Master Swindler

Chapter 72:

According to this logic, Lu Qingjia could not even be sure for the time being, how many times he has experienced the situation of ignorance after waking up like this.

He adjusted his condition and left the room, and went to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast.

This hotel is of high class and good environment. Lu Qingjia will not treat herself badly unless necessary.

The breakfast is a buffet breakfast with a combination of Chinese and Western, fresh ingredients, and the smell of the fragrance makes one's index finger move.

Lu Qingjia picked something he liked, found a position by the window, and enjoyed it while looking at the surrounding environment.

I found that there are surprisingly few people here.

Not only the interior of the hotel, but also the streets outside.

Apart from Lu Qingjia who was dining in the big restaurant, only one staff member sitting at the bar was busy. It was already past 8 o'clock in the morning. It stands to reason that it was the peak time for breakfast.

This hotel is located in the bustling downtown area, how can it be so deserted.

And looking out of the window, there is no traffic at all in the morning rush hour, the office workers are rushing, and occasionally seeing a few people, it is also strange.

A prosperous city, it looks like an empty city.

However, the corresponding facilities in the city were not hindered. Lu Qingjia went out after breakfast, and it was convenient and unimpeded whatever he did, because he lacked people.

Except for some necessary human service positions, almost no people can be seen.

Looking around, Lu Qingjia found nothing clues, and did not expand the search range.

He believed in himself that if he had expected that he would forget everything when he woke up the next day in advance, he would definitely let himself know the current situation in his current location with the greatest efficiency.

There is no gain in the surroundings, and my previous judgment is undoubtedly that there is not much value here.

Lu Qingjia turned over the ticket in his pocket again and found that there was half an hour left before the departure time.

It stands to reason that the train failed to reach this city, but he appeared here, logically as if he had already passed a checkpoint, and few people would abandon the existing terrain and turn back to the starting point.

But Lu Qingjia was thinking where other players are besides him?

Before entering the advanced dungeon, the possibility of the dungeon serving a single player was almost zero. He stayed in this empty city with no hints and clues, spending time aimlessly, and Lu Qingjia felt that the loss might be fatal.

He can't produce any evidence, but sitting idly here will make him feel an urgent anxiety, indicating that intuition and experience have first realized the urgency of the situation.

Lu Qingjia summoned any door. If he made the same judgment yesterday, he would be prepared as he wanted.

Of course, this can be further confirmed, whether it is really not the first time to wake up from the game world.

Lu Qingjia found the map and determined the departure station of that train. If it was him, he would definitely leave the coordinates on the spot when he noticed something was wrong.

Although I lost the memory of the train's departure and couldn't accurately locate it, the range of this level, plus the long-standing coordinates, should be no problem.

Lu Qingjia printed the coordinates and directions on the map, opened any door, and stepped out.

The next second, he appeared in a toilet cubicle.

When he came out of the toilet, he saw the station hall where people came and went. The stop signs in the hall showed that it was the starting station on his ticket.

Then there is no doubt that he did come to the station as a passenger and boarded the train yesterday. Everything was his personal experience.

At this time, another train is about to depart. The schedule and time are the same as the one he took yesterday. Like this kind of fixed schedule and time train between the two cities, the departure time will be the same every day if there is no accident.

Lu Qingjia quickly glanced at his ticket again, and it turned out that there were only years and months on it, not days.The entry gate is still manual ticket checking.

That is to say, if his ticket has no traces of checking, there is no doubt that it can be mixed into the train.

At this time, there are still twenty minutes before the departure, and it seems that there are still a few minutes to start the ticket checking.

Many people have also started to line up.

Lu Qingjia narrowed his eyes and suddenly had a bold idea.

A mini grenade only the size of a lighter appeared in his hand. He bought it at Infinite Mall. It was not very lethal, but the response was not small.

It can cause a very strong sound and shock, and it is very effective for deterrence. Because Lu Qingjia has enough points, he bought a lot of useful and useless things.

