Chapter 35 Hearse Transformation Competition
The moment the game horn was blown, the whole park seemed to come alive.
The ground rumbled, and the players sat or stood on the stone pillar platforms, only to see countless dinosaurs of various shapes crawling out from some corner like ants.
At the end of the distant sky, a group of tall long-necked dragons gradually approached. They walked slowly, looking up as they walked to eat the tender leaves on the dense vegetation beside them.
Pterosaurs flew across the sky, and occasionally one or two harsh cries were heard.
A gust of wind blew up the dense green vegetation below, and occasionally groups of mini dinosaurs that looked like chicks could be seen among the serrated leaves.
The immersive Jurassic Park experience is great, but the question is, where are the raw materials for making racing cars?
Many players who came to participate in this dungeon for the first time looked at each other in confusion, always feeling that the information seemed to be different from what they bought.
Isn't it possible to just collect the raw materials and assemble the vehicle at will? What is the situation now?
They are now trapped on this high platform several hundred meters above the ground, and it is a problem how to get down!
But not everyone was running away in panic. Some old players who were already familiar with the dungeon routines, after rushing to the stone pillar platform, also took the time to explore the surrounding environment for a while.
In the end, at least a dozen groups of people, more or less, climbed up to the stone pillar platform, dragging some white bags found in the bushes.
"Oh my god, Huang Maosheng, is there something wrong with the information you bought? This is much more exciting than the last instance I went to!"
The fat guy almost failed to climb up at the last second when he rushed to the platform. He relied on his skills to push himself up with the clay doll.
But fortunately, the three fat men who followed Qiao Song the whole time were quick-eyed and quick-handed and dragged up a few large bags they found in the bushes. Although they only dragged up two, it was better to have something than nothing.
Qiao Song did not take out all the white bags from the toolbox at once, but only took one.
The packaging of this thing feels very thick, and it is obvious that it was placed there by humans. It is either filled with raw materials used in car manufacturing, or some special supplies.
Qiao Song opened the first white bag and soon found several well-sealed bags of bread, sausages and other food inside.
It turned out to be supplies. After all, the location she had just searched was relatively close to the stone pillar platform, and it was unlikely that the authorities would directly place the raw materials for car manufacturing nearby.
In this round of the game, they need to stay in this space for three full days. There is no so-called convenience store supply area here, so food and fresh water resources must be obtained entirely in the copy.
The food that came out of the first white bag was enough for two humans to eat for a day. Xiao Ni was a ghost, and he had eaten some special food before entering the dungeon. According to him, as long as he was full, he would not be hungry for about a week.
"Sister Qiao Song, how about I go down and take a look first? I can travel through the mirror world within a few hundred meters nearby. You can just put a mirror here."
Xiao Ni has always been upset about the fact that he disappeared for a long time in the Ghost Story Middle School. In this copy, when he saw the special environment around him, he wanted to go down first. After all, compared with human flesh and blood, ghosts like him would be much less attractive to dinosaurs.
Qiao Song took out another white bag and this time took out three bottles of water.
"The dungeon has just begun, so don't rush. Let's observe the movements of other players. Someone must have bought more information than us. Since those big guilds are here to build cars for their own members, they will definitely spend more time looking for resources. There is no need for us to go down so early and step on the minefield for others."
Qiao Song opened three more bags in one breath, and in the end all he got were food and water, enough for them to eat for three days until the copy was over.
Something is wrong.
She pinched the last piece of ham that was as big as two fists and opened it from the white bag. She always felt that this thing might not be meant for human consumption.
After all, the drop rate of food supplies is too high. Even without her space storage function, as long as a group is assigned at least two members, anyone with some strength will not have to worry about food.
The copy was so kind as to place all the food supplies near the stone pillars?
This doubt had just appeared in her mind for a while when she heard a commotion coming from a nearby platform. After a few rough dinosaur roars, the roars of fear from humans were heard.
"What the hell are you going to do? It's not even 12 hours yet. Why are the dinosaurs attacking already?!"
They saw a giant pterosaur attacking three players on a platform near them.
