Chapter 1: Siren Town

Bai Liu woke up, he found himself sitting in the backseat of a car, the interior of the car narrow narrow, worn seat backs flooded with realistic smell of smoke, the windows slid down the non-stranded water flow, can be seen from the glass vaguely outside the window fine rain pattering, the sky is dim, can not tell whether it is twilight or night, his nostrils are still lingering in a trace of a faint, uncomfortable salty fish smell.

There was a hovering panel in front of him that read - [Game Notes].

Bai Liu frowned.

Where is this? Why is he here? And what is this panel?

This panel seemed to be able to sense the doubts in his mind and revealed the answers on it in turn.

[You're in a deadly game, and the reason you're here is because we've detected an outburst of intense desire for money after you lost your job, which triggered the opening of the game]

As the words on the panel appeared one by one, Bai Liu finally recalled something.

Yeah, that's right. He's unemployed.

And he is a person with a strong desire for money, he grew up loving money to the point of abnormality, and was even diagnosed by a psychiatrist as a patient with [Money Hoarding Disorder], and the doctor warned him that if he didn't control his desire for money again, sooner or later, he would do something that he would not want to lose his life for the sake of money.

When he had a job, Bai Liu had a certain amount of fixed income every month and could barely restrain his desire for money, but when he lost the job, Bai Liu fell into a kind of uncontrollable, and even wanted to go out of his way to hoard money in the eagerness. His psychiatrist says that this is a normal psychological state for a laid-off social animal, and tells him to calm himself down and go out to see the world to relax.

Bai Liu heard just want to sneer, no money, go out can only see hell can not see the world okay.

Bai Liu satirizes psychiatrists: "Will I be rich after I go out and see the world?"

The psychiatrist marveled, "Of course not, you'll be poorer."

Bai Liu : "...... "Don't you fucking know what's going to happen?

"But after you become poorer, you'll realize ......" psychiatrist reassures Bai Liu, "that being poor is nothing more than that, money is all outside of your body, so why toss yourself into such agony? "

Bai Liu questioned the psychiatrist with an expressionless face, "Is it painful to meet a patient like me?"

Psychiatrist: "......" pain.

Bai Liu smiled, "What are you tossing yourself into so much pain for? Why don't you quit your job and go for a walk?"

Psychiatrist: "......" for money, no money to go out and walk.

Woof cried out.

After crying to who knows how many psychiatrists, Bai Liu clapped his hands and sighed that poverty is really the best weapon to attack human beings.

It's about hurting 800 people and hurting yourself a thousand.

Luckily this psychiatrist is free in the community, or Bai Liu would be even poorer.

--------

After Bai Liu lost his job, he fell into a kind of extreme anxiety, and could not regulate it at all, dreaming of his overnight wealth, sitting in the pile of money and laughing with joy. When he wakes up, the huge gap between dream and reality often makes him feel even more frustrated, because his savings are only five figures.

In the midst of this unquenchable layoff anxiety and ego clash, Bai Liu rests his cheeks and dreams - if only there existed a way to make money at high risk in this world, he could do without the life, but he wants the money!

He told his friend what he was thinking, and his friend relieved him by saying, "See that copy of Criminal Law on your bookshelf on the wall?

Bai Liu said he saw it.

My friend said, "You can just turn the page and find an entry, and on it is the high-risk, money-making job where you work hard and try to get on this month's expedited list.

Bai Liu: "......"

Bai Liu do not want to break the law, this world does not exist without breaking the law to get money fast way? My friend said, you can dream faster.

Even if he is playing with his life, he still wants the money- Bai Liu lying on his bed dreaming, losing his consciousness to be caught up in this game at the last moment, is thinking so.

Memories over, Bai Liu looked at the game panel hovering in front of him.

Another line appeared on the panel: [Yes, it was your strong desire that started the game, and if you succeed in getting through the game, you will get everything you want]

Bai Liu didn't hesitate: "I want money."

Who cares about the game, he just wants to get money.

After a while, Bai Liu asked again, "This game of yours, it's legal, right?"

Panel: [...... legal]

Panel: [Passing the game you will earn points which can be exchanged for money and anything you want]

Bai Liu : "What kind of game is this? What do I have to do to pass the level to get the points you mentioned?"

