There is Definitely Something Wrong with This Game

“You have to scan a QR code just to look at a map.”

“This is too much.”

“That’s what I mean.”

“Speechless.”

After Ren Xuan and Mo Lian downloaded the Caijin Group's dating app one by one, and then used it to scan the code and open the map, Gu Moli and the other two left.

"So? There are more than sixty rooms in total. Are we really going to go through them one by one?"

"The staff also gave us the master key to the room. Basically, if we check them one by one, it should take no more than two hours."

"Forget it."

Facing Hua Qiong's suggestion, Gu Moli shook his head decisively, and then pointed at Zhiji Nanxun beside him: "I guarantee with her life that there is absolutely no treasure in the more than 60 rooms. Moreover, compared to the treasure, I think it is more important to find the non-existent room."

It's hard to find a confidant. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, whose head are you using as a guarantee?"

"Hmm... That's true."

Hua Qiong hesitated for a moment, not noticing the strangeness in Gu Moli's words, and nodded: "After all, the clues don't describe the appearance of the treasure in detail. Compared with the treasure, it is easier to find a non-existent room. Maybe if we find that room, we will know what the treasure is."

Gu Moli: "... ..!!!"

"what?"

Hua Qiong raised her head and looked at Gu Moli, who was looking at her with a look of shock and surprise. She was a little confused: "Why are you looking at me like that? What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"No... I mean, you actually knew to find a non-existent room first?!"

"What do you take me for!"

"Straight A?"

Bang! Hua Qiong turned around and kicked the wall of the cabin. Looking at the slightly sunken iron sheet, Gu Moli remained calm and changed the subject: "Of course you are my good employee. Why are you still standing there? Hua Qiong, you are right. Let's go find a non-existent room first!"

It’s hard to find a true friend. She continued to give Gu Moli a blank look.

Then he pulled Hua Qiong and left Gu Moli behind.

"snort!"

At the end, these two people actually sneered! Good guy, this sneer almost made Gu Moli so angry that he was fuming. This was clearly looking down on him!

asshole!

There are so many rooms on the entire Titanic, and Gu Moli and the other two had compared the rooms scanned by the mobile phone APP with the rooms on the map before, and found no difference. Gu Moli initially thought that there might be a difference between the APP map and the physical map.

If there is a difference, perhaps the extra or fewer rooms are the so-called non-existent rooms.

It's just a pity.

“It’s really not that easy.”

"Where exactly is it..."

Of course they couldn't look for a room together, and since Zhiji Nanxun and Hua Qiong were clearly trying to leave Gu Moli behind, Gu Moli was relieved. He asked them to go to the end of the corridor first, and then start looking in his direction, while he looked in their direction.

However, Gu Moli still insisted on his point of view.

"No matter how hard you try, it's impossible for him to hide in these sixty-plus rooms."

Gu Moli muttered to himself as he casually opened a room, walked in and took a look, aimlessly searching under the bed, under the coffee table, and in places like the dining table drawer. The result was just as he expected, there was not a single treasure to be found.

"The room that doesn't exist."

"Or maybe there's a room that's not on the app map or the physical map, but exists in reality. But I still can't find it after searching all over."

“The room numbers on the map also all correspond.”

"No problem."

"strangeness."

While Gu Moli was searching the room, he was also searching with the physical map, but the result was only so-so. Apart from one room after another with no clues, he did not gain anything. This was the case until he reunited with Zhiji Nanxun and Hua Qiong.

"Sure enough, the problem lies in the method."

Gu Moli moved closer to the light in the corridor and tried to pick up the physical map and put it there to shine a light, but still did not see any transparent writing.

"How about trying to burn it?"

"Or is it a combination of rooms? So far, it doesn't exist, so it can only be a secret room. By arranging the room numbers on the puzzle map, we can get a special room number, and then we can open a secret room inside. That secret room is the non-existent room?"

“It sounds like it’s quite exciting.”

"What do you think?"

"That's unlikely." Zhiji Nanxun cruelly rejected Gu Moli's guess: "At least I can't find the secret room in the room I just walked through."

"Maybe a password is needed?"

"Can you find it?"

“I’m not looking for that.”

Gu Moli stared at the rows of room numbers on the right side of the map, quickly thinking about the puzzles and corresponding solutions that might be hidden therein.

"It's all just wishful thinking. Why don't we just look for extras?"

