Chapter 670 - 669: Brother Huai, Is Instant Noodle Slurping Good?

In other words, the five monster file cards are not placed simultaneously but are placed step-by-step according to danger level or other judgment factors.

This ensures that 813 is the first to be discovered, 049 is the second, 902 is the third, 173 is the fourth, and 096 is the fifth.

Mu Qiu thought for a while and raised a question: "What if no one finds the first card? For example, if five hours pass and 813 is still undiscovered."

The director gave a mysterious smile: "The neural lines in the ruins are like fuses buried underground, interconnected with each bomb.

If the first card remains undiscovered and the bomb’s countdown ends, it will automatically be activated, emitting a sound to attract the cardholder to find it.

Meanwhile, within eight hours, regardless of whether all the cards are found, all five cards will be fully activated.

Additionally, we have a certain filter for the file cards. Everyone can activate the file cards, but only the betrayers can use them to kill, and only the purifiers can use them to save.

However, 049 can both kill and save people, and due to its special nature, usage rights can be shared. 902 only needs to be activated to take effect, without needing betrayers or purifiers to use it. 096 also works post-activation without needing someone to use it; it’s lethal to all who see it except the cardholder.

That’s why there are five monster file cards, despite having only three betrayers and one purifier."

After finishing the explanation in one breath, the director closed his notebook with satisfaction and looked at them with a smile: "Isn’t it amazing?"

If you think it’s amazing, go ahead and praise our sponsor’s product.

"It’s indeed amazing, but how is this achieved? Is it manually controlled, or can this neural line auto-control itself?" Han Xizheng asked.

"It’s all pre-programmed, so even without the production team’s manual control, the entire game can run automatically."

If you add automatic card placement, the entire ruin becomes an automatic game site. With staff assistance, it’s just to enhance the show effect and prevent mishaps.

Li Yang and Guo Yin exclaimed with youthful excitement.

"Something like this? Then isn’t this a base for an apocalyptic escape game?"

The director nodded.

Guan Yu let out a long ’oh’: "I was wondering why all the games were over without seeing our sponsor’s high-end product; turns out it’s here. Truly incredible."

Indeed remarkable, what kind of tech company would apply technology in such places? This level of overkill is like using missile technology for making New Year’s firework rockets.

Could domestic or overseas escape room venues apply such movie-style technology? Of course they could, is it hard? Not too hard.

But few would do it, as such venues don’t have large audiences, the daily influx and profit wouldn’t justify the technological investment before product depreciation.

Moreover, that’s assuming you ensure the product won’t break.

High investment for low profit, if determined to pursue this, you’d need to add more chips.

For example, the attraction of popular stars.

After this show, if the production team leases this ruin to an apocalyptic movie crew, they could earn a lot.

In non-lease times, it could open as an escape game venue, and leveraging the show’s influence, the flow would certainly be large, allowing for extended profits and continued use.

Wow, impressive, my dear sponsor.

Mu Qiu thought from a professional perspective and even clapped with genuine admiration.

"Our sponsor truly takes the road less traveled."

First, there’s the self-wiping GoPro, then there’s the automated neural line for a more enjoyable ruins exploration; the Changtong Group undoubtedly knows how to better capture attention.

After the compliments to the sponsor ended, the big screen displayed the next question.

[How does Mu Qiu know so much?]

Oh, now it’s about the person?

The camera panned over.

Mu Qiu, while calculating the investment-return ratio for this episode by Changtong Group, saw the camera zoom in and smiled.

"Simple, apart from writing, I do nothing else, spending the day marveling at these bizarre things."

"I do nothing else too, and also love seeing the bizarre, so why don’t I know as much as you?" Guan Yu asked.

Mu Qiu: "What do you usually watch?"

Guan Yu: "The advanced version of The Little Mermaid, The Little Prince pinyin version, bizarre dance compendium, stories of the butler and young master’s dogs, and tales of me and the school hunk..."

Shu Ran: "Cough cough cough—"

Choking without drinking water shows how mind-boggling this is.

Mu Qiu’s gaze toward Guan Yu turned admiring, her image grew in everyone’s mind.

"Sister Guan Yu, it’s not your fault; it’s the production team failing to match your extensive reading depth."

Director: I don’t particularly want to match such depth.

Probably fearing more of Guan Yu’s "study items" being mentioned, the big screen pragmatically switched to the next question.

[Is there an order for who holds each card?]

The director stepped in to answer: "The cardholders are not pre-selected; whoever gets it, it’s theirs. But we try to prevent one person from obtaining multiple cards."

The next question.

[If no guests are aware of the SCP Foundation’s monster traits, would this episode be unplayable? After all, the Foundation is somewhat niche.]

Director: "That scenario doesn’t exist. Because before setting these monster origins, we verified from the original author’s work and trailer interviews that she knew about the Foundation."

The next question.

[Brother Huai, is the mushroom chicken ramen tasty?]

The "microphone" was passed to Shi Yuhuai.

Firmly and unabashedly, he said: "Delicious, very fragrant."

Chen Yi: "To compensate you, I’ll buy you two boxes of mushroom chicken noodles when we return."

Mu Qiu added: "Make sure they’re the bagged kind, to pursue the taste of the humble past, ensuring the taste is as delightful as today."

Guan Yu: "And also send a large stainless steel bowl."

Chen Yi nodded seriously: "Got it."

Shi Yuhuai glanced at them, turned back to the camera, and said: "But I don’t plan on eating it again. My agent wouldn’t let me."

Standing under the camera’s sunshade, Shi Yuhuai’s agent was surrounded by other agents and assistants.

Chen Song joked: "Your artist seems quite disciplined with their diet control?"

Shi Yuhuai’s agent sighed and nodded: "As long as he’s under my watch, he can maintain control."

Otherwise, however long he’s away, Shi Yuhuai would suffer stomach issues from eating too much junk.

But he wouldn’t be gone too long, because fans would find various ways to inform him that Shi Yuhuai has stomach issues again, urging him to return quickly. Thanks to the fans, Shi Yuhuai remains quite healthy and lively now.
