    Chapter 106

    The virtual screen floated in mid-air, and the scenes of the deaths of No. 2 and No. 6 were simultaneously broadcast and appeared on the screen.

    They were the first to decide to enter the rain.

    No. 2 is good at hiding, and No. 6 has the ability to control water. This rain is a unique camouflage for them, and it is also the most suitable hunting ground.

    Before meeting Yu Tang, they had already killed four superpowers in the rain.

    These two people are at the top of the rankings, and many people have bet on them. I didn't expect that they would be caught in this heavy rain so easily.

    The messages on the virtual screen flashed quickly.

    [What's going on? Does being in the rain count for an hour??]

    [What’s going on this time? Didn’t you announce the rules of the game in advance?Is this considered a breach of contract?]

    [Will the official give an explanation?]

    [Can I appeal??]

    [If this rain doesn’t stop, don’t we have to place bets?Anyway, if others want to rush to the safe zone, it will take an hour sooner or later.]

    [The quality of this batch is good, they have already reacted and started looking for a place to take shelter from the rain.]

    Many people were discussing the rules, and some people went back to watch the videos of No. 2 and No. 6 and discovered some abnormalities that were originally ignored.

    [Has anyone noticed the number 13 they finally robbed?Why do I feel like the 13th is also an hour old?]

    [It was full. It had not rained yet when we started on the road on the 13th. He did not choose to take shelter from the rain and has been in the rain until now.]

    [Then why didn't he disappear?]

    [Is it related to the superpower? Does anyone know what the superpower of No. 13 is?]

    [He is a newcomer and has no previous game records. The information only says B-level physics department. Is it safe to buy him?]

    Yu Tang followed the map and turned in another direction.

    Before the broadcast began, he stopped manipulating the water particles and dispersed the colorless film that served as a poncho.

    In the eyes of those who came to watch the live broadcast, he was no different from anyone else.

    The thunder was getting louder, and the wind carried the rain and penetrated into the clothes. Under the iron-gray low sky, the heavy rain made people unable to open their eyes.

    The system was a little worried: "Host, is it okay if we come into contact with rainwater like this?"

    "It doesn't matter." Yu Tang needed to verify some conjectures. He let the rain flow down his forehead and raised his hand to wipe his face, "We have enough time."

    It takes forty minutes to get to the safe point in Area B8 from here.

    The maximum length of time allowed for continuous contact with rainwater is one hour. He does not need to use his powers to block the rain again before arriving at a safe point.

    In the face of the approaching crisis, the number of cases of superhuman beings killing each other will only increase. Feng Qing's mental power must be carefully calculated to prepare for emergencies.

    Yu Tang distractedly asked the system: "Have you sent a message to the mall?"

    In the sea of consciousness, the system flashed the red light twice and opened the mall backend: "Sent! Three minutes ago-"

    The system's mechanical sound stopped for a moment, and I zoomed in on the background to take a closer look.

    The message that should have been delivered three minutes ago is still being sent in the buffering circle.

    The system felt a little uneasy. When I clicked on the purchase interface of the mall, it also turned into a gray prompt indicating that the communication connection was interrupted.

    The system was a little anxious: "Host..."

    "I saw it." Yu Tang said, "Is there a way to determine the specific time of disconnection?"

    The system was stunned for a moment and thought carefully: "There is a way. Our system's group chat will always refresh the screen. I can see when the message record stopped!"

    While answering, the system quickly called up the blocked system group chat history: "The last message was at eight o'clock, and then there were no new messages... We should have been cut off from the network at that time."

    Yu Tang nodded.

    The system worked on repairing the network for a long time. Looking at the communication that was still interrupted, he felt full of guilt: "Host, little blanket——"

    "It doesn't matter." Yu Tang said, "Senior Zhan will come."

    System: "Why?"

    Yu Tang: "Because as long as it is something promised, Senior Zhan will definitely do it."

    The system was stunned for a moment.

    Yu Tang was not worried about the new blanket and wiped the rain off his face again.He handed over the job of racing motorcycles to the skill card left by Luo Ran, returned to the sea of consciousness, and flipped through the game's message area.

    Although the communication with Chuan Bookstore headquarters was interrupted, the network in this world is still there.

