Forces of Temptation

Chapter 60: 8-hour gaming battle (1)

Views:

They found a restaurant in Squirrel Town to rest.

Nan Zhou ordered a brown sugar fresh milk mochi with ten degrees of sugar.

This made Li Yinhang suspect for a while that what was flowing in his veins was not blood, but syrup.

The small, human-shaped squirrel waiter in the restaurant seems to like Nanzhou very much.

After giving Nanzhou a chocolate muffin with the Squirrel Town logo, she also attached her own address on the napkin, and gave Nanzhou a favor with cartoon-like round eyes with three long eyelashes. Creepy wink.

If it was another person, I am afraid that I would be scared by this uncanny valley effect.

But Nan Zhou treated her well and nodded politely to her.

The squirrel waiter was in a good mood, and jumped away with an empty tray.

Nanji Xing was so curious that he shook his head and swayed his tail. When he wanted to follow, Nan Zhou gently grabbed his tail and carried it upside down into his pocket.

At this time, other players in the restaurant also received the update notification.

A pair of teammates at the adjacent table are discussing happily and with bright eyes:

"After the update, 500 points will be awarded!"

"I beg them to do more updates, catch some bugs, and save others from taking advantage. It's good for us."

…they are obviously not aware of the fact that "the creator of this bug is sitting at the next table".

There is more than one person who has this idea.

In the newly launched world function, at least half of the content discussed is for this update.

Of course, there are also dissatisfied voices.

"Just 500 points? Sending beggars."

"Fuck, drag us here to fight for our lives, and give a little sweetness to make this slander of virtue, cheap or not."

"We don't play this game! Quit!"

"Exit! Exit!"

Of course, the main messenger behind the game will ignore them.

However, the emotions that the players have endured for a long time have also found an outlet here.

Instead, some useful information was swept away.

Some smart players, using this suddenly opened up convenient information channel, posted information about the props they own, and wanted to trade, but they were quickly pushed up by repetitive words full of anger.

All these situations were broadcast live to them by Li Yinhang.

-Neither Nan Zhou nor Jiang Fang chose to update.

But after listening for a while, the three reached a consensus:

There is not much nutritional information at the moment.

Li Yinhang took a mouthful of the red bean rice cake soup with a squirrel pattern and sighed heavily.

Nan Zhou felt that Li Yinhang should be happier than he is now for this unexpected income.

He asked: "I earned 500 points, aren't you happy?"

"What do you call earning?"

Li Yinhang's money-saving radar operates stably, and he is not at all tempted by the atmosphere of celebration in the chat channel: "Everyone has it, it means that everyone doesn't have it."

Anyway, everyone is gaining points together, and it does not have any advantage for their team.

Jiang Fang said: "At least 500 more points for buying necessities."

Li Yinhang muttered: "It's true to say so..."

Saying that, Li Yinhang lowered his voice slightly and complained, "But isn't it obvious to take advantage of us?"

In the last dungeon, they had clearly found a way to pass the level.

As long as they find the correct, non-existent classroom and change the order of entering the classroom, they will be able to survive the 120 hours.

If it wasn't for the rustling monster that had moved before them, or if it wasn't to save Sun Guojing, Nan Zhou would never have thought of violently demolishing the door.

Capturing monsters is an accident for the game system, but is it not an accident for their players

As a result, Nan Zhou just caught a dungeon creature, and the patch of the game system followed in a blink of an eye.

This shows that the bug discovered by Nanzhou was unexpected by the operator behind it, and it is also very important.

To this end, it even jumped from behind the scenes to the front.

Once updated, the new warehouse system adds incompatibility with dungeon creatures, so the dungeon boss, which is still garbled in his warehouse, will be erased directly.

The game official of Gravity—let's call it that—almost put the words "I'm your dad" down on their face.

Not only did it plan to take this dungeon boss directly, but it also distributed 500 points to all players, and it refused to give them any extra benefits to the "Cube Ark".

Although he has not thought of any specific use for catching this monster other than occupying a storage slot for nothing, Li Yinhang adheres to the concept of "something that others are reluctant to give you must be a good thing", and truly feels that he is in a panic.

When Li Yinhang was quite upset, Nan Zhou was also staring at his control panel for research.

The store interface is greyed out.

The leaderboard was still what he saw when he entered the last instance, and the ranking was not refreshed.

The points page doesn't even count his last dungeon's score.

Any page that needs interaction is stagnant.

The only thing he could manipulate was the warehouse interface, and the icy update interface that seemed to have a mocking smile.

The reason why the game still retains the operation interface of the warehouse system is because the warehouse and the player's oxygen system are highly bound.

Once the warehouse system is turned off, players who are too late to choose to update will simply suffocate.

