Forces of Temptation

Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang were really in no rush to improve their scores.

This made Li Yinhang, who occasionally fell into deep anxiety, feel that he was the eunuch.

When she calculated the difference between them and "Adam" for the nth time, and worriedly tried to communicate with the two, the two were competing in planks on the bed.

No bets, just playing around.

And Nanjixing squatted in front of them, holding a salted cherry in its two paws, slowly sucking and biting, acting as a little referee.

Seeing that 5 minutes had passed, Jiang Fang suddenly stretched out a hand and gently squeezed Nan Zhou's chest.

Nan Zhou couldn't dodge in time, he groaned, and fell face down on the bed.

Nanjixing spit out the cherry pit, and pointed towards Nanzhou with the cherry stem.

Out, out.

Nanzhou: "..."

Jiang Fang lowered his head and chuckled softly with his face buried in his arms.

Nanzhou's competitiveness is still very heavy.

He got up, knelt on the bed, lowered his head and carefully touched and pinched his chest, studying why he was particularly sensitive here.

A lot of research, of course, to no avail.

Seeing that Jiang Fang was still on the back, Nan Zhou wanted to make a fool of himself.

...he's going to screw his too.

But just as he stretched his hand halfway, Jiang Fang caught him on the spot and firmly grasped his wrist.

Jiang Fang supported his whole body weight with one arm, and guided Nan Zhou's palm to the top of his hair. With a bit of a coquettish nature, he led him and smoothed his hair twice.

As expected, Nan Zhou was successfully induced. He rubbed his long silver hair that fell naturally after it was loosened, feeling like he was stroking a beautiful silk satin.

Facing the two bosses who were not doing their jobs properly, Li Yinhang was speechless.

It wasn't until Jiang Fang had had enough fun that she comfortably pillowed Nan Zhou's thigh with a thin layer of sweat, and she froze weakly: "That..."

Both pairs of eyes looked at her.

Li Yinhang took off the pen clipped to his ear and cleared his throat: "Currently, the difference between us and 'Adam' is 108000 points."

Jiang Fang sighed indifferently: "There are so many."

Nan Zhou withdrew his gaze and continued to fiddle with and observe Jiang Fang's silver hair.

His hair was indeed a pure light silver from the roots, and shone like diamonds in the sun.

Li Yinhang also knew that the [-] points could not be made up by his weak supporter alone.

But she just couldn't help being anxious.

Unless they run into several difficult and high-yield dungeons like [Brain Invasion] one after another.

But since the [Sand, Sand, Sand] dungeon, [Full Moon Dungeon] directly targeted the weaknesses of Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang, while [Brain Invasion] was completely deadly, trying to put them to death. After the pursuit battle, a low-yield instance of [Evil Falling] followed.

This series of operations made Li Yinhang clearly realize that even if they wanted to hit this big luck, the "hand of God" who manipulated their fate would not give them this chance.

If nothing else, they will continue to be suppressed.

The initiative is never in their hands.

This matter cannot withstand pondering, and the more pondering, the more flustered it becomes.

Even though he is in the third highest position, Li Yinhang still feels tense like walking on eggshells.

After spending a two-day rest period with a relatively calm mind, this tense feeling became more and more intense, making her sleepless and restless.

"The point is this'.'..." Li Yinhang adjusted his mentality and continued to analyze, "This team does not have any information, but it is ranked first—at present, we can only assume that it is a team. fixed coordinate system."

"The game will always end one day. I think, whether it's a single leaderboard or a team leaderboard, the only frame of reference is this fixed '.'."

"I guess, as soon as someone's score surpasses the first '.', our ranking changes will be completely suspended, and all games will be over."

"The game planner deliberately did not give the specific value of '.", just to create such anxiety."

"Perhaps, 'Adam', who is ahead of us, is far from surpassing'." The points for 'Adam' only need a 1000-point task reward for a copy of low-level difficulty, and we are still more than [-] points away from 'Adam'... This is The carrot placed in front of the donkey is clearly intended to encourage us to compete—”

When Li Yinhang was talking, Nanjixing was standing beside her, with her short claws on her hips, following the rhythm of Li Yinhang's speech, holding the leftover cherry stems, pointing at the two of them in a serious manner.

Nan Zhou glanced at it.

It shrank back immediately behind Li Yinhang and peeked at Nanzhou with a cherry stem in its mouth.

Li Yinhang didn't know that Nanzhou was flirting with Nanjixing.

After a round of analysis, she became more and more uncertain.

She tentatively came to a conclusion: "...How about, let's make a copy right away?"

Jiang Fang laughed and looked at Nan Zhou: "Since we were on vacation, how many times has she brought up the copy?"

Nan Zhou lowered his eyes: "The sixth time."

Li Yinhang, who is used to 996: "I..."

She scratched her cheek, belatedly embarrassed by her impatience.

That's right, she always stays by the boss's side every mission.

With Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang taking turns at the front, she basically didn't think about it, and she didn't suffer any hardships. It is not an exaggeration to say that she won easily.

