Chapter 12: The Malice of Favorability
"Curfew?" Jiang Lu was stunned: "I haven't heard of this setting, I banned supper, so why am I hungry?" β
"You're really illiterate! Curfew means martial law! The heavy cannon couldn't wait to punch him in the face: "And we haven't eaten anything since we came in for so long, so we won't be hungry in the spirit realm at all, right?" β
Time was urgent, and the ghost-faced fox didn't even have the heart to persuade him, so he said anxiously: "There is only one minute left, hurry up and go into the room." β
"Then I'll sleep in this room, this door is pink."
Jiang Lu rushed again, and as soon as the heavy artillery turned around after listening to the words of the ghost-faced fox, he had already seen that he had slipped to the door of the room at some point.
"Whenβ" The heavy artillery was stunned.
There was a bang behind him, and when he turned his head again, Liu Dao had already entered the house and closed the door.
"It's not you..."
The ghost-faced fox reminded from the crack in the door: "Why are you still stunned?" β
There was another bang.
The heavy artillery had no choice but to pick up his bracelet from the coffee table with a gloomy face, and hurriedly entered the only remaining room.
As he closed the door, the bracelets of the four began to broadcast at the same time again:
[Supervisor Log Updated]
[Accumulated Soul Redemption Counts: 1]
[Cumulative number of successes: 0]
[The performance is not up to standard, please make persistent efforts]
[Opinion deduction: 10]
[Until the next refresh metric: 6 days]
So far, everyone's broadcast content is the same, and the broadcast of Ghostface Fox and Willow Knife has ended.
But Jiang Lu and the heavy artillery continued to broadcast.
Heavy Artillery: [Detected that your opinion is 49, lower than 50, the overseer power you can use has become weaker, and it is no longer absolutely suppressed by prisoners, and you may encounter prisoner resistance or even threats during redemption, please note]
Jiang Lu: [You blasphemed Jesus at the time of redemption, the God of Salvation is very satisfied, your favorability has been called back to 89, please keep up the good work]
Heavy artillery: "? β
Jiang Lu: "! β
Heavy artillery: "! β
Jiang Lu: "? β
Although they were not in the same place, at the same time, the two spoke in unison.
"The God of Salvation wants to send people to heaven, but it turns out that he is not on the same side as God?" Jiang Lu was very surprised: "What Erwuzai? β
Compared to his fun spirit, the heavy artillery is much more dignified.
"There is even such a setting..."But thinking of Jiang Lu, he calmed down a lot: "Even if there is a random threat, I should be able to deal with it, as long as the firepower is sufficient, it is not a problem." β
Ghostface stared at the opinion that he was now 58 and fell into deep thought.
Is there anything wrong with a low opinion rating?
A pass of 60 points? Or a 50-point pass?
The broadcast didn't say anything...
What happened to the others?
It must have changed, right?
The Exorcist panel cannot be used in the realm to contact them... This uneasiness of missing information...
Damn, so urgent!
We will have to wait until the curfew is lifted.
Liu Dao looked at 53's favorability, and at first felt a little confused like the ghost-faced fox.
But the thought of someone who should be lower than herself makes her relieved...
Although the four rooms are a little different in size, the interior layout is not different.
A small round wooden table, a wooden chair, a single bed, a window with a view of the endless sea of fog outside the Black Tower, and even no bathroom, that's all there is here.
Compared to the opulence of the hall, the room is unpretentious, highlighting the style of a construction site dormitory.
Jiang Lu looked around, but didn't find anything special.
It seems that this is an ordinary resting point, which is not much better than digging a hole in the MC to set up a bed.
"Now that we're done, let's go to bed first."
Jiang Lu lifted the somewhat stiff quilt and sat down directly.
He was used to sleeping naked, so he took off his Overseer's robes.
But just when he took off his coat, he suddenly discovered a very serious thing-
In the spiritual realm, the [Silk Nightgown with Temperature] he was equipped with was manifested!
"Hey, hey."
Jiang Lu finally did not choose to sleep naked, but closed his eyes contentedly in his pajamas with the mentality of giving it a try.
......
Six o'clock in the morning.
Although the Black Tower was still shrouded in darkness, the bracelet still started the broadcast on time.
[Curfew has been lifted, you have regained your freedom permit]
The four of them came out of the room one after another and sat down in the hall.
