Chapter 10
After returning to the room, Ye Xu saw the game coins on the table, and suddenly remembered that the tour guide said yesterday that he could exchange the game coins for money today. Ye Xu almost forgot about this. If he hadn't seen the game coins, he wouldn't have remembered it at all.
While it was still early, Ye Xu simply took the things and went out the door again. went to the video game city once, and it was like a snack after a meal.
Today's video game city is more lively than yesterday.
Yesterday seemed to be deliberately clearing the scene, and only the players were playing in it. Today is different. In addition to the background board NPCs that are forced to exist at first glance, there are actually intelligent NPCs who are seriously playing the game.
Ye Xu glanced at them twice, but didn't dare to look any further, for fear that some NPC would suddenly attack him. Go directly to the front desk and put the game coins on the table.
"I want to exchange the game currency for money." Ye Xu said tentatively.
The service staff at the front desk counted the game coins without saying a word. Yesterday, Ye Xu had 60 coins, and he returned 10 coins to the tour guide. The dance machine used 20 coins four times, and there are 30 coins left.
"Thirty game coins." The front desk said after ordering, "It can be exchanged for three hundred yuan."
Ye Xu thought he heard it wrong, and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "How much?"
"Three hundred." The front desk patiently repeated it and explained it to him, "We can buy one game coin for ten yuan here."
Doesn't that mean that the dance machine Ye Xu played before was not five yuan, but fifty yuan?
...it's really fucking expensive.
Ye Xu was stunned, he had never seen such expensive game coins.
However, Ye Xu was surprised when he suddenly received 300 yuan. In this way, his assets have exceeded 500 again, and he is quite wealthy. Presumably few other players are richer than him.
Ye Xu left the video game city with three warm red banknotes in his arms. The sudden good news made him feel good, and his appetite that was affected by the incident at the movie theater came back. Ye Xu decided to have another big meal to treat himself.
After a relatively enjoyable day, the tourists lead the sixth day of the trip.
Halfway through the time, it is not easy for players who can survive until now.
Ye Xu stood in the corner quietly counting the number of players, and found that there were still more than 80 survivors. More than half of the time, this situation is very bad.
According to Ye Xu's past experience, at this stage, under normal circumstances, the number of people should only be over sixty, or even fifty.
Because although the difficulty is the lowest at the beginning, the vast majority of players, especially new players, have very weak survivability. In the first half of the time, more than 60% of the players will be quickly eliminated, and although the difficulty will increase later, the mortality rate will actually decrease.
If there are a large number of capable seniors in the team, at the end of the day, even more than a dozen levels can be cleared.
There are too many people who have survived now, and there will definitely be levels with higher difficulty levels later, and then a large number of people will die. Ye Xu felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he was more vigilant than ever about the upcoming sixth experience.
The tour guide is still smiling, but the smile seems to be gloating.
When he left the cinema yesterday, Ye Xu deliberately looked at the tour guide's expression. At that time, the tour guide had a sullen look on his face, obviously very dissatisfied with the number of deaths in the cinema. Today, the results also verified that not many people died. It stands to reason that the tour guide should still be unhappy.
She can smile so brightly now, which means that there is a big pit ahead waiting for them to jump.
"Dear tourists, we have a big surprise today!" The tour guide waved a small flag and said in an exaggerated tone, "You must have never imagined that we are going to a swimming pool today!"
Ye Xu's mouth twitched, afraid of what to do.
In addition to movie theaters, there is another place that is prone to horror stories. Yes, the waters.
Whether it is the sea or a small river, a pond or a lake, or even a pool at home or a well in the yard, as long as there is water, there is danger. Either the water ghost is looking for a surrogate ghost, or the ghost is trying to kill. Anyway, as long as you touch the water, the mortality rate is as high as 99%-the remaining 1% shows that you are the protagonist of the horror story.
Going to the swimming pool at this sensitive time, fools know how dangerous it is. To say that there are no ghosts in the water, ghosts will not believe it.
But you have to go, not only to go, but also to prepare your own swimsuit and swimming trunks. To eat, but also to fight.
"It's inhumane, go swimming with an empty stomach..." The players complained in a low voice.
I thought the last time I went to the gym on an empty stomach was crazy enough, but I never imagined that it would be even more sick. Swimming is an extremely physically demanding activity. The resistance in the water increases exponentially, and it takes a lot of effort to move. After swimming for half an hour, ordinary people can basically be exhausted and gasping for breath, especially those who do not swim often.
What's more, there were even landlubbers who couldn't swim among them.
"Yes, is it possible to experience it just by soaking in water?" a girl asked with a sad face.
No one knew the answer, so he could only shake his head helplessly, acting at the moment.
Anyway, Ye Xu made up his mind to stay at the edge of the pool, preferably near the ladder. Once in danger, grab the ladder and climb to the shore immediately.
