Wen Shi looked around and saw that almost every player had a look of relief on their face, confirming that everyone had received the notification sound.
He asked Yu Xingzhou who was nearby: "Do you have the key?"
Yu Xingzhou nodded: "It's your choice."
"Self-selected?"
The cool air passed through his lungs, and the skin color of Yu Xingzhou's exposed hands also paled a little.
"I don't know about other people's situations, but mine is related to my family. It includes being able to skip skill quests after entering a dungeon, directly getting good skills, and reducing the difficulty of the game."
Wen Shi was stunned for a moment: "Same as that time at the plastic surgery hospital?"
In the plastic surgery hospital, Zhen Ling asked them to choose between the two.
"Yes." Yu Xingzhou said, "But I chose the key."
He chose to exchange in the plastic surgery hospital because the true spirit of the object did not have so many twists and turns.
The true spirits here like to deceive people. The benefits given by the other party are real, but the way they are given is not certain, especially when it comes to issues such as believers and exchanges.
If he agreed, there was a high probability that his brother would be recruited as a True Spirit believer after entering the dungeon. Just like the exchange of benefits when they changed jobs, skills would not be distributed without reason.
Wen Shi agreed with this.
"Believers will be affected by the true spirit's personality, and the situation will get worse."
Song Yan had already given up his right to possess the key. Wen Shi looked at Li Nan again, suddenly curious: "Do you have a choice this time?"
Li Nan shook his head. His key was directly in the settlement reward.
"…" There really wasn't the slightest bit of surprise.
As the dungeon was about to begin, Wen Shi began to worry about the hospital's management. What would happen to the hospital if he, the dean, was teleported away? As if a thought had occurred to him, Wen Shi opened the attribute panel.
In addition to the [Kingdom], the panel has added the [Frank Hospital] interface.
Frank Hospital (under construction and maintenance)
Doctor: -1
Nurse: -44
Gatekeeper: -1
Unfair benefit transfer: 1 (Count)
Tip: There is a shortage of staff in the hospital. Please recruit as soon as possible.
Wen Shi's smile was forced. This isn't a hospital, it's a ruin, right? He was the only sponsor.
The game officially entered the final minute of the transmission countdown. Wen Shi looked at Jian Qingrong and said, "We may need to send people here from the big factory later."
Then let's see if we can negotiate with Song Yan and the Mirror Spirit to get one of the Sheep-Headed Security Guards from the Plastic Surgery Hospital to do patrol or doorman duties.
"After you leave the factory, I have trained a group of nursing home workers who can start working directly."
Seeing Wen Shi's ambition for Frank Hospital, Jian Qingrong had already helped him find staff in advance. For a special place like this, it is safer to use one's own people rather than recruiting workers from one's own side.
Wen Shi was stunned for a moment, then looked at him deeply for a long moment, leaving four words: "See you at the tea party."
In less than a day, Wen Shi experienced multiple teleportation experiences. Before the world completely disappeared, he saw Yu Xingzhou talking to Song Yan and guessed that the other party was preparing to let his brother enter the copy.
According to the previous agreement, Song Yan will help with a few missions.
Within a few seconds, the image of the two people talking completely disappeared, and Wen Shi completely left the copy dimension where the hospital was located. The strong feeling of weightlessness gradually disappeared, and when the world became bright again, he returned to the square in the virtual world.
Wen Shi keenly noticed that the climate had changed and the temperature seemed to have risen a lot.
According to what I saw and heard in my father's memory, when the theme was the Ten Commandments, the virtual world was in winter, then it transitioned to the foggy spring when it moved to the hospital, and now it seems to be transitioning to summer.
Everything became heated.
"How cruel." Song Yan suddenly shook his shoulders, looking uncomfortable.
Players were extremely interested in the 3S instance, and when they formed a team to participate in the instance, the screen displayed the participating player's numbers, just as usual. Song Yan's number exposed the new player's identity, causing an immediate uproar.
New players can't be automatically accepted into high-difficulty dungeons by the game, so the only way to enter is to form a team. However, team spots are precious, and no one wants to waste them just to find cannon fodder to test the rules.
Now that he had come out alive, the attention he received was almost comparable to when Wen first entered the virtual world.
Yu Xingzhou glanced around indifferently, and the wild and malicious gazes around him retreated a lot.
"The hotel's security needs to be strengthened recently."
People die for money, and among these people, there must be many players who want to take the risk and sneak in to gain benefits from Song Yan.
Li Nan returned to his guild halfway, while Wen Shi and others walked all the way to the hotel.
"Let's visit the sponsor first."
Yu Xingzhou: "It's best to wait two days. After using the death substitute, Ji Yuanzhi will be in a half-dead state for at least a week."
The other party now needs a quiet rest environment.
Wen Shi felt a surge of sympathy for Ji Yuanzhi, having not expected the side effects to be so severe. Ji Yuanzhi's entire journey could be described as taking on the fiercest enemies, sustaining the heaviest wounds, and receiving the least reward.
There were no points awarded for direct elimination, and even if a super artifact was obtained, it would definitely have to be handed over to the guild. Yu Xingzhou also produced a death substitute. Thinking about this, running a large guild was really difficult.
"Fortunately, my existing assets are all in ruins." Wen Shi narrowed his eyes: "I deal with the land, and Jian Qingrong deals with the construction. It's perfect." The big factory is developing very well now.
