Chapter 228 Zootopia

Chapter 228 Zootopia

After the meeting, Gao Chengcheng looked a little shocked.

"You want to use the River of Life and Death to kill Chen Long?"

Qiao Song said that this method is indeed effective. She has tried it on the snake. The zodiac animals simply cannot withstand the erosion of the river water. The only one who can do this is her, a native of the riverbed.

But she obviously wanted more than that.

After listening to the second half of Qiao Song's plan, not only Gao Chengcheng, but also Maotu's expression went blank for a moment.

"Wait, are you going to divert the river water directly into Chen Long's territory and drown him?"

Qiao Song still smiled: "No, I want to flood the entire Zootopia."

The room suddenly became quiet, and for a moment, even Aunt Huo didn't say anything.

What Qiao Song meant by this was undoubtedly that she wanted to take over the entire territory and then burn down the most valuable house on the land.

Gao Chengcheng observed the atmosphere in the room for a moment. She was the only one who was still a pure player. The other three were actually dungeon managers.

"...If that happens, wouldn't the entire Zootopia disappear?"

Qiao Song didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at the rabbit who had a somewhat absent-minded expression and said, "Rabbit, how many copies of the Infinite Highway does your Fairy Tale City produce every year?"

Maotu uttered an "ah" and slowly came back to his senses: "So you already knew it."

She held a feather pen in one hand and counted silently with her furry paws: "I have a total of four guilds and more than fifty players. After the Zodiac Contest is over, these people may be excluded and start a new business with the shrine fragments—"

"According to the 50% loss rate, some people may have to resurrect the game. As for those who are still alive, as long as they can settle down in the city, they will already be small administrators."

As one of the heirs of Maotu, Gao Chengcheng also learned about this information, but he didn't expect the follow-up questions: "I used to think that some of the dungeons on Infinite Highway had plots that were too close to some real plots, but it turned out that they were really made by the players themselves..."

Maotu glanced at her and said, "So didn't I tell you a long time ago? Don't focus on your ice cream skills every day. If you make an ice cream shop management game, it won't be like an infinite survival escape game. There won't be any tension at all."

Gao Chengcheng folded his hands and said, "Business games in the real world are very popular, okay? Maybe soon after I land on the little red dot on the map, there will be a lot of players coming to complete the game."

Qiao Song looked at her in silence: "Yes, once you have the right to designate a game area, everyone will work hard to make the game more interesting, or turn it into a safe place for other players to stay. However, this is still just helping the Infinite Highway to expand. All players will have only one destination in the end, either death or forced to change their identities.

Using Zootopia as a transit point, the most promising players will eventually be transformed into administrators.”

"And those who entered the resurrection game after death..."

Qiao Song paused. She had indeed never participated in the resurrection game before. "I guess that during the resurrection process, some important items will be lost, such as memories or other skills. And there is only one chance to resurrect."

Most players don’t want to die, but in Zootopia, as long as you climb up, the final outcome is already determined.

"Get the shrine fragment and become an administrator. No matter whether you succeed or fail, you will eventually have to manage a small regional game. This way, you will forget the purpose of coming here in the first place."

go home.

There is no end to the game, so where can you go home?

Gao Chengcheng was stunned for a moment: "That's true... My brother and I have been to Zootopia before, but we ran away early because we didn't want to get involved in what happened later."

Her brother accepted the fragments of the Dog, but was unwilling to run the mini-game and fight other players. Fortunately, a lot of soul coins were needed to run the game, so the two of them bankrupted themselves and ran away.

Her brother also deliberately transformed into a complete dog, and occasionally into a human, but never in the form of an animal.

If it is a dog-headed human body, it will be quickly locked by the administrator system.

Maotu got a little angry when he thought of this: "I still remember that in the last round, I was also optimistic about you and wanted you to take my place, but you ran away so fast with fox ears on your head."

At that time, the last three zodiac signs were competing for their positions, so other areas were opened one after another, and all the residents were not trapped in the city and prevented from leaving.

Gao Chengcheng and her brother took this opportunity to slip away.

Qiao Song also remembered at this time that it seemed that Zootopia only had residents from the fairy tale kingdom, and they were not limited to the image of rabbits. Most of their appearance settings were based on the fairy tales and legends of the area, such as the mermaid princess and the wolf grandmother.

Qiao Song remembered the gorilla, rabbit and hippopotamus he met in the convenience store.

In Maotu's opinion, Gao Chengcheng was just a deserter at that time.

