Striped Retriever

The small saw in his hand was the same as the trophy last time. Ke Chenlin held it in his hand for a while, then it fell apart with a bang, and then sank into Ke Chenlin's body.

Maybe it's because the body has adapted to this power, and this time there is no too much discomfort, Ke Chenlin wanted to use his phone to check his backstage, but inexplicably, before he opened the app, he felt that he had already understood points data.

The game earned 1500 points, and the background points were [-] more.

After opening it again, it was indeed the case, and there was a green button on the entered page. The button was clearly written with the words "Exchange Mall", which should be the place where human beings can exchange their abilities.

Ke Chenlin didn't go to see what was in the mall immediately because he felt that there were other people at home.

Very strange.

At a certain moment, Ke Chenlin felt that the building he was in was transparent, and he could see someone standing in his living room... It is not accurate to say "see", it should be said to feel.

Closing his eyes, he felt that everything around him had turned into nothingness, just like when the copy collapsed, and there were small light blue spots flowing and gathering to form everything he could perceive.

This building, the elevator, the people in the elevator, and even the trees at the gate of the community.

In the living room of his house stood two humanoid creatures coming from a distance of blue light spots.The two of them stood upright, quite far from the door of the room, and did not sit on the sofa.

Ke Chenlin hesitated for a moment, then pushed open the door: "Everyone, what's the matter?"

The two people standing in the living room are about the same height, about 1.8 meters, and they both look strong.

"Mr. Ke." The leader said calmly, "I hope to have a chat with you."

Ke Chenlin was stunned for a moment, because the 1.8-meter-tall man in front of him, who looked muscular and not small, turned out to be a woman's voice when he spoke.

The other party has a crew-shaven head, and there is a horizontal scar above the eyes. His face is probably used to the wind and the sun, and he can see that he has a good foundation, but even if he praises him, he can only say that he is handsome and wild.

The person who spoke understood what Ke Chenlin was thinking, coughed, and continued: "We are all Tinder game players, and we are also commissioners of the Special Management Office." As she spoke, she took out a policeman-like gun from her pocket. The card thing, opened towards Ke Chenlin.

In the photo there was a fair-white little girl with baby fat, her hair was tied up, and even a serious expression would not make people feel depressed.

Ke Chenlin looked at the ID photo in her hand, and then at herself.

"Look carefully, the eyes are still similar." The man sighed at this point, "Forget it, don't study it, my mother doesn't know me anymore."

"What do you guys want to do here?" Ke Chenlin asked, "Special Management Office? It sounds like some official organization."

"It's an official agency, and it's called the Special Management Office in China." Another person said, but it was a man's voice.

"Domestic?" Ke Chenlin was stunned for a moment.

"Most countries in the world have similar institutions, and the information is open and transparent, including your identity, Mr. Ke Chenlin." The lady said, reaching out to Ke Chenlin.

There were only two of them here, and their behavior was much more civilized than the previous batch.At least he didn't open the door to his house, and he didn't sit on Ke Chenlin's sofa without authorization.

"Hello." Ke Chenlin shook his hand and asked by the way, "What's your name?"

"It's on the certificate just now." The lady reminded him.

"Oh, I didn't look at it." He just paid attention to the face that was very different from the person in front of him now.

"Autumn in autumn, there is more than enough every year, more than autumn." The lady said.

"Wait, what?" Ke Chenlin's eyes widened slightly. He remembered that the red-haired girl in the first copy was named Qiu Yu, but she didn't look like the person in front of her.

Qiu Yu knew what Ke Chen was shocked: "That's not me."

"It's me." The man on the side also smiled and stretched out his hand, "Qiu Yu in the first copy is me, I haven't seen him for a while."

Ke Chenlin: ...

He began to wonder if he was really mentally disturbed, otherwise, don't rush into the game, and go make an appointment with a doctor?

"That's my ability to exchange." The man said, "Identity setting, you can check it on the app."

Hearing this, Ke Chenlin took out his mobile phone and clicked on the green exchange mall button.

The inside is like a game character page. Once you enter, you can add points to various attributes. There are physical fitness and protection, but no intelligence.Adding one point costs two points, and the full score is one hundred. After one hundred, you can probably upgrade.

As for the significance of the upgrade, Ke Chenlin estimated that adding a level would cost more points.

There is also a house icon in the lower left corner. When Ke Chen clicked on it, he saw the skill exchange page.The skills are exaggerated to the point of calling the wind and calling the rain, and there is a small box next to the temporary stop time, marked [available in the real world]

Ke Chenlin saw the [identity setting] card.

