Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

As if realizing that her question might be ambiguous, Liuying added a sentence at the end.

Wang Xuanqiao thought for a moment before replying, "Have you heard of multiple worlds? You've now crossed the barrier between two worlds to come to me."

Liuying was shocked at that time.

Blade, are you sending me to another world?

"...Are you serious?" Sam's tone softened. "How am I supposed to get back?"

"Just go back through the door." Wang Xuanqiao pointed to the sensor door for her, "But I suggest you get a card before you leave, because only with a card can you come back anytime. Otherwise, you may not know when you can come back next time."

Hearing this, Liuying hesitated for a moment.

Although common sense tells her not to trust strangers, she feels in her heart that the man in front of her is not lying.

Especially when faced with the warning he had issued with Sam, he didn't even seem to panic. It might be understandable that he didn't recognize the Grammer Iron Cavalry, but for a civilization unable to connect to the stars, mecha itself should be a deterrent.

Forget it, the other party is not hostile, so let's just remain friendly.

Since it's an arcade, it wouldn't hurt to get a card. Silver Wolf would definitely be interested, and maybe Star too...

"How much do I need to pre-charge to get the card?" she asked, relieved. "Do you accept credit points?"

"I don't deal in money here. All possible expenses are paid by the players playing the game." Wang Xuanqiao stood up and walked towards the counter. "You can understand it as, playing games here can generate income, and I take a cut of these profits."

"Generating income from playing games?" Liuying naturally used Silver Wolf as a reference in her mind. "That doesn't sound legal."

"You might be thinking of something like RMT, but that's just a sideline business at best, nothing compared to what I'm doing." Wang Xuanqiao had already reached the counter and started activating the terminal. "Let's put it this way, I'll unlock targeted games based on membership status."

"If your willpower isn't strong enough, you'll likely unlock a game that helps you strengthen your willpower. If you're just looking for fun, then the game you unlock will generally be one that suits your preferences. Do you understand what I mean?"

Sam paused for a moment. Then, the iron figure suddenly disappeared in a stream of flames, replaced by a petite girl.

"Then, what if I want to cure my illness?" Liuying, who appeared in her true form, stared at Wang Xuanqiao and asked.

At this moment, Wang Xuanqiao also noticed something unusual about the girl.

It seemed that the mecha itself had some life-support function, which was why the girl looked normal in it. In other words, the girl was in a predicament where she couldn't easily leave the mecha.

Unexpectedly, another guest in trouble. Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but wonder why it seemed like Hu Tao was the only one here just for fun.

"Your illness is quite rare." He looked at the girl again. "I can't think of a game that would be suitable for your condition, but perhaps... it could be something with healing spells."

"But there's no point in guessing. Just come over and get your card unlocked and you'll know."

Wang Xuanqiao placed the camera on the counter.

"Name, birthday, and then take an ID photo facing the camera. The pose and expression are casual, but it is recommended to make it look good unless you don't plan to show it to others."

"Liuying, birthday... I don't remember. Is this important?" the girl asked softly.

"Then let's register for today." Wang Xuanqiao's fingers moved as he quickly input the information.

"Birthdays are important to those who cherish you," he said, pointing to the camera. "Okay, look at the camera."

As Liuying's portrait was printed on the membership card, the system also sent an unlocking message.

——The author has something to say——

Today I will try to change the update time and send it continuously. You will be able to see the second update in ten minutes.

Do book lovers think this more concentrated update mode is better than the original mode of publishing one chapter in the morning and one chapter in the evening?

Welcome everyone to put forward your own opinions~

In addition, regarding the games unlocked by the heroes, interested readers may wish to guess who these games correspond to. If you guess correctly...

Finally, the new guest that everyone should know - Firefly, has officially arrived!

The Starry Sky Railway is so impressive and magnificent! (?o?o)??

Volume 072: 228: Welcome to Base

[Detected that the guest has applied for a membership card, unlocking the game based on the guest's characteristics——]

[Game: "Earth Defense Force 5" has been unlocked, please enjoy the experience. ]

Wang Xuanqiao was indeed a bit surprised when he saw the name of the game. He had expected the games he unlocked to be more focused on themes with metaphysical healing abilities, such as fantasy and magic, or perhaps some high-level martial arts cultivation with a marrow cleansing plot.

But...Earth Defense Force 5? Can this game cure genetic defects?

Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help scratching his head.

However, it's not completely impossible. This game is, after all, a "middle school" fun game, and the desperate atmosphere the production company has painstakingly crafted is truly remarkable, even allowing games with subpar graphics to gain a place among those with less impressive graphics.

