Bai Lixin discreetly glanced at the fox masked NPC.
For some reason, Bai Lixin always sensed a hint of excitement in Fox Mask’s voice.
Tightly gripping the movie ticket between his fingers, Bai Lixin took a deep breath and stepped inside.
‘It’s just watching a movie, right? How bad could it be? I’ll give it a try!’
As the room’s door slowly closed, Bai Lixin settled on the straw mat, and suddenly, the lights above went out.
Darkness engulfed the surroundings instantly.
Within seconds, the room echoed with the sound of scraping gravel, accompanied by an unsettling low growl that reached Bai Lixin’s ears.
The growl possessed a wild and primal nature, exuding the ferocity and killing intent of a desert grassland predator.
The sound didn’t come from any speakers; it felt like it was right next to Bai Lixin’s ear.
Bai Lixin was momentarily stunned, but then realization struck him.
His body trembled involuntarily, and in the next moment, a gust of wind swept over him, and he was pressed firmly against the withered grass.
Powerful claws effortlessly restrained his limbs, and Bai Lixin could even feel the touch of the beast’s mane brushing against his cheeks.
A hot breath escaped the beast’s wide mouth.
The opponent’s strength was overwhelming; Bai Lixin struggled, but he couldn’t break free.
A low beastly growl echoed in his ears, and in the next second, the beast’s ferocious tongue coiled around Bai Lixin’s vulnerable neck.
The tongue’s barbs, characteristic of feline creatures, scraped against his slender neck, creating a sensation akin to the swarming and gnawing of countless ants.
It was difficult to endure.
Bai Lixin fought desperately to break free, but how could the beast easily release its prey? It greedily savored the food brought to its doorstep, its large, furry mouth licking and exploring, gradually inching towards the corner of Bai Lixin’s mouth, forcibly prying his lips open.
The soft and warm mane, as well as the belly fur, concealed the young man’s slender frame.
Amidst the darkness, amidst the cries and pleas of the young man, the wild beast revealed its most ferocious nature, feasting mercilessly.
Two hours later, a knock came at the door. “Guest, an additional hour requires 5,000 points.”
The door creaked as it opened slightly, and a card was pushed through the door’s crack. Faint cries and pleas for mercy could be heard from inside, “Check the balance.”
After an unknown period of time, Bai Lixin stumbled out of VIP Room 3, his hands and feet trembling.
Fox Mask was counting the time with his head still lowered. Upon seeing Bai Lixin emerge from the room, he became enthusiastic.
“Dear guest, you have spent a total of 200,000 mall points this time, and your black card balance is now 120,000. Congratulations! Your consumption has reached the VVIP level in our cinema. From today onwards, you are a distinguished VVIP member.”
“Distinguished VVIP members enjoy numerous privileges.”
Fox Mask respectfully handed over a black card.
Bai Lixin took the card back with a blushing face.
No wonder Fox Mask earlier seemed so eager from the start. It was all about earning points.
200,000 mall points! That was a hefty sum. Who wouldn’t take advantage of such an offer?
Fox Mask looked at Bai Lixin earnestly and sincerely praised him, “Guest, you spent an astonishing 40 hours. You have surpassed our previous record holder by a significant margin. Did you know?”
Bai Lixin: “…”
They keep records of such things?
Do they have any shame?
Who cares about keeping records like that?
I’m just a customer. Shouldn’t they worry about their own profits? How audacious!
Believe it or not, I’ll complain to the Consumer Association!
Bai Lixin hurriedly took the black card and left. In his haste, as he was about to slip away quietly, thunderous applause and excitement erupted from the movie hall behind him.
“Wow, another high score!”
“Who did it?”
“It’s Little Overlord!”
Upon hearing the name “Little Overlord,” Bai Lixin suddenly stopped and followed the crowd’s voices.
A path opened up through the bustling crowd, revealing a young man with fiery red hair and an unruly hairstyle.
The young man appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen years old. Apart from his fiery red hair, he wore a tight-fitting outfit in the same shade, with a flame mark adorning his forehead. At first glance, he resembled a valiant youth from the borderlands.
He had a proud gaze and casually toyed with a lavender, crystal-clear shard in his hand as he walked out nonchalantly.
As he walked past Bai Lixin, their eyes met for a fleeting moment.
In that instant, the Little Overlord flashed an arrogant smile, and the flame on his forehead flickered and danced, as if it had a life of its own.
Bai Lixin’s gaze briefly fell on the flame on the forehead before averting his eyes.
The Little Overlord’s blood-red eyes gleamed with red light, and he approached Bai Lixin, asking, “Are you Bai Lixin?”
Bai Lixin responded politely, “Yeah, I am Bai Lixin.”
