Chapter 187: Spirit Exploration Live Room
The oppressive air seemed to condense into a solid entity.
After being hugged by the invisible body, Xu Zhiyan subconsciously put his hands in front of him, trying to push away the thing that was nibbling on his neck.
His thoughts were confused and he couldn't imagine what he was being licked by.
Although it felt sticky and slippery, as a human being, Xu Zhiyan knew very well that there was a 99% chance that the two tongues licking his neck were not human tongues.
Because no one’s tongue is so long and powerful!
There was nothing in front of me except a row of empty shelves.
Stay calm, Xu Zhiyan told himself.
If the red words in the barrage represent abnormality, then it means that Xiao Tou Ming has entered an abnormal state since last night.
But in order to protect the props, he did not let Xiao Tou Meng come out of the videotape, so he failed to notice anything unusual.
But when did Xiao Tou Ming completely change into a different form from humans? What was the reason? He had clearly entered a mysterious place with Xiao Tou Ming the day before.
Xu Zhiyan suddenly thought that he had never met "them" on the road during the day, but he would run into them from time to time at night.
...It's purification!
If the room represents purification, then although the little transparent person sneaked out of the room on the first night, he did not mutate on the spot and disappeared honestly during the day on the second day.
The purification of the room is not only effective for the players, but also for 'them'.
But figuring out the function of the room did not improve the current situation at all.
"etc……"
Pushing his elbow outwards, Xu Zhiyan tried to create some distance.
However, his resistance seemed to irritate the little transparent person.
Suddenly, an invisible hand stretched out from nowhere, clamped his wrist, and directly resolved his resistance.
Xu Zhiyan froze in place.
Something is wrong.
If Xiao Tou Ming's two hands were around his waist, then whose hands were those that just reached out to pull his wrists open?
A not-so-nice idea came to my mind.
But there has been no substantial damage so far, so Xu Zhiyan did not attack rashly.
"Xiao Tomo, is that you?"
He tried shouting twice, but there was no answer.
There was a faint licking sound in the air. Just by listening to the sound, one could imagine the water stains and traces of ambiguity.
Next, more strange limbs surrounded Xu Zhiyan.
There's more than just hands and tongues.
He even felt a scaly tail...
Damn, although Xu Zhiyan had some doubts at the beginning whether this guy was still a nobody, but when he felt the familiar texture of the scales, he was now sure that this guy was a slice of ghost.
It’s just that the current situation is a little difficult for him to understand.
Although he couldn't see it, but based on the feeling from his body, he could be sure that the little transparent one was probably no longer in human form.
The opponent was more like a monster made up of countless limbs.
He even touched a few feathers...
After waiting for a while, the transparent monster that was licking his chest finally stopped.
Xu Zhiyan could feel himself being embraced again, with invisible torsos filling all directions.
A chin rested cautiously on his shoulder.
He heard the voice of Xiao Touzi.
"...to protect...you"
Hoarse and low, but firm and powerful.
For some reason, Xu Zhiyan felt relieved.
Unlike the tone of ghosts and gods, he always felt that he had heard these words somewhere, but he could not remember where they were.
In the live broadcast room, the audience was just as confused as Xu Zhiyan, but after all, it was a God’s perspective, and some people keenly noticed the problem.
[Oh shit, what the hell is this. ]
[I feel it is very bitter, but I can't tell where it is bitter. ]
[So what happened just now? Why do I always feel like something has wrapped up Xiao Baiwan? ]
[Going back upstairs, probably to treat the wound. ]
[Wounds? What wounds? I didn’t see Xiao Baiwan injured.]
[…I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to call it a wound, but just now when Xiao Baiwan was moving A4 paper, he didn’t even let go of the exhibits and carried a large stack of them. The edge of the paper was too sharp and it got stuck on Xiao Baiwan’s collarbone, leaving a bloody mark.]
It turned out that Xu Zhiyan accidentally scratched himself when he was sweeping just now.
But the wound was too shallow and there was hardly any bleeding. He simply glanced down and didn't take it seriously. To an infinite game player, this level of wound wasn't even considered a wound.
