Chapter 4

It didn't take Ye Xu much time to explore the cruise ship. Although the cruise ship was very big, it was enough for Ye Xu to explore the place to be explored in half a day. After all, he only needs to walk in the corridor, and does not need to enter every room.

Comparing with the map on the brochure in the room, Ye Xu quickly wrote down the location of each entertainment facility, but he did not rashly enter the entertainment facility to check. There should be danger in these places, and it is better not to go in or not.

In the afternoon, Ye Xu returned to his room, found a pen, and circled several entertainment facilities from the list.

These are what he guessed that players should experience within ten days, including duty-free shops, gyms, movie theaters, etc.

As a common scene in horror novels, the cinema naturally goes without saying. The gym is a place where accidents are prone to occur, and it is a very suitable place for players to "accidentally die". The duty-free shop corresponds to the pitiful 500 yuan in their hands. Since they gave the money, it must be spent.

This cruise trip, forcing them to experience the project, is nothing more than that the project is dangerous or that there are traps in the project.

Ye Xu carefully memorized the locations of the several places he had guessed, as well as any suitable places to hide in the vicinity, in case of emergencies. After doing this, the sky will be dark and night will come.

In order to avoid walking outside at night, Ye Xu hurriedly took the meal ticket to the nearest restaurant and settled the dinner.

He didn't know if there were unforeseen dangers on the cruise ship at night, but it was definitely safer in the room than in the seemingly resplendent corridor outside. In the past, he has also participated in the game world and has his own room. And that experience taught him that as long as he did what the rules stipulated, then he was absolutely safe in his room.

Not long after Ye Xu returned to his room, it was completely dark. Ye Xu looked at his watch and couldn't sleep at the moment. Thinking that he didn't have time to look through the room before, he decided to start rummaging now.

The luggage that the game prepares for the player is just a pitifully small backpack, which contains a watch and a diary that have been found before, as well as two sets of changed clothes.

Ye Xu sorted out the clothes and hung them up. This is a set of casual clothes and a set of dresses, indicating what ceremonies or gatherings they might participate in later. There were only a few random records in the diary, followed by a large blank page, but in the few occasions, Ye Xu provided some dispensable background information.

The first diary entry was a month ago. The owner of the diary accidentally participated in a lottery and obtained a cruise experience ticket, which allowed him to experience a ten-day cruise for free. This is the third prize of the lottery, a total of 150 lucky winners have won this prize. And heard that the cruise they are going to is a very luxurious cruise, it is definitely worth the trip. As a poor and unemployed, he is very excited and looking forward to this cruise.

The second diary is that five days later, he received a ticket from the organizer. Because of his excitement and anticipation, he checked some relevant information about the cruise ship in advance, and wanted to see what interesting facilities were on the cruise ship. As a result, he discovered that the cruise number on the ticket was the same as a cruise ship that had been missing for several years. But he didn't care, he didn't think the cruise ship he was going to was the missing cruise ship, he just thought it was a coincidence. But inevitably, the original owner felt a little unlucky, and it happened to have the same name as the missing cruise ship.

The third diary was seven days ago. He said that he had often had nightmares recently, and that there were absurd and bizarre entertainment facilities in his dreams, and these facilities often killed people. In the dream, there were also tourists dressed in costumes but with distorted faces. One second ago, they were chatting and chatting in the banquet hall, and the next second, they suddenly opened their bloody mouths and started chasing and killing him.

He thought that his dreams were influenced by previous events, because he heard that a cruise ship with the same name disappeared, so he couldn't help dreaming about the ghost ship. He repeatedly described the absurd scenes in the dream in his diary several times later, but he never took it seriously. He only felt that he had never been to a cruise ship, so he was both looking forward to and terrified of the upcoming trip. He blamed his panic on being too poor and afraid of making jokes after going on a cruise.

Flip through the diary, nothing important. However, Ye Xu still speculated between the lines that players would indeed participate in events similar to banquets and would need to dress up to attend. During the banquet, those NPC tourists would suddenly attack and start chasing the players.

Ye Xu opened the brochure and quickly found several places where the banquet could be held, and marked the nearby hiding places with a pen. However, he felt that this move did not necessarily have much effect. No one knew whether ghosts could pass through walls or not, and it might be of little use to hide.

In addition, the diary also revealed that he went to see a movie in his dream and played a game in the video game city. But when watching a movie, the movie never ends, the popcorn never ends, and the drink never ends, which makes him feel very uncomfortable. As for his experience in the video game hall, he lost a mess, spent all the game coins, and was stared at by a woman to pay back the money, which was very annoying.

