Chapter 238 Lost Items

After becoming a ghost, it will be difficult to earn points, but Qi Si does not intend to save on props.

Among the effects of [Undead], "injury cannot be healed" is very troublesome from any angle, which forced him to start thinking about some problems:

For example, how can we avoid getting injured in the dungeon as much as possible?

For example, can we find a way to ensure that the blood does not run out in the dungeon?

The existing prop reserves are undoubtedly not sufficient for the endless crises.

[Cursed Pendulum] makes Qi Si's actions in the "Frog Hospital" dungeon more comfortable, and he finally realized the convenience brought by force-

First, it can make others listen to him calmly; second, it can save the trouble of speaking in many cases.

The cost-effectiveness of purchasing props is further improved in Qi Si's eyes.

If you can't even protect yourself, even killing someone will take great pains, and it is undoubtedly a fantasy to want to live to accumulate one million points.

Qis entered the mall and called out several props that he had previously collected and intended to buy.

The icon of [Water Mirror Mask] turned gray. I don’t know if it was bought by another player, or the seller didn’t renew the subscription after the display period expired.

But it didn’t matter. He already had [Human Skin Mask].

[Human Skin Mask] was better than [Water Mirror Mask] in all aspects. He didn’t need to give up the superiority for the inferior.

Qi Si’s eyes fell on another item.

[Name: Paper Cutter for Self-mutilators]

[Effect: No matter what kind of wound is caused, the injured person will not lose consciousness or really die]

[Note: Its original owner sank into great despair, but ultimately lacked the courage to achieve final liberation, and could only use self-harm to release the pain]

[Price: 150,000 points]

Qi Si paid attention to this item before, just because he thought it was very suitable for torture; but now, Qi Si was very curious about how high the priority of the causal effect of this item was.

“Can I try this item?” Qi Si asked Weird Game.

[After the transaction is completed, you can try it in the game space at any time]

The established rules cannot be changed, and it is useless to talk too much, and Qi Si does not intend to bargain.

For formal players, it is not difficult to get 16,000 points in a short period of time. There are various ways to get the amount, such as selling props at a low price, investing in a live broadcast room, and then downloading a copy.

Of course, for Qi Si, who controls several tool people and a leek pool like Qijia Village, the above methods are too troublesome.

The golden vine on the right side of the high-back chair pressed down the branches and handed the golden fruits hanging on the top to Qi Si.

Qis raised his hand and held it, sinking his consciousness into it, and unfolding the picture of Qijia Village in front of him.

After the third copy, most of the villagers died again, and only five people survived.

A sixty-year-old couple, a lonely middle-aged woman, a bad boy, and a little boy about ten years old.

They all became official players. Qisi could see the shadows of their respective game spaces above their heads. Some were simple country houses, some were full of game halls, and some were castles full of fantasy colors.

Because Qisi had intervened in advance through [Anchor Point] and [Fruit of the World], their game spaces could not be connected to the Ruins of Sunset, nor did they have functions such as shopping malls and live broadcasts, and they would not be out of Qisi's control.

The points they earned were stored in [Fruit of the World], a total of 12,000 points, waiting for Qisi to redistribute.

After Qisi took them all, he gave them a few scarlet points at a ratio of 600 to 1.

He deliberately reduced the rewards given for clearing the dungeon and strengthened the role of real tasks.

He knew the strength of these villagers very well. In the official pool, they were destined to be live targets and consumables. The value that a single person could bring was limited, and they could only win by quantity.

Instead of encouraging them to risk their lives to enter more dungeons, it is better to accumulate points slowly and steadily at a frequency of once every seven days.

Another more obscure reason is that the weird game is the territory that the big guild has cultivated for many years. If you want to do things under the rules of others, you must make a big concession.

Qi Si knows that he lacks accumulation. The risk and gain of competing with the intricate forces in the game are not proportional. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.

It is better to use his unique ability to extradite weirdness to reality and develop his own power in reality where few people are capable of getting involved.

There are still four thousand points left, and Qi Si habitually raised his hand to touch the new leaf on the vine.

That leaf belongs to Lin Chen. It is ominous scarlet, held by a blood-colored branch, hanging from the right side, and out of place in a pile of gold.

Maybe it is because the name of the god recited when signing the contract is different, so it is distinguished from other soul leaves by color.

If the soul leaves harvested before have the risk of being interfered with by the contract, then Lin Chen’s soul leaf belongs to Qi Si completely.

The god he believed in and prayed to was Qisi from beginning to end, whether it was the young man who helped him survive to the end in "Rose Manor" or the false god who reshaped the name of God with the help of the villagers of Qijia Village after obtaining the [Scarlet Priest] card.

After the scarlet leaves were touched, the settlement interface of "Frog Hospital" popped up.

["Frog Hospital" evaluation level A, bonus points 3000]

["Frog Hospital" True End line clearance, bonus points 5000]

[Unlock the dual world lines of "Frog Hospital", 5000 bonus points]

[80% cracking of world view, 3000 bonus points]

[Unlock the achievement "Lucky Man" (make the right choice with good luck at the critical moment), 1000 bonus points]

[Unlock the achievement "Executor" (successfully execute most of the clearance steps and complete the ending), 1000 bonus points]

[Total bonus points 18000]

Qisi withdrew his hand and touched other leaves.

