The two wine glasses touched lightly, and a crisp sound was heard when the cup walls collided.
No one is a sucker. Being willing to spend more than 10,000 points to buy a chance to form a team shows that Ji Yuanzhi has almost 100% confidence in collecting intelligence from himself.
It could be a skill, or it could be through some kind of prop.
In comparison, Wen Shi actually prefers to team up with the Puppet Guild. It is dangerous, but at least he knows the source of the danger.
"Reminder: You have received 14,040 points."
"Reminder: Players who have reached a single transaction amount of 10,000 points will receive a 9.8% discount card*1."
"Thank you for your support of the game trading platform. Random props have been distributed. Please check them carefully."
Ji Yuanzhi suddenly asked: "What gift did you get?"
His tone was very casual; he was simply curious and it didn't matter to him whether the other party responded or not.
Wen Shi had already opened his backpack and said, "A thank you letter."
After that, both of them were silent for a while.
Because it was so bizarre, Ji Yuanzhi actually believed that what he said was true.
Open the envelope when it is warm.
Dear leaders of Frank Hospital:
Two years ago, I was depressed because of the failure of my business, and gradually developed symptoms such as auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, and sleepwalking. I saw many doctors and none of them worked. Just when I was in despair, I met Dr. Aaron.
After learning about my condition, Dr. Aaron patiently guided me and encouraged me not to give up. After actively cooperating with a series of treatments, I finally recovered in March this year.
Thank you, Frank Hospital, for training such excellent doctors.
Respectfully submitted by the patient.
Wen Shi: “…”
Two years ago, he hadn't even graduated from college, let alone entered the gaming industry.
And this patient You, his last name is You, could it be You?! So this is a forged thank you letter from You
He further clicked into the item information:
[Thank you letter: A thank you letter from a patient that proves that you are a professional doctor.]
Wen Shi took a deep breath, then exhaled naturally considering Ji Yuanzhi was present, but his cheeks twitched unnaturally for a moment.
The instantaneous change of expression could not be hidden from the old fox Ji Yuanzhi. He was sure that this prop was even more outrageous than he had imagined.
“Is the thing useful?”
Wen Shi directly picked up the red wine bottle and took a sip, then said: "I swear, if you got this gift, you wouldn't even have tears to cry."
"… "
Wen Shi took a minute to digest the fact of the thank-you letter. He had generated a [Doctor] code when the previous copy was settled. With the patient's certificate, it was at least more convincing.
He could find nothing else to comfort himself.
Yawning lazily, Wen Shi carried the half-finished bottle of wine and prepared to return to the guest room.
He took two steps towards the elevator, then thought of something and turned to wave to Ji Yuanzhi: "Good night, Mr. Sponsor. See you tomorrow."
Skipping the previous address, Ji Yuanzhi grasped the key words: "Tomorrow?"
Wen Shi nodded: "Aren't we going to form a team?"
If the player does not actively enter the dungeon, the game will forcibly send him into the dungeon at regular intervals, usually no more than ten days. Ji Yuanzhi thought he would delay until the last day.
"I earned a lot of points for nothing, so it would be rude to eat and drink for free."
What Wen Shi was thinking about was sustainable development. He shouldn’t go too far this time and stay here again next time. After all, the guest room environment was still very good.
He suddenly decided to quit, which made Ji Yuanzhi feel a little uncomfortable.
The elevator door opened and Wen Shi walked in. Before the door closed, he could still be seen standing inside blowing into the bottle.
Ji Yuanzhi took off his glasses and wiped them, but he didn't realize that this man also had the characteristics of an alcoholic.
Wen Shi actually doesn't like drinking much.
Now, in the spirit of recalling the past and thinking of the present, I recall the night when I blew the wine into the bottle in the first copy, reminding myself that life is not easy.
The next day, it was Wen Shi who took the initiative to contact Ji Yuanzhi.
In terms of perfect Party B, no one could do better than him. How could he still be so indifferent when the copy was just released the day before
Ji Yuanzhi knocked on the door dressed as a waiter. His style is completely different when he is wearing glasses and without them. When he is without glasses, his temperament seems much gentler, without that aggressive sharpness.
"If you want to team up for role-playing..." Wen Shi paused and said solemnly, "You have to pay extra."
