 The Gate of God After a long time, the discussion about the tenth-man system in the live stream room finally ended, and Angelica returned to the game. Meanwhile, she had arrived at the city gate with Mr. Yue under the fortress that protected the city. The fortress had a famous name, The Gate of God, which was suitable for its current purpose. Under the fortress, a solid tunnel led people to enter the city from the outside. Many survivors were entering the city in groups to seek protection. Everyone who entered the city reverently praised the city¡¯s manager and thanked them for giving them hope to survive. Everyone showed a happy and grateful smile, and the scene moved Angelica and the viewers. A group of survivors entered the city via the gate just as it was starting to feel euphoric. They were different from the previous survivors. The other survivors only used their mouths to sing. However, they took out their speakers and even connected to the broadcast speaker. They picked up the microphone and began to sing. The volume was so high that Angelica couldn¡¯t even hear Mr. Yue¡¯s voice next to her. At first, Angelica didn¡¯t think anything was wrong with the situation since it was normal for people to be happy after surviving a disaster. However, Angelica soon realized they were singing too loudly! Besides Angelica, the soldiers on duty at the gate also realized the problem. They began to sprint, trying to persuade them to turn off their microphones. However, it was too late. Meanwhile, Angelica seemed to have felt something. Suddenly, she looked up at the top of the fortress and saw a few zombies had already climbed to it! Hence, Angelica immediately pointed at the fortress and shouted, ¡°They¡¯re climbing over it!¡± Mr. Yue was shocked to hear Angelica¡¯s words, and his facial expressions looked pale. A few zombies crossed the fortress and leaped down from a height of several stories just a few seconds after Angelica finished speaking. Zombies were creatures that had already died once. As long as they didn¡¯t damage their heads, they wouldn¡¯t die even if they fell to the ground from a high place. They could even get up and continue running! Countless zombies jumped over the wall and entered the city, smashing into the bus under the fortress. The scene shocked everyone. Nobody had expected that zombies could climb up such a high fortress! After seeing such a situation, Mr. Yue immediately gave orders to the soldiers beside him. ¡°Protect him and bring him to the airport. Let him leave this city!¡± Afterward, Mr. Yue told Angelica to leave as soon as possible, but he chose to stay. Mr. Yue built the fortress outside the city. Since the city was fallen, he had no reason to continue living. Hence, he chose to die with the city! The scene moved many people. [Mr. Yue has already done his best. Unfortunately, they have met some stupid survivors. Since they know zombies are sensitive to voices, why did they still sing so loudly in the city?] [Sigh. As the saying goes, if you don¡¯t seek death, you won¡¯t die. They don¡¯t have any sense of crisis at all. Getting to a safe place is difficult, but they immediately let down their guards!] [It¡¯s a pity for this miraculous place. I thought this city would become an uncontaminated place in the apocalypse!] [The person who predicted that something would happen in the city, come out and get beaten!] [Haha! The new viewers are still wondering why the city is in trouble. We have already predicted such a result!] [Isn¡¯t this Su Ping¡¯s style? Calm down, everyone!] [Su Ping, you bastard! How can you be so cruel?] Angelica could no longer care about interacting with the comments because a devastating crisis had arrived. The city was no longer safe. It could be said that due to the existence of the fortress, everyone who stayed in the city could only hide and pray that the zombies wouldn¡¯t discover them. Otherwise, they would be bitten to death! Angelica followed the female soldiers who were protecting her and quickly shuttled through the streets and alleys of the city. The infection was spreading rapidly. However, while running away, Angelica once again noticed a scene that puzzled her. A white-haired old man stood in the middle of the road. Initially, he was running away, but he stopped. The incredible thing was that the zombies that bit everyone they saw seemed to ignore the old man. The situation was like a river meeting a rock. When the zombies passed by the old man, they would automatically separate and go around the old man¡¯s body! Angelica saw more similar scenes. A bald young man was as thin as a stick and seemed to suffer from some disease. Initially, the bald young man was running for his life, but due to his limited physical strength, he soon couldn¡¯t run anymore. However, just when he thought he would be bitten to death by the zombies, he found that the zombies seemed not to see him, and they passed by him. The two scenes reminded Angelica of the drunk old man she had seen under the apartment building in the city. The old man seemed invisible in zombies¡¯ eyes, just like the white-haired old man and the bald young man! Angelica was still running for her life, so she wasn¡¯t in the mood to consider what was causing the phenomenon. As they passed through an alley, countless zombies swooped down from the sky. Fortunately, there was a metal net above them that stopped the zombies. However, the metal nets could only withstand a limited weight and quickly collapsed. Angelica and the female soldier only escaped after fighting with all their might. However, after the zombies were defeated and everyone was about to take a breath and decide how to proceed¡­ A zombie hiding in the dark suddenly pounced and caught everyone off guard. It bit a female soldier¡¯s hand! Even though Angelica quickly shot the zombie¡¯s head, the female soldier was infected. The female soldier seemed to be at a loss. She didn¡¯t know what she should do now. At crunch time, Angelica didn¡¯t hesitate at all. Angelica pulled a scimitar from the female soldier¡¯s leg and then used it to cut down the female soldier¡¯s arm! When the live stream room viewers saw the scene, many of them closed their eyes in fear. Although it was a violent and combat-heavy game, the scene was visually arresting. As the scimitar fell, it directly cut off the female soldier¡¯s bitten hand and half of her arm from her body. Bright red blood spurted out. It was not until a few seconds later that the female soldier reacted and screamed in pain. Chapter 79 - 79 It Never Rains but It Pours 79 It Never Rains but It Pours Angelica didn¡¯t have any intention of being tender to the female soldier. Instead, she immediately tore a cloth from the female soldier and covered her wrist. It was a wound that had just been cut. The viewers felt their scalps numb when they saw Angelica covering the wound with a rough cloth. [Damn, it¡¯s too bloody. I don¡¯t dare to look at it!] [Do you know that my body is trembling? I would rather die than suffer this pain!] [Angelica is decisive, but can it prevent the female soldier from being infected?] [The female soldier is miserable. But if she can survive, all this pain is worth it!] [Hiss! It hurts just thinking about it. I¡¯m praising this female soldier for her tolerance!] [The pain should be beyond the limits of the pain a human can bear, right?] The viewers discussed the scene they had just seen and unanimously agreed it was too creepy. In fact, even Angelica¡¯s hands were trembling as she covered the female soldier¡¯s wound. Fortunately, she soon finished bandaging the female soldier. After the countdown ended, the female soldier didn¡¯t transform into a zombie! Although the female soldiers had made it through the catastrophe, it wasn¡¯t the time to celebrate. Zombies were still wreaking havoc in the city. After countless hardships and killing countless zombies, they finally arrived where the helicopter was. However, the helicopter was too close to the ground. When Angelica was going to heave a sigh of relief, she saw the helicopter in the distance being pulled down from the sky by many zombies that jumped out from the roof of the nearby building! Soon, the helicopter lost its balance. It spun and crashed to the ground. The terrifying explosion seemed to have destroyed Angelica¡¯s last hope of leaving the city! [Haha! It¡¯s expected in Su Ping¡¯s game!] [Su Ping is good at torturing people. I¡¯m starting to suspect that he was in charge of interrogating prisoners before he became a game producer.] [Pfft! I¡¯d like to know how much trauma Angelica has. If she continues to like Su Ping after experiencing this, she must be sincere about liking him!] [Boo-hoo! Su Ping has let down a good woman¡¯s true love just like that!] The viewers erupted in joy as they realized that Angelica¡¯s last chance to leave the city had been shattered. Angelica glared at Su Ping as well. Then, she hurried back to the game to run for her life. ¡°Don¡¯t get too excited. Although the helicopter is destroyed, don¡¯t forget that I still have another plane at the airport!¡± ¡°The plane should be fully refueled now. I can escape here just by boarding the plane! Isn¡¯t finding a military base a simple task at that time?¡± Angelica was reluctant to admit the mistake and said when she saw the gloating comments. However, after a while, when Angelica finally reached the airport, she was dumbfounded again. ¡°Where¡¯s the plane? Where¡¯s my plane?!¡± Meanwhile, Angelica had already paused the game and shouted at Su Ping. Su Ping quickly covered his face. He was afraid that Angelica would slap him in anger. The viewers in the live stream room were laughing like a drain when they saw the scene. [Haha! Weren¡¯t you quite confident just now? Why don¡¯t you continue?] [Did the host just mock us for not getting too excited? Can I continue laughing now?] [I¡¯m going to die of laughter. Su Ping, go and prove that Angelica is wrong!] [Pfft! I¡¯d like to call you a model couple!] [Finally, even Angelica can¡¯t stand Su Ping¡¯s repulsive addiction!] Su Ping quickly explained to the angry Angelica. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. Think about it. If you are the person on the plane and find that the entire city has fallen and many zombies are running toward you, will you leave?¡± ¡°Are you willing to wait here for the male lead, whose fate is unknown, or do you want to save your own life first?¡± Angelica found Su Ping¡¯s words made sense. Nevertheless, Angelica still punched Su Ping¡¯s shoulder. Su Ping immediately fell to the ground, pretending to be in pain. ¡°Aah! Why are you still hitting me!¡± Angelica¡¯s delicate face was puffed up in anger as she spoke unhappily. ¡°I just want to hit you. What? Do you want to hit me back?¡± Su Ping shook his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t dare to. Since you can¡¯t kill me, you can hit me if you want.¡± Looking at Su Ping¡¯s cowardly expression, Angelica suddenly laughed again. Su Ping was terrified of Angelica being both angry and happy simultaneously. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve lost your mind after playing my game?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t ask me for compensation for emotional damage. I¡¯m just a poor man!¡± Upon hearing it, Angelica raised her fist again and said fiercely. ¡°Stop putting your foot in your mouth! Are you looking for death!¡± Su Ping shook his head hard. Finally, he stopped talking. However, the viewers suddenly moved to tears. [Are you two not satisfied if you stop being lovey-dovey in front of us?] [I¡¯m going to unsubscribe now. You two disgust me!] [You¡¯re too despicable. Do you have a good conscience for treating the viewers like this?] However, Angelica ignored the comments and re-entered the game to continue her escape. Meanwhile, many people at the airport were looking for a plane since boarding the plane was the only way to leave the city! Many of the passenger planes had managed to flee. The people working in the control tower were in charge. They stayed, even at such a crucial moment. They still chose to work until the very last moment of their lives! However, Angelica was a little late, as most of the planes at the airport had already taken off. Just as Angelica was feeling helpless and despairing¡­ She suddenly realized that there was still a plane that had not taken off and was still in good condition. It was still accelerating on the runway! Angelica immediately made a decision. ¡°Come with me, now! We¡¯ll stop this plane. It¡¯s the only way we can survive!¡± After listening to Angelica¡¯s words, a few NPCs immediately followed behind her. Every few meters along the only path of the plane, the group stood in a line. They then pointed their guns at the plane¡¯s engine! Nobody moved. Even if the plane approached, no one would retreat! Angelica knew very well that if she retreated now, the people on the plane would definitely not stop once they knew she was afraid! And even if she ran away and retreated, she would be bitten to death by zombies even if she wasn¡¯t killed by the plane! She had to find a way out of the impasse! Chapter 80 - 80 The Strange Phenomenon 80 The Strange Phenomenon Angelica¡¯s plan was a success. Finally, the plane¡¯s pilot chose to stop, then lowered a ladder from the cockpit for Angelica and the others to climb up. However, after what had just occurred, the pilot was unfriendly to Angelica and the others and immediately flung them into the passenger cabin. Then, the plane took off, and countless zombies rushed to the airport runway like a tide. However, the plane¡¯s speed became faster and faster. Soon, it took off and flew into the air. Everyone who could board the plane was safe, at least for the time being. ¡°Phew! I¡¯ve finally survived. If I had taken a step back, the plane would have hit me!¡± Angelica said while feeling fortunate. After what had just happened, the viewers changed their attitude again. They were all expressing their admiration for Angelica. [Not bad, host. The way you stop the plane is so cool!] [That¡¯s right! I didn¡¯t expect the host to stop the plane in such a way!] [Haha! I don¡¯t know if there¡¯s a South Asian viewer in the live-stream room. Do you guys do the same thing when taking a train?] [Is the difficulty of catching a train on the same level as intercepting an airplane? The difference is like heaven and earth! There¡¯s no comparison at all!] [Speaking of which, where the next destination of the plane is? Will the plot be automatically triggered, or can the player choose their next destination?] [I¡¯m not sure, but it seems like the pilot doesn¡¯t want to talk to Angelica.] After boarding the plane, Angelica could finally stop fighting the zombies shortly. It was the part of the game that allowed the players to rest. Angelica took the opportunity to help the female soldier who had survived with her to change the dressing on her arm. After all, it was an emergency back then, and Angelica had torn off a piece of cloth and covered the wound without even applying for anti-inflammatory medicine. Now, Angelica could use the first aid kit on the plane to treat the female soldier¡¯s wound to avoid infection. Angelica took off the cloth on the female soldier¡¯s arm and poured a large amount of alcohol directly on the wound. Numerous people in the live stream room felt the same after seeing the female soldier¡¯s agonized expression. [Fuck, it must be killing her!] [I think this pain is worse than a knife cutting her arm off!] [Usually, when I¡¯m injured, even a drop of alcohol will hurt me to death the moment it touches my wound. However, this female soldier bore the pain!] [Although she is just an NPC in a game, I still have to say that I admire her!] [It¡¯s too scary. I¡¯m getting goosebumps all over my body!] Finally, Angelica finished changing the female soldier¡¯s dressing and sat on the sofa next to her, closing her eyes to rest. Meanwhile, Angelica¡¯s mind suddenly recalled the scenes she had seen during her escape. The old man who was drinking beer below the apartment, the old man who was ignored by the zombies below The Gate of God, and the bald, skinny young man who the zombies also ignored¡­ If Angelica had seen one of them, she might not have cared. However, when similar scenes appeared too many times, she began to have doubts. Angelica also told her viewers what she saw. ¡°Do you guys know what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Why did the zombies seem to ignore them? They were like water split apart and ran past those people?¡± The situation immediately attracted the viewers in the live stream room after listening to Angelica¡¯s words. Some of them were unwilling to believe Angelica¡¯s words. [Host, is your eyes playing tricks on you? After all, you were fleeing for your lives back then. Hence, you may have misjudged some of the scenes.] [I think the host must have had an illusion while running. After all, anything could happen in that kind of critical situation.] [I believe in the host¡¯s words. It might be the most crucial clue to clearing this game!] [Have you guys forgotten? The main purpose of leaving the warship this time is to investigate the cause of the virus. Angelica has probably held the most important password!] [I think it can happen. Maybe it is because those people have a smell that the zombies hate, so they don¡¯t want to bite them. It¡¯s just like we don¡¯t like to eat certain food.] [That¡¯s ridiculous. I¡¯d rather believe that there is a bug in the game. The zombies were going to bite them, but they went around them because of a bug.] Soon, the viewers started discussing in the comments, and Angelica interacted with them seriously. However, after looking at the comments for a long time, Angelica couldn¡¯t find any explanation that satisfied her. Meanwhile, a comment finally caught her attention. The commenter seemed to be working in an industry related to infectious diseases. The comment mentioned. [The virus will always choose a healthy host for transmission. This way, it can make sure their host can survive long enough, and the virus can be transmitted to more people.] [I think it¡¯s the most likely point, but I can¡¯t think of why the zombies in the game don¡¯t bite humans.] [I¡¯ll be pleased if my comment is helpful to the host.] Angelica¡¯s eyes were fixed on the comment, and she suddenly thought of something. The health of the host! The virus must guarantee transmission! Angelica recalled the few people she had seen, and none seemed very healthy. The old man sitting in the basement of the apartment building should be a homeless man who might have been infected with some disease. Then there was the emaciated young man. The young man should have suffered a deadly illness if Angelica was right. That explains why he was in such bad shape! ¡°I got it!¡± Suddenly, Angelica shouted excitedly, shocking everyone in the live stream room. The viewers were confused and had no idea what Angelica was talking about. [What do you know?] [Host, can you not speak in riddles? You¡¯re going to lose fans easily with this kind of behavior!] [We are doomed. I think Su Ping has assimilated the host!] [Damn it! Does the host like to tease the viewers so much now?] [Host, tell me your speculation, or I¡¯ll unsubscribe you!] Although the viewers were curious about Angelica¡¯s speculations, she didn¡¯t have time to interact with them. She immediately picked up the satellite phone and dialed Thierry¡¯s number. After the call connected, Angelica asked directly without saying a word. ¡°I¡¯m on a passenger plane taking off from Israel. You should be able to locate my position. Tell me where the nearest medical research institute is!¡± Angelica appeared to be roaring as she spoke aloud. Chapter 81 - 81 Theres No Way to Escape 81 There¡¯s No Way to Escape Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers were still puzzled by Angelica¡¯s actions. They hadn¡¯t connected the strange phenomenon Angelica mentioned to the cause of the zombie crisis. On the other hand, Su Ping had a look of approval in his eyes when he saw what Angelica was doing. After all, Su Ping had watched the movie World War Z, and he knew the reason for the zombie outbreak. He didn¡¯t expect Angelica to be able to find a solution so quickly, just like the male lead in the movie. Of course, Angelica still faced many challenges. She could only go through the game¡¯s test and clear it smoothly by completing all the stages and challenges. Angelica quickly contacted Thierry using the satellite phone and obtained coordination from him. It was a World Health Organization research institution located in Wales. After getting the information, Angelica immediately went to the pilot¡¯s cabin door and placed the satellite phone in front of the camera to prompt the pilot to open the door. The pilots in the cockpit didn¡¯t like Angelica very much because she had forced the plane to stop. However, they still chose to open the door after considering Angelica had a gun. ¡°I suggest you answer this call since the stakes are high.¡± Angelica said seriously. Although the pilot didn¡¯t believe her and threw her a suspicious glance, he took the phone. Soon, the pilot returned the phone to Angelica. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take you to Wales.¡± Angelica nodded in satisfaction and returned to her previous position. The plane also began to adjust its flight direction and headed for the new destination. Then, Angelica¡¯s in-game body started to rest. At this time, Angelica finally could interact with the viewers and explain why she had previously sought out the World Health Organization research institution. [Host, what did you discover? Can you tell us about it?] [Host, don¡¯t keep everything to yourself. Hurry up and tell us why you¡¯re doing this.] Looking at the questions in the comments, Angelica smiled and said. ¡°Do you remember what I told you just now? Something about the few people that the zombies bypassed.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a strange phenomenon. Although there are many explanations, such as me having an illusion, I don¡¯t think I was wrong.¡± ¡°I believe that I can¡¯t make such a rookie mistake.¡± ¡°So I wonder if these people have some similar characteristics, and is it because of these characteristics that cause the zombies to choose to bypass them?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t the behavior of zombies biting people equivalent to the spread of viruses? Since the zombies didn¡¯t hurt them, does it mean that the virus didn¡¯t want to infect them?¡± ¡°Do you guys remember what the virology Ph.D. said to me on the plane?¡± Upon hearing it, the viewers immediately commented. [Haha! I¡¯m not sleepy anymore since you mentioned that unlucky virology Ph.D.!] [Host, you did it on purpose, right? The virology Ph.D. has been dead for a long time. Why are you mentioning him now? Can¡¯t you let him rest in peace!] [The virology Ph.D. said the virus often chooses to infect healthier people to infect more hosts!] [I think I¡¯ve heard such a thing, but what does it have to do with it?] When Angelica saw the correct answer, she smiled and said. ¡°Of course, there¡¯s something to do with it. Think about it. What are the similarities between the three people I described to you?¡± ¡°I believe many viewers already have an answer in their hearts. That¡¯s right! They are weak!¡± ¡°They are a homeless old man who can only sit in the basement of the apartment building, an old man who is clearly at the end of his life, and a bald, skinny young man who is terminally ill and has a weak body.¡± ¡°These people¡¯s health conditions are no longer strong enough to support the spread of the virus. Perhaps in the eyes of the virus, if these people were infected, their fragile bodies wouldn¡¯t last long before the virus became extinct.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why the virus ignored them, which is why the zombies avoided them! Now, do you understand what I¡¯m going to do?¡± Angelica had explained in great detail, and most of the viewers in the live stream room had already understood her. A lot of viewers commented. [So that¡¯s how it is! These World Health Organization research institutions should have stored many pathogens and hazardous viruses. Host, you¡¯re going to use your own body for experiments!] [I got it! The host only needs to inject the pathogen into her body to see if the zombies still want to bite her. Then, she can confirm whether her idea is correct or wrong!] [Host, you¡¯re a genius!] [Oh my goodness! Are you still the Angelica I know? How can you come up with such a perfect plan?!] [The host¡¯s idea is fantastic, but I think Su Ping is impressive to be able to make such a perfect game!] [It turns out you two are the kind of people, so it makes sense that you have similar interests.] When Angelica saw that the viewers finally understood her meaning, she immediately returned to the game. However, Angelica had just opened her eyes half-asleep and immediately sensed something was wrong. Angelica seemed to have heard a boisterous sound coming from the front of the cabin. It seemed that many people were walking around in the cabin. Angelica thought, ¡°The plane is flying smoothly now, but why are so many people walking around in the cabin?¡± Hence, Angelica woke up her female soldier companion next to her, then picked up the weapon in her hand and slowly approached the curtain hanging down in the middle of the cabin. When Angelica made a small hole in the middle of the curtain, she was shocked to see the scene in the middle cabin. The zombie virus had already broken out in the cabin, and Angelica had no idea where the virus came from. Angelica thought, ¡°Can it be that zombies are hidden in the plane and suddenly released?¡± Meanwhile, people in Angelica¡¯s cabin had also noticed the situation, and everyone panicked. There wasn¡¯t even a place for people to escape since they were on a plane! Besides the cockpit pilot, no one could survive in such a situation. The viewers couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter when they saw the scene. [Haha! There¡¯s nowhere to run now!] [There¡¯s no way to escape now. Su Ping, how can you do this!] [This stage has fully demonstrated Su Ping¡¯s repulsive addiction to torturing the players!] Chapter 82 - 82 The Air Crash 82 The Air Crash At this point, the situation was urgently critical. Everyone could say that if the zombies noticed the part of the cabin where Angelica was now, the zombies would come to them and bite everyone to death. At crunch time, Angelica suddenly saw the suitcases on the luggage rack on both sides and had an idea. ¡°I can build a wall with these suitcases. At least it can prevent zombies from coming through the curtain!¡± ¡°As long as everyone keeps quiet, we can hold on until the plane lands!¡± Afterward, Angelica immediately instructed everyone in the cabin to hand her the suitcases on both sides. Soon, a wall made up of luggage appeared at the joint of the two sections of the cabin. Everyone worked together and showed perfect coordination. Everyone seemed safe from the crisis when seeing the wall was built. However, at this moment, someone used too much strength and lost his balance. He accidentally pushed a backpack over the top of the suitcase wall. The backpack fell to the ground with a thud, immediately attracting the attention of all the zombies in the cabin next door. The crisis completely broke out, and the suitcase wall quickly collapsed. It couldn¡¯t stop the zombies¡¯ attack at all. When Angelica saw the situation, she knew she could no longer stop the crisis. She picked up her weapon and returned to the female soldier¡¯s side, constantly attacking the zombies with her weapon. However, there were too many zombies in the cabin because almost all the passengers had been transformed into zombies. ¡°If I do nothing, I¡¯ll definitely die. I can¡¯t sit here and do nothing anymore!¡± Angelica also understood that killing so many zombies on her own was impossible. Meanwhile, Angelica suddenly saw an unused grenade on the female soldier. They were now 10000 meters in the air. The consequences of damaging a plane would be very unpleasant. However, Angelica had no other choice. She could only take a gamble and hope she wouldn¡¯t die in the air crash! Angelica picked up the grenade, decisively pulled off the metal ring, and directly threw the grenade far away. ¡°Boom!¡± With a loud boom, the grenade exploded. It blasted a huge hole in the cabin wall of the plane. The cabin instantly lost pressure. Everything in the cabin, including zombies, was sucked out by a terrible suction force that emerged from the outside. On the other hand, since Angelica and the female soldier had already fastened their seat belts, they weren¡¯t sucked away. The plane crashed in the end. Even though the pilot in the cockpit tried his best to keep the plane balanced, Angelica still fell into a coma. After the battle ended, Angelica immediately paused the game. She needed a good rest. She was taken off guard by the battle that had just broken out. [Host, you¡¯re awesome! You unexpectedly maneuvered the situation!] [I thought the host would be bitten to death. I didn¡¯t expect her to choose to blow up the plane to escape!] [I¡¯d subscribed to the host due to her courage!] [Nice, host! If you survive, I¡¯ll send you a gift!] [Haha! Suppose Mikuya and the others see the host¡¯s actions. In that case, they¡¯ll probably think they¡¯re watching a science fiction movie!] Angelica¡¯s battle scene and her decisiveness in making decisions won the unanimous approval of the viewers. Even Su Ping was impressed. After all, only a few people would notice the grenade at the female soldier¡¯s waist, and only a few people were couraged enough to choose to blow up the plane. If Angelica hesitated for a moment, the zombies would pounce and bite her. However, everyone saw Angelica¡¯s decisiveness. Everyone agreed it was remarkable to make significant decisions in such a short time. Angelica gladly accepted the viewers¡¯ praise. ¡°Hehe! I also think that my operation just now was quite cool. Thank you for your encouragement.¡± However, the viewers¡¯ attitudes suddenly changed when they saw Angelica smile. [Shameless.] [Host, you¡¯re so smug.] [Host, you¡¯re so thick-skinned. You start to smug when we just praise you with a few words!] [It seems we shouldn¡¯t praise the host so casually in the future. Otherwise, the host will get carried away!] [Wait a minute. Why isn¡¯t the host continuing the game? Could it be that the host knows that she will die for sure, so she pretends that the game isn¡¯t over for the sake of her last bit of dignity?] After Angelica saw the comment, she immediately returned to the game to prove herself. Just as Angelica had expected, the game didn¡¯t end. It also meant that her game character didn¡¯t die in the air crash. Although her game character¡¯s body would be severely injured after the air crash, being alive meant everything was possible. As Angelica continued the game, she suddenly felt a dull pain in her waist. Virtual reality games usually protect and reduce the player¡¯s suffering to some degree. It was to prevent players from dying from pain. It was especially so for players with heart or mental illnesses. They would experience extreme pain while playing these games. The pain would likely stimulate the lesions in their bodies, leading to severe effects. Such situations happened during the first release of virtual reality equipment back then. Since then, manufacturers of these devices have been forced to adhere strictly to the requirement that the equipment should lessen the pain to a tolerable level for everyone. Moreover, players could control the level of pain they could bear. For example, some players were naturally afraid of pain and didn¡¯t want to suffer any pain. Then, they could choose to block 100% of the pain! There were advantages and disadvantages, of course. The advantages were that players could enjoy the game without interruption, but the disadvantage was that the immersion would be slightly lessened. Angelica opened her eyes and looked at where the pain was coming from. Angelica saw a metal piece pierce her waist. Moreover, the metal piece was deeply pierced into her waist, almost hitting her abdomen. Angelica took a deep breath and thought, ¡°If I had such a life-threatening injury in real life, I would have been dead long ago.¡± However, it was a game, and the male protagonist¡¯s vitality seemed much stronger than normal people¡¯s. [What?! Angelica¡¯s waist is pierced through, and she¡¯s still alive?!] [I suspect Angelica did something behind the scenes and colluded with Su Ping!] [It¡¯s impossible! How can the host stay alive? She should die from the bleeding!] [The host is fortunate. Even the ambulance will have failed to do anything regarding such kind of injury.] When the viewers saw the terrible injuries on Angelica¡¯s body, they couldn¡¯t help but tease her. However, Angelica didn¡¯t have the time to consider why she was still alive. She was trying to come up with a solution to the predicament. Chapter 83 - 83 Arrive at the Research Institute 83 Arrive at the Research Institute Meanwhile, Angelica was still in her seat under the control of the seat belt, but unfortunately, it was in the air rather than touching the ground. The ground was about two meters below Angelica. It meant that as long as Angelica unbuckled her seat belt, she would fall to the ground! The most important thing was a metal piece was pierced into her waist. If she accidentally touched the wound, the pain would be unbearable. [Shit! It is a dead end. Even though Angelica is still alive, this is no different from death.] [I feel the metal piece will make an even bigger hole in Angelica¡¯s stomach when she falls from above!] [What if there¡¯s a miracle? After all, you all know the relationship between Angelica and Su Ping. It¡¯s easy for her to pull strings with him.] Regarding Angelica¡¯s current situation, most of the millions of viewers in the live stream room didn¡¯t believe she could get off the chair and get to the ground unscathed. If Angelica fell, she would suffer a secondary injury and die. However, Angelica could feel that her strength was rapidly depleting. If she continued to do nothing, she would faint on the chair sooner or later. Therefore, Angelica gritted her teeth and simulated the fall in her mind. When Angelica was ready, she unbuckled her seat belt and rolled her body as she fell, letting the uninjured parts fall to the ground. With a bang, Angelica cried out in pain. She felt the system had almost kicked her out of the game since the pain in her waist was almost beyond what she could tolerate. It was one of the disadvantages of the game being too realistic. It was too painful! Fortunately, Angelica¡¯s tolerance was in exchange for some benefits. She didn¡¯t touch the wound and was still alive! [Hiss! I felt an ache in my waist when I heard Angelica scream earlier!] [Gosh! My body is starting to hurt.] [I am distressed by your situation. Why don¡¯t you stop playing this game? Su Ping is torturing you on purpose!] [After seeing what happened, I have to consider whether I should buy the game!] Angelica¡¯s performance just now was a little too exaggerated and scared the viewers. Su Ping was sitting beside Angelica, watching her play the game, and was aware of the viewers¡¯ reactions. Su Ping knew the viewers were all fence-sitters. Although they all swore that they wouldn¡¯t play the game¡­ However, when the game was released, Su Ping knew they would definitely download it on Steam and play it! After Angelica got down from the chair, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her and was instantly on alert. However, when Angelica turned around, she realized that the person who had made the sound was the female soldier! They were the only two survivors of the entire plane! It was simply a blessing in disguise! [Gosh! The female soldier is still alive!] [It is something that will never happen in real life!] [Finally, Su Ping¡¯s game has something that doesn¡¯t match reality! How can there be such a coincidence!] [That¡¯s great! With the female soldier¡¯s companion, Angelica¡¯s chances of survival have greatly increased!] [Su Ping, you¡¯ve finally found your conscience. You¡¯re willing to lower the difficulty of the game!] The viewers were also stunned to see the female soldier. After all, Su Ping¡¯s games had always been as difficult as they could be. He would only be satisfied when the players were tortured to death. Originally, everyone thought that the female soldier was most likely dead. They didn¡¯t expect her to be alive! The following journey would be easier with a companion to help each other. Afterward, Angelica and the female soldier walked out of the wilderness together. After they passed through a small town and a forest, Angelica finally saw her destination! One of the research institutions of the World Health Organization! Fortunately, the place where the plane had crashed was not far from the research institution. Otherwise, with Angelica¡¯s current physical condition, it would have been impossible for her to make it there. [Finally, they arrived!] [Although I want to see Angelica fail in her game, I¡¯m still very touched to see such a scene for no reason!] [That¡¯s right. This is definitely the most difficult game Su Ping has ever released. I can¡¯t think of anyone besides Angelica who could make it this far on their first attempt without dying!] [Speaking of which, with Angelica¡¯s current strength, she should be considered one of the big shots in the virtual reality gaming industry, right?] [One of the big shots? Are you kidding me? She is clearly the number one!] Meanwhile, there were many regular viewers in the live stream room. Seeing it, everyone could feel that the game was going to end. Moreover, it was already past midnight in reality. By the time the game ended, it would probably be 1 a.m. However, although it was already midnight, the number of concurrent viewers in Angelica¡¯s live stream room had increased instead of decreased! Meanwhile, Angelica¡¯s live stream room had officially surpassed four million concurrent viewers! Such a terrifying number was unprecedented in the live-stream industry¡¯s history! Perhaps the only person who could break the record was Angelica herself! Angelica struggled to reach the World Health Organization research institution¡¯s main entrance. She pressed the doorbell and told the camera she wasn¡¯t infected, hoping the people inside would open the door to help her. After Angelica finished her words, she couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. She immediately felt sleepy, closed her eyes, and fainted. ¡°I¡¯ve finally arrived at the World Health Organization¡¯s research institution! The game should be ending soon. I have to succeed on my first attempt!¡± When Angelica was in a state of unconsciousness, she declared her victory to the viewers in the live stream room. This time, she received a lot of encouragement and support from the viewers. [Good luck!] [Host, you can do it this time!] [Host, believe in yourself! There¡¯s definitely no problem!] After seeing the encouragement from the viewers, Angelica felt energetic. Soon, Angelica¡¯s in-game body woke up. When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a bed in an empty room. Angelica felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. When she slightly raised her head, she realized someone had treated the wound on her abdomen. Angelica wanted to get up to see what was happening, but she suddenly heard a man¡¯s voice. ¡°I suggest you not do that. Otherwise, your wound will be torn open again, making your injury even more severe.¡± Angelica turned around warily and looked at the man at the door. Chapter 84 - 84 The Adventure to Zone B 84 The Adventure to Zone B Looking at Angelica¡¯s guarded expression, the man immediately revealed his identity. He was one of the researchers in the research institute, and he was the one who treated Angelica¡¯s injuries. Angelica had been unconscious for more than three days in the game. Therefore, the first thing Angelica did after waking up was to call Thierry and ask about her family. The only thing that Angelica was worried about was that her family would be in trouble while she was on a mission. If that happened, she would fail the game! As the saying goes, worrying about things that might never happen would increase their chances of happening. After picking up the phone, Angelica discovered her family had been driven off the ship. It was because Angelica hadn¡¯t called for three days, and her phone had been turned off because it had run out of battery. The situation caused the ship workers to believe that Angelica was dead, so they drove her family off the ship. Although Thierry sincerely apologized to Angelica and expressed he couldn¡¯t do anything about it¡­ However, the incident still put Angelica in a terrible mood. The viewers in the live stream room were also shocked by the situation. [Damn! How could they do this?! Even if Angelica died on a mission, she sacrificed her life for the country. How could her family be treated in such a way!] [That¡¯s right! These people are too cruel. I can¡¯t accept it even if it¡¯s the apocalypse!] [Although it sounds absurd, have you ever considered the same thing might happen if a real-life apocalypse resembled the one in the game?] [By the way, what is Su Ping thinking when creating the game? How can his game be so realistic?] [Su Ping¡¯s game is more than just a game. It teaches us life philosophy!] Soon, the viewers began to discuss the matter. However, Su Ping didn¡¯t join them. After all, the system created the game, and it was a copy of the movie¡¯s plot. Su Ping was too embarrassed to claim that he had made the plot. Although nobody knew the truth, Su Ping still felt bad about it. Soon, Angelica¡¯s in-game body slightly recovered. Following that, Angelica met up with several researchers in the research institute and introduced themselves to each other. During their conversation, Angelica revealed her purpose for coming to the research institution. It shocked and confused the researchers. They were unwilling to believe that Angelica had found a solution to the problem. After all, all the researchers were talented students. They had done their best to do countless experiments, but none had succeeded. Angelica then shared the opinions that she had expressed to the viewers on the plane. ¡°I believe if we can inject the fatal pathogen into our bodies, we can disguise ourselves and achieve the goal of being invisible in front of the virus!¡± After Angelica finished her words, everyone in the laboratory suddenly went silent. It was because the method sounded outrageous. But soon, a female researcher suddenly said. ¡°There are indeed such cases in nature¡­¡± After the female researcher finished speaking, she finally approved Angelica¡¯s speculations. ¡°Maybe you¡¯re right. I think it¡¯s worth a try!¡± ¡°We have to find a zombie and inject the pathogen into your body in advance. Then, we¡¯ll let you meet the zombie and see if it bites you!¡± ¡°If the zombies ignore you as you said, it means we¡¯ve succeeded!¡± Although the plan sounded simple, they met a new problem regarding where to get the pathogen. ¡°Back then, one of the researchers at our institute didn¡¯t take any protective measures when studying the zombie virus, which led to the infection.¡± ¡°Hence, the entire Zone B of our research institution has completely fallen. There are about a hundred zombies, and they were all researchers before becoming zombies.¡± ¡°The laboratory that stores the fatal pathogen is located in the deepest part of Zone B!¡± Upon hearing it, Angelica was speechless. However, the viewers in the live stream room were overjoyed. [Haha! What a classic scene! I knew things wouldn¡¯t go so smoothly!] [By the way, Angelica has overcome many challenges to get here. Now, Su Ping stopped her when she was about to succeed. Host, don¡¯t you want to beat him up?] [I think Su Ping is deliberately torturing the players. Guys, don¡¯t buy this new game! Let¡¯s just watch the other play!] [That¡¯s right! The most exciting thing about this kind of game is watching others be tortured. It¡¯s better not to play it yourself!] [Let¡¯s enjoy the show! It¡¯s pretty difficult to fight against more than a hundred zombies!] Angelica paused the game for a while. She rolled her eyes at Su Ping before continuing. Su Ping was innocent as well, and he thought. ¡°I don¡¯t want this to happen either! However, that¡¯s what the original plot was like! What does it have to do with me? I¡¯m innocent!¡± However, Su Ping would never say it out loud, of course. He would never expose his identity as a transmigrator or the system¡¯s existence. Although Zone B was full of zombies, Angelica wouldn¡¯t stop there. What needed to be done still had to be done. Angelica¡¯s next task was to head to Zone B and retrieve the pathogen bottles. Afterward, Angelica began to prepare for battle. She armed herself and the female soldier with weapons she had found. Meanwhile, Angelica was surprised that the male professor she saw when she woke up also chose to join them. [Oh! You have a new teammate. Su Ping is finally being kind!] [Haha! Su Ping finally found his conscience. He gave us another teammate to lower the difficulty!] [Even though there is one more, there are only three of you. Even now, I don¡¯t have much hope for the operation!] Angelica admired the male professor¡¯s courage, and the three of them finished making preparations. Their equipment was a baseball bat, a metal crowbar, and a gun held by the female soldier! Afterward, Angelica asked the other people in the research institution to open the passage to Zone B and sneaked in with her teammates. Before they left, the male professor asked his colleagues to close the door in advance. If they couldn¡¯t come back, they would never open the door! Finally, there was a high chance that the game¡¯s last level had begun! If they could successfully return with the pathogen, Angelica could successfully clear the game! Chapter 85 - 85 Is She Going to Fail at Last Moment? 85 Is She Going to Fail at Last Moment? The three of them passed through the hallway and entered Zone B. Since Zone B had been deserted for a long time, the zombies there were dormant. As long as Angelica and her teammates didn¡¯t make a sound to wake up the zombies, they could sneak in safely. Therefore, the most important requirement of the mission was to maintain absolute silence! However, at the beginning of the operation, the male professor accidentally kicked an unopened can while passing through the cafeteria. The unopened can kept rolling, hitting obstacles on the ground and making sounds. Finally, with a thump, it leaned against the wall. Meanwhile, Angelica and her teammates stood in place, not daring to move. They were extremely nervous and observed whether the zombies were rushing over. Fortunately, their location was far away from the laboratory, so that the zombies couldn¡¯t hear anything. Angelica heaved a sigh of relief. However, the thrilling operation had just begun. Following that, Angelica led her team through the hallway. The room next door was the zombie researcher in a dormant state. The three of them walked under the zombies¡¯ noses and continued to venture deeper into Zone B. Meanwhile, only a few viewers commented in the live stream room because most of the viewers were attentively watching Angelica play the game. [Kindly be reminded that every viewer can breathe. There¡¯s no need to hold your breath!] [It¡¯s so exciting! I think this stage is the most challenging and exciting of the game!] [I feel like my heart is about to jump out of my chest. Oh my goodness! It¡¯s too scary!] [I¡¯ve already snuggled into my bed. Otherwise, I¡¯m worried that I¡¯ll be scared to death!] [Host, be careful. Don¡¯t make any noise, or you¡¯ll be the sinner!] Meanwhile, Angelica wasn¡¯t in the mood to pay attention to the live stream room¡¯s comments. She was completely focused on the game. However, an accident still occurred, and it was the male professor who caused the accident! When he passed through the entrance of a research lab and turned a corner in the hallway, he slightly put his guard down and overlooked a car in the hallway. As a result, when he turned around, the metal crowbar in his hand hit the car. ¡°Ding!¡± The sound wasn¡¯t loud. However, since Zone B was silent at the moment, the environment infinitely amplified the sound and caused it to reach the point of being harsh. The next moment, Angelica heard the roars of zombies coming from not far away. She knew the three of them had been exposed, and the zombies were about to wake up! ¡°Run for your lives!¡± Angelica shouted. Since they didn¡¯t have to keep quiet anymore, the most important thing was to escape. As they passed a fork, Angelica suddenly noticed a road sign indicating the laboratory¡¯s direction on the wall. Hence, Angelica had an idea and asked her teammates to act separately from her. Angelica let her teammates go to the laboratory to get the pathogen, and she would lure the zombies away! Afterward, Angelica picked up the crowbar in her hand and knocked on the metal objects around her, making a loud sound to attract the zombies¡¯ attention. Angelica kept running. Ultimately, she hid behind a laboratory door to block all the zombies outside. Angelica finally heaved a sigh of relief and slightly relaxed. However, Angelica was shocked to find her current location. ¡°What¡¯s going on? I remember I asked the female soldiers and the doctor to get the pathogen, right? How come I¡¯m the one who¡¯s at the entrance of the laboratory?¡± At that moment, Angelica looked at the label above her head. The laboratory in front of her was her destination. Angelica had no idea where her teammates had gone. Angelica guessed that something must have happened to cause them couldn¡¯t reach the laboratory. The live stream room viewers didn¡¯t expect Angelica to have been running away all the time without choosing a route. Ultimately, she accidentally ran to the laboratory door and found the right place! The laboratory was no different from a pie falling from the sky! [There must be a skeleton in the closet!] [I don¡¯t believe that the host has such good luck. Someone must have done something behind the scenes!] [Host, have you played the game before? Did you memorize the route of the research institution?] [Hmph! I¡¯ll never believe in the host and Su Ping¡¯s words again!] [You two are full of craft and guile. You¡¯re working together to deceive the viewers, aren¡¯t you?] Su Ping immediately explained to the viewers. ¡°I can guarantee with integrity that it¡¯s Angelica¡¯s first time playing the game!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t give her any advance instructions for the game!¡± Nothing would happen if Su Ping didn¡¯t explain the situation. However, the number of comments doubled as soon as he did. All comments were of the same caliber, as if someone was controlling them behind the scenes. [Do you have integrity?] [Jesus! Su Ping thinks he still has a good character and can vouch for him?] [Haha! It must be the funniest joke I¡¯ve heard this year!] Su Ping was speechless when he saw the comments teasing him. He couldn¡¯t help but think, ¡°Since when did I have such a bad character in their eyes?¡± ¡°They even tease me that I have no integrity?!¡± On the other hand, Angelica had entered the laboratory in the game. However, the warehouse that stored the pathogens had a password door, which caused Angelica couldn¡¯t enter. Meanwhile, the phone on the wall rang. [Boo-hoo! The host¡¯s incompetent teammates are finally starting to play their role!] [If it isn¡¯t for that male professor creating all sorts of noise, the host might have already completed the mission and gone back!] [Su Ping has finally done something good!] The viewers in the live stream room were touched when they heard the phone ring. After all, with Su Ping¡¯s usual style, the viewers thought Angelica would have made the trip in vain. Soon, Angelica obtained the password to the door through the phone. After entering the password, she successfully entered the warehouse where the pathogen was stored. Then, Angelica found a metal box and put all the bottles and jars that might contain fatal pathogens into the box. After a short while, the metal box was filled. As long as Angelica brought it back to Zone A, she could complete the mission! However, just as Angelica turned around and was about to leave with the box. ¡°Thump!¡± A zombie appeared outside the door and was staring at Angelica, growling. Angelica was stuck in the warehouse. Meanwhile, the viewers in the live stream room stopped commenting. All of them thought, ¡°What should Angelica do now?¡± ¡°Is she going to fail at the very last moment?¡± Chapter 86 - 86 The Game of Luck 86 The Game of Luck [What should Angelica do now? If she opens the door, can she defeat the zombie?] [Let¡¯s not talk about whether she can defeat it or not. Even if she can kill the zombie barehanded, the fight will attract other zombies in Zone B here. By then, she will be killed!] [Sigh. I didn¡¯t expect Angelica to fail at the last stage. I thought the game was going to end smoothly with the metal box. It¡¯s just like a joke of fate!] [Where¡¯s Su Ping? Su Ping, go and save Angelica! She is in danger!] Most live stream room viewers were pessimistic about Angelica¡¯s current situation. The storage room Angelica was in was very small, and there was only one door for her to escape. Once Angelica opened the door, she had no choice but to kill the zombie in front of the door. However, it would cause the other zombies to notice Angelica, and all rushed to trap her to death. There was some kind of hidden connection between the zombies. The zombies could sense their companions being attacked. Therefore, there was only one path left for Angelica! Angelica¡¯s face turned pale when she looked at the zombie at the door. She obviously didn¡¯t expect such a twist in the situation to happen. Angelica lowered her head and looked at the metal box in her hand. It was filled with all kinds of bottles and jars. Each bottle¡¯s different colors of translucent liquid were packed with numerous germs or viruses. Furthermore, the pathogen stored in the warehouse was the most harmful to the human body in the world! Many of them were pathogens that caused many incurable diseases! Angelica returned to the table and placed the metal box on the table. She picked up the bottles and jars with her hands and studied the labels. Meanwhile, the viewers knew Angelica¡¯s plan. [It can¡¯t be. Angelica can¡¯t be thinking of using her own body for experiments, right?] [Although it sounds like a gamble, it¡¯s a game, after all. Even if Angelica loses, she can just restart the game!] [That makes sense, but I think it¡¯s too much. Opening the door and fighting the zombies will be better than dying in such a way.] [Angelica, we support you. It¡¯s time to show your true strength!] Some comments hoped Angelica would try to use the pathogens, while others encouraged her to go out and fight the zombies. In their opinion, even if Angelica failed, she would die on the battlefield, which looked more heroic than staying in the warehouse and being poisoned by the virus. Su Ping was also observing Angelica¡¯s actions. He was also curious about Angelica¡¯s decision. Soon, Angelica answered with her actions. She took a few glass bottles in her fingers and focused as she read the instructions. Although Angelica couldn¡¯t understand most of the terminology, she could guess its meaning with the vocabulary she had previously learned. A few minutes later, Angelica finally chose a pink glass bottle. The liquid inside looked harmless. However, it could very well be fatal! Anyone who came into contact with a single drop of it could be infected with fatal viruses and die of illness. Although it was just a game, the situation was like Angelica playing Russian roulette. The scene made the viewers in the live stream room feel excited. Angelica said indifferently in the live stream room. ¡°Everyone, please pray for me!¡± After speaking, Angelica picked up the syringe and inserted it into the pink glass bottle. She took out all the liquid in the bottle and injected it into the vein on her arm. Angelica looked extremely calm during the process. It was as if she wasn¡¯t injecting herself with pathogens. Although it was just a virtual reality game, Su Ping¡¯s games had always been so realistic that the players would be completely immersed in it and even forget that they were just playing it. Meanwhile, Angelica was in such a state of mind. She didn¡¯t want to fail and restart the game. She wanted to succeed on the first try! Angelica had never lost one of Su Ping¡¯s games before! It would be the same this time! After the injection, everyone in the live stream room held their breath and looked at Angelica, sitting on the ground. [Although Angelica isn¡¯t fighting with zombies, I feel the waiting process is much more exciting than fighting!] [That¡¯s right! I feel like time is moving so slowly! What is the thing that Angelica just injected? Does anyone know what it is?] [I¡¯m not sure. I¡¯m afraid that even those who study in the relevant fields can¡¯t recognize it since it is the fatal pathogen from the World Health Organization warehouse!] [I have a vague impression of it, but I forgot about it after I graduated from college. Haha!] Now, it was time to wait. The warehouse where the virus was stored was solid, and only one zombie was outside. As the door was closed, Angelica didn¡¯t have to worry about the zombie breaking in. Hence, she didn¡¯t have to concentrate fully on the game all the time. Therefore, Angelica decided to hang up the game. She took off the equipment to return to reality and sat in front of the computer. ¡°Guys, what do you think is the probability of me surviving?¡± Angelica asked as she looked at the comments. After hearing the question, the viewers immediately expressed their opinions in the comments. [Less than 10%, I think. I remember the female researcher said that 60% of the pathogens stored here are fatal.] [It¡¯s a narrow escape. It all depends on luck now!] [If the host survives, I will gift the host a spaceship!] [Hey brother, I¡¯ve already taken a screenshot of your comment. Don¡¯t go back on your word later!] [Haha! I¡¯m waiting for him to gift the host a spaceship. I think the host and Su Ping have tricked you. Don¡¯t you know how guile they are?] [You¡¯re so silly. Since they are doing the live stream as a couple, they have already planned how to make the show interesting!] Looking at the discussion going off-topic, Angelica didn¡¯t stop the viewers¡¯ discussion. Angelica blushed, and her heart raced when she saw the viewers discussing such topics. She couldn¡¯t help but secretly look at Su Ping¡¯s expression. Time slowly passed, and not long after, ten minutes had actually passed. In the game, it should have been at least several hours. Chapter 87 - 87 The Miracle of Life 87 The Miracle of Life ¡°It should be about time. Since the warehouse is filled with fatal pathogens, my in-game body should be able to react within a few hours.¡± ¡°Now, I¡¯m going to return to the game and see how my in-game body is doing!¡± As soon as Angelica finished speaking, her words immediately attracted the viewers¡¯ attention. Everyone was curious about whether Angelica had won this time! As Angelica returned to the game, she slowly opened her eyes and got used to the bright lights in the warehouse. [Since you can reconnect the game, your game character is still alive!] [Hurry and check if there¡¯s anything wrong with your body.] The viewers urged impatiently. Angelica nodded and stood up to move her numb body. Angelica looked at her arms and legs, then pinched her whole body. However, she didn¡¯t feel any discomfort. Angelica said in surprise. ¡°I¡¯ve succeeded! My body is doing fine! Haha! I didn¡¯t inject a lethal poison!¡± Upon hearing it, the viewers were shocked and marveled at Angelica¡¯s good luck. [What the heck?! The host has good luck for not being dead!] [I acknowledge the host¡¯s good luck. The host is definitely the luckiest streamer on Youtube!] [There must be something behind this. Su Ping must have told you in advance which pathogen is safe!] [That¡¯s right! How can there be such a coincidence? Host, just admit that you¡¯ve discussed everything with Su Ping!] Angelica had always turned a blind eye to some of the unreasonable comments. She tidied up her clothes and put the bottles on the table back into the metal box. Meanwhile, she was about to do something no one had ever dared. Nobody had ever tried it in any game. It was to face the zombies without any protective measures! Countless viewers in the live stream room had the same feeling as Angelica. They felt their hearts beating faster and faster. ¡°I¡¯m going to open the warehouse door. If the zombie outside doesn¡¯t bite me, I¡¯ve succeeded!¡± Angelica¡¯s voice was trembling slightly. She was extremely excited, but she pretended to be calm. Angelica slowly walked to the door of the warehouse. Meanwhile, the zombie outside was still knocking on the door with its head. However, even after so long, the door showed no signs of damage. Angelica took a deep breath, put her hand on the button on the side, and smacked it hard. ¡°Pfft!¡± Angelica heard the sound of air pressure, and the door slowly opened. Everyone held their breath, feeling as if their hearts were about to jump out of their chests. Finally, the door was fully opened, and the zombie outside walked in. The zombie clattered its teeth while walking inside, constantly looking around as if it was looking for prey. If the zombie had self-awareness, it might be perplexed. The zombie might think, ¡°There is a prey who just entered this place, but why it suddenly disappeared?¡± The zombie gradually came in front of Angelica, and she could even smell the rotten smell coming from the zombie. However, a miracle happened at this moment. The zombie didn¡¯t pounce on Angelica fiercely but acted as if it didn¡¯t see her. The situation was just like what Angelica had described to the viewers. The zombie bypassed her and continued walking into the warehouse. Angelica pressed her body against the cabinet next to her and made way for the zombie. Then, she suppressed her violent heartbeat and walked out of the warehouse as calmly as possible. She pressed the button again, and the door closed again. The zombie inside heard the noise from behind and wanted to go out. However, it was locked in the warehouse by a closed door. Supposedly, the scene should be solemn, but when the viewers see Angelica had turned the tables and locked the zombie in the warehouse¡­ The viewers couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. [Haha! Why do I feel the zombie is a little pitiful? It was standing outside perfectly fine, but it suddenly got locked up after going inside!] [That¡¯s right! The zombie is so unlucky to have met Angelica, who cheated!] [I didn¡¯t expect that Angelica would succeed! Surprisingly, she found the ultimate way to deal with zombies!] [I¡¯m looking forward to experiencing what Angelica felt just now. It must be amazing!] [I think I won¡¯t be afraid of zombies anymore after playing this game!] The viewers couldn¡¯t help but express their opinions. When Angelica opened the door just now, everyone¡¯s nerves were tense. Now that everything had finally taken a turn, everyone naturally couldn¡¯t wait to vent the stress in their hearts. Angelica said smilingly, ¡°Haha! The zombie is indeed unlucky. However, don¡¯t worry, little zombie, I¡¯ll help you bury your corpse the next time I come back!¡± After Angelica finished her words, she held the box in her hand and walked out of the laboratory. She walked as if she were taking a stroll in her yard, heading towards the hallway of Zone A. Along the way, all the zombies that Angelica saw acted as if they couldn¡¯t see her. They were so well-behaved that it made her dumbfounded. These zombies had returned to their dormant state. They wouldn¡¯t react even if they heard Angelica¡¯s footsteps. They seemed to have treated Angelica as an animal passing by, not a human they could infect. In front of millions of viewers in the live stream room, Angelica returned to the restaurant where she was in the beginning. Suddenly, Angelica remembered that the male professor seemed to have accidentally kicked an unopened can when they first came here. It seemed to be a bottle of soda. Angelica looked around for a while and found a beverage vending machine next to the counter. ¡°Hehe, I¡¯ll reward myself with a bottle of Coca-Cola!¡± Angelica smiled smugly. She reached out and pulled up a valve next to the vending machine. After that, the sound of cans dropping could be heard in the quiet canteen. Large amounts of soft drinks fell from the machine. Angelica picked up one of them, opened the can, and took a big gulp. She even burped after drinking it. The sound from the cafeteria alerted the zombies that had followed the male professor to the hallway connecting the two laboratory areas, and they sped there. Angelica drank the soft drink in her hand as she walked in the middle of the road with the metal box in her arms as if nobody was around. Chapter 88 - 88 The One Week Promise 88 The One Week Promise No matter how fast the zombies ran or how scary they looked. However, each time they were ready to strike Angelica, her body acted like a magnet with the same magnetic pole, repelling them. It made the zombies split up in advance and bypass Angelica on both sides. The amazing scene once again stunned the millions of viewers watching the live stream. [Fuck! It¡¯s too awesome! When will this game be released on Steam? I can¡¯t help but want to download it and try it out!] [Su Ping, please upload the game¡¯s installation package! I¡¯ll buy it even if it¡¯s twice as expensive as usual!] [I want to have the same experience as Angelica. I also want to be invincible in front of zombies!] [I¡¯m really envious. In other zombie games, humans have to hide and move around like a group of sewer rats, surviving in the gaps between zombies. This game has definitely created a new style!] [I¡¯m not exaggerating. This game is definitely an epoch-making work in the zombie open-world games!] Meanwhile, all the players knew that the game was over, and they only needed to do some finishing work. Therefore, everyone discussed the lessons and values of the game seriously. They even compared it with other similar games. The result of the discussion in the comments was that World War Z was the best zombie open-world game! Finally, Angelica returned to Zone A of the research institution, where she met many researchers who welcomed her. Angelica had brought back the fatal pathogens. After everyone celebrated, a pop-up window appeared not long after. ¡°Do you want to proceed with the game¡¯s countdown?¡± Angelica was slightly puzzled. Although she carefully read it, she had no idea what it was for. Then, she clicked ¡°confirm¡±. In the next second, she lost control of her character and was in the third-person view. When the viewers saw the scene, they began to condemn Angelica in the comments, and some viewers even teased her. [Host, are you stupid? You can click ¡°decline¡±. If you click ¡°confirm¡±, the game will immediately end!] [I surrender. Initially, I expect you to explore other places in this world. How come you can finish the game so fast?] [Sigh, it¡¯s boring. You shouldn¡¯t be in a hurry to proceed with the game¡¯s countdown since you finally cleared the game!] The viewers were just like backseat drivers. The viewers condemned Angelica in the comments before she could say anything. However, Angelica laughed and said while looking at the comments. ¡°Haha! Everyone, please calm down. The game will be released on Steam sooner or later, anyway. You can just download it and play it by yourself.¡± ¡°According to my experience, the world of this game must be huge. Su Ping might have built a world as big as the real world.¡± ¡°Even if I didn¡¯t proceed on the game¡¯s countdown just now, I definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to explore the entire world.¡± ¡°Since it¡¯s already 2 a.m., I¡¯m not going to stay up all night with everyone.¡± As soon as Angelica finished her words, the viewers in the live stream room realized that it was already 2 a.m.! Angelica had taken six hours to finish the game without anyone knowing! It was almost the total time of playing the entire Zombie Apocalypse series! After comforting the viewers in the live stream room, Angelica returned to the game. The game¡¯s plot was already loading, and it seemed to have happened after she left the World Health Organization¡¯s research institution. According to the information given by the game¡¯s plot, Angelica had found a way to become invisible in front of zombies, thus helping humans find the key to fighting against zombies. The people who had been vaccinated took to the streets. They no longer had to worry about being attacked by zombies. Therefore, people began to pick up their weapons and use their voices to lure the zombies together. Then, they used flames or other methods to burn all the zombies to death! A large-scale zombie-clearing operation had begun! Even though the game¡¯s plot was brief and its scenes were few, everyone was attracted by it and became rather addicted to it. The game ended directly due to Angelica pressing the ¡°confirm¡± button. However, what if she pressed ¡°decline¡±? Would the players be able to join and become part of the zombie-killing team, just like in the scene shown in the plot? The viewers were excited just thinking about it. [Su Ping, I¡¯m giving you one week to release World War Z on Steam!] [How much is World War Z going to cost? Please tell me the price so I can save money in advance!] [Aah! I can¡¯t sleep if I can¡¯t play this game!] [Su Ping, hurry up and say something. Don¡¯t keep everyone in suspense!] Meanwhile, the charm of World War Z had made everyone unable to control their inner desires. Everyone was hoping they could download the game from Steam as soon as possible. They hoped they could put on their equipment and play the game immediately! Although Angelica tried her best to calm the players down and tell them not to be too anxious, it seemed useless. Angelica also felt helpless about the situation. ¡°Su Ping, I can¡¯t take it anymore. The viewers won¡¯t listen to me at all. Why don¡¯t you come and talk to them?¡± ¡°They just want to hear a certain answer from you.¡± Su Ping accepted Angelica¡¯s suggestion with pleasure. Su Ping knew that if he remained quiet tonight, the viewers would probably turn Angelica¡¯s live stream into a mess. Furthermore, the next few days may not be peaceful. Su Ping took the microphone and spoke after some thought. ¡°Everyone, please don¡¯t be anxious. As you can see, the game is already completed.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve overlooked everyone¡¯s enthusiasm for the game, so I take back what I said.¡± ¡°The game will be released as soon as possible. I guarantee that everyone will be able to play the game within a week!¡± ¡°As for the game¡¯s price, I need to negotiate with Steam¡¯s employees to come up with the most suitable price.¡± ¡°When the time comes, I hope everyone can support my game!¡± Chapter 89 - 89 We Are Just Friends 89 We Are Just Friends Everything Su Ping had said in Angelica¡¯s live stream room at 2 a.m. caused the netizens to be in chaos. His words were quickly spread on the internet by countless viewers. Even though Angelica ended the live stream not long after, hundreds of thousands of people were online simultaneously. They had already treated the live stream¡¯s comment section as an online chat room. Meanwhile, World War Z started to be popular on the internet. It seemed like it wasn¡¯t 2 a.m. but more like prime time. Millions and even tens of millions of netizens were insomnia that night. They were surfing the internet excitedly, trying to collect as much information as possible about World War Z. Many people also uploaded the video of Angelica¡¯s live stream to the internet, which attracted countless people to watch. All kinds of exclamations were heard in everyone¡¯s rooms. When everyone saw the video of World War Z in front of their computers, they were shocked. [Oh my goodness! Is this really a game? Isn¡¯t it a movie?!] [It is expected from Su Ping. Su Ping is the greatest game producer of the era!] [It doesn¡¯t matter whether Su Ping could continue producing high-quality games. Undoubtedly, everyone has acknowledged him as the God of games!] [Steam and Storm Gaming Company are nothing compared to Su Ping!] [Speaking of which, how much will the price of World War Z be? Will the price of the game increase because Su Ping is famous?] [So what? It¡¯s alright for the price to be higher! It is such a good game and deserves to be more expensive. Even if the game¡¯s price is a thousand dollars, I¡¯m still willing to buy it even if I have to tighten my belt!] [Brother, you¡¯re ruthless. I¡¯m the same as you. Although I¡¯m a student, I can¡¯t miss such a good game!] The netizens were still discussing World War Z, which had just been exposed on the internet early in the morning. Everyone was looking forward to Su Ping¡¯s promise. Within a week, everyone would be able to play World War Z! Although World War Z became increasingly popular on the internet, Su Ping didn¡¯t pay much attention to it. It was because Su Ping had expected that he would be more and more popular since the day he was bound to the system. Therefore, keeping a calm mind when dealing with popularity was crucial. It had been more than ten minutes since Angelica ended her stream. Su Ping planned to return to his house after she ended her stream. However, after Su Ping used an app to call a taxi, he waited for a long time. There wasn¡¯t a single taxi around to pick up his order. ¡°Why don¡¯t I just walk back? After all, it isn¡¯t too far anyway. I¡¯ll just take it as going out for some fresh air.¡± Su Ping stood up and was about to leave. However, Angelica stopped him. Su Ping looked at Angelica in surprise. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became ambiguous. Actually, Su Ping could feel that Angelica¡¯s feelings for him had gone from being a simple business partner to something else. Now, the relationship between the two was above that of friends, but not lovers. Angelica was interested in Su Ping, and Su Ping was also interested in Angelica. Not only did Angelica have a good personality, but she was also beautiful. The key was that apart from these two points, Angelica also liked playing games! Being a pretty girl and liked playing games were enough to make any boy interested in her! Who wouldn¡¯t want to have a cute girlfriend who could stay at home and play games with them? She was the perfect partner that many otakus dreamed of. However, Su Ping knew that it wasn¡¯t the right time yet. It would be better to express their feelings for each other at the right time. Angelica looked at Su Ping and said shyly, blushing. ¡°Well, it¡¯s already quite late today, and you can¡¯t even get a taxi.¡± ¡°It¡¯s very dangerous to go back at this time. You can stay at my house for the night. I¡¯ll tidy up the guest room for you. What do you think?¡± Su Ping kept silent and looked at Angelica. The lights in the living room were bright, but Angelica¡¯s petite face was getting redder and redder in Su Ping¡¯s eyes, making him want to take a bite. Angelica kept her head down. However, she could clearly feel ardent gazes staring at her. She didn¡¯t even dare to look up. She couldn¡¯t even imagine what would happen if she made eye contact with Su Ping. Since she was a young girl, she had never been in a relationship. Most of the time, her relationships with the boys she knew were akin to those of brothers. It had to do with Angelica¡¯s personality. That was why no boy had ever confessed to her. Naturally, she had never been in a relationship. Meanwhile, Angelica¡¯s heart was beating wildly. She couldn¡¯t help but think, ¡°Is this the feeling of being in love?¡± Suddenly, Su Ping spoke, and it startled Angelica. ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll have to trouble you tonight.¡± It took a while for Angelica to realize that Su Ping had left. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked toward the guest room carefully. ¡°He didn¡¯t seem to think much¡­¡± For some reason, Angelica suddenly felt a sense of loss. Su Ping¡¯s actions made Angelica feel more at ease, but she secretly expected a romantic development. ¡°What are you thinking, Angelica? You and Su Ping are just friends!¡± Angelica shook her head violently and whispered to herself in her heart. That night, Su Ping stayed at Angelica¡¯s house. Since he had stayed there before, nothing awkward happened. Su Ping still remembered the last time he spent a night in Angelica¡¯s house because the Zombie Apocalypse I he had given her had scared her. Angelica called him in the middle of the night and asked him to go over and accompany her. Su Ping put on a benevolent smile?? when he thought of the things that had happened between them. He didn¡¯t even notice the change. It was a quiet night. It was already 8 a.m. when the next day¡¯s sun shone on Su Ping through the window. In his sleep, Su Ping suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. In his half-awake state, he seemed to hear Angelica¡¯s excited voice. ¡°Su Ping! Su Ping! Get up and check the forum.¡± ¡°World War Z is ranked first on the forum search list!¡± Chapter 90 - 90 Being the First Place on the Trending List for Free 90 Being the First Place on the Trending List for Free In the end, the drowsy Su Ping was woken up by Angelica. Su Ping couldn¡¯t help but think that Angelica was good in every way except that she was too lively! After washing up, Su Ping went to the dining room. Angelica had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast. There was milk, bread, french fries, a sandwich, and coffee. It was like a sumptuous buffet. Meanwhile, Angelica wore a small white apron and looked like a virtuous wife and loving mother. The early morning sun lit up the dining room, and the sunlight formed pillars of light in the air, forming a dreaming scene. Su Ping also felt a touch of warmth and happiness. He even wished that time would stop so he could stay in this moment forever. In this way, he could preserve his happiness forever. Angelica turned around and saw Su Ping staring at her dazedly. She blushed at once. ¡°You¡­ Why are you keep staring at me? Is there something on my face?¡± Angelica lowered her head slightly and said in embarrassment. Finally, Su Ping returned to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure. He changed the topic, feeling embarrassed. ¡°Haha! I am just thinking about something, so I was a little distracted.¡± ¡°Besides, you¡¯re so good-looking. What¡¯s wrong with me taking a few more glances at you? Can¡¯t I do it?¡± Suddenly, Su Ping became confident, which caught Angelica by surprise. Although Angelica looked extroverted during her live stream, she had always been shy when facing the boys in private. When Angelica saw Su Ping being straightforward, her blushed cheeks immediately turned red. Even her soft little ears turned pink. Su Ping couldn¡¯t move his eyes away. He even had the urge to pinch her ears, but he held back. After all, the two of them were just friends. He could only imagine everything in his mind. As for when they would cross the line, Su Ping had no idea. Neither did Angelica. The two of them were constantly trying to figure out how to get along with each other. Meanwhile, Su Ping finally brought up what Angelica had told him when she woke him up. ¡°You told me to check the forum search list, right? What¡¯s wrong with it?¡± Su Ping was confused and asked. Angelica took a sip of milk and easily swallowed the bread in her mouth. Then, she picked up her phone, opened a web page, and showed it to Su Ping. ¡°Look, what¡¯s written on the hottest topic on the forum search list?¡± Angelica said with a smile, looking quite proud. Su Ping took a look. The title of the hottest topic on the forum search list only had three words, but they looked familiar to him. It was World War Z! Su Ping was surprised to see the title. Last night, he had just given Angelica the game to try out in advance. He hadn¡¯t bought any traffic for publicity. He didn¡¯t hire any platforms or media to promote the game. However, in just one night¡­ World War Z¡¯s popularity surprisingly reached its peak and became the hottest topic on the forum search list without any publicity measures! The second headline was a scandal of a top star. It was said that the celebrity now had hundreds of millions of fans on Youtube, but now it seemed that people overestimated the number of the celebrity¡¯s fans. Su Ping couldn¡¯t help but chuckle at the second headline on the search list. ¡°The second headline is definitely buying traffic. I guess that the people who bought the traffic are probably crying in the toilet. Haha!¡± Su Ping was gloating since he had never felt anything for famous stars. ¡°To celebrate your first place on the trending list. I¡¯ll add an egg for breakfast today!¡± While speaking happily, Angelica put an egg on Su Ping¡¯s plate in an exaggerated manner. Suddenly, Angelica was curious and asked while they were having breakfast. ¡°Su Ping, what kind of game are you going to make after World War Z? Are you still going to continue with the Zombie Apocalypse series?¡± ¡°Can you tell me a little bit in advance? I promise I won¡¯t let it slip in the live stream!¡± Angelica¡¯s eyes seemed to have stars in them as she spoke. Su Ping had tens of millions of fans worldwide, but Angelica was probably the most passionate one. Especially when a new game was released, Angelica would always be the first to play it! Su Ping answered without much thought, ¡°The new game should be the Zombie Apocalypse series.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve planned to make six games in the Zombie Apocalypse series. I¡¯ve already finished half of them, and three more are left.¡± ¡°After the Zombie Apocalypse series is over, there should be a new series. I already have some ideas in mind. Just keep looking forward to it. I won¡¯t let you down!¡± Su Ping¡¯s confidence made Angelica look forward to his following games even more. Moreover, when she heard that there were six games in the Zombie Apocalypse series, she was so shocked that her little mouth opened so wide that it could almost fit an egg. ¡°Wow! There are three more games to play. Hehe! I¡¯ll be the first to play them, right?¡± Angelica said with a smile. Su Ping nodded and said, ¡°Of course. You¡¯ll definitely be unhappy if I let someone else play first, right?¡± Angelica chuckled. She was like a young girl in her teens who was in love and couldn¡¯t hide her thoughts. Su Ping was ready to leave Angelica¡¯s place after breakfast. Since he had already promised all the viewers in the live stream room in the early morning that he would release World War Z on Steam within a week¡­ Su Ping would keep his word. Otherwise, Su Ping believed that with his huge number of fans, if he went back on his word and went against the promise he had made in the early morning, he might receive all sorts of blades from his fans. Moreover, there was a possibility that some fans would find his address and meet him in real life. If that happened, that would be too scary! A week was a short time, but many things could be done. Su Ping was confident that he could upload World War Z on Steam on time. After all, Steam was eager to see him release more games. Hence, they wouldn¡¯t make things hard for him while he uploaded the game. The first thing Su Ping did when he got home was to contact Steam¡¯s employees and discuss the work related to World War Z. He wanted to finish it as soon as possible. To fulfill the wishes of the fans! Chapter 91 - 91 The Super VIP of Steam 91 The Super VIP of Steam As soon as he got home from Angelica¡¯s place, Su Ping contacted the marketing manager of Steam, who was in charge of releasing new games. The person had contacted Su Ping when Steam had tried to win him over. Since then, Su Ping has memorized his contact information. He didn¡¯t expect to use the string of numbers so soon. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Steam¡¯s marketing manager. May I know who you are looking for?¡± The call went through quickly. The other party asked about Su Ping¡¯s identity politely. ¡°I¡¯m Su Ping!¡± After Su Ping finished his words, he seemed to hear the marketing manager take a deep breath from the other end of the phone as if he was very shocked. ¡°Hello, are you still there?¡± Su Ping was worried that something might have happened to him. Fortunately, the marketing manager replied quickly. Otherwise, Su Ping would have to call an ambulance for him. ¡°Oh! It¡¯s Mr. Su. Hello, of course, I¡¯m here. May I know why you¡¯re calling me today?¡± ¡°Do you want to join Steam officially? I can guarantee that all the conditions our platform has stated before are still in effect.¡± ¡°Also, as your recent games have become more influential, we will also provide you with more resources based on your influence!¡± ¡°I guarantee you will become the most famous game producer in the world. I will also maintain the independence of your game creation and will not interfere with your production!¡± Apparently, the marketing manager had misunderstood Su Ping¡¯s meaning. He thought Su Ping was calling to join Steam. Su Ping chuckled and told them his purpose. ¡°You¡¯ve misunderstood me. I called you today mainly to discuss the release of my new game with your platform.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you watch Angelica¡¯s live stream yesterday morning?¡± The marketing manager said apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Su. Can you tell me what happened in her live stream?¡± Su Ping explained patiently. ¡°It¡¯s like this. I¡¯ve made a new game called World War Z. If you log into the forum now, you should be able to see its name at the top of the search list.¡± ¡°I promised the players in the live stream yesterday that I¡¯ll release the game on your platform within a week, so I wanted to contact you in advance today to discuss the matter.¡± ¡°Do you have time now?¡± The marketing manager on the other end of the phone was so happy that he almost fainted after he heard Su Ping¡¯s words. He didn¡¯t expect such a good thing to fall from the sky so early in the morning. Su Ping¡¯s new game! It was an excellent thing for Steam! The marketing manager remembered the president¡¯s order at the recent internal meeting. Steam had to pay the most attention to Su Ping! Steam must complete anything related to Su Ping with the highest priority! Besides, no matter what Su Ping¡¯s request was, Steam could not deny it. No matter how unreasonable the request was, Steam had to respect Su Ping! Obviously, Su Ping had a high status in Steam! ¡°Oh! Of course, I have time. Should we discuss the matter face to face or through video call?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine with anything here. No matter your request, it won¡¯t be a problem!¡± Su Ping thought about it and decided to discuss it with Steam through video calls. At 2 p.m., Su Ping entered a link to a meeting sent by the marketing manager. Meanwhile, the marketing manager was among many in the video call. There were a few people who looked like management personnel of Steam. They were dressed in suits and leather shoes, which seemed they highly regarded the video call. After exchanging opinions and negotiations, Su Ping finished discussing all the cooperation projects with Steam in less than an hour. In the end, they reached a result that satisfied both parties. ¡°Mr. Su, don¡¯t worry. Our platform will develop a perfect plan to promote World War Z within two days.¡± ¡°You just need to send me the game¡¯s installation package as soon as possible. The professionals of Steam will complete all the follow-up work!¡± ¡°If you¡¯re unsatisfied with the game¡¯s price or other services, you can also express your opinions at any time. We¡¯ll change it at any time!¡± ¡°Of course, if you are interested in joining Steam, the previous invitation still counts. We sincerely invite you to join our platform at any time!¡± Of course, Su Ping wouldn¡¯t turn down the marketing manager¡¯s flattery so easily. The most he could do was reply that he would consider it. As for whether or not he was going to join Steam, Su Ping had never thought about it. Su Ping had planned to be an independent game producer from the very beginning, and he was well aware of that. No matter how much Steam exaggerated the benefits in front of him, no matter how much assurance they made¡­ If he joined them, Steam would unavoidably restrict and interfere with his future work as soon as he signed the contract. The so-called delegation of power and maintaining a certain degree of independence? What was it like to be in front of a big company like Steam? There was also the risk of the system being leaked. Su Ping would never do something like that! Su Ping never wanted to rely on them, be it the game development company, the world¡¯s largest social media app, or a video-sharing website. As long as the game was entertaining, he didn¡¯t need to worry about players not downloading and buying it. That night, Su Ping told Angelica the good news in advance. Su Ping logged into his Facebook account, which he hadn¡¯t been on for a long time. Su Ping rarely posted anything there, but the number of fans on his account had exceeded 30 million! Even though there were fans from all over the world, the number was still very terrifying. Su Ping soon came up with a post titled, ¡°I have completed negotiations with Steam, and World War Z will be available for download as soon as possible!¡± Su Ping looked at the draft he had written satisfactorily and clicked send. Less than a second after posting, Su Ping saw the number of private messages on the upper right corner of his screen increase rapidly. The number of likes on the post also soared like a rocket. Su Ping was startled. ¡°Gosh! Do these people have nothing to do?¡± Chapter 92 - 92 The Official Release of World War Z 92 The Official Release of World War Z Su Ping was speechless. He had never thought there would be so many fans following his account all the time. As long as he posted something or had any news about him, they would be the first to know, and then they would reply and like it. After refreshing the page, Su Ping noticed that there were now thousands of comments instead of just one! It had only been a short minute! Moreover, it exceeded millions of likes! Since Su Ping was curious, he clicked into the comments section to see his fanatical fans¡¯ comments. [Fuck! World War Z is really coming. Su Ping kept his promise!] [Haha! I¡¯ve already packed up the blades and was going to send them to Su Ping to urge him to release the game. Since Su Ping is so tactful, I¡¯ll ask the postman to leave.] [God bless Su Ping. Su Ping, you are my savior! Every day is like torture to me without World War Z!] [When will it be released? Steam, hurry up!] [Finally, I can play this game! I can only survive by watching the recording of Angelica¡¯s live stream these two days!] Su Ping had broadened his horizons while looking at the comments. Su Ping thought, ¡°Damn! I¡¯ve already contacted Steam as soon as possible, but why are people still scolding me?¡± ¡°Some of them are even ready to send me blades?¡± ¡°These fans are a bunch of ingrates! It seems that I can¡¯t simply expose my address!¡± Su Ping whispered in his heart. Since his fans were too fanatical, he worried he would be in danger if they knew where he lived. Soon after Su Ping posted, the first headline on Facebook and Twitter¡¯s search lists was World War Z. Countless players and fans spread the news to celebrate the official release of World War Z on Steam. The comment section of every post was filled with everyone¡¯s expectations of the game¡¯s release. Some even claimed to be students who had already saved a week¡¯s worth of lunch money in advance and were prepared to tighten their belts to survive. The university students were also prepared to live on shoestrings. Steam contacted Su Ping the next day and reported the project¡¯s progress. ¡°Mr. Su, it is expected that we will be able to officially release World War Z tomorrow afternoon. In the past two days, our platform has done a lot of promotion for your game.¡± ¡°We¡¯re looking forward to the records of World War Z! It will definitely be a new milestone in history!¡± ¡°And the new record can only be broken by you in the future!¡± The marketing manager was good at flattering people. He had flattered Su Ping so much that he even made Su Ping feel embarrassed. ¡°Haha! You think too highly of me. I¡¯m just an independent game producer.¡± ¡°Thank you very much for your platform¡¯s attention. I¡¯m happy to work with you.¡± ¡°We are happy to work with you too!¡± That night, Angelica announced the news in her live stream room after getting Su Ping¡¯s permission. [Oh my goodness! Tomorrow afternoon?! That¡¯s fast!] [It¡¯s so fast! I¡¯m sure that Steam has given Su Ping priority! Or they have a professional team in charge of World War Z!] [Of course! Steam will never miss such an excellent game unless they are nuts!] [I¡¯m touched. Not a single game can be compared to Su Ping¡¯s games!] [It¡¯s because Su Ping had made a lot of excellent games! Host, will you play the game again after it¡¯s officially released tomorrow?] Angelica saw the last question and thought for a while before answering. ¡°I think I¡¯ll try it again. After all, I proceeded on the game countdown last time. There seems to be a lot of game content I haven¡¯t experienced.¡± ¡°Moreover, I really want to enjoy the feeling of fighting zombies worldwide. It must be very cool!¡± After hearing Angelica¡¯s reply, many players in the live stream room decided to watch Angelica¡¯s live stream the next afternoon. Even if they couldn¡¯t play World War Z immediately, they wanted to watch others play the game and enjoy it! It was a sleepless night for countless people, especially when they thought they could download World War Z at noon tomorrow. The virtual reality equipment in this world could make games extremely realistic. In the past, the gaming industry was devalued and at the bottom of the pecking order of various industries due to¡­ It was because the game producers didn¡¯t utilize the virtual reality equipment, which led to games that had always been crudely made and boring. On the other hand, Su Ping continued to push the upper limit of the equipment, allowing players to experience a different world in the game. It was as if they had a second life. With such a magical experience, how could the players not be immersed in it? Countless people had stayed up all night. The next day, they sat in front of their computers and turned on Steam with dark circles under their eyes. As the second hand on the computer desktop moved back to the top, it was finally 12 p.m.! Countless players immediately clicked on the advertisement on Steam¡¯s main page with their mouse and directly entered the download page of World War Z. They paid and downloaded the game without any hesitation! Although there was a trial period for each game, Su Ping¡¯s fans were more than willing to pay. It was impossible for them to ask for a refund! The more they played Su Ping¡¯s games, the more proud they became. Many players would brag about their experiences playing Su Ping¡¯s games in the gaming community. It was a common phenomenon among the players and was acknowledged by many. In Steam¡¯s marketing department¡­ The marketing manager¡¯s eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he saw that the number of downloads had rapidly increased at 12 p.m. He muttered in shock while looking at the rapid increase in downloads. ¡°Oh my goodness! It¡¯s too terrifying. What is his limit?¡± ¡°If he continues to produce games, will he become the greatest game producer in history?¡± Hearing the words of the marketing manager, many of the employees around him also agreed. At this point, no one would question Su Ping¡¯s strength. Su Ping deserved the title of the greatest game producer! In less than a minute, World War Z had exceeded 100,000 downloads! Chapter 93 - 93 Earning Two Billion in a Day 93 Earning Two Billion in a Day World War Z was sold for 300 yuan! The price had already exceeded that of 90% of the indie games on Steam and was considered expensive. However, comparing World War Z to other games in terms of quality and value, it was definitely the most cost-effective game. An hour after the game was released, the sales had already exceeded three million! Sales growth had begun to slow down, ending the bombastic period of sales growth¡­ However, it was foreseeable that it would achieve tens of millions of sales after a day! No one knew what a terrifying result it would achieve in the end. Each download would cost 300 yuan. Steam would keep 30% of the earnings as its income. Even so, Su Ping earned a huge income of 2.1 billion yuan in just one hour! Numerous people were perplexed by the terrifyingly rapid rate of wealth accumulation. Many people who had looked down on the game industry not long ago and even thought that Su Ping¡¯s achievements were just a stroke of luck have started to admire him now. Two hours after the game was released, Angelica sent Su Ping a message before she started her live stream. ¡°Congratulations, you¡¯re now a super-rich man with assets that costs more than billions of yuan!¡± Su Ping replied with a smile, ¡°Haha! What¡¯s the use of having so much money? If you can¡¯t spend it all, isn¡¯t it the same as how much you have?¡± Angelica was silent for a long time and finally replied. ¡°Bastard!¡± Su Ping was confused about seeing the message. He thought, ¡°Why would Angelica suddenly scold me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just telling the truth, but why is she so anxious?¡± Soon, Su Ping forgot about the matter. He had earned billions of yuan in just an hour. It was something he had never dared to think about in the past. It could be said that the income of World War Z was comparable to the total income of the first three Zombie Apocalypse series! After all, Su Ping wasn¡¯t popular back then. Only during World War Z was released did he finally gain a strong global influence. That night, World War Z had exceeded five million downloads, and it was expected to reach ten million downloads by the next day. Su Ping was bored, so he watched Angelica¡¯s live stream. Sure enough, Angelica was live-streaming World War Z. Since Angelica had played the game before, she didn¡¯t play by the rules and didn¡¯t follow the plot of the game to unlock the new map. As soon as Angelica entered the game, she drove her car and took her family to find an airport before the zombie crisis broke out. After targeting the location of the nearest World Health Organization research institution through the satellite map, they immediately flew over. When the zombie crisis broke out, Angelica was already in the research institution and had instructed the staff to complete all the protection in time. Hence, nobody in the research institution was infected with the zombie virus! Angelica used another half an hour to let the staff choose a suitable pathogen to be vaccinated. Thus they were invisible in front of the zombies! After that, Angelica called Thierry and told him the solution to the zombie crisis. In the game, many vaccines and syringes began to be distributed worldwide in less than three days. The world had just entered the zombie crisis era, but it soon changed to a new one. Even Su Ping was shocked by Angelica¡¯s performance in the game. Then, Angelica began to command the army to kill zombies all over the world! First, they cleared out the zombies in their own country. Then, they led the troops to fight against zombies in other countries. Angelica even experienced the feeling of flying an aircraft carrier! [It¡¯s so cool! Host, can you devise a strategy to teach us how to clear the game in the fastest time?] [That¡¯s right! I¡¯ve already learned the game plot after watching your live stream. I just want to kill zombies now!] [Haha! It must be the best zombie open-world game for players to experience! It¡¯s so cool to drive a warship to fight zombies!] [Hehe! I almost finished downloading World War Z. I¡¯ll take my leave first, brothers!] Angelica¡¯s live stream room had once again reached more than three million concurrent viewers. However, the popularity of Angelica¡¯s live stream seemed to have reached a bottleneck, and there was no way to achieve a new record. However, Angelica didn¡¯t care about it. She had no desire for the popularity of her live stream. If other streamers knew about Angelica¡¯s current state of mind, they would probably be jealous. Angelica¡¯s live stream lasted until past 9 p.m. Meanwhile, the game had been proceeding for nearly a month. Moreover, the existence of the superhuman Angelica almost contained the worldwide zombie crisis. There were almost no zombies, especially in the territories of several major world countries. As for the remaining zombies that the main force had not cleared out, Angelica only needed to mobilize the people to pick up their weapons, and the zombies could be completely cleared out in the future! At this point, the game had come to an end. After all, most of the zombies were dead. Furthermore, when the number of zombies dropped to a certain level, the system would automatically start the game¡¯s countdown even if the player didn¡¯t want to end it. Or if the player played a certain stage for too long, the system would also start the game¡¯s countdown. At 10 p.m., Angelica finally turned off the game, took off her virtual reality gaming equipment, and took a long breath. ¡°Phew! I had so much fun today. I¡¯ve never had such a good time fighting the zombies!¡± ¡°Dear viewers, I sincerely recommend you buy World War Z and play it. I¡¯ve never promoted the Zombie Apocalypse series like this before, but World War Z is definitely worth being noticed!¡± ¡°I can guarantee you that you won¡¯t regret buying World War Z. If you¡¯re not satisfied with it, just send me a private message. I¡¯ll ask Su Ping to refund it for you!¡± As soon as Angelica finished speaking, the comments started to tease her. [You will ask Su Ping to refund it? I knew something was going on between you two!] [Angelica, are you sure you¡¯re not showing off your affection? It¡¯s time for us to unsubscribe!] [The host is no longer the pure and innocent girl from before. She¡¯s being so righteous to show her affection publicly!] [When are you going to announce your relationship? I can¡¯t wait to eat your wedding candy!] [Have you thought of your child¡¯s name? Is your child going to take your or Su Ping¡¯s surname?] Angelica didn¡¯t expect the comments to go off-topic, especially when the viewers started to name her children in the comments. Angelica immediately became shy and went offline as soon as possible. The situation shocked three million viewers. Chapter 94 - 94 The Troubles of Being Rich 94 The Troubles of Being Rich The number of purchases and downloads for World War Z surpassed 10 million the day following its official release! Meanwhile, the sales growth had slowed and increased at a uniform rate. However, the sales growth was still beyond the reach of many games that its producer thought were good. Moreover, games were available for long-term download, and new players could download them anytime. Hence, nobody could predict the final result. Meanwhile, Su Ping¡¯s income from the past day was transferred to his account! Usually, Steam would not pay the income daily. However, since Steam wanted to please Su Ping, they promised they would pay the income daily during the first week of the release of Su Ping¡¯s new game. Hence, Su Ping received 1.5 billion yuan in cash this afternoon! Of course, the amount had already been deducted from the taxes. Su Ping felt heartache when he saw his bank account balance. It had directly deducted 600 million yuan as tax! It was 600 million yuan! In the past, he would not have been able to earn so much money even if he had worked his entire life. Although Su Ping was rich now, his perception of money and spending remained the same as when he was poor. Su Ping didn¡¯t even know how to spend the money! Buy a house? Su Ping didn¡¯t want to move to another place to live. However, the most expensive house in the city he was in cost only tens of millions of yuan. Buy a car? The price of a car couldn¡¯t compare to the price of a house. Furthermore, the 1.5 billion yuan he received today was only the first day¡¯s income! Even if the income gradually decreased later, the total income would still be astronomical. ¡°Sigh, I never thought there would be a day when I would have to worry about how to spend money!¡± Su Ping looked at his bank account balance, feeling vexed. He didn¡¯t know how to spend the money, but to celebrate the huge amount of money he had earned, Su Ping decided to relax for a while. Anyway, World War Z was already released, and his fans would not urge him to make a new game in the short term. As for Zombie Apocalypse IV, he would release the news later. ¡°Are you free today?¡± After much consideration, Su Ping decided to send Angelica a message to see if he could ask her out. Su Ping was very nervous when he sent the message. He had always been a reserved person. Since he was young, he had never dared to confess to girls. When he attended parties, he often stayed at the corner. His personality didn¡¯t change much, even after he had grown up. ¡°Will she reject me? What should I do if she rejects me?¡± ¡°Am I confessing my feelings to her?¡± While waiting, Su Ping had a lot of questions in his mind. He became aware that his anxiety was higher now than when he was awaiting the data for his recently released game. However, Angelica soon replied. Su Ping was startled when he heard the notification. He grabbed his phone and opened the chat app. ¡°Yes, does our rich boss want to treat me to a restaurant?¡± ¡°Hehe! It¡¯s not just treating you to a restaurant! Just tell me what you want to do since I have too much money to spend. Today, I¡¯ll fulfill all your wishes!¡± Su Ping sent the message, as he was delighted with the message he had written. Su Ping felt he was so sincere. However, Su Ping had no idea that Angelica was grinding her teeth in anger after reading the message. Angelica thought, ¡°What?! You have too much money to spend?!¡± ¡°Are you a pig? Are you deliberately showing off your wealth to me?¡± On second thought, however, Angelica believed that Su Ping wasn¡¯t that kind of exhibitionist. Hence, there could only be one possibility. ¡°Are you a pig!¡± Angelica quickly replied. She even replied with an exaggerated emoji. Su Ping was at a loss when he saw the message. He had no idea why she scolded him when he wanted to invite her to have fun. ¡°Sigh, women are the most difficult creatures to understand in the world!¡± Su Ping and Angelica spent the whole day playing outside. They had visited high-end restaurants that they had never been to. Afterward, they went to the street full of luxury stores and came out fully loaded. In the end, they watched a movie together. During the movie, Su Ping wanted to grab the fair little hand beside him countless times. But in the end, he still lacked a little bit of courage. At the movie¡¯s end, Su Ping could feel that Angelica looked at him with resentment. ¡°Next time! I¡¯ll do it better next time, for sure!¡± Su Ping whispered in his heart. On Angelica¡¯s side, she was also disappointed. Angelica thought, ¡°Su Ping is talented at making games, but why is he so dense to love?¡± However, the day¡¯s date went well. In the end, Su Ping dropped Angelica off at her home before returning to his own. He opened the back-office data to have a look. After half a day, World War Z had increased another two million downloads! Su Ping estimated he would have an additional income of hundreds of millions of yuan tomorrow. ¡°The feeling of lying down and counting money is not bad¡­ Hehe¡­¡± World War Z continued to be a hot topic in the next few days. Although Su Ping didn¡¯t buy any traffic, World War Z was almost always at the top of the search list. World War Z was just released less than a week ago, but the internet was filled with strategy videos about clearing the game. Countless top streamers in the live stream industry were also playing the game non-stop, and they had almost mastered it. Meanwhile, Steam and Youtube were also making a lot of money. The situation made the other two social media applications envious. However, they could do nothing but be anxious since Su Ping didn¡¯t want to join any of them. Half a month passed quickly, and the popularity of World War Z finally began to decline gradually. Su Ping¡¯s Twitter account started to get flooded with requests for updates as the players¡¯ enthusiasm for the game gradually waned. [Su Ping, when will the new game be released?] [I¡¯ve already cleared World War Z several times. When will the new game be ready? I can¡¯t wait to play it!] [I¡¯m ordering you to reveal the progress of the new game. It¡¯s already been half a month. How can you be such a lazy game producer!] Su Ping didn¡¯t know how to describe his feelings when he saw the comments left by the players. ¡°How can they say I¡¯m lazy?!¡± Su Ping felt that he had fed his conscience to the dogs. ¡°Is there a more productive game producer than me?¡± ¡°Even those game development companies can¡¯t release new games as fast as I do, right?¡± ¡°A bunch of ingrates!¡± Chapter 95 - 95 Zombie Apocalypse IV Is Coming 95 Zombie Apocalypse IV Is Coming ¡°Su Ping, many viewers have been asking me to ask you when you will release your new game.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell me before that the Zombie Apocalypse series will have six games? There are still three left, right? When will they be released?¡± ¡°I know that you¡¯re already working very hard now. I might be a little annoying if I keep mentioning it.¡± ¡°But since the viewers keep asking me about it every day, it makes me curious too.¡± At night, Angelica suddenly sent a message to Su Ping after she finished her live stream. Her tone sounded like she was trying to be sweet. If Su Ping had seen the players urging him to release his new game, he would have called them a bunch of ingrates. However, Su Ping would take Angelica¡¯s message seriously! Su Ping replied after some consideration, ¡°The new game? I think it¡¯ll take about a week¡­¡± Actually, Su Ping had already finished making the game. After all, the code was written by the system. All he needed to do was sort out the codes and make them into an installation package. There wasn¡¯t much work to do. However, Su Ping didn¡¯t dare to shorten the time. If he released a new game every few days, he feared he would be captured and cut into pieces for research. In the end, Angelica was still shocked when she heard the news. ¡°A week? Do you only need a week to make a new game?!¡± Su Ping saw the message and understood that cutting the production time was still a mistake. Just as he was about to change his mind and find a reason to explain, he saw Angelica say in surprise. ¡°Oh my goodness! That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°Hehe! I didn¡¯t expect that I could play a new game so soon. You must let me play the game first! I want to make the live stream room viewers envious to death!¡± Looking at Angelica being happy, just like a young girl, Su Ping deleted his typed words. In the end, he only replied, ¡°Yes, I will definitely satisfy you!¡± Su Ping¡¯s reply was as if the game was made for Angelica. A week ago, Su Ping asked the system to convert Zombie Apocalypse IV into a game. During that time, Su Ping had completed the game¡¯s final production. Afterward, Su Ping sent a message to Angelica to allow her to disclose the news during her live stream tomorrow! It was considered a warm-up for Zombie Apocalypse IV. Su Ping planned to begin work on The Matrix after completing Zombie Apocalypse V. It was still early, though. The next afternoon, Angelica started her stream on time, and Su Ping joined her stream. Angelica didn¡¯t announce the news immediately after her live stream started. She wanted to announce the news at night with the most concurrent viewers to achieve the best publicity effect! Angelica didn¡¯t play World War Z during her live stream. Instead, she played a shooting game produced by another game company. The genre of the game was similar to PlayerUnknown¡¯s Battlegrounds, which the Bluehole Studio launched in his previous life. It was also a battle royale game. While Su Ping saw Angelica¡¯s superb marksmanship, he finally understood why she was so talented at playing his games. Angelica was an FPS genius! Su Ping even felt that she could become a professional gamer! At 8 p.m., the popularity of Angelica¡¯s live stream room finally reached its peak. At this time, almost everyone had gotten off from work, so everyone had nothing to do. Some of them might have just finished dinner. It was when most people were resting, so they naturally had more time to watch live streams or play games. The live stream room had just passed one million concurrent viewers since their interest in World War Z began to dwindle. Although the number of views exceeded that of the other top streamers, it was far from Angelica¡¯s peak. Meanwhile, Angelica had just fought against three opponents as a lone wolf in the final stage. She had crippled two opponents with her superb marksmanship. Then, Angelica pretended to throw a smoke bomb to change her position. However, she took a detour in the opposite direction. In the end, Angelica used a frag grenade to complete a triple kill when her enemy was reviving their teammates! Su Ping was shocked and thought, ¡°She is so powerful!¡± The viewers also praised Angelica¡¯s strength in the comments. [Host, you¡¯re too strong! Why don¡¯t you become a professional player and make a name for yourself? Why are you still working as a small-time streamer?] [Are you calling her a small-time streamer? She now has over a million concurrent viewers, alright!] [Haha! Perhaps in Angelica¡¯s perspective, if the live stream room has less than three million concurrent viewers, they¡¯re all considered small-time streamers!] [To be honest, the host¡¯s FPS shooting is superb! She was steadier than most of the male players!] [Why didn¡¯t anyone mention Su Ping¡¯s new game today? Did you ask Su Ping when the new game will be released?] [That¡¯s right! Host, tell us when the next game will be released! I can¡¯t wait any longer!] [I feel like years have passed since Su Ping didn¡¯t release a new game!] Angelica had just finished the last stage. When she looked at the number of concurrent viewers, she knew it was almost time. Therefore, she took off her equipment and prepared to tell the viewers the important news that Su Ping had revealed. Finally, the viewers¡¯ comments flooded the screen. They were all urging Angelica to reveal the news. Angelica cleared her throat and said very seriously. ¡°My dear viewers and fans.¡± ¡°I understand your passion for Su Ping¡¯s new game. As a good friend of Su Ping, I asked him about the progress of the new game today!¡± As soon as Angelica spoke, the comments immediately turned into chaos. Meanwhile, even the number of concurrent viewers soared by more than 100000 in just a minute. Countless people were sharing the link to Angelica¡¯s live stream room, attracting more people to watch. Hence, Angelica waited for a while. When her live stream room achieved 1.5 million concurrent viewers, she said solemnly. ¡°According to Su Ping, the new game has been completed!¡± ¡°The new game has been confirmed to be a sequel to the Zombie Apocalypse series. According to the serial number, it¡¯s called Zombie Apocalypse IV!¡± ¡°Meanwhile, Su Ping promised me the game will be released on Steam within a week!¡± As soon as Angelica finished her words, the live stream room viewers stopped commenting. However, after a few seconds, the screen was filled with overwhelming comments. There was no gap, whether it was the game screen or Angelica¡¯s camera screen. The players went utterly crazy! Chapter 96 - 96 The Most Morally Upright Game Producer 96 The Most Morally Upright Game Producer Zombie Apocalypse IV will soon be released! As soon as the news spread, it immediately shocked countless fans. Nobody expected that Su Ping would officially launch his new game so soon. People would always tease Su Ping about keeping releasing the Zombie Apocalypse series games, and they were getting tired of it¡­ However, no one would say such things when Su Ping¡¯s new game was about to be released. Since the gaming industry was in a slump, Su Ping¡¯s exquisite games became noticeable, which immersed countless people in them. [Zombie Apocalypse IV is coming soon! Haha! I can¡¯t wait to play it!] [By the way, is Su Ping a robot? Why can he produce games so quickly?] [I wonder if Su Ping has mastered some special skills in making games. How can he make so many games in such a short time?!] [That¡¯s right! It¡¯s impossible to produce two new games every month, even for those major game development companies!] [The game¡¯s release speed isn¡¯t the most outrageous part. The outrageous part is that the games are exquisite! It made Su Ping special and incomparable! That¡¯s the scariest thing about Su Ping!] Soon, headlines related to Zombie Apocalypse IV were at the top of the search list. Many players and Su Ping¡¯s fans discussed it in the gaming community. Everyone was expressing their opinions. Some people were guessing how much Zombie Apocalypse IV would cost. Some people were discussing the plot of Zombie Apocalypse IV. People wondered whether the plot would directly take on Zombie Apocalypse III or start a new instance. In short, even if the game weren¡¯t officially released, just one piece of news would be enough to cause the gaming community chaos. Hence, Su Ping¡¯s influence in the gaming industry was evident. After giving the information to Angelica, Su Ping contacted Steam¡¯s employees and prepared to make follow-up arrangements for the official launch of Zombie Apocalypse IV. Since Su Ping¡¯s previous game, World War Z, had just officially released, the preparation seemed to be a little rushed. It was the same marketing manager who interfaced with Su Ping. ¡°Mr. Su, your passion for creating games makes our company feel ashamed. Our company is so big, but we can¡¯t compare the number of games we produce to you. Haha!¡± The manager began to flatter Su Ping as usual, but this time, Su Ping didn¡¯t waste any time on him. Su Ping immediately said, ¡°Please help me with the arrangements. Zombie Apocalypse IV has to be officially released within a week. Moreover, the price must be as reasonable as possible.¡± ¡°In addition, can you repair the server of Steam? I¡¯ve received feedback from many players recently, saying that they suddenly disconnected while playing.¡± ¡°If your server continues to be unstable, I might have to change partners.¡± The manager didn¡¯t show any dissatisfaction with Su Ping¡¯s accusation. Instead, he agreed at once. ¡°Haha! Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Su. I¡¯ll give feedback on your suggestions immediately and let the technical department upgrade our server. We¡¯ll let the players enjoy the perfect gaming experience!¡± From Steam¡¯s perspective, Su Ping was like a living money tree. Besides, many platforms were begging Su Ping to join and work with them. From Su Ping¡¯s point of view, he was in a completely different position from the gaming platform that provided the service. It was no longer the game producers who had to suck up to the employees of the gaming platform. On the contrary, the gaming platform had to suck up Su Ping as much as possible to prevent Su Ping from working with other platforms. Su Ping¡¯s influence in the gaming industry was terrifying. Even Steam couldn¡¯t accept Su Ping to work with other gaming platforms. Under the full operation of Steam, they greatly shortened the initially scheduled time of a week to release the game. Steam published an advertisement about Zombie Apocalypse IV on its main page in less than three days. Any player who logged on to Steam could see the advertisement at first sight. The scariest thing was that Steam didn¡¯t give any chances for other games to promote. The advertisement for Su Ping¡¯s Zombie Apocalypse IV was permanent! The situation was different from usual game advertisements. Usually, there would be several pages to scroll through, but now, there was only the advertisement for Zombie Apocalypse IV! Although it seemed like Steam was boot-licking Su Ping, Steam believed their arrangement was reasonable. Steam believed that as long as they could please Su Ping and make his new game popular, they would gain a lot of traffic and income. From the perspective of Steam¡¯s employees, their quarterly KPI was guaranteed again. Finally, Zombie Apocalypse IV was officially released on the fifth day. Just like before, it was officially available for download at 12 p.m. Every player had a half an hour free trial. After the free trial, they would have to pay for it if they wanted to play. This time, the price of Zombie Apocalypse IV was 150 yuan! The price was only half the price of World War Z. Even compared to previous games in the Zombie Apocalypse series, it was regarded as having a low price. As a result, it immediately attracted widespread praise from the players. [What a morally upright game producer! You¡¯re selling such a good game for only 150 yuan!] [Su Ping, can you set the price a little higher? I can¡¯t even play the game with feeling at ease and justified if you keep acting like this!] [Sigh, there aren¡¯t many game producers with such a conscience these days. Su Ping not only produces exquisite games but also sells them at a low price. If those major game development companies are aware of it, they won¡¯t have ended up in today¡¯s situation.] [Haha! There are so many major game development companies around the world. Still, they can¡¯t compete with an independent game producer like Su Ping. It¡¯s absurd!] [Hey, internet! Can you speed up a bit more? I want to play Zombie Apocalypse IV!] The number of downloads shown in the back-office data increased quickly after the game was officially released. Countless players were practically squatting in front of their computers. As soon as the game was released, they clicked on the download button and watched the download progress bar slowly move forward. Every 1% progress would make the players excited. They couldn¡¯t wait for the progress bar to reach 100% so they could play Zombie Apocalypse IV ahead of other players. In addition to the players, most gaming streamers naturally chose to start live streaming after Zombie Apocalypse IV was officially released. From their perspective, it was a great opportunity to gain more fans! Chapter 97 - 97 Zombie Apocalypse IV Starts Now 97 Zombie Apocalypse IV Starts Now In Angelica¡¯s live stream room. Meanwhile, Angelica was chatting with the viewers, selectively interacting with a few of them. Angelica had to wait for Zombie Apocalypse IV to finish downloading before she could start the game. This time, Su Ping didn¡¯t give Angelica the game¡¯s installation package in advance. Angelica had once been displeased, but she didn¡¯t pursue the matter in the end. After all, she didn¡¯t need to get angry over such a small matter and ruin her relationship with Su Ping. Angelica knew what was more important. ¡°Sigh, the game is downloading at such a slow speed. I seriously suspect that the network speed provided by the network company is fake. The network company is lying to me about I¡¯m using 1 Gbps fiber broadband!¡± Angelica complained as she looked at the slow progress bar. The millions of viewers in the live stream room also agreed with her. [That¡¯s right! The host¡¯s internet speed is a little too slow. I think Wesley is almost done downloading.] [Mikuya¡¯s game download is also much faster than Angelica¡¯s. I think the network company has cheated Angelica!] [Poor Angelica! Even the network company has cheated you. No wonder you¡¯re taken by Su Ping so easily!] [Huh, what¡¯s the point of other streamers installing it quickly? Can they clear the game faster than Angelica?] [It¡¯s the truth, though. Speaking of which, can Angelica still clear it in one try? I feel Zombie Apocalypse IV is more difficult than the previous three games!] [I heard something similar when Zombie Apocalypse III was launched.] The viewers were enthusiastically discussing the matter in the comments. Finally, as time passed, Angelica finished downloading the game! Angelica clicked to install it! Angelica pressed the mouse hard as if she was completing some kind of mysterious ritual. The scene was solemn. ¡°Finally, I completed the download. Everyone, please wait a moment. After adjusting the equipment, I¡¯ll start playing Zombie Apocalypse IV!¡± ¡°This time, I¡¯m also going to try to clear the game in one go! Hehe!¡± As the game finished downloading, Angelica became eager to try it out. Soon, Angelica put on her virtual reality gaming equipment and entered the game. The Zombie Apocalypse IV still followed the style of the previous three games. The game started with a plot to introduce the game¡¯s background so that the players could immerse in it as quickly as possible. Although the arrangement seemed a little redundant, it could improve the player¡¯s gaming experience. After all, it was hard for a player to get used to starting a game without knowing the game¡¯s background. Through the game plot, Angelica knew about the battle that happened in Tokyo. Alice had led her cloned sisters to attack the underground laboratory of the Umbrella Corporation in Tokyo, but they had failed to kill Wesker in the end. At the end of the operation, Wesker also injected Alice with an immune serum, which could neutralize the virus in Alice¡¯s body. In this way, Alice loses her superpower in Zombie Apocalypse IV. Most of the viewers in the live stream were disappointed when they saw the scene. [No! How can my superpowers be gone just like that? I thought I could use my superpowers forever. That¡¯s a cool setting!] [That¡¯s right! Why did Alice suddenly lose her superpowers? Isn¡¯t it too rash?!] [I think there are pros and cons to superpowers. Don¡¯t you guys think that it¡¯s a little too easy to clear the game with superpowers? Besides, the setting of superpowers doesn¡¯t make sense at all. It should be deleted!] [I also support the removal of superpowers. The Zombie Apocalypse will only be authentic after Alice loses her superpowers!] The viewers in the live stream room were divided into two groups. One group supported the removal of the superpowers, while the other group felt it was a pity. However, it didn¡¯t matter to Angelica whether she had superpowers. She would make every effort to win the game on her first try. Alice arrived in Alaska and met the amnesiac Claire at the end of the plot animation. As for the others, they were nowhere to be found. Furthermore, Alice was constantly receiving radio signals. There was a place called Arcadia that was still civilized, and it was willing to provide shelter for survivors who arrived there. In the end, Angelica chose to leave Alaska. She brought Claire with her to search for the place called Arcadia. Finally, the plot ended, and the game began. As soon as she entered the game, she was shocked and couldn¡¯t help but scream. ¡°Aah! Fuck! Where the heck am I? Why am I on a plane?¡± Angelica looked around and realized she was flying an old plane a few hundred meters in the air. Meanwhile, Claire sat in the back seat of the plane. [Host, have you forgotten? The previous plot mentioned that you¡¯re bringing Claire to find Arcadia!] [The host is forgetful!] [The host is only in her 20s, but her memory is like a senior citizen¡¯s!] After a while, Angelica finally returned to her normal state and became calm. As Angelica started to look around her, she noticed the city in front of her was reduced to ruins. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the sky above the city first. Since the game put me here at the beginning of the game, my destination is probably in the city.¡± Angelica spoke indifferently and analyzed the situation calmly. As a seasoned player, Angelica had consistently assessed the state of the game accurately. Additionally, Angelica was keen to read the minds of the game producers and was aware of time-saving techniques and ways to advance the game. After a while, when Angelica flew over a mountain peak and saw the tattered Hollywood sign on the peak, she realized which city she was in. [Tsk-tsk. It is as expected of Hollywood. It¡¯s always being destroyed!] [Whether it¡¯s a disaster movie or a disaster game, the Hollywood sign will always end up like this!] [Haha! Doesn¡¯t it mean that Hollywood is an ominous place? If a catastrophe really happens one day, stay away from it! Otherwise, you¡¯ll face danger!] [The classic scene of the persecution of Hollywood!] The viewers were teasing the tattered Hollywood sign. Meanwhile, Angelica¡¯s eyes were wide open, looking at the roof of a building not far away in surprise. Someone wrote three huge letters on it with white chalk. ¡°SOS!¡± Chapter 98 - 98 The Epic Landing 98 The Epic Landing ¡°Oh! We found survivors!¡± Angelica noticed the existence of the survivors, and so did the live stream room viewers because their view would change with Angelica¡¯s. It was obvious that a few people were waving their arms beside the white letters to greet Angelica. [Although this building might unlock a new game plot, we¡¯re flying a plane. How can we land?] [There are zombies below the building. There shouldn¡¯t be a way to land the plane there. It¡¯s no different from suicide!] [The plane is Angelica¡¯s only means of transportation. If it¡¯s destroyed, it¡¯ll be no different from suicide!] The viewers in the live stream room were pessimistic about Angelica¡¯s intention to land the plane on the building. After all, there was only a limited amount of space on the top of the building. No matter how the viewers looked at it, they believed it wasn¡¯t where a plane could land. There were a bunch of zombies below the building. Obviously, they were attracted by the humans in the building. In other words, there was no space for the plane to land in the building. Although Angelica agreed with the comments, she didn¡¯t want to give up so easily. Hence, she flew her plane around the building, finding a way to land it safely. After a while, Angelica made a shocking decision. ¡°I know what to do!¡± The live stream room viewers were all confused by Angelica¡¯s words. Nobody had any idea what Angelica was up to. Afterward, Angelica¡¯s actions shocked everyone. [Fuck! Host, what are you doing? Are you trying to commit suicide?] [Host, don¡¯t take things too hard. No one will blame you if you can¡¯t clear the game!] [I seriously suspect that Angelica¡¯s record of being able to clear every game in one try will end in the next few minutes!] [Is she trying to use the roof to land the plane? Isn¡¯t it too difficult? Even a professional pilot would find it difficult to do it, right?] The viewers were not optimistic about Angelica¡¯s plan at all, and it was a one-sided situation. However, Angelica had already made her decision and would not change it easily. She first adjusted the plane¡¯s direction, then began to slow down and lower the flight altitude gradually. Meanwhile, the people on the roof were aware of Angelica¡¯s plan. They frantically cleared the obstacles on the roof and cleared a smooth runway for Angelica to land. The most exciting moment finally happened! Angelica piloted the plane and quickly approached the roof. Ultimately, the plane¡¯s wheels stepped on the roof and glided rapidly. A man quickly pulled a rope from the ground and firmly hooked it to the gliding plane so it could quickly slow down. Even so, the glide distance was very little, and the plane didn¡¯t appear to be able to land on the roof steadily. Everyone could see that the plane would likely fall from the building and crash to the ground. [Sigh, it still failed, right? I knew the idea wouldn¡¯t work!] [Angelica is still a little overconfident, but it¡¯s good. The failure can wake her up and prevent her from thinking invincible.] [The host is finally going to lose her HP. It¡¯s worth celebrating!] [Is the legend finally coming to an end? Even Angelica can¡¯t clear the game in one go. I think other players will be tortured to the point of doubting their lives!] Something happened just as Angelica was about to fall from the building with the plane. The man who pulled the rope and helped Angelica to land had run to the back of the plane. He suddenly leaped into the air as if he was dunking. Afterward, a powerful big hand slapped the empennage. Surprisingly, the violent impact and the man¡¯s weight pushed the plane¡¯s nose, which had already begun to slide down back! Afterward, the people waiting on the roof swarmed up and helped the man pull the plane back from the edge of the building. The scene stunned the viewers in the live stream room. Countless viewers in front of their screens exclaimed, ¡°It is something that people have to live long enough to witness such powerful NPCs!¡± [What?! Isn¡¯t the NPCs in Zombie Apocalypse IV too powerful? The man even dragged the plane back from the edge of the building?] [What is the man¡¯s job? His slam dunk is up to standard!] [I seriously suspect that the man is a basketball player. Otherwise, he would never be able to jump so high!] [I¡¯m getting more and more interested in Zombie Apocalypse IV. It seems that Su Ping has finally realized the difficulties we players face. He¡¯s strengthening the NPCs to help us clear the game easier!] Angelica finally managed to land the plane on the roof, and she couldn¡¯t help but let out a long sigh. Soon, Angelica met the people who lived on the roof and followed them downstairs to the restaurant to eat. It turned out that the building used to be a prison, so many supplies were stored inside. Hence, the people here could live without worrying about food and clothing for a period of time. However, being trapped inside the building wasn¡¯t a long-term solution. Hence, the people here had been trying to contact Arcadia, hoping to get help. The reason they helped Angelica land her plane was actually because of a misunderstanding. They mistook Angelica for Arcadia¡¯s rescue personnel. However, it turned out that the situation was different from their expectations. Angelica and the others talked about successfully freeing everyone from prison while eating. At first, someone suggested that they could use the plane to send people away one trip at a time. After about five or six trips, everyone would be able to leave. However, the suggestion was quickly rejected by Angelica. She knew very well how risky it would be to land on the roof of a building by plane successfully. It could be said that every landing was a gamble with her life. If there were any mistakes, the outcome would be death. Therefore, the plan was completely rejected. Was there any other way? Suddenly, the prison¡¯s female cook revealed a piece of news. It turned out that there was a man named Chris in prison. It was said that he knew how to leave the building. At Angelica¡¯s request, everyone decided to bring Angelica to meet Chris. Chapter 99 - 99 The Zombies Have Become Smarter! 99 The Zombies Have Become Smarter! Chris was locked up in an independent dungeon made of alloy. It could be said that it was impossible to escape. [The prison is indeed creepy! Why did Zombie Apocalypse IV choose such a hellish place?] [That¡¯s right! The prison gives me a depressive feeling. Moreover, there are so many zombies outside. I feel like they will rush up and eat me anytime!] [I have to say that Angelica is getting bolder and bolder. If her grit is the same as when she was playing Zombie Apocalypse I, I¡¯m afraid she would be scared even when she walked.] [Haha, it means that Angelica¡¯s strength has become stronger, and it¡¯s under the supervision of us, the viewers!] The live stream room viewers giggled as they watched Angelica follow Luther and the others into the dungeon while they discussed the game in the comments. Whether it¡¯s the artistic style or the game¡¯s overall plot, they are all within the scope of the viewers¡¯ discussion. Since Su Ping¡¯s games were influential worldwide, even if everyone couldn¡¯t have played them¡­ Although they haven¡¯t played the game, they¡¯ve seen and heard about it, right? Many of them were regular viewers of Angelica¡¯s live stream. From Zombie Apocalypse I until now, they understood these games well and couldn¡¯t be considered cloud gamers. Therefore, they could still give some constructive suggestions sometimes. Meanwhile, Angelica finally met Chris. She could tell Chris was a soldier just by looking at him. Moreover, Chris always had a serious look on his face, which made him seem tricky. It made Angelica wary of him. Then, Angelica started to talk to Chris. After the conversation, Angelica finally discovered that Chris wasn¡¯t a prisoner. He was really a soldier. The zombie crisis suddenly broke out back then, and the governor ordered all the dungeons to be opened to release all the prisoners. Then he fled. At that time, Chris was carrying out a mission in prison. The prisoners who rushed out mistook him for a correctional officer. In the end, the prisoners arrest Chris to get back at the correctional officer. Therefore, Chris was locked up in one of the iron cages in the dungeon. He had been locked up until now. At the end of their conversation, Chris had promised Angelica that as long as they could let him out, he would be able to lead the people in prison out of the building. After the conversation ended, Angelica fell into deep thought. She was faced with a choice about whether she should believe in Chris¡¯ words. He looked like a ruthless person, and once he got out of control, no one knew what would happen next. However, what if Chris really had a way to leave the building? Even though the prison had plenty of supplies, they would eventually run out if everyone were stuck here. What should they do then? Was she going to let everyone starve to death here? Angelica was having a hard time deciding. She looked at the heated discussion in the comments and suddenly asked. ¡°Guys, do you think Chris is trustworthy?¡± ¡°I¡¯m suspicious of his words since he doesn¡¯t look honest!¡± After hearing Angelica¡¯s words, the live stream room viewers immediately began offering suggestions. [I think you can trust him. Although he looks like a ruthless guy, it shows he is capable. Maybe he really knows how to leave this place!] [Jeez, isn¡¯t it just a game? Just believe him this time. If it turns out that he is a bad guy, just restart the game! What are you hesitating?] [You can¡¯t trust him! If I met such a person, in reality, I wouldn¡¯t even talk to him!] [Why do I feel like this Chris is so handsome? Haha! If only someone could look like him in real life, I¡¯d definitely chase him with all my might!] The discussion continued from whether to believe Chris to his looks. Obviously, the discussion gradually went off-topic, which made Angelica feel helpless. Since the viewers couldn¡¯t form a unified answer, after thinking for a moment, Angelica decided to keep the question for now. ¡°In any case, Chris will just stay here. Since he won¡¯t run away or suddenly die, I¡¯ll decide when I want to let him out!¡± After Angelica finished her words, she left the dungeon with the others. However, when she left, she didn¡¯t hear the sound of people excavating soil from the shadows in the deepest part of the dungeon. The game continued, and since she had given up on Chris for the time being, Angelica had to look for other opportunities to leave the place. Hence, Angelica began to walk around the prison to see if she could find a way out. However, as Angelica was walking, she suddenly heard a faint scream, even though it was very far away and soft. However, Angelica was certain that she had not misheard. ¡°Something has happened! Is there a place in this prison that allows zombies to enter?¡± After Angelica realized the problem, she immediately called Luther, the female chef, and the others to follow the direction of the sound. In the end, everyone gathered in the bathroom. In the deepest part of the bathroom, they found a tunnel big enough for one person to pass through! The pitch-black hole was like a black hole, capable of sucking in everyone who passed by and completely swallowing them! Angelica¡¯s face immediately turned pale when she saw it. The thing she worried about the most had finally happened¡ªthe prison wasn¡¯t unbreakable! Although the zombies couldn¡¯t break through the sturdy walls¡­ However, they had found a way to enter the prison from below by digging a tunnel! Meanwhile, everyone in the live stream room was as shocked as Angelica. Nobody had expected that the zombies would have a certain level of intelligence in Zombie Apocalypse IV! [Fuck! Why do I feel like these zombies are getting smarter?] [Could it be that in Zombie Apocalypse V and Zombie Apocalypse VI, these zombies even know how to use weapons?] [It¡¯s troubling now. Zombies can enter the prison just like ghosts. The prison is no longer safe!] [The host is in danger!] Chapter 100 - 100 The Reunion of Siblings 100 The Reunion of Siblings Angelica maintained her unwavering confidence despite seeing the viewers make fun of her in the comments. ¡°I know many people must be waiting to see me make a fool of myself, hoping my game character will suddenly be bitten to death by zombies while sleeping one day.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Such a situation will never happen!¡± ¡°I won¡¯t let you get your way so easily, Hmph!¡± Many viewers who had been mocking Angelica earlier gritted their teeth in rage when they saw how smug and tsundere she looked. However, they were separated by the screen and the Internet. Hence, they couldn¡¯t do anything to Angelica. They could do nothing more than keep typing away at their keyboards to influence Angelica¡¯s mind. These people were fans of Angelica, but they weren¡¯t overly pleased with her victory in winning the game. What they wanted to see the most was Angelica crying after losing the game. Although they seemed to have repulsive addictions, many people were fond of them. Since the prison was no longer safe, Angelica knew she had no time left. ¡°I suspect that Su Ping designed such a scene on purpose. He wants to speed up the game and force the players to find a way out of here as soon as possible!¡± ¡°No matter how many times I restart Zombie Apocalypse IV, the zombies here will always dig holes!¡± Angelica calmly assessed the situation, and all viewers agreed with her analysis. Just as Angelica was thinking about what to do next, she suddenly thought of someone she had ignored not long ago. Chris! Angelica slapped her forehead and said, ¡°Oh, yeah! Chris hasn¡¯t been released yet. I disapproved of Chris not long ago, and then the zombies broke into the prison.¡± ¡°It¡¯s probably a hint. It¡¯s asking me to return and release Chris so we can continue the game plot!¡± ¡°I¡¯m so smart!¡± Angelica was so happy that she almost jumped up. Her cute appearance made the viewers start sending gifts. [Host, since you¡¯re so good-looking, why are you still live stream playing games?!] [That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right! The host can rely on her looks to make a living, but she chooses to rely on her skills. How are those people who don¡¯t have good skills and looks going to live?!] [The host is sinful!] [Hehe! I like Angelica¡¯s confidence and cuteness! Hehe! That¡¯s the way my wife is!] [How many bottles of wine did you drink last night to get so drunk?] Angelica didn¡¯t care about the comments. She brought Luther and the others back to the dungeon and saw Chris again. Chris was still as calm as when they first met as if he had already expected Angelica to return for him. Soon, Angelica asked Luther to open the cell door and let Chris out. However, as soon as Chris reached the door, he suddenly saw Claire standing not far away. He stood still as if he had been possessed. Chris slowly walked toward Claire. Angelica wasn¡¯t prepared for the sudden turn of events, so she didn¡¯t stop him. Just as Chris reached out to touch Claire¡¯s face, Claire suddenly burst out and strangled Chris¡¯ neck. [Gosh! Is Chris really a soldier? He¡¯s just like a hooligan!] [How can Chris still be horny in such a situation? Why did Su Ping assign such a role to the game? I don¡¯t understand!] [I suggest we calm down and continue watching. Since Su Ping developed such a character, he must have had a use for it. Su Ping isn¡¯t a vulgar person!] [I also believe that there must be some misunderstanding. Maybe Chris and Claire know each other!] Most viewers criticized Chris¡¯s behavior when they saw him trying to touch Claire¡¯s face. On the other hand, a small group of people chose to believe in Su Ping. They believed that every character Su Ping created was meaningful. Angelica naturally belonged to a small group of people. After observing for a while, Angelica found that Chris didn¡¯t seem to have any ill intentions, so she came to Claire and asked her to let go of Chris. Angelica wanted to hear how Chris was going to explain his actions. After releasing Chris, Angelica heard a piece of shocking news. Chris claimed that he was Claire¡¯s older brother, and they were siblings! The plot twist surprised Angelica and the millions of viewers in the live stream room. [Fuck! It¡¯s absurd! According to the game¡¯s settings, there aren¡¯t many survivors on earth, but they are still alive! The key is that they can even meet. They are simply the chosen ones!] [They are surprisingly lucky. I even believe that Chris and Claire are the game¡¯s key!] [I don¡¯t know why, but I suddenly feel like my eyes are a little sore. Maybe it¡¯s because the scene is too touching. It¡¯s so rare for siblings to meet each other in the apocalypse!] [That¡¯s right! If Chris is telling the truth, I¡¯m sure he¡¯s not a bad guy!] [Welcome, brother-in-law!] The viewers began to discuss the reunion of the siblings in the comments. However, Angelica had no time to interact with them. Angelica had to find a way to leave as soon as possible since the zombies could break into the prison. Therefore, Angelica asked Chris to tell everyone how to leave the place he had mentioned before. Soon, Chris led everyone to the main entrance of the prison. Angelica felt her scalp go numb as she stared at the horde of zombies in front of her. Although the first three games of the Zombie Apocalypse series also showed a bunch of zombies, they only appeared for a while. Unlike now, Angelica was standing within the prison¡¯s walls, only a wall away from the zombies! [It¡¯s shocking! This is how Zombie Apocalypse IV is! It¡¯s definitely the best game in the entire series so far!] [Are we going to fight the zombies later? It¡¯s fun to fight with so many zombies!] [Haha! I¡¯m getting a little excited. I have to hurry and see if my game has finished downloading.] [I¡¯m downloading the game too, but my internet connection is too slow. I probably won¡¯t be able to play it even after Angelica is done!] Chapter 101 - 101 A Giant Zombie Appeared 101 A Giant Zombie Appeared Meanwhile, everyone had arrived at the main entrance, and Chris explained his plan to help everyone leave. Chris walked to the right side of the gate, where an explosion-proof alloy door was tightly closed. It was apparent that no one had opened it before. Other than Chris, no one else knew what was behind the door. However, Chris soon revealed the answer. ¡°There is an armored vehicle behind the gate. There is also a basement in prison, where many weapons are stored.¡± ¡°As long as we can board the armored vehicle with weapons, we can naturally kill the zombies outside, successfully leave the city, and reach the Arcadia!¡± After hearing Chris¡¯ words, everyone was shocked. It naturally included Angelica and the millions of viewers in the live-stream room. No one had thought that the way out of prison would be so simple. All they needed to do was to bring their weapons, start the armored vehicle, and then charge out?! [Pfft, why do I feel like Chris is a prison break expert? The plan looks too simple. The point is, I can¡¯t find any loopholes!] [Chris is definitely something! Have you guys forgotten that he came to the prison for a mission? So what exactly is his job?] [Amazing! Su Ping is finally willing to arrange powerful NPCs to help players reduce the game¡¯s difficulty. It is the biggest charity event of the year!] [I think things won¡¯t go so smoothly. Su Ping will never let the players clear the game so easily!] When everyone was rejoicing over the fact that they could leave the prison, suddenly, the sound of metal hitting came from not far away. Everyone turned around and saw an unusually tall giant zombie crazily smashing the prison gate with a metal hammer. Although the prison wall was thick and sturdy, the prison gate was less solid than the wall. It was foreseeable that if the zombie continued to attack in such a way, the gate would collapse sooner or later! If it opened the gate, the thousands of zombies outside would rush into the prison and tear everyone to pieces! No one had expected that while everyone was celebrating the successful completion of the stage, they would encounter such a huge crisis in the blink of an eye. The giant zombie¡¯s head was wrapped in a sackcloth piece, and a few iron nails pierced through it, which showed a terrifying appearance. [Damn, it¡¯s so scary. Isn¡¯t the zombie¡¯s weakness its head? But its head has already been pierced by iron nails, so why is it still alive?] [Maybe it¡¯s because the zombie¡¯s head is too big. The nails might have hurt its head, but the damage was limited.] [I knew Su Ping would never let the players go so easily. This giant zombie must be the most powerful boss in the history of the Zombie Apocalypse series!] [It will be too difficult for Angelica to clear the game in one go. Obviously, nobody can trifle with the giant zombie!] [Sigh, if only Angelica still had superpowers. She could still get rid of the giant zombie in minutes!] In the face of the sudden appearance of the giant zombie, the comments were already in full swing. After all, it was the first time a new boss had appeared, so it could easily arouse the players¡¯ interest. Since the situation was urgent, Angelica quickly assigned tasks to everyone. Angelica and Chris would go to the basement to find weapons while Luther and Claire guarded the door. As for the others, they were in charge of opening the explosion-proof alloy door, thinking of a way to start the armored vehicle inside and waiting for Angelica and Chris to come back with weapons. The plan was perfect, and everyone had their duties. It seemed like everything was back on track. However, when Angelica and Chris opened the door and were about to enter the basement, they were again dumbfounded. ¡°Damn! Su Ping, you¡¯re too cruel. You flooded the basement just to make the game more difficult!¡± ¡°You might as well kill me. You want me to swim in such dirty water? It¡¯s so disgusting!¡± Angelica looked at the muddy water in front of her with disgust. When Angelica considered that the water could have possibly soaked zombies, she became even more repulsed. The viewers started to mock Angelica for being too naive in the comments. However, they still had to go to the basement since they needed more weapons and equipment. Even if they drove out of prison in an armored vehicle, they would only be surrounded by zombies on the road. In Zombie Apocalypse III, the big truck somersaulted because there were too many zombies in front of it, causing the car to lose its balance. When Angelica was about to lead Chris into the water, the female chef, who had been quiet until now, suddenly appeared. The female chef looked very eager to try. She briefly introduced herself, and Angelica only discovered that she was a swimming champion. The female chef believed she could play a big role in the operation, so she came over, hoping to join Angelica and Chris. Of course, Angelica agreed to her request since she had no reason to reject her. Then, the three of them went into the water, held their breath, and swam toward the arsenal. Meanwhile, none of the three noticed that the structure of one soaked concrete wall had loosened because it had been in the water for too long. It might have smelled the scent of humans in the water. Suddenly, a zombie¡¯s hand broke through the wall and reached out. Then, more and more zombies appeared. Angelica and Chris swam in front, and they finally found the stairs. The arsenal was at the end of the hallway. Chris first used a flare to light up the road ahead to confirm it was safe. Meanwhile, the female chef finally arrived. However, just as the three of them were about to continue moving forward, a zombie suddenly came out of the water and hugged the female chef. It even opened its bloody mouth and wrapped it around the female chef¡¯s head, instantly dragging her into the water. The murky water immediately turned red. However, it wasn¡¯t the end. More and more zombies quickly emerged from the water and rushed toward Angelica and Chris. Fortunately, the arsenal was not far from them. The two ran as fast as they could and finally entered the arsenal before the zombies caught up. Afterward, they closed the door and blocked all the zombies outside! Chapter 102 - 102 Plot Twist, the Lonely Hero 102 Plot Twist, the Lonely Hero Finally, they managed to escape. Angelica and Chris started quickly putting the weapons into the bags and getting ready to go back and meet up with the others. However, after a while, when Angelica and Chris picked up their weapons and took the elevator back to the top floor, they were dumbfounded by what they saw. The moment the elevator door opened, Angelica heard the roar of the plane¡¯s engine, and she felt something bad would happen. Her predictions had been confirmed by reality. It turned out that the man in a suit, who was supposed to start the armored vehicle, was flying the plane alone and preparing to leave. The plane had already taken off. Even though Luther tried his best to stop it, he failed. At that moment, the last plane was gone, and many zombies rushed up to the roof. Obviously, the giant zombie had broken the gate, which made the situation dire. No one had expected the situation to turn for the worse suddenly. Just a few minutes ago, the plan was still going smoothly. After getting the weapons, they just had to start the armored vehicle and leave the prison. Why did the situation suddenly become like this? Angelica¡¯s mind was in a mess. In the end, she could only blame Su Ping for everything. [Haha! He just flew the plane and ran away. He doesn¡¯t care about you guys anymore!] [Sigh, this is how things should go. This is how the NPC that Su Ping created should look like! Chris and Luther¡¯s character doesn¡¯t fit Su Ping¡¯s style at all!] [Finally, I¡¯ve seen the familiar Su Ping. The NPC is a smart guy. I¡¯d like to call him the MVP of the game!] [It¡¯s hilarious! Angelica was trying her best to get a weapon and wanted to survive with everyone, but the NPC fled!] [As expected, the most unbelievable thing in the apocalypse is not the enemy but the human heart!] [Su Ping is sharp in looking at issues of human nature!] Some viewers were making fun of Angelica¡¯s current situation, while others were teasing Su Ping. Some people praised the game¡¯s realistic description of human nature, but Angelica had no time to pay attention to the comments. The number of zombies that were rushing up to the roof was increasing. Although Angelica and Chris had distributed the equipment they had brought from the arsenal to everyone, everyone was still firing with all their might¡­ However, there were too many zombies. The situation wasn¡¯t something that they could handle using guns. Seeing that everyone was about to be forced to the edge of the prison building, Angelica saw the elevator next to them and made a prompt decision. ¡°You guys take the elevator and leave first. I¡¯ll find a way to meet up with you later!¡± At this moment, Angelica¡¯s face was determined, and she didn¡¯t look like a girl. The live stream room viewers were shocked by Angelica¡¯s willingness to sacrifice herself to save others. [Fuck! Is she still the Angelica I know? What the hell is she doing? She let the others escape while she stayed behind?] [Although I admit that Angelica¡¯s idea is very cool, I don¡¯t think she can survive being surrounded by so many zombies!] [Sigh, for the sake of the live stream being entertaining, the host must have put in a lot of effort. Maybe Angelica knows there¡¯s no way to clear the game in one go, so she decided to play to her heart¡¯s content!] [Angelica, do you want to die? You only have a few guns on you. How can you fight against these zombies? How are you going to get down from the roof?] Luther and the others quickly entered the elevator, but something awkward happened. The elevator had run out of power! Even though it had happened too suddenly, it was understandable after some thought. It had already been a few years since the zombie crisis broke out. The underground laboratory of Umbrella Corporation was the only place in the world that still had electricity. Naturally, a prison surrounded by zombies would have no electricity. Even if there was, it was impossible to supply electricity to the elevator in advance and waste it. However, Angelica wasn¡¯t panicking when she saw the situation. Instead, she looked at the gap between the top of the elevator and the wall. Afterward, countless viewers were shocked to see Angelica take a grenade from her body and accurately throw it through the gap above the elevator. With a loud bang, the grenade exploded, the rope tied to the elevator was blown off, and the elevator began to fall rapidly. Furthermore, it just so happened that the basement was already flooded, so the elevator wouldn¡¯t directly hit the ground but fall into the water. With the water acting as a buffer, the people inside wouldn¡¯t be hurt. The scene shocked the viewers. [Wait, what the fuck? It turns out that things could be done in such a way?] [It¡¯s so cool! I¡¯ve never thought of that!] [Unbelievable! I feel like I can make a special clip for the scene! I want people who don¡¯t play the game to be shocked when they see it!] [It¡¯s so cool! Why is my game still downloading? I want to blow up the elevator too!] [The host has played the game differently! Even Su Ping would be impressed by your actions!] Millions of viewers in the live stream room were won over by Angelica¡¯s peculiar solution. However, despite being cool, Angelica faced a huge crisis and challenge. Although she had saved many of her NPC teammates, it was only a game. After all, Angelica¡¯s ultimate goal was to ensure that she survived to clear the game. Even if the NPCs survived, her death would result in a game failure. Hence, many viewers were pessimistic about Angelica¡¯s situation even at this moment. Everyone still agreed that she would die tragically on the roof, surrounded and eaten by the zombies! What Angelica was doing seemed to confirm the viewers¡¯ predictions. She kept shooting with the gun in her hand, emptying one magazine of her gun after another. At this moment, Angelica had already killed countless zombies, but she was still forced to the edge of the building. [Sigh, it¡¯s over. She can die without pain by jumping down!] [What¡¯s the point of being sanctimonious in the game if you can¡¯t clear the game?] [I don¡¯t understand the host¡¯s behavior just now. If the NPC dies, then so be it. You should at least stay alive!] [Congratulations to the host for finally breaking the record she had always held and successfully unlocking her second try!] Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers had almost assumed that Angelica would die without a doubt, and there was no chance of turning the tables. Chapter 103 - 103 What the Best Streamer Can Achieve 103 What the Best Streamer Can Achieve However, although Angelica received numerous negative and disapproval comments from the live stream viewers, she still didn¡¯t give up on surviving in the game. In fact, Angelica had already seen the electric cable on the ground when she had her NPC teammates enter the elevator. From the beginning, she already had a plan in her heart. That was why Angelica was confident and let her NPC teammates enter the elevator while she stayed on the roof at the time. ¡°Great! Since you all think I¡¯m going to die on the roof, I¡¯ll show you my true strength!¡± ¡°My only goal will forever be to clear the game in one go!¡± Meanwhile, Angelica could see the disapproval and ridicule comments from the live stream room from the corner of her eye, but she ignored them. Instead, she became more confident. Then, Angelica ran to the edge of the building and picked up the cable she had just seen. Afterward, Angelica retreated and ran until she reached the edge of the building and jumped down, holding the thick cable tightly in her hand. The prison building was usually high, and jumping from it would kill her. However, what if the cable length was exactly the same as the height of the building? Angelica had actually made a big bet. She might have fallen and died if the wire had been a bit longer. If the cable had been a little shorter, Angelica might have been injured if she had fallen to the ground from high. Any injuries could be fatal at that time since the ground was full of zombies. The moment Angelica jumped out of the building, she took off all the grenades she had and threw them into the crowd of zombies behind her. As Angelica¡¯s body flew into the air, an explosion happened behind her, blowing away countless zombies on the roof. The scene of the explosion and jumping off the building was enough to satisfy the millions of viewers in the live stream room. It could be said that it was one of the most spectacular scenes in the four consecutive Zombie Apocalypse games. Maybe it could be said that it was the most spectacular scene of the Zombie Apocalypse series. Furthermore, Angelica couldn¡¯t improve her in-game strength by purchasing other enhanced weapons, making her actions even more incredible. [Gosh! She¡¯s¡­ She¡¯s incredible!] [How can Angelica be so cool? I feel like I¡¯m in love!] [I won¡¯t like any other girl in my life! Angelica is such a perfect woman!] [Being pretty and good at playing games. What else do you want, Angelica? You¡¯ve sinned!] [I¡¯m sorry, host. I shouldn¡¯t have looked down on you just now!] [Everyone, apologize to Angelica! Whoever ridiculed her just now, I¡¯ll punish them!] As Angelica completed her god-like operation, the live stream room viewers immediately stopped looking down on her! Even if Angelica weren¡¯t completely out of danger, no one would think that Angelica would die at the hands of zombies like before. However, it was the truth. Angelica hugged the electric cable and jumped down from the roof. She had made the right bet! The cable length was just enough for a person to glide to the ground. After running for a while, Angelica landed smoothly without being injured. However, there were zombies everywhere on the ground at the time. The sudden appearance of a living person like Angelica immediately activated the zombies, and they rushed toward Angelica in a frenzy. Angelica kept picking up her weapons to fight while running toward Luther and the others. In the end, Angelica successfully retreated into the prison building under the cover of the others. The battle suddenly occurred and ended soon. It had only been a few short minutes from when Angelica reached the rooftop to when she successfully entered the building. However, such a short time made everyone watching the live stream exclaim in satisfaction. It was rare to see such an eye-candy battle shown in games. Furthermore, Angelica¡¯s final choice of battle method was so courageous. It could be said that she had already displayed her heroism to the extreme in the game! Angelica¡¯s actions undoubtedly conquered the countless viewers in the live stream room. Although many concurrent viewers watched Angelica¡¯s regular live streams, the proportion of viewers who would really convert into fans or loyal fans was small. However, in just a few minutes, Angelica¡¯s followers increased rapidly. They weren¡¯t ghost followers but active accounts watching Angelica¡¯s live stream! [It¡¯s so cool! Just from watching the battle, Angelica has become the gaming industry icon in my heart!] [The icon? If Angelica dares to claim to be inferior to others, no one will dare to claim to be the icon!] [Angelica is so cool. If I am as good as her at playing games, I would have become a streamer long ago!] [I¡¯ve watched many live streams of different streamers playing the Zombie Apocalypse series and World War Z. Even so, I still think that Angelica¡¯s live stream is the best!] [Oh my goodness! Surprisingly, Angelica survived. Is she still human?] The viewers, who had watched the battle from the beginning to the end, still wanted to watch more. They were still discussing what had just happened, venting the excitement in their hearts. It was because the scene was too shocking, just like a scene that would only appear in superhero movies. The scene of Angelica facing countless zombies alone, turning around with her back to the explosion, jumping off a building, and so on¡­ Every scene could leave a deep impression in anyone¡¯s heart. Meanwhile, while facing the viewers¡¯ praise, Angelica calmly accepted everyone¡¯s affirmation. After all, it was her true strength. It just so happened that Angelica was also a little tired due to the intense battle that happened just now. Angelica took the chance and decided to take a break from playing. She wanted to rest well and recover energy before continuing! ¡°Everyone, please wait a moment. I need to rest for a while.¡± ¡°Although the battle just now was very intense, I feel it isn¡¯t the last battle of Zombie Apocalypse IV, especially since Arcadia is floating on the sea.¡± ¡°I feel that something is behind Arcadia! The final battle will happen there!¡± Angelica spoke with certainty while interacting with the viewers. Angelica¡¯s predictions immediately won the support of many viewers. Furthermore, many viewers were convinced by Angelica¡¯s strength. The current situation was that the viewers would believe whatever Angelica said. It may be what the best streamer could achieve. Chapter 104 - 104 The Nightmarish Chop 104 The Nightmarish Chop After a while, Angelica finally finished resting. Since her energy and physical strength had recovered, she decided to continue the game. Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers also looked forward to how Angelica would play the game. After all, Angelica¡¯s performance just now was fascinating. It caused many viewers to have extremely high expectations of Angelica, and they weren¡¯t satisfied with Angelica¡¯s ability to clear the game in one go anymore. Everyone wanted to see Angelica perform godlike operations again. After returning to the game, Angelica, Luther, and the others went to the bathroom, where they found the zombies digging holes. They looked at the dark tunnel below. The tunnel was wider than a person¡¯s body, so even a strong adult man like Luther could pass through it easily without getting stuck. Therefore, everyone had the same idea. They naturally wanted to leave the prison through the tunnel. They had no other choice. After all, the outside of the prison was full of zombies, and they surrounded it. Hence, there was no other way to leave the prison. However, they were also worried about something. After all, the tunnel was dug by zombies, so there might be zombies in the tunnel. Once a person entered, it would be hazardous to suddenly encounter zombies in such a narrow place. ¡°I¡¯ll take the lead. You guys follow me.¡± At this crucial moment, Chris took the initiative to step forward and take on the leading role! It could be said that the first person to enter would face the most dangerous situation because once there were zombies inside, Chris would be the first to suffer. Upon hearing it, the live stream room viewers immediately praised Chris as a real man. [Chris is a real man!] [As expected of Claire¡¯s brother! You really have balls!] [Just based on what you said, I¡¯m buying the game. I¡¯ll definitely go into the game and get close to Chris!] [I think I¡¯ve fallen in love with Chris, even though I¡¯m a man!] [Me too. It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve felt that a man is so handsome, and my heart fluttered!] [It must be secured to be with such a person!] Angelica was surprised as well. She thought that Su Ping had arranged a potent NPC partner for the players in this game. First, Angelica met Claire again. Although Claire had lost her memory, she was still a powerful helper. As for Chris, he was basically the guide for the players in the game. He guided the players on leaving prison and continuing the game. Angelica couldn¡¯t imagine how the players would clear the game without Chris. After Chris entered, Luther naturally became the second. Meanwhile, two people had already entered the tunnel. Only Angelica, Claire, and a man in a blue shirt were left in the bathroom. Just as the three of them were discussing who would be the third to enter, nobody expected that a huge axe would suddenly fall from the sky and directly split the man¡¯s body in two! Blood splattered everywhere, and the smell of blood instantly filled the originally clean bathroom. The scene shocked Angelica and all the viewers in the live-stream room. It shocked Angelica so much that she screamed during the live stream. ¡°Aah!¡± ¡°What is this? What the hell is this?¡± No matter how brave Angelica was, she was still a girl. Even if she had played many games in the Zombie Apocalypse series, she had never seen such a bloody scene. Nobody could bear the scene of seeing a person who had been fine a few seconds ago split in half by a giant axe the next moment. It could be said that Angelica was the calmest of them all. If it were someone who had a weak mental capacity or didn¡¯t play many zombie open-world games¡­ They would probably be scared out of their wits if they suddenly encountered such a scene. They might even trigger the system¡¯s threshold and be kicked out of the game. The viewers also expressed their shock in the comments. [Fuck! Su Ping, do you want to die? You won¡¯t stop until you scare us to death, right?] [Damn Su Ping! I thought you¡¯d turned over a new leaf and became a good person. I shouldn¡¯t have trusted you!] [Su Ping, you¡¯re out of your mind. You¡¯re purposely scaring us, right?!] [I¡¯ll feel sorry for Angelica for two seconds. Su Ping is a scumbag. He¡¯s deliberately creating such a scene to scare people!] [Host, I¡¯ll give you a hug, don¡¯t be afraid. It¡¯s just a game!] Some live stream room viewers criticized Su Ping, while others comforted and encouraged Angelica. They hoped that Angelica could quickly pull herself together and continue fighting. Angelica had subconsciously paused the game when she was frightened, and it took a while for her to calm down. Angelica resumed the game once her breathing and heart rate gradually returned to normal. At this moment, Angelica finally saw what the thing holding the giant axe and killing the man was. It was the giant zombie who had been crazily smashing the prison door! It suddenly dawned on Angelica why the man in the suit escaped with the plane when she and Chris arrived at the rooftop. She also knew how the zombies broke into the prison. The prison gate was broken by the giant zombie¡¯s huge metal axe! Moreover, the giant zombie had chased them all the way here, wanting to kill everyone in the bathroom! Angelica subconsciously retaliated, sending a flying kick at the giant zombie¡¯s head. However, the situation didn¡¯t go as Angelica expected. She failed to kick the giant zombie to the ground, and the giant zombie didn¡¯t even move. The giant zombie stood firmly with the bloodied giant axe in its hand. It was as solid as a rock, not moving at all. The giant zombie¡¯s combat strength was beyond what the common zombies could match. Although Angelica failed in her attack, she wasn¡¯t discouraged. Instead, she rolled away to distance herself from the giant zombie. Afterward, Angelica immediately pulled out two scatterguns from her waist and was ready to pull the trigger and shoot the giant zombie¡¯s head. However, another accident happened. Suddenly, Angelica felt a sharp pain in her waist. Afterward, she felt her body spinning and smashing against the bathroom wall. Chapter 105 - 105 At Crunch Time 105 At Crunch Time It turned out that the giant zombie had taken advantage of the brief moment before Angelica fired her shot and hit her body with the metal hammer in its hand. Then, Angelica realized she could no longer control Alice¡¯s body in the game. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why can¡¯t I move?¡± Angelica was caught off guard by the situation and couldn¡¯t react until she saw the reminder in the comments¡­ [Host, are you a pig? Didn¡¯t you notice that you have changed to the third-person view?!] [Angelica, you¡¯re so stupid. Alice has been knocked unconscious by the hammer just now, so you can¡¯t continue to control her body!] [The host is foolish and naive. After being attacked so heavily just now, it would be a miracle if nothing happened to Alice!] After reading the comments, Angelica looked around and found that Alice was unconscious on the ground with her eyes closed. The giant zombie with the giant axe was slowly walking towards her. It had already raised the giant axe in its hand and was ready to cut Alice¡¯s body in half. At this point, Angelica had completely given up on resisting because there was nothing she could do, even if she didn¡¯t give up. She had lost control of Alice¡¯s body and couldn¡¯t fight her fate of certain death. However, suddenly, a few consecutive gunshots jolted Angelica. Angelica said excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s Claire! Claire hasn¡¯t entered the tunnel just now. She¡¯s helping me buy time!