Chapter 151 Screaming Game Hall

"You mean, you accidentally created a luck-related prop card, and it took effect on you..."

Xin Yue, who was mainly responsible for collecting raw materials, found it unbelievable.

Qiao Song once got the method of making a prop card from Gao Chengcheng, which included a set of ghost materials, a set of player skills, and a blank card face.

The raw materials are sold at the stalls in the ghost market, and Qiao Song has also bought them several times at convenience stores before.

The blank card surface is something left after the extremely special prop card is used.

For example, the Wishing Star Universal Card, which Qiao Song has only encountered once in the convenience store novice copy.

For example, after clearing the Hell Community, the crow will trade for an additional enhanced version of the Hell's Gate item card.

The props made by players and the skills filled in by the card maker almost determine the function of this card.

Qiao Song also said that her skills themselves have nothing to do with luck. The item that can bring her bad luck should be affected by the scrapped doom coin itself.

She had already synthesized a universal prop card once, and thought that she had to get the player's confirmation before she could synthesize a new one. Who knew that the prop card could also get into the shrine by itself.

Bubbles began to appear on the plague doctor's bird-shaped mask:

[Your situation is indeed rare. Making a prop card does not always succeed.]

[The blank card left after the special card is used, when making a new item, the first success rate is 50%, the second success rate is 25%, and the third success rate is 12.5%, and so on, decreasing in sequence. However, if there is a shrine, the item card that meets the conditions will automatically drill into it, actively increasing the success rate. ]

The probability is reduced by half each time, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to make a fortune by selling prop cards.

Blank cards are not circulated in the market. Except for some players who make their own props, other people don’t even know what they are.

Another guess in Qiao Song's mind was finally confirmed.

Gao Chengcheng may also have a shrine.

If you sell raw materials for a long time, or even make your own prop cards and sell them, having a shrine can greatly increase the success rate of card making.

But before Qiao Song experienced the copy and got the relevant information, Gao Chengcheng did not dare to reveal the news easily.

The two copies, Paper Town and Hell Community, were both suggested by Gao Chengcheng.

"Your friend is right. The sooner players take the initiative to access information related to the shrine, the sooner they will have more initiative."

Xin Yue sighed, "After all, not everyone can own this thing. I've been to the paper-folding town before, but I only learned how to make paper and have seen a few fragments. A real shrine is not something that ordinary people can own."

Here, there are less than ten people, but there are three shrines.

But Xin Yue still felt something was wrong.

After all, Qiao Song said that she didn't have the raw materials for the Doom Gold Coin, only a damaged Doom Gold Coin.

"Using waste derivatives to create a finished item card, is this really a joke?"

This is already a question of whether mass is conserved. It is equivalent to using the remaining ice cream wrapper after eating the ice cream and throwing it into the ice cream machine to make a new ice cream.

"This is incredible, Captain, is there anyone in your guild who can do this?"

The plague doctor remained silent, and seemed a little surprised: [No]

Qiao Song suddenly looked at the plague doctor again: "Didn't they say that the Eye of Wisdom only has one member?"

Why does it sound like there are non-staff members?

Xin Yue sighed, "The only one still alive and able to move freely is indeed the captain. The others are trapped in Zootopia."

The plague doctor nodded, and new bubbles floated out from beside his head:

[Blank cards, ghost materials, and skill derivatives are three necessities. Even I can't be without any of them.]

Qiao Song's experience is like the garbage in the trash can at home crawling out by itself and forming a new card with the other two materials.

"Perhaps this is the reason why the newly created prop card does not have the magical effect of the original Doom Coin."

The prop card that You Yitong used on her at that time would make a person lucky for a short period of time, and then for a long period of time afterwards, he would be very unlucky and encounter various life-and-death crises.

Qiao Song, this unfinished product, can only bring her bad luck at the moment. There is no sign of luck at all, but he will not let her encounter anything that could lead to her death.

[Do you carry that card with you now? Let me check it for you.]

Qiao Song: "In the shrine."

Xin Yue suddenly perked up: "Can we visit your shrine while we're at it?"

She squinted her eyes and said, "Among the members of our alliance, only the captain has this thing. I haven't seen anyone else's."

Lou Keqing also came over. Although she had never been to the Paper-Zha Town dungeon, she seemed to know what the shrine was. It seemed that she had obtained related information in other dungeons of the Twelve Committees.

"I remember that the attributes of the shrine seem to be related to the player's attributes. Is it possible that Qiao Qiao's shrine affects the effect of the prop card..."

Wen Haoqian also became interested: "That seems to be the case. I remember the captain's shrine was like an urn. If I looked at it for a few more seconds, I would feel exhausted and just want to rot in the corner of the room."

