Master Swindler

Chapter 80:

The silver watches are the same size as a palm, and each one is about the same length. Hundreds of them hang from the sky, and the joint is a golden thread.

The silk thread came down from the sky and passed through the clouds. With the eyesight of the two, even Lu Qingjia's clairvoyance could not see the end.

The richest man picked up one of the watches at will, frowned and looked for a long while: "Some are still going, some are stopped, but the distribution is not regular."

Looked and compared the silver watch body and back: "There is no obvious mark either."

Lu Qingjia said: "How could it not be possible."

He pulled several watches over at the same time: "Look at the time on the dial at three o'clock."

The date is usually displayed here, but in these silver watches there is only a small square with the size of a small rice grain, and the number "7" is displayed on it, so strictly speaking, there is no difference.

Lu Qingjia said: "The number 7 reminds you of this world?"

The richest man suddenly realized: "Is this the number of ticket purchases?"

He quickly got dozens of them right at once: "Because we adjusted everyone's ticket purchases back to seven this morning, so the above display is all seven?"

After finishing talking about the richest man hesitated: "Is it a bit far-fetched to guess? After all, we can't find evidence to prove it.

"Why not?" Lu Qingjia smiled: "I asked the players to restore the initial number of players, stranded players, and NPC players."

"It seems that although the NPCs have not been able to recover their memories and abilities, they still perform in some places."

"The evidence is—" Lu Qingjia's eyes passed through thousands of silver watches, and he reached out and pulled a silver watch hidden in a corner.

The number shown above is different from many silver watches, it is a number '6'.

Lu Qingjia said to the richest man: "You should also look for you. At that time, I didn't let anyone adjust your frequency."

"Why?" While searching, the richest man asked Lu Qingjia's intentions: "You can't guess that this happened then?"

Lu Qingjia said: "How is it possible? After the station collapses, I can determine the problem with the watch factory."

"It's just me. There are too few samples. It's not that there is no coincidence, but if you add you, the probability is low. Besides, I can't confirm the risk of returning the number of times."

The richest man felt sour after hearing this: "So everyone, including your teammates, was pushed out by you to be a guinea pig?"

Lu Qingjia smiled: "I wasn't someone who could really trust my back. Of course, it would be risky to take my ride."

The richest man did not expect that he would admit it so happily. He was silent for a while, and finally smiled: "Yes, you really don't look like a trusted player who can develop mutual trust with others."

"But at the same time, it's not a guy who abandons others for profit, or a person who pushes his teammates out of the knife when a crisis comes."

The richest man looked at Lu Qingjia and smiled: "Although my customs clearance style is not as sophisticated as yours, but it drags the blessing of the family environment, it is still good to see.

"People like you, although they lack moral restraint, have their own arrogance and behavioral aesthetics."

"If you let yourself do cowardly and ugly behavior, it will be worse than killing you."

Without waiting for Lu Qingjia to answer, he pulled out a silver watch in one place: "Look, I found it."

He pointed to the number above, showing that there was only "1", which was the number left by the richest man who had cleared the customs to the last level.

"If these silver watches represent all players, then these watches will have a trace to go or stop."

Lu Qingjia said: "For example, it shows '7' above, but it has been stopped. It should be the player who has become an NPC."

"Other watches seem to be operating normally, but if they really represent players, then the stranded players are definitely different from ordinary players."

Lu Qingjia took out two silver watches casually, and suddenly had more tools in his hand.

The richest man quickly said: "What are you doing?"

Lu Qingjia took it for granted: "Of course it is to take a look at it. Have you heard of any watch that cannot be taken apart?"

He smiled and said, "A man who has never taken apart his watch, toy, or electrical appliance, what is his life complete?"

Richest man: "..."

It was so reasonable that he was speechless for a while.

I could only watch Lu Qingjia use a very delicate tool to unscrew the sesame-like screws on the silver watch.

The first one didn't find any abnormalities, and he let the guy go back, the second and the third, and finally found the difference in the fourth.

"Look!" Lu Qingjia handed him the watch.

The richest man looked inside and saw that the inside of the silver watch had been entangled with golden threads. Although the surface was rotating normally, the threads connected to the sky. As long as the other party wanted it, the hands hidden behind the manipulating everything could be controlled instantly.

