Infinite weird games

Chapter 73 Hopeless Sea (4) Deceit-Fraud

Zeiss followed Yuna into the hotel along with other players.

The hotel doesn't look big from the outside, but it's very spacious inside. There are more than a dozen tables of various sizes arranged like a restaurant.

The walls that have been pickled by the sea breeze are constantly exuding a salty smell, and the wooden furnishings are dotted with tooth marks.

Wet fish heads lay across the slippery floor, and mottled fish blood and broken internal organs mixed into feces-like stains.

Qisi lowered his eyes and carefully picked a clean place to walk. He finally found a place to stand next to a wooden table that looked like a counter and stood still.

Yuna glanced at him with a smile, rubbed his shoulder and walked behind the counter, dragging a wooden board out of the shadows.

She placed the wooden board on the table of the counter, and all players could see the strange hieroglyphs on it:

[The room is on the second floor, each room costs 300 yuan per night]

I didn't expect that I would have a place to spend money so soon... Qisi rubbed the banknotes in his pocket and made calculations silently.

The initial funds he had on hand were only enough to stay in a hotel for three days. Is it required to solve the dungeon within three days, or is there another mechanism to obtain money?

"Three hundred and one nights, do you think this is a five-star hotel?" The voice was a rough-looking man carrying a big bag, with a loud voice, "One hundred and fifty-one nights, no more!"

From his expression to his temperament, this guy is impeccable. In reality, he must be a skilled bargainer. If you dare to bargain in a weird game, you either have a few brushes or you have courage.

Yuna smiled and stared ahead. There was no shadow of anyone in her clear eyes. She raised the wooden board in her hand and shook her head slightly.

The backpacker didn't give up, took a few steps back and walked to the door, muttering: "I don't believe there are no other hotels here. Even if I build a bed on the beach, I won't stay here..."

No one stopped him, and Qiss wished he would die outside so that he could verify the death point of this copy.

But Yuna seemed to have been touched by a switch, and her white hands quickly gestured: "There is only one hotel on the island."

This should be true, even if it is false, no player dares to go out to prove it at this time.

The clock had already struck eight when I arrived, and there were only four hours left before the required bedtime. Who knew if I could get back after going out.

After all, the backpack man didn't dare to spend the night on the beach, so he had to return to the counter and pretend that nothing happened.

He made such a fuss, which was not without gain, but at least eliminated two feasible options.

Lu Li touched the frame of his glasses and showed a polite smile: "Yuna, you also know that we have been shipwrecked and are now penniless. I am afraid that we will be sleeping in the open in three days..."

Qisi noticed that when he said the word "three days", the expressions of several players changed, and some doubts flashed in their eyes.

It seems that players have different initial bankrolls. The status effect of "Businessman" is "get the same service with less money", and it is not surprising that there is a camp whose status effect is "obtain more initial funds".

According to Yuna, the money players receive is consistent with their own value. So, which identity has higher value?

Yuna turned her face to Lu Li, her eyes still filled with clear emptiness. Being stared at by such eyes, it was easy for her to feel panicked when facing a ghost.

Lu Li thought carefully and asked: "Is there any way to make money on the island? If so, can you tell us?"

"I don't know." Yuna tilted her head and her smile became more pure. "In my memory, all money is given by our Lord, and the amount is measured by the price that each person can pay."

Lu Li asked: "What price?"

"Health, personality, conscience, life...anything that you know can be exchanged for money can be used as a price."

Hearing the word "conscience", Ziss looked strange.

What is this called? If the money is gone, you can make more money; if your conscience is gone, you can make more money.

Just as he was about to ask, Lu Li smiled bitterly and said, "It seems we have to save some money on hand... Yuna, can we share a room with more than one person?"

"Yes, but each room can only accommodate up to three people."

"The nominal value of the money we have on hand is too large. It may not be convenient to share it if we rent together. Can you help us exchange it?"

"I don't have any form of money here, so I'm afraid I can't give you change."

It is undoubtedly better to have experienced players take the initiative to ask questions and bear the risk of being particularly concerned about by NPCs and other players. Chiss was happy to fish in troubled waters.

Through the questions and answers, the mechanism involved in the hotel became clearer.

[Rules have been refreshed]

[6. Sharing is allowed in hotels, but each room can only accommodate up to three people, no more or less]

[7. The island residents do not have any form of money in their hands and cannot exchange it for players]

Lu Li looked around at the people behind him and said in a calm voice: "Although I don't know what the money means, according to the first rule, we'd better save some money to avoid being stretched later and falling into passivity. I suggest that the three of us work together. If you live in a group, it only costs 100 yuan per person per day.”

The prompt of the dungeon was already very clear. He just repeated the most obvious way to pass the level, but it immediately aroused questions: "Are you kidding? This is a camp dungeon!"

The speaker was a white man with a stubble on his face, and his tone was unkind: "Three players live in a room, who knows if someone will take the opportunity to do something evil? Keep your spirits up at all times, it's fine for one or two days, but who does this every day? Can you hold on?"

