Chapter 178 Dream Dice
Shi Yu glanced at the small ball of light.
The little ball of light was so scared that he almost revealed his true form: "This, this, this is none of my business! I didn't receive any notification about the revision of the rules!"
Shi Yu lowered his head and glanced at the envelope icon of the system message at the bottom of the information screen. It was quiet, with no unread red dot.
"Have you received any system notification?"
Ji Congyang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly opened the connecting passage, grabbed his sleeve and ran to the other side.
The scene before Shi Yu changed from darkness to colorful in an instant.
Ji Congyang pulled out his information screen, but before he could do anything, a phone call came in.
It’s Qiao Yan.
He looked at Shi Yu who also appeared in the candy house: "Your treasure chest was destroyed by the system?"
Ji Congyang's eyes widened: "You know?"
Qiao Yan was speechless: "Check your own system message."
Different from the quiet little envelope from Shi Yu, Ji Congyang's envelope had a little red notification dot on it from the beginning.
When you click on it, the newly added rules at the top are: the treasure chest obtained by the player is a personal property, and it is prohibited to transfer or give it away, and it is prohibited to let others help to open it, otherwise the treasure chest will be destroyed as a punishment.
Qiao Yan had already walked over through the passage: "I just saw this message, and I guessed that you would definitely find him to open the treasure chest first, so I immediately applied for a call. Now it seems that I am still a step too late."
Ji Congyang said nothing.
Qiao Yan turned around and said, "It's fine if he was so confused that he didn't see it, but how come you didn't see it either?"
Shi Yu: “I didn’t receive it.”
Qiao Yan was stunned for a second: "The system didn't send it to you? Did the program go crazy or did it do it on purpose?"
Shi Yu shook his head: "I don't know."
There was also a ball of light floating above the candy house, which was transformed from the administrator. It was like a giant eye, constantly monitoring the situation below.
Qiao Yan asked: "Do you think they will tell on the people in the temple and rush over immediately?"
"It's possible," Shi Yu said, "but it's not necessary."
"What do you mean?"
Shi Yu said in a matter-of-fact tone: "You can't use divine power in the player space. They can't beat me."
When Qiao Yan heard this, he was stunned and suddenly wanted to laugh.
He smoothed his lips and asked again, "Did you also see that the Pure White Space was cancelled?"
Shi Yu nodded.
That email not only talked about the revision of the rules for opening treasure chests, but also mentioned the changes in the start of the Shangjiutian game.
After the pure white space is cancelled, a notification will still be sent to each player's inbox before each game starts, which will include the name of the game and the main task.
Qiao Yan: "Do you think it's like moving the rules of the lower nine heavens to the upper nine heavens?"
Shi Yu finished reading the email: "Yes."
Qiao Yan also looked at the rule: "Is Shang Jiu Tian preparing to degenerate?"
Shi Yu: "Maybe it's evolving."
Qiao Yan was stunned.
"The lower nine days can directly send game information to players, but the upper nine days must first gather and then broadcast it uniformly. Obviously, the upper nine days process is more cumbersome and unnecessary."
Shi Yu said: "They have intensified their development of the divine realm."
Qiao Yan pondered the meaning of the word "development" and said, "Isn't the Divine Realm the territory of the Temple?"
Shi Yu looked at him.
"The temple wants to develop the divine domain, but they can't do it themselves, so they let the players do it?"
Qiao Yan seemed to have been enlightened by his words. The problem that he had been unable to figure out before was now clearer than ever before: "The Lower Nine Heavens is the periphery of the God's Domain, and it is easy to develop, so they can send the game information directly to the players' mailboxes in advance; but the Upper Nine Heavens is in the center and difficult to develop, so they have to drag the players into the player space, temporarily explore, temporarily give information, and then throw the players directly into the game?"
Shi Yu didn't say anything.
"Then why are they in such a hurry?" Qiao Yan still couldn't figure it out. "The center may be harder to develop than the periphery, but won't they spend more time? Why do they have to pull all the players into the pure white space? Why do they have to enter the dungeon without even having time to think after giving the information? Don't they know that this will not help the players pass the level at all?"