"I just don't want to draw attention to myself." Ji Yuanzhi pushed the dining cart aside. "Once others know that we are going to play a dungeon now, a lot of people will choose to join the dungeon and try their luck to be assigned to a round."
With more people paying attention, the safety factor will drop sharply.
[Player 377777 uses the team-building prop to invite you to join a team. Do you agree to the invitation? ]
Wen Shi: "You have a good number."
After saying that, he made a choice: "Agree to the invitation."
[Team formation successful]
[Matching the copy, please wait... ]
[Players please note that the difficulty of this match exceeds your current ability level. It is recommended to purchase props or use skills in advance]
This crappy game is deceiving me into buying things again.
Wen Shi didn't even look at it. Who knows if the props he picked blindly are useful? He chose to consider the latter: "Can I use the skills in advance?"
[Additional fee required]
"… "
It must be an artificial system, right? It must be an artificial intelligence system! Otherwise, why would he throw the exact words he said to Ji Yuanzhi a minute ago back in his face
Wen Shi is now considered a big buyer of primary dogs. When it is time to chop off his hands, he is still willing to do so: "Use skills."
[Skill 'I am me' activated, searching for the target...]
[Can I use 100 points to enjoy the support recommended by the game? ]
It was only ten points last time, but now it is almost as much as the cost of using the skill itself.
Wait, can’t catch up.
Wen Shi looked at the remaining points, and the game said that he had to pay more money, so he directly doubled the summoning points.
Wen Shi said expressionlessly: "Recommend it."
He is not arrogant enough to challenge an A-level copy head-on.
While Wen Shi was being fleeced by the game, a new column appeared on the screen outside, which was densely packed with dungeon matches. No one paid much attention to it at first, until a player who was specifically checking the status of his teammates stopped in front of the screen and accidentally noticed the player number: 460872.
This extremely ordinary number is now known to everyone in the entire virtual world.
The game duration is currently less than thirty seconds, proving that you have just entered the dungeon.
After being stunned for a few seconds, the player immediately shared this explosive news with the guild: [Fuck you! That newcomer... the one with number 460872, actually went straight to the dungeon! ]
The player typed a bunch of messages again, full of doubts about the newcomer's immediate entry, and speculated whether he was forced by the Second Commandment. Before the second message was sent, the communicator rang.
"Which book? Be more specific."
"Are you dead? It's broken here."
The player swallowed and said, "The difficulty is A."
A and A seem to be only slightly different, but in fact, there is a world of difference. A+ level dungeons are much more difficult than A level, and they can be upgraded to S at any time. According to incomplete statistics, there are about 50 A+ dungeons upgraded every year. All players who enter this kind of dungeon will be extra careful. It is better not to get these 50 places.
"The copy of "The Factory" has been successfully loaded."

Warm reminder: Honesty is important, but proper communication skills are also important]
[Also, since you have world fragments, you have an inherent advantage in this instance]
When Wen Shi opened his eyes again, he was already in a dim environment and it was very bumpy, as if he was in a car.
"The car is broken! Anyway, the distance is not far, you can just walk over!" The driver said, opened the door, and cursed: "Why is the lighting in the tunnel broken?"
The driver had a very bad temper. He started scolding his mother, then his father, and finally his ancestors. He was in a very abnormal state. Wen Shi sat in his seat holding his breath, not daring to make any sound.
He was sitting alone in a single seat and didn't know if there were other people on the bus. In short, the car was completely silent except for the driver's shouting.
"Headache! Damn it! What happened today?" The driver knocked his head desperately.
Bang bang bang.
The same knocking sound came from the side. Wen Shi sat up straight subconsciously and heard someone outside knocking on the window violently. This frequency did not sound like a normal person at all.
"Oh no!" Wen Shi remembered that the driver had just opened the car door.
Before he could warn the driver, he could clearly hear something running onto the bus, and there was more than one.
"Ah! What the hell? Get out of here!" The driver seemed to realize something in his horrified cry: "No, no, no, I just used the Beauty Spirit Liquid yesterday. My mind is still pure, pure..."
Before he could finish the last few words, the driver was thrown violently onto his seat.
The twisted monster pierced his skin with its sharp teeth. The driver waved his arms desperately to block it, but it was of no avail. Wen Shi keenly smelled the smell of blood and heard chewing sounds, like wild beasts sharing their prey.
