Liu Tang was originally a law-abiding employee in the Myriad Mirror Garden.
Until one day, he learned from a guest that he was just an NPC in the "Hell Game," and all the guests were ...
Chapter 009: Eating Watermelon in the Rest Area (1)
Hearing Mo Qianhe's words, Min Liang, who was standing next to the mirror, was stunned.
This liar actually wants to take Boss out?!
If he can get Boss out, my name will be reversed...
Oh, forget it. There's no need for that. My name is still very important. There's no need to bet with this liar over such a small matter.
Minliang thought guiltily.
After Mo Qianhe asked the question, he saw that Liu Tang was silent for a while, so he added:
"You mentioned before that what you need most are secrets. Come with me, we can go to different dungeons, meet different players, and obtain more secrets."
Liu Tang had to admit that the proposal was very tempting.
He opened his own Boss-specific panel and found that there was indeed an option to leave the original copy.
[So the system gives the Boss such a high degree of flexibility? ]
[Then can't the bosses of each dungeon visit at will? ]
[Why haven't we seen other bosses come to our "Wanjing Garden"? ]
When Mo Qianhe heard the other person's thoughts, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.
He was just taking a gamble, but he didn't expect that the other party could actually leave the copy.
So I waited for the other party's answer with even greater anticipation.
Liu Tang withdrew his thoughts from his numerous questions, reconsidered the other party's proposal, and said:
"If I leave with you, this dungeon will have to be closed. Can you guarantee that if I go to another dungeon with you, I'll definitely gain more secrets than if I stay in Wanjing Garden? This dungeon is specifically designed for exploring secrets."
Mo Qianhe was silent.
The Mirror of Sin Hell is a copy that can reveal people's inner secrets. The efficiency of obtaining secrets here must be much higher than in other copies.
If the other party follows me and leaves, it can be said that the loss outweighs the gain.
He suddenly had an idea and took out a blank doll from his backpack and handed it to Liu Tang.
"This is the 'Bionic Doll' item. It can take on your appearance and imitate your behavior, acting as your NPC in the dungeon. This way, you can continue to run the dungeon while still hanging out with me, like we're on a trip."
Liu Tang took the prop, looked at it in his hand with some curiosity, and quickly marked the usage and effect of the prop in his field of vision.
[This item is really useful. Anyway, my dungeon has a mirror that automatically asks questions to obtain secrets. I just need to calculate the secrets regularly. It's really a good method.]
[Ha, this way I can earn two points in different dungeons at the same time. Mo Qianhe is truly a genius!]
He thought happily while letting the props scan the information on his body.
After a while, the blank doll gradually turned into a human of the same height as him.
Although his expression was still a little stiff, it looked pretty much the same, and his speech and behavior were completely qualified to be a dedicated guide NPC.
As for being the boss...
Well, anyway, even if you open this dungeon dozens of times, you may not be able to unlock the boss once, so he can just come back temporarily to help.
Liu Tang didn't waste any time. After telling the puppet the necessary instructions, he planned to leave with Mo Qianhe.
Min Liang, who was waiting on the side, was dumbfounded at this moment.
"Is this, so simple?"
He didn't dare to bet easily, but he guessed that Mo Qianhe would have an 80% chance of fooling the boss away, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Seeing that he was still staring at him and Liu Tang blankly, Mo Qianhe couldn't help but laugh: "Let's go, don't stand there like an idiot."
Min Liang nodded mechanically and walked into the mirror with empty eyes.
This trip to the dungeon was not in vain, he really saw a lot.
Liu Tang clicked the "Exit Dungeon" button on the system panel, and two options popped up in front of him:
[Go to other copies]
[Go to the Underworld Rest Area]
Liu Tang knew that after players completed the dungeon, they would go to the Underworld Rest Area to rest for a while, but he found that the option "Go to the Underworld Rest Area" in front of him was gray and could not be selected.
He clicked on the option description and roared inwardly:
[Huh?! Companion binding?!]
Mo Qianhe paused as he was about to step into the mirror, turned around to look at the troubled young man, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Tang explained to Mo Qianhe:
To protect the safety of players, the Boss does not have the authority to enter the rest area alone.
