“It was his first day at work, and Jiang Huan was still a little nervous. ”

“This was because Zhou Peng had told him before that the main job of a tester was to test those “”experience”” games, and a large number of them were horror games. In other words, they used various methods to stimulate the various emotions of players, and from there, they assessed whether these games would have any negative effects on ordinary players and whether they could be promoted on a large scale. ”

“If not, then he might have to make some adjustments to the game. ”

“However, Jiang Huan wasn’t particularly worried about these things because he felt that his mental strength was still quite good. He wouldn’t be scared to the point of peeing his pants by horror games. ”

“Moreover, since he had passed the specialized test, it meant that he should have no problem. After all, the passing rate of this test was only 15%. ”

“After Jiang Huan sat down at his desk, Zhou Peng gave Jiang Huan a general introduction of the basic work flow and then went to do his own things. ”

“Simply put, it was to experience the game in the game cabin, and then the system would automatically generate the corresponding data. Not only did the tester have to get through, but they also had to Play N rounds. ”

“All these data would be automatically summarized by the system, and the game would be automatically recorded. ”

“At the same time, the system would screen out the parts where the tester’s emotions were fluctuating violently or abnormal (which was different from the AI system’s expectations). The tester had to state his thoughts and feelings at the time. If he felt that the design was unreasonable, he could write down what he thought was wrong. ”

“It looked like a simple job, but during the one-month trial period, the artificial intelligence system and other experienced testers would check Jiang Huan’s work to see if he could meet the requirements. ”

“Besides, this job didn’t just require you to be serious enough. Being serious was only one aspect. The more important thing was to be different from others. ”

“This was because the selected testers were basically all different types of people with different psychological qualities. Some were not interested in horror games, some were more sensitive to touching plots, and some had slight personality defects … ”

“In other words, the examiners represented different personalities. There was no need for so many examiners of the same type. Therefore, the key to deciding whether or not they could stay was whether or not they could display different characteristics from the other examiners. ”

“As for what this special trait was, it could only be discovered during work. ”

Jiang Huan checked the computer and found that all the testing programs were normal. He lay down in the game cabin uneasily.

“It wasn’t his first time in the gaming pod, but he didn’t play many VR games because he was poor. ”

“””So, the game we’re trying out this week is … Resident Evil?”” ”

“””It does sound like a horror game, but it shouldn’t be difficult for me.”” ”

Jiang Huan was not blindly confident. He knew that he was a person with slow senses.

“Not only was he sensitive to fear, but he was also slow to sense other feelings. For example, when he was watching a touching movie, the whole cinema was crying, and he was the only one who was confused. While watching a play, everyone else was convulsing with laughter. He was the only one who was dumbfounded. Wait. ”

“It was the same when watching horror movies. Even if it was those publicly acknowledged horrifying opening-and-killing scenes that made many people scream in fear, he didn’t feel anything. ”

“This slow reaction brought him a lot of trouble. For example, one of his ex-girlfriends said that he was “”cold and heartless”” and not like a living person. However, Jiang Huan didn’t think it was a big deal. Why did everyone have to be emotional? ”

“However, on second thought, this might be one of the reasons why he was chosen to be a tester. ”

“After entering the game, the first part was a simple cutscene. ”

“It was still the same plot as a horror game. The wife went missing, and the husband drove alone to an abandoned farm in the wilderness in order to find his wife. ”

“Three years ago, the protagonist Ethan’s wife, Miya, went missing mysteriously. Three years later, Ethan received an email asking Miya to pick her up at Baker Farm in the state of Louisanne. So, the protagonist came here without hesitation. ”

“He stopped the car, turned off the engine, and got out of the car. Jiang Huan realized that he had already gained control of this body. ”

“Jiang Huan looked down at Ethan’s body. He was quite strong. He had searched through all his pockets, and only Miya’s email and their photo were left. ”

Jiang Huan kept the email and started to walk forward.

“Since it was a test, he had to play through all the content carefully. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have the effect of a test. ”

“The vegetation around the farm was very lush and overgrown with weeds. The chirping of insects made people feel a little irritated for no reason. Whether it was the trees or the weeds, they all had a strange yellow color, as if they were growing in an extremely unhealthy way. ”

“He saw the iron gate of the farm in the distance, but it was locked and couldn’t be opened. ”

“Jiang Huan was still hesitating about whether he should go and ring the doorbell, but there was no sound after he rang it. It was obvious that it had broken. ”

“He looked up at the iron fence. It was already very high, but there was a wire mesh on it. It was about three meters high. It was impossible to climb over it. ”

“Jiang Huan felt that his body was indeed stronger than an ordinary person ‘s, but it was still impossible for him to climb over the iron fence. ”

“””It’s just a basic routine, so there must be a small path. “” ”

Jiang Huan knew that all horror games liked to play this trick. It was absolutely impossible for the players to enter from the main entrance openly. They would definitely have to take a few turns and walk through a small path. It would be best if they could drill one or two dog holes to set the atmosphere in advance.

“Jiang Huan looked to the side and found a small path hidden by trees. At the end of the path, he saw an abandoned white van and a gap. ”

“””What?”” ”

Jiang Huan opened the door of the van and searched for anything of value.

“His friends had always joked that Jiang Huan had obsessive-compulsive disorder, but that was not true. Jiang Huan was just a collector. No matter what game he played, he liked to gather all the elements and even played the game a dozen times. ”

“All the VR games of the next era had a special option called [key item prompt]. After opening this option, some props related to the plot would be highlighted, but if it was turned off, it would be the same as the ordinary props in the scene. ”

“For example, the business proposal that Jiang Huan found in the van. ”

“He didn’t open this option, so at first glance, the proposal was like a piece of scrap paper that was casually thrown on the seat of the van. But when he picked it up, some information would appear on it. ”

“””Program proposal he sneaked into a haunted house in the state of Louisanne.”” ”

“Jiang Huan opened the proposal and flipped through it. There was a lot of content written on it. A TV show wanted to sneak into a haunted house in Louis Anna to shoot a show. Even the exploration route, the shooting, and the related publicity content had been planned. ”

“””A haunted house in the state of Louisanne? Isn’t that the place?”” ”

“Jiang Huan looked at the abandoned tripod beside the van. It was obviously for the camera. However, he didn’t know why it was left here. Perhaps it was because the cameraman carried the camera in and didn’t need the tripod. ”
