Cook in full swing in an escape game

Chapter 12 Entering the "Platform" for the First Time

When Lin Sheng opened his eyes, what he saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.

After leaving the game, the players are sent to the "platform" for a temporary rest. The "platform" is a large player community with a variety of functional buildings and is absolutely safe.Players live here when they are not participating in the game.

The system told him that this would be his home from now on. After getting out of bed, Lin Sheng walked around the house and saw that the 80-square-meter house was divided into two rooms and one living room. Except for basic furniture, there was nothing left. No.

Strange deserted.

There was nothing to see in the house, so Lin Sheng went out. This building is located at No. 1 Tianmu Street. After Lin Sheng went out, he found that the whole building seemed to have only one floor, but what was even more strange was that although only I am a single family, but there is an endless stream of people coming and going in and out of the lobby.

Where did they go?

Lin Sheng was looking at the building curiously, only to hear someone beside him giggling, "Are you new here?"

Lin Sheng turned his head to look, and there was a little boy sitting on the sofa, about eight or nine years old, he was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, his short legs couldn't reach the ground, and he was dangling restlessly in the air.

Lin Sheng was even more surprised. He looked around, but he didn't see any adult looking after the little boy.

"Don't look for it, I don't have an adult." The little boy came over and stood in front of Lin Sheng with his hips akimbo, "I don't need an adult."

Lin Sheng: "...well, where do you live then?"

The little boy pointed to the building with his chin, "I live here, not just me, everyone lives here."

Lin Sheng: "What do you mean, is there such a large space in this building?"

The little boy said proudly: "I don't know, you, me and other people, we are just a set of data in "Sky Screen", so we only need one house, and everyone's homes are overlapping. Identity authentication can directly return to your home, which not only saves space, but also avoids theft and robbery."

Seeing that the child spoke clearly and logically, Lin Sheng sighed in admiration: "Amazing."

"There are even more powerful ones." The little boy said disdainfully: "Go around the street, there is a weapon shop at the corner, I think you are thin and weak, and you don't look like you can fight, the second level of the game It will start soon, why don't you buy a guy to defend yourself?"

After the little boy finished speaking, he went home without hesitation, leaving only a short figure behind. Lin Sheng was amused by his young man's behavior, and he wanted to go out to have a look. If so, he should go to that weapon shop first alright.

The weapon shop at the corner is very recognizable, and a signboard with a large ax engraved on it hangs high above, looking very impressive.

There is only the boss in the store, and there are all kinds of cold weapons hanging on the walls, such as crossbows, bows and arrows, broadswords, long swords...

"welcome!"

The boss is an enthusiastic middle-aged man. He greeted Lin Sheng and asked with a smile, "What do you want to buy?"

Lin Sheng looked around, the big ones in this store were all hung on the wall, and the smaller ones were displayed on the counter. With a glance, Lin Sheng saw a string of numbers longer than a phone number on the price tag. 0.

Lin Sheng turned pale with shock, thinking about the little silver in his pocket, he quickly looked away, and followed the boss' finger to look at the knife he recommended.

"This is the best seller in our store. It is small, convenient and practical." The boss took out the knife and turned it flexibly between his fingers. A cold light flashed on the smooth metal surface, and the cold blade was played in the boss's hands. , is dazzling.

"How about it?"

Lin Sheng hesitated, "How much?"

"50."

Lin Sheng:!

"...Are there any cheaper ones?"

Hearing this, the boss immediately withdrew his smile, and lost the enthusiasm just now. He turned around and rummaged through the box, found an iron rod, and said angrily: "This is the cheapest, ten thousand !"

Lin Sheng looked at the things in front of him carefully, and couldn't help but feel ashamed.This iron rod seems to have just been unearthed, with a layer of dust attached to it, with pits and pits on the surface, and rust spots can be seen faintly.

"This iron rod... looks like a yam."

Almost being beaten up by the boss, Lin Sheng thought in his heart as he walked, this is really a black shop, and the rags sell for [-] yuan, it was all the bad idea of ​​that little boy.

As he walked, Lin Sheng saw a large square in front of him, and for some reason a lot of people gathered there.

There are several sheds set up in Qianmen Square, and there are many people queuing in front of each shed. Lin Sheng found out after asking, it turned out that the guild in the game was recruiting new recruits.

"Sky Curtain" allows players to set up guilds. The guilds are powerful, and there are many experts inside. Teaming up with experts can not only improve the survival rate, but also grow rapidly. Therefore, the number of guilds is one carrot and one pit. If there is a vacancy, the competitors will squeeze in even if they grab the head.

Lin Sheng also wants to join a guild. He is a pure novice and seriously inexperienced. Even if he can chat with old players, it will be of great benefit, but...

Looking at the winding and endless queue, Lin Sheng retreated in his heart. When will this line up? What if half of the line is teleported to the next game?

