Chapter 270 Who is the anchor? !

"No." Jian Yue said: "I was just thinking that next time you are in danger, you should call me."

The man next to him stroked his hair, a gesture of keeping the person by his side. He buried his head in Jian Yue's shoulder, saying nothing.

Jian Yue didn't get a response for a long time, and asked doubtfully: "Xiao Yu?"

The man's low breathing sounded beside his ears. Jian Yue was stunned for a moment, and only realized after a while that he had fallen asleep. He actually fell asleep on his shoulder!!!

Are you tired?

Jian Yue was a little hesitant. He wanted to touch the man's face, but his excellent hearing allowed him to hear the voices outside. They were people talking:

"Is anyone still alive in here?"

"The monsters didn't come out again. They must still be alive."

"These two are so scary!"

"Summoning cards are really powerful. They can even..."

"Keep your voice down, do you want to die?"

"I'm just awesome, what's there to say?"

Jian Yue was a little confused. What summoning card was this? Who was talking about it?

Just when he wanted to hear more details, he suddenly felt weak all over. It was like the sudden fatigue that made him unable to resist the sleepiness.

Before he even had time to react, Jian Yue felt dizzy and found himself back in the square of the Nightmare Hall.

The incense burner was still in his hand.

Jian Yue asked: "System, what is going on?"

The system paused for a moment and then flashed: "There is an abnormality with the prop, and the host has been teleported to the wrong time point and the wrong copy. The tasker has been successfully summoned back, and you will be compensated with corresponding points!"

Jian Yue: "...This is too casual!"

Moreover, was it really the wrong time and copy? Although he had never experienced this copy, why were the people around him familiar to him?

Is this because the copy is wrong, or is it because the current self has actually gone back that is wrong?

Jian Yue felt something was not right, so he asked the system, "Are you hiding something from me?"

The system showed visible panic, and said righteously: "The tasker has been compensated for the error of the props this time. The system has admitted the mistake. Does the tasker have any feedback?"

Jian Yue narrowed his eyes and looked at the panel. Logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with it, but sometimes there was nothing wrong with it, which could be the biggest problem.

The system seemed a little guilty, but still tried to remain calm.

Jian Yue smiled and said, "Then give me some more points as compensation."

The system seemed to be relieved and immediately said: "Compensate the tasker with 100,000 points, which will be distributed to the account later."

Jian Yue smiled even more happily. He said, "It seems that this matter is really important to you, otherwise you wouldn't be willing to spend so many points to shut me up. Unless you give me 200,000 points, I will spread this matter everywhere and let everyone know that there is something wrong with the prizes of your guild competition. Who do you think will still believe in the guild competition then?"

The system said: "The tasker is blackmailing."

Who dares to blackmail the system!

Every tasker in the nightmare world is respectful to the system, and only the one in front of him dares to bargain!

Jian Yue said expressionlessly: "Three hundred thousand."

System: "...Two hundred thousand points will be issued to your account later."

Jian Yue smiled even more happily, and said, "Very good, now I have one million points in my account, I will apply for permission to open a second card slot."

The system didn't expect that he was waiting for him here! !

"What's wrong?" Jian Yue said, "I have already found out that the second card slot only needs one million points to open. Is it possible that others can do it but I can't?"

The system said: "You don't have a second card on you right now."

Jian Yue: "How can I have it if you don't give me the card? Only if you open it will I have the motivation to find a second card!"

system:"……"

Jian Yue said, "Open it for me quickly."

The system seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally said with a kind of desperate tone: "The rules and regulations of the nightmare world have changed now. The tasker does not have a second card in his backpack, so the second card slot cannot be opened for the time being!"

Jian Yue: "When was the regulation changed?"

System: “Not long ago.”

Jian Yue: "Isn't it a recent change?"

System: "No permission to answer."

Jian Yue: "...I think you feel guilty."

The system said stubbornly: "No."

Jian Yue: “…”

The two of them argued for a while, neither of them gave in, but the stalemate continued. Jian Yue thought about it and felt that there was no point in arguing with the system. Didn't Jian Yue say that it could be opened with a second card? He could just go and look for it himself.

just.

