Chapter 72 Hopeless Sea (3) Cottage
Qisi’s eyes scanned every word on the stone tablet. On the system interface, the regular words slowly emerged as he scanned.
"This Poseidon is just like a local snake who collects protection money..."
He cursed, quietly took a step back, stood quietly beside Chang Xu in the crowd, and said The two of them looked very familiar.
The situation is very clear. This is a dungeon divided into camps. The logic of hostility between the camps cannot be explored in detail. Anyway, Weird Game just hopes that players will fight.
In a game of confrontational attributes, in order to achieve the final victory, it is imperative to explore each opponent's thinking patterns and behavioral choices.
Qisi already had an understanding of Chang Xu's logic, which was equivalent to having an innate information advantage in the game. It would be unjustifiable not to take advantage of it.
Chang Xu saw that Qisi not only did not hide away, but came closer and slowly raised a question mark with his eyes: "You should know that I still doubt you."
"So what? ? They all say that you are a good person, and I think so too. Even if you are still doubting me, you will not ignore me when I am in danger." Qisi sighed with a smile, "Besides, I just entered the formal pool and I don't know anyone. , the only person I can trust is you."
"You haven't joined the guild?" Chang Xu asked.
"How to add it?"
"..."
Chang Xu looked at Qisi who looked innocent and unaware, his eyes dimming slightly.
First of all, the opponent has nothing to do with Xila, and secondly, the strength is worrying. Rationally speaking, it is really difficult to kill everyone in the dungeon.
Emotionally...I hope it won't be him.
He is an intelligent player with excellent layout ability. He seems to have a tendency to cooperate at present, but it will be very troublesome to put him on the opposite side.
"Dear friends, be quiet!" The young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses took a step forward, turned to face the crowd, and introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Lu Li, and this is my nineteenth new copy. ——I mean after becoming an official player.”
“After reading the rules, I have some guesses. Do any of you have cash or money-related props? The rules are closely related to everyone? , I hope you will put your identity and side quests aside and answer truthfully."
There is no doubt that he is an experienced player. If it is true as he claims, this is his nineteenth new copy after becoming an official player. There is a high probability that he has sufficient life-saving items, and it is not wise to be an enemy of him.
The players rummaged through their pockets in unison. Even if it was something I had turned through before, I was pretending to turn it out again to show my innocence.
"Who has cash on them these days? Even if they did, they couldn't bring it in."
"If I had known I would have exchanged some cash in the mall before I came in..."
"Now Didn’t we all violate the first rule? ”
The rules of ghost story dungeons are much simpler than other survival dungeons because the death conditions are traceable. But it’s also easier to trigger unnecessary fear, especially if you suspect you’ve broken a rule.
Chang Xu followed Qisi all the way and stood in the middle of the crowd. He looked at the people in front and behind him who were rummaging through their pockets and putting their hands into their coat pockets.
——Of course I didn’t touch anything.
Then he saw Qis approaching and said at a volume that only the two of them could hear: "The background time of this dungeon is obviously not in modern times. Even if someone does bring cash into the dungeon, there is a high probability that it will be used. No. As a senior player, you can’t even think of this, right?”
Chang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly and his eyes flashed.
You have just been suspected, but you still take the initiative to share your findings. Is it good intention or... deception?
Qisi continued: "Lu Li stood up at this time to seize the right to speak. With a little operation, he can manipulate people's hearts and influence the situation... Of course, it is also possible that I want to think too much. ”
Lu Li, who was standing next to the stone tablet, was completely unaware that his casual question would lead to a scapegoat falling from the sky.
He raised his hand and made a downward gesture, signaling the talking players to quiet down: "If no one has cash, it means that the main line of this dungeon has not been opened yet, and we are all safe. . There may be events that allow us to get cash next, so each of us should pay attention..."
As he spoke, a "rustling" sound came from behind him, and the dense coconut trees suddenly spread to both sides. It opened, revealing a path that only allowed one person to pass. Standing on the path was a young woman in a blue dress.
The woman's golden wavy hair is scattered on her back, her fair face is the color of pearls, and her pair of blue eyes reflect the sky.
She is so beautiful that she doesn’t look like a real person. She even looks suspiciously like a ghost from every angle, but she doesn’t make people feel any bad feelings. Instead, she reminds people of beautiful legends about elves.
