Chapter 439 Pressure Overload
After the Mouse Mask Wearer, it was the turn of the owner of the Vienna Sunshine Resort.
Unlike the others, thanks to his role as a boss, he was able to recover his Mood Value while working during the previous two rounds.
Therefore, he was actually looking forward to the daytime, but this time, he was immediately greeted with devastating news.
"Ox master, due to the rumors that fermented earlier, someone dumped manure at your home door and inside the resort last night, Mood Value decreased, meow~@@@@
"Your resort's rating on the review website also plummeted, and potential guests are deterred by such low scores and dare not make reservations anymore, meow, and existing customers are also canceling their orders, meow.
"The operation of the resort has been severely affected, Mood Value decreased, meow~"
"Your wife and employees' phones were overwhelmed, continuously receiving a barrage of insults and death threats, and the employees couldn't withstand the pressure and chose to resign, meow~
"But your wife still chose to stay by your side to support you, meow, Mood Value increased, meow~"
Due to the manure dumped at his home and resort, combined with the difficulty in operating the resort, the Ox Mask Wearer Man lost another 160 points in Mood Value.
His Mood Value had now plummeted to -489 points, and the circular light in front of him had turned so red that it was almost black.
However, his misfortunes had not ended yet. The Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor continued, "Your daughter, who is still in middle school, has been ostracized and bullied by fellow students, meow. During lunch break, she was cornered in the restroom and slapped, forced to drink from the toilet..."
"Stop talking!" the Ox Mask Wearer Man roared, clutching his head in agony.
Since before the start of the third round, the Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor had used an unknown black technology that made every event's impact on the players infinitely close to reality.
Thus, the Ox Mask Wearer Man really experienced both his home and the resort being splashed with manure, business plummeting, and employees resigning.
Even facing this terrible stress value, he had held on until he heard of his daughter's ordeal, which he could no longer bear.
"Really, I didn't do it intentionally...If I knew beforehand that this would happen, I definitely, definitely wouldn't have said it," the woman in the Rabbit Mask was on the verge of breaking down.
"That's because she wasn't just facing criticism from you alone," said the man wearing the Chicken Mask.
"Back then, she was enduring attacks from thousands and thousands of people like you on the internet, each hurling accusations at her. Even if everyone chose the mildest way of expression, each adding just one unit of stress, it would eventually add up to thousands upon thousands of units of stress.
"It's not surprising for someone who isn't very strong mentally to be overwhelmed by such pressure, especially since online expressions are hardly ever gentle."
Upon hearing the last sentence, the woman in the Rabbit Mask couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.
"An increase in blood pressure detected in Rabbit Master, meow. An additional random event, Death of Ox Master, meow, has been added. The death of Ox Master triggers Rabbit Master's painful memories, reducing her Mood Value by 201, meow.
"Rabbit Master's current Mood Value is -90, meow, which has exceeded her threshold. Please make sure to elevate the Mood Value before tonight's settlement, meow."
"No, I can't play anymore, I can't do this anymore! I can't stand it!" the woman in the Rabbit Mask banged her head against the wall.
"I, I've killed another person; I don't want to kill anyone anymore, woooo~"
"Rabbit Master, are you also requesting to end the game early, meow?" the Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor blinked her eyes.
Before Yi Xiaxia could speak, the woman in the Rabbit Mask screamed, "Yes! Yes! I don't want to live anymore!"
"Sigh, it seems collecting Joy is really a difficult task. After the departure of Ox Master, Rabbit Master has also left us due to the overwhelming pressure, meow," said the Virtual Beauty Girl Anchor, snapping her fingers.
The room was filled with the fourth loud bang, and the woman wearing the Rabbit Mask now had a bullet hole in her forehead.
"What's been going on lately, meow, it feels like news of suicides has been increasing, meow. All masters must always be mindful of your Mood Value, meow."

At that moment, the Middle-aged Man wearing a Sheep Mask suddenly spoke up, "In my case, it's because of that child searching for his relatives, right? But there were also at least a million people criticizing him online at the time, so why pick me? You're so powerful, why not kill those hundreds of thousands of abusers too?"
