Zhou Heqi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the paper and was stunned: "What's wrong with this name?"
What's wrong with this name
Ning Suisui asked: "Do you know who this person is?"
"I know."
"Know?" Ning Suisui was speechless. "You knew why you put him first?"
Zhou Heqi's expression was very calm: "In this instance, shouldn't all players be our competitors?"
Ning Suisui was stunned for a moment: "You have great ambitions."
Zhou Heqi immediately revealed that he did not have lofty ambitions, he simply had not seen the world.
"Besides, don't we have you, Captain Ning? You are the seventh-ranked tough guy in the standings, an expert among experts! Isn't it easy for you to catch a mere Xiao Jie?"
Ning Suisui understood.
She asked, "How many times have you completed the Level 5 game before?"
"Although this is the first time, I believe that with our joint efforts, the ocean treasure will be in our hands!"
In the dim and shabby little restaurant, Zhou Heqi's companions applauded.
"good!"
Fuck you! You idiot!!!
No wonder he dared to challenge Jie Fangcheng directly just now!
Ning Suisui has been very careful about her image since she became a bounty hunter, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes at this moment.
"Then let me provide you with some information." She said expressionlessly, "The fourth-ranked 'devil' Ji Ge was beaten to the point of being unable to get out of bed by this little jellyfish who was so powerful, and Ji Ge—"
Ning Suisui raised a finger: "I was just hit by his stick."
Zhou Heqi was stunned for a moment, and he opened his mouth hesitantly: "Is Ji Ge so weak?"
Depend on!
Ning Suisui also felt that Ji Ge’s strength was not that strong. The reason why that person was able to squeeze into the top ten of the standings and rank higher than herself was that 50% of it was due to Ji Chaoyang.
But after all, he was the seventh player in the rankings. Ning Suisui could think Ji Ge was weak, but He Qi didn’t even make it to the rankings this week, and it was his first time to clear the level 5 dungeon. Where did he get the courage to say Ji Ge was weak
Zhou Heqi also came to his senses at this time. He hesitated for a moment: "So this person's strength... Captain Ning, you are not sure about it?"
Ning Suisui said angrily: "I am sure I can escape from him!"
Are you still sure? When Jie Fangcheng was fighting the NPC, the NPC screamed so miserably, but it seems that Zhou Heqi didn't hear a word
Fortunately, Jie Fangcheng was slow, otherwise Ning Suisui would not dare to say this.
"Ah." Zhou Heqi quickly crossed out the name, "Then let's let him go for now! Let's see the next one... Hey! There's a 71 here, and his strength should be average, but his name is so weird, how do you pronounce his last name? Ji?"
Ning Suisui looked down: "..."
Ning Sui Sui pulled out her golden giant axe: "No need to bother! I'll just chop you down directly!!"
Even Yan Xiaoqian was speechless: "Brother, you are really good at picking!"
Zhou Heqi asked: "This one doesn't work either? This one is also very strong?"
"This is Xie's boyfriend! He's the brother of the former president of Ronghua! Are you sick?!"
"Which one will do?"
Ning Suisui glanced at it and then quickly circled a name on the paper.
"That's it, Liu Guangming, one hundred and twenty-one points."
.
While the "Golden Leopard" team was busy, Xie Fangcheng and his friends were having dinner on the third floor.
On the price list on the third floor, each single meal costs fifty cents, but when the NPC saw Jie Fangcheng and the others coming, his expression was quite gentle and kind: "Please wait a moment, our ingredients need to be prepared now, and they will be ready soon."
"No points needed?" someone asked.
"You are all honored guests on board. You don't need it."
Zhang Daoan suddenly asked: "Do other players have to pay for what we eat?"
The NPC smiled but said nothing.
Everyone looked at each other.
Wei Yuan hesitated and said, "Forget about the boat fare, that is a necessary expense. But the food doesn't have to be so luxurious, right? I think... why don't we go to the restaurant on the first floor?"
Before he could finish his words, Jie Fangcheng had already started discussing with the NPC after looking at the menu for a single meal.
