2: Chapter 2 Devil's Villa 2

This time, the screen went completely black, but everyone no longer had the relatively relaxed, albeit not entirely lighthearted, mindset they had just moments ago.

In addition to the game levels, they also had to be constantly on guard against teammates who might want to clear the game by killing others. There was no telling when a teammate behind you might stab you in the back, which greatly increased the players' psychological pressure.

From this moment on, it would be very difficult for players to trust one another. Even if you believed you wouldn't stab someone in the back, what about your teammates? It was hard to judge a teammate's character in such a short period of time.

The Suit-wearing Young Man's face looked grim. Forcing down his emotions, he comforted the wary players around him, "I don't think everyone needs to be so tense. Before we died, I believe everyone here was just an ordinary person. Let alone killing someone, we'd probably have to think twice before even killing a chicken."

"As things stand, completing the game seems much more convenient and simpler than winning by killing people. Even if someone does harbor malicious intent, I doubt the rest of us here would just sit back and watch without doing anything, right?"

Once the Suit-wearing Young Man finished speaking, everyone's expressions softened a bit. Indeed, this was only the first game. Without being driven to a life-or-death crisis, those who were twisted enough to want to clear the game by killing others were still a minority.

Feeling the atmosphere gradually ease, the players in the hall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Only then did they notice that a black bracelet had appeared on their wrists at some point.

Luo Yuejian touched her bracelet, and a panel immediately appeared in front of her:

Player: Luo Yuejian

Fans: 771

Items: None

Luo Yuejian was surprised. Where did these 771 fans come from?

Meanwhile, in Luo Yuejian's livestream room.

[Hey, Miracle Company is actually showing some creativity this time, choosing contestants from low-level civilizations. This is way more interesting than other escape games!]

[This girl's looks really hit the spot for me! White hair is the absolute best! I'm following her first out of respect!]

[The first livestream room I stumbled upon actually belongs to a beauty. Hehe, rounding it up, that means I'm a beauty too!]

[I feel like this beauty has got something going for her...]

[Interesting. When the others first woke up, they all looked terrified. Only this girl remained calm and even had the presence of mind to observe her surroundings.]

[Did you guys notice? On her way to the switch, there was a lot of fallen clutter, but she walked past it smoothly. What does that mean? It means she took advantage of the light from the lightning to carefully observe the Villa's layout!]

[Wow, is this girl really that amazing? Without the bullet comments, I'd be clueless, boohoo. I'm following this girl!]

[Is she really that good? I think it was just a coincidence.]

[Heh, what kind of impressive people could come from a low-level civilization? She's only got her face going for her.]

[Usually, the good-looking ones die fast. Just wait and see.]

...

There weren't that many people in the livestream room, only a few tens of thousands. Although there was a massive Interstellar population, the number of people watching the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game who happened to stumble upon Luo Yuejian's livestream room out of tens of thousands of deceased contestants was naturally much smaller.

Each Interstellar viewer could only follow a maximum of three accounts, so everyone was still taking a wait-and-see approach.

Luo Yuejian pondered for a moment and suddenly realized—had the livestream already started? Thinking back to how she had behaved just now, she didn't think there was anything noteworthy about her. So, did they just follow her randomly?

But she was afraid they were going to be disappointed, because Luo Yuejian had absolutely no intention of playing this stupid escape game.

It was laughable. How could an ordinary person like her, who was as average as average could be, possibly survive such a dangerous escape game?

Luo Yuejian had a clear self-awareness. No matter how hard she struggled, she probably wouldn't survive more than a few levels. Rather than putting in all that effort only to be killed by the game in despair, she might as well just slack off and get it over with. However, her desire to survive couldn't be completely extinguished.

Just as she was torn between slacking off and struggling to survive, an unexpected voice rang out.

"Ding! The slacker system has been activated."

Luo Yuejian was stunned. Reflexively, she scanned her surroundings, but she didn't see any unusual expressions on anyone else's faces. A hint of strangeness flashed in her eyes, while her heart was in a state of absolute turmoil.

A system? Was it what she thought it was? The standard package for a protagonist?

Calming her mind, she asked in her head, "Hello, System. Can you introduce your functions to me?"

The cold, mechanical voice of the slacker system sounded: "Hello, Host. This is the slacker system. Your task is very simple: as long as you lose a game, the system can automatically help you escape the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game and resurrect you on Blue Star."

Luo Yuejian suddenly wondered if she was hallucinating because she wanted to slack off so badly. This was just... too perfect for her!

The system continued: "The prerequisite is that during the escape game, you must not intentionally seek death, deliberately ignore clues, etc. The right to interpret the aforementioned prerequisites belongs solely to the system."

"If the host's death is caused by intentionally seeking death, this death will not count toward the system reward, and the host will be resurrected to play the game again. If the host causes their own death by intentionally seeking death a second time, it will result in true death."

Luo Yuejian understood. It meant she couldn't intentionally throw the game; she still had to actually play it.

But that was also very simple! She wasn't good at winning games, but losing them was a piece of cake! Compared to clearing the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game, which required gathering ten million fans, the resurrection condition of this slacker system was practically a godsend!

"Wait, if I fail the game, will my teammates in the same game die too?" Luo Yuejian suddenly realized this issue.

She didn't want to deliberately sabotage her teammates just because she wanted to lose, causing them to be buried with her. After all, they still had hope of surviving.

Anti-Escape System: "Host, there is no need to worry. After the host loses the game, the game for the other players in this match will be reset, and it will not affect them."

Now Luo Yuejian was relieved. Although her expressionless face couldn't smile, she still photoshopped a wicked grin onto herself in her mind: Time to slack off!
