Chapter 152 Screaming Game Hall

【Welcome to the Scream Game Hall! Play three games on any game console to complete the game! 】

Not long after coming out of the elevator, the players heard a prompt sound in their ears.

This entire floor is the Scream Game Hall, so as long as you determine your destination and get off the elevator, you will arrive directly at the door of the game hall.

This cannot be called a game hall, but should be called a game city. It can be seen from where they got off the elevator. There are road signs everywhere, pointing to different game areas.

【Massive Multiplayer Competitive Games】

【Casual luck games】

【Micro-control mechanical game】

【Sports Games】

And so on and so forth…

Each sign pointed directly in a direction, and it seemed that various small side doors of the game hall could be seen. Many people got off the elevator at this stop, and many players did not seem to be here for the first time. After figuring out the direction, they went straight to their destination.

The map merchant named Basson also sneaked into the crowd and quickly entered a small hall in the game hall.

Qiao Song narrowed his eyes and noted the door he entered.

At the same time, she also noticed that outside each door, the same machine was placed closest to the door.

There are rows and rows of common claw machines, but most of the things inside are boxes.

【Portable doll, your loyal life partner】

“Is the claw machine just placed outside like this?”

Tang Xiaoxiao also noticed this thing and was looking inside through the glass cabinet.

Lou Keqing felt a little relieved that she could finally see the curiosity and innocence that a girl of this age should have in her.

"This is for replenishing supplies. Only by using the machines inside the arcade can you be considered to be participating in the game."

Little girls generally like this kind of machine that hides pink dolls, but obviously you can't see the dolls directly inside, but rather a series of sealed doll packaging boxes.

Tang Xiaoxiao saw the instructions below the claw machine:

[This machine does not participate in the game settlement project of the game console]

[The blind box doll will carry daily necessities. If you are lucky, you can even take out game coins from the coin doll's pocket~]

The top student Tang Xiaoxiao was not very interested in the doll itself, but she found the key point: "In other words, this is for players who stay in the game hall for a long time?"

Lou Keqing nodded, thinking that the people in Qiao Song’s team were indeed very smart.

"Although the game prompts say that you have to complete at least three game items, you can actually stay in the game hall longer if you want, but most people will leave when they run out of game coins."

Qiao Song then spoke up: "You don't look like you've been to the game hall, how did you get this information?"

Lou Keqing didn't expect that she would figure it out so quickly: "My former teammate came here and she told me."

When she said this, her expression was a little lonely. Qiao Song was silent for a moment and knew what the story was, but he didn't ask any more questions.

In addition to the claw machines, there is a dark corridor in the distance. At the end of the corridor, there are several doors with other machines that are not displayed in the open.

Lou Keqing followed her gaze and said in a cold tone, "That's probably the soul vending machine. It seems that after the last incident, the machine has been separated and I don't know who would secretly use it."

Lou Keqing seemed to be quite disgusted with this kind of players.

Tang Xiaoxiao was also contacting someone on the communicator at this time: "Sister Qiao Song, Jin Jiaqi has also gone in, is it still as we said before?"

Qiao Song nodded: "Since she took the initiative to take you to collect props, of course we can't waste this favor."

The little orange cat jumped down from Aunt Huo's arms, wagging its tail and circling around Tang Xiaoxiao's feet.

"Xiaoju has marked your scent. Go ahead. If you are in danger, contact us immediately."

Tang Xiaoxiao squatted down, hugged Xiaoju and sucked a few times, then made an OK gesture and headed to the other direction of the game hall.

That is the direction of multiplayer competitive games. Tang Xiaoxiao has obviously made an appointment with Jin Jiaqi to form a team.

Lou Keqing seemed to understand: "Are you sending this little girl out as an undercover agent?"

Qiao Song thought about it and said, "Not completely. If both parties know the truth, this shouldn't be called an undercover agent, but a business trip?"

Lou Keqing: ...

God is on a business trip.

Jin Jiaqi is a strange person. She keeps clinging to Tang Xiaoxiao like a sticky candy. Qiao Song thinks that it may not be as simple as Xiaoxiao thinks, that she just wants to find a thug.