"Isn't it enough for players from the same camp to live together?" A long-haired young man dressed in an artistic style felt sorry for Lu Li. "Why do you have such an attitude? Can you think of a better way?"

The white man sneered: "If you want to achieve a balance among the fifteen-person camp dungeons, each camp consists of five people. How can you divide them into groups of three? Moreover, who knows what the other party's camp is. Does anyone dare to be the first to expose it?"

What he said was the truth and could not be refuted. Players who were originally interested in sharing a house also looked thoughtful and hesitated.

Lu Li shook his head helplessly, his voice still calm: "I'm sorry that I didn't think carefully and couldn't come up with a better plan. Everything I said is just my suggestion. You can just use it as a reference. You don't have to follow it completely. "

"But in my opinion, there is absolutely no need for us to be hostile and wary of each other. This is not a confrontation dungeon in the strict sense. The main mission must be completed, and the side missions can be done or not. And it is not easy to complete the main mission. Every time Every step requires our concerted efforts.”

Lu Lisheng was elegant and bookish, with a very approachable appearance.

He glanced at everyone and said in a clear voice: "I know that many people here have established a zero-sum mentality and are unwilling to give more trust to their companions. But I must say that we are all human beings and have been involved in this. A game full of malice and fear, weirdness and ghosts are our biggest enemies.”

"We should unite and not be divided by weird games. Don't get lost in internal strife without a winner. Don't wait until the day when someone cracks the final copy and destroys the weird games. Looking back, we only see that we are neither humans nor ghosts. Looks like a ghost..."

It was the first time that Qisi heard the rhetoric of "a community with a shared future for mankind" advocated by the Kyushu Guild outside the forum, and his eyelids twitched a few times.

Sure enough, the next second, Lu Li took out a badge-like object from his trouser pocket and waved it in front of the players: "As you can see, I am from the Jiuzhou Guild. I hope that at least in this copy, we can put down Prejudice, win-win cooperation.”

The moment the players saw the badge, they all stopped joking on their faces and looked at Lu Li with a more probing look.

No matter how the ideological trend of the player group changes, the Kyushu Guild is a well-deserved "lighthouse" in the minds of players.

Even in the years when internal conflicts among players are the most serious, the Kyushu Guild still upholds the right path, calls for unity, and requires all members to take action to help other players. Once it is discovered that a member refuses to save others or even harms others, they will be punished internally depending on the severity of the case, and may even be expelled from the guild.

Under such strict rules, the word "Jiuzhou" itself means integrity, kindness and trustworthiness.

Of course, what's more important is that with the current distribution of guild power, no one dares to say that they can escape unscathed after offending Kyushu.

Lu Li took the badge back and said eloquently: "I can tell you that my identity is a businessman, and my side mission is to kill all scholars. One of the effects of my identity is that 'all the will to murder the nobles will not be converted into action.' Of course, I don’t intend to kill the scholar, and I hope the nobles will not kill me.”

If Lu Li proposed cooperation before, the players had only half-believed it; now he directly blew himself up, and his credibility instantly soared to a high level.

The green-haired girl was the first to respond: "The boss is right! Doing side missions is just to get more points. Accumulating points is to survive. Cooperation is more conducive to survival. We almost put the cart before the horse before."

She then smiled regretfully: "Oh, it's a pity that I'm a woman, so I probably won't be able to live with Mr. Lu Li. By the way, my name is Angela. Are there any sisters willing to live with me?"

After Angela finished speaking, she glanced at Liu Yuhan who was holding a notebook and the long-haired girl who was touching up her makeup at the right time, showing an attitude of inquiry and expectation.

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her.

After all, your life is yours. In the context of camp games, although players admire people like Lu Li, they never dare to let down their guard easily.

Qisi looked at Lu Li and said coldly: "To achieve a game equilibrium, the three camps must form a closed loop. Businessmen kill scholars, scholars kill nobles, and nobles kill businessmen... As long as you know this, anyone can rely on What you said just now is pretending to be anyone."

He paused, revealing just the right amount of suspicion: "I'm curious, are you really a businessman? I'm also a businessman. Why don't you tell me about the effect of your other identity and see if it matches mine."

"I'm afraid not." Lu Li smiled bitterly, "Although I advocate unity, I cannot guarantee that everyone is willing to cooperate. If I disclose my identity, it will put my camp at a disadvantage. You know, in the game, any piece of information Bad accumulation can be extremely fatal.”

Having said this, he adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses: "What's more, even if I disclose my identity, I can't prove myself. A real businessman will not stand up to testify or refute. That would expose his identity and put himself in danger." situation; similarly, they dare not tell others the truth in private because they cannot be sure whether the other party is a companion or an enemy. "

Perhaps even Lu Li himself didn't notice that his words described the chain of suspicion that existed among the players.

The suspicion has been laid, and the other players are not stupid, and they all look at each other with a little more fun.

