Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Chapter 515 What is blackmail? This is called protection money (5K big chapter, please subscribe, please vote)

Although the three Chinese national football team brothers could still hold on, they still needed Lin Yi to cast a healing spell every few seconds to stabilize their health.

Their health points are around 1500 points. Since they have not passed the test of the poisonous dragon meat and lack high-level damage reduction skills, they need to withstand about 500 points of damage per second.

Lin Yi's life chain can restore 350 health points to the three of them in one second, which means that each of them only loses 150 health points per second.

This speed of health loss was still within an acceptable range for the three national football brothers, so they quickly cleared out the poisonous dragon meat on the plate after Lin Yi.

Afterwards, the wolf steward came forward and motioned Su Xiao, the three national football brothers and the gloomy man to follow him to the next location.

The five of them walked towards the door that Alice came from. Lin Yi vaguely saw the outline of a staircase through the crack in the door. It seemed that it was the passage leading to the third floor.

Lin Yi had asked Sha before how many floors the castle had. Sha's answer was a bit vague. She only said, "For gamers, the castle has five floors in total."

Wolf Butler also revealed an important piece of information: the first three games follow fixed rules and players cannot move freely in these levels.

The first game known to date is Revolver of Destiny, the second game is Gourmet Heaven, and the content of the third game remains a mystery.

Regarding the fourth and fifth floors of the castle, Lin Yi speculated that the degree of freedom of the game on these two floors should be higher, allowing players to have more strategies and choices.

And passing the five levels of the game will be the ultimate goal of clearing the level. At that time, the player will be able to return to the reincarnation paradise and obtain the "proof of strength".

"Ladies and gentlemen, why are you not touching your knives and forks yet? Is the food not to your taste?" This question made the atmosphere in the room a little subtle.

So far, six people have successfully passed the game, and the number of people who failed has become a minority.

"bid."

Pi Pang looked embarrassed. He just tried to take a sip of red wine and then he felt numb.

The healing ban and double vulnerability meant that his life could be in danger if he ate just a small bite of poisonous dragon meat.

"5 Soul Crystals (large)." Lin Yi offered his price.

"Are you robbing me?"

After Lin Yi finished quoting the price, not only was Fatty shocked, but even the little detective Loli couldn't help but look at him.

This price is indeed ridiculously high, which makes people wonder if Lin Yi is taking the opportunity to blackmail them.

For the third-level contractors present, Soul Crystal (Large) is a very rare resource.

Many people have never even seen a few soul crystals (medium), let alone soul crystals (large).

Therefore, the price Lin Yi offered was undoubtedly an exorbitant price.

"I'm here to participate in the game, not to do charity." Lin Yi's attitude was very clear, he would not provide help for free.

The detective bit her lip and asked helplessly, "I don't have a soul crystal (large), can I use something else instead?"

She secretly regretted in her heart that she should not have followed Walsh if she had known earlier. Now not only did she not get any benefits, but she also got into a lot of trouble.

If she had chosen to join Lin Yi's team, perhaps she wouldn't have had so many worries.

Lin Yi thought about it for a while, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, take the things out for me to see."

The little detective took out an ordinary stone from her personal space. When she took out the stone, a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes.

Clearly, this stone is very important to her.

"You will definitely be satisfied with this thing."

After saying that, the little detective put the things on the table and pushed them towards Lin Yi.

【Star Stone】

Introduction: It is said that the Lucky Star Stone was made by an ancient star wizard. He condensed the power of the stars in the sky into this stone, hoping to bring good luck and blessings to the world through it.

……

I have to say that the thing that the little detective took out was indeed a good thing. Not to mention Lin Yi, even Alice next to him showed great interest in it.

Star stones are extremely rare. Although the star stone in the hands of the little detective girl is of lower quality, it is enough for people below level six.

"make a deal."

After Lin Yi picked up the [Star Stone] from the table, he signaled to the little detective that she could drink.

The little detective took a sip of red wine cautiously, then glanced at Lin Yi.

She was still a little worried, fearing that Lin Yi would break his promise after taking the things, so she did not eat the poisonous dragon meat immediately.

Lin Yi is not the kind of person who goes back on his word. Since he has taken the star stone from the little detective Loli, Lin Yi will naturally help the little detective Loli overcome the difficulties.