When it comes to games, the most important thing is the content.

Maybe the rewards are also unique to "middle school" games?

"Okay, do you want to try the game you unlocked?" Wang Xuanqiao placed the Firefly membership card on the counter and handed it to her.

Liuying wanted to refuse outright. She still needed to get to Pinocchio and use her memory to enter the synesthetic dream before the Star Train arrived. But when she thought about the possibility of a solution to her entropy problem in the game, she hesitated.

It seems that there is room for some time?

"How long does this game take?" Liuying pursed her lips and asked.

"If you're just trying it out, it won't take too long," Wang Xuanqiao replied. "It's divided into levels, so each level won't take long."

"Then... I'll give it a try." Liuying looked at the membership card in her hand and nodded.

It just so happened that Wang Xuanqiao was planning to revisit this game which he hadn't played for a long time. He quite liked the atmosphere of desperate counterattack, which could be said to have completely ignited the player's passionate soul, making people unable to help but cheer and roar along with the NPCs.

Moreover, judging by Liuying's behavior when she entered the room, perhaps she really would not be reserved at all.

【Stranger, please state your identity.】

[I am Star Core Hunter Sam. If you don't want to cause trouble, answer my question immediately.]

Wow! Come to think of it, it seems quite fitting!

Wang Xuanqiao took Liuying to a seat farther out and instructed her on how to use the gaming headset to enter the game. After successfully logging into the device, he started the game with her.

"This game tells the story of Earth civilization's struggle against alien invaders. One day, a powerful alien civilization suddenly attacks the Earth Defense Force's military base. The player's character is thus caught up in the attack, thus beginning his heroic journey."

While loading the game, Wang Xuanqiao briefly introduced the background of the game to Liuying.

Then, as the image finished loading, the black screen in front of him was replaced by a scene of an equipment warehouse.

Wang Xuanqiao looked around and could even see soldiers moving weapons. However, they seemed to be just background figures, busy moving things and not making any other moves.

Then, he saw Liuying's figure appear here.

"This feeling... is so real." Liuying first looked at her hands and body, "Also, it's like replacing a new body."

"It's a game, after all," Wang Xuanqiao said with a smile. "We should choose our equipment here, then go through the terminal over there to select the level, and then open the door to officially enter the game."

Games on these old platforms will evolve their interactive interfaces by being fully integrated into the devices. Wang Xuanqiao has already figured out the routine after adapting "Left 4 Dead" and "Silent Hill".

But what surprised him even more was that the "Earth Defense Force 5" provided by the system seemed to have removed the upper limit on the number of online players.

Coupled with the iterative graphics effects of the device itself, the game probably no longer has any shortcomings!

Wang Xuanqiao was ready to go, eager to charge with the game's unique rocket launcher with unlimited ammunition.

But before that, I still need to introduce the four major types of troops in this game to Liuying.

"This game is divided into four classes. The first is the most basic infantry, also known as the assault soldier in the game. He is the easiest to learn, and his fighting style is to shoot with a gun. He can carry two weapons and one piece of support equipment."

"The second is the Tactician, known in-game as the Air Raider. He's quite challenging to master, as he often doesn't directly participate in combat, but instead calls on friendly forces like the Air Force and Artillery to launch fire strikes. He can also carry heavy equipment for support, such as the giant mecha that only he can summon."

"The third is the Jet Sniper, also known as the Wing Stealer in-game. It's medium difficulty to master. Equipped with a rocket pack, it allows for high-speed solo maneuvers. However, due to the need to reduce weight, it can't carry heavy equipment, and its armor isn't strong enough. It's like a dancer dancing with swords."

"Finally, there's the exoskeleton-equipped soldier, named the Sword Soldier in-game. He's a bit more difficult to master than the Flying Soldier because his exoskeleton can use heavy equipment. This means his ceiling is higher than the Flying Soldier's, but his bulkier body also makes him a sitting duck for anyone who can't handle him well."

Liuying patiently listened to Wang Xuanqiao's introduction. Then, without hesitation, she chose the exoskeleton equipment, perhaps because she was used to armored combat.

Seeing that she was not hesitant, Wang Xuanqiao chose tactician equipment for himself. Because he was a vehicle-based person in EDF, when would he be unhappy?

The two quickly finished selecting their weapons and equipment, and Wang Xuanqiao went to the terminal to set the level. Seeing that there was a difficulty option, he hesitated for a moment, ultimately deciding to just set it to difficult.