¡± After that, Angelica tried hard to regain control of Alice¡¯s body, hoping she could return to the game as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the giant zombie was attacked by Claire and had already started to chase after her for a counterattack. Claire kept fighting the giant zombie in the bathroom, trying to buy more time. Unfortunately, the giant zombie was too strong. No matter where Claire hid, the giant zombie could kill her with one swing of its axe. Seeing the scene, the viewers all felt that it was a pity. [Sigh, Claire is courageous and didn¡¯t abandon Angelica, but with their strength, they would be wiped out by the giant zombie!] [It¡¯s such a pity. Angelica was so cool before, but she still fell at the hands of the giant zombie!] [By the way, don¡¯t you guys think that the giant zombie is too strong? It is simply unreasonable! Unless Angelica can still use her powers!] [I also think Zombie Apocalypse IV is too difficult. Su Ping, can you consider adding the superpower back if you¡¯re watching the live stream?] In the game, Claire successfully dodged the giant zombie¡¯s attack with a slide and slid under the giant zombie¡¯s body. Claire also used her scattergun to hit the giant zombie¡¯s body. The powerful impact of the scattergun directly knocked the giant zombie to the ground, and the giant zombie fell! The scene shocked the millions of viewers in the live stream room, but before they cheered¡­ The giant zombie slowly got up from the ground. Claire thought she had taken care of this terrifying enemy and was now facing Angelica¡­ At this moment, the giant zombie¡¯s axe was swinging at Claire extremely fast. Claire¡¯s fate was already foreseeable. [Damn! Claire is going to be dead!] [What a pity. If Claire gets hit by the axe¡¯s sharp side, she won¡¯t have any chance of survival!] [You still expect that she will survive being chopped in two?!] [Where¡¯s the host? Host, hurry up and wake up to save her!] [Host, stop sleeping. The giant zombie will kill your teammates if you continue sleeping!] The viewers were so anxious that they kept urging Angelica to stand up and fight the zombie as soon as possible. Perhaps it was the setting of the plot or the viewers¡¯ shouts that had an effect. Angelica recognized that she had taken back control of Alice¡¯s body at this crucial moment, which indicated that Alice had awakened! Angelica thought, ¡°Wow, as expected of Alice to wake up now! With such physical fitness, wouldn¡¯t she be able to win the world championships in reality?¡± As Angelica regained her ability to move, she pounced on Claire and pushed her to the ground. Meanwhile, the giant zombie¡¯s axe approached and flew past the two of them. The scene made everyone watching the live stream feel their scalps go numb. Just a little more, and Claire would¡¯ve been cut in half! If Angelica had been a little slower in saving Claire, it would have been a buy-one-free one, and the two of them would have died together! [Phew! Luckily, Angelica woke up in time. Otherwise, they will be doomed!] [As expected of Angelica, I knew you could do it!] [I remember seeing someone mocking Angelica just now. Why can they change their attitude so quickly?] [Fuck! Zombie Apocalypse IV is even more exciting than World War Z. The axe that swung at them just now gave me goosebumps!] [Haha! Me too! Although I¡¯m facing the computer screen, I feel like a gust of wind is blowing across my body. I feel chills down my spine!] Finally, Angelica and Claire were out of danger, and the viewers sighed in relief. As Angelica and Claire had used a lot of strength to attack the giant zombie, it was in a state of stiffness after the attack. Taking advantage of the perfect opportunity, Angelica quickly picked up the two scatterguns the giant zombie had knocked to the ground. Angelica immediately aimed at the giant zombie¡¯s head and fired two shots! The two guns were loaded with special bullets made by Angelica. The bullets weren¡¯t made of regular metal bullets but of countless coins! Hence, no matter how big the giant zombie¡¯s head was, it was instantly blown apart when the two bullets were fired. At this point, there was no way the headless giant zombie could be resurrected! Finally, the thrilling battle ended with Angelica¡¯s victory! Although the battle ended abruptly, the viewers believed it was because of Angelica¡¯s precise shooting. Moreover, Angelica had experienced many dangerous situations, so naturally, no one would say anything. The viewers also acknowledged the difficulty of Zombie Apocalypse IV. After killing the giant zombie, Angelica and Claire could finally enter the tunnel to look for Chris and the others. Chapter 106 - 106 Escape From Prison 106 Escape From Prison After entering the tunnel, the situation inside seemed different from what Angelica had imagined. No zombies were hiding inside the tunnel and attacked her. Most of the zombies in the tunnel had left, probably because the prison gate was broken. ¡°It seems like the right path. I must catch up with Chris and the others as soon as possible, so I can leave this damn place!¡± Angelica said in a light-hearted tone. Of course, even if Angelica¡¯s attitude was quite optimistic at the moment, the viewers in the live stream room had different opinions. [This can¡¯t be. This time, four of you survived? There are too many survivors!] [That¡¯s right. According to Su Ping¡¯s personality, I can guarantee that there will be other accidents later. He won¡¯t let you clear the game so easily!] [Host, I suggest you be careful. Su Ping might have prepared a ¡°big prize¡± for you!] Although Angelica disagreed with the viewers¡¯ evaluation and speculation about Su Ping, she still accepted their reminders. After careful exploration, Angelica finally found Luther and the others. They eventually left the end of the tunnel to the sewer under the prison. Angelica immediately felt a sense of freedom when she jumped out of the tunnel. Although the smell in the sewer wasn¡¯t pleasant, it was much more comfortable than the dark and narrow tunnel. Moreover, tens of thousands of zombies surrounded the prison, which made it hard for anyone to be in a good mood. Soon, Chris, Claire, and Angelica reached the sewer. Luther was the last to arrive. He had been picking up Angelica and Claire. However, a zombie suddenly appeared next to Luther and grabbed him when he was about to jump down. Luther began to fight back with all his might. Although he could defeat the zombie with strength, the tunnel collapsed because of their big movements. Then, a large number of sandstones fell from the entrance of the tunnel. At this time, when everyone looked up, they could no longer see the tunnel exit. At this moment, Luther could be declared dead! The scene stunned Angelica, and she couldn¡¯t help but say. ¡°What? How can something like this happen?¡± The live stream room viewers couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter. [Haha! Although it¡¯s a pity that Luther died in such a way, I can only say the situation matches Su Ping¡¯s style!] [That¡¯s right! To be an NPC in Su Ping¡¯s game, they must be prepared to be sacrificed for no reason!] [What a classic scene! It¡¯s Su Ping¡¯s daily operation!] [Everyone, sit down. Why are you all so surprised? It¡¯s just Su Ping¡¯s daily operation!] Angelica looked at the blocked tunnel above her and was speechless. She didn¡¯t know how to describe her current feelings. However, the game still had to go on. Since Luther was just an NPC, Angelica wouldn¡¯t restart the game to save Luther. If Angelica did it, she would break her record of clearing the game in one try. So, no matter how helpless Angelica felt, she could only walk along the sewer with Chris and Claire. [Are they finally going to Arcadia to unlock the final plot? It seems like the game is finally coming to an end!] [I don¡¯t know why, but Arcadia gives me the feeling that the final battle will happen there!] [That¡¯s right! I¡¯m looking forward to seeing what¡¯s inside the place called Arcadia. I wonder if the situation in Arcadia is the same as the radio mentioned that there are many survivors inside and being civilized?] [Host, walk faster. Hurry up and catch up with the team!] The live stream room viewers urged Angelica to speed up. Everyone watching the live stream was curious about the mysterious Arcadia. Finally, after a long journey by Angelica, Chris, and the others, they found Arcadia that floated on the sea by driving a small boat. The big ship seemed huge, like a giant in front of the small boat. The viewers were touched to see such a magnificent human creation in the dead, silent apocalypse. It was like a person in the dark suddenly seeing a ray of light or someone wandering in the mountains and unexpectedly returning to civilization. [Boo-hoo! I hope that the people on the ship can be friendly. In this way, the game should be able to end smoothly!] [Huh, you wish! There must be something big behind the ship. Besides, didn¡¯t you notice that the sea area¡¯s atmosphere seems strange?] [Could it be a ghost ship?] [It¡¯s hard to say. Maybe there¡¯s not a single living person on the ship!] Just as Angelica and the others were about to board the ship, the live stream room viewers couldn¡¯t help but start discussing Arcadia. Everyone was guessing what was on the ship. Everyone wondered whether it was the only uncontaminated location depicting the survivors of civilization after the apocalypse or whether it was merely a con. Finally, the three of them boarded the large ship. However, everyone was dumbfounded after they saw the scene in front of them. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Didn¡¯t they say that there were many survivors on the ship? Why is there nothing on the deck? Even if people lived in the cabin, we should be able to meet some survivors on the deck, right?!¡± Angelica didn¡¯t know how to convince herself to continue believing what she had heard from the broadcast. Suddenly, Angelica saw something familiar on the deck not far away, emitting black smoke. When Angelica walked over, she realized it was the plane she had flown in. The pilot¡¯s skills were obviously terrible. The pilot might have caused the plane to crash on the ship. However, Angelica wasn¡¯t sure whether the pilot was alive. ¡°Sigh, I might have missed something. I should find the wheelhouse first. There should be the ship¡¯s sailing log there.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see what happened to the ship and find out how it became like this.¡± Angelica said helplessly. She then led Chris and the others to look for the wheelhouse. After a while, the three of them finally entered the wheelhouse. They turned on the computer in the wheelhouse and began retrieving the ship¡¯s information. The ship was very modern, and they could find all the information they needed on the computer. Angelica was again astounded when she discovered the number and status of the crew members on the ship. She looked at the number displayed on the screen and said in shock. ¡°What?! There are still more than 2000 survivors on the ship?¡± Chapter 107 - 107 Arcadias Secret 107 Arcadia¡¯s Secret Angelica was dumbfounded. ¡°What the heck is going on? I didn¡¯t see anyone on the deck just now. There¡¯s no one in the wheelhouse either.¡± ¡°Why does the computer still show that there are more than 2000 survivors on the ship? Is there a problem with the system data?¡± Angelica couldn¡¯t help but say, but Chris quickly rejected her idea. The live stream room viewers were also guessing where the people were. [Could it be that the ship is fully automated? The ship can keep sailing on the sea after setting the cruise route?] [Don¡¯t tell me that everyone on the ship lives in a completely sealed cabin¡­ It¡¯s too scary¡­ There are more than 2000 people!] [I think they live in the cabin to avoid the zombies. They don¡¯t want to leak the scents of humans and attract the zombies!] [Your idea is a bit ridiculous. The ship is sailing on the sea, so there¡¯s no need to be afraid of zombies since the zombies can¡¯t swim!] [Anyway, I hope the host can go to the cabin and take a look. There might be a big surprise there!] Angelica hesitated for a while, then looked at the suggestions in the comments. Finally, she decided to go to the cabin to find the answer. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go down to have a look. I hope there are more than 2000 survivors here. It¡¯ll definitely be the biggest treasure in the apocalyptic world!¡± Angelica¡¯s words received widespread approval from the viewers. It was because Angelica was right. It had been a few years since the apocalypse had occurred. From what they had seen before, it was likely that there were not many living people left in the world. Two thousand people was a huge number. As long as the supply of energy, safety, and food were guaranteed, they could take on the responsibility of reviving human civilization! Soon, Angelica, Chris, and Claire arrived at the cabin. It was like a huge metal palace. They followed the passage and walked deeper. Finally, they arrived in front of a large door. When Angelica shone the light of the flashlight at the center of the door, everyone held their breath. Everyone¡¯s eyes were wide open, their pupils revealing a look of disbelief. It was because they saw a red and white symbol in front of them! [Is this¡­ The logo of Umbrella Corporation? How is that possible?] [Why will the ship have the logo of Umbrella Corporation? Is this ship Umbrella Corporation¡¯s property? Then what¡¯s with the 2000 survivors?] [I¡¯m a little puzzled now. Umbrella Corporation wants to destroy humanity, but why did they build such a ship to protect the survivors?] Just as the live stream room viewers were enthusiastically discussing the matter, Claire, who was next to Angelica, suddenly held her head and shook it wildly. Angelica and Chris rushed over to check on Claire. Soon, Claire was back to normal and regained her lost memories. Umbrella Corporation¡¯s logo might have triggered Claire to regain her memory. According to the information provided by Claire, after she and the other survivors arrived in Alaska on a helicopter, they were soon attacked by Umbrella Corporation. The people from Umbrella Corporation had caught them and equipped them with mind-controlling mechanical spiders. Only Claire had been lucky enough to escape and meet Angelica. After understanding what had happened in the past, Angelica opened the front hatch. As the lights lit up section by section, a huge cabin appeared in front of everyone. However, the strange thing was that there was nothing in the cabin. It was clean and empty. [What¡¯s going on? Why is there nothing in the cabin?] [Could there be a compartment on the ship, and Umbrella Corporation hid everyone somewhere else?] [I don¡¯t think so. This cabin is already big enough. I don¡¯t think Umbrella Corporation can make another cabin of the same size. Moreover, it¡¯s unnecessary to do so!] [As expected of Umbrella Corporation to deliberately make such mysterious things!] [To be honest, this cabin looks pretty good. It¡¯s so clean, like a spaceship in a science fiction movie.] [Host, I suggest you look for the mechanism in this cabin. Maybe you need to trigger some mechanism to reveal the real appearance of this cabin!] After looking at the live stream viewers¡¯ suggestions, Angelica also agreed that there might be a mechanism in the cabin. Hence, she began to reach out to feel the ground and the surrounding walls. Chris and Claire were also helping to find the mechanism. Maybe it was because Angelica had played a few Zombie Apocalypse series games before, and she was considered a veteran in dealing with Umbrella Corporation. Hence, Angelica was unsurprisingly the first to find the mechanism. As Angelica pressed a cylindrical icon on the ground, a large amount of white mist rose. One by one, the cylindrical containers rose slowly and appeared in front of everyone. The distance between each cylindrical container was fixed, and they were densely packed like a large mechanical array, giving off an icy feeling. Moreover, people were stored inside these containers in a frozen state! These people were all alive! They must have undergone some specific treatment, entering a state of low-temperature hibernation! The live stream room viewers were stunned. [Fuck! It¡¯s the hibernation technology! Is Umbrella Corporation strong enough to invent such an advanced technology?!] [No wonder Umbrella Corporation can turn the world into such a state with its strength. It turns out that they have mastered the hibernation technology!] [To be honest, no wonder the world has become like this since Umbrella Corporation has such advanced technology. Even in reality, there shouldn¡¯t be any country that has such advanced technology, right?] [This is a mature hibernation technology. Theoretically, I¡¯m afraid it will take at least decades to achieve it in reality!] [Damn Umbrella Corporation! They lured the survivors here to freeze them all in the container! Afterward, they¡¯ll use the survivors for experiments!] [This is simply insane!] Meanwhile, Angelica and the viewers had the same thought. The actions of Umbrella Corporation were completely beyond words! Chapter 108 - 108 Wesker, the Root of Evil 108 Wesker, the Root of Evil After being shocked, Angelica quickly took a tablet on the control panel and scrolled through the survivors¡¯ names. ¡°Since Claire said that Umbrella Corporation captured them, it¡¯s very likely that the other people on the plane were also on this ship!¡± Angelica analyzed the situation calmly. She was looking for her target while explaining her actions to the viewers. As expected, Angelica found Matt in the list of survivors after scrolling through the survivors¡¯ names in the system! Then, Angelica decisively rescued Matt from the hibernation chamber. Suddenly, Angelica noticed blood stains in a few containers in the distance, and the blood stains were all over the way to another place. Angelica immediately became alert, and she vaguely realized something. She began to follow the blood stains on the ground carefully. When she came to another cabin, she saw a man in a suit sitting on a white chair. The chair was like a throne, making the man sitting on it look domineering. ¡°Wesker!¡± Angelica blurted out. Wesker was no stranger to any player who had played the Zombie Apocalypse series. Wesker could even be considered the player¡¯s absolute nemesis. It could be said that he was the current head of Umbrella Corporation! After Zombie Apocalypse III was released, some players even began to search for Wesker all over the world in the game, wanting to kill him. After all, in Zombie Apocalypse III, Alice had superpowers. If the players could kill Wesker in advance, it would be a very eye-catching achievement. Unfortunately, nobody could accomplish the achievement until now since Wesker was too difficult to deal with. Moreover, the game plot didn¡¯t mention Wesker much, so the players could only guess and imagine everything about Wesker. Now that the final boss behind the scenes had finally appeared in front of Angelica, the live stream room viewers instantly became excited. [The final boss of Zombie Apocalypse IV turns out to be Wesker! Haha! We finally have a chance to take revenge!] [Although I also hope that Wesker will die, I have to say that he looks quite handsome right now.] [I¡¯ve wanted to punch this son of a bitch for a long time. Thank you, Su Ping, for allowing me to do it!] [Su Ping¡¯s behavior is worthy of praise. The 150 yuan for purchasing Zombie Apocalypse IV is worth spending when we can beat up Wesker!] [Host, hurry up and show Wesker your power!] The viewers could not wait to see the battle between Angelica and Wesker. However, as a player in the game, Angelica would not act so rashly. Angelica thought, ¡°Something will happen after Wesker suddenly appears in front of me, right?¡± Finally, Wesker slowly opened his mouth. He was wearing sunglasses and a black suit, sitting in the cabin like an emperor. After listening to Wesker¡¯s words, Angelica finally understood what kind of existence the ship was. It turned out that the ship wasn¡¯t used to save survivors at all. Its real purpose was to wander back and forth on the coastline and attract the survivors on land to the ship through the broadcast. Then, everyone who boarded the ship would be caught and locked in a container to be frozen. Wesker had survived the previous collision at the top of the mountain, but the zombie virus in his body slowly spiraled out of control since he was severely injured. Wesker had to keep taking in new human DNA to keep himself conscious. Hence, the real purpose of the ship was for Wesker! The people on the ship were all his food! After hearing it, no one could help but be dumbstruck. No one had expected the truth to be like this! [Fuck! Is he still a human?! I think he is a zombie who looks like a human!] [You¡¯re insulting zombies if you call him a zombie. He is worst than a beast!] [What an evil person! I hope Angelica can beat him up and then kill him. It¡¯s best not to let him die without being tortured!] [He looks like a human, but I didn¡¯t expect him to be such a demon!] Angelica was also shocked by what Wesker had done. Su Ping¡¯s imagination had gone beyond her grasp. Furthermore, Wesker also said that Alice¡¯s genes were the most perfect because she was the only person who had successfully fused human genes with the zombie virus. Therefore, as long as Wesker ate Alice, he could become the world¡¯s perfect and even more powerful creature! Although the purpose was also ridiculous, with what Wesker had done before as foreshadowing, the viewers were relatively calm at this time. Of course, Angelica wouldn¡¯t allow herself to be seized without putting up a fight since she still had two scatterguns in her hands. However, before Angelica could attack Wesker, she heard a familiar man¡¯s voice behind her. The live stream room viewers immediately cursed in the comments. [Fuck! It¡¯s the bastard who escaped with the plane! He¡¯s still alive!] [How can such a person survive? Why didn¡¯t he die after the crash!] [Urgh! It¡¯s so disgusting! How can the game plot let this kind of bastard threaten the host to put down her weapon!] [Su Ping is definitely doing this on purpose. Under normal circumstances, no one would be alive after a plane crash!] In the face of the man¡¯s threat, Angelica knew she couldn¡¯t force her way through, so she obediently threw her weapon on the ground. However, Angelica had another plan. She threw her weapon to let the man behind her and Wesker temporarily let their guard down. Suddenly, Angelica jumped up and kicked a metal plate on the shelf beside her. There were many knives on the metal plate, and with Angelica¡¯s precise control of strength, all the knives were shot at Wesker with their sharpest sides. Of course, the weapons wouldn¡¯t be effective and wouldn¡¯t hurt Wesker, but they were enough to attract his attention for a while. Angelica immediately took the opportunity and kicked the traitor behind her, causing him to fall to the ground. Even though Angelica could no longer use her superpowers, her physical fitness wasn¡¯t something the traitor could compare to. Angelica directly kicked him to the ground. The situation between the three in the cabin instantly changed, and Angelica seemed to have regained the initiative! Chapter 109 - 109 Wesker Has Superpowers 109 Wesker Has Superpowers [Well done, Angelica!] [Good job! Beat up this bastard Wesker!] [Haha! I¡¯ve wanted to do this for a long time. Thank you, host, for helping me fulfill my dream!] [A year from today will be Wesker¡¯s death anniversary!] The live stream room viewers immediately became excited when they saw Angelica had regained the initiative in the battle. Everyone shouted and encouraged Angelica to finish off Wesker and end the battle quickly! Meanwhile, Angelica looked at the scatterguns that had fallen to the ground. She was ready to pick up her gun and shoot Wesker to death. However, nobody didn¡¯t expect two zombie dogs to walk over right after that, and their bodies were cut in half from the middle. On the cut surface of the body, everyone could see rows of sharp teeth, which looked disgusting. It would also make some timid to be fear of it. [Damn, what kind of dog is this? How can its body be divided into two parts?] [The dog can still move when its brain is cut in half?] [Does the zombie dogs in Zombie Apocalypse IV evolve to such a level?] [What the heck! Even dogs are powerful now! What will the zombies in Zombie Apocalypse V look like?] [The situation seems to be tricky now. Wesker has zombie dogs!] The situation was changing every minute and every second, and the live stream room viewers constantly changed their judgment. Sometimes they had faith in Angelica, and sometimes they were worried about her. After all, Angelica had reached the final stage of the game. There was a high chance that she would be able to clear the game if she completed the stage and defeated Wesker. Moreover, she could clear the game in one go, as usual. It was definitely a magnificent feat. Currently, there was no other game streamer in the entire world who could achieve Angelica¡¯s achievement. Although Wesker had two zombie dogs to help him, Claire and Chris arrived in time to help Angelica. However, nobody expected Wesker would suddenly take off his sunglasses and throw them at Angelica, temporarily distracting her. Then, Wesker disappeared on the spot! Almost instantly, Wesker appeared behind Chris and Claire and knocked them both to the ground! The scene shocked the live stream room viewers. [Did¡­ Did Wesker just teleport?] [Wait! It¡¯s so unfair! Why is Angelica¡¯s superpower banned, but Wesker has superpowers?!] [Su Ping, look at this! It¡¯s so unfair! Angelica should be able to use superpowers too!] The viewers expressed their dissatisfaction with the situation in the comments. They thought that Angelica should have superpowers when the final boss had them. However, Su Ping wouldn¡¯t answer the players¡¯ questions. Besides, he wasn¡¯t watching the live stream at the moment. Although the fact that Wesker had superpowers shocked Angelica, she did not give up. The battle was far from a definite loss. Angelica picked up the two scatterguns on the ground and pulled the trigger at Wesker, who was in the distance. However, while facing the endless bullets, Wesker used his teleportation superpower again. Wesker dodged back and forth continuously, accurately dodging every bullet! Firearms were ineffective against Wesker! It was definitely a huge piece of bad news! [What do we do now? We can¡¯t even shoot this bastard!] [Damn it, Su Ping! Don¡¯t tell me he will let the players fail in clearing the game! Could it be that the game¡¯s ending was a tragedy?] [If Su Ping dares to do that, I¡¯ll deliver the blade to his house tomorrow!] Meanwhile, Angelica was thinking about how to solve the situation. Wesker was hijacking Claire. Suddenly, she pulled out a dagger from her waist and stabbed it into Wesker¡¯s thigh. Afterward, she temporarily escaped from his control. However, Claire¡¯s good fortune didn¡¯t last long. In the eyes of Wesker, who could teleport, no one could escape because no one was faster than him. Soon, Chris and Claire were thrown into two hibernation chambers by Wesker. The hibernation chamber doors instantly shut, and they slowly descended to the chamber¡¯s floor. No matter how much Chris and Claire struggled, they couldn¡¯t break the sturdy hibernation chamber. Now that Claire and Chris were locked up, Angelica was the only one left in the cabin to face all the enemies, including the two zombie dogs. [Angelica is doomed now! Her helpers are all locked up. How can Angelica fight so many enemies by herself?!] [It¡¯s already difficult for Angelica to deal with Wesker, and now there are two zombie dogs. Is she going to fail here?] [Sigh, forget it. Su Ping must have deliberately created such a scene! It¡¯s not Angelica¡¯s fault!] [That¡¯s right! The host has done her best. Everyone, if you want to fight, go for Su Ping!] Meanwhile, Angelica had already started fighting with two zombie dogs in the game. The two zombie dogs would split their bodies into two once they entered combat mode, trying to wrap Angelica¡¯s head with their bodies. Afterward, they would use the sharp fangs in their bodies to tear Angelica into pieces. Of course, Angelica wouldn¡¯t put herself in danger. Although Wesker could dodge bullets, the zombie dogs couldn¡¯t! ¡°Go to hell! You gross!¡± Angelica had long been disgusted by these zombie dogs. In the entire Zombie Apocalypse series, what Angelica hated the most was not the zombies. Instead, Angelica hated the red zombie dogs with unknown liquids flowing from their bodies the most! It was because Angelica was a dog lover in reality. She naturally felt disgusted when she saw the appalling zombie dogs in the game. Angelica picked up a scattergun, aimed it at a zombie dog pouncing at her, and pulled the trigger decisively. With a bang, the bullet instantly turned the zombie dog¡¯s body into a sieve. Angelica easily killed a zombie dog. However, there was another zombie dog that was attacking Angelica. Meanwhile, Angelica had just shot a transparent glass in the air. The zombie dog couldn¡¯t see the glass and didn¡¯t know what it was. The piece of glass was about to fall between Angelica and the zombie dog, so Angelica thought of a plan to get rid of the zombie dog! Chapter 110 - 110 Killing Wesker 110 Killing Wesker As the transparent glass in the air fell, the remaining zombie dog was getting closer and closer to Angelica. Finally, Angelica found an opportunity. She raised her leg and kicked one side of the transparent glass, making the entire glass cut toward the zombie dog like a blade. The glass and the zombie dog both moved at high speeds, so the collision was quite powerful. The zombie dog was dead because the shard of glass had been nailed to its body. In less than a minute, Angelica had killed two zombie dogs in a row, which caused the live stream room viewers to cheer. However, an accident suddenly happened before everyone could continue cheering. The man who had escaped with the plane and been knocked unconscious by Angelica just now had woken up. He even picked up a dagger from the ground and attacked Angelica while she was focused on the zombie dog! The dagger pierced through Angelica¡¯s arm! ¡°Hiss! It hurts!¡± Angelica let out a blood-curdling scream as she felt her vision blur. She was so close to being kicked out of the game by the system¡¯s emergency mechanism. Fortunately, Angelica had strong willpower and was a veteran of zombie open-world games. Her tolerance for pain during the game was far beyond that of ordinary people. In the end, Angelica persisted. Meanwhile, Wesker opened his mouth wide, and a few tentacles full of teeth reached out from his mouth, ready to eat Angelica alive. Angelica gritted her teeth, grabbed the dagger on her arm, and pulled it out! Then, Angelica stabbed the dagger into Wesker¡¯s forehead! Wesker took a few steps back and slowly fell onto the white throne he had been sitting on from the beginning. Angelica was panting heavily. Her body was drenched in sweat due to the intense pain. Angelica believed that it was the most dangerous and difficult battle she had ever experienced since she started playing the Zombie Apocalypse series. Many viewers in the live stream room were shocked by Angelica¡¯s performance, especially when she continued to fight despite the dagger piercing her arm. Moreover, the viewers were shocked when Angelica pulled the dagger out of her arm. The scene had a strong visual impact. [Fuck! Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Did Angelica pull the dagger out of her arm?] [Is she even human? Angelica is more manly than most men in the world!] [Oh my goodness! It¡¯s so scary¡­ If it were me, I would have been kicked out of the game when the dagger stabbed me!] [It¡¯s difficult to imagine how badly Angelica wants to clear the game in one go. I now announce that nobody can smear Angelica¡¯s reputation in playing games!] [Based on Angelica¡¯s desire for victory, I won¡¯t allow any anti-fans to slander her in the future! She has earned her current popularity through her strength!] [Angelica endured the pain of the dagger piercing her arm and pulled it out herself. I believe that nobody can do it as well as her!] [By the way, Wesker should be dead now, right? After all, the dagger was already in his head. Even if he¡¯s a zombie, he shouldn¡¯t be able to survive!] Suddenly, someone mentioned Wesker, and the viewers¡¯ attention gradually shifted from Angelica to Wesker. However, even though the dagger had pierced Wesker¡¯s brain, he didn¡¯t die. He even stood up again. Wesker reached out his tentacles full of teeth again, trying to eat Angelica. At that moment, Angelica suddenly heard a familiar voice. It was Matt! ¡°Haha! That¡¯s great! I opened Matt¡¯s hibernation chamber, and he finally woke up!¡± Matt noticed that Alice was looking at him, so he grabbed another scattergun from the ground and threw it over. Alice grabbed the end of the scattergun. With a series of smooth movements, the muzzle of the scattergun was aimed at Wesker. Meanwhile, Wesker¡¯s mind was filled with the thought of eating Alice, and the tentacles from his mouth blocked most of his vision. As a result, Wesker had no way to dodge at all. With a loud bang, Angelica poured all the bullets from the scattergun into Wesker¡¯s mouth, blowing out a big hole in the back of his head! Afterward, Wesker fell to the ground. This time, he was seriously injured, and the bullets had blown up nearly half of his brain. [He¡¯s dead? Wesker¡¯s death is too hasty!] [Haha! Could it be that Wesker is actually a foodie? He said he wanted to eat Angelica, so he couldn¡¯t move when he saw Angelica!] [Although the host won, I still want to say that Wesker obviously went easy on her!] [Phew! Luckily, the host won. If the host can¡¯t clear the game with such an excellent performance, what will we, normal players, do?] [That¡¯s right! The host is the best!] [I declare that Angelica is the best game streamer in the world!] [We¡¯re the champion of tonight¡¯s gaming live stream section! We¡¯re also the first live stream in the world to clear Zombie Apocalypse IV!] A happy mood filled the live stream room when Angelica finally defeated Wesker. The viewers were commenting or sending gifts to celebrate the moment. It was obvious that there must be a large number of video creators currently screen-recording Angelica¡¯s live stream. Soon, they would post Angelica¡¯s god-like operation in Zombie Apocalypse IV on all major video websites. Countless people would praise Angelica¡¯s gaming skills. ¡°Haha! Thank you for your congratulations, but I shall help my two friends out of the hibernation chamber first. It¡¯s pretty cold in there.¡± Angelica also showed a sincere smile while looking at the live stream room viewers cheering for her. Afterward, Angelica found the tablet used to control the hibernation chamber and found Claire and Chris. Soon, the hibernation chamber rose again, and the lid was opened. The first thing the two of them did when they came out was to pick up their weapons and look for Wesker, who was already lying dead on the ground. Many viewers were puzzled while watching the scene. [What are they doing?] [Isn¡¯t Wesker already killed by the host? What are they doing there?] [Could it be that the temperature of the hibernation chamber is too low, and their heads are frozen? What a pity!] Chapter 111 - 111 Foretell Like a Prophet 111 Foretell Like a Prophet Chris and Claire walked to Wesker¡¯s corpse and pulled out pistols simultaneously. They fired at Wesker¡¯s corpse until they ran out of bullets in their magazine before they turned around and left. The viewers were stunned by the scene. [Pfft! They are indeed siblings. Their vengeful personality is definitely inherited from their parents!] [Haha! Poor Wesker! Angelica has already blown half his head off, and his corpse is whipped!] [He deserves it! If it were me, I would probably shoot him twice too!] [That¡¯s right. It¡¯s too easy for Wesker to die so easily!] The viewers went from confusion to sudden realization and understanding. Almost no one objected to what the siblings were doing. Wesker sinned, so he deserved to suffer such treatment. Finally, Angelica saved her friends and killed Wesker. Afterward, she and the others gathered again and prepared to leave the cabin. However, the traitor Angelica had not killed was locked up in the cabin! The traitor would definitely end up in a miserable state! Meanwhile, many viewers began to question Angelica¡¯s actions in the comments. The viewers were puzzled about Angelica locking up the man in the cabin while no living creatures were inside. [Host, why did you do that? You have killed the two zombie dogs and Wesker. What¡¯s the point of locking him up alone?] [Let me guess. Could it be that in the host¡¯s eyes, Wesker isn¡¯t dead? After all, he¡¯s the biggest villain in the game so far. Wouldn¡¯t it be boring if he just died like this?] [I don¡¯t think so¡­ Angelica had blown up half of that guy¡¯s brain. How can he still be alive?] [It¡¯s hard to say¡­ It¡¯s a game, though. Obviously, Wesker is not human anymore. Who knows if he can still come back to life?] [Eh? What¡¯s the host doing?] Meanwhile, some viewers noticed that Angelica seemed to be moving a disc-shaped object into a plane, and she deliberately hid it in the innermost part of the parachute bag. [I don¡¯t know why, but it seems familiar. Where have I seen it before?] Some viewers with good memory understood the situation. They knew it was definitely not the first time they had seen it! Angelica showed a mysterious smile while facing the viewers¡¯ questions. ¡°Hehe! I don¡¯t need to answer the questions you¡¯ve just asked. You¡¯ll find it out in a moment!¡± ¡°And you¡¯ll find out the reason I do it!¡± Many people were unhappy with Angelica because she created a riddle rather than directly revealing to the viewers what her true intentions were. However, the viewers couldn¡¯t do anything about it. Hence, they only hoped that Angelica wasn¡¯t trying to confuse them. After a while, Angelica, Chris, and the others returned to the ship¡¯s wheelhouse. Just as they were about to release everyone on the ship¡­ Suddenly, they saw a plane fly out from the cabin¡¯s exit and quickly escape. [Someone is running away!] [Could it be that the person in the plane is Wesker? Is he still alive?] [It can¡¯t be, right? How can he survive after half of his head was blown off?!] [It¡¯s not logical!] [By the way, Angelica knows Su Ping so well. She predicted that Wesker was still alive!] [Sigh, I¡¯m witnessing this couple showing their affection in public again! Why are they showing their affection in public all the time?] [Host, why don¡¯t you find a plane and chase after him? Don¡¯t let him escape!] Some viewers urged Angelica to chase after him in the comments. However, Angelica said indifferently. ¡°Do you guys remember that I secretly hid a strange device on the plane?¡± When the viewers heard it, they expressed that they still remembered but didn¡¯t know the device¡¯s purpose. Angelica explained with a smile. ¡°Haha! It means that you guys aren¡¯t as serious as I am, who is playing the game. The device appeared in the game plot at the beginning!¡± ¡°It is the self-destruct device that destroyed the entire underground laboratory of the Tokyo Umbrella Corporation! The remote control for the device is in Wesker¡¯s hands!¡± ¡°I let him go on purpose because I knew he would do the same thing again. He wanted to use the self-destruction device to blow us up!¡± ¡°However, this time, I¡¯ve already secretly hidden the self-destruct device in his plane in advance. So, let¡¯s just wait and see¡­.¡± As soon as Angelica finished speaking, her words were like a spell. The moment she finished her words¡­ The viewers saw the plane in the sky explode, and a terrifying energy wave was released. The power of the explosion was comparable to a nuclear weapon. Nobody could survive such a terrifying explosion! The spectacular scene stunned the live stream room viewers. Although there were three million concurrent viewers in the live stream room, nobody was commenting. Everyone was still immersed in the shock of the explosion. [Oh my goodness! What the host said is all true! She guessed everything right!] [Wow! Angelica knows the game so well!] [I wonder at which stage the other streamers are playing now¡­ How many of them have managed to board Arcadia?] [I¡¯ve just watched PDD¡¯s live stream. That guy is still in prison!] [Haha! Things go the same for Wesley. He¡¯s slightly better than PDD and is currently fighting with the giant zombie. Tsk-tsk, he¡¯s being beaten up badly!] [As expected, Angelica is still the strongest!] After killing Wesker, Angelica, Chris, and the others finally released all the survivors on the ship. Everyone walked on the deck, talking freely to the people around them and sharing their stories. The scene seemed peaceful. The ship, Arcadia, seemed to have rebuilt civilization on board, just as it had been announced in the broadcast at the beginning. Angelica continued to broadcast to the outside world, hoping to find more survivors. However, the peaceful scene didn¡¯t last long. The roar of an engine came from a distance. The densely packed fighter aircraft were like dark clouds that completely covered the sky as they flew toward Arcadia extremely fast! Afterward, countless soldiers jumped from the aircraft to the deck through ropes and directly fired at the survivors, who had no weapons in their hands! Before Angelica could even fight back, the game screen went black. Chapter 112 - 112 The Possibility of Zombie Apocalypse V 112 The Possibility of Zombie Apocalypse V ¡°What does it mean? Why did the screen suddenly go black? Did I disconnect from the game?¡± Angelica¡¯s vision suddenly turned black, and she looked very panicked. She was even more confused. She had already prepared herself for battle and even taken out her weapon. However, the game was over before she could fire a few shots! The live stream room viewers were also dumbfounded. They had no idea what the ending meant. [So¡­ Did the game end?] [Su Ping is up to no good again! He¡¯s torturing us on purpose!] [We really can¡¯t have any good thoughts about Su Ping. He always disgusts the players in different ways!] [By the way, where did those planes come from? Why are they attacking Arcadia?] [Do you still need to guess? Of course, they are from Umbrella Corporation! Since Angelica has taken over the ship, they should be here to kill them!] [In this apocalyptic world, I¡¯m afraid only Umbrella Corporation can mobilize such a huge army.] [Could it be that the ending scene is a scene from Zombie Apocalypse V? The scene we saw just now is just a trailer?!] Suddenly, someone commented that it was a trailer, which immediately gained most viewers¡¯ approval. After all, Angelica had already occupied the Arcadia and killed Wesker. The game would be too long if Zombie Apocalypse IV didn¡¯t end by now. Angelica had started playing the game after downloading it in the afternoon. However, It was almost 7 p.m., and it was time for dinner. At this moment, Angelica finally took off the immersive experience equipment on her body. She went to the bathroom to wash her face and sober up, then sat back at the computer desk. ¡°Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting. I saw the word ¡®game cleared¡¯ in my field of vision just now, so your guess should be correct. The game has indeed been cleared.¡± ¡°The fighter aircraft and the attackers appeared in the ending scene should be related to Zombie Apocalypse V. It seems that Su Ping has figured out how to continue the plot in Zombie Apocalypse V. We can look forward to it!¡± The viewers had been criticizing Su Ping for keeping them in suspense, but now that Angelica had explained it from her side of view, they immediately stopped scolding him. Instead, they were overjoyed. [Host, do you mean that Zombie Apocalypse V is already in production?] [Host, please help us ask Su Ping when Zombie Apocalypse V will be officially released!] [Hey! You guys haven¡¯t even finished downloading Zombie Apocalypse IV, so why are you talking about Zombie Apocalypse V? Can you guys not be so greedy?] [Go away! You don¡¯t understand. It doesn¡¯t matter whether I play these games, but I¡¯m concerned about whether the game will be released early!] [Even if I don¡¯t play the game, I¡¯ll be happy by looking at the Zombie Apocalypse series in my game list! Can¡¯t I?] Angelica couldn¡¯t help but feel helpless looking at the comments urging her. Ultimately, Angelica reluctantly agreed to the viewers¡¯ request. ¡°Alright, alright. Since everyone is in such a hurry, I¡¯ll help you ask Su Ping about the production of Zombie Apocalypse V and when will it be released, alright?¡± ¡°But I¡¯m not sure whether Su Ping will tell me! At that time, if you want to blame someone, go and blame Su Ping. Don¡¯t scold me!¡± Upon hearing it, the viewers cheered in the comments. [Hehe! I knew that Angelica was the best!] [Angelica is truly a good woman in the world! She is willing to help us!] [Don¡¯t worry, host. We won¡¯t blame you if Su Ping doesn¡¯t tell you. We¡¯ll send the blades to Su Ping¡¯s house!] Due to the viewers constantly urging Angelica in the comments, she soon sent a message to Su Ping. Since Angelica was doing a live stream and had no idea what Su Ping was doing, she chose not to call him. Meanwhile, Su Ping was having dinner, of course. Suddenly, Su Ping saw a message from Angelica on his phone and frowned in confusion. ¡°Eh? It¡¯s a message from Angelica. Shouldn¡¯t she be live streaming at this time? Why is she suddenly free to send me a message?¡± Su Ping opened the chat box with curiosity. He understood what was going on when he saw the question. Su Ping immediately replied, ¡°Did your live stream room viewers request you to come and ask me?¡± On the other side, the live stream room viewers were immediately in an uproar when they saw this reply. [Haha! Su Ping has seen through us!] [As expected of Su Ping, he not only likes to disgust others but is also quick-witted!] [I have to say that Su Ping is sharp-witted. He saw through the host¡¯s intention right away!] [Host, hurry up and reply to him! Admit it! Let¡¯s see if he¡¯ll tell us!] Soon, Su Ping received a smiling and nodding emoji. There was a line of text below. ¡°That¡¯s right! You¡¯ve arranged a plot at the end of Zombie Apocalypse IV, so everyone believed it was related to Zombie Apocalypse V.¡± ¡°Everyone speculates that Zombie Apocalypse V is already in production. Can you tell us how it is going or how long it will take to release officially?¡± ¡°Hehe! You can choose not to tell us since they won¡¯t blame me anyway!¡± When Su Ping saw the message, he could imagine Angelica¡¯s gloating expression on the live stream. Su Ping didn¡¯t prepare for the sudden question. However, Su Ping was already working on Zombie Apocalypse V. Su Ping¡¯s reputation spread across the globe as the variety of his subsequent games grew increasingly diverse. Su Ping didn¡¯t have to wait as long to release a new game as he had before to avoid arousing suspicion. Since everyone had acknowledged Su Ping¡¯s strength and no one would be that bored to suspect him, he could finally go all out. ¡°Why don¡¯t I take advantage of the popularity of Zombie Apocalypse IV to promote Zombie Apocalypse V tonight?¡± ¡°I can promote Zombie Apocalypse VI too!¡± The thought suddenly appeared in Su Ping¡¯s mind. Afterward, he couldn¡¯t stop thinking about it! Six games in the Zombie Apocalypse series correspond to the Resident Evil film series he had seen in his previous life. Additionally, the series¡¯ final game frequently set historical high records and was eagerly anticipated by fans. Therefore, Su Ping could release the news a long time in advance to warm up! This way, when the new game was officially released, its popularity would skyrocket and create another historical record! ¡°Alright, let¡¯s do it this way. If I¡¯m going to do it, I¡¯ll do it with my best!¡± Su Ping made up his mind quickly. Chapter 113 - 113 Breaking News 113 Breaking News While Angelica was waiting for Su Ping¡¯s reply, her phone rang. ¡°Why is Su Ping calling me all of a sudden? Could it be that he has something important to tell me, so he has to talk to me?¡± After Angelica finished her words, the live stream room viewers were more excited and looking forward to the information that Su Ping was going to reveal. Everyone thought, ¡°How important is the information that made Su Ping must tell Angelica by calling her?¡± Angelica pressed the answer button, and everyone immediately heard Su Ping¡¯s voice. ¡°Angelica, put your phone closer to the microphone to let everyone in the live stream room can hear me more clearly.¡± Of course, Angelica did as Su Ping said. ¡°Alright, you can answer my questions now.¡± Meanwhile, Angelica had no idea how shocking Su Ping¡¯s following words would be. Su Ping cleared his throat and said indifferently. ¡°Hello, friends and viewers in the live stream. I¡¯m Su Ping, the independent game producer of the Zombie Apocalypse series.¡± ¡°Thank you, everyone, for always loving and being passionate about my games. I also promise to create new games of the same or even higher standards in the future!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll ensure that every cent spent by everyone is worth it. I¡¯ll make sure that everyone can obtain happiness from my games!¡± Everyone in the live stream room commented when Su Ping finished his words. [Mindedness!] Although some viewers commented on something different, most praised Su Ping¡¯s attitude. [Sigh, there aren¡¯t many game producers with such a professional attitude as Su Ping!] [That¡¯s right! Once the major game development companies¡¯ game IP becomes popular, they will try different ways to plunder money! They¡¯re not like Su Ping, who never forgets his intention to make high-quality games!] [Based on what Su Ping said just now, I believe that the last two games of the Zombie Apocalypse series won¡¯t disappoint us! The Zombie Apocalypse series won¡¯t end up boring!] Su Ping continued seeing that the live stream room¡¯s atmosphere was about right. ¡°Just now, Angelica told me that everyone is looking forward to the release of Zombie Apocalypse V. Is it right? I¡¯ll answer your questions now.¡± Su Ping paused on purpose to keep the viewers in suspense. ¡°Just as everyone has guessed, I¡¯ve started producing Zombie Apocalypse V. Other than starting the production, I¡¯ve also completed making the key parts!¡± ¡°Hence, the date of the release of Zombie Apocalypse V may not be as far away as you think. You don¡¯t have to be too anxious. I will contact Steam¡¯s employees as soon as the game is completed.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll contact them and discuss the plan of releasing Zombie Apocalypse V on Steam!¡± Su Ping¡¯s words caused the live stream room viewers to an uproar. [What?! Are you telling me the key parts of the game¡¯s production have already been completed? Isn¡¯t it a little too fast?] [Did I hear that right? Did Su Ping say that Zombie Apocalypse V is almost done?] [How much longer will it take? Three months, two months, or half a month!] [Oh my goodness! I feel a sudden burst of happiness out of nowhere!] [Su Ping¡¯s production is as high as a sow¡¯s. The production of his high-quality games is terrifying! The key is that he produces high-quality games!] The live stream room viewers had no idea how to describe their feelings. In people¡¯s minds, completing a high-quality game often required many stages and a long time before it could succeed. Moreover, efficiency and speed could only be achieved with the joint efforts of an entire game development team. However, it seemed that ever since Su Ping came out of nowhere, he had achieved the speed of the game¡¯s production to a terrifying level. Many major game development companies would need several years to form a 100-person team to develop a new game. Moreover, it was only a beta test and not the final product. However, Su Ping officially released high-quality games one after another every once in a while. At first, Su Ping would release a new game every month. Afterward, he released a new game every half a month. Now, he had shortened the time to less than half a month! Could it be that this time, the time could be even shorter?! Beyond the viewers in the live stream room, even Angelica questioned whether she had understood him correctly. She couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°Su Ping, you¡¯re talking in front of millions of viewers. You have to be responsible for your words! Think carefully!¡± Angelica quickly reminded him. However, Su Ping still answered confidently. ¡°Of course, I¡¯ll be responsible for everything I¡¯ve said. I¡¯m also telling the truth!¡± ¡°Everyone, please believe me. Zombie Apocalypse is already on the way to completion! It will be released soon!¡± ¡°Moreover, since so many people are watching today¡¯s live stream, how about I give everyone another benefit?¡± There was more information. The viewers immediately commented. [Hurry up and tell us!] [Don¡¯t dawdle. If you have something to say, then say it!] [Sigh, I¡¯m so anxious now. If you continue to dawdle, I will have a heart attack!] [If you continue to keep us hanging, don¡¯t blame us for sending you the blades!] Angelica was also looking at her phone in anticipation, waiting for the mysterious benefit that Su Ping had mentioned. Since the atmosphere had been set, Su Ping smiled and said indifferently. ¡°As everyone knows, there are six games in the Zombie Apocalypse series. Four have been released, and you can download them on Steam to play.¡± ¡°Today, I¡¯m going to talk about Zombie Apocalypse V and Zombie Apocalypse VI!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already planned out the outline of the game¡¯s production. I won¡¯t name Zombie Apocalypse VI with numbers. To be precise, the game¡¯s name should be Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter!¡± ¡°It is to differentiate it from the previous five games!¡± ¡°I will immediately devote myself to the production of Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter after completing Zombie Apocalypse V. I will try to complete the game as quickly as possible with the best quality!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll try to let everyone play Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter before your passion and interest in the Zombie Apocalypse series is worn down by time to provide everyone the best gaming experience!¡± Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter! The short title made the millions of viewers in the live stream room go crazy. Chapter 114 - 114 Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter 114 Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter [Did I hear him wrong? Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter is coming out soon? What day is it today?] [Fuck! Su Ping¡¯s production is no longer comparable to a sow. He¡¯s practically crushing all the major development companies on the ground!] [I feel a sudden burst of happiness out of nowhere! Not only Zombie Apocalypse V, but even Zombie Apocalypse VI is coming soon too! Haha! Su Ping is awesome!] [I declare that I¡¯ll be Su Ping¡¯s lifelong fan. I¡¯ll teach a lesson to anyone who dares to defame Su Ping in front of me!] [Su Ping, tell us about Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter. How will you end the series of this game?] [I dare say that Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter will definitely be a blockbuster since it¡¯s the last game in the series!] Su Ping had just released some news about Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter, and the live stream room was in chaos. They didn¡¯t expect that when anticipating the news about Zombie Apocalypse V¡­ Su Ping told them about Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter. If Zombie Apocalypse V was a bombshell for the players, Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter was like a nuclear bomb! It shocked the entire world! Everyone could imagine what kind of revelry the gaming enthusiasts worldwide would be in tonight! Either Zombie Apocalypse V or Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter alone was enough to cause a sensation, not to mention the two games appearing together. Looking at the jubilant atmosphere in the live stream room, it took Angelica a while to adjust her mood and state of mind. Her voice was filled with excitement. ¡°Su Ping, is everything you just said true? You didn¡¯t start to talk nonsense after drinking some wine, right?¡± ¡°Or did you remember the wrong thing? Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter actually can¡¯t be produced so soon?¡± Angelica¡¯s words were the same question many viewers had. Although they were all happy and hoped that what Su Ping had told them was true¡­ However, since the information had been announced so suddenly and was somewhat dreamlike, people didn¡¯t dare to believe it directly because they feared it was just a dream. Everyone was afraid that everything was just a scene in their imagination. Su Ping shook his head with a smile. ¡°Haha! I didn¡¯t drink tonight. I¡¯m very sober now.¡± ¡°I promise everyone that every word I just said is true!¡± ¡°I¡¯m almost done with Zombie Apocalypse V. I¡¯ll continue with Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter and finish its production as soon as possible!¡± ¡°After completing all six games of the Zombie Apocalypse series, I¡¯ll start a new series of games, but it¡¯s still early to talk about it.¡± ¡°Hence, I¡¯ll have to share my thoughts with you later. I hope everyone can first enjoy Zombie Apocalypse V and Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter.¡± ¡°As for future new games, I guarantee everyone will still be satisfied!¡± Su Ping ended the voice call with Angelica. ¡°Angelica, I¡¯ll leave the live stream to you. I¡¯ve already said everything I needed to say.¡± Su Ping said indifferently. Angelica nodded as if she was in a dream. She still felt that everything was surreal. It wasn¡¯t until Su Ping hung up the call that Angelica returned to her senses, looking at the comments. ¡°Everyone, you can discuss Zombie Apocalypse V and Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter, but please don¡¯t urge Su Ping.¡± ¡°He¡¯s just an independent game producer. It¡¯s already rare to see someone like him be able to produce new games at his current speed, so I hope that everyone can be more tolerant and understanding of him.¡± ¡°On behalf of Su Ping, I would like to thank everyone. I would also like to thank you for your support!¡± Angelica showed a smile to the live stream room viewers and said in a serious tone. Afterward, Angelica continued her live stream. Although she had stopped playing the Zombie Apocalypse series games¡­ However, the topics discussed in the live stream room comments were all related to the Zombie Apocalypse series. The hottest topic of discussion wasn¡¯t related to Zombie Apocalypse V but to Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter. After all, not long ago, no one had ever thought about what plot would be used as the ending of such a great game series. For the first time, the world in this series of games covered the entire planet. Due to its huge scale, simple endings couldn¡¯t match the game¡¯s specifications. Whether it was the destruction of the world or the humans regaining control of the planet, the players would feel that something was missing. The players wondered what kind of powerful final boss would appear in Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter. [When do you guys think Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter will be released? I can¡¯t wait to see the ending of this game!] [Haha! Me too! I feel excited when I think that the game is about to end. Actually, I¡¯m a little reluctant to see the game end. It will be good if the game can continue to be released!] [There are a total of six games in the Zombie Apocalypse series. I think the number of games in the series is not bad. It¡¯s not too many, but it¡¯s not too few, either. I can only say that Su Ping made the plot perfectly!] [I won¡¯t sleep tonight. I¡¯m going to start with Zombie Apocalypse I and celebrate the news I got today!] [Wow! Brother, do you want to die? The total time needed to play these four games is more than ten hours!] [Sleep? What¡¯s sleep?! Everyone, get up and have fun!] Angelica chose to end her live stream when the time was close to midnight. The viewers keep discussing the future two games of the Zombie Apocalypse series in her live stream room. Even if Angelica turned off her live stream, the live stream room viewers didn¡¯t choose to rest but to move to another website to continue their discussion. People continued to discuss Zombie Apocalypse V and Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter on gaming forums, game portals, and video-sharing websites like Youtube. The Zombie Apocalypse series posts received the most discussion throughout the night, igniting a global internet frenzy. Chapter 115 - 115 The Headline of the Global Trending List 115 The Headline of the Global Trending List The next morning, when Su Ping woke up, he opened the news app on his phone and clicked on the search list. Su Ping was shocked by what he saw. Surprisingly, two familiar names appeared at the top of the search list. Zombie Apocalypse V. Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter. In addition to the top two, at least four of the top ten entries were related to Zombie Apocalypse. Almost half of the top 50 entries were related to Zombie Apocalypse. Once again, the popularity of Zombie Apocalypse had refreshed Su Ping¡¯s knowledge. ¡°What the heck? Did these guys not sleep for an entire night to help me promote my game?¡± Su Ping was completely shocked. He couldn¡¯t believe how crazy the internet had been last night. His players and fans were truly fanatical. It made Su Ping proud of his achievement. After all, people were willing to talk about his games because they were good enough. If his games weren¡¯t fun and attractive enough, people wouldn¡¯t be willing to discuss them online. Although the system automatically produced his games, Su Ping was the distributor. Hence, he no longer felt embarrassed or guilty. Su Ping thought, ¡°Since it is my system, those games are created by me!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it all my credit for bringing such excellent games to this world?¡± Therefore, Su Ping felt more at ease spending the money he had earned from the game. Su Ping¡¯s had billions of yuan in his bank account, which wasn¡¯t only one billion yuan! Moreover, the amount was still increasing! Especially after the official release of Zombie Apocalypse IV, Steam transferred the income from the day before to Su Ping¡¯s bank account. There were still more than a billion yuan left after tax! Moreover, the income Su Ping earned from Zombie Apocalypse IV was much higher than that of Zombie Apocalypse III. Such a huge income was enough to make any game development company envious. However, Su Ping didn¡¯t have much time to enjoy his life. He had promised his fans that he would release Zombie Apocalypse V as soon as possible. He even told everyone that Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter would soon be released. Hence, he decided to challenge a big task this time. ¡°Why don¡¯t I complete Zombie Apocalypse V and Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter in one go?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s try to shorten the release time of both games to a week! They would even release it in succession! What kind of scene would that be?¡± Su Ping felt that he needed more imagination when he thought about it. He believed that the scene would be unprecedentedly spectacular! Not to mention unprecedented, it should be certain that nobody could achieve it in the future! Unless Su Ping broke the record he had set before in the future, it was impossible for others to break his record! After making the decision, Su Ping took out his phone and bought a lot of food online. He was going to seclude at home! This time, Su Ping was going to work like a robot, finishing Zombie Apocalypse V and Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter in one go! While Su Ping was in seclusion and working hard, the Zombie Apocalypse series was still trending on the internet. Not only was the news of Zombie Apocalypse V and Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter just released, but Zombie Apocalypse IV, which was still on sale, was also frequently discussed among countless players. After all, players could play Zombie Apocalypse IV now, and it was a new game that had just been released. Tens of millions of players around the world downloaded the game in two days. Some started a live stream to show how they played the game, some played with friends, and some recorded how they played the game and then posted it on Youtube. Most of the videos would be liked and favored by many users, especially some technical videos, which were more likely to attract the admiration of ordinary players. After all, the Zombie Apocalypse series was still relatively difficult. Although some unskilled players downloaded the game¡­ Then, they looked at some guides, but it was still difficult for them to clear the game. Players admiring gaming experts became more common, and playing games didn¡¯t seem to be an embarrassing activity as before. Su Ping didn¡¯t expect that he would be able to bring the global gaming industry back to its prime by himself. [Sigh, the Zombie Apocalypse series seems to be getting more challenging. I hope Su Ping can lower the game¡¯s difficulty to take care of unskilled players like me!] [That¡¯s right! I¡¯ve restarted Zombie Apocalypse IV hundreds of times since I downloaded it yesterday. However, I still can¡¯t beat that giant zombie! Su Ping, please help me! I can¡¯t play anymore!] [It seems like Angelica has started her live stream. Let¡¯s talk about it in her live stream room and see if we can give Su Ping feedback on our request!] [Let¡¯s go! Even if we can¡¯t make any changes to the first four games, at least starting from Zombie Apocalypse V, Su Ping should differentiate the game¡¯s difficulty!] As more and more players began to complain about the game¡¯s difficulty online, players gave a lot of feedback in the comment section after Angelica started her live stream. Looking at the similar comments, Angelica said in surprise. ¡°Eh? You guys think Zombie Apocalypse is too difficult?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t the game quite simple? I can clear it in one go every time.¡± As soon as Angelica finished speaking, the viewers all commented with question marks in the comments. Just now, Angelica had accidentally blurted out her true thoughts. She quickly explained. ¡°Everyone, let me explain. I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I didn¡¯t intend to laugh at anyone!¡± ¡°Please don¡¯t misunderstand me. I¡¯m not that kind of person!¡± However, the live stream room viewers went furious this time, and everyone criticized Angelica. [Hmph! The evil woman is becoming more popular now. She¡¯s even mocking us, the viewers!] [I think Angelica has been led astray by Su Ping. She would never have said something like that in the past!] [Boo-hoo! I¡¯m so sad now. The host has shattered my heart, and I can¡¯t recover from it!] [Host, If you¡¯re willing to help us give feedback to Su Ping, we can let you go from what you¡¯ve just done!] Finally, a portion of the viewers revealed their true intentions. Chapter 116 - 116 Give Him a Little Punishment 116 Give Him a Little Punishment Su Ping, who was working on Zombie Apocalypse V, suddenly received a message from Angelica. ¡°Su Ping, many live stream room viewers have told me that the Zombie Apocalypse series is getting more difficult. It¡¯s getting harder for them to clear the game.¡± ¡°They hope you can lower the difficulty of Zombie Apocalypse V and the rest of the games and differentiate the difficulty levels.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just giving you feedback on the players¡¯ thoughts. It¡¯s up to you whether you want to change it or not. I believe everyone is willing to understand if you¡¯re too busy with work and don¡¯t have time to do it.¡± ¡°Anyway, you must take care of your health. Don¡¯t tire yourself out just to produce the games!¡± At the end of the message, Angelica asked about Su Ping. Since Angelica called Su Ping a few days ago, they have not contacted each other. Su Ping seemed to have disappeared from the world. However, since Angelica knew Su Ping very well, she knew he was fine. She knew he was probably cooping himself at home to make new games. Su Ping fell into deep thought after he read Angelica¡¯s message. ¡°Is the Zombie Apocalypse series that difficult?¡± However, since the players had already given feedback, Su Ping couldn¡¯t ignore the matter as an excellent game producer. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll meet your requirements and launch an easier version for unskilled players!¡± While thinking, Su Ping picked up his phone, logged into his account, and posted a new post. The main content was about different difficulty levels, such as ¡°unskilled players¡¯ mode¡± and ¡°easy mode,¡± which would be added in games starting from Zombie Apocalypse V to help everyone experience the plot and clear the game smoothly! Su Ping even put two smiley emojis at the end of the post. However, the players feel that the two smiley emojis look sarcastic. As a result, Su Ping¡¯s post didn¡¯t gain the players¡¯ approval. On the contrary, many of them were dissatisfied. [Damn Su Ping! You¡¯re mocking us in public, aren¡¯t you?] [Su Ping becomes arrogant after being rich and famous! How dare he mock us, the players who support him!] [I¡¯ve told you before that Su Ping has led Angelica astray. See, am I right?] [Wow! Come to think of it, what Angelica said a few days ago is almost the same as Su Ping¡¯s two smiley emojis!] [Su Ping is no longer worthy of our support. Sigh, it seems that people will change. Men will turn bad when they become rich!] Su Ping had been busy for the whole day. When he was ready to see how the players would praise him¡­ ¡°Now, I¡¯ve set a lower difficulty for you. You guys should thank me, right?¡± Su Ping opened a social media app with the thought in mind. When he saw the comments and the private messages, he was so angry that he felt his lungs were about to explode. ¡°Fuck! Are they ingrates? I¡¯ve already lowered the game¡¯s difficulty for them, yet they still want to scold me!¡± ¡°Shit! These people are stepping over the lines! They won¡¯t appreciate my kindness!¡± Su Ping clicked on one of the comments. It was complaining that Su Ping didn¡¯t take the players seriously. Afterward, Su Ping replied below the comment, ¡°Please tell me your Steam ID. When Zombie Apocalypse V is released, I will send you a game for free to express my apology. How about it?¡± The comment attracted countless replies and likes as soon as he posted the reply. [Are you really going to give it to him?] [Oh my goodness! Su Ping is online! Why are you so generous all of a sudden?] [Boo-hoo! I feel as if I accidentally missed out on a hundred million. I¡¯m so regretful. Why I¡¯m not the lucky one?] Seeing that Su Ping would give away a game as an apology, many players started to feel regretful. Why didn¡¯t they just curse in the comments section? If Su Ping picked them, wouldn¡¯t they be able to play a game for free? Soon, when Su Ping looked at the comments again, he saw that the person he had replied to before had sent him a message. Su Ping replied with another smiley emoji and wrote, ¡°I will send the gift to your account very soon!¡± Many people were puzzled when they saw Su Ping¡¯s reply. [Soon? What do you mean? Is Zombie Apocalypse V about to be released?] [Su Ping, are you going to send him the game installation package in advance?] [Aah! Don¡¯t do it!] Su Ping sneered while seeing the players being naive. Meanwhile, he gradually showed a sinister expression. ¡°Huh, it seems that not only have the players in this world not played any good games, but they also can¡¯t even see through such a simple scam on the internet!¡± After a while, Su Ping sent the player¡¯s Steam ID to the marketing manager who had been in contact with him. The marketing manager looked at the message on his phone and was dumbfounded. ¡°Mr. Su, may I ask why you sent me a string of numbers? It isn¡¯t your Steam ID either, though?¡± Su Ping immediately answered. ¡°Of course, it isn¡¯t my ID. It¡¯s a lucky fellow I randomly picked in the comments.¡± ¡°Anyway, just ban his account for a week. In the next month, he¡¯s not allowed to log into any of my games!¡± The marketing manager immediately understood the situation and broke out in cold sweat. Since he could become a manager, naturally, he was smart enough. Soon, he figured out how Su Ping had gotten the ID. However, he could only mourn for the unlucky player for two seconds in his heart before he did as Su Ping asked. Afterward, Su Ping went back to his work at home. He was going to finish the production of Zombie Apocalypse V. Su Ping was working on the final push. He estimated he would finish all the work for Zombie Apocalypse V within two days! After that, he could release Zombie Apocalypse V! Su Ping was busy until that night. He worked until midnight before closing the software. Before going to bed, he planned to surf the internet for a while. However, as soon as he opened Twitter, he saw a post in which a player was whining madly. ¡°Why? Why can¡¯t I log in to Zombie Apocalypse IV? I just downloaded it and haven¡¯t even played it for a second! I can¡¯t play other Zombie Apocalypse series games either, including World War Z! What the hell is going on?! Boo-hoo!¡± Chapter 117 - 117 The Saddest Unlucky Guy 117 The Saddest Unlucky Guy The person who posted the post seemed to be pitiful. The entire post revealed a feeling of despair, making people couldn¡¯t help but pity him. At first, Su Ping didn¡¯t pay much attention to it. When he was about to close the page, he caught a glimpse of the user interface screenshot that the user had posted in the post. The familiar ID caught Su Ping¡¯s attention. Su Ping immediately took out his phone and compared it to the reply he had received during the day. ¡°Damn, it¡¯s him. The naive and unlucky fellow.¡± For some reason, Su Ping wanted to laugh when he saw the guy¡¯s complaining post on the internet. Meanwhile, he also pitied him. After all, the unlucky fellow seemed to be in a miserable state, according to his post. The comment section of the post was filled with other players¡¯ consoling replies. Some insiders knew that Su Ping had replied to him during the day. [By the way, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s strange? This morning, Su Ping told this guy that he would give him a game as a gift to express his apology. However, his account was banned during the afternoon!] [That¡¯s right. It does sound strange. But it can¡¯t be that Su Ping has something to do with his account being blocked, right?] [It¡¯s hard to say. I¡¯m afraid Steam worships Su Ping as if he were their ancestor. In this case, isn¡¯t it easy for Su Ping to ban someone¡¯s account?] [Fuck! It can¡¯t be¡­ Don¡¯t tell me that Su Ping¡¯s gift was a lie from the beginning, and his purpose was to get the player¡¯s Steam ID and then have Steam ban him?!] [This ¡­ How could Su Ping do such a thing! He is hurting his supportive fans!] [Let¡¯s go and ask Su Ping what¡¯s going on!] Finally, the players realized what had happened. Su Ping didn¡¯t continue reading the comments but clicked on his profile page. Sure enough, many people were asking him about the player¡¯s account being blocked. ¡°It seems a little too much to do this¡­.¡± Meanwhile, Su Ping realized that he had gone too far. He knew that it was bad to target a player like that. However, Su Ping was furious when he thought of how these people had been scolding him during the day. ¡°I¡¯m working hard to develop a new game for you guys, and I¡¯m selling it cheaply. Now, I can¡¯t take revenge on you while you guys scold me?! What the hell is this?¡± Su Ping fell into deep thought. After a while, he finally came up with the most appropriate solution. ¡°Manager, there¡¯s no need to ban that person¡¯s account. Just make sure that he can¡¯t log into my games. Also, allow him to refund my games. He can refund as many games as he wants.¡± Soon, Su Ping received an affirmative reply. Afterward, Su Ping posted. ¡°In the future, if anyone tries to smear my reputation on the forum, I¡¯ll ban them from playing my games! These days, I¡¯ve only been sleeping four to five hours a day to develop games for you guys. However, I¡¯ve been scolded by you guys. Is it easy for me?¡± Su Ping turned off his computer and went to sleep. He believed that the unlucky fellow he had chosen could serve as a warning to others. Su Ping had never wanted to stand on the opposite side of the players and the fans. However, since he was becoming more and more popular¡­ If Su Ping failed to stop and keep such an unhealthy tendency under control in time, the problem would only become tricker to solve in the future. At that time, the situation might become people crazily take the lead and smear Su Ping on the internet when he makes a small mistake. Su Ping wanted to prevent such a terrible situation from happening. As an independent game producer making high-quality games¡­ Su Ping believed he should be the owner of the market! As Su Ping fell asleep, his new post made the forum into chaos. The players¡¯ eyes were wide open as they looked at the post¡¯s content in disbelief. They could stop guessing the situation now. Obviously, the player whose account had been banned during the day was Su Ping¡¯s doing. [Damn, Su Ping is too cruel! He lured the guy into giving him his Steam ID by giving him a gift and then banned him?! How can he do this?!] [Su Ping has indeed done something wrong this time, but that fellow was also too mean at scolding Su Ping during the day. I guess Su Ping was hurt by his words while reading the comments in the forum behind his computer screen!] [Forget it, forget it. Let¡¯s not scold each other so much in the future. It¡¯s not easy for Su Ping to make games. This brother is considered unlucky.] [Haha! Only the unlucky ones will be injured!] [I have to say that Su Ping has done something ruthless. He has fooled all of us. During the day, a bunch of people were expressing their envy!] The issue didn¡¯t last long. Although the victim was still complaining on the internet, other than the players comforting him, there seemed to be no other way to punish Su Ping. Only then did people realize how important Su Ping¡¯s identity as an independent game producer was. Since he was not under anyone¡¯s control, no one could control him. Fortunately, Su Ping produced high-quality games, which made the players more tolerant of him. Two days later, only a few people remembered the matter. The unlucky fellow who had exposed his ID and had his account banned had also disappeared from the internet. People guessed he was probably hiding in a corner to heal his wounds. Meanwhile, a bombshell dropped into the calm atmosphere, instantly exciting countless people. On the cover of Steam¡¯s home page, an advertisement that took up almost half of the page attracted all the customers¡¯ attention. Everyone could see a few words written in red in the advertisement. Zombie Apocalypse V! There was a line of small words following behind it. ¡°It will be officially released at noon tomorrow!¡± The entire internet was in chaos as soon as the news was released. Su Ping had promised that he would let everyone play Zombie Apocalypse V in about a week. However, it had only been about five days. Zombie Apocalypse V would be released two days earlier than the date Su Ping had promised. What a terrifying production capacity and speed! Meanwhile, nobody talked about Zombie Apocalypse IV or Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter anymore. Only three words were left in everyone¡¯s heart, and it was the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse V! That afternoon, just as Angelica¡¯s live stream had begun, its popularity skyrocketed to its highest point! Moreover, Angelica had almost four million concurrent viewers watching her live stream! Chapter 118 - 118 Zombie Apocalypse V Is Available Now! 118 Zombie Apocalypse V Is Available Now! [Fuck! Zombie Apocalypse V is going to be released! It¡¯s so soon!] [I thought I¡¯d have to wait a few more days before I could play it. I didn¡¯t expect it to be available tomorrow. Su Ping is awesome!] [Shit! It seems like Su Ping is stopping me from saving money! But it doesn¡¯t matter, since the price is the same as a day¡¯s salary, I¡¯ll buy it!] [Su Ping has shown us his true strength once again. Can¡¯t the major game development companies such as Storm Gaming Company and Steam reflect on themselves?] [Haha! Su Ping has made all the major game development companies embarrassed of themselves again!] [Brothers, let¡¯s gather up and download Zombie Apocalypse V tomorrow at noon!] Many of Su Ping¡¯s loyal fans had gathered in Angelica¡¯s live stream room, enthusiastically discussing the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse V. Su Ping didn¡¯t create a live stream room. Besides, Su Ping never live-streamed and rarely used social media platforms. Therefore, as Su Ping¡¯s closest friend, Angelica became Su Ping¡¯s spokesperson. Whenever there was news about Su Ping, the players would join Angelica¡¯s live stream to discuss with the others. Therefore, Angelica would always be the biggest beneficiary whenever Su Ping released a new game. ¡°Everyone, please calm down. After all, Zombie Apocalypse V is just a game. It¡¯s not worth it if you die because of laughing too much!¡± Looking at the dense comments on the screen, Angelica couldn¡¯t help but remind the viewers. Since the viewers looked too fanatical, Angelica was worried that they would suddenly faint while laughing. As the saying goes, extreme joy begets sorrow. Such a situation was very likely to happen. Following that, Angelica started her live stream, and at the same time, she announced the information related to her tomorrow¡¯s live stream. ¡°Everyone, I will start the live stream a little earlier tomorrow afternoon. After we download Zombie Apocalypse V, we will directly start to play the game on the spot!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see if I can survive Zombie Apocalypse I all the way to Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter in one goes!¡± Angelica said boldly. It would be a great feat if she could accomplish such an achievement! After all, the players recognized the difficulty of the Zombie Apocalypse series. Otherwise, the players wouldn¡¯t have insisted on Angelica giving Su Ping advice to reduce the game¡¯s difficulty. That night, although Angelica¡¯s live stream didn¡¯t achieve four million concurrent viewers¡­ However, Angelica believed she might be able to create a historical record in the live-streaming industry tomorrow! It was a sleepless night for countless people around the world. Of course, the players in the other half of the world were prepared to stay up all night. It was 12 p.m. in Su Ping and Angelica¡¯s time zone, which was midnight for the players in the other half of the world. But even so, the difference in time couldn¡¯t decline people¡¯s enthusiasm and yearning for Zombie Apocalypse V. A day passed quickly, and it was finally time for the official release of Zombie Apocalypse V. Su Ping had become numb to the statistics after the game¡¯s release after he had released so many games. Su Ping didn¡¯t care about the statistics or how fast the number of downloads was growing. To Su Ping, money was just a bunch of meaningless numbers because he could never spend it all! ¡°Mr. Su, Zombie Apocalypse V will be officially released in a few minutes. Congratulations, you¡¯ll have made another masterpiece.¡± Before the game was released, the marketing manager called Su Ping to congratulate him. Su Ping smiled and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think it can be considered a masterpiece. Otherwise, I would have too many masterpieces.¡± ¡°To me, it is just an ordinary piece of work.¡± The marketing manager on the other side of the phone was rendered speechless. He had no idea how to reply to Su Ping. Su Ping¡¯s words were simply too contrary, but nobody could refute them. To Su Ping, it was the truth. Each of Su Ping¡¯s games had high quality. If any other game development companies could make any of Su Ping¡¯s games, it would be enough to make them famous worldwide. Not to mention Su Ping¡¯s high productivity. Nearly no game developer or producer dared to compete with Su Ping. They were no longer on the same level. Hence, they were incomparable to Su Ping. It was noon. Countless players waiting in front of their computers in advance logged into Steam. When they saw the game purchase icon, countless people couldn¡¯t help but cheer. [Oh! Zombie Apocalypse V is finally available!] [Haha, as expected of Su Ping! He never goes back on his word!] [Su Ping is a real man!] [I can finally play Zombie Apocalypse V. I hope Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter can be released as soon as possible!] [Boo-hoo! Su Ping must have lost a lot of hair to let us play the game as soon as possible!] Meanwhile, there was a player who stood out from the rest. He couldn¡¯t help but feel excited when the clock struck noon. However, when he thought his account couldn¡¯t play Su Ping¡¯s game for a month¡­ He immediately felt sad. Since he couldn¡¯t even play, the revelry naturally had nothing to do with him. He regretted telling Su Ping his ID that day! The player clenched his fist and moved the mouse to click the download button for Zombie Apocalypse V as if he was possessed. However, he believed that the download button wouldn¡¯t respond, so he would just take it as a way to vent the grievances in his heart. However, after he pressed the left mouse button, he realized that the game had started to download, and the icon that appeared in his game library was in the purchased state! ¡°Fuck, what¡¯s going on? Why can I download it? Why has the game been purchased?¡± While the player was shocked, he quickly opened his email and found an email about giving him a free game. Surprisingly, the sender was Steam! ¡°Dear user, this is a new game given to you by the game developer, Su Ping. At the same time, the restriction on your account has been lifted. Hence, it is compensation for you. We hope you can express your opinions rationally on the internet in the future. If there are more offensive remarks about Su Ping, your account might be banned forever!¡± After reading the email, the player¡¯s face was covered in tears. Chapter 119 - 119 Carlos Has Come Back to Life 119 Carlos Has Come Back to Life As Zombie Apocalypse V was finally released, in addition to the countless players squatting in front of their screens to be ready to play the game as soon as possible, gaming streamers of different platforms also chose to start their live streams during that afternoon. Nowadays, when Su Ping releases a new game, it becomes a trend on the internet. Regardless of whether they were full-time game streamers, they would all join the ranks of live-streaming games now. The live-streaming platform was filled with topics and titles related to Zombie Apocalypse V. At 4 p.m., Angelica finally opened her stream and started streaming. Meanwhile, Angelica¡¯s live stream room had exceeded three million concurrent viewers! A few million people among the viewers had been waiting in her live stream room since noon, urging Angelica to start her live stream as soon as possible. ¡°Hello. Good afternoon, everyone. I¡¯m here to start the live stream now. Thank you for waiting all this time.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t start the live stream at noon because I wanted to download the game before starting my live stream. That way, I can immediately play the game after starting the live stream. I hope everyone can understand.¡± Angelica was naturally happy when she saw the huge number of concurrent viewers. Hence, she immediately explained to the viewers why she started her live stream late as soon as she came online. Of course, the viewers were willing to express their understanding. Most of the people who could wait in the live stream room for Angelica to start the live stream were usually Angelica¡¯s loyal fans and viewers. They would feel delighted and happy if Angelica could stream today. [Haha! Host, you don¡¯t have to explain to us. We¡¯re all happy to be able to watch your live stream.] [That¡¯s right! It¡¯s not easy for you to live stream playing every newly released game. We will understand you.] [What¡¯s the relationship between us? You don¡¯t have to be so polite to us, alright? Anyway, hurry up and start playing Zombie Apocalypse V!] [Angelica, all you need to do is hurry up and start playing Zombie Apocalypse V! It¡¯s useless to talk about other things! We just want to see whether you can clear the game in on go today!] [By the way, Angelica, are you still doing the live stream alone today? Didn¡¯t you invite Su Ping to join you?] Angelica enthusiastically answered all the questions in the comment section. Since it was the warm-up segment before officially starting the main content of the live stream, she had to interact with the viewers. Angelica wanted to wait for concurrent viewers to increase before playing the game in her live stream. ¡°I¡¯ll be doing the live stream alone today. Su Ping still has other work to do, so he won¡¯t be able to do live streams with me for a while.¡± ¡°As for whether I can clear Zombie Apocalypse V in one go today, I don¡¯t think any regular viewers would ask such a question. Haha! I definitely can do it!¡± As soon as Angelica finished speaking, her first sentence immediately attracted the live stream room viewers. [Su Ping has other work to do? Could it be that Su Ping has already started making Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter?] [Oh my goodness! I¡¯m sure Su Ping is working on Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter! Otherwise, he will appear in Angelica¡¯s live stream room today!] [That¡¯s great! Maybe a new game will be released after I clear Zombie Apocalypse V! Hooray! Su Ping is the best!] Looking at the viewers who expressed their imagination in the comment section, Angelica had no idea why everyone could think so much. However, no matter how Angelica explained, no one cared about what she said. Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter completely captured the viewers¡¯ hearts. Hence, Angelica quickly opened Zombie Apocalypse V to change the topic of the viewers¡¯ discussion and stop the viewers from guessing as soon as possible. ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯m going to start playing Zombie Apocalypse V. Everyone, please calm down. The show is going to start!¡± As soon as Angelica said it, the viewers stopped commenting in the live stream room. The viewers were quietly waiting for Angelica¡¯s game to finish loading. Soon, Angelica put on her equipment and officially started Zombie Apocalypse V. This time, Angelica slowly opened her eyes and was surprised to find herself in a warm bedroom. Moreover, the bright sunlight from outside the window shone in, making people feel warm. Angelica was surprised at her current environment and had no idea where she was. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Isn¡¯t it already the end of the world? Why is there such a warm and cozy room?¡± ¡°And why am I wearing such casual clothes? Where the heck am I?¡± Angelica was perplexed by her current circumstance, and the viewers in the live stream room were perplexed by the Zombie Apocalypse V opening scene as well. At this moment, something happened. Angelica suddenly heard a man¡¯s voice coming beside her, which shocked her and the viewers. The man seemed to be telling Angelica to get up, and only then did Angelica realize that she was lying in bed. She was stunned when she saw the appearance of the man who had woken her up. ¡°Car¨CCarlos! How could it be him?!¡± Angelica was extremely shocked. She would never have thought that the man in front of her was Carlos, who had died in Zombie Apocalypse III! Back then, Carlos had already been bitten by zombies. At the last moment of his life, he was willing to open a path to the laboratory for Angelica and the others. In the end, Carlos drove a truck into a zombie crowd, lit the bomb in the truck, and died with countless zombies. He had also blown a path out for Angelica and the others. But now, Carlos had come back to life! The live stream room viewers were also shocked. [Fuck! What¡¯s going on with Zombie Apocalypse V?! How can a dead person be resurrected? How did they do it?] [Could it be that Carlos didn¡¯t die back then? It¡¯s because we thought he was dead, so we didn¡¯t check the wreckage of the car.] [How is that possible? Carlos must be dead since nobody could have survived such a huge explosion. The man might just look like him!] The game had just started, but the viewers and Angelica were all confused with the situation. Chapter 120 - 120 The Chaotic Plot 120 The Chaotic Plot Angelica got out of bed, washed up, and went to the living room on the first floor to eat while being puzzled. She didn¡¯t expect that in Zombie Apocalypse V, she and Carlos were husband and wife, and they even had a child. It was a girl named Becky. After breakfast, Carlos was ready to go to work. Everything seemed warm and peaceful. It was as if it wasn¡¯t the Zombie Apocalypse series game but a life simulation game. Even so, Angelica didn¡¯t let her guard down. She knew that Su Ping would never make such a rookie mistake. Therefore, there must be some kind of great danger hidden behind the peaceful scene. Once Angelica relaxed, it was likely to give her a fatal blow. Just as Carlos was about to leave, a zombie suddenly ran in from the living room hallway and bit Carlos. As expected, the zombie crisis had started! ¡°I think it¡¯s something similar to the game¡¯s prologue. It can let the players recall the previous scene when the zombie crisis first broke out in Zombie Apocalypse V.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t talk to everyone for now. I have to escape with my daughter as soon as possible!¡± Angelica calmly analyzed the situation, then left the bitten Carlos and ran upstairs with her daughter. Meanwhile, many zombies rushed in from the outside. Fortunately, Angelica and her daughter hid in a room in time. Afterward, she found a broom to break the ceiling and entered the attic at the top of the house with her daughter. The two of them left the house through the attic window. Meanwhile, the outside world had also become chaotic since the zombie crisis had officially broken out. People were constantly running for their lives, and ferocious zombies chased them. Angelica had already played many Zombie Apocalypse series games and could consider an experienced veteran warrior. However, even now, Angelica felt as if she had returned to the time when the zombie crisis had just broken out in Zombie Apocalypse I, and she still felt a strong sense of oppression and fear. After all, the zombie crisis meant the collapse of the entire society, and the world would no longer be safe. It would bring people strong mental shock. Just as Angelica and her daughter were running for their lives on the streets, a car suddenly stopped in front of them. The driver of the car was the female warrior who had died in Zombie Apocalypse I, Rain! The scene once again shocked the live stream room viewers. [What the heck? Even Rain has been resurrected. What the heck is happening? Could it be that the plot we¡¯re watching now is the scene when the zombie crisis broke out in Zombie Apocalypse I?] [This is absurd. Even if it¡¯s the situation at that time, Rain is one of the Special Forces. How could she be wearing such casual clothes and driving a car outside? Shouldn¡¯t she be in Umbrella Corporation¡¯s underground laboratory right now?] [Wait, I¡¯m a little dizzy. The plot of this game is too chaotic. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on anymore.] [Let¡¯s see what will happen to Angelica next. Anyway, it seems that there are many questionable points.] The viewers were confused by the situation as well. They had no idea what was going on and could only take it one step at a time. Angelica decisively got into Rain¡¯s car. Then Rain stepped on the accelerator, and the car quickly fled into the distance. However, they didn¡¯t expect that when they passed a crossroad, a driver would drive his truck in a panic and hit the side of their car, which caused their sedan to somersault. Fortunately, Angelica had a good physical condition and didn¡¯t pass out in the accident. She quickly rescued her daughter from the car and took her to hide in a nearby house. Afterward, Angelica brought her daughter into a room and entered the closet before the zombies arrived. Angelica could clearly see a zombie walking around the house while looking through the wooden board. Angelica covered her daughter¡¯s mouth desperately to prevent her daughter from screaming in fear. But unfortunately, living humans would emit a smell that would attract zombies¡¯ attention. Therefore, the zombie was slowly approaching where Angelica and her daughter hid. Under such circumstances, as a veteran, Angelica couldn¡¯t just sit back and wait for death. Therefore, Angelica chose to take the initiative. She suddenly rushed out of the closet and caught the zombie off guard. In the end, she successfully pushed the zombie down from upstairs. The zombie¡¯s body smashed into the stairs below. The spikes pierced through its body, and it died. However, just as Angelica heaved a sigh of relief and was about to return and escape with her daughter¡­ Carlos, whom the zombies had bitten at the beginning, appeared beside Angelica and launched a sneak attack on her. Then, Angelica¡¯s vision turned black, and she knew Carlos had bitten her to death. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Am I going to die just like this?¡± Angelica was also at a loss. She couldn¡¯t accept that she would die so soon. Angelica wanted to clear the game in one go. How could she die at the beginning of the game?! Angelica couldn¡¯t accept such an outcome. Moreover, she didn¡¯t believe she was dead. It was because she had the chance to react when Carlos appeared, but the screen suddenly went black. Meanwhile, although the live stream room viewers didn¡¯t see how Angelica died, they believed that she had broken her records and died in the game. [Haha! The host had finally drawn her first blood! It¡¯s time to celebrate!] [Finally, the host has finally ended her sinful life!] [I didn¡¯t expect that the person who ended Angelica¡¯s life was Carlos! Sigh, I can only say that what goes around comes around! Haha!] [It¡¯s so funny! I feel like the plot kills Angelica. Carlos was infected in the first house, but why would he suddenly come here?] [No matter what, Angelica has lost the game. But it¡¯s good. Later on, she can let herself go and not be in a hurry to clear the game!] [I didn¡¯t expect that even the invincible Angelica would lose. I¡¯m starting to worry that Zombie Apocalypse V is too difficult for us normal players to play!] Meanwhile, the viewers had already started to ridicule Angelica¡¯s failure in the comment section, and it was in full swing. Chapter 121 - 121 Confused 121 Confused ¡°I¡¯m not dead! I had the chance to react just now!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve seen me play so many Zombie Apocalypse series games. Can¡¯t you trust me?¡± Looking at the viewers ridiculing and mocking her in the comment section, Angelica couldn¡¯t take it lying down and began to try her best to defend herself. However, Angelica¡¯s actions were no different from being stubborn in the eyes of the viewers. [Host, don¡¯t be so stubborn. It¡¯s alright to lose the game, and everyone is just taking it as a joke. But if you¡¯re stubborn, everyone will start mocking you!] [That¡¯s right. Don¡¯t be a sore loser. You can just restart the game, right? The other hosts have died countless times, and I¡¯ve never seen anyone as stubborn as you!] [Alright, alright, let¡¯s end this topic here. There¡¯s no need to continue talking about it!] Angelica felt quite aggrieved when she saw most viewers were unwilling to believe her. Angelica thought, ¡°I clearly have the chance and ability to react and dodge Carlos¡¯ attack just now. Why did the screen suddenly go black?¡± At that moment, Angelica opened her eyes again. ¡°Eh? Have I not just passed away? Why there isn¡¯t a pop-up window for me to restart the game? Why am I suddenly back to the game?¡± The sudden change shocked Angelica, and then she realized something. Angelica immediately felt excited after she opened her eyes and looked at her surroundings. She immediately paused the game. ¡°Haha, what did I just say? I knew I wasn¡¯t dead! The game isn¡¯t over yet!¡± ¡°The screen blackout isn¡¯t because I died. It is because I encountered something similar to a murder mystery!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see who was mocking me just now. I¡¯ll find a few unlucky bastards and send them a 365-day forbidden commenting package!¡± ¡°Hmph! Let¡¯s see who dares to question my strength in the future!¡± Angelica immediately turned the tables and began to expose and criticize the players and viewers who had ridiculed her. Since the game was still going on, the players were dumbfounded and couldn¡¯t find a reason to help the banned players. [Haha! Luckily, I didn¡¯t join you all in scolding the host. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be doomed!] [Sigh, brothers, I¡¯m Angelica¡¯s loyal viewer. Angelica will never die so easily!] [Those who thought the host was dead are definitely not regular viewers. Hence, just let them be banned! It¡¯s alright!] [Aren¡¯t the bottom lines of you guys too flexible? You just ridiculed Angelica a few seconds ago, and now you¡¯re acting as if nothing happened?] The live stream room was soon filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Everyone acted as if nothing had happened and continued to chat. Angelica quickly banned all the IDs that she had an impression of, then returned to the game in a good mood and continued playing. This time, Angelica found herself in a laboratory after she woke up. ¡°It seemed to be one of the Umbrella Corporation¡¯s laboratories. Look at this logo. It¡¯s the Umbrella Corporation¡¯s logo.¡± ¡°It seems like after Alice was attacked on Arcadia, Umbrella Corporation still captured her.¡± Angelica quickly analyzed some of the things that had happened in the past based on her current environment. Her analysis also received the unanimous approval of the viewers. After all, Zombie Apocalypse IV ended with the scene of Umbrella Corporation sending many armies to attack Arcadia. Although many survivors were on board Arcadia, they had no weapons. Naturally, they were no match for the Umbrella Corporation¡¯s army. In this way, it was reasonable for Alice to be captured again. Meanwhile, a window above suddenly lit up, and a woman¡¯s figure appeared inside. ¡°Jill?¡± Angelica immediately recognized the woman. She was once one of her companions. However, there was a big electronic spider on Jill¡¯s chest now. It was obvious that her mind was under Umbrella Corporation¡¯s control. Jill asked Angelica who Angelica was working for, but Angelica had no idea about it, so she naturally couldn¡¯t give any answers. As a result, Angelica suddenly felt her head start to hurt, and she curled up on the ground, holding her head. It happened a few times, and Angelica was tormented. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the equipment would weaken the pain in the game, Angelica might have stopped playing long ago. However, just as Angelica had given up on resisting and was about to see how the game would torture the players, the light in the laboratory suddenly went out. Angelica instantly sobered up. She knew very well what the scene meant. As expected, Angelica soon heard an electronic voice in her ear. ¡°The security system of the underground laboratory has suddenly gone offline. Now is my best chance to escape!¡± Meanwhile, Angelica also found two shelves sticking out from the wall on the side, with a set of dark combat uniforms on them. Angelica immediately put on her clothes and walked out through the open door. [To be honest, the scene at the beginning of the game looks a little fake. Why did the security system suddenly go offline? Who did it?] [Let¡¯s not get too hung up on it. It¡¯s just a game plot, anyway. Let¡¯s just continue watching.] [I don¡¯t know why, but I feel Zombie Apocalypse V is weird.] [Same here. I wonder where is this underground laboratory located.] When the viewers saw that Angelica had escaped from the room so easily, they couldn¡¯t accept it, so they began to discuss the game plot. The viewers wanted to know where Angelica was and why the security system had gone wrong. After escaping from the room, Angelica found herself in a long and narrow hallway. The hallway gave Angelica a strong sense of deja vu, and many viewers immediately realized something. [This hallway¡­ Why does it look like the Laser Hallway?!] [But this one seems to be much longer. I think it has nothing to do with lasers.] [Haha! People who had played Zombie Apocalypse I and Zombie Apocalypse III are traumatized by this hallway!] [I believe Angelica should leave this place as soon as possible. This hallway looks too strange!] Chapter 122 - 122 The Streets of Tokyo 122 The Streets of Tokyo Everything seemed to be happening in the worst direction. Just as the viewers ridiculed that the hallway looked like the Laser Hallway¡­ Behind Angelica, a red laser net was secretly formed at the end of the hallway. Luckily, Angelica discovered it in time. Angelica was shocked. ¡°Fuck! What the heck is going on? Why is there such a thing in Zombie Apocalypse V?¡± Angelica wanted to curse out loud, but for the sake of her image, she swallowed the vulgarities on the tip of her tongue. The viewers were also dumbfounded, looking at the scene in front of Angelica in disbelief. [Pfft! Haha! So this hallway really has lasers. Su Ping must have done it on purpose!] [It¡¯s ridiculous. There are five games in total, and three have the Laser Hallway. Speaking of which, what kind of obsession does Su Ping have with lasers?] [Who knows? Will there be a similar segment in Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter?] [It¡¯s very likely to happen. Su Ping might be watching the live stream right now, and he has memorized the contents of our comments!] [Angelica, hurry up and run! This hallway obviously doesn¡¯t have any ventilation pipes for you to run through. You should leave this place as soon as possible!] There was no need for the viewers to remind her. Angelica had already run in the opposite direction when the laser beams began to form. It was because Angelica could feel that there seemed to be a door that she could open at the end of the hallway. As expected, as Angelica ran forward, the door in front suddenly opened, revealing the scene behind. Angelica didn¡¯t even have time to look and ran out of the door, avoiding the deadly laser behind her. However, Angelica was shocked by the scenery around her before she could even catch her breath after she escaped. ¡°Wha¡­What is going on? Why am I sudd¡­Suddenly on the streets of Tokyo!¡± Angelica¡¯s current location wasn¡¯t any of the underground laboratories she had been to, and everything around indicated that the zombie crisis hadn¡¯t occurred. According to the words on the billboard and the architectural style around, Angelica recognized the place. It was the capital of Japan, the streets of Tokyo! She seemed to be at a crossroads! The live stream room viewers were also stunned. Nobody knew how to express their shock. It was because everything happening in front of their eyes was simply outrageous. Just now, Angelica was still inside Umbrella Corporation¡¯s underground laboratory, but after running out of a hallway, she directly came to the intersection of the streets of Tokyo! [It¡¯s ridiculous! Does Umbrella Corporation can build a laboratory on the streets of Tokyo?] [I¡¯m more and more confused. What¡¯s the story of Zombie Apocalypse V? Why do I still not know where Angelica is now?] [Su Ping, are you watching the live stream? If you are, then come out and explain. I¡¯m going to get dizzy!] [Host, hurry up and walk around. You might find some clues!] Angelica paused the game for a moment but realized that the comments didn¡¯t seem to have any good ideas either, so she could only start searching for clues. In short, Angelica couldn¡¯t just sit and wait for death. With the experience Angelica had accumulated in similar games in the past, Angelica¡¯s keen sense of smell helped her to find some weapons in a police car. Angelica felt much more at ease with having a weapon in hand. At this moment, it started to drizzle. ¡°It¡¯s raining.¡± Angelica looked up at the sky and muttered to herself. She didn¡¯t know why, but she suddenly had a bad premonition, as if something terrible was about to happen. As the rain fell, many people suddenly appeared on the originally empty streets. These people were walking on the street with umbrellas. Although they did look like living humans, the scene made Angelica feel a little flustered. Especially just now, these people suddenly appeared on the street without any warning! Moreover, she was playing Zombie Apocalypse V! It had been several years since the apocalypse. How could the streets of Tokyo still be in such good condition? Moreover, how could so many people walk freely on the streets? Why do they look like they were living in a peaceful era? [Everything seems so strange here. Where did these people come from? I didn¡¯t even get to see where they came from!] [Could it be that all of these people are ghosts? They are all dead, but Su Ping allowed the players to see their spirits since it¡¯s a game!] [I don¡¯t think so¡­ If it¡¯s like that, this isn¡¯t a Zombie Apocalypse series game, but a ghost-killing game!] [Sigh, Zombie Apocalypse V is giving me a headache. I hope the plot can tell me what¡¯s going on later.] Most viewers were still confused. Only a few players who were quick-witted or had played similar games more often could vaguely guess some clues. At this moment, an accident suddenly occurred. A woman walking wobbly on the street without an umbrella suddenly pounced on a man in front of her. Afterward, she bit the man¡¯s neck. Fresh blood instantly spurted out in all directions, and the sudden outbreak of terror made the crowd scream in horror. As the zombie virus spread, the orderly intersection quickly became chaotic. Soon, the streets were filled with infected zombies. Fortunately, Angelica had already gotten some weapons in advance for self-defense. Hence, she could fight and retreat at the same time. In the end, she was forced into a wide passage by a group of zombies. Angelica continued to fight with the weapons in her hands. At that moment, Angelica only had a pistol, and a chain left. Although there were many zombies, it was only a matter of time before she got rid of them with the weapons in her hands. Angelica was no longer the newbie she was when she first played Zombie Apocalypse I. Dealing with a few zombies was a piece of cake for her. Finally, after some effort, Angelica successfully killed the few zombies chasing her into the tunnel and entered another room. It seemed to be the command center of Umbrella Corporation¡¯s underground laboratory. Chapter 123 - 123 Wesker Has Become a Good Person 123 Wesker Has Become a Good Person As the lights in the command room lit up, many control panels covered in blood appeared in Angelica¡¯s field of vision. It was obvious that something terrible had happened here. It was likely that all the people who had worked here had been killed. As Angelica was about to investigate further, someone suddenly pointed a gun at her waist. Ada Wong appeared. [Damn, Ada Wong!] [Goddess!] [Ada Wong is really cool. I wonder who¡¯s stronger, Angelica or her!] [Host, don¡¯t stay still. Hurry up and fight!] It could be that she had seen the urging comments or that Angelica had already been prepared to fight. Soon, Angelica and Ada Wong were entangled in a fight. The two kept using all kinds of moves, and no one knew how many rounds they had fought. The live stream room viewers were satisfied to watch the fight. After a long time, the battle finally ended with Angelica¡¯s victory. Of course, there was no way that Angelica could have killed Ada Wong because the two of them had always been colleagues working together in Umbrella Corporation. Meanwhile, Wesker¡¯s figure suddenly appeared on a display screen. Seeing that Wesker appeared again, Angelica was very surprised. The millions of live stream viewers were shocked too. Nobody had expected that Wesker, who Angelica had killed in the previous game, was still alive. [What¡¯s going on? Why isn¡¯t this guy dead yet? Didn¡¯t his head already get blown up by Angelica? Why is he still alive?] [Moreover, didn¡¯t this guy die from a bomb in the sky while escaping on a plane? How can he still be alive?] [Why would Wesker be here? Shouldn¡¯t Su Ping explain? Isn¡¯t it wrong to forcefully resurrect the final boss like this?] [Maybe Wesker was saved by a superpower in the end, even though this superpower seems a little ridiculous now.] Although the live stream room viewers were shocked and confused, it wasn¡¯t impossible to accept that Wesker was still alive. After all, in Zombie Apocalypse IV, Wesker had superpowers, so it shouldn¡¯t be difficult for him to keep his life. However, Angelica seemed to want to avoid listening to Wesker. She threw out a dagger and broke the display screen that Wesker was on. However, Wesker had control over the laboratory. Soon, his figure appeared on another big screen. When Angelica saw that she couldn¡¯t block his appearance, she finally chose to give up. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s hear what this guy has to say!¡± Angelica put her hands on her hips and decided not to care. Finally, Wesker introduced some basic information about Zombie Apocalypse V to Angelica. Meanwhile, the viewers only knew what Zombie Apocalypse V was about now. Everyone knew why Angelica suddenly appeared on the streets of Tokyo after she left. Also, why did she see the zombie crisis scene seem to have broken out at the beginning of the game? After Wesker¡¯s introduction, the basic settings of Zombie Apocalypse V were finally revealed to Angelica and the viewers. Moreover, the setting could be said to be quite imaginative, which shocked countless viewers after listening to it. It turned out that Angelica wasn¡¯t in Tokyo at all, nor was she in any city in this world. Instead, Angelica was located in the Umbrella Corporation¡¯s underground laboratory in the Kamchatka Peninsula. The Tokyo she had just seen was a street scene, just one of Umbrella Corporation¡¯s laboratories. In this underground laboratory, in addition to the Tokyo testing site, there was also the Moscow testing site, the Berlin testing site, the New York testing site, and so on. It could be said that it covered all the major cities in the world. As for why the Umbrella Corporation wanted to build so many testing sites, Wesker also explained. The testing sites could simulate the weather and all other factors in reality. Afterward, they could simulate the zombie crisis in reality by releasing the zombie virus in the testing sites. After all, it was impossible to release the virus in reality. Hence, Umbrella Corporation built these testing sites. The Umbrella Corporation would gather the experimental data following the experiment and sell it to the adversarial nations of the test site, making enormous profits in the process. After explaining the basic settings, Wesker said he had sent a five-person rescue team from the surface into the underground laboratory to rescue Angelica. The five-man rescue team would install time bombs on the periphery of the laboratory and then enter the laboratory through the vertical elevator. In other words, regardless of the success or failure of the rescue operation, it would definitely blow the laboratory up. However, it wasn¡¯t just Wesker who was on the move. Jill, who the Red Queen controlled, was also leading the Umbrella Corporation¡¯s soldiers to capture Angelica and the others. After that, Wesker arranged an escape route for Angelica. It could be said that in Zombie Apocalypse V, Wesker was completely different from his usual self. His character had changed from the final boss in the previous game to a companion who helped Angelica clear the game. Such a change made Angelica feel very uncomfortable. The live stream room viewers also suspected that Wesker was deliberately lying. [Will Wesker be so kind? Why will he be willing to help Angelica escape?] [That¡¯s right! I feel that Wesker is pretending to be nice. He just wants to make Angelica believe him, and then suddenly appears and eats Angelica up!] [But now that Angelica is in the Umbrella Corporation¡¯s underground laboratory, Wesker doesn¡¯t have to go through so much trouble to kill Angelica, right?] [Where¡¯s Ada Wong? Why hasn¡¯t she said a word? Is Wesker a good character in Zombie Apocalypse V?] [I think my brain is completely messed up. Wesker is a good person for a moment and a bad person the next. I¡¯m so confused!] [Who cares? Anyway, Angelica¡¯s goal in Zombie Apocalypse V is obviously to leave the underground laboratory. Who cares who he is? He¡¯s a good person if he can help Angelica to get out of here!] [That makes sense. If Wesker can help Angelica get out of here this time, it¡¯s fine to trust him one more time!] Meanwhile, Angelica was also thinking about whether she should believe in Wesker. Chapter 124 - 124 The Two Giant Zombies 124 The Two Giant Zombies ¡°Forget it. I can¡¯t care so much now. Jill is bringing people from Umbrella Corporation to capture me. If I continue wasting time, I¡¯ll be caught in the end!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll believe in Wesker this time!¡± Soon, Angelica decided to trust Wesker in Zombie Apocalypse V! Naturally, Wesker was pleased with Angelica¡¯s decision. He quickly gave her a planned escape route that could help her leave the underground laboratory more smoothly. According to Wesker, Angelica needed to pass through the New York testing site first, then meet up with the rescue team in the suburbs. After that, the assault team would pass through the Moscow testing site with Angelica. Ultimately, they would arrive at the submarine station and return to the ground with the lift! It was the entire plan that Wesker had proposed. However, as Wesker finished speaking, the figure on the display screen changed, and the Red Queen¡¯s figure appeared on it. Moreover, the Red Queen in Zombie Apocalypse V seemed to be a little different from the Red Queen in the previous two Zombie Apocalypse games. She looked more frightening. ¡°You can¡¯t listen to Wesker. You have to stay here and wait for Jill!¡± The Red Queen wanted to stop Angelica and Ada Wong from leaving the underground laboratory. However, now that Angelica had chosen to believe Wesker¡¯s words, she wouldn¡¯t believe the advice given by artificial intelligence. Hence, Angelica didn¡¯t care what the Red Queen said. She turned around and entered the New York testing site with Ada Wong. After entering the New York testing site, the environment immediately changed dramatically. It was as if they had arrived in New York City in reality. The streets were filled with cars and taxis, and the surrounding environment was no different from reality. If it wasn¡¯t for Wesker¡¯s explanation, Angelica believed it would be difficult for her to tell if it was Umbrella Corporation¡¯s underground laboratory or the real New York City. ¡°Unbelievable! Surprisingly, Umbrella Corporation can build such a huge research laboratory in the ocean¡¯s depths. Is it possible in reality?¡± Angelica and Ada Wong walked through the New York testing site, looking at the scenery in shock. Angelica had never thought that modern technology could be such advanced. She never thought that a research laboratory could be built in a place of ice and snow and even in the ocean¡¯s depths. The more shocking thing was that everything here was as realistic as in New York City. It wasn¡¯t just Angelica. The viewers were also expressing their shock in the comments. [It¡¯s too scary¡­ Not only does Umbrella Corporation is rich, but the technology alone should be more advanced than most countries in reality, right?] [That¡¯s for sure. I¡¯ve never heard of any country being able to build such a laboratory in the ocean¡¯s depths. Plus, Umbrella Corporation is simulating an entire city!] [That¡¯s right! The information and material required are extensive. It¡¯s a huge project just transporting the materials here!] [I have to say that the testing site is really realistic. I live in New York City in real life. My evaluation is that there is no difference between this place and reality!] The live stream room viewers were expressing their amazement in the comments. In the game, Angelica walks carefully in the city with Ada Wong. Suddenly, the two zombie executioners in Zombie Apocalypse IV, the giant zombies, appeared in front of them! It was obvious that the two zombies were the bosses of the New York testing site! They would clear the stage only after killing the two zombies or escaping from them. [Oh my goodness, the Red Queen sent two giant zombies this time! Can Angelica defeat them?] [Don¡¯t forget that Angelica has companions this time. Ada Wong¡¯s combat power is also very strong. If they take on one each, there¡¯s a good chance that they can win!] [I don¡¯t think so. The two giant zombies are too strong. Hence, I don¡¯t think humans can fight against them alone!] [I don¡¯t care. Anyway, Angelica will be able to clear the stage. If she can¡¯t even clear the current stage, her previous efforts in playing the Zombie Apocalypse series would have been in vain!] Even though Angelica faced a huge challenge, the viewers were still very optimistic about her current situation due to her previous achievements and fame. After all, Angelica had gone through many challenges in the past, and everyone was willing to believe that she could still turn danger into safety. Meanwhile, the two giant zombies had already begun to attack Angelica and Ada Wong with their axes. The giant zombies surrounded Angelica and Ada Wong from two different directions, then charged at them. Angelica and Ada Wong were sticking their backs to each other. They took out their weapons, pulled the trigger, and aimed at the giant zombies¡¯ heads. Afterward, they shot the zombies non-stop. Unfortunately, the giant zombies¡¯ heads wouldn¡¯t be heavily injured by bullets. The giant zombies wouldn¡¯t die unless their heads were completely blown off. The two of them couldn¡¯t stop the giant zombies¡¯ attack. The two of them took a step to the side simultaneously while the giant zombies¡¯ hammer smashed into the ground! The two of them then fell into a bitter battle. The giant zombie¡¯s physique, strength, and attack power were far beyond what a human could withstand, so Angelica had no way to fight it head-on and could only keep pulling. While escaping, Angelica would attack whenever she could exhaust the giant zombie¡¯s strength. A giant zombie waved the giant hammer in its hand, and it spun in the air as it flew toward Angelica¡¯s body. Angelica dodged in the nick of time, and the hammer smashed into a tank truck not far away. Gasoline began to pour out wildly. On the other side, Ada Wong was also being chased by another giant zombie and was in a dangerous situation. Meanwhile, Angelica noticed that the fuel in the tank truck was leaking. She suddenly had an idea and immediately called Ada Wong to come beside her. Chapter 125 - 125 The Familiar Scene 125 The Familiar Scene Seeing that Angelica and Ada Wong had joined each other, many live stream viewers had already realized what Angelica was up to. [Host, are you planning to use the tank truck to kill the two giant zombies?] [Look! The two giant zombies are standing next to the tank truck. Haha! Zombies are just zombies. They don¡¯t know how dangerous their situation is!] [Although the host¡¯s plan seems perfect, I feel that even if the tank truck explodes, the two giant zombies might not die!] [How could it be? How can it still be alive? Even giant zombies can¡¯t withstand such a huge explosion!] The viewers were guessing whether Angelica¡¯s plan would work. However, she had no other choice. Angelica and Ada Wong exchanged looks and nodded at the same time. Afterward, they picked up the weapons in their hands, pulled the trigger at the tank truck behind the two giant zombies, and shot it non-stop. A bullet hit the metal surface of the tank truck and created a spark. The tank truck finally exploded with a boom, and the terrifying explosion instantly devoured the two giant zombies. During the explosion, two other cars were on top of the giant zombies, pressing them down. It seemed like Angelica¡¯s plan worked pretty well. Her plan had stopped the two giant zombies from moving! Angelica wiped the sweat off her forehead. She had already expected such an outcome. ¡°It seems like we¡¯ve already killed the two giant zombies. We must hurry to the suburbs and meet with the rescue team!¡± Angelica looked at the raging fire. Without further ado, she immediately ran towards the suburbs with Ada Wong. Soon, Angelica and Ada Wong crossed over the border of New York City and reached the suburbs. After the two of them passed through an invisible wall, the scenery in front of them instantly changed. When Angelica saw the scene in front of her, she was shocked, the same as most live stream viewers. It was because everyone had already recognized where they were. [Fuck! Isn¡¯t it the town where Angelica was at the beginning of the game?] [It turns out that the town where the zombie crisis broke out at the beginning of the game was one of the testing sites. No wonder the zombie crisis suddenly broke out here back then. It is because the testing site had started the experiment back then!] [I remember Angelica hiding a little girl at the beginning of the game, right? Nobody knows whether the little girl is still alive!] [That¡¯s right! She¡¯s a little girl named Becky. She seems to be deaf. Host, go and look for her. Maybe she¡¯s still alive!] [Umbrella Corporation is indeed sinful and cruel! How could they do such a thing?] [What a pitiful clone! They don¡¯t have to exist in this world at all. But they have to suffer such misfortune in the end!] [If there¡¯s a company like Umbrella Corporation in reality, I¡¯ll kill the company¡¯s president with my own hands!] [Angelica, do you still remember where you hid the little girl? Hurry up! Go and find her!] When looking at the urging comments, Angelica certainly wouldn¡¯t refuse the request to search for the little girl. In fact, even if the comments didn¡¯t mention it, Angelica would find a way to find the little girl. Although everything that happened was just the game¡¯s plot, due to the virtual reality equipment making the scene too realistic, most players in this era were immersed in the game. Everyone was willing to be immersed in the game as much as possible to save the game characters, even if they were just data and NPCs. However, to the players who were playing the game, the game characters were living people. They were alive! Furthermore, Angelica was the little girl¡¯s mother when she saved the girl at the beginning of the game. Meanwhile, Angelica¡¯s maternal love was sparked by the situation. She believed that the little girl must still be hiding somewhere, waiting for her to save her. Angelica and Ada Wong were walking on the street. Since the zombie crisis had already ended, and the system might have already cleared the zombies here, it was quiet and safe. Soon, Angelica found the house where she had hidden the little girl, based on her memory. Sure enough, as soon as Angelica entered the lobby on the first floor, she saw Alice¡¯s corpse at the corner of the stairs on the first floor. It looked like Alice died after falling from the stairs. ¡°Now I know how Alice died. Carlos must have pushed me down the stairs after he turned into a zombie. I fell here and died!¡± Angelica couldn¡¯t bear to look at Alice, who was lying on the ground with her eyes wide open. After all, the body Angelica controlled in the game was also Alice¡¯s. Ada Wong didn¡¯t say a word and just followed Angelica upstairs. Searching through her memories, Angelica opened the door and the closet. As expected, she found the little girl, Becky. The little girl pounced on Angelica as soon as she saw her and hugged her tightly, unwilling to let go. To the little girl, Angelica was her mother! Angelica also held the little girl¡¯s body in her arms, hugging her tightly. Finally, Ada Wong couldn¡¯t help but speak up after seeing the scene. ¡°There¡¯s no point in you doing this.¡± ¡°You should know that everything here is just a simulation by Umbrella Corporation. Everyone that seems to be alive is just a clone!¡± ¡°Even the memories these clones think they have are information that Umbrella Corporation deliberately implanted into them. They are not humans at all!¡± ¡°Their feelings for you are fake, so stop caring about them. The most important thing is to leave this place as soon as possible!¡± Ada Wong¡¯s words were reasonable, and Angelica knew she was right. However, Becky looked attached to Angelica and only trusted her. When Angelica saw Becky in her arms, she couldn¡¯t let go of her at all while looking at her expression. Angelica couldn¡¯t give up on such a cute little girl like Becky. Chapter 126 - 126 Rescue Becky 126 Rescue Becky ¡°No, I can¡¯t just leave Becky alone! She¡¯s my daughter!¡± Angelica was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke to Ada Wong in a beyond-doubt way! Angelica¡¯s choice was also unanimously approved by the live-stream room viewers. [Bravo! Becky is so cute. In her heart, you are her mother. How can a mother abandon her child?] [That¡¯s right. Even if you¡¯re not blood-related, you¡¯re the whole world to Becky. This time, I¡¯ll support the host with all my might!] [I have to say that Angelica is a good person with upright values. She is indeed my favorite streamer!] [Host, you did a good job! If you really gave up on Becky just now, I would¡¯ve to unsubscribe you!] [Me too! Thank you, host, for being willing to save a cute little girl!] From the live stream viewers¡¯ perspective, it wasn¡¯t just a game but a large-scale human nature testing system. The reason why everyone liked to watch Angelica¡¯s live stream was definitely not just because of her looks or her outer beauty. It was because they liked Angelica¡¯s inner beauty! A person with a bad character and no bottom line in doing things wouldn¡¯t be able to gain recognition from many people in the world. Angelica¡¯s integrity played a huge role in her current achievement. Just as Angelica decided to take Becky and escape the underground laboratory with Ada Wong, they suddenly heard the sound of a car coming from downstairs. The three came down from upstairs and found that a group of fully armed Special Forces had surrounded the house. The Red Queen sent them to capture Angelica! What made Angelica feel suffocated the most was that she saw many familiar faces among them. They were Carlos, Rain, and the Special Forces Captain in Zombie Apocalypse I. The Special Forces Captain was the unlucky guy who was cut into pieces in the Laser Hallway. Obviously, they had been resurrected through cloning technology, and they didn¡¯t have the memories of the previous games. The contrast between former comrades who had fought their enemies together suddenly became each other¡¯s enemies was hard for Angelica to accept. The live stream room viewers also began to curse at Umbrella Corporation. [Fuck! Damn Umbrella Corporation! How dare they turn our old friend into a clone! Now, they¡¯re even instructing them to attack Angelica! What a shameless company!] [Initially, I thought I would have a certain understanding of Umbrella Corporation¡¯s bottom line after watching the series Zombie Apocalypse. Now, I finally know that this damn company doesn¡¯t have a bottom line!] [Although it¡¯s a game made by Su Ping, and I know that everything I¡¯m watching is fake, I still have to say, ¡°Fuck you! Umbrella Corporation!¡±] [Darn it! Why is the game letting Angelica fight with her old friends who have died?! It¡¯s too cruel!] [Angelica, don¡¯t lose your will to fight. They are all clones! It¡¯s a trap set by Umbrella Corporation!] The viewers constantly reminded Angelica not to treat the people in front of her as people who were willing to sacrifice themselves for their friends in the comments. Of course, Angelica knew it very well. Even without the viewers¡¯ warning, she wouldn¡¯t make such a rookie mistake. After all, she was a veteran player in the Zombie Apocalypse series. At the moment, Angelica was facing a sheer weight of numbers, and she clearly knew she had to take the initiative to fight to gain the upper hand. Once Angelica was controlled by her enemies, she would have to restart the game. Therefore, Angelica and Ada Wong pretended to negotiate and compromise to let their enemies let their guard down. Then, just as Angelica was about to put down her weapon, her enemies had lowered their vigilance to the minimum¡­ Angelica abruptly raised her gun and savagely opened fire on the people standing on the lawn in front of her. Angelica didn¡¯t hesitate at all, even if she was facing the familiar faces of her former companions and comrades! ¡°Go to hell! Umbrella Corporation! I¡¯ll destroy you one day!¡± Angelica roared while she shot the enemy in front of her. Ada Wong reacted the same way. The two of them retreated as they fought. After killing a few enemies, they successfully retreated to the house. However, Jill had too many people with her. Angelica and Ada Wong alone weren¡¯t enough to fight so many enemies at once. The two gradually had the lower hand, and Jill and the others also suppressed their firepower. ¡°Alice, you leave with Becky first. I¡¯ll cover you!¡± ¡°You must meet the rescue team as soon as possible after leaving this place. I¡¯ll be fine. As long as you¡¯re safe, we¡¯ll meet again!¡± Ada Wong once again played the role of an excellent partner. She was willing to sacrifice herself to let Angelica leave safely. While facing Ada Wong¡¯s dedication, Angelica didn¡¯t waste time being coy. Angelica was clear that Umbrella Corporation would catch both of them if they continued the stalemate. Hence, it was better to ensure that two of them could survive first! Furthermore, Angelica knew very well that Umbrella Corporation¡¯s ultimate goal was to capture her alive. Hence, they wouldn¡¯t harm Ada Wong. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s meet at the submarine!¡± Angelica nodded slightly. She took a carcano from Ada Wong and left the place with Becky while the battlefield was in chaos. Meanwhile, the viewers were all praising Ada Wong in the comments. [Ada Wong is such a good teammate. Angelica is so lucky to have such a comrade to fight alongside her!] [I have to say that kindness is everywhere. Even in such a dangerous situation, Ada Wong is still willing to sacrifice herself for Angelica.] [Boo-hoo! It¡¯s touching! It¡¯s worth meeting a teammate like Ada Wong in my life!] [Every NPC that Su Ping created is so touching. They¡¯re all lively characters. Angelica, you must come back to save Ada Wong!] Even if the viewers didn¡¯t remind Angelica in the comments, she would still return to save Ada Wong. Angelica wouldn¡¯t allow herself to abandon her companions and live a sordid life. Soon, Angelica brought Becky to another place¡ªa subway station. However, Angelica met an unexpected person here. It was Rain¡¯s clone! Chapter 127 - 127 The Zombies Know How to Use Weapons 127 The Zombies Know How to Use Weapons The Rain in front of Angelica was also a clone. She was the woman who asked Angelica and Becky to get into the car at the beginning of the game. Angelica also didn¡¯t expect the clone Rain to be alive after such a tragic car accident on the street. Not only did she survive, but she had also been hiding in the subway station until now! It could be considered a miracle. At the moment, Angelica still had to save Ada Wong, so she naturally didn¡¯t have the extra energy to take care of Becky. Now that Angelica had met the clone Rain, she decided to let Rain help her take care of Becky. She also asked the two to hide in the subway station and not expose themselves! Rain also realized that the current Alice seemed a little unfamiliar, but she immediately agreed out of trust for her friend. Without Becky as her burden for the time being, Angelica found a car and was ready to find the rescue team who came to rescue her. As soon as Angelica drove to a square, she heard intense gunshots in the distance. ¡°It seems that the Red Queen has also activated the zombie crisis program here. I wonder how many of the rescue team members will survive!¡± Angelica calmly analyzed the situation. Afterward, she stepped on the gas pedal fearlessly and rushed over. It was the Moscow testing site, and the scenery was exactly the same as the real Moscow. Even the clothes that the zombies were wearing were very distinctive. They were wearing olive green military jackets and holding mini submachine guns. [What?! Why are the zombies holding guns?!] [Fuck! What the heck is going on? Why are the zombies at the Moscow testing site using weapons?!] [It¡¯s ridiculous! How come all the zombies know how to use weapons in Zombie Apocalypse V?] [It¡¯s too scary. If all the zombies knew how to use weapons, how would Angelica be able to fight them?!] [Could it be that the rescue team members have all become zombies? After all, once zombies can use weapons, they don¡¯t need to bite people to kill them!] [Unbelievable! I can¡¯t understand Su Ping¡¯s mind!] [Haha! I was right! I knew that Zombie Apocalypse V would be even scarier!] As many players discovered that the zombies in the Moscow testing site knew how to use weapons, everyone was shocked. After all, people believed that zombies were creatures without any intelligence, according to their stereotypes. They believed that zombies would only use their teeth to bite or their hands and feet to catch their prey. However, the zombies in the Moscow testing site were wearing military coats and holding submachine guns or rocket launchers. It was the first time everyone had seen such zombies. Even Angelica was extremely shocked by the scene, but fortunately, she was experienced and remained calm. Soon, Angelica saw the few soldiers who had come to rescue her outside a shop. Just as Angelica had expected, the intense battle had reduced the number of soldiers, and they had lost two comrades. Now, there were only three people left on the five-person team! Initially, the three of them were already desperate when they were forced into a dead end by the armed zombies at the Moscow testing site. Fortunately, Angelica appeared in time and picked them up by car to escape. However, the situation didn¡¯t turn better because the zombies here had a certain level of intelligence. Not only did the zombies know how to use weapons, but they also knew how to drive a motorcycle to chase Angelica and kill her! They could also attack Angelica¡¯s car while riding. Although it was the Zombie Apocalypse series game, as they played, it somehow turned into the Fast and Furious game. The scene also dumbfounded the live-stream viewers. [It¡¯s too scary. If such a zombie really appeared in reality, I don¡¯t even dare to think about how humans can win!] [Stop thinking about it since it¡¯s impossible for such a zombie to appear! Otherwise, these zombies would be considered a whole new species!] [Haha! I have to say that although the intelligent zombies look ridiculous, it makes Zombie Apocalypse V to be even more exciting!] [That¡¯s right! These zombies are too scary. It¡¯s not something those slow-motioned stupid zombies can compare to!] [Angelica, run for your lives!] In addition to going all out, Angelica started her car racing show while being pursued by zombies. Fortunately, although the zombies had a certain level of intelligence and could drive motorcycles, their riding skills were terrible. Soon, Angelica managed to shake off many of the motorcycles. However, at this moment, a Licker joined the battle! Since Zombie Apocalypse II, it had been Angelica¡¯s first encounter with the Licker. Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers were quite surprised. They didn¡¯t even have time to remind Angelica to run while they started to reminisce. [Wow! It¡¯s the Licker! I didn¡¯t expect it to appear in Zombie Apocalypse V!] [I have to say that the Lickers are definitely the player¡¯s nightmare while playing Zombie Apocalypse I and Zombie Apocalypse II. However, after meeting so many zombies, I¡¯m no longer afraid of that Lickers!] [Haha! We¡¯re already playing Zombie Apocalypse V now. The giant zombies that Angelica killed are much more powerful than the Lickers!] [Why do I feel although the Licker is chasing after Angelica, I feel that the Licker will be doomed at any moment!] [Haha! You¡¯re not alone! I think so too!] Initially, everyone thought that the Lickers were powerful. However, it couldn¡¯t make the battle-hardened viewers and Angelica fear it. Nobody would think that the Licker could hurt Angelica. It turned out that it was the truth. Angelica accelerated the car to its maximum speed to rush quickly to the subway station. Furthermore, Angelica kept up when she was about to enter the subway station and drove straight in! As the structure of the subway station didn¡¯t seem particularly good, after the Licker rushed in with Angelica, it was directly buried by the bricks and tiles that fell from above. The Licker, the final boss of Zombie Apocalypse I, had been killed by Angelica in such a dramatic way. Afterward, Angelica met up with Rain and Becky. They then began to plan a new route to the submarine station. Chapter 128 - 128 Either You Succeed or You Die 128 Either You Succeed or You Die [This Licker is definitely the one who died in the most aggrieved way! There are no other zombies that can compare to it!] [Haha! Indeed, this Licker passed away feeling resentful. It¡¯s all because the subway station¡¯s structure is as fragile as a piece of tofu!] [The entire Moscow testing site is filled with zombies that know how to use weapons. How is Angelica going to leave with her companions?] [That¡¯s right! I can¡¯t imagine how Angelica and the others would escape the underground laboratory!] At this moment, when the viewers saw Angelica was safe again, they began to discuss her escape route. However, many viewers weren¡¯t optimistic about Angelica¡¯s current situation since the zombies at the Moscow testing site were too powerful. The zombies didn¡¯t fear death at all and had an absolute advantage in firepower and numbers. No one could defeat these zombies in such a situation! However, Angelica suddenly took a pair of glasses from her pocket! Some sharp-eyed viewers immediately recognized the glasses. [Eh? It looks like the thing that Ada Wong gave Angelica!] [Wow! It¡¯s high-tech!] [No wonder Angelica isn¡¯t worried at all. It turns out that she has a special weapon!] [Since they are in an underground laboratory, there should be other ways to leave. I believe Angelica can find another path to leave!] After a while, as Angelica put on her glasses, she quickly found a route that could leave the Moscow testing site and reach the submarine station. It turned out that Angelica could directly reach the submarine station through the subway line next to them. Then, Angelica led the group into the tunnel. Soon, they arrived at the submarine station. Meanwhile, Angelica had successfully passed through several checkpoints. As long as she activated the elevator, she could bring everyone out of the underground laboratory! [Is Zombie Apocalypse V going to end now? Why do I feel like the game is going by so quickly? Is it just my imagination?] [I also feel the game is too easy for Angelica to clear. Are there any more dangers later on?] [Don¡¯t you guys think Su Ping lowered the difficulty on purpose? Didn¡¯t we ask Angelica to help us give him feedback about the game¡¯s difficulty? It seems that Su Ping did accept everyone¡¯s advice.] [But we just asked him to lower the minimum, not the maximum difficulty. Now, the game is easy for Angelica to clear. What¡¯s the point of this?] [Haha! If Su Ping is watching the live stream, he will be pissed off by everyone¡¯s comments. Everyone will be dissatisfied whether the game is easier or harder. What do you guys want Su Ping to do?] As Angelica arrived at the submarine station, the live-stream viewers became more relaxed. The viewers seemed to think that Angelica definitely would clear the game in one go. Hence, they began to discuss the game¡¯s difficulty. Angelica opened and started playing Zombie Apocalypse V at around 4 p.m. However, it wasn¡¯t even 6 p.m. yet! In other words, Angelica was almost going to clear the game by only using less than two hours. In the previous Zombie Apocalypse games, it was a simply impossible situation. However, Angelica, who was in the game, was not in the mood to think about it. Finally, Angelica and her teammates arrived at the elevator. Everyone got on the elevator and prepared to operate it to return to the surface. However, after Angelica pressed the button, the elevator didn¡¯t move according to the instructions! [Pfft! An accident has happened. The classic scene of the elevator is stuck!] [Haha! I knew Su Ping wouldn¡¯t let the players clear the game so easily. He must have created more challenges at the end of the game!] [It¡¯s dangerous!] Angelica and her teammates immediately became alert. Meanwhile, a Licker climbed out of the pipe above and attacked one of her teammates, seriously injuring him. However, it wasn¡¯t the most important thing. Angelica felt desperate because the Licker didn¡¯t continue to attack her other teammates. Instead, it stuck out its long tongue and grabbed Becky! Becky screamed in fear as the Licker grabbed her. Angelica¡¯s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Angelica had watched Becky being taken away with her eyes, but she was helpless. The situation made her furious. The live stream room viewers also became righteously indignant. They couldn¡¯t accept that the Licker simply killed Becky in such a way. [Host, we can¡¯t let this Licker go! Even if you can¡¯t clear the game in one go, you must save Becky!] [This Licker is too evil! How can it target children?! Host, hurry up and kill this Licker. We¡¯ll send you gifts together!] [You can¡¯t let it go. You must save Becky!] Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers expressed their requests by asking Angelica to save Becky. In fact, even if the viewers didn¡¯t request it, Angelica would also do so. Angelica had liked the cute Becky all along, even though she was only a clone. However, Becky believed all the memories in her mind were real and all her feelings were sincere! Angelica couldn¡¯t let things get to the point of seeing Becky die in front of her! ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go and rescue Becky now. I must kill that damn Licker with my own hands and save Becky!¡± Angelica¡¯s fighting spirit was strong. She had already decided in her heart that she would either succeed or die. If Angelica couldn¡¯t save Becky, she would die at the Licker¡¯s hands with Becky! Afterward, Angelica began to instruct her other members to check the lift while she went to rescue Becky. However, just as Angelica was about to leave, Jill led the soldiers of Umbrella Corporation to launch a fierce attack on Luther and the others. As an ordinary person, Rain died as she stepped onto the battlefield, but Angelica couldn¡¯t care about her anymore. There was only one thought left in Angelica¡¯s mind, and that was to save Becky. Afterward, Angelica had her teammates stay at the elevator door to fight Jill and the others while she climbed up the pipe above her. Angelica followed the path the Licker had used to escape and search for Becky! It was an operation with a narrow escape, and everything that would happen was unknown. Angelica didn¡¯t know if she could succeed, but she had no other choice! Chapter 129 - 129 The Big Submarine! 129 The Big Submarine! Angelica entered the pipe above where Becky had been grabbed and taken by the Licker. The pipe was dark inside, but fortunately, Angelica¡¯s vision was still clear with the help of the light from the outside. Soon, Angelica found Becky. Over the pipe, a huge egg from the Licker had Becky imprisoned inside. Becky was trapped inside and couldn¡¯t break out. When Angelica wanted to save Becky, the Licker stopped her. Angelica began to fight with the Licker. As she had been through hundreds of battles, her combat power was much stronger than when she played the previous two games, so it didn¡¯t take long for her to defeat the Licker successfully. Angelica used the gun in her hand to knock out the Licker. Afterward, Angelica approached Becky, rescued her from the giant egg, and escaped with Becky. Then, the two came to a giant clone-planting factory, and they were all Alice¡¯s clones! The spectacular scene was like the scene in Zombie Apocalypse III, which stunned Angelica and Becky. However, the Licker that Angelica had earlier knocked out had awoken and crawled out of the pipe. At crunch time, Angelica recalled the grenades she had picked up earlier. When the Licker attacked her, she threw the grenades into its mouth and detonated them. The explosion¡¯s terrifying power completely blew up the Licker, and even the clone-planting factory where Angelica was located was completely destroyed. [Oh my goodness! Angelica can even take on a Licker now?! She¡¯s indeed a battle-hardened veteran!] [That¡¯s right! I remember that the Licker was the final boss of Zombie Apocalypse I. At that time, almost everyone on the train died from killing a Licker!] [She¡¯s too strong. If the current Angelica plays Zombie Apocalypse I again, she will definitely be the God of War!] [I can only say Angelica¡¯s strength has improved as she played the game. She¡¯s no longer the same as before!] [That¡¯s great! Angelica has successfully saved Becky. As long as she gets back to the ground, she can clear the game!] Seeing Angelica kill the Licker, the live stream room viewers began to cheer. The live stream room viewers were all sending gifts to Angelica. Obviously, the viewers were delighted to see her be able to save Becky. However, just as Angelica was about to find a way back to meet her teammates, an explosion suddenly happened above her head. Angelica immediately had a bad feeling in her heart. ¡°Could it be that the bomb the rescue team planted outside the laboratory has finished its countdown and finally exploded?¡± Angelica looked up. She still remembered Wesker saying that the rescue team would install time bombs when he introduced them to her. After estimating the time, it seemed that it was indeed time for the bomb to go off. Since the underground base was located in the ocean, the laboratory¡¯s surface was greatly damaged by the explosion. Moreover, the seawater from the outside began to pour into the laboratory. Meanwhile, Angelica brought Becky back to the top of the elevator well and was surprised to find that the seawater pouring into the laboratory supported the elevator¡¯s upward acceleration. Following that, Angelica and Becky leaped and successfully met up with Luther and the others! ¡°Our time bomb has exploded. We can now use the power of the water flow to take the elevator back inside!¡± Luther and Angelica briefly explained the current situation. Angelica also looked around and realized that after the recent battle, the rescue team had suffered heavy losses again. Soon, they took the elevator back to the ground and boarded the snowmobile parked there. They even changed into down jackets to keep warm. The snowmobile traveled on the ice field. Meanwhile, the underground laboratory was still in the process of destruction. Anyone who couldn¡¯t escape from it would have to die. Meanwhile, the viewers were discussing whether the game was over. After all, the game should have ended now that Angelica had returned to the ground. [There shouldn¡¯t be any following plots, right? Angelica has already returned to the ground. Jill, who was chasing her, might have already died in the underground laboratory.] [I don¡¯t think it¡¯s that simple. If Jill died so easily, then the villain of Zombie Apocalypse V died too rashly!] [If the game ended, Angelica should be on the countdown segment now, but the game is still going on. According to my experience, the game is not over yet!] [But how are Jill and the others going to chase them out of the laboratory? They are at the Arctic Circle!] The live stream room viewers had no idea how Jill could escape from the laboratory. Since the laboratory had been blown up, everyone assumed it should be filled with ice water. However, the ground suddenly shook violently, and the snowmobile somersaulted. When Angelica and the others came out of the snowmobile, they realized a submarine had broken through the ice layer and appeared in front of them. The live stream room viewers were stunned and shocked by the scene. No one expected that Jill would appear in front of them again in such a way. Jill didn¡¯t die in the laboratory. She must have found a submarine at the last minute and returned to the ground through the submarine! [Fuck! How can it be?! Jill is indeed the villain of Zombie Apocalypse V! She can even return to the surface in such a way!] [Haha! I suddenly felt that the way Angelica took the elevator back to the surface was so trashy. Look at Jill! She directly returns to the surface by a big submarine!] [Wow! The submarine looks so cool! I¡¯m seriously suspecting Su Ping¡¯s former job. There seems to be a corresponding model of the submarine in reality!] [It should be the final plot of the game. As long as Angelica defeats Jill and her soldiers, the game will end!] [All the best, Angelica. As long as you win the battle, you¡¯re only one step away from the final victory of Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter!] In the live stream room comments, viewers were encouraging Angelica. Everyone hoped that she could persist and succeed in the final battle. Chapter 130 - 130 The Parasite 130 The Parasite Jill came out of the submarine with her men and confronted Angelica and the others. At this moment, they hadn¡¯t started fighting yet, but the clone Rain suddenly took out a syringe, and there seemed to be a parasite-like creature inside. After that, the shocked viewers in the live stream room witnessed the clone Rain inject the parasite from the syringe into her body! Since the parasite looked too disgusting, many viewers in front of the screen couldn¡¯t bear to continue watching. After all, the thought of putting such an unsightly bug into one¡¯s body would make them queasy. [What the heck?! Isn¡¯t the clone Rain going too hard? She even shot such a disgusting bug into her body?] [I can only say that a clone is just a clone. Umbrella Corporation has completely brainwashed her. I¡¯m afraid that even if she dies, she must complete the mission Umbrella Corporation gave her!] [Sigh, I don¡¯t know why, but the scene makes me feel terrible. Rain was clearly a good teammate of Angelica¡¯s, but she has become her opponent in Zombie Apocalypse V!] [What¡¯s the insect¡¯s effect when injected into a human body?] When many viewers were puzzled about the situation, Leon suddenly spoke. He explained the use of the parasite to the players. It turned out that the parasite was called the Plaga, which could greatly increase its host¡¯s strength and speed. Therefore, Rain¡¯s combat effectiveness improved after injecting the parasite. Facing Rain, who the parasite had strengthened, everyone naturally wouldn¡¯t sit still and wait for death. So, everyone picked up the weapons in their hands and pulled the trigger to attack Rain. Bullets kept raining down on Rain¡¯s body, but the attacks of the bullets were no different than tickles to her. The bullets couldn¡¯t kill Rain at all, and the bullets that went into her body were expelled from her fingers. Rain¡¯s body recovered to its original state with the help of the parasite in just a short time! At this moment, no matter if it was Angelica or live stream room viewers, everyone already knew that firearms could no longer kill Rain. Or rather, the current Rain was like Wesker in Zombie Apocalypse IV, who was almost entirely immune to firearms! The only way to kill her was to destroy her body with a cold weapon. The battle between the two parties officially began. Angelica¡¯s opponent was Jill, who had an electronic spider with her. As for Rain, she was fighting a few simultaneously and wasn¡¯t at a disadvantage. The chaotic battle on the ice field was very intense. Soon, Angelica and Jill fought dozens of rounds, and both parties¡¯ weapons were knocked to the ground during the battle, turning it into an even more intense and cruel hand-to-hand battle. However, the people of Umbrella Corporation were either carrying high-tech weapons or, like Rain, had been strengthened by biological weapons. It made it so that Angelica and the others were no match for them at all. Suddenly, Angelica was careless and was directly hit by Jill¡¯s heavy elbow. Afterward, she was knocked to the ground. ¡°Could it be that Zombie Apocalypse V will be the first time Angelica loses a game in the Zombie Apocalypse series?¡± Meanwhile, the thought appeared in the minds of all the live-stream room viewers. It was the situation on the battlefield that had put Angelica at a disadvantage, and it seemed like she could lose the battle at any time. [All the best, Angelica! As long as you can beat the two people in front of you, you can clear Zombie Apocalypse V in one go!] [Don¡¯t give up, Angelica. Although it¡¯s only a game, it¡¯s a real battle for you!] [Angelica, you can¡¯t lose the game in such a way!] Jill lifted Angelica¡¯s body with one hand, and Angelica seemed to have lost all ability to resist under Jill¡¯s control. The live stream room viewers started to get anxious and kept typing encouraging comments, hoping to cheer Angelica up. Of course, Angelica wasn¡¯t willing to simply give up. She was still struggling, trying to find a way to turn the tables. However, Angelica was now under Jill¡¯s control, getting closer and closer to the snowmobile tracks behind her. The tracks were spinning fast, as if they were ready to swallow her at any moment. Angelica suddenly stared at the mechanical spider on Jill¡¯s chest at crunch time. When her body was about to be thrown into the track and was about to be strangled to death¡­ Angelica¡¯s body suddenly burst with massive power, and she precisely grabbed the mechanical spider on Jill¡¯s chest. Afterward, Angelica threw the mechanical spider into the tracks behind her with all of her might. After being strangled by the tracks, the mechanical spider was destroyed. Without the spider¡¯s control, Jill temporarily fell into a coma. Finally, Angelica defeated Jill and temporarily defeated a strong opponent. However, Angelica had no time to rest because the current battlefield was still pessimistic. There was still Rain, who had the help of the parasite, left to deal with! On the other side, Rain was going all out, knocking down Leon and Luther by herself. Moreover, Rain¡¯s strength and speed were too powerful after being strengthened by the parasite. She could break a person¡¯s ribs and affect one¡¯s heart by punching the person once to cripple the person¡¯s combat effectiveness. Of course, Angelica wouldn¡¯t cringe because of it. She immediately rushed forward to assist her teammates in fighting Rain. However, Rain was too strong now. Even when three people surrounded her, she still had the upper hand. Angelica failed to defend herself, and her chest suffered a heavy blow! Angelica¡¯s body flew backward and slammed hard into the ground. Her chest was in extreme pain, and she felt that her bones had probably been broken. [Angelica is doomed! Rain is like a bug. I didn¡¯t expect the final boss not to be Jill or Wesker, but Rain, who is injected with the parasite!] [It seems like Angelica isn¡¯t Rain¡¯s match. Could it be that she has to find another way to clear Zombie Apocalypse V? Brute force attack won¡¯t work?] [What do we do now? Angelica is no match for Rain!] [Sigh, it seems like Angelica¡¯s invincible record is about to be destroyed! Rain is too powerful!] At this point, even the viewers started to look down on Angelica. Chapter 131 - 131 Teleportation 131 Teleportation Meanwhile, Angelica was lying on the ground, and Rain was standing in the distance like a god of war. ¡°Am I going to lose just like this?!¡± Angelica kept asking herself that in her heart. She was unwilling to give up. She had maintained her records of clearing Zombie Apocalypse to Zombie Apocalypse V in one go. Would she fail to maintain her achievements today? No matter what, Angelica didn¡¯t want her legend to end here. She had to win today¡¯s battle! However, her body was severely injured, and she couldn¡¯t continue to fight with Rain! ¡°What should I do? What should I do to defeat Rain?¡± Angelica¡¯s heart was burning with anxiety, but she hadn¡¯t found any way to escape the situation. At that moment, it may have been because her body temperature had melted the snow on the ground. When Angelica used her hands to wipe the ground beneath her¡­ Suddenly, she found the zombies¡¯ faces under the transparent ice! Angelica was stunned for a moment, unable to react to what was happening. Suddenly, Angelica understood the situation! ¡°I got it! The explosion destroyed the underwater laboratory, but the zombies didn¡¯t drown in the sea. Instead, they followed Jill¡¯s submarine up!¡± ¡°I know how to deal with Rain!¡± After Angelica found out that the zombies were under the ice, she had a plan! Since Angelica couldn¡¯t fight Rain with brute force, she would win the battle with wisdom! Angelica endured the intense pain in her chest and got up from the ground again. Meanwhile, Jill, who Angelica had removed the mechanical spider from her, woke up. Jill immediately understood what Angelica was trying to do, so she picked up the gun from the ground and threw it at Angelica. After getting the gun, Angelica didn¡¯t shoot at Rain. Instead, she aimed at the ice layer where Rain was standing and pulled the trigger madly. After a hail of bullets, Rain realized that her body wasn¡¯t under attack and thought Angelica had missed. However, Rain suddenly felt that she couldn¡¯t stand still. The ice under her feet had been riddled with holes by Angelica¡¯s previous shoots. At this moment, the fragile ice layer could no longer support Rain¡¯s weight and shattered. Rain immediately fell into the cold seawater. However, Rain quickly climbed out of the ice hole since she had a strong physique. A few zombies suddenly appeared from the water behind Rain as she was preparing to jump out of the ice. The rotten zombies immediately grabbed Rain and frantically pulled her into the water! Even if Rain had a strong physique, it was impossible for her to use her full strength in the sea. Not to mention that there were too many zombies in the sea! Soon, Rain could no longer fight against many zombies and was finally dragged into the freezing sea! Looking at the ice hole in front of her and seeing that Rain was no longer there, Angelica finally heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that she had finally cleared Zombie Apocalypse V in one go! As expected, Rain couldn¡¯t be dealt with by brute force but by taking advantage of the favorable conditions and the zombies in the sea! The live stream room viewers were shocked by the scene. Nobody had expected Angelica to defeat Rain in such a dramatic way! The situation could be said to be subversive. Angelica didn¡¯t eliminate Rain with her strength, but she got others to do her dirty work. She used the zombies to destroy her enemies! The zombies were the biggest catastrophe that could destroy the world in the game, but at the end of Zombie Apocalypse V, they became Angelica¡¯s most powerful weapon! [It turns out that this is the way to solve it!] [Haha! It¡¯s amazing! I didn¡¯t expect Angelica to use zombies to drag Rain into the sea and drown her!] [Unbelievable! No wonder Angelica can clear the Zombie Apocalypse series on her first try every time. Her understanding of the game is not something an ordinary player like me can compare to!] [That¡¯s right! I even feel that Angelica is the producer of the game!] [I wonder whether Su Ping is watching Angelica play the game. I don¡¯t think he expected such a way to clear the game!] [Congratulations, host! You¡¯ve cleared Zombie Apocalypse V in one go again!] [Now, there are only Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter left. If Angelica can clear Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter in one go, it will definitely be a milestone in the gaming industry history!] [The only person who can surpass the host in the future is the host herself!] The viewers were all praising Angelica in the comments. Since she had experienced such a scene too many times, she wasn¡¯t particularly surprised. After all, in the past, everyone would praise Angelica every time she completed a game with one life. Afterward, the game screen suddenly turned black, and Angelica thought the game was about to end. However, Angelica didn¡¯t expect that she would open her eyes again and continue the game. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why isn¡¯t the game over yet?¡± At this moment, Angelica was perplexed. The live stream room viewers were also puzzled by the situation. They had no idea why the game was still going on after Angelica killed Rain. Could it be that there were still bosses who had yet to be killed? At this time, Angelica suddenly looked up and saw Wester sitting not far from her! ¡°Wesker! How could it be him?! Why did he appear in front of me?! Could it be that everything that happened is Wesker¡¯s scheme?¡± Until now, Angelica still didn¡¯t fully trust Wesker. Although she was startled, at the same time, she was ready to fight. Suddenly, Wesker moved as he did in Zombie Apocalypse IV again. He teleported and appeared behind Angelica. Then, Wesker directly inserted the needle in his hand into Angelica¡¯s neck! He injected something into Angelica! The scene was too familiar to Angelica. At the beginning of Zombie Apocalypse IV, it was because Wesker injected an anti-virus serum into Angelica that made her lose her powers! With the injection of the drug, Angelica¡¯s body began to tremble. Afterward, she fell to the ground as her whole body twitched. However, Angelica suddenly felt a powerful strength returning to her body. Her eyes widened, and she could not help but think of a possibility. ¡°Could it be that my superpowers had returned?¡± Chapter 132 - 132 Cheating On Her Viewers 132 Cheating On Her Viewers [What¡¯s going on? What is Wesker doing? What did he inject Angelica with?] [I knew that Wesker wasn¡¯t a good person. Well, it turns out that this guy is waiting for Angelica to come to him!] [Don¡¯t you guys notice that Angelica didn¡¯t seem to be in any particular pain? Could it be that Wesker injected Angelica with something harmless?] Some viewers criticized Wesker, while others realized that the situation differed from what they had expected. It was because Angelica gradually became calm, and she stood up again. Then, Wesker explained what he had just done and the human race¡¯s situation to Angelica. As they were talking, Angelica was also following Wesker into the building they were in. It turned out that there weren¡¯t many humans left in the world. The Red Queen was summoning zombies from all over the world to destroy humans! The place where they were now was the last remaining base of humanity. If anyone destroyed this place, then humankind would go extinct! Hence, Wesker restored Angelica¡¯s superpowers in the hope that she could fight side by side with him and fight against the zombies! At this point, Angelica and Alice had already reached the top of the building and could see the spectacular scene in front. Zombies were everywhere, no matter if they were flying or running on the ground. There were all sorts of Lickers and giant zombies, and the zombies were countless. Meanwhile, humans were fighting with all their might to block the zombies. The helicopters in the air were also constantly fighting with all kinds of flying zombies. However, a helicopter would be attacked and crash to the ground from time to time, exploding into a fireball. It was simply a portrait of hell! The scene didn¡¯t last long. Angelica only looked at it for a few seconds before her vision suddenly turned dark, and the game entered the countdown segment. Soon, Angelica opened her eyes again, but she was back in reality. She took off the virtual reality device and sat in front of the computer desk. Even at this point, Angelica still wanted to play more. Of course, the millions of live stream room viewers wanted to watch more. Everyone¡¯s mind was still repeating the scene they had just seen before the end of the game. [Why did the game suddenly end? Let me fight the zombies with Wesker!] [That¡¯s right! The scene just now was so spectacular. Why did it suddenly disappear?] [Su Ping must be doing this on purpose. Brothers, get ready to send your blade!] [Is that the trailer for Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter?] [Hiss, if that¡¯s the case, then the next game is really going to be a legend!] [It¡¯s too scary. Seeing the overwhelming number of zombies just now made me feel despair. Can humans withstand it?] The live stream room viewers enthusiastically discussed the last scene they had just watched. Angelica had not completely recovered from the shock. After a while, Angelica finally realized that the game was over, and she had returned to reality. Meanwhile, Angelica took a look at the live stream room¡¯s statistics. She officially achieved four million concurrent viewers! The number of concurrent views could be said to be quite terrifying. Although someone would break the record in the future, it was definitely unprecedented! It was because Youtube provided real statistics. The number of people written on it indicated how many active accounts were watching the live stream! A total of four million people had gathered in Angelica¡¯s live stream room to watch her clear Zombie Apocalypse V! Angelica took a few sips of water, rested for a while, and then spoke. ¡°Thank you for supporting my live stream room. In fact, I was prepared to fail this time. I didn¡¯t expect my luck to be so good that I cleared the game again and again.¡± Angelica said humbly and shyly, and her words immediately attracted the viewers¡¯ praise. [Luck? It will be considered luck if one clears the game once or twice. However, it¡¯s absolute strength if you can clear the game on your first try every time!] [That¡¯s right. In this era, there aren¡¯t many players who are as strong as the host. Host, you must continue to maintain your records!] [Angelica is the most capable streamer in my heart. You don¡¯t have to be humble!] [Haha! All the best, host. I¡¯m looking forward to seeing you clear Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter in one go!] The game ended, and Angelica began interacting with the live stream room viewers. Suddenly, Angelica thought of something and said. ¡°I remember Su Ping said that he would start working on Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter as soon as he finished Zombie Apocalypse V, right?¡± ¡°Is anyone curious to see how much work Su Ping has done in Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we call Su Ping now and ask about the progress?¡± Upon hearing it, the live stream room viewers immediately became excited. Initially, some players were about to leave because Angelica had finished the game. However, they stopped when they heard that Angelica would ask Su Ping about Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter. Many people about to leave the live stream room failed to click the left button to turn off the live stream room¡¯s page. [Go ahead! If you don¡¯t, I will report you for false advertising!] [Hurry up! Hurry up! Although I haven¡¯t played Zombie Apocalypse V yet, I still want to know when Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter will be released!] [Haha! As expected of Angelica to be the only one who can ask Su Ping about it in advance!] [I suspect you¡¯re just showing off your relationship with Su Ping. Am I right? It must be!] Seeing the joyful comments in the live stream room, Angelica would not lie to her viewers. Besides, it was only 7 p.m. According to what Angelica knew about Su Ping, he should be having dinner now. He had probably finished his work for the day. Therefore, calling Su Ping during this time would not affect his work. Soon, Angelica dialed Su Ping¡¯s phone number in front of the excited viewers. After a few beeps, Su Ping¡¯s voice came through the phone. ¡°Angelica? Aren¡¯t you supposed to be streaming now? Why did you suddenly call me?