"Hey! How do you say sleep when you sleep? I don't have a penny now, so I'll give it all to your old man. Even if you give me this system, I can't afford it. Besides, the dollar settlement, I don't have a dollar either. Hou Longtao said to the little girl who occupied his bed.

There was already a slight snoring sound, and the little girl who seemed to have fallen asleep raised her arm like a corpse, "Smack!" She snapped her fingers, and the system items that appeared in Hou Longtao's field of vision, and a torch fell out with a "bang".

The round physical torch was rolling round on the ground, Hou Longtao turned off the system interface, picked up the torch that fell on the ground, and the attributes of the torch floated in front of his eyes.

"Torch "Don't Starve": Expel darkness and preserve reason. (Fire, the source of civilization; Fire, a place of refuge. ）”

Hou Longtao held this handle with almost no practical value, it could only be regarded as a torch for handicrafts, and the corners of his eyes kept pumping.

Because, he saw that in the lower right corner of the physical torch, there was a counter, $1.99......$2.00...... $2.01......$2.02......

"Hey! You give me the cheapest thing, forget it, how can you still pay it, you are a loan shark? I can't afford to pay it like that! ”

Hou Longtao shouted at the little girl sleeping soundly on the bed.

"Smack!" Another snap of the fingers.

A dialog box popped up in Hou Longtao's field of vision, "Borrowing rules: The system user has a certain credit limit, and if the loan exceeds the credit limit, he will be punished......

Randomly selected penalties are ......

Wood has ***.

If the loan exceeds the credit limit, the borrower will be charged a small hook as a repayment ......"

Hou Longtao glanced at his credit limit, "$19.99".

Looking at the numbers that keep jumping up, "$2.06......$2.07......$2.08......"

In other words, I only have less than 1,800 seconds, and if I exceed it, I will have to say goodbye to my chickens?!

No!

No!

It's the instinct to be a man! The dignity of being a man drove Hou Longtao, who had a certain social disorder, and for the first time he took out his mobile phone without hesitation to dial the phone number, "Hey? Rhubarb, can you lend me five dollars? …… What the? …… Oh...... No...... Well......"

"Hey! Lend me ...... Feed? Feed! Hou Longtao hung up the phone as soon as he choked on the other side.

This...... Who can borrow me dollars on this big night!

Wait a minute......

Support RMB settlement?

Can I pay in RMB at the exchange rate?

In this case...... I still can't borrow money!

How can you get money?

Ant borrowing? JD gold bars? I haven't opened it myself!

That's right!

Figured out a way! Idle fish!

There are so many buyers with egg pain on Xianyu, there will definitely be people who buy this "Don't Starve" custom torch!

Under the coercion that the chickens were about to disappear, Hou Longtao's execution was so explosive for the first time. What procrastination, lazy cancer, all rolled to Java!

Take a photo, mark the price, and put it on the shelf...... Coherent! He nervously put his phone on the table and kept pacing back and forth!

"Someone buy it! Buy it now! ”

"Ding Dong!"

"You have a new message......

"Can it be cheaper? How about 50 free shipping? ”

"No bargaining, no free shipping, only local face-to-face delivery, sorry!"

"Ding-dong!

You have a new message......"

……

Minutes and seconds passed.

“$5.66……

$5.67……

$5.68……”

There is not much time left for the chickens.

"Ding-dong!

You have a new message......"

"You...... Do torches really dispel darkness? ”

"Yes! I'm pretty sure! ”

"Then I want it...... Face-to-face sex, isn't it? Is it possible now? I'll be waiting for you at the gate of the division. ”

"Shoot the unpaid......

(Ask the seller if they are sure of the purchase, and if so, remind the buyer to pay as soon as possible.) ）

Payment has been made and is waiting for you to ship it.

(Earn money, show off!) ）”

Hou Longtao stared at this user with the username "Jiebai"! Grit your teeth and stomp your feet!

"Fight! I'm here! ”

Hou Longtao rushed downstairs at an unprecedented speed, scanned the code of the free Mobike downstairs with his mobile phone, and rushed out at the speed of a Ferrari.

Legs are flying! The blood vessels are boiling! Your lungs are burning!

Under the street lamp in the middle of the night, Hou Longtao turned into a rapid phantom, crossed the street, and went straight to the Normal University!

“$10.88……

$10.89……

$10.90……”

Go on! Advance! Go ahead!

Sweat ran down the bridge of the nose and hung in the air.

Hou Longtao's whole body was already soaked, and the Mobike bike was squeaked and creaked by him.

Uphill.