He did not intend to let Lin Chen realize the harshness of the soul contract for the time being, so he naturally could not touch the latter's points.

Most people are lazy. As long as the obvious facts have not happened, their minds will be content with false peace, and they will not be able to touch the hidden dangers and secrets behind them.

Qisi is also happy to whitewash the peace for the recyclable tool man. Some means can only play the greatest value when they are not used, and even unexpectedly reverse the situation at a critical moment.

Except for Lin Chen, Dong Zixi, Liu Yuhan and Zhang Yiyu have all had their points harvested before and can be disposed of at will.

Among them, Zhang Yiyu has become a useless chess piece and is locked in a holding room by the Weird Investigation Bureau. It is unknown when she can enter the dungeon again, so it is not considered for the moment.

Liu Yuhan is quite diligent in entering the dungeon, and there are only 85 dungeons left to complete the contract requirements.

In the latest dungeon, she teamed up with a member of the Jiuzhou Guild to enter. The two of them talked and laughed - it seems that she has gained the trust of Jiuzhou.

Dong Zixi's frequency of entering the dungeon has decreased. In the past few days, she has only passed one dungeon. I don’t know if it’s because the points can’t be obtained, and her enthusiasm has been hit.

In order to prevent the tool people from using up the points as soon as they get them, Qi Si deliberately made a setting to aggregate the points they get into the points pool and distribute them after the redistribution is completed.

At this moment, Qi Si took 30% of the points from their points pools and threw the remaining points back to their respective accounts.

Everything is done by hand and operated manually. It seems okay at present. When there are more soul leaves in hand in the future, the handling of various affairs will become delayed and troublesome.

Fortunately, after the Sea God Scepter absorbed a lot of sins, Qis's control over the game space and anchor points was further strengthened, and he was able to make some more complex settings.

In layman's terms, it means that he can make rules that are effective in a small range.

He wrote a rule in [Fruit of the World] [Directly deposit points into the account and convert them into scarlet points at an exchange rate of 600 to 1], and compiled the entry of [Automatically extract 30% points] in the soul leaves of Liu Yuhan and others, which can be regarded as barely completing automation.

Next, as long as he leaves the Sea God Scepter in the game space, some basic operations can be automatically operated according to the rules he set.

Qis bought [Paper Cutter for Self-mutilation], and there were 23,000 points left in his account, which was not rich, but not tight.

He entered the second page of the mall and bought a pair of white long gloves and a can of sugar.

The former is to take into account the characteristics of ghosts and avoid the embarrassing situation of shaking hands with people and ending up with a black skin; the latter is to round up.

Qi Si looked at the number [22900] displayed in the account and was quite satisfied.

There was still some time left, so he simply picked up the Sea God's Scepter again and let his consciousness disperse to a more distant place through the scepter as a medium.

The gray fog was surging with faint gold and red. The high priest who led the disaster held up the black cross and looked at the distant starry sky with his scarlet eyes.

In the deep darkness of the thought hall, the blood-red eyes seemed to be connected into a line, and there were some crimson stars flickering at the end of the connection.

Qi Si knew that those were the people affected by the [Insomnia Germ] he spread.

Thousands of infected people lurked among ordinary people and passed the germs through contact.

In just a few days, the impact of the new weirdness on reality far exceeded the scale of Qijia Village.

Qi Si noticed that some of the stars were dim, some were glittering, and some were large and small, and unevenly distributed.

At the moment when the doubts took shape, a language that did not belong to any world told him the reason-

Different physiques have different affinities for weirdness.

The more suitable a person is for weird games, the brighter and larger the corresponding stars will be; conversely, the stars will be as small as moss.

Similarly, the order of infection also plays a significant role.

The [Insomnia Bacteria] from the weird game cannot reproduce naturally in reality. The later it is, the fewer bacteria will be distributed to each person, and the weaker the effect will be.

There may even be a day when all the bacteria are consumed, so that the number of infected people stops growing.

Qi Si was not surprised by this.

The weird invasion of reality must be subject to some restrictions. If it can expand its territory endlessly, the real world should have turned into a ghostland thirty-six years ago.

At present, the number of people infected by the bacteria is as high as 10,000, and Qi Si is quite satisfied with this.

He selected the 100 people with the brightest stars, controlled the golden vines to extend the tentacles of the strange game to them, and repeated exactly what he said when he pulled the villagers into the game a week ago.

Faced with the threat of death, those people had no reason to refuse.

What's more, most of them were people from Eagle County who loved to die, and they might even think they had encountered an adventure that belonged to the protagonist.

[The stay time has been exhausted, and more time can be exchanged for points]

【Do you want to spend 100 points to redeem 1 hour of stay? 】

Qisi put down the Poseidon Scepter and said calmly: "Quit the game."

…

"Sunday is Gloomy, My hours are slumberless..."