He blasted the mini grenade, and a tremor accompanied by a loud noise occurred in the hall instantly, and even gunpowder was filled for a while.

And a large number of passengers who seemed ordinary and looked hurriedly preparing to board the bus in the lobby, without exception, responded quickly.

Many people even jumped on the ceiling of the hall in the station more than ten meters high, which is not the height that humans can reach.

Even those who are slow to respond can accurately avoid the source of the earthquake and hide behind the bunker. Many of them have various protective shields or protective capabilities.

This proves Lu Qingjia's guess that the proportion of players in the station is almost more than half.

However, before he made the test, he couldn't sense it at all. Not only was there no player's sense, but even his attention was biased.

For example, for a person with different characteristics from the past, the past will be ignored subconsciously.

Ordinary players may not be able to detect this, but Lu Qingjia also possesses mental abilities and is a detailed control, so this sense of contradiction is conspicuous, making him suspicious.

After the shock passed, the people in the station who had reacted to the explosion found it was a false alarm and looked at each other.

The calm and ordinary aura that had been disguised before became wary of the people around him.

There are at least 300 people in the waiting hall visually, and more than half of them have just responded to the riots. If you add some powerful players who are better at disguising, or have accurate predictions of the situation, the number of players will reach 200. Not impossible.

An intermediate copy, is this number of players possible?

Lu Qingjia immediately thought of the incident that Yang Qian told him the other day that the intermediate player was missing.

In fact, when he heard the news brought by Yang Qian, he was not without curiosity, and with Ouyang Bai's blessing, it was very possible to achieve his wish.

But these players are those who are missing?Did they fail the mission or are they stuck here for other reasons?

In short, this time the waiting hall is tense, not suitable for pondering.

Lu Qingjia came to the waiting gate of the bus he was at. At this time, the station broadcasted to inform the train to start ticket checking, and the passengers on the nearby train were almost in line.

If it is a player in the same game as himself, then he must have boarded the same train with him yesterday.

Lu Qingjia successfully reached the end, but the others showed no signs. Combined with so many people stranded at the station, it is not impossible that they were caught in a level of reincarnation lower than themselves.

So Lu Qingjia showed a billboard and an oil-based pen in his hand, and he wrote two lines of words on it with two brushes.

Then came to the staff at the ticket gate just before the ticket check started, and smiled shyly: "I'm sorry, I lost some valuables. Can you lend me a minute?"

The staff was dumbfounded, and before he could react, Lu Qingjia held up a sign to face the passengers at this ticket gate.

The notice of missing objects is written on it, indicating that I lost a Patek Philippe watch at the station XX on X, X, X, X, X, X, and X seconds, 20XX. Please have a good hearted person from there recall whether you saw the watch at that time. Or a suspicious character.

There are not many words written on the whole bulletin board, and it seems logically confusing, but the most striking thing on it is the time accurate to the second.

There were thirty or forty people in line at this ticket gate. With Lu Qingjia's mental power and eyesight, he immediately noticed that some of the passengers' eyes responded to time, and then looked at him in dismay.

Lu Qingjia nodded, and then several people raised their hands: "Speaking of which I did come from over there, it seems to be a bit impressed."

Then he came out of the team logically and gathered with Lu Qingjia.

Lu Qingjia made a thank-you note on his face, but when he gathered with a few people, he pulled out two more ignored passengers from the line.

When the other party wanted to resist and struggle, he whispered: "Shut up, I don't want to take another train that can't reach the end and follow me."

The two were horrified by Lu Qingjia's words, and secondly, they couldn't break away from the other's control. The other party understated the two mid-level players, showing that their strength is far superior to them.

The situation was better than others, so I had to leave with Lu Qingjia.

The rest of the people at the station did not react, and of course they were also sensitive. It was immediately obvious that this was a team of players who were anxious for their companions.

Under the premise that the rules erased the player's perception and there were so many players on the scene, at first some people guessed that this was a super difficult chaos.

