Chapter 216: The Number One Gigolo Rescue Plan
Early morning of July 7, Lao Jingmai Internet Cafe, Box 23.
The wooden door slowly closed, and on the old wall, game posters placed one after another covered the cracks.
The fluorescent light of the computer screen illuminated their faces. Through the crack in the door, noisy voices such as "Protect AD", "I TP, I TP", and "Boss, give me a bowl of instant noodles" could be heard from outside the box.
Ke Mingye stood beside the table and chair, his hand on his chin, staring up at the panel that was the same size as the screen.
He thought to himself, "This is the first time I've seen such a small panel, and the name of this copy is also very shady - 'Pac-Man Game'."
When he saw the message, he thought that Pianguai was just kidding him by saying there was a hidden copy in the Internet cafe. But it turned out to be true, and if Pianguai hadn't become the network administrator, it is estimated that no player would have discovered this copy in a year.
Is this what it means... that fools have good fortune?
Or is it possible that this person is really some kind of boss behind the scenes?
It's the kind that looks crazy, but in fact it's the system developers who are pretending to be stupid.
He deliberately serves as the network administrator downstairs in my house. Could it be that he does this to monitor a dangerous person like me?
Thinking of this, Ke Mingye turned his head and looked at Pian Juan.
Seeing the proud expression on Paranoid's face, as if a kid had discovered a secret base and couldn't wait to show off to his friends, he immediately gave up the idea and sighed.
Ke Mingye rubbed the Tianming acupoint and asked, "Why did you choose this Internet cafe?"
"Because I have no education and no ID card, the owners of other Internet cafes won't accept me." Paranoia said calmly, "There's nothing I can do. They can't see my extraordinary talent. There are many good horses in the world, but not many good horse trainers. Lord Paranoia has already understood the cruelty of this world. You don't need to comfort me, Spider-Man."
"That's true."
Ke Mingye sighed, and for a moment he couldn't find any flaws in his wording.
He said: "This copy looks very dark... Are they asking us to enter the computer?"
Paranoia crossed his shoulders and nodded proudly, "Yes, we will enter a 2D world. There will be a Pac-Man inside, and he is the boss. When Pac-Man swallows beans, his movement speed will increase. If you are eaten by him, you are done for. Mr. Paranoia has been eaten many times."
Ke Mingye glanced at him and said uncertainly.
"You've been eaten so many times, you can't just keep giving it away for free, can you figure out what the problem is? Give me some tips."
"Not enough output. Pac-Man will soon reach a very scary level, so we have to kill him quickly."
"How scary is that?"
"It takes two seconds to go around the entire map. It's so terrifying." The paranoid look was solemn.
"Oh, so it's like there's a time limit for killing it." Ke Mingye thought for a moment, "Anyway, we just need to kill it before it eats us, right?"
"Yes, that's what it means."
Paranoid nodded.
"Okay, the number of people is limited to four, and there are two people coming." Ke Mingye glanced at the rules on the panel, "Let's wait for them for a while, but I don't know if these two pigeon spirits will come."
As he said this, he looked at the discussion group panel.
【Zai Bing: I’m coming. 】
[Unexplainable dream: Take me with you, I just woke up. ]
【Cai Bing: Then I will go find you.】
[Unexplainable dream: Okay, I'll wait for you at the hotel. ]
[Cai Bing: Qing Meng, if I find you taking a nap after I go over, I will have to post the late-night crying diary I saw when I hacked into your phone that day.]
[Unexplainable Dream: God damn crying diary, you are a human being, you learn hacking technology just to satisfy your voyeurism, right? ]
【Cai Bing: Oh, do you want me to recite it again? Something like "I miss my mom so much", "Should I not have been so rebellious before? Are they worried about me now?"】
[Unexplainable dream: You are fucked, I will fight you 1v1 in the hotel when you come.]
[Cai Bing: It's good, I love it, please update more. I will follow your diary when I have time. Also, some of your gay porn stories are good too. Is it true that little girls like this kind of stuff?]
