Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 165 - 164: Gorgeous Cage 11 (Triggered Personal Monster)
The barrage of comments in the virtual world couldn’t sit still anymore.
[What’s going on? Is Tian Caiji doing this on purpose? Why has she been performing like this lately? She used to sing so well, and her dancing was full of energy!]
[I’d like to know too, and at this level, she’s clearly not as good as the others, might as well carve the word "scandal" on the stage.]
[Was she lip-syncing all along?]
[Damn, I’ve tipped her a lot of money!]
[I don’t understand. Is this a deliberate revenge on the netizens? Her singing and dancing are painfully bad!]
[Speechless, after watching the performance, I suddenly think she’s really ugly!]
[Ugly monster! Get off the stage and let someone capable perform!]
[Exactly, dancing like that and still pushing other more talented streamers off the stage, doesn’t she realize how poor her skills are?]
As these comments appeared, Josh witnessed a scene that was unimaginable.
The comments floated out from the screen, gradually solidifying, forming into something resembling a giant battle armor, and it slowly stood up, its figure growing larger, its eyes filled with obvious hostility, locking onto Josh on stage.
Josh: "???" Is this thing actually real?
Others seemed unaware of these things, even when it stomped on the ground, causing a slight tremor, no one else reacted at all.
What’s going on?
Josh furrowed her brow slightly.
Yuze followed her gaze and looked back, seeing nothing but an empty space.
Rob also noticed something unusual: "Did she trigger that monster?"
Yuze nodded: "Seems like it."
He opened the system panel and sent Josh a message: [This is a special monster in the dungeon. When this world’s network attacks you, those harsh words will summon a monster to attack you, and you can retaliate with the same attacking method.]
[This is your personal monster, no one can help you defeat it.]
Josh quickly caught on to what he meant.
She picked up the microphone: "Regarding the doubts in the comments, I’d like to say a few words, is that okay?"
The three commentators naturally didn’t dare to disagree, after all, this was God R’s top nominee for the scandal.
Who would dare to say no? Only these clueless netizens still think they’re monitoring the event for the rice activity.
A bunch of idiots.
Josh took the microphone: "For those in the comments saying my singing and dancing are bad, I think everyone has their own aesthetic. You can’t demand others to lower their standards to appreciate such low-quality performances as "pigs climbing trees" with you."
As her words fell, she could distinctly feel something drifting out from her body, as if her soul had left, experiencing a split in consciousness.
Half of her was on stage holding the microphone, speaking out, while the other half was floating in the air, with her words solidifying around her to form a giant battle armor enveloping her.
Those below didn’t seem to detect anything unusual, their eyes fixed on the stage.
Josh sat in the battle armor as a floating keyboard appeared before her.
As the other her spoke below, the her in the armor naturally raised her hands to type these retorts on the keyboard.
Lines of text floated out from the keyboard, merging into the armor, making it stronger and stronger.
The two sides began to brawl.
[You can’t even sing nicely and won’t let others talk about it?]
Josh: "A boar can’t eat fine chaff. You can’t appreciate this artful singing style one bit."
[How ridiculous, is this a country hick coming to the city? Haven’t you seen the world? Didn’t you see many people singing way better?]
Josh chuckled: "I really haven’t seen the world, not only seeing a country hick coming to the city but also seeing a hick typing online, cursing people in a barrage. Do you find that novel?"
As the battle ensued,
The worried expressions on Yuze and Rob’s faces grew more and more evident below.
This thing was not easy to handle.
The verbal sparring was intense.
The two giant battle armors clashed in the air, sparks flying, neither side giving in.
Josh, in the battle armor, was shaken back and forth before finally steadying herself.
This was her first time experiencing such a virtual battle, relying solely on verbal sparring to fight.
It was truly thrilling.
In the end, Josh prevailed.
When it comes to verbal sparring, she’s never lost, right?
Josh bowed to thank everyone, set down the microphone, and left the stage. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
The expressions of Xue Guo and his group were extremely unpleasant, especially Susanna.
Josh and Yuze, along with others, left the scene and logged out of the game.
Yuze and Rob both stared at her intently.
Josh: "... What?"
Rob looked at her nervously: "Are you alright?"
Josh patted his shoulder: "Don’t worry, I’m fine. I won."
"Won... won?" A hint of surprise flickered in Rob’s eyes, obviously shocked that she could win this.
Josh’s mouth twitched: "What? Just because I’m not useless, doesn’t mean I can’t beat this thing?"
The inadvertently insulted Yuze and Rob: "..."
Josh squinted her eyes: "No way? You’ve never won?"
Rob: "..."
Josh’s gaze turned curious: "You can’t even beat this?"
Yuze’s mouth twitched: "Alright, don’t be arrogant. What you triggered might just be a small boss. There are bigger monsters later, so be cautious."
Josh recalled seeing the live barrage when entering the dungeon, curious: "You’ve been in this dungeon before? Never won?"
Rob didn’t want to entertain her: "..."
Josh found it odd, wondering: "Actually, I’ve always had a question. If our dungeon ends and a replay is released, wouldn’t people just copy the answers when others attempt it again?"
Yuze looked at her with amusement: "If it were that simple, wouldn’t the value of dungeons after the first clearance be non-existent?"
Josh didn’t understand.
Rob explained beside her: "You didn’t know this? Players can only see replay videos of dungeons they’ve already cleared."
"For instance, once we’ve cleared ’Horror Hospital,’ we can see all the replays related to this dungeon, including the completion processes of other players. But for those dungeons we haven’t cleared, their replay videos and review functions are locked. You need to clear them to unlock these features."
Josh suddenly understood, finally comprehending the situation.
But that’s odd...
Josh became more puzzled: "With so many viewers in the live stream, don’t they see it too?"
Yuze chuckled: "So what? Dungeons in the game don’t stay the same forever. If every edition of dungeons were the same, why would new contestants bother exploring them? Just study the previous edition’s strategy for instant spoilers, right?"
Josh nodded: "Yeah, I was puzzled about that."
Rob explained: "The instances in the God Creation Game update quickly, with tens of thousands of new dungeons being generated each day. High-level players tend to choose new dungeons to clear first for rewards."
