Chapter 156 Super Jolio
Although Qiao Song bought underwater props from the auctioneer, the number of game coins he was given later far exceeded the value of the props.
Qiao Song said at the time that they had sufficient ammunition to deal with the submarines that were targeting them.
The mermaid attracted most of the firepower by herself, and the auctioneer Jiang Lan only needed to attack the submarines from behind in a fool-like manner.
With Qiao Song's ability to muddy the waters and relay intelligence, Jiang Lan and the auditor would be doing a disservice to Qiao Song if they didn't take down a few more targets.
"I just happen to have a small mushroom for disguise. Why don't you eat it first? It can change your appearance to a certain extent within 24 hours. The downside is that the degree of modification cannot exceed 50%, so acquaintances may still recognize you."
Jiang Lan's subtext is that if there is no one in the Fishing Master game who is particularly familiar with Qiao Song, then this one mushroom alone would be enough.
This was a good thing, and Qiao Song quickly reached a deal with the auctioneer. However, the setting of this auction was that Qiao Song would "sell" 8,000 game coins to Jiang Lan, and the reward the girl paid for it was a mushroom prop.
"Your skill is quite interesting. You can actually automatically adjust the transaction amount and settlement method."
Jiang Lan, who had finished dividing the spoils with Qiao Song, smiled sheepishly: "That's because our current number and scope just meet my ability requirements."
The auction skill becomes more difficult to use once entering a narrow space as the number of people increases, after all, the enemy may also participate in the bidding.
Qiao Song soon had a small chocolate-like mushroom in his hand. It tasted quite like mushroom power. The mushroom stem was made of biscuit and the cap was made of chocolate.
A virtual funhouse mirror appeared in front of him, and his own face was in the mirror. Qiao Song adjusted his facial features in front of the mirror, and when the threshold reached 50%, it automatically exited the retouching interface.
Aunt Huo looked at her curiously and sighed:
"Qiao Qiao, I almost didn't recognize you."
Although Qiao Song's facial features have only changed 50%, after the most basic facial features, from face shape to eyes, have been adjusted, it feels like a completely different face.
Only his temperament and personal habits remained unchanged, but it was not difficult for Qiao Song to change these artificially.
It is true that only acquaintances can recognize it, and it is easy to mistake it for "just a little bit similar".
At least now she doesn't have to worry about being recognized by the previous group of Fishing Master players as the mermaid who caused trouble before.
The cat at Aunt Huo's feet didn't recognize people by face. The little orange cat raised its nose, sniffed Qiao Song's scent, and soon let out a soft cry.
Meow, I can recognize it.
Qiao Song squatted down and rubbed the kitten's chin with his fingertips: "Okay, okay, I know I can't hide it from you, Xiaoju."
She asked Jiang Lan curiously, "I wanted to ask you before, your imitator mushroom and this disguise mushroom should be made from the same game, right?"
Jiang Lan hummed, "It's the Super Mario arcade game, in the competitive games section."
In Mario's plumber game that has been popular for many years, a large number of mushrooms will appear, and you can transform by eating them.
"That game is quite popular in the competitive area. Do you want to go there?"
Qiao Song has completed the first goal of this trip. What remains is to play games and investigate the situation in the game hall. Of course, he has to go to a crowded place.
Jiang Lan frowned and thought for a moment: "This game doesn't seem to have any key points. The gameplay is similar to the one I played on the computer before. Walk straight along a road, be careful of monsters falling from the ceiling and monsters on the ground, and smash certain bricks and stones to get fixed mushrooms..."
"Oh, by the way, the blind boxes in this game can only be obtained when you reach the end. The ones I picked up along the way are directional props, which are small props that can only be used once."
Jiang Lan told him about it in advance, fearing that Qiao Song might not understand what directional props were.
Indeed, Qiao Song already knew: "There is no way to combine the props of the professional suit, right?"
