Chapter 53: No People, Only Gold (1) [101 Body Purification Master...
After 10 hours of screening, Wei Wei finally selected a copy with rich rewards. The copy story corresponds to reality and takes place in the suburbs of the ancestral city.
The copy selection players are regional, Gao Mengtang and others went there overnight.
Wei Wei's black clay puppet was driving the car, and he sat in the passenger seat smoking: "You should have heard of the real-life incident. Seven years ago, it was called the 'Crystal Zombie Case' by the public. The trial lasted for more than a year, and many people were executed. Among them was a professor from Zhongzhou University."
After he reminded them, everyone suddenly remembered.
Decades ago, a drug called "Blue Needle" became popular in five continents. The raw material was extracted from the seeds of a mutated plant. After taking it, it can restore physical strength and refresh the mind.
Blue needles are less addictive and produce an aromatic compound that is harmful to the human body after taking them. Although the Central State authorities strictly control it, it is still popular among people with a little money.
Students in art schools are free and uninhibited. One tenth of them come from wealthy families. Many of Gao Mengtang's classmates have taken blue needles and coaxed him to try it. Gao Mengtang declined.
The traditional way to take Blue Needle is to dissolve it in various beverages and drink it like alcohol.
About five years ago, the Medical Research Center and a technology company jointly developed a product called the "Crystal Pump". The liquid in the pump has the same addictive substance as the blue needle, but it is cheaper and does not contain any ingredients that are harmful to the body.
In less than five years, crystal pumps gradually replaced blue needles and became popular in all continents.
Problems soon emerged: as a new product, the crystal pump was not strictly controlled. The news said that in order to increase profits, the developers dissolved drugs in the crystal pump, and tens of thousands of people were harmed.
People who drink poisonous beverages will develop serious dependence. If they drink too much, they may become crazy and attack people around them indiscriminately, eating their raw flesh and blood.
Looks like a zombie.
All the developers who poisoned the device were executed. This case was called the "Crystal Zombie Case".
The sound of raindrops hitting the roof blocked out all the noise from the outside world. Wei Wei sighed quietly, "The main developer of the crystal pump is my colleague, a professor of medicine at Zhongzhou University, named Qian Hao. I can't understand why he put in drugs."
He Lun: "To make money."
"Qian Hao doesn't look like a greedy person."
He Lun laughed loudly: "Brother Wei, you don't look like a greedy person, don't you - why are you arguing with me?"
Bai Jie's elbow strike stopped He Lun's suicidal behavior. In the rainy night, the car drove forward along the mountain road.
"I'm a student at Zhongzhou University School of Medicine. When I was an undergraduate, I went to Qian Hao's laboratory to help out." Gao Geng suddenly spoke. He was reading a paper on his laptop.
Wei Wei: "Oh? What is your impression of Professor Qian Hao?"
Gao Geng: "I have almost forgotten it. But I vaguely remember that he told me why we should develop the crystal pump..."
Everyone in the car looked at him. Gao Geng recalled for a while expressionlessly, without even raising his eyes, and uttered three words: "I forgot too."
If you forget, don’t leave people in suspense halfway through.
After midnight, the car drove to an abandoned park. There were traces of bombing everywhere. The land looked like it had been pressed by a huge cigarette, leaving several cigarette scars, and the whole place was devastated.
Crystal zombie disease broke out on a large scale in the park, and the government had to dispatch security forces to suppress it with grenades and guns.
The characters on the plaque at the entrance gate were missing a stroke and a horizontal stroke, but one could still make out what they were: Ritian Science and Technology Park.
"Ri" and "Tian" together form the character "Hao" in Qian Hao's name.
"With such a wild name, you can't control yourself, right?" He Lun looked left and right, muttering to himself.
The countdown of the Black Tower protection period passed by minute by minute, and finally, the number displayed in the upper left corner changed to 00:00
The system prompt sounded.
【Welcome to Black Tower Game】
[Matching successful (8/8), about to enter the dungeon [No people, only gold]]
[Danger Rating: Sequence 4]
[You don't look well, remember not to let your spirit value go to zero]
I felt dizzy for a while, and when I opened my eyes again, it was already broad daylight. The park had been completely renovated, the buildings were brand new, and the words "Ritian Science and Technology Park" were shining brightly.
However, in such a huge park, there was not a single person to be seen.

Black Tower Chat Room.
: Report! The Blind Man has entered the dungeon! Sequence 4 Difficulty Dungeon [No People, Only Gold]
: It is a resource copy. I don’t know what the current status of this copy is.
