Chapter 1619: Bao Xu’s Smart Breakthrough

Everyone was stunned! They could not understand the current situation.

“What’s going on? Ruan Guangjian, why are you here?” Chen Kangtuo was very confused.

He had also invited Ruan Guangjian previously, wanting him to be the person-in-charge of this revenge on Bao Xu like Qiao Liang. However, Ruan Guangjian had rejected him with the excuse that he was busy with work.

He had not expected Ruan Guangjian to sneak over and appear in this way.

Ruan Guangjian roared with laughter. “How is it? My acting is not bad, right!”

Qiao Liang said, “I already said that you’re the most suitable as a psychopathic murderer. You just have to restrain yourself.”

“However, speaking of which, even though your role is very similar, you are actually acting as yourself. There’s no difficulty. Brother Bao and I are the ones who really contributed Oscar-worthy acting skills.”

Everyone looked at Bao Xu again and saw that Bao Xu, who had been groaning and groaning as if he was about to die, had now become lively again.

He showed everyone the wound on his left arm. There was actually no wound at all.

That was just a blood bag that he used to film movies. It created a realistic effect, as if it was really bleeding.

Coupled with the chaotic situation at that time, Chen Kangtuo was easily deceived.

The other people in charge were still confused. They did not understand what was going on!

Qiao Liang explained, “Brother Bao knew that you would definitely target him, so he found Ruan Guangjian and I to cooperate with him to play a trick.”

“We asked Big Boss Ruan to disguise as a psychopathic murderer and sneak in. Then, Brother Bao and I will make it look like we are being chased and hacked by a psychopathic murderer.”

“As for the cell phone, Big Boss Ruan hid it secretly, of course. It’s in the sundry over there.”

Chen Kangtuo did not know to laugh or to cry. He had really tried to gain an advantage only to end up worse off!

Initially, he had wanted to collaborate with the other people in charge to give Bao Xu a good scare. All sorts of mechanisms had been arranged.

In the end, he did not expect Bao Xu to give him a taste of his own medicine! He found Qiao Liang and Ruan Guangjian, one of them was a mole, and the other was an external help. He acted out a scheme and scared all the people in charge.

It might be a little ridiculous but these people in charge had really been deceived. They really thought that a psychopathic murderer had mixed in from the haunted house project.

Bao Xu smiled. “How is it? Do you want to continue playing?”

Chen Kangtuo waved his hand dismissively. “Forget it, forget it. I’m not playing anymore. It’s boring.”

He had wanted to be a Hunter, but he had inexplicably become a prey. His mood had been completely ruined.

It would be difficult to achieve the corresponding effect even if he continued to let Bao Xu stay to experience it. The entire atmosphere had been completely led astray by Bao Xu.

Chen Kangtuo had not expected Bao Xu to break out of the game in this way.

He might feel very unhappy but he could only be convinced.

Qiao Liang said, “Actually, I think that what happened this time gave us a revelation. There are obviously more ways to play the foreign tourist, such as the spy mode.”

“When tourists participate in this project as a team, they can arrange a special identity and mission for everyone. One of the spies is responsible for destroying the evidence in the haunted house to prevent the team from completing the mission or to achieve some special goal.”

“If we can prove that the spy can successfully complete the mission, we can have a unique reward. On the other hand, if this spy is discovered, the other team members can use a certain method to heal him and turn him back into a friendly team member.”

“I think this form of entertainment and excitement can also be an important supplement to the gameplay.”

Chen Kangtuo clapped. “That makes sense!”

“The original intention of the foreign tourist project is to be like the Haunted House Nightmare. Through distorting the commonly seen scenes, it would bring tourists a mental sense of horror. If you follow this train of thought, what would be more exciting than if someone was actually a ghost or an undercover agent among the teammates who came in together?”

“This is especially so for veteran gamers who have entered many times. They might have figured out the rules of action of the ghosts and monsters. They are also mentally prepared. It is very difficult to give them a greater scare and stimulation by simply acting as ghosts and monsters as the staff.”

“Under such circumstances, if different people could act as spies in each team, this project would become repeatable and playable.”

“What’s more, many ways of playing can be developed on this basis in the future. In the same setting, it would bring tourists completely different experiences every time.”

Ruan Guangjian added, “I also thought of a new idea. It is to determine their ending based on the final outcome achieved by tourists in the team mode.”

“For example, a player went through a lot of hardships and used his partner to solve the puzzle. He thought that he had successfully escaped. However, he triggered a special ending and became an accomplice. He was restrained by the wandering souls of his other partners in this place.”

“We can provide them with experience of multiple endings based on the different results of the riddle. That way, people will try different routes in order to refresh the endings. They will form teams and experience it repeatedly.”

