Chapter 11.
As the voice fell, three little boys appeared in front of them. All of them had pale faces, their mouths stretched to their ears, and their dark eyes rolled around restlessly.
Seeing the three little boys suddenly appear, Ning Xuanqing and the other two broke out in sweat.
Wasn't it said that the F-level dungeon was very simple? Why were there so many tricks?
The three people who were stared at by the little boys dared not move. The tallest boy standing in the front looked at the three people with a smile.
The boy said in a hoarse voice: "You actually skipped school, are you bad students?!"
"No, no, we are, we are..." Li Jia stuttered and was about to deny.
Ning Xuanqing suddenly said, "You guys also skipped school."
A skinny little boy behind the tall boy screamed, "We are from the student union, and we specialize in catching bad students who skip school!"
Ning Xuanqing did not give in: "That is the discipline committee's business, you are lying!"
"How do you know?!"
"I've seen the school rules and regulations!" Ning Xuanqing pursed her lips and smiled.
As soon as these words were spoken, the three boys fell into a strange silence. A hint of malice flashed quickly in their eyes as they stared at Ning Xuanqing.
Suddenly, the tall boy turned around and slapped the skinny boy, "You're useless!"
The thin little boy was blown away by the huge force and hit the corner of the flower bed with a heavy muffled sound, but the little boy stood up quickly without any injury.
The tall boy who had just beaten someone up changed his face and said to the three people with a smile: "Since you are all bad boys, we are partners. Now, let's play games together!"
The two boys following behind it also smiled and repeated: "Let's play games together!"
Hearing this, Ning Xuanqing and the other two couldn't help but look at each other, with confusion in their eyes.
Previously, they always thought that the little boy in the classroom on the fourth floor was the partner they were looking for, but now it seems that the three things in front of them are the ones they need to play games with.
Just judging from the strong malice emanating from these three boys, this so-called game is not fun at all.
In this case, what role does the little boy on the fourth floor play?
Ning Xuanqing narrowed his fox eyes and suddenly asked, "Did you steal the meal ticket of the student in Class 8 on the fourth floor?"
When the three boys heard Ning Xuanqing mention that student, they were stunned for a moment, and then showed disdain on their faces.
The tall boy snorted coldly and said, "That little beggar doesn't even know what he looks like, and he still wants to be our friend. Does he deserve it?"
The two followers behind him echoed: "That's right!"
"Hey, I was the one who got the meal ticket. He still wants to eat. Maybe he should just eat poop!" The tall boy said as he suddenly sniffed. "What is that? It smells so good!"
Then they saw the bowl of fried rice next to Tang Yu.
After such a long delay, the bowl of fried rice had become a little cold, but it still did not affect its color.
The evenly-grained rice is wrapped in golden egg liquid, exuding a glossy luster, and it looks delicious no matter how you look at it.
"You actually hid here and secretly ate delicious food!" The tall boy quickly snatched the fried rice, a hint of pride appearing on his pale face.
"Hey! This is not for you!" Li Jia couldn't help but speak out to stop him. She had never seen such an impolite Gui.
"If we take it, it's ours!" the two little followers shouted shrilly.
The tall boy rolled his eyes and grinned, "I've already told you that we are partners. Since we are partners, of course you should give us the delicious food!"
"What kind of nonsense is this..." Li Jia was so angry that she couldn't help but want to argue with them, but was stopped by Ning Xuanqing.
She shook her head at Li Jia, "The situation is stronger than people, why are you arguing with them?"
Li Jia regained her senses, looked at the three boys gathering around to share the fried rice, rolled her eyes and said, "Eat until you die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three little boys who were eating happily suddenly fell to the ground. Without even a scream, they disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.
Three people: “???”
"This! This! Is he dead?" Li Jia was shocked and looked at what was happening in front of her. She turned to look at her teammates and asked blankly, "Does my skill have this effect?"
The other two were obviously not much better than her, and all seemed a little confused.
At the same time, a string of information flooded into the minds of the three people at the same time:
'The F-level multiplayer dungeon has been cleared by a good partner, and each participant will be awarded 100 points.'