"I don't like this sashimi. Can you change it to something else? Tempura? What is that? Oh, fried shrimp. Give me one."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and everyone from Wei Yuan and Ronghua looked at him in shock.
Jie Fangcheng asked: "What's wrong?"
Nie Shuangshuang slammed the table heroically.
"Who cares? If the players have any complaints, they can go and tell the NPC!"
The reason why she left Ronghua later was because her strength was downgraded and when she entered the dungeon again, the players she met saw that she was Ronghua's Nie Shuangshuang, and would always pre-set that she would be the one who made the greatest contribution, saying things like "This part is more difficult, Sister Shuangshuang, you do it" or "No one is doing this task, Sister Shuangshuang, you take it."
When Nie Shuangshuang refused, those people always looked like they found it hard to accept, as if to say, "You are from Ronghua, why can't you help other players more?"
It was like this before, but Nie Shuangshuang relied on her strong strength and basically invested together with Ronghua’s vice president, so even if she suffered a little loss, it was nothing.
It’s no longer possible now. After Nie Shuangshuang finishes writing a new book, she can’t sleep at night when she gets home. She keeps asking herself whether what she did before was wrong and whether Ronghua really shouldn’t exist.
So Nie Shuangshuang left Ronghua and went to the Professional League to work as a real estate agent.
At this time Wei Yuan was still abiding by the rules of Ronghua, but Nie Shuangshuang had already taken the lead in understanding Fang Cheng.
She even snapped her fingers in a fashionable way, but she couldn't remember how to say it in English: "Well... I'll change the dish too."
Wei Yuan had a conflicted look on his face.
Zhang Daoan glanced at him and asked: "How many members are there in Ronghua Union?"
Wei Yuan was confused: "One."
"Look, there is only one now." Zhang Daoan said calmly, "A spark is only useful if it can set the whole field on fire. If you just keep burning yourself without igniting others, you will eventually burn out, right?"
Wei Yuan fell into deep thought.
While he was thinking, the NPCs had already started serving the dishes skillfully.
Nie Shuangshuang took two bites of the fish and nudged him with her elbow: "Don't even think about it. Just leave this kind of professional work to professionals."
"ah?"
Nie Shuangshuang pointed at Zhang Daoan over there and whispered to him, "Think about what they teach and what they specialize in, and just listen to their instructions. With your brain, you are only slightly better than Brother Jie's."
Xie Fangcheng was actually asking Zhang Daoan: "How should we get through the game later? Do you have any ideas?"
"Wait." Zhang Daoan said, "Ning Suisui and the others are gathering the players' points. Once they have gathered, we can go and get them."
"oh oh!"
"But at twelve o'clock today, maybe you have to go and help."
Jie Fangcheng asked: "Hmm? What can I help you with?"
"Try not to let those players who haven't paid the boat fee die."
"Okay." Jie Fangcheng was a little curious, "But I don't quite understand what you want to do."
Facing his question, Zhang Daoan patiently explained to him: "The last rule of the cruise ship is, 'The three with the highest scores can obtain the ocean treasure.' I think this treasure is also the goal of these NPCs. But the scores of the players are generally low, so it's actually not a big deal. Although the players' strength is average, if a hundred players work together, it will be impressive."
"Then why don't you just let the players do whatever they want on the ship? After three days, the cruise ship will arrive, the NPCs will get the treasure, and the players will die. Why make these rules to make the players kill each other? It's like you can't wait for all the players to die?"
As he spoke, Coach Zhang looked at Jie Fangcheng very naturally and skillfully, as if he was asking a question to a student.
But this student was obviously not one of the students he had taught before. Xie Fangcheng said calmly: "Just tell me directly. You understand my situation."
Zhang Daoan laughed: "Those NPCs are all marine creatures. I guess the players are their food."
"Oh!" Jie Fangcheng suddenly realized, and then asked, "What does that have to do with what you want to do?"
"What if the death rate of players is very low?" Zhang Daoan asked, "Even after reaching zero points, players will not die. If this is the case, the NPCs on the ship will not be able to eat. Will they attack the players?"
"meeting."
"This is my purpose," said Zhang Daoan.
Jie Fangcheng was stunned for a moment.
