Qin Rang was puzzled: "That's right, but how can you predict in advance which copy we are going to enter?" ”

"It's not a foresight, it's a gamble," replied Qi Jiu, "Of course, it's a gamble with a certain amount of room for manipulation, so don't worry too much." ”

Qi Yan explained his set of "Ou Huangmeng Thesis" again, Qin Rang heard it in a fog but felt that it was very reasonable, and immediately slapped his thigh and applauded.

"Next, I'm going to get into this copy." Qi Yan put the card with the blood mist hot spring hotel in front of Qin Rang.

Qin Rang picked up the card and looked at it carefully: "Hot spring theme? ”

He flipped over the card, and the back of the card marked the restrictions and type of the copy.

This is a highly flexible quest, with no fixed number of travelers entering the quest, only a limit of 21 players. Instead of giving the theme of "Survive for Seven Days" as in "Canned Rose Fish", travelers are asked to dig deep into it to find clues to explore the corresponding plot and questline.

But even a novice like him understands that a high degree of freedom is the same as a high degree of difficulty, because without a clear goal, a lot of exploration is futile, and it can even trigger a bigger crisis, and sometimes you don't even know how to end the dungeon.

Just as a free propositional essay is always harder to get a high score than a propositional essay.

Qin Rang couldn't help but ask, "Why this copy?" It doesn't look easy......"

He didn't believe that Qi Jiu entered the hot springs to take a vacation.

"That's right, but I have an agreement with others, I need to go into this copy and get something," passing the copy is a matter of risking his life, so Qi Ji never hides his partner, and gives the choice to the other party, "You can reconsider whether to cooperate, what I can promise is to provide you with clues and help within my ability like the previous one." ”

Qin Rang took a deep breath and said firmly: "If I am with you, of course there is no problem." ”

He doesn't feel offended because of his European emperor physique, being regarded as a "tool man" in this book, on the contrary, being able to live with Qi Ji makes him feel very secure, although this newcomer has been trying to survive at the limit, and the process of passing the book is so exciting that it seems to be riding a roller coaster with a speed of more than 200km/h, but Qin Rang, who grew up in a businessman's family, knows very well that cooperating with reliable people, huge risks can often bring huge benefits, "canned rose fish" is the best example.

"So what do we need to do now?" Qin Rang asked again, there was very little information given on the cards, and it was impossible to start previewing.

Qi Zhen had already been prepared, he took out a hot spring promotional map that he got out of nowhere, and handed the pen and paper to Qin Rang: "We can first work backwards from the elements involved in the hot spring, if I am the designer of the dungeon, I may design events such as drowning, boiling water to boil living people, and the infestation of unknown creatures underwater in the hot spring-themed dungeon, and because of the rules, it is unlikely that travelers will avoid bathing in the hot springs throughout the whole process, so we must make a plan to solve these problems in advance, such as learning swimming or drowning prevention props, cooling props, stealth props, etc., Combined with the weird art style of this card, you also have to prepare some props to deal with ghosts...... Similar to this, we can prepare some props in advance according to the rules and crises of the reverse rollout, so that we can be prepared. ”

Qi Yan spoke quickly but clearly, but Qin Rang was stunned when he heard it, and Qi Yan asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

Qin Rang shook his head, looked at Qi Yan incredulously, and said in a half-joking tone, "It's not... Were you really just a high school student before you came in? You're a serious school, right? I'm going to wonder how you've learned how to make copies and design them, and to be honest, sometimes you give me the same feeling as the natives here. ”

Qi Yan smiled: "I'm just better at adapting, but ......"

He suddenly paused in the middle of speaking, staring at the blood mist bubble pool on the promotional map.

Seeing that he was suddenly silent, Qin Rang hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Qi Jiu's eyes lit slightly, and he curled the corners of his lips slightly and said, "I seem to be ...... I've really found a way to avoid hot springs with a high probability. ”

He instantly overturned his previous assertion that it was unlikely that he would avoid bathing in hot springs all the time.

"If there is a hot spring, there will definitely be a tourism industry and a hotel, and we can go in as a candidate, so that not only can we avoid the hot spring process, but we may also get two sets of rules for travelers and employees." Qi Yan explained.

