Ho ho ho! "
A robust adult howler monkey uttered a low, thunderous cry, and rushed towards π viciously.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
The opponent's body was much stronger than his own, and π was so frightened that he shrank into the corner helplessly, holding his head helplessly.
"Squeak!"
π called out to other monkeys around for help, but I don’t know if it was because everyone was not of the same species and couldn’t understand its call, or because everyone heard it but didn’t want to offend this howler monkey, none of the monkeys stood up Save it.
"Ho ho ho ho!"
The howler monkey roared even more triumphantly, with its huge nostrils turned up to the sky, and its head was as big as π's two heads.
π doesn't know how he got here, anyway, after opening his eyes, he is surrounded by a large group of monkeys, roughly estimated to be several hundred, distributed in a large space, and spontaneously divided into different groups. small groups.
These monkeys belonged to different species, and no two were the same, including extremely rare and even extinct monkey species. If human zoologists watched this scene, they would have a cerebral hemorrhage with excitement.
The monkeys are of different types and sizes, from the smallest being the size of a human palm to the largest being about the size of a short adult.
π has been in the pet shop for so long, and I have learned a lot, especially when I heard people often say a word—a dog that barks does not bite, and a dog that bites does not bark, which means that a dog that always likes to bark often does not easily Bite, and the silent dog may suddenly pounce on you and bite you.
As a folk proverb, this sentence is neither rigorous nor scientific, but as the crystallization of the wisdom of the masses, it has a certain degree of universality. Like those small dogs that bark incessantly when there is trouble, the possibility of biting people is indeed very small. , and those large, taciturn bulldogs are even more dangerous.
Among this group of monkeys, it was not the bluffing howler monkey that frightened π the most, but another grimacing mandrill.
The Grimacing Mandrill is huge, with a head bigger than that of a howler monkey, and its extremely developed jaw muscles are strong enough to crush the bones of other monkeys. The color of its face is mainly blue and red, and its dim yellow eyes are full of ferocity. When it walks on all fours, it looks like a little lion.
This grimacing mandrill almost never barks, but if it finds anyone displeased, it will pounce on it unawares and bite the opponent to a bloody mess.
In the center of the field, there was a large keyboard, more than one meter long, and with the monkeys of various shapes around, π knew that he was back in the test.
In the previous tests, after a long effort, it finally typed meaningful sentences and stood out from the crowd of monkeys, so this time as long as it is done in the same way, it will probably be fine, and it is confident.
The only problem is that the grimacing mandrill has taken over the keyboard, typing away in anger.
If it was an ordinary keyboard, it would have smashed the keyboard with its fists like this, but the keyboard was intact no matter how it smashed it, so it must be a very special keyboard.
π looked around and did not find the second keyboard. This is different from the previous test, and it seems to be more difficult.
As for the person hosting the test...
Pi held his head and peeked at the sky. Right above the keyboard, there was an erratic light cluster floating, as if monitoring them.
Most of the monkeys are cowering in the corner like π, dare not speak out, and there are bullying idiots like howler monkeys domineering.
"Squeak?"
When the howler monkey went to bully other monkeys again, π quietly nudged a golden monkey next to him with his elbow, pointed to the grimacing mandrill, then pointed to himself, and finally made a gesture of typing.
What it means is, can you help it distract Grimacing Mandrill, it wants to use that keyboard to type.
"Squeak."
The golden monkey waved his hand, turned his face away, and dismissed its plan, because this plan did not benefit the golden monkey, but it had to bear a huge risk, only a fool would help it.
"Squeak?"
π approached a macaque next to him and made the same request.
This macaque has a goatee and looks sophisticated. Instead of rushing to refuse, he also gestures a few times, meaning what good will this do him
π scratched his ears, this plan seems to be only good for him, why should other monkeys help him? If it were them instead, they might also refuse.
But it must escape, because it has not finished writing.
It sighed, envious of Vladimir's provocative speech. If Vladimir was here, it might be able to convince other monkeys.
