Doomsday Wonderland Vol. 12: New Game Launch [Complete]

1384: There's Nothing in the Room

Even though everyone knew that venting their anger at the masked volunteer was useless, when his words fell, someone still rushed out from behind Lin Sanjiu, shouting, "So, it was your doing!"

She turned back to look, hurriedly reaching out to stop Nu Yue. The masked volunteer hastily retreated two steps, coughed, and said, "I had no choice. You can't attack volunteers."

"Welcome to this new game launch!" said a cheerful female voice, causing everyone in the room to freeze.

As Lin Sanjiu looked up, she realized that the content of the projection on the wall had changed. The projector also had a speaker installed; a fresh-colored, chubby cartoon character bounced onto the wall, laughing. "This game is interesting. I think everyone will enjoy it."

A cartoon elephant slowly walked into the frame. It had bright round eyes and ears and could even be described as somewhat cute—if you ignored the numerous human eyes covering its body.

"After the release is over, please go in that direction," the cartoon girl said, gesturing. Everyone's gaze followed, landing on a door at the other end of the room that had appeared at some point.

Lin Sanjiu heard a slight "hmm?" from Ji Shanqing.

"Go out through that door, and you'll enter the room where the game field is located. Everyone must be present when the game starts. If you have any questions, you can ask the volunteers on site."

The volunteer, who was now quite far away, nodded.

"After entering the game room, you'll find a row of backpacks on the ground," The cartoon girl said and turned around, revealing the backpack on her back. "Each backpack represents a job; please choose one each. You must continuously do the corresponding work to sustain your survival. If you don't work for three consecutive days, you will experience literal, physiological death."

Even though they all looked grim, everyone was silently listening.

"The game's goal is to find the exit and leave the room," said the cartoon girl, turning back and raising a finger in warning. "Be aware your abilities or power may not always be effective in the room. If you provoke a retaliation, you will suffer irresistible physical damage inside the room."

Provoke retaliation from whom? Suffer physical harm from whom?

Lin Sanjiu felt something was missing in the cartoon girl's explanation, and she'd probably have to keep listening to fully understand. She stared at the projection on the wall, only to see the cartoon girl bow and laugh.

"So, the game launch ends here, and the game will start in one minute. Please rush to the game room."

While Lin Sanjiu was taken aback, someone had already blurted out, "What? Just like that?"

"Strange," Han Suiping mumbled. "What's the purpose of that elephant?"

Nu Yue's anger from earlier surged even higher. She asked the masked volunteer, "Is this new game launch just that little bit of information? Do we just need to go into that room, work with the backpacks, find the exit, and leave?"

The masked volunteer raised his hand like a traffic director, gesturing for everyone to quickly approach the door. "Don't waste any more time, or there will be a penalty. All I can tell you is that the main rules of the game, whether explicitly stated or implied, are all included in the new game launch."

Lin Sanjiu subconsciously looked at the grand prize—his brow was deeply furrowed.

"As far as I know, there will also be some text prompts in the game room to help you adapt to the game quickly... Alright, you should hurry in," the masked volunteer said as he opened the door for them.
