Devil's Playground

"There is no requirement to enter the inner city in the rules of the game field." Lin Yu said, "As far as I know, quite a few people would rather face the monthly battle royale day than enter the inner city. Most of them have entered the inner city like you, and then managed to escape back."

"The inner city is very dangerous, real danger." Joe was expressionless, but his eyes were a little blurred, as if he was thinking about something, "In the game field in the outer city, even if we die again, we still have a chance to be resurrected, but after entering the inner city , but such opportunities will not always exist.”

"Are you afraid of death?" Lin Yu asked suspiciously.

"Of course not." Joe raised the corners of his lips, "It's better to die than to be locked in a cage for the rest of my life."

"I agree with your point of view, but I'm not satisfied with your explanation." Lin Yu narrowed his eyes, "Show me some sincerity, Joe."

Qiao smiled, glanced at the other three people one by one, and then said: "Only by entering the inner city can it be possible to leave here and regain freedom."

Lin Yu immediately showed such a clear expression, Conch and Lily were both taken aback.

"Can we still leave?" Lily blurted out and asked with surprise in her eyes.

"In theory, yes." Joe nodded slightly.

"Theoretically? Does it mean that the conditions for leaving are very harsh?" Lily asked, "Don't be tricky, tell me quickly, how do you want to leave?"

"Turn on the merit system and obtain the rank of colonel or above, and then you can pay survival points to buy your freedom." Joe replied concisely, "The higher the rank, the less survival points are needed. The ranks of major, lieutenant colonel, and colonel The price is almost sky-high, and the highest level general only needs [-] survival points."

"One hundred thousand or nothing?!" Lily gritted her teeth.

"It is much easier to earn survival points in the inner city than in the outer city. Although the cost is relatively higher, it is indeed not a number that will make people despair." Qiao said solemnly, "Of course, the merit value is also It’s not so easy to obtain, after being promoted to the rank of non-commissioned officer, you can only go to a specific game field to get meritorious rewards, and such game fields are the kind where you can’t live again after you die.”

"Wait, where did you find out about this, who told you?" Lily asked.

"No one," replied Joe, "you can find it out of the Playgrounds you can find anywhere, if you go into the inner city."

Lin Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, "That is to say, this is not a secret at all, it was just concealed by our Mr. E."

"He concealed a lot of things." Joe took a deep breath, "But in comparison, although he has many eccentricities, he is more 'benevolent' than administrators in other districts."

"What does this mean?" Lin Yu and the other three were taken aback.

"The managers in other districts will not ask you if you want to be resurrected when resurrecting you, and they will not tell you what you will face after resurrecting. They will directly throw people into the game field, and wait for you to escape. Today, I realized that everything is just the beginning of the nightmare and not the end." Joe narrated indifferently, "I have seen toys from other districts in the inner city, most of them were ordinary people, and their causes of death were also different. It's such an accident, it's far from our side where everyone deserves to die, and death is not a pity."

"What did the note say? Will we be sent back to our original world after meeting the conditions, or will it just say that we will be free?" Lin Yu asked the question he was interested in.

"There is no mention of returning, only that you can leave the playground and be free." Joe replied.

"Wouldn't this freedom be the freedom of death?" Lin Yu asked.

"Maybe it is." Joe shrugged.

"Even if it is, it's still a hope!" Lily clenched her fists excitedly, "Ahhh, I finally have the motivation to keep fighting!"

"The reason why hope exists is to create disappointment." Lin Yu poured cold water on her.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I'm used to the double sky of fire and ice from hope to disappointment!" Lily raised her chin disapprovingly, "No matter what you think, anyway, I will enjoy this hope!"

Yang Jin didn't intervene.So far, he still feels that his resurrection from the dead is not real, as if he is just having a strange dream, and he may wake up from the dream anytime, anywhere.Rather than sitting here discussing the illusory future and seeking the freedom that humans have never obtained, he wants to do something practical, such as finding a place with a bed to spend time with Lin Yu alone.

To Yang Jin's slight surprise, Conch, who had always been as loud as Lily, was also silent, her lips were tightly pursed, and I was full of displeasure.

But Conch didn't say what he was unhappy about, and just looked at everyone coldly, until Lily excitedly proposed to have a big meal at the restaurant in the Portal Square——

"Your treat?" Conch asked maliciously.

"I...even if I treat you, I won't treat you!" Lily changed her words in time, "Of course it's AA system!"

"Forget it." Lin Yu said, "I still have things to do, and I don't want to waste my survival points—by the way, do you have any legal equipment that you can't use?"

"For your friend?" Lily rolled her eyes, "Yes, but..."

"Make an offer." Lin Yu said immediately.

Seeing Lin Yu's bluntness, Lily hesitated to open her mouth, hesitated for a moment, took out a long and thin stick from the memory, and pushed it in front of Lin Yu, "Forget it, I will borrow it from you, wait for him Give it back to me if you get a better one."