A circle of bubbles floated out of the person being complained about: [When you begged me to show you the shrine, that's not what you said...]

It was rare to meet a player who also had a shrine, so Qiao Song did not refuse. This was also the reason why she asked Aunt Huo to come over, so that several shrine players could exchange information together.

Aunt Huo, with the kitten still lying on her body, quickly brought out a small wooden box.

There are some very tiny claw marks on the box, as if it was made carefully and painstakingly by some small animal.

The box is not big, but it has a very warm smell, like wood that has been exposed to the afternoon sun, and it feels like a cat would lie down in it on its own initiative.

"Well, this shrine looks so comfortable."

Xin Yue expressed everyone’s thoughts.

The silent plague doctor also took out his own shrine, which was a pure black thing that really looked like an urn.

The box exuded a cold and solemn aura, as if there was an invisible black air floating around. If you looked at it for a long time, it would feel as if you were being sucked in.

The owner of the box patted it and quickly put the item back.

[Leaving it outside for too long will have a bad effect on you. 】

Wen Haoqian complained: "Both make people want to take a nap, but Auntie Huo's is so sunny, while the captain's makes people want to sleep forever."

Qiao Song looked at the box and then at its owner.

Could it be that this person is really a plague doctor, and not what I thought?

Soon, she took out the wooden box from her home.

It was an ordinary shrine that looked finely crafted and made of good wood. If you had to say anything, there was nothing particularly outstanding about it compared to the other two.

"Why is it so big?"

The shrines that Aunt Huo and the captain had before were both the size that a normal person could hug. Qiao Song’s shrine looked about the same size as a 26-inch suitcase. She held it for a while and then put it directly on the ground.

"There are a lot of things that were recently put in there. Wait for me to look for them."

She just reached in from the front as if she was opening a suitcase, as if she had touched some invisible space.

The boy, girl and the little nun were not there, and there was no living thing in the shrine. She fumbled for a moment and took out a floating prop card.

There was an old gray gold coin spinning on the card.

【Doom Coin】

[This is an incomplete semi-finished item. It will continue to reduce the luck of the holder. If you are doing any activity that requires luck, please do not carry it. ]

When Qiao Song entered the blind box mall, he considered whether to take out this prop card and dispose of it, but he encountered two problems.

First, the words "incomplete semi-finished prop" on the prop description reminded her that the birth of this thing might be related to the shrine, and she had to find a way to verify it.

The second is that there are no trash cans in the blind box mall, and the props are all bound.

"What kind of unlucky star card is this..." Wen Haoqian's mouth twitched.

He finally understood why this lady, when she was completing the vegetable-growing game, had a very high evaluation and received good blind box rewards, but all she got were B-level items.

The destructive power of this card in the blind box mall is simply too great, it is simply a nightmare for non-Africans.

The plague doctor took the prop card. Qiao Song saw him slowly take off his leather gloves and gently stroke the surface of the card with his slightly abnormally white hands.

The guy who often makes prop cards is indeed very knowledgeable about this and quickly deduced a possibility.

[It should be because the raw materials are incomplete. Your shrine not only increases the probability of a blank card generating an item card for the second time, but also automatically completes the missing skills. ]

The bubbles dissipated and he handed the card back.

[Or you can go to the origin of the gold coins and replenish the raw materials. This should be able to adjust the ability of this card back and remove the bad luck buff. ]

Qiao Song: "Can we also find the raw materials for Doom Coins in the blind box mall?"

The ghost materials used to make item cards are just batteries after all, and what really determines the skills are the skill derivatives.

Either inject the skill directly or use a skill derivative to fuse it.

Xin Yue pounded her left palm with her right fist: "I know where the captain is talking about, the Screaming Game Hall, right?"

Lou Keqing frowned: "Isn't that place closed?"

Scream Game Hall is a relatively famous game hall copy in the blind box mall. It is highly commercialized and players can use soul coins to draw game coin blind boxes directly on the card recharging machine.

There will be game coins in each blind box, but when you are lucky, the number of soul coins will be more. If you are unlucky, 100 soul coins may only be able to exchange for one game coin.

"That place is on the -39th floor. Before entering, you have to go to the 39th floor to buy a blind box of game coins. After entering, you will never have another chance to recharge game coins."

Moreover, this place is very simple and unpretentious, not much different from the game halls in the real world, and almost every machine inside will automatically drop blind boxes.

From claw machine games to shooting games, even dance machines, King of Fighters arcade machines, gold coin tower defense games, etc., they all have it.

For ordinary players, as long as they are familiar with the basic rules of the game, it is quite easy to play the game that they are good at in real life in this copy and get a few ordinary prop cards.