After she passed the luck game of the red and blue double cans, she obtained several raw materials for gold coins and a complete set of doom gold coins. These should only be used as props and there is no way to collect them and integrate them into a professional set.
Jiang Lan nodded: "It seems that the entire game hall can only be assembled into one professional suit. The blind box props that can be assembled into a suit are scattered in various different games. Only when the game completion evaluation is particularly high can you have a chance to get the relevant props."
The professional suit rating of this game hall is S level.
You can imagine how difficult it is to get a new career.
After telling Qiao Song all the information he knew, Jiang Lan was ready to leave the game: "I have completed three game targets. Next, I should go to the 89th floor to find a place to rest. Boss, you can contact me if you have anything."
Not all players will keep brushing props in the game hall. Due to the special profession of Jiang Lan, even if he does not get too many props, he can use the reverse auction method to exchange the extra game coins he has gained for small props that other players do not want.
This also gave Qiao Song an inspiration: "In the blind box mall, can you also use your skills to complete the purchase and sale of daily necessities with other players?"
Jiang Lan hummed, "But my current skills only allow me to be the buyer or seller. I can't connect two separate parties. When my skills are upgraded, I should be able to hold a small auction directly."
Qiao Song nodded thoughtfully and took the initiative to tell her that he would contact her if there was anything.
Jiang Lan happily said that it was no problem.
If she hadn't followed Qiao Song to drink some soup this time, she would have completed the targets for the three game consoles and would not have had many game coins left.
What's more, it's a map like Fishing Master that consumes a lot of game coins.
The item rewards in Fishing Master are the fish bladders that Qiao Song had traded before. They are all related to underwater competitions. Qiao Song is not interested in them for the time being, so Jiang Lan goes to find other players to trade.
Before leaving, Qiao Song asked her for some other information about the game hall.
"That row of soul vending machines outside?" Jiang Lan recalled carefully for a moment.
"I haven't heard of anyone using those machines outside. It seems that some accident happened before, which caused the game hall to close down. As for the games that require game coins produced by the soul vending machine to enter, they are not open yet, right?"
After getting the answer he wanted, Qiao Song nodded, waved to her, and reminded her to pay attention to transaction safety.
Jiang Lan smiled and ate a disguise mushroom: "Don't worry, I have experience."
Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked for information and went to the Mario game in the second game.
After the auctioneer left, Aunt Huo already understood Qiao Song's plan: "Qiao Qiao, do you also want to play this mushroom game?"
Qiao Song nodded and glanced at his phone. Tang Xiaoxiao had not yet come out of the multiplayer team game, and Lou Keqing was also still in the sports area.
She pinched her fingertips and already had a plan.
"This mushroom is quite useful. We can get some back."
For someone like her who often needs to change her face, it can be regarded as a magic weapon to save lives and get things done at home.
Aunt Huo smiled and said, "Then I'll go over too. It'll just make up for my lack of frontal combat power."
Aunt Huo’s ability characteristics are too obvious and easy to recognize. Among those mushrooms, it is said that there are explosive mushrooms and other powerful props, which Aunt Huo also wants very much.
The two decided to go to the competition area for the next game. Before that, Qiao Song had to solve his own bad luck.
The area where they are talking now is the dining area of the game hall. There is a separate small round table. All they need to do is order a drink and a circle of baffles will be upgraded around the round table. Just like in a private room, they can talk quietly in there without worrying about being seen.
Qiao Song first took out the gold coin raw materials he got in the game.
Although her goal was to obtain the Doom Coins, in addition, she also obtained special raw materials that could be synthesized into gold coins.
And it's not just about bad luck.
Lucky Gold x3.
Doom Gold X9.
Qiao Song took out his half-finished Doom Gold Coin, and the two golden beans piled on the table began to vibrate, as if attracted by a magnet, and crawled towards the half-finished product.
Qiao Song stopped the few lucky golds and allowed the unlucky golds next to them to crawl to the vicinity of the semi-finished gold coins.
