Live broadcast hall.

After players who are dragged in by homing pigeons enter the cage world, no one can get out unless they die or come into contact with the top of the rankings.

But they basically do not enter and exit the dungeon without interruption. Between the time they leave the dungeon alive and the next time they enter the dungeon, they live in a cage—a vast world with no boundaries.

The live broadcast lobby is the place where players spend the longest time during their free time.

It is said to be a lobby, but it is actually a virtual online system. It is the same as the live broadcast process in the real world. Each player can log in to the live broadcast hall with his own number, and select the copy of the live broadcast they want to watch, watch, and comment.

Pay attention to the players in the copy, even...

Reward.

When Fan Cong determines that a copy has live broadcast value, this copy will be sent to the latest live broadcast area to scroll.

In addition to those very popular and top-ranked live broadcasts, there are also people who browse the latest push every day, thinking that they might be able to see some unpopular but worth watching copies.

Therefore, when a novice copy such as the Broken Wooden Comb Copy No. 392377 was pushed out, a small group of people almost immediately flocked to the live broadcast room of this copy.

At this time, the live broadcast had just started, Yan Xingchen was already entangled in the water ghost's long hair, and Qi Wushe was grabbing him.

The young man has a pair of peach blossom eyes, his eyebrows are very gentle, and his skin color can be seen under the strange night sky.

He was wearing a black jacket and was slim. The jacket was slightly loose on him, which made his face look particularly cute.

His temperament was incompatible with the water covered with thick black hair.

When the live broadcast camera opened, the hull of the boat had just been shaken several times by the water ghosts under the water. The river water splashed onto the tips of his hair, flowed down his forehead, and hung on his cheeks, like a drop of tears from a beautiful woman.

His skin was fair and his complexion was quite pale. He looked not in good health, as if a ghost underwater only needed to pull him gently and he would fall into the water. This terrifying river water could kill him in an instant.

His left hand was completely entangled and restrained by the long hair of the water ghost, and the zipper of his coat was opened by the pull just now, revealing his slender neck and slight collarbone.

Clean and dirty are confused together.

The other person was grabbing him, but he didn't know if he was not strong enough to pull him in. The two of them maintained such a posture that they could be dragged into the water by the water ghost at any time.

As soon as this live broadcast started, it was a crisis.

[Why are they so quiet? They are all trapped by water ghosts. Other players have already begun to discuss ways to save themselves. Are they just waiting to die quietly?]

[This man didn’t even ask for help. He couldn’t be a mute, right? The other eye was covered and his face couldn’t be seen clearly. He looked like a blind man. A blind man, a mute, and a loser are having a meeting. Hahahaha, this is not a show.

To die?]

[He actually got seasick and looked frail and sickly.]

[Fan Cong probably won’t broadcast live dungeons without interesting points...]

Not long after, in the live broadcast, Yan Xingchen, who could have struggled for a while, suddenly let go of Qi Wushe's hand.

Many viewers were stunned for a moment - they thought Yan Xingchen would find a way to save himself just now.

After the number of barrages decreased a lot in an instant, the audience who thought there was hope at first stopped talking. Most of the new barrages lamented: This newcomer is so incompetent that he doesn't even try to save himself.

In the player list of the Broken Wooden Comb dungeon, behind Yan Xingchen’s name, the number of people betting on his death is rapidly rising.

[They were just a little bit away from the best solution, but now they actually let go and gave up without even struggling...]

[Good Holy Mother, don’t you want to drag others down?]

[It turns out he is not mute, he called the boatman! Is he asking the boatman for help?]

[Boatman is not a good thing at all, and it’s not like no one has ever thought about finding a boatman, but all newcomers who have had such thoughts have died in the river.]

[It’s useless to call the boatman. In this dungeon, at least two players will accompany each other in the river crossing mission. There are several ways to pass the level safely. The best strategy at present is the one created by Li Jiuze...]

Players who have entered Fancong and passed the first dungeon will all know this strategy.

In the river-crossing level, if a person's left and right hands are caught by long hair, unless his companions are willing to desperately hold on to the person, they will basically die.

But if two people are entangled in long hair, one on the left and the other on the right, this thing has no eyes and no brain. It only knows that it has grabbed two people, and it will naturally use its strength to pull both of them into the water.

At this time, the two people on the boat hold their untangled hands together, so that the long hair is actually pulling the two people together from left to right at the same time, and neither of them can be pulled down at all. After balancing, they can persuade the boatman to row, and they will naturally be able to fight without any loss.

