Chapter 204 Collapse of the City (2)
After Su Yue pressed the "Switch to Chat Room" button, the map on the LCD screen disappeared. Two extremely thin lines appeared one above and one below on the screen with a pure pink and purple background, representing program loading. There was a clear "beeping" sound during the loading process.
Cang Zhi and Zhao Shuo came up to him, one on each side.
Although all three of them need to get the Heart Key, there is no rush. If the game does not intend to wipe out the whole team on the first night, they must have left them enough time. Let Su Yue explore the way first to see what the chat room task is like. The other two may be more efficient if they follow his example.
Soon, the LCD screen switched to an extremely simple and old-fashioned chat interface.
The chat room did not have any complicated design, with a black background and options such as "Friends", "Private Chat", "Return to Map", and "Mission Objectives" on the right sidebar. Su Yue was not in a hurry to look at them.
In the main interface, different chat boxes pop up from the left side of the screen from bottom to top. Just like the chat software in the human world, the color and shape of each chat box are slightly different.
For example, there is a chat box that is the same black as the background color. If the chat box did not have a red border, Su Yue almost did not see it. The words are also grape purple, which is very difficult to recognize against the black background.
-【Black background, red border chat box: Ah... I'm so worried.】
-[Dark pink chat box with a wine glass in the lower left corner: Another sunny day~[Musical note][Musical note]]
-[Dark Green Chat Box: Did you hear the noise outside last night? It was really too much!]
- [Dark blue checkered chat box: That's it.]
-[Dark green chat box: grid box, are you free to chat? Where are you?]
- [Dark blue checkered chat box: ...It's not a good idea to ask this.]
- [Dark Pink Wine Glass Chat Box: [Painting Nail Polish] If you approach someone like this, you'll definitely get rejected, right?]
The chat content scrolled upwards at a constant speed. It looked like the residents of this city were all making anonymous comments in the chat room for some reason. They didn't seem to know who each other was and were just chatting casually.
Su Yue clicked on the location where the content was posted and found that he couldn't send a message. It seemed that in order to trigger the task, he needed to interact with one of the chat boxes.
"Let's take a look at that dark green frame first?" Su Yue said. "What he said seems to be related to the city protection agency that the electronic voice told us about, which comes out in the middle of the night to clear out the homeless."
Su Yue tends to choose chat content with more information, and Zhao Shuo and Cang Zhi naturally have no objection.
However, Su Yue poked the dark green chat box with his finger several times, but the chat box did not respond at all.
Su Yue even used his fingers to simulate left click, right click, and double click, but the dark green chat box still looked like a stagnant pool of water.
"Is there something wrong with my method?" Su Yue muttered, and poked the chat bubble at the top of the chat box. The chat bubble had a black background, a red border, and dark purple font, which could blind people.
The screen changed immediately, and a private chat window popped up on the group chat window.
Su Yue's simple dialog box without bubbles automatically sent out a line of words:
-【Su Yue: Tell me what's bothering you?】
Su Yue: "..."
It seems that the triggering method is not wrong, but the dark green chat box simply means there is no task.
.
The task that I wanted to trigger was not triggered successfully, but the chat box with a black background and red border replied immediately.
-[Black background, red border chat box: I lost something very important... I'm so useless.]
In Su Yue's dialog box, two options popped up this time.
-【A: You are indeed useless.】
-【B: Don't be sad yet, it's just something lost, maybe you can find it back.】
Su Yue: "..."
Cang Zhi: “Puff.”
Zhao Shuo: "Who in their right mind would choose option A?"
If it is option A, it is probably to give up this task voluntarily.
Su Yue and the others must get the three keys first, otherwise they won’t be able to survive tonight, so they naturally won’t choose A.
So Su Yue chose option B.
The dialog box continued to pop up, and this time, the name appeared in it.
-【Yuuna: Then... would you guys help me find the things I lost? 】
-【Suyue: OK.】
-【Yuuna: Then I'll send you the address. Please come find me [tears]. If you can help me find something important, I'll be grateful to you.】
-【Yuuna sent location information】
Yuna: You can bring a friend to help, and I'll thank that friend as well. I hope you can get to me within 30 minutes~ [wings][blow kiss]
A new dialog box pops up above the private chat window.
- [Task Accepted]
-[Mission Countdown 00:29:59]
-[Quest Number 1/2]
"The number of people on this mission is...?" Su Yue frowned slightly, "Does that mean we can add one more person?"