"These players dare to take the initiative to enter the fifth level. Most of them are mature old players, representing the strongest part of the player group and are already at the top of the pyramid." Zhang Daoan said, "But to be honest, their performance is very disappointing. When these people are bullied by NPCs, their first reaction is not to argue with the NPC, but to blame Ronghua. When encountering problems, they only know to swing their swords at their companions. No one has ever thought of gathering the power of players to resist the NPC. Of course, this is not their fault. The strength of NPCs is far greater than that of players. This is a fact that has been fixed in their minds."
"But if the NPCs have changed, will they have the courage to take advantage of that change?"
—If the NPC has changed.
Jie Fangcheng suddenly realized: "You have always paid attention to letting the 'background NPCs' master the props, and uniting them and so on. Is it working now?"
"right."
"Where?" Jie Fangcheng asked.
Zhang Daoan shook his head: "It's just a guess. I just seemed to see a different NPC."
First floor.
"Yan Xiaotong" and four other people were leading a group of players who had not paid the boat fee, asking questions as they walked, and communicating with any NPC they caught.
"Will it really work?" someone asked in frustration, "These NPCs are just insignificant backgrounds. I think we can only go up and ask those NPCs with positions, right?"
"Yan Xiaotong" and the others' purpose was not to help these people pay the boat fare. It would be better if they couldn't pay it, so as not to waste so many points.
"But NPCs with positions mean they are stronger. We can still talk to these ordinary NPCs. If I violate their killing rules, I can still deal with them. If they are more powerful..."
She has a point.
Everyone could only continue to question the NPCs one by one.
From ordinary servants to cleaners and kitchen staff, the NPCs in the fifth level seem to be more intelligent, and each NPC will patiently answer their questions.
But all the NPCs’ answers were “If you don’t pay the fare, you will have to get off the ship and there is no way to earn points.”
It was not until Sun Ting asked an NPC who was rubbing clothes that the other party was stunned for a moment.
"You didn't pay the boarding fee?"
"right!"
The NPC first looked behind Sun Ting.
Because the cruise ship is so big, the players went to ask separately. Sun Ting ran quite far away, and there was no one behind her.
The NPC hesitated for a moment, but looked at her and finally spoke.
"I know a guard who might be able to spare your life if you're willing to pay a price."
Sun Ting was startled and asked quickly, "What's the price?"
"They..." The NPC thought of these guards, and a trace of disgust flashed across his face, "They like to eat the flesh of guests."
Needless to say, which is more important, flesh or life, Sun Ting nodded immediately: "Okay! I do!"
After that, Sun Ting thought of several other players who also hadn’t paid the boat fee. She hesitated for a while before speaking: “I know a few other players who haven’t paid the boat fee…”
"No!" The NPC immediately refused, "It's already very reluctant and risky to let you go! If there's not enough meat, the captain and the others will investigate!"
You can't blame her for this.
Sun Ting immediately let go of her guilt and followed the NPC naturally.
The NPC took her through twists and turns and soon entered a room on the first floor where sundries were stored. Then the NPC opened the secret door under the carpet.
Although it was very dark, Sun Ting could still see the scene below clearly. She immediately covered her mouth to prevent herself from vomiting.
Under the murky deck that was like a swimming pool, two fat octopuses were floating in the murky water. In the water, a corpse with only a skeleton left was cut in half by the two octopuses, who were slurping up the remaining meat between the bones.
It should be Gu Zai Lai.
At this time, Sun Ting followed the NPC here. The octopus in the pool raised its head. Although it was a marine creature, human voices came out of its mouth.
"Why did you bring guests here? Go back now!"
The NPC standing in front of Sun Ting immediately smiled and said, "I thought you two have been hungry for so long, and this girl didn't pay the boat fee and will be thrown off the boat soon. How about you two enjoy it first?"
Sun Ting was startled and turned around to run.
But the NPC behind her restrained her, and just as Sun Ting was about to attack, he whispered to her, "If you leave now, you will die at twelve o'clock, believe me!"
Two octopuses slowly climbed out of the water.
