Daytime Horror
Ding Can wanted to throw out some ideas so that Chen Tang could put himself in his shoes and think about it.
Perhaps through some connection channels of ghosts, her subconscious mind hidden deep inside could be awakened.
Even if she only noticed something a little unusual, it might give her a better understanding of this strange world.
However, this method obviously did not achieve the effect she had hoped for.
Chen Tang really thought about it seriously, but he just replied: "That didn't happen."
"That might be because I tend to daydream a lot. I've been here for a long time. I'm going down first."
Ding Can treated it as an ordinary conversation, shrugged indifferently, nodded slightly to her, and went back to the first floor.
While they were chatting, the people downstairs were not content with the status quo and had a long discussion.
At least in addition to the few taskers, there were three more people who expressed their willingness to come out and help.
This means that eight people will go out, and it is not safe if the number of people is too dispersed, so they decided to split into two groups and search along the east and west sides of the villa first.
Everyone agreed not to go too far. If they visited ten households without any harvest, they would return along the same route to report their safety.
Then change direction to see if you can find traces of your cousin's footsteps.
"Then I'll trouble you all."
Several people walked towards the gate of the villa, and the assistant director was sincerely grateful.
After reminding everyone again to be careful, we were finally ready to set off.
The two groups parted ways on the path in front of the door. Ding Can walked forward and was about to tell the others the news he had just learned from Chen Tang, but he felt the phone in his pocket vibrate.
Ever since she entered the training camp, the only app she had on her mobile phone has been out of service, causing her to almost forget the existence of the electronic device.
I didn't expect there would be movement now.
She took out her cell phone and entered the desktop before slowly stopping. Sure enough, it was a message from the Daily Note.
The notebook-shaped icon has a small red dot on it.
After clicking it, the software interface is no longer a white screen, but becomes the appearance of a normal social software.
The bottom is divided into four modules: "Training, Shopping, Forum, and Mine".
The "Training" module is the homepage displayed after entering. In the top center, the words "Camp Entry Test" are displayed in large letters.
It is their current mission status.
The new message that popped up just now was a message called "Warm Reminder" below it:
[Train trainees to ensure personal safety within the buffer zone outside the villa and receive points as rewards]
Points rewards? This was something we hadn't seen before.
The rest of the people also received the same message at the same time, which happened after they left Fu Mingqiang's villa.
Although the scenes shot in front of the gate yesterday were shot outside the house, they did not leave the villa.
Only now has there been some progress.
Gao Wenwen stared at the phone screen, his eyes widening: "Look, we still have points and rankings."
In the "My" module, there is more detailed basic information about the training camp participants.
Ding Can looked at his own.
Student Name: Ding Can
No.: A03820
IP location: E-level location
Level: Lv.1
Points: 100
Overall ranking: 4217
Ding Can understood the number, which was the location of her room in the training camp building, room 820 on the eighth floor of area three.
As for the rankings, it was a bit unexpected. I didn't expect that there would be so many people at the same time.
When you click on the ranking position, a leaderboard will pop up. There are no names, but the student's number and points.
At a glance, only the top 100 people have accurate information displayed. The people after that are not displayed, just an ellipsis, and then their ranking is displayed.
Although the initial points of the four of them were all 100, perhaps because there were more people in the same segment, their rankings ranged from 3,000 to over 4,000.
There are so many students, and I don’t know whether they have been recruited since the establishment of this training camp, or they are just the same class as them this time.
Ding Can noticed that the person ranked first had a score of 2660 points.
No. C05618,
If they started from the same point, this person must be particularly adaptable to the current environment and be a powerful figure.
When most people may not even understand how to survive, they have already understood the rules.
There are many parts in the software that are worth studying. The most useful part for Ding Can at present is the rapidly updated information in the forum.
When I clicked into the forum, there were no updated posts except for a rules announcement at the top.
I tried to click on the post button and a prompt box popped up, indicating that I would have to return to the training camp before I would have the permission to post.
The information in the rules was complicated, and since he couldn't post anything right now, Ding Can didn't plan to read it carefully and went to study the shopping module.
There are many props with different attributes listed in it, and they all need to be purchased with points.
I swiped the screen and found that the items that could be purchased with 100 points were all very basic props.
In addition, Ding Can noticed the colorful words similar to advertisements floating on the side.
New member benefits: 100 points allow you to draw once and have a chance to get high-point props.
Friendly reminder: Be cautious when investing, there is no guarantee of return on investment.
The props obtained from the system must be different from the equipment they can find offline.
I don’t know what the use of ranking is, but it’s a waste to just keep the points anyway.
Ding Can became interested and asked a few people, "What props are you going to choose?"
As a nurse, Shi Yan always puts personal safety first. She feels that the small fruit knife found in the villa can be used as a self-defense tool when encountering danger.
Instead of hoping for unpredictable luck, she would rather feel that her destiny is in her own hands.
"I'll choose the healing item, it's safer."
After a brief search, she chose a pack of three strong Band-Aids that could instantly heal single wounds. It cost 80 points.
