A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Chapter 6 Death, or Riches

When they got in front of the real person, even the people who were still mumbling and complaining on the road were shocked.

Fang Shiqing was also a little surprised.In broad daylight, this young man named "Xiao Fengdi" was much more conspicuous and pleasing to the eye than in the middle of the night.He is tall, good-looking, and has a special temperament; even standing in a crowd, he is the one who stands out from the crowd.From the fact that the eyes of Zeng Xin who was walking in front suddenly lit up, it can be seen that at least in the eyes of the opposite sex, he is definitely the one that is pleasing to the eye.And this undoubtedly made players of the same sex a little more subtle hostility.

When everyone arrived, he didn't say anything, but just brought a few people into the library.After bypassing the hall full of bookshelves and the reading room, the rear seems to be a lounge exclusively for administrators. At this time, a long table and seven chairs have been placed, creating the appearance of a small conference room.

Now that they have all come, the few people didn't gossip anymore, and each chose a seat to sit down.

Xiao Fengdi looked around, knocked on the table with one hand, and said unhurriedly: "Then, let me formally introduce myself——I am the guide player of this game, and my name is Xiao Fengdi."

"What is 'guiding the player'?"

"Xiao Fengdi...why does this name sound familiar?"

Zhao Jun and He Xiangwu asked at the same time.Then the latter seemed to suddenly realize: "Oh, I remembered! It's from an ancient prose that high school must memorize, "Guo Qin Lun", right! Selling Feng Di Zhu thought that the golden man would be weaker than the twelve..."

Zhao Jun next to him desperately stabbed him with his elbow.

Xiao Fengdi gave him a cold look: "You are good at Chinese in high school."

This ridicule sounded flimsy, but it still made He Xiangwu's face turn red all of a sudden.

"Don't pay attention to him. What does 'guide the player' mean? It sounds like you can answer our questions about this game." You Qingyu avoided the gossip a little impatiently, and brought the topic back to the right track. .

Xiao Fengdi glanced at He Xiangwu who was blushing, and replied calmly: "In a sense, that's right. The so-called 'guide the player' is responsible for explaining the relevant rules and background at the beginning of the game."

"Then please explain to us, what exactly is this game, and who is behind it?"

This is a topic that everyone cares about, everyone shut their mouths temporarily, staring at Xiao Fengdi, waiting for his response.

Unexpectedly, he just shook his head slowly.

"Sorry. Even if it's a 'guide player', I'm just the same player as you. The only difference is that I actively joined, and you were passively drawn in. I only entered the game about half a day earlier than you. I don’t know anything about the nature of this game. At present, I can only tell you that everything said in the announcement is true.”

"You mean, we have to do as stated in the announcement... we have to complete the task of earning 200 million before we can leave?"

"Correct."

"But, what's the point of this kind of thing, this 'game'?" He Xiangwu, who was skeptical of everything from the beginning, shouted again, his face full of resentment.

Zhao Jun asked: "You said you 'voluntarily joined'? Did you know about this before you were pulled into the game?"

"Well, I know a little bit."

The room suddenly fell silent.Everyone stared at him holding their breath, only Xiao Fengdi's voice echoed.

"I believe you have all guessed it," he said calmly, "In reality, I am engaged in industries related to exorcising evil spirits and eliminating spirits. There are many news that ordinary people have never heard of in our industry, but Related content about this 'game' is also one of them."

"This system has been in existence for more than 30 years. No one knows its background and significance, only that every once in a while a few people will be involved in it, either voluntarily or forced to participate in its pre-set 'game' ', if you don't complete the predetermined mission, you can't escape.

"As for the content of the game, others don't know, because all the people who escaped successfully kept secret about their game experience, which seemed to cast a deep shadow—"

Hearing this, Zeng Xin suddenly thought of something: "Wait, may I ask. Is there any danger in this game? If, if we fail to get out of this game... If we die in this game In the game..."

"Of course this game is dangerous." Xiao Fengdi glanced at Fang Shiqing, "Didn't you hear what he said? He must have seen it last night, and there will be zombies after nightfall. Those zombies are real things, and they can eat them." A monster of flesh and blood. Once caught, it will probably be torn to pieces and eaten immediately."

"As for the results after death... According to our previous investigations in the industry, the souls of people who died in the game will be directly received by the game system. And the real body—"

"Probably will become a vegetable." He said lightly.

"what?"

Not only Zeng Xinru was struck by lightning, everyone was frightened.Fang Shiqing twisted uneasily on the chair, Gu Jinhong next to him accidentally knocked over the decorative vase on the table, and He Xiangwu stood up abruptly.

"What, what did you say?" His whole face was trembling, "We... in reality, also... die?"

The so-called "vegetative state" is the state of losing all consciousness and any autonomy.At that time, a person will lose even the ability to eat and excrete on his own.

"However, the players who successfully escaped also gained extraordinary benefits from this game." Xiao Fengdi seemed to have guessed their reaction long ago, but continued calmly, "For these benefits, we in the industry want to There are always quite a few people who want to take the initiative to sign up for this game, so the number of places to enter is very precious. It even needs to go through a series of complicated procedures through a few semi-retired seniors in our industry..."

