Cheng Ye and Wei Shengan returned home with a full load.
In the last gamble, they won 1.5 million chips, deducted 15% of the water money, and got 1.275 million points.
Wei Sheng'an took the change and said it would be regarded as what Cheng Ye owed him last time with interest.
Even so, Cheng Ye has successfully entered the ranks of millionaires.
He saw that his player ranking had reached 30th place.
It turns out that with more than one million points, you can rank close to the top 30.
Cheng Ye was a little emotional.
It’s really hard to earn points in this game.
With just one million, you can join the top 50 richest people...
Also, players in the game are actually ranked using points.
Simply use points to rank, rather than comprehensive ability...
...So do points have any special meaning?
Will there be any preferential treatment for the top ten? What’s special about first place?
Cheng Ye lowered his eyes.
Forget it, he doesn't need to think about this now.
Hurry up and complete the upgrade tasks, and then gradually become a high-level player.
What needs to be known will always be known.
Only by constantly working hard can he get closer to his memory.
Since the game is so secretive about his memory, it shows the importance of his memory.
"Let's go." Cheng Ye said softly.
The two people walked out of the casino one after the other just as they came.
After a while.
They returned to the entrance of the casino.
At the entrance of the casino, only the warm orange light was swaying gently.
It only seems to illuminate such a large area.
I only want people to observe this small area.
It was pitch black all around, like a rare night.
Gives people endless peace of mind.
Cheng Ye looked deeply into the distance, but actually couldn't see anything. All the light was completely swallowed up at a certain distance.
Nothing is reflected back.
"What did you remember?" Wei Sheng'an smiled lazily as he watched Cheng Ye stand still.
Cheng Ye shook his head: "Not yet."
He really didn't think of anything.
But, it still feels a bit familiar.
This place felt familiar, the way he played cards was familiar, and the rough waves hidden in the dark also felt familiar to him.
But there was nothing but nothing.
Wei Sheng'an remained silent. He clicked on the panel at the door and selected the main city area: "Then go home?"
Cheng Ye stretched out his hand to stop Wei Sheng'an: "Where is the place to do the task?"
Wei Sheng'an raised a smile: "Are you going to do the task now?"
Cheng Ye nodded.
It's not very tiring, and he can rest during the mission. Now he just wants to become a mid-level player.
Once he noticed a clue, he couldn't stop.
The most urgent thing now is to retrieve his memory.
He had a vague feeling that when he retrieved his memory, he would know how to leave the game.
"It's in the mission area, I'll take you there." Wei Sheng'an clicked back and forth on the panel, and then changed to the mission area.
[This transfer fee is 100 points, please confirm. 】
Weishengan clicked to confirm.
After a while, Cheng Ye and Wei Sheng'an returned to the mission area.
The most conspicuous panel in the mission area hangs high in the air.
The number of people online and the death toll are being updated in real time.
Only this time, the number of people online has not increased significantly.
Number of people online: 346891352
It will remain at more than 300 million and will not increase.
But……
Death toll: 293874693
The death toll is nearly 300 million more than last time.
This means that the game has attracted 600 million people, half of whom are already dead.
Moreover, if we don’t continue to attract people, the number of people online will become less and less.
Because the mortality rate is unprecedented.
Cheng Ye squinted his eyes.
He didn't know why, but he felt waves of sadness.
This sadness spread from the bottom of my heart to my limbs.
Weaving through all the nerve endings in detail.
He couldn't help but shudder.
Nearly 300 million people died, which means that this aggressive death has exceeded the worldwide disease of that year——
smallpox.
At present, more people have died in this game than picks.
This is so helpless and deeply regrettable.
Cheng Ye lowered his head and sighed deeply.
He looked away from the panel and looked around.
There are still many people gathering in the square, people coming and going, some are sad and some are happy.
Many people are sunbathing (actually repairing their injured bodies.)
There are also a lot of people, just coming to see this panel.
Perhaps they were in the same state of mind as Cheng Ye at this moment.
Wei Sheng'an has been standing next to Cheng Ye.
I don't know why, but he has extraordinary understanding and patience towards Cheng Ye.
He didn't show any surprise or impatience when Cheng Ye was inexplicably distracted these times.
It will always be like this now, seemingly seeing through something, standing aside and waiting silently.
