Chapter 651 Separate Actions
"Urine is the tears of the bladder." He looked sad and his expression was uglier than if he had eaten shit.
Seeing her expression, Qin Shang smiled immediately. His shrewd facial features were hidden in the moonlit night, and were made complex and profound by the sparse light. He raised his hand and patted the girl's shoulder, holding the 'lollipop' in his mouth, and whispered;
"The organization has chosen you, go ahead, Pikachu!"
"Don't you want to clear this dungeon and get the 'Chain of Cause and Effect' to cure your mother's illness? You won't be able to get MVP in this dungeon just by luck or by winning without doing anything!"
"By then, maybe the item 'Chain of Karma' will become a clearing reward for someone among the other eight people!"
"The items rewarded by the Divine Path are directly put into the inventory, and there is no public announcement to tell us who got what reward. You can't really wait until the end of the dungeon and go to interrogate them one by one, asking if they got the item 'Chain of Karma', right? Let's not talk about whether they will tell you the truth. Even if they tell you the truth, you think the dungeon has been cleared. If you return to reality and try to snatch the items by force, can your [Reputation] withstand it?"
Qin Shang's language skills are pretty good, and he is very familiar with the carrot and stick tactics. With just two sentences, he frightened the originally reluctant 'Urine is the teardrops of the bladder'. Of course, 'Urine is the teardrops of the bladder' would never have dreamed that this cockroach-like brother with jade feet had no intention of letting any player who was competitive with him survive past the seventh day when he entered the dungeon this time, except for Master Zheng!
Finally, the girl gritted her teeth, thinking that what he said seemed to make some sense, so she nodded obediently.
Wu Shiqi is currently just an ordinary person in this background board, and does not pose much of a deterrent to the players of the God Road. Although 'Urine is the Teardrops of the Bladder' may be of poor combat ability, according to Qin Shang's speculation, if he is not mistaken, the players of both camps in this confrontational copy not only belong to two different camps, but also the identities set by everyone in the copy are very likely to have a certain degree of connection with their camps.
For example, Qin Shang naturally obtained the identity of "Wu Shiqi's lover" in the copy.
Well, since 'Urine is the teardrop of the bladder' is also a player in Wu Shiqi's camp, her identity in the dungeon is probably related to Wu Shiqi. It is estimated that she is probably either a relative or a close friend of Wu Shiqi...
But Qin Shang is more inclined to the latter.
After all, according to Dean Avicii, Wu Shiqi was also an orphan taken in by the monastery in the 70s.
Then perhaps in this background world, Wu Shiqi's family had been broken up and she had no relatives more than 20 years ago.
However, the girl who had just been full of fighting spirit suddenly spoke timidly in the blink of an eye;
"Then, what if Wu Shiqi doesn't want to tell me?"
"That depends on your own language skills. If you, a modern person, can't even make up a story to fool a little girl who lived in the last century, then you've been here in vain. Don't forget why you came to this dungeon."
The young man rolled his eyes and snorted in annoyance.
This little girl was hesitant. To put it bluntly, she still wanted to win by following him. However, it was not that Qin Shang would not let her. Rather, at the moment, the value that "urine is the teardrop of the bladder" could provide by continuing to follow him was not great. The security staff's night patrol work might make it difficult to obtain clues to advance their own solo side quests. It was best for the two of them to act separately.
As for the group of people including the female reporter, Qin Shang did not expect them to advance the main storyline too much. The reason was the same as before. Don't forget, this is a dungeon, and the players' ability to form a team is not based on personal charm and personal prestige. The only reason those people were willing to follow the female reporter, besides the fact that she was a priest player, was that she could provide certain value.
If other players later find that the female reporter can no longer provide any other value, then their temporary group will soon fall apart...
Of course, although those people are unlikely to advance the main storyline much, they are not completely worthless to Qin Shang.
After all, Qin Shang actually has another trick up his sleeve.
It was just that he didn't feel that he had reached that level yet. In addition, the dungeon had stated at the beginning that the required period was seven days. In other words, everyone had to survive in the dungeon for at least seven days. Maybe other players still had some surplus value, so Qin Shang didn't do anything unconventional, otherwise...
