Forces of Temptation

They found a restaurant in Squirrel Town to rest.

Nanzhou ordered a brown sugar fresh milk mochi, with ten degrees of sugar.

This made Li Yinhang suspect for a while that what was flowing in his veins was not blood, but syrup.

The small humanoid squirrel waiter in the restaurant seems to like Nanzhou very much.

After giving Nan Zhou a chocolate muffin with the Squirrel Town logo, she also added her own address on the napkin, and gave Nan Zhou a contempt with cartoon-like round eyes with three long eyelashes. A creepy wink.

If someone else came, I'm afraid I would be terrified by the uncanny valley effect.

But Nan Zhou treated her well and nodded to her very politely.

The squirrel waiter was in a good mood, and left with an empty tray in his arms.

Nan Jixing was so curious that he shook his head and tail, and his eyes were shining. When he wanted to follow up, Nan Zhou gently grabbed his tail and put it in his pocket upside down.

At this time, other players in the restaurant also received the update notification.

A pair of teammates at the next table are happily discussing with bright eyes:

"After the update, 500 points will be rewarded!"

"I beg them to do more updates, catch some bugs, so that other people don't take advantage of it, and it's good for us."

...they obviously didn't know that the creator of this bug was sitting at the next table.

It's not just one person who thinks this way.

In the newly launched world function, at least half of the content discussed by everyone is for this update.

Of course, there are voices of dissatisfaction.

"Only 500 points? To send off beggars."

"Damn it, pull us here to play for our lives, and give us a little bit of sweetness to succeed in such a virtuous deed, isn't it cheap?"

"We don't play this game! Quit!"

"Exit! Exit!"

Of course, the main messenger behind the game will ignore them.

However, the emotions of the players who have been holding back for a long time also found an outlet here. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, they all swiped the screen and insulted passionately in the air.

On the contrary, some useful information was washed away.

Some bright-minded players took advantage of this convenient information channel that was suddenly opened up to publish information about their own props, and wanted to make transactions, but they were quickly pushed up by repetitive texts full of anger.

These situations were broadcast live by Li Yinhang to them.

——Neither Nanzhou nor Jiangfang chose to update.

But after listening for a while, the three reached a consensus:

There isn't much nutritious information at the moment.

Li Yinhang took a mouthful of red bean rice cake soup with a squirrel pattern on it, and heaved a heavy sigh.

Nanzhou felt that Li Yinhang should be more happy about this unexpected income than he is now.

He asked, "Aren't you happy that you earned 500 points?"

"What is this called earned?"

Li Yinhang's money-saving radar operates stably, and he is not at all bewitched by the atmosphere of universal celebration in the chat channel: "Everyone has it, which means everyone doesn't have it."

Anyway, everyone gained points together, which didn't give them any advantage as a team.

Jiang Fang said, "At least 500 more points for buying necessities."

Li Yinhang muttered: "That's right..."

As he spoke, Li Yinhang lowered his voice slightly and complained, "But isn't it clearly taking advantage of us?"

In the last dungeon, they had obviously found a way to pass the level.

As long as they find the correct, non-existent classroom, and change the order of entering the classroom again, they can successfully pass the 120 hours.

If it wasn't for the rustling monster who made a move before them, if it wasn't for saving Sun Guojing, Nanzhou would never have thought of violently demolishing the door.

Capturing monsters is an accident for the game system, but is it not an accident for their players?

As a result, Nan Zhou had just caught a dungeon creature, and the patch for the game system caught up in no time.

This shows that the bug discovered by Nanzhou was unexpected by the operator behind it, and it is also quite important.

For this reason, it even jumped from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

Once updated, the brand-new warehouse system has added incompatibility with dungeon creatures, so the dungeon boss, which is still garbled in his warehouse so far, will be directly erased.

The game official of "Gravity" - let's call it that - almost wrote the words "I am your father" on his face lightly.

It not only intends to take away the dungeon boss directly, but also gives all players 500 points, and refuses to leave any extra benefits to them "Cubic Ark".

Although he hadn't thought of catching this monster for any specific purpose other than occupying a storage tank for nothing, Li Yinhang adhered to the philosophy that "things that others are reluctant to give you must be good things", and he genuinely felt that he was in a panic.

When Li Yinhang was quite upset, Nanzhou was also staring at his own control panel for research.

The store interface is greyed out.

The leaderboard was still what he saw when he entered the previous instance, and the ranking was not refreshed.

The credits page didn't even count his score for the last dungeon.

Any page that requires interaction is stagnant.

The only thing he can manipulate is the warehouse interface, and the cold update interface that seems to have a mocking smile.

The reason why the game still retains the operation interface of the warehouse system is because the warehouse and the player's oxygen system are highly bound.

Once the warehouse system is closed, players who have no time to choose to update will be suffocated directly.

