Chapter 244 Where Is the Clock? (Subscribe Please!)

Considering the bell, Cheye Nanhuan decided to start the action the next day to test the effect of the colored pills first.

Otherwise, if he ran away, it would be a waste of time.

It was not easy to ask at night. The NPCs in the town were very healthy and rested after nightfall. They couldn't break into the B&B at night and force them to wake up and ask.

Because they might not be able to beat the natives here.

These NPCs looked average, with dozens or hundreds of them, but the sand giant worms left a deep impression on them. The monsters were so fierce, so it was better for NPCs to provoke them less.

So let's go to bed first.

After a day's journey, take a good rest and get enough energy to work tomorrow.

As for where to sleep...

This thing that had never been considered became a problem.

It was said that the action would be taken the next day, but there were always players who couldn't help asking questions after the meeting. First, they asked the NPCs in Town No. 1 one by one, and looked for accommodation by the way. Then they went to Towns No. 2, 3, 4, and 5. They ran to several places in a row, but didn't find an empty house.

Those who are good at speaking, such as Old Li, can convince a woman with just a few words, successfully gain a place in the house, and gain a place.

Those who are not good at speaking are not so lucky. They either sleep on the street or in the desert. The former looks too miserable, and the latter is too dangerous. So everyone finally decided to sleep on the ground in the square.

Everyone is miserable, which means no one is miserable.

Gu Chi was not surprised at all that he could not find a place to live. After all, although this place looks like a town, it is actually an exile prison. Nataya said that a group of new people were replaced here a few months ago, and the "cells" are full. It is estimated that it will take a few days before there is a place.

Gu Chi was not worried at all.

Who made him have the art of speaking?

He took the Xia Leng sisters, Youyouzi and others, as well as Dr. Chen who rushed to the town at dusk, and went on a killing spree outside the city, killing a bunch of bugs, and then built a house on the spot.

Gu Chi did not ask Xiaopoyou to take his 60,000 attributes for the time being.

First, it is not needed for the time being. His spiritual power is still enough, and he can ensure the safety of the team without Dao Yun.

Second, Gu Chi is on guard against Xiao Po You.

Although he was not immediately banned from brushing legends in the dungeon last time, Xiao Po You has learned to be smart and reacts quickly. If he frees himself in advance, Xiao Po You will patch him at the speed of light, which will be a lot of fun.

After Gu Chi gets the attributes, he must clear the dungeon as quickly as possible, or kill the shadow of the God of Fooling, and not give Xiao Po You the opportunity to punish him.

Bugs are also a technical job, and every time he is racing with Xiao Po You.

On the other hand, Gu Chi does not want to attract the attention of the old gods - he is not sure whether the old gods can perceive the changes in this world through shadows or other means. If the real old gods are accidentally attracted, the difficulty of the dungeon may become Ω again, the kind that cannot be cleared seriously.

That is why Gu Chi does not plan to attack other old gods' shadows.

At first, when he heard that the twelve gods were all shadows, he wanted to kill all the shadows except the God of Destiny to get more points, but the shadows of the old gods were closely related to the old gods themselves, so it was not easy to move.

So Gu Chi decided to lay an ambush and ignore the other old gods' shadows. When the God of Fool was on duty, he would jump out and give the other party a surprise.

Now he had to make do with more than a hundred Daoyun.

It would definitely not be enough to build a big house directly, but he could divide the steps.

Wall by wall, Gu Chi finally built a nine-story villa in the desert before the bell rang, and spent an hour.

The first floor was still designed according to his own decoration, with sofas and TVs - although the TV could not be watched, the family atmosphere was full.

Xia Leng's eyebrows curved unconsciously when she saw it.

She felt that if she listed all the things she liked about this man, she might not be able to finish writing in a notebook.

The remaining floors are decorated in classic Chinese style, with the number of rooms as the main factor. A staircase is built on the side, so people can go up and down without entering the house. It is for people like Strength 39 to live in.

Gu Chi also built a fence around the area and planted some cacti with his mouth. The whole place looks like a desert manor.

Ye Maohan and others were dumbfounded for three times.

What kind of outrageous operation is this?

He had called Gu Chi to play the game, and said that he would let Gu Chi and Xia Leng come for a honeymoon, but it was all a joke. But this guy was serious? ?

