Chapter 164
The 46th floor of the Cube Tower, a happy gift from Atong.
"Bang! Bang!"
The giant robot, as tall as a four-story building, smashed a player in front of it into a pulp with two punches, and blood splattered all over the wall.
The machine turned around clumsily and faced the frightened survivors behind it. A look of frustration and unhappiness appeared on the big flowered dog's face.
"Rubbish! Rubbish! Atong's gifts are only given to the most powerful people!"
The childlike voice was somewhat tender and innocent, totally inconsistent with its enormous and terrifying destructive power.
Less than ten minutes after Song Jingchen and Xie Yan were transferred to the 46th floor, the wooden floor was already covered with meat patties and bloody mud from Atong's murder.
At this moment, the two of them were standing by the entrance where they were first teleported, watching as fewer and fewer players in the field were struggling with Atong.
The entrance to the 46th floor has long been closed, and players in the same period of time will enter the tower level of the same subspace.
The number of people in each sub-space is capped. There were a total of two hundred players who came in with them, but now there are less than a hundred left.
Song Jingchen looked at the huge robot that was wreaking havoc on the field. The players were so small in front of it, like fragile dolls that could be knocked away by a punch.
As the only boss on the 46th floor, Atong has very simple rules, which is to defeat Atong or exchange gifts with him.
The reward for completing a level must be one of Atong's gifts. Players who successfully complete the challenge can also obtain all the tower climbing reward values from all dead players.
The red number that keeps flashing above Atong's head is the tower climbing reward value accumulated by all the dead players in this subspace.
3011 points, a considerable amount, is enough for a player to redeem three first-level items of any type in the tower climbing store, or 301,100 JR points.
There are three electronic screens flashing blue light in front of Atong's chest, and the pixelated patterns on them are a question mark and two puppy faces.
Like a slot machine or a scratch card in a lottery shop, as long as three identical patterns appear, Atong's big belly will open and the corresponding gift will fall out.
These gifts can be power-up items, or life-saving bubble rings, or even have a chance of dropping items that allow you to clear levels directly - Tower Keys and Stone Gates.
Different gifts correspond to different patterns. The probability of three question marks dropping a Tower Key is much higher than other patterns, but it is also the most difficult to encounter.
Among all the patterns, there is only one that is disadvantageous to the player, and that is the puppy face pattern.
The three puppy faces will not only make the system strengthen Atong's defense, but also greatly increase its attack power and reward Atong with limited talents.
For example, the three players who just went up were so unlucky that one of them got a puppy face, which directly gave Atong the gift of immunity to card attacks.
In the next few rounds of draws, Atong received another gift of talent, strong gravity control.
Such a gift is truly terrifying. Even if they have great abilities, they will be suppressed by the terrifying gravity as soon as they arrive in front of Atong.
Not to mention running, even walking was difficult. Without any life-saving props, he could not avoid Atong's fist and could only stand there and wait to die.
Song Jingchen watched from behind for a while and couldn't wait any longer, so he wanted to go down and try it.
However, Xie Yan stopped him and kindly reminded him:
"Don't be impatient. Atong's gravity talent hasn't disappeared yet. It's a bit risky to go down now."
Song Jingchen naturally knew about this situation, but there was no point in waiting any longer.
You should know that every player is trying to flip the pattern. They can wait for the gravity talent to disappear, but new talents will also appear as the players flip the pattern.
Don’t even think about trying to get out of the stone gate. It’s obvious that the game is using the players’ luck mentality to entertain them.
"I know, but look, there are already two puppy faces, and they're still trying to turn the pattern."
The strength of those two players was not weak. One of them was able to dodge the iron fist flexibly under the strong pressure of Atong's gravity.
So much time has passed. If all players concentrate on attacking Atong's head, they may be able to kill it.
But with the so-called lottery mechanism in place, everyone suddenly lost the idea of defeating Atong and only wanted to make money from it.
As long as the player continues to attack Atong and his anger value reaches above 80, the mechanical eye will turn completely red and the pattern on his chest will start to rotate.
The two men used all their skills and successfully made Atong's eyes red with anger. Then, under the expectant gaze of everyone, the blue electronic screen began to flash.
The aperture continued to flow across the three electronic screens, and finally landed on the question mark screen.