[…Shit, so you guys are watching the live broadcast with a microscope? ]
[Injury? Wound? You call this a small mark a wound? Is that reasonable?]
[But the fact is that Xiao Baiwan seemed to be trapped by something, and then the bloodstain on his collarbone disappeared. It was so weird. ]
[But if we talk about injuries, Cookie Man's injuries are more serious! ]
[Pfft——God damn Cookie Man, it took me a while to realize it, it looks like Yuan Chi will have a new nickname in the future.]
[Ahhh, so to speak, Yuan Chi's injuries are really horrible, like a cookie! ]
[Although this instance doesn't seem that strong at the moment, I feel like it might be split into new instances in the future.]
[Yes, for example, this supermarket on the first floor, cough, although it has been emptied by Xiao Baiwan, the mutation rules here are really a bit scary. If you are injured by a monster, you will be assimilated...hiss.]
Not everyone watching live broadcasts can remember the names of players.
Giving nicknames is one of the audience's hobbies. It can help them remember a certain player and liven up the atmosphere of the live broadcast room. Soon, the audience's discussion of Xu Zhiyan turned to Yuan Chi and the copy.
On the other side, after noticing Xu Zhiyan's relaxation, the transparent monster no longer restrained him and gently let go of his tightly gripped wrist.
Xu Zhiyan waited for a while and moved his wrist, but the little transparent thing did not respond.
After hesitating for a moment, he raised his hand and touched the little transparent head.
At this time, the little transparent boy returned to his obedient state and did not resist at all.
He felt the hair, which was fluffy, and then the eye sockets and nose bridge... ears... mouth.
???
Xu Zhiyan's hand stopped near the little transparent girl's mouth, and his fingertips rubbed back and forth on the other's lips.
Something was wrong. The tongue that licked him just now was so thick. It was not something a human should have. But when he touched the little transparent girl's mouth, it was normal.
Although he was still surrounded by a mess of limbs, Xu Zhiyan had realized that the little transparent person would not attack him, and he became much braver.
"Do you mind if I touch your tongue?"
He spoke in a coaxing tone.
There was no answer, but Xu Zhiyan felt that his finger pressed between the little transparent lips was taken into the slightly opened mouth.
Inside the shivering cold mouth, an honest human tongue lies obediently.
This was the first time Xu Zhiyan touched someone else's tongue so brazenly... No, it should be said that he had never taken the initiative to touch a tongue in his life. Who would have the leisure to touch their own tongue!
After a while, he carefully pulled out his fingers with a strange expression.
Nothing abnormal!
Inside the little transparent mouth is a human tongue that is so ordinary that it couldn’t be more ordinary!
...This realization made Xu Zhiyan a little confused.
So what were those two tongues just now?
What about the rules? Do I still need to be coaxed to sleep?
"So what was that thing that was licking me just now?" After thinking about it for a long time and still not understanding, Xu Zhiyan simply asked directly.
After asking, he felt a little regretful.
Damn, I can already imagine the confused look in the little transparent guy’s eyes.
But then, as if in response to Xu Zhiyan, the thing that had just licked his neck appeared again.
This time, the two tongues had no clear target. One wrapped around the young man's wrist and went up along his elbow, while the other licked Xu Zhiyan's face like a small animal.
The feeling of having the wet and slimy organ rubbed against the skin was creepy.
Xu Zhiyan felt goosebumps all over his body. He couldn't open his mouth again, and a new tongue appeared and wrapped around his calf...
“Stop, stop, stop, stop!”
Xu Zhiyan quickly called a halt.
After these strange tongues retreated, he asked with lingering fear: "What is this?"
Just now, the little transparent head was resting on his shoulders, so these strange organs probably did not grow from the head.
For some reason, Xu Zhiyan actually breathed a sigh of relief.
He simply couldn't imagine that this slice, which had the same face as Party A, could stick out two tongues from its mouth!
After a while, a low and hoarse voice sounded.
"……strength."
It seemed a little anxious, not knowing how to give a more specific answer. In its anxiety, the little transparent body seemed to be changing.
“Ka——”
The crisp sound seemed like a fuse.