You need to complete "companion binding" with a player before you can enter the rest area.
In the rest area, the Boss is subject to the same rules as the player and is subject to any restrictions imposed by the player.
Of course, in the rest area, players cannot attack each other, and naturally cannot command the boss to attack other players.
[Isn't this just like being a slave to the players in the rest area?!]
What if he makes any unreasonable demands on me?!
【I won’t go through this! 】
Liu Tang shouted in his heart.
Mo Qianhe heard the other party's thoughts and quickly tried to find a way to remedy the situation: "Don't worry, apart from the restrictions imposed on the players themselves, I will never make any additional demands on you."
Liu Tang narrowed his eyes slightly to show his disbelief.
Mo Qianhe was helpless: "I am your childhood friend. I have never forced you to do anything since we were little."
Liu Tang's strange intuition resurfaced, making him very sure:
This person didn't lie.
"Okay... Anyway, if you make me unhappy, I will come back directly." Liu Tang agreed reluctantly.
"No problem." Mo Qianhe nodded.
Liu Tang operated the system and selected Mo Qianhe to bind. A dialog box popped up in front of him:
[Are you sure you want to spend 500 points to complete the binding?]
Liu Tang sighed:
[500 points? So expensive?! Why don’t you just grab it from the system?!]
Mo Qianhe curled his lips, but since the other party didn't say it to him directly, he didn't know how to comfort him.
He just pretended to mention it casually: "There are so many players in the rest area, and they can also watch the live broadcast of other dungeons at the same time. I don't know how many points you can earn at once."
When Liu Tang heard this, his eyes lit up: "Is this true? You can even watch live broadcasts?! Isn't this the same as the mirror in my dungeon?"
Mo Qianhe smiled. Although this person had forgotten everything in his life, he had not forgotten any basic common sense.
He patiently replied: "You can also send comments to communicate with others."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier! If you had told me earlier, would I still be worried about whether I earned enough?" Liu Tang pressed the bind button without hesitation, but he still felt a little sad because 500 points were cleared.
The other party's binding request soon popped up in Mo Qianhe's system panel, and he chose to agree without hesitation.
Liu Tang saw that the opponent's 8,000 points evaporated by half in an instant.
[Oh my god! Four thousand points?! System, please be a human being!]
Liu Tang was surprised, but tried hard to keep calm.
[No, I can't let him know that I know he used far more points than me to complete the binding. Otherwise, what if he takes the opportunity to extort money from me?]
Mo Qianhe listened to the other person's lively little thoughts and found it cute. He took the other person's arm and walked into the mirror together.
[This person really didn't tell me? Isn't he a little too selfless?]
In the darkness, Liu Tang's inner voice did not stop.
[What should I do? This person is so nice, I feel ashamed.]
[It's okay. I'm the dungeon boss. When he leaves, I'll help him out. It'll be like repaying a favor.]
When Mo Qianhe heard these words, his heart felt sore and soft.
He didn't care about points, as he could still earn more if he lost them. But Liu Tang was the only one.
However, even though the other party knew that he was his childhood friend, he was still so polite to him, which made him feel a little sad.
Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time.
Before Liu Tang could finish his muttering, their eyes lit up.
"Welcome back to the 'Underworld Rest Area'. Clearance points are being calculated..."
The two heard the system announcement at the same time.
While listening to the points calculation, Liu Tang looked around and found that it was an empty small room with only two chairs for rest.
The walls are powder blue, creating a soft and tranquil atmosphere.
"Player Mo Qianke, dungeon contribution 5%, boss fight contribution 20%, level clearance score 150 points."
Liu Tang was shocked after hearing this:
[I only got 150 points for clearing the dungeon, and it cost me 4,000 to bind it. What a huge loss!]
[Unscrupulous system! Doesn't care about human affairs! ]
Mo Qianhe curled his lips. If the other party knew that he had spent 800 points to buy the "designated copy admission ticket" before, he would probably be shocked again.
