The Earth is Online - Chapter 184

[Chapter 184]

June 6, 2018, 1:00 am.

In the silent city of Beijing, several black figures passed through the buildings at a very fast speed, quietly heading towards Dongcheng District. Their figures almost merged with the night, the breeze blew, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye. By five in the morning, more than thirty players had gathered near the Temple of Heaven in Dongcheng District.

Since the Black Tower version 2.0 updated the assembly copy, almost every month, the Black Tower will release a assembly copy.

Most staging instances are not life-threatening. The assembly copies released by each black tower are different, the tasks are different, the bosses are different, and the rewards are also different. Tang Mo participated in two assembly dungeons, one in Shanghai and one in Beijing.

However, this copy is a bit different.

The Temple of Heaven Park is located in the city center of Beijing. It is a flat area without too many buildings for shelter. A week ago, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo unanimously decided to participate in the game after Heita released the copy of this assembly. Even without Bai Ruoyao’s deliberate provocation, they would still choose to enter. Because there is a prerequisite for entering this copy——

“The entrant must get the ‘Christmas branch’ reward in the ‘Christmas Surprise Copy’ half a year ago.”

For half a year, Tang Mo had participated in and heard of the assembly copy, only the “Strange Circus copy” in Shanghai had conditions for entrants. According to Tang Mo’s experience, this kind of dungeon with entry barriers will generally be rewarded very generously. The content of the dungeon is also related to some secrets of the underground kingdom, and it can contact some relatively advanced monsters in the black tower. Tang Mo called this assembled copy a “special copy”.

The sky was getting brighter, and the four of Tang Mo hid in a small building in the Temple of Heaven Park, quietly staring at the Temple of Heaven Park not far away.

Both Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had seen Santa Claus before, and the difference in strength between the two was very large, and neither dared to underestimate it. Fu Wenduo gave Tang Mo his hand|gun, and Tang Mo also brought the king’s gold coins.

“The special copy is different from the ordinary assembly copy, and the possibility of death is very high.” Tang Mo said in a low voice. Strange Circus assembled dungeon, a total of 23 players entered, and only nine survived. “In this type of dungeon, life is the most important thing. Combined with previous experience, even if the assembled dungeon fails, most of them will not die, and there is still a chance to turn over.” So the most important thing is to save life.

Chen Shanshan and Fu Wensheng nodded in unison.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was getting closer and closer to 6:06.

Fu Wenduo pressed his body close to the window, his eyes calmly scanning the entire Temple of Heaven Park. The park was silent, the dark trees swayed slightly in the wind, but there was no sound. Fu Wenduo’s gaze stayed on a tree for a moment, then looked at the Temple of Heaven and the other two bungalows.

Fu Wenduo took Tang Mo’s hand and wrote the number “9” in his palm.

Then, he also wrote the same number on the backs of Chen Shanshan and Fu Wensheng’s hands.

Tang Mo was stunned and looked at him in surprise.

Fu Wenduo put his index finger on his lips, made a “shush” gesture, and pointed to the ceiling at the same time. Tang Mo instantly understood what he meant.

Tang Mo took out his mobile phone from his pocket and typed a line.

【Someone? 】

Fu Wenduo took over the phone: [Come earlier than us, I just discovered their existence. 】

Tang Mo’s expression sank.

Chen Shanshan took out a pen and paper from her bag and wrote: [Those who are eligible to come here are all players who have received the “Christmas Branch” reward. The returnees should not have participated in the Christmas dungeon. After half a year, many players who were rewarded at the beginning also died. There should be no more than fifty players in Beijing City who have the opportunity to enter this dungeon. 】

However, this also means that each player in this copy has a strength beyond the average level.

The “9” that Fu Wenduo just wrote down means that he found nine people hiding in the Temple of Heaven Park. But they knew that there were more players hidden so well that even Fu Wenduo couldn’t find them.

Tang Mo thought for a while, then typed the next word: [Wait. 】

Everyone nodded slightly.

Chaoyang completely jumped over the horizon, and there was still no one in the Temple of Heaven Park. Just as the time was approaching 6:06, with only one minute left, a black shadow suddenly jumped from behind a big tree and jumped into the square in front of the Temple of Heaven. The next moment, another dozen figures jumped over and landed firmly on the platform.

