Chapter 5.
The sound dissipated for a long time, and after a brief silence, the humans active in the middle area suddenly burst into a huge noise.
Some people were asking around to find out who had destroyed the copy, some were repeating the news of the copy being destroyed to their companions, and some were frowning and thinking about something.
Everyone could not hide the shock on their faces, including Li Jia and Ning Xuanqing.
Among the group of shocked and confused survivors, only the two of them knew the truth of the matter.
The two of them looked at Tang Yu at the same time, with incredible light flashing in their eyes.
Li Jia swallowed and grabbed Tang Yu's sleeve. She struggled to organize her words: "Boss, what did you do to that boss?"
"I...I don't know." Tang Yu scratched his head and asked blankly: "What does it mean to destroy the copy? Is that a game?"
"If it's a game, it's a life-and-death game." Ning Xuanqing introduced the situation here to Tang Yu with a wry smile.
Half a month ago, the surviving humans left their homes and entered the middle realm, after which someone discovered the huge electronic screen in this central square.
There are strange copies lined up one after another on the screen. If the survivors want to survive in the middle area, they need to earn points through copies and use the points to redeem the necessities of life.
Each copy can be completed multiple times. After completing it each time, the copy will automatically generate a puzzle. When a certain number of puzzles are accumulated, the copy will disappear.
According to the report from the middle area just now, the elimination of copies is related to the human purification rate. As long as more copies are eliminated, humans may be able to take back their homes one day!
Li Jia was puzzled and asked, "But there is no other puzzle in the mutton soup restaurant except the one we just cleared. How did it disappear?"
Ning Xuanqing looked at Tang Yu and thought, "So I think maybe it's because she solved the boss, causing the copy to lose its basis for existence, so the copy disappeared directly."
"Is this possible?!" Li Jia was shocked, and then became excited: "Oh, by the way, breaking the first record of the dungeon! Will there be any special rewards?"
After she mentioned this, Ning Xuanqing quickly closed his eyes and sank into consciousness. After a while, he opened his eyes and shrugged, saying, "Only 300 points, which is 50% more than the normal clearance."
Li Jia grinned: "We were just paddling the whole time, it's great to get some points, life is still good!"
Tang Yu was confused as she watched the two chatting. Then she saw Ning Xuanqing turn around and look at her: "By the way, what reward did you get?"
Logically speaking, as the person who defeated the boss, Tang Yu should get something like hidden props, right?
Tang Yu scratched his head and told the two what happened in the mutton soup restaurant.
Although what happened today was completely beyond her understanding, it did not prevent her from accepting it calmly.
Maybe life is just so bizarre.
Why bother thinking about things you can’t figure out?
When Ning Xuanqing heard Tang Yu talking about the diary, his green eyes lit up a little, "There is a skill book! So what is your awakening skill?"
Li Jia pulled her sleeve, then stood up and explained with a smile: "She is not asking about your privacy casually. To be fair, we can tell you our skills first."
Li Jia is now 100% sure that Tang Yu is a master. In order to survive, she must hold on to this thigh tightly, so any behavior that may cause the boss's disgust must be avoided.
Ning Xuanqing seemed to realize this, so he restrained his expression and said seriously: "My skill is the sixth sense, but compared to this illusory intuition, I trust my own judgment more."
"Don't underestimate her. Although her skills are not that great, she has a very good brain. Many times we were able to pass the level thanks to her intelligence!"
As if afraid of being disliked by the big boss in front of him, Li Jia quickly stood up to endorse Ning Xuanqing.
She smiled with two canine teeth showing, and pointed at herself: "I'm different. My skill is luck. I have good luck in everything I do. How about it, do you want to team up with us?"
Tang Yu was dazzled by Li Jia's smile, thought about it for a while and nodded, then said shyly: "But my skills are very ordinary, it seems that they can't play a big role in clearing the dungeon."
"How could I dislike you? The three of us are brought together by chance. As long as we form a team, we will have no problem clearing the dungeon in the future!" Li Jia completely regarded her words as modesty.
Are you kidding? How can an ordinary person live alone with those monsters for such a long time and get rid of the boss without anyone noticing?
Tang Yu was also very happy to make friends. The book said that making friends is an indispensable part of a normal person's social life.
She confessed to the two of them: "My skill is cooking, so just tell me what you want to eat in the future!"
She told a small, harmless lie. After all, it was embarrassing to talk about the shame of cooking.
Upon hearing this, Li Jia laughed and said, "That's such a pity. We didn't even have time to drink the soup you cooked for us at the mutton soup restaurant. We thought you were weird at that time."
"There will be opportunities later."
The three people who had just formed an alliance were talking and laughing.
In the mutton soup restaurant on Shiqing Street, the pot of mutton soup forgotten on the dirty table was still steaming.
The steaming heat became thicker and thicker, gradually twisting into a string of words.