Soon, she heard a ding in her ear.
【Congratulations on synthesizing a new item card! 】
[Since you did not add any luck when creating the gold coin, the ability of this gold coin is as follows——]
【Doomsday Coins (Doomsday Enhanced Edition)】
[There is always a saying in the world called the conservation of luck. People will not always be unlucky, nor will they always be lucky. But under the influence of this gold coin, in the short term, you will continue to be unlucky until the bad luck is completely consumed. ]
Among the new raw materials obtained by Qiao Song, there were three pieces of doom gold, all of which were actively absorbed by this coin.
Moreover, the description of this prop made her feel a little strange.
After that brat magician used gold coins on her, Qiao Song first experienced a brief period of good luck, and then immediately fell into a situation of crazy bad luck. In other words, the opponent's coins might have been obtained directly from the copy, otherwise there would be no need to add an extra lucky attribute to her, and she could just be unlucky.
Qiao Song took out the Doom Coin that was rewarded by the system, and his guess was confirmed.
【Doom Coin (Balanced Version)】
The previous description is the same, but the subsequent effects are slightly different.
[…You will have a certain degree of luck in the short term, but the price is that great misfortune will suddenly come.]
There is a very disgusting point about this coin, it is a locked universal prop, that is, it can be used directly on others as long as you can lock him.
Qiao Song's position had been locked by the magician before, and the magician had directly dropped gold coins remotely.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have encountered the sleeping Lord of Hell in the hell mini-game.
However, meeting the little crow didn't seem to be fatally unlucky. The guy's attitude towards her was strange...
Qiao Song looked strange for a while, put the coin away, and prepared to find an opportunity to return the gift of the enhanced version of the coin of Doom to You Yitong.
After the semi-finished props in the shrine became finished products, it was as if a piece of sticky chewing gum had been removed, and Qiao Song felt a sense of lightness all over.
After putting his things in order, Qiao Song considered whether to open this golden blind box.
The color of the S-level item blind box is said to be blood red.
Now that she has the lucky raw materials in her hands, she may be able to make a lucky gold coin to enhance her luck in drawing the blind box.
Good steel is used on the blade, but it is only grade A, not lucky gold coins.
Qiao Song opened the golden blind box. She intuitively felt that there should be something good inside, and she also wanted to check if her luck had recovered.
In the rare moment of feeling a little uneasy, a golden light flashed by.
[Ding——Congratulations on obtaining the A-level special item: The Dragon Slaying Sword of the Gem Kingdom]
[There are many small countries scattered in the fairy tale kingdom, and each country has its own best crafts. The citizens of the Gem Kingdom are very good at making dragon-slaying swords with gems. With it, you will be invincible when facing dragon creatures. At the same time, it can greatly improve the physical fitness of the sword holder. After all, a brave man must have a strong body to travel long distances to slay dragons! ]
Sure enough, Qiao Song’s guess came true.
The quality of this item is quite useful even among A-level ones.
The note is a special prop, so it seems that it is not a one-time prop and can be used multiple times.
Qiao Song threw the sword into his prop box with satisfaction, and took a look at the progress bar on it.
twenty three%.
The soul's evolution was very slow, not much stronger than when it came out of the paper-making town.
The main reason is that in this copy, Qiao Song rarely has the opportunity to make money.
In her conversation with auctioneer Jiang Lan just now, she also learned that the other party was improving his ability level by continuously promoting multiple auctions, and the barber Xiao Huangmao she met a long time ago also honed his skills by helping people cut hair.
Qiao Song was very confused. Why did his skill require him to collect soul coins?
She is obviously just an ordinary worker.
Aunt Huo at the side seemed to have considered this question as well: "The upgrade of skills is linked to the nature of the profession. Xiaoxiao has been doing exercises all the time, and Xiaoni is also practicing paper-folding every day. Even if they leave the paper-folding town, their abilities will gradually improve. This is not just a matter of self-effort. Qiaoqiao, their abilities started to change in the Hell Community before, and the self-awareness of the soul will also have a great impact."
