The Midnight Owl

Chapter 31 - Bargain



Mao Qiping under the ship waited patiently in the floating ball for the customer to place an order, and the four people on the ship gathered on a farther deck to study their purchasing power.

This year, a mobile phone can go to the world, few people will carry too much cash with him, Xu Wang has a total of 600 yuan on his body, or thanks to the blessing of brushing the airport yesterday, and found that cash can be circulated in the owl. Take it out of the established public account and put it in case you need it from time to time.

Which Cheng wants to “consume” so quickly.

“I still have one hundred and fifty.” Qian Ai took all the possessions-one hundred and one fifty-to the captain. The fifty yuan was the one found in the airport yesterday.

“I only brought one hundred.” Kuang Jinxin also handed over private property to the organization.

“Yes,” Xu Wang received the money together, “Book first and calculate what the public account owes you.”

Captain Xu, who pinched eight hundred and fifty yuan, naturally looked at the only Wu Jun teacher who was silent.

Wu Sheng shook his head neatly: “No penny.”

Xu Wang was speechless: “After yesterday, did you come in with no money ?!”

Wu Sheng was questioned very confused: “I take you.”

A breeze blew out of the dense fog and made people’s faces very comfortable.

Qian Ai looked at the captain who suddenly began to concentrate on counting down the money, and then looked at the instructors who were still full of innocents. It always felt strange. He understands that Wu Sheng’s implication is that since you have a captain holding a public wallet, what other money will I bring. But how do you switch to “inside the word”, as soon as you omit it into five words, it sounds like … affection?

It ’s right to choose Xu Wang as the captain. Qian Ai suddenly became afraid. It was really necessary to choose Wu Sheng. When communicating, either the “logic” and the “architecture” of the water could not be understood at all, or you could not give you a “local taste” “It’s too much pressure as a player.

Xu Wang put the recounted money in his pocket, and put up three lists: “A total of eight hundred and five, let’s study what information to buy.”

“The content of a third level is four hundred.” Qian Ai has little confidence in his team’s purchasing power. “And there is this daily experience of brushing customs, the current price? Is this selling seafood ?!”

“The third hurdle is definitely to ask,” Xu Wang patted Qian Ai, appeased his partner’s excitement, and then asked the other two partners, “What about the rest?”

“Endless sea,” Kuang Jinxin said, “Always make things clear.”

Xu Wang thought about it and reached out to tap a few questions on the Endless Sea List: “Then … 2, 4, 7?”

“There is this.” Wu Sheng pushed the rule list forward, tapping the second with his fingertips.

The opinions of all partners are summarized together——

【Rules】

2. Related to injury and death. (100 yuan)

【Levels】

3. The content of the third level and the strategy of customs clearance. (400 yuan)

【Endless Sea Class】

2. What are the four lighthouses? (100 yuan)

4. The best strategy for four routes. (200 yuan / article, package price 700 yuan)

7. The best guide for the four lighthouses. (200 yuan / article, package price 700 yuan)

Xu Wanggang is about to start mental calculations, and Wu Sheng has accurately given the package price: “One thousand, or only one route and the lighthouse strategy are selected.”

“There’s not enough money …” Kuang Jinxin murmured with a bit of distress.

“Well,” Wu Sheng nodded. “At least one more item has to be cut off.”

“Then you can only cut this,” Qian Ai pointed to the “what are the four lighthouses” in the endless sea, “Anyway, I still have to ask the strategy, maybe I can use the strategy to reverse the final reward?”

“Cut what!” Xu Wang rolled his eyes at the group of “do not think aggressive” teammates, gathered three pages of paper, and walked to the railing. The probe shouted, “Mao Qiping–“

The fog has completely covered the sea under the ship, and fortunately a warm response quickly came out from the vast white: “Where is it—”

With the answer, the telescopic pole slowly reached out from the railing from the fog.

Xu Wang cooperated to hang up the three sheets of paper again: “We have chosen it, we need rules 2,5, levels 3,4, and endless sea 2,4,7.”

The three partners were stunned. They didn’t seem to have chosen so many?

“Good!” Mao Qiping’s voice rose immediately, revealing the joy of “the money is about to be counted.”

In doubt, the telescopic rod has been withdrawn by the owner.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Mao Qiping in the mist finally confirmed that he only received the paper, or the three printed by himself.

“To rule 2,5, level 3,4, endless sea 2,4,7—” Xu Wang said loudly again in a short silence.

The following finally came the voice of Mao Qiping who endured crazy: “I know, but you have to give money!”

“We don’t have enough money.” Xu Wang said.

Mao Qiping collapsed: “Then do you have so many questions?”

“Meeting is destiny, you give a friendship price.” Xu Wang is not impatient.

There was no movement in the mist for a long time. It was estimated that the amount was being calculated. After a while, Mao Qiping said again: “A total of 1,600, I will give you a 10% discount. One thousand four, is that interesting? “

Xu Wang: “50% off, 800, you don’t need to wipe the change.”

Mao Qiping: “… bye bye !!!”

