Chapter 158 Super Jolio

After the roads merged, the system prompt sounded, making the players who were developing the glove function a little more alert.

At some point, the drizzling rain soon turned into a fine drizzle.

Before they even had a chance to fight other players, they were hit by a new surprise.

On the spacious green grass, countless small mushrooms and flowers began to appear in layers.

Although it had only been a brief rain, the moisture in the air was still there, and the mushrooms on the grass were absorbing the last of the nutrients from the lawn and were swelling rapidly.

This gave the players who had been wearing hats and banging their heads against the ceiling stupidly, suddenly new ideas.

Not everyone can use their skills to change the way their hat is used like Qiao Song or the delivery man. Most people can only choose between attacking monsters and picking mushrooms. But now the number of mushrooms has increased significantly and the number of monsters has decreased.

They wanted to pick mushrooms on the grass while wearing gloves.

But the increase in the number of mushrooms and the decrease in the number of monsters cannot cover up the fact that there are more competitors.

The mushrooms all over the mountains matured in a certain order, and soon people started fighting over a newly grown mushroom.

"I saw it first, who told you to touch it!"

A middle-aged man wearing red gloves and holding a handful of plastic bags pounced directly on the big mushroom with red spots and white spots in front of him.

And the person he scolded harshly was obviously not someone easy to deal with.

This man looked like an old man, but he was full of energy and spirit. He was holding an empty hand-woven bamboo cage in his hand. He sneered when he heard this:

"Hey, you big, strong, rough guy, do you think I'm an old man that's easy to bully?"

The old man took the bamboo basket behind him and threw it towards where the mushrooms were. Then the newly ripe mushroom appeared directly in the basket.

[Town and village chicken farm owner·Specialized chicken cage]

[The chickens raised in the mountains are very wild. It is not easy to catch them, so we need some special cages.

What? Go buy a big iron cage? That's so expensive.

I can cut some bamboo on the mountainside and weave a cage easily! 】

The plain-looking bamboo cage can trap the target in the cage the moment it touches the mushrooms. No matter how the middle-aged man holding the plastic bag tears the cage, it does not move at all.

"You old man, just wait!"

The man glared at the old man, threatened him, and left without wasting time trying to grab the mushrooms in the cage.

Each player's skills have their own characteristics, so it is not cost-effective to stay in place and grab things at this time.

After all, the road behind them is still collapsing.

The same competition took place between countless players, and when it was loud enough, you could even hear the crackling sound of firecrackers.

Mushrooms don't mature instantly, but there is a time lag, so those who fall behind can still get some of the rewards that the players ahead missed.

Some people went to grab the mushrooms that were ignored because they fell behind them, but because of their greed, they did not notice the collapsed road behind them, and soon they screamed and fell off the cliff.

Now someone finally discovered that not only did the mushrooms grow faster, but the cliff also collapsed faster.

"Fuck you, what are you fighting for? Why are you all crowding in the middle? Run to the front and don't block my way!"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the road behind has collapsed, you idiots should stop just picking mushrooms!"

"Beep beep - make way, make way. I won't be responsible if my electric bike hits someone in the game!"

Some people ran forward, some stopped to pick mushrooms and blocked the road, and some rode their electric bikes at full speed, just trying to find a safe place.

The scene was extremely chaotic.

Qiao Song realized early on that as the game time went on, the soul-chasing landslide in the future would definitely not be as gentle as before.

Since all the players are placed in a map, it is definitely not enough to just use mushrooms to lure everyone into fighting.

Although he had guessed the next progress according to the ideas of the game organizer in advance, Qiao Song did not expect that the mushrooms would become more and more weird the more he picked them.

She was actually in the first echelon at that moment. Because of her intuition, she immediately recovered the three-piece set. Relying on her previous proficiency, she quickly collected the first mushroom growing from the ground.

The color looks a bit weird, it's actually dark blue with irregular white spots floating on it, which makes people lose their appetite.

Fortunately, the mushrooms were props. If they were really used as food, she had no doubt that eating them would lead to seeing dancing figures.

Everyone was so happy about the gift after the rain that no one cared what the mushrooms looked like; they were just props anyway.

Compared to other people's enthusiasm for mushrooms, Qiao Song felt a bit weird in observing this relationship.

There are so many different mushroom varieties, and the colors are becoming more and more vivid, and as a result, the number of monsters on the road has decreased.

These monsters were clearly fighting over the mushrooms that she had knocked off the top of the bricks and rocks.

The monsters turned a blind eye to these things growing on the ground.

Coupled with the system prompt, Qiao Song had reason to suspect that this mushroom was different from the previous ones.

After collecting another big mushroom, a flash of light appeared on Qiao Song's gloves, and the mushroom he had just collected turned into a small medal on his overalls.