Land safely ashore.

In fact, not many newcomers can achieve this most perfect solution at present.

Most people who survived this level did so through the blood of fellow players.

In the live broadcast, the newcomer named Yan Xingchen has even given up the help of his companions.

And of all the known ways to break the situation, none of them can do it in their current state.

One of the two people gave up on survival and was about to be dragged into the water by their long hair, while the other couldn't see and couldn't row the boat on his own. No matter how you looked at it, they were destined to die.

Copy in progress.

Yan Xingchen was shaken to the point of dizziness, and he became irritated for a moment. In order to suppress this emotion, he also got a headache.

He frowned, and now he just wanted to get that dirty thing under the water out of the water.

Want to kill him... just because of this bad luck?

He suppressed his dizziness, hid the hand entangled with his long hair behind his back, and pretended to dig into his pocket with the other hand, suppressing all the coldness on his face, and said weakly: "Old man, my hand is being pulled now.

I can't get up, and I feel like I won't survive to the other side. But I still have some rare things with me. It's a pity that I have sunk into the water, so I might as well leave them to you. Can you come and get them?"

The boatman said "hey" twice and was not moved at all: "What's so rare about life? You're going to die. If it sinks, just sink."

Yan Xingchen continued: "It's not something big, just a roll of gold thread..."

The boatman looked disdainful.

"Yes, it's 'Dharma Robes and Golden Clothes'..."

As he spoke, he blinked rapidly, his thick eyelashes trembling slightly, and his pale complexion and slightly furrowed brows made him look fragile and helpless, with no sign of any aggression at all.

The boatman's expression suddenly changed.

He was unmoved just now, but now he hesitated.

He saw that Yan Xingchen was indeed restrained by his long black hair and looked so helpless, so he finally walked towards him slowly.

After approaching, the boatman's eager eyes fell on Yan Xingchen, and he couldn't help but stretched out his hand, waiting to take the thing from his mouth.

Yan Xingchen deceived the person, quickly stretched out his left hand that was wrapped around the hair, and quickly came closer with the black hair that was slowly moving as if it was alive.

The boatman was suddenly startled, hunched over and tried to get away, but Yan Xingchen had already held his hand in a moment.

The boatman knew he had been fooled, and his old and hoarse voice almost changed its shape: "——Traveler, what are you doing?!"

He wanted to move away, but found that this young man, who was thin and looked very sick, easily restrained him.

The boatman could not move.

But from the live broadcast, it appeared that Yan Xingchen did not exert any force at all, and just casually shook hands with the boatman.

On the contrary, the boatman seemed more willing to take action. Yan Xingchen, a well-behaved ordinary player, was sitting on the edge of the boat, looking like he would be killed by a water ghost or the boatman at any time.

There are more and more barrages outside the dungeon. Some people are gloating about the misfortune. Some people think that Yan Xingchen is counting on the boatman to save him. Some people are worried that Yan Xingchen will be pushed down by the boatman. It is rare that such a good-looking player will die before he gets out of the first level.

In the copy, Qi Wushe did not have the same worries about Yan Xingchen.

He stood in the middle of the boat, tilting his head slightly.

He was slowly raising his hand, and was about to touch the long hair on the edge of the boat. When he heard the sound of the bow of the boat, he retracted his hand without leaving a trace, and the look of disappointment on his face gradually disappeared.

He said "Yeah" and said in a very low voice: "Why do you bully the old man?"

Yan Xingchen, who just held the old man's hand firmly without making a move: "..."

His body remained motionless, his hands were fierce, but his expression remained gentle.

"I respect the old and care for the young." He said, "I just want to ask my uncle to help me."

Qi Wushe laughed.

Yan Xingchen lowered his head and glanced at the place where he was entangled with the old man.

Sure enough, after he grabbed the boatman, the hair continued to move.

It immediately felt the breath of other strangers, and wrapped around the old man's hand bit by bit. The wrinkled hand and Yan Xingchen's hand were tied together by the long hair, and gradually tightened. The boatman wanted to retreat, but he had already retreated.

It won't open.

As expected.

He seemed helpless and said: "Old man, you are pulling me so hard, are you unwilling to let me die?"

He was naturally well-behaved, and when he spoke like this, he seemed to truly feel so.

Only the boatman could feel the strength in the hands of the obedient young man in front of him. He was so angry that there was nothing he could do against Yan Xingchen.

——"Wow!"

