Forces of Temptation

Four hours after entering Squirrel Town.

A group of players who had nothing to gain, rested on a bench by the side of the road to rectify their spirits.

The four of them all exuded a strong sense of frustration.

One of the people with the spiked hedgehog hair irritatedly scratched his scalp with his fingertips, and cursed rudely: "Damn, I'm really aggrieved! I put a backpack and props out, and ten 'cube arks' I can catch him too!"

Another said: "Don't forget, there are restrictions in the five transit stations. If you can't use the props, you can't use them. Don't be ridiculous."

Hedgehog Head was very upset, after hearing this unkind words, he opened his mouth and was about to reply.

The only female player among them who had updated the system threw a stern glance at her and stopped the dispute from erupting in time: "Don't complain. She just told the time again. Now make a quick decision: should I find a place to rest first, or continue to look for it?" "

The result of the discussion is to persist and persist for half an hour.

If you can't find it, just rest.

They had no choice but to stand up unwillingly, pick a direction, and leave slowly.

The hedgehog head's complaints gradually faded away: "...the three of them belong to cats, and they can't be found when they hide?!"

……

At this moment.

The three cats were sitting in a row under the landscape of green plants trimmed in the shape of sika deer more than [-] meters away from their resting point.

Nan Zhou poked his head out to confirm their whereabouts.

Jiang Fang put his hands in the gap between his body and Zhi Guan, rubbed his chin lightly against Nan Zhou's hair, and observed the situation outside with him.

Nan Jixing jumped on Jiang Fang's head playfully, grabbed his hair with his little paws, imitated their movements, and looked out.

The two of them stacked together in harmony.

Confirm safety.

"Put down the stone." Nan Zhou turned around, picked the broken grass in his palm, and said to Li Yinhang behind him, "I am here, will I let you fight?"

Li Yinhang responded, and gently placed the stone with palm sweat on the edge of the grass.

The green plants of the sika deer are not very tall, so it is not suitable for hiding.

On the road just now, she almost ran into that wave of people, which made her sweat a lot.

Li Yinhang let out a breath, and just about to say something, he watched Jiang Fang pluck a strand of his silver hair away from Nan Zhou's thigh.

"I'm taller, and my hair is very conspicuous." Jiang Fang said sincerely, "Did I crush you just now?"

Nan Zhou groaned: "It's okay. You're not sinking."

When lying on the lap, it is still very pleasing to the eye.

... Li Yinhang felt that this scene was sloppy.

It's just a lap pillow, how come it looks like you've slept through it.

She rubbed her nose and wanted to do something serious: "Mr. Nan, how high is the price in the system?"

Nanzhou replied: "5000."

Li Yinhang: "What's your ideal price?"

Nan Zhou raised a finger.

Li Yinhang agreed: "Ten thousand? That's good."

This can top the income of a copy.

She is quite content with making money.

She was even a little afraid of asking too much and offending the system. The system would target them and manipulate their selected levels and assign them difficult levels, which would be more harm than good.

To catch this bug and ask for a compensation of 10000 points, Li Yinhang thinks it is reasonable.

Nanzhou calmly said: "100 million."

Li Yinhang: "..."

Jiang Fang gave a vague laugh, and nodded lightly taking the Anji Star that jumped into his palm as Nanzhou.

"what happened?"

Nanzhou saw Li Yinhang's dumbfounded expression: "I just raised the price. He can counter the price."

Afraid of attracting the attention of the group who had just left, Li Yinhang covered his mouth and tried his best to lower his voice and shouted: "...There is no one in the world who raises the price like you!!"

This is not a price increase, it is clearly provocative.

Nan Zhou frowned, very puzzled: "But you bargained with the innkeeper's mother-in-law in Zhijin City Walled, and you paid back so much, but you succeeded in the end."

Li Yinhang: "..."

... Boss is not good at this point.

He is particularly fluent in the fields he is good at, and he is particularly cognizant of death in the fields he is not good at.

Facing Nan Zhou's sincere gaze of "asking for an answer", she originally wanted to pat Jiang Fang on the arm, signaling Jiang Fang to go up and be Teacher Nan's teacher.

But recalling the awe-inspiring moment a few hours ago, Li Yinhang didn't dare to make a move, and only gave him a wink.

Jiang Fang understood, hugged the Antarctic Star, and explained it to Nan Zhou in a gentle voice.

Jiang Fang didn't start from the perspective of human sophistication.

He said: "Mr. Nan, the price of 100 million you set is enough to send us to the top of the standings."

Nan Zhou: "Isn't this very good?"

Jiang Fang: "The game system is equivalent to helping us cheat. Anyway, the left and right sides will lose the balance of the game, so it's better to sacrifice a rest point."

