Chapter 80 It's so easy to blush
"Hey, that Sun Cheng..." Wang Jia, who was wearing cleaning work clothes, came over mysteriously. "Actually, I don't know much about this guy. Before entering the dungeon, a big boss reminded me to be careful of this player. He said he is very good at acting. He can trick you into losing your pants just by standing in front of you."
"Really?" Zhao Guang's face turned pale, and his hand holding the wet mop was slightly stiff. He asked nervously, "What does it look like? You make me nervous."
"I don't know what he looks like, but I heard he looks like a pretty boy, weak and frail, not like a man," Wang Jia said with disgust, "He can deceive people like that. If a tall and majestic person stands in front of someone, the other person will immediately be alert."
Zhao Guang groaned for a long time, then clenched the mop awkwardly.
Wang Jia looked up at the burly Zhao Guang and consoled him, "I didn't say anything about you. Don't take it personally."
Zhao Guang nodded, then scratched his head: "I seem to have heard of this person..."
"real?"
"Yes," Zhao Guang recalled seriously, "but he seems to have changed his name. Now it's not Sun Cheng anymore. It seems that he has added the word 'Yuan'."
"Sun Chengyuan?"
“It seems so.”
"Who cares what he's called?" Wang Jia shrugged indifferently. "Just be wary of the pretty boy. It's because you and I have a good relationship. I never tell this information to others for free..."
"Wang Jia, have you finished cleaning? The director is still waiting for you!"
There was an irritable knock on the door. "Hurry up! You're so slow even when cleaning. Be careful or I'll send you to the lab!"
"It will be done soon!" Wang Jia howled, and then lowered his voice to curse beside Zhao Guang, "You keep urging me, it's so annoying, why don't you transfer this hateful NPC to the laboratory? The laboratory is full of experiments on living people, it's scary, I won't go there."
"But the director is not someone you can easily mess with. Why did the system choose to make me the chief cleaner? I am really impressed!"
Zhao Guang smiled helplessly: "Others can't get into the director's office even if they want to."
"Tsk, who cares."
Zhao Guang turned around and put the washed mop aside.
The footsteps outside the door became less frequent, so I guess the NPC has left.
Wang Jia stretched himself and continued the previous topic: "There's something even more frightening. The boss told me a little bit about the 'past' of that guy surnamed Sun. He said that guy was a jinx and a jinx. Wherever he was, he was the only one who survived in the end."
"It's okay once or twice, but if it happens so many times, don't you think it's weird? Why does he survive every time? Because he has a sissy face? How can it be so simple? Maybe he is the one who caused all those deaths..."
Zhao Guang pulled down his sleeves on both sides of his arms, his face pale: "It's too scary... Fortunately you reminded me."
"It's okay," Wang Jia said proudly as he walked ahead. "We are lucky. We were assigned to the neutral 'Research Institute' at the beginning. There are few players here, so we probably won't meet the guy named Sun."
"We just need to play the roles assigned to us by the system and avoid being discovered by those perverted NPCs."
The two men walked to the corner of the corridor, and Zhao Guang raised his head and stared at the surveillance camera.
The surveillance camera turned slowly to face Zhao Guang.
Wang Jia: "Those players who were assigned to the zoo are in a miserable situation..."
"Well!"
Before he could finish his words, he felt a sudden pain in the back of his neck and his vision suddenly went dark. Wang Jia didn't even have time to struggle before he fainted and fell to the ground.
Zhao Guang stood behind him expressionlessly, the short iron pipe previously hidden in his sleeve pressed against his palm, and the surveillance camera above his head was now showing a state of chaos.
After stuffing the man into a dusty warehouse and holding the name tag on Wang Jia in his hand, Zhao Guang took off a layer of disguise and revealed his true appearance.
"That man's name is Sun Yuancheng," he buttoned his collar and turned the lock on the warehouse door, "As for whether he was behind the group's annihilation..."