Can you build a villa in the dungeon?

In the square, many players had put on a few clothes and lay down comfortably, but when they turned around, they saw that there was a castle-like mansion outside the city.

The luxurious and exquisite appearance formed a sharp contrast with the old towns that were about to be buried. They suddenly felt that their floor mats were not fragrant.

"Too much... It's too much!" A male player wiped the sweat from his forehead and said angrily, "Opening up a wasteland is such a hard and hard thing, how can you just enjoy it?"

"That's right!" A female player echoed, "Suffering makes people progress, enjoyment makes people degenerate, this attitude is very improper!"

At this time, a Strength 39 walked briskly through the square, looking in a good mood, as if he was going to live in a big house.

The male player immediately said: "Brother Jiu, you must take me in, I want to criticize their bad behavior in person!"

Female player: "?"

Strength 39: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Tui, I'm too lazy to expose you, hypocritical man!

In the desert villa, Cheng Cheng drank frozen juice while sighing: "He is indeed a man with cheats."

Last time, he waved his hand at Wu Quxing and the capital was full of banquets. This time, he made a sand view room. Is there anything he can't do?

Gu Chi said again: "I reiterate that I, Gu Changge, did not cheat."

Cheng Cheng nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Ah, yes, yes, you didn't, I did."

She used the luck cheat, and she can hug the long legs of the Emperor of Heaven every time recently!

Gu Chi: "..."

Forget it, let's put it aside for a while.

A person with a clear conscience is not afraid of his shadow.

Gu Chi was too lazy to explain and asked Youyouzi, "Do you know Lingmao?"

"Just met." Youyouzi bit the pipe, "Then you argued with me all the way."

Gu Chi said with a smile, "Don't you know how to check the ID?"

Youyouzi tilted her head, "What ID? I don't know Gu Yuan, I only know a prophet."

Gu Chi rolled his eyes, "Then you two can continue to argue."

Youyouzi smiled and said, "Yes, sir!"

She drank all the frozen juice produced by Gu Chi and really went.

"I won't disturb your world of three." Chengcheng followed and ran away.

Except for Gu Chi and Xia Leng sisters who lived on the first floor, everyone else was upstairs.

Lingmao was now nestling in the room on the second floor, sitting on the bed and looking at the sand sea dyed red by the sunset outside the window, looking unhappy.

Youyouzi sneaked in quietly and sat down next to Lingmao, almost scared by Lingmao and rolled under the bed.

Lingmao patted her chest and said angrily: "What are you doing? Scaring people will scare them to death!"

Youyouzi blinked: "I'm helping you adjust your mood."

She had seen it a long time ago. Ever since Gu Chi showed up, Lingmao has been in a bad mood. Why is that?

She found her boss, shouldn't she be happy?

As someone with similar experiences, Youyouzi is very sure of her judgment: "Little cat, you have a problem."

Lingmao glared at her: "You have a problem."

Youyouzi patted Lingmao's leg in a condescending manner and said: "No need to hide, I can understand you."

Lingmao pretended not to understand: "Understand what?"

"Mood." Youyouzi said, "When I first knew about this, I had the same idea as you."

Lingmao: "Same as me?"

Youyouzi nodded: "Yes, Shark Qingchi and grab the boss."

Lingmao: "???"

She didn't think so!

Qingchi is a goddess, a "goddess" recognized by players. There is a "Wu" character hidden between these two words. How can she beat her?

A hundred of her are not enough to beat the goddess.

Youyouzi looks better than her, but she doesn't look like someone who can arm wrestle with the goddess. How dare she?

"Do you think there is a big gap between me and Qingchi?" In fact, as long as she is not on Wu Qu Star, she is not without a chance of winning. Even if she doesn't, what's the problem? Youyouzi said: "It doesn't matter, it's just a game. The worst thing is death. You can be a hero again in the next dungeon. It's too bad to be restrained when playing a game."

Lingmao: "..."

It seems to be the truth?

Being submissive in reality, but hitting hard in the game?

"So I did it at that time." Youyouzi said, "The result..."

"I understand." Before she finished speaking, Lingmao suddenly stood up, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, with a firm look in her eyes.

The heavy shield was bigger than her and looked cute.