Of course, the mastermind behind planning the game is obviously not worried about players not updating.

--gt;gt;

After all, without an update, the store system won't open.

The inability to use the store means that players cannot buy oxygen necessary for survival, spend time resting in transit stations, and enjoy the convenience and new features brought by system updates.

to be honest.

Either don't breathe.

… or update Lao Tzu.

Or take the old system and jump right into the next level of the game.

… or update Lao Tzu.

Don't be angry, I also gave you 500 points as a consolation prize.

Li Yinhang summed it up accurately: "Every game is the same virtue."

It seems that the game side has full confidence in this update.

But Li Yinhang didn't really want to get used to them.

"Anyway, we have been resting for more than a day in the last dungeon." Li Yinhang said, "This time I will buy the selection ticket. We will immediately enter the dungeon and do the task."

Nan Zhou said lightly, "… Hmm."

He scooped the milky white mochi out of the sugar juice, took out two small plates, and evenly distributed one spoonful to Jiang Fang and Li Yinhang.

Jiang Fang's group was a little bigger.

He compared it, and secretly used a spoon to bring the edges of Jiang Fang's mochi balls to the middle, so that the two balls looked about the same size.

...as if the game in front of them didn't matter much to their inevitable mockery.

Li Yinhang was a little anxious, he put his hands on the edge of the table, and speeded up his speech: "Mr. Nan, decide quickly."

Nan Zhou was taken aback.

"... This is delicious." Nan Zhou said, "but I won't give you more."

Li Yinhang: "..."

She reacted for a while before realizing that Nan Zhou was protecting food.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a while: "What I said is, we have to enter the copy quickly!"

Nan Zhou: "And then what?"

Li Yinhang: "... ah?"

Li Yinhang: "Then... just do the dungeon quest. Mr. Nan, you bought oxygen once when you left 'Zhijin', and now there are only 12 hours of oxygen left; Brother Fang only has 8 hours left. . If we are sure that there will be no update this time, we will leave as soon as possible."

Nan Zhou took a deep look at Li Yinhang.

… She knew even more about their oxygen remaining than they did.

He realized that it was a very correct thing for him to choose Li Yinhang as his teammate.

But Nan Zhou was still in no hurry.

He drained the mochi from the sugar water, then picked up the beautiful glass cup, and slowly drank the sugar water inside: "This is not the way."

Li Yinhang: "Is there any way we can think about it slowly after entering the dungeon, without wasting oxygen, and some time..."

Having said that, Li Yinhang had no confidence in his heart.

To put it bluntly, they just can't swallow this breath now.

For example, I managed to draw a prize that looks very good from the prize pool, and normal people don’t want to let a simple update button take advantage of it.

But if the system restricts and disgusts them like this, not letting them enter the warehouse or letting them rest at the transfer station, as players, no matter how unwilling they are, they can only obediently patch and be arranged clearly.

Nan Zhou's thinking was completely different from hers.

"Does it really benefit us the longer we drag on?" he asked.

Li Yinhang: "..." That's true.

If they don't update, when they come back from the next mission, the system might be able to force the update of the backpack system of all players directly without consent.

"It takes time to make a patch," Nan Zhou said. "It took them more than 40 hours to make this patch, right?"

Having said that, Nan Zhou muttered.

“… The limit of R&D capabilities is just like that.”

Li Yinhang: "..."

If she heard correctly, Teacher Nan is using his 8-point taunting ability to negate the system's ability.

Nan Zhou was unaware of this, and confirmed to Li Yinhang again: "We can still spend 8 hours in Squirrel Town, right?"

Li Yinhang frowned.

… She has the gut feeling that the boss wants to do something big.

She was full of unease and looked at Jiang Fang for help.

Jiang Fang received the signal she released and nodded soothingly to her.

Immediately, he raised a red tea cup to Nan Zhou with a smile: "What choice do you want, I'll just follow the vote."

Li Yinhang: "..." She looked at Jiang Fang more than necessary.

"Besides this, I'm more concerned about another thing."

Jiang Fang gently put the black tea cup back on the saucer, and made a clear ceramic collision sound.

"Before, the game planner of "Gravity" has been hiding behind the scenes. Now, because of Mr. Nan's mistake, he has to show up."

"So, what is manipulating us behind the scenes and pulling us into the game?"

"Let's decide the winner, what is the purpose of realizing our wish?"

"and… "

Jiang Fang paused: "If that copy is really just a copy, and the copy boss is really their data, why do they care so much about a piece of reproducible data?"

"Isn't it OK to do it again? Why do you need to urgently issue a patch, update the warehouse, and restrict players?"

As he said, he held his cheeks and showed a beautiful smile to Nan Zhou:

"If I don't understand this, I don't want to hand over Mr. Door so easily." :,
