A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

The next morning, Fang Shiqing set off to gather next to the bulletin board.

He arrived a little early today, and the whole square was still empty, only a few NPC uncles and aunts walking by slowly passing by.Gu Jinhong was the only person standing in front of the bulletin board, carefully examining the content of the bulletin behind the glass panel; since he lived around the square, it was not surprising that he arrived the earliest.

Seeing Fang Shiqing, he nodded towards this side and said early: "The content of the announcement has been updated again."

Fang Shiqing said in his heart that the good morning content was too exciting, and at the same time hurried over to check it out.

There is a conspicuous banner right above the bulletin board, with the words "1,998,930/2,000,000" written on it. It is clear at a glance that it is a statistic of the players' mission completion.

The information on the announcement has also changed a lot; this time there are so many updates that the entire announcement paper is one size smaller.

The newly added content is as follows:

“[Fengyue Town - Inner World] (Horror/Escape/Puzzle Mode) is officially open, thank you for your participation and support for this game! Every day after nightfall, the door of the Inner World will be open to you, providing a completely different coolness from the daytime Fun novel experience.

Note: Non-human creatures wandering on the map may cause some damage to you.When the health value drops to zero, the system will forcibly end your game journey and give you a certain failure penalty.Please pay attention to your own strength and health when you contact the inner world.

In order to ensure the fun of the game, the monsters released by the system will increase in strength as the strategy progresses.Another: At a specific time, when a player triggers a specific condition, there is a chance to open the corresponding entrance of [Inner World-Dungeon], and activate a powerful BOSS-level special creature. All players need to enter the interior together, work together to fight against it, and destroy it .The dungeon in the other world has extremely high income, and the risk factor is also extremely high. Please act cautiously and challenge carefully.

I wish you a happy game! "

In addition, the content above has also changed a little.After the original task of 200 million yuan, there was an extra note of "net income"; and the original sentence "after returning to the real world, the system will issue corresponding rewards to you" was directly replaced with "after returning to the real world, 200 [-] game coins will be converted into real currency according to the specified ratio, and evenly distributed to qualified surviving players."

"'Net income'? That is to say..." Will the part that players earn and spend again not be included in the task value?

"It seems so," Gu Jinhong said, "after a while, everyone will be able to confirm the income after checking."

Fang Shiqing nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the two stood side by side next to the bulletin board for a while, neither of them speaking.

Fang Shiqing is not the kind of person who is good at finding topics and stirring up the atmosphere. In addition, Gu Jinhong doesn't seem to like talking very much. He didn't know what to say for a while, which made the atmosphere a bit awkward.

When he was at a loss, the other party suddenly asked, "What do you think of this game?"

"……what?"

Gu Jinhong tapped on the bulletin board and said softly, "Do you think it's worth it to bet your life for a huge sum of money?"

"Uh..." Fang Shiqing said, "I didn't think too much about it. Regardless of whether it's worth it or not, the game is right in front of you, let's play it first and then talk..."

The other party opened his eyes slightly, and said, "Your mentality is really good. However, not everyone... No, most people can't be like you."

Fang Shiqing didn't know what the other party meant, so he tried his best to smile: "This... just wait until everyone gets used to it. It's too sudden, everyone may not be able to react—"

"However, after the reaction, maybe things will change."

Gu Jinhong also raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiling meaningfully.

"You know, 800 billion is a lot, but [-] billion is more." He said, "People's desires have no bottom. Instead of sharing the [-] billion with six people, it is better to monopolize it--I I'm afraid someone will think so."

According to the conversion ratio of one bitcoin to 4 yuan in common currency, 200 million game coins can be exchanged for [-] billion.

"What...you mean..."

Fang Shiqing opened his mouth blankly.Before he brought it up, Fang Shiqing had never made such an assumption at all, and he hadn't even thought about it.

"You mean, someone will deal with other players in order to get more money? This is impossible, right? Well, who wants so much money for what?"

120 billion is too much to spend in a few lifetimes, right?What is the difference between unspendable money and pure numbers?Would there really be someone in this kind of place who would seek money and die in order to get more numbers that are not needed at all?

"No, we are all ordinary people, I don't think they would commit murder. But..."

The other party's originally melancholy eyebrows drooped down, matching his feminine appearance, he even looked a little pitiful for a while, but his eyes were very calm.

"You've seen it too, today's updated bulletin mentions [Dungeon]." He pointed to the bulletin again.Everyone's announcements are separate, but in general the content of the updates should be similar.

"It says that there will be powerful monsters in the dungeon, and all players need to deal with them together. Do you understand what this means?" After a pause, he continued, "Even if you don't usually have the intention of doing harm yourself , in dungeons, when someone else encounters an accident, as long as you push a little bit, or just sit on the sidelines, you can get a lot of money for nothing... The threshold for this kind of behavior is much lower than actively harming others. Of course, I don’t I will do this, but for my own safety, I must at least find a few reliable companions, do you understand?"

