Chapter 220 Snake's Treasure Game
In Snake's treasure game, the jar can only be opened by the first person who encounters it. After the player uses a skill, the jar that appears on his body can only be opened by himself.
But Seagull's target now is obviously the jar on Qiao Song's body.
Qiao Song's reaction speed was much faster than that of the attacker. He almost didn't dodge. After pulling out the hammer, he twisted his body. As a result, Seagull seemed to have bumped into it and was hit on the head by the hammer.
As a result, this stupid bird turned directly into a ball of white liquid in the water.
So vulnerable?
Qiao Song frowned and soon realized that something else was approaching.
"French fries, give them to me!"
New seagulls came again with the familiar bird calls.
Qiao Song worked on both hands at the same time, with a hammer in her left hand and a chainsaw in her right hand. Every time she summoned the toolbox to take out a weapon to hammer the seagull, a small jar would appear on her body, clipped on her clothes like a shell.
One on the left and one on the right, the seagulls were smashed and turned into two suspended liquids of the same color. After Qiao Song killed about 10 of them, he was already very sure that this guy had deliberately pounced on him to die.
The seagull that attacked Qiao Song had turned into a small white mass of water, surrounding her and greatly obstructing her vision.
With the cover in place, Qiao Song clearly felt that in addition to the seagulls, there were other players approaching him.
Her ears might be more useful in the water than on land. After all, now that she has eaten the transformation mushroom, half of her features are very similar to those of fish.
She could feel the waves of the water and even smell a strange smell.
Qiao Song, whose vision was blocked, listened for a moment. Apart from the illusion created by the seagull's explosion, she felt that there were at least three players around.
The seagulls were still attacking, and Qiao Song had to kill them. After all, these guys had begun to actively pull the small jars off her clothes.
"...Force type..."
"...jar..."
Qiao Song narrowed his eyes and pulled the trigger on the chainsaw again.
Generally speaking, players who can move underwater at least have basic underwater skills or props, but these people dared to encircle and suppress her right after she went into the water and entered the second stage of the game.
A bit too anxious.
She has already grown a fish tail. Doesn't this indicate that she has strong underwater mobility?
Unless, when new players come in, they either threaten the original status of the old players, or bring some resource packages that need to be fought over.
Qiao Song soon found out that it was the latter.
In the area covered by the seagull corpses, Qiao Song soon heard the sound of players spitting bubbles, which was much clearer this time.
"Fuck, such a complete fish tail, are you sure this is just a prop and not a skill?"
The other woman's voice was quite confident: "I have tested it. Her professional skills are all related to physical work. Hasn't your seagull already tested it? They are all tool-related things. Such a strong ability to move underwater, this should be some special suit."
[HR, human resource management, you need a pair of eyes that can discover the professional strengths of others. ]
[Ding——Due to environmental and other factors, the observation results may be biased. At present, it is determined that the other party's occupation is a basic maintenance and demolition occupation project, which is applicable to a variety of jobs. 】
This is the first time that HR has discovered such a versatile profession.
The man leading the way asked cautiously as he entered: "Such a useless profession, is the jar on her body useful?"
"Yes, her profession is very ordinary, but the jars she opened are very valuable. Our underwater resources are depleting so quickly. If we can deal with this guy, we won't be afraid of running out of tools when we go to the coral later."
The man believed the HR's words and clapped his hands decisively, as if to wake someone up: "Principal, the exam is about to start, wake up and use your skills."
While the man was speaking, several more seagulls came out from his floral shirt and continued to harass and attack in the direction of Qiao Song.
Qiao Song frowned and quickly locked onto the direction in which the player was speaking based on what he heard.
She swung her strong fish tail and was about to find an opportunity to rush over and catch the opponent off guard when she suddenly heard a system reminder.
[Ding Dong——The first monthly exam of Chunlai Middle School has begun! This exam lasts 30 minutes. Any cheating methods and props are prohibited during the exam. You can complete the exam when the exam time is over or you hand in the paper in advance! ]
Qiao Song suddenly felt a strong sense of suffocation underwater. Her fish tail, the fins by her ears, and the gills on her neck all instantly melted into the water like foam.