'The good partner of the F-level multiplayer instance has been eliminated. Each participant will receive an additional 50 points and an F-level item: paper airplane.'
The three of them felt a little dazed until they returned to the middle area filled with black and white.
What on earth happened that caused this copy to be destroyed directly?
Li Jia and Ning Xuanqing looked at Tang Yu at the same time, who was full of confusion. Tang Yu scratched his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Jia stepped forward and grabbed Tang Yu's hand: "I admit that I am suspected of lying in this copy, but Boss, can you please not hide it so deeply? This makes me look stupid!"
"Ah?" Tang Yu's head was full of question marks. She looked at Li Jia with her light grey eyes wide open, looking very innocent.
"I understand, I understand. This kind of killer method cannot be spoken out easily!" Li Jia seemed to understand it immediately, and stretched out his index finger to his lips to make a gesture of silence.
"I, I really don't know..." Tang Yu couldn't bear Li Jia's sparkling eyes. She tilted her head and looked at Ning Xuanqing and explained with a hint of help.
Ning Xuanqing rolled her eyes and pulled Li Jia away. She analyzed thoughtfully: "We can speculate that we only did two things in the copy. First."
She stretched out her index finger and waved the slender and clean fingertip in front of the two of them.
"We found the little boy hiding in the teaching building. Second, we went to the cafeteria and made a bowl of fried rice."
She paused for a moment and continued, "It's obvious that the three bad boys had been bullying the little boy, and after they ate the bowl of fried rice, they died. Then we received the message that the copy had been destroyed."
"So, think about it the other way around. Those three bad guys are the bosses of this dungeon. If we follow the normal process, we need to complete the dangerous game with them. But the fact is that we ended this dungeon due to an accident."
Li Jia was a little unconvinced and said, "You mean, the accident was that bowl of egg fried rice? That's a bit far-fetched, Xuanqing."
Ning Xuanqing pushed the frame of her glasses, also feeling puzzled by the result. She looked at Tang Yu and suddenly asked, "Have you tried that bowl of fried rice?"
Tang Yu shook his head.
Seeing her reaction, Ning Xuanqing's green eyes gradually became interested, and she asked again: "Have you never eaten your own cooking?"
Tang Yu still shook her head, and she explained seriously: "Sometimes I make some ugly food, which others don't want to eat, so I eat it myself to avoid wasting it."
"Oh." Ning Xuanqing said "Oh" meaningfully, as if he had thought of something.
Tang Yu was still confused, but Li Jia, who had been working with Ning Xuanqing for a long time, had already figured out something fishy from her reaction.
Li Jia swallowed, pointed at Tang Yu and asked, "You mean the boss knocked those three guys down with a bowl of egg fried rice?"
Ning Xuanqing shrugged and gave a very cautious answer: "Very likely."
Tang Yu: “???”
Upon hearing this, Li Jia once again looked at Tang Yu with a mixture of shock and admiration, and said with emotion: "I was wondering why there would be such a useless skill in the middle realm. It turns out that this is the legendary 'cooking' skill, and it's so terrifying!"
Tang Yu: “…”
Really, how can you say such rude words!
Tang Yu was sad to find that she was unable to refute Ning Xuanqing's point of view. She began to miss those lovely neighbors in Shiqing Street.
Oh, and there’s the “husband” in the C-level copy who was willing to give her suggestions on cooking. I don’t know if he’s doing well now. I really want to cook for him again!
......
The entire middle area is like a huge black and white city, but it is different.
Except for the empty square in the center, the surrounding buildings are all neatly arranged. Apart from these identical buildings, there are no other facilities.
The survivors living in the middle area all live in these buildings.
At this time, in an ordinary standard house, Tang Yu squatted silently in the corner, feeling very sad, while Ning Xuanqing and Li Jia were studying the newly acquired copy props.
'F-level prop paper airplane: attracts strange attention for a short period of time.'
A beautifully folded paper airplane was placed on the table, and a string of information descriptions popped up in their minds at the same time.
