188: Chapter 188 Abandoned Unfinished Building (Transitional Chapter 2)

A mature host has already learned how to gaslight herself.

Luo Yuejian saw the latest punishment skill, Archery Skill, and felt that this skill was alright, within an acceptable range. After all, how many instances could a specialized skill like Archery Skill actually be used in?

In the six instances she had experienced before, there hadn't been a single opportunity to use the Archery Skill.

Thinking this way, Luo Yuejian immediately felt much better and said to the slacker system, "Fine, since the punishment skill has been given, you can go play wherever you want. I plan on sleeping for three days and three nights. Good night!"

However, Luo Yuejian didn't get to sleep for three days. Because, the very next day, she received two new emails.

The sender of one of the emails was the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game Planning Department.

To dear players:

For the physical and mental health of players, and to satisfy the entertainment needs of players outside of game instances, the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game has specially planned a new type of Entertainment Game instance with a novel mode and interesting gameplay!

Entertainment Game instances will be more fun than regular game instances, adding many novel gameplay elements. Players can experience the thrill of the game instance while simultaneously enjoying the excitement brought by entertainment!

Each Entertainment Game instance is generally a large-scale instance, and every player who wins the game will be able to receive item rewards. There will be more Interstellar viewers coming to watch, making it a very rare opportunity to rapidly increase your fan count.

At the same time, the game will randomly send out invitations to every player, and players have the right to refuse. We look forward to your participation!

The thoughtful Miracle Escape Live Stream Game Planning Department.

Luo Yuejian: ?

What kind of new trick is this now? Entertainment Game instance? Large-scale instance? How large?

First they came up with that Game City, and now some Entertainment Game instance has appeared. Luo Yuejian could only lament that the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game really knows how to play. Tsk tsk, no wonder they can make money.

While thinking this over, Luo Yuejian opened the second email. She had already guessed it in her heart just now, and upon opening the second email, she indeed found it to be an invitation to an Entertainment Game instance.

Dear player:

Congratulations on being selected. You have obtained a spot to participate in a large-scale Entertainment Game instance. Press your thumbprint below, and you will automatically enter the game tomorrow morning at eight o'clock.

If you refuse to participate in this game, please click the reject button below.

Luo Yuejian immediately wanted to click the reject button. However, at this moment, the slacker system suddenly spoke up, startling Luo Yuejian: "Hey, wait, host, are you not planning to participate in this Entertainment Game instance?"

Luo Yuejian: ?

Luo Yuejian: "...Do I look like an idiot to you?"

Dammit, isn't the suffering she endures in normal instances enough? And she has to go and suffer again in an Entertainment Game instance? She would have to be brain-damaged to do such a stupid thing!

The slacker system: "Eh, host, you aren't thinking about this correctly,"

As soon as these words were spoken, the look in Luo Yuejian's eyes changed immediately. It was back, that familiar feeling was back...

The slacker system asked: "You always manage to win in normal game instances. Have you ever thought that this is because the game instances don't suit you?"

Hearing this, Luo Yuejian sneered: "You mean to say that Entertainment Game instances suit me? They're all game instances, are you categorizing them by status now? Is it possible for me to lose?"

The slacker system sighed: "Host, why are you always thinking about winning? What if you lose? Where did your initial ambition go?!"

Why the hell I'm always thinking about winning—do you have absolutely no self-awareness about that?

And 'ambition', my ambition has been eaten by dogs. Luo Yuejian almost laughed in anger and said straightforwardly: "Don't give me that nonsense. You know perfectly well whether I'll win or not."

"If you don't have any other reasons to persuade me, you can back off. I just want to reject this damn invitation now and go to bed. There's another instance coming up soon, do you know how precious my rest time is?"

The slacker system's tone sounded somewhat helpless: "Host, do you feel that participating in this Entertainment Game is a loss for you?"

"Otherwise? Every time I participate in a normal instance, I get an item reward from the game, plus a skill from your punishment. Am I crazy to add unnecessary game counts for myself?"

Luo Yuejian was simply speechless, thinking to herself that it was such a simple logic, she didn't believe the slacker system could talk its way out of this one.

As it turned out, the slacker system really could.

"Host, your perspective is still too narrow. Since you believe it's hard for you to lose, why don't you look at whether you should participate in the Entertainment Game from the perspective of having already won?"

"What do you mean?" Luo Yuejian didn't understand, suspecting the system was trying to trick her.

"If you look at it solely from the point of view that you will receive items and skills after winning the game, then you are indeed at a loss. However, have you forgotten that you can also gain fans by winning the game?"

Huh? Luo Yuejian was stunned, thinking to herself that she really hadn't thought of this before.

The slacker system continued: "As a large-scale game instance, the new Entertainment Game launched by Miracle Company will definitely have many players participating. Correspondingly, these players' fans will definitely follow to watch, and coupled with the traffic push of the Entertainment Game mode itself, have you thought about how many viewers will come to watch such a game?"

Hearing this, Luo Yuejian did a quick calculation in her heart and immediately gasped. Damn, thinking about it this way, it does seem like it would attract a lot of viewers, right?

"Do you remember the fifth game you cleared, which is the Alices Doll Tea Party game instance? How many fans did you gain in that one session?"

Before Luo Yuejian could think about it herself, the slacker system provided the answer: "Eight hundred and sixty thousand. But then think about how many fans you gained in this last game session?"

The slacker system quickly provided the answer again: "Only less than three hundred thousand. Have you thought about why that is?"

Luo Yuejian fell into deep thought for a moment. She had really never thought about this question before. After all, Luo Yuejian's goal had always been to complete the system tasks, fail or die in the game, and then resurrect to return to the Real World.

So she had never really paid much attention to the changes in her fan count. Every time she saw the increase in fans after the game ended, she would just sigh to herself and let it go.

But now, after the system's reminder, she suddenly remembered that she could also take the orthodox path, by accumulating ten million fans, and then relying on the rules of the Miracle Escape game to resurrect!

Thinking about it this way, the change in fan count was very worth paying attention to.

Just as the question the system just raised, why was it that in the previous Alices Doll Tea Party game instance, the number of fans she gained was over eight hundred thousand, while in the game instance she just finished, the Abandoned Unfinished Building, she only gained less than three hundred thousand fans?
