The Complete Guide to Rearing an Alien Boyfriend - Chapter 189

Chapter 189 Attention Ahead, the Werewolf Is Coming

Long Xi glared at her and said scornfully, “You’re just a person who likes to bully others. Would you dare have a one-on-one competition with me?”

Qiuzi laughed and said, “Is this a radical method? Well, our company just launched a new game. It’s a real-life version of Werewolf Kill that tests the players’ wisdom and ability!”

Long Xi said, “Your company? It’s Brother Kun’s company. You have no shares! Well, let me compete with you in the game world then! Let’s see whose wisdom and ability are better! How will we judge who wins and who loses? How about the one who dies first will be the loser?”

Qiuzi nodded and sneered. She went to Mo Kun’s study and took out two headphone-like consciousness transmitters of Werewolf Kill that were in the safe. She also made a call. Then, she came back and asked Long Xi to wear one of them.

Brother Kun used to tell Long Xi that his company had developed a real-life “Robot World” game that could convey the player’s consciousness to the game scene. It was terrifying.

Later, because Long Xi had liked to play Werewolf Kill, she had introduced it to Mo Kun. Mo Kun had also gotten addicted to it. As a technical controller, he always liked to analyze the process: Why was this game of deception, sophistry, and manipulation so popular all over the world? Why did both ordinary people and elites like to play it without any limitations?

After some contemplation, he had concluded that Werewolf Kill was a game of fraud and power. Smarter people liked this game more, especially people with high reasoning and logical abilities.

In essence, a fundamental problem was that there were just two Werewolves in this game, which was definitely a minority. Their biggest advantage was knowing each other’s identity. On this basis, they divided all the players into “the minority with power” and “the innocent majority”.

From an ordinary person’s point of view, one’s eyesight, a simple doubt, or words like “voting this player to see whether he is a Werewolf” would decide one’s life and death. By voting on the basis of the majority, what would one feel when the desire of manipulation was greatly satisfied? It was fantastic!

Werewolf Kill endowed the players with different identities with different rights. Based on all these conditions, a small-scale war started.

Werewolf Kill was easy to learn, and one could discover many tricks after playing it many times. New players had their exciting points, while experienced players also had theirs!

This was why it was prevailing.

After figuring out the whole process, Mo Kun had come up with the idea of developing a real-life version of Werewolf Kill.

He had asked his talent team to compile a detailed proposal and confirmed this program. He had also assigned all the top-level scientific researchers and programmers to develop the real-life version of Werewolf Kill.

Then, it had been Lord Mo Kun’s turn to introduce this game to Long Xi. He had hoped that Long Xi would be the test player in the experimental stage of the game.

During that time, she would often hear Lord Mo Kun mention this game in development.

“This game has several great features that other games do not have.” Mo Kun would enter chattering mode from time to time.

“In addition to its ability to convey your consciousness to the game, what are its other characteristics?” Long Xi usually tilted her cute little head in a coordinated manner and asked questions with a curious expression.

Mo Kun would then say, “This game is exceptionally delicate when it comes to scene making, which means that the player can be immersed. Each character, background, and prop is vivid, and you can also upload your photo into the game. Three minutes later, the painter of the game will create a character image based on your photo. One more feature of this game is that it has 28 identities, including the Prophet, the Werewolf, and the Thief. Players are not free to choose the identities. Instead, they contend to get one like grabbing red envelopes.”

Long Xi had deliberately teased him upon seeing his anticipation and said, “I don’t think that’s a big deal. I still think the Robot World you launched before is more attractive.”

Mo Kun had tried to persuade her for a while but had not succeeded. In the end, he had been forced to play his A card.

“Do you know which superstar I plan to invite to endorse Werewolf Kill?” he had asked mysteriously.

Long Xi had said disapprovingly, “Who?”

“Brother Sanshi!” Mo Kun had said.

“Really? You mean Wu Lei, who used to be a child star with good acting skills and high emotional intelligence? I should play this game!” Long Xi had immediately given in!

“Well, before the game is officially launched, I hope I’ll be the test player, the first player to play this game!” Long Xi had said inevitably.

Mo Kun had held her in his arms and smiled triumphantly!

However, before the test version had been designed, Mo Kun had been in an accident…

The old days were somewhat hard to recall! Comparing them to the present would make one feel weak!