Qiao Song already had ten different kinds of mushroom badges on his body, and only five of them were knocked out of the bricks and stones with his hat during the previous single-player race.

At this point, she realized that there was something wrong with the gloves.

It seems thinner.

When he tentatively tried to pick up a new mushroom, Qiao Song found that the outer layer of his gloves had become sticky, and a large amount of long and thin mucus, like mycelium, was pulled out from the mushroom he had just caught.

It was as if her gloves were gradually worn out as she picked mushrooms more and more times.

This is not a good sign.

At this time, she felt that a player had caught up with her.

A young security guard holding a baton, wearing a very familiar security uniform and a three-piece suit on the outside, was chasing her ferociously.

"Yes, it's you! Did you trick me and my elder brother in the previous episode of Fishing Master?!"

Qiao Song really didn't expect that there would be someone in the world who is so stubborn. The game is in such chaos now, and you don't steal mushrooms but come to mess with me?

She hit the other person with a hammer, aiming for his face, but the guy blocked it with his baton.

The young security guard took out his intercom and said, "Brother, brother, I found her. Although her face looks different, my community property management system tells me that there is a 50% chance that this person is the guy I met in the fishing game before!"

The intercom buzzed twice, but his brother didn't answer him.

However, Qiao Song stared at the walkie-talkie and baton in the security guard's hands. The designs looked familiar, except that there was a mouth on the baton that could speak.

"Where did you get this baton?"

The young security guard looked alert: "This is a derivative of my skill, don't try to get close to me!"

Qiao Song let out a click of his tongue and gave another blow to the guy who refused to accept the toast.

Although batons are easy to use, it also depends on the skills and abilities of the person using them.

The young security guard, who was holding a baton in one hand and a walkie-talkie to call for help in the other, was obviously no match for Qiao Song, who was holding a hammer in both hands and could also pay attention to the road conditions.

He was not paying attention for a moment and was hit on his right hand, and the baton in his hand flew away instantly.

The young security guard reacted quickly and called for a new baton, but the glove that flew out of his right hand was immediately picked up by Qiao Song who had already planned it.

Right in front of him, Qiao Song slowly put on the new gloves over his old gloves.

"Thank you for your equipment. I was just worried that it wouldn't be enough."

"You, you are going too far!"

Realizing he couldn't beat the other party, the young security guard quickly pressed the intercom again: "Brother, where is your person? Come quickly, I can't stop her by myself!"

However, he did not wait for a reply from his elder brother, but a large area of ​​colorful objects suddenly appeared on the road ahead.

"What the hell is this..."

The densely packed red and blue objects, which have a strong visual impact, are like hallucinogenic smoke, surging and growing, bulging and crowded together.

Everyone who saw them paused for a moment, as if they were under some kind of mental attack from a distance.

Qiao Song, who had been running, also slowed down a little.

There was a quick buzzing sound in her head; it was the sound coming from the shrine.

"Poisonous mushrooms?"

Qiao Song came back to his senses instantly and immediately moved a few meters to the side, almost sticking to the edge of the cliff, and finally avoided the large object that was blocking the center of the road.

Others were not as lucky as her.

The moment people saw these mushrooms, their thinking was shocked. Many people were stunned and did not dodge at all, and directly crashed into the fog-like mushrooms.

Soon, someone discovered that the mushroom was not a physical entity, but was really like a cloud, melting into the air in wisps.

Everyone wakes up at different times. The delivery man riding an electric bike and wearing a yellow cat-ear helmet was the first to rush out behind Qiao Song.

He exhaled twice and instantly pulled off the cycling scarf he wore under his helmet as a mask.

There was already a thin spider-web-like layer of mycelium on the face towel.

"What the hell is this?"

[Delivery boy's protective suit, helmet, mask and scarf, plus accident insurance]

This professional suit can help him avoid some subtle external attacks. Just now in the mushroom cloud, he felt that he was encountering a special kind of pervasive pollution.

I was riding the electric bike safely and didn't hit anyone or anything, but the accident insurance almost triggered.

After the delivery guy rode out, he saw the security guard chasing people crookedly in the rearview mirror, and the back of the big man in front of him who was different from everyone else.

The opponent seemed particularly sober, and even took out an old glove from his body to replace it with a new one, put it on the hammer, and continued to attack the monsters outside from a distance.

Oh no, this guy is attacking mushrooms?

The delivery guy who was planning to copy the homework was suddenly confused. Soon, other players appeared behind him, rushing out from the mushroom cloud one by one. The one running side by side with him was actually an old man.

"Fuck, ostrich?"

The delivery guy looked in amazement at the old man in his 60s riding a giant ostrich who surpassed his small electric bike in minutes.