"It seems so." Cang Zhi agreed.
Although they didn't know how to add people, Yuna asked them to arrive at the scene within 30 minutes, so Su Yue and the others couldn't stay here to study the issue of adding people.
Su Yue clicked on the location information sent by Yunai and found that it was a school. The school was not far from where they were. If nothing unexpected happened, it would take about ten minutes to walk there.
As they walked towards the school, they continued to study how to increase the number of people on the task, because if they could, they would have two keys at once, and they would even have extra keys for later tasks, which would make things much simpler.
Su Yue read the message sent by Yuna again.
Yuna: You can bring a friend to help, and I'll thank that friend as well. I hope you can get to me within 30 minutes~ [wings][blow kiss]
"It should be this 'friend'." Su Yue thought for a while, clicked the "friend" button on the right sidebar of the chat box, and a new interface popped up, asking him to enter the friend's code.
Su Yue asked Zhao Shuo and Cang Zhi to find their own codes and added them both.
Su Yue clicked on Zhao Shuo among his friends, and sure enough, several commands popped up.
- [Private Chat]
- [Delete Friend]
-【Invitation Mission】
Yuna can only bring one person on the mission, but there is no need to worry about it. She will definitely bring Zhao Shuo.
Because considering the worst case scenario, if he didn't have the Heart Key in his hand, he would be eliminated that night. If Zhao Shuo died in the game, he would be completely dead. Cang Zhi was a god, so even if he died, he would just be kicked out of the game.
So Su Yue selected Zhao Shuo and invited him to join the mission.
"Boss!" Zhao Shuo said in shock, "Are you going to take me on the mission first? What about Brother Cang?"
"Don't worry, we are..." Su Yue almost let the cat out of the bag, then quickly changed his words, "We are confident that we can complete both tasks. Let's get your key first."
"But if something unexpected happens..." Zhao Shuo was still worried.
"Don't think too much. Don't you know his strength?" Su Yue patted Zhao Shuo's shoulder. "Come on, or I can help you confirm it."
Zhao Shuo also knew that Su Yue and Cang Zhi were much stronger than him, so he stopped pulling.
jiΠěΓcΗūǎΝＧ
After accepting Su Yue's mission invitation, this mission also appeared in Zhao Shuo's personal interface.
The [Number of Participants] column for the task changed from [1/2] to [2/2].
.
Judging from the map, Night City is very large. There are not many buildings near the birthplace of Su Yue and the others. The most conspicuous one is the location where Yuna issued the task, which is the school. There is also a pedestrian street near the school.
In addition, Su Yue noticed that there were some white spots on the map. The closest distance was only about ten minutes' walk away. He clicked on the white spots, and a new dialog box actually popped up on the map, indicating that these white spots were [resting places].
Considering that these "resting areas" were specially marked and their original bedrooms were blown up immediately after they got off the bus, Su Yue believed that the rest areas should be used for them to lie down and recover their strength when they had nowhere to go at night.
Of course, there was no need to think about these things at the moment, they continued to head towards the school.
There were hardly any people on the streets, and the sky was dark red, the color of the sunset just before the sun sets and the sky turns dark, which was a mixture of many colors. The strong red looked gorgeous in the short term, but would look weird if it lasted for too long, not to mention that the sky was full of clouds, some of which were so low that they seemed to be piled up on top of the buildings, and not even a trace of wind could be felt.
With 18 minutes and 15 seconds left in the countdown, Su Yue and his friends arrived at the school gate.
This looks like a high school, but it is not school time. The school gate is wide open but there are no students inside. Looking inside from the school gate, you can see an L-shaped teaching building. The front and back of the building are covered with lush trees. The treetops are very green. Under the dark red sky, the dark green is so thick that it is almost black.
Opposite the school gate is the playground. The playground is empty, even the basketball and badminton nets are motionless, as if it were a frozen picture.
Su Yue, Zhao Shuo and Cang Zhi entered the campus one after another. The moment they stepped into the school gate, message alert sounds rang on Su Yue and Zhao Shuo's watches at the same time.
Su Yue clicked on the LCD screen and automatically jumped to the chat room.
-【Yuuna: Hehehe...you're here】
-【Yuuna: I'm on the rooftop of the teaching building, come find me~[heart]】
