Chapter 104

Chapter 104

The game hall is empty and white.

Yu Tang arrived a little late. After checking his identity and entering, there were already many "players" standing in this seemingly empty venue.

There seemed to be a virtual screen in mid-air, lighting up a huge bright red countdown.

In three minutes, this game will officially start.

Yu Tang was brought to his seat, and as soon as he stood still, hysterical shouts erupted at the door.

The one who resisted desperately was a young student. He was held down by several people and was still struggling: "Let me go! I don't want to enter the game. If you let me go, my abilities will not be of use at all..."

His voice echoed in the empty and quiet game hall, but it was swallowed up by the air strangely before it could reach far.

The "players" stood in their respective positions, and no one spoke.

These players uniformly wear identity cards. Their genders, ages, identities and professions are all different. The only thing they have in common is the calm look on their faces that is almost numb.

In the sea of consciousness, the system has found the complete introduction to the game.

The game is called "Cocoon".

The game will start regularly, and the content, background and theme of each issue are different. There is only one decision rule: try to survive and use all means to survive to the end.

…

Quietness has returned to the game hall.

The young player who desperately wanted to escape failed and was intercepted and forced to prepare for the introduction of the game.

The system scanned it again and whispered to Yu Tang: "His ability is 'instant memory'."

Each of these players who are about to enter the game has special abilities that are different from ordinary people.

These people were either forced to be sent to the research institute to undergo transformation like Feng Qing, or they were attracted by the huge bounty and voluntarily signed up to undergo transformation, hoping to take risks in the game.

The mutation of abilities is random. Some people will acquire powerful offensive abilities, while others, like the young player, will mutate into useless abilities that are of little use.

But as a price, once you accept the transformation, no matter what powers you mutate, you will never be able to exit the game.

Either survive every game and every level smoothly, use all means, and become the one who survives to the end.

Or die in the game.

The young player had already foreseen his own end. He collapsed on the ground, his face pale and his body trembling.

No one paid attention to him, and occasionally someone glanced at him, as if looking at a prey waiting to be slaughtered.

"The cut-off point of each round of the game is that the number of survivors is less than ten."

The system whispered: "Otherwise, the game will continue until there are only ten players left."

Each round of the game is filled with desperate crises, the environment is extremely harsh, the survivable safe zone will continue to shrink, and a large number of NPCs will be set up that may hunt players.

In other words, if you want to end the game as quickly as possible, players must kill each other to reduce the number of people to less than ten.

It's not that no one has tried to escape. Some people have mutated abilities that are of the stealth type. They have also tried to use their abilities to escape, evade guards, and hide far away in a strange place.

But until now, no one has succeeded.

Those with supernatural powers who try to escape will be forcibly captured and put back into the game no matter where they go.

… As time went by, no one struggled anymore.

Everyone has acquiesced to this cruel rule. Whether it is the players who survived the last period or the newly transformed superpowers, they will be sent back to this game hall to wait for the new game to start.

On the virtual screen in mid-air, the countdown came to an end one second after another.

Dazzling bright light enveloped the entire game hall.

…

The biting cold enveloped everyone instantly.

The players were all wearing uniformly distributed black T-shirts, trousers and thin jackets. They were suddenly hit by the cold air and lost heat quickly.

The strong air currents hurt the skin on people's faces, and the wind roared in their ears.

One after another, some people recovered their vision from the stimulation of the bright light. Soon some people realized their current situation and their eyes widened in shock.

...They are falling!

Thick cumulonimbus clouds enveloped everyone, passing through the frozen ice crystals at the top. The clouds below became darker and thicker, and the field of vision was once again blocked to the point where it was impossible to see anything.

Huge and thick thunderclouds collided with each other, flashing with dazzling lightning.

The young player screamed in horror: "Help——"

Before his voice fell, lightning had already penetrated his chest.

The young player didn't even have time to react. In a dazzling white light, his body was instantly carbonized by hundreds of millions of joules of electricity.

The coke continued to fall and turned into a translucent card.

[Instant memory].

…

Everyone was gripped by fear and panic.

The clouds were flowing slowly, and electric lights were constantly crackling. Against the dark and gloomy background, the virtual screen was still suspended in the air stably and silently.

On the screen, real-time messages are scrolling.

[The card is released faster this time than before.]

[The airdrop without an umbrella at the beginning is exciting enough.]

[Finally waiting for the memory card!I don’t know if this is an auction or a krypton gold card draw?]

[Still dreaming?Go to the game market and see that the card pool is locked.]

[locked???]

[It is said that the game is temporarily closed for maintenance, and I don’t know when it will be reopened.]

[how so?Can the game currency I just deposited be refunded?]

[Wait for the auction, the auction house will still be there after the card pool is closed.]

[The threshold for the auction house is too high...]