¡± Su Ping sounded surprised on the other end of the phone. He didn¡¯t know why Angelica was calling him. Chapter 133 - 133 Being Entertained 133 Being Entertained While noticing Su Ping¡¯s confusion, Angelica said with a smile. ¡°Su Ping, what are you doing now?¡± Su Ping answered honestly. ¡°I¡¯m eating dinner, of course. I haven¡¯t done anything besides eating, sleeping, and working these days. By the way, did those live stream room viewers ask you to contact me and get information?¡± Su Ping was quick-witted. He soon realized that Angelica was doing a live stream. He knew the phone call might have something to do with the live stream room viewers! He knew very well that Angelica would never reject the viewers¡¯ requests. As long as the viewers urged her to call him, she was highly likely to do so! However, Su Ping had guessed the situation wrong this time. [Damn Su Ping! What kind of people does he think we are? Why will we force Angelica to do something she doesn¡¯t like?] [That¡¯s right. Su Ping is gauging the heart of a gentleman with his mean measure!] [Hmph! I didn¡¯t expect Su Ping to be such a narrow-minded man. He disappoints me!] [Host, you should have seen Su Ping¡¯s true colors now, right? There was no good man, including Su Ping!] The live stream room viewers began pointing fingers at Su Ping after hearing his words. Angelica couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter when she saw the virtual conversation between Su Ping and the viewers. ¡°Pfft! Haha! Su Ping, you¡¯re wrong this time. I called you because I wanted to. The viewers didn¡¯t say anything!¡± ¡°Now, the viewers know that you¡¯ve misunderstood them. They¡¯re all threatening to send you blades. What are you going to do?¡± Su Ping wasn¡¯t afraid of them at all. Instead, he said righteously and confidently. ¡°What? Those guys are going to send me blades again?¡± ¡°That¡¯s great! It just so happens that I haven¡¯t been out for a while, and my razors are running out. I can use the blades they sent to me!¡± ¡°By the way, brothers, when you¡¯re mailing the blades, it¡¯s best to mail them to me in bigger sizes. My beard grows fast, so please send the correct size!¡± Su Ping¡¯s words caused an uproar in the live stream room. Nobody expected Su Ping to be arrogant while facing the viewers¡¯ blade threat. It seemed like he didn¡¯t take the viewers¡¯ threat seriously. [Damn Su Ping! As expected of an independent game producer. He¡¯s looking down on our threat!] [Brothers, I can find out where Su Ping lives. Let¡¯s find him together and show him what we¡¯re capable of!] [Su Ping is too arrogant. He must be taught a lesson!] [Huh, I must let Su Ping know that players are not to be offended physically. He must know who¡¯s the real deal, the producer or the player?] Looking at the agitated comments, the naive Angelica believed that some would pick a fight with Su Ping. Hence, Angelica immediately persuaded¡­ ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be so impulsive. Su Ping was just joking. He¡¯s been staying at home and developing new games for you all. How could you think of ways to beat him up?¡± ¡°Who will develop a new game for you if you injure him?!¡± Angelica¡¯s words instantly entertained the live stream room viewers. No one expected that while everyone was joking and having fun, only Angelica took it seriously! Even Su Ping couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter. He didn¡¯t expect that in the 21st century, there would still be someone as pure-hearted as Angelica. ¡°Pfft! Haha! Angelica, are you serious about what you just said?¡± Su Ping couldn¡¯t help but ask. Meanwhile, Angelica was also dumbfounded. After she finished her words, she realized that the topic discussed in the comments seemed weird. She found that the viewers stopped criticizing Su Ping and started laughing at her. Angelica was so shy that she felt like her little head was about to smoke, but she couldn¡¯t figure out what was happening. Angelica nodded after she heard Su Ping¡¯s words. ¡°Yeah, they¡¯re going to look for you in reality, so I have to persuade them. It will be bad if they hurt you!¡± It turned out that Angelica was concerned about him! Su Ping was shocked again, but he also felt warm in his heart. After all, it meant that Angelica was worried about him getting hurt. Su Ping couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°Angelica, everyone was just joking with me. They usually like to speak nonsense about sending me blades, but no one has ever done that.¡± ¡°Even when they say they will look for me offline, they just wanted to scare me. Don¡¯t take their words seriously in the future.¡± ¡°Moreover, I¡¯ve never exposed my personal information on the Internet. Even if they want to find me, they won¡¯t be able to.¡± Su Ping said earnestly. It seemed that Angelica was too na?ve and she was just like a babe in the woods! After listening to Su Ping¡¯s words, Angelica looked at the comments again. She saw all the viewers mocking her in the comments. Finally, Angelica understood that the comments had deceived her! At this moment, Angelica wanted to find a hole to hide in immediately! As a live streamer, how can she be deceived by the comments in the live broadcast room?! Soon, Angelica¡¯s little face turned red, and she even turned off the camera in the live stream room. Angelica¡¯s actions caused the viewers to be more excited. [Haha! Angelica is so cute! I see a person who looked like me more than a decade ago while seeing Angelica!] [That¡¯s right! Angelica is just like the person who first came into contact with the internet more than a decade ago. She takes everything on the internet seriously!] [I have to say, Angelica is quite cute in this way. I really like her!] [Host, can you turn on the camera? If you don¡¯t, we¡¯ll report your live stream room!] [Oh no! You all have consumed the host¡¯s innocence. The host will no longer be as naive as before!] [The evil netizens have destroyed an innocent and cute girl!] [I think Su Ping should be blamed for all the mistakes. He should bear all the responsibility!] [Where is the blade team? Get your blades ready!] The live stream room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. The viewers had even forgotten that Angelica had called Su Ping to ask him some questions. No one cares about Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter anymore. Everyone was entertained by Angelica¡¯s naivety just now. Chapter 134 - 134 Three Days 134 Three Days After a long time, the live stream room¡¯s atmosphere finally returned to normal. Both Angelica and the live stream room viewers had calmed down a lot. Meanwhile, everyone suddenly remembered that Angelica would ask Su Ping questions on their behalf. However, Angelica didn¡¯t ask a single question until now. Instead, a long time had passed. Finally, some viewers urged Angelica to ask Su Ping about Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter. Everyone in the live stream room was very concerned about the last game of the Zombie Apocalypse series. Everyone wanted to know when it would be produced and when they could play it. After seeing the comments, Angelica immediately spoke. ¡°Alright, alright, let¡¯s stop this.¡± ¡°Su Ping, I called you because I have something important to ask you. You should¡¯ve seen the comments if you¡¯re watching the live stream.¡± ¡°How long do you need to finish Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand me. I¡¯m not urging you to complete it as soon as possible. I just think that everyone will want to know the exact release date.¡± ¡°Or you can hint at when you will complete your work. I think everyone will be happy about it too.¡± ¡°In short, you must give my viewers a big picture today, an exaggerated one.¡± ¡°Just let them know you¡¯re producing Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter now, and maybe one day in the future, we will be able to play it!¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯m also curious about the answer to this question. Can you help me satisfy everyone¡¯s curiosity?¡± As soon as Angelica said that, the chaotic comments in the live stream room instantly disappeared. Obviously, everyone in the live stream room was waiting for Su Ping¡¯s answer with full attention. Everyone wanted to know the answer. Su Ping was silent for a moment after Angelica finished her words. He deliberately keept her in suspense. Besides, Su Ping had joined Angelica¡¯s live stream room while he was on the phone. He deliberately wanted to keep the viewers in suspense. ¡°You guys kept urging me and even threatened to send me blades. This time, I¡¯ll make you anxious to death!¡± Su Ping thought retaliated. It was the benefit of being a top independent game producer. As long as he didn¡¯t reveal any information, no one would know when his game would be ready. Moreover, there was no pressure or urging from the company or the leader. He could just do anything he wanted casually! He could also do it freely! After a while, the live stream room viewers were losing their patience. Even Angelica wanted to urge Su Ping to answer the question as soon as possible. Finally, Su Ping said indifferently. ¡°Oh, about Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter, I think everyone will know the information in the next three days!¡± The live stream room went silent for a moment after Su Ping finished his words. A few minutes later, the live stream room became chaotic! [What?! Did I hear it right? Su Ping said that it would be out in three days?] [Fuck! This scumbag must be deceiving our feelings! Zombie Apocalypse V had just been released. How could the next game be released in three days? It¡¯s absurd!] [Su Ping must be lying. Even if he can produce games fast, if the situation is just the same as his words, he¡¯s not making games but producing them on an assembly line! How is it possible?!] [Damn you, Su Ping. Are you telling the truth or not? Are you trying to anger all of us players to death? Can you be a little more serious? It¡¯s a serious matter!] [Angelica, hurry up and ask Su Ping what he meant by that. What does he mean by three days?] [I don¡¯t think three days is possible. Sigh, I didn¡¯t expect Su Ping to start lying!] At that moment, Angelica¡¯s mind went blank as she looked at the dense comments in the live stream room and the viewers¡¯ doubts about Su Ping. She didn¡¯t know what to say. After a long while, Angelica finally calmed down and steadied her breathing. Then, Angelica regulated her emotions and said to Su Ping in a serious tone. ¡°Su Ping, were you joking with us just now?¡± ¡°Although I¡¯m willing to trust you, and I absolutely believe in every word you say, you should have seen that many of the viewers and your fans don¡¯t think that you can complete Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter in three days.¡± ¡°Do you want to say something to make everyone believe you were serious about what you said?¡± Su Ping said with a confident smile to Angelica¡¯s confusion and persuasion. ¡°I don¡¯t think anyone who doubts me is a true fan of mine because they don¡¯t even trust me!¡± ¡°Only those who are willing to believe in me can truly experience the true joy of the games I create!¡± ¡°I will not give any explanation for what I said just now. Believe it or not, the time I give is only three days!¡± ¡°Everything will be revealed in three days!¡± Su Ping¡¯s attitude was very arrogant, just like he had no regard for anyone. Su Ping¡¯s first few sentences had even fired those who doubted him from their fan status! It immediately caused a huge controversy. Even Angelica quickly sent Su Ping two messages on her phone, hoping that Su Ping could quickly explain what he had just said. However, Su Ping only replied with three words. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Angelica felt helpless. It was the first time she had seen Su Ping being so arrogant. In the past, Angelica had always thought that Su Ping was a gentle person who didn¡¯t like to fight with others. But now, Angelica realized she didn¡¯t know Su Ping well. However, for some reason, Angelica felt that the arrogant Su Ping seemed to be more handsome than before. Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers argued about the topic of the three days Su Ping mentioned. Everyone was guessing what would happen in three days. Was Su Ping making such a bold statement, or would Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter be officially released? Chapter 135 - 135 An Enviable Physique 135 An Enviable Physique Angelica¡¯s live stream ended very late, but she ended her stream much earlier than usual. What Su Ping had said had been on her mind throughout the live stream. Angelica contacted Su Ping as soon as she ended her live stream and got straight to the point. ¡°Do you know how much trouble you¡¯ve caused by what you said during my live stream?¡± ¡°No matter what you say, you can¡¯t disapprove of your fans. After all, they¡¯ve been supporting your game!¡± Angelica¡¯s words were harsh. She believed that Su Ping had said those words because he had never been a live streamer. Therefore, Angelica thought that, as a professional live streamer, she had to remind Su Ping what he should and should not say. However, Su Ping only smiled at Angelica¡¯s words. ¡°Thank you for your concern. I know you¡¯re doing it for my good.¡± ¡°But I¡¯ve only expressed my actual thoughts. Those who doubted me indicated that they didn¡¯t know me well enough!¡± ¡°And in my eyes, my fans should trust me unconditionally! Besides, I¡¯ve never let anyone down, so why wouldn¡¯t they believe me?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it because they¡¯re not my loyal fans?¡± Su Ping¡¯s words left Angelica in a daze. She was at a loss for words and didn¡¯t know what to say. ¡°You¡­ Sigh, alright, I can¡¯t win in an argument against you.¡± ¡°However, I still hope you won¡¯t be so harsh to the viewers in the future.¡± ¡°Nowadays, if you offend the viewers, you will be in a lot of trouble.¡± This time, Su Ping didn¡¯t argue with Angelica about who was right and who was wrong. He just smiled and nodded. ¡°I know. I¡¯ll listen to you in the future.¡± ¡°By the way, since it¡¯s not very late yet, do you want to have supper together? My treat?¡± Angelica¡¯s spirits were lifted at once. It was rare that Su Ping was willing to treat her to a meal. Of course, Angelica would not turn down the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. On her way to meet Su Ping, Angelica had been thinking about what she should order to use up Su Ping¡¯s money! Of course, to Su Ping, treating Angelica to a meal at night wouldn¡¯t cost him much. His bank account currently had a few billion dollars, which were all in US dollars. The money was enough for a person to spend for ten lifetimes! How much could a late-night snack cost? As a matter of fact, Su Ping hesitated to reveal when Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter would be released. In fact, Su Ping had already finished the game! At first, Su Ping had planned to tell the truth, telling everyone that the game was ready to go online. However, when Su Ping was about to say it, he thought about it and realized that it would be shocking to say it out loud. Hence, he changed his words from ¡°already done¡± to ¡°three days.¡± Even so, Su Ping still caused great controversy among the players. After all, Zombie Apocalypse V had just been released a few days ago, and now Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter was about to be released. Who would believe it? The production speed was truly a little too terrifying. Su Ping and Angelica had their supper late into the night. Su Ping was shocked by Angelica¡¯s appetite. Towards the end of the meal, Su Ping would sneak glances at Angelica¡¯s stomach from time to time as if he were not looking at a girl¡¯s stomach but Doraemon¡¯s treasure bag. ¡°Speaking of which, when did you become so good at eating? Why didn¡¯t I notice it before?¡± Su Ping couldn¡¯t help but ask while looking at Angelica¡¯s stomach. Upon hearing it, Angelica¡¯s small face suddenly blushed. She had eaten so much today because she was tired from the live stream and wanted Su Ping to spend money on her. However, Su Ping wasn¡¯t concerned about the bill at all. He was concerned about her appetite. Angelica was very embarrassed. She stammered for a long time before finally speaking with a red face. ¡°I¡¯ve always eaten a lot, and I¡¯ve been like this since I was young.¡± ¡°I just don¡¯t know why I can¡¯t get fat no matter how much I eat. Sigh, it¡¯s frustrating!¡± Su Ping wished he could grab Angelica and tie her up in the lab to study her. Was Angelica showing off to him? No matter how much Angelica ate, she would not gain weight. It was an ability that many people dreamed of! No matter if it was a man or a woman, of course, they all hoped that they wouldn¡¯t gain weight from eating. Even Su Ping was jealous of Angelica¡¯s appetite. The two of them ate until it was close to midnight before they finally paid the bill and left together. Since Su Ping had moved close to Angelica¡¯s house, he sent her back first before returning to his own home. Su Ping didn¡¯t go to bed right away. Instead, he turned on his computer and dragged the folder ¡°Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter¡± into an email. Then he emailed Steam¡¯s marketing manager and went to bed. Su Ping left a message in the email. ¡°The game will be officially released in three days, but don¡¯t release it early! We can start advertising in advance to warm up the game. After the Zombie Apocalypse series is over, I will start creating a new game series. I look forward to working with your company in the future!¡± Su Ping disclosed much information in the email, but he only conveyed one main topic. That was to hope he could continue cooperating with Steam in the future by maintaining the previous cooperation. Everyone would benefit and win from it. After all, Steam was the largest gaming platform in the world. Countless game producers worldwide would publish their hard-earned games here to earn money. Su Ping had no choice but to work with Steam. Otherwise, the players would have no idea where to download the game if it didn¡¯t have a suitable promotion channel, even if the quality of Su Ping¡¯s game was good. That was why Su Ping had never acted like a big shot while working with Steam. He had always worked with the platform as an equal. Of course, if one wanted an equal relationship, one would need to be strong. Su Ping happened to have such strength. Even a major game development company like Steam had to try to get on Su Ping¡¯s good side and keep him on their platform. Meanwhile, no one knew that Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter, which everyone had been looking forward to, had completed all the production work! Chapter 136 - 136 Choosing the New Game 136 Choosing the New Game As Su Ping emailed Steam¡¯s marketing manager, he had finished producing all the Zombie Apocalypse series games by then. Afterward, Su Ping didn¡¯t need to do anything else since Steam was more than enough to promote and sell the game. So, from now on, the work on the Zombie Apocalypse series has ended in Su Ping¡¯s hands! In the future, the Zombie Apocalypse series would continue to bring Su Ping huge income. However, Su Ping could start thinking about making a new game. A few months had passed since the release of Zombie Apocalypse I. Su Ping also released A Quiet Place and World War Z during this period. So far, all the games Su Ping made were related to zombies, except A Quiet Place! As a matter of fact, not only were the players getting tired of it, but even Su Ping himself was not so interested in zombie games. ¡°I think I won¡¯t be making any more zombie series games in the future. I¡¯ll just make The Matrix series first!¡± Su Ping sat in front of the computer, planning his future work. The idea of making The Matrix series had been in Su Ping¡¯s mind for a long time. He had been fond of The Matrix series since he was in the other world. The three movies perfectly fulfilled Su Ping¡¯s imagination of the world of the hacker empire. It was a world that was almost controlled by computers. All the humans on earth lived in a virtual world created by computers! In reality, everyone¡¯s body was controlled by a computer and soaked in nutrient fluids. Moreover, that world had quite advanced brain-computer interface technology, which was the foundation for the normal operation of the whole world in The Matrix! It allowed people¡¯s consciousness to live in the virtual world, and at the same time, they would not be able to realize that they were living in a fake world! The entire history of humankind had stopped moving forward! Su Ping had watched the three movies countless times. Each scene and image in the movie were still fresh in his mind. Now that Su Ping had the system, he wanted to use the system¡¯s power to turn the movie into a game so that the millions of players in this world could play The Matrix! ¡°However, The Matrix only has three movies. It means that I can only produce three games with it. These three games will probably take up more than a month.¡± ¡°But what game should I make after I finish The Matrix?¡± Su Ping fell into deep thought again. The Matrix only had three sequels of movies. It differed from Zombie Apocalypse, where Su Ping could produce six at once! Therefore, before launching The Matrix, Su Ping had to consider his future development plans. ¡°Now, the Zombie Apocalypse series is over. The Matrix is about the war between humans and computers¡­.¡± ¡°What movie should I choose to turn into games after that¡­.¡± Su Ping was caught in a dilemma. There were too many excellent films and television works in his previous life. Su Ping couldn¡¯t pick all of them at once. While he was thinking, Su Ping was also controlling the mouse to browse the web on the computer, hoping to inspire himself with divergent thinking. Just then, Su Ping saw the trailer of a monster movie on the web page. There was no Ultraman in this world, but the Japanese producers still created a giant creature similar to Ultraman. It was known as the Giant of Light. In fact, the Giant of Light and Ultraman were basically the same. It was just different names in different worlds. While seeing the information about the Giant of Light on the web page, an idea came to Su Ping¡¯s mind. He thought of a theme that was also related to monsters. However, in the movie, no Ultraman nor the Giant of Light helped the humans to fight the monsters. Humans could only fight by themselves! The monsters came from the other side of the wormhole, which was the other dimension. For some unknown reason, many wormholes connected to another world appeared on Earth. Hence, many huge and destructive monsters began to run out of the wormholes. These monsters naturally brought significant impact and destruction to the human world. Hence, humans built high walls to resist the monsters. However, it couldn¡¯t stop the monster¡¯s attacks. Countless coastal cities were still affected. Humans were also on the verge of extinction because of the monsters¡¯ invasion! At that moment, humans thought of a brand new weapon, an enormous weapon that could fight against monsters! That was mechas! As long as two people with perfect chemistry operate the mecha together, they can fight the monsters! It was the Pacific Rim series! The name of the series popped up in Su Ping¡¯s mind! Su Ping even watched all the Pacific Rim movies in the movie theater. He had been obsessed with the mechas in the movies! ¡°Great! It¡¯s decided then. I¡¯ll launch the Pacific Rim series when The Matrix series is over!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll amaze everyone with mechas. I¡¯ll let everyone know what a man¡¯s romance is!¡± Su Ping was very excited. He couldn¡¯t wait to see the players in this world fight against the huge monsters in their mechas! Su Ping was sure that once he made the games in the Pacific Rim series, they would cause a huge sensation in this world. The situation would be even more chaotic than in the previous Zombie Apocalypse series! After all, not everyone liked zombies, and there were limitations to the audience for horror themes. It caused the Zombie Apocalypse could only be called a masterpiece, but not an epic game. However, the Pacific Rim series, a game created by a super IP, had the potential to be epic! Su Ping fell asleep as he thought about his game plan. Even Su Ping himself didn¡¯t know when he had fallen asleep. When he woke up in the morning, he found that he was still wearing a faint smile. It seemed that he had a good night¡¯s sleep last night and probably had a good dream. As time passed, an advertisement suddenly appeared on Steam¡¯s main page. It immediately caused a sensation among players around the world. At first, everyone thought they had seen it wrong. Afterward, they confirmed that the words shown in the advertisement were Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter! At this moment, hundreds of millions of players were shocked. Chapter 137 - 137 Coming Soon! 137 Coming Soon! [Fuck! Is it true? Am I seeing it right? Is Steam advertising Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter? Steam, are you sure you didn¡¯t write it wrong? Shouldn¡¯t it be Zombie Apocalypse V?] [I thought my eyes were playing tricks with me. I didn¡¯t expect it to be true. Is Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter really done? Otherwise, why would Steam start advertising now?] [Oh my goodness! Su Ping¡¯s speed is beyond my knowledge again. The three days he mentioned in the live stream are true! It¡¯s even less than three days!] [It seems that we shouldn¡¯t have doubted Su Ping. He¡¯s always been fast!] [Now, I declare that Su Ping is the best game producer in the world. No game development company will ever be able to compare with Su Ping!] [Is Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter finally here? Sigh. Although I¡¯m very happy and looking forward to it, it also means that the Zombie Apocalypse series is about to end. It¡¯s still a little regretful!] As Steam began advertising Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter, more and more players learned of the news. Everyone logged in to Steam one after another, wanting to see when Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter would be officially launched. After the players clicked on the advertisement on Steam, the date on it revealed the answers to them. Three days later! Three days later, Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter would be officially released on Steam. As usual, it will be available for download at noon! Soon, the news spread over the internet. No matter which country the players were from, they all received the news at the fastest speed. Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter also quickly appeared on the search list on social media, causing a heated discussion among netizens worldwide. Since Su Ping became a game designer, he never bought traffic for the hot search. However, whenever Su Ping released a new game, it would be on the trending list due to the passionate players and fans! Of course, the situation was the same this time. Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter was still the most popular topic in the next three days. Moreover, Zombie Apocalypse V had just been released not long ago, so players could discuss Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter¡¯s plot with their friends and netizens while playing it. The two games¡¯ popularity was so great that it achieved the effect of ¡°One plus one is greater than two¡±! Finally, with the anticipation of countless players and netizens, three days passed! At noon on the third day, there were less than ten minutes before noon. Countless players were already waiting in front of their computers. As soon as Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter was online and available for download, they would immediately click the left mouse. Afterward, they would complete the entire purchase process as quickly as possible and save Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter in their game library. Although most of them wouldn¡¯t enter the game to play it immediately, being able to purchase the new Zombie Apocalypse series game was enough to make the players feel delighted and even have a vague sense of accomplishment. It had become a symbol of status. If a player who claimed to be a fan of Su Ping failed to buy all the games, he wouldn¡¯t be recognized by the other fans in the game community! Everyone would not acknowledge his status. The ten-minute countdown ended, and it was 12 p.m.! In various countries worldwide, in front of countless computer screens, players clicked their mouse and began downloading Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter! The game¡¯s title was like magic, drawing everyone¡¯s experience to it, and nobody could resist downloading it! [It¡¯s finally available for download. Haha! I¡¯m going to play this game as soon as possible!] [I must be the first to clear the Zombie Apocalypse series!] [The Zombie Apocalypse series is finally fully released. Sigh, an era has come to an end.] [I hope Su Ping can continue to release good games in the future. Su Ping, I believe in your abilities!] [Finally, it¡¯s released. I¡¯ve collected all six of the Zombie Apocalypse games. Speaking of which, can Su Ping give me a small reward or something after I¡¯ve achieved such an honor?] Many players posted screenshots of the game they were downloading on the forums and in the gaming community, and then they began to discuss it with other players. Some players who hadn¡¯t cleared Zombie Apocalypse V played the previous game while downloading Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter. In less than an hour, Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter had achieved tens of millions of downloads and more than ten million downloads! It was a terrifying number. However, to Su Ping, the number was nothing special. So far, Su Ping¡¯s previous games have brought him more than five billion yuan! Moreover, his games were still bringing him more income, and his total income might exceed tens of billions of yuan in the future! By that time, Su Ping would be so wealthy that he could even be ranked among the world¡¯s billionaires! Therefore, Su Ping was no longer as sensitive and concerned about the statistics of his new game as he had been in the beginning. In any case, every new game was a new peak, which was a fact for everyone! However, Steam would still be as cautious as before whenever Su Ping released a new game. At 3 p.m., Angelica was late and finally appeared on her live stream. Of course, it didn¡¯t mean that Angelica was just late. She was just waiting for the computer to finish downloading Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter before starting the live stream! Otherwise, sitting in front of the computer screen for three hours without any new games to play would torture the streamer and the viewers. Therefore, if Su Ping released a new game and didn¡¯t give Angelica the game installation package beforehand, she wouldn¡¯t start her live stream in advance. Instead, Angelica waited for the game to be downloaded before turning on her live stream. This way, she could start the game as quickly as possible to avoid an awkward scene such as doing nothing in the live stream room. ¡°Good afternoon, friends. It¡¯s 3 p.m., and I¡¯ve finished downloading Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure everyone knows the content of my live stream today. That¡¯s right! I¡¯ll be playing Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter!¡± ¡°Today, as long as I can clear Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter in one go, I will have accomplished an unprecedented achievement!¡± ¡°That means I finished the entire Zombie Apocalypse series in one go! I believe that I¡¯m the only one in the world who has the chance to accomplish it!¡± Chapter 138 - 138 The Toughest Challenge 138 The Toughest Challenge Angelica¡¯s live stream room was unprecedentedly lively today and surpassed four million viewers when she started! Why was Angelica so popular today? Angelica could vaguely guess the reason. It was because Angelica was probably the only player in the world who had never died in the Zombie Apocalypse series! In other words, from Zombie Apocalypse I to Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter, Angelica had only used one life and hadn¡¯t restarted the game! It was definitely a tough goal to achieve! In the beginning, when only Zombie Apocalypse I and Zombie Apocalypse II were released, many highly skilled streamers wanted to challenge the achievement. However, as the game gradually continued to update, the number of players who used one life to clear the game began to decrease rapidly. When Zombie Apocalypse III was released, no one in the world was like Angelica, who had never failed before! That was why Angelica¡¯s current achievements were so rare and valuable. So many players gathered in Angelica¡¯s live stream today to witness the historic moment. Perhaps in a few hours, Angelica would become the only player who only used one life and never failed to clear the Zombie Apocalypse series! ¡°Thank you for your support today. Let¡¯s not talk too much and start the game as soon as possible to complete today¡¯s final challenge!¡± ¡°Why do I feel that everyone is even more anxious than I am?¡± Angelica laughed and talked in the live stream room. She was doing it to liven up the atmosphere of the live stream room and help herself relax. When the live stream room viewers saw Angelica happy and relaxed, they also interacted with her excitedly. [Host, you must succeed today, no matter what. It wasn¡¯t easy for you to play till Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter. It will be a pity if you fail at the last step!] [That¡¯s right, host. You¡¯re the only one in the world with the chance to complete the achievement. Don¡¯t let us down!] [If the host fails today¡¯s challenge, I¡¯ll unsubscribe you immediately!] [Believe in yourself, Angelica. You¡¯re the best in my heart!] [Speaking of which, since today is such an important day, host, why don¡¯t you invite Su Ping over to watch the live stream? With Su Ping¡¯s blessing, the game might be easier!] [Why don¡¯t we invite Su Ping over? He¡¯s quite a show-maker when he¡¯s doing a live stream!] Some live stream room viewers were giving Angelica advice, while some encouraged her to help her maintain her confidence. Looking at the players¡¯ advice, Angelica looked at the time and suddenly said. ¡°I think you all have a point. Since today¡¯s challenge is so important, as the producer of the game series, it¡¯s reasonable for Su Ping to come and watch the battle, right?¡± Angelica sent a message to Su Ping¡¯s social media account right away. ¡°Su Ping, I¡¯m going to clear Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter in one go today. Do you want to join my live stream room?¡± ¡°By that time, I¡¯ll be the only player in the world to clear the game with one life. Do you want to miss such a historic moment as the game designer?¡± Meanwhile, on the other side¡­ In fact, Su Ping had just woken up not long ago. He slept in late last night. Since Su Ping had been busy with The Matrix, he hadn¡¯t slept much. Su Ping had always been a workaholic. Once he had set his mind on something, he would do it with all his might, forgetting time and everything else. Su Ping had just finished washing up. He didn¡¯t even have time to eat when he received a message from Angelica. Su Ping touched his growling stomach. He wanted to refuse but couldn¡¯t bear to see Angelica disappointed. Hence, Su Ping replied. ¡°I might need to eat something first, but you can start your stream. I should be able to go to your stream and watch it later.¡± ¡°I wish you the best in completing the challenge! If you can clear the Zombie Apocalypse series with one life, I¡¯ll give you a gift. How about it?¡± As soon as Su Ping sent the message, the live stream room viewers became excited. Not only did Su Ping want to join the live stream room to supervise the challenge, but he also promised to give Angelica a gift if she succeeded. Many viewers still remembered that Su Ping had given Angelica World War Z as a gift after he had set up the challenge. Su Ping wanted Angelica to be the first player in the world to play World War Z, and at that time, the game wasn¡¯t officially launched. It could be said that for a certain time, Angelica was the only person in the world who had played World War Z. At that time, countless players around the world were envious of her. Now, Su Ping had made another promise! [Guys, what do you think Su Ping will give Angelica if she succeeds this time?] [Will Su Ping give Angelica a gift or a new game like last time?] [Since Su Ping is a straight man, I think he may give Angelica a game! Su Ping is fast in producing games. Giving games is as easy as a piece of game to him, but giving him gifts will be difficult!] [No way¡­ Last time, Angelica played World War Z alone in the live stream room. Are we just going to watch her play the new game that Su Ping gifted her again?] [What else can we do? You know the relationship between Su Ping and Angelica. You didn¡¯t object to them being intimate in private!] [Sigh, if only I were a pretty girl. I would find Su Ping¡¯s place. I wouldn¡¯t regret it even if I had to deliver myself to him for free!] [Fuck! Brother, calm down! You¡¯re a man!] Since Su Ping¡¯s message contained too much information, the live stream room was in an uproar. The players were all discussing what gift Su Ping would give Angelica this time. It seemed that in their minds, they were sure that Angelica could complete the challenge! However, it was normal for the players to think that way. After all, Angelica¡¯s past achievements were too terrifying! From Zombie Apocalypse I to Zombie Apocalypse V, Angelica never died in the game! It could no longer be explained by strength. Angelica could even be called the chosen one! Chapter 139 - 139 The New Setting 139 The New Setting With Su Ping¡¯s promise, Angelica was full of fighting spirit before the game started. She secretly decided in her heart. This time, she must clear Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter in one go! That way, Angelica could get Su Ping¡¯s gift! Angelica was looking forward to it because Su Ping gave her World War Z as a gift last time! Besides, Su Ping didn¡¯t tell anyone about the game, which meant that Angelica was the only one who could play it! It was already close to a privilege! Since the quality of Su Ping¡¯s games had always been high, it was an honor even for Angelica to be able to play Su Ping¡¯s new game before anyone else! Moreover, when Angelica was playing World War Z, it made players worldwide envious. The feeling of being the center of attention made Angelica irresistible. Therefore, this time, Angelica had to fulfill Su Ping¡¯s request and clear Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter in one go to get Su Ping¡¯s reward! ¡°Su Ping, if you¡¯re watching the live stream, you can start thinking about what kind of gift you will give me!¡± ¡°I will definitely succeed!¡± Angelica spoke in a serious tone while she looked at the camera in front of her. After hearing it, the live stream room viewers suddenly became lively. Angelica¡¯s words were like a declaration of war. She was declaring war on Su Ping! [Haha! Good job, host. That¡¯s the kind of aura you need! This time, you¡¯ll definitely get Su Ping¡¯s gift!] [Angelica is so confident. It seems she¡¯s determined to get Su Ping¡¯s gift this time?] [I¡¯m looking forward to seeing what kind of gift Su Ping will give Angelica this time. Would it be a new game? If that¡¯s so, that would be too exciting!] [By the way, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s strange that a boy gives a girl a new game as a gift every time? Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s weird?] [What¡¯s wrong with that? Angelica is definitely the girl who loves to play games the most in this world. Please don¡¯t use the mindset of an ordinary person to judge Angelica¡¯s preferences!] [That¡¯s right, you¡¯re definitely not a loyal fan of Angelica¡¯s since you asked such a question! Loyal fans all know that the best gift for Angelica is something related to games!] [I can only say that Su Ping and Angelica are a perfect match! One produces games, while the other likes to play games! Oh my goodness!] Looking at the encouragement and ridicule comments in the live stream room, Angelica couldn¡¯t help but laugh. She was looking forward to the gift Su Ping would give her. ¡°Well, it¡¯s almost time. There are quite a few people in the live stream room now, so let¡¯s start clearing Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter now!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll try to clear the game within a few hours!¡± ¡°Since it¡¯s the last game in the Zombie Apocalypse series. I hope everyone can enjoy yourselves while watching my live stream!¡± Angelica said in a serious tone while she looked at the camera. Then, she opened Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter and officially began the challenge! Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter was the last game in the Zombie Apocalypse series. Angelica was curious about what plot Su Ping would come up with in this game. And what would the outcome be? Angelica couldn¡¯t help but want to finish the game and know the outcome as soon as possible! The game officially began. At the beginning of the game, it was still a familiar routine. First, it introduced the background setting and related plot through some clips. It would give the players a general understanding of the game before it started. The situation exceeded Angelica¡¯s expectations this time because the game had a new setting. It was slightly different from the previous plot. ¡°Eh? Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter seems to have changed some of the prequel¡¯s settings?¡± ¡°What was Su Ping thinking when he was making the game? How can you change the game¡¯s settings so casually?!¡± Angelica asked in confusion. According to the introduction at the beginning of the game, the zombie virus was developed because Marcus, the major company shareholder, wanted to treat his daughter Alicia¡¯s illness. In the end, during the treatment, the Umbrella Corporation¡¯s researchers discovered that the zombie virus had various other effects that could cure many severe diseases. Since then, the zombie virus has been used worldwide, but people at that time didn¡¯t know the side effects of the virus. Soon, the first zombie in the world was born! It was in an amusement park¡¯s entertainment facility. A boy suddenly felt difficulty breathing and fell to the ground. When the people around him wanted to give him first aid¡­ However, the boy had already become a zombie. Everyone inside had been infected when the entertainment facility returned to the starting point. The virus soon infected the amusement park, and the zombie crisis broke out. After learning of the severe side effects of the zombie virus, Marcus decided to stop using it to prevent the same thing from happening again. However, another company shareholder, Dr. Birkin, opposed Marcus¡¯s decision. The two had a fierce conflict on the matter, and they couldn¡¯t compromise. Ultimately, to make more money, Dr. Birkin got Wesker to kill Marcus and become Alicia¡¯s guardian! In order to more conveniently control Umbrella Corporation and let Dr. Birkin achieve his plan¡­ Dr. Birkin designed an artificial intelligence system to manage the company, and the artificial intelligence system used Alicia¡¯s appearance as its image. The artificial intelligence system was the Red Queen! After that, it was the plot that happened in Zombie Apocalypse I. The zombie virus in the laboratory leaked out and eventually destroyed the entire human world! However, in Zombie Apocalypse V, in order to protect humankind, Wesker fought a decisive battle with the zombies. The plot animation came to an end. Angelica had been looking forward to the battle but didn¡¯t get to see it. When she opened her eyes again, she found that everything around her had turned into ruins. Moreover, she seemed to be at the place where the battle had broken out. The scene made Angelica and many viewers very disappointed. It was clear that the players couldn¡¯t experience the spectacular war in the game. Chapter 140 - 140 The New Monster, the Kipepeo 140 The New Monster, the Kipepeo ¡°Sigh, what a pity. I thought the beginning of Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter would be related to the ending of Zombie Apocalypse V and would have a big fight with the zombies. Why did the battle end so quickly?¡± Angelica looked at the ruins in front of her and spoke regretfully. The live stream room viewers agreed with Angelica after listening to her words. Clearly, they were not happy with Su Ping¡¯s arrangement. [What is Su Ping doing? Where is my final battle? The ending of Zombie Apocalypse V had made me look forward to it, but now this is it?!] [Although I understand Su Ping was in a hurry and couldn¡¯t produce a scene for us players to take part in the final battle, he could at least show me some clips to let me have some fun, right? What¡¯s this now?] [I¡¯m suddenly regretting it. I¡¯d rather Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter be released later. I also want to see what the final battle looks like!] [Well, forget it. After all, Su Ping is an independent game producer, so his production capacity is limited. I hope the plot of this game can satisfy me!] Although most viewers were regretful, Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter was released too quickly. Hence, it greatly satisfied the players¡¯ desire to play the new game. For the first time, only a few people in the live stream room blamed Su Ping. Most of the people expressed their understanding of Su Ping. As lifelong fans, Angelica¡¯s live stream room viewers were well aware of the high quality of Su Ping¡¯s games. Everyone knew it would be tough to quickly and continuously release high-quality games. Hence, everyone was willing to understand Su Ping¡¯s difficulties. Angelica was relieved when she saw not many people criticize Su Ping in the live stream room comments. Angelica had been worried that the players would vent their anger on Su Ping because of Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter. Angelica would definitely speak up for Su Ping in the live stream if that were the case. However, it seemed that her worries were unnecessary. Afterward, Angelica returned to the game and explored the ruins after the battle. There seemed to be no one here, and everyone had died in the final battle. Angelica thought she could find Luther or Ada Wong, but unfortunately, she couldn¡¯t find them. After a while, Angelica came to the pool. She wanted to use the water to wash her face and sober up. However, once she got close to the water, a zombie jumped out of the pool before she could lower her head to get water. The scene gave Angelica a huge shock because the zombie appeared too suddenly. Even Angelica, who had been through hundreds of battles and was more courageous than ordinary people, was frightened by the zombie. She couldn¡¯t keep her emotions in check and began to screech. ¡°Aah! There are zombies!¡± Angelica shouted and immediately took a few steps back. She was ready to fight the zombie. However, Angelica suddenly heard the clank of chains and realized that the zombie was chained up and couldn¡¯t touch her at all. Angelica quickly patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Phew! Everyone, that zombie really scared me just now. I didn¡¯t expect to be frightened by such an ordinary zombie, even though I¡¯ve played until Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter!¡± ¡°It was too quiet here. I thought that all the humans and zombies had died in the battle. I didn¡¯t expect that there was still a zombie alive!¡± Angelica soothed her emotions as she interacted with the live stream room viewers. The scene of the zombie suddenly rushing out of the water scared Angelica and many live-stream room viewers. [Host, you¡¯re not the only one who was shocked. I almost knocked over the cup on the table just now!] [Me too! The zombie appeared so suddenly. Su Ping is quite good at creating jumpscare!] [I know why everyone is so shocked. It¡¯s because the environment here is too quiet! Moreover, we didn¡¯t see any zombies from the beginning, which made us temporarily let down our guard! Then, the game launched a jumpscare to scare us off!] [By the way, what¡¯s the purpose of this game? What is considered clearing the game successfully?] Meanwhile, in the live stream room, viewers discussed topics related to the plot. However, since the game had just started, no one could explain the situation, and no one knew how to clear the game. Everything was still in the exploration stage. Even the experienced Angelica could only continue to explore the ruins and try to get more valuable clues. Angelica continued to look for useful clues. Suddenly, she realized that a large shadow had appeared on the ground before her. Angelica turned around and was shocked. It was because a huge Kipepeo was falling from the sky. Obviously, its sharp claws could easily cut Angelica¡¯s body open. Angelica had never expected such a huge and outrageous creature to appear in Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter. Angelica thought, ¡°A Kipepeo?¡± ¡°Am I on Earth? Or am I on the Star Wars planet?¡± Angelica was completely lost. However, she didn¡¯t have time to figure out what kind of zombie virus infected it and turned it into a Kipepeo. Angelica¡¯s current task was to find a way to escape Kipepeo¡¯s capture. Meanwhile, Angelica realized a Jeep was not far in front of her, so she immediately ran over. After all, the Kipepeo flew extremely fast, and it was almost impossible to escape its capture by running with her two legs. Just as Angelica was running for her life, the live stream room viewers were also discussing the Kipepeo flying in the sky. [Fuck?! Is Su Ping serious? Why would such a creature appear on Earth? The zombie virus couldn¡¯t turn living things into this, right? It is simply ridiculous!] [Although it¡¯s a game, I have to say that the Kipepeo is bizarre!] [I think Su Ping is letting himself go. He only set up the Kipepeo to increase the game¡¯s difficulty!] [Although the Kipepeo¡¯s appearance is ridiculous, it looks cool!] [That¡¯s right! The Kipepeo is one of the coolest monsters in the Zombie Apocalypse series. It¡¯s so impressive!] Chapter 141 - 141 The Red Queen Is Here 141 The Red Queen Is Here Some of the live stream room viewers were discussing the flying Kipepeo, the terrifying creature that had appeared for the first time in the game. On the other side, Angelica quickly turned on the engine after getting into the car. Afterward, she stepped on the gas pedal and rushed out. The Kipepeo followed closely behind Angelica¡¯s car. The Kipepeo had the habit of zombies, desperately trying to attack humans. Fortunately, Angelica was in ruins, and driving through it would have a certain effect on blocking the Kipepeo in the sky. The environment made it difficult for Kipepeo to catch Angelica. However, Angelica knew the plan could not go on because it was only a temporary solution. Angelica still had to find a way to kill the Kipepeo in the sky. Angelica began to think quickly about what she should do to kill the Kipepeo in the sky. Meanwhile, Angelica suddenly noticed the ruins of a building in the sky not far ahead. The ruins left a huge shadow in the air. If the Kipepeo could crash into it, it might fall to the ground! As long as everyone was on the ground, Angelica would have the opportunity to attack! Angelica immediately formed a plan in her mind. Meanwhile, she recalled seeing a bomb in the car when she got in! Angelica thought, ¡°I¡¯ll just use the bomb to kill the Kipepeo!¡± After Angelica made up her mind, she started to drive quickly toward the ruins of the building ahead. The Kipepeo was close behind Angelica. Angelica found an opportunity and drove under the building. Since the Kipepeo was flying too fast and couldn¡¯t stop in time, its body crashed into the ruins of the building. Afterward, its huge body rolled on the ground for hundreds of meters and stopped near Angelica. [The Kipepeo has landed on the ground! It is a good opportunity!] [Host, the chance to kill the Kipepeo is just right in front of you! Host, don¡¯t be afraid. Just kill it!] [Can a bomb kill the Kipepeo? What if it doesn¡¯t?] [If it didn¡¯t die from the explosion, just try again. Haha!] The live stream room viewers encouraged Angelica to take the initiative and blow up the Kipepeo. Of course, Angelica wouldn¡¯t let go of such a good opportunity. She immediately picked up the bomb in the car and threw it out. Since the Kipepeo had crashed into the ruins of a building, it was in a daze. It took a while for it to get up from the ground. Hence, Angelica¡¯s bomb accurately exploded on Kipepeo¡¯s body! The huge smoke and dust completely blocked the entire area, and Angelica couldn¡¯t see what was happening in front of her. [Is it dead? The Kipepeo must have been blown to death by Angelica, right?] [Who knows? We¡¯ll only know the result after the dust is gone!] [Success or failure depends on just one move!] Every live stream room viewer was nervous at the time. Most of them hope that Angelica can clear Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter in one go! After all, it was the last game in the Zombie Apocalypse series. If Angelica could complete the challenge, she would make history! Meanwhile, even the anti-fans were sincerely wishing Angelica success. Finally, after a while, the dust on the ground gradually dispersed. At this time, the Kipepeo was lying on the ground without moving in front of them! Obviously, the bomb that Angelica had thrown out had successfully killed the Kipepeo! Suddenly, the live stream room was filled with the cheers of the viewers. Everyone celebrated that Angelica had successfully killed such a powerful opponent! It was a Kipepeo! Regardless of the size or the visual effect, it wasn¡¯t something zombies could compare to! Killing such a giant monster had a powerful visual impact. Meanwhile, before Angelica could rest for a while, a horn on the ruins suddenly made a loud sound. It turned out that the speaker was broadcasting a civil defense siren. [What¡¯s going on? Why did the civil defense siren suddenly sound?] [Are there still survivors in the area?] [It can¡¯t be Wesker¡¯s scheme, right? There¡¯s something wrong with the civil defense siren!] [The civil defense siren is likely the key to starting the next plot! It was too coincidental that it rang right after Angelica killed the Kipepeo!] The live stream room viewers were discussing the sudden civil defense siren. Some people thought it might be a scheme. The other group thought it might be the key to starting the following plot. After all, the civil defense siren sounded right after Angelica killed the Kipepeo. It seemed to be a scheme. Angelica made her decision quickly. ¡°I don¡¯t care. I don¡¯t know what to do if I continue to stay here. There are no survivors here, so I don¡¯t know what to do next.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see where the civil defense siren comes from. Even if it¡¯s a trap, I¡¯ll face it!¡± Angelica spoke indifferently. Afterward, she walked toward the civil defense siren. Soon, Angelica found an entrance to the basement below the speaker. After walking in, she found that much of the equipment inside seemed well-preserved. ¡°It looks like a battle command room?¡± Angelica asked, feeling confused. Angelica slowly walked into the deepest part of the basement. There were a few big screens that were still in good condition. The civil defense siren seemed to have been triggered from here. Angelica crept into the basement on tiptoe. Suddenly, the screens lit up, and the Red Queen¡¯s figure appeared on the screen. The Red Queen¡¯s sudden appearance gave Angelica a shock. After all, according to Zombie Apocalypse V, the Red Queen was going to destroy Angelica and all the humans. Hence, Angelica was naturally vigilant and treated the Red Queen as the villain. The live stream room viewers were also shocked. They had no idea why the Red Queen suddenly appeared. [What¡¯s going on? Why is the Red Queen here?] [Speaking of which, the Red Queen still exists. Does it mean that the humans lost the previous battle?] [Is the Red Queen good or bad? Why is she being good and bad at times?] [Host, hurry up and ask what the Red Queen wants to do! What did she want to tell you by using the civil defense siren to lure you here?] The live stream room viewers urged Angelica, hoping she could start communicating with the Red Queen as soon as possible. Chapter 142 - 142 The 48 142 The 48-Hour Warning Soon, Angelica began to converse with the Red Queen. Of course, Angelica didn¡¯t fully trust the Red Queen¡¯s words. After all, they were hostile toward each other in Zombie Apocalypse V. The Red Queen had captured Angelica and taken her to the underground laboratory to kill her. According to the information provided by the Red Queen, Angelica had a rough idea of the world she was in now. ¡°There are more than 4000 survivors left in the world, and they are scattered all over the world.¡± ¡°However, these people are in a precarious situation. Zombies from all over the world are attacking the gathering points of these survivors. It is estimated that the gathering points of these survivors will all be broken through by zombies within 48 hours.¡± ¡°When it happens, all the humans in the world will die, and human civilization will be destroyed!¡± When she heard it, Angelica immediately asked. ¡°Then what should I do to stop all this from happening?¡± After Angelica finished speaking, the Red Queen immediately answered. ¡°You need to reach Raccoon City within 48 hours. The underground laboratory in Raccoon City has the antidote for the zombie virus. It can kill all the zombies in the world, including the living infected by the zombie virus!¡± ¡°As long as you can get the antidote and break it, you can save humanity! However, humanity will perish if 48 hours pass before you get the antidote!¡± At this point, the Red Queen had made herself clear. Moreover, it was probably a requirement to clear the game. The players were required to get the antidote within 48 hours. They would naturally clear the game if they saved the humans. By then, all the zombie viruses and creatures infected by zombies in the world would have been eliminated. It corresponded to the game¡¯s name, Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter! After all, the game would be over if the players eliminated all the zombies worldwide. However, Angelica didn¡¯t immediately choose to believe the Red Queen. Instead, Angelica asked. ¡°Why should I believe your words? How will you show your sincerity? What if everything you said was a trap you¡¯ve already prepared?¡± When facing Angelica¡¯s doubts, the Red Queen prepared and designed a speech to convince Angelica. The Red Queen only gave one explanation. ¡°Wesker is also in The Hive!¡± Upon hearing it, Angelica was stunned for a moment, but she quickly made a decision. ¡°Alright, I believe what you just said!¡± ¡°But I still have a question. As an artificial intelligence program of Umbrella Corporation, you should be serving the company.¡± ¡°Why are you leaking the company¡¯s confidential information to me now? Are you following the procedure and rules?¡± This time, the Red Queen didn¡¯t give her answer. Instead, she said indifferently. ¡°When you reach The Hive, you will know the answers to all your questions!¡± After saying it, the Red Queen¡¯s figure disappeared from the big screen, obviously disconnected. Afterward, it was replaced with a red countdown, which started at 48 hours. It meant that Angelica only had 48 hours left to clear the game. Of course, the time flow in the game was faster than in reality. Consequently, the amount of time on the screen had been cut in half while Angelica was in a daze. ¡°It seems like I have to move as soon as possible. If I don¡¯t reach The Hive by the time the countdown ends, I¡¯ll fail my challenge!¡± Angelica said it indifferently. She first encouraged herself in her heart! This time, she had to complete her challenge! After resting for a while, Angelica immediately found a car that could still be driven and set off for Raccoon City. However, the car that Angelica was driving soon had a flat tire punctured by a thorn on the ground. Before Angelica could react, she stepped on another trap and was suspended in the air. It was obvious that someone had done it on purpose! Sure enough, a few people wearing Umbrella Corporation uniforms soon appeared in Angelica¡¯s field of vision! They were all soldiers of Umbrella Corporation! [Fuck! Why did these people from Umbrella Corporation suddenly appear on the way? What are they doing here?] [Su Ping really knows how to surprise us in unexpected places. I¡¯m sure it is a challenge that Su Ping designed on purpose!] [Do you still need to guess? Su Ping loves to torture players. He must have arranged these soldiers of Umbrella Corporation!] [Haha! It¡¯s a pity that these soldiers met Angelica this time! They definitely wouldn¡¯t have thought that the woman before them was the god of war!] Although Angelica was hung in the air by the traps set by the soldiers, none of the live stream room viewers were worried about her current situation. Everyone believed in Angelica¡¯s strength, and it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for her to take care of these small fries. A few soldiers were slowly walking towards Angelica. They looked very relaxed at that time, obviously thinking that Angelica wouldn¡¯t be able to resist at all. Moreover, the beautiful Alice that Angelica was controlling lowered the soldiers¡¯ guard even more. However, just as the soldiers were about to touch Angelica, she suddenly moved. Angelica grabbed the soldier closest to her and controlled his hand. She pointed his gun at the people around her. Afterward, Angelica pulled the trigger decisively. As the strength of the two parties was completely disproportionate, the soldier Angelica was controlling couldn¡¯t struggle at all. He could only watch as Angelica used the weapon in his hand to kill all his companions! Angelica defeated all the enemies on the scene in just a few seconds. Her body spun twice in the air due to the shot¡¯s recoil. Afterward, Angelica threw away the weapon, pulled out a dagger from her boot, and easily cut the rope on her leg. Angelica then flipped over and stood firmly on the ground! The Umbrella Corporation soldiers around her probably didn¡¯t even realize how they had lost the battle until they died. How could this woman be so powerful? Moreover, when she was at an absolute disadvantage, how could she still get rid of them so easily? After Angelica confirmed the soldiers were dead on the ground, she then walked to a motorcycle nearby. Chapter 143 - 143 Dr. Birkin Is Still Alive! 143 Dr. Birkin Is Still Alive! The car Angelica had been driving earlier had a flat tire punctured by the earth spike that Umbrella Corporation soldiers had placed. Therefore, Angelica had to find a new means of transportation. After all, the game was very tight on time since Angelica had to reach Raccoon City within 48 hours. However, it was impossible for her to make it on foot. It just so happened that the Umbrella Corporation soldiers had motorcycles, so Angelica could use their transportation. However, as soon as Angelica got on the motorcycle and was about to turn the handle to start it, two strong currents of electricity were released from the motorcycle¡¯s grips. Angelica didn¡¯t expect the motorcycle that seemed to be harmless to turn out to be a trap, and she was caught off guard and fell for it! The strong electric current immediately made Angelica fall unconscious. When the live stream room viewers saw the scene, the live stream room was filled with gloating comments. After all, Angelica¡¯s past operations had been too smooth, and now she had finally fallen for a trap! [Haha! Angelica has finally ended her sinful life!] [Su Ping is indeed cunning. Who would have thought a motorcycle could release electricity and knock people out? It is too ruthless!] [I have to say that Su Ping is the only one who can defeat Angelica! The NPCs in the game are so weak! How can they can¡¯t beat a girl while having so many people?!] [Angelica finally made a mistake. I hope an NPC can teach her a good lesson so she won¡¯t casually touch other people¡¯s motorcycles in the future!] Meanwhile, Angelica also felt helpless. She saw a motorcycle in good condition beside her and sat on it without thinking much. However, Angelica didn¡¯t expect the motorcycle would discharge electricity! After a while, without knowing how much time had passed, Angelica had no idea what time it was in the game. However, the watch on Angelica¡¯s hand could display a countdown, which reminded her. It appeared as though a few hours had gone at this point. Naturally, the in-game time. In reality, it was less than a minute. When Angelica woke up again, she realized that she had been caught. Moreover, Angelica seemed to be in a car because the metal floor under her feet was shaking. Angelica looked around. She seemed to have been locked in the cabin and wasn¡¯t the only survivor. Suddenly, the door in front of her opened, and a familiar face appeared in Angelica¡¯s field of vision. Upon seeing the person, Angelica was stunned. All the live stream room viewers were also shocked. ¡°Why is it him?!¡± Angelica said it in shock. It was because the man in front of her was Dr. Birkin, whom the zombie virus had infected in Zombie Apocalypse IV! Moreover, the infected Dr. Birkin should have been killed in the Laser Hallway. Why would he appear here? Could it be Dr. Birkin didn¡¯t die in the Laser Hallway? [Fuck! Why is Dr. Birkin still alive? And why did he look like a human?] [Wasn¡¯t this guy cut into pieces by the Laser Hallway? Why did he appear again? Could there be a bug in the plot?] [Where¡¯s Su Ping? Why don¡¯t you explain such a big problem?] [Could it be that the current Dr. Birkin and the previous Dr. Birkin in Zombie Apocalypse IV are different? The previous Dr. Birkin that appeared in Zombie Apocalypse IV is probably just a clone!] [That makes sense. As a senior executive of Umbrella Corporation, Dr. Birkin has no reason to put himself in danger! If the previous Dr. Birkin was a clone, then it could explain everything!] Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers had already begun to discuss the identity of the current Dr. Birkin in front of them. Since Su Ping had frequently set up the content of the clone in the previous plot, many viewers naturally associated the current Dr. Birkin in front of them with cloning technology. Angelica also agreed with their prediction. Afterward, in the conversation with Dr. Birkin, Angelica accidentally let it slip. She questioned Dr. Birkin. ¡°Since the antidote can end the disaster, why don¡¯t you use it?¡± ¡°Instead, you let the zombie virus destroy the world?¡± After hearing Angelica¡¯s question, Dr. Birkin immediately became vigilant. ¡°Who told you about the antidote? Who is it?¡± Dr. Birkin grabbed Angelica¡¯s clothes and forced her to reveal the identity of the company¡¯s mole. By this time, Angelica had completely trusted the Red Queen. Obviously, the antidote was a secret of the umbrella company! However, the Red Queen had told Angelica the secret! Of course, Angelica wouldn¡¯t betray her teammates. Although the Red Queen was just an artificial intelligence system, Angelica wasn¡¯t sure if Dr. Birkin had any means to deal with the Red Queen. That was why Angelica chose not to say anything! However, it made Dr. Birkin try every possible way to force Angelica to reveal the identity of the company¡¯s mole. ¡°Since you¡¯re so unwilling to speak, I can only give you a small punishment!¡± Dr. Birkin looked at Angelica with an evil smile, then asked someone to take Angelica out of the car. It was also the first time Angelica saw the situation outside after she woke up. She was indeed locked up in a car by Dr. Birkin, and it was a tank. Countless zombies were behind the vehicle. They were densely packed and queued along the road to a faraway place. Angelica couldn¡¯t even see the end of the queue. [Fuck! What the heck is Dr. Birkin doing? Why did he attract so many zombies here?] [What the heck is going on? What¡¯s Dr. Birkin going to do with the tank?] [Oh my goodness, there are too many zombies¡­ There are at least tens of thousands of them, right?] [Who knows what Dr. Birkin is going to do? He is almost unbeatable with having so many zombies, right?] Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers were also confused by the situation. When they looked at the overwhelming number of zombies behind the tank, they had no idea why Dr. Birkin was doing it. They wondered, ¡°Isn¡¯t Dr. Birkin worried that his vehicle will be caught by the zombies and somersaulted?¡± However, Angelica had the lower hand. Her hands were tied with ropes after being taken out of the car by Dr. Birkin. Afterward, an Umbrella Corporation soldier kicked Angelica out of the car. The other end of the rope was connected to the tank. Angelica¡¯s body rolled a few times on the ground, and then she was pulled up by the rope. After the zombies at the back noticed Angelica, they seemed even more excited, and their speed increased even more. The zombies chased after Angelica with all their might, wanting to bite her. Angelica quickly got up from the ground and ran madly as the rope pulled her. Chapter 144 - 144 Heading to Raccoon City 144 Heading to Raccoon City Meanwhile, the millions of viewers in the live stream room were stunned. Nobody had expected such a thrilling scene to appear in Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter. The rope on the tank was pulling Angelica. To avoid being bitten by the zombies behind her, she could only run desperately. The two guards in the car looked like they were watching a circus. They sat in the car and chatted while watching Angelica suffer. Many of the live stream room viewers couldn¡¯t bear to watch the scene because Angelica looked too tragic. [Fuck! Don¡¯t tell me that Su Ping was just thinking about how to torture the players while making the game?! It¡¯s ridiculous!] [I¡¯ve already brought myself into Angelica¡¯s scenario, and I¡¯m starting to get angry!] [It isn¡¯t a game! It¡¯s just torturing the players!] [Haha! Angelica, I bet you didn¡¯t expect this to come! Su Ping is definitely deliberately torturing you in the game!] [After watching Angelica play today, I suddenly feel like I don¡¯t want to download Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter. I don¡¯t want to be tortured in the game!] The live stream room viewers were enthusiastically ridiculing Angelica¡¯s current situation. However, everyone still hoped that Angelica would be able to turn the tide. Angelica was running to keep up with the speed of the tank in front. Meanwhile, she was also thinking about how to turn the tables. After all, a person¡¯s physical strength was limited. Although Angelica was in a game, the game was extremely realistic. Even with Alice¡¯s physique, Angelica knew that she couldn¡¯t run for too long or she would get tired sooner or later. Once Angelica was tired, she would definitely be slow in running, and the zombies behind her would catch up and bite her. At that time, Angelica would fail the mission! Angelica¡¯s brain was working at full speed. Suddenly, she found that there seemed to be some grooves on both sides of the tank that she could temporarily hide in! A plan had already formed in Angelica¡¯s mind. Afterward, Angelica immediately ran faster and hid under the tank before the guards on the tank noticed her. At this time, the tank guards would definitely be unable to find any trace of Angelica if they looked down from above. Angelica was hiding quietly under the tank. Finally, the two guards on the tank realized that Angelica had disappeared. They immediately went to the back of the tank, wanting to see where Angelica was. It was Angelica¡¯s chance! When the two of them arrived at the back of the tank, Angelica suddenly launched an attack. With a flip, she clamped one of the man¡¯s necks with her feet and threw him out of the tank. The man rolled several times on the ground and was disoriented. Before he could get up from the ground, many zombies chasing the tank had already rushed up and swallowed him up! The man¡¯s creepy, blood-curdling scream came from not far away. However, Angelica didn¡¯t have the energy to care about that person¡¯s life or death. There was still one more person on the tank that she needed to deal with! Fortunately, Angelica had already defeated one of the guards, so she could easily get to the top of the tank and fight another. Angelica¡¯s combat power was very strong. She was so strong that the ordinary soldiers of Umbrella Corporation couldn¡¯t fight against her. Hence, it was as easy as s piece of cake for Angelica to discover the guard¡¯s weakness and kick him out of the tank again! The man¡¯s scream came from the zombie crowd again. At this time, the two guards outside the tank had been killed by Angelica. Angelica had also successfully reached the roof of the tank. She no longer had to run madly on the ground. [Wow! Angelica is so cool! Especially when she hid under the car and flipped the man over from above! That was so cool! Her moves were clean and neat!] [I seriously suspect that Angelica has learned wrestling before. Her movements are no different from those of professional wrestlers!] [Speaking of which, when did Angelica become so powerful? Don¡¯t tell me that games can also teach people wrestling?] [Don¡¯t be too happy yet, Angelica. Dr. Birkin and other people from Umbrella Corporation are still in the car!] [That¡¯s right! The battle isn¡¯t over yet!] Some live stream room viewers were amazed by Angelica¡¯s powerful combat power, but some were well aware of Angelica¡¯s current situation. After all, the two tanks were assets of Umbrella Corporation, and so far, Dr. Birkin hadn¡¯t appeared! Speaking of the devil, just as some live stream room viewers were reminding Angelica that she hadn¡¯t dealt with Dr. Birkin, Dr. Birkin came out of the tank¡¯s cabin. Dr. Birkin seemed to want to kill Angelica himself! The two of them started fighting again on the roof of the tank. Although Dr. Birkin was powerful and much stronger than the ordinary soldiers of Umbrella Corporation¡­ However, Angelica¡¯s current combat power was no longer comparable to ordinary people¡¯s and could not be assumed with common sense. Hence, as expected, Angelica soon controlled Dr. Birkin, using her two arms to strangle Dr. Birkin¡¯s neck. Meanwhile, Angelica¡¯s hands were firmly tied together by a device, and she naturally began asking Dr. Birkin to untie her handcuffs. Dr. Birkin could only do as Angelica told him to prevent himself from being strangled to death. He inserted the key, and Angelica¡¯s hands finally regained freedom. Then Angelica didn¡¯t show the slightest mercy. The moment she let go of Dr. Birkin from her hands, she immediately picked up a machete that fell from the top of the tank and cut down on Dr. Birkin! If Angelica successfully hit Dr. Birkin with the knife, he would be cut to death by Angelica. However, the machine gun on the other tank suddenly fired at this critical moment. The sudden attack caused the machete in Angelica¡¯s hand to deviate from its original trajectory, so it didn¡¯t kill Dr. Birkin and only left a severe wound on his back. Then Angelica grabbed Dr. Birkin¡¯s body and rolled over to the other side of the tank. Meanwhile, there were two tanks on the road side by side. Angelica was hiding outside one of the tanks, so the machine gun on the other tank couldn¡¯t attack her. However, Angelica knew that the situation couldn¡¯t go on. She had to think of a way to leave the place and get to Raccoon City as soon as possible! Suddenly, a platform popped out from the side of the tank, and a stylish motorcycle was on it! Chapter 145 - 145 A Strong Impact 145 A Strong Impact Angelica immediately realized that if she could start the motorcycle, she could escape from the control of the two tanks and get to Raccoon City faster! However, Angelica soon remembered what had happened when Dr. Birkin caught her. It was because the motorcycle could release electricity. [Haha! What a pity to have a motorcycle when you can¡¯t ride it!] [It seems like our host has learned the lesson. She knows she can¡¯t simply sit on any motorcycle in the game!] [I have to say that the setting of the motorcycle discharging electricity is ridiculous. Angelica can only look at it but not ride it!] [So, host, how do you plan to solve the problem? The motorcycle can discharge electricity!] [Angelica only has one choice. She can only reach Raccoon City faster by riding a motorcycle. Otherwise, she can¡¯t make it on time!] Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers were looking forward to Angelica¡¯s choice, but no one knew what she would do. Angelica would definitely have to use the motorcycle. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have enough time. However, Angelica must verify her identity on the motorcycle before using it. Otherwise, if she directly got on the motorcycle, it would release a high-voltage current and directly knock her out. There were thousands of zombies following behind the two tanks. If Angelica had been knocked out by the electric shock and thrown to the ground, she would be dead! The tens of thousands of zombies behind Angelica would eat her up! Meanwhile, Angelica was controlling Dr. Birkin while quickly thinking about how to unlock the motorcycle. At this moment, Angelica suddenly saw that there seemed to be a place on the motorcycle¡¯s control panel where people could enter their fingerprints. Angelica looked at Dr. Birkin, whom she was controlling, and suddenly thought of a perfect solution. Angelica immediately raised the machete and swung! As Dr. Birkin let out a scream, Angelica used the machete she had just picked up from the top of the tank and directly cut off one of Dr. Birkin¡¯s hands! Afterward, Angelica pushed Dr. Birkin away. She picked up the broken hand and pressed the finger on the motorcycle¡¯s fingerprint panel. Sure enough, the motorcycle was successfully unlocked! Since Dr. Birkin was an executive and had high authority at Umbrella Corporation, it wasn¡¯t a problem for him to use a motorcycle. Following that, Angelica straddled the motorcycle and turned the handles. This time, the motorcycle didn¡¯t release any electric shocks. Angelica throttled the motorcycle, and it shot out like an arrow from a bow. Angelica rushed away on the motorcycle. The motorcycle was moving much faster than a tank. Hence, Angelica could reach Raccoon City faster than Dr. Birkin with the motorcycle. Afterward, she could obtain the antidote and save the world! The scene of Angelica cutting off Dr. Birkin¡¯s hand shocked the millions of viewers in the live stream room. Nobody expected Angelica to be so decisive. Moreover, the previous scene was too gory. Many live stream room viewers even felt a faint pain in their wrists because they were scared by Dr. Birkin¡¯s experience. [Oh my goodness! Angelica is so decisive now. She¡¯s different from the Angelica I used to know!] [Although Angelica was cool with her actions just now, I¡¯m starting to be afraid of her!] [What¡¯s the point of being afraid? It¡¯s just a game, anyway. Angelica can¡¯t do such a thing in reality, alright!] [It¡¯s hard to say. I think Angelica should play fewer games of this genre in the future. There are too many violent scenes!] [Suddenly, I pity Dr. Birkin. His hands were abruptly chopped in such a way!] [I don¡¯t care. As long as Angelica can finish the game successfully, it doesn¡¯t matter what she does!] The live stream room viewers also began to discuss Angelica¡¯s previous actions. Many viewers with gentle personalities were shocked by the scene. After all, Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter was an immersive virtual game. If a person frequently played the game, it would affect their daily habits and behavior. Therefore, some people were worried that Angelica would be affected by the game and change her personality. However, at this time, Angelica had no time to interact with the viewers. In fact, after she started playing Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter, she didn¡¯t speak much to the viewers. After all, the game created a countdown to finish the game for the players. Once the countdown ended before the player got the antidote, they would fail the game! Hence, Angelica felt the game was a race against time. She couldn¡¯t afford to waste a single second! Angelica felt she had to complete the game as quickly as possible! Angelica rode the motorcycle she had obtained from the tank and sped toward Raccoon City. Soon, she arrived at the destroyed city. What came into view was a stretch of ruins and an enormous bottomless pit. Angelica went silent while she looked at the enormous bottomless pit. Meanwhile, shock filled her heart. Other than Angelica, the countless viewers in the live stream room had their eyes wide open while looking at the scene in disbelief. [Fuck! Isn¡¯t it the crater left by the nuclear explosion in Zombie Apocalypse II?] [Oh my goodness! Su Ping even made a crater?! Moreover, Raccoon City did make me feel like it was completely different. I should say that the power of the nuclear bomb is too great!] [It¡¯s hard to imagine how the zombie virus could continue to spread after the nuclear bomb wiped out Raccoon City. It¡¯s ridiculous!] [I have to say that Raccoon City is giving me a strong sense of doomsday. Unbelievable!] [Such a scene is expected of Su Ping¡¯s game. The game is worth the price just because of the scene!] The live stream room viewers were amazed by the nuclear crater in front of them. After all, they wouldn¡¯t be able to see such a scene in reality. The desolation and apocalyptic feeling of a destroyed city would strongly impact the players¡¯ spirits. Especially when they had seen the city in Zombie Apocalypse II, the nuclear bomb hadn¡¯t destroyed Raccoon City back then. People would easily sigh with emotion while feeling everything had changed. However, as soon as Angelica entered Raccoon City, she encountered another trap that sent her flying from her motorcycle. At this moment, Angelica was dumbfounded. She had no idea who had attacked her. It wasn¡¯t until a woman appeared in front of her. ¡°Claire?! Why are you here in Raccoon City?¡± Chapter 146 - 146 Fire! 146 Fire! Angelica didn¡¯t expect that the first person she met in Raccoon City would be her old friend, Claire! Angelica thought her companions and friends from the previous Zombie Apocalypse games had all died in Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter. She didn¡¯t expect to meet Claire when she had just arrived in Raccoon City! Angelica was naturally happy to be able to meet an old friend again in the desolate apocalypse. However, the only thing that surprised and upset Angelica was that Claire had a boyfriend! Her boyfriend¡¯s name was Doug. Although he looked a little handsome, Angelica didn¡¯t know why, but she hated him from the bottom of her heart. Although Doug was just an NPC in the game, Angelica couldn¡¯t control her emotions. Since Claire¡¯s character was too well-rounded, Angelica stopped treating her as an NPC in the game long ago. In Angelica¡¯s heart, Claire was a faithful and lively friend. [Damn it! What does Su Ping mean? Why did he arrange a boyfriend for Claire? My Claire is not pure anymore!] [Boo-hoo! Su Ping, you must have done it on purpose. Claire is such a cute girl. Any man except me can¡¯t defile her!] [I can¡¯t accept it. I can¡¯t accept that Claire is in a relationship! Her boyfriend can only be me!] Many of the viewers couldn¡¯t accept the fact that Claire was in a relationship in Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter. After all, when playing the game, players would always put themselves in the position of others, especially when a character like Claire often appeared in the game. Furthermore, Claire was extremely attractive and naturally loved by many players. There were even communities related to Claire on the internet, all of which were her fans! Everyone was willing to dedicate their feelings to a virtual character in the game and even supported Claire. However, Claire had found herself a boyfriend in the game! How could the players accept it?! Although Angelica hated Doug, the most important thing was to finish the game, so Angelica held back for the time being! However, Claire was the only person Angelica trusted the most among the many survivors. The reason why Angelica was attacked before was that Claire and her fellow survivors thought that Angelica was from the Umbrella Corporation. Now that they had cleared up the misunderstanding, they naturally had to sit down and chat. Angelica chose to tell Claire about the antidote alone in the end. It was because she didn¡¯t trust the other survivors. Although they were all survivors, it was not only zombies that danger them, but humans as well! In addition to the antidote, Angelica told Claire that Dr. Birkin was on his way to Raccoon City. Moreover, Dr. Birkin had attracted many zombies to attack Raccoon City, which would cause much trouble for the survivors¡¯ base. ¡°I think if we want to get the antidote, we must stop Dr. Birkin first!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t let Dr. Birkin and the zombies behind him enter Raccoon City. We have to stop them outside the city. Then, we¡¯ll go to The Hive to get the antidote!¡± Claire suggested it after Angelica told her everything. Angelica also agreed with her. After all, Dr. Birkin had attracted too many zombies. If all of them entered Raccoon City, Angelica might not be able to move freely. Angelica began to prepare with the other survivors to achieve the goal. They had set up all sorts of mechanisms on the tall building in the base. The mechanisms could throw things like gasoline barrels out for attack. Meanwhile, they also set up a mark on Dr. Birkin¡¯s path. After rigorous preparation, everything was ready except for one thing. Everyone only needed to wait for Dr. Birkin¡¯s arrival! Finally, the time in the game sped up, and soon it was night. Dr. Birkin and the countless zombies behind him finally appeared in the vision of Angelica and the others. Meanwhile, Angelica could see the countless zombies behind the two tanks even without using a telescope. Moreover, Angelica was standing on the roof of the building to observe the situation. A massive scene was created when a large number of zombies suddenly appeared in the distance. [Fuck! It¡¯s so exciting! I feel like the blood in my body is starting to boil!] [Me too! The scene is simply too spectacular. I can¡¯t imagine how cool it will be when they fight later!] [All the best, Angelica! Teach that bastard Dr. Birkin a lesson!] [Haha! It should be the best battle in the game. What if Angelica can¡¯t deal with Dr. Birkin¡¯s attack? Will she fail the game?] [I can¡¯t wait to witness the battle with my own eyes!] Meanwhile, the millions of viewers in the live stream room were rubbing their fists and wiping their palms, looking like they were eager to fight. Everyone was eager to see the outcome of the battle. It could no longer be called a ¡°battle¡± but a ¡°war!¡± It was a war between the survivors and tens of thousands of zombies! The winner would continue to live in the apocalyptic world, while the loser would lose everything! The sky was getting darker and darker, but Dr. Birkin¡¯s vehicle was still moving forward, approaching the building where Angelica and the survivors were. Finally, Angelica saw through the telescope that the two tanks of Dr. Birkin¡¯s team had crossed the mark on the ground, so she immediately shouted. ¡°Fire!¡± The next moment, a huge barrel of gasoline was thrown out from the launcher on the roof. The burning gasoline barrel drew a perfect arc in the air and accurately hit one of the tanks! The terrifying flames engulfed the tank, and the driver inside was instantly burned to ashes. The attack had hit perfectly! They had gotten off to a good start since they had taken out one of the two tanks as soon as Dr. Birkin had arrived. Angelica, though, didn¡¯t have a carefree expression. She knew very well that the battle had just begun! As long as Dr. Birkin was alive, the battle would never end! Finally, the game had reached its climax! Chapter 147 - 147 Not Being Discovered by Anyone 147 Not Being Discovered by Anyone Dr. Birkin was still alive, just as Angelica had feared. Dr. Birkin was worthy of being a big villain in Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter. When he saw one of the tanks explode¡­ Dr. Birkin was worried that the tank he was in would also be hit by the gasoline barrel, so he ordered the release of a living human! When the live stream room viewers saw the scene, they immediately knew Dr. Birkin¡¯s plan and began to curse him. [Shit! Is Dr. Birkin even human? How dare he use the woman as bait to force Angelica not to attack him?!] [Dr. Birkin is such a bastard! If someone dares to do something like this in reality, I¡¯ll kill him even if I die!] [Dr. Birkin is so vicious! I¡¯m so angry that my whole body is trembling!] [Fuck! Dr. Birkin must die at the end of this game, or I¡¯ll give this game a bad review!] [That¡¯s right! If Su Ping dares to let an evil character like Dr. Birkin live, I¡¯ll refund the game!] [I support it! I can lose the game, but Dr. Birkin must die!] Meanwhile, countless live stream room viewers were full of righteous indignation, and everyone condemned Dr. Birkin¡¯s inhumane behavior. It could be said that Dr. Birkin¡¯s actions violated the bottom line of the civilized world! However, since it was a game, Dr. Birkin¡¯s actions would naturally not be stopped by anyone. Angelica stood behind the door, watching the poor woman run desperately toward the door to survive. Angelica was clear that it was all a trap set by Dr. Birkin to create an opportunity for the zombies behind the vehicle to get close to the survivors¡¯ base. However, Angelica couldn¡¯t order the survivors to attack the woman! Angelica was just a player, and she lived in a peaceful world in reality. No matter how many games Angelica had played, she would never lose her humanity! ¡°No, I can¡¯t do such a thing. Otherwise, what¡¯s the difference between Dr. Birkin and me?¡± ¡°Even if it¡¯s a trap, I¡¯m willing to fall into it!¡± Angelica shook her head violently, but she didn¡¯t order the survivors to kill the woman in the end. Instead, Angelica opened the base gate, hoping the woman could get in before the zombies! The woman kept moving forward and got closer and closer to the gate of the survivors¡¯ base. At this moment, the light of hope appeared in her eyes. The scene was so moving that the live stream room viewers kept encouraging the woman in the comments, even though she was just an NPC in the game. However, no one was treating the woman as a string of data. Everyone¡¯s hands were clenched into fists as they stared nervously at the screen in front of them. [Just a little faster, just a little quicker, and she¡¯ll be able to survive!] [Good luck, young lady! You can do it!] [Please don¡¯t be killed by Dr. Birkin! Don¡¯t get caught by the zombies! Just rush through the door, and you¡¯ll be safe!] The viewers kept praying in their hearts, and finally, the woman was getting closer and closer to the gate. When everyone saw the woman was about to succeed and was about to enter the base and survive successfully¡­ Suddenly, everyone heard a gunshot coming from not far away, and blood burst out from the woman¡¯s body. The next moment, the woman had already fallen to the ground, losing all signs of life. A large amount of blood flowed out of her body. The woman died, and Dr. Birkin used the tank to kill her! Although Angelica had already expected the outcome, she couldn¡¯t help but tremble in anger when she saw it with her own eyes. The millions of viewers in the live stream room were the same. Everyone could accept the deaths of game characters, but the way she died was unacceptable! [Dr. Birkin! You must die today!] [All the best, host. If you can¡¯t kill Dr. Birkin today, I¡¯ll unsubscribe you!] [Angelica, you can definitely kill Dr. Birkin with your abilities! Even if you lose the game, you must kill Dr. Birkin!] [You can lose the game, but Dr. Birkin must die!] [Dr. Birkin has to take responsibility for the deaths of countless people in this game!] Meanwhile, most viewers were urging Angelica to find a way to kill Dr. Birkin. Even if the viewers didn¡¯t remind Angelica, she would have done the same! Angelica looked at the tank in the distance as if she could see Dr. Birkin proudly showing off his strength to her. Angelica was angry that there seemed to be a fire in her eyes that was about to burst out. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If I don¡¯t kill Dr. Birkin today, don¡¯t call me Angelica!¡± ¡°Just wait and see. I¡¯ll definitely make Dr. Birkin pay for his actions!¡± Angelica said as she gritted her teeth. Finally, her words appeased the live stream room viewers, and everyone calmed down a little for the time being. Meanwhile, since Angelica had asked someone to open the base¡¯s gate, Dr. Birkin took advantage of the opportunity to use the tank and launch a missile. It immediately blew up the base¡¯s gate. At this moment, Angelica and the others could no longer close the gate. Previously, countless zombies had approached the gate when they wanted to let the woman live. Following the launch of the missile, a large number of zombies began to rush into the base. When facing such a large number of zombies, it was impossible for Angelica to resist them outside, so she could only retreat with her people temporarily. Afterward, a man on the roof pushed down a large rock that he had prepared in advance and killed many zombies. However, the attack was like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. It was impossible for the man to use only a rock to kill all the zombies. The zombies were rushing into the building, and Angelica continued to retreat. In the end, Angelica temporarily retreated to the center of the building. ¡°Pour all the gasoline down. We¡¯ll burn all these zombies to death!¡± Angelica ordered again. She decided to burn the zombies to death. Soon, the people on the roof began to pour a large amount of gasoline from the top. Since the zombies didn¡¯t know the danger of gasoline, they were still crazily drilling into the building. After determining that the majority of the zombies had entered the building, Angelica gave the order to light the gasoline. The huge fire blazed from the top of the building along with the gasoline. The building¡¯s countless zombies were instantly set on fire, and a sea of flames devoured the entire building. They finally stopped the zombies¡¯ attack! However, Angelica would naturally not be satisfied with such a result. Angelica still remembered her promise to the live stream room viewers. She must kill Dr. Birkin and avenge all the people who died in the disaster! Therefore, Angelica jumped down from the roof, grabbed a rope in the air, and quickly slid to the tank on the ground! Angelica did it without being discovered by anyone! Chapter 148 - 148 The Familiar Sounds 148 The Familiar Sounds Angelica came to the side of the tank. However, due to the chaotic scene, even Dr. Birkin didn¡¯t know Angelica had quietly approached the tank. It just so happened that there was a gasoline can that Angelica and her men had prepared earlier beside the road, so Angelica poured all the gasoline into the tank. Afterward, Angelica lit the gasoline on fire! The drivers and soldiers in the tanks were naturally all forced out of the tanks. Angelica had been waiting outside for a long time. If she saw anyone raise their head from the tanks, she would immediately kill them. Soon, Angelica had killed a few Umbrella Corporation soldiers. However, the last man who came out of the tank was very agile, and the soldiers Angelica had killed earlier had already warned him of the danger outside. Therefore, the man successfully dodged Angelica¡¯s attack and wasn¡¯t killed. Angelica didn¡¯t know who the man was. ¡°This guy should be the NPC who appeared for the first time in this game. Unfortunately, I¡¯m going to kill him soon!¡± As if passing judgment on the man¡¯s demise, Angelica spoke indifferently. Then, Angelica and the man began to fight. As many zombies had already rushed to the survivor base, their battle wasn¡¯t disturbed by them. Although the man was very strong and way more robust than the ordinary soldiers of the Umbrella Corporation, he was still no match for the battle-hardened Angelica! Finally, after a battle, Angelica knocked the man to the ground. She quickly found a gun that had fallen to the side, aimed it at the man, and pulled the trigger. The man was knocked directly to the ground with a bang. However, the attack wasn¡¯t fatal, and the man was still alive. When the countless viewers in the live stream room thought Angelica would walk over and give the man another shot, she made an unexpected move. Angelica said indifferently. ¡°If I just kill him like this, it¡¯s too easy. Since this guy and Dr. Birkin like to tie people to the back of the tank and torture them, I¡¯ll let him experience it today.¡± ¡°He can also assist me in driving away the zombies in the city. Let¡¯s consider it as his last contribution!¡± After hearing it, some quick-witted viewers already realized what Angelica would do. However, no one expected that Angelica would be so evil! Angelica tied the man¡¯s hands with a rope, then tied the other end to the back of the tank. Then, Angelica entered the tank and started it. Furthermore, Angelica had already adjusted the route in advance. The tank would be heading out of the city! The man was still alive, so his breath would naturally draw all the zombies in the city away! Soon, the tank began to move, and the man was forced to get up. Since his hands were tied up, he could only run for his life. Meanwhile, some zombies had already discovered the man¡¯s existence and started to run over from the dark corners of the street to chase him. The live stream room viewers were dumbfounded when they saw the scene. [Oh my goodness! The idea that Angelica came up with is too cruel. I¡¯m afraid this guy will regret being born into this world!] [Haha! What¡¯s so cruel about that? It¡¯s called giving them a taste of their own medicine. These bastards deserve it!] [That¡¯s right! It¡¯s a pity that Angelica only punished a small fry. It will be even more satisfying if Dr. Birkin can enjoy the feeling of running for his life!] [No matter what, Angelica has completed a part of her goal. Forget about unsubscribing, but we can¡¯t let Dr. Birkin go!] [Host, come on! Kill Dr. Birkin! No matter whether you¡¯ve successfully cleared the game, you¡¯ve already won in everyone¡¯s hearts!] The live stream room viewers encouraged Angelica to continue her journey! Angelica had settled the two tanks and let the man draw away the remaining zombies in the city. Afterward, she finally returned to the survivor¡¯s base. Meanwhile, the base suffered heavy losses after a huge battle. Many people had been bitten to death by zombies in the previous battle. However, now wasn¡¯t the time to rest. Angelica looked at the countdown on her hand and realized she didn¡¯t have much time to rest. ¡°We must head to The Hive immediately. Otherwise, all humans in the world will be annihilated!¡± Angelica gathered all the remaining survivors and announced her plan to enter The Hive. Since everyone had just experienced a huge battle, Angelica had helped them win the war as the commander¡­ Angelica rose to great prominence among the survivors at the base, and the remaining survivors naturally agreed with her viewpoints. Hence, everyone agreed to go to The Hive with her! Angelica was very touched to see so many survivors willing to support her. Although they were all NPCs in the game, in Angelica¡¯s heart, they were all living people and heroes willing to sacrifice their lives to save the world! ¡°Alright, let¡¯s set off to The Hive!¡± After Angelica announced her decision, everyone packed up their equipment and set off quickly toward the nuclear crater. The Hive was the source of the infection in Zombie Apocalypse II. Therefore, it makes sense that The Hive would be the focal point of the attack when Umbrella Corporation decided to destroy Raccoon City back then. However, it seemed that the nuclear bomb didn¡¯t destroy The Hive because it was underground. Perhaps it was one of the crucial reasons why the zombie virus could still spread worldwide. Everyone came to the edge of the nuclear crater and looked at the spectacular scene in front of them. Meanwhile, Angelica felt extremely emotional. Then, everyone followed the edge of the nuclear crater and entered it, moving toward the underground laboratory. However, as Angelica ran, she suddenly stopped. ¡°I seem to have heard some sounds!¡± Angelica motioned for everyone to stop for a while, and she focused on listening to the sounds around her. The moment Angelica heard some familiar sounds, her expression changed as she realized the owner of the sounds. ¡°Damn! Everyone, run! Run towards the underground laboratory!¡± As soon as Angelica finished speaking, a group of zombie dogs appeared in their field of vision. Chapter 149 - 149 The Truth of the Disaster 149 The Truth of the Disaster Since they were suddenly chased by the zombie dogs, Angelica and her companions had to speed up and move toward The Hive. Even though Angelica and the rest had reacted quickly enough, there were too many zombie dogs. The zombie dogs seemed to have received some kind of order in advance. From the very beginning, they surrounded and attacked Angelica and the others. Angelica and her companions fought as they ran, and more and more zombie dogs joined the pursuit. It led to casualties in the team, but Angelica couldn¡¯t provide more help to her companions in such a situation. It was because everyone was at risk, and they could only try their best to run faster and catch up with the team and enter the underground laboratory before the zombie dogs caught up with them. Angelica didn¡¯t know how far she had run, and their numbers became smaller and smaller as the team ran. Fortunately, The Hive was in the middle of the nuclear crater, and it didn¡¯t take long for Angelica to see the passage to enter The Hive. ¡°Everyone, just hold on a little longer. We¡¯re about to reach the entrance to the underground laboratory!¡± Angelica said it loudly. Her words boosted everyone¡¯s morale, so they could continue moving towards the underground laboratory. Finally, Angelica and the rest of her teammates successfully entered the giant pipe. They could enter The Hive through the pipe. Just as Angelica turned around and was about to fight the zombie dogs with her companions in the pipe, she realized that the zombie dogs had stopped chasing them. It was as if there was some terrifying creature in the pipe that made the brutal zombie dogs choose not to pursue them. The live stream room viewers were also confused by the scene. [What¡¯s happening? Why did all the zombie dogs stop? Why don¡¯t they dare to come in?] [Is there something terrifying in the underground laboratory?] [That shouldn¡¯t be the case. The underground laboratory should have been abandoned for a long time, and when Angelica escaped from there, she killed the Lickers inside. There shouldn¡¯t be anything inside, right?] [Maybe there is a new boss. After all, this place was attacked by a nuclear bomb. Maybe there are still surviving zombies here, but they mutated after being exposed to nuclear radiation!] [This explanation is more reasonable. It should be related to the nuclear attack!] [It looks like something terrifying is waiting for Angelica. I wonder if Angelica can clear the game with one life this time!] Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers were guessing what the zombie dogs feared. After all, in the entire Zombie Apocalypse series, the zombie dogs have always had a brutal and terrifying existence. It was the first time the viewers saw the zombie dogs to be fear of something. It was a scarce situation, and it was also difficult to explain. Angelica looked at the zombie dogs at the pipe entrance and fell silent. However, Angelica still had to enter the laboratory. No matter what, she had to clear the game successfully! Otherwise, all her previous efforts would have been in vain! Afterward, Angelica and the other survivors entered the laboratory before them and walked deeper into the pipeline. At this moment, the walls on both sides of the pipe suddenly began to close toward the center. Obviously, it was a mechanism. Moreover, there were a lot of dents on the wall. If someone were slow and couldn¡¯t run out of here before the wall closed, the wall would squeeze them into meat paste! As the mechanism slowly activated, Angelica and her companions started running toward the end of the tunnel. However, a survivor who had been bitten by a zombie dog and turned into a zombie suddenly grabbed Angelica¡¯s body as she ran. Meanwhile, the walls on both sides were still closing quickly, and there wasn¡¯t much time left for Angelica. [Fuck! Why did this zombie appear at such a coincidental time? We didn¡¯t see any zombies around just now. Why did it appear now?!] [On purpose! Su Ping must have arranged the zombie on purpose again!] [Su Ping is so mean. He¡¯s making things difficult for us players!] [Angelica, run for your life! When the wall closes, you¡¯re dead!] The millions of viewers in the live stream room urged Angelica to speed up and ignore the zombie behind her. Of course, Angelica also knew that she was in a hazardous situation, so she fought the zombie with all her might. Finally, just as the wall was about to close completely, Angelica pushed away the zombie behind her and came out through the gap. Meanwhile, the zombie still in the middle of the wall had lost its chance to survive, and Angelica only heard a creepy sound. Then, blood flowed out of the closed walls. It was obvious that the zombie had been crushed into meat paste. It was a bloody scene, but fortunately, the dead thing was a zombie, so neither the players nor Angelica had any physical discomfort. After all, it was an enemy and a disgusting zombie that died. Hence, there was nothing for them to feel bad about. Angelica and the rest of the survivors had already entered the tunnel¡¯s depths. Meanwhile, Angelica suddenly found a metal platform in front of them. After she walked over and activated it, she realized it was a holographic projection device. Afterward, the Red Queen¡¯s figure appeared in front of Angelica. Although Angelica was a little surprised, she wasn¡¯t particularly excited. After all, it was just a game. The Red Queen acted as a guide, directing the players in advancing the new plot. With the appearance of the Red Queen, she began to tell Angelica more about the background information of the game. At this moment, Angelica finally understood why the zombie crisis had broken out. It turned out that everything wasn¡¯t an accident. It wasn¡¯t an accidental virus leak but a premeditated purification! The purification affected the entire world and killed billions of people! Therefore, the disaster was completely artificial! It had nothing to do with an accident. The information shocked Angelica and the millions of viewers in the live stream room. Nobody expected that things would turn around. Chapter 150 - 150 Su Ping Found His Conscience? 150 Su Ping Found His Conscience? The Red Queen¡¯s information indicated that Dr. Birkin¡¯s goals had grown after taking over the company. From Dr. Birkin¡¯s point of view, there were violent conflicts and even wars between different countries due to the large population in the world. Moreover, the gradual development of human technology led to various problems, such as environmental pollution and a population explosion. Hence, the world could no longer bear the burden of human development. If the situation continued, the entire world¡¯s resources would be completely depleted. At that time, various problems would erupt and might destroy the earth. The catastrophe would also destroy human civilization. Hence, Dr. Birkin thought, ¡°So, why not I do something?¡± ¡°Why did I have to watch all this happen?¡± ¡°Why should I allow the world to be destroyed?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it better for Umbrella Corporation to do something and start an apocalyptic purification?¡± ¡°At that time, the zombie virus will invade the entire world and bring about a new rebirth for human civilization.¡± ¡°Umbrella Corporation¡¯s top executives can enter the dormant underground device beforehand and wait for the world to be purified before establishing a new civilization.¡± ¡°At that time, Umbrella Corporation will control the entire world!¡± It was the reason for everything that happened later. The virus leakage in The Hive was intentional. After getting the information, Angelica and the millions of live stream room viewers didn¡¯t know how to express their thoughts. It was because everything was simply too ridiculous. Everyone thought, ¡°Umbrella Corporation wants to destroy the world just because of problems like environmental pollution and population explosion?¡± ¡°But now, the entire world¡¯s humans are on the verge of extinction. Even if Umbrella Corporation¡¯s top executives survive, what can they do?¡± However, it was only a setting in the game. Hence, Angelica chose to accept the Red Queen¡¯s explanation. However, the live stream room viewers couldn¡¯t help but start discussing the game¡¯s plot with others. [Isn¡¯t it too outrageous? It can consider that Dr. Birkin¡¯s decision alone destroyed the world?] [Speaking of which, what does Umbrella Corporation do? How can they do such things behind every country¡¯s back? Can¡¯t anyone do something about it?] [At first, I thought Dr. Birkin was evil enough, but now I realize I didn¡¯t know him well enough. He¡¯s not bad. He¡¯s a demon!] [That¡¯s right! If a person like Dr. Birkin exists in reality, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be too much to shoot him for a year. Moreover, we can¡¯t kill him in every shoot because we have to let him suffer forever!] Meanwhile, the Red Queen continued to provide more information to Angelica. As the most powerful artificial intelligence at Umbrella Corporation, the Red Queen knew many of the company¡¯s secrets. The Red Queen handed Angelica a pair of earphones and told her there was a mole from the Umbrella Corporation among them. Angelica was shocked when she heard the news. She thought, ¡°There is a mole among the survivors?¡± However, Angelica didn¡¯t show her surprise. Otherwise, she might alert the enemy. As for who the mole was, Angelica believed that she would be able to find him sooner or later! Then, the Red Queen explained why she had chosen Angelica to save humankind. The Red Queen also explained why she didn¡¯t stop Umbrella Corporation herself and why she didn¡¯t stop Dr. Birkin from doing all these things that would destroy humankind. It turned out that inventing the Red Queen as an artificial intelligence program was intended to protect Umbrella Corporation¡¯s and its employees¡¯ safety. It was why, even if Dr. Birkin¡¯s actions threatened the safety of humankind, the Red Queen couldn¡¯t do anything to him. It led to an internal conflict in the Red Queen¡¯s program. In the end, the Red Queen could only pin her hopes on Angelica since she had no other way to solve the problem. The Red Queen hoped that Angelica could kill Dr. Birkin in her place and get the antidote to save the remaining survivors. After the Red Queen told Angelica all the information, she could finally move on with the team. They would continue to venture deeper into The Hive to search for the antidote. Soon after they continued forward, a huge fan appeared in front of them. It was only then that Angelica realized that she and her teammates were actually in the air vent of the underground laboratory. It was just because the vent was too big and made them believe that it was a passage that could lead them into the laboratory. Meanwhile, the fan was still in a static state. Although the fan blades were very sharp, they were relatively safe when nobody turned on the fan. [There¡¯s something wrong with the fan. What do you think will happen if the fan suddenly turns on when they are passing through?] [Wow, man! Don¡¯t scare me. The blades of the fan are so sharp. If it suddenly turns on, I¡¯m afraid the person inside will be cut into pieces!] [The fan is indeed hazardous, but it is the only way to get into The Hive. Angelica has no other choice but to go in!] [That¡¯s right! Even if it¡¯s a trap, it¡¯s a trap that everyone knows. Angelica has to get through with her teammates!] The viewers watched Angelica¡¯s game as they discussed her current situation. Angelica knew that she had to pass through the fan in the game. Therefore, Angelica gathered her courage and began calling her teammates to pass through the fan one by one. As they passed through the fan, everyone was on tenterhooks, afraid that the fan would suddenly start running. As long as the fan started to move, anyone who hadn¡¯t passed through it would definitely die. There was no possibility of survival. Fortunately, the fan had been quietly turned off from the beginning to the end as if it had no intention of running. The situation made Angelica and the rest of her teammates feel a little relieved. After a while, everyone passed through the fan safely. The scene stunned everyone in the live stream room. Everyone¡¯s eyes were wide open as they looked at everything in disbelief. [What¡¯s going on? Why didn¡¯t the fan start spinning?] [Is there a bug in the game? With Su Ping¡¯s personality, how could he let Angelica and her other teammates pass through so easily?] [It doesn¡¯t make any sense. Logically speaking, this is definitely a trap. The fan should have killed at least one of Angelica¡¯s teammates. Come on, fan, move!] [Su Ping, there¡¯s a problem with your game! Hurry up and come to take a look!] Angelica never expected the live stream room viewers to say something like that! Chapter 151 - 151 The Meat Grinder 151 The Meat Grinder When Angelica saw the comments in the live stream room, she growled. ¡°What are you guys talking about? How can you do this!¡± ¡°Why will the fan suddenly start spinning? Su Ping is not as bad as you think!¡± ¡°Maybe Su Ping just made this fan to scare people. He never planned to turn it into a trap!¡± Meanwhile, Angelica, who had successfully gone through the fan, began criticizing the viewers. However, the live stream room viewers were quite disapproving of her words. They still believed that Angelica was lucky this time and that Su Ping was still the same guy with a repulsive addiction! Meanwhile, Angelica and her teammates had already passed through the fan and were ready to continue into the laboratory. However, a terrifying scene happened just as they were about to move on. The fan they had just passed through began to spin slowly, and its spin was getting faster and faster. Meanwhile, Angelica felt glad and said. ¡°Phew! Luckily, we passed through the fan in advance. Hehe! The fan seems to be spinning a little too late!¡± Just as Angelica was feeling smug, some of the viewers in the live stream noticed a problem as the fan started spinning faster and faster. Someone immediately pointed it out. [Wait, there is a problem in the direction of the fan¡¯s rotation!] [When Angelica passed through the fan, I paid special attention to the angle of the fan blades¡¯ rotation. If it is clockwise, it should bring air inside, but the fan seems to be rotating counterclockwise!] [It means the fan is pumping air out of the laboratory!] [The location Angelica and the survivors are in will cause them to be sucked into the fan!] As soon as such comments appeared, they immediately attracted countless viewers¡¯ attention. Everyone stared intently at the screen before them, wanting to see if the viewer¡¯s statement was true. They wanted to know whether the fan was rotating in the opposite direction. Slowly, as the fan spun faster and faster, Angelica also noticed that something was wrong. It was because Angelica could feel a strong suction from her back, and the suction force was getting stronger and stronger! If the situation continued, Angelica knew she might be unable to stand still and would be sucked into the fan. Afterward, the sharp fan blades would cut her into pieces! [Fuck! The fan is really a trap. It first lets players in and then sucks them in to cut them into pieces?] [Wow, Su Ping! How can you design such a disgusting stage?] [Damn! If the fan sucks someone in, they will probably be cut into pieces in less than a second, right? It¡¯s so terrifying!] [I knew there was something wrong with the fan. Angelica didn¡¯t believe what we said, but now we¡¯ve proven her wrong!] At this time, the live stream room viewers began teasing Angelica for being smug. Not long ago, Angelica had been protecting Su Ping. But now, she was in danger. The fan was spinning faster and faster, and finally, Angelica and her teammates were forced to find something to hold onto to stabilize themselves. Unfortunately, the interior of the ventilation pipe was very smooth, and there was nothing for them to hold onto. Ultimately, it led everyone to gather together. It was because there was only a sinkhole on the ground for people to grab. However, there would always be people who weren¡¯t in a particularly safe situation in this way. Meanwhile, a female teammate at the back was already floating in the air. She desperately grabbed a companion in front of her to prevent herself from being sucked in by the fan. However, the fan seemed determined to suck a person in and had no intention of stopping. The female teammate¡¯s physical strength was gradually depleting, and she started to lose her grip on her companion. Finally, after holding on for a few minutes, the female teammate¡¯s hand suddenly slipped, and the fan instantly sucked in her entire body. The scene made countless live stream room viewers subconsciously close their eyes because they could all imagine how bloody the scene would be. As the scream came to an abrupt end, everyone felt their blood run cold. However, it was also because of the sacrifice of the female teammate that the fan began to slow down gradually and soon stopped. At this moment, someone noticed that a large amount of blood had started to flow down from the top of the fan. It was obvious that the blood belonged to the female teammate! [Fuck! It¡¯s so bloody! That female teammate died so tragically!] [I don¡¯t even know the name of that female teammate, and now she¡¯s gone. Su Ping is too cruel!] [Poor female teammate¡­ She should be one of the most tragic characters in the Zombie Apocalypse series, right?] [She didn¡¯t get to die with a complete corpse¡­ This¡­] The live stream room viewers lost words because the previous scene was too bloody and scary. When they thought of a person being sucked into a rapidly spinning fan and cut into pieces, they couldn¡¯t help but have goosebumps. Angelica¡¯s eyes were also filled with fear. She had played many horror games, but it was the first time she had seen such a bloody scene. After a long while, Angelica finally calmed down. ¡°Phew, we still have to keep moving forward no matter what! Even though we¡¯ve just suffered another loss, if we stop now, all our efforts will have been for nothing!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s continue forward!¡± Angelica took a deep breath and used her words to boost the morale of the remaining survivors. Then, the team continued to move forward since they had no way out. It was because there were still many zombie dogs guarding the pipe, so they had to keep moving forward. They could only have a chance to survive by finding the antidote! Soon, they entered a narrow ventilation pipe. As long as they pass through this part of the pipe, they should be able to enter The Hive! As the pipes were too narrow, they could only crawl through them. However, at this moment, a new accident happened. Everyone had been crawling, but the pipe suddenly flipped in all directions, causing the entire team to be divided into several groups. Angelica also felt her body falling, and then she fell into an extremely eerie dark room. Chapter 152 - 152 Back to the Laser Hallway 152 Back to the Laser Hallway The room was huge, and Angelica soon realized that another teammate had fallen into the same room as her. However, an extremely ferocious biochemical monster appeared before the two could communicate. The man who had survived with Angelica didn¡¯t have time to resist before the biochemical monster killed him with a single slap. At this moment, Angelica was the only one left, and the biochemical monster immediately locked its target on her. Angelica only had a dagger and no other weapons with her, so the dagger wouldn¡¯t threaten the huge biochemical monster. The monster¡¯s strength was terrifying, and Angelica was no match for it at all. Therefore, Angelica could only run for her life in the room. She was hoping to find an opportunity to kill the biochemical monster. The two of them chased each other inside the room. Soon, Angelica began to slow down as her physical strength began to run out. If the situation continued, Angelica would definitely die. However, at this moment, the biochemical monster that was chasing Angelica was suddenly chained up. Only then did Angelica notice that a chain was wrapping the biochemical monster. It seemed that the chain was used to control the monster. The chain had a certain length, and in the pursuit process, Angelica had run out of the monster¡¯s range of activity, so the biochemical monster was controlled by the chain. The biochemical monster roared at Angelica, but no matter how it struggled and tried to kill the human in front of it, it was to no avail. Of course, Angelica wouldn¡¯t let go of such a good opportunity that appeared in front of her. Angelica took out a dagger and stabbed the monster¡¯s brain, turning it into meat paste. If one¡¯s brain were fatally injured, even a biochemical monster with a huge body and terrifying strength would die. Angelica sat on the ground, panting heavily. After surviving a disaster, she needed to rest and recover her strength. At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from behind Angelica, and she subconsciously picked up the dagger in her hand, ready to attack. However, when Angelica turned around, she found that it was Doug. Hence, Angelica put away the weapon in her hand, and the two continued to move forward together. [Eh? Why is Doug still alive? It¡¯s The Hive, and we don¡¯t know how many other biochemical monsters are here. How did this guy survive?] [Maybe he was just lucky? Maybe he didn¡¯t meet any biochemical monsters, so nothing attacked him.] [I seriously suspect that there¡¯s something wrong with Doug. Did you guys forget? The Red Queen just told Angelica that the team has a traitor!] [No way. Doug is Claire¡¯s boyfriend. Claire can¡¯t have such bad taste, right?] Seeing that Doug had survived, the live stream viewers began discussing his survival. At this moment, some people began to suspect that Doug might be the mole of Umbrella Corporation that the Red Queen had mentioned! However, Angelica didn¡¯t show any suspicion toward Doug in the game, and the two continued to move forward. Meanwhile, Angelica suddenly came to a large door. The door was covered in dust and had completely blocked the view behind it. Angelica suddenly felt that the door in front of her seemed familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before. Hence, Angelica walked up and used her hands to clean the dust off the door. Then, through the door, she saw the scene on the other side of the door. It was a clean, transparent hallway covered with fluorescent lights. Looking at the scene, memories of the past suddenly surged into Angelica¡¯s mind. Angelica recalled everything that had happened here while playing Zombie Apocalypse I. Angelica recalled the scene where her teammates were cut to death by laser beams, and the Special Forces Captain was completely cut into pieces by the web-like laser beams. It was the Laser Hallway that appeared in Zombie Apocalypse I! When Angelica found that she had returned to the Laser Hallway, she couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Although she was a player, only a few months had passed in the real world. However, if one were to calculate the time in the game, it would have been several years since the crisis broke out. The world in the game had changed a lot and had turned into ruins. Seeing the Laser Hallway in front of them, the millions of live stream room viewers began commenting and reminiscing. After all, the Laser Hallway that appeared in Zombie Apocalypse I could be considered to leave a deep impression in countless players¡¯ hearts. It was impossible to erase it from everyone¡¯s memory. [Oh my goodness! It¡¯s the Laser Hallway! The dead memories suddenly started attacking me!] [I didn¡¯t expect we would return to this place after playing so many games in the Zombie Apocalypse series. Sigh, it¡¯s a pity that the outside world has long been destroyed!] [I suddenly feel emotional. Although years have passed in the game, the Laser Hallway doesn¡¯t seem to have a speck of dust!] [I didn¡¯t expect the Zombie Apocalypse series to end so quickly. Sigh, I hope that this series will release a few more games!] [That¡¯s right! I suddenly feel it¡¯s a pity that the game will end soon!] Angelica also saw some of the comments and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that the game ended like this, but as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end.¡± ¡°There won¡¯t be a game that can be released forever.¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s worth returning to The Hive and these familiar places in Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter!¡± Angelica¡¯s words were acknowledged by many of the viewers. Humans were always emotional creatures. It was especially true when it came to feelings. Even though feelings were pointless, they had the power to influence others quickly. The players would still reminisce even in a horror-themed game like the Zombie Apocalypse series. Angelica looked at the Laser Hallway on the other side of the door, then slowly reached out to open it. Afterward, she sensed an old smell that had been passed down for several years. At this moment, Angelica even felt that she had transmigrated. She wasn¡¯t playing Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter but was back to playing Zombie Apocalypse I. She was back in the Laser Hallway that brought her fear! Chapter 153 - 153 The Donor Dr. Birkin 153 The Donor Dr. Birkin After passing through the Laser Hallway, Angelica saw the control room again. It was the place where the Special Forces had arrived in Zombie Apocalypse I. It was just that no one knew at the time that the huge underground laboratory beneath their feet hid an even bigger secret. They had entered the Laser Hallway through the control room then, and the lasers had killed a few. Angelica relied on her memory and quickly found some weapons left behind by the Special Forces in the corner of the control room. After all, a few Special Forces had been killed in the Laser Hallway, so they didn¡¯t use all the weapons they had brought. Hence, there were still some weapons left there. Angelica began to pick out weapons from the weapon bag and even threw a machine gun at Doug. However, Angelica secretly did something while she was doing it. Even the viewers noticed a problem with Doug, so how could Angelica, an experienced veteran, not notice? Afterward, Angelica turned on the computer in the control room and started the program. It was all that the Red Queen had told Angelica. Following the Red Queen¡¯s instructions, the control room began slowly descending. Soon, the control room went deeper into the laboratory. It was a huge space where it stored all the hibernation pods of Umbrella Corporation¡¯s top executives. These higher-ups entered hibernation through the hibernation pods and waited for the outside world to be purified before coming out and taking over the world. Of course, Angelica couldn¡¯t let these murderers who destroyed the world live, so while the control room was descending, she also began to install bombs. Previously, there were many pieces of equipment and bombs left in the weapon bag in the control room. Finally, the control room reached the bottom, and Angelica saw Dr. Birkin in perfect condition. Seeing the scene, Angelica and the live stream room viewers were shocked. Why would Dr. Birkin appear here? Wasn¡¯t this guy outside the underground laboratory? Angelica had cut off one of Dr. Birkin¡¯s hands in the tank, but why was Dr. Birkin here intact? At this moment, a word suddenly appeared in everyone¡¯s mind. Cloning! [Could it be that Dr. Birkin outside is also a clone? Is this the real Dr. Birkin?] [How is that possible? How many clones does Dr. Birkin have? There was a clone in Zombie Apocalypse IV, and now the one outside is also a clone?] [Oh my goodness! I¡¯m starting to feel a little dizzy. How many more clones does Dr. Birkin have? Which one is the donor Dr. Birkin?] [This should be the donor, right? After all, he¡¯s the only one who directly appeared in Umbrella Corporation¡¯s headquarters!] [This guy must have the antidote with him. Angelica, hurry up and snatch it from him, then release it to the outside world to clear the game!] The viewers began to guess the true identity of Dr. Birkin in front of them. In the end, everyone agreed that Dr. Birkin in front of them was probably the donor Dr. Birkin. Now, there were three Dr. Birkins in the game. The first one was dead, and the second was attracting zombies outside. Then the third one should be the donor, Dr. Birkin. Angelica wanted to step forward to control Dr. Birkin, but she didn¡¯t expect Dr. Birkin to take out a green device from his arms suddenly. Upon seeing the device, Angelica immediately stopped her actions. It was the antidote that the Red Queen had told her about! However, Angelica was now a few hundred meters underground, at the bottom of The Hive! If Dr. Birkin broke the antidote here, it wouldn¡¯t be able to spread to the outside world. They couldn¡¯t eliminate the zombies outside, and the remaining survivors would still die. Therefore, Angelica had to calm Dr. Birkin down temporarily. Afterward, she had to find an opportunity to snatch the antidote and release it to the outside world! Dr. Birkin held the antidote and now had the absolute upper hand. He was fearless, even when facing Angelica. [What should we do? The situation can be considered unsolvable, right?] [That¡¯s right! Dr. Birkin is too cunning. He chose this place to meet Angelica to make her didn¡¯t dare to do anything to him!] [This place is too deep underground. If the antidote is broken, it will be useless!] [What should Angelica do now? Is the game going to fail at this point?] [I feel that it will be the last stage of the game. Angelica, hurry up and think of what to do. It will be a pity if you fail at the last step!] The viewers were worried about Angelica¡¯s current situation. After all, it wasn¡¯t easy for her to get to this point, and she was only one step away from completing the challenge! Angelica took a deep breath to calm herself down. She couldn¡¯t panic at this time. Otherwise, all her previous efforts would be in vain. Meanwhile, Dr. Birkin asked Angelica to put down her weapon and raise her hands to surrender. Angelica could only do as he told her because he had the antidote. However, just as Angelica put down her weapon, she suddenly heard the sound of bullets being loaded behind her. Angelica turned around and saw that Doug had picked up the machine gun in his hand and was pointing it at her. Seeing the scene, countless live stream room viewers immediately began to curse. [Fuck! I knew this Doug wasn¡¯t a good person!] [Darn it! Doug even tricked Claire! He¡¯s too despicable. Not only did he lie to Claire, but he also lied about her feelings.] [Why did Claire like this guy? Shit! Pigs have ruined good cabbages!] [I can¡¯t accept it. Claire is such a good woman, but such a liar cheats on her!] Meanwhile, the comment section was filled with wails. After all, many players liked the character Claire very much. However, in Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter, not only did Claire fall in love with someone else, but the person she fell in love with was a spy from Umbrella Corporation! How could the players accept it?! However, Angelica still looked fearless. The little tricks and preparations she had done before could finally be used now! Doug was also destined to pay the price for his betrayal! Angelica was certain! Chapter 154 - 154 Im a Clone?! 154 I¡¯m a Clone?! Just as Doug threatened Angelica with a gun, Claire arrived from a nearby tunnel. It seemed that Claire had also found the right way to get here after they were separated in the ventilation duct. However, Angelica¡¯s joy didn¡¯t last long. It was because Wesker also appeared with a gun behind Claire as soon as she appeared. Wesker pointed his gun at Claire¡¯s head. Now that Angelica and Claire were both in mortal danger, the situation immediately worsened. Angelica calmly observed the situation in the room and noticed the table decorations. There were a few glass bottles on it and a few fruit knives next to it. Angelica immediately began planning her next act in her mind after she saw them. For example, she could use the things on the table to kill Dr. Birkin and reverse the current situation. However, before Angelica could do anything, Dr. Birkin laughed and said fearlessly. ¡°Don¡¯t try to kill me with the things on the table. I can tell what you¡¯re thinking.¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯ve been sleeping in the underground laboratory since the zombie crisis? I¡¯ve already completed the upgrade and transformation of my body in the process of sleeping.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m far stronger than you. I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible. It¡¯s useless to me!¡± After that, Dr. Birkin went to the table, picked up the bottle on it, and poured himself a glass of wine. He was drinking and talking to Angelica as if no one else was around. Although Dr. Birkin¡¯s attitude was extremely arrogant, Angelica¡¯s plan had been seen through by Dr. Birkin, and she couldn¡¯t do anything now. Dr. Birkin¡¯s arrogant appearance also caused a discussion among countless viewers in the live stream room. Nobody expected Dr. Birkin to be the final boss of the Zombie Apocalypse series or that he would be so powerful. Angelica didn¡¯t do anything just now, but Dr. Birkin had seen through all her intentions. [Why do I feel like Dr. Birkin is even stronger than Wesker in Zombie Apocalypse IV?] [It¡¯s not your feeling because it¡¯s the truth. Dr. Birkin¡¯s current strength should have exceeded the limits of human beings. I wonder how he modified and upgraded his body!] [It might be a genetic evolution. After all, Umbrella Corporation can create the zombie virus. It shouldn¡¯t be a problem to help the human body evolve through the same means.] [It¡¯s ridiculous! Umbrella Corporation¡¯s technology can easily destroy the world in reality!] [I have to say, Dr. Birkin is indeed powerful. If he wasn¡¯t an NPC in the game, he could complete his plan and purify the whole world!] The viewers discussed Dr. Birkin¡¯s strengths. Meanwhile, Dr. Birkin began to tell Angelica more about her in the game. After all, Angelica had been under the surveillance of Umbrella Corporation all the way here. Why would Umbrella Corporation value Angelica so much? It was a mystery. However, since Dr. Birkin had the absolute advantage now, he seemed ready to answer all the questions. Then, Dr. Birkin told Angelica in front of her. ¡°Do you know that you¡¯re the same as those pitiful people out there? You¡¯re also a clone!¡± ¡°You are Alicia¡¯s clone!¡± As soon as Dr. Birkin said that, Angelica was shocked. The Alice she controlled was just a clone? Of course, Angelica couldn¡¯t believe it. After all, she was a veteran player of the Zombie Apocalypse series. From the beginning to the end, she had never felt that she was controlling the clone. Angelica thought, ¡°Is Dr. Birkin deceiving me?¡± Angelica immediately denied Dr. Birkin¡¯s words and insisted she wasn¡¯t a clone. However, Dr. Birkin just smiled and continued. ¡°I know you won¡¯t believe me, but it¡¯s the truth.¡± ¡°It¡¯s because you¡¯re a clone that you don¡¯t have any memories of your childhood. You grew up in the cultivation fluid, so you didn¡¯t even have a childhood. That¡¯s why you don¡¯t have any memories of your childhood.¡± ¡°Your existence is just a game, an experiment!¡± These words had a huge impact on Angelica¡¯s emotions. She couldn¡¯t believe that the entire series of games was just a farce. In the game, Alice had gone through so many difficulties in order to survive in this cruel and cold world. However, Dr. Birkin had told Alice that she was just a clone now?! Since the immersion in the Zombie Apocalypse series was too strong, she would put herself in Alice¡¯s shoes every time Angelica played. Hence, Angelica reacted just the same as the real Alice now. She was greatly shocked after receiving Dr. Birkin¡¯s information. Angelica kept denying it. She didn¡¯t want to believe Dr. Birkin¡¯s words. She didn¡¯t want to believe that the whole game was just a scam! ¡°You¡¯re wrong. I can¡¯t be a clone!¡± Angelica was still repeating herself. Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers were also confused by the situation. They were constantly arguing with others through comments about who was right. [How could Alice be a clone? How can a clone be so powerful?] [If Alice is really a clone, then who can tell me why Umbrella Corporation is doing this? Don¡¯t tell me it is simply because of Umbrella Corporation¡¯s repulsive addiction?] [It¡¯s too evil! I finally know why our world has to ban human cloning experiments. People who do it are no different from demons!] [That¡¯s right! The existence of clones is a tragedy in itself. It is because they don¡¯t know that they aren¡¯t human beings and are just tools and experimental subjects created by humans!] [Now I finally understand why scientists banned human cloning experiments. Sigh, look at Alice in the game and Dr. Birkin outside. They believe they are the donors. They are so pitiful!] [It would be cruel for someone to discover all of their memories were fabricated by others and that nothing in the past was real. I¡¯m afraid no one can accept such a fact!] Chapter 155 - 155 Youre Fired 155 You¡¯re Fired Nobody expected that an ordinary game would now cause a huge discussion about the ethics of human cloning among millions of viewers. However, the plot of the game was still going on. Just as Angelica denied Dr. Birkin¡¯s statement and firmly believed she wasn¡¯t a clone, a weak, slightly pale blonde woman came in an electric wheelchair. The moment everyone saw the woman, for some reason, Angelica and the live stream room viewers felt that she looked a little familiar. Everyone seemed to have seen the woman before, but they were unsure who she was. However, the woman¡¯s following words once again shocked everyone. ¡°Alice, I¡¯m Alicia. Dr. Birkin is right. You¡¯re just my clone.¡± As soon as Alicia said that, the viewers were in an uproar. So the woman was Alicia! Since the main character, Alicia, had appeared, it seemed that everyone could no longer doubt Dr. Birkin¡¯s words. Afterward, the Red Queen¡¯s figure appeared on the big screen of the control panel. ¡°Alice, they¡¯re right. You¡¯re a clone.¡± Dr. Birkin, the Red Queen, and Alicia confirmed Angelica¡¯s identity. Now, no matter how much Angelica didn¡¯t want to believe what they said, she couldn¡¯t say anything to refute them. Everything seemed to be set in stone. Alice, the character Angelica had been playing in the game, was just a clone. Moreover, the image of the Red Queen was the young Alicia, while Alice was the adult Alicia! However, Angelica also realized it was just a game, so she finally accepted the setting. At this time, Dr. Birkin revealed another secret. The Red Queen knew about the decision to destroy the world made by Dr. Birkin at the Umbrella Corporation¡¯s meeting because Alicia had secretly uploaded the video of the meeting to the Red Queen¡¯s system. Therefore, Dr. Birkin had already decided that when Umbrella Corporation¡¯s top executives woke up, they would hold a board meeting and deprive Alicia of her shares. This way, Dr. Birkin would have absolute control over the company, and no one in the world could go against his will! Dr. Birkin said it while sneering at Alicia, thinking she was too naive to stop him. Now that everything was set in stone, neither Alice nor Alicia could stop him from completing his plan to purify the world! At this point, both Alice and Alicia seemed to have no ability to resist. After all, Angelica couldn¡¯t pose any danger to Dr. Birkin at all. Her only helper, Claire, was also pointed at with Wesker¡¯s gun but couldn¡¯t do anything. Furthermore, Doug also pointed his gun at Angelica¡¯s head. It seemed that nobody could change the outcome of the game¡¯s failure. [Maybe Angelica shouldn¡¯t have come here to meet Dr. Birkin directly! She should¡¯ve met up with Claire first, then come to Dr. Birkin together. It might¡¯ve been the only way to win the game!] [Angelica was a little too rash to finish the game as soon as possible. Dr. Birkin¡¯s strength is really beyond our imagination.] [That¡¯s right! Who expects the donor Dr. Birkin to be powerful? He has completed the upgrade and transformation of his body, and ordinary people can¡¯t compete with him anymore!] [It¡¯s such a pity. I can feel that it is the last stage of the game, but now Angelica probably has no way of turning the tables!] Although the live stream room viewers hoped Angelica would win the final victory, the current situation was too bad for her. Nobody could find any hope or opportunity for Angelica to turn the tables. At this moment, an unexpected situation occurred. Facing Dr. Birkin¡¯s ridicule, Alicia suddenly smiled faintly and said. ¡°Even if you want to use the board of directors to take away my shares, you can¡¯t hold a meeting now.¡± ¡°Those directors are still sleeping in hibernation pods, so I still have the most shares in the Umbrella Corporation. I can decide on the appointment and removal of the company¡¯s staff!¡± Dr. Birkin seemed to have noticed something, but he couldn¡¯t stop Alicia. After all, Alicia was a major shareholder in the company. Even Dr. Birkin couldn¡¯t directly threaten or attack her. Alicia looked at Wesker, who was threatening Claire with a gun. She then said indifferently. ¡°You¡¯re fired now!¡± Alicia said it as if it were just a casual remark. However, Wesker¡¯s status as an employee of the Umbrella Corporation was immediately removed from the Red Queen¡¯s system after she had finished speaking. It also meant that the Red Queen no longer had to protect Wesker! From this moment on, Wesker had been identified as an enemy in the eyes of the Red Queen! Therefore, the next moment, an iron door suddenly fell from above, catching Wesker off guard. Wesker didn¡¯t expect the Red Queen to attack him. He didn¡¯t realize that he was no longer an Umbrella Corporation employee. The iron door slammed heavily on Wesker¡¯s body and broke his leg! Without the ability to move, even if Wesker was mighty, he couldn¡¯t use his full power. [Fuck! Alicia is too cool! Did she kill Wesker in one move?] [As expected from the donor! Haha! She was so cool when she said, ¡°You¡¯re fired¡± just now!] [I¡¯d like to call it the best line in Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter!] [I got goosebumps all over my body when I heard that. Haha!] Meanwhile, Alicia¡¯s actions amazed millions of viewers in the live stream room. Nobody expected the powerful opponent, Wesker, to be killed by such a simple sentence. The situation was so dramatic that many people couldn¡¯t react on time. However, the situation had reversed. With the help of Alicia, the best assistant, Claire regained her freedom. At the same time, it was also a signal to counterattack. Angelica was clear that whether they could win the game would depend on her following performance! Chapter 156 - 156 The Scumbags End 156 The Scumbag¡¯s End When he saw that the situation was changing, Doug, who had been pointing his gun at Angelica, had to make a decision immediately. Doug decided to kill Angelica immediately! He wanted to prevent any accidents from happening. However, Doug realized that there was no bullet while pulling the trigger! He was dumbfounded and continued to pull the trigger, but nothing changed. There were no bullets in the gun! At this moment, the live stream room viewers finally knew why Angelica had always been so fearless. Everyone also recalled Angelica¡¯s actions when looking for weapons in the control room. It turned out that Angelica had already unloaded all the bullets from the weapon and handed an empty gun to Doug! Angelica already knew Doug¡¯s identity back then. [By the way, how did Angelica know there was a problem with Doug¡¯s identity?] [I remember a lot of guys saying something was wrong with Doug. I didn¡¯t believe it then. It turns out that I¡¯m too young!] [I have to say Angelica has made an effective move. Now, Doug really looks so funny!] [As expected of Angelica, she¡¯s prepared in advance!] [After all, this is the apocalyptic world. Other than those who Angelica can trust, she must be careful of everyone else!] [So how did Angelica see through Doug?] Meanwhile, Angelica, who was in the game, saw the viewers¡¯ comments. Hence, she temporarily stopped the game and prepared to explain her actions to the viewers. ¡°In fact, I¡¯m not sure who the traitor in the team is at first, but do you remember that we are separated in the ventilation duct?¡± ¡°When Doug found me, I was confused. He had no injuries, which meant he wasn¡¯t hurt here!¡± ¡°It¡¯s obviously an abnormal situation. How lucky must Doug be not to encounter any danger?¡± ¡°In this case, the truth will be that this guy is actually a mole sent by the Umbrella Corporation. Hence, he didn¡¯t encounter any danger.¡± ¡°That¡¯s how he came to meet me unscathed!¡± ¡°Hence, I was alerted and gave him an empty gun. I didn¡¯t expect that I would be right!¡± After listening to Angelica¡¯s explanation, the live stream room viewers suddenly realized something and admired Angelica¡¯s quick judgment. [As expected of Angelica to be quick-witted. No wonder you can clear so many games in one go. You¡¯re really something!] [Are you a new viewer? Have you only just found out about Angelica¡¯s strength?] [Haha! The new viewers are still in shock, but the regular viewers are already used to it. Angelica is very accurate in determining the game details!] [I must say, this time, Angelica is amazing!] [Look! Dr. Birkin is running away!] Suddenly, someone reminded Angelica in the comments, and she quickly returned to the game and continued playing. Sure enough, Dr. Birkin fled when he saw that Angelica had dealt with his men and knew that staying here was hazardous. Angelica wanted to chase after him, but Dr. Birkin disappeared in the blink of an eye. To prevent any accidents, Angelica didn¡¯t rashly chase after him. At this moment, Claire arrived in front of Doug. She held a gun and pointed the black muzzle at Doug. Doug looked at his girlfriend, begging Claire to spare his life. Seeing it, the live stream room viewers began to urge Claire. [Claire, what are you hesitating for? Hurry up and kill this heartless man!] [He is a bastard! How dare he betray his girlfriend while she is willing to be his girlfriend in the apocalypse?! He must die!] [That¡¯s right! He has no bottom line at all. He even betrayed a good woman like Claire. He deserves to die!] [Claire, only by killing this guy can you vent your anger! Don¡¯t be soft-hearted!] The live stream room viewers seemed to have forgotten that Claire was just an NPC in the game and couldn¡¯t see their comments. However, the viewers no longer think of Claire as an ordinary NPC. Therefore, they were willing to talk to her. It didn¡¯t matter if Claire could see what they were saying. Claire didn¡¯t disappoint the viewers in the end. Claire picked up her gun and pulled the trigger at Doug. Claire gave Doug a headshot, and he immediately fell to the ground with a bang. Claire didn¡¯t hesitate at all. Her gaze was icy, as if she were killing a stranger. The scene satisfied the viewers, and Claire won countless fans with her strength! If she were a real person in real life, her number of fans would break through a million in an instant! It once again proved to the players how successful Su Ping was in creating the characters in his games! It could be said that every character wasn¡¯t just an NPC but a lively character, just like a person in reality! [Claire is so cool! I like you more and more!] [Claire completely wins me over. Who wouldn¡¯t like such a cool girl who is good at fighting?] [Haha! Good job! That scumbag Doug is finally dead!] [Bravo! It is how Doug should have ended up looking. How dare he lie to Claire!] [Sigh, if only Claire existed in reality, I would pursue her at all costs!] [Don¡¯t even think about it. Even if Claire exists, she¡¯s not a girl that ordinary people like us can pursue!] After Claire killed Doug, Angelica was ready to go after Dr. Birkin with Claire. Angelica¡¯s next step was to snatch the antidote from Dr. Birkin. Afterward, she had to break the antidote carrier in the outside world to release the antidote into the air, and then she would complete her mission! The two quickly chased after Dr. Birkin and soon found him on the control panel. At this moment, Dr. Birkin didn¡¯t have time to activate the control panel, so Angelica and Claire quickly rushed over and began to fight with Dr. Birkin at the control panel. Since it was likely the game¡¯s decisive battle, Angelica had to be fully alert to win. Even the live stream room viewers watched the battle with full attention, cheering for Angelica. Chapter 157 - 157 The Fear of Facing the Laser Hallway 157 The Fear of Facing the Laser Hallway As the control panel slowly rose, the three people on the panel also began to fight. However, Dr. Birkin¡¯s strength was too strong. He had evolved into a new human species and wasn¡¯t disadvantaged when fighting against Angelica and Claire alone. He even had the upper hand. Claire was careless for a second and was knocked out directly by Dr. Birkin. Angelica was still gritting her teeth and fighting even though her companion couldn¡¯t fight temporarily. As the control panel finally returned to its original floor, Angelica quickly took a grenade from the weapon bag beside her and put it in her pocket. Angelica was ready to use the grenade to win unexpectedly. However, after the previous battle, she realized the strength gap between her and Dr. Birkin. Angelica knew she couldn¡¯t defeat Dr. Birkin in physical combat. Meanwhile, the control panel had stopped moving, and the two were fighting in the room. At this moment, Dr. Birkin suddenly found an opportunity to grab Angelica and directly throw her into the Laser Hallway! Dr. Birkin immediately activated the Laser Hallway program using the control panel next to him! After many years, although the Laser Hallway was covered with dust, the glass on both sides had a thick layer of dust¡­ However, the Laser Hallway was still functioning well. Dr. Birkin could easily activate the program when he used the control panel. Soon, laser beams began to appear in front of Angelica. At this moment, Angelica only felt that she had returned to the moment she was playing Zombie Apocalypse I, and she had to use all her skills to avoid the threat of the lasers. Seeing the scene, the live stream room viewers began cursing at Dr. Birkin. [Dr. Birkin is too cunning! How dare he throw Angelica into the Laser Hallway and want to win the battle with lasers?!] [Dr. Birkin, are you a man? You only know how to win the battle using tricks, right?] [Fuck! It turns out that the Laser Hallway can still be activated?! I thought the equipment was already broken when I saw how dirty the Laser Hallway was!] [I have to say that the Umbrella Corporation¡¯s equipment is durable. After so many years, it is still well-functioning!] [Hey! Isn¡¯t the focus of your attention a little off? Shouldn¡¯t we be condemning Dr. Birkin now?] [All the best, Angelica. The Laser Hallway didn¡¯t kill you when you played Zombie Apocalypse I. Hence, you¡¯ll definitely be fine this time!] Meanwhile, Angelica couldn¡¯t pay attention to the live stream room comments. As the laser beams got closer and closer, she had to concentrate all her energy to avoid the laser beams. Angelica would be sliced to pieces by the lasers no matter how strong she was. Dr. Birkin was standing outside the Laser Hallway, constantly controlling the lasers through the control panel to attack Angelica. Although Angelica was very agile, Dr. Birkin controlled the laser manually this time. As a result, Angelica began to struggle, and Dr. Birkin took advantage of the opportunity when Angelica completely focused her attention on the lasers. Dr. Birkin was like Zombie Apocalypse IV¡¯s Wesker, and he teleported! Dr. Birkin came directly in front of Angelica and grabbed her arm. Meanwhile, a slanted laser was gradually approaching. Angelica struggled with all her might, trying to break free from Dr. Birkin¡¯s control. However, Dr. Birkin¡¯s strength was too strong, and Angelica couldn¡¯t move her hand. Finally, the laser eventually approached. Dr. Birkin controlled Angelica¡¯s hand and let the laser directly cut off four of Angelica¡¯s fingers! Angelica let out a blood-curdling scream. Although the pain in the game had been weakened, Angelica was still in so much pain that she was almost kicked out of the game. The scene made many live stream room viewers cover their eyes because it was too bloody. Nobody had ever witnessed a person watch a laser cut their finger off. Even though it was a game scene, the visual stimulation was too intense. [Fuck! Isn¡¯t Dr. Birkin too cruel? He made Angelica watch her finger get cut off?!] [Poor Angelica¡­ As expected of the final boss in the Zombie Apocalypse series. Dr. Birkin is too powerful!] [I must say, Dr. Birkin¡¯s strength is too strong!] [Is Angelica going to lose?] Now that Angelica was seriously injured and the laser had cut off her right-hand fingers, nobody believed that Angelica could still turn the tide. Dr. Birkin then began to attack Angelica madly. He repeatedly punched Angelica¡¯s body. Since Dr. Birkin had strengthened his body, his every attack would make Angelica feel severe pain. It looked like Angelica couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. Dr. Birkin threw another punch at Angelica, but this time, she dodged it. Meanwhile, she showed a strange smile on her face. When Dr. Birkin saw the scene, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Then he saw a grenade hook appear in Angelica¡¯s hand! However, Dr. Birkin didn¡¯t see a grenade in Angelica¡¯s hand. Where did the grenade go? Dr. Birkin immediately changed his facial expression, but it was already too late by the time he reacted. A grenade exploded right in Dr. Birkin¡¯s pocket with a bang! The grenade exploded right next to Dr. Birkin¡¯s body, even if Dr. Birkin¡¯s body had been strengthened and was no longer a normal human. However, the grenade¡¯s close proximity caused Dr. Birkin to be severely hurt and pass out immediately. Angelica struggled to get up from the ground and found the antidote in Dr. Birkin¡¯s body. Then she quickly left the Laser Hallway and went up through the elevator in the control room! Angelica had almost lost just now. Nobody expected she would suddenly turn the situation around and turn defeat into victory so easily! Moreover, the live stream room viewers didn¡¯t notice when Angelica put the grenade into Dr. Birkin¡¯s pocket. The magical scene shocked countless people. No one would have thought Angelica would win the battle with such a method. At this moment, everyone¡¯s heart was filled with hope. They thought, ¡°Could it be that Angelica is going to complete every game in the Zombie Apocalypse series in one go?¡± Chapter 158 - 158 A Clone Meeting Its Donor 158 A Clone Meeting Its Donor [Fuck! When did Angelica put that grenade in Dr. Birkin¡¯s pants? Did anyone see it?] [Haha! Is it great to stuff a grenade in Dr. Birkin¡¯s pants? I wonder how Dr. Birkin feels right now. I feel pain just thinking about it!] [Huh, Dr. Birkin deserves such an ending! No matter how he dies, he deserves it!] [Speaking of which, how did Angelica put the grenade in? Moreover, she could still complete her plan calmly while her fingers were already cut off. It¡¯s incredible!] [That¡¯s right! Even though Angelica was at a huge disadvantage, she was still able to remain calm. It¡¯s something only a few people can do it!] [I even suspect that Angelica used to be a soldier! Her mental fortitude isn¡¯t something an ordinary person should have!] The live stream room viewers were still discussing Angelica¡¯s previous feat. It was because it was simply too outrageous to secretly stuff a grenade into someone¡¯s crotch and then blow it up. Finally, Angelica took the control room¡¯s elevator and quickly reached the ground. After returning to the outside world, Angelica took in big gulps of the cool air outside. Only then did she feel the pain in her body ease a little. Only a few people could bear the pain of cutting their fingers off. Angelica probably would have fainted if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the game¡¯s pain was reduced. When Angelica looked at the dark world in front of her, she gently let go of her hand and let the glass bottle containing the antidote fall to the ground. However, the glass bottle didn¡¯t shatter because a person had appeared in front of her without her knowing. He was Dr. Birkin, who had previously been knocked out by Angelica¡¯s grenade! The exploding grenade had hit Dr. Birkin, but he had woken up quickly! Moreover, Dr. Birkin had followed Angelica all the way, which caught her off guard. Angelica didn¡¯t expect Dr. Birkin to be so fast! Moreover, at crunch time, Dr. Birkin managed to save the antidote that was about to fall to the ground! Now that the antidote couldn¡¯t be released into the air, Dr. Birkin also picked up his weapon and aimed it at Angelica¡¯s head. Could it be that Angelica still had to fail the game even though she had made it to this point? It was hard for Angelica and the millions of viewers in the live stream room to accept. They had gone through so many difficulties and passed countless obstacles¡­ Was Angelica going to stop at the last step and fail the game? [I can¡¯t accept it. How can Dr. Birkin be so fast?! It¡¯s not normal!] [I suspect Su Ping deliberately let Dr. Birkin have such strong abilities. He was already blown up by the grenade. How can he still be alive?] [That¡¯s right! I can still accept that Dr. Birkin is alive, but I can¡¯t accept his reaching the ground so quickly! Angelica took the elevator up. How did Dr. Birkin get here?] [Sigh, we¡¯ve been tricked by Su Ping again. Who would¡¯ve thought that Dr. Birkin would be so fast?] [Dr. Birkin is the most powerful boss in the history of the Zombie Apocalypse series!] [It¡¯s a pity that Angelica was careless at the last step. Otherwise, she would have directly smashed the antidote in her hand on the ground. Then all these wouldn¡¯t have happened at all!] Many viewers felt sorry for Angelica¡¯s current situation. After all, Angelica was about to complete the task just now. However, at crunch time, Dr. Birkin successfully turned the tables. At this moment, Angelica had no idea what to do. It was because she had no weapons with her while Dr. Birkin was pointing his gun at her head. Moreover, Dr. Birkin¡¯s strength was much stronger than hers. In this case, she had no chance to resist. At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the distance, and the earth seemed to shake slightly. When Angelica and Dr. Birkin felt the movement, they turned their heads to look and found that the clone Dr. Birkin who had been driving the tank, had finally arrived at the entrance. At this moment, the clone Dr. Birkin who was driving the tank, was stunned when he suddenly saw the donor Dr. Birkin in front of Angelica. His mind immediately went blank. After a long time, he finally reacted and came to the donor Dr. Birkin. Afterward, he asked confusingly. ¡°Who are you? Who the hell are you?!¡± The donor, Dr. Birkin, pointed a gun at Angelica while he sneered. ¡°Huh, who am I? I¡¯m you! You¡¯re just a clone of mine.¡± ¡°What a pitiful fellow. You¡¯re still thinking you¡¯re a human! Haha!¡± Dr. Birkin was good at taunting people. He immediately enraged the clone Dr. Birkin and appeared to have nothing to live for. Obviously, he had never thought that he was also a clone. Before, he had laughed at Dr. Birkin in Zombie Apocalypse IV, thinking that he was pitiful and sad as a clone. But now he had to face the same fate! The live stream room viewers were ecstatic when they saw the scene. Nobody had expected such a scene to appear. The clone and the donor had officially met. The key was that the clone still thought he was the donor! The scene was indeed a little too comical. [Haha! The clone is too pitiful! It turns out that he foolishly thinks that he is the donor!] [Sigh, although I¡¯ve thought about what would happen if the two Dr. Birkin met, I didn¡¯t expect I could witness such a scene!] [Suddenly, I¡¯m pitying the clone, Dr. Birkin. Sigh, he must be desperate when he discovered that he was just a clone after working so hard for so long!] [That¡¯s right! If I were the clone, Dr. Birkin, I wouldn¡¯t want to live anymore!] Just as the viewers were ridiculing the scene they saw, Angelica was at a loss whether to laugh or cry¡­ The clone of Dr. Birkin suddenly made an unexpected move. He suddenly pulled out a dagger from his body and directly approached Dr. Birkin, ruthlessly stabbing the knife into his body! Moreover, he constantly pulled out the knife and stabbed Dr. Birkin as if facing his enemy. The scene shocked Angelica and the millions of live stream room viewers. Chapter 159 - 159 The Destruction of the Zombies 159 The Destruction of the Zombies Although the clone Dr. Birkin and the donor Dr. Birkin were different, there was at least some connection between them. In the eyes of the live stream room viewers, the donor created the clone even if there were conflicts between the two. Nobody expected that the cloned Dr. Birkin would kill the donor Dr. Birkin. Moreover, the donor Dr. Birkin obviously didn¡¯t expect his clone to attack him. Hence, he didn¡¯t make any defensive preparations after mocking his clone. As a result, Dr. Birkin¡¯s body suffered severe injuries immediately and was rendered completely immobile. The cloned Dr. Birkin didn¡¯t show any mercy. He madly attacked Dr. Birkin with the dagger as if he were possessed. [Damn! The cloned Dr. Birkin has gone crazy. He killed his donor!] [Haha! Dr. Birkin, you deserved it. Who asks you to mock your clone for no reason? Your clone is mentally agitated when he discovers that he is a clone, and you keep mocking him at that time. Don¡¯t you deserve it?] [That¡¯s right! If I were him, I wouldn¡¯t be able to accept it if I suddenly learned that I¡¯m not a human!] Angelica stood on the side, watching the clone Dr. Birkin stab Dr. Birkin¡¯s body with the dagger in his hand. She was completely stunned and forgot what she had to do for a moment. Dr. Birkin slowly fell to the ground after suffering so many consecutive attacks. Even if Dr. Birkin had strengthened his body, he simply couldn¡¯t withstand such attacks. Moreover, Dr. Birkin had just been injured by the grenade Angelica had stuffed into his pocket. Hence, his body hadn¡¯t recovered to its best condition. It caused Dr. Birkin¡¯s body to collapse after suddenly suffering such injuries. Just as Angelica was in a daze, the zombies attracted by the clone Dr. Birkin caught up. The cloned Dr. Birkin had been attacking his donor and didn¡¯t care about the appearance of the zombies. It caused the cloned Dr. Birkin to have no intention of dodging the zombies¡¯ attacks. A few zombies immediately pounced on the cloned Dr. Birkin and began to bite him. The zombies completely swallowed the two Dr. Birkins. Fortunately, Angelica also got a grip when the zombies appeared. Angelica quickly grabbed the antidote from Dr. Birkin¡¯s hand and threw the glass bottle to the ground when the zombie rushed at her. As the glass bottle shattered, the antidote quickly spread through the air. Therefore, Angelica stood still after breaking the glass bottle. She didn¡¯t try to avoid the zombies. Angelica didn¡¯t care about the zombies that were charging at her. However, the zombies couldn¡¯t even touch Angelica¡¯s body before they all fell to the ground. Clearly, it was the effect of the antidote! Since the zombies were infected by the zombie virus, when the antidote killed the virus, the zombies naturally died. The countless zombie soldiers were like harvested wheat, falling one by one. They also fell to the ground like waves and could no longer move. The spectacular scene thrilled Angelica and the millions of live-stream room viewers. Nobody had expected Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter to end with such a grand scene. Meanwhile, the bombs that Angelica had previously installed in The Hive began to explode one after another. It killed all the Umbrella Corporation¡¯s top executives who were sleeping in hibernation pods. The Umbrella Corporation¡¯s top executives died in their dreams, one after another. In the end, they didn¡¯t manage to welcome the arrival of the new world. Angelica would definitely not let them survive and occupy the whole new world. When looking at the fallen zombies, Angelica took a long breath and said calmly. ¡°It¡¯s finally over!¡± Upon hearing it, the live stream room viewers started to be emotional. [It¡¯s finally over. The Zombie Apocalypse series has six games, and Angelica has cleared them all. I feel like time has passed so quickly!] [That¡¯s right! I even feel like I¡¯m in a dream. I didn¡¯t expect the Zombie Apocalypse series to end so soon!] [I suddenly feel a little regretful. It would be great if the Zombie Apocalypse series could continue, but it¡¯s a pity that it will be over forever!] [No matter what, the Zombie Apocalypse series will be a milestone in the gaming industry. I¡¯m afraid there won¡¯t be many games in the future that can surpass it!] [Angelica¡¯s challenge should be considered a success! She has never died since she played Zombie Apocalypse I. It¡¯s just like a miracle!] [Hehe! What will Su Ping give Angelica as a gift this time?] The viewers discussed the Zombie Apocalypse series, including Su Ping¡¯s promise to Angelica. If Angelica could clear Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter on her first try, Su Ping would prepare a gift for her. Angelica was filled with anticipation. She wanted to know what Su Ping would give her as soon as possible. Just as Angelica was fantasizing about the future, she suddenly felt her vision turn black, and her entire body slowly fell. The game wasn¡¯t over yet, but she had fallen unconscious. Angelica¡¯s consciousness left Alice¡¯s body and turned into a third-person perspective, which meant that she couldn¡¯t control Alice temporarily. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why did Alice suddenly faint? What the hell happened?¡± Angelica couldn¡¯t figure out what was happening and was in a daze. Many live stream room viewers also constantly guessed how everything had happened and were discussing it. [Why did Angelica faint? Aren¡¯t the zombies exterminated? Did she get infected by accident?] [Did everyone forget that Angelica was already infected with the zombie virus in Zombie Apocalypse I? She didn¡¯t turn into a zombie because she injected the antidote in time.] [Moreover, Angelica¡¯s superpowers were initially caused by the zombie virus. Now that the zombie virus originally caused the antidote has been released, the zombie virus in Angelica¡¯s body has been eliminated!] [That¡¯s why Angelica fell into a coma. I wondered if she could wake up again!] Chapter 160 - 160 A Real Person 160 A Real Person Soon, the live stream room viewers analyzed the current situation. In the end, everyone agreed that it was probably because the zombie virus had already fused with the cells of Angelica¡¯s body. Therefore, when the antidote eliminated the zombie virus, it caused Angelica to be attacked by the antidote. Her body was injured, and she fell into a coma. However, Angelica and the viewers weren¡¯t particularly nervous since the game wasn¡¯t over. ¡°I don¡¯t think the antidote will completely kill Alice like the zombies. After all, Alice hasn¡¯t completely become a zombie.¡± ¡°Maybe after some time, when Alice gradually recovers, she should be able to wake up!¡± Angelica analyzed calmly, and many viewers acknowledged her statement. Angelica¡¯s statement was the truth. Soon, Angelica suddenly found that she could control Alice¡¯s body again. However, when Angelica opened her eyes again, she realized that it was already daytime and countless lights and shadows were in front of her. The lights and shadows appeared in front of her like a movie. Angelica felt everything she saw was familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. Suddenly, Angelica said it in surprise. ¡°Look! The little girl looks exactly like the Red Queen!¡± As soon as Angelica said it, the viewers suddenly realized something, and everyone made their guesses. [I remember that Alicia seems to have mentioned that the Red Queen¡¯s image was originally the young Alicia, or you could say that she was the young Alice, right? So, is Alice now watching Alicia¡¯s childhood?] [Where did these fragments come from?] [Could all these be Alicia¡¯s memories? It shouldn¡¯t be a problem for Umbrella Corporation to retain a person¡¯s memory since their technology is so powerful, right?] The viewers had all kinds of opinions on the matter, and Angelica was also willing to believe that the fragments should belong to Alicia¡¯s childhood memories. Suddenly, the Red Queen appeared in front of Angelica and began to explain to her. This time, the viewers were right. The fragments were indeed Alicia¡¯s memories. Alicia had downloaded all her memories before she died just to leave them for Angelica. After all, the Alice that Angelica was controlling now was only a clone, and she didn¡¯t have any childhood memories. Now that Alicia had given her memories to Alice, it was equivalent to making Alice¡¯s life complete. Since Alicia had died, Alice, who had inherited all her memories, would continue to live as a real human in the future! After the Red Queen said it, the number of comments in the live stream room decreased significantly. The viewers were all very touched after they learned the truth. Especially Angelica, who was in the game, was so touched that she wanted to cry. Angelica looked at the countless memory fragments around her and felt she had become Alice in the game. Angelica felt like she was no longer a player or a passerby in this world. She was a person who truly belonged in this world. It was no longer a game world but a real one that was incomparably interesting and realistic! At some point, the game had ended, but Angelica was still wearing the immersive experience equipment. She forgot to take them off. Meanwhile, Angelica was still recalling the scenes she had just seen. Suddenly, Angelica felt something cool flowing from the corner of her eye. She touched it with her hand and realized that she was crying. Millions of live stream room viewers also saw the scene. However, nobody teased Angelica about it. It was because the viewers had the same thoughts as Angelica. Everyone was touched by the scenes they had watched. After a while, Angelica began to remove the gaming equipment from her body, allowing her spirit and consciousness to return to reality. It was the disadvantage of immersive games. If the game was too realistic, it was easy for the players to immerse themselves. Especially for someone as emotional as Angelica, she would completely forget that she was just playing a game once she was immersed in it. ¡°Phew! Everyone, thank you for watching my live stream today. Now, I¡¯ve cleared all the Zombie Apocalypse series games.¡± ¡°I¡¯m feeling a little emotional right now, so it might not be suitable for me to continue live streaming. Since I¡¯ve already cleared the game, let¡¯s end today¡¯s live streaming here.¡± ¡°I hope everyone understands that I need time to adjust my mentality. Let¡¯s meet earlier tomorrow!