Screaming Cycle

Although it was eight o'clock in the evening with Ren Jian, Ji Lu consciously didn't let people wait as a kind of etiquette, and he stood at the door of Liange 20 minutes early.

The connecting pavilion is aptly named. From the structural point of view, it is indeed very similar to the corridor-style attic of the Han Dynasty, but it is not the antique carved beams and paintings and the cornices that Ji Lui previously guessed, but it is connected by intricate floating ties. , Many steel spheres staggered high and low.

Ji Tuan waited for a while and saw the two best friends he met in the City of Ashes coming hand in hand.

Zhang Ying and Min Qingqing were naturally very happy when they saw him, and sincerely invited him in, but was declined by Ji Xiaoniao because he had to wait for someone.

Although the two girls were disappointed, they didn't force it, and with a nervous expression, they entered the hemispherical entrance of the corridor.

When it was ten minutes before eight o'clock, Mo Tiangen also came.

Obviously Mr. Dagen washed up in his room and changed into a simple V-neck T-shirt and jeans. He felt at least five years younger. He didn't look like a high school teacher at all, but he seemed to have just stepped out of college. The society at the school gate is a newcomer.

"Oh!"

Before Ji Yu said to him, Mo Tiangen raised his eyebrows at him first, "Okay, Ji Xiaoniao, you are so handsome to clean up!"

"Wh, there is no..."

Ji Xuan scratched his nose awkwardly.

He didn't want to admit that he did dress up deliberately.

Before that, he spent half an hour in front of the mirror in the room, took out the new clothes in the closet and matched them one by one, and finally picked a set with his unruly straight male eyes. He thought The most handsome guy even scratched his hair with the styling spray to make the wool curls that always warped his head look more submissive.

When he was finally satisfied with the tricks, he took in his two invitations, and went out nervously like a high school student who was dating his sweetheart for the first time.

"correct!"

Ji Lu didn't want Mo Tiangen to continue to focus on his dress, and quickly changed the subject, "Ren Jian silent said he will come too!"

"Oh Yo!"

Teacher Dagen joked:

"You really deserve to be his boyfriend, you got in touch so soon!"

Ji Xiaoniao's face turned red.

It was red from the tip of the nose to the base of the ears.

He hurriedly covered Teacher Dagen's mouth, and opened his mouth to deny the third company, "I don't have it, don't I don't talk nonsense, you are responsible for ruining people's reputation!"

Mo Tiangen: "Huh? Isn't that what you said?"

He turned his head and avoided Ji Shu's claws:

"After all, you are in that ghost city, but you came out publicly in front of everyone, holding hands and loving very much... um um um!"

When the two were smashing into a ball, Ren Jianmo stepped on the eight o'clock hour and came on time.

Classmate Xiaoniao quickly separated from Teacher Dagen, and subconsciously pulled the little curly hairs on top of his head.

Ren Jianmo wore a black long-sleeved shirt, a pair of off-white slacks, and a pair of white canvas shoes. His long hair that was about to reach his waist was tied into a ponytail, and the clothes all over his body were simple enough. It can be seen that he wanted to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.

It's a pity that Ji Lu feels that Ren Dameiren's efforts are really meaningless.

When a person is outstanding to a certain extent in both face and figure, he will naturally be a luminous body. Even if he puts on a sack to make his face expressionless, it will make people feel that this is the high-level face representative on the Paris show.

Ren Jian nodded calmly at the two.

"go in."

He said.

&&&&&&&&&

Ji Lu, Ren Jianmo, and Mo Tiangen brushed the invitation letter at the entrance of the connecting pavilion. Three minutes later, the three of them were sent directly to the ginkgo by the floating corridor of the connecting pavilion.

More than a dozen people have gathered in the room.

Ji Yu glanced at him. In addition to Zhang Ying and Min Qingqing, he saw Zhao Chai and a pair of sister flowers who had previously met outside the Colosseum.

The beautiful sisters saw them coming, both got up and greeted them enthusiastically to sit down, and at the same time they couldn't help but linger on Ren Jianmo's handsome and unreal side faces for a long time.

"Okay, now that everyone is there, we can start."

In the circular conference hall, Zhao Zhui Shiran walked to the circular conference table.

In this briefing, they picked up a total of 18 newcomers from the three "worlds."

Among them, the two groups of people who left the Colosseum in the morning and at noon on the 3rd, when in the "world", all met Zhao Chai and their gang.

In "Peach Blossom Spring", date is just a simple unit for measuring when it will enter or leave the "world".

That's because the time passing between "Peach Blossom Spring" and each "world" is not equal.

In some "worlds", especially those with higher difficulty, participants may have to stay in them for ten and a half days to complete the tasks they are given by the plot.

But when they leave the "world" and come back, they will find that the calendar shows only the 16th of the month, that is, only one day has passed in the "Peach Blossom Spring".

In the same way, in those F-class "worlds" that are not very difficult, there may be both novices who have entered for the first time and experienced players who have participated in one or two times.