But it’s hard to say, as the primates closest to humans, monkeys are as cunning and selfish as humans, and they are more short-sighted. They may not be as close to humans as cats. After all, cats are often caught by slaves. Small animals such as mosquitoes and geckos, so as not to starve to death servants who are too stupid to hunt.
So if there is no benefit, it is absolutely impossible to ask these selfish monkeys to help.
In fact, with so many monkeys, if they swarmed up, even a few more grimacing mandrills would be beaten to death by everyone, but expecting the monkeys to unite is worse than expecting them to evolve into humans.
π clenched his fists regretfully, but it's a pity that he didn't have his golden cudgel with him, otherwise he might really muster up the courage to rush up to challenge the Grimacing Mandrill. Now that he is bare-handed, rushing up is tantamount to death.
"Squeak?"
π made a new gesture to the macaque, meaning: playing games
"Squeak?" What game
The macaques became interested.
π glanced at the howler monkey and grimacing mandrill, and saw that they were not looking this way, so he stood up cautiously.
"The first thing you say when you wake up every day is to cheer yourself up!"
"Every time you miss a word, say sorry!"
It hummed a human brainwashing divine song, and its rhythmic rhythm immediately attracted the attention of nearby monkeys.
It not only hums well, but also squats down, stands upright, squats down, and stands upright along with the rhythm.
Monkeys like to play by nature, and they like to imitate. Their bodies can't help but sway with the melody, squatting down and standing up straight like π, just like some human races who especially like to smell chickens and dance.
"Pose! Pose!"
Grinning, π beats the beat like a DJ, correcting the monkeys' movements and quietly fine-tuning their positions.
The monkeys got more and more excited, swaying like a bunch of drunks.
It is very strenuous work for a group of undisciplined monkeys to squat down and stand upright according to their own instructions, but π can only come up with this way. Fortunately, the monkeys did not realize what they were doing. Just thought I was playing.
More and more monkeys joined π's dance troupe, and their movements became louder and louder, finally attracting the attention of the Grimacing Mandrill, which glared viciously at it.
The big keyboard in the middle is fixed on the ground and cannot be moved. If Grimacing Mandrill wants to shut up these noisy monkeys, it must leave the keyboard.
It seems to vaguely know the importance of this keyboard, which is the key to escape from here, and other monkeys also know it, so once it leaves, other monkeys may take advantage of it.
Therefore, the ghost-faced mandrill hesitated.
π feels the crisis, and the grimacing mandrill may rush over at any time after being provoked, and it will be the first to bear the brunt. You can't expect the mob monkeys to help.
Plus, it doesn't know if the plan will work because it's clearly not in the rules.
Even if its plan succeeds, can "breaking the rules" be sanctioned
It's not sure at all, but that's the only way it can go.
The ball of light floating above seemed to have noticed the situation here, and slowly floated over, watching the group of smiling monkeys condescendingly.
The monkeys themselves did not know that they had been quietly arranged by π to a specific position. Although they were not "vertical", they were at least "horizontal".
Observed from above from the perspective of light clusters, these monkeys formed a mini keyboard with only letter keys and a few control keys, without number keys and function keys.
And the way they squat down and stand upright, isn't it just like the keycap is pressed and rebounded
The monkeys thought they were singing and dancing, and all this could only be seen from a certain height above.
π believes that the light group can see it, because the purpose of these monkeys, including itself, is to hit the keyboard correctly.
But does it have to be the keyboard
What if you create a "keyboard" yourself
Break the rules.
[Navigation Elf]: Detected the creation and use of advanced tools, and is re-judging the level of this elf, and... the species this elf belongs to.
[Navigation Elf]: There is a possibility of elf self-evolution, it is recommended to archive this information and add it to the log. ,
What does it mean to create and use advanced tools
All the elves in this game are pets, in theory, but if... a certain elf starts to evolve into a more advanced species, does it still belong to a pet
Even the designer of this game may not have thought of this possibility. After all, the evolution of species often takes tens of thousands of years, and the possibility of it happening to an individual is really negligible.
