Chapter 422: Alien Land (VI)
"Players PK."
Bai Lianlian and Song Jiarui, who were not far from the maze, were staring at them.
In a short period of time, Yan Zhen and Liu Xingquan exchanged opinions quickly.
Judging from the PK rules just announced, the key to player PK is to compare the number of gems.
Yan Zhen's team got a magic scroll that damages 20 HP when exploring the maze. Each player only has 10 HP, which means that this scroll can kill the player in one hit. Whoever strikes first wins. Bai Lianlian and Song Jiarui probably also have similar scrolls or magic that can kill in one hit. So the PK match between the two teams is actually to see who can win the first move.
Each team has only 10 holy gems, which means the number of holy gems is limited. After entering the maze, you may meet other players many times. The system reminds players that except for PK matches, players are not allowed to attack each other. And every time players meet, they will be forced to enter a PK match, so it is very important to keep a certain number of holy gems.
Yan Zhen said: "If we lose, there is a high chance that we will be kicked out."
Liu Xingquan said: "But if we consume too many stones in this match, it will be disadvantageous in the subsequent PK matches."
So now the policy is very clear, can't lose, and can't consume too many gems.
Yan Zhen raised his eyes and looked at the other side. There was no doubt that the other party had the same idea.
How many gems do you need to win? If you have five, will the opponent definitely have less than five? From the perspective of winning this game, 9 gems have the highest chance of winning, but what about the PK match later?
This is the psychological game between winning rate and number.
Fortunately, the players they PKed for the first time were Song Jiarui and Bai Lianlian, not Fan Yingjie who was with a stranger, nor the completely unknown stranger Nelligabawa and his fierce male servants.
Song Jiarui was a classmate of Yan Zhen and Liu Xingquan. Although Bai Lianlian was from the next class, she was also a familiar classmate who was seen everywhere in the school. A familiar female classmate was always better than a stranger who knew nothing about her.
"Hey." Yan Zhen waved to Song Jiarui and Bai Lianlian, "Are you guys doing well?"
Song Jiarui said: "It's OK."
Bai Lianlian said with a smile: "I think we are doing pretty well."
Judging from the appearance of the two girls, their clothes were neat and their faces were calm, which seemed to indicate that they did not encounter too many troubles in their maze exploration. More importantly, there was a huge creature standing behind the two girls. It looked like a tree man with long legs, and when it moved, its slender leaves made a low rustling sound. Dark gum flowed in several grooves of the rough bark, which was the tree man's visual organ. There was no doubt that this tree man was the teammate of the two girls.
Liu Xingquan stared at the tree man for a long time, his face full of confusion as to why your team has a strong tree man who looks capable of fighting, while our team only has a lazy little spider.
"I was wondering, how many gems are you planning to offer?" Yan Zhen asked.
"Well..." Song Jiarui opened her mouth but didn't say anything, her eyes flashing with vigilance. Bai Lianlian asked back, "Oh, we have no idea at all. What about you?"
She immediately threw the question back to them.
Yan Zhen said, "Then I will be frank. We have a prop that can kill with one strike." He looked at Song Jiarui and Bai Lianlian, whose expressions were uncertain. "I guess you have one too."
“…”
"So whoever gets the first move will be the winner of the PK match." Yan Zhen said simply, "We all have 10 holy gems now, and the comparison will consume gems. If we want to win in the future, we can't consume too many gems now. So the essence of this game is how to avoid losing the game while consuming the least gems."
Bai Lianlian said: "What do you want to say?"
Yan Zhen said: "What I mean is - let's join forces!"
Song Jiarui and Bai Lianlian: "Ah?"
"In my opinion, it is meaningless to consume a large number of holy gems in the early stage of the game. Fan Yingjie's team seems to have obtained powerful weapons and will be a very troublesome competitor. Nirvana..."
Liu Xingquan said expressionlessly, "Neri Gabawa and his servants."
"The information about Nie Sha Sha's team is unknown, so we should be most wary of them." Yan Zhen said, "Compared to Fan Yingjie who is with a strange uncle, I think our two teams know each other best and can definitely form an alliance."
"..." Song Jiarui's eyes lit up, but Bai Lianlian beside her still had a look of doubt on her face.
"We have four teams, which means we can't have just one gem-consuming match. So we have to limit the gem consumption in the first match to a minimum so that we have a chance to win the following matches. Only if our two teams form an alliance can we be invincible in this match."
"But……"
Liu Xingquan said: "Please believe me, please believe Yan Zhen."
Normally, the monitor Liu Xingquan is a man of few words, but he has an invisible natural prestige among his classmates due to his excellent grades and outstanding abilities. His words enhance the persuasiveness of Yan Zhen's words.
Song Jiarui had obviously relaxed, but Bai Lianlian next to her still had a look of doubt on her face.
"You make it sound simple, but why should we believe you?" Bai Lianlian said, "How can we know that you are not deliberately deceiving us?"
"Lianlian..." Song Jiarui said hesitantly.
"Don't trust them!" Bai Lianlian said, "This matter is not as easy as they say. If we lose this game, we will lose completely and there will be no room for regret!"
