Chapter 46 Perfect New World (XVI)
"Your perfection value has dropped by 0.5."
Bei Xi is the person with the fastest hands in their team. It only takes her five minutes to process a piece of wrapping paper.
Because the perfect value has been restored to 90, the drop of 0.5 has no effect on her at all.
But for other people whose perfection values are already low, it has a huge impact.
For example, Wu Tong, although he was lucky enough to survive last night, his perfection value was already below the passing line. If this situation continues, it won’t take long before he will be unable to concentrate.
Besides, he was slow to begin with, and it took him ten minutes to process a piece of human skin.
"This is not a solution. Even if our level can barely get everyone's passing score, the main mission takes a week. We simply won't be able to maintain this pace tomorrow."
Because the process of handling the wrapping paper requires great concentration, a few drops of sweat appeared on Hongfen's face.
Her speed was a little slower than Bei Xi's, about seven minutes.
The remaining three people except Nan Huan all took about eight minutes, and their conditions were not much better.
Hongfen couldn't help feeling a little anxious, especially when she saw Beixi still had an indifferent attitude.
Under Beixi's strong insistence, Nan Huan was not allowed to approach the operating table. He was pacing back and forth in the workshop bored. He looked very leisurely and seemed not to take the main task seriously at all.
They didn't even take the fact that players who didn't meet the system's standards would be eliminated seriously.
Although she agreed to cooperate with Bei Xi temporarily, she was really confused by the other party's style of doing things, so her tone was a little bad.
"And the average speed of the Death Scalpel is much faster than ours."
"He knew part of the main quest in advance, so he assigned people to his team who are good at using knives. The system prohibits the use of acceleration and purification items, but does not restrict personal skills. In this respect, he has an advantage over us."
Bei Xi slowly took off the pair of blood-stained gloves and was not surprised by the situation.
"Our current average speed is enough to ensure that everyone can complete their daily basic workload. Don't do unnecessary work and try to maintain your own perfection value."
As soon as she spoke, she naturally attracted the attention of the other people in the team. Except for Nan Huan who was still strolling, the others naturally regarded her as the backbone.
Twelve has become accustomed to Bei Xi's orders and trusts him wholeheartedly.
So no matter what Bei Xi said, she would not doubt it, and even believed that the other party must have a way to solve it.
However, the members of Subcutaneous Bone and Wu Tong, who was assigned to the same team by accident, had never worked with Bei Xi. Although the other party's ability ranked first in the whole game, no one dared to take it lightly as it concerned their own lives.
But no one dared to question Bei Xi's decision, and in the end they all looked at Twelve helplessly.
Why do you do this? Is this all you need to do? Why don't you explain it to me?
Twelve was a little surprised under the burning gazes of the crowd. After all, no one in his guild had ever doubted Bei Xi's decision.
Besides, the president doesn’t like explanations at all, and he doesn’t like people who are not smart enough.
Finally, after taking a walk around and confirming some things, Nanhuan came back slowly. He couldn't bear it and explained a few words.
"The essence of this main task is not the daily fixed task, but the second task of flattering the leader. Moreover, processing wrapping paper will consume perfect points, so just complete the minimum workload required every day to ensure a bottom line, and don't waste too much energy on basic tasks."
It is difficult for ordinary people to follow Bei Xi's thinking.
If in the real world, Bei Xi always suppresses or hides her true self, then in the game world, she no longer needs this kind of disguise, but she is just a bit useless.
Given that everyone is now forced to form a temporary team, Nan Huan has to temporarily act as a spokesperson to temporarily appease the team members on behalf of Bei Xi.
"But Miss, everyone needs 60 points a day to pass, and even if a certain amount of work is completed, it will only get 50 points. The system lists projects that can flatter the leader, but those are very risky and there is a possibility of deduction of points. Why don't we be more cautious and use the workload to ensure 60 points? Wouldn't that give us a better chance of winning?"
Seeing that Nanhuan was willing to explain, Luoyan asked another question without hesitation.
"Don't forget, the perfect score is very important in this dungeon. The conditions for death are more than just less than 60 points."
Nan Huan reminded him, "Besides, according to the nature of the game, the greater the risk of a task, the higher the return on investment. In other words, the more dangerous the task is to drive away players, the higher the return on investment will be for the task of making the leader happy. Therefore, the key to determining the team's victory or defeat lies in this task."
"But don't worry. I just took a walk around and your current task has been reduced from 50 sheets of wrapping paper per person to 30 sheets. Just make sure the perfect value drops within 15. I will help you make up the remaining number and make sure everyone gets 60 points."
