Chapter 87



Q: How can we maintain optimal accommodation security when all houses look the same and are moved from time to time?

Wangwangxiannan's answer: Sleep on the street. Of course, he can sleep in his own little snail shell.

However, whether you can sleep on the street still requires asking whether the weirdness in the City of Secrets allows it. So when the captain of the long-thorn guard at the city gate was still worried about whether a wanted criminal would cause trouble, the wanted criminal came back on his own.

The long thorns were strange and looked like they were facing a great enemy: "You, you, you human, what do you want to do now?"

Wu Xiangwang curled his lips and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm not trying to cause trouble. I just came to ask a question."

The long thorn was strangely skeptical: "What did you say?"

Wu Xiangwang flashed his most perfect fake smile: "There are too many ugly houses here. Not a single one meets my taste. If I don't want to live in a house, can I sleep on the street?"

The weird captain with long thorns: “????”

"You're sleeping on the street instead of living in a nice house. Do you have some weird hobbies?"

"If you really want to sleep on the street, we don't have any rules against it. However, there are a lot of monsters that come out at night in the City of Secrets. If you're not afraid of being eaten by wandering monsters, then you can sleep wherever you want."

At the end of his words, the strange man with long thorns had a fierce look in his eyes, and the spikes on his back and body began to tremble with excitement.

If this trouble-making human insists on sleeping outside, he will put on a mask and wander around tonight, trying to kill this human without anyone noticing!

On the surface, the guards can't kill people, but isn't it okay as long as they cover their faces?

Wu Xiangwang noticed the strange little eyes that suddenly became excited and fierce, and could easily guess what he was up to.

But this guy will be disappointed. Even if he really sleeps on the street, he will sleep on the street with his own house and high-end mattress.

When Wu Xiangwang asked the question, many human adventurers around him also heard it. This was mainly because Wu Xiangwang had attracted a lot of attention because of the emphasis he had received on being reminded by the captain of the guard.

This attention made many adventurers hear the key points. So after the captain of the Longthorn Guard finished his shift at night, he saw a circle of tents, carts and bedding rolls surrounding the city gate mission board. The most eye-catching one was the small, shell-like hut that appeared out of nowhere in the front and was incompatible with the style of the City of Secrets.

The captain of the long-thorn guard: "..."

He felt like he was having trouble breathing, and he didn't know there was a word called "terrible" that was very suitable to describe his current mood.

Just at this moment, the door of the snail shell hut was opened. Wu Xiangwang, who was holding a glass of cranberry milk, saw Him, raised his glass and smiled at Him.

"Captain, are you off duty?"

The captain of the long-thorned guards looked accusingly at him, "Didn't you say you wouldn't cause trouble?"

Wu Xiangwang felt as innocent as a white lotus: "Of course I didn't do anything wrong! I asked if I could sleep on the street, and you said yes. I just happen to have a particularly fancy portable mat, so why can't I use it?"

"As for the people around me, that's none of my business."

The captain of the long-thorn guard took a deep breath, then turned around and walked away cursing.

Damn, how can so many people come here at night to cause trouble? If one fails, they will be attacked by the humans. Double A wanted criminals are really annoying!

When the hundreds of human adventurers stationed together saw that the strange guards really did not do or say anything and actually left, they all showed expressions of irrepressible joy on their faces.

Many of them carefully inquired about the relevant information about the City of Secret Chambers, and the most obvious problem raised by everyone was the accommodation issue.

Because all the houses and streets in the City of Secret Chambers are exactly the same and change from time to time, it becomes very difficult to find your own rest house once you go out.

The doors of those houses closed automatically. Even if one wanted to open the door or block it with something, it was impossible. Also, because the City of Time was composed entirely of square houses and streets without even a square, few people could think of sleeping on the floor.

Of course, it cannot be said that there are no such people. It’s just that those people are either high-level adventurers with well-defended tents or own RVs. It is the first time that such a large number of lower-level adventurers have gathered together to sleep on the ground.

Then everyone discovered the benefits of living together.

So the first lunch after arriving in the City of Secret Chambers was very lively and friendly.

