PFRG: Chapter 128

So far, it had basically been confirmed that the so-called final celebration was actually allowing the still alive players in the arcade to collect these special game cards during the animal party.

If he wanted to say it was complicated, it definitely wasn’t a complicated process. Basically, they just needed to act according to the rules and find suitable natural gifts one after another within this period of time.

But to put it simply, as they discovered before, the game coins of all players would continue to decrease during this process. If no new game cards were found, players who had fewer game coins would often easily watch their game coins gradually decrease during this process.

Of course, even if they successfully found a special game card in the process to offset the negative effect of the continuous reduction of game coins, the game coins would be cleared even faster if they were unlucky and encountered nature’s punishment.

According to the rules of the arcade, players whose game coins were reset to zero could only accept the face of death, or based on known circumstances, it could be understood that they would be completely transformed into NPCs in doll costumes.

The two members of the Blue Mountain team had a very smooth journey. Wu Ruici knew very well that this success had nothing to do with the difficulty of the animal party itself. It was entirely due to the care that the Dawn team had given them along the way. The same was true for Xu Zhao, whom they met later. It was due to Chi Ting’s very calm help that they were able to get rid of the misfortune of being completely stuck in the instance and got a chance to be reborn.

Everything was due to Dawn.

The party was supposed to last 30 minutes in total. With only a few minutes left, they should be happy to have persisted in such a project. However, human greed started to kick in.

Wu Ruici actually knew that the phrase ‘pressing on further’ wasn’t suitable to appear in the unlimited world. But out of selfishness, he still had a glimmer of expectation and stared at Chi Ting.

Of course, he didn’t want to hear a rejection. However, if the other party expressed a desire to stay out of the matter, he would be able to accept it rationally. It was because it was the most normal answer.

After a short period of thinking, Chi Ting said calmly, “How about this? In the last bit of time, we will find as many as we can and wait until the party here is over. Then we will pay attention to the opening of other projects. If we can still get more game coins, that is for the best. If not, we’ll wait for players to gather at the service desk and get together to see if we can find a reasonable way to distribute them.

Wu Ruici had already prepared himself for being rejected, so he was completely stunned when he heard this answer. After coming to his senses, he reminded, “Once the party is over, the gift exchange area should be reopened. With your game coins, you can actually choose to leave directly…”

“It is okay. We aren’t in a hurry. If possible, it is better to help you all make good arrangements.” Chi Ting waved his hand in a disapproving manner. Then he felt someone patting his shoulder, so he looked back and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Yue Ren kindly reminded, “Are you sure you want to get all the players to discuss this together? Let’s not talk about other people. Look, the Jazz team that just left obviously doesn’t want everyone to love each other.”

“I know.” Chi Ting smiled slightly. “It’s okay. Just find a way to make them love each other when the time comes.”

“Think of a way?” Yue Ren pondered for a while and felt that this so-called ‘method’ was definitely a very interesting existence. He nodded with a smile. “It isn’t impossible. if you really decide, you can think of it in advance…”

He looked around at the flickering lights and smiled coldly. “They have emphasized many times that it is forbidden for players to kill each other in the arcade, but they have distributed such a large number of game cards that can change the amount of game coins before the end. Once the party is over, the other projects most likely won’t be reopened. We should prepare ourselves and see what type of fierce competition these game cards will cause next. In the end, this is also No 7’s usual trick.

Chi Ting obviously disagreed with this statement. “Why do we have to fight fiercely? We are all human beings. Fighting and killing aren’t good. I think peaceful trade is good.”

Yue Ren laughed. “Okay.”

He really wanted to see how to make this type of ‘peace deal’ with the Jazz team.

The two of them were communicating as if no one was around, and Wu Ruici stood there for a long time.

It wasn’t until his teammate Yu Gui came over and gave him a strange look that he spoke in surprise, “Captain, why are you crying?”

“Who is crying? It is just sand in my eyes!” Wu Ruici noticed the gazes of the two people next to him being drawn to him. He glanced away unnaturally, and rubbed his stiff eyes. “Let’s go, time is running out. We should go over there and take a look.”

“Huh? Okay, Captain, wait for me.”

Wu Ruici didn’t slow down when hearing the footsteps following behind him. He tried very hard to control himself and didn’t look back.

In fact, the current situation was indeed very troublesome, but it was only them who were in trouble.

