After Xu Bei took out the rookie assassin, he didn’t move forward right away. Instead, he squatted to the side, admiring the supermodel figure of the Jumping Corpse Female Factory Worker for quite a while, even reaching out to touch her.
Wow! So realistic!
Is this what an immersive Virtual Game is like?
Looks like I’ve finally figured out the real way to play a Virtual Game.
This time, the good brothers in the livestream didn’t roast the Streamer.
(Ghost Hand)
(The Streamer really gets streaming)
(Stop looking or you’ll get banned!)
(So the Streamer’s a guy?)
(Female Hormone not working?)
(Is the Streamer male or female, after all?)
Everyone was using the Over-the-shoulder Third-person Perspective to closely observe the Jumping Corpse Female Factory Worker’s voluptuous figure along with the Streamer.
“Why would a monster be designed like this? I don’t want to hit women, but seeing a figure this good makes me want to smack her around. What a contradiction,” Xu Bei muttered to himself, face full of confusion, raising a Soulful Question.
After dawdling for a while, Xu Bei finally continued on his way.
Looks like he’d already forgotten his original goal of speedrunning the game for money, and was now just wandering around sightseeing.
But this was the essence of gaming—it’s people playing games, not games playing people. He was truly enjoying himself.
He lingered a bit more before finally preparing to enter the Abandoned Factory.
“Ka-chak!” Xu Bei pushed open the Rusty Factory Gate, producing a harsh screech.
But as soon as he stepped fully inside, the Rusty Main Door behind him slammed shut on its own, cutting off his escape route.
Xu Bei was startled. Why did this atmosphere suddenly feel like a Horror Movie?
But just as he was about to venture deeper—
He found three paths ahead: left and right corridors, and a staircase straight ahead. Each was blocked by a shadowy figure.
The graceful curves of their bodies combined with a twisted, eerie gait made the tense, scary atmosphere vanish instantly, leaving only a sense of absurdity.
A Jumping Corpse Girl slowly approached, blocking all of the Player’s escape routes.
Another tough fight—three Jumping Corpse Female Factory Workers. But they looked a bit different from before; they were younger, probably better called Factory Girls.
They wore thin, see-through white shirts, their figures more slender and youthful, each swinging a Bloodstained Wrench in erratic motions.
“Every household and shop on Meteor Street runs dirty businesses—now even the games are skirting the line? Can’t survive without some risqué stuff, huh?”
Xu Bei complained while getting into his stance. Left arm bent, fist guarding his body; right arm hanging down, swinging to build power—this was the perfect opening form for Lightning Thrust Punch.
But after swinging his left arm a few times, Xu Bei suddenly felt something was wrong—he couldn’t feel his right arm at all!
“Huh?” Xu Bei realized he couldn’t control his right hand—no, he couldn’t even sense it.
At that moment, the three Factory Girls rushed over, violently swinging their steel wrenches.
Xu Bei was forced to abandon his attack and switch to dodging, weaving nimbly through their onslaught.
“Bang!” He could only swing his left fist, landing a heavy left hook on the Factory Girl’s face.
But on closer look, his full-strength hook did as much damage as the Lightning Thrust Punch, but was far less flexible.
“Roar!” The Factory Girls kept shrieking and bouncing around, their wrenches narrowly missing Xu Bei.
Not only that, he also had to watch out for the other two wrenches, so his footwork had to be extremely careful.
Even a monster like Xu Bei had to get serious now—this three-on-one was way tougher than before.
(What is the Streamer doing)
(Streamer, did your right hand break?)
(Don’t troll, the Streamer’s challenging himself to clear the game one-handed!)
(Huh?)
(Huh?)
(Bragging)
(Streamer’s putting on a show)
The viewers were all confused, the chat full of doubt and puzzlement—they couldn’t figure out what the Streamer was doing.
But soon, they came up with a wild, earth-shattering theory.
Maybe the Streamer wasn’t just trying to clear the game barehanded, but actually going for a one-handed clear?
Plus, the viewers saw how serious and focused Xu Bei looked.
(Maybe our guess is right)
(Is the Streamer really going for a one-handed clear?)
But in reality, Xu Bei himself was completely bewildered and scared out of his wits.
Was his brand-new Virtual Game Helmet broken on the very first day? Or was there something wrong with his right hand?
To figure this out…
The scene shifts back to reality.
Sun Xiaohui was squatting by the bedding, watching Xu Bei’s handsome face as he roamed the virtual world, her lips unconsciously curling up.
But then she swallowed nervously, her courage suddenly rising. She picked up Xu Bei’s right hand.
This action caused Xu Bei’s right hand to lose connection, making it unresponsive in the game.
But Sun Xiaohui didn’t do anything weird with his hand.
She just pressed her palm to his, hand-to-hand, gazing at the boy’s long fingers with a goofy, smitten smile.
That was really all—although it was a bit silly.
Luckily, Sun Xiaohui didn’t play around for long before putting Xu Bei’s right hand back.
She opened her Old Tablet Computer to catch up on the latest Romance Soap Opera, then went to sleep when she got tired.
But lying in bed, Sun Xiaohui couldn’t fall asleep for a while. Her mind kept thinking about Xu Bei entering the Live Streaming Industry, and she wondered how she could help Xu-ge.
She figured she should learn more about Virtual Games and streaming.
“To better help my boyfriend.”
Sun Xiaohui mustered her courage, made a little fist, and set her goal.
Then she fell asleep, refusing to overwork herself—anything else could wait until tomorrow.
“Huh? My arm’s working again!”
Back in the game, as Xu Bei fought the three Factory Girls, he finally felt his right hand return.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
In the next instant, Xu Bei unleashed a Quick Jab Combo, driving back Factory Girl No. 1.
Factory Girl No. 2 let out a chilling shriek and suddenly began slashing left and right with her wrench, but Xu Bei dodged every strike with agile, swaying footwork.
Seizing the moment, Xu Bei struck out with his left hand like a viper, grabbing the Factory Girl’s wrist.
With one hand, he pinned her wrench-wielding arm, instantly stopping her wild attacks.
“Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!”
Xu Bei swung his right fist, pummeling Factory Girl No. 2’s abdomen with a flurry of quick punches.
After whittling down her health, he knew he had to take a risk—finish off Factory Girl No. 2 first.
But he couldn’t drop his guard—the other two wrenches were swinging for the back of his head, extremely dangerous.
“Lousy game!”
Xu Bei ducked just in time, a wrench brushing past his flying golden hair, nearly getting him killed.
Crouching, he kicked at Factory Girl No. 1’s legs. Though it didn’t do much damage, it knocked her off balance and sent her tumbling to the ground.
That gave Xu Bei room to focus on Factory Girl No. 3, who had the most health. Now that it was one-on-one, it was much easier.
He stepped in close, nearly bumping into her chest.
“Boom!”
Xu Bei suddenly sidestepped and slammed her with a powerful Iron Mountain Lean, sending Factory Girl No. 3 flying several meters away.
(So fierce!)
(Is the Streamer even human?)
(So scary!)
His slick moves even had the viewers in the chat completely convinced!