¡± After saying it, Angelica turned off the live stream. However, the live stream room viewers didn¡¯t expect her to end her live stream so quickly. Originally, the viewers expected Angelica to discuss Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter with them. In the end, Angelica ended her live stream. However, this time, the live stream room viewers weren¡¯t too harsh on Angelica, nor did they express their dissatisfaction with her behavior. Everyone could understand Angelica¡¯s actions. After all, they were also emotionally affected as spectators, not to mention Angelica, who was the one playing the game. [Sigh, I suddenly feel a sense of loss. The Zombie Apocalypse series is over just like that?] [Me too! I felt sad, especially when I saw the last scene just now. I hope I can continue to play the Zombie Apocalypse series, control Alice to go on an adventure in this world, and destroy the last zombie!] [At first, everyone thought the Zombie Apocalypse series was a combat game. Nobody expected that the game would describe emotions in such detail!] [It is neither a doomsday survival game nor a combat game. It¡¯s epic!] After Angelica went offline, many viewers still chose to stay and discuss the game with others. Everyone felt that they wanted to play more. After all, it could be said that Angelica suddenly ended her live stream. Therefore, the live stream room had millions of concurrent viewers after Angelica went offline. It was undoubtedly a grand occasion. Many other live streamers would probably be jealous of Angelica when they saw the scene. Chapter 161 - 161 Angelicas Anticipation 161 Angelica¡¯s Anticipation As Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter was officially released, all kinds of news related to the game were the hottest topic on the search list. The title ¡°Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter¡± was the hottest topic on the search list for almost the entire day. People could see news related to the game everywhere, including on video-sharing and live-streaming platforms. Zombie Apocalypse had become a culture that attracted countless youngsters to join. There were even many trendy middle-aged people who joined in the discussion about Zombie Apocalypse. Almost no one could refuse the phenomenal work of the game industry in recent years. Moreover, the Zombie Apocalypse series was powerful enough, so there was no need to worry about people being dissatisfied with the game. Almost everyone who played the Zombie Apocalypse series would fall in love with the game. Meanwhile, netizens were all discussing Zombie Apocalypse. Angelica didn¡¯t go to bed immediately after ending her live stream. Instead, she chose to contact Su Ping. Angelica sent Su Ping a message with great anticipation. ¡°Did you watch my live stream just now? I cleared Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter in one go!¡± It was as if she was presenting a treasure to Su Ping. However, Angelica still acted very reservedly. She didn¡¯t ask for a gift from Su Ping directly. Of course, Angelica¡¯s intentions were obvious. ¡°I¡¯ve already completed the challenge, so hurry up and give me the gift.¡± On the other side, Su Ping was surfing the internet when he saw the message from Angelica. He wasn¡¯t surprised. Su Ping had expected the result. Or rather, he knew Angelica¡¯s strength all too well. Su Ping knew very well what kind of talent Angelica had in the Zombie Apocalypse game. After Su Ping saw Angelica¡¯s message, he pretended to be dumb and replied to her message. ¡°Congratulations, but I wasn¡¯t watching the live stream just now. I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°You¡¯re amazing to be able to clear the Zombie Apocalypse series in one go.¡± At the end of the message, Su Ping also sent a smiley face. On the other hand, Angelica pouted unhappily after reading Su Ping¡¯s message. ¡°I¡¯ve cleared the game, and you¡¯ve nothing else to say?¡± Su Ping could sense that Angelica was a little unhappy. However, Su Ping still decided to tease Angelica. Su Ping continued to play dumb. ¡°Yeah! Didn¡¯t I already congratulate you? What¡¯s the matter? What else do you want me to say?¡± As soon as Su Ping sent the message, Angelica replied with an angry emoji. Meanwhile, Angelica added a message. ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re a guy who goes back on his word. I don¡¯t want to talk to you anymore!¡± When Su Ping sensed that Angelica was anxious, he quickly sent a pitiful emoji. However, he didn¡¯t get a reply from her this time. Su Ping scratched his head and mumbled to himself innocently. ¡°Sigh, when did she become so impatient? I didn¡¯t say I wouldn¡¯t give her a gift.¡± Su Ping quickly sent a message explaining that he was teasing her. However, it was clear that Angelica was furious. She completely ignored Su Ping. Su Ping knew Angelica well. He knew that it would be useless if she refused to talk to him no matter what he said. ¡°Forget it. I better hurry and prepare a gift for Angelica. What should I give her this time?¡± With this thought, Su Ping fell into deep thought. Last time, Su Ping gave Angelica the game World War Z. At that time, all the players worldwide were envious of Angelica. After all, no one knew about World War Z back then. No one knew that Su Ping had made such a game. At that time, Angelica was the only one in the world who could experience World War Z, which made countless people envious. ¡°So, what present should I give Angelica this time?¡± ¡°Should I give her a new game?¡± Su Ping was caught in a dilemma. Su Ping didn¡¯t have a high EQ and wasn¡¯t very good at relationships. Su Ping had heard that giving gifts to girls required certain things, but he was still caught in a dilemma when he had to do it himself. Su Ping often had no idea about the most suitable gift and worried that the gift he gave wouldn¡¯t satisfy Angelica. ¡°Sigh, I have a headache.¡± Su Ping said helplessly. After a while, Su Ping decided to give The Matrix I to Angelica as a gift. After all, besides using the system to make games, Su Ping didn¡¯t seem to have any other skills. Since Su Ping couldn¡¯t come up with a better gift, he felt it was best to give Angelica The Matrix. At that time, he could let her play the game during the live stream. It could also make her live stream more interesting. Therefore, Su Ping gave up on going to bed early. He sat back in front of his computer. Since Angelica had already cleared Zombie Apocalypse, Su Ping should quickly complete The Matrix I and try to give it to Angelica as soon as possible. Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter was popular for three days. There were many posts about Zombie Apocalypse on the internet during those three days. The game was being discussed by many players worldwide. Moreover, Zombie Apocalypse V was released not long ago, so the two games were like two waves. The new game was like waves pushing the other waves in front and forming a swirl of discussion. During this time, many people who were uninterested in the game or didn¡¯t care much about it learned about Zombie Apocalypse. It undoubtedly attracted more players to play Zombie Apocalypse. After all, the quality of the game was extremely high. As long as the game could attract people¡¯s attention, it would be easy for them to become immersed in it after playing it for a while. As for how many players and fans the Zombie Apocalypse series had worldwide, even Steam couldn¡¯t keep track of them. They could only make a rough estimate based on the number of downloads of the game, and the number of players had probably exceeded 100 million! The actual number would only be higher! Su Ping had truly become the world¡¯s number-one game producer! Su Ping¡¯s strength made him more influential and appealing than major game development companies. However, no matter how unwilling Storm Gaming Company or Steam to admit failure, they couldn¡¯t do anything while facing such a situation. Although they also wanted to make a good game like the Zombie Apocalypse series, they couldn¡¯t do it! It was the fact that made them feel desperate! Chapter 162 - 162 The Mysterious Gift 162 The Mysterious Gift The next day, Su Ping was surfing the internet while having lunch. He opened his personal account to see what his fans were discussing. Su Ping immediately saw countless messages and comments. When he read them, he found that most were asking about his gift to Angelica. [Crazy game producer, hurry up and tell us what gift you¡¯re planning to give Angelica this time.] [Su Ping, if we don¡¯t like the gift you gave Angelica, we might go to your house to find you!] [Su Ping, I suggest you tell me what you want to give Angelica. I promise I won¡¯t tell anyone else!] [He is playing dead again! When will the new game be released? I can¡¯t wait for it!] Su Ping didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the messages and comments. Su Ping thought, ¡°Oh, Lord! In a row, I¡¯ve released two games, Zombie Apocalypse V and Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter. I¡¯ve been working so hard, which has made me so tired that I¡¯m about to vomit blood!¡± ¡°In the end, not only did these ingrates not show sympathy for me, but they urged me to release the new game?!¡± ¡°These guys really treated me as a robot!¡± Of course, Su Ping deleted the messages and comments without replying. As a matter of fact, Su Ping finished the content of The Matrix I this morning. All he had to do was send the game installation package to Angelica when she live-streamed at night. Moreover, the installation package was exclusively provided by him, and even Steam didn¡¯t know about it! Besides, no one knew what Su Ping¡¯s new game series was about. No one had heard of The Matrix! This time, The Matrix was like World War Z. It was also an exclusive release! Once again, all players worldwide would envy Angelica because she could play Su Ping¡¯s latest game in advance. To make tonight Angelica¡¯s live stream more popular, Su Ping wrote a post to help Angelica attract some viewers. ¡°When Angelica starts her live stream tonight, I¡¯ll personally go to her live stream room to announce the gift I¡¯m giving her. Those interested in this matter can watch Angelica¡¯s live stream. The answer will be revealed tonight, so please look forward to it!¡± Su Ping checked the post he had written and nodded in satisfaction. Then, he decisively posted it. Soon, the post appeared on his social media account¡¯s homepage. Just like before¡­ As soon as Su Ping posted it, countless people commented on it. ¡°This bunch of ingrates! They keep sending me private messages to scold me every day, urging me to release a new game. It turns out that they¡¯ve been keeping an eye on my account every day.¡± Su Ping didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the increasing number of comments. Su Ping felt that he couldn¡¯t understand his fans. Although his fans always scolded him, they simultaneously supported him with all their might. Soon, Su Ping¡¯s post had exceeded a thousand comments, and the number was still increasing rapidly. Moreover, Su Ping¡¯s post exceeded a million likes, and the view count was even higher. After a while, Su Ping refreshed the page again. The number of comments had doubled. The fans commented in the comments section that they were looking forward to Angelica¡¯s live stream tonight. Many people were guessing what Su Ping would give Angelica as a gift. [I think Su Ping will give Angelica a new game. That¡¯s more like his style!] [No way. Su Ping already gave Angelica a new game last time. Besides, it¡¯s weird for a guy to always give girls games as gifts!] [I can tell you¡¯re not a loyal fan. Angelica¡¯s favorite thing is playing games! You can¡¯t treat Angelica as an ordinary girl!] [That¡¯s right! Otherwise, why would Angelica and Su Ping be such a good match? The two of them are a perfect match in some aspects. One only knows how to play games, and the other only knows how to make games. They¡¯re a perfect match!] [Haha! I suddenly thought of a phrase, self-produced and self-consumed!] [Also, don¡¯t let your fertile water flow into others¡¯ fields!] Su Ping read the comments with great interest. Just then, Su Ping received a message from Angelica. ¡°Hey, you¡¯ve already prepared the present for me?¡± ¡°I suddenly received a lot of private messages from my fans. They said you¡¯d posted something saying you¡¯ll give me a gift tonight. Is it true?¡± Su Ping nodded as soon as he saw the message and replied. ¡°Of course, since I¡¯ve already promised to give you a gift, I won¡¯t go back on my word!¡± ¡°How is it? Are you looking forward to it now? Do you want to know what the gift is in advance?¡± Su Ping was trying to tempt Angelica. However, this time, Angelica seemed to be very patient. ¡°Hmph! I know you definitely won¡¯t, even if I want you to tell me the answer. You¡¯re just teasing me on purpose!¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I don¡¯t want to know at all this time! Anyway, you¡¯ll give me a gift during tonight¡¯s live stream!¡± Su Ping was shocked. Su Ping thought, ¡°Since when did Angelica become so smart?¡± ¡°Where did the silly girl who always fell for my tricks go?¡± ¡°Is she Angelica?¡± Su Ping and Angelica chatted for a while. After some discussion, Su Ping decided to go to Angelica¡¯s house to do a live stream with her. Just like when World War Z was announced for the first time, Su Ping¡¯s appearance in the live stream room would bring a lot of popularity. After all, Su Ping had a terrifying number of fans worldwide. With Angelica¡¯s live stream as a medium, he could attract many viewers. The popularity of the live stream room would also reach its peak. Besides, Su Ping and Angelica had become very familiar with each other. They were already good friends who could talk about anything. Therefore, neither Su Ping nor Angelica would feel embarrassed about Su Ping going to Angelica¡¯s house for a live stream. Time passed by slowly. Finally, the sky darkened. Su Ping left his home and went to Angelica¡¯s house carrying the USB drive that held The Matrix installation package. Tonight, Su Ping was destined to throw a bombshell into the gaming industry all over the world. He would create a new and unprecedented sensation. It was because The Matrix series would be officially released tonight! Chapter 163 - 163 The New Game 163 The New Game Soon, Su Ping arrived at Angelica¡¯s house. Meanwhile, Angelica had already started her live stream and interacted with the viewers while waiting for Su Ping. When Su Ping appeared in front of the camera, the comments were chaotic. [Wow, it¡¯s Su Ping! You¡¯re finally here!] [He is finally here? Hurry up and let everyone see what gift you¡¯re giving Angelica!] [Hurry up and show us the present!] [Angelica, go and urge him! He¡¯s keeping the present a secret and keeping us in suspense!] The viewers urged Su Ping to show the gift as soon as he appeared. Sitting next to him, Angelica also looked at Su Ping with anticipation. Obviously, Angelica was eager to know what Su Ping had prepared for her. Su Ping knew that Angelica and the millions of viewers were waiting for this moment. Hence, he wouldn¡¯t purposely keep them in suspense. Instead, Su Ping took the USB drive from his pocket and placed it on the table. ¡°This is my gift. Hurry up and insert it into your computer to have a look. You¡¯ll definitely like it!¡± Su Ping said it with great confidence. Seeing the USB drive on the table, the live stream room viewers became extremely excited again. It was the USB Su Ping used when he gave Angelica World War Z! Could it be that Su Ping would give Angelica another new game this time? Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter had just been released two days ago. Now, Su Ping had finished a new game? Was he still human?! The speed at which he created games was too fast! The live stream room viewers were full of anticipation, but at the same time, they were extremely shocked. No one could imagine the speed at which Su Ping was making the new game. It was especially true for some gaming industry workers watching the live stream. They were already completely numb to it. It was because even if they wanted, they couldn¡¯t figure out how Su Ping had done it. Angelica held the USB on the table in her hand, full of anticipation. Her expression was very solemn and formal. It was as if she wasn¡¯t holding a USB drive but a treasure that had been passed down for generations. Su Ping teased with a smile. ¡°Haha! It¡¯s just a gift for you. You don¡¯t have to be so careful. The USB drive won¡¯t break even if you drop it.¡± Upon hearing it, Angelica immediately shook her head and said. ¡°That won¡¯t do! Even if the USB drive doesn¡¯t break, I¡¯ll be heartbroken if it drops to the ground!¡± ¡°Moreover, this is a gift that you¡¯ve specially prepared for me. I can¡¯t drop it!¡± As soon as Angelica finished speaking, the live stream room viewers teased. [Shush! They are lovey-dovey again! I knew these two guys wouldn¡¯t do anything good while they did a live stream together!] [Can¡¯t you two consider the feelings of the viewers? Can you two not show off your love in public?! You¡¯ll be struck by lightning if you do it!] [Although I want to condemn these two people in the live stream room, I don¡¯t know why, but I just can¡¯t leave the live stream room. I¡¯m probably sick!] [Me too! Although I¡¯m envious when watching them being lovey-dovey every time, even if I have to cry, I¡¯ll watch the live stream from beginning to end!] Angelica¡¯s pretty face was slightly blushed. She pretended not to see the live stream room comments and quickly plugged the USB drive into her computer. A folder quickly appeared on the desktop, and Angelica could feel her hand holding the mouse, trembling slightly. It was because she was very excited. Angelica was about to reveal the answer. She wanted to know what Su Ping had prepared for her! Could it be World War II? Or a brand-new game series? Whatever the answer was, it was a huge temptation for Angelica. Angelica¡¯s loyal fans were right. She was no ordinary girl. Angelica¡¯s favorite things weren¡¯t expensive cosmetics or beautiful clothes but the most entertaining games! It was also why Angelica became a game streamer and continued to improve her skills and become stronger and stronger in the game! Looking at the excited Angelica, Su Ping finally let out a breath of relief. Su Ping thought, ¡°It seems like I¡¯ve chosen the right gift. Giving Angelica a game is always the right choice.¡± Finally, after scanning the USB drive, Angelica opened the folder and immediately saw a subfolder inside. The file¡¯s name was The Matrix I! Angelica and the millions of live stream room viewers were stunned when they saw the title. Obviously, everyone was thinking about what the title meant. Soon, the live stream room viewers began to speculate and analyze it. [The Matrix? Could it be a game related to coding? What¡¯s this for? Is the game trying to make the players a professional in coding?] [I don¡¯t think so. There¡¯s a very high threshold to be good at coding. If that¡¯s the case, doesn¡¯t it mean players have to have a certain level of computer skills to play the game? It is impossible!] [The Matrix I? Why did you add a number at the end? Could it be that this game is like the Zombie Apocalypse series? It¡¯s also a series of games?] [Oh my goodness! If Su Ping is telling the truth, he did prepare a whole new series! I¡¯m looking forward to it!] [No matter what, I believe that since Su Ping made this game, it won¡¯t disappoint us!] [That¡¯s right! Su Ping¡¯s games must be of the best quality! It definitely won¡¯t go wrong!] The live stream room viewers had already begun to discuss World War Z enthusiastically, guessing the game¡¯s main content. As for Angelica, she had already double-clicked the mouse and couldn¡¯t wait to start installing the game on her computer. Angelica could only feel her heart beating rapidly. The last time she had that feeling was when Su Ping gave her World War Z! Angelica felt like she was opening a blind box. She thought, ¡°What kind of surprise will be waiting for me?¡± Meanwhile, Angelica¡¯s live stream room had already surpassed four million concurrent viewers, and the number was increasing rapidly! Tonight, Angelica¡¯s live stream room would probably create a new historical record, and no one could break it except herself! Chapter 164 - 164 A New Masterpiece? 164 A New Masterpiece? Soon, Angelica began to install The Matrix I on her computer. While the game was being installed, Angelica and Su Ping began to interact with the comments. Many viewers were discussing what kind of story Su Ping¡¯s new game series would tell. Could it be related to the apocalypse, just like Zombie Apocalypse? After all, Su Ping released eight games, almost all set in the apocalyptic world. Under such circumstances, it was reasonable for the players to think that Su Ping¡¯s new game, The Matrix, was related to the apocalypse. [Su Ping, can you tell us what kind of game The Matrix I is?] [That¡¯s right! Su Ping, this is the first time we¡¯ve heard of this game. You didn¡¯t give any notice, though. If Angelica starts the game right away, everyone will be dumbfounded!] [Angelica, please ask Su Ping to give us some spoilers so we can understand the game when you play it later!] Looking at the comments, Angelica said to Su Ping with a smile. ¡°Look! Everyone is urging you to reveal the game¡¯s information. Do you want to satisfy my live stream room viewers¡¯ wish?¡± Su Ping chuckled at Angelica¡¯s words. ¡°Haha! Since Angelica has asked, then I¡¯ll reluctantly fulfill your wishes.¡± The viewers immediately criticized Su Ping in the comment section after he finished his words. Clearly, Su Ping¡¯s obedience to Angelica made the viewers envious again. Angelica¡¯s small face blushed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal. Since Angelica and Su Ping had known each other for a long time and interacted with each other many times¡­ Angelica had developed a strong resistance to Su Ping¡¯s flirtatious words. She wouldn¡¯t be shy easily. Or rather, Angelica was much more mature than before. Su Ping pointed at the computer and said. ¡°Since my game is called The Matrix I, can everyone think about what it means?¡± ¡°I think everyone should be able to understand what ¡®hacker¡¯ means, right?¡± Su Ping didn¡¯t tell the live stream room viewers what story The Matrix was about. Instead, he was trying to lead the players to make guesses by beating around the bush. It was Su Ping¡¯s favorite technique. It would be too boring if Su Ping told everyone the correct answer. Only by allowing the players to participate in the process of guessing and reasoning to obtain the correct answer would the players have a stronger sense of accomplishment. Su Ping has made many games and had his unique ideas on how to give the players a better experience in the game. Hearing Su Ping¡¯s words, the live stream room viewers started to talk at once. [Of course, I know. Isn¡¯t a hacker someone who¡¯s extremely good at network technology?] [That¡¯s right! Besides hackers, there are also white hat hackers in the world. Is Su Ping¡¯s game to make the player one of the characters to fight against the enemy?] [Is it a multiplayer game? But it is clearly a single-player game!] [I don¡¯t get it. Could it be that Su Ping wants the players to learn hacking skills in the game? However, the difficulty and threshold of the game will be too great!] No matter how the players guessed, nobody could get to the point. Su Ping didn¡¯t waste too much time on the matter. Soon, he said calmly. ¡°I¡¯m going to ask everyone another question. If our technology reaches a new height one day, robots can replace humans to do all kinds of things¡­.¡± ¡°Then is there a possibility that robots will eventually rule our world?¡± ¡°After all, even if the robots have rigorous logic in their programs to prevent them from harming us, humans¡­.¡± ¡°However, we can¡¯t guarantee that there won¡¯t be a chosen one. This robot will develop consciousness and then take over the control panel to complete the counterattack against the creator!¡± ¡°In the end, the robots ruled the world!¡± ¡°If we humans want to regain the initiative under the rule of the robots or even regain our freedom, we may need the best hackers!¡± ¡°They will enter the robot¡¯s programming network and return to reality, thus saving all mankind!¡± Su Ping¡¯s words had brought millions of viewers into a world they had never seen before. Here, the robots ruled the planet, and humans could only struggle to survive under the pressure of the robots. Under the captivity of robots, humans had lost all of their former pride and could only struggle while facing death! At this time, a group of the world¡¯s top hackers inherited their predecessors¡¯ technology and began using their leading hacker technology to fight against the robots! Their ultimate goal was to end the war between humans and robots so humans could live in a better world again. Su Ping didn¡¯t specifically point out the main ways to play the game, but the information he revealed was enough for the players to get a glimpse of the vast world in the game. After Su Ping finished his words, the number of comments in the live stream room immediately decreased because everyone had begun to fantasize about what the world in the game would look like. Even Angelica, sitting next to Su Ping, seemed to fall into deep thought. As a loyal fan of Su Ping¡¯s games, Angelica deeply understood Su Ping. Meanwhile, she felt that The Matrix series that Su Ping would release would be a new peak and a milestone in gaming history! Angelica¡¯s heart was filled with anticipation. She looked at the installation progress bar on the computer screen while her heart filled with anxiety. Angelica wished the progress bar could reach 100% so she could quickly play and experience the game¡¯s charm immediately! While Su Ping was telling the story about The Matrix, the number of concurrent viewers was still soaring. Finally, the number of concurrent viewers broke the five million mark! Such a terrifying number had already reached a new peak in the history of live streaming. It was five million concurrent viewers! Moreover, they weren¡¯t ghost viewers but real viewers watching the live stream! Chapter 165 - 165 A Game That Makes the Players Puzzled 165 A Game That Makes the Players Puzzled [It¡¯s so scary! The game hasn¡¯t even officially started yet, but Angelica¡¯s live stream room has reached five million concurrent viewers! If Angelica starts playing the game in a while, how many more people will watch her live stream?!] [Angelica is definitely the top streamer in the world now. I believe that even those famous global stars can¡¯t be as popular as her!] [Now I know why Angelica and Su Ping are so close. Not only is Su Ping talented and handsome, but he can also be of great help to her career!] [That¡¯s right! If I were a woman, I won¡¯t be able to resist falling in love with a handsome man who has a good personality and can provide me with such help!] [I can only say that Angelica and Su Ping are a match made in heaven. Sigh, I¡¯d better focus on the game. I¡¯m not jealous at all about who his girlfriend is as long as I can play Su Ping¡¯s game!] [By the way, Su Ping and Angelica haven¡¯t confessed to each other yet, have they?] [What does that matter? They have already looked like they are dating now, right?] While millions of viewers were waiting, the game¡¯s installation progress bar on Angelica¡¯s computer screen finally reached 100%! When the game was installed, Angelica immediately grabbed the mouse and double-clicked the game icon as if she had a reflex. Afterward, Angelica quickly put on the immersive experience equipment and entered the game. Angelica couldn¡¯t wait to play The Matrix I. When the live stream room viewers saw Angelica start the game in front of their screens, many couldn¡¯t help but be envious. Angelica loved to play games. However, how many people among the live stream room viewers didn¡¯t hope they could play the game? Seeing that Angelica was playing a game that only she could play in the world, many players even felt that they weren¡¯t interested in Zombie Apocalypse: The Final Chapter that they had just downloaded on their computers anymore. After all, as the saying goes, what you can¡¯t get is the best. Angelica was currently the only player of The Matrix in the entire world. Many people were jealous of Angelica as a result of the situation. Su Ping had received many private messages from female fans and players on his personal account. For example, some female fans told Su Ping that they wanted to give birth to a baby for him, or wanted to be his girlfriend. To be able to play Su Ping¡¯s games earlier, some girls even¡­ They were even willing to travel thousands of miles to find Su Ping. They would never refuse Su Ping, no matter what he asked them to do. Such a condition was enough to make anyone¡¯s imagination run wild. The ridiculous thing was that many boys had left messages for Su Ping, hoping to get special treatment from Su Ping with some conditions that were hard for him to speak out. Of course, Su Ping had never given any reply to these people. He had always been a conservative person. Apart from Angelica, Su Ping had no friends in real life. After all, Su Ping didn¡¯t belong to this world. He had come to a world that was unfamiliar to him. Su Ping didn¡¯t know anyone here, even if the person in his phone contact list should be his friend. However, Su Ping was no longer the former Su Ping, which made him unfamiliar with his ¡°friends¡± in the contact list. Finally, everyone watched Angelica successfully enter The Matrix I. Soon, the game began to load. Surprisingly, the game didn¡¯t play any plot animation at the beginning of this time. In other words, it was different from the Zombie Apocalypse series, where players were introduced to the game before they were allowed to play. As soon as Angelica opened her eyes, she realized she was sleeping in a place that looked like a rental house. On the table in front of Angelica was an old computer. ¡°Wow! It turns out that I¡¯m seeing such a computer! This model should be stopped production twenty years ago, right? It¡¯s giving off a retro vibe!¡± ¡°It seems like the era of The Matrix is very far away from the present!¡± Looking at the computer on the table, Angelica immediately made a judgment based on the information. The era that this game belonged to was at least 20 years ago, or even more. After all, the computer with such a retro design was part of many people¡¯s childhood memories. It was probably still in use at the beginning of the 21st century. However, in the next few years, such kinds of computers would be eliminated because it would be the era of personal computers. The live stream room viewers also expressed their feelings when they saw the computer. [What a sense of the times!] [I almost forgot what the computer used to look like. Haha! I still remember playing with such a computer at my grandfather¡¯s house when I was young. There were only some single-player games on the computer at that time.] [I¡¯m missing those times. I have to say, this game made me feel warm at the beginning!] [Speaking of which, where is Angelica right now? Is this rental house her home in the game?] Angelica couldn¡¯t interact with the live stream room viewers for the time being. Since she knew nothing about the game at the moment, she was more eager to find out useful information. Just as Angelica was looking around the rental house, planning to look for information related to the address, she suddenly saw the cursor on the computer screen begin to flash. Afterward, a few lines of words appeared in front of her. Angelica immediately sat in front of the computer and realized that someone seemed to be communicating with her through the computer. Angelica immediately replied with a question mark because she had no idea who the other party was. ¡°It¡¯s weird¡­ Why will someone contact me through the computer? Is this some kind of chat software?¡± Angelica was confused by the situation. At this moment, the person on the other side of the chat seemed to be silent for a moment before sending a new message. ¡°Follow the white rabbit!¡± Upon seeing the message, Angelica was stunned. Angelica muttered to herself. ¡°Follow the white rabbit? What does it mean? Is there a rabbit in this room?¡± Angelica was puzzled and had no idea what that message meant. The live stream room viewers also helped to analyze the meaning of the sentence. However, despite seeing numerous comments, Angelica was not convinced by any of them. It was clear that the game had so far given out insufficiently useful information. Even an experienced player like Angelica didn¡¯t know what to do. Chapter 166 - 166 Follow the White Rabbit 166 Follow the White Rabbit When Angelica didn¡¯t know what to do next, someone knocked on the rental house door. After all, Angelica was in an unfamiliar place, and the games she ad played before were all the Zombie Apocalypse series games. Hence, when Angelica heard the sound of the door opening, she was shocked and almost jumped out of bed. ¡°Phew, it scared me. What¡¯s outside the door? Could it be that zombies also exist in The Matrix?¡± Angelica subconsciously associated the style of The Matrix with the Zombie Apocalypse series. However, many players disagreed with Angelica¡¯s opinion. [The name of this game has nothing to do with zombies, so it shouldn¡¯t have anything to do with the Zombie Apocalypse series!] [That¡¯s right! Besides, didn¡¯t Su Ping say before that this game should be about the story between a human and robots? I think Angelica must have played the Zombie Apocalypse series too much!] [It appears that the host really needs to switch things up and try a new game. Otherwise, the host will become a fool sooner or later. At that time, she has no other games to play except for the Zombie Apocalypse series!] [Haha! Angelica is so cute! She is shocked just because someone knocked on the door!] Angelica looked at the comments and took a deep breath to calm down. At this moment, someone knocked on the door again, and Angelica finally came to the door and opened it gently. Angelica was ready now. If there were any dangers outside, she could react immediately. However, after opening the door, Angelica found that it wasn¡¯t a zombie standing outside but a few young people. One of them was a woman who seemed to be the girlfriend of one of the boys. Only then did Angelica discover she was playing a male character in The Matrix I. Angelica¡¯s character was a very tall man. At this moment, a man outside the door spoke. It turned out that these people were here to do business with Angelica. Angelica¡¯s character seemed to be in some kind of illegal deal with people on the internet in the rental house, mainly smuggling some drugs. Following the instructions given by the game system, Angelica quickly took out the medicine that the man needed from the room and handed it to him. While seeing the three young men in front of her, Angelica¡¯s attention momentarily turned to the female. Angelica¡¯s eyes were fixed on the tattoo on the girl¡¯s arm. It was because the pattern of the tattoo was a rabbit! Angelica immediately thought of the message she had just seen on the computer screen. ¡°Follow the white rabbit!¡± Angelica immediately realized that she had grasped the key issue, which might help her trigger the next plot of the game. Just as the three young men were about to leave, Angelica quickly said. ¡°By the way, where are you guys planning to go?¡± As they had just closed a deal, the three of them weren¡¯t guarded against Angelica. They might have done similar business with Angelica¡¯s character many times in the past. The boy immediately replied. ¡°We are going to the bar.¡± After replying, the boy left with his companions. Angelica returned to her room. It was time to make a decision. Some live stream room viewers noticed that Angelica was acting unusually. [Host, are you alright? Why do you look so conflicted? What¡¯s going on?] [Don¡¯t you guys notice? The host just got a message asking her to follow the white rabbit. Then, there seemed to be a rabbit tattoo on the girl¡¯s body. That girl is likely to be an important clue!] [What are you waiting for? Didn¡¯t those people say they were going to a bar? Host, hurry up and follow them. Otherwise, if you can¡¯t trigger the following plot, you won¡¯t be able to continue playing the game!] [That¡¯s right! Host, why are you hesitating? There¡¯s nothing in this rental house except for an old computer. Are you going to stay here and play house?] Looking at the comments, Angelica quickly made a decision. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll pack up and head to the bar immediately!¡± Angelica quickly went to the bathroom to wash her face and wake herself up. Afterward, Angelica put on her coat and left the rental house. Soon enough, Angelica found a bar nearby, which should be the place the young men were going. However, Angelica didn¡¯t know what to do after entering the bar. It was extremely noisy in the bar. The people here were wantonly venting the vitality of their bodies, enjoying their young bodies and passion. Angelica had always been a good girl in real life. Moreover, she had never been to a bar since she was young. It was because Angelica¡¯s favorite pastime was not going to bars but rather playing games. Hence, Angelica seemed very unaccustomed to the bar at this moment. She even looked a little out of place. The scene immediately caused many live stream room viewers to tease and laugh at her. [Haha! Don¡¯t tell me there are still people who haven¡¯t been to a bar in this era?!] [What?! It turns out that Angelica is so pure. She has never been to such a fun place as a bar before?! Then you¡¯ve missed out on a lot of interesting things!] [By the way, has Angelica never attended reunions with her friends or classmates? How could there be someone who hasn¡¯t even been to the bar?] [I suggest Angelica go to a bar to experience it in real life. A life without going to a bar is incomplete!] [I think it¡¯s fine that Angelica only likes to play games at home. Angelica, don¡¯t listen to what they¡¯re saying. Do what you like! You don¡¯t have to do what other people tell you!] Angelica wasn¡¯t offended when she saw the viewers commenting on her living habits. After all, Angelica was a streamer, so it was fine for her to be discussed by the viewers. Moreover, many people defended her and gave her a lot of reasonable life suggestions in the comments. Such comments had warmed Angelica¡¯s heart. ¡°Thank you for your concern. You¡¯re right! I¡¯ve never been to a bar before. Haha! I didn¡¯t expect my first time in a bar would be in a game!¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going to find out where the girl with the rabbit tattoo is. Everyone, please enjoy the live stream.¡± ¡°Everyone, please don¡¯t quarrel in the live stream room. Everyone has their own choices. I hope everyone can be happy when watching the live stream.¡± Chapter 167 - 167 Whats the Matrix? 167 What¡¯s the Matrix? After Angelica finished her words, she began walking back and forth in the bar, even taking a glass of wine on the way. This way, she could integrate into the bar and avoid arousing suspicion. After all, if a person were to walk around the bar sneakily, it would be easy for the bar¡¯s security guards to notice. Just as Angelica searched for the girl, a stranger suddenly stood in her path and blocked her way. Angelica realized that it was a tall woman, and the woman looked cool. Angelica even felt a sense of security from the woman. Moreover, the woman¡¯s appearance was stunning. Even if Angelica was a girl in real life, she was conquered by the woman¡¯s appearance. ¡°What a beautiful woman, but why did she stop me?¡± Just as Angelica was feeling puzzled about the situation, the woman spoke. ¡°My name is Trinity. You¡¯re being hunted by the Matrix. You¡¯re in danger!¡± ¡°But don¡¯t worry, someone will guide you and keep you safe!¡± The woman named Trinity provided limited information to Angelica, only telling her she was in danger. Moreover, the Matrix that Trinity mentioned made Angelica even more confused. ¡°Do any of you know what a Matrix is? What is the woman talking about?¡± ¡°Why would the Matrix pursue me without reason? What did my character do in this world before?¡± Angelica was dumbfounded. She had no idea what to do next. However, Trinity didn¡¯t provide Angelica with any more information. She left after she finished her words. Angelica had no choice and could only return to her rented house. The live stream room viewers were also discussing the information provided by Trinity. [The woman just now said that the Matrix was pursuing Angelica. Could it be that the Zerg have taken over this planet? Why do I feel like it¡¯s related to the Zerg?] [I don¡¯t think it has anything to do with the Zerg. Why haven¡¯t we seen any Zergs if they exist in this world?] [I think the Matrix refers to another thing, but we have too little information. We can¡¯t even make a judgment!] [That¡¯s right! I feel like this game is so difficult. It makes players at a loss on how to clear it smoothly.] [I feel that the plot that Angelica is going through now is similar to a beginner¡¯s guide. Do you guys feel that way?] [A beginner¡¯s guide? It does make sense!] [That¡¯s right! It¡¯s a beginner¡¯s guide. After all, there¡¯s no story introduction at the beginning of the game, and the players don¡¯t have a clear worldview. Therefore, the story guide at the beginning is important!] [Actually, Angelica doesn¡¯t have to be in such a hurry. She can just continue to do her own things step by step.] Angelica had paused the game to look for some useful information in the comments. After all, most of the people who came to watch her live stream were loyal fans of Su Ping¡¯s games. They had all played many of Su Ping¡¯s games. Therefore, there would always be a few players who have rich gaming experience who would give Angelica helpful advice. ¡°Everyone¡¯s right. This is probably a beginner¡¯s guide. In that case, I¡¯ll go to work tomorrow.¡± ¡°Maybe the plot will appear on its own!¡± Angelica quickly decided to play it safe and not change the original life trajectory of her game character. The next morning, Angelica arrived at her workplace according to the information provided by the game system. It was a company, and Angelica was just an ordinary employee. After that, Angelica found her work desk and started working. Of course, Angelica was just putting on an act in the game. She believed that if the plot advanced by itself, a new plot would appear soon. Sure enough, Angelica soon received a delivery. Moreover, the parcel was placed in a big box. Angelica had no idea what was in the box, but it was quite heavy. However, after Angelica opened the box, she was surprised to find a mobile phone in it! ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why will someone send me a cell phone?¡± Angelica looked at the phone in confusion. She was aware of the time in which the game¡¯s setting was set. It was in the previous century. Mobile phones were considered expensive items in this era. Therefore, it was easy for Angelica to be suspicious that someone would send a phone to her. Angelica didn¡¯t have much time to consider the situation. Soon, the phone rang after Angelica opened it. Upon hearing the phone ring, Angelica was shocked. At first, Angelica thought she had pressed some button on her phone, but she quickly confirmed it wasn¡¯t her mistake. [Hurry up and pick up the phone!] [Angelica, what are you waiting for? I¡¯m sure that this call is related to the following plot!] [Hurry up and answer the phone! Stop wasting time!] Angelica was urged in the comments by viewers in the live stream room. Angelica no longer hesitated and pressed the answer button. Afterward, a man¡¯s deep voice came out of the phone. It was a voice that Angelica was unfamiliar with. He definitely wasn¡¯t one of the young men Angelica had seen yesterday, she was certain of it. [It¡¯s a new NPC!] [It¡¯s indeed a new plot. Hurry up and listen to what this man is going to say!] [He looks like a rich man since he gave Angelica a satellite phone as a gift!] [Have you ever thought of why this man gave Angelica such an expensive gift? Angelica is a man in this game!] [Could it be¡­?] [It can¡¯t be¡­ Although Angelica plays a quite handsome male character in the game, it can¡¯t be that she¡¯s taken a fancy to other men, right?] Meanwhile, many live stream room viewers¡¯ imaginations had run wild. The viewers thought that the man on the phone might have taken a fancy to Angelica, which was why he gave her an expensive satellite phone as a gift. However, Angelica scoffed at such a guess. Chapter 168 - 168 Did She Lose? Or She Didnt? 168 Did She Lose? Or She Didn¡¯t? At this moment, Angelica couldn¡¯t care about the viewers¡¯ discussion. She was talking to the man on the other side of the phone. However, the man¡¯s words once again made Angelica confused. ¡°Now, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is trying to arrest you. Do you remember what Trinity told you yesterday? You¡¯ve been targeted by the Matrix!¡± Upon hearing it, Angelica immediately panicked. ¡°Is the Matrix chasing after me again?¡± ¡°So what the heck is the Matrix?¡± Angelica immediately asked it, but the man only told her that she would know the answer to the question sooner or later, but not now. Suddenly, Angelica saw some men in black suits and sunglasses appear at the office stairs. They seemed to be asking the other employees some questions. At this moment, Angelica suddenly realized that her colleague was pointing at her! Upon seeing the scene, goosebumps covered Angelica¡¯s whole body. She immediately realized that the guy on the phone was telling the truth! Someone was really after her! Angelica immediately asked, ¡°What should I do now?¡± The man on the phone immediately replied, ¡°Do as I say, and I can help you leave this building safely!¡± At this point, there was no one else that Angelica could choose to trust. Moreover, those men in black suits had already arrived at Angelica¡¯s office floor. It was obvious that they were coming for her. Therefore, Angelica trusted the man and followed his instructions to shuttle back and forth in the office. Angelica kept her body down and used the desk¡¯s cover to constantly escape the pursuit of the men in black suits while moving. Angelica didn¡¯t know how the man on the phone would know the precise movements of everyone in the room. It was as if he had a God¡¯s perspective. However, the man gave Angelica precise instructions on the phone and helped her to avoid the men in black suits¡¯ vision every time. Finally, Angelica arrived at an empty room. The men in black suits hadn¡¯t caught her for the time being. Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the live stream room had become quite tense. Every viewer stared at the screen, looking forward to Angelica¡¯s following actions. [Damn! Who is the man on the phone? Why does he seem to know everything?!] [That¡¯s right! The man seems to have omniscience. I¡¯ve looked at the surveillance camera in the office and found that it has been there for a long time. How did the man know all the information?] [It¡¯s so strange. Now I suddenly understand why this game is called The Matrix! Could the man on the phone be a hacker who hacked into the company¡¯s surveillance system?] Angelica didn¡¯t even have time to look at the comments. She was still following the command of the man on the phone. ¡°Now, go to the window and then go outside the window. You can reach another room if you stick to the glass and turn the corner.¡± ¡°As long as you hide there, no one will be able to find you!¡± After hearing it, Angelica went to the edge of the building step by step. However, climbing up the glass, she suddenly looked down and almost fell on her butt. It was because the place was too high! Only then did Angelica remember that her office was located in a building with more than twenty floors! The steps outside that could help Angelica stand were only about 30 to 40 centimeters wide. She almost stuck her entire body to the glass to ensure she wouldn¡¯t fall while walking. However, the men in black suits were about to catch up, and the man on the phone kept urging Angelica to move quickly. Finally, Angelica gritted her teeth, opened the window, and climbed out. However, as soon as Angelica went outside, the strong wind from high above kept blowing on her body. At this moment, Angelica accidentally dropped the satellite phone in her clothes. Angelica was doomed because she couldn¡¯t contact the man without her phone. Meanwhile, Angelica was forced into a dead end. She hesitated about whether she should continue doing what the man said. In the end, Angelica still couldn¡¯t overcome her fear of high altitude and climb back through the window. Afterward, men in black suits found the room and arrested Angelica. Seeing the scene, the live stream room viewers instantly started to comment, and everyone began to ridicule Angelica for being arrested. Of course, the viewers didn¡¯t have malicious intentions and were just joking with Angelica. [Haha! Angelica finally lost the game! What a historical moment!] [Angelica is finally going to die. Her undefeated record has been completely broken!] [Woo-hoo! It is a moment that should be celebrated!] [This time, Angelica can no longer say that she has never failed in a game. Haha! Now Angelica is the same as us!] [However, isn¡¯t the game¡¯s difficulty too great when even Angelica screwed up?] [The building isn¡¯t very tall, though. Isn¡¯t it easy to climb over the window sill? I think Angelica was caught because of her acrophobia. If it were someone else, they would clear the game in minutes!] Meanwhile, Angelica was being escorted all the way downstairs by the men in black suits. Afterward, she was stuffed into the car in front of the company. Angelica was a little puzzled by the scene. Angelica thought, ¡°I¡¯ve been caught, so why isn¡¯t the game over yet?¡± ¡°Could it be that in this game, as long as players didn¡¯t die, the game wouldn¡¯t be considered a failure?¡± ¡°But now, I have no weapons and have been captured by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Do I have a chance to escape?¡± Angelica was confused and had no idea what the game was up to. Some of the live stream room viewers finally realized that something was wrong. [Why? Why isn¡¯t the game over yet? Angelica has already been caught, so why is the game still going on?] [Could it be that being caught is part of the game plot?] [No way¡­ Doesn¡¯t that mean that Angelica hasn¡¯t failed yet? Then wouldn¡¯t we have turned ourselves into clowns when we laughed at her just now?] [Damn it! Su Ping must have secretly helped Angelica!] [There must be an inside story!] Chapter 169 - 169 Agent Smith 169 Agent Smith After being captured by the special agents, Angelica was sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Afterward, she was locked in a small room with only a table and two chairs. It was the first time Angelica had visited such a place. In reality, she had always been a law-abiding good citizen and had never committed crimes. Not to mention being captured by the special agents and locked up in such a small black room. [Haha! Could it be considered Angelica¡¯s first experience breaking the law in the game?] [Angelica didn¡¯t seem to have done anything. Why is she captured by the special agents and locked up in this room?] [I feel like Angelica is going to trigger a crucial game plot, but it¡¯s too funny to go to jail in the game! Haha!] [It¡¯s about me playing the game but being caught and sent to jail by an NPC!] Seeing that Angelica had been locked in a room, the live stream room viewers couldn¡¯t help but start to tease her. After all, being imprisoned in the game sounded unbelievable but also hilarious. Not to mention that this time, the person in prison was a cute girl like Angelica. Being in prison and Angelica formed a strong contrast, which immediately caused the viewers to discuss the matter enthusiastically. However, Angelica wasn¡¯t locked up in the room alone for too long. The special agent who had captured Angelica soon brought two subordinates into the room. The person in the lead called himself Smith. He sat down in front of Angelica and flipped through the folder in his hand. At this moment, Angelica started to get nervous. After all, she had never experienced such a thing in real life. Even though it was a game, the room gave off a strong oppressive feeling. When she was first captured, Angelica even had the urge to quit the game immediately. In the end, Angelica forced herself to hold back and kept telling herself that it was just a game. It was through such a method that Angelica finally accepted her current situation. Agent Smith quickly found a page in the document and said. ¡°Mr. Anderson, according to our investigation, you are involved in many cases of cybercrimes. We can charge you based on what you have done.¡± ¡°You might end up in jail, and you won¡¯t be able to get out of prison shortly!¡± Agent Smith went straight to the point and listed all the evidence of Angelica¡¯s crimes, which Angelica had expected. After all, they were all the Federal Bureau of Investigation¡¯s special agents. It was a doddle for them to find out what her game character had done. However, Angelica still immediately defended herself, claiming that she didn¡¯t commit any crime and that everything was just a mistake in their investigation. However, Agent Smith smiled, and obviously, he didn¡¯t believe Angelica¡¯s words. After a while, Agent Smith finally revealed his actual purpose. It turned out that Agent Smith had been threatening and threatening Angelica all this time because his ultimate goal was to get information about Morpheus from her! Morpheus was a hacker who often caused trouble for the Federal Bureau of Investigation on the internet. Hence, the special agents really wanted to catch him. Smith brought his subordinates to capture Angelica because they discovered that the hacker named Morpheus had contacted Angelica! Hence, they immediately targeted the location of Angelica¡¯s office and went to arrest her. Angelica was perplexed because she had no idea who Morpheus was nor who the other hackers were. Hence, Angelica naturally couldn¡¯t provide any helpful information to Agent Smith. ¡°I don¡¯t know who Morpheus that you mentioned is. I¡¯m just an ordinary citizen. I¡¯ve always been working hard for my work and life. I¡¯ve never done anything illegal!¡± ¡°You have no reason to treat me in such a way. You must let me go immediately! You are illegally detention me!¡± Angelica¡¯s response became more and more aggressive. Obviously, she had no intention of cooperating with Agent Smith¡¯s interrogation. However, Agent Smith didn¡¯t seem angry at all when facing such a tough Angelica. At this moment, for some reason, Angelica felt that Agent Smith¡¯s expression wasn¡¯t normal! [Why do I feel like Agent Smith is a little creepy?] [Me too! Smith¡¯s expression seems a little stiff sometimes. So who is he? Is he an important NPC in this game?] [Angelica¡¯s performance just now was so tough. Surprisingly, she can maintain such an aura even when facing a Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent. I¡¯ve discovered something new today!] [Did Angelica eat something wrong that made her so harsh today? If it were me, I definitely wouldn¡¯t dare speak to a Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent in such a way!] [It¡¯s just a game, anyway. Even if Angelica fights with them, she won¡¯t be hurt and can just restart the game!] Just as the live stream room viewers were ridiculing Angelica¡¯s actions and analyzing Agent Smith, who was in front of her¡­ Agent Smith suddenly took out a capsule-like object from his pocket. After opening it, a sticky substance leaked out. After the mass of substances fell on the table, it began to wriggle. Afterward, it turned into an extremely disgusting bug! To be precise, it was a mechanical bug! A large amount of mucus covered the surface of the mechanical bug, which made people feel even more disgusted with it. As a girl, Angelica¡¯s stomach churned when she saw such a disgusting thing. ¡°What the hell is this?! It looks so disgusting!¡± ¡°Hurry up and take this disgusting thing away from me! Don¡¯t let it get close to me!¡± Angelica kept shrinking back, but the chair completely bound her body, and she had no way of leaving this place. What happened next made her even more terrified. Agent Smith approached her with the bug! Chapter 170 - 170 You Traumatized Me 170 You Traumatized Me No matter what, Angelica didn¡¯t want to touch the worm, so she struggled frantically. She was trying to escape from this place. However, Agent Smith¡¯s two subordinates weren¡¯t just for show. They immediately stepped forward and held Angelica¡¯s body down. Then, they lifted Angelica from the chair and placed her on the table in front of them. Angelica struggled with all her might, but it was to no avail. [Fuck?! What are these agents trying to do to Angelica?! Angelica is a man in this game! Don¡¯t tell me Agent Smith and the two guys beside him are gay?!] [Oh no! Are they going to take away Angelica¡¯s first time as a man just like that?!] [Haha! Moreover, it¡¯s taken away by the game¡¯s NPCs! It¡¯s ridiculous! Wait, don¡¯t tell me that such a thing will really happen?!] [Oh, my eyes! Speaking of which, why aren¡¯t we playing a female character in this game? If not¡­] [Hey! What are you thinking in your head? Be careful that the Federal Bureau of Investigation special agents knock on your door. If that happens, you¡¯re doomed!] At this moment, Angelica was being tortured by the three special agents, but the scene was entertaining for the live stream room viewers. Initially, everyone watched the live stream for fun. Hence, the viewers would naturally like to see content like the host was tortured by the game content. Especially when a sweet and cute girl like Angelica was being tortured in front of them, it gave people a strong visual impact. Many people who didn¡¯t watch Angelica¡¯s live stream chose to stay after seeing the scene. Everyone wanted to see what the three agents would do to Angelica. Everyone wondered, ¡°Will they really do something inappropriate to Angelica?¡± Afterward, the agents lifted Angelica¡¯s top and revealed her flat stomach. The scene once again made countless live stream room viewers exclaim, and they all commented in surprise. [What the heck?! It can¡¯t be for real, right? Is the host really going to be raped by the NPCs in the game?] [Host, I suggest you quit this game now. I feel like this game isn¡¯t normal!] [Is it Su Ping¡¯s revenge against Angelica?] [Haha! I wonder if Angelica regrets asking Su Ping for a present now. This present is indeed hard to accept!] Just as the live stream room viewers were making fun of the matter, Agent Smith finally approached Angelica with the sticky mechanical bug. Afterward, Agent Smith put the mechanical bug in his hand directly into Angelica¡¯s stomach in front of her. The mechanical bug crawled on Angelica¡¯s body, giving her goosebumps. However, Angelica was currently being held down by three agents, and there was no way for her to struggle or escape. Angelica could only watch helplessly as the mechanical bug crawled around her stomach. It seemed like it was touching her belly button with its front tentacles. Suddenly, the bug went into Angelica¡¯s belly button, terrifying the scene. The visual impact was strong. Many live stream room viewers almost vomited everything they had eaten that night. Angelica was so frightened that she was almost kicked out of the game. Afterward, Angelica felt her vision turn black, and she lost control of her body. As an experienced player, Angelica knew that her in-game body had fainted because of it. At that moment, Angelica paused the game and took off the immersive experience device. She glared at Su Ping, who was sitting next to her. Angelica said angrily. ¡°Su Ping, did you do it on purpose? Why did you put such a disgusting bug in the game? Moreover, this bug is trying to burrow into my body. Do you know how disgusting that is?¡± ¡°Before you made this game, have you ever experienced what it feels like to have these bugs crawl into your body?¡± ¡°I¡¯m about to go crazy while playing this game. What are you thinking to create such a game plot?!¡± Finally, even Angelica, who had a gentle personality and had never lost her composure in front of Su Ping, couldn¡¯t hold back her anger. At this moment, Angelica couldn¡¯t help but yell at Su Ping after she took off her equipment. She even yelled at him in front of millions of viewers. Only Angelica knew her fear and despair when the worm burrowed into her body. The key point was that Angelica had to watch such a terrible scene happen, which was the most unacceptable thing for her. If the plot of the game were that the bug had already entered Angelica¡¯s body when she woke up, it would be easier for her to accept. However, as Angelica watched the bug enter the belly button, she felt her stomach churn whenever she thought of the scene. Even though Angelica had temporarily left the game, she still felt uncomfortable. Angelica had the impression that something had crept into her body reality and was wreaking havoc all over. After listening to Angelica¡¯s words and looking at her growl at Su Ping, the live stream room viewers burst into laughter. [Haha! It seems like Su Ping has pissed Angelica off this time!] [That¡¯s right! This game is Su Ping¡¯s gift to Angelica. How can he give such a thing to a girl? It¡¯s just like a prank!] [Even a girl like Angelica, who likes to play games, is angry at Su Ping. I suggest that Su Ping should reflect on his wrongdoings!] [That¡¯s right! As a die-hard fan of Angelica, I can¡¯t stand it anymore. It isn¡¯t a gift. It¡¯s just a game that tortures the players!] [I support Angelica¡¯s denouncement of Su Ping. If Angelica hadn¡¯t experienced the game in advance, we players would have been the ones who had bugs crawling into our bodies!] [Fuck! I found out that you¡¯re telling the truth! We can¡¯t let Su Ping continue to do this! Otherwise, who knows what kind of game he will make to disgust the players?] Su Ping felt helpless and innocent in the face of the accusations from Angelica and the live stream room viewers. It was because the system created the game! Chapter 171 - 171 Its All a Dream? 171 It¡¯s All a Dream? Of course, Su Ping would never tell anyone about the system¡¯s existence. After all, it was the source of his ability to create games. Moreover, even if Su Ping told everyone about his transmigration and the system, everyone might not believe him, and it might even bring him huge trouble. Being imprisoned in a lab to undergo various experiments was a minor inconvenience once something beyond the realm of common sense in science was revealed. Being treated as a lab rat and sliced into pieces for experiments was the real tragedy! Su Ping didn¡¯t want to spend the rest of his life locked up in a dark laboratory. Su Ping¡¯s brain began to work quickly, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation. Su Ping had to come up with an explanation that could make everyone accept it and not have any more doubts about him. After thinking for a while, Su Ping apologized. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Angelica. When I was making this game, I didn¡¯t think that the scene just now would traumatize the players.¡± ¡°Actually, I made a game rendering engine to make games faster. I can make games so quickly because I have this tool.¡± ¡°Hence, there will definitely be many situations that aren¡¯t under my control when I¡¯m making the game. I¡¯m very sorry about it!¡± ¡°I promise that if there is such a game plot in the future, I will definitely hint to the players so that they can choose whether to complete the plot.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. Please forgive me this time!¡± Su Ping¡¯s attitude was sincere because he was well aware of the impact that the scene of the bugs entering the player¡¯s body would have on people. Su Ping could still remember the first time he watched The Matrix. He was so disgusted by the scene that it could even be considered a childhood trauma. Even though Angelica was very angry, the strong emotions she had shown before were mostly because she was scared and disgusted by the scenes in the game. It was impossible for Angelica to hate Su Ping for a game. Now that Su Ping had apologized to her sincerely, Angelica¡¯s anger had dissipated. She couldn¡¯t keep harping on the matter anymore. Therefore, Angelica raised her chin and looked at Su Ping with pride. ¡°Then, are you going to make this kind of plot again in the future?¡± Su Ping shook his head. ¡°Of course not! In the future, I¡¯ll try to make pleasant plots. What do you think?¡± ¡°If you think there¡¯s anything that needs to be changed, I¡¯ll go back and change the game details immediately. It definitely won¡¯t happen again!¡± After Su Ping¡¯s promise, Angelica finally smiled. ¡°Hmph! At least you¡¯ve learned your lesson. Then I won¡¯t continue to be entangled in this matter.¡± ¡°However, if you try to scare me with the game plots again, I¡¯ll be angry and ignore you!¡± Su Ping nodded once more as she observed Angelica pouting and acting furious. He raised his hand as if he were making a vow. ¡°I promise that such a problem will never happen in the future!¡± Finally, after Su Ping gave repeated assurances, Angelica let him go. Meanwhile, millions of people who watched the live stream regretted endorsing Angelica¡¯s criticism of Su Ping. [Fuck! You two can stop now. You¡¯re publicly showing off your affection on the live stream again! Can¡¯t you let a singleton like me watch the live stream happily?] [I knew it. I knew it would end up like this. You two adulterous couples will never consider our feelings in the live stream room. You¡¯re acting as lovey-dovey as you pleased. This is illegal!] [This is too much! Angelica has fallen into Su Ping¡¯s trap. Angelica, how can you let him off so easily when he created such a disgusting plot to corrupt your mind?!] [Shit! Why can¡¯t I meet such an understanding girl like Angelica? I also want to have such a gentle girlfriend!] The live stream room was filled with the cries of singletons, but at this moment, Angelica¡¯s mood had brightened again. After all, everything that happened before was part of the game. After a while, Angelica realized she wasn¡¯t that repulsed by the current situation. Besides, Su Ping had consoled her in front of so many viewers in the live stream room, which was rare. He said she would always be in his best interests, which warmed Angelica¡¯s heart. Therefore, Angelica quickly put on the immersive experience device again and returned to the game. However, when Angelica chose to continue the game, regained control of her body, and opened her eyes again¡­ She was surprised that she was back in the rented house and was lying on the bed. It seemed like she was sleeping. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Is everything that happened just a dream?¡± Angelica was completely confused by the current situation. Angelica was still in the Federal Bureau of Investigation interrogation room before she fainted. That time, she was being tortured and interrogated by Smith and the other two agents. However, Angelica was back on her bed in the rental house, and it was already nighttime after she closed her eyes and opened them again. Moreover, she was sleeping in her bed. Angelica felt that her little brain was too small to process the situation. It was only then that Angelica noticed that it seemed to be raining heavily outside. The raindrops kept hitting the skylight glass, giving off the feeling that something terrible would happen. Angelica believed that everything that had happened before was not a dream. ¡°That bug is definitely still in my body! Everything that happened before is true!¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t know why I¡¯m back on my bed in the rented house!¡± Angelica spoke firmly in the live stream room. After all, she was a very experienced gamer and immediately made a firm judgment on the situation. Most live-stream room viewers supported Angelica¡¯s statement. After all, the image of the bug entering Angelica¡¯s body just now left a deep impression in everyone¡¯s heart. If that were a dream, all the suffering that Angelica had gone through would have been in vain! When Angelica was at a loss for what to do, her phone suddenly rang. After picking up the phone, Angelica found out that the person who had called her was the hacker Agent Smith had been looking for, Morpheus! That guy wanted to meet Angelica now! Chapter 172 - 172 Red or Blue, Choose One 172 Red or Blue, Choose One Actually, Angelica was curious about Morpheus. After all, the reason Angelica had been tortured and interrogated by Agent Smith was that Smith wanted to get information about Morpheus¡¯ whereabouts from her. However, Angelica had never seen Morpheus before, so she naturally couldn¡¯t agree to Agent Smith¡¯s request. In the end, Agent Smith put a bug in her body. On the phone, Morpheus directly invited Angelica out to meet him, but he didn¡¯t tell her his true identity. At this moment, the live stream room viewers also began to urge Angelica to agree. [Hurry up and agree! What are you hesitating over? It is obvious that Morpheus is a key character in the following plot!] [That¡¯s right! He must be an important person since he knows your phone number and is being hunted down by Agent Smith!] [Stop hesitating! You¡¯ll be doomed if the call is eavesdropped on by the Federal Bureau of Investigation!] Angelica also knew that it might be the start of a new plot, and she had no choice at all. Moreover, there was probably a mechanical bug in her body. She didn¡¯t know what to do if she didn¡¯t meet Morpheus. Hence, Angelica quickly decided to agree to Morpheus¡¯s request to meet. It was still raining heavily outside, and it took Angelica a lot of effort to arrive at the agreed-upon bridge. Afterward, a black car stopped beside Angelica. However, as soon as Angelica got in, two women in the back seat took control of her body. One of the women was holding a strange-looking machine. She lifted Angelica¡¯s clothes and put the machine on her stomach. It gave Angelica a huge shock. Angelica thought, ¡°Smith has just put a bug in my body not long ago, but why are these people taking off my clothes now?¡± Angelica was traumatized to see people lifting her clothes. However, one of the women quickly explained. ¡°Don¡¯t move! The bug Smith put in your body is a tracker. You¡¯ll only be safe after you take it out!¡± Upon hearing it, Angelica¡¯s hair stood on end. Angelica thought, ¡°There is really a bug in my body! Everything that happened before isn¡¯t a dream!¡± ¡°That disgusting bug is a tracker?!¡± ¡°What kind of technology is this?¡± ¡°Was technology this advanced in the previous century?¡± [What¡¯s going on? Can we create such a bug-shaped tracking device?] [Of course, we can¡¯t! Don¡¯t you see how realistic that bug is? It looks like a real worm! Even now, our technology isn¡¯t that advanced!] [So the world and technology in this game should be considered a parallel world? Is there a huge difference between this and the real world?] [Obviously, it¡¯s the truth. There seems to be some incredible technology in this game. However, it¡¯s normal since it¡¯s just a game!] [So now these two women are going to take the bug out of Angelica¡¯s body? Damn! I¡¯m nauseated just thinking about it!] After listening to the two women¡¯s words, the live stream room viewers also discussed the bug. The viewers were now fully aware of how drastically different the technological advancement in the game world was from that in reality. This game world seemed to be from the last century, which should have been decades ago. However, in this game world, there seemed to be many technologies that weren¡¯t available even in the modern era. Soon, the two women in the car aimed the machine at Angelica¡¯s belly button. Afterward, they activated the machine, and Angelica felt a terrible suction from her stomach. She sensed that something was being drawn from her body. She even felt that her intestines were being sucked out. Afterward, a large pool of blood mixed with the residue of mechanical and biological limbs appeared in the can of the machine. It was obvious that the bug had been caught by the two women using the machine. Moreover, the worms had already been killed when it was sucked out! Looking at the remains of the dead bug, Angelica felt her scalp go numb. The scene of Agent Smith stuffing the bug into her body at the Federal Bureau of Investigation seemed to appear in her mind again. ¡°Phew, I¡¯ve finally taken out the bug. But it¡¯s strange. I didn¡¯t feel uncomfortable when the bug was in my body!¡± ¡°However, it still makes me feel disgusted. I can¡¯t accept such a disgusting thing in my body!¡± Angelica looked at the bug¡¯s corpse in the jar with disgust and complained. At this moment, many live stream room viewers were cursing the bug. After all, the bug had brought too much mental pollution to the players. Finally, as the bug in Angelica¡¯s body was removed by the machine, Morpheus, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. ¡°We¡¯re here.¡± Then, Angelica and the others got out of the car and walked into a small building next door. The building was spacious as if no one lived there on a normal day. Soon, they arrived upstairs and came to a spacious room. There was a fireplace, a small table, and two large couches in the room. Morpheus sat on one of the couches and had Angelica sit opposite him. However, Morpheus¡¯ following words left Angelica dumbfounded again. ¡°I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve already noticed that there¡¯s something wrong with this world.¡± ¡°And I also know that you¡¯ve always been very curious about what the Matrix is, right?¡± After hearing it, Angelica immediately nodded. She then asked Morpheus, ¡°What exactly is the Matrix?¡± However, Morpheus still maintained his previous style and didn¡¯t give Angelica the answer directly. Morpheus then took out a small box from his pocket containing two pills of different colors. The two pills were red and blue. Morpheus then said with a weird smile. ¡°I can give you a chance to see the real Matrix. You only have to do one thing, and that is to eat this red pill!¡± Chapter 173 - 173 Morpheus, the Ultimate Riddler 173 Morpheus, the Ultimate Riddler After hearing it, Angelica looked at the two different-colored pills in Morpheus¡¯ palms. In disbelief, she inquired. ¡°What if I eat the blue pill?¡± Morpheus replied with a faint smile. ¡°If you choose to take the blue pill, you will forget everything that happened before. You will still live as an ordinary person in this world until you die of old age.¡± ¡°So now, the choice that will decide your fate has been placed in front of you. You can choose whether to eat the red pill to see the truth of this world and the Matrix?¡± ¡°Or choose to forget everything and continue your ordinary life?¡± ¡°Remember, you only have one chance to choose. Once you take the pill, you will never be able to regret it!¡± Morpheus fell silent after he finished speaking. He didn¡¯t urge or try to induce Angelica to eat one of the pills. Obviously, Morpheus had given Angelica the right to choose. In such a situation, Angelica had no other choice. If she were a person who lived in this game world, she might have hesitated. After all, her life trajectory would be completely changed from this moment on. It was tough to decide on such an important life event. Unfortunately, Angelica was a player. She wanted to not be an ordinary person in this world, to work honestly, and to die of old age. Furthermore, Angelica believed that if she ate the blue pill, the game would be over! To clear the game smoothly, Angelica didn¡¯t hesitate at all. She grabbed the red pill in Morpheus¡¯ hand. Morpheus said with a gratified smile. ¡°Congratulations! You have made the right choice. You will see the real world, and you will never regret the decision you have made now!¡± Angelica still didn¡¯t know what Morpheus¡¯ words meant, but she quickly swallowed the pill in her hand. Afterward, a woman in the room activated the machine. The mirror next to her suddenly turned pure black, and there seemed to be ink flowing in the mirror. Angelica reached out to touch it and found that the black substance had started to spread along her body. Morpheus, on the other hand, loudly urged the woman to speed up. The woman replied, ¡°I¡¯m already looking for him! I¡¯m about to find him¡­ I¡¯ve found him!¡± Angelica couldn¡¯t understand their conversation and thought, ¡°What are they looking for?¡± ¡°What was the black substance on my body?¡± Just as all sorts of questions and doubts appeared in Angelica¡¯s mind, her vision turned dark again. Obviously, the game has started a new plot, and new resources should be loading now. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Angelica temporarily removed the equipment on her body and paused the game. For some reason, Angelica felt that the atmosphere in the game was a little too depressing when she was playing The Matrix I. It soon consumed her energy, even though she hadn¡¯t fought in the game yet. However, after playing for a while, Angelica was already feeling a little tired. ¡°Wow! The atmosphere of this game is so depressing. Does anyone know what Morpheus is going to show me?¡± ¡°And what exactly is the Matrix? And what is the real world he mentioned?¡± Angelica started interacting with the live stream room viewers for the time being, constantly asking them questions about the game. As the saying goes, the onlooker sees the game more clearly than the player. Although Angelica¡¯s strength was slightly stronger than the live stream room viewers¡­ However, Angelica had always been in the game world, so she might ignore some details. The live stream room viewers often noticed many things that she didn¡¯t notice. That was why Angelica wanted to ask the viewers if she had missed anything. However, the viewers¡¯ answer made Angelica feel slightly disappointed. Angelica thought, ¡°Sigh, these guys didn¡¯t get any useful information.¡± Since Angelica started playing The Matrix, the game hadn¡¯t shown any crucial information. For example, what were the game¡¯s background and setting? What kind of role did the player play in this game? What was their goal if they wanted to win the game? The game had never shown such pieces of information to the players as if the information were some huge secret that couldn¡¯t be told to anyone. Angelica wasn¡¯t used to the new game mode. Angelica had played the entire Zombie Apocalypse series and was used to the feeling of having a clear goal at the start and working hard to achieve it. [I don¡¯t know. The game has provided too little information. All we know is that there¡¯s something wrong with this world.] [That¡¯s right! I feel like if we want to know what the game wants the players to do, we should take the red pill and wait for the game to reveal everything to the players after they wake up!] [Sigh, the pace of this game is so slow. Angelica has been playing for so long but she doesn¡¯t even know what the goal is!] [Maybe Su Ping is trying out a new game mode. But so far, the plot of the game is still acceptable. It seems to be a good thing.] [That¡¯s right! After all, everyone is already tired of the Zombie Apocalypse series. If the new game continues to follow such a plot style, Su Ping might not be able to make a better game!] Looking at the various suggestions and understandings given by the players in the comment section, Angelica still couldn¡¯t find any useful information. It seemed that Su Ping had made up his mind when he was making the game. He wouldn¡¯t let the players find out the truth of the world on their own. ¡°Su Ping, you¡¯re such a miser. You¡¯ve hidden all the information so well. You can¡¯t do this in the next game. I¡¯m still confused even though I¡¯ve played until this point!¡± Angelica couldn¡¯t help but complain to Su Ping, who was sitting next to her. After all, the game producer was sitting right next to her, so Angelica could be considered to have obtained a VIP spot to complain. After hearing Angelica¡¯s words, Su Ping looked like he accepted her suggestion with an open mind. Su Ping, on the other hand, was helplessly thinking in his heart. ¡°This game is created by the system. I can¡¯t change it, though.¡± Chapter 174 - 174 Tethering Humans 174 Tethering Humans After a while, Angelica finally returned to the game, and her in-game body had already woken up. However, as soon as Angelica connected to the game, she immediately felt that something was wrong with her surroundings. She felt her body soaking in a large liquid-filled pod as if she were in a swimming pool. Angelica immediately opened her eyes and sat up on the spot as if it were a conditioned reflex. At this moment, Angelica was completely stunned when she saw the scene in front of her. She had no idea how to describe her feelings. Angelica didn¡¯t even know how to describe the scene in front of her in words. Other than Angelica, the live stream room viewers also stopped commenting in the comment section at this moment. It was because all the millions of live stream room viewers were completely shocked by the scene that Angelica saw. Everyone¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief when they looked at the scene before them. Some even rubbed their eyes, thinking that their eyes were playing tricks on them. Millions of viewers eventually returned to reality and started to comment after a while. At this moment, Angelica was no longer in the room she had been in, but in a place that looked like a water tank. Angelica¡¯s entire body was soaked in the liquid in the pod, which was why she felt like she was in the pool when she woke up. However, the liquid in the tank wasn¡¯t natural water. Angelica was soaking in it naked, so she could naturally figure out that the liquid was probably some kind of nutrient solution. Angelica was able to determine the purpose of the water tank quickly. The same pods were everywhere in Angelica¡¯s field of vision. They were like giant towers created by the prehistoric civilization, connecting the sky and the earth. If every pod contained a sleeping person, how many people were trapped in such a pod? Angelica only felt that her brain was too little. She discovered some machines floating in the air, doing something constantly around the pods carrying humans. Angelica didn¡¯t know the purpose of the machines or what they were used for. [Oh my goodness! Where is this? Why did Angelica suddenly come to such a place?] [It looks so scary here! Could it be that there¡¯s a person inside each of these pods? It¡¯s too creepy!] [Although the scene is indeed spectacular, I don¡¯t know why I feel nauseated. It¡¯s simply ridiculous!] [Don¡¯t you feel that this place is like a fetus field? Or rather, it¡¯s a machine factory where humans are kept in captivity?] [Fuck! What kind of story is this game telling? Why are humans being kept in these pods? Who is the ruler of this world? Why is he doing it?] [We¡¯ve already witnessed the surrounding situations. Brothers, do you still think that the rulers of this world are humans?] Suddenly, someone commented on it, and it instantly silenced many people who were watching the live stream. At this moment, many experienced players began to recall the experiences that Angelica had in the game. The Matrix, the hacker, and Agent Smith¡¯s unnatural and weird expressions. After considering the hints¡­ The viewers thought of something terrifying. However, everyone still lacked some crucial evidence. Moreover, since such a guess was too absurd, nobody was confident enough to express their thoughts. Meanwhile, everyone was still dealing with the shock that had just emerged in their hearts. They were trying to calm themselves as much as possible. Angelica sat in the pod filled with nutrient solution and was at a loss about what she should do. Suddenly, Angelica felt something pulling at her back. She reached out to touch her back, but she found that she seemed to have grabbed a tube! Angelica turned around and was shocked. Angelica couldn¡¯t control herself and screamed. ¡°Aah! What the heck is this? Why is it connected to me? What the hell is going on?!¡± Everyone saw that several metal tubes were connected from the back of Angelica¡¯s head all the way down to her spine. Even her brain wasn¡¯t spared by the metal tubes. It was obvious that the metal tubes were controlling Angelica¡¯s body. Just as Angelica was beginning to wonder what the tubes were for¡­ ¡°Bang! Bang! Bang!¡± All the metal tubes bounced out of Angelica¡¯s body, and she felt as if something were being pulled out of her body. Angelica had a subtle feeling, but it was definitely not a comfortable experience. Angelica let out a muffled groan. Afterward, a hole appeared at the bottom of the culture chamber. Angelica¡¯s body was instantly flushed down with the nutrient solution. She felt like she was in a drain, and her body slid down with the nutrient solution. Finally, after an unknown time, Angelica suddenly felt nothing under her feet, and her whole body began to fall directly from the air. Afterward, with a plop, she fell into a pool completely made of nutrient solution. Angelica tried her best to float up from the pond. When she just poked her head out of the pond, she saw a spaceship floating in the air, slowly approaching her. Afterward, a mechanical arm stretched out from the spaceship, grabbed Angelica¡¯s body, and began pulling her upward. Since Angelica had just woken up and had just gone through an exciting event, her body wasn¡¯t yet fully recovered. Soon, Angelica¡¯s vision turned black, and it was clear that her in-game body had fallen unconscious again. Afterward, Angelica immediately paused the game, took off all her equipment, looked at Su Ping with her bright eyes, and said in a serious tone. ¡°Su Ping, what the heck is going on in the game just now?¡± ¡°Why did I appear in such a strange place? What are those pods with nutrient fluids? Are there humans trapped inside?!¡± Angelica also asked the question that was on the minds of countless viewers. Everyone wanted to know what was going on. Chapter 175 - 175 The Truth of the World 175 The Truth of the World When facing Angelica¡¯s question, Su Ping only smiled at her and said to the camera. ¡°Everyone, I know that you must have countless questions in your hearts, and you all want to know the answers to these questions.¡± ¡°Actually, I really want to tell everyone the answers, but this way, you might not be as shocked when you find out the truth later.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to be a Riddler, but if everyone believes me, for the sake of your gaming experience, please allow me to refuse to answer these questions.¡± As soon as Su Ping finished his words, the live stream room viewers all expressed their condemnations in the comment section. [Fuck! Su Ping, why are you acting like a hypocrite? He said he doesn¡¯t want to be a Riddler but look at Angelica! She¡¯s still confused about this game even though she has played until this point!] [That¡¯s right! Su Ping! Can you just admit that you like to torture the players? Why do you have to come up with so many glorified excuses?] [Tsk-tsk! Su Ping is such a liar. Su Ping wouldn¡¯t disclose any game information. I knew that! The thing he enjoys the most is watching the players suffer!] [Angelica, don¡¯t ever hang out with this guy again! Don¡¯t believe his nonsense! He¡¯s a scumbag!] [Angelica, now you witnessed Su Ping¡¯s true colors! He isn¡¯t human at all! He¡¯s just a pervert!] Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers immediately started to persuade Angelica to see Su Ping¡¯s true colors. Unfortunately, they failed. After hearing Su Ping¡¯s explanation, as Su Ping¡¯s number one fangirl, Angelica nodded her head and said seriously. ¡°Was what you said just now true? You can¡¯t lie to me!¡± Looking at Angelica¡¯s innocent face, Su Ping nodded at once and said with certainty. ¡°Of course, I¡¯m a dog if I lied to you!¡± After hearing it, Angelica couldn¡¯t help but laugh. She had forgotten all the torture she had suffered in the game. ¡°Haha! I¡¯m relieved. Although everyone says you love to torture players, I believe you definitely won¡¯t do it since this game is a gift from you!¡± ¡°Then I won¡¯t ask you. I¡¯ll continue to play and clear this game smoothly!¡± Meanwhile, many live stream room viewers were disappointed when they saw Angelica act in such a way. Besides, they were not only unhappy with Su Ping but they were also jealous. After all, among the players who loved to play games, everyone had the same dream, and that was to have a girlfriend who could play games with them. Angelica unquestionably fulfilled their dreams, and the most important point was that Angelica was a beautiful and lovely girl! Angelica was good-looking, gentle, and understanding. Moreover, she liked to play games! How could such a good girl be tricked away by Su Ping?! At this moment, countless live stream room viewers wished they could find Su Ping¡¯s house and beat him up! All the good cabbage crops have been ruined by the pigs! After interacting with viewers for a while, Angelica returned to the game. At this moment, Angelica¡¯s in-game body had also woken up, and she didn¡¯t know how long it had been. However, after Angelica woke up, she quickly saw Morpheus. Afterward, Morpheus brought Angelica to a device and motioned for her to lie down on it. After all, Angelica knew nothing about this world since she was in someone else¡¯s territory. She had no idea what the world was like. Hence, she had no other choice but to believe Morpheus. Afterward, Angelica lay down on the device. Suddenly, she felt something stabbed into her body, and she couldn¡¯t help but tremble. The hearts of the millions of live stream room viewers also trembled when they saw the scene. It was because they saw Morpheus holding a metal device and directly inserting it into Angelica¡¯s brain! In addition, a hole behind Angelica¡¯s head could be used to insert the metal device into her brain! Finally, the viewers remembered that Angelica had been in the nutrient solution-filled device. Moreover, her body seemed to be covered with similar metal devices. [This¡­ Is this some kind of brain-computer interface technology?] [It looks like the legendary brain-computer interface technology. Oh my goodness! Isn¡¯t the world set in the last century? Why is there even a technology like a brain-computer interface exists?!] [I¡¯m now seriously suspecting that there¡¯s a huge secret behind this game, and the secret should be revealed soon!] [This world has even developed brain-computer interface technology. It seems like brain-computer interface technology is very mature in this world. What era is this?] [Could it be that the world that Angelica previously lived in was completely fake? Is that a virtual world?] [I¡¯m getting more and more interested in this game. The background and worldview of this game are far beyond our imagination!] [Fuck! I suddenly feel so excited! What¡¯s going on?] At this moment, countless live stream room viewers praised Morpheus¡¯ brain-computer interface technology. It was because such technology was something that humans had always dreamed of. People wanted to use such technology to allow the human brain to be as powerful as a computer. Moreover, through such technology, humans could enter a completely virtual world. Compared to current immersive experience technology, the virtual world would be much more realistic. It would open up countless new universes that would be the same as reality! Even now, brain-computer interface technology only existed in theory and science fiction, which was why the live stream room viewers were so shocked. After all, it was a technology that didn¡¯t exist in reality. It was ¡°black technology¡± that didn¡¯t belong to this era! Angelica felt as if her soul had entered a whole new world. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a completely white world. There were only her and Morpheus in this world. Angelica asked in a confused tone right away. ¡°Where is this place?¡± ¡°Why do you bring me here?¡± Chapter 176 - 176 A Shocking Worldview 176 A Shocking Worldview Angelica¡¯s question was also on the minds of the millions of live stream room viewers. Hearing it, Morpheus revealed a mysterious smile and then snapped his fingers. Countless cabinets filled with weapons appeared in the pure white space. The scene made Angelica and the live stream room viewers even more convinced that the device in Morpheus¡¯ hand was the brain-computer interface technology. Moreover, the space Angelica was in right now should be a completely virtual place. Angelica was shocked. She looked at the weapon cabinets around her and found that they all looked realistic. When Angelica touched it, she found that it was no different from touching its physical form. Morpheus then began to slowly tell the truth about this world. ¡°The place you are in right now is a virtual space.¡± ¡°The Matrix that I¡¯ve been telling you about is also a virtual space, but that space is even more spacious, almost simulating an entire planet!¡± ¡°Billions of humans are living in the Matrix.¡± Hearing it, Angelica immediately asked. ¡°But why do humans have to live in a virtual world created by the Matrix? Are there no more humans in the real world?¡± After hearing Angelica¡¯s question, Morpheus continued. ¡°Of course not, but I¡¯ll give you the answer to this question later.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to tell you why all humans are living in the Matrix now.¡± ¡°In the second half of the twentieth century, humans achieved rapid development in machine technology. However, one of these machines awakened.¡± ¡°This machine has its own consciousness. To resist the control and rule of humans over the machines, it controlled all the machines made by humans and started a war with humans.¡± ¡°In the end, humans lost the war, and the planet fell under the control of machines!¡± ¡°However, humans used a weapon that could completely block out the sky and cut off the sunlight during the war. The weapon had caused the machines to lose their energy source.¡± ¡°Therefore, after defeating the humans, the machines soon faced a life-and-death crisis. They must find an alternative energy source to survive in this world.¡± ¡°Ultimately, the bioelectricity produced by the human body was in the machine¡¯s crosshairs. Although the current is weak, the energy produced by thousands or even hundreds of millions of humans is very impressive.¡± ¡°From then on, the machines began to use these nutrient pods to keep humans in captivity, trapping them in these pods.¡± ¡°However, the machines soon found out that if humans lived in the nutrient pods unconscious like the walking dead, they would often die in many inexplicable ways.¡± ¡°Moreover, the bioelectric power generated can¡¯t meet the needs of the machine if the human body remains in an inactive state.¡± ¡°In such a situation, the Matrix was born. The machines allowed the human consciousness to live in the virtual world built by the Matrix. Everyone lived in that place since they were born.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why most people in the world don¡¯t know that they¡¯re living in a virtual world. Only a few people can discover the unreasonable and illogical things in their lives and awaken.¡± ¡°Our goal is to find these people and rescue them from the Matrix. We will resist the rule of machines with all the awakened humans living in the real world and restore the freedom of all humankind!¡± As Morpheus said it, a magnificent world was already displayed in the minds of Angelica and the millions of live stream room viewers. During the war between humanity and intelligent machines, the machines¡¯ intelligence was awakened, they enslaved humankind and harvested their bioelectric power. All humans lived in the virtual world built by the Matrix¡­ Each of these pieces of information was enough to make one¡¯s imagination run wild. Without a doubt, the world in this game was also set in an apocalyptic world. However, this time, it wasn¡¯t zombies or alien monsters that ruled the world, but machines made by humans! In today¡¯s era, the topic of whether artificial intelligence should be developed has been often discussed, and countless scientists and ordinary people have joined in the debate. Therefore, the topic of whether machines would betray humanity and whether they would have independent thoughts was no longer a minor issue. The background and worldview of The Matrix resonated with the viewers in the live stream room in such circumstances. Everyone couldn¡¯t help but wonder, ¡°Will the situations that happened in The Matrix I one day appear in reality?¡± Although The Matrix I was just a game, nobody was confident that the machines created by humans wouldn¡¯t betray their creator in the future. [What a broad worldview! How can Su Ping always create such shocking plots?] [That¡¯s right! What the heck is Su Ping¡¯s brain made of? How can he always come up with so many interesting ideas?] [I have to say, now I understand why Su Ping didn¡¯t tell us the background of this game. I feel goosebumps all over my body. The feeling is too shocking!] [It turns out that we¡¯ve misunderstood Su Ping. He didn¡¯t hide the truth on purpose. If he had spoiled the story for us in advance, our gaming experience would¡¯ve been affected!] [The Matrix I have already won my heart. I hope this game can be released soon so that I can go to this world and experience the war between humans and machines!] [Fuck! When will The Matrix I be released? Su Ping, can¡¯t you just tell us the truth and stop torturing us?] [Su Ping, we¡¯re wrong, okay? No one will say anything bad about you anymore. Please release The Matrix I!] Morpheus¡¯ introduction revealed a vast world to the viewers. At this moment, everyone¡¯s heart was filled with yearning for this world. Everyone couldn¡¯t wait to experience this world that made people feel despair and was completely ruled by cold machines. Morpheus was still explaining the world¡¯s current situation to Angelica in the game. Morpheus explained why the world had become like this and what the Matrix was. Afterward, Morpheus was going to answer the question related to Angelica. Morpheus would answer why he chose to save Angelica and the secret behind it. Chapter 177 - 177 You Are the Savior 177 You Are the Savior Morpheus continued. ¡°A long time ago, when the machines had just taken over humanity, the first awakened appeared among the humans. We called him the Savior.¡± ¡°The Savior can control the changes in the Matrix with his will, and thus accomplish things that ordinary people can¡¯t do.¡± ¡°The Savior had successfully rescued the first batch of humans trapped in the Matrix. These people came to reality and formed the Resistance.¡± ¡°They also built the last human city, Zion. It is the last hope of humankind!¡± ¡°When the Savior was on the verge of death, he made a prophecy that he would reincarnate in the future. When that time came, he would lead the humans to continue to resist the rule of the Matrix.¡± ¡°Moreover, he will help humanity completely defeat the Matrix and free all of humanity!¡± ¡°I believe that you are the reincarnation of the Savior!¡± It turned into a fantasy at the end of the story. Angelica didn¡¯t know why Morpheus was certain that she was the reincarnation of the Savior. Was it because she was a player? However, Morpheus didn¡¯t give Angelica a definitive answer to the question. He only asked her to explore her potential. Morpheus was sure that Angelica was the Savior! [Why do I feel the game starts to be uncanny? Why is he mentioning the Savior and reincarnation? Isn¡¯t this a sci-fi game?] [Haha! It must be the player¡¯s mission. In this game, players need to lead the Resistance to defeat the machines and regain their freedom.] [That¡¯s right! It seems that if we want to clear the game, we must defeat the machines!] [Don¡¯t bother about the Savior or whatever. We are players, so we are naturally different from these NPCs. They indeed should call us the Savior!] After the live stream room viewers teased the game plot for a while, Angelica also learned a lot of martial arts and combat skills through the brain-computer interface technology in the game. To put it bluntly, Angelica could use all kinds of skills in the game. As long as she wanted to, her body would automatically react. Of course, in real life, Angelica didn¡¯t know any martial arts or combat skills. However, in the game, after training in brain-computer interface, she had become a master tactician! It was a wonderful feeling, and Angelica couldn¡¯t describe what kind of experience it was. In short, it was like lying on the bed and directly inputting the programs and codes of the combat skills into the brain, and learning it. [Sigh, it would be great if there were such miraculous technology in real life!] [That¡¯s right! If there¡¯s such technology in real life, we don¡¯t have to attend school anymore, right? We just have to input all the knowledge into our brains when we are old enough, right?] [It feels so good. Whoever can develop such technology in reality, I¡¯m willing to call him God!] [Haha! I don¡¯t think this kind of technology can exist at all since the human brain is complicated. It will likely cause problems if we directly stuff so much knowledge into it!] Many live stream room viewers were envious of Angelica for being able to learn combat techniques so easily. Many people began discussing what it would be like if such technology existed in reality. Of course, everyone was just casually discussing it in the live stream. No one believed such technology would be invented. The situation was no longer in the realm of science fiction, but rather a fantasy. After completing the technical training, Angelica got to know the other members of the ship under Morpheus¡¯s guidance. Although only a few acknowledged Angelica as the Savior, they welcomed her. Some crew members had always opposed Morpheus. They felt that the Savior was completely unreliable and that it was just an urban myth. However, Morpheus still supported Angelica and chose to trust her in this situation. After a while, Morpheus suddenly suggested that he wanted to take Angelica to meet the Oracle. Angelica had no idea who the Oracle was, but it sounded like she was a very important person, so she agreed. Afterward, everyone who was preparing for the operation gathered in the control room. There was enough equipment to allow everyone to enter the Matrix. Since Angelica had experienced the brain-computer interface a few times, she didn¡¯t feel it was new anymore. When the metal device was inserted into her brain, Angelica had grown accustomed to that sensation and was able to accept it in peace. After all, it was a strange feeling to have a metal object directly inserted into one¡¯s brain. Soon, Angelica found herself and her companions¡¯ bodies returning to the familiar world, a world where technology was still in the twentieth century. However, Angelica already knew that it was a fake world. Hence, she looked at the pedestrians on the street. Angelica couldn¡¯t help but have a sense of alienation between her and the humans living in this world. ¡°Do you guys know? I feel like I¡¯m not a part of this world at all. My character was still living in this place not long ago, and I still thought that everything around me was real.¡± ¡°But now, I know that everything I see here is fake. It doesn¡¯t exist at all. It¡¯s such a miraculous feeling!¡± ¡°When The Matrix I is released, I sincerely recommend everyone to play it. It¡¯s definitely an unforgettable experience!¡± ¡°It¡¯s like I¡¯m separated from the world. Oh my goodness! This game is crazy!¡± Meanwhile, Angelica, Morpheus, and the other team members were on a bus to the Oracle¡¯s residence, so she had enough time to interact with the live stream room viewers. At the same time, Angelica wanted to express her genuine feelings about the game. Undoubtedly, Angelica¡¯s words caused countless viewers to yearn for and be curious about The Matrix I. Her words were sincere and moved the live-stream room viewers. Su Ping had been watching Angelica play the game attentively. He was overjoyed to hear what she said. With Angelica¡¯s promotion, the sales of The Matrix I would probably increase by a few percent. Chapter 178 - 178 Meeting the Agents Again 178 Meeting the Agents Again Su Ping hadn¡¯t decided on the price yet. After all, the game had just been made. However, since the original movie of the game was too classic, Su Ping was unwilling to set a low price. Su Ping would feel sorry for the original author of the movie if he did that. It would be an insult to the historical status of the movie. Therefore, by then, the selling price of The Matrix I would at least exceed 200 yuan. Su Ping would earn tens of millions of yuan if the sales volume increased by a few percent! It could consider that the sincere comments Angelica had said just now would bring Su Ping a terrifying amount of income! Su Ping felt lucky that he had chosen Angelica to help him promote his game. Angelica was skilled in games and was also good at promoting his games! After a while, Angelica, Morpheus, and the others finally arrived at the Oracle¡¯s residence. It was an apartment building. Everyone took the elevator up and soon saw the Oracle. Many children were living in the Oracle¡¯s house, and Angelica soon realized that these children weren¡¯t ordinary. They seemed to have special abilities. For example, a boy could bend a metal spoon at will without using his hands or any tools. He could do it with his eyes. At first, Angelica thought the spoon was just a prop, but when she held it in her hand, she found it made of metal! The situation was an eye-opener for Angelica. As expected, the Matrix¡¯s world was full of wondrous places. Moreover, many things would be contrary to reality because everything was virtual. After a while, Morpheus came out of the kitchen and asked Angelica to meet the Oracle. However, after conversing with the Oracle, she told Angelica that she wasn¡¯t the Savior, which made Angelica a little confused. Morpheus claimed that Angelica was the Savior. Logically, he should be right since she was a player. Hence, Angelica couldn¡¯t understand why the Oracle deny her identity. She thought, ¡°Could it be that the Oracle wants me to face everything in this world calmly?¡± With questions in her heart, Angelica quickly left the place with Morpheus. Morpheus still believed that Angelica was the Savior! Even though Angelica had already told Morpheus in the elevator that the Oracle denied that she was the Savior. Angelica was even more confused. She wondered why Morpheus trusted her. Since everyone had met the Oracle, it was time for them to leave the Matrix and return to reality. However, they needed to find a telephone to let the programmers, in reality, help them return to reality from the Matrix through some operations. All they needed to do was wait for the phone to ring, and then the person who wanted to leave should answer the phone. Soon, everyone returned to the place where they first appeared. It was an empty house with no one living in it. There was a pitch-black phone in a room on the upper floor of the house. In a while, everyone would be leaving the Matrix through the phone call. However, at this moment, Angelica noticed something strange. A black cat suddenly appeared in the hallway behind them. A black cat often meant a sign of bad luck. Therefore, Angelica immediately became vigilant. Just as they reached the roof and were about to take the call and leave, the man who had been investigating in the spaceship reminded them a group of agents was approaching them. Hearing it, Morpheus immediately knew that they were exposed. As the agents were too fast, Angelica and the others didn¡¯t even have time to wait for the phone to ring one by one to send everyone off. Thus, Morpheus began to command everyone to retreat as they fought. In the end, everyone entered a mezzanine layer in the wall of the building. Everyone could slowly move down from this place. If they reached the basement, they could successfully hide from the agents upstairs and leave. Everyone pressed their bodies tightly against the wall, using the friction to descend slowly. Everyone was quiet. It was because they were only separated by a thin brick from the agents searching in the hallway. If they made a sound, the agents would definitely hear it. However, it might be because there was too much dust on the wall. One of them couldn¡¯t help but cough as he moved down. When he coughed, everyone was stunned. Afterward, everyone heard the agents¡¯ voices from the other side of the wall. The agents in the building began to pull the trigger madly at the wall in front of them, firing bullets to kill everyone inside the wall. Morpheus also knew that everyone was in a life-and-death situation. It was impossible to let everyone leave the place safely. Therefore, Morpheus smashed through the wall before him and went outside. He grabbed two agents and knocked them out. However, there are too many agents present inside the structure, making the removal of just two agents pointless. Morpheus then shouted. ¡°You guys leave this place immediately! I¡¯ll cover you!¡± Hearing it, none of the team members were willing to give up on Morpheus. However, Morpheus¡¯ eyes were clearly bloodshot as he gave another order. The team members finally realized that they would all perish if they decided to stay and aid Morpheus. Hence, the best choice was to listen to Morpheus¡¯ instructions and leave him behind so that the others could survive! At this point, Angelica could only reluctantly give up on Morpheus. Even though he was only an NPC in the game¡­ However, after getting in touch with Morpheus, Angelica could clearly feel that he was an upright hero who was willing to sacrifice himself for others. Obviously, Angelica didn¡¯t want the agents to find Morpheus, but there was nothing she could do. Now, she was just an ordinary person in the game. She didn¡¯t have any superpowers and couldn¡¯t beat the agents outside. In the end, Angelica had no choice but to leave the building through a secret passage with the rest of the team, sacrificing Morpheus! Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the live stream room was tense. The viewers were worried about Angelica¡¯s situation in the game. Chapter 179 - 179 The Traitor 179 The Traitor After giving up on Morpheus, Angelica and the rest of the team finally arrived at another log-off point. It was a backup location, and there was also a phone that could contact the spaceship. Now, as long as the operator on the spaceship called them one by one, they could separate their consciousness from the Matrix and return to reality. Soon, the phone rang, but Angelica didn¡¯t return to reality when she picked up the phone. Instead, she heard a man¡¯s voice on the phone. Angelica had some impressions of the man. He seemed to like Trinity and had been pursuing her. However, Trinity had always been indifferent to the guy. Since Angelica was only a player, she never interfered with her team members¡¯ relationships. However, the man constantly shouted at Angelica over the phone, thinking she wasn¡¯t the Savior. He believed that even the spaceship¡¯s captain, Morpheus, was a religious fanatic with a delusional disorder. He claimed that Morpheus tricked everyone! Humans couldn¡¯t defeat the Matrix. It was also impossible for them to defeat the machine and regain the entire world. Why not decide to accept the Matrix¡¯s virtual reality in this situation? Why does everyone keep struggling madly in reality? Wasn¡¯t it good to live in the Matrix? They could obtain a better life in the Matrix with their abilities. They could even use it as a bargaining chip to trade with hacker agents and get a superior social status in the Matrix. Couldn¡¯t everyone just enjoy life in the Matrix? The man¡¯s words silenced everyone at the scene. The hacker agents had already taken Morpheus hostage. At this moment, everyone finally understood that the man coughed wasn¡¯t because he choked on the dust. He did it on purpose! Moreover, the guy had deliberately left the team and returned to the spaceship ahead. The two operators on the spaceship might have been ambushed. They might even be dead! The current situation could be said to be quite dangerous for Angelica, Trinity, and others. They needed the operator¡¯s help to return to the real world from the Matrix. If they were to pull out the connector at the back of their brain, their brain would die. Since their consciousness hadn¡¯t returned to reality, the brain would think that the person was dead. Meanwhile, the man was provoking Angelica while mocking her identity as the so-called Savior. Afterward, he pulled out the connector on the back of a male crew member. In the Matrix, the male crew member instantly fell to the ground and died. The terrifying scene almost suffocated Angelica. The man was now controlling everyone¡¯s life. As long as he removed the connector at the back of their heads one by one, they would all die! Moreover, they couldn¡¯t fight back since they were in the Matrix. When watching the arrogant man, millions of live stream room viewers went furious. Previously, everyone believed that Angelica could take on the responsibility of the Savior and lead the survivors to resist the Matrix¡¯s rule. They hoped Angelica could help humans gain control of this world and successfully clear the game. However, nobody expected that before the battle with the Matrix officially began, a traitor would appear on the team! It was simply unacceptable. [Fuck! I¡¯ve long found that guy an eyesore. As expected, this guy is a damn mole! He should have started planning for today¡¯s operation long ago!] [That¡¯s right! Whether it¡¯s the attack on Angelica and the others in the apartment building or this incident, it was done by that traitor. He is too detestable!] [What a bastard! How can he betray his teammates? How can he betray his comrades who had gone through life and death with him?] [Although I know living in the Matrix will be like enjoying life in your dreams, I can¡¯t accept what the man is doing. He is betraying his teammates!] [Damn! He is too despicable! Angelica, you must find a way to survive! You must go back and kill him!] The live stream room viewers had begun to condemn the guy who had betrayed everyone, and Angelica¡¯s brain was also working at full speed. Angelica was clear about how dangerous her current situation was. It could be said that if she were careless, everyone would die! At that time, not to mention clearing the game, Angelica was afraid that she would have to restart the game to the time before the operation of entering the Matrix. She would find the man and kill him before the operation! However, Angelica didn¡¯t want to restart the game. Her ultimate goal was to clear The Matrix in one go, just like how she had successfully cleared the Zombie Apocalypse crisis. Angelica believed that no matter what decision she made, there would be a chance to reverse the current predicament. Angelica picked up the phone and kept trying to persuade the man on the other end to calm down. ¡°We can talk things over. If you¡¯re unhappy with our work, we¡¯ll support you in reconnecting with the Matrix and returning to the Matrix.¡± ¡°But please stop your actions, alright? We have all experienced life and death as teammates and companions. Please don¡¯t do such a thing again!¡± Angelica tried to sound as gentle as possible as she tried to persuade the man on the phone. However, the man had clearly gone mad and torn off his disguise. He didn¡¯t care about the lives of the crew at all. The next moment, a female crew member looked at Angelica nervously, not knowing what to do. She eventually hit the ground, just like the male crew member. Obviously, the man had also pulled out the connector behind the female crew member. The man had killed two people in a row, and only Angelica and Trinity were left at the scene! However, just as the man was about to pull off the connector behind Trinity¡¯s head and kill her¡­ Suddenly, Angelica heard some noise from the phone, and she even heard a familiar roar. Afterward, Angelica heard a series of crackling sounds from the phone. Ultimately, she finally heard the voice of an operator. Chapter 180 - 180 I Have to Do This 180 I Have to Do This [Oh, my Lord! Luckily, there¡¯s still one operator who survived. It¡¯s a blessing in disguise!] [That¡¯s right! The operator¡¯s name is¡­ I think his name is Tank?] [Haha! Good job, brother Tank! Angelica and Trinity can survive, all thanks to you! However, why do I feel that Tank¡¯s survival is a part of the plot?] [I guess it has something to do with the plot. While creating the game, Su Ping must have thought that he should remind the players that once they die in the Matrix, they will die in real life as well!] [That¡¯s right! Su Ping is demonstrating the consequences for the players. However, it¡¯s a pity that the other crew members are killed by the traitor when they did nothing wrong!] [Angelica, hurry up and get the operator to bring you back to reality. It¡¯s too dangerous here, and the special agents are likely on their way here!] Angelica looked at the comments and knew what she should do. Moreover, as things had finally taken a turn for the better, Angelica didn¡¯t want to stay in the Matrix. Hence, she immediately asked Tank to bring everyone back to the real world. Soon, Angelica and Trinity woke up from their brain-computer connection device. Meanwhile, the operator, Tank, had captured the bald man. However, Angelica and Trinity weren¡¯t in the mood to pay attention to the traitor since they had more important things to do. They were facing the problem of whether they should risk reentering the Matrix to save Morpheus or just pull out the connector at the back of his head. Angelica and Trinity would be in grave danger if they chose to risk reentering the matrix. However, if they pull out the connector, they would safely get rid of all possible safety hazards. According to the information provided by Tank and Trinity, Morpheus knew the password to enter Zion since he was the captain of the spaceship. If the agents managed to get the password from Morpheus, it would put Zion, the last city of humankind, in danger. At that time, millions of Sentinels would attack the city, and the current weak humans wouldn¡¯t be able to resist. Therefore, now that the agents have taken Morpheus hostage, it could be said that he is a huge threat to the entire human race. At this moment, Angelica was caught in a dilemma. She thought, ¡°What should I do?¡± ¡°Should I give up on Morpheus or take the risk to save him?¡± The live stream room viewers couldn¡¯t help but express their thoughts through the comments. Someone was trying to convince Angelica to leave Morpheus alone. After all, she was the Savior in the game. She could clear the game on her own as long as she was alive. However, some people also believed that since Morpheus was willing to sacrifice himself to cover the retreat for the others, Angelica shouldn¡¯t simply give up on Morpheus. Otherwise, could she face everyone with a clear conscience? Angelica kept seeing the viewers debating on the matter, and she was caught in a dilemma. After all, it was only a game, and Angelica was just a player. It wasn¡¯t the real world. Hence, was there anything wrong with her sacrificing an NPC in the game for herself to successfully clear the game? It wasn¡¯t like Angelica was going to betray or abandon her companions in real life. Therefore, sacrificing an NPC in the game wouldn¡¯t cause too much moral burden for the player. Now, no matter what choice Angelica made, there wouldn¡¯t be any problems. [Angelica, you must save Morpheus! You¡¯re not the kind of person who would abandon your teammates. I believe that¡¯s the case!] [That¡¯s right! No matter if she plays the Zombie Apocalypse series or World War Z, as long as her teammate is in danger, she will save them with all her might! She won¡¯t abandon any teammates!] [But, have you guys ever thought that if Angelica gets into danger while trying to save the captain of the spaceship, she might immediately fail the game? Do you guys want to see Angelica break her records?] [That¡¯s right! Angelica has never failed in a game until now. I am hoping she can maintain her undefeatable record!] [Let¡¯s not talk about it anymore. Let Angelica make the decision herself. It¡¯s useless no matter what we say!] [Angelica, hurry up and decide! It¡¯ll be more dangerous if you procrastinate any longer!] When Angelica was caught in a dilemma, she was also constantly looking at the live stream room comments. She wanted to know what the viewers hoped she would do. In the end, Angelica realized that the viewers¡¯ opinions were divided into two groups. They were constantly debating the matter, but none of the groups gained the upper hand. Hence, the viewers couldn¡¯t help Angelica at all. Angelica fell into deep thought. In the end, Angelica¡¯s sense of morality and justice prevailed. ¡°Everyone, I¡¯ve thought about it. If I give up on Morpheus and seek self-protection, I might never forgive myself for what I did today!¡± ¡°Although The Matrix is just a game, and everything I¡¯m experiencing in the game now is just a bunch of codes¡­.¡± ¡°However, the NPCs in this game treat me as their companion and teammate!¡± ¡°Moreover, since the game is so realistic, I feel like I¡¯m really a part of this world of despair.¡± ¡°How can I abandon my teammates and run away alone? This way, even if I successfully clear the game, I will still lose the game!¡± Angelica paused for a moment, organizing her thoughts before continuing. ¡°Hence, I must successfully rescue Morpheus from those agents!¡± ¡°Only in this way can I be considered to have completed this game perfectly and be the real winner!¡± When Angelica said all the thoughts in her heart, she made a determined decision. No matter what the viewers said or what everyone wanted her to do, Angelica¡¯s heart wouldn¡¯t waver. After listening to Angelica¡¯s words, the live stream room viewers seemed to be silent for a moment, especially those who wanted Angelica to give up Morpheus. However, the viewers started to comment in the comment section again. This time, everyone supported Angelica. [Bravo! I admit that I said something wrong just now!] [This is how the Angelica I know will act. Good job!] [Let¡¯s go, Angelica! Whatever happens, I¡¯ll still be here for you, even if you lose.] Chapter 181 - 181 The Cool Angelica 181 The Cool Angelica Angelica couldn¡¯t help but smile when she saw the viewers¡¯ supporting comments. She said sweetly. ¡°Everyone, thank you for your understanding and support. Although it¡¯s hazardous to fight the agents head-on, I believe I will succeed!¡± After interacting with the live stream room viewers, Angelica told Trinity and Tank, the operator, her thoughts. Trinity agreed with Angelica¡¯s decision. As a regular crew member who had followed Morpheus for a long time, she wouldn¡¯t easily give up on her captain. Afterward, the three began to plan how to enter the Matrix and rescue Morpheus. The operator could see everything that happened in the Matrix through the codes displayed on the computer screen. Therefore, other than some confidential information, nothing in the Matrix could escape his attention. Hence, the operator quickly found Morpheus¡¯ current location in the Matrix. ¡°Our captain is now locked up in a building by the agents. These agents should be torturing him to get the password of Zion from him!¡± ¡°Hence, we have to start moving as soon as possible. These agents seem to have some evil means that can wear down the captain¡¯s will and make him tell them the password uncontrollably!¡± The operator looked at the codes on the screen and told Angelica and Trinity his observation. The two of them looked at each other and knew that time was of the essence. They had to immediately enter the Matrix and take action. As Morpheus was locked up in a tall building by the two agents, they had to reach there by helicopter. People like Angelica who had returned to reality could easily have a helicopter in the Matrix. All they needed to do was to get the operator to retrieve data to create a helicopter before they entered the Matrix. Afterward, they have to prepare all kinds of weapons and ammunition. When everything was all set, Angelica and Trinity began the rescue operation. According to their plan, Angelica would enter the building from the main entrance with sufficient weapons and then launch an attack to get rid of all the security personnel in the building. When they reached the top floor, the agents controlled by the Matrix would naturally stop Angelica from rescuing Morpheus. Hence, it was Trinity¡¯s turn to show up. She would fly the helicopter directly to the room where Morpheus was locked up. Afterward, Trinity would use the machine guns on the helicopter to keep the agents inside under control. Meanwhile, Angelica would enter the room to rescue Morpheus and leave the building by helicopter with him. Everyone would leave the building together! After making the plan, Angelica carried two bags full of weapons, put on a coat, and stuffed a few weapons into her body so that she could use them at any time. All the weapons had been loaded with bullets. Angelica just needed to pull the trigger and Angelica could start fighting. Meanwhile, Angelica was wearing a black trench coat. She looked tall and wore sunglasses as she strode toward the building. The scene was cool and it caused many live stream room viewers to exclaim and praise the scene. [I have to say, even though Angelica is playing a male character in the game, I still feel that the character is Angelica herself!] [Haha! That¡¯s right! This man portrays Angelica¡¯s temperament. Could it be that Angelica has a male personality even though she is beautiful?] [Fuck! Now that you¡¯ve said that, why do I feel like it¡¯s even more exciting? Wouldn¡¯t it be better if Angelica was a man?] [No wonder Angelica likes to play games so much! It turns out that she has the appearance of a girl, she has a male personality!] [If that¡¯s the case, doesn¡¯t that mean that Su Ping¡¯s girlfriend is a man? Oh! My mind is a mess!] Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers began to talk nonsense while teasing Angelica¡¯s current appearance. However, at this moment, Angelica was about to face an important battle, so she naturally had no time to wrangle with the live stream room viewers. The security guard was going to examine Angelica¡¯s entire body once she entered the building. He walked over with the metal detector in his hand. The outcome was set in stone. The metal detector immediately beeped when it approached Angelica¡¯s body. The staff indicated to Angelica that she needed to take out everything she had on her, and Angelica nodded gently and did as she was told. However, immediately after that, Angelica took out two small submachine guns from her clothes and pulled the trigger at the staff in her line of sight. Soon, Angelica killed all the security personnel. Since they were just ordinary people, they would die if they were attacked. After dealing with the security personnel, Angelica picked up the bag full of weapons and walked into the building. Meanwhile, Angelica had triggered the building¡¯s alarm and a large number of security guards were coming down from upstairs to stop her. However, Angelica had already experienced hundreds of battles in the Zombie Apocalypse series. How could she fail to defeat such ordinary security guards? Moreover, Angelica had a large number of weapons, so she didn¡¯t need to load any bullets at all. After she used up the bullets in a gun, she would just take out a new one. Angelica had crushed them all along the way. The security guards were dead as soon as they appeared in front of Angelica! Angelica was like the god of death, killing wherever she went, and reaping the lives of the security guards in the building. The scene was striking, and it even made the live stream room viewers stop commenting. It was because Angelica¡¯s cool figure had caught the viewers¡¯ attention. Nobody was willing to miss a single scene of the battle. Naturally, nobody has any energy or time to write in the comment section. [Fuck! Angelica is so cool!] [That¡¯s right! Even I, a man, can feel my heart flutter. I¡¯ll make it clear first, I¡¯m only interested in women!] [Angelica is what a perfect girlfriend should look like! She enjoys playing games, is excellent at them, and is cool!] [Oh my lord! Where can I find such a perfect girlfriend? What did Su Ping do in his previous life to be able to be in a relationship with such a perfect girl like Angelica?!] [I feel like I¡¯m in love. Oh, Angelica is too strong!] Chapter 182 - 182 The Ultrakill 182 The Ultrakill Angelica didn¡¯t have the time to pay attention to the comments. After overcoming all the challenges, she finally arrived at the elevator door in the deepest part of the building. Angelica then took the elevator to the floor where Morpheus was kept. In the elevator, Angelica was still tidying up her weapons. Finally, as the elevator door slowly opened, Angelica noticed a chaotic scene. It could be said that the entire floor was about to be destroyed. The wall was full of bullet holes. However, Angelica was relieved to see the scene. As expected, Trinity was trustworthy as a teammate. She should have successfully suppressed and driven away the agents by now. Now, Angelica only needed to go to the room where Morpheus was to rescue him and board the helicopter together to leave the building. Soon enough, Angelica found the room where Morpheus was, and she found that he was in a daze. As Tank mentioned, the agents injected Morpheus with some hallucinogenic drugs to make him let down his guard and reveal all the secrets about Zion, including the password! Fortunately, Angelica and Trinity had arrived early, and the drug hadn¡¯t completely controlled Morpheus. He still had a certain level of rationality. Angelica came to Morpheus¡¯ side and helped to free him. Meanwhile, she said. ¡°It¡¯s alright! We¡¯re here to save you!¡± Meanwhile, Trinity was still controlling the helicopter, suppressing the agents outside the door, and preventing them from entering the room to undermine Angelica¡¯s rescue effort. Finally, Angelica freed Morpheus and immediately brought him to the helicopter outside the building. Trinity immediately pulled the thrust lever, and the helicopter rose quickly. She was ready to fly into the distance. Seeing the scene, most live stream room viewers thought Angelica¡¯s rescue operation was already considered a success. After all, helicopters were objects that flew in the sky. Even if the Matrix gave the agents supreme authority, they couldn¡¯t be omnipotent. Otherwise, the virtual world in the Matrix would have been in chaos long ago. The reason why the humans here could live and work in peace in this world was that they didn¡¯t know that it was fake. People thought they were in the real world and were living in the latter half of the 20th century. Therefore, the agents would usually avoid using their authority in front of ordinary people when they were completing their tasks. Otherwise, the world would have been in chaos. At that time, the Matrix would also suffer a huge loss. However, just as the helicopter was about to leave, an agent in a black suit appeared on the roof of the building. He was carrying a rocket launcher on his shoulder! Unfortunately, it was already too late when Angelica discovered the guy. The rocket was fired instantly and had already targeted the helicopter in the sky. Although Trinity tried her best to control the helicopter to avoid the rocket, it still hit the helicopter. The helicopter exploded and lost its balance. It then began to fall to the ground. The agent on the roof smiled in satisfaction and turned to leave. It was obvious that he was planning how to capture Angelica and the others with the other agents. The helicopter was still falling rapidly. Fortunately, Trinity had superb skill in controlling it and prevented everyone inside from being seriously injured. The good news was that Morpheus had regained consciousness. It made it easier for everyone to move. After a long journey, they finally arrived at a subway station by following the operator¡¯s instructions. The subway station seemed deserted. There was only an old man sitting in a chair reading the newspaper. The old man probably chose this place because it was cooler. There was a phone booth that was still functional in the subway station. Obviously, it was why the operator, Tank, had called them here. [Finally, they found the phone! Now, the rescue should be able to be completed successfully, right?] [There shouldn¡¯t be any problems. After all, there¡¯s only one old man in this station, and the agents probably had no idea where Angelica and the others go.] [Although that¡¯s true, I don¡¯t think Su Ping will let Angelica have such a smooth journey.] [Don¡¯t jinx it, brother. It isn¡¯t easy to save Morpheus. I still hope that Angelica can leave this damn place successfully!] The live stream room viewers ridiculed Angelica¡¯s current situation, and most of them thought that Angelica should be able to leave the Matrix smoothly this time. Soon, the phone in the phone booth rang. The operator was ready to bring them out of the Matrix. With just three phone calls, their rescue mission would be completed perfectly. The first ring sent Morpheus back to reality, who was in the worst condition at the moment. After all, Morpheus had been tortured by agents not long ago, so he had to return to the real world as soon as possible to rest. When it came to the second person, Angelica let the lady go first since she was playing a male character named Neo Anderson in the game. Trinity smiled at Angelica, picked up the phone, and left the Matrix. Angelica couldn¡¯t see it herself, but the live stream room viewers could see that the old man sitting on the bench reading the newspaper had his eyes wide open when he saw what happened in the phone booth not far away. The old man looked in disbelief. In response, the live stream room was immediately filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Everyone started to tease the old man. [Haha! I¡¯m dying of laughter. This old man has lived in the Matrix for his entire life, but he probably has never seen such a scene before. Look at him! It looks like the situation had subverted his worldview!] [What a pitiful old man. He could have died of old age, and that could be considered a blessing in this world. But now he has to suffer mental torture!] [The old man must have thought he saw a ghost. He must be wondering why the two people disappeared after they answered the phone.] [Isn¡¯t it considered a bug in the game? How will the Matrix eliminate these bugs when ordinary people witness such a scene?] [Most likely, they¡¯ll permit the agents to act. Otherwise, the Matrix would have been in chaos!] Chapter 183 - 183 Counter 183 Counter-Kill the Agent The live stream room viewers were all teasing the old man. However, just as the phone rang for the third time and Angelica was about to answer the phone¡­ There was a loud engine roar at the entrance of the subway station. Afterward, a truck rushed into the subway station and hit the phone booth where Angelica was. Angelica immediately realized that it wasn¡¯t an accident. The person in the car was Agent Smith. Angelica knew very well that she couldn¡¯t answer the call anymore. If Angelica continued to stand in the phone booth, she would be killed by the truck. Even if Angelica successfully answered the call, it would still take her a while to leave the Matrix. Therefore, Angelica could only give up on answering the phone for the time being. She immediately took a few steps back and avoided the collision with the truck. Agent Smith then jumped out of the car. Angelica knew that she had no way out now. She could only continue the game by fighting. Agent Smith didn¡¯t waste any more time and immediately started fighting with Angelica. Angelica took out a pistol and pulled the trigger at Agent Smith, who was walking toward her. However, at this moment, Agent Smith showed his superpowers as a part of the agent program in the Matrix. It was as if Agent Smith could predict the trajectory of Angelica¡¯s shot in advance, and his movements were fast, perfectly dodging Angelica¡¯s attacks every time. It was obvious that bullets were ineffective against the agents. Since guns were useless, Angelica could only fight hand-to-hand. Angelica began to fight with the agents. After all, before the official mission, she had inserted a sizable number of combat algorithms. Therefore, Angelica only needed to think about it, and her body could make the corresponding movements to fight the agents. With combat skills, Angelica could fight back and forth with the agents in the beginning. However, the agents were programs in the Matrix and weren¡¯t humans at all. As the fight went on, Angelica began to suffer losses. In addition to her physical and mental exhaustion, she was gradually no match for Agent Smith. Seeing the scene, the live stream room viewers couldn¡¯t help but feel worried for Angelica, and many people unconsciously clenched their fists. [Come on, Angelica! You can do it!] [Don¡¯t give up, Angelica! You¡¯re the Savior of this game. How can an agent program be your match?!] [Don¡¯t let these agent programs succeed! As the saying goes, human wisdom can prevail over nature, not to mention winning over a machine!] [You guys are too optimistic. The agent has the authority of the Matrix. How can a mortal like Angelica defeat them? I think she¡¯s going to fail this time.] [The agents are too powerful. They are superhumans in the Matrix. How can Angelica defeat them?] Some viewers were cheering for Angelica, while some realistic viewers were pessimistic about Angelica¡¯s current situation. It was easy to understand their pessimistic. After all, Angelica was currently in a dangerous situation. Agent Smith was the leader of agent programs, so he must be the most powerful existence among them. Unless Angelica had superpowers like in the Zombie Apocalypse series, it would be difficult to defeat Agent Smith. Agent Smith suddenly grabbed Angelica¡¯s body and brought her into the subway track, because a train was about to pass by. Smith obviously wanted to use such a method to take Angelica down with him. Angelica was a human, while Smith was just a program that wouldn¡¯t die. Therefore, such a kind of fighting method could be considered to be quite disgusting. It could even be called cheating. Angelica struggled madly, but it was difficult to break free from Agent Smith¡¯s control. When the train was about to hit her¡­ Agent Smith was unexpectedly elbowed in the face by Angelica, who took advantage of his momentary disorientation. With another kick, Angelica quickly climbed to the subway platform. The subway struck Agent Smith as soon as he stood up after being knocked to the ground by Angelica. Angelica could see the staff member¡¯s terrified expression when he saw someone on the subway track. The guy probably thought he was going to lose his job. As expected, Agent Smith¡¯s body was directly smashed into meat paste by the subway. Angelica finally heaved a long sigh of relief. She didn¡¯t expect to use such a dramatic method to defeat Agent Smith. After all, it was Agent Smith who had caught Angelica and jumped into the subway track, but in the end, he lost his life. [Haha! Agent Smith is making me laugh to death. I heard you can dodge bullets. Is that true? Then you¡¯d better take the impact of the subway!] [It is too funny! It turns out that an agent of the Matrix killed himself?! And in the end, he was smashed into meat paste by a subway train. How embarrassing!] [What?! Can the agents in the Matrix die so easily?! Do these agents only have one life? It¡¯s impossible!] [I think so too. These agents can even dodge bullets. It shouldn¡¯t be difficult for them to revive, right?] [Angelica, I think you shouldn¡¯t be too optimistic about the situation. Likely, you¡¯re still in danger!] Angelica was about to leave the subway station and found a new phone to leave the Matrix. However, Angelica saw the old man who had been sitting on the bench suddenly twitch, and then he turned into Agent Smith! Agent Smith then walked towards Angelica with a smile on his face. The smile on his face seemed to mock Angelica¡¯s naivety. [Fuck! Why do these agents have the skill of possession?] [Oh, poor old man! He was first frightened by Angelica and the others, and then his body was taken over by Agent Smith!] [The old man has died in such a pitiful way. Now that his body has been completely taken over by an agent, he should be completely dead in reality, right?] [Of course! How can he survive without a body?] [Sigh, I knew it. These hacker agents¡¯ authority must be powerful. If Smith keeps doing this, won¡¯t he be able to become anyone he wants?] Chapter 184 - 184 Possession! 184 Possession! Agent Smith¡¯s actions were beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. After all, it was too creepy to see someone take control of a person¡¯s body and turn the person into his appearance. Angelica didn¡¯t expect Smith to find her again in such a way. At this point, Angelica knew that if she continued to fight, it would be impossible for her to defeat Agent Smith. Angelica¡¯s best option at the moment was to flee and attempt to eliminate the agents by adhering to the operator¡¯s instructions. Angelica could leave the Matrix as long as she found another phone and answered the call before the agents caught up. After thinking it through, Angelica immediately started running out of the subway. Just as Angelica was frantically running for her life, she also received a message from the operator. It turned out that Agent Smith had not only captured them in the Matrix but had even asked the Matrix to send the Sentinels to find Morpheus¡¯ spaceship in the real world. Agent Smith planned to kill them in the real world. Moreover, the Sentinels began to cut the spaceship with their lasers. Even though Morpheus¡¯ spaceship had a sturdy exterior, if enough time passed, the Sentinel could eventually breach the defenses and kill everyone on board. Moreover, Morpheus¡¯ spaceship faced a hard situation since it wasn¡¯t a battleship and there were too many Sentinels outside. The only way to get rid of the huge number of Sentinels was to activate the ship¡¯s EMP bomb! It was the only way to destroy all the Sentinels in an instant. However, there was another problem with using the EMP bomb. Since the EMP bomb couldn¡¯t distinguish between friend and foe, it would destroy all electronic equipment. The Sentinels or the entire spaceship¡¯s electronic equipment would be destroyed. In this case, if Angelica couldn¡¯t get out of the Matrix in time, she would die as soon as the bomb was detonated! Angelica needed to find a way out of the Matrix as soon as possible to return to the real world. Morpheus would then activate the EMP bomb to save everyone. Angelica continued to escape in the Matrix as she got the information. She constantly changed her course of action according to the operator¡¯s instructions. However, as the Matrix¡¯s program, Smith and the other agents still managed to block Angelica in a high-level building hallway. Angelica and Smith began to fight, but after the previous battle and the escape, her strength had become weak. She wasn¡¯t Smith¡¯s match at all this time. Afterward, she even got shot by Smith when she lost her focus on the fight! Seeing the scene, the hearts of many live stream room viewers instantly turned cold. It was because Angelica wasn¡¯t a program like Agent Smith, but a living person. Angelica would be dead if she was being shot. [Damn! It looks like Angelica¡¯s undefeatable record will be broken in The Matrix I!] [It¡¯s such a pity. I can see that Angelica is trying very hard to clear the game on the first try, but the game is too difficult. There¡¯s no other way!] [Although Angelica lost, I still think that she can clear the game in one go. It¡¯s just that the game is too difficult to play from the beginning, and Angelica isn¡¯t familiar with the game!] [That¡¯s right! I don¡¯t think it¡¯s hard to clear the game, but the main thing is to find that feeling, the feeling of being the Savior.] [Angelica, just restart the game. After all, you can save the game at the stage you want, you don¡¯t have to worry about playing it all over again.] The live stream room viewers had basically sentenced Angelica to death. It was because Agent Smith was powerful, and now Angelica was seriously injured by a bullet. Under such circumstances, how could Angelica be a match for the agents? At the same time, Tank, Morpheus, and the others in the spaceship also learned that Angelica had been attacked in the Matrix. Everyone¡¯s hearts went cold when they saw the straight line on the electrocardiogram. Was Angelica really dead? Was the so-called Savior going to simply die and end things so hastily? Trinity didn¡¯t want to believe it. Morpheus also believed that Angelica was still alive, so he didn¡¯t press the button to activate the EMP bomb. When Angelica was about to lose consciousness and was about to fail the game¡­ Angelica suddenly remembered the child she saw in the Oracle¡¯s house. The child could bend the metal spoon at will and change it into any shape. At that time, Angelica didn¡¯t think much about it because she was preparing to meet the Oracle. However, Angelica seemed to have caught a special feeling in her heart when she recalled the scene. Angelica felt that she had grasped the most crucial part of the game. ¡°The Matrix, The Matrix, the Matrix, the programs¡­¡± ¡°What is the connection between them? Why did I become the Savior?¡± ¡°How can I defeat the agents and survive¡­¡± Angelica started to think of all kinds of ways to solve the situation, and finally, she understood everything. She temporarily stopped the game, took off her equipment, and spoke excitedly to the camera in the live stream room. ¡°I got it! I understand everything now! I know how to play this game now!¡± Meanwhile, Angelica grabbed Su Ping¡¯s arm and shook it hard. ¡°Su Ping, you¡¯re such a genius! How did you come up with such a brilliant game?¡± ¡°Haha! I know how to clear the game now! You can¡¯t stop me!¡± Meanwhile, Su Ping only smiled while seeing Angelica being happy. Su Ping thought, ¡°I¡¯m not the one who makes the game, and I didn¡¯t plan to make things difficult for you.¡± However, Su Ping was happy as well while seeing how excited Angelica was. Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers were all dumbfounded when they saw the scene. They had no idea what Angelica was talking about. They thought, ¡°What do you mean, ¡®I understand¡¯?¡± ¡°What is going on? What the heck is Angelica saying?¡± [Fuck! Is Angelica crazy?] [It can¡¯t be, right? How can she go crazy just because she can¡¯t clear the game?] [It can¡¯t be, right? Angelica should have a strong mind. How can she simply go crazy?!] [Where¡¯s Su Ping? Su Ping, hurry up and check about what¡¯s going on with Angelica!] Chapter 185 - 185 Angelica Has Gone Crazy 185 Angelica Has Gone Crazy Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers were all worried about Angelica¡¯s mental state. It was because Angelica seemed to have gone crazy. It could be said that Angelica acted like a psycho. No one had any idea it was because she had suffered a huge blow or for some other reason. [Damn, Angelica is doomed! What happened in the live stream room today will be one of the trending topics! By then, everyone will have been tortured to madness by Su Ping¡¯s game!] [Wait! Then will Su Ping¡¯s reputation be ruined as well? Will he come up with new games in the future? I don¡¯t want to live a life without good games!] [Su Ping¡¯s game has driven Angelica crazy and you¡¯re still thinking of playing it?! What if a few more of them go crazy because of the game?] [But what happened to Angelica has nothing to do with Su Ping¡¯s game, right? It¡¯s just because she can¡¯t accept her failure!] [Sigh, poor good girl. Why did she go crazy from playing games? What a pity¡­] [Let¡¯s call the ambulance. Angelica might still be able to get to the hospital in time!] Angelica had been sharing her joy with Su Ping and the live stream room viewers because she had come to a complete realization. Angelica finally understood how to play The Matrix. However, when Angelica saw the comments, she was instantly infuriated. She couldn¡¯t help but say. ¡°Can¡¯t you guys think something good of me?! I¡¯m not crazy, I¡¯m fine now, okay? Stop talking nonsense!¡± ¡°Do I look like a girl with a fragile heart? Even if I lose this game, I will only smile and not be affected at all!¡± ¡°Stop spreading rumors. Otherwise, the news will really make it to the trending searches. Stop talking about the matter!¡± Angelica didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. Angelica was just too happy, but she had no idea why the viewers thought she had gone crazy. After listening to Angelica¡¯s words, the viewers all commented with exclamation marks in the comment section. The viewers were surprised by Angelica¡¯s words. [What¡¯s going on? Angelica seems fine. Look! She¡¯s talking normally now.] [Sigh, psycho will always claim that they¡¯re fine. She¡¯s just pretending to be fine!] [That¡¯s right! Let¡¯s call an ambulance and send her to the hospital. Su Ping is rich anyway.] [Haha! Damn! I¡¯m impressed by you guys. Angelica explained that she is fine, but you guys keep claiming that she is crazy.] [Everyone, look! It has become one of the trending searches!] When Angelica saw the last comment, she immediately picked up her phone and opened Youtube. She then took a look at Facebook and Twitter. In the end, Angelica was so angry that she almost smashed her phone on the computer screen. Meanwhile, Angelica was angry because she saw four words when she opened all the applications. ¡°Angelica has gone crazy!¡± The term was ranked eighth on the search list! Moreover, it was obvious that the term was going to be more popular. In addition, there were several other entries related to Angelica, and were also quite popular. For example, ¡°Angelica failed to clear the game. It seems that she suffered a huge mental blow and has completely gone crazy!¡± ¡°Su Ping¡¯s game can drive the players crazy?¡± ¡°Warm reminder from the experts, please play the games wisely. Remember not to be too immersed in the game!¡± ¡°The players are calling for Su Ping to stop making more difficult games!¡± Looking at the terms, Angelica¡¯s little face had already turned red. Su Ping couldn¡¯t help but laugh. As Su Ping laughed, he suddenly let out a scream because he felt a sharp pain in his waist. When Su Ping opened his eyes, he found that Angelica was pouting and looking at him angrily. One of her hands twisted the flesh at his waist. ¡°Ouch! Why are you pinching me so hard? Do you know it hurts?¡± Su Ping tried to persuade Angelica. However, Angelica continued. ¡°Who asked you to laugh at me with them? Don¡¯t tell me you also think I¡¯m crazy!¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll definitely take you with me before I go crazy! Hmph!¡± Su Ping had no choice but to comfort Angelica. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. It¡¯s all because they lacked IQ. I¡¯ve always believed what you said.¡± ¡°You¡¯re completely fine. Now, beautiful lady, let go of your hand. If this goes on, I¡¯m going to die from the pain!¡± Angelica felt much better when she saw Su Ping apologize to her. At last, she snorted in satisfaction and let go of her hand on Su Ping¡¯s waist. Su Ping panted and touched his wound. At this moment, he finally felt slightly better. Then, Angelica faced the camera and spoke in a serious tone. ¡°If you guys continue to spread rumors saying that I¡¯m crazy, I¡¯m going to end my live stream immediately. I won¡¯t be live streaming for a long time!¡± ¡°If you guys want to watch The Matrix, go watch it on someone else¡¯s live stream after the game is released!¡± This time, Angelica was really angry. Usually, it didn¡¯t matter to Angelica when the viewers ridiculed her in the live stream room. However, why did they cause such an embarrassing term to appear on the trending list? Angelica suspected that some rich people watching the live stream did it! They spent a lot of money to promote and recommend it on social media! When the live stream room viewers saw Angelica had lost her temper, they immediately stopped ridiculing her. Everyone started to comfort Angelica and took the initiative to apologize. [Host, I¡¯m sorry. I really didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I didn¡¯t want to laugh at you at all. I couldn¡¯t help but laugh because they kept teasing you!] [Don¡¯t be angry, Angelica. Everyone is here because we like to watch your live stream. Please don¡¯t stop the stream!] [Where are the people who laughed at the host just now? Come out and get punished by everyone! Please apologize to the host. If the host stops live streaming, how can we have fun in the future?] [Alright, alright, don¡¯t be angry. Now, I announce that everyone is not allowed to mention the word ¡°crazy¡± anymore!] [All of you, be serious! If Angelica goes offline, you all will be kicking yourself that time!] Finally, Angelica calmed down after she saw the live stream room viewers apologize and comfort her in the comments. Angelica had been a little anxious just now. However, since she had calmed down, she wouldn¡¯t vent her anger at the live stream room viewers anymore. Angelica wouldn¡¯t threaten the viewers about wanting to get off the stream anymore. After a while, Angelica finally returned to the game after she calmed down. This time, she was going to clear the game! Chapter 186 ?186 Terrifying Superpowers Angelica returned to the game. Agent Smith had just shot Angelica, leaving her injured, when the game was paused. Angelica¡¯s body was still in the spaceship. Her heartbeat even stopped beating. However, Angelica returned to the game when she had completely mastered how to play the game. All of Angelica¡¯s injuries had disappeared, and the scene shocked the live stream room viewers. [What¡¯s going on? Didn¡¯t Angelica get shot and almost died when she paused the game? Why is she fine now?] [Does anyone knows what¡¯s going on? Can someone explain what¡¯s happening? Could it be that Angelica has some kind of cheat?] [I don¡¯t think so. Su Ping just give Angelica this game today. Even if he wants to help her cheat, he won¡¯t have the time to do it now!] [Could it be that Su Ping gave Angelica special authority? That¡¯s why she is resurrected?] [Su Ping, tell us the truth. What the hell is going on?] Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers were confused. They had no idea why Angelica suddenly returned to normal, and all the injuries on her body had disappeared. Su Ping knew that he had to give a simple explanation on behalf of Angelica. After all, the viewers were obviously doubting Angelica, and if he didn¡¯t respond to their questions, it was likely that they would lose trust in Angelica. Su Ping said indifferently. ¡°I promise everyone, I swear on my honor that I didn¡¯t provide Angelica with any means of cheating.¡± ¡°Moreover, I can¡¯t prepare all these in advance. Everyone knows how short my game production cycle is. I can¡¯t make a program to help Angelica cheat at the same time.¡± ¡°It¡¯s impossible when you think of it, okay?¡± ¡°As for why Angelica¡¯s injuries disappeared, we¡¯ll have to keep looking at the answer to this question. Anyway, didn¡¯t Angelica just say that she understood how to play this game?¡± ¡°As the game producer, I can only tell you that you must open your eyes wide and watch the next scene carefully. Maybe you can also have a such powerful ability like Angelica!¡± First, Su Ping helped to dispel the rumors for Angelica. Then, he used a kind of Riddler-like method to paint a big picture for all the live stream room viewers. The viewers had no idea what Su Ping meant by the second half of his words. However, Su Ping had always had a good reputation. The players were willing to believe his words. The agents watched her from a distance at the opposite end of the hallway. Agent Smith was standing in the middle of the three. The three agents raised their weapons at the same time and pulled the trigger at Angelica. Just as Angelica was about to be hit by the bullet and die, a magical scene happened. Angelica didn¡¯t try to escape the gunshots or run for her life. Instead, Angelica stood quietly on the spot and slowly raised her right hand. She straightened her right palm and faced the three agents in the distance and the bullets shooting at her. Afterward, the bullets slowed down in the air. In front of Angelica¡¯s palm, these bullets lost all their kinetic energy and fell to the ground one by one. The scene shocked all the live stream room viewers, and even Angelica was slightly surprised. It seemed like Angelica didn¡¯t expect she would go to such an extent. The live stream room viewers immediately expressed their shock in the comment section. Su Ping smiled when he saw the scene and thought, ¡°Angelica is a genius at playing games.¡± Angelica almost perfectly replicated the scene in the movie The Matrix I, and it just so happened that she understood the true essence of the game in the hallway. Thus, she obtained the superpowers in the Matrix. [Fuck?! Why did all the bullets stop? What¡¯s going on? Is this the legendary power of telekinesis?] [Oh my goodness! It¡¯s so scary¡­ The agents won¡¯t be Angelica¡¯s match anymore since she has such a superpower!] [It looks like Angelica is about to clear the game¡­ Why is the gap between people so big? I also want to have such good gaming talent!] [Now I know why Angelica said that she understood the game. Although I still don¡¯t understand it, I¡¯m shocked.] [There must be some secret. After Angelica clears the game, we must ask her what¡¯s happening. That way, it will be easier for us to clear the game!] [That¡¯s right! Angelica has obviously mastered the secret of clearing the game!] [The scene just now was so cool. It will be great if I have such an ability in reality!] Since Angelica had yet to kill the three agents, she couldn¡¯t interact with the live stream room viewers at the time. Angelica charged at an agent at an extremely fast speed, and her entire body went through the agent¡¯s body. After that, the agent¡¯s body developed countless fissures and started to emit a significant amount of light. In the end, in just a few seconds, the agent¡¯s body exploded into countless pieces. Since the agent was a program of the Matrix, they wouldn¡¯t have a corpse after their death. They would disappear from the world. After all, it was a virtual world created by the Matrix, so it couldn¡¯t be explained by the laws of physics in the real world. Meanwhile, Agent Smith took advantage of the time when Angelica had just killed one of his subordinates and rushed up. He started punching and kicking Angelica. Angelica couldn¡¯t have been Agent Smith¡¯s match at all if they had been in the subway station back then. It could be said that Agent Smith had suppressed Angelica at that point. But now, Angelica was facing Agent Smith¡¯s attacks with ease. As they fought, she even took back one hand and blocked Agent Smith¡¯s attack with only one hand! Chapter 187 - 187 Defeating Agent Smith 187 Defeating Agent Smith Furthermore, Angelica wasn¡¯t tied with Agent Smith when she fought with him using one hand. She looked calm as if Agent Smith could not pose any threat to her at all. Afterward, Angelica kicked Agent Smith away and went to the top floor. There was a phone here that could help Angelica leave the Matrix. Agent Smith had caught up to her. His goal was to kill Angelica, so of course, he wouldn¡¯t simply let her go. At this moment, Agent Smith took out his pistol again and fired a few shots at Angelica. However, this time, Angelica didn¡¯t stop the bullets like before. Instead, Angelica stood on the spot without moving. Her body constantly twisted and turned in the air, performing all kinds of difficult movements. Even some of the motions that Angelica made while twisting her body avoided all of the bullets, defying the rules of physics! Almost every bullet flew past Angelica¡¯s body, but not a single one penetrated her body! Angelica¡¯s action of standing on the spot and constantly dodging bullets was cool. The scene showed a charm, especially with the black trench coat she wore. All the live stream room viewers were stunned. It was especially some female viewers even expressed that they couldn¡¯t help but fall in love with Angelica. After all, Angelica played a male character named Neo Anderson in the game. Angelica could never have imagined that she would gain so many female fans while playing the game. Moreover, these female fans even had improper thoughts about her! As Agent Smith missed his attack, he rushed up again with anger, wanting to fight with Angelica physically. However, the next moment, Angelica appeared in front of Smith and put one of her hands through Agent Smith¡¯s body. Suddenly, Agent Smith¡¯s body exploded, and just like the two agents before him, they were all killed by Angelica. At this moment, Angelica heard Morpheus urging her from her headphone. The Sentinels were going to breach the spaceship¡¯s defenses, so Morpheus told her to leave the Matrix as quickly as possible. Upon hearing it, Angelica didn¡¯t wait any longer. She picked up the phone and put it to her ear. At the same time, Morpheus finally pressed the button to activate the EMP bomb. As the bomb exploded, an invisible wave spread out in all directions. The Sentinels that had been continuously cutting the outer shell of the spaceship with their lasers lost all their powers and fell to the ground. At the same time, all the electronic equipment on the spaceship stopped working under the influence of this wave, including the brain-computer interface system that helped them to enter the Matrix. Fortunately, Angelica had made the call and returned to the real world in time. Hence, Angelica wasn¡¯t hurt even if the equipment was destroyed. Morpheus and the others in the real world had witnessed the entire battle between Angelica and the three agents. Tank and Trinity had now completely believed Morpheus¡¯ words. They both believed that Angelica was the Savior of the world! After all, other than the Savior, no one else could change the Matrix¡¯s data. No one could defeat the agents in the Matrix besides the Savior! In the past, one would be in a hazardous situation when they encountered an agent, But today, Angelica had defeated an agent for the first time and even killed three of them in a row! It could be considered a magnificent feat. Finally, Angelica returned safely, and the rescue mission was successful. Just as Angelica and the people on the spaceship were about to celebrate, and then repair the spaceship to take off again, a game-completed sign suddenly appeared in Angelica¡¯s vision. Then, Angelica lost control of her body, and her vision turned dark. She was stunned for a moment before she realized that it wasn¡¯t a prank. It seemed like The Matrix I had come to an end! Angelica took off her equipment and looked at Su Ping in confusion. ¡°Su Ping, what¡¯s going on? Why did the game suddenly end? All I did was save Morpheus from the Matrix, and I was just about to take revenge on the Matrix. Why did the game end?!¡± ¡°Tell me what¡¯s going on. Is the game over, or is there a bug?¡± Other than Angelica, the millions of live stream room viewers were also puzzled. From the viewers¡¯ perspective, Angelica¡¯s situation had just become better in the game. Angelica had now mastered the skills to fight with the agents, and she was like Superman in the Matrix. They thought, ¡°Isn¡¯t Angelica supposed to be fighting nonstop in the Matrix, triumphing in every conflict, and then assisting the humans in reality in gaining more territory and defying the machines¡¯ rule?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t Angelica supposed to win the war between humanity and machines? Why did the game suddenly stop?¡± [What¡¯s going on? I was still hoping to see Angelica kill everyone in the game. Why did it suddenly end?] [That¡¯s right! I was just having fun. Why did it suddenly end?! What the hell is going on?!] [Don¡¯t tell me that I can only play the next part of the plot in The Matrix II? Su Ping, don¡¯t do that. It¡¯s too much!] Meanwhile, many live stream room viewers were criticizing Su Ping¡¯s behavior. When they were finally attracted to the game and even brought themselves into it¡­ The game suddenly ended? How could the viewers accept it? When facing Angelica and the millions of live stream room viewers¡¯ doubts¡­ Su Ping smiled as he looked at the comments in the live stream room. ¡°I know that everyone must feel that it¡¯s not enough, but I have to tell you that The Matrix I is over.¡± ¡°Why else do you think I named this game ¡®The Matrix I¡¯? Isn¡¯t it because there¡¯s a sequel?¡± ¡°Moreover, it¡¯s obvious that the ending of this series of games is to kill the Matrix and save all humankind. How can I release the rest of the games if we achieve the goal from the start?¡± ¡°Also, if you feel that the game has ended too suddenly, please look at the time. What time is it now?¡± ¡°Is the game flow of The Matrix I really that short?¡± Chapter 188 - 188 The Viewers Who Wants More 188 The Viewers Who Wants More After hearing it, Angelica and the millions of live stream room viewers began to look at what time it was. In the end, everyone was shocked by what they saw. It was already 10 p.m.! In other words, it had been a few hours since Angelica started playing the game. Previously, everyone was so focused on the game that they didn¡¯t notice that time had passed quickly. Now that they were suddenly informed that several hours had passed, the viewers finally came to a realization. [Damn! It¡¯s already 10 p.m.! I thought Angelica had only played for about an hour!] [Haha! Doesn¡¯t this show that the game The Matrix I is good and attractive?] [That¡¯s right! It shows that the game is successful! Alright, although I¡¯m not satisfied with ending it in such a way, just leave the good stuff for later.] [I still can¡¯t accept it. Why can¡¯t Su Ping just finish The Matrix series and release it together? It¡¯s more satisfying to clear the game in one go!] [I don¡¯t care. I just want to play The Matrix II as soon as possible! Su Ping, leave Angelica¡¯s live stream room right now and continue to make games!] [Oh my goodness! Are you guys trying to make Su Ping die because of working too much?] Su Ping couldn¡¯t help but smile when he saw the comments. ¡°Everyone, I understand your eagerness, but I also hope that everyone can understand me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m stressed to release a lot of games in a row right now. If you don¡¯t want to suddenly hear the news of my sudden death at home one day, please give me a little time to rest.¡± ¡°The Matrix is a game series that I¡¯ll be making in the future. It will be three games in this series!¡± ¡°Therefore, everyone can look forward to it and the next two games¡¯ official release. I guarantee that The Matrix series will satisfy you!¡± ¡°It will create a whole new game world. Here, you will be the Saviors of the war between humanity and machines, leading humanity to live in the cold machine world!¡± Su Ping¡¯s words won the approval of many viewers. Meanwhile, fewer people urged him to release more games in the comment section. Su Ping was satisfied with the situation. He thought, ¡°This is what my fans and Angelica¡¯s fans should do! Everyone has such high quality!¡± Soon, the live stream room viewers accepted the fact that The Matrix I had ended. Although everyone still felt that it had ended too suddenly, there was nothing they could do about it. After all, everyone knew that Su Ping was already releasing new games at a very fast speed. Under such circumstances, it would be unreasonable to ask Su Ping to release the new game even faster. Therefore, at this moment, no one would deliberately ask Su Ping to do something. Everyone understood that Su Ping was working at high intensity and his workload was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Afterward, the live stream room viewers began to ask Angelica about the superpowers she had in the game. Everyone wanted to know how did Angelica do it. Why was she able to use her powers in the Matrix as a normal human? After all, none of the NPCs in the game had superpowers. Why did Angelica have such an ability? Looking at the viewers¡¯ questions, Angelica thought for a while and thought about how to answer their questions. It was because it was difficult to explain the situation. Since it was abstract, it was hard to describe the feeling in words. After a long while, Angelica slowly said. ¡°I believe those who have seen the previous plot should know that the Matrix is actually a virtual world, a world that exists in a computer.¡± ¡°Everything inside is fake. Whether it¡¯s the buildings we see, the clothes we wear, or the delicious food on the table, they¡¯re all fake!¡± ¡°What is their nature if they are in the virtual world?¡± Angelica asked the live stream room viewers. Hearing it, many people started commenting. [Everything in the game isn¡¯t real? What is their nature?] [What a good question.] [Does anyone know the nature of these things?] [Could it be¡­] After a while, someone finally said the most crucial word. As more and more people got the correct answer, Angelica finally smiled and nodded. ¡°It seems like some live stream room viewers have already guessed the answer to my question.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Everything, no matter what it is in this world, is just a string of code!¡± ¡°It¡¯s similar to how the spaceship operator in The Matrix could deduce what was happening simply by looking at the lines of letters and codes that appeared on the computer screen.¡± ¡°He knows what everyone is doing by reading the codes!¡± ¡°However, when we enter the Matrix, we aren¡¯t reading the codes but seeing the fake substances formed by the combination of the codes.¡± ¡°So, what if we can treat everything as codes in the Matrix, and even modify the codes?¡± ¡°What will happen?¡± As soon as Angelica said it, the millions of live stream room viewers suddenly realized something. At this point, everyone understood the situation. [So that¡¯s how it is. It turns out that the game can be played in this way!] [It¡¯s amazing! Haha! As expected of Angelica to think of such a method!] [Unbelievable! It turns out that treating all matter in the Matrix as codes can change any matter in the Matrix at will!] [So this is how it is! That¡¯s why Angelica can stop the bullets, defeat Agent Smith with one hand, and dodge the bullets! It is because everything is just strings of codes in her eyes!] [Haha! Angelica, you¡¯re a genius! Why didn¡¯t I think of that?] [Because of this, Angelica can complete all of these challenging games in one go while others can¡¯t.] [I¡¯m very impressed. I¡¯m willing to call Angelica the best gamer in the world!] At this moment, all the live stream room viewers were instantly won over by Angelica when they understood the principle behind her use of superpowers. Chapter 189 - 189 Plans for the New Game 189 Plans for the New Game At this point, the secret of Angelica¡¯s ability to use superpowers in The Matrix I had been revealed. Finally, Angelica cleared The Matrix I on the first try. Since it was getting late, Su Ping decided to bid farewell to Angelica for the time being and go home. If Angelica wasn¡¯t live streaming at the moment, she would have asked Su Ping to stay at her house. However, since Angelica hadn¡¯t turned off her live stream yet, it would probably immediately become a hot topic if she rashly invited him. By then, everyone would know that Angelica had asked Su Ping to stay at her place overnight. At that time, Angelica couldn¡¯t imagine what kind of plot and scenes the netizens would come up with. Just thinking about it made her scalp numb. After all, the netizens¡¯ various thoughts were exaggerated. Therefore, this time, Angelica didn¡¯t try to keep Su Ping, even though she still felt that it was a pity. ¡°You should rest well when you go back. Don¡¯t be too anxious because of your fans¡¯ urging.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve already released games very quickly. Don¡¯t push yourself too hard, or you¡¯ll have problems with your health.¡± As soon as they got to the gate, Angelica said to Su Ping in a worried tone. After all, no one knew that Su Ping relied on the system to make games. All Su Ping had to do was translate the content given by the system into game codes. Therefore, Su Ping¡¯s workload wasn¡¯t that huge. At least, it wasn¡¯t as scary as people thought. However, Su Ping still felt touched by Angelica¡¯s concern. He nodded and said with a smile. ¡°Haha! Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll treasure my body. After all, I have to release more fun games in the future.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll be leaving first. You should hurry back to your live stream room and continue your live stream. Don¡¯t let your viewers wait too long.¡± Afterward, Su Ping turned around and went downstairs. Angelica stood there quietly as she watched Su Ping leave. She didn¡¯t return to her live stream room until Su Ping disappeared from her sight. As soon as Angelica returned, she saw the viewers guessing what she and Su Ping were doing in the comments. [What do you think Su Ping and Angelica are doing? Why hasn¡¯t Angelica returned after such a long time?] [Hehe! What else can they do? A man and a woman alone in a room will undoubtedly engage in interesting activity!] [No way. How long has it been? Can they make it in time?] [Of course, they can! Don¡¯t you know that Su Ping is fast?] [Haha! Luckily, Su Ping has left the live stream room. He will definitely slack off and won¡¯t let us make new games if he sees us saying him fast!] [Stop it! Angelica is back! Don¡¯t let her see what we¡¯ve said. Otherwise, she¡¯ll tell Su Ping!] Seeing the comments, Angelica couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes. Angelica thought, ¡°This bunch of guys did know how to let imaginations run wild.