"Then I'll play sports games. This suits me and it's just on my way." Lou Keqing is an acrobat by profession. Even if she doesn't use any skills, her body's flexibility and toughness are beyond the reach of ordinary players, so she can perform better in this kind of game.

Now that she knew about the existence of the Ghost Market copy, she could also think of ways to find some suitable new skills for herself.

The prerequisite is that you can collect all the professional suits.

Aunt Huo smiled and hugged the cat: "I won't play those exciting games. Let's go play some luck games with Qiao Qiao."

The so-called luck games are not entirely based on luck. In addition to guessing the size, there are also roulette, gold coin pushing, and even horse lassoing and fishing games.

Lou Keqing went to the sports area and agreed to meet again after finishing the first game.

The kittens on Aunt Huo's body couldn't move when they saw the huge fish billboard hanging on the fishing master's side.

Qiao Song also touched the kitten's head. Even though the little tabby cat was snoring, its eyes were fixed on the lifelike icon on the fishing game without blinking.

Aunt Huo didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she took out the game coins and coaxed the children: "Okay, okay, let's go play here."

The kitten meowed twice, and after clinging to Qiao Song reluctantly just now, it immediately jumped happily onto Aunt Huo's shoulder.

Qiao Song watched them leave, then turned and went to the machine next to the fishing master.

It's time to solve the bad luck on her body. She doesn't want to spend several times more money than others in the blind box mall from eating to sleeping.

The guessing game that the plague doctor mentioned is a simple game in the can of luck.

Each game area in the game hall is not crowded, and each machine is placed far apart. Occasionally, you can see a few players choosing machines.

In fact, the Scream Game Hall is one of the floors with the largest number of players in the blind box mall.

But there are very few people who play this kind of small machine.

Because luck is so illusive, and the simpler the game, the harder it is to use skills to overcome it.

But Qiao Song knew that there was no absolute probability in this world, and sometimes bad luck could be used to influence the outcome of the game.

She doesn't need to win, she just needs to achieve her goal.

[Red and blue cans, guess which side is bigger and which side is smaller? ]

【Please insert 0/2 coin】

Two game coins are enough to play once, which is a very cheap price, provided that Qiao Song's game coins are not drawn from a blind box.

Clank, clank, the game coins were put into the machine. Qiao Song's eyes blurred and he felt that the surrounding environment had changed.

The sky is vast, and small blue and white flowers are blooming on the endless hillside. Looking into the distance, under the clear blue sky, you can even vaguely see the shadow of a castle.

Gradually, the sound of celebratory songs could be heard, and it seemed that some festival was being held in the castle.

Qiao Song and the retro game console in front of him suddenly seemed a little out of place here.

At this moment, small square characters popped up one after another on the screen of the game console.

[A long time ago, in a distant kingdom, the queen gave birth to twins. The aged king needed a prince to inherit his country. According to the iron rule of the kingdom, only the king's heir could stay in the kingdom. The bloodline that failed to inherit the throne would leave the kingdom to establish his own country.

The king did not decide on the candidate for the prince early. He let the two brothers grow up together until the day they were 18 years old, when the kingdom met with a messenger from a neighboring country who came for help.

Their princess was captured by a dragon, and the neighboring country was willing to offer half of its wealth to beg the powerful king to kill the dragon and rescue the princess.

[“The princess will only marry the eldest son, the future king.” said the messenger.]

[Please return to the game console and choose the correct prince before the countdown ends. ]

Two cans, one red and one blue, soon appeared in front of the game console, each with a silhouette of a man wearing a crown.

The countdown showed 5 hours. Qiao Song put her hand on it tentatively and tried it. She could open any jar now.

As long as the answer is correct, she can complete the game and get the reward blind box.

But this is obviously not a pure game of luck, and it does not rely entirely on guessing.

At least the background just now has shown that she can even leave the game console and explore the world freely, and speculate who will be the eldest prince and who will become the king in the end based on the clues and plot she gets.

Just guessing the size, the accuracy probability is 50%, and with her current luck, there is a high probability that she will guess wrong in a blind choice. Qiao Song doesn't care about the blind box reward after guessing correctly, but she needs materials.

