A country ravaged by sandstorms? Su Yu was just flipping through the book, but he didn't expect that the fairy tale in the book would be like this. Is this background too similar to their current situation? Holding the book in his hand, Su Yu fell into deep thought. Would the content of this book be related to the competition ma? Was it a hint of the competition or was he overthinking?
Seeing Su Yu stop, Northfield thought for a while and walked over. Zhang Lingyun, who was not far away, also noticed that the two were different and followed, which saved Su Yu the effort of calling people.
Without explaining anything, Su Yu took two more fairy tale books from the shelf where he had just taken the book, then handed them to the two, indicating that they should open and read.
It didn't take long for the two to turn to the end of the short picture story. After reading the whole story, both of them had the same thoughtful expression: "A country in sandstorms?" Obviously, like Su Yu, they also felt that the background of this story was a bit subtle, this was not Su Yu's illusion alone.
"If the background of the story can match reality, what does the golden tree represent?" Zhang Lingyun asked.
Su Yu turned to the last page of the story, which showed the ending of the story. The golden tree covered the entire country, and the people lived happily and blessed... the top of the golden tree was a semicircular arc. This picture reminded him of the scene when the protective shield was deployed, which was like this.
This book may be a hint, or it may not be. In short, Su Yu put the book away first and prepared to talk about it later. The primary goal now is to find the resource first. In addition, see if there are other useful clues here.
The three continued to move forward and walked to the end. However, except for the original fairy tale book, there was no other discovery. When they were about to change direction to continue searching, Northfield's footsteps paused for a second. He suddenly stretched out his hand, blocked in front of Su Yu, and took a step forward.
After waiting for a while, there was no sound, as if the strange sound he heard just now was just an illusion, but Northfield didn't think he would make such a low-level mistake, even if he was eager to show off in front of Su Yu.
"Is there anything ma?" Su Yu asked Northfield, and got a positive answer, he couldn't help frowning slightly. Hiding in the dark and spying on their existence, no matter who knew this, would be disgusted, he was no exception.
When Northfield saw this scene, he didn't know what he thought: "I will solve it, soon."
After the words fell, don't know what Northfield did. A shelf in the distance gradually made a harsh 'creaking' sound. Under Su Yu's gaze, the entire shelf and the goods on it became distorted, just like a fragile paper, squeezed and squeezed by an invisible object until it became a small ball.
A gray-white shadow suddenly rushed out from behind the shelf. It was as fast as a gust of wind. In just a short moment, it quickly disappeared behind another shelf. According to Northfield's previous character, he would most likely let the prey run for a while before finishing it off. But now Su Yu was by his side. He didn't want to waste time or expose the bad side of his character. Of course, he would finish it off as quickly as possible.
Northfield walked away for a while, when he came back again, he had a gray-white rabbit in his hand. The rabbit was grabbed by the ears and held, but it didn't struggle. Instead, it relaxed its body obediently, replacing a rabbit with a rabbit strip, its vertically elongated appearance made it look good.
"What is this? An animal... a rabbit?" Zhang Lingyun was curious: "Or another contestant?"
Northfield put the rabbit in front of Su Yu, let go of his hand, and got free just like that. The rabbit didn't prepare to run, but curled up into a ball, as obedient as a real rabbit, didn't look like the wind just now.
"Speak." Northfield said.
Rabbit was silent for a moment, not daring to continue pretending to be dumb, and choked up and said: "Hello, Interstellar Tournament contestants, I am the NPC responsible for guarding the resource in this competition. You are here to find resources, right? OK, but according to the rules of the game, you must answer me a question before I can give you the resource." After saying the whole sentence in one breath, Rabbit had no other thoughts at the moment. He had no other thoughts about playing tricks on the contestants. He just wanted to send the resource out quickly then go home safely, neatly and intact.
[I can already feel the staff's despair through the screen~ There is no way, what can they do if they have bad luck ne?]
[I understand, this is the old tradition of the Interstellar Tournament bei. When they meet a powerful person, the staff will kneel down and admit their weakness on the spot. When they meet an average person, they will play tricks on them. Tsk, they have no backbone, what are they afraid of? Treat everyone equally a!]
[The previous barrage is so brave, why don't you become an employee of the Interstellar Tournament ne? You go, I will definitely support you when the time comes. When the grass on your grave is two meters high next year, I can also help you make it prettier.]
Are there any staff members in the competition? Zhang Lingyun was surprised, then he recalled carefully. It seemed that the information provided by the country included this point, asking them to pay attention. However, he had not encountered it in the previous three games, so he forgot about it.
"What is your question?" Su Yu asked directly.
Rabbit said reflexively: "I forgot, let me think about it."
