"Should I say that it was expected—right?" In the darkness where he couldn't see anything, Lin Qing smiled silently. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, an hour had passed, and the mall system was officially opened, and Lin Qing found what he wanted in this mall for the first time.

[Group internal communication permission], the price is 45 points, this permission can allow the two people in the group to communicate with each other, whether it is the south or the north, you can communicate without barriers after opening this permission, it is really a must-have product for murder and arson home travel, the number is limited, first come, first served, want to buy as soon as possible.

"45 min...... It seems to be very expensive. After checking his score, Lin Qing frowned, and did not buy it immediately, but hesitated, "I only got 83 points?" In the third stage of the qualifiers, it is up to me to carry the victory of the 'lover' camp? How the hell is this product scored......"

"Hmm...... Or, to put it another way. Lin Qing frowned, and roughly browsed the prices of things in the mall, "The price of this thing is really unbeatable...... Just now, I thought maybe the GM was trying to help me, but now it seems that he is planning to trick me, right? Let's see if there's anything else-what? ”

Just when Lin Qing hesitated, the mall in his mind gave him a hint, and the score was already only 38 points.

“…… All right. Lin Qing was stunned for a second and let out a sigh, "It turned out that the group shared the score." After all, the little gold is all over the audience...... It's just a luxury, just to get in touch with something......"

"Lin Qing! Are you okay! A voice suddenly exploded in Lin Qing's mind, speaking extremely fast, and his voice trembled slightly, "You-you-you...... Can you hear me? ”

"It's too loud, little gold." Lin Qing tried to respond in his heart, "I'm fine, huh?" ”

"Whew......" let out a long exhale, and after a long time, the golden Libra said in a somewhat excited voice, "Great, great, you're okay......"

Then the voice stopped again, and became a little shaky again: "Sorry—sorry. ”

Lin Qing didn't have any expression on his face, but he simulated a cheerful mood when he spoke: "Why are you apologizing?" ”

"Because, I ......" Golden Libra's voice was a little choked, and he didn't seem to hear anything wrong with Lin Qing, "I'll put it, Lin invites you, lock it up, and yet, it hasn't been, and it's ...... released."

"Haha, what's there to apologize for?" Lin Qing's eyes were a little sad in the dark, "Not to mention that Xiao Jin, even if he cuts me into pieces with a knife, he can bring me the highest pleasure, Xiao Jin is not doing anything bad to me." ”

"......" a doubtful thought without a clear message was conveyed.

"Thanks to this, can't I stay by Little Gold's side all the time?"

"......" There was a wave of wavering in the thought of the golden scale, and there was emotion, sadness, and self-blame, but in the end, after the golden scale calmed down, he responded, "You, lie to me again." ”

"Haha, it's worthy of a little gold~" A little smile finally appeared on Lin Qing's face, "Look, you have caught a liar who has been cheating people, and even if you fall to this point, you will not repent." You're doing the right thing, right? Why regret it? ”

"Poof." Somehow, Golden Libra seemed to be amused by Lin Qing's words.

"Hmm...... I suddenly don't quite understand your laughter, little gold. Obviously, when I usually tell some more high-level jokes, you don't laugh. When Lin Qing was talking to people, he always used such a cheerful tone, "Really, it will be more troublesome to communicate in the future." ”

"Whew." The golden Libra used his mind to hear the sound of trying to hold back a laugh and leak.

"Little Gold, you've become a lot more lively." Saying this, Lin Qing's expression suddenly darkened for a moment, and his tone, of course, the tone of the words of the mind also became serious, "Well, I haven't talked to Xiao Jin for too long, and it's a bit too much nonsense." In the preliminary round, we are equivalent to only a little gold, but we need to prepare well, but we only have less than half an hour. ”

"Hmm." The golden scales happily agreed.

"Hmm-find a way to contact me in the mall, this kind of thing is not the same as Xiao Jin's thinking." Lin Qing himself said that he wanted to get down to business, but he diverted the topic again, "Does anyone help?" ”

Golden Libra did not have any dissatisfaction with this: "Thunder fire, right next to it." ”

"Oh, the boy who coughs up blood - if I remember correctly, he was on a team with Cang's sister, right? Now the Crimson Sea classmate is not here......" Lin Qing was silent for a while, "Little Gold, can you help me pass on a message?" ”

…………

"What the hell is this?!" The two-color ball roared loudly, and the sound resounded through the room he was.