"Only one?" Lin Yu picked up the stick and asked dissatisfied.

"I'm not like you, I store all the junk in the storage!" Lily pouted, "I have already replaced other trash with survival points, and this wand is the first loot I got in the game field. , otherwise it wouldn’t have stayed until now.”

"10 survival points, can you sell it?" Lin Yu asked.

"I told you to lend it to you!" Lily stared.

"I don't like to borrow or owe favors, either give me or sell me." Lin Yu said expressionlessly.

Lily raised her fist angrily, but after swinging it back and forth twice, it finally landed on the table, and at the same time shouted angrily: "I'll see you off!"

"Thank you." Lin Yu flipped his hand and put away the wand.

Joe knocked on the table and said with some displeasure: "I didn't come here to exchange equipment with you."

"I have a pair of MT gloves in my collection. Do you want a conch?" Lin Yu took out a pair of black leather gloves as if he didn't hear Joe's words, and threw them at the conch.

Conch hurriedly reached out to catch it, and cried out in surprise as soon as he grabbed it, "The grip strength has been strengthened by 10%, and it can be used as a fist glove in a critical moment—yes! Of course!"

Qiao looked at Lin Yu speechlessly, and finally raised his hand as a sign of surrender, allowing them to continue running wildly on the road that digressed.

Lily yelled in dissatisfaction, "If you have any good things, share with me, I am the only lady here, the only one!"

"You can give up this one and only one, really! It only takes 1000 survival points for sexual transformation!" Conch's mood improved a lot, and while putting on the gloves on her hands, she sprayed venom on Lily.

"How do you know so clearly? Have you consulted?" When it comes to the skill of poisonous tongue, Lily is not inferior to Conch.

"Give me enough!" Joe's endurance finally reached its limit, "I am the one who rents the lounge. If you don't plan to share the cost, then shut up and listen to me!"

"Don't get excited, don't get excited!" Lily straightened her body quickly, putting on the appearance of a good student.

Conch stopped arguing with Lily, lowered her head, and focused on admiring the gloves.

"Are your medals still there?" Joe took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions.

"It's still there this time." Lily blinked.

"You even traded medals for survival points?!" Joe's forehead had veins.

"I don't know what's the use of that thing. Rather than keeping it to take up space, I might as well sell it for something more practical." Lily pointed her fingers shyly. "The family's expenses are very high!"

Joe took another deep breath, as if he was going to beat Lily if he didn't.

"The meritorious service system you mentioned is not going to be activated with this thing?" Lin Yu interjected and asked.

"After entering the inner city, the medals can be exchanged for success points or reputation points." Joe replied, "The first exchange will determine your development direction-entering the army or becoming a civilian. The former opens the merit system, and you can only exchange it with medals in the future." Merit points; the latter opens the reputation system, which can only be exchanged for reputation in the future. Turning on the merit system will face a more dangerous game field, but the benefits will also be greater, and some privileges that civilians cannot enjoy."

"If I make a wrong choice, can I change it?" Lin Yu asked.

"Yes, but the price is very high, and the previous merits and reputation will be cleared." Joe said, "If you want to leave this ghost place, don't sell those medals in the future."

"Can I buy it back?" Lily asked anxiously.

"Medals for meritorious service must be issued to me by the system, and medals obtained through transactions can only be used to exchange for prestige."

"Damn it!" Lily pouted depressingly.

"You should be glad that you still have one left, there is no one left." Qiao said indifferently.

After talking about the cooperation and the inner city, Qiao, Lin Yu and the others set a time to enter the game field next time, and they planned to go in together at that time, which can be regarded as the official start of cooperation.

Seeing that the important matters were all discussed, Joe didn't want to continue wasting his survival point to rent this lounge, so he got up and drove the four people out, letting them go back to their "homes".

But as soon as he walked out of the corridor of the lounge, a man's voice came from the side, "Hey, you just came out of the game field?"

The five people turned their heads and saw that there were several men and women in different clothes standing not far away. The leader was a young man in his twenties. He was pretty handsome with a smile on his face. .

"Gaul chicken, what do you want to do?" Conch spoke first.

The corner of the man's mouth was twitched by the conch, but he still said with a smile: "I invite you to dinner, do you want to go?"

"There's nothing to be courteous about, rape or steal!" Conch pouted.

"Go, or not?" The man looked like he was talking to Conch, but his eyes were on Lin Yu.

"No time." Joe refused bluntly, and then continued to walk towards the exit.

Conch made a face at the man, turned around and followed.

Lily sighed, "I'm sorry, Boss Gao, I really don't have time today, otherwise we would have eaten by ourselves."

"You?" The man raised his eyebrows and asked with a half-smile, then turned his gaze to Yang Jin, "It's rare to see you all appearing in groups, and there's a new face—a newcomer?"

"Talk slowly." Lin Yu gave Yang Jin a look and asked him to leave with him.