After successfully purchasing the item, she had an arm cuff-like device on her arm. After opening the zipper, she saw several Band-Aids inside.
Xia Jialian did not leave any room for himself. He used up all his points and chose attack props.
The mucus water balloon, when it has a certain attack power, the mucus that bursts after it bursts can slow down the movement of the attacked target.
Not only can it cause damage, but it can also buy time for your escape.
It is a single-use item.
He felt a pendant-sized balloon in his armband, and when he took it out, it grew rapidly into the shape of an ordinary water balloon.
Then put on the arm cuff and it will return to its original size.
Gao Wenwen was still wavering and asked Ding Can, "Sister Can, what do you think?"
"I'm going to try the lottery. Maybe I can get the halo of a newcomer."
Gao Wenwen was also eager to try: "I also want to see if I can draw some unique weapons. How about this, we both draw together and see who has better luck."
"good."
The two stood together and pressed the button to confirm the draw at the same time.
A golden egg appeared in the center of the screen. After shaking a few times, it cracked, emitting a golden light.
Ding Can looked at the icon that popped up and grew from small to large. It was a ceiling fan.
Only after clicking on the attribute description did she know its purpose.
[Prop Name: Small Stainless Steel Ceiling Fan]
[Effect of the prop: After use, the ceiling fan will fall from mid-air. The high-speed rotation of the fan can cause severe cuts, but the direction cannot be determined. Use with caution.]
[Item durability: depends on the degree of wear and tear]
Doesn't this mean that there is no security guarantee after turning it on? Besides, who knows how the system defines the degree of wear and tear? It won't be broken after just one use, right?
Ding Can twitched his lips and searched for this item on the original shopping page, only to find that it would cost 350 points to buy it.
It seems that I still made money.
I just don’t know what the actual effect is.
Gao Wenwen was lucky enough to get a glow stick.
[Colorful fluorescent sticks, a total of 10, after throwing them out, they can forcibly attract the enemy's attention for 30 seconds]
It is a useful auxiliary prop, especially when they are not clear about the danger they may face.
If you are being chased by a powerful enemy, these amounts accumulated together can give you at least five minutes of golden time.
Xia Jialian thought of something: "But, isn't it said that ghosts can't reach the villa, and it's safe? Then why does the system still remind us of such a task?"
"There may indeed be hidden dangers outside now." After Ding Can told everyone the news that he had just received from Chen Tang about the possibility of evil spirits running rampant, everyone finally understood the reason.
Gao Wenwen rubbed his head and said, "So now we not only need to find people, but also be on guard against the evil spirits that have never been caught."
"At least if we don't take the initiative to provoke them, the evil spirits shouldn't be interested in us."
Shi Yan checked again whether the fruit knife on her waist was securely worn, and was already prepared for the possibility of taking action soon.
She also tightened the old cloth that was tied around her palm to prevent scratches: "Anyway, the main task now is to find the missing person."
Without further delay, they continued walking a few meters forward and came across a typical Chinese garden.
Looking along the courtyard wall, you can see lush greenery. You can vaguely see a small bridge and flowing water deeper in the courtyard, with a light mist rising into the air.
There was also the sound of some sharp weapons colliding.
Following the sound, I saw a ghost bending over in front of the grass, trimming a grass ball with a pair of scissors.
At a glance, it already has the rudiments of a panda and does have some real abilities.
The fresh scent of broken grass wafted over, and the diligent ghost also noticed the few people standing on the road, and his eyes became even more shocked.
"Why are you outside? Are you human?"
I was so surprised that the ending was on the verge of breaking my voice, and my mouth became very round.
Gao Wenwen curled his lips: "Why do I feel like we are different?"
"Aren't we the odd ones out here?" Shi Yan continued and asked the ghost gentleman.
"Hello, our companion is lost here. Have you seen any strangers since last night?"
"Of course not. You are the only living people I have seen in recent days."
Mr. Ghost put down his tree shears and seemed worried. "You better hurry up and find someone. Staying here too long isn't a good idea. Didn't the host you're visiting warn you not to wander around?"
Shi Yan avoided the main point and said, "There were some twists and turns in the middle."
"We still have to find a trustworthy partner. If you need to rent a venue in the future, you can come to me. My home is No. 59, the Chinese Garden Mansion."
Originally it was to promote business, but they don’t have that intention now.
However, in order to get as much information as possible, it was not easy to refuse in person, so Ding Can just nodded: "Okay, I'll make a note of it."
"Did you hear any strange noises outside last night or early this morning?"
"I see that your pruning skills are exceptional. You must have put a lot of effort into it. This piece has been completed to this extent since this morning. It really shows your skill."
Hearing the pleasant words, Mr. Gui's eyes curled up unconsciously, and he waved his hand casually to show his modesty.
"No, even though I did graduate with a double degree in Landscape Architecture and Fine Arts, each piece of work requires constant experimentation from the design draft to the final stage. After working on the same thing for so many years, if I were still sloppy, that would be a problem."
He paused for a few seconds, then spoke again thoughtfully, "Come to think of it, I've always been a light sleeper. I did hear some noises before daybreak."
