Forces of Temptation

The fear that accompanies the lack of oxygen quickly consumes the player's limited physical strength.

A circle of people fell to the ground in a panic, gasping for breath in revenge.

Fortunately, the right to use oxygen only stipulates the time limit, not the amount.

Rabbit pickup is not happy.

"Oxygen" is at the back of the redemption page in the mall.

Therefore, every time at this stage, no one of the players is not scared.

It once enjoyed the scene where a player was flustered, unable to maintain normal thinking ability, and suffocated to death.

…Compared to this group of players, the test is too trivial.

Jiang Fang at least gave it some face, and stayed where it was.

And that Nanzhou, after making sure that everyone would be safe, ran to the wishing pool.

He was half-kneeling at the edge of the pool, his half-length hair slipped from behind his auricle, and he looked down into the water, not knowing what he was thinking.

The players sat crookedly on the ground and decided to ignore this abnormal artist.

Zhao Guanglu gasped and asked, "That game... what happened?"

Wu Yukai swallowed hard to relieve the dryness of his throat, and gave a simple and rude answer: "bug!"

Gravity, which has been running smoothly for nearly a year, had a catastrophic bug at the end of January this year.

The inability to log out properly occurs to many people.

In the beginning, this was just a normal card bug.

Some players need to click several times to successfully log off when they choose to log off.

"Tree of Life" received complaints from players and began to race against time to update patches.

After the patch was updated, the problem disappeared for two days.

When all players thought the problem was solved, a terrible electronic disaster directly caused Gravity to have the biggest scandal in game history so far.

—A large number of players have problems that they cannot successfully leave the game, and after going offline, headaches, dizziness, coma, temporary blindness and other phenomena occur invariably.

Hundreds of players were forced out of the cabin, and even fell into a severe deep coma.

Overnight, the stock price of "Tree of Life" jumped off the building.

When the "Tree of Life" company was just started the accountability program, a strange dialog box similar to system debugging appeared in the sky.

However, at the time no one knew what that meant.

Until now, they are still ignorant.

Xie Yangyang asked tremblingly, "What happened to those who were in a deep coma?"

"Dead." Wu Yukai pulled his hair as if venting, "...Fuck, one by one, they all died."

In the suffocating silence, the rabbit quacks and laughs.

"Okay, the information exchange time is over." Its depressed mood was cured a lot by the desperate expressions of everyone, "Now, let me announce the rules of the game for you—"

"Tinkle-"

Bunny Pickup's schadenfreude was interrupted by a melodious sound of music.

A hidden ranking list pops up in front of all players.

A series of messages appeared on the world speaker below.

【Congratulations to the player Nanzhou for triggering the Easter Egg Reward—Gold Coins from Goddess of Luck! 】

[Reward: 5 points. 】

[Reward: Gold Coins from Goddess of Luck. 】

[Use of gold coins: When making a wish, put gold coins into the pool, there will be a lucky bonus~]

[Get the achievement "Maiden's Prayer"—]

Everyone: "…"

God TM Maiden's Prayer.

Looking at Rabbit Pickup's face, this is clearly the Rabbit's birthday.

The hero Nanji Xing bit a gold coin, surfaced wetly, and climbed the white jade statue of the tree of life: "...Squeak."

Nan Zhou opened his palm to him.

Nanjingxing excitedly shook the water on the tip of her ear, opened the sliding membrane, and landed directly on the palm of the owner. She also rolled two times in the palm of Nanzhou because of the water on her body and the instability of her standing. lap, just stop the car.

At this moment, there is only one thought in the mind of a normal person.

…Nanzhou is not only a pervert who stores corpses in his storage tank.

When everyone was discussing the issue of life and death, he actually went to the pool to get gold coins.

Pickup is also very upset.

Those who have returned from the dungeon will take the rare oxygen to rest and replenish their physical strength.

Who is free to play for gold coins?

It unilaterally announced that Nanzhou was the most unqualified player it had ever encountered.

Of course, Pickup will not admit that it hates Nanzhou, just because Nanzhou deprives it of the hard-won pleasure experience in its mechanical work.

Nanzhou doesn't care about everyone and Rabbit Pickup's slander.

He walked back and opened his palm to Pika silently, revealing the gleaming gold coin engraved with the tree of life pattern.

Nanzhou: "…" How do I use this?

Rabbit: "..." Are you showing off to me?