Wen Shi had seen animals sharing a corpse.
Two years ago, when he was doing volunteer work, he noticed that something was wrong with the mutual aid society. After some private investigation, Wen Shi discovered that the mutual aid society secretly brainwashed members who had suffered serious mental trauma and asked them to donate their property. For members who wanted to quit midway, the mutual aid society adopted a series of cruel measures, and even ended up killing people.
When the police arrived, Wen Shi, the reporter, followed them and found the body of the victim bitten by rats in the sewer.
The deceased had been gnawed almost to a bloody skeleton, but the rat was still using its teeth to pick at the few remaining pieces of meat on the bones.
The sound was very similar to the noise coming from the front seat.
The tunnel was equally unsafe. The sounds of knocking on the windows became more and more intense. As the screams from the driver's seat gradually faded away, the knocking sounds echoed more clearly in the tunnel.
There were only two choices before Wen Shi: get off the bus or continue sitting in his seat.
The bloody smell from the front compartment had drifted to the back seat. Wen Shi gently rubbed his fingertips. Before the driver died, he shouted that he had used the Beauty Spirit Liquid, emphasizing that his mind was still pure. Combined with the big framework of the world background, it is very important to have a pure mind to survive in this world. The driver was attacked by monsters because he was "not pure enough", but he, the passenger, might have "met the standard", otherwise the monsters would not have had to lie dormant in the darkness before. They pounced on the driver without any hesitation.
Wen Shi was more inclined to believe that there were other people sitting in the car, and it would be a waste to carry only one person in one car.
If this is the case, everyone should have similar thoughts and choose not to move for the time being.
Another thirty seconds passed.
The driver was completely silent, and the monster that was banging on the window finally stopped.
In the darkness, someone got off the bus.
Wen Shi also began to feel a little restless, so he stood up and groped for the handrail in the dark. As a result, he touched a real hand. Both of them were startled, but they immediately tried hard to hold back from screaming.
There is sweat and temperature, and that hand comes from a human.
He was now certain that he was not the only one in the car.
The air circulation gradually became obstructed, and figures kept approaching. Soon, there were people standing in front, behind, and on both sides of Wen Shi. Perhaps because the front door was where the monster came in, the passengers were in a hurry to get off the bus and all squeezed to the back door.
The process of getting off the bus was very slow, and the passengers at the front stepped carefully to avoid being attacked by the monsters outside. No one dared to use lighting props, including Wen Shi, for fear of becoming a sitting duck in the dark.
The rear compartment began to stir subtly.
It only takes a few seconds for a car to move from the front to the back. After the monsters attacking the driver had a feast, they did not get off the car immediately, but became silent. This was the most terrifying thing. No player could be sure whether the person standing next to them was a human or a monster.
Wen Shi tried to catch the breathing sounds of the people around him, but heard some discordant rustling sounds.
A rush of air rushed from the front. He had only taken a few steps, so he immediately stepped back and clung to the edge of the seat. In front of him, a black shadow swooped past, and the gust of wind swept across his cheek. Wen Shi vaguely caught the black shadow saying the word "hungry".
"Hungry, so hungry..."
He soon determined that this was not an auditory hallucination.
Wen Shi dodged too quickly and failed to pounce on his desired prey, so the black shadow randomly selected the next target to attack.
The car was in complete chaos.
“Dead, dead, I’m not even an elite player, why is it an A-level dungeon, what sin have I committed…” In the chaotic scene, the previous short-lived order was broken, and people swarmed into chaos.
The other party was extremely nervous and kept muttering to himself while holding the props.
Based on the principle of doing one good deed a day, of course the most important thing is that this person is shaking non-stop. No matter what is attacking them, they will definitely give priority to the weak. The two are so close, Wen Shi doesn't want to be implicated.
"Stop yelling, there's a new player here."
This sentence successfully shut him up, and after a while he managed to utter, "Are you kidding?"
Wen Shi was too lazy to pay attention to him and whispered to find a backer: "Dad, financial sponsor, where are you?"
Having spent so many points, he couldn't just leave himself to fend for himself. If he could take advantage of the other party's free labor, he could get out of the tunnel without any effort.
"Dad, Dad, look at me—"
"..." The player next to Wen Shi who was originally frightened twitched his mouth.
He now believes that this is a new player. Look, the kid is so scared that he is going crazy.
