Chapter 194 Zootopia

"Hiss, Qiao Qiao, why do you still have this habit of picking up things everywhere? Where did this spider come from?"

Qiao Song was taking out various things, including item cards and some small scraps picked up from the dungeon.

"I found it in the dungeon."

Bai You was not afraid of spiders. The thing Qiao Song was holding was quite cute. It looked like a kitten, curled up on the ground and shivering.

"Boss, am I supposed to manage such a big place by myself?"

Qiao Song continued to look through the inventory: "Have your two brothers recovered?"

As she spoke, she had already turned out the two spiders that had been struck by lightning.

The two guys looked motionless, but Qiao Song gently pinched their legs. As the owner of the shrine, he instantly felt the other party's condition.

"You've consumed so much of my incense, and you still have the nerve to pretend to be dead?"

The big head and thin legs could no longer fit, so the limp spider legs moved.

"Boss, we have just recovered, stop asking quick questions." The memory of being struck by lightning was still vivid in his mind.

"I just asked you to come out and do your old job. Spider-Man should have told you that I occupied a game area before, right?"

The spiders looked at each other, and then the big-headed spider retracted its feet and looked at the surrounding environment.

The Tarot tablets are still standing, but the patterns on them have disappeared. The tablets are gathered together in groups, which is not only eerie, but also a natural maze environment.

"This place is indeed quite suitable for us to display our abilities, but we were injured before. Even if we recreate a haunted house-like environment in the maze, it may not have a very good effect."

Qiao Song and Bai You waved to each other, and the latter understood and put a stack of tarot cards in her hands.

"Can't you create the illusion that other people fear the most based on their memories? Try to cooperate with her and use metaphysical methods to defeat those players who come in. You don't need to spend a lot of effort to pull them into the illusion like before. Just use some tricks and pretend to be ghosts and that will be enough."

The three spiders exclaimed in unison; they hadn't expected there was such a way to play.

Bai You smiled, as if he thought this was a genius idea: "I told you, the Tarot Reader skill is really not suitable for those sports players. The good Tarot has become a battle royale in a secret room. If this kind of hallucinogenic ability is added, those players will be scared to death."

Any metaphysics has no lethality in front of absolute science, but once you use the ability to play tricks, combined with tarot cards to guide everyone who enters the maze, believe in the authenticity of these tarot cards...

Not everyone is like Qiao Song, who knows that nothing will happen if he doesn't listen, look or think.

Once you believe a little bit, you fall into a trap.

"Then I will stay here and work with them. It would be inappropriate for me to go back as a traitor."

Bai You took off his hood, revealing two fluffy, white, triangular Pomeranian ears.

"Little Spiders, come to work with me~"

Seeing that she was still dressed as a witch, Qiao Song remembered the name of the S-level blind box set that flashed by when she left the blind box mall. She guessed that Bai You's COSER skills should have been integrated with those of a witch.

Anyone who has ever obtained an S-level skill set in the mall can see the name of the skill set when leaving the mall.

Qiao Song thought of the professional skills that Gao Chengcheng had acquired in the mall, which was [Pet Doctor], which was completely incompatible with an ice cream truck.

Bai You paused when he saw Qiao Song asking about Gao Chengcheng. "Her, our innocent and romantic Chengcheng, her second skill is indeed pet doctor. She's quite suitable for Zootopia, right? Her brother was saved by this skill. If I'm not mistaken, she seemed to be taken away by Maotu later."

Qiao Song remembered that Gao Bin had said the same thing in the note he had secretly given her before.

But she also felt a little strange. Bai You didn't seem to like Gao Chengcheng very much, but they were able to cooperate with each other in the strange and dangerous Zootopia and indirectly help each other.

Otherwise, the place where Lion and Bai You first settled down would not have been Dog Brother’s territory.

"Tsk, that's a long story. That guy looks so enthusiastic and cheerful, but in fact, he only cares about her and her brother. Back then, for a boat ticket, she completely cut off contact with our guild."

Bai You sneered: "Our president once saved her brother's life. What ungrateful bastards!"

Qiao Song frowned: "Gao Chengcheng also got on that boat and tried to cross the river?"

This time it was Bai You's turn to be surprised: "When did you even know this?"

Bai You's expression gradually became serious, and he looked at Qiao Song as if he was looking at a monster.

"This kind of news is not something that ordinary NPCs can reveal on their own initiative. Did a player tell you? That's not right. There should be very few people who know about this kind of past..."

Qiao Song: "Is it not okay for me to have more friends?"

Bai You thought about her hardcore way of making friends, which was really great.

