#333 - All players on the Internet are addicted to wandering. Wang Hanzhe confronts Xin Shenghe and
Wang Hanzhe's heart tightened, and he quickly rushed to the other side of the room.
Behind him came the roar and footsteps of the vagrants: "Bastard, stop right there!"
On the other side, there was a window covered in dust. Wang Hanzhe rushed to the window without hesitation and pushed it hard, but it was stuck and wouldn't budge.
The vagrants were getting closer and closer, like ferocious beasts about to pounce on their prey.
Wang Hanzhe was anxious, he tried his best, hitting the window hard with his shoulders and arms, the window creaked.
The game popped up a QTE(QTE: Quick Time Event) prompt:
【There are force bars on the left and right sides of the window, adjust the force of both hands until they are balanced】
"I'm familiar with this, brothers, watch my operation!"
Wang Hanzhe raised his left and right hands, constantly adjusting the force of his arms.
Finally, the window made a muffled sound and was completely pushed open. He jumped out of the window without hesitation and ran towards the factory's wall.
However!
The leader of Xinshenghe had already arrived at the gate in advance, blocking Wang Hanzhe's path.
In a moment of desperation, Wang Hanzhe picked up an old lighter next to him and kept the small flame close to the pillow in his hand.
He grinned at the leader:
"Sir, you wouldn't want your wife to..."
The other party's face turned pale: "Stop it, ahhhhh!"
Taking advantage of the other party's hesitation, Wang Hanzhe seized the opportunity, rushed to the wall.
Looking up, he found a protruding brick. He used the brick as a stepping stone, jumped hard, and grabbed the top of the wall with both hands.
The edge of the wall stung his palms.
【Health value deducted by 10 points】
But he couldn't care less, he climbed over the wall and fell onto the road outside.
The vagrants rushed out of the gate in anger. He turned around and ran, finally escaping temporarily.
Thebarrage screen was filled with comments:
"Good家伙(好家伙: Good fellow), I didn't dare to breathe just now."
" streamer is awesome, you can escape from this?"
"I see, I finally know why this game is called Running Away."
...
Back in the dormitory, Wang Fanqie cautiously poked his head out of the window and found that people from Xinshenghe had already found their way nearby.
"Brothers, Xinshenghe will come knocking sooner or later. It's time for us to use our carpentry skills to make some home defense tools."
The game popped up the third day's survival settlement.
Wang Hanzhe's survival score was 82 points, ranking 1431st globally.
He breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's worth it for me to stay up all day, the global ranking has finally risen slightly.
It is estimated that we will have a fight with Xinshenghe soon. If we can't defend our shelter, this save will probably be ruined. Therefore, tomorrow's live broadcast is destined to be very exciting, welcome everyone to come and support!"
After the live broadcast that day, many players who had played the game came to the game page of Taoyuan Huanjie(桃源幻界: name of a platform) and wrote game reviews:
"I have been playing continuously for 3 days, and I can't stop at all!"
"This game is too real! I also played to be chased by the Beggar Gang in the same city, which made my heart beat faster, just like being there!"
"Ah, indeed, there are more than a dozen Beggar Gangs in the city where I was born. The gang fights are like a Yakuza movie, and this save makes me excited!"
"I'm different. I'm addicted to building a super comfortable shelter in the game. Every time I go back to beg for food, I feel like I've returned home."
"I'm also addicted to picking up trash, and I feel good for a long time every time I find something worth more than 5 yuan, hahaha."
With the reversal of the game's reputation, the game's sales rose against the trend.
On the Taoyuan Huanjie(桃源幻界: name of a platform) platform and various offline physical stores, many players began to queue up to buy "Running Away Simulator", and even the counters in some cities were sold out.
The game's first-day sales were only 30,000, the second-day sales were 880,000, and by the end of the third day, the sales had reached 1.6 million!
Some players began to show their game photos on social platforms, including unique vagrant styles and shelter arrangements.
Some UP(UP: uploader) masters began to post videos, imitating the survival skills in the game in real life, conducting field explorations, such as performing wild survival skills, exploring abandoned buildings, etc.
