Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 976 Water can carry boats... No, water can't carry many boats
"That is to say, none of us can open our mouths to agree to charter a boat until we have heard all the rules."

The old-fashioned gentleman with silver threads on his head nodded thoughtfully, and raised his voice: "This dungeon will not be so simple... There must be more rules, right? You can finish the sentence at once."

"I'm a troublemaker," said dryly over the loudspeaker, "and the regulations I make are not complicated. Listen, it takes you ten minutes to walk across the water from here to the other side; you get on the boat, It will take 10 minutes to step on it again. I am too lazy to maintain the pedal boat. Even if you break your leg, you will not be able to pedal fast. Anyway, it takes 10 minutes to go back and forth.”

Everyone looked at the pedal boat across the lake in silence, and paused when they heard the loudspeaker, as if drinking water.

"Oh, by the way, because I really hate trouble, so I only accept one person to return the boat and refund the deposit every 10 minutes, otherwise I can't bear the pressure of such a big job."

"Eh?"

The white-skinned girl who seemed to be from Eastern Europe opened her eyes and just uttered a syllable before she was silenced by her teammates.The problem she was aware of also surfaced in everyone's mind at this time; everyone's expression became slightly serious, and they continued to listen.

"When you reach the pedal boat parking spot on the other side of the lake, I can't hear anything you say to me. If you want to talk to me, you have to go back to the rental spot." There was a sound of smacking lips from the speaker, "But, There's only one exception... If you're going to renew your lease, then even if you talk to me on Mars, I can hear you. For the money."

"Of course, I want to remind you of one thing. After the time limit of 10 minutes is up, I don't care if you don't get on the boat; if you want to renew the lease, you have to speak aloud before you can board the boat."

Everyone heard this, and finally someone couldn't help it.

The squad leader glanced at his companion uneasily, and said in a low voice, "I...why don't I understand?"

Lin Sanjiu knew exactly what her doubts were, because she was also in the same confusion.

"It only takes 10 minutes for the few of us to walk there, and there are at least... more than 100 pedal boats over there." The squad leader said in a low voice, "Just jump on one, and we will return immediately, and it only takes about 20 minutes to go back and forth. Even if he only charges one person to return the ship every 10 minutes, we will wait here from the 21st point! As long as we continue to pay the deposit, we can all pass the customs smoothly. This dungeon...is it for us to Playing on a boat?"

Her team members turned their heads and glanced at Lin Sanjiu when they heard the words, with thorns in their eyes.

"Since she dared to release this dungeon," the round-faced team leader snorted, "there must be someone behind."

"Listen first, maybe there are still rules." The squad leader said hesitantly.

"There's nothing wrong with the rules," said the loudspeaker abruptly, "There's just a warning, you need to know."

Several people immediately shut their mouths.

"...Although there are many pedal boats, I don't guarantee which ones can be used and which ones can't be used, and how long the ones that can be used will last."

As soon as these words came out, even Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a while.

"What do you mean it's not guaranteed to work?" the Eastern European girl asked.Ever since she heard that the water level will rise, her complexion has been glowing blue; there is no other reason, because she is the smallest among the six, only about 1.6 meters.

"It's literally. There are many people who come to swim in the lake, and many people drown here. But even so, I'm still too lazy to repair those pedal boats... at worst, let me warn you in advance, it won't be me if I drown thing."

"Wait a minute," the round-faced team leader immediately responded, "You mean, if we pick a random boat, it might sink..."

"That's it. I can't remember how many good boats there are. Most of them leaked to some extent, and they sank when I rowed. Every time the water was released, I had to take advantage of the lake. When I was descending, I picked up those sunken ships and put them back...Although it was troublesome, I just didn't bother to fix it. Uh... how many tourists came last time, it seemed like a whole family of people, old and small, finally How many survived? Oh, yes, four."

Speaking of this, the voice in the loudspeaker chuckled: "Then, there should be four strong and intact ships now."

Six people, four boats?
And also submerged in such a large densely packed pedal boat?

Everyone's faces turned ugly immediately—only Lin Sanjiu let out a long breath suddenly, feeling like a heart had finally fallen back into her stomach; her breath was so obvious that those people turned their heads, His eyes scratched over, as if trying to scrape out an answer from her flesh.

Fortunately, luck in misfortune.

As long as this dungeon rule doesn't create a situation where a team of five join forces to deal with Lin Sanjiu alone, then it's a good thing for her.No matter what will happen in the dungeon, Lin Sanjiu knows that she will definitely be listed as the first person who can be drowned; what she is most worried about is that the other party will use the advantage of numbers and combine the rules to solve her in the dungeon in one fell swoop—after all Here, force cannot help her much.

But once the other party knows that another person needs to be sacrificed in the five-member group, the situation becomes delicate.

Sacrifice who?
"We don't necessarily have to play this dungeon. Why?"

The man with a suffocated look had a heavy face at this moment, with a bad look on his face: "She released the copy, and if she is gone, the copy might disappear."

"But special items and abilities are different..." the Eastern European girl began.

"Don't be stupid," Drooping Face interrupted her rudely, "As long as this woman is finished, don't we have the final say on what special items she has on her and whether or not to maintain the effect?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a reply came from the loudspeaker.

"Seeing that you are not tall, you are not short-hearted." The voice of the dungeon host said leisurely, "When you are both in the water, you can't use force. Only when one of you is on the boat can you start attacking each other. .”

The five fell silent, and after two seconds, the man with the slumped face said heavily from his throat: "It's not too late."

In that loudspeaker, it didn't mention which party was on board to launch an attack... It can only be assumed by default that any party on board can launch an attack.In other words, the earliest attack on her by the five-person team would happen about 10 minutes after the start of the instance—that is, when they approached the pile of pedal boats and started looking for a boat.

"It's useless to kill me," Lin Sanjiu almost smiled wryly, "Are you stupid? I put myself in the copy, and I also included myself in it?"

"That's not necessarily the case. It's not the first day we entered the dungeon." The round-faced man had a pair of sharp eyes. Whenever he looked up at Lin Sanjiu from the corners of his eyes, it made him look like a bird about to be killed. Buns cut with sharp lines. "Maybe you are pretending to participate in the game, have some hidden advantages or backhands."

"You don't suspect the only one who's missing?"

"That person is a member of our Nocturnal Girls, I have an impression of him." The squad leader immediately answered, "He has no reason to harm us, maybe the scope of the dungeon just didn't include him - there may be many reasons."

Lin Sanjiu just wanted to sigh.

Counting it, she hadn't signed in for a day and a night; from this point of view, the word "life is in danger" might be on this dungeon.

"Let me remind you," the middle-aged man with silver hair slowly opened his mouth, speaking very elegantly: "There are still some key questions we haven't asked-how to tell which ship is intact? The first time For the deposit, is a certain evolutionary ability drawn out at random, or can you choose by yourself?"

"Huh?" The speaker was genuinely surprised, "Didn't I say that?"

Lin Sanjiu had an ominous premonition.

"The deposit is for all evolutionary abilities. Not only advanced abilities, but also basic physical strength enhancement." When everyone was pale and unable to say a word, the loudspeaker continued: "As for how to distinguish... I don't know. How do I know? I heard that it’s easy to separate, so please do your best.”

　The list of thanks is a bit too long... I guess I can't put down the testimonials... I have seen everyone's comfort to me, and I am very grateful. I will open a single chapter to formally thank you!
