Chapter 154 Screaming Game Hall
As soon as the prince appeared, Qiao Song knew that he was running out of time.
The plot of choosing between Red and Blue is simple, but it should be bound by some rules. Otherwise, with the fighting power of the little black dragon, he would not be so afraid of the two princes. There is probably a requirement of forced defeat.
Once the prince, princess, and dragon meet, the plot will be forced to proceed.
If it were any other time, Xiao Heilong would definitely want to get off work early and punch out early, but today he suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave. It’s so much fun here, and he can even learn to swim for free with Qiao Song!
He completely forgot the fact that he was kicked down.
Using its wings as propellers, it held its breath and swam hard underwater: Princess, run quickly, the prince is catching up!
The way he gestured wildly made him look more like an accomplice who tipped off a princess than a kidnapper in a fairy tale.
The auctioneer and the male auditor were still preparing to collect the spoils from the pirates when they sensed a number of strange creatures in the water.
They all puffed up their cheeks and swam underwater, holding their breath.
The princes of the red and blue sides inexplicably began to fight the dragon in slow motion underwater, but there was no way because the resistance was too great and they couldn't do anything.
Qiao Song looked at the game-like battle going on in the distance, thought for two seconds, gave Xiao Hei a look that told him to fend for himself, immediately turned around and found a place to hide, and asked the auctioneer to speed up.
As previously agreed, the auctioneer began to attack the pirates' submarine with weapons.
I didn't dare to do this before, firstly, not enough game coins meant not enough bullets, and secondly, pirates are not fools, they would run, but now they can't run away, they have been interrogated like a dumpling with chains all over their body.
The bearded pirate was almost in despair as he watched the hull of his submarine being hit by the female water ghost and attacked by the game bullets.
No, no, they can't do this to me... I have information and I can share it!
Although the Fishing Master game is settled only based on points, there will be a point penalty if the boat sinks.
The fish in the bearded man's boat were not enough to compensate for a submarine. If the points he earned from fishing were not enough to compensate, he would have to pay with game coins himself, but he only had a few game coins left and had originally planned to leave after playing this fishing game.
Greed is indeed a common problem among pirates.
[Detected that the enemy ship is about to sink, should we accept the prisoners? 】
The auctioneer's eyes lit up: "Boss, it's just as you said. Players' submarines can also be captured."
Long before the pirates attacked them, Qiao Song realized a problem. The game coins purchased by players before entering the game hall also came from blind boxes. In theory, they should be bound to the real objects. Therefore, even if they robbed, there was no way to collect the game coins directly from her unless there were other drop channels.
For example, like an auctioneer, use skills to exchange.
For example, if you shoot down any underwater creature, you can get corresponding points, and if you shoot down a player, you can get game coins.
The auctioneer simply ignored his cries for help and asked Qiao Song, "Should we sink the ship or accept the prisoners first?"
Qiao Song: "Say hello to the reviewer next to you first, ask him to open his bearded mouth and ask a few questions."
The male examiner who was fishing peacefully but was dragged into the incident frowned, understood what the girl meant by her mouth gesture, and took back the red lock.
Qiao Song was lying by the window with her hair flying everywhere. She really looked like a mermaid, oh no, a beautiful water ghost.
The pirate was frightened when he saw the cracks in the glass under her hands. As soon as the red lock on his mouth disappeared, he took two breaths and immediately shouted: "Can you hear me? Can you hear me? I have information to exchange! Don't sink my submarine. I can't afford to pay so much money!"
Qiao Song knew that this guy must know a lot of hidden information. While other players were racing against time to fish, this guy dared to attack players secretly, and one surrounded three.
But what she didn't expect was that a guy who was a pirate by profession would be so scared because he couldn't afford to pay the money?
Or does the arcade have any additional punishments prepared for players whose assets become negative?
After confirming that the pirate still had excess value, the auctioneer chose to accept the captive.
The male reviewer watched for a while and seemed to know what they were doing. He also agreed to leave the captives with the auctioneer. After all, he had the skills to restrict the pirates, so both sides had a handle.
The auctioneer used his auction skill again and traded a fish maw to the other party. Now the three people could communicate on the same channel.
[Ding——Congratulations on defeating a submarine. You will receive 30% of the opponent's points based on your contribution value! ]
After choosing to receive the prisoners, the bearded man appeared directly inside the auctioneer's submarine, and at the same time, a system prompt also appeared in his ear.
Not only the auctioneer, but the auditor also received system prompts, but his contribution value was only 25%.
The pirate's points were reset to zero, but the shabby submarine was directly recycled instead of becoming marine debris and falling to the bottom of the sea. This made him feel relieved, at least it didn't become a negative number.