When the individual and system were almost done arguing, Jian Yue had already waited for the moon ship and returned to the moon realm.

They had discussed it before and decided to go to the guild to rest after returning. When Jian Yue returned, Aya and the others had already returned. After meeting, they discussed the matter together.

Jian Yue took out the incense burner and placed it on the table and said, "This time's prize gives you three chances to travel back to the past dungeons. I've used them twice. The last one is for you."

Several people were a little stunned.

Tiantian said quickly: "How can this be possible? This opportunity is very precious. I heard that if you go back to a certain copy, you may be able to live in that copy forever, and you can also change the fate of the characters in that copy!"

Jian Yue said: "The system does not allow changes, but in fact, its warning will only be issued after you make changes, so as long as what you do is not particularly obvious, you can change it."

Aya looked at the incense burner and said, "This contribution value prize is for you. This opportunity to travel back to the past is too precious, and we can't take it."

Jian Yue shook his head and said, "I have already tried all the places I want to go back to. This is random, and I can't have the chance to get this prize without your help. So it is reasonable to give you the last chance. However, there is only one chance. It's up to you to decide who gets to use it."

Everyone looked at each other.

Aya was the first to say, "I've been through too many instances in the past. If I were to say there are regrets, each instance has some. If I were to make up for them one by one, I simply wouldn't be able to make up for them, so I'm leaving this opportunity to you."

Li Lele and Li Meng were sitting together. The young boy glanced at the girl next to him and said, "It's okay for me. I think human life is more important than the things I missed. Mengmeng has always missed her brother..."

Jian Yue knew.

When they were in Wanfu Village, Li Meng's brother and Tiantian's boyfriend both died at the hands of the family-killing monster.

This is also the reason why the two of them want to participate in this guild competition.

Li Meng looked behind the incense burner and said to Tiantian, "You go ahead."

Tiantian asked in surprise: "Why? Mengmeng, why would you give it to me?"

As a good friend of Li Meng, Tiantian certainly knew how important her brother was to her. Li Meng always wore her brother's necklace and even left a room for her brother in the house allocated by the guild. She could obviously rest, but she kept entering the dungeon, risking her life, and even when she was blind, she still ventured into the guild competition.

She did all this for her brother.

Li Meng said: "When I was blind, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get out of that dungeon. Later in the guild competition, you always supported me. If it wasn't for your encouragement, if it wasn't for Lele who insisted on treating me, I don't know how many times I would have died. I will find a way to deal with my brother's matter. You have always wanted to save your boyfriend, this time..."

Tiantian quickly said: "But..."

Jian Yue listened for a long time and said, "I say, it's a copy of Wanfu Village anyway, it doesn't matter which one of you goes, it's just a matter of convenience, isn't it?"

There was silence for a moment.

Tiantian suddenly realized: "Yes."

Jian Yue said: "The biggest problem for you two now is to study the situation in Wanfu Village at that time and see at what point in time you can change their predetermined fate of death. Don't waste this opportunity of the incense burner."

After Tiantian and Li Meng looked at each other, they both understood and said, "Okay!"

The matter has been resolved.

Jian Yue said to Aya, "Sister Ya, I have something I want to ask you."

Aya was a little surprised. She didn't expect Jian Yue to ask her something. She quickly said, "Go ahead."

"About the second card slot." Jian Yue said, "I found that I don't have a second card slot. I asked the system and it said that I must have a second card to open it. Does anyone in the guild have a second card slot?"

Aya said, "I have it."

Jian Yue saw Aya take out two cards from her body, one was gold and the other was purple. On the gold card were two golden figures, one facing up and the other facing down. They were women's figures, elegant and graceful, printed on the gold card. It was exceptionally beautiful. This was Aya's gold card.

Aya said: "This is my initial card, a golden card. Its name is: Guess who I am. It can create a clone that looks exactly like me, with my memories and abilities. The clone can share and bear damage for me, and can even be used to escape at critical moments."

Jian Yue finally understood why the gold card was of a higher level. This type of card was extremely practical.

Aya continued, "I bought this purple card at the trading house. It's called Weather Forecast, and it can predict the weather in the dungeon in real time."

Jian Yue was curious: "There is such a card?"

