Let’s watch it first!
It was just a game, and Royal Princess Ji Yu didn’t pay much attention to it. However, she felt weird when she saw the name.
Even the disciples of Lingyun don’t dare to play it? 
She glanced at Song Qingfeng, Nalan Mingxue, and the others curiously.
The Second Prince had been hesitant. Hearing Ji Yu’s words, he said,
Okay. We’ll watch it first then.

Eagerly, Ying Zongxuan, Luo Yun, and the other disciples from Xiyi Academy activated and opened the game. Meanwhile, the elite disciples from Shengjing Academy, such as Xiao Lengyu and the Fifth Prince Ji Yang , 
also activated and opened the game.
It was a silent competition, and they wanted to take this opportunity to redeem themselves.

How can cowards become warriors?
Ji Yang quickly entered the game. At the beginning of the game, the information was simple:
The male character James received a letter from his wife Mary, who had died three years ago, and the letter said that she was waiting for him at a special place in Silent Hill. Eager to see his wife, James began his trip to Silent Hill with suspicions on his mind.
While he controlled the ordinary male character’s body, he remembered the content of the letter as he watched the dead-silent town which was engulfed in thick mist.
Ji Yang went speechless for a moment.
When he watched Su Tianji play the game, he didn’t feel anything special. However, after understanding the game’s background and seeing the place that he was going to enter, he suddenly felt like something wasn’t right!

It looked fine when I watched her play it…
Xiao Lengyu also frowned when she sensed the change in the atmosphere.
She remembered that before the activation of the game, Loli Jiang Xiaoyue had told her the different features of this game. For example, the external communication would be cut off when the players entered the main plot.
Standing in the dead silence, she felt uneasy.
Watching the game from behind, the Royal Princess and the Second Prince also changed their expressions.
An ordinary guy will have to search for someone in such a place?

In the real world, they would send troops to do the search first. How could an ordinary guy enter this place?
How could he make his way back?

Remembering their boasts, the disciples from the two academies had to force themselves into the thick mist. After all, the disciples of Lingyun had played it for a while. If they quit at the beginning of the game, it would be too humiliating for them!
Anyway, it is just a game! How could it do anything to me?! 
At this thought, Ji Yang and the others forced themselves to continue the game.
When they passed the cemetery, they finally encountered a person who revealed to them the strange things that were happening in Silent Hill. Then, they entered the town and saw no damages in the houses and other buildings, but they didn’t see any person and couldn’t hear any sounds.
Luo Yun had the urge to quit the game…
She had never been afraid when she was hunting demon beasts, but now she suddenly found those demon beasts were quite endearing!
Watching the game, the Royal Princess’s face turned dark, and she murmured to herself,
I’d rather face a group of assassins than enter this place.

In an unknown and weird place, people would reveal their deepest fears since they had to imagine the enemies who they might encounter!
In this situation, the players couldn’t stop imagining the scariest things that they could think of once they started.
Their imagination ran wild since they got cues from the game, and they subconsciously felt that they might encounter things scarier than monsters.
For a long while after the game began, the players wouldn’t encounter monsters, but the continuous exploration in silence heightened the players’ fear; that was the scariest part for new players.
The Second Prince felt lucky. It’s fortunate that I followed my Royal Sister’s advice to watch it first…

When the players’ fear rose to the limit, they suddenly saw the distorted thing before them, and these creatures corresponded to the internal evils inside them!
The most dangerous situation that they had experienced was killing demon beasts, and most of the demon beasts they faced were much weaker than them.
This was a scenario that they had never seen before!

Ahh!

Some escaped, but the Royal Princess and the Second Prince saw some players getting knocked down by the monster!
They could imagine the hopelessness when one struggled desperately but couldn’t quit from the game…
Ji Yu felt the hairs on her body standing up on end!

Ahh—
she shrieked uncontrollably!
This shriek was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. The people who were also watching the game shivered, and they were all scared out of their wits!
This shriek drew the attention of the other people in the internet café.
Cowardly, Royal Princess Ji Yu immediately hid behind the Second Prince!
It was super embarrassing!
They had boasted about their courage, but they turned out to be more scared than their rivals!
Furthermore, everyone turned to watch their humiliation at the Royal Princess’s shriek, and they thought that they would die of embarrassment!
To save face, the Second Prince lifted his head and yelled,
Sir! How can someone play the game?


Why not?
Fang Qi looked toward them.

The main character is just an ordinary guy, and he has to enter such a dangerous place!
Ji Yu argued in a loud voice,
This game is unreasonable!


Is there anything wrong with the fact that he’s an ordinary guy?
Fang Qi said,
You become scared when you have no cultivation strength, which means that your seemingly strong mentality is a result of your cultivation strength. Without your cultivation strength, your mind collapses at the first challenge.

Fang Qi’s words touched many people’s nerves, and they shivered.
Fang Qi studied them and said,
In my opinion, you guys should play the game 100 times.

Everyone’s face twitched.
Play 100 times?! Do you want us to die from fear?


Then, why don’t you play it?!
Xiao Lengyu finally escaped from the monster and then took off the virtual headset before glaring at Fang Qi.

Who told you that?
Fang Qi rolled his eyes.

The shop owner will play it on the livestream tonight,
Nalan Mingxue said, obviously to prevent Fang Qi from going back on his words.

Livestream?
All of them stared at him.
You’ll broadcast this game on livestream?


Yeah,
Nalan Mingxue answered for Fang Qi.
Meanwhile on the other side of the internet cafe, the old Premier led a group of civil and military officials to watch the TV series in leisure.
On this side, the disciples from the three academies confronted the shop owner Mr. Fang.
Good! We’ll witness your humiliation!

Fang Qi looked fearless.
Seeing his casual expression, the players who had been scared in the game gritted their teeth.

Humph! I hope you won’t beg for mercy!

Fang Qi shrugged and then looked at Nalan Mingxue who had been making trouble for him.
Isn’t it time for you to try it?

Nalan Mingxue:
…
