"Then today's live broadcast ends here. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting. Thank you."
Suburban Y City, Bihai Apartment, 13th floor,
Late at night, in a messy rental house, Ye Ge, who was sitting in front of the computer, took off his headphones slightly tiredly, controlled the mouse to turn off the game live broadcast room, which had not many people in it.
Smoothing the slightly messy and greasy hair in front of his forehead, Ye Ge leaned on the back of the hard chair and exhaled softly. He picked up the cigarette case and took a look at it, then threw the empty cigarette case into the already filled one with disappointment.
In the trash can, the tumbling craving for cigarettes is suppressed.
"It's time to pay the rent again."
Glancing at the calendar, Ye Ge closed his sore eyes and rubbed his eyes with his hands, thinking about how he could make up for the vacancy of more than 3,000 yuan in one week.
As for asking his family for money to pay the rent, this option has never appeared in his mind. Since it is the path of life he has chosen, he has to go on it even if he walks on his knees.
When his eyes felt a little more comfortable, Ye Ge clenched his fists and tried to stand up, but found that his body had no energy at all - just like his live broadcast room with a pool of stagnant water.
"It sucks. I'm already twenty-five years old, but I'm living like a dog."
I obviously got into a good university, but I didn't participate in any job fairs after graduation. After being dissuaded by my family, I stubbornly decided to leave my hometown and come to a big city. I devoted myself wholeheartedly to the industry of game anchoring, but in the end, my life was a mess.
.
Otherwise, the company will deduct part of the points as a reward.
"Yes, he just needs to turn on his phone. The phone he used to have is no longer his employee's phone. It is a white technology product that can be lost or thrown away. The specific live broadcast method and live broadcast content are all outside his phone. It is good to look at it less.
,
After pressing the power button, the screen instantly lit up at an incomprehensible speed. Before checking it slowly, Ye Ge discovered eight changes in the phone.
The game background of Escape from Tarkov is set outside a war-torn city called [Takov] in the fictional Novinsk Special Economic Zone. He Meilin, who was jointly blockaded by the United Nations and Russia, was reduced to hell on earth.
Ye Ge asked another question on the phone, but got no response. At this moment, he was completely sleepy. He Mei just wanted to find out what changes had happened to her Huawei phone as soon as possible.
"In this way, the contract has come into effect. Welcome to join the company, host Ye Ge."
Apart from this, the company does not mind if the anchor uses the things he gets to do mischief before leaving the game. As long as the anchor can bear the consequences, the contract will be automatically voided if someone kills him.
Generally speaking, there are no very strict confidentiality regulations. Ye Ge can reveal his identity and no information about the [Company] in real life and game live broadcasts.
He took a deep breath and rubbed his cheeks vigorously. When he felt pain, Ye Ge struggled to squeeze a little air out of his lungs.
The eighth change is that the Miaoya live broadcast outside the mobile phone has turned into a white swirl icon with eight simplified Chinese characters for "Live Broadcast Room" written above it.
"It seems like there are some overlord clauses."
Ye Ge silently put the glass ashtray down, feeling that Ah Piao was too flat.
There will be no viewers in the world he is in and the world you are in. The audience's encouragement can also increase his anchor points. In terms of the company's operation, his true identity will be exposed, so there is no psychological burden.
Ye Ge looked blankly at the changing environment around him, always feeling that he was being treated like a monkey.
"If you don't have enough anchor points, you can't terminate the contract. He can also keep some of his own things. Think about it, no matter what he learns, it will always be more than enough to feed him outside their world, right?"
Ye Ge, whose stomach was not feeling sore, turned on his mobile phone. It was not even two o'clock in the afternoon, so he opened the software for sale, and after taking a look at the extremely affordable prices, he filled his stomach perfectly.
"If you want to be free and break the contract, what price do you have to pay?"
"Don't be so cold, brother. If you have nothing to do, tell him and help him."
Looking further up, except for the live broadcast screen which is slightly different from Miaoya Live Broadcast, there are only eight icons under the page, namely [Channel Expansion], [Live Broadcast Agreement] and [Live Broadcast Preparation]. There is no one before the live broadcast preparation.
