"When did the popularity break twenty thousand? If I remember correctly, there were only ten or so people in the livestream. " Chen Ge raised his phone. The signal was bad, and the chat was lagging. Most of the time, there would not be a single comment, and the next moment, there would be a flood of comments.
"More than twenty thousand popularity, and less than five thousand subscriptions. This conversion rate is quite low." He took out his phone and snapped pictures of the few pieces of paper that he had played the Pen Spirit game on earlier. Then, he pointed the camera at the broken ballpoint pen in the middle of the chair. "Fellow viewers, do you see this? I played the Pen Spirit game until the pen committed suicide! Aren't you going to follow me? Do you know how big of a risk I've taken? A small streamer like me, without equipment or a team, has to wander around the edge of danger on my own. I know my equipment is bad, and I can't even see your comments, but I can lead you through the most realistic supernatural experience. This experience is unique and cannot be replicated. "
After saying that, the number of viewers in the livestream started to rise. Chen Ge's words had some effect.
For him, he was just following the mission given by the black phone, but it was different for his viewers.
Especially when compared to Qin Guang, even though Chen Ge's equipment was poor, the content of his livestream was incomparable, be it in terms of entertainment or danger.
Watching a livestream was a novel experience. Qin Guang had already written the script and hired actors, so no matter how good the acting was, it would still look stiff. Chen Ge, on the other hand, was different. Even he had no idea what was going to happen next.
"Thank you for your support. This is the Pen Spirit game. Non-professionals are not allowed to imitate it. Alright, it's time for us to move on." Chen Ge looked at his popularity that was still rising, and his heart was blooming with joy. After all, he was going to carry out these missions under the black phone's arrangement, so he might as well make the most of these missions and squeeze out their hidden value, turning the process of carrying out the missions into popularity.
"I wonder what's happening in the livestream, but it's good that my popularity is increasing. At least the risk was worth it." After completing one side mission easily, Chen Ge was more confident about surviving that night.
He put on his raincoat and hat and walked out of the dormitory. He had already searched the place, so there was no need to stay any longer.
"There are three missions left. The last classroom, the deep well, and the fifth cubicle in the toilet."
The fifth cubicle should also be in the teaching block. He had been to the dormitory's toilet earlier, and there were only four cubicles. If the layout of the office building and the dormitory building were the same, then only the teaching block's toilet fit the mission description.
Chen Ge glanced at his phone. He had arrived at Mu Yang High School at 8 pm. The Pen Spirit game should not have taken that long, but when he glanced at his watch, it was already 9 pm.
"There are still three hours until midnight. Three hours to complete three missions, barely enough." Chen Ge had already made a plan in his heart. After completing all the side quests, he would find a corner where he could attack or retreat and hide quietly until dawn.
When he stood at the entrance to the education block again, Chen Ge had a strange feeling. It felt like he was not standing in the ruins of a building but a giant coffin that buried countless people.
"The side mission did not specify the exact location of the toilet. The education block has three floors, so the fifth cubicle on each floor could be my mission target." Chen Ge used the flashlight to illuminate the way, and his other hand held the phone as he entered the building.
Walking past an empty classroom in the middle of the night was a scary thing in and of itself. Chen Ge was afraid that if he looked into the classroom, he might find something strange inside the classroom.
He ran to the end of the corridor and crawled into the first-floor toilet.
The fire had not spread that far, and the toilet looked like it had several years ago. The tiles were cracked, and weeds were growing from them.
There were brown stains on the walls, and there was only one window left. It creaked noisily in the wind and rain.
"The mission is more important. I can't waste it."
The education block's toilet had six cubicles in total. After so many years, many of the cubicle doors had been damaged. Without pushing them open, Chen Ge could see the things inside the cubicles.
Holding the mallet, he walked past the six cubicles. The first four cubicles looked normal, but there was something wrong with the fifth and sixth cubicles.
The doors of these two cubicles were tightly shut. Chen Ge pushed lightly, and the door was locked.
"Normally, the cubicles will only be locked when there's someone inside." As soon as the thought appeared in his mind, Chen Ge rejected it. "The school has been abandoned for three years, so there's a chance that it's not a 'person' hiding inside. I'll take a look first."
He raised the mallet and smashed it on the lock. The cubicle door opened, and before Chen Ge could react, several shadows leaped at him.
"What is that?"
He dodged them and shone his flashlight on them. The cubicle was filled with mops and brooms.
After a false alarm, Chen Ge placed the mops and brooms on the ground and leaned against the door to take a look. The last cubicle was also filled with trash.
The six cubicles on the first floor looked normal, so his mission target should be on the other floors.
After exiting the first-floor toilet, Chen Ge turned back to look with uncertainty. The few cubicles in the toilet were half-closed like someone was waving at him.
"If this scene was placed inside a Haunted House, it would definitely scare away a lot of people," Chen Ge thought as he carried the mallet to the second-floor toilet.
The layout was the same, but the difference was that the windows of the second-floor toilet were sealed shut. Entering it, Chen Ge felt more suffocating than the first-floor toilet.
"This can't be the place, right?"
Perhaps because the windows were sealed shut, the second-floor toilet was perfectly preserved. It had not changed much compared to several years ago.
He walked to the door of the first cubicle. Before he pushed the door open, he heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside.
Due to the heavy rain, Chen Ge could not hear it clearly. "Someone's running in the corridor?"
He hid at the corner of the toilet and squatted for several minutes with the mallet, but he did not see anything strange.
"It feels like as time moves on, the school is slowly changing like it's coming back to life. Looks like I'll have to hurry."
Chen Ge did not hesitate anymore. He entered the toilet and pushed open the first four cubicles. When he stood outside the door of the fifth cubicle, footsteps came from the corridor again. This time, he could hear it clearly. It was two people walking side by side.