Most of the abilities here are one-time, and [identity setting] is no exception.This card needs [-] points to exchange, which is really scary expensive.

And its function, to put it bluntly, is to create a false identity for yourself, and you can freely create an identity background, and you can wear a virtual identity to enter the game. If you die in the game, the virtual identity will only be destroyed, and it will not have any impact on the person.

In contrast, players who use identity settings cannot obtain points from the game.

And the memory players in the game can inherit.

This seems to be a skill that can be used to familiarize yourself with dungeons and exercise courage, but it is too expensive.

After two games, he didn't count the 15 points given to him by the key props of the dungeon, but only [-] points were awarded to him in a serious game.

And this skill costs [-].

Ke Chenlin looked at the strong man in front of him, and really couldn't equate him with that vigorous red-haired girl.

"He was also in the last copy." Qiu Yu said.

"Yes." The man nodded, "You should have a profound influence on me, Mr. Black Goat."

Ke Chenlin snorted, "Are you that Miss Eld?"

"It's Mr. Antelope!" The man raised his voice.

"Oh, I thought you were Mr. Antelope, but..." Ke Chenlin suddenly didn't know how to continue, so he nodded at the man: "You understand."

Qiu Yu coughed twice again: "Can we sit down, please?"

"Okay." Ke Chenlin was not so against these two people, one was that the other party seemed to have an official status, and the other was that the two were polite enough.

The three of them sat on the sofa, and as soon as they sat down, Ke Chenlin asked bluntly, "What is the organization of that group of people who came to my house last time?"

"A secondary disease organization." Qiu Yu returned quickly.

Before Ke Chenlin could continue to ask, Qiu Yu fully explained the nature of the other party's organization.

The opponent's organization had a predecessor, and that organization's predecessor was once one of the best human alliances, formed by the strongest human players at that time.

At that time, humans had just discovered the existence of the Tinder game not long ago, and the official response was quick, but their understanding of the Tinder game was not as good as those experienced and old players.

But that organization didn't last long, and after stealing the extinguishing program, they were surrounded by Tinder Games.

"The relationship between this organization and their predecessors is basically the same as the gap between the Shu Kingdom and the Zhenger Eight Classics Han Dynasty." Qiu Yu explained, "This leader is the younger brother of the former No. [-] player, but he is not a relative. , I don’t know how many generations. It is true that his brother’s former friends followed him.”

"So he found me and knocked down the door of our house?" Ke Chenlin asked.

"Well, it's true that we didn't expect this to happen either." Qiu Yu scratched her head, her action was simple and honest with a bit of heroism.

Ke Chenlin looked very divided, and he didn't know how the Tinder game had polished this girl who originally had baby fat.

"We originally planned to observe first, and Mr. Ke, you also had the will to target the fire system. We don't need to come forward, we just need to help you covertly, but they disrupted the plan, and you may be more vigilant in the future." Qiu Yu explained, "After we discussed it, we decided that it would be better to make it clear."

"Do you think I will cooperate with you?" Ke Chenlin asked.

"Probably." Qiu Yu admitted, "I don't want to play any emotional cards with you, but if your goal remains the same, we can provide you with the greatest help."

"for example?"

"How much do you know about the fire system?" Qiu Yu obviously came prepared.

"I don't understand at all." Ke Chenlin said honestly, "Although you all say what I am... extinguishing the program? But I don't have any real feeling." It's just that I seem to have awakened my incredible perception just now, of course the latter point is No need to tell.

Qiu Yu nodded, and then began to explain the general conspiracy of the Tinder system to Ke Chenlin.

To put it simply, the so-called dungeon world was not created by the Tinder system. Ke Chenlin had long guessed this. After all, as a referee, he had too little control in the game.

If the dungeon is really part of the Tinder system, then Ke Chenlin shouldn't be able to die in the dungeon, because the Tinder system doesn't have the authority to kill him.

"Our so-called tinder system, you can understand them as a 'world', a 'world' that we can't see."

Ke Chenlin thought about it seriously, and then asked, "You mean something like a four-dimensional space?"

"Almost, but not to that extent." Qiu Yu nodded, "Their world is encroaching on our world, and those dungeons are a special area that appears when the two worlds compete for each other."

The so-called data is the energy of the world.For those dungeons, the player is an outright invader, but due to the pull of the two forces, the dungeon cannot directly kill the player, and can only rely on the power of "rules".

