◎Second round of elimination◎
The next day, Sang Mian was awakened by a knock on the door. She looked at the two people in the dormitory. Xia Qing was sleeping soundly, and Bai Tang had just woken up and was rubbing his eyes.
There was a constant knock on the door. Xia Qing covered her head with the quilt and muttered, "Mom, I'm going to sleep for a while."
Bai Tang stared blankly at the dormitory door: "Who is it, knocking on the door so early in the morning?"
"I don't know." Sang Mian glanced at his phone. It was only 6:30 in the morning! Even the missions were not released so early!
The only ones who knew where their dormitory was were Zhou Jianyi and Lin Qiu next door. Lin Qiu shouldn't be so bored, it must be Zhou Jianyi! Sang Mian reluctantly put on her shoes and went to open the door, muttering, "I want to see what's going on so early! If Zhou Jianyi can't tell me, he'll be in trouble!"
Sang Mian opened the door quickly, took a look outside, and then closed it again.
Bai Tang frowned: "What's wrong? What's outside?"
Sang Mian rubbed his eyes and said, "Maybe I saw it wrong. Let me look at it again."
This time she carefully opened the door a crack, and she found that what she had just seen was not an illusion. The door of their dormitory was already surrounded by people.
Bai Tang immediately got out of bed and looked through the crack in the door after seeing Sang Mian's reaction. She gasped, "Why are there so many players outside our dormitory?"
The two of them immediately blocked the door. The scene was too horrifying. Could it be that their dormitory had become a mission site?
Fortunately, the players outside were of high quality and did not force the door open. The two times Sang Mian opened the door, they looked at Sang Mian with friendly and sincere eyes.
After noticing that the people in the dormitory had woken up, a voice was heard outside.
"Good morning, President Sang!"
What a ghost! Sang Mian thought that if she wasn’t scared to death, she would be considered strong.
Bai Tang was a little lacking in confidence: "What are you doing here? Why are you standing in front of our dormitory so early in the morning? I'm warning you that this is a weird game, don't do anything excessive!"
"You misunderstood!" The voice outside the door said, "I heard that your dormitory has some healing skills, and we would like to ask her to help treat the wound on our face."
Sang Mian and Bai Tang looked at each other, and then they both looked at Xiao Qing who was sleeping soundly. Sang Mian sighed and said, "The news spread too fast! I helped Lin Qiu heal his facial injury yesterday, and so many people came to visit today?"
Bai Tang was very angry: "Lin Qiu is such a big mouth! If I had known this would happen, I would not have helped her."
Sang Mian patted the back of Bai Tang's hand soothingly, then said to the outside of the door: "Go back, we won't help you. We are not saints, so just give up on this idea!"
The voice outside the door sounded anxious, "We won't let you help us for nothing! We can pay you."
Sang Mian was speechless: "We don't need money, we don't need ghost money."
The voice outside the door was silent for a long time. After a while, he spoke: "What do you need? If we can afford it, please help us. Many people's faces have been infected and inflamed. If they are not treated in time, the consequences will be serious."
Bai Tang said, "Isn't there a medical clinic in the school?"
"We don't dare go there. It's full of weird things. We'll be discovered if we're not careful." The voice outside the door laughed bitterly, "We have no choice."
Sang Mian was a little shaken, Bai Tang winked at her, "Can we have whatever we want?"
"As long as we have."
Bai Tang: "We want a skill card!"
The people outside started to make a commotion, "You are taking advantage of the fire!"
"Your heart is too dark!"
Bai Tang said with reason: "Healing is already troublesome and time-consuming. After using it all, the whole person will be weak. So many of you need treatment, not to mention how much time and effort it will take. Isn't it worth it to use a skill card to treat all of you?"
As expected of a business woman, Sang Mian looked at Bai Tang with admiration. She is such a good business person!
"We need to discuss this." The man who spoke at the beginning interrupted the dissatisfied noise outside.
Bai Tang said indifferently: "It's up to you, but don't go past eight. We have to go out at eight."
Within five minutes, the discussion outside came to a conclusion: "We agree to exchange it for a skill card."
Sang Mian's eyes lit up, skill cards were very valuable, she didn't expect the group of people outside to agree, she didn't expect that they were really willing to exchange skill cards for treatment.
Bai Tang raised his head slightly: "Wake up Xiaoqing, she has been sleeping for a long time."
