Chapter 27 Chapter 27
Yan Xingchen's words really stunned He Mian for a while.
But his attitude was resolute. He Mian opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
He would say this because he had actually thought about it.
Nowadays, his protection value mainly comes from the live broadcast room. If those people misunderstand his strength, it will have no impact on him at all, and it can also increase his protection value. The only impact may be the number of fans. The number of fans will certainly affect the ranking, but in fact
he
We haven't entered the competition for the overall ranking yet, so there is little use in accumulating fans so early. Anyway, this thing actually doesn't take time. As long as you can show enough strength, your fans can grow a lot in an instant. He can wait and pay attention to this in the future.
item data.
Secondly, in addition to being protected, the reason why he had so many keys this time was due to the misunderstanding he caused to the audience in the dungeon.
In this case, why not simply take advantage of this and continue to deepen the next copy, tempting those people to place bets, and bringing him more key rewards?
Yan Xingchen has no intention of explaining the pros and cons of this.
He asked He Mian to do these things because their interests were linked and they would not make mistakes. But there was no need for He Mian to know his own secret.
He just said: "I don't like to be sharp."
"...Okay. Then I'll take a step forward. I'll have some time to come in."
"Um."
After He Mian left, Yan Xingchen and Qi Wushe sat in the box for a while to show off their appearance.
Two glasses of wine were placed in front of them respectively. The glass in front of Qi Wushe was almost empty, but there was no expression on the man's face.
Yan Xingchen doesn't drink.
He is prone to losing control, and he dare not touch something like alcohol that can numb his nerves. He has never drank a few times since he was a child.
This time, he originally planned to pour it all down to show off, but when he picked up the cup, his mind moved slightly, thinking that this was no longer the real world he was in.
Everything happened in just a few days, but the surrounding environment was turned upside down.
On the way here just now, he had been observing his surroundings.
All the things that should exist in the real world are here. But except for the iron-clad rules of the cage, everything is disordered under the seemingly peaceful daylight or night.
There are no laws of civilization and politeness in this place. The operation of all rules seems to have returned to the era of caring for hair and drinking blood. In the end, it is the fists that speak.
Like here, it seems to be in order, but in fact it is just under the operation of various large organizations, and there will be no conflicts unless necessary. If something really happens, the struggle between players may be more terrifying than the ghosts in the dungeon.
.
In a place like this, it seems that there is no need to restrain oneself anymore.
Even if he is an outlier, no one will comment on him.
He hesitated, lowered his head, and took a sip.
"Ahem..." Yan Xingchen choked on the first bite, "Ahem..."
He had just watched Qi Wushe drink it without any strangeness, thinking it was some ordinary drink.
The wine here is actually much stronger than in the real world!
After taking this sip, the rich aroma of wine filled his mouth directly, making his face flush.
Yan Xingchen blamed Qi Wushe for his current embarrassment and glared at him.
The man heard his movement, felt his gaze, curled his lips and said, "It seems that you are not only a good person, but also a good boy who doesn't drink."
Yan Xingchen turned around and poured all the wine, wiping the wine stains from the corner of her mouth, not wanting to respond to this sentence.
He deliberately avoided the topic and said: "When I came in just now, I observed that there is an area in the opposite direction to the bar, which is labeled gambling area, and there are many gambling tables in it."
Qi Wushe understood what he meant, stood up, and walked out first.
Yan Xingchen put down his empty wine glass and followed closely.
He had just choked on the wine, and the sides of his cheeks were still slightly red at the moment, and there were two wine stains on the collar of his white shirt.
In the dim light of the bar, he lowered his head slightly and followed Qi Wushe, and the eyes of everyone around him gradually focused on him.
It was not like he had never encountered this situation before. He would lift his hood and cover most of his face.
Yan Xingchen: "..." You shouldn't have listened to Qi Wushe and changed his clothes and come out.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long.
Qi Wushe had excellent hearing, so he arrived at the gambling area that Yan Xingchen mentioned just now without any need for guidance.
There are also players coming and going here, but most of these people's eyes are on the gambling game, and no one has the leisure to look around.
There are several live broadcasts projected next to the gambling table. Many players are gathered around there. There is a gambling table next to it with many black keys clearly displayed on it. There are organized players patrolling the table with seemingly high statistics.
Yan Xingchen had seen such a gambling game on the forum before.
This kind of gambling is called a black game. It is not held by Fan Cong through the live broadcast room, but is a gambling game in which some organizations or individuals are the banker and players seek excitement.