While Qiao Song and the others were fighting, the player used a skill and seemed to have hit the pterosaur, but the pterosaur also hooked something on the platform with its claws before escaping.
I saw a familiar white bag flying down from the platform, and the pterosaur finally flew away contentedly with something in its mouth.
It turns out that these foods were for dinosaurs to eat?
No, it is these foods that attract dinosaurs, and those players may not have even opened the packaging of the food!
It has only been a few minutes since entering the dungeon, and no player would be brave enough to put something into his mouth that he has not yet confirmed to be food.
So the most likely possibility is that as soon as these foods are taken out of the white bag, they will immediately attract dinosaurs!
Every time Qiao Song opened a white bag, she would stuff the contents back into the net bag and put it into the toolbox, so all she had in her hand was a large piece of ham that she had just opened.
"You two, hide under the frame!"
Xiao Ni obeyed without hesitation. Tang Xiaoxiao also ran away very quickly, but she was ready to use her skills to assist her sister Qiao Song at any time.
When Qiao Song saw a huge pterosaur flying in the sky above their heads, which was even stronger than the platform just now, she only put the ham into the net bag at the first moment instead of putting it directly into the toolbox.
Judging from the current height of the stone pillar platform from the ground, the first wave of dinosaur attacks in 12 hours can only come from an air raid.
She had to assess the combat effectiveness of this flying dinosaur.
The pterosaur's mouth was like two serrated splints, and at the end of its wings covered with film were two sharp and pointed claws. The flapping wings of the pterosaur directly cast a shadow over most of the platform.
Tang Xiaoxiao's skills have a cooling time. Every time a book is used, the number will be reduced by one, but as long as Qiao Song's hammer is not lost, he can continue to use it.
Holding a huge demolition hammer in her hand, she stepped back a few steps to make room for the net bag. As expected, the pterosaur didn't even look at her and went straight for the ham in the net bag.
After landing, the pterosaur did not take the food away directly like the one that had a conflict on the platform just now. Instead, it grabbed the net bag on the spot, tore the packaging bag, and actually enjoyed the huge piece of ham on the spot.
Qiao Song originally planned to attack directly with a heavy hammer, but she found that this pterosaur, which was well fed, had no intention of leaving or attacking. It just kept staring at her stupidly, as if it was digesting its food on the spot.
etc--
Qiao Song suddenly put away the sledgehammer in his hand, and then, in front of the puzzled gazes of Tang Xiaoxiao and others, he walked towards the giant pterosaur that occupied half of the platform without any weapons or protection.
Sure enough, just now he was busy waiting to find a place that would be more convenient for attacking. After Qiao Song restrained his murderous aura, he found that the huge pterosaur, which had red eyes and was full of aggression before, now had its long and slender tail feathers dragging behind it, gently swaying like a dog, as if it had eaten its fill and was in a very happy mood.
Seeing Qiao Song coming over, this big guy turned his head, opened his mouth and cackled twice. Although the sound was still hoarse and unpleasant, it seemed to have a bit more of a friendly meaning.
As if to say: Sister, do you have any more ham? Give me some more.
Qiao Song looked at its tail, then looked at the big fool who had eaten his fill. She suddenly walked over quickly, and without any hesitation, she flipped over and sat on the pterosaur's back.
The former did not resist at all, but slightly arched his body and grabbed the ground, making a posture ready for takeoff.
Tang Xiaoxiao, who was hiding near the frame, widened her eyes: "Sister Qiao Song, you——"
Amid her exclamation, Qiao Song grabbed a circle of flight feathers on the pterosaur's neck and made a kicking motion as if he was riding a horse.
The pterosaur spread its membranous wings, let out a long roar, and instantly lifted her into the sky.
The wind whistling in his ears blew away the loose hair on his cheeks. Qiao Song had delivered takeout on a scooter when he was in a hurry late at night, but he had never felt the feeling of riding on the back of a dragon and traveling through Jurassic Park like he did at this moment.
Very cool, and the view is great.
She grabbed a handful of wind and could even feel the moisture between her fingers as she passed through the clouds.
