Forces of Temptation

During the short break at the dessert shop on the street, "Cubic Ark" quickly completed the homework they missed these days based on the lively exchanges in real time on the World Channel.

In short, the base station in front of us is a construction activity initiated by the three main official rescue teams of "gilt", "bronze" and "meteorite".

They have sufficient basis for building base stations.

——Those who did not enter "Gravity", the relatives and friends of these missing persons, have been searching for them with all their strength.

They can't do nothing.

Therefore, they want to build a device that can send signals to the outside, and find a way to realize the joint linkage between the inside and the outside, and physically break through the current predicament.

Because these three teams have been working hard to rescue other ordinary people in the dungeon before, even if they don't pursue a high degree of completion in the dungeon, these rescue teams have won a lot of points with quantity, which is enough for them to rent the right to use a piece of land .

Coupled with the fact that they risked their lives and blood and accumulated solid credibility, when they jointly spoke out, almost no one would question their motives.

According to the rules of the game formulated by "Gravity", the land in the game can be rented out.

As for what to use after renting out, the game party will not restrict anything in order to show the degree of freedom.

Qu Jinsha's "Douzhuan Gambling Square" has been opened, and of course the base station has also been built.

And the effect of the three teams' initiative is unusually good.

Many players may not be good at playing with ghosts and human hearts.

But under the normal social order, they should be mortise and tenon joints, screws, and nuts that can glow and glow.

Instead of being powerless and stuck in a safe place to survive, it is better to find something worthwhile to do.

A man who had a broken leg and lived in an alley by picking up food thrown from bars limped to find them. He introduced himself and said that he used to be a Ph.D. major in electronic information engineering and had 7G Advanced Certificate in Vocational Skills in Base Station Construction and Maintenance.

Here, finally, no one would yell at him and tell him to go away roughly.

He is the core force and the "Huang Gong" respected by everyone.

Surrounding him, a large number of seemingly useless people in the game gathered together.

There are engineering construction technicians who work half-dead on the home island.

There are mid-level engineers who specialize in wireless network planning, but can only do odd jobs washing dishes in bars opened by NPCs.

There is an associate professor of engineering survey who is forced to engage in the same-sex trade in exchange for basic living conditions.

Moreover, the base station under construction is not the only one in the "Rust City".

In "Paper Gold", "Squirrel Town", "Homeland Island", and "Ancient City State", base stations are blooming everywhere, and there is an invisible speed competition among them.

Even Qu Jinsha invested a sum of money in the "paper gold" base station with great interest.

Of course, what drives him to invest is not some kindness.

As a shrewd and sober businessman, he didn't believe that they could really get in touch with the outside world.

What he wants to fight in advance is the first right to use the base station.

If the network is restored, he will have the control over the WiFi of the "Paper Gold", and maybe he can make a lot of money.

The safety point, which was originally lifeless and had nothing to do, was continuously injected with invisible vitality.

Every face passing by on the street is no longer numb and confused, and the steps fall on the ground with a slight upward elasticity.

Even knowing that what they are engaged in may be just wishful thinking and useless work, at least they are unwilling to return to being a pool of living meat slowly rotting in a dark corner where no one knows.

The conversations on the World Channel scrolled uncharacteristically fast and well-organized.

Nan Zhou sat by the bright window, eating lemon pudding cake, and watching people rushing around for the various tasks released.

As a person who doesn't understand the operating order of the human world at all, even if he doesn't understand infrastructure, and doesn't quite understand what it means, Nan Zhou still finds this way of operating very interesting and makes him comfortable.

Everyone has something to do, it's better than gathering people to scold him.

Jiang Fang was holding a cup of hot latte, appreciating it gracefully, as if the bustle and bustle in front of him was not created by him behind the scenes.

Li Yinhang is also browsing the world channel simultaneously.

Just at this time, a requirement was refreshed.

[Songbai-Zhao Guanglu] The "Paper Gold" site needs to add two tons of steel.

And about 1 minute later, his appeal got feedback.