One person and one rabbit, whose brain waves did not match, fell into a strange stalemate.

Nan Zhou didn't get an answer, and didn't want to waste everyone's time. Seeing that everyone was sitting on the ground, they naturally chose to be in a group, put away the coins, and sat down cross-legged.

Rabbit pickup didn't respond for a while: "..."

Before it could speak, Nan Zhou looked up and asked earnestly, "Didn't you just introduce the rules of the game?"

Pickup: "..." Damn it.

Its speech speed suddenly became like mushrooms on the bus, as if eating Xuanmai.

"The rules of the game are simple, whoever has the most points wins."

This is obvious.

The winning mechanism of the game is almost on the surface: Points are king.

The little easter egg that Nanzhou just found triggered the world horn and the current ranking.

The player who is currently ranked first, has the highest points, and has reached level 23.

But his name is very strange, called "Eternal Life-Zhang Yi".

Level 5 Mengxin Nanzhou asked: "What is 'eternal life'?"

The rabbit didn't want to say a word: "The team name."

…is the game teamable?

Players who haven't played Gravity immediately pricked up their ears.

Li Yinhang was not surprised.

She once heard a colleague who owns "Gravity" say that there is a single-player mode and a team mode in "Gravity".

Single player mode, no matter how much the reward is, it belongs to one person.

Team mode, rewards are shared, and you will get a certain team points bonus, as well as special team rewards that cannot be obtained in single-player mode, and the number of people is limited to 2 to 5.

And what Rabbit Pickup tells is almost the same as the copy mode of "Gravity".

"The official game is divided into two modes: PVP and PVE."

"Your demo level, random PVP."

"At the beginning of each level, you have the right to choose PVP and PVE. Of course, the premise is that you must have a 'level selection'."

Have experienced hypoxia events, everyone has learned to behave.

Select a level, 100 points, on the first page of the mall page.

"After the game is over, players can return to a rest spot like 'Rust City' and enjoy it to the fullest."

"Of course, any enjoyment comes at a price."

"Cherish every point of yours and make good use of it, they are closely related to your life."

Someone asked with a little hope: "If we die in this game, then in reality..."

This question is moot.

They come from reality.

None of those who disappeared in reality came back.

What's more, being pulled into such a treacherous game simply and rudely, this is already a bright face with "Dear player, hello, I'm your father", can talk about What are the conditions?

Sure enough, Rabbit Pickup sneered, which counted as an answer.

"The game, there is always a time to clear the level."

Pika said so many words in one breath, and the bad mood gradually eased.

It raised its head arrogantly, and its ears creaked: "The game is over, and the winner can achieve a wish."

"Here, that's the Trevi Fountain..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered the nasty thing that happened just now.

Its three-lobed mouth droops down, and continues to explain reluctantly.

"Now, you can spend 10 points to make a wish."

"After the game is over, as long as the player's final ranking reaches the first, whether it is a single player or a team, your wish will be realized."

"Of course, you will think, if you make 'one hundred more wishes', is it feasible?"

"The answer is that your wish will be skipped and not fulfilled."

"So, please make a wish carefully."

Speaking, Pickup glanced at Nanzhou disdainfully.

“…In addition, the wish made by the person who owns the lucky gold coins has a certain lucky bonus, and the wish will be fulfilled first.”

… "What are you proud of with a **** skill" written all over the face.

Nan Zhou blinked, not so disappointed.

Sure enough, the reward given by the easter egg will not be too exaggerated.

If you want to realize your wish, you still have to win the first place in points.

To put it bluntly, this gold coin is a gadget with a pure color head.

Someone dared to ask: "Then... can we still go fishing for gold coins?"

Pickup rolled her eyes.

"What does 'Easter Egg' mean? - Only the first person to get it gets the reward!"

It also looked tired of repeating this over and over again, crossed its front paws, hugged it on its chest, and said lazily: "Players, please hurry up and make a wish."

Rabbit Pickup just used a cold demeanor to cover up her crazy heart, disappeared with a bang, and went to receive the next wave of guests.

The first person to move is Nan Zhou.

He walked back to the Trevi Fountain and threw the gold coins back into the water without hesitation.

At the same time as the small sound of falling water sounded, 10 points were also deducted.

Nanzhou did not care about this.

He closed his eyes, looked very pious, and made a wish.

Seeing that Nanzhou made a wish, everyone rushed up.

