Diep Tich felt that the last time she encountered such a painful problem, it was still when she was young and was asked by an ignorant relative, "Do you like your father or your mother more?", but at that time she had her father and mother backing her up, and before she could argue for long, her relative was scolded. But now, she needed to make her own choice.

In the midst of his sadness, a familiar voice slowly entered his ears: "Give up Mr. Mao Zi's pendant box, how about it? Give up the pendant box, and I'll allow you to draw two blind boxes, no need to give up props."

"No..." Diep Tich instinctively replied, suddenly realizing that there shouldn't be anyone talking to her here, she suddenly turned her head.

Then she saw, the fiery red fox leisurely squatting behind her.

Diep Tich cautiously took half a step back, the fiery red fox leisurely said: "Oh, don't be nervous, I'm just giving a suggestion."

This kind of talk can not make people relax.

She had experienced too many strange conversations, the red fire fox had never appeared during the settlement stage before, she had absolutely no idea what danger this could cause.

The red fox walked gracefully: "Apart from providing suggestions, I also thought of sending you off."

Diep Tich frowned: "Give it to me?"

"That's right, this smart young lady, are you really not considering joining our world?" The fiery red fox looked at her sincerely.

Diep Tich coldly shook his head: "Sorry, completely without consideration."

"Tsk tsk, but what's so good about your world?" The fiery red fox's eyes revealed disdain, "No matter what species, protecting their own young is instinct. But you will, because of intelligence, health, or even… gender, abandon your own children."

"You, for your own selfish and narrow-minded interests, define one gender as superior to the other. The powerful who have gained benefits use the excuse of 'tradition' to bully the weaker sex. On the other side of the weaker sex, there are also many people who lend a hand to the enemy."

"This kind of fierce atmosphere, many people from birth are already losers, unable to turn around for their whole life, even die on the spot, then what in the world is worth lingering over?"

"You have very excellent spiritual power, believe me, join our world, you will gain a brand new life."

Diep Tich's expression remained indifferent: "Thank you for the invitation, but I have no interest in your world. I only know that your arbitrary invasion has caused many of my compatriots to be ruined and their homes destroyed, causing our entire world to fall into turmoil."

"Oh no, I think there is some misunderstanding between us. What caused you to fall into turmoil is not us, this 'external force', but you from the very beginning did not have a perfect rule... Aaaaah!!!"

Before the fiery red fox could finish speaking, a golden light shot straight down from above its head. From the visual effect, that golden light seemed to have a very high temperature, shining on the fur on top of the fiery red fox's head, causing black smoke to curl up.

"Pain pain pain pain pain!!!" The red fiery fox that was elegant just now no longer had any trace left, finally not having time to bother with high-minded talk, its two claws covered the top of its head, screaming loudly as it disappeared from before Ye Xi.

Diep Tich: "?"

Disgusting, why don't you say more, she thought she would ask for more clues.

Now that the fiery fox's speech was forcefully interrupted, she had no choice but to continue to fuss over the props issue.

Hesitating for nearly half a minute, she reluctantly moved her gaze to the lower right corner of the interface.

There was a light gray button in the lower right corner, written on it was "Give Up", which meant maintaining the status quo, neither selecting new props nor upgrading old ones. Ye Xi had never even glanced at this button before, but now that he was faced with a prop that had reached its full level, "Give Up" had become the optimal choice.

She bit her lip and pressed the button.

Bang but a bit, the props selection interface directly closed.

Then a new subtitle popped up: "Congratulations! Achieved the promise crystal > 5, passed the section to get 1 stone / 50 points equivalent ratio, total points +150!"

"Congratulations! After collecting enough vow crystals, you will still stay in the Rule Realm until the countdown ends. Obtain the 'absolutely strict' ​​colored egg reward, and gain +50 points!"

Not bad, got 200 points again!

Diep Tich happily rubbed his hands, looking forward to meeting the props store again.

