Infinite Secret House 38 It’s not a relationship…
Chen Yuan grabbed Zhou Baishuang's hand at the critical moment, and the two of them stepped on a black stone that could only accommodate one foot, barely standing in the lava.
The heat all around was about to swallow people up. If it weren't for the constant temperature props, they would have been steamed to death by now.
Zhou Baishuang's first words after surviving the ordeal were, "Luckily I got this extra item on Snowpiercer. It was worth it."
Chen Yuan didn't respond. He scanned the number of people in the arena and saw that they were visibly much smaller.
In the cliff race, those who fall off the cliff will really be killed.
In the lava arena, the lava can really burn people to death.
Moreover, the small number of footholds also provides many players with opportunities to take action.
Suddenly, his eyes fixed, and he said, "Host, there are 53 people left in the competition. We've already reached the goal of clearing the level, right?"
He had clearly been counting over and over before, but now he pretended to be dazzled and wiped his eyes: "Oh, it seems we're here."
The rubber man glared at Chen Yuan before speaking into the microphone, "Wow, I didn't expect the winners to be decided so quickly. You all have more potential than I thought."
"Okay then, I'll restore the court now."
He said he wanted to recover, but his hands and feet were very slow.
During the recovery period, another player couldn't hold on and fell into the lava with a wail.
Seeing that the remaining players were all strong and unable to be reduced any further, the rubber man finally restored the green and grassy field.
"There are 52 finalists in this stage. Let us congratulate all 52 players who have successfully advanced. The next stage competition will be held at the same time tomorrow morning."
"The voting channel is now open. Audience members outside the venue can continue to vote for their favorite contestants. Thank you for your support!"
A player suddenly interrupted the rubber man and asked, "We clearly agreed that 56 players would advance. You should have stopped the game when 56 players were reached. You're deliberately delaying the game!"
The rubber man immediately stood up on the chair, pointed at him and said, "You, you, you're talking nonsense! I just miscounted!"
"Ha! Wrong count? The production team! I'm reporting this host for being incompetent! Replace him!"
As soon as the two words "report" and "replace" were uttered, the rubber man's arrogance was definitely reduced.
It rolled its eyes and said, "I didn't count wrong. I just counted slowly. It's because you died so quickly that I had to count again and again. Oh, okay, okay, it was just an accidental mistake on my part. I'll count faster next time."
Another player said, "Whether it's a miscount or a mistake, it's all because of your poor skills. Who knows what tricks you'll pull in the next game? We clearly agreed on a certain number of players advancing, but you kept dragging it out until only one was left!"
"Will the production team just let it disrupt the competition? Will the audience outside agree?"
"Should we go off stage and decide the last person directly, so that this damn game ends early?"
The rubber man immediately panicked: "No, I swear, the next match is limited to 28 people advancing. I am sure it will be 28 people. As soon as the number of 28 is reached, I will stop the game immediately!"
…
The players walked towards the dormitory on the tenth floor, wary of each other.
They had just experienced a life-and-death final, and some players had their hands stained with the blood of their companions.
The friendly atmosphere before entering the stadium could no longer be maintained.
Before the first game, some of them agreed to help each other on the field and promised each other benefits after victory, but the content of the game far exceeded their expectations.
I didn't expect that once you die, you are really dead. The bright countdown of the remaining life above your head left an indelible mark in every player's heart.
No matter how much life time you have, if you fall off a cliff or fall into lava, it will instantly become 0.
And all players know that once they lose their lives, there is no possibility of returning to Star City.
At that critical moment, for the sake of one's own survival, alliances and interests are no longer important.
If someone wants to take away your spot, you have to deal with them first.
The most important thing is to stay alive.
Except for the members of the Homecoming Club who were still walking together, the other players kept their distance to a greater or lesser extent.
Several people looked at the players in the crowd with vicious expressions.
They came in this time with the Guixiang Club, knowing that the dungeon would be difficult, so they not only brought a guaranteed 100,000 lives, but also a lot of props. The props were supplied in bulk, and each person had a constant temperature prop, so they could easily face the heat of the magma.
Unexpectedly, I escaped the calculations of the competition, but I couldn't escape the human heart.
The injuries they suffered, to varying degrees, were all caused by attacks from other players.
Moreover, some players even wanted to take someone with them to be buried with them before they died. Three of their brothers were pulled into the lava.
Constant temperature props can ensure that the temperature of the entire body is maintained at 25° above the magma, but it cannot guarantee that the temperature can be maintained in magma of hundreds or thousands of degrees. The props will be so hot that they will smoke.
In short, just one game broke up the natural alliance between players.
Even the words that the rubber man uttered after being threatened, that only 28 people would advance to the next game, were trying to trip up the players.
Only 28 people advanced, and there was no mention of 52 people before they could go on stage.
If I reduce the number of players offline to 28, will I be able to win the second game without a fight?
The psychological pressure of the lava arena is still too great, and not everyone has the right props to restrain this environmental threat.
Rather than being attacked from all sides on the court, it is better to take the initiative offline.