Even if they complete the "world" together, according to the rules, the experiencer will return to the "Peach Blossom Spring" on the 16th of this month, while the rookies will have to wait until the 3rd of next month before they come out of the Colosseum.

This kind of strange unequal speed experience, for newcomers who have just entered, it is always difficult to adapt at the beginning, and it is inevitable that they will fall into logical paradox thinking like wormholes and black holes from time to time. .

But if they can survive two or three "worlds" successfully, they will get used to it and look aside, and they will only consider how many days they have to prepare before the 15th of the next month.

Because of the time difference between the experiencer and the novice, as early as half a month ago, Zhao Zhui and others had obtained the evaluation of the new people who survived the same "world" from these populations.

It has to be said that Zhao Zhui thinks that the performance of the newcomers is very average, at the average level of novices, and is similar to the group of best friends Ji Yu and the others encountered in the City of Ashes.

But for Zhao Zhui and others, these novices who don’t know anything are equivalent to a group of bleating sheep, and they can easily squeeze a handful of wool first. As for the other...

The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a gentle and harmless smile.

——Wait for them to live through the next "world".

"Welcome to our newcomer briefing. Let me introduce you first. Our gang is called Compass."

Zhao Chai said with a smile:

"As the name suggests, our gang gathers some participants who want to go home. We work together and work towards this goal together."

As soon as his voice fell, the expressions of most of the eighteen newcomers present changed.

Most of them have not been able to accept the fact that they are actually dead. They still feel that they are just ordinary people. They have an extremely strong desire to "go home".

Zhao Chai's simple opening remarks are hitting their deadly spots, and they are more effective than any provocative words.

A few young girls among the newcomers, even when they heard the word "go home", their eyes were red involuntarily.

Ji Shu also sat up straight.

"I know that you have just entered the'Peach Blossom Spring'. There must be a lot of questions that need to be guided by those of us who are experienced."

Zhao Zhui: "Don't worry, I will answer you one by one."

…………

...

After that, Ji Lu finally knew what a "collectible" was.

In fact, this name is another name passed by word of mouth by the participants, and it is not in the rules of "Peach Blossom Spring", so artificial intelligence such as Xiaobai will not mention this to newcomers who have just entered the world.

Before entering the "world", the participants can use their points to redeem the points from "Peach Blossom Spring" to props that they think will be helpful for the clearance-such as the one that Jie Ge brought into the City of Ashes according to the previews they saw. gun.

But Ji Yu had practiced it personally. The gun he snatched from Jie had disappeared when he woke up from the small black room in the Colosseum.

Not just a gun, even Ji Xiaoniao didn't forget the bow bag he brought with him when he ran away in the "world", and he couldn't bring it back from the city of ashes.

Now after Zhao Zhui's explanation, he finally understood what was going on.

In fact, all the items brought into the "world" by the participants will be defaulted to be disposable consumables, which can only be used in the current "world" and cannot be brought into any other space.

However, participants sometimes obtain certain key items in the process of customs clearance.

If these things have not been consumed by the plot, after the participants return to "Peach Blossom Spring", they will find that the thing has come back with them, and it has become a portable prop, which can follow them to enter any one." In the world.

Such items are called "collectibles" by the participants.

The collections they obtained in each "world" are a very important resource for them.

Although they cannot directly become points, they can become a kind of hard currency circulating among the participants.

For example, if someone gets a curse-immune collection in a "world" with a European medieval background, as long as he publishes this information, many actors who are about to face witches, demons or vampires will be admired. Come, exchange points or collectibles of the same value to him.

And Zhao chasing their "compass", one of the conditions for attracting newcomers to the gang is to hand over the collections they obtain in the "world" to the gang for a unified distribution, so as to achieve the most effective use of all kinds of props.

"Of course, the gang will not want your things for nothing."

Zhao Zhui said with a smile: "We will reward the winner with a point based on the level of the collection."

Ji Shu faintly felt that something was wrong.

Unlike the game guilds in online games, there is no real guild mission in Taohuayuan. Whether it is "Compass" or other so-called gang organizations, they are all spontaneously organized by the participants.

So, where did the points used to maintain the operation of the gang come from?

Ji Lu can only think of the universal truth of the phrase "wool comes from the sheep".

The public points of the gang must be collected from the members of the organization.

"Wow... Isn't this a shortcut for customs clearance?"

Ji Lu murmured in a low voice.

He still remembers the ranking of the performers on the obelisk.

Now it seems that these organizers don’t even have to earn points to earn points, they just need to constantly attract enough new people, and then in the name of operating a gang, some points are drawn from other members and aggregated to themselves, and they can easily manage it. Dominate the obelisk.

"No, they won't do that."

Ren Jianmo's answer came from Ji Shu's ear.

He raised his head, his expression was very surprised.

The voice he spoke just now was obviously very soft, so light that Ji Yu thought it was just talking to himself.

But Ren Jianmo heard it, somehow he heard it, and understood what he meant.

"Because the risk of doing so is too great, it will only kill myself."

Ren Jianmo lowered his head, his lips almost pressed to his auricle, and whispered in a breath:

"'Peach Blossom Spring' will not allow such opportunistic tricks."
