61. Chapter 61 The Magic Tower(1/3)
Chapter 61
Qiu Tianhao has no plans to exchange positions for the time being, but it does not mean that Lu Miao's crisis has been resolved.
At around 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the top-level material platform landed on Lu Miao's level. Even though Qiu Tianhao didn't move a mouthful, when the platform landed on the 67th floor, there was nothing left.
The iron dishes were stirred into a mess, and the entire platform exuded a strong stench. It was unknown what the people on the more than sixty floors above had done to this platform.
But even if there is nothing edible on the platform, when the platform falls to their own floor, the wizards still have to go to the chairs on the platform and sit down until the 10-minute meal time is over.
This is also one of the hidden rules that the system has not announced, but it is not too difficult to guess.
Because when the platform falls to this level, the temperature in the entire room will instantly drop below zero.
When the body temperature drops rapidly, physical strength will be consumed at an accelerated rate, which is almost fatal for low-level wizards with many floors. Therefore, even Lu Miao's roommate had to leave his bed immediately and stay on the only warm material table.
superior.
Lu Miao had read the information in advance and of course knew this rule, so he sat down on the chair very consciously.
[Trigger the main quest: Survive in the magic tower for more than 1 week.]
[Trigger side mission: Spend a pleasant meal time on the material platform (0/7)]
These two tasks were both triggered the moment Lu Miao sat on them. Lu Miao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he looked at the limited time of the two tasks.
They are all tasks with a time limit of seven days.
Doesn't this mean that they have to stay in the tower for seven days before they can get all the branches?
If the players in front of the screen knew what Lu Miao was thinking at this time, they would definitely feel speechless.
There is a roommate next to him who will eat him as a reserve food at any time, and Qiu Tianhao is eyeing him above his head. Fortunately, he still has this confidence, thinking that he can get all the branch quests like he did in the last dungeon.
Achievement.
Even if he could suddenly burst into potential and kill his roommate, it would be easier for Qiu Tianhao to come down and kill him at that time.
——There are no roommates anymore, and he can reach the 67th floor at will without the other party's consent.
But even if Lu Miao didn't think so, they still felt that Lu Miao would definitely die.
After hearing that Qiu Tianhao was looking for him and entering the game so quickly, they had already concluded that Lu Miao would definitely die.
Now it's just a matter of seeing how he dies.
The malice outside the screen cannot be conveyed to the copy on the screen.
Lu Miao boredly observed the structure of the platform and found that the chairs were welded to the platform.
Perhaps because they were worried that wizards would use local materials to kill people, the chairs on the platform were two iron chairs made entirely of steel, and the height of the chairs was very high. Lu Miao's height and leg length were already relatively high among ordinary people.
It's a superior existence, but when you sit on this chair, your feet are still hanging on the ground.
The rule that says, "You must remain elegant and sit upright on your chair when dining" is not a friendly reminder, but an ironclad rule that must be followed.
Lu Miao found that the roommate opposite him sat on the chair in a very uncomfortable way. His whole body was pressed against the chair, his back was stiff and pressed against the backrest, and his legs were tightly overlapped with the chair legs.
Together.
If the movements are not standard enough, the device on the chair will make a sharp buzzing sound, constantly irritating the eardrums of the two people.
The roommate was extremely sensitive to this kind of sound. Lu Miao just moved a little slower and glared at him fiercely, with undisguised bloodthirsty and greed in his eyes.
Lu Miao had no doubt that if he had moved any slower, the roommate who had just "kindly" reminded him not to waste his energy would immediately rise up and kill him, turning him into food rations for the next few days.
But even if he is obedient now, if in two days there is no food on this supply platform that can satisfy his hunger, this person will do that anyway.
Even if he may know the rule that "after serving one year in prison, if he still does not kill his roommate and eat meat, he can be acquitted by the tower", it is difficult to adhere to it in the face of extreme hunger and approaching death.
Believe in an unspoken rule that isn't even formally written into the rules.
He didn't take action immediately, it was just that he hadn't completely lost hope yet.
Lu Miao took his time and sat up according to the other person's posture. Before he completely annoyed the other person, the buzzing finally stopped.
The roommate stared at Lu Miao sadly for a while, but never made any move. Instead, he closed his eyes and slowly calmed down his breathing.
Lu Miao, however, was not dead. While observing the situation on the platform, he greeted the roommate opposite him in a friendly manner: "Hello, my name is Lu Miao. I was just detained today. Can you tell me your name?"
The roommate's brows furrowed, and his breathing was obviously a little disordered. He took a few deep breaths, and then said coldly: "Shut up."
Lu Miao seemed to have not noticed the other party's resistance at all, and continued to ask: "How long have you lived here? Which floor were you last on? Have you ever had enough to eat?"
Each of these questions was more troubling than the last, and the players in front of the screen couldn't stand listening.
"What is Lu Miao doing! Didn't you kill him immediately because you thought he had such a good temper?"
