Chapter 011 Rest Area - Archives of Lies (0)
Jiang Minxu was very happy to be able to recognize his younger brother.
Although the process was somewhat dramatic and Liu Tang's exposure of the truth was unintentional, President Jiang still expressed his gratitude to Liu Tang very solemnly.
He originally wanted to give the other party some props or points, but the other party was unable to receive the player's clearance points and could not use the props.
So Jiang Minxu transferred a considerable amount of ghost money to Liu Tang, which was enough for him to spend lavishly in the rest area of the underworld for a long time.
Liu Tang was quite surprised to see that he also had an account for ghost money. He said that the president was too polite and accepted it readily.
To be honest, he has actually received the best thank-you gift, which is exploration points.
The subsequent guild visit was originally an excuse for Liu Tang to eat melons. Mo Qianhe showed little interest and was very perfunctory.
Liu Tang looked around curiously and praised the guild's various facilities.
But he was the dungeon boss, and Jiang Minxu didn't know whether he should recruit him to join the guild, or whether he could recruit him to join the guild, so he didn't bring it up.
"Oh, by the way, does everyone have the skill of turning hair red that you mentioned?" Liu Tang asked Min Liang curiously.
"New players don't have it, but after clearing a few dungeons, you can use 500 points to unlock your innate skills, so most experienced players will have it." Min Liang replied.
"500 points? That expensive?!"
Seeing Liu Tang's surprise, Mo Qianhe explained: "Once a skill is unlocked, it can be used all the time. Compared to props, it is still more cost-effective."
"Yes! To get props, you either have to rely on luck to get them after clearing dungeons, or spend 50 points in the system mall to draw prop chests. Not only do you often get useless props, but they are also disposable, so it really hurts to use them." Min Liang sighed.
Jiang Minxu continued, "Also, you can only use two items in a dungeon. Unlike skills, you can use them an unlimited number of times as long as the cooldown is sufficient."
Several people were complaining about the unscrupulous system and had already reached the door of the guild.
Mo Qianhe couldn't wait to say goodbye to Min Liang and Jiang Minxu, and pulled Liu Tang away.
Jiang Minxu understood that Mo Qianhe was just looking for an excuse to watch the fun, so he didn't expose it. He just said, "Since Mr. Mo wants to understand our guild, why don't you come with me next time? After all, understanding the guild leader is quite important."
Mo Qianhe didn't care. He had spent a lot of points recently anyway. With a powerful old player to go through the dungeon with him, he could also choose a dungeon with a high risk factor but high returns.
He turned around to ask Liu Tang for his opinion.
"Ah, I just caused such a big mess for those two brothers. Even though the ending was good, I still deserve some compensation."
Liu Tang was thinking about it and was about to persuade Mo Qianhe to agree when he heard the other party say in tacit understanding: "Okay, then... let's go to the dungeon together in three days?"
Jiang Minxu didn't expect that the other party would only rest for three days. He was slightly surprised and agreed with a smile.
After all, this guy was a notorious "book-going maniac" after entering the game, and the difficulty of "Evil Mirror Ding Ba" was low, so it was like a vacation for him.
As soon as Mo Qianhe and the other two left, someone from the Poshan Guild came to report to Jiang Minxu: "Mo Qianhe's total points ranking has fallen out of the top ten."
Before Jiang Minxu could open his mouth, he heard the other party add, "We just confirmed the list of the top 50, and Mo Qianhe is confirmed not even in the top 50."
Jiang Minxu opened the system panel and looked at the player list.
He happens to be a friend of the current 50th player and can check his points.
After checking his friend's total points, Jiang Minxu speculated, "It seems that Mo Qianhe used at least 2,000 points in this dungeon."
Min Liang was shocked. "Two thousand points?! Just to get the Boss out of the dungeon?! That's two thousand points!"
Jiang Minxu looked at his brother, and said with some pampering and helplessness: "It should be said that 2,000 points can actually lead the Boss out of the dungeon.
“If Mo Qianhe hadn’t tried, who would have thought that the Boss could actually be taken out of the dungeon.
"And Liu Tang isn't just any boss. Didn't Mo Qianhe say they were friends in life? This means Liu Tang might have been a human like us.
"If what Mo Qianhe said is true, then Liu Tang's existence will be crucial for us to understand the nature of the copy."
Min Liang finally understood the whole thing: "No wonder this swindler wanted to get Liu Tang out of the dungeon at all costs. So this is his purpose!"
If Mo Qianhe, who had already left, heard the conversation between the two, he would definitely feel helpless.
He really didn't think that much, he just wanted to find his childhood friend.
At this time, Liu Tang had followed him to the apartment area for non-guild players.
As soon as the two walked through the door, they were automatically transported into the room.
"Wow, I don't even have to go into the residential complex or go upstairs. I can get home in one step. It's so convenient." Liu Tang sighed.