It’s a full eight-day countdown.
"The ways to make money are all outside the criminal law. If it's illegal, eight thousand a week is too weak. You'd better move into the house. You're stupid enough to rent one directly."
Such an expensive house has wasted all my future savings... What a little fool!"
"Tsk, tsk, you really have the right to answer that question. Let's do that. What does he think you are, and what do you take for granted."
You only have 100 points now. In principle, you can only win eight times. The seventh time your points will be higher than 30 points, and you will die outside the provisions of the live broadcast agreement.
Returning to the bedroom, Ye Ge suppressed his worries and clicked the button to prepare for the live broadcast. He secretly prayed that the difficulty of his first destination would be higher so that he could accumulate some points to increase his fault tolerance.
If you want to obtain auxiliary skills, you must spend extra points, which means that your fault tolerance rate will step back and decrease, and the number of deaths may be compressed into one...
Thinking that he was going to retreat to the city of Tarkov in his current state, Ye Ge couldn't breathe.
In that safe area where a small number of civilians have not fled, there are numerous extremely safe militants, including but limited to local scavengers, bandits, thieves, passionate mercenaries fighting for money, and hidden in the
Cultists in dark corners of the city,
Now it seems that whether you come to a small city or choose the path of game anchor, it is stupid enough.
"That's wrong, but what he wants most is money, right? Why did Ran Ran choose to be a game anchor? Do you think that world is too boring?"
In the live broadcast of the reality show, if I want to earn points, I must try my best to play the role I am playing, and be able to reveal my true identity to characters outside the game world.
"Is that doubtful that he will die?"
"Get some sleep and go to the market tomorrow to buy steamed buns worth ten yuan, and take a look at the low-cost houses in the distance. People, you should spend the money you earn. Take it as a lesson."
It seemed that he didn't have the ability to read people's minds. The voice outside the phone was seductive, like a demon talking in a special way.
Besides, you understand the meaning of live reality show very well."
"Did you smash his only mobile phone? What can he do? Shouldn't a poor primary school student stop threatening others?"
The first change is not that the battery level displays numbers again, but that the [∞] symbol lights up, as if there is an endless amount of power.
"Hey, is he still there?"
The seventh change is that the software lacks a skull icon under the homepage of the screen, and above it is written "Anchor Code" in seven simplified Chinese characters.
After thinking about it, Ye Ge first clicked on the [Anchor Code]. The content was not very small. A small part of the content was the personal constraints on the anchor, and a large part of the content was how the anchor output [emotional value] outside the live show to please the audience.
"It's not the same as the one I signed when I signed one. Speaking of which, did he listen to the conditions? The treatment is quite generous~"
"What do you do next? Turn on the computer? Stand up and dance or something?"
After digesting all the information, Ye Ge's face became normal and ugly.
"It's just a little worse than telecommunications fraud... Hey! Don't turn off his phone! Does he think it's a waste of effort?"
"Is this actually the safe world of [Escape from He Meilin]?"
Ye Ge is a new anchor, you are looking forward to his performance."
The voice outside the phone lacked a hint of unintelligible smile.
"He cannot understand that outside the stipulated time, he needs to retreat to the game world designated by your company to complete some tasks. Completing those tasks will bring him anchor points.
The role of anchor points is very small. It can not only extend the duration of the contract, but also allow him to keep some items in the game world or learned skills when he leaves, and bring them to the real world where he is.
"Re Jing, you must come up Re Jing."
Ye Ge broke out in sweat and felt cold on the soles of his feet when he saw the name and introduction of the game.
In that case, we still have to complete the live broadcast task...
Hearing that, Ye Ge was determined. A small part of the reason why I am so poor is not because I have not signed a contract with the platform union.
"The rewards for the first mission and death will be reduced by 50%. For abnormal victory, 50% of the total points will be deducted. If the points are 30 points, 30 points will be deducted. If the points are sufficient, the contract will be terminated.
Did you encounter a ghost in the middle of the night? It is said that ghosts are afraid of cruel people, and now is the time when they can be the most frightened.
Ye Ge hurriedly exhaled a breath, and then when he arrived, he picked up the mobile phone with a white screen and said in a deep voice.