Aya smiled and said, "Although it seems useless, different cards will have different effects in different dungeon environments. In some dungeons, if you go out in certain weather conditions, you will die. In such dungeons, the strength of this purple card is comparable to that of a gold card."

Jian Yue understood.

Aya said: "It's actually very simple to open the second card slot. You can open it directly after buying the rose props in the mall. I haven't heard that you must have a card to open it."

Jian Yue said: "The system said this is a newly revised rule."

Aya complained: "Is it really not directed at you?"

Jian Yue shrugged.

Aya thought for a moment and said, "But there's no need to embarrass you on this matter. Just buy the props and try it yourself. After buying them, just open it yourself in the card slot."

Jian Yue said: "I am not allowed to buy my own props. How come I don't know where the card slot is?"

Aya was a little surprised: "These are all things that must be taught in the novice tutorial."

Tiantian also said: "The system has taught us! It's at the top of the panel."

Li Meng and others also nodded.

Jian Yue: "...Why don't I have a tutorial for beginners?"

He had never discussed this with anyone else, so he thought no one had it. But when he checked, he found that he was the only one who didn't have a beginner's tutorial. Is this reasonable? ! !

Under the gazes of everyone, Jian Yue opened the panel. He had never paid attention to the top part before, and the card slot seemed to be deliberately hidden and not easy to find.

Aya said: "Generally speaking, if you have a gold card, you will have a gold card slot. If you want to open a second card slot, there will be two card slots. You haven't opened it now, so you probably don't have it..."

She was talking.

Then he realized that Jian Yue was stunned.

Aya asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Jian Yue looked at his card slot column in a bit of surprise, and repeated it several times before finally confirming it. He said, "I don't have a card slot."

Everyone was stunned.

Aya quickly said: "How is it possible!!"

"Really." Jian Yue's expression became more serious. He said, "My card slot is blank. I don't have a card slot."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Aya didn't believe it: "Then how do you usually use your cards?"

Jian Yue pushed his glasses and said, "It usually comes out by itself. I can't be sure of the conditions and time when it is triggered, but it will appear when it is needed. Isn't that the case with you?"

Everyone: “…”

How did you find such a niche track, Butler Wang!!!

Aya coughed lightly and said, "Maybe, maybe the constitution of each card is different..."

Jian Yue said: "That's understandable. Maybe it just doesn't like having a card slot."

Everyone was silent, thinking that Butler Wang, you are as abstract as your cards.

Aya thought for a moment and said, "It may really be a system bug, but since the system allows you to open a slot after you have a second card, why don't you go to the trading house and buy one?"

Jian Yue said: "Is there any other way?"

Aya looked at him with some confusion.

Jian Yue said: "Since it is something from the trading house, it may be related to the extinct monster. I certainly can't control all the extinct monsters, but the least I can do is not trade."

Aya was silent for a moment, then she said, "But even if we don't trade, we can't change the rules of the entire nightmare world."

Jian Yue smiled and said, "I don't want to change the rules of the world. I just want myself not to be changed."

Aya was a little stunned. She looked at the man beside her who was smiling calmly and suddenly felt from him what true determination was. Most of the time, Jian Yue looked like a very casual person, but in fact, the more easy-going he looked, the more determined he was. He always knew what he wanted. He was not sharp at all, but he just stood there, and all the darkness seemed unable to bother him.

That's what everyone does.

There is always one person who doesn't do this.

It was like he was the first person to stand up and build a safe continent and establish a guild when the nightmare world was in chaos and the taskers were killing each other.

Aya smiled and said, "That's fine. Although buying is the easiest way, there are other ways if you don't want to buy. There are some rare dungeons whose rewards are cards. Every month, some dungeons with high mortality rates and high difficulty will be refreshed. Sometimes the system will give out rewards to reward taskers for entering. One was just released this month."

Jian Yue asked: "Which one?"

Aya pointed to the taskbar not far away and said, "That one."

Jian Yue looked towards the taskbar and saw four words written on the brightest red paper: Devil Town.

The blood-red boy seemed to be stained with blood.

Jian Yue: "This..."

Everyone thought he was frightened.

Jian Yue asked: "What card does this copy give?"

