Chapter 353 The Trap Has Been Set (Third Update)
In order to let others know the weirdness of this game, Qian Xiaohao and his maid specially used a fool's tutorial. The purpose is to let every player who reads his own strategy know how to trigger this problem.
However, this triggering method is still too troublesome. Most players regard this matter as a joke, but they did not expect Eric to discover this problem.
After restarting the game, Eric opened another save file, and then followed Qian Xiaohao's strategy step by step to play the game, and then came to the node that changed his destiny again.
At this point, the game seems to have reached a watershed.
His difficulty began to rise sharply. It seemed that everything before was just a warm-up, and the real challenge was just beginning now.
With the support of the audience in his live broadcast room, Eric kept trying, but failed every time.
If the game is too difficult, he can just walk away without his audience saying anything.
But this game is so weird.
Every time you try, it seems that you can make a little progress, and the mystery of the game will be solved a little bit, giving people the determination to continue exploring.
But this little bit is like the little bit of bait on the fishhook. The pain begins after you eat it.
New puzzles will appear later, and one clue will lead to a large number of new clues, making the game more complicated.
Before Eric could figure out what the business transaction game was about, the wife opposite was accidentally murdered. All clues, including surveillance, indicated that the murderer was Eric, and he didn't even know if it was him.
Absurd, weird, confusing, psychological horror... Until this moment, Eric didn't understand why this game was labeled 15+, because its experience was really weird.
After playing until morning, Eric stopped, looked at the camera and said tiredly: "Everyone, I don't know if I should continue. I have a high tolerance for horror games, and I haven't had any problems playing the "Zero" series. But "Life is Wonderful" makes me feel a little tired. I don't deny that it is a fun game, but constantly thinking about this mystery makes me feel too tired."
"And unlike some games that create mysteries for the sake of mysteries and reversals for the sake of reversals, the puzzles in this game are too natural, as if they are part of the world, making people feel that they can be infinitely deep. Dig space.”
"I feel like the secrets behind this game could be infinite, but I can't stop. I hope I can forget about it after I get some sleep. Well, bye."
After the broadcast, Eric took a deep sleep, but he still felt uncomfortable when he woke up.
A large number of mysteries are still bothering him, making him want to continue exploring, but he is afraid that continuing to explore will make him trapped in it and unable to extricate himself.
After struggling for a long time, he finally decided to have a chat with the poster, "Qian Xiaohao."
According to his imagination, the other party should be a master who is obsessed with games. He can communicate with the other party more. It would be better if he could know how the other party discovered this easter egg.
Qian Xiaohao was a little confused when he saw Eric's message.
He has been playing "Wonderful Life" these days, and his skills are as bad as ever.
However, his level is just right, allowing him to play out the difficulty modes of each profession very well, and then conduct video analysis and research.
But after posting a few posts, no one was interested in his discovery, so he gave up the idea of cooperating with others and prepared to have sex with his maid until death. Unexpectedly, he saw Eric's message.
Looking at the other party's message requesting contact, Qian Xiaohao hesitated for a long time, but still did not reply.
Noticing that Qian Xiaohao was hesitating, the maid asked doubtfully: "What are you hesitating about? You were never so entangled when you paid for games before."
"Krypton gold costs money, but at this time, it may cost life. What if he wants to cheat me out of my money?"
"Is your persecution paranoia a bit serious?"
"This is a necessary means of self-protection. No, I have to observe him carefully to prevent him from harming me."
When Qian Xiaohao was about to observe the other party for a while, Eric had already sent a new message:
[Mr. Qian Xiaohao, I am very curious about how you discovered the Easter egg in the game. I believe you must have special gaming skills, and I just want to make a video to talk about the Easter egg you discovered. So, would it be convenient for me to have a good chat with you? 】
[No problem, I can do it now! ] Qian Xiaohao responded excitedly.
Looking at Qian Xiaohao who was beaming happily, the maid crossed her arms and asked with a sneer: "Who just said that we need to observe him carefully?"
Qian Xiaohao turned his head in embarrassment, but still said firmly: "But, he called me sir."
