Chapter 134 Paper Town

"East, recover 3 pieces."

"South, recover 5 pieces."

"Two pieces..."

"north……"

Unlike the players in the maze, several members of the Newcomer Alliance can harvest a large number of shrine fragments on the walls of the maze without having to do anything.

Those vines were like spider silk, and they could be directly manipulated to act as tentacles and capture the items they needed.

But the purpose of their trip was obviously not just a temporary shrine rewarded by the system.

"There are 100 pieces in total. Excluding the ones that haven't landed yet, about half of them are in the possession of other players."

Yao Su pushed up his glasses and looked at the girl covered in flower vines: "Qiangwei, how are you doing?"

Lin Qiangwei is now the mother of the maze. Her reaction has become a little slow. She said slowly: "I can still think for the time being."

"The bugs on Tingting's side have been hatched. Now we just have to wait for the players..." Yao Su frowned and saw the new reimbursement form with a label.

Maze maintenance costs...

Construction of maze defense facilities...

This is the work of two out-of-towners, Lao V, an electrician, and Yuan Qiang, a civil engineering graduate who provided construction materials.

This reimbursement means that the players are rebelling against the maze and have taken the initiative to commit certain destructive behaviors, so the two have to reimburse the corresponding expenses and start working.

This was earlier than she expected.

Pushing her glasses on the bridge of her nose, she spoke decisively:

"Plan ahead and release the bugs first. These players seem to have reacted."

According to the original plan, the players of the maze would fight each other for a while because of mutual suspicion and only care about the fragments in front of them. It was not until the state of the maze became more and more complete that they could unite briefly.

This process will not be easy, especially when everyone is a competitor.

With all the new and old grudges from the past few days added up, it was difficult for a mediator to keep everyone clear-headed. Obviously, she had underestimated some of these players.

After Yao Su spoke, Lin Qiangwei took a few seconds to understand and think. She blinked, stretched out her hand, and hooked the vines flying in front of her with her fingertips, rapidly deepening her control over the entire maze.

Not far away, a light flashed inside a heavily wrapped cocoon.

Although Miao Tingting is busy dealing with other things now, she obviously has a certain perception of the outside world. When she heard what her accountant said, she took decisive action.

In the maze, the poisonous insects hidden under the layers of leaves that looked like leaves also began to move together.

They waved their tentacles, smelled the air, and quietly surrounded every inhabited corner of the maze.

Somewhere in the maze.

Lin Qun spoke until his throat was hoarse, and finally the group of people in front of him half-believed his words and half-doubted them. At least they stopped fighting. But within two minutes, the ground suddenly shook.

"What's going on? Just a second ago, we agreed to coexist peacefully, and now you're secretly using a skill card!?"

Those who were more vigilant immediately became furious, and their eyes quickly locked onto the players who could have an impact on the ground.

"I give up. Use your pig brain. This kind of noise cannot be caused by a skill card. It's a maze!"

Just as the man said, the fence walls of the maze seemed to be endowed with vitality, and groups of human-shaped objects, wearing dark green vegetation armor, walked down the walls.

It seemed like a guard who had transformed into a human form.

This is not the worst. The rustling sound of leaves rustling against each other makes one guess that the number of insects is increasing rapidly.

Lin Qun immediately woke up Xiao Cong who was dozing off at the back and launched him into the air.

"What are you guys still standing there for? Do you think there are other players who can really make such a big noise in the maze? It's because there are not enough fragments in the sky to share, so they started fighting with others. Why don't you run away!"

After Lin Qun finished saying this, he jumped onto the gourd and quickly disappeared from the open space, leaving the others in chaos.

It's not completely chaotic. Compared to before when they would fight each other and steal things from others, these people now know how to unite and start from the maze first.

A large number of fence guards, holding weapons made of vegetation in their hands, seemed to be born with sensing abilities, and would chase after one person in the crowd and attack him fiercely.

The person being attacked reacted quickly and realized that the target was indeed the fragments.

"MD fight them!"

The clarion call for counterattack was sounded, and this was exactly the effect Qiao Song wanted.

When she was flying around the maze on her pterosaur, she saw a large number of guards called out by the maze owner, who were already fighting with the players. The attack patterns of those things were similar to the paper beasts they had encountered before. Moreover, the players themselves could also purchase high-level paper beasts produced by the copy themselves in the counter, so they were not completely powerless to fight back.