Yu Tang looked at the message that passed by in a flash and frowned slightly.

The system floated in the sea of consciousness, falling rapidly together, looking at the approaching black land below with fear: "Susu host——"

They fell down from the cumulonimbus clouds, and there was a torrential rain below. In such weather conditions, no parachutes, hang gliders, or private helicopters were of any use.

The system hurriedly browsed the mall, trying to find a product that could cope with this situation.

Yu Tang: “In exchange for a motorcycle.”

system:"?"

"One with a light." Yu Tang took the time to request, "Hurry, we don't have much time left."

The system hadn't figured out why it wanted to exchange for a motorcycle, so it quickly carried out the host's instructions while the screen was full of snowflakes.

The ground was approaching rapidly in the fierce wind carrying heavy raindrops.

The system didn't dare to look any further, and was about to cover the camera when it suddenly froze.

...Feng Qing's body did not fall to the ground together with the motorcycle as he imagined, and fell into a pile of particles that could not be put together.

On the edge of the dark and steep cliff, gravel was constantly being rolled down and falling, and sparks were almost scratched out by the tires of the motorcycle and the nearly vertical jagged cliff.

In the sea of consciousness, the skill card Luo Ran left for them was suspended, glowing slightly red.

…

In the Science Department, they completed their mission to send Wen Er to the end.

Before leaving the book, Luo Ran took out the "never overturn" skill card and left it with Yu Tang.

Luo Ran was naturally good at this. He just stripped out a skill and learned it again very quickly.

Luo's father helped hold the back seat of the car. Luo Ran pedaled a bicycle for two days, rode a motorcycle for three days, and drove a red off-road vehicle across the grasslands, replenishing all the skills he had lost.

Walking through the storm was originally what Luo Ran was best at.

The huge all-terrain motorcycle roared down the cliff and ran over the sharp and intertwined stone teeth. The rear wheel drew a large arc and braked firmly to the ground.

On the virtual screen, messages are constantly being updated.

[Hell-level start, areas B5 and D7 were completely destroyed, but unfortunately no useful cards came out.]

[A-level cards have been released, and the auction house in area G9 has opened.]

[Why is the A-level ability so useless? It was revealed right from the start?]

[Mind reading, bad luck, won’t be useful in this environment.]

[Mind reading?!Can you try it at the auction house?In case I miss something...]

[Wake up, A-level cards are basically stored in the hands of those big companies, and we can’t pick them up.]

[Zhong San has gone to the auction house in Area G9. VIPs have the right to intercept, so there is no need to dream.]

[Is their company also sending players in this time?Anyone noticed what number it is?Players who bet on their company have a good chance of winning.]

[On the 13th, the card was not released, so he should still be alive.]

[What is the superpower?]

[It was raining so hard that I couldn’t see clearly. It seemed like I was summoning a motorcycle anytime and anywhere...]

Yu Tang jumped off the motorcycle.

While watching the live broadcast, spectators will select favorite superpowers to place bets on whether these superpowers can survive and their ranking at the end of the game.

Zhong San is Feng Qing's boss. He has a VIP seat and can directly enter the game with absolute safety and watch the fight of these superpowers up close.

In the plot they received, Feng Qing was seriously injured several times and was on the verge of death, and had to completely dissociate and reassemble his own particles. Zhong San was actually nearby.

The system couldn't figure it out at all: "Host, host, Zhong San is not interested in violence or killing, and he doesn't pursue excitement. Why would he come to see this in person?"

Yu Tang identified the direction and walked deep into the jungle.

He was still not good at kneading plasticine, but playing with particles was Electronic Storm's strength.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Before the cold rain could even touch Feng Qing's body, it was quietly broken down into particles and thinly gathered into a transparent raincoat.

"He needs to test No. 13's abilities at close range."

Yu Tang said: "Determine the value of number 13, control the market odds, and determine whether it should be recycled into the card pool."

The system was speechless and flashed a small red light.

...Although the logic makes sense, speaking it outright like this still seems too cold after all.

In Zhong San's view, No. 13 is a tool, a commodity, and a card.

The dissociation and recombination of his own particles was nothing to Yu Tang, but to Feng Qing, it was actually no different from dying once.

Feng Qing wants to kill himself first and then bring himself back to life.

He lay on the ground, waiting for his body to completely dissipate and dissociate, and looked at the figure not far away.

The system asked in a low voice: "Why can't Zhong San go over and help him? Even if he gives him an injection of morphine..."

Yu Tang pushed aside the branches blocking the road: "Because in theory, Feng Qing is capable of absorbing particles belonging to others."

The system was stunned.

It didn't think about this problem - the reason why Feng Qing died was because after resetting seventeen times, the particles had dissipated enough to continue to maintain the existence of this body.

