Infinite Secret House 3: Find Xiaoxi
Lin Qian and the other two were actually working together to buy a piece of information, and each of them only had to pay one-third of their life time.
They agreed that after they went out, each would decide how much the information would be sold for based on his or her own ability. As they were all veteran players with their own circles, they didn't want to offend each other, so they quickly reached a consensus and made a decision.
Huo Liang was left alone, feeling angry and furious.
He used his card and kindly brought them in, but these people actually left him aside in a blatant manner!
It was as if she was certain that he could not survive and was unwilling to devote any more energy to him.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Can the dormancy charm be cheaper?"
He also wanted to buy information, but the most urgent thing was to save his life, so he had to buy the hibernation talisman.
The receptionist Bee had already explained the function and value of the Hibernation Charm - 200 life-hours, while he only had 125 remaining, which was far from enough.
He had to find another way to obtain the dormancy talisman.
Huo Liang asked, "Are you buying things here? If you sell intelligence, do you also need to buy information?"
Xie Yunsui became interested: "Oh? You want to sell information?"
He casually set up a soundproofing array, and Lin Qian and the other two saw that the two people who were talking happily suddenly fell silent. When they looked again, they saw that their faces were covered with a layer of mist, and their mouth movements could not be seen clearly.
The three of them looked at each other.
"Why didn't we think of selling the news? He got there first."
"When people are pushed into a corner, they always do unexpected things."
"I just want to know what kind of news Mr. Xie would be interested in."
"You want to sell it too?"
"With this opportunity, don't you want to make a fortune?"
In their player safe zone, information intelligence is also very valuable.
Of course, I'm not referring to the method of passing the level. Even if it's the same dungeon, different batches of players will have different ways of passing it. If you copy the method completely, you will only die faster.
Moreover, some people are suitable for fighting with wits, while others are good at passing levels by brute force, and other people's experiences are mostly not applicable to one's own.
However, the basic information of some NPCs in the dungeon, especially the boss, is very important. This is also circulated among players. The more information you collect, the more hope you have of passing the level.
Selling it to players is selling it, and selling it to Boss Xie is also selling it.
The three of them didn't feel any psychological burden, even though Boss Xie was very likely to belong to the monster camp.
The only worry now is that they don’t know how much Huo Liang has said. After all, the more Boss Xie knows, the less they will sell.
After waiting for a long time, Lin Qian and the other two found that the soundproof array had finally disappeared. Huo Liang jumped and took the dormant talisman that was floating above his head. He first showed an ecstatic expression of surviving a disaster, but then remembered that he was not the only customer here, and looked at Lin Qian and the others warily.
"Congratulations." Lin Qian said with a smile.
Since Huo Liang couldn't die, she naturally wanted to ease the relationship. Not to mention gaining a friend, at least she would have one less enemy.
Huo Liang turned his eyes away coldly. In short, he would never trust anyone easily again.
Rather than trusting your fellow players who may stab you in the back at any moment, it’s better to trust the Secret House. At least Boss Xie really gives you props.
Lin Qian and the other two traded information with Xie Yunsui one after another, only to find out that Boss Xie was truly powerful.
They had just finished explaining almost all the information they knew about the dungeon boss, and the other party calmly told them the next one.
In the end, they still had to collect a lot of information from the players before they could earn a few lives.
…
After the four players finished their transactions, Xie Yunsui finally stopped his mysterious performance and returned to his study to count his gains for the day.
The little bee followed up and said, "Shopkeeper, we sold an item today! We finally broke through zero, that's awesome!"
"Thank you for your encouragement." Xie Yunsui said calmly, "I'll carve a few more passes when I have time."
The little bee flew away with a huff.
This world is so terrible. I can’t go out and play like I used to. I can only carve passes here every day.
The pass is used to connect to the passage leading to the secret house in Xiaowan's space transformation. Apart from Xie Yunsui, it is the only one who can do this job.
Xie Yunsui was also very distressed. He was rejected as soon as he came to this world.
The zombie world obtained a ray of the world's original power, which allowed him to automatically obtain relevant information about the world as soon as he entered the world, commonly known as the world line.
But this world doesn't have it, or rather, the origin of this world refuses to provide a world line.
Is there an existence above the rules?
Xie Yunsui was quite apprehensive and decided to proceed cautiously as he had just arrived.
However, he did not land in the player's safe zone, but in the habitat of a group of monsters called NPCs and bosses by the players. The creatures here are strange in shape, some are grown in a lump, some are human-beast-like, some are floating ghosts, and some are buildings that have become spirits in Xie Yunsui's cognition. In short, there are thousands of different postures, and each of them has good combat power.
Although Xie Yunsui wanted to be cautious, he still inevitably got into many fights.
Fortunately, the skill of obtaining the memories of the defeated party was not lost, and Xie Yunsui also obtained a lot of information.
