I have a long time crush.
No repetition of chapters, continue reading.
"Keep track of the time. If I don't see a golden gopher when I come back in seven days, you're my dinner!"
Granny Wolf dropped her words viciously, took the little Yang San, put on her bowler hat, and slammed the door with her buttocks twisted. Her violent slamming of the door made the whole hut tremble, Tang Mo picked up the pink altar that he had just put on the dining table, and coldly watched her leave. He ran to the window, making sure that Granny Wolf had followed the trail down the mountain, before walking over to the couch and sitting down.
He puts the pink altar on the coffee table, and turns to the pink altar next to the couch.
"Day one, it's now twelve-thirty. Again, if it's 24 hours for a day, then according to the time I entered the copy, it should be December 1st now." Tang Mo looks down the opening of the pink altar, and sees nothing.
After Granny Wolf leaves, Tang Mo can't watch out for her, and he begins to think carefully about the game.
The Black Tower describes the eight rules of the game very carefully, and if you really follow the rules of the game, assuming that for each of the seven days, you put food in a certain hole, and stand in it at the same time, the probability of Tang Mo catching a golden gopher after seven days is 0.999808.
"I couldn't be more unlucky ......"
Tang Mo said so on his lips, but his expression was not relaxed at all. He didn't believe that the tower attack game on the first floor of the Black Tower would be so simple, there was no need to fight with monsters or do too much guessing and reasoning, he could pass the level by catching a gopher by luck, and the probability of success was as high as 0.99. He was not convinced that the Black Tower's attack game would be so simple.
How it looks like a trap.
Tang Mo touches the altar, "Does it have anything to do with the fact that the probability of a golden gopher appearing on the first day is only 40% ......"
The altar certainly couldn't give him an answer.
Tang Mo decides to trade the altar first for the food he will give the gopher next. The first thing that came to his mind was the underground human hair that Granny Wolf had left in the crack of the sofa. He took it out, pulled out a strand and threw it into the altar. There was no reaction from the altar. Tang Mo thought for a moment and threw the whole mass of hair in.
A minute later, the pink altar suddenly flashed with colorful light. Tang Mo stared at it carefully, and the light flashed for three whole minutes. The light disappeared and the altar became completely black. Tang Mo frowned and was about to see what was going on when a foul odor came up from the mouth of the altar.
Bang!
A pile of black stuff hit Tang Mo's leg, and the stench that came from it made Tang Mo almost pass out. He took a while before picking up the object that had been thrown into his lap.
"...... Looks like a roasted groundhog?"
A line of small letters showed up on the pink altar-
[Pile of long-rotted subterranean human hair, ah shucks!]
Tang Mo: "......"
Since the clump of hair couldn't be traded for real gopher food, Tang Mo stood up and looked around Granny Wolf's house for a while. He walks over to the fireplace and looks up at the gopher head hanging on the wall. Tang Mo cuts a clump of hair from the gopher head with his knife and throws it into the altar.
This time the altar also shimmered strangely, before finally turning black again and throwing out a slightly less smelly black mass.
[Pile of rotting subterranean human hair, ah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah!
Tang Mo: "......"
These are the only two things in Granny Wolf's hut that belong to an Underlander. Tang Mo himself is not an underground man, he's a player. His things wouldn't turn into food if he put them in the altar. He mulls it over for a moment, takes a ruby out of his pocket, raises it high above his head, and puts Mario's hat on it.
With the previous two piles of foul-smelling groundhogs, Tang Mo had gotten used to the stench of Mario's hat. He slammed straight into the fireplace, and as his head hit the wall, a dirty, smelly boot fell out of the air and landed on the floor.
Tang Mo rubbed her head, picked up the boot and threw it into the altar. But in a moment, a golden groundnut flew out of the altar and smashed into Tang Mo's leg.
[A weaver's boots with foot odor]
Finally, you can trade for food.
Mario's hat can be used three times a day, and Tang Mo has already used it once. He ponders for a long time and thumps it against the wall twice more before he can take it off. The first time a flimsy advertising flyer falls off, the second an old pocket watch.
Tang Mo first picks up the advertisement paper and reads out the words on it, "A Night at the Wacky Circus, Three Rare Treasures that Shocked the Underground Man Wang Guo, A World of Oddities You've Never Seen Before, The Great Circus Ringmasters and Members Await Your Arrival ...... "
"Circus." Tang Mo pronounced those three words again. He remembered the big disgustingly cute earthworm.
It seems that this circus is a bit like the one in the "Kill Bill" replica, and it's probably the same one.
Putting the matter behind him, Tang Mo picked up the watch. The moment his hand touched the watch, a line of words appeared on the watch. Tang Mo's movements were stuttered as he quickly picked up the watch and looked at the words on it.
[Props: Transparent Man's Pocket Watch]
[Owner: Tang Mo]
[Quality: excellent]
[Level: I]
[Attack power: none]
[Function: Open the pocket watch and you can be invisible for five minutes.]