【Failed Man: Read pornographic stories.】
[Cai Bing: If I post this, I will be killed. ]
[Unexplainable dream: I'm going to defect and stop being a player. Just wait for me, I'll kill you one by one.]
[Cai Bing: Okay, I was just kidding. I was just installing something on your phone last time and I happened to see it.]
[Unexplainable Dream: So what did you install on my phone? ]
[Zai Bing: Tracking device, in case you are caught by the authorities, we won't be able to save you. ]
[Anti-Dog: I have something to do for now. You guys should finish the dungeon first. After you finish, meet at the train station. It just so happens that the train station is also in Lao Jingmai, so it's close.]
[Failed Man: The copy is limited to 4 people, so there is no room for you, an educated person.]
[Anti-dog: Yesterday you were still in the "You jump I jump" category, but today I have no chance to do so. You are indeed worthy of me.]
[Failed Man: So what are you talking about? Why did you suddenly gather together? ]
[Anti-dog: I'll tell you when the ice is ready. ]
[Failed Man: Riddler, right?]
[Failed Man: @Cut the ice, @Unexplainable dream, so are you two coming or not? ]
[Unexplainable dream: I have already washed my face, how could it not come. ]
[Cai Bing: Come on, can you come and meet me in your real body, so that our sister Qing Meng can see the cute little brother. ]
[Unexplainable Dream: Your mom, am I the only one in the group who hasn't seen Spider-Man in real life? ]
[Paranoia: Even adults have never seen such a paranoid person.]
[Unexplainable dream: Everyone treats you as a brother, you are playing Mission Impossible among us, right? ]
【Failed Man: Instigated by intellectuals. 】
[Failed Man: I'll wait for you for an hour. Be careful on the road. There are a lot of troubles in the old Jingmai district.]
After sending the message, Ke Mingye controlled the puppet and sat in the box to play Warcraft 3 for a while, and found an RPG map to play.
I was not idle either. I ran a lap along the periphery of the Laojingmai Street District, and then did a hundred push-ups without even breathing hard.
Now with the improvement of his spiritual power attributes, it is not difficult for him to do two things at once, and he can do it without activating "personality tear".
Soon, he completed his daily tasks.
[Received the reward for daily task 2 "One Hundred Push-ups", and obtained 2 attribute points that can be freely allocated. ]
[Your "Physical Fitness" attribute changes: 74 → 76 points (↑2 points)]
[Received the reward for daily task 1 "Run 6000 meters" and got a chance to win a lucky draw. ]
The reward wheel slowly unfolded before his eyes, and the texts in six areas came into view.
[3000. 2000 mall coins; . C-level equipment card; . E-level skill selection card; . One copy double experience card; . One lottery ticket; . experience points. ]
Then, the pointer began to rotate at high speed, and finally slowly stopped above area ④.
[Congratulations, you have received the reward for area ④: a copy of the double experience card (after using it, the experience value of the next copy you challenge will be doubled). ]
"Although it's not very useful, it's just right to use it at this time."
Ke Mingye murmured, took a look at the introduction, and clicked to use it without thinking.
[You have used a copy double experience card. The experience you get in the next copy will be doubled.]
Then he returned home, lay back on the bed and closed his eyes to rest, thinking that he would feel refreshed now that his second brother was gone, and he wouldn't have to worry about anything he did at home.
The Shadow Ninja Clan is in chaos right now, and the second brother is busy sorting out the internal affairs. He won't be back from Shadow Sail Mountain for at least a while, and the next time we see him, it will probably be when the second dragon of disaster appears in the world.
As for the alien mom, if she really wants to know what he is doing at home, she should be able to find out with just a flick of her finger.
After all, Ke Mingye was not powerful enough to prevent any unknown alien technology or alien abilities. Therefore, all his actions at home were based on the premise that his mother already knew that he was a player, so he did what he was supposed to do.
He closed his eyelids and concentrated on controlling the puppet.
After waiting in the box for a while, Cai Bing and Qing Meng arrived at Lao Jingmai Internet Cafe.
