Infinite Room Escape

"To celebrate the first anniversary of the store opening, the second half price of the whole set menu..."

NPC area, a tavern.

Compared with the deserted houses I saw along the way, this tavern is a rare popular place.Just looking in from the window, you can see several tables eating, and you can vaguely hear melodious music pouring out of it, accompanied by sporadic welcomes.

In a daze, Su Zili even had the feeling of returning to the present world, but soon the line of words hanging on the small blackboard at the door shattered the fantasy and returned to reality directly.

"This store only supports point payment!"

"Japanese currency, US dollar, Thai baht, including RMB, cannot be used!"

There is also a word written in a particularly large size below, for fear that the guests will not be able to see it.

"This shop refuses the overlord's meal!"

"..."

how to say.

I always feel that the imaginary NPCs are all rich, and the impression that they are rich enough to crush a poor player is suddenly shattered at this moment.Su Zili suddenly realized one thing, even if they have become NPCs, their predecessors are still players, players who can hold hands and count every penny in the game.

Switched to the real world, it is a slum "mathematician" who has to count his fingers for half an hour to order a takeaway before placing an order until the optimal price is calculated.

"The feast you mentioned is here?"

Su Zili ordered the second half-price set meal listed on another small blackboard. He deeply suspected that the guy just wanted to collect wool but couldn't find anyone, so he finally took the opportunity to call him.

"Let me make sure first. The treat you mentioned is not your treat and I will pay for it?"

"How is it possible, I still have the money to buy two packages!" Di Rang patted his chest excitedly, "I just came out of the secret room, which is equivalent to this month's salary, how could I have no money? !"

"eat!"

"You're welcome to go in, order the set meal casually, and we can order two more iced cokes!"

Su Zili: "...?"

These words... It sounds very generous, but in fact, when you analyze it, it is extremely poor.Sure enough, no matter whether it is a human, a ghost or an NPC, as long as you still need to live, you must experience the pain of life.

Then, he was pulled into the box by Di Rang.

And paid 10% more box fee.

Su Zili: "?"

He didn't understand: "Since the funds are not very sufficient, why use a box?"

Is it okay to eat in the lobby?You can also watch more people coming and going, so you don't have to worry about something popping up in the next second to drive those people alive, and one or two will die in the gap.

This long-lost, reassuring feeling.

How rare.

"Brother," Di Rang was so worried that he said earnestly: "Although I don't want to introduce how awesome you were back then like flattery in front of your face, can you be a little self-aware of yourself?"

"Do you think you are the kind of person who is so low-key that no one will recognize you when you go out?"

Su Zili: "...Why don't you sound like you're praising me?"

"No, this is a compliment." Di Rang closed the menu with a snap, his expression suddenly became serious, "I don't know if you remember it, and I don't know if He Xuan told you anything, but you If you ask me what kind of person you were before, I will reply to you—"

"You are a legend."

"He is the hero in the hearts of the first batch of NPCs, and he is also the person that we latecomers look forward to and yearn for."

Su Zili: "..."

He opened his mouth, overwhelmed by the sudden announcement of the Second Secondary School.It would be okay if Di Rang was joking, but if you look closely, you can see that he is very serious.

"You should know..." Su Zili paused, trying to choose his words, "Even if you praise me so much, you still have to invite me for this meal, right?"

Di Rang rolled his eyes.

"Come again."

"Sure enough, human nature will not change because of amnesia."

"Do you know when you lost my admirer? It was the first sentence you said after I actually saw you in real life, which directly destroyed your image."

"What did I say?"

Su Zili was very interested in this topic: "Tell me about it, I can use it next time."

"No, you don't need it anymore." Di Rang refused him indifferently, "Because your admirers are already sober, and they are no longer the kind of people who are imprisoned by stereotypes."

"Then what did I say?"

"Tell me, one point for book signing, five points for hands, ten points for backpacks and dolls, twenty points for T-shirts, and one flying kick from you on body."

Su Zili: "..."

Isn't this the scene of his sister chasing stars that he saw before? It's just that when the stars his sister chases hold a handshake meeting, they can only smile brightly at every fan.And he is a cold and ruthless cash collection machine.

"But in this way, can it really make money?"