If the blind box rewards of Doom Coins are linked to this copy world, then she can indeed go out and take a look.

[Detects the player leaving the game console seat and automatically enters role mode...]

[When the game countdown ends or the player completes the main plot, they can choose to return to the game console...]

[Character loading...]

Qiao Song felt that as soon as his butt left the soft cushioned chair of the game console, a flash of light suddenly appeared on his body.

When she looked down, she found that her casual clothes, which were convenient for her to move in, had turned into a gorgeous and heavy medieval dress.

Soft ribbons, intricately patterned skirts, and finely crafted accessories, layered on her body, make her look like a fragile and beautiful little cake.

Qiao Song: ...

I have a bad feeling.

The surrounding scene had long since changed from a deserted hillside to a royal palace back garden where nobles could enjoy afternoon tea. Less than two seconds after Qiao Song transformed, a maid in the distance suddenly screamed, and the roar of some creature was heard from the sky.

Qiao Song looked up with almost no expression, and then he saw the evil dragon in the previous background introduction who was coming to snatch the princess.

It seemed to be a forced plot stage now, and she couldn't get the toolbox out, otherwise it wouldn't be difficult to chop off both dragon claws.

Who knew that after the big black dragon roared, it suddenly sneezed, and a cluster of flames flew out, directly burning the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the garden.

The maids screamed even louder.

The little dragon felt a little guilty for some reason. He looked around stealthily and finally found the expressionless princess. Then, as if completing his mission, he rolled up the princess with his tail and threw her onto his back.

Qiao Song just watched the black dragon take him to a cave.

There was another reason why she did not struggle. According to legend, the dragon cave was full of gold coins, and Qiao Song just wanted to find out whether there were any coins of doom among these coins.

Who would have known that this dragon was actually a very poor guy. There was no mountain of gold and silver in his cave, only a pile of weeds that looked like a doghouse.

Fortunately, the dragon snatched the princess away. I don’t know if it was some traditional custom, but there was actually a small corner in the cave where humans lived, with a bed, a simple table and daily necessities.

The little dragon lifted Qiao Song off its back and soon ignored her. It lay at the entrance of the cave with its tail raised, looking furtively at the sky in the distance, expecting something.

She looks more like a princess waiting to be rescued than Qiao Song.

Soon after landing, Qiao Song felt that he had regained the ability to move freely.

The little black dragon, who was silently counting down the time to get off work, felt something cold pressing against his feet before he even saw the army in the distance.

The soft and pitiful princess from the neighboring country was pointing a 10-meter-long sword at him.

"Don't you have any gold coins in your cave?"

Qiao Song was very sure that he saw a look of shock in the dragon's eyes.

"I'm asking you, Gold Coin."

The black dragon shrank its back and stuck directly to the cave. It was so cowardly that it shook its head frantically.

Yes, this dragon is sleeping in the grass nest. Let alone gold coins, the most valuable thing in the cave is probably itself.

The black dragon couldn't believe that this player had already regarded it as the most valuable commodity, but its instinct told it to just complete its daily tasks and not do anything unnecessary.

Qiao Song shook the knife in his hand, returning it to its original shape.

After her soul power increased, the ability of each tool in the toolbox changed slightly. The screws could be positioned, and her basic tools such as knives and axes were sharper than before and their sizes could be changed freely.

I originally thought that this function was pretty useless, but who knew I would encounter such a large dragon in the dungeon.

The black dragon swallowed his saliva, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and pointed outside the cave with his claws.

Qiao Song used a knife to cut the wide and inconvenient skirt, and finally was able to walk conveniently. Then he looked out of the cave and saw a huge army coming towards him.

The plot is developing very fast. Are they here to defeat the black dragon?

The one at the front of the team was a prince riding a white horse, wearing a blue knight's uniform under his armor.

Qiao Song looked behind the team for a while, but didn't see the guy in red clothes.

Let her think about it, in a country, twin princes grow up at the same time, red and blue, choose one to save the princess, whoever successfully kills the black dragon will be the next king.

She hasn't found the gold coins yet, so the plot can't move too fast.

"You dragons must be very good at finding gold coins. Take me to find the gold coins, or I will chop you into eight pieces before the prince comes and snatches me away."

