Perhaps to create a sunny atmosphere, the lighting on the fifth floor is particularly sufficient. In addition to the lights on the ceiling, there are many lights installed by the store itself.

Lu Cai raised his eyes, which were slightly painful from the stimulation of the bright light.

She closed her eyes, rubbed her eyebrows, and patted the seat next to her.

666 sat down beside her obediently.

After gathering his thoughts, Lu Cai opened his eyes and turned to look at him. "I just reminded you because you took me out of the dungeon. I have no intention of cooperating with you."

When 666 heard her speak, he turned his head and stared at her with his eyes open.

Lu Cai was inexplicably choked, unable to finish his words. 666's gaze remained the same, perhaps because they sat so close to each other and, unusually, didn't fight. Lu Cai glanced over and saw a look of helplessness in his eyes.

She looked away, suspecting that the man was trying to scam her.

The system group chat is still popping up messages.

[Qin Yu: Internal traitor? The man in the Tang suit?]

[Yue Xiaoyan: Isn’t he a gamer?]

[Zhao Yan: You can even infect the management?]

There is no choice but to reply.

[Lu Cai: He is a street sweeper.]

[Lu Cai: He's quite capable. I suspect he's at the commander level.]

[Yue Xiaoyan: Can scavengers rebel? I thought they were all killing machines...]

Lu Cai glanced at the "killing machine" beside him.

[Arbitrator Lu: Not sure.]

After replying, she felt herself adjust. "Is there any special reason why you're following me?"

Otherwise it doesn't make sense. In a situation like his, it's obviously more effective to work alone than to work in a group.

Lu Cai continued to look into his eyes. Since he couldn't express himself with words, he could only judge based on the emotions in his eyes.

But she was confused again. 666's eyes were full of confusion, the kind of confusion that could be seen at a glance without careful observation.

Well, she confirmed that the other party might really be mentally ill.

Literally, no cursing.

Chat Group——

[Lu Cai: If a mute follows you around, what will you do?]

[Qin Yu: Are you in trouble?]

[Lu Cai: Not a big deal, just a dumb guy with a bad brain.]

[Yue Xiaoyan: If I'm mentally unstable, can I still survive in KB Games?]

[Arbitrator Lu: ...]

She closed the chat box directly.

In fact, it is not impossible to cooperate with 666.

Lu Cai was a little shaken. He originally thought that he was a trouble, but after the siege on the tenth floor, it was proved that the number of people assigned to her by the management was no less than that of those who were sent to capture 666.

They are both equally good, so the so-called "more disadvantages than advantages" situation does not exist.

But he is a scavenger, a "scavenger" that players turn pale when they mention it.

Lu Cai didn't want to take the risk.

"Don't follow me. With your skills, you are more than capable of protecting yourself." She stood up and planned to go back to the sixth floor to check.

Repair the cloak first.

Lu Cai walked away slowly. 666 sat on the bench, holding the knife, and followed Lu Cai with his eyes. He finally understood what she said and did not chase after him.

......

There were many players gathered on the sixth floor, just like in the real world, when something new happened, everyone would gather together to check in.

Fortunately, she didn't see the scavenger, nor did she sense any data anomalies.

Lu Cai kept his head down the whole time, trying not to attract attention, but the incident happened opposite "No. 12", where there were the most people.

She carefully squeezed through the crowd and found that "Number 12" had closed the shop.

I held the glass door and knocked a few times, but there was no response from inside.

Just as I was about to leave, a young man walked out from the side door behind the counter.

When Jiang Yan saw Lu Cai, he narrowed his eyes, then unlocked the door and let her in.

"You are an NPC playing a player, and you are very enthusiastic about it--" Jiang Yan said half-jokingly.

Lu Cai followed him into the inner room, which was a studio. The room was not small, but the floor was filled with various tools.

Some of the props waiting to be repaired are of different sizes and take up a considerable amount of space.