Panel: [This is a horror escape game, which is full of ghosts, monsters, murderous demons, incredible things, and all you have to do is to find out their weaknesses, complete the plot of passing the entire copy of the game, and survive from their hands successfully]

[Game copy loading ...... loaded]

[Name of the game: "Siren Town"]

[Level: Level 1 (games with less than 50 percent player mortality rate are Level 1 games)]

[Mode: Single Player Mode]

[General note: This is an exciting combination of action oriented and puzzle oriented game, which is a big hit among gamers, but doesn't seem to be very newcomer friendly, with a very high newcomer mortality rate]

[Player information loading ...... Loading complete--]

[Player Name: Bai Liu]

【Life Value: 100 (After the life value falls below sixty, the player's attack power decreases, and the player dies after zeroing out)】)

[Stamina: 80 (full of stamina)]

[Agility: 25 (you've been sitting at a desk for years, your whole body is stiff and not very agile)]

[Attack: 30 (only the attack ability of a girl high school student hitting someone with a school bag)]

There is a small red line of notes below the spirit value.

(Note: Please ensure that the player's mental value is higher than 60; a mental value of less than 60 will cause the player to become mentally deranged and halve the attributes of each character's panel; less than 40 will cause the player to see hallucinatory content that doesn't belong to the game, making it more difficult to pass; less than 20 will inspire the player's state of insanity, randomly spiking the attributes of attack panels and killing all kinds of creatures; a mental value of 0 will result in the player's assimilation into the replica and becoming one of the monsters). (A member of the monster)

[Comprehensive evaluation of player panel attributes - F class player, the lowest class player, but due to the special determination of spirit value and intelligence value, this rating is doubtful, and the final player grade is recorded as - F(?)]

Bai Liu, after scanning the entire character panel, looks at the question mark after that F and feels like he's being inconspicuously mocked as he scratches the character panel and a new one pops up on the screen.

You have landed on a small TV screen in the Newcomer's Zone (1/100), no one has stopped by for you, player Bai Liu has 0 popularity and 0 kryptonite.

Bai Liu frowns, "What's this?"

Panel: [Your gameplay will appear on a small screen in the newcomer area of the player lobby for other players to watch, but no one is currently watching your gameplay, and no one your gameplay kryptonite, you are currently silent]

Bai Liu kind of gets it, it's a game anchor kind of format, but that doesn't matter, his focus is on that kryptonite rate, "Someone kryptonizes for me, and I get points for that right?"

Panel: [Yes]

[Next game begins. Good luck, new player.]

The panel was like a TV screen that had been turned off, flashing into a white light in front of Bai Liu's eyes and disappearing.

And in one of the game halls, a small screen suddenly lit up, showing Bai Liu's clear, white~faced face. This small screen was surrounded by many other similar screens, which displayed the terrified and broken faces of various new players, some people were shrinking like hedgehogs and hugging their heads, refusing to accept reality, while others were howling and hitting the screen non-stop, wanting to come out from it.

And only Bai Liu, without a trace of shock, was a complete anomaly in a crowd of panicked newcomers to the game.

Everyone tilted their heads at the suddenly lit screen and discussed it with interest.

"There's another new guy coming in, I don't know how long it'll last."

"Look at the background, it's a copy of the game "Siren Town"?"

"This batch of newcomers are really unlucky, the mortality rate of new players in Siren Town is very high, didn't we land a hundred last time and end up with just one left?"

"The random copies of the game given to newcomers lately are too hard, but it's still pretty funny to see these newcomers scared shitless!"

"Wait!" Suddenly, a passing player approached the screen where Bai Liu was as if he had discovered something extraordinary, he looked at Bai Liu's character panel attributes and spoke incredulously, "There's a new player with one hundred Spirit Value logged in here!"

"What?!"

"Get out of the way I want to see it too!"

"Shit! Are all the newcomers so perverted now? Spirit value of one hundred?!"

"The last one who landed with a spirit value of one hundred is now in the top ten of the total game scoreboard, right?"

"Seeds of potential, ah! Let me conk out too!"

Bai Liu's small screen flickered and a mechanical voice reported flatly:

[Fifty people crowded around player Bai Liu's TV screen, player Bai Liu has achieved the First Time Achievement and unlocked the One Click Trifecta System.]

Player Bai Liu's video has been liked by 28 people, Player Bai Liu's TV has been favorited by 56 people, and no one has recharged Player Bai Liu's battery, so please keep up the good work.
