Chapter 340 Safe House
The Nightmare Community welcomes a rare guest.
Asa saw Qu Ji entering through the surveillance camera and was a little puzzled, then he showed the silver panel in front of the other party.
[The process of the celebration can be carried out by letting other monsters deliver it. 】
It is busy, and it also knows that the music season is busy.
No matter where you are, it is not an easy task to coordinate and manage multiple life forms. As an intelligent AI, it has a high opinion of the safe house manager in front of it who manages monsters with primitive means.
Unexpectedly, after seeing the words above, Qu Ji took a deep breath and his eyes became determined.
"Let's put the celebration aside for now. I have other things to do this time."
“What is a revolving door transfer station?”
Half an hour ago, it met Xu Zhiyan who was going downstairs to shop. Just as it was about to say hello, it heard the other party say, "If the revolving door transfer station can't be opened, just overturn the fireplace. As for the seat, it is better to leave one for Bai Jin."
Qu Ji nodded subconsciously, and it didn't come back to its senses until Xu Zhiyan left with satisfaction.
Revolving door? What is that?
After asking other monsters as quickly as possible, Qu Ji finally found the answer in the system. It was said that these words had appeared in the other party's integrated report materials.
【……Um? 】
After hearing the whole story, Asa keenly realized that this seemed to be a misunderstanding?
The ghost went to find Mr. Xu, and then Mr. Xu directly arranged the project without discussion and approval by the monster butler, which was somewhat inconsistent with the other party's cautious style of doing things.
You should know that Xu Zhiyan rarely controls new projects personally. Most of the time, he proposes a plan first. Only after it has been evaluated and confirmed by high-intelligence monsters and AI, will the project actually begin to move forward.
No matter what, it should be the Monster Butler who determines the project content first.
It is rare to see Qu Ji looking so confused this time.
It quickly calls up information on the panel.
[This is an undetermined concept in the development branch of the technology tree. 】
[The author of the data once wrote a whole set of formulas when researching the technology related to plane travel. The source of the formula is that it once captured a strange wormhole. Each time it travels through, it will enter a different place, but these places are continuous and fixed, like a revolving door——]
The information ends here.
Asa suddenly thought of a possibility.
[I think Mr. Xu meant to ask you to try to open the door to the dungeon in a revolving door manner.]
Points can be converted into energy. Every time the safe house opens a new door, points must be paid to the main system. A door that can be used ten times requires a million points, and a door that can be opened unlimited times requires even more points.
Although the looting of remaining materials in the copy can basically cover the expenses, there are always unexpected things.
If the door collapses or closes unexpectedly, you will lose money.
For this purpose, Xu Zhiyan even arranged extra monsters to calculate the risk value of opening an additional copy safe house each time.
[We are now opening the channel to the small world of the copy. In fact, the principle is similar. Mr. Xu probably wants us to use this technology to connect the original single channel to multiple ports! ]
Asa spoke in simple terms and Qu Ji was very surprised when he understood it.
"As expected of Brother Xu!"
"If we can use the technology of the revolving door transfer station to modify the door leading to the copy, then we can turn a door into a channel connecting multiple copies..."
At that time, you only need to pay a toll and you can use it unlimitedly and link to many copies.
Qu Ji's eyes were filled with excitement, and he felt that his admiration for Xu Zhiyan had risen to a higher level again.
Every time it thinks the safe house is perfect, its brother Xu always comes up with a better and more unpredictable solution to make everything better!
Asa also expressed his admiration for this.
[Mr. Xu is always so amazing. Of course, I didn't expect that Mr. Guishen could remember and use all this irrelevant information just by casually glancing at the information.]
The monster and the unity hit it off immediately.
I have a strong respect for my boss.
After talking to Xu Zhiyan for more than ten minutes, Qu Ji felt more eager to get things done and couldn't help but ask.
“How long does it take to get a new formula into the door?”
"If I go back and arrange new coordinates now, can I try it today?"
[Of course, I will send the specific formula and operation method to the idiot system. If everything goes well, the first round of testing can be carried out in three hours. If everything goes well, all the old doors can be eliminated in the future.]
"Got it, I'll arrange it now..."
Qu Ji left the nightmare community without stopping, and did not correct Asa's name for the system.
If it works quickly, it will be able to hand in a new report by the time Xu Zhiyan comes back! Oh, I think I have to go back and flip the fireplace.
…
Time passes quietly.
The sun sets and the moon rises.
A low-key black sedan was driving steadily on the road, with cold air blowing in through the wide-open windows.
Gan Mi sat in the back row, turning his head to look out the window at the scene that was receding.
The biting cold wind blew on his body, but he seemed to feel nothing. He still maintained the same posture, and even the direction of his eyes did not change.
After driving for another twenty minutes, the car slowly stopped in front of the gate of an elegant old house.
The driver got out of the car, rubbed his red hands from the cold, walked quickly to the right side of the car, respectfully opened the door and said, "Boss, we're here."
"Well, you go first."
Gan Mi spoke lightly. When she got off the car, she was still holding an unopened bottle of wine in her hand, but the wine was not packaged and did not look like a gift. No one knew what it was for.