Shi Yu was silent for a few seconds: "Maybe the divine realm will expel outsiders."
Qiao Yan paused for a moment, then understood what he meant: "So the system must conduct a temporary exploration and throw the players in immediately after getting the information, because if it delays any further, the Divine Realm may expel the system and the players, and this instance will be useless?"
Shi Yu did not comment, opened the connecting channel and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, someone next to him suddenly said, "I'm sorry."
Shi Yu turned his head.
The hair on Ji Congyang's head drooped, and his eyes were slightly red. "I'm sorry."
Shi Yu listened: "What are you sorry for?"
"I broke your treasure chest." Ji Congyang pursed his lips, his voice slightly hoarse, and whispered, "If only I could have seen that system message earlier."
His companions had scolded him for being careless more than once before, but he never took it seriously, even though he had changed from a stable modern society to a divine realm where the supernatural was rampant. It was not that he had no self-awareness, but that he simply believed that it was God's will that he had not done anything evil and that he should not die, and that as long as his companions were around, nothing would happen to him. And his experience in the divine realm seemed to echo his point of view. He could find the highest-value lottery ticket, the paper roll with the most clues, and be assigned to the safest place at the beginning of the game. Even the people he worshipped could appear in front of him without him being prepared. His companions always mocked him for being carefree at such an old age, but he knew it was because he had always been smooth sailing.
But he never expected that the first time he reflected on how lucky he was, he would end up in such a situation because he missed a piece of information and destroyed a treasure chest.
Qiao Yan raised an eyebrow.
This idiot is probably used to being cheerful all the time, and it's actually very difficult to coax him when he's in a negative mood.
Shi Yu coaxed her, "It's okay."
Then he reached out and rubbed the other person's head twice.
Qiao Yan watched helplessly as the redness around the idiot's eyes disappeared completely and gathered on his ears.
After massaging, Shi Yu went back.
Ji Congyang stood there like a statue for a full half minute, then he jumped up with a start: "Old Qiao!"
Qiao Yan had a blank expression on his face.
Ji Congyang shook his head wildly: "My idol is so so so so good. Why is he so gentle? Woo woo woo..."
Qiao Yan didn't even bother to roll his eyes at him.
You call that pampering your fans?
The way he does that is clearly petting a dog.

"grown ups."
When Shi Yu returned to his own player space, the small ball of light had already revealed its true form.
The other party held the light screen in his arms and turned the front side over to show him: "I just asked the main system, and the main system only gave me this."
Shi Yu glanced down.
"The next system update will be in seven days." Xiao Guangtuan looked puzzled. "What does this mean? I was clearly asking why I didn't get a notification for this system update?"
Shi Yu opened his backpack again: "Let me give you a preview."
Little light group: “?”
"All the spatial channels between players should be opened, or a channel to the God Realm should be connected from here." Shi Yu said calmly, "The system goes against the will of heaven. It may be difficult to change the rules to this extent in one go, but it is not impossible to do it a few more times."
The small ball of light suddenly became quiet.
Shi Yu saw the item the system gave him after the last game ended, a rusty shovel, rated E.
fine.
He glanced at the sprouting potato in the storage compartment. This time he could grow some vegetables in the game since he had all the tools ready.
Shi Yu clicked on the remaining treasure chest.
[Prop name: A bag of soybeans]
[Prop Introduction: It is moldy and damp. Pigs will not eat it. It is recommended to throw it away]
[Item Rating: F]
He showed no expression as he put his things into the backpack compartment and closed the panel.
The little ball of light didn't say anything beside him.
As soon as the game started, a red dot appeared on the envelope icon:
[Instance name: Dream]
[Number of participants: 16 (all experienced players)]
[Main Mission: Sober]
[The game ends once a player completes the task]
Just as Shi Yu finished browsing the above content, two more lines of words appeared:
[The "Dreamland" game has begun, and you are about to be transferred. Please wait]
[My personal live broadcast room has been opened. I wish all players a happy game]
The little ball of light still didn't make a sound.
After a while, he suddenly had an idea: "Dream Choosing God!"
