Chapter 50 Transaction
The little robot was also playing a light tune. Occasionally, a few players could be seen touring the club or using the various projects set up by the club, but there were not many of them. When faced with Gu Qiufeng and Yu Chiang who came in, they did not show much interest. At most, they just glanced at them and then began to focus on their own things again with little interest.
But Gu Qiufeng still likes this atmosphere very much.
To be honest, the group of people outside were a little too fanatical, forcing some unrealistic ideas onto Gu Qiufeng.
However, Yu Chiang swiped a card when he entered. The club of the third guild is also very useful. Those who can enter the club are probably selected high-quality players. They don't have to linger in the dungeon. They have excellent skills, abundant points and even the support of the big guild's connections. Naturally, they don't need to pay too much attention to a newcomer who is just a little special.
The little robot took Gu Qiufeng and the other person up the escalator to the accompaniment of a cheerful tune. After turning several corners, it stopped in front of the closed door on the top floor.
"Come in."
A processed mechanical child's voice emanated muffledly from the robot's body, and a cheerful emoticon popped up on the light screen of the robot's huge head.
Yu Chiang slightly turned sideways, stood in front of Gu Qiufeng, and gently knocked on the door with the joint of his middle finger.
There was a hollowed-out section of the wall next to it, and a bronze lamp was placed on it.
After Yu Chiang knocked on the door three times, the candle in the lamp jumped noticeably.
The door clicked and was opened from the inside.
However, after the door opened, Gu Qiufeng did not see anyone.
A vine emitting faint fluorescence swayed twice in front of Gu Qiufeng, then shrank into the room.
Gu Qiufeng and Yu Chiang looked at each other and understood that this meant for them to go inside.
The little robot went into standby mode, so the two of them stopped paying attention to it and focused on the retreating vines, following it into another door.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Qiufeng saw a narrow, dark corridor covered with colorful patterns.
It's a bit like a kaleidoscope, and they're in the middle of it.
The vines led them to the left end of the corridor, where the door was half open and the little guy slipped in at the door.
Gu Qiufeng raised his eyebrows.
It turns out that Miss Duan Chouyu is also a dual-skill player.
"Please come in." A cold voice sounded from the half-closed house. "I'm sorry, I'm not able to move around very well right now, so I have to meet you this way."
Gu Qiufeng replied naturally, "No, it's us who are bothering Vice President Duan."
However, when he entered the room, the scene before him was slightly beyond his expectations.
No wonder Yu Chiang asked him to be mentally prepared when he was downstairs just now.
They saw a woman with long black hair covered with a white veil, her whole body bound by the vines that had just led them. Upon closer inspection, they found that her body seemed to have been penetrated by the vines, forming some strange symbiotic form with the tree behind her.
"Sorry, I scared you." Before Gu Qiufeng spoke, Duan Chouyu said calmly, "This is my healing skill, please forgive me."
As she spoke, the big tree behind her began to grow branches and leaves, and gradually fruits began to grow.
"I thought Miss Duan..." Yu Chi'ang said, "I'm sorry to bother you. But I just have too many questions about that 48h copy."
Duan Chouyu smiled and said, "I knew you would come. Everything I did was to make you come to me."
Although she was blindfolded, she still turned her face to Gu Qiufeng accurately: "Mr. Gu, is your left eye better?"
Gu Qiufeng said: "I saw some things I shouldn't have seen, and I may still feel pain for a while."
Duan Chouyu sighed and said, "I wish you a speedy recovery."
Yu Chiang asked again: "Miss Duan, can't you predict the future condition of senior...Mr. Gu's eyes?"
Duan Chouyu said helplessly: "My skills are not as outrageous as the rumors say. They are very limited. Rather than saying that I can see the future, it is better to say that I can only see some possibilities."
"Then you shouldn't induce seniors to take risks." Yu Chiang said unhappily.
Duan Chouyu said: "I'm sorry, I was too reckless. It's just that time is urgent and the possibility of the future is very slim. I must make a decision as soon as possible."
"I can not hold you accountable for the left eye matter for now." Gu Qiufeng said, "Miss Duan, although I know that you masters don't like to reveal too many secrets when you talk. But unfortunately, I hate riddlers the most in my life. If you want to reach a cooperation with us for something, first of all, you have to show sincerity, sincerity that makes me move."
"Businessmen don't do anything without profit. Miss Duan, please name your price."
Duan Chouyu seemed to have not expected that Gu Qiufeng would have the final say in an instant. She was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What do you want me to do?"
Gu Qiufeng had heard before that this young lady prophet had a kind personality, but he didn't expect that she would be so easy to fool.