While mumbling, he had already walked out of the hotel room. Wen Shi turned to Song Yan, who was swiping his card across the street, and said, "I might not be here later. You're in the middle of this storm, so try not to go out."
Song Yan nodded.
After entering the house, he took off his bloodstained white coat, took a shower, changed into clean clothes and sent out an invitation to the tea party.
The key from the zombie's belly hadn't been retrieved yet, and his player status remained intact, but he wasn't sure if he'd need to continue playing dungeons. All of this depended on the game's subsequent arrangements, and Wen Shi couldn't think any further. He simply leaned back in his chair, emptying his mind and waiting for tea time.
4:30, in the information room of the sanatorium.
Wen Shi was the last one to arrive today. The light from the retro chandelier above his head was just right. When everyone below saw Wen Shi appear, there was a smile in the corners of their eyes and eyebrows.
Wen Shi also smiled and nodded. He noticed a few sunflowers on the cardamom green wall out of the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but walk over and found that the color had not yet solidified. It was obviously the work of Jian Qingrong.
Wen Shi suddenly felt that Jian Qingrong would one day remember everything about No. 83. It would probably not be easy for the game to easily erase the Lord of Terror's memory.
"Is everything going well?" A cold female voice came.
"It's much better than I thought." Wen Shi looked at Xie Tangyan and realized belatedly that something was missing: "Where's the Earl?"
He clearly remembered to send the other party an invitation this time.
The old lady had been sitting at the mahogany table before. In the blink of an eye, she appeared behind Wen Shi and whispered, "She threw him down the stairs. It will probably take some time for him to climb back up."
The Earl is becoming more and more crazy, and his strength is further increasing. His current state can be described as "a man should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence". If this continues, he may really step into the threshold of true spirit.
However, Xie Tangyan obtained the "Mahayana Sword Technique".
Things in the world change so unpredictably.
Considering that there was still some improper transfer of benefits, Wen Shi said in a voice even smaller than the old lady's: "Don't cripple him."
Xie Tangyan nodded slightly. It was impossible for the other party to put an extra thing into the door for no reason. This meant that there was still something that could be exploited from the Earl. So she did not use the sword this time, but just threw the man down the stairs.
As they were talking, the half-closed door of the information room was pushed open again, and Jian Qingrong walked in from outside. He was previously busy with the labor dispatch to Frank Hospital.
After entering the door, Jian Qingrong and Wen Shi smiled at each other. This scene was noticed by the devilish boy. The pure white horns on his head suddenly looked sharp under the light, as if they would pierce through something at any time.
"Tsk..." Jian Qingrong sneered upon seeing this and stood directly beside Wen Shi.
His next words were addressed to Wen Shi, but his oppressive gaze was directed at the young man who was sitting on a high chair drinking tea.
"About my new identity..."
Wen Shi had said that he would show up here with a completely new identity. Jian Qingrong was even prepared to take Wen Shi's hand right in front of the boy.
Wen Shi sighed. The big factory copy only lasted three days in total, and the two of them had met only a few times. He didn't know how they had such a deep grudge against each other.
In terms of rank, the young man is still higher.
When Jian Qingrong's hand was about to touch Wen, he took the initiative and said, "Brother, we have prepared a gift for you."
The innocence on the devil's face at this moment was not a pretense. His tail was shaking gently, and it was obvious that he really hoped that this gift would bring Wen Shi a surprise.
"We've been negotiating for a long time."
Wen Shi's attention was indeed attracted.
"It's about traveling." Ayu whispered on the other side of the mahogany table, "In fact, many years ago, some of us accompanied you in your growth in various capacities, but you have never seen our world."
"...So we talked to that being, and you can randomly choose a world to go to and spend a day off."
Wen Shi's eyelids twitched slightly when he heard this.
Jian Qingrong reminded him: "...Sile."
The core of the last dungeon was the Ten Commandments of the Bible. The game has filled the language library, and many NPCs in the dungeon are proficient in foreign languages.
The hand that Jian Qingrong didn't shake was grabbed by a pair of small hands. Ah Sang looked up at him eagerly and said, "Dad, choose me! Come to my place and spend a day there. It's fun to be surrounded by zombies. If you go now, you can even catch a siege of the apocalypse."
It was obvious that he had rehearsed this passage in advance, as he spoke it in one breath without much stuttering.
"…"
Yaerlin, who had remained silent, shook his head. "What's the point of attacking a city? Why don't you come with me to the interstellar space? There are all kinds of spirits there, and the people are open-minded."
open?
Wen Shi warned himself not to over-interpret these two words as much as possible, but thinking of Yaerlin's style, he felt it necessary to think carefully.
The boy's words were filled with the faint aroma of green tea: "Although I have long hoped that my brother would come to my world, I will respect every choice he makes."
After his left eyelid, Wen Shi's right eyelid also started twitching.
Jian Qingrong: "…Sile."
"…"
Everyone was talking at once, and no one noticed when the count finally climbed up.
Wen Shi gently pressed his temples and called out to Yugi with a trembling voice, "Hey, are you there? Do you have any recommended worlds to buy? I'm willing to spend points."
A cold mechanical voice broke his dream: "No."
None of these worlds are recommended.
"…"
