The commotion that erupted in the audience also reached the contestant sitting in the center of the stage.

Since it's a single-player game, there won't be issues like callouts. The organizers of StarCard didn't even install a glass barrier, allowing the audience to have a better viewing experience.

If the seats of different contestants are close together, they can even lean out and see the screen of the person next to them.

Noticing the gasps from the audience, the contestants looked around in confusion, seeing the same bewilderment on the faces of those around them.

No, what happened?

Only Su Tao, who was sitting next to Chen Dong, and another amateur contestant, understood why the audience had erupted in commotion after seeing what was displayed on Chen Dong's computer screen.

"Mr. Chen, you actually chose the most difficult map right from the start?"

"Yes, Mr. Chen, with your equipment, you'd be easily killed by the roamers in the lab. The NPCs there use high-grade gold armor-piercing rounds, and even special red armor-piercing rounds."

A fellow amateur contestant kindly reminded Chen Dong of something.

In his view, although Chen Dong is the owner of Starcard, he is like a novice who knows nothing about "Escape from Chickenkov" and chooses the highest difficulty right away.

If Chen Dong were to be instantly killed by the wanderers after entering the map, he would definitely feel embarrassed.

And this matter is very likely to become a trending topic tomorrow, or even tonight.

The other contestants only understood what had happened after hearing the two men's advice to Chen Dong, but they were too far away from Chen Dong to speak loudly.

Faced with the unanimous advice from the amateur players and Su Tao, Chen Dong simply smiled and shook his head, choosing not to select the Zero Zone map as they suggested.

Just kidding. In his previous life, he almost completed the entire map of Escape from Yakov. Even if his equipment is a bit worse this time, it just means he needs to be more careful. For a hardcore gamer like him, playing the lab is still a piece of cake.

The only downside is that without a room key, you can't search for supplies in many areas of the lab.

Therefore, if he finds that he can't find many high-value supplies in the laboratory, Chen Dong will consider lowering the difficulty of the map and heading to a larger farm town.

After all, there are ways to get from the lab to the farm town.

Seeing that they couldn't persuade Chen Dong, the amateur contestants and Su Tao had no choice but to give up, return to their seats, and start the game again.

As the cutscene ended, the ten contestants appeared near the teleportation beacons of their respective chosen maps.

On the large screen at the top of the stage, the computer screens of the ten contestants were also broadcast in real time.

However, most of the audience at the scene, including those watching the live stream, focused their attention on the large screen displaying Chen Dong's computer screen.

They were eager to know whether Chen Dong, the boss of Starcard Company, was simply a master of his craft and daring, or simply ignorant and fearless.

This map in the laboratory is currently the exclusive map of top streamers. Ordinary players can only watch videos posted by top streamers if they want to see others play it.

On stage, Chen Dong seemed oblivious to the hundreds of gazes around him, focusing intently on the computer screen in front of him.

He entered the laboratory directly via a teleportation beacon, thus appearing directly in the rightmost room of the laboratory.

Although the room was spacious, there weren't many containers to search, but thankfully, no rogues were spawning near the spawn point.

Under the watchful eyes of countless viewers, Chen Dong expertly searched both food boxes in the room.

He pulled out a kettle and two duck eggs.

"Not bad, there's a water bottle that can replenish 100 water points."

Chen Dong's eyes lit up, and he immediately put the food and drinking water into his backpack.

At the start of the game, there is still plenty of space in the backpack. Even if you find something good later, you can throw away the food and drinking water at any time.

Furthermore, according to the competition rules, apart from equipment, firearms, and ammunition, these contestants cannot bring anything else, whether it be food or medicine.

Chen Dong chose to search the food box, which was unlikely to contain anything good, precisely because he wanted to find fresh water to avoid dying of thirst.

After searching the food boxes, Chen Dong began to control the character, the chick in overalls, and move it downwards.

"Wow, it seems like Mr. Chen is quite proficient in some of these operations?"

"Yes, Mr. Chen doesn't seem to be like other game company CEOs who stop caring about or playing the games their companies produce once the company has grown."

"It seems that President Chen has not changed his original intention."

Seeing Chen Dong's skillful gameplay, including his ability to roll and move around, and his stable aim, it was clear that Chen Dong had seriously played Escape from Chicken. The viewers in the live stream immediately started praising him.

However, some eye-catching bags poured cold water on the idea at this time.

"Tch, maybe he only practiced for a few days temporarily. Besides, he's the CEO of Star Card. Getting an account with unlimited equipment to familiarize himself with the lab map shouldn't be too difficult for him."

What this person said made sense, but it did not change the opinion of most viewers in the live stream. Some even questioned whether this person was a paid shill for a competitor of StarCard.

While the viewers in the live stream were arguing heatedly, Chen Dong had already killed two of the wanderers he encountered.

"Five sets, gold bullets, not bad."

From the boxes of the two wanderers, Chen Dong found dozens of perfectly usable golden bullets and upgraded his four sets of armor to five sets with higher protection. The large first-aid kit he found also meant he wouldn't have to worry about medicine anymore.

"Speak up, Kuroko!"

Seeing Chen Dong kill two roamers without taking any damage, the morale of the viewers in the live stream who were on Chen Dong's side immediately soared.

While enjoying the sights, Su Tao, sitting next to Chen Dong, kept an eye on him from time to time.

To her shock, Chen Dong had somehow transformed his MP5 into the more powerful MDR.

And it's a red-quality MDR-762!

Chen Dong naturally noticed Su Tao's gaze, but he just smiled silently and didn't pay any attention to it.

After searching the Wanderer's box and the searchable containers in the two nearby rooms, Chen Dong didn't find a single gold item, which made him frown slightly.

Even so, the total value of all the supplies in his backpack had already reached over ten thousand.

This includes equipment, firearms, and ammunition, with the majority being red-quality MDR-762s.

The other nine contestants had only managed to pull out a few worthless blue items, while others were still outsmarting the wanderers, their backpacks completely empty.

It can be said that Chen Dong was far ahead of the other contestants from the start.

However, Chen Dong's good fortune did not end there.

Once he arrived at the lab's main entrance, he immediately directed the chicken to focus its attention on several corners of the desks where it was easy to refresh the graphics card.

Sure enough, on the desk to the right of the door, there was a black graphics card.

Upon seeing this, the viewers in the live stream couldn't sit still any longer.

"What the hell? Such an expensive red item as a graphics card, and it just randomly appeared on a desk?"

"I want to report this. Isn't this just the boss rigging the payout rate?"
