Chapter 4 The First Victim

Lu Zhixing has always been a very active person. Once he decides to do something, he will take the initiative instead of passively waiting for an opportunity.

But now in this situation, how to take the initiative to attack?
Game channel resources are a very rare and precious resource whether in the previous life or in this world. The companies that master the channels can almost be said to make money lying down. It is obviously impossible for Lu Zhixing to have such resources.

After thinking about it for a while, he opened the video site to search for games to complain about, and then found a few big UP masters with more than a million followers.

It also includes Xu Jing who he met in the park that night.

Seeing Xu Jing's account, Lu Zhixing's heart skipped a beat, and he clicked on her live replay almost with the determination to die.

Sure enough, there is the section of the park...

However, after experiencing the embarrassment of digging the ground with his toes, Lu Zhixing found that this little episode did not attract much attention. It only became a meme that was not very popular among Xu Jing's fans, and did not break the circle in any way. Signs of discussion.

Moreover, the scene at that time was relatively dark, and Xu Jing's mobile phone camera was not particularly high-resolution, so no one should be able to recognize that it was Lu Zhixing.

"It's okay, it's okay, I won't die."

Lu Zhixing let out a sigh of relief, and decided that he must find a way to keep a distance from this anchor in the future.

It's best not to see each other again in this life.

After such a screening, Lu Zhixing quickly screened out an initial list of victims from these UP masters with millions of followers.

Then, he started looking for the contact information of these people.

The homepage of the UP owner basically has contact information for business cooperation, but Lu Zhixing obviously has no money to engage in any business cooperation with them.

He was looking for a fan base.

Soon, Lu Zhixing searched the profiles and news of these UP owners, and successfully found the fan groups of three of them, and joined them pretending to be fans.

Open three chat windows, patiently waiting for the UP master to come and go.

Although there are many fish in the school, it is meaningless to catch other people.Still have to wait for the big fish of the UP master himself to surface, and then decide the world with one shot.

After waiting patiently for several hours, Lu Zhixing insisted on squatting from noon to evening, and finally saw the UP master bubbling in one of the groups.

The ID of this UP master is "Wandering Cowherd", whose real name is Liu Liang, and is affectionately called "Brother Niu" by fans.He has more than 130 million fans on the Changteng video website, and he can be regarded as a relatively influential and well-known game area UP host.

Lu Zhixing was very satisfied.

Okay, the first victim is you!

……

As soon as Liu Liang bubbled up, the group immediately became lively.

"Hey, are you going to start the live broadcast?"

"What game is Brother Niu playing today?"

"Hurry up, hurry up, my noodles are soaked, and I'm waiting for your live broadcast to serve!"

Generally, UP hosts mainly make videos, and live broadcasts are often not very popular, but Liu Liang seems to be an outlier, and his live broadcasts are also quite popular, and he often ranks among the top ten in the live broadcast section of Changteng Video.

This is more in line with Lu Zhixing's image of a perfect victim.

Dog Group Master (Wandering Cowherd): "I don't know. Go to the official platform to find out if there are any new games after the broadcast starts. Randomly pick a lucky game."

It's now!

Lu Zhixing seized the opportunity decisively, and the moment he spoke, he also sent out what he had already typed in the chat box.

In this way, the UP master can be seen to the greatest extent.

"Brother Niu, I strongly recommend the new game "Zen"! This game is very fun, rich in philosophy, and rich in puzzle-solving content. After playing it, at least one episode of the video has a million views!"

In fact, in order to ensure that the UP owner can see it, it is best to post the same information several times.But in most groups, swiping the screen is illegal, and it is easy to backfire, so Lu Zhixing only posted it once, and then waited patiently.

Fortunately, this sentence was not drowned in the chatting and spanking of the group of friends, but successfully took the topic away.

"Zen? Is this the name of the game? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"It's an independent game."

"Philosophical? Rich in puzzles? What type of game? Art? Escape room?"

Many people in the group were aroused curiosity.

After a while, Liu Liang said: "OK, I'll write it down, let's play it later."

Not bad, she is still a favorite UP master.

In fact, these few words of Lu Zhixing have been carefully considered. "Fun" represents the fun of the game, "philosophical" represents the spiritual connotation of the game, and "puzzle-solving content" can easily stimulate the challenge desire of the UP owner.

