Qiyun and Zuo Xiang looked a little ugly at this moment.

It's obvious.

Because of what Li Yinchuan just said, the two of them have almost figured out the deeper meaning of the two tasks.

But after figuring out the real difficulty of the two tasks in this copy.

Even though both of them are top players, they still felt a little depressed.

The difficulty of this copy is greater than any of their previous copies.

And the difficulty of growing it out is not a little bit.

In fact, if Li Yinchuan had not taken the initiative to "sacrifice" himself and explore with his physical body, the two of them might have had to spend a lot of effort to figure out the essence of this copy.

Thinking of this, Qiyun and Zuo Xiang couldn't help but look at Li Yinchuan with a bit of awe.

All I can say is that he is worthy of being the one who can get the first-circle information from the two evil ghost bosses in the novice area of ​​the horror world. He is indeed not something that ordinary top players can compare with.

The two of them just roughly estimated that the activity time would be about eighteen hours.

Li Yinchuan's loss of three hours was even worse than their eighteen hours.

Not even a day.

As the top players in China, the three of them can be said to share the same glory.

The remaining fifteen hours of Li Yinchuan's time are also a pressure for Qiyun and Zuo Xiang.

Within fifteen hours, they must find a way to replenish and extend the shadow.

Otherwise, after fifteen hours, there is a great possibility that Li Yinchuan will be trapped in the "Blood Sea and Mysterious Town" forever.

"Senior, what are you going to do?"

After taking a deep breath, the two decided to ask Li Yinchuan for his opinion first. After all, it was Li Yinchuan who first experimented with the connection between shadows and time.

But as the person involved only had fifteen hours, Li Yinchuan did not show the slightest sign of anxiety on his face.

He glanced at the bottle of water that already belonged to him in his hand.

Li Yinchuan's gaze fell on the ghost behind the counter again.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after completing the transaction with Li Yinchuan and gaining three hours, the ghost at the counter’s originally dull expression seemed to become a little more lively.

Li Yinchuan stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the ghost behind the counter.

But this time, the expected mechanical answer did not appear.

The ghost at the counter glanced at Li Yinchuan, and new questions arose from the ghost at the counter.

"Guest, do you have anything else you need to buy?"

Hearing what the ghost at the counter said, Qiyun and Zuo Xiang beside Li Yinchuan took a few steps back imperceptibly, and the eyes of the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly became strange.

They all understood what was needed to trade between them.

That is the most precious time in the Blood Sea Strange Town. Once it is used up, there is a high probability that you will be stuck in the Blood Sea Strange Town forever.

After Li Yinchuan’s first experiment, how could anyone continue to waste their time on trading?

[: This ghost at the counter, is it possible that he is taking advantage of the anchor and is only thinking about selling things? ]

One audience member couldn't help but complain.

In the copy, the only one who could still maintain his original attitude towards the ghost at the counter was Li Yinchuan.

And this time, Li Yinchuan did as the audience expected and did not respond to the ghost at the counter's continued attempts to sell things.

The new changes in the words used by the ghost at the counter this time have already explained something.

At this moment, the ghost of the counter is no longer as mechanical and rigid as it was at the beginning.

At least, we can continue some communication.

Li Yinchuan hesitated for a moment, and after a moment, his voice slowly rang out.

"Are you here to collect something?"

And this time, I heard what Li Yinchuan said.

The surprised eyes of the audience in the live broadcast room and Qiyun and Zuo Xiang immediately fell on Li Yinchuan.

They thought Li Yinchuan would say a lot, but they never expected that Li Yinchuan would actually ask back, "Do you want to accept the gift?"

But after thinking about it carefully, everyone found that Li Yinchuan's question seemed to be correct.

Since the counter ghost can exchange the goods in his grocery store for Li Yinchuan's time, then conversely, if Li Yinchuan really has something that the counter ghost needs, can't he also exchange it for time?

Immediately afterwards, the reply from the ghost at the counter made the audience in the live broadcast room excited.

The ghost at the counter did not remain silent in response to Li Yinchuan's question.

After the counter ghost was silent for about a few seconds, the slightly agile voice of the counter ghost slowly sounded.

The content is very short, only one word.

"receive."

【：It really is collected. It seems that the host’s idea is correct. 】

An audience member in the live broadcast room couldn't help but say.

Then, doubts arose again.

Although the ghost at the counter said to collect the things, Li Yinchuan had just entered the dungeon and had nothing on him. This grocery store was the first place Li Yinchuan entered.

Can Li Yinchuan really produce something that the counter ghost would like?

Li Yinchuan naturally thought of this.

But at this moment, Li Yinchuan still had fifteen hours left, so he naturally wouldn't be so anxious to get something to exchange time.

As long as he could find out what the ghost at the counter wanted, the remaining fifteen hours would be enough for Li Yinchuan to travel around the entire Blood Sea Town and get what the ghost at the counter needed.

"What do you collect here?"

Li Yinchuan asked.

Along with Li Yinchuan's question.

The ghost at the counter once again fell into a long silence.

Li Yinchuan was not in a hurry either. He just stood in front of the counter and waited quietly.

Finally, the voice of the ghost at the counter sounded again.

"The corners in the store are dirty, and there are no cleaning tools in the store. I need some tools to clean the dust in the corners."

After saying this, the ghost at the counter pointed to a corner deep inside the grocery store.

Li Yinchuan and others looked over there.

You can clearly see the specialness of that corner.

The rest of the grocery store is clean and dust-free.

Only on the ground in that corner, there was a dark red solidified substance that looked like blood.

Earlier, when Li Yinchuan and his companions had just entered the grocery store, they had seen this blood-like solidified substance in the corner when they searched the entire grocery store, but they did not pay much attention to it.

