Chapter 44: Game

...

[There might be other missions too]

[But other missions aside from the fixed monthly, weekly, and daily missions are rare]

[Just treat the world as a game and you will be fine]

[Right, right]

[You’re a player and everyone else around is an NPC]

[If you think it’s hard to participate in the Live Stream Horror Survival Game, just treat everyone as NPC in a very realistic holographic game. Otherwise, you might not be able to accept killing people]

[Above, you’re too soft hearted]

[Right.]

[From the moment they agreed to participate in the Live Stream Horror Survival Game, they should know that this is not exactly a kind game]

[It’s the kind of game that will make many people feel despair from the bottom of their hearts]

[Heh. Despair? I think that you’re just bluffing]

[How could it be despair when these people are simply doing whatever they want to do?]

[Madmen and people who couldn’t conform to the universally accepted values will definitely thrive in this chaotic and evil world]

...

...Chaotic and evil world?

Huo Yingsu sighed.

While the viewers were not necessarily correct, but she had to admit that there were many things that couldn’t be said after coming to the Live Stream Horror Survival Game.

Some people could stay calm or perhaps excited when they saw the chaos and their struggle for survival.

Some others would instead feel fear and despair from the bottom of their heart.

As for herself?

Huo Yingsu was not entirely sure.

Perhaps because she had been mentally prepared for the cruel rules of the Live Stream Horror Survival Game that she was able to adapt to the game quickly.

Of course, Huo Yingsu decisive action was mainly because she knew that if she didn’t take action, she would die.

She didn’t want to die.

But no matter what, Huo Yingsu was still an ordinary person before everything happened. If she wanted to survive, she would have to work hard to increase her own strength and so on.

...Increasing strength is one thing.

But practicing in the Live Stream Horror Survival Game’s dungeon world is definitely a big no.

The game would not transport their training result back and only their body’s state and injuries.

So it’s impossible for Huo Yingsu to train her strength here.

It would be a waste of time.

She better use her time to practice other skills that she couldn’t really practice back in the real world easily.

This lock picking was one of them.

Click.

Huo Yingsu’s eyes lit up when she saw that she finally managed to successfully unlocked the chain.

She did it!

Even though she had wasted hundreds of hairpins, but she finally did it.

"Hahahaha!" Huo Yingsu laughed.

After practicing for such a long time, Huo Yingsu felt as if she was seeing the ray of light in this dark world.

This meant that her effort was not for naught.

Thinking about this made Huo Yingsu’s smile even warmer.

She might be able to survive.

Even if the chance was only increased by 1%, it’s still an increase.

Who knows what kind of settings would fall on that Huo Yingsu after her miserable defeat under the hand of the protagonists?

After all, she was just a villainess in the otome game.

Tsk.

Thinking about it this way was quite upsetting.

...

[What? She really succeeded?]

[I thought that it’s absolutely impossible for the fragile hairpin to be used to unlock that chain, but it seems that I was wrong]

[Tsk, tsk, tsk. Why does it seem that Huo Yingsu is smarter than I thought]

[Oh, she hadn’t stopped and still continue to train herself. Good girl, you must know that the first time is just a coincidence, right?]

[She might want to practice until she was proficient in it. Seriously, I feel that I’m witnessing the growth of a criminal from the very beginning]

[Pfft]

[With the world in chaos, does it really matter whether she’s a criminal or not? Many people would still take actions and take advantage of the chaos to get more benefit for themselves.]

[tsk, there’s only one rule in the Live Stream Horror Survival Game: survive]

...

Huo Yingsu smiled slightly, watching the barrage while chatting and asking about some other things.

While the answer was often contradictory, the viewers were still wiling to entertain her.

Were they bored?

Huo Yingsu was not entirely sure.

But at the very least, she was comforted to have ’strangers’ chatting with her and just make things lively.

Otherwise, the atmosphere was indeed too gloomy.

By night time, Huo Yingsu was already proficient enough in lock picking to do it successfully without breaking the hairpin.

She’s satisfied.

Cleaning up everything, Huo Yingsu was planning to get some rest when there was the sound of door knocking from the front.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Please open the door, the company is delivering supplies."