At the same time, there was a test paper floating in the air.
——Her transformation props actually failed.
Her vision, which was originally highly transparent underwater, suddenly became blurry, and she could only see two colorful figures.
The man in the eye-catching flowered shorts had a bubble covering his head. He blew out another bubble like an underwater sailor: "She won't drown directly like this, right? Get her down first and let her continue to use her skills, otherwise it will be difficult for us to get the jar."
HR nodded solemnly, and glanced with some fear at the dozing old man next to the flowered shorts.
The skills required for this exam are indeed very powerful. Most players do not have the ability to move underwater and basically rely on props to survive.
Although the principal is an old man over 50 years old with poor mental state and sleep, once the examination room skills are deployed, everyone's props will become invalid.
If she hadn't actively cooperated with Hua Kucha and been assigned an invigilator badge, she wouldn't have been able to use the props.
The HR, wearing a black business suit and with a transparent bubble on her head, swam forward for a while and threw out a special document from the water.
【Temporary Worker Recruitment Contract】
[After joining the company, you can obtain protection from blisters by completing the required performance. ]
A player who has already lost his props and is about to drown in the water will sign this kind of contract without hesitation.
What HR needs to do is to let the player continue to use his skills and then actively save more jars to open.
HR threw the document into the water that had been polluted by the seagull before, and asked Flower Pants to quickly let the seagull hand the document to the drowning woman.
Flower Pants supported the old man who was surrounded by bubbles but not in good spirits: "OK, I'll be right there."
[Sunny beach, flowery shorts and the store owner]
[Summoning the loyal seagull friends of the beach owner. The number of seagulls summoned this time is 10. Please note that you already owe your dear seagull cubs 10 pizzas and 20 boxes of French fries. Remember to replenish them in time, otherwise they will make trouble! ]
Flower Pants' face immediately fell, he didn't know why seagulls loved to eat these junk foods so much.
The skill buffer ended, and several seagulls flew out from his back.
He was either talking about French fries or pizza.
But he still obediently flew to the HR and dragged the contract into a pool of water that looked like Wahaha nutrient solution.
HR said with some envy: "Your seagulls move about in the water just as they do on the shore. Conceptual creatures are great."
Flower Pants' face twitched: "It's useful, but it's too greedy. You don't know that after I came to the Infinite Highway and awakened the beach store skill, I mostly fried French fries and baked pizza every day to make sure these stupid birds are well fed, otherwise they will take my pants away tomorrow."
The corner of HR's mouth twitched, and soon she frowned: "Why did it take so long this time? Did Seagull deliver the things?"
Flower Pants closed his eyes and felt it for a while: "It has been delivered to the other party."
Soon, his expression became a little strange: "These stupid birds seem to be in a weird state."
HR calculated the time from when the woman in the water lost her props to when she was about to drown, and noticed something unusual: "I hope she didn't really drown. Can the seagull tell that the woman is still awake?"
As she spoke, she swam forward a few times. It was obvious that her purpose was not to force the player to death, but to make her continue to use her skills and produce more jars...
Flower Pants' expression changed again and again: "These stupid birds seem to be eating something. Damn it, they should not develop the habit of eating people!"
Flower Pants' paddling speed increased instantly. HR wanted to chase him when she saw him running so fast, but her professional instinct made her feel that something was wrong, so she didn't dare to follow him immediately.
Before, when I was far away, HR only felt that the skills of this drowning female player were just those of an ordinary maintenance worker. Now that I am close, I feel a very strange sense of oppression...
The area covered by the white mist seemed to hide something that could directly affect the effectiveness of her skills.
A tablet suddenly appeared in her hands.
[Ding——Vocational skills are being checked, 75% are heavy manual laborers, 87% are mental workers...]
When the second half appeared, her heart instantly sank.