“Hey, bargain, there are cuts and cuts, don’t be excited.”

“You cut me down with a knife, what are you talking about!”

“It’s not that I want to cut my waist, we are 800 on our body, I don’t believe you come up to search, but if you find 8001, I will give you ten times!”

“That won’t work either. I will get as much information as I have money. I’m going around in the wind and earning hard money. I can’t sell it halfway.”

The tone is not a bit loose, but the tone is calmer than before, it means a chat.

Xu Wang remained silent for a long time, and made a determined decision: “Well, I do n’t want the transcripts and the fourth level. One thousand four hundred and six hundred, and seven hundred. There are seven hundred yuan left. I bought 23247. We are poor because we are poor. We cannot let you suffer! “

Mao Qiping always felt that something was wrong, and it was counted and figured out: “You deducted the original price of the undiscounted price from my 10% discount ?!”

The three partners who “audited” didn’t say anything, but they had calculated this account in their hearts, from 1600 yuan to 1400 yuan, which is actually equivalent to a discount on every item in it. Picked up here, the discounted price of 700 yuan should also be deducted. As a result, Xu Wang directly deducted 700 yuan, and dozens of dollars were erased from the inside and outside.

Captain, you can.

Captain Xu, who was affirmed by the team members, was covering his chest with wide eyes, no matter whether he could see it underneath, anyway, from the action to the voice, it was painful: “I let the two be so sincere. That piece of hair ?! “

Such things as bargaining should be soft when it is soft and hard when it is hard.

“Okay, okay,” Mao Qiping was finally relieved. “Who made me not meet others today, I met you.”

Xu Wang smiled comfortably: “That’s it, we will have to cherish this relationship for thousands of miles.”

The telescopic pole came up again: “Take the money, ask one question, and everyone is at ease.”

“Oh yeah, we discussed it just now,” Xu Wang held the telescopic pole. “What do you mean by the” time price “of your daily brushing experience?”

“It means seeing my mood,” Mao Qiping is clearly in a bad mood. “Aren’t you only seven hundred dollars, what’s the use of asking so much?”

“I just picked up another one hundred in the cockpit. I’ll change your question.”

“Whenever 801 is found, I will give you ten times … Am I listening to it !!!”

“Then you didn’t come to search.”

“…”

“I promise, it’s really all our belongings,” Xu Wang said, stacking the money into long bars, one by one tied to the telescopic pole, “don’t ask any more, you give us the price of friendship, we also believe in you This friend, 800 yuan is here, close it! “

After finishing the last fifty yuan, Xu Wang gently shook the telescopic rod.

The telescopic pole was slowly retracted, quiet for a long time, so long that people had to wonder if he ran away with money, Mao Qiping’s voice penetrated the mist and came slowly-

“Here, the injury is real, death …”

Deal, reached.

800 yuan bought 1,000 yuan of information, and attached a “time price” information, and finally the budget was 50 yuan left.

Wu Sheng, Kuang Jinxin and Qian Ai looked at each other with emotion.

When I came up, I said I wanted to buy more. First, I would make a discount. Then, I would cut my waist and collapse the psychological price of the other party. Then I would take two questions to make a step. Thinking and breathing for the other party, they captured the other party’s heart with the sincerity and atmosphere of paying the full amount in one fell swoop.

Their captain is a dragon and phoenix.

“Death is also true?” Xu Wang was deeply distracted by Mao Qiping’s information before he could appreciate the joy of bargaining.

“It should be said that the feeling of death at the moment is real, so real that you will not want to experience it a second time.”

“But death still doesn’t exist. Whenever there is danger of death, the ‘owl’ will bounce people back to reality, right?”

“Yes,” Mao Qiping defaulted to the name “Owl”. Obviously, this name is the mainstream. “Not only death, but also serious injuries, as long as it is judged that there is a risk of serious injury or death, the” Owl “will send people Back to reality, I call this ‘start protection mechanism’. “

Wu Sheng interjected: “What kind of injury can be retained, what kind of injury will trigger the protection mechanism, is there a clear limit?”

Mao Qiping said: “No, but according to the information I have collected, skin trauma and ordinary fractures seem to be preserved. No serious injuries have been seen, so my understanding should be that injuries that do not affect the operation very much will be recognized. “

“Everyone is broken and does not affect action?” Qian Ai suspects that the “owl” has a deviation from human society in the recognition of injury.

“It’s okay,” Mao Qiping said, “a fracture is nothing more than a plaster column and a crutches. I’ve seen teammates help push wheelchairs, and those who ran whizzingly, rushing!”

“…” Qian Ai didn’t care about the injured, so he wanted to interview the teammate who pushed the wheelchair.

“What about suicide?” Wu Sheng suddenly asked, “Will suicide be bounced back to reality?”

Mao Qiping was silent for a while, and answered: “Yes.”

Wu Sheng frowned, and looked like he found a BUG during debugging: “If that’s the case, people who don’t want to stay here, come in and cast a sea once a day, and go home in a blink of an eye.”