The most important thing is the last sentence, "at least one episode of video that has been played by millions", this is simply an irresistible temptation for UP owners!

Of course, the real situation of this game...

It can only be said that it is best not to believe the words of the water friends in the group, otherwise the anchor will realize that people's hearts are sinister.

Lu Zhixing opened the live broadcast room on the computer and waited patiently.

Whether this game can become popular or not depends on this!

……

"Moo?

"Brothers, I'm going to be spicy.

"I'm going to find a few new games to play today, let me see, um, let's play the game recommended by the group of friends, what is it called?

"Oh yes, Zen."

Liu Liang started broadcasting, and his voice is quite distinctive and recognizable, which is a very important plus for UP hosts and anchors.In addition, knowing how to create program effects and a unique sense of humor are of course also essential.

The audience came one after another, and the popularity of the live broadcast room soon began to increase steadily, and various gifts began to be swiped.

Under the attention of fans, Liu Liang opened the official game store and searched for the keyword "Zen".

"Huh? This game doesn't even have a review!

"It's a new game, it's too new!"

He was a little confused, and turned to look at the game introduction hoping to get more information, but this did not solve his doubts, but made him even more confused.

"All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew or electricity, should we observe them in this way?

"Good guy, you can play tricks.

"OK, let's download it and play it. According to the group friends, this game is rich in philosophy, and the content of solving puzzles is very rich. I hope the group friends are not lying."

There are two versions of the game, the PC version and the VR version, and the prices are 5 yuan and 10 yuan respectively.

Of course, Lu Zhixing also referred to the average price of games in the world before determining the price. The price of this kind of cheating game must not be too high. If it exceeds 30, it is considered a steal, and it will not achieve the purpose of making small profits but quick sales.

The price of 1 yuan is too low. If the game is really popular, it will seriously affect the profit.

On the whole, the price of 5 yuan is just right.

The VR version sells for 10 yuan, on the one hand because the VR version has a more detailed picture, and on the other hand because the prices of VR games in this world are generally high.

After all, the only ones who can afford the fifth-generation VR helmets are rich brothers, and they are not short of this money.

Of course, Liu Liang has a fifth-generation VR game helmet, but the live broadcast technology of the fifth-generation VR headset is not yet mature, and the game library is not too rich, so his usual live broadcast mainly focuses on PC games.

Soon, the game is downloaded.

At this time, Liu Liang obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and didn't raise his vigilance because of the small capacity of the game.This is also normal, after all, the capacity of most indie games is very small.

Click "Start Game".

The screen went black, but soon came back on again.Without any logo or title interface, Liu Liang found himself directly in the game.

This game is the No.1 viewing angle. You can see the prison uniform on your body when you look down, and you can see the cold bars when you look up.

The cold moonlight shone in through the iron windows, reflecting a small square on the ground, and the shadows of the iron fences were clearly visible.

"what?"

Liu Liang was stunned, his first reaction was that he had entered the wrong game.

Isn't the name of this game "Zen"?How did you turn into tears behind bars?

Cut out the desktop and confirm the name of the program.

That's right, it's "Zen"?

Liu Liang vaguely had a guess that he seemed to be fooled...

However, as a well-trained anchor and UP host, of course he will not deny a game so easily, at least he has to experience it to see if there is another mystery in the game.

Even if it is confirmed that it is relying on the defense, as a UP master, you should have the insight to eat and drink while talking and laughing.

Liu Liang's first reaction was to interact with the prison door.

However, his hands just pushed the cell door, and there was no response after that.

"what?"

Liu Liang didn't give up, he went around the entire cell again, clicking every corner that seemed to be interactive, but the ending was still the same.

There are no interactive options!

Liu Liang is numb.

He thought that there were clues hidden somewhere in the cell, and he could find the key to the cell by following the clues, but after trying it, he realized that it was all his own wishful thinking.

Not really!
On the bullet screen, the audience also began to lose their nerve.

"What game is Brother Niu playing today, a prison simulator?"

"Isn't this game called "Zen"? It's obviously not the right product, can this pass the review?"

