Devil's Playground

That night, Conch appeared in the restaurant again. Although his expression was a little embarrassed, he seemed to be in a good mood.

Seeing that Conch never mentioned the matter of going to farm, Yang Jin and Lin Yu didn't show off their curiosity, and enjoyed the dinner cooked by Lily as if nothing had happened.But Lily, with her big mouth, quickly confessed her comforting process, which relieved Yang Jin and others from their doubts.

"He is just worried that he will have nowhere to go after leaving." Lily patted Conch on the shoulder, making his face turn red, "I just said, it's easier, hang out with me, my sister will support you!"

"I don't need you to raise it!" Conch argued in embarrassment.

"Then you raise me, I just want to taste what it's like to be raised!" Lily giggled strangely, "How about starting now, you give me this month's living expenses first? Not much, five Thousand... no, ten thousand!"

"Hey——" Conch's face was red, and her mouth was tongue-tied.

Qiao also seemed to understand Conch's knot, and sighed faintly, "Xiao Hai, I always thought that even if I left here, you would still be with me."

"I……"

Before Hailuo could answer, Lily hugged him into her arms and said triumphantly, "I'm so sorry, Hailuo is already mine!"

"It's just... um..."

Conch obviously wanted to get rid of it, but Lily strangled him, preventing him from finishing his speech.

After a period of real and fake frolicking, the five of them finally sat down to have a meal in peace, and by the way, discussed the serious thing to be done next—entering the game field.

According to Joe, they can rest for a few more days, and go to the game field after they are fully familiar with the environment here, but Lin Yu, Lily and even Conch feel that it doesn't matter if they are familiar with it, anyway, they don't plan to play here. For the hegemony game, they didn't even plan to live here for a long time. Their first priority was to improve their status as soon as possible and gather enough survival points to "redeem" themselves.

After discussing, they decided to take another day off and go to the teleportation hall in the central area the morning after tomorrow to start their second trial.

On the morning of the third day, the five people got up early or late, and finally got together before lunch.

But the game courts in the inner city are not supplied 24 hours a day like the hot water in the house. The number of game courts that can be entered every day is limited. It refreshes at [-]:[-] in the morning and [-]:[-] in the afternoon, and disappears when it is full. Like a bus, if you miss it, you can only wait for the next refresh.

So, the five of them simply got together and had lunch first, and then walked through the teleportation door in the house and leisurely came to the teleportation hall in the central area.

The layout of the teleportation hall is somewhat similar to the teleportation gate square in the outer city, except that one is indoors and the other is outdoors.

In the middle of the teleportation hall is also a four-story stepped high platform, but each floor has only four portals, the bottom portal is bronze, the second floor is jet black, the third floor is silvery white, and the fourth floor is golden yellow.

It’s not even one o’clock in the afternoon, and the portals are still the ones refreshed in the morning. The two layers of black iron and silver have failed, and only the empty door frame can be seen, but the bronze portal at the bottom and the one at the top. There are still gold portals left, one bronze is left, and two gold are left.

"Hey, like the silver and black iron game fields, it usually takes 30 to [-] people to start building. What if there are not enough people?" Lily asked curiously, looking at the idle portal.

Most of the game fields in the outer city are five-player games, and it is rare to encounter ten-player games. Only the once-a-month battle royale will there be dozens of people in the same game field.But in the inner city, even the lowest-level bronze game field has ten players, and the black iron and silver games have around 30 players.Only the gold game field is special. The pamphlet that Mr. E gave them did not specify the number of people. Humans themselves have not concluded any rules. They only know that five to 50 people are possible. Generally, the benefits are the most lucrative, but The danger is also the greatest, and there is often the possibility that you cannot be resurrected after death.

Regarding the situation Lily asked, it was actually explained in the pamphlet.In the mission hall on the second floor of the Central District, there is a permanent mission - "Fire Fighter". Whenever there is a game field that cannot gather the number of people within the specified time, the teleportation system in the inner city will accept the "Fire Fighter" The task people are sent to the game field to make up the number.People who are sent to the game field by the teleportation system can get an extra task income. When accepting the task, they can also indicate which game field they are willing to go to and which game field they do not want to go to. The teleportation system will respect these firefighting The choice of team members will never send a person who just wants to go to the bronze game field to make up for it to die in the black iron game field.

But sometimes even with the addition of firefighters, the game field still does not have the required number of people.At this time, the management system of the game field will allow those who have entered the portal to choose whether to continue or leave.If everyone chooses to continue, the game field will start to build when the number of people is insufficient, so that the game can start normally, but the final task income will not increase due to the reduction of the total number of people.

So, hearing Lily's question, Lin Yu immediately replied: "Page No. 11 of the "Inner City Survival Manual", read it yourself."

"Hello——" Lily rolled her eyes, but no one was willing to repeat it for her, so she could only take the booklet out of the storage, turn to the pages that Lin Yu reminded, and check it out by herself.

