"Huh?" Laura and Elena were heartbroken at the same time, looking sideways at Yun Ming: "Colleague?"
"Yes, Laura, aren't you also my colleague? We have been acting together for several years." Yun Ming's tone was firm and confident. In the eyes of the two women, the "Christopher" in front of them seemed strange.
Laura and Elena were still making up lines in their minds to fool "Christopher", but Yun Ming had already completed his task:
[The current task has been completed]
[Task has been updated]
After the last task [Explain your relationship with Elena to Laura], there are three tasks that are rarely refreshed in succession. They are: [Visit Mayor Ethan and stay at Ethan’s house for more than an hour], [Investigating the truth behind the 5.04 intercity train traffic accident], and...
【escape】
The two tasks that Yun Ming has completed are marked with green ticks, which means that the tasks are completed; while the tasks of visiting Ethan and investigating the truth of the accident are marked with gray, which means that these two tasks cannot be completed or do not need to be completed.
Obviously, Yun Ming encountered the latter situation.
This script is a mission-progressive script, with a total of five missions. Players follow the mission guidance to gradually uncover the truth of Dungeon 65. The last mission [Escape] is the ultimate test, a clearance challenge for players after they explore the world view.
The above is the normal clearance process of this script.
However, Yun Ming did not take the usual path.
Most players will slowly realize the worldview of this parallel universe only after completing the third or fourth mission stage, but Yun Ming was different. He began to become suspicious the moment he saw Elena, and stopped for a moment. After finishing the meal, it was almost certain that there was a ghost in Dungeon 65.
In the end, Laura's appearance completely confirmed Yun Ming's guess, and everything he had suspected before was explained. Now that Yun Ming has unlocked the world view, the last two tasks arranged by the system are naturally useless.
For example, when we play Plants vs. Zombies, we have to unlock new plants from level to level, and finally bring a plant deck to attack the boss. Yun Ming's behavior is equivalent to using only sunflowers and pea shooters to fight against the Zombie King.
I won't tell you how Yun Ming saw through "The Chris Show". Let's take a look at the current situation first.
"Oh...the next two tasks were directly crossed out. Is it because I have met the conditions to trigger the last task?" Yun Ming looked directly at the ultimate challenge: "[Escape] means to let me escape from this studio. Yeah. It’s not easy to handle. The whole dungeon is full of people from the film crew. Thousands of people came to the restaurant to surround me. I definitely won’t be able to get out if I use force..."
"But..." Yun Ming looked at Laura and Elena: "If someone can help me..."
Yun Ming had a plan in his mind, and with evil thoughts, he suddenly became evil and had a knife in his hand. Before Laura and Elena could react from their daze (actually they were waiting for the next command from James in the earphones), "Christopher" put a table knife against Laura's throat.
…
"Yes, Laura, aren't you also my colleague? We have been acting together for several years, right." On the screen, "Christopher" said something lightly, but it caused an uproar in the studio:
"Did Chris find out?"
"We are still broadcasting live now! More than one billion viewers are watching!"
"How come Laura and Elena didn't react at all? Say something!"
"Elena said she came back recently. Did this answer make Chris suspicious?"
"But how did he reason about 'The Chris Show'? Did you hear what he said? He clearly used the word co-starring."
The studio staff were completely unprepared for Yun Ming's sudden exposure, and were at a loss as to what to do.
At this juncture, there is a figure to carry the flag. James, the chief director of "The Chris Show" and the soul of the show, was the first to recover from the shock and stepped forward without hesitation:
"Gentlemen, back to your work stations, our protagonist has a big surprise for us."
"Stop the live broadcast first and insert ads first."
As a well-known director, James has excellent on-the-spot command and control skills. The people who have found their backbone act according to his instructions. An advertisement replaces Christopher's shot:
"Hunter men's clothing, life show!"
“Christopher’s date shirt is exclusively sponsored by Hunter Hunter Men’s Wear!”
On the screen, there was actually an advertisement for the suit Yun Ming was wearing now.
"Laura, you go right now..." James was about to give Laura a rescue order, but a new scene on the screen made him unable to speak:
A table knife was pressed against Laura's neck. "Christopher" used extremely agile skills to control the latter and drag her away from Elena.
"The lives of your actresses are now in my hands!" Christopher looked around alertly: "I want to talk to the person in charge!"
…
Yun Ming threatened the two of them and said: "Miss Laura, Miss Elena, I don't know your real names, but I know that you must receive the director's instructions through something. Now, please hand over that thing."
After deducing the truth of this script, Yun Ming thought of this. The main actors other than Christopher must have communication media with the director and others. What he has to do now is to destroy this medium. At least the hostage Laura in his hand must not have any means of communication.
"In my ear!" Laura shouted anxiously: "The left ear!"
"Thank you for your cooperation." Yun Ming thanked him, brushing Laura's hair away with his left hand, and holding the knife firmly with his right hand. A flesh-colored metal bead the size of a soybean was plucked out of Laura's ear by Yun Ming.
"This is the headset, where is the communicator?"
"No more! This headset has communication functions!" Laura's expression was panicked, and she didn't seem to be faking it.
"Can such a small metal ball have dual functions of communication and paging?" Yun Ming thought to himself, "The technological capabilities of this world seem to be higher than I imagined."
There was no time to think too much, Yun Ming said to Elena who was silent: "Take off your headset too, I will only count three times, one...two..."
"Elena, listen to him!" Laura, who was held hostage by Yun Ming, begged.
Elena had to take off her headset and raised her hands: "Hey! Chris, calm down, we don't mean any harm."
"Compared to whether you have any malicious intentions, I'm more curious about another thing." Yun Ming was very surprised: "Your name is actually Elena?"
"Yes, Elena, Laura, Jenny, Ethan, etc. are all our own names. The director asked us to use our real names in the reality show in order to bring a sense of reality to the audience."
"Who is the director of this reality show?" Yun Ming asked with interest.
"James. Not deaf yet."
"What an unfortunate name this is..."
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Elena's crew broke into the confrontation scene, led by Agent Mustache. This group of people rushed out from inside the restaurant; there were also people outside the restaurant who came in twos and threes to surround the main entrance of the restaurant, making it difficult for Yun Ming to escape.
"Hey, this is what you deserve." In the encirclement, Yun Ming calculated the escape route: "Follow the task arrangement given by the system. In order to complete the fourth task of investigating the truth of the train accident, I will definitely go to the train in No. 65 Underground City. Stand and take a look, and you’ll probably be able to reason everything out there.”
"After cracking the truth, the final escape mission will be revealed. If you follow the railway track, you will almost certainly be able to find the exit of this studio."
"If I follow the script in a regular manner, I will be at the underground city train station when the final mission comes out, not far from the exit, so it will not be difficult to escape."
"But I am bringing the plot to a climax at this stage. I don't even know where the train station is, and there are a steady stream of extras blocking me here. The difficulty of the script has been artificially raised to an incredible level by me. "
In this seemingly desperate situation, Yun Ming smiled:
"It's hard to do...but it should be like this. This is how smart people should play games."