Lu Qingjia said: "Then the question is, the two of us are ordinary players and stranded players. There are samples of exactly two camps. Do you want to take a look at the final confirmation?"

The richest man gritted his teeth: "Demolition!"

After that, the two quickly took apart their own silver watch. Sure enough, as an ordinary player, Lu Qingjia's internal structure was normal, and the gold thread was only for connection.

And the inside of the richest man's watch looks good, the gold thread entangled, as if representing his situation more controlled than he thought, which made him feel angry and ashamed.

Lu Qingjia said: "Now I finally understand why in the past three years, there has never been a player who has accumulated enough points in exchange for the opportunity to return to reality."

"Because if your time is not what you think, it has been free from the constraints of refreshing the rules of the game and clearing the memory, then it will be easy to explain."

"The stranded players seem to have escaped from the curse of repeated amnesia, but they are also completely in the hands of an existence. They are different from normal players every day, and the days with smooth memories make them lose their vigilance."

"But in fact, it will only be controlled more precisely. Like ordinary players, it will only be limited by the rules, because as long as the number of times has not been used up, it will not be considered a mission failure, and that existence is not qualified to control like a puppet. Players."

"But the stranded players are different. It has all-round control over you. It is more precise and flawless and does not even need to follow any rules for balance. It does whatever it wants, and I even doubt that it can edit your memories directly."

"So so many people have been unable to complete their performance." The richest man took the message and sneered: "I couldn't believe in that thing early in the morning, so I never expected to leave through performance. It seems that I saved myself once."

The two of them put away their own silver watch, but the richest man is more troublesome and needs to remove the entangled gold thread.

The gold thread was also tricky. The silver watch was originally small, and the mechanical parts inside must be more mini. The gold thread was entangled and knotted around. When the richest man wanted to untie it, he found it moved flexibly.

"This, is it to warn me that unless I want to destroy my watch, I don't want to leave?" The richest man said in a gloomy tone.

"It doesn't need to be." Lu Qingjia's hair suddenly grew longer, got into the watch, wrestled with the gold thread, and protected the silver watch parts by the way.

Before they pulled the watch easily from the gold thread, it showed that the toughness of the gold thread was not very strong. Although it was more than enough to destroy the richest man’s silver watch, it was still vulnerable to Lu Qingjia’s hair. .

After all, Lu Qingjia's hair can split the existence of the steel pipe in the first game. By now, there are few opponents in the mid-level court in terms of toughness and sharpness.

Although the effect of gold thread is terrifying, it is not powerful at this level.

After taking off the watch, Lu Qingjia received a message from a female player in the same team saying that they had arrived, but did not see Lu Qingjia and the others.

When Lu Qingjia and the richest man came out of the space, they saw several people appear outside.

He said to them: "Come here."

Several people stepped on the gear wheel blankly. When Lu Qingjia bought the train company, he got the ticketing system on his mobile phone.

At this time, you can easily and freely control, and you can buy tickets for your team of players.

A lot of ticket purchase opportunities were wasted, but the numbers on the silver watch of the players became 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2 respectively.

Several people took off the silver watch smoothly, and a reminder that the customs clearance conditions were fulfilled rang in their minds.

[213 Player group clearance conditions are reached, please go to the boarding exit as soon as possible, time is limited, please go to the boarding exit as soon as possible.

Before the system's voice was heard, a small door with a height of one person appeared out of thin air not far away. It stood in the air, and there was no difference from behind the door, as if the door was just a decoration.

But the door slowly opened, and looking at it from the front, it was another space.

Then it shows a three-minute countdown.

A few players didn't expect it to enter the third day of the game. The seemingly trapped and difficult game has reached the clearance point, and they can even log out immediately, with a happy face.

Busily said: "Brother Lu, let's go in quickly."

Lu Qingjia smiled, "What's the hurry? I still have something to do."

A few people were dumbfounded, and today they still can't keep up with the other's brain circuits.

A male player who has had enough here panicked and said, "Why don't you worry, it only takes three minutes-oh, dozens of seconds have passed since the speech."

Lu Qingjia sneered: "If you want to stay, stay, if you want me to go, I'll go?"