The calculation was completed, the white light dissipated in a few seconds, Ye Xi's two feet firmly planted on the ground, looking around, he returned to the Shunli orphanage, but not to the teaching area next to the dungeon, but to the bicycle tent.

She took out her cell phone and sent a message to her teammates. Everyone quickly gathered together to check and compare the settlement information. Ye Xi discovered that she had received a total of 200 points in addition to the reward through the red fox test. The [Native] distinction was 220. Wang Xinran, Li He, and Song Xin also had [Native] distinction points, and the "Absolutely Strict" egg color was 70. The remaining three teammates did not enter the strange pool with them. It was unknown where they were teleported to, but if nothing unexpected happened, they should have also received 50 points of "Absolutely Strict".

But on Xiao Leng's side, only Xiao Leng himself held 150 fire red fox test points, without "Absolutely Strict" points.

Tieu Lanh heard that and frowned: "'absolutely strict'? How to get it?"

"Pick up words." Ye Xi smiled faintly, "I was worried that the receptionist NPC who initially said 'two days' and 'three days' were not empty words, but specific numbers, so I changed it to 48 hours and 72 hours. Then based on the 'no school' time section, it was later pushed to 72 hours, waiting until noon at 12 o'clock to leave the strange chat. Now it seems that what I thought was a bit complicated... This point doesn't decide victory or defeat, it just adds a reward."

The reason she was so careful was because she was afraid that if she left early she would die.

It seems that "He" is still the fake participant group that left a lifeline.

"So that's how it is." Tieu Lanh nodded, his mood was a bit complicated, looking at her he thought, he lost again.

He realized that "Two days" and "Three days" were not empty words, so he brought everyone to sign the donation contract, but he overlooked that the "Not Going to School" time section was not the time section to enter the dungeon, so he did not get the 50 points bonus reward.

After Xiao Leng finished speaking, he began to look forward to Ye Xi asking him about the matter of the fiery fox challenge. Although she had tested it on her own, he really wanted her to know what kind of choice he was facing at that time.

But Ye Xi was completely oblivious to this "Challenge of Interlocking Forces". After knowing the integration mechanism, he let out a sigh of relief: "Let's hurry back!"

Tieu Lang: "..."

"Okay."

The squad drove back to Changxing Street. On the way, the smell of vomit from Xiao Leng's shoes made the originally car sick tycoon's condition not very good.

Vuong Tam Nhiem's ​​eyebrows furrowed to the point of almost knotting: "Is it a child spitting?"

"No." Tieu Lanh's face was expressionless, "It was a teammate who sprayed it."

"..." The four team 7 members immediately fell silent and looked towards Xiao Leng's three team members, the three of them hurriedly waved their hands: "No! It's not us! It's the other participants! Mentally broken and wanted to commit suicide, ended up giving themselves a concussion, after waking up they were vomiting!"

7 teams of four: "..."

This very spicy little interlude was written by Xiao Leng in the weird chat report and submitted, instantly becoming a laughing stock. Minister Ding, as the 17th person in charge, symbolically gave an instruction, requiring the team members to do their best to protect the safety of the masses while paying attention to the emotional issues of everyone.

But Diep Tich was paying attention to another problem, which was whether or not Mr. Mao Tu's pendant still had a function that she didn't know about.

That pendant has always been very important to her. It can ask for information from NPCs and also has the ability to not take up props. To any strange chat participant, it is undoubtedly a great divine artifact.

But this is from the perspective of these participants.

But now, the red fire fox as a high level NPC, shows strange regard for this pendant.

Speaking of which, in the karting city of Dien Ngoan, the fiery red fox looked at the pendant box and roared with anger at the "No hat, no hat", then during the orphanage's rules and regulations settlement stage, its attitude was extremely strange.

It intended to trick Ye Xi into giving up Mr. Mao Zi's pendant box. To achieve this goal, it was even willing to let Ye Xi draw another blind box.