Xu Zhiyan suddenly remembered that he still had a prop that was in danger!
This time he easily pushed the transparent guy away and found the videotape that was squeezed away on the side of the shelf.
The crack is much bigger than before.
Red blood continued to flow out from near the videotape, but strangely, the videotape was not completely torn.
Xu Zhiyan reached out to the prop that was about to burst with a heartache...
Before he even touched the videotape, he felt something strange.
It's not the touch of human flesh.
If I had to describe it, it would be more like some indescribable cold material.
And continue down along this.
Soon, Xu Zhiyan touched the little transparent person's wrist.
There was no hand above the wrist, but a cold touch that gradually became thicker.
This touch made Xu Zhiyan silent.
No wonder such a big transparent thing came out from it. The crack in the videotape just expanded a lot but did not break completely.
Xiao Tomoyu wanted to come out, but if he came out directly, the videotape would burst, so he came up with this compromise.
Just stretch out a hand from the videotape, and then split the body and extend it in the form of power?
So the transparent slice doesn't seem to be like a real human with only a body. It is more like a hybrid with countless strange limbs, hands, feet, wings, claws and sharp teeth...
This form of small transparency is very strong. According to the system's habits, usually the stronger the slice, the more restrictions it has.
It seems that Xiao Tou Meng will only remain like this when he is in an 'abnormal' state.
In an instant, Xu Zhiyan thought of a lot.
For example, using the transparent form to directly kill the regular monsters on the third floor.
But the next second, he found that his videotape was about to break.
"Be good, go back first. We'll find a way to slowly get out after we get home." Xu Zhiyan coaxed the little transparent man who had just been released not long ago.
He didn't understand why this guy came out, but he was very obedient.
A few minutes later, the cold air around him dissipated. Xu Zhiyan held the videotape that was almost soaked in blood and sighed deeply.
【name:? ? 】
【Level: ? ? 】
【Introduction:? ……】
[Special reminder: The item is severely damaged, please repair it as soon as possible. ]
A special prompt appeared on the panel of the videotape, and Xu Zhiyan was terrified by just looking at these few words.
"I don't know if I can hold on until the dungeon is finished."
He scratched his hair and was not very optimistic about this.
But an item that can hold slices of ghosts and gods must be at least S-level, right?
After dealing with the little transparent one, Xu Zhiyan finally had time to deal with Bai Jin, the suspected financial sponsor of the other half of the slice.
[Calculated by minutes, depending on how long you want to see me. ]
【31st floor of Broadcasting Building. 】
There was only one reply under his message.
When Xu Zhiyan went to check the value of his gift, he found that the other party had given him gifts worth 50,000, which was equivalent to five correct rules.
Not bad, those who can pay in advance are good sponsors.
However, considering that he did not say how much per minute, Xu Zhiyan tentatively sent a message again.
【Just ten minutes? 】
Although it was a bit shameless, he really wanted to know how much money Bai Jin on the screen had.
But unfortunately, the other party did not reply to his message.
And considering that the suffix this time did not have (green) added and the handwriting was bright red, Xu Zhiyan did not try any further and simply sent a reply.
【I will come to see you tonight. 】
It would be a bad idea to be trapped in the mall now, so we might as well wait until the sun goes down and go take a look before ten o'clock.
Broadcasting House? Interesting.
After returning to the rice and flour area, Xu Zhiyan checked on Yuan Chi's injuries and took some medicine to rest for a while.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the red light outside the window began to fade.
The sun is about to set.
After resting for a few hours, Xu Zhiyan stood up, stretched, and prepared to go to the second floor.
Before leaving, he first put away all the folding beds, tied the bad pillow to Yuan Chi's head with a plastic rope, stuffed him into a shopping cart, and pushed it near the gate.
After spending the whole day smoothly and seeing that it was getting dark, Yuan Chi relaxed a lot and even his mood improved a lot.
"It's over. I can't live without this pillow for the rest of my life." He was more optimistic. He stretched out his intact hand, poked the pillow and joked.
Xu Zhiyan tied an ugly bow behind Yuan Chi's head and answered casually.
"It's okay, just be careful in your next life."