"I don't know." He raised his eyes slightly, looked at the surveillance camera in the corridor that had returned to normal, and then looked at the name tag on his left chest, and curled his lips slightly, "After all, I am Wang Jia now."
The NPC who had urged Wang Jia earlier came back and saw Wang Jia still lingering in the corridor. He immediately became angry again: "What are you still doing? The director asked you to clean up his office, didn't you hear me?"
Wang Jia immediately acted humble and acted like a grandson: "I'll go right away!"
…
On the other side, the zoo.
"What's wrong with him?" Qing Yi glanced impatiently at someone sitting in the corner with a sullen face. "So many people died, and he didn't want to think about what to do, but he even had time to sulk."
Yao Yuntao paused while flipping through the documents, forced a smile, and said nothing.
He Jianshan looked at the countdown of the "fifth round of alien beast attack" on the screen, and became more and more anxious. He couldn't help but curse again: "What kind of good-for-nothings are those five people? Why haven't they solved the main quest yet? Why did the system choose these five idiots!"
"That's right..." someone next to him echoed angrily, "You're already 17th on the standings, so you should be one of the five, unless five of the top 16 come at once... Of course, that's almost impossible..."
The "Snowstorm Villa" dungeon has always been a dual-line parallel operation. The system will select the top five players with the top comprehensive scores from the 300 players participating in the dungeon to form an independent team. This team is responsible for solving the main task, and then will come to the zoo to join the remaining 295 players.
He Jianshan's anger is not without reason. This setting has long been discussed by players for two reasons:
① Whether and when the main storyline is cracked will directly determine the situation of most players staying in the zoo.
If the main quest is solved, the number of strange beasts attacking the zoo will decrease for a period of time. If the main quest is not solved, or the team of 5 is wiped out, the zoo will be attacked by strange beasts from all directions.
"Snowstorm Villa" has always been ranked first in the list of "the copy with the highest probability of no survivors", which is closely related to this setting.
Those five people are so important. If there is no real big boss in the team or one person fails, all the players may die.
②The system does not simply look at points when selecting a 5-person team.
The system will consider potential, the possibility of successfully cracking the main line, actual ability and other aspects to select the theoretical "top five" players.
The system can make such judgments because it has a lot of information, while ordinary players can only guess the actual strength of players based on the "leaderboard rankings".
Therefore, embarrassing scenes often occur——
Among these five players, there will always be one or two who are not even in the top 100 of the leaderboard. If they successfully break through the main quest, it’s fine. If not…
"There must be some inside information. Everyone knows that if you solve the main storyline, you will get extra gold coins as a reward..."
"I've been tricked. The system picked people randomly. It would be better to let me go. The loop instance is so simple. Why does it take so long? I'm really impressed."
"That guy didn't have the guts to shoot himself in the end? Didn't he find the key to the loop? How stupid."
"Someone must have used some connections..." The person next to He Jianshan smiled slightly, "After all, the system has opened up various communication channels now. Maybe some players are colluding privately..."
He Jianshan's face became darker.
"But it's a good thing you're here, otherwise the previous attacks by strange beasts..."
"Enough!" This man's flattery just hit the horse's hoof. He Jianshan was really talking about something irrelevant. The attack of the strange beast was exactly what made He Jianshan most angry. "Shut up and get out!"
Qing Yi curled his lips in the corner.
Under the selection and command of He Jianshan, the player experienced a total of 5 confrontations with strange beasts.
The harder I try, the more unlucky I become. I failed all five times.
There are only 125 players left out of 295, and most of them are injured. It is estimated that they will all die in a few more rounds.
Death is also a good ending. Qing Yi's eyes dimmed.
“Knock, knock.”
There's someone knocking on the door.
"Director, the director of the institute is here."
Apart from Li Ziyue and the others, He Jianshan ranked the highest in points among the remaining players, so the system automatically identified him as the director of the zoo, responsible for leading the remaining players to fight against the strange beasts.
Players cannot fight against monsters directly and need to use gold coins to enhance their own abilities.
