Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

"Hey, no rush!" Wang Xuanqiao raised his hand three times to interrupt the great poet's impending poetic inspiration. "I still have some material. I think we can polish it up and make further progress!"

"Huh? There's still material?" Kurumi's expression actually looked a little confused. "What kind of material?"

"Of course it is—the hottest art!"

The art of explosion!

Speaking of which, ever since the release of the self-modified VR version of Left 4 Dead, tanks have become adorable. If you're interested, check it out! VR controls can instantly kill a tank with ten hits per second, which is pretty terrifying.

Volume 007: : Hu Tao tried to solo, but wasted

The second level of Death Center featured a grand fireworks display. Unlike the traditional fireworks touted as romantic by young people, this was a truly explosive chain reaction. Wang Xuanqiao was even looking forward to whether he could experience the shock of the explosion firsthand with this fully immersive equipment.

But before that, we have to teach Walnut how to use firearms.

I should have mentioned this in the first level, but the game suddenly went hardcore and cut the bullets for the small gun. I had to postpone it until I entered the safe house, after all, there are more supplies and more guns to choose from.

When Hu Tao heard that Wang Xuanqiao wanted to teach her how to use a gun, her eyes lit up.

Although she barely relied on firearms in the first level, that didn't stop her from having a high opinion of them. Compared to similar weapons in Teyvatri, such as the Fatui's elemental muskets and the Fontaine's gunlances, the guns in the game were clearly more advanced.

Of course, Walnut didn't care about the military industry. She just thought advanced guns were more fun.

We are already playing games, wouldn’t it be a shame if we still acted like we did before?

At Wang Xuanqiao's suggestion, Hu Tao first tried the shotgun in the safe house. The other submachine gun was too short, making it difficult to use it to gain universal firearm experience.

"First, the standard gun holding posture." Wang Xuanqiao confirmed that the safety was in the off position before handing the shotgun to Hu Tao.

"Firing a firearm generates recoil, so you need to hold the butt against your shoulder to relieve the force and prevent accidents caused by unstable holding. If you have sufficient grip strength, you don't actually need to force yourself to hold the butt against your shoulder; you can do it casually."

While explaining, Wang Xuanqiao taught Hu Tao to put the butt of the gun against his shoulder and complete the standing gun-holding action.

"But shoulder shooting has another function, which is precise aiming. When performing standard gun-holding movements, we can use the sights on the gun to achieve precise aiming."

After saying that, Wang Xuanqiao gestured to Hu Tao to put her face close to the gun, then walked behind her and leaned over to check whether the shooting baseline was correct.

Admittedly, this delicate position behind him was somewhat ambiguous. However, Wang Xuanqiao didn't mention it because he didn't care; and Hu Tao didn't mention it either because she didn't care either.

The so-called distance between men and women requires people to have certain feelings in their hearts before they will respond.

Whether it was Wang Xuanqiao or Hu Tao, one of them was thinking about how to use a gun, while the other was thinking about how to teach the other how to use a gun.

After explaining the basics of aiming and shooting as quickly as possible, Wang Xuanqiao directly opened the iron gate and let Hu Tao practice on the scattered zombies outside.

Interest is the best teacher. Once the basics are mastered, firing bullets is the quickest way to learn how to use a gun.

Walnut was quite talented and quickly adapted to the rhythm of live-fire shooting. She also developed her own martial arts skills and developed some fancy gunfighting techniques. But then... she gave up carrying a gun because carrying ammunition was too troublesome.

"While a shotgun is fun, it takes too long to reload! I'd rather use an axe."

Indeed, the revised weapon system wasn't user-friendly at all. Shotguns weren't the only weapon, but even magazine-loaded rifles required reloading, a torture. Wang Xuanqiao didn't mind, after all, guns weren't just about the bullets themselves.

A gun without bullets can still be used as a firewood stick. We should have an open mind and not be so narrow-minded.

Having said that, Wang Xuanqiao certainly didn't look very handsome when he was looking for containers to store bullets and supplies.

The two of them geared up and set off again. This time, Hu Tao carried the medical kit, while Wang Xuanqiao carried the backpack filled with ammunition. He slung the shotgun from the side of the backpack and held a submachine gun in his hand.

Fortunately, there were not four of us playing, otherwise there would be only two guns in the safe house and we would have to start shooting.

As they marched quickly, Hu Tao, already accustomed to the game, displayed a fighting skill belying her delicate appearance. This time, she walked in front, dispatching both the zombie hordes and the hunter riders with ease, occasionally muttering "Have a nice journey!"

As for those special senses who were playing dirty with their distance, Wang Xuanqiao naturally dealt with them. The bile monster had previously disgusted the girl, and as a seasoned gamer, he wouldn't let her suffer any more this time.

The journey was smooth as silk, and nothing could hinder the two from moving forward.

"I feel like this game isn't that difficult." Hu Tao, who was walking and looking at the scenery, suddenly made a sharp comment.

"Indeed." Wang Xuanqiao nodded. "This game is essentially a mowing game. The special effects only serve to slightly adjust the difficulty curve so that players don't get too bored while mowing. It's like driving on flat ground. It's easy to fall asleep on a smooth road, but it would be much better if there were some slopes in between."

