Top Of Glory[Esports] Chapter 35

fear

Dawn, a rising star in e-sports, made her first appearance in the Summer Games. She played a game of chess on the field and immediately set the e-sports section of the forum on fire that day. Analysis posts emerged one after another and the popularity remained high.

He Chen had no reaction to this.

For him, completing the game itself is the key, and other public opinions no longer matter.

However, Qiao Zhi felt that this popularity would be wasted if not utilized. Just in time, an official event notification came, which gave him the best of both worlds.

“Have you heard about the afternoon activities?” Qiao Zhi took advantage of lunch time to spread the news to them.

“What kind of activity?” Fade didn’t swallow the food in his mouth and muttered, “Do you want to pay for it? Is it a lot?”

Qiao Zhi sat opposite him, and was sprayed in the face. He scolded: “Look at your little potential, why do you care about these three melons and two dates? After you have achieved fame, are you afraid that you will not make any money?”

Lao Tao disagreed, “Reputation is secondary, the first condition is good technology.”

The two of them kept talking, and the topic became more and more eccentric.

He Chen turned to look at Lin An.

Today’s yellow beef is so tender that you can see the bottom right before your eyes.

Hechen had a strict upbringing when he was a child. Although he didn’t eat slowly, he maintained complete table manners, so he often couldn’t take more than a few bites of popular dishes.

Lin An watched He Chen from the corner of his eye, and hurriedly grabbed the last two pieces of yellow beef before Fade, and put them into He Chen’s bowl.

Fade, who has witnessed everything: “…”

He Chen naturally ate the two pieces of meat and asked Lin An: “Do you know? What kind of activities are they?”

“Well,” Lin An knew that he would be too lazy to say anything if He Chen didn’t ask. Anyway, Qiao Zhi would announce it sooner or later, “the map of the Uncanny Valley is a warm-up for this year’s Ghost Festival.”

“This.” Lin Anyi said, and Coco also knew, “Do you want to warm up a month in advance? This activity front is quite long.”

When He Chen heard this name, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Coupled with what Lin An said about “Hungry Ghost Festival”, he estimated that he probably knew the truth.

“Let’s cooperate with the official promotion and live broadcast the actual battle on the Uncanny Valley map.” Venus figured out the routine clearly, “Have the details been finalized?”

“I discussed with Lao Tao that you work in pairs and organize your own arrangements. This kind of entertainment game must be more interesting when you form a team more freely. What you want is the unexpected effect.” Qiao Zhi was very satisfied with his arrangement.

He Chen’s stomach was full of opinions, but he opened his mouth to speak, but Qiao Zhi blocked him with another sentence.

“You don’t have any objections, right? Official activities have good publicity effects and have a positive impact on the team.”

He Chen silently shut up, packed up his dishes and sent them to the kitchen, and then returned to the training room alone.

Lin An noticed his less obvious emotional changes, recalled his previous performances, and raised his eyebrows.

He is currently the only one in the training room.

He Chen took a deep breath, clicked on the video software, dragged the page, and found horror and supernatural films and television works.

Just one face to face, He Chen felt like he was going to die.

In the black and green barren mountains and old forests, a lady in white clothes has her hair disheveled, with a slit in the middle and only the white of her eye staring out.

His skinny and pale fingers pinched a piece of bloody internal organs.

He Chen almost poked his head in fear.

“It’s like a female corpse in a barren mountain. There’s not even a buffer…” He Chen kicked the ground and moved his chair back several inches. If his arms weren’t so long, he would have wanted to jump out of the earth.

Further down the scroll, there are either pseudo-humans with weird body movements, or the kind of monsters that can ignore the spatial distance from the street in the blink of an eye, and can come to your side in an instant if you look at it. There are also website recommendations, which are must-sees, Bixian Season N, which introduces a few desperate students from a certain middle school. They sneak out of the dormitory at night and go to the school auditorium to recruit Bixian. As they play, they gain an extra “person”…

He Chen: “…”

He really couldn’t figure out what it was like for students to stay awake in the middle of the night to pick locks and go to the school auditorium to summon ghosts. Was it because the book was too good to read?Or is the dean too gentle?Are you really not sleepy after going to school during the day and at night?Even horror movies have to pay attention to the basic level of logic…

“The poor imagination of domestic horror movies… is also disappointing.” He Chen was afraid and secretly complained in his heart. In the end, after picking and choosing, he chose to click in first.

“…” He Chen took a deep breath again and comforted himself. It was all fake. Even if it was slapped on the face, it was still a lens effect.

He spent a long time mentally building himself up, finally put on the headphones and opened his eyes.

It just so happened that the opening theme song had passed, and the night scene of a barren mountain that was exactly the same as the poster appeared on the screen.

In the deep forest, dark green leaves swayed in the wind, and something was about to move in the darkness.

The background music was mixed with the sounds of animals screaming, and He Chen felt that his body temperature was also dropping, and goosebumps appeared on his two exposed arms.

The camera was shaking more and more, and the people in the picture seemed to be being chased by something. Finally, they saw the shadow of a cottage not far away. Although there was no light in the night, the smoke was curling up, giving people a warm feeling of popularity, which made people feel relieved.

He Chen couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief following the perspective of the picture.

The screen suddenly went black.