She paused and said, "Since you know about the River of Life and Death and the boat, it's okay to tell you. The raw materials used to cross the river were basically collected by the top players. There were not many tickets available, and several guilds had a share."

She smiled self-deprecatingly: "Our guild has three tickets, and Gao Chengcheng and her brother take up two spots."

"There were only a few players on the ship at that time, and those who survived in the end were all those who are still active on the Infinite Highway. But the result is obvious, the crossing ended in failure. Later, after those players who almost sank the ship came back, unexpectedly, some of them inexplicably became dungeon managers and established the 12 Committees, and then the so-called escape door appeared."

Bai You spread his hands mockingly: "So now the popular saying is to open the door and go home, but who knows, maybe this method is wrong too."

Qiao Song didn't know why, but he had a strange intuition: "Not necessarily, maybe both methods are correct."

Bai You:?

The three spiders were already busy planning the routes in the maze. They had obviously accepted their new jobs and were preparing to build a tarot-themed haunted house this time.

Bai You simply decided to stay and lend a hand, and happily became a traitor.

"I have drawn the map for you. You can take the tablet as well. I bought it from the Rat's Specialty Store. I have also left the map notes for you. If I stand next to you, everyone will know that I have betrayed you."

"Although I don't know why your map is white, you'd better keep it secret for a while."

Qiao Song was already breaking open the shrine to take out the fragments. Countless little paper figures jumped out and began to change their shapes.

All the creatures that were chasing Qiao Song in the maze before Bai You borrowed the derivative skills of Tarot cards and the players under their command.

"What are you going to do with those people? Now this part of the shrine belongs to you. You can drive them out or keep them."

Unlike Guo Binfen's group before, when the president ran away with his own members, Bai You was obviously not so kind. These burdens were left to her by the Lion, and she had long wanted to slack off.

"Little Spider, go lock those people up, extract specific scenes from their fears, and let them serve as nutrients for your imagination."

The three spiders said they understood and immediately started to expand the venue.

Qiao Song also left behind a lot of paper figures. After she had two small maps, she felt that her paper-making speed had become faster.

The progress bar on the toolbox also moved forward a little.

I don’t know if it’s because he amassed hundreds of thousands of dollars or for some other reason.

Qiao Song did the math and found that after adding the material costs, he didn't make a penny from making these two maps and even lost a lot of money.

If this is the result every time she conquers a map, won't she keep losing money?

Qiao Song had a heart attack just thinking about it.

She glanced again at the little witch who had told fortunes for her before, and she shuddered as if she had eyes on her back. She turned back to look at her, and waved and smiled fakely.

"In the Zodiac Contest, when a low-ranking player challenges a high-ranking player, you cannot surrender directly. I can surrender to you, but Gao Bin certainly cannot. When you fight, remember to show mercy."

Although he said this, he looked quite gloating.

Qiao Song said goodbye to Bai You, took the newly equipped tablet and continued to go deeper into the territory of Xu Dog.

With the map of Bai You, the traitor, Qiao Song was able to quickly perceive the internal deployment of Xu Gou this time. Most of the guild's abilities are related to physical strength, and there are quite a lot of professions related to sports.

She searched for a long time, but where could the real dog be...

Bai You had indeed written a lot of notes on the tablet, and Qiao Song directly clicked on the largest banner:

[Don't aim too high. The Zodiac War will have to lose at least half of the territory before the remaining administrators will take the initiative to expand the game to other areas.]

Qiao Song was very surprised to find that when she had only invaded two guild games, Xu Gou's game was lost faster than she thought.

An unexpected color is infecting this place.

That is the golden color that belongs to Chenlong.

According to common sense, shouldn't the dragon take action when there are only three or four people left? Why did it come so early?

Qiao Song looked at the map and saw that the tiger and the dog were next to each other. Since Chen Long had already attacked the dog, it meant that he had also attacked the tiger.

She pulled the map and saw that it was true. Two long and narrow toothpick-like maps directly pierced into the two areas.

If the gaming areas are supported by guilds making their own games, then what kind of guilds are so desperate and crazy?

Who will be the players under Chenlong?

Qiao Song put down the tablet, picked a game that he thought was not too difficult and started playing.

Sometimes, she felt that the small games created by the guild members who owned the shrine were similar to the dungeons on the Infinite Highway.

Could it be that this is how some copy games came about?

This also explains why NPCs who don't want to be completely destroyed will leave Zootopia, and the zodiac signs change once a year...

The more Qiao Song thought about it, the more he felt that Zootopia was just like a mold that was actively passing the zodiac selection and constantly radiating various game copies onto the infinite highway.

Soon, she walked out of the forest of stone tablets, and in front of her was another area game she had just chosen.

This area is very large and is close to the center of the Xugou City map.

