Forces of Temptation

There are not too few players who choose Squirrel Town to rest.

Different from the urban prosperity of Rust City and the sensual dogs and horses of Zhijin, Squirrel Town is a fairy tale style full of leisure and comfort.

The architectural style is European-style castle, and the main colors are warm orange-brown and pink.

It has to be said that after experiencing life and death, blood and fire, Squirrel Town is as beautiful as an unreal dream.

Most players will choose a fixed city to rest.

The five themed cities in "Gravity" each have their own characteristics.

Players who are accustomed to ordinary urban life will choose the "rust city" that is most similar to their daily habits.

Those who want to indulge in sensuality and seek excitement will choose "paper gold" with a wide disparity between rich and poor, one second of heaven, and one second of hell.

Players who are a little more wild will choose "Ancient City State".

It is said that there is a Spartan-style barren wall, with a huge circular amphitheater at the center.

That's where the game's arena is located in the normal version of Gravity.

Players will choose to PK in the arena.

Winners can get points and item rewards.

Of course, players can also initiate unilateral challenges, using various green, orange and purple weapons to bet against each other. It all depends on voluntary and strength, the winner is king, and the loser is king.

I don't know what kind of ghost the arena has been modified by the operators behind the scenes in the current game.

"Squirrel Town", as the most girlish fairy-tale island, together with "Homeland Island", a Robinson-style breeding island, has become a dreamland far away from the other three "fancy worlds".

Surrounded by the sound of waves and the singing of seagulls.

Players who come to Squirrel Town will be fixedly teleported to an arc-shaped white sand beach that stretches for several miles, and a ticket will be automatically refreshed in their hands.

Everything is exactly the same as the steps to enter the amusement park in the real world, full of ritual.

Players only need to swipe the e-ticket at the gate to enter, and they can roam freely in the Coconut Sea, European Wind, Sand Sea, and Castle.

Relatively speaking, the functionality of Squirrel Town is weaker than the other four transit stations.

Its original main function was to provide a playground for players over 12 years old, mainly for family entertainment.

In the center of the town, the parent-child movie city in the shape of a crystal castle is the most popular, and it can be used to play family movies.

Other players only need to wear the family version of VR glasses, and they can directly experience the joy of watching movies with the whole family.

Because of its weak functionality and entertainment, most of the people who choose Squirrel Town to settle down are salty fish players who don't want to compete.

Of course, there are also players who take advantage of the relatively peaceful environment to seek their own way of life.

They actively devoted their energy to discovering the commercial functions of Squirrel Town.

"Clanging Little Rose" is one of the entrepreneurial teams.

This is a team of four female players.

There used to be five of them, but after they bit the bullet and participated in a dungeon and lost one member, they were beaten to death and refused to go again.

Now, they make a living by selling dungeon information in exchange for points.

To be honest, this business is not easy to do.

First of all, players have selfishness.

They are not willing to take the initiative to share their dungeon experience.

In the final analysis, everyone is in a competitive relationship. Who wants to tell others casually the experience of clearing the dungeon that he has worked so hard and even sacrificed his teammates?

Others know the key and passed it with ease. Wouldn't it be a big loss for them to try and make mistakes?

However, it's okay to share.

have to add money.

"Clanging Little Rose" doesn't have a lot of primitive accumulation on hand, so it can't fill up the wealth, so it's not easy to spend a high price to buy information, and it's even more afraid that the information will be rotten in his hands and no one will buy it, losing his wife and losing his army.

Therefore, they chose the simplest method——

In some restaurants and bars, order a glass of boiled water and listen to the bragging of players who just came back from the instance.

Some people's dungeon life is not too difficult, and they have gained a lot. Coupled with the nervous excitement and strong desire to confide in the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, they will be more willing to talk about their experiences for free.

They hid nearby, with their ears pricked up, and secretly recorded it.

It has to be said that although this kind of behavior is a little wretched, they have indeed accumulated a lot of information through this method.

Of course, such second-hand information will inevitably be embellished and the details will be distorted.

If you don't come forward to talk and add details, the information you get may not be useful.

In order to avoid trouble, some intelligence dealers who accompanied them simply turned into writers, and based on the sporadic information they heard, they fabricated their own ways to pass the dungeon, and sold a set of fabricated dungeon information to the players.

Of course, "Clanging Little Rose" also had this kind of careful thinking.

After all, as far as the information they have heard so far, no two teams of players have experienced the same instance.

Even if the fabricated information is sold, it does not necessarily harm the chances of people.

But because this act was too nasty, they couldn't bear the responsibility of life and death. After several girls discussed and argued, they still couldn't do it.

Therefore, they had no choice but to find another way and chose the most beautiful among them. Once they heard players discussing valuable dungeons, they would take the initiative to attack after collecting certain information through eavesdropping.

Battle plans vary.

If the opponent is a male player, immediately express admiration with all kinds of star eyes and give full praise.

If the opponent is a female player, immediately be sincere and ask for advice.

The respect and kindness given to them by female players is relatively more.

"Clanging Little Rose" has even reached a relatively stable long-term cooperative relationship with three teams dominated by female players.

After they came back from the dungeon, they would sell the dungeon information to "Little Rose" at a low price.

