72. Chapter 72 Magic Tower (1-3 more)(1/3)
Chapter 72
Lu Miao's heart tightened. He thought the girl regarded them as food. After saying this, she would become a boss who attacked him.
But it didn't.
After the girl finished speaking, she stared at him, as if she felt that he had come in from outside and must have brought food.
Lu Miao, facing her expectant eyes, was as calm as water, and was still thinking about whether there would be any punishment if he could not take out the food.
He still felt that the girl in the red dress was the boss of this copy.
There are no monsters on the 1st to 100th floors of the Magic Tower because it is full of human sinism. The physical and mental torture caused by the material platform and the spotlights on the top of the tower are already very unbearable. Not to mention that if it goes to the lower level, players will also face the attack of the wizard NPC.
But the 101st floor, which is the layer where the girl in the red dress is located, does not have any danger of matching the D-level dungeon.
The main task triggered by Lu Miao did not show the words completed.
This does not conform to the logic of the game design, so Lu Miao always remained vigilant, thinking that this level is either related to the boss or hidden other dangers.
He asked the girl in the red dress tentatively: "If I found you something to eat, would you take us out of here?"
The girl in the red dress looked at him strangely: "Aren't you sent by Daddy and Dad? Why don't you know where to go?"
But she didn't care much about this matter. After asking, she nodded on her own: "Okay, I may remember a little bit of the way out, but Dad and Dad haven't taken me through for a long time. I only remember a little bit."
She gestured with her fingers guiltily, her thumb and index finger were almost close together, obviously because she was not confident in her memory.
"And I'm too hungry, can you find me some food first?"
[The main mission progress is updated, escape from the magic tower, current mission progress: 1%]

【Countdown start: 9:59】
Lu Miao was silent for a moment.
It seems that there are indeed huge difficulties waiting for him, but it is not the little girl in the red dress in front of her.
This little girl should be a npc who needs to be protected or even taken good care of.
Lu Miao took a breath of air conditioning, and for the first time he felt something was a bit tricky - he couldn't take care of the children.
The genetic disease Lu Miao suffered from was almost the sum of systemic lesions. The initial abnormality began with his overly active brain.
After participating in the interstellar business war simulation competition at the age of 18 and winning the first place with unthinkable business war methods, Lu Miao should have taken over the company's largest industry with the momentum of this competition, and began to inherit the family business like his peers.
But just as Lu Miao finished the procedures and started working, something happened that made the company's board of directors doubt his ability to control himself—
Lu Miao almost killed the son of a major shareholder of the company.
The matter has been too long, and Lu Miao can't remember the details of the invitation. He only remembered that day, as he followed his father's instructions, he went to the company two days in advance, and was about to meet with all the shareholders of the board of directors. When he was visiting one of the shareholders, the shareholder happened to have a meeting to hold, so he asked him to help him take care of his son who was over 20 years old.
That kid is an illegitimate child.
Lu Miao, or the Lu family, are very sensitive to such things. In the interstellar world where monogamy is highly implemented, cheating is enough to be sentenced, and illegitimate children are even more despised by society. They cannot inherit the marriage property of married people, and are plagued by public opinion, and are almost unable to engage in normal social life.
Therefore, cheating is not only a disloyal to the marriage, but also an irresponsible for having children from illegitimately wedlock.
Lu Miao hated this kind of behavior. Although he did not have much malice towards the forced illegitimate child, he could not show much love. His concept of care was simply watching the other party without causing trouble.
Lu Miao was only 18 at that time, but because of his high IQ, he had basically nothing to say with his peers.
Although the person opposite is in his 20s, in Lu Miao's eyes, he is not much different from a 10-year-old brat.
Otherwise, an adult with normal intelligence would not have to arrange work for him by his father. If he leaves occasionally, he would need to give someone special instructions to help him take care of him.
Lu Miao thought that even if the shareholder was for his father's sake, he would not leave him aside for too long, and made plans. If the shareholder did not show up within 10 minutes, he would visit the next shareholder first.
Then you can just hand over the giant baby to his father's subordinates with you.
Who knew that these 10 minutes brought earth-shaking changes to his life.
Lu Miao still doesn't remember how the knives appeared in his hand. He only remembers that the illegitimate son of the shareholder had pestered him to play a simulated business war game, but no matter how many times he played, he couldn't compare to Lu Miao. Later, he simply became angry and rushed up to beat him.
If you can't compare, you have to do it, which is a very low IQ performance.
Lu Miao was too lazy to care about such a person, but the other party didn't know which sensitive nerve was touched. Suddenly, he accused Lu Miao of looking down on him as an illegitimate child, but he was just a lucky person and reincarnated into a family of a legal couple.
"How did you know that your parents have never betrayed each other?"
"Monogamy is originally contrary to human instinct. Love is just a brief sense of pleasure produced by dopamine secreted by the brain. At most, this dopamine will gradually stop secreting - as long as it is a human, it cannot resist this instinct!"
"Do you look down on me? Have you ever thought that your parents might be outside, and there are illegitimate children as old as me? I remember that your father had an engagement with someone else and fell in love with your mother later, right? Why is your mother not a third party?"
"After all, you are just a bastard born from a third party, just like me!"
