Chapter 214 Dangerous 'Game'
Chapter 214 Dangerous 'Game'
In the empty wilderness, there is a unique building, which is now brightly lit. A huge billboard is hung on the building, which reads "Yongge Supermarket".
There was a person standing at the door.
Lin Qiqi kicked the stones under his feet out of boredom.
Somewhat irritable.
The next moment she looked up, and was a little happy at first, but after seeing who was coming, her face fell again.
"why you?"
An Zhiyan knew that Lin Qiqi was not someone to be trifled with, so she did not fight back, and she was very surprised by one thing.
"Where's Luo Xi? He hasn't arrived yet?"
There was no teasing intention in this sentence, it was a literal expression of surprise. Although she had only come into contact with Luo Xi in two levels, she knew how powerful Luo Xi was. He was able to crush most of the people who had recalled their past. Even the so-called masters were as insignificant as elementary school students in front of Luo Xi.
The 'tests' encountered after sitting in the Internet cafe and starting the computer are indeed terrifying and troublesome. You need to understand the riddles about Yongge Supermarket to pass them.
But if she could pass it, how could Luo Xi?
Logically speaking, Luo Xi should have been the first to arrive.
Lin Qiqi didn't say anything, but continued to wait. An Zhiyan could only wait as well. Next to them was the brightly lit 'Yongge Supermarket', the legendary scene of the fourth level of the Diyuan.
However, before Luo Xi arrived, neither of them had any intention of going in first.
Time passed by minute by minute.
"Is there a possibility that Luo Xi can't tell jokes?" Suddenly, An Zhiyan looked up and said something. Lin Qiqi was stunned and looked at An Zhiyan. The two women looked at each other.
"It's really possible."
Because after finding the Dragon King, you need to tell him a joke, and only the joke approved by the Dragon King will be allowed to pass.
Based on what An Zhiyan knew about Luo Xi, he didn't seem like someone who was good at telling jokes.
A cold, silent and even somewhat scary man, his lack of humor may be Luo Xi's only shortcoming.
That's why she thought so.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Lin Qiqi shook her head.
"Telling jokes has nothing to do with being humorous. The riddle only says to tell a joke to the Dragon King, not that you have to have a sense of humor or make the Dragon King laugh. And with Luo Xi's knowledge, he can tell jokes for three days and three nights without repeating himself. How could he fail the last level?"
An Zhiyan nodded. Lin Qiqi was right. Telling jokes had nothing to do with having a sense of humor.
Because Lin Yixuan also has no sense of humor.
Since Lin Yixuan could pass, Luo Xi shouldn’t be blocked at that level.
"Could it be that some other situation has occurred?" An Zhiyan could only expand her thinking.
"For example." Lin Qiqi looked at her.
"It's like he didn't click on the icon on the desktop, or he didn't choose the northeast direction in the darkness." Now An Zhiyan can only guess.
She definitely didn't know the specific circumstances.
For example, she had no idea that Luo Xi encountered a 'problem' when he was holding that strange mouse.
In the Sunshine Internet Cafe.
Luo Xi was speechless as he looked at the mouse hand that seemed to be playing dead.
When he held the mouse for the first time just now, this thing indeed instantly turned into a terrifying ghost hand, and held Luo Xi's fingers tightly.
But no one knew what happened. The moment the ghost hand held Luo Xi, it suddenly let go as if it had been electrocuted, and then it never held him again.
She would even actively avoid Luo Xi's 'hand holding'.
Luo Xi could naturally see that a handshake was a special kind of "spiritual connection".
Similar to Lin Qiqi's 'Soul Link'.
Therefore, it will definitely not work if the opponent's ghost hand does not cooperate.
"Why are you hiding?" Luo Xi asked the ghost hand that stretched out from the hole in the table.
The ghost hand didn't answer, it just dodged. Even when Luo Xi tried to grab it forcibly, it actually shrank back into the hole on the table.
The mouse dug a hole and disappeared.
Luo Xi frowned.
This is a bit troublesome.
If I can’t hold the ghost hand (mouse), how can I control the computer? If I can’t control the computer, how can I proceed to the next step?
He stood up immediately.
The black curtain around was also torn apart immediately. Looking at the left and right sides, Lin Qiqi and An Zhiyan were already "in the mood". Like everyone else around them, they had wooden expressions and stared at the mosaic screen motionlessly.
Like lost soul.
"Network administrator!" Luo Xi yelled at this time.
"What's wrong?" The voice of the network administrator came from far ahead.
"It doesn't work. I can't enter the game. Please take a look at it quickly." Luo Xi said louder.
"Wait a minute!" The network administrator's voice was filled with impatience.
Then the young man with glasses walked over, first looked at Luo Xi, and then looked at Unit 47.
"Why can't I get in?" "The mouse is gone."
"." The network administrator was stunned for a moment, then looked at Luo Xi again, and then said: "I'll change the mouse for you."
After saying that, he ran away, but came back soon with a mouse in his hand. Then he pulled open the sofa seat and crawled under the table.
After struggling for a while, he climbed out and clapped his hands.
"Okay, there will be no problem this time. I've replaced it with a high-end product for you." After saying that, he ran away again.
This guy seemed to be in a hurry, absent-minded and perfunctory in his work.