Nan Huan said the last sentence in a very low voice, as if he was afraid that people from other groups would hear him. "But you still have to pretend and deceive others."
When she said this, everyone except Bei Xi was stunned.
After all, when the speed test was taking place just now, Nan Huan was not allowed to participate at all. Bei Xi frowned and said "too dirty", and sent him away.
Could it be that she has some special skills that they don't know about?
But she looked unwell since yesterday, and even had to be carried by Bei Xi when she walked.
Judging from her appearance, she doesn't look like she can hold the knife steadily.
Or could that hair from last night still help her do this?
Moreover, Nan Huan said this very easily, which made the rest of the people feel a little dazed, as if they and she were not in the same copy.
"I admit that your performance on the train was beyond my expectations, but we don't know your skills, and you are unwilling to disclose relevant information. To be honest, I don't dare to believe it. I hope you can understand. After all, we are a team now. Or can you prove it first?"
Hongfen thought about it and decided to tell the truth.
It's not that she was afraid of death, but she had an entire guild behind her and she really didn't dare to take such a risk.
"President Hongfen, you also know that she won't abandon me," Nan Huan was brainless, but she didn't explain any more, just pointed at Bei Xi, "So even if we really have selfish motives and want to compete for promotion spots, whether it's two spots or three spots, the final winner must be our team. Things like averages, while reducing the total number and the number of people, can't play a decisive role. Only by expanding the total number without limit can we have the possibility of victory."
Nan Huan's words have already made his attitude clear.
Compared with other guarantees, this kind of words that reveal the essence of things beyond the surface are more likely to be recognized by others, including your fans.
Hongfen nodded, as if she agreed with her statement, and then she was really curious, "So, how do you plan to maximize the total score? Do you have any ideas about making the NPC happy?"
Nan Huan did not hide it, but did not say it directly, "A little, but not much."
Others might not understand her cunning look, but Bei Xi understood that she might be trying to make a big move all at once.
After all, the system said that every thing could be scored, and there seemed to be no upper limit.
After the brief team meeting, everyone except Bei Xi and Nan Huan returned to the operating table.
Compared to the anxiety they had just felt, everyone calmed down a lot after hearing Nan Huan's words. They handled the wrapping paper in their hands slowly and did not forget to put on airs in front of other teams.
On the other side, in the packaging team, where Death Scalpel was, the Ripper had been paying attention to the actions of Nan Huan and the others.
"Vice President, something is wrong. Their speed is no match for ours, but the first president and the eldest lady have been taking their time and don't seem to be in a hurry."
Mu Xin cleaned a piece of wrapping paper and put it into a clean refrigerator before stopping what he was doing.
The speed of his skill, Death Scalpel, has been pushed to the limit. As he becomes more and more proficient, his speed has become even faster. In just half an hour, he has processed nearly 10 sheets of wrapping paper.
Although he knew about the main quest of this dungeon before entering it, and that those who were used to using knives would have an advantage, and he also used some kind of grouping props early on, this situation has resulted.
But he still felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart. On the one hand, the president was too calm.
He originally thought that since Subskin Bone followed him into the dungeon, he must have had ideas about the Faith Totem Fragments, so he took the risk of putting the two guilds into one team.
Compared with the situation of three-way confrontation, he seemed more like seeing a scene where the fisherman benefits from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam.
But the Red Pink Club President didn't seem to be as reckless as he thought.
On the other hand, there was the dangerous man who needed to make the NPC happy. Because of the point deduction mechanism, he did not act on his own for the time being. But the president, who had obviously given up on the basic task, did not take any action either.
"Go deal with the wrapping paper quickly. I'll keep an eye on them."
Mu Xin asked the Ripper to take over and continue processing the wrapping paper, while he stared at the two people not far away.
After all, this copy might have a mission to obtain the Totem of Faith fragments, and last night the two of them carried out a mission that he was not clear about, so today he had to keep an eye on their actions to avoid missing any clues.
Then after a while, he discovered that the two people who were originally chatting suddenly began to look at the structure inside the workshop for some reason.
Nanhuan kept touching the ground from time to time, as if he had discovered something.
In fact, Nan Huan and Bei Xi originally wanted to discuss the method that Nan Huan had just come up with to make the NPC happy.
But before they could talk for just a few words, Nan Huan seemed to have noticed something and stood there looking around.
Then he took two steps back, bent down slightly, as if he had discovered something.
