Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 1242



Chapter 1242: Chapter 1124: Against-the-heavens Media, Invisible Monster_1 Chapter 1242: Chapter 1124: Against-the-heavens Media, Invisible Monster_1 In the midst of chaos happening at every corner of the farm, Victoria felt like the whole world was against her.

Victoria even saw one monster temporarily stunned, its head looking in all directions towards every sound.

The cacophony of what seemed like “dinner bells” ringing from all eight sides, causing it some confusion and hesitation.

However, it didn’t take long for Victoria to lose interest in these matters.

—She and Queenie were also being attacked, the monster charged at them at high speed.

They found it challenging to remain silent against the monster because where they stood was ablaze, forcing them to move immediately.

They could only follow the path of White Sand in silence.

When the monsters lost patience and turned to hunt others, Victoria noticed the vast cornfield, the most extensive part of the farm, was on fire.

“This definitely wasn’t the work of Daxia,” Victoria involuntarily mused.

Even those Daxia who have never farmed wouldn’t burn crops without reason.

Violent fires and thick smoke proclaimed the situation of this competition was entirely out of control.

The thrilling silence Victoria anticipated was nowhere to be seen.

Just the mere existence of “traitors” ruined everyone’s trust.

Disputes occurring at key points (gunshots) caused the situation to plummet drastically.

Coupled with a fire that destroyed everything, it was safe to say: Game Over.

A full hour?

It didn’t even use up 20 minutes!

After the game ended, Victoria was filled with depression.

“Such a poor gaming experience!!”

“How did these people pass the first chapter??”

Victoria was puzzled.

She didn’t believe the whole field would be traitors.

Hence, it’s highly possible that some normal players, overly heated, neglected the hunting threats from the monsters and competed for weapons, fought each other and ended up destabilising the situation completely.

However, the viewers in the live-streaming room expressed their regret:

“We didn’t anticipate the day when Victoria would become an expert.”

“It seems that the host hasn’t realized that passing the first chapter doesn’t require the whole family to survive.”

“I’ve seen several hosts who solely relied on clinging to NPC to pass the game.

Their gaming route was inactive and disruptive.

There are only one or two amongst ten who, like Victoria and Queenie, grasp the logic ahead of time and take proactive retaliation.”

“By that logic, Miss Queenie is also powerful.”

“Definitely more capable than Yi, who delusionally tried to attack the monster’s weak points and got hit instead.”

“Let’s not mention that psycho…”

After the explanation by viewers, Victoria finally realized that the outcome she and Queenie played out was not the most common one.

The most usual scenario was the father sacrificing himself to let the two children escape.

In the end, in the surveillance basement, the mother killed the monster, who exposed its weakness due to the hearing aid, by a gunshot.

There were more unfortunate players who ended up with an outcome where almost the entire family died, leaving only themselves and the baby alive.

She and Queenie managed to achieve the perfect ending without dying even once!

Victoria’s mood brightened up instantly and she quickly signed off to go to sleep while feeling good.

—If she played another round of survival mode, she might lose this good mood.

The next morning, Victoria laid in bed, hesitating whether she should check the forums and peep into the fan group.

These were basically her daily affairs in the past.

After all, she was a professional game streamer!

But now, “A Quiet Place” had only been online for two days.

If she continues doing so, there’s a high chance she’ll get spoilt.

Once spoiled, it will affect her gaming experience and might even impact the effect of her live stream.

However, the habit of checking her mobile phone after waking up isn’t something that can be changed just by saying so.

After some hesitation, Victoria decided to compromise — she’ll check updates from various gaming media.

At this time, the posts from gaming media would typically focus on gaming experience, playing methods, and player activities.

They won’t spoil specific content, and even if they do, they will give a heads-up.

With this, Victoria persuaded herself and happily took out her phone.

[Game Frontline]:

“‘A Quiet Place,’ Seven Chapters, Seven Stories, Seven Monsters, Seven trepidating Experiences!”

[Player Tribe]:

[Cloud Dream demonstrates a new possibility within “A Quiet Place” – Minimal intervention, maximum freedom!]

[Gaming Universe]:

[The strongest age reversal algorithm to date!

Bringing people back to their childhood!]

[9gamers]:

[Couples and spouses return to their childhood in the game, displaying overly intimate behaviour.

Is this a regular expression of marital play or a vulgar and inappropriate direction?]

“???”

Victoria was utterly perplexed by the fourth headline, a series of question marks immediately popping into her mind.

What does it mean?

If couples who have signed the [Lover’s Contract] turn back into children in “A Quiet Place”, then….are they acting flirtatiously with each other????

That can’t be right????

Though it’s true that the [Lover’s Contract] greatly relaxes the extent of contact allowed between couples – whilst you can’t go too far in non-private spaces, many intimate acts are permissible if no outsiders are present.

But in the two-person co-op in the first chapter of “A Quiet Place”, the smallest player turns into a child of no more than 10!

Victoria’s worldview was greatly challenged.

However, a voice inside her was telling her it wasn’t entirely impossible.

The virtual world has billions of users all over the globe, and all sort of people could surely exist.

And…even if some couples or spouses really did this, they certainly wouldn’t divulge this…

“private fun” to outsiders.

So how could [9gamers] know about it?

Could it be…

No, there’s no need for that!

The editor who wrote this piece must have thought about doing it, or has even done something like it!!

“Nice going, calling out the thief while you’re the robber, huh!?”

“Let’s see which media outlet this is?”

Victoria clicked on the media outlet’s homepage to check their detailed information.

Then, she found a key piece of information-

“Hmm… an Izumo media outlet…”

All of sudden, everything seemed to make sense…

However, even if it was reasonable, it was still a bit…

chilling.

“Eek~~~~”

Victoria shivered as she quickly put her mobile phone aside, changing her clothes to get out of bed.

At this point, gamers who have spent the night playing are either struggling in the second chapter, or they have successfully unlocked the third chapter.

But this is about as far as they could get.

– If they don’t log off now, the anti-addiction system will force them offline.

Information about the second chapter has also started to appear on forums.

The monster that appears in the second chapter “Not to Be Stared At” is even worse than the sound-hunting monster – humans will lose their mind and kill themselves at the sight of this monster.

So, the main storyline is to have everyone blindfold their eyes, get through the disaster-ridden monster active area, and live in a safer place.

It sounds simple, but it’s a bit complicated to play.

Because it’s tough for players to truly blindfold themselves during the entire game.

Even though the development team has meticulously set a variety of landmark objects as guidance, and also provided players with a superpower-like perception ability – [Extrasensory Vision].

Humans nearby would appear as hazy white mist, and an about-to-be-collided obstacle would also generate a black outline.

Even so, most players couldn’t help but lift up their blindfolds to sneak a peek at their surroundings before quickly pulling it back down.

What’s more, the development team is quite cunning.

They often leave a “blank” path before bringing in the stimulating scene to intrigue players into lifting their blindfolds.

The grand spectacle of a [hundred-man mass waterfall suicide] suddenly appeared, leaving a deep shock to the player’s tender heart.

Incidentally, it also blew up all short video platforms.