Perhaps many people are waiting for the teleportation gate to be refreshed at two o'clock. The teleportation hall is far more lively than the square outside. Although the hall is large in size, it is not crowded, but if you count it carefully, you will find that it is scattered. The number of human beings in the corners has exceeded one hundred, and there is a gradual increase.

"I suddenly thought of a question." Yang Jin looked at the portal in the center of the hall and said to himself, "How can we tell which game field in the portal belongs to which administrator?"

"It's not in the manual!" Lily flipped through a few pages and said with certainty, "It's definitely not in it!"

"I can't tell. You will only know when the game starts." Joe said indifferently.

Lin Yu was taken aback, and immediately asked: "That is to say, if we are unlucky, even if we swipe a hundred times, we can only enter the game field of the same administrator?"

"That's not enough." Joe replied, "During the second trial, every time you complete an administrator's game field, you will no longer be able to enter the portal corresponding to the administrator next time. For example, we entered Mr. E's game today. field and come out alive, when we come back next time, we will get a prompt that we cannot use the portal corresponding to Mr. E’s game field. Until the second trial is completed, all four administrators’ game fields have experienced After a while, the restriction will go away."

"Why is there such a weird setting?" Yang Jin asked suspiciously, "Can't you just hang a few E, N, W, S signs on the portal?"

"It is said that in the earliest days it was exactly as you wished. The image logo of the administrator would appear on the door frame of the portal, that is, rabbits, cats, octopuses and bears." Joe shrugged, "But soon, some of the administrator's game The playground is overcrowded, while other administrators' playgrounds are empty."

"Some administrators like to ask questions?" Lin Yu guessed.

"It's not a question of whether it's difficult or not, but..." Qiao smiled wryly, "Let's put it this way, some administrators like convulsions, and they may not always create a main task for convulsions, such as Miss Cat in District N, she I once gave a mission to capture a certain mouse on a planet. There is also an administrator whose brain circuit is simply unreasonable, that is, Mr. Octopus in W District, you don’t even know what its playground is. It’s hard to figure it out, let alone get it done.”

Lin Yu frowned, "You mean, their game field lacks logic, and there are often plots unfolded by gods?"

"Probably." Joe shrugged.

Several people were chatting, when Conch suddenly interjected, "Is that the third monk over there?"

As soon as Conch finished speaking, Lily also yelled, "Ah, Great Monk!"

The others followed Conch and Lily's eyes, and saw the third monk walking towards the center of the hall with several people. Looking at the direction, it seemed that he had just come out of a certain portal outside.

"Which one is the Great Monk?" Lin Yu asked casually.

"Wearing a black Chinese tunic suit, it looks like the one from the ascetic style." Lily introduced with a nympho.

Among the five people over there, only one person was wearing the clothes Lily had mentioned. His appearance was not very outstanding, but his face was soft and his mouth was smiling, which gave people a beautiful feeling like a spring breeze.

"You also have friendship with him?" Conch asked curiously.

"I hope so." Lily pouted, "Unfortunately, not long after I entered the game field, he entered the inner city, and I didn't see him a few times in total—hey, if he could have stayed longer in the outer city For a while, maybe I'll hang out with him."

Lily was still crazy here, and the group of three monks also noticed them.The third monk immediately approached the great monk, whispered a few words to him, and then walked quickly towards Yang Jin and the others.

"Are you going to enter the game field?" When he arrived in front of him, the third monk was as straightforward as ever.

"Yes, you too?" Lily took the initiative to answer.

"Yes, our boss leads the team himself." Sanhe said proudly, "Shall I introduce you?"

"Is it okay?" Lily immediately jumped up, looking at the third monk with bright eyes.

The third monk turned his gaze to Lin Yu and the others, "What about you?"

"No need." Lin Yu shook his head first, and the other three men also showed expressions of lack of interest.

Seeing that everyone didn't want to go there to make friends, Lily couldn't help but dissipated most of her enthusiasm, and muttered depressingly: "If you don't go, what's the point of me going there alone?"

"Don't go if you're not interested!" Conch said without thinking, "I'm not a movie star, so there's nothing to see."

"He's much more handsome than a star!" Lily shouted with wide eyes.

"What's so handsome, it's not as good-looking as taro!" Conch curled her lips in disdain.

"It's called temperament! Do you know what temperament is?!" Lily argued with Conch angrily.

The third monk was left aside with black lines all over his head, so Lin Yu had no choice but to take over, "Sorry, here is a fan of your great monk."

"I can see." The third monk squeezed out a sneer, and then asked, "You are also here for the second trial, right? Why don't you come with us, as it happens that we only came with five people, plus you five just come It is the number of people in the bronze field."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I think your invitation should be just your own wishful thinking, and you haven't asked for the consent of your great monk." Qiao's refusal was not tactful, "If you asked him, he would definitely not let you You make such an irresponsible offer."

"Ah?" The third monk was taken aback.

"The game field in the inner city is mainly based on the competition mode." Joe explained, "That is to say, if we enter the game field with you, the possibility of helping each other is very small, but the probability of being an enemy is greater-this is why you The reason why the boss only brought five people here is not that he couldn't find more people, but that he could only serve as cannon fodder if he found them."