Gao Chengcheng himself was a little dazed: "Oh, right, last time, my brother and I were determined to escape and didn't want to stay and be administrators..."

As a result, this time, he was summoned back by Zootopia, and he seemed not as determined as before.

She had just been discussing seriously with the rabbit how to set up a game with an ice cream truck.

Maotu was silent for a moment, and finally laughed: "Isn't there anything else I can do? I have to win at least once, sit in that position, and have a say in the committee, so that I can decide more important matters on this road."

"Like opening a door, like crossing a river..."

Qiao Song stared at Maotu, his tone somewhat sarcastic: "After the escape door is opened, isn't there only one place to enter?"

The rabbit looked around and finally scratched his ears: "This is not something I can decide. There are too many things to take care of in Zootopia, including the generation of new copies, the direction of props, the computing power provided to the main system, the loss and import of souls, and the development of mirror cities... Every area managed by animals has a basic task that must be completed."

Like Wu Ma, which was taken over by Qiao Song, those workers are basically serving the main system of the entire highway, while Si Snake is the direction of skill card resources.

Qiao Song thought back to the huge bounty he got from blasting the coral, hundreds and even thousands of skill cards. These were the real rewards of human blood.

There were also many "corpses" that she collected as well. Qiao Song actually didn't know what was the point of keeping these human bodies that had been completely drained of their usefulness, but her intuition told her that it was best to take them away.

Aunt Huo also spoke at this time: "Zi Shu is still integrating the data and making final preparations. Qiao Qiao, do you want to remember the past?"

The memory in Qiao Song's mind is a locked folder. Although Aunt Huo uses Wei Yang's ability to make her remember the things she experienced as a human being, Qiao Song still doesn't know the more distant past, the period after she crawled out of the River of Life and Death.

"Once those memories come back, everything you once exchanged for us will be taken back one by one."

Wei Yang pointed to the direction where the little crow had pulled the door out of thin air and left: "Li Yuan wanted to talk to me about your past before. I guess he wanted to return the ability of the portal to you in advance."

The battle in Zootopia has reached a white-hot stage. Chen Long sacrificed a long-buried chess piece to the sky, and will no longer give Qiao Song a more convenient opportunity to travel, allowing her to go to other zodiac areas like before.

Qiao Song raised his eyebrows and called the customs company in Ma all afternoon.

As a result, the communication was disconnected and there was no response.

Wei Yang seemed to have expected this: "Chen Long would not put himself in the center of the map for nothing. This should be part of his plan. Next, you may have to use other methods to get the rule cards from the remaining zodiac signs."

Wu Ma's ability to travel is not bad, but if he completely turns into a horse, he will be too conspicuous.

"It doesn't matter. The Gate of Hell cannot be returned to me now. Li Yuan gave it to me, so it will be inconvenient for me to use him for other things later."

Gao Chengcheng suddenly looked enlightened.

So did Qiao Qiao deliberately anger Crow before?

The guy looked broken by some of Kuai Qiao Qiao's jokes.

Qiao Song wanted to laugh when he thought of Li Yuan: "It's okay, he should be used to it."

Aunt Huo also looked at Qiao Song with a smile: "If I hadn't noticed the change in your aura, I would have doubted whether you had remembered it."

Bullying the little crow is both Qiao Song's instinct and a tacit understanding between the two of them.

Do young people nowadays like this?

No wonder Li Yuan left so abruptly.

Qiao Song: "If I'm not mistaken, the Rat's domain should be related to the main system. Li Yuan shouldn't waste too much time with me, but should go there."

"By the way, someone asked me to give this to you."

Wei Yang Huo Siran took out a very thin little book.

The cover was white with a large handwritten title on it.

Infinite Highway (Prequel)

Qiao Song took it and showed a very interested expression.

"Is this the book written by the leader of the strategy team and her sister?"

Aunt Huo hummed: "These are all things from the past. You can flip through them if you have nothing to do, but thinking about them too much may not be a good thing."

The Infinite Highway now has its own operating mechanism. When Qiao Song restores all his memories, it means that all the permissions previously given will be automatically reclaimed.

She can't manage such a huge game world instantly now.

Qiao Song suddenly felt that the book in his hand was a little heavy.

It was as if telling her that after reading this, she would have to work overtime for this highway without any working hours, 996 hours a day.

Hiss, let’s let Li Yuan and the others come first. That guy used to be a game developer, so he is familiar with this.

Qiao Song can also choose to use her current identity to get what she wants.

Therefore, the Rabbit has already started to eat its belly very consciously.

