Devil's Playground

In the following time, Yang Jin fully realized that "going off topic" is the eternal theme of TC-style meetings.Several people first talked about the devil Rick from the strategic reserves, and then changed from the common sense of the game field to how to kill people. Although Joe pulled back the topic in time and warned them not to act rashly in the E area, and quickly entered the inner city as they wanted, but then As a result, the topic turned to the difference between the inner city and the outer city, until Lily's maid Lily came in and informed them that dinner was ready.

The ongoing topic came to an abrupt end. Lily jumped off the sofa first, and proudly told the four of them how much thought and survival points she had spent on today's dinner.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and let us see what you're asking us to eat!" Conch shouted impatiently.

"Of course it's something you guys will like!" Lily confidently led the four of them to the restaurant.

The table in the restaurant is full of seafood.In the middle is a plate of extra-large lobsters. The shells are as red as peppers, which makes people appetite.On the periphery of the lobster, there are plates of sashimi, shrimp, fresh shellfish, abalone and a pot of paella in a stone pot. On the outermost periphery are five big and red sea crabs, each on a plate, echoing the lobster in the middle .

"Are you still thinking about the crabs on Strange Island?" Lin Yu glanced at Lily and raised his eyebrows.

"Of course." Lily admitted frankly, "It's rare to be generous, and you must always give yourself some praise."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's start the table!" Conch took the first seat with the big-eared cat in his arms.

The others didn't say much anymore, they pulled out their seats and sat down at the dining table.

The maid Lily poured a glass of champagne for everyone, and then exited the restaurant obediently, leaving space for five people.

The conch immediately threw off its cheeks and ate it happily, and at the same time, it did not forget to share it with the big-eared cat in its arms.

Yang Jin couldn't help frowning, but none of the others raised any objections to this, and it was hard for him to reprimand him.Immediately afterwards, Yang Jin was in trouble because of the crab in front of him, and he didn't care to pay attention to other people's table manners.

Yang Jin grew up in the south, and seafood and fresh food are commonplace for him, but his family is rich and expensive, and he is very particular about basic necessities of life, and his grandfather prefers the old-fashioned way, and the older he gets, the more he likes to be serious about such face-saving things. , For example, you are not allowed to speak when you are eating, and the seats at the dining table are prioritized, and eating crabs must be accompanied by eight pieces of crabs.After the problem became a habit, Yang Jin found that he couldn't eat crabs anymore when he saw that there were only chopsticks and knives and forks on the table.

——Forget it, anyway, there are not only such things to eat.

Yang Jin didn't want to bite with his teeth like a conch, so he simply abandoned the crab and started to taste other seafood.

The other four obviously didn't have the habit of not talking while eating, and Lily even showed off how much effort she had put into preparing such a seafood feast—first, she had to order seafood in a smart store, and then went to a restaurant to process it, which cost a lot of money. The survival points are enough to buy a protective suit.

"By the way, it's time for us to prepare some protective equipment." Lin Yu raised the topic, and brought the crab in front of Yang Jin over naturally, "Apart from protective clothing, what else must we buy?"

"Protective clothing should be bought, but other armor should be considered after the battle royale. Right now, it is better to strengthen the attribute points, but don't just focus on one attribute. Pay attention to the balance." Joe Drinks He took a sip of champagne, "People in the inner city have glasses similar to protective goggles, but I haven't seen any store selling them, and I don't know what the purpose of those things is."

"Medicines should also be prepared. Basic healing potions, recovery potions, antidotes... and even poisons must be prepared. During the battle royale, we may not be together, and there may not be healing in the team. You have to Prepare yourself to be a doctor." While speaking, Lin Yu had already dismantled the crab with a knife, and pushed the crab meat that could be eaten directly back to Yang Jin.

"Taro, I found that you have great potential to be a wife." Lili noticed Lin Yu's little gesture, and immediately took it out as a joke, using it as a seasoning on the table.

"If you don't say a few words, no one will think you are dumb." Lin Yu replied sarcastically without changing his face, but he did not refute Lili's words.

As the beneficiary, Yang Jin thoughtfully didn't interrupt, grabbed a crab's foot, and tasted the crab meat.

The meal came to an end amid bickering and discussions, and Yang Jin finally found a chance to reveal his real name to everyone.

"Yang Jin and Elegy... don't seem to have any relationship!" Conch questioned vaguely while gnawing on the fruit brought by the maid.

"Nicknames are not directly related to names, that is why idiots like you insist on linking names with nicknames!" Lily seized the opportunity and mocked to her heart's content.

"What qualifications do you have to say about me, you are not the same!"

"I'm just too lazy to think of nicknames, I'm not the same as you!"

Conch's real name is Luo Hai, and the so-called conch is the reversed pronunciation of Luo Hai.Joe's real name is Qiao Kejie, and Jack Joe got it in the same way.These two nicknames are all conch, and they are naturally consistent in style.And Lily's real name is Fan Lili, and she became a nickname after removing her surname. From a certain point of view, her nicknames are less thoughtful than Conch and Jack Joe.

"By the way, what's the use of a nickname? Why do you have to use a nickname instead of your real name?" Yang Jin asked interjectedly.

"The idiot who created this game field directly uses the real name as the coordinates, and he can communicate, contact and even mail things if he knows the other party's real name." Lily replied, "Can you imagine what it would be like if your light screen was filled with endless junk messages? What does it look like? Can you imagine what it would be like if someone mailed you a dirty bomb that was about to detonate? That's why nicknames have to exist!"

"...Can't you set up a blacklist?" Yang Jin also felt that his head was full of black lines.