Before Brother Kun had lost his memory, the game had still been at the experimental stage. She had not expected that it would be launched and enter the market!

Qiuzi took her cell phone out of her pocket and said, “Have you ever played this game before? You should create an account first. How about using “I’m a worm” as your username? I think you’re just a poor, vicious worm!”

Long Xi said arrogantly, “I don’t mind. Am I a worm or a dragon? You will see!”

Qiuzi snorted and helped Long Xi register, passing her phone to Long Xi as she said, “Click the icon of Werewolf Kill.”

Long Xi, who did not care much, clicked the icon of the real-life version of Werewolf Kill as an indication.

Brother Sanshi’s image was on the icon.

A mysterious, weird smile was on Hu Lei’s face, but a sense of bewilderment and attraction was in his eyes. He stretched out his wolf claws, as though he was pouncing on the viewers.

When she clicked the icon, a dialogue box popped up immediately, saying, “Dear player, this game is really exciting and somehow dangerous. We suggest that people who suffer from a heart disease, hypertension, or similar problems do not participate in this game. Are you willing to take risks and take responsibility for yourself?”

Two options were presented on the dialogue box: yes and no.

Qiuzi said arrogantly, “You should choose one.”

Long Xi stretched out her finger and resolutely clicked yes.

Qiuzi took her phone back and snapped a photo for her to upload it onto the relative module of this game.

Three minutes later, Long Xi’s character image was created.

Qiuzi helped Long Xi choose a character and then clicked the start button.

“You are such an idiot!” Long Xi heard Qiuzi say as a black light flashed before her eyes and she lost her consciousness.

A second later, Long Xi found herself in a strange place. She was lying in a cottage.

She scratched her head and it hurt. This was not a dream!

It seemed that her consciousness had really been immersed in the game.

She leaned on the firewood to get up while looking around.

It was dark and a few scattered stars dotted the sky.

In the distance, a mountain was soaring amid the clouds, and a meandering stream was in the vicinity. More than 10 cottages were standing along the stream, all of them looking as shabby as though they were crumbling.

Was this an old small mountain village? It looked like the ancient villages that she saw on TV.

Where is Qiuzi’s consciousness?

How can I find her?

How can I compete with her with my reasoning skills?

“Ding-Dong!” The phone rang.

Long Xi looked down and realized that she was holding an Apple phone in her hand. She had been added into a WeChat group called “Death Red Packet”.

The image of the group leader was a picture of a cartoon teenager wearing a judge’s hat. It seemed to be Hu Lei.

“The real-life Werewolf Kill begins. Welcome, everyone. I am the judge in this round. You can call me Brother Sanshi or Hu Lei.” The judge sent over a voice message that might have been recorded by young actor Hu Lei.

At the same time, the image of the judge was shining.

Long Xi had played Werewolf Kill many times, but not a real-life version. The judge then added, “Now, I will distribute the identities through red envelopes. You can grab one. First, there will be 15 ordinary Villagers. An Ordinary Villager has no special functions, but they have the biggest numbers. This identity can kill the hidden werewolves through voting.”

A red envelope showed up on her phone. The word “Villager” was on it.

Her hands were shaking!

She did not know if she should grab it.

Villagers seemed to be the weakest.

Although they had strength in numbers and had the right to vote, they did not know who was a Werewolf and who was a good person. They could only follow other people’s instructions.

She hesitated for a while before she finally pressed her finger on the red envelope.

When the red envelope was opened, a line appeared. “Dear, you’re late. This identity has run out.”

She had hesitated for so long that this identity had been taken!

Then, another voice message was heard. “The second identity is the Prophet. This identity has a special skill that can test a player’s identity and see if they are good or not.”

Another red envelope showed up on her phone. The word “Prophet” was on it.

Long Xi clicked the red envelope without hesitation.

The red envelope was opened and a line appeared. “Dear, you’re the Prophet. Remember, you can’t tell anyone your identity.”

Long Xi smiled slightly. She liked being a Prophet the most!

The Prophet had a powerful skill. They could judge who was the werewolf and confirm their guess during the night.

However, more power meant more responsibility. Once the Prophet was exposed, the wolf would kill them first.

Long Xi suddenly had a question: Since this was the real-life game, would there be some more human players in this village?

Considering that this was a real-life game and her consciousness had entered this mysterious place as a player, the other players should be there.