Several players were already silently searching for their target in the crowd.
From today until tomorrow, there will not be a Christmas Eve.
-
After switching to the magma arena, the game ended faster than Xie Yunsui had imagined.
He saw the final winning players on the big screen, and Shen Yuan was indeed among them.
The tenth floor was bustling again, it seemed that the players had all returned.
He heard several players roar as they opened the door and saw the empty dormitories that had been swept through.
A hint of ambiguous embarrassment flashed across the faces of several people in Shenyuan Dormitory.
The players have all gone to the competition, and the only ones who will come to raid the dormitory are the monsters from the program team.
They could only roar and did not dare to confront the program team.
But Chen Yuan and the others knew that there was another person in the dormitory building...
Xie Yunsui saw Chen Yuan and the others come in. The first thing he did when he saw him was to quickly close the door. His guilty conscience was too obvious, so he said coldly: "What? Do you think I stole those people's props?"
Shen Yuan cleared his throat: "...No."
He hesitated!
Xie Yunsui narrowed his eyes and pointed under a bed, saying, "The culprit is here. If it weren't for me, your dormitory would have been cleared out. Besides, I've left you a big gift."
He stepped aside, revealing the silkworm pupae on the bed.
Shen Yuan was silent for a while: "Who is he?"
Xie Yunsui had a look on his face that said, "Are you kidding me?" Xia Shi obediently said his name: "Hello, my name is Xia Shi."
Shen Yuan's eyes suddenly widened.
…
A moment later, all the members of the Homecoming Club crowded into this small dormitory, using three shielding props.
The members sat at the door to prevent any foolish person from rushing in.
Then, one by one, they stared at Xia Shi.
Xia Shi suddenly faced the gazes of so many players and felt a little dead.
Xie Yunsui was curious: "You've been looking for Xia Shi, but you don't even know what Xia Shi looks like?"
Chen Yuan said calmly, "The dungeon he appeared in was random. When the members found him, I went to the same dungeon again, but he was gone."
As fate would have it, Chen Yuan, who had been searching for Xia Shi for several years, had never actually seen what Xia Shi looked like.
Even though I heard the description of Xia Shi from the members, it was difficult to reconcile it with Xia Shi himself.
Xia Shi listened, feeling very puzzled, and whispered: "Why are you looking for me?"
Shen Yuan was a little hesitant.
Xie Yunsui checked the time and said, "President Shen, you promised me that you would tell me all the information. You're not going to continue delaying by saying you'll have to wait until the second game is over, are you?
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart. He just didn't know where to start.
He already knew that the dungeon stage was extremely dangerous and he might not be lucky enough to survive the next game.
There's no better opportunity than now to learn the truth.
He paused and asked Xia Shi a question first: "Xia Shi, have you noticed that there is something wrong with your boyfriend Yin Hui?"
"Ah? Ah?" Xia Shi suddenly sat up with a somersault: "What?"
Xia Shicai couldn't help blushing because Xie Yunsui mentioned Yin Hui. He finally calmed down, but when he heard these words, his face turned red and it felt like smoke was coming out of his head.
How come so many people know Yin Hui!!!
"What boyfriend? Haha, what are you talking about? He and I are not in a relationship. Don't talk nonsense. Hahaha, the weather is a little hot today. Haha, I feel like I'm dreaming..."
No one expected Xia Shi to react so strongly.
But why is it that he looks so guilty and breathless as if his secrets have been exposed?
Shen Yuan frowned: "Isn't he your boyfriend?"
Xia Shi: "How is that possible! Yin Hui and I are just ordinary, uh, ordinary friends with a good relationship."
Chen Yuan continued to frown: "How can ordinary friends live together? Buy flowers together, eat together, go to the amusement park together?"
Xia Shiyi firmly refuted them one by one: "He just lost his job and has no place to live, so he lives with me and eats with me. Of course, it's to save money. He bought flowers because he likes flowers and feels that they bring life and vitality. He went to the amusement park because he won two tickets to the amusement park! It would be a waste if he didn't go!"
After saying that, he angrily asked, "How do you know so much? Are you following us?"
Chen Yuan said, "You all went to dungeons. It's normal to see players in dungeons. Players are all escaping and killing each other, but you are just kissing and dating. How could I not pay attention to you?"
Xia Shi: “…”
Xia Shi said weakly: "... I'm in love without kissing me."
Xie Yunsui listened to a lot of gossip, and he held up his chin with interest and said, "Let's not talk about what they talked about. What are the names of these copies you mentioned? How come I have never seen them before?"
Chen Yuan said, "These are the notes left by the first few presidents of my Homecoming Association. The dungeon names mentioned in them are now inaccessible to any of them."
Xia Shi had something to say about this: "It's all because you players have been destroying things. You smashed up the flower shop, the restaurant, and even the amusement park."
Shen Yuan said calmly: "We just want to live."
If you want to survive, you have to dismantle the copy.
If you want to survive, you will pay special attention to the happiness that is out of place in the copy.