They've just bought oxygen, and it's no big deal to spend another 10 points to buy a good jackpot.

Some people also took the opportunity to sneak their hands into the pool water, trying to see if they could fish out more gold coins.

…Even earning 5 points is good.

But those gold coins seemed to be firmly wedged in the bottom of the pool, no matter how anyone fiddled with them, they would not move.

Only two people did not move.

Jiang Fang, and Li Yinhang.

After Nanzhou made the wish, she saw the two standing far away from the wishing pond, so she walked towards them naturally.

He asked, "Why don't you make a wish?"

Jiang Fang said with a smile: "No hurry. There is no time limit for making a wish, so you have to think about it. It is not too late to make a wish when you are about to win."

Li Yinhang's reasons are very simple.

"I want to wait until I have a little more points on hand to make a promise." She said, "I'm afraid that when the points should be used, the points will not be enough."

After making wishes one after another, the next question everyone faces is who to form a team with.

One of the people here counts as one, and no one wants to be a loner.

After going through the test of a copy, they can be considered to have a basic understanding of each other.

They approached and talked in a low voice, but they ignored Jiang Fang and Nanzhou, consciously or unintentionally.

To let these people evaluate whether Jiang Fang and Nan Zhou are smart, no one will say anything.

But to say how much people trust them is not necessarily true.

Nan Zhou seems to be a loner at first glance, and seems to be a pervert who does not play cards according to common sense.

Jiangfang feels very comfortable and friendly, but after a thorough analysis of the bus on the Nanzhou, everyone can come to a most basic conclusion even if it is cloudy and foggy:

…This man is a scumbag.

Yin others don't matter, what if he is a perineal teammate.

Everyone has noticed that there is no rule in this game that teammates cannot hurt each other.

If it's a simple game, it's better to have a smart teammate.

It is a matter of life and death now, and no one dares to gamble easily.

Being with people who are too smart, sometimes they die without knowing how they died.

Xie Yangyang formed a team with the pair of men and women who got on the bus together.

Zhao Guanglu actually left with Wu Yukai, who had just started a fierce friction with him.

Probably because he knows nothing about games, and Wu Yukai is the one who knows "Gravity" the most.

Adults only consider the pros and cons, and will not get angry.

Seeing everyone leave in groups one by one, Nanzhou, who was left to the side, looked around, and then made a low "ah": "Why are you gone?"

Li Yinhang: "..." There is another one here.

Nan Zhou didn't seem to regret much. After stating the fact to himself, he turned to Li Yinhang and said, "Who do you want to form a team with?"

Li Yinhang has always been the most pragmatic and very good.

She put her hands together with a snap, hugged her thighs sincerely and said: "Boss, I'm with you. I'm not sticky, obedient and easy to use, and I have also worked as a bank customer service for two years. .You believe me, I can overcome any difficulty."

Jiang Fang looked at the eager Li Yinhang, and several key words appeared in his mind:

It may be physically retarded.

Obedient, crisp and not sticky.

Be smart.

With him, Li Yinhang, as a teammate, is functional.

In contrast, Nanzhou's keyword judgment on Li Yinhang is much simpler.

He looked at Li Yinhang and thought to himself that there were three more storage slots.

Nanzhou clicked on the friend list, and after asking Li Yinhang's personal serial number in the game interface, he turned to look at Jiang Fang.

Jiang Fang stared at him and smiled softly.

Nan Zhou pulled Li Yinhang's sleeve, faced him, and took two steps back.

Immediately, he raised his hand and waved him friendly: "Then, goodbye."

Jiang Fang: “…”

—Nanzhou, it seems, didn’t even consider pulling him to form a team?

"Wait."

Jiang Fang quickly adjusted his mentality and took a step forward: "Aren't you going to pull me into a team?"

"Hmm..." Nan Zhou frowned slightly, "Yes. But you didn't say it."

Jiang Fang: "I thought... we were handcuffed together in the car, and we stayed together after getting off the car. We should be in a team."

"But you didn't ask me." Nan Zhou showed a puzzled look, "You want to say, you want to be with me. If you don't say it, I don't understand."

At that moment, the emotions in Jiang Fang's eyes became complicated again.

"I want to..."

He seemed unaccustomed to such straightforwardness, took a breath, and lowered his eyes.

After a while, he smiled a little, looked Nan Zhou's eyes directly, and tried his best to complete the simple sentence:

"I want to be with you."