    Without much effort, Yu Tang got into the official backend of the game and obtained hundreds of empty shell accounts that had not been logged in for more than half a year and were about to be canceled.

    The system helped by changing the username and password for the account: "Host, what do you need these accounts for?"

    "Be prepared." Yu Tang said, "If Zhong San doesn't tell Feng Qing, these onlookers may not be willing to tell him."

    He opened a bottle of refreshing brain tonic, randomly selected an account, and typed a message.

    [What is the significance of ABC classification?The powers are all the same, and those who buy A-level ones are mentally ill and have too much money.]

    As soon as this message was posted, there was no doubt that there were many responses.

    [newcomer?]

    [Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand anything. How can C-level abilities be compared with A-level abilities?]

    [You can register an account, and your right to know is at least level 3 or above. You don’t even know this?]

    [Another person who didn’t read the introduction carefully. Giving people like you the right to know is a waste. It’s better to feed worms to stars...]

    The system detects the keyword: "Host——"

    Yu Tang bit the straw of the refreshing brain fluid and nodded.

    The methods of provoking war were similar everywhere. Yu Tang changed a number of trumpets and left several messages at different times.

    The information revealed in the quarrel was scattered. Yu Tang and the system sorted it out together, picked out the key points and pieced them together, successfully summarizing the roughly complete content.

    ——The superpowers currently mutated, whether physical or psychological, are special abilities triggered by mental power after the brain has mutated.

    These abilities are also divided into four types: S, A, B, and C according to the level of mental power.

    C level is the most basic of all classifications. Mental power will acquire certain special attributes. It is this mutated attribute that leads to the creation of superpowers.

    As the psychic power of B-level superpowers continues to increase, the range of their ability radiation also begins to expand. This range is called a "field."

    In the original plot, Feng Qing was a B-level superpower until the end.After the last reorganization, the limit of his ability is a complete circle with himself as the origin and a radius of seventeen meters.

    All objects within this circle can be analyzed into particles by him and reorganized at will.

    Most people with superpowers will stay at level B throughout their lives, and the reason why people with level A superpowers are precious is because they can already formulate and assign rules to this "field" based on their own abilities.

    As for S-level abilities, they are only a legendary level.

    Many people firmly believe that there must have been people with superpowers who have evolved to S level, but until now, there is still not enough official evidence to support this.

    The system sorted out this paragraph, but after reading it several times, I still couldn't understand it: "Host, what does making rules mean?"

    Yu Tang did not answer immediately.

    He sorted out the confidential classification of these abilities that Feng Qing had completely dissipated in the end and was not qualified to know. He handed them over to the system for safekeeping, exited the sea of ​​consciousness and returned to reality.

    Xiaohongka has safely sent them to the safe point in area B8.

    In front of them was a villa in the forest.

    Probably because it has been in the woods for too long, the exterior walls of the villa are covered with ivy. The green leaves have been washed spotlessly by the rain, and are covered with neat red brick walls.

    The courtyard was refreshing and quiet, with no expected fights or fights.

    The large bronze door engraved with complex patterns is open, and the white stone road extends to the main entrance of the villa.

    The system asked in a low voice: "Host, will we be the first to arrive?"

    Yu Tang stopped his motorcycle: "No."

    They are not that close to here.

    Yu Tang had noticed that before the superpowers were forced to start moving, there were many surviving superpowers in area B8. The nearest safe point could be reached in just ten minutes' walk.

    Even if they were almost at odds on the road, it would not be his turn to ride a motorcycle all the way to pick up the leak.

    Yu Tang put the motorcycle into the sea of consciousness and was about to check his surroundings when he suddenly heard voices coming from not far away.

    The system failed to warn in time for the second time, and I was a little surprised: "What's going on? Another hidden power..."

    Yu Tang looked back.

    The person who called him was a young man wearing glasses. He came out of the sentry box and walked up to Yu Tang: "Are you the No. 13?"

    Yu Tang raised his head and his eyes fell on him.

    "Don't be nervous, I am No. 39. When the death scenes of No. 2 and No. 6 were played, we saw you on the virtual screen."

    The young man said: "You are a good person. No. 6 treated you like that, and you reminded them to take shelter from the rain."

    Yu Tang looked into the villa: "Is this safe spot yours?"