Everyone: “…”

However, Jian Yue has one advantage, which is that he is a man of action. After deciding to enter this dungeon, he explained some things to several other people. First, he told Tiantian which time points to pay attention to after returning to the dungeon, and then he met with Xiao Lizi and others.

Although Leo was with Gao Fei, he did not join the Emperor's Guild.

Gao Fei said, "I've thought about it carefully. In a nightmare instance, there may not be tomorrow even if there is today. Living in a daze is more painful than death. The Emperor Guild used to only know that the strong are respected, but they did a lot of wrong things and hurt a lot of people. They are no different from the monsters in the instance. The guy named Wang Miao who hurt your friend has been kicked out of the guild by me."

Jian Yue said, "Is he the one who hurt Li Meng's eyes? He lost his arm in the dungeon, and now he's out?"

"He's out." Gao Fei said, "But he's no longer in our guild. We think he's a very radical person, but he seems to have a lot of resentment, and he's very angry with you. You have to be careful. Sorry, I didn't help you deal with it."

Jian Yue said: "This is not your fault. People like him will be resentful towards everyone."

Gao Fei patted his shoulder and said, "Be careful."

Jian Yue nodded.

He returned to the Nightmare Hall with a clear goal, which was to find the copy of the Demon Town on the task bar. The number of people in this copy was actually more than Jian Yue had expected. Currently, 28 people have signed up, and there are only 2 more people left before the copy is about to be opened. The reward for the copy is a card of unknown attributes, with neither level nor attributes indicated.

Jian Yue clicked to sign up.

He thought it might take some time to match into the dungeon.

Unexpectedly, just as we confirmed it, the system popped up a panel over there: "All players in the dungeon [Devil Town] have arrived, and teleportation is now enabled!"

Jian Yue: “…”

There was no time to react before suction came the next second.

Jian Yue only felt a dizzy feeling coming over him, as if he had just had a nap. When he opened his eyes again, he had moved from the player lobby to another place.

What caught my eye was a horse-drawn carriage.

It was a very large carriage, with a very spacious interior and a wooden roof. The air around it was not flowing smoothly. Jian Yue tried to move, but found that there seemed to be chains on his ankles and hands, and there would be noises when he moved.

There were also people whispering in my ears:

"Where is this?"

"Why are we locked up?"

"Oh my god, where is this place?"

"Wow, am I not playing games at home too?"

"Shut up, everyone!"

"Why are there new people in this instance? What a nuisance!"

“Alright, alright…”

Voices came one after another, and Jian Yue listened to them all. His eyesight was not very good to begin with, and now in the dim environment he could see a little more clearly. There were about a dozen people in the carriage, which should not be all the players in this copy, but there were quite a lot. Some were crying in fear, some had indifferent expressions, and some were full of impatience.

There is actually a newcomer in this copy.

Something is not right. Isn't this a special copy?

In fact, Jian Yue hadn't met any newcomers in quite a few dungeons. From the palace dungeon to the later guild competitions, they were basically all experienced old players. Now, suddenly seeing some crying players again, he felt as if he was in another world.

Just thinking about it.

The carriage stopped.

A majestic woman's voice came from outside: "Get out of the car!"

Everyone looked at each other, and people outside began to get off the car. After getting off the car, Jian Yue looked into the distance and was amazed. What a tall and big castle, towering majestically. The surrounding walls were covered with roses. The roses were blood red, giving people a strange sense of blooming. The whole sky was dark. In such a dim sky, there was no light on in the castle, only a big iron gate was open, as if the devil was baring its fangs, luring people into a trap.

Everyone had chains on them.

The woman standing in the front had a pale face. She was wearing a black and white dress, and her jet-black hair was tied up. She stared at everyone with lifeless eyes and said, "This is the Duke's castle. Only slaves chosen by the Duke can stay here. You'd better not make any noise. The Duke doesn't like noisy people, otherwise..."

She smiled, revealing her sharp white teeth, and her dark eyes stared at everyone without blinking, as if she was looking at lambs to be slaughtered.

The newcomer who was originally about to cry suddenly shut up.

Jian Yue understood that their current role was the Duke's slaves! It was really like a chain at the beginning, and the whole process depended on fate!