[Restrictions: Disposable items, cannot be taken out of the game.]
[Remarks: stealth play eh heh heh heh heh ......]
Tang Mo: "......"
Ignore the memo, he still has that luck?
Tang Mo looked the watch back and forth in surprise several times, his eyes pausing at the words "not to be taken out of the game" before he finally put the watch in his pocket.
With only an hour left before six o'clock, Tang Mo decides to come back in the evening to study the pocket watch.
Before he left, Tang Mo scrutinized Granny Wolf's house and found nothing special. Finally he took a plate from the dining table, put the groundnut on it, and walked towards the back of the mountain with the plate in his hand.
Walking up to the nine giant gopher holes, Tang Mo puts the gophers on the ground and stands outside the holes herself, examining each one from the first opening.
There were nine holes in total. The holes were about three meters in diameter, and there were traces of claws digging into the ground near each hole, as well as some scattered golden and black hairs. Presumably, they were the hairs of the golden gopher and the black gopher.
After checking each cave entrance, Tang Mo walked over to a large rock. He looks at the nine holes, thinks for a moment, and finally decides to walk over to the sixth hole. It was still an hour before six o'clock, and Tang Mo, holding his groundhog, looked into the darkness of the gopher's burrow. He watched silently, as if trying to see something in it.
The minutes ticked by, and there was only half an hour left before six o'clock sharp.
Tang Mo lifted his wrist and glanced at his watch as he decided to place the groundhog in front of the sixth hole, then ran and hid behind the boulder to see what would happen.
The probability of a golden gopher appearing on the first day is at most 40%. This probability did not seem too low, but Tang Mo did not dare to test his luck. He had always been unlucky, and now he didn't know how high the force value of the golden-haired gopher and black-haired gopher was, so Tang Mo didn't dare to guarantee his own safety if he went into the cave and ran into a black-haired gopher that liked to eat the people in the ground.
Still need more info.
He lifted his wrist to look at his watch again, twenty minutes left.
"Why ...... only the first day is special." While he waited, Tang Mo, holding his groundhog, kept thinking. He looked at the ground in the sixth hole, and after a moment, he took the old pocket watch out of his pocket and stared down at it.
"May not be taken out of the game. If you run into a black-furred gopher tomorrow, it would be a little safer to use this to try and wrestle with it."
He took the pocket watch back into his pocket.
After five minutes, Tang Mo took out the pocket watch of the Transparent Man. He looked steadily at the pocket watch for a long while, and then he took out the big match from his wrist, and at the same time he took out the white Huo Ji egg and drew an S on it.
Tang Mo drew the S very casually and not too carefully, but when he finished the S, he realized that there was no movement on the Huo Ji egg. The "S" character did not light up, let alone connect to Fu Wenduo.
Tang Mo's heart tightened as he sensed a hint of something wrong. He cracked the Huo Ji egg three times, and before he could say anything, he heard a surprised, low voice ring out, "Tang Mo?"
Tang Mo had never met Fu Wenduo, the stowaway, but the two had spoken on the phone several times, and even two days earlier, when Tang Mo had informed Fu Wenduo that he was about to participate in a tower game, he had never heard the other man speak to him in such a surprised voice.
"...... Well, Mr. Fu, it's me. I was wondering if the Huo Ji egg is broken or something. I was just trying to use it to archive, but I found that I couldn't use it. Is there a problem at your place, or mine?"
Huo Ji egg side of the silence for a long time.
Tang Mo was feeling strange and was about to ask again when he heard Fu Wenduo say, "Three days ago, you contacted me and told me that you needed to use the archive function."
Tang Mo's body holding the groundnut froze in air. The next moment, he retorted, "No way! I never said that. Mr. Fu, are you mistaken, I didn't contact you three days ago, much less use Huo Ji eggs."
"You just said that it's impossible to use Huo Ji Eggs. That's because the seven-day cooldown hasn't expired."
Tang Mo was silenced for a moment.
He stood between the valleys, and the cold mountain wind whistled over the long pink river and poured into his collar. Tang Mo suddenly felt some coldness in the soles of his feet, and he held back the feeling of numbness in his scalp and tried to calm himself, "Then can you please tell me, Mr. Fu, what did ...... I say to you three days ago?"
However Fu Wenduo did not answer his words at first, but asked in a very serious voice, "Tang Mo, do you know what day it is?"
Tang Mo froze, "December 1st."
"Today is December 6th."
Tang Mo's eyes widened as an aura flashed through his mind, suddenly dissipating before he could catch it.
"Three days ago, on December 3rd, I was searching for supplies at a store when you contacted me and told me that you needed to use the archiver." In the cold wind, Fu Wenduo's steady voice seemed to have the power to soothe the heart, and Tang Mo quietly listened to him, "What you said was that you were afraid that there was a timing loophole in the tower attack game you were playing. Because of a copy you once cleared before, this tower attack game might end early, and you don't want to waste every day, so you plan to use the archiver and take a chance."
