Chapter 981 - 378: Interstellar Escape Livestream (Part 2)
He Hongtian:...
What kind of experience is it to curse oneself?
He Hongtian never knew he had the potential for a split personality.
Although after being captured, he once attempted to fake psychological defects or mental disorders.
However, He Hongtian was very clear that his mind was normal, with no signs of personality disorder.
But, what’s going on now?
He Hongtian shook his head vigorously, trying to drive out the voice in his mind.
"Alright, since you’re sure you want to participate, then sign the contract."
That same cold voice slowly echoed in the cell.
"I’ll sign!" He Hongtian raised his head again, speaking firmly.
This was his only chance, and he didn’t want to miss it.
As soon as he finished speaking, a virtual Light Screen appeared in front of him, displaying a contract for voluntarily participating in the adventure live broadcast game.
The contract terms were very simple, directly stating that the adventure live broadcast was extremely dangerous, and if the adventurer dies, the broadcast assumes no responsibility.
Of course, if the live broadcast tasks are completed, the rewards are also very generous.
The most enticing reward is "pardon"!
That’s right, pardon!
The backing of this adventure live broadcast program must be very strong to dare offer such a heavy reward as "pardon".
For example, serious criminals or death row inmates, if they perform excellently in the live broadcast and complete the stipulated tasks, can have their sentences reduced or even be exempted from the death penalty.
There are also some star-level fugitives or people with criminal records, as long as they survive the live broadcast, they can also gain the freedom they desire.
High rewards also mean high risks.
The adventure live broadcast can offer such rewards because the game is really, really, really dangerous.
The program group will pre-select some unfamiliar planets, or Empire Star, Interstellar Alliance, etc., used to deploy various dangerous experiment abandoned Junk Star.
These places will have all sorts of unknown dangers.
Wilderness, glaciers, viruses, Exotic Beasts...without high-tech weapons, no armor, no adequate logistics supply, even the most vicious criminals may not survive more than a few days in such places.
According to the live room rules, to obtain "pardon", you must survive for one hundred days in the "Adventure Park".
Of course, not everyone participating in the program is a death row inmate; there are also those serving life sentences or serious offenders with sentences of twenty or thirty years.
Such "adventurers", for every additional day of survival in the Adventure Park, can have one year of their sentence exempted.
As long as they last for thirty days, they can basically regain their freedom.
This also reveals how dangerous the so-called Adventure Park is.
Every minute and second here holds the possibility of death.
Additionally, the "adventurers" may encounter mishaps, not only due to the objective danger and unknowns of the Adventure Park but also from slaughtering by their peers.
You read that right, the adventure live broadcast does not prohibit skirmishes between adventurers.
Killing a peer, all the resources and rewards they have become yours.
In previous broadcasts, among hundreds of thousands of participants, half could be consumed by the various dangers of the Adventure Park, and the other half were basically killed by "their own people".
Some people, just a second ago were "allies", will be killed by their partners the next second.
In this adventure live room, the cruel jungle law is vividly displayed, while the selfishness and darkness of human nature are magnified countless times.
However, such a blood-soaked, negative-energy-filled live broadcast program has not been stopped; on the contrary, its momentum has only grown bigger and bigger.
Some people have summarized before, though the killing in the live room is very cruel, the participants are fugitives, serious offenders, and even death row inmates.
They are not ordinary civilians, much less aristocrats.
Such people, they say, deserve to die.
Now giving them a chance to survive, entertaining the public, while helping the Empire or Alliance explore some unknown planets, is considered a win-win situation.
As for human rights and humanity, ha, did they think about human rights when they committed crimes? Were their crimes humane?
Besides, the live broadcast did not force them to participate; each of them applied voluntarily.
The program group did not deceive anyone, as the contract had already clearly stated the various dangers and rules.
This is a mutually consensual transaction, and while the parties involved have said nothing, why should the onlookers on the Star Network complain?!