The only thing that Qiao Song found strange was that the master of the maze seemed to be completely unconcerned about the counterattack of a large number of players.

Qiao Song flew and observed all the way and found that most of the paper beasts were actively provoking the players' hostility, while the poisonous insects that were taking advantage of the situation were not so conspicuous.

She narrowed her eyes, jumped off Little Feather's back, chopped down a green maze guard with an axe, and saw densely packed black poisonous insects inside its body.

Something is wrong. These guards are not the main attacking force. The poisonous insects are.

Ding Dong.

At the same time, in several places, some people who were fighting three hundred battles with the guards received the same message alert.

Amidst the flying lottery tickets, Lin Xuan, dressed up as a swordsman, looked a bit out of place but was having a great time.

Aunt Huo, with a frown on her face, was holding a wooden box in her arms, standing next to the group of cats that were nimbly beating up the guards.

He used a textbook to whip Tang Xiaoxiao, the guard who was more than ten times bigger than him.

Qiao: The guards are just a decoy, be careful of the poisonous insects.

The little girl quickly glanced at the content on her phone, began to reduce her defense against the guards, and instead showed signs of running away with Jin Jiaqi.

The latter realized something and suddenly felt a little dissatisfied.

"Xiao Xiao, we can't just run away. I've observed that the attack power of these things is not as strong as the large paper beasts we encountered before. Logically, you should be able to defeat them."

Jin Jiaqi stayed in the game until the second round just to get the shrine. Now that she had finally tricked a gold medal fighter, how could she give up so easily?

Tang Xiaoxiao continued to carry out her previous stupid high school student persona, explaining hesitantly: "But Sister Jiaqi, the bugs suddenly became much better, I'm a little scared."

After hearing what she said, Jin Jiaqi noticed that, as expected, under the defeated green guards, there were indeed a large number of small black bugs that suddenly fell to the ground like dust.

Only some vague black spots could be seen on the guards who were still able to move.

Wouldn't that mean the entire guard's body is filled with bugs?

When she thought about what the hell was under those green leaves, her face turned pale.

Tang Xiaoxiao had tried it before and found out that this person seemed to be a little afraid of insects, but he had no shortage of ways to deal with poisonous insects.

When Jin Jiaqi met Miao Tingting at the lake before, she showed obvious hostility. The two may have known each other before.

Coupled with this guy's special skills, it is impossible for him not to be on guard against Miao Tingting.

As expected, after realizing who created the poisonous insect, Jin Jiaqi's face turned from white to green.

She quickly took out a large number of insecticides of various sizes from her pocket.

"I knew it was this damn guy. Luckily I was prepared. This shameless guy even wanted to use the poisonous insect to control me!"

She was not that afraid of the attacks of the red paper beasts, the maze guards or even the maze itself, but she was very worried about these little bugs.

The biggest advantage of being an undercover agent on Jin Jiaqi's side is that there is always a sufficient supply of props, and you can get a lot of information.

As her gold medal fighter, Tang Xiaoxiao was quickly equipped with a large number of insect repellents and some props that could effectively kill insects.

"Almost all of the insects of this Gu girl are going in the direction of control. You must be careful of those inconspicuous little insects. Don't think that they will only bite you and hurt you. Once you are bitten many times, the poisoning is only a minor one. Before you know it, you will become Miao Tingting's puppet."

When Jin Jiaqi spoke, her eyes couldn't help but drift towards Tang Xiaoxiao's hair.

There was a crystal plastic hairpin pinned there, which was the sister flower hairpin she used to influence Tang Xiaoxiao's mind.

Once they were attacked by too many poisonous insects, the gold medal fighters she had trained with a lot of props would be controlled by the insects and become a direct victim of others, so Jin Jiaqi was particularly generous this time.

Tang Xiaoxiao blinked slowly, said thank you with her signature clear and silly student smile, and then quickly packed up all the insecticides given to her by the other party.

As usual, she walked at the front to lead the way, and had already sent a message to the group.

Soon, after they left this corner of the maze, several kittens came out from the other side of the fence.

