Behind the door...
It was a blanket of white light.
"Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!"
Surprisingly, there was a lot of applause.
Zhou Liye collapsed to the ground, looking completely bewildered, and stared at his surroundings like a fool.
A staff member came over and handed him a cup of hot water with a smile.
"Congratulations, Mr. Zhou! You are the first player to clear the Healing Hall!"
Zhou Liye repeated, dumbfounded, "I... I cleared the game? The Healing Center?"
Zhou Liye, who had just cleared the level, was soaked in sweat from head to toe, and his face was covered in tears and snot, making him look extremely disheveled.
Even now, he is still trembling slightly all over, but he is completely unaware of it.
The staff quickly handed him a large blanket and wrapped him up completely.
Zhou Liye sat there blankly for half an hour before slowly coming back to her senses.
The tens of millions of severed nerves all uttered the same lament:
"Holy crap..."
Genuine feelings and emotions.
The staff quickly came over and presented him with a certificate recognizing him as the first player to clear the "Healing Hall" level, and also gave him a small toy.
—That rag doll.
Under normal lighting, the doll only looks a little creepy; it doesn't have the same chilling realism as the one in the therapy center.
When the staff checked again a few minutes later...
Zhou Liye had already thrown the rag doll to the ground, and then leaped up—
While frantically trampling on the doll, she cried out, "Go to hell at your treatment center! Go to hell at your mom and dad! I'll kill you, kill you, you big bad guy! Waaah!"
Staff: "..."
Someone come quick! Another one has gone mad! Take him away!
On the very first day the treatment center opened, it drove dozens of players crazy.
Of course, most people, when they find the game too terrifying, will choose to frighten themselves by turning on their communicators and notifying the staff to take them out.
Only Zhou Liye was there; he had banged his head against the door and was crying uncontrollably, completely forgetting about the incident...
Of course, this misfortune turned into a blessing, as Zhou Liye became the first player to clear the "Healing Hall" dungeon.
Moreover, the staff greatly admired his thick skin.
—You cried like this, yet you still managed to hold on without asking for outside help!
—Don't be fooled by his constant "whimpering," he's actually a tough guy deep down!
The staff felt increasingly respectful and couldn't help but give Zhou, the iron-blooded true man and the lucky young lady, a thumbs up.
179. Hey, come and eat!
After clearing the checkpoint, Zhou Liye rested for a while backstage at the treatment center, and before he knew it, it was noon.
Half a day has been wasted!
Heartbroken, Zhou Liye decided not to eat lunch at a restaurant and instead lined up for a carnival-style barbecue on the roadside.
In previous years, many players rushed from one event to another at the carnival, often resulting in everyone skipping meals.
The saying goes, "It's better to guide than to block."
Bluestar simply set up many small roadside stalls throughout the park, and they were all very unique.
Most importantly, each food item comes with a QR code, which you can scan to enter a prize draw!
There's a chance to win carnival-exclusive mounts, outfits, titles, and more...
The worst part is that these are all the kind that become unavailable immediately after the carnival!
This move hit the player's Achilles' heel!
So this year, in addition to visiting the experience center, some players even rushed to eat at various venues.
You have to understand that those who manage to win carnival tickets are all incredibly lucky, extremely confident in their luck, to the point of being arrogant...
They want to gamble on the discovery of rare, out-of-print items, so they'll definitely come to buy food.
What does it mean to eat three meals a day?
They can eat ten meals a day without stopping!
In this situation, the best-selling food in every restaurant was surprisingly the smallest and cheapest snack.
Because every purchase comes with a QR code, everyone chooses to buy a small bag of fries and then happily goes to eat them.
Nevertheless, because there are so many specialty dishes at the carnival and each restaurant has a unique QR code card pool, there are still many dishes that you simply can't finish.