But in any case, it was an exaggeration to approach two hundred people, and the time reported by Lu Qingjia made some players who were not so slow to realize that the players here might not come from the same batch.

The evidence is the time it took Lu Qingjia to identify his companions. If there is any way to instantly integrate himself with the players in the same batch in the current situation, it must be the actual entry time.

However, everyone on the scene entered earlier than that time, and a few people have realized that something is wrong.

So after Lu Qingjia and his entourage left, the team saw this situation, and three more players categorically gave up the task and left the line to catch up with Lu Qingjia's team.

"Brother, I seem to have seen it just now."

Lu Qingjia did not refuse. The group left the waiting hall and entered a nearby Starbucks.

Like the previous city, except for the necessary manual services, there are no people around.

However, there are still passengers rushing to the station in a hurry. Although it is incomparable with the actual train station, if you are near the station, it is really difficult to find the world is extremely empty.

The two players who were pulled out by Lu Qingjia were a little anxious: "Why are you pulling us? The game stipulates that you must rush to City A at 4 pm to pick up the next stage of the mission. It is more than a thousand kilometers away from City A, and there is only this one today. The car to City A will be over if we miss the whole group."

But other people who came out with Lu Qingjia voluntarily thought otherwise: "You have also seen the situation just now. Most of the stations are players, and there are probably still players rushing inside."

"I have never seen such a scene. Is there any special situation in this copy?" He said, looking at Lu Qingjia.

Lu Qingjia said: "If it refers to the task of City A, I have already completed it."

Although he does not have any memory now, there is no doubt that Lu Qingjia has already completed the tasks of the same batch of players still trapped in this stage, otherwise he would not appear in City A.

So now it can be determined that even if the players of the same batch, when the completion progress is different, the information they receive is different.

For example, if the other five people failed to reach City A after the train failed yesterday, then that small task will automatically fail, return to the archive point and continue the cycle.

But it stands to reason that Lu Qingjia has completed the task of the previous stage, and then it is time to get a reminder of the task of the next stage.

However, there was no response.

So if you boldly imagine the entire dungeon as the missing dungeon that Yang Qian told him before, this is a place where traps are particularly easy to arrange.

For example, if you want to use the previous task to separate the players, but the trigger conditions for the next task require all players to gather, otherwise it will not be triggered. Then if other players are always trapped in the previous round, Lu Qingjia will wait in City A. Dead, it will not trigger a new task.

However, it is difficult for ordinary people to give up the advantages they have already grasped, especially when there is a competitive relationship between players and players. Even if they find that players of the same group may still be trapped in place, the reaction of most people should be happy to see it succeed and keep themselves ahead. status.

In this way, you have completely fallen into the trap of the rules.

Sure enough, when everyone was surprised by Lu Qingjia's statement, some questioned whether he was telling the truth, and some guessed whether he has the advanced ability of remote transmission, without having to go back and forth by means of transportation, the task order was issued.

[Congratulations to the XX players who passed the interview and got the internship opportunity. Please arrive at the internship location before 10:30 this morning, otherwise the internship qualification will be cancelled.

Then everyone received an address in their minds, of course this was limited to Lu Qingjia's group of players.

At this time, no one doubted that Lu Qingjia had passed the mission. They just thought it was unbelievable. The mission had only been released for less than an hour.

Those two who were wary at the beginning were even more cautious and pleased: "Brother Lu, why did you go back and forth in such a short time?"

The curiosity of everyone is not without reason.

Generally speaking, although intermediate players already have all kinds of abilities, it is still rare to ignore the physical distance of thousands of kilometers.

Like Lu Qingjia's arbitrary gate, it is already a correspondingly powerful ability. It is one of the bottom abilities of the player who was trading with it. Otherwise, it would not be possible to exchange for the qualification of entering the high stage from Lu Qingjia.

But Rao is such an ability, there are also restrictions on its use, such as having to place coordinates in two places, and having a certain understanding of distance and space.

