Tourists scare NPCs in return?

Nan Ye was almost driven mad. In this day and age, is it really this hard to scare someone?

Netizens almost choked with laughter:

【Hahaha, I can't hold it in, how can something so funny happen!】

【This is hilarious. Although Xiao Ge is wearing a mask, I can imagine he's already starting to question life.】

【Xiao Ge says: Come on, make some noise! You're just standing there, making me really awkward!】

This is what haunted houses are like now. Many people just go to experience the environment; they aren't afraid of the NPCs inside the haunted house at all. Some even specifically tease the NPCs.

Seeing that this academic didn't react, Nan Ye couldn't be bothered with him and continued to look for his next target.

This time, he entered a deliberately created mental hospital.

There are quite a few movies about haunted mental hospitals, but the one Nan Ye remembers most is 'Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum'.

Those friends who courted death ended up with no good outcome.

This time, there were five or six people in this mental hospital, probably students who agreed to come play together. There were more girls, four of them.

“Ah hehehehe…” Nan Ye let out a weird laugh. Girls must be easier to scare!

He quietly approached the group, then pulled his head back into his clothes, pretending to be a headless corpse.

Then he used his hand to tap one of the girls on the shoulder.

But the girl didn't turn around: “Don't bother me, I'm thinking about something!”

Nan Ye didn't stop and patted the girl's shoulder again.

“Oh, I told you not to bother me, I'm solving a puzzle!”

Nan Ye: !!!!

Is being a ghost so lacking in presence now?

He didn't believe it, took out the prop head he was holding, and suddenly threw it onto the table the girl was staring at.

When the girl saw a clump of hair, she was startled at first and took several steps back. From this angle, she happened to see Nan Ye without a head behind her, and then looked at the head on the table…

Instantly, her whole being wasn't right!

“Ah…” The girl let out a high-pitched scream.

The others were also affected and started fleeing in all directions.

This time, Nan Ye finally had some presence.

See? This is the power an NPC should have!

It seems I wasn't acting convincingly enough before!

One of the boys didn't run. The moment Nan Ye touched him.

The boy collapsed without any warning, his body started convulsing non-stop, even foaming at the mouth, and his eyes rolled back.

The audience in the live stream instantly became anxious. Could something really have happened!

【Holy crap, could it be that Xiao Ge's move was a bit too intense and scared the person into an illness?】

【Oh my god, look, he's foaming at the mouth, it's too scary.】

【Could this person have epilepsy? Then Xiao Ge is in trouble!】

Many Netizens started worrying about Xiao Ge. Whoever encounters this kind of thing is unlucky, and their emotions were stirred up.

At this moment, Nan Ye's thoughts were completely different from the Netizens'.

Instead, a string of ellipses appeared above his head.

If he didn't have medical skills, he really would have been scared to death by the other party this time.

“Hey, brother, where did you buy these effervescent tablets? Send me a link!”

Effervescent tablets are the props used in TV dramas when portraying foaming at the mouth.

Seeing that he was exposed, the boy sheepishly got up and wiped his mouth.

“Hehe, this trick of mine always works. I've scared dozens of haunted house NPCs. I didn't expect to be exposed by you today, this is the first time!”

Dozens?

Nan Ye was completely speechless. Is it ghosts scaring people, or people scaring ghosts?

Kids these days aren't afraid of ghosts at all!

The Netizens in the live stream finally understood, feeling somewhat amused and exasperated.

It turns out this boy wanted to use effervescent tablets to scare back.

And he had actually succeeded in scaring dozens of haunted house NPCs.

This, he's quite mischievous!

【I remember now, Xiao Ge knows medical skills. Pulling these stunts in front of Xiao Ge isn't enough to impress him!】

【Laughing to death, is being a haunted house NPC this difficult now? There are actually tourists thinking of scaring the NPCs back!】

【You just realized? No job is as simple as it seems!】

【Hehe, looking at Xiao Ge, he seems determined not to give up until he scares someone. I just want to see what other methods he'll use to scare people!】

【I'm looking forward to it too, I feel like Xiao Ge's side is more interesting!】

【……】

Many Netizens thought this, so the number of viewers in Nan Ye's live stream soared, now exceeding ten million.

Some came from the live streams of the other four Little Generals, and others were Netizens who just woke up on Saturday and only now clicked on the show.

The total number of viewers for the other Little Generals was also rising, all around eight or nine million.

Currently, the entire show combined has over forty million viewers.

Song Ci looked at the data and slapped Li Zhixuan heavily on the thigh.

“The popularity has exceeded 19.2! Good, good, I think it's hopeful to break the show's highest historical popularity by noon!”

Li Zhixuan beside him grimaced in pain, constantly rubbing the spot that was hit.

Ow, what the heck, Director Song isn't being human. Be excited by all means, but can't he hit himself?

He quietly moved to the side, only occupying a small part of the chair, to prevent being hit again!

……

In the camera, Nan Ye was rubbing his chin, thinking. Was it possible that those girls earlier were also faking it?

Wait, wouldn't checking the emotional values tell me?

Look for the emotional values of the people in the haunted house, not the people in the live stream.

Wang Lanqing felt a trace of terror, emotional value +178.

Chen Yuning felt a trace of fright, emotional value +186.

Yang Zhenting felt a trace of horror, emotional value +177.

……

Only a little over a hundred, it seems the level of terror isn't high enough!

He remembered that when he fished up the corpse, the values were over a thousand.

That means the level of terror can still increase significantly.

Is there a possibility that the haunted house routines and NPC routines have all been figured out, which is why this is happening?

No, I can't keep going like this, it's too passive.

Since these aren't scary, I need to come up with something scarier and more stimulating.

The props are limited, what else can be more stimulating?

Sound?

That's right, it's sound!

The reason horror movies are scary is definitely because sound is the most important element.

Poor sound effects will make a movie look like a funny, bizarre video.

Suppose you're watching 'The Shining', and the BGM is looping 'You love me, I love you…'

Good heavens, where is there any sense of horror left?

“Tong Zi, exchange for vocal mimicry!”

When it comes to sound effects, vocal mimicry is definitely powerful.

Just a table, a chair, a fan, and a ruler, yet it can produce all sorts of strange sounds, and even simulate the sounds of various large scenes.

Precisely because this skill is so excellent, it has long been designated as an intangible cultural heritage.

Afterward, Nan Ye exchanged for another skill called Foley Artist.

Few people may have heard of this profession, but everyone knows what it is when explained.

For example, the sound of punches in martial arts films, the roar of dinosaurs, the sound of ghosts appearing, the roar of monsters…

These are all done by Foley artists.

And the tools used are very simple, things like envelopes, cinder, gloves, violin strings, etc.

With these two abilities, Nan Ye was full of confidence in his future NPC career…