"Today's opening broadcast is Thunderbolt!"

"This is fast forwarding to the part of the garbage game appreciation competition? Isn't this part only available in the live broadcast at midnight before?"

At this time, Liu Liang's heart was bewildered, and he felt like he had been tricked by the fans.

But he was not discouraged, and manipulated the characters to start a carpet search in the cell, not letting go of any clues.

At least I have to figure out what this game wants me to do first, right?
Even if you are making complaints, you have to understand the game first. This is the professional quality of the UP master in the game area!

Finally, hard work paid off, and Liu Liang successfully found an unremarkable painting on one of the walls.

This painting is not big, the frame is only the size of a palm, and it is still in a dark corner.

Liu Liang had been looking down for the key before, so he ignored it.

After moving the small dot in the center of the field of vision, there are interactive options!

Liu Liang couldn't help cheering up, and immediately clicked the mouse.

Then, the characters in the game... sat down.

The painting appeared in the center of the character's field of vision, and then, no matter how Liu Liang moved the mouse, the perspective did not change in any way.

As for this painting, there is nothing special, just a tree.

Liu Liang was a little dazed, but still had an unrealistic fantasy about the game.

"Wait a minute, audience lords, let's go over it.

"This game should have other interactive options, right?
"If you really can only go to jail, then this game should be called 'Prison Bottom'!

"Since it's called 'Zen' and has passed the review, it means that its game content must have at least a little connection with the title.

"No, I have to look again."

Liu Liang was not discouraged. As a game zone UP master, perseverance is an essential quality.

Ordinary players can be persuaded to quit by cheating games at the speed of light, but the UP owner must have the insight to eat shit first and enjoy the last. After all, watching the UP owner suffer is also a great enjoyment for the audience.

Liu Liang clicked the right mouse button to exit the observation mode of the painting, and continued to explore the cell instead.

As a result, he almost interacted with the entire cell one brick at a time, and as a result, there were really no interactive options!

In the entire cell, the only interactive option is really only that painting!
"Could it be...the clues to escape from the prison are hidden in this painting?"

Liu Liang was completely at a loss. He clicked on the painting again and began to look at it.

Well, a tree.

A tree that grows in the wilderness is neither tall nor short, neither thick nor thin, and has no characteristics. It is just an ordinary tree.

There are red flowers and green grass on it, and the sun is shining...

However, there is no sign of any hidden puzzles at all!

Liu Liang almost exerted all his strength, staring at the picture as if playing "Let's find fault", trying to find any clues.

1 minutes passed.

2 minute has passed...

Liu Liang put his hand on his forehead and fell into deep thought.

He began to think about life, oh no, about tree life.

what is happening?
At this moment, the veteran game UP owner's ten years of game experience seems to be completely zero, and he has come to a completely strange wasteland...

……

In the live broadcast room, a large number of bullet screens floated by.

"Good guy, the modeling of this game is so detailed, why is the gameplay so out of the ordinary?"

"Commonly known as a plea wrapped in gold foil?"

"There's a grass move in that corner on the left! Really!"

"Don't lie, there's no grass moving, it's just a leaf falling off, didn't you see it?"

Seeing all kinds of bullet screens, Liu Liang felt helpless.

What about trust between people!
I don't care if the game creators play tricks, but you fans also play tricks on me, it's really outrageous!

Just when Liu Liang was about to press alt+F4 to give up, a high-level barrage floated by.

"Tell me, is there a possibility that this game doesn't let you solve puzzles at all?"

Seeing this barrage, Liu Liang was very dissatisfied.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! According to this game flow, how can we proceed without solving puzzles? There must be some kind of trigger mechanism... What the hell??"

Liu Liang just wanted to refute this barrage, but in the next second, the game screen changed!
Originally, the drawing only took up about one-third of the screen, but now, the drawing began to expand rapidly and gradually took over the entire screen.

And the tree in the painting has changed from static to dynamic.

The breeze is blowing, the leaves are rustling, and the warm sunshine is shining, making people completely forget that they are in the painting, leaving only the natural and tranquil atmosphere of the wilderness.

Liu Liang's eyes gradually became dull, and after a long time, his voice full of doubts came from the live broadcast room again.

"what?"
