Forces of Temptation

On this day, almost all the players in Squirrel Town had the same thoughts as Shao Qian when they saw the first few reminders that Li Yinhang sent out with highly similar content.

……Who are you.

Fuck it.

be sick.

But after the 12th time I saw this reminder that would appear precisely every 5 minutes, everyone's psychology coincided with a subtle change.

Chu Wei couldn't sit still.

She looked at Shao Qian: "Sister Shao, what does this Li Yinhang want to do?"

Shao Qian still bit the bullet: "Don't worry about it."

However, it is simply not possible to ignore it completely.

They couldn't figure out the bottom of Li Yinhang and the "Cubic Ark" behind her, and the uneasiness in their hearts increased with time.

You must know that even in Squirrel Town, which is relatively safest, "Little Rose" has seen two drunken teams break out into conflict, pull each other and disappear into the night.

The next day, a body of unknown team was floating in the bay.

The game system only stipulates that dungeon props cannot be used in the transfer station.

But there are thousands of ways to kill people without dungeon props.

The five transfer stations are not warm and beautiful comfort nests or safe havens.

Want to expel nearly 2000 people with one plausible statement, intending to vacate the town?

What exactly does "Cubic Ark" want to do?

Coincides with the World Channel just opened.

At this point in time, new features always get the most attention.

After many questions lingered in everyone's mind for about an hour, some people finally couldn't hold back.

Cube Ark-Li Yinhang (Li Bank): Players who are currently in Squirrel Town, please leave the town within 6 hours and 55 minutes.

Donghai-Wang Shangyue: @立方舟-李银阳, why do you want us to leave Squirrel Town?

The other party did not reply.

It looks like an AI that has been programmed, only responsible for accurate timekeeping, and does not have the function of answering questions.

This inevitably made Chen Meibing, the hottest advertisement specialist in "Little Rose", become irritable: "What the hell are they trying to do?!"

Chu Wei cautiously suggested: "Why don't we go to Homeland Island to stay for a while?"

"Why?!"

Chen Meibing was in a bad mood.

She was arranged to work overtime urgently as soon as she came up. As a result, she carefully edited and put out the advertisement, and received sporadic responses. The discussion on the World Channel was not as good as an inexplicable time teller.

She said angrily: "We won't leave. If this person tells us to leave, we will leave, crazy."

Chu Wei is the prettiest among the girls, but her character is a standard soft girl, not aggressive at all.

She worried: "What if the team wants to do something?"

Chen Meibing snorted: "What can they do? Blow up the town?"

Shao Qian raised her head: "...It's not impossible."

She gestured to her team to look at the updated leaderboard.

Among the many teams, the ranking of "Cubic Ark" is quite high.

... the team ranked 121st.

Among the three team members, the one with the highest personal points is named Nan Zhou.

No more, no less, exactly 500th place.

Although the team ranking of "Cubic Ark" is far from the number of points of "." at the top of the team list, although for some dungeon lunatics who have been in Rust City, Paper Gold and Ancient City State, this team The points are not particularly eye-catching...

But in Squirrel Town, where salted fish players are the main members, the vast majority of players really can't afford to mess with them.

Chen Meibing looked at the opponent's 121st place, and then looked at her own ranking outside the 300th place, and was speechless for a while.

At critical times, Shao Qian, as the captain, was still stable.

She said to Lu Lulu: "Sanlu, look at the sign at the door again. How many players have left now?"

Lu Lulu happened to be sitting anxiously.

It's always good to have something to do to distract you.

She ran to the door.

During this period, Li Yinhang's time countdown has not stopped.

It's not a good feeling.

It's like you are walking in the park well, and suddenly someone uses a loudspeaker to repeatedly notify you that the park is closed, and tourists are asked to leave quickly.

Even if they have never heard of the rules of closing the garden, even if they don't know who is issuing the orders, ordinary people will still subconsciously speculate whether something is going to happen.

When there is no answer, this invisible worry and anxiety will automatically drive people to make choices that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

When she ran towards the entrance of Squirrel Town, there were already players in twos and threes walking towards the teleportation point at the entrance.

Not too many people, and did not form a decent crowd.

Lu Lulu stepped forward to inquire and confirmed that these players chose to leave on their own.

Although they don't know what happened, but one more thing is worse than one less thing.

When others tell them to go, they go.

Although it sounds like there is no dignity, but safety is paramount, what dignity is needed.

...Most salted fish players are like this.

Lu Lulu sighed, quickened her pace, and rushed to the electronic display board at the door.

... There was a figure who stood in front of the display board earlier than her.

Lu Lulu glanced over in a hurry, and her heart, which was originally beating at a relatively stable frequency, suddenly lost its order.

