Chapter 435 Gods' Game: Diamond Miner 3
Over the next half hour, Yu Xunge and Tu Lan struck the pickaxe nine more times, violating the rules 27 times in total.
The worst thing about this kind of violation is not what you were doing at the time, but what you did nothing at the time. The former can be figured out through reasoning and trial and error, but the latter is too broad.
However, Yu Xunge managed to discover a rule: the two of them must not touch the glowing gems on the tunnel walls...
Yu Xunge awkwardly withdrew his hand: "Haha, it really doesn't work. I just guessed and tried it out, but it didn't turn out to be true."
Tu Lan, who had received a violation notice and had 9 points of intelligence deducted, said expressionlessly, "...You tried to steal the diamond lamp as soon as you entered the mine. Don't think I didn't notice."
Yu Xunge: "You didn't stop it, so you're an accomplice."
The man and the dragon were shoving at each other in hushed tones while mining.
During this time, I violated the rules once by touching the precious ore with my hands, but the second time I touched it, I was fine.
Yu Xunge felt that he would be driven crazy by these inexplicable rules sooner or later. It was like walking in the dark at night. Every time he stumbled, he would inevitably feel fear and unease. But when he turned on the light, he found that they were all very ordinary and simple things.
During the mining process, they also encountered other players several times, forcing Yu Xunge and Tu Lan to stop and fight back.
Relying on [Midnight Exile] and [Absurd Story], and on the fighting confidence and courage built up in the KartRider game, as long as the opponent's combat power does not exceed level 10, Yu Xunge will stay and fight the opponent.
Three of the opponents were above level 12, and once they even encountered a level 15 Abyss-level opponent. Yu Xunge and Tu Lan retreated immediately, leaving the opponent to chase after the guiding light she had struck.
In the past, Yu Xunge wouldn't have understood this operation, but after obtaining the withered leaves of the Golden Tree, she understood.
In the game of Gods, the rankings are so much more important than an S-rank skill of a low-powered player that it's obvious which is more valuable.
When you can't find any clues in the game, killing low-level players for fun is fine, but when a treasure ore is right in front of you, it's naturally more important than a level 6 player.
The fourth time, Yu Xunge encountered a level 9 combatant. She and Tu Lan rolled up their sleeves and rushed over. According to their strategy, Yu Xunge was responsible for dealing with the opponent, while Tu Lan went to mine.
However, she discovered that if she couldn't win, she would retreat, and the other players weren't stupid either.
After her second attack directly reduced the opponent's health by 70%, the alien player used an escape skill and fled. Yu Xunge didn't even know where to chase after him.
The same thing happened the fifth time.
This made Yu Xunge realize that she was still lacking a sealing technique. The lightning cage wouldn't work; it was too slow. The best technique would be the kind of sealing technique that Feng Cang and Mi Ya Si had used on her before, which could silently seal off the movement and teleportation abilities of an entire area.
Before she knew it, she had switched from being on the defensive to being on the offensive. Before, she collected escape techniques, but from now on... she would have to collect both escape techniques and blocking techniques.
Yu Xunge didn't chase after her, but immediately went to find Tu Lan. When she arrived, Tu Lan had just dug out a black diamond the size of a ping-pong ball: "Is it against the rules to touch this?"
Tu Lan: "No."
She and Tulan used up all the durability of their two ordinary pickaxes, and their precious ore reserves were exactly 10. The pickaxes that had run out of durability turned to dust.
Tu Lan crouched on Yu Xunge's shoulder, looking around warily, and whispered, "This is all tunnels, there's no sign of a safe zone at all."
Yu Xunge flew to the top of the tunnel, looked around, and then stomped on the ground beneath his feet: "Either go up and take a look, or go down and take a look. These are the only two options left."
As she spoke, she struck at the ground beneath her feet, using the [Air Slash] to slice open the ground. A crack appeared in the surface, and instantly, as if a heavy iron door of a tavern had been pushed open in winter, a cacophony of laughter, shouts, and curses burst forth from the crack.
She and Tulan looked down through the crack and saw a bustling mining market below.
It has everything a bustling market should have: simple shops with a unique style but no connection to architectural art, various ethnic groups coming and going, and roadside stalls and food stalls set up casually...
The market was brightly lit, and the simple houses were adorned with sparkling jewels of all sizes, illuminating the market as if it were daytime.
Some of the foreigners inside could communicate directly in different languages, while others used sign language. Even though they couldn't understand each other, it was still very lively.
Yu Xunge listened intently, trying to discern and extract the language he could understand, and found that it was all very ordinary bargaining.
Without exception, the players in the market seemed oblivious to the cracks overhead, showing no interest whatsoever in even glancing up at them.
Each alien race had information above their heads, and they all seemed to be players. Yu Xunge recognized some of them; she had seen them in the KartRider game. However, she also saw some players who weren't on the leaderboard.
Tu Lan didn't dare to speak. In her mind, she asked Yu Xunge, "Is this a safe zone? Should we go in?"
Yu Xunge: "Of course."
The gap had begun to close, so she sent Tulan back to the pet space, while she herself transformed into a little spider and scurried down into the closing gap.
The moment she stepped through the gap, she heard a notification sound.
—【Welcome to the safe zone. Attacks are prohibited in the safe zone.】
She climbed along the ceiling of the underground market for a while, removed her disguise, released Tulan, and then the two of them flew in mid-air to search for the game stone tablets.
After flying for quite a while, we finally found the game stone tablet in a corner of the market.
[Games - Deceptive Games]:
This safe zone is a special commercial area and will not be converted into a war zone, but you cannot leave this safe zone until the game is over.
[Game Completion Requirements: You need to complete at least 5 unfair trades]
Whenever you lose too much money in a trade, one item/tool/curio will be randomly lost from your inventory.
[Every time you gain an unfair advantage in a trade, you will randomly acquire one of the many languages that you have not yet learned.]
[The highest rule of the commercial district: Everything can be traded]
The more unfair trades you engage in, the more valuable the blessing you receive when leaving the trading area.
Diamonds are not the only currency here.
[Friendly reminder: Beware of thieves]
[Current number of players in this safe zone: 1813]
After reading through all the game rules, Yu Xunge's forehead was practically creased with frown lines.
It wasn't just because the penalties for trading losses were too severe, but also because of her eighth rule of the game—no lying when negotiating with mineral buyers.
Hmm? Wait a minute.
Yu Xunge's eyes widened slightly. He couldn't lie to the mineral buyers, but it didn't say he couldn't lie to other players!
