Chapter 196: Spirit Exploration Live Room
【Adjust the time on the desk clock to twelve o'clock. 】
[After the twelve bells ring, those who heard the bells will be recorded. ]
Although the message was perfunctory, Xu Zhiyan still got the recording method given by Bai Jin.
At this time, Bai Jin, who was trapped in the videotape, had not yet realized what would happen if he let Xu Zhiyan in. He just added two new messages ambiguously.
[Don't bring 'them' in, and don't bring videotapes in.]
[I will settle the score with you after I finish dealing with the matter. ]
The human anchor first cheated it out of a lot of gift value, and then turned the tables on it after knowing its identity, using it as a tool and trapping it in the coffee shop on the 13th floor.
However, after hearing the other party's sincere apology, Bai Jin decided to forgive him for the time being.
After all, the stolen power was finally returned. It felt that it was a very tolerant and generous sponsor and should not lose its temper over such a small matter. After integrating the energy, it would be able to regain its original body.
Xu Zhiyan stared at the text message interface, pursed his lips, and looked up at the clock on the table beside him.
After thinking for a moment, he did not act rashly. He leaned against the metal shelf piled with screens, trying to get more information.
[Mr. Jinzhu, what will happen if I go in? ]
Bai Jin did not give him the answer he wanted.
[You don't have to know. If you are bored, you can go in first. I will come to you in about six hours.]
[Inside, you can do whatever you want, just consider it as early adaptation. Since you are so..., I will build a better space for you. ]
Its message is tinged with arrogance and charity.
It seems that humans are just inferior beings in its eyes.
Xu Zhiyan frowned, realizing that he might not be able to get any more information from this slice.
Can't bring 'them' in...
Even the little transparent ones are not allowed.
This slice obviously knows something, or rather, it is very confident in the world it has constructed, so confident that no matter what happens in it, it is not a problem.
Xu Zhiyan closed his phone and thought for a while.
Whether judging from the news or the physical contact in the corridor just now, Xiao Tomoyu is at a disadvantage.
...Bai Jin even gave an exact time, six hours.
It takes six hours to blend the transparent.
It's just past one in the morning. If we count six hours from now, it will be daybreak by then.
Xu Zhiyan called up the panel and looked at the safe house with a progress of '? '. He made up his mind to find the safe house within six hours.
Judging from Bai Jin’s tone, if the other party has completed the fusion, he will definitely rush out immediately!
No, no! He must keep his props!
Taking out a videotape wrapped in a cheap plastic bag from his backpack, Xu Zhiyan said softly, "Little Tomoyu, I'm going to go somewhere now. I'll put you in a safe corner. You wait for me inside."
These words were spoken to Bai Jin.
The other person is in the videotape, and if he doesn't do as he is told, he might be in trouble.
In the room filled with countless monitors, each screen emits a faint light, illuminating the originally dim hall.
The videotapes were tucked carelessly under a metal rack.
Xu Zhiyan found the clock, and with his fingertips he frivolously opened the outer shell, then moved the hands to eleven ten.
There are still fifty minutes until the sound is heard.
He stood in front of the clock, holding up his cell phone, waiting for new news.
Sure enough, the news from my sister arrived as expected.
[Sister: You have found a way. ]
It was a concise and clear statement, mixed with a hint of urging.
After finding that things were indeed as expected, Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips and opened the chat dialog box with Yu Xiu.
[Did Yuan Chi find you? ]
He had some things he wanted Yu Xiu to confirm.
[Found it! But Brother Xu, we just lost contact with Chang Xingwei while chasing after the zombies. Where are you now? We're going to find you!]
Yu Xiu, who had already heard what Yuan Chi had to say, didn't say any more.
Xu Zhiyan quickly stopped the other party from coming up to find him and sent out the things he had arranged to do.
[The mystery of the Broadcasting Building has ended. Go back to your rental house first, then knock on your neighbor's door. No matter what means you use, go in and take a look.]
[Okay! Brother Yuan and I will go back right away! ]
Yu Xiu had the key to the rental house and was very obedient.
After arranging things, Xu Zhiyan was no longer in a hurry. He grabbed a backpack and took out a folding chair sold in the supermarket. He simply sat in front of the screen and looked around.
After looking at it for a while, he probably felt that it was boring, so he took out the picture album he got downstairs and started flipping through it, reading it all.
After a strange silence, my sister's urging came like snowflakes.
【Sister: Don’t wait. 】
【Sister: Only you can do it. Only you can do it. 】
[Sister: I won’t hurt you, you can trust me. ]
【elder sister:……】
There were several messages in a row, but Xu Zhiyan was like a fool. He read them one by one, but he just read them.
After about five or six minutes, the messages from my sister stopped.