With a flash of purification light, the vulnerable state of the little detective girl was successfully removed, which made her feel greatly relieved.

Then, the chain of life was successfully linked to the little detective Loli, providing her with continuous health recovery.

After hearing the reminder sound of the Reincarnation Paradise, the little detective Loli finally felt at ease and ate the poisonous dragon meat in her mouth bite by bite.

Although the little detective Loli has her own way to deal with this game, the [Substitute Doll] is too expensive for her.

There are still several games to come, and she doesn't want to use up such an important trump card here.

At this moment, only Catwoman, Pippen and the man with gold-rimmed glasses, Walsh, had not picked up their knives and forks yet. The wolf butler's gaze became more and more unfriendly.

It can be seen that once the 20-minute limit is reached, it will definitely not be a good outcome for those who are waiting.

Pi Pang felt the pressure. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and put forward his own conditions: "I will take out 5% of my game property rights in exchange."

This condition may sound a bit confusing, but don’t underestimate the 5% that Pipan mentioned.

Pi Pang has been noticed by several giant game companies in the void, and his game property rights are of extremely high value.

After every few world progresses, Pi Pang will receive a huge amount of Paradise Coins.

Therefore, he is willing to exchange 5% of the game rights, which is undoubtedly a considerable bargaining chip.

【Temporary Contact Channel】

Doctor: "What's the situation with this guy? Does anyone know?"

The second player of the national football team: "I know a little bit."

Afterwards, the second player of the Chinese national football team sent a long message, all about Pi Pang.

After seeing a familiar name appear in the game made by Pipan, Lin Yi's eyes turned cold.

Lin Yi finally found the culprit who started the game that made him so miserable.

"So you were the one who made the escape game. I finally caught you."

When Pi Pang heard Lin Yi's words, his body couldn't help but tremble, and huge beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

That game was originally a puzzle game that Pipan made casually when he was in a bad mood.

In order to disgust people, he set up all kinds of insidious and vicious tricks in the game, such as invisible monsters, mechanism killings, treasure chest monsters, etc.

Only Lin Yi couldn't think of it, and there was nothing that Pi Pang dared not do.

Pi Pang didn't expect to meet his gaming audience here.

"Owner."

Seeing Lin Yi flexing his fists and walking towards Fatty, Butler Wolf leaned over slightly and whispered to Alice's ear, indicating whether to stop Lin Yi's behavior.

Alice smiled and shook her head. "No need. This game is much more interesting than the previous one."

There was a glimmer of anticipation in her eyes, as if she had foreseen what was to come.

"Go and get my treasured Khalkha holy wine." Alice continued to order.

"Yes." Butler Wolf replied respectfully, then turned and headed towards the wine room.

Alice's orders were unquestionable, and he only had to execute them.

Lin Yi walked up to Pi Pang and beat him up.

However, Lin Yi did not use his full strength. He just wanted to vent the pent-up resentment in his heart because of that annoying game.

After beating up Pi Pang, Lin Yi felt refreshed, finally getting rid of all the negative emotions brought about by that crappy game.

"Okay, let's sign the contract."

After hearing Lin Yi's words, Pi Pang patted the dust off his body and stood up from the ground.

Pi Pang's ability itself gives him extremely high defense, and Lin Yi didn't really use all his strength, so after the beating, Pi Pang had basically no problems except for some bruises on his skin.

After signing the contract, Lin Yi used purification magic to clear Pi Pang's vulnerable state and put a chain of life on him.

A minute later, Pi Pang also successfully completed the game, although he paid a heavy price for it.

As Wolf Butler took away Pi Pang and Detective Loli one after another, the atmosphere on the field became increasingly tense.

Alice's impatient look added a layer of pressure to the game.

"Then, you two are the only ones left."

This game has indeed dragged on for a long time. Normally, we would have already entered the third game.

"no solution anymore."

Catwoman's face looked a little bitter. She didn't have as many precious items as the little detective loli, let alone props to save her life.

Walsh, the man with gold-rimmed glasses, is not in a much better situation. He and Lin Yi already dislike each other. Even if Lin Yi takes out precious props, he may not be able to save him. It seems that he can only rely on himself.

Catwoman hesitated for a moment, then began to manipulate the organs inside her body to move.

"One minute left."

Butler Wolf stared at the two of them. The consequences of the timeout were imaginable, so the two of them looked even uglier.