After the public beta of the Black Tower game, players found that the changes in the dungeons were gradually increasing, and the reference value of previous dungeon experience was becoming lower and lower.
: Four blind men, [100 priest] [432 god stick] [780 lucky guy], and one [666 devil]
: Shit, [666 Devil] is Duan Song, Heiou’s number one killer, and he’s here for the blind and the purifier!
: Something is not going well. Something is not going well. The leaders of the five major factions are going to be assassinated!
: As for [207 Butterfly Fairy], I thought he would continue to pursue love and follow the blind man into the dungeon.
: Butterfly Fairy is very surviving. His resurrection skill [Transform into Butterfly] has a 30-day cooldown. Before it cools down, he will not enter the next dungeon.
: The presence of [666 Devil] is enough to make the blind man suffer. The blind man must come out alive.
: Who is mourning in advance? What about the devil? Is he stronger than the ancient gods? Let Duan Song sleep with one eye open, be careful of the blind dark shark!
: Assassination? That's too tasteless. I bet that the demon will be controlled by the blind man's mind, abandon the dark and join the Moon Banner!
: Take a quick look at the skill points of the blind quartet, there is something there.
After clearing the dungeon, you will be rewarded with [Ancestral Remains], which is equivalent to skill points. It can enhance both identity skills and specialized skills.
After discussion, Gao Mengtang and others decided to let He Lun focus on defense expertise and supplement it with combat expertise to make up for Wei Wei's lack of defense.
Helun obtained a total of 5 level 9 ancestor bones, equivalent to 5 skill points, all of which were invested in defense, unlocking the first specialized skill [Strong Shield]
Skill Description: Staying by your spiritual supporter's side, you will be stronger.
The closer you are to the player [000 Blind], the higher your defense will be. You can actively activate a shield that lasts for 5 minutes, with a cooldown of 3 hours.
Bai Jie really wanted to choose the combat specialization. His dream was to become a warrior wearing armor and serving the light. However, after being persuaded by Gao Mengtang, he tearfully chose the [Concealment Specialization] which was not very bright and walked in the dark.
The stealth specialization has a special feature: the skills will not be displayed to the outside world.
After all, if it is displayed to the public, how can it be hidden?
The first skill that Bai Jie obtained was [Open your eyes in the dark]
Skill Description: You hide in the dark, with a pair of prying eyes, looking at the sun-drenched sea.
After using this skill, you will get the Black Tower APP screen peeking permission for 30 minutes. The cooldown time is 6 hours.
: Bai Jie chose the stealth specialization, so you can't see his skills. He's a thief. A thief with stealth specialization is hard to guard against.
: It is also possible to add the identity skill of [374 Thief] [Steal if you want]
: Why didn’t the blind man gain specialization?
: As mentioned above, the Blind Man is specialized in salvation and has no specialized skills.
: Unfortunately, we can’t see the summoned creature’s skills.
Players who are experts in salvation will feed the remains of their ancestors to their summoned creatures, allowing them to gain skills.
Gao Mengtang planned to get an ID card for his brother. After he obtained the player identity, his skills as a summoned creature would be invalidated. In order not to waste precious items, he gave all 5 [Ancestral Remains (Level 8)] to the Hundred-Eyed Wizard, unlocking a new skill [Be Careful]
: Be careful and look around. Seeing is not always believing, but if you can't see, you will definitely die easily.
After using the skill, [000 Blind] can leave one of the Hundred Eyes Wizard's eyes anywhere, gaining a 360° view of the area without blind spots. There is no distance limit, the eye exists for 1 hour, and the cooldown time is 12 hours.
Note: The eyeball will be found. After the eyeball is shattered, the field of vision disappears.
That is to say, a surveillance camera is installed anywhere on the map. After placing the eye, Gao Mengtang can observe the area from all angles through a God's perspective.
：I haven’t seen my wife for a long time, what a pleasant experience.
: How long will it take to release the first video? I miss it so much.
：【No People, Only Gold】is a long-duration dungeon, and it seems to take 15 days to complete. I estimate that even if the blind perform well, it will take at least five hours before the first video is available.
: Dry weather, dry weather.

In the game.
A man in a black suit threw two packages on the ground and said to the players, "Security team, right? Go to your dormitory, change your clothes, and report to the security center at 3 pm. The dormitory number is written on the back of the name tag."
The clothes were thrown on the grass and the man in the black suit walked away in a hurry.
"It seems that this time, we have been given an identity by the copy - the security team." Bai Jie picked out his clothes and shook them off.
A set of superhero-style tights commonly seen in movies, with a white base color, and wrist guards, knee pads, chest and back, covered with light blue metal, giving it a very technological feel.