Xu's house is located in the suburbs, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
There was quite a bit of noise outside, and soon the door opened from the inside, and Gan Mi was welcomed in.
The driver lowered his head and dared not say a word. He waited until his boss completely disappeared. Then he stamped his feet and ran back to the car, closed the window and turned on the heater.
"As expected, rich people all know each other... But why would they buy a house so far away?"
Thinking of the quiet and deserted road on the way here, the driver complained quietly.
He couldn't understand the thoughts of rich people. It was said that the roads and surrounding mountains here were all assets of the Xu family. In such a large area, there was only one old house covering a large area, and there was no trace of anyone else.
On the other side, Gan Mi followed the guide and turned several corners, and it took more than ten minutes to reach the destination.
Before the subordinate who led the way pushed open the door, he heard the voice of the Ghost Lion Wang Ying.
"Ah - we are the only ones left alive! Gan Mi hasn't arrived yet, so maybe he died on the way?"
Gan Mi followed the other party's words and walked in, with a speechless expression.
"Can you wish me well?"
Glancing at the blonde girl who was lying on the table and shaking her hair out of boredom, he pulled out a chair and sat near the door.
This is a room with a completely different style from the high-end lounge and conference room. The overall low-key and calm decoration is somewhat Chinese in style. The treasure cabinet on the side displays priceless antiques.
After sitting down, Gan Mi nodded slightly to the smiling white-haired man at the head of the long table, and glanced at the other people.
In addition to Wang Ying on Yan Chengfan's right, sitting on his other side was the collector Xu Yan, who looked a little impatient. Judging from his expression, it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with changing the meeting place here, and his brows were furrowed.
In addition to the familiar faces, there are a few slightly unfamiliar faces around.
Gan Mi saw the man who came to see him a few days ago. He remembered that the other party was Cen Jinyue's subordinate.
These people are not too bad, nor are they newcomers, but compared to the original core personnel, their combat effectiveness is still several levels lower. Even if this person is included, there are only a dozen people here in total.
Gan Mi couldn't help but think that it was much less than the day that Enli died.
Without waiting for him to ask if there was anyone else, Yan Chengfan clapped his hands, his expression a little distracted, his white hair still messy.
"Everyone is here."
"Although it's a bit troublesome, there are some things that need to be said."
Behind Yan Chengfan, a giant screen lit up, and Cen Jinyue's photo and other information were displayed on it, even recording the number of times and times the moon flickered.
"I think everyone has seen Cen Jinyue's death. Don't show that expression. I know it's hard to believe."
The story is indeed shocking.
But there was no trace of loss in the eyes of the mimics present.
A probability calculation appeared on the screen, and the most likely one was, 'The mysterious NPC monster is a minion of the main system.'
Due to special reasons, the mimics have been targeted by the main system, but the main system also has to follow the rules. As long as they act within the rules, they will be fine, so they have always been at peace.
"This monster's ability is most likely to control the moon, which has allowed the system to exploit a loophole."
Of course, no one had ever thought that Cen Jinyue did not die from skill restraint, but from power suppression.
However, the owner of the church's monster nest killed Cen Jinyue and rescued the clown, which was enough for them to judge more information, and it seemed reasonable.
"It seems that the main system is indeed cooperating with the people from Endless Cards."
Yan Chengfan said this, and then his tone softened a lot: "I called everyone here this time because I want to care about everyone."
He did not mention Xu Zhiyan, but raised two fingers with a smile.
"Since we are being targeted, everyone must enter the dungeon with at least two people to ensure personal safety. Let me say first that I will not team up with Xiaoying."
The topic suddenly jumped from serious analysis to other things.
"childish."
Xu Yan, who was sitting next to him, pushed his monocle, his tone full of sarcasm.
Wang Ying, who was suddenly disliked, stood up and nodded vigorously in agreement: "That's right, that's right! Boss, you are too childish. Hey, if you don't want to team up with me, I don't want to team up with you either! I have plenty of teammates--"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Yan spoke again.
"I won't team up with Wang Ying either."
Ghost Lion Wang Ying was originally ranked fourth in the list. Now that Han Shi, who was ranked third, died at the hands of a collector, she has advanced to third place.
However, because she always uses violence to pass levels, regardless of the lives of others, and even beats her own people when she gets crazy, few people are willing to team up with her. She doesn't even have subordinates, and is just a lone wolf.
At this time, Wang Ying was repeatedly disliked, and she widened her eyes and looked at the other people at the long table.
Even Yan Chengfan and Xu Yan were unwilling to form a team, and the others were shaking their heads like rattles, wishing they could droop their heads into the floor.
However, Wang Ying also looked down on the new faces.
Her eyes fell on Gan Mi who was watching the joke, and her tone was very sincere: "Gan Mi, I'm going to beat you up, and if I win, you will team up with me."
Gan Mi was stunned when he heard this.
"...Can you take some time to clear your mind before talking to me?"
What the hell is wrong with you?
And beat him up...
Seeing that Gan Mi did not refuse immediately, Yan Chengfan quickly gave her a thumbs up and said, "I feel relieved to see that you two have a good relationship. It's decided then. You two will form a team."