Everyone walked slowly inside. The further they walked, the colder it felt. They could only hear the creaking of the door. As a result, the lights all around were lit by candles. They saw the Duke and Duchess sitting at the very top. The Duke was wearing a classic men's suit and holding a cane in his hand. The lady was wearing a skirt. Her waist was so slender that it seemed like she didn't have one at all. Her face was painted very white, without any blood color. She just looked at everyone grimly.

Wait until everyone is present.

The maid said, "Master, these are the slaves we sent this time. Which ones do you want to keep?"

The duke's voice was like a thin duck's. He said, "Bring them one by one so I can see them."

The maid nodded: "Yes."

They were the ones queuing in, with Jian Yue standing at the back of the line. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone perked up.

A system panel popped up in front of Jian Yue: "

Trigger limited-time task: [Become a worker in the castle]

Mission details: As a job interviewer, failure is unacceptable. Please do not be eliminated by the Duke during the interview and stay in the castle.

Mission reward: 500 points.

Mission time limit: 5 minutes"

So short?

Jian Yue was a little surprised.

The people standing not far in front of him were being selected by the Duke, who kept saying in a hoarse voice, "This one is too thin, this one is too fat, they can't speak clearly, this one, stay..."

I looked at more than a dozen people in a row.

Just when he was about to see Jian Yue, the Duke's eyes swept across Jian Yue's face and narrowed his eyes sharply. Jian Yue was also a little nervous, but he was lucky this time because the body he traveled to was neither fat nor thin, so there should be nothing to complain about.

Who knows——

The Duke said, "This guy looks too smart. I like honest and reliable people, ma'am, and he looks too smart. This is definitely not a good choice!"

The Duchess also looked at Jian Yue: "My dear, I think you are right. I am afraid that the prince will not like such a smart-looking slave. Let him go."

The two of them were so affectionate that they didn't care about Jian Yue's life or death at all.

The countdown panel not far away counted down mercilessly: [1 minute 20 seconds]

The maid looked at Jian Yue with a somewhat indifferent look and said, "The Duke has already said that you are not qualified. Go down."

It's like a death sentence.

The live broadcast room has been opened. This time, Jian Yue chose to start the live broadcast anonymously, so the audience who could see the live broadcast room before did not know that it was his live broadcast room. But people came in one after another and said:

“Whose live broadcast room is this?”

"Wow it's a demon town."

“Hahaha, this anchor is finished.”

"You're out at the start!"

However, everyone was discussing it.

Next second.

Jian Yue said, "Sir, I think you should keep me. Although I look smart, a wise and intelligent man like you needs some smart slaves to serve you. I am willing to serve you at my whim."

The Duke and Duchess were stunned. They looked at each other. The Duke said, "How can I believe in your loyalty? What's more, I am a very dedicated and sincere person, just like my love for my wife for decades!"

The Duchess also smiled sweetly upon hearing this, looked at the Duke tenderly and said, "Oh dear, of course I feel the same way, you are the only one in my heart, I believe in your judgment, just let him go."

The two people have already made a deal, and the matter has been settled.

The result is in the next second.

A golden card has been refreshed:

【Eight Triggers】:

[Gossip: The Duke is actually having an affair with the maid behind his wife's back! ]

【Cooling time 12 hours】

Everyone was stunned.

Just when Jian Yue was a little surprised.

The Duke and Duchess' faces were also filled with shock, and everyone was frozen.

Another golden light flashed by:

【Eight Triggers】:

[Gossip: The maid is actually a cross-dresser. He and his wife have been in love since childhood, and he came to the manor to follow his wife! ]

【Cooling time 12 hours】

When this gossip fell.

The Duke sitting on the chair and the majestic maid standing beside him were all stunned.

Jian Yue was also dumbfounded. Such an exciting and complicated story. When did your ghost circle evolve to this point? What kind of PLAY are you playing? !

The audience in the live broadcast room was also stunned for a moment, and then burst into shocking laughter:

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

"This copy has been around for a few years, and this is the first time I've eaten this melon!"

"The melon seeds and peanuts are ready. Who does the maid like?"

"Wait, this skill..."

“Hahaha, who is the anchor? It’s so hard to guess!~”