This, why is this still on the bar?Everyone was speechless.

But the richest man has a tacit understanding with Lu Qingjia in the past two days, but he understands.

He also sneered: "That's it, it seems that this space really has a lot of treasure to dig."

Lu Qingjia nodded and said to the other five people: "Don't worry, the so-called trigger logout condition is just to remove a few watches. These watches only represent us. It is not that the entire space and even the game copy will collapse. Now, let’s set a countdown for a fart, it’s only three minutes."

Speaking and loudly facing the existence in the air: "I have said you, without the flexibility to respond to unexpected situations, why are you still so mentally retarded? The more anxious you want to send me away, the more proof that you can't withstand exploration. ?"

After listening to his words, several players are not in a hurry.

After all, this customs clearance was too wild, and they ended before they were ready. To be honest, trusting their own judgment is really not as good as trusting the boss, and the richest man also said the same.

So everyone ignored the countdown to the door. As expected, after three minutes, the countdown disappeared and the door was not closed. Obviously, the chicken thief wanted to trick them into not staying too much in the space.

"What's in here?" someone asked.

Except for hundreds of silver watches hanging in the air, this silver watch space has nothing around it. It is completely white, as if you can't see the boundary. If you want to find something, this area is so big for all seven of them. It's not easy.

It is more likely that something unexpected happened because of the dispersion.

But Lu Qingjia didn't think so. He smiled: "There is a saying that I have been emphasizing since the beginning of the task. Have you forgotten?"

A few players were unable to pick out the most important thing for a while because of his excessive manipulation.

But the richest man immediately reacted: "In this world, the more restrictions you set, the more you want, you must trade equal or even higher chips."

"Since he can specify such trivial and strict rules, correspondingly, players can also easily get the chips it bet on."

"Positive solution!" Lu Qingjia said: "A person who focuses on keeping players, the rules are more trivial and strict than any dungeon, and where it is beneficial to the system, there is no chance to limit the heavy treasure to the difficult acquisition conditions. It can only hide."

"And this hidden, you can't use abilities or props beyond the level of intermediate players."

It is said that Lu Qingjia's shoulder-mounted rocket launcher appeared in his hand, and it was a shot in the air.

Unexpectedly, he was so reckless, looking at the sky blankly.

They discovered that the sky in this space was far from the heights they imagined, and it shattered with a blow.

"Holographic projection?"

Everyone looked at the exposed ceiling. Although the area of ​​this space is not small, but the height is only less than ten meters, the fake sky disappears, and the true content is exposed.

"No, this thing is much smarter than holographic projection." The richest man said: "After all, I am also good at space ability. If it is only technological means, the scope and height of the room are already in my grasp."

Layers of ice appeared under Lu Qingjia's feet, spreading directly upward, supporting him to the ceiling.

In the center above, there is a golden pocket watch.

Those gold threads all spread out from this pocket watch. Watching this copy desperately leave the player's posture and the ambition of trying to create a complete sub-world here, if all is controlled by this golden pocket watch, then it will The number that can be controlled is just the beginning.

Lu Qingjia took off his pocket watch. Before he touched his hand, he suddenly felt a terrifying killing intent.

The killing intent seemed to be condensed into an entity, slashing Lu Qingjia thousands of times, and even the richest man below and several other players deeply felt the pressure.

The pressure brought by the western dragon who faced the higher world before was even worse. It made people directly chill in the back, the hair was counted down all over, the blood pooled under the feet, and they almost fleeed.

Two of the players did the same, and their subconscious reaction made them jump into the door directly.

But Lu Qingjia seemed to be unaware of the killing, and instead smiled: "Don't be so ugly. You are only allowed to take advantage of you and you can't lose money?"

"Since you want to bet, of course you have to plan to lose everything-oh no, you haven't lost yet, so don't be so stingy."

He took off the golden pocket watch without hesitation.

The pocket watch touched Lu Qingjia's body, then disappeared and merged directly into his body.

It turned out that it wasn't a prop, it was just an ability that was pulled out and expressed in the form of props.

The moment Lu Qingjia received it, he knew what the nature of this ability was, and for a while had to admire the European spirit that Ouyang Bai gave him.

It is worthy of the blessing of the emperor.