Sang Mian climbed onto Xia Qing's bed swiftly and lifted the quilt: "Xiao Qing, wake up! Don't sleep any more, it's time to get some life!"
"What?" Xia Qing closed his eyes and opened his mouth slightly, looking like he was lying in bed. "What kind of work? Didn't I get first place?"
Seeing that Xia Qing didn't respond, Sang Mian leaned close to Xia Qing's ear and whispered, "It's been a long time since I've eaten fresh human flesh. The tender skin of a little girl must be delicious... Hehehe, let me try it."
"Weird! Sister Sang, save me!" Xia Qing jumped up from the bed. She looked at Sang Mian in panic: "There is a weird thing in our dormitory! She wants to eat me."
Bai Tang burst out laughing, "You just realized it, come here quickly and I want to ask you something."
Xia Qing inspected the dormitory with lingering fear, but found that there was no trace of Wei Yi. Was it a dream? Or did Sang Mian drive Wei Yi away?
Sang Mian took Xiao Qing's hand and asked, "How many patients can your identity skill treat at one time?"
Xia Qing rubbed his messy hair and said, "I don't know. It depends on the injury. Minor injuries can be treated by many people, but major injuries cannot."
Bai Tang: "What about the injuries of other players in the beauty pageant yesterday?"
"The epidermal wound is very simple." Xia Qing asked puzzledly: "Why are you asking this?"
Bai Tang smiled slightly: "Okay Xiaoqing, now it's your turn to show off. We have made a deal with the players."
She told Xia Qing what had just happened. Xia Qing stared at her with round eyes: "When did you two agree on this? How come I didn't know about it?"
Sang Mian rolled his eyes speechlessly: "How could you possibly know when you sleep like a pig?"
Bai Tang said to the outside of the door: "Give me the skill card first."
The door opened a little and a card was stuffed in through the crack. After Bai Tang confirmed that it was a skill card, he opened the dormitory door completely.
"Come on, Xiaoqing! It's up to you."
Xia Qing sat on the bed and looked at the crowd outside the door and fell silent, "No! You didn't say there were so many people!"
The skill card had already been accepted, and it was impossible to go back on it. Xia Qing climbed down from the upper bunk with resentment and began to treat the players outside the door one by one. It took a full hour to finish them all.
After seeing off the guests, Xia Qing collapsed on the bed. She made a weak accusation: "Sister Sang, Sister Tangtang, I hate you!"
Bai Tang patted her head lovingly: "Xiao Qing, look how good you are! You earn a skill card every hour. There is no player better than you in the entire player hall."
Xia Qing was very pleased with the compliment. She hummed and said, "Show me what card it is."
Bai Tang handed the card to Xia Qing, "Replace the character card."
The name sounded novel, and Xia Qing looked at the introduction with great interest: "Replacement Task Card (You can designate a person to replace their body for three minutes)."
"The time is so short." Sang Mian said dissatisfiedly, "What can we do in such a short time?"
"Be content." Bai Tang said, "If the time is not short, they won't give us any."
That's right, they must have picked the most useless and crappy card for them, but this is a skill card, even the crappiest one is still very powerful.
Bai Tang smiled and stuffed the card into Xia Qing's pocket: "Keep it safe, this is the skill card you worked so hard to earn, don't lose it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sang Mian's cell phone rang. She took out her phone in confusion. In this copy, the phone was like a brick and could not contact people outside. They guessed that it must be related to the live broadcast, and they were afraid that the audience watching the live broadcast would reveal clues to the players.
The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number. Sang Mian hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button: "Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, this is Duojin Beibei Campus Online Loan, I am the general manager here, our platform has a three-month interest-free program for new users who borrow 100 million ghost money..."
Sang Mian hung up the phone with a dark face.
Bai Tang: "Who is it?"
Sang Mian: “It’s a nuisance call.”
Bai Tang's phone rang again. Bai Tang picked up the phone and listened for three seconds before simply hanging up the phone. "The harassing phone calls you're talking about are about loans, right?"
Sang Mian nodded: "Is it the one who called you just now?"
"Congratulations, you guessed it right." Bai Tang: "The next one won't be Xiaoqing, right?"
Speak of the devil, he appears. Xia Qing's phone rang as well. After answering it, it was still a harassing call about campus loans.
Sang Mian couldn't help but complain: "This kind of call actually came in, there really is no idiot who would lend money to me, right?"