Players who already have special powers or weapons need to spend relatively fewer coins, but most players are unarmed and perform mediocrely in the "appetizer" segment. They basically rely on the process of elimination at the expense of the audience to find the safe house, and only get a reward of 2 to the power of zero (1) gold coin.
Based on this phenomenon, a neutral "Research Institute" was specially set up in the copy.
The Institute provides gold coins and weapons and demands corresponding compensation from the zoo.
Logically, the research institute is obviously beneficial to the players, but He Jianshan does not want to deal with the research institute any more.
He extended his hand with a fake smile and bowed slightly to the director: "Welcome."
The director glanced at him nonchalantly, his hands still at his sides, with no intention of shaking hands with him: "Where is the thing I want?"
What are you so arrogant about?
He Jianshan's face froze in the shadows, and the anger that he had suppressed before quietly rose again.
But his words were still respectful: "It has been installed, in the usual place."
He glanced at the woman standing next to the director without leaving a trace.
It has a snake body and human feet, and is wearing a white nurse uniform stained with human blood.
Her lips parted slightly, revealing the tip of her forked tongue.
Noticing He Jianshan's gaze, she turned her head and narrowed her eyes slightly.
He Jianshan has already gone somewhere else.
The reason why he didn't want to deal with these things was simple - although they were neutral, they were all zombies.
Despite this, he still had to maintain superficial harmony through transactions.
The strange beasts are already giving him a headache, and if zombies are added to the mix... the consequences will be disastrous, and it will truly be "no one survives."
The director hummed softly and went to the rear carriage to see the "goods" he wanted.
There was a raging snowstorm outside, and the cargo was a giant block of ice that had frozen a person in the middle. It was only held in place by chains, with ice fragments hanging on the black chains.
The director looked down and saw a layer of bubbles frozen in the ice just blocking the face of the person in the ice. He frowned slightly and said to the nurse beside him: "Cut this layer of ice."
"Director, when did you allow us to touch your things?" The nurse joked with a meaningful smile.
The director's face gradually turned cold and he looked down at her condescendingly.
"I can't do anything to you."
The nurse's heart trembled, and she said quickly: "Director, I..."
She hurriedly broke the ice, revealing the person in it.
The man's eyes were closed and his face was pale. The dark red blood that flowed out of his wounds spread over the surrounding ice. There were several glaring long scars on his chest and abdomen.
It’s [Li Ziyue].
"Oh, I've seen this man before," the nurse exclaimed, "he caused me and the doctor so much trouble."
The director did not say anything, but gestured for someone to bring the ice cubes to the car. Just as he took a step, he heard the nurse behind him remind him unintentionally.
"Director...are you only taking one human this time? This is not enough for us to eat. They dare not talk about you, Director, but they will definitely blame me, a poor little snake. Director, please help me..."
"Ten more humans."
She curled her eyes: "Thank you, Director~"
As the wind and snow grew stronger, the director's figure gradually disappeared on the other side.
The nurse stood there, waiting for a head count.
She held up her face with one hand, her eyes narrowed into a long, thin line: "Director... seems a little strange."
The snowy wind blew by, and no one saw a sharp scalpel appear out of thin air in her palm.
…
When Zhang Lian was teleported to the transfer station by the system to wait, Li Ziyue, who arrived first, had already leaned on the table and finished half of the test paper.
[I am dying of laughter. This dungeon has exhausted me so much that I don’t even have time to do my homework.]
[Others have completed the main quest and received rest time as a reward from the system: Great! Have a good sleep! ]
【Brother Li got some time to rest after being busy all the time: OK, start doing homework.】
[This can't be said to be a case of Brother Li going insane. If I remember correctly, Brother Li's winter vacation was only 7 days, but he had so much (gestures) homework, he really needed to seize every minute to finish it]
[No, we are all so tired, don’t we still have the options of “don’t do it”, “copy other people’s homework”, “let others do my homework for me”?]