When they walked out of the room, Liu Tang thought they would see a corridor, but unexpectedly, they came directly to a square.
Looking back, I saw a tall building behind me. Although it had continuous glass walls, the roof was covered with glazed tiles, giving it a somewhat mixed style.
"Why did you two come out just now?" Min Liang's voice came.
Liu Tang looked at the boy and was surprised to find that his hair had turned back to black.
Min Liang saw the other person's eyes and knew what he wanted to ask. He explained impatiently: "Red hair is a bonus appearance of my skill. It appears when I enter the dungeon. When I come out, the skill expires and my hair returns to black. It's so annoying. People always ask me this."
Liu Tang nodded and said nothing more.
Min Liang, on the other hand, still felt a little unreal.
The young man in front of him was the first boss he had seen being taken out of the dungeon since he entered the game.
Seeing that the young man was the only one there, Mo Qianhe asked, "Where are the others?"
Min Liang scratched his head and replied, "I left a long time ago. You think everyone is like me. I was fooled by you and still waiting for you to release a copy."
Mo Qianhe looked at the young man and teased, "Oh, you kept calling me 'Brother Mo' and 'Brother Mo' when we entered the dungeon. Now that you've found out there are really no rare items to share, your attitude towards me has really changed 180 degrees."
Min Liang looked embarrassed, but still held his head high: "A real man can bend and stretch, and the situation changes with the times. You liar, I will never call you brother again!"
"Xiaoliang." A young man shouted not far away.
Min Liang looked in the direction of the voice, and before he could even see the other person's face, he was already waving and running towards him: "President, President! Why are you here to pick me up again!"
The man put his arm around Min Liang's shoulders, ruffled his hair, and said, "I saw Mo Qianhe was going to bring the Boss out, and I didn't know what the result would be, so I came to see."
At that time, the dungeon live broadcast room was gradually closed and many viewers had left, so not many people really knew that Mo Qianhe was going to take Liu Tang out of the dungeon.
At this time they all rushed to the square to find out what was going on.
Seeing that the handsome NPC was indeed standing next to Mo Qianhe, they looked at each other in surprise.
This was also valuable information. Those who knew it did not make it public, but secretly took a photo of the man and planned to sell it to Wantong Pavilion.
After all, in the "18th level of Hell", intelligence is the most valuable thing and may be sold at a good price.
At this time, Liu Tang did not pay attention to the gazes of the people around him, but looked at their wrists.
[Wow, this causal connection is incredibly complex. Sure enough, collecting 10,000 exploration points is just around the corner!]
When Mo Qianhe heard this, he rubbed his fingers.
Unexpectedly, both players and bosses aim to accumulate 10,000 points.
This system task is quite interesting.
At this time, the young man who came to pick up Min Liang had already walked up to Liu Tang and the other man.
He pushed up his rimless glasses and politely extended his hand to Liu Tang: "Hello, I'm Jiang Minxu, the president of the Poshan Guild."
This man looks very decent, and looks very much like the male protagonists in many great and glorious film and television works.
Liu Tang noticed that the kindness value on the other person's head was higher than Min Liang's, and he felt very favorable towards him. He shook hands with him gracefully and said, "Hello, I am Liu Tang, the boss of the 'Wanjing Garden' dungeon."
Jiang Minxu's originally warm smile froze slightly.
How should I put it? This was his first time shaking hands with the dungeon boss, and the feeling of this friendly greeting was... weird.
Liu Tang looked at the causal lines on Jiang Minxu and Minliang's wrists, and knew at a glance that they were brothers, so he said, "You and your brother Minliang are both good people, and good things will happen to you!"
Jiang Minxu's expression froze again, and Minliang beside him burst into laughter: "Hahaha, the president is not my brother. Many people say that I look like him, but we are really not related by blood."
Liu Tang was somewhat surprised. He reconfirmed the causal connection between the two and said, "I'm right. You two are definitely related by blood."
"Huh?" Min Liang was stunned.
Sweat slowly began to seep out of Jiang Minxu's forehead.
Only Mo Qianhe, who was standing aside and watching the fun, couldn't hide his smile: "6."