After dealing with the customer, Xu Zhiyan came to the escalator and quietly stood on it.
According to the information provided by Yuan Chi, only the third floor of the mall is a regular place, and the rest of the land is theoretically an ordinary area where mutations may occur.
As soon as he went upstairs, Xu Zhiyan discovered something unusual.
On the dim second floor of the mall, shadows would occasionally move around… they were clothes.
"Tsk, you can go shopping for clothes by yourself?"
He complained quietly beside the escalator, and seeing that his clothes didn't react, he half-knelt and walked to the cashier counter at the escalator entrance.
Yuan Chi said that these people have no vision and can only rely on hearing. The escalator is loud, so it is relatively safe here.
But it was really difficult for Xu Zhiyan to move around in the quiet mall to search for supplies without making any noise.
However, before coming up, he had already considered the possible situations that might occur.
There are not many clothes wandering around on the second floor, and they make slight noises when they walk.
He took out a stainless steel basin from his bag and poured the opened bottle of mineral water into the basin. Xu Zhiyan carried the basin and walked slowly towards the booth at the edge of the second floor.
The booth was surrounded by pots and pans, as well as a number of stainless steel basins. It seemed that the home appliance area was always offering a promotion where old appliances could be exchanged for pots.
After walking over with the basin, Xu Zhiyan planned his departure route and took out a spoon-like prop.
【Name: Delicious soup spoon】
Possesses the ability to turn water into delicious soup, which is extra attractive to monsters.
After swirling the spoon in the water and watching the clear water in front of him turn into a pot of rich and fragrant soup, Xu Zhiyan suddenly stuffed a handful of sugar cubes into his mouth to replenish his mental strength, and quickly evacuated this place.
When he retreated to the cashier counter, the clothes wandering from the third floor had already rushed to the booth with the stainless steel basin.
The soup that can attract monsters attracts them to come and taste it.
“Bang—ding!”
“Crack…”
Not only clothes, but also a lot of moving standees, people started scrambling for them. Many monsters even accidentally knocked over the pots piled up next to them. The scene was very chaotic and noisy.
Xu Zhiyan took the opportunity to grab the bag and entered the warehouse on the second floor through the side door. This was where the valuables were stored.
Air conditioner, refrigerator, washing machine, stereo, camera, game console.
His left and right hands were full of bags, and he swept all these things into the bags like a bandit in a very short time.
But surprisingly, there is no TV.
Not only was there no television, there were no electrical appliances such as mobile phones, computers, and radios either.
Hearing that the place outside the door where people were scrambling for the delicious soup had become much quieter, Xu Zhiyan glanced around and took out a basin from his bag, intending to follow the same method and make another pot of soup to attract monsters.
But just as he was heading towards the warehouse door, the duty log hanging behind the door caught his attention.
Without any surprise, the above dates are all ten years ago.
There was nothing wrong with the content on the front, it was all various sign-ins, but on the back of the duty log, someone had written a lot of content in red pen, and judging by the tone, it should be the person on duty.
[There are so many customers recently, why do you want to come to the mall to watch TV? I'm so busy, so annoying, don't you have a TV at home? ]
It all started out pretty ordinary.
This notebook seems to be a record of the on-duty staff's casual complaints. There is no content in many pages in the middle. It is just ordinary on-duty content.
[It's so strange, why are there so many customers coming every day when such a big thing happened upstairs. ]
Judging from the content, it was probably from this time that accidents started to happen frequently in the clothing store on the third floor.
But the more he flipped through the pages, the more unusual things Xu Zhiyan noticed.
[Another, another person went upstairs after watching TV, even though the shop upstairs had already been informed that it was closing.]
television?
[Four more people died. The manager suppressed the matter. He will be struck by lightning! ]
[Great, the boss finally couldn't take it anymore, the manager said starting today, all TVs, computers and mobile phones will not be displayed, I have already unplugged them.]
Xu Zhiyan quickly flipped over to the back.
There's something wrong with the TV, and the death toll doesn't match. It seems that in addition to the customers who died on the third floor, many employees also died in accidents.
However, in order to maintain normal business operations, the mall suppressed these matters.
