Chapter 30 Good News and Bad News

Yan Junchi... Yan Junchi is about to be driven crazy by Geng Yao.

However, since Geng Yao had already tagged him, he couldn't continue pretending he wasn't there, so he could only reply with an "Mm".

This "hmm" caused an uproar in the group chat:

"So, the bed Gao Yang and the others were sleeping on was solid, without any underlay, yet Gao Yang heard scratching sounds coming from under the bed?!"

"Wow! This is so exciting! I'm suddenly interested in this game!"

"That sounds interesting. What's the name of this game?"

Other classmates in the group started to chime in, but Gao Yang didn't show up after that, perhaps because he was scared by the discovery.

"Speaking of which, Yan Junchi, how did you 'die'? Oh, and what about the class monitor...?"

"Hey..." someone suddenly realized, "If the class monitor and Yan Junchi both come out, does that mean Tian Baiwei is the only one left in the game?"

Yan Junchi wanted to play dead, but Geng Yao had already answered them: "That's right, Bai Wei is the only one left!"

Upon seeing this, Tian Baiwei almost burst out laughing.

In particular, she also saw Geng Yao casually asking Yan Junchi what had happened and why his death was so gruesome... If she didn't know that Geng Yao was just like that, Tian Baiwei would have thought that Geng Yao was deliberately making fun of Yan Junchi.

If she were Yan Junchi, she'd probably be green with envy right now.

So in the group chat, Yan Junchi quickly had to interrupt Geng Yao and try to change the subject: "Class monitor, how did you get out?"

The topic was actually shifted quite naturally, but unfortunately, he still failed to do so successfully.

Because Geng Yao's answer was—

"Oh, it might be a little embarrassing to say..."

"I was terrified by the way you died."

Geng Yao was not lying.

She was truly scared to death—

Of course, saying she was "scared to death" isn't entirely accurate. To be precise, after seeing Yan Junchi's death, her reaction and emotions were so intense that the health module in the gaming helmet detected abnormal data and promptly cut off the power.

She quit the game because of this.

These words immediately piqued the curiosity of the other students.

"Holy crap! How on earth did Yan Junchi 'die'?! He even scared the class monitor to death!"

"My God, what a horrible death!"

Seeing that Yan Junchi did not answer, Geng Yao took it upon herself to answer the questions for the class. She vividly described Yan Junchi's "death" in the game, which made the students exclaim "exciting" and even ask for the name of the game.

Tian Baiwei then casually joined the group chat: "The game is called 'Double Happiness'..."

"This is an entry I found in a horror holographic game competition! If you're interested, you can download it and support the game's creator!"

The other students readily agreed, but Geng Yao excitedly asked her, "Bai Wei, did you pass the level?"

Yan Junchi, watching from the other screen, unconsciously held his breath.

Fortunately, he soon saw Tian Baiwei's message: "No, I'm 'dead' too..."

"Phew..." He let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"Huh, how did you 'die'? What happened after that?" Geng Yao asked, very curious.

"I died in the same way as Xuanxuan..."

Tian Baiwei had just taken a moment to confirm with Liang Lexuan, "We were both killed by that piece of red cloth that was brought back."

Anyway, her death... compared to the others, was not shameful at all, and there was nothing to be ashamed of.

"It's that red cloth!"

Geng Yao exclaimed in amazement, "This game is truly unpredictable; you can't relax for a moment..."

"Yes..." Tian Baiwei said meaningfully, "I said from the beginning that this is a very fun and interesting game..."

"There are just some people who absolutely refuse to admit it..."

"Some people" in front of the screen: "..."

Tian Baiwei waited for a while, but "certain people" did not come out to refute as usual, and immediately knew that Yan Junchi and others had admitted defeat.

So, she raised her chin, swaggered out of the group chat, and went to the game page to continue writing her review.

However, when opening the webpage, Tian Baiwei always felt as if she had forgotten something.

As for what exactly happened... she racked her brains for a while but still couldn't remember, so she simply let it go.

Never mind, it's probably not that important anyway...

……

Since the last time I uploaded the game after patching it with a few updates based on the comments, Jiangyi hasn't really paid attention to the game's status.

She entrusted all game-related matters to the system, letting it handle the rest. The system, in any case, seemed quite enthusiastic.

She even found the system's occasional notifications reporting how much energy she had collected a bit noisy, so she simply turned off the system's notifications.

So when the system suddenly appeared and asked her which news she wanted to hear first, good news or bad news, Jiang Yi took a moment to realize that the system was referring to the game she had participated in before.

She thought for a moment: "Bad news..."

Don't people always say that you have to suffer first and then enjoy the sweetness?

System: "That's right, host."

The system already knew its host was... incredibly lazy, so as it spoke, it projected the webpage directly in front of its host, who was sprawled on the sofa: "Since the game went live (on the website), the number of negative reviews has far exceeded the number of positive reviews."

It slowly scrolled through the webpage, showing Jiangyi the negative reviews:

"This game is absolutely disgusting! It's unplayable! You die all the time, the gaming experience is terrible!"

"This game is garbage! The NPCs are completely illogical; players have absolutely no chance against them! It's so frustrating!"

"Can you please stop embarrassing yourself with this half-finished game?! There's no quest log, no item inventory, not even a story recap! Once you miss something an NPC says, you can't find out anything anymore, because the NPC won't even acknowledge you if you ask again!"

"What a boring game! The whole map only has a few houses and NPCs, not even a single monster. It's incredibly boring..."

……

The system painstakingly scrolled down a long string of negative reviews to the bottom, then asked Jiang Yi, "Host, should we do something?"

For example, it could hack into the backend and delete negative reviews; it could also go through the internet to teach those players who left negative reviews a lesson (provided that Jiangyi grants it the authority); and so on...

Before the system could finish listing, Jiangyi waved her hand to interrupt it: "Show me the game records of these players who gave negative reviews..."

The system responded and began casting the video.

Jiang Yi quickly skimmed through the game records of the players who gave negative reviews, then pointed out a few of them, "This one, this one, and that one..."

"Mark these people," said Jiang Yi slowly. "From now on, these people won't be allowed to play our games."

Jiang Yi didn't care much about the negative reviews, after all, the game was originally created just to collect energy to maintain her body and supply the system.

She pointed out those accounts that were hurling insults in the comments section, but whose presence could still be seen in the game logs provided by the system.

Jiangyi didn't take those players who gave bad reviews to heart at all.

But Jiangyi wasn't so patient with those who kept giving her bad reviews while still playing her games... Since they disliked it so much, they shouldn't play it anymore.

Most of the time, Jiang Yi was simply too lazy to bother with it.

But that doesn't mean she has a good temper.

Or rather, very few of the dungeon bosses in horror games have a good temper.

After watching the system mark those players to ensure that these accounts could no longer download or log in to her game, she slowly reminded the system, "So, what's the good news?"

The system announced excitedly, "The good news is, host, our game's downloads have increased significantly recently!"

The woman in crimson reacted indifferently.

Judging from the number of negative reviews, she knew there must be quite a few people playing the game lately. But how many more could there be?

"Our downloads have exceeded 50,000!" the system's voice announced joyfully.

Jiang Yi, who had been listless, suddenly opened her eyes wide.

How much?!
