189: Chapter 189 Abandoned Unfinished Building (Transitional Chapter 3)
The slacker system explained to her very considerately: "Your teammates from the last round were all veteran players who had already cleared five games. As top players of the current Miracle Escape Live Stream Game, they already had a significant number of fans. Combined with the gimmick of being the first wave of players to undergo the promotion game, the number of viewers for that live stream was naturally very high."
"But in this round of the game, apart from you, only two players were veteran players, and the remaining three were novice players with zero fans. Those two veteran players haven't cleared many game rounds either, so presumably, their fan counts aren't very high. Now, do you understand?"
After listening to the system's explanation, Luo Yuejian was suddenly enlightened. So that was it! No wonder her fan count only increased by 300,000 this round. Holy crap, you have to admit, this system actually has some substance to it; its analysis was spot on.
Wait, but Luo Yuejian had another question: "Then why did it feel like the number of fans I gained before was quite high? Except for the first two rounds where no one was watching, the number of fans gained in each subsequent game wasn't exactly low, right?"
Hearing Luo Yuejian's question, the slacker system gave a very reasonable explanation: "Do you remember the rules of the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game? Each viewer can only follow three players. In the beginning, the viewers still had plenty of empty follow slots, so naturally, your fan growth was fast."
"But as time went on, the viewers might have already followed three players early on, leaving no extra follow slots for you."
After a pause, the slacker system continued: "If you can only gain 300,000 fans per game in future game dungeons, you can calculate how many games you need to clear to reach the goal of 10 million fans?"
Calculating it this way, Luo Yuejian would need to clear at least thirty games to harvest 10 million fans.
Holy crap, she had already gone through six games and was already physically and mentally exhausted from being beaten up by the game, the players, and the system combined.
Thirty games—that was simply a fantasy. Luo Yuejian suddenly felt a sense of despair; even a corporate slave shouldn't be treated like this!
Luo Yuejian couldn't help but ask: "So, you said all that just to tell me that instead of working hard to complete the 10 million fan goal set by the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game, it would be easier to just complete your game task and go die?"
The slacker system smiled slightly, "No, Host. I just want to tell you that if you want to complete the goal of gaining 10 million fans to resurrect as required by the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game, it is best to participate more in games that can quickly bring you fans."
"And the newly launched Entertainment Game of the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game fits this condition perfectly. As a large-scale game, there will definitely be many players participating."
The slacker system coaxed her: "Moreover, players who can enter Game City must be veteran players who have cleared at least one game, which means they all come with a fan base. The fan revenue that a game like this can bring you will definitely be huge."
Hearing this, Luo Yuejian was already clearly very wavering.
Because what the slacker system said indeed made sense; as long as she thought about it a little, she knew that the fan revenue this Entertainment Game mode could bring would absolutely far exceed ordinary game dungeons.
But Luo Yuejian was still a bit hesitant in her heart. Because if she wanted to complete the 10 million fan goal set by the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game, the number of games that needed to be cleared was really too many.
And Luo Yuejian happened to be someone who hated trouble.
So at this moment, she was actually still more inclined to complete the task goal of the slacker system; as long as she successfully died, she could be resurrected.
Playing one more game meant she would get one more skill and one more prop.
Props weren't much of an issue, as not many were useful. But the skills given by the slacker system—one never knew when they would stab you in the back.
Therefore, Luo Yuejian still hoped to avoid obtaining skills if she could.
This was also the reason why she was hesitant and didn't want to accept the invitation to the Entertainment Game dungeon.
As if seeing Luo Yuejian's wavering, the slacker system continued to persuade: "Besides, how can you guarantee that you will definitely win?"
"You have to know that this time the Entertainment mode is a large-scale game dungeon; there will definitely be many players. With many players, there are many variables. Aren't you best at finding opportunities in chaos?"
Hearing this, Luo Yuejian coughed dryly, feeling a bit guilty. She had always thought that she could find a way to throw the game in the chaos, but things often went against her wishes. From the perspective that she was still jumping around alive, she was also a complete failure.
But it was indeed as the system said; the more people there were, the easier it was to fish in troubled waters. Moreover, once there were many players, there would definitely be players with ill intentions. For the sake of the guarantee mechanism, these players would certainly try every means to trick and kill other players.
By then, in the environment of great chaos, perhaps someone could take her out in the confusion.
Thinking of this, Luo Yuejian wavered even more.
And it was at this moment that the slacker system delivered the final fatal blow: "Actually, the system's goal has always been to help the Host resurrect, regardless of whether the Host completes the system's tasks. So, in order to help the Host achieve the wish of resurrection sooner, this system has decided to sacrifice its small self and seek benefits for the Host!"
Luo Yuejian: ...
Actually, she didn't really believe the system's nonsense. But since the system was already preparing to beat drums and gongs to put on a show, she just played along and asked perfunctorily: "Mm-hmm, what benefits are you planning to seek for me?"
The slacker system: "If the Host dies after winning the next game, or if the game fails, the system will not only allow you to resurrect in the Real World, but will also convert all the tips you received in the game into real currency and deposit them into your account."
"This offer is only available this once, oh~"
Hearing this, Luo Yuejian couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and asked: "Can I know how much money my current tip amount would be if converted into real currency?"
The slacker system was silent for a while, as if checking data. A moment later, it blurted out a string of numbers.
In an instant, Luo Yuejian's eyes went a bit straight; she had never even had that many Happy Beans... Damn it, if she could really return to the Real World with so much money, she wouldn't need to earn money for her next life—no, the life after that, or the life after that!
Her brain suddenly became clear. Luo Yuejian's eyes became determined, and she decisively pressed her thumbprint firmly at the bottom of that invitation letter.
Damn it, let's do it!