He immediately said, "Ms. Duan, you were previously at the A City Protection Center. I want to know what the connection is between "Fatal Fall" and reality?"
Why did he see Xie Xin from half a year ago appearing in a place where he shouldn’t be in the game copy?
Why was he seriously injured by the image projected by Xie Xin in the copy?
The A city authorities concealed too much information, and ordinary people thought that their lives were peaceful. However, judging from the 48h copy, it was because the real Yucheng University was the first to suffer that a copy based on Yucheng University was generated in the game.
So, in reality, what are they experiencing without the knowledge of ordinary people like them?
As the words fell, the whole room suddenly became quiet, with only the rustling sound of branches rubbing against each other behind Duan Chouyu.
After a while, Duan Chouyu reached out and caught the ripe fruit that fell from the tree, slowly threw it to the ground, and then said slowly: "I'm sorry if I have to ask this."
"I don't have any memories or emotions in reality."
Gu Qiufeng's pupils shrank slightly.

"You sent people to follow me for so long." Xie Xin stirred the coffee in his hand nonchalantly, raised his eyes to look at the young man opposite, and curled his lips with sarcasm, "I am a celebrity. If I am not sensitive to this, I would have died in the hands of paparazzi and illegitimate fans long ago."
"Tell me, Captain Duan, what's the matter with asking me out all of a sudden?"
Even though his not-so-glorious behavior these days was exposed, Duan Jiangli's face remained calm, as if the things Xie Xin mentioned had nothing to do with him. -
But soon, the young man took out a document from his briefcase and said, "Please sign."
Xie Xin's eyes were filled with indifference, as if he was looking at a fool: "Duan Jiangli, how can I dare to sign if you don't tell me what this is?"
"Why are you in such a hurry, Mr. Xie. I'm an official, it's impossible for me to murder you. Or do you think that our A City officials have no credibility at all?" Duan Jiangli shrugged innocently.
Xie Xin sneered, "Snakes and rats belong to the same nest."
"...Hey, is it really okay to curse so bluntly in front of the officials? And you even cursed me too." Duan Jiangli said helplessly, "You kid, if you have some ability, I admit defeat. I sent people to monitor you for so many days, but they couldn't find any loopholes in you."
He initially became suspicious of Xie Xin because of his intuition.
But after investigating for more than half a month, we still couldn't find out the truth.
Either his intuition was wrong, and Xie Xin was just an actor who paid his taxes and had nothing to do with the origin, or Xie Xin was just too good at pretending, and he hadn't let any flaws slip in all these days.
Duan Jiangli tends to be the latter.
"So you're going to stop pretending and just put me under your nose?" Xie Xin read out the title of the document, "Application for joining the team?"
Duan Jiangli said, "Please sign. Don't make me bother forcing you to sign."
"Nothing good, nothing good. Please give me a reason to sign, Captain Duan." Xie Xin said, "Otherwise you will look like a bully who robbed women in the old society."
Duan Jiangli hesitated for a moment, then said, "Of course."
"We have investigated the surveillance footage before Gu Qiufeng disappeared. I know this agent is very important to you." Duan Jiangli said, "If you sign this application form and become a member of the team, you will have the right to view the surveillance footage and conduct an in-depth investigation."
Xie Xin's expression became noticeably tense.

"I'm a spiritual player. You can tell from my skills." Duan Chouyu explained, "So, any spiritual pollution from Origin X or even the dungeon will affect me. And my predictions cannot be interfered with in any way. Once a wrong prediction comes out, it is very likely... that I will do something wrong to let down humanity."
"So, I awakened my second skill. This is my emotion tree. I extracted my memories and emotions through the vines and stored them in fruits." Duan Chouyu said, "I have no memories, no emotions, I will become an inhuman existence, I will be indestructible, and no longer afraid of Origin X's interference with me."
Her fingers gently stroked the vines beside her: "Every time before and after using the prophecy, before and after entering the dungeon, I will strip away the emotional memory. If necessary, I will absorb the fruit into my body again."
"I'm sorry." Gu Qiufeng said, "Then I'll change the conditions."
"When Miss Duan is ready to use her prophecy skill next time, I hope she can tell me something I want to know." Gu Qiufeng said gently, "Do you think this deal is okay, Miss Duan?"
Duan Chouyu nodded: "Mr. Gu, if you need any help in the future, you can also come to me. I will do my best to help Mr. Gu. This time I owe you."
"I would like to ask Mr. Gu to team up with me to enter the dungeon next time."
"Which copy?" Yu Chi'ang asked, "I want to go in with you, too."
Duan Chouyu said softly: "A new copy will appear tomorrow."
"The name is - "Hanajuan"."
