However, this game had more than one ending.
The original version had six different endings, and the remake version of the system might have more endings. Different understandings and progressions would trigger different endings, just like how each person had a different Silent Hill in their minds. Fang Qi just played one of them.
Of course, different people would experience different mental strength increases from the game according to their base level. For example, people like Song Qingfeng and Shen Qingqing whose mental strengths were not high wouldn't reach Nalan Hongwu's level after playing the game. As for the players who had high levels of mental strengths, their mental strength would also increase after playing the game.
While showing the mental journey of redemption, this game also toughened the players' minds since it helped the players remove their internal evils and twisted dark emotions.
As for its degree of horror, it was different for different players.
For the cultivators who had high mental strength and no internal evils such as An Huwei and Xue Daolv, they found this game thrilling and weird, but not too scary.
Su Tianji would get scared occasionally, but she enjoyed playing it.
However, it was a bit different for most of the disciples from the academies.
"Junior... Junior Sister Luo, shall we play Silent Hill today?!" At the entrance of the internet cafe, Ye Fenghuo from Xiyi Academy shivered uncontrollably while he asked.
"As elite disciples from our academy, we must have both high-level cultivation strength and outstanding courage!" Ying Zongxuan said in dignity with a cold expression.
"Senior... Senior Brother Ying..." Luo Yun who had just finished watching Fang Qi's livestream glanced at him."How come your back is soaked in sweat..."
Ying Zongxuan: "..."
...
- Two days earlier -
Although the people in this world had never played horror games or imagined such weird worlds, they began playing Silent Hill under Fang Qi's encouragement and guidance.
Meanwhile, Fang Qi received a new task.
[New Task: Binge-Watching TV Dramas in this World 2
Task Progress: 200 activations of Silent Hill 2
Task Reward: Wind and Cloud (Feng Yun) TV series]
On that day, the activation number was only about 100.
...
When Fang Qi finished the livestream of Silent Hill 2 two days later with shaky legs, he glanced at the activation number and found that it had skyrocketed to 168.
Since Fang Qi had broadcast the ending of the game, the number of players began to rise.
"Hu..." Fang Qi exhaled deeply.
He had split the livestream of the whole game over three days, but the process was still torturous!
At the beginning of today, he had to jump into the deep, pitch-black underground tunnels. In the whole process, he had his heart in his throat.
[Due to the host's hard work, there was a great rise in revenue. Special Bonus: Game Cultivation Room: 3 days]
Fang Qi asked, "I have to enter hell-like training after just coming out of the horror game. Is it really what you want me to do? Is this called a bonus?!"
The System replied, [The host doesn't have to enter the Game Cultivation Room, the next task has to be completed. ]
"Another task?!" Fang Qi gaped at the System Interface.
[New Task: Building Internet
Task Target: Open branches in new and unknown places and build an internet
Task Reward: Godly weapon fragment
Task Time Limit: 40 days
Additional bonus: Cross-regional teleportation (Usage: once）
Failure Punishment: Find a new host]
Fang Qi: "..."
"Seriously? After working together for so long, how can you even think about dumping me?" Fang Qi asked, "Can another host play games as well as I do? Is the next person going to make as much crystals as I do? Without enough crystals, aren't you going to starve? What if you miss me?"
System, [... ]
Knowing that the System wouldn't answer these questions, Fang Qi waved his hand and said, "Then, tell me what the so-called godly weapon fragment is?"
[They can be combined to create godly weapons. ] The System replied, [For example, three godly weapon fragments can create a Wuchen Sword. ]
"What about the cross-regional teleportation..." Fang Qi asked, "How can I get back?"
The System answered, [After your privileges increase, you can build a teleportation array between different shops. ]
"Just... like those in Diablo?" Fang Qi remembered that the System had replicated everything in Diablo.
Besides Diablo, even this world with cultivators had teleportation arrays. However, Fang Qi guessed that they must be very rare since even Nalan Hongwu and Xue Daolv hadn't mentioned this topic.
...
"The shop owner is awesome!"
"He played to the end!" At this moment, some players had just reached the Otherworld, and even the fastest players hadn't finished the game yet.
Even though they had watched the whole story, the game was still scary. Even Fang Qi found that it was way scarier than playing it with only mouse and keyboard.
After all, when he played the original version of Silent Hill, he used to tease those monsters...
After watching Fang Qi's livestream, the players savored it and got prepared to play it themselves
As for those who missed this livestream, they had to ask others about the key points or explore themselves.
"Er-hem!" A dignified middle-aged man in a yellow robe stood in the alleyway in front of the internet cafe.
The man had a square face and bright eyes. Standing with his hands clasped behind him, he looked tall, proud, and dignified.
"This is the place!" Behind him, an old servant said in a high-pitched voice. He had a pink complexion and white beard. Despite his old look, his eyes were bright and showed energy.
"Remember, I'm here for a visit in disguise, " the man in the yellow robe said, "Don't make it a big deal."
"I got it!" The old servant replied respectfully.
"I'll see how magical this shop really is, and why the premiers and the generals kept praising it!"
...
- Meanwhile at the border of Dajin -
It was raining.
A huge spiritual boat flew from the distance.
In the gloomy sky, lightning flashed occasionally, but they had no impact on the spiritual boat which was engulfed in a layer of spirit light.
When it flew in the sky, even the huge demonic bird didn't dare to get close to it, let alone ordinary birds!
Wearing a luxurious white robe embroidered with gold threads, a young man with a cold expression stood at the bow of the boat and stared at the city ahead of him expressionlessly.
He looked to be in his twenties, but his eyes, expression, and behavior didn't match his young age.
Instead, he oozed a coldness that few people could understand.
"Here is Dajin."
