Chapter 269 - 269 268 You Can Actually Play Like This
?Chapter 269: Chapter 268: You Can Actually Play Like This Chapter 269: Chapter 268: You Can Actually Play Like This Luo Ning glanced at Bo Xuan and guessed that he might have also thought about recording, but was a step too slow.
She figured that at first, he hadn’t anticipated that the main quest’s crucial clues would be communicated entirely via audio.
She said, “Let’s get in the car first, otherwise those zombies will come back soon.”
Yue Xiao and the others then looked at the computer with some regret.
If they could have smashed it, only their team would have obtained the most comprehensive clue, and they could have gained an advantage over the other teams.
Bo Xuan could see what they were thinking,
and while walking, he said with a laugh, “Even if it wasn’t emphasized earlier that destroying the computer was not allowed, we wouldn’t need to do that.”
Yue Xiao asked, puzzled, “Why not?”
Bo Xuan wanted to facepalm; he didn’t answer immediately but instead said to Luo Ning, “Brother Ning, you tell him.”
Luo Ning nodded and said to Yue Xiao, “It’s about shooting the bird thing that leads the flock.”
“If we were the only team to obtain the complete key clue, we’d definitely become a thorn in the side of the remaining one hundred and nineteen teams, becoming a target for their combined efforts, so it’s unnecessary.”
From the time she had met them, she had come to understand the nature of these four men.
She found that the three teammates of Yue Xiao only liked to use their brains when fighting, thinking about offense and defense.
But on a regular basis, they were very dependent on Bo Xuan, their captain, for brainwork.
Yue Xiao and Jin Feiyang were not dumb and just didn’t like to think much; at Luo Ning’s words, they instantly understood.
The two nodded, “That’s true. If we became a target for other teams, it would be quite troublesome.”
Luo Ning continued, “Moreover, with the apocalypse upon us and the number of zombies increasing, along with their levels, relying solely on our own strength to complete the main quest’s three comprehensive elements is too limited.”
Yue Xiao smacked his lips, “So, our advantage of being first to get the clue is just to act faster?”
Luo Ning couldn’t help but laugh, “Who said that’s the only advantage we have?”
She raised her hand and shook it, “Don’t forget, I recorded it.”
Yue Xiao asked, “Both of you just said the recording is important. Can you explain?”
The text message had already indicated that the clues were in Central Square. Other teams would find the cashier and obtain the full clues after their arrival, so their recording didn’t seem to be of much use.
Luo Ning said to Bo Xuan, “This time you tell them.”
Yue Xiao: “…”
Jin Feiyang twitched the corner of his lips and said, “Are you two showing off your IQ in front of us?”
[Haha, you clueless guys, did you just realize that?]
Bo Xuan chuckled, “This is the city’s central area, surrounded by office buildings full of workers. Today, with the apocalypse just beginning, many zombies are only now emerging from these buildings.”
“The longer time drags on, the more zombies there will be. The later teams trying to get the clues will find it increasingly difficult.”
“Moreover, without sharp observational skills like Luo Ning’s, it’s also hard to quickly discover the true location of the clues hidden in the stele.”
“So I think even the teams that arrive early might not necessarily get the clues smoothly.”
He continued, “But we have the clue in our hands, which makes it quite valuable.”
By the time he finished speaking, they had already run back to the car, opened the door, and got inside.
Fan Ye looked at the zombies that had regrouped and surrounded them, slammed the accelerator, and sped off.
Inside the car, Jin Feiyang asked, “You and Luo Ning mean to sell the clue we found?”
Bo Xuan nodded, “Exactly.”
Yue Xiao asked, “It’s already the apocalypse. Money is useless now. What kind of valuable thing can they offer to buy it with?”
This time Luo Ning replied, “That’s easy. They can pay with points.”
“We’ll sign a points transfer agreement with them; after one month is up, we’ll get them.”
Yue Xiao: “…” They had never thought of that.
“Will they agree to it?”
Overall points were tied to the final ranking.
Luo Ning said with a smile, “If they’re not willing, they can continue to waste time. Every day they delay, they’ll lose more than they would by purchasing the clue from us.”
Yue Xiao asked, uncertain, “But will the organizers allow the transfer?”
If so, then not only the remaining one hundred and ninety-nine teams could come to them to buy the clue.
Even if only a few dozen teams did, and each team sold for one point, they could easily earn dozens of points.
Luo Ning replied, “It’s allowed.”
Yue Xiao, puzzled, “How do you know? The male host didn’t say anything about this before!”
The others also looked at Luo Ning, as they hadn’t heard about any transfer being possible.
Luo Ning pointed to the smartwatch she was wearing, “I asked.”
“Ah, how did you ask?” They were all bewildered.
Luo Ning replied, “I noticed the messages sent to us came from a fixed number, which I guessed was sent by an AI system.”
“So just now, with a try-and-see attitude, I sent a message to that number asking about it.”
“The AI actually responded.”
“This matter won’t be interfered with by it. If someone wants to transfer points, they just need to write a transfer agreement and send it to this number, and that would be sufficient.”
She realized the organizers’ research team had fully entrusted Apocalypse City to the control of the AI system.
This was probably also to test and let people around the world see not only how realistic the 6D technology projections were but also how intelligent the AI system had become.
Therefore, as long as they didn’t violate the initial rules set by the organizers and the research team for the AI system, they could exploit loopholes.
Yue Xiao and the others: “…”
They were completely stunned, “You can really play like this?”
This time, not just Yue Xiao and the others, but also Bo Xuan stared at Luo Ning in amazement.
He too wanted to ask, can you really play like this?
Just now, he had been thinking about how to exchange clues for favors.
For example, offering clues to a certain team in exchange for their assistance in carrying out high-difficulty missions.
However, this approach also had a downside, as these teams might renege on their promises since there is no legal constraint in the apocalypse.
Luo Ning chuckled, “There was no rule against playing like this!”
“So I just thought I’d give it a shot, and who knew it would work.”
Yue Xiao and the others didn’t know what to say at this moment.
Apart from giving a thumbs up, what else could they do? “You’re amazing!”
[Indeed, how does Luo Ning’s brain work? Is her IQ maxed out or what?]
[Who would’ve thought you could play like that!]
[Yeah, only Luo Ning would research the number sending them messages, then send a query back like that.]
[So from the moment of recording, Luo Ning must have already figured out how to profit by selling the key clue?]
[Brother Ning’s moves are too slick; respect!]
[No wonder she can dominate the largest live streaming window. Wow!]
[Brother Ning is powerful; I’m convinced by no one else but you!]