Jiang Lu and Liu Dao looked radiant and well-rested, and the heavy artillery looked serious, because he and the ghost-faced fox came out first, and they pushed open the door almost after the bracelet was broadcast, so they had already communicated with each other before the two came out, and their favorability was deducted ten points.
As for the ghost-faced fox, his face was haggard, and it couldn't be said that he hadn't rested well, and he looked like he hadn't slept all night.
"We're in trouble."
As soon as he saw the two of them coming to the hall, the ghost-faced fox said solemnly to Jiang Lu and Liu Dao:
"After the opinion level drops below fifty, there may be an unexpected situation during the period of redemption, although I don't know what it is, but it should be some kind of mechanism to prevent us from acting."
He didn't ask about the other two.
Because none of the four of them completed the redemption the day before, they must have been deducted from their favorability.
However, only the heavy artillery is below fifty, and the others have no effect for the time being.
So Jiang Xin, who was not specially cued, secretly turned the side of the bracelet showing favorability to the direction of his wrist, and then sat next to them: "There is still such a thing?" β
The heavy artillery was not so panicked, but after listening to the analysis of the ghost-faced fox who had been thinking about it all night, he finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and now his expression is not very good-looking: "Yesterday was so smooth, there is still one step away from completing the redemption, and today I am afraid it will be even more difficult." β
"If it has been decreasing like this, I can redeem a prisoner twice, but now I am afraid it will have to be three or even four times..."
Ghost-faced Fox sighed: "And we don't know how much the favorability will increase after successful redemption, if you add too little, then it will only become more and more difficult to redeem later."
Yesterday our choice was considered the least difficult, but it didn't work out, if one person didn't succeed, maybe it was just a coincidence, but everyone didn't succeed and had to suspect that it was the mechanism.
That is to say, according to the worst-case scenario, two redemptions at the earliest, a total of three days to complete an indicator.
But on the third day, our opinion has been deducted by 20 each, which is less than 50 points, so it is very likely that our efforts on the first day will be greatly discounted or even wasted because of this debuff.
Then the number of the fastest three days may have to be increased.
During this period, our favorability is getting lower and lower, and the difficulty is getting bigger and bigger, and it is very likely that we will fall into a situation where we will not be able to complete the target after a week.
Therefore, we are running out of time, and we must tackle this spiritual realm before our favorability is deducted. β
"These are the worst-case scenarios, it shouldn't be so unlucky..."After Liu Dao understood the logic, he suddenly felt that the setting of this favorability was full of malice.
"This is an S-class spiritual realm." Ghost-faced fox said word by word: "I have to plan for the worst." β
Jiang Lu pondered for a long time, and finally understood the stakes.
"I suddenly remembered an old man... Oh no, I should say that there is a high degree of overlap between a real event in history, and what we are experiencing now. β
Several people who were in a depressed mood looked at Jiang Lu one after another.
Jiang Lu sighed deeply: "Have you ever heard of Pinxixi? β
"Spelling?" Lancet and heavy artillery have apparently not heard of this term.
But the ghost-faced fox changed his expression and thought of something.
Jiang Lu showed hatred on his face: "I also occasionally saw and learned in ancient books, this is an evil enterprise that plays with numbers in the palm of its hand, claiming to invite relatives and friends to participate in the slash and have a chance to receive a red envelope or an irresistible discount."
But no matter how you call someone, no matter how you cut it, his progress bar is always at 99.99%, and those who are kept in the dark don't know that this is a cursed number, it could be 99.9, it could be 99.99, it could be 99.999, you never know how many decimal places there are.
You just have to know that it never becomes 100.
If everything is the same as Ghostface analyzed, then this is no different from the current situation, we will always be infinitely close to full salvation, but we will never succeed until our opinion is cleared.
You don't have to think about it to know what to expect, which means that we will be liquidated by the Courier before we complete the task of Raiding the Spirit Realm! β
"Although the situation is similar, why do you look bitter and hateful?" After his reminder, the ghost-faced fox finally remembered the company that was a flash in the pan many years ago, so he was very strange, it has been so many years, almost half a century, it stands to reason that it is not a thing of the same era, why does Jiang Lu behave like this.
"Don't you understand?"
Jiang Lu shook his head:
"The Black Tower plays with numbers, and spells and plays with numbers.
The Black Tower gave an impossible task, and Spell Xixi also gave an impossible task.
The black tower draws cakes for regulators, and spells cakes for consumers.
On top of that, the Black Tower and Pinxi have never appeared together.
So I seriously suspect that the Black Tower is the reincarnation of the filthy earth! β
