Chapter 155 Screaming Game Hall
[Ding——It is detected that the current submarine damage is too high. Your submarine has been sunk...]
[Ding——The current submarine is damaged...]
One after another, the submarines that came down to fish became the fish that were turned upside down and were forced to go offline.
Led by the mermaid who stirred up trouble in the water, a large number of players finally quit this so-called fishing game.
If you exit early, you can at least keep the points you already have in the cabin.
If they continued fighting for a while, the submarine would be sunk and they would have to pay back the game money.
However, Qiao Song and her team only sank those that had actively attacked the mermaids. She was clear about right and wrong and would not chase after those honest players who had long left the battle circle and only wanted to catch fish.
After this group of warlike guys were defeated, the remaining fish were enough for them to slowly complete the level.
In the end, Qiao Song and his men did not accept many prisoners.
Qiao Song discussed with the auctioneer and the auditor and decided that they did not need too many captives at the moment. On the one hand, they might not be able to control so many people, and on the other hand, the game was about to end.
The sound of gold coins rolling around was so pleasant to his ears that Qiao Song almost became addicted to it.
Soon, she saw those desperate faces disappear in the submarine. After the ship sank, the players who failed the game were teleported away and no one knew where they went.
"Boss, my cabin points have been maxed out. Shall we go up now?" The auctioneer's excited voice appeared in Yumao's communication channel.
"Let's go, my transformation time is almost up." As the battle ended, the attacks of the surrounding players became weaker, and the two princes with faces as black as the bottom of a pot got closer to her. Qiao Song looked at the black dragon that was still harassing the players heartlessly, and finally swung a hammer over and hit the dragon's tail.
Qiao Song gestured: Run away quickly.
Only then did the little black dragon realize that quite a lot of the submarines in the water seemed to have disappeared.
Now, the red and blue human army in the water became extremely conspicuous.
Oops, I forgot these damn colleagues were coming to chop me up!
The little black dragon began to dog paddle at the speed of light and swam towards the shore.
However, the red and blue sides of the kingdom had always targeted each other in previous games and disliked each other's twin princes. During this tragic journey, they went through a complicated mental journey and unexpectedly reached an agreement.
After the two princes served as the princess' shields, perhaps because the excess gas in their brains was squeezed out by the water, their IQs finally took over, and they shook hands, made peace, and began to work together.
The red prince went to catch the black dragon, and the blue prince rushed to Qiao Song.
As the prince approached, Qiao Song could clearly feel the stiffness in his limbs becoming more and more severe, as if some forced plot was about to take place, and he had a strong conflict to turn around and run into the prince's arms.
Tsk, instead of letting me throw myself into your arms, I might as well stab you in the face.
Suddenly, a story narration sounded in her ears:
[…After the princess was kidnapped this time, the princes encountered several extremely difficult battles, and the princess fell into a serious crisis. The concern for the princess and the worry about the situation in the kingdom made the two princes, who had been against each other since birth, reach a reconciliation for the first time.
One of them decided to make sacrifices for the glory of the kingdom and defeat the black dragon, while the other side planned to step forward to rescue the princess for the sake of friendship with the neighboring country.
The weak princess seemed to have awakened her ancient bloodline in the crisis. Oh, this might be a princess with mermaid bloodline. After returning this time, the neighboring country might expand its territory to the ocean in order to find the secret between the former royal bloodline and the ocean.
This world may soon have a new sea legend. 】
Will this story background be updated based on the player's behavior?
Qiao Song almost turned around subconsciously and looked in the direction of the prince.
Sensing that something was wrong, she quickly called the auctioneer to come over for help: "Don't come up yet. The two of you drive the submarine over here and block my view. Don't confront those guys head-on."
She wanted to verify a guess.
After the submarine blocked the princess's figure, that strange bond disappeared a little, and Qiao Song no longer had that strong urge to turn back to look for the prince.
Qiao Song can therefore be sure that vision is also a way for NPCs to make judgments, preventing some out-of-control players from completely leaving the game map.