"The first question is, who are he and the company he talks about? Are they from the planet?"
"To put it more complicated, before signing a contract with your company, he needs to participate in a live broadcast show. Since he hates games so much, he uses the game world as the background. Fortunately, there are not many VIPs there who are game geeks.
That’s a little too difficult.”
Those special people who can leave Tarkov in time can only fight outside the city that has not completely lost order, plundering the few resources among the separatist armed gangs to continue their lives and struggle to survive.
I am a lonely orphan. If it were true, I would be afraid of visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, especially in an environment where having a serious job means finding a serious partner means you are worthy of being a human being.
If you die outside the game world, you will really die, but a fixed number of anchor points will be deducted. Once the anchor points are deducted, your contract will be terminated. At this time, you will take back his life. Maybe people inside will see it.
Come on, he will die of myocardial infarction."
The channel extension is a gray icon that cannot be clicked. Ye Ge can only click on the live broadcast agreement. It was like an enlightenment. In the last second, his head seemed to explode. Countless information was directly instilled into the depths of Ye Ge's consciousness.
Ye Ge stared blankly at the phone call that hadn't been hung up yet. Ye Ge was a little confused and suddenly became confused.
Picking up the glass ashtray, Ye Ge stared at his mobile phone and said hotly.
"He said."
Just like a blind box arriving, the ever-changing light pollution finally came up fiercely, sifting out the first game world.
"You signed that employment agreement."
"Are you betting on your life? I really dare to say that you paid such a small price, what can you get?
Before I finished speaking, there was a sound on the phone, and the rental house became quiet again, as if everything I had just experienced was an illusion.
After turning off [Anchor Rules], Ye Ge clicked on the [Live Broadcast Room] software. The most eye-catching thing was not the [Anchor’s current points: 100] marked in red font.
That's not the reward that can be given to him. There are less things that he has to explore quickly on his own. Can you say it's too little~
"Damn it, are telecommunication frauds that powerful nowadays? Can you still keep the conversation going after you hang up?"
Ye Ge, who was not feeling anxious at all, put on his cell phone and went to the bathroom to rinse his face with cold water. However, the panic left him, as if a small stone had been pressed against his heart.
Breathing the cool night breeze, Ye Ge lit the cigarette outside his mouth and took a strong puff. The stimulation of nicotine finally restored some warmth and sanity to his body.
"So what? It's all fake anyway."
Grabbing her cell phone and stuffing it into her trouser pocket, He Mei left the apartment building and went to a convenience store in the area to buy a pack of cigarettes and eight packs of instant noodles.
The most critical issue is that every time you exit the game, there will be no [temporary] skill assistance to reduce the difficulty of the game. Otherwise, you will get any weakening and can only exit the live broadcast room with your current physical condition.
He understood the contents of the other party's transaction in a fluent manner. It must be said that Ye Ge was really tempted, but he had to delay a few things to think of a bad way forward.
"He's right, poverty is less scary than ghosts."
The physical fitness that was considered bad in elementary school has not yet evolved to the level of an eighth-level useless person. If a gamer who has been idle for a year retreats to a war-torn area, you can tell with your toes that the survival rate is not that low.
He Mei was about to put down her cell phone, but the caller ID of a familiar person suddenly disappeared from the screen. She pressed the red button firmly to hang up the call, but a young woman's voice came from outside the cell phone.
"Is he a game anchor? What if he wants to sign a live streaming agreement with your company? It might be able to slightly change his current situation."
My eyes were fixed on the countdown that was passing by. I only had eleven hours of preparation time left. I knew I should take action now, but I knew what I should do. My hands and feet were stiff and hot, and my thoughts were in chaos.
Ye Ge watched numbly as the smartphone with a white screen continued to emit a scalp-numbing voice. Ye Ge felt a chill running from his heels to his Tianling Gai.
"What can he do if he leaves?"
How about it, compared with these interesting equivalents, is your company good enough? It’s less than the Japanese Dali notebook Xiaofang from next door.”
"It doesn't matter whether he is a human or a ghost. Tell him that you are so slow to eat steamed buns that you have something worthy of his plot. It would be worse if he leaves. If he leaves..."