The ringtone of Qiqi Aiai's phone rang in my ears, which seemed distorted in the darkness that had not yet dissipated, like a butterfly that could not be caught in a dream, erratic and illusory.

Qisi listened for a while, then reluctantly opened his eyes and stared at the white ceiling in a daze.

He put his hand on his forehead. The touch was not stiff and cold like a corpse as he imagined, but had a soft residual warmth. If you look carefully, you can feel the weak pulsation of blood vessels.

In reality, he looks like a genuine human being on the surface, at least that's how he feels.

There is no doubt that Weird Games has put a lot of effort into disguise. As long as he doesn't post idle posts like Zhang Yiyu, he probably won't be noticed by the Weird Investigation Bureau.

By analogy, there are probably a lot of ghosts lurking in the crowd. Those who remain silent, try their best to hide themselves, and some clever ones should have made a lot of infiltrations in the past thirty-six years...

The palace of thought was dark, and no corresponding picture emerged during the expansion of thought. Qisi looked at a small corner of the blue sky outside the window. The color was as light as colored pencils soaked in water.

The phone has stopped ringing.

Zeis climbed out of bed, walked out of the bedroom, and looked around in the living room.

He saw the colorful bookcases dripping down like water-splashed oil paintings, and the spilled colors leaked through his fingers like water in an unstoppable trend, together with the black, white and gray philosophy books and serious works. Gives the texture of old photos.

The whole world was fading, no, to be precise, the world in his vision was fading.

Everything seems to have been reduced in transparency, revealing a light color that has been fogged by natural wear and tear. The remaining colors hang listlessly in all directions of the field of vision, and only memory can fill in the bright original appearance.

And soon, even the color in the memory began to be lost, and the palace of thinking was as dark and dull as ever, as if he had returned to the monotonous world before he was twelve years old.

Zeis now knows another negative effect of becoming a ghost——

He lost the perception of the world that he had finally gained after his first murder.

Feelings of sadness or joy and ups and downs of moods disappeared with the disappearance of the color. The feelings that were once easily accessible were isolated by an insurmountable barrier, causing him to fall into total silence and silence again, feeling out of place and living alone.

"The negative effects in the game don't seem to be as serious as in reality."

Qisi remembered that in the copy, although the various colors tended to fade, they did not give him such an abrupt and uncomfortable look, otherwise he would not have realized something was wrong after returning to reality.

"Is this a commercial fraud to trick me into accepting the identity of a ghost? Or... are you trying to force me to increase the frequency of entering dungeons?"

Zeiss shook his head without any particular emotion.

He returned to the room, picked up the cell phone beside his pillow, and looked at the missed calls.

It was an unfamiliar number, but it was not completely unfamiliar. After he told Lin Chen his contact information later in the copy, Lin Chen also told him his contact information.

He therefore knew that this was Lin Chen's phone number.

It seemed that Lin Chen called him as soon as the copy came out, probably to confirm his safety.

After all, in the later stage of the dungeon, he didn't have any good flesh on his body, and he looked like he was going to die at any time.

The call was not connected at the moment, and I didn't know how anxious Lin Chen was.

Qisi conveniently saved the phone number in the contact page, noted the name, and called back.

"Hey, is this Lin Chen?"

"I'm fine. I just felt a little dizzy when I first came back to reality. I have no strength in my hands and feet and can't pick up the phone."

"You don't have to worry about me... By the way, are you free tomorrow afternoon? Let's meet at Sunset Ruins."

…

Jiangcheng University, male dormitory building.

Lin Chen hung up the phone, opened the door and returned to the dormitory, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

In the later stage of the dungeon, although he took a risk and used the effect of [Doctor Beak] to resurrect Ziss, looking at Ziss's poor state at the time, he always felt that things were not that simple.

In order to help him get rid of the control of the puppet master, Qisi risked the consequences of transforming into a ghost and activated his fourth skill.

If something happened to Qisi, he might never be able to forgive himself in this life.

Fortunately, he was overthinking it and the worst-case scenario did not happen. Chiss is still alive and well...

"Lin Chen, who are you calling?"

The roommate lowered his head from the upper bunk and teased with a playful smile.

"You almost cried when you couldn't get through. When they called you, you laughed so happily that you can't hold your lips back now... Don't you want to talk about girls behind our backs?"

Only then did Lin Chen realize that he was too happy.

He adjusted his expression in a second and explained softly: "Don't guess, it's a man."

"Tch, I don't believe it, man, why are you so attentive?"

Lin Chen didn't say anything, picked up his phone and entered the game forum, and diligently posted posts.

Tomorrow he was going to meet with Qisi at the Ruins of the Sunset. He had to know the various landmarks of the Ruins of the Sunset beforehand so as not to wander around like a headless fly.

The roommate paused for a while, then regained his energy and climbed out of bed in a few steps, approaching Lin Chen: "So who is it?

"Fraud is rampant again recently. Don't run into a liar or get cheated by him..."

"He's not a liar." Lin Chen shook his head seriously.

He turned off the screen of his mobile phone, looked up at his roommate, and said seriously: "He is a person who has helped me a lot and saved my life..."

"Friend."