It was exactly eight o'clock in the morning, and the system's voice rang in my head.
[Good morning, dear players! The colorful campus life has begun again! I hope players will greet a beautiful day with a brand new look! ]
[The second round of eliminations is about to begin. The content of the eliminations is - students who are deeply trapped in campus loans]
[Ma Le has fallen into the trap of campus loans for various reasons. Players are requested to help Ma Le get out of campus loans. If Ma Le is not helped out of campus loans before 5 pm, Ma Le will commit suicide (suicide is considered as passing the elimination round, and the cat will give priority to your room tonight)]
The three of them were stunned at the same time. Campus loan? The person who just called was also a campus loan.
Sang Mian read it carefully again: "Hmm... This elimination match is quite positive. Can we give Ma Le some psychological counseling?"
Bai Tang: "So, have any of us studied psychology?"
The atmosphere fell into silence, and Bai Tang laughed awkwardly: "It doesn't matter if we haven't learned it before, we can just improvise."
Xia Qing waved his fist and said, "If it doesn't work, we can just use force and tie Ma Le up so that he can't borrow money."
Her method received unanimous praise, but the new question was where was Ma Le?
Xia Qing combed her messy hair and said, "She must be at school."
Sang Mian propped up his chin and said, "Our mission is to help students get rid of campus loans. Do we really have to guess where our classmates are? That doesn't make sense."
So she opened the panel and made a request: "I want to know where Ma Le is now."
Xia Qing: "Sister Sang, how could the weird game tell you? He's been tricked to death."
[Why don’t you go to the computer classroom in Building A]
"Okay, thank you very much." She looked up at the two of them and said, "Ma Le is in the computer classroom."
Xia Qing: “?” The weird game has changed its nature? It actively tells players clues?
Although it was unbelievable, time was running out, so the three of them packed up and ran to Teaching Building A.
The computer classroom was at the innermost part of the third floor of the teaching building. The bell for class rang just as they entered the building.
Xia Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Should we go to class?"
Sang Mian thought for a while and asked, "Does taking computer classes count?"
There were many students sitting in the computer classroom, and it seemed that everyone was very interested in computers. Sang Mian and the other two first took a few glances through the glass.
Among all the people, who is Ma Le? In the end, the three of them fixed their eyes on a male student in the last row. There was no other reason. Everyone else's computer was full of study courses, but that student's computer screen was a web page with the four big characters "Duo Jin Bei Bei" standing out.
They had just received an online loan fraud call from Duojin Beibei in the morning, and the three of them remembered it better than anyone else.
Xia Qing narrowed his eyes and said, "He must be Ma Le. Let's go in now and tell him to stay away from online loans!"
Sang Mian pushed open the door of the computer classroom, and the teacher on the stage was startled. He pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Student is late and you are still so arrogant?"
Sang Mian gave him a cold look and said, "At most you can deduct my credits. Don't say anything else. Got it?"
As if frightened by Sang Mian's aura, the computer teacher said nothing and continued teaching with his head down.
Xia Qing commented silently: "A bit overbearing, like a domineering president."
Bai Tang: "Just missing that sentence, woman, you have successfully attracted my attention."
Sang Mian: “…”
"Okay, stop making trouble." She coughed twice and walked to the last row and sat on Ma Le's left. Bai Tang sat on Ma Le's right. Xia Qing squeezed to the front row in front of Ma Le. She turned the stool around and sat face to face with Ma Le.
"Are you borrowing a campus loan?" Sang Mian's tone was very calm. It is better to be friendly when encountering a problem student for the first time, otherwise what if you scare him?
Ma Le's eyes were fixed on the computer, and he turned a deaf ear to Sang Mian's words.
Bai Tang waved her hand in front of his eyes: "Can't you hear me? Is your hearing bad?"
Sang Mian tilted his head and looked into Ma Le's eyes: "Is this child possessed?"
The screen on the computer showed the estimated loan amount. Ma Le was very nervous and stared at the screen without blinking.
It was not until the estimated amount became 1 billion ghost money that Ma Le broke away from the tense atmosphere. He sighed and muttered: "Why is it only so little? What can such a small amount of money do?"
Ten billion ghost money is not a small amount of money for students in school. The three of them were shocked by Ma Le's tone.