Yes, there is no room for maneuver in this contest, only trust and disbelief.
Yan Zhen raised his eyes and looked at them, "To show my sincerity, I have a suggestion."
…
…
The system sound rang in the ears of both teams of players at the same time.
[Please enter the number of holy gems you want to offer in the input device. The good god will evaluate your faith. Please make sure to reach an agreement with your teammates before entering. If the numbers entered by the two teammates are inconsistent, the team will be automatically judged as a failure. ]
Yan Zhen and Liu Xingquan looked at each other, raised their hands and entered numbers into the input device.
Beep. Beep.
Song Jiarui and Bai Lianlian pressed their fingers on the input device.
Beep. Beep.
[Both teams have completed their offerings to the good god.]
Yan Zhen and Liu Xingquan held their breath.
What will be the result? The best outcome brought by trust or failure caused by betrayal?
As long as one side changes and escalates, the other side will be completely defeated...
Bai Lianlian and Song Jiarui held each other's hands tightly.
Now announce the results:
[Yan Zhen, Liu Xingquan's team presented 1 holy gem. ]
[Bai Lianlian, Song Jiarui's team presented 1 holy gem. ]
【Your devotion to the good god is equally pure.】
[The two teams of heroes have reached a balance. ]
[The good god said, please keep going. ]
[From this moment on, a random team will be teleported to another level of the maze.]
"call……"
All four of them breathed a sigh of relief. Song Jiarui's white and delicate nose was covered with sweat. She said softly, "Thank you, Yan Zhen, Liu Xingquan."
Bai Lianlian pursed her lips and said nothing, but her eyes also changed from tense to relaxed.
"We are the ones who should say thank you," Yan Zhen replied, "I wish you good luck on your journey."
Yan Zhen and Liu Xingquan were teleported away in a flash of light.
They used their trust in each other to achieve the best outcome of the PK game. When the two teams met and had to fight, they only consumed the least amount of gems to achieve a draw, avoiding a life-and-death battle. Both teams currently have the maximum number of holy gems, preserving their manpower for the next encounter with other teams.
The situation on the field at this moment is:
Yan Zhen, Liu Xingquan team: 9 holy gems.
Bai Lianlian, Song Jiarui team: 9 holy gems.
Fan Yingjie, Terminator Team: 10 Holy Gems.
Nerigabawa and his team of fierce male servants: 10 holy gems .
…
…
"Fortunately, we met Bai Lianlian and Song Jiarui. If it was Fan Yingjie's team or Nie Shishi, we really don't know what the ending would be." Yan Zhen said.
Liu Xingquan said: "I didn't expect Song Jiarui and the others to have such amazing skills."
In the conversation before the PK match, Yan Zhen took the lead in telling them the skills they had and took out a small spider from his pocket to show them. This furry little spider had caused some psychological trauma to Bai Lianlian and Song Jiarui in the novice level. After Yan Zhen took out the little spider, Bai Lianlian couldn't help but scream.
With the little spider as evidence, Yan Zhen's words were quite credible. Seeing Yan Zhen's sincere attitude, as an exchange of information for the alliance, Song Jiarui and Bai Lianlian also told about the God-given skills they had obtained. The two girls got a magic rune behind the Plum Blossom Gate, which can heal, add blood, and dispel debuffs. In addition to basic blood recovery, this life skill also has the effect of increasing the trust of monsters after healing them, and recruiting monsters as teammates. The tree man behind them is the teammate they recruited after being healed.
In short, Bai Lianlian and Song Jiarui have added a powerful teammate with this skill. Just like what Spider-Man said, they have a huge advantage.
Yan Zhen suspected that Bai Lianlian and Song Jiarui had hidden some information about their skills. Judging from the current situation, Bai Lianlian and Song Jiarui were definitely not opponents that Yan Zhen's team could face head-on.
But the key to the maze PK competition is the holy gem.
Avoid war and form alliances, actively use information to exchange for trust, persuade the other party to consume less holy gems to preserve strength, and fortunately the other party is Song Jiarui and Bai Lianlian who are familiar with each other, so this best ending can be achieved.
Now Yan Zhen and Liu Xingquan were teleported to a new floor.
"Look, Yan Zhen." Liu Xingquan raised his head and pointed to the edge of the maze gate, on which was written a big number 6. "The gate of the maze we explored before had 1 written on it, and the gate of the new maze has 6 written on it."
"It should mean the sixth level of the maze." Yan Zhen said, "So it seems that we were exploring the first level of the maze, which means that different teams are randomly sent to different levels of the maze. When two teams meet on the same maze level, they will be forced into PK mode."
"Well." Liu Xingquan raised his foot and pushed open the door, "Let's continue exploring."
Yan Zhen took out the little spider and said, "Let's get started, let's get started!!"
The little spider shook its legs lazily, jumped off Yan Zhen's palm, and disappeared into the maze.
Liu Xingquan took out the paper and started their exploration.
After realizing that the maze was essentially a minesweeper game, they sped up their exploration speed several times. The spiders on this floor marked a trap room and a monster room for them.