In the first weekend after the game was released, players in many cities held offline gatherings of "Running Away Simulator", watching game live broadcasts together, sharing game experiences, and exchanging the wild vagrant equipment they bought.
The surge in game popularity has also made many strategies and secondary creation videos popular:
"【Running Away Simulator】Real-life Challenge: Surviving for Seven Days in an Abandoned Factory Area"
"Minimum Cost of 5 Yuan: Selected Urban Vagrant Recipes"
"I Spent 3 Days Walking Through the City I Live In, and I Learned the Distribution Rules of Treasure Chests"
"Build a Shelter Like This, My Home Has Become the Safest Place!"
"Extreme Survival Skills: Wandering in the Forest Area, How to Avoid Being Attacked by Wild Animals?"
In the NGA(NGA: name of a forum) game forum, a large number of players are enthusiastically discussing game experiences.
A post posted by a landlord(楼主: poster) quickly became popular:
"Brothers, in the early stage when the economy is tight, don't rush to add facilities to the shelter. Even if the house is a little broken, it is still good.
Why do I say that?
Because my house is too broken, how broken is it?
Yesterday a thief came in, didn't steal anything, and threw 20 yuan with tears when he left."
The building replied and complained: "Good家伙(Good fellow), is it good to have a broken home?"
The second floor replied:
"Then I will also share an experience.
Don't forget that this game is called Running Away Simulator, you are running away! Be sure to pay attention to various survival skills to ensure your safety.
I just opened a new save last night and refreshed to a remote border city.
If you refresh in this kind of place, don't live in a fixed place! Also, don't be in a place with water, such as sleeping by the river, lake, or well, otherwise you won't know how you died.
Because, some NPCs(NPC: Non-player character) here are specifically targeting stray vagrants!
They dare not touch people with families,
But if a vagrant disappears, it doesn't matter. No one has ever noticed you, and naturally no one cares about you.
I just played, I don't understand anything, I sleep in the bridge hole every day, and then I was targeted by them, and they tied Laozi(老子: I) away while I was asleep, crossed the border, and tied me to a small clinic.
Those Southeast Asian monkeys are really ruthless, they removed all the places that could be removed, and the health directly went to 0."
The building replied:
"Damn, it's too unfair for players who refresh to the border town, it's not the same difficulty as the big city!"
"This game seems to have a dynamic balance mechanism for scores. Cities with high survival difficulty also have high scores for survival behavior."
The third floor replied:
"You are all too miserable. I am lucky. The character refreshed in Jianghai City. Yesterday's settlement score was 83 points.
If you refresh in a city with a subway, I will share my subway scavenging experience.
The subway station is calculated according to the distance between entering and exiting the station. I got on the bus from the starting station and kept changing trains in the station until I walked through all the subway stations in the city, and then returned to the initial station.
During this period, I picked up valuable beverage bottles at People's Square Station and Lujiazui Station, because the passenger flow is large, so the drop rate of good things is extremely high! Just be careful not to be discovered by the cleaner NPC.
You can also find a unpopular subway station to spend the night at night. After the subway station is closed, you can go down from the elevator next to it and find a corner to sleep.
The advantage of this is that it is cheap. The cost of one day is 3 yuan, and you can get back the money by picking up some bottles.
And the transfer is convenient. I was taken in by a Beggar Gang called "Scavenger Alliance" at the beginning. Everyone often shares the fat subway stations and sleeps in the same station at night to avoid being bullied by security guards."
The building replied:
"Good家伙(Good fellow), after the "Treasure Chest Flow" and "Leftover Food Flow", the "Subway Flow" is about to emerge?"
"I envy the atmosphere of your Beggar Gang. In the city where I refreshed, the Beggar Gangs start a group at every turn. I am too difficult QAQ."
...
On the fourth day of the game's release, Wang Hanzhe continued to broadcast live.
Because the previous live broadcast clips went viral, the popularity of this live broadcast room reached 1.7 million.