At the end, there is another sentence: 'Thanks from Ding Xin! '
Li Jia pondered for a while, "Could Ding Xin be the unlucky guy who has no food to eat?"
Ning Xuanqing nodded: "It's possible."
Tang Yu, who had been depressed for a while, also came over curiously to watch the fun. When Li Jia saw her coming, she directly handed her the paper plane.
"Here, you contributed the most in this dungeon, so the item should be given to you."
Seeing that Ning Xuanqing showed no sign of objection, Tang Yu reached out to take it and put it in his backpack. They would be going through dungeons together in the future anyway, so it didn't matter who had the item.
She blinked her eyes, looked at Li Jia and then at Ning Xuanqing, and asked expectantly, "Do you want to eat something?"
Li Jia naturally understood Tang Yu's subtext. She thought of the bowl of sad and heartbreaking rice and immediately shook her head vigorously.
Ning Xuanqing stood up from the sofa and said, "We can go to the exchange to exchange food."
Tang Yu asked in confusion: "Where is the exchange?"
Up to now, the only buildings she had seen, apart from the square, were the endless residential buildings.
When Ning Xuanqing and the other person led Tang Yu into the house, she felt strange. How on earth could they find their room accurately among the numerous buildings like a honeycomb?
Li Jia pulled Tang Yu up from the ground and smiled at her with two fangs showing: "Today I will show you what it means when God says, let there be light!"
Then, Tang Yu watched her walk to the door and shouted with her eyes closed: "I want to go to the exchange!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she opened the door with a snap. Outside the door was a gray and chaotic scene, as if it was connected to another dimension.
"This! This!" Tang Yu stared at the gray chaotic mist and was speechless.
"You're just pretending!" Ning Xuanqing looked at Li Jia helplessly, then explained to Tang Yu the special features of the middle area.
At first, when the survivors were dropped into the middle area, they were faced with a vast gray space with nothing in it except the electronic screen in the center.
Later, when some people were wondering how to survive in this place, tall buildings suddenly appeared on the ground, and structures that could accommodate all the survivors appeared.
Some people wondered how to solve their needs for food and clothing, so a market for trading emerged out of nowhere.
Tang Yu was stunned: "Isn't this just like the promised land, where you can get whatever you want?"
Li Jia shook his head: "It's not like we have everything we want. For example, after leaving the real world, we were not used to the lack of communication equipment. However, no matter how hard we tried, the middle realm still had no mobile phones. After everyone's constant testing, the middle realm has become what it is today. If there is any difference from the real world, it is that it is more idealistic, such as this."
She pointed to the door that seemed to lead to anywhere.
This reminded Tang Yue that when they just left the square, Li Jia shouted that she wanted to go home, opened the door of a residential building, and the three of them went into the house.
It seems that the intermediate area can be connected and controlled through consciousness to some extent!
Ning Xuanqing also said: "The middle area seems to follow some strange rules. While the survivors are protected by it, they must also accept the test of strange copies. I vaguely feel that this place seems to want to cultivate a group of particularly powerful people."
Tang became more interested and asked, "Does that mean there is a manipulator behind this so-called middle realm?"
Ning Xuanqing was startled when he heard this, "I'm not sure about that. So far we haven't contacted any managers in the middle field."
The conversation ended as the three of them walked out of the room.
Tang Yu only felt that the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and a wide open space appeared in front of him, but it was not the square with the electronic screen.
The open space was bustling with people coming and going. The ground was divided into chessboard-like spaces by aisles, and many people sat in the spaces to set up stalls and sell their wares.
She couldn't help but look back at the door the three people came in through, and she saw a gray object behind her that could roughly be called a door.
The door was blurry and completely different from the one they had entered through.
"Where do we go from here?" Tang Yu reached out his hand curiously and found that his hand passed through the gray mass easily.
Li Jia looked back and said, "It depends on where you want to go. The doors here are basically controlled by consciousness. If you want to go to the central square, you can get there by passing through it."
"That's really..." Tang Yu exclaimed: "It's magical!"
