…
This is a big problem.
Tang Xinjue was silent for a few minutes, and then listened to Guo Guo finish what he saw in the sea of consciousness.
It's just that this time, the two couldn't match up the contents of their minds—because the memories Guo Guo saw at that time had no pictures at all!
In Tang Xinjue's mind, the part-time job memory was still clear, but in Guo Guo's eyes, there was only a hazy, gray-black mist that melted in water, and he could only "hear" sporadic conversations.
[Excuse me, what is my duty? ]
[It's very simple, this is a university town, your duty is of course... to help the students. ]
After a strange sentence sentence, the memory fragment came to an abrupt end.
Judging from the content, almost no information was revealed. But it is because of this that it seems even more weird-how can a person's normal memory have only sound but no picture
Combining the key words of Guo Guo's question at the time, plus the outrageous reality supplemented by Zheng Wanqing personally as a witness-if this is not considered "strange thing", then even the game will not seem so dark.
Everyone's expressions became serious, Zhang You said solemnly: "Xin Jue, I suggest you recall it again."
Tang Xinjue closed his eyes for a long while, rubbed his eyebrows with a wry smile, and shook his head: "I really can't remember."
When not pointed out, those memories are still normal in the mind, but at the moment of being pointed out, the familiar picture becomes distorted and faded like a canvas suddenly soaked in oil, becoming stiff and false.
This also confirms the answer Guo Guo found.
Tang Xinjue thought that the beginning of the nightmare was actually far more than that car accident - long before that, the unknowing shadow had already shrouded it.
And she, or everyone, is still ignorant.
"So to sum it up, I thought I found a customer service job at a university in the outer suburbs, and even worked for many days. But in reality, it was an abandoned cemetery, and there was no university town at all—this was a false memory."
Tang Xinjue simply connected several key words on paper, and changed his style of writing:
"And now, when Guo Guo searches for keywords related to games in my memory, the effect of the medicine is precisely positioned on this experience."
Then the crux of the matter lies in the real part behind this false memory.
What did she do in that "university city"
Is this the hint that A Wan gave her
"If the four words [help students] are interpreted literally, then there seems to be nothing wrong with the telephone customer service." After recovering, Guo Guo couldn't figure it out again: "Could it be that we will be customer service in the next exam?"
In this way, from the perspective of tit for tat, it is indeed understandable why the game customer service is strictly guarded against their stereotypes this time, and is unwilling to let a few people have a chance to escape.
Tang Xinjue: "I don't rule out the possibility."
"So this time, for the sake of caution, we have to imagine all the possibilities to the greatest extent and simulate them in advance."
—Especially beware of a surprise start like the last dungeon.
Zhang You subconsciously worried: "Is there enough time? It's already six in the afternoon, even if we don't rest until the exam at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, the time is only 14 hours."
Tang Xinjue: "Then there will be no exam."
Guo Guo: "Oh, that's good... Huh???"
Several people were startled, and then they realized: Yes! Who said they have to take the exam? !
In fact, the game only stipulates that each dormitory must take the test at least once a week, and as long as they pass the dormitory, they will not be eliminated.
However, the frequency of the exam that was almost full every day was the amount of tasks that a few people actively increased in order to quickly improve their strength. After getting used to it, they forgot this most basic rule—they can also be challenged!
The death warning is all over your face, why do you still rush up to participate, think you didn't die early enough
"Let me see... It's Tuesday, and we've already taken the Zombie Siege exam on Monday. The minimum KPI for rounding up this week has been completed. If you don't consider the extracurricular competitions on the weekend, you can have up to five consecutive days off!"
No matter how many vicissitudes he has experienced, Guo Guo's eyes still flashed the purest excitement and happiness of a student when he mentioned the word "holiday".
This kind of rest, which is comparable to a small holiday, was unimaginable in the game before.
Zheng Wanqing said from another perspective: "If you want to participate in the weekend competition, you must take the test no less than three times a week. If you give up the competition and lose so much progress. We managed to maintain the leading position, and it is very likely that other Candidates come from behind."
Guo Guo immediately retorted: "There is an old saying that goes well, that sharpening a knife is not the same as chopping firewood."
Zheng Wanqing was indifferent: "There is an old saying that learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat."
Guo Guo burst into tears: "Miss, although I know you are the god of scrolling, but we have all entered this broken game, do you want to continue scrolling?"
Zheng Wanqing: "... I'm sorry, I'm used to it."
But having said that, Zheng Wanqing's consideration is also reasonable. After all, their ultimate goal is to completely clear the level and leave the game, not to retire in it.
Ultimately, the lead time was nailed down to between 2 and 4 days.
"Predicting exams, designing models, upgrading abilities, hoarding supplies..." Guo Guo counted his fingers seriously, and suddenly found a problem: "Then what am I mainly responsible for?"
"Your mission is quite important."
Tang Xinjue didn't know when she bought a strangely shaped helmet from the mall. It was so weird that it looked like a simulated prop from a children's science fiction film.