"Wait." Ke Chenlin interrupted, "Let me think for myself."

He took away the trophy for the first copy, and then got an extra [-] points.

If it wasn't for Ke Chenlin, these points should be recovered by Tinder Games, but the reward for their players is only [-] points per person.

With a total of eight players, even if the players don't die, Tinder Games can still get 4.

Players may also buy skills in the mall. Most of those skills are one-off, and Tinder Games is expected to make another wave of money.

This is really, I have learned the way of capitalists thoroughly.

"Why are all the players dead?" Ke Chenlin asked, he still remembered that as long as the players didn't accumulate enough points, the players weren't really alive.

"Because living people can't enter that kind of place." This time it was the man who spoke, "You can understand that the system spent very little energy to send us into the game, and we are responsible for charging and bearing the consequences."

"Bear the consequences?"

"Submit the answer to the referee, remember?" The man pointed to the sky, "The so-called answer is the key to cracking the dungeon, but once the cracking fails, you have to be punished, and the fire system should bear the price."

He didn't finish his words, but Ke Chenlin already understood.

The fire system should have been punished, but in the end the punishment was transferred to the players, and the players became scapegoats.

They, a group of dead people, were manipulated by the fire system to become slaves.And there is only so much they can get, it is really dead and has to be squeezed.

And the tinder system is the one that is purely profitable. It uses the creatures of this world to steal the energy of this world.

"As for the referee." The man glanced at Ke Chenlin, did not see any special expression on Ke Chenlin's face, and then decided to continue, "The referee is a puppet who is dedicated to their interests, but not the commander. They should And this higher level of leadership."

"Oh." Ke Chenlin didn't care about the leaders. In Ke Chenlin's eyes, they all deserved to die. "Then he was recalled urgently. Was it your handwriting?"

"Yes." Qiuyu admitted generously, "We must consider it from the perspective of human beings. We need the extinguishing program to be activated."

Ke Chenlin nodded without commenting on their behavior.

He was quite calm in his heart, neither sad nor angry nor bothered to debate anything.

After coming out of the dungeon, Ke Chenlin felt as if he had turned back into that taciturn dull gourd again.It's not that he has a heavy mind, on the contrary, he feels that his mind is in a half-empty state, and he doesn't bother to think about anything.

Ke Chenlin was quiet for quite a while. Qiu Yu thought that Ke Chenlin was bothered by their trouble making the Tinder system forcibly recall the referee, but after Ke Chenlin was in a daze, he turned to look at the man: "What is your name?" What's the name?"

"Lingyang." The man said.

"antelope?"

"The mausoleum of the cemetery, the sun of the sun." Ling Yang explained.

After he finished speaking, he smiled at Ke Chenlin again, and asked as if he wanted to get in touch: "How did Mr. Ke come out in the last dungeon?" He was bitten to death before he made it to the end.

"What is the key evidence?" Ling Yang asked again.

Ke Chenlin thought about it for a while, and found that he really didn't find any special key evidence, and he didn't even have a 100% understanding of the real motive of the dungeon boss. A little emotional."

"It's understandable." Ling Yang recalled the Mr. Gray Wolf next to Ke Chenlin, and guessed that Gray Wolf was the referee.

If this is the case, then it's normal for Ke Chenlin not to be in the mood to ask questions: "Is that someone else, Mr. Ke, brought out by you?"

"No, I killed the boss of the instance." His tone was still not salty, "I'm too lazy to find out about his incredible past, all I know is that he really blocked my way."

Lingyang and Qiuyu looked at each other, and they could both see surprise in each other's eyes.

"But the dungeon boss can't be killed." Qiu Yu said, "Oh, we don't doubt your ability, Mr. Ke, but some players have actually tried killing the dungeon boss. We know that the dungeon is built on a certain On a special prop, it is actually the embodiment of energy, but it cannot be used by players.”

"Oh, that might be the 'benefit' of turning off the program." Ke Chenlin didn't express any surprise or surprise, he just asked: "What can you see when you close your eyes?"

What can you see with your eyes closed?Ling Yang froze for a moment, and then asked uncertainly: "Is this some kind of philosophical proposition? You can see more when you close your eyes?"

"It's true that you can see more when you close your eyes." Ke Chenlin nodded. He can see what the people in the whole building are doing when he closes his eyes now, but he also knows that there is a high probability that Lingyang's bewildered reaction is not Ability similar to my own.

"Mr. Ke, we sincerely invite you to cooperate with us, no matter what, our goals are the same." Qiu Yu interrupted their discussions about philosophy.