The uncle who ran the chicken farm didn't seem to be very clear-headed at this time. He was struggling to put on his reading glasses with a rope around his neck, muttering to himself.

"I'm so scared, I'm lucky I also raised a few ostriches when I was raising chickens, otherwise I wouldn't be able to run anymore."

[Chicken coop of a professional chicken farm owner]

[Directional summoning of objects in the chicken farm. The summoned living creatures cannot be used as food or sacrifice, but can have the same functions as props]

That is to say, even if the uncle summons chickens from the chicken farm, he cannot eat them, but he can summon chickens to fight. Of course, at this time, ostriches are more useful, at least they are fast.

The young man outside immediately noticed a row of mushroom brooches on the old man's gray and old clothes. This was more than most of the young men in the arena.

That’s awesome! Your uncle is still your uncle.

However, the one riding a bicycle and the one riding an ostrich were unable to catch up with Qiao Song quickly.

This is strange, is the boss’s profession a track and field athlete or something like that?

The delivery guy couldn’t help but think.

In fact, next to them, there is another leisurely figure that most players cannot detect.

Aunt Huo is riding on the back of a forest cat. The eyes of the enlarged cat look extremely fierce. If it were a different color, it would be almost the same as a Northeastern golden tabby.

A little white cat was also lying on Aunt Huo's shoulder.

[Hide and seek skills, if you don't look carefully, you won't be able to see me. 】

Aunt Huo is not as conspicuous as Qiao Song. She chooses to hide in the crowd. She does not have many means of attack. Generally, on a stage with a large number of players competing, Aunt Huo will choose to observe behind the scenes.

"If your nose is uncomfortable, just tell me in advance. I'm not old enough to force you to carry me around."

Aunt Huo could smell the scent of grass after the rain and the special smell of mushroom spores in the air.

Too many mushrooms are not a good thing either.

The two kittens immediately meowed obediently and rejected Aunt Huo's statement in a serious manner.

Just carry it! My cat has grown bigger, so it’s not tiring!

The Siberian Forest Cat looks majestic, but its meow is louder than that of the little white cat.

The delivery guy not far away suddenly turned his head and glanced at the crowded crowd.

It’s strange, why did I seem to hear a cat’s meow just now?

More and more people came out of the mushroom cloud. After a brief period of confusion, everyone finally realized that there was something more serious in front of them than competing to pick mushrooms.

"MD, what the hell was that just now?"

A man with a scar on his face rushed out from the cloud like a brown bear. His current position was a little backward, not only because he was just bewitched by the colorful mushroom cloud, but also because the skill of locking onto a certain player's address book had brought him a certain backlash.

The scarred man tapped the intercom in his hand.

The machine in my hand was buzzing, as if some sound was coming out, but also as if nothing was happening.

He cursed under his breath a few more times, then took a step forward. He was still very confident in his physical strength.

[Civile debt collection also requires good health. Even if you don’t fight, you have to learn silent intimidation.]

An invisible deterrent emanated from him, and under the effect of the skill, he felt as if his mind had become clearer, but he himself did not realize how terrifying he looked.

There is a huge scar on his left eyebrow, which was left by a previous fight, but at the same time, his body surface is now covered with dense and strange mycelium.

It can also be called mold.

The address book that was previously obtained has disappeared because the skill was released.

But some strange red and blue mold mixed with hyphae had appeared on the skin of his neck.

He himself can't see it, but the players next to him can.

The tall and strong fitness coach was trying to escape with his childhood friend, and subconsciously stayed away from the scarred man.

"I told you 800 years ago, come to my gym and train more. Even my sister-in-law and my wife are here now. They are much stronger than you in terms of physical strength."

The pyrotechnician, who had been exhausted, was finally able to regain some strength after being stimulated by this.

"You're right. I still have to go back to see Xiaoru. I can't die here."

Not only were they childhood friends, but their wives also grew up together. However, they were the only two who came to this ghost game, yet they were glad that they and their wives did not come in to suffer with them.

The fitness coach knew that the firework master's main skills were long-range magic attacks and that he was very fragile. After discovering that the players had gathered together, he immediately found his friend.

As a result, he pulled everyone together and rushed into the mushroom cloud.

"Hey, why don't you set off some firecrackers? I think my ears are starting to ring again."

The fitness coach has good physical strength, but his mental resistance seems to be relatively low. He saw a group of the same colorful mushroom array from a distance, and realized that he was going to encounter it again, and he suddenly panicked.

The pyrotechnician, who was running out of breath, immediately took out a big red disc from his arms.

"No, my head is still spinning and I can't get the fireworks out of the barrel. Use this first."

The experienced fitness coach took apart the disc firecracker, quickly lit the fuse, grabbed the firecracker, which had become a long strip, in one hand, and continued running forward while pulling the fireworks.