Xu Zhiyan stood up reluctantly, and suddenly ran to the clock, moving the hands with his fingers, making it turn forward again.
The time became ten fifteen.
In the flickering room, time seems to have become real and can be manipulated by anyone.
The light traces the outline of the young man, quietly waiting for what will happen next.
A few minutes later, just when Xu Zhiyan had nothing to do and was looking for a screen playing Animal World, the system panel suddenly popped up.
[It is detected that a player is about to unlock the final mission of this copy. Players are requested to actively look for it. 】
[Note: Unlocking the task in advance will result in additional rewards. ]
Xu Zhiyan stared at the panel for a while, and suddenly a smile appeared on his lips. He picked up his phone and sent a message to his sister.
【Not pretending anymore? 】
Seeing that there was no response to the message, he didn't get angry.
Instead, he brought up the game panel and said calmly, "Still pretending? I didn't trick you this time. You exposed yourself. What is the extra reward first?"
A strange silence spread in the room.
Another three minutes passed before news from my sister finally arrived.
[Sister: How did you find out? ]
"What did you find?" This time Xu Zhiyan simply asked without typing.
But my sister's text message came back quickly.
【Sister: It will hear it. 】
The things in the phone are afraid of Bai Jin.
Xu Zhiyan nodded and stopped talking about other things. Instead, he asked, "So what is the extra reward?"
The audience in the live broadcast room watched this conversation and were stunned.
【? ? ? ? ? ? ?ah? ? 】
[Did I black out while watching the movie? ? What happened this time? ]
[It’s over, my brain is not enough...]
[Me too! So what is the relationship between the sister in the phone and the system? ]
[Judging from Xiao Baiwan's tone, he must have found some evidence to prove that the sister in the phone is actually a game system?! ]
[What the hell? ? Can someone explain why? ]
[Good question, I want to know too! Can’t this system just ask a few more questions?! I’m so anxious! I’m so anxious!]
[Hey, does anyone feel that Xiao Baiwan's tone right now is particularly like blackmail? He seems to be blackmailing the system! ]
In the live broadcast room, Xu Zhiyan did not wait for an answer.
He thought about it and simply walked to the shelf, bent down, took out the videotape wrapped in a plastic bag at the bottom, stuffed it into his backpack, and threw it into the plastic box near the door.
While throwing it, he said soothingly: "That place just now was too obvious. I was afraid that you would be found by others. It is more airtight here, and it is very safe."
“Bang!”
The plastic box was closed tightly.
Returning to the clock, Xu Zhiyan whispered to the phone and the panel: "Okay, it can't hear me anymore, so what is the reward for starting the final mission early?"
【……】
Six red dots flashed on the panel, and the silence of the game system almost overflowed from the phone screen.
【Extra points will be awarded.】
Since it had been exposed anyway, the system simply stopped using the sister's mobile phone account and talked directly to Xu Zhiyan.
Seeing that Xu Zhiyan was hesitant to speak, and was not going to release the eagle until he saw the rabbit, the system had to give him an additional reward for starting the final task early.
[Open the final mission in advance, and the person who opens it will receive 50,000 points. ]
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiyan not only did not stop there, but also started bargaining: "This is too little!"
He pointed to the clock, his tone very dissatisfied.
"How much effort did I put in to find a way to be admitted? It made me beg it to tell me. I gave away all my dignity, and you only gave me 50,000?"
Xu Zhiyan called up Bai Jin's message and looked at the red message, feeling completely justified.
【elder sister:? ? ? 】
Now, not only did the system fall silent, but even the audience in the live broadcast room stopped discussing the identity of the sister and shouted that Xu Zhiyan was shameless.
[As expected of you, you are a little millionaire! 】
[Help! This bandit hahahahahaha]
[When it comes to making money and being thick-skinned, I have to admit that I'm better than anyone else except Little Millionaire! ]
[? ? The dignity you are talking about is that perfunctory message just now? If I hadn't watched the live broadcast, I would have almost believed it! ]
【Hahahaha then just tell me, did he post it?】
[Please... Although it seems that I did ask... But... This doesn't taste right, brothers! ]
[I bet two points that the system will be led astray soon! ]
[srds, I just want to know how Xiao Baiwan knew that his sister was a system, I don’t know if there will be a subsequent decryption. ]
Unlike the shocked audience in the live broadcast room.
When Xu Zhiyan asked the system for money, he was very calm, as if he naturally deserved more money. The system had no other choice but to give in.
【Eighty thousand points.】
"Fifteen thousand. I'll give you thirty thousand to bargain. I hope you understand our current supply and demand relationship." Xu Zhiyan accurately found the weakness of the system.