The snail shell hut where Wu Xiangwang and his team lived was the one that received the most knocks on the door and the most food donations.

After all, no matter how you look at it, this gorgeous house that looks like a conch exudes a sense of specialness from beginning to end.

It looks very sturdy and valuable.

Of course, Wu Xiangwang and his men also sent back food of equal value or even more. Shang Chong, the talkative Hao Youjin, and Meng Chang, who was very good at gathering information, also got a lot of information about other cities and customs clearance techniques.

However, this atmosphere of love and affection only lasted until the end of lunch, because after lunch, all the challengers who slept on the ground at the city gate witnessed a random change in the secret room city.

Those identical square houses in the city began to move up and down, left and right like blocks in a Rubik's Cube. Although it was an extremely heavy, huge city like steel, these houses moved almost silently.

It was like a lot of square snakes spinning quickly in that limited box.

It took only three minutes to move from the beginning to the end of the house, but no one present, not even Wang Xiao, who had excellent observation and memory, could say that he had completely remembered the changes in the house and could find the same street-facing house as before.

"...Oh my god. This is too...too scary, isn't it?"

"Luckily we slept on the floor near the city gate, otherwise I might not be able to find the lounge now."

Then they have to keep pushing open the door they think may be the right one and enter an unknown secret room.

"But we can't just stay here and sleep on the floor forever," someone said with a wry smile. "We have to get to the exit, complete quests to find keys, and search the secret rooms for supplies."

Now they know nothing about all the secret rooms in the City of Secret Rooms, but even so they still have to take the initiative to push open the doors of different secret rooms.

Some even don't require any initiative, the door will automatically come to you -

Several male adventurers who couldn't find a toilet and were embarrassed to solve the problem in a place where everyone gathered originally went to a street corner near the city gate to solve the problem, but when they were halfway through solving the problem, the City of Secret Rooms began to move.

They were stiff and dared not move while the secret room was moving. But after the secret room was moved, they were shocked to find that their left and right sides were blocked by four secret rooms. If they wanted to leave, they had to push open one of the four doors that moved in front of them, otherwise they might be trapped here forever.

"Fuck! I just came out to pee and this happened!"

"This is such bad luck! What do I do now? Open the door?"

"Open it! Who knows what these houses will do next time? Will they squeeze us out of the place we're standing in? Anyway, we all have to go through the secret room to find the key in the end. Let's go! Let's open the door together and enter the same secret room. I don't believe we can't get through!"

So these adventurers who went to the toilet together chose the door on the north side, pushed it open, and then entered.

At this time, Wu Xiangwang and his friends also chose a door on the main street and decided to enter together as a group of fourteen.

Of course, they remembered what Doji and Songzan said. Even if they had the same door, they would not necessarily be assigned to the same secret room. The team's strength and experience in breaking through the levels were weakened to the lowest level in the City of Secret Rooms.

But Doji and Songzan didn't figure out the basis for allocating participants in the secret room. However, when Wu Xiangwang stepped into the door of the secret room, he felt as if he had passed through an energy barrier, and this energy barrier gave him the feeling... that it seemed a little... damp?

This feeling lasted only a moment, and Wu Xiangwang fell into a room the next second. Then his first reaction was that his shoes were wet.

Wu Xiangwang lowered his head and saw the water covering his shoes.

"Damn it! Why am I the only one here? The four of us opened the door together and entered!"

A burly but somewhat irritable man came in and started cursing on the spot.

Wu Xiangwang looked up when he heard the voice, then turned to look in other directions of the room. After seeing two familiar figures, he twitched his lips and suddenly felt that he seemed to know how the secret room was divided into groups.

All fourteen of them entered through the same door, and he happened to be grouped with the two most unlucky and problematic ones.

That’s right, the other two familiar faces in this room are Wu Xingyun and Lin Yuan.

God knows how complicated Wu Xiangwang felt after seeing the two of them.

How unlucky must the people in this room be to be grouped with moldy mushrooms and disguised dummies.

He clearly remembers his luck, so it's still okay, right?

