Forced to bind with escape game NPC [unlimited]

"Ms. Jiaoli, where did you get this beautiful and fresh dead branch?" The giant unicorn raised its big horn and enviously asked the girl who was lying on a low dead tree and basking quietly in the sun. A round-headed beetle, its back shell exudes bright blue, reflecting a metallic luster, and if you look closely, you will find that it is the same species as the beetle in the greenhouse.

"It was given to me by Mr. Garnard, and it is said that he recruited many gardeners to help him plant trees. It was specially sent to me for the winter." Ms. Beetle said proudly, "He also promised me that , After winter, there will be a batch of fresh potted plants for our babies who have just climbed out of the tree, so that they can have a happy childhood."

The giant unicorn sucked a mouthful of resin and said, "You are so lucky to find beetles as good as Janard. But you have to be careful these few days, those woodpeckers have started looking for food for the winter again."

***

In the distance, on the huge lawn opposite the forest, the players were all limp on the grass.Just now, they drove off the last batch of unscrupulous locusts.

Just out of the greenhouse today, the "gardeners" all noticed some yellowed withered grass, and not long after that, a large number of locusts came from a distance.For two hours during the day, all the gardeners, including their helpers, help drive away the locusts to protect their potted plants from turning into food.

Finally, before the sky darkened, the locust swarm subsided, which also means that winter is coming.

The tall man No. 91 was the first to walk back to the door of the greenhouse. He pushed the glass door but did not push it.

"What's the matter? You don't even have the strength to push the door?" asked the bearded No. 96 behind him.

After three seasons, apart from the group of Qi Anqi and Shi Yi, only the rich No. 91 and No. 96, whose CP has left for a long time, remain in this small game with ten players.

"The door seems to be locked. If you don't believe me, come and see." No. 91 frowned.

No. 96 really didn't believe it, and pushed hard, but the glass door didn't budge.

Qi Anqi looked into the greenhouse through the thick glass, there was no insect shadow behind the counter, but she had no doubt that the beetle was resting in the room behind the curtain at the moment.

"It locked the door." Lu Qi stated.

Qi Anqi felt the temperature drop a little bit and said, "That beetle wants us to spend the night outside."

No. 96 knocked hard on the glass door a few times, and then called out the beetle behind the curtain. It walked sleepily to the door of the greenhouse, but didn't seem to want to open the door.

"What happened?"

In the eyes of the players, it is knowingly asking.

"You locked the door! It's getting dark, let us go in." No. 91 urged.

"Oh, gardeners, I lost the key. I can only wrong you to spend the night outside until I find it." The beetle looked like "I'm lying but what can you do with me", pretending to use its thin limbs I touched the part of the second joint, but there is not even a hole there, let alone a pocket, "Anyway, your plants will be fully mature in two days, why don't you take care of them outside during this critical period?"

No. 91 smashed the glass twice again: "It's so cold outside, take care of P, let me in quickly."

The beetle turned a deaf ear and turned its head to go back to sleep.Winter is the time when bugs need sleep the most.

"Shi Yi, are you going to blow up this place?"

This sentence made the beetle turn around again.

Player No. 96 watched in surprise as Shi Yi took out a prop, and then stuck it to a floor-to-ceiling glass window in the greenhouse.

"Open the door, or I'll let you spend the night outside." Shi Yi raised her eyes, her voice calmly warned the beetle.

The beetle looked at the object stuck to the glass window, rolled its eyeballs, swallowed, but did not move: "You gardeners still want to blow up my greenhouse, this, this is impossible!"

Now that the beetle said so, the players also understood that this arrangement of spending the night outside was also part of this mini-game.

However, the bomb/bomb still exploded.

After the loud noise, the surrounding grass was darkened, but the glass windows didn't even have a scratch.

"Look! Don't waste your time, wait until I find the key." The beetle glanced at the glass with lingering fear, obviously it was still scared just now.

"It seems that it is really not broken." Shi Yi ignored it, and said to himself with a troubled face.

Other players: "..." Is this the waywardness of having too many props?

"You, you still do things the same way regardless of the consequences, what if the beetle goes berserk?" the girl next to her complained.

"Did I often do similar things in front of you before?" Shi Yi asked abnormally.

Qi Anqi listened to this strange conversation and walked back to her potted plant without saying a word.

"It's starting to cool down." She took out a light down jacket stuffed in advance from her satchel, and put it on outside, which made her warmer. Looking at Lu Qi beside her, "Are you cold?"

