Chapter 165 Mai Minghe: Elderly people and romantic comedy?

The second floor has indeed been "refreshed".

The word "refresh" was taught to her by Hai Luwei and is said to have originated from computer games.

He started talking from the time when they went downstairs, and when they came to the second floor again, Mai Minghe understood the meaning of "refresh"; she also understood what online games were, what NPCs were, and what fighting monsters was - Hai Luwei's favorite game seemed to be called World of Warcraft, and he said that nothing could surpass it.

Fu Tailan was the first to go down the stairs. He turned around and extended a hand to Mai Minghe.

Ever since the incident of snatching the "Snake Belt", he had unconsciously become more considerate and enthusiastic, but Mai Minghe pretended not to notice and did not say anything.

She naturally supported herself on the boy's hand, limped down the stairs, and asked, "Do you also like playing this kind of... monster-killing game?"

"It's called role-playing," Hai Luwei corrected from behind.

"what?"

Fu Tailan's expression was hazy, as if he were following the sound from deep within the fog. After a moment, he seemed to remember what "game" meant and replied, "Oh, no... I don't play games. I've never played one."

"Oh, you are worthy of being a high-level hunter sent by everyone," Hai Luwei muttered, walked down the stairs and stretched out his hand.

Fu Tailan immediately retracted his hand.

The moment the three of them stood in the corridor, the lights in the corridor lit up, as if welcoming their arrival; just like last time, the doors of each apartment were wide open, but there were no TV screens behind the doors.

Will the trap content be different after each refresh?
Mai Minghe wanted to ask Fu Tailan, but when he turned around, he was stunned.

Fu Tailan has no head on his shoulders.

His neck was buried in a TV; the TV seemed to sense Mai Minghe's gaze and turned towards her... the screen.

She was startled and subconsciously wanted to scream - but when her mouth opened, no sound came out.

Huh?
What's going on? Why do I have to become deaf first and then dumb?
With a bit of panic, she turned her head again and found that what was on the sea reed's neck had also become a TV.

Faint reflections and shadows floated on Hai Luwei's dark TV screen; Mai Minghe stared at his screen for two seconds, slowly raised his hand, and hesitantly placed it on his head.

Hmm...hard, cold, and square.

My head has indeed become a TV.

Well, the three of them were transformed into a TV combination; no one realized that this was originally an appliance store.

For some reason, she felt that she still had a mouth, but she couldn't make any sound; just as Mai Minghe was groping for her mouth, Fu Tailan tapped her shoulder.

what happened?
She turned her head towards the boy—no, turned the screen—and although it wasn't heavy, it was much larger than the original head. She felt a little uncomfortable with every movement and turn.

Fu Tailan raised his hand and pressed slightly on her head near her temple.

There was a slight "click" sound of electricity, and Mai Minghe saw the light on his own screen reflected on the screen of Fu Tailan's head.

My head is turned on.

...This is almost not human language.

"It seems like I need to turn on the TV to communicate. Don't worry, it should be temporary. Just get out."

Fu Tailan actually comforted her.

He also turned on his own TV. From the TV hung on his neck, the young man's voice, with a crackling sound, rang out. "What's on my screen?"

"...Please wait, searching for the signal." Mai Minghe answered honestly.

Fu Tailan was silent for a few seconds, as if trying to understand and digest this fact.

"What about me? What's on my face?"

"It's the same sentence." Not only Mai Minghe, but also Hai Luwei had the same sentence displayed on the screen after turning on the camera.

Before the "signal" was found, the three of them did not dare to move and had to stand at the stairs and wait patiently.

Hai Luwei accepted this strange situation faster than anyone else and immediately offered suggestions. He said that in order to better find the signal, it would be best for everyone to try turning around a few times, sticking their heads next to the window, or stretching their necks up a little... Fu Tailan treated all these suggestions as electrical noise and ignored them.

When the signal came, the rules explanation on the second floor also came.

The sounds of Fu Tailan and Hai Luwei beside him also disappeared from that moment on.

I guess they can no longer hear their own voices, right?
Although she knew rationally that both of them were around her, Mai Minghe felt as if she was left alone; she could only finish reading the explanation alone and walk into the trap that was waiting for her alone.

TV Life
When you are engrossed in reading novels or watching TV, probably everyone has had thoughts like "If I were XXX" or "If XXX happened to me", right?
Wouldn’t it be fun to occasionally have the opportunity to truly experience the plot of a film or TV series as a character in the play?

Look, the nest treats humans well, right? It doesn't just want to kill you.

Before it kills you, the nest will also provide you with some novel experiences.

Have you discovered that your head has turned into a TV?
That's right.

Next, a movie/TV series will be played on the TV in your head, lasting no more than 65 minutes.

You are a character in a movie or TV series - not the protagonist, you are not that lucky. Oh, unless it is a tragedy where the protagonist dies in the end, then you may be the protagonist.

As the plot progresses, you must be one step ahead of the crisis and use the limited abilities of a supporting character to find a correct and survivable path for yourself.

For you, it's a fully immersive experience, virtually indistinguishable from reality.

If you die in a movie/series, you actually die.

You can't see the real world, only the world in the movie/TV series, but your body is still on the second floor of the apartment. This means that the actions you take in the movie/TV world will also guide you to walk around the second floor of the apartment.

For example, you are being chased by a murderer in the film or TV world and you have to escape. There are two paths in front of you. If you choose A, you may hit your body against the wall of a bedroom; if you choose B, you may fall out of the apartment window.

Only by choosing the right path can you go downstairs smoothly in the second-floor apartment.

It is useless to try to walk straight ahead along the corridor, because your sense of direction has completely changed in the film and television world, and you don’t know which direction is the corridor.

Note that taking the wrong path doesn't necessarily kill you. Most of the time, it will just cause you to bump into furniture or a wall.

But your head TV is a delicate electronic product after all and cannot withstand impact, so after three to seven impacts (depending on the severity of the situation), your head TV will shatter.

Your head will break.

Then please enjoy your life as a supporting actor in the world of film and television!

PS: The Nest thinks you're a great person, so we've specially arranged a lighthearted TV show for you—a romantic comedy! So, it doesn't get any safer than this, right?

Eh...

Mai Minghe wanted to scratch his head, but when he reached out his hand, he touched the cool casing of the TV.

She has to find the right way downstairs while the hero and heroine are busy dating, which sounds not difficult.

I wonder what kind of TV series and movies Fu Tailan and Hai Luwei each won?

Can they get downstairs safely?

　I haven't slept well these past few days, and I'm too tired today, so I'll keep it short. By the way, there's no need to go into detail about the copy when we go downstairs, right? I'll just keep this part brief.
　　What a pity, I don't have the chance to illustrate today. This won't do. I need to think about how to create more opportunities to illustrate...

　　PS: Qidian has a lot of new features. To enable the illustration feature in the backend, you need to exchange it for "ink." I didn't even know there was such a thing as ink! I ended up signing in daily to get it, and finally saved up enough ink to enable illustrations. Do you think I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't use it more?

　　PS: Next Saturday I will be drawing a lottery in the Doomsday Ticket Giveaway Building. I plan to let AI take my place and never do stupid things like rolling paper balls with my hands again.
