Chapter 208 Collapse of the City (6)
Of course, nothing would happen next, but Su Yue still held Cang Zhi's hand.
In front of Zhao Shuo, doing such an intimate gesture, his ears felt a little hot. But then he thought it was no big deal, he was just a boyfriend on probation...
My ears still feel a little hot.
Never mind.
Su Yue looked up at the sky, saw the elevator car, then looked at the tree with its fangs and claws bared outside the glass, gently squeezed Cang Zhi's hand, and said, "Let it be."
.
The elevator car was very small and it didn't look like there was a rabbit doll, but Su Yue still looked around and finally confirmed that there was no rabbit doll here.
At the same moment, the elevator car sank slightly, and the words "B1" lit up, indicating that the elevator had arrived at its destination. Su Yue took the lead and scurried out like a rabbit. Outside was the school's basement.
Unlike the orderly rest of the teaching building, this floor was a mess. Three of the four walls had giant "Xs" painted on them, but around the "X" were numerous smaller graffiti: bears, wings, "FXXX OFF," and even some rather casual, R18-inspired images drawn in highlighter. Liquor bottles, leftover snack wrappers, even accessories and sandals littered the floor.
The huge "X" on the three walls should simply be used to indicate abandonment, but it is obvious that this abandoned floor is used by some students as a place for carnival, so the three "X"s look a bit inexplicably artistic.
Su Yue bent down and picked up a wine bottle. The mouth of the bottle was covered with dust and the color of the bottle itself could not be seen.
"Even if this party happened some time ago," Su Yue said, "it's been at least two weeks since the alcohol completely evaporated and even the dust clinging to the bottle neck dried."
"It's a good thing." Cang Zhi said.
Su Yue nodded: "Our purpose is just to find a doll, it would be best if we don't meet outsiders."
After passing through the party venue, there was no rabbit doll to be seen. Walking further inside, there was a downhill slope. After turning around the downhill slope, Su Yue stopped.
"It's here." Su Yue said, "It's just not that easy to find."
Zhao Shuo fell a little behind Su Yue and didn't understand what Su Yue was saying at first. He took two quick steps to the same level as Su Yue and took a look. He immediately understood and felt a black screen in front of his eyes.
99% of the rabbit dolls are here because this is a big pool full of dolls.
Moreover, at least 1/3 of the dolls in this pool are rabbit dolls.
Fortunately, they had previously memorized the image of the rabbit doll on the drawing board: a black rabbit, sitting, with an "x" in its right eye. With these characteristics, they could eliminate most of the rabbits in the pool.
Su Yue looked at the task panel.
-[Time remaining: 01:20:33]
It took them less than ten minutes in an hour and a half to get here from the fifth floor, but if they consider the worst case scenario, one hour and twenty minutes is the deadline for the mission, which is also the countdown to dark. They still have to complete another mission, so time is very tight.
"We're looking for rabbits here." Su Yue said to Zhao Shuo, "Try using your brother Cang's watch to see if it can trigger other tasks."
Zhao Shuo knew that Su Yue had given him the key to Cang Zhi, and he also wanted to help, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
Watches can be exchanged with each other, but the designers probably didn't expect that players would trust each other enough to exchange watches. If someone helps the other party take on a task that cannot be completed or gives up a task that is about to be completed, it could cost lives.
Zhao Shuo stood by the pool and entered the chat room to try to trigger the task. Su Yue and Cang Zhi entered the pool. Zhao Shuo was not nearby, so they did not hide anymore and simply activated their divine power to assist in the search.
If the divine power in this world was not restricted, let alone such a large doll pool, even finding a rabbit in a pool as big as a teaching building would only take a few minutes.
But in the game, Su Yue's divine power is severely limited, so it is just equivalent to expanding his field of vision a little.
But after looking around, Su Yue frowned slightly.
He stepped over the waist-high rabbits and walked over to Cang Zhi. After making sure Zhao Shuo couldn't hear him, he whispered, "Do you feel that the restrictions on divine power in this game aren't that severe?"
"Yes." Cangzhi immediately agreed.
That moth, with its expanded vision and the previous unlocking, Su Yue had used his divine power many times, as had Cang Zhi.
According to past experience, such high-frequency use of divine power would cause the earrings to sound the alarm and inquiries from the Supervisory Office. Although the "Supervisor Z" who was in charge of the inquiries was right next to Su Yue, it was a bit surprising that even the earrings were so quiet.