He thought about it, and deeply doubted that someone would be so crazy and willing to pay points to buy his autograph?

You must know that they only ate ten points for this meal, which is still the discounted price.Although it doesn't look like much, in fact, some newcomers fled a whole secret room in embarrassment, and in the end they may only earn a price that is slightly higher than this amount.

Life is so hard, can anyone really spend that much money?

This is not krypton gold, this is krypton life!

"You can make money." Di Rang gave him a strange look. "Can you have some confidence in your own appearance and charm? It's at the end of the street over there."

Su Zili: "...are they all girls?"

"There are both men and women, and even the proportion of men is much higher."

Su Zili: "..."

He began to think deeply, when exactly did he have this fate of taking all men and women?Why doesn't he know how powerful he is?If he had this ability, shouldn't he have become a household star in the real world long ago?

"What the hell did I do?"

"It's nothing, it's just a game with the game, saved a lot of people, and then forced the game to come up with a system for players to turn into NPCs. There is also a points redemption system, where did you care about the money in your pocket before?" Is it enough, anyway, if you don't escape successfully, you will die directly. Now at least some of the lucky ones can be saved. And there is..."

Di Rang sat up slightly, opened the window, and asked Su Zili to look at the street scene outside. The scattered roads connected modern houses of different sizes, but they had a strange sense of life.

"From here to the hall we just came out of, you can just say something directly out of the window, this is the country you brought down."

"Do you know how awesome you are?"

Su Zili looked out of the window and didn't make a sound for a long time, waiting for the waiter to serve the food, then Di Rang heard a sentence with a little bit of exclamation coming out of his mouth unhurriedly: "I didn't expect that I still He is quite talented in architecture, if he had known that he would have applied for civil engineering, he might have earned enough money for a house!"

Di Rang: "..."

"I've already talked about this, why are you still thinking about joking?"

He is a little tired.

"What else?" Su Zili took a sip of Coke in a leisurely and unhurried manner, "Otherwise I will suddenly become ambitious after listening to it, and lead my admirers who may have already felt that they have forgotten me to form a rebel army and bring down the game ?"

He looked at Di Rang and nodded his head: "Do you think I look like an idiot? You said you want to cleanse me up, treat me to dinner, and then tell me so many things about the past. Whatever you do, just say it."

Di Rang was taken aback for a moment, and then he was like a balloon that had been punctured, and his whole body became decadent.

Scratching his head irritably, he didn't dare to look up at Su Zili: "Actually, I don't know what to say right away. I originally wanted you to pay attention to avoid the following people, but when I said something, I just..."

He sighed, stopped talking about what he had and didn't have it, and started to introduce it directly.

"When you entered the secret room, the game should have mentioned the level of the secret room to you, right? In terms of players' abilities, they basically wander in the secret room below A-level, and they will be invited by NPCs if they go higher. 90.00% of the nine players will agree to become NPCs, which is why the number of our group has increased in recent years."

"Is it life-threatening to become an NPC?" Su Zili frowned and asked: "I wanted to ask before, the game is not open to charity, although in the process of gradually participating in more secret rooms, many players will be deleted and selected." Most of the players, but after a long time, the remaining people are not a small number. People in their prime are fine, if they are old and their physical fitness has declined, then what to do?"

"Will the game really be kind enough to leave us a way out?"

"Of course not," Di Rang sneered, and said, "The so-called Big Wave Gold Rush requires real gold and silver to be retained. Although NPCs are a little more comfortable than players, they don't have to work hard one after another in secret rooms, but this It's not a job without danger. After participating in ten secret room jobs, we need to go to the secret room once like players, and continue to be NPCs if we survive. If we die...it's because he is weak."

"There is a prerequisite for the secret room that NPC participates in: the level will not be lower than A level."

"That is to say, all the secret rooms above A level are entered by our NPCs. The game also drew a big cake for us. If one of us can pass the SSS level secret room, then he can go home."

Su Zili knocked on the table thoughtfully: "Then has anyone cleared the SSS-level secret room now?"

"No."

Di Rang shook his head.

"Let's not talk about the SSS level, even the SS level has only one person who has passed the level. There is also the S level, and those who can pass are the big names in the NPC. Normally, ordinary NPCs can only barely get through the A level. One swipe, save your own life."

