The hotel staff delivered the food on time.
Wen Shi opened the panel while eating lunch to check the companion skills that he had not had time to look up before.
Skills go well with rice, double the deliciousness!
[Companion Skill: Wise
This skill is a limited skill and can be used 03 times per instance.
Points required for single use: 8000-16000
As the number of uses increases, the effects of "The Wise Are Not Confused", "The Wise Are Invincible", and "The Wise Do Not Fall in Love" can be activated.
The wise are not confused: Make the target hallucinate, reduce rationality, and those with low IQ will lose their sanity directly
Wise Invincible: Under this effect, your combat power is X2, limited to 2 minutes
A wise man does not fall in love: After using this skill, you will be able to resist all illusions and magic attacks except for special maps. A single use consumes 16,000 points and is limited to 5 minutes.
There was no sound in the hotel room for a full half minute, and the air was dead silent.
Wen Shi opened his mouth slightly, and was counting the harvest to make Ganfan even more enjoyable, but after seeing the skill, the dried fish in his hand fell directly to the ground.
"As expected…" His face was filled with indescribable emotion: "My eldest brother."
The eldest brother is always the eldest brother. He is naturally wild and difficult to tame, and he doesn't care about feelings.
The points consumed by this skill can definitely be described as burning money.
Wen Shi picked up the dried fish on the ground, calmed down and looked at it again. At present, he prefers the last effect. When he enters the illusion, he can break through the barrier in one second.
But for this one second, he normally has to complete two or three copies before he can get the corresponding points.
After lying on the bed for a while with mixed feelings, Wen Shi thought sadly that if this continued, he would have to work in the virtual world.
What can I do if I only know how to start a business? Go to a cat cafe?
"It's better to place more orders." He muttered.
After returning from the virtual world this time, Wen Shi could sense a distinct change in the atmosphere. Everyone was no longer as bored as before, occasionally squatting in front of the giant screen to watch the excitement. The square outside the teleportation point seemed much more deserted than before, clearly busy with their own things.
He had a vague feeling that the day when the special 3S copy would be online was not far away, and that more and more people would want to get clues from him.
"Alright, I'll get some wool from each dungeon."
The primitive accumulation of capital is always bloody and brutal.
Bent down by life, Wen Shi kept cheering himself up. There are so many poor people in the world, but success is within reach if you work hard!
With this belief, Wen Shi was full of confidence when he went to the tea party that afternoon.
The lighting in the library remained dim, but the old-fashioned bulbs had been replaced with a vintage chandelier. The luxurious artistic carvings were elegant, and the scattered rays of light reflected on the floor created a unique atmosphere. The walls were repainted a fresh tawny green, creating a pleasant visual experience. The round table was replaced with a fairytale-style mahogany table, with pine high stools placed to the side.
Xie Tangyan changed into a red dress today, which was rare. She tied her hair into a high ponytail, and looked heroic. Next to her, her grandmother wore a navy blue cheongsam and stood in the shadows. Her jade earrings were obviously worth a fortune.
The devil's younger brother was wearing a pure black suit. He and Yalin disliked each other by nature and kept a distance from each other. Even A Sang was wearing a formal suit and a beautiful bow tie.
Wen Shi: "…"
What happened?
There were footsteps behind him, and Jian Qingrong walked in with a camera and a tripod.
The mighty leopard circled the camera and said, "This looks a bit low-level. Are you sure you can include me in the film?"
Ordinary cameras cannot capture spiritual bodies.
Jian Qingrong said calmly, "It used to be used to take pictures of ghosts, and every picture was high definition."
Wen Shi seemed to finally understand what he was going to do: "Take a picture?"
The devilish younger brother picked up the red wine glass on the table and shook it: "We agreed on my brother's birthday. Let's take a photo together this time."
He looked particularly attractive in a suit, his fair profile gleaming with a mysterious hue under the light.
No one informed Wen Shi because they were planning to give him a surprise.
Wen Shi looked at the repaired data room and had only one thought in his mind: My factory has indeed started to make a profit.
I just don't know what products Jian Qingrong relies on to make a profit.
"Beauty serum." As if knowing what he was thinking, Jian Qingrong said, "It's very popular and doing very well overseas. It just recently went public in a country."
"…"Are you all listed?
Ah Sang raised his hand and added, "Because they separated the anti-aging substance from the blood I provided, they gave me something, original shares."
He was at the age where he was curious about everything: "Dad, does our country of Usa also have original shares?"
"…There will be."
Wen Shi forced a smile as he spoke. He thought hard work would bring success, but he didn't expect that he was actually working hard to witness others succeed.
"Let's take a photo first." Yaerlin noticed Wen Shi's embarrassment and spoke.
They each adjusted the height of their chairs. Grandma sat in the middle, Wen Shi sat on one side holding A Sang, and Jian Qingrong sat on the other side.
The devil brother's smile did not reach his eyes.
On a good day, he reminded himself not to fight.
There was no seat left next to Wen Shi, so the boy had to run to the other side, bend his long legs and sit there.
Yaerlin and Xie Tangyan stood in the back row, while the spirit body lay alone on the side in the front.
Jian Qingrong: "Who's going to adjust the camera?"
Wen Shi turned his head away.