But since Feng Qing can analyze and reorganize particles, he should have the ability to seize other people's particles and use them for his own use.

"Why didn't Feng Qing do this?" the system said, "Didn't he know it himself? Zhong San deliberately hid it from him? He was afraid that he would be detrimental to him -"

Yu Tang shook his head: "Feng Qing has always known."

Just like people are born with the ability to eat and breathe, when a superpower is generated, the superpower user will naturally know how to use it without deliberately learning.

Feng Qing has always known, but he has never done this.

The system asked: "When did Feng Qing find out?"

Yu Tang did not answer immediately.

He finally found a cave successfully, walked deep into the cave, and broke down the moisture on his clothes into particles and dispersed them.

There were some dead dwarf trees in the cave. Yu Tang broke off some branches, made a pile, and lit a bonfire.

Yu Tang sat down by the campfire and asked an irrelevant question: "When Chuan Bookstore gave system training, did they explain the different types of internships?"

The system was stunned for a moment: "No... we are assigned to regular employees."

Employees during the internship period will be uniformly assigned by the Human Resources Department of Chuan Bookstore. Only those who pass the internship and become regular employees will be equipped with the system.

Yu Tang: “It is similar to the models of some human enterprises, and there are two types.”

One is an internship for employees before becoming regular employees. It is basically confirmed that they will become regular employees. The internship period is used to familiarize themselves with the work content and master work skills.

One is to enter Chuan Bookstore's assessment internship. If you don't do well, you have to pack up and leave.

"The protagonist department has several teams, including the Long Aotian team and the face-slapping and scum-crushing team."

Yu Tang said: “There is also the rebirth group.

Yu Tang took out the milk from the sea of consciousness, put it in a parallelogram bowl, and placed it next to the campfire to heat it.

…

Feng Qing really lived once.

He was really adopted, sent to be reformed, brought home by Zhong San, and died at the age of seventeen due to complications from the reform.

...Then, Feng Qing got a chance to be reborn.

The price is to lend your body to the employees who are undergoing the assessment, and to cooperate with them in the bookstore to complete the assessment internship.

"I said before that the reason why Feng Qing failed to become the protagonist was because I failed the assessment."

Yu Tang: "My mission in that assessment was to absorb Zhong San's particles before I died and continue to live."

The system was stunned: "How could -"

"When Feng Qing was seventeen, he had actually awakened his superpowers. It was just that his superpowers were too powerful and not stable enough, and his body was not strong enough, so he collapsed."

Yu Tang said: "If you want to survive, it's actually very simple. Just absorb other people's particles with similar frequencies."

The terminal reset the story, gave Feng Qing a chance to be reborn, and also set a trap for Feng Qing.

If Yu Tang completes that mission, Feng Qing will still be the protagonist.

He can become the most powerful superpower, can easily pass this death game, and can live forever.

But the terminal missed a point.

The communication between particles can transcend dimensions.

In that book, Yu Tang not only felt Feng Qing's presence, but also heard Feng Qing's voice.

... very chatty.

"I know that's too much to ask...I know it's your story now."

"I must have saved a lot of money. If you look for it, I'll write it down in a small book." Feng Qing felt embarrassed, "I'll give it all to you, okay?"

Feng Qing muttered in his ear: "Can you stop absorbing this person's particles?"

"Let him live."

"Let him live."

After the time was reset, Feng Qing's memory was also erased.

Although he is still in his own body, he can only wake up very rarely and see what others are doing with their bodies.

The contract signed between the terminal and Feng Qing is that as long as Yu Tang successfully completes the assessment, the body will be returned to Feng Qing intact, making Feng Qing the protagonist of this story.

Terminal told Feng Qing that as long as he becomes the protagonist, he can have as much money as he wants.

Feng Qing loves money so much.

Feng Qing gave up this opportunity himself.

He doesn't remember anything from the past, and he no longer recognizes Zhong San.

Feng Qing was quite happy. Looking at Zhong San's one-inch photo, he chatted with Yu Tang: "Do you think this photo is handsome? I'm attracted to him, I like him."

…

"I failed to pass that assessment smoothly," Yu Tang said, "nor could I change Feng Qing's fate."

Until the end, Feng Qing refused to absorb Zhong San's particles.

He died again at the age of seventeen. Three years later, he became a supporting character in the story and a commodity and tool in Zhong San's hands.

Feng Qing was reorganized seventeen times, and his powers became more and more powerful.As long as he wants to, he can absorb any nearby life particles at any time and take the lives of others as nourishment for his own survival.

Zhong San didn't know that the location where he was standing was actually no longer within the safe zone.

…

The system flashed the small red light twice.

The virtual screen was obscured by overlapping clouds, making it temporarily unclear. There was no one around, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in a dark and cold rain curtain.