HR's skill judgement is a professional attribute. Generally speaking, the closer to the target, the higher the accuracy. She is now a little doubtful whether she has underestimated this player. Why is the frequency of using brain power higher than physical power?
Flowery Pants swam in for a long time without saying anything. Could something have gone wrong?
She looked back and saw the old principal floating in the water in the distance.
The examination room skills were still within the time limit, and the female player's props became ineffective as she watched.
She has also tested the opponent's skills and it has nothing to do with underwater.
It's okay, it shouldn't be okay...
She swam to the area blocked by the white water and indeed heard the cooing sounds of seagulls inside.
"…Pao…"
There was a series of gurgling bubbles. HR felt the tablet in his hand quickly getting hot like a soldering iron.
At that moment, she felt a chill on the back of her neck and almost wanted to step away, but she saw a line of words appear on the screen.
[…Professional skills test completed…BOSS Direct Recruitment reminds you…your company does not meet any of the requirements to recruit him…]
HR's mind went blank. She saw the tablet in her hand break into two pieces and felt a buzzing sound in her ears.
A light blue hand of similar skin color, with silver-white fish scales on its arm, grabbed her neck like a ghost.
HR saw a pair of eyes that almost no human has. The silver-white pupils were as clear as crystal, mixed with indifference and undisguised murderous intent.
Also, there is the tail and the toe...
The HR, who was almost fainted after being strangled by the neck, first reacted by wondering if the old principal’s skills had lost their effectiveness.
How come this guy has grown a fish tail again, and it’s bigger and more gorgeous than before. Every luster on the scales shows not beauty, but strength.
HR had no doubt that if the other party wanted to, it would only take a second to crush her neck.
"So, you want me to open the jar."
The cold voice was like a sea snake sticking to one's cheek.
No, it wasn't a sea snake. HR saw the kelp swimming like a snake, just behind the mermaid, piercing the mouths of several seagulls like a spear.
I don’t know if those seagulls are too greedy. At first they just wanted to eat kelp, but now the whole thing has become grilled bird on skewers.
Their owner, Flower Pants, didn't look too good either. He was tied up with seaweed, with a parasol and a chair floating around him. It was obvious that he had used some skills, but was easily subdued.
HR Ge Jia also felt something very smooth on her body, tying her up like a rope in circles.
The player, who looked like a mermaid but whose movements were tougher than Aquaman, easily poked a hole in HR's bubble mask with his fingertips.
"According to the speed of the water, you have three minutes to buy yourself a chance to survive."
However, HR subconsciously took a look at the white box in the other person's arms.
She understood that the principal's examination skills were not invalid, and two or three minutes were not enough to complete the test paper. This player did not use props, this was her player skill!
This guy has at least two complex careers, which is really hitting the wall.
HR thought about the fact that he failed to detect the skills that were tested, and closed his eyes as if accepting his fate.
Qiao Song changed himself into a more comfortable position, and listened to the woman in front of him, who was about to choke to death because of a leaking breathing mask, and briefly introduced the underwater situation to her.
"Ahem, every player will have a small jar on their body after using a skill. The more times they use a skill, the more jars they will have. Only they can open the jars, and what comes out of them are no longer the gold coins they had before, but cards, all kinds of skill cards."
Qiao Song watched indifferently as HR's limbs were tied and he twisted his body to breathe, but he could only watch in despair as the water in the breathing mask increased little by little.
Qiao Song asked: "Can skill cards be used by other people?"
"Ahem, sure. If you have enough jars, you can take them to the coral stone for a one-time synthesis. Ahem, you can even get, ahem, a skill card with a stronger effect than your original skill."
"The card taken from the coral stone, ahem, can be given to others, gurgle gurgle."
Qiao Song suddenly hooked his finger, and the water in the breathing mask was almost completely submerged, and suddenly, in a very unscientific way, he ran halfway out.
This area should still be covered by a special examination room where the use of props is prohibited, so Qiao Song cannot use props, but they should not be able to use them either.
Qiao Song felt that these guys must have something very special that exempted them from the rule prohibiting the use of props in the examination room.
