Chapter 248: Prequel to Infinite Highway
Qi Fan's residual power was too great, so the animals did not dare to be lazy. They rushed out of the room and started showing off their various skills.
Fortunately, Li Yuan and the others were still quite far away for the time being, and they could only see the little people flying in the sky like scenery.
In the dream game, after everyone became smaller, the corridors of the ship seemed extraordinarily spacious, becoming the size of a luxury cruise ship, allowing them to soar up and down and crash left and right.
However, these decorations are all things that cannot be looked at closely.
"Left, left, I see a chimpanzee coming over here! Li Yuan, quickly pave a path for me, just follow the video I just showed you!"
Shitou was yelling and didn't care about the programmer's life or death at all. He just asked Li Yuan to modify the environment according to his own ideas.
In Li Yuan's hand, a large number of 0s and 1s flowed down the keyboard and finally turned into a cotton-like fungal blanket.
The fungal mat grows forward and differentiates from white into small fungi of various other colors.
I saw big mushrooms rising into the sky, which directly turned into stepping boards for the little building blocks.
Ah Guang recognized it quickly. This was a promotional video he shot for Party A. "Captain, you have to pay copyright fees if this is released. But, were you so skilled before? You can make a game just by saying you want to."
After all, every time they worked as a team, they had to make a lot of preparations. A Guang was responsible for vision, Annie and Fan Xi were responsible for external security, Aunt Huo was responsible for internal security, Dr. Wu was a violent medic, and Li Yuan had to control the whole situation and change the rules of the game at any time.
It was because their team had cooperated countless times that they were able to deal with external attacks so smoothly before.
But Li Yuan can usually only load a game slowly in a small space.
It’s not like this time, where they started out big right away.
Li Yuan looked at the little stone who rushed out with a strange knife and curled his lips: "I just built the framework and haven't filled in the details. She is the one who makes the game grow."
The game background that Li Yuan just built was the product of A Guang's previous travel advertisement for a certain province. The purpose was to show the situation where mushrooms grow wildly in the corresponding season.
The mushrooms grew fast, and the stones rushed even faster. Li Yuan only had time to fill in two rules.
[1. When moving forward on the fungal blanket, you must step on a non-toxic mushroom once within five minutes, otherwise you will gradually get food poisoning]
[2. In this area, including the air range, anyone who has not stepped on mushrooms within five minutes will have his head transformed into the shape of a fruit. When facing a fruit knife, his defense will be reduced by half.]
The line at the back was added entirely for Xiao Shitou. In this map, she might be the only one who has a knife that Li Yuan created one-to-one based on the tablet game she completed.
That guy has always wanted to play a real-life fruit-cutting game.
According to Li Yuan's character, he would at least consider a few more perfect rules to continue to expand his advantages.
As a result, he found that his energy had been drained by the ever-expanding scope of the game.
Looking at the resentful expression of his captain and the movements of his subordinates who were constantly typing codes, A Guang immediately realized that they were being pressed to death at their workstations because of the map expansion brought by Xiao Shitou.
Li Yuan, you are a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes who always gives orders, and now you have come to this day!
As a result, A Guang didn't feel comfortable at all. Doctor Wu had already taken out a sledgehammer very consciously: "Let's go to the captain's room and release your drone to explore the way."
Mo Wen and Annie, the communication over there was just disconnected for no reason.
Before the disconnection, Mo Wen, who was in charge of driving the boat, jumped onto the operating table in the building block state as if he had discovered a new continent: "The sailing route of the ship in this crappy game seems to have changed. Li Yuan, Annie and I will go up and take a look now--"
But the captain's room, which was only two floors away from them before, now became a chasm.
Li Yuan doesn't have time to go over now, but if Xiao Shitou can temporarily fight one against a hundred, they can pull the others over.
When Qi Fan pulled the passengers on the ship into the dream, he put his people in one place, and the other members of Li Yuan's team were still in other locations.
Aunt Huo took the operating screen given by A Guang and stood beside Li Yuan. Countless rubber men dressed in housekeeping uniforms and security uniforms appeared one after another.
"That little girl is running too fast. I'll send two security guards to follow her."
Although they say that, they are actually afraid that the other party will have too much fun. A stone that is ignorant of the world does not know that in the world of players, it is not the one with the bigger fist who will win.
But Xiao Shitou was born different. She didn't know what fear was and was only curious about everything interesting.
She held a fruit knife with a glowing tip in her hand, and looked at the animal blocks flying in the sky in the distance with shining eyes, as if waiting to be served.
Li Yuan had already told her the content of the rules set by her, so Xiao Shitou was now waiting for a few big watermelons to fall from the sky.
