Because his mood has not been calm, Bai Yan has been watching legal programs very late.
In the end, he fell asleep on the chair unknowingly, and halfway he got up and lay down on the bed in a daze. He didn't wake up until half past ten in the morning.
After fully waking up, the first thing he did was to call Ye Shangyu.
"What's the matter?" Ye Shangyu's voice appeared, accompanied by a crackling sound of keyboard tapping.
"Are you in a team?"
"Normal difficulty does not need to form a team, let's talk about it later." After Ye Shangyu finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone, sounding very busy.
Ye Shangyu refused very decisively, and Bai Yan heard her implication.
Undoubtedly, Ye Shangyu intends to cooperate, but in her opinion, people who can't even survive the normal difficulty have no value in cooperation. It seems that the opportunity to form a team with her will have to wait after the sixth level.
After failing to invite Ye Shangyu, Bai Yan casually called Luo Xing.
"Beep...beep..."
There was no answer.
Bai Yan glanced at the time, he should still be in class at this point.
Although the summer vacation is over, students in the third year of high school still have to make up lessons during the holidays. Even if the school does not arrange it, many high school students will take the initiative to go to the cram school to teach themselves.
Luo Xing didn't answer the phone, and Bai Yan wasn't in a hurry.
He washed slowly, and combined breakfast and lunch into one meal.
At twelve noon, he called Luo Xing again, and this time he finally got through.
On the other side of the phone, there was a lot of voices, there were the voices of students chattering, and the voices of parents picking up their children, which was completely different from the quietness of Ye Shangyu.
"Don't call me if you have nothing to do. I'm busy and I want to study."
Without waiting for Bai Yan to speak, Luo Xing said first: "If it's about forming a team, you don't need to look for me anymore. I like teammates with a simple personality. That's it, hang up."
Luo Xing hung up the phone very quickly. Seeing his reaction, Bai Yan shook his head greatly. He felt that Luo Xing's mental quality was not good.
Yes, he and Ye Shangyu almost cheated him in the last game, but didn't they fail to cheat? As for being so vigilant
He doesn't even want to take this little loss, it seems that Comrade Luo Xing is not a qualified and honest person.
Bai Yan was greatly moved, it was really hard to find an honest teammate.
The sixth level of the game will start soon. The further you go, the harder it is for a purely honest person to exist. Honest people generally don't survive the end. Now it seems that Luo Xing doesn't want to be an honest person anymore.
Being rejected by two people one after another, Bai Yan felt a little depressed.
However, what Ye Shangyu said is also true, normal difficulty, the need for teammates is really not that great.
Even if a teammate on normal difficulty dies, they will generally not implicate others, but will only kill themselves. After reaching the difficult difficulty, one trigger will affect the whole body.
No longer thinking about his teammates, Bai Yan spent the rest of the time exercising and reading posts as usual.
On the way, he also opened Chu Fu's live broadcast room.
After the face-to-face in reality, Chu Fu's live broadcast room is still open, and it is much more prosperous than half a month ago.
When Bai Yan opened it, Chu Fu just started broadcasting. Compared with half a month ago, her appetite has gradually increased.
At that time, Chu Fu’s live broadcast was to eat ten barrels of instant noodles, but they were only half the size of normal barrels of instant noodles, and they were no more than five bowls of noodles together.
But this time, she placed eight bowls of noodles in front of her, and each bowl was a standard one-person serving. The table was full and very heavy.
Taking a casual glance, Bai Yan stopped paying attention.
Chu Fu was insignificant to him, and it would be a waste of time to look at her more.
He is the one who wants to clear the game to get a big gift package. People like Chu Fu who are destined not to live to the end are not worthy of his attention. In fact, Chu Fu has already surprised him by being able to survive till now.
How did she survive the first few levels with almost no brains
…
Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye, the day to enter the game has come.
Bai Yan opened the app and clicked on the icon of the sixth level. When he finished clicking, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. He stood at the entrance of a shopping mall, and the first thing he did was to look down at his phone.
[Match successful]
[Number of players: 2]
[Game Difficulty: Normal]
[Level description: This round of the game is 'Ghost Mall'. Follow the game prompts to find out the cause of death of the four missing persons, and successfully protect any designated NPC from the mall, which is considered a game victory.]
[Background introduction: You are a well-known detective. Recently, you received four strange commissions.
The relatives of the four clients disappeared mysteriously. The missing persons did not know each other, and they had no connection with each other.
The only clue you get is that they all disappeared in the same shopping mall. Perhaps, there is some unknown secret hidden in this shopping mall...]
[game rules:]
[1. In this round of the game, the player's identity is a detective, and the NPC will automatically trust the player's identity. The duration of this round of the game is 12 hours, exceeding the game time is considered a failure of the game.]