Luo Xi felt that if he were the owner of an Internet cafe, he would definitely ask this guy to pack up and leave.
Sit down again and watch again.
That mouse turned into another ghost hand.
How should I put it, it does look "higher-end" than the previous one. They are all hands, with good bone structure and good skin. The previous one was indeed very ordinary, but this one is more than enough to be a hand model.
This time the handshake went smoothly. The ghost hand, which was as delicate as a hand model, did not "reject" Luo Xi like the last one, but instead held hands very "enthusiastically". Luo Xi could finally see the "Yonghui Supermarket" icon on the computer screen.
Click to enter!
After a dizzying feeling of weightlessness, he arrived in the dark and terrifying wilderness.
What followed was a cold wind, and the sharp ghost claws hidden in the wind began to attack indiscriminately.
But after Luo Xi discovered that this kind of attack would only scratch some flesh as long as it protected some vital points, he became too lazy to pay attention to it.
These are all interferences.
In order to delay time, he heard the bell, found the direction sign, and walked quickly towards the northeast.
The whole process went smoothly, and then Luo Xi saw the ancient bell tower and the 'Dragon King' standing under the bell tower.
The Dragon King looked drowsy, probably because he sensed someone coming. He began to mutter again: "The dragon of Chen wears star armor, dancing with traces of time and space, the dragon ball reflects the universe, and its majesty is shocking."
This time, before it could finish speaking, it froze.
Because it saw Luo Xi, the next moment, the Dragon King's drooping eyelids immediately widened, and in an instant, its aura was completely different from before.
At this time, Luo Xi walked closer, looked at the Dragon King, and then looked at the big bell.
"Let me tell you a joke. In a mental hospital, the director held a meeting with the patients and said that the leader would come to inspect today. He asked them to applaud when he raised his hands and stop when he lowered his hands. If they did a good job, they would have meat buns for lunch. But then the leader came and the director raised his hand."
"I want to play a game with you!" The Dragon King interrupted Luo Xi's story at this time.
Luo Xi was stunned.
This is not what was expected.
There is no riddle about 'Yongge Supermarket' that mentions playing games with the Dragon King.
"What game?" Luo Xi asked.
The Dragon King didn't waste any words. He seemed to have completely lost the decadent and drowsy feeling he had before. At this moment, he seemed to be in full spirits.
Then the Dragon King took out a stack of cards from his arms.
Unfold.
Five in total.
The backs are exactly the same, with only Chinese characters written on the front, namely the five words "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth".
"After shuffling the cards, you and I will each draw a card, and we will compete according to the principle of the Five Elements of Yin and Yang. It's best of three. If you win, you get a reward; if you lose, I eat you. But I need to remind you that this game can only be triggered once. Even if you come again on the next cycle day, it will not be triggered again."
The Dragon King spoke in a low voice and spoke very seriously.
"Drawing cards, is it a matter of luck?" Luo Xi asked.
"No, I haven't finished explaining the rules yet." The Dragon King shook his head. "We each randomly draw a Yin-Yang card of the Five Elements. Do not show it to the other party. Make sure the card is turned upside down so that only you can see it. Then, according to the rules of the Yin-Yang of the Five Elements, that is, metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, and fire overcomes metal, judge in your mind whether your card can overcome the other party's card."
"The next most important step is to make an announcement. That is, make your own judgment based on your own cards and say either "I guess I can defeat you" or "I guess I am defeated by you.""
"I see. If I draw 'fire' and announce 'I guess I can defeat you', and you draw 'gold' and you also announce 'I guess I can defeat you', then the actual result is that I win; if under the same premise, you announce 'I guess I'm defeated by you', then it also meets the result, you and I both guessed correctly, and it's a draw; there is another situation, if I announce 'I guess I'm defeated by you' and you also announce 'I guess I'm defeated by you', then you win. So the judgment condition for winning is whether the personal judgment meets the result of the duel of the drawn cards. But there is another possibility in this game, that is, I draw 'water' and you draw 'wood'. There is no relationship between the two, so is it a draw? But in this case, whether you announce 'I guess I can defeat you' or 'I guess I'm defeated by you', it is not correct. Is it also a draw?"
"Yes, it's a draw. That's the rule." The Dragon King nodded. "The only outcome is a win, a loss, or a draw. Once either side wins twice, the game is over."
"Can I not play?" Luo Xi asked, "I feel that this has nothing to do with whether I go to Yongge Supermarket or not. Logically, there should be a higher degree of freedom here, and I can refuse."
"No, we must play." The Dragon King immediately shook his head.
"Let's start." Luo Xi looked at the five cards in the other party's hand.
"Don't worry, all games during the Day of Confinement are subject to the 'rules' and cheating is not allowed. Therefore, the cards are just simple cards without any markings on them." The Dragon King seemed to see what Luo Xi was thinking.
It shuffled the cards and then asked Luo Xi to shuffle the cards as well.
"What's there to shuffle with five cards?" Luo Xi smiled and just cut the cards randomly: "Who goes first?"
"There is no limit to this, anyone can go first."
"Well, I'll draw first." Luo Xi said, reaching out and picking up a card.
Then, the Dragon King shuffled the order of the cards again, and then randomly drew a card from the remaining four cards.
Check the five elements of the cards respectively.
"Actually, you are Jiachen, right?" Luo Xi asked while looking at the card.