The fishing boat shook violently again. The river surged, and dark clouds drifted over, covering most of the stars and moon.

The entire river surface was dark and eerie, with filthy black hair floating around the fishing boat, slowly squirming like a centipede with teeth and claws.

There was a faint smell of blood floating in the air, accompanied by the stench of decay.

It seemed like something more terrifying was about to approach.

The boatman's face turned pale, and with a trembling hand that was not wrapped around him, he took out a bunch of things from his linen pocket.

It was a stack of old-style white paper money, which looked like copper coins, and seemed to have something smeared on it.

Yan Xingchen has been learning the Tao of Yin and Yang from his uncle since he was a child, and has been exposed to a lot of these things. Even under the interference of the fishy smell, he can still smell it.

It's incense ash.

On both sides of the boat, Long Hair had begun to exert force again, and was about to drag the two of them into the water at the same time. The boatman tremblingly held the stack of paper money and scattered it bit by bit.

He muttered: "Cai Niang, you go, you go..."

White paper money floated down and landed on the water covered with long hair.

The rocking boat gradually stopped moving.

The feeling of approaching storm gradually dissipated.

Another gust of cool wind blew by, the clouds dispersed, the stars and the moon reappeared, and Vega was as bright as before above the zenith.

The white paper money slowly fell on the water, glowing strangely white in the dark night.

Out of the water, the long hair hanging on the boat quickly slid back, and the long hair on the hands of Yan Xingchen and the boatman also slowly receded, leaving only a damp patch.

The eerie and cold things just now seemed like an illusion. Apart from the places where their bodies were wet with water, no other traces could be found.

This old guy really has a way to save his life.

The moment he was tangled in hair, Yan Xingchen thought that he and Qi Wushe could be responsible for maintaining a balance while pulling. However, this method not only relies on the people traveling with him, but also has to be controlled by the water ghost. He can only get rid of it when he reaches the shore.

, it took a long time - this alone made him put this method on hold for the time being.

Other than that, only the boatman can use it.

When the dungeon was first loaded, the prompt sounded, asking players to gather at the dungeon location—gather. This word means that there are probably more than two of them. After the boatman successfully delivers the people to the shore, they will inevitably

You have to row alone back to the starting point to pick up new people.

And just now the boatman himself said that if he is pulled into the water by his long hair, the thing called "Cai Niang" will be satisfied. When the villagers cross the river, Cai Niang will not pull the villagers.

The people in the village are also NPCs, which means that the thing kills people without distinguishing between players and NPCs. The boatman is also an NPC, so the boatman should also be in danger, but there are three people on the boat now, and the long hair climbed up from the middle of the fishing boat, so most of them

It will drag the player into the water first, but if there is only one boatman on the boat, it stands to reason that Long Hair will also drag the boatman.

Then the boatman must have a way to ensure that nothing happens when he returns alone. The number of times this method may be used is still limited, so the villagers are still in danger, and he will not use it casually for the players.

Only by deceiving the boatman with something he cares about and putting the boatman in danger and having to save himself will he resort to life-saving methods.

Just like now.

He glanced at himself a few times, and after confirming that all the long hair on his body had receded, he shook the water on his hand in disgust, not forgetting to disgust the boatman, and said to the boatman in a warm voice: "I would even take such a good thing."

Come out, I'm really kind-hearted, thank you."

The "kind-hearted" old man was forced to use a life-saving trick. At this moment, his face was livid and he stopped talking to Yan Xingchen. He returned to the bow of the fishing boat with a dark face, picked up the oar and rowed towards the other side, as if he couldn't wait to hurry up.

Get rid of the "plague god" Yan Xingchen.

Qi Wushe didn't ask Yan Xingchen how he resolved the crisis.

This person had been looking leisurely and calm just now, and even seemed to have a way to break the situation, but he just stood aside and watched the fun.

When he and the boatman were entangled in their long hair, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Qi Wushe raising his hand without leaving a trace, taking the initiative to move towards the water ghost's hair that would most likely lose his life if it got entangled in it.

A blind player who dares to approach ghosts and monsters on the verge of life and death and covers his eyes is definitely not a good person, no matter whether he is a friend or an enemy.

He stopped looking at Qi Wushe and looked at the water.

Except for the paper money floating above the water, there was no trace of hair. Only the edge of the hull seemed to be hanging something in the shape of a strip. When I looked closer, I saw that it was a withered and broken aquatic plant.

"I see……"

Judging from the situation just now, the definition and existence of ghosts and gods in the copy world seem to be the same as those in the real world. These things also exist in the real world.