That's why Lu Qingjia bet that he had noticed the clue yesterday and made corresponding preparations-of course, he also has a good habit of hitting coordinates in important places in other dungeons.

Another ability to shorten the distance quickly is teleportation. Lu Qingjia does not have this ability, but he also knows that even if it is teleportation, a player in the intermediate field cannot move to a place where he feels too far, and there is a high probability that there will be a cooling time. In addition, new players have no cognition of the so-called A city, so it is almost impossible to transmit it in one go.

If you continue to move instantaneously, quickly shorten the distance within the line of sight to reach the destination quickly.

To put it plainly, it is not as efficient as Lu Qingjia's super speed of launching a bullet.

Therefore, everyone marveled at Lu Qingjiayuan's extraordinary mobility and the power of similar abilities.

Lu Qingjia glanced at the time: "It's still early before half past ten. That place is half an hour away from our feet. If you haven't eaten, you can have a meal first."

To the three players who followed: "It seems that if you are not in the same group, there is currently no way to form a team."

"I don't know what your task is now, but friendly reminders, it is best to find everyone in your team first. There is no way for the train to reach the end, but at this distance, your team must have the ability of at least one person and can barely meet the regulations. Time arrived."

"But make sure that the other party will come back after arriving in City A, otherwise your group will still be divided and the mission will not be possible."

All that said, with the players' abilities, there should be a way to guarantee Lu Qingjia's progress from tomorrow to the present.

The three players were a little disappointed that they couldn't directly catch the ride, but they all pointed to this and still expressed their thanks.

He also reminded: "By the way, I don't know if your group is like this. When we entered the game, we were told that the players are divided into two groups, which is most likely a competitive relationship."

As soon as these words came out, the players behind Lu Qingjia became nervous.

Lu Qingjia nodded, "I guessed it, but I think, at least for now, this tip is a trap."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a commotion in the waiting hall. An ordinary passenger ran out with a panic face and asked if someone had found the body in the bathroom.

Lu Qingjia smiled sarcastically: "Look, the team of dead people means that someone in the team has completed the task and cannot trigger a new task when they come back. Then the whole team will have to fall into reincarnation until it is dead."

What a sinister intention.

At first, Lu Qingjia hadn't confirmed this way, but this prompt made him sure.

In this so-called dungeon, the important thing has never been the mission. At least so far, the content of the mission is really irrelevant. On the contrary, everything serves to prevent the player from passing the level.

Of course, the same is true for other copies, there is no difficulty in doing the task.But here is obviously different, with the malicious intention of playing with people's hearts and deliberately obstructing, instead of focusing on improving the player.

So Lu Qingjia said frankly: "Don't worry, even if you follow the instructions of the rules, you can first kill the so-called'opposing' players to earn points, and they will be cleared the next day."

"Correspondingly, the killed player will still be resurrected after the refresh, instead of confirming that the death has left the game."

"There is an existence in this dungeon, but I can't bear to let any player go."

Several people were confused, but one of them was well-informed, but he had some guesses.

He tentatively asked: "The legendary player disappearance? After entering the game, he disappeared. Will there be people or dead bodies?"

"You mean this is the copy?"

Lu Qingjia nodded: "80%, right?"

Then the player informed everyone about the recent rumors. For the most part, players who were experienced in clearing the game, couldn't help but feel at a loss for this dungeon.

After all, before Lu Qingjia came back, they didn't even know that this was not the first time to ride a train.

Someone said with hope: "Even if we are trapped in Samsara, or pass this level by chance, and fall into the next trap, we will not be able to pass the level, but according to the rules of the game, no matter how long we stay in the dungeon, as long as the dungeon is broken, You can always return to reality, right?"

"Why didn't the player return to reality after two seconds? Even the corpse? Why did it disappear?"

Lu Qingjia raised his chin at the ticket booth: "I think that should be the reason."

The ticket gate of this station is at the entrance, and there are three windows for simultaneous service.