For example, the monsters' preferences, the types of games they are responsible for...
Through these, Xie Yunsui guessed that this should be an infinite flow level-breaking world, which monsters and players call the "destruction" world.
Here, there are 12 hours of daylight and 8 hours of darkness. A day is 20 hours, a week is 7 days, and a month is 30 days. It never changes.
All players are pulled into this world after death and gain life by completing levels in the game.
Life is calculated in the form of time, called "life hour". One life hour means one extra hour of life.
Life is what both players and monsters rely on for survival. Once you lose your life, you are gone forever. Legend has it that once you accumulate one million life, you can be resurrected in the original world (but monsters cannot).
Xie Yunsui wrote the two words "Mingshi" on the paper and circled them.
Life is a very illusory thing, unlike other worlds where food, skills, tools, etc. can be seen and touched, and knowledge can be gained by learning it.
Xie Yunsui is bound to the Wanjie Shop and travels through various worlds. Theoretically, he is an immortal, and life and time are dispensable to him.
After talking with four players today, I found out that the more life time you earn, the more you spend. Failure in many game tasks will deduct a lot of life time. Destroying the World requires you to enter at least one game every week. People who don't know how to play the game can't even survive for a month.
He met many monsters in the monster camp, but Xiaoxi was not among them, and none of the monsters remembered the existence of Xiaoxi.
So... Xiaoxi should be in the player camp, right?
He needs to save more lives to give to Xiaoxi.
-
"Welcome~"
The voice of Little Bee was heard downstairs, but he did not introduce himself. He must be a regular customer.
Xie Yunsui put down his pen and appeared in the trading hall on the first floor.
The visitor was a human-like doll about 1.8 meters tall, wearing an exquisite and intricate cake skirt with real small cakes placed on it. As she walked in, the room was immediately filled with the scent of sweet cream.
"Miss Cake." Xie Yunsui greeted with a smile: "What would you like to buy today?"
Miss Cake is the only monster he made friends with without having to fight him.
Xie Yunsui had just finished a rather strenuous fight and was squatting there eating to replenish his energy when the cake lady who smelled something suddenly appeared and said she wanted to buy a small cake from him.
It was the nature of the other monsters that if they saw something he had set their eyes on, they would rush over and grab it, and beat him if they couldn't get it. But Xie Yunsui was deeply impressed by this one person who was serious about buying something.
She likes all kinds of desserts and candies, and her favorite is cupcakes that can be displayed on clothes in all directions.
The game she was in was a cake shop, and it was said that the elimination rate was 60%, but Xie Yunsui had not had the chance to visit her shop yet.
"I want cupcakes and pine cone cookies." The cake lady's jaw cracked open, her mouth opening and closing as she spoke slowly but evenly, "Your passes are all gone."
Xie Yunsui said, "That's great! We just have another batch of passes ready, and they're 20% off this time."
The item Miss Cake wanted floated out from the upper layer of the galaxy belt, along with a dozen passes lined up in front of her.
"By the way, Miss Cake, I'd like to ask you for a favor." Xie Yunsui said as he accepted the order.
The cake lady slowly replaced all the small cakes on her body, threw the replaced cakes into her mouth, and swallowed the paper cups together: "What?"
"I'd like you to keep an eye out for a man with the character 'Xi' in his name. I don't know if he still remembers me. If you encounter such a person, please let me know."
Miss Cake's eyes slowly formed crescents: "He is your little cake?"
Miss Cake's love for cakes runs deep in her bones. If anyone hurts her cakes, she will attack and kill them. To her, cakes are life and love.
Xie Yunsui nodded with a smile: "Yes, I like him very much. If you meet him, please don't hurt him."
Miss Cake understood very well how it felt to have her beloved cake praised, so she nodded good-naturedly: "Okay."
After a pause, he added, "As long as he doesn't touch the little cake on me."
Xie Yunsui remained silent, and took the initiative to help the cake lady change the cake, and then tied the cupcake tightly to the cake skirt.
Miss Cake changed into new clothes, so of course she wanted to start a game to show off in front of the players.
The new players are in place and the cake shop welcomes new interns.
This group of new employees seemed very experienced, unlike the others who were struggling to adapt to the dungeon. It seemed as if they had been guided by a master behind the scenes, and they were walking on the safe line of the dungeon every inch.
Miss Cake was very confused. In order to ensure a 60% elimination rate, she simply took the initiative to scam people within the rules.
After being repeatedly scammed, the players couldn't sit still any longer.
"This is not what we agreed upon. The cake on her dress is not made of plastic at all!"
"This cake person doesn't just work in the kitchen, she'll come out and kill people indiscriminately! Run!"
"Damn! This cake is real! Don't touch it! It will melt if you touch it!"
"Don't be so stubborn. If you see the Cake Man, retreat! Save your life first."
…
"Lan Xi! Damn it! He cheated us! Let's settle the score with him!"