He just heard that there is a black market not far ahead. Unlike regular stores, the black market is a place where players trade with players, and occasionally there are some good things.When Lin Sheng came out of the weapon shop, he was still empty-handed, and he didn't want to queue up, so he went to the black market.

The black market is a long and narrow one-way street. There are various stalls on both sides of the road. The stall owners stand or sit beside them, greeting the customers. The crowd here is crowded and lively. Lin Sheng strolled with his hands behind his back. After walking half a street, he felt his eyes opened.

Rings with attribute bonuses, masks that can be disguised, necklaces that can bring good luck...the place is full of all kinds of weird gadgets, in addition, Lin Sheng also saw the curved Knife, hidden weapon, nunchaku.

After walking around, Lin Sheng was almost dazzled, but unfortunately he only had 1 yuan in his pocket. He bought an item slot, which is similar to a portable space, so he doesn’t have to carry physical recipes in the future; he also bought a small alarm clock , this thing can display the countdown to the start time of the next game. It is not expensive, but it is very practical.

When the black market was approaching the end, Lin Sheng had lost all hope. The prices of weapons and commodities were very high. It seemed that the owner of the weapon shop was not evil, but that Lin Sheng was too poor.

But he didn't expect that a small stall not far ahead suddenly attracted his attention.

The stall owner was a strong bearded man. He set up a chair and sat with his legs crossed to read a book quietly. A bohemian-style blanket was spread beside his feet. There were no dazzling array of products on the blanket, only A few pots of prickly pears make him unique among the vendors.

The edge of the eyes is a very mysterious thing. With just one glance, Lin Sheng fell in love with one of the pots. The green oval sphere is lying in the grass, and the long golden thorns are translucent in the sun, and the top is light yellow. Lin Sheng squatted down, pointed at it and asked, "How much is this pot?"

He knew that he didn't come to visit the flower market, but he just liked the pot of cactus and wanted to have it very much.

The stall owner raised his eyes and said lazily, "2000".

This is really affordable, but Lin Sheng thought about it, isn't it possible to bargain in the free market in the real world? If the seller cheats, the buyer who doesn't bargain will become a real scammer. No matter what, there is no point in bargaining. loss.

Thinking of this, Lin Sheng cleared his throat, pretending to be sophisticated and said, "1000."

The stall owner gave him a sideways glance, and Lin Sheng realized that the book the bearded man was reading was called "The Lone Wolf".

The stall owner put the book aside, and he made a posture. Before Lin Sheng could react, he drew a knife from the side of his boot and pointed it at the pot of prickly pears.

"If you cut it in half, I will have to cut it in half."

Lin Sheng: "..."

Holding the prickly pear he saved from the knife, Lin Sheng walked back the same way. The long line he had lined up had no intention of shortening. Lin Sheng looked at the countdown. He still had three hours to move freely. , I saw a commotion in front of one of the sheds, as if someone had a dispute.

"Aren't you just kidding me!"

"Player, I hope you can calm down, your conditions really don't meet our requirements."

"You all come to judge! This guild is recruiting newcomers in black and white, and it also said that it will train talents according to the guild model, but when it comes to the interview, it says that I have only passed one level and have too little experience. Aren't you just recruiting newcomers? ? If I pass seven or eight levels, can I still be called a novice? Do I still need you to train me?"

Hearing that there were people making a fuss here, more and more people gathered around, wanting to join in the fun. The dispute was still going on, and the onlookers also began to discuss.

"It's a quarrel, what's going on? Which guild is this?"

"Heart of Roses!"

"Heart of Rose is also engaging in recruitment scams? No matter what, it is the number one guild, so don't be ashamed!"

"What do you know, this is not a recruitment scam, they don't want to recruit people at all!"

Hearing someone say this, the people in the back all came over, "No recruiting? I waited in line for three hours and still haven't arrived. Why did I suddenly stop recruiting?!"

"You don't even think about it, how can Rose Heart be short of people? The top executives of other guilds still want to jump over, where can they get real newcomers? They come here to set up a shed, but it's just a formality, the annual recruiting event , Heart of Rose doesn't want to be absent."

"Isn't this just playing with people!"

"I won't line up anymore!"

"Are you stupid? He lied to you. It will be his turn after you all leave."

......

Everyone said something to each other, Lin Sheng felt dizzy when he heard it. He heard that someone had waited in line for three hours and hadn't arrived yet. Lin Sheng was secretly glad that he didn't line up at that time, otherwise the time would be wasted, and he might end up in vain. .

Back home, Lin Sheng placed the prickly pear on the window sill, adding a touch of life to the room.Back from the black market, Lin Sheng sadly realized his position in this game—a rookie with neither experience nor money, probably no way to join the guild...

He touched his recipe, and an idea came to his mind.

Maybe, he can develop more special food, and set up a stall on the black market when he returns to the "platform" next time?
