Chapter 190
During the entire winter vacation, Xingnuo and 067 sneaked into the dungeon to transport energy.
They did this like mice digging holes, stealing a little here and a little there. On the night when the winter vacation ended, the entire copy was filled with traces of the two people stealing energy.
Xingnuo was wearing plush pajamas inside and a windbreaker outside, hiding in the corner and looking around furtively.
"This instance is a merry-go-round. It's very low level and is mainly for torturing players."
Lu Qi told Xingnuo the information and couldn't help asking:
"Why don't we steal all the energy from this copy every time we steal energy, but just steal half of it and leave?"
Xingnuo looked at the people on the carousel. The couple on it had sworn to love each other in the beginning, but ended up cursing and resenting each other, and even slapped each other after getting off.
"Of course we can't steal them all. After stealing the energy copy, we have to close it. This will definitely attract the attention of that clown monster."
Xingnuo retracted his gaze, put his hat on his head, squatted in the corner and said:
"It's best to steal more than half of it. The dungeon won't be closed, but the energy will be reduced. The clearance rate of other players and ordinary people will increase, and they won't be killed so easily."
Lu Qi said: "Yes, Xingnuo you are amazing!"
Lu Qi was jumping in Xingnuo's mind. Xingnuo could feel the other person's excitement beating like a pulse and couldn't help laughing.
"well enough."
When this round of the carousel was about to start, Xingnuo took advantage of the flower bed and moved closer little by little.
Still only touching the edge of the copy, Xingnuo asked:
“Is this distance enough?”
Lu Qi was about to answer when he saw a couple running towards him hurriedly from behind. He didn't notice that there was a person hiding at his feet and bumped into Xing Nuo directly.
Xingnuo didn't squat steadily enough, his body swayed and he fell forward.
Just this one move allowed the carousel copy to detect it.
"Player Xingnuo, please get on the Trojan horse and get ready!"
The cold warning voice sounded three times in a row. Xingnuo had no choice but to sigh, stand up and find the nearest wooden horse to sit on.
The radio is reminding again:
"This instance is a two-player cooperative instance. If you participate in the game alone, it will be considered a failure!"
Xingnuo had a bad feeling and looked around. Players and ordinary people were hiding all over the park. Where could he find someone to join the game in such a short time?
Just when Xingnuo was thinking that today's mission was not going well and he had to think of another way out, Lu Qi suddenly said:
"I can team up with Xingnuo."
Xingnuo was surprised to see a stream of ice-blue data appearing in front of his eyes. Just like in a science fiction movie, it pieced together the appearance of a teenager of sixteen or seventeen years old.
Lu Qi stood straight, his face still as cold and pale as before, his glowing ice-blue eyes without a trace of emotion, he just stared at Xing Nuo blankly.
After blinking, Lu Qi's eyes showed a little more expression, and he still spoke in a stiff voice:
"I'll team up with Xingnuo."
Xing Nuo nodded, looking at Lu Qi's electronic mechanical body with curiosity. Seeing that his movements became extremely stiff again, he couldn't help but say:
“Is this body your own?”
Lu Qi sat on the small wooden horse next to Xingnuo and nodded with a serious tone.
"Yes, when I first bound to you, there was only one chip. At that time, the biggest goal of all systems was to have a body of my own."
“But my energy was never enough, it was always far from enough, and in the end I still couldn’t have my own body.”
Xingnuo wondered again: "But don't you have it now?"
Lu Qi smiled with a very small arc, tilted his head and said:
"Yes, but at that time, Xingnuo, you were no longer here."
After Xingnuo's death, Lu Qi, as a string of data, absorbed energy from various worlds, pieced it together, and finally created a body for himself.
But he also faced the danger of being shut down, and his body became weak and small, stiff and numb, and he fell into a group of zombies, where he was recognized as a little zombie by a group of zombies.
Xingnuo couldn't help laughing and nodded. Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, he heard the sound of the wooden horse starting to spin.
"Players, please take your seats and start answering the first question—"
“Do you know him/her well enough?”
Xingnuo and Lu Qi didn't think twice and gave two answers: "Yes/No."
Lu Qi answered yes, but Xing Nuo felt that he didn’t know Lu Qi well enough, so he answered no.
The little couple in front, who were one step ahead of Xingnuo, answered yes in unison, but both were hit on the head by the toy ball hanging above the wooden horse.
This means the answer is dishonest.
Xingnuo and Lu Qi were not punished.
Lu Qi whispered, "I've been sleeping for too long, Xingnuo doesn't understand me anymore."
This made Lu Qi feel a little melancholy, thinking that if he had been stronger at the beginning, he would have never been separated from Xingnuo.
This carousel is also known as the "Trust Collapse Game". All the questions can hit the depths of human heart and make you sweat.
"Have you ever betrayed someone?"
Xingnuo/Lu Qi: “No.”
The toy ball did not fall down, and the man and the system smiled at each other.
The couple in front who were trying the level remained silent and didn't answer for a long time, allowing the toy ball to hit them on the head.
In addition, there were two players who came to complete the level with their teammates. They answered no in a hurry, but were hit on the head by the ball.