"Hey! Then I have an idea." Walnut's expression now was as if a bright light bulb had popped up on his forehead.

"What idea?" Wang Xuanqiao asked.

"That is - from now on, I will be the only one to handle these customers! Manager, please don't do anything, just watch me~"

"Oh—" Wang Xuanqiao glanced around. Well, the main road was blocked at both ends, and there was only one building to go through. It was the classic tank spawning area.

There were even oil drums and gas tanks thoughtfully provided inside.

"Okay, let's see you show off." Wang Xuanqiao smiled and began to quietly fill the magazine with bullets.

Walnut hummed a song as she moved forward, not realizing what the absence of zombies on this road meant.

After climbing the stairs, there was the door to the building. Hu Tao did not kick it in a "civilized" way like Wang Xuanqiao did, but knocked lightly twice before turning the doorknob.

"Excuse me for disturbing you~" Walnut walked into the room with a smile.

Wang Xuanqiao followed him in, picked up the oil drum and placed it at the bottom of the stairs. He then stood there, waiting for Hu Tao to go up the stairs alone.

As expected, there was an unexpected situation. In such a small space, the tank was barely able to stand up to its opponent. Even a tough guy with a chainsaw couldn't escape being sent flying by a punch, let alone Walnut, who was only armed with a fire axe.

The ground began to shake, and the roar of the tanks echoed in circles throughout the room.

And Kurumi, she flew down the stairs...

Logically, they should have retreated, set fire to the oil drums below, and then closed the door to burn the tank. But who was Hu Tao? If everything had gone according to plan, she wouldn't have asked for a solo pass.

No one understood Hu Tao's thinking better than Wang Xuanqiao. Winning isn't essential when playing games, but having fun is essential.

I just wonder how she felt when she was punched by Tank and flew off the second floor...

"Manager... pull me over..."

Kurumi, who was almost stuck to the wall, raised his hand tremblingly.

Wang Xuanqiao, having received professional training, suppressed a smile and quickly stepped forward, picking Hu Tao up with one hand as she cried out, "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!" He looked back and saw that Tank had reached the edge of the stairs, and immediately ran towards the door.

The tank roared down the stairs, and Wang Xuanqiao calmly turned and fired a shot, hitting the oil drum that had been placed there. A fierce fire erupted, and the large area around the staircase was instantly engulfed in flames. The tank in the center became a giant human torch!

Comfortable! Wang Xuanqiao rushed out of the building holding Hu Tao and closed the door for Tank, which was very considerate.

Sure enough, the tank is more exciting when it's on fire! I just wonder if the gas tank inside will explode with it.

Just as he thought this, Wang Xuanqiao heard a loud bang from the door. The door, which should have been tightly closed, spun in mid-air and flew out, much more gracefully than Hu Tao's movements.

Wang Xuanqiao immediately put Hu Tao down, quickly raised his gun and ran towards the entrance.

I saw a tank with blazing flames rushing out of the door, roaring out all the anger in its heart with a long roar.

Wang Xuanqiao grinned, closed his left eye, and the gun line had been pulled to the head of the tank.

"Come on, big guy."

Tank roared, pounding the ground with both fists. The flames on his body seemed to surge in an instant! And then... the invincible Tank was like a corpse burning.

Tsk, what a waste of emotion. Wang Xuanqiao spat and lowered his gun.

Oh, by the way, how's Walnut? He turned and walked quickly towards Walnut.

——The author has something to say——

No matter how much time has passed, whenever I mention this little room, I will remember the surprise of running into the tank when I went up the stairs.)

And the joy of watching a teammate who wanted to control the game being knocked down the stairs by a tank

8.12: At the request of readers, the strange blocked word in cwm has been fixed. [弓单] is the same as [弹]. Also, I really don't understand why shotgun has become a sensitive word. The word shotgun is really a beautiful word. It is used to describe the ice particles falling from the sky during snowfall, and it is absolutely appropriate to describe the scene of cluster bullets exploding. The broken blocked word library of cwm is really a bummer. (

Volume 008: : Hardcore, but not completely hardcore

After being pounded by the tank, Hu Tao's condition wasn't exactly terrible, but it was no different from being crippled. She could walk, but after standing up, she couldn't straighten her back and limped, almost like a zombie.

Wang Xuanqiao saw Hu Tao was in such a state, so he decided to pack up quickly. He had four medical kits, and even more supplies if the buildings were included. It was safe to say he had never fought a battle so richly.

But before this, Wang Xuanqiao had never used this medical kit in the fully in-situ version of Left 4 Dead. He wondered if a game that prioritized ammunition would also adopt a hardcore approach to its medical system.

If a bunch of gauze came out of the medical kit like in the game, Walnut would be incurable.

With a slightly nervous mood, Wang Xuanqiao opened a medical bag and reached out to take things out.

Not a bandage, not a gauze, not a useless thing...

Then, Wang Xuanqiao pulled out a syringe. It was similar in design to another item in the game, adrenaline, but with a different color scheme: a striking red.

...Also!