"I've been waiting for this moment for so long. I've worked in this broken fairytale city for so many years, and every time I trained a successor, the successor ran away!"

The fairy tale world does not restrict the player's form, and they do not need to maintain the appearance of animals all the time. This means that compared to other areas, the burden of running away for players in Maotu is particularly small.

Because there is no one to take over, the Rabbit has, in a sense, been working without a break all year round for who knows how many years.

She would vomit if she was asked to continue writing stories, and the crazy attack by her predecessor, Snake, had messed up the storybooks in her hands.

Whoever wants to write this crappy book can write it! She wants to take a vacation. I don't want to see this pen again in my life!

The doll-like rabbit lifted up his short Tai Chi suit and took out three cards from his cotton doll-like belly: "From now on, the fairy tale world will be handed over to you. I have to find a place to complete my real main business!"

Qiao Song looked at the Sheep, then at the Rabbit: "Are you planning to go back and write a game guide? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The rabbit's ears froze, and his face was suddenly filled with horror: "How did you know——!"

As soon as the keyword "game strategy" came out, Gao Chengcheng next to him became alert instantly.

She frowned and looked at Rabbit carefully: "Wait, come to think of it, Maotu should have been a gamer who rose to the top, so you used to be a game guide, so you are..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking. It's fine as long as everyone knows it. There have been too many idiots among the little bastards I manage over the years. I don't even have the face to call myself their president. I occasionally ask my sister to bring back a few strategy guides for them. That's already the best I can do."

God knows, the strategy group didn't have this style in the early years. At that time, the idea of ​​the team members was to do their best to break through countless copies and find a way out from the cracks of the game.

"No matter what the sacrifice, everything is for the ultimate victory."

As a result, after Rabbit became the manager of the Fairy Tale Kingdom, he became a hands-off boss and was locked up in a tower every day. He was either writing books or changing the story lines. The rabbit hair on his head was all worn out.

It was because she mastered the Fairy Tale City quill that she was able to combine her skills with her sister's to write this book.

Qiao Song picked up the book "Infinite Highway [Prequel]" in his hand with confusion.

"So the reason you didn't give the book to me yourself is..."

Maotu pulled his two long ears in front of his eyes to block his sight: "You are such a bad parent. How shameful."

After she left, the members of the strategy group gradually became outrageous because their previous enthusiastic policies eventually failed.

It’s easy to go crazy when you don’t make money at work, and it’s also easy to go crazy when you work hard but don’t get any feedback.

When the group of bastards in the strategy group found that they could get some weird clues by going crazy in the dungeon, they completely went astray.

The main quest is a side quest in the game that is full of unconventional ideas. You don't have to be the first one to complete the game, but you must be the one with the most bizarre thinking.

"What kind of good person is like them? They will mess up the game every time they pass a dungeon. God knows how many dungeons in Zootopia were destroyed by us guys who we see every day. How can I explain this to my old acquaintances?"

She just shamelessly pretended that she didn't know those guys in her own guild.

Rabbit, I clearly asked Wei Yang to pass on this book! Qiao Song, you are showing no mercy to Rabbit at all.

After being exposed in front of everyone, Maotu felt that life was just like that.

Gao Chengcheng was trying so hard to hold back her laughter that she wondered why Maotu was so anxious to quit. She could only comfort her:

"It doesn't matter. Sister Qiao Song's method of clearing the dungeon is even more unconventional than those members of your guild..."

She had already put it very mildly.

Otherwise, according to the actual situation she knew, not only was Qiao Song's method of passing the dungeon like a walking demolition master, but every time he met the guys from the strategy group, he could always pin these lunatics to the ground and rub them.

After repeating this several times, the guys in the strategy group learned their lesson. I guess Maotu got the news and knew that the guy under his command had met the protagonist of "Infinite Highway [Prequel]", and he was scared to death.

The feather pen I used to write stories with was probably about to catch fire when I was working on the new guide.

The red rabbit eyes looked over and said, "Why are you so gloating?

Gao Chengcheng immediately put away his expression: "Aren't you going to be free soon? I'm happy for you."

Qiao Song looked at the pen and three rule cards handed over by the little rabbit: "I'll take the cards, you can keep the pen for now. I don't have time to take care of these things in the fairy tale kingdom for now."

The rabbit's expression, which had just improved a little, suddenly its ears drooped again.

So she still has to work for a while, right? As expected, she is the guy who took over the Wuma area... When will I, Rabbit, be able to experience the joy of being a hands-off shopkeeper...