The questions continued, and this time they were more pointed:
"The Trojan Horse monster will attack. Please answer at the same time and choose one person to accept the attack. If the answers are the same, the attack will be cancelled."
The broadcast deliberately did not state the consequences of the inconsistency.
But players all know that this time it’s not likely that the ball will just hit their heads!
This is a fatal question!
The young couple's hands were shaking. A piece of cardboard appeared out of nowhere in front of them. Their fingertips were trembling so much that they could hardly hold the pen.
This question not only tests the tacit understanding, but also tests each other's conscience.
No one wants to be attacked by monsters!
In this kind of horror game, once the monsters start killing, they don’t know if they can survive!
The boy in the couple wrote down the girl's name without thinking, his fingertips trembling, and looked up in the direction of the girl.
He was restricted by the rules and couldn't speak. He could only look at the girl with pleading eyes.
Girls are usually love-minded and might even write their own names.
But when the girl saw the boy's eyes, her heart sank in an instant.
She thought that the sense of responsibility that boys usually showed would definitely help them protect themselves when they were really in danger!
But now, the other party wrote her name without hesitation!
The girl's chest suddenly felt cold, and she felt very disappointed. She knew that it would be most appropriate for her to write her own name, but she felt blocked in her heart and didn't want to let the boy have his way!
She raised the answer angrily, looked at the astonishment, shock and hatred on the boy's face, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
The broadcast voice determined that both people answered incorrectly.
"Congratulations, you answered incorrectly. The system will randomly select a participant to attack."
The next moment, something appeared in front of the boy’s eyes. He opened his mouth and howled, and fell off the wooden horse in pain and rolled to the ground.
The girls also went down and started biting and fighting with the boys.
Xingnuo was thinking with a pen in hand.
Xingnuo had a hunch that Lu Qi would definitely write his own name!
Sure enough, after finishing writing, Lu Qi leaned on the wooden horse's head, tilted his face, and the blue light in his eyes kept flashing.
The expectation in Lu Qi's eyes was almost turning into reality, he wished he could use blue light to spell out the two words "Lu Qi" and let Xing Nuo write it down!
Seeing Xing Nuo staring at him without blinking and not moving his pen, Lu Qi couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
He opened his mouth and kept reminding her, almost shouting out loud.
Xing Nuo looked at Lu Qi's anxious expression through the pole of the wooden horse. His cold white skin seemed to be stained with a hint of anxious red, and there was more emotion in his eyes. He finally didn't look like a cold system anymore.
Xingnuo smiled, revealing a sweet dimple, and said:
"Lu Qi, you look like a real person."
Lu Qi seemed to be stunned by this sentence. He stood there in a daze, looking stupid, his eyes were wide open, and even the blue light looked silly.
"Me? I look like a human?"
When we first bound, Xingnuo always yelled:
"067, you are such a heartless person, you can only be a system forever! You can never be a human being!"
067 didn't care and coldly gave Xingnuo an electric shock, then watched him fall to the ground without caring at all.
"What's so good about being a human? Being weak and incompetent like you?"
But later, 067 wanted to become a human because of Xingnuo.
He was most afraid of hearing Xingnuo say, "067, no matter how much you imitate, you still don't look like a human."
This is even more painful for 067 than destroying the system chip!
But now, Xingnuo praised him!
067 For a moment, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Although it was stiff, it was still filled with joy.
“That’s great!”
Xingnuo also thought it was a good idea. He picked up the pen and wrote down Lu Qi's name.
Lu Qi looked at the answer announced by Xingnuo, with his name written on it. He stretched his neck, wishing he could lie on it to see enough.
"Xingnuo wrote my name for the first time!"
Lu Qi is so happy!
It seems that this name was written down not to accept monster attacks, but to receive some big prize!
067 I couldn’t lower my mouth and my skin felt a little stiff from smiling.
Xing Nuo stretched out his hand and just touched the corner of Lu Qi's mouth from a short distance.
Lu Qi felt that Xingnuo's hands were very soft. Unlike his cold skin, they had a unique human warmth.
Like a soft cotton ball, it touched the corner of Lu Qi's mouth, making Lu Qi stunned. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. But he didn't want to let go, so he just kept it frozen.
Xingnuo laughed out loud and took his hand back. His heart was inexplicably brushed by a small brush, soft, itchy, and gentle.
Lu Qi felt a little embarrassed by the laughter. As a system, he could only experience too many emotions that day.
The next second, Lu Qi actually turned into a large data stream and hid in Xingnuo's mind.
Xingnuo couldn't help laughing a little louder this time, and asked in his mind:
"Lu Qi, are you shy?"
Lu Qi didn't answer. He shrank into a tiny ball of blue light, flashing away, not daring to face Xing Nuo.
Seeing this, Xingnuo did not make things difficult for Lu Qi, but looked up at the situation of other groups.
The young couple had already started fighting, and the group of teammates also had a very tense situation. After answering the questions, the two of them left in two different directions without looking back.
Xingnuo felt that this might be the purpose of this copy.
He walked down and said to Lu Qi:
"Hurry up and steal some energy! Then go home!"
Lu Qi naturally agreed, diligently stole most of the energy, and then brought Xingnuo back to reality.