Don't forget, this is a copy.
Killing people here will not deduct any [Reputation] points.
If you want to get the clues in that group of people's hands, there is a very simple way.
kill.
【inherit】!
They are both public enemies and fraudsters!
A dead player can provide little value to other professions, with the exception of the Trickster profession.
What Qin Shang likes most is encountering dead people in the dungeon.
But now is not the time...
First, killing people directly is too risky and easy to be surrounded. The world view timeline in the copy has only passed less than a day. Although Qin Shang has done a lot of things since entering the copy, it has not even been 24 hours.
Therefore, these people may not have any clues, and Qin Shang blindly guessed that relying on killing teammates to [inherit] other people's main quests would most likely cause some backlash in the plot. For example, suppose... what if one of the remaining players is the lover of the monastery abbot Avicii in the dungeon?
That was a "developer" who still retained consciousness. Although she didn't have a character card, Qin Shang didn't believe that this middle-aged blonde girl had been in this copy for so long and didn't know if there were any major weapons of mass destruction.
What I'm saying is, what if, in the background world view of this copy, there is a batch of modern hot weapons stored somewhere...
Could it be that the price of angering Dean Avicii would be that Qin Shang would be carried away by a single shot of "Truth"?
Therefore, unless he is at his wit's end, Qin Shang does not need to rely on killing teammates to obtain new clues in the short term.
"Let me give you a clue. Tonight Wu Shiqi claimed that she would come to the monastery to pray, but you also saw that when we were playing the game of finding friends, there was no one in the monastery. So Wu Shiqi definitely did not come to the monastery. Perhaps the monastery she mentioned may not be the same place as the monastery we understand. Maybe it represents some kind of code word or a specific place of her own..."
The next moment, Qin Shang said lightly towards the tears in his bladder.
After saying this, Qin Shang sighed helplessly when he saw that 'Urine is the tears of the bladder' was a little confused, blinking his big eyes with an awkward and puzzled look on his face.
After dealing with smart people like Yin Shisan for too long, Qin Shang gradually realized that sometimes when he interacted with other people, most of them often found it difficult to keep up with the pace of his thinking, so he patiently explained again.
"It's the same as the concept of a wife. My wife and your wife are not the same person!"
"Do you understand?"
"?"
What?
As soon as these words came out, 'Urine is the teardrops of the bladder' showed a question mark face.
The pink lips twitched, and finally [whispered] a response.
"I don't have a wife. I'm single, and I'm a girl. Shouldn't my married partner be called husband?"
Qin Shang;...
You're such a fucking talent.
He is now becoming more and more confused. How much water is in Chen Boxu's brain that would allow 'Urine is the teardrop of the bladder' to come to this copy?
Exhaling a breath of hot air, Qin Shang rubbed his cheeks, repeatedly emphasizing in his heart, "Calm down, you must calm down." After adjusting his emotions, he spoke seriously.
"For example, if I say I want to go home to find my mother, the mother I'm looking for is not the same as the mother you're looking for. Mother is just a name, but the mother I'm referring to is specifically my mother, and the mother you're referring to is specifically your mother."
“The monastery that Wu Shiqi mentioned may not be the same place as the monastery we know.”
After these words came out, 'Urine is the tears of the bladder' finally showed a relieved look.
"Oh, I got it!"
This is what Qin Shang started to think about right after he finished the "Find Friends" game.
My identity in the copy is Wu Shiqi's lover. There is no need for a woman to lie to me, right?
There are many ways to lie, why choose the one that is easiest to be caught?
This is just as ridiculous as when a woman is having an affair and then tells you on Saturday that she has to work overtime at the company.
It’s not like you don’t know where your girlfriend works, and it’s not like your social circles have no overlap.
Whether she is going to the company on Saturday and whether there are people in the company are all things that can be found out with a quick check.
There are high risks and many uncontrollable factors in telling lies.
After all, there are three factors to consider when your girlfriend cheats.
First, the affair partner’s schedule.
Second, how should I hide it from my boyfriend?
Third, how to avoid arousing suspicion from both parties, and control your entry and exit time as well as the time of both parties to avoid any accidents.