With their tails raised, they sniffed around and soon found a discarded package in a corner.

The kittens left with the packages and quickly began making deliveries.

Lin Xuan, who was wearing a knight's costume and holding a handful of lottery tickets, Aunt Huo, who was surrounded by a group of cats, and Qiao Song, who had already got off the back of the pterosaur, all received the things in the package.

From bottles of medicine to sprays to insect repellent bags, everything is available.

Jin Jiaqi, who was being fleeced, gradually realized that something was wrong. Although she was a little frightened by the influence of the poisonous insect, her items were consumed too quickly.

It is true that her ability is Yiwu's small shopping mall. The number of goods is as many as thousands, and it can be replenished at any time through a special channel, but Tang Xiaoxiao's consumption speed still makes her feel a little painful.

"Xiao Xiao, why do you keep going to places where there are a lot of bugs? If you keep going like this, our props will be consumed too much. The things I gave you are not meant to be used this way..."

However, before she could finish her words, Tang Xiaoxiao quickly used up the last bottle of spray, pretended to be surprised, and pointed to a place in front of her where there was a fire.

"Sister Jiaqi, we seem to have reached the center of the maze."

Jin Jiaqi's attention was quickly diverted, and she was immediately overwhelmed by joy. After killing a large number of poisonous insects blocking their way, they actually found the ownerless campfire base in the center of the maze!

Things like the campfire base are quite conspicuous, and the flame cannot be extinguished.

The biggest weakness of the maze lies in the owner of the maze, who must be an ordinary human body. Therefore, in order to avoid being wiped out, the owner of the maze will definitely not put himself together with such a conspicuous campfire base.

Isn’t this a good bargain?

This time she didn't blame Tang Xiaoxiao for wasting it. She quickly took out a white, worn-out loudspeaker commonly used by street vendors and pressed the red and blue switch on it. A well-known voice in the streets and alleys instantly rang out.

[Recycling of second-hand mobile phones, air conditioners, refrigerators, liquefied gas stoves, rice cookers——]

[On country roads or places with inconvenient transportation, there is always a voice of selling goods. A second-hand machine may only cost two or three hundred yuan to sell to a child, but I can only exchange it for a stainless steel basin. What, you say it is not worth it? Then go sell it to a child. The sales channel is the most precious, my friend]

[Any second-hand item that hears the sound of a speaker exchange can be exchanged if the bid is high enough (the speaker will automatically depreciate on the other side, after all, you can always make a little more money by buying second-hand items)]

The main purpose of this loudspeaker is to exchange ownerless items for equal value.

As long as the owner of the item is not nearby, she can achieve her goal without anyone noticing.

Based on Jin Jiaqi's understanding of Miao Tingting's group, they must have just placed some surveillance cameras nearby and left all the dirty work to the maze itself. The people in the Newcomer Alliance love to plan and hide behind the scenes. Although the attrition rate of newcomers is high, the old players are all like their president, like immortal old ghosts. Over the years, the decision-makers of the guild are all familiar faces.

Those guys love to hide and ambush others, so they definitely won’t come out on their own.

A familiar beep soon came from the loudspeaker in her hand -

[Negotiation of second-hand items is successful, and the exchange begins]

Jin Jiaqi's eyes lit up.

She has the most scrap metal here! If you can exchange some of it for the base of the shrine hidden by the owner of the maze, it will definitely be a huge profit!

A minute later, she used a few plastic washing basins and successfully moved to the campfire base in the distance.

"Hmm? It's empty..."

Jin Jiaqi hesitated for a second, but she was not discouraged. After all, she would think there was something wrong if the shrine base, which was often in fragments, could be obtained so easily.

But the idea is correct.

"Xiaoxiao, let's continue to move towards where there are more insects. Don't worry about consuming items!"

She said that placing so many maze guards must not be just to provide cover for the poisonous insects.

They are protecting the campfire base in the maze area, and the thing that Jingwei is spending so much time protecting must not be just the base. They will see which area has the tightest defense, and that is where they will find the good stuff they want.

This time, Jin Jiaqi did not criticize Tang Xiaoxiao for her extravagant spending. She went to places with the most poisonous insects. Although she usually appeared to be stingy, she actually had a lot of good things hidden on her body.