After setting up the specific matters, Wang Xuanqiao turned around and prepared to invite Liuying to enter the checkpoint. He happened to see the girl putting a bomb marked as extremely dangerous on her body, which made him stunned.

No? Isn't that something only for infantry?

But since Liuying wanted to take him, Wang Xuanqiao naturally agreed. He wasn't some fundamentalist; as long as everyone had fun playing the game, there was no need to dwell on such trivial details.

Everything is ready and the game officially begins.

Not long after leaving the warehouse, the two were attracted by the voice of an uncle.

"Hello, civilians. Welcome to Base 228!" The man in camouflage uniform said loudly with his hands behind his back facing the crowded crowd.

"As you can see, humanity's most elite military is stationed here. To protect Earth from aliens, we undergo the most arduous training day after day. Today, we'll use this open day opportunity to showcase our achievements to you."

There was a burst of warm applause from the crowd.

At this moment, another voice came into the ears of Wang Xuanqiao and Liuying.

"Why are you here? Stop watching the fun and come on, we have work to do."

It was a young man, dressed almost identically to the two of them. Wang Xuanqiao and Liuying exchanged glances before following the man, leaving the crowd in another direction.

This was the Earth Defense Force's underground base. The tunnels were incredibly wide, reaching dozens of meters high and wide enough to accommodate two or three main battle tanks. The man leading the way walked along the edge of the path, chatting with the two about work.

"The Earth Defense Force attaches great importance to this military camp open day, and the scale of the opening is larger than ever before. However, because their soldiers must maintain combat readiness, they cannot spare so many people to welcome the public."

"This is where we come into play. We are here to assist the Earth Defense Force with reception and logistics."

The young man's voice was filled with enthusiasm, as if he enjoyed this job.

"Let me tell you, if we do well this time, maybe we can get promoted to a dedicated contractor for their army! By then, not only will our salaries increase, but we'll also get to see all this cool equipment regularly. Just thinking about it makes me excited!"

"So, do you prefer a salary increase or equipment?" Wang Xuanqiao teased him.

"Can't we have both? It's not a matter of having your cake and eating it too." The man replied with a smile.

"Anyway, I have to give it my all this time!" he said. "But then again, this is the first time I've seen a woman using an exoskeleton. Why did you choose to be a freight worker?"

This is obviously referring to fireflies.

"Ah, because... I'm more accustomed to using this kind of equipment." Liuying, who was called upon, was stunned for a moment and then quickly answered.

"You're pretty impressive then. All the girls I know are indifferent to this kind of thing."

As they were talking, the lighting system inside the base suddenly went out, and darkness fell in an instant, but soon the light returned.

"Huh? What's going on? Is there a problem with the line?" the man asked, but he didn't stop walking. "Please don't let it break down at this time. It will affect our work evaluation."

But just as he finished speaking, a scream suddenly came from the communicator he was carrying.

"Yes, there are monsters!"

——The author has something to say——

Thanks to the top guy on the list [Ai Xilu Weng] for throwing 3 blades. Thank you very much for your long-term support!

Thanks to the book friend [大豬公] for voting for 5 blades and 1 monthly ticket. Thank you very much for your long-term support!

PS: I discussed with my friends for a while about which game to unlock with Firefly, and we finally settled on EDF, a very 2017 and exciting game. Those who have played it might be able to guess why, but I also highly recommend it to those who haven't played it yet.

If you don’t play, you can watch the related game videos made by Lao E to have some fun, haha.

Volume 073: : Veteran is about to suffer from stress

Liuying was about to rush out. If Wang Xuanqiao hadn't been quick to pull her back, the girl might have gone to find the enemy and started fighting on her own.

Her exoskeleton was indeed very powerful, and Wang Xuanqiao, who was wearing Clark glasses, almost couldn't hold it.

The coworker in the story finally realized what was happening and quickly consoled him, "Don't be nervous, it's probably a military exercise. You know, today is open day, they must be joking with the visiting residents."

"Look, the lighting only flickered for a moment. I'm sure they did it on purpose."

As he finished speaking, the lights inside the base flickered out again. This time, instead of the bright white light, a frightening dark red light began to flicker regularly.

The hum of tanks echoed down the broad tunnel's main road. Fully armed soldiers formed a defensive formation, appearing beneath a red light that dimmed the distance. They moved so hurriedly that they seemed oblivious to the three people standing by, rushing in the opposite direction.

"Wow! It's the Black Chariot!" The man seemed unaware of the depressing atmosphere among the soldiers and exclaimed to himself.

When the battle mecha came over, he was so excited that he screamed like a monkey.