Qiao Song felt that this was a critical location and she might run into Gao Bin. This was not her intuition but a feeling.

How to say it, she felt like a bug that had invaded someone else's area. Now she could even judge which place would smell better based on the smell in the air.

Her shrine was devouring other people's shrines like food.

Sure enough, the air was filled with the sweet aroma of milk tea mixed with the taste of lemon.

[Ding Ding Ding——Welcome to the Macho Lemon Club. Would you like a cup of lemon tea? 】

As soon as I entered the game area, I didn't see anyone, but I saw several scented lemons with hands and feet dancing.

These things were like zombies, densely packed, nearly two meters tall, approaching her one by one.

"Would you like a cup of hand-made lemon tea? We have black tea, green tea, and duck shit tea~"

"If you don't like lemon tea, there are also handmade bubble milk tea and handmade rice cakes~"

As the lemons got closer and closer, Qiao Song could already smell the rich lemon scent in the air, and even felt some of the lemon peel essential oil splashed on his skin.

"You have 30 seconds left to make your choice—"

The lemon with two cartoon eyes came closer and closer. When it smiled, it seemed that the lemon monster was about to take something out from behind.

After observing the surroundings, Qiao Song found that it did look like the interior of a milk tea shop.

The stainless steel dining table was filled with various boxed fruits and prepared teas.

As a shop that mainly sells lemon tea, these lemons have become NPCs and are threatening her to place an order.

Qiao Song didn't wonder why she appeared in the kitchen. She looked down and saw that the ground was full of iron fences. If there was any accumulated water, it would flow directly to the ground.

And in the drink cups stuck to the wall, what was placed were not lemons, but people who had fainted. They all looked pale and thin, with skin and flesh sticking to their bones.

So that's how it is.

Lemons are not lemons, invaders like her are the raw materials.

Is this lemon tea so violent?

"Ding ding ding, the time is up. If you haven't made a choice, then default to the simplest option of hand-squeezed lemon with ice."

"Dear customers are already waiting, we need to serve the food as soon as possible~"

The strong lemons tightened their skin, and Qiao Song watched them take out metal baseball bats and even boxing gloves from behind.

Qiao Song: "Beat Lemon Tea... When you hear this name, don't you think you are more dangerous?"

She pulled the trigger on the chainsaw and attacked a lemon on the side.

[Ding——The use of large-scale lethal weapons and similar props is prohibited in the back kitchen of the beverage store. Please follow the operating principles of the beverage store~]

The electric saw in Qiao Song's hand immediately turned into a soft lemon leaf.

"Hahaha, you can't use brute force to clear a level~"

A slightly shorter and fatter yellow lemon picked up a hammer and smashed it on Qiao Song's head.

Qiao Song dodged instantly and leaned against the wall.

The world in front of her eyes changed little by little. All the equipment was getting taller, and every pot and pan in the kitchen became enormous.

The only things that remain unchanged are her and the lemons around her ready to bleed her.

"Hey, every instance has its own rules. Our beverage store is no exception. From the way you held the chainsaw, you must be a force player. If you can't use weapons, what are you?"

"How dare you, a Rooster player, come to the heart of the Dog and act so recklessly? Are you tired of living?!"

Hammer after hammer hit the direction where Qiao Song was, along with baseball bats and boxing gloves.

Qiao Song had a little difficulty in dodging because there were too many players acting as NPCs around her, but she was mainly observing the surrounding environment.

No game is one-sided and only targets players.

This game actually restricts the invaders from using weapons and props, and they can only play the role of lemons and be slaughtered at will. So there must be other ways to deal with these guys who look more like lemons than her.

It reminds me of the kitchen appliances that have suddenly become bigger, and the kitchen panels that are now getting farther and farther away.

The answer should be right above your head.

"Stop her quickly, this guy is trying to escape!"

"Tsk, how can you be so agile? Those lemons with dog tails went up to stop her, but you couldn't even catch a chicken, and you still dare to call yourself a player of the 戌狗?"

The lemons at the end of the team really had dog tails and dog ears, which looked weird. Perhaps their bodies had also suffered from some pollution in the area, but it could not be completely removed.

After dodging flexibly, Qiao Song decisively chose an area and moved forward quickly. The player she was staring at, for some reason, became dazed at the critical moment.

After being yelled at several times by the large group of perfumed lemons and yellow lemons behind him, this guy picked up the defensive item in his hand with trembling hands.

It was a rather familiar-looking baton.

Qiao Song raised his eyebrows, and while the other party was still hesitating, he grabbed a bag of candy as big as a sandbag next to him and threw it back.

The sky full of white sugar attacked Lemon, and those guys were squeezed in the narrow kitchen passage because there were too many people chasing them.