He looked like a man who had finally gotten rid of a burden, with a look of relief between his brows.
Gan Mi was speechless and choked.
But despite the expectant looks from the other newcomers, he stared at the people around him, had no desire to form a team, and simply nodded in agreement.
It doesn't matter who you enter the dungeon with.
Even if he uses a human body, the mimic can block out human emotions. He is not afraid of Wang Ying, and changing a partner will not change anything.
Soon, the team formation was over.
Yan Chengfan's spirits improved a lot: "Ah, I finally see hope that the meeting will end. It's really hard to adapt to no one taking care of the chores after Cen Cen died."
The only trouble that Cen Jinyue's death brought to him was that he had to do a lot of things by himself.
"Okay, nothing else."
He stood up and stretched, and finished the last thing in a cheerful tone: "Xiaoying, go kill the clown and don't let this guy jump around anymore."
Thinking of Dou Hongshan, Yan Chengfan added another sentence.
"By the way, remember to find a chance to look at the memory of that player with the plant attribute. I always feel that they should have other backup plans."
After saying this, he immediately retreated and walked towards the door.
"Got it——Boss——"
Wang Ying lay on the table, her voice drawn out.
Seeing that everything was fine, Xu Yan also left with a frown, as if he was too lazy to care about anything else.
Before Gan Mi left, he heard several other mimics cautiously ask Wang Ying, "Is the meeting over like this?"
"Of course, it's mainly for you guys."
Wang Ying answered with a smile, revealing a pair of cute little canine teeth.
"As long as the boss is here, it doesn't matter if everyone dies. I'm just reminding you guys because you're weaker."
"It would be more of a ritual to be able to live to see the realization of the ideal country," she said with a shrug.
Apart from the Pope's death which did give Yan Chengfan a headache for a while, the deaths of the other mimics did not make other of the same kind feel sad or fearful.
Outside the door, Gan Mi listened to Wang Ying's words, picked up the bottle of wine and walked away silently.
Yes...
The ideal country will eventually come true.
The yard of Xu's house was very large. He walked around it twice but couldn't find the exit. Finally, he stepped into a courtyard with large and small pools.
Standing on the shore, Gan Mi frowned and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
The moon is big and round, emitting a soft light.
He thought about it, and simply stood there, opened the bottle of wine, and waved it in the direction of the moon, not knowing who he was toasting, and then poured the entire bottle of wine into the pool.
The wine wet the stone slabs and flowed through the cracks into the small pool beside him.
Cen Jinyue's death did not cause any splash. Unlike humans, mimics do not have such rich emotions, and they would not mind dying for the ideal country.
But Gan Mi still retains some human emotions, and he has some perception and complex emotions about the death of his companions.
"goodbye."
After saying that, he threw the bottle away and continued looking for the exit of Xu's house.
Half an hour later, Gan Mi finally found the gate.
In the study, Xu Yan also received a tip from his subordinates that the pond where he raised fish was suspected to have been poisoned, and several koi fish had turned upside down for some reason and were being rescued.
After learning that it was Gan Mi who secretly poured wine into his pool, he could hardly keep the gentle expression on his face.
"…He wanted to pay tribute to Cen Jinyue and came to harm my fish. Is he sick?"
Damn it, he knew he shouldn't have let these people come!
…
At the same time, at Yunshan old house.
As the celebration time approached, Xu Zhiyan was worried that something might go wrong with his online shopping, so he decided to go shopping himself. When he came back with the small decorations he had purchased, he found that the hall had changed.
The fireplace in the center was removed and replaced with an extra-wide black and gold chair emitting a cold and hard metallic glow, which was large enough for several people to sit on.
Well, it seems to be left for ghosts and gods.
A huge glass circle appeared on the ground in front of the chair, and a faint shadow appeared above the circle. Qu Ji was standing next to the circle, clicking on the silver panel on his side.
Seeing Xu Zhiyan coming, Qu Ji enthusiastically stepped forward to introduce the new door.
"Brother Xu! The revolving door you mentioned has passed the initial test. Currently, it can connect to up to six copies at the same time. Next, we need to test the stability of the door after the copy upgrade..."
Xu Zhiyan was stunned, feeling that something was wrong.
He listened to Qu Ji introducing the new revolving door and praising it to him, and finally he came to his senses and subconsciously looked towards the bedroom on the second floor. He was no longer confused.
Qu Ji said that he wanted to install a revolving door transfer station in the lobby, occupying territory and overturning chairs. It turned out to be nonsense after all this talk. The other party didn't even know about this project!
He sneered and walked upstairs, but stopped when he reached the door.
...No, Xiaotianluo really installed the revolving door in the hall. If he were to expose the conspiracy of the ghosts and gods now, would he be able to drive them back? Moreover, the revolving door transfer station could indeed save him a lot of money, effectively fleecing the main system. It seemed that he had no reason to criticize them now.
When he thought of the huge amount of money that could be saved, Xu Zhiyan's anger instantly disappeared.
Considering the upcoming cohabitation life, his hand holding the door handle suddenly retracted as if it was burned, and his ears felt a little hot.