A bad premonition suddenly rose in Guo Guo's heart.
Next, the helmet was unquestionably put on her head.
Tang Xinjue looked at her seriously: "Do you still remember how I attacked you in the vision of prophecy?"
Guo Guo hesitated: "... It seems that the eyes that attacked first took away a ball of white light, and then..."
"That's right, I'll attack your celestial eyes first." Tang Xinjue said: "Under normal circumstances, a person's abilities cannot be taken away. But your auxiliary characteristics are more inclined to the spiritual field, so if it's me , I will most likely choose mental strength as the breakthrough point—this is the part you need to exercise."
Wearing a helmet, Guo Guo still half understood: "How do I exercise?"
The next second, she heard Tang Xinjue's voice in her mind.
The voice said, "Stand on your head."
Guo Guo: "???"
While question marks were floating in her mind, she found herself moving.
That command seemed to pass directly over her own brain and send a signal to her limbs. What's even more outrageous is that the limbs actually accepted it!
Then Guo Guo watched as he bent over to support the ground, and began to try to stand on his head—
"Etc., etc!"
However, at this moment, a familiar warmth suddenly appeared between her brows, and then a small electric current seemed to pass through the helmet, which shocked her brain and gave her an inexplicable feeling:
This kind of control doesn't seem to be completely inescapable
Sensing the movement of Guo Guo's mental power, Tang Xinjue nodded: "To resist mental attacks, you mainly rely on willpower and the assistance of props. When you can completely ignore my basic mental control, the training will basically be considered successful."
Guo Guo: "But, but I feel that I may not be able to persist until then, woo woo woo."
In less than half a minute, the beads of sweat on the top of her head were already bigger than soybeans, and even her hairline was straining crazily, her whole body was like a large pain mask.
Tang Xinjue was also very gentle: "It's okay, this is just the beginning, it's okay to fail, at most it's just scrapping a helmet."
"Oh, that's right." She added: "The price of this helmet is 200 points."
Guo Guo: "Who said I can't persevere? Isn't it just to exercise willpower? I like to exercise willpower the most. I have super strong willpower since I was a child. Give me a few more minutes, it's nothing, I just like to stand on my head..."
…
That night.
The TV was still buzzing, No Nose Ghost had finished broadcasting the neighborhood disputes in the university town, and was warned by the ringtone because he mispronounced several words. The man's blood-red long tongue drooped straight into the 606 dormitory.
…and then ignored.
Guo Guo and Zheng Wanqing were busy training, Tang Xinjue was replaying the copy, only Zhang You, the bookkeeper, looked up and asked casually: "Why do they basically enter when they come out of the TV?" Are they all our dormitories?"
Tang Xinjue replied bluntly: "Probably because the consumption level in the university town is not good enough, few people can afford a TV. They can only count as whichever they wear."
Recalling the copy of the highway and changing the environment of the community, I really didn't see any house with a TV installed. Zhang You was thoughtful: "Then I guess their salary level is not high. Seeing that the working hours are quite a lot every day, it is true that the workers are the same no matter where they are."
No-nosed ghost working diligently: "..."
It's even more worrying!
When the No-Nosed Ghost crawled back crying and started broadcasting, all TV stations gradually shut down in the middle of the night. Amidst Bai Tuanzi's chirping and the usual patrolling footsteps outside the dormitory, the four in 606 also rested one by one.
Just before falling asleep with the helmet on, Guo Guo murmured in a half-dream and half-awake state: "It seems that something has been forgotten... it must be an illusion?"
"—Ding ding ding, ding ding ding—"
"SURPRISE!!!"
The cheerful bell rang slowly, and it was only after the four of them woke up from a pure white space with dazed faces that they realized what they had forgotten.
Sure enough, as soon as he turned his head, he saw a group of puppets driving a miniature car chug over from a distance.
"Welcome to the blueprint space again~ After testing, you have received [bedroom decoration upgrade package X1], and we are still in charge of this construction!"
The little puppet jumped out of the car, checked the information in a serious manner, and then started to work without any explanation, leaving the four in 606 looking at each other.
"But, it seems that we haven't applied for decoration during the day?"
Little Puppet: "The decoration package will take effect immediately after you get it, no need to apply manually!"
Tang Xinjue looked around: "The decoration content is fixed?"
Little puppet: "The big frame is fixed! We will increase the height of the dormitory, and then let the customer decide the details~"
As soon as the puppet's voice fell, the construction team saw that the entire blueprint space was raised a lot upwards, and the dormitory was abruptly created with a sense of sight of a small jump.
606:
Can the bedroom still be like this
"Okay~"
The puppet captain clapped his hands happily: "Then the next step is... wait! What is that?"
With a bang, all the puppets suddenly looked up in horror, holding their faces and screaming: "Help! The blueprint space has collapsed!!"
From the ceiling, a huge gift box fell down without warning, filling the entire space in an instant.