In the last ten seconds, a total of twenty-five players stood in front of the Temple of Heaven, staring vigilantly at the people around them.

Tang Mo heard the sound of breaking wind coming from above his head, and he knew that the person hiding on their head had also set off.

Without further ado, Tang Mo said, “Let’s go!”

The four of them jumped down from upstairs, Tang Mo carried Chen Shanshan on his back, Fu Wenduo carried Fu Wensheng, and the two ran at a terrifying speed to the square in front of the Temple of Heaven. As soon as Tang Mo stood firm, he saw Bai Ruoyao’s disgusting smiling face emerging from behind the Temple of Heaven, he smiled at him, and winked at him and Fu Wenduo.

Tang Mo narrowed his eyes, there was only one second left.

Suddenly, a figure that shouldn’t be here appeared in Tang Mo’s line of sight. He looked at the other party in astonishment. Before he could see the other party’s face clearly, a dazzling white light flashed in front of him. The crisp children’s voice of the black tower sounded——

“Ding Dong! Player Tang Mo successfully entered the assembly dungeon ‘Santa’s Strange Commercial Street’. As of 6:06 on June 6, 2018, a total of 31 players have successfully entered the dungeon, including 20 official players and 1 reserve. There were 7 stowaways and 3 returnees.”

The sound of the black tower reached the ears of all players. Although there was a white light in front of him, Tang Mo could hear an exclamation from his side.

There is a reserve force? !

…there are still returnees? !

So that was really Ning Zheng just now? !

“Ding dong! Assemble the copy of ‘Santa’s Strange Commercial Street’ Preliminary reminder: Santa Claus has never experienced such a bad Christmas. A good holiday for giving gifts to children, and being attacked by some shameless black tower monsters Destruction. This incident made Santa Claus very upset, and he didn’t have a good night’s sleep for half a year. So today, Santa Claus decided to give a real reward to the good children who were deceived by the bad boss. All who like Santa Claus, like The kids who play Santa’s games are honest kids. Santa won’t mess up this ‘Christmas special surprise’.”

Tang Mo suddenly felt a violent fall. When he was about to fall to the ground, he subconsciously supported the ground with one hand, trying to stabilize his body. The place where the finger touches is actually soft and elastic. Tang Mo lowered his head in surprise, and saw that the ground was a large trampoline with white and pink grids. After his body fell, he bounced a few times before he settled down.

After standing up, Tang Mo quickly checked the surrounding situation.

He saw Fu Wensheng!

Brother Fu’s speed was slower than Tang Mo’s. After he stabilized his body, he also saw Tang Mo with a surprised expression. Tang Mo wanted to look at the others, and at this moment, the mechanical voice of the black tower sounded in the room——

“Ding dong! Players officially entered the Trolley Commercial Street. Violence, abilities, and all props are prohibited in the commercial street. In the magical Trolley Commercial Street, players no longer have official players, reservists, smugglers and returnees. Players and other special identities, all players’ identities are tentatively set as preliminary customers. Friendly reminder: please find the right way for players to become official customers of Trolley Commercial Street as soon as possible.”

After these words fell, Tang Mo finally saw the other two people in the room.

It’s a small candy house with a bouncy gummy trampoline on the floor, biscuit walls and rock candy windows. The ceiling was a giant dome of chocolate. There was no furniture in the room, and the sweet scent pierced Tang Mo’s nose, causing him to frown.

There are only four people in this candy house.

Tang Mo, Fu Wensheng, a strange woman in black, and Ning Zheng.

That’s right, it’s Ning Zheng.

The four of them stood firm on the trampoline, stood in the four corners, and looked at others calmly.

Fu Wensheng was very happy when he saw Tang Mo at first, but after he found out that there were other people in the room, he quickly put away his surprised expression. As if he didn’t know Tang Mo, he stared at the three adults in the room alertly.

Ning Zheng didn’t expect that he would end up in the same room as Tang Mo. He suddenly felt a pain in his neck and thought of his own Eve’s apple. He stared at Tang Mo coldly, thinking for a moment, but instead of doing anything, he observed the house.

The young woman looked curiously at Tang Mo several times, and then looked at Ning Zheng. In the end, her eyes fell on Fu Wensheng, and she smiled: “How delicate are you?”

Tang Mo raised his eyebrows: Cantonese?

