Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

"You are very special." Huang Quan stared at Wang Xuanqiao. "Your color is very eye-catching."

No, did you eat the Gray Xiu in your own world? Wang Xuanqiao scratched his head, not knowing where to start complaining about Huang Quan's words.

Let’s talk about business words first!

"Welcome to the Ninth Art Game Hall. Get a membership card now and get a free bottle of iced Coke."

Wang Xuanqiao stood up from his seat, but of course he couldn't bow. After all, he didn't charge money here, so customers were not gods.

"Game hall?" Huang Quan raised his head and looked at the rows of equipment in the game area. "It doesn't look like...

Wang Xuanqiao was now somewhat bewildered. He followed Huang Quan's gaze and scanned his own arcade. The rows of gaming helmets and screens certainly didn't look like a traditional arcade.

There's no way around it. You can't have a gaming pod where you soak your body in nutrient solution, right? Not only does it take up space, but it's also scary to put in a public place like a game hall.

Those who know will understand that this is a game, while those who don’t will think they have accidentally entered a human laboratory.

"It's a completely immersive device. All you need is a helmet, and your consciousness can enter the game world." Wang Xuanqiao explained to Huang Quan, "You can completely put yourself into any role, whether it's a survivor in a disaster, a witness to a strange incident, or a guardian in the war of national defense."

"Furthermore, as long as you apply for a membership card, the system will unlock a game that matches you. This game may solve a problem that has been bothering you, or it may fulfill your wish, but at the very least, it can bring you happiness."

Wang Xuanqiao walked out of the game area while introducing.

He passed by Huang Quan and walked into the reception counter.

"How about it? Do you want to apply for one?" Wang Xuanqiao asked Huang Quan, resting his hands on the table behind the counter.

"Then let's give it a try." Huang Quan didn't hesitate. She always looked calm, like a pool of clear water hidden deep in a valley, which was not wrinkled by the wind and not disturbed by the rain.

Huang Quan walked up to the counter.

"Name, birthday?"

Wang Xuanqiao woke up the dormant terminal. He had never really turned it off. It was always left there in standby mode.

"...Huang Quan. I can't remember my birthday."

"Then fill in today." Wang Xuanqiao copied the procedure he had used to receive Liuying and directly filled in the date. Then he took out his camera and took a photo of Huang Quan, officially completing the membership card.

As the membership card with Huang Quan's portrait was spit out by the machine, a prompt from the system also came.

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

[Game: "Devil May Cry 5" has been unlocked, please enjoy the experience. ]

Devil May Cry? Or the Devil May Cry from the fifth generation?

The major ward has a successor! ?

Wang Xuanqiao glanced at Huang Quan again and put her membership card on the counter.

Huang Quan walked forward and picked up her membership card. She looked at her clear face on the card and suddenly became lost in thought.

Did she actually leave her mark? She held the palm-sized card in her hand and couldn't help but look at it twice more.

"Remember to keep it safe. When you want to come back after you leave, you'll need this membership card. Take it with you, find a door you like, push it open, and you can come in."

While they were talking, Wang Xuanqiao turned around, opened the freezer, took out two bottles of iced cola that had been plentiful for days, and placed them on the counter by holding the necks of the bottles with his fingers.

"Isn't it just one bottle?" Huang Quan asked, glancing at the ice cola with cold smoke rising from it.

"I'll drink the other one," Wang Xuanqiao replied. "How about trying the game you unlocked?"

"Not for now." Huang Quan shook his head slightly, put away his membership card, and reached out to take the iced Coke on the counter.

So cold... Her eyes flickered again.

The Ninth Art Game Hall? Huang Quan turned around and took in the space again. From the neatly arranged game facilities, to the dividing walls graffitied with vibrant images, to the lounge area that made one imagine a group of people having fun, and finally, the dazzling array of merchandise on display at the counters...

The man behind the counter.

"You are special." Huang Quan repeated this sentence again.