Before, after Qiao Song killed the Snake, he did not put away the rule card because of his injury, and was directly judged as an invasion by the system. The Rabbit now surrendered and was planning to retire early, but Qiao Song would not let him.

When Qiao Song took the three black metal cards, a familiar system prompt sounded in his ears.

[Ding——Congratulations on successfully winning the new zodiac game area! The unique regional rights are increased by one! Now I will inform you about the operation status of the fairy tale in the entire Rabbit area...]

[As of the last second before the transfer of power, there are 39 fairy tales in your game area, and after the fusion, there are still 56 story lines in a chaotic state. To avoid a large number of player deaths, please sort out the story lines in time and let the game run according to the established rules first. ]

[Detected quill status, allowing temporary transfer of story editing capabilities]

The rabbit next to him shed tears silently. He gave up his position, but still had to work. This life was too hard.

Aunt Huo, the Sheep, did not voluntarily hand over management rights like the Rabbit did.

Qiao Song actually knew the reason: "Aunt Huo, your real body is still in the Weiyang area, right?"

Huo Siran nodded: "It will take me some time to make the human body independent. This is also one of the contents of our previous deal."

Qiao Song thought for a moment and said, "So the cats and the others can only appear in the player's skills, is it because of Weiyang's ability?"

Each independent kitten has a unique ability. Qiao Song used to think that Aunt Huo’s skills were a bit too comprehensive.

Huo Siran didn't know what he was thinking of, and smiled gently: "Because they were salvaged by us on the boat when you were a child. Many of the kittens' abilities were created by you yourself."

At that time, Qiao Song, whose original form was Little Stone, had just turned into a little girl. They crowded together on the back deck and salvaged the souls of the kittens from the river one by one. Qiao Song and the crow quarreled every day, but they would also name the kittens while quarreling and cooperate in creating skills.

It sounds like it was a fun time.

Qiao Song quietly put away the book "Infinite Highway [Prequel]" in his hand, waiting to read some of the content when she did something big later, to help her stabilize the situation in time and prevent Zootopia from collapsing.

"Next, I'll go visit the others."

Among the 12 zodiac signs in Zootopia, she has also reserved the card for the tiger. Now she only needs one more zodiac sign, and the power transfer will be halfway completed.

In the north, there is still work for the Rat, and now only the Pig is more convenient.

Rabbit didn't quite understand how Qiao Song was going to get through. "Unless you occupy half of the area, it will be very difficult for you to move. I just checked with Cheng Cheng about the intelligence. When the former Snake was causing trouble, he actually destroyed the entire border area between our Fairy Tale Kingdom and the Pig."

The fairy tale about the three little pigs building their house happened to be adjacent to the area of ​​the pig.

Now all the roads in that area have been blocked. If Qiao Song has to spend more time to clear the obstacles, it will waste a lot of time.

"Haizhu is the richest guy in Zootopia. His domain is making money almost as long as he opens the game. Why don't we send a few players over to open up a small route and let Haizhu get some soul coins to open up the route."

Every area in Zootopia has a task indicator issued by a hidden main system.

"The soul vending machine is manufactured by the factory under his control, and the printing factory is also in his domain."

The guy named Haizhu is the one who is truly rich.

It was worth it that before sacrificing his own little brother, the dead dragon remembered to ask the other party to block Qiao Song's way.

After listening to Rabbit's introduction, Qiao Song looked thoughtful.

"I have a guess about this. Someone left a very interesting prop here with me a long time ago."

Qiao Song had used this prop to scare many little ghosts before.

Now that I think about it, the silkworms around Yin Yin must have put in a lot of effort when she was giving her the props.

Qiao Song found a cute pink pig from the toolbox.

【The piggy bank that loves staying up late】

[Feed the ghost to it, and the piglet will help you spit out a lot of soul coins. 】

Qiao Song had always felt that this ability of the piggy bank was a little subtle.

Eating ghosts and spitting out money, it's simply a portable soul vending machine.

As soon as the pink pig came out, it hummed and ran to rub against Qiao Song's trouser leg.

Qiao Song has fed it several times, and almost every time there were high-quality ghosts. Even if the quality of the ghosts he encountered was not good, he would feed them in large quantities and make sure they were full.

And the owner now smells better and better, and is getting better and better. The piggy has really followed the right person!

As a result, the piggy bank soon heard an incredible request from Qiao Song.

"Good boy, open your mouth wide and swallow me in, okay?"

Piggy Bank:?

Wait…who am I swallowing?