Lu Qingjia removed the frost and landed on the flat surface. When the people around saw it, they all knew that he had found the treasure, which seemed terrible, otherwise the controller of this instance would not be killed.

"You won't be okay? After all, that—" A player had a scalp tingling when he recalled the killing intent just now.

Lu Qingjia said: "I hope it will shoot me in person regardless of the rules."

Everyone also relaxed a little when they heard the words, always felt that as long as the existence was not coming in person, then Lu Qingjia himself could deal with all the problems arising from this level.

Although he was a little bit sour about the treasure he found, there was no way. Guan was brought by others. The treasure was found by others. It has almost nothing to do with the people around them. On the contrary, they just took the thigh and took a ride. Those who have no face to say what they see have a share.

With this idea in mind, it's still happy for now.

Lu Qingjia said: "Let's go, it's time to log out of the game."

The key gold watch that controls the player and the entire dungeon has been obtained. If he successfully logs out of the game, this dungeon will be broken.

Other stranded players will return to reality, but they don't know how to deal with NPC.

Several people crossed the door and entered a stone room made of stones. The moment the seven people stepped in, the door closed.

Instead, at the other end of the stone room, a door reappeared, and the scenes outside the door changed and it was clearly reality.

Some players are already impatient to see this.

The richest man also said: "Yes, the final point of our team was here."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Qingjia in front suddenly appeared behind a bubble cover, and then a puddle of mud covered it.

Because the richest man suffered a loss here, he became vigilant the moment he entered, but others were not.

There were two people who didn't react quickly enough to avoid them, and their heads and faces were filled with mud in an instant.

It turned out that there was a player behind Lu Qingjia, swinging and slashing in his hand. Originally, he was empty.

But after being poured by the silt, there was nothing to hide, only to find that he was holding a big sword in his hand.

Before that, the sword was colorless and invisible. It was a sneak attack weapon, but it was lightly guarded by Lu Qingjia.

Lu Qingjia smiled: "Forget that you don't have the memory of yesterday. What you know now is all told by me, not by yourself, so the memory has not been unlocked. Of course, I don't know that I have a strong defense ability."

The player looked ugly, and shouted at the people around him: "What are you doing in a daze? Let's go together, the game will be cleared, and the good people will have a share. Why is this guy monopolizing without making a sound?"

The richest man can’t talk about it: “You’re fucking crazy, are you? What is your use? Are there any good things that matter to you?”

The other party grinned: "Hey! We are not as generous as the richest man. The richest man has a big business. Naturally, I don't like these. But buddies are fighting for their lives to pass the customs, but I will never let them go where I am."

These words made the surrounding players a little shaken, but the female player who could sit the most.

She frowned, "Enough. Although everyone is greedy for the treasure, Brother Lu has it. It's human nature for you to be jealous this time, but if you have a conscience, give me the idea that you shouldn't have."

"If it weren't for Brother Lu, we wouldn't necessarily be still spinning around at the station now. How many people can discover the secret of refreshing. It will be sooner or later that the five of us become NPCs?"

A male player heard the words and laughed and said, "Brother Lu is indeed very attractive. How long will it take? It's a woman's heartbreak."

Then he said to the female player: "You women still have to rely on the score to clear the customs. Don't see a man with soft legs and can't wait to post up. It's your business if you are willing to give up. Why do you care about us?"

The female player was distorted with anger: "What the hell are you farting? Before you spray the dung, please also see if the level of the old lady is higher than you, so you dare to point me to the level?"

For a while, the swords in the stone chamber were tense, the previous happiness collapsed instantly.

The richest man frowned and sneered: "It seems that this room is a wicked one. Whether it is normal customs clearance or shortcuts, no matter how good the external relationship is, it is time to question each other and tear off the disguise."

Lu Qingjia said: "You don't have to doubt it. There is a ban on amplifying people's negative emotions, and you must have guessed it."

"But you can relax. You think you are not affected, but in theory, no one can be spared."

"You should be ashamed of your teammates and those present, and even want to kill everyone, right?"

The richest man was shocked and quickly stabilized his mind. He is strong and of course highly antagonistic. After being reminded by Lu Qingjia, he knew how to suppress it.