Just as he reminded before, they had helped bear a lot of the nature’s punishment, but the number of game coins owned by all members of the Dawn team was enough for them to directly exchange for passes to leave. Even if the nature’s gifts they had obtained weren’t enough for Wu Ruici and his team to accumulate enough game coins, it was still their own business. In the final analysis, it had nothing to do with the Dawn team.

Wu Ruici really wanted to get help, but at the same time, he never expected that he could actually get help.

From what Captain Chi said, he was really trying hard to take them all away from here…

“Captain, why are you walking so fast? Slow down, I can’t keep up with you!” Yu Gui finally caught up with Wu Ruici, but the man in front of him stopped, and Yu Gui almost bumped into him. “OH my god, Captain. What is wrong with you?”

Wu Ruici stopped for a moment before exhaling slowly.

Even though he adjusted his mood, he could still feel his throat tightening when he turned back to look in the direction of Chi Ting and the others. He said, “Yu Gui.”

Yu Gui looked over. “Huh?”

Wu Real’s eyes showed an emotion that hadn’t appeared for a long time since he entered the unlimited world. “This time, it seems we have encountered real hope…”

Chi Ting could vaguely feel someone looking at him, but he didn’t sense any malicious intent. This meant he didn’t take it seriously. He called Ji Xingque and the others to help him continue with the search.

At present, the game coins of several members of their team were still sufficient. They had borne the punishment of several game cards one after another, but the huge amount of game coins won from the Jazz team was enough for them to continue to squander. The biggest problem now was to find more nature’s gifts so that they could use these game cards to increase the number of game coins. This way, other players such as Wu Ruici could also exchange them for passes to clear the level.

In this case, it was generally possible to save some.

However, according to the standards of their team’s consistent mission, every unnecessary casualty could be regarded as a mission failure. Chi Ting personally didn’t like this feeling of mission failure very much.

There wasn’t much time left. After a lot of effort, Chi Ting and his team finally collected five extra game cards, two of which were punishment cards and three were gift cards. After integrating those collected before, the final number of game coins wasn’t enough even if all the gift cards were given to Wu Ruici’s team.

Chi Ting felt as if he had accidentally turned a level breaking game into a puzzle game. He needed to think carefully about how to distribute these gift cards properly.

“Let’s go back to the service desk first.”

The moment Chi Ting heard Yue Ren say this, he lowered his head and counted the number of game cards while walking. The moment he turned around, he stopped in his tracks due to a subtle touch on his head. “…What are you doing?”

“It is nothing. I was just checking to see if there are any changes in other parts of your body.” Yue Ren had just pinched the cat’s ears. The moment he heard Chi Ting’s question, there were no fluctuations in his expression. He just smiled meaningfully. “It seems that everything is normal now.”

Seeing this look of smiling but not smiling, Chi Ting felt that he would be seeing a ghost if he really believed it.

But he didn’t say anything after seeing through it. He just slightly raised an eyebrow and said politely at the right time, “Now that you have finished checking, do you want me to check you too?”

In fact, he had previously thought that such ears would be very good to touch.

Yue Ren blinked and generously leaned over to offer his head. “Okay, then you can check it too.”

Chi Ting unceremoniously reached out and touched it.

Huh? It felt really good. No wonder why Yue Ren liked to find opportunities to rub it.

Yue Ren was originally smiling as he watched Chi Ting experience it. Then when the touches spread from his ears again and again, not ending for a long time, the smile on his face stiffened for a moment as he felt a strange feeling in his body.

After a moment, he asked, “Have you finished the inspection, Captain Chi?”

“Ah… I’m done with the inspection.” Chi Ting realized that he had become addicted to touching without realizing it. His fingertips paused for a moment. Then he cleared his throat and withdrew his hand.

Before finishing, he glanced at Yue Ren a bit strangely.

Was it his illusion?

Why did he feel that Yue Ren’s voice was a bit hoarse when he said that sentence just now?

Such a thought flashed through his mind. He didn’t have time to study it carefully. Then once he looked up, he saw the figure that appeared in front of the service desk clearly. His voice raised slightly. “Little Bird!”

“Understood!” Before he could finish his words, Ji Xingque rushed out like a gust of wind. Obviously, even without Chi Ting’s reminder, he had already taken action.

Once Wu Ruici heard the voice and looked up, what he saw was just this afterimage.

Due to the bulky doll costume, the player not far away seemed slow and stiff. This made the figure running towards him seem to be covered in light and soft wind.

Just as he was in a daze, he heard Chi Ting sigh softly. “Sure enough, I still need to have a good talk with the Jazz team…”