If this goes on... the logic of the game itself may be challenged.
The nearby monkeys squeaked and played enthusiastically. π didn't hear the light group talking to himself, and even if he heard it, he didn't care. He just wanted to go home, a warm and safe home.
π is very guilty in his heart. He feels that there may be no essential difference between himself and other monkeys. They are all selfish and only want to escape by themselves. If it is Vladimir, he will definitely think of other ways, such as leading the monkey group to kill the Grimacing Mandrill first. Get down, try to attack that lofty light group again, and then lead everyone to escape together.
But it knew that it didn't have Vladimir's ability, and if only one of these monkeys was destined to escape, it would seize this opportunity at any cost, no matter how selfish it was.
The monkeys were crazy about playing, and the group of monkeys scattered in other corners also ran over to watch enviously, twisting their bodies indiscriminately, and even wanted to join them, but they were politely pushed aside by π and let them play by themselves .
Although the other monkeys were dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do, because only π could hum and it couldn't speak, but the humming melody fascinated them, making their bodies twist like magic.
There were even a few idle monkeys who spontaneously maintained order and kept other monkeys from getting too close.
Seeing his authority being challenged silently, Grimacing Mandrill finally couldn't stand it any longer. After observing, he found that a new monkey was leading the way.
Newcomers dare to rebel? Really ignorant!
Its dim eyes fixed on π's figure, gradually filled with murderous aura.
π felt its gaze, as if being stared at by a poisonous snake. Fortunately, after its continuous rehearsal, the monkeys' movements finally became more standardized.
"Mirror, mirror, tell me, where is my way out?"
"Work hard, I will work hard, I must escape!"
The other monkeys turned their backs to the Grimacing Mandrill, and they were all staring at π. Only π saw it. The furious Grimacing Mandrill abandoned the big keyboard and rushed towards this side frantically.
The dog that bites does not bark, the dog that calls does not bite, and the Grimacing Mandrill does not bark, it just wants to tear π apart.
"The first thing you say when you wake up every day is to cheer yourself up!"
π seems to be racing against the god of death. Although the monkeys have not yet fully practiced, but time is waiting for no one, it resolutely starts humming from the beginning.
The monkeys squatted down, stood up, squatted down, and stood up regularly like a conditioned reflex...
It's over! That's too late!
The speed of the ghost-faced mandrill was too fast, but the movements of the monkeys were unhurried. With a little calculation, π knew that it was too late to finish a complete and meaningful sentence before the ghost-faced mandrill rushed to tear it apart.
It's too late to temporarily change it to other shorter words, the monkeys don't have that ability.
Just when π was disheartened and just waiting to close his eyes and wait to die, he suddenly heard the sound of typing on the keyboard and a thunderous roar.
It turned out that the howler monkey had been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. Seeing the ghost face, the mandrill left the big keyboard, rushed to the side of the big keyboard, and started typing.
The Grimacing Mandrill stopped its body, rushed back in a rage, and jumped on the howler monkey. The two monkeys of different species fought together for the only chance of escape, and they all bit to death.
Taking advantage of this precious opportunity, π hummed louder and tried its best to conceal their tearing sounds. Finally, the monkeys squatted down, stood up straight, and π stood on the position of the "period key" in sequence according to its plan, and finally One squatted down and did not stand up straight for a long time, but looked up at the light ball nervously.
Can the light group understand
This keyboard made of monkeys is not marked with letters, but if you are familiar with the keyboard layout and know that this is a "keyboard", you should be able to see that the sentence typed by the monkeys is—i ant to go home.
All the other monkeys disappeared, including the battered howler monkey and the grimacing mandrill.
All of a sudden quiet down.
[Navigation Elf]: You can go home, we have arranged a new home for you, and someone will come to adopt you soon.