"Ma Le, you can't keep borrowing." Sang Mian said in a louder voice, "Have you ever thought about what to do if you can't afford it?"
Ma Le didn't seem to notice that there was someone around him. He controlled the mouse and was about to click the loan button.
Bai Tang growled, "Xiao Qing unplugged his power cord."
Xia Qing's brain had never been so flexible. She found the power source of the computer as quickly as possible and unplugged it.
Ma Le's computer screen went black instantly. Only then did Ma Le notice that there were three people sitting next to him. His extremely honest face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He clenched his fists and his lips trembled with anger. Regardless of the teacher still on the podium, Ma Le stood up and stared at the three people with hatred.
"You unplugged my computer!" Ma Le grabbed Bai Tang's collar with one hand like a madman, and pinched Bai Tang's neck with the other hand, saying, "Why did you turn off my computer! Why did you turn off my computer! I was about to get the money!"
Bai Tang's pupils dilated instantly, and the pain in her neck made her realize that Ma Le was serious, because if the computer was turned off, he could really strangle her to death!
"You...wake up!" Bai Tang squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
Sang Mian pulled Ma Le's arm to make him let go, but she didn't expect that Ma Le, who was short, was very strong. Even she, who had purchased strength points, couldn't pull him. She shouted at Ma Le: "Don't be deceived by campus loans! Can you afford it? Have you ever thought about what you would do if the debt collectors come? Do you know how many people have been forced to jump off buildings and commit suicide because of campus loans!"
The computer teacher had stopped teaching long ago, and the students were no longer looking at their computers. All strange eyes were focused on Sang Mian and his group.
The strange thing is that the teacher did not stop Ma Le's behavior, and the classmates looked at Sang Mian and others with eyes of watching a good show, with no intention of trying to stop the fight.
Bai Tang felt like he was going to suffocate, but Ma Le didn't let go. When Sang Mian was about to take out the two-meter-long Green Dragon Crescent Blade, Ma Le suddenly let go.
The dim blue light of the computer shone on Ma Le's face, and Ma Le sat in front of the computer again with a dull look on his face.
Bai Tang's body went limp and he fell on the table, coughing violently. It was too crazy that there were students who would kill for campus loans.
Xia Qing's face turned pale with fear, her hand still on the plug: "I connected his computer to the power supply."
The three of them had only one thought in their minds: it was horrible for students to fall into campus loans.
Bai Tang took a long time to recover from the discomfort of suffocation. Seeing that there was no more talk, the other students in the class continued to listen to the class. Sang Mian glanced at the students and mouthed to the two of them: "It's forced."
Xia Qing nodded vigorously. Ma Le must be forced to do something. He is so crazy because of campus loans that there is no hope for him.
Sang Mian was about to take out the Green Dragon Crescent Blade from his backpack when the system notification sounded.
[It is detected that the player is about to make a violation! It is detected that the player is about to make a violation! ]
[Players are requested to use legal means to complete the knockout rounds! No violations are allowed in the knockout rounds! ]
【If you violate the rules, you will be responsible for the consequences! 】
Sang Mian: “?” Are you not going to force him? That’s too abnormal! What else can you do to deal with Ma Le? Ma Le is almost out of his mind, how can he listen to reason?
To put it bluntly, isn't it just making things difficult for players?
Bai Tang and Xia Qing looked at Sang Mian with doubtful eyes, and the meaning in their eyes was very clear: "Why don't you do it?"
Sang Mian looked unhappy, "No, it's against the rules."
Bai Tang and Xia Qing both saw confusion in each other's eyes, as well as recognition of the idiocy of the weird game.
"What the hell is this?" Xia Qing said unhappily, "What kind of elimination tournament is this? Just eliminate us directly."
As for helping Ma Le get rid of online loans, they might have to think of another way. Sang Mian waved to Bai Tang and Xia Qing, and the three of them swaggered out of the classroom.
"Sister Sang, now that we are out and joining him, what should we do if he has to take out a loan?" Xia Qing didn't understand Sang Mian's behavior. She kept looking back at the computer classroom behind her: "Ma Le will definitely take out a loan."
It was damp and cold in Building A. Sang Mian lowered her head and wondered how she could persuade Ma Le to get rid of her campus loan. Soft methods didn't work, and hard methods didn't work either. They had to think of other ways.
Can the problem be solved from the source? An idea suddenly flashed through Sang Mian's mind. If she could get into the inner circle of the campus loan company and defeat Ma Le from the inside, wouldn't he be unable to borrow money?
