Copy 4
[This instance will consume 30 pass coins...]
[Automatically detecting...]
[The player has enough pass coins, and has been released. Remaining pass coins: 30]
Su Wanxing's nerves immediately tensed up. Pass coins were issued every time a dungeon was cleared, and he had never used them before, but he suddenly needed them for the third dungeon.
What happens if there is not enough currency? Will the passengers be denied access? What are the consequences of not granting access?
According to the nature of the game, it wouldn't be an elimination, right? Su Wanxing's heart trembled, and a chill ran down his spine for no apparent reason.
"Welcome to the new world!" A powerful female voice appeared.
Su Wanxing suddenly came back to his senses, and the necessary advertisement before opening the copy appeared in front of him again. If he wanted to skip the advertisement, he needed to activate VIP.
Watching the more than one-minute-long advertisement for the third time, Su Wanxing enjoyed appreciating the graceful figure of the female warrior model.
Suddenly, the ad screen paused and a pop-up box similar to a spam ad popped up with a familiar code on it, which was a classic introductory question bank for learning C language: output hello world.
It just became a fill-in-the-blank question.
int main(void)
{printf("______";
return 0;}
Su Wanxing looked towards the upper right corner speechlessly, and the remaining time of the advertisement was paused!
This means that if she wants to continue entering the dungeon, she either needs to become a VIP member or do boring fill-in-the-blank questions.
It was impossible to open a VIP account, so Su Wanxing could only input "hello world/n" on the horizontal line. As for "/n", it just represented a habit of writing code - a line break.
[Input error]
[Please re-enter]
Su Wanxing frowned, remembering the first second when the commercial started, when the female warrior said welcome to the new world.
She retyped "hello new world/n" and pressed Enter.
The pop-up window disappeared, and the ad started to pop up again. The female soldier continued, "The meaning of survival is self-breakthrough, and the meaning of death is to start over."
Then, the female warrior returned to the state of carrying goods, and this time her equipment was an offensive weapon with a damage of 999.
Su Wanxing stared at the flowing advertisement screen, thinking. What kind of metaphor could the sudden pop-up box and the mysterious words be?
"Hey! Xiao Su! Xiao Su?"
Su Wanxing's empty gaze suddenly withdrew, like a fish that had bitten the bait and was pulled out of the sea.
The flowing liquid washed over his fingers, and the splashing water covered his body. Su Wanxing then realized that he was standing in a store of less than ten square meters.
In front of me is a beverage drinking machine, on the right is an operating table, and on the left... stands a lady in an orange-red employee uniform with a logo called Tianjiao on it.
"Xiao Su! It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, just be quick, there are so many customers today!"
No matter how hard Su Wanxing tried, he couldn't remember who the person in front of him was, so he could only call him a colleague for the time being.
The colleague snatched the cup that was splashed with drink from Su Wanxing's hand, replaced it with a new one and stuffed it into her hand, "A cup of Tianjiao special drink, hurry up!"
Su Wanxing picked up the drink swiftly and glanced outside.
There weren't actually that many people, just two or three impatient tourists braving the scorching sun, urging us to place our orders.
Su Wanxing brought the special drink over, and a white-faced burly man with a stubble on his face took it rudely and said a few words in a foreign language that was difficult to understand.
But based on the bearded man's sarcastic tone, Su Wanxing could tell that his words were definitely meant to insult someone.
"Another serving of salmon! Not thickly cut!" the bearded man yelled.
Strangely enough, Su Wanxing understood this sentence again. She turned around slowly to look for the food plate, but her colleague beside her had already brought it out quickly.
A plate of salmon passed by Su Wanxing's eyes.
!!!
That's salmon?!
Normal salmon sashimi has clear texture, the orange-red meat has almost regular snow-white lines, it is shiny, obviously thick, and smells faintly fishy, but this smell is not strong, instead it is refreshing and comfortable.
But this salmon...
There is more white fat than orange-red flesh, and there are spots of irregular patterns, which looks like a good piece of meat pierced by bullets. There is no fishy smell at all, and occasionally a disgusting burnt smell can be smelled.
But the bearded man happily took it, grabbed a whole piece of salmon with his hairy hands, and stuffed it into his mouth without caring about his image.
The bearded man took a big bite and looked extremely satisfied.
Su Wanxing even saw the cross-section of the salmon that had been bitten open, with half a long piece of "protein" hanging in the air, waiting for the next bite to enter the mouth.
That lump of protein looked like a parasite. Su Wanxing wasn't sure, but it looked disgusting anyway.
"Don't make that expression in front of the guests!" a colleague came over and whispered.
Su Wanxing nodded stiffly, turned his eyes away, and tried his best to control his micro-expressions.
"One serving of sweet shrimp, thank you." A customer ordered.
Su Wanxing saw big lumps forming on the pink shrimp heads, and there seemed to be endless pus flowing out of them.
"Take care, and welcome back next time." After greeting the last customer, my colleague sat down to rest, chattering, "We were already very poor in Area C, and now even seafood is hard to sell, and even fewer people are coming to the beach to travel."
Su Wanxing didn't respond and looked through the small viewing window of the store.
The round sun in the sky was radiating heat continuously, and a few passers-by were standing on the beach not far away.