[Help, this is terrible! I want to quit! ]
Starting from this page, the handwriting became chaotic and the person recording it seemed to be very frightened, as if he had encountered something strange.
After turning a few more pages, I found a clue to the matter.
[Today someone cut the power cord of the TV, but it still doesn't work. As long as there are people watching, the TV will light up! How is it possible! ]
[The power is out, great... The manager has already ordered all TVs to be removed from the cabinets, and all computers, mobile phones and radios are no longer for sale.]
【Finally safe.】
The problem seems to be with the TV.
The mall staff finally chose to remove the counters to ensure the safety of everyone.
But the truth is not that simple.
After this page, there are only countless repeated words.
【Why why why why why why why why...】
Every page thereafter was filled with these three words.
The recorder seemed to have been subjected to some kind of mental pollution and became completely insane.
But when Xu Zhiyan turned to the last page, he found that the handwriting was gradually becoming neater, like a person slowly returning to normal from the brink of a mental breakdown.
At the end of the page, there was a line of small words.
【Welcome to watch today’s program】
[This program is exclusively sponsored by Broadcasting House]
...Broadcasting Building?
Xu Zhiyan closed the duty log, took the notebook off the door, and planned to take it back to study it further.
The recorder of this mall obviously encountered some problems.
But from this point of view, the changes in this city should be related to mobile TV, and this radio building is no exception.
Perhaps because he had experienced it so many times, when Xu Zhiyan saw the four words "Radio Building", he was not surprised at all.
The message address in the mobile phone is the Broadcasting Building.
Sure enough, when he found the transparent guy and there was no progress on the safe house, he should have considered the possibility that this slice was incomplete and the other half was in the most dangerous part of the copy.
After putting away the duty log, Xu Zhiyan stood behind the warehouse door and looked around.
After making sure that he had not forgotten anything, he took the basin and prepared to leave. He went outside to do the same thing and take away the exhibits outside.
Even a mosquito's leg is meat. It's better to sell it as scrap than to let it gather dust here.
But when his hand was about to touch the door, an accident happened.
“Squeak—”
The warehouse door was pushed open from the outside!
There were more than a dozen pieces of clothing standing outside the door.
Xu Zhiyan was caught off guard and came face to face with the monsters.
In the live broadcast room, some viewers were shocked by this sudden change.
【Ahhhh, this is so sudden! 】
[I’m afraid of this kind of face-to-face killing. How can I kill so many monsters? If I miss one, I’ll be strangled immediately.]
[…You two shouldn’t be that scared, right? Even though you appeared very suddenly, you shouldn’t be that scared! ]
[Hahahaha, you play infinite games every day, why are you still afraid of monsters jumping on your face? ]
[Fuck, what are you laughing at? It is human nature to be frightened by a monster that suddenly appears!]
[It's instinct, but Xiao Baiwan has something. ]
[? ? Damn, he can stay still? What kind of amazing psychological quality is this? The timid ones will scream, and the brave ones will fight back...]
The surroundings became unusually quiet.
Xu Zhiyan held his breath and came face to face with a group of clothing monsters coming down from upstairs.
It’s not that he can’t win, it’s just that there are too many of them.
Although the lighter can ignite these clothes instantly, at such a close distance, no one can guarantee that the fire of sin will not burn their own head.
The moving clothes rely on hearing.
At first Xu Zhiyan thought that these guys didn’t have very sensitive hearing. After all, the monsters didn’t notice him when he came.
But he stood behind the warehouse door and just flipped through the duty log, and the monsters followed him.
It seems that the sound of the elevator can cover up the surrounding sounds, or in other words, the changes near the elevator are not obvious, but the changes in this place where many televisions were originally stored are strong.
Xu Zhiyan's strong adaptability made even the frequency of his heartbeat not change. Although the monsters arrived at the door of the warehouse, they did not hear any movement.
Soon the monsters scattered around.
Xu Zhiyan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Damn it, if these monsters don’t leave, he’ll suffocate to death.
The monster was dealt with with the simplest means. Just as Xu Zhiyan was hesitantly looking at the stainless steel basin in his hand, wondering whether he wanted to keep these mosquito legs, a human-shaped stand walked over.