Wang Hanzhe: "Brothers, Xinshenghe is coming to the door today. Let's make some home defense things according to the "Carpentry Manual"."
He opened the workbench and found that there were quite a lot of materials on hand that could be used to make home defense facilities:
Gunpowder, firework paper shells, various discarded wood, old furniture, old appliances, discarded metal, and discarded hardware tools.
So, he began to make defensive facilities by hand according to the prompts in the manual, and soon made five facilities:
【Smoke Screen Defense Device】
A device made of paper shells and dead grass, which can release a lot of smoke around the shelter, interfere with the enemy's vision, and increase the chance of escape.
【Metal Barbed Wire】
Barbed wire made of discarded metal, covering the shelter to prevent enemies from sneaking in and increase the safety factor.
【Wood Guard Tower】
A guard tower built with discarded wood, with a observation deck and shooting holes at a high place, which can be equipped with earthen cannons to effectively monitor the surrounding environment and carry out remote shooting.
【Waste Appliance Trap】
Traps made of discarded household appliances, such as washing machines and refrigerators, will release electric shock or spray hot water when triggered by the enemy.
【Gunpowder Trap】
Traps made of firework tubes and gunpowder will explode when someone triggers them, creating flames and sounds to scare away potential intruders.
Thebarrage was shocked: "Good家伙(Good fellow), I didn't expect the technology tree of this game to be so complicated."
Just after finishing the facilities of the shelter, the people from Xinshenghe really came to the door.
After observing in advance, perhaps they felt that there was only Wang Hanzhe in the entire shelter, which was not to be feared, so this time they only sent eight people.
These eight people looked fierce at Wang Hanzhe, while shaking the rusty iron knife in their hands, while starting to say trash talk:
"Hey, you kid, is it you who took the sister-in-law away?!"
"You dare to be so reckless by yourself, are you so Damn brave?"
"Quickly return the boss's pillow wife and paper concubines, and we can leave you with a whole body!"
Thebarrage was shocked:
"Good家伙(Good fellow), these people are really ruthless. Not only do they carry knives, but they are also enchanted with top tetanus. They really want the streamer's life, right?"
"The remote suburbs where vagrants gather are originally a lawless place. Even if someone hangs up, it won't attract anyone's attention, right?"
Wang Hanzhe left the other party with a deep back, put his hands in his pockets:
"I'm in a hurry, you all go together, don't talk nonsense with me, boys want to fight!"
Seeing this scene, thebarrage laughed: "That year, the streamer put his hands in his pockets and didn't know what an opponent was!"
Wang Hanzhe explained in the live broadcast room:
"Brothers, we call this losing people without losing the battle, okay?
Look around, there are already a lot of onlookers, maybe if we make a name for ourselves in this battle, we can attract a lot of like-minded people to join us."
As Wang Hanzhe adjusted the perspective, everyone really found that there were many vagrants on the hillside around the shelter.
They didn't seem to be members of Xinshenghe, squatting on the ground, carrying a sack in one hand and holding a broken bowl in the other, eating noodles while watching the fun.
The leader of Xinshenghe spat on the ground: "You won't shed tears until you see the coffin, let's go together!"
After the other party rushed, Wang Hanzhe turned around instantly and ran towards the shelter.
The other party suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, I thought he had some skills, but he turned out to be a paper tiger!"
The vagrants watching the fun also shook their heads regretfully.
The moment Wang Hanzhe ran into the building, he reached out and pulled down the hanging rope hanging on the wall.
Rumble!
The prepared paper shells and dead grass slid from the eaves and were ignited by the cigarette butts left on the ground.
In an instant, the ground released a lot of smoke, shrouding the shelter.
" Fuck! What the Damn is going on, I can't see anything!"
The smoke interfered with the enemy's vision, and they groped forward while cursing.
In the smoke, Wang Hanzhe took the lead in rushing into the metal barbed wire, cleverly shuttled between the grids, and quickly changed positions.
The people from Xinshenghe only cared about chasing after Wang Hanzhe, and after the smoke dissipated, they realized that they were trapped in the barbed wire array.