    Yu Tang gathered his thoughts, stepped into the role of Feng Qing, and took two steps back: "Don't worry, I have a motorcycle, I can leave right now -"

    The young man laughed: "No, come in."

    He took the initiative to turn around and led Yu Tang inside: "Are you a newcomer? It's normal for newcomers to be nervous. You just get used to it."

    Yu Tang asked: "Aren't you going to kill me?"

    "There are only a few of us in total, and there aren't even ten of us including you... We can only survive for a while, let's talk about it in 13 hours."

    The young man smiled and said, "You can't just kill someone when you meet them. Once you enter this door, someone who knows you might come back later."

    Yu Tang: "I came here on my own, no one knows me."

    The young man was noncommittal: "Who can say for sure about fate?"

    Yu Tang stood still in front of the villa door and looked up.

    "I still have to go back and do my sentry duty. You have to do your sentry duty even when you come here. Every fifty-nine minutes. You'll be in the pavilion over there where it won't get wet. Remember to walk back and forth when you're on duty."

    The young man said: "No one is here now. Everyone has gone out to find food. You rest on the first floor for a while, and I will contact the team leader."

    Yu Tang thanked him.

    The young man waved his hand: "This time we didn't announce the rules in advance. Everyone suffered a lot. Please help if you can."

    Yu Tang asked: “Should the rules be announced in advance?”

    "That's what I said when I signed the contract," the young man said. "Every time you enter the game, the rules of the game will be announced first, and then the rules will take effect."

    The young man smiled bitterly: "But we don't have the conditions to appeal... Those people and companies who lost money on bets will probably appeal."

    "If the appeal is successful, this game will be suspended." The young man said, "I hope with this luck, we can all survive."

    Yu Tang lowered his gaze.

    The young man said no more and opened the door for Yu Tang: "Okay, there is a dryer in the basement. Remember to dry yourself to avoid turning into water."

    Yu Tang paused for two seconds and walked into the safe spot.

    The door of the villa slowly closed behind him.

    Compared with the mottled exterior walls, the villa is well maintained, as if someone has always lived in it.

    The hall on the first floor is very empty, and the wooden floor exudes a light pine scent. In the fireplace in the corner, the warm firelight shines through the carved copper partitions.

    Yu Tang peeled off the rain particles from his body and clothes, walked to the window, and sent them out through the ajar window.

    In the guard box not far from the window, the young man also skillfully operated the dryer that was moved out of the villa, drying the moisture on his body.

    The water vapor still belongs to the cumulonimbus cloud. If it is not dried in time, it will be assimilated by the environment after an hour even if it is not continuously exposed to rain.

    If this rainstorm does not stop, it will be the most severe challenge for all superpowers.

    Yu Tang rummaged through the warehouse of consciousness sea, took out a carton of milk, inserted a straw, and took two sips.

    "Host." The system was a little happy, "The people in area B8 look pretty good..."

    Yu Tang was noncommittal, closed the window, walked to the sofa and sat down, waving towards the flames in the fireplace.

    The red-hot sparks jumped out from the fireplace, lined up neatly, stretched horizontally and vertically, overlapping and intertwined, flowing with a warm shimmer.

    These lines blocked the entire sofa, and the firelight passed through the empty hall, brightened briefly, then dimmed quietly and disappeared into the air.

    The system was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Host?"

    Yu Tang took out his work notes from the sea of consciousness, tore up a note, folded it into a paper airplane and threw it out.

    As soon as it touched the lines of fire that were already hidden in the air, the paper airplane quickly burned and turned into ashes in mid-air.

    Yu Tang swept the ash particles into the fireplace: "I want to watch this morning's video again."

    The system has been recording the contents of all live broadcast rooms simultaneously. Hearing this, he turned on the light screen: "There are forty-nine in total. Which area does the host want to watch?"

    "Just put them together, four times the speed..." Yu Tang thought for a moment, "Three times the speed, look carefully."

    system:"……"

    Electronic Storm's ability to receive information has evolved to its limit after devouring massive amounts of information several times. In comparison, even terminals may inevitably be inferior.

    The system spread out the recordings in the live broadcast room and clicked play together.

    Yu Tang closed his eyes, leaned on the sofa in the corner, and completely returned his mind to the sea of consciousness.