The crackling sound of the explosions suddenly sobered up many of the confused players along the way.

Those who fell at the end soon realized that strange traces of mycelium had appeared on the faces of their fellow humans.

Especially a guy with a face full of scars, some people could even see some small mushrooms growing on his hair.

"We can't go on like this, this mushroom is poisonous..."

But not everyone is so prepared for danger.

Qiao Song snatched the gloves from the young security guard simply because the other party was too mean and hit her in the face. This also made her anticipate that the gloves would definitely become a strategic resource in the future.

And some people who are naturally predatory have discovered the same thing.

Especially the large group of mushroom pickers running in the middle.

After Qiao Song took apart the three-piece suit to attack monsters from a distance, many players followed suit.

But they did not recycle the three sets in time.

Since I can't pick mushrooms as fast as you, I'll just destroy your mushroom picking gloves.

Starting from the same starting line, as long as others are lagging behind, I will be ahead - this kind of thinking will make people quickly get the second pair of gloves and the second hat.

After the gear was missing, some gaps in the player base were widening.

Qiao Song took the time to look back and found that the players with stronger mental resistance were those who were still wearing three-piece suits, plus some extra protection from their own skills.

For example, security uniforms, delivery uniforms...

After looking back several times, Qiao Song vaguely noticed the delivery boy's electric bike, and occasionally a fluffy cat tail was swinging out from the side.

Aunt Huo’s ability to hide her figure is really amazing.

Qiao Song knew that Aunt Huo had a big cat that could carry people, so he was not too worried about her.

Qiao Song just wanted to count the players who were eliminated later.

The number was greater than she had imagined, and at the same time everyone's faces came into her sight.

Full of fear, greed and malice.

Some of these people have already started to grow fungus hyphae on their faces.

The young security guard who had been following Qiao Song was less vulnerable to erosion than the players behind him, perhaps because of his security suit, but the hand that lost its right glove suffered significantly greater damage.

It seems that it is just as she guessed, there is something seriously wrong with this mushroom.

A complete plumber's red three-piece suit can more or less resist mycelium contamination when worn on the body.

Even Qiao Song himself could sense the mental attacks brought by these mushrooms, but he might not be able to avoid them completely.

Seeing another large cloud of mushrooms appear in front of her, her first reaction this time was to look at the ground. Sure enough, she saw densely packed fluorescent mushrooms that were spread out like a blanket.

The entire map is almost becoming a petri dish for mushrooms.

Qiao Song had previously been sticking to the edge of the cliff and barely avoided the mushroom cloud, and with the help of the shrine's awakening effect, the mushrooms grew stronger and stronger on the rest of the journey, so he was afraid he would have to think of other ways.

By the way, it seems that the three-piece hat has not been used for a long time.

Qiao Song looked up at the sky and found that the bricks containing the mushrooms seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the ground.

Before, everyone was busy grabbing the new mushrooms growing on the grassland, and soon ignored the old mushrooms above their heads that still needed bricks to fall down.

Maybe the way out lies here.

Qiao Song got ready and jumped directly into the sky before the next group of mushrooms came.

Someone had used this method to hide once before, but he jumped down again soon. After all, there were very few prop rewards hidden in the bricks in the sky, but there were still some on the ground.

Qiao Song was not so greedy. Without hesitation, he stepped up the stairs and jumped onto the map in the sky.

From the perspective of the players behind her, it seemed that she was planning to completely give up on the ground harvest.

The road above is much narrower than the one below. It is a long strip made up of cubes with a side length of one meter.

Although all the roads were merged after the players gathered together, most of the bricks in the sky were just staggered up and down and did not merge into a wider road.

The higher Qiao Song jumped, the more certain he became that he was on the right track.

There are more monsters appearing on the bricks, and the number of mosses and tiny mushrooms in the gaps between the bricks and stones has decreased, almost to the same level as the previous ground level.

Behind her, a small number of other players who saw her go straight into the sky also reacted and immediately chose to copy her.

But some people are reluctant to part with the props scattered on the ground.

They were almost like crazy, shouting, "Pick a few more and I'll leave, pick a few more and I'll leave..."

Little did he know that the red gloves on his hands were becoming thinner and thinner, and even threads could be pulled out when he picked up the mushrooms.

Not only did these people have skin problems, they also started to speak incoherently, and they looked like walking mushroom people.

When the delivery guy saw this group of crazy players in the rearview mirror, he almost trembled all over. He pulled back the car without hesitation and jumped onto the square steps with the momentum of climbing more than ten floors in one breath to deliver the food.

There seemed to be cat hair floating in the air, and the strange calls of ostriches.

The main players who were still awake all chose to go to heaven.