Little Overlord suddenly grinned, displaying a chilling smile that contrasted with his youthful appearance. “I know you. I’ve watched your live broadcasts, and you’re really strong. I hope we have the opportunity to team up in a copy. I want to find out who’s stronger, you or me.”
With his blood-red eyes fixed on Bai Lixin, Little Overlord awaited a response.
However, the young man showed no sign of fear in the face of his aggressive smile and words. Without changing his expression, he simply replied with a polite smile, “I hope we’ll have the chance in the future.” He appeared humble and courteous, but his nonchalant demeanor suggested he really didn’t care.
Little Overlord scrutinized the young man once more, glanced at an approaching NPC, and let out a cold snort before striding away, leaving a trail of dominance and coolness.
Bai Lixin: “…”
This kid seems to have a bit of a split personality disorder.
Well, Xia Chi is still cuter.
Speak of the devil, as soon as Bai Lixin stepped into the elevator, he received a private message from Xia Chi.
Xia Chi: [Brother, where have you been these past two days?]
Bai Lixin: [I’ve been searching for clues on the 400th floor for the past two days.]
Xia Chi: [Hey, I stayed on the 400th floor for a whole day yesterday, but I didn’t see you. There are just too many people.]
Bai Lixin: [That’s right…]
Xia Chi: “By the way, brother, have you figured out how to enter Paradise Cinema? Did you find anything on the 400th floor?”
Bai Lixin took out a lavender crystal shard from his backpack and replied, “I found a token.”
Xia Chi: [Holy shit, so you got the eighth token? As expected of my brother! How did you find it?]
Bai Lixin: [It was a gift from watching a movie, mainly due to good luck.]
There’s no need to publicize power and sex transactions.
Xia Chi:[? Does luck have anything to do with you?]
Bai Lixin: [Ahem, by the way, I found a way to enter the beta test copy.]
[The test copy is a movie theater, and we need to use the movie theater as a medium to enter that movie theater. In other words, we can enter the beta test copy through the cinema on the 400th floor. We’ll discuss the specific operation later. You gather everyone, and we can decide when to go.]
He got the token from Dijia, and of course, this method was also shared by Dijia later.
After becoming a VVIP member, one can use the movie ticket and the magnetic field of this 400-floor movie theater to enter the copy where the movie ticket is located.
To become VVIP, you need a consumption of at least 200,000 points.
Bai Lixin cursed Dijia, he always felt like he’d been tricked.
Xia Chi: [Alright, wait for me.]
As soon as Bai Lixin returned to his room on the 430th floor, he received a private chat from Xia Chi.
Xia Chi: [I asked, our side can do it anytime. Song Yuantian said their side can do it anytime too.]
Bai Lixin: [It’s already 7 o’clock in the evening, let’s do 9 o’clock tomorrow morning. Is that okay? The location is in front of the cinema on the 400th floor.]
Xia Chi: [Okay, I’ll confirm with them.]
Five minutes later, Xia Chi efficiently sent a private message to Bai Lixin: [It’s confirmed! At 9:00 tomorrow morning, we’ll be at the entrance of the cinema on the 400th floor.]
The meeting was scheduled for nine o’clock in the morning, but Bai Lixin, who was usually the most punctual, was late.
If you want to blame someone, blame the dog man. He was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow last night, and he slept until 9:10 the next day.
After quickly showering, washing, and changing clothes, Bai Lixin arrived on the 400th floor. His hair was still wet, and he seemed to be surrounded by a cloud of mist.
Several people blushed when they saw him. They had seen him so many times, but no matter how many times, they still seemed to be enchanted by his appearance.
As soon as Bai Lixin entered, everyone took out their movie tickets one after another. There weren’t many people in the morning cinema. Bai Lixin looked around and quickly spotted Fox Mask from yesterday.
Leading the group to Fox-Mask, Bai Lixin handed over two movie tickets. “We want to go to this movie theater.”
Fox Mask stared at the movie tickets for a while and then whispered, “These are ancient ticket stubs. I’m afraid there are only a few left in the world. They will be out of print once they’re used up. Are you sure you want to use them?”
Bai Lixin replied, “I am willing to use them.”
Fox Mask scanned the others with his double crescent-like eyes and asked, “What about you?”
At his question, the others responded one by one.
Emil was reluctant, but he also said “yes.”
Hearing everyone’s affirmative answers, Fox Mask respectfully bowed and said, “Okay then, guests, please follow me.”
It was that long corridor again, but this time Fox Mask didn’t stop at VIP Room 3. He kept moving forward until reaching the deepest point.
It was a dilapidated studio with dusty red seats and swirling spider webs overhead.
The index finger of Fox Mask pointed towards the huge gray screen. “Guests, please take your movie tickets and stand in front of the big screen.”