When Qiao Song heard the auctioneer and the auditor say that they had received bonus points, she listened carefully for a while and cursed, "Is the system offline? Where is my bonus? The two of them only contributed 55% in total. Isn't the rest all my contribution?"
After a few seconds, a faint ding finally came from my mind.
[The game points are being merged and converted into the reward value you need. It is detected that you have brought luck to two players in the next game and brought bad luck to one player. You are rewarded with 33% bad luck gold coins]
Hmm? 33%, not 55% excluding the audit and auctioneer part, this calculation method...
Qiao Song carefully read the system prompt again.
So that's how it is.
Her rewards are calculated individually based on the impact on all players there.
In other words, the reward of Doom Coins is not in the belly of the fish, nor in the points that she does not have, but in the hands of the players.
No wonder the fish she caught turned into struggling garbage monsters, because in the game settlement system here, fish were useless garbage to her.
She helped two people but only brought bad luck to one person, so the bad luck coins she got could only exert 33% of their effect.
But doesn't this just encourage her to target players in other games?
When Qiao Song finished dealing with the pirates, the little black dragon over there was almost unable to hold on.
The big lizard was swimming underwater, and its tears melted into the water. But who cared? The princess didn't care anyway! She just left it there.
Damn princess, bad princess!
It thought so in its mind, but what it hated more was the guy behind it.
Why didn’t I realize that these two princes who were chasing me with swords were so hateful before? It’s great to have a weapon. If it weren’t for these two swords, could you have defeated me?
The little black dragon turned flexibly in the water, causing the guys behind it, who looked like cold capsules, to keep spinning in the water.
The map on the kingdom side rarely has contact with water. After all, this is the location of another copy, so the little black dragon can't swim, and the princes can't swim either. They also learned while flapping their wings.
But diving is more difficult. It is much more difficult to slay a dragon with a sword in water than on land.
The prince in the blue knight costume began to show his anger to Xiao Hei: Let me cut him once, and everyone will be happy. Don’t you want to get off work early?
Xiao Hei glared at him: I was hacked to death before I left work, and you left work with the beauty in your arms, how can they be the same?
In fact, it hasn’t had enough fun.
The prince in red was immediately surprised: You call that thing behind you a beauty?
The little black dragon gurgled and spit out a bubble. Looking back, he saw the princess dismantling the other person's submarine with her bare hands and capturing the human player. She was looking at other submarines in the distance.
Little Black Dragon: I want to say that I am the one who was kidnapped. Do you believe me? Or you can go and kill the princess...
The princes didn't say anything and quickly prepared to slay the dragon, otherwise the story would become more and more bizarre.
Qiao Song did not completely let the little black dragon go as she thought. When she saw the little black dragon nimbly dodge the princes' attacks, she discovered the secret of the sword.
It seems that these two NPCs rely on specific weapons to kill the black dragon. So we don’t have to worry about Xiao Hei for the time being. This guy is as agile as a dog in the water, oh no, like a fish.
The question is, should she actively attack other players to get the Doom Coins?
She was now very sure that the magician had obtained the Doom Coins by stealing them from other players outside the red and blue game copies.
The more ruthless you strike, the greater the effect of the Doom Coins.
But Qiao Song didn't intend to do so.
"Ask that bearded guy how the fishing areas are divided on this submarine?"
The game map of Fishing Master is very large. Even if a small internal fight occurred among the players on their side, the distant areas were not affected at all. They were still flashing with colorful special effects and continued to fish diligently.
The auctioneer relayed the prisoner's information.
"Players who carry more game coins and have greater skill potential will be thrown into the outer sea area to fish alone."
"Players who lack game coins and have average potential will be gathered together, and when most of the fish have been caught, they will start fighting among themselves."
The bearded man stammered as he described what he knew, and Qiao Song immediately understood the sinister intention of the game's settings. No wonder Aunt Huo was not left out.
People with strong military power and plenty of money can easily overwhelm the entire sea area. Such people should be thrown to the edge, allowing her to fish in peace.
On the contrary, people who don’t have much money and have average abilities will become greedy and evenly matched with other players, wanting to fight to the death.
Although the fish will follow the submarine, there will always be a day when they will all be caught.
That is when the internal fighting among players begins. The greater the difference in strength, the faster the fighting will end. If everyone is about the same, the fighting will go on endlessly.
Qiao Song immediately had an idea in her mind. She could choose not to attack others actively, but she could not stand others attacking her.
Although other players at least have a submarine hull and a cannon that can be recharged with game coins, it doesn’t matter because she has free thugs from other copies.
"Do you want to earn more points? If you do, follow me."