The system paused for a long time before giving a rejection answer.
[Entering here is the final mission. 】
[If the mission is not completed, all players will be trapped in this instance.]
[You are not helping me, you are helping yourself. ]
Faced with this well-reasoned answer, Xu Zhiyan lowered his head and smiled. He had used these tactics countless times.
"What's wrong with staying here?"
He spread his hands and pointed at the screens around him, his tone full of envy.
"Unlike other copies, someone in this copy used their power to build a new utopian space."
"I've observed that the people on the screen are happy. They go to school, get an education, and then do what they like after graduation. They can work or not work."
There is no disease or crime here.
Everything is so beautiful except that it is not real.
"From the time I entered here until now, only one screen has gone dark. That was an old man who passed away at an age when he should have died. In other words, the guy who created this world gave these people the opportunity to live a complete life."
Having said that, he double-clicked on the game panel.
The bright red words "Infinite Game" are frightening.
"People only live for a short time. The creators here follow the rules very well and don't treat the recorded people as Tamagotchis..." He was not sure whether he would be treated as a Tamagotchi, but other players probably would not.
Changing the subject, Xu Zhiyan spoke in a disdainful tone.
"So isn't it better to be trapped here and recorded than to stay in the game and struggle?"
However, what he said made so much sense that he was banned from the live broadcast room.
[Tip: This player is banned for three minutes due to inappropriate comments.]
【Grass? ? 】
[What the hell? This is the first time I see someone being banned during a live stream?]
[What? Isn't it mosaics in the past? Why didn't they even use mosaics this time? Did they ban Xiao Baiwan from speaking? ]
[People are just so curious! So what did Xiao Baiwan say? ]
【Wow, I want to know that too.】
Three minutes later, when the live broadcast room had the picture and time back, Xu Zhiyan had already reached a consensus with the system with a smile.
[Note: Unlocking the task in advance will reward you with an additional 120,000 points. ]
Watching the new points arrive, Xu Zhiyan grabbed the clock and quickly adjusted the time on it.
“Buzz——”
My cell phone rang, and I saw the name on it was a message from Yu Xiu.
But the young man who was fiddling with the clock just took a glance at it and didn't even open it.
Just when he was about to adjust the time, his sister's text message... no, it should be said that the system's text message also came.
[Sister: Why don’t you check your teammates’ messages? ]
"Because there is no need. Letting him go back is just a means to prove something." Xu Zhiyan adjusted the time to 11:55 and waited for the bell to ring.
[Sister: Where is my weakness? ]
Xu Zhiyan shook his head: "If you want to know, you have to pay more."
There is more than one sister in the phone.
At first he didn't realize whether the sister who sent him the message was a good person or a bad person.
Inside the phone case, there are still the rules left by the original owner.
In addition to the above mentioned contents, there are two most important ones.
'My sister's text messages need to be deleted'
"Everything my sister said is ▇▇ (wrong)"
Why should I delete my sister's text messages? What will happen if I don't delete them?
Because most of the information his sister had given him was correct, Xu Zhiyan had obediently deleted the text messages she had sent him.
But just now, he did not delete the text message because he had doubts about his sister's identity.
As a result, those text messages were 'eaten'.
After that text message with the black pixel block, Xu Zhiyan never received a message with an exclamation mark again.
Thinking of this, he lowered his eyes with a serious expression.
At the beginning of the game, most of the text messages he received were exclamation marks. His sister's emotions fluctuated greatly, and she was able to observe the environment around him and give correct instructions.
In addition to the problem that I just wasted 10,000 points on...
Sister's identity?
【A sister is a sister. 】
What is its specific identity?
[Are you sure you want to spend another 10,000 points to get the answer to the second question? ]
It is obviously a question with the same meaning, but it is clearly divided into two questions. So it and its sister are most likely two different existences.
Through this question, Xu Zhiyan finally grasped the idea that flashed through his mind.
When he was carrying gifts to visit his neighbors, he realized that something was wrong.
At first the neighbor did not open the door.
He thought about using props to force his way in, but his sister immediately sent him a message telling him not to go in.
He was still hesitating at that time, but then a system message forced him back to the room.
The previous tips were almost all valid tips with exclamation marks.
And from the moment he was banned from entering, the reminder became a calm period, with every sentence being emotionless and cold.
Seeing that his sister didn't reply to the message, Xu Zhiyan smacked his lips and pointed at his phone.
"Yu Xiu must have received positive tips about the dungeon. These tips will keep players away from the Broadcasting Building."
Otherwise, the system would not risk exposing the identity of the 'sister' to stop it.
By connecting other known information together, Xu Zhiyan probably has figured out the ins and outs of the copy.