Qin Rang: "How can you be sure that the hot spring hotel there is recruiting?" ”

Qi Jiu: "Even if we don't recruit people, we can sell ourselves and strive to make the bosses can't help but recruit people." ”

Qin Rang: "Huh? ”

Qi Yan smiled: "First of all, we have to learn a 'eating' craft first. ”

*

So in the following week, the landlubber Qi Yan learned to swim without heating, and also bought several pairs of props at a good price through Ji Xiaoye's channels, one of which was called "Ice Maker That Makes People Tremble" The prop only cost 15 yuan, which is cheaper than a pack of cat food.

The merchant who sold him the props was also very happy, these useless prop cards had been smashed in his hands for a long time, and now he was in short supply of survival coins, and he urgently needed to change hands for survival days, so the price was very negotiable.

But the bad news is that psychic props are expensive, although Qi Zhen gritted his teeth and could afford it, but overall it was not cost-effective.

In the end, the boss gave him a cheap prop at the bottom of the box: "This "ghost lamp detector" only costs 7 coins, and there is no attack and defense against evil spirits, but you can simply measure the number of resentful spirits around, the more resentful spirits there are, the heavier the yin qi, the more powerful the ghost fire will be ignited from the ghost lamp. ”

Qi Yan took the "detector" in the shape of a small skull in his hand with great interest, and asked the boss, "In other words, he can convert ghost energy into fire energy?" ”

The first time he heard this outrageous statement, the boss was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the truth, so he nodded and said, "It can be understood in this way, anyway, it is quite good to use it to test the spirit field." ”

Qi Yan took the little skull he liked and handed the 7 coins to the boss: "Okay, the deal." ”

In addition to buying strange props, Qi Yan also found a NPC specializing in massage, so that he finally persuaded the other party to start a class to teach massage skills, Qi Yan pulled Qin Rang to spend 3 survival coins a day, and got up early every day to come over diligently to learn massage.

Half a month later, Qi Yan, who learned to swim and massage, bought two copy binding cards, one for him and Qin Rang, wrote each other's names on the binding cards, and then contacted the system at the same time to open the copy.

A familiar voice sounded in my ears—

[Hello dear travelers, you are welcome to choose to enter the dungeon again]

[Please check if the "Binding Card" is used]

"Confirm use."

[The binding card has officially taken effect]

[Transcript loading......]

The sound of the rain outside the window is fading, the smell of dampness in the air is fading, and Qi Jiu's senses are gradually blurring until they are completely gone.

It was as if his existence had been dissolved in a city where the rain was non-stop.

[Quest Quest: Free Exploration Dungeon, the main quest will be triggered during the exploration, so stay tuned]

[Quest Background: To be Explored]

[Duration of the dungeon: no limit, please control it yourself]

The smell of industrial leather and gasoline filled his nose, and Qi Yan struggled to open his eyes, and found himself in the passenger seat of an off-road vehicle, the sky outside the window was dim, and he suddenly couldn't tell the specific time period when he didn't appear.

Qi Zhen wiped the white mist from his glasses and refocused his gaze, and he found that the off-road vehicle was parked on the side of the road in the wilderness, and the driver's seat was empty.

In the rearview mirror, Qin Rang, who was lying in the back seat, seemed to have just woken up, and he raised his hand to rub his eyes and asked, "Are we coming in?" ”

Qin Rang sat up, the window glass in the back seat was also covered with a layer of white fog, he wiped the window glass clean with his sleeve, the fine snow fell outside the window, and the snow-covered wasteland appeared in view.

A gray highway spreads over the snowy wasteland, and the whole white land is very quiet, and the falling snow absorbs all the colors and sounds of the world.

Qin Rang was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "Where have we been?" ”

"It doesn't look like a hot spring resort on the cards, does it? Qi Study... Did our plan fail? Qin Rang's voice gradually lowered, he flattened his mouth, and his tone was depressed.

After all, they specially prepared for half a month for this time, but it was all in vain.

Although the items can be used in subsequent dungeons, and the skills learned will not be useless, this feeling is like a long-awaited trip with a good strategy suddenly canceled due to force majeure factors, and the feeling of disappointed expectations is not pleasant.

Qi Yan didn't answer Qin Rang's question immediately, he looked out the window at the fine snow in a daze, and after a while, he said to himself: "But this weather is very suitable for hot springs." ”

He was not in a hurry to conclude that he had failed, after all, there was only a gray road in front of their eyes.

Qi Yan quickly observed the situation in the car, the car key was already inserted in the keyhole, the fuel tank was also full, and they could start on the road at any time.