[2. The names of designated NPCs will be marked in red above the head. The four NPCs will arrive at the entrance of the mall at 9 o'clock, 11 o'clock, 13 o'clock, and 15 o'clock respectively. Players can just wait at the entrance of the mall.]
[3. Players need to find out the cause of death of the four missing persons and protect any designated NPC from leaving the mall. After meeting the conditions, click the 'return' button on the phone to leave the game.]
"Protection games, it seems that the NPCs in this level can't be used casually..."
After reading the rules of the game, Bai Yan felt a pity.
The NPC in the game is, in a sense, the player's second life.
If there is something that looks dangerous, you can fool the NPC to go first. The NPCs in this level cannot be used casually, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the game in this level.
"And the app directly calls the natives of the game world NPCs. No wonder a bunch of players in the forum think that NPCs are not living people. The app really has bad intentions."
Bai Yan flashed this thought, but didn't pursue it further.
It doesn't matter what the app is planning, anyway, as long as it's not bad for his customs clearance gift bag, he doesn't bother to care about the conspiracy behind the app.
His good brother is still waiting for him to help arrange his life, so he has no time to delve into superfluous things.
Looking away from the screen, Bai Yan stood at the entrance of the mall and looked around.
At the door, people in twos and threes wandered the street, and a staff member in a doll costume was trying to distribute leaflets, but few people paid any attention.
Bai Yan glanced around, but didn't find the NPC with the scarlet letter above his head.
However, he still gained something because he saw a familiar person.
This made him extremely disgusted.
Before he could express his disgust, the other end said in surprise: "Wang...cough, why are you here?"
Bai Yan chuckled and made a gesture of cutting his neck.
At this moment, Chu Fu was about to cry, why was she so unlucky, and why did she meet this psychopath again
She's probably going to lose this game!
Seeing Chu Fu's brilliant expression, Bai Yan knew that she must be scolding him again in her heart.
But Bai Yan didn't care, instead he greeted her with a smile: "What a coincidence, we meet again."
"Ha... haha... It's fate to meet again." Chu Fu laughed dryly, her eyelids twitching: "May I ask what your old round is called?"
"You can just call me Wang Ze. There are only two of us in this game, and no third player will know about it." Bai Yan pointed out, "No matter what happens."
Although Chu Fu's brain is not bright, but after listening to Bai Yan's 'hint', her face turned greener - only the two of us, no matter what happens, no third person will know, what are you going to do to me? what!
Thinking of the person's style in the first level, Chu Fu felt that she was very dangerous.
She never felt like it was over.
Wang Ze is a small-minded person, she has never seen such a shameless man.
Now, there are only the two of them in this game, no matter how stupid she is, based on her experience of watching countless TV dramas, she knows what this means, isn't this a great opportunity to kill people and silence them
How could this psychopath let go of this opportunity if he didn't kill her in reality
Chu Fu felt that she had grown a lot after going through five games.
If she had just finished the first level of the game, she would definitely run away when she saw Wang Ze again, but now, she can hold her own and deal with him with a stiff smile.
Looking at Bai Yan's narrowed eyes, Chu Fu's tailbone was extremely vigilant.
Chu Fu thought she was acting calm, but seeing her performance, Bai Yan sighed inwardly. It's been five games, and she's still so stupid. How did she survive until now
Originally, Bai Yan thought that teammates on normal difficulty were not that important.
But the moment he saw Chu Fu, he realized that he was wrong. Teammates are really useful. If you don’t find reliable people to form a team, you will be matched with such people.
If it's another mode, it's okay, this kind of protection game that needs to be decrypted, he feels that he can give up the brains of his teammates.
Forget it, it's the same if I want to survive, just treat this game as a single player game.
Ignoring the unnatural Chu Fu, Bai Yan looked down at the time, and it was one minute before nine o'clock.
At exactly nine o'clock, a little loli with a scarlet letter on her head walked to the entrance of the mall. She was downcast and looked only about seven or eight years old, with worry and uneasiness written all over her face.
Looking at her bright red eyes, it was obvious that she had cried not long ago.
Seeing the NPC approaching, Bai Yan and Chu Fu quickly stopped her.
Being blocked by two adults, little Lolita was not afraid. She looked up at the two of them and tried her best on tiptoe, "Brother, sister, are you the detectives who helped me find my mother? My mother is missing and she hasn't returned for a day." I'm home, and I can't find her anywhere."
Seeing the two nodding, the little loli took out a handful of coins from her pocket, stretched out her hand and whispered: "This is all my pocket money, can you help me find my mother? My name is Cai Yu, brothers and sisters, you can call me Xiaoyu, I haven't seen my mother since last night, and I'm really worried about her."
Seeing Cai Yu's sad look, Chu Fu fell silent. Even knowing that this is just an NPC, she couldn't bear to tell her that her mother was dead, and she would never see her living mother again.