"It seems... there is no other way."

Catwoman took a deep breath, grabbed the poisonous dragon meat on the table and swallowed it whole, even stuffing the dessert beside it into her mouth.

Catwoman is gambling, gambling on her precise control over her own digestive ability.

In her stomach, the piece of poisonous dragon meat was protected by a layer of white silk net. It was her last hope.

In the end, Catwoman won the bet. When she finished the game, the effect of 'Bloody Agate' disappeared. When her health was only 7%, Catwoman, who was on the verge of death, used the recovery potion. Catwoman passed the danger, and the man with gold-rimmed glasses smiled bitterly.

"Butler Wolf, I will use that authority."

The power of the charm expert was reflected at this moment. As soon as the man with gold-rimmed glasses finished speaking, the wolf butler walked forward and took away the remaining large piece of poisonous dragon meat and dessert.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses sighed and walked towards the third floor.

His personal favorability with Wolf Butler was cleared, which meant that all his previous efforts to build up this favorability had been in vain.

In the past three days, he has been helping Wolf Butler without gaining any benefits, just in exchange for these favors.

"Surprisingly, all of them passed."

Alice picked up the napkin and dabbed at her mouth.

Wolf Butler walked up to Catwoman and Wash and motioned for them to follow him.

The two looked at each other and followed Wolf Butler silently.

Lin Yi also stood up, ready to follow Alice to the venue for the third game.

Unexpectedly, Alice suddenly stood in front of Lin Yi.

"My brave hero, the third game is about to begin. Follow me."

Alice threw down her napkin and looked at Lin Yi with a smile in her eyes.

"So fast?"

"Of course, the third game is an after-dinner activity. Also, you haven't had a good rest in the past few days, so the third game is for you to 'rest'."

"Brave man, are you willing to support this lady who is a little tipsy?" There was a hint of teasing in her words.

Alice's cheeks were slightly flushed, her eyes revealed a hazy beauty, and her whole body exuded an indescribable attraction.

"Of course." Lin Yi replied, but he was extremely alert in his heart.

Lin Yi stretched out his arm cautiously, and Alice responded with a charming smile. Her right hand tightly wrapped around his left arm, as if they were a pair of inseparable lovers.

"Mr. Lin, remember not to close the door tonight." Alice whispered softly in Lin Yi's ear.

Then, Butler Wolf stepped forward and respectfully opened the heavy metal door in front of them for the two of them.

Behind the door is another world.

The moment he stepped through the metal door, Lin Yi felt a strange change, as if he had crossed the barrier of time and space.

It’s so close yet so far away.

The third floor is somewhat like a residential building, covering an area of ​​several hundred square meters, with spacious and comfortable space.

As you step onto the third floor, the first thing that catches your eye is a spacious large living room, whose decoration style exudes a retro charm.

Two rows of crescent-shaped leather sofas are placed opposite each other, vaguely forming an elegant circle, inviting people to sit around and chat.

In the center of the sofa, a low square stone table was quietly placed, on which stood an exquisite small sculpture - it was a sculpture of Alice.

There were some fruit plates placed next to the sculpture. The fruits inside were of strange shapes, at least Lin Yi had never seen them before.

There are more than a dozen oil paintings hanging on the walls of the living room. The oil paintings are very abstract, like children's graffiti.

On the north side of the living room, a wooden staircase winds upward. It does not lead to the fourth floor, but connects to a spacious platform.

Inside the terrace, there were ten rooms neatly arranged, and each door was tightly closed.

Each door is labeled from 1 to 10, which is simple and clear.

The layout and structure of the entire three floors reminded Lin Yi of a retro high-end apartment.

After Lin Yi entered the third floor, he found Su Xiao, Pi Pang, the three national football brothers, the little detective Lolita, and Catwoman were already sitting on the sofa waiting.

"It looks like everyone is here." Alice said with a smile, her voice echoing in the spacious living room. "Compared to the previous two games, this one will be much easier. Maybe everyone just needs to get some sleep and the game will be over."

"Before everyone goes to rest, let's draw the room numbers first." Alice said, taking out ten cards from her pocket.

There is a number printed on one side of each card, from 1 to 10, which corresponds exactly to the ten closed doors.

Alice sat on the crescent-shaped sofa and spread the cards on the stone table in front of her. The surface of the stone table was bright and dark, and it should have been carved out of obsidian.