This breathing mask was probably some kind of special prop. In this case, it replenished enough air very quickly, allowing the HR inside to take a few deep breaths as if he had survived a disaster.
Qiao Song narrowed his eyes and quickly noticed that the HR was glancing at his collar. Qiao Song decisively reached out and quickly fumbled out a work badge from the other person's collar.
[Chunlai Primary School invigilation certificate. With this invigilation certificate given by the old principal, you can use one prop during the exam, but you can only use one! After all, this is an exam.]
When Qiao Song took this thing out, Ge Jia's face turned pale.
She could almost see her own end, but she was unwilling to accept it. She breathed the last bit of air in the mask, trying to find a chance to survive.
"I'm very useful. My job is HR. I can detect other players' skills. I also know a lot of secrets of big guilds and the rules of many underwater games. Please don't kill me. I've already left the company and was kicked out of the guild. Please, I don't want to die. I can't be resurrected..."
Later, she even used her hands and feet to move her body, like a silkworm struggling in the water.
Qiao Song looked at her for a few seconds and asked, "Which guild kicked you out of?"
Ge Jia said without hesitation: "Black Iron...Black Iron Guild, I have been resurrected once, but because I would not have another chance to be resurrected, I was treated as a discarded pawn in the Wu Ma domain and was almost consumed to death, so I escaped. Now I am still regarded as a traitor to the guild."
Black iron?
Qiao Song remembered that Wu Ma had mentioned before that he had trained a successor who was a senior member of Black Iron, but he was poached by Chen Long's domain with better conditions. The remaining ordinary union members were all treated like slaves in Wu Ma's domain and became ordinary consumables.
There were actually smart people who ran out early.
Those who know the resurrection game and have been resurrected once can keep it.
Qiao Song took out a piece of white paper and handed it to the other person.
"You should be very familiar with this thing, sign it."
Ge Jia felt the seaweed that was binding her suddenly loosen, but the water level in the breathing mask did not stop, but continued to rise. She quickly signed her name before choking on the water.
In addition to shock, she also had a variety of complex emotions in her heart. She didn't expect that after using so many methods, someone would use a higher contract skill to put pressure on her.
For Qiao Song, this is no longer a question of high level.
[Ding——Congratulations on becoming Wu Ma's direct employee. You must obey her direct dispatches in the future. It is detected that she does not trust you very much at the moment. Try your best to gain the boss's appreciation! ]
After Ge Jia signed the contract, he heard a system prompt in his ear and became stunned.
In order to survive, he didn't even read the contract and signed it immediately. What does it mean to become Wu Ma's direct employee? What does it mean to be personally selected by Wu Ma? The player in front of him...
Ge Jia looked up at Qiao Song, then quickly lowered his head.
It is very simple for Qiao Song to give instructions to his employees. Just like system prompts, they can sound directly next to their ears.
Ge Jia stood aside obediently. All the restraints on her body had been untied, and Qiao Song did not take off her invigilator certificate directly to prevent this guy from drowning in the water after the breathing mask became ineffective.
Qiao Song swam towards the man in flowered shorts.
Ge Jia hesitated to speak, not daring to plead for the player he had been working with for a long time. He just reminded Qiao Song: "Boss Hua's skills are more conceptual, and his attack power is not strong, but you have to be careful of the things he summons..."
Qiao Song didn't look back, and gently waved his tail: "He signed the contract faster than you, and now he is being attacked by those seagulls. I will go wake him up, and you go over there to take care of the old principal."
Flowered Pants' profession is related to beaches and the like. As soon as he and Seagull came in, they were tied up by Qiao Song with seaweed.
Qiao Song was holding two boxes in her hands at the time. In her left hand was a toolbox from which she was taking out tools, and in her right hand was a white box that helped her switch professional skills.
[Shirobako - makeup skill loading... The current environment has been detected, and the most suitable transformation suit for this area has been changed for you...]
Qiao Song just performed a great trick right in front of him.