"After all, this is the last game with a rift." Cang Zhi said, "It's possible that the rules are different from the usual games."
"If the rules are different from usual, then it means the rules are bugged." It seemed like a trivial matter, but Su Yue's expression was extremely serious. "Do you understand what the reduced restrictions on divine power mean? It means that as gods, we are not that superior in this game."
Cangzhi is not as smart as Suyue, but he can see that what Suyue said is very serious.
So he waited for Su Yue to continue.
"That is to say, in other games, even if we die, we can still get out unscathed, but here, that's not necessarily the case." Su Yue said, "If the situation is good, we will be injured when we die, but if the situation is bad, if we die in this game, we will really die."
Although Su Yue had relied on his own exceptional abilities to clear the game for the most part and had never truly reached a dead end, he had to admit that the god-only rule of "not truly dying" had been the foundation of his boldness in the game. Now that this rule had suddenly been challenged, he was, to say the least, disoriented and a bit lost.
"You won't die." Cang Zhi said.
His tone is always calm, which makes Su Yue feel especially safe in this situation.
There was a sense of oracle.
Su Yue also let it go. After all, he was still the legendary "big winner," a top player. Moreover, in this game, although he might have lost some of the protection provided by the rules of the gods, his strength had also increased in disguise. Thinking about it, it was not a loss.
You’d better hurry up and find the rabbit doll.
An average person would have spent an hour searching the pond, but Su Yue and Cang Zhi, both using their divine powers, managed to snatch the stuffed rabbit from the depths of the pond in just ten minutes. It was a black rabbit, sitting, with a heart in its left eye and an "x" in its right. They could confirm it was this rabbit because, after they'd picked it up, it glowed faintly, a clear sign of having found the correct quest item.
"Done!" Su Yue snapped his fingers towards Zhao Shuo.
-[Time remaining: 01:07:02]
If you're lucky, you might even get another key.
.
While Su Yue's puppet search went smoothly, Zhao Shuo hadn't been lucky enough to trigger the second quest. He explained that after arriving at the school, the number of NPCs in the chatroom increased significantly. It seemed the chatroom content correlated with their location: crowded areas had more chatrooms. However, none of the chatrooms were triggering. He'd clicked on every one, but nothing quested.
"It's okay, let's finish this task first." Su Yue said, and they went upstairs immediately.
They encountered patrolmen again on the fourth floor and a half. This time, Su Yue and the others used the drawing board to avoid them, rushed to the fifth floor, and pushed open the door.
The wind blew from the sky, and the color of the sunset was more vivid than before. The wind blew the clouds slowly away like waves. Yuna was still standing on the edge of the rooftop, her jet-black hair swaying in the wind.
Hearing the noise, she turned around and asked, "Did you bring back my doll?"
"Yes." Su Yue handed the rabbit doll to Yuna. After Yuna took it, he carefully examined it and smiled lightly: "Yes, this is my doll, thank you."
Yuna: "As agreed, this is my way of thanking you."
She took out two small keys from her pocket. The keys looked a bit like plastic, had a strong fluorescent feel, and were a very transparent red.
The key also comes with a chain, which is suitable for wearing on the wrist, hanging around the neck or tying to the belt.
When he took the key, Su Yue heard a "beep" sound from his watch. He clicked it and saw that Yuna's task interface had changed.
- [I have found a rabbit doll for Yuna]
- [Mission Completed]
-[Quest Reward: Heart Key 1/1]
.
"Thank you." Yuna was in a good mood after getting her rabbit doll. She curled her eyes and smiled in a way that made people feel bright.
"It's getting late. You should find a place to rest as soon as possible." Yuna kindly reminded, "Otherwise, when May Night comes, something very terrible will happen."
Su Yue thanked her for the reminder and asked her if she knew where else she could take on the task.
"Sorry, I don't understand." Yuna held her little rabbit in her hands, squinted her eyes and smiled.
All right.
It’s normal not to understand.
Su Yue was about to leave. There were patrollers in the building, and he didn't intend to confront them head-on, so he left through the stairs outside the teaching building.
He planned to leave school and walk a distance towards the pedestrian street to see if he could trigger a new task.
Just as I reached the fourth floor and a half, I suddenly heard a scream coming from the rooftop. It was clearly Yuna's voice. Along with the scream, the robot dog's metallic bark.
Su Yue hesitated for half a second, then decisively changed direction and rushed to the roof.