Soon, Qi Yan was attracted by the car radio next to the driver's seat, he leaned forward and turned the FM button, and when he tuned to the frequency band 79.90MHz-

[Dear driver, welcome to listen to the No. 79 road radio, it is 5 o'clock in the afternoon, it will broadcast the road conditions for you in real time, there is no congestion on the highway at present, but the weather is bad, please slow down and drive carefully]

A sweet female voice flowed out of the car radio, and both of them in the car were stunned.

"Qin Rang, do you have a driver's license?" Qi Ji looked back and asked.

"Huh?" Qin Rang came back to his senses, "I have a driver's license, but the car is not very proficient, and the driver used to drive it at home." ”

Qi Yan smiled: "It doesn't matter if you're not skilled, there are no other cars here, it looks safe." ”

Qin Rang: "What do you mean...?" ”

Qi Yan looked at Qin Rang in the rearview mirror: "The driver is gone, and I can't drive, so the driver's responsibility will be handed over to you." ”

He had planned to learn to drive during the summer vacation at the end of his junior year of high school, but now it seems that there is little chance left.

"No problem." Qin Rang no longer indulged in frustration, anyway, he came here, and the copy still had to continue.

He immediately unbuckled the seat belt on his body and made a gesture to open the car door, but was immediately stopped by Qi Jiu -

"Don't open the door!"

Qin Rang was startled, and the hand he had just stretched out immediately retracted: "What's wrong?!" ”

Qi Jiu: "We don't know the situation on the road, it's better not to open the door and go out without permission now, in case any death mechanism is triggered, it will be dangerous." ”

"yes, almost ...... I've been in the city for too long, and I don't have a sense of crisis. Qin Rang patted his chest in fear.

To be on the safe side, Qin Rang shrank up, carefully stepped over the narrow gap between the seats, and moved himself to the driver's seat with difficulty.

He adjusted the height of the seat slightly, checked the driving equipment again, and quickly turned the key to start the car-

[The minimum speed limit on the highway is 60km/h, please do not drive below the speed]

Qin Rang: "... The previous broadcast also said please slow down, and now it says that the minimum speed limit is 60, which is so contradictory. ”

As he spoke, Qin Rangbian drove the car as required.

"Where are we going?" Qin Rang asked Qi Yan.

Qi Yan looked at the falling snow outside the window: "Let's take a look at the situation first." ”

"Well, it looks like a road-themed copy? But are we the only two of us in this copy? Qin Rang chattered while driving.

Qi Yan didn't speak, and it was too early to think that it was too early to enter the wrong dungeon, because the system had given a hint when he came in, this was a highly free exploration dungeon, and the hot spring book they chose was also a highly free copy, maybe they hadn't arrived at the place where the dungeon started.

The car drove for about five minutes, and Qin Rang, who was holding the steering wheel, said softly: "Look, there seems to be a fork in the road ahead." ”

The windshield wipers kept sweeping away the snow, and through the white snow mist, it was vaguely visible that there were two roads on the left and one on the right three hundred meters ahead.

The fork in the road is not signposted.

Qin Rang's face was embarrassed: "It's okay now, we should choose that path." ”

The car radio sounded "at the right time" -

[Hello driver, please choose the direction of "good luck" and continue to move forward]

Qin Rang was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Who knows what direction "good luck" is going? There doesn't seem to be a sign in front of ......."

Seeing that the fork in the road was about to arrive, Qin Rang looked at the left and right sides of the road in a daze, but there was nothing here except falling snow and wasteland.

Because of the distraction, Qin Rang's speed was gradually decreasing, and after noticing, Qi Yan reminded him: "Pay attention to the speed of the car to keep at 60km/h." ”

"Oh," Qin Rang gathered his mind and increased the throttle, the fork in the road was close in sight, his hand holding the steering wheel was slightly sweaty, and his voice trembled a little because of helplessness, "Can ...... Where should we go later? ”

There are no roadside signs, so their only source of information is in-car radio.

Since the announcement instructs them to continue in the direction of "good luck", that is, the fork in the road leads to the "good luck" road and the "bad luck" road, if they are confused, they have a 1 in 2 chance of guessing.

"Keep going" also means they don't have the option to turn around.

The car has to maintain a travel speed of at least 60km, and the current situation does not allow them to think too much, and the fork in the road is close at hand-