¡± ¡°Su Ping and I didn¡¯t do anything just now, but they had come up with a great drama in their minds.¡± Afterward, Angelica said, ¡°All right, all right. Stop fantasizing. I¡¯m just sending Su Ping to the door. Stop overthinking.¡± ¡°By the way, what are you guys thinking about?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you guys always think about such nonsense? You¡¯re so dirty-minded!¡± Soon, Angelica continued her live stream. Angelica was still quite tired since she had just finished playing The Matrix I. Therefore, Angelica didn¡¯t play any other games. She just sat in front of the camera and interacted with the live stream room viewers. At the same time, they would also exchange some of their views on The Matrix¡¯s storyline. Although the popularity of the stream had dropped compared to when Angelica was playing the game, her live stream room still maintained more than three million concurrent viewers! No other streamer in the entire live-streaming industry could achieve such terrifying popularity. Thanks to the popularity of Su Ping¡¯s game, Angelica had become the world¡¯s top streamer, or rather, the best streamer in the world. The best! Even other popular streamers were not on the same level as Angelica in terms of popularity. In the traditional sense, a streamer could be called a top streamer if their live stream room achieved more than 100,000 concurrent viewers. Angelica¡¯s live stream room frequently attracted millions of viewers concurrently, which was a significant difference. However, Angelica was well aware of her current achievements. Angelica knew well that she was just an ordinary live streamer before, not even a top streamer. In addition to having excellent gaming skills, Angelica had accomplished everything she had today thanks to Su Ping¡¯s constant permission to play games first. It played a huge role in her success. Therefore, apart from friendship, Angelica also felt touched by Su Ping¡¯s actions. She felt that Su Ping was more than just a friend. Even though Angelica and Su Ping had yet to break through the last barrier, they could still feel their feelings for each other. On the other hand, Su Ping finally returned to his home at around 11 p.m. When he checked the live stream website, Angelica was still live streaming. However, Su Ping didn¡¯t join Angelica¡¯s live streaming room. After all, he and Angelica were friends in real life. If he wanted to see Angelica, he could just call her. Therefore, Su Ping didn¡¯t care about Angelica¡¯s live stream. Who would like to watch a live stream when they could meet the streamer in person? The most agonizing situation was being able to see someone but unable to meet her. Su Ping took a quick shower and went to bed after he returned home. Of course, Su Ping would not work overtime that night. At this moment, he was thinking about when he should start making The Matrix II and The Matrix III. As Su Ping was thinking, he looked out the window and saw the starry sky. The stars twinkled as if they were worlds on their own. The name of a movie suddenly popped up in Su Ping¡¯s mind. All of a sudden, Su Ping didn¡¯t want to make The Matrix anymore. However, it was just a fleeting thought. A new idea popped up in Su Ping¡¯s mind when he saw the starry sky. He had a new idea. Chapter 190 - 190 New Game, Star Trek 190 New Game, Star Trek The Star Trek series! The series of movies could be said to be a classic in the memories of several generations, and it was considered the best among the space science fiction movies. The movie series had a large fan base all over the world. Even in the 21st century, three new works were still remade, which became the memories of the younger generation. Su Ping couldn¡¯t help but recall the three movies he had watched while watching the stars. ¡°Why don¡¯t I start releasing the Star Trek series after I¡¯ve released all of The Matrix series¡­.¡± Su Ping¡¯s heart was beating faster at the thought. Su Ping was currently in a world where immersive experience technology was in use. Even though the brain-computer interface technology was superior, the immersive experience was close. Su Ping couldn¡¯t imagine how the players would feel when they entered the game and found themselves in a starship. The mere thought of it made Su Ping¡¯s scalp numb. However, Su Ping would focus on working on The Matrix series for now. As for when to start the Star Trek series, Su Ping didn¡¯t have the time to do it now. Su Ping was a man who planned his work and life in detail. Since he had decided to make The Matrix series, he would plan on other works after the series was finished. Su Ping believed that the two series of games, The Matrix and the Star Trek series, would shock worldwide players. At that time, he could become the world¡¯s best game producer. Su Ping imagined that perhaps there would be a director who would remake his game into a movie. This way, the people of this world would be able to witness the charm of The Matrix series and the Star Trek series. As the night grew darker, Su Ping finally couldn¡¯t help falling asleep. Su Ping didn¡¯t know when he had fallen asleep, but in his dream, he seemed to have come to the USS Enterprise and become the captain of the ship. Su Ping directed the spaceships to the edge of the human world so that they could explore uncharted space and increase the size of the human world¡¯s domain. At noon the following day, Su Ping awoke. Su Ping checked the time and was shocked. He didn¡¯t expect to sleep for so long. However, it was not a problem for Su Ping to wake up at any time. After all, he was an independent game producer. No one could restrict Su Ping¡¯s working progress. No one could order Su Ping to do anything. Su Ping specifically had a lot of creative freedom in his work. Besides, there were billions of yuan in Su Ping¡¯s account. Even if Su Ping squandered it, it would take thousands of years to use up his money. Moreover, he occasionally made money from the Zombie Apocalypse series and World War Z. Su Ping¡¯s money had become a string of meaningless numbers. He had no idea how to spend it all. That afternoon, Su Ping received a call from Steam. After a few simple sentences, the other party stated their purpose for calling. It turned out that Steam called Su Ping to ask him when he would be willing to release The Matrix I. This time, it was still the manager of the product department who had called Su Ping. The manager and Su Ping were now old acquaintances. Therefore, the two of them didn¡¯t exchange many pleasantries. They went straight to the point and started to talk about cooperation and conditions. ¡°Mr. Su Ping, The Matrix I that the first release you made yesterday surprised Steam¡¯s product department.¡± ¡°According to the analysis of our company¡¯s professionals, your new game definitely has the potential to become a global hit!¡± ¡°Moreover, Steam¡¯s publicity will let more and more people know about your game and be immersed in the world of The Matrix I!¡± ¡°We sincerely hope The Matrix I can be launched exclusively on Steam this time since we¡¯ve had so many successful collaborations in the past.¡± ¡°Steam will work with you at a very low commission rate to make sure you¡¯ll make enough money to be satisfied.¡± The manager of the product department was sincere. After all, he had worked with Su Ping more than once. Even though Steam¡¯s commission was extremely low and it seemed that working together would be very costly¡­ However, Su Ping¡¯s high productivity must be taken into account. He would release a popular product every once in a while. Even if Steam couldn¡¯t make a lot of money with each product, as long as there were enough products, Su Ping could still bring many benefits to Steam. Many gaming platforms around the world were trying their best to find an opportunity to work with Su Ping. A small company might be able to soar to the top if it could get such an opportunity! It could even become an influential gaming platform in the gaming industry. It was the dreadful impact Su Ping had on the gaming industry. Now that Steam had worked with Su Ping several times and made a lot of money, they wouldn¡¯t throw away their own jobs and push Su Ping to their competitors. It was why the manager of the product department would always keep a low profile when he talked to Su Ping about cooperation. He would never give Su Ping any orders. It was as if Su Ping had the upper hand in the cooperation, and that was true. Since Su Ping had a terrifying ability to make money with his game and a strong comprehensive ability, he obviously had the upper hand in cooperation. Even a major gaming platform like Steam had to lower its profile in front of Su Ping. Usually, when major gaming platforms like Steam work with other game producers, they occupy a dominant position and set a terrifyingly high commission ratio. Su Ping was the only person in the entire world to benefit from the treatment. Su Ping and the product manager chatted for a while. The two of them quickly finished a thorough analysis of the product based on the data and performance of The Matrix I. After consulting Su Ping¡¯s opinion, the product manager soon set a price that both parties were satisfied with. ¡°Great! Then it¡¯s settled. The buyout price for The Matrix I will be 230 yuan. If we include the launch event, the players can buy the game for less than 200 yuan.¡± ¡°I believe that once The Matrix I is officially released, it will be a hit, just like your previous games!¡± Chapter 191 - 191 The Matrix I Is Officially Released Now 191 The Matrix I Is Officially Released Now After Su Ping finished the discussion with the manager of Steam¡¯s product department, all he had to do was wait for The Matrix I to be released. Even though the game hadn¡¯t been officially released, it was already well-known worldwide because it had been advertised in Angelica¡¯s live stream room. Countless players urged Su Ping to release the game on all the forums and video platforms so that they could experience what the world would be like after the war between humanity and machines. Many players who watched Angelica¡¯s live stream wanted to experience the superpowers that she had displayed in the game. After all, apart from the agents in the Matrix, only Angelica could use superpowers, and the world in the Matrix was realistic. Everyone wanted to experience what it was like to have superpowers in the mortal world. Actually, some of Su Ping¡¯s longtime fans weren¡¯t particularly obsessed with clearing his games. It was because they thought Su Ping had made a whole world, not just a game! Under such circumstances, it was a waste and blasphemy to play the game with the sole purpose of clearing it! The real point of playing Su Ping¡¯s games was to completely lose oneself in them and attempt to discover the wonders of the game world. The afternoon after Su Ping and the manager of the product department finished their discussion, Steam released an announcement that caused a huge stir around the world. Steam¡¯s announcement of when The Matrix I would be released was clear. The game would be released three days later! The fast release speed and high efficiency gave the players a huge surprise. No one had expected The Matrix I to be officially released so soon. According to the estimates of some veteran players and fans¡­ Everyone anticipated that the game would be available in a week or so. Players would express their gratitude if they could play it. However, everyone was surprised that Su Ping would release the game four days earlier! The players felt like the four-day early release was like candy to them. It made everyone anticipate the new game and series. Many players left comments on Su Ping¡¯s personal social media account, expressing their love and support for his games. In such circumstances, no one would have any dissatisfaction with Su Ping. After all, the game was about to be released. Of course, no one would hate Su Ping. Besides, no matter how nonsense the game plots were, the players thought the most important thing was to be able to play Su Ping¡¯s game. Everything else was really a trifle that didn¡¯t require attention. Meanwhile, Steam began to promote Su Ping¡¯s game on its main page, increasing the popularity of The Matrix I to let more players know about the game. Steam wanted players who hadn¡¯t tried Su Ping¡¯s game and weren¡¯t his fans to try to play. It was the charm of Su Ping¡¯s game. As long as the players had experienced it once, they would be completely immersed in it and unable to resist. They would become Su Ping¡¯s fans. Su Ping didn¡¯t rest after he finished the negotiation with Steam. Since the players enthusiastically supported The Matrix I¡­ Su Ping was aware that if he couldn¡¯t release The Matrix II and The Matrix III as soon as possible, he would have to face the players¡¯ threat again. The most important point was that Angelica wanted to get to play the following plots of The Matrix as soon as possible. Su Ping quickly threw himself back into making the new game to fulfill Angelica¡¯s wish. It was still the same old process. First, Su Ping would let the system create the general framework of the game, and then he would do some touch-ups. Su Ping had to fix the plot bugs or illogical parts to create a perfect game. After all, the predecessors of the games were all movies from the same series in another world. There would be some problems if Su Ping were to convert movies into games step by step. Su Ping¡¯s job was to solve the problems and make everything in the game more reasonable so that the players couldn¡¯t find any fault with it. In these three days, tens of millions of players all over the world were looking forward to the day when The Matrix I would officially release. It included countless game streamers. They had already posted in their live stream rooms that they would experience the plot of The Matrix I in their live streams when it was released. At this moment, Angelica became the idlest person. After all, Angelica had already played The Matrix I. She wasn¡¯t interested in the games that she had already played. Besides, Angelica was unwilling to compete for the popularity of The Matrix I with so many people. After all, Angelica was no longer short of money. She became a live streamer more for her interest than for her survival. In this situation, Angelica would naturally do whatever she liked. She didn¡¯t have to put in as much effort to please the players and the viewers as the unpopular streamers did. As countless people anticipated, The Matrix I was finally officially released. In the past few days, Steam¡¯s server has been almost overwhelmed by players. The terrifying popularity of The Matrix I once again shocked everyone. Obviously, the popularity of The Matrix I was higher than any of the Zombie Apocalypse series games! Moreover, it was just the first game in The Matrix series! Nobody could imagine what achievements The Matrix could reach when its sequel was released. The Matrix series might become the pinnacle of worldwide gaming history! Many players had the same guess, and no one doubted it. There was no doubt that no other game could challenge the current popularity of The Matrix! Moreover, the best thing about The Matrix wasn¡¯t the game¡¯s plot or playability, but the philosophical ideas involved in the plot. For example, the war between humanity and machines, and the development of artificial intelligence technology¡­ Other elements such as Kung Fu, hacking skills, brain-computer interface technology, and so on¡­ Every part of the game would surprise the players, impressing them, and they wouldn¡¯t be able to resist. The Matrix was destined to become a milestone in gaming history, and its name would go down in history. Chapter 192 - 192 News About the Matrix II 192 News About the Matrix II Since the game was officially released, worldwide live streamers chose to start live streaming at noon. Although the live streamers had downloaded the game at once, it obviously wouldn¡¯t be downloaded so quickly. Therefore, none of the live stream rooms had significantly more viewers during that time. Most of the viewers would join different live stream rooms to see which streamer could download the game faster. Whoever downloaded the game first would be swarmed by the players. They would rush into the live stream room to watch the live streamer play the game. As a result, a strange phenomenon appeared on the live-streaming platform. Every live streamer wished they could significantly increase their internet speed. The live streamers wanted to finish downloading The Matrix as soon as possible. After all, at this time, the time represented popularity and money. It was especially true for some unpopular streamers. If they could start the game before the other top streamers who hadn¡¯t finished downloading the game¡­ It would definitely attract many players who didn¡¯t know what to watch to join their live stream room, even if most were just joining in on the fun. When the streamers they followed started playing the game, they would leave. However, as long as some people could follow them and subscribe to them, their efforts today would have been successful. Finally, most of the live streamers started to play The Matrix I when it was around 3 p.m. As Angelica had already played the game in advance, she only checked around in the live stream room to see how the other streamers were doing. Angelica also wanted to see if someone could develop a new way to play it. For example, someone could either clear the game without using their superpowers or avoid the forced countdown at the end of the game. Or maybe someone could kill the Matrix in The Matrix I and successfully free all of humanity. Today was also the day that Angelica¡¯s live stream room was the least popular among the streamers. After all, most of the viewers were attracted by other live streamers. However, Angelica wasn¡¯t depressed about the situation. After all, she didn¡¯t care about momentary popularity. Angelica believed that as long as she live-streamed new games in the future, the viewers would still watch her live stream. At that moment, for some reason, Angelica wanted to send Su Ping a message and ask him about the progress of The Matrix II. Soon, the live stream room viewers noticed Angelica¡¯s small gesture because they saw her looking down at her phone. [What are you doing, Angelica? Are you secretly playing with your phone instead of doing your live stream?] [You must be sharing your secrets with Su Ping. I order you to tell us what you and Su Ping talked about, or we¡¯ll be mad!] [Host, what are you talking about with Su Ping? Can¡¯t you stop hiding it from us? We are all your loyal fans!] [Hurry up and let me see! Host, you can¡¯t keep it to yourself!] When Angelica saw the live stream room comments urged her and asked her about the content of their chat¡­ Angelica couldn¡¯t help but smile and then said faintly. ¡°I didn¡¯t talk about any nonsense. I just wanted to ask Su Ping about the progress of The Matrix II.¡± Upon hearing it, the live stream room viewers immediately became excited. [What?! You¡¯re asking for information on The Matrix II?! Did Su Ping reply to you? When will he finish the production of The Matrix II?] [Haha! It¡¯s expected that Angelica will always get first-hand information!] [How can the other streamers compete with Angelica when she always gets first-hand information from Su Ping?! No one can win over her!] [Hurry up and tell us what the situation is!] When the viewers urged Angelica, she replied happily after reading Su Ping¡¯s message. ¡°Hehe! Su Ping said he¡¯s speeding up the production of The Matrix II. In this case, it will be done soon.¡± ¡°However, this guy also said he wouldn¡¯t let me play The Matrix II alone in advance. Instead, it will be directly released on Steam, but I don¡¯t know when it will be released.¡± ¡°What a cheapskate! He won¡¯t lose any organs if he allows me to play the game after it is produced. Hmph! I won¡¯t stream with him anymore!¡± Angelica made a cute little mouth pout as she spoke to indicate her displeasure. The viewers who received the news didn¡¯t even have the time to pay attention to Angelica¡¯s cute appearance. The news of The Matrix II captured everyone¡¯s attention. [What?! It¡¯s almost done? Oh my goodness! Su Ping is so fast!] [Fuck! The Matrix I has just been released, but this guy will soon finish producing The Matrix II?! Is he an independent game producer? Does he have a huge team helping him?] [Su Ping¡¯s high level of productivity is making me more and more perplexed. It¡¯s not the speed of normal people!] [It¡¯s terrifying¡­ I seriously suspect that Su Ping is an alien. I don¡¯t think we earthlings can make games in such a short time with our current level!] [That¡¯s right! How did Su Ping do it? It¡¯s unbelievable!] Angelica didn¡¯t know the answer to the topic that was currently being discussed in the comments. Even Angelica had no idea how Su Ping could make a game so quickly. The question had been raised by players a long time ago, but after a long discussion, no one could give a convincing explanation. After a long time without an answer, the players stopped caring about the matter. After all, they only cared about whether Su Ping could maintain his game quality. Under such circumstances, the faster Su Ping released the game, the happier the players would be because they would be able to play the latest game faster. Besides, Su Ping¡¯s game prices have always been affordable. After all, in this world, a few hundred yuan wasn¡¯t much money. This world was more technologically advanced than Su Ping¡¯s original world. The production force was stronger as well. Therefore, the people here generally had a higher income. Spending a few hundred yuan on games each month wasn¡¯t a huge financial burden for the majority of people. Therefore, the players were happy that Su Ping could release a new game as soon as possible. No one would hate such a thing. Chapter 193 - 193 Su Pings Terrifying Speed 193 Su Ping¡¯s Terrifying Speed Soon, a week had passed. During the time, The Matrix I was always on the search list of major forums worldwide. Although some breaking news would sometimes be more popular than The Matrix I, it was still the most discussed topic around the world. Even though it had been a week since the game was officially released, a large number of players were still downloading it every day. The game exceeded 100 million downloads! It was a terrifying number. Although it didn¡¯t mean many people had played The Matrix, the actual number of players wouldn¡¯t be too far off. It meant that at least one out of every 80 people had played Su Ping¡¯s game! It was a terrifying ratio because it was the ratio of the world¡¯s population. The sample was not a specific country or city, but the entire world. The Matrix was an unprecedentedly popular game in the history of game development. Other than The Matrix I was frequently discussed, there was another topic that had been a hot topic among the players. When would The Matrix II be officially released? The players were greedy as usual, and they would never be satisfied. A week ago, The Matrix I was released. However, the players were already discussing The Matrix II. After all, the players had received news from Angelica¡¯s live stream on the day when The Matrix I was released. Everyone knew that The Matrix II was about to be completed. Su Ping¡¯s fans made their speculations based on the news. According to Su Ping¡¯s usual speed and work style, The Matrix II might have been completed by now. The players referred the situation to the release of The Matrix I and believed that Su Ping would soon release news about The Matrix II. This time, the majority of the players predicted Su Ping¡¯s actions correctly. Two days ago, Su Ping contacted Steam¡¯s employees officially. This time, it was the same marketing manager who had spoken to Su Ping. The marketing manager had become Su Ping¡¯s exclusive liaison. He was responsible for contacting Su Ping on behalf of Steam and discussing matters about his game release. According to their discussion, the selling price of The Matrix II was set at 190 yuan. Why was the price lower by tens of dollars this time? It was Su Ping¡¯s decision after much consideration. Su Ping felt that he was releasing new games too quickly. Although the price was cheap enough¡­ However, since he had released too many games, it might still cause some financial pressure on his fans. It was especially true in areas with poor economic development. The players would feel burdened to spend a few hundred yuan a month on playing games. Therefore, Su Ping decided to lower the price this time to make sure more players could afford The Matrix II. In addition to the possible discount when the game was first released, the price that the players had to pay was even lower. It might only be 160 yuan. Su Ping¡¯s game was cost-effective in terms of both price and quality. Furthermore, the official release date for The Matrix II was set for three days later. In other words, Steam would start running advertisements and promoting The Matrix II tomorrow. At that time, it would attract a large number of fans and players, so that everyone could look forward to the official release of the game in advance. Since Su Ping had already given Angelica The Matrix I in advance, he had no intention of doing so this time. After all, it would be very unfair to the others if Su Ping always let Angelica play the game in advance. Even if Su Ping was willing to do that, if the content of the game was leaked beforehand, it would hurt the players¡¯ sense of novelty. In this way, his game wouldn¡¯t get off to a good start. Therefore, this time, Su Ping decided to have all the players around the world play The Matrix II at the same time. At noon the following day, the Steam announcement caught the interest of players all over the world. Countless people were shocked. At the same time, they were also impressed by Su Ping¡¯s terrifying speed and powerful game development abilities. It had only been a little more than a week since The Matrix I was released, and Su Ping had completed another new game! Taking everything into account, Su Ping had taken less than ten days to develop The Matrix II! [Oh my goodness! How did this guy do it? How did he complete such a high-quality and interesting game in ten days?] [It¡¯s so scary¡­ I strongly suggest the government send someone to study what Su Ping¡¯s brain is made of. I suspect that this guy is an alien or a robot!] [That¡¯s right! Although it might sound cruel to Su Ping, I¡¯m curious about the difference between Su Ping and us. How can he be so terrifying?] [What an incredible speed. At this rate, he¡¯ll be able to release nearly 40 new games in a year.] [Haha! When I saw people commenting on 40 new games a year, I was happy at first because we would have more games to play. However, I suddenly felt a little scared. How much would it cost to buy all the games?] [That¡¯s right! Su Ping is releasing too many games in a short time. My wallet can¡¯t handle it!] When the players were complaining about their pain and happiness that Su Ping had been releasing too many games in a short time and they couldn¡¯t afford it¡­ Steam announced a new piece of news, and that was the official selling price of The Matrix II. Numerous players¡¯ eyes widened and many of their eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets when they realized the price was even lower than before. Everyone found it hard to believe what had happened. [Fuck?! Am I seeing it right? The selling price of The Matrix II is only 190 yuan?] [Doesn¡¯t it mean that if we include discounts and events, we only need to spend 150 to 160 yuan to get it?] [The price will be even lower if we get some coupons or something!] [As expected of Su Ping, I knew he would think of us, the players!] [Haha! Good job, Su Ping! I¡¯ll never let anyone who defames you get away with it!] Chapter 194 194 The Kind Game Producer Many players were currently attracted by The Matrix II. The most important thing was the selling price of The Matrix II was lower than all the other games that Su Ping had released! It immediately gained Su Ping a lot of good impression from the players worldwide. Su Ping could¡¯ve sold The Matrix II at a higher price. Most people would¡¯ve tightened their belts and bought Su Ping¡¯s game even if they didn¡¯t have enough money. After all, Su Ping had gained a lot of fans worldwide. Everyone was willing to spend money on his games. Besides, no one would play a pirated game. The other players would look down on them and think that it was a betrayal. Therefore, Su Ping wouldn¡¯t have to worry about sales even if he set the price a little higher. However, Su Ping lowered the price because he had considered the players¡¯ finances. No player would believe that the game¡¯s low cost indicated poor quality. At this moment, all the players had only one thought in their minds, which was Su Ping was too kind. Thus, the popularity of The Matrix II reached a new peak. Many players started to spread the news and promote Su Ping¡¯s games to their friends in other gaming communities. Although Su Ping had a terrifying number of fans worldwide, there were even more people who liked to play games. Su Ping only had a few young fans. Hence, more and more people became Su Ping¡¯s fans after the players¡¯ voluntary promotion. Su Ping didn¡¯t need to spend a single cent on the promotion. He didn¡¯t need to buy promotional posts or ghost accounts to boost his popularity. However, Su Ping earned the sincere treatment of countless players just by his sincerity. Su Ping had gained all the benefits with his sincerity. The Matrix II will be officially released three days later. Countless players and live streamers were looking forward to it as they waited for the day to arrive. Everyone wanted to see what the plot of The Matrix II would be like after The Matrix I was over. After all, the fact that the players were able to complete The Matrix I showed that the majority of them were proficient in using their superpowers inside the Matrix. In this case, could it be that the players can easily win the game in The Matrix II? As soon as the players started the game, would they kill all of their enemies smoothly? The players did think that way at first, but after some thought, they realized that the plot was clich¨¦. It wasn¡¯t Su Ping¡¯s style. As such, only a few players believed that The Matrix II would be a game that can be easily cleared. Hence, what kind of plot would The Matrix II portray? Every player¡¯s heart had been completely captivated by it. Many of them had even been thinking about The Matrix while they were sleeping for the past few nights. Finally, the three torturous days passed. On the third day afternoon, the gaming industry once again welcomed a bombshell. This time, Su Ping didn¡¯t go to Angelica¡¯s house to do a live stream with her. Instead, he stayed in his own house to prepare for the production of The Matrix III. This time, Su Ping was going to release all three works in one go and shock the world. Su Ping wanted everyone to acknowledge his speed and strength! On the other side, it was finally noon. However, Angelica hadn¡¯t started her live stream. As usual, she would download the game before live streaming. However, even so, the fans who were very familiar with Angelica were already waiting in her live stream room. They were waiting for Angelica to start her live stream. Furthermore, as long as Angelica started streaming, it meant that she was about to start the game. Hence, countless players quickly left the live stream room they were watching and joined Angelica¡¯s live stream room. The number of concurrent viewers in Angelica¡¯s live stream room started to soar rapidly. In less than five minutes, her live stream room had reached more than three million concurrent viewers. The number continued to grow quickly. Even though the rate of growth had slowed, it was still expected that the total amount would be extremely high. The number of viewers gathered in Angelica¡¯s live stream room was almost comparable to the total number of viewers gathered in the other top streamers¡¯ live streams! It was the popularity and fame that Angelica had in the live-streaming industry. None of the live streamers could be compared to her. ¡°Everyone, welcome to my live stream. Today, The Matrix II is officially released. Hence, the content of my live stream today is to experience the game, The Matrix II.¡± ¡°I believe that most of the viewers in my live stream room have already watched me play The Matrix I. Many of you must have personally played it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I won¡¯t go into too much detail about the plot of The Matrix I. I believe everyone can¡¯t wait to see me play the game. Let¡¯s not waste any time. I¡¯ll bring my equipment and start!¡± When Angelica saw that the number of concurrent viewers had reached an average level, she didn¡¯t continue to dawdle. Instead, she happily announced the start of her live stream. At the same time, Angelica quickly put on her immersive experience device and started the game. Many people in the live stream room praised Angelica for her propensity to start things without procrastinating and her quick decision-making style. After all, many live streamers nowadays often dawdle to get more views during their live streams. They kept delaying the start of the main content of their live stream, waiting until the number of concurrent viewers peaked. Therefore, most of the time, the viewers felt that it was torture to watch such a streamer¡¯s live stream. It was because the viewers had to wait a long time, listening to the host talk about all sorts of things without ever getting to the point. However, Angelica would never do such a thing. Or rather, Angelica didn¡¯t need to wait for the peak of the popularity of her live stream room before getting to the point. Countless people would be watching whatever Angelica was live streaming. Therefore, Angelica only had to give her viewers and fans the best viewing experience. Finally, under everyone¡¯s anticipation, Angelica officially entered the world of The Matrix II. As the green title of The Matrix II appeared in their field of vision, every live stream room viewer became excited. Chapter 195 - 195 Smith Is Resurrected 195 Smith Is Resurrected [It¡¯s here! It¡¯s here! The Matrix II is finally here! Haha! It¡¯s worth it for me to wait for half a month!] [That¡¯s right! Although the release time between The Matrix I and The Matrix II isn¡¯t long, I feel it¡¯s been a lifetime.] [Finally, it¡¯s starting. Let¡¯s see if Angelica can clear The Matrix I in one go.] [Only new viewers will doubt Angelica¡¯s abilities. The regular viewers don¡¯t care about it anymore. Anyway, Angelica has never failed before!] [That¡¯s right! Angelica has never failed! I¡¯ve developed an inexplicable trust in Angelica now, and I believe she can clear the game in one try.] [Haha! Everyone trusts Angelica because she won everyone¡¯s trust by herself step by step. It¡¯s not easy!] When Angelica just entered the game, the live stream room viewers were discussing the game¡¯s content. At the beginning of the game, there was a brief introduction to the plot of The Matrix I. It was to help everyone recall what they had experienced in the previous game. On the other hand, it might also be to take care of some new players. After all, some players liked to play games without following the sequence. They might start to play The Matrix II without having played The Matrix I before. Of course, if someone did that, they wouldn¡¯t be able to gain enough gaming experience. It was because if a player didn¡¯t go through the challenges and hardships of The Matrix I, they couldn¡¯t use their superpowers in the Matrix when they first started The Matrix II! After the brief introduction, a plot animation suddenly appeared. The plot animation had nothing to do with The Matrix I. In this animation, Trinity seemed to be being pursued by the agents. Trinity was forced to jump down from the building. However, she was still shot in the chest. The animation stopped, and Angelica found she had regained control of her body. After opening her eyes, Angelica realized she seemed to be in her cabin on the spaceship, where she usually slept. ¡°It seems like everything that happened was just a dream. I almost believed that Trinity was going to be killed by the agents. It scared me to death.¡± As soon as Angelica finished her words, she suddenly felt a strange feeling in her hand. She was holding something warm and soft. However, when Angelica took a closer look, she realized that a woman was lying on her side in front of her and that her hand was wrapped around the woman¡¯s chest. At this time, Angelica knew what the soft and warm touch on her hand was. Even though Angelica was a girl in real life, the scene still gave her a shock. ¡°What the heck is going on? Why am I sleeping with Trinity while hugging her in my arms?¡± Angelica said in a panic in the live stream room. The live stream room viewers couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter as they watched the game. [Haha! What a weird game! Angelica is a girl, but she has become a man in the game. Now, she has to fall in love with a beautiful NPC in the game?! They even slept on the same bed!] [I can¡¯t help but want to laugh. I hope that Angelica can forgive me, but this is too funny!] [Speaking of which, in the game, what did it feel like to sleep with Trinity in a man¡¯s body? Will Angelica fall in love with women because of this?] [I¡¯m not sure. If the game has such a function, it will be fantastic!] [Haha! Angelica, stop pretending to panic. You must be enjoying it now. How do your hands feel? Trinity is the most beautiful woman in The Matrix!] When Angelica saw the comments misunderstood her and started to tease her, she immediately realized that she had asked the wrong person. The viewers were always looking for fun. The more panicked Angelica was, the happier they would be. Therefore, Angelica immediately adjusted her state of mind and kept calm. She gently retracted her arm, got up from the bed, and walked out of the room. It was still the familiar spaceship, and it should have been a while after The Matrix I ended. When everyone on the spaceship had woken up, Morpheus informed everyone that there would be a meeting soon. Additionally, the conference would bring together the captains and crew of numerous spaceships, but it would take place inside the Matrix. Although Angelica didn¡¯t understand why everyone took the risk of running into the Matrix for a meeting, everyone must have been prepared for dangerous situations since they wanted to do it. Hence, there shouldn¡¯t be any danger. Soon, Angelica and the others were all lying on the bed, and the connection device was plugged into the back of their heads, and they came to a place that looked like a sewer. The main reason for the meeting, which involved many spaceships, was to discuss dealing with the machines¡¯ attack. It was because the Matrix was now planning a war against Zion. The Matrix was now using an excavating machine to dig straight to the city location. Once the Matrix dug through Zion, hundreds of thousands of Sentinels would flood into the city through the passage. Therefore, the commander-in-chief of Zion¡¯s defenses gave the order for all spaceships on guard outside to return and join the battle to defend the city. However, Morpheus objected to the operation during the meeting. After seeing Angelica¡¯s performance in The Matrix I, Morpheus was even more determined to believe that only Angelica, as the Savior, could save humankind and Zion. To keep the connection with the Matrix active, Morpheus suggested leaving a spaceship outside on guard. Morpheus wanted to ensure Angelica could meet the Oracle anytime and receive instructions. Many captains initially disagreed with Morpheus¡¯ suggestion, but in the end, they agreed with it. They left a spaceship outside while the rest returned to the city to prepare for defense. However, just as the meeting was about to end and everyone had yet to leave, the agents found out where they were holding the meeting. Furthermore, Angelica received a gift. After opening it, she realized that it was a pair of earpieces. What was this? What did the earpieces mean? Chapter 196 - 196 How Zion Looks Like 196 How Zion Looks Like After putting on the earpieces, Angelica heard Agent Smith¡¯s voice from it, which made Angelica extremely surprised. It was because Angelica clearly remembered that she had killed Agent Smith in The Matrix I. Angelica remembered she put her hand straight through Agent Smith¡¯s body, causing him to explode on the spot. But now, why did Agent Smith resurrect? Moreover, Agent Smith even knew the location of the meeting and sent Angelica a pair of earpieces. Smith continued to speak through the earpiece. ¡°Thank you for giving me freedom. Thank you for setting me free completely.¡± Smith¡¯s words also confused Angelica. She thought, ¡°What did he mean? Did Agent Smith¡¯s resurrection have something to do with me?¡± Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers were also enthusiastically discussing the strange incident that Angelica had encountered. [What¡¯s going on? Smith is resurrected? Could he be the final boss of this game?] [I think it¡¯s possible. Smith seems to be unfathomable to me now. Could the situation relate to how Angelica killed Smith in The Matrix I?] [Maybe it¡¯s the case. Angelica had gone through Smith¡¯s body back then. Could it be that she left something in Smith¡¯s body at that time which caused him to mutate?] [Is it the mutation of a program? The mutation was advantageous, though, and even made it possible for Smith to be successfully resurrected. Isn¡¯t the probability of such a situation happening low?!] [No matter what, according to the current situation, Smith is very likely to become a big problem for Angelica.] Angelica agreed with the viewers. After all, Angelica had never thought that Agent Smith would come back to life. Moreover, Agent Smith was still in contact with her. Afterward, Angelica took off her earpieces, threw them on the ground, and stomped them to pieces. Now that everyone knew that the agents had their eyes on them, they decided to split up and escape. They would then fly their spaceships back to Zion. While escaping, Angelica was naturally willing to stay behind to cover the retreat. Now that Angelica could use superpowers in the Matrix, it would be easy for her to deal with Agent Smith. Morpheus also agreed with Angelica¡¯s decision. After all, he had witnessed the battle between Angelica and the agents, so he believed in Angelica¡¯s ability. After a series of battles, Angelica had defeated all the agents who had come to pursue her. Afterward, Angelica rose from the ground and flew into the sky. She directly went to the Oracle¡¯s house. However, Angelica found that the Oracle had gone out when she arrived. Hence, she had no choice but to return to reality. After returning to the real world, Angelica and the others took the spaceship back to Zion. The viewers sat in front of the screen in shock as the gate of Zion opened and the spaceship flew in. Everyone¡¯s eyes were wide open in disbelief as they looked at the scene before them. The city was wholly built with steel and machines. Although most of them didn¡¯t seem particularly advanced, the incomparably spectacular scene still had a huge impact on the viewers¡¯ spirit. [Oh my goodness! Is this the last human city Zion? It looks magnificent!] [That¡¯s right! The city looks exactly the same as the one I had imagined. It¡¯s the last hope of humanity!] [It¡¯s indeed a game made by Su Ping. The city is like an isolated island in the apocalypse. It¡¯s so cool!] [I can¡¯t wait to play The Matrix II myself. Haha! I think it¡¯s worth it to be able to come to this city to take a look!] [That¡¯s right! It¡¯s hard to imagine how much effort Su Ping put into creating this city. It looks exactly the same as the one they thought!] Most of the live stream room viewers were satisfied with Zion¡¯s appearance. Everyone felt the city looked exactly what they had imagined. At the same time, Angelica had the same thought. Zion was a city full of machines and metallic elements, which gave it a cool feeling. The simple design also gave people a sense of desolation. The real world outside the Matrix seemed to be made of metal. It constantly reminded the players that it was the apocalypse after the war between humanity and machines ended. Robots rule the world. The spaceship landed slowly. Afterward, Angelica followed the in-game instructions and was ready to look at her resting place. The others also went to handle their matters. After leaving the outer city and entering the inner city, where ordinary people lived, the scenery here was completely different from the outside, which once again shocked Angelica and the countless live stream room viewers. The inner city was like an incomparably huge natural cave, and people lived in the caves within the huge natural cave. In the huge cave, countless metal bridges worked as connections between the two edges of the cave, allowing people to communicate with each other. When Angelica arrived, she found that many ordinary citizens were waiting at the entrance. People all presented the gifts in their hands. Some gave Angelica food, some clothes, and some raw materials. Someone even put a flower ring on Angelica¡¯s head, and everyone looked at her with sincere and respectful eyes. The scene was touching because these ordinary people looked at Angelica as a warrior who was about to fight against the machines. Therefore, the people in the city naturally respected warriors like them. It wasn¡¯t hard to imagine the faith the people in the city have in the Resistance to fight against the machines. As Angelica walked forward, she kept receiving all kinds of gifts. She didn¡¯t know when, but as she walked, a tear fell from the corner of her eye. Although it was just a game world, Angelica felt like everyone around her was real. They were real people rather than just a bunch of data in the game! Angelica¡¯s hands were already so full of gifts that she nearly couldn¡¯t carry them all when she walked to the end of the road. The scene moved the viewers in the live stream room. Chapter 197 - 197 The Spectacular Underground World 197 The Spectacular Underground World [Sigh, although this city looks magnificent, the people who stay here must be living a hard life!] [That¡¯s right! Machines now control the world, and humans can only hide in underground caves. I have to say, the scene is ironic!] [Humans used to be the planet¡¯s rulers, but now they¡¯ve been forced into this state by the machines they created. Sigh, I hope this will never happen in the real world!] [Perhaps this is the moral of the story Su Ping intended to tell us when he designed the game. He¡¯s reminding us that we must always be careful of artificial intelligence. Even if they are created by us, they still might betray us!] [I get it. The reason The Matrix attracts me is not only because of the game¡¯s exquisite quality. It¡¯s because of the depth of thought that Su Ping has put into the game! The game might even include philosophical content!] [It¡¯s not just a game. It¡¯s something that can make us consider the matter of technology and artificial intelligence!] The millions of live stream room viewers were emotional when they saw the scene. It could be said that when they first entered the city, everyone was serious and looked at the city with admiration. But now, when people saw the ordinary people living in the city and the extremely primitive clothes they wore¡­ In comparison to the game¡¯s timeline, the machines had taken control of the entire world. Naturally, everyone would feel emotional. Humans were the former rulers of the world and even began to explore the universe. However, they were now forced to live in the underground world. Wasn¡¯t it a form of irony? Angelica took a deep breath and quickly returned to her room. After packing her things, she suddenly received a notice. Morpheus and the commander-in-chief of Zion¡¯s defenses would give a speech in the deepest cave in the city. At that time, all the residents of the city could attend, and the speech would be considered a general mobilization before the war. Of course, Angelica was very curious about the event, so she quickly tidied up her room and went to the deepest cave in the city. Along the way, many residents of the city were also rushing to the same destination. Finally, Angelica entered a completely primitive cave. The cave didn¡¯t seem to have been developed. Meanwhile, countless people were already gathered there. The cave was packed with a sea of people. The commander-in-chief of Zion¡¯s defenses was standing on a high platform and giving a speech to the people below. Angelica weaved through the crowd, feeling the enthusiastic atmosphere. A war was about to break out. As a result, it was probably the last celebration of humanity before the war. As for the outcome of the war, no one would care in the course of today¡¯s revelry. The survivors may have grown accustomed to living such a life over time, or perhaps everyone¡¯s mindset has evolved. Everyone enjoyed the celebration while they could since the war was inevitable. So why not enjoy life before the war and experience the beauty of life for the last time before death comes? Finally, it was Morpheus¡¯s turn to give a speech. As the captain, Morpheus had an excellent reputation in the city. Morpheus had thus already roused the interest of everyone in the cave by simply moving forward, making a few small movements, and shouting. Even Angelica couldn¡¯t help but want to jump up and follow what Morpheus was doing. As Morpheus¡¯ speech gradually progressed, the atmosphere in the cave finally reached a climax. At this moment, Morpheus gave the order, and someone began to play music and beat the drums. The loud sounds reverberated in the cave, forming a song that made people feel excited. People began to dance with their companions. The most primitive hormonal scent was in the air as the bodies of men and women brushed and collided. At this moment, Angelica suddenly ran into Trinity, who was looking for her. Trinity then brought Angelica to a place where there were only two of them. It seemed to be a room, and there was a fur blanket in the room. Trinity¡¯s movements were very bold, and she directly pulled Angelica onto the blanket. Angelica suddenly panicked when she encountered such a situation. What did it mean? Was Trinity going to copulate with her? ¡°I can¡¯t do it! I¡¯m also a girl!¡± ¡°Moreover, even if this is an immersive experience device, I can¡¯t do such a thing with Trinity like a man in the game!¡± Angelica didn¡¯t know what to do. After all, she was a girl in real life and liked Su Ping. Angelica thought, ¡°How can I do such a thing with another girl in the game that would make people blush?¡± ¡°Furthermore, I am currently live streaming!¡± ¡°Even if the standards of live-streaming platforms aren¡¯t that strict, my live-stream room will probably be banned as soon as I do such a thing in front of millions of viewers.¡± At this moment, the live stream room viewers couldn¡¯t help but burst into laughter. No one expected the live stream to turn out to be such a situation, and Angelica¡¯s current situation was indeed funny. [Haha! Angelica probably never dreamed that a girl like her would sleep with another girl in the game!] [Angelica, I advise you to stop struggling. Look at Trinity! She¡¯s so bold. I can tell that Trinity likes you, so just accept it!] [Is this The Matrix II? Haha! I have to buy this game and download it immediately! This is an awesome benefit!] [Oh my goodness! Is this a game that I can play for only one hundred yuan? This game has gone too far!] [Speaking of which, I remember this is a science fiction doomsday game, right? Why did it suddenly turn horny?] [Haha! Su Ping must have done it on purpose. This guy is so bold!] However, Angelica¡¯s vision suddenly turned black. The live stream room viewers were also stunned by the scene. No one knew what was going on. Why did the screen suddenly turn black? Chapter 198 - 198 Refund! 198 Refund! When Angelica opened her eyes again, she realized the surroundings had become quiet. It was obvious that the previous revelry had completely ended. Meanwhile, Trinity was sleeping naked beside her. Angelica looked down at her body and blushed. After all, Angelica was playing a male character in the game. As a girl who had never been in a relationship, she had never seen a man¡¯s naked body. At this moment, Angelica quickly found some clothes to put on to cover her body. Angelica finally calmed down after a while. She thought about it briefly and immediately understood her current situation. ¡°I got it! I think I skipped that part. Haha! Thank you so much, Su Ping. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have known what to do!¡± Angelica said it while feeling fortunate. Angelica was very happy with the situation now. She was glad that she didn¡¯t have to make a fool of herself in front of the viewers and do such embarrassing things. However, the live stream room viewers didn¡¯t buy it. They were clamoring for a refund in the live stream. [Su Ping, what do you mean? Where is the process? Hurry up and give it back!] [Su Ping, you¡¯re going too far. I¡¯ve even taken off my pants, and you¡¯re showing me this?] [Su Ping must be doing it on purpose. He wants to torture the players in such a way. He¡¯s such a jerk!] [Damn it, Su Ping. Why can¡¯t I hug Trinity in the game? Hurry up and give me back that part of the plot!] [Refund! If you don¡¯t give me back that part of the plot, I will ask for a refund!] However, it was meaningless no matter how the live stream room viewers expressed their dissatisfaction and wanted to get Su Ping¡¯s attention. Su Ping wasn¡¯t in the live stream room at the moment and he deliberately cut out the previous part of the story. Due to the existence of immersive experience devices in this world, most countries in the world demanded that games should delete nude scenes when it was released. It was fine if it was just to let the players have some intimate contact with the NPCs in the game, or to see the other party¡¯s body. It was because the game itself had a rating system. However, if it involved any overly intimate actions, then it had to be forbidden. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t it change the games¡¯ characteristics? Why did players buy the game? Was it to experience the plot and joy in the game, or to play horny? Hence, Su Ping wasn¡¯t trying to make fun of the players this time. He didn¡¯t want to be a bummer. It was a requirement of the laws of this world. Moreover, the gender of the character that the player played in the game was often not optional. If male players controlled female characters, and female players controlled male characters to copulate, wouldn¡¯t it be a complete mess? Therefore, most countries simply issued an order to ban such plots from appearing in the game. The clamoring and demands of the players were meaningless. Su Ping would only do such a thing if he wished that his game would never be released. Angelica quickly comforted everyone when she saw all kinds of condemnation comments from the viewers. After a while, the viewers finally calmed down and stopped asking Su Ping to add the plot back. Afterward, Angelica returned to her room. Soon, Angelica received news that the president of the Parliament wanted to meet her. Angelica was confused by the situation and thought, ¡°I¡¯m not a big shot, though. Moreover, my identity as the Savior isn¡¯t popular among the higher-ups of the city.¡± It was because most people didn¡¯t believe in the Savior¡¯s story. Thus, Angelica had no idea why the president was looking for her. However, it was likely to affect the development of the game¡¯s plot. As a qualified player, Angelica wouldn¡¯t refuse the president¡¯s invitation. Soon, Angelica saw the white-haired president. The president brought Angelica to a place that was impossible for ordinary people to reach. It was also the most important place in the city. Angelica saw the machine that kept the entire city running here. Countless huge machines were operating in an incomparably vast space. Some machines were in charge of producing energy, some were in charge of purifying water, and some were used to produce food. All the machines were highly intelligent. It could show how advanced human technology was when the city was first built. Furthermore, these devices had probably been in operation trouble-free for decades or even centuries. Just the machines in front of Angelica could prove that human technology in this world was more advanced than that in the real world Angelica lived in. For a while, Angelica was rendered speechless by the magnificent scene in front of her. It was because she didn¡¯t know how to express the shock in her heart. At this moment, the president spoke. He told Angelica, ¡°The machines in front of you are the heart of the city.¡± ¡°We, humans, are controlling these machines. We can shut them down at any time. However, if we do that, we won¡¯t be able to survive in this underground space.¡± ¡°These machines were the key to human survival. It could be said that these machines are the most important things for human beings to live and survive in this world.¡± ¡°However, while these machines were helping humans to survive, there was another group of machines outside that wanted to destroy humans.¡± ¡°So now, are humans in control of the machines, or are the machines in control of humans?¡± The president¡¯s words were thought-provoking, and Angelica fell into deep thought as well. Indeed, the machines here were helping humans to survive, and they were controlled by humans. However, humans couldn¡¯t use their control to do whatever they wanted, and they couldn¡¯t turn off these machines. So who was the ruler? The machines outside wanted to destroy mankind. So, who was the controller? In this world, what is truly good and evil? Many live stream room viewers also began to think about the president¡¯s philosophical words. After playing for so long, no one would have believed that the game was still ongoing. Instead, it made the players pause and reflect. Maybe it was the charm of Su Ping¡¯s game. Chapter 199 - 199 What Is True Control? 199 What Is True Control? After bidding goodbye to the president, Angelica received a message from the Oracle. The Oracle wanted to meet Angelica! Angelica naturally placed great importance on the message. It was because Angelica had now understood the nature of the game, so she naturally guessed the identity of the Oracle. Hence, Angelica knew that she couldn¡¯t miss the Oracle¡¯s message, which might be the key to clearing the game. Therefore, Angelica was ready to take a spaceship into the Matrix and contact the Oracle. Just as Angelica was about to board the spaceship with the others, a man suddenly appeared behind her. There seemed to be something wrong with this guy¡¯s behavior, but Angelica didn¡¯t know what it was. Thus, Angelica could only ask in confusion. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± The man was a little nervous, but he remained calm and said. ¡°I¡¯m here to wish you a safe journey. You must return safely!¡± After listening to the man¡¯s words, Angelica slightly nodded her head without saying anything. Angelica wasn¡¯t familiar with the man. Naturally, she had nothing to say. Meanwhile, another person ran over from a distance and handed a spoon wrapped in gauze to Angelica. ¡°This is a gift that someone asked me to give you.¡± After hearing it, Angelica picked up the spoon in her hand. At this moment, she recalled the little boy she had met in The Matrix I. The little boy had once told Angelica that if she wanted to influence something in the Matrix, she must use her own will and mustn¡¯t use brute force. It was because everything in the Matrix was fake. It was just a program. Thinking of it, Angelica smiled gently and carefully kept the spoon. Afterward, everyone set off and boarded the spaceship. Angelica also entered the Matrix. Following the address given by the Oracle, Angelica soon arrived at a dojo. As soon as she entered, she saw a man sitting cross-legged on a platform. The man was dressed in oriental clothing and wore sunglasses. He exerted a mysterious and powerful aura. Angelica used her heart to sense and found that the man wasn¡¯t a real human, but a protection program of the Oracle. With this in mind, Angelica knew the Oracle was probably in a dangerous situation. Otherwise, the Oracle wouldn¡¯t have hidden and sent someone to bring Angelica to her. However, after meeting with the man, he didn¡¯t seem to be willing to believe Angelica¡¯s identity. Hence, the man decided to fight to confirm that Angelica was the person the Oracle wanted to meet. Afterward, the two started fighting in the not-so-big dojo. Angelica¡¯s strength had greatly increased. Even though the man she was fighting was the Oracle¡¯s protection program, Angelica wasn¡¯t at a disadvantage. The battle between the two didn¡¯t last long. The battle was over when the man confirmed Angelica¡¯s identity. The man then took Angelica to find the Oracle. After opening a door, Angelica was surprised to find that she seemed to have come to a special world. The world extended infinitely to both sides, and there was a door at every distance as if every door led to a certain place in the world. Why would such a place exist in the Matrix? Angelica didn¡¯t know much about programming and computers. She only knew some simple operations and then played games. However, when the live stream room viewers saw where Angelica was, they couldn¡¯t help but start to discuss with others through the comments. [Does any of you know where this place is? Why is it all white?] [I¡¯m not sure, but it seems like this is a special place!] [I¡¯m a programmer. In my opinion, since there are so many doors in this place, does it mean that each door leads to a special place?] [If that¡¯s the case, doesn¡¯t it mean that this passageway is similar to a system¡¯s control panel? Could it be the Matrix¡¯s control panel?] [Wow! This man seems to have high authority. Doesn¡¯t it mean that the Oracle has even higher authority?] [That¡¯s right! It seems that the Oracle isn¡¯t a real human, but a program in the Matrix, or even a control program!] [If the Oracle is part of the Matrix, why would Angelica go meet her? How can Angelica be sure if the Oracle is helping humans or deliberately misleading them?] [Haha! It might be the most interesting part of The Matrix. It¡¯s a matter of personal opinion on whether or not to trust the program!] [Interesting! It¡¯s interesting!] The scene aroused the interest of many live stream room viewers. Everyone was looking forward to what the Oracle would say later. Would Angelica choose to believe the Oracle? Finally, after the man in white opened a door, he brought Angelica out of the special space. After passing through the gate, Angelica was surprised to find that they seemed to have arrived at a small residential complex with a courtyard in front. Many pigeons were landing on the ground, and there was a bench on one side of the yard. Meanwhile, the Oracle sat on the chair and fed the pigeons with breadcrumbs in her hand. The man gestured for Angelica to walk over. Hence, she approached the Oracle. The Oracle was acting the same as last time, being a complete Riddler. The Oracle kept saying all kinds of things that made Angelica feel a little confused since she knew nothing about the Oracle. When the Oracle asked Angelica to sit down, she hesitated for a long time, not knowing if she should do as she was told. The Oracle then told Angelica her true identity. Sure enough, just as some regular viewers had guessed, the Oracle was indeed a control program in the Matrix. It had a high authority. Therefore, even Agent Smith couldn¡¯t harm the Oracle. At this moment, Angelica asked the Oracle the most important question. ¡°As the program of the Matrix, you should know everything, but why do you still let people choose for themselves?¡± ¡°You can help humans make choices. Why do you want to do this?¡± With a smile, the Oracle said. ¡°Before you came to see me, you had already made your choice!¡± Chapter 200 - 200 Smiths Infinite Clones 200 Smith¡¯s Infinite Clones At the end of the conversation, the Oracle told Angelica that she would come to see her because she already had a definite answer. Angelica¡¯s current mission isn¡¯t to find the answer but to understand it. The reason Angelica came here was to find a reason for her actions that she could trust. After hearing it, Angelica suddenly recalled the dream she had before. In the dream, Trinity was shot in the chest by an agent and fell from a building. Her life or death was unknown. The Oracle seemed to have seen through Angelica¡¯s thoughts and suddenly spoke indifferently. ¡°Your mind decides whether that girl lives or dies. Only you can decide whether she lives or dies.¡± After talking about Trinity, Angelica asked the Oracle how she could shut down the Matrix and free the trapped humans. This time, the Oracle gave Angelica the answer to her question Angelica had to find a guy called the Keymaker to achieve her goal. The Keymaker was now controlled by an old program called the Merovingian. Angelica then asked who the Merovingian was, and the Oracle continued. ¡°The Merovingian is one of the old programs that resides within the Matrix. It will iterate in the Matrix.¡± ¡°The Matrix will often delete some outdated programs after new ones replace them.¡± ¡°However, there will also be some special circumstances. For example, if some programs are unwilling to be deleted, they will choose to be exiled.¡± ¡°During the process, these programs will often do something they are not allowed to do in the Matrix. It will lead to some abnormal situations in the human world.¡± ¡°It is why some people claimed to have seen aliens, demons, angels, and other monsters.¡± ¡°Moreover, the Merovingian is a person who specialized in taking in the exiles. Hence, he has the Keymaker with him!¡± After saying it, the man who had led Angelica to see the Oracle suddenly came to the Oracle¡¯s side. The man said indifferently, ¡°We should go.¡± Hearing it, the Oracle stood up from the bench without any hesitation. She then said indifferently. ¡°Go and find the answer and reason in your heart. Go and find the Keymaker. Only then can you enter the core of the Matrix and shut it down.¡± After the Oracle finished her words, she left the yard with the man and returned to the place where she used to live through the door. The Oracle had just left, and before Angelica could leave, she saw Agent Smith coming out of a unit door. It seemed that Agent Smith had been following Angelica all the time since he couldn¡¯t catch her last time. Angelica had been in the courtyard too long, so Agent Smith targeted her position. Agent Smith came in front of Angelica, but he wasn¡¯t in a hurry to start a battle with her. Instead, Agent Smith had a conversation with Angelica. From Agent Smith¡¯s words, Angelica finally understood why she had killed him in The Matrix I¡­ But now, Agent Smith appeared before her again. It was because he could resurrect. Agent Smith could also constantly duplicate his own body and take other people¡¯s bodies as his own. It had exceeded the capabilities of an anti-virus program. [I see. In The Matrix I, Smith killed Angelica, but Angelica suddenly awakened and killed Smith instead. Hence, a logical error appeared in Smith¡¯s program!] [When Angelica obliterated Smith, the Matrix should have deleted him. However, she might have left a part of her code in Smith¡¯s body when she passed through his body.] [After Smith fused with Angelica¡¯s code, he obtained a higher authority, causing the Matrix to be unable to delete him. It means that he is equivalent to a mutated anti-virus program!] [Smith was supposed to maintain the stability of the Matrix. However, he is now broken free of the Matrix¡¯s control and has become a super virus!] [That¡¯s why he can be resurrected and not be controlled by the Matrix to invade other people¡¯s bodies. Isn¡¯t that what a virus will do?] [Oh my goodness! Doesn¡¯t it mean that Smith can now destroy the Matrix?] [Yes, Smith has completely broken away from the Matrix¡¯s control and has become a special existence in the Matrix!] [Unbelievable! It is simply too outrageous! Previously, Smith was only a program of the Matrix, but now he has turned into a virus!] [This time, Angelica is in big trouble. She shouldn¡¯t have let her body come into contact with Smith in The Matrix I! That way, she wouldn¡¯t have left the code in his body!] [No wonder Smith gave Angelica a pair of earpieces at the beginning of The Matrix II and thanked her for giving him freedom!] [Haha! As the saying goes, it¡¯s a blessing in disguise. Smith was killed by Angelica, but now he is more powerful!] After Smith and Angelica had finished talking, Smith suddenly extended his right hand and inserted it into Angelica¡¯s body. Smith was planning to use his authority in assimilation to completely devour Angelica¡¯s consciousness. This way, Angelica would die in the Matrix. Moreover, Smith might even use Angelica¡¯s body to enter the real world. In the real world, he would be using Angelica¡¯s donor. When the black substance released by Smith was about to cover Angelica¡­ Angelica managed to outwit Smith¡¯s skill and prevent Smith from assimilating her. Afterward, the two began to fight. Smith¡¯s combat power was reduced after losing his ability to assimilate because Angelica¡¯s combat power was too strong. Hence, Smith began to convert all the people in the residential complex into himself. Soon, many ¡°Smiths¡± appeared one after another from the nearby units and joined the battle. The outrageous scene stunned all the live stream room viewers. Chapter 201 - 201 The Super Leader 201 The Super Leader Countless Agent Smiths began to rush toward Angelica. Even the powerful Angelica found it difficult to deal with the enemy¡¯s human wave attack. After all, there were simply too many enemies, and Smith had completely turned into a virus program. Smith wasn¡¯t a real human at all. It would be challenging for Angelica to defeat Smith and eliminate the virus programs in such a scenario. Furthermore, Angelica couldn¡¯t think of any way to achieve her goal for the time being. Angelica hesitated and thought, ¡°If I use the same method to eliminate Smith, will I make him stronger?¡± Since it was possible to happen, Angelica didn¡¯t dare bet on the situation. It was because she would be doomed if something went wrong. Thus, Angelica didn¡¯t take the risk to eliminate Smith. She kicked all the ¡°Smtihs¡± away to ensure her safety. Suddenly, a few ¡°Smiths¡± pounced on Angelica, and they didn¡¯t have any intention of fighting her. They just pounced on Angelica. When she wanted to knock them down and kick them away¡­ A growing number of ¡°Smiths¡± rushed over. Afterward, hundreds and thousands of ¡°Smiths¡± in the courtyard began to gather toward the center. They didn¡¯t attack Angelica but simply pressed down on her body as if they wanted to crush her to death by pressing on her. A growing number of ¡°Smiths¡± kept rushing out of the unit door in the residential complex. The viewers in the live stream room were taken aback by the terrifying scene. After all, the growing number of ¡°Smiths¡± gave the viewers a huge visual impact. Moreover, the growing number of ¡°Smiths¡± had piled up into a mountain on Angelica¡¯s body. The viewers had no idea how Angelica would get rid of them. [Fuck! Smith is too shameless! He wants to use the human wave attack to defeat Angelica just because he can infinitely replicate himself?!] [I have to say, Smith is such a smart hacker. Are all the programs so smart now?] [The Oracle is right. Smith has now become a virus that expands and spreads infinitely! He¡¯s completely out of the Matrix¡¯s control!] [If the situation goes on, will Smith be able to destroy the Matrix without Angelica?] [I think it¡¯s possible to happen!] Meanwhile, Angelica was completely pressed to the ground by a pile of ¡°Smiths.¡± Hence, she couldn¡¯t interact with the live stream room viewers. Angelica suddenly took a deep breath and activated the superpowers she had in the Matrix. In Angelica¡¯s perception, the countless ¡°Smiths¡± on her body had all turned into a series of codes. Afterward, Angelica felt an endless surge of power in her body. Suddenly, she stood up from the crowd and shook her arms. A terrifying force was released, and the countless ¡°Smiths¡± on Angelica¡¯s body were all sent flying. It was a spectacular scene. After that, Angelica didn¡¯t continue to fight with Smith. Angelica was aware that she couldn¡¯t eliminate Smith using conventional methods at this point. After all, Smith had already become a virus that could infinitely replicate himself. Angelica couldn¡¯t kill all of them. Therefore, Angelica soared into the air and chose to avoid Smith for the time being. It wouldn¡¯t be too late to come back and kill all the ¡°Smiths¡± when she thought of a solution later. After that, Angelica paused the game, took off her equipment, and returned to the real world. Angelica needed to take a break from fighting because she was worn out from the previous battle. Meanwhile, The Matrix II became more and more popular while Angelica was live streaming. Hundreds of millions of people around the world were discussing the game. In addition, there was a special meeting being held. The meeting was attended by many executives in charge of major game development companies around the world, including the bosses. The main purpose of the meeting was to discuss Su Ping. It was because Su Ping had gained such a strong influence in the world that the game development companies lost their leading status in the gaming industry. In the beginning, they treated Su Ping as a dreadful monster. They even wanted to target him. However, when they realized that it was useless, they decided to come together and discuss how to face Su Ping after some consideration. Should they continue to fight, or should they cooperate with Su Ping? At this moment, someone in the meeting suddenly dialed a number. If Su Ping could hear him, he would have recognized him immediately. He was the manager of Steam¡¯s product department. ¡°Guys, instead of discussing how to face Su Ping, why don¡¯t we ask him what he thinks?¡± Soon, someone picked up the call. Su Ping was confused and thought, ¡°Why is he calling me now?¡± ¡°Mr. Su, I¡¯m in the middle of a meeting right now. It includes almost all of the big shots in the gaming industry.¡± ¡°I want to ask you a question. I¡¯m curious if it would be convenient for you to respond.¡± Su Ping nodded after some thought. ¡°No problem, go ahead.¡± ¡°Are you willing to cooperate with us to lead the gaming industry to the future?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s create a new future together!¡± Su Ping was silent for a moment. It was because it was a huge responsibility. However, he had the system! When Su Ping thought of it, he said with a faint smile. ¡°Of course! If it¡¯s possible, I hope the gaming industry can develop in a better way. However, it¡¯s up to you guys to make the decision.¡± When Su Ping finished his words, he heard many people talking loudly on the other end of the phone. They were very excited. ¡°Mr. Su, of course, there¡¯s no problem!¡± ¡°Mr. Su, please lead us and the gaming industry to return to the peak!¡± Chapter 202 ?202 Gain Nothing Angelica recalled the terrifying power that had suddenly emerged in her body and sent all Agent Smith¡¯s doppelgangers flying. She was still immersed in it and couldn¡¯t extricate herself. She said excitedly to the live stream room viewers. ¡°Do you guys know? Just now, I suddenly feel like I¡¯m born with the ability that I can do everything when I believe I can do it!¡± ¡°This is indeed an amazing game. I have to say that the Matrix is the most powerful computer in the world! Everyone can do anything they want in the Matrix!¡± ¡°I hope there will be such a virtual reality network in reality too. If it happens, I feel like I can spend 24 hours a day in such a virtual world!¡± ¡°However, if there is an AI like the Matrix, forget it. In the end, our real-life is also significant.¡± Many live stream room viewers agreed with Angelica¡¯s opinion. Moreover, her words also resonated with many people. After all, in this era, virtual reality was no longer a cutting-edge topic. For example, the ultra-reality games they were playing were equivalent to the Matrix. As Angelica started the discussion on the topic, the number of comments in the live stream room also increased significantly. The viewers were enthusiastically sharing their views on the Matrix and their fantasies about the future. [I believe that we can solve many problems in reality if there is a main program like the Matrix that can provide a virtual world with infinite possibilities.] [That¡¯s right! After all, we only need to satisfy our basic survival needs in reality if such a virtual world exists. We can satisfy our spiritual needs in the virtual world!] [I think you guys are glorifying it. It can¡¯t satisfy everyone, even if there is such a virtual world. Otherwise, if no one works hard in the real world, would everyone just wait to starve to death?] [You¡¯re right. It¡¯s a problem. However, it¡¯ll be great if we can ask Su Ping¡¯s opinion about how he thinks about a virtual world of the Matrix¡¯s scale. I hope I can know what he thinks. After all, he created The Matrix!] [Eh? Does anyone know where Su Ping went? Why didn¡¯t I see him in the live stream room? Su Ping used to show up when Angelica was live streaming.] After a while, Angelica returned to the game. After a period of rest, she had fully recovered. Angelica clicked to continue the game, and the world in front of her started running again. Angelica had just met the Oracle. Although the Oracle¡¯s words were confusing to others, they still gave Angelica a lot of inspiration. For example, the underlying logic of the Matrix, why Agent Smith had such a powerful mutation, and so on. It would be difficult for Angelica to come up with the correct answer if she were to think about the questions alone. However, Angelica already had a rough guess in her heart after receiving the Oracle¡¯s reminder. She felt that she was about to grasp the nature of Agent Smith. Soon, Angelica brought the others arrived at a building by following the clues given by the Oracle. Meanwhile, a banquet was being held inside. A handsome man in a black suit was sitting at the table, and a gorgeous woman was beside him. Angelica immediately recognized the man when she looked at him. He was the search program from the same system as her, which the Oracle had previously mentioned to her. Although no one knew the whereabouts of the Keymaker, since the man was a search program, he knew everything that happened in the Matrix. It was why the Oracle asked Angelica to find the man. Angelica then sat down and started to talk to the man about finding the whereabouts of the Keymaker. In the beginning, both of them had a pleasant conversation. The man seemed to be easygoing, and it didn¡¯t seem difficult to obtain the Keymaker¡¯s whereabouts from him. However, as time went by, it wasn¡¯t just Angelica in the game, even the viewers who were watching the live stream of the game noticed something was wrong. [Why do I feel like this guy has been talking nonsense all this time? Why does it seem like he doesn¡¯t intend to help Angelica at all?] [Do you guys feel the same way too? I wondered why this man talked in such a weird way. He always gives me the feeling of being at odds with Angelica. It turns out that he¡¯s just bragging. He doesn¡¯t want to help Angelica at all!] [Angelica, don¡¯t waste your time with him! He obviously doesn¡¯t want to give you any clues! I think you better find someone else to help you find the Keymaker!] Angelica looked at the comments and realized the man in front of her was going to stand idly by. Of course, the man had no reason to help her. Furthermore, Angelica and the others were now in the man¡¯s territory. Hence, they were at a disadvantage in numbers, which made the situation difficult for them to fight. In the end, Angelica asked the man again if he was willing to help, but in the end, the man still refused her. ¡°Alright, it looks like we¡¯ll have to find another way to find the Keymaker.¡± Angelica said it with a little regret. She then took the elevator with Morpheus and the others to leave. When everyone was in the elevator, Angelica asked confusedly. ¡°The Oracle told me that I can get some useful information if I find the man at this time. However, I didn¡¯t get anything. This isn¡¯t right!¡± ¡°Could it be that there¡¯s going to be an unexpected change in this matter?¡± Angelica had always been skeptical about the Oracle, but after all, the Oracle was an important program in the Matrix. With limited information, Angelica could only choose to believe the Oracle¡¯s words. At this moment, the elevator suddenly stopped, and the door opened. Chapter 203 - 203 Various of Martial Arts in the Battle 203 Various of Martial Arts in the Battle Morpheus and Angelica were baffled by the situation. It was because the elevator was supposed to reach the ground floor, but they were currently in the middle of the building. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why did the elevator suddenly stop?¡± Angelica was perplexed. However, she seemed to be deep in thought after the elevator door opened and she saw a woman standing at the elevator door. Angelica suddenly remembered what the Oracle had told her before. The Oracle once told her that if she came to this building at this time, she could get what she wanted. ¡°Could it be that the key to solving the problem is this woman before me?¡± Angelica still had some impressions of the woman. She was sitting beside the man during the meal just now. She was the wife of the search program. [Boo-hoo! I didn¡¯t expect that even a program in the game would have a wife when I haven¡¯t even touched a girl¡¯s hand in reality! It makes me sad!] Someone commented in the comment section, quickly causing many viewers to feel conflicted. At the same time, many people criticized At the same time, many people criticized Su Ping for tormenting his fans in this way. Soon, the woman went straight to the point and explained her purpose for coming. Although she was the man¡¯s wife, she had long disliked her husband. The woman also brought a piece of crucial information. The Keymaker didn¡¯t hide on his own accord, but was captured and locked up by the man! Angelica thought, ¡°No wonder nobody can find the Keymaker¡¯s whereabouts.¡± ¡°It indeed didn¡¯t take much effort! It turns out that there are indeed pennies from heaven!¡± After experiencing it, Angelica no longer had any doubts about what the Oracle said to her before. After all, everything the Oracle had said had come true! In the end, the woman brought Angelica, Morpheus, and the others to a basement. The woman wouldn¡¯t have any issues as she, Angelica, and the others entered the building because she was also the building¡¯s owner. In the deepest part of the basement, the woman opened a door, and everyone saw the long-lost Keymaker. The Keymaker¡¯s room was filled with all kinds of keys. It was obvious that the man had been asking the Keymaker to make all kinds of keys to meet his needs. ¡°I¡¯ll take you out of here, but I need you to help me.¡± Since Angelica was in someone else¡¯s territory, she didn¡¯t waste any time after meeting the Keymaker. She immediately expressed her attitude. Since the Keymaker had been locked up in the room for so many years, he obviously yearned for freedom. Hence, he agreed to Angelica¡¯s request without much hesitation. Afterward, Angelica and the others were prepared to leave the building with the Keymaker. However, before they could leave the hall, the man had already blocked their way with his subordinates. It was evident that somebody had informed him about the woman¡¯s conduct, prompting him to arrive and block the door. The man brought many subordinates with him, all carrying weapons. Soon, both parties started fighting. Since Angelica was the strongest person in the group, she naturally stood at the front and spoke loudly. ¡°You guys take the Keymaker and leave first. I¡¯ll cover you since they can¡¯t defeat me!¡± Morpheus didn¡¯t hesitate to leave after he heard Angelica¡¯s words. After all, in The Matrix I, as a Savior, Angelica had already awakened her superpowers. It could be said that no one could kill her in the virtual world of the Matrix. Hence, Morpheus took the Keymaker and prepared to leave. The man in black aimed at Angelica and the others and pulled the trigger. He intended to kill them right away. However, Angelica wasn¡¯t afraid of such a lineup and even showed her right hand in a cool manner. Angelica raised her right palm and aimed at the enemy in front of her. Although the sound of the gunshot was loud, the dense bullets all stopped in front of Angelica When her enemies¡¯ magazines were all empty, Angelica didn¡¯t have to do anything, and the bullets in the air fell to the ground. The scene was extremely cool. Not only were the NPCs in the game extremely shocked, but the live stream room viewers also exclaimed when they saw the scene. [Fuck! While it¡¯s not my first time observing Angelica employ this technique, I must admit that the capability to manipulate bullets is incredibly impressive!] [Haha! That¡¯s right! It will be great if I can have such an ability in reality. I will become invulnerable that time!] [I wonder if Angelica can control anything other than stopping bullets? For example, controlling a cannonball?] The man in black¡¯s subordinates naturally wouldn¡¯t give up on attacking Angelica when they saw that their firearms were useless against her. Meanwhile, since all kinds of cold weapons were hanging on the walls of the hall, the man in black¡¯s subordinates scattered and rushed to the stairs. They took the weapons from the walls and began to attack Angelica. At the same time, the man in black¡¯s two strange-looking white-haired twins didn¡¯t participate in the battle in the hall. Instead, they suddenly disappeared on the spot and turned into a spirit-like state to chase after Morpheus and the Keymaker. Upon seeing it, Angelica immediately made a decision. She had to end the battle as soon as possible and quickly go to Morpheus¡¯ aid! After all, the two white-haired twins were a program with special abilities. Morpheus was different from Angelica. He was just an ordinary person with powerful martial arts in this world. It was only a matter of time before those two guys caught up with Morpheus. Angelica and the man in black¡¯s subordinates began to fight. Since many types of weapons were hanging on the walls of the hall¡­ Therefore, Angelica could be considered to have gotten a kick out of it. After all, before entering the Matrix for the first time, everyone would learn all kinds of combat skills through the brain-computer interface. Even though there were many types of weapons here, no matter how strange the weapon shape was, or Angelica had never seen it before¡­ Angelica could use them as if they were her arms. It was as if she were extremely familiar with the weapons. The viewers of the live stream room were once again amazed as they witnessed Angelica repeatedly switch her weapon to defeat her opponent. Chapter 204 - 204 The Information From the Keymaker 204 The Information From the Keymaker [This is so cool! If I didn¡¯t subscribe to Angelica for a long time, I will never have thought that she is a girl!] [Haha! Angelica is definitely one of the most special streamers in the world. Angelica is live streaming fighting or killing NPCs while other female streamers are all dancing or playing some cute games. Her live stream is all about fighting zombies or robots.] [In terms of strength, I think Angelica¡¯s gaming skills are better than most boys, right? Anyway, I¡¯m inferior to her.] [Of course! Not only does Angelica play games every day to improve her skills, but she also clears all games in one go without looking at any guides. She¡¯s so scary!] Just as the live stream room viewers were amazed by Angelica¡¯s combat power and were enjoying the live stream, Angelica finally killed everyone in the hall. Although there were many kinds of weapons here, which provided many weapons for the man in black¡¯s subordinates¡­ However, they couldn¡¯t use the weapons as well as Angelica. On the contrary, Angelica often took away their weapons, which led her to kill them. Therefore, the battle didn¡¯t last too long, and Angelica soon killed all her enemies. Meanwhile, Angelica didn¡¯t have time to rest but immediately contacted Morpheus. At this moment, Angelica found out that Morpheus and the rest were engaged in a road chase with the white-haired twins and the Matrix¡¯s agents. Moreover, the battle was intense. Morpheus had only told Angelica his approximate location before cutting off the communication. It was obvious that the front-line situation didn¡¯t allow Morpheus to be distracted by other matters. Angelica didn¡¯t stay any longer. She leaped into the sky and soared in the Matrix¡¯s sky like Superman, quickly flying in the direction of the overpass. A few kilometers away from the overpass, Angelica could see the chaos on the road. There were exploded vehicles here, and many of them were stuck in the road or had broken down. It was clear that there had been an intense battle on the road not long ago, and then Angelica¡¯s eyes locked onto the two big trucks. It was because the two trucks were driving in opposite directions. Angelica predicted that if they didn¡¯t slow down, they would hit each other at full speed a few seconds later. Although Angelica couldn¡¯t contact Morpheus at the moment, she could immediately tell that something was wrong with the two trucks based on her hunch. Angelica¡¯s intuition told her that Morpheus was in one of the cars. Hence, she sped up and finally arrived at the place the moment the two big trucks collided. As expected, Morpheus and the Keymaker had already jumped out of the truck before the two trucks collided. The terrifying explosion also sent their bodies flying into the sky. Angelica rushed over and grabbed Morpheus and the Keymaker by the collar, taking them into the sky and successfully avoiding the explosion on the road. [Phew! Isn¡¯t this too exciting? If Angelica was late for a second, I¡¯m afraid these two people would die from falling from the sky.] [There¡¯s a high chance that they¡¯ll fall between the wreckage of two trucks and burn to death. I can only say that Angelica came at the right time!] [I didn¡¯t expect Morpheus to be so powerful. He surprisingly can hold back several agents without Angelica¡¯s help. If Angelica doesn¡¯t exist, he would be the most powerful human in the world.] [There¡¯s also Trinity! We can¡¯t underestimate her strength too.] Angelica immediately contacted Trinity after she saved Morpheus and the Keymaker. She heaved a sigh of relief when she learned that Trinity was also safe. The series of battles happened too suddenly. Firstly, Angelica took the elevator to the building¡¯s ground floor and was ready to leave. Afterward, she suddenly had to battle with the man in black¡¯s subordinates. Angelica then had to rush to the highway to save her teammates. The battle had been at least 15 minutes since Angelica rushed to the highway to save Morpheus and the Keymaker. During this time, Angelica¡¯s mind was always in a tense state, and she didn¡¯t have any chance to rest. At this moment, Angelica could finally catch her breath. However, she had no intention of pausing the game. Instead, she brought her two companions to a safe place. After everyone rested in a safe place, they gathered together and began to ask the Keymaker how to enter the core of the Matrix. The Keymaker finally revealed the biggest secret of the Matrix. After all, the Keymaker was one of the oldest programs in the Matrix, so he knew a lot of the Matrix¡¯s secrets. According to the Keymaker¡¯s introduction, the place that Angelica and the rest were looking for was located in a building. Only the key made by the Keymaker could open the door inside the building. Furthermore, countless doors in the building could only be opened with a specific key. Of course, it wasn¡¯t the most important thing. After finding the Keymaker, opening the door became the simplest thing. The crucial problem now was how to enter the building. The Keymaker frowned and spoke in a serious tone. ¡°There¡¯s no way to enter this building by force because there¡¯s a very sensitive alarm system inside.¡± ¡°As long as someone sneaks into the building, no matter how careful they are, as long as they make any movement, it will immediately trigger the alarm. At that time, the entire building will explode and destroy everything!¡± ¡°Hence, if you want to enter the building, you have to turn off the alarm system!¡± Angelica immediately asked in confusion, ¡°Then where is the power source for the alarm system, and how do I turn it off?¡± The Keymaker said indifferently, ¡°The power source of the alarm system is connected to the city¡¯s circuit, so if you want to turn it off, you have to turn off at least half of the city¡¯s circuit!¡± ¡°Moreover, you can¡¯t just turn off the main circuit. You have to turn off all the backup power supplies as well. Only then will the alarm system not be triggered. Afterward, you can go in, find the door, and open it!¡± ¡°After turning off the power, you have 314 seconds to open the door to the core of the Matrix. Only the Savior can open that door!¡± Everyone quickly realized that they had to take part in the operation for Angelica to enter the Matrix after hearing the Keymaker¡¯s explanation. Chapter 205 ?205 The Real Tool After all, Angelica only had a total of five minutes to move after turning off the power. Moreover, Angelica could only turn off the alarm system. Hence, the agents would notice her actions. If only she and Morpheus were on the move, they wouldn¡¯t have enough time if they were caught. After some discussion, it was decided that Morpheus and Angelica would not be the only ones participating in the operation. The people from the other two spaceships would also participate in the operation. They only had one mission. One of the female captains¡¯ goals was to blow up the power station, while the other ship¡¯s crew was responsible for turning off the backup power supply! Angelica was the only person who could open the door to the core of the Matrix. She of course had to go directly to the building. The operation immediately began. Angelica led the Keymaker into the building after the power supply in the city was cut off. Afterward, she followed the Keymaker and went to find the gate where the core was. However, as soon as they entered the pure white passage that they had seen before, they found Smith waiting for them. Besides, Smith wasn¡¯t alone. He had brought along countless clones. [What a troublesome person!] [Smith is just like a piece of chewing gum that keeps sticking to Angelica. If it wasn¡¯t for Smith¡¯s existence, Angelica would have already cleared the game!] [That¡¯s right! Smith¡¯s existence is completely unreasonable. He has clearly been destroyed in The Matrix I, but how can he appear in The Matrix II again?!] [However, the game won¡¯t be challenging without Smith, right?] The live stream room viewers were discussing the game¡¯s plot and the various problems that Angelica had encountered. On the other side, Angelica was already engaged in a battle with the many clones of Smith. As the space in the passage was too small, Angelica couldn¡¯t use many of her superpowers. Hence, she could only have close combat with Smith¡¯s clones. During the battle, when the Keymaker who had been hiding behind Angelica, saw no one noticed him, he quickly found a key to open a door beside him and left the passage. Afterward, the Keymaker suddenly came out from another door, and the door was located behind Smith¡¯s clones, which was the place where Angelica was originally going. Upon seeing it, Angelica started to fight even harder. She had to help the Keymaker attract the attention of the Smith agents so that the Keymaker would have time to find the key to open the door. Finally, the Keymaker lived up to everyone¡¯s expectations and was worthy of being the man in the Matrix who could open all the doors. The Keymaker finally put the key into the lock, and the door opened after turning it. However, the sound of the door opening also attracted Agent Smith¡¯s attention. Taking advantage of Smith¡¯s distraction, Angelica grabbed Morpheus, who was beside her. They then flew directly through the crowd of Smith¡¯s clones, directly entering the opened door. At the same time, Agent Smith¡¯s clones all pulled out their pistols and started shooting. The Keymaker hurriedly closed the door, but when the door closed, the Keymaker¡¯s body was already hit by countless bullets. He fell to the ground with blood flowing out of his mouth. Seeing the scene, no matter if it was Angelica or the countless live stream room viewers, they all felt extremely heartbroken. After all, the Keymaker contributed to everyone, and now he had died so dramatically. [I finally understand. The Keymaker is just a tool!] [Now that he had done his role, so Su Ping designed his death!] [Su Ping is guilty of the most heinous crime. How can he let the Keymaker die in such a dramatic way when he has helped us so much?!] [Is Su Ping watching the live stream now? Come out and explain to us what¡¯s going on!] Of course, Su Ping had no idea what the viewers were saying because he didn¡¯t even watch Angelica¡¯s live stream. Su Ping had just received an email, and the content of the email represented the attitude of major game development companies around the world toward him. One could say that Su Ping had become a benchmark in the gaming industry. No matter how big a game development company was in the world, no matter how rebellious they were, they had to be polite to Su Ping. The game development companies were planning to make Su Ping a representative of the game industry in this world. They wanted Su Ping to cooperate fairly with every game development company. In this way, everyone could get Su Ping¡¯s help. Everyone could avoid engaging in a vicious competition to win Su Ping¡¯s favor. Of course, it was also because many game development companies were jealous of Steam for getting huge benefits while cooperating with Su Ping. After all, Su Ping had only worked with one game company, Steam, so far. All his games were exclusively released on Steam, which was a big blow to the other game development companies. Therefore, Su Ping was very busy at the moment. He had to deal with many invitations for cooperation from different game development companies. He was now focusing on making a lot of money. Su Ping didn¡¯t have much energy to pay attention to Angelica¡¯s live stream. Angelica was naturally a little sad about the Keymaker¡¯s death. After all, it was a surreal, immersive experience game. If one stayed in the game world for too long, they might even forget their identity in reality and forget that it was just a game world that Su Ping created. Under these circumstances, it was natural for people to feel genuine affection for the NPCs and virtual characters present. However, Angelica also knew that the game wasn¡¯t over yet. So many people sacrificed, and she had also put in so much effort and sweat. Wasn¡¯t it all to end the war between humanity and machines? Moreover, the scenery that Angelica had seen in Zion was still vivid in her mind. The anticipation in everyone¡¯s eyes was still fresh in her memory. Finally, Angelica stood in front of the door at the end of the passage. She was going to open the door to the core of the Matrix and then shut down the system of the Matrix. Angelica would end the war so that all humans could return to live on the surface and become the true owners of this planet. As the door opened, a ray of light shone on Angelica. Chapter 206 ?206 The Truth of the World [Finally, the war is going to end. When Angelica enters the room in front of her, she will clear the game, right?] [That should be the case. After all, it¡¯s the core of the Matrix. As long as Angelica turns off everything inside, the Matrix should also turn off.] [As long as the Matrix can¡¯t control those machines and all the humans, then the war will be over.] [Finally, we are here! I have to say that although the game isn¡¯t as scary as Zombie Apocalypse, it isn¡¯t easy to play at all!] When the live stream room viewers saw Angelica was about to enter the room in front of her to end the game, they began to discuss enthusiastically. Some people even began to fantasize about the plot of The Matrix III. However, the topic was a little difficult to discuss. After all, if the war between humanity and machines ended in The Matrix II, what plot should Su Ping create in The Matrix III? Would Su Ping create plots about humans and machines building the world together and restoring their past civilization? Although the players were looking forward to such a plot, it was still a clich??. Hence, most players believed that Su Ping wouldn¡¯t create such a clich?? plot. Finally, Angelica pushed open the door in front of her and walked in. When her eyes finally adapted to the bright light in the room, she was stunned to see the decorations and displays. It was because Angelica didn¡¯t see a control panel that could shut down the Matrix, nor did she see any switches. There were countless small rectangular televisions all over the surrounding walls, and on the television screens, they all showed Angelica¡¯s current appearance. Angelica saw an old man with white hair and a white beard sitting in the middle of the room. Why would an old man appear here? What was the person¡¯s identity? Why could he come here? Angelica tried to communicate with the old man in front of her. After listening to the old man¡¯s self-introduction, Angelica was shocked. According to what the old man said, he was the architect of the entire system of the Matrix, which meant that he was the creator of the Matrix! ¡°You created the Matrix? But how do you survive in this world for so long? Why are you staying here?¡± At this moment, Angelica¡¯s heart was filled with endless doubts. Of course, she doubted the identity of the old man in front of her. Therefore, Angelica continued to ask the old man in front of her. ¡°Since you are the creator of this system, it means that you were a human. But why did you let the machine kill people and let humans live in the underground world?¡± ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you control the machines to help humans live a better life and stop the war between humanity and machines?¡± Angelica couldn¡¯t understand the old man¡¯s actions. Hearing it, the old man suddenly laughed softly and said indifferently. ¡°Huh, you¡¯re right, and that¡¯s what I did in the past.¡± The old man¡¯s words made Angelica even more confused. She thought, ¡°What does he mean? Why does he say that had done something like this before?¡± However, according to the history left behind by Morpheus and Zion, Angelica had never heard that machines used to live in peace with humans. Angelica only knew that since the awakening of the Matrix¡¯s self-consciousness, the machines had firmly controlled the world, so that humans could only live underground like mice. ¡°When have you done such a thing? Why didn¡¯t I know about it?¡± At this moment, the small televisions around Angelica started to play videos related to her. For example, one of the screens showed that Angelica raised her middle finger at the old man in front of her. There was also another screen showing that Angelica looked extremely grumpy as if she was going to beat up the old man in front of her. Angelica believed that she wouldn¡¯t do such a thing. Besides, she didn¡¯t have to be too angry with an NPC since she was just playing a game. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why are there so many of me on the screens? I don¡¯t recall doing these things!¡± The old man said with a smile. ¡°You indeed didn¡¯t do such a thing, but the former of you did it!¡± At this moment, the old man finally began to explain his previous words. He explained what he had done to try to bring a better life to mankind. ¡°Actually, the Matrix you¡¯re seeing now is the sixth version!¡± ¡°When I first created the Matrix, my idea was indeed to bring a better life to humans through it. I hoped to create a perfect world for humans by using a tool that can provide sufficient materials.¡± ¡°However, the final result proved that my idea was completely wrong. I tried to create many ideal worlds in the past six versions.¡± ¡°For example, I tried to create a world that was extremely rich in resources, where everyone can live a rich life.¡± As the old man explained, the small televisions around Angelica started to show the life scenes of those who had once lived in the Matrix. The people here lived under a blue sky and white clouds, and everyone smiled happily. However, in just an instant, the scene showed a scene of war. Countless people died and lost their lives in the war. In the end, a war broke out all over the world. When the scene appeared in the video, the old man helplessly smiled and spread his hands. He said. ¡°Look! This is how humans are. Humans are born evil, which can¡¯t be changed physically.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve not only tried to create a wealthy world. Instead, I¡¯ve also tried to create a world where everyone had equal rights. However, extreme exploitation still appeared in that world, which also led the world toward destruction.¡± The old man suddenly changed the topic. ¡°However, I also discovered something while I¡¯m trying to create different worlds. I noticed that a program seemed to have found a way to help humans completely settle down.¡± ¡°The program can prevent humans from launching wars, killing each other, and destroying the environment which led the world toward destruction.¡± Upon hearing it, Angelica couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously. ¡°What is this program?¡± When the old man heard Angelica¡¯s question, he smiled. ¡°It¡¯s the Oracle!¡± Chapter 207 ?207 Two Choices The Oracle?! As soon as the old man said it, it wasn¡¯t just Angelica who was shocked in the game. It was because nobody had expected the Oracle, who had always been kind to everyone and easily won people¡¯s favor, would have such an important identity. [Oh my goodness! I didn¡¯t expect the Oracle to be acquainted with this old man. If that¡¯s the case, why did the Oracle ask Angelica to find the old man herself? Why didn¡¯t she just bring Angelica to see him?] [That¡¯s right! If the Oracle knew who this old man was, why did she choose to do nothing but provide Angelica with some guidance? What¡¯s the point of that?] [I¡¯m now seriously suspecting that the Oracle¡¯s purpose might not be simple. There must be some secrets between her and this old man!] Meanwhile, Angelica had the same thoughts as the live stream room viewers. Angelica immediately asked, ¡°What exactly are you going to do to help humans remain peaceful?¡± The old man said with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s simple. She and I created a system that¡¯s similar to an automatic loop system, just like the garbage and recycling system in the city.¡± ¡°In this system, I will let the Oracle choose a Savior after a series of arrangements.¡± ¡°Afterward, I will let the Savior go through many challenges according to the program I¡¯ve prepared in advance. In the end, the Savior will enter the core of the Matrix.¡± ¡°When the Savior enters the core of the Matrix, Zion will be destroyed.¡± ¡°The Savior will then rebuild Zion with 16 women and seven men.¡± ¡°When the population of Zion recovers again and humans start to expand their territories, they will find a new Savior. The whole situation is a loop.¡± ¡°In this way, we can maintain a dynamic balance between the repeated destruction and rebirth of humans. It will prevent the system from collapsing.¡± ¡°There were five Saviors who came to the core of the Matrix before you. However, you are the most special one I have ever seen!¡± At this point, the truth of the world had been revealed to Angelica, just like peeling off an onion. For the first time, the players could finally understand the world of the Matrix, which had always confused them since The Matrix I. Many people felt as if they had been enlightened. [Oh! So that¡¯s how it is! This old man has designed the world in this way since the beginning. The people living in this world never had a second choice.] [I suddenly feel that the NPCs in this game are pitiful. No matter what they do or how hard they try, they can¡¯t change the outcome.] [That¡¯s right! After all, the creator has controlled the world from the beginning. To them, it¡¯s like a game. Their whole life is controlled by others from the very beginning.] [By the way, is Su Ping trying to deliver us a message by making this game? Could it be that he wants to tell us that our current world is also a game?] [Hiss! It¡¯s terrifying if you think about it carefully. Please don¡¯t say that. It¡¯s simply terrifying!] [I¡¯d like to call Su Ping the best game producer in the world, not only in the technical aspect of the game but also in the game¡¯s content and plot!] [It¡¯s like Su Ping is creating a real-world in each of his games. I¡¯m really curious about what his brain is made of. It¡¯s ridiculous!] The live stream room viewers praised Su Ping, the game creator, while they were lamenting the truth of the Matrix. Even Angelica couldn¡¯t help but exclaim when she saw the comments. ¡°Su Ping is so scary. I want to turn off the live stream right now and ask him what kind of mental state he was in when he created this game!¡± However, since the game had just entered its climax, Angelica certainly wouldn¡¯t end the game now. Besides, the game was about to end. Angelica thought that she could ask Su Ping about his creative ideas later. Angelica focused her attention back on the game. At this moment, the white-haired old man gave Angelica two choices. After all, the white-haired old man had just said that Angelica was the most special Savior he had ever seen, so he was willing to give her another choice. If it were the Saviors from the past, there wouldn¡¯t be such a discussion session at all. The white-haired old man said indifferently, ¡°You have two choices now. Do you see that there are two doors in this room?¡± ¡°If you enter the door on your right, you will save Zion, help humankind avoid destruction, and start over their lives.¡± ¡°If you enter the door on your left, Zion will immediately be destroyed, and everything will be restarted as before. Of course, the good thing is you can save your girlfriend.¡± At this time, Angelica was also in a dilemma. Although it was just a game and everyone in the game was just a string of codes composed of zero and one¡­ However, it was a virtual reality game. For the players who played the game, every NPC was like a living person. Besides, the games that Su Ping created had always been realistic. The NPCs all had their distinctive personalities. So of course, Angelica didn¡¯t want to watch her teammates die, even if it was a game. [What are you hesitating for? This old man must be bluffing. After all, we can always start over when the city is destroyed. At worst, we will only experience another destruction!] [That¡¯s right! People can¡¯t be saved once they¡¯re dead, and the destruction of the city must have something to do with the machines. The city can¡¯t be gone just because of this old man¡¯s words! Let¡¯s save Trinity first! Afterward, we¡¯ll discuss how to save the city!] [Stop hesitating! If you delay any longer, you might only have one choice left.] [I bet that Angelica will choose to save her teammates. I¡¯ve watched her live streams for so long, and she¡¯s not someone who would abandon her teammates!] Chapter 208 ?208 Fishing Bullets Out With Bare Hands At this moment, every live stream room viewer was waiting for Angelica to make her final choice. Although it was just a game, every viewer seemed to be waiting for Angelica to decide whether to save the world. Everyone felt their hearts clench. Finally, after about half a minute of thinking, Angelica took a deep breath and stopped hesitating. Angelica used her superpower as the Savior, instantly opened the door on the left, and rushed out. Afterward, she returned to the machine room. Meanwhile, the agents were pursuing Trinity. The agents even shoved her to the edge of the floor. Trinity was forced to crash into the glass curtain wall and jump down from the building to survive. However, the agents didn¡¯t want to let Trinity go so easily. Instead, they shot wildly at her, who had already jumped off the building. Trinity wasn¡¯t lucky enough to survive the rain of bullets, and one of the bullets hit her chest, severely injuring her. When Angelica flew out of the room, the building¡¯s security system, which had already been restarted, began its self-destruction process. The terrifying explosion and flames spread out from Angelica¡¯s heel. Angelica flew all the way to catch Trinity, who was falling to the ground. They then flew to the top of a building in the distance. Angelica put Trinity on the platform at the edge of the building. At this moment, she only found that Trinity had been shot and was on the verge of death. Seeing it, Angelica couldn¡¯t help but feel a little regretful. She thought, ¡°If I¡¯d decided to save Trinity without any hesitation, she wouldn¡¯t have been injured.¡± At this moment, most of the live stream room viewers also thought that Trinity would probably die. [Sigh, it¡¯s such a pity. If Angelica came a little earlier, she might be able to stop those agents from hunting Trinity down.] [That¡¯s right! I don¡¯t know what Angelica was hesitating about just now. She didn¡¯t act like an indecisive person when she played games in the past.] [Oh, damn! Zion is about to be destroyed, and Trinity is dead. It¡¯s like drawing water with a wicker basket. This time, Angelica probably won¡¯t be able to clear the game in one go.] [By the way, what is the final condition for clearing the game? Is it to save the city or to save the people around the player?] [Of course, players should save the city! Do you even need to ask?] Meanwhile, Angelica didn¡¯t have the energy to pay attention to the viewers¡¯ comments. It was because she was thinking about how to save Trinity. Suddenly, Angelica remembered that she had superpowers. Since she was the Savior, she was almost omnipotent in the Matrix. Moreover, everything in this world was made up of codes, and everything was virtual. Even Trinity, who was injured, wasn¡¯t really injured in the real world. It was just a string of data. Since Trinity¡¯s data was damaged, it led her brain to believe that she was really injured. As long as Trinity didn¡¯t die in the Matrix and could return to the real world alive, she would be able to recover. At this point, Angelica closed her eyes. She felt as if she had entered the world in her mind. Since her eyes were closed, Angelica was supposed to be unable to see anything. Suddenly, Angelica saw countless lines of code appear in front of her. These lines of code formed the entire world around her. Trinity¡¯s body was also composed of countless lines of digital code. Angelica saw that there was a mess in the middle of the code. A peanut-sized piece of code was obstructing the running of the surrounding code. ¡°It¡¯s the bullet! If I can use some codes to take out the bullet and let the surrounding code operate normally, Trinity¡¯s injury should be cured!¡± Meanwhile, Trinity¡¯s condition was rapidly deteriorating, Angelica definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to find a hospital to save her in time. After all, it was the Matrix. The agents would definitely find out their location and come to stop Angelica if she seek help from a doctor. Therefore, Angelica could only rely on herself to complete everything. Since Angelica had no other choice now, she would just do it as a last resort. Angelica slowly reached out and directly inserted her hand into Trinity¡¯s body. Then, Angelica¡¯s palm slowly moved down and wrapped around the code that represented the bullet. Finally, Angelica took the bullet out of Trinity¡¯s body as if she were fishing something out. The scene was so magical that almost every live stream room viewer was stunned. Of course, the people in the spaceship who were paying attention to the Matrix¡¯s data all had their eyes wide open. They all looked like they were in disbelief. Trinity also vomited blood in the real world, but she quickly returned to normal. Trinity¡¯s patient monitor even showed that her vitality had returned to normal. A few seconds later, Trinity, who had been seriously injured and was on the verge of death, opened her eyes and stared at Angelica. The two of them then hugged each other tightly. Soon, Angelica and Trinity found a phone booth and returned to the real world. At this moment, the climax of the game was temporarily over. It gave the live stream room viewers some time to discuss what had just happened. To the viewers, the part where Angelica directly put her hand into Trinity¡¯s body to get the bullet was undoubtedly the most shocking scene. [Oh my goodness! I¡¯ve never thought of this before. How did Angelica think of getting the bullet out in such a way?] [Angelica is a gaming genius! I dare say that only one out of ten thousand people will have such an idea!] [One out of ten thousand people? Isn¡¯t the ratio a little too high? I think it¡¯s more like a ten-fold reduction!] [The previous scene will definitely make Newton so surprised and resurrected. It¡¯s too ridiculous!] [Haha! Angelica has shown us another amazing scene. She is like the god in the Matrix!] Chapter 209 209 Mind Control They returned to the real world. A few Sentinels had already pursued them after detecting the spaceship¡¯s signal before anyone on the ship could take a brief rest. The spaceship was no longer capable to fight because they had used its electromagnetic pulse bomb before. Therefore, the people on the spaceship could only abandon the ship and escape. However, it was once the sewer of the city, and the Sentinels were more familiar with the terrain here. Although everyone had left the spaceship long ago, they hadn¡¯t gone too far. Hence, the Sentinels still discovered them and caught up with them. [They are doomed! These Sentinels won¡¯t let Angelica and the others go so easily. Is she going to fail the game in such a way?] [I think Angelica and her teammates are in a bad situation now. After all, they don¡¯t have any weapons with them. By the way, why can¡¯t the spaceships in this world be equipped with weapons?] [Maybe it¡¯s for the sake of flexibility. After all, this world is now controlled by machines, and the area where the spaceship is active is also a place ruled by the Sentinels.] [It seems like Angelica¡¯s record is going to be completely broken this time, right?] Meanwhile, most of the viewers didn¡¯t believe that Angelica would win. They all thought that she would fail this time. Angelica didn¡¯t focus all her attention on the comments but was thinking about how to solve the current predicament. Based on Angelica¡¯s understanding of Su Ping¡¯s game, she knew the game was going to end. It was very likely that the Sentinels would be the final challenge of the game. As long as Angelica survived the crisis, she would clear the game. Angelica suddenly had an idea when she saw the Sentinels rapidly approaching her. ¡°Since I¡¯m the Savior and can control everything in the Matrix, these Sentinels should belong to the same system as the Matrix.¡± ¡°Since I can control everything in the Matrix, can I control the Sentinels?¡± Angelica was shocked by her thoughts. After all, according to the situation in the game¡­ Angelica was now in the game¡¯s real world. If she could control the machines in the real world, she would be considered to have superpowers. However, Angelica didn¡¯t think too much about it and did take action. After all, Angelica could save someone who was about to be shot to death in the Matrix, which was already outrageous. It didn¡¯t seem to be a problem for Angelica to do another similarly outrageous thing. Therefore, Angelica looked at the Sentinels that were rapidly approaching her and reached her right hand. Just like the characters in superpower anime, Angelica tried to control the Sentinels with her will. Now, Angelica imagined the place she was in as the Matrix and communicated with the Sentinels in front of her in such a way. All the live stream room viewers were staring at Angelica. Everyone¡¯s hearts clenched when they watched Angelica close her eyes. [What is Angelica doing? This isn¡¯t the Matrix!] [Could it be that Angelica is going to destroy these Sentinels with her will? But is that even possible?] [To Angelica, nothing seems impossible. After all, this is the game world. Many ridiculous things can become reasonable.] Meanwhile, the more the live stream room viewers thought about it, the more they felt that everything was possible. Everyone was looking forward to Angelica¡¯s next move. It was as if the electronic components inside the Sentinels had short-circuited, and the number of electric arcs was increasing. ¡°Wow! It seems like Angelica is going to succeed!¡± When the viewers saw the scene, it was as if they had collectively reached a climax. They pointed at the screen in front of them and shouted happily. Angelica continued to work hard and control the Sentinels to suffer more damage. Finally, the Sentinels were getting more and more damaged and could no longer fly in the tunnel. After a few seconds, the Sentinels in the air finally lost all power and even exploded. In the end, these Sentinels were no longer able to maintain their stability and all turned into a pile of scrap metal that fell on the ground. Although Angelica had resolved the crisis of the Sentinels, her vision suddenly turned black and she lost consciousness after she had done everything. Looking at the darkness in front of her, Angelica switched out of the game world and returned to her room in the real world. Just like the darkness in the game, the screen displayed in the live stream room was also dark. It seemed that there was no problem with Angelica¡¯s equipment, but with the game. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why is there nothing in the game?¡± Angelica looked at the pitch-black screen in the game with a dumbfounded expression, not knowing what she should do now. At this moment, the viewers suddenly reminded Angelica in the comments. [Hurry up and reconnect to the game. It seems that you have successfully cleared the game!] [That¡¯s right! I think the last scene was Angelica saving everyone on the ship and then falling unconscious.] [As for why the screen turned black, it should be because the game has been cleared, so there are no following plots! Therefore, the game naturally shows nothing!] After reading the viewers¡¯ reminder, Angelica felt it made sense, so she returned to the game. As expected, Angelica soon saw two big words appear on the dark game interface. ¡°Game cleared.¡± Everything was just as the live stream room viewers had expected. The game was now cleared, and this time, just like before, Angelica successfully cleared the game in one go! It was as if Angelica never let her viewers down. Every time she faced a game she had never played before, she could adjust herself to her best state. Afterward, Angelica would clear the game in one go. Looking at the two big words, Angelica finally heaved a long sigh of relief. She thought, ¡°I¡¯m close to failing just now.¡± ¡°If I can¡¯t think of a way to deal with the Sentinels, I might have to restart the game.¡± Even Angelica, who had a good mentality, couldn¡¯t take restarting the game while she had played to such a point. Chapter 210 ?210 Successfully Cleared the Game After a while, Angelica closed the game and took off all her equipment. ¡°Everyone, please wait for a moment. I need to go wash my face first. The live stream will continue when I come back.¡± Angelica quickly left after she informed the live stream room viewers. Although the streamer, Angelica, had left, the live stream room viewers were still discussing the previous game plot. After all, many of the plots in The Matrix II and Angelica¡¯s actions were more outrageous than in The Matrix I. It gave the viewers even strong visual effects. For example, in the scene in the residential complex of The Matrix II, where countless Agent Smiths were pressing on Angelica¡¯s body, forming a pile of humans to make her unable to move. However, Angelica successfully resolved the situation in the end. Another example was the scene of Angelica fishing a bullet out with her bare hands, which was also shocking. Of course, the viewers were shocked by the scene where Angelica used her mind to control the Sentinel to self-destruct, thus saving everyone on the spaceship. Any one of these clips could be considered an amazing classic in any other game. However, all these scenes appeared in the same game at the same time, which was naturally amazing. After a few minutes, Angelica finally returned to the live stream room. At this time, she had adjusted her state to face every viewer. ¡°Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting. Although there were many twists and turns in the game, we finally completed this game smoothly. We also cleared the game on the first try!¡± ¡°In my opinion, The Matrix II is easier to play than The Matrix I. After all, we have superpowers in this game since we are the Saviors.¡± ¡°In The Matrix I, we could only use our superpowers to defeat the agents at the very end. Before that, we could only be on the receiving end of the attacks.¡± ¡°Hence, The Matrix I is your best choice if you are the kind of player who wants to experience a game that is a combination of science fiction and superpowers!¡± Angelica said it seriously, but the live stream room viewers began to tease her. [Haha! Angelica, I expected you to do this. The first thing you did after clearing the games isn¡¯t to recall the game plot but to promote Su Ping¡¯s game to everyone!] [Angelica is originally such a good girl. Why is her mind filled with Su Ping¡¯s matters now?] [No! I¡¯m not buying. Su Ping has earned so much from us. Last time, he complained that he had too much money to spend. We should let him experience what it¡¯s like to be poor!] [I have to say that Angelica¡¯s comment is quite pertinent. She didn¡¯t exaggerate the game because of her relationship with Su Ping.] [Angelica is right. For players who like sci-fi, The Matrix II is their perfect choice!] [Speaking of which, when will The Matrix III be officially released? I can¡¯t wait to play the new plot!] [It¡¯s all because Su Ping¡¯s game is too tempting!] When Angelica saw the viewers¡¯ enthusiastic comments, she didn¡¯t pay much attention to the heated discussion about Su Ping. She only focused on promoting The Matrix II. ¡°Everyone, please don¡¯t hurry. After all, Su Ping is just an ordinary person. I admit that he¡¯s talented, but I¡¯m afraid he can¡¯t release The Matrix III in a short time.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re in a hurry to play The Matrix III, I can ask Su Ping on your behalf about the game¡¯s production progress. How about it?¡± Hearing the last sentence, the live stream room viewers instantly became more excited. After all, Su Ping would always provide Angelica with many important details when she asked him. Even if the viewers knew Su Ping couldn¡¯t suddenly release The Matrix III like a magic trick, they believed it would still be good to know when The Matrix III would be released and conjure it up. [Great! It¡¯s a good idea? By the way, when are you going to ask Su Ping?] [That¡¯s great! I knew that Angelica would look forward to playing The Matrix III as well. However, I don¡¯t think Su Ping¡¯s progress is fast.] [I think so too. After all, Su Ping has just released The Matrix II. It¡¯s too early to discuss the release of The Matrix III.] Angelica smiled and said when she saw the live stream room viewers discussed the topic. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll ask Su Ping after the live stream is over. I¡¯ll post Su Ping¡¯s reply on my personal social media account after I get the results.¡± ¡°Everyone can look for my post to learn about the progress of The Matrix III. How about it?¡± The viewers naturally agreed with Angelica¡¯s approach. Although she was unwilling to ask immediately, they felt that it was still good to get the news as soon as possible. Angelica then opened other games to play. They weren¡¯t immersive experience games but games that could be played on her computer, and she continued her live stream. Although immersive experience games were more realistic and allowed people to experience the game more easily¡­ However, immersive experience games were very energy-consuming, especially for people like Angelica, who wanted to clear the game in one go every time. Players would usually tense up their nerves when playing immersive experience games. It resulted in players being mentally exhausted as if they had gone through a long-distance race after playing the game. At this moment, Angelica naturally needed to play ordinary games to relax her body and mind. Angelica¡¯s live stream room returned to its usual calm, although some people were still discussing The Matrix II. However, most viewers had already focused on the game that Angelica was playing. At this moment, no one realized a storm was about to sweep the global gaming industry. Su Ping would become the focus of the whole world in the upcoming event. He would establish his status. Chapter 211 ?211 The Master of Showing Off At around 10 p.m., Angelica finally ended all of her live stream content for the day. After turning off the live stream, she went to wash her face and sober up, then sat back in front of her computer. As Angelica picked up her phone, she suddenly remembered what she had promised the viewers during her live stream. Angelica promised the viewers to ask Su Ping when would he release The Matrix III or the game¡¯s production. It was easy for Angelica to do what she said. After all, since Angelica and Su Ping had a good relationship, there wasn¡¯t much to hide between them. Soon, Angelica sent a message to Su Ping. ¡°Are you free? How¡¯s the progress of The Matrix III? When I live-streamed The Matrix II today, the viewers urged me to ask you. Are you free to talk to me?¡± Su Ping replied to Angelica soon after she sent the message. Since it was already past 10 p.m., Su Ping naturally had nothing to do. Su Ping said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s still in progress and almost complete. If you want to know more about the details, why don¡¯t we meet tomorrow?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s have a meal together, and I¡¯ll tell you about The Matrix III in detail. What do you think?¡± Angelica was pleasantly surprised. After all, she liked Su Ping. She was happy to be able to have a meal with him alone. Therefore, Angelica agreed without any hesitation. ¡°No problem. When do we meet tomorrow? Where are we going to eat?¡± Su Ping soon sent a time and location to Angelica¡¯s phone. Soon, they said good night to each other and ended the conversation. Even though Su Ping and Angelica had gone to rest, the uproar caused by The Matrix II on the internet had yet to die down. Moreover, people who paid close attention to game development companies and were more sensitive to the information in the gaming industry had also begun to notice something different last night. They had a feeling that something important was about to happen. Of course, they had no way of knowing what was going on. However, many people had already realized the current had formed a relatively clear trend, and something was about to happen. At noon the next day, Su Ping and Angelica met at the place they had agreed on the day before. Today, Angelica was wearing a short black dress with a hair accessory on her head. With her innocent and attractive face, she looked as attractive as a little devil that had walked out of a fairy tale. Angelica had attracted a lot of attention on her way to the restaurant. It could be said that more than 90% of the people focused on her appearance. ¡°Hi, I¡¯m here. Your game, The Matrix II, is as popular as ever. I wonder what our genius game producer, Su Ping, thinks about it?¡± Angelica said to Su Ping with a cheeky smile. Su Ping answered with a smile. ¡°But I feel calm now.¡± As soon as Su Ping finished his words, he saw Angelica pouting. She was suspicious and asked. ¡°When did you start learning to secretly show off? Don¡¯t you know that if you had said those words in my live stream, you would have been attacked and boycotted by all the viewers!¡± Angelica shook her head helplessly as if Su Ping¡¯s behavior was giving her a headache. Su Ping said with a faint smile. ¡°You all think that I¡¯m secretly showing off, but what can I do?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just telling the truth, so let¡¯s change the topic. What do you think of my game, The Matrix II?¡± ¡°Whether it¡¯s the plot or the game¡¯s operations, is there anything that I need to improve on?¡± Upon hearing the question, Angelica suddenly became serious and began to seriously recall the game content that she had played during yesterday¡¯s live stream. After a long time, Angelica couldn¡¯t find any flaws in the game and could only say a short sentence at the end. ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything to pick on. As for improvements, I can¡¯t give any suggestions. However, you haven¡¯t told me how the production of The Matrix III is going.¡± ¡°You said yesterday that you¡¯d almost finished the production of The Matrix III. Does it mean that the game will be officially released soon?¡± Angelica¡¯s tone was full of anticipation. After all, apart from being a game streamer, she was also a fan of Su Ping. Besides, Su Ping played a big part in Angelica¡¯s achievements in the live-streaming industry. After all, Angelica was only a slightly famous live streamer back then. However, there was still a huge gap between Angelica and the truly popular live streamers on the internet. The number of followers and popularity of Angelica¡¯s live stream rose rapidly like a rocket. Now, no matter what content Angelica streamed, as long as she was willing to do her live stream, there would be a fixed number of millions of viewers watching her live stream. If Angelica live-streamed Su Ping¡¯s new game, the number of viewers could increase by another few million. It could be said that at that time, the number of viewers in Angelica¡¯s live stream was almost comparable to the total number of viewers in the live stream room of all the other live streamers on the internet. It was a terrifying phenomenon. Such a phenomenon was unprecedented in the entire live-streaming industry. Therefore, apart from liking Su Ping, Angelica was also a loyal fan of Su Ping¡¯s games. Angelica was naturally excited when she learned from Su Ping that The Matrix was about to be completed. Chapter 212 - 212 Almost Completed 212 Almost Completed Su Ping thought about Angelica¡¯s question, organized his words, and said calmly. ¡°The Matrix III is almost done. You should know that I like to finish a game¡¯s production early.¡± ¡°For example, if I¡¯m making a game right now, the game released on the market must be the one that I¡¯ve already made.¡± ¡°In this way, new games can be released to players faster and better meet their needs. That¡¯s why I¡¯ve already started to make The Matrix III before the release of The Matrix II.¡± ¡°Actually, I can install The Matrix III on a USB drive in three days at the earliest if you want. You can exclusively try out the game in your live stream.¡± ¡°So, are you interested in doing this?¡± Angelica¡¯s eyes widened when she heard Su Ping¡¯s words. She looked at him in disbelief and said. ¡°Really? You¡¯re willing to let me play The Matrix III in advance? But The Matrix II has just been released. Aren¡¯t you worried that your actions will reduce everyone¡¯s curiosity and surprise?¡± Su Ping shook his head and chuckled as if he didn¡¯t care. ¡°Haha! You don¡¯t have to worry about it at all. Besides, do you have no confidence in my game by asking such a question?¡± ¡°The last thing I¡¯m worried about in my game is that the players have no curiosity and desire to play the game, regardless of whether they can watch the plot of my game in advance or try it out.¡± ¡°I believe that anyone who likes my game will download it and try it out as soon as it¡¯s officially released.¡± ¡°Hence, you don¡¯t have to worry about it at all, because there¡¯s absolutely no problem.¡± ¡°As long as you¡¯re willing, you can even try out all of my games beforehand in the future. I didn¡¯t ask you to do it before because you didn¡¯t take the initiative to look for me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m the kind of person who doesn¡¯t like to take the initiative. I prefer to be passive.¡± Su Ping winked at Angelica with a smile. The last part of his sentence was ambiguous. Therefore, Angelica glared at Su Ping after hearing his words. ¡°Hmph! I don¡¯t know what kind of nonsense you¡¯re thinking about. What do you mean by taking the initiative and being passive? It¡¯s so boring.¡± Su Ping spread his hands and said. ¡°Then what do you mean by that? Don¡¯t you want to try out The Matrix III in advance?¡± Upon hearing it, Angelica immediately changed her attitude, and a smile reappeared on her face. ¡°Hehe, I was just saying. How could I not want to play The Matrix III? When the game is ready, you have to give it to me as soon as possible.¡± ¡°A man can¡¯t go back on his word!¡± Su Ping shook his head helplessly at the speed at which Angelica changed her attitude. Su Ping thought, ¡°What an interesting person. I wonder what kind of environment Angelica lived in when she was young to make her personality so lively.¡± When Su Ping first met Angelica, he was almost misled by her appearance and thought that she was a quiet lady. However, after a period of interaction and understanding, Angelica completely changed Su Ping¡¯s initial impression of her. For the first time, Su Ping realized that you can¡¯t judge a book by its cover. Angelica¡¯s appearance was a huge contrast to her personality. The dishes that the two of them had ordered were quickly served on the table. They had already discussed the topic of The Matrix III before the dishes were served. Therefore, the two of them became much quieter during the meal. They only chatted occasionally, and the rest of the time, their attention was basically focused on tasting the delicious food. At 1 p.m., the two finally walked out of the restaurant. Meanwhile, Angelica said with some anticipation. ¡°Now that we¡¯ve finished eating, what are we going to do next?¡± Su Ping didn¡¯t answer the question directly. Instead, he pretended to be curious. ¡°Is there anything else you need to do? Didn¡¯t I only ask you out to have a meal? Now that we¡¯ve finished eating, of course, we¡¯ll go our separate ways.¡± Upon hearing it, Angelica was immediately unhappy and said in dissatisfaction. ¡°Can you be more serious? I¡¯m asking you a serious question. If you don¡¯t want to stay with me, I¡¯m leaving!¡± When Su Ping saw Angelica couldn¡¯t take his jokes, he said with a smile. ¡°Haha, I was just joking with you. Why did you take it seriously?¡± Angelica snorted arrogantly but didn¡¯t say anything else. All of a sudden, Su Ping said in a mysterious tone, ¡°I¡¯m going to meet someone important in a while, and this matter will not only affect me but the entire gaming industry and even the entire gaming live stream industry.¡± ¡°How about it? Do you want to go with me to meet those guys? Actually, I came out today to meet them. It¡¯s just a coincidence that I have lunch with you.¡± ¡°Since we¡¯re together now, why don¡¯t I bring you along? You can also get to know some of the big shots in the gaming industry.¡± ¡°Maybe it¡¯ll be of great help to your live-streaming career in the future. How about it?¡± Angelica finally understood why Su Ping had invited her out for lunch last night as soon as he said it. Obviously, Su Ping knew what was going to happen today. He asked Angelica out of her house to take her to gain worldly experience. There was no way that Angelica would miss such a good opportunity. Besides, Su Ping had said that it could be of great help to her live-streaming career. Moreover, the people they were going to meet were all big shots in the gaming industry. In this case, Angelica didn¡¯t even need to think about it before she immediately nodded and agreed. ¡°No problem. Shall we set off now?¡± Su Ping nodded with a smile at Angelica, who was full of anticipation. ¡°Great. Let¡¯s go now. I¡¯ve arranged to meet those people at 2 p.m. There¡¯s still more than half an hour left.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go! We¡¯ll take a taxi there!¡± Chapter 213 - 213 A Special Meeting 213 A Special Meeting Twenty minutes later, Su Ping and Angelica got out of the taxi. Meanwhile, they saw a coffee shop in front of them. Moreover, it was a very high-end coffee shop. The consumer group was also middle-class or above, and only they had enough financial strength to spend in this kind of coffee shop. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably feel very distressed to spend money here. After all, a cup of coffee here might cost many people a week¡¯s worth of meals. ¡°Tsk-tsk! The person we¡¯re going to meet is indeed a big shot in the gaming industry. I hadn¡¯t even been to this coffee shop before. I heard that people will spend a lot of money inside!¡± Angelica stood at the entrance of the coffee shop and looked at the luxuriously decorated door in front of her. She sighed with emotion. Su Ping said with a smile. ¡°Haha! It¡¯s just because you¡¯re maintaining a frugal lifestyle. Speaking of which, your live stream room will usually attract millions of viewers. You should be able to make a lot of money in a year, right?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t even dare to enter this coffee shop, huh?¡± Angelica said indifferently, ¡°Huh, anyway, the coffee here won¡¯t be as good as the one I grind at home. Why would I come here and spend so much money in vain?¡± With that, Angelica walked into the coffee shop ahead. Meanwhile, Su Ping shook his head helplessly. Of course, Su Ping liked Angelica¡¯s frugal style. After all, although both of them had made a lot of money¡­ However, if they started to squander money as soon as they had it, they would spend it all sooner or later. The environment in the coffee shop met its standard of being a high-end coffee shop. They didn¡¯t hear any unconventional music when they entered, and everyone who appeared there was well-dressed and polite. The staff of the coffee shop greeted the two of them as soon as they entered. Since they had come here to meet someone, the staff had already reserved a private room. After Su Ping told the staff his name, the staff only needed to do a simple check to get all the information about him. Then, the staff said politely and respectfully, ¡°Please, follow me.¡± Soon, the staff pushed the door open and gestured for them to enter. Su Ping and Angelica walked in and saw a group of people already seated in the room. There were six people in the room. One of them looked very familiar to Su Ping. It wasn¡¯t that Su Ping had seen the guy before. It was just that the guy¡¯s eyes made it seem as if the two of them knew each other. The staff closed the door and left after bringing Angelica and Su Ping in. Su Ping went to his seat and sat down. Angelica naturally sat next to him, looking a little awkward. Su Ping, on the other hand, was very relaxed. After all, he knew that he was the most important person in the room. In fact, everyone in front of Su Ping had to flatter him and act according to his preferences. Su Ping knew that if he left with dissatisfaction today, everyone in front of him will be severely punished when they return to their companies! Of course, Su Ping didn¡¯t need to worry about anything. He was the most relaxed person on the scene. The person who had made eye contact with Su Ping and whom Su Ping found familiar was the first to speak. ¡°Haha! I¡¯ve finally met Mr. Su in person. It isn¡¯t easy to form today¡¯s meeting. Mr. Su is famous in the gaming industry for being elusive. Nobody can find you in person, no matter what!¡± The man had a warm smile on his face when he spoke. His style of flattery gave Su Ping a familiar feeling, which gave him a rough idea of the man¡¯s identity. Afterward, the man began to introduce himself. ¡°I¡¯m Steam¡¯s marketing manager. You can call me Smith. That¡¯s right. I have the same name as Agent Smith in your game, The Matrix.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nice to meet you, Mr. Su. Since we¡¯ve worked together many times before, I believe you should still have some impressions of me.¡± Su Ping immediately understood the situation. As Su Ping expected, the man was Steam¡¯s marketing manager. Back then, whenever Su Ping was about to release a new game, he would contact the man to make arrangements for him or to promote the game on Steam in advance. After all, it was the era of popularity. No matter how excellent something was, in order to increase its influence, it had to be popularized. Only then could more people know about one¡¯s game. At that time, one would be able to achieve better results when their games were officially released. Even Su Ping¡¯s games couldn¡¯t skip the rule. After all, there are so many people in the world. No matter how popular Su Ping¡¯s game was, there must be some people who didn¡¯t hear of it. Su Ping showed a faint smile after listening to the man¡¯s words. He then said, ¡°Haha! It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you. Steam also plays a major role in improving the sales of my game!¡± Mr. Smith was stunned by Su Ping¡¯s words. After all, Su Ping had gained a high status in the gaming industry. No one could gain the upper hand in front of Su Ping. Anyone who saw Su Ping would have to lower their stance or even flatter him. Some people were jealous of the heated conversation between Smith and Su Ping. They were all eager to talk to Su Ping. In the end, Su Ping¡¯s eyes fell on another man. Su Ping could guess which company he worked for by judging the man¡¯s clothes and the symbol on his clothes. It was obvious because the man wore a uniform with a logo made up of several simple lines. The logo belonged to the Storm Gaming Company! After enjoying a glorious era for more than 20 years, Storm Gaming Company was now on the decline due to its arrogance and wrong decisions in the past. It could be said that the number of users for many of Storm Gaming Company¡¯s popular products in the past had significantly decreased around the world. Even in some special countries and regions, these products had completely lost the soil to survive. It led to the current Storm Gaming Company urgently looking for a new market to continue to maintain its seemingly ¡°beautiful¡± financial reports. However, for Su Ping, who knew a thing or two about Storm Gaming Company, he was optimistic about its revival plan. It was because Storm Gaming Company was still acting arrogantly. Chapter 214 - 214 We Fully Support You 214 We Fully Support You ¡°Hello, Mr. Su. I¡¯m the Director of Storm Gaming Company¡¯s Product Development Department. You can call me Paul. I¡¯m glad to meet you here.¡± ¡°Although Storm Gaming Company hasn¡¯t cooperated with you for the time being, we¡¯ve always been hoping to cooperate with you.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve always been very optimistic about Mr. Su¡¯s games. If Mr. Su has a new game project in the future and wants to find a partner, I believe that Storm Gaming Company will be your best choice!¡± As soon as Mr. Paul, the Director of Storm Gaming Company¡¯s Product Development Department, finished his words, Mr. Smith, who had been talking to Su Ping just now, retorted. ¡°Paul, you can¡¯t say that. What do you mean by Storm Gaming Company is Mr. Su¡¯s best choice?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you look at what Storm Gaming Company has become? Aren¡¯t you just scamming Mr. Su by doing this?¡± Another man at the table chimed in. ¡°That¡¯s right, Paul. You can just briefly introduce yourself. I felt that what you said just now was too fake.¡± Everyone suddenly boycotted Paul. His face was red and he wanted to say something, but he knew the current situation of Storm Gaming Company. In the end, Paul had no choice but to shut up. Still, Su Ping gave him a kind smile. Afterward, the other people at the dining table also began to introduce themselves. They explained which company they were working for and what their positions were in the company. After everyone had been introduced, it was finally time for the most important part of today¡¯s meeting! Angelica had been sitting at the side without saying a word, looking very bored. Now that the main part of the meeting was finally about to begin, Angelica sat up straight and listened carefully to everyone¡¯s speech. As the person who was most familiar with Su Ping, Mr. Smith naturally had the priority to speak. He was the first to talk and was the host of the meeting. Smith looked at everyone, smiled, and said. ¡°I believe everyone knows what we are going to do here today. Hence, I won¡¯t beat around the bush. Let¡¯s get straight to the point!¡± Everyone agreed with Smith¡¯s words because they had already contacted Su Ping and told him what they were going to do. Smith continued. ¡°I believe everyone here has to admit that Mr. Su Ping¡¯s influence in the gaming industry is terrifying.¡± ¡°We can say that before Mr. Su Ping released his games, the development of the gaming industry around the world was in a slow and backward stage. Our industry was at the bottom among all the industries.¡± ¡°However, Mr. Su¡¯s appearance changed everything. He made people realize that games can become a second world beyond reality.¡± ¡°At the beginning, we only see Mr. Su as a potential business partner, but now I want to say that Mr. Su might be a very good opportunity for us.¡± ¡°He will be an opportunity for our entire gaming industry to develop!¡± ¡°We¡¯ve already talked about the details when we contacted each other. Now, let¡¯s go straight to the voting part.¡± ¡°Everyone, do you agree to let Mr. Su be the representative of the entire gaming industry and lead the development of immersive experience games around the world?¡± ¡°At that time, we¡¯ll help Mr. Su set up a gaming company, and all of us will have shares in his game development company.¡± ¡°Moreover, all of Mr. Su¡¯s games will be released on every one of our platforms at the same time!¡± ¡°In this way, no matter which country the players are from, no matter what genre of game they like, they will know about Mr. Su¡¯s new game.¡± ¡°By then, Mr. Su¡¯s game will have a greater influence around the world!¡± ¡°Whenever Mr. Su needs our help during his game production, we must unconditionally provide him with all the help within our ability.¡± ¡°However, Mr. Su doesn¡¯t need to pay any price for it.¡± ¡°How is it? Everyone, do you agree to it?¡± ¡°Now, Steam has prepared all the documents internally. If everyone agrees, Mr. Su¡¯s game company will be established immediately.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve also formed the most professional public relations department to help Mr. Su promote his games. The voting will now begin. If anyone wants to withdraw, you can do so.¡± As soon as Mr. Smith finished his words, Mr. Paul, who was sitting next to him, raised his right hand to show his support for Su Ping. When Su Ping saw the scene, he naturally nodded at Paul with a smile. It gave Paul the same sense of joy as receiving the Emperor¡¯s favor. Afterward, the remaining few people also raised their right hands one after another, and almost no one gave an opposing opinion. After all, everyone had witnessed Su Ping¡¯s achievements. One could say that they had reached a consensus long ago that they would be able to gain benefits if they followed Su Ping. Therefore, although Mr. Smith proposed many harsh conditions for cooperation, everyone still agreed without any hesitation. In less than a minute, everyone agreed. Su Ping felt a little excited and accomplished as he looked at the people who raised their hands. After all, it meant that everyone recognized Su Ping¡¯s hard work. Even if all of Su Ping¡¯s games were created by the system, he was the only one who could bring them into this world. If one had to say it, those games could be considered Su Ping¡¯s original creations. Seeing everyone raise their hands, Smith gently nodded and said. ¡°Great. It seems that everyone has made their own choices before coming. When the meeting is over, I will inform the company¡¯s higher-ups of the result of this vote.¡± ¡°Everyone, you also inform your companies of this news as soon as possible. Our public relations team is expected to promote the matter by this evening.¡± ¡°Everyone in the world will know about this news by tomorrow. They will know about the decision that everyone in the gaming industry has made!¡± Afterward, Smith looked at Su Ping. Smith said very respectfully. ¡°Mr. Su, do you still have any opinions?¡± Chapter 215 - 215 The Leader of the Gaming Industry 215 The Leader of the Gaming Industry Su Ping would naturally have no objections. To the game development companies, the cooperation conditions were no different from a slave contract. If there was a difference, it might be that Su Ping couldn¡¯t fully control his company. However, with these conditions, it didn¡¯t make a difference whether or not these game development companies had control of Su Ping¡¯s company. As long as Su Ping needed it, those companies would use their most precious resources to help him. They didn¡¯t need any reason, whether advertising or creating a new game. Besides, Su Ping didn¡¯t have to pay any price for it. It was basically zero cost for him. Looking at the crowd, Su Ping smiled and said, ¡°Everyone, thank you very much for your support. I don¡¯t have any objections now. You¡¯ve already considered everything very well.¡± ¡°Right, if there¡¯s anything else, it might be the person beside me.¡± Su Ping suddenly changed the topic to Angelica, which surprised her as well. Angelica even pointed at herself, looking at Su Ping with a puzzled expression. Su Ping said with a smile. ¡°Didn¡¯t I bring you here today because I promised to let you get to know the people in the gaming industry? Now that everyone is here, you can say whatever you want.¡± ¡°If you need everyone¡¯s help with your gaming live stream, you can also make any reasonable request. How about it?¡± After hearing Su Ping¡¯s words, Angelica looked at everyone present. One could say that everyone was looking at her respectfully. At this moment, Angelica finally realized how important Su Ping was in the gaming industry. Angelica believed that no one in Su Ping¡¯s position could have such a terrifying influence. Since everyone was so supportive of Su Ping, Angelica had no more concerns. She said after some thought. ¡°I don¡¯t need any help from you, but if your company has a new game to release, I hope I can get more complete game data earlier.¡± ¡°Or you can give me some advice about future games. Although Su Ping¡¯s games are excellent, I think everyone¡¯s games are great too.¡± ¡°I hope I can make various content in my live stream. I wonder if everyone can fulfill my small wish?¡± As soon as Angelica finished speaking, the people present immediately understood what she meant. Obviously, Angelica felt that there was nothing else she could do other than live streaming Su Ping¡¯s games. Besides, Su Ping wasn¡¯t the only one who could create good games in this world. Therefore, Angelica hoped to use the opportunity to expand her network. It could be said that the condition that Angelica had just proposed wasn¡¯t a big deal to everyone present. It could even be said that Angelica was helping them. After all, Angelica was now the internet¡¯s most popular live streamer. Any game that Angelica streamed would instantly become popular. Angelica didn¡¯t even need to say anything during her live stream. As long as she quietly played the game, people who saw the game would spontaneously search for information about it. Now, Angelica¡¯s live stream had formed a brand effect. Everyone agreed that as long as she was willing to play a game, it would definitely be a good game! At the very least, it wouldn¡¯t be too bad. Therefore, it wasn¡¯t Angelica¡¯s luck that a game could be live-streamed in her live stream room, but the honor of the game! Therefore, as soon as Angelica put forward her condition, it immediately gained the support and approval of everyone present. Mr. Smith was naturally the first to speak. Mr. Smith seemed to be very excited as he smiled and said, ¡°There¡¯s no problem at all, Miss Angelica. You¡¯re an Angel. I promise you that Steam will give you all the rights in the future.¡± ¡°No matter what you want to know about our future games, please feel free to ask us. We¡¯ll give you a satisfactory answer!¡± Since Mr. Smith was leading the charge, the others were naturally not willing to fall behind. They were afraid that Angelica would misunderstand their attitude if they were too late. Paul was the second to speak. ¡°Miss Angelica, don¡¯t worry. Although Storm Gaming Company isn¡¯t as influential as before, we have always been innovative.¡± ¡°Miss Angelica, if we can get your help and cooperate with you, Storm Gaming Company and your live stream will definitely be able to develop better and better!¡± ¡°Haha! Miss Angelica, I did expect you to give such a wonderful suggestion!¡± The others¡¯ basically had the same attitudes, and everyone agreed with Angelica¡¯s words. Soon, Angelica had become familiar with everyone in the room. They were all chatting fervently that Su Ping couldn¡¯t even get a word in. He could only sit on the side and enjoy the coffee. It wasn¡¯t until 3:30 p.m. that everyone finally left the coffee shop. The people from the game development companies had to go back to their companies and report on the meeting. As for Su Ping, he had to go home as soon as possible to finish the production of The Matrix III. After all, Su Ping had promised Angelica that he would hand over The Matrix III to her as soon as possible so that she could live stream it. Besides, Su Ping only had three days. Even with the system¡¯s help, the time and difficulty of the game production had been greatly reduced¡­ However, the game provided by the system was only the fundamental data. Su Ping had to use his skills to make some changes and improve the data. Su Ping would also remove some of the things that weren¡¯t suitable for the game. After he had done all the work, the game could be considered complete. The process would take a long time. Naturally, Su Ping had to finish his work as soon as possible. He couldn¡¯t stand Angelica up since he was a man. Su Ping started his work as soon as he got home. As evening finally arrived¡­ A piece of shocking news was released through the internet platforms and social accounts of the world¡¯s largest gaming companies. Through the news, Su Ping became popular around the world again. Chapter 216 - 216 Su Pings Gift 216 Su Ping¡¯s Gift Steam, together with Storm Gaming Company and many other well-known game development companies around the world, had made Su Ping the leader of the entire gaming industry. The shock that the incident brought to people was no less than Storm Gaming Company suddenly producing another globally popular product. Of course, the latter might not appear easily in this era. But even so, when people first learned of the matter, they all thought that they had seen it wrong or that their eyes were playing tricks on them. However, when people opened the official accounts of the major game development companies and read the posts seriously, they finally accepted the fact. [Fuck! What¡¯s going on?! I just didn¡¯t pay attention to the news for a few hours. How did Su Ping suddenly become the leader of the global gaming industry?] [By the way, how did Su Ping do it? After all, the major game development companies are in fierce competition with each other. Su Ping basically made them all sit down and agree to the same thing!] [Unbelievable! I think this is going to be one of the biggest events of the year. It can be considered one of the most influential events of the year!] [Finally, there¡¯s an absolute leader in the gaming industry! Although Su Ping looks more like a symbol now, I believe that Su Ping¡¯s influence will grow greater and greater in the future! He might even have the authority to influence the game development companies!] [Haha! Su Ping did it. He almost unified the entire global gaming market on his own. What a miracle!] [So, when will The Matrix III be officially released? Su Ping, I understand your dream of leading the global gaming industry to improve, but please finish your game first!] [Hurry up! Hurry up! Can The Matrix III be released earlier? I even dreamed of the following plot last night!] The next morning, when Su Ping logged into his account to check the latest updates on the announcement, he received millions of private messages. Countless people were sending messages to Su Ping. Most of them were congratulating him on becoming a leading figure in the gaming industry. Some people hoped that Su Ping wouldn¡¯t be too full of himself and would continue to come up with better games. The rest of the people urged Su Ping to finish The Matrix III as soon as possible, or they would turn from his fans to his haters. It wasn¡¯t just people sending countless private messages to Su Ping. When he opened the announcement posts of Steam, Storm Gaming Company, and other game development companies, he found that each post was terrifyingly popular. It was especially true for Steam and Storm Gaming Company, which were the most influential companies in the industry. Their posts had exceeded millions of comments and received almost tens of millions of likes. It even reached hundreds of thousands of reposts. It could be said that such a situation had never happened before in the entire gaming industry. Su Ping had brought about a grand occasion for the game industry all by himself. Many players and Su Ping¡¯s fans were leaving comments to congratulate him on such a historic moment. Naturally, Su Ping was happy to see the scene. It meant that most players wanted the gaming industry to develop healthily. Moreover, they weren¡¯t just ordinary players. They had also become a booster that helped the gaming industry develop rapidly. With more people¡¯s attention, there would be more funds and capital to invest in the gaming market. As long as the people in the gaming industry could make money, the games would naturally be able to innovate and develop better products. Su Ping couldn¡¯t calm down until noon. He thought to himself. ¡°I have to finish The Matrix III as soon as possible. I need to take advantage of the popularity this time and let The Matrix series become popular around the world!¡± Su Ping could already imagine how popular The Matrix III would be when it was first streamed in Angelica¡¯s live stream room in a few days. Perhaps even the headquarters of the live-streaming platform would need to add a server to serve Angelica¡¯s live-streaming room! ¡­ Two days had passed. During that time, Su Ping stayed home and never left his house. Other than eating, drinking, going to the toilet, and sleeping, Su Ping only did one thing. Su Ping continuously optimized the game, making the plot more reasonable and the details more perfect. All of this was to provide the players with the best game. On the third afternoon after Su Ping made his promise to Angelica, he finally finished all the work he had to do to create the game. Su Ping took a comfortable shower in the bathroom, changed into a set of clean clothes, and carefully shaved off the stubble that had grown over the past few days. He then sat back in front of his computer desk. Su Ping opened the live-streaming platform and was surprised to find that Angelica was live streaming at the same time. Meanwhile, Angelica¡¯s live stream room had achieved hundreds of thousands of concurrent viewers. Of course, it was normal to have such a large number of concurrent viewers in her live stream room. Moreover, the number of viewers is now relatively low. Under normal circumstances, when Angelica started live streaming, the total number of viewers should have increased to more than millions. The final number of viewers would depend on what game Angelica would live stream that day. Su Ping was watching Angelica¡¯s live stream. She had her makeup done, looking cute and quiet. At this moment, he smiled and decided to give her a surprise. Su Ping clicked on the button to send a gift. A gift worth hundreds of yuan was sent. The gift also showed a huge and gorgeous special effect on the interface of the live stream room, which instantly attracted everyone¡¯s attention¡ªnot just Angelica, but every live stream room viewer. [Damn, someone is sending a super firework? This is a gift that costs a few hundred yuan! What kind of rich boss is he?] [Angelica just started live streaming, and someone¡¯s already giving her a gift? I admit that I¡¯m a little jealous!] [Damn it! You are giving the host a gift when she doesn¡¯t do anything?! Do you know you will spoil her?!] [Eh? Why does this person¡¯s ID look so familiar? Oh my goodness, that id is Su Ping¡¯s!] [Fuck! It¡¯s Su Ping¡¯s account! Why did he come to Angelica¡¯s live stream room to give her a gift? What¡¯s he doing? Is he giving a token of love?] Chapter 217 - 217 Breaking News 217 Breaking News Looking at the prompt that Su Ping had given her a gift on the interface, Angelica was completely dumbfounded. She had no idea what was going on. Therefore, Angelica tried to calm down the restless live stream room viewers. Afterward, she picked up her phone and started sending messages to Su Ping. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why are you suddenly giving me a gift?¡± ¡°You can chill down if you have something to say. You¡¯re making me very nervous, alright?¡± Angelica¡¯s little face slightly blushed when she sent the message. After all, she was a live streamer and could see the topic that the live stream room viewers were ridiculing her in the comments. However, Angelica had completely forgotten that it was three days later. She also forgot what Su Ping had promised her. Su Ping smiled when he saw the message on his phone. He didn¡¯t reply to Angelica¡¯s message through social media. Instead, Su Ping directly texted in the chat box of the live stream room, because this way, everyone in the live stream room could see his words. Su Ping wanted everyone to know the situation! ¡°Did you forget that I promised you that I would let you play The Matrix III beforehand within three days?¡± ¡°Now, three days had passed. If you don¡¯t want it, you¡¯ll have to wait until the game is officially released in the future to try it out.¡± Su Ping¡¯s short messages were like a bomb that exploded in the live stream room. It made the countless live stream room viewers feel as if their heads were buzzing. No one had expected that Su Ping would give them such a grand gift as soon as Angelica started her live stream. [What?! Am I seeing this right? Su Ping is saying that Angelica is going to live stream The Matrix III today?!] [Oh my goodness! You¡¯re telling me that The Matrix III is already done?! Angelica previously told us that the game still needed some time to be produced. How did Su Ping finish the game production so quickly?] [Su Ping, you¡¯re awesome! I knew that you were the best game producer in the world! Haha! I was right about him!] [The Matrix III?! Surprisingly, it¡¯s The Matrix III! Host, hurry up and agree to Su Ping¡¯s request! Hurry up and ask him to send you the installation package for The Matrix III! We want to see you clearing this game tonight!] [That¡¯s right, host! What are you waiting for? if Su Ping suddenly changes his mind, we¡¯ll all unsubscribe you.] [Host, wake up!] Seeing that Angelica was so shocked that she couldn¡¯t say anything for a long time, many live stream room viewers were anxious to death. After all, they had been looking forward to The Matrix III for a long time. Now that the game was finally done, Angelica didn¡¯t say anything. Finally, under the urging of countless viewers and the bombardment of gifts, Angelica came back to her senses. Angelica looked at the two messages that Su Ping had just sent her with mixed feelings. Afterward, she nodded and said. ¡°Everyone, please calm down. I¡¯ll talk to Su Ping about this first. I¡¯ll immediately start to play The Matrix III once Su Ping sends me the installation package.¡± ¡°Everyone, remember not to leave!¡± With that, Angelica continued to message Su Ping. Her words were filled with joy and sweetness. Su Ping was also very generous. He used the internet to send Angelica¡¯s computer the installation file for The Matrix III that he had earlier prepared. The icon for The Matrix III finally appeared on Angelica¡¯s desktop after 30 minutes, much to the anticipation of the many viewers in the live stream room. Seeing the icon that was very similar to the previous two games, everyone in the live stream room couldn¡¯t help but hold their breath in excitement. Everyone was so focused that they had even forgotten that they could breathe. At this moment, Angelica¡¯s live stream room had achieved more than seven million concurrent viewers, and it was soaring towards the 10 million mark! A few days ago, Su Ping had become the leader in the global gaming industry. Hence, many people had heard of him. Besides, Su Ping¡¯s popularity was booming around the world. At the same time, The Matrix II had just been released, which made tens of millions of players his fans. Moreover, many of Su Ping¡¯s regular fans have been recommending his previous games to others, such as the Zombie Apocalypse series, or independent games such as World War Z. As a result, Su Ping¡¯s fan base skyrocketed again in just a few days. The increase in the number of fans was finally reflected in Angelica¡¯s live stream room. She even felt that her live stream room would break the 10 million mark today. They were 10 million living people! It was not fake popularity shown in Angelica¡¯s live stream room, but the number of concurrent viewers watching her live stream! Some countries didn¡¯t even have such a large population. However, there were so many people gathered in Angelica¡¯s live stream room. Just thinking about it made Angelica feel extremely excited, and even her body began to tremble slightly. After all, as a live streamer, who wouldn¡¯t want their live stream to become more and more popular and gain more likes and attention? Now, Angelica was personally experiencing a series of legendary incidents¡ª Tens of millions of concurrent viewers! It was certain that no one had ever done it before, and there was a high probability that nobody could achieve it again! Angelica took a deep breath to calm herself down. She looked at the camera in the live stream room seriously. She then spoke calmly. ¡°Alright, everyone. I¡¯ve officially installed The Matrix III. I believe everyone can¡¯t wait for it, including me.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s start the game now and see how the Savior will save the last human city, Zion, which is on the verge of destruction!¡± At the end of The Matrix II, Angelica, who was the Savior, missed the opportunity to save Zion since she chose to rescue her lover. Since Angelica could successfully clear The Matrix II, it was very likely the right choice to connect to The Matrix III. After all, the war between humans and machines would end if Angelica decided to give up on her lover to save the city. The following plot would be to rebuild the human world and civilization. If that was the case, there was nothing to be surprised about and nothing else to play. Therefore, the only plot in The Matrix III would be starting another war between humans and machines. In the end, the Savior would successfully save the world! Chapter 218 - 218 The Matrix III Is Here 218 The Matrix III Is Here Angelica quickly put on all her equipment and entered the game. As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt the scenery in front of her was familiar. After all, Angelica had just officially played The Matrix II a few days ago, so she was still familiar with the scenes and plots of The Matrix II. She could even remember them clearly. After thinking for a moment, Angelica immediately reacted and said in surprise. ¡°Eh? It seems to be the place where I killed those Sentinels at the end of The Matrix II! It seems like the plot of The Matrix III starts with The Matrix II¡¯s ending!¡± ¡°Aah! There¡¯s a spaceship flying over from the distance. It should be here to save us!