He stopped next to a black game where betting had just begun.
In front of him, Qi Wushe also stopped, listened to the discussion of the players on the side, and said: "So this is your idea. You don't have the key anymore."
Yan Xingchen raised his eyebrows: "But you do."
"You should have planned it before you come."
"I don't think you care about this anyway," Yan Xingchen said calmly and stretched out his hand, "Why don't you put it to use."
They stood here for a while. Qi Wushe was too tall. He stood out among the players and could not be ignored. It didn't take long for someone to notice their presence.
——Everyone who will participate in this black game will recognize them.
This black game is betting on whether Yan Xingchen will die in the next copy.
In the black game, the contents that can be placed are clearly divided. You can bet on the day when Yan Xingchen will die after entering the dungeon, and you can even bet on whether Yan Xingchen will be killed by a ghost or someone else in the dungeon.
Players are screwed to death.
In short, there are many options for death, and there are many keys in each betting pool.
There is only one option to clear the level. Although there are people placing bets, you can count them clearly at a glance. There are only dozens of them.
"Why are they..."
"Yan Xingchen looks even better than in the copy."
"What are they doing here? Do they want to interfere with other people's betting? No matter how potential they have, they are just two newcomers."
"Wait a minute, what is Yan Xingchen going to do?"
Yan Xingchen is taking over all the keys to Qi Wushe from Qi Wushe.
This person really didn't care much about these things. Yan Xingchen said he wanted to use them and actually took them all out.
The first dungeon of Going to the Dead does not have an information panel, and naturally there will be no additional bet rewards in the live broadcast room. Qi Wushe has fewer keys than Yan Xingchen, but at a glance, there are close to two hundred. I think this person is also in the dungeon.
Many rewards were obtained.
The keys are all carried in a black drawstring bag, which is a heavy bag.
The number of two hundred is already considered one of the best in this kind of gambling.
He weighed it in his hand, raised his hand, and without blinking, smiled and threw the whole bag of keys at the option of "passing the level alive".
There weren't many people placing bets there, so the two hundred numbers were particularly conspicuous.
He lowered his head slightly and smiled.
——The bait has been thrown out, just wait for the end of the next instance to close the net.
There was an uproar all around!
The young man had just squandered all the keys of Qi Wushe on his own initiative, then turned around and returned behind Qi Wushe with a low eyebrow.
Under the feasting and feasting, his gentle eyes were filled with good intentions, as if he was completely listening to the words of the person in front of him.
Whispers mingled together.
"It turned out to be the one who wanted to die."
"How arrogant."
"Which person who can die in a cage is not arrogant and withdrawn? It is rare to see him staying with Yan Xingchen."
"That's Yan Xingchen after all..."
Qi Wushe didn't know if he overheard the conversations of the other players and knew that Yan Xingchen had thrown all the "gamble" on him.
He shook his head, raised his hand, and as if for revenge, he directly hugged Yan Xingchen in a gesture that could not be refused, and left in full view of everyone.
Yan Xingchen almost threw him over his shoulder with a backhand: "..."
He had never had someone hug his shoulders like this before, and his cheeks suddenly felt a little warm.
Want to hit someone.
Hold it back.
He lowered his head slightly, lowered his eyes, and suppressed his momentary lapse.
After the two left.
"Nearly two hundred keys, my God, did they use all the rewards they got from the Incomplete Wooden Comb copy to bet?"
"This is too confident..."
"But there doesn't seem to be anything wrong? Anyway, if they come out alive, they will definitely win the bet and get more keys. If they die, their lives will be gone. What's the use of having more keys?"
"It makes me want to bet that they can pass the level and give it a try."
"Isn't there anything wrong with this? There are more than two hundred keys. At least I can exchange them for some life-saving items. Resisting the death trigger is more important than anything else, but I ended up spending it here. I didn't dare to place a bet at first. Seeing them like this, I feel like betting
Maybe they can make a fortune if they die on the first day!"
"Yan Xingchen looks even better in person than in the copy..."
"He seems to be blushing a little, so cute!!!"
-
"You mean, they didn't do anything, they just drank, and then made a bet that they could come out of the next dungeon alive?" Liu Zhu confirmed again and again.
"Yes, they didn't see anyone in the box," the reporter said, "They just drank a few glasses of wine. When they came out, the sick man was still a little blushing and didn't know what he was doing in there."