Led by Qiao Song, they all crashed into a corner.

Under the influence of white sugar, the lemons just accidentally touched each other a few times and immediately began to wail. It was obvious that after being pickled in white sugar, more lemon essential oil began to seep out of the skin.

"Just as I thought, you are the ones who should feel the danger in this kitchen."

Qiao Song kicked the yellow lemon lightly. When the other party's eyes met hers, perhaps out of instinct, he immediately knelt down.

Qiao Song stepped directly on his back and climbed up to the high kitchen operating panel.

Soon, the lemons from before also chased after her, and it was obvious that they would not let Qiao Song go until she was beaten into juice.

[The countdown to the last serving time of hand-beaten lemons is 10 minutes, the customer urging order mode is turned on, and everyone's energy is doubled! ]

"Brothers—go ahead!"

These lemons of various shapes have bulging muscles and have become stronger.

Qiao Song seemed to be running away in fear all the way, hiding among the desktop equipment, but only Wang Anning, who had just quietly served as a footstool for her, knew that this big man would never suffer any loss.

He quietly began to paddle, slack off, and silently fell behind the team.

This actually made him see clearly what Qiao Song was doing.

She was looking for something special to handle lemons.

Soon, she stopped in front of a set of props that were placed in a particularly remote place.

This was obviously hidden intentionally.

It cannot be placed anywhere other than the countertop, breaking the rules of the kitchen, nor can it be really hidden, as that would simply increase the difficulty of the game while forgetting about game balance.

The player’s only weapon of counterattack is the special lemon processing tool in the background.

If Qiao Song hadn't deliberately looked upwards while escaping, he wouldn't have been discovered.

"She could even discover this..."

Wang Anning's pupils gradually dilated, as if he had realized what was going to happen next...

In a beverage shop with strict hygiene management, any food should have corresponding knives and cutting boards, as well as loading containers.

Just let Lemon hunt down the players?

Qiao Song jumped directly to a metal basin, grabbed the handle of the knife and pulled it out.

The sound of the knife being pulled out was like pouring a bucket of cold water into the crowded place.

"Damn, which bastard hid a fruit knife here... couldn't he hide it a little better?!"

"No way, she might have just pulled it out accidentally. She probably doesn't know the correct way to fight back..."

But as soon as Qiao Song got the weapon, he fought back without hesitation.

The scented lemon closest to her was stabbed through by the nearly two-meter-long fruit knife almost instantly, and then quickly cut into two pieces.

Qiao Song quickly kicked the guy twice and kicked him under the table.

The lemon juice flowed out along the railing underground.

[Ding——Lemon drink is being made. Please speed up. There are still 8 minutes before the last dish is served. If the dish fails to be served, the store manager will personally return to the kitchen to check the situation.]

"It's over, it's over, guys, hurry up, it will be too late if you don't get up now——"

The leading Big Lemon shouted, and immediately asked the Green Oranges and the younger brothers of various colors behind him to rush forward. He began to retreat, obviously preparing to escape.

Once Qiao Song got the weapon, Lemon's speed became much faster. It didn't take a few minutes to chop the pursuers into two or three pieces.

The situation suddenly took a turn, and the guy who was planning to escape secretly suddenly encountered an unexpected obstacle.

"You're crazy. Didn't you see that player was killing people? What do you mean by stopping me now? I'm going to complain to the president. Be careful or he'll kick you out!"

Although Wang Anning's hands were shaking a little, he still used his baton to block the big lemon who was twice as strong as himself.

"She, she is also very fierce, but she is much better than you violent people. I don't want your crappy resurrection function. You are the one who dragged me in!"

He gathered his strength, picked up the baton and smashed it against the lemon peel, and an electric current instantly struck out.

The guy he accidentally backstabbed raised his gloves with an angry look on his face.

【Third-rate underground boxer】

[Although he may not be the best boxer according to the official rules, he is definitely the most ruthless in using dirty tricks.]

"I'm going to beat all the lemon particles out of your brain!"

The young security guard crossed his hands and took two hits. He thought with a sour feeling that what he spit out might also be lemon juice. Then he felt that the attacks in front of him, which were getting heavier than the last, had disappeared.

He looked up and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face. Only Qiao Song's chin was exposed outside the mask, and he was smiling at him.

"Not bad, you have grown a bit braver and can judge the situation now."

Qiao Song kicked the lemon that he had cut into three pieces off the counter.

There were corpses all over the floor below, and fresh lemons were lying on the edge of the floor drain railing.

The air is filled with fresh fragrance.

Qiao Song was in a good mood: "Right, this is the correct way to beat Lemon."
