During the Blue Star Carnival, a truly magical scene unfolded:
In front of almost every restaurant, there were players carrying large bags of food, with a piece of paper stuck to their chests or holding signs that read: "Free fries/sandwiches/egg tarts".
Even more surprisingly, at the entrance of a popular League of Legends-themed restaurant, staff had to bring in a long table.
On the table were stacks of fries that none of the players had eaten.
There was a similar sign on the table: "Free use of dining table".
Although resource scarcity no longer exists in the interstellar era, wasting food is no longer something to be condemned.
However, there are still many players with high moral character who are unwilling to waste the food at hand and stuff themselves until they are completely full.
In this situation, a part-time job called "fries substitute" even emerged in the park!
A snack costs 2-5 yuan.
This is where the magic of this era comes in: players actually have to pay others to eat the snacks they bought...
Zhou Liye was the same; in the Minecraft-themed restaurant, as the queue stretched out, several people walked up to her.
They were all carrying bags of snacks, asking each player in line, "Want some snacks? Want some egg tarts? They're all fresh, hot, and untouched..."
Zhou Liye slowly asked, "?"
The other person grabbed his hand very enthusiastically: "If you can finish all my snacks today, we'll be brothers!"
Zhou Liye coldly replied, "Sorry, I'm a loyal Minecraft player, and I absolutely must get my hands on this rare skin."
The other person immediately shook off his hand: "So you're a competitor, huh!"
During the queue, the players had many small interactions, which was quite interesting.
Zhou Liye noticed that the person standing to his right was also wearing the same mask as him—a Minecraft block character mask.
We're kindred spirits! And this person's features seem familiar, like I've seen them somewhere before?
Zhou Liye asked, puzzled, "Hello, haven't we met before?"
Mingyan: "..." Ah, what an old-fashioned pickup line.
Mingyan peeked out and saw that Comrade Xia Cheng was in line to buy pizza and hadn't noticed them yet.
Otherwise, Xia Xiaocheng would have already childishly jumped out, brandishing the words "I am his boyfriend" above his head to assert his ownership.
"We're all fans of Blue Star." Mingyan said vaguely, his gaze already fixed on the rag doll in Zhou Liye's arms. "Oh, you went to the Healing Hall? And you even beat it?"
Zhou Liye blushed and mumbled, "Yes, I think I was the first person to clear the game."
As for crying while completing the game, let's not even go into that... Men still have their pride, right?
"Impressive, impressive." Mingyan nodded. He really hadn't realized that this young man with a youthful face was actually a tough and ruthless man.
Zhou Liye got a little smug and showed the doll to Mingyan, saying, "Are you usually afraid of ghosts?"
Mingyan smiled and said, "I'm alright."
Zhou Liye immediately said, "Then I suggest you don't go to that experience center! It's terrifying, really terrifying! I dare say, out of a hundred people who go in, ninety-nine will be scared to death, and the remaining one will be completely dumbfounded!"
Ming asked, "So which category do you fall into?"
"..." Zhou Liye choked for a moment, "Uh cough, slip of the tongue, the last one is a reckless player like me who clears the level!"
As the lingering fear of the treatment center gradually faded, the joy of showing off in front of others emerged.
Zhou Liye reverted to his talkative nature, rambling on to Mingyan: "Let me tell you, that treatment center is..."
I've been rambling on and on, simplifying and embellishing my own walkthrough, practically spoiling the whole thing.
As proof, there was also a video he recorded.
After muting it, you can no longer hear Zhou Liye's screams and cries! It's perfect!
Mingyan smiled and didn't ask him any questions. After watching the video, he said, "Did you notice that the villa has three floors, but there are seven sections of corridor?"
Zhou Liye paused for a moment, then began to think.
The villa has three floors, with the underground section entirely serving as the backstage area.
The player experience area is entirely upstairs.
The corridor is L-shaped and has a half-step staircase. The two sections of the corridor can be joined together to form a single, complete floor.
So the first six sections of the corridor can be squeezed into three floors.
—But what about the seventh paragraph?
Where is the seventh section of the corridor located?
Swish.
Zhou Liye's face turned deathly pale, and he swayed precariously: "No, it can't be that supernatural!!"
Mingyan stood next to the line, took a cup of hot water from the side, handed it to Zhou Liye, and continued kindly, "And the footsteps you mentioned, they're not that scary, it's just—well, I guess, it's just a replay of your footsteps from the previous floor."
From the middle to the later part, you can hear footsteps on every floor.
The increasingly rapid footsteps were Zhou Liye's own footsteps as she went up to the next floor.