【Chunhua-Bian Xingwen】Received and shipped immediately.

Li Yinhang looked at the name "Zhao Guanglu", and the more he looked at it, the more he felt familiar.

At a certain moment, blessing to the soul.

She clapped her hands suddenly, and said pleasantly, "...Old Zhao!"

Zhao Guanglu, who lived with Li Yinhang in Zhanghua Community, spent the ghost hunting mission on the bus together.

The middle-aged man who once proudly claimed that he built an international college in Jiangnan District, but had no information and had little access to basic information on the Internet.

...he is alive and well, and has found a job that suits him.

Li Yinhang leaned back, a wonderful and solid feeling radiated from the inside out.

Her mind grew wider.

Building infrastructure in the game can actually break through some limitations in reality.

For example, the time consumption and material consumption of transportation.

The storage compartment can easily transport items weighing hundreds of tons.

Various props allow them to realize fast transmission between fixed points.

High-quality basic materials can be exchanged for points in the store.

Even, as long as they spend enough points, they can even hire game NPCs to work for them.

Thinking of this, Li Yinhang thought of a very important thing.

She raised her head and said worriedly, "Do they have enough points?"

Participating in the construction of the base station is quite a number of teams or individuals with low rankings. They are unwilling to take risks in the dungeon, and I am afraid that it will be a problem to support themselves.

How long can this consumption last?

Jiang Fang pressed the coffee cup to his lips, and calmly replied: "Yinhang, look, have the teams and individual points after the 200th place dropped significantly compared to those before the 200th place?"

Li Yinhang dubiously checked Jiang Fang's statement, and then his eyes widened in surprise.

……indeed so.

Jiang Fang: "According to the current point difference, it is conservatively estimated that the teams ranked after 200 basically have no possibility of greatly improving their rankings and achieving a leap of more than [-]."

"Since there is not much hope of winning in person, they are going to try to find another way out."

"After all, it is another more reliable and practical goal to hope that those of us at the top of the rankings will make a wish to the game planner, and if the wish is really successful, sending a signal to the outside world for help."

"In order to better achieve this goal, some of these middle-ranked people will wait and see temporarily, and some will actively invest in points, subsidize them, or even join them on the premise of ensuring their own survival is not affected."

Speaking of this, he smiled and said to Nan Zhou: "Even if a person is in a narrow gap, he still has to work hard to find a bright creature."

Nan Zhou was concentrating on eating the cake.

Hearing this, he raised his head, stared at Jiang Fang, and nodded in agreement: "Yes. Just like you like me."

...Jiang Fang choked on a mouthful of coffee.

When Jiang Fang coughed again and again, Li Yinhang watched Jiang Fang attentively.

He had once sent him to contact Shen Jie and Yu Tuisi.

She knew what Jiang Fang must have wanted to do, or had already done.

Maybe, everything now is driven by his plan.

Li Yinhang wanted to ask something, but in the end the words he uttered became: "Then do we need to do something?"

She knew that Jiang Fang's nature contained a little elegance and quiet madness, and he was not a friend worthy of 100% trust.

However, she was still willing to try to trust Jiang Fang's decision.

While Jiang Fang wiped off the coffee stains at the corner of his mouth with a paper towel, he regained his proper appearance.

He replied: "We are No.3. Our mission is different from theirs."

Nan Zhou understood what he meant.

He looked at the team that was always on top of them.

- "Adam".

A team with the same puzzle and inherited all the points from "Zhaohui".

……

At the same moment, Yuan Mingqing, the high-dimensional player in "Adam", also turned off the camera in another safe point, watching the relevant situation of "Cubic Ark".

In contrast, Tang and Song paid more attention to the ordinary players who came and went as the ants raced for blood, and felt that their actions were fresh and funny.

"Human beings are really fragile and stupid." He made a high-level statement. "They think they can get in touch with the outside world? It's a beautiful idea."

Yuan Mingqing's expression was complicated: "Don't look at them. Look at the 'Cubic Ark'. They came back from their mission."