The rules of this copy are very scattered, with different rules in different places, and the players all belong to the same live broadcast company and go to different live broadcast locations.
When he first saw the various tasks, he thought the system wanted the players to kill each other.
But just now when he was flipping through the album, he saw a promotional advertisement at the end of the album that he had never seen before.
【We will hold an offline meet-up for the most popular anchor. 】
Offline meetup…meetup?
It is currently known that all the viewers in the live broadcast room have been stuffed into the other-dimensional space. So, wouldn’t this offline meeting be about allowing the most popular players to enter the other-dimensional space?
Almost the moment Xu Zhiyan saw it, he realized that the game system was taking advantage of the players.
Lowering his eyes, he turned the album back to the first page and stared at the plain black box on it, resisting the urge to ask the system.
Based on the information currently known, this copy has most likely deviated from the main storyline, but the deviation may not be far.
Bai Jin in the copy, as a slice of ghosts and gods, did not become a source of power to be drawn. Instead, he stayed in the building and did good deeds... That's weird!
Xu Zhiyan doesn't believe that slicing can do anything good.
Everything is necessarily driven by interests.
The currently known source of copy contamination is the box.
The dimensional utopia space was built by Bai Jin, the box was placed on the 31st floor, the content of the copy stopped at ten years ago, but the audience's thoughts stopped at half a year ago, the special people in the copy tried to steal Bai Jin's power a few days ago, and the sister representing the system was afraid of being discovered...
Everything points the finger at the gap between the slice and the system.
Even though he didn't want to admit it, after thinking for a long time, Xu Zhiyan could only come to one conclusion - Bai Jin intercepted the system and released the pollution source.
Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but think of the egg that he almost got, and felt sad.
Damn, I didn’t realize this guy is such an expert at stealing things?
In the hall where countless screens were flashing, the young man who was experiencing a storm in his brain sighed slowly.
When I met Bai Jin in the coffee shop, I felt very uncomfortable.
It's too powerful. Even though it has to follow all the rules in the building and even observe through cameras, it can move through the screen and even possess people, not to mention using a body that doesn't fit well to do things like tear through space.
The slices in previous copies were all restricted tightly. Even something as strong as blood vessels could only be trapped in a corner.
Thinking about how he had tricked Slice into meeting him offline, and how the other party laughed out of anger and kept sending him sarcastic expressions, there was a 90% chance that this guy had actually gone to his rental house and then realized that he had been cheated.
Not only is it incredibly strong, it also has a very bad temper and doesn't take anyone seriously.
Xu Zhiyan sat up straight, frowning.
Fortunately, this Daddy Slice is not very smart, and is very similar to the little transparent guy in that he is strong but brainless.
If his guess was correct, the system's previous popular king selection was to select the most popular person to follow the rules that already existed in the building, enter the dimensional space, and take out or open the intercepted city pollution source box.
Xu Zhiyan now suspects that the system asked him to take the album just to identify the box. It has tried every means but failed to take the thing away.
As for the popularity rules I just saw above, it was a complete surprise.
【elder sister:……】
"Want to know how I guessed that?"
Glancing at the six dots, Xu Zhiyan made a money gesture, enthusiastically inviting the system to add money to him.
He didn't think the system would leave any backup plans.
Just for entering the dimensional space, the system is willing to give him more than 100,000 points, which proves that only he can open this space.
But the other party didn't even worry that he would continue to blackmail... well, he continued the game and generously changed the price, which proved that the system had other means of response.
The system will most likely not allow him to enter the dimensional space alone and give him the opportunity to continue asking for money. As long as the space is open, the system will not even worry that he will not go in.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Zhiyan didn't mind.
Ask for as much as you can.
"Are you really not curious? I'll tell you if you get tens of thousands more points..."
Halfway through his speech, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly raised his voice a little.
"Of course, if there are players in the live broadcast room who want to know, you can also go to the black market to put up a bounty for me. As long as the money is enough, I will tell you everything."
He kept it to himself in the copy, leaving other viewers to guess.
In this way, if there is really a curious person who can't help but post a question reward, then he might be able to make another fortune!
“Dang—dang—dang—”
“Dang-dang-dang…”
Time is up.
The hour hand, which had been adjusted many times, finally reached where it should go. The light on the screen became brighter, as if foreshadowing what was about to happen.
Listening to the steady bell, Xu Zhiyan suddenly spoke softly to the game panel: "Don't worry, I am on your side now. Remember to give me more rewards when you give them out."
Since the slice and the system are fighting for the box, it means that the box is a valuable thing that is movable and powerful...
Valuable? He, Xu Zhiyan, has decided to buy it!
The young man stared at the clock with an eager look on his face, and the greed in his eyes almost overflowed.