Otherwise, if the prince and the black dragon had appeared in the water at the same time, she would not have been able to cause trouble here, instead of waiting until now after the area was cleared and then the other party came to deal with her.
She had to get ashore first, as her mermaid suit was about to become ineffective.
The princes belong to another game system and will not actively attack the submarines, but choose to bypass them.
Qiao Song told the auctioneer not to engage in direct conflict with this group of NPCs, so until he surfaced and heard the reminder of the game settlement, the auctioneer only saw the dragon flying through the air and the prince swimming madly behind it.
Qiao Song ran faster than the little black dragon, the pterosaur she was riding.
Little Feather chirped, as if saying, why didn't you call me out earlier.
"The circumstances of this instance are rather special. I'm afraid that if you come in, you'll be written into other people's stories."
Before, she kidnapped the black dragon so far away, and the background narration did not change. This time, the prince witnessed her turning into a mermaid, and the narration changed. This shows that it should be okay to summon Little Feather when the prince is not watching.
The various marine equipment on her body began to fail intermittently, and soon she saw land.
Behind him, there was also the unwilling and even aggrieved roar of a black dragon.
Awoo——
Little Black Dragon: You bad woman, you bad princess! How could you leave a dragon like me here?
So you have other dragons! ?
Qiao Song didn’t know if it was because he had been with cats for a long time, but he could more or less understand the words coming out of the mouths of these non-human creatures.
Since we can see the little black dragon, the prince behind it should not be far away.
She patted Little Feather and told the other party to retreat quickly.
After returning to land, the story seemed to have returned to its original course, and a wet prince in blue clothes soon climbed out of the water.
Now he looks like a worker with a face full of fatigue and a head full of resentment left over from the Ironman triathlon and marathon.
Anyone is like a speedboat. After chasing two annoying things for such a long distance, their gluteal and ham muscles are as tight as fists.
"Dear princess, you have suffered at the hands of the dragon. I will take you back to your country now."
The line was spoken weakly, but with gritted teeth.
Qiao Song felt her body automatically turn to that side, and she even lifted up her skirt on her own initiative.
"Thank you very much for your assistance."
"But I have a small request. I wonder if I can ask the prince..."
The prince in blue clothes was about to say no, but the system required the prince to protect the princess. He was even willing to block a knife for her, so what would it matter if he agreed to a small request?
After complaining to the system eight hundred times to no avail, the other party sighed unwillingly.
"You tell me... As long as it's not about letting the dragon go, I'll..."
Killing the black dragon is a necessary plot in this part of the story. He was afraid that the princess had been with the dragon for too long and would develop feelings for the dragon. Unexpectedly, Qiao Song put down her skirt with both hands, rushed up and punched the prince in the face.
Under the control of the plot, when that face approached, the prince's heartbeat still uncontrollably slowed down for a beat, and he didn't know if the redness on his face was due to the intense exercise or some other reason.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Song snatched his sword away.
"I've been annoyed with that evil dragon for a long time. I was starved and cold, and was forced to swim in the water with it and encounter attacks from all kinds of monsters. It scared me to death. I see you must be tired after swimming for so long today. How about I help you with the next task? Let me stab it a few times, help you complete the task, and get off work early. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?"
She said all this in one breath, and without even waiting for the prince to react, she rushed towards the dragon that had just landed on the shore with the jeweled iron sword in hand.
In previous plot settings, it took two princes to deal with a black dragon, but if they hadn't chased it separately just now, Qiao Song would probably have slipped into the third game.
The two princes even thought that the two roles were assigned at the beginning so that one would watch over the dragon and the other would watch over the princess, but who knew that his sword was also taken away!
The little black dragon had just come ashore, and was cursing as he wanted to kick over the red prince who stabbed him in the butt, but he still had to be careful to dodge the other's sword.
Unexpectedly, he saw Qiao Song coming back to find him. The little black dragon felt hesitant and had not decided whether to forgive her, but Qiao Song stabbed his toe with a sword.
"Don't cry yet, let's discuss something!"