This is an advertising billboard selling audio equipment. The little girl on it is holding a Bluetooth speaker in her hands and smiling in a particularly sinister way.
"Pah—"
The human-shaped stand dropped the speaker in front of Xu Zhiyan.
The sound was like a horn.
The clothing monsters that had just scattered away turned around and ran here.
In the live broadcast room, the audience was extremely anxious.
[Fuck! I forgot about this!]
[Although the clothes rely on hearing, the stand can be seen, but it can't make any sound! 】
[Fuck, am I the only one who finds this weird? It actually turned a two-dimensional speaker into a three-dimensional one and threw it out! ? ]
[What are you looking at upstairs? Look at the ground. Although the sound of the falling sound is correct, after the speaker fell to the ground, there were pieces of paper all over the ground.]
[Ah, I don't dare to look at it anymore. Is Xiao Baiwan going to use a lighter? Or other props? If that doesn't work, just put Xiao Tou——]
【……】
[…Ah? Plate?]
Suddenly, the barrage in the live broadcast room stopped.
Xu Zhiyan did not panic at all when facing the monster running towards him. He took out four plates from Yaya's backpack, which were all things looted from the first floor.
"Crack! Pah—"
“Crash…”
Four plates in succession hit the face of the human-shaped stand, fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
A sound louder than a speaker falling to the ground was heard.
The clothing monsters turned around and rushed towards the sign.
Xu Zhiyan took the opportunity to tiptoe towards the elevator.
Outside the window, the red light has completely disappeared, indicating that the sun has set and night has come again.
After the delicious soup that attracted the monsters was gone, many signboards had already discovered him. There wasn't much left on the second floor anyway, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.
Sure enough, when he reached the escalator, the sound of the elevator covered up Xu Zhiyan's footsteps.
As soon as Xu Zhiyan got downstairs, he heard Yuan Chi's voice.
"Boss Xu! It's getting dark! We can finally leave!"
Wounded people are always more vulnerable.
Yuan Chi was placed alone in a shopping cart and stopped in front of the door. Outside, there were constantly moving shadows and strange lights, which made him feel uneasy.
Xu Zhiyan walked quickly to the door, pushing the shopping cart with both hands and soothing her.
"It's okay. Look at how you look now. You're even weirder than the monsters in there. They should be afraid of you."
"...Really, Boss Xu?"
The sky darkened completely and the street lights came on, dispelling the anomaly.
When he breathed the outdoor air again, Yuan Chi felt like he had survived a disaster.
Xu Zhiyan stood on the side of the road, took out his cell phone and looked at Bai Jin's reply.
【good】
Just a brief word, he was not sure what the other party's current state was.
It was exactly 5:30 in the afternoon.
The day and night in this city are of equal length.
There are still four and a half hours until the safety time ends, and Xu Zhiyan really wants to rush to the Radio Building before ten o'clock.
Try not to leave problems that can be solved at a relatively safe time until late at night.
Glancing at Yuan Chi beside him...
With a gray pillow tied to the back of his head, missing limbs and curled up in a shopping cart, he still smelled like biscuits. He looked so pitiful.
Thinking that he had saved a lot of time in judging the characteristics of the clothing monster by using the information given by Yuan Chi, Xu Zhiyan decided to send this unlucky guy to the rental house first, and then go to the radio building.
A few minutes later, on the dead street.
There was a rope tied to the back of a small pink electric scooter, and the other end of the rope was tied to a shopping cart.
Considering that Yuan Chi might die alone at home, Xu Zhiyan finally took him back to his rental house. While looking for a treatment plan, Yu Xiu might be able to lend a hand.
They called Yu Xiu, and the two of them worked together to carry Yuan Chi back upstairs.
"Bang--"
The room door is closed.
The three of them stood at the entrance, Yuan Chi kept thanking Yu Xiu and Xu Zhiyan, and the scene was filled with joy.
However, before Xu Zhiyan could open his mouth and say that he planned to visit the radio building, his game panel popped up and released new news.
"Update reminder?"
