I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 224 The Third Companion (56)

Three hours later.

[A streamer from Fairyland tipped Qingyu 300 yuan, adding the comment: "Streamer, do you even know how to play?! I told you to lock onto Zhang Ai's actions first!"]

"If you're so good, then you do it!" Miao Qingyu roared in dissatisfaction. "Do you even know what the butterfly effect is? Do you know how much effort I put into perfecting Zhang Ai's actions?"

[A user from the Fairy Realm tipped the streamer Qingyu 300 yuan, adding the comment: "You call that perfect? ​​I could bring a dog and it would be better than you! Forgive my bluntness, but your Hehuan Sect is good for nothing except for your face and voice!"]

"You little brat, come here and do something! Go and beat him up through the internet cable!"

[Stop arguing. We've only found three pieces of evidence in three hours. You only have one hour left to play.]

Who said this dream world can be completed in four hours?

I think it's simply that the streamer is too stupid. If I were in their shoes... I probably wouldn't be able to do it either.

Why haven't I unlocked the third character yet?

[Hey, you player who claimed to be really good at solving puzzles, come and solve this one!]

Let the hundreds of viewers in the live stream continue arguing. Miao Qingyu stared at the screen with red eyes, gritting her teeth and fighting against this dream.

I have to say, this dream is cursed.

This was the first time she had ever discovered that the dream game could be this difficult, requiring her to constantly calculate every move she made.

But at the same time, she also discovered for the first time that a dream puzzle game could actually create a sense of growth.

The key event locking feature allows her to continuously adjust the behavior of another character based on subsequent developments, and then she can join forces with her past self through alternate timelines to obtain information.

Although failure means certain death, each attempt yields new intelligence, which can then be used to adjust actions along each line of action, thereby gaining even more information.

She prefers to call this dream-based puzzle game a growth-oriented puzzle game.

Not only her, but others were also deeply involved, working with Miao Qingyu to figure out how to perfectly obtain all the evidence and then escape victoriously.

After dying once again, Miao Qingyu looked at the time and realized that there were only four hours left until the deadline.

"I can't take it anymore, I have to leave! I'm dropping out of school in four hours!"

Please, Qingyu, you can't leave now!

"I've already told you the game's name: 'Out of Control,' by an anonymous author. You can play it on the Dreamland platform! I need to figure out how to gain more followers!"

I've finally made it this far, and I don't want to watch others play anymore! I just want to know the ending so I can play it myself.

[Me too! So close! We'll do anything if you play to the end! It's just a close call, right? I'll film it for you! White mushroom, black mushroom, pink mushroom, I'll jump on them all!]

"It's not a question of whether I should jump or not, it's that I need followers! I need 80,000 followers, but I only have 130,000 right now!"

【Then we'll deduct 50,000 for you! Unfollow, I'll unfollow right now! Brothers, let's unfollow together and help Qingyu get her followers to 80,000!】

"...Don't you want to see what you're saying?" Xiao Mei, sitting behind Miao Qingyu after finishing her makeup, said helplessly.

Miao Qingyu glanced at her followers, then compared them to her requirements, and said, puzzled, "No problem, thirteen minus eight equals five. As long as fifty thousand followers unfollow me, I can stay... Wait, don't unfollow! I was wrong!"

Seeing Miao Qingyu hurriedly telling people not to unfollow, Xiao Mei thought that the other party must have gone crazy from playing with the dream world.

Although she was a bit silly to begin with, this dream was indeed interesting. She watched it from behind for a long time, constantly summarizing various solutions in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more ingenious it seemed.

The entire dream world is like an exquisite clock, and what players need to do is to constantly repair this clock so that it can eventually run smoothly.

If she didn't have class later, she would have liked to play.

Moreover, this dream is too difficult, but if the third line is solved and the hidden third person appears, then it should be easier.

After thinking for a while, Xiaomei said, "Qingyu, I think you should find the third person first. I feel that the other party is probably like that Foundation Establishment cultivator, keeping an eye on you."

"Then why doesn't it appear?"

"They might be testing you. Perhaps if you just reveal the other person's name and leave information that you know who they are, they should be able to come out and meet you."

Knowing that she had enough fans and didn't need to drop out of school, Miao Qingyu felt relieved.

While the fans in the live stream were discussing the clues, she picked up her notebook and began to carefully review the clues inside.

In just a few hours of live streaming, she had already met everyone, even the Foundation Establishment expert.

That guy is always smiling, he always has a smile on his face, who would have thought he could be so ruthless when it comes to killing?

Moreover, for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to disguise himself as a toilet cleaner in his daily life, you really have no airs at all.

You deserve to be a foundation cultivator!
Even the usually quiet and cool Shen Jingranliang, who had been lying in bed, got up and said, "Maybe it's not even human."

"...You're watching it too!"

"I've been watching since Qingyu's live stream. At first, I was too lazy to close my eyes, but then I found it quite interesting. Don't keep thinking about people, maybe the third one is a ghost."

Yin Xiaogui nodded vigorously in agreement.

Miao Qingyu stared at her notes for a long time, and suddenly felt that it made sense!
She can't leave the building now, so she questioned everyone carefully, but got nothing out of them.

If that's the case, then the possibility that the other party is not human is very high.

Maybe the other party is a cultivator who is proficient in the art of transformation, just like themselves, and is now hiding in a plant toilet or something, spying on them.

Once Miao Qingyu confirmed that Zhang Aixian had locked onto the Foundation Establishment cultivator and that the other party's actions would give her an hour of free time, she immediately returned to her office and began typing on her spiritual brain.

The old-fashioned Lingnao still uses an operating system from decades ago, which is not only cumbersome to use, but also requires selecting words one by one.

A few minutes later, she typed a line on her mind: "Don't worry about being monitored; my partner has already transferred the other party. We are currently investigating the Committee and Ant Power Company's crimes. If you're willing to help me, could you give me some hints?"

After the fight was over, Miao Qingyu waited for a long time.

Just when she thought her reasoning was wrong, she saw the keyboard start moving on its own and a sentence appeared: "Okay".

Then, she saw the keyboard button be pushed open, and a tiny Thumbelina crawled out from the gap in the keyboard and stood timidly in front of Miao Qingyu.

At that moment, a large number of comments appeared in Miao Qingyu's live stream, and the surge in fans was like a cheer of victory, making Miao Qingyu scream.

Become!

A third companion has appeared!