The background design of this dungeon is indeed very realistic, whether it is the weather, vegetation, or animals.
The height of the stone pillar platform is so high that except for some players with special flying abilities, most people would probably have a hard time getting up and down the platform.
The food in the white bags is not all for human players to eat, but can also be used to bribe the only pterosaurs that can fly freely onto the stone pillar platform.
The player on that platform before might have taken the initiative to attack the pterosaur and scared the other party away.
Qiao Song grabbed the feathers on the dragon mount's neck and gently pulled it to the left. The clever big guy immediately turned around and flew to the left. There was a denser jungle over there, and in the distance was a brachiosaurus eating tender leaves on the treetops.
This long-necked dinosaur, which is almost equivalent to the ancestor of giraffes, is a very docile herbivorous animal. As long as you don't provoke it, there is basically no danger. Qiao Song chose to visit all the dinosaur areas in the entire map first to determine where vehicles and supplies might appear.
While she was taking off and browsing the map, many players on the platform also discovered the wonderful uses of food.
When those pterosaurs approach, as long as you don't actively attack them, they will stop where they are after eating and drinking. Seize the opportunity, jump onto their backs, and you will have a short chance to fly.
However, this flight duration seems to be affected by food. After a previous fight with the pterosaur, the players whose food was taken away took out a few slices of dry bread. Not only did they fail to keep their mounts, but after the pterosaur wanted to eat the dry bread, they fought with the opponent and became enemies.
The yellow-haired guys who were not far from Qiao Song and her team's platform followed suit. After receiving Qiao Song's text message, they decisively picked out the largest bag of sausages from the two white bags and threw it onto the platform.
Soon a flying mount of not small size came down. The three of them had discussed it in advance and finally let Wang Xiang get on.
After all, Qiao Song had just said in the text message: "If pterosaurs can be considered flying devices, then Wang Xiang's abilities in your group will be of great use."
After players on the stone pillar platform gradually found the trick to capture flying mounts, Qiao Song had already followed the pterosaur and landed in an open area not far from the sand.
After flying for about 20 minutes, the pterosaur was already sharpening its claws anxiously. Qiao Song took out a bag of pure meat sausage from the net bag. After the pterosaur ate it, its eyes became clear and stupid again.
Got it. The Pterosaur brand biological aircraft consumes 500 grams of bacon per kilometer.
After landing, Qiao Song immediately calmed down his mount which he would use to escape, and then he entered the primeval forest adjacent to the sand again with the hammer in his hand.
She had observed this area from the air. There were many pterosaurs nearby, and it was also a place where long-necked brachiosaurs would often come to eat. The possibility that there were predatory dinosaurs hiding in the jungle was very small. After all, the big feet of the brachiosaurs would come over and step on the area from time to time, and no small predator could stop them.
Not to mention that it’s only the first day and there shouldn’t be any large carnivorous dinosaurs appearing.
So, in this place far away from most of the players' stone pillars, she searched for three or four large white bags without any hindrance and put them into the toolbox, and quickly found the first car raw material of the day under a big tree.
【C-grade raw materials: tires】
The tires were placed very conspicuously, and there was even a huge Hearse Entertainment Company emblem on the big tree next to them.
If there are C-grade raw materials, there must be B-grade, A-grade, and even S-grade raw materials. The quality of raw materials that are displayed openly and even have billboards should be very average.
Since he was already here, Qiao Song put the things into the net bag and put them in the toolbox. After thinking for a while, he picked up a bunch of dead wood, put it in the net bag and took it away.
In this primeval forest, apart from some tall and strange vegetation, there were occasionally brightly colored wild fruits. She didn't know which ones were edible and which ones were not, but she took some of any food that showed signs of being bitten.
While collecting these things, Qiao Song would occasionally meet the eyes of some palm-sized mini dinosaurs in the grass. Those little guys were similar to lizards, and they would run away as if frightened when they saw her.
She looked at the signs that some fruits on the branches had been eaten, and decisively packed a large pile of these things as well.
When they returned to the empty sand, the pterosaur had already thought about taking off early and leaving the old passenger behind. Qiao Song decisively took out a bag of freshly opened prawns from his pocket. This time, the pterosaur ate very happily and almost snored.