In this world, it is very difficult to cheat both sides.
Therefore, most people who cheat will not tell lies that are easily exposed.
Usually, people who cheat will make excuses like "my best friend" or "my relative".
For example, "My college roommate is here to play with us today, I'm going to go shopping with her, I'm not sure what time I'll be home in the evening." Or, "My cousin is here, I'm going to entertain her, what? You said you want to go with us? That's not possible, my cousin is a big mouth, if she has any opinions about you, and tells my aunt, then everything will be over. Then my aunt will definitely tell my mom, you must be unlucky that my mom will have a bad impression of you before she even meets you'...
You see, people who cheat are very good at reserving uncertainty in their statements in advance.
For example, my best friend is here and I’m not sure what time she’ll be home.
At this time, even if you say you want to follow her, she can still claim that her best friend is an i person.
It is the MBTI test that has been very popular in the past two years. It seems to be used to test a person's personality.
Generally, most people are divided into two types, i-people and e-people.
In online slang, "i-person" refers to a person with an introverted and socially anxious personality, while "e-person" refers to a person with an extroverted and lively personality.
Then the meaning of this sentence is easy to understand.
My best friend is a very socially anxious person. You may feel uncomfortable following her. Boys generally have no excuse to continue this topic because they have been blocked. If they continue talking, it will easily turn into a trust crisis...
"Do you think I went out with someone else?"
"You don't trust me, do you?"
"Then I can't lose my freedom just because I'm in a relationship. My roommate is just here for a visit. Is it necessary for you to do this?"
Or, another excuse in the example, my cousin is here, and she is a busybody.
In fact, these two excuses are really panaceas. Not only are they easy to use, but they are also difficult to fail.
Here is a brief explanation of the terms. People who cause a lot of trouble have different names in different parts of the country.
In the north, people generally call her "shipo", while in the south, they seem to call her "shima" more often.
It is generally used to describe a very annoying person who likes to talk about others behind their backs. However, in the south, it seems that "Shi Ma" does not only describe women. Sometimes, if there is a male relative who is very nosy, people seem to use the word "Shi Ma" when referring to this person.
Adhering to the principle that less trouble is worse than more, most boys are helpless when faced with these two excuses.
This is a bit like a 'disclaimer', which is similar to the way netizens in the early years of forums would stack their armor before posting.
After that, on Saturdays, girls had a very reasonable excuse whether they came home late or did not come back due to some unexpected events.
"Didn't I tell you in advance? I might be back a little late..."
Wu Shiqi said that she came to the convent. What if I went to the convent to look for her later, and didn't see her, wouldn't I tell my girlfriend that I had to work overtime on the weekend, and then when I got downstairs to the company, I found that the entire company was not open on Saturday?
Wu Shiqi's lie was so easy to expose. Now when Qin Shang thinks back on it, he feels that Wu Shiqi didn't lie at all.
She didn't lie and said that she went to the monastery, but Qin Shang didn't see her in the monastery.
The only explanation seems to be...
The monastery that Wu Shiqi mentioned may not be the landmark building of the monastery...
Now thinking back to when he first entered the dungeon, there was something wrong that alerted Qin Shang.
It was probably the look of surprise on Wu Shiqi's face when I blurted out, "I want to go with you."
There is another point that Qin Shang has kept in his heart and has not mentioned, but he always feels that it may be related to the main storyline.
Wu Shiqi and her lover have been unable to have children. Didn’t Wu Shiqi claim at the time that she would pray in order to fulfill her wish of getting pregnant?
Qin Shang even had a bold guess.
Could it be that Wu Shiqi went to see some local charlatan or barefoot doctor in Jiangcheng for treatment?
Is that why you explicitly refused to let the couple go together?
"One more thing, you can try to visit the NPCs near this map. If you can't see Wu Shiqi, you can also ask other NPCs and try to find out from their mouths whether they have heard of the legend that this monastery is haunted. The long neck must be a key breakthrough. The core of the inquiry must revolve around information such as the child's tongue, the nun, and the hanged person..."
"We'll meet here again at 6:30 tomorrow morning!"