"I'm not cold." Lu Qi looked up at the already sinking sky. His jacket was light and thin, and his chest was straight in the cold wind blowing night. Then his eyes slowly moved to Qi Anqi's face, showing a questioning expression. Means, "Are you cold?"

"A little bit." Qi An nodded.It seems that the fact that Lu Qi is not human has been hammered away, otherwise why is he not afraid of the cold.

As far as the eye can see, there are only potted plants and lawns of the players, and there is no place to stay warm overnight.

Lu Qi was silent for a while, and suddenly thought of something: "You are waiting for me here." Then he left towards the woods.

No. 91 and No. 96 soon returned to their potted plants with their assistants, only Shi Yi in the distance and the girl beside him were still talking.

Just like the change of time here, the temperature dropped sharply, and soon, the bearded "mother" of No. 96 couldn't hold on anymore. In the memory of No. 96, she was an ordinary person who had never participated in the game. Can't live.

Qi Anqi looked at the bearded man No. 96 who seemed to stand in place and struggled for a while, then suddenly jumped onto his own soil pot, and then broke off a few branches from his own plant.

He piled the branches in front of him and his "mother" and lit them with a match, and the bright flame instantly lit up on the lawn.

Just when the bearded man was proud, a gust of cold wind blew, and the fire that had just been lit was extinguished immediately.

That's right, for this world, this fire is similar to the light of a candle, and it will be extinguished with a little external force.

On the other side, Shi Yi was obviously not so embarrassed, he took out a prop that looked like an oil lamp, and after pulling a switch, the oil lamp emitted a dim yellow light.The girl beside him pointed in the direction of the other players, and seemed to say something to Shi Yi, then Shi Yi got up and walked towards them.

"My props can expel the cold. As long as I have one prop, you can bring your assistant to sit here. Do you want to think about it?" Shi Yi said to her.

Qi Anqi suddenly remembered the strange way Bran looked at her when she was charging other players in the last dungeon.It turned out that she saw the operation of picking up memories...

Qi An chirped: "..."

Seeing her silence, Shi Yi showed a smile: "No hurry, you can come again after you think about it."

Qi An chimed: "..." Familiar lines.

Afterwards, Shi Yi turned around and invited No. 91 and No. 96.

No. 91 agreed, but No. 96 chose to quit the game after repeatedly considering the situation of his "mother".

Fighting against those large insects and birds for several days in a row, with his "mother"'s physical condition, he couldn't spend the winter outdoors.Although his "mother" has been dead for a long time, even in the game, he can't let her be wronged again.

After No. 96 exited the game, Qi Anqi hugged his knees and leaned against the windward position of the soil basin, looking at the distant forest.

Not long after, she saw Lu Qi who came back. He was holding a bundle of branches, a piece of fluffy fur on his shoulder, and something wrapped in leaves in his hand.

He glanced at the four people sitting around the oil lamp in the distance, and then at Qi Anqi who was squatting here alone.

"He didn't let you go?" Although he spoke calmly, Qi An could hear a trace of dissatisfaction mixed in.

"He wants to charge me a prop." Qi Anqi looked up at him, "Besides, didn't you ask me to wait for you here?"

She saw that Lu Qi's eyes lit up like small animals, and then he piled the trapped branch on the ground.

Just as Qi Anqi was about to say that the fire might be extinguished, he saw Lu Qi pour some kind of liquid wrapped in leaves on it, and then asked Qi Anqi for a scimitar, the scimitar rubbed together and brought some kind of stone, It even set fire to the branch.Light and warmth spread.

The cold wind blew, but it didn't blow out the fire. Obviously, the liquid just poured on it played a role.

She didn't ask what the liquid was, but seeing the piece of animal fur that Lu Qi handed her, she couldn't hold back: "What is this?"

The fur is soft and comfortable to the touch, is ivory in color and retains warmth very well.

"I happened to meet a group of jungle sheep, so I picked one that was clean and shaved."

"Jungle sheep? Are there any sheep living in the woods?" It was the first time Qi Anqi had heard of it. "How big are those sheep?"

If the birds were that big, the flocks would be spectacular.And this tuft of hair is probably not painful to the sheep.

"It's about the size of a human being." Lu Qi gestured casually.

Qi Anqi paused with his hands wrapped in woolen knees.According to this, this piece of wool is most of the sheep's "fleece coat"... A picture of a sheep strolling leisurely in the forest being caught and shaved by the jungle hunter appeared in her mind.

Lu Qi didn't know what she was thinking, and asked, "Is it still cold?"

Just as Qi Anqi was about to speak, he heard him continue: "I saw a few jungle sheep on the way back. I can get some more wool."

Qi An chirped: "..."