How can such a mount be like a puppy? She couldn't help but touch the pterosaur's chin. The latter did not resist, and its big round black eyes were full of obedience.
After jumping onto the dragon's back again and returning, Qiao Song landed at several other seemingly safer locations and took out two grade B car body parts from them.
But this time their luck was not so good, because that area was the activity area of Triceratops. This guy had three long spikes on his forehead and nose tip, and a large shield on the back of his head. He had a more irritable temper than other herbivorous dinosaurs and would have some stress reactions to creatures that invaded his territory.
Qiao Song ran all the way with the hammer in his hand, but he never hit any dinosaur with the hammer. Instead, after jumping onto the back of the pterosaur, he threw down two slices of dry bread.
One of the Triceratops that chased her the most fiercely became visibly docile after eating the bread.
Qiao Song understood: most of the food in this arena is much more useful to feed dinosaurs than to feed himself. After all, a piece of bread and a bottle of water can only fill your stomach, but two slices of bread can bribe a dinosaur weighing more than ten tons to clear the way for you.
If this could tame a large group of people in one go...
On the way back, Qiao Song, who was considering various ways to pass the level, could see that many players had learned to ride pterosaurs to leave the stone pillar platform. If it was just a resource collection competition, then this game was not that difficult. The key was how to discover the function of food as quickly as possible and achieve a balance between collecting and consuming.
But Qiao Song felt that it would not be that simple. After all, the person with the microphone had said before that this was a grand entertainment show, and where there was a show there would be an audience.
So where is the audience?
The first ten hours or so of the game were the calmest time. All players understood the importance of transportation and almost all of them were collecting food as much as possible to attract the pterosaurs' attention.
If you come into conflict with other groups at this time, you will miss the best time to accumulate resources in the early stages.
Until the time gradually approached the 11th hour when the copy started.
At this time, Qiao Song had already pieced together half of the car body shell, and she had also used the two C-grade tires. The finished product might not necessarily use things of this grade, but she wanted to try out the final number of parts needed to complete a car first.
Each group will be distributed a car card with three areas of red, yellow and blue on it, showing different categories of parts. Blue represents the shell, yellow represents the chassis, and red represents the most core engine and other items.
Where she found the tire before, the Hearse Entertainment logo was yellow, representing an accessory belonging to the vehicle chassis.
The scores of each car's parts after completion will fluctuate on their personal cards at any time. Now the car they assembled only scores 19 points.
"So, to assemble a complete car, you need about 30 to 50 parts."
Tang Xiaoxiao nodded and took notes beside him: "But Sister Qiao Song, if we use half of the C-grade materials, and only add a small amount of B-grade materials, it seems that we can reach the passing score."
What she wanted to say was, wouldn’t this be too simple?
"Besides," Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh as she touched the free vehicle frame, "This frame looks so brittle."
The frame distributed for free by Hearse Entertainment was like a toy given to novice players. The texture was very strange and did not look entirely like metal. Qiao Song tapped it with his fingers and even felt that the white, hard texture was a bit like the bones of something.
But how can bones be transformed into such a complete frame shape?
At this moment, the voice of an orange-haired girl shouting could be heard from the platform not far away.
"I told you I wanted to make an ice cream truck! This stand is so ugly, it can definitely be modified!"
The Doberman standing next to the frame bared his teeth impatiently: "Didn't you say you wouldn't participate in the road race this time? Why did you change to an ice cream truck?"
"Oh, I see there are a lot of big guilds coming this time, so I'll try to get a higher score. If they use our car, it can be a good advertisement for our business."
Gao Chengcheng happily took out a prop card with a picture of flames on it.
"I don't lack props anyway. This ugly stand is too unpleasant to the eyes. I'll melt it and make a beautiful ice cream truck."
[The flame of the weapon refiner used exclusively in Xianxia novels]
[This is a special flame that can both dissolve everything and shape everything. Any hard object can be molded into a soft chewing gum by this flame, but please note that it is only effective for 30 minutes. After the time is up, the shape cannot be changed unless you take out another expensive flame.]