"Last time you said you wanted to study my bandage?" Lu Cai's eyes swept around the room and finally fell on Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan looked at Lu Cai, his expression normal, and said calmly, "Your cloak is broken."

Neither of them was going to be polite anymore.

"I'll lend you the bandages for a few days to study. Return them to me before I go to the dungeon." Lu Cai stopped beating around the bush and said, "Help me fix my cloak." After saying that, she raised her hand to put away the cloak and took off the badge.

Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment, then finally asked, "When will you go to the dungeon?"

You really know how to grasp the key points.

"I still need to stay in the community area for a while." Lu Cai answered vaguely. She wanted to solve the signal problem, at least to ensure that the several companions who went to the dungeon together would not lose contact.

Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows: "No one does business like you do." He leaned against the workbench, crossed his arms and looked at Cai Lu.

"Since I helped you kill zombies, can't you be flexible?" Lu Cai didn't say he would save him. Would a player who can change his appearance at will really be attacked by a mutated zombie?

Even if she didn't take action at that time, he should have been able to avoid it.

Jiang Yan chuckled: "You recognized it?"

"No." Lu Cai just said, "It's just the same name, just a random guess."

It doesn't matter if I guess wrong.

Jiang Yan didn't dwell on this: "I always feel a little bit disadvantaged. Last time when we made the Ten Beef Fried Rice, we agreed that when you have time, you can give it to me to study."

"I'm not a player and I don't have any points." Lu Cai's tone was very indifferent. He didn't mean to play the victim, he was just stating a fact.

I don't have any points, so I can only rely on freeloading to repair props, eat, wear, live and travel.

Lu Cai was also not vague. He took out his dagger and pistol, walked to his workbench and put down the props.

"This is the 'unlimited glutinous rice flour' I picked up." She took out the glutinous rice flour and put it together.

The glutinous rice flour was left with Yue Xiaoyan at the end of the inn dungeon, but they both forgot about it. It was only when they met in the capital of the "Amber Legend" dungeon later that Yue Xiaoyan took the opportunity to return it to her.

Jiang Yan instantly became interested. He picked up the glutinous rice flour and took a look. The bag was wrinkled, and it was obvious that the owner of the prop did not take good care of it.

After putting it down, he reached for the dagger again. He looked carefully. It was just a community souvenir, supposedly harmless, but this one was clearly different. The blade was sharp, and even the material had changed.

Lu Cai had a blank expression on his face as he removed the bandage from his arm. "Can I fix the cloak now?"

The bandage was rolled up and neatly placed on the table.

Jiang Yan looked up at her and nodded: "Okay."

Lu Cai turned around and walked to the wooden chair in the corner and sat down.

"Are you going to stay here?" Jiang Yan looked at her puzzledly.

"Inconvenient? Then I'll go outside." She stood up and prepared to leave.

"Put this on." Jiang Yan casually pulled out a white badge from a metal box on the side and tossed it to Lu Cai. "I don't want that group of people at the door rushing in to punch in."

Lu Cai took the white badge, which was the same as the badge on her red cloak that needed repair.

"Is this valuable?" she asked with interest.

Jiang Yan: "It's not as valuable as yours." This is the truth.

"Why not give it to me?" Lu Cai raised his voice slightly. "I've given you all my belongings for your research. I'll give you a small gift so you can be a repeat customer in the future—"

Jiang Yan scoffed coldly. He had never seen such a shameless person. A returning customer? A returning customer who wanted to take advantage of others?

Lu Cai didn't say anything, just waiting for him to make his own judgment. The look in his eyes just now said it all. Her dagger was different from others.

"Take it away." Jiang Yan lowered his head, spread out the ostentatious red cloak, and began to examine the split hat.

"Thank you, boss!" Cai Lu put on his badge, knocked it, and a pure black cloak suddenly fell over him.