Tang Xiaoxiao did not completely use props to take shortcuts, and also made extensive use of his own reference books for defense, to avoid the situation where he would only use the small props provided by others when he returned to the team.

Jin Jiaqi still sat firmly in the balloon defense basket, but there were a few more firework tubes around her.

[Gorgeous fireworks, Chinese New Year unblocked version]

The label said fireworks, but they looked more like machine guns, water guns or other objects.

The fireworks in Gatling state exploded in minutes, waving out countless fire dragons, directly clearing the way in the front.

This thing is very powerful, so she keeps it for her own use and doesn't dare to give it directly to others, even to her companions who are controlled by the plastic sisters props.

But those given to Tang Xiaoxiao were also quite useful, and the key point was that the quantity was huge.

Without her knowing, the naive and gullible high school students continued to take away about 1/3 of the props and stuffed them into the corners of the road where they passed.

Shortly after they left, the air was still filled with the charred color of the dead poisonous insects. The fence wall was slowly repairing itself, and soon kittens began to run through it, snatching away the packages in the corners.

In addition to the previous ones, after several rounds, the rest of the people also received tool support.

The network connected by kittens quickly became a flexible supply point.

【Cat Force】

[The grateful kittens will travel thousands of miles to send you little mice, little birds, and fluttering big bugs. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like them, the cats can also help you send other things. ]

The black and white cow cat nimbly moves in the fence and appears in the shadows. It is rarely discovered, but this cannot be hidden from Lin Qiangwei who monitors the maze in real time.

The entire maze was under her control, but she couldn't monitor the sounds over there in real time, so she only knew that the tools the cat took out came from Jin Jiaqi's hands.

Meanwhile, she was also aggressively attacking the center of the maze, with the campfire bases constantly moving. There were already three bases without fragments, which she had created using a special method.

Lin Qiangwei and Jin Jiaqi had only dealt with each other a few times, but she knew that she and Sister Tingting did not get along well.

"Rose, the number of fragments on my display is decreasing. What's going on?"

Yao Su cannot monitor the maze, but he can see the changes in his own assets.

"It's Jin Jiaqi."

The girl with vines wrapped around her body pulled out one hand.

"Somehow she has found a way to buy up the bonfire bases we hid in the maze."

Yao Su frowned and raised his wrist to look at the time on his watch.

"We are preparing that thing, how is it going?"

"That thing is fine. I hid it well. Sister Tingting's guardian insects are just a trick."

"Well, you should always pay attention to your own state and don't get too involved. Being immersed in manipulation is not always a good thing."

"I know, Sister Susu."

After saying this, Lin Qiangwei closed her eyes again and immersed herself in the feeling of controlling the maze.

Yao Su observed her condition carefully and found that she was still quite conscious, so he looked away and notified Old V to speed up the repair of the wall and release all the paper beasts soon.

After the maze occupies most of the land area of ​​the copy game, it will automatically establish a certain connection with the local copy.

What they have to do is not to suppress the copy, but to cooperate with the copy. It is time to let the red paper beast chase the players and achieve the purpose of the copy.

The walls of the maze began to wriggle again, and without the player's knowledge, the red paper beasts that had been actively isolated by the maze to prevent the player from direct contact were moved.

The paper beast, which was originally trapped in a maze and couldn't touch anything, suddenly found that there were wide passages in front of it, leading directly to where the human players were.

The red behemoths gathered and moved quickly.

Few players could notice the slight changes in the maze. They used to just go wherever they went. This situation became more and more serious after the leader obtained bags of pesticides specifically for poisonous insects.

The cowboy held a cake knife in his hand and glanced up at the sky sharply.

There are crisscrossing paths with vertical and horizontal vine passages.

"Aunt Huo, your cat has delivered supplies several times, but hasn't explored the map of the maze yet?"

Aunt Huo, who seemed a bit out of place among the group of embarrassed players, was holding a white kitten and said in a calm tone: "They are just kittens. Do you still expect the kittens to draw pictures?"

The cowboy thought to himself, I'm not a fool, you cats obviously know all kinds of skills.

Fortunately, he is not a member of his team and knows what to say and what not to say.

In front of him, his two crazy teammates, one was clearing the way with heavy firepower from a military game weapon, while the other one had already changed his hand to a killer tennis ball that was commonly seen in a famous hot-blooded comic.

