Chapter 683 Gods' Game: Blocks and Me 69

Just as Yu Xunge was about to change her fishing spot to a new spot, she bumped into the little seahorse.

Unlike its previous spirited self, the little seahorse now drifted like a vengeful ghost. When it saw the cat coming towards it, it merely glanced at it without showing any intention of attacking.

Yu Xunge didn't plan to change his identity and return to the seahorse after committing the crime. Since the little seahorse wasn't making a move, Yu Xunge wouldn't linger.

But to her surprise, after she ran a few steps, the little seahorse chased after her.

Yu Xunge: ?

The little seahorse asked in the language of the Heavenly Crab: "Have you seen Ze Lan Song Gui?"

Yu Xunge said, "I encountered it half an hour ago, but I haven't seen it recently."

The little seahorse stared at Yu Xunge for a while, then suddenly said, "Want to team up? We can each take one map fragment and then go out together once we've collected them all."

Yu Xunge silently looked at the second divinely bestowed talent skill that the other party had unlocked—[Ignite Teammates, Warm the Sea Cubs].

This is a skill that allows you to transfer damage to your teammates as long as you form a party with other players in any way...

Moreover, once a team is formed, it must remain in place for a full hour, during which time the team cannot disband.

The only weakness might be the team-up time, which will decrease as the number of damage transfers gradually increases.

Yu Xunge was once again amazed by the little seahorse's special nature. The last time she saw a divinely bestowed talent skill so closely related to a player was Tu Lan's [Despicable Me Dragon].

These two skills seem to be specially designed for players, with their names and descriptions perfectly matching the player's information.

The little seahorse's divinely bestowed talent is even more special; it directly reveals the little seahorse's real name.

Yu Xunge: "I'll politely decline."

"Wait!!" The little seahorse called out to her again, worried that she was running too fast. It quickly expressed its need, "Is there any food? I'll buy it with building blocks!"

Yu Xunge stopped in her tracks, slowly turned her head to look at the little seahorse, her eyes shining with an astonishing light!

Yes, she can sell food in the maze!

These players are almost out of energy, and running out of energy in the maze forces a restart. Did all the players here bring enough food? Impossible!

This is exactly what we need!

But if that's the case... then the skill rotation will have to be changed.

Change "[Mysterious Power] + [There's a Cat]" to "[Mysterious Power] + [No Logic]".

Because she needs a lot of food, she has to get the pets from outside. This supply channel can't be hidden. No matter what form she takes to sell food, if players want to investigate, they can quickly find out her true identity by tracing the food source.

Similarly, she cannot use this method to exploit the idea that "free things are the most expensive" by exchanging barbecue for building blocks.

The safest way is to buy using your real identity.

Then we can only let the lack of logic distort the players' perception.

Only if all the players believe that the "cat's ideal" doesn't reside in her can she manage to... deliver takeout in the cracks.

However, this price needs careful consideration.

Selling it too low isn't worth the trouble.

Selling it at too high a price is unrealistic.

Yes, players will return to the initial room and restart when their energy is depleted. Going back once means losing 8% of their attributes. With such a terrible penalty, it would be reasonable for a piece of roast meat to be priced at 500g of building blocks or five-piece set fragments.

However, she cannot completely monopolize this business.

It has nothing to do with whether she can handle so many Abyss players at the same time. Even if she does nothing, she will still be targeted by the enemy because she possesses divine relics.

One of the most crucial factors preventing her from selling at a high price is that the players here are not without options.

At least 70% of the top players in this game brought teammates, and even those without teammates had pets.

If she asks for too much, players might as well have their pets or teammates buy a lot of food to bring into the dungeon, so they can eat it themselves and sell it to recoup their costs.

The consequence of doing this is that the game becomes more difficult, and you have to bring a teammate or pet with you when you go out.

But if they are truly forced into a corner with no way out, many players of the Gods game would probably be willing to make this choice.

