Chapter 250

Wen Jianyan's words fell to the ground, and there was only dead silence in the dark room.

The other people were looking at him with different expressions in their eyes. There was absolutely no reason for the inference that Wen Jianyan had just said. There was a sense of jump in it that was difficult for them to understand. It was as if he had skipped several steps. It was not like

It's reasoning, but it seems like a bold imagination produced out of thin air, but...

Although they are far inferior to Wen Jianyan in terms of the level of exploration of the dungeon and the revelation of deep rules, as senior anchors, they are both very sensitive to clues.

How did the conclusion Wen Jianyan just mentioned come about? But within the larger framework of the copy of Changsheng Building, it seems particularly reasonable.

"..." Orange Tang narrowed his eyes and suddenly sneered, "Prophecy."

Qi Qian and others were stunned, and turned to look over.

They didn't know that Wen Jianyan lied to Orange Tang and said that he was a prophet. After hearing Orange Tang's specious emotion, they couldn't help but show a "puzzling" expression, as if they didn't understand the other person's emotion.

Where did it come from.

Orange Candy did not continue to talk about this topic, but fell into silence again.

Qi Qian paused, looked at Wen Jianyan again, and asked:

"You mean, the incense we got from the donation box is actually the food purchased by the 'customers' on the fourth floor, right?"

"Maybe." Wen Jianyan paused and immediately agreed with the other party's guess.

After all, the operating rules of the fourth level are far different from those of the first three levels.

Within the first three floors, there are already corresponding products in the store. "Customers" enter and purchase the products, and the vacancies left are automatically filled by the source of the curse. Although the goods sold on each floor are different, the deeper

The operating rules are much the same.

Although the anchors don't know the specific content of each level's curse and where it comes from, they at least understand the general process. Even if they encounter dangers beyond the ordinary, they also know the general direction of efforts.

Can be four floors...

But it completely broke this routine.

First of all, there are no real "goods" in the store, so the so-called curse naturally starts with talking about it.

After this most basic point disappears, the entire set of behavioral rules based on it has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The purpose of the incense, the food that the "customers" need, including the dangers that the "customers" may bring after getting the food... these issues are all mysteries to Wen Jianyan.

Maybe they have to deal with a customer first before they can figure out the answer.

However, before that, Wen Jianyan had another thing to ask.

He looked at the two teams in front of him and asked: "How many sticks of incense do you have on hand now?"

Qi Qian: "I have one here."

Orange Candy also raised a finger.

This is a bit troublesome.

Wen Jianyan frowned slightly and lowered his eyes.

Although the rules of "Curse" have changed, as a dungeon framework other than the store, the way to go upstairs in the dungeon [Prosperity Building] should be fixed.

That is, as long as enough turnover is collected, you will enter the next level.

In this case, the hell coin he got in the stairwell as a trade should be included in it.

To upgrade from the fourth floor to the fifth floor, you should need four hell coins.

He has one in his hand, so they need to receive at least three customers next, but there are only two incense sticks on hand. In other words, no matter what, they all lack one incense stick to "offer".

The other people also realized this problem and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Zhang Yu's nervous voice came from outside: "Team! You'd better come out!"

Although his voice was calm, the solemnity and tension in his voice could not be concealed, causing the hearts of those in the dark room to tremble.

Several people looked at each other: "Let's go out and take a look."

They took the incense burner on the table and walked quickly towards the dark room.

Inside the shop, the oil lamp was dimly lit.

In the center of the large and empty space, four sets of bright red wooden tables and chairs were lined up, as if waiting for the arrival of customers.

In order to prevent light from reaching the outside, the blocking props are firmly attached to the door, leaving no gaps.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that the temperature in the room is lower and the light is getting darker.

"What's going on?" Qi Qian asked.

Zhang Yu's brows were furrowed tightly. He opened his mouth, and when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by an external voice——

"Knock, knock, knock."

The knocking sound was very soft, but very clear.

"!"

Everyone was shocked and looked in the direction of the sound.

It's the shop door.

Something is knocking outside.

"Zhang Yu," Qi Qian's pupils shrank, "What's going on?"

Zhang Yu: "It sounded suddenly a minute ago. After I heard the knock on the door, I immediately called the team and you are here. This is the second sound -"

Before he finished speaking - "Knock, knock, knock."

Three more sounds.

It seems to be very polite, but if you have the heart to calculate, you will realize that the rhythm between each knock on the door is as precise as calculated by a machine, stiff, dull, without any emotion, and there is no error.

In other words, it is not a person who knocks on the door, but a corpse.

Moreover, the intervals between knocks this time were shorter than last time.

It's like someone outside is urging you.

Immediately after realizing this, a biting chill hit me from the back of my head.

"It's a customer," Qi Qian looked grim and asked in a low voice, "Have you blocked every blind spot on the door?"

Zhang Yu gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Of course."

Wen Jianyan spoke up at this moment: "This is not our problem."

[Prosperous Building] This instance is a limited-time instance. There are less than three hours left before the instance ends. In other words, as long as you survive these three hours, you can still make it out alive even if you don't make much progress.

As a team that can eliminate the anchor team at any time, "delaying time" is naturally not considered, but this is only based on the premise of [normal process].

As the number of levels increases, the difficulty increases. It may be the wisest decision to stay at a certain level and not move forward.

If each anchor team estimates that its own strength is not enough, and the other teams are also estimated to be weak, then they will probably all make the same choice——

Block the glass doors in your respective stores so that you are not targeted.

As long as a team enters the fifth floor, they will not die.

It's a pity that this copy of [Prosperity Building] is too cruel.

There is absolutely no room for anchors to take advantage of.

"Do you remember the lantern hanging at the door of the shop?" Wen Jianyan said.

Hearing this, several people were startled.

The fourth floor is different from the other floors. There are two dusty lanterns hanging at the entrance of every shop on the fourth floor. Although they don't know where the lanterns come from, Wen Jianyan knows clearly - on the third floor, there are two dusty lanterns.

There are such lanterns hanging at the entrance of the courtyard in the three paintings.

Obviously, as the number of floors increases, the layout of Changsheng Building becomes more and more like a courtyard, so this prop appears only at the door.

In such a copy, any props exist for a reason.

"You mean..." Wei Cheng was startled and said, "If we try to avoid risks and are closed during the hours, the lanterns at the door will automatically light up to attract customers for us?"

"Looking at it like this, it probably is."

Wen Jian sighed softly and replied.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The knock on the door rang again, each knock hitting people's hearts and making them tremble.

"Although there are many issues that have been clarified, we must now receive the first customer," Qi Qian narrowed his eyes and said cautiously, "Do you remember the lessons on the first floor?"

If a shop that is open refuses to open, death awaits them.

"The solution is just to take it one step at a time." An Xin sighed and nodded in agreement with Qi Qian.

Qi Qian turned to look at Wen Jianyan, handed him the unlit incense stick in his hand, and said quickly:

"Since you are the one who proposed this theory, the specific operation will be left to you," he said, looking at the Orange Candy Team, "Are you interested?"