The two girls standing at the entrance of the Internet cafe were quite eye-catching. Among the group of internet-addicted teenagers with skinny bodies and sallow faces, the two girls seemed out of place in terms of gender or appearance.
Cai Bing still had shoulder-length curly hair, wearing a white shirt and jeans, with sleeves rolled up to the wrists, and holding a lollipop in his mouth;
Qing Meng still had long light blue hair tied into two ponytails hanging down her head. She wore a black jacket, a punk T-shirt, and a pair of light blue ripped jeans. A band-aid covered the blue heart tattooed on the corner of her eye. Her expression was the same as always, giving people a feeling that she was not easy to mess with.
Ke Mingye stood at the door of Box 7 and waved at them helplessly, but the two of them did not notice him.
Fortunately, Pian Juan quickly led them to Box No. 7, then told the proprietress that he was going to the bathroom. When she wasn't paying attention, he slipped into the box and locked the door.
Qing Meng tilted her head and said to Ke Mingye, "Where did you say you would use your real body?"
Cai Bing lowered his head, playing with his phone while saying, "You're shy, right? This is what innocent boys are like."
Ke Mingye turned his head to look at Qingmeng and explained without hesitation.
"My original body doesn't live in the Old Jingmai District. It's too far away, and it's not convenient to come here with my original body."
Cai Bing sat down on the chair, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and said teasingly.
"Yes, yes, yes, your real body is too far away from the old Jingmai Street District."
Pianqi rubbed his nose with his hand and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, I can understand you, Spider-Man. Your home is so far away from the old Jingmai Street District, and you came to comfort Mr. Pianqi so early in the morning. I am very touched."
Ke Mingye sighed, nodded and patted his shoulder: "Yeah, yeah, I took several buses to get here early in the morning, it must be tiring."
"Isn't it really just a few steps downstairs?"
Cai Bing teased in a voice that only he could hear.
"If someone like me knows the location of my house, I will be dead. What if he gets a brain cramp and knocks on my door? I can't let my dad open the door for him, and then we will fight each other, right?"
Ke Mingye asked back in a low voice.
Qing Meng hugged his shoulders and said to Pian Fan: "By the way, you are a really bad network administrator. You play games in a private room with a guest in the middle of work?"
"Don't underestimate the wisdom of Mr. Paranoia." Paranoia said disdainfully, "I said I was going to the bathroom, it's not too much to finish the dungeon in ten minutes."
Ke Mingye looked at Cai Bing and asked, "So, what is that thing that the intellectuals are talking about?"
Hearing this, Cai Bing replied without even looking up, "Just an hour ago, a player in Japan was arrested by Japanese officials while carrying out a mission against the Superhuman Organization."
"what?"
Ke Mingye was stunned, his brain almost shut down, and his thoughts were like a clogged toilet, unable to flow smoothly.
It took him a moment to react, thinking that if this player was caught, wouldn’t the anti-super-human organization, or even several anti-super-human organizations, be in trouble?
Thinking of this, he continued to ask: "Don't they only carry out missions when they are sure that everything is foolproof? How could they be caught so easily?"
Cai Bing said, "If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. But to be honest, their luck was not very good this time. They happened to run into that Japanese national treasure-level magical girl nearby, and they were caught by her."
Ke Mingye was silent for a while: "Are you serious?"
With Cai Bing's personality, he would not be surprised by any joke. He really hoped that this was a joke, otherwise he would be in big trouble.
"Seriously." Cai Bing said expressionlessly, "You guys have to rush over to save him later. Piansuan and I don't have the copy card No. 7, so we can't take the teleportation train and get to Japan quickly."
Hearing this, Qing Meng asked, "I've always wanted to ask, isn't it better to leave this matter to the anti-superhuman organization called 'Tengu Front'? Why do we have to save him?"
"First of all, the person who was arrested was a player, and his arrest will have a lot of negative impact on us."
Cai Bing paused and said, "Secondly, the anti-superhuman organization stationed in Tokyo will find it difficult to rescue him from the authorities in a short period of time unless they launch a large-scale riot that threatens the lives of civilians. It will be too late if they delay any longer. He will soon be transferred to a place no one knows."
