Chapter 40 Dark Paradise (18) - Absurd Operation
The girls were already used to them trying not to laugh.
She was desperate too, okay? Who told her to get such an item? This game really screwed her over.
The girl said angrily, "Seriously, I'll demonstrate it for you first so you know it has no side effects."
After saying that, the girl made herself face the thunder god prop:
"I swear to Lei Gong, I cannot lie within two minutes, or I will be slapped in the face by the person closest to me."
After the girl finished speaking, she took the Thunder God prop, stamped it on the back of her hand, and then showed it to them.
What... is this? Are you playing them for fools?
The four of them had just frowned when they noticed the girl rush towards a tree and say to it, "I like you!"
Damn, this is getting more and more surreal.
While Ning Shu and the others were still silent, they saw Li Mengqi suddenly run up to the girl and slap her across the face...
That's right, the girl really got slapped in the face!
"..."
No, could Sister Meng be her shill? It's not that Ning Shu is being paranoid, but this is really hard to judge.
Ning Shu thought about it again and felt that it was unlikely. If they were in cahoots, what would they be after?
The three of them had a total of 16 points? When the spoils were divided, each person only had 8 points.
What's the difference between this and robbing a bank and only taking 250 yuan of the loot?
Wu Yi, speaking his mind, asked, "Sister Meng, what are you doing?"
Cheng Chuan realized: "Sister Meng is probably the person closest to her."
Li Mengqi was also in a daze. Why did she run over uncontrollably and slap the other person?
At that moment, I felt like my body wasn't my own; all I could think about was slapping the other person in the face.
Li Mengqi explained the situation to Ning Shu and the other two.
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl pointed to the back of her hand that had just stamped the document and said to them, "Look, the stamp is gone, and the oath's effect is gone."
Oh~ So that was just a demonstration, but the process was a bit explosive. They actually let someone else slap them in the face to prove it?
He's already working so hard even before he's earned any points; he's living off his looks—truly deserving of the title.
The girl was on the verge of tears, knowing full well that this would be a huge loss for her.
She had tried other methods before, but because the "punishment" was too lenient, no one believed her.
Being slapped in the face is a form of injury that is neither too serious nor too minor, and is acceptable to others.
Ning Shu was still worried, so the girl asked, "Then what do you want to do?"
Cheng Chuan: "Perhaps we can give it a try ourselves."
If she makes a small oath like she did just now, and if there are indeed no side effects, then it's certainly possible to agree.
Whoever proposed it should try it, so the person who tried it was Cheng Chuan.
The girl was worried about them handling the props, so she only made Cheng Chuan swear an oath in front of the props, and then she personally stamped it on his hand.
Cheng Chuan's vow was similar to the girl's, but he changed the "slap in the face" to "being pinched." Ning Shu was the one who pinched him, so everyone was relieved.
Ning Shu felt the same way as Li Mengqi, and Cheng Chuan trusted Ning Shu a lot, so everyone agreed to the absurd thing of swearing an oath before the deal.
The girl introduced herself, saying her name was Lei Tao, and that even her name was related to the Thunder God, which was truly a special coincidence.
Lei Tao required them to swear oaths on several key points:
First, he promised not to reveal the news of the "death roller coaster" to other players outside the venue, otherwise he would die in the dungeon.
This request is a bit malicious.
Secondly, after successfully clearing the dungeon, they must leave the dungeon within a time limit and cannot stay in the dungeon for longer than the time specified by the sworn person, otherwise they will also die in the dungeon.
Third, you must not reveal any information about Lei Tao to anyone in any form, or you will die on the spot.
Well, Ning Shu realized that Lei Tao's requests were all quite malicious, but they were all extremely protective of herself.
What are the chances of them meeting in the dungeon? Why did Lei Tao set such an extreme requirement?
Problems you can't figure out can wait; getting the information right now is more important.
Ning Shu and the others need to discuss the second point, since they haven't found a specific project yet.
After some discussion, they decided that the second point would be set within 3 days after the roller coaster ride.
So Ning Shu and the other three, like idiots, took turns swearing oaths in front of the Thunder God figurine—no, the Thunder God prop—and each time they finished, a stamp was left on the back of their hands.
Ning Shu and the others first added Li Mengqi as a friend, and then transferred all their points to her, which Li Mengqi then gave to Lei Tao.
You can actually transfer money without adding each other as friends, and your personal account nickname will also be displayed in the other party's transaction list.
Ning Shu and the others felt that although Li Mengqi was a temporary teammate, he was the first veteran player to help them.
There will be plenty of opportunities to ask the other person for advice in the future, so it's safer to add them as a friend.
When Li Mengqi saw the game nicknames of the three people opposite him, he thought he was seeing things.
Ning Shu is a cute and gentle girl, but her nickname is "Strong Man Doesn't Wash Feet".
Wu Yi, a tall and muscular man, has the nickname "Arrogant Little Princess," while Cheng Chuan's nickname is relatively normal, "One Journey After Another City."
The nickname Ning Shu immediately gives you a sense of its own.
Ning Shu saw Li Mengqi's nickname – "Sleepwalking in Adversity to Find WiFi" – and knew he was definitely a kid who loved surfing the internet!
After the transfer was completed, Lei Tao finally revealed the news about the "deadly roller coaster".
Ning Shu summarized the discussion as follows:
This project was actually the designated project. It was like finding a needle in a haystack, and then getting it without any effort at all. It had three traps set in total.
The first section is the ten-ring loop section, which, as the name suggests, involves going around ten large rings.
The danger here is that it is surrounded by thorny vines and malevolent carnivorous plants.
The second part is the vertical descent section, during which the character actually enters the mouth of a giant monster.
The important thing they need to be careful not to get caught in the monster's tongue. They can escape the monster's mouth once the roller coaster goes up.
The third section is the wave-like forward section. The main danger in this section is the occasional flying knives that can cut a person in two.
At this point, Lei Tao thoughtfully offered advice: "For the first and second sections, just be careful not to get entangled by vines, carnivorous plants, or monster tongues."
This is utter nonsense; anyone who isn't brain-dead wouldn't want to be bothered with this.
Ning Shu couldn't help but ask, "You've only stated the problem, don't you have any solutions?"
A game can't be without a solution, right?
Lei Tao replied seriously, "Yes, the solution is to be skilled in martial arts."
A moment of silence... Ning Shu wanted to complain about this service. It was so expensive, and this was all it was?
Lei Tao, ignoring Ning Shu's speechless expression, coughed to draw everyone's attention.
Then he solemnly said, "The third paragraph is the most important, so listen carefully."
Ning Shu had already given up hope of hearing anything from her; it was all talk and no action.
"Whether you can pass the level depends on whether you can get accurately cut down by the throwing knife in the third section."
? !
Four shocked faces!
Listen to yourself! Are you even speaking human language? Did you get so excited that you said the wrong thing?
At this moment, Ning Shu desperately hoped that the other party would say something nonsensical, because such words were even more despairing than nonsensical words!
