After returning to the room, Ye Xu saw the game currency on the table, and suddenly remembered that the tour guide said yesterday that he could exchange the game currency for money today. Ye Xu almost forgot about this, if he hadn't seen the game currency, he wouldn't have remembered it at all.
Taking advantage of the early time, Ye Xu simply took his things and went out again. Go to the video game city once now, just treat it as an after-meal digestion.
Today's video game city is more lively than yesterday.
It seems that the cutscene was deliberately cleared yesterday, and only players were playing inside. Today is different. Apart from the NPCs on the background board that seem to exist forcibly at first glance, there are actually smart NPCs playing games seriously.
Ye Xu glanced at them, but didn't dare to look any further, for fear that some NPC would attack him suddenly. Go straight to the front desk and put the game currency on the table.
"I want to change the game currency into money." Ye Xu said tentatively.
The service staff at the front desk counted the game coins without saying a word. Ye Xu had sixty yesterday, and returned ten to the tour guide. The dancing machine used up twenty for four times, and there are thirty left.
"Thirty game coins." The front desk said after ordering, "It can be exchanged for three hundred yuan."
Ye Xu thought he heard it wrong, so he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "How much?"
"Three hundred." The receptionist repeated it patiently, and explained to him, "We can buy one game coin for ten yuan here."
Doesn't that mean that the dance machine that Ye Xu played before was not five yuan a time, but fifty yuan a time
... It's really fucking expensive.
Ye Xu was stunned, he had never seen such an expensive game currency.
However, Ye Xu was still very pleasantly surprised when he got 300 yuan in the account suddenly. In this way, his assets exceeded 500 again, and he was quite rich. Presumably, few other players were richer than him.
Ye Xu left the video game city with three warm red banknotes in his arms. The sudden good news made him feel good, and his appetite, which had been affected by the movie theater incident, returned. Ye Xu decided to have another big meal to reward himself.
After a relatively enjoyable day, visitors were ushered in for a sixth day of travel.
It's more than half of the time, and it's not easy for players who can survive until now.
Ye Xu stood in the corner and quietly counted the number of players, and found that there were more than 80 survivors. More than half, this situation is very bad.
According to Ye Xu's past experience, at this stage, under normal circumstances, there should only be more than 60 people left, or even more than 50 people.
Because although the difficulty is the lowest at the beginning, most players, especially newcomers, have very weak survivability. In the first half of the time, more than 60% of the players will be quickly eliminated, and although the difficulty will increase later, the death rate will actually decrease.
If there are a large number of capable seniors in the team, even a dozen or so can pass the level in the end.
There are too many people who have survived now, and there will definitely be a level with a deliberately high difficulty later, and a large number of people will die. Ye Xu felt a little uneasy in his heart, and became more vigilant than ever before about the upcoming sixth experience.
The tour guide is still smiling, but the smile seems to have a hint of schadenfreude.
When leaving the movie theater yesterday, Ye Xu took a special look at the expression of the tour guide. At that time, the tour guide was sullen, obviously very dissatisfied with the number of deaths in the movie theater. But today, the results also verified that not many people died. It stands to reason that the tour guide should still be unhappy.
She can smile so brightly now, which means that there is a big pit ahead waiting for them to jump.
"Dear tourists, we have a big surprise today!" The tour guide waved a small flag and said in an exaggerated tone, "You must not have imagined that what we are going to today is a swimming pool!"
The corner of Ye Xu's mouth twitched, afraid of something.
In addition to movie theaters, there is another place where horror stories frequently occur. That's right, it's the waters.
Whether it is the sea or a small river, a pond or a lake, or even a pool at home or a well in the yard, wherever there is water, there is danger. Either the water ghost is looking for a scapegoat, or the ghost is asking for his life. Anyway, as long as you touch the water, the death rate is as high as 99%-meeting the remaining 1% means that you are the protagonist of the horror story.
Going to the swimming pool at this sensitive time, any fool knows how dangerous it is. If you say that there are no ghosts in the water, you will not believe in ghosts.
But you have to go, and not only to go, but also to prepare your own swimsuit and swimming trunks. In order to eat, I also worked hard.
"It's too inhuman, to go swimming hungry..." the players complained in a low voice.
I thought that the last time I went to the gym hungry was mad enough, but I never thought it would be even worse. Swimming is an extremely physical activity. The resistance in the water increases exponentially, and it takes a lot of effort to move. Ordinary people can basically breathe out of exhaustion after swimming for half an hour, especially those who don't swim often.
What's more, there are even landlubbers who can't swim among them.
"Yes, does soaking in the water count as an experience?" A girl asked with a mournful face.
No one knew the answer, so they could only shake their heads helplessly and play by ear.
Anyway, Ye Xu made up his mind to stay by the edge of the pool, preferably near the ladder. Once in danger, immediately pull the ladder to climb ashore.