Ziss smiled and added: "Even if someone dares to testify for you openly, it still cannot explain the problem - that person may be a player of the same camp as you have made an appointment with."

"In the same way, just like we cannot judge the truth or falsehood of your words, we cannot judge the truth or falsehood of anyone's words in public. And the role of private judgment is very small, close to nothing."

He put the premise that he is not a "real businessman" into the logic of his words. What other players will interpret from this is a matter of opinion.

Since Lu Li wants to be a good person, he can just take the opportunity to choose himself out. As for the remaining three "businessman" teammates, it doesn't matter whether they are dead or alive.

Qisi thought idly that in the future he might be able to develop a tool man who would be completely obedient to his orders. When encountering such copies, he would use Lu Li's rhetoric to attract the attention of others and cover for him.

Lu Li was scolded by Qisi, with a look of remorse on his face: "I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully. I don't intend to force you to make a decision. Regarding giving up the side mission, it is just my personal unilateral proposal."

Angela quickly said: "Brother Lu Li, don't say that! Isn't it right? It's serious to cooperate to complete the main mission. Whoever likes to do the side missions can do it!"

When the white man heard this, he sneered disdainfully, obviously not interested in Angela's flattering behavior.

Angela glared at him and slapped her nose with her hand.

Yuna turned a blind eye to the discord between the players. She picked up a crumpled registration book and gestured to the players: "You should book a room quickly so that I can prepare dinner. No more bookings can be made after dinner time."

Chiss asked: "When is dinner time usually?"

Yuna: "When the bell strikes the ninth."

During the conversation, the players all made a decision. They painfully took out three banknotes and handed them to Yuna, and then took the key from her hand.

As soon as the banknote fell into Yuna's hand, it disappeared out of thin air, not even a bubble, as if it had never existed. It seems the rules mean what they say when they say "no money of any kind is in the hands of the islanders".

Qisi stepped aside, watched Chang Xu pay the money, and then approached him casually: "Brother Chang, how about I share a room with you?"

Chang Xu was slightly startled, his eyes wandering: "I thought you wouldn't want to live with me, so I didn't come to see you."

He subconsciously added an explanation, but Qisi seemed not to care and said with a smile: "It's not too late for me to come to you now. I can't find the money anyway. Why don't you pay for the rent for one day and I'll pay for the other day."

"Why do you want to live with me? You can't identify me, and I don't know your identity."

"Didn't Lu Li say that identity doesn't matter? As long as you give up side tasks, this will be a team copy." Qisi smiled brightly, and there was no trace of calculation at all. "I think I have cooperated with you once, Brother Chang. Even if I know the basics, you don’t look like the kind of person who would kill someone for a side mission. After all, if I don’t even believe you, I have no one I can trust.”

When he said this, he whispered mysteriously: "I said those words to Lu Li because I was afraid that he would mislead other players and allow some people to fish in troubled waters. I know you still doubt me, and I don't dare to ask for your trust. , but in this copy, cooperation is indeed the best solution, isn’t it?”

Chang Xu had actually dispelled most of his suspicions long ago, and being killed once in the Rose Manor was not something worth worrying about.

He looked calmly into Zis's eyes, and the latter's eyes were extremely sincere: "My identity is a 'noble', and the first effect of my identity is to 'obtain more initial funds'. What about you, Brother Chang?"

Chang Xu was stunned for a moment, and finally a crack appeared on his expressionless face: "I am also a 'noble'."

Telling the guessed identity effect is an element of gambling. There is a one-half probability that the bet will be right, and a two-thirds probability that no clues will be revealed in the short term. Failure is acceptable, and the return is ideal enough. For Qiss, it is worth giving it a try.

Now it seems that the result is good.

Yuna collected a round of money, waited for a moment, and when no one took out any more banknotes, she returned the money behind the counter.

The woman, who was too beautiful to be true, dragged her flowing skirt, turned around and disappeared through the half-covered door.

Chang Xu thought of something and said in a volume that only two people could hear: "We each have fifteen hundred yuan. If we live together, we can pay for ten days' rent."

Is it a temptation? Or... get the letter?

Qisi clicked his tongue and smiled crookedly: "Yes, Brother Chang, the two of us have ten days."

Sorry, I was too busy preparing for the start of school a few days ago, so there was no update. I bow and roll here asking for forgiveness! Thanks to the friends who voted for me during the period. The author has something to say that I can’t write anymore. I’ll code it one by one in the next chapter... This book will not eunuch, although the results have been so miserable that many colleagues will choose to cut the book, and some seniors have also advised I started a new book, but I still stubbornly wanted to give Si Qi a complete life (Fog). This book won't make any money, but I love writing, and I plan to finish the story I want to write while the financial pressure is not great now. In short, don't worry about me, eunuch. If I go missing, something must have happened/or I'm dead. (By the way, I have only stopped reading for three days. When I use Sword God's Smile during the final exam week, I'm afraid the book review section will explode... I can't use verbal attacks. I walked around the book review section and was really scared. I was so scared that I wanted to take the blame and run away/slip away)
