Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

    Honeysuckle brought back a lot of homework. I don't know if it's because of his talent or the seriousness of listening in class. He did those strange elementary school problems without any effort.

    In the evening, the monk picked up a math homework that had not yet started, and was stunned: "What are these questions? Mom bought five cakes and gave them to the four children. How do you divide them?" He Grabbing his bald head, he truly deduced what it means for a monk Zhang Er to be confused, "This is a math problem?! Don't lie to me because I don't read much!"

    Lian Qiao was happy when he heard it: "Five cakes divided into four, I can't, nitrogen five people divided into four cakes, I can. As long as..."

    The honeysuckle who was working hard suddenly raised her head when she heard the words, and interrupted: "Don't hack children to death."

    Lian Qiao: "???" How do you know what I'm going to say!

    The monk and Little Apple on the side didn't react at first, they looked at each other and understood, they couldn't help laughing. Little Apple asked Honeysuckle: "Then what do you think about this question?"

    "It's very simple." Honeysuckle put her eyes back on the Chinese exercise book in her hand, as if she didn't want to waste too much time, and said lightly, "Five cakes, four children, Wouldn't it be just right for one person to eat with mom?"

    "Huh?!" Lian Qiao was dissatisfied, "Then how can this be called a math problem? This is clearly an ideological and moral problem!"

    Little Apple: "Yes, yes. Why can't each cake be cut into quarters, and each child gets five quarters of the cake?"

    Honey Winter said: "Because this is a subject for the first grade of elementary school. The first grade has no credits yet."

    The monk suddenly slapped his forehead: "Can you put five cakes into the juicer to make a pulp, and then divide it into four cups, so that you won't use the points!"

    Congregation: "..." I imagined that scene, and couldn't help but feel a little disgusting.

    In the end, of course, Honeysuckle did not take the strange answers of "hack a cake", "five-quarter cakes per person", "cake juice method". He wrote the words "Share with Mom" ​​in the blank space without any distractions, stroke by stroke, conscientiously.

    Because this body is still very young, it is difficult to hold a pen, so the words written are inevitably crooked, with a bit of childish innocence.

    Lian Qiao tilted his head to see him write these lines, and his heart was filled with inexplicable warmth.

    "Okay, what are you going to do? Don't disturb him." Lian Qiao started waving to chase away guests.

    "You really throw it away when you run out." Little Apple threw down the handicraft she had just made, with a look of disgust, "You scumbag."

     Honeysuckle also has a lot of manual work. Little Apple was ingenious and contracted most of it. The monk can't do it. A big man took a small pair of scissors and cut himself into a sweaty bitch. He was so anxious that even the orchid fingers came out, but he still couldn't cut a complete window grille.

    Therefore, as soon as Lian Qiao drove away the guests, the monk happily took the little apple and left.

    For financial and security reasons, they live together in the next room. Although it is said that men and women are not close to each other, the monk is an upright monk after all, and he can also recite sutras. Little Apple not only didn't mind at all, but also felt very secure.

    After the two left, Lian Qiao took over the unfinished work. In fact, he is not very good at this kind of things, but when he thinks that this is the homework that Xiao Rendong will be handed in in class tomorrow, he becomes extra patient and meticulous.

    He carefully held the window grilles in front of Honeysuckle, the watery eyes of the deer blinked, waiting for the praise with joy.

    Seeing you, Ren Dong, with surprise in her eyes, she said with a smile, "It's so beautiful, the teacher will praise me in class tomorrow."

    "Hey hey hey." The silly son of the landlord's family became happy again.

    The next day, Lian Qiao got up early, prepared breakfast for Honeysuckle, and sent him to study.

    Although the school is just across the road, Lian Qiao still has a sense of ceremony, as if he is really a father of a child, and even carefully checks the little bag of Honeysuckle before going out to see his homework Did you bring the books?

    Honeysuckle laughed that he was too involved in the play, he smiled and rubbed the little head of Honeysuckle, but thought sweetly and slightly sour in his heart: The love you didn't have the chance to get when you were a child, now I want to double the compensation for you .

    It's not good enough for you.

    After sending the little honeysuckle, Lian Qiao came back to meet the monk and the others.

    Yesterday everyone explored the entire neighborhood. Since they were helping Honeysuckle with homework at night, they didn't have time to share the clues. I sat down and discussed it for a while, but I still found that I didn't have the slightest clue.

    "Hey, maybe we have to raise him to 28 years old to unlock the next clue." Little Apple was worried, "But why do I think that nothing good will happen in 2020?"

    "What is the key player for?" The monk scratched his head. He has not experienced the orphanage period with everyone, so he is still curious about the key player of Honeysuckle.

    Lian Qiao said: "In the past dungeons, I have encountered three..."

    He wanted to say that he had met a key player three times, but after a change of heart, he decided to conceal that he was a key player in the nesting doll dungeon. Then he changed his mouth and said, "...Oh no, strictly speaking, only twice."

    Little Apple asked keenly: "What do you mean? What is 'strictly speaking'?"

    "Because I and Honeysuckle were typed separately once." He didn't change his face and explained half-truth, "We got a pair of eyeball props and equipped them on two people. If we can share our vision. At that time, he and I happened to enter two dungeons at the same time. As a result, we saw the situation of the other dungeon in our respective dungeons.”

    "Is there such a thing?" As a senior gamer, Xiao Apple became excited when he heard the word "prop", and asked with glowing eyes, "Then what?"

    "He met a key player on his side, and I didn't. So strictly speaking, I only met a key player twice."

    "That's it?" Little Apple frowned and said suspiciously, "What is there to emphasize, it's so strange that you say that."