Bei Xi saw her busying about, and he followed her gaze, but saw nothing.
He helped her bend over and asked her.
After Nan Huan bent himself to be almost as tall as the hospital bed, he felt that the structure of this workshop looked very familiar.
"This place is a bit like the place I entered into the mirror during my interview," Nan Huan summarized his thoughts. "Well, it's not like the inside of the workshop, but the overall structure and layout are very similar."
She had been lying on the bed in the mirror before, and when she was pulled to that strange fifth floor, her vision was always restricted, so she was a little uncertain.
I had to bend down and look for similar angles to try to compare.
Then she discovered that when she bent down, the corners of the operating tables formed one compartment after another in mid-air, exactly the same as the positions of the transparent glass houses she had seen.
When Bei Xi opened her eyes, she was already in a place similar to an operating room, so she didn't have this feeling.
But as Nan Huan spoke, she noticed that a lot of sliding rails suddenly appeared on the ground, like the ones used to install glass doors.
She carefully helped Nan Huan up and asked her to look at the ground. "Are there also these in the place you went to?"
Nan Huan looked at the originally smooth ground and the slide rails that appeared little by little. They were exactly the same as the ones he had seen on the fifth floor. Moreover, the shape outlined by the slide rails was exactly the location of the transparent glass room.
"Yes, I remember the direction of that door."
Nan Huan said as he was about to pull Bei Xi forward in the middle of the track according to the position of the hospital bed in his memory. "Let's go and take a look. I don't think these things suddenly appeared for no reason."
"Twelve," Bei Xi did not leave immediately, but called Twelve over and looked around again, "Give us some cover."
Bei Xi pointed to the ground, but Twelve looked at it blankly, not quite understanding, "President, there is nothing on the ground, what are you doing?"
Twelve scratched his head, not knowing what the two people in front of him meant.
"You can't see?"
Now it was Nan Huan's turn to be shocked. She looked at the obvious slide track on the ground, and then looked at the twelve steamers' bright eyes.
"What do you see? The floor? There's nothing on the floor?"
Twelve was also confused. In his sight, Nan Huan was pointing at the empty floor with one hand and looking at him in disbelief.
Nan Huan understood instantly that Twelve had never entered that strange place, so she couldn't see it.
In other words, only she and Bei Xi, people with hidden identities, have entered that place in the mirror and can see it now.
"Looks like there's no need to cover up."
Bei Xi nodded, but still gave Twelve an instruction, "We have some new discoveries, and we may disappear for a while. If there is any situation, you cover it up, and try to calm the team. If it really doesn't work, just ensure your own safety."
"Okay, I understand, President, Miss, please be careful."
After the three of them said a few words, they separated.
Under the guidance of Nan Huan, Bei Xi turned left and right in the workshop. In the eyes of others, it seemed like he was just wandering around for no reason.
"Vice President, are we worrying too much? The NPC said that we cannot leave the packaging workshop except during rest time. Are they deliberately trying to divert our attention?"
The Ripper looked at the two wandering people with some confusion, he really didn't understand what the routine was.
Mu Xin was also a little puzzled. When he was thinking, he always turned the scalpel out of habit, but his eyes never left the two people in the distance.
After Mr. Li finished explaining the relevant work, he ran to his own exclusive lounge.
It seemed that they knew that these interns did not dare to go out at will because of the heavy and harsh work, and there was no chance to breathe or slack off, so they had no intention of keeping an eye on them.
Nanhuan and Beixi, therefore the operation went much more smoothly, after all, those old employees seemed to be unable to see them.
Until the two of them staggered and came to a stone pillar at the side and rear.
With the appearance of the two people, the shadow of a heavy iron door suddenly appeared on the side of the stone pillar that several people could not hug together. It was like the outer door of the secret room that looked like an operating room where Nan Huan was pushed into.
The door that should have required an access card suddenly opened a crack without any warning.
It looked like they had to go in. Nan Huan wanted to reach out to open the door, but Bei Xi got there first.
It was clearly just an illusion, but Bei Xi actually touched the heavy iron door.
[The assembly line is permanent, but the interns come and go. You are the first to discover the secret hidden in the packaging area.
This is not a relic of a place, it's just a failed replica.
But it still retains a certain atmosphere and images of the past. Are you ready to open Pandora's box? 】
The system's malicious voice sounded, but it didn't really mean what it said.
Because it clearly sounded like he was giving Nan Huan and Bei Xi a chance, but after he finished speaking, before the two of them could react, a series of voices came immediately.