Seeing the little black dragon looking at him in disbelief, with tears in his eyes due to grievance, Qiao Song hurriedly beat him while whispering to him: "Let me ask you, after the prince sends the princess back to the neighboring country, will he be able to inherit the throne immediately?"
The little black dragon said aggrievedly: Woo woo woo, so you want to kill me too.
Qiao Song sighed, moved a few inches to the side, and blocked the red prince's sneak attack on the little black dragon with one sword.
Red Prince:?
The prince's eyes slowly moved downwards.
Isn't this the weapon of my good brother? (He thinks the other person is his brother.)
The prince in red looked into the distance and saw that the prince in blue, whose jeweled sword had been robbed, had moved slower, like an ordinary NPC who had to take a breath after running for a while.
"Hurry, hide your sword. This player seems to..."
Seeing his victim coming, Qiao Song stopped pretending, kicked the prince in red away, and snatched the sword from his hand.
The two princes had been relying on the power of their jeweled swords, but in reality they themselves had little fighting ability, and they were not on guard against the princess, allowing Qiao Song, the weak princess who was as vulnerable as a weeping willow, to take advantage.
"Little Black Dragon, please do me a favor and take me to the throne. After you get off work, I will give you extra overtime pay!"
The little black dragon opened his eyes wide, his tears were still there.
What are you talking about?
Although it didn't know what Qiao Song was going to do, it understood the overtime pay!
Qiao Song threw out a net bag, and sand flew all over the place, covering the two princes head-on on the beach.
She took the opportunity to grab the little black dragon's feet, and while shouting for help, she slapped the other's thigh.
The little black dragon realized it later and, with rare cleverness, let out a roar and flew straight into the sky.
That direction is the neighboring country.
A giant countdown appeared in the sky above, with only 15 minutes left.
After the princess shouted for help, the two princes who had lost their swords were shocked and entered the forced mission state again. They chased in this direction with their legs, but this time without the swords, their forward speed was obviously much slower.
Qiao Song took the opportunity to climb from Little Black Dragon's feet onto his back, and told him his plan: "...If everything goes well, you can contact me through this number, or find a boy or girl. Do you know them?"
Qiao Song got inspiration from this guy's eagerness to get off work. Maybe Xiao Ni, Tong Yao, Tong Nan and others were also doing this kind of weird summer job.
The little black dragon's expression changed from shock at first, to confusion later, and now to sudden realization that "it turns out you can play it this way".
It nodded. Of course it knew the boys and girls in the paper-making town, but it didn't expect that this player who came to complete the mission had such a relationship with him.
"I'll give you the incense and canned food later. When I stab you, pretend to be sincere so you don't get caught right away."
The little black dragon nodded. After all, being stabbed didn’t mean he would really die. It just meant his game character would go offline. In the past, he hated acting with those two useless princes, who were incompetent but liked to pretend. But at least the character of Black Dragon would go offline quickly and he still got paid.
This time it’s even better, not only do I have fun, but I also get extra part-time wages!
The little black dragon was moving very fast this time, and Qiao Song could already see the territory of the kingdom that he had passed by before.
The country where the prince is and the country where the princess is are actually separated by a mountain range.
This is perfect, as it allows people from both countries to see her performance.
Qiao Song patted the little black dragon’s neck and the show began!
It was an ordinary afternoon, the sun was setting and the breeze was gentle.
The residents of the fairy tale kingdom suddenly heard a familiar roar of a dragon in the sky, followed by a scream.
The princess who was rumored to have been captured by the dragon long ago suddenly appeared in the sky above the royal capital, and they flew to the border of the mountain range.
The poor screaming princess took out two glittering jewel swords as if to protect herself.
In the Gem Kingdom where the prince lives, special gem swords are made that not only provide the sword holder with superb physical fitness, but are also extremely sharp and can even kill fantasy creatures such as dragons.
At this critical moment, fortunately, the princess had the jewel sword in her hand. They fought in the air for several rounds. Finally, the princess dodged and fell. She actually used the momentum of her fall to kill the black dragon directly in the air at the top of the mountain.
The black dragon roared unwillingly in the mountains, and then bit by bit it turned into fragments in the sunlight.