There are five players left, the female player and the other player with stronger mental power. After hearing these words, they began to reflect, and tried to calm their emotions, and not be led by paranoia, desire, anger and jealousy.

But the resistance of the remaining three is not so strong.

In Lu Qingjia's opinion, it is not a problem, so he said: "Okay, even if you are dazzled by desire now, you should know that under the premise that I am prepared, it is impossible to get what I want."

When he said that, he smiled and released his killing intent completely for the first time.

The people in the entire stone room were as if they were immersed in a freezing cold pool, which was different from the previous killing intent that clearly crossed the ranks.

Although the previous killing intent was strong, it was dimly separated by a layer, but the killing intent at this time made people feel the threat in front of them, as if the head would fall from the neck in the blink of an eye.

Lu Qingjia said, "Do you still have to take a risk?"

The fear caused by the killing intent caused the three to regain their senses. Comparing their own strength with Lu Qingjia and the richest man, they realized how stupid they were doing just now.

Lu Qingjia didn't take this episode seriously, but said to the richest man: "I can understand why even if you pass the previous level, you will fall short at the last step."

"The rules for entering the log-in exit are strict. There is a prohibition to inspire willful and evil thoughts. There are few that are not affected. There are many traps in the original copy, which makes it difficult for players to establish a thorough trust. Once you start, then That’s just a fall."

The richest man nodded. In fact, like Lu Qingjia before, he had the strength to hold everyone in the team, but when he subconsciously counterattacked, he shot too hard. In addition, other players also fought with each other. People died and the team was incomplete. , Then disqualified.

Because the dungeon logs out, it says clearly [Limited to six people]

In other words, one person in this room is destined to stay.

So who stays?Who is willing to let someone else turn on and off the phone after hard work, because the dark side of the spell originally overwhelmed the sane player, after the sneak attack and internal strife, where can there be trust?Where would you be willing to stay in order to confirm that this sentence is a game trap again?

The richest man sneered: "This thing will be flexible. When we came here, we were limited to four people, and we had five people."

Lu Qingjia smiled and said, "Can this word be changed if it is combined?"

The three players who were barely regaining their sanity sneered: "Whether the word changes with the number of people, everyone can't tell whether this rule is true or not, right?"

"You are so high-sounding, now you have to keep one. Who are you going to choose?"

In a word, it made the slightly calm atmosphere sharp again.

With the strength of Lu Qingjia and the richest man, of course there is no problem. They are the ones who survive the fight.

But it's not necessarily the case for other people. They are equal in strength and the gap is not big. Anyone may stay here.

They don't have the skills of Lu Qingjia, or even the richest man's ability to be like a fish in water even if they are trapped. When tomorrow their memory will disappear again, they may not remember that they have reached the point where they can pass the level with one foot.

So a few players, look at me and I will look at you. One player made an instant shot and sneaked towards the female player.

"Anyway, I only need to keep one, so let's have his own ability."

As long as one of them dies, there is no need to choose, and the rest can pass the level.

The female players were also well prepared. She is definitely not soft-hearted if she can get here as a woman. She immediately fought back when she saw it, and she felt cruel. If she really left one, she would have her own ability.

However, the battle hadn't started yet, and the two of them were dragged into the ground by the mud that appeared out of thin air, leaving only one head emerging.

Lu Qingjia said speechlessly: "You should also have a good idea of ​​your IQ. Since it is not suitable for making a decision, then don't bypass the leader and make an opinion."

He said to everyone: "You go out, I am the last."

"You?" The others were shocked and doubtful.

But the richest man could barely understand, he said: "You suspect, once one person in the team dies, will the number of words above change?"

For example, it is restricted to six people now, but if one person is dead, the number becomes five if one cannot keep it.

"Or once someone dies, he violates the logout regulations and automatically loses his eligibility to logout?"

The richest man would think so, completely based on the understanding of the urine of this copy.

Lu Qingjia said: "It's not doubt, it's affirmation. The condition for this copy to go out is that all those who enter the stone room survive and escape."

The richest man was a little worried: "What if? What if you stay here."

He shut up when he was talking, because he saw Lu Qingjia's expression.

With that self-confidence and almost arrogant attitude, even if the opponent is left behind, he is confident that he can still pass the level.