Even more sad, Hou Longtao found that there was an existence comparable to Haohanpo around him for the first time. He rode hard, but his speed slowed down a little. He felt that he had burned out his youth, burned out his dreams, and the small universe that had exploded was about to be exhausted.

But! Don't abandon and don't give up! For the sake of the chickens, keep going!

“$15.99……

$16.00……

$16.01……”

"Zila!" Hou Longtao flicked his tail handsomely, and the Mobike bicycle drew a semicircle on the ground and stopped at the main entrance of the Normal University.

"I've arrived! You're a man! Hou Longtao took out his mobile phone and asked in the Xianyu client.

White: "I'm under the streetlight." ”

Hou Longtao raised his head, looked around, and replied, "I saw you." ”

"Hello, I'm Hou Longtao, are you white? This is the torch I'm selling! "Don't Starve" has the same torch, and the quality is carried! No, you knock, this feel, this echo, isn't it great! If it's great, let's get it! Although Hou Longtao was in a hurry, he still tried his best to suppress his urgency and sell his torches.

Calm down!

Hurry is not a deal!

For the sake of the chickens, be calm!

The girl with a white screen name smiled slightly when she listened to Hou Longtao's introduction, she was a very beautiful girl, her black hair was draped over her shoulders like a waterfall, her skin was white and tender without flaws, and her black eyes were bright and pure, as pure as the stars.

"My name is Bai Jie, can you really dispel the darkness with this torch? If I can, I'll receive it! Bai Jie confirmed.

"Yes, of course, I'll show you now!" In order to sell the torch, Hou Longtao also fought hard, he took out a lighter and lit the torch in his hand.

"Don't!" Bai Jie, who lowered his head to confirm the receipt of the payment, looked up and saw Hou Longtao's movements, and shouted hysterically.

"How?" Hou Longtao noticed that the torch was lit. But the street lamps, the starlight, the moonlight, all the light is gone.

Except for the light around the torches, the rest of the place was rich and eerie darkness.

In the darkness, there seemed to be a pair of evil eyes peeping.

Hou Longtao, who had just been hot all over his body because of crazy cycling, was staring at his back with a pair of eyes in the dark at this moment!

"Your torches can really dispel the darkness, and I've confirmed the receipt."

“$19.90……

$19.91……

$19.92……”

Hou Longtao forced himself to forget the horror hidden in the darkness, and received the payment in the last ten seconds, saving the chickens!

But!

Who will save him from the darkness!

Fear is spreading......

The eyes in the dark are terrifying and scary.

Hou Longtao looked around with a torch, Bai Jie seemed to know something, but she wanted to say something and stopped.

The torches crackled and burned, and time passed, and little by little they ignited to ashes.

Hou Longtao looked at the darkening torches and stared at the monsters in the dark. I suddenly remembered that when I was playing "Don't Starve", before Maxwell was attacked, Maxwell would ask, "Is Charlie you?" ”

"Is Charlie you?" Hou Longtao asked tentatively, and his eyes in the dark shadow froze for a moment.

The torch went out, and a wisp of green smoke rose.

Without the protection of the light, Hou Longtao and Bai Jie fell into complete darkness.

"Ahh Bai Jie screamed, wrapping her arms around Hou Longtao's arm. The soft parts were squeezed and deformed, becoming the only warmth Hou Longtao felt in the darkness.

There is no darker time than this moment, when you can't see your fingers, and you don't have half a light source.

Suddenly, Hou Longtao felt a huge thing come to his side, he subconsciously bent down to dodge, and the sound of the wind breaking the wind swept over his head.

"Fire, the source of civilization; Fire, a place of refuge. ”

At this moment, Hou Longtao understood the meaning of the second half of this sentence. Without the protection of the fire, they are exposed to the darkness, like poor and fragile little white rabbits, who can only be ravaged by the big bad wolf in the dark.

Hou Longtao took out his mobile phone and tried to light up the screen, but there was no response.

Is there anything else that can dispel the darkness? Hou Longtao thought.

Yes!

He summoned the "STEAM discount system" in his mind, and used his credit line to exchange for a flashlight called the magic switch in "Alan Wake Killer".

"Magic Switch Wake Killer: Burn Out the Darkness. (The light is safe.) ）”

Hou Longtao grabbed the magic switch and pushed away the switch that the old-fashioned hand nodded. The light bulb in the spotlight light up, and a pillar of light erupted, shining on the eyes.

Phantom of Darkness.

The darkness of a fluid lingered, and the large, muscular body was hidden in the darkness of the Dao.

The light of the magic switch shone on the dark phantom, like a pot of boiling water poured on the snow. It looks fierce, but this snow-capped mountain is Mount Everest in the Himalayas, and this boiling water is only a small pot.