At this time, Wang Hanzhe had climbed to the roof of the shelter.
There was a simple wooden turret there.
The other party's leader continued to say trash talk: "Who the Damn are you scaring, if this thing can really fire a cannon, I will be your son!"
Kala Kala Kala...
Along with the sound of gears turning, Wang Hanzhe operated the gun barrel to turn to the person who was speaking and lit the fuse.
Boom!
After a loud noise, a cannonball made of discarded lead balls shot out and directly hit the other person's stomach.
"Pfft——"
This person raised his head and vomited blood three feet high, and his body was directly blasted out of the barbed wire array.
"Damn! Are you kidding me?"
The other members were immediately frightened, their faces turned pale, and they ran back as if they were flying.
On the way back, the enemy accidentally triggered the gunpowder trap again. The sound of the fire explosion was deafening, and the sparks splashed, catching the other party off guard and fleeing in all directions.
After repelling the enemy, the audience in the live broadcast room exclaimed:
"Damn, with such a carefully designed tactic, is the Chinese BOY really a genius?"
"At first, I thought it was just an ordinary vagrant game, but I didn't expect it to create such a big scene. Taoyuan Township(桃源乡: name of a game company) is really awesome."
"I really regret not getting into this game earlier, it's so exciting!"
"The lighting effect of this scene just now is very good. If you play it yourself with VR, it will definitely be more immersive and shocking. I think it will be too addictive!"
...
After repelling the enemies, the vagrants who had been squatting around didn't leave but gradually gathered closer.
They expressed to Wang Hanzhe:
"We are homeless and are often bullied by Xin Shenghe.
Your performance just now has completely convinced us. We hope to join your gang and recognize you as our boss!"
Wang Hanzhe counted and found that nearly twenty people had come to join him, so he accepted them all.
Among them, a few people particularly caught his attention.
The first person was nicknamed "Iron Ox."
He was as strong as an ox, with well-developed muscles in his arms.
He used to be a worker on a construction site, but he lost his job due to a work injury. However, the contractor refused to compensate him and threatened, "Sue me if you want. I have plenty of time to waste with you!"
In the end, Iron Ox's family was bankrupted, and he was forced to live on the streets.
The second person was nicknamed "Windblown Scholar."
He was thin, with ragged clothes, and held a stack of old books in his hands.
According to him, he had loved reading since he was a child and had excellent grades. He was forced to live on the streets because of his father's debts. At university, a rich second-generation roommate stole his spot for a poverty student grant. Utterly disheartened, he now lives by scavenging.
The third person was nicknamed "Dissecting Swordsman."
This person had a fat head and big ears, and his face suggested that he was a chef, holding a sharp kitchen knife.
He used to be a chef working in a five-star hotel. During a banquet to entertain distinguished guests, the 'Nine Turns of Intestines' he made poisoned the guests, who were rushed to the hospital.
Afterward, the hotel found out that the person in charge of purchasing the ingredients was taking kickbacks, but that person was the hotel manager's brother-in-law, so they had to push him out as a scapegoat.
After being fined until he was penniless, he ended up on the streets.
The fourth person was nicknamed "Soul Painter."
This young man had pale skin, messy hair, and wore colorful clothes.
He used to be an art student, but his paintings were always unknown. During his graduate studies, the tutor he respected stole his work and plagiarized a lot of fame.
Utterly disheartened, he went to a certain pink website to serialize R18 comics and unexpectedly became famous, but was eventually caught by the police and spent five years reflecting on his life.
He was recently released, but his job applications were repeatedly rejected, forcing him to live on the streets.
After looking at them all, Wang Hanzhe was very excited.
These are all truly talented people!
There is strong combat power, a scholar strategist, a chef for logistics, and an artist to cultivate everyone's sentiments.
Xin Shenghe is destined not to let him go easily after today's events.
But with these helpers, he can establish his own beggar gang and start a business!
He nodded and said:
"From today onwards, everyone will be brothers.
In the future, if I have a piece of meat to eat, I will definitely call you over to smell the aroma."