Flower Pants was silent for three seconds. Somehow, he was able to slide and kneel in the water. The alertness and caution on his face disappeared, and he spoke quickly, fearing that Qiao Song would kill him out of impulse:
"Boss, it turns out to be you. We are one family!"
The chainsaw in Qiao Song's hand was only a few meters away from his head. Flower Pants was very proactive. He picked up a piece of seaweed to tie his hands and took the initiative to dive into it, like an otter playing with wool in the water. He was so entangled that he couldn't move. Then he explained:
"Our president told me before that if you encounter a player with two boxes, you must admit defeat in time. Several other people in the guild have also encountered you and described your relevant characteristics."
Qiao Song just stared at him intently, and after a few seconds she asked, "Strategy Team?"
Flower Pants nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, the president is in the territory of the Sheep, and the baby is here with the Rabbit. The president and the team members have told you that no matter who meets you, they must find a way to bring you to her or the baby. She has something to show you."
"Oh, yes. Wawa is the girl who wrote the domineering novel. You should have met her in the Hell Community!"
Flowered Pants chatted diligently for a long time until he saw Qiao Song put down the chainsaw, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he had been very low-key, but it almost got him killed. Fortunately, he remembered what the president said this time.
As a result, when Qiao Song went to meet the HR outside, this guy was almost stuffed to death by his own seagulls eating kelp.
Qiao Song pulled all the kelp back like pulling a rope, and Flower Pants vomited a lot of seawater and seaweed as if choking on water: "Cough cough cough, these damn seagulls, cough cough, why did they suddenly eat so much seaweed?"
The pizza and French fries he had eaten before were his favorites after all. The seagull was part of his skill derivative. If he ate too much, the food would go into his warehouse or even his stomach.
Qiao Song: "I fed it." In order not to kill the pigeons directly and produce white balls to interfere with vision, their abilities had to be restricted.
Flower Pants stopped talking immediately.
When Ge Jia brought the old principal over, Qiao Song realized that this old man, whose powerful skills could directly prevent players from using props, looked abnormal.
Flower Pants explained: "The principal has Alzheimer's disease and he just had an attack these past two days, but his skills are quite useful. I will summon the beach and lounge chairs later so that he can bask in the sun and take a nap."
They did it right away. Although they were clearly in the water, a suspended beach and a lounge chair area suddenly appeared. The boss, who was wearing flowered shorts, helped the principal to lie down, and they basked in the sun for a while. A few minutes later, the old man suddenly seemed to wake up from a nap and blinked his eyes slowly.
He was also wearing the same breathing mask on his face. He slowly sat up and looked at the people around him. He looked like he had just woken up from a dream and was still a little dazed.
Before Boss Hua knew how to explain the current situation to him, the old principal suddenly stared at Qiao Song beside him and asked, "You're back?"
Ni Chunlai looked at her carefully, as if he was looking at an old friend he had known for many years.
He suddenly showed a hearty and relieved smile: "I told you that you would come back, but they didn't believe it."
Qiao Song frowned slightly, and looked stunned: "Principal, do you know her?"
The old principal got down from his chair and began to slide in the water tremblingly.
"Of course I know her. I held her in my arms when she was a baby. She had a very bad temper when she was little. We watched her grow up, and she learned to walk and was curious about everything..." The old principal made a gesture of holding a child.
When he looked at the person in front of him again, he paused again, his eyes a little red.
"...We watched her get married and start a family, and 30 years have passed in a flash...Hey, that's not right, Nizi, why do you still look so young now?"
Hua Kucha listened to the principal's nonsense for a long time, then glanced at Qiao Song carefully. He didn't look like he was in his thirties at all.
He quickly explained to Qiao Song: "It's okay, it's okay. The principal is confused again. His memory is confused and he probably mixed you up with someone else."
Boss Hua pulled the old man back to the chair, ready to bask in the sun for some treatment.
But when Qiao Song passed by the old man, he heard him muttering: "Qiao Qiao, you're back, it's good that you're back."
Since they met, Qiao Song has never said his name.