“…”
Such brainless speeches are completely infuriating Lu Miao in normal times.
He even wondered why the other party called him a bastard.
The law does not stipulate any crimes for illegitimate children. It is just that the protection of the common property of the couple within the marriage relationship is erased from the inheritance of the illegitimate children to the marriage property of the party with the marriage is protected.
It is also very common for interstellar humans to fall in love between different races. The word "mix" must be prosecuted if you say it.
But at that time, Lu Miao still found a knife from somewhere and chased the shareholder's illegitimate son out of the office.
Interstellar humans have poor mental stability and often require psychological treatment. However, as a decision maker of the company, Lu Miao, who is psychologically extreme, is obviously not suitable to take over the company so early.
Lu Miao's entry was extended indefinitely.
Then there were a series of changes. Lu Miao was diagnosed with a genetic disease. At first it was a brain lesions, which made him fall into a long-term illogical hallucination when he encountered the boss in the first copy. Sometimes he was wondering whether it was the lesions that caused the changes in the world in front of him or the drugs.
Lu Miao had a long time to resist treatment and resist all medical methods, and refused to even enter the treatment warehouse.
Even though his brain lesions have been controlled now and almost all over his body becomes weak due to genetic diseases, the incident at that time still left a deep impression on him.
——He is not suitable for raising children.
It’s okay for a boy, but the one he needs to take with him is a little girl. It seems that he has to be responsible for not only her safety, but also for her food and drink.
Why did it happen after he lost the crucible?
In order to make the drama "killing people and rob treasures" appear more realistic, he left the only prop that can make food, "The Wizard's Crucible", and also gave up the ownership of the Crucible by the way.
Unlike the skills bound to the player, props can be snatched. If a player encounters an opponent whose strength is far stronger than his or her thief skills, the props in the warehouse may be snatched away directly by the other party, thereby changing the ownership rights.
This kind of snatch can also take effect on players and NPCs.
Lu Miao's crucible is already a bug-like existence in this dungeon. Lu Miao can even use the crucible to formulate new rules for other npc wizards, which has obviously broken the balance of the dungeon.
In order to suppress Lu Miao, the dungeon will definitely make a balanced move, and directly taking Lu Miao's crucible is the fastest and most effective method.
In this way, Louis snatched his crucible and became a copy that restricted Lu Miao from appearing too deliberate.
Although it was a temporary idea, Lu Miao had already made plans and made changes within a reasonable plan. Therefore, everything seemed so natural. No matter how smart Qiu Tianhao was, he would not be able to find his flaws for a while.
However, before Lu Miao came down, he never thought that there would be an NPC waiting for him to feed him, because it was a message from Zhu Nimo who was suddenly untied, and Lu Miao didn't even have time to bring some food to come down.
He looked at the girl with fair skin, big eyes flashing, and a little baby fat on his face, and his previous doubts came back to his mind: "How did you live here for 10 years?"
The girl acted for granted: "They will deliver food to me every day!"
every day?
Lu Miao was puzzled that when the material platform arrived at him, there was almost nothing to eat. He didn't think that such a girl who was obviously a spoiled girl would eat the leftovers of others.
As if seeing his suspicion, the girl hurriedly said, "I ate very little! It only takes a few drops!"
A few drops...
Lu Miao was stunned for a moment, and soon realized how the blood under the table disappeared. He became alert and observed the girl quietly: "What are a few drops?"
"Water!" the girl blinked and asked naively: "Or what else can I eat?"
Her expression was not like a fake. Lu Miao stared at her eyes for a long time, but he didn't see any bankruptcy. Instead, he looked at her dark and bright eyes with a strange sense of familiarity.
His heart moved: "Louis?"
Without any warning, the girl blinked her eyes full of doubt, and two bean-sized tears suddenly fell down, which made Lu Miao stunned.
The girl himself seemed to feel no abnormality and asked him: "Who is Louis?"
Lu Miao stared at her for a while, a little confused, but in the end he didn't say anything, just shook his head: "Your eyes look very similar to him."
To be honest, when he took Louis's hand and pushed himself down, Lu Miao could not help feeling a little guilty when he saw the panic and astonishment that surged up like a tide in Louis's eyes.
Lu Miao hasn't had this kind of emotion for a long time, mainly because he has rarely done anything he regrets since he became sensible. All his actions are made after completely considering the consequences and making the optimal solution he thinks is.
In that situation, he could not pretend to be stupid and perfunctory Qiu Tianhao again, but he could not guarantee whether Qiu Tianhao would suddenly start to doubt him.
And if he had left the edge of the passage at that time, he would not know that he could get close to the passage next time, and if he fell down, Qiu Tianhao would immediately doubt when the chance was to go.
Although it was a decision made in a hurry, Lu Miao took into account the overall situation and the gap in strength between the two sides, and various choices of interests.
The only thing that was not considered was Louis.
Louis is the npc in the dungeon, and he is the only person in the whole thing who does not have any interest position.
Lu Miao received education since childhood to be as mutually beneficial as possible, but when a person who does not need any benefits at all appears in the plan, Lu Miao will instinctively ignore his needs.
It was also when he fell off the passage and saw the pain in Louis's eyes that he suddenly realized that he seemed to have done something wrong.
To be continued...
