Chapter 458: The Dark Killing Live-Stream Game
Chapter 458: The Dark Killing Live-Stream Game
Some classes only have one class monitor, while others have both a class monitor and a deputy monitor.The person asking the question right now was the deputy monitor back in the day.
Class Monitor Gu Bei chuckled. "Actually, it was a segment I had prepared long ago."
"After all, this is our first full-class gathering since graduating from high school. I didn't want it to be so vulgar and cliché."
"The plan was: after the meal, go visit my family's castle, and accidentally discover some things as a surprise for you all."
"But then I realized you all weren't very interested, so I could only reveal this hidden surprise ahead of time."
A girl asked with a smile, "So, Monitor, did you prepare a lot of prizes?!"
Class Monitor Gu Bei said, "Lots, of course lots. I'll try to make sure everyone can get several items. Consider it a benefit from me, your class monitor."
If it were anyone else organizing this kind of cash giveaway event,
these old classmates definitely wouldn't believe it. But if Gu Bei was doing it, they definitely believed him. After all, Gu Bei's family was wealthy, as evidenced by the car he drove today.
They remembered back in the day, after school, Gu Bei's family driver would take turns picking him up in different luxury cars, which was quite enviable.
"Alright then, tomorrow I'll take another day off work to participate in this event!"
Someone declared.
Partly out of nostalgia for this reunion, but more for the prizes.
Gu Bei said, "Great. I originally planned to go to the castle this afternoon, but if we're going tomorrow, I can have people hide even more prizes this afternoon."
"Let me give you a little sneak peek. Just for now, the Fruit Phone prizes I've hidden in the castle number at least fifty."
Gu Bei pretended to share a secret, leaning close to the microphone and speaking softly.
"Wow! Long live the Monitor!"
The men and women below cheered.
At this moment, Huo Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her hand to ask, "Monitor, can we bring people to participate in this treasure hunt activity?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the red-haired young man Liu Ruyi mocked, "Seriously? You hear there are lots of prizes, so you're planning to bring people to take advantage?"
Huo Xiaoxiao shot a fierce glare at Liu Ruyi, but Liu Ruyi remained unfazed.
Class Monitor Gu Bei said, "Yes, of course you can. However, it's limited to each classmate bringing a maximum of two people."
"You can bring them or not. After all, the more people, the livelier the play, and the more this class reunion can leave a vivid and colorful mark on the lives of all participants!"
"I don't want to miss a single person, so I hope all our classmates will come tomorrow!!!"
*Clap clap clap!*
Class Monitor Gu Bei's speech received enthusiastic applause from these men and women in their twenties.
Jiang Ran was also clapping. After all, not clapping would make him stand out from the group and easily become a target for attack by those with ulterior motives.
As for tomorrow's castle treasure hunt activity, he really did want to go.
After all, anything involving money was something he found very hard to refuse.
Having just lost 200,000, he still felt the sting.
He needed to replenish his funds to ease the pain.
As for the constant flashing in his mind of "Dangerous Individual +10"...
With so many people there, no need to fear.
The gathering ended.
The young men and women began to disperse.
Jiang Ran suddenly had a stomachache. Consequently, instead of following the crowd out, he ran to the hotel's restroom.
In the restroom, he chose the second-to-last stall, took off his pants, squatted down,
and pulled out his phone to kill time.
He hadn't killed even two minutes of time
when, in the quiet restroom, footsteps suddenly sounded.
Immediately followed by the sound of two streams of water.
Clearly, two men were urinating.
One of the men suddenly spoke up. "Gu Bei said he hopes all our classmates come to that event tomorrow, not a single one missing."
"But how is that possible? No matter what, three people from our class can't come."
The other man said, "Oh, you mean the three who died? Didn't they die a long time ago? Why bring them up? And obviously, Gu Bei meant us who are still alive."
The first man: "I just suddenly thought of them when he said that. A bit of a lament, life is so unpredictable."
The second man: "Alright, enough lamenting. Look at Gu Bei. Damn, he's really rich. We struggle to pay the down payment for a house and then have decades of mortgage payments, while others easily buy castles."
"And he's even holding this kind of event in the castle. Fruit Phones, no less than fifty of them. It really makes you angry comparing people."
The first man said, "Nothing to be done. He was good at choosing his rebirth. He's got good fate."
The second man: "Right. If it weren't for his lucky rebirth and good fate, he'd just be a regular working stiff."
The two finished urinating, pulled up their pants, and went out.
Listening to their conversation, Jiang Ran didn't pay it much mind. After finishing his business, he pulled up his pants and walked out too.
Just as he stepped out, he suddenly noticed a man and a woman making out not far from the restroom.
Jiang Ran took a closer look. They looked somewhat familiar, probably some of his old classmates.
However, these two people, it seemed, were both married and had their own spouses.
So, was this an old flame rekindling?
...
Jiang Ran hailed a rideshare back to Alice Apartment.
Passing by the security guard booth, he saw a man and a woman embracing each other as they walked into Building No. 2 in front of it.
Jiang Ran's eyesight was still pretty good. He didn't recognize the man, but the woman was Building No. 2 Manager Wu Meiling.
Although he didn't know the man, he looked quite young, about the same age as Jiang Ran.
"An old cow eating tender grass..."
Jiang Ran thought to himself.
Living in this city of desires, everyone is controlled by their desires, becoming obedient puppets on strings.
...
Black Software.
Recently, a relatively new live stream room had risen meteorically.
On Black Software's Hua Country popularity rankings, it had squeezed into the top ten.
The live-streamed game in this room was called: Dark Killing.
The gameplay of Dark Killing was also very simple.
It adopted features from both the games Dead by Daylight and Identity V.
In a fixed, large location, a total of 10 keys were hidden.
The factions were divided into Explorers and Hunters.
The Explorers find the keys and leave this place. The Hunters are there to stop the Explorers from leaving and to hunt them down.
The differences from those two games were:
Explorers could actively attack Hunters.
Whereas the Hunters, just like in the games, had to remain stationary for a period of time after hitting an Explorer.
Another difference: When a Hunter killed an Explorer, they didn't need to find a place to hang them up like in those games. Dead was dead.
This game's location was in Nancheng City, at Gu Bei's family castle.
The game start time was 8 AM on the very day Jiang Ran and the others were participating in the castle treasure hunt activity.
...
Jiang Ran was completely unaware of the crisis about to descend tomorrow.
After attending the class reunion, he returned to Room 304 in Alice Apartment.
He just lay on the sofa, eating ice cream, with his phone constantly playing web novels from the Tomato Fiction app.