Sang Mian felt like she was a genius. She happened to have the contact information of a campus loan, so she excitedly took out her cell phone and called the unknown number that had come in the morning.
Bai Tang and Xia Qing were both confused. What had happened to Mian Mian that made her call suddenly? No one could be contacted here except for scam calls. She couldn't call Campus Loan, could she?
Xia Qing patted Sang Mian's shoulder and said, "Sister Sang, forget it. There will always be a way. Don't fall into depravity."
Bai Tang said in a steady voice: "Xiao Qing is right, Mian Mian, you put too much pressure on yourself. There must be a way to get a campus loan."
Sang Mian looked at the two of them strangely: "I don't feel any pressure. I'll call you later."
The phone rang twice and then was connected: "Hello! This is Duojin Beibei Campus Online Loan. I'm from the front desk and service center. Our platform is targeting new users..." There was an official product introduction on the other end of the phone. Sang Mian listened to him patiently and waited for a full minute before the other party finished introducing the campus loan.
Sang Mian's tone was full of expectation: "How much can you lend at most?"
Xia Qing: “!” Sister Sang wants a loan?
Although Bai Tang knew that Mianmian must have her own ideas, he still couldn't help but say, "Mianmian, be rational."
The man on the other side paused and answered in an official tone: "I need to evaluate your personal credit before I can give you the exact amount."
Sang Mian probed again: "Does it have to depend on credibility? Is there no other way?"
The man was silent for two seconds: "Can you accept other methods?"
Sang Mian: “Of course.”
The man said in an ambiguous tone: "If you want, it's not impossible to get naked and loaned. Little girl, have you heard of naked and loaned?"
Sang Mian covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Isn't it too bad? It's too private."
The man opposite chuckled and said, "How can we guarantee otherwise? What if you take the money and run away?"
Sang Mian pretended to be embarrassed and said shyly: "Brother, you are right, but it is too private. Can we meet to discuss the details?"
The other end of the phone fell into a dead silence, and the man said in a cold voice: "Little girl, it seems that you don't really want to do business with me."
The call was hung up. Sang Mian was shocked when she heard the busy tone on her phone. Are all the weirdos so smart nowadays? They could tell her intention with just one sentence?
No way! Her beautiful plan was ruined before it even started. Sang Mian was a little disappointed.
Bai Tang touched her head and said, "Mianmian, don't be sad. If you are short of money, we will give it to you, even if it means emptying our pockets."
Xia Qing hesitated for a long time and said, "Sister Sang, you are not going bankrupt, are you? Even if you are bankrupt, you can't take out a loan. Look at what happened to Ma Le when he took out a loan."
"..." Sang Mian: "You think too much, I just want to find out the details about campus loans."
Xia Qing let out a long sigh, "Sister Sang, you scared me to death! I thought you were possessed by Ma Le! I almost had to use my identity skills."
"Mianmian, why didn't you say so earlier?" Bai Tang pulled one of them towards the stairs. She stopped in the middle of the stairs and pointed at an advertisement on the wall and said, "These campus loans are too arrogant! Even the advertisements are posted openly."
What they didn't notice was that a pair of dark eyes in the darkness were staring at them closely.
After Sang Mian carefully read the campus loan advertisement, she found a surprising clue in it: Duojin Beibei campus loan was actually paid offline!
This means that Duojin Beibei's staff are at Xiyue University and are extremely free to provide loans to students at any time.
Sang Mian opened her cell phone and saw that it was a text message from Duojin Beibei's customer service. The general content of the message was that if she really wanted to borrow money, she should quickly send him the nude photos via text message.
It was impossible to send it, she was not stupid, so Sang Mian deleted the text message after taking a look at it.
"Didn't Ma Le just borrow money? If we follow him, can't we find Duojin Beibei's staff and report it to the school leaders, then the problem will be solved." Sang Mian spoke out his thoughts in one breath. Sometimes, passing the level is so simple and unpretentious.
Xia Qing suddenly realized: "Yes, just take all the Duojin Beibei campus loans in one fell swoop!"
Bai Tang thought about it and said, "It is indeed feasible! It is very simple. We just need to make a phone call to the school leaders."
They did what they said and turned around and went back to the computer classroom. Just as they took a step, a familiar voice called them.