Lei Huo intervened and sneered twice: "'Qianyuan uses nine' or something, it seems to be a sentence in the Book of Changes, right?" ”

Wearing a robe and a mask, the only eye that was still exposed, the two-color ball himself, shook the three pages in his hand in annoyance: "Of course I know this!" As a standard secondary disease, this level can only be regarded as an entry-level disease! However, I would like to ask what the Precursor means by these things! ”

"That's a good question~" Lei Huo dragged out a long tone, and then rolled his eyes suddenly, "How do I know!" ”

"......" the two-color ball sighed, "In short, let's push the hexagram and hexagram first...... Go get me a copy of "Zhou Yi". ”

"Hey-it's arrogant, soul-" Thunderfire's grumbling voice was not over, and his figure disappeared here.

The two-colored ball put away his finger on the ground, carefully studied the few pieces of paper in his hand, sighed, closed his eyes, and a second later, he disappeared from the room and came to the huge crystal square.

"Ahem, dear clients, how do you feel?" As soon as you raise your hand, the puzzles that players are trying to solve in a tangled way, as well as the traps that keep appearing, and the occasional monster of unknown origin that flies out, all turn into a puff of smoke and disappear in an instant.

"Whew-whew-" The exhausted player, after finally getting calm, was in no mood to pay attention to him, and just lay on the ground gasping for air.

The copy made by the two-color ball is very special, although he created a staircase that leads to the sky, and hides a large number of small rooms with different functions under this staircase - such as the "Time Lag Laboratory" that was once used to preserve Lin Qing's body - but these are areas that do not require the player to explore.

For players who enter this dungeon, they will be in a state of immobility at first, and listen to the two-color ball explain the rules of the dungeon. And they will learn from here that all they need to do is go through ten arranged mini-games in the square where the quest starts, and if they meet certain requirements in this game, they will be able to clear the level smoothly, otherwise they will fail.

And that's exactly what happened. More conscientiously, when they die due to traps or infighting, the boss will kindly provide them with a resurrection service, and in many cases the cost is only a fraction of the loot they receive. The information of this quest is widely circulated among players, and although there is no windfall profit, it is a good place to make steady profits.

Sometimes, when some players still fail to clear the level after nine mini-games, the boss will reappear to provide them with more intimate and preferential services - as long as they give 30% of the loot, they can continue to play the game and get resurrected until they clear the level.

Well, at least, when these people first heard it, they thought it was a good service.

And players like this group, who have been trapped by the rule of "living in a dungeon and can't take the initiative offline", and the trading condition of "as long as you die, you will be resurrected immediately", have been here for more than a month - they are not surprised that they have not gone crazy with the two-color ball.

There is another point, the time ratio between this world and the player's world is 3:1, and the two-color ball has long been known, because of this, these guys have been playing for more than ten days in a row, and they have never been disconnected due to external reasons, which makes the two-color ball even more surprised.

Judging from the content of the "Sao Plan", the forerunners probably expected this to be the case a long time ago. The two-color ball that realized this also became more and more respectful to Lin Qing - he had long thought that the player was just a pawn on the chessboard, what a middle two. Because of a not very reliable guess, such a detailed plan was carried out, and what a burst of self-confidence.

When the two-color ball was thinking about these things, the players finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a mediocre-looking female player stood up - since more than twenty days ago, this woman has become the core of this group of players, she is not very special, but she has a lot of shining points, she is resilient, she is calm, she may not be able to make the most correct decisions, but she will never make mistakes on impulse.

With the presence of such a person, the team's tolerance for repetitive work has greatly increased, and the two-color ball is grateful for this.

If these players finally can't stand these mini-games and start exploring other areas of the dungeon, triggering the side quests that they have to arrange in order to create those areas, they will have to send them out in order to avoid danger.

Because this woman helped a lot in retaining the test subject, the two-color ball was very fond of her, and her tone became gentle and considerate: "Okay, don't worry, don't get excited, I know you're tired, if you have something to say, say it slowly, okay-"

"Talk~" An ice pick rose straight from the ground and passed through the body of the two-color ball, but he was not injured because of this, but turned into a shadow-like thing that appeared in the ice pick, because of the shape of the ice pick, he looked a little subtly deformed, and his head was more pointed than before, "Always fight and kill, but it will be harder." ”

"What do you do?" The female player was stunned for a moment, and then turned her face to ask the player behind her who was good at ice magic, and it seemed that she was indeed a little unexpected.

