After the train stopped, Qi Yuan carried his original travel backpack and prepared to find a nearby hotel to stay in.

In order to find his wallet, he turned the contents of his backpack inside out again. I really found a lot of details that I hadn't noticed before. Take, for example, the bizarre piece of plasticine.

Qi Yuan stretched out his hand and continued to dig in the pile of debris, and it took a long time to completely separate it.

To be precise, it's a semi-shaped piece of green clay. The viscosity is not high, the starting point is slightly cool, and it seems to have elasticity and swaying with the wind after kneading a few more times.

"Tut-tut, it's a pity that the little girl in the system left, otherwise I would have been able to ask properly. Forget it, let's take a taxi first. ”

The passenger flow on this street seemed to be very small, and it took more than half an hour for Qi Yuan to get a taxi.

The dark window of the blue taxi was rolled down, and he was a very stylish young man, with a crystal blue stud on one ear. "Yo, handsome guy, I'm working so late overtime. ”

Qi Yuan nodded a little coldly: "Dude, do you want to go to No. 46 Shuiwen Street, Yuanxing District? ”

"Neurotic!" Inexplicably, the young man turned his head and spat on him: "Master, I'm very busy, if you don't take the car, you will get out!"

"Why are you scolding me?" Qi Yuan frowned, and then wanted to say again: I seem to owe a lot of money. But he was scolded for no reason, and he was also angry in his heart, so he took out a hundred yuan and slapped it in the car-

"I don't care, I'm going to take the car to that street today!" The young man in the car saw that the look on Qian's face was even more strange, and he was silent for a long time but took the money: "You really want to sit?"

"Don't talk nonsense! What you have is money!" Qi Yuan slapped another hundred into the car. At the end of his self-consciously domineering spirit, he added: "Don't look for it, you can take me quickly!"

Then with a "click", the young man locked the car, and Qi Yuan sat in. Before the butt was hot, I saw the car turn around and stop in front of a supermarket.

"What's wrong with the car?"

"It's here. ”

There was another "click", the lock of the car opened, and Qi Yuan was also dried and petrified.

He was still impressed by his domineering spirit, and the result was a king to be slaughtered! Qi Yuan was so simple, he didn't know how he got out of the car, because his whole person was swiped by the army of grass and mud horses.

However, after Qi Yuan calmed down, he would take a closer look. Only then did I realize that this place listed as "Tianyuan Supermarket" is really a hotel that occupies a large area.

After completing the rental procedures, Qi Yuan took the elevator upstairs.

"Crunch. ”

The heavy door panel was pushed open by Qi Yuan. It was dark in the room, but common sense was that the wall lamps were turned on and off around the door.

By the faint light outside, he saw the plush carpet in front of the door. It seemed to be very expensive, so Qi Yuan politely took off his shoes and squeezed into the door, and began to fumble for the switch.

His feet were not as soft as he had imagined, and there seemed to be something prick the soles of his feet.

Finally, the lights illuminate the room. It's a small one-bedroom apartment, but it's extra warm and comfortable.

There is a soft wool blanket on the floor, and a sofa bed is placed in the corner, which is spread out and has a warm feeling. It must feel comfortable to lie down. Then where it should have been a bedside table, a folded plastic bookshelf filled with all sorts of books and notebooks.

On the other side near the door is a set of desks and chairs, on which a computer and various leaflets and materials related to Jingcheng are placed. On the far left is a refrigerator, and on top is a hanging air conditioner.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.

As Qi Yuan walked, the things under his feet also poked the soles of his feet from time to time. He leaned over to inspect it with some curiosity, but it was the sunflower seeds that had been knocked down on the tea machine not far away.

It seems to be a new flavor of melon seeds, and there is a little light fragrance, and there are a lot of leftovers in the bag, and the grains are full. Qi Yuan suddenly felt a little hungry.

Late at night, the man fell asleep on the soft bed. The movement that no one knows is moving fast......

[Beep - The system is loaded.] Welcome player Qi Yuan. 】

There seemed to be some mechanical sound abruptly sounding in mid-air.

"Ah!! it. ”

As soon as it was dawn, a hearty roar resounded throughout the inn.

Qi Yuan stood in front of the mirror with a confused expression. The man in front of him had messy hair, a foam-stained toothbrush in his mouth, and his clothes were a little crooked, and his shoulders were half exposed.

Well, this is a very everyday scene where a certain person is half-dreamed and half-awake by the biological clock, and then drags his slippers to the bathroom to wash.

But why did he have a chrysanthemum on his head, bastard! He just slept a little, what major plot did he miss, hey! Then Qi Yuan remembered the lies that adults in his hometown used to deceive children in the past, like this......

"Mom, Mom, wow, I accidentally swallowed a watermelon seed just now......" "Hey?~Puff hahaha, we can pick watermelon on your head at this time next year and eat it~"

retarded.

Turning off the small theater in his brain, Qi Yuan stroked his forehead and forcibly calmed down. "No, no, no, it won't be so coincidental, I didn't eat anything yesterday~ I just swallowed a few melon seeds and accidentally got stuck in a shell and went down......"