¡± As Angelica spoke, she saw a ball of light quickly approaching her position. Following that, Angelica and the rest boarded the spaceship. As expected, the spaceship received Morpheus¡¯ distress signal and came to rescue them. However, the spaceship arrived too late. Under normal circumstances, they would only be able to collect the corpses of Morpheus and the others now. However, the Sentinels had all been killed long ago, and everyone returned safely because of Angelica¡¯s existence. However, even though they were saved, the people on the spaceship brought bad news to Angelica and Morpheus. ¡°The drilling machine is currently using a huge machine to quickly dig towards the location of Zion. If we can¡¯t stop them, I¡¯m afraid that this machine will completely drill through the crust above the city and bring the machines into the city!¡± ¡°Moreover, the trickiest problem now is that the five spaceships that have been guarding and defending us on the periphery have all been inexplicably destroyed by the Sentinels. There¡¯s only one survivor left!¡± Upon hearing it, Angelica couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Who is the survivor?¡± The person who spoke looked at Angelica and said indifferently, ¡°Bane.¡± Angelica didn¡¯t have much of an impression of the name, but she still remembered it. After all, at least a dozen people on the five spaceships had all died, but he had survived. Could there be something unknown that had happened? However, Angelica didn¡¯t think too much about it. She believed that maybe he was just lucky. After boarding the spaceship, Angelica used the equipment on the spaceship to enter the Matrix. After going through the incidents in The Matrix II, Angelica had a new understanding of the Oracle. Angelica knew that the Oracle had a complex identity. It was very likely that she could get more useful information from the Oracle to help her clear The Matrix III. Therefore, the first thing that Angelica wanted to do when she entered the game was to meet the Oracle. Angelica soon found the Oracle after she entered the Matrix. However, she was surprised to find that the Oracle had a slight difference in her appearance from before. The situation made Angelica puzzled. She had no idea what had happened to the Oracle. ¡°What happened to you?¡± After hearing Angelica¡¯s question, the Oracle smiled and said. ¡°Child, don¡¯t worry about me. It¡¯s only because I¡¯ve provided you with some special help before that I have to pay the corresponding price for it.¡± The special help, of course, referred to the fact that the Oracle had given Angelica hints outside of the rules, which made Angelica slightly different from the previous Savior. As a result, Savior didn¡¯t choose to restart the Matrix after entering the core. Instead, Angelica chose to save her lover. The price the Oracle had to pay was naturally to change her appearance to avoid the pursuit of the law enforcement program in the Matrix. Angelica pondered over the answer, then nodded gently. Afterward, Angelica asked, ¡°Now, the machines controlled by the Matrix are about to dig through Zion. What should I do to end the war?¡± ¡°Where should I go to end the war as soon as possible? It¡¯s best not to sacrifice too many humans.¡± The Oracle didn¡¯t give any clear instructions on the issue. Instead, she said vaguely, ¡°You might be able to find the answer to this question in the origin of the machine world.¡± The origin of the machine world? What was that? Angelica had a lot of doubts in her mind, but at this time, Morpheus, who had come with Angelica to find the Oracle, suddenly picked up the call from the spaceship. Afterward, Morpheus immediately told Angelica, ¡°The observer has discovered a special agent program heading in our direction. We have to leave as soon as possible.¡± After listening to it, Angelica could only give up. After all, Angelica knew that Agent Smith had undergone some mutation. Even if she were the Savior, it would be very difficult for her to deal with him. Therefore, Angelica quickly left the Matrix with Morpheus. After returning to the real world, Angelica pondered for a while and finally understood where the machine city was. It should be referring to the area that Angelica saw when she just woke up, the city made entirely of machines. Could it be that the key to ending the war was in that steel jungle? Angelica then began to look for the others in the spaceship and finally met them in the conference room. Meanwhile, everyone was holding a combat meeting. They discussed how to fly the spaceship back to Zion as soon as possible. At this moment, their team had two spaceships, and they could intercept the Sentinels outside the city and participate in the war. However, at this moment, Angelica interrupted everyone¡¯s conversation and said very seriously. ¡°I think that if we go head to head with the machines, the humans will definitely lose.¡± ¡°I have another plan. I want to fly a spaceship to the machine city alone. I think I can find a way to end the war there.¡± ¡°In this way, we can end the war before it completely breaks out and the city is completely destroyed, thus saving all the survivors in the city.¡± ¡°However, I¡¯ll need a spaceship to realize my plan. I hope everyone can agree to it!¡± After listening to Angelica¡¯s words, the few captains present all frowned slightly and seemed to be in a dilemma. After all, the war was imminent, and every spaceship was a valuable combat force for the city. If one of them was handed over to Angelica, and she failed, then the spaceship would be given for nothing! Chapter 219 - 219 Smith in the Real World 219 Smith in the Real World After Angelica¡¯s persuasion, one of the captains was finally willing to let her pilot his spaceship, and he took his crew and the others back to the city in another spaceship. Angelica was naturally happy to get everyone¡¯s approval. After all, she wouldn¡¯t be able to reach the machine city without a spaceship. Just as Angelica was about to pack her things and set off, Trinity came over and offered to go with her. Of course, Angelica knew how dangerous the trip to the machine city was. It could be said that she would lose her life there anytime if she were careless. Although it was just a game world, Angelica had always maintained an extraordinary record of clearing all games in one go. Hence, she certainly didn¡¯t want to break her record if it was possible. Even though Angelica wanted to reject Trinity¡¯s request, she was moved by her sincerity in the end and agreed to go with her. ¡°Everyone, my performance in the machine city will decide whether I can end the war and complete the series of games. Do you think I can clear The Matrix III in one go?¡± The flight of the spaceship took some time. Before arriving at the machine city, Angelica had nothing to do for the time being, so she shifted some of her attention to look at the comments. After listening to Angelica¡¯s words, the live stream room viewers quickly began to chat. [Since I really want to see the host fail, honestly speaking, the host still has a high chance of clearing the game on the first try.] [I seriously suspect that the host just wants to show off to us that she can clear the game on the first try every time by saying this. Hence, I don¡¯t want to answer her question.] [Angelica has learned all of Su Ping¡¯s bad habits. I¡¯ve always believed that only thick-skinned people like Su Ping would say such things!] [Host, please stop secretly showing off! If you continue to act in such a way, we¡¯ll unsubscribe you!] Angelica could only smile helplessly when she saw her viewers couldn¡¯t take her jokes. At this moment, the game sent her a notification, indicating that there was a problem! After receiving the notification, Angelica quickly turned her attention back to the game and then rushed to fix the spaceship¡¯s problem according to its location. When Angelica arrived at the cabin where the malfunction had occurred, she was surprised to see two people in front of her. One of them was Trinity, who had set off with her in the spaceship, and the other was someone Angelica was not familiar with, but had heard of. ¡°You are Bane? The only survivor?¡± The man nodded with a proud smile and pressed the knife against Trinity¡¯s neck even harder. Afterward, Bane¡¯s following words made Angelica understand the man¡¯s true identity and why he would take Trinity hostage and betray everyone. ¡°Hello, Mr. Anderson!¡± Upon hearing the iconic words, Angelica instantly understood that the person in front of her was no longer Bane, but Agent Smith from the Matrix! Meanwhile, countless live stream room viewers were extremely shocked to see the scene. They all thought, ¡°How can the Matrix¡¯s agent come to the real world?¡± ¡°Moreover, this guy can even control a human¡¯s body?¡± [What¡¯s going on? Isn¡¯t it Agent Smith¡¯s catchphrase? Could he be Agent Smith?] [However, isn¡¯t Agent Smith a program in the Matrix? How did he control this guy¡¯s body?] [I was wondering why Agent Smith didn¡¯t show up at the end of The Matrix II. It turns out that this guy has been thinking of ways to enter the real world and backdoor!] [If Angelica doesn¡¯t exist, I feel like Agent Smith will be the strongest person in this game, right? It seems like he has the power to rule the world!] [Don¡¯t you feel that you¡¯re saying useless things? If it wasn¡¯t for the Savior¡¯s code that Angelica gave Smith, he would have always been an ordinary agent. It¡¯s a closed loop, and there¡¯s no way to explain it.] [What should we do now? This guy is holding Trinity hostage!] In the game, Angelica also knew the situation was urgent. Although she was holding a weapon in her hand, Trinity had been kidnapped by Agent Smith. Under the threat of Agent Smith, Angelica could only put down the weapon in her hand. Agent Smith picked up the weapon on the ground and pointed it at Angelica. If the weapon hit Angelica, she might have to restart the game. [It seems like Angelica won¡¯t be able to clear the game in one go this time. What a pity.] [It doesn¡¯t matter. When Angelica restarts the game, she can find the mole and get rid of him before the spaceship sets off. Then, this problem won¡¯t happen!] [Sigh, is the record that has been maintained for so long going to be broken today?] Seeing that the muzzle had already begun to charge, many viewers were pessimistic about Angelica¡¯s situation. They believed that Angelica¡¯s record was about to be broken. However, at this moment, Trinity, who was behind Agent Smith, had already untied the rope on her hand and turned off the electric switch in the cabin before Agent Smith fired. As a result, the entire spaceship was plunged into darkness. Taking advantage of the fact that Agent Smith had temporarily lost his vision, Angelica immediately launched an attack and rushed directly at him. The two were engaged in a fierce battle. In the real world, Angelica and Agent Smith were just ordinary people with mortal bodies, so the battle process was extremely intense. During the battle, Angelica accidentally revealed her weakness, and Agent Smith directly jabbed a wire into her eye. Although the game system had weakened the intense pain, Angelica was in such great pain that it almost made the system kick her out of the game. After all, the nerves in the eyes were very dense, and Agent Smith had plugged the wire directly into Angelica¡¯s eyes. Fortunately, Angelica had exploded with a terrifying force in a moment of desperation and pushed Agent Smith away. However, at the same time, Agent Smith saw that Angelica¡¯s eyes had been poked blind and became less anxious. He began to circle Angelica, looking for a chance to kill her in one shot. At this moment, the situation was extremely critical. Chapter 220 - 220 The Side Quest 220 The Side Quest Although Angelica had been blinded, she was still the Savior of the Matrix and had high authority in the system. Even if Agent Smith came to the real world, he was still using his codes in the Matrix to possess the humans in the real world. Therefore, Angelica could see Agent Smith and knew his exact location. Angelica was aware that Agent Smith was deliberately luring her into making a mistake so that he could kill her in one blow. At this moment, Angelica suddenly thought, ¡°Why can¡¯t I just beat him at his own game?¡± Afterward, Angelica pretended not to see anything and began to grope around in the dark cabin. She walked unsteadily as if she was drunk! Agent Smith didn¡¯t know about it, and he was still deliberately making some noise to lure Angelica to come to him. Finally, Angelica saw Agent Smith standing in front of her with a steel bar in his hand. Suddenly, Agent Smith waved the steel bar in his hand and hit Angelica¡¯s head. If Angelica couldn¡¯t dodge, she would probably have to restart the game on the spot. However, Angelica was already prepared for the situation and naturally wouldn¡¯t make such a rookie mistake. The moment the stick swung towards her, she immediately lowered her body and dodged the attack. Angelica took advantage of the opportunity, snatched the steel bar from Agent Smith, and hit his head hard. In Angelica¡¯s field of vision, Agent Smith¡¯s head had been knocked off by the steel bar, so Smith naturally couldn¡¯t use his code to control Bane. After all, Smith had to rely on a living human body to move around in the real world, but Angelica had killed Bane. After finally solving the crisis with Agent Smith, Angelica quickly found Trinity and confirmed that she was fine. She was finally relieved. The crisis had just ended, and just as Angelica was about to continue flying the spaceship to the machine city, she suddenly saw a window pop up on her user interface. After seeing the words displayed on it, Angelica was instantly overjoyed. The pop-up window asked Angelica whether she wanted to start the side quest to protect Zion! Many live stream room viewers were stunned by the scene. There had never been a side quest in any of the games that Su Ping had made before. All the games that Su Ping created were self-explored and presented from the same perspective. Unlike now, where Angelica could control her game character¡¯s body and participate in another battle at the same time. [Damn, when did Su Ping add more content to the game? Is such content going to become the norm in new games?] [Haha! Su Ping knows exactly what we want. The main task is not satisfying enough. Now, there¡¯s a side quest. This is awesome!] [Host, what are you hesitating for? Since a side quest popped up, it means that the game plot¡¯s progress supports the players completing the side quest first. Maybe the game will end after you arrive at the machine city. Hurry up and click the confirm button!] [That¡¯s right, Angelica! Hurry up and take us to see what¡¯s going on in Zion. This time, we might be able to experience the mecha while fighting against the Sentinels!] [Speaking of which, would a girl like Angelica like things like mechas? After all, mechas are said to be a man¡¯s romance.] [Angelica¡¯s gaming skills are better than most boys. I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything to worry about!] [That¡¯s right!] Angelica paused the game and looked at the comments. She found that most of the people watching the live stream supported her in starting the side quest as soon as possible. It could be seen that the live stream room viewers were unwilling to miss any plot in the game. Therefore, Angelica had no psychological burden. After all, she didn¡¯t have to worry that the viewers might be dissatisfied because of her actions. Without any hesitation, Angelica clicked on the confirm button on the window, and her field of vision instantly turned dark, which meant that the game was downloading a new map. Ever since Angelica entered Zion in The Matrix II, the underground city made entirely of steel had left a deep impression on her heart. Or rather, every player had different feelings about the city that represented the hope of humankind. When Angelica was able to open her eyes again, she was surprised to find that she was no longer controlling Neo¡¯s body but an ordinary soldier driving a mech in the city. At this time, Angelica¡¯s body was in the mech¡¯s cockpit, and even her hands were holding the mech¡¯s control stick. Seeing the scene, countless exclamation marks appeared in the live stream room¡¯s comment section. Obviously, the viewers were also surprised by the refreshing feeling of going straight to the point. [It¡¯s indeed Su Ping¡¯s style to not have so many random things. He immediately brings us to experience the mecha. Haha! He indeed knows us well!] [If it were some unscrupulous game producer, I¡¯m afraid they would first create a plot for the players to deliberately stir up some emotions, and make it last for half an hour before letting the players experience the mech.] [That¡¯s right! They will force us to watch the mech first. However, Su Ping directly lets us operate the mecha!] [It¡¯s so cool to use a mecha to fight! This is completely the scene of my dream!] [When will The Matrix III be officially released? I feel like my whole body is starting to itch. If I can¡¯t play this game soon, I¡¯m worried that my mentality will be affected!] [Su Ping, did you hear what we just said? Hurry up and release The Matrix III as soon as possible! Doesn¡¯t your conscience hurt when you¡¯re not releasing a game that you¡¯ve finished producing?] The live stream room viewers were all expressing their desire for the release of The Matrix III in the comment section. The players couldn¡¯t resist the temptation of operating the mecha. Not to mention that this world had quite advanced virtual reality technology, and the players in the game world were like experiencing the mech for themselves. It was enough to make countless players realize their dream of owning a mecha. Chapter 221 - 221 The Citys Defense Battle 221 The City¡¯s Defense Battle Before Angelica could familiarize herself with the operating system of the mech she was piloting, she suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the sky above the city. Looking up, Angelica saw a shocking scene. A huge crack suddenly appeared on the ceiling of the city! Afterward, an extremely huge drill bit fell from the top while spinning rapidly. Angelica had already learned about the machines during the meeting with the spaceship captains. She also knew that the machines were digging a path through Zion. Now, it seemed that the huge drill that appeared on the ceiling was a machine specially made for digging tunnels. [Damn! Zion should be buried at least a few kilometers underground, but this drill machine can directly dig through the surface?! Isn¡¯t it too fast?!] [I thought it would take the machines at least 10 days to half a month to arrive. How did they arrive so quickly today?] [To be honest, this drill machine looks quite domineering.] At this moment, the live stream room viewers naturally noticed the existence of the drill machine. They were all amazed while watching the scene. Meanwhile, the viewers began to look forward to the following battle between humanity and machines. After all, the humans also had a large number of mecha warriors, and it seemed that they still had the strength to fight. [Although the battle hasn¡¯t started yet, I¡¯m absurdly excited now!] [Haha! It¡¯s the real war between humanity and machines. It must be the most exciting of the three The Matrix games!] [Players who bought the first two games of The Matrix must be crying now. They will buy only The Matrix III if they know this will happen. Haha!] Angelica was focused on the drill machine on the ceiling, and she didn¡¯t have much energy to pay attention to the comments in the live stream room. Finally, the entire tunnel that the drill machine had dug out was on full display for all to see. Soon, countless Sentinels swarmed out of the huge passage like a large, dark cloud, giving people a strong sense of oppression. The moment the Sentinels appeared, all the mechas in the city, who had already formed a tight formation, aimed their weapons at the passage above and pulled the trigger. The side quest didn¡¯t give Angelica any hints before it started, and it didn¡¯t guide the players on what to do. However, there was no need for any hints in such a side quest scenario. Angelica immediately controlled the mech to raise the machine gun, aim it at the swarming Sentinels, and pull the trigger to fire wildly. Angelica felt excited when she felt the vibration from the cockpit. Although Angelica was a girl, she felt that she was having a forthright experience, as if she had become a warrior who fought bravely on the battlefield. The live stream room viewers found the spectacular scene enjoyable. However, some viewers questioned. [Didn¡¯t the people in this world already master the technology of electromagnetic pulse bombs? Why didn¡¯t they just use the electromagnetic pulse bombs to destroy these machines?] [That¡¯s right, I have the same doubts. Why do players have to use such primitive means as machine guns to kill these Sentinels?] Angelica didn¡¯t even need to respond to their questions. Many live stream room viewers, especially those who had watched The Matrix I and The Matrix II, spontaneously explained the situation to them. It was because Neo, the character Angelica controlled, had been to the city before in the previous The Matrix games. He had even visited the core of the city with a member of Zion¡¯s defenses. It was where all the machines existed. The entire city was underground, but it was still operating self-sufficiently. It relied on huge machines that had been built hundreds of years ago to provide energy. [Obviously, the person who asked such a question is new to Angelica¡¯s live stream room. Regular viewers wouldn¡¯t ask such a question!] [That¡¯s right! They may not be aware that machines keep the city in good condition. If they use electromagnetic pulse bombs in their city, they will destroy the Sentinels and themselves at the same time.] [There¡¯s no sunlight underground. Without machines to provide energy for food production and water purification, it¡¯s no different from waiting for death.] [That¡¯s why you can¡¯t use electromagnetic pulse bombs in your city. Do you understand now?] Meanwhile, Angelica didn¡¯t have the time to pay attention to what the comments were saying. She only felt that her fingers were going numb. In the beginning, the battle was enjoyable, like the thrill of killing a lot of enemies at the same time. However, as time went on, the cruelty of the battle gradually increased, and the players naturally couldn¡¯t enjoy the game as much as they had at the beginning. Of course, having a high level of difficulty in the game itself was also a form of fun. Since the players couldn¡¯t use electromagnetic pulse bombs in their cities, they could only use mechas. These mechas were also driven by the most basic mechanical transmission system. It was the only way to reduce the number of electronic devices in the mech. Otherwise, the Sentinels would carry the electromagnetic pulse bomb into the city. One bomb was enough to paralyze all the soldiers in the city. Humans could only pilot their mechas and engage in urban combat with the Sentinels. The battle began to become unusually brutal. Somebody lost their life while operating a mecha almost every second. The cruel scene made Angelica and every live stream room viewer feel their souls had been baptized. [Sigh, although it¡¯s just a game, I still want to say that war is too cruel. The peace we have now is not easy to come by!] [That¡¯s right! It¡¯s so good to live in a peaceful era. With the current technology, if a global war suddenly breaks out, I can¡¯t imagine what kind of terrifying scene it will become.] [I hope the war between humanity and machines that appears in the game won¡¯t become a reality!] Chapter 222 - 222 Successfully Repelling the Enemy 222 Successfully Repelling the Enemy Just as Angelica was fighting the Sentinels that had rushed into the city, she suddenly received a message from the command center. After seeing the message, Angelica was stunned for a moment. It was because the content of the message was related to the spaceship that Morpheus was piloting. It turned out that Morpheus and the rest had not yet flown the spaceship back to the city, but were about to arrive. It was only because the Sentinels had occupied the normal paths to the city that Morpheus and the others could only enter through the maintenance tunnel. However, the Sentinels had been besieging the spaceship. Seeing that the spaceship was about to enter the city to support the battle, Morpheus simply had the Sentinels lock the door of the maintenance tunnel. In this way, nobody could open the maintenance tunnel. If Morpheus tried to force his way in with his spaceship, he would crash into the door and explode. At that time, no one on the ship could survive. It was why the command center had ordered Angelica and some people near the maintenance tunnel to hurry to the dock to provide support. They had to kill all the Sentinels that locked the door and open it for Morpheus to drive in smoothly. After receiving the notice, Angelica didn¡¯t hesitate and quickly rushed to the dock. Soon, Angelica saw the scene inside the dock. The Sentinels had nearly taken over the entire area, and all of the mechas engaged in combat there had been obliterated. Furthermore, Angelica could see at a glance that the dock¡¯s gate had been sealed off. The Sentinels had countless tentacles, which were perfect to lock the gate firmly. Angelica immediately rushed forward and began to attack the Sentinels. Furthermore, more reinforcements were on their way here. Everyone was fighting together to force back the surrounding Sentinels and destroy all the machines at the gate. Finally, the door was blasted open by a civilian soldier¡¯s laser weapon, revealing a not-so-wide passage. However, the width of the passage exceeded the size of the spaceship. Therefore, Angelica and the others had achieved their goal. At this moment, they heard the sounds of countless explosions coming from the outside of the narrow passage. Afterward, a spaceship with electromagnetic light on its body crashed into the door. The moment the spaceship entered, an electromagnetic pulse bomb was activated. After all, the dock had completely fallen. Since it was located at the edge of the city, the electromagnetic pulse bomb wouldn¡¯t affect the core area of the city. When the electromagnetic pulse bomb exploded, the countless Sentinels that had rushed in with the spaceship were instantly destroyed. They fell from the sky like countless metal waste. It helped Zion finally welcome a short period of peace, giving the human army some time to rest! Angelica finally heaved a sigh of relief. Although the battle was exhilarating, players would easily get tired if it lasted too long. As the city¡¯s resistance came to an end, the commander-in-chief of Zion¡¯s defenses started to assemble troops to fix the city¡¯s electrical system and seal the gates that the machines had damaged. Meanwhile, Angelica could choose to continue her activities in the city, or end the side quest and return to complete the main mission. After all, according to the current timeline, Angelica should be on her way to the machine city. What was going to happen in the machine factory was the real highlight! However, since the previous battle was too intense, Angelica¡¯s energy and physical strength had been greatly consumed. Therefore, Angelica wasn¡¯t in a hurry to return to the main storyline. Instead, she continued to pilot the mech in the city to repair the circuits and seal the gates. She treated the game as a farming game. Angelica could also take the opportunity to take a good look at the last city of humankind and relax. Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers could also discuss the battle that had just happened and express all their thoughts. [Phew! The battle is finally over. However, those machines will definitely not let Angelica and the others go so easily. I wonder if the city will be preserved till the end.] [The side quest is produced well. Who would expect a side quest would be made like a real sci-fi blockbuster? It¡¯s so exciting!] [That¡¯s right! I think that the previous battle between humanity and machines can be made into the game¡¯s extension package and sold separately. However, Su Ping makes it the game¡¯s side quest. He¡¯s indeed a kind game producer!] [Won¡¯t Su Ping make a loss by developing such games? Although he has made a lot of money, I¡¯m worried that he might stop making games because he lacks money!] [Sigh, I hope Su Ping will either increase the price of the game or put these well-made side quests into the expansion pack. Don¡¯t let us play the side quests for free again.] [Haha! The Matrix is probably the only game that the players worry that the game producers didn¡¯t earn enough money, right?] [It¡¯s Su Ping¡¯s fault for creating games of such high quality and affordability!] Angelica nodded in agreement when she saw the comments. ¡°I¡¯m sure Su Ping is watching my live stream right now. So, if you have any opinions, please express them in the comment section. Maybe Su Ping will see it.¡± ¡°However, it¡¯s unlikely that Su Ping will raise the price. After all, everyone should know that Su Ping doesn¡¯t like money that much. He made games just for letting more people like his games!¡± ¡°So, you don¡¯t have to worry about it. I¡¯m sure Su Ping has plans. On behalf of Su Ping, I thank you for your concern!¡± Angelica¡¯s words caused a lot of booing from the viewers. After all, her words seemed like she was trying to tie herself to Su Ping. [Haha! Angelica, what do you mean? Are you two already a couple?] [You say you¡¯re thinking of us, but in reality, you¡¯re just using the opportunity to show off your relationship!] [You adulterous couple! Hand over your lives!] Chapter 223 - 223 The Real Sky 223 The Real Sky After a while, Angelica finally regained her energy and adjusted herself to her best condition. After all, Angelica was going to start the mission and battle in the machine city. Since the side quest was exciting, Angelica couldn¡¯t imagine what would happen when she arrived at the machine city. Therefore, Angelica felt she had to prepare well before continuing the game. Finally, Angelica resumed the game. Meanwhile, the game showed its caring side again. When Angelica started the side quest, she had just set off for the machine city in her spaceship. Nobody expected that while she was doing the side quest, the progress in the main mission continued. In other words, by the time Angelica returned to the main mission, she had already arrived at the machine city, which saved her a lot of boring waiting time. ¡°Wow! We¡¯re already at the machine city! I thought I¡¯ll have to wait on the spaceship for a while. Su ping has done a great job in inscribing the details of the game.¡± Angelica naturally noticed it and said in surprise. However, Angelica¡¯s happiness couldn¡¯t last for long. It was because the alarm system in the spaceship suddenly flashed red lights. Afterward, Angelica learned that her spaceship had been discovered and locked down by the defense system of the machine city. Meanwhile, Angelica used the spaceship¡¯s telescope to observe the outside situation. She could see countless ferocious cannons peeking out on the wall of the machine city in the distance. The muzzles of the cannons began to be surrounded by a large amount of electricity. Afterward, countless bombs were launched and they flew toward the spaceship where Angelica and Trinity were. Since there were too many bombs, it was impossible to destroy so many attack bombs with the weapons on the spaceship alone. However, as the Savior in the game, Angelica¡¯s strength had already reached the peak of the game¡¯s series. Angelica could influence the machines that were connected to the Matrix without entering the Matrix. Even if she was in the real world. Therefore, Angelica wasn¡¯t panicked at all. Instead, she stood up straight and used her mind to sense the bombs that were coming at her. Afterward, Angelica extended her right hand and aimed at the bomb. Countless bombs exploded in the air, and the sky was almost filled with the flames of the explosions. The spectacular scene was comparable to the previous battle in the city. [No wonder these machines can rule the world. It¡¯s terrifying! Just this explosion of bombs alone should be enough to destroy an entire city, right?] [It¡¯s expected to be the machine city¡ªthe home of all machines. The city is indeed heavily fortified. Can Angelica fly in successfully?] [What a cool superpower! Players won¡¯t be stressed when dealing with these machines of the Matrix!] However, just as Angelica and the viewers were optimistically looking forward to the battle, an accident suddenly happened. When the spaceship flew into the thick fog caused by the explosion, Angelica realized the things that had been flying at the spaceship were not just bombs. There was also a huge number of Sentinels, which were hidden in the group of bombs, making it impossible for Angelica to identify all of them. Therefore, the Sentinels took the opportunity to get close to Angelica¡¯s spaceship and attack. It was obvious that after some battles with Angelica, the machines in machine city had learned how to deal with her. Even though Angelica was already trying her best to destroy the machines surrounding the spaceship, there were too many of them. Even if some were destroyed, the remaining machines could still attack the spaceship. The spaceship could no longer fly once the electromagnetic engine outside it was destroyed. Hence, Angelica had no choice but to control the spaceship to fly higher in the sky. After all, the Sentinels could only fly to a certain height. As long as they flew high enough, they would lose their power and fall. Sure enough, when Angelica continued to rise, and the spaceship was about to approach the dark clouds above them, the Sentinels finally lost their power and disconnected from the command from the machine city. The Sentinels fell from the sky like countless dust particles, hitting the ground like raindrops. Angelica, on the other hand, used the acceleration of her spaceship to cut right through the thick layer of dark clouds. However, nobody had expected the following scene. The environment in The Matrix series¡¯ real world has always given people a depressing vibe. In the past, humans directly used meteorological weapons to cover the entire world¡¯s sky with dark clouds to destroy the machines. It was a result of the machines¡¯ solar energy-powered operation at the time. The good times didn¡¯t last long, though, as the machines quickly developed the ability to produce electricity using human bio-electricity. From that point onward, the Matrix was finally born. In addition, humans transformed into wholly machine-raised creatures. The dark clouds had covered the sky for centuries. The earth was forever shrouded in darkness. Therefore, players could only see the Matrix¡¯s virtual sky while playing The Matrix. The real world was always dark. But now, what appeared in front of Angelica was a clear sky and bright sunshine. There were even colorful clouds in the distance. It was the real sky! The humans living in this world had never seen such a sky before. In their impression, the sky was just covered with dark clouds. [It¡¯s beautiful! It turns out that this world hasn¡¯t completely turned black. Everything above the dark clouds is the same as its golden age.] [That¡¯s right! It¡¯s so beautiful. I didn¡¯t expect to see such a beautiful sky in The Matrix.] [There¡¯s also the sun! I¡¯ve never felt that the sun was so beautiful. I just want time to go faster so that I can enjoy the sun tomorrow morning.] [It¡¯s true that people know how to treasure something after they once lost it. Although it¡¯s just a game, I still feel my spirit has been baptized. Since we are living a wonderful life, why are we still dissatisfied?] The beautiful and peaceful scene above the dark clouds shocked every live stream room viewer, and they couldn¡¯t help but praise the beauty of their real life. Chapter 224 - 224 Trinitys Death 224 Trinity¡¯s Death However, good things didn¡¯t last long. The spaceship that Angelica was piloting also had a certain altitude. Although the maximum altitude of Angelica¡¯s spaceship was higher than the Sentinels, it was still far from being able to pass through the clouds. Therefore, the moment Angelica¡¯s spaceship passed through the dark clouds, it lost all power. The spacecraft appeared to be traveling in a parabola¡ªAfter reaching the peak, it ran out of energy and quickly started to descend. The colorful clouds and bright sunlight only appeared for a few seconds. As the spaceship passed through the dark clouds and returned to the bottom, it brought Angelica and Trinity back to reality. However, as a native of this world, Trinity¡¯s trip wasn¡¯t in vain since she had seen the real sky and the bright sunshine. At the very least, the rest of the people in this world would only be able to see the virtual sky created by the Matrix for their entire lives. The spaceship had lost all power and was falling toward the city. The spaceship was broken. Therefore, even if Angelica was the Savior, she couldn¡¯t do anything. Angelica could only sit in her seat with Trinity and fasten her seat belts, praying that they would be able to survive the crash. Finally, the spaceship crashed into the interior of the machine city, and Angelica only felt a wave of dizziness. Fortunately, she wasn¡¯t injured, and she quickly regained consciousness. However, when Angelica turned to look for Trinity, she fell silent. Even though Angelica¡¯s eyes had been blinded by Agent Smith, she could still sense everything around her through her mind. It was why Angelica could see that Trinity¡¯s body had been pierced by several steel bars. No one could have survived such a serious injury. Furthermore, they weren¡¯t in the Matrix. At most, Angelica could only interfere with the operation of the machine with her thought. She couldn¡¯t save other people¡¯s lives as she did in the Matrix. Angelica was silent. She knelt beside Trinity quietly, and the atmosphere was depressed. Meanwhile, the live stream room viewers stopped sending comments. After all, Trinity was a crucial character in the game. Trinity was also Neo¡¯s girlfriend, and many viewers developed deep feelings for her. Therefore, everyone was sad to see the scene. However, the game was still going on, and Angelica still had to carry the dreams of all the dead people and continue to complete her mission to end the war. Angelica took one last look at Trinity, who was lying on the ground. Finally, she stood up and got ready to leave. After all, the city was currently a war, and Angelica was the only hope for the people to survive. Angelica entered the machine city, but she wasn¡¯t attacked by any of the machines. It was all within her expectations. The reason why Angelica was so confident was that Smith, an uncontrollable program, was still in the Matrix. According to the machine city¡¯s logic, Angelica should have been like the previous Saviors of the world, entering the door on the right and restarting the entire Matrix. After all, Agent Smith was a program that belonged to the Matrix. As long as the Matrix could be restarted, Agent Smith would be destroyed. However, Angelica was different from the previous Saviors of the world. She made an irrational but emotional choice that caused the Matrix couldn¡¯t be restarted. As Agent Smith was completely out of control, he was becoming more and more lawless in the Matrix. Agent Smith could even use his ability to assimilate other programs and even enter the real world through these programs. If things continued and Angelica didn¡¯t interfere, it was very likely that Smith would rule over the machine city and the human world in the future, becoming the true ruler of this planet. Therefore, the current situation was very dangerous for the ruler of the machine city. It could even be said that machine city needed Angelica¡¯s help! It was also the reason why Angelica dared to come to the machine city and seek negotiations. The ruler of the machine city soon appeared. Countless densely packed machines formed the shape of a human face, which looked almost the same as the Matrix¡¯s creator that Angelica had seen in the core of the Matrix. It was obvious that the face was the Matrix¡¯s creator. Soon, Angelica began to negotiate with the other party, and after some persuasion, she finally succeeded in convincing the other party. The ruler of the machine city also gave Angelica a condition to stop the war between machines and humanity. ¡°As long as you can enter the Matrix and eliminate Smith, the war will immediately stop.¡± ¡°However, if you fail, the Matrix and the human world will be destroyed!¡± Upon hearing the words of the ruler of the city, Angelica knew she had a heavy responsibility, so she became very serious. Then, the ruler of the machine city used countless cables to form a metal chair, which completely covered Angelica¡¯s body. Since Angelica was in the machine city, she could naturally use the seat to enter the Matrix directly. The countless live stream room viewers were looking forward to Angelica and Smith¡¯s showdown. No one would have expected the final boss of The Matrix to be Agent Smith. After all, when they first entered the game, everyone thought the final war would be against the machines. However, nobody expected that even the machines were facing a crisis of destruction. The biggest threat to this world now comes from a program that was once under the control of the Matrix. The plot twist made many live stream room viewers exclaim in satisfaction. [Haha! It¡¯s ridiculous. Who would expect that the biggest threat to this world would come from Agent Smith?] [Speaking of which, if Angelica entered the door on the right back then, would that have counted as ending all the plots of this game early?] [When will the battle officially begin? Smith and Angelica both have superpowers. I feel like it¡¯s going to be difficult to determine the winner of the battle!] [Finally, it¡¯s time for the showdown. I hope Angelica can kill Smith!] [It¡¯s simple for Angelica to do it since she is powerful!] Chapter 225 - 225 The Final Battle 225 The Final Battle Angelica finally entered the Matrix. Although she had just entered, she could sense that the Matrix had a great difference compared to its previous self. The most obvious thing was that the atmosphere in this world was depressing. However, everything was normal in the previous Matrix. At least, the people living here wouldn¡¯t notice the abnormal phenomena. They would think that they were living in a normal world. But now, the Matrix was pouring, and the sky was as dark as the real world. Nobody could see anything in the sky. All of this seemed to be hinting that there was a huge problem with the matter. It was only after entering the Matrix that Angelica knew what the Matrix had become. Moreover, the crisis here was far more serious than Angelica had imagined. Smith had already completely assimilated all the programs in the Matrix! In other words, the actual ruler of the Matrix was Agent Smith! When Angelica saw Smith, there were thousands¡ªperhaps even tens of thousands¡ªof Smith¡¯s clones standing on both sides of the street. After the two of them met, they both understood what the other party¡¯s real purpose was, so they started fighting without saying a word! Both parties could use their superpowers in the Matrix because they had seen through the nature of the Matrix. Even the heavy rain in the Matrix was caused by Smith. The two of them engaged in a great battle. Just the collision of their fists was like a bomb exploding, destroying the entire urban area. The two of them fought from the ground to the sky, and then from the sky back to the ground. Nobody knew how many buildings they had destroyed during the fight. However, since there were no other people in this world, the two of them didn¡¯t have to care how the ordinary people would feel during their battle. It was clearly a battle between ¡°immortals.¡± It was the first time Angelica felt things were difficult for her to deal with Smith. Smith, on the other hand, was equally astounded by the increase in Angelica¡¯s strength. In the end, the two of them crashed into the ground at the same time, creating a huge pit in the ground. Even the water pipe next to them was smashed into two halves. There was water flowing out of the pipe continuously, forming a shallow pool in the pit. Smith and Angelica got up from the ground at the same time, but this time, they didn¡¯t continue to attack. Both of them knew that if they continued to fight, neither of them would be able to destroy the other. It was because according to the settings, in the Matrix, Angelica and Smith¡¯s identities were opposing each other. Angelica would be in charge of restarting the Matrix. At that time, Smith would be destroyed, and Angelica would lead the humans to build a new city. However, all of this was broken by Angelica¡¯s choice, which led to the current situation. However, Smith and Angelica had a lot in common in terms of coding, so they were like disciples of the same master, which made them unable to break each other¡¯s moves. Naturally, it was impossible to determine the winner. Looking at the scene, many players watching the live stream room didn¡¯t expect the situation to turn out in such a way. After all, if Angelica and Smith continued to fight, no one would win, so how was the game going to end? [Since when did Smith become so powerful? I feel like the game won¡¯t end even if Angelica keeps fighting like this until the end of time!] [That¡¯s right! Could it be that players need to use another way to end the game?] [I don¡¯t think so. Other than killing Smith, is there any other way to end the game?] [If the two of them continue to fight, I¡¯m worried that the entire Matrix will soon be reduced to ruins. Haha! But then again, this battle is really entertaining to watch.] From time to time, Angelica would look at the comments to see if anyone could give her some interesting ideas. But unfortunately, they didn¡¯t. At this moment, Smith was suddenly stunned. He looked at Angelica in surprise, as if he was thinking about something. Then, Smith suddenly said, ¡°I¡¯ve seen this scene before!¡± At this moment, a pop-up window suddenly appeared in Angelica¡¯s field of vision, showing the scene of the Oracle¡¯s home. Angelica saw the Oracle sitting on the chair and Agent Smith standing next to her. Back then, the Oracle said, ¡°Everything has a cause and effect.¡± At the same time, Smith, who was standing across from Angelica, said the same thing! At this moment, Angelica finally understood that Agent Smith, who was extremely powerful and was currently fighting with her, was actually the all-knowing Oracle! The live stream room viewers suddenly came to a realization. [No wonder Smith is so powerful. It turns out that he¡¯s the Oracle!] [Damn! Smith is really something. He even assimilates the Oracle!] [The poor Oracle! However, why do I have a feeling that the Oracle is still alive? Do you guys feel the same?] Many viewers agreed with the statement. After all, the Oracle was an omniscient being in everyone¡¯s eyes. Hence, it would be normal for Smith to know a lot of information that others didn¡¯t. Smith finally understood the situation. After all, his clone was transformed by the Oracle, and the Oracle had seen the scene before him. It meant that the Oracle had already predicted all of this, which meant that everything Smith had done had been within the Oracle¡¯s predictions. The Oracle even expected that she would be assimilated by Smith. Didn¡¯t it mean that Smith¡¯s previous belief that he had broken away from the Matrix¡¯s control and become a truly free being was a complete misunderstanding? From the beginning to the end, Smith was just a program in the Matrix and had never broken away from the Matrix¡¯s control! At the same time, Smith also realized that he and Neo couldn¡¯t kill each other. Even today¡¯s battle had been a well-prepared trap! After understanding the situation, Smith instantly became furious. His goal had always been to become free and rule the Matrix and the real world. Smith, however, suddenly understood that he had fallen for someone else¡¯s trick. He naturally couldn¡¯t accept it. Hence, in a fit of anger, Smith rushed in front of Angelica, preparing to assimilate her! Chapter 226 - 226 Its a Trap 226 It¡¯s a Trap Angelica didn¡¯t seem to be on guard against Smith¡¯s sudden attack, and Smith¡¯s hand went straight into her body. Then, just like everyone else, Smith started to assimilate Angelica. The liquid that was as black as ink started to spread from Angelica¡¯s abdomen to the surroundings. Ultimately, it covered her entire body. Many live stream room viewers were dumbfounded when they saw the scene. Everyone thought, ¡°Angelica had done so well before, but why would she let her guard down so easily at the last step?¡± ¡°Angelica is so careless that she even lets Smith find an opportunity to assimilate her?¡± ¡°If the assimilation is successful, will it mean that Angelica will completely fail the game?¡± After all, if Smith successfully assimilated a person, one would become Agent Smith¡¯s clone and would lose their will. [What¡¯s going on? What¡¯s Angelica doing? Isn¡¯t she aware of Smith¡¯s ability?] [It¡¯s strange¡­ I don¡¯t think Angelica would have made such an obvious mistake, no matter how relaxed she was. It doesn¡¯t fit her style!] [Could it be that Angelica has other plans? But now that her body is completely under Agent Smith¡¯s control, how is she going to turn the tables?] [I think we should wait for a while. Angelica has never made such an obvious mistake before. Maybe it¡¯s a scam!] Many live stream room viewers were puzzled by Angelica¡¯s behavior. Of course, there were still many fans who had always believed in Angelica and supported her unconditionally. After all, Angelica had performed too many miracles in the past while playing games. Hence, many people believed in her unconditionally. In the game, Angelica¡¯s field of vision had turned pitch black, and she could feel herself losing control of her body. In less than 10 seconds, if Angelica still couldn¡¯t break free from Agent Smith¡¯s restraint, she would have to restart the game. The game was about to be completed smoothly. However, if Angelica had to start all over again, she would definitely feel uncomfortable. Even if the game could be saved, Angelica¡¯s record of never losing would be completely broken, which was something she couldn¡¯t accept. However, just as some of the fans in the live stream room had expected, Angelica seemed to have exposed a huge flaw this time, allowing Agent Smith to succeed¡­ It was actually a trap! Angelica was now using the same method as how Agent Smith successfully assimilated the Oracle! After all, Agent Smith was just a program in the Matrix. Although he had a certain level of intelligence, it couldn¡¯t be compared to that of a living human. Therefore, in terms of strategy, Agent Smith had to pay a huge price. At this moment, Angelica had re-contacted the ruler of the machine city, who was also the creator of the Matrix, through the connection system on her body. They had reached a tacit understanding when they were negotiating in the machine city, and neither of them had mentioned the plan. After all, Angelica entered the Matrix through a machine-like device. Hence, it could be said that the whole Matrix was supporting her. Angelica was no longer fighting alone! As a huge and complex code was inserted into Angelica¡¯s body through the device, the string of codes quickly began to fight with Agent Smith¡¯s codes. However, Agent Smith was bound to lose this battle. It was because the series of codes were designed by the ruler of the machine city to counter Smith¡¯s code. Moreover, the series of codes was directly targeted at Smith¡¯s core code! It was as if someone had specially designed an anti-virus program for Smith, and the anti-virus program could directly erase the core part of Smith¡¯s code! The reason for such an effect to happen was that Angelica deliberately exposed a flaw to make Smith choose to assimilate her. If Agent Smith wanted to achieve his goal, he would have to input his core code into Angelica¡¯s body. Thus, the ruler of the machine city would be able to obtain Smith¡¯s important code during the process and formulate the most perfect anti-virus program! As the code began to launch a destructive attack on Smith, cracks began to appear on countless of Agent Smith¡¯s clones in the Matrix. There were countless rays of light emitting from the cracks. Finally, after a few seconds, the body of Agent Smith in front of Angelica began to crack rapidly. In the end, Agent Smith¡¯s entire body exploded, and the explosion was like a chain reaction. As the donor Agent Smith exploded, more and more Agent Smiths exploded and disintegrated. Finally, all of Smith¡¯s clones were destroyed. When Agent Smith was destroyed, the Matrix finally welcomed a restart. It would evolve all the previously accumulated flaws and usher in a brand new start. Seeing the scene, the countless live stream room viewers who had previously doubted Angelica were all stunned. No one had expected Angelica to win the battle in such a way. Angelica used her body to lure Agent Smith into a trap. She used herself to obtain his core code to win. [Damn! It turns out that Angelica was just trying to trick Agent Smith and lure him to assimilate her. I thought it was Angelica¡¯s mistake that allowed him to attack her!] [Haha! I just said that Angelica wouldn¡¯t make such an obvious mistake. She must have planned to do it. Those who doubted her just now must have felt embarrassed.] [As expected of Angelica to be able to do it! I wouldn¡¯t be able to think of such a method even if I had two more brains. It¡¯s just like a miracle!] [Agent Smith is just a program, after all. It can¡¯t be compared with the intelligence of the human brain.] [Congratulations to Angelica for successfully clearing The Matrix III in one go. This time, Angelica¡¯s record has been successfully preserved!] [By the way, has the war already ended? What¡¯s going to happen in the city? How should humans and machines get along in the future?] Chapter 227 - 227 The Future of Man and Machine 227 The Future of Man and Machine Although Angelica had successfully destroyed Agent Smith, the game wasn¡¯t over yet. It was obvious that there was still a follow-up plot. In the game, Angelica naturally understood it, so she wasn¡¯t in a hurry at all. Sure enough, everything was just as Angelica had expected. Her game character suddenly entered a plot. At this moment, Angelica could no longer control her game character. However, she felt it was a good thing since she could take a break and observe the changes in the future of humans in the game. Meanwhile, the image of Zion appeared in Angelica¡¯s field of vision. She saw that the countless Sentinels that had been crazily attacking the city suddenly stopped attacking it. The Sentinels quickly retreated from Zion and left. The humans in Zion looked at the scene with wide eyes. Their eyes were filled with disbelief. In their eyes, machines had always been a symbol of cruelty, destruction, and death. Other than the soldiers who were fighting outside in spaceships, ordinary people wouldn¡¯t have any chance of survival if they encountered the Sentinels. In the previous battle, the entire city could no longer defend itself, and the machines could break through the final line of defense at any time. However, why did the machines suddenly stop attacking at such a critical moment? Afterward, the commander-in-chief of Zion¡¯s defenses remembered what Morpheus had told him about the Savior, which was Angelica. He then showed a thoughtful expression. Following that, the commander-in-chief of Zion¡¯s defenses announced the end of the war, and everyone in the city began to cheer. It wasn¡¯t only because the city was saved, but also because they didn¡¯t have to lose their precious lives! Seeing such an exciting scene, countless live stream room viewers seemed to be affected by the people¡¯s happiness. Everyone began to discuss the game plot enthusiastically. [Wow! The war has finally ended. I don¡¯t want to see the people in the city lose their lives again!] [That¡¯s right! It¡¯s too cruel to have a war. The people here fought so hard just to survive, and now they have finally fulfilled their wishes!] [It seems that after the war is over, humans and machines may usher in a new future. After all, this time, Angelica has broken the endless cycle of the Matrix!] [That¡¯s right! If the Matrix wants to restart in the future, it won¡¯t have to destroy all of humanity to complete the matter!] When the images of the city were all over, the screen image changed, and Angelica¡¯s perspective suddenly moved back to the Matrix. The place looked like a city¡¯s garden. The city¡¯s high-rise buildings could be seen in the distance, but the place where Angelica was was a spacious lawn. It was sunny and windy here, making it impossible to relate it to the dark and gloomy scene in the real world. Then, two people who were extremely familiar to the viewers and players appeared. [Look! It¡¯s the Oracle and the Matrix¡¯s creator! Eh? Didn¡¯t Agent Smith assimilate the Prophet? Why is she back to normal?] [That¡¯s right! The Oracle should be dead after being assimilated, right? Why does she look like she¡¯s fine?] [Are you guys stupid? It¡¯s because the Matrix has restarted! Naturally, the Oracle will return to her original state!] [That¡¯s right! Or we can consider that the Matrix hasn¡¯t been completely restarted. It just eliminated all the problems caused by Smith in the past! It should be considered a purification!] Just as the countless live stream room viewers were discussing the scene they saw, the Matrix¡¯s creator and the Oracle on the lawn also began their conversation. ¡°You¡¯ve made a bold decision this time!¡± The white-haired creator looked at the Oracle sitting on the chair and said helplessly, but from his expression, he didn¡¯t seem to be dissatisfied. Or, more accurately, the Oracle and the creator both made decisions at the same time that determined everything that had occurred in the past. Hearing it, the Oracle smiled and said, ¡°Haven¡¯t we found a new solution to the revival of the Matrix?¡± The two of them then had a discussion, and the Matrix¡¯s creator also expressed his opinion. ¡°Although I can¡¯t hand over the entire Matrix to humans to control, after all, what happened before made me lose trust in humans.¡± ¡°However, I¡¯ve already promised Neo that the machines won¡¯t attack humans in the future. The city can continue to be preserved, and there won¡¯t be any more incidents where the entire city is sacrificed for the sake of restarting.¡± ¡°Moreover, we should have given humans more choices from the beginning. If someone wants to come to the real world in the future, I won¡¯t stop them from doing so.¡± ¡°As for those who still choose to spend their lives in the virtual world, I hope that humans can respect their choices.¡± ¡°In this way, everyone can achieve their own goals. This is the best result.¡± After hearing the conversation between the creator and the Oracle, many live stream room viewers agreed with their approach. After all, viewers had a general idea of the world after three consecutive introductions to the game. It was clear that everyone had their own choices. Some people wanted to see the real world clearly and come to the real world to live and struggle, while some people were unwilling to wake up. They hoped that they would be able to lead fulfilling lives in the Matrix-created virtual reality. Therefore, everyone had different choices. This time, the Oracle and Angelica¡¯s efforts gave humans the freedom to choose. It might be regarded as the most meaningful experience that any player had while playing The Matrix series. Then, the word ¡°game cleared¡± appeared in Angelica¡¯s field of vision. The Matrix III had finally ended. Angelica quickly removed all the equipment on her body, then took a deep breath and stretched her back to completely relax. ¡°Phew! I¡¯ve finally cleared The Matrix III. I wonder if there¡¯s The Matrix IV. If there is, what kind of plot will it be?¡± Angelica¡¯s words also made many of the viewers start to think. However, most viewers believed that Su Ping wouldn¡¯t create The Matrix IV. Chapter 228 - 228 The New Plan 228 The New Plan It was time for a routine summary of the game experience. Every time Angelica cleared the game, she would use the remaining time to chat with the viewers about the previous game plot. For example, Angelica would share her feelings on experiencing the game or her opinions on the game¡¯s improvement. Angelica looked at the comments as she spoke indifferently. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s still a chance for Su Ping to release The Matrix IV. For example, he might add some construction or production plots in The Matrix IV.¡± ¡°After all, players are mainly combating in The Matrix I, The Matrix II, and The Matrix III. If The Matrix IV continued the same style, players will easily get tired of it.¡± ¡°Hence, if I may suggest, I hope that there will be The Matrix IV, which will allow us players to build a brand new human world.¡± ¡°When the time comes, we¡¯ll definitely feel a sense of accomplishment while seeing the world we¡¯ve built!¡± After listening to Angelica¡¯s words, the viewers also began to discuss enthusiastically. [Angelica¡¯s words make sense. If there¡¯s really The Matrix IV, it¡¯s very likely to be similar to a business simulation game.] [Haha! I don¡¯t know why, but when I heard that The Matrix IV might be released, I became even more excited! I¡¯m even happy to play a business simulation game!] [I believe I¡¯ll gain a sense of achievement after building a city in the wasteland!] After a discussion among the viewers, they still believed that there would be The Matrix IV. However, Su Ping had planned to end The Matrix series with The Matrix III. At this moment, as Angelica¡¯s live stream playing The Matrix III officially ended, the number of concurrent viewers in her live stream room finally began to drop from the peak. However, the miracle created by Angelica¡¯s live stream tonight would never disappear. The terrifying number of concurrent viewers today would be recorded forever and become a goal for future streamers. However, such a terrifying record would probably not appear again in the future. After all, it was a terrifying thing to have tens of millions of people watching a live stream at the same time. As Angelica cleared the game, her live stream for the day was finally coming to an end. After all, she had used up a lot of energy to clear The Matrix III in one go. She was too tired to continue her live stream. Almost whenever Angelica played such a kind of new game, she would end her live stream right after she cleared the game. After all, Angelica wanted to maintain her record of clearing games in one go. Hence, she often used up more energy than other players during the process. ¡°Alright, everyone, that¡¯s all for today¡¯s live stream. I¡¯m looking forward to seeing you all again in the live stream room at the same time tomorrow.¡± ¡°If Su Ping tells me anything about the new game, I¡¯ll let you know as soon as possible.¡± Angelica then ended her live stream. Although Angelica ended her live stream, the players were still enthusiastically discussing what had happened during the live stream. For example, the plot of the game, the spectacular scenes of the city¡¯s defense, and the war that Angelica had experienced before entering the machine city. The most shocking thing was, of course, the real sky that was revealed when the spaceship flew out of the clouds! At that time, no one would have thought that they would be able to see a colorful sky in The Matrix¡¯s world that was filled with darkness. Although The Matrix III had not been officially released yet, the impact of the game was still huge. After Angelica¡¯s live stream ended, countless viewers chose to go to various forums and other platforms to discuss the game. Some were urging Su Ping to release The Matrix III as soon as possible. On the other hand, Su Ping was thinking about what new game should he create after The Matrix was over. Now that The Matrix series was over, if Su Ping wanted to come up with a new game in the future, he would have to choose a new theme to avoid repeating the same content. Su Ping thought, ¡°So, what kind of content should I do in my new game?¡± Su Ping was in a dilemma. After all, there were many excellent films in his original world. No matter what kind of movie or theme it was, Su Ping hoped that those works would appear in this world as soon as possible. Su Ping wanted the people here to experience exquisite plots. ¡°What game should I make?¡± Su Ping was thinking about it. He couldn¡¯t decide at the moment. Su Ping had many choices. For example, Su Ping¡¯s favorite classic movie series was Transformers. This series contained a lot of movies in his original world. Su Ping also liked the series about Outer Space or the movie Ready Player One, which left the deepest impression on him. Any one of these movies would be a popular classic. However, it suddenly occurred to Su Ping that he had made a lot of games about movie series. If he produced games about movie series continuously, it would consume a lot of his energy. ¡°Why don¡¯t I turn the movie Ready Player One into a game first?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take this opportunity to rest a while. When I have the chance in the future, I¡¯ll make games about the Outer Space series and the Transformers series.¡± After making the decision, Su Ping had a new job goal. After all, Su Ping had already become a leader-like character in the gaming industry of this world after some publicity. Naturally, he couldn¡¯t slack off because of his current success. Su Ping felt it was better to continue producing more refined games to repay the fans. However, it was already very late that day. Su Ping didn¡¯t stay up all night to work. He planned to start making Ready Player One the next day. Su Ping believed that the movie would be enough to shock the people in this world, even though the virtual reality technology in the movies was no longer new in this world. However, in terms of plot, Ready Player One was excellent enough. The following day, Su Ping got out of bed early and started working on Ready Player One. At the same time, things related to The Matrix III were finally put on the agenda. According to Su Ping¡¯s agreement with the game development companies, the official release of The Matrix III would take less than a week! Chapter 229 - 229 A Big Bundle Discount 229 A Big Bundle Discount Su Ping opened the social media app and entered his account. In the end, he saw countless comments from his fans. This time, everyone¡¯s comments were urging him to release The Matrix III as soon as possible. In the past, everyone would have thought that the release of the game depended on the arrangements of the game development company. But now, Su Ping had gained a great influence in the gaming industry. Naturally, he could decide when the game would be released. [When can I download The Matrix III? I can¡¯t wait anymore! Su Ping, hurry up!] [Su Ping, I¡¯m going to become your anti-fan if you don¡¯t release The Matrix III! I advise you to know what¡¯s good for you!] [If The Matrix III is not going to be released as soon as possible, I¡¯m going to unsubscribe you! Su Ping, hurry up and release the game!] [Hurry up! Hurry up!] Su Ping couldn¡¯t help but chuckle when he saw the fans¡¯ comments. He thought, ¡°These guys are so impatient.¡± However, Su Ping felt good about being looked forward to by others and being able to make his games popular and supported by everyone. Afterward, Su Ping wrote a post and clicked send. ¡°Everyone, please calm down. I¡¯ve already discussed the release date of The Matrix III with Steam¡¯s employees. In short, everyone doesn¡¯t have to worry about anything. After all, the game is already complete, so it will be released as soon as possible. Although we haven¡¯t decided on the specific release date, I can guarantee that The Matrix III will be released within a week! Moreover, I can also disclose the price of The Matrix III in advance. For the official release of The Matrix III this time, I have also discussed it with Steam¡¯s employees and decided to launch a bundle. The bundle contains the whole series of The Matrix. You can get a 40% discount on all the games in The Matrix series if you purchase the bundle. Of course, those who have already bought The Matrix I and The Matrix II, please don¡¯t worry. You won¡¯t be at a disadvantage. During the bundled promotion, if you purchase The Matrix III, you will get a big discount too. In short, we won¡¯t let anyone suffer a loss in this event. I hope that after The Matrix III is officially released, everyone can enjoy the game!¡± As soon as the post was posted, it immediately attracted thousands of likes and comments. Su Ping¡¯s influence wasn¡¯t limited to the gaming industry. He had even begun to affect the entire entertainment industry. Even many people who had never played games or simply couldn¡¯t play games because of their lack of gaming talent often chose to watch live streams or videos to understand the game plot. Therefore, although the game might have only sold tens of millions of copies, if the cloud gamers who didn¡¯t buy the game were included, the total number of people would probably exceed 100 million. At this moment, countless people kept their eyes on Su Ping¡¯s social media account to obtain his latest updates. There were players among them, but of course, there were also many self-media accounts and media professionals. They were concerned about when Su Ping would release The Matrix III and what the game would look like. It was because any piece of information was enough to make them popular and attract many people¡¯s attention. Therefore, as soon as Su Ping¡¯s post was posted, it quickly spread, letting countless people immediately know about such joyful news. [Wow! The Matrix III is going on sale so soon. Haha! I suddenly feel so happy!] [Su Ping will never let us down. I believe The Matrix III will be officially launched within the time that Su Ping has promised.] [There¡¯s even a bundle pack? Haha! I knew the game would drop in price after a while. I must purchase the bundle this time!] [Su Ping is so considerate. If it weren¡¯t for the end of his post, people like me, who bought The Matrix I and The Matrix II, would have cried in the toilet.] [I¡¯d like to give Su Ping a thumbs up. He¡¯s indeed a leading figure in the gaming industry. His way of doing things is indeed extraordinary!] [No matter what, Su Ping deserves my recognition for being willing to give a discount to his fans who have already bought the game!] [That¡¯s right! There aren¡¯t many game producers like Su Ping who is good-heartened!] [There are still seven days left. I¡¯m starting to feel itchy all over!] At this moment, many players began to discuss the situation under Su Ping¡¯s post. Although there were less than seven days left, as long as they had to wait, it would be extremely torturous for those fanatical fans. However, Su Ping couldn¡¯t do anything about it. After all, he couldn¡¯t just release the game with one word. The promotion and hype of the game, as well as the professionals at Steam who optimized it, were all very important. After all, Su Ping had made all the games on his own, even though he had a lot of experience in making games. However, it was inevitable that there would be something that Su Ping had missed out on. To give the players a better gaming experience, everything had to be done to perfection. The waiting time was extremely long. These days, when Angelica was live streaming, there were people asking questions about The Matrix III almost every day. Many cloud players had watched the live stream and understood the plot. Therefore, they set their eyes on the new game that Su Ping might release in the future. [By the way, although there might be another game in The Matrix series, we don¡¯t know when it will be released. In this case, has Su Ping planned to release any new games recently?] [That¡¯s right! Other than The Matrix III, Su Ping hasn¡¯t revealed anything about it recently. So, what has he been doing these days? How¡¯s the new game going?] [Host, can you help us ask Su Ping when he¡¯ll finish his new game? I can¡¯t wait!] [Host, host, can you call Su Ping now? I can send you gifts!] Angelica, who was in the middle of her live stream, saw the various questions in the comments and became curious too. After all, Angelica was a fan of Su Ping¡¯s games. She was also looking forward to seeing what kind of new game Su Ping would release in the future. Chapter 230 - 230 A New Challenge 230 A New Challenge Finally, as more and more people in the live stream room urged Angelica to call Su Ping, she couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. Angelica checked the time and guessed that Su Ping hadn¡¯t gone to bed yet. Therefore, Angelica tried to comfort the live stream room viewers. Afterward, Angelica picked up her phone and sent Su Ping a message on social media. ¡°Do you have time now? There¡¯s something I want to ask you, but if you¡¯re busy, that¡¯s fine.¡± After Angelica sent the message, she waited nervously and expectantly, just like a normal fan. At the same time, Su Ping, who was working on the game, felt his phone vibrate. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Angelica. He chuckled. Afterward, Su Ping replied, ¡°It should be about the new game, right? It¡¯s fine. You can go ahead if you have any questions. You should be live streaming, right?¡± Angelica answered a few of Su Ping¡¯s questions first and then went straight to the point. ¡°Everyone wants to know what you¡¯re doing right now. What¡¯s the theme of your new game, and when will you release a new game?¡± ¡°Is there a chance that you¡¯ll make The Matrix IV?¡± These questions were the most important to everyone in the gaming industry, including countless players. Only Angelica had the ability and connection to ask Su Ping about the information. After all, Su Ping and Angelica had a closer relationship. He would even ask her to help him spread many secrets. After all, Angelica was now a super popular streamer on the entire internet, and she was on a different level compared to all the other streamers. Therefore, the two of them were in a relationship where they helped each other. News about Su Ping could help Angelica gain more traffic, and Angelica¡¯s popularity could help Su Ping do a lot of things and gain a lot of attention. Of course, Su Ping was the absolute leader in this series of events. After all, even if Su Ping hadn¡¯t chosen Angelica, he could have found many other live streamers to promote his high-quality games. It was why Angelica had always felt lucky that Su Ping had asked her to advertise for him. If that incident didn¡¯t happen, Angelica might still be an ordinary streamer in the gaming community. She wasn¡¯t unpopular, but she wasn¡¯t popular either. It would be even more impossible for Angelica to reach her current level and status. Su Ping looked at the work that had been put on hold. He said it after some thought. ¡°The new game¡¯s theme will be different from the previous ones. After all, almost all of my previous games are related to doomsday elements. Everyone might be tired of games with such themes.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why this time, I¡¯m going to develop my game in a completely new direction and make it more entertaining for everyone.¡± ¡°As for the theme of this game, I think it should be virtual reality. I will use this game to convey an idea.¡± ¡°Of course, I can¡¯t tell you all these things yet. In short, when the game is officially released, it will definitely give everyone a huge surprise. Please look forward to it.¡± On the other side, Angelica had finally received Su Ping¡¯s message. She took a screenshot of the message and put it on the live stream room¡¯s screen so that every viewer could see it clearly. When everyone saw that the new game would have a new theme, they were all excited. They were looking forward to and speculating about the theme of Su Ping¡¯s new game. After all, most of the games that Su Ping had created were related to the apocalypse. Many people had the same thought. ¡°The reason why Su Ping keeps making apocalyptic-themed game series is that he doesn¡¯t have the ability or the talent to make games in other themes, right?¡± Such speculations had always been rampant within the gaming industry! Many fans denied such a claim. However, Su Ping never released other types of games. Therefore, the fans¡¯ explanations were often weak and powerless. Now, Su Ping had finally thrown out a bombshell, telling everyone that he was going to make a new type of game! It made countless people anticipate. [Oh my goodness! Su Ping is giving up on his comfort zone and making a new type of game. Can he succeed?] [Although I¡¯m looking forward to Su Ping¡¯s games having more styles and varieties, I¡¯m still worried. What if the new game fails? At that time, his reputation will be in trouble!] [I support Su Ping¡¯s decision. As a game producer, you must be brave enough to go beyond your comfort zone and challenge your limits. Su Ping, I believe that you will succeed. I look forward to your new work!] [Su Ping, I know you¡¯re watching the live stream. As your fan, I just want to tell you that you can do whatever you want. We¡¯ll always support you!] [That¡¯s right! No matter what the quality of your new game is, as long as you put in the effort, I will support you!] Angelica was moved by seeing the comments. After all, her relationship with Su Ping was special. Angelica also hoped that Su Ping could achieve success in his new field. Therefore, Angelica smiled gently and said, ¡°I¡¯m sure Su Ping will be happy to see everyone¡¯s comments.¡± ¡°On behalf of Su Ping, I would like to thank everyone for your support. I also believe that Su Ping¡¯s new game will not disappoint anyone!¡± ¡°Right, Su Ping?¡± Of course, Angelica was talking to Su Ping. Just as the viewers had predicted, Su Ping joined the live stream room as soon as he started talking to Angelica. Su Ping chuckled at the last sentence and then sent a message in the live stream room. ¡°That¡¯s for sure. All you need to do is raise your expectations for the new game. You definitely won¡¯t be dissatisfied!¡± Seeing Su Ping¡¯s confidence, many viewers and fans were excited and looking forward to it. What would Su Ping¡¯s new game look like? No one knew what kind of shock and influence the new game would bring to the entire gaming industry and even the entire world. In the future, the game would even begin to affect the development of the entire world! Chapter 231 - 231 The Official Release 231 The Official Release Finally, five days after Angelica¡¯s live stream, The Matrix III was officially released. Since Su Ping had already established cooperation with major game development companies and gaming platforms around the world, The Matrix III wouldn¡¯t only be sold on Steam. It could be said that no matter which gaming platform the players liked to use or what kind of launcher they used to log in to the game, they could see the shadow of The Matrix III on any platform! Before the release of The Matrix III, it had been hyped up for several days, and the advertisements were all on the front page of each platform. This time, the major game development companies around the world fully supported the release of The Matrix III. Of course, it was also their recognition of Su Ping¡¯s game. On the day of the official release of the game, countless players were waiting in front of their computers. The moment the game was released, they would press the purchase button and then quickly download the game. Everyone wanted to experience such an epoch-making game as soon as possible. Although The Matrix III and Zombie Apocalypse were both apocalyptic games, it could be said that the content of the two games was very different. Zombie Apocalypse was more like a horror game, but The Matrix III could induce people to have deep thoughts. Players would not only be entertained after playing the game but also gain a lot of life philosophy. [Finally, it¡¯s released! Su Ping, you¡¯ve got your conscience since you release the game three days earlier than you promised!] [Su Ping did a great job this time. I¡¯ll go to the store and give you a good review after I buy the game.] [Finally, I can play The Matrix III! I haven¡¯t been able to sleep well these days, but I can finally have a good night¡¯s sleep tonight.] [Brothers, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go! I must clear the game in one go like Angelica!] Countless players began to share their game experience on major forums and social media platforms, as well as some of their feelings after the experience. Almost all the game streamers, including those who didn¡¯t stream games, joined the crowd to experience The Matrix III. After all, The Matrix III had a large amount of traffic. As long as one played it well and brought joy to the viewers during their live stream, it was a chance for everyone to become a popular live streamer. Many of them might have just been ordinary players who were unknown before. However, it was because they had displayed their terrifying ability to clear the game that they attracted the attention of countless players. While the players around the world were in a state of revelry, Su Ping didn¡¯t stay idle. Ever since Su Ping confirmed that the game he was going to make was Ready Player One, he became extremely busy. Although the system could do most of the work and Su Ping only needed to complete and translate the code given by the system and then localize it¡­ However, Ready Player One was too special because the movie itself had a huge amount of content. If Su Ping wanted to turn the scenes in the movie into a game and show them to the players, it would be a complicated task. The amount of work required would be terrifying. Ever since Su Ping had transferred the content of the movie through the system a few days ago, he had been working on the game at home almost every day. Even though Su Ping had seen the original work of the movie Ready Player One, it was still difficult for him to complete the task. It was because there were too many hints in the game! There was also a very important part of the worldview of this world, and that was the virtual reality network of OASIS that covered the entire world! If Su Ping wanted to perfectly turn this game world into reality, he had to do more than just design a few side quests. Instead, Su Ping had to replicate almost the entire OASIS! If an ordinary programmer were to start from scratch, even if they found thousands of other programmers, it would probably take several years to complete such a workload. Even with the system, it would take Su Ping a long time to complete the entire code. Therefore, Su Ping had to make every second count. In this way, he could show the huge game world of Ready Player One to the players in this world. In the process of making Ready Player One, Su Ping suddenly had a passion and fighting spirit that he had never had before. Perhaps it was because the OASIS itself was a place that gathered the faith of countless players. In the previous world, after watching the movie, Su Ping would always fantasize that it would be great if the OASIS existed in reality. Now that there was a chance to realize it, Su Ping faced his work with the attitude of realizing his dreams. ¡­ On the other side, while Su Ping was working tirelessly to create a world for Ready Player One¡­ The official release of The Matrix III also led to a global game craze, or, better yet, people going crazy over it. Regardless of whether people had played the game or not, or whether they paid attention to the gaming industry or not, they all knew about the existence of the game because of The Matrix III. In the beginning, many people might not think much of it when they heard that it was a game. Some even still cling to their old ideas and scoffed at the game. [Tsk-tsk! Isn¡¯t it just some boring dressing games? It¡¯s still the same old way of playing games! There¡¯s nothing new at all, and the plot is extremely clich¨¦. I can¡¯t understand what¡¯s there to play in these lame games!] [That¡¯s right! I used to play games too, but not only did those games have to be bought with money, but they were all terrible. There was nothing to play with and no plot. I¡¯ll just take it that I spent all my money feeding dogs!] [Did the official producer of The Matrix III hire an internet water army? How much did those people pay the media and game companies? Why have I been seeing advertisements about it everywhere the past few days? It¡¯s so disgusting!] The Matrix III finally influenced many people who were prejudiced against games. However, due to their past unpleasant experiences, they were unwilling to understand the specific situation of The Matrix III. These people chose to slander the game! They completely revealed their contempt and prejudice towards games and didn¡¯t even try to hide it. Chapter 232 - 232 Draw a Blank 232 Draw a Blank Even if The Matrix III received harsh criticism, there might be many players who would support it if its quality was no different from that of the previous games released by millions of game development companies. However, times had changed. Su Ping¡¯s appearance was leading the entire gaming industry forward by leaps and bounds. Su Ping was changing the entire game industry. He was turning what seemed impossible into reality. He was letting more people know that games could be done well and could have a completely realistic world. People could experience a different life there and acquire superpowers thanks to games. As a result, many loyal players opposed and boycotted people who criticized The Matrix III, even though it had received a lot of criticism. Of course, most of the players were patiently explaining the game to those who cursed it. Only when they couldn¡¯t reason with the other party would they be anxious and attack each other. [The Matrix III is different from the games you¡¯ve played before. Or rather, if you see Su Ping¡¯s name on the list of game producers, don¡¯t hesitate to give it a try. It must be a high-quality game!] [That¡¯s right! Everyone, if it¡¯s any other game, you can scold them if you want to. However, as long as it¡¯s a game developed by Su Ping, there¡¯s no reason for you all to scold them brainlessly.] [Su Ping¡¯s games are top-quality games. I hope some of you can stop criticizing it because of your previous judgment. Su Ping¡¯s games have always been fun!] [I hope you can review the game after you understand the situation. I¡¯d like to make it clear that The Matrix III didn¡¯t buy any fake reviewers. It is all promoted by us because the game is really good!] In addition to a large number of passers-by who were attracted to attack The Matrix III, there were naturally countless fans explaining in the comments. After all, for those who still supported and loved games, The Matrix III, as well as Su Ping¡¯s every game, represented the future of the entire gaming industry. Everyone was worried. They thought, ¡°If Su Ping collapses, will the gaming industry return to the old days when everyone was trying to be the worst game development company and disappoint the players?¡± No matter what, no one wanted that to happen. Everyone wanted Su Ping to create more games and hoped he would have the motivation to keep on creating entertaining games. As both sides joined the debate, the people who supported Su Ping and those who were against the game gradually formed two forces in public opinion. Both sides criticized each other and presented all kinds of arguments and evidence to prove their opinions. It was challenging for many people to accept new games because they had previously been repulsed by dull games. Even though the real gamers had repeatedly claimed that The Matrix III was an excellent game, it was difficult to convince them to try it out. In such a situation, neither party succeeded in persuading the other, which led to ongoing disputes. Of course, it also led to the increasing popularity of The Matrix III. According to statistics released by some authoritative websites, the number of discussion posts about The Matrix III became one of the top 50 most popular topics in history three days after its release! It was a terrifying number because the games that could become one of the top 50 most popular topics were basically the most popular in history. The reason why these games could accumulate so much data was that many of them accumulated it over a long time before finally achieving such results. However, The Matrix III was different. It had only been released for three days, but the number of posts already surpassed many games that had been released for many years. Would the number of posts about The Matrix III be among the top ten in another 10 days or a half-month? With the popularity of The Matrix III, Angelica also greatly benefited from the wave of traffic. Her live stream room was getting close to 20 million followers at this point! It is important to note that the new followers were all actual people, not fake ones who may have long since stopped watching live streams. Angelica was both happy and in pain during her live stream these days. She was in pain because there were too many new people in the live stream room, which made her, a well-known live streamer, constantly worry when she was doing so. For example, Angelica had to consider the feelings of other new viewers, or she had to explain the memes in the live stream to them over and over again. As for Angelica¡¯s happiness, of course, it was because she was happy to see the surge in her popularity and the increase in the number of concurrent viewers in her live stream room. At the same time, Angelica had many questions about Su Ping. Four days before the release of the game, Su Ping contacted Angelica during the live stream to tell her when The Matrix III would be released and to discuss some topics about the new game. However, Su Ping seems to have vanished into thin air now. Not even Angelica could find him, let alone ordinary players! Angelica was confused and thought, ¡°What is Su Ping doing?¡± Angelica thought, ¡°The Matrix III had been released for days. Why is there no news from Su Ping?¡± Angelica had a feeling that Su Ping was doing something very important. But what was it? Why was Su Ping so engrossed in the game that he had completely neglected many things in his real life? A week after The Matrix III was officially released, Angelica couldn¡¯t hold it in any longer. It had been almost 10 days since she last contacted Su Ping. ¡°No, I can¡¯t continue to do nothing. What is he doing now? How could there be no news at all?¡± After the day¡¯s live stream ended, Angelica turned on her phone and opened her social media app. She looked at the chat history that had stopped 10 days ago and finally made up her mind. ¡°I¡¯m going to find him and see what he¡¯s doing!¡± ¡°In addition, a lot of his fans are worried about his situation. I can¡¯t let the situation continue in such a way!¡± Angelica made up her mind. Then, without any hesitation, she posted a leave notice on her live stream room. ¡°There might be something that causes me to be unable to live stream tomorrow. I hope everyone can understand me, but there¡¯s a high chance that I¡¯ll only stop live streaming for a day tomorrow. I¡¯ll be back the day after tomorrow!¡± Chapter 233 - 233 Off-Air for a Day 233 Off-Air for a Day Angelica¡¯s announcement on the live-streaming platform immediately attracted the attention of many fans, and it also caused a huge uproar in other places. After all, Angelica was now an influential live streamer. If she suddenly said that she had something to do the next day and had to pause her live stream, it was natural that she would receive the attention of countless people. Everyone was curious about what Angelica was doing and why she held certain things in such high regard. [Guys, what do you think about the reason Angelica paused her live stream this time? I don¡¯t think it makes any sense!] [Who knows? However, I believe she decides to take a day off might have something to do with Su Ping!] [Su Ping? Haven¡¯t they always had a good relationship? Could something have happened?] [Of course, there¡¯s nothing between them. However, hasn¡¯t anyone realized that Su Ping hasn¡¯t shown up for many days?] [That¡¯s right! It seems to be true. Su Ping last appeared in Angelica¡¯s live stream room ten days ago. There hasn¡¯t been any news about him for so many days. It doesn¡¯t make sense!] [Then I¡¯m pretty sure that Angelica stopped tomorrow¡¯s live stream because she¡¯s going to Su Ping! Angelica might be able to bring us some information about Su Ping. Let¡¯s see what he has been up to these days!] [Su Ping is so mysterious. I have no idea what he does every day. He always gives us a headache!] [We can finally get some information about Su Ping, right? That¡¯s great! If that¡¯s the case, I allow Angelica to pause her live stream. It doesn¡¯t matter if she pauses it for two more days. It¡¯s more important to figure out Su Ping¡¯s situation!] At this moment, many people began to discuss the matter on social media sites, and soon, almost everyone reached a consensus. Everyone believed that Angelica would go to meet Su Ping tomorrow. Under such circumstances, those who had hoped that Angelica could continue her live stream at the beginning fell silent. After all, Angelica and Su Ping were bound to each other most of the time. Su Ping had been missing for so long that many fans were concerned for him. Of course, many people would be happy to see Angelica help them gather information. The next day, before noon, Angelica had finished packing up. She didn¡¯t inform Su Ping in advance. She knew where Su Ping lived anyway, so she could just go and find him. At noon, Su Ping had just ordered some takeout. He planned to finish his lunch and then continue making the game. However, at this moment, he suddenly heard someone knock on his door. Su Ping was puzzled and thought, ¡°I don¡¯t recall making a deal with anyone. Why will someone come looking for me now?¡± ¡°Could it be the people from the game development companies?¡± With doubts in his mind, Su Ping soon arrived at the door. When he opened the door, he found that it was Angelica. Of course, Su Ping was surprised to see Angelica. ¡°Why did you suddenly come looking for me? Did something happen during your live stream? Or are there any problems with The Matrix III?¡± Angelica, who was standing at the door, knew that Su Ping must have been very unkempt these days just by looking at his slightly haggard appearance and messy hair. Angelica sighed and said, ¡°I¡¯m not here because of the game. I just want to ask you, what¡¯s going on with you recently? Why haven¡¯t I heard anything from you?¡± ¡°Do you know how worrying it is for a person to disappear for more than ten days?¡± Su Ping understood at once. It turned out that Angelica wasn¡¯t looking for him because of the game. It was because he had been working for ten days without him knowing. Su Ping took out his phone and checked the time. As he had expected, it had been ten days since he had talked to Angelica. Both of them were still standing at the door. Naturally, Su Ping made way for Angelica and said with a smile. ¡°Let¡¯s talk inside.¡± Angelica nodded and walked in after Su Ping. When Angelica entered the room, she was looking around at the situation in the room as she walked. She felt the rooms were too messy that they looked uninhabitable. Upon seeing the scene, Angelica said in a disdainful tone. ¡°By the way, don¡¯t you want to clean up your room? It¡¯s so messy!¡± Su Ping said with an embarrassed smile. ¡°Haha! I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯ve been very busy these days, so I might not have time to deal with these things for the time being.¡± ¡°You can find a place to have a seat. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time. However, since you¡¯ve seen me fine, does that mean you¡¯ve achieved your goal?¡± Angelica sat down on the sofa. She looked at Su Ping seriously and said, ¡°Can you tell me what you¡¯ve been up to recently?¡± ¡°Nobody knows what you are doing now, so everyone is anxious and concerned about your situation. Your fans are interested in what you are working on as well, not just mine.¡± ¡°Are you working on the new game that you revealed on my previous live stream?¡± Su Ping said with a smile. ¡°Haha! Of course, I¡¯m working on the new game. Why else do you think I haven¡¯t appeared for so many days?¡± However, Su Ping¡¯s words didn¡¯t work on Angelica. She was still confused and asked. ¡°Although you were busy making games in the past, you didn¡¯t disappear for so many days before. You¡¯ve never gone missing for so long in the past.¡± ¡°Moreover, you should have finished making the game long ago after you had worked so hard for so many days in the past. Now, have you finished the new game?¡± Su Ping shook his head. He suddenly gave Angelica a thoughtful look before saying seriously. ¡°I¡¯m not done yet. I¡¯ve never challenged myself to make such a difficult game before.¡± ¡°Or, more accurately, once I¡¯m done, this game will be the largest and greatest game in history!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure that this is the most enjoyable game, too!¡± Chapter 234 - 234 The Greatest Game 234 The Greatest Game All this while, Angelica thought that she knew Su Ping very well. After all, they had been working together for quite some time. In Angelica¡¯s mind, Su Ping had always been a confident and ambitious man. However, in Angelica¡¯s mind, Su Ping was also a very practical person. Whatever Su Ping wanted to do, he would definitely be able to do it. Only under such circumstances would Su Ping choose to do it. However, Su Ping almost looked like he was exaggerating the situation when he talked to Angelica. The greatest game in history? The most fun game in history? Why was Su Ping so confident in himself? Even though Angelica had always had great confidence and trusted Su Ping, she couldn¡¯t help but feel worried. Was it Su Ping¡¯s success that made him arrogant? If that¡¯s the case, it was the last thing that Angelica wanted to see. After all, the two of them were on good terms. Also, the relationship between Angelica and Su Ping was beyond that of friends. Under such circumstances, Angelica naturally hoped that Su Ping could become better and better. However, Angelica felt Su Ping acted like people¡¯s judgment. She felt he had become arrogant after making some achievements. Angelica was very worried that Su Ping would go down a bad path in the future. Her attitude might even cause Su Ping¡¯s achievements to come to a halt. If that were the case, although Angelica wouldn¡¯t attack Su Ping just like the haters did, she would feel sorry for him. Angelica thought about it for a while before she spoke tentatively. ¡°Can you tell me in advance what your greatest game in history will be like?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t trust your creativity, but I feel that your goal might be a little too bold and imaginative.¡± ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, you intend to concentrate on creating this new game, correct? Before it¡¯s completed, you won¡¯t make other games, right?¡± Su Ping nodded with a smile. He then said. ¡°Of course, since I¡¯ve already promised everyone that I¡¯ll complete the game, I won¡¯t go back on my word.¡± ¡°You can rest assured about this game. I¡¯ve already completed the general framework and main body of the game. The next step is to optimize the content.¡± ¡°I just need to make things perfect and complete the plot.¡± ¡°Actually, it isn¡¯t a difficult problem for me. It¡¯s more of a problem with the workload.¡± ¡°In other words, it¡¯s only a matter of time before I finish the game!¡± However, Angelica felt that Su Ping was just bluffing after she heard his words. She thought, ¡°Can the greatest game in history be completed with only time? Is it possible?¡± Besides, Su Ping had only spent ten days making the game. According to Su Ping¡¯s previous standards, Angelica might think that was more than enough time for Su Ping. Su Ping, however, was going to create the greatest game ever. If Angelica were to estimate the time according to this standard, it would be too short! Game producers would not only need time to complete a great game but also their inspiration and ideas. Only when all these conditions were met could one truly create a good piece of work and become the so-called greatest piece of work. Had Su Ping really become arrogant? There was no way Angelica would be willing to accept it. Therefore, Angelica began to persuade Su Ping patiently. ¡°Su Ping, I know that you have high expectations of yourself and that you want to make the best games.¡± ¡°However, what you¡¯ve achieved is already far from enough, and I believe that everyone thinks in the same way about you.¡± ¡°So, I think you don¡¯t have to be in a hurry. You can complete your usual work and think of a new one at the same time.¡± ¡°A great piece of work requires not only time and effort but also inspiration.¡± ¡°Moreover, if you want to make this game as complete as possible, you¡¯ll need to go through a lot of detailed polishing.¡± ¡°Therefore, you don¡¯t have to be so anxious. Everyone will support you.¡± ¡°I believe that with your strength, you will definitely be able to achieve your goal. So, don¡¯t be in a hurry. Take it slowly, alright?¡± ¡°Additionally, don¡¯t keep yourself in your room for so many days like before. We¡¯ll be worried about you if you go missing for a long time.¡± Of course, Su Ping could feel Angelica¡¯s concern. After hearing what she said, Su Ping immediately understood why Angelica had said those things. Su Ping said with a smile. ¡°I know you¡¯re concerned about my situation, but I think you might have misunderstood something.¡± Su Ping continued when he saw the confused look on Angelica¡¯s face. ¡°Do you think that I suddenly set such a big goal because I¡¯m a little arrogant because of my achievements?¡± ¡°You think my goal is unrealistic, right?¡± ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because I¡¯m overconfident in myself that you¡¯re so worried, right?¡± Angelica nodded without any hesitation. ¡°Yeah, so you know what I¡¯m thinking. Then why are you acting in such a way?¡± ¡°You told me that you want to create the greatest work of all, yet you think that you only need time to complete it. How do you expect me to believe you?¡± Su Ping smiled. He didn¡¯t explain anything. Instead, he grabbed Angelica¡¯s hand and led her to the bedroom. Su Ping had always been the one to go over to Angelica¡¯s house to do live streams. Moreover, it could be said that Angelica had never come over to his house. Therefore, she didn¡¯t know much about his house. Angelica didn¡¯t know that Su Ping¡¯s computer was in his bedroom. She was also unaware that he didn¡¯t have a live stream room as she did. Therefore, Angelica panicked when she saw Su Ping¡¯s actions. Angelica thought, ¡°Why is he taking me to his bedroom? Could it be that my words just now made him unhappy, so he wants to do something to me?¡± Chapter 235 - 235 Just a Drop in the Ocean 235 Just a Drop in the Ocean Angelica¡¯s little face was already blushing before she entered the bedroom. It was especially true when Su Ping was still holding Angelica¡¯s hand. Angelica felt her face getting hotter when she felt the heat from his palm. However, for some reason, Angelica had no intention of resisting at all. She thought, ¡°Is it because the man holding my hand is Su Ping?¡± Finally, Su Ping brought Angelica into the room. Angelica had even closed her eyes. All of a sudden, Angelica heard Su Ping speak in a confused tone. ¡°Are you alright? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why are you keeping your eyes closed?¡± Angelica opened her eyes and looked at Su Ping. She was confused. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Didn¡¯t you bring me to your room to¡­¡± Su Ping understood what Angelica meant before she could finish her sentence. He immediately burst into laughter. ¡°Haha! What are you thinking about? Why do you think I¡¯m that kind of person?¡± ¡°I brought you here to show you what the game I made looks like. Just now, you have no confidence in my game, right?¡± ¡°Therefore, I want to show you the game. In this way, you¡¯ll naturally know that everything I said was true!¡± ¡°You will believe that I can really make the greatest game in the world. However, it turns out that you¡¯ve misunderstood me!¡± After hearing it, Angelica¡¯s face turned red. She felt extremely embarrassed at the thought of such a shameful misunderstanding. Angelica even wanted to find a hole to hide inside now. Angelica sat on the bed in her bedroom with her hands over her face, not saying a word until Su Ping spoke again. ¡°Here, didn¡¯t you want to see what my game looks like? The game file is here, and I¡¯ve already completed a part of it. You can take a look at it in advance.¡± At last, Angelica¡¯s shyness was overcome by her curiosity about Su Ping¡¯s game. Therefore, Angelica got up and sat down in front of the computer. Su Ping had already opened the game file on the computer. Afterward, Su Ping helped Angelica put on the equipment and he took out another set of equipment to put on. Su Ping had prepared two sets of equipment at home a long time ago because he had expected such a situation. He believed that Angelica would come over one day. Soon, the two of them were connected to the game, and with a change in light and shadow, when Angelica finally felt it and opened her eyes to see the world around her, she suddenly exclaimed. ¡°Oh my goodness! Where¡­ Where are we?¡± At this moment, Angelica and Su Ping were standing on the ground. However, they weren¡¯t on the familiar earth. Instead, they were in a desolate place. When they looked up at the sky, they could clearly see that the sky wasn¡¯t blue but pitch-black. If they looked carefully, they could see many broken stones floating in the sky. Moreover, they could even see the ruins left behind by the entire planet if they looked further! In addition to the desolation, there were all kinds of deep pits everywhere. The entire earth was in a state of destruction. Looking at the scene, Angelica¡¯s eyes widened in shock. All of a sudden, Su Ping chuckled and said, ¡°This is a world that was completely shattered due to a cosmic war.¡± ¡°This planet used to be full of vitality. However, it has completely lost all signs of life now.¡± ¡°In the future, this planet will be a place for players to level up by killing monsters and earning game coins to improve their strengths.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve also divided this planet into many different leveling areas, and the strength of the monsters in different areas is different.¡± ¡°Moreover, if players go to a higher-leveled area, the monsters there might drop some high-grade equipment.¡± ¡°What do you think of this planet¡¯s battlefield dungeon?¡± Angelica nodded approvingly at Su Ping¡¯s words. ¡°It¡¯s perfect. It fits all my imagination of the Otherworld battlefield. However, with such a battlefield map, your game still can¡¯t be called the greatest game in the world!¡± ¡°I think this map is still far from the goal of being the greatest game.¡± Angelica¡¯s comment was to the point because there was no need for her to hide her true attitude toward such a thing. Besides, given their close relationship, there was no problem with telling the truth. Su Ping would definitely accept some advice from Angelica with an open mind. However, this time, Su Ping shook his head with a smile. ¡°Based on the battlefield on this planet that you¡¯re looking at now, this game certainly doesn¡¯t deserve to be called the greatest game. However, what if I were to say that this battlefield is actually just a drop in the ocean of my game?¡± ¡°What if it¡¯s only the tip of the iceberg in the entire game?¡± ¡°There will be countless game dungeons in my game for players to choose from, and each dungeon¡¯s content will never be repeated. The way of playing it will also be very different from the other dungeons.¡± ¡°In addition to combat, there are many other entertaining modes in the game. For example, you can make the player dance and complete social needs that can¡¯t be met in real life.¡± ¡°What if the players could even form guilds and armies to fight side by side against the powerful creatures in space?¡± ¡°Most importantly, there are many hints hidden in this world. Players can explore this vast world freely. Perhaps they can find powerful weapons that can turn the tide of the war.¡± ¡°I call those things divine artifacts!¡± ¡°How is it? Do you still think that my game can¡¯t be called the greatest game in the world after I complete it?¡± Angelica was completely dumbfounded by Su Ping¡¯s words. Angelica had thought that this world was the whole of the game, but she didn¡¯t expect that it was only a small part of it. If Angelica thought about it this way, the size of the entire game could be said to be very terrifying! It might not be too much to call it the greatest! Chapter 236 - 236 The First Experience in the OASIS 236 The First Experience in the OASIS After Su Ping¡¯s introduction, Angelica finally had a general understanding of the game. It could be said that in this process, Angelica gradually went from not understanding the game at the beginning, and even doubting the game, to finally becoming completely convinced. The game ¡°Ready Player One¡± that Su Ping described was the dream game of all players in the world. In the real world, humans were just bodies. It could be said that humans couldn¡¯t make many of their imaginations come true. Moreover, the human body is extremely fragile. A small accident or carelessness in life could take a person¡¯s life, or make them spend the rest of their life in a wheelchair. However, it didn¡¯t matter whether a person was disabled, no matter whether the person was healthy or unable to take care of himself due to the torture of illness. According to Su Ping¡¯s description of Ready Player One, as long as they brought an immersive experience device, they could enter the game called OASIS and gallop to their hearts¡¯ content. Here, a person who had lost the ability to move his legs could become a superhero. He could even roam the universe. Even the timid ones could pick up their weapons and kill all kinds of terrifying aliens on the Otherworld battlefield. They could also become powerful soldiers. In this game, players could even customize their race. The players didn¡¯t have to be humans here. They could become any kind of creature one could imagine. They could even dig a big hole in the middle of their stomach and put their most precious things inside. ¡°In short, I think the OASIS is a world full of infinite possibilities. You can also call it another world beyond the real world!¡± ¡°Here, every player can have their own second life, regardless of their real identity.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if they are a teacher, a worker, a CEO, or a housewife. All of them can live a completely different life in the OASIS.¡± ¡°Even if one is a very old-fashioned and traditional woman, she might have become the leader of a force in this game and ruled many planets.¡± ¡°Of course, this game doesn¡¯t completely rely on the players to explore it. I will also develop more ways to play the game, and I have already thought of a huge customized gift! As long as someone can complete all the challenges in the game¡­¡± ¡°They can obtain the status of a founding member of this game and enjoy the profits and dividends that the game brings!¡± Angelica¡¯s mouth was wide open when she heard the last few words. She looked at Su Ping in shock. Angelica thought, ¡°What?! Players can become founding members of the game and enjoy the dividends?¡± ¡°Does Su Ping mean that he would give the person who clears the game half of his rights to the game?¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, how difficult are the challenges that Su Ping has set up?¡± Angelica was confused about it. Since she was meeting Su Ping right now, she asked him directly without hiding anything. ¡°So how difficult is your challenge? If it¡¯s too simple, wouldn¡¯t it be equivalent to you giving the game¡¯s profits to others for nothing?¡± ¡°And what if more than one person completes the quest? Are you going to give the game away for free? Then wouldn¡¯t you have worked for nothing?¡± Su Ping said with a smile. ¡°Haha! You don¡¯t have to worry about this at all, because there is only one person in the world who can clear my challenge. In other words, it¡¯s a competition to see who can complete all the challenges first!¡± ¡°So, are you now full of interest in the game ¡®Ready Player One,¡¯ and eager to try it?¡± After listening to Su Ping¡¯s words and seeing his confident smile, Angelica could no longer describe what she was thinking. After a long time, Angelica finally let out a sigh of relief and spoke with great admiration. ¡°Su Ping, I have to say that you¡¯re not just a genius in gaming.¡± Su Ping asked curiously, ¡°Then what am I?¡± Angelica said faintly, ¡°You¡¯re a monster!¡± Su Ping wasn¡¯t angry or disappointed by such an evaluation. Instead, he burst into laughter. In Su Ping¡¯s eyes, being called a monster by Angelica was the highest praise in the world. Suddenly, Su Ping suggested, ¡°Since you¡¯re already here and I¡¯m almost done with the interstellar battlefield dungeon¡­ Do you want to enter the dungeon and experience what it¡¯s like?¡± ¡°At the same time, you can also help me test if there are any unreasonable aspects or bugs in the dungeon. If you do, you can tell me as soon as possible so that I can optimize it.¡± Of course, Angelica had no reason to reject such a suggestion. In fact, when she first saw the dungeon, she had already wanted to go in and experience the feeling of fighting in it. Su Ping had intricately created the scenes in this dungeon. Just by looking at the screen in the real world, Angelica could tell that it would be very exciting to fight on this broken planet. It was as if Angelica had really appeared in a world that had been completely shattered after the baptism of war. There were terrifying aliens everywhere, and she could only rely on the gun in her hand, the armor on her body, and various equipment to deal with these monsters. Angelica agreed to Su Ping¡¯s suggestion right away and entered the game. Since Su Ping was the one who developed the game, of course, he had played it before. Therefore, Su Ping didn¡¯t have much expectation or yearning for the game. He just wanted to see what kind of evaluation Angelica would give after she played the game. As a game producer who had a system with him, Su Ping¡¯s goal in making games was much higher than that of other game producers in this world. Su Ping had only one goal in his games, and that was perfection! If Su Ping didn¡¯t pursue perfection, he could have uploaded the files and data given by the system. Those games were also playable. Chapter 237 - 237 The Perfect Game 237 The Perfect Game Finally, after about half an hour, Angelica reluctantly took off her equipment and returned to the real world. Just now, Su Ping had watched the entire process of Angelica playing the game on the computer screen next to him. Su Ping was no stranger to watching Angelica play the game at such a close distance. However, Su Ping was still amazed by Angelica¡¯s speed at getting the hang of the game and her familiarity with the game¡¯s mechanics. In Su Ping¡¯s eyes, the game was like a gift from God to Angelica. It seemed that she didn¡¯t need to go through any tutorials or learn any hacks. She could quickly grasp all the important points of the game by herself. In this case, it was very easy for Angelica to quickly clear a game by herself. However, what Su Ping wanted to discuss with Angelica was her gaming experience. Naturally, he wouldn¡¯t talk about her talent. After taking off her equipment, it was obvious that Angelica still wanted to play more. She seemed to be emitting a murderous aura. Su Ping didn¡¯t dare say anything in case he provoked her. Until Angelica suddenly took a deep breath and seemed to be a lot more relaxed, and then she said happily. ¡°It¡¯s simply inconceivable. The battlefield you created made me feel like I am really a survivor of the war, constantly killing on the battlefield.¡± ¡°I dare say that even if you make this war game instance completely independent and make it a normal single-player game or an online game, you will definitely get a lot of good reviews!¡± ¡°It¡¯s because your game is too perfect. That¡¯s right. Even I, a picky gamer, can¡¯t find anything that I¡¯m not satisfied with within this game.¡± ¡°By the way, is this the result of your work in the past ten days?¡± When Su Ping heard Angelica¡¯s question, he nodded and said, ¡°Yeah. Of course, this is not the only result of my work. However, you can only play the rest after the game is released.¡± ¡°After all, all game dungeons will be available at that time. No matter what type of game the players like, they can find their favorite one in the OASIS.¡± ¡°Since I¡¯m going to create a second life for all the players in the world, I naturally have to satisfy everyone¡¯s needs so that everyone can find their happiness in it.¡± Angelica nodded in agreement after Su Ping said that. ¡°That¡¯s right! You¡¯ve made the right choice. Since you want to complete the greatest game in the history of the world, you must make sure that the game gets as many good reviews as possible.¡± ¡°To be honest, I¡¯m gradually more looking forward to seeing what the game will look like after you finish it. It must be very shocking!¡± At this moment, Angelica realized she had a problem. She asked Su Ping. ¡°By the way, many live stream room viewers have been asking me what you¡¯ve been doing recently. Now that I know, do you think I should reveal what you¡¯re doing?¡± ¡°After all, you¡¯re going to make the greatest game in the world. If we let everyone know about it in advance, they might not be so surprised.¡± ¡°Most importantly, your current status has caused dissatisfaction among many people. If you release such a signal now, many people might be against you.¡± Of course, Su Ping could understand what Angelica was saying. After all, there will always be some people in this world who feel miserable when they see others making money. They wouldn¡¯t be that miserable when they were losing money. Under such circumstances, even someone like Su Ping had to be careful about the way he spoke¡ªevery word he said and every thought he was trying to convey. For those who had been hiding in the dark, ready to attack Su Ping at any time, and then try to gain benefits from him¡­ In their eyes, whatever Su Ping said would be something they could use against him. To prevent such a situation from happening, Su Ping had to be careful when he was doing everything. Therefore, Angelica¡¯s warning was reasonable and useful to Su Ping. After listening to Angelica¡¯s words, Su Ping shook his head after some thought. ¡°Then don¡¯t tell everyone that I¡¯m making the greatest game in the world. Just say that I want to challenge my limits and make a bigger and more fun game.¡± ¡°You just have to slightly raise everyone¡¯s expectations. I believe that as long as my fans like to play my games, they will definitely understand me!¡± ¡°Even though it might slow down the release of games, true gamers are more willing to wait. Do you believe me?¡± Of course, Angelica nodded in agreement after she listened to Su Ping¡¯s words. She was the kind of fan who truly loved the games that Su Ping had mentioned. People like Angelica wouldn¡¯t think that the faster the game was made, the better it would be. It was because it would definitely lead to the problem of the game¡¯s lack of quality and might have many flaws. Therefore, under such circumstances, the game should be optimized to a certain extent so that the game¡¯s content could be more complete and perfect. Afterward, Angelica gently nodded and said, ¡°Alright, I know what I should do now. You should focus on your game in the following time. I can respond for you if anything is happening in the outside world.¡± ¡°Of course, if you have any questions during the game¡¯s production or need to ask for my opinion, you can ask at any time. Even if you need volunteers for the game testing, my live stream room will definitely be able to meet your needs!¡± Su Ping smiled in relief after he heard Angelica¡¯s words. It was convenient to know someone like Angelica. It was because she would always be in your shoes and consider everything carefully. Besides, Angelica was someone Su Ping could trust and rely on, even though she had always been a gentle and kind girl in front of him¡­ However, since they shared the same interests, Su Ping had always treated Angelica equally. Chapter 238 - 238 Respond in the Live Stream Room 238 Respond in the Live Stream Room Finally, Angelica ended her visit to Su Ping. However, she wasn¡¯t in a hurry to leave. She had dinner with him in the evening before returning home. As soon as Angelica got home, she saw nearly a million concurrent viewers in her live stream room when she had just turned on her computer and hadn¡¯t even started her live stream. It was such a terrifying number of views. It was because someone who had a million fans was already enough to be called a top live streamer. Moreover, Angelica had so many concurrent viewers in her live stream room before she started. No streamer in the world could achieve such a number. In other words, when Angelica started streaming a new game, the total number of all active live streamers in the world might not even achieve such a high number of views as Angelica¡¯s. Currently, Angelica has truly become the leading figure in the field of live streaming in this world. It was also the reason why, when Su Ping brought Angelica to the meeting, the senior executives of the major game development companies were so respectful to her. Furthermore, they would also modestly accept all of Angelica¡¯s suggestions and opinions. The current Angelica was no longer just an ordinary streamer. She was a hugely influential figure in the live-streaming sector. [When will Angelica come back from Su Ping¡¯s place? I want to see her start the live stream as soon as possible!] [Haha! Brother, I think you must be dreaming. You should consider that Angelica hasn¡¯t seen Su Ping for a long time. I guess they didn¡¯t leave the room for the whole day. As for what they are doing¡­ Hehe! Since we¡¯re all adults, we should know what they¡¯re doing!] [Tsk-tsk! As the saying goes, ¡°absence makes the heart grow fonder.¡± I guess Angelica won¡¯t be able to come back and do her live stream today. Everyone should now leave the live stream room.] [I don¡¯t believe it! Angelica is definitely not a bad woman who forgets her friends when she sees her lover. She must still be thinking about us!] [Brother, you¡¯re too naive. Although Angelica doesn¡¯t look like the kind of person who¡¯s stupid and lovestruck, it¡¯s obvious that she hasn¡¯t been in a relationship much. Now that she has met a near-perfect partner like Su Ping, how can she hold back her feelings?] [Brothers, let¡¯s go. I think Angelica will announce the date of her next live stream in a while. Besides, didn¡¯t she say yesterday that she probably won¡¯t be live-streaming today?] [You¡¯re right. Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll ask about Su Ping¡¯s situation when Angelica is back to do her live stream tomorrow.] At this moment, Angelica¡¯s live stream room had become a large chat room, with countless people sharing their opinions and some information. Although Angelica had already made an announcement yesterday saying she would probably stop her live stream for a day¡­ However, Angelica had a huge number of fans, and many of them were her die-hard fans. Even though Angelica had already made an announcement, her fans were still gathered in the live stream room, looking forward to her live stream. Of course, it was also possible that some people would never turn off Angelica¡¯s live stream room, because that way, no matter when Angelica started her live stream, they would be the first to arrive on the scene. Angelica didn¡¯t start her live stream immediately. Instead, she looked through everyone¡¯s chat and comments in her live stream room. Seeing that many people were looking forward to her live stream, Angelica¡¯s heart was naturally filled with warmth and joy. However, Angelica blushed when she saw that many people were guessing what she and Su Ping were doing. Angelica thought, ¡°The two of us have clearly not done anything yet, so how can they make such a guess about me?!¡± After reading the text, Angelica couldn¡¯t help but imagine what would happen if something happened between her and Su Ping. She imagined how it would feel. Soon enough, Angelica felt her cheeks beginning to heat up. She quickly went to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water and finally returned to normal. Angelica cursed at the fans who liked to talk dirty in her heart. She finally tidied up her image and clicked to start her live stream after thinking for a while. After all, there were still so many people waiting for Angelica in her live stream room. Although she had already made an announcement yesterday that she might not be live streaming today, since it was still early, she might as well take the opportunity to chat with everyone. Also, Angelica knew that there must be many fans waiting for her to come back with news about Su Ping and tell them what Su Ping was doing. Angelica didn¡¯t want to disappoint her fans. She naturally wanted to tell them everything about Su Ping as soon as possible. As soon as Angelica pressed the button to start her live stream, numerous comments appeared in the live stream room. After all, nobody expected her to start her live stream. [Fuck?! Angelica, is that really you? I was in the live stream room when I suddenly heard a voice coming from it. I thought I was hallucinating because I missed you too much!] [Tsk-tsk! What a shameless person! Angelica is mine! Get out of my way!] [Angelica has finally started streaming. I knew you couldn¡¯t bear to part with us, so you¡¯ll start streaming!] [Host, how¡¯s Su Ping¡¯s situation? He hasn¡¯t shown up in front of us recently. What is he doing? Is he developing a new game?] [What kind of new game is Su Ping making? Why can¡¯t we get any news from him for such a long time? Is there something wrong with his health?] [Host, please report what you¡¯ve learned from your encounter with Su Ping today. Otherwise, everyone will continue to bombard you with comments!] When Angelica started her live stream, countless viewers in the live stream room began to urge her to tell them the news about Su Ping. Angelica naturally smiled when she saw the comments. After all, the main purpose of today¡¯s live stream was to report Su Ping¡¯s situation. However, since the live stream had started so suddenly, there were definitely many people who didn¡¯t know that Angelica had suddenly started live-streaming. It was why Angelica didn¡¯t disclose the news immediately. Instead, she was going to wait for a while. When more people joined Angelica¡¯s live stream room, she would answer all the questions about Su Ping and shock them. Chapter 239 - 239 Start the Live Stream Anytime 239 Start the Live Stream Anytime As many people were staying in Angelica¡¯s live stream room from the beginning, waiting for her to start her live stream at any time¡­ Hence, since many people had thought that Angelica probably wouldn¡¯t be live-streaming today, they didn¡¯t pay attention to Angelica¡¯s live stream at all. However, when Angelica started her live stream, the news quickly spread like a tide and then evolved into a terrifying tsunami that quickly rushed to countless forums and social media. Finally, everyone knew that Angelica was going to do her live stream today! Soon, less than half an hour after Angelica started her live stream, the number of concurrent viewers in her live stream room rapidly increased. When Angelica just started her live stream, there were less than a million concurrent viewers in the live stream room. However, more than five million concurrent viewers were watching the live stream half an hour later. It was because the day wasn¡¯t the weekend. Hence, many people might have already gone to sleep or been doing other things. Even so, the amount of traffic and popularity that Angelica was currently attracting was already at a terrifying level. Moreover, Angelica had done nothing after she started her live stream. She only opened the live stream room to interact and chat with the viewers. She didn¡¯t play any games or live stream content. Even so, many viewers were still willing to stay in Angelica¡¯s live stream room, just to keep her company and wait for news about Su Ping. After a while, Angelica could see that more and more viewers were urging her in the comments. Many who had been waiting in the live stream room were getting impatient. Looking at the live stream room¡¯s concurrent viewers, Angelica knew that it was about time to start the content of her live stream. She knew that if she continued to wait, many people might feel bored and dissatisfied with her. As a top live streamer, even if Angelica¡¯s achievements were enough to make people envious, she had never been arrogant or felt that she could do whatever she wanted. That was why Angelica still valued and respected every viewer and fan in the live stream room. Angelica definitely couldn¡¯t remember all of them in her heart, and she couldn¡¯t know all of them, because there were too many of them. However, Angelica would always consider whether her actions would affect her fans or if they would make them bored or dissatisfied. It also led to the result that there were almost no major conflicts happening in Angelica¡¯s live stream room, and the atmosphere in the live stream room was harmonious, giving people a warm feeling as if they were at home. It was also the reason many people who didn¡¯t play games liked to watch Angelica¡¯s live stream room every day after learning that she was a live streamer. Perhaps they didn¡¯t know what Angelica was streaming, nor did they have any interest in the game she was playing, but just watching the stream and listening to her pleasant voice was enough to make them feel satisfied and happy. Finally, Angelica cleared her throat and spoke calmly. ¡°Alright, many viewers are here now. I believe everyone can understand my actions. After all, if I reveal the important information as soon as I start the live stream, I¡¯ll definitely have to explain when a new group of viewers comes.¡± ¡°Not only is it a waste of time, but after hearing the same information so many times, many viewers might feel bored. So, it¡¯s about time now.¡± After listening to Angelica¡¯s words, many live stream room viewers perked up their ears almost instantly and then stared at the screen of the live stream room seriously and even some nervousness. Everyone was well aware of the reason why they were gathered in Angelica¡¯s live stream room. Today, they must hear something about Su Ping from Angelica. For example, what had Su Ping been up to recently, and what had made him disappear for such a long time? Was Su Ping working on a new game, or was he affected by something and couldn¡¯t show up? or was there something wrong with Su Ping¡¯s health? All in all, the countless questions surrounding Su Ping were the topics of concern for countless live stream room viewers. Hence, everyone felt that Angelica¡¯s live broadcast today was very important to them. Whether it was those who liked Su Ping, those who liked his games, or those who liked to watch Angelica and Su Ping¡¯s love line, they were all paying close attention to today¡¯s live stream. Angelica cleared her throat, organized her words, and said calmly. ¡°First of all, I would like to respond to the rumors about Su Ping¡¯s health. I would like to make it clear that these rumors are all false and without any basis.¡± ¡°I went to Su Ping¡¯s place to see him today. Other than the fact that he hasn¡¯t left his house for more than ten days, which made him look a little unkempt and listless, there¡¯s nothing wrong with him!¡± ¡°In short, don¡¯t make wild guesses about Su Ping¡¯s health from now on. The games he makes are excellent, but they¡¯re all within his capabilities.¡± After saying it, Angelica looked at the comments to see what the others¡¯ attitudes were. As soon as Angelica finished speaking, the live stream room started discussing and communicating through the comments. [Oh! It turns out that Su Ping is fine. I was worried for nothing. But I hope Su Ping won¡¯t lose contact with us again. It makes us worry!] [That¡¯s right! Anyone would suspect that something is wrong with a living person who hasn¡¯t shown up in front of you for half a month. I hope Su Ping won¡¯t do it again.] [Speaking of which, since Su Ping¡¯s health is fine, what is he doing at home every day? Angelica only talked to Su Ping once, didn¡¯t she?] [Haha! Angelica just said that Su Ping¡¯s health is fine. Has she checked him?] [Eh? Now that I think about it, it does make sense. Host, tell me what you two did when you went to see Su Ping today. Did you do something inappropriate?] As the chat went on, the topic started to change, and it even started to become weird, which made Angelica feel helpless. Even worse, some comments discussed what Angelica had been doing since she met Su Ping, which infuriated her. Chapter 240 - 240 Challenging the Limits 240 Challenging the Limits Of course, even though Angelica was unhappy with the viewer¡¯s tease, she wasn¡¯t someone who would take it too seriously. Hence, she didn¡¯t argue with them. Then, Angelica started to talk about other things about Su Ping. ¡°The second question. What has Su Ping been doing all this time?¡± ¡°I believe that this is what everyone is most concerned about, right?¡± After all, Su Ping¡¯s game had always attracted the attention of many people. Besides, Su Ping is now the best game producer in the world. That was why everyone was concerned about what Su Ping was busy with. Angelica quickly continued, ¡°I¡¯m sure many viewers can guess what Su Ping is doing.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Su Ping is working on his new game!¡± As soon as the viewers heard it, the number of comments skyrocketed, and many people were discussing what Angelica¡¯s words meant. [What? Is Su Ping really making a new game? Haha! That¡¯s great! But what game is Su Ping working on? Why he didn¡¯t reveal anything?] [That¡¯s right! Su Ping used to give us some information when he made a new game. Why he didn¡¯t reveal anything to us this time?] [By the way, what kind of game is Su Ping making? Based on his usual speed and habits, it¡¯s been almost half a month. Is the new game about to be finished?] [That¡¯s right! How¡¯s Su Ping¡¯s progress with his new game? Can you tell us about it?] Seeing that the comments were all urging her, Angelica didn¡¯t want to waste too much time and immediately replied. ¡°I can¡¯t reveal what the game Su Ping is making is for now, but what I can tell you is¡­¡± ¡°The game that Su Ping is working on is very interesting. I tried it out when I went to see him. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that I wanted to come back and do a live stream, I would have been able to play it.¡± ¡°Besides, Su Ping doesn¡¯t want me to stay there for too long. Maybe I don¡¯t want to come back anymore if he let me stay there because it¡¯s so interesting!¡± ¡°I can guarantee that although the game might take a little longer to produce, no one will be disappointed after it is completed.¡± ¡°No matter what kind of game you like to play, no matter if you are a casual player or a player who likes to fight, there will be nothing that you are dissatisfied with!¡± ¡°Also, let me explain why Su Ping took such a long time to make the game.¡± ¡°It¡¯s because Su Ping wants to challenge his limits this time. He hopes to make a better game to repay everyone. So, I hope everyone can wait patiently and give him enough time. He won¡¯t let you down!¡± Many live stream room viewers were surprised by Angelica¡¯s series of words. Challenge his limits? Wanted to make a better game? If that were the case, everything could be explained. For example, the viewers knew why Su Ping took so long to produce his new game this time. They also could understand why even though Su Ping hadn¡¯t left his house for more than ten days, there was still no news about his new game. After understanding the situation, the live stream room viewers were naturally satisfied. Furthermore, the promise Angelica had made for everyone was something that many of them looked forward to¡ªThe new game would definitely not disappoint them. Each of the terms could easily cause people to have different expectations about Su Ping¡¯s new game. At this moment, although no one had seen what the new game looked like, and they didn¡¯t even have a little bit of information¡­ However, many players were now looking forward to Su Ping¡¯s new game being released. [I¡¯m looking forward to it. I want to know what Su Ping¡¯s game will be like after he finishes it. It must be interesting!] [That¡¯s right! Su Ping¡¯s games have never disappointed us. I¡¯m sure he won¡¯t disappoint us too this time!] [I knew a great incident must be going to happen since there is no news about Su Ping these days. I knew it!] The atmosphere in the live stream room had become cheerful. Countless viewers were looking forward to the game content that Su Ping was going to complete. If someone else said that they wanted to challenge their limits, many people might not believe it. However, since it was Su Ping who said that, many people agreed with him. Su Ping had, after all, produced some truly outstanding games and garnered the respect of countless gamers everywhere. Since Su Ping had said he was going to challenge his limits, many people would believe that Su Ping could do it. After a while, the hottest topic in Angelica¡¯s live stream room was still related to Su Ping. However, it was an inevitable situation. After all, Su Ping had always been an important person in the live stream room. Besides, Su Ping played a part in Angelica¡¯s achievements. Among Angelica¡¯s many fans, many of them were fans of Su Ping¡¯s games. Su Ping didn¡¯t do live streams and didn¡¯t like to run his own social media account. As the only place where they could get important information from Su Ping, Angelica¡¯s live stream room had become the most important source of information for many people. Many people regarded Angelica as Su Ping¡¯s messenger. Whenever Su Ping revealed some new information, someone would join Angelica¡¯s live stream room to ask about the details. They would ask Su Ping what he had been up to recently and what he was up to. It wasn¡¯t until late at night that the number of people in Angelica¡¯s live stream room finally slightly decreased because many people had gone to bed. Most of the remaining viewers were still discussing the topics that were discussed in the previous live stream. For example, some were discussing what Su Ping¡¯s new game would be like, while others were discussing The Matrix. In Angelica¡¯s live stream room, there would never be an awkward situation. Since Su Ping had provided them with enough content, there were many topics for them to discuss. This time, Angelica turned off her live stream late. Although she was about to go to bed, she wasn¡¯t sleepy at all. The feeling Angelica had when she played the game at Su Ping¡¯s house was still lingering in her mind. It could be said that until now, Angelica was still affected by that game. Chapter 241 - 241 Super Long Game Production 241 Super Long Game Production After Angelica helped Su Ping promote his new game and introduced his recent status to the viewers and fans, it finally achieved a good effect. At least, after the content of Angelica¡¯s live stream was online, most of the players would no longer have to guess what Su Ping had been up to recently. Most importantly, Angelica¡¯s live stream raised the viewers¡¯ anticipation. She made the viewers look forward to Su Ping¡¯s new game. Now, everyone was looking forward to Su Ping¡¯s new game because of Angelica¡¯s words. They were looking forward to the game that Su Ping thought was a challenge to his new limits and a new goal. By noon the next day, the content of Angelica¡¯s live stream from last night had spread to every corner of the internet. It didn¡¯t matter how much attention a person paid to Angelica¡¯s live stream or Su Ping¡¯s game, as long as they turned on their phone or computer, they would be able to see the relevant information. Meanwhile, many speculations about Su Ping¡¯s new game and comments from famous players flooded the public¡¯s eyes. Many articles about Su Ping were at the top of the search list. Countless people wanted to see what Su Ping¡¯s new game would be like. The popularity had been going on for three days. However, Su Ping didn¡¯t show up again. Besides, Su Ping didn¡¯t talk to the others about the progress of the new game. As time went on, the popularity of the new game would drop to a normal level. Before everyone knew it, a month had passed. Everyone felt like The Matrix had only been officially released yesterday. Angelica had been live streaming yesterday. Since Su Ping hadn¡¯t released a new game for a long time, she had to find games developed by other game development companies to be her live-stream content. For some reason, when the live stream had just started, many people were already discussing Su Ping. Su Ping would be mentioned in the live streams before, such as what he was doing now and when his new game would be completed. However, Angelica never met a situation where she could see Su Ping¡¯s name in all of the comments like today. [The Matrix III has been out for more than a month. Why hasn¡¯t Su Ping done anything yet? I don¡¯t think it¡¯s his style.] [That¡¯s right! It¡¯s taking too long. Based on his previous speed, I¡¯m afraid Su Ping could have finished two games by now. Why haven¡¯t we heard anything about this new game?] [Could it be that something goes wrong with Su Ping¡¯s game? Otherwise, we should hear some information from him!] [Host, do you know what¡¯s going on? Or can you help us ask Su Ping about the progress of his new game? That way, we¡¯ll have a better idea.] [Host, hurry up and ask what¡¯s going on with Su Ping?] More and more comments appeared in the live stream room. As some people began to ask about Su Ping, the rest of the people focused their attention on him. Meanwhile, Angelica had just finished streaming a game. As a streamer who has always respected and even doted on her fans, she naturally couldn¡¯t ignore the comments. It was true that more than a month had passed and there was still no news from Su Ping. It was only natural that the players were worried. Therefore, Angelica thought for a while to organize her words and then spoke lightly. ¡°I¡¯m happy for Su Ping that you¡¯re all so concerned about his new game. But I can tell you for sure that there¡¯s nothing wrong with his new game¡¯s production.¡± ¡°He will contact me from time to time throughout the game production and tell me about the progress.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I can assure you that the game will be released sooner or later. It¡¯s just that the game is too difficult and cumbersome to develop, so it took a lot of time.¡± Even though Angelica had already answered their questions seriously once, the live stream room viewers didn¡¯t seem to appreciate it so much. After all, Angelica¡¯s words sounded too general, and she didn¡¯t reveal any more important information about the game. [That¡¯s all?] [We all know that Su Ping¡¯s game is going to be fine, but how long will it take for the game to be completed? There has to be an estimated time, right?] [That¡¯s right! We¡¯ve been waiting for a month. We¡¯ve already finished playing Su Ping¡¯s previous games. If the new game isn¡¯t released, I feel like the grass is going to grow on my device.] [Can you just tell us the exact time? I¡¯m worried that my patience will run out if I wait any longer!] Su Ping¡¯s unusual lack of release of a new game this time might have made many players feel uncomfortable and unacceptable. If it was in the past, people wouldn¡¯t have continued asking questions after Angelica responded so formally. However, they couldn¡¯t do that today. It was obvious that the players didn¡¯t accept such a simple explanation from Angelica. In fact, Angelica felt very helpless about it, but she had no choice. She was a live streamer, and she couldn¡¯t go against the millions of people in the live stream room. If Angelica did that, even though she has tens of millions of fans now, she would become infamous sooner or later. After some consideration, Angelica decided to ask Su Ping for an exact time and then return to the live stream to inform everyone. ¡°Is this okay? Everyone, give me some time. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer in tomorrow¡¯s or the day after¡¯s live stream.¡± ¡°However, it¡¯s the best I can do. At that time, if Su Ping gives me an answer that still can¡¯t satisfy you all, there¡¯s nothing I can do. After all, Su Ping is the one who makes the game.¡± Angelica¡¯s actions had finally gained the approval of the live stream room viewers, and today¡¯s live stream contrary had finally ended. On the other side, Su Ping, who had an unkempt beard and dark circles under his eyes, had finally finished his day¡¯s work. Su Ping was satisfied with the work he was about to complete. Chapter 242 - 242 Urging for Updates 242 Urging for Updates The next afternoon, while Su Ping was finishing up his game, he suddenly received a message that Angelica was coming to see him. Without waiting for Su Ping¡¯s reply, Angelica told him that she had arrived at his house. Su Ping was puzzled and thought, ¡°Since when did Angelica become so anxious?¡± ¡°I have been discussing with Angelica about the progress of the new game, so she shouldn¡¯t be in such a hurry to come to my house to check on the progress, right?¡± However, since Angelica was already at the door, Su Ping couldn¡¯t just stop her at the door. As soon as Su Ping heard the knock, he opened the door and let Angelica in. Since the two of them were on good terms, Angelica didn¡¯t need to be polite. She went straight to Su Ping¡¯s bedroom. Su Ping felt helpless about the situation. He had no idea what was going on with Angelica today. Su Ping asked in confusion after they entered the bedroom, ¡°By the way, what¡¯s wrong with you today? Didn¡¯t I tell you that the game production has been going smoothly and that it might be almost completed?¡± ¡°Just wait a few more days and I might have personally sent the game over to you. Why are you in such a hurry?¡± To answer Su Ping¡¯s question, Angelica told him what had happened during the live stream the day before. Meanwhile, he finally understood what was going on and what she was doing. After all, Angelica was a live streamer, and she did need to follow the viewers¡¯ wishes. Afterward, Su Ping continued and asked. ¡°So, you come here today to get an accurate date so that you can explain to your viewers, right?¡± Angelica nodded and said. ¡°That¡¯s right! Yesterday, many people suddenly asked me the date of you to complete your game. Although I¡¯ve explained, they weren¡¯t satisfied. They wanted me to come and ask you personally.¡± ¡°So, how¡¯s the production of your game going? You told me a few days ago that it¡¯s almost done. How long do you need to finish it?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to make everyone wait for ten days to half a month. I¡¯m guessing a lot of people will be complaining on your social media.¡± Su Ping said with a smile after listening to the last sentence. ¡°Haha! You don¡¯t know yet, right? I don¡¯t even dare to open my social media account now because I know that I¡¯ll get at least hundreds of thousands of messages when I open it.¡± ¡°And they¡¯re all urging me to release the new game as soon as possible.¡± Angelica couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. Perhaps it was something that was both painful and happy for Su Ping. After all, the fact that he had received so many private messages meant that Su Ping¡¯s game was still popular. Besides, Su Ping¡¯s fans were very loyal. Many of them were still looking forward to his new game. However, if the players kept sending private messages to Su Ping¡¯s social media account would cause him some trouble. After all, if too many people sent private messages at the same time, Su Ping might not be able to use his account to handle his matters. His private messages would be pushed to the bottom by the content of the players urging him to release the new game. It would be impossible to find them. As for the specific time, Su Ping said faintly after some thought. ¡°You want to know how long it will take for my game to be completed, right? Alright, you can give everyone an accurate answer when you go back.¡± ¡°One week. In less than a week, I¡¯m sure everyone can see the final production of the game.¡± ¡°Of course, it only means that the game has been completed. It may take some time for the game to be released because you know that the game is huge and the content is on a completely different level compared to the previous games.¡± ¡°Hence, I might need to do some small-scale testing first. For example, I¡¯ll ask the game development company to help me test it, or I¡¯ll just release some codes and invite more hardcore players to do the testing.¡± ¡°In this case, even if the game is completed, it might take at least a month or so for the game to be officially released.¡± Su Ping spread his hands helplessly when he saw Angelica frowning. ¡°It¡¯s already the fastest I can think of. This game is so huge, and the future game will definitely have its own economic system. All these things have to be carefully examined.¡± ¡°The economic system for such a large game may even be connected to the currencies we use daily. If I don¡¯t sort it out and make the game¡¯s economic system more reasonable, I¡¯m afraid there will be a big problem!¡± Su Ping¡¯s voice turned serious. After all, he was an experienced game producer. Besides, in his previous life, Su Ping had played many games where the content of the games linked to the currencies in real life. Some games with a good economic system could healthily develop internal transactions. Some of the economic systems weren¡¯t good enough, which eventually led to the collapse of the virtual value in the game and the loss of a large number of players. It would be a huge blow to the game. Therefore, before the game was officially released, Su Ping had to make sure that the economic system of the game didn¡¯t have any fatal bugs! Only after all of it was done and all of the components were confirmed to be flawless could the game be released. After listening to Su Ping¡¯s explanation, Angelica naturally understood that what he had done was part of the necessary process. For such an epoch-making game, any one of the components being omitted could cause inestimable consequences. No one could bear the losses that would result from this. Hence, Angelica nodded and said. ¡°Alright, I understand what you mean. In other words, this game may launch a mini beta test in a week and invite live streamers and some veteran players.¡± ¡°The game will take at least a month to be officially released, right?¡± Su Ping nodded at Angelica¡¯s words. ¡°Yeah, you¡¯re right. By the way, why don¡¯t we organize an event where we can select some players from your live stream to participate in the test? What do you think of this event?¡± Upon hearing it, Angelica was immediately overjoyed. Chapter 243 - 243 The Test, Is About to Begin 243 The Test, Is About to Begin ¡°Picking up lucky players from my live stream room?¡± Angelica couldn¡¯t imagine how lively her live stream would be after she announced the news. Angelica knew very well the identities of the people in her live stream, even though some of them were her fans¡­ However, most of the fans must have liked Su Ping more. It was the reason so many live stream room viewers urged him to release his new game as soon as possible. Su Ping¡¯s new game has already made the players look forward to it for a long time. However, his new game needed one more month to be officially released. Therefore, the invitation to experience the game in advance was extremely precious. It was even possible that this experience quota was worth thousands of yuan to many people! Of course, Su Ping had considered the situation when he designed the experience system. He wanted to prevent people from making a fortune by using the invitation code. Angelica suddenly asked, ¡°Then how many people do you plan to invite for the beta test to experience the game in advance?¡± ¡°After all, your game is going to be sold worldwide, and there¡¯s so much content in it. If the number of players experiencing it is less, it won¡¯t be effective, right?¡± Su Ping nodded. ¡°Of course! I¡¯ll need a lot of players to test all the content of my game. I¡¯ll also need these players to test whether the economic system of the game is reasonable.¡± ¡°As for the number of players, I think we should set it at 100000. Do you think the scale should be enough?¡± 100,000 players? It was only the game¡¯s testing phase? In the entire history of the gaming industry, such a horrifying number was probably unheard of. After all, most games might not even be able to reach 100000 concurrent users. The game was still in the beta stage, and Su Ping wanted to invite so many people to participate in the beta test? How much confidence did he have in his game to do it? Coincidentally, Su Ping¡¯s game had such power and appeal. The players were willing to fight for the test quota for Su Ping. It could even be said that the 100000 beta players were only a drop in the ocean. It was because after thinking for a while, Angelica said indifferently, ¡°It should be enough. If you increase the quota, the test would be meaningless. If you cut off the quota, you can¡¯t test your game.¡± ¡°Then, let¡¯s decide the number to be 100000 people. Let¡¯s find 100000 people to enter the game server in advance for testing and then collect data.¡± ¡°However, what do you think is the best way to do the testing code? If we don¡¯t set any restrictions, I¡¯m worried that someone will sell it for a high price to make profits.¡± ¡°It might have a certain impact on your reputation. Many people might even say that you deliberately set up the test to make money through those test quotas.¡± Su Ping nodded in agreement. Of course, he knew that all of this could happen. One should never challenge humanity. Even though Su Ping had become a recognized leader in the gaming industry, the relationships in the industry were still complicated. Where there were people, there would be disputes over profits. It seemed that Su Ping had gained everyone¡¯s support, but there would certainly be many people who were dissatisfied with him. Many people would also think that Su Ping¡¯s appearance had taken away their benefits and the wealth and resources that should have been theirs. Therefore, these people would keep a close eye on Su Ping. Once Su Ping¡¯s career went wrong, these people would rush up like hungry wolves, trying to eat Su Ping¡¯s body. Hence, Su Ping couldn¡¯t be overconfident. He had to think through everything before he made his move. Su Ping said after some thought. ¡°It is indeed a very important question. I¡¯ll look for the game development companies¡¯ employees to plan this together. In short, we¡¯ll do it to the best of our ability.¡± ¡°All you need to do now is to reveal to everyone when the test will start and when the game will be officially released.¡± ¡°The other questions, including the test qualifications and the number of quotas, will have to wait until I¡¯m done with these things.¡± Su Ping¡¯s words had set a boundary for the information that Angelica could disclose. As long as the topic was within the boundaries, Angelica could come up with her ideas. After Su Ping finished, Angelica nodded and didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll tell everyone when I¡¯m back to my live stream room today. By the way, can you let me see how your game production is going?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve always heard you say that the game production is going smoothly and is almost complete, but I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen it with my own eyes. How is your game going?¡± After talking about the important topic, Angelica started to look forward to the game more and more. Su Ping chuckled. He knew that Angelica would be interested in his game. Since Angelica had come all the way here today, she definitely couldn¡¯t return empty-handed. Su Ping nodded and said, ¡°Of course, there¡¯s no problem. Wait a moment. I¡¯ll go get the equipment. You can go in and experience it.¡± ¡°However, I think if you still want to live stream tonight, you won¡¯t be able to experience much.¡± Angelica smiled. She was full of anticipation for what she was going to do next. It was almost 9 p.m. when Angelica finally returned home from Su Ping¡¯s place. It was an inevitable situation. As soon as Angelica put on the equipment and entered the game, things got out of hand. She didn¡¯t even want to go back. She felt like she wanted to stay at Su Ping¡¯s place for the whole night. Fortunately, Angelica knew the importance of the matter, so she finally controlled her desire to play games and rushed back in time. Angelica turned on her live stream room and could already see the complaints of the viewers even before she started her live stream. They were all asking why she hadn¡¯t started her live stream yet. The viewers were all asking whether tonight¡¯s live stream would be canceled. Upon seeing it, Angelica quickly clicked on the mouse and started today¡¯s live stream, which was very important. Chapter 244 - 244 News of the Beta Test 244 News of the Beta Test Angelica suddenly turned on the live stream, which surprised everyone in the live stream room. The number of comments in the live stream room also began to increase rapidly. [Wow! You¡¯re live-streaming at this hour? Host, I thought you won¡¯t be live streaming today.] [That¡¯s right! Normally, you should have started your live stream two hours before. I thought I won¡¯t be able to watch your live stream today.] [Speaking of which, host, why are you still streaming so late at night? Is there something particularly important that you want to tell us?] [Hurry up and tell us about Su Ping¡¯s current situation. How long will it take for Su Ping¡¯s new game to be released? We can¡¯t wait for it!] [Aah! Angelica is live streaming now! I have to inform everyone. I feel that Angelica must have some particularly shocking news to tell everyone today.] Seeing the comments that kept appearing in the live stream room, Angelica smiled and greeted everyone, and then did the same as usual. Angelica had to wait for a moment before she talked about important things. Angelica would wait for the number of people in the live stream room to be enough and wait for more people to learn of the news and join her live stream room. Afterward, she would start talking about important things. Otherwise, there would be a lot of viewers joining the live stream room during the live stream, and Angelica would have to repeat the same thing. Doing so was very troublesome and time-consuming. The live stream room viewers obviously understood Angelica¡¯s habit, so they weren¡¯t in a hurry at first. They spread the news to let more people know. For example, if someone and his friends liked Angelica, they would watch the live stream together. Or some people joined the fan group related to Angelica, and now these people would go to the group chat to inform others to watch the live stream. About ten minutes later, the number of concurrent viewers in Angelica¡¯s live stream room had increased several times compared to when the live stream had just started. After all, Su Ping had been too mysterious recently. Many people were curious and wanted to know what Su Ping had been doing. Seeing that the number of people in the live stream room had gradually stabilized and the growth rate was gradually slowing down, Angelica cleared her throat and said faintly. ¡°Alright, everyone is here now. Let me tell you what I learned from Su Ping today.¡± ¡°I hope everyone can be mentally prepared in advance. Some important things will definitely shock you!¡± ¡°If you¡¯re easily frightened, please prepare a Quick-Acting Heart Reliever. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I won¡¯t be responsible.¡± Angelica smiled mysteriously as she said it. The suspense atmosphere made countless people in the live stream room, even more, look forward to her words. [Damn! Why is the host so confident today? It seems like there¡¯s going to be a big scoop about Su Ping this time!] [I can¡¯t help but want to know what exactly is going on. Host, can you stop making us curious and quickly tell us what¡¯s going on?!] [Angelica, if you don¡¯t say it, I¡¯m going to unsubscribe you!] [I knew it. I knew that Su Ping must be doing something important.] Although Angelica hadn¡¯t revealed any news yet, the atmosphere in the live stream room had been completely mobilized. The viewers were guessing what information Angelica had gotten from Su Ping and what he had been doing recently. Finally, Angelica said lightly. ¡°Let me talk about the time that everyone is concerned about. Let¡¯s talk about when will Su Ping¡¯s new game be released.¡± As soon as Angelica said it, the number of comments in the live stream room instantly decreased by a lot. Although it was a live stream room and there was only a network cable and two screens between them¡­ However, Angelica could imagine that the viewers and netizens on the other side of the screen should be holding their breaths nervously. Angelica smiled and said faintly, ¡°It will take at least a month for Su Ping¡¯s new game to be officially released.¡± As soon as Angelica said it, there seemed to be a wailing sound in the live stream room saying, ¡°A month?!¡± It was a piece of terrible news for the players who loved Su Ping¡¯s games. After all, everyone had expected it to take no more than a week or half a month, and the new game would be released no matter what. Now, they got information from Angelica that they had to wait for a month! How could they accept this?! [No way. I haven¡¯t heard any news from Su Ping for more than half a month. Why do we have to wait another month for the new game? What kind of game is this?!] [Host, please tell us what¡¯s going on. Why did Su Ping take so long to make the new game? Is he not as motivated to make games as before?] [I strongly request that the host reveal where Su Ping lives. We won¡¯t do anything but send Su Ping some interesting things to help him regain his motivation to make games!] [What¡¯s going on? There¡¯s still a month to wait. It is simply taking my life!] Seeing the screams and howls in the live stream room, Angelica knew such a scene would happen. Fortunately, Angelica had expected it, so she continued. ¡°Everyone, please don¡¯t be too anxious. Although the game¡¯s official release is still quite far away, before the game is officially released, the game will start its closed beta in the next week!¡± ¡°There are 100000 slots. This number was set to take care of players all over the world. Moreover, the new game has a built-in economic system that needs to be tested, so this number of testing slots is considered quite large.¡± ¡°The registration method will appear in the lower right corner of my live stream room. Everyone, you only need to fill in your email address and verify your identity. Then, you will complete the registration.¡± ¡°The spots will be randomly distributed!¡± Chapter 245 - 245 Randomly Picking the Players 245 Randomly Picking the Players After some discussion, Su Ping and Angelica decided to distribute the beta test quota randomly. Of course, it also included the identity verification required during the registration process, as well as many more complicated steps. The steps were mainly taken to ensure that the game¡¯s beta test quota wouldn¡¯t be sold after one had obtained it. It was because if one wanted to log in, they would likely need to go through a face-verification process. If someone sold their invitation code to someone else, the other person wouldn¡¯t be able to pass the face verification in the game, and naturally, they wouldn¡¯t be able to play the game. This way, it could prevent scalpers from using a large number of accounts to register, causing many fake accounts to appear in the game during the beta test. Moreover, it could prevent the huge fluctuations that the scalpers caused in the game account market. It could also prevent people from turning the qualifications originally issued for testing games into economic activity. Su Ping didn¡¯t want the scalpers to make a fortune from his game before he could even make money from it. Su Ping felt that he would feel worse than losing money when he saw the scalpers making money from his game. After listening to Angelica¡¯s words, the live stream room was in chaos. No one expected that Angelica would reveal such a big piece of news after saying that it would take a month for the game to be officially launched. 100000 beta test slots? A new game? Moreover, the game even had a built-in economic system. It seemed that the game was different from the games that Su Ping had made before. It might be a game with online and social features. The game had a built-in economic system. It seemed that this game was different from the games that Su Ping had made before. It might be a game with online and social features. It was interesting! Many live stream room viewers began to guess and associate what kind of mode the game would be. [Could this game be a survival online game? Everyone will form their team on the wasteland, and then become stronger by killing monsters, leveling up, and upgrading equipment?] [That¡¯s too old-fashioned. Didn¡¯t Su Ping say he was going to break through his limits this time? We definitely won¡¯t be able to guess the game¡¯s contents. In short, it¡¯s definitely not a simple leveling-up game!] [I¡¯m looking forward to it, especially with the economic system. I dare say that this game has a strong social attribute. Now I can finally ask my friends to play along with me!] [Su Ping has finally come to his senses. Since his games are so good, it would be a loss if he only made single-player games. I can¡¯t imagine his income if he made a social game and added on some game character¡¯s outfits and accessories!] [I just hope that Su Ping can test the economic system better. Otherwise, the economic system will become a paradise for studios and scalpers!] [Speaking of which, there are only 100000 test slots at most? Isn¡¯t the quota a little too small? Although it looks like a lot, compared to Su Ping¡¯s fans, the number is probably only one in a thousand!] [That¡¯s right! I wonder if Su Ping can add more testing slots for the game. When the game is officially launched, will the data accumulated during the tests be inherited or deleted?] Angelica suddenly saw the last comment and realized that it was an important question. After all, the OASIS that Su Ping was designing had a strong social attribute and the players were divided into different levels. If the data from the beta test could be inherited on the official server, wouldn¡¯t that mean that the players who could draw the test qualification would be one step ahead of others? It was obviously an injustice to the players who didn¡¯t get the right to draw. Angelica immediately sent Su Ping a message to ask him about it. A few minutes later, Angelica finally received Su Ping¡¯s reply. She didn¡¯t know if Su Ping had just read it or if he had been thinking about it for the past few minutes. In short, Su Ping¡¯s reply was very simple. There was only a word. ¡°Inherit!¡± The moment she saw the word, Angelica felt her heartbeat slow down. As a veteran gamer, Angelica knew what it meant to inherit the data of the test server without deleting it! The situation made Angelica hesitate about whether she should tell the viewers about Su Ping¡¯s reply. She was worried that if she said it, it would cause chaos among the players. The chaos was probably no less than the end of the world. It was as if an earthquake. If such an earthquake happened in the real world, the entire earth would probably be completely destroyed. However, after thinking for a moment, Angelica finally took a deep breath. She knew she had no other choice. Angelica only had one choice¡ªshe had to tell the live stream room viewers the truth. Meanwhile, many live stream room viewers noticed Angelica¡¯s strange expression, and they began to urge her to continue. Angelica took a deep breath, looked at the camera in the live stream room seriously, and then said word by word. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, I asked Su Ping whether the data in the beta test would be kept in the official server. In the end, I can tell you clearly that Su Ping¡¯s answer is yes!¡± ¡°As long as you are qualified to enter the beta server, you will be able to experience the new game three weeks earlier than others. Moreover, all the data accumulated in the game will be retained.¡± ¡°It will allow you to establish your advantage on the official server before the others. You might even become a boss!¡± As expected, the viewers¡¯ reaction was the same as what Angelica had expected. It could be said that the originally dense comments in the live stream room were cleared in an instant. At this moment, many players were probably thinking about life in front of their screens. Everyone knew how important the test qualification lucky draw was. After a short period of suppression, the live stream room was in chaos. Countless viewers typed out their thoughts desperately. [What the heck?! The official server is inheriting the data of the beta test?! Is Su Ping crazy?!] [Although it will be disadvantageous to those who don¡¯t get the qualification, it¡¯s fine as long as I can get the qualification. Speaking of which, why hasn¡¯t the link appeared yet? I¡¯ll go and complete the registration now!] [I don¡¯t want to wait any longer. When will the qualifications for the beta test be officially announced? Will there be scalpers or something like that?] [Since we need to verify our identity, there shouldn¡¯t be any scalpers, right¡­] Chapter 246 - 246 The Benefits of Being a Live Streamer 246 The Benefits of Being a Live Streamer Seeing the eager and enthusiastic live stream room viewers, Angelica quickly put the link to register for the beta test in her live stream room. Afterward, the number of comments in the live stream room decreased a lot. Everyone had already clicked on the link to register their personal information. It could be said that if one obtained the test qualification, it was almost equivalent to booking the position of a big shot in the game in the future. Moreover, it was a game created by Su Ping. No one would question the quality of Su Ping¡¯s game anymore. Everyone knew that Su Ping¡¯s games would never disappoint. The new game also featured an unprecedented social feature and an internal economic system. Some smart people could already see how much profit this game would involve in the future. It could be said that if one could be one step ahead of others and form their faction in this game, they could accumulate a certain amount of reputation. In the future, they could even rely on the game to help them to be wealthy! There was no shortage of smart people in this world, and there were also many popular online games in the world. Some online games that were on the verge of being eliminated could provide a lot of income to many people. Not to mention it was a new game that would become a global hit in the future. The benefits involved in the game were simply unimaginable. At this moment, Angelica could see the data of the registration link. She had just put the registration link on the screen of the live stream room a few minutes ago¡­ At this moment, the total number of registrations shown in the data had exceeded one million! The one million registrations weren¡¯t made by studios. They were real accounts where players had registered with their identity and existed in reality. Moreover, a person couldn¡¯t register twice. As long as the person¡¯s authentication information was already in the back-end database, he couldn¡¯t register again. No matter how many phone numbers or social media accounts the person had, it was meaningless. It was a real one million people and not a figure that had been faked. Looking at the long string of numbers, Angelica couldn¡¯t help but click her tongue. Angelica thought, ¡°As expected from Su Ping¡¯s influences. Nobody else in the world can have such influences as him.¡± After a while, the comments in the live stream room finally began to gradually return to being denser. It was obvious that the viewers who had gone to register had already filled in all the information that they needed to fill in. Afterward, Angelica continued, ¡°The winners will be gradually announced within a week.¡± ¡°So, everyone, I hope that you can pay attention to the text messages on your phone in the coming week. If you are lucky enough to be selected, you will receive a text message.¡± ¡°Of course, even if you aren¡¯t get selected in the end, don¡¯t feel discouraged because of it. Anyway, the game will be officially released sooner or later. As long as your skills are good enough, I can guarantee that the gap in these three weeks will be completely closed.