The ice player was a woman with a cold expression and a very hot body, she ignored the words of the provisional team leader, but by raising her hand, an ice gun shattered the ice pick, and after seeing the two-color ball standing next to her unharmed, she said slowly: "I have thought about it carefully." When you first appeared, you said you were the boss, right? ”

The two-color ball knew in his heart, squinted and smiled: "Yes, and then what?" ”

"Well, we were thinking wrong from the start." The ice player's expression was very serious, "Fight dungeons and farm bosses, this is the right way." You're amazing, and we're completely fooled by you. ”

"Hey......" the two-color ball chuckled and whispered, "The guy with the idea can actually see through my awesomeness - hehe." Unfortunately, if you don't want to kill me, but think, 'The world is so big, run out and see,' I might really have a bit of a headache." ”

Just as the two-color ball muttered, the ice gun collided with the ice pick and exploded, and the ice chips scattered in the air suddenly changed their original trajectory, gathered together, and turned into ice blades, stabbing the two-color ball from all directions.

The two-color ball smiled lightly: "If the physical attack is ineffective, you should try the attribute attack-"

As he spoke, the blades pierced straight through the body of the two-color ball, meeting near his original stomach and colliding together, making a "clanging" sound.

"I thought you'd be smarter." The sound of the two-color ball resounded behind the players.

When I turned around, I saw the two-color ball wrapped around his arms, leaning his back against the crystal pillar that had been asking them the question, smiling.

"You-" the ice mage shouted a little angrily, then turned his head and yelled at his teammates, "Hey! Aren't you going to help! Don't you think we're being tricked? ”

A male player frowned, "This boss is kind to us, right?" Your reaction is a little too aggressive. Besides, we were only a little short of meeting the requirements last time. ”

The surrounding players all nodded in agreement, but it seemed that due to the courage of the ice mage, they could only nod their heads.

"Just a little bit! Just a little bit! It's just a little bit worse every time! The ice mage seemed to be annoyed, and he turned around violently, turned his back to the two-color orb, and shouted at the group, "Don't you understand! That's the guy's plan! That guy's conspiracy! With 'just a little', let's focus all our attention on that 'little bit'! ”

The two-color ball clapped with a smile on his face, maybe because he was the absolute master here, or maybe because the discussion of the players all revolved around him, and the group of players stopped arguing almost at the same time and looked to his side.

"Very—excellent." The two-color ball said in a low voice, "It's really good." Neither you nor them. This play was beautifully acted, and it was about twenty days to hide from the 'leader' in order to kill me, right? I haven't been here for more than 20 days. It's excellent no matter how you look at it. But do you know why you haven't been successful? ”

"Because, you don't know what it means to let go."

The two-color orb demon smiled, and before he could finish speaking, two black shadows appeared from the shadows behind him, and then the crystal pillar he was leaning on, including all the crystal pillars in the field, were glowing with different colors and patterns, and less than a second later, a large amount of magic erupted from those crystal pillars like an explosion.

Frost, flames, purple lightning, dark swirls, air currents of all colors, strange crystals that give people an extraordinary sense of mystery, etc.—countless things that should not coexist in this world, things that do not exist at all, are created in a way that is incomprehensible to the people of this world, and interact with each other throughout the square, and can be called madness.

Of course, even the players themselves were not immune, in a game they had never seen before, because they had been forbidden by order all along, and in a small space, in a large-scale, high-intensity magic explosion, they were all blown to ashes.

But that's exactly what they're hoping for, and what they're looking for is no longer to clear the level, but to get out of here.

When they came back to life and found the crystal square, which was not familiar to the eye, and looked as if it was nothing, they all let out a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and both saw a smile of relief in each other's eyes.

Then, the wiser ones suddenly realized that they were still together, and then they found that their bodies seemed to be fixed, and that the huge shadowless lamp in the sky, which glowed white, looked like a built-in part of some kind of hospital facility here, giving people a very strong sense of ominousness.

The ominous white light soon became less noticeable, though, as it was obscured by an even brighter, more dazzling golden glow - the glint of the boss's eyes, which they had seen several times.

"Yo, good morning, everybody." The two-color ball was wearing a mask at this time, holding a scalpel in both hands, but he was still wearing the Britanian-style robe, and he looked more out of place than usual, "Let's continue the conversation from last time. You don't know how to let go, what does that mean? Quite simply, when you find out that there is a serious deviation in the plan, you still go according to the original plan, why are you so stupid? Is it because too much effort has been spent on this plan? ”

"Anyway, you shouldn't have tried again when you found out that those physical attacks didn't work for me."

"But since you insist on doing so, it stands to reason that you will have to pay the price for this decision."

Then, in this small "living laboratory", there was a tooth-sore wail.

…………

"So, I was originally going to talk to you about things and want to let you out." The two-color ball smiled and beckoned to the group of players, and with each wave of his hand, the group twitched nervously, "It's just that you made a mistake and I have to punish it." So I'm going to get rid of you? Don't hide offline, don't even dare to play the game~"