'High-level item identified, about to be recycled!'
'The prop is detected as a level A prop.'
'Item Description: Weird Mutton Soup - I repay the world with malice, and I hope the world will treat me well!'
After experiencing a strange crisis that befell the world, the surviving humans began to awaken a variety of skills.
In the middle area, the skills that are recognized as the most useful are of the powerful type, which greatly enhances one's physical strength, speed, attack power, etc. This skill can ensure the survival rate of survivors in the copy.
There are also some rare skills, such as mental control or attack skills, which are also very popular types.
The least popular ones are those with slacking skills that cannot play a significant role in the dungeon, such as those of Li Jia and Ning Xuanqing.
This skill is neither strong enough to completely resist weirdness, nor can it play a big role in teamwork, so few people are willing to team up with it.
There was no choice but for the two people who shared the same pain to team up.
Fortunately, the two-person team now has another member, so we will be more confident in passing dungeons in the future!
In the middle area, apart from having a place to live, all food and daily necessities require points to be exchanged. If you want to survive, you can only keep passing dungeons.
After Tang Yu and Li Jia briefly understood the rules of the middle area, they went to the square with them to find a suitable copy.
The copies in the middle area are divided into multiplayer copies and single-player copies. The lowest level of difficulty is the F-level copy, and the highest level of difficulty known is the A-level copy.
Among copies of the same level, multiplayer copies are more difficult than single-player copies. Even so, survivors still prefer multiplayer copies.
After all, the state of mind is completely different when facing the weirdness alone and with a group of people. At least it can give you courage.
Standing in front of the electronic screen, the three of them looked down and those above level D were not even considered.
According to information shared by some big guys who have passed through high-level copies, if you want to survive in copies above level D, you need props.
The three of them are penniless now, and the few points in their pockets are not enough to exchange for props, so they should not aim too high.
Tang Yu also followed suit and carefully examined the copies in front of the electronic screen. Her eyes swept across rows of copies with different names, and finally stopped at a certain point.
'Copy: Husband's Lies.'
'Tags: marriage, family, cooking.'
'Synopsis: A wife is living a huge lie told by her husband.'
'Dungeon mission: fulfill your husband's wishes.'
As soon as Tang Yu saw the word "cooking", her eyes couldn't move away. In an instant, she felt that this copy was very much to her liking!
"Hey, look at this." Tang Yu raised his head and shouted to the two people next to him.
Li Jia subconsciously turned her head to look, and saw Tang Yu's finger poking the label marked with C-level single-player copy, and her eyes bulged out immediately.
"Ah, don't!"
Before they could finish their next words, Tang Yu disappeared in front of them.
Li Jia and Ning Xuanqing: "!!!"
Husband's Lies is a C-level single-player copy. All survivors who enter the copy, regardless of gender, will play the role of the husband's wife and work day and night to become a good wife.
But no matter what the wife does, all she gets is suppression and denial from her husband. In other words, she continues to be mentally eroded.
If there are no spiritual props to maintain the san value, the survivor who plays the role of the wife will gradually go crazy and collapse until she loses herself and becomes a member of the strange world.
After Tang Yu entered the copy, he found himself in an apartment. Judging from the decoration, the owner of the house had a good financial condition.
At this time, she was standing in the living room, wearing an apron and holding a broom in her hand, apparently preparing to clean.
"My dear wife, it's already 7:30 in the morning. If you haven't prepared breakfast yet, I'll be late for work. It's not good for you to have no sense of time at all."
A very gentle and pleasant voice came from behind, so pleasant that one could completely ignore the complaints and contempt implied in it.
It was like a gentle husband whispering affectionately to his beloved wife.
Tang Yu turned around suddenly and saw a tall man standing at the bedroom door. His white silk shirt was not buttoned, and the two unbuttoned buttons revealed the distinct texture under the shirt.
The man's exposed skin appeared sickly pale, and even five steps away from him, one could still feel the cold aura emanating from him.
Tang Yu paused with the broom on the man's face and asked in confusion, "Why are you wearing sunglasses in the house?"
The man's hair was a little messy, and he wore a pair of black sunglasses on his nose, so his eyes could not be seen clearly behind the lenses.
"That's not the question you should be asking. You just need to do the job you can do, right?"
The man still used that superior voice and said without question: "But before that, I need to eat breakfast!"
When Tang Yu heard the word breakfast, he immediately threw away the broom in his hand and said happily, "Wait a moment, I'll make it right away!"
"......"
The man looked at Tang Yu who walked straight into the kitchen. Her movements were cheerful and even a little agile, without any of the dullness that could affect her.
The man standing in the living room had a ferocious look on his face for a moment, and the aura around him surged for a moment before being quickly brought under control.
It looked at the figure busy and happy in the kitchen, and its pale thin lips split into a dangerous smile.
"Haha, you can resist this level of pollution? I want to see how long you can hold on!"