The Black Dragon NPC probably had never seen such a reckless player. In the moment of hesitation, he saw the big knife grow longer again and was against his neck, as if killing a dragon was no different from killing a fish.

God knows this player is only as small as its toes!

"I can still fly down even if you don't help me, but I don't want to trouble other friends. I'll count down to 5, 5, 4, 3..."

Before the countdown ended, Qiao Song was carefully rolled up by the iron-boned black dragon's tail and placed on its back.

This time it was much gentler. When the little black dragon flew out of the cave, it even used its black wings to cover her head in a servile manner.

It wasn't completely blocking the sun, but I saw a lot of arrows flying up from below. Ding Ding Dong Dong was blocked by the wings.

"It took the princess away!"

"Kill the black dragon and rescue the princess!"

"Kill the black dragon! Rescue the princess!"

The knights were roaring, but those arrows could not cause any harm to the black dragon. The little dragon snorted in disdain.

But when it saw the prince holding the sword high in his hand, it immediately tucked its buttocks and flew towards the sea at an accelerated speed.

Qiao Song sat steadily on the dragon's back and soon saw another red flag team far behind the blue team.

After discovering that the black dragon had run away, the NPC was stunned and quickly chased over here.

The black dragon hesitated for a moment, and seemed to want to go back to the cave entrance to start the plot again. Qiao Song directly stabbed its neck and said, "Wherever the dragon is, the plot is there. They will follow you anyway, so what are you afraid of? Go find a place with gold coins, or I will chop you up right now."

Dragon: QQ

How could she do this!

But the body moved honestly.

The degree of freedom in this game world seems to be quite high. After flying for a while, Qiao Song discovered the territories of more than one country, as well as a variety of distinctive natural environments and villages.

She shrunk the knife in her hand and frowned as she looked at the scenery below: "Keep flying. Don't be afraid of being far away from the cave. The plot follows the characters."

She said she wanted to find gold coins. After the Black Dragon flew for a while and found that there was really no punishment, it didn't take her around in circles and went straight to the beach.

The deeper you fly, the more choppy the sea becomes.

Gradually the sky darkened. Not to mention the gold coins, even the entire sea level turned dark, as if brewing a storm.

The waves roared, and as they gradually moved away from the shore, Qiao Song saw countless small boats floating on the sea in the distance.

There should be no fishermen in such an environment, and it is impossible for fishermen to exist.

Qiao Song soon knew what it was. A flash of exaggerated special effects appeared, and it seemed that the people on the fishing boat had just caught new prey with their fishing rods.

After flying over a critical position, Qiao Song suddenly heard a prompt:

[Ding, you have come to the fishing master game area]

【Welcome to the Angry Ocean! The big fish here have a picky taste and will always devour passing fishermen and unlucky passengers who fall into the water from the boat, but they love the nobles with tender skin and meat and foreigners with special tastes the most, so there are always countless treasures in their stomachs.

[Kill them, and you will not only get fish, but also the nobles' gold, silver, and jewelry, and even some more special and valuable things, all in the fish's stomach.]

[Task: Catch a full boat of fish to complete the game, and the boat will automatically return when it is full]

The special thing in the fish's belly is a gold coin? Otherwise, why did Black Dragon bring her here?

When Qiao Song heard the system prompt sound in his ear, he immediately realized that he had guessed correctly. Sure enough, after looking down for a while, he saw a familiar figure.

The drifting boats were far apart from each other. Although they were shaking violently, most of the players on them were not easily affected and they sat still.

Aunt Huo was on a small boat at the edge of the sea, silently fishing with a fishing rod in hand. Her boat was exceptionally docile, and no matter how windy and rainy the sea was, the surroundings of her boat were as peaceful as a yard in the afternoon.

On the contrary, it is noisy on the boat.

There were kittens everywhere. It seemed that most of them had come out this time. They were standing, lying, or clinging to the mast, and meowing non-stop, as if they were telling Aunt Huo which direction the fish would be.

Aunt Huo patiently comforted them: "The fishing rod has just been refreshed. I will help you catch more weapons later. Don't worry, don't worry."