    Lian Qiao thought he could solve this problem, but he didn't expect Little Apple to be so sharp. He was secretly surprised, but on the surface he showed a displeased look: "Why? You are not allowed to be strict?"

    "Okay." Little Apple pouted, obviously not satisfied with the answer.

    The monk scratched his head, looked at Lian Qiao and then at Little Apple. To be honest, he didn't really understand what the two were talking about. He was just a weak, helpless and mentally retarded rookie player, so he tried to turn the topic back to a level he could understand: "...So who is the key player? What is it for? Can you put it simply?"

    "Key players have two roles. One is to provide clues, and the other is to affect the difficulty of the dungeon." Lian Qiao said, "For example, I have experienced a dungeon called 'esophagus', in which the The final boss is a Greek female monster named Lamia. In order to clear the level, she must return her children to her, but she also has a habit of eating children, so...well, it's a bit complicated to say. In short, you must know Lamia The legend of Asia, otherwise it will not pass the level at all."

    Little Apple was at a loss: "Wait, aren't we talking about key players? Why didn't I understand what you meant?"

    Monk: "!" I'm finally not the only mentally retarded one!

    Lian Qiao laughed: "Then let me ask you, do you know the name 'Lamia', the root of which is 'esophagus' in Greek?"

    Little Apple was stunned.

    Lian Qiao said: "I'm telling you now that the monster is called Lamia, but in the dungeon at that time, the monster didn't have a name on its head, and it wouldn't tell you what it was called. . What we saw was just a white basilisk. There are so many varieties of basilisk in myths and legends, who knows which one it is? And there is no network in the copy, so there is no way to take pictures and recognize pictures. Even if the offline version is downloaded on the mobile phone The encyclopedia, who would have thought it was Lamia if he hadn't known it in the first place?"

    Little Apple finally reacted: "So that time, the key player recognized Lamia?"

    Lian Qiao: "Oh, it wasn't that time, it was me that time. After all, I am knowledgeable."

    Little Apple: "..." Can't help showing an expression of wanting to kill.

    Lian Qiao couldn't help laughing when she saw her pained appearance: "But then we found out that there was actually a little fat man in the team who knew about it. He is a writer, and recently A book has just been published, and the content is about Lamia. The same is true for another key player that Ren Dong met. He already knew the real meaning of the copy name without checking the data, and thus grasped the most critical clues for customs clearance. ."

    Little Apple: "What about the third one?" Her tone gradually became serious, "Increasing the difficulty of the dungeon means...?"

    Lian Qiao sighed: "The third key player is a big man, whose strength is unbelievable and unscientific. That dungeon is his last level. According to him, The difficulty of the dungeon has increased a lot due to his existence. In fact, the dungeon is no longer difficult, it is simply impossible to clear the level. There are a total of 91 players in that dungeon, can you believe it? But if you follow the dungeon process normally, In the end, the only one who has the ability to pass the customs is the big guy."

    The amount of information is a bit large, Xiao Apple pondered for a moment, and asked: "Then how did you and Xu Rendong pass the customs?"

    "..." Lian Qiao sighed again, "I don't know."

    Little Apple: "Huh???"

    Lian Qiao: "We cooperated with the boss. It was Ren Dong to talk about it, I don't know the specific content. When I came back to my senses, I was already led by the boss to clear the customs. "

    Little Apple: "Could it be that some PY was carried out in secret..."

    Before she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that the word "PY transaction" was a bit offensive to Honeysuckle, so she quickly cut off her words, stuck her tongue out and apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, I said I'm used to it... (Note

     Even Joe was really unhappy, but Xiao Apple apologized, and he didn't pursue it.

    The monk listened to the two people chatting for so long, only to feel that the question mark on his forehead grew a lot.

    "Amitabha, I'm afraid that poor monk is not mentally retarded." The monk sighed, "And he is the only mentally retarded in the current team, how desolate."

    "It's okay, I understand, I'll explain it to you later." Little Apple smiled heartily, and said to Lian Qiao, "Thank you, tell me this." After the conversation changed, she frowned again and said, "Alas, if the boss Ren Dong was like you, it would be great if he would tell me the reasoning process. Speaking of which, why didn't you tell me?"

    "He has his reasons."

    "You don't even know?"

    "Hmm."

    Xiao Apple said in surprise: "Then don't you think there is a problem? You are all in this relationship, what else does he have to hide from you? Besides, this is your last book. So high, isn't he afraid of delaying things without telling you?"

    "Don't ask, I trust him." Lian Qiao said calmly, "Even if he kills me, I will be happy."

    Little Apple: "..." Really makes people blind.

    The three sat together and discussed the whereabouts of the elevator and buttons for a while. Still no clue.

    "The clues are too few." Little Apple said, "The collection is not enough to solve the mystery."

    Yes. In the past dungeons, the clearance conditions were basically hidden in the name of the dungeon. As long as the information mastered by the key players was obtained, the customs clearance would be a little tricky.

    And this copy is called "1992-2020", Xu Rendong is the only one among all players who was born in 1992, and grew up little by little from a newborn baby. The name of this dungeon seems to only suggest one thing, that is—Xu Rendong is a key player.

    But what's the point of knowing that? What is the key information that the key players have this time?

    "There are too few clues..." Lian Qiao muttered to himself, repeating what Xiao Apple said.

    He unconsciously raised his hand and pressed his chest. Through the clothes, I felt a slender and hard thing.

    Xiao Apple's eyes moved, noticed his subtle movement, and asked, "What is hanging around your neck?"

    Lian Qiao's body trembled slightly. He quickly came back to his senses, narrowed his eyes, and said unhappily, "My honeysuckle gave me a birthday present. Why are you jealous?"

    Apple: "…"

    Damn, why should I talk so much.
