Flower Market (2)
"Hey, can you go faster?" The player who urged Qi Tianhe was the one who forced him to buy water before, named Kang Yang.
"Feel sorry."
I was officially experiencing a newbie for the first time, and I was not very proficient in business operations.
Of course, Qi Tianhe also knew the reason why Kang Yang asked him to leave quickly. He wanted him to explore the way forward. When there was danger, he was equivalent to a human-shaped early warning device.
Qi Tianhe looked around. Today is the weekend. There are many people. Adults lead children, and boyfriends and girlfriends hold hands... There are warm pictures everywhere.
The background introduction mentioned that customers are weird, but so far there is no big problem.
The flower market is large enough and divided into a-e area. The design is not very reasonable. Each road is very narrow and crowded. It is not easy to stop and enjoy it for a while.
The witch general suddenly stopped. Compared to Qi Tianhe, who emerged from nowhere, he was more well-known in the game, and at least everyone present knew him. At this time, the other players stopped subconsciously and looked around vigilantly, trying to find the danger.
However, the witch just walked to a shop to watch the flowers, and seemed very interested.
Anan is slightly allergic to pollen and wants to leave quickly. He has to follow the game prompts and not fall behind easily. He covers his nose and frowns, implying that there are better-looking flowers ahead.
The witch general turned a deaf ear and was fascinated by the viewing of flowers. The others simply wandered around and introduced themselves.
The man with a buzz cut with a bad temper is called Zhang Zhentong, and the name of the burned man is very literary: Xie Jinshi; the three players who came in teamed are abbreviated... A Guang, Anan, A Shi, and the other two players in teams are called Zhou Zhi and Xiaolin; the only girl in the team is called Xia Tian, who is as famous as her name, and she smiles very sunny.
Qi Tianhe also gave himself a temporary stage name: Dahai.
I feel a little straightforward when I hear the name.
Xia Tian stared at the back of the Wu General and said to himself: "What's there to see in that flower?"
Zhang Zhentong was speechless: "Which flower here can you name it?"
After he mentioned it, everyone realized that almost all the flowers sold in the flower market could not be named. At first glance, they looked very ordinary flowers, but they could not find any related memories.
Take the pot that Wu Jiang was looking at for example, it looks a bit like a peony, but if you look closely, you will find that the petals inside have layered gradient colors, slightly blue, and have nothing to do with the peony.
The witch seemed to have identified the pot of flowers and wanted to buy them.
Boss: "Only sell people who are destined to be."
The witch general smiled and said, "How is it considered destined to be?"
Boss: "You have to at least know what this pot of flowers is."
Xia Tian hid in the corner, secretly took a photo with his mobile phone, and used a scan to identify it, and the system instantly got stuck.
The boss seemed to know what she was doing, so he looked at him mockingly. Xia Tian didn't feel embarrassed at all. He smiled at him and put away his phone.
General Wu: "Is there anyone nearby who knows flowers?"
It seemed that he was waiting for him to ask this question. The boss smiled and said, "There is a man who walks birds very well, but he doesn't like talking to people. If you can find the kind of bugs he likes to buy during his pet raising, he might tell you."
"Is there anyone asking me?" A disdainful sneer came, and Qi Tianhe walked to the witch general: "This flower is called Tianyunlan, a variant of lily of the valley. It is said that it has been stained with the tears of ancient sirens, so the petals have a faint blue color. Tianyunlan only blooms for one season a year, and it is considered that we are lucky to see it today."
No one expected that a rookie would know so much, even the witch general looked at him in surprise.
Qi Tianhe: "Tianyunlan has many stories circulating among the people, most of which are related to love..."
His voice was pleasant and magnetic, which attracted many people to stop.
The girl holding her boyfriend's arm was a little moved when she heard this and stared at the pot of flowers happily.
Qi Tianhe smiled and said to the little girl: "Buy a basin and love will last forever, Tianyunlan..."
"God, your grandma's Yunlan!"
The boss made a swear word, and many passers-by showed disgust. No matter what happens in private, many people came to the flower market to cultivate their sentiments. When they suddenly heard such an uncivilized sentence, their eyes were immediately not very friendly when they looked at the boss.
"This is Moxian. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense." The boss glared at Qi Tianhe fiercely.