“It can also greatly increase the interest of the project.”

Chen Kangtuo could not help but applaud. “Good idea, that sounds promising!”

“I’ll go back and come up with a new plan.”

Hao Qiong asked, “What about our internal beta testing?”

Initially, he had intended to let Bao Xu experience the game for 10 days to half a month and look for various puzzles. However, Bao Xu’s beautiful countermeasure solved everyone’s plot directly. Naturally, this beta activity was meaningless.

Chen Kangtuo said, “Next, we’ll draw a batch of beta players from the old players of Thriller Hostel to play.”

July 27th, Saturday.

The carefully selected team of beta players entered Thriller Hostel’s foreign project.

These beta players were selected from the elite players of Thriller Hostel.

However, only about one-third of them had experience clearing the Ultimate Horror. Others might not have experienced the Ultimate Horror project but they had experienced the Desperate Escape or Haunted House Nightmare.

At first, Chen Kangtuo planned to choose all the tourists who would clear the Ultimate Horror for the beta testing. However, on further thought, that was not appropriate.

That was because the visitors who cleared the Ultimate Horror would be elite Haunted House gamers. They would have a high tolerance for horror scenarios. If they only chose this type of visitors, the final result might be different.

The entire team had to have players who had different tolerance for horror scenes. That way, the test conclusion would be more accurate.

What’s more, players with different personalities might use different game methods after entering. That was also one of the key points to observe in the beta.

This time, the ghosts and monsters were not played by the people in charge. Instead, they were professional haunted house actors.

These actors basically had some experience acting as ghosts. It was quite scary.

Chen Kangtuo was in charge of the central control panel. He maintained contact with the ghost actors in the haunted house at all times. At the same time, he checked the situation of each scene according to the surveillance camera. Once he discovered any problems, he could immediately arrange for the staff to evacuate.

The beta test this time would last for three days. It was mainly to determine the mechanisms and scenes, the degree of fear for tourists, and the difficulty of solving the riddle.

If a certain scene or mechanism scared tourists too much, they would consider making some distinction and hints at the entrance of the scene. For example, there would be more blood at the entrance of the dangerous scene so that the courageous players would enter to explore.

If players’ puzzles were frequently stuck at a certain segment, they would have to consider increasing the relevant hints in this segment so that players could successfully crack the clues.

At the same time, Chen Kangtuo was seriously thinking about the new gameplay for the mole mode.

He believed that after the internal beta testing ended, the foreign tourist project would definitely become popular and become the new lead amusement project in the economic prediction.

At 6:00 PM, the first day of beta testing ended.

The gamers who had participated in the beta testing left the foreign tourist project and heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, they began to discuss enthusiastically.

“This new project is very interesting. Not only are the scenes used in Tengda Corporation’s various industries to build a scary parallel world, but they are also combined with these settings to make some special horror scenes. It’s quite novel. I haven’t seen it in other haunted houses.”

“It’s quite interesting to be able to adjust the number of people dynamically. The entire venue is big enough with a team as the unit. It’s very interactive to come in. However, I heard that there are also individual experiences. I wonder what kind of terrifying feeling it is to experience alone in such a huge place. I have to try it out when I have the time!”

“It’s quite interesting to solve the riddle in such a thrilling environment. It’s a little like escaping the secret room, but the scene is bigger. The overall rhythm is more flexible!”

“The level of horror is just right, and there is a sense of aftertaste. It might be very scary inside, but once you leave, you will quickly activate the brain’s protection mechanism and forget all the memories inside. However, this haunted house is related to reality, so I feel a strong aftertaste. I still have some fear!”

“Why don’t we wash our hands next to the Healing Fountain?”

“Wait, there seems to be an entrance to the zoo here. We can go to the zoo to heal.”

Everyone quickly agreed with his suggestion to go to the zoo.

Healing Fountain might also have a certain healing effect but he had been there many times after all. He was a little tired of going to the Healing Fountain to wash his hands every time he came out of the Ultimate Horror or Haunted House Nightmare.

The foreign tourist project was facing the new zoo. Of course, they had to experience it.

Everyone walked into the zoo and realized that there were quite a number of people in the zoo, perhaps because it was Saturday.

All sorts of cute animals looked full of energy and were jumping up and down inside. What’s more, many small animals were not afraid of people. They were interacting with tourists under the guidance of the administrator.

After touching the small, hairy animals, everyone felt that the shock they had received in the foreign traveler project had melted like snow meeting a warm sun.

Everyone saw the strange scene of the bickering area as they continued walking forward. They saw two tourists, a parakeet named Bickering, and the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine bickering. In the end, the two of them were defeated very quickly.

Everyone could not help but feel emotional. This zoo seemed to have a very strange style!