At this moment, a little orange cat beside Aunt Huo's legs twitched its ears, curled its tail, and then raised its head.

Meow~

Hearing the little orange cat's peculiar cry, Aunt Huo, who was concentrating on fishing, also looked up at the sky and soon saw a hovering black shadow.

"Huh? Why is there a dragon here..."

Aunt Huo murmured something in a low voice, and soon she saw something floating down from the sky.

Qiao Song patted the dragon's tail and jumped directly off the dragon.

A huge paper boat floated lightly to the ground, and under the astonished gaze of the Black Dragon, Qiao Song landed on the paper boat.

Not only did it not poke a hole in the paper boat, it even bounced slightly upwards after landing.

This paper boat is as flexible as a piece of leather.

It's ok, the quality holds up.

The paper used in Zhazhi Town is indeed made of special materials. In addition to the special lake water, it is not afraid of water or fire. The only drawback is that it is hard to buy.

"Qiao Qiao, how could you...?"

Aunt Huo frowned slightly, as if she had guessed something: "Are the maps of your luck game and fishing game interchangeable?"

Qiao Song nodded: "They should be interconnected. The game map is much larger than I thought. I suspect that more than one or two machines are interconnected.

This abnormal way of entering the game will get you reminders of the game background, but it will not provide basic equipment, such as boats and fishing rods.

It’s okay, she brought it herself.

But the black dragon that brought her here turned around a few times and howled a few times with a bit of grievance.

The prince's mission is to kill the dragon, and the dragon's mission is to capture the princess.

In the past, I could go home after working for an hour or two, but now I can’t, so forget it, at least I have a place to stay.

The Black Dragon knew very well that with the size of the small paper boat, if it went on board and the boat sank, it would really be turned into chopped pepper dragon claws!

Qiao Song declined Aunt Huo's offer to send a kitten to help, and quickly took out one of his commonly used tools.

Net bag.

"It's a bit unreasonable if I can't catch fish after catching ghosts and filling the lake with water."

Qiao Song tied some screws and hammers to the net bag to increase the sinking weight. Then he recalled the posture of fishermen casting nets that he had seen, adjusted it a little, and cast the first net in an orderly manner.

Considering his luck, Qiao Song prepared ten nets at once. Who knew that he caught something with the first one.

This fish is quite strong.

Qiao Song could still hold on if she pulled one or two, but this time she cast too many nets. The dragon in the sky happened to be roaring non-stop, so Qiao Song's eyes lit up and she directly took down a new net, strung all the ropes together, and made a circle.

"Xiao Hei, come down!"

Black Dragon:?

Who am I calling Xiao Hei? I am the great and lovely Black Dragon who just wants to get off work!

The black dragon didn't want the tip of its tail to be braised, so it flew down anyway and soon became the fierce princess's fishing machine.

After Black Dragon helped to hold the net, Qiao Song quickly realized that he was not lucky.

What was caught in the big nets were not fish at all, but strange creatures with fangs and claws.

If you look closely, it even looks like a monster made up of household garbage.

Balls of thread, plastic, old clothes, iron wire...

Qiao Song even saw a can puppy with its mouth open biting its net bag.

Okay, okay, others are returning with big fish with gold in their bellies, but what you catch is marine garbage, right?

Qiao Song directly prepared a batch of new white nets and took out a larger paper boat to prevent the black dragon from flapping its wings and looking at him aggrievedly.

"Continue to help me pull the net later."

After a pause, as if sensing the resentful look in the Black Dragon's eyes, Qiao Song added: "I'll open a few cans for you to satisfy your craving. Don't worry, the dungeon game over there will continue."

Which dragon would eat canned food?

Xiao Hei looked at the cans that Qiao Song took out from the toolbox and shook around. He swallowed his saliva unwillingly, lowered his head and waited for Qiao Song to put on the rope.

At this time, the two princes who arrived at the seaside one after another found that the target of the mission seemed to have escaped.

But no one can leave work until the work is completed.

The red and blue sides looked at each other, then became angry, took off their armor and swam into the sea.

The author has something to say:

Qiao Song/Cat/Black Dragon: Fishing, fishing, completely crazy!

The NPC prince who had to swim over to continue the story mission: What a sin!
