Chapter 1804: Chapter 1649: Game 1

What does it feel like to get killed by a car the moment you arrive? Sitting in an old, shabby classroom, Miao Shuangshuang felt like her bad luck had maxed out.

Miao Shuangshuang looked up. A strange red sign was floating in midair out of nowhere, three bright scarlet characters on it looking like they’d been written in fresh blood—First Day!

This was an unreasonable world. A bunch of people who’d died in accidents were dragged by some mysterious power from nowhere into a death game, forced to play round after round of life-and-death escape missions, earning bits of survival time by clearing them.

The unluckiest part was, Miao Shuangshuang’s body in this lifetime was super weak. Even after using up all the Main God Power to remodel it, she’d only become a bit nimbler and slightly stronger.

As for cultivating Mana and Spiritual Power that could deal with ghosts, using talismans to do exorcism and the like—there was basically no hope.

Which meant that in this lifetime, most of Miao Shuangshuang’s cheats were practically sealed away. She was only a little stronger than the fresh newbies in the room who were stumbling around, freaking out and making a racket.

In this life Miao Shuangshuang was just an ordinary, average girl. She died in a car accident, and after death she was dragged into an escape game.

In this game, veteran players and new players would run an escape mission together. If you survived one game, you’d get anywhere from a dozen to dozens of days of survival time.

But Miao Shuangshuang had been frail and sickly since childhood. On the very first day she entered the game, she died because her stamina gave out—caught and killed by a ghost while fleeing.

Miao Shuangshuang’s wish was extremely simple: she just wanted to live. Even in a terrifying horror game, she still wanted to stay alive.

Today was the first game Miao Shuangshuang was playing. The hint for this round was: inside a school, spend a ten-day study period, and you are required to obey the school rules.

There were ten people in the room right now: a young couple who clung to each other the moment they came in and hid in a corner, and two young men also hiding in a corner, who looked like twins—one taller, one shorter.

The personalities of these four seemed the same, all a bit overly cautious. Faced with an unfamiliar environment and bizarre events, they chose to hide in a corner and quietly observe.

There was a young boy in a high school uniform, a girl with lip studs, a nose stud, and a row of earrings, and a Non-mainstream man in a leather jacket with hair dyed all sorts of colors.

These three were the most worked up, pacing all over the room. The high schooler was gripping the classroom door handle, intent on getting out. Too bad the door just wouldn’t open, no matter how he kicked or yanked at it.

The Nail Girl was desperately smashing the windows, wanting to break them and escape. The panes looked thin and flimsy, yet no matter how hard Nail Girl hit them, they stayed perfectly sealed and motionless, showing no sign of breaking at all.

The Non-mainstream guy had started off running around with them, but once he saw the door wouldn’t open and the windows wouldn’t break, he got a bit hysterical and kept demanding of everyone in the room: "Who are you people? Did you grab me and bring me here?"

Miao Shuangshuang frowned. This guy was noisy. The game hint had already said this was a game world, and everyone brought here had previously died in accidents.

Now they were bouncing around alive in such a weird place—anyone thinking straight would realize they’d run into some unspeakable paranormal incident. The reason this Non-mainstream was making such a fuss was simply because he didn’t want to accept reality.

Miao Shuangshuang ignored the Non-mainstream and turned her head to size up the other two people in the room. The two were sitting on the podium, both wearing camouflage uniforms.

One had a buzz cut, the other a scar across his face. Buzzcut’s expression was cold; Scarface looked a bit irritable. The feeling they gave, sitting together, was completely different from everyone else.

The others looked harmless—just ordinary people. But these two carried a kind of hardened, battle-ready air. At a glance you could tell they weren’t normal folk.

Counting Miao Shuangshuang, there were ten people in the room, all players in the game. At this moment, aside from those two men in camouflage, Miao Shuangshuang was the one acting the calmest.

From the moment she woke up, Miao Shuangshuang had stayed composed, sitting at a desk and studying her surroundings, then sitting there with a thoughtful look on her face—not shouting, not panicking, not rushing about.

The other seven were either hiding off to the side looking calm on the surface but actually skittish and on edge, or else going crazy and making all sorts of noise. So the two men in camouflage gave Miao Shuangshuang a glance and figured she was probably an old player.

Scarface swept a look over everyone and spoke impatiently: "All of you, shut up. This is a game world. You’re all people who died in the real world. If you want to stay alive in this game world, then calm down."

The young couple and the twins immediately focused their attention when Scarface spoke. The high schooler had already given up on opening the door; he was slumped against it, looking completely lost.

Tao Shuangshuang silently turned her gaze to Scarface. The Nail Girl put down the stool she was using to smash the window and went to take over from the high schooler, kicking the door and yanking at the lock. Clearly she hadn’t given up on getting out. The Non-mainstream was still furiously yelling about who his dad was and telling them to let him go right now.

Scarface rubbed his forehead, headache written all over his face, then turned to continue explaining to the ones quietly watching him: "This is a game where you can really die. Don’t think I’m joking or trying to scare you.

You’ve already died in reality. If you die in this game too, then you’re truly, completely dead.

If you manage to survive until the game is cleared, you’ll get survive time based on how hard the game was—ten-odd days, dozens of days, even up to half a year.

With that survival time, you can go back to reality and keep living, until your time runs out and you’re pulled back into the game. Of course, you can also save up your survival time and use it all at once. That way you can live a long stretch at a go.

If you manage to save up enough survival time for dozens of years, you can live for dozens of years in real society. Then you won’t have to come back to the game world at all, because you’ve already stockpiled all the lifespan for this lifetime.

And clearing games doesn’t just earn you survival time; you’ll also get huge cash rewards from the game. From then on you’ll never be short of money. As long as you can leave the game, you’ll have more than enough money to spend however you like.

But pay attention: the death rate in this game is extremely high, especially for newbies like you. One careless move and you could die. So all of you need to remember the earlier game hint—do not break the game rules."

When he finished, Scarface looked at the still-squawking Non-mainstream and flashed a malicious grin. "Right now we’re still in the game’s protection period. It’s time for you newbies to adapt and get used to reality. Once the game officially starts in a bit, if you keep screaming and throwing a fit like this, you’ll be the first one to die."