Nan Zhou pondered for a moment, then perfectly returned to his own logic: "I didn't stop them from bargaining."

Jiang Fang smiled: "Then what is our teacher Nan's psychological price?"

Nan Zhou said seriously: "I can't tell you."

Jiang Fang was very interested: "Why?"

Nan Zhou: "The planners of the game may be able to hear what we say. We must hold the bottom line and not expose our bottom price."

Jiang Fang shrugged his shoulders at Li Yinhang, expressing that he failed in persuasion and was helpless.

But he was greatly pleased by Nanzhou's cuteness, which was considered an extra gain.

Li Yinhang: "..."

If the game planner could really hear this conversation, he would probably be pissed off before exploring Nanzhou's bottom line.

But she was still a little uneasy.

"Are we...will we go too far?"

Li Yinhang was a little worried, and said: "With this incident today, we have attracted at least half of the attention of the entire server... Even if we really use this system bug to exchange for the points we want, the system and other players will pay special attention our."

Nan Zhou looked at Li Yinhang in amazement, as if he was worried about her very strangely.

Jiang Fang asked gently, "Why do you think so?"

Li Yinhang: "Think about it... There are so many players watching our every move. If we get too many points at once, they will soon find out that the system update 'Prohibit capturing copy creatures' , is directly related to the large amount of points we have obtained."

"There are still a lot of players who haven't downloaded the update yet. If they find out the effect of the bug, they may immediately throw themselves into the dungeon to catch bosses and dungeon creatures, causing a chain reaction and doing business with the system. Our advantage is not there It's..."

"It's a good worry." Jiang Fang said with a smile, "However, such a situation will not happen."

Li Yinhang: "Why?"

Jiang Fang: "It's very simple, two points. We have chips and we have time. Other players don't."

Li Yinhang was enlightened by these few words, and suddenly understood.

Yes.

For game planners and hosts, Nanzhou doesn't have much time left for them.

The patch that forced the player to update, the other party did not rush out.

8 hours is not enough for them to make up for it.

In their view, the "Cube Ark" team could have sent the door to the door of Squirrel Town when they found that they couldn't reach a deal and their oxygen was exhausted, and then they could directly choose a level to retreat, enter the dungeon, and then slowly update the warehouse.

Anyway, for "Cubic Ark", whether it is making a deal with the system, or leaving the boss in the town to harm other players, it is of great benefit to itself.

But other players who are greedy for the dungeon boss will not have this opportunity.

Even if they immediately understood what happened and entered the instance with the old system that could capture bosses, it would still take quite a while to go through the instance.

During this time, the system has plenty of time to catch up with new patches.

Besides, catching the boss is a narrow escape.

Even if they really have the ability to risk their lives to bring the boss out, however, they may just come out of the dungeon, and what they will receive is a mandatory update patch that has been fully promoted.

Jiang Fang said with a smile: "So, the benefits brought by this bug can only be enjoyed by one team."

Nan Zhou nodded: "Brother Fang is right."

At the same time, he turned to Li Yinhang.

"We're going to be number one anyway. At that point, it's hard not to be noticed."

Nanzhou's voice was very light: "... Yinhang, you have to get used to it as soon as possible."

The block in Li Yinhang's heart was broken away.

She gazes at the two and realizes for the first time how well matched they are.

Regardless of their personalities and appearances, the self-confidence in their bones makes their souls stand side by side with the same spirit.

She quickly got rid of the anxiety and said positively: "I will continue to post the countdown!"

……

This dungeon boss, which was originally forced to fly into the sky, was reduced to pork on the chopping board without dignity, and the two parties were forced to bargain based on its worth.

Although the copywriting of the private letter became more and more impatient in the later stage, in the end, he still managed to maintain a polite appearance, gritted his molars, and reluctantly reached an agreement with them.

When Li Yinhang counted down to the last 15 minutes and the system sent No. 13 private messages, the deal was successfully concluded in the tug-of-war.

It is worth 75000 points, and each person can share 25000 points on average.

Plus 3 A-level props.

However, judging from the meaning behind this number, it is obvious that the system is trying to suppress the anger.

Li Yinhang ignored its incompetence and fury, and happily said: "It scolded us three for two hundred and five."

Nanzhou glanced at Li Yinhang suspiciously, counted the points cards that had been credited, and said solemnly: "No. It's obviously [-]."

The points are entered into their backpacks in the form of point cards, because the system does not have the authority to modify their points directly.

At present, the initiative is all in the hands of "Cube Ark".

In other words, the system must give rewards first.

After they confirm receipt, they will manually update to the new version of the warehouse.

When seeing the newly added point cards and props in the warehouse, the three people in "Cubic Ark" had different thoughts.

Nan Zhou seriously hesitated for a moment, whether he wanted to be a hooligan, took the points, and refused to give the boss.

But they hold this boss in their hands. First, they don’t know how to use it. Second, it wastes a storage slot. Third, it will still be recycled after the system develops a corresponding patch.

So he happily clicked the warehouse update button, and watched the hideous and twisted monster disappear into his storage tank with a whoosh.

Probably due to Nanzhou's asking price of "100 million points", when Li Yinhang saw this 25000-point point card, the first sentence popped into his mind:

"……That's it."

But she immediately slapped herself in the heart.

This is 25000 points!

Li Yinhang, wake up! !

In order to distract herself, she hurriedly asked: "The players who are still looking for us in Squirrel Town... what should I do?"

With the things in hand, she began to worry about their personal safety.

Jiang Fang smiled and said, "They are easy to deal with. Just use up your card."

Li Yinhang: "...Huh?"

Nanzhou: "Yes, use it."

Li Yinhang couldn't think of the reason for the time being, so he simply listened to the boss, and quickly tapped and used the 25000 face value point card that had just been credited.

The 8-hour countdown seems to be coming to an end.

The attention of at least a thousand people were all focused on the player "Li Yinhang".

Therefore, her soaring scores and rankings like a rocket were captured by hundreds of people almost at the same time.

After a moment of dead silence.

The world channel is fried.

——They really have duplicate creatures in their hands!They are literally dealing with the system!I guessed right!

--right!How can there be game items that can increase points so much in Squirrel Town, a place where players are retired for the elderly?It's not a bucket of money casino!

——Can copy creatures be caught? ? ?

——Ahhhhhhh fuck!If I had known earlier, I would not have updated it!

Players in Squirrel Town with their own plans also received this message at the same time.

They had to face the cruel truth.

The truth is, they were slipped away as idiots.

Moreover, the countdown is for the system to see.They ran over here, purely because they were cheap.

They should have been furious.

But the reality is that after a brief debate, all the ambitious player teams who searched for the "Cubic Ark" in Squirrel Town made the same decision.

Withdraw from Squirrel Town.

——Go to the dungeon to grab the boss!

They are not alone in thinking this way.

Many players who were scattered in the other four rest points, whether they were players who had spoken in the world channel or not, made a unified choice at this moment:

into the copy.

Grab the copy creature.

And many players who have no courage to enter the dungeon to cause trouble, and use Squirrel Town as their permanent residence, are afraid of the "Cubic Ark" and other team members who are still on the island, so they decide to stay outside for a night or two to temporarily observe the situation .

"Cubic Ark" only needs one action to attract players who have never met them to follow them, dancing like puppets.

Squirrel Town has truly turned into a vacuum paradise where only the three of them live.

Jiang Fang could predict the actions of these players even without seeing them with his own eyes.

He only upgraded the warehouse system after he clicked to use the point card.

When the page was in an upgrade state and could not be controlled, he looked at Nan Zhou who was taking inventory of their newly added inventory with Li Yinhang, his eyes were full of gentle warmth.

According to his thinking, there is no need to return the door to the system.

Destroying the town and earning points are two things that are not contradictory.

Integral compensation is the price the system should pay for its own setting bugs.

Using bosses to eliminate some players is an effective means for them to rationally use system bugs and remove obstacles for the final victory.

Competitors do deserve respect and deserve to be treated in a fairer and more dignified way.

But... I have to say that a dead competitor is a really good competitor.

However, Nan Zhou has the final say on everything.

Anyway, those ambitious people who enter the dungeon rashly and approach the boss and dungeon creatures with a utilitarian heart will always die a lot.

The system will no longer allow their haggling.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fang straightened up gracefully.

Overall, he was in a good mood.

He glanced at the time and said with a smile, "You two, let's go to the central square."

Nanzhou: "What are you going to do in the central square?"

"The fireworks show at [-]:[-] p.m. in Squirrel Town is about to begin." Jiang Fang invited Nan Zhou, "We can go and celebrate."

Hearing this, Li Yinhang momentarily felt that something was wrong.

But exactly what was wrong, she couldn't tell.

So she didn't take it to heart.

Nan Zhou stopped what he was doing.

He called him softly: "...Brother Fang."

Jiang Fang's perfect smile froze slightly.

At the same moment Nan Zhou called out his name, he also realized what kind of flaw he had just exposed.

Nan Zhou looked straight into his eyes and asked, "How do you know that there will be fireworks at [-] pm every day in Squirrel Town?"

The author has something to say:

Nanzhou who bargained like Li Yinhang: ...so why can't the price be raised to 100 million?Is it negotiable anyway?