The edge of the swimming pool is too smooth, it may not be able to be picked up, and the ladder is safe.
Ye Xu didn't have his swimsuit with him, so he had to go back to change it, but now he had to go to the swimming pool with the tour guide before leaving. The swimming pool is on the top floor of the cruise ship, occupying a large area at the top. There are glass walls on three sides, and you can directly see the sea view outside through the glass in the swimming pool.
More than 80 people were divided into four groups by the tour guide and went to four pools to experience swimming activities. Originally, a pool of 80 people seemed a bit crowded, but now it has shrunk to 20 people and it is much more empty.
Before entering the water, the tour guide told everyone that they had to wear a swimsuit to swim. People who don't have swimsuits can find their own way, anyway, she just wants the result.
Those who included swimsuits in their luggage were naturally happy, while players who didn't include them were miserable and had to buy first. Not to mention whether there is enough money to buy a swimsuit, the key is where to buy it, which is also a question.
Soon someone thought of duty-free shops with swimsuits in them. Unexpected people can only go back to the house to read the cruise ship brochure to see where there are shops that can sell swimwear.
Ye Xu didn't have to toss, he went back to the house, put on his swimming trunks, put on a jacket, and returned to the swimming pool. He didn't think that he would have extra energy to change into his usual clothes after swimming later, and he would probably go to the restaurant to feast on his swimming trunks.
So in order to avoid carrying a bunch of clothes when leaving, Ye Xu simply packed lightly and went out wearing sandals and slippers.
After returning to the swimming pool, Ye Xu found that there were not many people in the pool. There were about a dozen people who moved faster than him, but they basically didn't share the same pool as Ye Xu, so the pool Ye Xu was assigned to was still empty and there was no one.
Taking advantage of no one, Ye Xu hurriedly threw his coat on the reclining chair and went straight into the water, occupying the best position.
This pool is equipped with four ladders, and Ye Xu occupies the most remote one. The ladder in the corner has less competition pressure, and people later will not be the first to grab this ladder.
Ye Xu did warm-up exercises earnestly on the shore before launching into the water. After entering the water, he leaned beside the ladder, sank in the water with one hand and secretly grabbed the ladder in the water, then stayed in the pool in a half-lying position by the pool, turning his head to pretend to look at the seascape next to him.
The ladder was supposed to be next to the glass wall, and Ye Xu was lying in the gap between the ladder and the glass wall. It's really a corner here, very inconspicuous.
There is also a ladder opposite Ye Xu, also in the corner. The ladders at the other two ends of the pool are different, leaning against the aisle, giving people a sense of security, and closer to the gate of the swimming pool.
The water in the pool was not deep, and it hadn't even covered Ye Xu's chest. Ye Xu was not very tall, and he was petite among boys, so he could touch the bottom directly, which showed that this was a very shallow shallow pool.
Looking at a pool on the opposite side, it was obviously much deeper than his side. After a girl was careful about the groundwater, she couldn't reach her life and death, so she had to hold on to the shore in a panic, holding on to the ladder firmly and not letting go.
Ye Xu silently sympathized with her for three seconds.
Ten minutes later, more than half of the players came one after another, and there were still some poor little ones who were still looking for where to sell swimsuits. Ye Xu shrunk in the corner the whole time, watching other players go into the water.
The expected competition for the ladder did not happen, and most players may not realize the importance of the ladder. But none of that person was stupid enough to go swimming in the middle of the pool, basically lying on the shore.
I don't know if they want to save their energy so they don't have to swim hard when they go ashore, or they are worried that there is danger in the middle of the pool.
Ye Xu was afraid that the watch would not be waterproof, so he didn't wear it on his wrist, but put it on the bank where he was lying. From time to time, I glanced at the time and counted silently in my heart.
Because of his focus on time, Ye Xu didn't pay attention to the commotion that appeared in several other swimming pools. Anyway, since the player entered the water, there has been a movement, either the landlubber is struggling, or the player is grabbing the site, nothing to worry about.
Ye Xu usually took a glance and looked away, no longer paying attention.
When the minute hand in the watch in front of him reached 43 and the second hand reached 53, Ye Xu thought silently in his heart: Fifteen minutes are exactly.
The next second, he suddenly felt empty under his feet, the originally flat tiles at the bottom of the pool seemed to disappear, and he fell down.
coming!
Ye Xu immediately realized that this was the trap of the swimming pool.Without a word, he grabbed the ladder and climbed up the ladder.
Because the position is not directly facing the front of the ladder, it is a little difficult to climb up, but it is okay.Ye Xu quickly adjusted his face and approached the front of the ladder, intending to step on the ladder and go ashore first.
Itβs a big deal to come down later, anyway, time is cumulative.
However, as soon as Ye Xu stepped on the ladder, he suddenly felt that a pair of cold hands grabbed his ankle and pulled him down!
There is something in the water!
