No one expected that after everyone's hard work, they discovered that there were five roads in total on the rooftop of a high-rise building that seemed completely cut off from the outside world.
In addition to the rooftop door, cleaning crane and scaffolding, Pina also discovered a route that was so hidden that one had to admire her observation skills: when she looked down, she found that the glass curtain wall of the tall building opposite was three floors lower than the rooftop.
There was a faint reflection of a half-open window; in the reflection of that window, the same sign was hanging - she could even see the points clearly. Behind the window was a message requiring a bet of 40 points.
road.
"So... there is a door on the rooftop, and then there is a road on three sides of the building." Pan Cui was inspired and said while walking towards the last wall, "Is there another road on the fourth side of the building?
road?"
This is how the fifth road was discovered.
This side of the building is dotted with small balconies that extend out of the building. For some reason, one of the balconies has a long wooden board that stretches into the sky and ends before it touches the building opposite. Look.
It looks like an unlucky jumping platform, with no way to see where the next path is.
The sign was hung on the balcony railing, and although other information was unclear, everyone could at least clearly see the point requirement for betting: 30 points.
They also tried their best to figure out the points required for cleaning the crane - Jiajiada was short and nimble. After tying a rope around his waist, he was hung like a monkey by everyone, hanging in the air, and read the words on the sign loudly.
Once again: Cleaning the Crane Road requires a bet of at least 35 points, the total length of the road is 1 km, and the odds are 1:1.5. There is also no borrowing option, and only one person is allowed to go every 15 minutes.
Among the five roads in total, only the cleaning crane and the half-open window are the closest to the direction of the fireworks; but they require quite high points, and if other roads are used as a reference, the direction of the next section of road after one section of the road may not be the same.
Likewise, it may be difficult to conclude that they are heading towards the end point - besides, the end point is only a distant consideration; while the number of points to bet is imminent.
"It seems that scaffolding is the best option," Tasker obviously still felt that 25 points was not good enough, and said unsatisfied: "But before we place a bet, it is better to take a look at the brand, okay?"
This time, Pina volunteered to climb over the wall. She leaned against the wall, spread her feet like a ballet dancer, and moved sideways to the scaffolding little by little. Everyone watched as she was swallowed up by the green net and turned into a silent figure in front of the sign.
Motionless blurred back.
"What's wrong?" Tusker shouted, "What does the sign say?"
"It -" Pina turned her head a little helplessly and shouted: "The number of points it requires is not 25... Kajiada, you are wrong, the requirement is 5 points."
This time it was everyone's turn to be silent on the rooftop.
"What?" Pan Cui reacted and immediately stretched out half of his body, "Only 5 o'clock?"
"Really, you are required to bet at least 5 points," Pina read the sign and couldn't believe it: "Yes, the odds are 1:1.01, the road is 300 meters long, and two people can enter every three minutes..."
Everyone listened attentively, and when they saw Pina's voice suddenly paused, Lin Sanjiu raised her voice and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Yes," Pina murmured, "This is the first time I've seen this... Borrowing is allowed on this road."
Even a poor man who had just evolved could get the 5-point chip without borrowing it. Everyone looked at each other and almost all saw the same thoughts on the faces of others.
"This is the first way after entering the dungeon," Tasker made up his mind early and said: "The lower the points, the more suitable it is for testing the dungeon and getting familiar with the rules... I don't know what you think, but even if you are out of the dungeon,
If there is a problem, I will be sent back to the rooftop, and I can afford to lose 5 o'clock in chips."
Lin Sanjiu didn't know whether it was because he had a small amount of chips or because he was always careful with his calculations; but his words did make some sense, and Jia Jiatian couldn't help but nod.
"And if you work in pairs, you can still have someone to take care of you," Jia Jiatian added, "A wave of people coming in every three minutes means that we won't be too far apart... Of course, if you want to leave too,
This way."
"Compared to other roads, the points of this road are so low..." Lin Sanjiu murmured, "I'm always worried that there's some fraud involved."
"I think it's because it's too short."