Northfield looked over, and the rabbit's gray-white fur exploded instantly. He said anxiously: "Really forgot, I really forgot, I didn't plan to play tricks! Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't dare a!" If there were only the two other contestants, he could still do it, but in this situation, how could he dare!
In a panic, brainstorming, he remembered the question in a few seconds, and hurriedly said: "I remember, the question is-do you think life points is important ma?" After speaking, Rabbit looked up and looked at the three people eagerly, waiting for someone to answer, he would immediately took out the resource, then immediately teleported out of the game.
"Are there right and wrong answer? What will happen if the answer is wrong?" Northfield asked.
Rabbit understood what Northfield meant. How could he dare to cheat? He shook his head frantically: "No, no, it won't affect anything. It's just that different answers will give different hints."
After a brief discussion among the three, the answer given was 'important'. In this survival game, life points are of course important. The system is always urging the contesrtants to gain life points, even if they use extreme means.
"My hint is that life points are important to you, but more important to it." After saying that, Rabbit couldn't wait to take out a palm-sized piece of blue energy, don't know where he took it out. He took a step back and the transmitted white light wrapped around the rabbit's body. When the white light dissipated, the rabbit had disappeared.
Who is this 'it'? Su Yu's intuition is very important, but he can't understand it at the moment. He can only remember it in his heart. Maybe when he finds all the resources, he can understand everything.
Northfield half-crouched down and picked up the blue resources on the ground. Under Zhang Lingyun's gaze, he put the resources into his own space and waited for a while. There was no movement around him, and the imagined system prompt sound did not appear. It seems that only when the resources are disassembled will the full-field notification appear.
After confirming this, Northfield was relieved. He took out the resource again, handed them to Su Yu, and said: "Put it away first, and wait until all the resources are found, then we will make distribution."
"...?" Su Yu felt weird, but after confirming that Northfield was not joking, he thought about it, maybe Northfield wanted to stabilize their emotions and express sincerity?
After taking the resource and putting it into the space, the three stayed on the negative first floor for a while, walked around, and confirmed that there was really no clue. Northfield used the same method to tear open the space, the three returned to the first floor.
"You finally came out! I feel like I've been waiting for a long time!" Fenyu Xue ran over and asked, "Have you found the resource ma? Are there any clues to the energy shield a?"
Su Yu gave Fenyu Xue the fairy tale book in the space. He thought it was very suitable for Fenyu Xue to read. Innocent people might resonate with fairy tales and find some clues.
"What is this? Give me a comic book?" Fenyu Xue opened it curiously. Oh, it's not a comic book, but a fairy tale. After reading it quickly, Fenyu Xue scratched her head: "Is this the clue you found? Does this mean that we should also find a golden tree to plant? Only in this way can the sandstorm stop? But didn't the Interstellar Tournament officials say they put in an energy shield ma?"
[How can things in fairy tales exist? Find a golden tree to plant? There is sand everywhere here. How to plant it?]
[This is not right. In fairy tales, doesn't the golden tree grow in the yellow sand ma?]
[I feel that this fairy tale may not be a clue, maybe just a coincidence? Accidentally fit the reality? Or maybe when this fairy tale appeared, the entire planet had already become desertified, and the story was created under this background.]
[If you want to understand it this way, it is not impossible. A fairy tale that appears out of hope for beauty.]
The audience used the bullet screen in the live broadcast room to discuss, and in the picture, Su Yu was slightly stunned when she heard what Fenyu Xue said. Normal people's first reaction is to think about what the golden tree represents. Few people's thoughts are so straightforward, and they really understand it according to the picture.
Thinking carefully, it is possible, but the possibility is not great. The golden tree that grows with gems and love as nutrients sounds a bit dreamy and unrealistic.
"Where are we going to find golden tree species? I haven't seen a tree that needs to be raised with gems ne." No one interrupted, Fenyu Xue continued to develop her own thinking, even thought of what would happen next. She felt troubled: "I don't have any gems on me, only energy stones, and all..." As she said that, she glanced at Su Yu and automatically muted it.
She also understood a little bit of the principle of not showing off wealth.
Zhang Lingyun couldn't stand this silly kid any longer, so he interrupted, "There is no golden tree, and there is no need to plant trees. That's just a fairy tale. Our goal is still the energy shield."
Fenyu Xue was embarrassed for a moment by her true feelings just now, then naturally changed the subject: "Have you found the resource on the negative first floor ma?"
Su Yu nodded, and Fenyu Xue's eyes lit up immediately. Two hundred thousand health points, enough to lie down until the end of the game! Of course, the premise of lying down is to find the energy shield, otherwise everyone will be eliminated in the end, and it will all be over, alas.