A grand decisive battle ended here.
But in fact, Qiao Song only stabbed a small wound in the little black dragon's chest with the sword, and the little black dragon himself made a funny gesture of sticking out his tongue and twisting his neck to pretend to be dead.
The narration in my ear was even a little silent for a few seconds before it slowly sounded.
[…Although the princes failed to arrive in time, the brave princess picked up the sword in times of crisis and killed the dragon with her own hands, ending the greatest threat to the two countries near Dragon Mountain…]
At this moment, the narration stopped, and Qiao Song took the initiative to urge: "What else, what else?"
The countdown in the sky had reached the last minute, and the narrator had no choice but to slowly utter the last words.
[In view of the princess's heroic deeds, the king finally decided to pass the throne to her and bestowed the title of warrior on her. From then on, the people of both countries cheered and sang praises to the princess's deeds. The story of the dragon and the princess ended... The queen was crowned, and the history of the fairy tale kingdom was changed...]
The countdown ended, the tattered princess dress on her body disappeared, and Qiao Song returned to the game console where she sat at the beginning.
She looked further away, to the castle far away on the hillside. Celebration songs and dances were still being played this time, but the music sounded a little different, as if it was celebrating the coronation of a crown prince.
The same question appears on the screen:
[Red and blue cans, guess which side is bigger and which side is smaller? ]
This question is also known as: Which prince will eventually succeed to the throne?
Only the one who successfully completes the mission, kills the black dragon, and rescues the princess of the neighboring country can become the eldest prince and inherit the throne.
But the ending of the story completely deviates from this question.
At this moment, the two cans, one blue and one red, on the game console flashed as if the signal was bad.
The problem slowly changed.
[Excuse me, who will inherit the throne of the kingdom in the end? ]
In addition to the red and blue cans on the game console, a new, golden can appeared.
Qiao Song raised the corner of his mouth and naturally chose the third golden jar.
"Of course the one who succeeds the throne must be the princess."
After all, they successfully killed the black dragon in front of the people of both countries and obtained two jewel swords. After the princess succeeded to the throne, the neighboring country had enough strength and might even be able to annex another country.
Since neither prince became king, there was no correct answer to the question given by the game console, so naturally only the third option could be given.
Qiao Song picked up the upside-down jar, and as expected, there was a pile of gold coins underneath.
The world around her suddenly went dark, and before her eyes were blurred, she was back inside the game room, sitting on the chair that had to choose one of two options, guess the jar.
There are already a bunch of gold coins in her system backpack.
[It is detected that you brought bad luck X9 and luck X3 to other units in this round of the game. You will receive the corresponding materials, bad luck gold X9 and lucky gold X3]
[The Doom Index reaches the standard, and the designated item is awarded: Perfect Doom Coin X2]
[Because you changed the game process, the fairy tale book added two new background pages and a new story line. The fairy tale book is very satisfied and will give you an extra blind box unique to the fairy tale kingdom]
A golden blind box appeared in the system backpack.
Qiao Song hesitated for a moment and decided not to open it for the time being.
Now that I have the materials, I can finally find a way to get rid of the bad luck that surrounds me.
The next second after her butt left the machine, a crackling sound of electricity was heard in the air.
On the machine that had to choose between red and blue, the original colorful words "Congratulations on passing the customs" changed to white words on a black background.
【The machine is damaged and is under repair. 】
Qiao Song raised his eyebrows. Was he discovering a loophole in the game and trying to find a way to fill it, or was he adjusting the content of the next game because of a new story branch that appeared in the system prompt?
It's none of her business anyway.
Qiao Song left the game console and walked towards the fishing master's table.
I don’t know whether the auctioneer and the auditor received their share of the reward, and I don’t know what happened to Aunt Huo either.
Not long after Qiao Song arrived here, he happened to see several people coming out of the game.
The fishing master's machine is a very large oval table. The corresponding ships and weapons will be displayed on the screen. In the past, when playing this game in the game hall, you would insert coins and then operate the cannon on the screen to fire game coins to fish.