There is a striking billboard on the blackened beach: Welcome to Area C! You can not only see the beautiful sunset, but also the magnificent sea level rise!
Behind the bright billboard, the vast ocean stretches as far as the eye can see. The sparkling sea surface looks like a pouring starry sky, reflecting the white clouds and blue sky.
A beautiful picture of peaceful times comes into view.
But beneath the beautiful face, there is a strange shadow.
Su Wanxing saw that at the deepest part of the ocean, there was a not particularly conspicuous dividing line, just like the different densities of oil and water, which would create a gap.
There is also a similar dividing line in the sea water now. The sea water on one side is like thick ink that cannot be blurred, while the sea water on the other side is as clear as blue waves and you can see the bottom.
"Well, what can we do?" The lady boss next door had some free time and sat down next to her colleague to chat, "How can ordinary people have a say? If they say they will emit, then they will emit. This saves a lot of money, but only our District C will suffer first!"
My colleague started clipping his fingernails. "So the barren C area no longer has delicious seafood as its top promotional item. Instead, it has started promoting rising sea levels."
The proprietress smiled contemptuously, "I don't know what's so worth watching about the rising sea levels?"
Su Wanxing withdrew his gaze in fear. He was facing nuclear wastewater discharge and rising sea levels right from the start without even a chance to breathe?
She sat down sideways and opened the game control panel with her consciousness.
However, all she got in response was dead silence.
What does that mean? Su Wanxing wondered in astonishment, how could this crappy game short-circuit?
"Excuse me, excuse me!"
"Make way! Routine!"
Su Wanxing was attracted by the sound in front of him.
A group of guards dressed in dark blue uniforms went door to door with plain yellow tape.
There was no writing on the tape, so it was hard to tell what it was for.
Su Wanxing did not dare to ask questions easily and just observed silently.
I saw a guard holding a caliper and casually measuring the wall, while another guard whistled and put tape on it.
"Brother, what are you doing?" a colleague asked.
The whistling guard stopped and said disdainfully: "Once the water level exceeds the yellow tape, we will be closed. Do you hear me?"
"Oh, I see." The colleague agreed. After the guards walked away, she continued, "C District is so unlucky. All kinds of bad things happen to us. There must be new rules. Slums like us are experimental subjects number one."
The lady boss didn't care much. "Tsk, the tape is only knee-high. Business is already bad, even the gods can't stop me from making money."
While the two were talking, Su Wanxing discovered that the sea seemed to be rising. Several waves hit the shore, and gradually, the sea water flooded the beach.
The tourists retreated one after another, and went ashore without much interest to buy food and rest.
"It is said that in Area C, you can see the spectacular sight of rising sea levels every day," a tourist said. "The rate of rise is 2 centimeters per minute."
Su Wanxing listened attentively while being urged by her colleagues to serve the meal. She was like a lonely traveler now, without any memory of the dungeon, and could not open the game panel to check the tasks.
All of a sudden I lost my external motivation.
"Ah?" Another tourist was shocked. "Will it go down after going up?"
The colleague smiled and replied, "Of course it will, it's not that scary."
After finishing this busy period, Su Wanxing found some free time and suddenly discovered a pool of water on the floor of the store.
She was like a migratory bird without a destination, not knowing where to fly, but she knew very well that when faced with a situation like this, she had no choice but to run away.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
My colleague said unhappily, "Go and come back soon."
Su Wanxing took off her apron and rushed out of the store. Her legs, which had been moving at a very fast speed, suddenly lost power.
The current field of vision has become wider, and the entire C area is flat like a piece of paper without any wrinkles.
There are no houses higher than two stories high. All the buildings are made of red bricks and are of very simple design. If there were no glamorous tourists, this place would definitely be an extremely desolate slum.
"Get rich! Scan the map!" Su Wanxing pressed her watch anxiously. The rising sea water had already covered her ankles.
Obviously, the watch seemed to have lost power and was not responding at all.
Su Wanxing breathed rapidly and called out softly, "Big Orange? Little Snake!"
Sunday! Sunday?!
No response at all!
She tried to take something out of the virtual warehouse, but there was no response no matter what she did.
Even the ability to jump through space disappeared out of thin air.
Su Wanxing tried hard to control his panic, waded through the muddy water filled with mud and sand, and returned to the shop.
My colleagues are still busy, trying to earn as much money as possible even if their legs have difficulty swimming in the water.
Su Wanxing reminded, "The water has reached the warning line of the yellow tape."
A colleague glanced at him hurriedly and said, "More work, more pay. Your wages for today have been deducted."
Su Wanxing turned around and went upstairs helplessly. Looking through the second-floor window, the water level was only rising.
Many tourists went up to the second-floor observation decks of different stores and began to experience the joy of the rising water level.
The brave tourists swam in the gradually rising turbid waters, especially the bearded man, who splashed water excitedly and shouted in a foreign language.
A shadow appeared in the murky water, approaching slowly.
Su Wanxing stared at the flashing shadow in the water vigilantly, and saw that the extremely excited bearded man suddenly drowned and sank into the water with a whoosh.
The passionate foreign language disappeared and fell into the water, and a few circular ripples blocked the sound.
The water was silent for a few seconds.
The deadly water surface continued to rise, and a bright red color suddenly emerged from the muddy water, catching the eyes of the onlookers.
