Chapter 479: Please Call Me by My Full Name
Obviously, the vast majority of streamers, upon hearing the five words "healing-type game," had a first reaction of refusal.
After all, the painful lesson of *Getting Over It* was still fresh in their minds. As the saying goes, "once on shore, one prays no more," but this wound hadn't even healed yet!
This was a knife to the heart, with several handfuls of salt rubbed in!
However, since so many people were spamming the request, these streamers had to seriously consider it: sacrificing themselves could gain more attention and please the audience. Maybe... they could even blow up and get on a show like *What's Wrong with the Streamer?*
Thinking about it that way, this was definitely a challenge!
The minds of some smaller streamers began to stir. Although *Getting Over It* had driven several streamers crazy back then, it had also successfully made a few of them famous!
With that in mind, many streamers still downloaded it one after another, deciding to give it a try.
...
Lin Xue's livestream room was also occupied by this group of "*Human: Fall Flat* fans."
Facing a barrage of comments demanding she play this new game, the corner of Lin Xue's mouth twitched slightly.
"Hey, you guys need to know when to stop! Last time, it was you who made me play *Getting Over It*!"
"I don't believe this is any healing-type game! This name is full of malice, okay!"
"What? Made by Chen Mo? If Chen Mo made it, I can't play it even more!"
Lin Xue was speechless. Was it that hard to just stream during the New Year? Why were they all trying to make things difficult for her?
Although she was also a loyal player of Chen Mo's games, any game of his that was labeled "healing" had never been something a normal person could play!
"Alright, stop talking. Am I that kind of person? If I say I won't play, I won't play. I, Lin Xue, keep my word!"
"Huh? Someone sent a plane? Hehehe, trying to bribe me with money? Impossible. I've always been a high-end streamer who treats money like dirt. I stream for art, for the great cause of streaming, not for gifts."
"Huh? Someone sent 10 rockets? And specifically requested that I play? Fine, I've decided to sacrifice myself for art today and study this *Human: Fall Flat*."
"It's not because of the rockets that I'm playing. I said it's for art!"
"Huh? Wait, this name of the person who sent the rockets looks familiar. Isn't this Chen Mo!"
"Chen Mo, come out here!"
Lin Xue was speechless. When she looked at the big spender who sent the rockets, wasn't this Silent? And it wasn't a fake account; clicking on it could go into Chen Mo's livestream room!
Of course, Chen Mo wasn't streaming at all right now. He was just lurking on the Moyu streaming platform, secretly observing, wanting to see if these streamers were playing his new game.
Seeing Lin Xue so hesitant, he decided to give her a little push.
Lin Xue was helpless. Why was he stirring up trouble like this?
She felt even more that this game was one of Chen Mo's schemes!
Chen Mo typed in the livestream room: "It's the New Year. Shouldn't you go home and visit often?"
The comments in the livestream room exploded. The audience's attention was no longer on Lin Xue at all; it was all focused on Chen Mo.
"MDZZ! You still have the nerve to mention the words 'go home and visit often'!"
"Haha, I fell for your trick!"
"See, exposed! How could this be a healing-type game!"
"If it's a healing-type game, why don't you play it yourself! If you've got the guts, start a livestream!"
"Yeah, if you've got the guts, start a livestream! You lazy bum!"
"Lurking and secretly watching, shameless!"
Chen Mo was helpless: "It really is a healing-type game! I'm not lying!"
Seeing that the audience didn't believe him at all, Chen Mo sighed in grief. Where had the trust between people gone?
But seeing that Lin Xue had still downloaded and opened *Human: Fall Flat*, Chen Mo smiled with relief.
He really wanted to say, this time it really is a healing-type game! I just want to collect some happiness points this time; collecting resentment points is for later!
But obviously, neither the audience nor the streamers believed him anymore...
Especially "Chen Mo's healing-type mini-games" — they had practically been blacklisted by everyone!
...
Lin Xue opened the game, feeling like Chen Mo was tricking her.
Because this game was filled with a sense of weirdness from start to finish!
As soon as she entered the game, there was a stark white interface, and the BGM was a very low, deep piano piece. It felt like traps Chen Mo had dug were everywhere.
And the moment the game screen appeared, she saw a white rubbery figure "splat" onto the screen, and she couldn't tell if it was dead or alive...
After clicking any button, the floor beneath the little figure suddenly opened, and the figure fell through the sky in free fall, occasionally forming an S shape, then a B shape...
Well, it wasn't that exaggerated, but just from the way the figure fell, it was clear that the game's physics engine was no joke.
Lin Xue strongly suspected that this was likely a physics engine even weirder than *Getting Over It*, the kind that would take ten people to hold down Newton's coffin lid...
Moreover, the image of the white rubbery figure falling endlessly made Lin Xue recall the terror of *Getting Over It* again. Just thinking about "falling" made her head ache a little...
Upon entering the game, she was defaulted to the character customization screen.
There were quite a few options to choose from: you could customize the character's appearance, hat, clothes, and color, and even freely draw on them.
Lin Xue chose a ninja outfit for herself and drew the character "snow" on the back.
"Oh ho ho! Ninja outfit! With this outfit, I hope I can climb walls a bit faster..."
Lin Xue wasn't confident. Was this going to be another mountain-climbing game like last time?
Entering the game gave two options: single-player mode or online mode.
In online mode, you could team up with friends or randomly join other people's rooms.
"Oh? There's an online mode?"
Lin Xue's eyes lit up. She felt that playing in online mode should be... a little less of a pain, right?
Even if it was very painful, playing with a few people and watching others suffer the same way should make it feel a bit better, right?
With that thought, Lin Xue didn't hesitate to choose online mode and randomly joined a room.
The game's loading method was also quite peculiar. The rubbery figure, which had been in free fall in the sky, would "splat" onto a platform once the loading was complete, and that counted as the level starting...
And three other figures landed on the platform at the same time as Lin Xue. Obviously, these three were her teammates...
Lin Xue was a black-clad ninja with the character "snow" written on her back.
Besides her, there was a little snowman, a little penguin, and a police officer in blue.
What was all this...
The police officer in blue was the funniest. His hat was deliberately painted red, and on his back was written a big character: "show"!
Lin Xue was a bit shocked and typed: "Hello."
The police officer in blue replied: "Hello, Snow."
Lin Xue was startled. How did he know my name? But then she understood. Right, she had written the character "snow" on her back!
Lin Xue typed back: "Hello to you too, Show."
The police officer in blue: "My surname is Chen. Please call me by my full name."
Lin Xue: "... Chen Show?"
The police officer in blue: "No. Please call me Chen Du Xiu."
Lin Xue: "... Okay, Chen Show."