Mo Qianhe smiled and said, "After all, they are all single-player players, so this can effectively prevent tracking. Although players are not allowed to attack each other in the rest area, there are still ways to prevent theft."
Liu Tang nodded and began to visit Mo Qianhe's home.
Although this apartment is not very big, it still feels spacious for two people to live in it.
The house has only the most simple basic decoration, without too many decorations, and is filled with cold and neatness.
For some reason, Liu Tang always felt that this feeling was very familiar.
Walking into the bedroom, Liu Tang was surprised to find that there were two single beds in the room, with a row of wardrobes on each side of the beds.
"Because I thought I would meet you again one day, I prepared two beds in advance. I wonder if you mind sharing a bedroom with me?" Mo Qianhe said behind him.
Liu Tang looked back at Mo Qianhe happily: "I thought I would have to sleep on the sofa! Of course I'll sleep on the bed if there's one! Thank you, Boss Mo!"
When Mo Qianhe heard this name, his heart tightened, because this person used to call him that.
He asked uncertainly, "Why did you call me that? Did you remember something?"
Liu Tang was stunned for a moment, then replied, "After all, you are my breadwinner now. If not boss, what else can I call you?"
Mo Qianhe smiled.
Sure enough, I still can’t remember.
He walked to a bed, opened the wardrobe, and tried to show it to the other party: "Here are some daily clothes prepared for you. You can take off your long gown and change it."
Liu Tang praised Mo Qianhe's taste in clothes while observing Mo Qianhe's expression.
Seeing that the other party was a little lost, he asked, "So what kind of person was I before? What did we go through together before? Do you want to tell me?"
Mo Qianhe looked at the other person's serious expression, raised his hand to touch the other person's head, but stopped.
He took a step back and said, "No. I don't want you to feel any unnecessary pressure. I don't want you to be constantly comparing yourself to the person you've already forgotten. Just do whatever makes you happy."
"Our past is in the past. If one day you can remember it, we can reminisce together. If not, I will keep this precious memory by myself.
"Now, just treat me as a new friend."
【This person is a little weird.】
[You didn't want me to know, but you told me that it was my childhood friend. ]
[She was obviously a bit angry and didn't want to tell me directly, insisting that I remember it myself.]
Liu Tang thought.
When Mo Qianhe heard this, his whole body stiffened.
【But...it's kind of cute in a weird way.】
Liu Tang thought about this and laughed: "Okay, then it's nice to meet you. My name is Liu Tang."
Liu Tang took Mo Qianhe's somewhat bewildered hand and shook it.
Mo Qianhe looked at the two people shaking hands, and after a while he looked up at each other, smiling a little uncomfortably: "Nice to meet you, my name is Mo Qianhe."
Even if this person forgets the past, he still has the gentleness to not expose himself.
He always touches himself like this again and again.
The two became roommates. During the three days of rest, Mo Qianhe took Liu Tang to many places to eat.
Although people in the rest area of the underworld can survive without eating and are not troubled by hunger, everyone tacitly maintains the habit of eating.
It seems that only in this way can they feel that they are still alive and not completely dead.
When someone wants to eat delicious food, there are people willing to do the catering business. Players use a small amount of points to exchange for enough ghost money for consumption, and the sellers use the ghost money they earn for other entertainment expenses.
Liu Tang ate the delicious pea noodles and said cheerfully, "How long can players stay in the rest area? I feel like eating and drinking every day is pretty comfortable."
"After completing the dungeon, players can rest for 7 days for free. If they want to rest longer, they must redeem points. One point per day." Mo Qianhe replied.
Liu Tang nodded. If the player is not in a hurry to complete the game, the points earned after each completion can be used to waste a lot of time in the rest area.
Liu Tang wanted to earn more exploration points by watching the dungeon live broadcast, so he asked Mo Qianhe to teach him.
While studying, Liu Tang asked, "Is there a fee to watch the live broadcast?"
Mo Qianhe smiled and said, "This is probably the most humane aspect of the system. There is no charge for watching the live broadcast."
Liu Tang nodded: "Tsk tsk, why do I feel that this matter is not simple."
"You guessed right," Mo Qianke clicked on the live broadcast interface and continued, "Although the live broadcast is free, if a player clears a dungeon that they have already watched live, their points will be halved."
"Pfft, it's a profit, the system still makes money." Liu Tang switched the camera while observing the players on the screen.
Mo Qianhe extended his analysis: "Not only that, once a player clears a dungeon, and other players learn the clearance skills through live streaming, the players' clearance time will be shortened, the survival rate will increase, the dungeon's difficulty rating will be lowered, and the guaranteed clearance points will also be reduced."
Liu Tang nodded: "I understand, the system wins."
After cutting a few shots, he found that he could not see the cause and effect lines between players through the screen, and even if he ate some melons, his points would not increase at all.
It seems that the screen function of this live broadcast cannot be compared with the mirrors in the "Wanjing Garden".
To earn points you still have to watch it live.
