Chapter 74 Hopeless Sea (5) Exploit-Use
Yuna walked out from behind the counter pushing the dining cart, and the pungent smell of fish hit her face. The smell was not disgusting, but definitely not pleasant. It reminded Qiss of the salted fish factory he had visited a few years ago.
The dark room in his memory was filled with fish carcasses, and he always suspected that he was one of those rotting carcasses - it was really not a good memory.
The smell was enough to attract attention, and the players invariably held their breaths and looked in the direction of Yuna. The latter seemed oblivious, smiling and pushing the dining cart to the table in the center of the hall. His pale hands clasped the edges of the plates and brought the plates of dark dishes to the table.
Qisi walked over and took a look. The ten dishes were basically fish, including dried salted fish, steamed fish, fried crispy fish, fish soup...it was just a plate of seaweed that could barely be considered a vegetarian dish, but there were bits and pieces on it. Sprinkled with some waxy yellow meat, it makes people have no desire to swallow it.
Chiss missed Miss Anna for a moment. They are all NPCs, so why is there such a big gap in aesthetics when it comes to food?
Yuna faced the gazes of the players and placed fifteen dishes and chopsticks on the table one after another before swaying back behind the counter.
The players vaguely remember that just before they appeared on the island, they saw a group of ghosts jumping into the sea, and some of them even grew fish tails. Now that this whole fish feast appeared in front of them, they couldn't help but make more associations.
A few cautious players even took a few steps back in an attempt to escape from the fishy package.
Lu Li stared at the dishes on the table in silence.
As if he had made a decision, he walked to the center of the crowd in a few steps and looked around at the players: "Let me introduce myself again. In reality, I am a professor of history at a university, mainly studying Western history. Regarding this I happen to have some guesses about the background of the copy..."
Hearing this, the long-haired young man closest to him became excited as if he were meeting an idol: "Professor Lu, I didn't expect it was really you! You look familiar, you are the youngest professor at Yan University, right? I just saw you on the official account a week ago!"
He called himself "Ye Linsheng" and was studying in Beidu. He reminded me of Lu. Li's identity is reasonable.
A few players seemed to have thought of the article he mentioned, and they looked at each other, and they all saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.
After becoming an official player, it is the consensus of most people to hide their real identity in weird games. If you have a famous face, it is worth spending points to modify your appearance.
But I didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to reveal their true information without covering up.
"It's me. I didn't expect that I'm so famous and can be recognized everywhere." Lu Li said with a hint of humor.
He raised his right hand and pressed it down, using the attitude of a teacher towards his students to signal everyone to be quiet: "The ship we were on at the beginning of the dungeon was a Carrick-type sailing ship, which was popular in the 15th century. Combined with the narration , we can basically judge that the background of the copy is the Age of Discovery, that is, from the 15th to the 17th century..."
Qisi stood in the outer circle of the crowd and listened for a while, deciding not to let knowledge pollute his mind.
He turned around and walked to the table full of vegetables, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, avoided the minced meat floating on the surface, picked up a chopstick of seaweed and stuffed it into his mouth.
I have to say, this thing looks terrible, and tastes...really terrible. This immediately made Qiss give up the idea of improving the food in the dungeon.
He looked back at the people who were still learning knowledge in class, figured out something, and immediately scooped half a plate of seaweed into his bowl, and then carefully picked out the minced meat on it with chopsticks.
Then he squatted in the other corner holding the bowl, put chopstick after chopstick of seaweed into his mouth without changing his expression, and swallowed it.
Chang Xu watched helplessly as Qisi took a bite first, and then quickly finished half of the plate of seaweed as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it.
Although he is not picky about food, at this moment, like all normal people, he has no idea about this fishy dish.
However, judging from Qisi's performance, that plate of seaweed seems to be delicious?
He hesitated for a moment, then took a pair of bowls and chopsticks, picked up a chopstick of seaweed and stuffed it into his mouth. The salty smell went straight to his brain, and it wouldn't make him vomit it out, but it couldn't be called "edible" either.
For a moment, his eyes looked at Qiss strangely, as if he was looking at some incomprehensible abnormal creature.
As soon as Qisi raised his head, he saw Chang Xu’s resentful eyes. After catching a glimpse of the bowls and chopsticks in the latter's hand, he smiled brightly: "Brother Chang, I left half the plate for you."
When their eyes met, Chang Xu also figured out something in an instant. Following his example, he scooped the remaining half of the plate of seaweed into his bowl.
After the two of them settled the dinner issue quietly and quietly went up to the second floor, the players ended their discussion.
Lu Li stood up and walked to the dining table, sighing faintly: "Everyone, please eat something. I don't know how many days I will stay in this dungeon. I can't have an empty stomach."
The third rule is very clear, [All food on the island is edible, please eat on time; only by eating the food on the island can you become a believer of Poseidon].
Having experienced the novice pool, they naturally know that hunger is an extremely dangerous thing in the dungeon. It’s not like I’ve never tasted more delicious dishes before. I pinched my nose and swallowed it as if I were taking medicine.