The small ball of light instantly returned to the apartment from the player space, and when he looked up, he met the gaze of Xuan Xing who was sitting on the sofa.
The other party smiled slightly: "Are you back?"
The little ball of light suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Xuan Xing asked, "Is it time for the next game, sir?"
Xiao Guangtuan replied modestly: "Yes."
"Your final exam is in a day, have you memorized everything you need to remember?"

【See what I got】
[I didn’t expect that I could catch the live broadcast]
[I've been waiting since this morning, and finally I've waited for you woooooooo]
[Ah, what kind of weird start is this? ]
The scene before my eyes was torn apart and reassembled.
When Shi Yu took the first look, he almost suspected that the system transmission had failed.
He was still in darkness, surrounded by thick fog, and couldn't see his hand in front of him.
Shi Yu lowered his head and found that the place under his feet was emitting a bright white light. When he touched it with his hand, it felt smooth as glass and square, like the floor tiles inlaid in the square, extending outward to an area of about one square meter.
There was black fog outside and nothing could be seen.
This is the entire range he can see.
There was no way out and no direction. He was the only one on the one-square-meter tile, and there were no other players in sight.
Shi Yu tried to extend his hand beyond the range of the floor tiles.
There was nothing outside, and when he looked down, he found that the area of the glowing floor tile was really only the size of the glowing area, and the edge was completely vertical without any protection.
[Raised stone platform? ]
【The only lighthouse on the sea? 】
[A regular hexahedron floating in the darkness? ]
Shi Yu sat down on the ground and probed the four sides of the glowing floor tiles. He found that three of them were vertical without any protection, while the other side actually extended upward to a height.
After going up a dozen centimeters, it becomes flat ground again.
Shi Yu's fingertips paused, then probed to the other side opposite to this one.
As expected, about ten centimeters below, there was also flat ground.
【Stairs?】
[Damn, it really is a staircase! ]
[This is a staircase! Stairs that go up forward and down backward!!]
Shi Yu determined the height between the steps of this staircase, but he still didn't know how deep the steps on both sides were. At least when he threw the puppet string all the way down, the end didn't touch the ground, and he couldn't measure how high the step he was on was.
The only thing that is certain is that if you fall from this height, there will probably be no body left.
Then what?
Take the stairs?
Up or down?
Shi Yu didn't think of the answer for the time being, nor did he try to leave the glowing floor tile and go to other steps. He just sat on the ground and began to daydream.
The comments were initially quite patient, some even competing to guess whether he was thinking about the directions of going up and down the stairs or studying the origin of the universe.
But as time passed, the other party still stayed there motionless, and finally some audience members became impatient.
[What on earth is he waiting for? Just wasting time like this? ]
[Isn't it normal for him to be a little more cautious now that he doesn't know any information? ]
[Speechless. It is because he knows nothing that he needs to move around more. Otherwise, will the clues fly to him just by sitting there? Why is he doing a live broadcast if he doesn't even have this much courage? ]
[Hot knowledge, once the players of Shangjiutian participate in the game, the system will automatically start live broadcasting for them, regardless of whether the players are willing or not. ]
Shi Yu was unaware of the grand event on the live broadcast and just stared at the ground quietly.
When I counted to the 360th second in my mind, there was a sudden noise coming from the direction down the stairs in the darkness.
Buzz buzz buzz, it sounded like a large group of wasps were rushing towards this side.
At the same time, a figure suddenly rushed towards him through the black fog, but when he stepped on the glowing floor tiles, he suddenly fell to his knees as if his strength was drained away, and his knees hit the ground with a "bang".
Shi Yu was caught off guard and subconsciously raised his hand to support the man's shoulder. He looked down and found that the man was wearing a player's wrist. A bee fell out from the folds of his sleeve and it was not known whether it was crushed or slapped to death.
The player's eyes were closed and he was no longer breathing.
The hum of the swarming bees disappeared.
Shi Yu laid the man's body flat on the ground. Before he had time to check, something floated out of the black mist where the man fell and floated quietly in front of his eyes.
The regular hexahedron is small and exquisite, with small red and blue circles engraved on the six sides.
Is this... a dice?