The woman noticed Tang Mo’s gaze, smiled heartily at Tang Mo, and turned to look for other clues in the room.

Tang Mo and Fu Wensheng did not communicate, and they each observed the room.

Presumably thirty-one players should have entered different rooms after entering the game. As Tang Mo walked around the room, he was on guard against Ning Zheng and the young woman suddenly making a move. However, they didn’t make a move. The four walked around the room and returned to the center of the room.

Ning Zheng looked at Tang Mo silently and did not speak.

Fu Wensheng pretended not to know Tang Mo at the moment, and it was not easy to talk.

Tang Mo thought about it and was about to speak when a clear and clean female voice said in front of him, “It looks like everyone is optimistic?”

The man seemed to be in a good mood and had a pleasant tone. Tang Mo gave the woman a strange look. It was the first time he saw a player who could maintain such a good attitude after entering the Black Tower game. Why does it feel like she’s here to play games, and she’s not afraid of losing the game at all… Isn’t she afraid of death?

Fu Wensheng nodded and said, “Alright.”

The young woman smiled and said, “Is the child thirteen years old this year?”

Fu Wensheng replied reflexively, “I’m twelve this year.” After speaking, he remembered that this was a completely unfamiliar player, and he didn’t need to answer the other party’s question at all. Fu Wensheng was a little annoyed, but the woman’s tone of voice was like chattering, which made him feel unprepared.

“It’s so small.” The woman in black touched her chin.

Ning Zheng interrupted their chat: “Tang Mo, what is Eve’s reward?”

The young woman paused and looked up at Tang Mo in surprise.

Tang Mo frowned.

Ning Zheng’s words sounded full of resentment and asked casually, but in fact they were very tricky. When Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo caught Ning Zheng before, younger brother Fu was not present, so he didn’t know that Tang Mo and Fu Wensheng knew each other. But after he said that, the young woman knew that Tang Mo had Eve’s reward.

Eve’s reward is enough to make advanced players jealous. It’s like a Pandora’s box, everyone thinks it’s a good thing and wants to get the treasure inside. Even if Tang Mo told them that he lost his memory and didn’t know what Eve’s reward was, these players wouldn’t believe it.

Ning Zheng placed Tang Mo on the opposite side of the three players in the room.

Tang Mo thought for a long time, but only a few seconds passed. He calmly returned to Ning Zheng: “It’s a very good prop. But in Santa’s assembly copy, it is forbidden to use any props, and it happened that I didn’t bring it with me. Ning Zheng, why are you here, you are Returnees, do you have Christmas branches too?”

As soon as these words fell, the young woman looked at Ning Zheng again in surprise.

Players all over Beijing knew that Ning Zheng was a returnee on the Beijing Surviving Last Time leaderboard. Tang Mo’s reputation is very famous in China, and Ning Zheng is not too much. If Tang Mo has Eve’s reward, making him the player’s public enemy. As a returnee, Ning Zheng’s identity itself made him an enemy of the survivors of the earth.

If you kill Ning Zheng, you will definitely get a good item. This is the game rule of the time ranking.

Ning Zheng wanted Tang Mo to be crowded out by the players in the room, and Tang Mo did the same.

The woman in black looked at the vague hostility between the two and smiled, “Tang Mo, Ning Zheng, I didn’t expect that I would be so lucky to meet two famous high-level players at once. It seems that you don’t need to introduce each other. You all know me. My name is Mo Xue, what’s this little kid called?”

The reaction of the woman in black was beyond Tang Mo and Ning Zheng’s expectations.

…she actually brought it with such a sum?

Fu Wen said, “My name is Chen Sheng.”

The woman in black smiled and said, “The game still has to start. Heita said just now that it is recommended that we find the right way as soon as possible and become an official customer. What do you think about this?”

With Ning Zheng’s cautious personality, Tang Mo knew that he would not act here. Neither side could use abilities or props, so Ning Zheng was not sure of winning Tang Mo. In the same way, Ning Zheng also knew that Tang Mo would not act.

Ning Zheng said: “There are four windows in this room. Two on the left and right sides, and one door. I tried to open the door just now, but it didn’t open. The door is locked. Looking out from these four windows… …with four stores each.”

The four walked to the window on one side, looked out through the window, and saw four identical stores standing outside the window. Each shop has a beautiful glass window, there are exquisite gifts, cakes and cookies in the window. They went to the other side, and there were four identical shops outside the window on the other side.