"This is good. They might have wanted to keep him as a reserve food, but when they get angry later, Lu Miao should not become a dead reserve food."
"I have never seen such a weird person. Mr. Qiu temporarily spared his life, but here he is looking for death."
The expected bloody scene did not appear. The players who had left Lu Miao's screen turned back one after another and couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene.
The players who supported Lu Miao were a little angry, but they could not keep up with Lu Miao's thinking, and they were not as approachable as Zhou Dongfeng. He was also a ranking player with a low IQ. He answered their doubts and could not refute the opponent confidently.
Their forbearance made these players even more unscrupulous: "This is the newcomer you are so boastful about? What else can you say about clearing two new dungeons? I think it's just luck!"
"I also read his last dungeon. It was a cooperative dungeon. Among his teammates were Qi Huai and Su Anqi, two of the top 10 guys in the rankings. Is it possible to get through this? Lu Miao Chunchun was the one who was taken away. Some
His fans also have the nerve to brag that he cleared the level by himself!"
"Does he think that this NPC didn't jump up and kill him because he has a good temper?"
Of course, Lu Miao would not think that the roommate in front of him had a good temper, so he did not kill him.
He is suppressing his temper now simply because anger will speed up the blood flow. The faster the blood flow, the more energy will be taken away. He must conserve his physical strength to avoid being killed by Lu Miao before he can kill him.
Killed back.
Lu Miao knew this clearly, but he didn't have any fear.
In this inhumane prison, the prisoners do everything to survive.
And this is his goal.
But his survival pressure not only comes from the shortage of food and water, but also from the top of his head.
Lu Miao raised his head and met Qiu Tianhao's gaze.
Qiu Tianhao looked at him interestingly, raised his eyebrows, and did not question or approve of his provocation of the NPC. He just stood there for a moment, then turned around and left Lu Miao's sight, returning to himself.
Rest on the bed over there.
Neither of them chose to kill their roommate.
However, in the eyes of the players in front of the screen, Lu Miao's failure to do this was simply due to lack of strength, while Qiu Tianhao was just the opposite.
With Qiu Tianhao's strength, he can crush any NPC in this D-level copy to death at any time. He has not done so at the moment, just because it is not necessary.
No one would deliberately crush an ant that poses no threat to them and has no sense of existence.
After Qiu Tianhao's eyes left, Lu Miao felt that the pressure was relieved a lot.
Although he was sure that Qiu Tianhao would probably not kill him before he turned on the realtruth mode of this dungeon, but Zhou Dongfeng reminded him that with Qiu Tianhao's IQ, it was too difficult to understand the reason for the dungeon upgrade.
It was simple, but he had never thought about it in the direction Lu Miao was thinking before.
The longer Lu Miao stayed in front of him, the more likely it was that Qiu Tianhao could figure out the necessary conditions for upgrading the copy.
That's why before he entered the dungeon, he asked Lu Miao to pray that he would not encounter Qiu Tianhao.
Once he meets Qiu Tianhao and is exposed to his observation, Lu Miao's value in Qiu Tianhao's eyes will decrease little by little as time goes by. Until Qiu Tianhao figures out the conditions for upgrading the copy, Lu Miao can no longer
No matter how much he pretends to be serious, to him, he is just an ordinary player who has been drained of his value and can be seen everywhere.
For Lu Miao, the time to enter the dungeon must be long enough so that he can borrow the "power" he wants, thereby achieving a reversal in strength and overthrowing Qiu Tianhao to gain the upper hand.
Both sides are fighting for time.
Lu Miao lowered his eyes and slowly exhaled. However, the players in front of the live broadcast screen just thought that he found that he could not get close to his roommate and simply gave up.
Those players who had ridiculed Lu Miao once again had contemptuous smiles on their faces.
Now Lu Miao has no intention to pay attention to the live broadcast.
His mind was working rapidly, sorting out the information he got after entering this dungeon and integrating it with the previous intelligence.
There are some things that intelligence cannot provide, such as the randomly assigned roommates and the chair he is sitting on.
Because the legs are hanging in the air, there is no place to rely on, and the people sitting on it must keep their muscles tight at all times to avoid triggering the buzzing alarm. However, there is no food on the platform in front of them to distract them.
The surface of the platform is rough and covered with scratches. Although there is no food on it, there are some grease and unknown substances remaining in the gaps. Mixed together, they make a disgusting and salivating sound.
Weird taste.
This will speed up the body's consumption efficiency, making the already hungry wizards even hungrier.
In other words, the 10-minute meal time every day is actually an alternative punishment.
The dual mental and physical torture will quickly wear away a person's patience, further irritating the fragile hearts of the wizards imprisoned in the tower, exacerbating the already severe survival conflict.
It's a bit difficult...
Lu Miao touched his chin. Because his arm had detached from the backrest of the iron chair, the iron chair buzzed again, causing the roommate opposite who had calmed down to open his eyes again and glare at him.
To be continued...