"That may be because I admit my mistake. These two kinds of flowers are really similar," Qi Tianhe took the initiative to apologize: "Don't be angry, I bought this flower, so it's not a good thing to accompany me."
“…”
Qi Tianhe: "Pack it up quickly. It doesn't mean you only sell it to someone who is destined to be. If I can call out the name of this flower, you have to sell it to me."
After a pause, he kept repeating "Moxian, Moxian, Moxian..."
The boss wanted to hold a flower pot on his head.
Kang Yang's eyes moved, and he walked over and whispered to Qi Tianhe: "The prompt said that you want to compare the stores, it is not safe for you to buy them now."
Qi Tianhe was unshakable: "The person is stupid, and the money is high."
Kang Yang: "Why don't I pay?"
Qi Tianhe ignored him and urged the boss carelessly: "Please hurry up."
The boss handed the packed flowers: "Sixty-eight, Chenghui."
Gripping his teeth, as if he wanted to peel Qi Tianhe and get cramps.
The samurai is blooming very brightly and has many flowers. Qi Tianhe feels that it is possible to share it, so he asked the witch general: "One person pays half of the money?"
The witch general, who has always been famous for his cruel and pervertedness, pressed his eyebrows deeply: "Yes."
Qi Tianhe continued to walk forward with the spoils and asked on the way: "What's the name of this flower? Why did you buy it?"
Anyway, he is now a rookie, so he can ask without any hesitation.
Seeing Qi Tianhe taking the initiative to talk to him, Zhou Zhi, who came in in teams, said to Xiaolin: "Do you think he is reckless? Or is he wise and foolish?"
Kobayashi told the truth and pointed to his head: "I feel like there is something wrong here."
The main reason is that a normal person would take the initiative to talk to people from Yongye. This organization is famous for being unethical.
Kang Yang was rejected by Qi Tianhe before, and his abacus failed. He heard this and said sarcastically: "Maybe he wants to climb high branches and be absorbed into the organization at that time."
Qi Tianhe had a good hearing and instantly understood his image in the minds of others: similar to a slum boy who wanted to marry into a wealthy family.
Parrot: "It's quite exciting to think about it. Yongye shouldn't be missing our bite."
“…”
It has never spoken much since I entered the copy, and it has not left to eat as soon as it opens its mouth.
Players have different personalities. This time there are many people, and everyone has different ideas in which district to go to, and they will compete verbally from time to time. But this is nothing. Even being kind to others will not affect some people's stabbing in the back. In the difficult dungeon, many players prefer to show the cruel side of their personality.
The witch general was willing to gossip and answered Qi Tianhe’s question just now: “Since we came in, the owner has been secretly looking at it. There are many plot trigger points for this type of NPC.”
I understand the truth, but it is not something that ordinary people can do to observe the expression of each NPC in the crowd.
As we were about to reach the end of Area A, everyone moved to the relatively spacious area to discuss where to go next.
Xia Tian first said: "I checked my phone, the address book photos, etc. are all empty."
Xie Jinshi: "Lucky flowers are related to zodiac signs, and I don't know if they refer to our real zodiac signs."
Without identity information and no NPCs around, it is impossible to tell whether they have a role to play in the dungeon.
The signs are drawn with simple letters to tell tourists where each area is, but there is no prompt at all.
"Why don't you look for it separately?" Xia Tian hesitated a little: "I remind you not to be separated from your partner. We have eleven people, and splitting into two teams should not be considered a violation of the requirements."
"Yes." Xie Jinshi first agreed.
Others have no objection.
"I want to go directly to the e-district." Xie Jinshi emphasized.
The players who came in teamed up Zhou Zhi and Kobayashi had the same idea. Xia Tian and Kang Yang also joined their team. Just as everyone was about to take the limelight, someone suddenly whimpered in pain.
It was the player called Anan, who was named A Guang, who was in the dungeon with him, quickly supported him with his eyes and hands.
"Ah, ah..." Anan pinched his throat tightly, his face flushed, as if he couldn't breathe.
"Quick!" Xia Tian said hurriedly: "Disper and move him to the place where the air is circulating."
The buzz-headed man Zhang Zhentong said coldly without moving his eyes: "Look at his hands."