    The world they live in did not have rules of assimilation from the beginning.

    It was nine o'clock when Yu Tang went back to grab the blanket, and the mattress and thin blanket had just completed the final petrification together - according to the rules, going back one hour from this time point, it happened to be the beginning of assimilation.

    It's eight o'clock sharp in the morning.

    "The rain stopped just at eight o'clock."

    The system said: "So at that time, not many people realized that even rain could assimilate people."

    Yu Tang looked at the light screen, dragged the progress bar back and forth several times, and clicked to enlarge the screen in area C5.

    Area C5 was already at the edge of the forest. Supernatural user No. 19 stumbled out of the forest. He wanted to stop and take a rest, but he ran into a person running over.

    No. 19's ability is teleportation. He didn't dare to relax. He gritted his teeth and ducked over, pressing the person to the ground.

    The man was also wearing the black T-shirt and trousers uniformly distributed by players. He looked embarrassed and panicked: "Let me go, let me go, and I'll tell you a secret!"

    The man looked pale and trembled all over. He whispered quickly: "This world can eat people. If you stop for more than an hour, you will be swallowed by this world..."

    No. 19 was a little confused. He just thought he was another weakling who was scared out of his mind because he was forced into the game, and threw the opponent away.

    The system carefully compared the facial data and was a little surprised: "Host, he is not a player!"

    "He is not a player." Yu Tang nodded, "He is an NPC who came to announce the rules."

    system:"??"

    Yu Tang clicked on the time on the progress bar.

    It was exactly eight o'clock when the man said his last word.

    The game didn't violate the contract, it just changed the way it announced the rules.

    If players still want to know the new rules, they must actively trigger interactions with NPCs.

    But no one can guarantee whether the NPC will inform the rules or directly kill the players - not to mention, once a player learns the information, it is impossible to tell everyone at the same time.

    But the game has announced the rules after all, so neither the spectators who place bets nor the companies who choose to send players have any way to appeal, let alone force the game to stop.

    This is a complete conspiracy.

    The next change from this world will probably happen quietly before the rules are issued to everyone.

    Yu Tang clicked on another picture and was about to speak when his mind was suddenly pulled back to the real world by a force.

    The wind chimes hanging in the sea of consciousness rang loudly.

    A light blue card appeared, like the color of the sky after the rain.

    Shi Ji had long wanted to leave him a farewell gift, but fearing that Yu Tang would not agree, he teamed up with the Dolphin and the system to secretly make a fighting card and hide it in the wind chime.

    The fighting card was automatically triggered by the crisis and took over Feng Qing's body urgently.

    Yu Tang's body turned sharply, raising his elbow to protect himself. The dagger pulled out from the sea of consciousness slid into the palm of his hand along his wrist, and the sharp blade filled with cold air came across the person's throat.

    The other party held his arm and removed the dagger from his hand.

    Yu Tang's dagger played a trick in the palm of his hand, he nimbly withdrew it backwards, twisted to avoid the opponent's grip, and raised his hand to strike at the side of the opponent's neck.

    There was nothing wrong with Shi Ji's fighting skills, but Feng Qing's strength was insufficient. The opponent was struck by him, but he only staggered half a step away in pain before regaining his balance.

    Yu Tang: "..."

    Fighting Card probably didn't expect it either. He was stunned for a moment and turned around to roll behind the sofa.

    But the person who came moved faster than him, with one hand protecting his shoulder and back, he gently took him back and placed him on the sofa.

    Yu Tang frowned and raised his gaze.

    Zhan Chen half-knelt in front of the sofa and handed the new blanket to Yu Tang's hand.

    He was also wearing the same black T-shirt and trousers as the player. He probably had just arrived, and there was a bit of cool rain on him.

    That blanket was warm and soft, and it looked like it had been carefully placed close to my body without any rainwater on it.

    He held the side of his neck where he had just been hit, sighed, and chuckled helplessly, but the look between his eyebrows was very indulgent and gentle.

    Zhan Chen stretched out his hand and touched Yu Tang's hair: "What's wrong? Didn't you call me to deliver the goods?"

    The author has something to say: Xiao Lanka: I was careless.

      Zhen Chan! You’re here finally !! *sobs*

    Note