She was in such a hurry to go out on a mission, thinking about it carefully, she really felt a little bit uncomfortable standing up and talking.

When Li Yinhang was embarrassed, Nan Zhou, who was playing with Jiang Fang's hair, suddenly said, "Yinhang."

Li Yinhang: "Huh?"

Nan Zhou said: "You had a problem in the last dungeon."

Li Yinhang knew that Nan Zhou was referring to the fact that he was clearly wearing a pseudonym, but declared himself in front of the young couple, and turned into a self-destructing pickup truck.

Fortunately, the young couple didn't notice it at the time.

Still, it makes no difference.

Thinking about it afterwards, Cao Shuguang and Ma Xiaopei must have known their identities a long time ago.

They were just deceiving each other.

Nan Zhou asked: "Do you know why we didn't tell you right away?"

"I know." Li Yinhang frankly admitted his mediocrity, "I'm not good at acting. If you tell me that you slipped your tongue, I will definitely panic, and I won't be able to get along with them naturally."

"Yeah." Nanzhou said calmly, "It's good that you can understand this."

He paused, then added: "Also, you're not that bad."

Li Yinhang was embarrassed by the praise, and even if he wanted to suggest a dungeon, he had no position, so he simply shut up and gave up.

It wasn't like they hadn't done nothing these days when they came back to safety.

……

On the day they came back, when they were wandering around the newly built signal tower in the "Rust City", they met Yi Shuige.

After seeing Nan Zhou and his party from afar, Yi Shuige took the initiative to step forward, put down his brown sunglasses, smiled and pointed to the Half-Cheng Pagoda behind him, and greeted Jiang Fang: "Look at my achievements, how do you feel?" ?”

Twenty of his puppet dolls were dispatched, and under the command of an engineer, they were climbing up and down the tower flexibly.

Jiang Fang smiled as usual, as if the huge project in front of him had nothing to do with him.

"How did you think of doing this?"

"I have nothing to do when I'm idle, find something to do."

After Yi Shuige perfectly matched his rhythm, he winked not far away: "...and take him out to let the wind go."

Xie Xiangyu was also standing not far away, tracing a pattern with a pencil, not knowing what he was designing.

He was not in handcuffs.

When he is not showing his sharpness, he is also a refreshingly handsome young man, but unfortunately his complexion is pale, and he looks a little weak when leaning against the wall.

Nan Zhou still remembered that he was good at hand-made weapons.

Jiang Fang: "Are you worried about him?"

Yi Shuige made a pun with a smile on his face: "He, he has to find something to do now, or he will be pissed off."

Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang nodded clearly at the same time.

...It seems that Yi Shuige has managed to let Xie Xiangyu know that the good things about the two of them have been rebroadcasted simultaneously, and everyone has watched them all.

Of course, from the perspective of Gaowei people, it is not surprising that Xie Xiangyu has always been so angry since he became Yi Shuige's palm.

On the other side, Xie Xiangyu once again thought of the incident that made him sad and angry.

With a click, he broke the 2B pencil in his hand.

His face, dignity, pride...

All destroyed at once!

Xie Xiangyu, who had long guessed the existence of Gaowei people, didn't mind cooperating with Gaowei people to make this interesting death game last for a long time.

He is even willing to make a wish, wanting to keep this game going.

However, the Gaowei people did not regard him as a partner at all.

They took him for a clown.

Thinking of them making fun of every time he loses control and crying, Xie Xiangyu burns inside, his chest heaves and he almost dies on the spot from his own imagination.

Gaowei people, your father exploded.

He really wanted to kill one or two high-dimensional people to vent his anger, but he couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on, so he could only grit his teeth and vent his anger.

Seeing that Xie Xiangyu's face turned red, Yi Shuige knew that this guy was extremely angry, and if he let it go, he might even carry his anger away like a canary, so he said "sorry" to the three of them gesture, and walked back to Xie Xiangyu's side.

Xie Xiangyu was full of resentment and was unable to resolve it. When he saw Yi Shuige, he found a punching bag. He glared at him with seven points of anger, and opened his mouth to curse angrily, "Get out".

Yi Shuige whispered something to Xie Xiangyu's ear, and Xie Xiangyu fell back, as if out of breath: "You...you..."

He raised his hand and was about to slap Yi Shuige across the face. After his wrist was snatched, he was carried onto Yi Shuige's shoulder.

Yi Shuige turned his head to greet them, hummed a little song very easily, and carried Xie Xiangyu, who was beating and scolding endlessly, away from the scene, and brought him back to the engineering hut beside him.

Next, "Cubic Ark" found Zhao Guanglu at the construction site of "Paper Gold".

When Zhao Guanglu saw Nan Zhou, Jiang Fang and Li Yinhang, he was so excited that he didn't know where to put them.

In the practice level, Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang saved his life.

Li Yinhang was a neighbor who once lived in the same community as him.

In this precarious environment, this seemingly insignificant friendship with neighbors is enough to make people feel emotional.