Liu Zhu thought about the way Yan Xingchen looked when he called him "Brother Liu" with a low eyebrow...
It's a pity that even if Qi Wushe dies and Yan Xingchen joins Huangquan, he is still the one Li Jiuze likes and has nothing to do with him.
Thinking of this, he lost interest and waved his hand: "I see, it's a good thing that they bet on passing the level. They agreed too quickly before, and Li Jiuze thought there might be something fishy. Now that they are so confident, it seems that they think that copy
It’s not difficult, that’s why I agreed so quickly, which is normal. You can go and get five low-level dungeon keys with numbers beginning with three as payment for the errands.”
The man smiled and said a few words of gratitude and then left.
-
Half a month later.
Liu Zhu and the others asked Yan Xingchen and Qi Wushe to join the dungeon for half a month. Their original intention was that they would not be prepared in a hurry, so naturally they would not leave much time.
Half a month is extremely long for a dungeon, and for players who are ready to face life and death at any time in the cage world, it is too short and passes in the blink of an eye.
Yan Xingchen was busy learning more about the situation in the cage. He stayed in the live broadcast room and watched several copies. The time to open copy number 201345 was coming.
Two days before the dungeon was opened, Qi Wushe and Yan Xingchen met He Mian at a different bar in the same way, and got the bamboo paper, black dog blood and cinnabar they bought.
As soon as He Mian came in, he said to him seriously: "You are going to enter the dungeon tomorrow, do you really want to stop thinking about it? Go to a simpler dungeon first and get a new round of rewards. Anyway, after entering,
Li Jiuze had no way to interfere with what was going on.
At most, the dungeon will cause you some trouble like rewarding Liu Chang's mother-in-law transposition talisman. It's better than entering a dungeon where you have a narrow escape from death. After you come out, you can think about how to deal with the people in Huangquan. Then you will have the rewards of two dungeons and
With data as the basis, there may be opportunities.”
Yan Xingchen smiled: "Can you solve an organization like Huang Quan by entering and exiting two dungeons?" If it was so easy, how could Liu Zhu be so arrogant?
He Mian also knew the reason.
He said: "But this time it's not just hell. I heard that you also went to the black game to bet on your survival. You must understand what the black game is. In fact, before the end of the Incomplete Wooden Comb copy, there was a black game about you.
, the banker and most of the people lost a lot in that black game. So in this black game, I heard that someone found out that you were going to enter the 201345 instance, and threatened that you would definitely die in it, and someone would come in specifically to guarantee the result.
"
This dirty trick has never happened before.
Since it is a gambling game, anything can happen. And the player's situation in the dungeon is not completely uncontrollable - what if other people also enter the dungeon with the purpose of letting them die?
Then, has the outcome of the gamble become predetermined?
"You mean..." Yan Xingchen folded his hands, thoughtfully, "In order to ensure that the bet can be won, someone will enter this dungeon and try to make us die in it?"
He Mian nodded solemnly: "And the people in Huangquan did not hide the news about this dungeon. They are eager for more people to go in and die, giving them a chance. So now many people know that you have entered this dungeon, maybe
Someone will pay a lot of money to bet that you will die, and then enter the dungeon and try to use the death trigger in the dungeon to kill you."
In this way, Yan Xingchen and Qi Wushe have to face not only the thoughts of the people in Huangquan, but also players who want to kill Yan Xingchen purely for profit.
He pinched his wrist and his voice became lower and lower: "Then let's come in and play together."
Still haven't changed my mind.
Not to mention Qi Wushe, this person might just want to be more "lively".
He said: "Thank you for reminding us about this. Where is the stuff?"
He Mian: "Everything has been changed."
He handed over the bamboo paper, black dog blood, and cinnabar to Yan Xingchen.
When he put these props into the inventory of the information panel, Yan Xingchen had a certain look on his face, and he had a little unexpected gain.
——He found that He Mian seemed to have a naturally sharp intuition in dealing with such matters.
He Mian bought all these, and the quality and time are different. They were purchased in batches from different scattered players, and there were not a large number of one-time key replacements.
When Yan Xingchen asked him to do this, he didn't think of doing it to prevent others from finding out, but as soon as he came to the next dungeon, he would have a falling out with Huang Quan. It would be okay if the other party really found out. Secondly, because he didn't want to
It was too troublesome for He Mian. Unexpectedly, he didn't say it, but He Mian did it perfectly.