The players sat down at the dining table, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and then discovered with twitching lips that the only vegetarian dish on the dining table had been completely eaten, and only the minced meat was carefully picked back to the plate. .
The rest are fish meat of unknown raw materials, which are working tirelessly to emit an unpleasant fishy smell...
...
The corridor on the second floor of the hotel is long and narrow, and the rooms on both sides are inlaid with fish. Entering the wooden wall, it almost blends into the wall. There was no light in the corridor, and with the faint light coming from nowhere, I could barely make out the crooked room number on the wooden door.
Qisi followed Chang Xu and heard the person in front of him ask in a chatting tone: "Si Qi, what do you think of the Kyushu Guild?"
The tone was cold, making the words sound like an interrogation.
Qisi smiled and commented: "The spirit is commendable, but the stupidity is extremely stupid."
Chang Xu paused: "Why do you say that?"
"Bad money drives out good ones." Money, people with a high bottom line are more likely to die. And most of the time, the so-called sticking to the bottom line is self-indulgence and self-deception." Zisi stopped in front of a door on the right side of the corridor, pulled out a thin wire and poked at the door lock. I was delighted to discover that the locks in this hotel can also be picked.
He collected the iron wire, restored the door, and walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Chang Xu: "In your opinion, how do you define morality and justice? Ghosts eat people, people kill ghosts, what they follow is The survival rules of their respective ethnic groups.”
"In reality, we follow human-centered ideas and formulate a set of moral principles to restrict similar behaviors; so in a weird game, who should make the rules? After all, it depends on who comes first, and the ghosts are the hosts and we are the guests."
Chang Xu stopped and turned his head to look into Qisi's eyes: "But we are all human beings, not ghosts. Someone once said to me: 'Man is not born to be a beast.'"
Chis smiled and shook his head: "Look, this is human-centered egoism. It cannot effectively deal with the outside world and can only kidnap the same kind. Everyone just wants to live. Everyone depends on their own abilities. What's the point? Shameful? Humans are animals too, so why do we have to elevate ourselves from the ranks of beasts?”
Chang Xu’s intuition was that his words were full of loopholes, but he had never been obsessed with changing other people’s ideas.
If you kill someone, you will be punished, and if you harm someone, you will be punished. The federation relies on violent agencies to maintain this set of rules, and it never cares whether the criminal is remorseful or logical.
However, Qisi always gave him an unpredictable feeling, and he might become a big trouble that he couldn't deal with in the future...
Chang Xu touched the back of his neck and asked: "Si Qi, you Do you plan to join a guild? "
Qisi pondered for a moment and answered truthfully: "No, I don't think it is necessary for the time being. In the absence of team-building items, does the guild have any role? None. I don’t want to exchange most of my points and props for their so-called thirty-six years of experience.”
“And I have no interest in that guild called ‘Xila’. Interested, a group of guys who claim to believe in Social Darwinism would actually choose to band together. It's simply stupid and ridiculous."
Chang Xu nodded to express his understanding, and then took out a white ring from his pocket: "This is according to the past. The team props imitated by La’s ring will take effect when worn on the finger.”
"...Huh?"
Chang Xu looked away and read the lines prepared in advance: "The dungeon in the official player pool is more difficult, and teaming up can effectively increase the chance of survival. You are the one who has been with me since I entered the game. The most powerful player I have ever encountered, I look forward to continuing to cooperate with you."
Qisi was silent for two seconds and looked at him with a half-smile: "We have prepared all the team-building props, should you follow up. Are you trying to trick me into joining a guild?"
"No." Chang Xu added, "I haven't joined a guild yet."
"That's it. Ah..." Qisi smiled broadly and reached out to take the ring.
He casually stuffed the ring into his trouser pocket and said in a joking tone: "Since it is your request for cooperation, how about letting me arrange all the next actions?"
Chang Xu didn't know why and shook his head in refusal: " Including this dungeon, we have only cooperated twice, and we don’t know each other very well. I think it is more reasonable to analyze specific problems. "Really?" Qisi looked at the void in front of him. He narrowed his eyes when he saw the prompt text [The activation of the "Soul Contract" skill failed, and no more contracts can be made with this entity in this copy regarding this clause].
There was no part of throwing the dice and the failure was immediately declared. Is it because Chang Xu refused?
Combining the two experiments in reality, Qiss has roughly clarified the conditions for the activation of the "Soul Contract".
If the other party agrees, it will be directly judged as a success; correspondingly, if the other party refuses, it will be directly judged as a failure.
Only when the opponent's intention is unclear, the judgment will be made by throwing the dice, and the rules will be enforced after success...
Of course, how to define "unclear intention" requires more information. experiment.
Qisi stared at the back of Chang Xu’s head, with undisguised malice in his eyes.
This person is obviously still suspicious of him, and he is quite wary. If he keeps it, it will be a big trouble...