"I haven't heard of this function yet." Lily curled her lips.

——Why does it feel like an internal test game?

Yang Jin frowned secretly.

After eating and drinking enough, the five agreed to meet at the Portal Square at 3:[-] pm tomorrow and enter the game field again.

But when the four of them were about to get up and leave, Lin Yu suddenly stopped and said, "Wait, I forgot something!"

Then, Lin Yu told about the fact that royal jelly can increase attribute points, and then mentioned the pile of animal carcasses in the storage, and asked them what they planned to do with it.

Conch immediately took a step back and motioned for you to talk slowly.

Lily pursed her lips and complained depressingly, "Why do you say it, I also took some royal jelly, and I planned to eat it myself!"

Joe was about to speak, but was choked back by Lily's complaints. He took a deep breath before speaking again, "The time to enter the game field will be postponed for another day. Tomorrow, we will organize things first, and we will sell everything that can be sold."

"Did you forget one thing?" Yang Jin reminded, "We still have a task to complete."

"Ah, encyclopedia!" Lily clapped her hands suddenly.

"Encyclopedia" is a follow-up task triggered after completing the main quest of Strange Island. Unlike other tasks before, the "Encyclopedia" task does not need to be completed in the game field, but to go to the exchange office in the central area to receive a task item , and then get further mission instructions.

"What are your plans for the evening?" Joe asked, "If there is nothing special, let's go to the Central District to finish this task first."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!" Conch walked towards the door immediately.

More than an hour later, five people came to the exchange office in the central district.

After the game field last time, Yang Jin and Lin Yu had come here to exchange the two cards of the Knights Templar's shirt and the gold ring into real objects.Lin Yu "snatched" the jersey away after the redemption was completed, and only kept the gold ring for him.

The exchange office looks more like a self-service bank. After entering, there are small compartments, in which there are exchange machines that are very similar to cash machines, and the cards inserted are somewhat similar to bank cards.Of course, the bank card after taking out the banknotes can still be taken out, but the card that has been turned into an exchange will be swallowed by the exchange machine.

The five people were not in any order, each found a compartment and got in.

After entering the cubicle, Yang Jinqing activated the exchange device familiarly, and was about to proceed to the next step when he suddenly remembered what Lin Yu had said, so he hurriedly turned around and locked the glass door of the cubicle so that no one would take advantage of it and snatch it. robbery.

After making safety preparations, Yang Jin continued to operate the exchange device. After selecting the option "mission requirements" on the main page, he was asked to enter his real name, and a pupil test was performed. Then, the card slot for issuing items clicked open, and a pair of sunglasses Pushed out from the bottom up.

Yang Jin immediately remembered the goggles that Joe had just mentioned.

——Could it be this thing?

Yang Jin picked up the sunglasses, put them on his head, and found that this thing can be controlled with mental power, but there seems to be something missing right now, as soon as he drove it, he got a prompt of "unable to use".

Taking off his sunglasses, Yang Jin found that the display screen of the exchange instrument had returned to the main page.

—Is this the end?

Yang Jin put the sunglasses into the storage, turned around and left the compartment.

Conch moved the fastest. When Yang Jin came out, he was already waiting outside, gesticulating wildly with sunglasses, apparently as confused as Yang Jin.

Lin Yu, Qiao, and Lili also quickly came out of the cubicle. After being reminded by them, Yang Jin and Conch turned on the light screen of the memory, and found that the progress of the task of "Encyclopedia" had become 30%. Goal changed from "go to exchange" to "buy encyclopedia".

"Where can I buy an encyclopedia?" Conch asked Yang Jin's question.

"Should it be a smart store?" Lin Yu replied in a guessing tone.

"Go and have a look." Joe turned around first.

There is only a corridor between the smart store and the exchange office, but the five people couldn't find the encyclopedia after arriving at the smart store, and there were no other places that sold things in the central area, and the five people were a little confused.In the end, Yang Jin came up with an idea, using his close relationship with No. 37 to see if he could get news from No. 37.

The place where I can get in touch with No. 37 is the rest room and the creature customization area. Since the rest room needs to be booked for money and the customization area can be entered for free, Yang Jin was pushed into the customization area by Lin Yu and others.

After getting in touch with No. 37, Yang Jin was depressed and learned that the "Encyclopedia" was to be purchased from the administrator, and the price was 1000 survival points. After buying it, he could get follow-up mission clues.What made Yang Jin even more depressed was that the customization area only sold customized creatures. Yang Jin had to go back to his residence first and connect to the sales system managed by No. 37. After completing the purchase process, No. 37 would mail the encyclopedia to him. in the memory.

Yang Jin left the customization area and told Lin Yu and the others the news, all four of them turned black without exception.

But Joe had already told them with certainty that the sunglasses they got were the only goggles that everyone in the inner city had.In desperation, the five could only return to their respective residences, bought an "Encyclopedia" from their respective administrators, and were told that they had to return to the Central District and go to the Science and Technology Hall for the final step of the mission.

Hearing that he had to walk back to the Central District on both feet, Yang Jin immediately remembered that he had accompanied a friend to the police station to apply for a single certificate on a whim, but was tossed about half of the city and ran back and forth, and could not help complaining, "Just Can't it be done in one step?"

"Yes!" No. 37 immediately replied, "As long as you spend 100 survival points to open a portal between your residence and the central area, you can complete the round trip within 1 second—oh, by the way, you need to pay more for each use." Pay another 10 Survival Point usage fee."

——That's not what I mean by "one step in place!"

——No, that’s not right, you guys are simply trying to extract survival points in different ways!

Under the anger, Yang Jin didn't know what to complain about.