"It's possible that the non-existent room is on their side."

“I don’t know how they are progressing.”

Seeing that Gu Moli intended to go back the same way, Hua Qiong took out his cell phone and said, "Want to know about the progress of Sister Lian? Then just go and ask."

"So, I'm just going to go back and look for... What are you doing?"

"What are you doing... sending a message to Sister Lian."

"... ..No, this should be your first meeting with those two extras, right?"

"What are you talking about? When you reported to me before, didn't you meet Ren Xuan like me? Not to mention the time in Phantom City, but we didn't talk much. We just added each other as friends. This is the first time I met Sister Lian, but we added each other as friends when we chatted just now."

"!!!"

Gu Moli felt some kind of shock coming from the social expert. He turned around and saw that Zhiji Nanxun also had the same surprised expression as him.

"Okay, Sister Lian replied, saying that Ren Xuan is still excitedly searching the room, but she probably won't get any results."

“Yes.”

While speaking, Hua Qiong also presented the mobile phone interface to Gu Moli and Zhiji Nanxun.

"Hero Trial...?"

"yes."

Hua Qiong nodded: "After all, we are all players. Maybe we can arrange scripts together in the future, so we use Hero Trial to add friends. Isn't it the same for me, my boss, and Sister Shaohua? We only add friends through Hero Trial, and we don't even have WeChat or QQ."

"Ah, how about adding WeChat and QQ as well?"

"... .Friends of the Hero Trial."

"I remember that I had to find a name and then send a friend request. It was quite troublesome. Plus, I'm not very good at remembering IDs, so I didn't add them very often..."

Gu Moli and Zhiji Nanxun's words and deeds in this regard are very consistent.

Unless it is a character that interests them, they will almost forget the name and ID as soon as they see them and cannot remember them at all.

"So? What's the player name of Mo Lian?"

"Let me see." Hua Qiong operated the phone for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Sister Lian... Her ID is Don't Pity Me."

"In a sense, I'm using my real name."

"OK."

Gu Moli and Zhiji Nanxun also smiled, but soon, a sense of incongruity struck both of them at the same time, causing their smiles to fade unconsciously.

“... ... Don’t pity me, this ID... ..”

"... .no problem."

"The problem is... .."

Gu Moli and Zhiji Nanxun frowned at the same time. After carefully reviewing Hua Qiong's behavior just now, their eyes lit up and they said almost at the same time:

"Hua Qiong, how did you become friends with Mo Lian?"

"Aqiong, did you just look at Mo Lian's ID?"

Although the words are different, the underlying meaning of Gu Moli and It's Hard to Find a Bosom Friend is the same.

In their common sense, if players in the Hero Trial want to add each other as friends, they must first know each other's ID, then enter the ID into the player search box, and then send a request to add a friend. So logically, Hua Qiong should have known Mo Lian's ID a long time ago.

But what is the reality

She operated her phone first and found Mo Lian's ID before answering Gu Moli and Zhiji Nanxun's questions, instead of speaking without thinking.

Why

Gu Moli and Zhiji Nanxun are very self-aware. Compared with them, Hua Qiong is undoubtedly a normal person and is unlikely to forget other people's names and IDs. But if that's the case, why does Hua Qiong still have to check his phone before he can tell Mo Lian's ID

Intuition tells Gu Moli that it is hard to find a confidant:

There is a problem here.

It's not a mystery or a doubt, but a problem caused by their lack of common sense in this area.

"What's the problem?"

Facing Gu Moli and the question of whether it is hard to find a confidant, Hua Qiong was stunned for a moment and then answered Gu Moli first: "It's just a simple scan code to add a friend."

"Scan the code...?"

"yes."

Hua Qiong tapped his phone again, and then displayed his Hero Trial interface. After clicking on the player avatar, there was actually a corresponding QR code: "Hero Trial will have a small update every once in a while. These are the additional features that were updated a few months ago."

"Eh? Are you the only one who doesn't know?!"

"No, Sister Shaohua, you don't know either!?"

Gu Moli: “… ... ... ”

It’s hard to find a true friend: “… ... ... ”

Hua Qiong's unintentional words hit the nail on the head. Gu Moli and Zhiji Nanxun almost subconsciously turned their eyes away: they really didn't know.

How can people like them update their software unless it crashes frequently

Scan the QR code to add friends

Scan the QR code... .