"No!"
"Fuck, why is this happening!"
The question mark rolled away, replaced by a puppy face.
When the three puppy faces appeared, Atong clapped his hands with great joy.
The system's announcement sounded again:
"Please note, players, this time, Atong has obtained a new gift talent: a 30-second impact cannon, with an attack range of the entire field."
As soon as the mechanical sound fell, Asong's arms underwent amazing changes.
The thick blue iron sheet peeled off, and a dark and deep impact barrel extended from the inside, pointing coldly at the survivors present.
"Hahaha, now it's bomber boy Atong!"
Everyone's faces suddenly changed, but the moment the impact cannon was activated, the two players closest to it had nowhere to hide and were directly blown into pieces.
After dealing with the garbage in front of him, Atong pointed the cannon at the people outside the field who were trying to escape.
The huge robot was chasing excitedly, and the bombardment cannons were indiscriminately attacking the entire field. It was difficult to dodge the shells, let alone get close enough to kill Atong.
Song Jingchen had no choice but to keep running with Xie Yan to avoid the attacks.
However, even if the shells did not hit the two people, the shattered shell casings could instantly cut off a person's head.
"Jingchen, be careful!"
As soon as Song Jingchen looked up, he saw a concussion shell falling straight down and was stunned.
Xie Yan quickly threw him to the ground, and a smooth film of water instantly spread out above the two of them.
The shell landed on the wall behind the two men, exploding into a terrifying black cloud. The shell, which still had residual power, almost pierced through the smooth water film, causing it to deflate unevenly.
"Are you okay?" Xie Yan looked at Song Jingchen who was protected by him and asked softly.
Song Jingchen shook his head and was about to say something when Xie Yan suddenly reached out and touched his cheek.
Song Jingchen was stunned and subconsciously wanted to push him away, but Xie Yan quickly explained:
"There was a little dust on your face, and I wiped it off for you without thinking too much. Do you mind?"
Song Jingchen shook his head, feeling something was a little strange, but he didn't think about it in other ways.
After all, Atong's bombing was still going on, and Xie Yan had just saved his life again.
He was about to say something when he suddenly heard a chilling voice behind him.
"What are you doing?"
Song Jingchen's heart skipped a beat. He raised his head over Xie Yan's broad shoulders and caught a glimpse of the tall figure standing in the distance at the teleportation entrance.
Huasan's handsome face was terribly gloomy at this moment, his eyes were full of frost and he stared at the two people hugging each other.
Song Jingchen's expression flashed with surprise, and before he could react, Xie Yan had already pulled him up calmly.
The water film covering the two of them glowed with light and was repairing itself.
However, through this hazy layer of water film, Song Jingchen couldn't see clearly, and Fu Hengyi's appearance here seemed more like his own imagination.
However, the next second, the water film blocking the two of them instantly broke and shattered, revealing the man's extremely sinister face.
The white ribs of the umbrella were not retracted, but were facing Xie Yan's throat, less than a centimeter away.
Faced with the strong oppressive feeling of the visitor, Xie Yan just looked into Huasan's eyes with a faint expression, and even slightly raised the corners of his lips, with undisguised sarcasm and provocation in his eyes.
Huasan's face darkened visibly, and he was completely enraged.
However, Xie Yan was not afraid at all that Huasan would kill him.
Sure enough, just as a hint of murderous intent flashed across Fu Heng's eyes and the umbrella rib was about to pierce Xie Yan's throat, Song Jingchen's voice rang out in time.
"Fu Hengyi, what the hell are you crazy about!"
Song Jingchen subconsciously reached out and grabbed the bone spur, fearing that Hua Umbrella would accidentally pierce Xie Yan's throat and make a bloody hole.
Hearing this question, he saw Song Jingchen's eyes full of vigilance and alertness, as well as his unhesitating favoritism.
Fu Hengyi couldn't describe the feeling, he just felt extremely cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
My heart was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and it was so painful that I almost suffocated.
"Song Jingchen, is he the reason why you broke up with me so desperately?"
Fu Heng asked this question in a very soft voice, as if a slight nod from the person in front of him would be enough to shatter it.
However, he underestimated the ruthlessness of his old lover. Song Jingchen did not nod, but just looked at him strangely and said:
"What happens between me and others is none of your business."