The edge of the swimming pool is too smooth, it may not be able to hold it, and the ladder is safer.
Ye Xu didn't bring his swimsuit with him, so he had to go back and change it, but now he had to go to the swimming pool with the tour guide before he could leave. The swimming pool is on the top floor of the cruise ship, occupying a large space at the very top. There are glass walls on three sides inside, so you can directly see the sea view outside through the glass in the swimming pool.
More than 80 people were divided into four groups by the tour guide, and went to experience swimming in four pools respectively. Originally, 80 people used one pool, which seemed a bit crowded, but now it has shrunk to 20 people, and it is much more empty.
Before entering the water, the tour guide told everyone that they must wear swimsuits to swim. People without bathing suits figure out their own way, anyway, she just wants results.
Those who included swimsuits in their luggage were naturally happy, while those who didn't were miserable and had to buy first. Not to mention whether there is enough money to buy a swimsuit, the key is where to buy it, which is also a problem.
Someone soon thought of a duty-free shop, which has swimsuits. Unexpected people can only go back to the house and look through the brochure of the cruise ship to see where there is a shop that sells swimsuits.
Ye Xu didn't have to worry about it anymore, he went back to the house, put on his swimming trunks, put on a coat, and went back to the swimming pool. He didn't think he would have the extra strength to change into his usual clothes after swimming, and he probably would go to the restaurant to eat in his swimming trunks.
So in order to avoid having to carry a pile of clothes when leaving, Ye Xu simply packed lightly and went out wearing sandals.
After returning to the swimming pool, Ye Xu found that there were not many people in the pool. About a dozen people moved faster than him, but basically they were not in the same pool as Ye Xu, so the pool where Ye Xu was allocated is currently empty and there is no one there.
Taking advantage of no one, Ye Xu quickly threw his coat on the recliner and went directly into the water, occupying the best position.
The pool was equipped with four ladders, with Ye Xu occupying the most remote one. The ladder in the corner has less competitive pressure, and people who come later will not rush to grab this ladder in the first place.
Ye Xu carefully finished warm-up exercises on the shore before going into the water. After entering the water, he leaned against the ladder, submerged one hand in the water and secretly grasped the ladder in the water, and then stayed in the pool in a half-lying posture by the pool, turning his head and pretending to be looking at the sea view next to him.
The ladder is assumed to be next to the glass wall, and Ye Xu is lying on his stomach in the gap between the ladder and the glass wall. The space is quite wide, and it is not crowded. It's really a corner here, very inconspicuous.
There is another ladder opposite Ye Xu, which is also in the corner. However, the ladders at the other two ends of the pool are different, relying on the walkway gives people a sense of security, and it is closer to the swimming pool gate.
The water in the swimming pool is not deep, it has not yet reached Ye Xu's chest. Ye Xu is not tall, he is rather petite among boys, and he can directly touch the bottom like this, which shows that this is a very shallow pond.
Looking at a certain pool on the opposite side, it was obviously much deeper than his side. After a girl went into the water carefully, she couldn't reach the bottom of the water, so she had to hold on to the shore in panic, holding on to the ladder tightly and not letting go.
Ye Xu silently sympathized with her for three seconds.
Ten minutes later, more than half of the players came one after another, and there were still some poor little ones who were still looking for swimsuits for sale. Ye Xu huddled in the corner the whole time, watching the other players go into the water.
The expected scramble for ladders did not happen, and most players may not realize the importance of ladders. But no one was stupid enough to swim in the middle of the pool, and they basically lay on the shore.
I don't know if they want to save their strength so that they don't have to swim hard when they land ashore later, or they are worried about the danger in the middle of the pool.
Ye Xu was afraid that the watch would not be waterproof, so he didn't wear it on his wrist, but put it on the bank where he lay on his stomach. He glanced at the time from time to time, silently calculating in his heart.
Because he was focused on time, Ye Xu didn't pay attention to the commotion in the other swimming pools. Anyway, since the player entered the water, there has been movement, either the landlubber is struggling, or the player is grabbing the territory, nothing to care about.
Ye Xu usually glanced away and stopped paying attention.
When the minute hand of the watch in front of him reached 43 and the second hand reached 53, Ye Xu thought silently in his heart: fifteen minutes.
The next second, he suddenly felt empty under his feet, and the flat tiles at the bottom of the pool seemed to have disappeared, and he fell down.
coming!
Ye Xu immediately realized that this was a trap in the swimming pool. Without saying a word, he grabbed the ladder tightly and climbed up the ladder.
Because the location is not directly facing the front of the ladder, it is a bit difficult to climb up, but it is okay. Ye Xu quickly adjusted his orientation and approached the front of the ladder, intending to step on the ladder and go ashore first.
It's a big deal to come down later, anyway, time is accumulated.
However, just as Ye Xu stepped on the ladder, he suddenly felt a pair of cold hands grab his ankles and pull him down hard!
There is something in the water!