Others also received the news, and Yuan Chi couldn't help but scream.
[It has been detected that all players have entered a safe location. 】
[Game adds temporary update: time fast forward]
[Considering that the players are very tired, the next 12 hours will be a vacuum rest time. During this time period, players are not allowed to leave the residential building where they are currently staying. ]
[After the game update is completed, the outside world time will fast forward ten days. ]
An update notification caught all players off guard.
Yu Xiu and Yuan Chi are fine.
The game only says that it will be updated every twelve hours, but it doesn't say at what time they will be updated after these twelve hours. It is possible that they will fast forward to midnight.
"Is it targeting Chang Xingwei?" Yuan Chi immediately thought of the problem.
Yu Xiu nodded and answered shyly.
"His method of breaking through the level is too problematic."
Yuan Chi sighed, took out his cell phone and took a look at it.
"I saw someone in the live broadcast room saying that other anchors are planning to use this method."
This method is really good.
Compared to going through the trouble of entering a ghost-hunting location and almost risking one's life, the method of breaking through by just talking is too easy to imitate.
"His mistake is that everyone can use this method." Yuan Chi said, shaking his head.
The game does not prohibit players from tricking NPCs. If Chang Xingwei uses a method that others cannot imitate, the game may not be so targeted and may at most create some obstacles.
Different from Yuan Chi who is constantly expressing his opinions.
Xu Zhiyan held the phone with a serious expression, and his phone interface was still on a private chat with his sponsor.
What a coincidence.
What a coincidence.
This round of system updates made Xu Zhiyan wonder whether the other party was targeting Chang Xingwei or trying to prevent him from going to the radio building early.
Or is it both?
Looking at the innocent duo still chatting beside him, Xu Zhiyan did not tell them what happened in the radio building.
There are still twelve hours left, so time doesn't seem so urgent anymore.
The three of them sat on the sofa. Yuan Chi took out a state-purifying prop and asked Xu Zhiyan for a bunch of candies.
Facing the two people's curious gazes, Yuan Chi scratched his fingers embarrassedly.
"This item of mine is used to purify the current state, but the amount of mental energy required each time is random. The more serious the state, the lower the success rate."
This purification tool has a 0.1% chance of reducing the mental strength to 0, which would result in death, so he seldom used it before.
Yuan Chi had tried this prop before in the mall.
"There is a new status in my status bar called cookie-like. This should be the reason why my body keeps turning into cookie crumbs."
One attempt almost drained his mental strength. In his confused state, Yuan Chi didn't dare to use it again.
Now that he is back in a safe place and has the supplies provided by Xu Zhiyan, Yuan Chi feels that he can give it a try.
"In my current state, if I enter the spirit exploration site next time, I will definitely die. I might as well take a chance and recover first." He was very clear about this.
After swallowing a handful of candies that increased his mental strength, Yuan Chi couldn't help but sigh.
"The candy in the safe house is really the best supplement I have ever used, and it is cheap. If I had bought the spiritual power supplement from the system mall, I probably wouldn't dare to use this item."
Listening to Tap Water’s recommendation, Xu Zhiyan gave his affirmation.
"Indeed, I hardly use the system to replenish supplies now. Candies not only restore my mental strength, but can also be used to bribe NPCs and fill my stomach when I encounter survival dungeons."
The two of them chatted with each other and praised the products of the safe house.
Yu Xiu listened with his eyes wide open, and Xu Zhiyan stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth.
With the support of supplies, Yuan Chi worked for about thirty minutes and used up more than 1,600 mental powers. He finally cleared his biscuit state. During this period, he once used up his mental power to 1 and almost died.
He held the bill to his heart, trying to numb his wallet with his life.
"It's worth exchanging more than sixteen hundred mental powers for a life. Is my life really worth so much mental power? It's not worth it..." But the effect is not ideal.
Yu Xiu had a favorable impression of this talkative player and spoke to comfort him.
“It’s okay, Brother Yuan. Although you may not be worth so much mental power now, as long as you are alive, it will be worth it one day.” Yu Xiu, who has been hovering in a state of low mental power for many years, has never bought supplies and does not know the price.
