Blue Star Floor
When Lin Feng woke up, it was already ten in the morning. He got out of bed and simply washed up by the sink. The Infinite Pool hadn't refreshed any items last night.
At this time, Qin An also sent a message saying that he had returned to the Elevator.
However, his return was truly ill-timed, as they would be entering a new floor in less than two hours.
After eating the breakfast prepared by 101, Lin Feng boredly opened his computer and played some single-player games. Time quickly approached eleven-thirty.
"Beep, the floor the Host is about to enter is Blue Star. This floor lasts for three days. Seekers entering this floor need to kill three Seekers who are on vacation within three days to survive.
Otherwise, the Elevator level will be reduced to Level 1, and all Elevator supplies will be erased. The reward for completing the mission is: upgrade set * 2."
"Beep, note that this floor has a hidden mechanism. If you do not kill the Seekers on vacation, the punishment will turn into a reward: the Elevator level will be directly upgraded by one level."
"Beep, note that no items can be brought to this floor. Entry to this floor cannot be refused. There are a total of 100 Seekers entering this floor."
What?
After thinking carefully, Lin Feng understood.
Seekers entering this floor have two choices.
Choice one: hunt down the Seekers on vacation and ultimately receive a reward, but the penalty for failure is to reset the Elevator.
Hidden choice: do not hunt down the Seekers on vacation, and the punishment of resetting the Elevator turns into a reward. The reward is a direct upgrade of the Elevator by one level.
Normally, everyone would definitely choose this hidden option, but others don't know that there's such a path available.
After all, this was told to Lin Feng by the System.
However, after such a long time in Elevator World, would anyone truly sacrifice their own interests for the lives of others?
Although the punishment isn't death, resetting the Elevator is no ordinary severe punishment.
After so long in Elevator World, there might be very few kind people left.
Could it also be said that this is a test of humanity?
"Ding-dong! The Elevator is descending. Please hold on tight."
Just as Lin Feng was contemplating, the Elevator's broadcast sounded.
Then the Elevator slowly began to descend, and after the Elevator door opened, Lin Feng was pushed out by a force.
"Ding-dong, Seekers entering this floor, please complete the following mission: kill three Seekers who are on vacation. Reward: upgrade set * 2. Punishment for failure: reset Elevator level and all items. Time limit: three days. You can view target location navigation on your personal phone."
After the Elevator finished broadcasting, Lin Feng felt his hand sink as a phone appeared in it, his own phone.
After unlocking it, a new navigation software indeed appeared inside.
A purple apple icon, and on the apple, there seemed to be a creepy smiling face.
The navigation's name was: Death Navigation.
After opening it, there were many blue avatars and red avatars. According to the annotations next to them, Lin Feng learned that the blue avatars were the Seekers on vacation, and the red ones were the one hundred Seekers who had just entered the floor.
Furthermore, Lin Feng keenly noticed one point: these hunters could also kill each other.
The rewarded items were probably the supplies from the opponent's Elevator.
On the other side of the city, Qin An appeared at the subway station exit, holding his phone.
"Back again?"
He hadn't expected this floor's mission to be returning to Blue Star to hunt down Seekers on vacation.
Fortunately, he returned early, otherwise, he would have been at a disadvantage.
Meanwhile, the Seekers enjoying their vacation on Blue Star also received the mission broadcast from the Elevator.
Their mission was to evade the hunt. If they succeeded in evading, the reward was ten random potions. For each hunter they counter-killed, the reward was one hundred gold coins.
And a similar positioning system appeared on their phones.
It was like an incredibly absurd game, and even Lin Feng couldn't figure out why the Elevator broadcast was doing this.
Was it to filter out people who still possessed humanity?
Forget it, since he's already here, he might as well play around on Blue Star for a few days.
Lin Feng looked at his surroundings; it seemed to be a public restroom.
After leaving, Lin Feng casually hailed a car and went to the city center.
Along the way, Lin Feng constantly paid attention to the icons on the Death Navigation.
"Based on past experience, plus the Elevator broadcast's usual behavior, those Seekers who are prey might also have triggered a mission by now. Perhaps their mission is to counter-kill hunters."
Lin Feng thought to himself, sitting in the back seat of the taxi.
He hadn't even realized that his way of thinking had become more comprehensive now.
Before entering Elevator World, Lin Feng was just a clear-eyed university student, but now he resembled a hunter walking in the dark corners.
Just then, the taxi driver glanced in the rearview mirror and inadvertently caught Lin Feng's gaze, and his hand gripping the steering wheel immediately trembled.
Driver: Is this kid some kind of murderer?
"Master, how much longer until we arrive?"
"Ah, ah, soon, soon. This traffic light takes a while, we still have to wait two minutes."
The driver, who was secretly checking wanted criminal bounties, quickly switched the background back to navigation.
"Do you think I look like someone on there?"
"Ah, no, no, I, I was just looking for fun, just looking for fun."
The taxi driver quickly put his phone away, switched back to navigation, and looked straight ahead.
However, the slightly trembling foot on the clutch betrayed his inner thoughts.
Am I that scary, buddy?
Lin Feng scratched his head and sat back.
Just then, the green light turned on, and the driver launched the car with a single hand, speeding off.
He just wanted to get this passenger to his destination as quickly as possible now.
.........
After more than ten minutes, Lin Feng got out of the car at the entrance of the traffic police brigade.
Then he took out his phone and looked at the navigation.
There were four Seekers around him, and judging by their colors, they were all hunters.
If these people didn't come looking for him, Lin Feng naturally wouldn't go looking for them either.
For now, he'd go find a place to play for a while.
Lin Feng went to an internet cafe and played a game he hadn't played in a long time.
"Yawn, this game has become so boring."
Feeling a bit bored, Lin Feng stretched and leaned back in his chair, checking the navigation.
"Hmm??"
Seeing a red avatar on the navigation approaching him, Lin Feng immediately became alert.
At this moment, Lin Feng was in the VIP area on the second floor, so this Seeker should be on the first floor, right?
Lin Feng thought to himself, looking at the avatar that was about to overlap with his own.
He focused his gaze on the stairwell, and not long after, a familiar person walked up.
"Qin An?"
Looking at the avatar on his phone again, the Seeker displayed in the navigation was undoubtedly Qin An.