"Can you tell me your name?" she asked.

"Wang Xuanqiao. Of course, you can also call me the store manager," Wang Xuanqiao replied. "When you're not busy, you can come over to play games with me anytime. If you need a gaming partner, feel free to come find me."

"I will." Huang Quan nodded gently, "I look forward to seeing you next time, Wang Xuanqiao."

She added a brief pause after "Wang," perhaps out of linguistic habit or some other reason. Wang Xuanqiao didn't think much of it, and when he saw Huang Quan slowly leaving the arcade with an iced Coke, he ignored her.

After passing through the darkness behind the sensor door, Huang Quan stepped back onto the carpet of the Pinocchio Hotel. She glanced around and saw the familiar guest room corridor. There were also some passing tourists, who hurried by as if they hadn't noticed her.

Huang Quan lowered her head, the cold feeling in her palm slowly fading. Her eyes drifted into a trance for a moment, then she reached out and unscrewed the cap. The gas sealed within the plastic bottle was stimulated, gushing upward from the red-black liquid with a soft sound.

呲——

Huang Quan tilted his head back, put the cola on his lips and put it into his mouth.

So sweet...

But, it shouldn't be like this.

The taste of food...Hasn't this kind of thing been away from me for a long time?

------

Seeing that the game hall had become quiet again, Wang Xuanqiao continued to send messages to Kiana.

Otaku playing games: zai?

Qimaomao:buzai

Qi Maomao:?

Qi Maomao: Manager!!! Why didn’t you tell me that there would be so many things to do when I became the End!!!

Gamer: Oh, with great power comes great responsibility. Isn't that just the way it should be?

The otaku playing games: And I don’t know either. I clearly saw you laughing happily when you became the end in the game.

Qi Maomao: Not happy at all!!! Not only do I have to clean up the mess left by the collapse on the moon, but my period and the others are forcing me to cram my professional knowledge! I haven't slept in three days!!! The moment I close my eyes, all I see are messed-up formulas!

Otaku who plays games: Are there any situations where you really can’t leave?

Qi Maomao: Not really. But if I try to sneak around, Auntie will call Mei and the others to catch me.

Otaku playing games: ...Tell me, is there a place where neither your aunt nor Mei can catch you?

Qi Maomao: Where is that? The moon is so small, I can't squat in a crater, right?

Otaku who plays games:?

The otaku who plays games: Do you want to think about it again?

Qi Maomao: [doubt][doubt][doubt]

Qi Maomao: Aa ...

The moment five exclamation marks popped up on the screen, the sensor door of the game room opened.

——The author has something to say——

This one-time reward amount has exceeded 15, which is enough for a pork trotter meal. I feel like I can add another chapter for this book friend!

Volume 091: : EDF? Kiana's Home! (Three Thrusts and More)

"Manager——"

Kiana, wearing the End Armor, rushed in directly from the other end of the sensor door.

But she quickly stopped in the aisle again, with her hands on her hips, looking angry.

"Why did you come to me just now?" the white-haired ball asked. "The former civilization's Ying Jie has returned to Earth to develop spaceships, and you haven't even sent me a message!"

"Well - it's indeed my fault. I thought you were too busy, so I wanted to say that you can come to me when you are free." Wang Xuanqiao pretended to be regretful, expressing his deep regret and self-blame.

"Then why did you suddenly come to me now?"

Kiana secretly glanced at Wang Xuanqiao.

"I missed you." Wang Xuanqiao said it as a matter of course, which made Baimaotuanzi almost unable to maintain his sinister look.

"I recently unlocked a game that's super exciting and addictive. I thought you'd definitely like it, so I couldn't help but come find you."

The aura of accusation that Kiana had built up for herself suddenly collapsed.

"Really?" She trotted over to the counter, took a bottle of steaming cola from the freezer, opened the lid and drank it immediately.