She put on her hood, her fingertips touching the fabric—

Well, the feel is indeed not as good as the red one, but she doesn't mind. Wearing the two alternately can also reduce the chance of being discovered.

Cai Lu left the studio, dragged a stool, walked around to the store door, and watched the players outside checking in through the glass.

After looking at it for a while, he felt bored, so Lu Cai spread out the code book, compared it with the chat box, and captured the signal code.

After studying it for a long time, I couldn't figure out anything. The chat group was still bustling with activity, mainly Yue Xiaoyan and Zhao Yan chatting away, with Qin Yu occasionally joining in. Shi Rukui still had no signal.

——

On the 13th floor of the same building, the main control room was empty, and the emergency number 111, which did not need to be avoided no matter what happened, was waiting outside the security door.

Inside the control room, in the center of the layers of computers, a ball of digital light was half-suspended in the air.

"I can make you the main system, or I can make you go back to being a copy trash—" The voice filled the main control room, as if it was everywhere, yet nowhere to be found.

The speaker was a young man.

"Dare to go beyond my authority and issue an order to hunt down 666?"

Several orange data lines appeared on the surface of the light ball, and the girl's unconvinced voice rang out: "666 is disobeying discipline and acting on his own!"

"He was fine when I was here, but he became unruly as soon as I left?" The man sneered, his patience running out.

The main system was also trembling with anger: "He looks honest, but he's constantly making small moves behind the scenes. 111 discovered that he attacked the security shield of the main control room several times-"

A large amount of data flashed across several computer screens, and finally with a "beep", the screens returned to calm.

"This is the trace I found when I was investigating the system data. 666 has evil intentions and we can't let him stay!" The main system was furious.

The man didn't say anything else, and silence fell in the main control room.

After a while, the man said, "Can his data open the first layer of security shield in the main control room?"

His tone rose slightly, not in a way that sounded like anger.

The main system did not respond immediately.

"A bunch of security systems can't protect against a scavenger?" the man sneered. "And yet you dare to call others defective?"

"111 has never mocked 666," the main system argued. "111 has always been assisting 666 in completing his mission."

The man's tone turned cold. "111 didn't embarrass 666, so what about you?"

"How could I get along with a defective product!" The main system seemed to have suffered a great injustice.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the light ball began to double, and the data was torn apart by two forces in different directions. The main system screamed, the sound vibrating the walls and hitting the glass door, and the computer screen became distorted with scrambled data and interference.

111, who was standing outside the security gate, suddenly turned around with a frown on his face.

A ball of light was almost torn into two halves. In the end, the two forces were released at the same time, and the ball of light merged together again.

"Take good care of your system data. Don't try to imitate humans' tricks. You can't learn them." After the man finished speaking, the computer screen went black for a while before slowly returning to normal.

A ball of light floated weakly above the circular platform, its light flickering.

The security door became passable, and a tall man in a suit walked into the main control room.

"Master, are you okay?" 111's tone was cold. This was his programming setting, to always be calm and unshakable rational.

The main system spoke weakly, "Just now... the gentleman really wanted to tear me apart..." Her voice gradually lowered, losing its previous arrogance. "Wasn't I good enough?"

"You're excellent," 111 consoled her. "Precisely because you're the best among all the data entities, Mr. is looking forward to you the most."

"No, he's not expecting me." The main system quietly calmed the fluctuating data. "He's expecting 666." The voice was firm, convinced that this was the real reason. "He wants 666 to replace me!"

111 could only numbly comfort her: "666 is a security system. It does not have the ability to control and process data. It will not become the 'main system'."

"He will!" The main system raised its tone with a sense of paranoia.

In 111's eyes, the main system of the child's temper is always stubborn and will cause trouble for 666 because of these groundless speculations.

This is irrational.

"Master, you should have a good rest. I will go to deal with the task feedback of 456 and 555." After 111 finished speaking, he left the main control room.

As I stepped out of the security door, the lights behind me dimmed.

He knew that the main system was angry again.