After all, in horror games, such places stained with blood are too common and will not attract much attention from others.

"Cleaning tools? I understand."

Li Yinchuan nodded and continued to ask.

"Is there anything else?"

"there is none left."

The ghost at the counter shook his head and stopped talking.

But for now, what I learned from the ghost at the counter was enough.

As long as they can collect cleaning tools that satisfy the counter ghost from other places, they can buy time from the counter ghost and extend their own shadows.

Li Yinchuan and the other two who were in the grocery store looked at each other.

At this moment in the grocery store, we have learned what everyone wanted to know, and have a partial understanding of this copy.

The three of them looked at each other and indicated that they wanted to leave the grocery store first.

Led by Li Yinchuan, they walked out of the grocery store holding the bottle of water they bought from the grocery store.

Soon after, Qiyun and Zuo Lin followed.

As they were about to leave, the voice of the ghost at the counter sounded again behind the three of them.

"Welcome to visit us next time."

…

It was exactly the same experience as when I entered the grocery store earlier.

The moment the three people left the grocery store, their vision was briefly plunged into darkness.

After darkness fell, when the vision in front of their eyes gradually cleared, they were already outside the grocery store again.

Turn around, stand outside the grocery store and look inside.

At this moment, the interior of the grocery store was once again dusty and empty.

But everyone knows that everything they see outside the venue is just an illusion.

If you want to know the true appearance of different places, you have to go inside a place yourself.

He looked around.

Standing on the road in the strange town of blood sea, the surroundings were too terrifyingly quiet. There was not a single unnecessary sound except for the faint sounds made by Li Yinchuan and the other two breathing.

Qiyun and Zuo Xiang's eyes involuntarily fell on Li Yinchuan's shadow on the ground.

Li Yinchuan's light shadow on the ground remained the same as before, and everything below his calves had disappeared.

At the same time, the three people's minds returned to the items that the ghost at the counter had mentioned they needed.

"Cleaning tools."

When these four words appear in everyone's mind, the first items that come to mind are the most common items such as brooms and mops.

But it is obvious that it is impossible for these cleaning tools to appear out of thin air when standing on the road in the bloody town.

Therefore, if you want to get the cleaning tools needed to clean the counter ghost, you must go to other buildings.

These things can only be found in other buildings.

Think of this.

Qiyun and Zuo Xiang frowned slightly.

They could identify some of the surrounding buildings, such as supermarkets, restaurants and the like.

The rest are so unclear what they are.

When they needed cleaning tools, their first reaction was naturally to go to the "supermarket" in the strange town of Blood Sea.

But on second thought, something was not right.

In the grocery store, it took Li Yinchuan three hours to buy just a bottle of water.

If they really go to the supermarket to buy cleanup items, wouldn't that also take time? If the time the counter ghost is willing to spend exceeds the time they spend buying cleanup items, then it's fine.

If you spend more time in the supermarket than the ghost at the counter is willing to spend, it will not be worth it.

Now that they haven't gotten the cleaning items yet, it's obviously impossible for them to know how much compensation they will get for their time because of the ghost at the counter.

If the compensation is less than the time spent, that would be fun, and you would just become a philanthropist who pays for work.

The two of them had to consider this issue.

As for robbery?

In horror game copies, the forced action method is usually used when there is no other choice.

But now, they still have more than ten hours left, so it is obviously not time yet.

Besides, their understanding of the Blood Sea Mysterious Town is not thorough enough. Only because of Li Yinchuan’s sacrifice did they figure out the true nature of the two tasks in the copy and the special mechanism between time and transaction. The rest is still confusing.

Even if they are top players with impressive abilities, they cannot just act rashly when everything is unknown.

Therefore, if they wanted to obtain the cleaning tools needed to remove the counter ghost, they had to at least obtain them in a way that did not consume much time.

Only if they don't waste their own time to obtain the cleaning items, the three of them will not lose money no matter how much time the counter ghost gives them as a reward.

But that being said, it is much easier said than done.

"Let's go check out some other places first, let's go."

Just as the two were hesitating and thinking, Li Yinchuan's voice rang out.

At this moment, Li Yinchuan had already left the grocery store and was heading towards another place next to the grocery store.

But suddenly, Li Yinchuan paused, turned around and looked at Qi Yun and Zuo Xiang behind him.

This time, the two did not follow.

As if they saw what Li Yinchuan was about to ask, Qiyun and Zuo Xiang looked at each other and spoke first.

"Senior, we already have a preliminary understanding of the conditions inside these places, but if we continue to enter the same place as three people, the efficiency will be too slow. My idea is that it would be better for the three of us to enter different places separately. In this way, as long as one of us can get the cleaning tools, we can also solve the problem at the grocery store."

Hearing this, Li Yinchuan's expression changed slightly.

In previous dungeons, Li Yinchuan was used to taking other players with him.

But this time, after entering the dungeon, several players gathered together at the first moment.

But compared to the players Li Yinchuan had met before.

The strength of Qiyun and Zuo Xiang is much higher than those previous players.

As top players, they naturally do not need to accept Li Yinchuan's care like the players Li Yinchuan met before.

Although they could not face the copy as calmly as Li Yinchuan, they were all confident enough in their own abilities and were confident that they could handle many situations.

In this case, if the three of them act separately, the efficiency will indeed be much higher, and there is no need to worry about the safety of others.

Thinking of this, Li Yinchuan did not refuse and nodded slightly.

"Since you have this idea, then act separately."

After deciding to split up, the three of them didn't waste any more time and headed for different places near the grocery store. (End of this chapter)