The muscles of Anan's arms quickly shriveled and atrophy, as if something was absorbing the nutrients in his body. In the blink of an eye, the originally healthy body was only left with a layer of dry skin. The meridians spread throughout his body were brown, like branches and flower stems.
The whole process lasted only for one minute. Anan's head was tilted to one side and completely lost his breath. His body continued to evaporate, and the belt bones turned into blood mist. The mist drifted everywhere and fell on several potted plants around.
This horrifying scene seemed to be blocked. Passing customers happened to have their own things to do. They either answered the phone or were attracted by a stall and turned around. No one noticed any abnormality.
Advanced players are used to death in the game, but their expressions are not very good at this moment.
Zhang Zhentong stared at A Guang, who was just closest to Anan: "Have you noticed anything unusual?"
Before Ah Guang could ease up from his teammate's death, he used three-person team props to get in and take care of him... How long did he fold one? After a while, he spoke with an ugly expression: "He has a very powerful talisman paper, and once he used it, the evil ghost could not do anything for a moment."
When A Guang died, he didn't have time to do anything, which means that everything happened in a flash.
Zhang Zhentong frowned: "That is triggering a certain death rule that must be dying."
Some have room for death rules, while others will die if they touch it.
They recalled what the player did after entering the dungeon, but they could not find any doubts at all, and they even remembered that the other party spoke.
When the stalemate gradually came, the witch general said impatiently: "It is not normal to die for a double S copy? Take the time and do whatever you should do."
After Anan's death, Qi Tianhe became a hot commodity when he was a team. We can't blame the old players for being unauthentic. The definition of the rookie in the dungeon is cannon fodder. No matter how strong the new player is, he cannot survive in the double S dungeon. The scarcity of single props is enough to limit his performance.
At this moment, everyone wants to use Qi Tianhe to test the rules of death first. Qi Tianhe is trembling and lowers his head and does not speak.
General Wu: "..."
No matter what he said, he could not be in a team with this person.
Finally, Qi Tianhe followed Xie Jinshi and others to the e-district.
Xie Jinshi proposed to go directly to District E to see if there is a back door for the flower market, and by the way, you can have a basic understanding of each area.
Areas a-c only sell flowers, and from Area d, there is a different scene. You can see many fish selling. Area e is the last area. There is a stall selling flower breeding books. The remaining area gathers snacks and delicacies, which is different from the traditional flower market structure.
The flower market is very trendy, and the stools feel wet. This is definitely not a suitable place for dining. However, many customers will come here to buy food. At the end is a blurred glass window, which makes it difficult to see the scene outside clearly.
Xie Jinshi: "There is only one entrance, and the entrance is the exit."
Xia Tian: "Do you feel that you are not breathing well?"
She was just a slight discomfort, perhaps due to the environment, but with the lessons of the dead players, no one dared to be careless.
Zhou Zhiqing cleared his throat and coughed a few times: "It seems to be a little bit."
Except for Qi Tianhe, there were some reactions to varying degrees.
Kang Yang is not a good person, but his thinking is very quick, and he quickly reacted: "Shopping. You must consume when you come to the flower market."
A death rule surfaces, and every once in a while, the dungeon will randomly erase one from the player who has not made any consumption.
I tried to buy a bottle of water in the summer. The boss was very kind and took out a bottle of water from the freezer and handed it out. There was no trouble for the flower seller just now.
After taking the water in summer, she felt that her breathing condition had changed slightly, but she still did not give up buying a pot of flowers and was about to turn back to area D. The more things she was unwilling to sell, the better the effect would be.
The remaining players had the same choice, so they chose a cheap food to buy and went to area d.
It was obvious that the Moxian incident occurred in Area A, but those who were doing business in Area D saw that they all looked bad in their faces, especially when they saw Qi Tianhe covered themselves with faces, they seemed to see gangsters.
An old man even spat.
“…”
"Look at the good things you did." Kang Yang said coldly.
I found that Qi Tianhe looked around indifferently and came to the judgment that this rookie was not as easy to grasp as I thought. I changed the subject: "But I can't blame you all."
Qi Tianhe was untouched. When he used his identity as a quasi-player, Kang Yang didn't know where to get involved.