She forced herself to take a deep breath, and managed to control her breathing evenly before she managed to control her breathing.

The young man also noticed her presence, glanced at her lightly, and then turned his gaze away.

Lu Lulu blushed slightly.

Anyone who can only see it in this kind of painting, even if he gives him such a cold glance, will not feel the sting and dissatisfaction of being offended at the first time, but will only feel that there is a thin layer of ice and snow Sprinkled on the tip of the heart, it is cold and numb.

She walked up to the man and looked at the display board——

It is now 1 hour and 20 minutes since the eerie broadcast started.

Of the 1990 players in the town, only a dozen or so have left one after another, which is not a lot.

Lu Lulu couldn't tell if it was worth being happy.

All she knew was that she was more confused.

So she tried to talk to the young man beside her: "...how are you?"

Nanzhou looked at this strange player.

He will not take the initiative to chat with others, but when others take the initiative to talk to him, he will respond seriously.

He said, "Hello."

Lu Lulu: "..." I was flattered.

She thought that this cold and handsome beauty would just walk away.

She hurriedly asked: "Did you also see what the person on the channel said? He wants us to leave Squirrel Town immediately..."

Nan Zhou: "Yes, I saw it."

Lu Lulu: "...what do you think?"

Nan Zhou didn't even stutter: "If it were me, I would leave."

Lu Lulu: "...Huh?"

Nan Zhou looked into her eyes.

His eyes were dark and deep, but also clear, with a sense of contradiction between the unpolished and the rich and colorful.

He said, "Do you still remember today's update?"

Lu Lulu nodded.

Nan Zhou said: "The system suddenly modified the rules, and players are not allowed to capture dungeon creatures. Then, another way of thinking, is there a player who has already caught the creatures in the dungeon? Is it..."

As he spoke, he cast a faint glance into the town.

Two simple sentences, plus a look, made Lu Lulu suddenly realize, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Nan Zhou turned back, looked at the display board, and wrote lightly: "...in a few hours, something terrible may happen here."

Lu Lulu didn't want to admire the beauties any more, so she hurriedly thanked her and ran back to their foothold.

But when she was about to arrive at the destination, she suddenly thought, since that man made up his mind to leave, why would he stay there alone?

If he wanted to share his thoughts with others, wouldn't it be better to turn on the mic directly on World Channel?

However, this thought only flashed through her mind.

It can be regarded as pointing out the maze for her, and I still doubt him, which is really shameless.

After she went back, she immediately parroted Nan Zhou's words to the other three sisters.

It wasn't until she finished speaking her thoughts that she realized that the complexions of the three of them were not very good.

Shao Qian asked Lu Lulu to watch World Channel.

She said worriedly: "Everyone's speculation is similar."

really.

At this moment, many players are having heated discussions on the reasons for the update.

Glacier-Zhang Hai: Why is there such an update?

Horned Dragon-Zeng Qiang: Is there really someone so stupid that he would grab those ghost things in the dungeon and put them in his backpack?

Dayan-Ge Yanfei: Do you want to die?

Dayan-Ge Yanfei: Besides, it’s useless to capture duplicate creatures, right?Can they still listen to the player's command?

Go home-Li Junxing: If it doesn't work, maybe they want to dispose of it in Squirrel Town?

It has to be said that the world channel has greatly expanded the communication that everyone could only keep in the team.

...Of course, with more information, all kinds of disputes and thoughts are spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Someone began to persuade the players in Squirrel Town to stay.

Platinum player-Mo Chaoyong: It's too worrying.

Platinum Player-Mo Chaoyong: How could someone do such a vile thing? Besides, after the dungeon creature is brought out, if it is counted as a "prop", it may not be useful in the transfer station.

Platinum Player-Mo Chaoyong: I am in Squirrel Town.Anyway, I'm not going to leave because of a plausible possibility.

...Of course, Mr. Mo, who made the above high-level remarks, did not notice that next to the name of every speaker on the World Channel, there will be a small, inconspicuous, decorative icon to mark his position.

Next to the person's name is a steel knife, not a Q version of a squirrel head.

In other words, this person is actually in the ancient city-state.

It can only be said that his mind is vicious enough.

The disadvantage is that the application of the World Channel is not proficient enough.

Some players also have the same idea as this Mr. Mo:

——They wanted the people from Squirrel Town to stay.

Anyway, they don't need to bear the consequences of releasing the copy creature.

If some players in Squirrel Town were killed by copy creatures, then everyone would be happy.

This is an act of downsizing that doesn't require their dirty hands. They can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting for the ranking to rise, which will be beneficial without any harm.

At this time, the anxiety of "Little Rose" in Squirrel Town recursively spread in silence.

Even Chen Meibing, who was strongly opposed to leaving at the beginning, stopped talking.