He Chen was stunned for a moment, feeling strange, and reached out to touch the machine, “I didn’t touch the power supply?”

At this moment, the ear-piercing scream suddenly exploded——

The screen flickered, and a gray-white patch with a few red spots suddenly appeared among the large black area.

That’s not the screen off at all, it’s the female ghost’s hair. She killed the person who just kept running.

The scream was so piercing that after realizing it, He Chen hurriedly took off his earphones and kept retreating, silently shouting in his heart along with the sound just now.

He Chen fumbled and turned off the video, thinking that it was okay. The movie just now ranked first on the horror and supernatural list. It should be relatively serious, and the game should not be so big.

The experience just now was so frightening that He Chen broke out in a cold sweat without realizing it. It was a bit cold sitting in the air-conditioned room now. He reached back and touched the back of the chair, trying to take off the team uniform jacket hanging on it and put it on…

However, He Chen did not feel the expected feel of the fabric. Instead, he felt a smooth and slightly hard touch. He seemed to have touched something packed one by one…

This feels a bit like…

Hand?!

He Chen’s eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly jumped up from the chair——

“Ah——”

Hechen tripped on the chair support, lost control of his body, and fell towards the corner of the table.

This scene was shocking. Lin Anquan relied on the reaction speed of the e-sports player to catch the person.

In this way, the two people’s chests were pressed tightly against each other, and each other’s heartbeats sang in harmony, gradually forming a rhythm.

He Chen’s eyes widened and he had not yet fully recovered from the shock.

The dark pupils were stained with physiological tears and looked wet. Lin An inexplicably thought of the newborn fawn he had seen in the zoo when he was young, and couldn’t help but take another step forward, and another step…

Until Hechen’s thin waist was firmly pressed against the table through his palm.

There is no way to retreat.

The palms on his waist were burning hot. He Chen couldn’t bring himself to recall the emotion he had just felt. He couldn’t hide or endure it, so he closed his eyes as if to escape.

There was a sudden noise outside the training room, and the sound of footsteps and the sound of conversation broke the beautiful walls of the room.

The two of them woke up from a dream, and Lin An was pushed away with such force that he took two steps back.

He Chen covered his ears and turned around to avoid Lin An’s sight.

“I want to say be careful…” Lin An looked at the ostrich-like child and secretly regretted scaring him.

He came up because he thought of He Chen’s reaction on the night of the heart-to-heart talk. He was probably afraid of this and wanted to test his guess. He caught the little cool boy secretly watching a horror movie to desensitize himself. As soon as he walked behind the person, his hand was touched. He didn’t expect to frighten the child like this.

Lay and Coco came in one after another. The two Internet-addicted youths who only had eyes for e-sports were not aware of the embarrassment in the air. They were talking about the Uncanny Valley map in the afternoon.

Lin An wanted to appease Hechen, but now was obviously not the right time.Moreover, Hechen sat back when Lay and the others came in, and opened the webpage to browse the official Uncanny Valley map trailer.

He Chen glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Lin An returning to his seat and sitting down, and he couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief.

But the strange thing is that his disordered heartbeat shows no signs of calming down and is still showing his presence.

Hechen forced himself to shift his attention to the game details of the Uncanny Valley.

The planning team of the POG game designs some different themed activities every year based on different cultural festivals in different regions, and occasionally does some major projects, such as this limited-time map.The gameplay is similar to other maps, that is, the graphics combine traditional elements and look more designed. Of course, there are also many hidden rules worth exploring.

The Uncanny Valley map combines the Chinese Ghost Festival culture and is set at night when the bright moon hangs high.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the sky is cloudless, the mountains and rivers are vast, and the sky is hanging.

In front of the temple, prayer flags flutter in the howling wind.There are scattered groups of painted boats in the water, and lotus-shaped river lanterns float along with the water. The ups and downs have their own destiny.

The whole map is full of fireworks, but there is no living person, and the bright moon looks eerie.

As Hechen watched, he was brought into the atmosphere by the promotional video, and his mood tightened little by little.

The flashing icon in the upper right corner of the monitor made He Chen pull away.

It is the message prompt of the chat software.

At this moment, He Chen seemed to have a telepathy and identified the person who sent the message.

Lin An came to apologize.

He was watching content that had nothing to do with training in the training room. It was good that Lin An didn’t criticize him. How could He Chen blame him.

But Lin An didn’t give him a chance to forgive him and directly proposed remedial measures.

Lin An: I will make it up to you.In pairs, let’s form a team, okay?

He Chen: …Don’t bother, I’ll just listen to Manager Qiao and Coach Tao’s arrangements.

Lin An: Don’t worry about that. You’re on the same team as me. I promise I won’t make you afraid.

Hechen is an honest child, but honest children occasionally want to maintain their precarious dignity in front of special people.

He Chen: I’m not afraid. You suddenly appeared just now and I didn’t react.

Lin An looked over from across the camera, and He Chen braced himself to hold his gaze.

After a while, He Chen vaguely heard Lin An seem to laugh.

He thought he heard it wrong, but the chat software prompted the message again.

Lin An: Yes, you are not afraid, I am afraid. Brother Hechen, can you protect me and take me flying?

He Chen’s face turned red, and he abandoned his helmet and armor. Under Lin An’s constant urging, he gave up and replied “Yes”.