Everyone didn’t know what would happen next. Just like every time they entered the copy, everything was unknown, creating a sense of vague fear.
And because this time they were going to a more mysterious and weird beta test copy, the tension was even worse.
Everyone took a deep breath and slowly lined up in front of the huge screen.
The next moment, a fiery bright light illuminated everyone.
Fox Mask was not far away, but hus voice suddenly became distant and ethereal. “Guests, walk slowly all the way. We look forward to your return.”
Everyone’s feet trembled as they felt dizzy from the strong light and Fox Mask’s voice.
When they regained their senses, they found themselves sitting in front of a huge movie theater.
The crowd was sparsely scattered in the middle of the cinema, and there was no one else present.
The huge movie theater was empty and quiet. The high ceiling was adorned with crisscrossed steel bars, creating an impression of being trapped in a strange cage.
Bai Lixin glanced at his seat number: Row 4 and seat 4.
The next seat, Row 4 and Seat 5, was empty.
Several other people also sat in their designated seats.
According to usual practice, the system’s voice rang out.
[Ding! All players are welcome to enter the copy [Paradise Cinema], and the number of players will be detected below.]
[The current number of players is eleven…ten, uh…nine.]
[Let’s start the background introduction of the copy.]
[Paradise Cinema was once a place filled with laughter and happiness. However, since that incident, Paradise Cinema has gradually declined. Fear and dread have permeated every corner, causing the cinema to fall into ruin.]
[However, the owner of Paradise Cinema couldn’t bear to see the destruction. He cursed those who destroyed the cinema and prayed for a perfect curtain call at the end of the cinema.]
[And you will be the most crucial protagonists in this curtain call.]
[During the game, you will be sent to a random movie. Please strictly adhere to the characters’ settings in the movie. Do not let the movie characters discover any differences. Perform the entire movie perfectly while ensuring that your identities remain concealed.]
[Once your identity as “outsiders” is discovered, the movie will be judged as ‘imperfect.’ If it‘s judged as ‘imperfect,’ you will be trapped in the movie forever and unable to leave.]
[Ding! Attention, the master of Paradise Cinema is coming.]
The system’s final sentence instantly heightened everyone’s alertness. They looked forward together and saw an old man dressed as a gentleman standing in front of the big screen.
The old man wore a tall gentleman’s hat from the 18th century, and he held a cane in his right hand, pointing it elegantly towards the ground.
“Oh, dear audience,” the old man said with an excited expression as he put on his hat, “I didn’t expect so many audience members to witness the curtain call of Paradise Cinema today. I am very grateful. I am looking forward to the most perfect curtain close!”
The old man raised his cane and lightly tapped the white curtain behind him.
With his tapping, the dark curtain instantly lit up, revealing a picture of a lush green virgin forest in front of everyone.
As the opening song played, the words “The Mad Python” appeared on the screen.
“Ah, Sister Cancan and Brother Zhou Guang are gone!” Xia Chi’s voice drew everyone’s attention. They looked over and realized that Li Cancan and Zhou Guang, who were sitting next to them just a second ago, had disappeared.
As the camera progressed, more than a dozen people suddenly ran out of the jungle, fleeing in a hurry. A giant snake several meters thick chased after them.
The crowd squinted their eyes as they watched the screen and surprisingly discovered the figures of Li Cancan and Zhou Guang among these people.
The old man stared at the screen for a few seconds and nodded in satisfaction, “Looks alright. Let’s continue.”
With that, he tapped the white screen again.
At this moment, the group also understood that entering the movie didn’t mean they would enter the same movie together, but rather different movies.
If they entered the same movie together, the chances of coordinating would be greater.
But now, it seemed that the difficulty of clearing the copy had increased.
As the old man tapped, the image on the white screen suddenly changed.
The originally lush green forest turned into a pitch-black deep sea, with a tattered sail pirate ship drifting alone on it.
The four big characters “Skull of Misfortune” slowly appeared in the middle of the screen.
Bai Lixin looked around, and this time, Xia Chi and Liang Xi had disappeared.
As time passed, the grim-looking pirates brought several hostages onto the deck, and among them were Xia Chi and Liang Xi.
Poor Xia Chi and Liang Xi, their faces turned pale with fear.
The old man seemed very satisfied with the performance of Xia Chi and Liang Xi. He chuckled gleefully, his laughter sounding as dry as an ugly duckling, “Very convincing!”
Bai Lixin: “…”
Believe me, there’s absolutely nothing staged about that.
Bai Lixin discreetly glanced at the fox masked NPC.
For some reason, Bai Lixin always sensed a hint of excitement in Fox Mask’s voice.
Tightly gripping the movie ticket between his fingers, Bai Lixin took a deep breath and stepped inside.
‘It’s just watching a movie, right? How bad could it be? I’ll give it a try!’
