Forces of Temptation

Chapter 61: 8-hour game battle (2)

Views:

There are not many players who choose to rest in Squirrel Town.

Different from the urban prosperity of Rusty Capital, and different from the sensual dogs and horses of paper gold, Squirrel Town is a leisure and comfortable, colorful fairy tale style.

The architectural style is a European castle, and the main colors are warm orange-brown and pink.

I have to say that after experiencing life and death, blood and fire, Squirrel Town is as beautiful as an unreal dream.

Most players will choose a fixed city to rest.

The five themed cities in "Gravity" each have their own characteristics.

Players who are accustomed to ordinary urban life will choose the "Rust City" that is most similar to their daily habits.

Those who want to indulge in sensuality and seek excitement will choose the "paper gold" of the disparity between the rich and the poor, one second of heaven, and one second of hell.

Players who are a little wilder will choose "Old City State".

It is said to be a spartan ruined wall with a huge circular open-air Colosseum at the center.

That's where the game's arena is located in the normal version of Gravity.

Players will choose to PK in the arena.

Winners can get points and prop rewards.

Of course, players can also initiate unilateral challenges, using a variety of green, orange, and purple weapons to bet against each other.

I don’t know what the hell the arena looks like in the current game that the operator behind the scenes has changed.

As the most girlish fairy tale island, "Squirrel Town", together with "Homeland Island", a Robinson-style farming island, has become a dream place far away from the other three "fancy world".

Surrounded by the sound of the waves and the chirping of seagulls.

Players who come to Squirrel Town will be fixedly teleported to an arc-shaped white sand beach that stretches for several miles, and a ticket will be automatically refreshed in their hands.

Everything is exactly the same as the steps to enter the amusement park in the real world, with a sense of ritual.

Players only need to swipe the electronic ticket at the gate to enter, and they can roam freely in the coconut sea, European wind, sand sea and castle.

Relatively speaking, the functionality of Squirrel Town is weaker than that of the other four transit stations.

Its original main function is to provide a playground for players over 12 years old, mainly for family entertainment.

In the center of the town, the parent-child movie city in the shape of a crystal castle is the most popular and can be used to play family movies.

Other players only need to wear the home version of the VR glasses, and they can directly experience the joy of watching movies with the whole family.

Because of its weak functionality and entertainment, most of the people who choose to settle in Squirrel Town are salted fish players who do not want to compete.

Of course, there are also players who use a relatively peaceful environment to seek their own way of life.

They are actively investing their energy and trying to discover the commercial function of Squirrel Town.

"Clanging Little Rose" is one of the entrepreneurial teams.

This is a team of four female players.

There were originally five of them. After biting the bullet and participating in a dungeon and losing a member, they killed them and refused to go again.

Now, they make a living by selling dungeon information in exchange for points.

To be honest, this business is not easy to do.

First, players are selfish.

They are not willing to take the initiative to share their own copy experience.

After all, everyone is in a competitive relationship. Who wants to tell others about their dungeon clearance experience that they have worked so hard and even sacrificed their teammates

Others know the key points, and it's easy to get over it, so wouldn't they have lost a lot of money by trial and error

However, it's okay to share.

have to add money.

"Clanging Little Rose" doesn't have much primitive accumulation on hand, and it can't fill up the money.

So, they chose the easiest way—

In some restaurants and bars, order a glass of boiled water to squat and listen to the bragging of players who have just returned from the dungeon.

Some people's dungeons are not very difficult, and they have gained a lot. Coupled with the nervous excitement and strong desire to talk about the rest of their lives, they will be more willing to talk about their experiences for free.

They hid nearby, pricked up their ears, and recorded secretly.

It has to be said that although this kind of behavior is a bit wretched, they have indeed accumulated a batch of intelligence through this method.

Of course, this kind of second-hand information will inevitably add fuel to the details, and the details will be distorted.

If you don't come up to talk and add details, the information you have at hand may not be useful.

In order to avoid trouble, some intelligence dealers who traveled with them simply turned into writers, and based on the sporadic information they heard, they made up their own way of forging a copy of the customs clearance, and sold a set of copy information to the players.

Of course, "Clanging Little Rose" also had this kind of careful thought.

After all, as far as the intelligence they have heard so far, no two teams of players have experienced the same instance.

Even if the fabricated information is sold, it is not necessarily harmful to the chances of people.

But because this act was too filthy, they couldn't bear the responsibility of dying. After several girls discussed and argued, they still couldn't do it.

Therefore, they had to find another way and chose the most beautiful one among them. Once they heard a player discussing a valuable dungeon, they would take the initiative to attack after gathering some information by eavesdropping.

The battle plan is different.

If the other party is a male player, immediately express admiration with various star eyes and give full praise.

If the other party is a female player, be sincere and ask for advice immediately.

Female players give them respect and kindness, relatively speaking, a little more.

"Clanging Little Rose" even reached a relatively stable long-term cooperative relationship with three teams dominated by female players.

After they come back from the copy, they will sell the copy information to "Little Rose" at a low price.

"Little Rose" will also do its best to provide them with one or two copies of the information they have for free.

The source of intelligence even has it.

