At nine o'clock in the evening, Gu Jiu felt a familiar pull and visual shift, and he appeared in a gray foggy space where time stood still.
The system's emotionless mechanical voice rang out: Players are about to enter a D-level game field: Seven Sheep.
Game mission: Survive for three days.
Then the game store panel appeared in front of him, with a series of products listed on it.
Item 1: Red creeper grains, 50 points each, each person is allowed to purchase 4 grains.
Item 2: Holy Light Talisman, 200 points per piece, each person is allowed to purchase one.
Item 3: The Horrifying Chainsaw, 500 points each, each person is allowed to purchase one.
… …
After looking at the products on the store page, Gu Jiu was suspicious. "Why are all the items this time the same as last time except for the first one? Is your game store really cheating players?"
System No. 387's baby voice immediately popped out to refute.
This is not to trick players, but all the props that are probably needed in a D-level game field appear here. Players can choose to buy them or not, and the game does not force them to do so.
Gu Jiu said with disdain: "In fact, your game is just to cheat players of their points, right? So every time you enter the game, the props and products listed on the mall panel are not targeted. If players can buy props that can be used in the game world, it will be great. If they can't buy them, they can only consider themselves unlucky. This not only tests the player's vision and judgment, but also tests the player's financial resources."
If No. 387 were a human, he would be sweating coldly at this moment.
In fact, many players have raised this issue, and the game has been pretending to be dead, taking an attitude of not responding or ignoring it.
As the system manager, No. 387 couldn't play dead, so he could only whisper: "Miss, it's good enough that you know it, why do you have to explain it so clearly? Anyway, you can't change anything now..."
After seeing how Gu Jiu cleared the game, the system followed other players in calling her "Miss" and no longer dared to call her "Ajiu".
Gu Jiu was calm and said, "You are right, but I am just expressing my opinion. By the way, why don't you add more products that players need to your game store?"
No. 387 asked in confusion: What other products do players need
"Normal food!" Gu Jiu said confidently, "You don't think these breads and instant noodles are food, do you? Players are running for their lives in the game, but they can't even eat properly. Their spirits are greatly damaged. Don't you care about this game?"
No. 387: … Actually, it didn’t see any mental damage to this young lady.
However, No. 387 was optimistic about Gu Jiu and did not dare to be perfunctory with her. He hurriedly said: Then I will report your opinion to Zhutian Game.
Gu Jiu said happily: "That's troublesome. My requirements are not high. As long as the lunch box quality can reach that of a five-star restaurant, it will be fine."
No. 387 thought to himself, isn't this a high requirement? What about those players who are satisfied with just a food stall
After communicating with the system manager, Gu Jiu started shopping.
First of all, the red vine grain ranked first needs to be purchased. Generally, the props ranked first can be used in the game world, so the game doesn’t cheat players too much in this regard.
Therefore, when many players do not know the situation in the game world, they will generally choose to purchase the first few items with caution.
4 red vine grains require 200 points. After buying them, Gu Jiu only has 50 points left.
No. 387 also knew that she had bought a 100-grid portable bag in Wujie City, which cost her 1,000 points, and was now extremely poor, so he did not ask her if she wanted to buy some life-saving items.
Gu Jiu used the remaining 50 points to buy clothes, daily necessities, food and the like.
After spending all the points, Gu Jiu said to the system: "Okay, let's enter the game world."
This time, No. 387 still quickly sent her into the game world, to prevent the young lady, who had already become 0 points, from starting to blame the game and the system again. It was just a newbie worker in the game, and it had no say in the game's affairs.
**
Gu Jiu adjusted his glasses and looked around.
This was a dirty, shabby living room, with many yellowed old newspapers on the walls, and the putty peeling off, revealing the color of the bricks inside. There was a round incandescent lamp above the head, but the lampshade was covered with dirt, making the already not very bright light even dimmer.
In the dim light, everything in the hall seemed shadowy, as if in a haunted house.
A man came to Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu turned his head and looked over, a smile appeared on his face, "Aji."
Lu Ji pulled his lip slightly in response, but this fake smile was a little creepy. Gu Jiu said, "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh. I know you are a good girl. You don't need to care too much about what others think."