Upon hearing this, Fu Heng didn't get angry but laughed instead, his eyes looking terrifyingly deep.
"Yeah, what's it to me?"
"Ajing, you must feel very free when you're away from me, right? You enjoy this freedom, don't you?"
The man's voice was very gentle, so gentle that Song Jingchen felt a chill down his spine.
A small piece of Wind God's Binding appeared on his right hand. Although it was not as powerful as the original one, it was enough to cut Fu Hengyi's throat in an instant.
Fu Hengyi paid no attention to his actions and just lowered his head and smiled silently. When he looked up again, Song Jingchen had been pinched on the cheek by him and was unable to move.
Xie Yan, who was standing in front of Song Jingchen, had already been nailed to the wall behind him by the umbrella ribs that suddenly appeared.
Song Jingchen wanted to call Xie Yan's name, but the man's hands with terrifying strength pinched his cheeks, making it impossible for him to close his mouth.
There was hatred in Song Jingchen's eyes when he looked at Fu Hengyi. The man stared at him for a long time, trying to see some familiar attachment.
Unfortunately, the answer is no.
Song Jingchen no longer loves him. Ajing, who used to be around him, cook for him, keep watch for him, and even risk her life to protect him, is gone.
Song Jingchen didn't have him in his eyes, so he didn't care about his feelings at all, and even treated him like air.
He was no longer willing to form a marital relationship with me, even though I begged him repeatedly.
Fu Hengyi thought that Song Jingchen was just angry with him. He hated that he and Dong Huan were once husband and wife, so he didn't want anything that Fu Hengyi had given to others.
Fu Hengyi didn't dare to force it. When he realized that he was just a fool in love, he could no longer control the game he hosted.
Although she was not tied to him as a couple, Song Jingchen suddenly became the spouse of a man she had only known for a short time.
When he heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue. Without thinking, he immediately used the locking teleportation item to come here.
He wanted an explanation, but what did he see?
Now, he didn't want any explanation, whether it was escape or fear of hearing the answer, anything.
At this moment, Fu Hengyi only had Song Jingchen in his eyes. His eyes were filled with too much longing and possessiveness that he could not express.
"I used to love freedom, but thanks to you, I don't want it anymore."
Song Jingchen was restrained all over and couldn't move at all. He could only stare at the man in front of him and listen to the madman talking to himself, completely ignoring his cheeks that were pinched so hard that they hurt.
Fu Hengyi wanted to say something, but his eyes were attracted by Song Jingchen's pink tongue and the crystal liquid that overflowed from the corner of his mouth and could not be swallowed.
The man's eyes suddenly darkened, and he suddenly asked:
"Did he kiss you? Did he touch you, huh?"
Song Jingchen was stunned. Before he could react to the meaning of this person's words, the scent of cypress rushed into his nostrils and his lips suddenly hurt.
"Fu.....Ugh!" Fu Heng I'm going to knock your uncle!
Fu Hengyi's kiss revealed a kind of indulgence and revelry after despair. Even though he knew that doing so would only make the two of them drift further and further apart, he had no choice.
The kiss in the smoke was not very romantic. Song Jingchen's tears flowed quickly and in large quantities. The man licked them one by one with heartache, and then kissed his beloved red eyes.
The two people protected by the flower umbrella had no idea when Atong's artillery shells ended.
By the time Fu Heng was willing to let Song Jingchen go, Xie Yan had already endured the severe pain and pulled out the umbrella ribs that were nailed to his body.
He looked at the two people standing close together with an expressionless face, slowly clenched his hands, and two crimson swords appeared silently in the air.
Huasan curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, knowing that this thing might not be an easy thing to deal with.
However, he was also surprised at this man's terrifying endurance. You know, the power of the umbrella ribs is enormous. Even if a capable high-level player is nailed to the wall, it is difficult for him to struggle down by himself.
Not only did Xie Yan come down in a short time, but the big hole in his stomach was also slowly repairing.
"I'm going to kill him."
Fu Heng glanced at Song Jingchen and said calmly.
He didn't explain too much to Song Jingchen. At this point, there was no way Song Jingchen would believe his explanation.
"Fu Hengyi, don't force me to hate you." Song Jingchen's voice was not loud, but it was enough to make the man's heart tremble.