Of course, the mastermind behind planning the game is clearly not worried about players not updating.

After all, without updating, the store system will not open.

The store cannot be used, which means that players cannot buy the oxygen necessary for survival, cannot spend time resting in the transit station, and cannot enjoy the convenience and new functions brought by the system update.

to be honest.

Or don't breathe.

...or update me.

Either take the old system and throw yourself into the next level of the game non-stop.

...or update me.

Don't be angry, I even gave you 500 points as a consolation prize.

Li Yinhang summed it up precisely: "Every game is the same virtue."

At present, it seems that the game party has full confidence in this update.

But Li Yinhang didn't really want to spoil them.

"Anyway, we've been resting for more than a day in the last dungeon." Li Yinhang said, "I'll buy a selection ticket this time. We'll go into the dungeon to do the mission right away."

Nan Zhou said lightly, "...well."

He scooped out the milky white mochi from the sugar juice, took two small plates, and evenly distributed a spoonful to each of Jiang Fang and Li Yinhang.

Jiang Fang's ball was a little bigger.

He compared it, and secretly used a spoon to bring the edges of Jiang Fang's ball of mochi together in the middle, so that the two balls looked about the same size.

...as if the game at hand wasn't all that important to their inevitable mockery.

Li Yinhang was a little anxious, pressed his hands on the edge of the table, and speeded up his speech: "Mr. Nan, hurry up and make a decision."

Nan Zhou was taken aback.

"...This is delicious." Nan Zhou said, "But I won't give you more."

Li Yinhang: "..."

After a moment of reaction, she realized that Nan Zhou was protecting food.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a while: "What I said is, we need to enter the copy as soon as possible!"

Nan Zhou: "And then?"

Li Yinhang: "...Huh?"

Li Yinhang: "Then... just do the dungeon task. Mr. Nan, you bought oxygen once when you left 'Zhijin', and now you only have 12 hours of oxygen time left; Brother Fang only has 8 hours left Yes. If it is determined that this time it will not be updated, we will leave quickly."

Nanzhou took a deep look at Li Yinhang.

...she knew their oxygen levels better than they even knew themselves.

He realized that it was a very correct thing for him to choose Li Yinhang as his teammate.

But Nan Zhou was still not in a hurry.

He scooped up all the mochi in the sugar water, picked up the beautiful glass cup, and drank the sugar water in it slowly: "This is not the way."

Li Yinhang: "Is there any way we can think about it slowly after entering the dungeon, don't waste oxygen, and have plenty of time..."

That's what he said, but Li Yinhang didn't have any confidence in his heart.

To put it bluntly, they just can't swallow this breath now.

For example, after finally drawing a prize that looks like a top-notch reward from the prize pool, normal people don't want to let a simple update button take advantage of it for nothing.

But if the system restricts and disgusts them like this, they are not allowed to enter the warehouse or rest at the transfer station, as players, no matter how unwilling they are, they can only obediently apply the patch, and they are clearly arranged.

Nan Zhou's way of thinking was completely different from hers.

"Is it really in our favor the longer it takes?" he asked.

Li Yinhang: "..." That's exactly what he said.

If they don't update, when they come back from the next mission, the system may be able to directly force update the backpack system of all players without consent.

"It takes time to make a patch," Nan Zhou said, "It took them more than 40 hours to make this patch, right?"

As he spoke, Nan Zhou muttered.

"...That's the limit of research and development capabilities."

Li Yinhang: "..."

If she heard correctly, Mr. Nan is using his taunt ability up to 8 points to negate the system's ability.

Nanzhou was not aware of this, and confirmed to Li Yinhang again: "We can still be active in Squirrel Town for 8 hours, right?"

Li Yinhang frowned.

... She has the intuition that a big boss wants to do big things.

Full of anxiety, she looked at Jiang Fang for help.

Jiang Fang received her signal and gave her a reassuring nod.

Immediately, he smiled and raised his black teacup to Nan Zhou: "Whatever you choose, I'll just follow the ticket."

Li Yinhang: "..." She didn't need to look at Jiang Fang.

"In addition to this, I am more concerned about another thing."

Jiang Fang gently put the black teacup back on the saucer, making a clear sound of ceramics colliding.

"Before, the game planner of "Gravity" has been hiding behind the scenes. Now because of Mr. Nan's mistake, he has to show up."

"So, what is it that is manipulating us behind the scenes and pulling us into the game?"

"What is the purpose of letting us decide the outcome and realize our wishes?"

"and also……"

Jiang Fang paused: "If that dungeon is really just a dungeon, and the dungeon boss is really their data, why do they care so much about a piece of reproducible data?"

"Isn't it OK to make another one? Why urgently release a patch, update the warehouse, and restrict players?"

As he spoke, he held his chin and showed a beautiful smile to Nan Zhou:

"If I don't understand this, I don't want to hand over Mr. Men so easily."