He invited the "Cubic Ark" to have a meal, and the materials used were the harvests from his hard work on the "Homeland Island".

Zhao Guanglu's face and eyes were glowing, and he was enthusiastically selling: "Eat, eat quickly. In the past, these foods could not be sold if you wanted to, and there was no shortage of them anywhere. It was so rare to buy some points. Now Well, there are more people working, people are busy, and there are more mouths to eat, now I can earn a little at both ends, things can be sold, and the tower has been built, how wonderful it is.”

Li Yinhang asked cautiously: "Where's Wu Yukai?" The grumpy college student who took the same bus with them and finally joined forces with Zhao Guanglu to act.

Zhao Guanglu said without hesitation, "He's raising fish on Homeland Island."

Li Yinhang heaved a sigh of relief, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.

It's great that everyone who was rescued is still alive.

During the next few days of wandering, "Cubic Ark" ran into "Bronze" who was in a hurry, but unfortunately they couldn't talk for a few words, because they had to leave because they had to have a meeting with "Gilt" and "Meteorite" .

They ran into "Nanshan" which appeared again near the "Colosseum".

After not seeing each other for a few days, Yu Tuisi and Chen Sufeng's rankings have improved again.

Without saying a word, their ranking rose to 69th in the team standings.

They had a meal, during which the atmosphere was very peaceful.

Yu Tuisi has always adhered to the principle of making friends between gentlemen as light as water, and never mentioned to "Li Fangzhou" that Chen Sufeng tried to form an alliance with them when he was in the "Colosseum".

But they are using practical actions to prove the importance of the two to "Li Ark".

Li Yinhang secretly calculated that as long as they join, their total points will have the hope of surpassing "Adam".

But since Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang didn't make a statement, she also pretended not to know what Yu and Chen were saying.

In this way, their leisure days of doing nothing in the safe point have passed day by day to the present.

It seems to have done nothing, but it seems to have done a lot.

……

The data is densely woven, weaving a continuous Milky Way, forming a large piece of milky white chaos, covering the line of sight like fog.

In this dense fog of high-density data, the live broadcast room is no longer lively, but a suffocating solemnity.

A quiet and indifferent data voice came from the depths of the data: "So far, the uncontrollable factors have increased too much."

The chief director in the broadcast room was ashamed, Nuonuo replied: "Yes."

He dared not say anything more.

The person in front of him is the general manager of the "Gravity" project.

As he said, there's just too much going on in Gravity these days.

If your team wants to have a better life, it is best to follow the instructions above and stop any extraneous actions.

The voice of the person in charge has an inorganic quality that has settled down after being extremely calm: "Next game, have you figured out what match they will be matched with?"

The director hurriedly said: "It's selected. Whether it's PVP or PVE, I have made three plans."

The person in charge: "Have you passed the screening? Will there still be instances of dungeon upgrades like 'Evil Falling'?"

The director broke into a sweat: "If they choose PVE, there will continue to be low-level copies similar to 'Evil Falling', and there is no possibility of upgrading; if they choose PVP, let them face 'Adam' immediately. "

The figure of the chief executive in the data fog moved gracefully, as if nodding his head: "Be fully prepared. Our investors all think that it is time to kill them. The time has dragged on for too long. "

The director even claims to be.

The person in charge asked again: "What about Shao Mingzhe, have you found out where he came from?"

"Still investigating." This matter has nothing to do with his duties, the data team should be responsible for it, so the director replied confidently, "It is said that it is because there are too many data, it is difficult to trace..."

"Then continue to trace back."

The person in charge continued to ask: "They are playing Jiantajiajiajiu, have you thought of a way to deal with it?"

The director was confused for a moment: "...Does this need us to solve?"

High-dimensional audiences all regard this incident as a means for them to seek help from the outside world.

While they all know it's pointless, it provides some emotional value to those lost players.

The person in charge said: "They are very happy now, which has caused the ratings to fluctuate-there are many viewers who are happy to see the players suffer."

The director was a little embarrassed: "But... if we want to intervene, there is no reason. They bought and used the land reasonably, and did not violate the rules of the game."

The person in charge just casually added a sentence: "Don't worry, the ratings haven't dropped significantly, but fluctuated. There are still audiences who like this kind of cooperation, and some audiences are looking forward to it when they find themselves unable to communicate with the outside world." Desperate expression. Let them build towers and play at this stage, and adjust if there is any abnormality."

He emphasized: "All I care about is the ratings. You have to do it right."

The director said yes, and thought this was the closing statement of the chief executive.

Unexpectedly, the person in charge spoke again: "And..."

The director immediately raised his spirits: "You said?"

The person in charge lightly wrote: "... find a way to get rid of 'Nanshan' for me."

"It is necessary to prevent 'Nanshan' from joining 'Cubic Ark' and affecting the ranking of 'Adam'."

Speaking of this, the voice of the general manager is even colder: "The distance from 'Adam' surpasses'." To reach the top, there are only 2 points. Make sure, before they reasonably become the No.1 in the Chinese server, don't Anything goes wrong."