Fu Heng smiled and said, "I just want you to hate me, baby."
"I didn't get this position, so don't think about taking it."
After he finished speaking, he retracted the umbrella ribs and walked towards where Xie Yan was.
The two men attacked quickly and fiercely. Needless to say, Fu Hengyi, a man with many battles, quickly saw through Xie Yan's weaknesses after just a few moments of fighting.
Although Xie Yan's two swords were very fierce and their speed was so fast that it could not be captured by the naked eye, it was difficult to defend against them for a while.
However, no matter how powerful the twin swords are, once they leave the hands of their masters, they will be difficult to turn and lack sensitivity.
Fu Hengyi seized this opportunity, and the ribs of the umbrella almost cut off Xie Yan's head.
Fortunately, Xie Yan had a lot of life-saving props, and the afterimage was killed, and Xie Yan had already moved to the back of Fu Hengyi.
After a brief respite, the two soon became entangled again.
The chase between the two soon affected the giant robot Atong in the center of the field.
Xie Yan used the robot to deliberately hide himself and barely brushed past Fu Hengyi several times, which made Fu Hengyi extremely angry.
Immediately, all eight ribs of the umbrella opened, breaking the head of the giant robot in the center of the field. Atong fell to the ground completely.
Xie Yan was greatly shocked when he saw this scene. He did not dare to let go of his two swords easily, so he had to fight Fu Heng in close combat.
However, he was injured and his movements were restricted. He managed to hold on for a few rounds but his face turned pale.
Xie Yan was caught off guard and the man took advantage of the opportunity. His two swords were knocked away and his palms were pierced into the ground by the umbrella ribs.
"Who dares to plot against me?" Fu Heng sneered and walked towards him nonchalantly.
"Who allowed you to approach Ajing? The King of Hearts? Or the Night King?"
Xie Yan didn't say anything, but just spat a mouthful of bloody foam at Fu Heng.
He smiled arrogantly, "Hua San, you can defeat me, but you can't kill me."
"I am Song Jingchen's spouse. He won't let me die."
Fu Hengyi didn't say anything, but just stepped on Xie Yan's injured stomach.
"ah!"
Xie Yan let out a painful roar, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
"It's just temporary. Do you think I'll be jealous of you?"
Although the man had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of violence and jealousy.
Xie Yan only uttered that one sound and then remained silent. He was really patient.
He stared into Fu Hengyi's eyes, a happy smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"You should really see yourself now, Queen of Spades. You're ridiculous."
"Aren't you the best at playing with other people's feelings? How can this retribution be enough?"
"Don't be anxious, Huasan. It won't be too late to follow Song Jingchen after he dies! Hahahaha!"
Xie Yan's laughter stopped abruptly, and the man threw away the short blade in his hand with an expressionless face.
Xie Yan's body just twitched a few times with effort, and then disappeared from the spot, replaced by a square identity card.
Fu Heng was about to reach out to pick it up, but someone else picked it up first.
"A Jing?"
Song Jingchen should have heard the conversation between the two just now.
However, there was no emotion on his face, no sadness or disappointment. Fu Hengyi's heart slowly rose to his throat.
Song Jingchen just glanced at the card in his hand and said softly:
"You see, I always have your label on me."
"I am not myself, you are still you."
Xie Yan approached Song Jingchen because of Fu Hengyi. The two may not have direct hatred, but this may be due to Fu Hengyi's amorous nature.
The reason why betrayal is so hard to accept is that the person who stabs you is always so caught off guard.
However, Song Jingchen did not feel that sad. He just accepted it all calmly again.
"A Jing, I..."
"Xie Yan and I don't have that kind of relationship." Song Jingchen suddenly said.
Fu Heng was stunned, and then he heard the person in front of him continue:
"Because we're teammates, in order to reduce risk and increase survival rate, Xie Yan suggested that we tie our spouse together."
"Even without you, I would have ended my relationship with him after leaving Tower A."
"I didn't expect that he approached me with a purpose, just to get revenge on you."
"So." Fu Hengyi's heart sank slowly.
Song Jingchen looked into his eyes and said softly:
"So, don't come near me anymore, Fu Hengyi."
"I couldn't be anything to you before this, let alone after this."
"I beg you, okay?"