Speaking of this, Fang Shiqing probably understood what the other party meant.To put it simply - this is a subtle signal to form a team.

But he vaguely felt something was wrong.There are only seven players who enter the game. If a small team is formed among the seven, isn't it the same as falling apart?He is not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, but just by thinking about his previous experience with dungeons with groups, he can understand why the solo players in the wild team hate being with relatives and friends, isn't it because small groups bully solos?Once this kind of thing starts, it will definitely become the source of contradictions.

So he evaded the important point and said lightly: "Why don't you ask Boss Xiao? It's Xiao Fengdi who guides the player. Isn't he not getting any money in the first place? He will definitely not cheat people."

Hearing this, Gu Jinhong smiled and said nothing else.It could be seen that he didn't seem to trust that Xiao Fengdi either.

After a while, people came one after another.Zhao Jun, who was so excited yesterday that he couldn't sit still, seemed to have calmed down enough and returned to his previous gentle appearance; Zeng Xin's eyes were red and swollen, as if she had been crying all night, but now she looked calm.

The one who changed the most was He Xiangwu.He was the last one to come, his whole body was hunched over, his face was livid, his eyes were dark, and he still trembled from time to time.He sat down on the bench, stared at Fang Shiqing for a long time, and said dejectedly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't question you yesterday...I, I saw it too."

"Ah?" His strange behavior caught everyone's attention, and Fang Shiqing asked on behalf of everyone, "You also saw...that zombie? When? Where is it?"

"No, it's not a zombie," He Xiangwu trembled again, "It's a ghost...it's a kid!"

He narrated his tragic experience intermittently.

He Xiangwu's identity in the game is a young blacksmith who lives alone in a hut in the north of the town.Because there is an iron smelting furnace in his house, which emits exhaust gas from time to time, it is a little distance from other houses in the town, and it also has a small courtyard with a single family.

After going back yesterday, he has been tossing and turning in the room behind closed doors.After being bored for an unknown amount of time, he wanted to go out to get some air because he felt uncomfortable; only when he opened the door did he realize that the sun had already set.

He immediately wanted to close the door, but found four strange children standing side by side in his yard.

These four children are all as delicate as dummies, their skin is almost transparent, they have the same hairstyle, and they are wearing thick white robes that hang down to the ground. They stand together hand in hand, and the four pairs of eyes look at him without blinking. .The child on the far left is holding a head-sized ball in his hand, and water is dripping down from it.

At first he thought it was a child of an NPC resident in the town, but after seeing the ball, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Kids playing with a ball... It's like something out of a classic horror story.

At this time, the child in the middle suddenly said: "Big Brother, come and play with us. Come play football with us?"

The child's voice was gloomy and ethereal, he didn't dare to look any further, and hurriedly closed the door.At the moment when the door was closed, a huge force slammed into it from the other side, shaking the whole house trembling three times.

He took a few steps back, immediately locked the doors and windows, drew the curtains, ran back to the bed and covered his head.The sound of banging on the door never stopped, getting louder and louder each time; the laughter of children came from outside, louder and louder after another.

After an unknown period of time, the outside finally calmed down a little.He finally mustered up the courage, went to the window and opened the shutters to peep out secretly. Under the moonlight, there were countless bloodstains in the courtyard, but there was no one there.It seems that those little ghosts have had enough running.

However, at this moment, a child's head suddenly poked down from above, and smiled faintly at him through the window——

"Then I..." He Xiangwu was confused for a moment, and he didn't know whether he meant "scared out" or "scared", "I didn't go out until the sun was completely up, and found the door It's full of black and red blood marks, as if it was hit by a round object..."

Fang Shiqing patted him on the shoulder sympathetically: "Don't be afraid, just get used to it. Yesterday, a female ghost scared me through the window. I was so scared that I tore off the entire curtain, and had to stare at the bare glass all night. Ghost shadows outside."

He Xiangwu was about to cry: "Then you, can you really sleep?!"

"So, it's fine if you get used to it... And, uh, it's just a game anyway. Just think that I'm playing an escape game, and I'm a little excited when I think about it." Fang Shiqing comforted.

"Everyone should encounter this kind of thing in the future," Xiao Fengdi said after reading the announcement, "Even if you don't encounter it for the time being, you will definitely be forced to face it after you open the [Dungeon] later, so you should get used to it as soon as possible." Give it a go. It’s not a bad thing to get used to it early.”

After hearing He Xiangwu's experience, the faces of others were also not very good-looking.You Qingyu smiled wryly: "A habit?... Before that, won't we really be scared crazy?"

She remained calm for the time being, but she was obviously much more pessimistic than the previous two days.

"Even so, we have to try our best to save ourselves before we get scared crazy." Xiao Fengdi knocked on the banner above the bulletin board, "So, let's talk about the task first. Yesterday we earned a total of 1070 yuan, everyone How about your income?"