However, you don’t need cash or mobile phone to pay for a ticket, and it’s not a credit card, but a fingerprint.

Several players, who seemed at a loss, bought tickets under the guidance of the conductor.

But after everyone buys the ticket, the machine will announce-

"Remaining number of ticket purchases: 6 times."

"Remaining number of ticket purchases: 4 times."

"Remaining ticket purchases: 5 times."

"Remaining number of ticket purchases: 2 times."

Lu Qingjia said: "I should have noticed this yesterday. I selected passengers with zero remaining ticket purchases, followed them, entered the same car with them, had a conversation, confirmed their players' identities, and then went on the railway. What happened when the train stopped when the breakdown occurred."

That's why I specifically left the traces of my embarrassment, and ensured that no information was available around him, drove me back to the station, joined the same group of players, and then proceeded to the next task.

"How do you know?" A player asked cautiously: "You have recovered your memory? But we have not yet."

Lu Qingjia shook his head: "Not yet."

Then he smiled and said, "But don't you think this situation is too worrying?"

It is absolutely impossible to leave it alone if he cares.

Regarding the fact that he can keep his traces after waking up in City A, if returning to the save point is only to clear the memory and not clear the traces of the players, then it is impossible for so many players to be trapped in this round of delay. It is too late to proceed to the next step.

After all, being able to go to the mid-level field, there are few brainless, it is possible to miss other details, but the changes in your body, which are related to your wealth and life, will definitely be vigilant.

Therefore, when clearing, it should be restored to a certain node along with the traces on the body.

But yesterday I managed to leave so many clues. If you can get rewards to keep your traces in the next round, then sealing your memory becomes unnecessary.

So Lu Qingjia guessed that, in fact, this dungeon wanted to completely make all players unaware of the clues, but even a horror game must abide by the rules and cannot give players a dead end that cannot be cracked within their abilities.

Then it must be the same here, not that it doesn't want to, it can't.

It must set up a node, and yesterday's eight achievements are the key to grasping, so it can be retained.

For example-before entering the so-called interview office.

After getting this guess, a reminder sounded in Lu Qingjia's mind [Unlock the key clues, unlock the memory.

Then Lu Qingjia had a memory in his mind, about yesterday.

Similar to what he had guessed, he noticed the remaining number of tickets purchased by each passenger, and he was curious what would happen after the remaining number was cleared.

So I followed the two passengers whose times were cleared, chatted with them along the way, and quickly confirmed that the two were players.

With Lu Qingjia's strong emotional intelligence, it is very simple to build a good relationship with others. After that, the two sides exchanged phone numbers and V signals to keep in touch.

After waiting for the train to go out for an hour, it encountered a railroad failure. At first, it broadcasted that it would be able to depart in half an hour.

However, half an hour later, the time was extended to one hour.

Quite a bit of time delay.

Lu Qingjia categorically jumped out of the moving car and ran to City A at full speed, completing the task.

Before entering the interview office, when the task time was ten minutes left, Lu Qingjia made a video call to the two cleared players.

Watching the reaction of the two of them with my own eyes, from the beginning the player's incredible ability of the player became at a loss, and then he made a fuss about his performance in City A.

It seemed that he had completely forgotten his identity as a player and became an ordinary person.

At the same time, Lu Qingjia was reminded by the company's employees to pay attention to his appearance, otherwise it is likely to give the interviewer a bad impression and make the next work process difficult.

Lu Qingjia seemed to understand what the number of ticket purchases represented, and why players disappeared in the game.

The players on the train did not give any hints, but there were still people who had been on the train for many times and could not be noticed, but someone on their side could remind.

Perhaps after he successfully came to City A, in addition to being able to continue the next task, the greatest significance lies here.

So Lu Qingjia stood up and smiled at the staff: "Thank you for reminding, but I think my embarrassment now is a badge of hard work for this job."

"Just take the interview."

After finishing speaking, I saw the distorted look of the staff with sweet smiles for a moment.