Yuan Chi accepted the comfort with a painful look on his face.
Looking at Yuan Chi, who finally had his hands and feet intact, Xu Zhiyan threw the diary he got from the second floor on the table and got down to business.
"This was found on the second floor of the mall."
Although the abnormality happened on the third floor, according to the contents of the duty log, the strange things should have started on TV.
"The anomaly first occurred on the second floor. Every day, many customers go to the mall to watch TV. Even after the incident on the third floor, the number of people going to the second floor to watch TV did not decrease."
Channels, shows, broadcasts…live.
When the related things were connected together, everyone felt that they were getting closer and closer to the secret behind the copy.
"It's still unclear what the content on TV is, but what we can determine now is that it's definitely not a good thing... Hmm, maybe it's some kind of electronically transmitted mental pollution?"
Xu Zhiyan frowned, looking somewhat puzzled.
He recalled that he had indeed never seen a TV in the landlord's house, and he just didn't know whether other residents in the building had a TV at home.
Hearing the question, Yuan Chi exclaimed: "Are you crazy? Are you going to the neighbor's house?"
He did not forget that when he went upstairs, Xu Zhiyan asked him not to speak. Later, when he returned to his residence, he also saw his neighbor secretly observing him from inside the door.
"No talking in the corridor!" he couldn't help but remind.
Xu Zhiyan didn't care too much.
"You can't talk in the corridor, just ask the other party to open the door."
As he spoke, he pulled out some boxes from his bag.
Brand new soymilk machine, electric frying pan, induction cooker, gift paper...
"I'll pack it up later. I'm going to visit our neighbors. Please pack some for the landlord as well. I'll go check upstairs as well."
No one can refuse a gift.
When he was unsure about the composition of his neighbors, Xu Zhiyan planned to take the friendly neighbor route and deliver the gifts as they came.
Outside the window, the light began to change rapidly.
Game time acceleration begins.
Xu Zhiyan was a little nervous and picked up his phone to take a look.
There was no reply. In the private chat window, there was only an "OK" and the other party didn't say anything else.
He made a final struggle and tried to send a new message to the other party.
[I have something to do today, so I may not be able to go. (This message failed to be sent)]
Just as expected, since the system makes the speed inside and outside the building different, the message will definitely not be sent out. As for whether it can be received, that is another matter.
Just when Xu Zhiyan was about to hang up his phone, a new message suddenly popped up in the private chat.
It’s Chang Xingwei.
The other party is also in the rental house, so their time is the same and the players can negotiate with each other.
【Xu Zhiyan! Save me! 】
Chang Xingwei already sensed something was wrong when he was prompted by the system. Now that the update was released, he knew he was doomed!
"Huh? If you ask me to save you, I will?" Xu Zhiyan scratched his hair, looking very disgusted.
Yu Xiu on the side nodded, and Yuan Chi couldn't help but sneer.
Perhaps the message was too stupid, Xu Zhiyan didn't even reply.
But then, Chang Xingwei sent new message again.
[I know you are the best at blowing up the dungeon, please end it early, please end it early, any points will do! I have more than 190,000 points in my hand now, and I still have a lot of props, please, save me. ]
Different from last time.
This time the message was sincere.
Yuan Chi curled his lips and said sarcastically: "You remember to ask for help now? It's too late!"
Xu Zhiyan stared at his phone, frowned and shook his head.
"Not too late, not too late."
"I, Xu Zhiyan, have done good deeds all my life. How can I watch a fellow player die in such a pitiful way?"
As he spoke, he quickly typed a few words.
[It is very risky to end the dungeon early, 250,000, plus one S or two A-level items. ]
Yuan Chi was silent.
While waiting for Chang Xingwei's answer, Xu Zhiyan was in a very good mood holding his phone, but when new message came, his smile froze on his face.
There are two messages in total.
The first one was from Chang Xingwei. As expected, the other party agreed to all the conditions out of desperation.
The other piece of news was about Bai Jin.
You lied to me
Looking at the three angry words, Xu Zhiyan began to wonder whether the half that was invisible was stronger, or the half in the phone.
