19. The art of speaking
Su Wu noticed that the simulator officially called the lantern ghost "eye ghost".
This title does not seem appropriate at first glance.
Why did the simulator call the red lanterns in the sky "eye ghost"?
Are those red lanterns the eyes of the ghost?
If the red lanterns covering most of the city of Mingzhou were all a strange eye, how big would its body be?
Or is this ghost itself made up of countless lanterns?
An indescribable shadow lingered in Su Wu's heart. He shuddered, threw all kinds of speculations out of his mind, and stopped his wild thoughts.
He looked at the dial again.
This time, among the items that can be taken out in the simulated future, there is no big rooster that Su Wu has caught.
I don't know if it's because the big rooster is a living creature, or because even though he caught the big rooster, the simulator still doesn't judge the rooster as his property.
The items that can be taken out this time are all things that Su Wu carried with him before.
Wallet, mobile phone, gold and so on.
The simulator has an extremely harsh exchange rate for circulated gold, silver, currency and other items.
For example, to take out one gram of gold, you need three hundred simulation coins.
To take out three hundred-yuan bills, you also need three hundred simulation coins.
At this stage, the value of three hundred simulation coins far exceeds three hundred yuan, and even Su Wu cannot exchange them for thirty thousand yuan.
In addition to these circulated currencies, the simulator has a relatively loose exchange rate for other items.
But Su Wu doesn't need those things now, so he skipped this option.
The batch of candles that Su Wu bought outside has been used up. The last time he rushed to the girl and took away her pet.
Next time, he can't do it so recklessly. At least he has to save the girl.
- If she dies, the big rooster will most likely die soon.
Therefore, Su Wu decided to take a break tonight and wait until he buys candles tomorrow to start the simulation again.
After so many simulations in a row, his mental pressure is also very great, and he needs to relieve it through rest.
…
On the 14th, the weather was fine.
The yellow water stains on the wall continued to deepen, and the mold continued to thicken and began to spread throughout the room.
Su Wu's room was filled with boxes of candles.
Each box of candles was 40 centimeters long, almost as thick as a glass cup.
He sat in front of the already very messy desk, carefully observing the map of Mingzhou City, and occasionally picked up a pen to draw paths on the map.
After a long time, Su Wu put the map into his backpack, and thought: "Start the simulation!"
"Welcome to the perfect life simulator!"
"Your wallet balance is 816 yuan jade, and the personal life simulation consumes 1 yuan jade."
"Do you want to consume yuan jade and bring real items into the simulation game?"
"Yes." Su Wu chose to bring the Emperor Bell and a box of candles into the simulation.
It takes one yuan jade to bring a candle into the simulation.
And bringing a box of candles into it requires five yuan jades-a box has twenty candles.
All ready.
Darkness suddenly covered.
When Su Wu came to his senses, he was already in the small temple.
The flame on the lampstand burned silently, and it seemed that it could keep bright without fuel.
Or perhaps fuel was something Su Wu could not see.
Being in the temple, a sense of security arose in Su Wu's heart, but he had no time to enjoy this stability. First, he took out the candles that were specially tied with tape in the box, picked up the mobile phone on the ground and checked the time.
It was 10:43 at night.
There were still twelve minutes to the critical moment of 10:55.
Below the time displayed on the screen, there were messages inviting people to join the work group.
Su Wu ignored those weird invitation messages and put his mobile phone in his pocket.
Then he lit a candle in his hand, carried the bundle of 19 spare candles on his back, hung the emperor bell around his neck, and ran out of the small temple when the neon lights were shining.
The emperor bell had no effect on the "eye ghost".
Although he started the simulation from the small temple in the archive, the shadow ghost was isolated from the influence range of the eye ghost and could not appear here.
But Su Wu insisted on spending a Yuanyu to bring the Emperor Bell into the game. He had to guard not only the shadow ghost, but also other ghosts that might roam in Mingzhou City.
For example, the work group ghost that might appear at any time.
On the premise of ensuring that the candle would not be blown out, Su Wu rushed to the car as fast as possible, opened the door, pulled out the headless corpse, squatted down the candle, turned the car key, and started the car in one go.
The car started smoothly and gradually accelerated.
The engine roared, and the scene on both sides of the vehicle turned into colorful light bands.
Old driver (green): You are proficient in various ground transportation vehicles with steering functions, can pass various dangerous road conditions skillfully, and fully exert the performance of the vehicle.
Su Wu used the last green talent upgrade spell on the old driver talent.
It has to be said that the gap between white talent and green talent is visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, no matter it was a car, armored vehicle, bicycle, electric car, or even livestock such as cattle and horses, as long as they had the ability to turn and were ground vehicles, Su Wu could control them perfectly!
The car was speeding on the road.
At 10:40, Su Wu had already driven past the intersection where RT-Mart was located.
At this time, the neon lights are still shining, and the signs of the eye's appearance have not yet appeared.
Su Wu saw a figure holding a big cock and walking with her head down on the side of the street. She turned the steering wheel slightly and parked the car directly in front of the girl.
He pushed open the car door, holding a swaying red candle, and shouted to the girl: "It's dangerous here, why are you running around alone on the street?
Aren't you afraid of being plucked off your head by a lantern from the sky? ! "
As Su Wu spoke, the neon lights and lights around the street suddenly dimmed. In the darkness, only the lampposts shining straight from the cars and the candle in his hand could bring people a sense of security.
The girl was startled by the car that suddenly jumped out in front of her.
Under the light, she couldn't see clearly Su Wu sitting in the car, but she could hear the concern in his words. Her eyes were red and she was about to speak.
Su Wu said again: "Get to the car quickly. By the time the lantern rises, it will be too late!"
His words contained important information and gave the girl a strong hint.
Let the girl believe that red lanterns rising in the sky is a terrible thing. The reason why Mingzhou City is like this is precisely because of those red lanterns!
This is also true.
However, Su Wu didn't have time to explain to the girl at the moment. His words were completely in a strong commanding tone. This tone would make people who were confused at the moment subconsciously choose to rely on him.
An electronic voice sounded vaguely at this time: "You have realized the temporary talent: the art of speaking (white)."
“The Art of Speaking (White): Your words are easier to convince.
If the person you are talking to is your enemy, your words will make it easier for the enemy to become angry and even lose their mind under the constant stimulation of words. "