There is a reason Kang Yang wants to grasp Qi Tianhe. It is difficult to buy, so he can find a breakthrough in other aspects. There are guppies in the hydroponics in the front, but he doesn’t know if there is any risk in buying it. I want to push someone out to try it first.
His strategy was very interesting. He quickly walked over and talked to the boss in a fake way. When he came back, he looked sad: "You can't take the fish directly."
As he said that, he suddenly looked at Qi Tianhe: "I think you have a very flexible mind. If you have a way to buy it, I will take you next."
Ordinary rookies may be moved first and then consider it. Qi Tianhe, who is the first time he is a rookie, didn't even think about it, so he rushed over: "Okay, wait for me."
Come back halfway: "Money."
Kang Yang: "You come to negotiate, I will pay when you pay."
Qi Tianhe nodded.
When Qi Tianhe appeared, the boss subconsciously squinted his eyes and raised his waist, as if he wanted to prevent being tricked.
Qi Tianhe was very curious about how these flower-selling bosses convey information.
"Which flower did you like?" the boss asked on his own initiative.
There are many options for this stall, in addition to hydroponics for raising guppies, there are also decorations and tools. Qi Tianhe came to another purpose, and there was no intention of running errands for Kang Yang.
He glanced around and smiled and said, "I heard that everyone has their own lucky flowers."
Boss: "That's right."
"Is there anything special?"
The boss is meaningful: "In fact, in addition to lucky flowers, many small things can enhance people's luck, but be careful not to buy the wrong one."
Qi Tianhe pretended to be ignorant: "What happens if you buy the wrong one?"
Boss: "For example, the number '4' is the lucky number for some people, and it is also the dark number for another part of people."
There were so many that he didn't say anything more, and he was waiting for his choice as if he was watching a good show.
Qi Tianhe quickly extracted the key points: flowers cannot be bought randomly, and buying them at will may trigger the death rule, but it is not absolute. At least the pot he held in his hand will not have any impact. It seems that the witch has reserved what he said before. He cannot buy flowers rashly based on the NPC's expression changes alone. There must be other reasons.
...Some details that I have not observed for the time being.
Qi Tianhe pointed at the basin of hydroponics: "How to sell it?"
Boss: "This has been booked. If you like it, you can find Lao Li. He is very good at helping customers choose the most suitable products."
While saying goodness, he pointed in a direction.
Qi Tianhe looked back at Kang Yang, the latter: "Go and have a look."
The distance between the two stalls is not far. Lao Li is a thin old man with his eyes protruding. Because he is too thin, his eyes seem to be shaking out if he takes two steps.
He has everything here, fish food, flower stands, fertilizers, etc.
"Do you want to choose what suits you best?" Before the player's steps arrived, Lao Li said expressionlessly as if he was memorizing the lines: "Just do me a little favor, I will give you double gifts."
Qi Tianhe currently has no say in the team, so he turned his head to look at Xie Jinshi who was close to him.
"What's the busy thing?" Xie Jinshi did not hesitate.
"Help me change the flower pot." Lao Li pointed to the flowers in small plastic pots in front row: "I want to change them to large pots to raise them, but unfortunately my hand twisted the day before yesterday."
Xie Jinshi: "Just repot?"
Old Li nodded and stood aside to tease the little fish in the fish tank: "But if you die, you have to pay for it."
“How many do you need to accompany me?”
Old Li seemed to have not heard it, and gently tapped the fish tank. After a while, he turned around and said, "Whoever wants to take this job can try it."
All my eyes were focused on Qi Tianhe.
"You go and try it first." Xie Jinshi said in a hoarse voice.
Others did not stop them, they were all egoists. When they were uncertain and dangerous, someone had to try it.
Qi Tianhe: "If I refuse..."
"The dungeon cannot kill people, but it does not prevent it from stumbling." Xie Jinshi said lightly: "Although it is cruel to you, if it is any high-end dungeon, a rookie will be treated as a treatment."
This is not a lie.
Qi Tianhe thought about it and took a step forward, temporarily put down the flowers he just bought, picked up a pot of some research, no matter how you look at it, it was a pot of ordinary little white flowers. When he was not sure, he would not try it. Just as he was about to give up, the parrot suddenly spoke out: "Switch."