Shao Qian looked around: "How about it, shall we go?"

No answer at this time.

What really prompted them to make up their minds to leave was the reminder that popped up again half a minute later:

Cube Ark - Li Yinhang (Li Bank): Players who are currently in Squirrel Town, please leave the town within 6 hours.

……

"Clanging Little Rose" chose to leave and went to the nearest home island to take refuge temporarily.

When they walked towards the beach, the evacuation team was several times larger than Lu Lulu's impression.

The abacus in everyone's mind is operating in almost the same way at the moment:

They are just changing places to rest, or to do business.

If there is nothing to do after 8 hours, then they can come back.

Everyone has only one life, and they don't want to be thrown in this fairy tale castle in a daze.

When walking out with the big flow, Chu Wei called Shao Qian timidly: "Sister Shao."

Shao Qian: "Huh?"

Chu Wei: "If that 'cubic ark'... really wanted to kill us, why did it notify in advance?"

... Shao Qian was stopped by the question.

She faltered for a while: "Maybe..."

Chen Mei on the side said coldly: "Perhaps, it's not us, but those people they want to plot against."

She raised her finger.

Several girls looked up and found that under such circumstances, there were actually players entering from outside Squirrel Town against the flow of people.

Those people all looked fierce and muscular, looking at their surroundings vigilantly, studying and memorizing the layout of buildings in the town.

Obviously there is a conspiracy.

Shao Qian was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized.

Some players with teammates did not immediately update their pages.

They can get relevant information through their teammates' updated pages.

If the 'Cubic Ark' really caught the copy creature, and really planned to release it in Squirrel Town, these people could of course use the unupdated warehouse to catch it back.

Before this, no one dared to risk their only life to catch copy creatures.

They ran into it, and it was too late for them to run.

Now, someone has practiced it and succeeded, and they will naturally want to try it again.

A clone creature in hand might be a powerful bargaining chip.

"It's really beautiful."

Chen Meibing said: "If the thing caught by 'Cubic Ark' is strong enough, and it's not monsters like werewolves and zombies that can be subdued by strength alone, these people... are here to die in vain."

As she said that, she glanced at those burly men who looked fearless.

...The arrival of these people is also in the calculation of "Cubic Ark".

Perhaps, "Cube Ark" didn't intend to kill their lower-level salted fish players at all.

They want to use the copy creature gimmick to wipe out the top players.

Chu Wei couldn't think of so much.

She was so scared that she stuck out her tongue: "Go, go, it has nothing to do with us anyway."

When she was about to leave Homeland Island, Lu Lulu couldn't help but glanced at the position of the electronic display board.

... Two hours have passed.

The number of people in the town dropped sharply to less than 1000.

And the real-time number of people is still beating and changing, steadily decreasing.

As for the male beauty standing there, she has long since disappeared.

Lu Lulu felt a little regretful, turned her face away, and refocused her attention on the World Channel.

...Just now, Li Yinhang reported again.

Lu Lulu couldn't help but be dazed:

It's just a piece of information that is updated every 5 minutes, which can turn the whole pond upside down...

--at the same time.

The "Longtan" trio who originally planned to have a good rest and sleep for three days and three nights in Rudu are now more energetic than each other.

Luo Ge and Qi Tianyun, who had just updated the interface, were staring at the screen with good eyes.

"...day." Luo Ge's expression was a little distorted, "What kind of plane are they flying?"

As he spoke, he reached out and pushed Sun Guojing, who was sleeping aside with his eyes covered: "Old Sun, are you still sleeping?! They're going to release that monster!"

Sun Guojing lazily said: "Let it go. I'm in Rudu now. Besides, the copy is over, can it still kill me?"

...that's true.

But Luo Ge was still not at ease.

He suggested: "How about we contact them on World Channel? Ask them what they want to do?"

"You don't care about him!" Sun Guojing jumped up, picked up the pillow and smacked Luo Ge's head vigorously, "What are they trying to do? It's none of our business?"

Qi Tianyun also agreed with Sun Guojing: "Old Sun is right. Besides, if it is revealed that we are insiders, we will inevitably get into trouble. Rust is no worse than Squirrel Town. There are many people and miscellaneous eyes. There is no need to ask for trouble."

Sun Guojing and Qi Tianyun looked at each other and gave each other a high-five.

Sun Guojing put on the pillow towel again and fell asleep.

...Actually, Sun Guojing didn't think so much.

Nanzhou Jiangfang Li Yinhang saved his life, even if they really wanted to take all the players on that island, he would not make troubles to slow them down.

Besides, where are they like that?

The author has something to say:

The player Nanzhou used seduction (involuntary passive skill), the effect is outstanding