Finally, Cheng Ye calmed down his emotions.
He returned to his original appearance and joked with Wei Sheng'an: "Didn't you say you would take me on an upgrade mission?"
"What, you don't want to fulfill your wish?"
Hearing the word wish, Wei Sheng'an was slightly startled.
But he was only slightly startled.
He immediately returned to his normal expression, making it impossible for anyone to notice that he had just lost his composure.
He smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go, the sun is so strong, I'll burn myself to death."
Wei Sheng'an was familiar with the road and turned towards the alley with Cheng Ye.
The two of them walked through many alleys, twisting and turning, but still didn't arrive.
Cheng Ye was speechless: "Is it so complicated to apply for an upgrade task?"
Wei Sheng'an smiled: "The rent on the main street is too expensive, so these official service stations are all in the alleys."
"What if I can't find it?" Cheng Ye asked.
It may be difficult for newcomers who come here for the first time.
"This problem didn't exist before. There were veteran players helping us." Wei Sheng'an answered quickly: "But now there is this problem."
"A large number of newcomers have come in, and the old players don't have the time and energy to guide them one by one, so now the newcomers are basically left to fend for themselves."
"There should be many newcomers who have completed three tasks but still don't know that they need to do the upgrade tasks." Cheng Ye thought.
"You should know that the NPC in the newcomer's dungeon will tell them, but... they don't know the location..." Wei Sheng'an pointed at the players standing at different intersections in the alley.
They held signs that said information consultation, 5 points at a time.
Cheng Ye was speechless and choked.
There are really many ways to make money.
With Wei Sheng'an leading him, Cheng Ye soon came to a dilapidated small house.
This house, if it weren't for the recruitment sign with a job application area, you wouldn't know it was special at all.
It's just an ordinary residential building, except that the door is replaced by a glass door, and a "Opening" sign is hung on the door.
Cheng Ye opened the door.
The door was extremely old and creaked very loudly.
Even though Cheng Ye pushed the door gently, there was still a harsh sound.
What followed was the sound of wind chimes ringing.
The whole room felt dusty, just because the door was opened, a lot of dust was raised.
Cheng Ye narrowed his eyes and walked to the front desk.
There is no one at the front desk, but there is a call bell.
And the snoring that can be heard after walking in.
Cheng Ye shook his head helplessly. These NPCs were really no different from real people.
Never let it go when you can be lazy and take advantage of it.
Cheng Ye clicked the call bell.
Soon a deafening voice sounded in the small room:
"Ding, please wait a moment, the staff is on the way!"
"Ding, please wait a moment, the staff is on the way!"
"Ding, please wait a moment, the staff is on the way!"
…
The sound rang over and over again, and Cheng Ye couldn't help but block his ears.
I have to say that although the staff is very fishy, they are still very dedicated.
I used such a loud calling bell because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to wake up.
Soon, Cheng Ye heard the sound of tidying up in the back room.
There are even two clear slap sounds.
It is not difficult to imagine that this staff member did anything to make himself sober.
Soon a man came out of the back room: "Are you here to apply for a mission?"
Cheng Ye nodded.
So far, he has completed three dungeons plus the newbie dungeon, so it stands to reason that he can complete the upgrade mission.
The man didn't say anything. He quickly took out a form from the table and asked Cheng Ye to fill it out.
There is nothing special about the form, it just contains information such as real name, address and ID.
Cheng Ye looked at his watch and then at the man.
Pretending not to see the red slap marks on the man’s face…
Lower your head and fill it out carefully.
After Cheng Ye filled out the form and handed it to the man, the man waved his hand and asked Cheng Ye to wait patiently.
While waiting, Cheng Ye took the time to look at the cabin.
The house is small and the rent should be very cheap.
In the past, this house should have been small but not messy.
But now socks are thrown around carelessly, clothes are piled on the sofa, and hangover beer bottles are not put away.
It's completely like an otaku's room.
"Not many people have applied for tasks recently?" Cheng Ye asked casually.
The man didn't change his head and sighed: "I don't know what happened recently. The death rate has increased greatly, which has caused many people to not dare to apply for tasks. They would rather go back and forth in the primary dungeon to save money and survive. That’s it.”