"I can do that too."
"It's a bit too harsh for you to call me that. I think the relationship between us can be closer."
The maid looked at Qian Xiaohao and suddenly laughed.
Patting Qian Xiaohao's head, she said softly: "Okay, I understand, then I won't disturb your communication with your good friends. Just take your time."
Watching the maid leave humming a song, Qian Xiaohao felt that the woman's mood was ever-changing, and he might not be able to understand it in his life.
Pulling his thoughts back to the forum, Qian Xiaohao began to exchange experiences in the game with Eric, and they talked a lot without realizing it.
When he knew that Eric was going to study the difficulty mode in the game with others, Qian Xiaohao generously handed over to Eric the methods he had researched to enable the difficulty mode for some professions, completing a cross-border game exchange.
The torch was handed over at this moment, and Eric took over the baton from Qian Xiaohao and started his own journey.
Thanks to Eric, the so-called hard mode has finally been refuted, indicating that there is no hard mode in the game, but a more hard-core mode.
In this mode, the difficulty of the game will indeed become higher, but the complexity of the game plot will also increase.
Players can obtain more props that have never been seen before, unlock more bizarre plots and outrageous characters, the content of the game will become more brain-burning, and there will be more obscure content to play.
Subsequently, this trend of solving puzzles spread from Prussia to Europe, then from Europe to other regions, and finally circled back to China.
After seeing Eric introducing the conditions for opening this mode in his video, and specifically thanking Qian Xiaohao and his maid for their outstanding contributions, the Chinese players fell silent.
Qian Xiaohao's post was discovered, and a group of players in Xiamen left messages:
[Sorry, Brother Qian, I misunderstood you. Next time you come to my place, I'll treat you to barbecue to make amends. 】
[Brother Qian, you know me. I really didn’t argue with you last time. It was just that it was hard to talk about. Next time you come to my place, I'll treat you to copper hot pot. 】
[Brother Qian, I always thought you had nothing but money, but now it seems that it’s my fault, brother. Next time you come to my place, I'll treat you to seafood. 】
【Brother Qian...】
Seeing Liu Yan's apology and invitation to dinner, Qian Xiaohao felt elated, and the happiness that he couldn't get with money grew wantonly in his body.
For the first time in his life, he did not rely on his own ability to make money, but relied on his "talent" to gain recognition from everyone, which made him feel that this is the way to play the game.
"Phew, the feeling of being respected is so comfortable."
The maid looked at Qian Xiaohao and felt that this child was quite hard-working. He might not be able to do anything well in his life.
But seeing Qian Xiaohao's happy look, she felt that this was not bad and it was okay to let him enjoy it.
This craze for studying "Life is Wonderful" continues to expand and has become a popular gaming phenomenon recently.
The discovery of this point has quite a legendary effect. From Qian Xiaohao's discovery of this problem to Eric's discovery of this problem, it is full of coincidences. If there is a problem in one link, the easter egg will disappear, and at least it will be delayed for a year or two before it is discovered. .
The romantic way of discovery adds some color to this Easter egg, and the Easter egg itself also has a desire to continue to explore.
And this desire is what Fang Cheng wants players to experience.
Using the data analysis provided by Wang Xiaoying, Fang Cheng found that the popularity of the game has continued to increase since Eric released the relevant video.
Players all like to hunt for novelties. If the weird atmosphere brought by the weird fairy is directly released, it is basically impossible for the players to reach this level.
And if this weirdness is hidden behind the calm, then players will keep digging downwards like seeing an iceberg, hoping to see more bizarre content.
But if you do this, you will fall into the trap set by Fang Cheng.
There may not only be icebergs under the sea, but also sea monsters. The weirdness of the sea will make players immersed in it, but become more and more anxious.
Only when you give up the pursuit will you find that there is no need to delve into some things in the first place, because it will not have any impact on you at all, but will only increase your worries.
Forgetting these insignificant contents of life and keeping your thoughts focused on important things is the joy of ignorance.
Looking at the data, Fang Cheng finally smiled with satisfaction.
He has already set up the trap, just waiting for the players to take the bait.