"Can I go to the special management office first?" Ke Chenlin asked.

"Of course." Qiu Yu and the others are also aware of the irreconcilable contradiction between the extinguishing program and the fire system. Since they chose to appear, they are already ready to tell the whole story.

"As part of the Tinder system, are you sure that if I appear in a place where players gather, they won't do anything to me?" Ke Chenlin thought for a while, "For example, being assassinated or something."

"You can rest assured on this point, we are very aware of the difference between you and the fire system, and you have been a human being for more than 30 years, and you are a few years older than me, and you have been a human longer than me." Ling Yang said a witty remark , but no one smiled in cooperation, he could only hehe in embarrassment, and began to look at the layout of the room as if nothing had happened.

"I want to go and have a look." Ke Chenlin said directly.

"Okay, we'll arrange it right away."

……

In the control hall of the fire system, jelly-like people are tangled in place, and the eyeballs in the body are turning around, showing the owner's uneasiness.

"The referee is back, the mission has failed." A thing that looks very much like a wireworm is right next to the big event.

"Yeah." The jelly mantis chrysalis became more frequent, "And that world was destroyed again, and it failed to be recovered."

"The destruction program must have swallowed a lot of data." The one with the locust head was also struggling. "The referee returned to the office after he came out of the game, and he didn't say what happened."

The referee they were talking about had already taken off his human shell in the room.

The referee who has shed his shell does not have a specific form. He returns to the main body, which is the host of the fire system.

Someone entered the referee's office and tapped on the control panel.

That hand was completely different from that of a human being. It was too slender, and the outer layer was covered with an arthropod-like shell. It had no nails, and there were only four fingers in total.

"Referee." The man spoke, and what he said was actually human language.

[Your Excellency Marshal. ] A lavender panel popped up.

"I need to know exactly what happened." The creature known as the Marshal stuttered every word. He was not asking for the referee's opinion, but ordering.

He spoke human language only to warn the referee, who he suspected had been influenced by human emotions.

However, the referee didn't do what he wanted, and the panel soon popped up [Sorry, you don't have permission. 】

The marshal slapped the host with a slap.

However, the referee was unmoved [This involves player privacy, you are still in the period of privilege deprivation and cannot view it. 】

This is not the referee's temper, he is also part of the Tinder system anyway.The tinder system maintains the privacy of any intelligent creature, which makes no distinction between friend and foe.

Once the Marshal took advantage of the loopholes to find out the information of the players who stole the extinguishing program, and culled them. However, the Tinder system discovered his behavior and upgraded it.

Now part of the marshal's authority has been deprived. As for the deprivation period... Converted to earth time, it is about 600 years.

After the procedural warning, another window popped up [It's hard for me to kill him. 】

"So you're relenting?" The marshal narrowed his numerous eyes.

[Strictly speaking, yes.And I feel the anger. 】When the referee saw Ke Chenlin bucketing himself, his mind went blank. When he finally came back to his senses, besides heartache, there was also endless anger.

Angry at Ke Chenlin's self-mutilation behavior, how could he use such a dangerous method to test whether the dungeon boss can be killed?If it can't be killed, then it's useless!

These emotions are still affecting the referee. He can't calm down, so he can only find a place to be quiet.Simply put, it's... autistic.

"You shouldn't be soft-hearted." The marshal said, "You failed to kill him this time, and he will be more defensive next time."

【oh. ] The referee responded.

The atmosphere fell silent for a while.

"Judgment! Judgment!" The marshal could be said to be gnashing his teeth.

[I don't want to, but I hope you can understand me, Marshal, even though you haven't been in love, and you haven't experienced it personally. 】The referee will not be intimidated by him, after all, he is not strictly a subordinate of the marshal.

"I'm not here to listen to your eccentricities. I need your assurance that I won't make mistakes next time."

[Sorry, I can't guarantee this. 】The referee will not lie, 【Also, I am not eccentric. 】

[Can you go out?I have to have a system for a while? 】

"Would you like to go to the next copy?" The marshal didn't mean to leave, "If you can't do it, then let me come and give me the binding authority."

【I reject. 】The referee said without thinking.

"You don't have the right to refuse, referee." The marshal sneered, "Please don't let your personal feelings affect your judgment, referee, you know he must die."

"Or do you mean you don't want to kill him?"

[Okay, I agree to the transfer of authority. 】The referee said, 【However, no matter what happens to you, Marshal, it has nothing to do with me. 】

The author has something to say:
