Chapter 7

The fourth day of experience activities, the video game city on the cruise ship, commonly known as the game hall.

At a glance, the dim light, colorful lights and deafening background music instantly give people the illusion of coming to another time and space.

After arriving at the destination, everyone's faces were not good-looking. Most of the players here are not familiar with the video game city, maybe they have played it occasionally, but there are probably not many who often hang out in the video game city.

As a result, today's task is somewhat troublesome.

Because before entering, the tour guide said with a smile: "Everyone must enjoy the fun of the game. Only when you play the game is time."

So if you just go shopping in the video game city, it doesn't count, you must participate in the game. But playing games costs game coins, and the tour guide only gave everyone 60 coins, which is not enough for half an hour.

The average project in this video game city is played for two to five coins, and most projects will end a round soon. If you think about it, you can play 30 games for 60 coins, so a game will take at least one minute.

It doesn't seem to be very harsh, but it's not. Some games seem to take a long time, but the operation process is actually very short.

However, there are still loopholes in this rule, such as the shooting game. If the player keeps aiming with the basketball, even if he doesn't throw it, the tour guide can't say that this action does not count as participating in the game. It's just that this seems to have a countdown, and it can't be delayed for too long.

The same is true for the doll machine. It will automatically lower the pliers if the button is not pressed for half a minute in a round.

Because they are not familiar with the video game city, the players are a little confused after entering and don't know what to choose. The best option is the kind of game that takes a long time, but if the skill is not good and you die in the middle, it will not take a few minutes.

Only a few more knowledgeable ones rushed to the game consoles they were good at as soon as they entered. They were full of confidence, and they could easily kill half an hour.

As a rookie who had never been to the video game city a few times, Ye Xu looked around and saw only a few machines he had played with. Compared with the others who couldn't, he felt that it was better to play the game, so he chose the easiest one - the dance machine.

This dance machine is a bit more expensive than the dance machines outside, with five game coins per piece, and you can choose your own songs.

Ye Xu carefully threw five coins in, then stood in front of the machine and waited for the prelude.

He chose a tune at random, and this song is still relatively long in memory. When he started to play, he realized that he had overestimated himself. He hurriedly stepped on the arrows on the ground, exhausted himself a few times, and made mistakes several times.

Fortunately, although he stepped on the wrong foot and missed a lot of arrows, the screen never reminded him that the game was over. It was only then that Ye Xu remembered that the dance machine seemed to end after a song was picked, no matter how you danced in the middle.

Looking at it this way, the dance machine is simply a tool for saving time in the video game city. Sixty coins can at least allow him to jump twelve rounds. If one sentence is calculated as the shortest three minutes, there are also thirty-six minutes. In fact, a song usually has about four and a half minutes, that is to say, it is enough to skip seven innings.

Good luck!

Ye Xu sighed, then stopped jumping with effort, and stepped on and on at will, making it look like he was playing a game. It doesn't matter if he wins or loses anyway, as long as he doesn't stand there waiting, he's even playing a game.

There are also a few dance machines beside him. In addition to the fact that some people chose the dance machines after seeing Ye Xu coming up, there were also two players who were the first to come in with the old fritters from the video game city, and they chose this one directly. machine. Moreover, it is the strange pair of men and women.

They seemed to know the characteristics of the dance machine from the beginning, so there was no hesitation at all. In the eyes of others, they may be too experienced, but Ye Xu always felt that they were not. The two seemed to have "clearance strategies".

The last time they were in the duty-free shop, they found out that they could use trial packs. At that time, no one dared to mess with the things in the shop, except for the two of them.

They were more dedicated than Ye Xu, and they had a lot of fun playing on the dance machine. However, their accuracy rate is also very high, unlike Ye Xu who always makes mistakes.

Ye Xu looked at the two young people full of vitality with a face of vicissitudes. A few minutes later, the song stopped, and Ye Xu continued to put coins.

However, he found that the man and woman next door were still dancing, and their tunes seemed to be extraordinarily long.

Ye Xu stopped and listened carefully to the song, it seemed to be... "The King of Love Songs"? This song seems to be really long, more than ten minutes.

That's it.

Ye Xu immediately ordered "The King of Love Songs", a song can be mixed for ten minutes, which is longer than Ye Xu expected, and it seems that he will be able to eat breakfast soon.

After he was free, Ye Xu turned his head to look at the others. Other players obviously did not have such good luck as him. Because the "everyone is different" rule still applies here, so people are still jealous of those who pick the good machine and play a game that is not so good.

Moreover, no one dares to change the project, although this time there may not be a rule to change the project and die.

Ye Xu guessed that the only danger of this experience event was the game currency. It is very likely that the game coins are specially made, and you cannot go to the front desk to exchange money for new ones after they are used up.

In order to confirm his guess, Ye Xu turned to face the door while stepping on it, where there was the front desk of the video game city. There was obviously no one at the front desk, and the only NPC was the tour guide who was leaning against the table to play games, and the tour guide obviously wouldn't help them exchange coins.

In this way, those players who hope that they will be able to exchange their coins after they are spent will be out of luck.

In addition to this, there is one more thing that makes Ye Xu a little puzzled—

The tour guide gave them sixty coins, but why sixty? Although sixty is an integer, fifty or one hundred is more normal, right?

Generally, one dollar is exchanged for one game currency. Normal people exchange coins with fifty or one hundred whole dollars. How can anyone exchange one ten yuan and one fifty?

Maybe there is some inexplicable concern about this point, and can't help but think about it. But others didn't seem to think there was a problem, and took it for granted.

After selecting the three songs "The King of Love Songs", Ye Xu's experience time was more than half an hour. Before him, more than a dozen players, including the pair of men and women, had already left with their meal tickets. Ye Xu didn't want to stay here any longer, so he came to the door without hesitation.

"Take out the coins." The tour guide put away the phone and pouted at him.

Confused, Ye Xu took out all the game coins in his pocket, and it seemed that the unused game coins had to be turned in.

The tour guide glanced at it, stretched out his hand and took ten coins: "The coins you borrowed have been returned, and you can take the rest and exchange them for money tomorrow. This is your meal ticket."

Saying that, he put a ticket in Ye Xu's hand.

Ye Xu was stunned, borrowed coins?

He looked at the tour guide's half-smile but not smiling eyes, and suddenly returned to his senses, and hurriedly took the things and left. After leaving the video game city, Ye Xu realized what he just said.

Of the 60 game coins, only 50 belong to the player himself! The remaining ten are "lent" to the player by the tour guide in advance, and they will be returned after the experience is over. If the time is not up...you don't need to think about the consequences.

Moreover, the tour guide also revealed that the game coins can only be exchanged for money tomorrow, so the NPCs at the front desk will not appear today. Those players cannot exchange coins and can only live with 60 game coins.

Ye Xu shuddered, this move was too cruel.

He subconsciously reached out and touched the thirty game coins left in his pocket, and the cold touch calmed him down. This thing is money, and it can be exchanged for money tomorrow. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Even if it is only 30 yuan, he will not dislike it.

After a trip out, he made some money back, and Ye Xu's tense heart eased. This is barely good news. Now that the assets in his hands have exceeded 300 again, he feels a little more at ease.

After three days of activities, there were only 120 surviving players. This was because Ye Xu was bored while waiting on the deck in the morning. After today, a group of people will die, and the activities in the next six days will definitely be even more frenzied. I am afraid that few will be able to pass the customs by then.

Ye Xu was a little worried in his heart. The more new people died, the more difficult it became. Can he really live to the last day?

Worry about the future directly affected Ye Xu's mood to eat, but after the food was actually eaten, Ye Xu found it useless in grief and indignation. No matter how bad his mood is, it can't affect his mouth. His hungry stomach prompts him to keep stuffing food into his mouth, and he doesn't seem to have a bad appetite at all.

This world is really annoying. Fortunately, eating fat here will not lead to the next world. But if you gain weight here, it will be harder to turn around and escape.

Ye Xu always felt that he was being "fattened" by the cruise ship game, just like the livestock to be slaughtered. After getting fat, the ghosts can start "eat".

The metaphor is terrible, but it's incredibly true.

Ye Xu ate a large breakfast without food, thinking that he couldn't be so decadent anymore. After returning to his room, he found a way to do some exercise to digest and lose weight. Although there is no scale here for him to weigh, he still feels that he has gained several kilograms in the past few days.

What kind of exercise can be done in the room...

Ye Xu turned around, but didn't see anything that could be used. The room is too small, it is impossible to run, and it is too dangerous to run outside.

Either he's lying in bed doing sit-ups, or he's doing squats in place.

or……

Ye Xu suddenly remembered that there was a spare rope on the balcony, which was put together with the lifebuoy. First aid could be used in case of danger.That kind of rope is relatively thick and heavy, and it is barely suitable for use as a skipping rope.

That's it.

Ye Xu walked to the balcony, picked up the bundle of rope, quickly cut out the length of the skipping rope, and then chose an open area to start skipping rope to lose weight.
