To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 442: Chapter 263 Please Don’t Leave (Second Update)_2

[Can the rooms be customized?]

“Of course, they can! Adding rooms to the base is really convenient. Just put in the request and wait for a bit, and Little Bear will help make the arrangements. I have to give props to Little Bear here, they actually read your current data and deduce what you want from that. You don’t even need to talk, a mere thought is enough to get things done. This place is just too awesome!”

[Can you customize a prison with whips and candles, the kind where Wang is tied to a pillar and gets beaten? I want to see that!]

[+1!]

[I can’t take it, seeing Wang so comfortable is harder than swallowing defeat! How can you be enjoying yourself? What gives you the right to enjoy?!]

“Once again, thank you Rich Bro! Thanks for the gift from Rich Bro!”

[Unfollowed!]

“No worries, let me enjoy a bit more. Oh, by the way, I’m planning a lottery event. Those who live nearby can come over and experience it for a few hours, consider it a perk for the loyal fans.”

[Is that really so, foster father! It was my cousin speaking earlier, just a kid who doesn’t know any better. I’ve already made claypot rice, and it’s got the neighbors salivating!]

After comfortably trying out some equipment, Wang Say Games felt that he could play this game for half a year.

He didn’t need to worry about anything, everything he wanted was available, and living here could easily lead to indulgence.

In the following three days, whenever Wang Say Games had time, he immersed himself in the game, completely addicted to the gaming world.

However, on the fourth day, Wang had a new idea.

Though he still found it comfortable, something caught his attention—a very ordinary door.

The door was located on the first floor of the base, seemingly an exit, but a few Little Bears stood guard and clumsily held up signs indicating it was under repair and there was nothing to see, whenever Wang approached.

The reason they gave was plausible, but Wang just couldn’t contain his curiosity.

Normally, such curiosity would fade over time, and he would go back to eating and playing as usual.

But one day, as he passed by the door, he noticed the bustling Little Bears suddenly froze in their tracks and quietly watched him.

If it were a regular game, he naturally wouldn’t be able to feel it, but in virtual reality, the weight of their gazes was palpable, and Wang keenly felt that the Little Bears seemed very concerned about his reaction to the door.

What were they guarding against?

What exactly was behind the door?

Once curiosity was piqued, it was hard to suppress. Even the carefully prepared games by the Little Bears lost their flavor to him; all he could think about was what was behind that door.

He thought about it during the day, at night, while playing the game, and even when he wasn’t playing. Eventually, he got to the point where he wanted to push every door he saw in real life, almost losing his grip on reality.

Curiosity has always been humanity’s greatest weapon for progress, and now this weapon was tormenting Wang, making him wildly fantasize about what lay beyond the door.

Finally, Wang felt he couldn’t take it anymore.

That night, he started a live stream, jumped into the gaming pod, and after launching “Sweet Cabin,” he pointed at the map in his hand and said, “I’m going to see what’s behind the door.”

[Wang, be careful. What if this game is really dark and twisted, and behind the door are five million clones of you, what would you think then?]

[It might be Cthulhu. Imagine being engulfed by billions of huge tentacles, with no chance of escaping.]

[Stop it, you’re making me drool.]

[…My lord, you truly are talented.]

[In situations like this, whatever’s behind the door is usually not great. At best, you could lose your life; at worst, you might never recover. Just be careful if you decide to go through it.]

[It doesn’t really matter to me, it’s up to you, Wang. After all, you’ve been quite enjoying yourself these past days. But I feel like you might have to give something up to get through the door, weigh it out for yourself.]

The words of his fans made Wang’s courage slowly dwindle, but he felt that if he didn’t find out what was behind the door, he might stay in agony forever.

After thinking for a few minutes, he decided to go and take a look anyway.

When he approached the door once more, he noticed that the Little Bears behind him went silent again, their eyes fixated on Wang’s movements, contemplating something.

The silent atmosphere made Wang nervous. Swallowing hard, he slowly walked toward the door, and then he found out that the door opened quite easily.

Behind the door was a very ordinary storeroom, with various items haphazardly strewn about, seemingly nothing special at first glance.

He had braced himself for a monster behind the door, but the reality in front of him was so ordinary that he felt somewhat disappointed.

The long-standing suspense was finally released. Although the result was somewhat dull, it also gave him some peace of mind.

Indeed, he had overthought the situation.

With a self-mocking smile, Wang closed the door, ready to start a ping-pong tournament with the Little Bears. However, an inadvertent glance back wiped the smile off his face in an instant.

That’s not right!

That’s not the door!

Little Bear had mentioned that they were repairing something behind the door, but what could possibly need repairing in a storage room?

He headed back to the spawn point and, using it as a reference, began to recalculate the door’s location.

He walked down to the first floor, then through four rooms in the corridor, and made a right turn…

This time, he discovered that he was facing a wall, while the door to the storage room was still to his left, five meters away.

He knocked on the wall and heard a clear hollow sound from behind it, proving that this wall had been built later and that this was where the real door was supposed to be.

Taking a few steps back, Wang charged with full force towards the door. The collision of his shoulder with the wall caused him some pain—it felt like someone had lightly patted him on the shoulder.

In the game, he had used all his strength, but the door was sturdier than he had anticipated. He hadn’t managed to move it at all.

Just as he was preparing to hit it a second time, a group of Little Bears suddenly jumped out, blocking Wang’s way.

The giant Teddy Bear that had once given him a massage approached from behind and then embraced Wang in its arms.

It was the only large Teddy Bear here and the leader of all the Teddy Bears.

At the same time, it was the only Teddy Bear that could talk. Whenever Wang needed to communicate something, he would go to it.

“Why do you want to do this?” the giant Teddy Bear asked gently, “Why not go back and wrestle with us on the lawn? There are huge flowers planted in the garden; why not go see them with us?”

“Let go, I want to get out.” @@novelbin@@

“It’s not fun outside; the world out there is dangerous,” the giant Teddy Bear continued softly, “There’s nothing out there but madness and fear. Isn’t it nice to stay here? We can also play in the water park together.”

“I admit what you’re saying is tempting, but I really want to get out.”

“…Okay, I can sense your determination, so I’ve made my decision.”

“You’ve decided to let me out?”

“I’ve decided to imprison you.”

“Eh?”

Wang tried to struggle, but the Teddy Bear was surprisingly strong and carried the flailing Wang towards an inner room. They didn’t stop until they reached the third floor.

Upon placing Wang in the top-floor room, the giant Teddy Bear rubbed his head gently and said, “Stop running around and enjoy yourself here. We will provide everything you want. There’s only one requirement, and that is not to go out.”

“But I…”

“No ‘but’s,” the Teddy Bear interrupted Wang, “just stay put. You will like it here, and then you will stay here forever. We really like you, and we want to be with you all the time. So please don’t force me to do something I would regret, okay?”

Despite its continued gentle tone, the content of its words sent a chill down Wang’s spine.

At this moment, Wang realized that this was still a horror game, only this one was hidden so deeply.

A good horror game doesn’t even need scary visuals or jump scares; a hint of the strange and unsettling can evoke deep-seated terror.

The Teddy Bear interpreted Wang’s silence as acceptance, hugged him tightly once more, and then quietly left the room.

Standing in front of the open door, it gestured outside and said, “Would you please stay on the third floor for a while? Not until you give up the idea of leaving will I let you go to the first floor.”

As the giant Teddy Bear left the room, Wang slowly raised his thumb.

Well played, Fang Cheng, hiding another Easter egg, huh!