The auctioneer was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded. How could he not be willing when the boss was leading the team himself? However, the auditor was a little hesitant.
"Why do we need to provoke other players? The points we got from robbing the pirates just now will soon be enough to clear the level. It's not impossible to be a little more cautious..."
The auctioneer silently passed on the clue given by the pirate: "At the end of the fishing game, internal fighting is inevitable. Do you think the fish in the sea will always swim around your boat?"
The system provides such good fishing conditions at the beginning so that in the later stage, when the points are not enough, the player can actively attack other ships.
"It is estimated that a player will soon discover this secret. Instead of being passive, it is better to be proactive."
But if you take the initiative to attack players, you will easily end up like the pirates.
The auctioneer revealed Qiao Song's plan.
The auditor was silent for a moment: "If I understand correctly, by taking the initiative, do you mean taking the initiative to get beaten?"
Auctioneer: "...You can't say that. The boss said it's called fishing. Fishing."
Fishing is an active attack, while fishing requires the use of bait to lure the fish.
The question is, who is the bait?
Qiao Song took on this task on her own initiative, and she has become very skilled at doing this job.
Before setting off, he took the initiative to exchange a large number of game coins with the auctioneer. Due to his profession, the auctioneer had a lot of strange little props on him, and he auctioned a special prop for underwater breathing to Qiao Song at a low price.
【Imitator Mushroom】
[It can help players imitate the most survivable creatures in the current environment, including their appearance and physiological structure. The usage time limit is three hours.]
Three hours should be enough.
As soon as Qiao Song ate the mushroom, he felt a little itchy on his neck. He touched it and found three diagonal lines, which looked like the gills on the side of a shark's face.
Very good. Even if the swim bladder fails later, I won’t have to worry about breathing underwater.
But after swimming for a while, she felt something was wrong with her legs.
His standard left-right foot-pedaling swimming style had unconsciously changed into a tail-swinging diving style with his legs together.
When she looked back, she found that her leg was missing.
A gorgeous mermaid tail, replacing the legs, appeared behind. Qiao Song was numb, and the auctioneer in the submarine behind him stared with his eyes wide open.
"Mermaid Princess?"
She got this mushroom in the Mario game. She had also seen other players use the Imitation Mushroom. Even if they went into the water, at most they would grow gills. This was the first time she saw a player turn into a mermaid.
Qiao Song quickly figured out the reason. It was probably because this dungeon was a fishing master dungeon, where fishing was mainly done by local players. As an outsider, she was not given a submarine or fishing rod at first, probably because of this reason.
Her role from the beginning was not the active party in fishing, but the opposing party who could attack.
She can use the players in this copy to obtain Doom Coins, and of course the players in this copy can also attack her as an alien fish.
I guess every game in this crappy game hall encourages players to kill each other.
Qiao Song confirmed the direction and continued to implement the plan.
Detecting the princess's quick movement, the princes who had opened their mouths suddenly froze.
The prince, who was red and blue and looked like a cold capsule, winked at the black dragon: Why did your princess run away again? Can you give me some help?
The little black dragon also winked: It’s your princess, yours!
The plot defines their mission: the prince must kill the dragon and take the princess away. Now that the winner has not been determined, he naturally cannot stay too far away from the princess.
But the plot is getting more and more distorted. The princess turned into a mermaid. After the prince rescued her from the dragon, would the story turn out differently?
After Qiao Song turned into a mermaid, she swam very fast, and following behind her was a completely different scenery in the water.
The two submarines were clearing the last of the fish around them while following her. At the very end, far behind them, there was a large group of human troops fighting with the black dragon, which was obviously inconsistent with the picture.
As soon as Qiao Song and his guys came over, the other players, who were already seeing a decrease in fishing traffic, immediately became alert.
Why are there mermaids in the underwater game of Fishing Master?
Does this count as a siren, and will I get points for capturing it?
Damn, why are there Western dragons in the water? Damn, why are there troops free diving with their bare hands coming down with them?
The sudden change in style left the players stunned, but among a group of spectators, there is always someone who is the first to try something new.
The game coins were filled and fired. When the first bullet hit, the player was surprised to find that the numbers on the score panel actually jumped.
This mermaid can indeed be killed!
Qiao Song blocked the bullet with a knife, but was surprised to find that a thin layer of fish scales seemed to appear on his body.
Based on this speculation, even if I was hit by the game coins, I shouldn't suffer too much damage. This broken system still has some conscience.
It seems that even if she hadn't traded the Imitation Mushroom with the auctioneer, judging from the balance mechanism, she should have other ways to deal with possible players' outflanking.
In a fishing ground where the fish are about to run out, once the first person fires a shot, some fishing activities will end, and players who have not yet earned enough points will find new ways to get rich.