The players were stunned as the woman dragged her skirt closer and the sequins dotted on the long skirt reflected the sparkling light spots. She curved her lips, showed a kind smile, and raised her hand to gesture with something.
"Welcome to Poseidon Island, my name is Yuna."
Under the influence of the weird game, players can easily understand the woman's sign language.
Qisi stared at the woman with interest, and saw that her slender, snow-white neck was inlaid with a large fish scale, which happened to be pressed against her vocal cords. He wondered if this was the root cause of her inability to speak.
The woman ignored Chiss's unabashed scrutiny and continued to gesture: "You were brought here by the storm as a guide or revelation from my Lord. I will provide you with shelter and food if you need it."
Lu Li smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness. If I didn't have something important to do, I would definitely be willing to spend the holidays on this beautiful island. Now we want to leave as soon as possible and continue our journey. "It's a pity that our boat was damaged in the storm. Are there any boats that can be used on the island?"
The woman who called herself "Yuna" looked regretful and continued to gesture: "There are no boats on our island." Ship, travelers like you built a wooden ship before, but they left on that wooden ship and never came back.”
Does this mean that players are required to build their own ships?
Lu Li pondered for a moment and asked: "Besides taking a boat, is there any other way to leave the island?"
"I don't know." Yuna shook her head, "Maybe you can go to the altar in the center of the island and ask Lord Poseidon."
The players were relieved to realize that there were other options. After all, these days, Not many people know the craft of shipbuilding.
Even if someone really knows how to do it, it will take a lot of time to build a ship that can cross the sea. In the copy of the weird game, the longer the delay, the more dangerous it becomes.
"It seems we have to stay on the island for a while first. Could you please entertain me?" Lu Li adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled politely, "Yuna, is there a hotel on the island? Do we need to replace some of the island’s currency?”
Yuna seemed to finally remember something and shook her head in annoyance: “I almost forgot, Lord Poseidon said, A certain amount of money should be given to each visitor to the island so that everyone can experience our customs and customs. ”
This is a completely unexpected development. He gives out money without taking any money. Is this Poseidon so good?
A player raised this question outspokenly, and Yuna had a stylized smile on her face: "Please believe that the money you get is in line with your own value."
This The words sounded very strange, as if he had sold himself.
The players looked at each other, letting Yuna put stacks of strange-looking bills into their hands. No matter what, the rules say to make sure you have usable money on you, and these banknotes can indeed solve an urgent need.
Qisi put the stack of banknotes issued to him into his pocket and counted them blindly with his fingers. There were ten in total. He pulled out one of them and looked at it in the sunlight.
I don’t know what kind of material the banknotes are made of. They feel very smooth, like dead fish skin. The design was similar to the currency he was familiar with. The denomination of "100" was written on the left side, and a huge fish head was printed on the right side. It was ugly enough.
After Yuna handed out the money, she gestured: "I will take you to my hotel. The shore is very dangerous."
The bell tower bell in the distance roared, and the surging sound was blurred. His voice sounded as chaotic as rock music played backwards.
The beautiful woman in a blue dress put her arms to her waist, turned her back to everyone in a dignified and elegant manner, and walked slowly and non-stop towards the depths of the coconut grove.
While walking, whether it was because of her walking posture or something else, the hem of her skirt that was dragging on the ground twisted and slid across the sand, giving people the illusion of a mermaid's tail.
Qisi turned his head and looked back. The white waves were gently lapping at the beach. They were no different from ordinary beaches in reality. He didn't know where the danger came from.
But the NPCs all spoke, and no one dared to neglect them for a moment. The players lined up in order of distance, followed Yuna, and stepped onto the forest path one by one.
The green coconut trees spread endlessly to both sides in layers. The wide fan-shaped branches and leaves stagger and stretch towards the sky, filling all the gaps and almost blocking out the sky and the sun.
Zith mingled with the crowd, acting as innocent and harmless as herbivores.
I don’t know how long we walked, but the view ahead suddenly became wider, the branches became sparse, and a two-story wooden house was revealed among the coconut trees.
The hotel arrived.

(I have been stuck again these days, so I revised the previous article. The main reason is that the fate pocket watch is really difficult to deal with... I now feel that it was a mistake to keep Chang Xu alive, and he should always exist in the dialogue...) < br>
