Master Swindler

According to this logic, Lu Qingjia couldn't even be sure for the time being, how many times he had experienced the situation of ignorance after waking up like this.

He adjusted his condition and left the room, and came to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast.

This hotel has a high grade and a good environment. Lu Qingjia will never treat herself badly when it is not necessary.

Breakfast is a buffet breakfast, combining Chinese and Western ingredients, with fresh ingredients, and the smell of the aroma is also exciting.

Lu Qingjia picked something he liked, found a seat by the window, and enjoyed it while looking at the surrounding environment.

It turns out that there are very few people here.

Not just inside the hotel, but also on the streets outside.

Apart from Lu Qingjia who was eating, there was only one staff member sitting at the bar busy in the big restaurant. It was already past eight o'clock in the morning, and it stands to reason that it was the peak time for breakfast.

This hotel is located in a bustling area in the city center, so it is impossible to be so deserted.

And looking out of the window, there is no rush of traffic in the morning rush hour at all, and the office workers seem to be in a hurry. Occasionally, I see a few people acting strangely.

Such a bustling city actually looks like an empty city.

However, all the facilities in the city were operating without any hindrance. Lu Qingjia went out after breakfast, no matter what he did, it was convenient and unimpeded, but there was a lack of people.

Except for some necessary manual service positions, there are almost no people to see.

Looking around, Lu Qingjia didn't find anything with clues, so he didn't expand the scope of the search.

He believed in himself, if he really expected in advance that he would forget everything when he woke up the next day, then he would definitely correct and maximize his understanding of the current situation where he could understand.

There is nothing to gain around, so my previous judgment is undoubtedly that there is not much value here.

Lu Qingjia took out the ticket in his pocket again, and found that there was still half an hour left before the departure time.

It stands to reason that the train failed to reach this city, but he appeared here. Logically, it seemed that he had passed a checkpoint. Few people would give up the existing terrain and turn back to the original point.

But Lu Qingjia was thinking about where are the other players besides him?

Before entering the advanced dungeon, the possibility of the dungeon serving a single player is almost zero. Lu Qingjia felt that the loss might be fatal as he stayed in this empty city with no hints or clues, wasting time aimlessly.

He couldn't produce any evidence, but sitting here with nothing to do would make him feel a sense of urgency, indicating that intuition and experience had already realized the urgency of the situation.

Lu Qingjia summoned any door, if he had made the same judgment yesterday, he would have prepared as he thought.

Of course, this can also further confirm whether it is really not the first time he wakes up from the game world.

Lu Qingjia found the map and determined the departure station of the train. If it was him, when he noticed something was wrong, he would definitely leave the coordinates on the spot.

Although now I have lost the memory of the departure of the train and cannot accurately locate it, but with this level of range and the coordinates already there, it should be no problem.

Lu Qingjia printed the coordinates and directions on the map in his mind, opened any door, and stepped out.

The next second, he appeared in a toilet cubicle.

When he came out of the toilet, he saw the station hall where people were coming and going. The stop signs in the hall showed that it was the starting station on his ticket.

Then it is confirmed that he did come to the station as a passenger yesterday and boarded the train, everything is his personal experience.

At this time, another train was about to leave, and the frequency and time were the same as the one he took yesterday. For this kind of train with fixed frequency and time between two cities, if there were no accidents, the departure time would be about the same every day.

Lu Qingjia quickly looked at her ticket again, and sure enough, there was only the year and month on it, but no date.The entrance gate is still manually checked.

That is to say, if his ticket has no trace of ticket inspection, he can undoubtedly sneak into the train.

At this time, there are still [-] minutes before the departure of the train, and it seems that there are only a few minutes before the ticket inspection can start.

Many people have already started queuing.

Lu Qingjia narrowed her eyes and suddenly had a bold idea.

In an instant, a mini grenade the size of a lighter appeared in his hand. It was bought at the Infinity Mall. It was not very lethal, but the reaction was not small.

It can cause a very strong sound and shock, and it is very effective for deterring. Because Lu Qingjia has enough points, he bought a lot of useful and useless things.

He flicked the mini grenade, and there was a shock in the hall accompanied by a loud noise, and even smoke filled the hall for a while.

And a large number of seemingly ordinary passengers who were hurriedly preparing to board in the lobby reacted swiftly without exception.

Many people even jumped up to the ceiling of the station hall, which was more than ten meters high, which is simply not a height that human beings can reach.

Even those who are unresponsive can accurately avoid the source of the earthquake and hide behind the bunker, and many of them have various protective shields or protective abilities on their bodies.

This proved Lu Qingjia's guess that the proportion of players in the station was almost half.

However, before he made the test, he couldn't sense it at all. Not only did he lose the player's sense, but his attention was also deviated.

For example, for a person with different characteristics from the past, subconsciously ignore the past.

Ordinary players might not be able to notice this, but Lu Qingjia also possesses spiritual abilities and is a detail controler, so this sense of disobedience became more conspicuous and made him suspicious.

After the shock passed, those who responded to the explosion at the station found that it was just a false alarm and looked at each other.

The peaceful and ordinary aura that he had pretended to be before became wary of the people around him.

According to visual inspection, there are at least 300 people in the waiting hall, and more than half of them have just responded to the riots. If you add some powerful people who are better at disguising, or have accurate predictions about the situation and behave calmly, then the number of players will reach [-] It is not impossible.

A mid-level instance, is this possible number of players?

Lu Qingjia immediately thought of what Yang Qian told him a few days ago about the disappearance of intermediate players.

In fact, when he heard the news from Yang Qian, he was not without curiosity, and with Ouyang Bai's blessing, his wish might come true.

But these players are the ones who are missing?Did they fail in their mission, or did they stay here for other reasons?

In short, the waiting hall is tense this time, so it is not suitable to ponder these things.

Lu Qingjia came to the waiting gate of the train he was on. At this time, the announcement in the station announced that the train of this train would start ticket checking, and the passengers of this train sitting around were almost lined up.

If it was a player with the same game as him, then he must have boarded the same train with him yesterday.

Lu Qingjia successfully reached the finish line, but there was no sign of the others. Combined with so many people stranded at the station, it is not impossible that they have fallen into a lower level of reincarnation than himself.

So a billboard and an oil-based pen appeared in Lu Qingjia's hand, and he wrote two lines on it with two brushes.

Then I came to the staff at the ticket gate just before the ticket check, and said with a shy smile, "Sorry, I lost some valuables, can you lend me a minute?"

The staff was stunned, and before they could react, Lu Qingjia held up a sign and faced the passengers at the ticket gate.

There is a missing item notice written on it, indicating that I lost a Patek Philippe watch at the station XX at X hour X minute X second on X month X day 20XX, please recall if you saw the watch at that time Or suspicious-looking characters.

There are not many words written on the entire bulletin board, and it looks logically chaotic, but the most striking thing on it is the time accurate to the second.

There were three or forty people queuing at this ticket gate. With Lu Qingjia's mental strength and eyesight, he immediately saw that the eyes of a few of them reacted to the time, and then looked at him in astonishment.

Lu Qingjia nodded, and then several people raised their hands: "Speaking of which, I did come from there, and I seem to have a little impression."

Then he came out of the team logically and got together with Lu Qingjia.

Lu Qingjia made a thank-you note on his face, but when he got together with several people, he pulled out two passengers who ignored him from the line.

When the other party wanted to resist and struggle, he whispered: "Shut up, if you don't want to take another train that can't reach the end, follow me."

The two were horrified by Lu Qingjia's words on the one hand, and on the other hand, they couldn't break free from the other party's control. The other party lightly suppressed the two intermediate players, showing that their strength was far superior to their own.

The situation was stronger than others, so he had no choice but to leave with Lu Qingjia.

As for the rest of the people at the station, whether they have reacted or not, of course they are also alert, and it can be seen at once that this is a team of players who are anxious for their companions.

Under the premise that the rules erase the player's sense, and there are so many players on the scene, some people speculated at the beginning that this is a super-difficult chaos.

But in any case, the number of people close to 200 is a bit exaggerated, and the time reported by Lu Qingjia made some players who were not so slow realize that the players here might not be from the same batch.

The evidence is the time it took Lu Qingjia to identify his companions. If there is any way to instantly integrate himself with the same batch of players under the current situation, it must be the time to enter in reality.

However, everyone present had entered earlier than that time, and a few people had already realized that something went wrong.

So after Lu Qingjia and his party left, three more players in the team who saw this situation resolutely gave up the mission and left the ranks to catch up with Lu Qingjia's team.

"Brother, I seem to have seen it just now."

Lu Qingjia did not refuse, and the group left the waiting hall and entered a nearby Starbucks.

Just like the previous city, except for the necessary human services, there are no people around.

However, there are still passengers rushing to the station. Although it cannot be compared with the real train station, if you are near the station, it is indeed difficult to find that the world is extraordinarily empty.

The two players who were pulled out by Lu Qingjia were a little anxious: "Why are you pulling us? The game stipulates that you must arrive at City A at 1000 pm to pick up the next stage of the task. This is more than [-] kilometers away from City A. Today, there is only this one shift." If the car in City A misses our entire group, it will be over."

But other people who voluntarily followed Lu Qingjia didn't think so: "You have also seen the situation just now. Most of the stations are full of players, and there are probably still people rushing in now."

"I've never seen such a scene before. Is there something special about this dungeon?" He said and looked at Lu Qingjia.

Lu Qingjia said: "If it refers to the task of City A, I have already completed it."

Although he doesn't have any memories now, there is no doubt that Lu Qingjia has already completed the tasks that the same batch of players are still stuck in this stage, otherwise they would not have appeared in City A.

So now it can be confirmed that even players in the same batch will receive different information when they have completed different progress.

For example, the other five people failed to reach City A after the bullet train broke down yesterday, then the small task will automatically fail, and they will go back to the save point and continue the cycle.

But it stands to reason that Lu Qingjia has completed the task of the previous stage, so he should be prompted for the task of the next stage.

But nothing happened.

So if you boldly imagine the entire dungeon as the missing dungeon that Yang Qian told him before, this is a place where traps are particularly easy to set up.

For example, if you want to use the last mission to split the player, but the trigger condition of the next mission requires all players to gather together, otherwise it will not be triggered, then if other players are always trapped in the previous round, Lu Qingjia will wait in city A until the next round. Death will not trigger new missions.

However, it is difficult for ordinary people to give up the advantages they have already grasped, especially if there is still a competitive relationship between players and players before. Even if they find that the players in the same batch as themselves may still be stuck in place, the reaction of most people should be happy to see the success and keep themselves in the lead state.

In this way, you will completely fall into the trap of the rules.

Sure enough, when everyone was surprised by Lu Qingjia's statement, some questioned whether he was telling the truth, and some speculated whether he had the advanced ability of long-distance transmission, and at the same time that he did not need to go back and forth by means of transportation, the task order was issued.

[Congratulations to the players in group XX who passed the interview and obtained the internship opportunity. Please arrive at the internship location before 10:30 this morning, otherwise the internship qualification will be cancelled. 】

Then everyone received an address in their minds, and of course this was limited to the players in Lu Qingjia's group.

At this time, no one doubted that Lu Qingjia had already passed the mission, but it was incredible that the mission had only been released for less than an hour.

Those two who were wary at the beginning even cautiously flattered their faces: "Brother Lu, why did you go back and forth in such a short time?"

Everyone's curiosity is not without reason.

Generally speaking, although intermediate players already possess various abilities, it is still rare for them to ignore the physical distance of thousands of kilometers.

Like Lu Qingjia's arbitrary door, it is already a correspondingly powerful ability, and it is one of the bottom-line abilities of the player who made a deal with it at the beginning, otherwise there is no way to get the qualification to enter the high stage from Lu Qingjia.

But Rao has such an ability, and there are restrictions on its use. For example, he must mark the coordinates of the two places, and he has a certain understanding of distance and space.

That's why Lu Qingjia bet that he had noticed the clues yesterday and made corresponding preparations - of course, he also has a good habit of marking coordinates in important places in other dungeons.

Another ability to quickly shorten the distance is teleportation. Lu Qingjia does not have this ability, but he also knows that even for intermediate-level players, it is impossible to move to a place that is too far away from his body, and there is a high probability that there will be a cooldown time. In addition, new players have no cognitive concept of the so-called city A, so it is almost impossible to teleport there in one go.

If you continue to activate teleportation, you can quickly shorten the distance within the line of sight, so as to reach the destination quickly.

To put it bluntly, it is not as efficient as Lu Qingjia's super speed of launching the bullet.

So everyone was amazed at Lu Qingjia's ability to move far beyond ordinary people, and the power of similar abilities.

Lu Qingjia looked at the time: "It's still early until 10:30, and the place is half an hour away from us. If you haven't eaten, you can have a meal first."

Then he said to the three players who came out: "It seems that if you don't belong to the same group, there is no way to form a team at present."

"I don't know what your task is now, but as a friendly reminder, it's best to find everyone in your team first. There is no way for the train to reach the end, but at this distance, your team must have the ability of at least one person who can barely meet the stipulated time. The time has come."

"But make sure that the other party will come back after arriving in City A, otherwise your group will still be divided and the mission will not be able to proceed."

It's all said and done, depending on the player's ability, there should be a way to guarantee the progress of Lu Qingjia and the others from tomorrow to now.

The three players were a little disappointed that they couldn't get a ride directly, but they all pointed out this, and they still expressed their gratitude.

He also reminded: "By the way, I don't know if your group is like this. When we entered the game, we were told that the players are divided into two groups, which is very likely to be a competitive relationship."

As soon as these words came out, the players behind Lu Qingjia tensed up.

Lu Qingjia nodded, "I guessed it, but I think, at least so far, this hint is a trap."

As soon as the words were finished, there was a commotion in the waiting hall. Some ordinary passengers ran out in panic, and asked if someone had found a dead body in the bathroom.

Lu Qingjia showed a sarcastic smile: "Look, in the team of dead people, even if someone in the team has completed the task and can't trigger a new task when they come back, then the whole team will fall into reincarnation until it dies."

How sinister is the intention.

At first Lu Qingjia was not so sure, but this reminder made him sure.

In this so-called dungeon, the important thing is never the task, at least so far, the content of the task is really irrelevant, on the contrary, everything serves to prevent the player from passing the level.

Of course, the same is true for other dungeons, there is no difficulty in doing the task.But it is obviously different here, there is malice everywhere to play with people's hearts and deliberately obstruct, instead of focusing on improving players.

So Lu Qingjia said frankly: "Don't worry, even if you listen to the tips of the rules and act first to kill the so-called 'opposing' players to earn points, they will be cleared the next day."

"Correspondingly, the killed player will still be resurrected after refreshing, instead of confirming death and leaving the game."

"A certain existence in this dungeon is reluctant to let any player go."

Several people were confused, but one of them was well-informed and had some guesses.

He tentatively asked: "The legendary disappearance of the player? After entering the game, it disappears. No one is alive or dead?"

"You mean this is the copy?"

Lu Qingjia nodded: "[-]%?"

Then the player popularized the latest rumors to everyone. Even though they were all experienced players who had cleared customs, they couldn't help but feel uneasy about this dungeon that never came back.

After all, before Lu Qingjia came back, they didn't even know that this wasn't the first time they had taken the bullet train.

Then someone said with hope: "Even if we are trapped in reincarnation, or pass this level by chance, and fall into the next trap and cannot pass the level, but according to the rules of the game, no matter how long we stay in the dungeon, as long as the dungeon breaks, You can always return to reality, right?"

"Why didn't the player return to reality after two seconds? Even if it was a corpse? Why did it disappear?"

Lu Qingjia raised his chin at the ticket gate: "I think it should be that reason."

The ticket office of this station is at the entrance, and there are three windows for simultaneous service.

But you don't need cash or mobile phone to buy tickets, and you don't need to swipe your card, but use your fingerprint directly.

Several players, who seemed at a loss, bought tickets under the guidance of the conductor.

But after everyone buys a ticket, the machine will broadcast——

"Remaining number of ticket purchases: 6 times."

"Remaining number of ticket purchases: 4 times."

"Remaining number of ticket purchases: 5 times."

"Remaining number of ticket purchases: 2 times."

Lu Qingjia said: "I should have noticed this yesterday. I chose passengers with zero remaining ticket purchases, followed them, entered the same carriage with them, talked with them, and confirmed their player identities. When the breakdown train stopped, check what happened."

That's why I deliberately left traces of myself in a mess, and ensured that I couldn't get any information from the surrounding environment, so I drove myself back to the station, joined the same group of players, and then I was able to carry out the next task.

"You, how do you know?" A player asked cautiously: "You have recovered your memory? But we haven't."

Lu Qingjia shook her head: "Not yet."

Then he smiled and said, "But don't you think this situation is too much to be concerned about?"

If it is him who cares, it is absolutely impossible to let it go.

And about the fact that he can still keep his own traces after waking up in City A, if returning to the save point only clears the memory, not the traces on the players, then it is impossible that so many players are still trapped in this round Too late to proceed to the next step.

After all, if you can go to the middle-level field, there are very few people without brains, and it is possible to miss other details, but the changes in your body are related to your wealth and life, so you will definitely be vigilant.

So when it is cleared, it should be restored to a certain node together with the traces on the body.

But yesterday, I managed to leave so many clues. If I can get a reward to keep the traces in the next round, then sealing the memory will become superfluous.

So Lu Qingjia guessed that, in fact, this dungeon is intended to completely make all players unaware, but even horror games must abide by the rules, and cannot give players a dead end that cannot be cracked within the scope of their abilities.

Then it must be the same here, it's not that it doesn't want to, it's that it can't.

It must set a node, and yesterday's self probably grasped the key, so it was preserved.

Like - before entering the so-called interview office.

After getting this guess, a prompt sounded in Lu Qingjia's mind [unlock key clues, unlock memory. 】

Then there was an extra memory in Lu Qingjia's mind, about yesterday.

Just as he guessed, he noticed the remaining number of tickets purchased by each passenger at the time, and was curious about what would happen after the remaining number of tickets was cleared.

So he followed the two passengers whose counts had been reset, chatted with them along the way, and quickly confirmed that they were players.

With Lu Qingjia's strong emotional intelligence, it is very easy to establish a good relationship with others. After that, the two parties exchanged phone numbers and V signals and kept in touch.

After waiting for an hour for the bullet train to leave, there was a railway failure. At the beginning, the broadcast said that the departure would be possible in half an hour.

However, half an hour later the time was extended to an hour.

It's a bit of a delay.

Lu Qingjia resolutely jumped off the high-speed train, ran to city A at full speed, and completed the task.

Before entering the interview office, that is, when there were 10 minutes left in the task time, Lu Qingjia made a video call to the two cleared players.

Seeing the reaction of the two of them with my own eyes, the player was incredulous about the player's ability at the beginning, then turned into a daze, and then made a fuss about the fact that he was already in City A.

It seems that he has completely forgotten his identity as a player and has become an ordinary person.

At the same time, Lu Qingjia was reminded by the company's employees to pay attention to his appearance, otherwise he might give the interviewer a bad impression and make the next work process difficult.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Qingjia seemed to understand what the number of ticket purchases represented, and why players disappeared in the game.

The players on the train didn't make any reminders, but there were still people who got on the train many times in a row without realizing it, but someone on their side could remind them.

Perhaps after he successfully came to City A, besides being able to continue the next task, the greatest significance lies in this.

So Lu Qingjia stood up and smiled at the staff: "Thank you for the reminder, but I think my current embarrassment is a medal for working hard on this job."

"Just go to the interview."

After speaking, I saw the twisted expression of the staff member with a sweet smile.