There are a total of eight shops, which are symmetrical about the house as the center. The shops on the left are the cake shop, the confectionary, the biscuit shop and the gift shop, as are the four shops on the right.

Colorful neon lights are used on the store signs of these four stores to circle their respective store names——

“Santa’s Cake Shop, Santa’s Candy House, Santa’s Cookie House, and Santa’s Gift Shop.” Fu Wensheng read out the four names.

The door can’t be opened, and the window is completely sealed.

Violence is prohibited on Trolley Street, but Black Tower does not say whether it prohibits violence between players or between players or all violence. Therefore, Tang Mo did not dare to open the door violently, and could only wait quietly in the room for the Black Tower to announce the new rules of the game.

Among the four players in the room, except for the woman in black who doesn’t know the details, the other three are senior players who have experienced many games. The three were not in a hurry.

The Black Tower will never give an inexplicable puzzle. They have found all the clues they can find, and there must be other clues that have not been announced.

But before that, Ning Zheng didn’t answer the question Tang Mo asked Ning Zheng.

Tang Mo lowered his eyes and gave younger brother Fu a wink.

Although Fu Wensheng didn’t have the same tacit understanding with Tang Mo as his eldest brother, he also understood what Tang Mo meant after a while. He was like a curious and timid child at the moment, staring nervously at the “returner” Ning Zheng, and quietly shrank his body towards Tang Mo. His behavior did not arouse Ning Zheng’s suspicion. After all, Tang Mo was an official player, and Ning Zheng was a returnee. It is clear at a glance who the children will choose.

Fu Wensheng whispered, “How can the returnees enter this game?”

Tang Mo followed his words and asked lightly, “How did you get in? The returnees have also experienced the Christmas surprise dungeon?”

Ning Zheng leaned against the Bingtang window, and when he heard Tang Mo’s words, he asked with a cold expression, “A copy of the Christmas surprise?”

Tang Mo: “You haven’t experienced the Christmas dungeon, how did you get the Christmas tree branch?”

Ning Zheng looked at Tang Mo with strange eyes, and suddenly he sneered and muttered to himself, “You don’t want to know what kind of Christmas copy we are going through.” Four stores.

Tang Mo captured key information.

Returners have also gone through Christmas dungeons.

The Christmas dungeon experienced by the returnees doesn’t seem like a very good memory.

Tang Mo looked at Ning Zheng’s neck: “You have become an official player now?”

Ning Zheng’s neck no longer had the string of golden numbers.

Ning Zheng stared at Tang Mo, and after a while, he said, “Did Xu Yun tell you anything when he died?”

What should she say? Tang Mo said, “I said it.”

Ning Zheng’s body froze. He carefully observed Tang Mo’s expression for a while, and he let out a sigh of relief, “She didn’t say anything.”

Tang Mo’s heart moved.

There were only four people in the room.

The relationship between Tang Mo and Ning Zheng was definitely not a friend, and Fu Wensheng didn’t dare to get close to Tang Mo openly. The black-clothed woman named Mo Xue had been standing by the side, not participating in their conversation. She even looked as if she didn’t care what Tang Mo and Ning Zheng said. She reached out and touched the biscuit wall, gently breaking off a piece and chewing it in her mouth.

“Huh? Sweet.”

Tang Mo: “…”

Ning Zheng: “…”

Worlds, full of wonders! How can all kinds of strange players appear.

However, the next moment, Tang Mo suddenly saw the woman dig out a small piece of rock candy on the window with her bare hands. With a slight force on her feet, she nimbly jumped to the ceiling and broke off a piece of chocolate. She moves beautifully, as easily as walking and eating, and on this bouncy gummy trampoline.

Tang Mo and Ning Zheng realized together: This woman’s strength is not simple.

Just when the strange and stagnant atmosphere in the room was about to last for five minutes, a familiar child’s voice sounded, finally breaking the silence.

“Ding dong! All one hundred virtual customers are in place.”

“Please get ready for thirty-one customers. In five minutes, Trolley Commercial Street will usher in the first wave of customer frenzy. Please observe carefully to find out the shop that really belongs to Santa Claus. After three rounds of customer frenzy, players You can choose the store you want to enter.”

“Be careful! You can only be a regular customer if you walk into the right store.”