"Every month, there are players who collect a complete set of props from the arcade and combine them into some professional suits, so this can be considered a fixed local refresh point."

After hearing what Xin Yue said, Qiao Song immediately turned to Lou Keqing and said, "Looking at your expression just now, it seems that this place is not as simple as it seems on the surface?"

Lou Keqing sighed. "It's really easy to get items in the arcade. It's not as difficult to collect a complete set of professional items here as in other games. But there's something notorious outside the door."

Xin Yue sighed, knowing what Lou Keqing was talking about: "Soul vending machine."

Qiao Song's expression changed slightly.

The first time she heard about the soul vending machine was at the Newbie's Initial Rules Convenience Store. She once stuffed a ghost into the machine in exchange for soul coins.

But judging from Lou Keqing's expression, it didn't look like there was a ghost stuffed in the machine.

Wen Haoqian pushed up his sunglasses. It seemed that his brother and sister had been in there before and were familiar with the situation. He explained with a grin, "Some games in the arcade require special game coins. I heard that the blind boxes you get after winning the game are all S-level."

People in the game hall call this special coin the soul coin.

"You can only get that kind of soul coin by putting human players into the vending machine."

In other words, if you want to get a specific S-level blind box in this mall, there is a clear way - attack other players.

Qiao Song felt the obvious malice of the owner of the arcade copy.

"So that place is a rare area with a very high player loss rate. Of course, most of them did not die in the game, but died at the hands of their peers."

Wen Haoqian's tone was somewhat sarcastic.

The Plague Doctor was silent for a moment and then, like a cartoon character, dialogue boxes began to float around his body.

[Your Doom Coin comes from a guessing game machine in the Screaming Game Hall. The complete Doom Coin is an A-level item. If you can get the blind box in that machine, even if you don't draw out the item, you have a chance to draw out the raw material.]

Of course, for Qiao Song, his luck was a little bad and he drew the raw materials, which was actually a good thing because he could get rid of this semi-finished gold coin.

She didn't say she was going there right away. Instead, she looked at Lou Keqing and said, "You just said this place is reopened. Does that mean it was closed for a while before?"

Xin Yue hummed, "There was a major incident where a large number of players disappeared. You should know that ordinary dungeons have a minimum clearance rate, right?"

Dungeon NPCs cannot really kill all players. The main system will even actively punish certain dungeon administrators who violate the rules. If it were not for this, the bloodiness of most games would be far beyond imagination.

"It seems that someone has used some unknown method to trick a large number of players into actively exchanging soul coins, which means that they have stuffed their own kind into the soul vending machine."

Each level of mini-games in Blind Box Paradise is like a franchise store opened in a copy. Although there are strict regulations on the clearance rate, the punishment is not that severe.

"It is said that about 80% of the players were killed in that incident. At that time, the mall made a group announcement for the first time, notifying all players that the Scream Arcade was temporarily closed and that players were not recommended to enter in the short term."

It was also because of this incident that many players in the mall knew what the Scream Arcade on the -39th floor was like.

"That's all I can tell you about the situation in that area. It's up to you to decide whether or not you want to go."

It doesn’t matter whether Qiao Song has this low luck buff or not. At most, he will be a little unlucky when drawing cards.

But in the Scream Arcade, it's easy to run into the real scum of this game.

"Well, I'll think about it."

Qiao Song thought of Lin Qun and Xiao Cong. In the fog they encountered at the end of Paper-Zha Town, Xiao Cong's aunt seemed to be stuffed into a vending machine and somehow entered the resurrection game.

Thinking of this, Qiao Song looked around at everyone and said, "Have you heard of the resurrection game?"

Lou Keqing, the Wen siblings, and Dr. Wu all looked confused: "What game?"

At this time, Qiao Song slightly turned his head and saw a circle of bubbles floating around their captain.

The circle of bubbles quickly turned into a substantial circle of screen, instantly isolating everyone else.

"Damn it, Captain, what are you doing? Are you going to tell us little secrets behind our backs again?" Wen Haoqian suddenly shouted.

Qiao Song sensed something and immediately looked at the dialog box floating around the captain:

[This is a game from Zootopia. It’s not time for them to understand it yet.]

[All the rules and games in Zootopia are polluting. Don’t discuss these with them too early.]

After a pause, the Plague Doctor asked again: [Have you encountered any players related to the resurrection game? ]

Qiao Song nodded: "The relatives of that player happened to be in the dungeon with me. We peeked into the memory of the dead player. It is said that she was stuffed into the soul vending machine."

She added, "I have received an invitation to Zootopia and will be there soon."