Liu Tang was regretting that he couldn't earn exploration points by watching live broadcasts, when he suddenly received 100 points from the hosted "Wanjing Garden".
Although it’s not much, a mosquito leg is still meat!
Thinking that he could earn points just by playing around, Liu Tang no longer felt disgusted.
Three days passed in a flash. On the morning of the fourth day, Liu Tang and Mo Qianhe had a hearty breakfast together, and then went to the "Ruben Building" to meet with Jiang Minxu, the president of the Poshan Guild.
It’s still that glass-walled building with a glazed roof and flying eaves. After looking at it again, it seems much more pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Minxu used the "single binding card" to bind with Mo Qianhe. Liu Tang was already bound to Mo Qianhe, and the three of them were teleported into the room where the copy was drawn together.
Compared to the empty room when you leave the book, the room you enter has three chairs and an operation panel in the center of the room.
Liu Tang asked President Jiang curiously, "So players have to bind if they want to play a dungeon together? Does the 'binding card' you use count as an item? Will it deduct your item usage?"
Jiang Minxu was quite impressed by Liu Tang's acumen and replied, "Indeed, that's why I can only use the item once in the next dungeon. But I don't rely too much on items, so it's okay."
Liu Tang patted his chest and said, "It's okay. If you run out of props, I will protect you at the critical moment."
Jiang Minxu accepted the other party's kindness with a smile.
What surprised him more was that Liu Tang, as the dungeon boss, actually wanted to go through the dungeon with them. This was the first time he had seen this.
Maybe I can gain a lot from this instinct test, and this "binding card" is worth using.
Mo Qianhe had already started operating the panel while they were chatting.
There are three ways for players to choose a copy.
The first type is completely random drawing, with an uncertain difficulty and uncertain returns. The only advantage is that the drawing is free.
The second is random extraction with specified difficulty.
The dungeon is automatically divided into three difficulty levels of "low, medium, and high" according to the player's clearance speed and survival rate, and the guaranteed clearance income also increases accordingly.
After the player specifies the difficulty, they will be randomly selected from the dungeon pool of the corresponding difficulty.
The extraction fee is 10% of the clearance income.
Most players will choose this method to pass the level.
Players who want to save their lives will choose low-difficulty copies, while strong players will choose high-difficulty copies in order to accumulate 10,000 points faster.
The third method is the one Mo Qianhe used last time, using the "designated copy admission ticket" to designate a copy to enter.
Since the "Designated Dungeon Entrance Ticket" can only be obtained accidentally in the dungeon rewards, it is extremely rare and has a high price in the player's second-hand trading market, so this is the least used method.
After Mo Qianhe selected the high-difficulty copy, he confirmed with the two people, and after receiving their affirmative answers, he pressed the draw button.
At the same time, Liu Tang's system panel also popped up the identity selection interface:
[Specified identity: 100 points]
[Random Identity: 10 Points]
Liu Tang was speechless. Is there no free option?!
The dog system has nothing to do with humans!
He painfully chose 10 points to draw a random identity.
[The dog system wants 100 points from me? No way!]
Just as Mo Qianhe heard Liu Tang's inner voice, the results of the extraction popped up on the panel in front of them. A system announcement rang out in their ears: "The dungeon 'Tongue-Pulling Hell Wujiu Lie Archives' is about to be loaded. Players, please prepare yourself."
A system pop-up window also appeared in front of Liu Tang:
[Obtained identity: Archives Guide NPC]
[Another guide NPC, alright, I'm familiar with this one.]
When Mo Qianhe heard this, he was about to laugh, but he saw Jiang Minxu's face beside him turned extremely bad.
Although Mo Qianhe has watched many dungeon live broadcasts, the focus is always on finding people, so he doesn't know much about the dungeon situations that he has not experienced personally.
As the president, Jiang Minxu often gathers everyone to study copies, so he is more informed about this aspect.
He looked at Mo Qianhe and Liu Tang and said, "The survival rate of this dungeon is only 1% at the moment. No one has come up with a strategy yet, and the video footage is incomplete..."
Before he could finish his words, the three of them suddenly felt dizzy and entered the dungeon.
When Liu Tang opened his eyes again, he found that everything around him was full of "cartoon feeling", and it was a simple cartoon drawn by someone who was not very good at painting.
The walls and tabletops are outlined with skewed lines and the colors are extremely simple.
Fortunately, the ground was flat, so at least I could stand steadily.
After trying hard to distinguish, he confirmed that he was standing at the front desk of an archive room.
The duties that NPCs need to fulfill flooded into my mind.
After digesting the information, he looked down and found that his clothes had changed to a shirt and casual trousers, which looked fresh and professional.
After getting his bearings, Liu Tang stood up and walked to the door outside the archives. He opened it and saw the players who had just loaded into the dungeon. He smiled excitedly, "You're the newcomers helping out in the archives today! Come on, come on, we're waiting for you!"
Jiang Minxu looked at the other person's expectant expression, and his heavy mood began to unbearable.