Darkness fears the light, but it regenerates incomparably faster. To want to shine all the darkness like this is simply wishful thinking. The magic switch is just a little slower on the monster's movements.

“$6.03……

$6.04……

$6.05……”

Loan billing for the "STEAM discount system" has started again.

"This black-hearted daughter!" Hou Longtao hurriedly scolded his daughter who was sleeping at home, and then shouted loudly to Bai Jie, "Do you still have any money there?" You use your phone to transfer some to me, the more the better! ”

Bai Jie's expression was just panicked, and there was no surprise in the expression of her delicate face. Whether it's a monster in the dark or a magical flashlight, it seems to be in her expectation.

"Okay." She replied briefly, lighting up the screen that would light up when the flashlight beam was emitted.

"Ding! You have a new transfer, please check it out! ”

Hou Longtao held a flashlight in his right hand and pointed it at the dark phantom, and took out his mobile phone in his left hand to receive the transfer.

"+20,000 RMB."

Hou Longtao first repaid the loan of the magic switch, and then chose to buy the silver sword with -50% OFF.

"Viper Silver Sword "The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt":

Damage: 125

Attribute:

Mark of Alder Strength +10% Poison Chance

+10% Poison Chance

+20% extra XP for Critical Strike on Monsters

(The White Orchard Cemetery is immortal)"

Hou Longtao bowed his body, a poisonous snake silver sword in one hand, and a magical switch in the other.

He pressed the red button of the magic switch to increase the power, and the white light that seemed to him to be warm instantly became dazzling.

The layers of lingering darkness peeled away and disappeared one by one, and a huge hairy monster was exposed to the light.

Sprint, pick up.

Hou Longtao held the silver sword and sank into the monster's body, his hands were covered with monster hair.

The dark green blood flowed to the ground like viper bile, and when it touched the white light of the magic switch, it immediately turned to ashes.

"So easy?" Hou Longtao said in disbelief. He was ready to fight a protracted battle, but this monster hidden in the darkness, once exposed to the light, was killed by himself with a single blow, like a piece of stinky tofu that could not move.

"Hey! ......" Bai Jie's voice trembled.

"What's wrong? The monsters are all killed, what are you afraid of? Hou Longtao carried the silver sword of the poisonous snake that was still standing with dark green blood, and turned back to Bai Jie in a dashing manner.

"Look...... Over there......" Bai Jie's eyes widened like copper bells, and his trembling arms pointed into the distance.

Hou Longtao looked along her trembling arm, and in the originally endless darkness, a pair of eyes lit up one after another......

Spread over the mountains, endlessly......

And it's still expanding......

"it!" Hou Longtao was also taken aback, "The quality is not good?" How many people come together? ”

He hurriedly walked back to Bai Jie's side and asked in a low voice, "Do you know where it's safe?" ”

Bai Jie shook his head.

It's annoying!

Hou Longtao looked down at the magic switch in his hand, although this thing does not consume lighting when it is normal brightness, but it consumes electricity when it is in super bright mode.

He had just used half of his power to dispel the darkness from a monster before he could kill with a seemingly easy one.

In the face of an almost endless number of monsters, a magic switch is useless!

Either way, it's important to recharge first!

"Do you know where there is a supermarket?" Hou Longtao asked Bai Jie.

Bai Jie nodded.

"Let's go to the supermarket." Hou Longtao made the final decision.

The night is silent.

Except for the sound of Hou Longtao and Bai Jie, there was no other sound.

Despite the artifact of light such as the magic switch, the thick darkness constantly evokes fear in the heart.

The 24-hour supermarket is dark.

Hou Longtao violently broke open the sensor door and shone towards the cash register, and the cashier, who had lost his color like a stone sculpture, began to regain his brilliance.

"Do you have a battery number one?" Hou Longtao asked.

"Nope." The weird cashier replied.

"Do you know where it is?"

The cashier raised his arm and pointed across the street to a run-down-looking grocery store.

"Thank you. Let's go. The first half of Hou Longtao's sentence was said to the cashier, and the second half of the sentence was said to Bai Jie.

Bai Jie was only next to Hou Longtao weakly, as if she wanted to cry, and I felt pity.

The moment Hou Longtao pushed open the ancient door of the grocery store, he suddenly heard a sentence, "The mission is on......"

"Old woman, do you have a battery here?" Hou Longtao didn't care about the headless sentence in his head, and asked the old woman in the grocery store directly.

"Yes." The old woman, hunched over as if all her teeth had gone, took out the battery and said, "If you want to go back, you must light the fire in the open high ground, waiting for the stars to return......