The players on Qi Fan's side did not know Xiao Shitou's identity. Unlike the previous nights, the ones rushing to the front this time were the "supervised group" in Qi Fan's team.
After the game was over, the real bodies of these old, young, sick, disabled and weak people were still in the same space with Qi Fan, so even if they were afraid, they had to rush to the front.
Just like what Li Yuan had seen from afar before, they indeed turned into kites and floated over.
One of them was a small girl with a red fox head. She was holding countless kite strings in her hands and carrying a container on her back.
[Small Commodity Wholesale Kites]
[5 yuan, 10 yuan, 20 yuan, each level of kite can carry different objects, and in order to avoid some tragedies of annihilation, it is recommended that you buy a pair of scissors and cut the string in time. ]
The fox girl was responsible for selling goods and brought everyone together, flying over from afar, while the other one leading the team was a huge eagle.
The eagle looks majestic, but in fact its body is as thin as paper, almost the same size as a kite.
His ankles were tied with an electric wire.
This is also the only person Qi Fan has promised to rescue personally if he encounters danger.
Qian Erpi, an ordinary network installer, is certainly not as good as Li Yuan in terms of game making, but he can reduce the scope of the network controlled by Li Yuan.
[Network blocker is being generated. Please take the blocker to your destination by yourself...]
Qi Fan didn't know Li Yuan's background, he only knew that this guy could create games on a small scale without getting the stone key.
But if you unplug the network cable, won’t there be no signal whether you are playing games or communicating?
Qi Fan found a place to sit in the back with satisfaction, holding a telescope he got from the girl selling goods, and watched the battle in the distance safely.
"Seven people leading the charge should be enough for now, but I wonder who that little girl is... huh?"
The fight that Qi Fan had expected to last for a while did not happen. After the kite floated into the range of the mushroom bush, one by one, like moths sprayed with poison, they fell rapidly.
Not long after landing, it shook again and soon turned into a bunch of common fruits such as tomatoes, oranges, watermelons, bananas, etc.
Then a little kid jumped high, holding a knife that was almost as tall as her, and started fighting with the fruits with a few clicks.
Qi Fan adjusted the picture and soon saw Xiao Shitou, who was having a lot of fun in the camera, and her own person opposite her, who fell off the mushroom before he could figure out the situation and soon became dazed.
Qi Fan clicked his tongue, realizing that this was the rule of the game set by Li Yuan and the others.
Standing behind him were a few cube orcs who had eaten meat before and were considered the ruling class.
"Brother Qi, the situation is not optimistic. That little girl alone has held back half of our people. Do you want to send a few more brothers out for support?"
"I said it's useless to release these rations. They are stupid and incompetent and useless. It's better to keep them at home and eat them when they are hungry."
"You have a brain that's screwed. We are in a dream game now! It's a waste to let them take the lead. Doesn't it prove that there are different rules of the game over there?
Even if we send people out, if they die, at most they will drop some skills. When the game is over, Boss Qi can still eat us after he sends us out. If we send you over, and you die, who will pick up the skills you dropped for you?"
When Qi Fan heard this, he slightly curled the corners of his mouth and didn't seem anxious at all.
"Don't worry about the lives of those people for now. Send half of you to the captain's room, and the other half to be on standby to fill in later."
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the small little girl with a knife was a little difficult to deal with, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Qi Fan looked at it for a while, snapped his fingers, and took a key with the stone skin peeled off in his hand.
The people behind him quickly divided into teams, and their faces were not very good to the guys who stayed behind to fill in the positions in the mushroom game later.
Qi Fan gave the key to the person who was going to the captain's room: "Before the game ends, I will make a broadcast. Remember to insert the key into a locked transparent box in the captain's room before the broadcast starts."
"If you can't do it, you know the consequences." The dragon-headed building block man glanced at them sideways.
The men took the things with great fear and trepidation. It was not like they were facing a guy who was a shipbuilder by profession, but more like they were looking at an evil spirit who held their lives in his hands.
Qi Fan gently stroked his dragon whiskers, and soon smiled with narrowed eyes: "Why do you all look so ugly? Come on, the rest of you, come with me to the mushroom field to help. Don't let a little girl picking mushrooms kill all our food supplies."
Even if this kind of death is not a real death, he would rather the one who drops the skill is someone in the opposing team.
After all, what he wanted was still there.
As for Little Stone, he is having a lot of fun now!
She said, “These things made by humans are so interesting!”
Li Yuan also told her to remember two rules: she must step on a non-toxic mushroom every five minutes, otherwise she would feel dizzy.
But this game is much simpler than she imagined.
If you see a fruit man falling from the sky, just chop it with a fruit knife.
And the small spots of light that fall from these people are also very interesting!