"I traded a lot of these with that novelist last time. When I make a version for other players, who knows, someone might come to us to buy item cards."
The Doberman looked at his money-loving sister in silence, and finally could only sigh, squatting aside to take a break and observe the conditions of other platforms.
This sight made the dog frown.
After getting the mount, many teams had already completed half of the body of the vehicle in advance, but the fast progress on the first day of the game was not a good thing. He looked at the dinosaur group that was obviously becoming denser in the distance, and subconsciously reminded his sister.
"Pay attention to the time. The first round of dinosaur raid will begin in less than an hour."
Gao Chengcheng, who was having a lot of fun playing with the car frame as if it were chewing gum, waved his hand without turning his head: "I know, I know, I'll remember it in my mind and I'll be done soon."
Unlike the brother and sister who were doing things according to time, Qiao Song let Tang Xiaoxiao hide in the car 20 minutes in advance.
She sat on the edge of the platform and looked down, holding a brand new car rearview mirror in her hand.
These spare parts brought in from outside the copy cannot directly replace the raw materials needed for hearse modification, but they can be used as other auxiliary props.
Xiao Ni's voice came from the smooth mirror: "Sister Qiao Song, it seems that all the white bags in this area have been emptied, but I also saw some small dinosaur footprints on the ground. The dinosaur group that disappeared before may have appeared in our vicinity."
As a ghost, Xiao Ni knew that he would be much less attractive to dinosaurs, and he could quickly return to the stone pillar platform, so it was appropriate for him to come down and explore the way at this time.
After all, the possibility of encountering players now is very low, so everyone returned to the stone pillar platform in advance to prepare for the dinosaur attack.
Suddenly, Xiao Ni said with a puzzled look, "Sister Qiao Song, I found something very strange..."
A big black ball is hidden at the root of a tree. It looks like an egg?
Qiao Song saw the scene on the other side of the mirror through Xiao Niju's lens. When she saw the familiar company logo in the corner of the tree root, she said decisively: "Try to see if you can bring the things back."
After Xiao Ni made his hands transparent, he put the big black thing into his stomach. Just as he was about to go back to the platform through the mirror, he suddenly heard a familiar rhythmic drum beat coming from the sky.
"Clang clang clang! Our dinosaur raid will begin in 5 minutes. Before that, let's announce the first round of player rankings.
Wow, a player has already created a basic vehicle with a score of 50! Let’s turn the spotlight on the Gao Chengcheng team, which currently ranks the highest in this field! "
Gao Chengcheng, who had just finished the finishing work on rebuilding the frame, was exposed under the spotlight with a confused look on her face, but she still calmly waved and greeted the people around her.
Seeing how skilled they were, all I had to do was hand out a business card and ask everyone if they wanted to come here to learn the techniques of shaping the frame, and buy a few prop cards to take back.
And right after that, the microphone wearing a red cape announced the top three groups of vehicles in the 50 stone pillar platforms, as well as -
"Let's take a look at the group with the most resources. The top-ranked team has already prepared 29 portions of food! The second-place team has 16 portions, and the third-place team has 12 portions."
Three beams of light hit three different platforms again, and the brightest one hit Qiao Song.
She had been wondering where the audience was, and finally she realized that everything they did in this arena was being watched.
Those spectators seemed like a pair of eyes in the sky, high above, examining and watching everything.
This feeling of being watched...
Qiao Song blocked the spotlight on his face with his hands, and his expression became a little unpleasant.
At the same time, she also felt the deep malice of the copy officials. Before each dinosaur attack, the three groups with the highest vehicle scores and the group with the most accumulated food would be announced first, which would play a good role in fanning the flames.
All that’s left is to write “fighting and killing” on the wall.
Okay, okay, you like watching people fight, right?
Ignoring the prying eyes from other platforms, she took out a sledgehammer from the toolbox with murderous intent.
At this time, the countdown in the sky also reached the first "12-hour node". Countless loud dinosaur roars echoed throughout the sky, and the first wave of dinosaur attacks came.