"Little Rose" will also do its best to provide them with one or two copy information on hand for free.

This is the source of information.

But life was not much better for them.

How to sell copy information is also a headache.

Most of the players who would come to buy dungeon information did not have a lot of money.

They will question the authenticity of the dungeon information, suspect that the information in it is adulterated, and worry that other teams deliberately provide false information, so as to kill the players of other teams, so that they can rise a few more places on the leaderboard.

Picky in every way, disgusted in every way.

But after all, the team of players who really don't believe in the information about the dungeon for sale will not waste their precious time asking them for a price.

After inquiring about the price, I came to chat with them again, just hoping that "Little Clanging Rose" would lower the price and offer some discounts, and strive to obtain information at the lowest price.

At first, "Little Rose" comforted himself, "If you have business, don't be a bastard", while stupidly lowering the price and packing, sold a lot of information.

As a result, when they turned around, those who bought information from them resold the information to other scammers at a price much higher than their selling price.

When the four girls learned of this situation, they were almost outraged.

After knocking out teeth and swallowing blood, they became very concerned.

But long-sightedness does not make business easier.

Even if they try their best to sell everywhere, the business is still very little, and the points they earn are only enough for them to eat and breathe.

Even if they were among the first batch of players to come in like Boss Qu Jinsha of Douzhuan Casino, up to now, the points they have accumulated on hand are only 10000 points, and they are dotted in the back row of the leaderboard, barely getting by .

The harmonious and beautiful Squirrel Town is their daily activity place.

Today, Captain Shao Qian got up the earliest.

...but it's already nine o'clock.

She got up on tiptoe and cooked a pot of rice with the leftovers from yesterday and the ham that was about to expire.

She thought of the front girl Chu Wei who was a little bit cold, hesitated again and again, but still cruelly cracked two eggs into it, intending to mend her.

While the eggs were scrambling, Shao Qian received an update notification.

She didn't even look at it, and just clicked Update.

...Anyway, small shrimp players like them don't need to resist the system.

Wait until the update is complete to see what has been updated.

After a few minutes.

Holding the spatula, she stared at the updated page for a dozen seconds.

Then she quickly turned off the fire, threw herself on the bed, and woke up the three sleepy-eyed girls one by one: "Wake up! Wake up!"

This update, for four girls who barely make ends meet from a small business, has been a mixed blessing.

The 500 points that fell from the sky only allowed them to experience short-term happiness.

What really made them feel threatened was the new function of "World Channel".

——With this real-time communication tool, wouldn't players be able to bypass their intelligence peddlers and directly communicate with each other?

Once there are channels of communication and the isolation is overcome, the simple wisdom of the people will grow exponentially.

They can trade props, and they must also exchange copy information.

What's the use of them then?

Can't be a middleman, can't make the difference, how will they live next?

"Clanging Little Rose" decided not to sit still.

Chen Meibing, a girl who used to work in the advertising department, quickly started to draw up a promotional draft, intending to take advantage of the newly launched Dongfeng of World Channel to make the name of the small shop that sells high-quality copy information - "Little Rose".

Worryingly, they have quite a few competitors.

Fortunately, Captain Shao Qian was the first to update, which took a little advantage in terms of time.

So they have to be faster and seize the opportunity of the first wave of publicity.

Chen Meibing and Shao Qian intensively discussed how to make the advertisement more explosive.

Lu Lulu, a jogger, went to confirm how many players there are in Squirrel Town today, as usual.

After she had breakfast, she would jog around the town for a week, continuing to check for new faces to work with.

And Chu Wei was wrapped in a blanket, staring at the world channel, observing whether there were other information dealers who released advertising information before them.

After watching for a while, she suddenly frowned: "...huh?"

Shao Qian immediately raised her head nervously: "What's wrong? Has someone posted an advertisement?"

Chu Wei: "No..."

She sucked her heavily congested nose: "On the World Channel, someone said a very strange thing."

In the world channel that just launched, there are quite a few people talking.

So Shao Qian swiped up several times before seeing what Chu Wei said...that "strange words".

Cube Ark - Li Yinhang (Li Bank): Players who are currently in Squirrel Town, please leave the town within 8 hours.

Only one person below responded with a question mark symbolically, and this sentence was submerged in the massive amount of information.

Shao Qian didn't take it to heart at all: "Don't worry about it."

After 5 minutes passed.

Chu Wei, who had been staring at the World Channel, made another suspicious voice: "...huh?"

Cube Ark-Li Yinhang: Players who are currently in Squirrel Town, please leave the town within 7 hours and 55 minutes.

At the same time, Shao Qian also saw it.

She was also aroused a little curiosity: "What does this person want to do?"

At this time, Lu Lulu came back.

Shao Qian asked her casually: "Sanlu, how many players are there in the town now?"

Lu Lulu wiped off her sweat with a white towel, and replied, "1990. What's the matter?"

This data is obtained from the real-time updated electronic cards of the number of tourists at the gate of the town.

——The same facilities as those amusement parks and scenic spots.

Hearing this data, Shao Qian couldn't help but shook her head with a smile.

——Everyone is resting well in the small town, why should we evacuate?

Besides, with just one word from this player, almost 8 people can be evacuated within 2000 hours?

What about trouble?