Although smiling is sometimes a form of courtesy, some people are born not to like smiling. In such an abnormal situation, there is no need to force it.
Lu Ji, who is considered a good girl: "..."
"Oh, isn't this Miss Gu and Miss Lu?"
An enthusiastic and surprised voice sounded. Gu Jiu and Lu Ji looked up and saw a huge black shadow blocking the light and standing in front of them with great weight.
Gu Jiu was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "It turned out to be Fatty Brother, where is Thin Brother?"
The fat man smiled and moved away, revealing the thin man who was blocked by him.
Seeing Gu Jiu and the others, the thin guy was in a good mood and nodded slightly to them.
"We are so destined to be together. I didn't expect to be in the same game again." The fat man was so excited that his fat was trembling. "Although we just separated in the last game, it feels like we haven't seen each other for several months..."
It’s no wonder that Fatty is so happy. Since the two brothers became players of the Zhutian Game World, they have met so many players, but Gu Jiu left the most profound impression on him.
Although it was her first game, her performance was better than those experienced players. She was definitely a reserve for high-level bosses and would definitely become one in the future.
Of course, it would be best to make friends with potential players like this before they become big players.
The acquaintance of these people attracted the attention of other players.
Although there are many friends among players, it is difficult to trust and be sincere to other players in the game world. Seeing their friendly atmosphere, they are somewhat envious.
There are thirteen players this time, eight official players and five newcomers.
The official players looked around cautiously, while the newcomers were panicked and confused, looking at everything around them helplessly, but no one shouted ignorantly or asked what was going on.
As the four were talking, they saw a coolly dressed female player wearing a black tight leather jacket walking towards the group of newcomers.
She didn't waste too much time talking and simply explained the Zhutian Game and its tasks to the newcomers. Although she spoke briefly, she didn't hide anything.
It seems that this female player is an old player selected by the game to explain the game to new players.
The female player is not beautiful, but she is very heroic, has a good figure, and has an exceptionally attractive charm.
After explaining the game to the newcomer, the female player ignored the newcomer's reaction, turned to the official players, and introduced herself: "My name is Ying Tong, and I will be promoted to C-level soon."
Her self-introduction was simple and clear, and she also pointed out her strengths.
A player who is about to be promoted to C-level, obviously has a lot of gaming experience, and she is attracting other players to approach her, follow her arrangements and instructions, and hope that they can pass the level smoothly under her leadership.
Sure enough, the other three official players looked at her differently and approached her to introduce themselves.
The fat guy was very outgoing. Seeing that the other person was a very good female player, he readily pulled his brother over.
Although Gu Jiu and Lu Ji did not approach her, they did not compete with her for the lead position. After other players introduced themselves, they also introduced themselves briefly.
The eight official players this time are five men and three women, all young people in their twenties.
The five newcomers were not very old. There was a strong man wearing a greasy vest with a dragon tattoo on his arm to his shoulder, a pale-faced, dull-eyed otaku, a pretty, shy woman, an honest man in a cheap suit, and a handsome man in beige casual clothes.
The handsome man in casual clothes looked at the three women, his eyes almost glued to Gu Jiu, staring at her infatuatedly.
There is no doubt that among the four women here, Gu Jiu is the most outstanding, not only in appearance, but also in temperament.
She stood there quietly, like an ink painting coated with soft light, elegant and graceful, with outstanding temperament. The dim and stale environment became less unbearable because of her brightness.
Although Lu Ji is also very handsome, the sickly and pale face and the cold and taciturn appearance can easily make men back off.
Ying Tong is a cool and handsome woman with heroic spirit, while the other shy woman can only be described as pretty.
With appearance and temperament like Gu Jiu, it is easy to attract the attention of the opposite sex, who think she is a traditional, gentle and virtuous woman, like a lady from a noble family.
The man in casual clothes is called Tu Shuai, and he is a playboy in the real world.
He fell in love with Gu Jiu and did not hide his eyes.
Lu Ji looked over as if he had sensed something, his pair of pitch-black eyes staring straight at him.
Tu Shuai suddenly shuddered, and when he met Lu Ji's eyes, he was inexplicably frightened and quickly looked away. When he came to his senses, he cursed himself for being suspicious of the surroundings. What was there to be afraid of from the eyes of a little girl who hadn't even grown all her hair
His eyes were still wandering around restlessly, especially at women. When Ying Tong looked at him, he smiled, thinking he was handsome.