When they were in the water, these two things looked very disgusting. Now after crawling out of the water, their tentacles walking on the road showed an extremely uncomfortable sticky feeling.
An octopus hesitated: "But every guest has been reserved, and the captain is keeping an eye on every one of them."
The NPC advised: "What's the big deal? Their customers often fight to the death anyway, so just say she died in the fight and find some bones to fill the gap. Look at this girl, her meat is tender. It's better to feed her and eat a few bites of meat every day than to gnaw on bones, right?"
The mentally deficient octopus was convinced.
It nodded: "Okay, let's keep this one."
As she spoke, a tentacle of the octopus on the right cut over directly. Sun Ting was stunned for a moment, then opened her mouth to scream in pain, but was covered by the NPC next to her.
"Tsk." An unknown octopus sneered, and Sun Ting felt pain in her leg again.
She lowered her head in a cold sweat and found that the muscles in her calves were gone.
Sun Ting exchanged a bottle of potion from the system backpack with trembling hands. After drinking it, under the gaze of the octopus and the NPC, the flesh on her legs grew back quickly.
"Oh? It's really good meat!" Octopus laughed happily, "Zhang Min, I'll give you a credit."
The NPC named "Zhang Min" had a faint cold light in her eyes, but she quickly regained her smile and nodded: "Thank you, leader."
Although the muscles have grown back, the pain just now penetrated deep into her bones, and Sun Ting trembled all over.
Zhang Min stood by and supported her: "Look at her pale face, I will take this girl away, I will come again tomorrow!"
The tentacles of the two octopuses reluctantly wrapped around Sun Ting's legs twice, but finally let go.
From now on, with such “living meat” with such strong recovery ability, I won’t have to worry about not having enough to eat every day.
"Okay, take it with you. Remember to come tomorrow."
The octopus slowly returned to the pool.
Zhang Min helped Sun Ting, who was covered in cold sweat, out of the utility room. Sun Ting then looked at her legs.
She always felt as if there were two pieces of flesh missing from her legs, and the pain did not diminish at all.
"Tomorrow... are you coming again?"
Zhang Min looked at her and said, "If you don't come, they will go look for you."
Sun Ting's eyes went dark.
Zhang Min looked around vigilantly and heard a sound.
"I have to go," she whispered. "I'll wait for you here at the same time tomorrow."
After saying that, Zhang Min quickly disappeared from sight.
About ten seconds later, "Yan Xiaotong" came over.
She looked at Sun Ting who was squatting on the ground: "Why are you here?"
Each of them had an assigned exploration range, and this area was not within Sun Ting's range.
And looking at Sun Ting's appearance, it looked like she had just escaped with her life.
Sun Ting controlled her trembling legs and managed to stand up from the ground.
"Nothing." She tried to look calm. "I finished searching over there, so I looked over here. I... I'll go back first."
When Sun Ting passed by "Yan Xiaotong", before she could react, the "Yan Xiaotong" in front of her pushed her to the ground.
"I helped you out of good intentions, and you lied to me?"
Sun Ting was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "No! I just... it's just not convenient to say!"
The strength of the hand holding her down did not diminish at all.
Sun Ting had no choice but to tell everyone everything that had just happened.
"But the NPC also said that because so many players were asked to leave the ship, they had a chance to fool around and let me go. I... I don't want to watch everyone die, but there is only one spot, and I found it, so it's not wrong for me to want to survive, right?"
"Yan Xiaotong" who was pressing on her was silent, but finally let go.
She sighed, "Indeed."
Sun Ting felt a little relieved.
"Yan Xiaotong" sighed: "But you shouldn't lie to me. I can understand you. How about this, you take me to the utility room you just mentioned to take a look, and when you come again tomorrow, I will follow you secretly to see if there is any way I can help you. Otherwise, it would be too tragic for you to experience such terrible flesh cutting again and again."
Sun Ting was stunned for a moment, then looked at the girl in front of her with emotion.
"Ms. Yan..."
"Yan Xiaotong" smiled and patted her shoulder: "Okay, let's go. It's almost twelve o'clock, and we have another plan to complete."
