Forced to bind with escape game NPC [unlimited]

When other players were faced with the harm of inchworms to plants, Lu Qi, the assistant of No. 97 gardener Qi Anqi, asked her if he could be her CP now.

Although Qi Anqi knows that the CP in this game is far from the real boyfriend and girlfriend in the eyes of the players, and some are even just partnerships, but she still inevitably feels twisted when she hears this question.

"Why?" Qi An asked in a low voice.

"I want to stay by your side. There is a very different feeling when I'm with you. It's different from the players I've met before." A kind of light gray, like a circle of ripples rising from the surface of a calm sea, "Sometimes I vaguely think of some forgotten things."

Qi Anqi was silent for a while, then looked away: "I understand."

From the very beginning, she rejected the forced matching setting of this game, but what if the opponent is not a player but an NPC?

Or rather, the man in front of him...

She saw Lu Qi's eyes light up for a moment, but she still asked persistently: "Do you agree?"

Qi An nodded, and said the next sentence with an inexplicable guilt: "But I have to guarantee that we will meet again in the future."

Lu Qi seemed to ignore this sentence, he looked at the taller and denser plant again: "Just in case, let's check again."

So this dexterous man, as unpredictable as a feline, jumped onto the branch again.

Qi An chirped: "..."

When the sky darkened, the climate was already a bit stuffy, and the newly drawn branches of the original tender color were faintly deepening.

Although today's pests are larger than those of the previous two days, unexpectedly there is no attrition, and the plants of the six players survived until the night in good health

No. 91 was the last player to discover the inchworm, and the advantages of seeds with different prices were also reflected at this time. More than half of his plant leaves were severely eaten, but they almost grew back in the evening, and their self-healing ability was better than other plants. All must be strong.

Girl No. 94 is small in stature, but her skills are not simple. She dodged the silk thread of the inchworm and almost killed her with one blow.

Man No. 96 was disturbed by CP's exit and was slightly injured. He even bought a bottle of expensive fertilizer from the beetle to save the plant. The middle-aged man No. 98 relied on his knowledge of this bug to keep his own plants.

Shi Yi is still easy to deal with this kind of bug, he is not as quick to detect it as Qi Anqi, and he can deal with it faster than others.

A gardener who had worked hard all day encountered a beetle on his way back to the greenhouse to rest.

"Oh, it seems that the gardeners are working hard." Seeing the players, the beetle rubbed its slender limbs and praised them seriously.

It looked even bigger than yesterday, the hard shell was shiny, and it seemed to be much harder.

"Where are you going?" Number 91 asked. He looked up at the beetle and found that it was more than a head taller than him.

The beetle shook the tentacles on its head leisurely, and replied naturally: "Of course it's going out for activities."

The case was solved. The players worked hard to catch the pests during the day, and the beetles rested in the greenhouse. At night, the players worked hard all day, but the beetles went out to play, so the players could not see the beetles in the greenhouse at night.

"You're not going to steal the plants we've worked so hard to raise, are you?"

The other players looked at Shi Yi who said this in unison, only Qi Anqi was still staring at the beetle.

Under the effect of dreamy eye drops, she saw the beetle blink its eyes a little guiltyly, and then put the middle pair of thin limbs on its waist: "What are you talking about, gardener, I am such a bug ?"

"Who knows." While Shi Yi was talking, a sleeve arrow suddenly appeared on his wrist, the arrow was wound and shot towards the beetle.

Neither the beetle nor the players expected this change, but the beetle just opened the sheath and stopped the arrow. The metal arrow made a bang on its shell, but left nothing behind. scratches.

"This gardener, how can you attack the Janard who provides you with a rest in the greenhouse?" The beetle hooked the arrow with a thin limb, then crumpled it like a plastic toy and threw it on the ground.

This surprised many players. After all, it was the weapon that the first player picked up, and it was so easily destroyed by this beetle.

He thought Shi Yi would do something else, but he withdrew his sleeve arrow and apologized: "I'm sorry, I was impulsive."

"Hey, the current gardeners." The beetle sighed indifferently, spread its elytra, and flew towards the distance.

And the players who stayed put came to a conclusion: this beetle is strong.

Seeing the beetle flying away, Qi Anqi looked away.

After returning to the greenhouse, she said to herself: "Did I think wrong?"

"You want to destroy it too?" Lu Qi asked aloud.

Qi Anqi looked at Lu Qi in surprise: "What's going on with this 'also'?"

Lu Qi looked in Shi Yi's direction: "When he made a move, I could feel that he really wanted to kill that bug, but he gave up soon."

"I did have this idea." Qi Anqi admitted.

From the beginning, she thought very clearly that the task of this game is not to feed the plant with something in the mouth of the beetle, but to "protect potted plants from pests" promulgated by the system. The beetle looks like an NPC guiding the player, but it cannot be ruled out that it is also One of the pests that players need to guard against.