Wang Xuanqiao turned to look at Hu Tao and saw that she was hunched over with a look of extreme discomfort on her face, but she refused to adjust her sensory feedback to make herself feel more comfortable.

"...Well, are you afraid of injections?" Wang Xuanqiao thought about it and decided to ask first.

"An injection? What does that... mean?"

"I'll just prick you with a needle and inject the medicine directly into your body." After Wang Xuanqiao finished speaking, he opened the protective cap on the syringe, revealing the sharp needle inside.

"It might be a little painful, just turn your head away and bear with it."

Wang Xuanqiao held Hu Tao's shoulder and injected a needle into her arm. Just as he finished injecting the liquid medicine, Hu Tao's whole body twitched as if electrified. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Wang Xuanqiao's shoulder, mumbling something incoherently.

It’s broken. Do I need to pair it with something else?

Wang Xuanqiao quickly took out the medical bag and immediately found a roll of bandage.

No? Can these two things be used together? Wang Xuanqiao was stunned.

Fortunately, Walnut's convulsions didn't last long, and she quickly returned to normal. With a look of slight surprise on her face, she began to stretch her legs and feet.

"Wow! This is incredible!" Hu Tao even touched his chest. "If there was such a special medicine, Bubu Lu would have to close down."

"Maybe it's not that simple. By the way, what did you want to say when you grabbed me just now?" Wang Xuanqiao stuffed the bandage back into the medical bag.

He kind of understood why the medical kit had these two items: bandages for external injuries, syringes for internal injuries. After all, Resident Evil had scenes of severed limbs being reattached, so it made sense for The Left 4 Dead, a zombie game like that, to use bandages to reattach severed limbs, right?

Hardcore, but not completely hardcore.

"Just now? I wanted to ask if the medicine had gone bad. The injection didn't hurt at all. My whole body felt numb and tingling, a bit like drinking the nectar of the Thunder Pian Pian Flower. It was even a little comfortable."

"Oh no, what you said makes me want to give myself an injection." Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but glance at another medical kit, but quickly dismissed the idea.

Although we are well-off now and can eat as much as we want, we should not seek stimulation through medicine when we have nothing to do. It makes me feel sick when I think about it carefully.

"Will you continue then? One person, one call."

"Of course! This time it was just a strategic mistake." Walnut said, hands on hips, "It's just that last time I saw you fighting the tank, I didn't expect it to be faster than I thought."

"I understand. You underestimated the enemy, right?" Wang Xuanqiao suddenly laughed. He liked teammates with such a challenging spirit. It brought him so much joy.

"Then let's continue!"

The two returned to the room, gathered what supplies they could carry, and continued on their journey. Without the tank, Walnut's other special senses were completely powerless. The young woman, swinging a fire axe, escorted customers to their destination, and Li Sanguang couldn't help but praise her professionalism.

Before long, the two reached the last node of the level - the weapons store.

This is the only place in the Dead Center campaign where you can communicate with living people. According to the game plot, the store manager will ask the player to bring him a dozen Cokes from the supermarket, and then he will use his heavy firepower to help the player blow up the road blocked by a large number of cars.

This is a very exciting part because the weapon shop provides all kinds of firearms, and even external laser sights to assist players in accurate shooting to the greatest extent.

For Wang Xuanqiao, who uses fully immersive equipment to experience the game, this place can provide tactical equipment such as weapon belts, which can completely get rid of the current dilemma of having to rely on a backpack to carry things.

After entering the gun shop, Wang Xuanqiao immediately began searching for what he needed. Hu Tao, who was relatively unfamiliar with firearms, became interested in some of the posters hanging on the wall, such as the Star-Spangled Banner and the Bald Eagle.

"That's the Ameican flag, and the bald eagle is its symbol." Wang Xuanqiao, who was arming himself, took the time to explain to her.

"Is it a country in this game world?" Walnut asked.

"Yes, but not entirely. Because in reality, or rather, I have an America country there. Many games are actually based on reality. After all, fantasy rooted in reality is more immersive."

"Hmm~ Interesting. Hey, manager! If we are also people in the game world, then do we count as game characters playing games now?" Walnut suddenly asked a subtle question.

"Well, actually, playing games within games is quite common. However, regarding the fact that we are people in the game world, I can only say that the world is actually more vast than people imagine, and there are all kinds of wonders in the world."

Wang Xuanqiao thought for a moment and replied.

"Great! I like competitions of imagination!"

"I like it too. For example, I'm wondering what new games will appear after you complete Left 4 Dead."

"Oh, there will be a new game? Then I have to work harder."

While the two chatted, Wang Xuanqiao quickly rearmed himself. The gun shop didn't have much functional equipment, but at least he'd managed to put together a usable set. Wang Xuanqiao now looked like an elite wasteland survivor, lacking only a gas mask.

"Let's go, you will soon see the material I mentioned." Wang Xuanqiao put his hand on Kalashnikov's work and led Hu Tao to trigger the plot of the gun shop owner.

Afterward, I just had to take the Coke to the gun shop owner and enjoy a spectacular fireworks display. It was a series of explosions led by a long tanker truck, and the shocking level had to be rated four stars.
