Chapter 213 Trial Game

Time passed,

Soon it was around five o'clock in the afternoon.

Store Manager Lin Zhu tallied the current turnover, which had surprisingly reached over two thousand. Of course, this included income from customers purchasing snacks.

But from eight in the morning to five in the afternoon, in nine hours, they had welcomed nearly 40 customers.

Moreover, it was only five o'clock now; the peak flow of people would be from five to eight, as most office workers would have finished work by then.

Next, the coffee shop would likely attract another batch of customers.

This was only the first day of opening. As the Cat Cafe spread by word of mouth, it would definitely attract even more customers.

More importantly, through simple conversations with these customers, they all expressed that they would come back.

This already counted as having repeat customers.

So as long as they accumulated enough, the coffee shop wouldn't have to worry about a lack of customers in the future.

Having thought this through,

Song Xia and Su Dan both breathed a sigh of relief. From the current situation, the establishment of the Cat Cafe was considered successful.

They also wondered how far it would develop in the end and how much profit it could bring to Nan He (South and) Coffee.

As for the Maid Cafe, its renovation would also be finished in a week. They wondered what the Maid Cafe would be like.

Could it, like the Cat Cafe, bring benefits to Nan He (South and) Coffee?

…………

Imperial Capital,

Tiange Game Club.

Chen Cong and Du Ziteng were sitting in the office.

In the afternoon, they received a call from Fang Chang of Cangxue Games, stating that the new game had been successfully developed and inviting them to test it.

Now, everyone at Tiange had already downloaded the game.

They were just waiting to start testing.

"Limit Survival. Hearing the name, it doesn't feel like much, but I wonder how the game content is."

Chen Cong looked at the name on the game icon and said with a smile.

Du Ziteng nodded.

"Let's test it and see. I hope it's not just those boring competitive modes."

Saying this,

The two double-clicked the icon and entered the game.

Looking at the mode selection at the top of the game, the two were stunned for a moment.

Competitive Mode, Survival Mode.

Both of them were familiar with Competitive Mode and weren't surprised by it. However, they were both curious about what kind of gameplay the Survival Mode offered.

"Which mode should we choose first?"

Chen Cong looked up at Du Ziteng.

Du Ziteng thought for a moment and said calmly.

"Let's look at the Competitive Mode first and see if it's different from the competitive modes on the market."

"Okay!"

Chen Cong nodded and clicked on Competitive Mode.

They found that this Competitive Mode was no different from other shooting-based competitive modes.

It was all about selecting a map and then entering a match.

Huh!

Just as Chen Cong was feeling a bit disappointed, he surprisingly found Ghost Mode and biochemical mode below.

What modes were these?

He turned to look at Du Ziteng and found that Du Ziteng was also looking at him.

It was clear that Du Ziteng had also discovered these two modes.

"How about we try playing a round in Ghost Mode first?"

Du Ziteng said calmly.

Chen Cong nodded, and the two simultaneously entered a Ghost Mode Room.

After entering, just like in Competitive Mode, each person chose a side.

After entering the game,

Chen Cong found that he had directly become part of the Ghost side.

Since it was the first time entering the game, some game introductions and guides appeared on the interface.

Soon,

He understood the Ghost's gameplay. Ghosts had no guns and could only use a knife, but they could become invisible.

Chen Cong felt it was quite novel.

As the game started, he immediately became invisible and began searching for Du Ziteng's figure. Soon, he found Du Ziteng's game character at a staircase entrance.

He saw Du Ziteng controlling his game character, crouching at the staircase entrance and looking around. From his appearance, he hadn't noticed that Chen Cong was already nearby.

Chen Cong smiled slightly and directly controlled the Ghost to approach.

Approaching Du Ziteng, he immediately slashed down with his knife.

Headshot,

Instant kill.

Du Ziteng was startled by the sudden kill screen, and his expression was somewhat confused. What was going on? How did he die?

Could the game have a bug?

"Hahaha, this mode is quite interesting."

Chen Cong looked at Du Ziteng, who still didn't know how he died, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Hearing Chen Cong's laughter, Du Ziteng also knew that his recent death must have had something to do with Chen Cong and wasn't a bug.

"What exactly happened? How did I die?"

"You were stabbed to death by my knife."

Chen Cong couldn't help but laugh again. When he had just approached, the other party was like an idiot, seeing nothing.

"I didn't even see you, how did you stab me to death?"

Du Ziteng was still a bit confused.

Chen Cong explained, "Because Ghosts can be invisible, of course you couldn't see me."

Invisibility!

Du Ziteng thought back. He had skipped the beginner guide earlier, and during the skipping process, the word "invisibility" seemed to have indeed appeared.

But if Ghosts could be invisible, even without guns, they would have an absolute advantage. After all, his side couldn't see the Ghost's existence at all, so how could they play?

Thinking of this, he voiced the doubts in his heart.

Hearing this, Chen Cong also looked thoughtful.

"Well, let's play a few more rounds and see. I won't kill you first, you see if you can find me through some method."

With such an unbalanced game mechanism, he believed that Cangxue wouldn't fail to notice it.

There must be something else they hadn't discovered.

The two then played a few more rounds, and Du Ziteng finally figured out the trick.

"So that's how it is!"

Du Ziteng killed the Ghost hidden beside him with a burst of fire.

"Huh, how did you find me?"

Chen Cong was surprised to see himself suddenly killed and looked at Du Ziteng in astonishment.

Hearing this, Du Ziteng began to explain.

"You can listen for sounds. When you walk, I can hear your footsteps. When you get close, I can also hear your breathing. Through these two sounds, I can basically determine your approximate location. As long as I shoot you, it will make you briefly reveal your form."

"Is that so? We're about to switch sides, I'll experience it too. Later, I'll pull those few people from the Club into the Room, it's more fun with more people."

Hearing this, Chen Cong said impatiently.

Time passed bit by bit,

Soon two hours had passed.

"Come on, let's play another round."

Chen Cong looked at the failure screen and shouted somewhat unconvinced.

"Well, we've already played Ghost Mode for two hours, and we haven't experienced the biochemical mode yet."

Du Ziteng spoke up at the right time. Ghost Mode was indeed very fun.

But don't forget their purpose was to test the game.

Since it was a test play, it was impossible to just focus on one game.

"Alright, then let's play the biochemical mode."

Chen Cong reluctantly exited Ghost Mode and entered the biochemical mode.

Two hours later,

Chen Cong looked at the failure screen and shouted again.

"Quick, play another round."

Du Ziteng looked at Chen Cong's enthusiastic appearance and said helplessly.

"It's already 11 o'clock now, and we still have one Survival Mode that we haven't tested."