¡± ¡°Moreover, after the beta testing is officially launched, I will also start a live stream and enter the new game to adventure. I hope everyone can come to my live stream to support me.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll bring everyone to experience what the new game looks like, even though I¡¯ve already played a lot of things in the game.¡± In the end, Angelica couldn¡¯t help but laugh. At this time, she even felt a little superior. Angelica couldn¡¯t help but do it. It was because she could always play the game for free by relying on her relationship with Su Ping. Seeing the smile on Angelica¡¯s face, many viewers couldn¡¯t help but complain. [Hey, Angelica, you¡¯re still doing your live stream. Is it appropriate to show such an expression?] [Host, you¡¯re showing off your love again. That¡¯s enough. Everyone knows that you and Su Ping have a special relationship, but there¡¯s no need to show off!] [Host, please be careful in your words and actions. Otherwise, you might attract a large number of people to unsubscribe you!] [No! I can¡¯t take it anymore. Anyway, I¡¯ve registered for the beta test. I¡¯ll leave the live stream room now. I don¡¯t want to see the host showing such an expression anymore!] [Host, do you already have the qualifications to join the beta test? Then will you take up one of the qualifications of us ordinary players?] Angelica shook her head and said. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry. I said that these 100000 qualifications were randomly drawn. Then, there definitely won¡¯t be any problems.¡± ¡°As for Su Ping, he might invite many live streamers or some well-known players to the beta test. These qualifications are beyond the 100000 slots.¡± ¡°So, everyone, you don¡¯t have to worry that we might take your lucky draw qualification.¡± Angelica said it to comfort the live stream room viewers, but she didn¡¯t expect it to have a bad effect. [What?! As long as you are a live streamer or a skillful gamer, you can directly get the test slot.?! Is it too late for me to become a live streamer now?] [Damn it! Why didn¡¯t I think of this? Why couldn¡¯t I have become a live streamer earlier?!] [Hey, everyone, it¡¯s time to wake up from your dreams. A live streamer who can make Su Ping give him the test slot isn¡¯t an ordinary live streamer, alright? I think the live streamers who can make Su Ping give them the slots must have at least a million followers, right?] [You¡¯re right. I feel more at ease now. Haha!] Finally, the atmosphere in Angelica¡¯s live stream room became cheerful again. Of course, everyone¡¯s mood could be said to be both nervous and full of anticipation. Everyone hoped that they would be able to draw the test qualification. Although the game would be officially released sooner or later, they wanted to experience the game three weeks in advance. They wanted to accumulate data and levels in the game earlier than others. It was an extremely tempting thing. Who wouldn¡¯t want to be surrounded by new players who had just entered the game and called them ¡°big shots¡± when the game was officially released? They felt it would be even better if they could find a cute and beautiful girl among these players to play games with them. The popularity of Angelica¡¯s live stream room was extremely high that day. At its peak, her live stream room once again achieved tens of millions of concurrent viewers. It wasn¡¯t until the wee hours of the morning that Angelica finally clicked to close her live stream room and ended the day¡¯s live stream. However, the news released by Angelica today still caused a sensation on the Internet. Countless people couldn¡¯t fall asleep. They even had auditory hallucinations and felt their phones ringing. Chapter 247 - 247 The Beta Test That Everyone Is Looking Forward To 247 The Beta Test That Everyone Is Looking Forward To Su Ping¡¯s new game was about to start its beta test. It had become a hot topic on the internet. After all, Su Ping¡¯s games had always been loved by countless players. Everyone had high expectations for Su Ping¡¯s new games. This time, Su Ping took a long time to produce his new game. It gave everyone hope and anticipation. Everyone was curious about what Su Ping¡¯s new game would be like. Why did Su Ping usually take ten days to half a month to come up with a new game, but this time it took him nearly two months? Besides, Su Ping had never set up a beta test in his previous games. Everyone always felt that his games were all single-player games. This time, Su Ping was going to release an online game for the first time. Moreover, it had a complicated economic system and social attributes. All these aspects combined made Su Ping¡¯s new game even more mysterious. On the night after Angelica ended her live stream, many well-known online bloggers began to speak out. Someone posted a post to analyze the content of Su Ping¡¯s new game. Some people posted videos to analyze the features of Su Ping¡¯s previous games so that they could find the correct answer and figure out his new game¡¯s content. It had become an important topic that attracted the most attention recently. All the spotlights were focused on Su Ping¡¯s new game. By noon the next day, many of the topics related to Su Ping¡¯s new game were already the most searched topics on the forum. Half of the top ten searches were about Su Ping¡¯s new game. [Oh my goodness! Surprisingly, Su Ping is going to set up a beta test for his new game! I¡¯ve never seen such a thing before. I hope I can be a part of the players that can participate in the beta test!] [Me too! Whoever can participate in the beta test to play the game in advance will be so lucky. Moreover, the content of the beta test will be saved in the game¡¯s official data, right? It¡¯s simply ridiculous!] [Why are there only 100000 slots for the beta test? Su Ping has tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of fans in the world. 100000 slots are too few!] [That¡¯s right! I strongly urge Su Ping to add a few more slots! At least, there should be 1000000 slots, right? That¡¯s how Su Ping¡¯s influence is shown!] [Su Ping, I know you must be reading the posts on the internet and the comments section. If you see this post, add more slots immediately! Otherwise, we all will give you bad reviews after we lose the game!] Meanwhile, countless netizens were worried about the slots for the beta test. Everyone was worried that they wouldn¡¯t be able to participate in the beta test in the end. It would be fine if the content of the beta test wouldn¡¯t be inherited into the game¡¯s official server. However, the most important thing was that the content of the beta test would be retained. It made every player attach great importance to the beta test. After all, if they could start the game three weeks in advance, they would definitely be able to accumulate a greater advantage than other players when the game was officially released. The most important thing was that no one knew what mode Su Ping¡¯s new game would be. If it was a game that involved killing monsters, leveling up, and opening maps, then it would be very important to accumulate levels and equipment in advance. As the game¡¯s producer, Su Ping was paying attention to the topics about his game on the internet. After all, Su Ping wanted to make the greatest game in the world. Therefore, the reviews of the game would be very important. Besides, Su Ping didn¡¯t want the game that he had worked so hard to make to have its reputation ruined. No matter what, Su Ping had to learn more to optimize his game. Many netizens and players were paying attention to the matter. They all hoped that Su Ping could add more slots for the beta test. Although Su Ping wanted to increase the number of slots, he couldn¡¯t. After all, the reason why the beta test got its name was because of the word ¡°test.¡± The existence of the beta test server meant that the game wasn¡¯t completely completed. Moreover, the completion of a game wasn¡¯t just about completing the game content. It also included preparing the server and game optimization. Only after all these things were done could a game be officially released. Otherwise, Su Ping might face all kinds of problems and troubles after the game was officially released. For example, if Su Ping didn¡¯t do well in the game optimization, the players might experience a lot of lags and bugs while playing the game. In this case, even if some players had high equipment specifications, they might have poor game experience. No matter what, the game¡¯s optimization was important. Since Su Ping¡¯s game needed to be connected to the internet, the requirements for the game server would be huge. In history, there had been many cases where popular games were forced to temporarily stop working due to server problems. After all, this world already had advanced and mature immersive experience equipment. It made the situation that these pieces of equipment had high requirements for the game¡¯s other hardware. If they weren¡¯t advanced or optimized enough, Su Ping¡¯s hard work might be in vain. Therefore, as a game producer who had high expectations for the quality of his games, Su Ping would never allow such a thing to happen to him. Hence, no matter how the players and fans discussed the topic, Su Ping didn¡¯t give any response during the game production. Although Su Ping wanted to fulfill their wishes, he had no choice but to ignore them. Finally, as the players waited with anticipation, time passed day by day. The day of the final announcement of the slots for the beta test was getting closer and closer. At this moment, everyone was tensed up. Many people even had to check their phones hundreds of times a day to see if they had received any messages or messages about being able to participate in the beta test. They were worried that they might accidentally miss the content and miss the chance to enjoy the joy at the first moment. Since Su Ping didn¡¯t reveal when the messages would be sent out, everyone was watching the news nervously. At the same time, they prayed in their heart, hoping to be the lucky ones! Chapter 248 - 248 Announcement of the Winners 248 Announcement of the Winners Finally, a week passed. Tonight was the day when the winners of the beta test would be announced. As soon as Angelica entered her live stream room, she saw that many people had sent wishes in the comments. These people seemed to regard Angelica¡¯s live stream room as a wishing well and a holy land for making wishes. They thought that if they made their wishes here, they would have a higher probability of making them come true. Angelica also found the situation interesting. Of course, as a popular streamer who doted on fans and was tolerant of fans, she naturally wouldn¡¯t care about her fans¡¯ behavior. After all, everyone¡¯s behavior didn¡¯t affect others at all. Moreover, almost everyone was probably making wishes in Angelica¡¯s live stream room. The comments in the live stream room were densely packed. At a glance, they were all kinds of wishing messages. Some people even sent their names and important personal numbers in real life. They weren¡¯t worried that their personal information might be leaked and cause trouble. ¡°Let me kindly remind everyone that if you make a wish, I can at most allow you to send your name, but if anyone sends your phone number or even bank card number, I won¡¯t be polite.¡± ¡°I do this is for your good!¡± Angelica saw some of the fans¡¯ excessive actions and reminded them with a smile. It was a little abnormal for one to send out their private information. At this moment, Angelica suddenly felt like laughing. Normally, when she was live streaming if she just sit there quietly just like she did now¡­ Many people would urge Angelica to open the game or hurry up to do something quickly. However, since everyone¡¯s attention was attracted by the game¡¯s beta test today, they kept making wishes. On the contrary, no one cared about the live streamer, Angelica. Angelica felt helpless, but she couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Just as countless people were still making wishes, something that seemed different suddenly floated across the comment section in the live stream room. [Haha! I¡¯ve made it! I¡¯ve succeeded! I just received a text message saying I¡¯ve become a beta test user for the game ¡°Ready Player One.¡± Haha! I¡¯ve obtained the slot to participate in the beta test! God bless me!] The comment was long and contained a lot of information. Although there were a lot of comments in the live stream room, the unique comment quickly attracted many people¡¯s attention. After all, there were millions of people watching Angelica¡¯s live stream, so it was easy for others to see such a comment that was bringing good news. Therefore, many people quickly replied to the owner of the comment in the live stream room. [Darn it! There¡¯s a dog¡­] [Damn you! You must have stolen my slot to participate in the beta test. Give me back my slot!] [Damn it, why am I not the lucky one? I want to be qualified for the beta test too. Su Ping, did you hear me?] [Shit! Eh? I seem to have received a message as well. Fuck?! Ready Player One? It must be the name of Su Ping¡¯s new game. Haha, I think I¡¯ve become a beta test user too. Haha! I¡¯ve succeeded!] [Why are there so many shitty people in the live stream room? Host, can you mute all of them for 365 days? I won¡¯t be frustrated since I didn¡¯t see them!] As the slots were gradually distributed, more and more people in the live stream room began to obtain the qualifications to participate in the beta test. After these people obtained the qualifications, they naturally couldn¡¯t help but want to show off and celebrate, so they began to comment to express their joy. In this way, those who hadn¡¯t obtained the qualifications would naturally become even more anxious and envious. They would be more jealous of those who had obtained the qualifications. Many viewers were trying to persuade Angelica to forbid people from showing off in the live stream room, but she didn¡¯t do so. After all, the distribution of the beta test slots was all based on luck. Now that some players had finally encountered such a good thing, what was wrong with celebrating it? Moreover, even if some players didn¡¯t get the slot, it wasn¡¯t a big deal. When the time came, they could just join and watch Angelica¡¯s live stream. As long as the players knew the game¡¯s content in advance, they could naturally catch up with the progress when the game was officially released. There were even some players with rich gaming experience who could surpass the beta testers even if they started the game three weeks later! Angelica believed that there were definitely such players in this world. After all, Angelica had gone to Su Ping¡¯s place to try out the new game. She knew that it didn¡¯t matter when the players started playing the game. Although starting the game early would indeed accumulate a certain advantage in the early stages of the game, there were very important, or rather, very cruel, mechanisms and rules in the game. Once a player died in the game, all the data accumulated by the player, whether it was game coins or game items, would be completely wiped out! Unless players saved them to someone else¡¯s account before they died, and the person was their friend or relative, then they could get them back after their account was cleared. It was one of the important reasons why the game¡¯s social attribute was so important. Moreover, many things could cause players to die in the game, especially if they participated in battles, so the risk of death would greatly increase! For example, when Angelica went to Su Ping¡¯s house for the first time, she experienced the alien battlefield. The fight was so fierce that it could be called a meat grinder! Before the battle started, the battlefield looked quite peaceful. However, once the battle started, countless alien creatures would attack the players. Furthermore, the aliens were far more powerful than humans. Their bodies were their most powerful weapons! Under such circumstances, even the slightest mistake by a player could cause them to pay the price with their lives. When players died, their bodies would instantly explode. Afterward, they would turn into countless gold coins scattered on the ground. It meant that the player needed to return to the resurrection point and start over. Therefore, under the influence of the mechanism, the timing with which the players start the game wouldn¡¯t play a decisive role in their ranks. The most important thing was to play well and avoid death as much as possible! Chapter 249 - 249 Starting in Three Days 249 Starting in Three Days Although the 100000 slots for Ready Player One¡¯s beta test were only a drop in the ocean compared to the total number of gamers, it was already a very large group. After all, even at the peak of many games, there might only be a few hundred thousand concurrent players. Now, although the game wasn¡¯t officially released, there were already millions¡ªor even tens of millions of people fighting for the slots to participate in the beta test. At least half of the 100000 people were gathered in Angelica¡¯s live stream room, and even though they might not like to send comments to interact with the live streamer¡­ However, now that they had obtained the qualification to participate in the beta test, they couldn¡¯t hide the joy in their hearts. They would comment in the comment section to show off. Therefore, the comment section in Angelica¡¯s live stream room had become a battlefield. Players who had been selected to take part in the beta test were expressing their happiness in the comment section. The players who were not qualified to take part in the beta test made a wish to shut up the lucky ones. Since Angelica was the host, although she would maintain the order of the live stream room from time to time, she wouldn¡¯t deliberately interfere in most cases. It wasn¡¯t until very late that the discussions about the qualifications finally calmed down a little. At this moment, most of the slots had been distributed. The remaining people who hadn¡¯t obtained the qualifications already knew in their hearts that they weren¡¯t the lucky ones. They naturally had a lot of regrets about it, but fortunately, they still had Angelica. They quickly decided to join her live stream room to watch the game content when the beta test officially started. Even if they couldn¡¯t play the game, they had to understand the game as soon as possible! At the end of today¡¯s live stream, Angelica smiled and said to everyone. ¡°Then today¡¯s live stream is about to end. I have to say goodbye to everyone.¡± ¡°I believe that tonight will be an unforgettable night for many of you. However, regardless of whether you are qualified to participate in the beta test or not, please calm down.¡± ¡°After all, games aren¡¯t everything in life. We still have to face the real world and normal life.¡± ¡°Therefore, for those who have obtained the qualification to take part in the beta test, I hope that you can take your good luck seriously.¡± ¡°As for those who can¡¯t take part in the beta test, it will be officially opened soon. When the time comes, please join my live stream room to support me!¡± ¡°Alright, that¡¯s it for today. I¡¯ll post the details of the beta test on my social media account after asking Su Ping. Please stay tune on my social media account.¡± After saying it, Angelica turned off her live stream. She was also very curious and concerned about when the beta test would start. After all, according to the date Su Ping had given, the beta test would officially begin in the next few days. The game would be officially released in less than three weeks. If the beta test started too late, there would be no point in testing. At that time, it would be better to officially release the game without starting a beta test. After ending the live stream, Angelica sent a message to Su Ping. ¡°Are you free? You can tell me when the beta test will start, right?¡± Angelica had asked Su Ping the question before, but he had always fooled her. Of course, the actual reason was that the game development company didn¡¯t give a specific answer. When Su Ping brought the game that he had almost completed to the game development company for negotiation, the volume of Ready Player One shocked the entire management of Steam. Since Su Ping¡¯s games were no longer sold exclusively on Steam, the other game development companies soon got the news too. One could say that it shocked the top brass in the international gaming industry. No one expected Su Ping to come up with such a bombshell after a month of silence! No one would doubt the success of Ready Player One. Everyone would only guess what the world would be like after the game was officially released. That¡¯s right, everyone agreed that the game Ready Player One would likely affect the entire world! It wasn¡¯t just affecting the entire gaming industry, but the entire world! It was also because of this that the preparations for Ready Player One encountered many problems. The game¡¯s volume was too huge, and there were too many players. It made the server work excessively. Nobody knew how long they would need to optimize the server. Hence, the game development companies hadn¡¯t given Su Ping an accurate answer. It was even a question of whether the game could be officially released in a month. Today, when Su Ping had finished his work for the day, he suddenly saw a message from Angelica. He smiled and said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The game development company has already given me an exact date. The beta test will officially start in three days!¡± ¡°The news will be officially announced by the major game development companies around noon tomorrow. Of course, if you want, you can use your account to announce the news tonight.¡± ¡°I believe that if the news isn¡¯t released today, at least 100000 people around the world will get insomnia because of this, right?¡± Hearing it, Angelica couldn¡¯t help but smile and say, ¡°You¡¯re such a smug. Your game isn¡¯t a beautiful woman, alright? Why will there be so many people who can¡¯t sleep and are thinking about it?¡± Su Ping retorted, ¡°You don¡¯t understand. For people who like to play games, games are more attractive than a beautiful woman!¡± ¡°Wait, aren¡¯t you a gamer? Oh! I get it. Since you¡¯re already a beautiful woman, you can¡¯t understand what I mean, right?¡± Su Ping didn¡¯t think much of it when he said it, but Angelica didn¡¯t know it. Su Ping¡¯s remarks delighted Angelica. She couldn¡¯t help but wonder if Su Ping had said that on purpose. Afterward, Angelica and Su Ping talked about the beta test. When it was morning, the two finally ended their conversation. At this moment, when everyone was getting ready to go to bed¡­ An update on Angelica¡¯s social media account made countless people lose their composure and shout. ¡°The beta test will start in three days!¡± Chapter 250 - 250 The Beta Test Officially Starts Now! 250 The Beta Test Officially Starts Now! It was a short sentence, but it touched the hearts of countless people. Those who had obtained the slots to participate in the beta were naturally very excited. Even those who didn¡¯t obtain the slots were also extremely excited at the thought of being able to see the game. Although most people in the world couldn¡¯t participate in the beta test to play the game, they felt it was still important to watch the game¡¯s contents and whether it was interesting! After all, back then, before Su Ping¡¯s new games were officially released, he would sometimes ask Angelica to try them out and promote them. At that time, no one could play the game, but they all watched it with great interest. Although it was already late at night, countless people widened their eyes when they saw the latest update. All the fatigue on their bodies was swept away. Everyone was expressing their joy and discussing the new game in the comments section of the social media platform. [The beta is finally about to begin. I can¡¯t wait to see what the game looks like! I wonder why it took Su Ping more than a month to make it!] [More than a month? I don¡¯t think so. If we include the three-week beta test, the game production has reached a terrifying two months!] [That¡¯s right! Su Ping¡¯s previous games would be released in less than half a month. The new game is equal to four of his previous games. I can¡¯t imagine how high the game quality will be!] [No matter what the game looks like, I believe that Su Ping¡¯s game won¡¯t disappoint us!] [Finally, I can meet this mysterious new game. The game will definitely be fun. I¡¯m looking forward it to being officially released!] [Haha! I¡¯ve obtained a slot to participate in the beta test! Brothers, wait for me to come back in three days to report the situation!] Angelica¡¯s post quickly gained ten thousand comments within a few minutes, and the number was still rising rapidly. The number of comments under Angelica¡¯s post quickly broke through five digits within a few minutes, and it was still rising rapidly. Although it was already very late and some people might have already gone to bed¡­ However, their people¡¯s friends, the group friends that these people made online, would also wake them up from bed by phone and share the news with them. As a result, more and more people had insomnia that night. Even players who lived in the other hemisphere might be distracted at work and get scolded by their bosses. However, compared to the surprise and joy that everyone was receiving, this small matter was nothing at all. Angelica went straight to sleep after posting it. As the person closest to Su Ping, the matter wouldn¡¯t affect her mood and her normal pace of life. Of course, when Angelica turned on her phone the next morning and opened social media to check the situation, she was still shocked. The number of likes exceeded a million, and the number of comments reached more than 100000. It meant that after every six or seven people read the post, they would post a comment! It was a very terrifying ratio. Compared to many people who bought fake reviewers and traffic, their posts might have millions of likes, but the number of comments was often only a few thousand or even less than ten thousand! The comments and likes that Angelica received were quite scary. For the entire day, the most discussed topic among the players around the world was Ready Player One¡¯s beta test. Everyone wanted to know what the beta test server looked like and whether the game would live up to their expectations. Of course, based on Su Ping¡¯s past performance, most of them trusted him. The last three days of waiting had become extremely long, but fortunately, that day had finally arrived. Ready Player One was about to meet players from all over the world. Although it was just a beta test, millions of people were waiting in Angelica¡¯s live stream room before the server was opened. There were too few slots for the test, and it wasn¡¯t worth mentioning compared to the total number of players who wanted to obtain the slots. Therefore, most of the players could only join Angelica¡¯s live stream room to see the true appearance of Ready Player One in advance. At 6 p.m., Angelica started her live stream an hour earlier than usual. ¡°Hello everyone, welcome to my live stream room today. I¡¯m sure everyone knows what day it is today!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The beta test for Ready Player One will officially begin in half an hour. ¡± ¡°I hope everyone can wait for a while. I need to make some final adjustments to my equipment before entering Ready Player One¡¯s server to wait. Once the server is up, we will start the game immediately!¡± ¡°Also, I¡¯ve collected a lot of private messages from the viewers. Everyone hopes that I can live stream with Su Ping when the beta test starts, right?¡± ¡°I value your opinion very much, so I¡¯m willing to fulfill your request. Therefore, Su Ping will be joining us for today¡¯s live stream! ¡± After listening to Angelica¡¯s last words, many live stream room viewers became confused. Was Angelica going to do a live stream with Su Ping? However, where was Su Ping? Many viewers kept looking at the space behind Angelica. They were all familiar with the background of the room. There was no one else there and they couldn¡¯t find Su Ping either. Hence, many viewers were puzzled. They all thought, ¡°What is going on?¡± [Host, we didn¡¯t see Su Ping. Where did you hide him?] [Did Su Ping hide under the bed?] [Where is Su Ping? If he doesn¡¯t show up, I¡¯m going to report!] [Host, hurry up and explain to us what¡¯s going on!] Angelica didn¡¯t explain when the viewers asked the question in the comments. She just smiled and said with a mysterious smile. ¡°Anyway, don¡¯t worry. Su Ping will show up today!¡± As time gradually passed, the beta test finally started! Seeing that the time on the bottom right corner of the screen had changed to 6:30 p.m., countless people¡¯s hearts almost stopped beating at this moment. At this moment, the dark space in front of Angelica suddenly lit up. Afterward, there was a cool transmigration effect. It was as if Angelica was in a wormhole and undergoing interstellar transmigration. Suddenly, Angelica¡¯s eyes lit up. She seemed to have come to a place similar to a space station. Many other people were as confused as her. Obviously, they were all players who participated in the beta test. Ready Player One officially starts now! Chapter 251 - 251 The Mysterious Space Station 251 The Mysterious Space Station Even when the game was loading, everyone in the live stream room held their breath nervously and focused all their attention on the screen in front of them. As the center of attention, Angelica could feel her heart beating fast. For some reason, Angelica had never felt as excited as she was today. Maybe it was because Angelica had played some parts of Ready Player One at Su Ping¡¯s place before, so she had a certain understanding of the game. Therefore, she had a much higher expectation for the game than most passersby. The game officially started. Angelica was very familiar with the place. When she visited Su Ping¡¯s house, she would come to this place every time she entered the game. The space station seemed to be in low-Earth orbit, and the Earth was slowly rotating above them. The blue planet made every viewer in the live stream room felt relaxed and happy. It was as if they were standing on the space station and enjoying the beauty of the blue planet. What shocked the viewers was that the space station looked extremely large. It even looked like a city made of steel. Under the sunlight, the ground reflected the sunlight as if it were glowing everywhere. However, the viewers were puzzled that although the space station was under the sun, Angelica didn¡¯t get sunburned. After all, the distance between the Earth and the sun is relatively short. As a result, the object¡¯s surface temperature could reach 100 degrees if it were exposed to space directly and then directly illuminated by the sun. At this moment, Angelica hadn¡¯t started playing any games. She had just appeared in the space station in the game, but the series of details here had already made many viewers excited. [Wow, this space station is so realistic! I wonder if Su Ping designed this space station carefully. Maybe he can build it in real life!] [This space station feels so magical. Not only can people live normally inside, but the sunlight seems to be filtered by something!] [Speaking of which, what era is this game set in? With such a technology, how powerful would humans be? It will take at least a few decades before it can be realized, right?] [Decades? I don¡¯t think it will develop to this extent after a century!] [No wonder Su Ping said that he wanted to make a new game to break through his limits. Surprisingly, he changed the location of the new game from the ground to the universe. Haha! This is indeed a breakthrough!] [It¡¯s worth it to be called Su Ping¡¯s game. Although Angelica didn¡¯t do anything in the game, I¡¯m already interested in it. I can¡¯t wait to play it!] [Host, go ahead! I believe that there must be something interesting on the space station!] Angelica naturally saw the viewers¡¯ urge in the comment section, so she smiled and said. ¡°Alright, alright. Everyone, don¡¯t be too anxious. I know that you¡¯re very anxious to let me play the game as soon as possible.¡± ¡°But all of this needs some time, right?¡± ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s best if you can prepare in advance to prevent anything that will surprise you too much. Be careful of your little hearts!¡± After Angelica finished her words, the number of comments suddenly increased. Of course, the viewers in Angelica¡¯s live stream room thought they had high talent and rich experience in games, so they just treated her words as a joke. Angelica then turned her attention back to the game. She came to the port of the space station with ease. Perhaps it was because the game hadn¡¯t officially been released yet, so there were very few players in the space station. Only those who were also qualified to participate in the game could enter the game. The space station seemed to be the starting point for everyone. After all, Su Ping had created a large-scale online game. Therefore, all the free humans in the game were real people, not NPCs. The fact that the majority of the beta testers hadn¡¯t yet installed Ready Player One was a significant contributing factor to the low player count. Since Angelica had gotten Su Ping¡¯s installation package in advance, she had already installed the game on her computer. When the game server was officially opened, she would just have to start the game. Ordinary players would need to go to the official website of the beta test through the link, download the installation package, and then play the game after the installation. The size of the game was also extremely shocking. Some older computers might not be able to store so many game files. It was also why Su Ping had asked the players how much storage capacity they had when they were screened for the beta test. Those with less capacity would naturally be eliminated from the candidate list. Of course, there would naturally be some people who thought they were smart enough to deliberately fill in the wrong information to obtain a spot. However, it was useless for them to get the spots. Su Ping had already made preparations. If there were still people who couldn¡¯t enter the game at that time, then the system would directly take back their spots, tacitly giving up their spots. Afterward, Su Ping would select enough people from the waiting list to make up for the 100000 beta testers. After all, if there were only a few beta testers, the game would seem empty, and it would naturally affect everyone¡¯s gaming experience. After all, it was an online game. Therefore, the number of people in the game was a very important factor. Although there weren¡¯t many concurrent viewers now, as long as the remaining players had obtained the slot and entered the game, the number of players would naturally be enough. Su Ping didn¡¯t make all of the game¡¯s content available because it was only a beta test. He only released about half of the game. It was also to make the players more concentrated on the game so that there wouldn¡¯t be insufficient people to start playing games that required online cooperation. Soon, Angelica boarded the spaceship at the spaceport and began to land on the planet¡¯s surface. Everyone thought that the planet was Earth. Chapter 252 - 252 The Ocean Planet 252 The Ocean Planet As the spaceship broke through the clouds and descended rapidly, the players were shocked when they saw the scene on the ground. It was because they didn¡¯t see the familiar Earth landscape on the ground. It was an ocean planet! There was a vast ocean everywhere, and only a few pieces of land protruding above the sea could be seen. The area of these continents was also very small, not enough for humans to develop themselves on them. Seeing the scene, many live stream room viewers began to discuss. Everyone was guessing the situation on the planet and which planet it was. Many viewers had doubts and thought, ¡°Could it be that the game¡¯s background location isn¡¯t on Earth?¡± [What¡¯s going on? It turns out that it¡¯s not Earth. I thought Angelica appeared in the space station on the surface of the Earth, so where is this place?] [Initially, we thought that Su Ping had designed the game¡¯s background in space. It seems that our imagination was lacking. He set the location of the game on an alien planet!] [Haha! I¡¯m even more interested in the game now. I¡¯m looking forward to what might happen on the surface of this planet!] [So, Su Ping has set the game¡¯s map as an entire galaxy? So how many players can this game accommodate in the end?] [I feel that 100000 slots for the beta test this time are far from enough! It shouldn¡¯t be a problem even if there are a million concurrent players!] Angelica naturally saw the comments, but she didn¡¯t have any intention of responding. It was because all of this was a surprise for the viewers to understand in the future. Angelica hoped that the viewers could discover the interesting points themselves. Angelica believed that if she had revealed all the secrets in the game right from the start, it would naturally greatly reduce the sense of surprise. Since Angelica was in a highly automated spaceship, even if there was only one person on the spaceship, she could use a very simple command to drive the spaceship. Angelica only needed to tell the artificial intelligence on the spaceship where she wanted to go, and the artificial intelligence would automatically help Angelica plan the route and land steadily. Soon, the spaceship landed on a land platform in the ocean. According to the information carried out by its system, Angelica quickly understood the specific situation of the ocean planet. The live stream room viewers naturally saw the various data displayed on the screen. [99% of this planet is covered by oceans!] [What does this planet exactly have? Why did Angelica land here?] Although Angelica had turned on the in-game screen-sharing mode during the live stream, there were still some of her account¡¯s data that the live stream room viewers couldn¡¯t see. After all, it was an online game, and the game had its economic system. In the future, there would be a lot of data that involved players¡¯ privacy. That was why Su Ping had thought about the information that couldn¡¯t be disclosed to others when he made the game. It was especially true for the privacy issues that might arise during the live stream. Seeing the questions from the viewers, Angelica smiled and said. ¡°The reason why I landed on this planet is that there is a city on this planet. Through this city, players can participate in a sea racing game, similar to surfing.¡± ¡°Through this game, you can obtain various rewards such as game coins, and you can also obtain player experience to level up.¡± ¡°Since the spawn point is so close to this planet, let¡¯s go up and take a look first. This game has an extremely large open world. It¡¯s impossible to experience all the content in it in a short time.¡± ¡°So, why don¡¯t you calm down and experience it bit by bit?¡± After Angelica¡¯s explanation, many players finally understood her plan. When everyone heard that there was a city on this planet, many people were shocked in front of the screen. After all, according to the data, 99% of this planet was the ocean. So how should someone build a city here? Angelica walked out of the spaceship. There was a cool sea breeze outside, and the salty smell of the sea was especially strong on this planet. How did this place look like a city? But soon, a huge shadow appeared under the sea in front of Angelica, and the shadow became clearer. Soon, the shadow appeared on the surface and revealed its true appearance in front of everyone. It looked like a submarine. Obviously, the submarine was here to help Angelica enter the sea. At this moment, many smart players finally realized that the city on this planet should be located at the bottom of the sea! Building a city on the seabed was naturally impossible with current human technology. [No wonder there are cities on this planet. It turns out that it¡¯s built in the underwater world!] [So is this game a completely fictional world?] [Speaking of which, why isn¡¯t there even a beginner guide in this game? I¡¯m still a little confused. I don¡¯t even know what¡¯s going on with this game!] [Me too! Although the game has high quality, I¡¯m still confused by the situation.] [It doesn¡¯t matter. We¡¯re still testing the server anyway. It¡¯s supposed to let the players experience the game and find out the problems. If everyone reflects on the problems in the live stream room, maybe the flaws can all be fixed when it¡¯s officially released!] [That¡¯s right! Since it¡¯s a beta test, we should be more tolerant. Su Ping has been working on this game for more than a month. It¡¯s not easy for him to make everything perfect.] Since Su Ping had a good reputation in the gaming community, the players and fans were more tolerant of him. Angelica entered the submarine at the seaside, and then the submarine began to go to the bottom of the sea. The water was so deep that she couldn¡¯t see what the bottom looked like. However, as the submarine got closer and closer to the bottom of the sea, the sharp-eyed viewers finally saw a huge transparent cover under Angelica¡¯s submarine. The shield was extremely huge, almost covering the entire seabed. It was impossible to imagine how big the shield was and where it extended to. Moreover, a magnificent city stood in the deepest part of the ocean! The wasn¡¯t an ordinary underwater city. It was simply the legendary Atlantis! Chapter 253 - 253 Atlantis 253 Atlantis [Oh my goodness! I hope that such a city exists in reality. It¡¯s simply too spectacular!] [Initially, I thought that technology in this game could be realized in the real world in a few decades, but now I realize that I was too naive. The technological gap is too big!] [It¡¯s probably a completely fictional world, right? Even if I see it with a normal worldview, everything in this world will take at least hundreds of years to come true!] [I have to say, Su Ping has given me enough surprises. Based on what I¡¯ve seen in the game, I think Su Ping is about to achieve his goal!] [That¡¯s right. Let¡¯s not talk about how fun the game is. Just the scene of the game is enough to shock people.] As the viewers saw the underwater city, countless people were shocked by the spectacular scenery. The submarine quickly arrived at an entrance on the side of the dome. Then, the door opened, and the submarine entered the drainage room. Angelica walked out of the submarine and successfully entered the underwater city. Angelica had never been to this city before. After all, Su Ping only provided her with many independent dungeons. Since it was the game¡¯s official beta testing, Su Ping combined all the dungeons so that people could experience them at will. Therefore, Angelica was curious about everything here. Soon, Angelica couldn¡¯t wait to walk out of the port and see the city. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, do you know how I feel right now? I really can¡¯t imagine that this is the bottom of the sea!¡± ¡°This is clearly a city that exists on the surface. It¡¯s simply a miracle of civilization!¡± ¡°Now, I want to say that the people on this planet have conquered the entire planet and the entire ocean!¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going to take a look at the city¡¯s scenery first. Then, we¡¯ll go find a game point to play the game and earn game coins and character experience!¡± ¡°Oh, right! Since this game doesn¡¯t have any novice guides or hints, there¡¯s something I want to tell every player who wants to play this game.¡± ¡°In this game, once the player dies, all the game resources that the player has obtained before.¡± ¡°Including the experience required for the character¡¯s level growth and even all the game coins and equipment obtained by the character will be cleared!¡± ¡°Therefore, when the game is officially released in the future, everyone must be careful. Don¡¯t expose yourself to danger and lose your life in the game!¡± ¡°Although we can avoid losing equipment by transferring it to our friends in advance, once the character experience is cleared, we have to start all over again!¡± ¡°Character experience will affect our character level, and it will affect a part of the character¡¯s attributes.¡± ¡°If the attributes are high, it will be easier to obtain a higher score in the battle and game.¡± ¡°Therefore, everyone must remember that the most important thing in this game is to stay alive!¡± ¡°Moreover, it¡¯s best to play this game with your friends. In this way, when one of you needs to take risks, the other person can take care of some of your items to avoid losses.¡± After all, Angelica had played the game before. Coupled with her relationship with Su Ping, she was the one who knew the best about Ready Player One in the world. After listening to Angelica¡¯s words, many live stream room viewers were quite surprised. After all, once a character died, their experience would be reset to zero. They would even lose the equipment they carried. Such a punishment was a little too harsh. After all, although there were still some online games that would make the players lose their equipment when their character died, there were almost no online games that would cause a loss of their character level. [No way, the death penalty in this game is so severe? Then wouldn¡¯t we have to worry about dying in battle while playing the game? Wouldn¡¯t it makes us a little timid while playing games?] [The setting is quite reasonable. Although we will lose experience, as long as we play with our friends, we won¡¯t lose anything. We should be able to make up for the loss if we play more.] [My liver is starting to hurt. I feel like I¡¯ll be addicted to the game for at least ten hours a day after it¡¯s officially released, except for sleeping time!] [Haha! I love the kind of game that encourages me to play for the whole night. I hope the content of the game won¡¯t disappoint!] [I think the punishment is a little too harsh, but I can understand why Su Ping did it. The world he created is so big. It seems that he wants to give us a life that only exists in the virtual world!] [This explanation seems to be the most reasonable. So that¡¯s how it is!] Although many live stream room viewers were still complaining about the harsh death penalty in the game, most people could still understand the setting. Those who had played many of Su Ping¡¯s games and knew more about them could tell Su Ping¡¯s true purpose. Of course, all of this would have to wait until the game was officially released. Only after more players entered the game could they make a judgment. Currently, only a small number of beta testers can enter the game. Most players still can¡¯t experience the charm and specific details of the game. Afterward, Angelica began to stroll around the city. There were all kinds of NPCs everywhere, and the races of these NPCs weren¡¯t only humans. Su Ping seemed to have added a lot of strange things to the character library of the game. For example, Angelica saw a familiar figure just now. The NPC looked like a creature from an anime. Angelica also saw a blue-skinned man appear at the door of a building. Except for his blue skin, he was almost identical to a human, except that his ears seemed to be sharper. Of course, most of the NPCs were still in human form. [I seriously suspect that this planet isn¡¯t the only world in this game!] [Since there are so many races¡­ Could it be that the game¡¯s world setting is that humans have unified the entire universe? Then how big is this game?!] [Damn it, why is it only the beta test? Why can¡¯t I get the qualifications to participate in it? My hands are starting to itch!] [Hurry up and release the game! I can¡¯t wait any longer!] Chapter 254 - 254 Slacking Off? 254 Slacking Off? At this moment, many live stream room viewers were sending comments urging Su Ping to officially release the game as soon as possible. Although they weren¡¯t sure whether Su Ping could see their comments, it didn¡¯t stop them from expressing their thoughts. There would be problems if they kept their thoughts in their hearts. Meanwhile, Angelica suddenly entered a building next to her, which seemed to be a restaurant. Elegant and peaceful music was playing in the restaurant, allowing people to quickly get rid of their fatigue as soon as they entered and their spirits to be comforted. It was obvious that it was a high-end restaurant. Other than NPCs, there were also many robot waiters. They could even self-serve in ordering food here. Angelica quickly found a seat by the window, from which she could see the whole city. However, what puzzled the viewers was that Angelica didn¡¯t order anything at this time. Instead, she sat there and looked at the scenery outside the window in a daze. Many people thought that Angelica was addicted to the scenery outside. Soon, a strange figure suddenly sat opposite Angelica. It seemed to be a beta tester. Meanwhile, the viewers started to comment in the comment section. [Haha! Angelica, you¡¯ve been recognized by someone else. This person probably wants to take a photo with you!] [Why am I not a beta tester? I also want to have a candlelight dinner with Angelica in the game!] [I¡¯m feeling the situation weird¡­ Why do I feel that the guy opposite Angelica looks familiar? It¡¯s as if I¡¯ve seen him somewhere before!] [I feel the same way too! The way that guy looks at Angelica isn¡¯t a way a fan will do. Is he Angelica¡¯s friend?] [If he is Angelica¡¯s friend, everything can be explained. Could it be that he got a slot to participate in the beta test from Su Ping through his relationship with Angelica?!] [I wish I had a friend like Angelica. That way, I can play Su Ping¡¯s games for free forever!] Just as the live stream room viewers were discussing the identity of the man sitting opposite Angelica in the comment section, the man sitting opposite her suddenly smiled, waved at her, and said. ¡°Hello, everyone. It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you all. It¡¯s been a long time.¡± It was obvious that the man knew Angelica was live streaming, so he was talking to all the live stream room viewers. The moment the man said it, many viewers were confused. They had no idea what the man was talking about. They all thought, ¡°What do you mean by ¡®long time no see¡¯?¡± ¡°When did I meet him?¡± At this moment, some quick-witted viewers with more active thoughts seemed to have thought of an unlikely situation! If that were the case, it would be a little too ridiculous. [Could it be¡­ From the way the guy talks, why do I feel like he¡¯s Su Ping?!] [What?! Shouldn¡¯t the game still be in production? How did Su Ping have the time to have dinner with Angelica in the game?] [The man seems to be Su Ping. Otherwise, why would he tell us that it¡¯s been a long time? After all, the last time he appeared in the live stream room was more than a month ago.] [Damn! It¡¯s Su Ping! He is the only person who will say something like that to Angelica. Su Ping, hurry up and finish the game! Release the game as soon as possible! Stop playing games and go back to work!] [Hurry up and officially release the game!] Finally, many viewers recognized Su Ping¡¯s identity. They were all surprised and urged him to finish the game¡¯s production. Before the beta test, many players were already looking forward to Ready Player One. Now that Angelica had shown everyone the tip of the iceberg of the game, the game¡¯s appeal to players naturally became stronger. Everyone couldn¡¯t wait to play the unprecedented game. Obviously, Su Ping was playing the game and watching Angelica¡¯s live stream. Therefore, he could see the comments. Meanwhile, Angelica smiled and said, ¡°Everyone is urging you to go back to work on the game. What do you think?¡± After Su Ping heard it, he smiled. ¡°Haha! I¡¯m afraid that everyone will be a little disappointed because the main development of the game has basically been completed.¡± ¡°I know that there must be a lot of people thinking, ¡®Since you¡¯ve finished the game¡¯s production, why don¡¯t you hurry up and officially release the game?¡¯. Am I right?¡± Su Ping predicted all the actions of the viewers perfectly. Many live stream room viewers couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Afterward, Su Ping answered. ¡°Here¡¯s the situation. Although the game¡¯s production has been completed, there are still many details that need to be dealt with.¡± ¡°For example, the difficulty of each dungeon in the game, as well as the rewards that can be obtained at different difficulty levels. Only by balancing all these aspects can I provide everyone with the best gaming experience.¡± ¡°Besides, this game has an internal economic system. Everyone, I don¡¯t think you want to see all kinds of bugs appearing after the game is officially released, which will lead to unfair situations for you, right?¡± ¡°Besides, this game is extremely popular right now, and the production cycle of the game is quite short. If I release it now, it will be difficult to meet the server¡¯s demand.¡± ¡°Therefore, this period is also a chance for the game development company to build a dedicated server. I hope that everyone won¡¯t be too anxious. Of course, I also hope that everyone can play the game as soon as possible.¡± ¡°However, the more important thing than the speed of releasing the game is the game quality and your gaming experience.¡± ¡°During this period, I will probably play the game with Angelica. We will all be the beta testers of the game. I hope everyone will like it.¡± After Su Ping said it, the live stream room viewers finally understood his intention. They also understood why Su Ping didn¡¯t immediately release the game even though he had completed making it. [Alright, I see. In that case, I¡¯ll reluctantly forgive you this time!] [Hmph! I hope you won¡¯t delay the game¡¯s official release. Otherwise, I¡¯ll give a bad review when the game is officially released!] [Although I¡¯m not happy that the game isn¡¯t officially released yet, since it¡¯s for the game¡¯s quality, it¡¯s understandable!] [I support Su Ping¡¯s decision. If the game¡¯s quality is not up to standard, I would rather it still be in production. We must strive for perfection. Su Ping, don¡¯t ruin your reputation because of a moment of impatience!] Chapter 255 - 255 The Tricky Question 255 The Tricky Question Su Ping suddenly appeared in the game and met Angelica. It was a scene that had never happened before. Therefore, many live stream room viewers found it interesting. After all, even if Su Ping and Angelica were to do a live stream together, it would always be Su Ping who came to Angelica¡¯s house to do the live stream. They had never met in a virtual reality game like this before, and they even formally introduced the progress and problems of the game¡¯s production to the players. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the players started to give their opinions to Su Ping. [Su Ping, your game is so complicated, but why isn¡¯t there a guide for beginners? I¡¯ve been watching the live stream for a long time, but I still don¡¯t understand what¡¯s going on with the game!] [Su Ping, Su Ping, didn¡¯t you say you added an economic system to the game? Then what will the economic system look like, and what kind of currency will it use?] [Angelica, can you ask Su Ping if any dungeons in this game are similar to those single-player games? Or it¡¯s included in the main missions?] [That¡¯s right! The game suddenly changed from a story-standalone game to an open-world mode with a high degree of freedom. I might not be used to it. It will be much more interesting if there is a story!] The comments were all asking Su Ping questions. Angelica and Su Ping had noticed the situation. Su Ping was very similar to Angelica in this aspect. Angelica smiled and replied after seeing the comments. ¡°Su Ping, it seems that everyone is very interested in the new game, Ready Player One. They are also very concerned about the game¡¯s details.¡± ¡°Then can you tell everyone if there is a plot similar to the previous single-player games? I think it¡¯s quite an interesting question.¡± ¡°After all, through a plot, players can quickly and comprehensively understand the background of the game and the structure of the world, and thus quickly enter the state.¡± ¡°So is there such an arrangement in this game? You never told me about this before.¡± Su Ping smiled but didn¡¯t answer immediately. He took a bite of the delicious food on the table and then spoke slowly. ¡°Of course, there¡¯s a plot!¡± Su Ping¡¯s words made countless people¡¯s eyes light up. They couldn¡¯t help but feel excited. Su Ping had always been able to create the perfect plot for the game. There had never been any problems with his plot. The quality of Su Ping¡¯s games was one of the most important reasons why they were a hit every time. However, there was another important point, and that was that the game¡¯s plot was attractive. It could make players completely immersed in the game as soon as they started playing. There were even cases where players didn¡¯t sleep for an entire day and night because they were experiencing the storyline. Many people might want to play games at night to relax, but as a result, they played from night to dawn and then from dawn to sunset. Once the players were immersed in Su Ping¡¯s game, they would forget the passage of time and be completely immersed in it. Now that Su Ping had confirmed that Ready Player One had a similar storyline as before, the players and fans were excited. Everyone immediately began to discuss the matter. [I knew Su Ping¡¯s games would have a story. He never lets us down!] [Haha! That¡¯s great! If Ready Player One didn¡¯t have a plot, I would feel that something was missing. Now, the familiar feeling has finally returned.] [I hope the story of Su Ping¡¯s new game will be better than before. I believe Su Ping can do it!] [What will the plot of this game be like? Since it¡¯s in open-world mode, will the story of every player be different?] Su Ping smiled when he saw that many players started discussing through the comments. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everyone. Although there will be some subtle differences in the story that everyone can experience, the overall situation is still the same.¡± ¡°Moreover, the plot can be considered a challenge. Once the plot is completely cleared, players can obtain an exclusive title in the game, as well as a large amount of experience and game coins!¡± ¡°Moreover, the story of this game is considered the most perfect story I¡¯ve ever seen since I became a game producer. I believe that everyone will be able to enjoy the most extreme happiness in the story!¡± ¡°Of course, to prevent spoiling the story, the game¡¯s plot won¡¯t be available during the beta test. We will only see it after the game is officially released.¡± ¡°On the other hand, the beta test will take a long time. If I release the game¡¯s story now, it might cause people to lose interest in the game when it¡¯s officially released.¡± Angelica, who was sitting next to Su Ping, suddenly smiled with interest. Then she asked Su Ping. ¡°The plot of this game can only be experienced after the game is officially released, right? Does that mean I can only wait until the game is officially released?¡± As soon as Angelica said it, the viewers immediately noticed that the atmosphere at the dining table had changed. [Haha! Angelica is a little upset. She used to be able to play the game in advance.] [What a tricky question! It¡¯s a question of whether Su Ping will side with Angelica or us ordinary players!] [Su Ping, hurry up and answer. Don¡¯t let Angelica and I wait too long!] [Alright, everyone, please vote on your opinion. Will Su Ping give Angelica special privileges or take care of us ordinary players?] [I choose Su Ping to give Angelica special privileges. This guy is a man who forgets his friends when he sees women. How could he take the risk of making Angelica unhappy and choose to take care of ordinary players?] [Why are you guys losing trust in Su Ping? I believe Su Ping will side with us, ordinary players!] [Haha! You¡¯re Su Ping¡¯s hardcore fan. Don¡¯t worry! Su Ping will disappoint you!] Chapter 256 - 256 Bad Image 256 Bad Image At this moment, the live stream room viewers were all guessing what kind of option Su Ping would make. Su Ping felt helpless when he saw the barrage of comments. Su Ping shrugged and said helplessly. ¡°I have so many fans, but why don¡¯t you guys believe me at all? Is my image in your hearts that bad?¡± As soon as Su Ping said it, the comments were filled with various affirmative answers. Su Ping was speechless. ¡°Alright, it seems like it¡¯s time to correct my image in your hearts.¡± ¡°Now, I announce that even Angelica can only experience the game plot after the game is officially released to the public. Are you guys happy with it?¡± As soon as Su Ping finished his sentence, he saw Angelica raising her eyebrows. He then smiled and said. ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong. I¡¯m doing this mainly because this plot is a very important part of the game. If you want to experience it, you can come to my house. Just don¡¯t play it during your live stream.¡± If Su Ping had said it to Angelica in private, there would have been no problem. However, the most important thing was that Angelica was still live streaming, and the guys watching the live stream were usually the ones who blurted out all kinds of dirty jokes. Many people started laughing in front of their screens. Someone immediately started commenting. [Eh? Su Ping, what do you mean by that? You invited Angelica to your house. You must have bad intentions!] [Angelica, you mustn¡¯t go over there. Su Ping, a hypocritical man, will definitely do those weird things to you!] [Angelica, don¡¯t believe what Su Ping said. Men are good liars!] [Su Ping is definitely an experienced playboy. He can fool girls without blushing and looks like he isn¡¯t affected at all!] [Su Ping is definitely up to no good. He has always been a quiet guy. Angelica, don¡¯t be careless. Otherwise, you¡¯ll regret it later!] Su Ping was annoyed by the comments when he saw the viewers ridiculing him and asking Angelica to be careful of him. Angelica couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth and laugh. ¡°Haha! Su Ping, it seems that your image in everyone¡¯s mind is bad!¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s forget about this matter. I¡¯ll experience the game¡¯s plot after the game is officially released.¡± ¡°Everyone seems to be making sense!¡± Su Ping didn¡¯t expect that Angelica would take the opportunity to tease him. He was even more annoyed and couldn¡¯t help but complain. ¡°Hey, I¡¯ve made so many entertaining games for you guys, and I¡¯ve always been an absolute gentleman. How can you guys look at me like that?!¡± ¡°Angelica, why are you speaking up for the viewers?!¡± ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m really disappointed. I¡¯m really upset this time. You guys are upsetting me!¡± Su Ping put on a sad face after he said that. Meanwhile, the live stream was filled with laughter and joy. Soon, Su Ping and Angelica finish their delicious meal in the high-class restaurant of the underwater city. The feeling of eating in such a virtual reality was actually strange. After all, the players knew that their bodies, in reality, didn¡¯t eat anything. However, when the food entered their mouths, the taste and the feeling of chewing were so real. Perhaps it was the scariest thing about virtual reality technology. It could allow everyone to have a different life. It could allow a person to become the lord of a planet in the virtual world or even the ruler of the universe. It could also allow people to travel through different historical periods. They could become an emperor, an ordinary person, or a superhero to kill those evil enemies and gain worldwide fame. Su Ping said faintly after dinner. ¡°Other than the main project that can earn game coins, this underwater city is also responsible for sightseeing.¡± ¡°Moreover, there is only one such ocean planet in the entire Ready Player One server, so this place can satisfy almost everyone¡¯s imagination of the ocean.¡± ¡°However, it¡¯s best to wait until the game is officially released before slowly trying it out. Now, let¡¯s go find that game and try it out.¡± ¡°Actually, even I haven¡¯t personally experienced the game I designed.¡± Su Ping faintly told Angelica it, and his suggestion was immediately approved by Angelica. Angelica nodded gently. ¡°Then let¡¯s set off. I¡¯m also quite curious about what kinds of games are waiting for us on such an ocean planet.¡± ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, please wait patiently for a while. Transportation on this oceanic planet is very convenient and developed. We will reach our destination soon!¡± Su Ping paid the NPC in the game for the meal and left the restaurant with Angelica. At this moment, the live stream room viewers discovered something impressive. [No way, we have to pay with game coins to eat in this game? Doesn¡¯t that mean that if we don¡¯t have game coins here, we can¡¯t do anything?] [No wonder Su Ping said he would introduce an economic system into the game. This is a completely realistic world!] [I¡¯m very curious. Other than eating, what other things will use game coins?] [It¡¯s obvious that you don¡¯t play online games much. Eating should only be a form of enjoyment. I don¡¯t think there will be many facilities that require many game coins. I guess the main reason for this game to have game coins is probably the equipment system!] [That¡¯s right! There must be a combat system in this game. Otherwise, there would be no need for players to level up, and there would be no accidents that would lead to death.] [I see. It seems that after the game is officially released, I¡¯ll have to think about how to quickly earn game coins!] Meanwhile, Su Ping and Angelica boarded a shuttle to the game location. As they flew, Su Ping interacted with the viewers. For example, he explained the various uses of the game coins. Su Ping¡¯s answer made everyone realize that they had guessed correctly. The biggest use of game coins in this game was indeed to buy stronger equipment to arm oneself. This method of becoming stronger also gained the support of many players. Chapter 257 - 257 Fan Meeting 257 Fan Meeting Soon, Su Ping and Angelica arrived at the game¡¯s location. What Angelica didn¡¯t expect was that it was above the sea. Originally, Angelica thought that since it was an ocean planet, the games here might be carried out in the sea. Or perhaps it would be carried out in the underwater city. However, Angelica didn¡¯t expect to play the game above the sea. Angelica signed up quickly after they arrived at the game point. Naturally, Su Ping joined her. Meanwhile, more and more beta testers had begun to enter the game, and since everyone¡¯s starting point was the space station above the planet¡­ Therefore, for most players, the simplest choice was to take a spaceship from the space station to the planet below their feet to explore. After all, everyone had just entered the game and didn¡¯t know much about the content or settings. Therefore, it was the best choice for everyone to explore the nearest place. Hence, many people came to this planet, and naturally, some people discovered the existence of the game point. In fact, the game point was located in the beginner¡¯s guide manual. Through the guide, the player could quickly find out the locations to earn game coins. Some players who wanted to quickly earn game coins to buy equipment would naturally come here at the first moment. At this moment, many other players had also completed their registration for the game. Perhaps some players were watching the live stream while playing the game, so they quickly recognized Su Ping and Angelica. A girl with a pair of cat ears on her head suddenly appeared in front of Su Ping and Angelica. Then, the girl widened her eyes and said surprisingly. ¡°Wow! It¡¯s really Su Ping and Angelica. It¡¯s great to see you here. I was watching your live stream. I rushed here as soon as I saw you at this game point. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here!¡± Su Ping wasn¡¯t surprised. After all, it was an online game with strong social attributes. It was normal for someone to find him in the game. Perhaps in the future, many celebrities in real life might meet their fans in the game and have similar scenes and conversations. Su Ping smiled. ¡°It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you.¡± Angelica also greeted the fan, her attitude was friendly and approachable. As a result, the live stream room viewers immediately become jealous. The atmosphere in the entire live stream room was filled with jealousy. Naturally, they were jealous of the cat-eared female fan. [Wow! It turns out that beta testers have such benefits. I want to see Su Ping and Angelica in the game too!] [Aah! I can¡¯t take it anymore. Su Ping, when will the game be officially released? I can¡¯t wait to play it!] [It¡¯s not fair! It¡¯s so unfair! I want to talk to Su Ping face-to-face too!] Meanwhile, some players noticed the appearance of the female fan. After all, the appearance of the female fan looked like an anime character. [By the way, didn¡¯t you notice the appearance of this female fan? Why did she have a pair of cat ears on her head? Could it be that players can even change into different races in this game?] [That¡¯s right! Why does the female fan have a pair of cat ears? Could it be that every player can choose their appearance after entering the game?] [Other than having cat ears, do the players have any other options? If that¡¯s the case, the degree of freedom in this game is so high!] [She looks so cute. When the game is officially released, I want to design my appearance in this way too!] [Haha! I think I can already foresee that after the game¡¯s official release, there might be all kinds of anime and novel characters!] [Please don¡¯t make any weird characters in the game!] It was as if the viewers had discovered something new. They began to imagine the image they could have in the future. After all, it would be too boring if everyone in the game could only assume the image of a human. Now, everyone could transform into different races, and they could even turn some of their favorite virtual characters into their game characters. Naturally, it was very attractive to people. Some people even began to imagine that they could set up a monster image when the game started. It would be very scary. As a veteran game producer, Su Ping knew exactly what the players were thinking. Su Ping took a look at the comments and immediately said. ¡°I know some of the more mischievous players. They might have already started searching for some strange characters and parameters on the Internet.¡± ¡°However, I have to remind you that once your character is successfully created in the game, you can¡¯t change it anymore!¡± ¡°At most, you can change your body by tattooing, dyeing your hair, or installing prosthetics.¡± ¡°If someone wants to possess a monster¡¯s body in this game, or even become a monster, then you can only be a monster forever in this game!¡± ¡°At that time, there might even be players who attack you as if you were a monster in the game. There is only one way to change your character¡¯s image, and that is to cancel your account and re-register!¡± ¡°This is a kind reminder to everyone. Everyone, I hope that you won¡¯t go overboard when creating your game character! Don¡¯t wait until you regret it in the future and feel bad for your account assets!¡± Su Ping¡¯s words were like a bucket of cold water that had been poured on some players. However, such a reminder couldn¡¯t dispel the same thoughts in everyone¡¯s mind. There would definitely be some very stubborn guys who used strange images when creating their game characters. Of course, Su Ping wouldn¡¯t interfere too much in such matters. He was just a game producer. Su Ping had hoped that every gamer would have enough freedom to explore the game. Only in this way could everyone enjoy the real fun and experience the charm of the game. Moreover, if someone regretted it in the end, they could only cancel their account and bear the losses themselves. Chapter 258 - 258 A Thousand Meters Wave 258 A Thousand Meters Wave After a while, more and more people appeared at the game point. Not only the cat-eared female fan, but many others also recognized Su Ping and Angelica. After all, the situation where Angelica and Su Ping were doing a live stream together in the game never happened before. Therefore, the news had probably been spread to every corner of the internet by the fans who were watching the live stream. Moreover, every beta tester couldn¡¯t play the game silently. After all, being able to qualify for the beta test was like winning the lottery. Anyone who had obtained the beta test qualification would be eager to let the whole world know about the news. Therefore, every beta tester was the target of many people¡¯s attention in reality. As long as a beta tester appeared in a chat group, the person¡¯s status in the group would rise rapidly. If nothing unexpected happened, he would become a big shot in everyone¡¯s eyes. Therefore, these people would be reminded by their friends or netizens, and then they would naturally hurry to the game point, hoping to see Su Ping and Angelica in the game, or even communicate with them. It was something that no one would dare think about normally! They were Su Ping and Angelica! As the leader of the live-streaming industry, Angelica had a terrifying number of fans. Su Ping was one of the big shots in the gaming industry. His reputation was even more terrifying. Now that the two of them were together, it was rare to see them at the same time. [It¡¯s really Su Ping. Su Ping, I¡¯m your fan. Can I take a photo with you?] [Finally, I can see the real Su Ping and Angelica. Haha! It¡¯s so good to be qualified to participate in the beta test!] [Can I have your autograph? I¡¯ve liked you for a long time!] It was originally just an ordinary game spot, but it soon became a large-scale fan meeting. Although the number of beta testers was only a small proportion of the total number of players, there were still 100,000 of them. Although not everyone had entered the game, as more and more people heard the news and rushed over, the game point on the sea platform was already surrounded by people. Fortunately, the number of people who registered for the game was enough, and Su Ping and Angelica were able to get out of the crowd. Besides, Su Ping was the game¡¯s producer. He had a high level of authority in the game. He could even use all kinds of artifacts in the game at will. Of course, Su Ping wouldn¡¯t casually show his abilities to ordinary players. After all, it was an online game. If he did that, it might affect the balance of the game. It might even make some players unhappy. The game was finally about to officially begin. The countless live stream room viewers were also in high spirits, their gazes fixed on the screen in the live stream room. Soon, everyone who participated in the game was assigned a small platform on the sea. Standing on the platform, one¡¯s body would float up and down with the waves, which was a test of one¡¯s balance. Afterward, the platforms began to move, and finally, all the players who participated in the game lined up in a row. At this moment, everyone was very puzzled and confused. [Who knows what we are going to do in this game? Could it be that it wants us to race on the sea?] [I don¡¯t know. I didn¡¯t see the introduction when I registered for this game. Anyway, we¡¯ll know what¡¯s going on when the game starts.] [It¡¯s indeed a closed beta game. There are indeed many things that don¡¯t make sense!] [That¡¯s right! I hope the guides can be more human-friendly when the game is officially released. Otherwise, it¡¯s too unfriendly for some game novices.] Nobody knew what was going to happen next, but all of a sudden, everyone realized that their bodies seemed to be gradually rising. It was because they realized that the sea in front of them was getting farther and farther away. At this moment, someone suddenly turned around and was instantly shocked. Meanwhile, there was a huge wave behind them. Nobody knew how high it was. It might even be higher than the tallest mountain on Earth. From here, one could see the game point in the distance. The originally large game point had now become a small black dot. There were so many people moving on it that it was impossible to see clearly. Immediately after, the small platform under everyone¡¯s feet suddenly began to change in shape. The platforms were originally square, but they soon became long and narrow. At this point, even a fool would know what was going on with this game. [It looks like a surfing game!] [It¡¯s indeed a surfing game, but isn¡¯t the wave a little too big?] Many live stream room viewers were shocked when they saw the comment. If the massive wave behind the players appeared in the real world, it would be enough to destroy an entire continent. Even if the seawater were to fall directly from the sky, it might completely shatter the mountain range on the ground! [It¡¯s so scary. Does this game require people to surf on waves that are thousands of meters high? If we make a mistake, wouldn¡¯t we be dead?] [I finally know why Angelica reminded us to avoid the deaths of our characters. Why do I feel that death might even become common in this game?] [After watching today¡¯s live stream, I must find a friend in the game immediately. Then, as long as I want to participate in a competition or battle in the game, I can save my equipment in advance!] [It looks like the game is forcing players to find a companion to help each other in the game. However, it¡¯s a good thing. I can help some people who don¡¯t have friends to make friends here.] The game had officially started. The game was undoubtedly horrifying for those who were acrophobia. Some who registered for the game unfortunately failed. When the game started, they lost control of their skateboards and fell into the waves. Moreover, their somersaults couldn¡¯t stir up a small wave since the waves were so huge. The rest of the people focused on controlling the skateboards under their feet to move forward on the thousand-meter-high wave. Chapter 259 - 259 Being the First Place Again 259 Being the First Place Again The surfing game on the ocean planet was still going on, although Angelica and Su Ping had never experienced or learned surfing in real life. However, it didn¡¯t prevent them from experiencing the thrill of surfing in the game. It was as if surfing had become an instinct in their minds. The other players present were in the same situation. Everyone had already focused their attention on the sport. Moreover, the feeling of surfing was difficult to experience in reality. After all, such a thousand-meter-high wave wouldn¡¯t exist in reality. Perhaps such a wave would have appeared in the ancient times of Earth, but now it is completely unrealistic. [Wow! It must be awesome to surf, right? Surfing at a height of a few thousand meters, I don¡¯t even dare think about it!] [I agree. Su Ping is creative in the surfing game. Who would have thought that a wave on this ocean planet would be thousands of meters high?] [Now I finally understand why there is no land on this planet. Even if there are underwater volcanoes to build up the land, I¡¯m afraid a wave will slap the land back into the sea.] [It¡¯s hard to imagine how terrified the creatures living on this planet would be if there were living on the land.] [Haha! At that time, peoples¡¯ decades of hard work will immediately return to their original state with just a wave.] [When is the game going to be officially released? I can¡¯t wait to experience the feeling of surfing on such a huge wave!] At this moment, countless live stream room viewers yearned for it. After all, it was a thousand-meter-tall wave. Surfing in such a place was a rather satisfying experience. Su Ping and Angelica were enjoying the game too. Although it was a game that Su Ping made himself, he had never experienced such a game before. Su Ping had only asked the system to restore the movie, Ready Player One. Unexpectedly, the system seemed to have misunderstood his words. The system recreated the game called ¡°OASIS¡± from the movie. After all, what was shown in the movie was just the tip of the iceberg of the OASIS. The place where Su Ping and Angelica were now was the real OASIS! It was the first time Su Ping had been so interested in a game he had created. After all, most of the games in the past were related to the original movie. Moreover, the game, Ready Player One, that Su Ping created this time was a perfect replica of the OASIS, which was a large-scale virtual reality game! The entire surfing process lasted for nearly ten minutes. When many players returned to the game platform from the waves, everyone felt surreal. Some people even had symptoms similar to motion sickness. But even so, every player was discussing it excitedly with their companions. As for those who had fallen due to acrophobia or carelessness at the beginning of the game, they felt quite regretful at this moment. Fortunately, Su Ping had set up emergency measures in the game. Even if the players fell from the sky, they all returned to the platform safely. Otherwise, it would be a little tragic if they were forced to restart the game shortly after they entered it. Soon, Su Ping and Angelica were surrounded by many players. The fans who didn¡¯t have time to interact with Su Ping and Angelica asked for a photo again. Su Ping didn¡¯t put on airs in front of his passionate fans. He was very approachable. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry, one by one. Angelica and I have a lot of time today.¡± ¡°However, I hope that everyone will pay more attention to the game. After all, Angelica and I also need to experience the game. ¡± ¡°I hope everyone can understand each other.¡± Meanwhile, the viewers in Angelica¡¯s live-stream room also expressed their envy in the comments. However, it was impossible to officially release the game ahead of time. Besides, Angelica couldn¡¯t persuade Su Ping to change his decision just because of that. Therefore, Angelica simply ignored such comments. As the game ended, it was soon time for the final countdown. It was the segment that everyone was most curious about and looking forward to. After all, according to what Su Ping said at the beginning, players should be able to obtain game coins and character experience points after completing the game. Through these items, players could purchase stronger equipment to arm themselves. The game had a combat system and some combat gameplay. Although surfing was fun, what players looked forward to the most was the combat gameplay in the game. Angelica looked forward and then reached out her hand. The holographic projection system directly showed Angelica¡¯s character panel as a beam of light hit the air. At this moment, Angelica¡¯s character level was the first level. Currently, every player¡¯s attributes are completely the same. Moreover, everyone was wearing the most ordinary clothes. These clothes wouldn¡¯t provide any attribute bonuses. However, if someone bought special clothes or some special weapons, they could also be displayed in the character panel. Soon, Angelica saw a prompt message next to her character panel. ¡°Congratulations on getting first place in the game just now. You have received 3000 experience points and 300 game coins!¡± However, a new message suddenly popped up after this one. ¡°Congratulations on successfully reaching Level 2. Please go to your personal panel to allocate attribute points!¡± Seeing the message, Angelica was stunned for a moment, and then she was surprised to find that her character level had become level 2. Meanwhile, many live stream room viewers suddenly realized that Angelica had won first place in the surfing game! Since everyone¡¯s attention was focused on the huge wave that was thousands of meters high, no one noticed who was the champion at all. Meanwhile, the viewers naturally began to praise Angelica¡¯s gaming talent. [As expected of Angelica to get first place again!] [If I had Angelica¡¯s gaming talent, I would wake up laughing in my dreams!] [How did Angelica¡¯s brain grow? Why is she so good at playing games? I don¡¯t think Angelica has ever surfed in real life!] [It¡¯s so scary. I feel like Angelica will be the first-place player in this game!] [Oh right! Does this game have a pay-to-win system?] Chapter 260 - 260 No Reload System? 260 No Reload System? The pay-to-win system? Someone suddenly brought up the topic, and it immediately attracted the attention of countless live stream room viewers. Su Ping¡¯s previous games were mostly single-player games. There were only a few online games where players could work together. In Su Ping¡¯s game, players only needed to buy some special skins for their characters. There wasn¡¯t much they needed to spend money on. Therefore, this time, when Ready Player One had just started the beta test, everyone focused their attention on the quality and plot of the game. Everyone had subconsciously overlooked the fact that Ready Player One was an online game, and it was a game with strong social attributes! Moreover, there was an equipment and level system in this game, which meant that there would be a leaderboard in the game! Then, could the game purchase equipment directly through the pay-to-win system or purchase game coins to save the process of working hard to save game coins in the early stages? After all, for some rich big shots, they might not be very interested in mini-games such as surfing. It was also impossible for them to earn game coins by completing every mission in the game. The real stage for these big shots was always the battlefield and the rankings. [Oh, right! I don¡¯t think we¡¯ve paid attention to the pay-to-win system of this game before. So, can we pay to win this game?] [Are there any players who are qualified for the beta test? Can you guys tell me what the game shop looks like? Angelica has never opened the game store!] [Since this game is connected to the internet, I should be able to pay for it, right? Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t those big shots have to complete each mission to earn game coins? This is simply a super dissuasive thing!] [I want to see the game store. I want to see what¡¯s on sale at the store. I want to see if there¡¯s any legendary divine artifact!] The overwhelming comments immediately attracted the attention of Su Ping and Angelica. Su Ping was the game producer, and Angelica had a special relationship with Su Ping. Therefore, the two of them didn¡¯t have to worry about the game store. The game belonged to Su Ping. Why would they need to spend money on the game? However, since the viewers had already requested it, Angelica naturally wouldn¡¯t mind the trouble. Afterward, Angelica clicked on the game¡¯s interface and began to look for the game¡¯s top-up entrance and where the game store was. Countless viewers were also looking forward to the moment the game store appeared. But after a long time, Angelica¡¯s game interface remained the same, which made many players confused. [What¡¯s going on? Why is Angelica not moving now? Could it be that there are too many pay-to-win options in the mall which made her silent?] [I seriously suspect that this game is too money-scamming. That¡¯s why Angelica is hesitating whether to show us the pay-to-win system!] [Haha! An awkward situation is going to happen. What if we can¡¯t play this game without spending hundreds of thousands?] [Is Su Ping going to ruin his reputation for the first time? I don¡¯t know why I¡¯m so excited!] At this time, countless players were guessing that Angelica hadn¡¯t shown the pay-to-win system interface yet because it required too much money, and she was afraid of leaving a bad impression on the players. After all, according to the relationship between Angelica and Su Ping, as one of the beta testers of the game, she would have to pay attention to the impact if there was a problem in the game. If it was something bad for the game¡¯s reputation, Angelica would choose to avoid it. Angelica naturally saw everyone¡¯s comments and was speechless. ¡°Can you guys stop making wild guesses? What makes you think that this game can¡¯t be played without spending money?¡± Hearing it, many players were dissatisfied and immediately retorted. [Since this game doesn¡¯t have much pay-to-win content, why don¡¯t you show the interface to everyone?] [Host, I bet that you¡¯re feeling guilty now. It¡¯s obvious that the pay-to-win system in this game is too expensive, and you don¡¯t dare let everyone see it. Why are you trying so hard to explain the situation? It¡¯s boring!] [Host, I think you should just admit it. The pay-to-win system of this game is expensive. If you admit it directly, everyone will think you¡¯re honest. It¡¯s meaningless to hide it now!] [That¡¯s right! You don¡¯t have to act this way at all. After all, as long as the game content is good enough, it doesn¡¯t matter even if the pay-to-win system is a little expensive!] [Where¡¯s Su Ping? Isn¡¯t Su Ping right next to you? Come out and explain the situation!] Obviously, the live stream room viewers didn¡¯t believe Angelica¡¯s words. This kind of situation rarely appeared in Angelica¡¯s live stream room. For a moment, she became a little anxious. Su Ping smiled and said. ¡°Everyone, stop making wild guesses. There¡¯s only one reason why Angelica didn¡¯t show you what the pay-to-win interface looks like. She hasn¡¯t found the reload button!¡± Su Ping¡¯s words shocked countless players who were watching the live stream. What?! Angelica couldn¡¯t find the reload button? This was an online game! Moreover, there must be something like a leaderboard in this game. How could there be no way to top up? If that¡¯s the case, how did players get powerful equipment in the game? Was Su Ping going to let everyone participate in all kinds of mini-games equally or even accumulate game coins by completing every mission? [It¡¯s impossible! How can such an online game not have a top-up system? Su Ping, stop being stubborn!] [Who would believe that? We¡¯ve all played many similar online games. No game can¡¯t be reloaded!] [Su Ping, you¡¯re not going overboard, are you? Nothing is embarrassing about saying this. After all, those crude games have a lot of pay-to-win content. Your game is already considered light!] [Su Ping, I suggest that you should confess as soon as possible! Otherwise, we might make this topic popular and become the top of the trending searches!] Many players started to express their dissatisfaction with Su Ping. After all, Su Ping had always been on equal terms with the players. He had always treated himself as an ordinary person and interacted with them. That was why fans and players would always speak frankly when they talked to Su Ping. No one would try to hide something in such a situation, thinking that they might not respect Su Ping if they expressed their opinions. Su Ping didn¡¯t seem to be unhappy about it. He was still as calm as ever, chatting and laughing. Obviously, Su Ping had expected the situation! Chapter 261 - 261 Its Just for Making the Game More Realistic the Real Game 261 It¡¯s Just for Making the Game More Realistic the Real Game Su Ping said with a smile when he saw the comments getting chaotic. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry. Please listen to me, you¡¯ll know why Angelica can¡¯t find the reload button in this game.¡± Since Su Ping had spoken, the players wouldn¡¯t say anything more. Everyone quieted down and waited for Su Ping to explain what was going on. Angelica looked at Su Ping curiously. After all, even she didn¡¯t know why the game didn¡¯t have a reload system. Su Ping organized his words and spoke calmly. ¡°Here¡¯s the situation. Everyone, do you remember what I told you before? I¡¯ve once said that this game has an economic system, right?¡± ¡°This economic system is actually considered equivalent to a pay-to-win system.¡± ¡°Every player will receive the same amount of game coins when they enter the game for the first time. Just like how many games will give new players some benefits, Ready Player One also has them.¡± ¡°Perhaps many people still don¡¯t know about the benefits for new players. You can just open your email and receive it directly. It¡¯s the same during the game¡¯s official release.¡± ¡°I bet everyone wants to ask, ¡®Why is there no way to reload game coins in the game?¡¯ It¡¯s because all the items in this game can¡¯t be bought with money, including game coins.¡± ¡°Only by participating in the game can you earn game coins and experience points. If some people want to skip the process, they can directly buy powerful equipment and compete for rankings in the game.¡± ¡°At this time, they can directly communicate with the players who want to sell game coins or equipment. He can use real money to trade with the other party in reality.¡± ¡°This way, everyone should understand why this game doesn¡¯t have a top-up button, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s because everything in this game comes from all kinds of games and activities. If there¡¯s a reload button that allows players to top up thousands of money to buy game coins and pay to win the game, the internal trading system of the game may directly be in chaos and collapse!¡± ¡°Without the reload system, not only can we maintain the normal operation of the game¡¯s economic system, but we can also meet the needs of the pay-to-win players. It¡¯s killing two birds with one stone!¡± ¡°Moreover, since there¡¯s no reload system in the game, many items in the game can be clearly priced. I¡¯m not going to determine the price of game equipment but by everyone¡¯s demand!¡± At this point, many live stream room viewers understood what Su Ping meant. Su Ping suddenly said. ¡°Moreover, do you remember what I told you before? I hope that this game can become everyone¡¯s second life, a haven outside of reality.¡± ¡°So everything I¡¯m doing now is to make this game more realistic. I hope everyone can understand my approach!¡± After Su Ping finished his words, countless live stream room viewers looked at him in amazement. After all, no one had expected Su Ping to have such a long-term plan for the game. Besides, Su Ping¡¯s plan had won the support of everyone. Those who had been worried that Su Ping would be so eager to make money that he would come up with an expensive pay-to-win system were now guilty. After all, the reason they had such thoughts was that they had problems trusting Su Ping. After a while, many viewers started to apologize to Su Ping in the stream. [I¡¯m sorry, Su Ping. We were wrong about you just now. I didn¡¯t expect you to have such high standards!] [I¡¯m so sorry, Su Ping. I promise I won¡¯t have such thoughts again. You are the most conscientious and excellent game producer in the world!] [I have to say that Su Ping¡¯s goal is high. I¡¯m already deeply attracted by Su Ping¡¯s goal. I hope the game, Ready Player One, will get better and better!] [So, when will the game be officially released? Even if I can¡¯t top-up money to purchase game coins, at least let me start the game early to earn more game coins, right?] [Doesn¡¯t that mean that as long as the players are hardworking enough, they can even earn money through this game? If we are lucky enough to get powerful equipment, wouldn¡¯t it be possible to get rich overnight?] [Damn! Why didn¡¯t I think of this?! Haha! You¡¯re making me want to play the game to experience all these as soon as possible!] [Huh, you want to get superior-grade equipment by participating in each mini-game? I don¡¯t dare think about it!] [Me too!] The live stream room became lively again. The viewers supported Su Ping¡¯s decision. Su Ping¡¯s actions helped him gain another group of fans. Although Su Ping was famous all over the world and had a huge number of fans¡­ However, not everyone would become Su Ping¡¯s fan. Therefore, there was still a steady stream of passersby who would become Su Ping¡¯s new fans and join the fan community. Some people might have heard of Su Ping¡¯s fame and come to the live stream to see if Su Ping was as famous as they had said. However, what happened in Angelica¡¯s live stream today turned many passersby into Su Ping¡¯s fans. Angelica was also delighted to see such a scene. ¡°It seems like everyone likes your actions. I wonder how many game coins it takes to buy divine artifacts in this game?¡± Su Ping was lost in thought. Afterward, Su Ping shook his head and said. ¡°I can¡¯t answer your question directly. After all, as I said just now, the value of the various items in this game is determined by the players.¡± ¡°How much a divine artifact can be worth depends on the role it can play on the battlefield or in the event.¡± ¡°But I think it shouldn¡¯t be a problem to sell a divine artifact for one million, right?¡± The viewers had different opinions about Su Ping¡¯s answer. However, most people agreed with him. After all, Angelica only got 300 game coins for winning the surfing game. There were at least 800 players who joined the surfing game at the same time! The players at the bottom of the rankings probably wouldn¡¯t get many game coins. It seemed that the value of game coins was still high in the game, Ready Player One! Chapter 262 - 262 The Magical Teleportation Device 262 The Magical Teleportation Device At this moment, the surfing game had officially ended, and the fans in the live stream room naturally began to ask Angelica to go to other places to take a look. After all, Angelica hadn¡¯t been to other planets yet, and it was obvious that the worldview of the game was enormous. Many of the viewers were very curious. Was there a planet like Earth in this world? Moreover, seeing more planets would naturally allow them to find more ways to play the game. It was the topic that the viewers and players were most concerned about. [Host, please change to another place. This planet is filled with water. I¡¯m about to fall asleep while watching it.] [That¡¯s right! Although I feel fresh about this planet at first, it gets boring after seeing it for a long time. Host, hurry up and change to another place.] [Is this the only game point on this planet?] [Is there a planet like Earth in this world? I want to see how Su Ping created Earth in the game.] Angelica soon noticed the viewers¡¯ comments and knew that it might be boring to stay on this planet. Angelica nodded and said. ¡°Alright, since everyone wants to see if there are any other ways to play the game, let¡¯s set off immediately!¡± Angelica turned to Su Ping and asked. ¡°Su Ping, since you are the game producer, do you have any recommendations for us? Are there any fun places nearby?¡± However, as a game producer, Su Ping didn¡¯t know much about it. After all, the game was basically completed by the system. Su Ping was only responsible for making the game more complete. However, if Su Ping gave a negative answer at this moment, it might arouse some people¡¯s suspicion. Therefore, he couldn¡¯t refuse such a request at this moment. Su Ping thought for a while and finally thought of a topic that he could use to deal with temporarily. Su Ping said with a smile. ¡°Do you remember the alien battlefield game I showed you before?¡± Angelica¡¯s eyes lit up, and she nodded. ¡°Of course! I remember it. Do you know where that place is?¡± Su Ping nodded. ¡°Of course. It¡¯s very easy to go anywhere in this game.¡± ¡°After all, it¡¯s a game world. To make it easier for players to move around, I¡¯ve specially set up a teleportation system in the game. As long as you use the teleportation device, you can go to any location in this game world!¡± ¡°Such teleportation devices are very common in this game world, just like the space station you were in at the beginning.¡± ¡°Or this ocean planet has a teleportation device.¡± Hearing it, Angelica suddenly understood the situation. Since there was a teleportation device, moving around in this game world was indeed much easier. Afterward, Su Ping took Angelica to find the teleportation device in this world. After all, it wasn¡¯t the real world, so many things that should only exist in imagination became simple here. For example, the teleportation device. Such a thing couldn¡¯t exist in reality, but it could be successfully implemented in the game. As the game producer, Su Ping soon led Angelica to the location of the teleportation device. The location of teleportation device was located in the underwater city, and it was in a very magnificent building. It could be said that almost the entire building was dedicated to this teleportation device. Su Ping brought Angelica to the platform and spoke calmly. ¡°Stand on the platform like me, then open your character¡¯s interface and confirm your destination. Then, click ¡®start,¡¯ and the teleportation device can be activated.¡± Su Ping demonstrated for Angelica as he spoke. It was easy to do, and Angelica soon learned how to use the teleportation device. After setting the destination, Angelica and Su Ping activated the teleportation device. As the teleportation device was slowly activated, Su Ping and Angelica¡¯s bodies gradually became illusory. It was as if a gust of wind was constantly spinning around their bodies. As the speed of the rotation increased, their bodies eventually turned into countless light particles and dissipated on the spot. Such an incomparably magical scene stunned many live stream room viewers. After all, it was the first time everyone had seen such a teleportation scene. After all, teleportation was a technology that only existed in science fiction. Now, Su Ping was using the game, Ready Player One, to show everyone the technology. Moreover, it was a virtual reality game. Everything the players experienced here was as if it were happening in reality. [What a beautiful teleportation image. Speaking of which, is there any scientific basis for such a teleportation method?] [I¡¯ve read some sci-fi books. Teleportation seems to be done in this way. It¡¯s by completely decomposing the human body into fundamental particles and then reassembling them in another corner of the universe.] [But the person has already been completely separated. Won¡¯t there be problems if he reassembles them?] [Who knows? In short, if there¡¯s a possibility for teleportation technology to be realized in the future, there¡¯s a high probability that it will be completed through this method.] [Wow, I didn¡¯t expect Su Ping¡¯s idea to be so amazing! I think this teleportation device alone is enough to make this game worthy of my praise!] [The teleportation speed is so fast!] In the blink of an eye, Su Ping and Angelica had completely disappeared from the platform of the ocean planet. When the two of them opened their eyes again, the sky in front of them had completely turned dark red. The place gave off an extremely oppressive and heavy feeling. For Su Ping and Angelica, this planet was no longer a strange existence. However, it was the first time the live stream room viewers had seen the scene. Naturally, they were extremely curious and shocked. It was because everything here was too realistic. Lava kept flowing onto the shattered ground. In the sky, some shattered pieces of the planet were floating. It was hard to imagine what kind of terrifying war this planet had experienced. Chapter 263 - 263 The Death Planet 263 The Death Planet [Oh my goodness! What exactly happened in the settings of this planet to cause this place to become like this?] [It¡¯s like hell. I can¡¯t imagine what this planet was like in the past.] [I don¡¯t know why, but I suddenly feel excited. It must be very exciting to fight in this place!] [This planet is most likely used for battles, which is the place where Su Ping mentioned earning game coins through battles. I just don¡¯t know how difficult the battles are. We can only wait for Angelica and Su Ping to test it.] [I hope the difficulty of the battlefield can be slightly lower. After all, if a weak player like me encounters a difficult battle game, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll only be cannon fodder if I enter.] [Haha! Me too. If the difficulty is too high, I¡¯m afraid a player like me will be tortured until I quit!] [Since it¡¯s a battlefield, the risk of players dying will naturally be higher, so the game coins that can be obtained will be more, right?] [What are you two still hesitating about? Hurry up and fight the monsters. But why is this planet empty?] Meanwhile, Su Ping and Angelica had just arrived at the teleportation point of the death planet, and the live stream room viewers couldn¡¯t wait to see the two of them go to the battlefield and start fighting. However, Su Ping didn¡¯t seem anxious at all. Su Ping smiled gently and said, ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be so anxious. As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first upgrade your tools. Do you want the two of us to go to the battlefield empty-handed?¡± Angelica suddenly asked curiously. ¡°Then where are we going to get weapons? Since this game doesn¡¯t have a reload system, there shouldn¡¯t be a game store, right?¡± Su Ping smiled at Angelica¡¯s question. He pointed at the platform and said calmly. ¡°If you want to obtain a weapon, you can just buy it directly from the teleportation point.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you get 300 game coins from the surfing game just now? Although this money shouldn¡¯t be enough to buy any weapon, it should be enough for temporary rental.¡± ¡°Of course, this kind of temporarily rented weapon definitely can¡¯t be too powerful. It¡¯s only used to help players get through the novice period.¡± Su Ping clicked on a control panel next to the platform. Afterward, the platform under Su Ping and Angelica¡¯s feet began to sink slowly. Finally, they entered an underground space that they had never seen before. The place was like an underground mall. There were many counters inside, and all kinds of weapons were displayed on the counters. Most of the weapons here could only be bought with game coins. Only a few of the worst weapons could be rented. Obviously, the game was encouraging players to earn more game coins to buy weapons. Moreover, if the power of the weapon that could be obtained by renting it was too great, the desire of the players to buy the weapon would definitely decrease. When the time came, as long as they came to this planet, they would face the risk of dying in battle. There was no need to spend a lot of money to buy weapons. Renting a weapon was naturally a less risky choice. If they died on the battlefield, losing the rented weapons wasn¡¯t a big loss. Soon, Su Ping and Angelica chose their weapons and paid with game coins. The 300 game coins that Angelica had just earned were reduced by half, and it was just to rent the weapon in her hand for a day! ¡°Tsk-tsk! The weapons in your game are made of gold. I just got the game coins from first place, but I can only rent them for two days.¡± ¡°If it were an ordinary player, they would probably have to play several games to earn enough game coins to rent this weapon, right?¡± Su Ping shrugged and said faintly. ¡°There¡¯s nothing we can do about it. After all, the game is still in its infancy.¡± ¡°Actually, places like death planet usually require players to play for at least half a month and accumulate some equipment before coming here.¡± ¡°We¡¯re considered early.¡± Now that the weapons had been purchased, it was finally time for the exciting battle segment. If the purpose of the surfing game just now was to satisfy everyone¡¯s curiosity and make everyone feel satisfied with the game¡­ The upcoming battle was the most important part of today¡¯s live stream, and it was also the place that most people paid attention to. After all, the most fascinating thing about this super realistic virtual reality game was the extremely realistic battle. After all, if one wanted to experience a battle in the real world, one might have to go to some anarchic areas and directly participate in the war. Once they died on the battlefield, they couldn¡¯t be resurrected, like in the game. Therefore, this kind of virtual reality game satisfied many people¡¯s desire for combat. It was the gameplay that countless players naturally looked forward to the most. If a high-quality virtual reality game didn¡¯t have combat gameplay, it would be a waste. Angelica had fought many battles on the death planet when she went to Su Ping¡¯s house. Therefore, Angelica was familiar with everything here. It could be said that Angelica was very familiar with everything here except for the weapons, which she didn¡¯t know where to buy or rent. Afterward, Su Ping and Angelica returned to the surface of the death planet through the teleportation platform. As soon as they returned to the ground, the ground under their feet suddenly began to tremble violently, as if someone on the other side of the planet had smashed the planet with a big hammer. Even many live stream room viewers were shocked by the violent vibration. [Fuck! What was that? Did another planet collide with this planet?] [I suddenly feel that even if the game is officially released, it¡¯s best not to come to this planet casually. It¡¯s too dangerous here!] [Hehe, cowardly people don¡¯t deserve to have the precious spoils of war. No matter how dangerous this place is, I must come in and have a try!] [Speaking of which, is there anything like a kill leaderboard on this planet?] [The two of you, hurry up and see what¡¯s going on with the tremors just now. Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re afraid, huh?] Some viewers were urging Su Ping to check it out, while others were trying to goad them. Su Ping smiled. He immediately brought a tomato and headed in the direction of the vibration. Chapter 264 - 264 Fighting the Boss 264 Fighting the Boss Su Ping said as they traveled. ¡°The reason why we didn¡¯t see any monsters near the teleportation point before was that there wasn¡¯t any war. It¡¯s because the teleportation point and the nearby area are considered reserved by the system. There won¡¯t be any monsters there.¡± ¡°Therefore, if you want to participate in the battle, if you want to earn game coins or obtain equipment by killing monsters, you have to go to a place far away from the teleportation point to encounter monsters.¡± Su Ping suddenly looked at Angelica and said seriously. ¡°Angelica, be careful. We¡¯re about to enter the battlefield. If I¡¯m not wrong, the vibration just now is probably an alien boss respawning!¡± Hearing it, Angelica¡¯s expression suddenly became solemn. Although Angelica was a girl, she was an expert player and quite interested in this type of combat. Besides, Angelica had a strong desire to win, just like when she played Su Ping¡¯s games before. If she didn¡¯t have such a strong desire to win, Angelica wouldn¡¯t have had to set a goal for herself to clear the game in one go every time. Angelica could have been more relaxed and kept trying to complete the game. Therefore, Angelica had completely entered battle mode. Finally, after Su Ping and Angelica climbed over a small hill in front of them, they stood on the top of the hill and saw a scene that shocked the countless live stream room viewers. The terrain in front of the small hill, where the two of them were, suddenly became extremely flat. It was an extremely vast plain. At this moment, the plains were filled with alien creatures of all shapes and sizes. Naturally, a large number of beta testers had already discovered this location and were using their weapons to combat the alien army. Some of them were using kinetic weapons, which were more traditional weapons such as machine guns. Some of them were holding more advanced laser weapons or even microwave weapons. Some of them even carried equipment like rocket launchers. This kind of rocket could kill a large number of aliens. Of course, these people usually wouldn¡¯t have a good ending. After all, the number of weapons of mass destruction that a person could carry was limited. Once they used up their weapons, they could only become the target of the alien creatures. The battlefield was filled with gunfire, flames from the muzzles, and smoke and fire from the explosions. At a glance, one could feel how intense the battlefield was. [Wow! This feels amazing! This battlefield is simply a dream paradise for players like me!] [Haha! When the game is officially released, I must come to this death planet to participate in the battle. I love fighting monsters to level up!] [This place is much more interesting than the surfing game from before. I¡¯m looking forward to the official release of the game!] [Look in the two o¡¯clock direction. Is that extraterrestrial creature the alien boss Su Ping mentioned?] Someone with sharp eyes noticed a rather abrupt existence on the battlefield. The area was also filled with a large number of alien creatures, but unlike other places, there was a group of soldiers surrounding an even larger alien creature. All kinds of powerful weapons were launched at the alien creature as if it were free. Su Ping nodded and said faintly. ¡°He must be the one who caused the violent tremors on this planet. He¡¯s a boss.¡± ¡°Every player who took part in the battle will receive game coins and character experience points upon the death of the boss, depending on how much damage they caused.¡± ¡°If we¡¯re lucky, this boss will provide some equipment. Moreover, the probability of a boss providing equipment is much higher than that of ordinary mobs!¡± ¡°So, when the game is officially released, players who like to fight must pay attention to the movements of every place on this planet when they come here.¡± ¡°Once you discover such a boss appearing in a certain location, you must join the battle immediately. If you contributed too little damage and the ratio is too low, the rewards you can obtain in the end will be very limited!¡± After Su Ping¡¯s introduction, the live stream room viewers became even more eager to try the game. Unfortunately, the game was still in the beta test. They could only watch the intense battle in front of them and were unable to join in the battle. It made many live stream room viewers feel as if there were fleas constantly tormenting their bodies. Their bodies were itchy everywhere, but they couldn¡¯t do anything. Angelica and Su Ping joined the fight in the distance. The extraterrestrial creature was indeed the only boss that spawned on this planet. Its combat strength was extremely terrifying. The creature looked like a mutated octopus, with countless huge and thick tentacles extending from its body. It swung its tentacles with force. If these tentacles unintentionally touched a player who had just joined the game, they would perish right away. It was here that the countless live stream room viewers finally saw for the first time what the players in this game would become after they died. Here, a player wouldn¡¯t turn into a corpse after being killed by a fatal attack. It would also be different from a real battlefield. It wouldn¡¯t have large amounts of blood spurting out from the wound, making it look extremely bloody and terrifying. Once the players here were fatally injured, their bodies would explode! However, after the explosion, it wouldn¡¯t turn into pieces of meat on the ground. Instead, it would be like a piggy bank, and many gold coins would drop from it. These gold coins were game coins that could be picked up by nearby players and become their property! The players in the live stream room just witnessed with their own eyes, from Angelica¡¯s perspective, that a player who was battling the boss was unintentionally killed by the boss¡¯ tentacles, causing his body to drop a large number of gold coins. Afterward, a sneaky and wretched figure appeared. A shadow flashed, and all the gold coins dropped by the player were picked up! Many live stream room viewers were stunned when they saw the scene, but some people realized what had happened just now. Chapter 265 - 265 The Scavenger 265 The Scavenger [Fuck?! Am I seeing it right? This game has only been in beta testing for a few hours. How come there are already players who like to pick up scraps?] [Shameless people! Players are all trying out the game after they¡¯ve obtained the beta testing qualification. They¡¯re all trying out different ways to play the game. Why would someone specifically focus on the gold coins dropped by other people¡¯s corpses and pick them up?!] [What¡¯s the point of scolding them? Some people like to fight, while others like to discover. These are all their ways of playing. I think that someone who can come up with such a way of playing the game just a few hours after the game is launched is really smart. He must be an expert!] [That¡¯s right! Although his gameplay is a little dirty from a moral point of view, I have to say that if he plays the game seriously, he should be very good!] [I didn¡¯t expect someone to figure out this kind of picking the corpse¡¯s game coins gaming method in just a few hours. However, it seems to be feasible!] [Su Ping, did you see that sneaky guy? Why could the gold coins dropped by players be picked up by others? Even if we can pick them up, we should at least reduce the number of gold coins!] [That¡¯s right! I don¡¯t object to people using such speculation methods to make money, but it can¡¯t be that easy!] When the viewers all complained about the sneaky person in the comments, Su Ping naturally noticed him. Su Ping thought for a moment and replied faintly. ¡°I saw that guy, but I still hope that everyone can calm down for the time being.¡± ¡°First of all, this game has a high degree of freedom, and I won¡¯t impose any restrictions on how you play it.¡± ¡°I will consider your suggestion, but there is a high probability that the setting of gold coins dropping after the player dies won¡¯t be changed.¡± ¡°After all, after a player dies, all the items on them will drop. If they can¡¯t be picked up by others, where will these items go? Are you going to put them all in my pocket?¡± Su Ping made a joke at the end, which stunned many people. Su Ping was right. If the players didn¡¯t drop gold coins after they died, would their equipment and gold coins disappear into thin air? Su Ping¡¯s explanation had convinced many players. Soon, they stopped talking about it. Su Ping and Angelica had joined the battle. They were attacking the boss with the weapons they had just rented. In this kind of battle, the basic logic of aggro was the same as in most games. For example, if someone dealt more damage to the boss, the boss would have a higher hatred for them. When it launched an attack, it would prioritize these people as its targets. However, the giant tentacle monster had countless tentacles. At least dozens of people at the scene had become its targets at the same time. Since Su Ping and Angelica had just joined the battle, they weren¡¯t targeted by the tentacle monster and didn¡¯t attract its attack. The battle soon became extremely intense, and almost at every moment, someone was accidentally hit by the monster, and their efforts were in vain. Even though the setting of losing everything after death would make people feel that the punishment was too severe and even make them afraid¡­ However, it was also because the price of death was too high that everyone would invest all their energy in the battle. At this moment, the adrenaline in the human body would surge rapidly, allowing every player who participated in the battle to experience the thrill of the crazy secretion of hormones. Angelica and Su Ping soon forgot that it was just a game. Angelica even forgot that she was live streaming. This was the first time she had such a feeling! No matter what kind of game Angelica had experienced before, she would still pay attention to her behavior in the game. Moreover, Angelica would also take time to interact with the live stream room viewers while playing the game, because she knew that everything was virtual and she was a live streamer. But now, Angelica seems to have completely forgotten all of this. There was only one thing left in her mind, and that was the battle! Of course, the countless live stream room viewers were also completely focused on the exciting battle. Even the dense comments in the live stream room had become much less because everyone had no time to type and comment. The viewers were afraid that they would miss any interesting details of the battlefield while they were typing. Since the game wouldn¡¯t display the enemy¡¯s HP, the players who participated in the battle wouldn¡¯t know how much HP the boss in front of them had. No one had any chance to catch their breath. They could only continue fighting desperately. While attacking, they had to pay attention to avoid the monsters¡¯ counterattack. Finally, 15 minutes after Su Ping and Angelica joined the battle, the mountain-like monster suddenly trembled. Afterward, countless cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the monster¡¯s body, and dazzling white light was released from the cracks. Seeing the scene, countless people instantly held their breaths because everyone clearly knew what the scene meant. [Is it finally going to end? Oh my goodness! This big creature is finally dead!] [It¡¯s been more than half an hour since the previous vibration came. This monster indeed has thick skin!] [Haha! Although the battle has been a little too long, it¡¯s how a satisfying experience should be!] [Hurry up and release the game! I want to experience the feeling of fighting monsters like crazy too!] [I wonder how much the monster will reward us. Besides, didn¡¯t Su Ping say that this kind of boss will provide equipment?] [Finally, the battle is over. I can¡¯t imagine how we¡¯re going to defeat a boss stronger than this monster!] [It doesn¡¯t matter at all. The players here are all beta testers now. They are considered bosses for beginners. Maybe in the future, when everyone¡¯s equipment becomes stronger, this kind of boss will be easy to kill!] [I¡¯m looking forward to the game¡¯s official release. It¡¯s perfectly in line with my expectations!] The hearty battle just now had completely conquered everyone in the live stream room. No one could find any flaws in this battle. At the same time, the cracks on the monster¡¯s body finally became bigger and bigger. Finally, there was the sound of metal colliding. The monster¡¯s body finally exploded, and a large number of game coins fell from the sky like rain. Chapter 266 - 266 The Golden Legend 266 The Golden Legend Such a huge amount of game coins caught countless players off guard. When everyone finally reacted, the players finally began to show their skills and used various methods to receive the game coins from the sky. The number of game coins that every player had was rapidly increasing. In this heavy rain of game coins, every player¡¯s gaze suddenly fell on a white ball of light floating in the air. The ball of light appeared after the monster¡¯s body exploded into game coins. However, at first, everyone was completely immersed in the joy of the game coins and ignored it. As the ball of light slowly descended from the sky, countless people held their breaths. Su Ping raised his eyebrows and said in surprise. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect my luck to be so good today. I only fought this kind of novice boss once, and it is rewarding me with equipment now?¡± The live stream room viewers burst into an uproar when they heard Su Ping¡¯s words. [What?! It really rewards equipment?] [Didn¡¯t you say that these items appeared with probability? Why did you and Angelica can get equipment as soon as you came here?] [Could it be that Su Ping secretly send a message to the game development company and ask them to adjust the parameters of the game so that the monster would reward them with equipment?] [That must be the case! Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?!] [Darn it! It seems that I have to track Su Ping and Angelica in the game. I¡¯ll be lucky if I follow them!] [That¡¯s right! I¡¯ve decided it! When the game is officially released, I must follow Su Ping closely!] Su Ping didn¡¯t expect things to turn out this way. He swore to God that he didn¡¯t do anything behind the scenes! The sudden appearance of the box that represented the boss¡¯ equipment was really based on a certain probability! Su Ping had to explain himself to the viewers as the conspiracy theories and speculations in the live stream were getting more and more ridiculous. ¡°Stop your wild guesses. How could I change something that is based on probability?¡± ¡°You might not even be able to imagine how huge this game is. It can be said that no one can adjust the probability of the various rewards in this game in a short time. Even I can¡¯t do it!¡± ¡°It¡¯s really a coincidence this time. Maybe one of the players who fought the boss today was a lucky guy, so he can be rewarded with equipment in one go?¡± ¡°Moreover, stop being envious. This kind of equipment reward during the novice period is only better during the first stage of the game. When the game gradually develops, you might not use such kind of equipment!¡± Although Su Ping had tried his best to explain and appease the live stream room viewers, the news of the equipment reward had a huge impact on their minds. The live stream room viewers didn¡¯t buy Su Ping¡¯s explanations. They still believed that he was manipulating the game! Since there was no point in explaining, Su Ping could only shake his head helplessly. In any case, they could only complain about Su Ping in the live stream room. When the game was officially released in the future, no matter how harshly they were scolding him now, they would have to register accounts one by one. Su Ping pulled his attention back from the live stream. Like the other players, he fixed his eyes on the white ball of light in front of him. Everyone could touch the ball of light, and the rewards they received after touching it were different. To provide every player with a different experience, there were many types of items in the equipment box. Su Ping glanced at Angelica and smiled. ¡°Hurry up and see what¡¯s in the box. Although these pieces of equipment might not be useful in the future, it¡¯s still a rare piece of high-grade equipment for beginners!¡± Hearing it, Angelica nodded, and then both of them reached out to touch the box in front of them. The box suddenly emitted a dazzling light that made the two of them close their eyes involuntarily. Afterward, a system notification popped up in front of Angelica and Su Ping. A weapon with a purple glow appeared in front of Angelica. On Su Ping¡¯s side, there was a weapon with a golden glow. It was obvious which of the two weapons was of a higher grade and rarity. The situation made the live stream room viewers unable to stay still anymore. [What did I just say? Su Ping must have secretly adjusted the probability. Otherwise, how could he can obtain higher-grade equipment?] [Damn! Is this the ¡°Golden Legend?¡± Is Su Ping going to be the number one player in the game?] [There must be an inside story! Su Ping, I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a person! You¡¯re using the fact that you¡¯re the game producer and randomly changing the probability to give yourself a piece of godly equipment, right?!] [Su Ping, you¡¯ve gone too far. It will be fine if you get purple equipment but a gold one. Just admit that you did it on purpose!] Su Ping felt like crying when he saw the crazy voices denouncing him. Su Ping could swear to the heavens that he didn¡¯t do such underhanded things! All of this was the will of heaven. He was really lucky! Su Ping was confused and thought, ¡°Why is it that even though I¡¯ve consumed my lifespan to obtain good equipment, I¡¯m still criticized and even attacked by the netizens?¡± However, no matter what, obtaining better equipment was something to be happy about. ¡°What did you get?¡± Su Ping looked at Angelica curiously because everyone would get different equipment. Besides, the equipment would be displayed directly in the players¡¯ vision. No one else could see it. Therefore, Su Ping had no idea what Angelica had gotten. Angelica said with satisfaction. ¡°I¡¯m having good luck. It¡¯s a legendary-grade hand cannon. I¡¯ve checked the weapon¡¯s attributes. Its attack power is as high as 50 points!¡± ¡°The weapon we rented before only has an attack power of 20, and its firing speed is slower than a hand cannon!¡± After Angelica finished her words, Su Ping smiled and said. ¡°Haha! After all, the rented weapon is meant for newbies. Naturally, it¡¯s not as good as the equipment rewarded by this boss.¡± Angelica looked at Su Ping curiously and asked. ¡°They all said that you obtained a golden weapon. What is it? Can you show it to me?¡± The viewers widened their eyes in shock. Chapter 267 - 267 Under-The-Table Operation 267 Under-The-Table Operation Every live stream room viewer wanted to know what kind of golden weapon Su Ping had won. After all, items that shone with a golden light were basically top-notch equipment in most games. Or some scarce treasures that could significantly increase a player¡¯s combat strength. Whether it was a Gacha game or an open-world game, gold items were good items! The viewers weren¡¯t the only ones who wanted to know what was inside. Even Su Ping was curious. What did he get? Finally, a pop-up window appeared on Su Ping¡¯s interface. Of course, only Su Ping could see the interface. Otherwise, everyone would be able to see what equipment others had obtained, which is actually dangerous. After all, there were so many people on the battlefield. If everyone could see what equipment others had obtained¡­ It was very likely that some people would discover that the treasures obtained by others were especially precious. They would immediately have evil thoughts and directly join forces with the people around them to snatch them. This way, the equipment reward would be meaningless, and the game would also cause the players to form more factions. It could even be said that if players didn¡¯t have a guild or sect, they couldn¡¯t fight or kill monsters. It was because others would know when the player got good equipment, and then the player would be attacked by others. Su Ping couldn¡¯t help but smile when he saw the knight appear on the character interface. To the viewers, Su Ping¡¯s smile meant that he had obtained the best equipment! More and more viewers couldn¡¯t help but urge Su Ping to tell them what it was. [Su Ping, stop pretending. Everyone knows you¡¯ve got something good. Can you just tell us what it is?] [Su Ping, you¡¯re a man. Can you stop being so wishy-washy? If you keep doing this, I¡¯m going to give the game a bad review when it¡¯s released!] [Su Ping, hurry up and tell us what it is. Otherwise, I¡¯m going to become an anti-fan!] [Hurry up and tell us! I¡¯m dying of anxiety!] When Su Ping saw the comments in the live stream room urging him, he finally found his conscience. He didn¡¯t keep the viewers guessing. Otherwise, the millions of viewers in the live-streaming room would desire to eat Su Ping alive. Although countless people were watching him, Su Ping wasn¡¯t worried at all. He took out the weapon he had just obtained from his backpack. All of a sudden, a big sword with colorful lights appeared in Su Ping¡¯s hand. The sword was extremely huge. It was even bigger than the characters that some players had set. However, the sword seemed light in Su Ping¡¯s hand. It was as if it weren¡¯t made of metal but of plastic. However, the metallic luster and colorful light emitted by the sword told the others that it wasn¡¯t ordinary. [Wow! What is this? What a colorful greatsword!] [Although I don¡¯t know about the weapon¡¯s attributes, just the appearance of this weapon is enough to be called the ¡°Golden Legend¡±!] [I wish I had a weapon like this too. If I were to carry a colorful greatsword on my back while walking on the streets, I will definitely attract many people¡¯s attention!] [I¡¯m so envious of Su Ping. He got such a reward after fighting the boss once. Do you think you changed the code secretly?] [Su Ping must have done something behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could he be so lucky?!] [There must be an inside story!] [Aah! I can¡¯t take it anymore! I want a weapon like this too!] Many live stream room viewers were jealous when they saw the dazzling weapon in Su Ping¡¯s hand. After all, the other players were still holding beginner¡¯s weapons that could only be obtained by renting them, while Su Ping had changed his weapons. It could be said that it was as if Su Ping had changed his weapon into a tank! Su Ping was no longer in the same dimension as the other players. When Su Ping took out the colorful greatsword, the other beta testers at the scene naturally noticed its special existence. Most players hadn¡¯t recognized Su Ping yet, so they had the same thought. ¡°Which idiot will dare to take out the good thing he had just obtained publicly?¡± ¡°Is he waiting for someone to snatch his things?¡± On this death planet, players could not only fight monsters, but they could also fight other players! In other words, there were no rules in this place. Only the teleportation point and the nearby area were safe zones set by the system. Not only would they not be able to fight monsters there, but they would also not be able to attack each other. However, as long as they left the safe zone, the players had to be wary of more than just the monsters that could spawn around them at any time or the bosses that could appear at any time. Players also need to be careful of other players who might covet their equipment! Some people who hadn¡¯t recognized Su Ping started to exchange glances with their companions. They nodded at each other. Apparently, they had made the same decision. They were going to snatch Su Ping¡¯s equipment! Su Ping was still interacting with the live stream room viewers. He was comforting them by telling them not to be too envious of him. Su Ping also wished that everyone could obtain the same good equipment after the game was officially released. Everyone would definitely be able to have a divine artifact and be powerful on the battlefield in the game. Of course, Su Ping¡¯s method didn¡¯t satisfy every player. After all, most of the live stream room viewers weren¡¯t even qualified for the beta test. How could they believe Su Ping¡¯s words? Many people commented, ¡°Su Ping, give me a beta test slot as soon as possible, and I¡¯ll forgive you.¡± Some people even leave their phone numbers or email address in the comments, hoping that Su Ping could send the weapon to their emails after the game was officially released. Of course, Su Ping couldn¡¯t agree to such a request. Meanwhile, a few unfamiliar figures appeared near Su Ping. They secretly formed a circle around Su Ping. As an experienced veteran player, Angelica immediately noticed the situation, and her expression changed. Chapter 268 - 268 Surround and Attack 268 Surround and Attack ¡°Su Ping, be careful. These people are probably here to cause you trouble!¡± Angelica quickly reminded Su Ping because he was still busy interacting with the live stream room viewers. Su Ping immediately shifted his attention from the stream to the game. Su Ping realized something when he saw the people surrounding him. Su Ping seemed surprised and asked, ¡°What?! It turns out that someone dares to rob me in the game?!¡± ¡°Do you think they still don¡¯t know who I am? That¡¯s why they dare to do such a thing?¡± The conversation between Su Ping and Angelica successfully changed the topic, and the sudden change made many live stream room viewers curious. Soon, many players realized what had happened and began to laugh. [Pfft! No way. Are these guys targeting Su Ping and Angelica?] [Haha! I knew Su Ping¡¯s good luck would bring him karma sooner or later. I hope these beta testers can teach him a lesson. We can¡¯t let him be so smug anymore!] [That¡¯s right! Brothers, hurry up and attack. We all support you!] [Take Su Ping¡¯s weapon. Let¡¯s see if he still dares show off!] [Haha! I can guarantee that these people didn¡¯t recognize Su Ping and Angelica. Otherwise, how could they dare to target the founder of the game? Isn¡¯t this like an egg hitting a rock?] [Let¡¯s see how powerful the weapon is. There¡¯s a high chance that this is the first Golden Legend in the game!] At this moment, countless live stream room viewers began to discuss the matter, and everyone was extremely enthusiastic about it. Su Ping and Angelica looked at each other and held their weapons tightly, ready to fight. The two of them naturally had no fear of the group of people around them. Su Ping¡¯s confidence came from his strength and the weapon in his hand. No one knew what the specific attributes of the weapon were, but Su Ping had seen some of them after a casual glance. What surprised Su Ping the most was the attacking power of the weapon. Previously, Angelica¡¯s attack power of 50 had already surprised and envied many live stream room viewers. However, the weapon in Su Ping¡¯s hand had a terrifying 200 attack power! One had to know that some novice weapons only had 20 to 30 attack power! It meant that the attributes of the weapon in Su Ping¡¯s hand were at least ten times greater than those of a beginner¡¯s weapon! Under such circumstances, someone might accidentally lose their life if they bump into the weapon. However, the people around Su Ping and Angelica had been completely dazzled by the weapon in Su Ping¡¯s hand. In their opinion, even if Su Ping had a more powerful weapon, they still had the absolute advantage in numbers! Even if all of them were wiped out, as long as one of them could kill Su Ping and get the weapon, everything would be worth it! Even if the gold coins and equipment would all be rewarded to the remaining players after the person died, it was still in the game¡¯s beta test. At that time, everyone could just return to this planet to pick up the equipment that they had left. Moreover, most of them were using weapons that they had rented from the system. Even if they lost them and couldn¡¯t get them back, it wasn¡¯t a big deal. At most, they could just create another character, right? Therefore, even though they were facing the colorful sword in Su Ping¡¯s hand, there was no fear in their eyes. Instead, their eyes showed a greedy and envious look. ¡°Brothers, let¡¯s attack together. This sword looks powerful. We must not let this guy break it one by one.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! We have enough people. No matter how powerful the sword is, one of us will definitely be able to get it. Anyway, everyone¡¯s level is the same. As long as anyone killed this guy, this weapon will be ours!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go, brothers! The first Golden Legend in the entire server is ours!¡± Afterward, they all rushed toward Su Ping. Angelica, who was standing beside him, was completely ignored by them. In their eyes, Su Ping was a guy who liked to teach girls to play games. The girl next to him was most likely a pretty girl who was bad at playing games. The weapon in Su Ping¡¯s hand was so dazzling that they couldn¡¯t see Angelica¡¯s weapon anymore. The two sides finally began their official battle. Countless live stream room viewers stared at the two of them with wide eyes. While facing their attacks, Su Ping stood at the front to protect Angelica. Of course, Angelica was also very powerful. Su Ping was fully prepared since the enemies were attacking him from all sides. He gripped his sword tightly and didn¡¯t give them any chance to react. The colorful greatsword was swung fiercely, drawing a sign in the air. Some unlucky ones who didn¡¯t react quickly enough were hit by Su Ping¡¯s attack. These people would never have thought that when they were prepared to defend themselves against Su Ping¡¯s attack¡­ However, when the sword slashed at them, they still didn¡¯t have the slightest chance to retaliate. The defense they had originally built in front of them was like paper, and it didn¡¯t have any effect on blocking Su Ping¡¯s attack at all. In less than a second, the area around Su Ping had been cleared. Everyone inside had turned into a pile of gold coins scattered on the ground. The gold coins fell to the ground with a tinkling sound, which was very comical. However, for those who were still thinking about targeting Su Ping and Angelica, the scene was definitely not interesting. Some of them hadn¡¯t approached Su Ping yet because they were a little late. They were all scared by what they saw and quickly stepped back. ¡°What¡¯s going on? What¡¯s the attribute of the sword in his hand? How could he kill someone in an instant? I remember everyone is at the same level, though!¡± ¡°It¡¯s impossible. Even if that weapon is gold in color, it¡¯s still a beginner¡¯s weapon. How could it instantly kill an opponent of the same level?¡± ¡°Is there a bug in the system? How can the attributes of that weapon be so high?¡± ¡°Do we still want to continue fighting? Is there anyone who can take a hit?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we retreat? It¡¯s too dangerous.¡± Chapter 269 - 269 Doing An Unsuitable Action 269 Doing An Unsuitable Action Su Ping only launched one attack, but he had already beaten up those who wanted to attack him and made them flee. They didn¡¯t even intend to continue fighting Su Ping. After all, the visual impact of Su Ping killing all the people around him was too great. At this moment, many live stream room viewers were shocked by the scene. [Fuck?! How much damage can this weapon cause? How can it be so powerful?!] [Is this the power of the Golden Legend? Is there anyone who saw the attributes of the weapon and tell us about it?] [I don¡¯t know. It seems that Su Ping didn¡¯t reveal the weapon¡¯s attributes at all. I don¡¯t think anyone saw the weapon¡¯s attack power.] [Su Ping, hurry up and open the panel for everyone to see. We won¡¯t do anything to you, alright?] [Wouldn¡¯t the player be invincible to have such a weapon in the early stages?] [That¡¯s right! The strength of this weapon is ridiculous. It¡¯s not something that a novice weapon can fight against!] [I can feel that this weapon can be used in the middle stage of the game without any problems. Its attributes are too powerful!] Meanwhile, in the live stream room, viewers were discussing topics about the weapon. On the other side, the people who had been attacking Su Ping had given up. Although they hoped to have Su Ping¡¯s weapon and were eager to get their hands on it¡­ However, what had just happened frightened them. Under such circumstances, they didn¡¯t have enough morale to face Su Ping¡¯s attack. Su Ping didn¡¯t chase after them. He just looked at them quietly and started chatting with Angelica as if nothing had happened. ¡°Do you see that? This is the power of the Golden Legend!¡± Looking at Su Ping¡¯s smug face, Angelica said disdainfully. ¡°Tsk-tsk! Isn¡¯t it just a golden weapon? I¡¯ve always relied on my strength to defeat my opponents!¡± Seeing how proud Angelica was, Su Ping smiled and didn¡¯t insist on fighting with her. In any case, the two of them had such a good relationship. They both knew what kind of person the other party was. Besides, Su Ping knew that Angelica¡¯s words indicated that she was envious of him. At this moment, some of the people who had been targeting Su Ping finally recognized him. ¡°Holy! What¡¯s going on? Why does that guy look like Su Ping?!¡± ¡°What? Are you kidding me? Is it really Su Ping? The producer of this game?¡± ¡°Of course! Why would I lie to you? If you don¡¯t believe me, you can join Angelica¡¯s live stream room. She¡¯s doing a live stream right now. You¡¯ll know that the guy with the big sword is really Su Ping!¡± ¡°Fuck! It is Su Ping! Then, weren¡¯t we fighting the producer of this game?¡± ¡°Shit! Who told us to go after Su Ping just now? Aren¡¯t we courting death by doing it since this game is developed by him?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. Why do I feel that the guy who was making a ruckus just now has already sneaked away?¡± ¡°Damn it! All our brothers died for nothing. If we go against Su Ping, aren¡¯t we doing the same thing as taking the initiative to hit the muzzle of a gun?!¡± ¡°Damn! I can¡¯t believe I ran into Su Ping here. Is that Angelica? Oh my goodness! It turns out that I met Su Ping and Angelica in the game at the same time. I¡¯m having such good luck!¡± Su Ping had heard the voices of the players. He then smiled at them and said. ¡°Since you know who I am, you won¡¯t continue to target me, right? If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll keep this golden greatsword.¡± Hearing it, everyone on the other side immediately stopped discussing and nodded. After all, it would be foolish of them to have any ideas about Su Ping under such circumstances. Soon, the joy of seeing Su Ping washed away the sadness in their hearts. Even though many players had died because of their mistakes, it was still a pleasant surprise for them to see Su Ping and Angelica in person. Soon, the people on the other side seemed to have reached an agreement. They all gathered around Su Ping and wanted to take a photo with him. These people no longer had any murderous intent toward Su Ping. Instead, they were all smiling to please him. After all, it was rare to meet Su Ping in the game. Su Ping wasn¡¯t a vengeful person. Seeing that they were trying to please him, he smiled and took a picture with them. Not long ago, the battlefield was bleak. However, the two opposing sides had now become good friends. Of course, Su Ping had expected such a situation to happen. He knew that it would happen once his identity was recognized. What happened next was peaceful. Of course, the fans wouldn¡¯t fight Su Ping again. However, such a heartwarming scene wouldn¡¯t last for too long. It was because the monsters would respawn after they were killed. It had been some time since the previous monsters had been killed, so new monsters were about to spawn. At that time, the players here would have to choose whether to continue fighting monsters here or go to the teleportation point to rest. Of course, Su Ping and Angelica chose to return to the teleportation point. After all, they had made a lot of money in this battle. There was no point in staying here, so they might as well go somewhere else to experience the fun and gameplay of the game. Of course, Angelica also agreed with it. Then, the two of them said goodbye to the fans present and prepared to return to the teleportation point. Even at this moment, many live stream room viewers were still discussing the battle and the golden weapon. It was foreseeable that even if Angelica ended her live stream today, there would still be a lot of people on the Internet discussing the live stream¡¯s content. After all, today was the first day that the game, Ready Player One, officially started its beta test. Countless players stayed tuned in to Angelica¡¯s live stream. Moreover, the players were starting to prepare for the game¡¯s official release. Everyone hoped that they could become one of the top players in the game after the game was officially released. It was a great opportunity for many people. Chapter 270 - 270 The Terrifying Attributes 270 The Terrifying Attributes Soon, Su Ping and Angelica returned to the teleportation point. It was very quiet here. After all, it was a safe zone, which was completely different from the battlefield. After the battle just now, Su Ping and Angelica naturally needed a good rest. At this moment, after being urged by many players, Su Ping finally decided to show everyone what the weapon he had just obtained looked like. ¡°Alright, alright. Isn¡¯t it just a golden weapon? Look at how anxious you are.¡± ¡°Wait a moment. I¡¯ll take out my weapon and broaden your horizons. Look at you guys! You look like you have never seen the world!¡± Su Ping even mocked the viewers. The viewers knew that Su Ping was joking, so they mocked him back. For a moment, the live stream room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. [Huh! Which of you said that Su Ping had earned enough money? Brother, you are right! I think Su Ping has earned enough and doesn¡¯t want to serve us anymore!] [Su Ping has become arrogant after earning money!] [Sigh, I knew I shouldn¡¯t have let Su Ping make so much money back then. Now, he doesn¡¯t care about the viewers anymore!] [I hope Su Ping will always remember his original intention and not become too arrogant!] [Alright, alright. Stop talking so much nonsense. Hurry up and show everyone what attributes your sword has. That¡¯s the most important thing!] Under the urging of the viewers, Su Ping took out the big sword again. Since they were on the battlefield, the players didn¡¯t see many details clearly. Now that they were at the safe teleportation point, the viewers had more time and energy to take a good look at Su Ping¡¯s golden sword. Of course, everyone was most concerned about the attributes of the greatsword. After all, the scene of Su Ping killing several enemies with one sword strike shocked many players. Su Ping opened the attribute panel of the weapon. The attributes of the weapon were finally displayed. When the players present saw the terrifying 200-attack power of the weapon, they gasped in shock. [Hiss! Am I seeing it right? Is the attack power of this weapon really 200? Did I see an extra zero?] [I thought I was wrong too, but since so many viewers said that they saw the same thing, it seems that the attack power of this weapon is really 200!] [How can the attack power be so high? Is it already a little unbalanced?] [No wonder Su Ping could have killed those people in seconds. It¡¯s unacceptable if he couldn¡¯t kill them in seconds with an attack power of 200!] [It¡¯s too terrifying! I¡¯m afraid not many people in this game can withstand such an attack, right?] [I dare say that before players reach level 10, anyone who encounters this weapon will be instantly killed!] [The attack power of this weapon is simply ridiculous!] [It¡¯s ridiculous. If I had this weapon, I could also fight 100 enemies without even blinking!] Other than its attack power, which shocked players the most, the other attributes of the weapon were also very impressive. For example, the attack speed and damage range of the weapon was extremely terrifying. Attack speed represented how many attacks a weapon could unleash in a short period. As for the range of damage, it was shown in the terrifying scene that Su Ping had just fought with those people. The damage range of the weapon was much wider than most firearms. It was why Su Ping had killed all the enemies in the vicinity with one attack. It was the result of the weapon¡¯s wide attack range. Apart from that, the weapon even had a special function, which was the halo effect! As long as they had Su Ping¡¯s approval or were Su Ping¡¯s teammates. As long as the person was near the weapon, he would receive a 30% attack bonus! The bonus would increase as Su Ping¡¯s level increased! It could be said that the strength of the weapon was enough for players to last until the later stages of the game! It was the terrifying power of the golden weapon. It could be said that it wasn¡¯t an existence that ordinary weapons could easily scam. [It¡¯s terrifying! This weapon can definitely be used forever. It won¡¯t be a problem even if I use it for fighting dozens of levels of monsters!] [That¡¯s right! This weapon is simply too terrifying. It¡¯s really hard to imagine how terrifying its power would be if I could get my hands on some more powerful golden weapons!] [I¡¯m starting to worry about the game¡¯s development in the later stages. For example, after one or two years of the game¡¯s official release, will the game become a scene of gods fighting?] [I don¡¯t think we need to worry about that. After all, it¡¯s Su Ping¡¯s game. I believe that Su Ping won¡¯t let us down in this aspect!] [That¡¯s right! Although sometimes Su Ping is a little mean when all the games he creates are top-notch, this time will be no exception!] [I hope Su Ping can maintain his usual style. Don¡¯t let us down!] Su Ping had naturally seen the comments. Therefore, he smiled and nodded. ¡°Everyone, you can rest assured about this. In fact, the rate of rewarding this kind of golden weapon in the game is less than one in a thousand. As for higher-level weapons, the rate is even lower.¡± ¡°It can be said that golden weapons are the best weapons that most players can have in the game. As players level up, the attributes and bonuses provided by these golden weapons will gradually be diluted.¡± ¡°Therefore, everyone, you don¡¯t have to worry about the value collapsing in the later stages of the game. I can guarantee this now. Please play with peace of mind!¡± The viewers were relieved after hearing Su Ping¡¯s words. Mostly, a game might have been running well, but suddenly, the game producer seemed to have gone crazy and exploited the future of the game. As a result, a game that was originally good would become a mess, which made many people who liked the game feel unacceptable. It was why so many people supported Su Ping unconditionally. It was because Su Ping had never let them down in this aspect. Su Ping¡¯s games guaranteed the players¡¯ experience. Chapter 271 - 271 Other Peoples Game Livestream 271 Other People¡¯s Game Livestream After Su Ping and Angelica stayed at the teleportation point for a while, he disappeared from the game. [Eh? Where did Su Ping go? I don¡¯t think I can see him. Is it the same for you guys too?] [Yes. Why is Su Ping gone? Did he go offline?] [What time is it? Did he go offline to make games?] [If Su Ping went offline because he wants to make games, then I support him. If he¡¯s just sneaking away to do something else, then we must call him back!] [Su Ping, come back and tell us what happened. Why did you suddenly disappear?] Many live stream room viewers noticed Su Ping¡¯s disappearance. They were all asking about it in the comments. They didn¡¯t seem to understand what was going on. At this moment, Angelica smiled and said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everyone. Su Ping is busy with other things. After all, he¡¯s not a game streamer like me.¡± ¡°Su Ping is a game producer, and he completes every game himself. You can imagine how much work he had to do, right?¡± ¡°But don¡¯t worry about it. Now that Ready Player One has started its beta test and it¡¯s an online game, there will be many opportunities for Su Ping and me to meet you all in the live stream.¡± ¡°And most of the time, it will be like today. Su Ping will be my teammate and companion in the game. He will play these games with me.¡± ¡°You can all look forward to Su Ping developing more interesting modes and gameplay!¡± After Angelica finished her words, everyone in the live stream room suddenly understood the situation. Since Angelica had said so, the live stream room viewers wouldn¡¯t say anything else. They wouldn¡¯t be so aggressive as to find trouble with Su Ping. Most of Su Ping¡¯s fans were of good character. Of course, it was also due to the way Su Ping had been interacting with his fans. Although he had a huge number of fans all over the world, Su Ping never acted like some popular artist. Su Ping would never promote himself and encourage his fans to support him in a brainless way. Therefore, Su Ping¡¯s approach attracted many rational people to become his fans. Angelica didn¡¯t quit the game after Su Ping left. She continued to experience more ways of playing in the world of Ready Player One. It could be said that even if a person didn¡¯t sleep, eat, or drink every day and played the game until the day of the official release, the person would still not be able to play all the gameplay in Ready Player One. It was because the game was too huge, and the content was quite rich. It was impossible to play it all in a short period. Besides, when the game was officially released, there would still be the main mission and story that Su Ping had told everyone about. Whether it was the gameplay that could be experienced at any time or the main storyline of the game, all of these contents were extremely appealing to every player who liked Ready Player One. It could even be said that ever since the beta test of Ready Player One officially began, many people dreamed that they had become beta testers and entered the world of Ready Player One to experience the fun of the game. Angelica ended her live stream late, but many viewers still didn¡¯t want to sleep. It was because everyone was too excited at the moment. Moreover, not everyone had strong self-control like Angelica. They couldn¡¯t stop playing their favorite games. Many beta testers might have never logged out of the game since the game server was first launched. Even when they were eating, their characters had to be online in the game. There would be a lot of beta testers staying in the game all night tonight, and there would also be many players who were preparing for the game¡¯s official release wandering around the live streaming rooms of various game streamers to watch the live streams and gain experience. Therefore, although Angelica had ended today¡¯s live stream, many viewers were still browsing the live streaming platform. Soon, the viewers found a good game streamer. It was PDD. PDD was originally a more popular streamer than Angelica, but her sudden fame made her leave everyone behind. Therefore, those popular streamers in the conventional sense seemed to be mediocre compared to Angelica. Basically, as soon as Angelica started streaming, a large number of players would flood into her live stream room, and they wouldn¡¯t go to other people¡¯s live stream rooms to watch their live stream. However, every time Angelica¡¯s live stream ended, the millions of viewers in her live stream room naturally began to look for other streams to fill their time. At this moment, a large number of viewers were pouring into PDD¡¯s live stream room. In just a few minutes, the number of concurrent viewers in his live stream room increased from 50,000 to nearly 300,000. While facing such a terrifying increase in numbers, PDD appeared very calm. It was because PDD had experienced such a situation many times, he was already very familiar with it and even felt that it was normal. Every time something like this happened, PDD knew that Angelica¡¯s live stream must have just ended, so the homeless viewers came to watch his live stream. Afterward, PDD paused the game and greeted the new viewers with a warm smile. ¡°Haha! Good evening, new friends. It seems that Angelica has finished her live stream. Am I right?¡± ¡°Since there are so many new friends, let¡¯s vote again to decide what to live stream next.¡± After saying it, PDD started a poll. There were several options inside, and each option corresponded to a type of gameplay in Ready Player One. As a popular streamer, it was naturally not a problem for PDD to obtain the qualification to participate in Ready Player One¡¯s beta test. As long as their influence and number of fans reached a certain level, they didn¡¯t need to draw a lottery like others. They would almost certainly be able to obtain the slot to participate in the beta test. PDD was one of them. Chapter 272 - 272 The Dancing Game 272 The Dancing Game Currently, PDD offers three options. Two of them were the surfing game that Angelica and Su Ping experienced together today and the battle on the death planet. The viewers had already watched the two games on Angelica¡¯s live stream. After Su Ping left, Angelica returned to the death planet to fight for a long time. It was because Angelica loved the feeling of killing monsters. Hence, the millions of live stream room viewers watched Angelica kill monsters for several hours. Therefore, everyone was tired of watching the gameplay on the death planet. Even if the environment and atmosphere of the death planet are perfectly created, the viewers won¡¯t be able to feel anything about the planet for a certain time. Hence, everyone focused their attention on the third option. It turned out that the third option was a dance game. The moment they saw the option, many live stream room viewers became a little confused. It was because PDD had always turned on his camera during his live stream. Moreover, everyone had seen the PDD¡¯s outdoor live stream many times and knew what he looked like. It could be said that even in the world of eating shows, PDD¡¯s figure was definitely quite top-notch. In the gaming community, there were probably not many people who were fatter than PDD. And now, a fat man like PDD has actually voted to experience a dance game? Was this guy crazy? Wasn¡¯t he trying to make a fool of himself? After seeing the option, many viewers immediately imagined PDD¡¯s round body swaying on the dance floor. At this moment, many viewers couldn¡¯t help but start laughing. The comments in the live stream room were also filled with many viewers teasing and even mocking PDD. After all, not every live stream room viewer was polite and friendly. Even in Angelica¡¯s live stream room, some vulgar comments made people want them to shut up. [What? Are you kidding me? PDD, when did you become such a person? You used to care about your reputation. What are you planning to do now? You don¡¯t care about your reputation now?] [Haha! Although I feel that this option given by PDD is ridiculous, I feel that at least your courage is commendable. Then I¡¯ll vote for the dance game.] [I want to see how PDD dances! It must be quite unpleasant to see!] [I can¡¯t take it anymore. Are you going to make us laugh ourselves to death tonight? It¡¯s not that we are laughing at your weight and figure. It¡¯s just that you really can¡¯t dance like this!] [Host, I suggest that you eat less high-calorie food and exercise more before trying to dance. This is a friendly reminder. I¡¯m not trying to discriminate against your figure and weight!] [Initially, I¡¯d only heard of the name ¡°PDD,¡± but I¡¯d never seen his live stream. Today, I¡¯m announcing that I¡¯ve become a fan. Just based on the host¡¯s courage, I have to support him today!] [I didn¡¯t expect to watch such an interesting show after Angelica ended her live stream. I must support him!] At this time, the number of comments in the live stream room had become very dense. After all, the traffic gathered by Angelica was enough for the other streamers to eat their fill. There were three options in the poll that PDD had initiated. The other two options received pitifully few votes. Only some people who had just started watching the live stream or were interested in surfing games and the battle on the death planet would vote on the first two options. Everyone else¡¯s choice was, naturally, the dance game. Everyone wanted to see what PDD looked like when he danced. Many people also looked at PDD in a new light because of this. After all, PDD¡¯s confidence was very attractive. Finally, after a few minutes, the voting session ended, and PDD showed the final results of the voting on the screen of his live stream room with a smile. PDD was surprised after seeing the voting results. He said. ¡°Aah! I didn¡¯t expect so many of you to vote for the dance game. I thought most of you would choose death planet or the surfing game.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect so many people to want to see me dance. Hehe, I¡¯m already starting to feel a little embarrassed.¡± ¡°However, since everyone has made such a choice, I can only reluctantly agree to everyone¡¯s request.¡± ¡°Next, I¡¯ll let everyone see how strong I am when it comes to dancing. Open your eyes wide. Don¡¯t miss the exciting content later!¡± Initially, many viewers chose to vote for the dance game because they wanted to see PDD make a fool of himself. However, no one had expected that at this moment, PDD would show such confidence and optimism. It was as if dancing was not difficult for him at all. Hearing it, some of the viewers couldn¡¯t help but start to tease PDD. [I seriously suspect that the host is just being stubborn. I wonder what everyone thinks.] [Do you have to think about it? He¡¯s obviously ready to act recklessly. He probably didn¡¯t expect that we would all let him dance. He¡¯s shooting himself in the foot this time.] [You¡¯re indeed worth being called a famous streamer for having such good acting skills. No one can tell that you¡¯re forcing yourself.] [However, it doesn¡¯t matter. Even if you dance badly, all of us will understand you.] [Am I the only one who feels the host really thinks that his dancing skills are great?] [PDD, you indeed live up to your name. Your actions match your name perfectly. I¡¯ve already recorded it. You can decide what to do.] Many viewers who were watching the show were even preparing to record the following dance and post it online. If PDD danced badly or made people laugh too much, once the matter spread, it would likely cause him some bad influence. However, PDD didn¡¯t look flustered in the live stream room. It was as if he had a plan for everything that was going to happen next, and victory was in his grasp. Finally, PDD connected to Ready Player One and re-entered the game world. When the players in the live stream room saw PDD¡¯s character in the game, they were instantly dumbfounded. It was because PDD¡¯s character in the game was a tall, thin, and handsome guy. Chapter 273 - 273 Be Careful in Online Love 273 Be Careful in Online Love [Fuck?! PDD, are you telling me that this is what your character in the game looks like? Are you kidding me?] [PDD, you¡¯re indeed slutty. You¡¯ve set your figure to be so handsome and have such a good figure in the game. Speaking of which, is it appropriate to do this?] [Although I feel that this image in the game doesn¡¯t look like the PDD at all, it seems that the characters in the game are randomly set up. They don¡¯t need to be designed according to their real-life image at all.] [In fact, there¡¯s nothing against the rules about this design. I was wondering why PDD was so confident just now. It turns out that he is waiting for everyone¡¯s reactions here.] [It¡¯s boring. Everyone, we can leave the live stream now. PDD doesn¡¯t even dare use his image. It¡¯s not interesting. What a coward!] [So there¡¯s such a high degree of freedom in this game. Haha! After the game is officially released, I¡¯ll definitely be a super handsome guy in the game and directly use the appearance of a real-life celebrity!] [Everyone, you must be careful of online dating in the game. The game is full of people like PDD. Don¡¯t be fooled by the other party¡¯s image in the game!] [Oh my goodness! Could it be that Ready Player One will eventually become an online dating platform? However, the credential of the player¡¯s image in the game is too unreliable!] [Be careful when dating online, brothers!] [You¡¯ll never know if the person you¡¯re dating online is the tall, thin, and handsome guy in the game or someone like PDD. The contrast between reality and the internet is too big.] Unknowingly, the topic of discussion in the live stream room had shifted from the game itself to the topic of online dating. It was a change that no one had expected. However, all of this was due to PDD¡¯s operation. Since most of the viewers in the live stream room were previously watching Angelica¡¯s live stream, they didn¡¯t know how PDD¡¯s character in Ready Player One looked. In the end, everyone had been tricked by PDD. But anyway, Angelica had already gone offline. There weren¡¯t many other streamers to watch. It was already very late. Even many popular streamers had chosen to go offline to rest. PDD was the most popular game streamer at this time. ¡°Alright, everyone, let¡¯s stop discussing this matter here. After all, what I did wasn¡¯t against the rules or the law. I think this is very reasonable.¡± ¡°The game is a person¡¯s second life. It allows people to experience a more dazzling world. Then why do we have to bear some of our shortcomings or regrets in the game world?¡± ¡°For example, if a person with a missing limb wants to play this kind of virtual reality game, do you have to ask his character in the game to be missing an arm or a leg?¡± ¡°So, everyone, I hope that you can look at these games more rationally. After all, games are meant to bring us happiness, not conflict.¡± ¡°Alright, now I¡¯m going to teleport to the place where I¡¯m participating in the dance game. I¡¯ve never joined a dance game before, so I don¡¯t know what this game is like.¡± After saying it, PDD quickly rushed to the nearest teleportation point and began to warp. The live stream room viewers were also emotional because of what PDD had just said. Immediately after its introduction, PDD received a lot of support. [Host, you¡¯ve said something good. Games should indeed bring us happiness, so there¡¯s no need to be so serious.] [That¡¯s right. If a person is fussy and nitpicky when watching games, then that person shouldn¡¯t play games in the first place. He should quickly find something serious to do.] [Host, your worldview is indeed upright. I must give you a like to support you!] Soon, PDD¡¯s body teleported to another planet. From the surface, the planet looked like a super large gaming hall. There were all kinds of entertainment facilities here, not just dance games, but all kinds of facilities that could be seen in various arcade cities in real life. However, on this planet, every facility had been aggressively modified by the game, giving players a completely different experience. When PDD arrived at the location of the dance game, he was completely dumbfounded by the scene in front of him. Initially, PDD thought that the dance game would either give every player a dance machine or a huge dance floor for players to dance in. However, what appeared in front of PDD was an incomparably huge abyss! The abyss was so deep that no one could see its bottom. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Isn¡¯t this place the location for the dance game? Why is there only a big hole here? Why is there nothing inside?¡± PDD looked at the scene in front of him and had no idea about what was going on. In this case, the live stream room viewers who couldn¡¯t even enter the game and didn¡¯t have the slot to participate in the beta test naturally had no idea too. At this moment, some viewers suddenly had sharp eyes. Perhaps they had seen some interesting places in the abyss, so they immediately commented. [PDD, hurry up and look at those flickering spots of light in the distance. Why do I feel like someone is moving?] [I saw it too. It seems like two people are dancing in the sky?] [What a magical place. Speaking of which, what¡¯s the right way to play here?] PDD looked at the scene in front of him while thinking about what to do through the guides in the comments. At this moment, a passerby suddenly walked over from not far away. This guy obviously couldn¡¯t recognize PDD. After all, the difference between PDD¡¯s appearance in the game and in reality was too big. The player came to the platform where PDD was. Suddenly, the player swung his arm forward, and a colorful platform appeared in the air in front of him. The platform was like one of the sides of a Rubik¡¯s cube, composed of many squares of different colors, and the size of the platform could be changed according to the user¡¯s thoughts. If only one person was dancing, the square was just big enough for the person to move around. If there were two people, the square area could be expanded to become a long platform. It was like an aircraft that could float in the air, providing a place for players to dance. The scene stunned PDD and the viewers. Chapter 274 - 274 Indulged in Dancing 274 Indulged in Dancing [Fuck?! It turns out that¡¯s how it works. It¡¯s interesting!] [I have to admire Su Ping¡¯s imagination. He¡¯s the only one who made a dance game like this!] [That¡¯s right! There are many similar types of games on the market now. Even in the virtual reality world, if you want to dance, you have to use a dance machine. It¡¯s so boring. I might as well find a dance machine in reality to play!] [PDD, look at him. Hurry up and make a platform for you to dance on!] Meanwhile, many live stream room viewers began to urge PDD to quickly join the dance. Obviously, the huge abyss in front of PDD wasn¡¯t for people to jump into and die. Instead, they used a floating platform to perform their dance moves in this three-dimensional space. The platform was very spacious. At this moment, the player who had entered the dance floor was already becoming more skilled. He started dancing as he pleased. It was like a leaf floating in the air, able to go anywhere it wanted. Seeing the scene, PDD naturally couldn¡¯t hold back the yearning in his heart. He immediately imitated the person from before and waved his arm toward the abyss in front of him. As expected, a platform that was flashing with all kinds of lights appeared in front of PDD. The abyss in front of PDD looked bottomless, making him worry that he might fall straight down after stepping on the platform. However, PDD still overcame the fear in his heart. After all, it was just a game. If he didn¡¯t dare experience it in the game, it would be too boring. PDD bravely took his first step. At first, he seemed to be a little cautious as he stretched his legs and stepped on the platform. However, the colorful platform floating in the air wasn¡¯t as superficial as he had imagined. Stepping on it was like stepping on the ground. PDD couldn¡¯t feel any instability at all. Therefore, after sensing the change, PDD became bolder. He quickly stepped on it. With just a thought, the colorful square platform began to float slowly toward the center of the dance floor. Entering the depths of the dance floor, PDD finally saw the other players dancing there. Many people came here in pairs to experience the joy of dancing. At this moment, PDD was a little regretful that he had not found a friend to play this dance game with him in advance. However, PDD quickly followed the music and got into the mood. The most ridiculous thing was that everyone on the dance floor could choose music to play through their panel. According to the different genres of music and the intensity of the music, the square under their feet would also produce a different frequency of color changes and flashes. It felt as if they were playing a musical game. Even stepping on the blocks gave them a sense of shock. The pleasure of both physical and mental enjoyment quickly got PDD in the mood, even though he was a fatty who had never danced before in reality. Here, PDD began to dance to the beat like a veteran, and there was no trace of awkwardness! ¡°This is amazing. Do you know? I feel like I¡¯m omnipotent now!