Together with the rest of the players in Nishimura, they are currently the most united group.

Oh no, not entirely.

At least the players who were bribed by Fu Chunyou and cooperated with each other through contracts were quite united.

"Hey, we missed several meteorites in a row, and there's not a single fragment of the bases we found in the maze. Do you think they collected all the fragments in some way?"

Aunt Huo held the cat and squeezed the kitten's paws.

"I don't know. I'm not interested in those things."

Seeing that she was unmoved and looked like she was just waiting for the time to end and pass the level automatically, the cowboy knew that there was no way out here.

Tsk, it seems that the people Qiao Song knows only listen to her. So where has she gone?

Didn’t Fu Chunyou give her a huge investment? What did that guy do with it?

The investment Qiao Song received was in the form of a check, which she had not used yet.

Fu Chunyou said that he could only write one such large check with one copy, and the number on it was so high that even Qiao Song, who had won a generous bonus from Hearse Entertainment, would be surprised if he saw it.

Her shrine is still functioning and can support the consumption of the water pipes for the time being.

The fish killer Jiang Yi and the college student Xiao Wang behind him worked together and quickly put out the bonfires below with water pipes.

With the cooperation of the players, the number of burning campfire bases in the entire maze, and even in the entire dungeon game venue, decreased instead of increased. However, the maze did not interfere with them. The main reason was that Qiao Song mainly used an indiscriminate attack, and the players from all teams had their fires extinguished by her.

The players can no longer catch the meteorites falling from the sky, and everything outside the sky is intercepted one by one by the layers of vine networks at the top of the maze.

As one side eliminates the other, the Newcomer Alliance's maze is sure to make a profit.

At least after Lin Qiangwei tried a little and found that she couldn't catch the other party, she planned to let Qiao Song harass other players first.

Therefore, she is the freest person in the entire airspace.

Another major reason is that the small feathers have too strong penetrating power.

Those fence walls that still had the ability to repair themselves were completely unable to stop the pterosaurs in their sprinting state.

Jiang Yi, who was behind Qiao Song, was holding a water pipe and was tired from putting out the fire. Xiao Wang was standing at the back with a sullen look on his face. After all, he didn't seem to be able to help in any way, as Brother Jiang's eyesight and strength were better than his.

Song Qiaojie asked him to stay alert, but he did nothing before the pterosaur penetrated the fence wall, and the poisonous insects and various attacks inside were not spared.

Except for going down once to get some insect extermination tools given by a kitten that appeared out of nowhere, they never went down again and kept flying around in the maze.

"What's flying around?"

Jiang Yi, who had finally had a chance to rest after putting down the water pipe, patted his head and asked the stupid college student to look at the map drawn by the girl in front.

Xiao Wang tilted his head to take a look, and was very surprised to find a three-dimensional magic map as shown in Figure 4D.

It looked like a map of a maze, but it was over, he couldn't even seem to understand the map.

When Qiao Song saw him looking at him, he raised the map in his hand and pointed in a direction.

"We're going to go here again later. When we do, be alert and see if there's anything strange nearby."

Xiao Wang nodded immediately: "Is it a warning player, or a paper beast?"

After thinking about the other creatures in the maze, he asked again: "Or maybe it's the Rose Guardian, or the Gu worm?"

Qiao Song shook his head: "Everything in the maze is easy to solve, you just need to focus on the players and the paper beasts."

Xiao Wang was puzzled: "But since we entered the maze, the walls here have been changing. It seems that most of the paper beasts have been isolated."

This is also the only privilege he thinks players can get after being trapped in the maze.

The player who built the maze is a pretty nice guy.

Jiang Yi immediately looked at him with a complicated look and sighed: "The owner of the maze and other players are all competitors. How can they do pure good things? You should be more careful."

Qiao Song immediately nodded his chin and asked him to look down.

The innocent college student, who just didn't understand why the elder brother scolded him, immediately saw the red paper beasts moving densely below.

If the paper beasts scattered across the game map before could be defeated one by one by players, then these paper beasts separated by the maze and now gathered together in an army are a bit frightening to look at.

The only good news is that they can't fly.

"Why are you all gathered together? If we meet..."

