Inside the room, Chu He rummaged through boxes and cabinets until he found a black wrist guard, which he wore on his left hand to cover his wristwatch.
His previous conversation with Song Hu made him realize that wearing the player watch was quite a significant trouble.
According to the player rules, except when transferring player qualification, a player would be erased if they took off the watch at any other time.
If he did not conceal the game wristwatch, he might face danger once discovered by other people who were also players.
The Mist Game prohibited players from using game strength against ordinary people, but it did not prohibit fighting between players.
If he encountered an unreasonable and ruthless powerful player who forced him to hand over his equipment, he would be finished.
Before becoming stronger, he had to hide his identity as much as possible.
Afterward, Chu He started a livestream at home.
"Yo, the young Central Army is finally streaming."
"Streamer, I learned your playstyle yesterday and lost all night. Thank you so much for helping me successfully quit my internet addiction."
"May I ask, is this the streamer who prioritizes leveling up passive skills for every hero?"
"DOTA2 tip reminds you that you are watching the stream of a Central Army god!"
"The streamer feeds us on time every day; how professional!"
Looking at the stream friends' comments, Chu He grinned.
"Brothers, today I will perform a Dragon Knight Meteorite Hammer playstyle for you."
"I thought of this playstyle after deep contemplation last night."
"This playstyle will allow you to rank up quickly, and you won't have to take the blame if you lose." Chu He skillfully opened the game and started ranked matchmaking.
A game ended.
Chu He looked at his stats of 0/15, his face full of gloom.
"Brothers, facts prove that the streamer's playstyle is wrong."
"Just now, I used my precious ranked points to tell you a fact: never build a Meteorite Hammer when playing Dragon Knight." Chu He said with a bitter smile.
【Old Lu tipped you five Super Rockets!】
Seeing the pop-up tipping information, Chu He was a bit surprised.
One Super Rocket cost two thousand yuan. Usually, he would be thankful to receive one in a month; he didn't expect to receive five Super Rocket tips at this moment.
"It seems the stunt just now was quite good and to the boss's liking!" he thought to himself, then said with a smile, "Thank you, Boss Lu. Boss Lu is generous."
"Boss Lu, let's get in the game."
"Today I will carry you with my signature move hero."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Old Lu send a private message.
"Streamer, are you wearing a wristwatch under your wrist guard?"
Seeing the comment sent by Old Lu, Chu He felt a shock in his heart.
"Is this Old Lu also a player?" he thought to himself.
Since he could think of using a wrist guard to cover the player watch, other players could naturally think of it too.
Chu He immediately tapped the keyboard to reply, "I have a tattoo on my left wrist. According to platform regulations, I cannot show tattoos while streaming, so I cover it with a wrist guard."
Old Lu did not send any more information.
Chu He did not know if the other party had already left the stream.
"It seems I can't turn on the camera for future streams!" Chu He thought to himself.
Before starting a new game, he deleted all recorded streams on the platform.
After all, in his past stream recordings, his left hand had no tattoo, so his lie would naturally be easily exposed.
To avoid being discovered by other Mist Players, he had to be extremely careful.
Because of Old Lu's words just now, Chu He was somewhat absent-minded during the rest of the stream.
His already terrible game skills became even worse.
After one game, his four teammates launched 'friendly greetings' at him.
However, as a streamer, Chu He had strong mental fortitude; he didn't care about mere greetings.
He directly gave his teammates a block and report package.
……
From morning until night.
After streaming for nearly ten hours, Chu He ended the stream and ordered a portion of crayfish to reward himself.
Because he was in poor condition today, he made frequent mistakes that the players took as a stunt, earning him quite a few tips.
The biggest tip among them was Old Lu's five Super Rockets.
But the comment the other party sent made him somewhat concerned.
However, Chu He thought again that even if the other party was truly a Mist Game player, they didn't know which city he was in.
Other than the stream, there shouldn't be any other intersection between them.
Thinking this way, he threw the matter to the back of his mind.
Sitting on the living room sofa, Chu He scrolled through short videos to pass the time.
After waiting for over half an hour, the takeout delivery person arrived with the crayfish.
Chu He began to feast.
For the next few days, Chu He's routine remained the same.
Streaming during the day, resting at night.
Until the third night.
Just as Chu He finished his stream, he heard his watch make a 'ding-ding-ding' sound.
The 3D taskbar appeared before Chu He's eyes through the wrist guard.
【Game Released】
【Game Name: Horror Hide-and-Seek】
【Game Difficulty: F】
【Game Type: Team Survival】
【Number of Players: Thirty People】
【Game Completion Condition: Hide for one hour, don't get caught!】
【Do you wish to play this game?】
【Yes/No】
【Refusing to play the game will cost 100 Mist Coins】
"A new game?"
"But there's actually a refusal option; I didn't expect that." Chu He muttered.
Four days had passed since he last played 【Fear of the Walking Dead】.
There were only three days left until the seven-day deadline.
Chu He naturally would not refuse.
If no new game was released in the next three days, he would be done for once the seven days were up.
Moreover, the game completion condition this time did not seem too difficult to Chu He.
Hide for one hour, don't get caught.
This meant that when the enemies in the game were hunting, he could fight back.
If the completion condition was not to be found, Chu He might have chosen to refuse.
After all, being caught and being found were two different things.
The former allowed one to use strength to resist, while the latter meant being finished as soon as one was discovered.
As Chu He accepted the game, the 3D taskbar disappeared, replaced by an illusory flat map.
The map indicated the location where the game would take place and the start time.
With an hour and a half left before the game started, he didn't dare to delay and immediately went out.
……
Meanwhile, inside the Yue City Public Security Bureau.
Song Hu, who was working overtime through the night, received a call from his apprentice.
Answering the phone, his apprentice's excited voice rang out, "Master, I'm at the Technical Department right now, and that black wristwatch has shown movement."
"I'm coming over right now." Song Hu said, hung up the phone, and rushed to the Technical Department.
When he arrived, he saw the black wristwatch emitting a blue glow.
"What is going on?" Song Hu asked.
"Captain Song, I don't know either."
"I previously tried to open this watch to confirm its internal structure, but this watch could not be opened by any means. I tried using a hammer to smash it, but before I could even start, this watch suddenly glowed," a Technical Department staff member said.
"Master, this watch is very strange. There are so many buttons on it, but no matter how we press them, there is no reaction."
"But now it suddenly glows; there must be something fishy," Song Hu's apprentice said.
Song Hu looked at the glowing watch, hesitated for a moment, took off the watch he was wearing on his left hand, and put on the black wristwatch.
The next moment, he heard a cold mechanical voice ring out in his mind.
"Player qualification detected..."
"Binding player..."
"Binding successful..."
"Generating Talent..."
Hearing the mechanical voice in his mind, Song Hu was stunned.