"In the City of Secret Chambers, you can't just enter the same secret chamber by entering the same door! If it were that simple, why not find a dozen adventurers with different abilities to form a team and enter together? Wouldn't that greatly increase the efficiency of clearing the secret chambers?"

"You can do this when playing games, but this secret room is not a game!"

The person who spoke was a young man who looked a little arrogant.

He was about to say something else when the woman with a high ponytail next to him interrupted him: "Stop talking nonsense! Haven't you noticed that the water beneath our feet is rising little by little?! The entire room is sealed, and there are only a few exits at the top! Why don't you hurry and find the key? Or a clue!"

"Even if you're a person with superpowers, how long can you hold your breath underwater?!"

After hearing what the woman with a high ponytail said, the young man and the big man also shut up and kept silent, but the other female adventurer who was wearing clothes and glasses showed a slightly relieved expression on her face at this time.

She is a koi superpower. Not only can she increase the luck of herself and her teammates, but she can also breathe in water like a koi. This secret room that is obviously related to water is beneficial to her!

But she was smart enough not to say it at this time. The key ability should be used at the critical moment. She relied on it to overcome several crises.

So the female adventurer with high ponytail, the female adventurer with glasses, the arrogant young man and the strong man started looking for a way out above their heads together with Wu Xiangwang and the other three.

Wu Xingyun immediately ran to Wu Xiangwang with a feeling of excitement and relief. Being able to see Wangwang’s father in the secret room, Wu Xingyun felt that his luck had indeed begun to turn around!

And there is Linyuan! Linyuan has super big breasts!

"Wangwang Dad!"

Wu Xiangwang stretched out his hand and made a stop gesture: "We can talk later. You can't breathe underwater, find a way out first."

Wu Xingyun nodded immediately.

Wu Xiangwang carefully observed this enclosed house that looked like a black stone fortress. Both the ground under their feet and the surrounding walls were very smooth and hard, and even those with special powers would find it difficult to destroy them.

At the top of this house, you can see three lighted glass doors with keyholes. Obviously, after finding the key, you can exit from the top exit.

But there are three glass doors, so you need to find three keys. Even after finding the keys, you still have to determine which glass door is the real exit, and you must not choose the wrong one.

With the water rising inside the house, it was time to hurry.

"This room looks like a long coffin without any furniture at all. Where can I hide the key?!" The strong man fiddled in the water for a while and lost his patience before slapping the water hard.

In just a minute or two, the water in the room had risen to Wu Xiangwang's knees.

"Instead of complaining, you might as well look for the key! If you have extra energy and nowhere to use it, just try hitting the wall! You might be able to hammer out a key!" The arrogant young man complained about the burly man while carefully feeling the wall for a different place.

At this time, Wu Xiangwang was also groping for the wall. In this completely enclosed space, he was either in the water or in the wall.

Then, Wu Xiangwang made the sound almost one after the other with the arrogant young man.

"Um?"

"Hurry up, whoever's strong enough comes and smashes this brick! This brick is different!!"

The strong man ran over there immediately when he heard the sound, then raised his fist and slammed it against the wall.

"How come these damn walls are so hard?! At the rate the water is rising, I can only knock down one brick at most!"

The burly man's words made the long-haired woman who was groping for the key in the water, the girl with glasses, and Wu Xingyun all nervous.

The long-haired woman also noticed that Wu Xiangwang seemed to have discovered the bricks that might contain the key.

But it was obvious that this thin young man was not a power-type mutant, and the water had already reached his waist, and he would soon be powerless against the brick in front of him!

The ponytailed woman thought about her jumping ability and decided to try using jumping to increase her strength.

She had already made up her mind to break her hand bones, and was about to walk towards Wu Xiangwang with a determined look on her face, when she saw the tall and thin young man stretch out his white and weak fist and punch the hard brick.

The ponytailed woman hadn't even screamed yet when she saw the hard brick that the strength-type brute said would take him at least three minutes to break was smashed into pieces by the young man with one punch.

Then the young man reached into the bricks and pulled out a small key.

The ponytailed woman: "..."

Either the big guy is wrong, or the brick is wrong, anyway, one of them is wrong!!!