"Even if you signed up, we haven't signed up for any games!" You Qingyu interrupted.After hearing so much from the other party, no matter how calm she has been, she now has a gloomy expression on her face, "This is a game that may lead to death... How can this so-called system just randomly invite people to participate!"

"No, not exactly 'casual'—"

Having said this, Xiao Fengdi suddenly curled the corners of his lips and smiled faintly.

"This system has its own set of principles for attracting people, and the people it selects are not really 'unrelated'."

"But, before entering this game world, we really didn't do anything." You Qingyu looked around and continued, "I just took a nap on the bus, and I was here when I opened my eyes. "

"Me too," Zhao Jun said, with a trembling voice, "I was still on the bed at home before I fell asleep. Everyone should be like this, right?"

Others, including Fang Shiqing, nodded in agreement.

"No. Being 'selected' by it is not because of what you have done, but because of what you 'desire' for." The smile on the corner of Xiao Fengdi's mouth became more obvious, "As I said, those who escaped successfully come from You have obtained unimaginable benefits in this game. This benefit is very straightforward and simple, and it is also what you most desire and are eager to get before you are selected."

He did say it just now, but in the face of such a predicament that may lead to life-threatening, who is in the mood to give priority to the benefits?

"What you want? No matter what it is, it can't be more important than life!" He Xiangwu roared, with several veins popping up on his neck, "I don't want anything, I don't want to participate in this stupid game!"

"I, I want to go home..." Zeng Xin sobbed, "I'm already on the train home, why did I come to this kind of place all of a sudden, my parents must have cooked meals and are waiting for me at home... ..."

"Don't cry yet," You Qingyu bit her lip and said, "That's just a possible consequence, and we don't necessarily die in the game. Don't those zombies know how to open the door? As long as we go back indoors at night -"

"But who knows if there will be any other dangers in the future?"

"Well, that's right."

Xiao Fengdi took out a book from the props rack, shook it in front of everyone, and put it on the table.On the cover of that book, there are several large characters of "Guiding Players Manual", which is obviously the same system prop as Fang Shiqing's management manual.

"It's written in the manual," he said, "that the game world we've come to has the following characteristics: it's very calm and normal during the day, but various monsters will appear at night, and the level of the monsters will change with the player's level. They gradually become stronger with the completion of their tasks. During the game, special high-level monsters will appear in the town from time to time, with powerful power. The specific monsters are not mentioned above, but there is no doubt that these monsters will definitely The player hunted."

As soon as he said this, Zeng Xin burst into tears, as if the end of death was imminent.

In the chaotic situation, Fang Shiqing became the calmest one.Probably because he had been in close contact with zombies last night, or maybe because he didn't have much nostalgia for the real world, but he didn't feel much.

He looked at Xiao Fengdi and found that the other party was still indifferent, so he couldn't help asking softly: "Boss, what exactly are the 'benefits' you are talking about?"

As if waiting for this question, Xiao Fengdi immediately stood up and knocked on the table again to get everyone's attention.

"It's very simple," he said a little louder, "It's also based on the records in this manual—at the end of the game, the 200 million earned by the players will be converted into real currency, and the average points will be given to all but me. All other surviving players."

"... What kind of benefit is this, and why is it worth exchanging your life for it?"

200 million, if it is distributed to six people on average, each person can only get a little more than 33. 30——For modern urbanites, this is really not a big number.

Xiao Fengdi shook his head slightly.

"These game coins will be converted into real currency, but as for which currency in reality to convert into, it is... decided by all survivors after discussion. It does not have to be converted into the currency issued by the country."

"That's still not a big deal. Even if it's converted into pounds, it's tens of millions at most. You can't even afford a flat in the city in the capital. It's not worth it at all—"

In the middle of speaking, Zhao Jun suddenly stopped.His eyes straightened slightly, as if thinking of some possibility.

"Wait, if you can specify the currency at will..."

He stood up too, his voice trembling, propping himself up with his hands on the table.

"What about Bitcoin? Can Bitcoin be exchanged?"

"...Bitcoin?" Fang Shiqing was at a loss, "What is that?"

"It should be a virtual currency."

Bitcoin is an emerging virtual digital currency that is generated by codes in the network and does not have an entity, but it can be traded on the network and can be exchanged into most real currencies in circulation in proportion.

You Qingyu wondered, "But that thing... shouldn't be considered real currency, right? From an economic point of view..."

"I don't know economics, but—"

Xiao Feng flicked open the pages of the book, and showed a certain page of the "Guiding Players Handbook" to several people.This page densely lists the types of currencies that can be exchanged, and the words "Bitcoin" are impressively listed.

"This thing can indeed be exchanged. That is to say, if you successfully complete the game mission, each of you can get no less than 33 bitcoins when you return to reality."

Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, and You Qingyu was no exception.Even Zeng Xin's crying became softer.

"This..." He Xiangwu looked left and right, and asked in a low voice, "I know Bitcoin is very valuable...but how valuable is it?"

"Just the day before we came here," Zhao Jun's voice sounded like he was dreaming, "the ratio between Bitcoin and our country's currency is about [-]:[-], that is to say..."

Everyone nervously calculated the multiplication in their hearts at the same time, and then they all froze without exception.

"Now……"

Xiao Fengdi walked slowly along the edge of the table.He walked behind several people and finally reached the door of the lounge.

"Do you think this game is worth participating in?"