However, the college student soon discovered a scene that he could not understand. There were obviously a large number of red paper beasts gathered, and it seemed as if they wanted to kill all the players. But when he looked closely in the maze, it seemed that countless transparent display cabinets appeared.

The price tags clearly shown above are still painful to look at, but it’s just like in a zombie game, where after the zombie army gathers, they immediately start airdropping supplies.

However, you need to pay by credit card for the supply boxes.

Xiao Wang was confused, and suddenly recalled the scene when he entered the school as a freshman and was picked up by a free bus, and his seniors were selling him phone cards.

And the maze is like that bus.

Why is this so strange? Isn't this just encouraging players to spend money?

It's not really dangerous. You can save your life by spending money. At least the quality of the paper beasts produced locally in the copy is obvious to all.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t spend money, as long as you have good skills and talent, the paper beasts you make can fight five people at the same time.

Of course, there is almost no one who can fight five people at once. The fighting session in the Paper-Zha Town is just like a business.

This feeling of déjà vu, why does it feel so similar to a shopping mall that sells a large amount of supplies?

When Xiao Wang was imagining things, Qiao Song suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Keep an eye on this area for me to see if there are any players with special auras."

Xiao Wang was stunned. What kind of aura is this?

His detection skills are strange. He is indeed very sensitive to things that pose a greater threat, but they are now sitting on the back of a pterosaur, so his vision should be pretty good.

The guy that Qiao Song is looking for has a very good cover skill, which is difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Xiao Wang then realized that they seemed to have flown to the map area that Song Qiaojie had previously marked.

The fragile college student used his skills to feel it carefully. There were large areas of fences and walls below, and there was no sign of a living person. There were only some transparent display cabinets in the corners, or inconspicuous bushes that were common in mazes.

Huh? Wait.

When flying over a certain area, Xiao Wang felt a chill on his back, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

Just like when you are taking an advanced math class in college, when the teacher wants someone to answer a question, you know that as long as you look up at the teacher, you will definitely be called up to answer the question or do the homework.

Xiao Wang has this feeling now.

From the bushes I just flew over, I felt the oppressive feeling that is unique to advanced mathematics teachers.

Qiao Song saw his face suddenly turn pale, and then he pointed in a certain direction tremblingly, and he immediately understood.

She quickly pulled the feathers on Little Feather's neck: "There—"

Below, a certain chef who had switched to ginger state, hiding himself and something, sighed.

He couldn't help but mutter a few words: "How can this be found?"

Quickly breaking free of Ginger's imitation status, his location soon emerged from the bushes.

At the same time, the two things that he was tightly grasping in his hands were revealed.

That was the biggest loot from the previous chaos.

Two Black Bone players being chased by the Butcher.

Although they no longer resemble human beings and look half-dead, these two people are still useful.

Once the concealment was lifted, some unknown changes occurred in the sky. People in the maze could not see it clearly, but it was very obvious to people outside the maze.

Round after round of meteorites gathered together, like thousands of troops in the sky, gathering together countless flames, and there was no other light behind them. It was obvious that this was the last round of meteorites.

These heavenly fires carried special fragments and smashed directly towards a certain direction of the maze.

Qiao Song’s purpose was not to find the cook or to steal something from him, but to wait for the last round of heavenly fire to arrive.

When the powerful meteorite hit the top of the maze from the outside, it was almost intercepted by the vines that had been waiting for a long time.

But the loud rumbling sound could not be blocked out.

This time, the movement was almost like heavy weapons attacking the entire maze.

Most of the players scattered around the maze were in a daze, not knowing what the sudden noise meant. Only Qiao Song and the cook who had already captured the two men knew.

If the maze wants to monopolize all the bonfires and fragments, there must be a largest bonfire base to serve as a warehouse.

The poisonous insect is a decoy, protecting fake items without any fragments. So when the last round of fragments lands at a certain location, you just need to wait and see where the fragments will be transmitted to, and you will naturally know the treasure nest of the maze creator.

The cook sighed.

So, what he hates most is competing with people who are smart and proactive in the same copy. It's really tiring.

Qiao Song stared at the veins in the sky that flowed like blood vessels and quickly found the target.

"Hurry up, let's divide the loot."