This screen is wider than the largest fishing machine in the real world and can accommodate at least a dozen players.
Now most of the screen is black, with only four or five machines lit up.
Obviously, most of the players didn't make any money in this round.
"Huh, this is a weird game. Why haven't mermaids appeared before? What the hell is going on?"
"We are relatively lucky. They left before the fight started. Some guys were reluctant to part with their few points and wanted to make a big splash. Look, their faces are as black as the bottom of a pot."
"Shh, keep your words down."
Just as this passerby said, the players on the table looked more dejected than each other.
When the player first starts fishing on the sea, there are disturbances from the wind and waves outside, and in the submarine, it is even harder to see the faces of neighbors unless they are very close. This results in that even after the player comes out of the game, he still doesn't know which two bastards took the lion's share of points.
The auctioneer had seen a lot of big deals after all, so he left the table without changing his expression. Like the other players, he looked around with a frown on his face.
At this time, Qiao Song turned around decisively and sent a message to Aunt Huo.
[Auntie Huo, I'm next to the Fishing Master's machine, why can't I see you? ]
Aunt Huo replied: [After I dived into the water, I seemed to be thrown into another sea area. The game just ended and I am now at another table.]
【Qiao Qiao, I saw you. 】
[Don't look back yet, it seems like someone is staring at you. ]
Qiao Song did not stay at this table. She walked away with big strides. Several people who had just come out of the Fishing Master were staring at her back.
I just had time to see her profile, and the man was still muttering, "Why does this guy look so much like that mermaid?"
The companion next to him immediately slapped him on the head: "Look, what are you looking at? You've already lost so much, and you're still looking at beauties. Tsk, even though you've already cleared three machines, you've lost all your points, and you didn't even get many props..."
The one who was dazzled by the slap held his head and said, "Brother, I'm not looking at beauties. Have you forgotten my skills? We definitely met that woman just now, and it was just recently."
[Community security, keep the area safe]
[Human face recognition device, for residents who frequently come and go in the community, can quickly memorize the other person's appearance characteristics, and have a clear "sense of familiarity" when encountering them next time]
This skill is actually a bit useless. You have to see the face to remember other people's features, but it cannot be used underwater, such as in a submarine environment, after all, it is so far away.
In a game like the one just mentioned, only a mermaid showing her face can leave a deep impression on people.
But it’s different now. There’s a guy who is obviously not in their game and whom they have never met before, but he looks familiar even when they look at his back.
Coincidentally, a man with an anchor tattooed on his shoulder also quit the game. The security guard seemed to know him and hinted to his eldest brother: "Brother, could it be that this guy won our points? I remember he seemed to be a captain or something?"
The eldest brother snorted and directly grabbed the pirate captain's shoulder: "Mr. Wang, do you have evil thoughts again this time? In the last round, you...?"
As a result, the big pirate who always looked down on people turned around with a red and swollen face, as if he had been beaten, and there were all kinds of strange red marks on his body.
He doesn't look like the final winner at all.
For a moment, the eldest brother was a little suspicious: "You are..."
There were traces of an iron chain on the pirate's mouth. He trembled all over, as if he had thought of something terrible: "Don't ask me, I don't know anything. I'm lucky I didn't die this time. I've passed the level, I'm going out..."
The eldest brother narrowed his eyes and directly controlled this "old acquaintance".
"I see you know a lot, let's chat." He pointed to the back with his thumb. "Everyone has left anyway."
The players in the Fishing Master game have almost all scattered, and it is difficult to tell from their expressions who is the last guy who has screwed everyone over.
Qiao Song successfully left the scene quickly despite several gazes. Fortunately, she escaped quickly. After all, she was the only one whose face was remembered in the entire Fishing Master game.
I'll have to find a way to get some camouflage mask next time.
After meeting up with Aunt Huo, the auctioneer took a short detour and then quietly ran over to meet her.
"Boss! Here I come!"
The auctioneer was there to return her game coins.
The author has something to say:
Qiao Song: Becoming famous (ruining) the arcade started with becoming a mermaid princess