But just now, Qi Anqi also gave up this idea, because the bug was obviously not a level that the player could easily eliminate and get out of it.I am afraid that Shi Yi also noticed this, and then tested the strength of the beetle.

Even if it was attacked, it didn't get angry, just like a human being bitten by a bug.

"I can destroy it." Lu Qi said.

"That's right, I also think it's not simple..." Qi An raised her eyes, "What did you say?"

"Do you need it?" Lu Qi asked.

Qi An looked at him for a while, then shook her head, she felt that she needed to think about it again, an apparently harmless little game shouldn't set an impossible task.She might be thinking in the wrong direction.

***

Because it was summer, and it was dawning early, the players who came out of the greenhouse clearly felt the scorching heat coming.

Compared with the outside, the greenhouse is like a cool air-conditioned room.

"It's so hot, it's so hot." At this time, the beetle also came back, and went directly into the greenhouse without even talking to the players.

"As expected of a bug, one moment is afraid of the cold and the other moment is afraid of the heat." Someone complained in a low voice.

Qi An looked at the sky, the sun has just risen, and the temperature is already not low, obviously it will be even hotter in a while.

Just like yesterday, the soil basins No. 95 and No. 99 are no longer there. It is unknown whether this is a game setting or a beetle.

But Qi Anqi has more important things to do than thinking about such things.

She looked towards the woods in the distance and asked Lu Qi, "How likely do you think we are to move the plants there?"

Lu Qi didn't ask the reason: "You don't need us, I can do it by myself."

Qi Anqi looked up at the plant that was already three or four times the height of the pot: "..."

In the end, Qi Anqi still didn't ask Lu Qi to do this. She wasn't sure if there would be any other insects attracted to them in those giant trees. It was relatively safer here.

While the players were carefully observing whether there were any abnormalities in the leaves and trunks, Qi Anqi took out an item from the satchel: Qingquan of Wish.

Wish Spring looks like a colorless liquid in a round glass bottle with a white label on it, but just like its name, it can be used to make a wish, and the effect of the liquid will be determined by the user. Wish decides.

Qi Anqi took out a pen and wrote a few words on the label, and then these words became printed characters, just like the original label, but the color of the liquid did not change.Immediately afterwards, Qi Anqi opened the bottle cap and poured the liquid down along the roots of the plants close to the soil.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, during which only a few cicadas came to try to suck the sap, and they were all driven away.

The attention of girl No. 94 has been tense, she really wants to break into the top [-] and get props.Due to her innate reasons, her force value is not high, but she is dexterous enough to save herself from danger in the dungeon many times, so she also relies more on props.

The scorching sun made her sweat a thin layer, but she dared not relax.The plants have grown so large that it's easy to overlook potential damage by simply sitting in the shade of the leaves.

"Sister, it's too hot. Our plants will be fine." It was her "sister" who was talking to her. her.

"Probably not." She touched the dry and hard soil, which was almost about to crack, and she was not sure.

The middle-aged man No. 98 is also worried about the harm of this hot weather to plants. He has planted potted plants at home and knows that it is best to avoid sun exposure in this hot weather, but obviously there is no place for them to shade.

"How can this be..." He was halfway through his words, and then he saw a big umbrella on the plant of the girl number 97 next to him.

This umbrella looks like a large parasol for some outdoor workers, but it is white, and even seems to be made of paper, but it barely covers the plants below.

Is it a prop?

At this time, No. 91 had rushed back to the greenhouse, and he asked the beetle for water.

"Water? My water is not cheap." The beetle yawned.

"How many points? I'll buy it!" No. 91 replied.

The beetle rubbed its limbs and showed a satisfied smile.

There are a lot of props for picking up memories, and it is not very difficult to prevent the plants from being scorched.

"Have you thought about how to deal with that beetle?" asked the girl with black hair and curved eyes.

"I haven't thought of it yet." After arranging the props, Shi Yi jumped down from the branch and clapped his hands.

"I seem to think of a direction." The girl looked at him and said.

……

While other players were coping with the scorching heat, Qi Anqi and Lu Qi escaped the heat under the shade of trees.

She poured concentrated water on the plants when it was just dawn, and made this big umbrella with the origami she got in the last dungeon.To be honest, she never thought that a small piece of paper could become so big, and the effect was surprisingly good.

After today, half of the game is over. Leaning on the tree trunk, she watched the tall man No. 91 trotting back from a distance with two buckets of water.

"He actually wants to water the plants in such a hot day?"

Qi An looked at the middle-aged man No. 98 a few meters away, and these words came from his mouth.

"Can't we water this kind of day?" Lu Qi's question drew Qi Anqi's attention back.

Qi An shrugged: "I have indeed heard the saying that watering plants under the sun at noon in summer is equivalent to blocking a person's nostrils and pumping air into his lungs."

Lu Qi waited seriously for her to finish her sentence.

Qi An chirped: "But... according to this, if there is a sudden heavy rain at noon in summer, wouldn't all the plants die suddenly?"

Lu Qi: "..."