If Ye Xi really chose like this, then it means that after she gives up the pendant box, she will get two new props, a total of five. But for the NPC, how much of a difference can these props make?

If using the number of times as a factor to evaluate the strength of the props, the pendant box can only be used once, while the max level [Fake Face Disguise] can also help participants ask for clues from the NPC's mouth, and can be used three times, which seems to be much more powerful than the pendant box.

But the red fox only cared about Mr. Mao Zi's pendant box, and didn't mind giving her props, but also wanted her to lose the pendant box.

No matter how much these props are used, they are all ineffective.

This is too strange. At that time, Diep Tich was only focused on dealing with the red fox fire, not thinking much. Now that he left the strange pond, the more he thought about it, the more strange it felt.

... Perhaps she was thinking too much? Perhaps the fiery red fox was still just because of personal grudges, and didn't want to let the participants have anything related to Mr. Mao Zi in their hands?

But at first glance it doesn't look very similar.

She took these considerations and wrote a report into the strange talk. After submitting it, Minister Ding invited her home to see it. He told her that everyone would analyze this problem together. If she had any other clues in the strange talk later, she could promptly share them with them.

Apart from this, Minister Dinh also had a serious expression and curiously asked: "Are you and Tieu Lanh now?"

Diep Tich coughed: "Captain Tieu is a good person, I will seriously consider this matter."

"Oh, good, good!" Minister Ding looked very satisfied on the surface. After she left, he sighed with a sad expression and said to Professor Tu, "I knew that Xiao Leng, this old fool, wouldn't make any progress."

Minister Ding just answered internally through interpreter Diep Tich.

Low EQ: Ah, we are not together!

High EQ: He is a good person, I will seriously consider this matter.

—— but we are not together.

.

Seventh, Ye Xi's original plan was to continue learning how to fight with Xiao Leng. But the strange rules of the orphanage made her wonder, so she and Xiao Leng asked for leave, planning to go to several large orphanages in City B to raise funds, specifically to help healthy female children.

Tieu Lang's response was: "Let's go together."

Ye Xi had already expected this, so she calmly agreed. What was somewhat unexpected was that when she mentioned this plan during a video chat with her parents on Friday night, her parents actually agreed. After cutting off the video, they gave her fifty thousand yuan, asking her to donate it to them together.

This number made Diep Tich a bit speechless.

Her family was a well-off family. Although her parents lived frugally, they had some savings, but fifty thousand was not a small amount. For ordinary people, at least for charity work, it was not something they could just casually take out.

Thinking back to her own "illegal fortune" journey for the past half year, Ye Xi was a little nervous about this amount of money. Worried that there was something she didn't know about her parents, she half-jokingly asked on WeChat: "Di Ju Bank! Did mom get rich?"

Zhao Mo quickly replied, his voice full of laughter: "You and I were surfing Douyin three times before, and there was someone who specialized in taking the Quat Quat Yue to the temple, kneeling in front of the Buddha and giving rewards. At that time, we happened to be traveling outside, and wanted to go see the Yueshan Giant Buddha. We passed by the lottery station and bought 200 yuan, and ran to the Yueshan Giant Buddha and gave rewards."

Diep Tich was shocked: "Really won the lottery?!?!"

Zhao Mo: "Isn't that right! 200 yuan bought twenty cards, won one for fifty thousand, one for fifteen thousand, and two for five. The two five thousand, your father and I took them to buy ice cream, the remaining two hundred thousand were all kept. You just said you wanted to go donate money, your father felt that this kind of unjust money that came from heaven cannot be monopolized, only by using it to do charity work can he be determined, so he gave you fifty thousand."

Then he asked again: "Do you have enough money recently? If it's not enough, take the 150,000 and go. Don't feel too wronged in City B!"

"Enough, enough, enough... I have enough flowers!" Ye Xi barely managed to calm down from the shock of "My parents are European emperors", and asked his mother, "How do you use the chef and the housekeeper?"