"Hahaha...... !" Qi Yuan slammed into the mirror and carefully looked at the little flower above his head...... "It's really a sunflower!"

The gloomy expression on the face of a certain second goods was finally quiet, and his silence seemed to become an opportunity to connect to a signal, and it was immediately brushed by the strange mechanical sound that appeared out of thin air.

[Beep-]

【Welcome Player Qi Yuan】

[Beep - Sunflower Successfully Loaded]

【System Upgrade——】

[The system has been upgraded successfully, players are welcome to use it]

【Function lock starting——】

[The function is successfully locked, please use it after unblocking it——]

[System Shutdown——]

Qi Yuan was a little dazed by the gift from heaven: "Hey, wait, what system are you?"

[Players are familiar with the Plants vs. Zombies system.] 】

[Beep - The system was shut down successfully.] 】

"Why not the online game system, but Plants vs. Zombies, 2333

In this article, even ordinary people have white Burmese flowers that can evolve with aliens, and I only have a flower on my head that has a fart?"

And according to the routine of the previous system 173 reminder, behind this power is tsk. Ask for some practical good felling!

So this system can only be a chicken rib that is tasteless and abandoned?

"Don't, beg to open the golden finger, it's a person who has crossed over! The protagonist is not extravagant, at least don't let me be cannon fodder!"

Qi Yuan had a mouthful of old blood stuffed in his heart, and he couldn't spit it out, and he crashed again.

Sure enough, it is still sorted out one by one......

First, the little chrysanthemum on his head is actually a sunflower, the one that can produce sunlight in the mobile game Plants vs. Zombies. And the reason why I got this is because of the melon seeds that I wanted to eat last night.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes a little dangerously, so he was actually unconsciously bound by something. What do you have to plan for the future?

Hey, is this system-like thing an old mother?

Second, the system seems to only connect to his signals when he's calm or calculating? That system upgrade is understandable.

Because the words of Plants vs. Zombies are in the form of two dimensions, in the three dimensions, peas are peas, and sunflowers are melon seeds. Almost all plants are just food, and if you want to be a combat power, you have to break through this form.

But as for what to upgrade and where to break through, it was not up to him to think about it.

Also, what is that function lock? Don't let him use it? What is the system for him?

Well...... Is it for him to use it after the crisis has erupted?

Thirdly, he is not the main character. At most, he can only be regarded as a passerby, and in this world, he is at most a cannon fodder, and he is still the kind who can receive a bento at any time.

Why did he get a system that didn't fit the system of this world? He didn't believe in luck or fate, no one would pay for a cannon fodder, and there would be no free lunch in the world.

This system ...... Do I want or don't?

If he wants, he will have to take responsibility for his own choices, and if one day the system and what is behind him will ask him to give something, he will have to give.

Don't? You'll have to be scared for the rest of your life. Naturally, he has thought about a lot of back roads, but he is cannon fodder and has no special abilities. The genetically mutated monster wants to eat him, and the strong want to step on him.

Whether dignity can be kept is a problem, and more importantly, whether life can be preserved.

"Tsk, in this cannibalistic world, even survival without some strength has become a luxury. ”

The choice was set, but he still had to confirm it first. Qi Yuan evoked a self-deprecating smile and reached out to pick flowers in the mirror.

Tsk, the flower was like it had grown out of his head, and it was creepy. He tugged at the flowers hard, and his heart ached. He didn't want to think about whether others would die if the flowers were gone.

[Warning!Warning!Please treat your flowers well!]

Oh, look, his temptation succeeded.

Qi Yuan unfolded a relieved smile, and he obediently let go of the flower. From this temptation, he probably figured out a few things.

First of all, no matter what he chooses, the system will be there. This is not a golden finger, maybe it is just the monitoring and protection of this foreign object by this world, and it is also a talisman when necessary.

And the so-called shutdown of the system is probably just a gimmick. There he watched the play, watching you, a mortal, struggle to the death, wallowing in the pan, and then appear after the play with a hypocritical offering.

"Ah, what a headache. Qi Yuan picked up the toothbrush again and began to brush his teeth. They can come if they want, and they're all using each other anyway.

In the months that followed, Qi Yuan quickly mastered the rhythm and began to get busy. The flower on the head also disappeared the day after the system shut down. But he knew that the system was always there, and it was just a trick to the eyes.

There is not much time left before the complete lockdown of Jingcheng and the official start of the scavenger hunt. As far as the news he has recently inquired about, there are three key points.

First, this scavenger hunt is a reference to the original two games, "Rosemary City" and "Who is the murderer?".

Rosemary City is built on the foundation of a giant maze pavilion, relying on the "answer questions, get the key, get the clues, talk to someone on the note, find the next person to provide clues covertly" This multi-line cycle mode attracts the player's attention and has fun.

And who the murderer is is somewhat similar to the real-life version of Detective Conan. The only difference is that in this game world, there will never be a real Conan.