"Of course it's true. And my arcade now has more than just Left 4 Dead and Silent Hill. There are also a lot of new games! I guarantee you can play for three days and three nights without any problem."

When Wang Xuanqiao said this, he suddenly sighed.

Looking back, when Kiana first arrived at the arcade, she was the second customer since it opened. The game library was as shabby as a college student who had just signed up for Steam, empty enough to run a Cyber Mouse.

But now, there are more than five large-scale games, and even super sandbox games like "No Man's Sky" that can be played for a lifetime.

After Kiana took a big sip of ice cola, an expression of unprecedented satisfaction and happiness appeared on her face.

"What's going on?" Wang Xuanqiao thought she was exaggerating. "They can't stop you from eating snacks, right?"

"Not really." Kiana shook her head, but sighed with a sense of desolation. "It's just nagging, saying that we should eat healthily and have a healthy lifestyle. It's all reasonable and there's no way to refute it. I can only listen."

"Poor! This is the first time I've heard that a Herrscher of the End needs to eat healthily." Wang Xuanqiao glanced at Kiana's waist. "Could it be that the Power of the End can't control one's figure?"

"Right! The store manager really understands!" The white-haired girl pinched her waist with her hands and turned back and forth twice, "Look, I have a perfect figure so I can eat anything~"

Having said that, Kiana's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately rushed in front of Wang Xuanqiao.

"Manager, braised pork—"

"No problem, I'll arrange it!" Wang Xuanqiao grinned. "Do you want to play games first or eat first?"

"Then let's play first!"

Kiana ran to the seat where she had sat before, pulled out a chair with ease, and sat down. Then she waved at Wang Xuanqiao again, signaling him to come over quickly.

Looking at the lively appearance of the white-haired ball, and then recalling how she was like a kitten that had lost its home, with fear all over her body, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

"Manager, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I remembered something happy."

"Really? What's so happy about that?"

"I'm old, ahem—I'm going to start showing off in the game."

"Take me with you! You can't be happy alone!"

The two put on their gaming helmets and entered Earth Defense Force 5. After experiencing the new storyline developed with Firefly, the title of the game has actually changed. The suffix "5" that symbolizes the number of the game has disappeared and has become "infinite".

Although you still start in the familiar warehouse after entering, the level selection only has an additional branch.

Wang Xuanqiao and Kiana briefly introduced the background of the game and the optional troops, and she began to select the equipment of the Winged Stealth with shining eyes.

Sure enough...Liuying might be a rare type of girl.

This time, Wang Xuanqiao changed himself into a set of assault soldier equipment, ready to return to simplicity and become a true king of land warfare.

He brought destructive shotgun shells and scatter grenades, equipped with special armor. Kiana, seemingly on cue, also chose a rebounding energy weapon. But the Winged Lurker's scatter weapon... well, it would have been fine in an open area, but the first level was a confined environment, where the main point was to gamble with the lives of your teammates.

When Wang Xuanqiao saw the scattering bow that Kiana was carrying, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

No, don't panic! After all, Kiana is the Herrscher of the End, she wouldn't do something like that!

So the traditional first level began, with the same introduction, the same opening wizard, and the same nervousness, but the difference was that this time the nervous colleague was kicked away by Wang Xuanqiao.

Because Kiana was wearing Wing Stealth gear and didn't have the power of Firefly, if she rushed in to rescue them, she might end up having to perform an ant-mouthed escape.

As the gate rose, the familiar ant-shaped monster appeared in sight again.

"This monster is exactly like an ant." Kiana activated her wing pack and jumped directly onto the ant monster's back. She wanted to try to take the enemy down with her bare hands, but the power of the end was useless in the game, and her punches couldn't even break the defense.

It was only when the sergeant and others arrived with their team that the three people were truly "rescued".

But Kiana's gaming time begins here.

Wearing the wing backpack, she was like a flying bird, hovering in the air almost the entire time.

"Alas--"

"watch out!"

"Take it—just punishment!"