Tang Mo listened to the voice and analyzed, "The copy I once cleared would be 'Kill Bill '. In that copy, I released one of the circus master's treasures, and he now only has two treasures left. Today I got an advertisement sheet for a circus that Granny Wolf is going to see that might be the circus I once experienced. Maybe she'll come back early because I let one of the babies go."
Fu Wenduo: "Cirque du Freak?"
Tang Mo was surprised, "You know?"
"When Wang Guo, the Underground Man, crossed the river to the Monster World, there was this circus billboard by the river saying that the headman had gotten three treasures." Fu Wenduo asked in a low voice, "Already calmed down and thought it through?"
Tang Mo shook his head, "No, just about a vague shadow. Mr. Fu, what else do you know?"
"I know that the you of three days ago said to me with certainty that this tower attack game would end early." After a pause, Fu Wenduo added, "Judging from your tone, I'd say you were at least ninety percent certain."
Tang Mo : "So Mr. Fu, do you know anything else?"
"No more."
Tang Mo froze.
Earth, Beijing.
Fu Wenduo stood on the roof of a skyscraper, and with a small step of his feet, his body lightly leapt out over twenty meters to the roof of another building. He held the Huo Ji Egg in his right hand and his voice was low, "On December 3rd, after I turned on the archiver, I listened to the sounds from your place. There was hardly any sound at your place, just a very light bit of breathing and wind. But as soon as six o'clock in the afternoon arrived, six o'clock sharp to be specific, all your sounds stopped. I thought you ...... "After a pause, Fu Wenduo jumped to another high building and continued, "I thought I had encountered a situation where even the archiver wasn't working, and I couldn't get through to you after that when I tried to contact you again. "
Tang Mo gripped Huo Ji's egg tightly and mentally added the words the other party had just left unfinished.
"I thought you were dead.
That's why Fu Wenduo was so surprised when he suddenly heard his voice.
"The one from three days ago, it was you."
Tang Mo's mind was a mess when Fu Wenduo suddenly spoke out, and he subconsciously asked, "Why?"
Fu Wenduo was about to leap to another tall building, but after hearing Tang Mo's words, he stopped and stood on the edge of the skyscraper's rooftop, looking at the setting sun in the west, which was gradually sinking below the ground.
"Intuition." The warm sunlight shone on that resolute and cold face, Fu Wenduo softly said, "That feeling, it's you."
It was a very strange statement, and Tang Mo had never believed in such a vague and insignificant thing as feeling. But listening to these words, his heart slowly settled down. He raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, there were still five minutes left until six o'clock, and he said, "Mr. Fu, you said before that once six o'clock exactly arrived, you would never hear my voice again, and you wouldn't be able to reach me again, or at least not be able to take the initiative to contact me, is that right?"
"Yes."
With only five minutes left, Tang Mo's mind raced, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and holding Huo Ji's egg, he said, "You said there was another me. But I now think that perhaps there are not just two of me now. Today is December 6th, and according to the rules of this tower attack game, I need to complete the game quest on December 7th, or else I will be eaten by the monsters in the game."
Tang Mo's tone was relaxed, but Fu Wenduo didn't say anything.
Tang Mo : "I only have one day left. How many of me there are in this game, I'm not sure. But I know that I only have one day left. Whether I can pass today or not, Mr. Fu, I hope that when I reach out to you tomorrow, you will ask me a question."
Fu Wenduo asks, "How do you know that tomorrow's you will reach out to me?"
"I have an idea."
Fu Wenduo did not ask for this approach. He raised an eyebrow and said, "What words."
Tang Mo watched the time on his watch tick away towards six o'clock, with only the last two minutes left. He said, "You asked that me - Tang Mo - which would be your lucky number if you had only one last day left."
Fu Wenduo had been standing at the edge of the rooftop where he had just been since he spoke to Tang Mo, and he glanced at the time on the clock tower in the distance. With one minute left until six o'clock, he said, "I'm a bit curious, what's your lucky number?"
"9."
Fu Wenduo: "Why?"
Tang Mo : "I have a longtime crush whose birthday is September 9th."
Fu Wenduo froze slightly and subconsciously asked, "September 9th?"
Tang Mo: "Yes, why?"
Knowing that the other party could not see, Fu Wenduo still reflexively shook his head, "Nothing, this day is very special." After a pause, Fu Wenduo added, "I'm on my way from Beijing to Shanghai, I have something I have to accomplish in Shanghai. Tang Mo, I hope to see you in Shanghai."
Tang Mo looked at Huo Ji egg, and then looked at the watch with the last minute left, and smiled, "Well, if I don t die ...... Fu Wenduo this time, I will see you in Shanghai."
"See you in Shanghai."
In the last ten seconds, Tang Mo hung up on Huo Ji Egg. He took out his alien book from the air and opened it to the last page.