There were 6 boys and 2 girls in the team. The dormitory was for 2 people. When Gao Mengtang got there, he was stunned.
You can’t choose your own dormitory! He and [666 Devil] are roommates!
"Can I apply to change dormitories?" He Lun hugged Gao Mengtang and refused to let go, breaking down and crying, "Brother, I want to share a dormitory with you! Brother! I can't bear to leave you alone!"
Gao Mengtang leaned back, afraid that his snot would rub against his body. He guessed that He Lun was so devastated not only because he could not live with his spiritual support, but also because his roommate was Wei Wei.
The four of them gathered in dormitory No. 502, which was the dormitory of He Lun and Wei Wei. When Gao Mengtang dragged him in, He Lun cried as if his teammate had died.
"Can I apply for a dormitory change? Brother, I want to protect you——!"
Wei Wei gritted his teeth and spat out two words from the corner of his mouth: "Shut up." Then he turned to Gao Mengtang and said, "In the copy, once the room is designated, it basically cannot be changed. Duan Song is not easy to deal with, you have to be careful..."
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a knock on the door. He turned around and saw a skinny boy with dry skin and unusually bright eyes.
There were a few characters on his head: [432 God Stick], and he said excitedly: "Blind, blind man! I am your fan!"
Before Gao Mengtang could say anything, the charlatan asked again, eager to verify: "Are you really an ancient god?"
Gao Mengtang: "I..."
According to his previous ideas, deception is wrong and he must deny it outright. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Wei Wei standing behind him emphasize:
"Human."
A simple word, but weighs more than Mount Tai.
Gao Mengtang thought of Yue Fan's glorious mission, and suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders. He didn't say the denial. He didn't want to deceive others, so he didn't know how to react. He paused for a few seconds and could only smile.
There was a gleam in the charlatan's eyes.
What does it mean to smile without saying anything?
It is unspeakable! It is unknowable!
As the saying goes, the Buddha picked up a flower and Kasyapa smiled, everything is self-evident! The charlatan left with a word "I understand" and left in a flash.
At the corner of the stairs, [100 Pastors] and [780 Lucky People] were waiting for him. When they saw him coming, they asked him repeatedly, "How is it? Did you ask?"
The charlatan put his hands behind his back and shook his head pretentiously, sighing before speaking: "I can't say it, I can't say it."
"There's nothing you can't say. Don't play dumb." The pastor frowned in dissatisfaction.
The charlatan thought of "the smile of the blind Gao Mengtang" and suddenly felt like pretending to be cool. He followed suit, raised his face and smiled mysteriously.
The two girls looked at each other and suddenly realized.
"I understand! Gao Mengtang is really an ancient god!"
A voice behind him shouted, "What god? Gao Mengtang, the new security team member?"
A man in a black suit stood at the bottom of the stairs, staring at them warily.
What answered him were three people, three smiling faces, who smiled without saying anything.
Black suit: "..."
No, you are sick!

On the other side, in the room, Wei Wei closed the door, leaving only Yue Fan and four others in the room, and then handed Gao Mengtang a skill scroll.
Gao Mengtang couldn't see clearly: "What scroll is this?"
"Selling myself indentures." Wei Wei said, "I am not yet your follower. Please sign it, and you will feel more at ease. My name has been signed."
Wei Wei held Gao Mengtang's wrist, put his hand in the correct position, and handed him a pen.
The pen tip paused for only half a second before Gao Mengtang threw it down.
"I won't sign it." Gao Mengtang said, "It's called a contract of sale, I don't need it. It doesn't matter whether you are my follower or not. What matters is that I believe in you."
Believe you.
When these three words were spoken, Wei Wei's whole body shook and he stared at his current leader in surprise.
Memories kept flashing back, the past was like a tide flooding over his head, and the only thing left in his ears was Wei Wei's own breathing.
"...Wei Wei, it's not that I don't trust you. But Black Tower is a life-threatening game. If it were you, would you dare to place your life on the illusory 'trust'?"
"Go ahead and do what I say. Don't blame me."
A hand reached out and took off the [Ghost Bamboo] token earring from Wei Wei's earlobe.
…
He Lun and Bai Jie were also surprised. They didn't expect Wei Wei to react so strongly. They were so scared that they dared not breathe.
The light from the desk lamp illuminated half of Wei Wei's face, and a tea stalk was inserted in his ear hole.
Suddenly, a system prompt sounded: "[101 Body Cleansing Master] admires your character and has become your [Follower]!"
“The highlights have been edited and uploaded to the platform.”
Gao Mengtang: ...What is going on here!