"Who cleared the SS level?"

When Su Zili asked this question, he had some expectations in his heart.

"He Xuan." Di Rang glanced at Su Zili, and seeing that he had no other indication after hearing this, he said in a low voice: "When you left here in an accident, He Xuan broke into the secret room like crazy. We thought he might ...I didn't expect him to come out of the SS-level secret room alive. Since then, he has never challenged that kind of difficult secret room, and he has never mentioned you again."

Su Zili: "..."

He pursed his lips.

"Then what do you mean by telling me this now?"

Looking at his expression, Di Rang guessed a little bit of what he meant, and quickly waved his hands and said, "I didn't mean to ask how you can change back and forth. I can't learn this kind of extreme operation. I just want you...to help them."

Su Zili: "?"

"I only found out when He Xuan sent me a message last time." Di Rang scratched his head in distress. "For so many years, no one dared to challenge the difficult difficulty. I thought everyone gave up. But last time He Xuan Ask me where those people have gone, I searched around and found out that those powerful guys in the NPC have disappeared for a long time. I asked around and asked a lot before I found out—”

"They went to the SSS-level secret room."

"A group of them went together?" Su Zili was very surprised, "Is there no limit on the number of people? They didn't try the SS level in advance, and went directly to the highest level? Isn't this a bit irrational?"

"That's what I thought at first, but then I found out..." Di Rang sighed, as if he had thought of something, with an extremely complicated expression on his face, "They have no choice but to explore the SS-level secret room. At that time, he went to see the SSS secret room by accident, and he brought out a piece of news that led to the current situation."

"—SSS-level secret room, it doesn't exist forever."

"It has a countdown."

Su Zili was startled.

"Can this thing have a countdown timer? How long is it? Don't you say anything after setting it?"

"I don't know when it started to fall. Anyway, when they found out, there was only a little more than half a year left." Di Rang was also very helpless, "There is no limit on the number of people in this secret room. They thought about it and just formed a team together. I went in, thinking that if something bad happens, at least one or two can come out and leave a message for the people behind. The result..."

"It has been more than two months since they entered, and there is no news at all."

"I know that my words are a bit difficult, but I have nowhere to go." Di Rang smiled wryly and stretched out his hand to Su Zili, "Brother Su, are you willing to help us again and become a hero?"

"No matter what orders I have, even if I am a pawn, I will not refuse. I just want to ask you...can you consider helping us. No matter what, everyone really wants...want to live go down."

He lowered his head, although he didn't shed tears, but his whole body was actually immersed in mourning.

"Of course...it's normal if you don't help. There's nothing wrong with me. I just...just don't know who to go to. I probably want to make a final struggle. You don't have to take my nonsense to heart, as long as Just make up your own mind. Anything goes, really, I..."

"Okay," Su Zili interrupted his incoherent speech with a wave of his hand, "Did I say I won't help? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Under Di Rang's flustered and expectant eyes, Su Zili tapped the table.

"I can help."

"But I don't want to be a hero. Don't set up FLAg for me. Generally speaking, heroes tend to die early. Since you have been an NPC for so long, you should have some special connections?"

"Before going in, help me get He Xuan."

Di Rang: "...!"

Su Zili's expression is calm, obviously there is no other expression on his expression, but he looks very powerful, making people want to believe and rely on, to put it in a more easy-to-understand way, that is - making people want to hug thigh!

"it is good!"

Di Rang agreed without even thinking about it. Although it was difficult to find a way to get He Xuan, he probably had to drag others into the water and spend a lot of points to do it.

But that's nothing compared to what they're trying to do!

If He Xuan and Su Zili could join forces to fight against the secret room together, the reliability would simply increase crazily.

Di Rang could even picture in his mind the image of the two of them tearing up the secret room together. Thinking about it, he felt extraordinarily handsome!

"Then I'll contact the person later, Brother Su, do you have any other needs?"

"Yes," Su Zili ordered the menu, "I want to eat steak."

After a while, he added another sentence: "The most expensive one."

Looking at the price above that was enough to empty his wallet, Di Rang nodded with tears in his eyes.

Just eat it, a piece of steak for the boss, no loss!

woo woo woo woo.