Xiao Ni used to be a water ghost, but later he awakened new skills step by step. This is the change in his self-cognition.
In Aunt Huo's opinion, Qiao Song's soul is very special: "You may have stood at the end of everyone from the beginning, so your room for improvement is all compressed on the soul coin. Perhaps, your soul has long been strong enough, and can only be stimulated by external soul power."
This was the first time Qiao Song heard Aunt Huo mention this, but why did Aunt Huo...
Aunt Huo made a shushing gesture and said, "I met an old friend this time and remembered a lot of things. After all, I have been in this game longer than most of you. Let's go to the game first. I will tell you next time when everyone is together."
Surrounded by kittens, Qiao Song looked thoughtful. They quickly left the rest area and came to another independent space in the game area.
The luck games they played before have another name in the real world, called gambling games. Most of them are slot machines, gambling machines, mahjong machines, fishing machines and guessing jar games.
As the name suggests, the competitive area requires players to pass levels and fight monsters.
When Qiao Song pushed the door open, he saw two neat rows of arcade games, ranging from King of Fighters to Tank Battle and Contra.
At the very center of the corridor is the sculpture of Mario the plumber.
It was very lively over there, and it seemed that quite a few players were queuing up to go in.
Qiao Song also saw several injured men rubbing the corners of their mouths, leaving the arcade games and preparing to queue up for Mario.
"This is a lousy arcade game. I thought I was controlling the characters to fight, but it turned out to be real people. I was almost beaten to death by the guy on the other side."
"You're not a fitness coach, how come you were beaten like this by that kid?" His companion, who was slightly thinner than him, had fewer injuries on his body than the big guy.
"…The other person is a stunt double. He is really fighting. It is useless for me to hit him with a barbell."
Rubbing the bruises on their faces with healing items, both of them were silent: "Let's find something easier this time. All we need is a game console. When we're done, we'll go out."
Qiao Song looked at the two men inconspicuously, and they seemed a little familiar.
Hmm? A pyrotechnician and a fitness trainer...
Isn’t this the person from Hearse Entertainment who contributed the Hell Society card to himself?
Qiao Song copied the opponent's card at that time and directly sent Boss Cai into hell.
I don’t know if the other party still has the waste card left behind after using the Hell’s Gate item?
Qiao Song happened to be queuing behind these two people.
She had eaten mushrooms and had her face slightly adjusted, so the other party saw her but did not recognize her and continued to discuss in a low voice with his companions.
"There are so many people queuing for this game, so it shouldn't be very difficult. I heard from the people in front that there are props in it. They are not the kind that you need to draw blind boxes, but very common mushroom props. Even if we don't use them, we can find a way to sell them after leaving the blind box mall."
The pyrotechnician also thinks this is the case.
Soon, someone came to line up behind Qiao Song, and this time she was keenly aware of some kind of gaze.
I turned slightly sideways and saw two men in my peripheral vision, one tall and one short.
The taller one was a little confused: "Are you sure it's her? From the side I see she doesn't look like her at all."
The short man who was a security guard also muttered, "The face seems to be different, but the feeling from the back is the same as before."
The tall man didn't quite trust his younger brother's vision, but he believed in his skills. They had relied on this trick to seek revenge many times before.
"That cowardly pirate actually didn't dare to participate in the game because he lost all his game coins." The tall man crossed his arms and laughed. "He has props on him, so he just pawned one to deal with the emergency. After suffering such a big loss, his first reaction was to run away. I don't know how he became a professional pirate in the past."
His companion echoed: "Yes, yes, maybe he died on the Infinite Highway because he didn't do well at sea."
If you successfully leave the game before the submarine sinks, you will lose your points but will not be fined. Those who are reluctant to leave the submarine may end up in debt to the submarine.
