PFRG: Chapter 98

“It doesn’t matter. Let’s go. We’ll look at the rest then.”

Chi Ting didn’t care about anything bad that might happen next. “It is already stated in the initial rules that all fighting and scrambling in the Starry Sky Arcade is prohibited. Once discovered, they will be severely punished. In the worst-case scenario, open robbery isn’t allowed.”

After thinking for a while, he added, “Even if they want to rob us, I guess no one can rob us.”

The last sentence was the truth. Yue Ren couldn’t help laughing when he heard it. Then they walked together towards the immersive shooting experience hall.

There was a large plaque at the entrance of the experience hall. Like the previous claw machine area, it clearly listed the precautions required for this game.

[Immersive Shooting Experience Hall Game Notice]

[Welcome to the immersive shooting experience hall where you can enjoy a unique shooting feast! To ensure your absolute safety during the game, please read and abide by the following rules carefully:

1. Children under 1.2 meters aren’t allowed to enter. Children under 15 years old must be accompanied by a guardian.

There are scary scenes in the game hall. People with heart disease, high blood pressure, cerebral thrombosis, mental illness, pregnant women, the elderly, alcoholics or those in poor physical condition aren’t allowed to enter.

1. Only one game is allowed at a time. Before the previous round of players finishes, subsequent players have to wait patiently at the door.

2. In order to have a better gaming experience, please don’t take off your gaming device once you enter the game scene.

3. Each game must ensure that the number of participants is greater than six and no more than eight. If there are more than eight people, they must enter in batches.

4. The venue is dark. Please take good care of your belongings and your companions to prevent them from being lost.

5. There are a total of 16 zones in the game hall. If you feel unwell due to horror or other problems, you can press the emergency button in the corner at any time, and a staff member will come to take you out. But please note that before pressing the emergency button, please make sure that the number of zones you have cleared is an odd number rather than an even number.

6. To ensure an absolutely realistic shooting experience, our experience hall uses the most advanced holographic simulation technology. But please note that it is strictly forbidden to shoot fellow players during the game.

7. Please make sure that you have cleared the zone before entering the next zone. Once you leave the experience center, the more zones you have cleared and the more kills you have, the more generous the game rewards you will receive.

8. During the game, please pay attention to the warm reminders given by the staff at any time.

9. Pay attention to the length of the game. Please don’t stay in the experience hall for more than one hour. If you are too immersed in the game and can’t distinguish between the game and reality, the experience hall won’t be responsible.

10. During the game, please pay attention to your teammates. Please pay attention to your teammates. Please pay attention to your teammates.]

The string of rule introductions, as dense as the operating instructions for the claw machine, were seen by the audience in the live stream room through the camera and made them feel scared.

[Is this called an immersive shooting experience hall? Children aren’t allowed to enter, and high-energy warnings are repeatedly given. It is completely a disguised haunted house!]

[Do they really want to choose this game project? It looks like a big deal.]

[In contrast, the instructions for using the claw machines seem to be quite clear and presentable. However, the claw machines without any high-energy warnings at the beginning ended up like that. I can’t imagine what this project is like!]

[What does the last one mean? Important things should be repeated three times?]

[D*mn, I already have goosebumps before it even starts.]

Chi Ting naturally noticed the last item in the game instructions and had a very subtle feeling.

In particular, combine this with the eighth tip in the instructions—so what type of situation would make a player want to shoot at other players?

“Why do I feel like this isn’t just a simple shooting game?” Ji Xingque also finished reading all the rules. The radar in his mind was working and making him keenly aware of the possible problems behind it. “There are so many calculations involved in just shooting a gun. This setting feels like…”

Yue Ren continued calmly, “It doesn’t just feel like it. There is no doubt that there is a mental attack that can lead to the inability to distinguish between the game and reality.’

The slightly rising tone at the end of the sentence made Chi Ting involuntarily look back. “…Please control your sudden excitement.”

Yue Ren innocently asked, “Do I have it?”

Chi Ting was noncommittal. “You know best whether you are or not.”

Yue Ren blinked slowly. “Okay, I’ll control it a bit but…”

He paused slightly, his eyes sweeping across Chi Ting’s lips intentionally or unintentionally. “If it really comes to that point, it is still possible, right?”

Ji Xingque was confused. “What is possible?”

Chi Ting turned back silently under the two gazes and looked at Song Xuefeng. “Old Song, I think this project will require your attention when the time comes.

Song Xuefeng sighed helplessly. “…I got it.”

Chi Ting ignored the face that showed he didn’t want to go to work, and walked straight into the experience hall.

According to the rules, this project required at least six participants. Currently, there were four people in their team. If they wanted to start this game, they might have to see if there were other players interested in forming a team together.

What surprised Chi Ting was that when they walked through the door of the experience hall, they found there were already three people waiting here.

It was the solo player who recognized the Jazz team at the door, and the twins who teamed up with him.

Noticing the footsteps, the three people looked over.

They had obviously received the system notification just now. There was something subtle in their expressions when they looked at Chi Ting’s group.

It could be seen that the solo player had gained the absolute trust of the team. After a brief silence, he took the lead in saying, “Hello, my name is Hang Jing.”

He reached out his hand directly to Chi Ting, obviously locking onto the leadership relationship of this team at first glance.

Chi Ting also reached out to shake his hand. “Chi Ting.”