"I forgot to tell you all." Alice added with a smile, "The rooms with earlier numbers have better facilities."

She made a gesture of invitation, indicating that everyone could start drawing cards.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses was the first to step forward and draw a card.

Pi Pang and others followed suit and drew numbers.

Lin Yi was not in a hurry. He was still thinking about what Alice had just said to him at the stairs.

It goes without saying that Alice will definitely come to see him tonight, but he doesn't know whether it will be a good thing or a bad thing this time.

Seeing Lin Yi's hesitant expression, Alice blinked, then smiled and handed the card in her hand to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi casually pulled out the card and turned it over.

A striking number "1" appeared on the paper, attracting everyone's attention.

The little detective's eyes were full of envy. She clearly remembered Alice's previous introduction that the closer the room was to the front, the more complete the facilities were, which meant it was more luxurious and comfortable.

There was no joy on Lin Yi's face. Just now when Lin Yi was drawing the lottery, he could sense that the cards in his hand had been replaced by some force.

He glanced at Alice and saw that she was looking at him with a half-smile.

Lin Yi knew in his heart that all this was arranged by Alice.

She deliberately drew room number 1.

Perhaps Su Xiao had a burst of luck this time, as he actually drew number 2, which was right next to Lin Yi.

No one deliberately concealed the results of the card draw. When entering the room, their respective drawn numbers would be exposed, so there was no point in concealing them.

Soon, the card drawing was over and the results were as follows:

Lin Yi's room 1.

Su Xiao's room 2.

Room No. 3 of Pippa.

Detective Lolita Room 4.

Room No. 5 of the national football team boss.

Gloomy Man Room 6.

Room No. 7 of the second national football team.

Room No. 8 of the third player of the national football team.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses is in room 9.

Catwoman Room 10.

……

"How about...we switch?"

The national football team boss took the card and wanted to exchange rooms with the gloomy man.

The gloomy man also knew the situation of the three brothers of the national football team. He thought about it and nodded, then exchanged room numbers with the leader of the national football team.

"Everyone, go to your rooms and rest."

Alice didn't have a room, so she just sat in the living room. Soon, ten people entered their rooms.

Lin Yi pushed open the wooden door in front of him, and an extremely luxurious guest room appeared before him.

Inside the room, the walls are made of top-grade Italian golden marble, and its naturally formed texture shines with a charming luster under the light.

Exquisite golden wallpaper and gorgeous decorative lines are intertwined to form a luxurious picture.

The ceiling is inlaid with a dazzling chandelier made up of hundreds of Swarovski crystals, as dazzling as the starry sky.

A huge European-style bed is placed in the center of the guest room, with the headboard carved with intricate patterns. Every detail reveals the ingenious sense of design.

The mattress is soft and comfortable, covered with fine silk sheets and pillow cases that feel delicate and light as clouds.

In addition, there are some exquisite decorations in the room, reflecting the owner's taste and style.

"Room 1? It really lives up to its reputation."

Lin Yi lost interest in the decoration of the room after taking a look at it.

In the real world, Lin Yi has lived in places that are more luxurious than this room, so Lin Yi naturally would not be dazzled by the decoration in front of him.

Lin Yi looked back at the wooden door and found that in addition to an ordinary door lock, the door was also equipped with a lot of security devices similar to combination locks.

Lin Yi locked them one by one to ensure the safety of the room.

Then Lin Yi lay on the bed and began to ponder what Alice had said before.

According to Alice, she will come to Lin Yi's room tonight.

Just as Lin Yi was lost in thought, he accidentally looked up at the ceiling.

Suddenly, he found lines of small words densely covering the entire ceiling.

The words come in a variety of colors, some are written with carbon pens, some are deeply engraved, and some are even graffitied in blood, which makes them look particularly weird and shocking.

'Alice is left-handed.'

'Alice hates musky scents. '

"Alice is a gentle woman. To be exact, she is not evil, but she has no concept of good and evil at all."

"Locking the door, although it doesn't mean much, at least it can bring some comfort to the soul."

'These rooms are not soundproof, you can try to stick to the wall and listen to the movements in other rooms.'

'Common creatures are also untrustworthy, but servants or higher-level servants can be trusted.'

'Don't enter someone else's room before exchanging room cards. Never.'