¡± ¡°Oh my goodness! If the game is officially released in the future, I recommend that each of you find a companion to experience this dance game together!¡± Soon, PDD finished his first song. However, he still looked like he wanted to dance more. It was obvious that just experiencing it once was not enough to satisfy his love for this dance game. Afterward, without even looking at the screen, PDD started the second game. This time, he chose different music. The live stream room viewers were completely immersed in the scene in front of them. They didn¡¯t know what to say at all. [It¡¯s so scary. Every single game from Ready Player One could be considered an outstanding indie game, right?] [I can only say that this is Su Ping¡¯s ability. Only someone like Su Ping can develop such a perfect game!] [I thought that the war on the death planet was the pinnacle of the game, but now I realize that I was wrong. I was so wrong!] [That¡¯s right! Every single piece of content in this game is the best in any game. When the game is officially released, I must experience every single piece of content!] [Didn¡¯t you all say that PDD couldn¡¯t dance? Why is he dancing so skillfully?] [Maybe it¡¯s because this is a virtual world. Everything inside is different from reality.] [It¡¯s indeed everyone¡¯s second life. The world that Su Ping created perfectly displayed what a second life is like.] [By the way, if the hardware facilities can continue to develop, will Su Ping be able to create more miracles for us?] [Haha! I can¡¯t sleep now that you mention it. I want to see what our games will become after these virtual reality devices continue to develop!] Finally, after dancing three songs in a row, PDD finally walked off the dance floor with some fatigue. The three consecutive dances had already made PDD completely indulge in them. At this moment, PDD finally awakens. He shifted his attention to the comments in the live stream room and began to interact with many of the live stream room viewers. ¡°Everyone is right. This dance game is definitely one of the most worthwhile games in this game!¡± ¡°I bet that there must be more games in this game, perhaps even more amazing than this dance game!¡± ¡°After all, this is a game created by Su Ping. You can always trust Su Ping¡¯s creativity and imagination!¡± PDD was straightforward and praised Su Ping without hesitation. The live stream room viewers didn¡¯t have any other opinions. In everyone¡¯s eyes, Su Ping¡¯s games deserved such praise. It could even be said that Su Ping¡¯s excellence in developing games was beyond ordinary words. After a while, the atmosphere on PDD¡¯s live stream finally reached its peak. At the same time, the number of concurrent viewers broke through the million mark! Chapter 275 - 275 The Shocked Angelica 275 The Shocked Angelica It was already 7 a.m. when PDD ended his live stream. Before PDD ended his live stream, the number of concurrent viewers in his live stream room was still around a million. In other words, at least a million people had spent the entire night in PDD¡¯s live stream room! It was a terrifying number because most of the viewers needed to rest in the wee hours of the morning. Usually, some live streamers who would live stream for an entire night would only have tens of thousands of concurrent viewers. Such a result could already be considered the best in the field of evening live streams. This time, with the help of the popularity and attraction of Ready Player One, PDD made millions of people accompany him for the entire night. It undoubtedly proved how fun and attractive Ready Player One was. Even though PDD had ended his live stream for the day, many viewers still didn¡¯t go to bed immediately. Instead, they logged into the major game forums or directly posted on social media forums to discuss topics related to Ready Player One. Some even started to edit the video, editing all the interesting parts of PDD¡¯s live stream. Afterward, they would combine the videos and post them on video-sharing websites. These videos immediately attracted the attention of countless viewers. Nowadays, Ready Player One could bring great popularity. It could be said that as long as the video was hashtagged ¡°Ready Player One¡± and the content was slightly more attractive, the number of views would be terrifying. Now, many players couldn¡¯t play Ready Player One. They could only watch videos online every day to get spiritual food to make up for the fact that they couldn¡¯t play it for the time being. Soon, the video of the PDD¡¯s dance spread widely among the players. Especially the dance game in Ready Player One, which made countless people fascinated. [Fuck?! Is this the dance game in Ready Player One? It¡¯s so interesting! The game allows players to casually dance in the air?] [The settings of this dance game are amazing. It¡¯s like dancing in the sky. This is much more interesting than traditional dance machines!] [As someone who likes to play music games and is also good at dancing in real life, I can only say that just for this dance game, I have to download it and experience it!] [Are you guys all focused on the dance game and ignored the fact that the person dancing in this video is PDD?] [Pfft! If no one reminded me, I really wouldn¡¯t have noticed it. What¡¯s going on? Isn¡¯t PDD a fatty in real life? Why is he so handsome in the game? And tall and thin?] [So we can create our character¡¯s image in this game at will. Doesn¡¯t that mean that a man can even become a woman in the game?] [Damn! Brother, your idea seems to be feasible!] [It¡¯s ridiculous. Although I don¡¯t think the gender players choose in the game has much to do with reality, it still makes me feel a little out of place.] [Warning! Warning! After Ready Player One¡¯s official release, there might be a large number of players who don¡¯t match their real gender in the game. You have to be careful when dating online!] [I think Su Ping should slightly control the gender setting. If the real and virtual genders don¡¯t match in this kind of social game, I feel like it¡¯s deceiving people.] [No matter what, at least this game is as Su Ping said. It can be a second life!] [Yeah, it seems like I can experience a completely different life in the game!] [I¡¯m looking forward to Ready Player One¡¯s official release. Su Ping, hurry up!] ¡­ The popularity of Ready Player One quickly became a hot topic all over the world, no matter which country or region they were in. Even if one didn¡¯t pay attention to it, one would have at least heard of the game called Ready Player One. When Angelica turned on her live stream again that night, the live stream room was full of comments asking her to turn on Ready Player One and play the dance game. The viewers were urging Angelica to bring Su Ping along to play the dance game. [Host, stop wasting time. Call Su Ping and dance with him in Ready Player One!] [You must bring Su Ping along. Otherwise, it¡¯s not fun to dance alone!] [Su Ping, you don¡¯t have to thank us today. We¡¯ll create a good opportunity for you and Angelica. When you release new games in the future, just remember to lower the price!] [Host, did you see PDD¡¯s video this morning? That guy is so shameless. It turns out that he used a handsome face as his character image in the game!] [Angelica, can you show us how to change gender in this game?] Angelica was a little confused while looking at the overwhelming barrage of comments in the live stream room. Afterward, someone sent a link in the comments of the live stream room, and many people began to copy the link. They urged Angelica to click on the link to take a look. As a streamer who doted on her fans, Angelica certainly wouldn¡¯t refuse such a small request. Afterward, Angelica opened the link and entered a video website. As the video began to play, music started to play. Angelica looked at the person dancing in the video and suddenly thought of the title of the video. After a glance, her mouth suddenly opened into an O shape. Then Angelica said in surprise. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that the guy in the video is PDD, huh?¡± As soon as Angelica said it, the live stream room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. [Haha! Congratulations on getting it right. Unfortunately, there¡¯s no reward. The person in the video is PDD!] [Now that you understand what the comments meant. Speaking of which, why did you and Su Ping play the game while using your real-life image?] [Why isn¡¯t Su Ping here yet? Didn¡¯t we agree that you two would play games together often?] [Now that you¡¯ve finished watching the video, you should get into the game and dance with Su Ping!] [Is it because the host doesn¡¯t know how to dance and is worried that she might be exposed in the game, so she¡¯s deliberately stalling for time?] Angelica thought for a moment and then spoke faintly. ¡°Alright, since everyone wants to see me dance in the game so much, I¡¯ll go over now.¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t think Su Ping can play games with me today. He told me that he has something to do today.¡± Chapter 276 - 276 The Terrifying Cost 276 The Terrifying Cost While Angelica was live streaming, at the same time¡­ Although Su Ping didn¡¯t do a live stream with Angelica today, he still had a lot of important things to do. After all, Ready Player One was still in the beta test stage. To ensure that the game¡¯s official release wouldn¡¯t be delayed, Su Ping had to work with the game development companies. It was because Ready Player One was a huge game and extremely popular. Even Su Ping couldn¡¯t predict what kind of pressure the game server would face when the game was officially released. Nowadays, many game development companies¡¯ servers would stop working if hundreds of thousands of people were using them at the same time. Not to mention a game like Ready Player One. At that time, there would probably be tens of millions of people entering the game to create their characters and play. Moreover, as the time after the release of Ready Player One gradually extended, the number of players would continue to increase and accumulate. It was because Ready Player One wasn¡¯t just a single-player game but a large-scale game that included almost all the types of games that had appeared in history. It could even be said to be a completely parallel virtual world outside the real world! According to Su Ping and some of the game development company¡¯s experts estimated¡­ A year after Ready Player One was officially released, the number of registered players would probably exceed one billion! The number would double in five years! Ten years later, as long as the game could be continuously updated, there would be more content to attract players. By then, nearly half of the world¡¯s population would live in this virtual world! It was a terrifying ratio. In the entire history of gaming, there has never been a game that could achieve this. Therefore, the game hadn¡¯t been officially released yet. It was a good opportunity for Su Ping and the game company to lay a solid foundation for the game. During this period, Su Ping would stop the development of new games and would devote all his energy to cooperating with the game development companies. They would complete the largest server array in the world together. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. There was less than a week left until the official release of Ready Player One. In the past half a month, the popularity of Ready Player One has never decreased, and it has always maintained its position at the top of the search rankings! It was a very terrifying phenomenon. It meant that the number of people who paid attention to Ready Player One had always been the highest in the world. Moreover, as the day of the game¡¯s official release got closer and closer, the popularity of the game continued to rise, attracting more passersby to know the name of the game. ¡°Su Ping, there is only a week left until the official release. How are you and the game development companies doing? Are you confident about the game¡¯s release?¡± It was rare that Su Ping didn¡¯t have anything to do that day, so he and Angelica met at a restaurant. The two of them could talk about what they had been doing recently and have a meal together to strengthen their relationship. Even though Su Ping occasionally encountered Angelica in the game, the game was still virtual. The interface in the real world and face-to-face conversations would have the best effect on their relationship. Su Ping thought for a moment and replied calmly. ¡°Actually, I¡¯m not completely sure, because even the staff of the game development company can¡¯t predict how many people will rush into the server at the same time when the game officially releases.¡± ¡°It can be said that this is a bottomless pit. According to my estimation, this number is probably no less than 10 million.¡± ¡°Within a day of the game¡¯s official release, the number of registered users will probably break 100 million!¡± ¡°Just imagine how terrifying it would be if 100 million people suddenly flooded the server in a short time! ¡± ¡°This kind of challenge has never appeared in the entire history.¡± Su Ping smiled and continued. ¡°Fortunately, I¡¯ve reached an agreement with all those large game development companies. This time, I can use all of their strength to gather and form a super server array. ¡± ¡°And did you know that there are a total of ten supercomputers providing computing and control services to this super server array?¡± After Angelica heard it, she widened her eyes in shock and stared at Su Ping in disbelief. ¡°What? Does this server actually use ten supercomputers? Are you kidding me?¡± Su Ping shook his head and said seriously. ¡°Of course, I¡¯m not joking with you. It¡¯s just ten supercomputers, which is the minimum number we have determined after our estimation.¡± ¡°Only a supercomputer can stabilize the operation of the entire server. Otherwise, if any part of the server encounters data turbulence or collapses¡­¡± ¡°By then, tens of millions of players in the game will be kicked out of the game, and this kind of thing might happen often.¡± ¡°It is obviously something we can¡¯t accept.¡± Meanwhile, Angelica said worriedly. ¡°Even so, the cost of ten supercomputers is too high. Is it really worth it?¡± Su Ping¡¯s eyes suddenly became determined. He spoke seriously. ¡°If the players think it¡¯s worth it, then it¡¯s worth it.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just the game¡¯s producer. The value of the game isn¡¯t decided by me, but by every player who joins the game.¡± ¡°As long as everyone is happy in the game and is willing to stay in my game, I¡¯m willing to bear the cost of a hundred supercomputers!¡± ¡°Besides, I¡¯m not fighting alone now. I have the most powerful game development companies in the world behind me.¡± ¡°Therefore, I don¡¯t need to fork out too much money for the components and investments of the server this time. Most of it will be split equally between a few game development companies.¡± ¡°The only price I have to pay is a share of the future income from the game. But since I¡¯ve already earned so much money and I can¡¯t spend it all¡­¡± ¡°Money means nothing to me anymore.¡± ¡°There is also a clause in the contract that says I¡¯ll always have absolute control of the game. Unless I take the initiative to transfer control!¡± Chapter 277 - 277 A Companion 277 a companion after the meal, angelica felt like a lifetime had passed. angelica had gotten a lot of information from su ping during the meal. whether it was the server array formed by ten supercomputers or the billions of players that the game might have in the future. if any of this information were exposed on the internet now, it would probably cause chaos. it was because there had never been a game that required such a high price to operate. of course, since su ping was going to build a second world outside of the real world, the cost wasn¡¯t that ridiculous. however, as the number of players continued to increase, ready player one would definitely require higher-quality serves. moreover, the server needed to be continuously upgraded to meet the needs of the players. of course, that was for later. su ping didn¡¯t need to think about it now. after the meal, angelica and su ping walked out of the restaurant. ¡°what are we going to do next? are you going home? but you don¡¯t have anything to do today, right?¡± angelica asked faintly, but there was a hint of expectation in her eyes. of course, su ping knew what kind of answer angelica wanted. after all, they had known each other for a long time, and he knew her well. su ping shook his head and smiled. ¡°i¡¯ve basically done my work. as long as the game development company follows the schedule and completes all the tasks, there won¡¯t be too many problems during the game¡¯s official release.¡± ¡°by the way, it seems like many days have passed since we last met, right? how about we do this today?¡± ¡°i can accompany you to go shopping outside. after dinner, i¡¯ll go to your house and do a live stream together. how about that?¡± ¡°didn¡¯t you tell me before that the live stream room viewers have been urging you to find me so that we can do a live stream together?¡± hearing it, angelica couldn¡¯t hide the joy in her eyes. even though angelica was trying her best to control her emotions and not act so childish in front of su ping, she couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°hehe, then we¡¯ll do as you say. you can¡¯t regret it. a man must keep his word!¡± su ping smiled. ¡°of course. do i look like the kind of person who would go back on my word?¡± angelica took su ping to the most prosperous place in the city. there was a pedestrian street and a shopping mall there. su ping stayed by angelica¡¯s side for the whole afternoon. when the sun gradually set, su ping was carrying many bags. angelica was embarrassed. she wanted to take some for herself, but su ping refused. the reason for the rejection made angelica blush, and her heart beat fast. ¡°i¡¯m so busy with work that i rarely have time to accompany you. how can i let you carry things yourself now?¡± although su ping didn¡¯t express his love for her, his companionship and understanding made angelica feel warm and touched. soon, they finally arrived at angelica¡¯s house after dinner. angelica didn¡¯t know what was going on with her today. after they entered and closed the door, she suddenly felt her cheeks burning. angelica felt that the room was a little hot, and she was too embarrassed to look at su ping. at this time, angelica would keep having all kinds of messy thoughts in her mind, making her unable to concentrate. those thoughts made angelica¡¯s face turn red, and she looked very shy. meanwhile, angelica thought, ¡°su ping had been to my house several times and nothing like this has happened before. what is going on with me today?¡± however, su ping looked as if nothing had happened. he didn¡¯t seem to notice angelica¡¯s condition, so she didn¡¯t say anything. soon, both of them came to angelica¡¯s usual live stream room and started the live stream. at this moment, there were already many fans waiting for angelica to officially start her live stream. [why angelica hasn¡¯t started the live stream today? what time is it now?!] [i feel that the situation today is a bit strange. if it were in the past, angelica would probably have started her live stream by now! but today, there¡¯s no news at all!] [do you think there¡¯s a possibility that angelica isn¡¯t going to do her live stream today? maybe she went out with su ping!] [no way¡­ su ping hasn¡¯t shown up on the live stream for a long time. i don¡¯t think he has time to come out and play, right?] [who knows? anyway, if angelica doesn¡¯t do the live stream tonight, everyone must go to su ping¡¯s post and tag him. tell him to release angelica as soon as possible!] [by the way, why should we tag su ping while angelica is the one who didn¡¯t do her live stream?] [i¡¯ve found a new viewer! it¡¯s because su ping and angelica are a couple! isn¡¯t that su ping¡¯s fault if we don¡¯t know why angelica didn¡¯t do her live stream?] [i see. i got it!] looking at the comments, angelica suddenly realized that su ping was sitting next to her. her face blushed. however, angelica didn¡¯t try to explain as hard as before because what everyone said was right. angelica and su ping hadn¡¯t confessed to each other yet. they hadn¡¯t done anything intimate that could only be done between couples. in other aspects, they were no different from a real couple. otherwise, su ping wouldn¡¯t have spent more than half a day shopping with angelica. after a while, angelica finally prepared all the things needed for the live stream, and she also debugged all the equipment in the room. ¡°then i¡¯m going to start the live stream. you don¡¯t have anything to do later, right? otherwise, you¡¯d better tell me now.¡± su ping shook his head. ¡°let¡¯s start the live stream. i believe the live stream room viewers can¡¯t wait any longer.¡± angelica nodded and turned on the camera to start her live stream. a few seconds later, their faces appeared on the screen. when the live stream room viewers found that su ping and angelica appeared at the same time, everyone was pleasantly surprised. Chapter 278 - 278 It Turns Out That Angelica Has Carsick 278 it turns out that angelica has carsick [holy shit! su ping is doing a live stream with angelica today!] [haha! i knew that angelica was with su ping. i knew it!] [so, angelica, the reason why you¡¯re so late is that you spent the whole day with su ping, right?] [alright, you¡¯re a little late today, but since you¡¯re doing the live stream with su ping, i¡¯ll forgive you!] [host, i hope you can pay more attention in the future. even if you¡¯re doing a live stream with su ping, don¡¯t be too late!] [are the two of you going to play games together in the same live stream room tonight?] [so, what¡¯s the content of tonight¡¯s live stream? what do you guys plan to play together?] meanwhile, the live stream room viewers were curious. they began to ask su ping and angelica about the content of their live stream. some people were asking what they had been doing during the day. the fans of the two were naturally curious. after all, for them, the content of the live stream might not be the most important. they just wanted to get some gossip from su ping and angelica. seeing the comments, angelica smiled and said. ¡°those who asked me what su ping and i were doing during the day, please stop spamming. we just had dinner and went shopping.¡± even though angelica thought that what she did with su ping was normal, after she said that, the stream was filled with teasing from many netizens and fans. some people even laughed as they commented, teasing the relationship between the two or sending comments in an ambiguous tone. [hehe! you two definitely not just shopping and eating. you must have done something you like to do!] [that¡¯s right! otherwise, why would angelica be late for today¡¯s live stream? do you need so long time to take a meal?] [boohoo! as angelica¡¯s fan, i think su ping is a good match for her, but i still feel sad when i think about it!] [su ping, you have to treat angelica well. if we find out that you bullied her, you¡¯ll be dead meat!] angelica blushed when she saw the comments. su ping, on the other hand, looked calm. he smiled and said. ¡°don¡¯t make wild guesses. angelica and i are just eating and shopping. if anyone spams this comment again, i¡¯ll ban him!¡± ¡°well, today angelica and i will enter ready player one together and live streaming playing games to you all.¡± ¡°if there¡¯s anything you want to see, you can type it in the comments. angelica and i will choose something that we are interested in experiencing.¡± ¡°i¡¯ll let everyone in on a little secret. although i¡¯m the game¡¯s producer, i haven¡¯t played many games myself after they were developed.¡± ¡°that¡¯s why i¡¯m the same as you guys. i¡¯m also a newbie player.¡± su ping¡¯s previous words made many live stream room viewers have a rebellious mentality. they kept repeating their previous remarks. of course, su ping was just joking. as long as the comments weren¡¯t too harsh, su ping wouldn¡¯t ban anyone. however, su ping¡¯s last words surprised many viewers. after all, su ping was a game producer. it was hard to understand why he hadn¡¯t even experienced his own game. [that¡¯s impossible. you¡¯re the one who developed the game. if you haven¡¯t played it yourself, how do you know if the game is interesting or not?] [that¡¯s right. su ping, don¡¯t pretend to be a newbie. if you¡¯re bad at playing games, just admit it. no one will laugh at you anyway.] [su ping is good at making excuses for himself. a person who is bad at games should have the awareness of being bad. don¡¯t make excuses!] [su ping, you are a noob at games. stop pretending!] seeing the comments, angelica laughed gloatingly. su ping felt helpless. although he was the game¡¯s producer, why didn¡¯t the players believe him? however, all of this was just a small interlude at the beginning of the live stream. it played a very good role in enlivening the atmosphere of the live stream room. the most important thing was, of course, what kind of game the two of them would play. at this moment, the live stream room comments were filled with all kinds of game names. after more than half a month of beta testing, the players who participated in the beta test weren¡¯t the only ones who experienced a lot of content. even those who didn¡¯t qualify for the beta test, as long as they were fond of ready player one, would basically hang around the live stream rooms of the major streamers during this time. streamers didn¡¯t need to draw the beta test qualification. they could directly obtain the slot, so they naturally invested a lot of time into the game during this period. therefore, many viewers who weren¡¯t qualified for the beta test learned a lot about ready player one through the live streams. moreover, everyone was quite familiar with the various gameplay styles of ready player one. it could be said that they knew them like the back of their hands. [death planet! angelica hasn¡¯t been to that battlefield for a long time. i heard that she just changed her equipment a while ago. i want to see how powerful she is!] [it¡¯s rare for the two of you to live-stream together today. why don¡¯t you return to the starting point of this game and experience the surfing game again?] [the host has played the first two games many times, alright? it¡¯s not interesting at all. in my opinion, i want to see them play the racing game!] [the racing game is good too! however, angelica has never played this type of game before. is she feeling carsick?] [now that you mention it, it seems like it¡¯s true. no matter what game angelica plays, she rarely drives in the game.] [we seem to have found something amazing. angelica, as a high-level player, has carsick!] [haha! mystery solved. no wonder angelica always rode a motorcycle instead of a car when she was playing the zombie apocalypse. it turns out to be because of this!] [i announce that angelica¡¯s carsick will appear in tomorrow¡¯s headlines!] [haha! look at the host¡¯s expression now. she¡¯s about to explode from anger. which brother discovered this secret just now? step forward!] Chapter 279 - 279 The Racing Game 279 the racing game soon, the live stream room viewers reached an agreement in the comments. most of them were asking su ping and angelica to play the racing game. as long as they could get first place in the racing game, they would be able to obtain extremely generous game coins rewards. moreover, the experience points provided by the game were also very considerable. of course, the previous surfing game¡¯s difficulty couldn¡¯t be compared to the racing game. it was because, in the racing game, players not only had to race with others but also surpass other players. moreover, there were many unexpected troubles on the track of this game. for example, there might be some insurmountable obstacles on the road. as long as the car accidentally crashed into them, the entire car and the people inside would be smashed into pieces. another example was the tyrannosaurus rex that spawned on the race track in this game. the tyrannosaurus rex ran on the street with its huge body, and the players had to be careful to avoid the tyrannosaurus rex¡¯s trampling. otherwise, with a single kick from the tyrannosaurus rex, the players who were still alive before might have turned into gold coins on the ground. there was also a final boss in the game, an extremely huge gorilla named king kong! the gorilla would appear before the finish line of the race track. until now, no player had ever been able to escape from it and successfully reach the finish line of the race track. in other words, until now, no one had been able to officially clear the racing game! the final ranking of the game was only based on who could rush further, but no one could really clear all the levels in the game. when su ping heard that it was this game, many scenes he had seen in movies immediately appeared in his mind. after all, the reason why su ping created the game was to recreate the movie he had seen in his previous life. and it would be best if su ping could turn the game in the movie into reality. after all, the world su ping was in now had mature virtual reality technology. su ping said with a smile as he read the messages urging him. ¡°since everyone wants us to play the racing game, angelica, let¡¯s try it.¡± ¡°i heard that no one has been able to clear the game until now. i wonder if you can successfully clear this game?¡± angelica smiled and said. ¡°don¡¯t flatter me here. didn¡¯t the viewers already say that no one has successfully cleared the game yet?¡± ¡°i¡¯m just a pretty good game streamer. i¡¯m not omnipotent.¡± ¡°there are so many players who can¡¯t clear the stage. i probably can¡¯t do it either.¡± angelica rolled her eyes at su ping. many viewers fell in love with her angry look. then, everyone started to curse su ping. the good cabbage was eaten by a pig! as for the relationship between su ping and angelica, most viewers had already accepted it and felt relieved. however, many people had a crush on angelica, or they used a girl like angelica as a standard to find their girlfriends in the future. now that they saw angelica and su ping being so intimate, they weren¡¯t happy. however, they couldn¡¯t do anything, which was the most infuriating thing! [angelica, don¡¯t be modest. everyone knows your strength. if others can¡¯t clear this racing game, it doesn¡¯t mean that you can¡¯t either!] [that¡¯s right. sometimes, being humble is a virtue. but if you¡¯re very powerful and still pretend to be humble, then it¡¯s a little boring.] [cut the crap. just join the racing game with su ping. i heard that the game is very difficult. even the game streamers like pdd and mikuya were beaten to a pulp!] [haha! i wonder if the race car driven by angelica and su ping will be crushed by the tyrannosaurus rex or the gorilla?] [i think angelica has a chance to clear the game!] just as the live stream room viewers were discussing the next game. su ping and angelica had already started to teleport. in the blink of an eye, the two of them had arrived at a place that looked like a highway. it was the location of where starting point of the racing game. as long as the number of people gathered at the game venue reached a certain size, the game would automatically start the countdown. after the countdown, the game would officially begin. before that, players could prepare for the game. for example, players could summon their racing car or chat with other people near the track. perhaps they could meet like-minded partners here. they would help each other in the following competition and stop the others behind to obtain a better ranking. the race track seemed to be located in a city. at this time, the city in the distance still seemed peaceful. nobody could see the tyrannosaurus rex or the gorilla that the other viewers had mentioned. some of the viewers who had never seen other streamers¡¯ live streams before were confused. [didn¡¯t someone say that we would encounter a tyrannosaurus rex and a gorilla in this racing game? why didn¡¯t i see anything? could it be a lie?] [that¡¯s right. the race track in this game looks so flat. how can it be difficult? isn¡¯t it easy for angelica to clear this game?] [can you guys be more patient? the game hasn¡¯t even started yet. how can those challenges in the game appear now?] [there are too many cloud gamers in the live stream room. please watch the live streams of other streamers!] [damn! everyone is watching the live stream in the live stream room, alright? how can the term cloud gamer appear? if that¡¯s the case, aren¡¯t all of us cloud gamers? there are only a total of 100,000 slots to participate in the beta test!] [haha, you¡¯re right! actually, everyone is a cloud gamer now. after all, the game hasn¡¯t officially been released!] the atmosphere in the live stream room had already become quite heated. at this time, the number of people gathered on the track finally exceeded the system¡¯s requirements. the indicator light in front of the track began to change from red to green. as long as the row of indicator lights turned green, the gate of the race track would open with a bang, and the racing game would officially begin! at this moment, su ping and angelica summoned their racing cars and were ready to join the game. Chapter 280 - 280 Passionate Race 280 passionate race in fact, su ping knew how to win the racing game. after all, su ping wasn¡¯t only the game¡¯s producer¡­ su ping also watched the movie ready player one in another world. when su ping thought about it, he turned around to look behind him. there was a slope, and at the bottom of the slope was a metal wall. however, su ping knew that it was a door! however, no one paid attention to what was happening behind them. after all, it was a racing game. everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on the front from the moment they arrived. in fact, the racing game should have been related to the game¡¯s main storyline, according to the game¡¯s arrangement. however, since the game was still in the beta testing stage, many things still needed to be optimized. as a result, the racing game became independent like other games, allowing players to experience the game without the plot. of course, when the game is officially released to the public in the future, it will only exist in the story. it wouldn¡¯t be open to anyone at any time like it is now, and anyone could challenge it at any time. finally, su ping and angelica entered their racing cars. then, the indicator light on the door in front of them turned green. numerous racing engines could be heard on the road, and some of the players behind them had their vision obscured by the smoke created by tire friction. everyone stepped on the accelerator at the same time, and countless racing cars instantly rushed out. everyone¡¯s speed quickly increased to a terrifying level. their speed couldn¡¯t be allowed by the law in the real world. even on the highway, the terrifying speed would inevitably lead to a car crash and death. however, it was different now. this was the game world! if players died here, they would at the very least start over. for every player who came to participate in this game, there was nothing more attractive than reaching the finish line and getting first place in the game. as the game progressed, all sorts of obstacles and difficulties that the system had already arranged appeared one after another. for example, the ground in front of the car suddenly lifted during the driving process, causing some people to be unable to react in time and turn the steering wheel. their entire hovercar crashed into the mud wall in front of it, and the entire hovercar, including the people inside, turned into gold coins on the ground. another example was when the goods on a truck that was moving forward on the road suddenly began to roll down. the truck was carrying a massive metal cylinder as its cargo. the metal barrels were scattered on the road and kept rolling, which was equivalent to countless traps. with the high speed of the racing car, it would be a fatal crash. some of them didn¡¯t react in time either and crashed into the ground, turning it into a pile of gold coins. fortunately, the difficulty of these checkpoints meant nothing to angelica and su ping. the two of them reacted quickly. the moment the dangers appeared, they had already turned the steering wheel and adjusted the direction in time to avoid them. at this moment, the speed competition on the road had already entered a heated stage. everyone had already sealed the accelerator and accelerated crazily, just wanting to surpass everyone and become the first in this game. even many live stream room viewers were holding their breaths and focusing all their attention on the game. although it was just a game, everyone could feel as if they were there because of the virtual reality technology. it was as if everyone was racing in the real world. [what an exciting racing game! i¡¯ve played many racing games, but there¡¯s no doubt that this game of ready player one shocked me the most!] [that¡¯s right! i wonder what su ping¡¯s brain is made of. how can he make all kinds of games so well?] [su ping¡¯s strength is too terrifying. even if this racing game is independent, it¡¯s still an excellent game!] [to be more precise, any game from ready player one would be the best in the gaming field!] [now, su ping and angelica seem to be lagging behind the first place. is angelica going to lose first place this time?] [i feel like angelica hasn¡¯t used her full strength yet. do you know what¡¯s going on? angelica¡¯s car hasn¡¯t reached the fastest speed yet. what is she doing?] [did su ping tell angelica some secret? is that why angelica didn¡¯t go full speed ahead?] [look, the tyrannosaurus rex has appeared!] someone sent a comment that attracted everyone¡¯s attention to the screen. as expected, a terrifyingly huge tyrannosaurus rex suddenly barged into the originally busy road. the tyrannosaurus rex was running at high speed on the streets. its thick legs stepped on the ground, causing the entire city to tremble violently. even su ping and angelica, who were driving, could feel the ground shaking. some of the more unlucky ones were driving in the direction of the tyrannosaurus rex, and their reaction wasn¡¯t fast enough. the moment the tyrannosaurus rex came out, those players were trampled into meat paste along with their cars. of course, in this game, they had already become gold coins. at this moment, one or two of the racing cars behind them suddenly opened their doors, and the players inside took out a small box. the box seemed to have a strong attraction. it directly sucked in all the gold coins that the players in front of it had dropped to the ground after they died! seeing the scene, many live stream room viewers were instantly dumbfounded. however, since everyone had seen such scavengers on the battlefield of the death planet, they were now immune to such behavior. [it¡¯s this kind of corpse picker again. what¡¯s the purpose of this kind of person playing this game?] [although their behavior doesn¡¯t violate any rules, i still feel that if it¡¯s done on purpose, then this game is meaningless.] [that¡¯s right! it¡¯s just a game. why do they have to pick up the gold coins that fell after someone died?] [everyone has their own way of playing. maybe they like the feeling of picking up gold coins everywhere. we should respect other people¡¯s choices!] [didn¡¯t you see that su ping didn¡¯t say anything? that means su ping supports their actions!] [su ping is driving. he didn¡¯t have time to notice this!] Chapter 281 - 281 The Finishing Line 281 the finishing line as the game progressed, the number of players still alive on the battlefield was rapidly decreasing. of course, it was also because some players might choose to quit the game during the game. after all, once a player died in a game like ready player one, all the experience points and equipment they had previously obtained would be reset to zero. the situation was unacceptable to every player. even if everyone was still in the beta testing stage, they couldn¡¯t accept such a thing. after all, players believed that they must have an advantage over others since they were beta testers. if a beta tester couldn¡¯t accumulate enough advantages before the game¡¯s official release, then it would be meaningless. however, angelica and su ping were the hosts. they wouldn¡¯t quit the game. su ping had never thought of such a thing, even though he might face the risk of death in the game. ¡°angelica, should we continue?¡± ¡°if we keep going forward, we¡¯ll reach the place where king kong appears. if we keep going forward, king kong might kill us with a slap.¡± however, su ping still decided to ask angelica for her opinion. he wanted to see if she would choose to move forward or stop. angelica smiled without thinking. ¡°aren¡¯t you the game¡¯s producer? if the two of us are killed by that king kong later, can¡¯t you just archive the game?¡± as soon as angelica said it, countless comments appeared in the live stream room. moreover, everyone started to spew the word ¡°cheating¡± in unison. when su ping saw the situation, he rolled his eyes at angelica and said calmly. ¡°of all the things you said, you insisted that i could archive the game. now they think that i can control this game as i please!¡± su ping looked at the camera and explained it to the viewers. ¡°everyone, please don¡¯t believe angelica¡¯s words. how can i possibly have the ability to archive the game?¡± ¡°although i¡¯m the game¡¯s producer, the game¡¯s servers are all at the game development companies.¡± ¡°and i¡¯m not that kind of person at all. why would i choose to archive the data in the game? don¡¯t be fooled by angelica. i don¡¯t have that ability at all!¡± ¡°besides, you might not be able to imagine how huge and complicated the data of the game is.¡± ¡°even if i wanted to, i couldn¡¯t do it!¡± su ping was trying his best to explain the situation to the live stream room viewers sincerely. however, the viewers didn¡¯t seem to be buying it. [stop quibbling. we all believe angelica!] [that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. you¡¯re a crazy producer, and you still don¡¯t want to admit that you have the ability?] [su ping, su ping, can you help me archive my character in this game? i was killed by a monster when i was fighting on the death planet. i lost all the experience i had accumulated in the past half a month. please help me!] [haha! is the previous comment telling the truth? did you really die in the game? that¡¯s great!] [thank you, brother. i feel much better after hearing your words. after all, i didn¡¯t get the slot to participate in the beta test. thank you for your comfort.] [su ping, stop pretending. everyone knows that you can archive the game!] [angelica is such a good woman. she cares about us players, unlike some people who do everything secretly.] [that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. you didn¡¯t admit it when we discovered it. you still insisted to be stubborn!] su ping was rendered speechless by the viewer¡¯s tease. angelica, who was the culprit of all this, covered her mouth and laughed secretly. su ping felt helpless. besides, su ping was a gentle person. he wasn¡¯t the kind of person who would be too particular about trifles. he wouldn¡¯t say anything bad to angelica. besides, su ping knew that angelica was just teasing him. since he was still in the racing game, su ping didn¡¯t have much time to deal with the comments. su ping could only keep the matter in mind for the time being and explain it to the viewers after the racing game ended. afterward, su ping and angelica drove the car forward. at this time, the number of opponents they could see on the road was much smaller. because of su ping and angelica¡¯s superb driving skills, although they weren¡¯t in the first place, they were not far from the people in front. in fact, su ping had intentionally placed them in this position. before the competition officially began, su ping had even informed angelica of his decision through his private channel. su ping deliberately let angelica slow down a little with him so that she wouldn¡¯t fall out of the first echelon, but she wouldn¡¯t run in front either. angelica was confused when she heard su ping¡¯s message. she didn¡¯t know why su ping asked her to do this. however, angelica would trust su ping unconditionally. she knew that su ping had his reasons for doing this. therefore, angelica didn¡¯t say anything. she chose to accept su ping¡¯s suggestion. finally, a long, straight path appeared in front of them. at the end of the path, it seemed to be the end of the competition. of course, the path wasn¡¯t complete. at the end of the path was a wide cliff. the path was suddenly cut off in the air, and the end of the game was at the bottom of the path. at this moment, many live stream room viewers also saw the place that was similar to a high-altitude platform through the live stream room. everyone expressed their opinions. [it looks like we can fly over this platform by car. as long as our skills are strong, we can land steadily without rolling in the air!] [that¡¯s right. the platform is higher than the ending point. as long as we can control our speed and direction, it doesn¡¯t seem to be as difficult as i think.] [but why has no one ever completed this game before? why?] [of course, it¡¯s because they were scared. no one dared try to jump!] [what a bunch of cowards!] Chapter 282 - 282 Coward 282 coward after all, most of the live stream room viewers weren¡¯t qualified for the beta test, so they couldn¡¯t enter the game to experience the content of ready player one. it created a phenomenon. although many live stream room viewers now have a much better understanding of ready player one¡­ however, their understanding was based on the gaming experience of the streamers they had watched. they could only increase their knowledge by watching live streams. as a result, although they seemed to know a lot about the game, they only knew a part of it. after all, they couldn¡¯t experience it personally, so they naturally couldn¡¯t notice many details in the game. no one had been able to successfully clear the racing game for such a long time. it was impossible to say that no one had tried it before. it was just that those game streamers cherished their levels and experience, as well as their equipment and gold coins, so they didn¡¯t choose to take the risk. as for the dangers of the finish line, only the players who had tried and paid the price would understand! as the race progressed, the few players leading the way were about to reach the high platform at the end of the track. the racing cars operated by them all had different styles and attributes, but there was no doubt that they were extremely fast and powerful. to be able to become the best in this racing game meant that these players themselves were the best among the players. as the end of the race track approached, these people began to face a choice. should they step on the accelerator and choose to fly from the end of the road to the game¡¯s finishing line? after rushing over, one could achieve achievement and become the first person to clear the game. however, if something unexpected happened, all the resources that one had accumulated over the past half a month would be wiped out! even if equipment and gold coins could be kept by their friends in advance to prevent them from being lost in the event of death. however, the experience points lost were all earned over time! even a gaming expert could only get a limited amount of experience in a day! the benefit of being a beta tester would be at least halved once they lost the experience points as a result of the risk. su ping and angelica weren¡¯t far behind them. they were curious about what the leading players would do. the live stream room viewers were also watching and looking forward to their choices. [don¡¯t tell me any of those guys in front of us don¡¯t dare rush out and try to reach the finish line, huh?] [who knows? no one has been able to clear this game successfully until now. it must be because of these cowardly beta testers. if they were bolder, they would have cleared all these games long ago!] [that¡¯s right. if none of the players in front of us dare rush over and try. i will look down on them forever!] [go ahead! your racing car is so fast, how can you not make it? it¡¯s all because of your cowardice!] [if those people in front don¡¯t charge, su ping, can you take angelica and charge forward with you?] [angelica, you¡¯re a streamer. you can¡¯t be scared in such a situation!] the viewers were urging angelica and su ping not to be timid. the players in the game were being told to keep going and not to be alarmed by the cliff ahead at the same time by the viewers. su ping was curious about what the people in front of him would do. would they choose to rush over or stop here? finally, the people in front reached the finish line of the track. based on the speed of their car, it would only take a few more seconds for it to completely rush out and enter the cliff ahead. at the same time, among the racing cars¡­ in fact, the players who were moving forward were also a little nervous. after all, the cliff had become notorious in the game. everyone was saying that there was something wrong with the cliff. the cliff would lead to the deaths of the players. no one had ever been able to truly cross the cliff. therefore, the players were also very worried. they didn¡¯t know what would happen if they rushed out. there was no shortage of bold players, even though the cliff made many people feel fear, worried that they would lose their lives here and all their experience. however, some people still chose to try. at this moment, a total of three cars had arrived at the end of the track and were about to enter the cliff ahead. at first, the three cars looked like they were going to rush all the way. however, two of the cars suddenly stepped on the brakes the moment they reached the end of the track. afterward, the two cars drifted and stopped at the edge of the track at the last moment. they didn¡¯t rush over. only one car was left, and it charged toward the cliff ahead without hesitation. at this moment, everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on the car. everyone¡¯s gaze was naturally filled with admiration. after all, it took a lot of courage to choose to take risks in this game where one would lose all experience points if they died. [someone has rushed out. i wonder if he will be the first to clear the stage!] [i hope he can make it through successfully. the first place is a medal for the brave!] [haha! i wish this player the best of luck. after all, this way, people won¡¯t have to worry about this in the future.] [let¡¯s rush over, brother. be the first person to clear this game!] at this moment, countless players in the live stream room were blessing the person who rushed forward. it was as if they were also in the race and rushing into the distance. even su ping and angelica didn¡¯t expect this. after all, they didn¡¯t expect that the choices of a few passersby would make the entire game a little different. moreover, the atmosphere in the live stream room could be said to be quite enthusiastic. everyone was looking forward to seeing what kind of performance the racing car would have. soon, the racing car left the ground and flew into the air. the driver of the racing car was obviously very experienced. as long as he continued to move forward and followed the parabola in the air, he would reach the finish line smoothly! could he clear the stage smoothly? it was a question that everyone in the live stream room didn¡¯t know the answer to. Chapter 283 - 283 The Power of King Kong 283 the power of king kong the racing car flew in the air as if there were a pair of invisible wings supporting it as it continued moving forward. at this moment, everyone in the live stream room subconsciously held their breaths because no one knew what the ending of this journey would be. some people even forgot to breathe because everyone was too focused. as the racing car continued to move forward in the air, everyone in the live stream room widened their eyes. was he really going to succeed? was he going to become the first winner in the history of this game? if this person could succeed, then he would undoubtedly create the history of this game. after all, the game was still in the beta test stage, and all the achievements and fields of the game were still being explored. at such a time, it was easiest for players to obtain a good reputation in the game. moreover, many achievements in the game could allow players to enjoy a higher reputation among the entire community. it was a goal that every player wanted to pursue. after all, ready player one was no longer a standalone game but an online game. then the achievements that players could achieve in this game would naturally be higher. even in su ping¡¯s previous standalone games, many people pursued all kinds of achievements. such an achievement would give one a sense of satisfaction, and it was the same for these players. a second later, the player who was flying in the air sat in his racing car, his nerves tensing up. his gaze was locked on the finish line of the track, not far ahead. as long as he could enter the place, he would be the first player to clear the game! now that he had flown more than half the distance in the air, it seemed that everything was set in stone. it was no longer a dream to successfully reach the end of the game and complete it. as long as he took another step forward, he would succeed! meanwhile, he was only a few hundred meters away from the finish line. [he¡¯s going to succeed!] [this game isn¡¯t as hard to clear as those people mentioned. isn¡¯t this person about to clear the game?] [haha! the two people who braked just now have completely turned into clowns. the only brave one is about to successfully clear the game!] [this is the reward for being brave!] [i didn¡¯t expect to witness such an important moment in the live stream. this person¡¯s name will forever be recorded in the history of this game!] [this person is really brave. he was the only one who rushed out when so many people thought that the racing game was impossible to clear.] [i don¡¯t think you should think too simply about this matter. perhaps there are still some unexpected situations!] [he¡¯s about to clear the game. how can there be any unexpected situations?] [that¡¯s right! i think you¡¯re probably just saying that grapes are sour because you can¡¯t eat them, right?] [haha! i¡¯m dying of laughter. it¡¯s obvious that you¡¯re blaming everything on others when you¡¯re just a coward.] some live stream room viewers had already started to celebrate the situation in advance. after all, the player was driving extremely fast. it might only take a blink of an eye for him to reach the finish line. however, just as the racing car reached the highest point of the journey, a large hand covered in thick hair suddenly stretched out from the bottom of the cliff. the large hand grabbed the racing car in the air and squeezed it hard. even in the live stream room, viewers seemed to have heard the sound of the racing car being completely crushed. afterward, a large number of gold coins fell out of its hand. it was obvious that the racing car had been completely torn to pieces. the brave player was already dead! after death, according to the rules of the game, all the experience points he had gained in the game would be reset to zero. the sudden appearance of such a scene caused the live stream room viewers to instantly become extremely quiet. after all, no one would have thought that when the racing car was about to reach the finish line¡­ however, at the last second, such a situation happened. after crushing the racing car, an extremely huge gorilla stood up from the bottom of the cliff and beat its chest with its hands as if it were demonstrating its power. it was as if it were telling all the players in the game not to think about challenging the game. never dream of successfully clearing the game! it was because anyone who wanted to clear the level would be completely torn apart. no matter who wanted to pass the cliff in front of them, there would only be one outcome. death and failure! at this moment, angelica and su ping finally arrived at the finish line. however, there was no reason for them to continue moving forward. after all, the previous player had already made the wrong demonstration. he told everyone in the live stream room that they couldn¡¯t advance on the road ahead. otherwise, all the experience they had gained would be lost. angelica turned to look at su ping with gratitude in her eyes. obviously, angelica understood that su ping had saved her life. besides, su ping knew the game very well. he knew what a terrifying creature was at the end of the race track. after a long time, many live stream room viewers finally came back to their senses. everyone looked at the scene in front of them in shock. the player who was about to rush to the end of the game seemed to be still alive and still sprinting forward. but in fact, he had already paid the price for his bravery, which was his life. fortunately, it was a game. if it were the real world, he would have died completely. [oh my goodness! is this the giant gorilla that some viewers mentioned before? it¡¯s so terrifying!] [i was wondering why the game was about to end, but i still haven¡¯t seen that gorilla. it turns out that it¡¯s waiting for the players to walk into the trap at the end of the race track!] [this gorilla is too ridiculous. according to the situation, no one can successfully clear this game. after all, the gorilla is invincible!] [su ping, su ping, tell us how you designed this game. do you know you¡¯ve designed a difficult game?] [that¡¯s right! why did you design a game that no one can complete? is it purely to torture the players?] [su ping, tell me you¡¯re not this kind of person!] [how can we clear this game?] Chapter 284 - 284 The Hidden Hint 284 the hidden hint the live stream room viewers were in chaos. after all, the game was too hard to clear. if the situation continued¡­ no one would be able to complete the game. that was why everyone was confused. they hoped that su ping could give them a reasonable explanation and let them know how to play the game. since many players were questioning the game, su ping had to respond to their doubts. after all, if su ping pretended not to notice the players¡¯ comments and didn¡¯t respond, it would be very disappointing for them. su ping looked at the comments and roughly understood what the players were thinking. su ping then said faintly, ¡°i have to apologize to everyone first.¡± many people were surprised by su ping¡¯s opening remarks because they didn¡¯t expect him to say anything. they wondered, ¡°why did he start apologizing?¡± however, su ping continued before anyone could comment. ¡°here¡¯s the case, since the game is still in the beta testing stage¡­¡± ¡°therefore, the racing game you¡¯re looking at now isn¡¯t a normal and independent mini-game in this game.¡± ¡°to be precise, this game is actually part of the main storyline of ready player one.¡± ¡°since the game hasn¡¯t officially been released, i won¡¯t go into the details to prevent spoilers. i just hope that everyone can understand.¡± ¡°as the main storyline hasn¡¯t been released yet, a lot of the content hasn¡¯t ended yet. therefore, no one knows how to complete this racing game.¡± ¡°so, everyone, there¡¯s no need to be too anxious now.¡± ¡°when the game is officially released and the main storyline is released, everyone will naturally know how to play this game!¡± ¡°this racing game involves a hidden hint in the main storyline!¡± after saying it, every live stream room viewer finally understood what the racing game was all about. it turned out that it wasn¡¯t a normal part of the game at all. it should be part of the main storyline. as the main storyline hadn¡¯t been officially released yet, no one knew how to play the game. after su ping¡¯s explanation, the viewers started to comment. [i see. i was wondering why this game is so difficult. it turns out that it has something to do with the main storyline. now i understand.] [that¡¯s right! no wonder no one has been able to successfully clear the game for so long. it seems that if we want to know who is the first person to clear it, we have to wait until the game is officially released.] [it seems that before the game¡¯s official release, everyone doesn¡¯t have to continue trying to clear the game because it¡¯s impossible to succeed!] [alright, alright. let¡¯s go. su ping is setting a trap for us!] [despicable game producer, you¡¯re too sinister!] su ping wasn¡¯t angry when he saw many people scolding him on the live stream. after all, it was his own mistake. he didn¡¯t state what the game was about in advance. ¡°everyone, stop scolding. i accept all your suggestions.¡± ¡°after all, the game hasn¡¯t been officially released yet. i hope that everyone can be more tolerant of some of the game¡¯s flaws and problems.¡± ¡°now that everyone understands that there¡¯s no way to clear the game, let¡¯s stop here for today¡¯s racing game.¡± ¡°angelica, what do you think?¡± hearing it, angelica nodded gently. ¡°alright, it looks like we can¡¯t get past king kong. i¡¯ll challenge this difficulty again after the game¡¯s official release!¡± angelica was eager to try. after all, she had always been a high-level game streamer. besides, angelica had always been strong-willed. she would only show her softer side in front of su ping. in the game, angelica had always been a person who liked to kill! then su ping and angelica quit the racing game. although the game had already ended, many people had still recorded it. the game recordings would definitely spread to all major video platforms in a short time, letting more people know how difficult the game was. also, how huge and terrifying the gorilla that guarded the finish line of the track was. in angelica¡¯s live stream, su ping continued to experience the different ways of playing the game with angelica and tried out different game contents. su ping had never explained to angelica how he knew about king kong at the end of the track. however, su ping was the game¡¯s producer after all. it was reasonable for him to know about the game¡¯s hidden hints. this time, the live stream lasted until very late, and angelica finally chose to end her live stream. before the live stream ended, no one in the live stream room cared about the game content. everyone was only concerned about what the two would do after the live stream ended. after all, it was late, and su ping was still at angelica¡¯s house. the two of them were both adults, so what exactly were they going to do? [damn! i think i can already imagine what these two people will do after they end the stream!] [it¡¯s really like all the good cabbages have been eaten by pigs!] [angelica, don¡¯t be deceived by that man. everything he did was hypocritical!] [boo-hoo! my heart breaks when i think of su ping at angelica¡¯s house!] [su ping, get the hell back to your own home. don¡¯t stay at angelica¡¯s house any longer!] [host, i hope you can show up in the live stream room normally tomorrow. if we find out that you don¡¯t look well, su ping will be scolded!] [although i was mentally prepared to face this day¡­ however, when it came, i realized that i was still too unprepared!] the live stream room was filled with heartbroken comments. after all, the relationship between angelica and su ping had been made public. however, many people in the live stream room still regarded angelica as their dream lover. they didn¡¯t dare imagine what would happen after angelica and su ping ended the live stream. of course, it was all the imagination of the live stream room viewers. in fact, the two of them had done nothing. su ping even suggested going back to his own home to rest at the beginning. Chapter 285 - 285 A Perfect Match 285 a perfect match initially, su ping wanted to leave angelica¡¯s house. although su ping had spent the night here before, it was a girl¡¯s home. su ping felt that it would be bad for a man like him to spend the night here. therefore, su ping asked to leave soon after the live stream ended. however, angelica looked at the time and found that it would be midnight soon. although the city they were in was big, there was no need to worry about safety at all. however, it was too late. su ping wouldn¡¯t even be able to get a cab home. in the end, angelica persuaded su ping to stay. the night passed peacefully. su ping slept in the same guest room he had stayed in before. it wasn¡¯t until the next morning that su ping finally left angelica¡¯s house after having breakfast together. as for when su ping and angelica would do the next live stream together, neither of them had a definite answer. the most likely scenario would be ready player one¡¯s official release, which was one week later. by then, su ping might come to angelica¡¯s house to do the live stream with her. after all, it had been two months since the game ¡°ready player one¡± had been produced until its official release. it was the game that su ping had spent the most effort and money on. this game was also considered the embodiment of all of su ping¡¯s hopes and beliefs in virtual reality games. otherwise, su ping wouldn¡¯t call this game the greatest game in history! that was why the day of the official release of ready player one was a significant day for su ping. it was also a meaningful event that the game could meet tens of millions of players around the world in angelica¡¯s live stream. su ping didn¡¯t post anything on his social media account after he got home. there was less than a week left until the game¡¯s official release. although the most difficult task of building the server had been handed over to the game development companies¡­ however, as the game¡¯s producer, su ping still had a lot of work to do. it was especially true for ready player one. if there were any bugs in the game or if there was something unreasonable that needed to be changed, su ping would have to fix it as soon as possible. all of this was for the sake of making ready player one perfect so that as many people as possible would be satisfied after the game was officially released. after su ping and angelica¡¯s live stream last night, many fans and viewers recorded their live stream. moreover, after many people edited them in different ways, these videos were all uploaded to various major video platforms, and they instantly gained huge traffic and popularity. many people who were unable to watch the live stream last night due to personal matters felt regret after seeing the videos. after all, the number of times su ping and angelica had streamed together could be counted on one hand. compared to angelica playing games alone, su ping¡¯s presence had a completely different effect. many people liked to watch su ping and angelica play games and interact with each other. moreover, when the two of them were doing the live stream together, the comments in the live stream room would be interesting. it was a completely different viewing experience. [sigh, i was invited out for dinner by my friend last night. i didn¡¯t expect angelica to start a live stream with su ping! i went out because i thought angelica wasn¡¯t going to live stream yesterday. damn it, i missed such an interesting thing!] [i feel the same way too. i¡¯m going to cry if i say too much.] [it¡¯s weird. i used to watch angelica¡¯s live stream every day and never missed a single live stream. but it was rare to see angelica and su ping do a live stream together. it just so happened that i had something to do yesterday and missed it!] [it looks like everyone is the same. then i can rest assured, haha!] [i have to say, the show would only be interesting if su ping and angelica were doing it together. it¡¯s so entertaining when they¡¯re doing the live stream together.] [the two of them look good together. i have to say that they¡¯re like a perfect match!] [i hate to admit it, but i have to say that su ping and angelica are a perfect match in both personality and hobbies.] [the two of them don¡¯t seem to have ever quarreled over live streams or anything in their lives, right? this state is enviable. even my childhood sweetheart and i have a lot of conflicts from time to time!] [damn, you have a childhood sweetheart?! i seriously suspect that you¡¯re deliberately showing off your love to everyone! drag him out and behead him!] [let¡¯s kick this person who likes to publicly show his affection and attack him for ten minutes!] [where¡¯s the platform¡¯s management team? why don¡¯t you ban this kind of person from commenting?! isn¡¯t he here to embarrass us?] meanwhile, under the various videos on various video platforms, the comments section was filled with netizens¡¯ discussions. obviously, everyone was very concerned about su ping and angelica¡¯s live stream. of course, other than the viewers¡¯ attention on their private lives, the game content displayed in the video also attracted their attention. after all, the racing game had long been notorious among the players. countless people had chosen to step on the accelerator to become the first person to clear the game. no matter who it was, every time their racing car soared into the air, it would be grabbed by king kong who suddenly appeared and crushed completely! no matter what they did, whether they changed their route in advance to try to avoid king kong¡¯s palm, no one ever succeeded. the feeling of seeing hope and then being completely enveloped by a huge palm in an instant, and finally being completely crushed, wasn¡¯t good! although the game greatly reduced the pain of the players, it might only retain 10% of the pain. it was to remind the player in the game that his body was under attack. it was like a screen shaking or glowing red in the computer era. it was a kind of reminder. to prevent players from dying unknowingly. even so, the feeling of being crushed was still unbearable. Chapter 286 - 286 The Players Are Dissatisfied 286 the players are dissatisfied king kong had become a pain in the hearts of countless players. losing the experience points wasn¡¯t even the most important thing to players who had failed. it wasn¡¯t even the most painful part. what they couldn¡¯t accept was that they had already done their best. they had successfully passed the fierce competition in the early stages of the racing game and surpassed the others. they also avoided all kinds of obstacles on the track. in the end, after experiencing countless calamities, they finally reached the end of the journey. but suddenly, no matter how hard they tried or what they did, they couldn¡¯t pass through the wall that appeared in front of them. it was an extremely terrible feeling. it was as if all their previous efforts had been in vain. now that the video of su ping and angelica¡¯s live stream had been released, the players finally understood why no one had ever cleared the game. with such a huge and agile gorilla appearing at the end of the track, it would be strange if anyone could successfully clear the stage! afterward, they saw su ping apologize to them at the end of the live stream. after hearing what su ping had said, everyone was enlightened. the comments section of the video was filled with comments denouncing su ping. [fuck, su ping! why didn¡¯t you tell us earlier that it was impossible to pass this game during the beta test? why didn¡¯t you tell us that we can only pass it after the main storyline is released!] [su ping, i¡¯ve never scolded you, but today i¡¯m going to curse your family. did you do it on purpose?] [i suspect that su ping purposely didn¡¯t tell us this information so that the beta testers would die! everyone must strongly resist this kind of behavior. what if this kind of situation appears on the game¡¯s official release in the future?] [fuck, it¡¯s true. i was gloating over the loss of all the experience points, but now i have to say, fuck you, su ping!] [su ping, do you think you can just let this matter go with a verbal apology? when the game is officially released, you must give all of us a set of equipment for beginners!] [that¡¯s right, you must compensate us. otherwise, we will give you a bad review when the game is released!] [although we haven¡¯t played ready player one yet, for the sake of the game experience in the future, let¡¯s charge together!] unknowingly, the entire gaming community had reached unprecedented unity because of the matter. if it was in the past and if it was some small matter that had nothing to do with the game experience. some people might even come forward to explain that su ping was doing this out of his own consideration. after all, su ping¡¯s excellence as a game producer was widely acknowledged. however, this time, when su ping made all the players pay for his mistake, no one would speak up for him anymore. even if they were all su ping¡¯s fans, they liked su ping because he could create new games that others couldn¡¯t. when something went wrong with su ping¡¯s new game, the fans would unite and attack su ping. they didn¡¯t do this because they were hostile to su ping or because they wanted to simply attack him. it was because the players hoped that su ping¡¯s game would improve. they hoped that su ping wouldn¡¯t be like some shooting stars in the gaming industry that disappeared after a short period of glory. they didn¡¯t hope su ping might as well do what the entire gaming industry did before, start to use the same idea in different games, and start to make messy dressing games. however, su ping didn¡¯t hear what the players were saying. ever since su ping returned from angelica¡¯s house, he has devoted all his energy to completing and optimizing the game. the game development company had given su ping a lot of feedback about the game¡¯s bugs. since su ping had the system, it was easy for him to fix bugs in the game or some troublesome problems. if the game development company¡¯s programmers were to do this, it would take several times more time than su ping¡¯s. it was why su ping was so busy. after all, there were too many players in the game. even if most of the content was fine and there was no problem¡­ however, as long as there were all kinds of small troubles in five percent of the game¡¯s locations, it would add up to a huge amount of work in the end. because of what su ping had done, the programmers in the game development companies were worshiping su ping as a god! in their eyes, it would take them a few days or even half a month to deal with a bug in the program. however, su ping only needed one night to answer?! su ping was an independent game producer! su ping didn¡¯t have a game production team, and he had no one else to discuss the solution with! so how did su ping do it? it had become a mystery among the programmers of major game development companies. no one knew how powerful su ping was, nor did they know how terrifying su ping¡¯s ability to deal with programming problems was. the time passed day by day. it wasn¡¯t until the day before the game¡¯s official release that su ping finally finished all his work. at this moment, su ping finally had the time and energy to pay attention to what was happening on the internet. su ping, however, was startled by what he saw. the internet was filled with people madly tagging him. when su ping entered his page and opened the private message panel, he was shocked to see the string of zeros behind the icon. ¡°damn, what¡¯s going on? is there a huge bug in the game?¡± ¡°but that shouldn¡¯t be the case. if there¡¯s a problem with the game, steam, and storm gaming company will give me a summary of all the problems, but i¡¯ve already solved all the problems.¡± meanwhile, su ping was dumbfounded. he had no idea what was going on. su ping wondered why he had received so many private messages. su ping clicked on some of the messages and read them. the questions in his mind weren¡¯t solved. instead, they became bigger. these players were scolding him through private messages? su ping felt innocent. what was going on? Chapter 287 - 287 Its Alright Then 287 it¡¯s alright then since he couldn¡¯t figure out what was going on, the simplest solution for su ping was to ask angelica what was going on. it was still early, so angelica hadn¡¯t started her live stream yet. su ping took out his phone and sent angelica a message. soon, su ping received angelica¡¯s reply. it seemed that angelica was also surprised and confused that su ping didn¡¯t know about it. ¡°you don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on online recently? i thought you knew about this and deliberately didn¡¯t respond!¡± su ping said immediately. ¡°so what is it? why are there so many people scolding me online? i didn¡¯t do anything, though!¡± angelica quickly replied. ¡°it¡¯s all because of what happened the other day when i was live streaming with you.¡± ¡°it¡¯s because of the game that players call it the death race track.¡± ¡°didn¡¯t you apologize to the people in the live stream at the end, saying that the reason why the game couldn¡¯t be cleared was because of your negligence? didn¡¯t you tell everyone that the game required the main storyline to find clues to clear the game?¡± ¡°after that, the scene of the two of us live streaming together that day was recorded and posted online.¡± ¡°i don¡¯t know who started it. although you apologized during that day¡¯s live stream, many people were worried that a similar situation would happen after the game¡¯s official release.¡± ¡°that¡¯s why everyone wants you to use your account to make a public apology and promise that you won¡¯t make such a mistake in the future. only then will everyone be willing to forgive you.¡± ¡°perhaps it¡¯s because you haven¡¯t done anything recently that people think you¡¯re trying to ignore the matter, so there are so many people scolding you now. that¡¯s why more people are scolding you.¡± ¡°actually, most of them weren¡¯t aggressive at first. some even came to me to persuade you to apologize quickly.¡± ¡°at that time, i think you should already know about it. since you don¡¯t say anything, i can¡¯t say anything to you, so i didn¡¯t discuss this with you.¡± ¡°i didn¡¯t expect that after so long, you still didn¡¯t know about it?¡± angelica was very surprised. however, su ping and angelica hadn¡¯t talked to each other much lately, so it was understandable that angelica was in such a situation. after angelica¡¯s explanation, su ping finally understood what had happened. it turned out that it was all because he had been too immersed in his work during this period, causing many netizens to think that he was deliberately not apologizing and not responding to the matter. that was why more and more people came to roast him. now that everything was clear, the solution was laid out in front of su ping. he had to post an announcement to explain what had happened. in the end, su ping had to make a public apology to the players and fans in his announcement. su ping didn¡¯t think that it was embarrassing to make a public apology. after all, he had always thought of himself as an ordinary game producer. he was nothing special in front of the players. everything su ping did was make his players play better games and be happier. and now, because of his negligence, there is a problem with the game. even if he had to publicly apologize, it was only right! after the chat with angelica, su ping opened his social media app and started writing a new post. a few minutes later, su ping read through his post and nodded in satisfaction. ¡°there shouldn¡¯t be any problems now. after i post it, everyone will know why i didn¡¯t respond to the matter.¡± after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the post, su ping pressed the send button. soon, the post was successfully sent. in less than half a minute, su ping¡¯s latest post had exceeded 10,000 views, and there were already hundreds of comments below. obviously, even though su ping had disappeared, there were still many people who had been special following su ping¡¯s account, waiting for his reply. besides, there was only one day left before the official release of ready player one. anyone would know that su ping couldn¡¯t continue ignoring the situation at this time. the people who had been waiting for su ping finally saw the latest post. not only did su ping¡¯s latest post receive a lot of attention, but it was also forwarded by many people at the same time. naturally, the post became more and more popular. many players also commented on the content of the post and expressed their opinions. [seeing that you¡¯re so humble and apologetic, everyone will forgive you for this matter. however, i hope that no matter how busy you are with work in the future, you can still take a minute to look at our responses on the internet every day.] [su ping, we won¡¯t make things difficult for you if you know you¡¯ve made a mistake. but i think you need to change your habit of ignoring everything that happens outside while you¡¯re working.] [sigh, so it¡¯s just a misunderstanding. alright, alright, everyone can leave.] [everything will be fine since you¡¯ve apologized. i was really worried that you were a little arrogant because of your past achievements. now, i¡¯m relieved that it seems that¡¯s not the case.] [it¡¯s alright, su ping. i believe that you won¡¯t make such a mistake again after the game is officially released to the public!] [su ping, i believed that only someone like you can go offline for such a long time. but i have to say, if it¡¯s because of work, everyone understands you¡­] [it turns out that you¡¯re making games! i won¡¯t scold you next time!] [haha! we have all made big mistakes. but we are doing this because we are concerned about your situation!] [you¡¯re not allowed to disappear for such a long time in the future! at least let everyone know that you¡¯re still alive every few days!] as the number of views of the post increased, everyone¡¯s reactions began to change rapidly. at first, everyone was forgiving su ping, but now they were discussing whether su ping was figuring out a new game. or rather, players would joke with su ping. they wanted su ping to report his situation to them more often so that everyone wouldn¡¯t think that su ping was dead if he disappeared for too long one day. the entire comment section was filled with a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere, completely different from before. Chapter 288 - 288 Foresight of the Games Official Release 288 foresight of the game¡¯s official release after calming down the netizens, su ping decided to go to angelica¡¯s house this afternoon to do a live stream with her. after all, the game will be officially released tomorrow. as the game¡¯s producer, su ping naturally had to take some time to interact with the players. the game¡¯s official release was too important. it could be said that the data on the first day of release could already determine the outcome of a game. if even the first day¡¯s data didn¡¯t meet expectations, then the subsequent data growth would continue to be more disappointing day by day. su ping had always been confident in his games, and the quality of his games was indeed excellent. however, they still couldn¡¯t take the publicity before the game¡¯s official release lightly. at around 4 p.m., su ping finally knocked on angelica¡¯s door. after the door was opened, angelica appeared in front of su ping in casual pajamas. angelica looked so cute, like a little sister next door, which made su ping fascinated by her. angelica blushed when su ping stared at her. she glared at su ping and said. ¡°if you keep staring at me like this, i¡¯ll close the door directly. you don¡¯t have to come in.¡± after hearing angelica¡¯s words, su ping realized that he was distracted. he smiled and went straight into angelica¡¯s house. angelica had already prepared all the supplies for the live stream, and she had already posted a notice on her social media account at noon. the live stream will start in advance this afternoon. so even though angelica started her live stream much earlier than usual, there were already millions of viewers waiting in her live stream room. everyone was waiting for angelica to start her live stream. especially since angelica had mentioned in the trailer that she would be live streaming with su ping today, which made the viewers more interested in her live stream. after all, everyone knew that ready player one would be officially released tomorrow. since su ping had chosen to live stream with angelica today, they would be talking about the game¡¯s official release. it was certainly very interesting. the live stream officially began. as soon as the live stream started, the screen was instantly blocked by dense comments. if viewers didn¡¯t choose to filter some of the comments, they wouldn¡¯t even be able to see angelica and su ping¡¯s faces. [it¡¯s finally started!] [the sun has risen from the west. why are the two of you suddenly live-streaming together so early in the morning?] [haha! it feels like we¡¯re having a new year! su ping has been missing for so long. he¡¯s finally out!] [su ping, hurry up and tell us what kind of benefits players will get in ready player one¡¯s official release tomorrow. i can¡¯t wait to start the game and claim my pre-ordered reward!] [that¡¯s right! since ready player one is so popular, it¡¯s reasonable to give us more benefits.] [by the way, su ping, didn¡¯t you say that you wanted to apologize to everyone? since the live stream has started, why don¡¯t you apologize to everyone now?] at this moment, some viewers started talking about the topic that su ping hadn¡¯t been around for a while. the comment immediately attracted the approval of many people. after all, su ping seemed to have disappeared a while ago. it could be said to have caused a huge commotion on the internet. su ping nodded and spoke seriously. ¡°i was too immersed in my work previously and neglected some of your comments. i¡¯m really sorry.¡± ¡°i apologize to everyone here. i hope you can forgive this small mistake of mine. i will try my best to avoid such things from happening again in the future.¡± after su ping explained to the live stream room viewers why he hadn¡¯t responded to them during this time and made a public apology¡­ the viewers¡¯ attention shifted from su ping to the game, ready player one. everyone wanted to know if any hidden benefits were waiting for them. after all, as an online game that was about to be released, to attract more players to join the game, game development companies would usually give out all kinds of benefits to let people join the game. until now, aside from the date of the game¡¯s official release, there hadn¡¯t been any particularly interesting news from ready player one. in other words, no one knew what kind of benefits would be waiting for them after the game was officially released. if everyone had to start the game without the beginner¡¯s benefits, just like the beta testers¡­ it would undoubtedly disappoint many people. [su ping, why don¡¯t you tell us what the benefits of the game¡¯s official release are?] [that¡¯s right! su ping, those beta testers started playing the game half a month earlier than us. if we don¡¯t get any benefits during the game¡¯s official release, it¡¯s really unfair to us!] [that¡¯s right, i strongly request more benefits for the new players during the game¡¯s official release. only in this way can we minimize the gap between the players and give us a chance to catch up to the beta testers!] [su ping, don¡¯t hide it. i know you must have prepared many surprises for us!] [su ping, if you dare to say that you won¡¯t get any benefits, then you have to be careful when you go out these days!] [haha! you all starting to threaten su ping¡¯s life! i¡¯m different. su ping, you must be careful not to expose your butt when you sleep at night!] [it has to be you, brother. you¡¯re ruthless enough!] ¡­ angelica couldn¡¯t help but laugh when she saw the countless comments mocking su ping. even though su ping glared at her, angelica couldn¡¯t help but laugh. afterward, angelica said it with a smile. ¡°you¡¯d better hurry up and tell them about the benefits they can get during the game¡¯s official release. otherwise, i don¡¯t think this matter will be over just like that.¡± su ping finally nodded under angelica¡¯s persuasion. he looked at the camera and said it seriously. ¡°tomorrow, the game will be officially released to the public. everyone, i¡¯ve already prepared many gifts for you to express my gratitude for your support.¡± ¡°everyone, when you enter the game during tomorrow¡¯s official release, you don¡¯t have to do any pre-quests.¡± ¡°as long as you enter the server and successfully create an account, you can receive it immediately!¡± Chapter 289 - 289 Benefits in the Games Official Release 289 benefits in the game¡¯s official release su ping didn¡¯t tell the viewers in detail what the benefits of the game¡¯s official release would be. however, the information that su ping revealed was enough to satisfy everyone. it was because many game development companies would use all kinds of exaggerated methods to promote their new games. for example, they would promote that something could be claimed for free after registering. however, it could only be obtained after seven or even fourteen days of continuous sign-in! or they would promote that many items could be claimed for free after registering. however, players needed to play the game for some time to obtain it. the phenomenon was equivalent to deception for the players! when players logged into the game, they realized that the benefits they could receive weren¡¯t as great as the game development company had publicized. moreover, these things would only be known after the player entered the game. however, not many people doubted what su ping had just said. they all believed that su ping would never lie! since su ping had said that they could get it by logging in, there would be no exceptions! now, there was only one thing that everyone was concerned about. what were the benefits of the game¡¯s official release? could the benefits help everyone narrow the gap between them and the beta testers as much as possible? would it allow the players to catch up with the beta testers as soon as possible and even have the opportunity to surpass the beta testers? after all, no one wanted to be left behind. everyone wanted to have a higher ranking in the game and gain the recognition of more players. under the urging of the viewers, su ping nodded and said. ¡°there¡¯s no need for everyone to worry about the benefits. everyone knows that i¡¯m never stingy in this aspect.¡± su ping became serious. ¡°there are a total of the following rewards that you can receive after logging in tomorrow.¡± as soon as su ping said it, the comments in the live stream room were all cleared because everyone was focused on what su ping was going to say next. everyone wanted to know what the benefits of the game were. su ping continued. ¡°the first benefit is a set of equipment for beginners!¡± ¡°everyone can choose a set of equipment that can help you quickly pass the exploration period from the gift bag.¡± ¡°these pieces of equipment will be useful before you reach level 20. moreover, their attributes will be better than most of the equipment you can obtain from the dungeon.¡± ¡°i¡¯m sure everyone knows that even the average level of the beta testers is only level 30!¡± ¡°after you have this set of novice equipment, your leveling speed will definitely be faster than the beta testers.¡± ¡°it is estimated that within a month, the level difference between full-time players and beta testers will be reduced to within five levels! it can help everyone catch up to the main force as soon as possible!¡± the first benefit was undoubtedly useful to new players. after all, equipment was the most important thing for players in the early stages of the game. one could have a higher survival rate on the battlefield if they had equipment. only then could one challenge higher-level monsters and obtain rare equipment. moreover, the higher the level of the battlefield, the more experience points players can obtain! [not bad! the first benefit is indeed very useful!] [that¡¯s right! what we need the most right now is to be better equipped to explore the game. it seems that su ping has been working hard!] [that¡¯s great! once the game is officially released, i can bring this equipment to challenge the death planet! haha! i want to go there and play now!] [very good. are there any other benefits?] su ping nodded and continued. ¡°now, i¡¯ll announce the second benefit.¡± ¡°it¡¯s the novice mission.¡± ¡°everyone, as long as you complete the various activities of the exploration period, you will be able to receive a large number of game coins as rewards.¡± ¡°other than game coins, everyone can also receive items such as hp recovery items or some ordinary life-saving items!¡± ¡°these rewards are mainly for the sake of the fact that everyone has just entered the game and doesn¡¯t know much about the various mechanisms and gameplay of the game.¡± ¡°many players are more obsessed with some of the combat gameplay in the game. the probability of everyone dying in the game will become very high.¡± ¡°these benefits are mainly to increase everyone¡¯s survival rate and prevent everyone from making mistakes during the novice stage, resulting in death.¡± ¡°after all, in ready player one, once death occurs, all the experience gained will be cleared entirely. this will undoubtedly dissuade many players.¡± ¡°i sincerely hope that every player can successfully pass the novice period!¡± it was also a very helpful benefit for every player. not only could players obtain more game coins to buy better equipment, but items that could be used for healing and life-saving were also equally important. after all, life is the most important thing in this game. only by staying alive could players level up and accumulate more attributes to challenge higher-level dungeons. after the second benefit was announced, it once again caused a commotion in the live stream room. [damn! su ping is indeed worthy of his reputation. this game¡¯s opening benefit is too generous. those immoral game development companies can¡¯t compare to it!] [that¡¯s right! nowadays, many game development companies have terrible game producers. they made us not even know how to play games. many game producers even torture players for fun!] [su ping is like a clear stream in the gaming industry worldwide! i hope there will be more game producers like su ping. this is good news for all players!] [that¡¯s great! now that i have equipment and medicine, i can finally boldly enter the death planet to challenge it!] [as expected of su ping. i hope su ping will continue to give us such benefits in the future so that we can have a better gaming experience!] [su ping is awesome. please forgive my lack of vocabulary. i don¡¯t know how to describe my feelings anymore!] the first two benefits that su ping offered undoubtedly satisfied all the players. meanwhile, su ping was relieved by the viewers¡¯ reaction. Chapter 290 - 290 The Racing Event 290 the racing event su ping had always thought of himself as a game producer who was very considerate of the players. no matter what achievements su ping had made, he would never be complacent. just like now, su ping¡¯s ultimate goal in making games was to make the players have more fun in his games. now that the players in the stream agreed with him, su ping was happy. it appeared as though his efforts had been noticed by others. afterward, su ping smiled and spoke calmly to the surprised crowd. ¡°everyone, please calm down. apart from the first two benefits, i¡¯ve prepared the third surprise for you!¡± as soon as su ping finished his words, countless viewers in the live stream room were instantly shocked. there was a third benefit?! it was something that no one had expected. after all, everyone thought that it was already difficult to get two benefits. they didn¡¯t expect there to be a third benefit! as soon as su ping said it, everyone in the stream was guessing what the third benefit was. [what do you think the third benefit is?] [i¡¯m not sure. now, we have the equipment, game coins, and even life-saving items and healing potions. what else can he give?] [it seems that su ping can¡¯t give out anything special as a bonus other than giving out equipment to everyone, right?] [su ping, stop keeping us in suspense. tell us what the third benefit is!] at this moment, countless players began to urge su ping, wanting to know what the new benefit was. su ping smiled when he saw how eager the players were. ¡°it¡¯s actually a simple benefit, and it¡¯s a benefit that works for all players in the game!¡± ¡°or rather, the third benefit should be considered an in-game activity!¡± ¡°both beta testers and players can participate in this event, and the content of the event is an internal game competition!¡± at this point, countless players in the live stream room had their eyes wide open. they were looking at su ping curiously. everyone wanted to know what the competition was. even angelica, who was sitting next to him, looked very curious. angelica didn¡¯t know what su ping was planning to do. before coming here to do the live stream, su ping didn¡¯t tell angelica what he was going to do. su ping said it with a smile after a while. ¡°do you still remember the main storyline of ready player one that i mentioned to you before?¡± ¡°for example, the racing game that no one has ever been able to complete before. it requires the content provided by the main storyline to successfully clear the game.¡± everyone in the live stream room realized what su ping was talking about. [oh, could it be that this game competition is related to the main storyline?] [could it be that it¡¯s the same as before? are we going to compete to see who can clear the main storyline first?] [this competition is the same as the old ones. isn¡¯t it a little too old-fashioned to do it again?] [what¡¯s so old-fashioned about that? after all, it¡¯s just a game. besides, joining such a competition makes me even more excited!] [haha! this time, all the players will be participating in the speed competition. i must strive to get a better ranking so that i can show off in my game group!] [this event is much more interesting than gifting. it¡¯s best if the game can give some special titles to the top players!] [that¡¯s right, it¡¯s more interesting to have honor!] ¡­ some players mentioned honor and achievement titles in the comments, which reminded su ping. su ping had indeed neglected the aspect. he had never considered setting up such a thing before. after being reminded by the viewers, su ping suddenly realized something and said. ¡°oh, right! why am i so stupid!¡± ¡°it¡¯s all thanks to the live stream room viewers. thank you for your reminder. as for achievement titles and honors, ready player one is indeed slightly lacking!¡± ¡°i can assure everyone that i will gradually improve the game within a month after its official release.¡± ¡°now, i have an idea. the first person in the world to complete the entire main storyline will obtain the only achievement in the world.¡± ¡°i haven¡¯t thought of a specific name yet. i welcome everyone to go to the social media platform and send me a private message to give me some interesting suggestions.¡± ¡°if i accept your suggestion in the end, perhaps i can give you some in-game items and equipment as compensation!¡± su ping¡¯s words caused an uproar in the live stream room. what? being the first person to clear the game would earn him or her an achievement and a title?! besides, even if one wasn¡¯t good at playing games, one could still get a reward in the game if his or her suggestions were accepted. a reward given by the game producer was extremely tempting. after all, su ping was the creator of ready player one. he wouldn¡¯t give shabby rewards. otherwise, he would be embarrassing himself. therefore, even if su ping¡¯s reward wasn¡¯t some top-grade equipment, it wouldn¡¯t be too bad. perhaps it could directly turn a player from an ordinary person into a super big shot in the game! at the thought of this, many viewers in the live stream room immediately became eager to give it a try. some of them were trying to come up with a good idea to get a special reward from su ping. su ping continued and said. ¡°i came up with the achievement and title on a whim. other than the champion¡¯s rewards, let¡¯s talk about the specific benefits that the players in the other rankings can obtain.¡± ¡°after all, there will definitely be a lot of players during the game¡¯s official release. if we only reward the champion, then the vast majority of players won¡¯t be able to obtain such benefits. it¡¯s undoubtedly a bad phenomenon.¡± ¡°so in the design of the benefits, i designed a total of five levels for rewards.¡± ¡°these levels are the first to the thousandth, the thousandth to the hundredth, the hundredth to the millionth, and the millionth to the ten-millionth. as for the last unit, it¡¯s the lowest level of reward in the game.¡± ¡°as long as you participate in this event, you will receive a guaranteed reward, regardless of your ranking!¡± Chapter 291 - 291 Wishing in the Live Stream Room 291 wishing in the live stream room the five categories of su ping¡¯s rewards covered all the players in the game¡¯s official release. it could be said that regardless of whether they were weak or strong, they would be able to get a part of the rewards. it was undoubtedly a decision that satisfied all the players. after all, if some players couldn¡¯t receive rewards, they would feel a little disappointed. sometimes, such a situation would happen. people would be more uncomfortable seeing others gain benefits than lose them. therefore, su ping considered everyone¡¯s situation. some people might play this game just to experience another virtual life. in that case, su ping felt he shouldn¡¯t force these players to compete with others in terms of speed. even casual players in the game could receive rewards to satisfy everyone¡¯s psychological needs. su ping started to introduce specific rewards. it was only then that the players in the live stream room finally realized that the competition was the main opening event for ready player one! the benefits su ping mentioned before were nothing compared to the rewards of this event! apart from the extremely rich experience points and game coins, the rewards of this event could even be obtained from mythical equipment boxes. no matter what the player¡¯s ranking was, everyone could receive equipment boxes through the event. according to the player¡¯s ranking, the number of equipment boxes that players could receive was also different. moreover, the probability of getting mythical equipment from different boxes was different. the higher the ranking, the higher the probability of obtaining a piece of mythical equipment! moreover, for the top 1,000 players, after obtaining the mythical boxes, the probability of each box being able to reward a mythical piece of equipment was as high as 5%! each of them would receive five mythical boxes! it could be said that as long as one wasn¡¯t too unlucky, there was still a high chance of obtaining a piece of mythical equipment! even if there were some unlucky players, they would be able to obtain at least two pieces of legendary equipment that were one level lower than mythical equipment. it could be considered a kind of guarantee mechanism. after all, if these players could get into the top 1,000 among the tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of players around the world, they must have put a lot of effort into the game. it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the enthusiasm of the players if the rewards were completely random and made them lose everything. that was why su ping had set up such a guarantee mechanism so that the players could at least get what they deserved after putting in the effort. currently, the highest level of equipment that players could obtain in the game was the mythical level! as for higher-level equipment, they might have to wait until the game entered the middle stage and the player¡¯s level increased by a certain level before they could obtain it. otherwise, with the current dungeon difficulty in the game, if a player could obtain a piece of mythical equipment or even higher-level equipment, they might not even need to do anything. it was like sending modern people to fight in the primitive era. with a full set of hot weapons on the battlefield, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for a person to fight an entire county. although it sounded like a great situation, it was a kind of consumption and overdraft of the game¡¯s lifespan. although players might feel good at the beginning, after a while, they would feel bored. it was even possible that the players would no longer be interested in the game. soon, su ping had given all the information to the live stream room viewers. these people were able to watch angelica¡¯s live stream so early this afternoon, which meant that they liked ready player one very much. everyone knew that su ping had chosen to start the live stream with angelica this afternoon. it was obvious that he was going to tell them about ready player one¡¯s official release. if it were someone who wasn¡¯t interested in the game, they might not watch angelica¡¯s live stream so early. [mythical equipment can be found in the box?! damn! if that¡¯s the case, i have to do my best to get a higher ranking!] [speaking of which, if a person relied on the box to get two or more mythical pieces of equipment, wouldn¡¯t he be invincible in this game for at least a period?] [why are you asking about it?! he¡¯ll definitely be invincible! even the legendary equipment could kill normal monsters instantly, let alone mythical equipment! i¡¯m afraid he can even kill the boss in an instant!] [haha! alright, i¡¯ll lay my cards on the table now. i¡¯m a super lucky player. i¡¯ll definitely get a piece of mythical equipment!] [brother, don¡¯t be too confident. otherwise, you might not even get a legendary item!] [haha! you¡¯ve done a good job of scolding him! i¡¯m going to curse this super lucky player and suppress his arrogance!] [su ping, you must bless me and let me get a piece of mythical equipment. otherwise, i¡¯m going to quit!] [wishing to get a piece of mythical equipment!] [i¡¯m a person with low expectations, and i know well that i can¡¯t get a piece of legendary equipment. i¡¯ll be satisfied if you can give me a piece of legendary equipment!] [me too. forget about the mythical equipment! su ping, you can give me one or two pieces of legendary equipment, right?] [i can tell that su ping really wants everyone to have fun in the game. when the game is officially released to the public, everyone must be actively online!] [of course! we can¡¯t be left behind by the main force!] [no matter what, su ping has brought us a lot of benefits today. if anyone dares say anything bad about ready player one in the future, i will beat them up!] [haha!] with the benefits su ping had brought to everyone, the atmosphere in the live stream room had become lively. everyone expressed their gratitude and love for su ping and they were looking forward to ready player one¡¯s official release. at this moment, angelica¡¯s live stream room had almost ten million concurrent viewers. after all, as long as players that were looking forward to the official release of ready player one¡­ they would want to know about the game¡¯s official release in advance, as well as what kind of benefits the game would have after it was officially released. after all, only by having enough knowledge of such information could they have enough opportunities to take advantage of the game after its official release. otherwise, they would be clueless after entering the game and wouldn¡¯t know what to do. it would definitely have a huge impact on their leveling efficiency. they could only build a thorough plan before playing a game to ensure that they could advance through it swiftly once they had enough understanding of it. it was already evening. at 7 p.m., angelica¡¯s live stream room finally broke through with tens of millions of concurrent viewers. Chapter 292 - 292 Severely Cracking Down on Cheats 292 severely cracking down on cheats although it wasn¡¯t the first time angelica¡¯s live stream room had more than 10 million concurrent viewers, the number of times such a situation happened could be counted on one hand. there were only two times when angelica¡¯s live stream room exceeded 10 million concurrent viewers including today! therefore, every time it reached such a terrifying level of popularity, it was often because of some special circumstances that might have occurred that day. it was the only way to attract more viewers to watch the live stream. meanwhile, su ping had already told the viewers all the benefits of the game after the game¡¯s official release. most of the players were satisfied with it. su ping said it with a smile. ¡°the game will be officially released tomorrow. i¡¯m sure everyone is looking forward to the game after hearing so much news about the game¡¯s benefits.¡± ¡°but i¡¯ve always been a person who says whatever i want. after saying good news, i naturally want to talk about more serious topics.¡± at this moment, su ping¡¯s expression suddenly turned serious. the atmosphere in the stream room seemed to have changed drastically. many viewers were confused. they had no idea what su ping was going to say. what was serious? why did su ping suddenly become so serious? as everyone was curious about su ping¡¯s following words, even the number of comments in the live stream room decreased by a lot. su ping continued when he saw that everyone was getting serious. ¡°this topic is something that every game can¡¯t avoid. it¡¯s about the game¡¯s cheat!¡± although su ping¡¯s games were directly converted from movies by the system, it could be said that the number of bugs and loopholes in his games was very low compared to the games developed by others. however, as long as it was a program, there would be problems. even a game made by the system could have many flaws. moreover, there is no shortage of smart people in this world. these people could always find the problem with the game from all kinds of tricky angles and develop all kinds of cheats. su ping had never been confident that the system¡¯s games were perfect. therefore, it could be foreseen that after the game¡¯s official release, there would definitely be problems with game cheats after some time. of course, if someone used a cheat to gain an advantage in the game, su ping and the people from the game development company would definitely fill in the loopholes as soon as possible! they had to maintain the fairness of the game. su ping continued and said ¡°therefore, i would like to solemnly remind everyone here.¡± ¡°no matter who it is, through whatever means you use to cheat in the game, or through any cheating means to obtain benefits!¡± ¡°once detected, this person will be permanently banned!¡± ¡°everyone, please remember, i won¡¯t just ban your current account. i will ban all accounts related to your personal information!¡± ¡°in other words, as long as you cheat in ready player one, unless you can directly change your appearance and start over with a new identity.¡± ¡°otherwise, you can forget about having a new game account!¡± ¡°everyone, i hope you can remember what i said today. it¡¯s my game, and i don¡¯t care about players using cheats in the single-player game. it¡¯s everyone¡¯s personal choice whether to use a cheat or not.¡± ¡°however, for an online game like ready player one, i hope that everyone can abide by the rules and avoid touching the red line.¡± su ping softened his tone and continued. ¡°in addition to the problem of cheats, there is also the problem of renting and buying accounts. they will also become the target of the game after the game¡¯s official release!¡± ¡°it is mainly to prevent account trading and prevent people from constantly buying accounts to cheat and affect other players¡¯ gaming experiences.¡± ¡°everyone, if you want to obtain equipment or game coins from other people¡¯s game accounts, you can head to the trading area specially set up in the game to conduct face-to-face transactions.¡± ¡°over there, you can exchange your cash for an equal amount of game coins in the trading area first. after that, you can use the game coins to buy other people¡¯s equipment.¡± ¡°the game coins can also be exchanged for real currency in the trading area. the exchange rate in the trading area will change according to the fluctuations of the dual markets in the game and the real world.¡± ¡°it¡¯s also why i told everyone before that this game has its own economic system, and this economic system will be connected to reality through the trading area!¡± su ping revealed a lot of information in today¡¯s live stream. in other words, su ping was giving everyone some important information about the game. this way, players could have a good understanding of the game before its official release. moreover, with this kind of reminder, everyone could be prepared in advance. it helped them to know in their hearts in advance what could be done and what couldn¡¯t be done. after listening to su ping¡¯s words, angelica nodded in agreement and said. ¡°i¡¯m sure everyone understands what su ping is trying to say. i hope everyone can take ready player one seriously and not do anything that will destroy the fairness of the game.¡± at this moment, the live stream room viewers also began to express their attitudes and opinions through the comments. [good job! the game¡¯s cheat problem must be strictly resisted! it¡¯s related to the gaming experience of all our players!] [that¡¯s right! don¡¯t let a rat¡¯s poop spoil the pot of soup. i support su ping and the game development companies working together to crack down on the cheating problem!] [i will support su ping, no matter how severely he punishes those who cheat. those people don¡¯t deserve to be members of ready player one!] [don¡¯t worry, su ping. we won¡¯t cheat in the game!] [strike hard at those who cheats. don¡¯t let them use cheats to gain any benefits in the game!] [haha! su ping, based on your attitude toward cheats, i¡¯m definitely going to fall for this game!] [that¡¯s great! we no longer have to be concerned about another excellent game being ruined by cheats thanks to su ping and the game development companies cooperating to combat cheats!] [that¡¯s right! i don¡¯t know how many good games have destroyed because of cheats. i hope that ready player one won¡¯t take this path.] [by the way, don¡¯t the two of you have any other plans for tonight? aren¡¯t you going to play the game?] Chapter 293 - 293 Strange Fans 293 strange fans ¡°haha! everyone, angelica and i won¡¯t play the game tonight. after all, the game will be officially released tomorrow. we¡¯ll meet in the game after its official release.¡± ¡°everyone, i would like to remind you that the game will be available for download tomorrow morning. if you have time and want to enter the game as soon as possible, don¡¯t miss it!¡± ¡°although you guys started the game a little later than the beta testers, there are only 100,000 beta testers. the most important thing is to surpass most of the players who start to play it after the game¡¯s official release!¡± after a while, su ping finally finished telling the viewers about the game¡¯s official release. it was still early. su ping didn¡¯t plan to play his game during the live stream, so he started to discuss with angelica the following content of the stream. ¡°it¡¯s still early. what are we going to live stream now?¡± su ping looked at angelica and asked curiously for her opinion. hearing it, before angelica could answer, the live stream room viewers began to comment impatiently, giving them all kinds of suggestions. [why don¡¯t you two take your phones and go out and do an outdoor live stream? angelica has never done outdoor content before!] [good idea! we haven¡¯t seen what angelica looks like outside the live stream room!] [hehe! i want to see what angelica and su ping look like when they are hanging out together.] [let¡¯s go with this. you two can also go out for supper together. since you guys have been live streaming since the afternoon, you haven¡¯t even eaten, right?] someone suddenly started the topic, so everyone started to cheer, asking su ping and angelica to go outside and do an outdoor live stream. seeing the viewers¡¯ request, angelica certainly agreed with it, but she had no experience doing outdoor live streams, so she was a little hesitant. angelica was worried that the live stream might not be as interesting. su ping was sitting next to angelica. he could tell what she was thinking at a glance. su ping said it with a smile. ¡°why don¡¯t we go out and eat something together? if you¡¯re not used to it, i¡¯ll hold the phone and do the live stream.¡± ¡°you can treat it as if you¡¯re out for supper. you don¡¯t have to think about anything else. how about that?¡± since su ping had said so, angelica didn¡¯t have any more concerns. everyone¡¯s eyes lit up when they heard what su ping said. [huh? su ping can do live streams?] [haha! why do i feel that compared to angelica, su ping is more like a professional streamer?] [i didn¡¯t expect su ping to take the initiative today. surprisingly, he took the initiative to do the live stream. he took over angelica¡¯s initiative!] [that¡¯s settled, then. su ping, it turns out it¡¯s right to show everyone what your stream looks like. maybe he¡¯ll be a live streamer in the future!] [will su ping create a live stream room? if that¡¯s the case i have a feeling that su ping might become the host with the fastest increase in followers in the world!] [haha! of course. at least half of the reason angelica has so many fans today is because of su ping. if he started his live stream room, the popularity would be unimaginable!] [alright, alright, stop talking so much nonsense. if you keep talking, your stomach will flatten. hurry up and get out!] seeing the viewers¡¯ urging in the live stream room, su ping and angelica quickly got up and prepared to leave home. since su ping was holding the phone, angelica took out her phone to check if there was anything delicious nearby. as a gaming otaku, angelica rarely went out. even though angelica had lived here for a long time, she didn¡¯t even know where to eat delicious food nearby. [haha! angelica is such a homebody. she doesn¡¯t even know the shops nearby her home!] [it seems that angelica is a standard otaku. she is the standard of my dream lover!] [damn it! angelica is such a good girl, but she was taken by su ping. i can¡¯t accept this!] [angelica, wake up. su ping is not a good man. don¡¯t be fooled by him!] [sigh, it¡¯s useless to say more. angelica is too naive. that¡¯s why she was tricked by su ping!] soon, su ping and angelica left home and walked along the street. angelica found a barbecue restaurant that had a good reputation in the neighborhood. she browsed through the reviews, and almost all of them were good. even if there were a few bad reviews, it would seem like the reviews were written by some unreasonable people or simply by their peers deliberately causing trouble. therefore, angelica chose the barbecue restaurant as the place for their supper. of course, su ping didn¡¯t have any objections. since he had decided to let angelica handle this, he wouldn¡¯t interfere with her decisions. the supper lasted until almost 10 p.m. afterward, su ping and angelica finally left together. since it was late, su ping didn¡¯t hesitate to stay at angelica¡¯s place. regarding such a matter, the live stream room was filled with wailing sounds. recently, su ping has been spending more and more nights at angelica¡¯s house. it was hard not to imagine what the two of them would do in their private time. after all, they were all young men and women. su ping was handsome, and angelica was cute and beautiful. a man and a woman alone in a room were like a burning fire. it might only take a small flame to completely ignite it! when the two of them left the barbecue restaurant, the live stream finally ended. since angelica started her live stream earlier today, the live stream room viewers wouldn¡¯t have many objections even if she ended her live stream early. instead, they were all trying to persuade angelica to drive su ping away and not let him enter her house! therefore, su ping felt depressed. why did his fans seem so different from others? according to the practice of other fans, they would do everything possible to match him and angelica at this time. however, su ping¡¯s fans kept persuading angelica not to believe his words. the habit of fans had always given su ping a headache. Chapter 294 - 294 The Pre-download Is Available 294 the pre-download is available the next morning, when the sky had just brightened, the internet was already in an uproar because of something. naturally, it was because ready player one was about to be officially released this afternoon. it could be said that hundreds of millions of players around the world were paying attention to the matter. moreover, ever since everyone knew there was a game called ¡°ready player one,¡± everyone had been looking forward to the game¡¯s official release for more than a month so that everyone could officially play the game. of course, there was another very important reason why the players were so anxious. ever since su ping released the matrix 3, which ended the matrix series, su ping hadn¡¯t released any new games! up until today, nearly two months had passed! it was the first time su ping hadn¡¯t updated any games for such a long time. the players weren¡¯t used to it either. they were used to su ping releasing a new game every ten days to half a month. it was why su ping¡¯s fans always thought they were the happiest players in the world. no matter how many su ping games they played, the speed at which they played games would be slower than the speed at which su ping released new games. no matter when, there would always be the latest and most fun games waiting for everyone to try. however, things had changed this time. su ping didn¡¯t release new games in time like he did in the past. many people didn¡¯t know what to do after playing the games su ping had released. most of these players had already been influenced by su ping¡¯s game. at this time, if they were to play ordinary games with low quality and unsatisfactory operations, no one would be able to continue playing! it was under such circumstances that many players were so anxious to see su ping release a new game. as for ready player one, this kind of game had a long production time and was very well-made in the trailer, so people naturally had high expectations. [ready player one is finally going to be officially released! why isn¡¯t it released immediately after i wake up in the morning? why did we have to wait until 2 p.m.?] [this is the first time i¡¯ve experienced the feeling of passing a day like a year. no, every minute and every second now feels as long as a year to me!] [aah! can the time be faster and reach 2 p.m. now? i¡¯d rather not have these few hours of life. i just want the game to be officially released as soon as possible!] [warning! warning! an unknown virus has appeared all over the world. it will cause people to sit in front of their computers without moving from morning to night. it will suddenly disappear at 2 p.m. please do not be nervous!] [haha! go and remove the surveillance camera you installed in my house, immediately! how do you know that i¡¯m sitting in front of the computer screen and waiting for time?] other than gaming forums, social media platforms, especially under su ping and angelica¡¯s social accounts¡­ countless players commented on such a thing. the number of su ping¡¯s messages had reached a new peak. countless people were urging su ping to release the game a little earlier. of course, su ping didn¡¯t care about these private messages. moreover, the time of the game¡¯s official release couldn¡¯t be changed at the last minute because of his will. su ping had already discussed it with the game development company. everything would go according to the plan and there would be no deviation. finally, it was 10 a.m. there were only four hours left before the game¡¯s official release. no matter which corner of the world, no matter which time zone¡­ even for the other half of the hemisphere, even though it was midnight, there were still countless people who logged into steam on time or storm gaming company¡¯s official website. at this moment, the download icon for ready player one has finally turned from gray to green! everyone had been waiting for this moment. now that the time had finally arrived, tens of millions of players clicked their left mouse buttons at the same time. the terrifying number of visitors almost instantly pushed the server to its peak. fortunately, the game¡¯s server was jointly built by major game development companies around the world, and they had also invited many technology experts to help maintain the server. only then did they prevent the server from crashing. at the same time, su ping received news from steam. ¡°mr. su, did you know that our server almost crashed just now? the sudden surge in traffic on the server is no less than a top-notch hacker¡¯s network attack!¡± ¡°it was so scary, but fortunately, we managed to pull through. we¡¯ll continue to carry out further maintenance on the server. the moment the game is officially released, our challenge will become even more terrifying!¡± ¡°but please rest assured, mr. su. the server will definitely not have any problems today!¡± su ping replied with a smile. ¡°it¡¯s been hard on you guys today.¡± ¡°it¡¯s not hard at all. it¡¯s an honor for everyone in the gaming industry to witness the miracle that ready player one is about to create!¡± ¡°mr. su, you are the one who brought this honor to us. everyone is so happy. hence, this bit of hard work is nothing!¡± it could be seen that the person in charge of steam also attached great importance to ready player one¡¯s official release today. for people working in the gaming industry like them, ready player one wasn¡¯t just a game. it had even become their religion! in the face of faith, all the effort and hard work, whether it was sweat or blood, was worth it! of course, su ping was glad about that. su ping knew very well that the completion of ready player one was only the beginning of everything. the only way to make this game run smoothly was to let everyone play it normally without it crashing. it was the final sign of ready player one¡¯s success! it would be meaningless if the game was created with no server that could host the players, no matter how perfect the game was. time slowly passed. under the anticipation of countless people, it was finally 2 p.m.! at this moment, many people¡¯s hearts even stopped beating. Chapter 295 - 295 Ten Million Concurrent Players in a Minute 295 ten million concurrent players in a minute finally, ready player one was officially released! since the game¡¯s pre-download was available at 10 a.m., some players with faster internet speeds had already downloaded it. to take care of the player¡¯s emotions, players didn¡¯t have to download all the files before the game could be played! the game files¡¯ download sequence had been carefully adjusted by the game development companies¡¯ staff. in other words, the game would prioritize downloading the most important files. players would only need to download 70% of the files before they could complete the next file download and enter the game early! of course, since the players hadn¡¯t downloaded the remaining files, they couldn¡¯t unlock all the areas in the game after entering it. the areas that hadn¡¯t been downloaded were all grayed out and couldn¡¯t be selected in the teleportation system. however, even so, it was enough to make the players satisfied and surprised. some people thought that they would have to wait another hour or two before they could download the game and enter it. just as they were feeling anxious and their hearts were racing, they realized that they could enter the game! this feeling made countless people worship su ping as if he were a god. many people couldn¡¯t help but share their joy on the internet and praise su ping generously. [oh my goodness! i haven¡¯t finished the pre-download, but the download button suddenly changed to the start button! this is definitely the biggest surprise i¡¯ve encountered this year!] [haha! su ping, you¡¯re just like my second parent. i¡¯m going to hate anyone who dares insult ready player one because i can download the game at the same time!] [that¡¯s great! i was worried that i wouldn¡¯t be able to enter the game immediately and might fall behind others. now, i don¡¯t have to worry at all!] [su ping, you are my god. i will never scold you again!] [brothers, i¡¯ll make a move first. i must become one of the top-tier players in this game. at least, i must become one of the top two tiers!] [who doesn¡¯t want to? i must get the mythical equipment!] [brothers, let¡¯s go! after waiting for two months, ready player one is finally here!] [i¡¯m coming! ready player one, here i come!] at this moment, no matter where they were in the world, countless players had already dressed up, put on all their equipment, and then clicked to enter the game. after the initial light and shadow changes, in less than a minute, these people opened their eyes again. the world in front of them had undergone earth-shattering changes. they had already left their rooms and arrived in a brand-new world. during the beta test, all players would spawn at the space station above the oceanic planet. however, when it came to the game¡¯s official release, the size of the space station was naturally unable to meet the needs of the players. after all, although the space station was vast, it could only accommodate hundreds of thousands of players at the same time. if there were more people, there would be no place for everyone to stay on the space station. now that the game has been officially released, the number of players entering the game has been calculated in the tens of millions. therefore, this time, the system didn¡¯t arrange for everyone to be at the same starting point. instead, it allowed everyone to randomly choose their spawn point. a person could be born anywhere. of course, the places were absolutely safe. su ping couldn¡¯t allow the players to enter the game empty-handed and appear on the death planet or in some very dangerous places. if he did so, the players might lose their lives the moment they entered. in short, there was enough space in the game to accommodate every player to log in, and there wouldn¡¯t be a crowded situation in the game. in the first minute of the game¡¯s official release, su ping learned from the data provided by steam that the game had exceeded ten million concurrent players! it was the number that had increased in just one minute! it could be said that the ten million concurrent players in ready player one were equivalent to the number of concurrent players during the peak of many top-tier games. however, it was only the beginning of ready player one! nobody could predict ready player one¡¯s final achievements. even su ping himself couldn¡¯t give an accurate estimate or figure. after all, he was not a god. moreover, the system created the game, so he could only make a rough guess. according to su ping¡¯s previous estimation, the game would be considered a success if it exceeded 100 million concurrent players in the first month. however, looking at the growth rate, su ping suddenly felt that his previous estimation was a bit too conservative. 100 million in a month? the game had only been officially released for a minute, and it had already achieved one-tenth of su ping¡¯s goal. a scary thought popped up in su ping¡¯s mind. even he was shocked when he thought of it. ¡°could it be that the number of concurrent players will exceed 100 million within a day?¡± su ping also thought that it was a bit of a fantasy. the others might laugh at him if he told them about it. however, it was su ping¡¯s true thought. it was possible! the major game development companies had sent a large number of outstanding technicians to maintain the servers. therefore, even though the server was under immense pressure the moment the game was officially released, it still managed to hold on. after all, this time, ready player one¡¯s server could be said to be the largest game server in the world. it might even be the fastest supercomputer array in the world. another four minutes had passed, and it had already been five minutes since the game was officially released. su ping received another number. the number of the game¡¯s concurrent players had doubled compared to four minutes ago, reaching 20 million! the number was still rapidly increasing! at this moment, su ping had a feeling that the goal he thought he could achieve in a month might be achieved before the end of the day! today, ready player one is destined to create unprecedented achievements and records in this world¡¯s gaming industry. moreover, ready player one¡¯s achievement might not be broken by anyone in the future! su ping¡¯s name would also be recorded forever. Chapter 296 - 296 The Terrifying Speed 296 the terrifying speed as the number of registered users exceeded 20 million, steam and storm gaming company released a new post at the same time. previously, when the number of registered users exceeded 10 million, the reason it wasn¡¯t released was because the speed of the breakthrough was too fast. even the staff of the game development companies didn¡¯t expect the game to become so popular. everyone knew that since su ping was the one who made the game, it would be a hit. however, it was still a little too scary for the game to have more than 10 million registered users in the first minute of its official release. this time, the number of users successfully exceeded 20 million, especially since the company was finally ready. at the bottom of the post was a poster created by an artist that the game development company had employed. moreover, the long string of numbers¡ª20 million¡ªwas also very satisfying. on the poster, there was a paragraph of text celebrating the successful breakthrough in the number of registered users. as soon as the poster was released, it immediately attracted the shock of many players. after all, the game had only been released for a few minutes. how could there be so many registered users? although the game had already started its beta test, there were only 100,000 players. there was also no way that all of the registered users were beta testers. with the release of the poster, the topic of ready player one quickly began to cause widespread discussion among many players on the internet. regardless of whether they had registered an account in the game or not, as long as they heard about the game, they couldn¡¯t help but join the discussion. after all, ready player one is now super popular. it had already become a worldwide phenomenon. the search terms related to ready player one also entered the top of the search rankings. there were even some entries that directly ranked first. [damn! if i¡¯m right, this game has only been officially released for a few minutes, and the number of registered users has already exceeded 20 million?!] [it¡¯s terrifying! what is this ¡°ready player one¡±? how can it be so powerful?] [no way! there¡¯s still someone who doesn¡¯t know about ready player one in this era?! don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t even know who su ping is?!] [haha! it seems that su ping is famous, but not to the extent that everyone knows him.] [it seems like su ping still needs to continue working hard to let everyone in the world know his name as soon as possible.] [as expected of a game developed by su ping, i knew it would be a hit as soon as it was released.] [it¡¯s too terrifying. i have never played su ping¡¯s game before. however, ready player one looks quite fun to play. i¡¯ll download it and play it now!] [damn it! i¡¯d already started downloading the game when the pre-download was available. why haven¡¯t i finished downloading it yet?!] [me too! if that¡¯s the case, i¡¯m afraid the game will have another popularity growth after a while!] [it will definitely happen! these 20 million players we saw in the post now all have very good hardware facilities. that¡¯s why they can download the game as soon as possible. there must be many people like us who haven¡¯t finished downloading the game!] [i want to see how many registered users there will be after everyone¡¯s game is downloaded!] [guys, do you think the number of registered users will exceed 50 million after today?] [it¡¯s very likely to happen. it¡¯s only been a few minutes, and there are already 20 million concurrent players. there are still more than ten hours until the end of today!] countless players were discussing the topic of ready player one online, and the popularity of the posts and the number of comments were also increasing rapidly. in just a few minutes, the number of comments under the poster about the number of registered users from the game development company had exceeded hundreds of thousands. it even reached a terrifying ten million views! it wasn¡¯t just the internet that was in an uproar. as more and more players registered their accounts and entered the gaming world of ready player one, the number of players that could be seen inside the game was also increasing rapidly. previously, when the first batch of players had just registered and entered the game, it might have been difficult to meet other people in the game. after all, su ping had changed the spawn point of the players to random before the game¡¯s official release. in other words, the players wouldn¡¯t appear from the same place as in the beta test. in the game¡¯s official release, everyone appeared in a completely random place. it was impossible to be affected or controlled. therefore, if some people were born in a remote place or if the system just happened to place them somewhere alone, they would be able to survive. afterward, the person would definitely be very confused after entering the game. he would start to wonder if he was playing an online game. he would wonder if he was playing a single-player game again. as the players flooded into the gaming world of ready player one, su ping kept receiving notifications and all kinds of good news from the game development companies. ¡°mr. su, the number of our players is still growing rapidly. by the end of today, our registered users might be able to break through the 100 million mark!¡± ¡°mr. su, this is an unprecedented achievement. perhaps no one will be able to surpass the record we set this time. ready player one will forever be in the most dazzling position in gaming history!¡± the staff from the game development companies had been completely conquered by the performance of ready player one. they were also very excited about it. su ping was the one who made ready player one. the game development companies were only responsible for the operation and could only get a small share of the profits¡­ however, as someone who worked in the gaming industry, they were naturally happy to see a game related to them achieve such terrifying results. after su ping received the news, he replied with a smile. ¡°haha! everyone, calm down, don¡¯t get carried away by our current achievements.¡± ¡°it¡¯s only the first day of ready player one¡¯s official release. there¡¯s still a long way to go for this game in the future.¡± ¡°therefore, everyone must strictly follow the plan that we have previously set. try to avoid all possible mistakes and prevent the players¡¯ gaming experience from being damaged.¡± ¡°this isn¡¯t just my game. ready player one is the game of all players in the world, including you.¡± ¡°in this game, you are just ordinary players!¡± Chapter 297 - 297 Being Numb 297 being numb su ping was sure that many staff in the game development company had registered ready player one¡¯s accounts. that was why he said that. moreover, ready player one had a high degree of freedom in this game. even the major game development companies were responsible for maintaining the server and helping to operate the game¡­ they didn¡¯t have much control over the game itself. after all, the game development companies weren¡¯t the ones who developed ready player one. it was su ping¡¯s game, even though many game development companies¡¯ staff had given him a lot of suggestions¡­ however, su ping rarely took advice from others. su ping only hoped that ready player one could become a pure game, a game that was different from traditional online games. in other words, su ping didn¡¯t expect ready player one to be an ordinary game. he wanted the players to feel like they were living in another world while playing the game! it had been half an hour since the game was officially released. just now, the game had exceeded 40 million registered players. however, not many people are paying attention to the matter now. after all, everyone was already numb to the number of people registering for the game. in everyone¡¯s eyes, it was just a string of numbers. if it were any other game that had achieved such an achievement, the entire game development and operations team would probably celebrate for a few days and nights. they would also hold a celebration party. however, when such an achievement happened to ready player one, people didn¡¯t seem to find it exciting. it was because everyone had high expectations for ready player one. after entering the game, players began to explore the vast and free world according to the tutorial that had just been added to the game during the game¡¯s official release. there wasn¡¯t such a guide during the beta test. that was why su ping was ridiculed by many people. many beta testers had gone to his social media account to offer suggestions, hoping that su ping would add a guide for new players when the game was officially released. even if the guidance wasn¡¯t particularly detailed, it should at least tell the players what they should do instead of leaving them with nothing to explore. although the world was free, players still needed some hints and help when they were still beginners. at the same time, angelica, as one of the game¡¯s beta testers, didn¡¯t enter the server like other players. it was because angelica knew very well that there were too many people on the server at the same time. even if the super server jointly established by the major game development companies could withstand such pressure¡­ from time to time, the game would lag or have issues that would affect the player¡¯s gaming experience. therefore, angelica decided to enter the game after some time. after the game development companies had completely stabilized the server, she would enter the game to play. after all, angelica was a beta tester. she had already experienced a lot of content in the game. she wouldn¡¯t look forward to the game for more than a month, like ordinary players. now that it was finally officially released, players couldn¡¯t stand it for even a second. no matter what, they had to rush into their dream game world. in angelica¡¯s live stream room, although she hadn¡¯t started her live stream yet, a large number of viewers had gathered here. many people who might not be able to play games for the time being would naturally choose to watch the live stream to make up for their regrets or kill time. [where¡¯s the host? the game has already been officially released. why hasn¡¯t the host started her live stream yet? could it be that she is secretly playing the game now?] [angelica doesn¡¯t seem to be playing the game. i just searched her account in the game and found that she is offline now.] [don¡¯t tell me the host hasn¡¯t woken up yet, huh? it¡¯s already afternoon, though!] [host, are you a pig? look at the time! why aren¡¯t you getting up and going to work?!] [open the door, open the door, hurry up, and open the door!] [by the way, will the host be live streaming with su ping today? after all, today is the game¡¯s official release. it¡¯s still a memorable day.] [since the two of them have already done a live stream together yesterday, they probably won¡¯t do a live stream today, right?] [why don¡¯t we go to su ping¡¯s account and ask him to go to angelica and do a live stream together!] [good idea! it¡¯s so boring to have only angelica live streaming.] [since i¡¯ve watched su ping and angelica do a live stream together, i couldn¡¯t stand the situation where angelica was the only one doing the live stream!] [let¡¯s go! let¡¯s go to su ping¡¯s account to tell him to find angelica and do a live stream together!] soon, many live stream room viewers had reached an agreement. they all started to visit su ping¡¯s social media account, asking him to go to angelica¡¯s house and do a live stream with her. su ping wasn¡¯t a professional streamer, but he always had a great effect when he played with angelica. moreover, due to their special relationship, their live stream would be more interesting than that of ordinary streamers. it was also the reason angelica¡¯s live stream room viewers became more and more picky. no matter when angelica started her live stream, many people would ask her to invite su ping to join her stream. su ping didn¡¯t plan to meet angelica today. after all, the game was officially released today. su ping had to keep in touch with the game development companies. if there were any problems with the game during its official release, su ping, as the game¡¯s producer, must solve the problems as soon as possible to prevent the small issues from affecting the game experience of too many players. in this way, something that had a small impact could become crucial. su ping was browsing some posts about ready player one. su ping suddenly realized that his social media account¡¯s private messages were increasing rapidly. when su ping clicked on the messages, he found that all the messages were urging him to find angelica to do the live stream together. after su ping saw the messages, he opened angelica¡¯s live stream room. however, he found that she hadn¡¯t started her live stream yet. the situation puzzled su ping. he thought, ¡°i remember i didn¡¯t do anything today but why are there so many people looking for me?¡± [su ping, what the hell are you doing? the game is already officially released! why haven¡¯t you and angelica started a live stream together?] [stop pretending to ignore us! if you know what¡¯s going on, go out and do a live stream with angelica now! don¡¯t let everyone keep urging you!] [su ping, can you be a little more diligent? don¡¯t think you can escape today just because you did the live stream yesterday!] [even if you¡¯re not going to meet angelica, can you at least help us urge angelica to start her live stream as soon as possible?] Chapter 298 - 298 Being Exposed 298 being exposed su ping didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry as he read the new messages popping up non-stop on his phone. su ping thought, ¡°these fans are indeed too impatient. they simply didn¡¯t want to let me, the game producer, rest for even a moment.¡± su ping posted on his social media account. ¡°i¡¯m busy working with the game development companies today, so i don¡¯t have time to do a live stream. please forgive me!¡± su ping read the content again to make sure that there was nothing inappropriate. afterward, he clicked ¡°send.¡± ¡°now, nobody will bother me anymore, right?¡± su ping thought to himself. however, after su ping posted it, not only did the players not stop urging him, but instead more and more players urged him. meanwhile, no one knew who it was, nor did they know what method this person used to find it. someone sent a picture directly. the content in the picture was su ping¡¯s activity on the internet in the past few hours. from the picture, it was clear that su ping had been browsing through various websites for the past few hours. moreover, su ping would often click on all kinds of posts related to ready player one. the picture even included the posts su ping liked. it could be said to have traced everything su ping had done in the past. as soon as the picture was posted, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people. su ping¡¯s account was flooded with comments. [who posted that picture? you¡¯re our hero!] [great! su ping, you didn¡¯t do anything during this time, huh? you were just surfing the internet, but you said that you were working with game development companies. how could you do that?!] [su ping, you¡¯ve learned how to lie before you knew it!] [su ping, you should go to angelica¡¯s house and do a live stream with her. we will just pretend that we didn¡¯t see the picture before. otherwise, you know what i mean!] [brothers, let¡¯s charge together and scold su ping. otherwise, he will keep doing this!] [su ping, you¡¯ve gone astray. how could you do such a thing to deceive everyone? hurry up and get back here to do a live stream!] from the picture, the players would know that su ping had never gone to the game development company. besides, su ping had nothing to do at the moment. the situation was naturally unacceptable to many people. it was especially true for those who chose to believe su ping after reading the post and stopped urging him to do the live stream. they were obviously unhappy. su ping didn¡¯t expect that someone would find out what he was doing online. the scariest thing was that that guy wasn¡¯t just having fun. he had posted all the traces of su ping¡¯s online activities! under such circumstances, su ping knew that no matter what excuse he made, no one would believe him for the rest of the day. although su ping was dissatisfied with that guy, there was nothing he could do about it. su ping had planned to slack off today. at first, he had intended to use his home computer to check out online reviews of ready player one and revel in the sensation of widespread acclaim. however, it seemed that the best way to calm down the situation was to go to angelica¡¯s house and do a live stream with her. su ping believed that as long as he did that, the fans wouldn¡¯t be dissatisfied anymore. su ping immediately sent a message to angelica to ask if she was free. ¡°are you at home now?¡± soon, angelica replied to su ping. ¡°yeah, what¡¯s wrong? didn¡¯t you say yesterday that you were going to rest at home today and not come to my place for a live stream?¡± su ping said helplessly. ¡°i don¡¯t want to either, but those fans won¡¯t let me go. you can go to my social media account and take a look.¡± ¡°someone even posted my browsing history on the internet. if i don¡¯t go to your place to do a live stream today, i¡¯m afraid i won¡¯t be able to live in peace for a long time.¡± ¡°so are you free today? you should be doing a live stream too, right?¡± angelica was stunned by su ping¡¯s words. she opened the social media platform and found the picture of the browsing history posted in the comment section. after reading it, angelica¡¯s small mouth suddenly opened wide, and a look of disbelief appeared on her face. she said it in shock. ¡°oh my goodness! it turns out that there¡¯s someone who can investigate you so thoroughly. speaking of which, how did he do it?¡± su ping shook his head helplessly. ¡°how would i know? i¡¯m just a game producer, not an internet expert. i even think that the guy who posted the picture is a hacker.¡± angelica thought for a moment and agreed. ¡°if you want to do a live stream, come and find me. i¡¯ll turn on the live stream when you¡¯re here. at that time, it should be able to calm down your fans.¡± after obtaining angelica¡¯s permission, su ping started to pack up and head to angelica¡¯s house. on the way, su ping posted a new post to announce that he would be live streaming with angelica this afternoon. afterward, su ping deleted the post he had posted earlier. after all, su ping¡¯s trick had been exposed. it would be embarrassing if he didn¡¯t delete the post. after su ping¡¯s new post, the fans in the live stream room finally calmed down. many players and fans were satisfied with su ping¡¯s actions. [that¡¯s right! this is what you should do! just do your live stream. now, how can anyone be unhappy with you?] [haha! how did the guy who posted the picture do it? it¡¯s all thanks to that guy that su ping and angelica can do a live stream together!] [i announce that from now on, that brother will be the big brother of us fans. if something like this happens again, brother, you must take the lead!] [hurry up and follow him! brother zheng, i have a feeling that you must be a very capable person!] [i still don¡¯t understand how he managed to track su ping¡¯s activities on the internet. it¡¯s so scary!] [brothers, angelica is going to start her live stream soon. see you in the live stream room!] [it¡¯s time to gather in the live stream room!] the news that su ping was going to do a live stream with angelica spread like wildfire. soon, more people knew about the matter. since most of them were unable to play the game for the time being¡­ at this time, they all began to flock to angelica¡¯s live stream room. Chapter 299 - 299 A New Record 299 a new record since today was the game¡¯s official release, the popularity of the game was at its peak. coupled with the fame of su ping and angelica, many players and viewers who heard the news quickly rushed to angelica¡¯s live stream room. although angelica hadn¡¯t started her live stream yet, her live stream room had exceeded three million concurrent viewers! these people were all in the live stream room watching a black screen! even if there was no content in the live stream room for the time being, and they couldn¡¯t see the streamer at all, they were still willing to stay here. it was evident how terrifyingly sticky angelica¡¯s fans were. it was foreseeable that when angelica and su ping appeared in the live stream together, the popularity of the live stream would explode. at this moment, many of angelica¡¯s live-stream fans were making predictions about the matter online. everyone was discussing whether the live stream would break the record! would they be able to create a new record in the live-streaming history that no one could break? of course, there was still someone who could break the record, and it was angelica herself! finally, as more and more people joined the live stream, su ping arrived at angelica¡¯s house. angelica was still wearing her usual pajamas. however, every time su ping saw angelica with this look, his heart would beat faster. no matter how many times su ping looked at it, he would never get tired of it. ¡°since you¡¯re here, go to my place and start the live stream. there are already a lot of people in the live stream room. i¡¯m worried that if we wait any longer, it might cause a lot of dissatisfaction.¡± ¡°today is the first day of the official open beta for ready player one. it¡¯s better not to have such a situation.¡± after angelica saw su ping, she smiled sweetly at him and said gently. su ping nodded. ¡°alright. i¡¯m coming now, i¡¯ve kept everyone waiting.¡± soon, the two of them were ready. as angelica pressed the button to start the live stream, the popularity and number of people in the live stream room instantly began to increase exponentially. just a minute ago, angelica¡¯s live stream room only had three million viewers. however, angelica had only been live streaming for a minute, and the number of viewers had doubled! apparently, many people had spread the news of angelica¡¯s live stream, so more people gathered in her live stream room. even su ping, who had seen a lot of things, couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue in wonder as he watched the number of live stream room viewers increase rapidly. ¡°i feel like you¡¯re going to create a new miracle in the live-streaming industry tonight!¡± ¡°what do you think the maximum number of tonight¡¯s concurrent viewers will be?¡± hearing the question, angelica immediately fell into deep thought. angelica usually didn¡¯t care about how many viewers there were in the live stream room. after all, there were too many people watching her live stream every day. in the end, angelica was already numb to the number of viewers. when the number of viewers reached a certain level, it would just be a meaningless number. right now, angelica only hoped that she and the viewers could enjoy the live stream. as for the other things, they didn¡¯t matter. angelica said with a smile after a while. ¡°i think there might be a chance to break through 15 million concurrent viewers!¡± ¡°i remember that the peak number of concurrent viewers was 13 million.¡± su ping nodded in agreement. the number was quite reasonable. at this moment, the live stream had already begun, so the live stream room viewers had also heard the question and answer between the two of them and began to comment. [15 million isn¡¯t enough. you¡¯ll break through 20 million concurrent viewers tonight!] [angelica, you have too little confidence in your current influence and popularity! your current popularity is unique in the world. a mere 10 million people are only a fraction of the number of your live stream room viewers!] [host, i hope you¡¯ll know how popular you are and can be bolder when guessing!] [haha! angelica is too cute. maybe this is why i never get tired of watching her live stream!] [by the way, does su ping have anything to say to everyone? you were planning to find an excuse to slack off today, right?] [haha! now that you mention it, i remember that su ping¡¯s lie was exposed during the day. the brother who exposed him is awesome!] [that¡¯s right! he even managed to find out the details of the posts that su ping opened in a few seconds. that¡¯s amazing!] [i wonder what su ping thinks of that person?] suddenly, someone mentioned the picture from the day. su ping hated that guy when he saw the comments. initially, su ping only needed to stay at home today and receive good news from the game development companies from time to time. the rest of the time, he just needed to lie comfortably on the sofa and go online to see how the netizens praised ready player one and himself. in the end, because that guy had investigated him thoroughly, he was directly publicly executed on the internet, and the truth of his slacking was exposed. as a result, su ping had no choice but to come to angelica¡¯s house to live stream together! su ping was in a bad mood at that thought. the live stream room viewers were delighted when they saw su ping¡¯s gloomy face. [look, su ping doesn¡¯t look happy¡­] [haha! you deserve it. who asked you to not tell the truth?!] [that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right! as fans, we are so understanding. if you just say that you¡¯re tired and want to rest for a day, everyone might agree!] [haha! finally, we have a chance to catch su ping¡¯s weakness!] [su ping, don¡¯t be angry. you don¡¯t have to hide anything from us. just tell us what you want to do. we will support you!] [that¡¯s right! su ping, don¡¯t do that again. you¡¯re treating us like outsiders.] seeing the comments, angelica couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth and laugh while sitting beside su ping. even though su ping glared at her, angelica still didn¡¯t restrain herself. ¡°look at what everyone is saying. they¡¯re not mocking you or laughing at you. don¡¯t look so unhappy.¡± ¡°hurry up and put on your equipment. let¡¯s enter the game together. today is the day of your game¡¯s official release. wouldn¡¯t it be a pity if we didn¡¯t enter the game to take a look?¡± ¡°hurry up, the official ready player one must be very different from its beta test!¡± ¡°i heard that the game is super lively now!¡± Chapter 300 - 300 The Fanmeeting 300 the fanmeeting in the end, angelica¡¯s persuasion worked. no matter what the viewers said, su ping didn¡¯t seem to change his mind. however, after angelica said a few words, su ping immediately put on the equipment. as a result, it immediately attracted a barrage of comments. [so sweet!] [i suspect that su ping did it on purpose. he wanted angelica to comfort him!] [su ping, you¡¯re such a scheming man!] [alright, alright. hurry up and start the game. i bet there are a lot of people waiting for su ping and angelica to come online!] [haha! the scene must be spectacular!] soon, su ping put on all the equipment and logged into ready player one¡¯s server with angelica. when the familiar login light effect ended and su ping and angelica opened their eyes again, they were shocked by what they saw. they were currently on a commercial planet in the game, which meant that players could shop here. whether it was the necessary medicine for the game or the weapons that could increase the combat strength of the players, there were a lot of them. moreover, the price was often more reasonable than in other places. therefore, many players would come to this planet to buy the items they needed before entering other games to play. it was foreseeable that this planet would be the most popular place in the game in the future. it was why su ping and angelica chose to land in this place. during the beta test, the planet looked a little desolate. even though everything here was perfect and full of technology, the number of beta testers was too small. as a result, this place wasn¡¯t very popular. even when the flow of people was the highest in a day, there were only a few pedestrians on the streets of this planet. however, at this moment, when su ping and angelica entered the game again, there were people everywhere! especially where the two of them were at this moment. at a glance, there was a huge crowd of people. angelica couldn¡¯t help but sigh at the scene before her. ¡°this is simply too terrifying. i didn¡¯t expect the number of people to increase so much all of a sudden!¡± ¡°if it weren¡¯t for the fact that this is a game, i would be worried that this planet would be overwhelmed!¡± su ping nodded. ¡°yes, there are even more people here than i thought, but it¡¯s reasonable.¡± ¡°after all, this planet was originally a place for shopping. at the same time, it can be considered a supply station before the battle.¡± ¡°it¡¯s normal for people to choose to be here for shopping.¡± afterward, su ping and angelica entered the commercial street, which usually wasn¡¯t crowded. the two of them walked on the street and experience its lively atmosphere. a feeling as if a lifetime had passed surged into their hearts. at this moment, when they recalled what the commercial street used to look like, they felt like a long time had passed. it was as if the beta test started only yesterday. [why hasn¡¯t anyone recognized the two of you yet? the netizens here didn¡¯t seem smart!] [that¡¯s true. i don¡¯t think the people in the commercial street are very smart. they don¡¯t even know su ping and angelica. how disappointing!] [is there anyone in the live stream room who wants to log in now? this place should be easy to find, right?] [haha, i¡¯m already logging in. don¡¯t worry!] [look! someone recognized su ping and angelica!] as the saying went, speak of the devil. just as many netizens were about to watch the show, they realized that no one had appeared¡­ some of them had already set their sights on su ping and angelica. they were heading straight for them. the two of them had expected such a situation before they went online. they had long guessed that this place would become a place like a fan meeting. however, it was an online game, after all, and such situations were inevitable. instead of hiding from the fans like playing hide-and-seek, it was better to meet everyone openly. this way, it could reduce the novelty of the fans towards the two of them. when they saw the two of them in the future, the fans could treat them normally. it was the only way to get things done once and for all. ¡°wow! it¡¯s su ping and angelica. i didn¡¯t expect you two to register accounts in the game! i thought all those news stories were a lie!¡± ¡°haha! i finally met su ping and angelica in person. what a great day!¡± ¡°su ping, su ping, i¡¯m your fan for ten years. can i take a photo with you?¡± ¡°su ping, i want to give birth to your babies!¡± ¡°wow, angelica is next to su ping. she¡¯s as beautiful as she is in real life!¡± ¡°i want to take a photo with su ping and angelica too. don¡¯t fight with me. move aside!¡± gradually, more and more people heard about su ping and angelica and gathered around. a big circle was formed around them. as far as the eye could see, it was filled with densely packed people. moreover, since it was a game, these people could be said to have all kinds of appearances and even races! at this moment, the aesthetic differences between people could be seen. some people might be more conservative in the game and wouldn¡¯t use overly exaggerated models as their image. however, some people were quite bold and unrestrained. they might as well give up their human body and transform into another race in the game, or even a huge robot! [haha! look at that guy. why is he a lizardman?] [damn! there¡¯s another robot over there! it turns out that we can use a robot as our own body in this game!] [i think i¡¯m starting to regret it. i would have acquired a robot body if i had known earlier. it would be so cool!] [i have to say that the degree of freedom of the models in this game is already much better than most games!] [haha, i¡¯m using an elf model in the game. it¡¯s so beautiful!] [if it weren¡¯t for the blackout, i would have entered the game to take a photo with su ping. damn it!] [it¡¯s alright. there will be more opportunities in the future. can¡¯t you see that su ping doesn¡¯t mind taking photos with his fans?] [that¡¯s right! su ping and angelica are more approachable. they don¡¯t put on airs like celebrities. if it were other celebrities, they would be afraid of being recognized!] [hehe! brothers, after taking a photo with su ping, i feel my life is complete!] Chapter 301 - 301 The Challenge and Future 301 the challenge and future as the number of fans around su ping and angelica increased, the two of them began to find it difficult to cope with such a crowded scene. moreover, the key point was that neither of them wanted to disappoint their fans, so they wouldn¡¯t refuse anyone¡¯s requests. however, this way, the live stream room viewers¡¯ viewing experience was greatly decreased. many people began to suggest that the two of them shouldn¡¯t continue their fan meetings. [by the way, do you want to spend the entire day here taking photos and doing fan signs?] [can the fans here be a little more rational? can¡¯t you see that su ping and angelica are already very tired?] [that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. all of you move to the side. i can¡¯t even squeeze in¡­] [haha! su ping and angelica are so patient!] after a long time, su ping finally started to get impatient. he shouted at the fans around him. ¡°everyone, please calm down. there¡¯s still a long way to go in the game. angelica and i will often appear in the game in the future.¡± ¡°think about it. how many people in the world are my and angelica¡¯s fans? we can¡¯t give you all autographs and photos.¡± ¡°so today¡¯s fan sign and photo session ends here. don¡¯t you want to see how angelica completed the main plot of ready player one?¡± su ping¡¯s words disappointed everyone at first. however, when they heard the last sentence, everyone became excited again. moreover, no one was asking for a photo or signature anymore. ¡°the main storyline? if you didn¡¯t mention it, i would have forgotten about this!¡± ¡°that¡¯s right. ready player one also has a main storyline. doesn¡¯t that racing game have to rely on the storyline to find the key to clearing the game?¡± ¡°haha! i¡¯d rather see angelica play the game¡¯s plot than take a photo. let¡¯s go! let¡¯s not waste angelica¡¯s time!¡± ¡°forget it, forget it. everyone, let¡¯s gather in the live stream room!¡± ¡°speaking of which, how do i unlock the main storyline of ready player one? i don¡¯t think i¡¯ve ever heard of it before!¡± ¡°oh, right! where does the main storyline of this game begin?¡± su ping smiled when he saw the questions in the comments. afterward, he said mysteriously. ¡°of course! you don¡¯t know how to activate the main storyline because the main storyline is activated by everyone at the same time!¡± ¡°and only i have the authority to activate the main storyline. to be precise, it¡¯s not the main storyline of the game, but the main storyline challenge!¡± as soon as su ping finished his sentence, everyone¡¯s attention was drawn to him, whether players in the game, players not playing the game, or players watching the live stream. the main storyline challenge? soon, someone realized something. [it can¡¯t be the same speed challenge as before, right? to see who can complete all the challenges faster?] [are players from all over the world participating? does that mean that i can get a generous reward after completing the challenge?] [how difficult is it? can an ordinary player like me participate?] [sigh, there¡¯s another challenge. it looks like a bad player like me doesn¡¯t need to think about it anymore!] one could see that some people were happy while others were sad through the various comments. of course, the happy players were the ones who had excellent gaming skills. the ones who were sad were the casual players in the game. su ping said it with a faint smile. ¡°everyone, you don¡¯t have to worry about it at all, and you don¡¯t have to feel that your gaming skills aren¡¯t good enough.¡± ¡°it¡¯s because this challenge will only test your ability to observe the details. the challenge of your gaming skills isn¡¯t the main point!¡± ¡°now, i will officially start the main storyline challenge for ready player one. after the main storyline challenge is activated, everyone will know what the challenge is for!¡± su ping suddenly took out a colorful key from his pocket after he finished his words. afterward, everyone saw su ping insert the key into the ground under his feet! it turned out that there was a keyhole here! no wonder su ping and angelica were here today! as the key was inserted and turned gently¡­ an invisible wave instantly spread throughout the game world of ready player one. at the same time, all the players in the game froze on the spot. the entire game world seemed to have fallen into a time freeze. everything had stopped. those who weren¡¯t in the game but had already registered an account also received a message notification, telling them that something very important had happened in the game and that the game hoped that they could go online as soon as possible. when the players came back to their senses, they realized that they seemed to have arrived in a unique space. they saw su ping here! of course, they were watching a video that su ping had pre-recorded. su ping opened his arms with a smile. many keys of different colors appeared in front of him, spinning in the air. su ping said faintly, ¡°the main task of this challenge is to collect these keys. after you have collected all the keys, you will get the final treasure!¡± ¡°there is only one treasure in the world. other than protecting the winner, i will fulfill the winner¡¯s wish.¡± ¡°as long as i can do it.¡± ¡°now, i¡¯ll give you the clue to the first key. do you remember the racing game from before?¡± ¡°the first key is at the end of the track. as for how to complete the game, you can get clues from the archives in oasis. ¡± ¡°now, the challenge has begun.¡± ¡°good luck, everyone!¡± after su ping finished his last sentence, the video ended, and everyone returned to where they previously were. those who were participating in the battle continued to fight, while those who were strolling still stood on the street. however, everyone was extremely excited. the only one in the world? how big was the treasure? at this moment, no one cared about su ping and angelica¡¯s live stream. the number of concurrent viewers in angelica¡¯s live stream room also rapidly decreased because everyone went back to put on their devices and quickly entered the game. everyone wanted to be the lucky one and obtain a unique treasure. noticing that the number of viewers in the live stream was dropping, su ping¡¯s eyes fell on angelica. su ping said it with a light smile. ¡°what do you think, angelica? are you confident about this challenge?¡± hearing it, angelica slightly raised her chin and said it confidently and proudly. ¡°hmph! can i see this as a test that you assigned me?¡± ¡°i remember you once mentioned in the video that as long as players complete the challenge, you¡¯ll fulfill the person¡¯s wish, right?¡± ¡°then i¡¯ll tell you what my wish is now.¡± ¡°if i succeed, i want you to be my boyfriend!¡± su ping was slightly stunned, but he quickly smiled and said. ¡°alright!¡±