Zhao Mo said: "Pretty good... But how much money did you spend? Why don't you tell us? We asked them, but they didn't say, saying you didn't give it to them."

Diep Tich joked: "Don't ask, don't ask! You guys enjoy life, why do you ask so many questions!"

At this time, Zhao Mo did not speak again, on the screen "The other party is sending in" lingered for a moment, then Ye Xi received a very serious text: "Xiao Xi, you just graduated from university, how come your income is so high? Is there something you are hiding from your parents? Don't misunderstand these words, your parents know you are a good child, and won't do anything illegal, but there are so many rules and regulations gossip news, are you making money by using rules and regulations gossip?"

"You should honestly tell your parents about this… They won't blame you, but I won't make this kind of money in the future. Your safety is the most important thing."

Diep Tich stared at these lines of text, feeling guilty while quickly clearing his mind.

Firstly "Not earning this money in the future" is impossible, on the one hand she has joined 17th, can't just casually resign, moreover she also hopes to be able to use her own ability to make more people survive, on the other hand... She is a [Lucky Person], even if she leaves 17th she will still frequently enter the strange chat, the frequency will just be a little lower than actively taking out missions, but destined to be far higher than [Ordinary Person], in this matter she also doesn't have much autonomy.

So, about her body using strange rules to make money, should she tell her parents or not?

... Of course still not said.

If the problem cannot be solved, simply put, it is because her parents are worried and on guard every day for her. She is an only daughter, and since she was little, her parents are more upset than her because of the falls and broken skin. They basically cannot accept that she is on the line of life and death to make money.

So she asked for a complete excuse to avoid losing her parents' suspicion.

Diep Tich quickly typed: "Without the old lady, where would that money come from? I really made money from the media, only then did I realize that the manufacturing industry is so hot that everyone can share a cup of soup."

"Spending money on hiring a housekeeper and a chef is something we don't see as being too similar to spending money. I know you and Dad have been very frugal all your lives, but in my opinion, earning money is about improving your quality of life, so I want to let you enjoy it!"

"Don't worry, I understand all these expenses. Now that we have money, we can live comfortably. If we don't have money in the future, I will definitely tell you that I can't afford to hire these people. I will absolutely not be polite!"

On the other side of the house, Zhao Mo sat on the sofa and looked at Ye Xi's voice. Hesitantly, he raised his head: "Old Ye, Xiao Xi explained to me and was very honest with each other. We must have really thought too much."

"That's good." Diep Thu Nham breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Mo said again: "But I feel, we should still prepare some money for her, give her twenty or thirty thousand to let her go. She just told me that she can earn money because the media is currently very hot, but I think... No matter how hot the money is, not everyone can earn it. She, a senior in this class, already has such a high salary, I don't know what it would be like to work hard normally."

"Let's do it!" Ye Shuyan nodded happily, "Just in time, I've agreed on the price of the new props, we'll go trade tomorrow, we can earn 350,000. You can beat her up, if she can save up the money, and then go back and buy a house in City B, she'll feel much lighter, we'll be relieved."

Zhao Mo laughed: "I just hope she doesn't stay in City B and comes home later. You see, she doesn't plan on having a child. She can't use the educational resources in City B, so why put so much pressure on herself there?"

"What you said is right." Diep Thu Nham took a sip of tea, "But she is developing her career in city B, if she returns later she will have to start over, won't it be very uncomfortable?"

"... Also." Zhao Mo frowned, "In that case, I will transfer her another twenty thousand first, and I will keep the money for you to open a new card tomorrow. In the future, wherever she wants to buy a house, she can decide for herself."

"Let's do it like this." Ye Shuyan nodded, lying on the sofa and sending a message to the WeChat group: Newly released [Fake Weapon], level 1, price 200,000. But the requirement is to upgrade to level 2, price +100,000, welcome to add VX advisor.

.

Early Saturday morning, Xiao Leng drove to the orphanage with Ye Xi. The orphanage located in Shui Ding District is the largest orphanage in B City. The two of them donated 200,000 together, got the government-provided donation certificate, and even took pictures with the children.