But their days were not much better.

ap;nb--gt;gt;

sp; How to sell copy information is also a headache.

Most of the players who will come to buy dungeon information do not have much money.

They will question the authenticity of the dungeon information, suspect that the information in it is adulterated, and worry that other teams deliberately provide false information to kill other teams' players, and they can rise a few more on the leaderboard.

Every kind of picky, every kind of disgust.

But after all, players who really don't believe in the information on the dungeons sold will not waste their precious time coming to them to inquire.

After inquiring about the price, they came to chat with them again, nothing more than hoping that "Clanging Little Rose" would lower the price and get a little discount, and try to obtain information at the lowest price.

At first, "Clanging Little Rose" also comforted herself "don't be a bastard if you have business", while stupidly lowering the price and packing, and selling a lot of information.

As a result, as soon as they turned their heads, the people who bought the information from them sold the information to other bigwigs at a price far higher than their selling price.

When the four girls learned of this situation, they were almost gasped out of lobular hyperplasia.

After knocking out their teeth and swallowing blood, they became more concerned.

But with a good eye, it doesn't make the business any better.

Even if they tried their best to sell everywhere, the business was still very small, and the points earned were only enough for them to eat and breathe.

Even if they were the first batch of players to come in together with Qujinqu boss of Douzhuan Casino, up to now, the points they have accumulated on hand have only added up to 10,000 points, and they are dotted in the back row of the leaderboard, barely making ends meet. .

The harmonious and beautiful Squirrel Town is their daily activity place.

Today, the captain Shao Qian got up first.

… but it’s already nine o’clock.

She got up on tiptoe and made a pot of rice with the leftovers from yesterday and the ham that was about to expire.

She thought of the appearance girl Chu Wei who had a cold, and hesitated again and again, but she was still cruel, knocked two eggs in, and planned to make up for her.

Shao Qian received an update notification when the eggs were being scrambled.

She didn't even look at it, and just clicked Update.

… Anyway, little shrimp players like them have no need to resist the system.

After the update is complete, let's see what has been updated.

A few minutes later.

She held the spatula and stared at the updated page for more than ten seconds.

Then she quickly turned off the fire, threw herself on the bed, and woke the three sleepy-eyed girls one by one: "Wake up! Wake up!"

This update has been a mixed blessing for the four girls who barely survive on a small business.

The 500 points that fell from the sky only allowed them to experience short-term happiness.

What really makes them feel threatened is the new function of "World Channel".

—With this tool for instant communication, can’t players bypass these intelligence hawkers and communicate directly

Once there is a channel of communication and the isolation is out of the way, the simple wisdom of the people will grow exponentially.

They can trade items, and they must be able to exchange dungeon information.

What's the use of them then

If they can't be a middleman and can't make a difference, how will they live next

"Clanging Little Rose" decided not to sit still.

Chen Meibing, a girl who used to work in the advertising department, quickly started to draw up a publicity draft, and planned to take advantage of the new wave of the World Channel to spread the reputation of the small shop selling high-quality copy information - "Clanging Little Rose".

Worryingly, they have many competitors.

Fortunately, the captain Shao Qian updated the earliest, taking a little advantage in time.

So they have to be quicker and seize the opportunity of the first wave of publicity.

Chen Meibing and Shao Qian discussed how to make the advertisement more explosive.

Jogging enthusiast Lu Lulu, as usual, went to check how many players there are in Squirrel Town today.

After she had breakfast, she would jog around town for a week, continuing to check for fresh faces to work with.

Chu Wei was wrapped in a blanket and stared at the World Channel to see if there were other intelligence dealers who released advertising information before them.

After watching for a while, she suddenly twitched her eyebrows: "... Huh?"

Shao Qian immediately raised her head nervously: "What's wrong? Has anyone posted an advertisement?"

Chu Wei: "No..."

She inhaled her stuffed nose: "Someone said something very strange on the World Channel."

In the newly launched World Channel, there are many people talking.

So Shao Qian swiped up several times before she saw what Chu Wei said... that "strange thing".

Cube Ark - Li Yinhang (Li Bank): Players who are currently in Squirrel Town, please leave the town within 8 hours.

Only one person below symbolically returned a question mark, and this sentence was submerged in a huge amount of information.

Shao Qian didn't take it to heart at all: "Don't pay attention to it."

After 5 minutes have passed.

Chu Wei, who had been staring at the World Channel, made a suspicious voice again: "… Huh?"

Ark Cube-Li Yinhang: Players who are currently in Squirrel Town, please leave the town within 7 hours and 55 minutes.

At the same time, Shao Qian also saw it.

She was also aroused a little curiosity: "What does this person want to do?"

At this time, Lu Lulu came back.

Shao Qian asked her casually, "Sanlu, how many players are there in the town now?"

Lu Lulu wiped her sweat with a white towel and replied, "1990. What's wrong?"

This data is obtained from the electronic card of the number of tourists updated in real time at the gate of the town.

- The same facilities as those amusement parks and scenic spots.

Hearing this data, Shao Qian shook her head with a smile.

—Everyone is resting well in the town, why should they leave

Besides, with just one word from this player, almost 2,000 people can be withdrawn in 8 hours

What about trouble? :,