Ye Xu felt that this might be a hint.

Although it was not clear for the time being what it was for, he still took it down seriously.

There was nothing useful in the rest of the room. Ye Xu flipped through it three times. After confirming that he had found all the props, he did not choose to look again. Instead, he went into the bathroom to wash up, and lay on the bed tiredly to rest.

There is a new task tomorrow, and he has to keep his spirits up.

After a night of no dreams, Ye Xu was woken up by the radio on time the next day.

"All players are requested to gather on the deck within half an hour and follow the tour guide to experience the various entertainment facilities on the cruise ship."

"All players please..."

"All players please..."

With the same words as yesterday, Ye Xu, who had just woken up, pressed his beating heart and stared at the loudspeaker irritably. He was falling asleep, and the broadcast almost didn't scare him out of a heart attack.

Ye Xu wiped his face and resignedly got up to wash up, he didn't have time to procrastinate.

The room still maintained the appearance after he rummaged through yesterday, a little messy. If not, Ye Xu would suspect that he was caught in an infinite loop and returned to the morning of the first day. After all, what this broadcast said was not a single word different from the last time.

After half an hour to wash up and go downstairs to gather, definitely don't have time to eat breakfast. don't know if the female players have enough time to wash and toss, anyway, Ye Xu brushed his teeth and washed his face at will, scratched his hair in front of the mirror and left.

On the way, also met a few dear friends who were stunned, all of them looked like they were not getting enough sleep, their eyes were dull, and they were yawning.

Ye Xu reached out and touched the contents in his pocket, and found a room card, a meal ticket, and a few banknotes. These were the few props he had, and although he wasn't sure if he would use the money today, he brought them all out. If go to the duty-free shop to buy something today, will be embarrassed if have no money, and have to go back to get it again, which is a waste of time.

The stomach started to growl again, and now there is nothing important to eat.

This time, the tour guide was no longer the last one to come. She stood directly on the deck and waited for the player to arrive. When the time is up, don't care about those who haven't come yet, just take people and leave.

She didn't count the number of people, but Ye Xu didn't have the ability to see how many people came at a glance, so he didn't know if there were all of them. If there are still people who don't come, even if there is no accident, it is estimated that they may not be able to find out what the experience project is today, and the experience tasks will not be able to be done by then, which is even worse.

"Today we are going to the duty-free shop." The tour guide did not look like a serious tour guide at all. He spoke very little, and did not introduce the items on the boat and the background story of the boat to attract tourists. She quickly brought everyone to the door of the duty-free shop. Pointing at the store, he said, "Please visit the shop for at least half an hour."

Ye Xu kept his mind, he felt that it was impossible to just walk around for half an hour. Since everyone came to the store, there was no reason not to buy things. But the tour guide didn't say that everyone should buy things. Either there is no such rule, or the tour guide digs a hole for everyone, just like yesterday's watch incident.

Ye Xu would rather believe it was the latter. After all, these NPCs are too pitiful, and wish the player could not complete the mission.

Obviously, Ye Xu was not alone in thinking this way. Several players subconsciously touched their pockets, and they should have brought money out.

More than a hundred people filed in, then quickly dispersed, and "seriously" strolled around the duty-free shop.

Ye Xu's first concern was the price, and he found that everything here was very expensive. It's not that duty-free shops on cruise ships deliberately raise prices, but that there are only expensive goods here, not cheap ones. After visiting two shelves, the cheapest box of facial masks cost more than 300 yuan, and he only had 500 yuan.

He didn't think that these commodities would have any effect on the game after they were bought. These commodities were obviously ordinary commodities, not props that could resist ghosts. Ye Xu was reluctant to spend money here, because the following game arcade activities obviously needed to be exchanged for game coins, and the movie theater activities might have to buy popcorn and drinks by himself.

Of course, it would be great if the NPC offered it, but would the NPC be so kind?

Ye Xu touched the five hundred yuan in his pants and felt the pressure of life.

It's nice to have money.

He immediately decided not to take the initiative and waited for others to test it. He was hanging out near the door, looking like he was looking at the goods, but he was actually looking at the tour guide at the door from the corner of his eye, waiting for other players to ask the tour guide for a meal ticket.

According to Ye Xu's speculation, the meal ticket they got yesterday should only be valid for one day, so they had to complete the task every day to get a new meal ticket. Although Ye Xu didn't go to the restaurant with the old meal ticket to try it, these were all routines and it was easy to guess.

Besides, there is a restaurant downstairs anyway, he will try it later to see if he can use it.