It’s this fish, so small and so agile that no one has actually hit her a few times yet.
There were more and more intermittent tentative attacks, and occasionally stray bullets would hit the submarine, and then more players realized that it was not just this mermaid that could be targeted, other submarines could be targeted as well!
After the fish in the sea are cleared, a new way to earn points becomes available, and the war is about to break out.
From the moment Qiao Song was attacked by the first bullet, the Red and Blue Prince, who was chasing the Black Dragon, was immediately shocked.
He stammered, as if he wanted to say three words: What a sin.
Then his body rushed towards the princess uncontrollably.
The black dragon, who had been annoyed by the two princes poking him with toothpicks, suddenly felt happy.
Yes, one of the mandatory tasks for these two guys is to protect the princess’ personal safety. When the princess is attacked, their movement speed will increase, and so will their attack power.
Hey, it's your part-time salary that's higher than mine, so you got your retribution for meeting this princess, lol lol.
However, before Heilong, who was watching the show, could enjoy it for a few seconds, he saw Qiao Song on the other side making a gesture.
Come and help
During the past two days of hanging out with Qiao Song, whenever the other party raised his hand, Xiao Heilong knew whether Qiao Song needed to use his left foot or right foot to kick him into the water.
Damn, this evil woman.
Even though he cursed, Xiao Hei thought about it and decided to run over. After all, it was really fun to follow her.
A few minutes later, it exclaimed from the bottom of its heart: It’s really fun!
In its own dungeon, it is usually the evil dragon that is chased and beaten by the king princes, but in fact, under normal circumstances, the princes cannot even break the dragon's skin without special props such as the Dragon Slaying Sword.
So after coming to the Fishing Master copy, Xiao Hei found that these fancy fishing machines were just scratching his head.
It swam happily in the water, watching the humans in the submarine. Their initial surprise at seeing it gradually turned into fear and a bad temper. The little black dragon was so happy.
Alas, this is what a dragon would do!
In the past, in the dungeon, it was so depressing to stay in the cave every day, waiting for the prince to come and take me home from get off work.
And they were so poor that they didn't have any gold coins left. All the gold coins were taken away by the king and sent to this sea area.
I let you steal my coins to make new games! I let you bully me every day!
The little black dragon, who was somewhat seeking revenge, secretly whipped the submarines with its tail, and soon heard the system's warning.
Sticking out his tongue, Xiao Hei restrained himself a little and continued to make trouble here, but found that Qiao Song was having more fun than him.
Because of his small size, Qiao Song mixed in with the school of fish and the submarines that had already started fighting each other. He quickly reported the battle situation here to the auctioneer in the distance.
Not too close to the outer circle of the battle, he discovered that the auctioneers here were already fighting in a group, and they were almost giving a thumbs up to Qiao Song for his behavior of setting fires everywhere.
The boss is awesome, and the others have forgotten that the mermaid who was coveted in the beginning was forced into the war and started fighting with his neighbors.
In addition, the score notification sound kept adding fuel to the fire. Except for a very small number of players who did not participate, this had become a real fishing civil war for everyone.
The auditor next to him was sweating profusely, with vertical lines appearing on his head.
He is really good at causing trouble. To some extent, he is indeed a talented person.
"I have already targeted some of the offending players who actively attacked. Once we confirm that they have blood on their bodies, we can start planning."
The review preparations were completed, the auction preparations were completed, and Qiao Song began to reap the harvest.
But the fishing player didn't really take the fish seriously. After all, the scene was so chaotic that even a few stray bullets would be enough to kill her.
Who would have thought that as the players' submarines sank one after another, the mermaid's sneaky behavior became more and more obvious.
"No, why isn't this guy dead yet? Is there no player attacking her?"
Soon, the fishermen in the submarine knew the reason.
The black dragon behind Qiao Song will actively block most of the attacks. There are also two princes, one blue and one red, holding swords, who closely protect the "beloved" princess.
The number of unlucky shipwrecked players has risen.
Qiao Song smiled happily as he heard the system prompt about the number of Doom Coins.
“It turns out there really is a mermaid princess in the fishing game!”
Some players with poor brains sighed when looking at Qiao Song's face.
The prince who was forced to work overtime as a tool: What a princess, she is such a good fighter, the prince should just let her be the one.
So tired, why did the plot develop like this?
They no longer ask to get off work early, but just want to be paid some salary after working overtime.
The author has something to say:
Xiao Heilong: It would be meaningless if you couldn't take a shit with pay at work.
Fishing players harassed by paid shit: Why are there dragons in fishing games! And they are Western dragons!
PA: Sometimes I really want to call the police...