Youyouzi: "?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Rob someone."

Suzumao said: "Didn't you say that the worst that can happen is death?"

Youyouzi: "???"

That's right, but listen to me until I finish my words!

She hasn't said the final outcome yet.

Youyouzi is just describing her mental journey at the time, and wants to use her story to let Suzumao learn from it.

It really hurts to have your hand cut off.

It's best for Suzumao not to have bold ideas. If you have any, hold it back and don't be impulsive, otherwise you will not only die, but also cause trouble for Mr. Prophet.

This is not a PVP copy.

Youyouzi doesn't want to see Suzumao being ruthlessly killed by the goddess, nor does she want to see Mr. Prophet get into trouble, so she came to persuade the girl and give her a shot of prevention.

But the needle was only half inserted, and the medicine hadn't been pushed in yet. Lingmao "understood" her unexpectedly, and said seriously: "I think what you said makes sense. Anyway, I often die in this dungeon, so this time is not a big deal."

As she said that, she was about to go out to look after the pool.

Youyouzi hurriedly grabbed her: "Wait!"

If Lingmao left the room, it would be terrible. If he asked her about it later, Mr. Prophet might think that she instigated it.

Lingmao: "I have made up my mind, don't stop me."

Youyouzi: "No! You are not allowed to go!"

Lingmao was actually pretending.

The most important thing in making friends is to have common points. Youyouzi is impulsive, and she is also impulsive. Isn't there a topic?

After working on the dungeon for half a year, Lingmao is no longer the stupid newbie she was at the beginning - at least not completely.

Moreover, if Youyouzi didn't stop her, she might really treat her as a traitor.

The big boss took her to open up the wasteland, but she still caused trouble for the big boss. Isn't that pure ignorance?

She is so well-behaved, how could she do such a thing?

Anyone who tries to destroy her relationship with the boss is a bad guy!

Yuyuko didn't know Suzumona well and didn't realize she was acting. She thought Suzumona was really going and wouldn't let the girl go no matter what.

"Let me go quickly, I promise not to turn you in." Lingmao said.

Youyouzi: "Don't let go."

Lingmao said half-seriously, "Then I can go say hello to the boss, right?"

From the time Gu Chi appeared until now, the two goddesses have been guarding Gu Chi, and she couldn't find a chance to talk to them.

Youyouzi didn't believe it and threatened fiercely: "Don't try to lie to me. If you do this again, I will tie you up."

Unexpectedly, Lingmao was startled: "Are you serious?"

Youyouzi: "Of course."

She thought the girl didn't believe it, so she emphasized her tone: "Don't think I don't dare, I even tied up Mr. Prophet."

"That's great!" Lingmao was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard that Yuyouzi had tied up Gu Chi, he threw away his heavy shield and sword, and took the initiative to put his hands together and stretched them in front of Youyouzi, "Quickly, tie me up. I."

Her delicate and red face revealed a shy smile: "Remember to use the same rope that tied the boss."

Youyouzi: "???"

The setting sun gradually disappeared into the horizon.

The dim afterglow shone through the window, witnessing the birth of a wonderful friendship.

The two girls initially had their own concerns to prevent the other from being a mole, but through a large iron chain, the suspicion between strangers was eliminated.

One likes to tie people and the other likes to be tied. This should be a stronger friendship than ordinary friends.

Gu Chi didn't know what was happening upstairs, so he was sitting on the sofa chatting with the sisters.

Other players are looking eagerly to the west.

They have fallen down countless times this night, and now they are facing the bell again, and it is inevitable that they will feel a little nervous.

Part of this tension was brought to them by Gu Chi.

During the day, they had already skipped the first two stages, and Gu Chi was proven to be able to kill elite monsters instantly with one sword. This cheat-like combat power raised their probability of clearing this wasteland to an unprecedented level. It can be said that, As long as you survive the bell and have enough time to launch a strategy, the first kill is basically within your grasp.

Tonight is very crucial.

When only the last glowing outline of the setting sun remained, All Night Long sent a copy of the trumpet.

【Everyone is taking drugs! ! 】

At this moment, almost all the players threw the colored pills they had prepared into their mouths.

After chewing it, it is quite fragrant and tastes like slightly mushy chocolate beans.

but……

The bell didn't ring.