Qiao Song lowered his eyes and noticed that the captain couldn't help but curl his fingers.

The black leather glove rubbed, as slowly as his owner.

After thinking for a moment, the plague doctor said: [I can only tell you a little bit, the soul vending machine will only appear in the relevant copies of the Twelve Committees. This machine can convert all creatures with souls into liquid coins.]

[The machine itself is not guilty, the one who uses it is guilty. ]

【Don't use it unless necessary. 】

Finally, one final reminder condensed around him.

[The starting point of the resurrection game is in Zootopia. I hope you will not have the opportunity to participate in this game. 】

Qiao Song read the end and suddenly laughed: "Are you wishing me not to die?"

The fingers that had been stroking the leather gloves suddenly stopped.

The bubbles around him dissipated. Wen Haoqian poked his head out, raised his sunglasses, and looked at the two people suspiciously.

"What did you say behind our backs?"

Xin Yue grabbed her curious brother with one arm and said, "You idiot, what the captain tells you not to listen to is usually what you can't listen to, get out of here."

After exchanging basic intelligence, Qiao Song finally determined his next target: the Scream Game Hall on the 39th floor. When asked, Aunt Tang Xiaoxiao and Aunt Huo also wanted to go there in the future.

Regarding joining the alliance, Qiao Song expressed his willingness to cooperate temporarily.

"We have other friends in Zootopia. Aunt Huo and I will be there in the next instance. We'll talk about it then."

The landlady Xin Yue agreed readily.

"Although you haven't officially joined yet, don't worry, we provide food and accommodation for you when you come here. Today's rooms have been refreshed. Do you want to choose a new room?"

Qiao Song and his friends felt that they lived quite well and there was no need to move around frequently, wasting her time on renovating the house.

Landlady Xin Yue said it was okay, as it was the off-season recently and players were busy collecting items.

Lou Keqing was actually a little confused: "It seems that apart from us, no other players have come to your place. What is your hotel for?"

Is it really to earn soul coins?

Wen Haoqian explained cheerfully: "This hotel was opened by my sister to support the normal expenses of several of us. We are just staying here because of a bug. It doesn't matter whether anyone spends money here or not."

In fact, usually everyone doesn’t get together as well as they do today, as everyone goes to the dungeon game to collect blind boxes.

Fatty is not here today. I heard that he is still playing a game and didn’t have time to come out.

"The fat guy's skills are very special. I guess he will soon be able to collect a complete skill set."

Xin Yue finished speaking and patted her brother on the shoulder.

"Your dear sister, I am only one item away from completing my professional set. Little brother, how about accompanying me to brush it?"

Wen Haoqian's face suddenly turned pale, obviously he had been there once.

"Isn't it okay to play a vegetable-growing game? There can also be corresponding blind boxes there."

"No, the probability is too low. Besides, there may be other related props. I have collected enough scraps. I just need a book. I will go to the copy with the book directly."

There seems to be some connection between the various copies in the blind box mall, especially the adjacent ones or the games that are originally on the same level.

In the end, the brother and sister decided to go to a place called the Fairy Tale Museum, and Xin Yue was going to get the last prop book related to her fairy tales.

After discussing the itinerary, everyone went back and had a good night's rest.

The next day, after confirming everyone's wishes, Qiao Song prepared to go to the Scream Game Hall.

In addition to resolving her luck debuff, you can also collect items there and check issues related to the soul vending machine.

After completing the Paper-Zha Town, she hasn't seen any news about Lin Qun and Xiao Cong, and wondered if they had also entered the game hall.

Before entering the game hall, you need to go to the 39th floor to exchange game coins.

After entering the familiar elevator again and swiping the card to select the destination, Qiao Song noticed a familiar figure cowering in the corner.

The other party seemed to have disguised himself. He changed out of his iconic long trench coat, slightly concealed his face, and slightly adjusted his facial features. After the elevator reached the corresponding floor, he immediately rushed out.

Qiao Song, Tang Xiaoxiao and others came to the place to exchange game coins. There was a whole row of blind box machines, just like the capsule toy machines. You put in soul coins and then draw game coins of different amounts.

Qiao Song is still carrying bad luck, so he was very smart and spent a lot of money to buy a blind box.

In the end, she spent 5,000 soul coins and only got 20 game coins...

To be honest, it's really easy for non-Africans to have murderous intentions towards the machines in this mall...

She put in a large amount of banknotes and continued to slowly draw out the game coins.

Although he didn't turn around to look, Qiao Song was always keeping an eye on the corner not far away, and sure enough, he found that the map merchant named Bassen had also quietly exchanged a large number of game coins.

It seems that they have the same destination.

-39th floor, Scream Game Hall.