She raised her hand and typed on her phone, then continued, "But if we players cooperate, it shouldn't be difficult to rescue him without anyone noticing while he's still imprisoned in the Japan Superhero Association."
Qing Meng said, "Okay."
Paranoia said, "It's useless. If it was Paranoia-sama, he wouldn't have been caught."
Ke Mingye thought for a while and asked, "So, which player was caught?" He hesitated for two seconds, "It can't be Orange Peel, right?"
"The number one gigolo." Cai Bing replied.
"That's even more doomed." Ke Mingye was shocked. "The No. 1 Gigolo still has a certain status in the Tengu Front. If the authorities force him to confess some key information, the anti-superhuman organization will probably not be able to survive in Japan. It would not be surprising if it was wiped out by the Superhero Association overnight."
Qing Meng glared at him, "You'd rather Orange Peel be caught, right?"
Ke Mingye sighed, "But it's true. Juzipi knows more about us. If Laoju is caught, my identities will also be exposed."
Cai Bing said calmly, "Anti-Dog is heading towards the Old Jingmai District. It will take some time for him to get here. Before that, we can just clear this instance. There will be no conflict in our schedule."
"Then let's make a quick decision, get through this quickly, and then meet up with the anti-dogs. We still have to rescue people over there."
After saying that, Ke Mingye introduced the general rules of this copy to the two latecomers, then he put his hand on the panel and turned to look at the other three people.
Both Piansuan and Qingmeng placed their hands on the panel without thinking.
The dark panel was gradually filled with dazzling fluorescence, and the text above was glowing slightly.
Seeing that one hand was missing, the three of them turned their eyes to Cai Bing, "What are you doing, hacker girl?"
At this time, Cai Bing observed the computer behind the panel for a while and found that a "Pac-Man game" from the last century was suddenly opened on the computer.
So, she said calmly, "I won't go."
"Ah?" Qing Meng tilted her eyebrows, "No, sister, you can slack off during the dungeon. Isn't this missing a reward?"
"No, since the dungeon is conducted in the game, I want to see if I can hack the game, just as an experiment." Cai Bing paused, "As for the reward... it doesn't matter."
As she spoke, she connected her phone to another computer next to her via USB to avoid direct contact with the computer used to load the copy, so as to avoid being involved in the copy.
The next moment, the figures of Pianjuan, Qingmeng, and Ke Mingye disappeared along with the copy panel, and she was the only one left in the box.
At this moment, Cai Bing raised his eyebrows, and saw an incredible scene suddenly appeared on the computer on the far right of the box.
She turned her head and looked above the small screen. Ke Mingye, Piansuan and Qingmeng had turned into three cartoon pixel figures, appearing in the 2D scene interface of the "Pac-Man" game running on the computer.
In addition to these three 2D pixel figures, there are two horizontal bars outlined by white lines floating in the interface, and four dark walls blocking the end.
This means that they have to move in such a narrow map and defeat the Boss.
Soon after, a palm-sized yellow round creature appeared on the far right side of the game interface.
It looked ahead, opened its pixelated mouth, and moved forward while chewing the beans scattered on the ground, and its speed was slowly increasing.
In the game interface, the pixel man Ke Mingye took out a spider web launcher, shot spider silk towards a horizontal bar above, climbed upwards, and escaped.
Paranoia took out a cartoon knife and transformed into the magical girl Hongyue. He immediately flew upwards with Qingmeng in his arms, avoiding Pac-Man's pursuit.
Seeing that the three people were not swallowed by it, Cai Bing breathed a sigh of relief.
She stared at the thumb-sized pixel figure of Ke Mingye in the game interface, and couldn't help but pick up her phone to take a picture.
Then, Cai Bing put her hands together and pushed them forward to stretch her muscles. Her lazy eyes gradually became serious. She controlled the chat panel with her mind and sent a message to Fan Quan.
[Cai Bing: Guess the prize, can I hack this game? 】
Soon, Anti-Dog replied to the message.
[Anti-dog: I bet you can’t do it. ]