On the way back to the city, they passed by a small square and saw a small-scale disturbance. There were roughly a few dozen individuals holding homemade cards and banners, calling on everyone to "Give up resistance and join a more advanced world."

This kind of situation is not common in C country, because travel in C country is illegal, requiring notification. From a young age, Ye Xi has only seen one time when the government allowed large-scale travel, it was a territorial issue.

The main reason is because it is rare, this kind of situation appears and makes people even more uneasy.

Xiao Leng held the steering wheel, quietly watched for a while, then sighed silently: "He is still very charming. Previously, I only felt that the dead person in the strange pond was not a good thing, but now it seems that the wavering stance of the participants after leaving the strange pond will also cause new dangers."

Diep Tich unconsciously felt a kind of multi-faceted attack.

Since the appearance of "Hunter's Tool", the security of the real world has been gradually destroyed by him, and many people in the dungeon have died. For the real world, this person suddenly disappeared. So first his family would be seriously injured, and next, the work he was responsible for would inevitably fall into chaos because of his disappearance.

Now, gradually, some people are starting to turn towards that world.

This is a terrifying butterfly effect, but the chaos they feel now is probably just the beginning.

Xiao Leng continued: "The F country tour has developed to a month and a half. You must have seen netizens play hard, saying that the F country surrendering is a traditional art, and surrendering to him now fits the scenario."

He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There are also conspiracy theories online, many people think that the president was kidnapped by him, the lawn in front of the governor's office was burned."

"Like this, I don't know what it will develop into."

Diep Tich's mood fell to rock bottom as he said.

Being a 00 after that, she had never seen anything chaotic, but this did not affect her clear heart, many things that now seemed natural to her, were all achieved because life was peaceful enough.

Once the world is truly in chaos to a certain point, famine, disease, and malignant crimes will all be massacred indiscriminately. At that time, I'm afraid that humanity will not have the opportunity to choose whether or not to join "His" world. For their lives, they can only bow their heads.

Is his world really like what the fiery red fox said?

... Honestly speaking, Diep Tich did not believe even a single punctuation mark.

She did not believe that a forceful participation in another civilization, seeing their separated wives and children, could have any good world, because these things were enough to prove that the superior "He" was not kind at all.

Moreover, from the situation they currently grasped, "His" power in that world was too great, and had basically achieved the effect of not selling at both prices. And from an ordinary person's perspective, facing a ruler who had absolute power over the entire world was truly terrifying.

Compared to the real world, which is full of conflict and chaos, it still makes people feel safer.

Diep Tich leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes: "How can the problem be completely solved? Is there no progress at the research institute?"

Xiao Leng shook his head: "After the bullet was confirmed to be ineffective, the progress was mixed. However, the research institute has been on the move recently. After receiving public opinion, the new plan proposed is... Suggestion 17 is suitable to change the mission focus, while trying to protect as many people as possible to evacuate, find a larger number of NPCs from the Rule Realm to carry out the mission."

Diep Tich's eyes widened: "They feel that with a large number of NPCs, they can get more clues?"

"Yes." Tieu Lang nodded, "But this is just a concept, whether it is actually effective or not is still under discussion."

Diep Tich: "What do you think?"

"En..." Xiao Leng lightly tapped his fingers on the table, "I feel like, let's take one step at a time. As for me, I don't hate my current life. Although I'm constantly jumping around on the line of life and death, having someone I care about by my side makes it very good."

"..." Diep Tich said in a low voice, "Tieu Lanh."

"Favor?"

Diep Tich turned his head to look at him, his voice low: "You can chase me, I swear I will seriously consider our feelings, but I beg you not to confess like that, okay?"

Tieu Lanh looked straight ahead, saying nothing.

Diep Tich sincerely reported: "Your confession technique is really cool."

"..." Tieu Lanh embarrassedly touched his nose, "Evil.":,,.