Gu Moli and Zhiji Nanxun subconsciously looked at the physical map, and Hua Qiong naturally followed their gaze and immediately his expression changed.

Obviously she reacted.

"Speaking of which, if we're just looking for treasures, there's no need to ask players to do it. It's ok that Gu Moli is a private detective, but people like him are rare. Most players are not good at these things. There are many people who are more professional than them..."

In other words, it is a treasure that only players can find.

A room that doesn't exist.

Does gaming space count

"... ..would you like to give it a try?"

"I'll go first!"

Gu Moli and Zhiji Nanxun took out their mobile phones and started updating the software, while Hua Qiong directly scanned the QR code on the map, then rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

Success!

"As expected, it's not that difficult if you grasp the trick. You can even say that the answer is right in front of you. But TNND, I almost couldn't solve this puzzle..."

Whether it is Gu Moli or Zhiji Nanxun, their knowledge reserves far exceed those of other players, which also gives them the ability to be one step ahead of other players in many cases. However, as the saying goes, being too clever can be a mistake. Once information beyond their knowledge base appears...

Instead, they will be groping in the dark.

That's the lesson.

The QR code on the map can be scanned with the Hero Trial game app. They couldn't think of this operation, but Hua Qiong could think of it, and even Mo Lian and even Ren Xuan might have thought of it, but they didn't react that quickly, so they haven't discovered it yet.

But if Hua Qiong hadn't come along this time, Gu Moli and Zhiji Nanxun might have been left scratching their heads, waiting for Mo Lian and Ren Xuan to realize it later. Then, Gu Moli would be horrified to find that the puzzle that even he couldn't solve was solved by a supporting actor A... .

"WDNMD that was a close call!"

"It's so damn scary!"

This blow was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the two people who claimed to be smart.

"... Treat Arjun to dinner when you get back."

"agree."

After the APP was downloaded, Gu Moli sat directly next to the fallen Hua Qiong, while Zhiji Nanxun sat next to him, and the three of them lined up in order.

Click Scan QR code.

Click Confirm.

The next second, Gu Moli's vision quickly fell into darkness.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .

“Dang~dangdang~dangdang~~~!!”

"Congratulations to player Fireworks is Cool! You have successfully solved the puzzle left by Li Caijin and found the non-existent room~! Go and take the treasure that belongs to you!"

"Oh yeah!"

The sound of salutes, congratulations, and a lot of cheers filled Gu Moli's ears in the background, and right in front of him was a big door.

The surrounding area is an identical gaming space.

Only this door appeared suddenly, and there was no room, just a tightly closed door. There was nothing in front and behind, which looked quite weird.

"What the hell, since you found it, why don't you just give it to me?"

"Do I have to go to the room to get it?"

“I don’t understand.”

Gu Moli muttered as he walked to the door, turned the doorknob and opened the door, then he saw a huge and ferocious head.

Golden eyes, black scales, bloody mouth and sharp teeth.

“Puff.”

A breath of foul air spewed out from the mouth and nose of the head and rushed towards him. Although there was no blood volume limit in the game space, Gu Moli still felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, as if he was suddenly in a scorching summer day. This showed the heat contained in the other party's breath.

Snap!

Gu Moli slammed the door back without hesitation.

It must be opened in the wrong way.

Is this a treasure

Monster!

From the looks of it, it seems to be a snake, but only the head is seen. Considering the size of the door, it is also possible that the horns are blocked and we cannot see it, so it is actually a dragon.

Why is there something like this in a room that doesn't exist!

Snake... .Dragon... ..

... ... Um

Gu Moli's expression suddenly changed, and a name quickly flashed through his mind, causing him to narrow his eyes and look at the door handle again.

"... Never mind. I won't die anyway."

"What are you afraid of?"

Gu Moli took a deep breath and opened the door for the second time. This time, he no longer saw a huge head, but a space that looked like a coffee shop. As the door opened, he could even hear the sound of wind chimes beside the door. And right in front of his sight...

"I've been wanting to see you for a long time, Mr. Gu."

A young man in a black suit sat upright on the left side of a small square table, while there was an empty seat on the right side with a cup of coffee.

"My name is Ouroboros."

"Is this the first time we meet?"

"Let me think about it. According to your human etiquette... yes, that's the way to go."

The young man in the black suit gently raised the teacup in his hand and shook it towards Gu Moli, then said in a leisurely tone: "Hello, nice to meet you."