Qi Tianhe's movements stopped, and then naturally took the shovel handed by his boss and began to dig the soil.
The soil is very hard, and the texture is like a steamed bun after it has dried. Qi Tianhe used some effort to shovel it down. Just as he was about to continue down, the shovel seemed to touch some soft and sticky thing. He quickly □□ The reddish-brown sticky liquid was brought out, and the air was instantly filled with a strong fishy smell.
The flower, who was still very energetic before, suddenly became much more depressed.
Old Li said unhappily: "Be careful."
Qi Tianhe shoveled the soil again, but the movements were slower than before, so anyone could see him was frightened.
In fact, Qi Tianhe is thinking about problems. Flowers are goods. The boss also makes money by selling them. He can exchange them for customers who are not aware of their skills. Wouldn't he feel sorry for him if he dies?
Thinking of this, he asked in a low voice: "Which one is more important to you, my life or this pot of flowers?"
Old Li didn't even think about it: "Of course my flowers are more precious."
Qi Tianhe raised his eyebrows...so it is not worthwhile to the other party to exchange flowers for their own lives.
I introduced them before that, I would look at this place from time to time, and my expression was a little impatient. Qi Tianhe saw it with a squinted look and a ridiculous guess.
In order to further confirm, he pretended that his subordinates suddenly exerted force, but in fact, the difference between making movements and applying force was a few seconds, but the white petals became even more wilted as the moment his elbow moved.
very good.
He hit his head.
The boss's flower stone hammers are hit by the porcelain, and they can get the NPCs through traffic diversion. No wonder their stalls have a wide range of stalls than others, and they can ruin customers and wealth.
Regardless of Xiaobaihua's "weakness", Qi Tianhe forced it out. The flower was not as big as a child's palm, but its roots were terrifying. Only after I dug it out did I realize that almost the entire plastic basin was occupied by exaggerated roots.
He stood up and walked towards Daban, a little ghost fire popped out of his fingertips, and when he leaned over, he warned in a low and inaudible voice: "If you dare to pretend to be dead, I will let you die."
The flower was afraid of fire, and the stem trembled suddenly, trying to escape from his claws. Qi Tianhe dug a hole in the big basin perfunctorily and stuffed it into it. Afterwards, his fingers held the edge of the basin, as if he was nervously paying attention to the situation, and his body leaned forward.
The roots of the flower are buried very shallowly, and the ghost fire burns the roots through the soil, and the small white flowers are constantly twisting and shaking.
"It's alive!" Qi Tianhe turned around excitedly, and his hands did not let go: "I'm still alive."
Old Li suddenly pulled him up, Qi Tianhe innocently emphasized: "It's alive."
Old Li stared at Qi Tianhe for a few seconds and suddenly turned around: "Is there anyone else to help?"
When the shovel brought out scarlet liquid when changing the basin, the rest retreated to a relatively safe distance. In addition, the Qitianhe technique was hidden, so there was no sign of the name for the time being.
"What are the tips?"
Faced with the inquiry, Qi Tianhe stood aside, as if he was angry about being coerced just now. As the only girl in the team, Xia Tian’s smile was very contagious: “Can you tell me?”
Qi Tianhe: "Let's luck."
The perfunctory words made Xia Tian frown slightly.
Qi Tianhe said lightly: "We are looking for lucky flowers, luck is naturally very important. Just like the player who died randomly, luck is not as good as you."
He paused and said, "You can pay more attention to the flower pot."
This sounds a bit reasonable, and Qi Tianhe did not lie. He had previously discovered that there were different patterns on the surface of the plastic flower pot, and it was unknown what it represented.
"I'll try." Xie Jinshi walked over.
He closed his eyes and stroked the patterns of the flower pot with his fingers. He slowly touched each pot in the face of Lao Li's urging, and finally chose the second-to-last pot of flowers. The process of repotting was very smooth, and only a leaf fell.
Seeing this, Lao Li said angrily: "You have passed too."
Xie Jinshi's personality is not as weak as Qi Tianhe shows, and he turns a blind eye to the eyes he casts over.
Xia Tian bit her lower lip: "We are a team."