The game system will only recycle submarines without players. If the players stay in them and are unwilling to leave the game, the submarine will seem to disappear directly after it sinks completely to the bottom. It does not seem to have returned to the Fishing Master's system, so the system will transfer this part of the loss to the players.
Similarly, if the ship does not sink and you pass the level successfully, you will receive a small amount of points as a reward, which should be counted for protecting the ship.
There were weapons on the ship, so people were greedy and wanted to give it a try.
Although Brother Qiang said that the pirates were too cowardly, he himself was not much better. Although he was not taken prisoner, at the last moment, he also felt hatred and gave up the points in the submarine and chose to leave the game to save his life.
But he must find a way to deal with the culprit who made him penniless. The war situation was so chaotic at the time, and it was possible that someone took advantage of the situation and shot him in the back.
If it comes to a real one-on-one fight, he doesn't think he will lose.
The short security guard rubbed his hands in confusion: "But Brother Qiang, how can the guy surnamed Wang be so sure that there will be other punishments after bankruptcy?"
Brother Qiang snorted coldly: "There was indeed such a rule in the past, but now..."
His eyes looked outside the glass door, deep into the corridor, where deep darkness isolated a row of evil machines.
"After the last rectification, it's even a question whether the game will still be available. He's not afraid of shit."
The short security guard started praising him again, saying that our brother Qiang is so awesome.
Qiao Song, who was standing in line silently, was only a few meters away from them: …
She took off the wall-ear set. As a prop wholesaler, Gao Chengcheng left her various small prop cards, which were very suitable for eavesdropping on these idiots who discussed intelligence without thinking on the street.
When queuing for this game, ordinary players will be forced to stay 4 to 5 meters apart and queue in separate grids, but she still knows how to use props.
Soon, the team moved forward and it was their turn.
The pyrotechnician and the fitness coach had already gone in, and at the entrance to the game, there were two little men in plumber suits, one on the left and one on the right, distributing the game equipment inside.
"One three-piece suit per person, you can't take more or less," said Mario, dressed in white on the left, who seemed to be quite talkative, bending slightly to tease the cat, "Oh, little kitty, so cute, little kitties don't need to wear anything."
Aunt Huo soon had a classic red Mario suit in her hands.
On Qiao Song's side, the prop was handed to him by the black Mario on the right.
"Put on the three-piece suit before going in." In comparison, the dark-skinned Mario was much more indifferent.
The three-piece work suit consists of a hat, a pair of gloves, and a pair of boots.
Only after both of them are fully dressed will they be allowed to enter the game machine. After they enter, the players in the queue behind them can come over and follow the same process.
Before putting it on, Qiao Song checked the material of the three-piece suit. It didn't look like ordinary cloth. It was soft yet had a certain hard texture, as if it was made of the skin of a special animal.
After putting on his hat, boots, and finally adjusting his gloves, Qiao Song was sucked into the black pipe in front of the game console before he could say a word to Aunt Huo.
She felt her body getting smaller and the passage getting bigger, and a few seconds later, she landed on a lush green meadow.
There were many strange yet familiar colored blocks floating in the sky, and in front of her was a narrow path that could be said to be built on a cliff.
It can be vaguely seen that this narrow path is not safe, and monsters walk around from time to time.
And there seemed to be no one else in the entire map except her.
There was a sudden scream in the air, followed by a woman's panicked cry: "Mario save me!"
After the princess' voice faded away, the system background introduction was timely launched:
[Oh, my dear Mario, the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom has been captured, and you have bravely stood up. Quickly overcome all difficulties, defeat the monsters, and rescue the poor princess from the hands of the underground demons! ]
Jolio, who just became a princess in the last round, subdued the dragon, and beat up the prince: …
Things change, and this time I really become a hero, okay.
The author has something to say:
A princess yesterday, a plumber today, everyone has a happy future.