【? ? How can this be possible! 】
[…Big brother in front, I remember you. You said before that I would pay to enter the “If I don’t study, I will die” internal test phase… I beg you big brothers to give me a heart that loves to study! (Kneeling)]
Li Ziyue was highlighting the key points in his English reading comprehension with a black pen.
[I'm not saying this, this "share vision with the anchor" feature is great, now all I can see is the English on Brother Li's paper]
[Choose C for question 19]
【Why do I think I should choose D】
[Indeed, we can directly rule out AB, but I am not sure whether to choose C or D. I think these two sentences mean the same thing.]
[I don't know whether Brother Li chose C or D]
Li Ziyue lived up to everyone's expectations and resolutely chose B.
[…? I love you (reward 100 points)]
[Brother is good in every way, except... (Pain Mask and reward 500 points)]
[Damn it, why didn’t I do physics today! I’m going to show you a super cool physics blitzkrieg]
Feeling Zhang Lian approaching, Li Ziyue stopped writing the questions and turned his gaze to ask: "Did you meet the doctor and nurse later?"
"No." Zhang Lian shook his head, realizing that Li Ziyue was talking about the fourth cycle.
Li Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief, put down his pen and test paper, and reached out with his free hand to the hem of Zhang Lian's shirt, lifting it up at an angle.
I didn’t see the long and thin scar on Zhang Lian’s abdomen in the last cycle.
The heart that had been hanging in the air was finally at ease, and Li Ziyue curled the corners of his lips lightly, revealing a faint smile.
Li Ziyue's smile was not very broad, but Zhang Lian could still see a faint dimple at the corner of his mouth.
He gently pulled the corner of Li Ziyue's clothes with his fingertips: "Brother, do you have a crush on me?"
Li Ziyue was shocked: "?!"
Zhang Lian looked serious, as if discussing some emotionless academic question: "Then why did you lift my clothes?"
"I wanted to see if you were hurt." Li Ziyue held his forehead with his hand.
"Are you concerned about me?"
Li Ziyue was stunned for half a second, then said hesitantly, "… barely, barely."
Zhang Lian said "Oh", and then asked again: "If you don't have a crush on me, why do you care about me?"
"You can't just be worried about your companions!" Li Ziyue's ears were red and he was about to explode. "You are my teammate in this dungeon!"
Zhang Lian remained calm: "But, brother, aren't you gay?"
Li Ziyue didn't even think about it and subconsciously retorted: "Where did I say I was..."
No, he actually told Zhang Lian that he was gay.
At that time Zhang Lian was still called Zhang San.
He got stuck in the middle of his speech and his momentum was gone, so he just listened to Zhang Lian debating with him.
"Okay." Zhang Lian seemed to chuckle, "If you were heterosexual, would you suddenly lift up a girl's shirt..."
"How can that be the same? That's just hooliganism!"
"So, brother, are you being rude to me? Why are you being rude to me? It's because..."
Li Ziyue covered the words "You like me" with his hand, turned his face away, and said through gritted teeth: "Zhang Lian, you are not allowed to speak."
If you can't argue, just ban it.
[Hahahaha, this is called "When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain his reason clearly"]
[When I was solving the main storyline, my thoughts were very clear, one after another, but why did I start to cheat in front of Zhang Lian? (Reward points 100)]
[Yueyue: People will talk about homosexuality for the rest of their lives. I should have stopped talking about it earlier.]
[I finally understood. Other people's logic is: use various conditions to deduce that XXX may like me, while Lianzi's logic is: it is known that XXX likes me, and the following inferences are all based on this known basis...]
[No wonder I can’t say it (damn it)]
Li Ziyue was just a head shorter than Zhang Lian, which allowed Zhang Lian to see the red tips of Li Ziyue's ears just by lowering his eyes slightly.
I blush so easily.
Zhang Lian blinked and shut up obediently.
Li Ziyue ignored him and continued doing his homework.
After a while, a small note was passed to my hand.
It says: Question 19 is wrong, choose C because...
Li Ziyue was about to speak when he heard a slight sound of objects colliding behind him. His eyes suddenly focused and his whole body tensed up.