Cheng Ye smiled.
This is human nature.
Just like when most people can only earn 3k-4k, they will not think about borrowing hundreds of thousands to make risky investments.
Unless you are forced to a certain level.
It's the same in games.
Many people's mentality has been smoothed out, and they think that they can survive as long as they can.
As long as we can survive, we will see the light of day one day.
But Cheng Ye was different. He didn't want to put this hope on others. He wanted to dig out the clues to leave here by himself.
Cheng Ye narrowed his eyes and felt a little dazed for a moment.
The man clicked without knowing what he was typing. After a moment, he handed Cheng Ye a card: "This is the key to the upgrade mission. You can just tear it apart whenever you want."
"The upgrade tasks are randomly generated in the game based on your own experience. The degree of simplicity or difficulty is up to you."
Cheng Ye took the card.
The card is black and surrounded by golden rims that sparkle.
There is nothing on the card.
Unlike the cards on the page when selecting a copy, it has a pattern and an introduction, allowing people to roughly guess what the copy will look like.
This is a pure black card with nothing, making people confused.
Cheng Ye and Wei Sheng'an left the hut.
The two returned to the dizzy alley.
"When are you going to do the upgrade mission?" Wei Sheng'an asked softly.
Cheng Ye thought for a while: "Just for a while."
He didn't know why, but he wanted to have a drink temporarily, and then download the dungeon after finishing the drink.
Wei Sheng'an nodded: "You should pay more attention to your own safety. The upgrade task is different from other copies... in short, it is a bit dangerous."
Cheng Ye smiled: "I know. Then, let's go have a drink together, or do you have something else to do?"
Wei Sheng'an gave a classic smile, as if he had seen through Cheng Ye: "Are you going to leave me alone to go to the dungeon when you are having a good time drinking?"
Cheng Yeyi must retaliate: "After all, you said last time that you got drunk and asked me to pay for the treat."
"..." Wei Sheng'an was speechless: "How long did it take you to remember more than 10,000 points?"
"That was half of the money I only had at that time." Cheng Ye said solemnly.
Wei Sheng'an waved his hand, how could there be such a cunning brother: "Ah, okay, okay, then we are brothers who have died."
Cheng Ye smiled slightly: "Then...are you going now?"
"Go ahead." Wei Sheng'an shook his head: "I have to let you trick me, or what if you stab me in the dungeon?"
"That won't happen. After all, you have already paid me back the money." Cheng Ye said with a smile: "Last time I cleared the tracker, the points I wanted were already deducted. What I will give you this time is also plus interest."
Wei Sheng'an chuckled: "I know."
Cheng Ye was just joking.
The two of them walked towards the nearest tavern. The more it was in an alley, the more fireworks there were.
They just wanted to find an ordinary pub to relax.
Only Wei Sheng'an and Cheng Yeli knew it, although they both faced the upcoming upgrade tasks with smiles.
However, the upgrade task is different from the copy.
It is a completely personal game.
He is truly a frightening creature.
The dangers and fears here can only be known after personal experience.
Just like some people are afraid of spiders, some people are afraid of snakes.
If you throw someone who is afraid of snakes into a dungeon full of spiders, it might be fine.
But if you throw a non-venomous snake into the bed of a person who is afraid of snakes, it will make people tremble with fear and become extremely frightened.
This is the fear of upgrading a copy.
Between the two of them, no one could predict what would happen to the upgraded copy.
Even if Wei Sheng'an passed the upgrade mission, he didn't have any experience to share with Cheng Ye.
After all, everyone has different fears.
His experience meant nothing.
He was afraid of seeing the dark night, even a little bit. What was the point of telling Cheng Ye?
His upgrade mission was the darkest week he'd ever spent, spending seven days without any daylight.
For him, it was extremely depressing, painful, uncomfortable, and made him want to die...
But what about Cheng Ye?
Perhaps, it's not worth mentioning.
So the two simply kept silent about the upcoming upgrade tasks, and just toasted each other and talked about other things.
Cheng Ye didn't know when he would tear up the cards and enter the game.
This may be their last meeting, or it may be a new beginning.
all in all.
In this upgrade game, Cheng Ye can only rely on himself.
Now, as long as they talk happily, it's no different from the past.
This is the best, blessing.