Pina was attracted back by the discussion at some point, climbed into the wall again, and interjected: "The other roads I saw were at least one thousand meters long, but this road is only 300 meters long. The most important thing is,
Wouldn't there be a description of the difficulty of the road on the sign? For example, the road behind Tiantai Gate is a 'difficult road', right?"
"What about the scaffolding?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
"The description says that this is a 'safe and smooth road.'" Pina shrugged and said, "It is also because of this that the odds are so low that they are almost negligible."
It might not be a bad idea to use the safest and cheapest way to familiarize yourself with the dungeon... Lin Sanjiu recalled the content of the sign and thought to herself. After all, the sign didn't prohibit people from turning back. It really couldn't be done until she finished this paragraph.
With a 300-meter road, you might be able to return to the rooftop and choose another route.
"Actually, there is another possibility," Jiajiada said enthusiastically. "Generally, in more complex dungeons, there is a 'teaching level' before the actual start? Maybe this is the teaching level, and it also explains
, why is it the only one allowed to borrow money.”
What they said made sense, and Lin Sanjiu followed the crowd and decided to take this scaffolding road; but when she climbed over the wall, she was still a little uneasy - mainly because of her luck.
, she rarely encounters good things, but when she does, she will inevitably start to become suspicious.
The three people in front had already left one after another, and she and Pan Cui were the last ones. Lin Sanjiu turned sideways and stabilized her body on the outer edge of the wall. When she lowered her head and looked down, she couldn't help but feel a little dizzy and her palms were sweating——
Under the edge of her boots, she was falling straight into the sky. At a glance, it felt like her mind was about to fall out of her body and slip into the abyss. She couldn't even see where she was stepping, because she was not there yet on the outer edge of the wall.
The soles of the boots are wide.
After taking two steps slowly like walking a tightrope at high altitude, she realized that Pan Cui had not followed.
"Why don't you come over?" Lin Sanjiu clung to the wall and called back.
Pan Cui didn't look good. She smiled slightly, but then her smile fell back. "Don't laugh at me... I'm a little afraid of heights." She shook her head and walked closer to the wall, saying, "But it doesn't matter, I can do it."
overcome."
When the two climbed up the scaffolding, the other three were waiting. Between the scaffoldings, there were boards set up, just enough for people to rest and stand; a few people grabbed the shelves and carefully maintained their balance, falling into a trap for a while.
There was a slightly awkward silence - no one wanted to leave first.
Lin Sanjiu sighed in her stomach.
"I'll go first," she said, passing by Pina and others, and walked to the sign, causing the others to relax.
The sign does not say how to place a bet, but the details of the loan are written in detail: before placing a bet, click on the word "borrow" on the sign to select the loan amount; interest is calculated in 12 hours, and every 12 hours
, a ten percent increase, and you can choose to repay at the end of any road - loan sharking is not enough to describe it, it is simply a flesh-and-blood loan.
Lin Sanjiu had already sorted through all the chips when they split up to find the way. At this time, she didn't have to take out her big bag of chips and search slowly under the gaze of four pairs of eyes; she took out
The lowest value item on my body - the 15-point [Extended Hand] - I tentatively touched the sign with it, but there was no reaction.
"Can you just shout and place your bet?" After Jia Jiatian said this, he shouted for Lin Sanjiu. When he realized something was wrong, nothing happened.
"Try putting it on the ground?" Pan Cui suggested, "Under the sign?"
This time, when the chip of the [Extended Hand] touched the ground, it was like a gap in the wooden board opened up and swallowed it up. Lin Sanjiu's eyes were dazzled, and the ground had turned into a blank 10-point chip.
Yellow arrows half as tall as a person flickered from the surrounding netting, and the wooden boards lit up together, pointing Yingying at her feet.
After the anti-theft stamp was finished, I fell asleep... I was sitting on the sofa with my computer in my arms, preparing to code, but for some reason, I closed my eyes... I finally forced myself to finish writing. Next time
Don't be so tired before you start coding.