Not only that, He Mian also spent a small amount of the keys to buy some common props for exorcising ghosts or treating evil spirits, such as calming charms, disposable band-aids and the like.
Disposable band-aids are used to treat skin injuries. Players will all have some on hand. It is normal for He Mian to buy them.
As for the Soothing Talisman, this thing was indeed useful to him and could help him relieve his headache, but he didn't let He Mian buy it, but He Mian still bought some. I think it was when he was in the dungeon that he observed him taking the rewarded Soothing Talisman.
Used them all.
Careful, meticulous, and very intuitive.
He put away the props, a smile flashed in his dark eyes, and asked the other party: "Last time you said, why did you pay attention to me in the first place?"
"Ah... there was originally an organization competition dungeon in more than a month. The dungeon requires that each organization must have players who are in the rookie stage to enter. Our organization... has been in decline for a long time. It has been lagging behind and there are not many newcomers, so I think
I was browsing the live broadcast to take a look, but I didn’t expect to see your
I paid attention to the live broadcast." He Mian didn't mention it later because he knew Yan Xingchen's current level of attention. Even if he didn't join Huangquan, there were still many other organizations trying to recruit him, and it was impossible for them to be on the verge of getting it.
A disbanded organization. In this case, why bother asking for trouble by mentioning it?
Unexpectedly, Yan Xingchen said: "Okay, then wait until I come out of this dungeon and leave me a spot."
If others give you a peach, he will give you a plum in return.
He also learned from reading the forum these days that some dungeons must be entered as an organization. You can enter such dungeons by joining an organization. Organizations are what Fan Cong uses to promote player competition. In addition to this, there are other benefits.
.Since he has to join an organization sooner or later, he might as well choose a declining organization with no control over him and get the best of both worlds.
He doesn't care whether the organization is strong or not.
Yan Xingchen said it lightly, but He Mian was really caught off guard: "Ah? I haven't introduced our organization to you yet..."
"See you in the live broadcast room number 201345."
He Mian: "???"
He felt that he had a lot of question marks these days.
Yan Xingchen and Qi Wushe left with those props that others would consider useless.
Two days later, Liu Zhu came.
This is what Huang Quan has said long ago.
In order to prevent Qi Wushe and Yan Xingchen from playing tricks, they need to stay together when entering the dungeon.
After Liu Zhu arrived, Yan Xingchen didn't speak much and sat quietly aside, looking at his information panel from time to time, as if he was killing time using the forum and other people's live broadcasts.
He played the role of a good-for-nothing good-for-nothing and did his duty, while Qi Wushe had no acting skills. He did whatever he was supposed to do and kept Liu Zhu in the dark, which made Liu Zhu very angry.
When the dungeon was opened, the key that was originally stored in the inventory of the information panel by Yan Xingchen actually appeared automatically.
He turned around and saw that Qi Wushe and several other people from Huangquan were the same. A black key engraved with a series of numbers appeared in front of them.
The key is surrounded by translucent black light, which is mysterious and mysterious.
Somewhere in the dark, some voice asked him in his mind: [Players please confirm whether to enter this instance. The time limit for each player to enter the instance is one month. You still have half a month. You can choose to refuse entry.
This copy, please confirm whether to enter.】
Liu Zhu and others were watching them.
These people are all players who have entered the dungeon more than once, and they obviously know this process.
In front of them, Yan Xingchen said: "I confirm."
Qi Wushe said nothing.
He didn't even care much about the rules of the cage, so he nodded casually.
Yan Xingchen: "..."
A light flashed before his eyes.
The feeling that his whole soul was being pulled came again. Dizzy, Yan Xingchen took one last look in the direction of Qi Wushe.
The copy is about to be opened.
In the past half month, Qi Wushe has basically not interfered with any of his preparations since reaching cooperation with him.
This person is a random player who is not naturally loved by Fan Cong, but he doesn't care about the content of the dungeon or his plans at all. He doesn't even want to be the one who breaks the game, but Qi Wushe wants to enter the dungeon again...
Qi Wushe is the first person he has delivered so much truth to.
He is also the first person to whom he has entrusted his trust but still does not understand many things.
Everyone who enters the cage will have a wish. His wish is to be a normal person. What wish would someone like Qi Wushe come in for?
The surroundings were completely dark.
Yan Xingchen's incomplete soul trembled under such a tug, and he had a splitting headache.
Alert sounds came from all directions.
[The dungeon is loaded successfully, the players are in place, and the dungeon world is opened. 】
Chapter completed!