Everyone plays multiple roles, maybe today in this place to become Conan Shenwei, tomorrow may become someone else's sugar-coated Kogoro.

What's even more terrifying is that when you become a murderer and calculate others, maybe the cannon fodder you think is Conan or a perverted murderer in the eyes of others.

And this scavenger hunt has added two new rules on top of these two - role-playing and zombie apocalypse. The rules of role-playing are very simple, and it is a sentence - the OOC of the character image is judged to be the death of the game character.

As for whether the person himself can wake up in real life after the death of the character in the game. In other words, is it not him who woke up in real life......

No one knows.

The random identity cards for the role-playing have been distributed to the contestants half a month ago. When the time comes, Jingcheng will be locked down to the outside world, and then in the middle of the night, after all the players who have taken the nutrient solution are asleep, they will cast holograms on the whole city.

Not only does the player's ID card tell them what role they should play when they enter the game, but more importantly, each card has a nanometer space inside to protect the player's sleeping body.

Of course, that's what the company that does the promotion of the game says. As for how much is true and how much is false, it is the benevolent and the wise see the wise.

Judging from the previous "Catching Turtles in the Urn of God" from the mouths of those three people, this time the game is definitely not so simple.

As for the zombie apocalypse on the game's flyer...... As of now, there is no definite information coming out.

Qi Yuan, on the other hand, followed the few locals who began to stock up on goods. Anyway, the money in the bank card is not his~

After finding enough information, Qi Yuan moved out of the hotel with a large number of people and rented a small convenience store on the first floor.

The convenience store was originally a dilapidated used bookstore, but later Jingcheng was renovated into a large amusement park by the public, and the owner of the bookstore dedicated the books to the provincial library and moved away overnight.

Qi Yuan also came by chance, and when he saw the old man coming back to deal with the title deed, he simply rented it for a year.

On the eve of the game's launch, Qi Yuan finally stopped his crazy stockpiling. On the same day, he asked someone from a nearby hardware store to build a few unopened iron swords for him.

He didn't have the heart to eat anything in the evening, so he put his things into the warehouse early and locked the door that he had specially reinforced most of the month ago.

After everything was done, Qi Yuan fished out a bottle of cold beer from the refrigerator and sat in the lobby of the convenience store to watch the scavenger hunt server opening ceremony. The same noisy program as in previous years, dazzling colors, and extraordinary festivity.

The sound of firecrackers outside the convenience store, the laughter of passers-by, the sound of vehicles passing through...... If I hadn't known that tonight was destined to be extraordinary, I was afraid that even he would have been in this joyful atmosphere.

Qi Yuan looked down at the electronic bracelet that he had bought in the past two days, which had almost emptied most of the original owner's life savings - the correct time at this moment was half past three in the morning.

And the time in the corner of the old-fashioned TV show in the convenience store is - 7:37 p.m.

To all the locals who are still immersed in the beautiful daily life, the official start of the game is announced by the sudden sound of air raid sirens outside.

"Ahh The man who was performing a magic trick to escape from the iron box died in the iron box. The host screamed and surrounded him, but was torn apart by the people in the box along with the security guards around him who rescued people.

Then came the urgent news break. Qi Yuan turned off the TV unconsciously. The screams outside the shops were also hidden in the roaring salute.

Tonight, the music of the undead begins to play, and the humans outside the box cannot escape.

No one can sleep soundly under the screams of their compatriots and the threat of divine descent, and Qi Yuan is no exception. He sat on the ground somewhat decadently, surrounded by a large circle of empty beer bottles.

Last night, I lost count of how many people came to him for help. They knocked on the door in panic, and the warm light in the room was the only hope for others. But Qi Yuan cruelly refused.

He turned off the lights and pulled off the last straw that saved people's lives.

Hey, he's cannon fodder. And there are no powers. Why did you come to him for help?

It's the early days, and he can still save people. What about the rest of the world: the problem of food distribution, the problem of the strong being respected, and the problem of separating people's hearts from their stomachs......

He knew that he was guilty, and he didn't want to be stabbed in the back. Anyway, one of the protagonists is the gods, so people who don't have abilities will have a good home in the future......

Qi Yuan smashed the wine bottle in his hand and threw it out, piercing through the eyes of a zombie. Fishy blood splashed on the face of a delicate little girl.

He smiled apologetically at her, opened the window and rushed out, two long swords in his hands.

He knew he was running away, he didn't believe in people's hearts. But if he denies the world without doing anything, then what's the point of his life?

He has had a hot-blooded heroic heart since he was a child, because it is delusional, it will never exist. He hid his dream in the story, and this is his story!

What if he's not the main character? He's always been that person. It's true to be weak, but it's not allowed to back down.

The girl with a bloody face looked shocked, looking at the man, her clothes fluttering, like a god. Her eyes were full of hope, and she had never been more sure that she would live.

Qi Yuan smiled at her and handed her the sword: "Take it, cut off their heads, and rush out together!"