Yu Xunge put herself in her shoes and wondered what she would do if she ended up in this desperate situation at the amusement park in February.

Paying a high price to buy food from novice players?

No, she would rather have Tulan bring in a lot of food, even if it increases the difficulty of the game. She would need to earn enough maps for two people, but if there is enough food, this problem is not insurmountable.

She was willing to buy food from the weak, but the price couldn't be too high, so high that she felt she was being fooled, so high that she felt the weak saw her as a stupid lamb to be slaughtered.

Yu Xunge had only heard of the idea that when the strong fight, the weak ultimately prevail; he had never witnessed it firsthand.

Her pricing needs to be both enough for her to earn building blocks and enough for all the powerful beings currently in the maze to tacitly accept her existence.

She needs to strike a perfect balance, making players feel that since there's a way to buy food in the maze, even if it's more expensive than outside, there's no need to let teammates get trapped in the maze.

...

After riding the Ferris wheel, claw machine, bumper cars, and space pirate spaceship, Tulan was now nearly 2 meters tall and was eating at a food truck in the February amusement park.

Tu Lan: "She's been inside for over five hours and hasn't come out yet... How many players are in the maze right now?"

B8017913: "Between 12 o'clock and 4 o'clock, 812 players entered the maze, and only 19 came out."

Tu Lan: "I think she was delivering takeout inside and didn't want to come out."

B8017913: "Obvious"

After saying that, B8017913 took 10 portions of barbecue from his friend and ran to the Ferris wheel railing to wait for Yu Xunge to come out and get the goods.

…

Yu Xunge really didn't want to go out.

She darted through the maze in her spaceship, gripping the rudder in her left hand and waving a bag of roasted meat around in her right.

"Energy-boosting roasted meat! 166g of building blocks per pack, last pack! If it's a three-piece set fragment, just add another 66g of attribute building blocks to exchange for it!"

"6, a magical number! Those who know, know."

"Each player is limited to two purchases."

Soon, a player raised his hand to stop her spaceship and bought the roast meat with a three-piece set fragment and 66g of building blocks.

After Yu Xunge flew the spaceship to the no-man's land, he used the [Carnival Begins] skill on the wall to restore mana.

Despite not seeing any other players around, Yu Xunge still activated the Teletubbies for 1 second, summoned the Deep Blue Ship's Helm, and arrived at the Ferris wheel's waiting area.

The little gingerbread man gave the player who kept coming back every few minutes a resentful look, then glanced at B8017913, who was handing over several portions of roast meat to Zaijiuxungege. These two were completely treating the Ferris wheel game waiting area as their home...

Presumably to prevent players from bringing too much food into the game and thus avoiding the impact on their energy level, the food sold in these food trucks cannot be stored in the game space.

Worried that carrying too much at once would lead to other players taking it all, Yu Xunge could only come out every few minutes to grab a few bags, and also transfer the ordinary building blocks she got to B8017913. She kept the three-piece game item building block set on herself to cover the game fee.

She earned her money through hard work!

Although a serving of grilled meat costs 35g of building blocks at the food truck... while she sells it for 166g, that's a really good price!

For just 166g of building blocks, you can avoid losing 8% of your attributes – that's an epicly low price!

Yu Xunge initially wanted Tu Lan to source the food from the amusement park in February, where the food was cheaper. However, after trying it herself and comparing the two, she found that the barbecue from the amusement park in February did not provide as much energy as the barbecue from the amusement park in March.

To be fair to consumers, she gave up the supply from Tulan and chose to have B8017913 purchase goods from the amusement park in March. She had a clear conscience.

Of course, she wouldn't dare say that in the battlefield chat channel...

Even though she believes she has already adopted a strategy of small profits but quick turnover, 60% of the messages in the battlefield chat channel are from players from the March Maze, and she doesn't want to elaborate on what they're saying.

In Tulan's words, "I am powerless to protect your square."

That's complete nonsense!

Tu Lan never helped her guard the place!
