Chapter 212 Review

Han Xu requisitioned an underground billiard hall as a residence for Feng Ling.

Although it does not have all the facilities of high-end hotels, it is spacious enough to accommodate both people and pollutants.

After running around for most of the night, everyone was tired and fell asleep almost as soon as they arrived. They only had time to wash up after waking up the next day.

Xu Yiming and Huangfu Miaomiao went out to buy breakfast and brought back more than twenty boxes of steamed dumplings, buns and rice rolls.

Ye Zheng no longer had any appetite for human food and only ate a bag of nutritious jelly.

The owl hadn't eaten for several days and was drooping with hunger.

The cat spider is in excellent condition because it has a big stomach and can sustain itself for a long time after eating.

Several people gathered around the pool table to eat breakfast and chat while eating.

Feng Ling naturally wanted to review her magical experience last night.

"…The patrol boat would arrive in five minutes, so I couldn't wait and jumped into the water to chase it. I wanted to take a gamble at the time, but I didn't expect that my gamble would be successful. Because water has buoyancy, the second form became very light and flexible in the water. I just flicked my tail a little and swam very far away, hahaha~"

Li Qing could probably understand Feng Ling's feelings. After all, she had always complained about her slow speed. This time, she suddenly found that she had a speed advantage in the water. Of course, she was extremely surprised.

No matter what, as long as Feng Ling is happy, the atmosphere of the whole team will be more relaxed and cheerful.

Li Qing fed the weasel in his arms a small jelly while saying, "Actually, your speed on the shore is not that slow, but compared to the cards with speed bonuses, you will show some disadvantages."

Feng Ling said: "The alien's card last night must have a speed bonus. It ran away really fast. I was distracted for a moment and it had already run to the dock and got itself a yacht. But no matter how fast it runs, all its cards are now mine~"

She swallowed a mouthful of shrimp dumpling and looked at Li Qing: "I will draw the pattern on the card later, and you can see what card it is. One of them is definitely the Gu Insect Master, but I'm not sure about the other one."

Li Qing nodded, "Okay."

Feng Ling thought of what happened last night and couldn't help but laugh again: "After I caught up with the yacht, I knocked it unconscious with my tail. I don't know if it regretted it before it died. If it had logged off like Xingguang, I wouldn't have been able to kill it at all."

"Just hope for the best," Li Qing said calmly, "If you log off, you will face a penalty and all items in your backpack will be cleared. Players generally won't abandon their accounts unless it's absolutely necessary."

Feng Ling asked in confusion: "Doesn't that mean all players can't log off? Under what circumstances can they log off normally?"

Li Qing and Huangfu Miaomiao looked at each other.

"Actually..." Li Qing said slowly, "Miao Miao's current points are enough to pay the penalty points for logging off, so she can log off normally."

"I don't want to!" Huangfu Miaomiao pouted, "I won't log off. I want to continue to accumulate points."

It was so easy to earn points by following Feng Ling. With such a good opportunity, how could she log off? Feng Ling smiled and looked at her, "You really can't log off yet. My belongings are all in your backpack."

Li Qing considered for a moment, and said to Feng Ling: "Regarding the matter of going offline, I can't explain it in too much detail, otherwise it will be blocked by the system, but I can still give a rough description. For example, there is a gold mine in front of you. You can enter the gold mine to dig gold, and you can also use the gold you dig to exchange for various props to make digging more efficient. You have worked hard for a month and dug up 101 pieces of gold. You finally want to leave, but the exit is blocked. You can only leave in a special mine cart, and the fare is 100 pieces of gold. And the props obtained in the gold mine cannot be taken outside. You paid 100 pieces of gold according to the regulations, left all the props, and then left the mine. The remaining 1 piece of gold is your harvest for this month."

Feng Ling was silent for a long time.

She replied: "Thank you for leaving me one piece."

Li Qing: “…………”

Feng Ling tilted his head and thought for a while, "The gold mine in the game can refresh gold infinitely, but there is no such function in the real world. If you want to refresh the polluted body infinitely, you have to regularly release cards into this world."

"Yes." Li Qing nodded. "The current number of contaminants is far from meeting the needs of the players. The way to quickly increase the number of contaminants is to open the maze and let the genes in the maze spread to the outside world. This is what you call the spread of pollution. So I think this should be the main purpose of the Star Club."

Feng Ling joked, "The Xingxing Club has a long way to go. There are 122 mazes in total."

"To be precise, there are 53 mazes." Li Qing said seriously, "In the past six months, players have already conquered 27 mazes. In the remaining mazes, 41 administrators are known to have been killed. In other words, 41 mazes are in a state of contamination and spread, so there are still 53 mazes that are safe and sound."

Xu Yiming next to him couldn't help but calculate in his mind, "...There should be 54 mazes left, right? 122 minus the 27 that have been conquered, minus the 41 that are contaminated, shouldn't that equal 54?"

Li Qing turned his head and reminded him: "Feng Ling broke through a maze."

Xu Yiming suddenly realized: “Oh oh oh…”

Feng Ling took a few bites of the steamed dumplings, but they were a little tasteless, and her appetite was affected. "That guy said on the yacht that this world will belong to the players sooner or later. I thought he was crazy, but according to what you said, the Star Society's 'grand' cause is almost halfway done. No wonder they are so crazy."

Li Qing looked gloomy and whispered, "I'm sorry... I don't know why they think this way. In my opinion, this behavior is meaningless."

Xu Yiming looked at Li Qing, then at Feng Ling, and asked hesitantly, "They have killed 41 administrators in just half a year. If they kill another or in the second half of the year, won't everything be contaminated?"

Li Qing said hurriedly: "No, we were able to kill 41 administrators quickly at the beginning because we administrators were defenseless against the players. Now all the administrators are hiding, so it is not so easy to find them. In addition, the drop rate of maze clues will be getting lower and lower, so the current situation is actually not that bad."

Li Qing's words made Xu Yiming feel a little relieved.

Xu Yiming had been to Daling Forest and witnessed with his own eyes the disaster that the maze pollution brought to ordinary people. He couldn't imagine that there were other places in the world where pollution was happening.

Xu Yiming couldn't help but ask: "Do other countries know about the maze pollution?"

Ye Zheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "I know."

Everybody looked over.

Ye Zheng said expressionlessly: "The domestic Xenomorph Research Institute has been cooperating with the World Defense Organization and sharing technology. The technology and equipment for detecting the maze have become increasingly mature. Now we just lack the means to control the spread of pollution."