Tang Song glanced at their tiny points change, and said mockingly: "It's a garbage dungeon. It takes a long time and the reward is small. I can't understand why we should pay attention to them? Obviously, as long as the upper level moves a little bit , distribute more low-quality copies to them, and they will have no chance of surpassing us."

Yuan Mingqing's expression was not so relaxed: "However, I heard that the dungeon they played crashed again."

Tang Song groaned: "How did you do it? It's still like the dungeon of 'Sha, Sha, Sha', directly detaining the boss? Hasn't this bug been fixed above?"

Yuan Mingqing shook his head: "Two little bosses died, and one boss heard that he went to practice Buddhism."

Tang Song couldn't believe his ears: "...Cultivate Buddhism?"

Yuan Mingqing: "It's a monk."

Tang Song: "..."

He did not expect this development.

But Tang Song quickly adjusted his mentality: "Is it a human boss?"

Yuan Mingqing: "Yes."

Tang Song laughed: "Sure enough, it's just a fight between trash."

"No." Yuan Mingqing said, "This is already the fourth."

Tang Song raised his eyebrows: "...what?"

Yuan Mingqing: "After the data is re-screened, almost all the copies they have played so far have collapsed to varying degrees."

Tang Song smiled: "Are you kidding me?"

"it is true."

Yuan Mingqing seriously read the report from his superior that he had just received: "In [Xiao Ming's Daily Life], because the player Nan Zhou took away all the notebooks with clocks drawn on the key character Xiao Ming, the core prop 'Countercurrent Clock Hand' is missing, there is no With the cracked key, new players will not be able to successfully enter."

"[Sand, sand, sand] What is the situation, we all know: the dungeon boss died, and the entire dungeon was completely scrapped."

"In [Fear of the Full Moon], Zheng Xinghe, the core key figure, got his wish fulfilled, his resentment disappeared, and the copy was scrapped."

“[Brain Invasion] is the only one that has not collapsed because it is connected to our original world. But according to their completion of the deciphering of the five fairy tale worlds, especially the two stories of 'Swan Lake' and 'Candy House', they Exposing the truth of the stepmother also brought happiness to the brothers and sisters, destroyed the foundation of the story, and caused the two story units to lose their operating logic and be completely shut down."

"[Xie Jiang] is the boss monk I just mentioned."

After finishing a round of briefings, Yuan Mingqing looked directly at Tang Song, whose brows were condensed into an iron bump: "So, the higher ups are asking for our opinions. The ratings have basically reached saturation, and our winning percentage has also entered the forecast period." The estimated range, the income is enough, and they want us to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible.”

Tang Song put one hand on the back of the chair: "Let us be their PVE teammates?"

"No." Yuan Mingqing tapped the paper regularly with the pen that was taking notes, and looked directly at Tang and Song. "The above said, look at our opinions. If we agree, they will pass appropriate operations to let us Meet them in PVP."

PVP, once two teams meet, either you die or I die.

For Yuan Mingqing, his mood was not peaceful.

This is quite risky behavior.

He is a stable faction who complements Tang and Song's characters. When he has not collected enough information, he does not advocate direct hand-to-hand combat with such a group of dangerous and unpredictable opponents.

Because of his restless mind, he exerted too much force with his fingertips, and the moment the tip of the pen hit the paper, he accidentally lost strength and the pen flew out.

The pen rolled down more than half a meter and stopped in front of a pair of small leather shoes passing by.

Yuan Mingqing was about to lean over to pick it up, when a hand with a butterfly tattoo took him a step ahead and picked up the pen.

Yuan Mingqing kept his head down to pick up the pen, his throat tightened and contracted, and the muscles all over his body also tensed up abnormally.

Nan Zhou held a pen in his hand and handed it to him.

Seeing Yuan Mingqing stiffen for a moment, he consciously said, "You're welcome."

Yuan Mingqing: "..."

Who should thank you? ?

Cubic Ark, a ruthless dungeon machine