Xie Jinshi said angrily: "There is only one pot of flowers left here to choose from. Who is the right one? I'll tell you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere dropped to freezing point and there was no more talk in summer.
Qi Tianhe did not laugh at these experienced players, nor did he see the abnormality of the flower pot. While others were studying the flower pot, he took the initiative to approach and asked softly: "Is there any trick?"
Xie Jinshi glanced at him.
Qi Tianhe: "I just want to gain some knowledge, but I can't try my luck."
Xie Jinshi pulled him aside: "The lines above are topographic maps of the flower market area c-d, so we must exclude those maps with wrong forks."
“…”
Who can find out this?
"It's not as difficult as you think. There is a small flower that represents the starting point, and there is no time limit."
The player's progress was very slow. Kang Yang put down the flower pot repeatedly and said a little impatiently: "Why have to hang himself on a tree?"
Then he pointed at Qi Tianhe and said, "Please accompany me to other places."
Qi Tianhe 'ah'.
Kang Yang: "There is an explanation for the reminder, it is not safe for a person to move."
Qi Tianhe followed behind and noticed that Kang Yang seemed to be looking around, but was actually observing the terrain. He looked very carefully, and seemed not worried that the remaining pot would be picked up by someone.
In about five or six minutes, Kang Yang went back with confidence and quickly picked out one and started changing the pot. His movements were very stable, and he was more energetic than before.
"It seems that all three guests are very blessed."
After saying that, Lao Li looked at the remaining people and repeatedly asked if there were anyone else to change the pot. No player stepped forward again, and Lao Li had the regret that he could not hide it in his eyes.
As promised before, he began to cash out the reward. He first gave Kang Yang a small fish tank with koi swimming inside, and Xie Jinshi three peacocks, and finally gave Qi Tianhe a turtle.
“…”
Qi Tianhe forced himself to win the supremacy: "What a cute little turtle."
Others were not in the mood to laugh at him.
Without ‘reasonable’ consumption, the rules of death will be laid sooner or later.
Kobayashi's throat suddenly became a little dry, and he quickly went to buy a bottle of water again. The effect this time was negligible. The moment he turned around, his breathing suddenly became tight. He knew that there was not much time left for him, so he rushed to a stall with a harsh voice: "Buy things, you can do anything."
"Customer, the flowers here need to be named after the name of the flowers before they can be sold. If the fish can be sold by guessing riddles," the boss said slowly.
When Kobayashi was in trouble, Zhou Zhi and Xia Tian didn't pay any attention. They seized the time to find nearby places to do tasks before it was his turn. Zhou Zhi happened to meet the bird walking master mentioned by the first stall owner, and completed the task of finding insects for birds and learned a name for flowers.
Xie Jinshi: "You are right, sometimes luck is important."
Everyone is good at different fields. Some people have poor memory and strong mobility, but if they encounter brain power, they will be in trouble.
Zhou Zhi's luck is obviously better than Kobayashi, at least he still has time.
Kobayashi did not accept his fate, bit his tongue, and then took out a coin from his arms. Unfortunately, some death rules were fast and could not be violated. One step away, he eventually became the same fate as Anan, and turned into a blood mist and dissipated.
I returned to the team shortly after summer, holding a bouquet of flowers that looked very lily, and the color was black.
There were all people and no one spoke. Xie Jinshi took the lead in speaking: "Since you have consumed it, please find another team to join us."
No one objected.
Walking forward from District D, the passenger flow is less than before. I don’t know if it’s the illusion of Qitianhe, and the fragrance of the flower market is stronger. After smelling it for a long time, people feel a little dizzy.
"Where are you." Xia Tian shouted and pointed in a direction.
The people there also noticed them. The two teams successfully joined together, and the team of the witch general also suffered casualties, killing a player named A Guang.
Qi Tianhe realized that the rule of death first came to the players who came in teaming in... As expected, the rewards for teaming are not that easy to get.
"The casualties are a bit heavy." Xia Tian smiled bitterly.
Three members died half an hour before the game started.
"There are even more terrifying." Zhang Zhentong glanced at Qi Tianhe.
The others reacted instantly, no wonder they always felt something was wrong... This rookie is still alive and looks full of rewards!
Several eyes were focused on several things in my arms at the same time...
Chapter completed!