“You can think of it. Someone thought about it.” Mist covered it, and he couldn’t see Mao Qiping’s face, but he could hear the bitterness in his words. “Death also requires courage, like here, you won’t fall into the sea. Immediately back to reality, but a little bit of temperature in the sea water, sinking, suffocating, only when you taste the taste of dying from beginning to end, will it be sent back to reality. This experience is enough for one time , Few people are willing to try a second time. “

Mao Qiping’s description, with immersive despair, just like he had died once, and he didn’t want to relive.

Xu Wang remembered the time he was rushed by Xiong.

That was the first day he entered the “Owl”, and he didn’t even make it clear from the southeast to the northwest. From the beginning to the end, this was a dream, so he wasn’t really scared when he was swooped by the bear, maybe because it happened so quickly Now when I think about it, I still don’t have much fear. But he remembered the pain at that moment, and he would never forget the pain in this life. Just thinking about it, the wound on the shoulder would hurt.

“There are always people who” go home obsession “more than” fear of death “, Wu Sheng understands Mao Qiping’s emotional statement, but he is more willing to proceed from reason.” The pain effect is diminishing marginally. A person will be afraid once he dies. It ’s different after ten deaths. Even if the harm is objectively equal, the subjective pain will gradually decrease. ”

“Commonly known, numb.” Xu Wang quickly explained to the following people, so as not to be surrounded by his teammates.

“Of course there are such people. I met one when I broke through the second level. When I got up, I exploded the bomb and made us bomb together. He said he just wanted to try suicide. You can say goodbye to this ghost place … “

“Later?” Xu Wang always felt that there was more.

“Later I met their team again in this endless sea, but there was no him in the team. I thought it was a gang reorganization. As a result, the other three said that when they committed suicide to the tenth time, only they had rebounded to reality.”

“Did that person stay in the owl?”

“No, it has disappeared. No one has appeared in this place or in reality.”

“…”

“Why didn’t the other three people disappear?” Wu Sheng asked. “Strictly speaking, they also committed suicide ten times.”

“No,” Mao Qiping said. “When the man committed suicide for the first time, he teamed up with other people. He was kicked and then partnered with them. So, counting, the other three committed suicide only nine times.”

Kuang Jinxin listened to the three men and said, “They must never dare to try the tenth time …”

“I haven’t figured it out before, it’s all death, how can this ghost place distinguish between accident or suicide? Later, after a long time, I will understand,” Mao Qi said with a hint of joking in a faint sigh, “‘Owl ‘Ah, staring in our heads.’

A ray of sea breeze blows away a small cloud of fog between the ship and the ship without warning. It seems that the wind is coming towards the fog, so that the people on the ship can see each other for a moment.

Xu Wang and Mao Qiping stunned at the same time, and the latter still had sadness and bitterness in their eyes that did not have time to converge.

The “profitmaker” under the ship doesn’t care as openly as he showed it. The so-called “comfort with peace” is more like helplessness.

“How about the third level,” Xu Wang pretended not to see the other side, and asked naturally, “We are all aware of the injury and death. What exactly is the third level, I can’t wait!”

Mao Qiping was stunned and immediately borrowed the donkey down the slope: “Zombies, the third level is to fight zombies.”

It was Xu Wang’s turn this time.

Qian Ai, who was still on the side, could still see the boat and stretched out his arms and jumped in place twice: “This kind of zombie in the Qing Dynasty?”

Mao Qiping was speechless, raising his hands up and down to compare the two “black claws to take the heart”, and at the same time the upper and lower teeth “click” to bite twice: “This kind of zombies of plants vs zombies!”

“Oh,” Qian Ai was very disappointed, and all the 80s Hong Kong zombie movies she had consciously watched would not be useful. “You just say that the zombie will not end.”

“Yes, then zombie,” the customer is always the biggest. “After entering, you will get the vaccine and random weapons, and send the vaccine to the central hospital smoothly, which is to pass the customs clearance.”

“The environment after entering is the city?” Qian Ai asked.

Mao Qiping said: “Half the city, half the ruins.”

Kuang Jinxin was surprised by Qian Ai’s calm, well-organized question. Is this still the insecure brother Qian?

Zombie Hey, just thinking about the picture, he felt his scalp numb: “Brother Qian, aren’t you afraid?”

“I’m afraid,” Qian Ai said. “This thing is not like a ghost. It changes from appearance to skill. How come it is terrible. To deal with zombies, just pay attention not to be bitten, and the rest is the same as fighting.”

“And their movements are very slow,” Wu Sheng is calmer than Qian Ai. “As long as we run up and break a blood path, as long as we have enough physical strength, they will never want to catch up with us.”

“Yes!” Qian Ai nodded vigorously, “I was about to say this.”

The mist rose again, and Mao Qiping’s face gradually blurred.

But the voice is clear: “Uh, you may be a little misunderstood about the zombies in the third level, they are not slow …”

Wu Sheng frowned: “Can they run?”

“Every one is Bolt in the zombie world.” Mao Qiping said.