Ying Tong looked away indifferently.
Squeak—
An extremely piercing sound was heard, and everyone looked over and saw someone pushing open the door to the living room.
The doors were two very old wooden doors. Every time they moved, they made an unpleasant friction sound, which sounded in the quiet space, like rubbing against people's hearts.
A man as thin as a skeleton walked in.
He was even thinner than the skinny guy who was as thin as a stick. His clothes were empty, like a sheath on bones. The hand holding the flashlight looked like a layer of skin wrapped around bones. His face was covered with a thin layer of flesh, which made his frontal bone, cheekbones and jawbone more prominent. He looked like an ape-man, but also like an unevolved animal.
It's creepy no matter how you look at it.
At this moment, he was looking at them greedily with a pair of turbid eyes, which showed undisguised appetite and evil desire, and even drooled uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth.
Everyone: “…” This is the first time I’ve encountered an NPC who is so bad at hiding himself.
The official players did not move, and looked at the man cautiously, knowing that he should be an NPC of the game. Although the newcomers were very unfamiliar with the game world, they also knew how to read people's faces and act accordingly. Seeing that these official players did not react, they would not do anything stupid and were all waiting for the NPC's next move.
The man smiled at them, and because he looked like a skeleton, the smile looked particularly hideous.
"I'm your landlord. Come with me and I'll take you to your room." The man said, his reluctant eyes sliding across the crowd, and he led them through the living room with somewhat stiff and slow steps.
There is a door at the innermost part of the living room, and behind the door is a staircase. The man leads the way, walking very slowly, and the players follow, led by Ying Tong.
The stairs are very narrow and can only accommodate two people.
In the silence, Gu Jiu's voice rang out: "Why is the staircase so narrow? There are not even street lights installed. It's too dark and difficult to walk."
Her voice is soft and clear, with a bit of girlish coquettishness, like a girl who is spoiled at home.
The landlord did not turn around, and his voice rang out hoarsely: "This is a self-built house. It cost a lot of money to build it. All my family savings were used up. I can only save money as much as possible. It's okay as long as I can move. Why spend so much money? You come to rent a house from me, isn't it because you think it's cheap?"
Implicitly, he was mocking them for being poor bastards pretending to be rich and yet having the nerve to complain.
The players present wanted to yell back, who would want to rent a room in such a place? They were forced to come here!
Gu Jiu sneered, "Okay, if you refund us the money, we won't rent it anymore."
landlord:"… "
Players: “…” Is there such a cool operation
The landlord pretended not to hear and continued to climb.
Seeing this, Gu Jiu knew that the landlord would never give them a refund, and continued to deliberately provoke him, "I came here to rent a house, wasn't it because I was deceived by your false advertisement? You have the nerve to rent such a shabby place to us, and you dare to charge us so much money, even if you pay us nothing, you are disgusted. Look at the floor, it's full of dirt, I'm afraid it hasn't been cleaned for decades..."
Along the way, Gu Jiu kept talking non-stop, complaining about the house in every way, even the landlord, and his words were extremely hurtful.
If this happened in the real world, her ugly face would have been posted online long ago.
The players all stared at her as if she were seeing a miracle, full of admiration.
Is it really good to attract hatred like this right after entering the game world? Isn't she afraid that the landlord is the boss and will kill her first
Finally they arrived upstairs, and the landlord stopped there, looking at Gu Jiu coldly.
Gu Jiu was not afraid at all, and said unforgivingly, "Am I wrong? You are incompetent and a low-class man, but you don't want others to say it? A house is like its owner. What kind of house you have is like what kind of owner you have. It shows that your heart must be the same as this house, shabby, stale, disgusting..."
At that moment, everyone could see that the landlord wanted to strangle Gu Jiu to death.
The landlord's face was so thin that it looked like a skeleton, and the veins were popping out, which showed how much he was feeling.
In the end, the landlord did not strangle Gu Jiu to death. Instead, he showed a weird smile and said, "I hope you can still be so tough after tonight."
He ignored them and pointed to the rooms around him and said, "There are thirteen rooms here. You can choose your own."