Their "plan" was that if they couldn't find an NPC who could pay the shipping fee, they would try to order the NPC around if there was really no other way.
This was proposed by Ning Suisui.
She suspected that there were numbers on the NPCs, but she couldn't be sure how many numbers they had, so she thought of starting with some background NPCs today to see if these NCPs had many numbers and whether they could be restricted by the cruise ship rules.
After testing the NPC, you can also test the strength of the guards who want to drive the players off the boat, and by the way, test the number of guards.
As for those unlucky players who didn't get any points, this is how the level 5 version is. If they die, they can only blame themselves for not being strong enough.
"Yan Xiaotong" thought so, and first followed Sun Ting to the utility room. After memorizing the location, she took Sun Ting to meet up with the main force.
Sure enough, except for Sun Ting, the other players got nothing.
"That's the only way."
"Yan Xiaotong" sighed with regret: "We can only try the NPC numbers first, and then see if the guards can defeat them."
Before he finished speaking, a man carrying a stick came over from afar.
After Xie Fangcheng came over according to the direction given by Zhang Daoan, he also greeted the players present.
"Hey, good afternoon."
No one spoke.
Why do so many things happen in the morning
In the final analysis, isn't it because the people of Ronghua didn't pay the boat fee, so everyone had to pay 15 cents more, and in the end so many people's plans changed, and they could only prepare to fight the NPC here
What is this person doing here now
They didn't say anything, and Jie Fangcheng didn't care. He just walked over and stood there.
"Yan Xiaotong" looked at him and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?"
Jie Fangcheng signaled to her: "It's okay, just pretend I don't exist."
"… "
But this person is so powerful that it is really difficult to chase him away.
Ning Suisui had said when the two groups of Golden Leopard separated that there was someone in Ronghua who had a quick mind, and the other party might have thought of the fact that "NPCs also have a share".
At this time, Jie Fangcheng was standing here. "Yan Xiaotong" just thought about it for a moment, and then continued to act according to the plan.
"There are still ten minutes left. We currently have four people with zero points, so there is no need to test them. For the rest, shall we start with the lowest score?"
A player with a full beard stood up.
"Then let me do it. I only have seven points."
"good!"
Just at this moment, a servant NPC carrying a plate passed by nearby, and the bearded man immediately secretly issued a task.
"I command you to put the plate on the ground!"
As soon as the order was given, the NPC immediately turned around and looked at him.
The bearded man was stunned for a moment, and then his expression instantly became quite ugly.
"What happened?" everyone asked with concern.
The bearded man gave a bitter smile and said, "Good news, NPCs can indeed be given orders."
"bad news-"
The NPC really put the plate aside, then rushed over with an excited expression on his face.
"The bad news is that my score is not as high as his. The system prompts me that the NPC has been angered and will attack me."
The NPC rushed over very quickly. The bearded man had an early warning skill, and at this moment the system prompt sound and the early warning sound merged into one in his mind.
The bearded man could only take out his weapon and looked at "Yan Xiaotong" beside him in despair.
"Sister Xiaotong..."
"Yan Xiaotong" hesitated, not knowing whether she should help him.
This NPC is of average strength, and she is confident that she can deal with it.
But it is a taboo to attack NPCs easily in the dungeon. What if a bunch of them come after you kill one
Seeing her hesitation, the bearded man already knew her answer.
Depend on!
It seems like I can only rely on myself...
In desperation, the bearded man gritted his teeth and clenched his weapon tightly in his hand.
The next second—
With a "bang".
Jie Fangcheng, who was standing nearby, smashed the NPC in front of him away with a stick.
As excited as the NPC was when he rushed over just now, as embarrassed as he is now when he flies out.
After landing, the NPC screamed and ran away without taking the plate.
The bearded man was stunned for a moment, then he was delighted: "Thank you..."
It's still Ronghua! These Ronghua people still have the trait of helping others when they see injustice!!
Over there, Jie Fangcheng, who had been hit by a stick, turned around.
"I seem to have forgotten to tell you in advance." He held out his hand. "The reward is an item worth more than 3 million points. If you don't give it to me, call the NPC back now. Choose."