Xiao Shitou had seen all kinds of players in the mall before and had a rough idea of what skills these people possessed, but this was the first time that someone had used these things against him.
But it doesn't hurt when it hits the body.
[No one can escape the overtime DEBUFF! ]
[After being attacked by this file, you will automatically enter overtime mode, bowing and scraping to people with higher positions than you, and the lower your seniority, the lower your status. ]
The man holding the folder is a corporate slave. He originally thought that judging by the size of the building block man, he must be at least a minor and must have very little or even no length of service. However, when the folder was hit on the man, there was no reaction at all.
That’s not right. Even a child would be affected. Is it possible that this little guy will never go to work in his life?
Is this some kind of princess who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth?!
A stone that was born in the river of life and death doesn’t have a silver spoon in its mouth, so of course it doesn’t need to go to work!
The guy who was trying to hit the stone with a folder was split into two halves by a fruit knife, and a bunch of things that looked like work permits that looked like office workers fell to the ground.
I saw someone actually using a knife to chop fruit. Next to him was a girl covered in toy guns. She screamed and flew away with a kite.
At this moment, a man whose head turned into a strawberry took out a sealed box of durian meat and threw it out.
Xiao Shitou split the durian flesh with one stroke.
[For those who have never eaten durian, durian is either the ultimate delicacy or the invincible bomb]
[Smell bomb power X100]
Faced with the indifferent stone of various skills, at this moment, she, who had a human body, smelled the scent of durian for the first time.
If they met as food, Xiao Shitou might fall in love with it, but the durian as a weapon did not give her this opportunity.
How to put it, it was like a person who had the sense of smell for the first time, and what he smelled was not the fragrance of flowers, but a terrible stench. Regardless of whether he put it in his mouth or not, Xiao Shitou's face turned green instantly.
Is this actually a fruit? Why do you humans eat everything!!!
Xiao Shitou jumped up on the mushroom and started killing like crazy, but she forgot the rules that Li Yuan had told her before.
If you don't step on a non-toxic mushroom for more than 5 minutes after leaving it, you will go into food poisoning mode.
Xiao Shitou's hand holding the knife became more and more unsteady. Her eyes were dizzy and she only saw a bunch of kites flying over again. This time, the animal building block people were obviously much bigger.
However, the rubber man security guard and Li Yuan and others behind her finally stepped on the mushrooms.
With one arm, the drunk little stone man was pulled up.
Li Yuan even saw the other person sneeze.
"It stinks! Why does durian stink so much? So this is what stinks like? I don't want to eat stinky things!"
I had originally planned to eat more delicious food after becoming a human, but the human diet is so weird.
Li Yuan could only sigh: "Mushrooms are edible, I'll make soup for you later when I have the chance."
Li Yuan pulled Xiao Shitou up and stood up. Qi Fan, who had transformed into the dragon head, was about to come over and take on the game himself. Although everything was going according to plan, his game map was spread out, and two new rules had just been added, Li Yuan still had a very bad premonition.
Most of the screen left by A Guang was gray and white.
The computer screen in his hand had already shown the data gap in this area, and all the data packets sent out were blocked by something in the sky.
Li Yuan probably guessed that the kite with the black wire flying in the sky might have blocked the communication, otherwise he would have known the situation in the captain's room on A Guang's side right now.
However, Xiao Shitou suddenly looked up in confusion and looked towards the space above his head, which was the direction of the captain's room separated by several floors.
"Hey, it looks like the boat turned around."
Li Yuan and Aunt Huo looked at the increasing number of enemies in the sky with unhappy expressions: "Turn around?"
What they didn't know was that the scene that Guang and the others saw after arriving at the captain's room was enough to make the fat guy make more than a dozen calls at once. Unfortunately, the communication was poor and none of them went through.
Dr. Wu and A Guang did not see anyone else in the captain's room, but they saw a screen light up above the operating table, with a familiar shopping mall marked on it.
The mall was like a transparent model with layers of lights on, and various game areas, many of which were even those that Li Yuan and his team had visited.
If you look carefully, you can even see various moving light spots and little people.
A Guang and Dr. Wu also noticed that there was another sun outside the mall.
The artificial mechanical sun, which they had never seen before, illuminated the mall like a street lamp.
But this light was very similar to the blinding white light that almost burned people to death before.
There is a line of text and a map on the edge of the screen, as well as the corresponding black sea space outside the mall and the ships moving on the map.
"【Infinite Shopping Mall is evolving out of control】?" Doctor Wu read out these words.
No, that's not the most serious problem.
Ah Guang's scalp was about to explode: "With this route, this direction, we haven't left the starting point of the River of Life and Death at all!?"
This ship that said it was going to take them away from the mall and the infinite game is actually returning! ?