Jian Qingrong said seriously: "If I go, my seat will be taken."
Wen Shi was about to laugh at him for being so childish, but he caught a glimpse of the boy's fierce gaze out of the corner of his eye.
"…"Okay, your suspicion is reasonable.
In the end, it was Yarlin who started the time-lapse photography.
He used his mental power to check the time and counted down: "Three, two... one!"
With a click, a family portrait is officially recorded.
Jian Qingrong finally decided to leave his seat and checked the photos. The results were quite natural and harmonious.
Wen Shi also took a closer look. Honestly, with so many handsome men and beautiful women, no matter how they were photographed, they wouldn't look bad. He said with considerable satisfaction, "Remember to give me a copy after you develop it."
Jian Qingrong nodded.
After the photo frame is made, it is hung on the wall as a decoration.
It was a rare occasion that everyone wore formal clothes. Wen Shi took individual photos with each person in turn, and also took a group of parent-child photos with A Sang.
The leisurely afternoon tea time was almost spent taking photos. Wen Shi was very satisfied with the party arrangement and still had a smile on his face until he was teleported back to the hotel.
As soon as he arrived in the virtual world, the communicator's signal was automatically restored. Seeing that there was a missed call from Ji Yuanzhi, Wen Shi called back.
I thought the hair issue had been resolved, but Ji Yuanzhi brought an unexpected news: "Pei Hongxin has entered the game."
The remaining smiles from the tea party disappeared, and Wen Shi walked to the French window, his delicate features slightly cold. "So soon?"
Ji Yuanzhi: "That leopard has the ability to make money. He makes a huge profit almost every other day. Anyone who accepts the game's 'kickback' will receive a ticket to the dungeon."
Another reason is that the majority of dungeon players are young, with fewer older players. Those over 35, who have access to media, will be assigned to dungeons as soon as possible.
This is actually a kind of hidden protection mechanism. As we age, our reaction and physical strength will gradually decrease.
Ji Yuanzhi privately asked someone to keep an eye on him: "Pei Hongxin's initial dungeon is a single-player dungeon, which shows that his luck is quite high."
This implies that if Wen Shi is not prepared to use violence to torture people to the point of collapse in the virtual world, there will be some risk in the copy.
No matter how powerful a player is, there is no guarantee that he can pass a dungeon 100%.
Wen Shi first thanked him for the reminder, and then asked about Pei Hongxin's recent situation.
"Much better than the average newcomer. It's not certain whether he has activated any skills yet." Ji Yuanzhi said, "He has a good reputation and is a celebrity. In the eyes of others, Pei Hongxin is a philanthropist."
There are also many players from Tianhai City in the virtual world. Although they are just names in name only, the money Pei Hongxin spent is real, and there are also several people who have received his favor.
Wen Shi thought for a moment and said, "It seems I have to hurry up and find a way to team up with him."
Otherwise, with Pei Hongxin's cleverness, he would be very careful every step of the way after knowing that he was also in the game.
"I've found an opportunity for you," Ji Yuanzhi said. "Consider it compensation from the hotel. I've already bribed a player who has some connection to Pei Hongxin. I'll try to convince him to team up with you and go into the dungeon."
Ji Yuanzhi further explained the situation.
It turned out that this person had been funded by Pei Hongxin, and he contacted Pei Hongxin in the name of repaying a favor.
After seeing the miserable situation in the newcomer area, Pei Hongxin asked himself if he had anything else worth pursuing, so he believed this statement.
Ji Yuanzhi told Wen Shi specifically to remind him that he needed to pay attention to the players who were bribed.
A young man who can even betray his benefactor will definitely do anything to achieve his goals in the dungeon.
"He will contact you in the next two days to discuss the time for the next book."
"Thank you. I'll be careful."
After the call, Wen Shi began to look for scene skins related to the Kwaidan legend in the game store, and finally successfully purchased it by spending 300 points.
The price is much cheaper than other scene elements, and most players are unwilling to enter this kind of copy where their souls may be imprisoned forever if they make a mistake.
There will be a prompt when loading this kind of scene when forming a team. Ji Yuanzhi should have discussed it with the other party early on. Wen Shi remained calm and increased his vigilance. Although he also loves points, he is still different from this madman who values money over life.
That night, Wen Shi received a message from an unfamiliar number about the next book's date.
[How about the virtual square at 7pm the day after tomorrow?]
Wen Shi replied with an "OK".
Two days passed in a flash. During this time, Wen Shi had nothing to do, so he read some horror and ghost story materials to increase his understanding.
Before setting off, like most players, I slept during the day and took a quick shower near the time to ensure I was in the best mental state for the game.
The virtual world gets dark very quickly.
Around six o'clock, Wen Shi donned the game-provided [small cloak]. He didn't need to resort to disguises; many players in the dungeon preferred not to show their faces, so walking down the street wouldn't draw much attention.
He looked at himself in the mirror, his figure and temperament obscured by the wide cloak. The silver mask he bought from the mall covered most of his face. Finally, Wen Shi did not forget to pull the cloak down. Only when he deliberately raised his head could others see the clear cat eyes beneath the cloak.
With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Wen Shi was very satisfied with his new look and turned to leave the hotel.