Hang Jing glanced sideways, his gaze sweeping over the people behind Chi Ting. He asked with a smile, “The Dawn team?”

As the first team to receive the system notification after the launch of the instance, they were destined to be in the limelight.

Therefore, Chi Ting might not know how the player called Hang Jing made such accurate inferences, but he had no intention of covering it up. He nodded. “Yes, it is us.”

“That’s great. You won nearly 20,000 game coins in the claw machine area.” He might’ve said this, but Hang Jing’s smiling face didn’t really make people feel it was friendly. It seemed he just wanted to understand the identity of the visitors. After passing over this topic, he got back to the point. “How about it? Do you want to team up together?”

He pointed to the staff standing at the entrance of the experience hall behind him. “This project requires over six people to participate. The three of us have been waiting here for a long time. Now if the four of you are added, the number of people will be just right.”

Yue Ren watched the entire discussion with a smile on his face and sneered at the right time.

Hang Jing looked polite but he probably wouldn’t have made the invitation in such a straightforward manner if Chi Ting hadn’t admitted they were the Dawn team just now.

The most feared thing in a team project was bad teammates. This guy obviously made the decision to hug their thigh after seeing that they had already earned a lot of game coins.

No matter whether it was the initial choice of the twins who had some strength but were small in number, or the olive branch of teaming up with them at this time, the player called Hang Jing’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances was one of the most accomplished among anyone he had met.

Chi Ting heard Yue Ren’s sneer and instantly understood the endless mockery happening in this person’s mind.

He didn’t mind this type of mutually beneficial approach. He secretly pulled the corner of Yue Ren’s clothes to make him calm down a bit, and accepted Hang Jing’s proposal. “Of course, that is what I was thinking too.”

The composition of the seven people perfectly met the conditions for launching the project.

The staff member standing at the door in the doll costume finally stopped blocking them. Instead of being cold, he showed great enthusiasm. “Welcome everyone to the immersive shooting experience hall. The experience price is 99 coins per person. Are you sure you want to participate in this project?”

It actually cost 99 game coins?

The three players exchanged looks, clearly feeling the pain of paying such a high fee.

But usually, such high fees corresponded to extremely high game rewards. Now that it had come to this, everyone gritted their teeth and nodded.

On the other hand, Chi Ting had just received a large sum of game coins and had plenty of money on hand. He even asked if he could pay for others. It was only after receiving a negative answer that he regretfully swiped his own fee.

The rest of the people also swiped their cards.

Among them, Yue Ren and Song Xuefeng had some gains in the claw machine area. In comparison, Ji Xingque only spent money but didn’t gain anything. He was undoubtedly the one with the most financial difficulties among them.

But he wanted to rely on this game project to make a comeback, so he paid without frowning at all.

After confirming that everyone had paid, a very strange smile appeared on the staff member’s doll headgear and made a gesture of invitation. “Are you ready? If you have no other questions, you can go in! Just wear the game equipment and stand in the corresponding position! I hope to bring you a unique and wonderful experience. I wish you all a happy game!”

Hang Jing was originally standing in the front, but it was obvious that he didn’t want to be the first to go in.

Just as he was about to take a moment to tie his shoelaces, Chi Ting had already taken a step and walked in first.

The rest of the Dawn team followed closely behind him.

In the blink of an eye, the surroundings had become empty again. Hang Jing, who had just bent halfway, stopped and was stunned for a moment. Then with a look of joy, he signaled for the twins beside him to follow him in.

It seemed that he really didn’t make a mistake this time. The people of the Dawn team, especially the captain, were simply an iron tank! This thigh was really the right one!

Once the seven people walked in, the door behind them suddenly closed.

In the darkness, there was only a faint light flickering not far ahead. After walking over, they could find seven sets of equipment neatly stacked there. They looked like very ordinary gaming experience equipment.

Chi Ting took the game gun in his hand and gently weighed it.

It looked very realistic, but it was indeed a fake gun. In addition, the gun couldn’t be loaded with any bullets and couldn’t hurt anyone at all.

However, Rule 8 of the entrance instructions clearly stated that it was strictly forbidden to shoot at fellow players.

He lowered his eyes thoughtfully. Then he put on the gaming equipment one by one according to the instructions on the wall.

The moment when the last helmet was put on, Chi Ting felt a strong sense of dizziness in his mind. Then a cold and calm system voice rang in his ears.

[Welcome to the Escape from Ancud project—

You are a prisoner in Ancud Prison. You were framed and sentenced to life imprisonment. After arriving here, you soon discovered that the serious criminals around you almost all had the same experience. The prison life was extremely exhausting, but you never gave up the plan to escape from here. Finally, one day, a group of monsters attacked the island, and Ancud Prison became an unsupervised hell. This also became the best opportunity for you to escape from here…

Try your best to survive in this dangerous prison, eliminate all stumbling blocks on the road, and regain your free life!]

The moment the system sound ended, the hazy vision around him gradually recovered.

Chi Ting could see that the scene in front of him had completely switched to another one.

This was indeed a cold and gloomy prison.

All the players stood there with guns in their hands like him.

Not far away, there was a prison door that had been opened by someone unknown.

The mottled rust shook with a harsh creaking sound. The connecting passages led to the depths of the unknown darkness.

As just mentioned, what they needed to do now was to escape from here.