The lightless darkness in memory has not come either.

The sun has completely set, but the night still has the gleam that an ordinary night should have.

It was still dark, but not as suffocating as pure darkness.

A second passes.

Two seconds pass.

Ten seconds passed...

Nothing happened.

Only the hot night wind stirred up the dust and made a whistling sound.

Old Li Tou on the kang: "?"

Ye Maohan on the top floor of the villa: "?"

Players camping in the square: "?"

Gu Chi and Xia Ling, who didn't take this matter to heart at first, were also stunned.

"Where's the bell?"

Xia Ling said inexplicably: "The God of Darkness is off work?"

"Could it be a shift change?" Xia Leng asked, "Fooling?"

Gu Chi quickly walked to the window and took a look.

At this time, the moon just rose from the east, bright and round.

"It shouldn't be a fool." Gu Chi didn't say it too harshly.

When a copy of a god is involved, anything can happen.

But he is now at level 10 divinity, so he can be sure that he has not entered the illusion.

Maybe the God of Fools only has this kind of attack method, but if it is not an illusion, it means that the bell is not hidden, but is indeed not rung.

The ringing of the Dust Knell is a big rule, and Nataya also clearly told him that the Shadow of the Old God would ring the bell every day. She couldn't remember how many years it had been ringing, but she was sure that there would never be a day without the bell ringing.

Tonight should be the God of Darkness.

Whether it's the old players' impressions of the first bell or the information they learned from Natalya, this is shown.

And now a while has passed, and not only has the bell not rang, but nothing has happened.

It seems like this is an ordinary night in the desert, sultry but peaceful.

"Did the God of Darkness really skip work?" Xia Ling didn't quite believe it.

Dust Death Knell is not a new version. Players have been playing for so many years and have died countless times under the bell of the God of Darkness. He doesn’t skip work early or late, but when it’s their turn, the God of Darkness doesn’t knock. It's time. It couldn't be that she was scared by her brother, right?

Gu Chi was silent for a moment: "It's possible that he can't knock it anymore."

Xia Leng: "..."

She seemed to understand what Gu Chi meant.

Xia Ling reacted and opened her eyes slightly: "Isn't it because you destroyed the Dark City?"

The God of Darkness didn't skip work, on the contrary, he came too early and was still doing his own thing in the city, and was taken away by the tornado following Gu Chi?

Xia Ling: "..."

Should she say that the God of Darkness is delicious, or should she say that Brother Gu Chi is awesome?

Gu Chi never thought that the script would develop in such a way.

If the shadow of the God of Darkness is really gone, the lack of bells would naturally be explained, but this is not necessarily a good thing.

The death of the shadow of the old god will cause the old god to be injured. Maybe the god of darkness is already on his way to kill him...

The good news is that the difficulty of the dungeon has not changed.

Maybe things are not as bad as imagined.

Gu Chi thought about it again and again, and said: "You rest as usual tonight, I will keep watch."

Xia Leng: "Not sleeping all night?"

Gu Chi: "Well, I'll hold you."

He didn't plan to take off his clothes.

If something happened, he would immediately go to find the power 39PY.

"What about me?" Xia Ling said unhappily, "You just hold her?"

Gu Chi asked curiously: "Aren't you sleeping under the bed?"

Xia Ling: "?"

Does this guy really want to make himself hear the noise under the bed?

"Stinky Gu Chi, do you want to be bitten?"

Gu Chi: "..."

He remembered that girls used to say "you want to be beaten".

Xia Leng keenly tasted the details and looked at Xia Ling meaningfully.

It's not that she didn't allow Xia Ling to cheat, but Xia Ling didn't tell her that these were two different concepts.

Xia Ling looked away guiltily, hesitating: "Um, is there a quilt under the bed?"

Gu Chi: "..."

Xia Leng: "..."

Gu Chi teased: "Don't bite me anymore?"

Xia Leng had to control Xia Ling, he could only play auxiliary and occasionally output a wave.

Xia Ling glared at Gu Chi, she would make this guy twitch and beg for mercy when the dungeon was released!

Although Gu Chi was not afraid at all, it was a joke, and it was impossible for Xia Ling to sleep under the bed.

But he really didn't plan to sleep.