Long hair is nothing more than thousands of water plants under the river that are transformed into ghosts. This kind of thing has no thought and no life. It will only pull the ferrymen crossing the river into the water and tear them apart.

It's not a powerful ghost, but it's usually caused by powerful ghosts underwater.

Yan Xingchen lowered his eyes and sat back in the middle of the fishing boat.

The waves were sparkling, the stars and the moon were hanging high, and everything was calm again.

The other shore is in sight.

[Congratulations to the player for discovering a new way to break the fixed plot "Ghost Haired Water Grass" in the new dungeon. It has been judged that the current method is the shortest time-consuming and least costly of all methods, and you will receive additional rewards. 】

[Data-related rewards will be released after the dungeon information is announced. 】

[According to the rules, in the "Ghost Haired Water Grass" plot, official players who clear the level will have a certain chance of receiving talent rewards. Since you performed well in this level, Fan Long has selected the most suitable legendary talent skills for you based on your style.

.Your talents and skills have been placed in the information panel. Do you choose to view it immediately?】

Yan Xingchen was stunned.

He had known for a long time that there would be a reward, and those scrambling actions just now were also to maximize this reward, but he did not expect that there would be a talent reward.

With just a thought in his mind, a few lines of words that only he could see appeared before his eyes.

[Player skill type: legendary talent skill.]

[Player Talent Description - Little Girl: Players with this talent need to accumulate protected value to use this talent. The protected value needs to be increased by being protected by other players, or by making other players feel protective. When the protected value

Reaching a certain limit, players with this talent can obtain all numerical increases by consuming protection values. The range and multiples of the increases increase with the skill level. The higher the skill level, the greater the increase.】

[Skill Level: Level 1.]

[The data blessing multiplier that can be obtained after successfully accumulating the protected value: double. 】

[Current protected value accumulation progress: 0/300. If your protected value accumulates to more than 300, you can turn on the double increase. After it is turned on, each second of increase will consume 10 points of protected value. Please note that, for

To help players become familiar with skills, all players with talents only need to meet half of the prerequisites when using talent skills for the first time. Your initial protected value accumulation progress only needs to reach 150 before you can use it.]

Yan Xingchen was stunned.

He read it twice to make sure he understood the passage correctly.

This innate skill...

Doubling the value is indeed an exciting buff. What's more, judging from this skill description, the multiple of the increase, the time and the protected value consumed will change with the skill level.

If the protected value reaches 300, and each second of increase consumes 10 points, it means that he has at least 30 seconds of double increase, which is enough to bring an opportunity to reverse the situation in many critical moments.

But the way this protected value is accumulated...

Yan Xingchen looked a little strange for a moment.

The next moment, the prompt tone suddenly sounded.

[The number of fans is 1, please keep up the good work.]

[The number of fans is 1, please keep up the good work.]

…

[The protected value is 10, players please keep up their efforts.]

Yan Xingchen: "?"

The fishing boat moved forward slowly, and the water waves retreated regularly. The young man leaned against the side of the boat, his body covered with traces of being soaked by the river water, and the tips of his hair were dripping with water little by little. His expression was dull and dark.

His eyes revealed confusion and innocence.

Yan Xingchen was at a loss: Forget about the number of fans, but there is one last tip - where does this inexplicable protected value come from?

-

——This protected value comes from the live broadcast room.

As early as when the water ghost's hair had just receded, the barrage was already going crazy.

[What happened??? The boatman not only passed by, but also helped him out????]

[This is the first time in a long time that I know that the boatman can also help...]

[How long did it take him? It seems like less than a minute? Wait a minute, wait a minute, if this is the case, is the best solution going to change!?]

[Who said he was a holy mother just now, that he gave up on saving himself?]

[Although the water ghost retreated, he didn't seem to do anything. The boatman went over to help him. It was just his luck.]

[…]

It didn't take long for all the players in the live broadcast room to hear the record-breaking news.

In addition, on the homepage of the player forum in Fancage, at the top of the new player section, there is an area dedicated to scrolling notifications of system information updates in Fancage.

The latest notification scrolling out of this area is: The new player's first dungeon fixed plot "Ghost Haired Water Grass" clearance method has been updated. The official player of the dungeon No. 392377, Yan Xingchen, broke through the "Ghost Haired Water Grass" plot breaking record. The specific process has been saved, and the live broadcast of the dungeon has started.
Chapter completed!