Relying on the leaf patterns on the wall, they avoided one dangerous and time-consuming monster room after another, and only stepped on a landmine in the final uncertain three-choice. This time the monster in the monster room was a large caterpillar with a gorgeous body, and its attack could cause poisonous damage.
Fortunately, Yan Zhen and Liu Xingquan picked up a wind magic damage scroll that dealt 6 health damage during the exploration of this level. After a round of fighting, the big caterpillar was smashed to death by them.
The big caterpillar dropped a mealworm.
Afterwards, the two tired people found a box of hot pizza in the back room.
[Margherita pizza is delicious and can be used to restore health and stamina. You should know how to use it.]
This is, of course, a tool placed there by me, the omnipotent one.
This pizza will not affect their game progress in any way. It is just a box of pizza that can restore physical strength and health, just like the props scattered in the maze. In order to give gamers a better experience, these supplies are always provided to them in a random manner. I am sure that this action will not be discovered by the game central system.
This pizza was manna in the desert for the two boys.
The two tired and hungry boys opened the pizza box, tore the pizza, and the rich cheese pulled out long strings. The boys laughed with joy.
The alien world can simulate the most delicate taste, just like the most real experience. Yan Zhen and Liu Xingquan ate with big mouthfuls. For them with empty stomachs at the moment, this is a delicacy that is no less than a meal in a five-star hotel.
After finishing the pizza, both of them had a look of happiness and satisfaction on their faces.
"Yan Zhen."
"Um?"
“It’s really interesting.”
"Um."
"It's completely different from my usual daily life, it's like something out of a movie or cartoon." Liu Xingquan murmured.
Yan Zhen tilted his head, "Yeah."
"I originally thought that there would be no such thing in the world..." Liu Xingquan said, "No, maybe it's because I am too boring."
"I didn't believe in Mr. Air at first."
“Choi Mingzhi would definitely be envious if he knew.”
"If it weren't for Mr. Air... Never mind, maybe I'll have a chance to bring him along in the future." Yan Zhen narrowed his eyes.
"Yan Zhen?"
"Thank you."
"What are you talking about?"
"Thank you for taking me on such a magical adventure." Liu Xingquan lowered his head, his ears reddened, "It feels like a miracle."
"Maybe we will have such an experience again in the future." Yan Zhen said with a smile.
"Sometimes I often wonder if this is all a dream and if I will forget all these fun adventures when I wake up."
"No, this is not a dream, we will never forget it." Yan Zhen said, his tone was firm, and he rejected Liu Xingquan's conjecture with an affirmative tone. At that moment, I felt that his sight passed through the dome of the game and pierced straight at me, like a sharp invisible arrow.
I don't want to forget you, Mr. Air.
…
…
I looked away and shifted my attention to the other side of the alien game.
On a certain level of the alien maze, the other two teams met.
Those were the Terminators, Fan Yingjie's team and Neli Gabawa and his servants.
The Terminator and Neligabava smiled at the same time, but their expressions were full of hostility. Their cold eyes met in the air, and even the temperature around them seemed to drop several degrees in an instant. Fan Yingjie stood aside, not even daring to breathe.
The Terminator, the man in a jacket who looks like Schwarzenegger, said, "I have a suggestion."
Nerigabawa smiled and said, "I also have a suggestion."
The Terminator said, "My suggestion is that each team should produce one Holy Gem, using the least cost and avoiding the war peacefully. What do you think?"
"That's what I meant."
"Great, then we'll enter one each."
The two teams stared at each other, as if their gazes could pierce through each other's hearts. Then the system voice sounded:
[Fan Yingjie, the Terminator Team, Neligabawa and his servants enter PK mode. ]
[Please enter the number of holy gems you want to offer in the input device. The good god will evaluate your faith. Please make sure to reach an agreement with your teammates before entering. If the numbers entered by the two teammates are inconsistent, the team will be automatically judged as a failure. ]
The Terminator whispered something to Fan Yingjie, who nodded. They raised their hands and entered numbers into the input device.
Beep. Beep.
Nerigabhava and his servants entered the numbers.
Beep. Beep.
[Both teams have completed their offerings to the good god.]
Now announce the results:
[Fan Yingjie, the Terminator team presented 3 holy gems. ]
[Nerigabawa, Nerigabawa's servant team presented three holy gems. ]
【Your devotion to the good god is equally pure.】
[The two teams of heroes have reached a balance. ]
[The good god said, please keep going. ]
[From now on, a random team will be teleported to another level of the maze. ]
Nerigabawa glared at the Terminator, his eyes were as cold as ice, "It seems that you are not very honest."
The Terminator sneered, "Same here, same here."
They glared at each other maliciously, despised each other's insignificant tricks, and watched each other leave.
After Neligabava and his macho servant disappeared, Fan Yingjie shouted, "What the hell is this! You predicted my prediction, and I predicted that you predicted my prediction!!"
The situation on the field at this moment is:
Yan Zhen, Liu Xingquan team: 9 holy gems.
Bai Lianlian, Song Jiarui team: 9 holy gems.
Fan Yingjie, Terminator Team: 7 Holy Gems.
Nerigabawa and his team of fierce male servants: 7 holy gems.