In the words of Lemon Dog, how can you sleep if you haven't cleared the dungeon?

His BUFF only lasts for one dungeon. If he can't pass it this time, he will really have to open up the wasteland step by step. It's difficult, but it will take time.

Gu Chi didn't want any accidents to happen, so he had to hug the two sisters and close his eyes to rest.

He didn't mention changing shifts, and Xia Leng didn't mention it either.

On the one hand, Gu Chi would not agree if she mentioned it, and on the other hand, she also enjoyed the feeling of being taken care of by Gu Chi.

It was a small matter. For players, it didn't matter if they didn't sleep for a few days. It didn't affect anything. But in essence, it was Gu Chi who was taking care of her and Xia Ling.

Xia Leng would not be too hypocritical with Gu Chi, nor would she hide her occasional greed and willfulness. After washing up, she gave Gu Chi a goodnight kiss and then slept obediently on his left arm. The right side was for Xia Ling. The details of the cheating would be asked when she got back.

No words were spoken all night.

When he got up the next day.

Gu Chi found that he was not the only one who didn't sleep last night.

Doctor Chen, Youyouzi, Chengcheng, Lingmao, Power 39 and others in the villa didn't sleep.

Most of the players in the square didn't sleep either.

Who dares to sleep!

The bell didn't ring, so they were always worried, fearing that a god would knock it after they fell asleep.

Cheye Nanhuan even organized people to run to the outskirts of the town group overnight, holding binoculars to stare at the west. As soon as they found the death knell, they immediately used the horn to notify everyone to take drugs.

This is really a night of misery.

But until dawn, the bell did not ring.

A large group of people cooked breakfast in the square with dark circles under their eyes, complaining and smoke curling.

"This land reclamation is really torture." Doctor Chen couldn't help complaining.

It was a peaceful night, which means they have been fighting wits and courage with the air.

But they can't help fighting.

If the bell doesn't ring tonight, they still can't sleep.

Who knows if this copy has a mechanism similar to delay and settlement.

"There should be a bell tonight." Gu Chi said.

Yes, it should.

After breakfast, it's time to work.

The plan has changed a little.

Because the death knell has not appeared, Cheye Nanhuan has to leave some people in the border towns to take turns watching, and each group has been reduced from 50 to 40 people.

The 200-man "stalking group" would keep 50 people at a time, and the rest would go to nearby towns to gather information and come to take over at any time, which could barely be considered a "combination of work and rest".

Gu Chi and others were assigned to towns 16-25.

The 40 people briefly introduced themselves to each other and set off from town 1 without wasting much time.

When they arrived at town 16, the townspeople had already gotten up. As soon as they entered the city, they saw many people sweeping the streets with brooms.

"It's a bit strange." Xia Ling whispered, "The last time we entered the city, the ground was obviously very dirty."

It didn't look like anyone was cleaning it at all.

In fact, the ground in town 1 was also very dirty yesterday, but there were so many people that it didn't look so conspicuous.

Gu Chi motioned for everyone to move freely, and he also took Xia Leng and her sister to find an elderly woman, and asked with a smile: "Grandma, why did you suddenly remember to clean up today?"

The old woman was wearing a cotton and linen gauze dress, raised her head, and had a strange expression on her wrinkled face: "Today is the Sand Sweeping Festival, have you forgotten?"

Forgot?

Did they treat them as "their own people"?

Xia Ling's acting came as soon as he said it, and he smiled rather embarrassedly and said: "I'm sorry, grandma, we woke up last night and found that we forgot a lot of things, even our own names, so we asked all the way here, is the Sand Sweeping Festival an important festival?"

After explaining, follow a question, no matter how outrageous the explanation is, the other party's attention will be diverted to the question.

Xia Ling has been with Gu Chi for so long, and he has also learned something.

"Poor kids." The old woman looked at the three amnesiac boys with sympathy, shook her head, sighed softly, and answered while sweeping the floor: "Sand Sweeping Festival is a festival we celebrate once a year. It's not very important, but it's not unimportant either, because we have to sweep the floor."

"Why can't we not sweep it?" Xia Ling asked curiously.

"Because people will turn into sand when they die."

The old woman said: "If too many people die, the sand will accumulate. If we don't clean it regularly, the house will be buried."
