NOVEL WEB Chapter 11: The rules of the mall (1)
After knowing the basic mechanism clearly, Diep Tich still wanted to look up the specific strategies of the Rules Realm, but after looking at the strange rules and talking about them for a while, she lost this idea.
Because she discovered that, except for the general background of the two strategies, the details were completely different. The two people who wrote the strategies were of course lucky people, but the rules they analyzed were completely different, and the process of clearing the gap also had many details that were completely opposite.
Diep Tich seriously compared notes last night, and quickly came to a conclusion: The rules of the Rule Realm will change, the details are arbitrary.
If this is the case, the general effect of the investigation is extremely small, and on the contrary, it is very likely to cause error.
Seeing that the Rule Realm was fundamentally incapable of making mistakes, this kind of "mistake" literally meant "the weight of life that cannot be accepted", Ye Xi decisively gave up on this strategic approach, and would rather rely on himself to make judgments.
.
September 17, three days left until the interview. Ever since the student era, Ye Xi's habit was to stop studying three days before the exam, and go out to relax his nerves.
She therefore went to a shopping mall in the east of city B, planning to buy two pieces of clothing, have some delicious food, then go to a coffee shop to relax, conveniently planning what to do tomorrow.
In the last nine months of the year, City B has not cooled down yet. During the day, the sun is scorching hot all day long. Just resting outside for a while will cause a layer of slippery sweat to appear on the body.
Diep Tich went from the subway entrance to the main gate of the mall, which was 4500 meters away. He walked until his mouth and tongue were dry.
This shopping mall is like most shopping malls, the main gate has two doors, the distance between the two doors is three or four meters, in the middle, besides the security guards who help open and close the door and maintain order, there is also a vending machine against the wall.
Vending machines sell a variety of drinks, and also have refrigeration functions. In the summer, buying a bottle can be an effective and cool way to quench your thirst.
Ye Xi naturally walked over, selected Nongfu Mountain Spring, scanned the code to pay. The machine started operating and emitted a mechanical sound, thus covering the faint fluctuations around.
"Thread——" The bottle entered the mouth of the object, Ye Xi reached out to take it out, twisted it open and took a sip before turning around, opening his eyes at the same time, his body flipped over.
Although the scene before him was still the appearance of a commercial main gate, it was obviously not what it used to be. The original light gold decorations had all turned dark blue, the distance between the two gates had also shrunk a bit, the entire style looked a bit old-fashioned, like the type that was popular 20 years ago.
Could it be...
Diep Tich already realized what had happened, but he consciously avoided it. His eyes tried hard not to squint, wanting to ignore the yellow sand blowing outside the door.
A few meters away, a man who was originally about to go out stopped in fear and opened his mouth to say, "Fuck!"
"Advancing to that Rule Realm again?"
"What the hell is this!"
A few short sentences were enough to prove that this was not his first time entering the Rule Realm.
If the super talk summary is not wrong, this time in the Rule of Law Realm, there will not be another first-time newcomer.
Diep Tich lowered his trembling eyelids and proactively walked forward: "Hello."
The other party suddenly turned his head and cautiously looked at her: "You are..."
"I originally went to Dong Yue shopping mall to buy a vending machine there, so I came here." Ye Xi said as he pointed in the direction where he had just bought the water, then he and the other party looked over there together, only to discover that the vending machine had disappeared without a trace.
But the other party didn't mind, nor did he feel that she was lying. On the contrary, her words and the actual situation didn't match, making him feel more believable. He described his own experience: "I was going to Heyihui, I just finished walking around and wanted to go out, shit, and it changed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the doors on the left and right were pushed open. A couple walked out from the side door. The female student was clearly nervous and cowered as she looked at them: "Excuse me… Is this entering the Rule Realm?"
The other side of the gate also had a man and a woman coming in. The man was walking in front, very tall, wearing a black windbreaker with long legs and a hem that extended out, looking very elegant and dashing.
They entered without saying anything, without making a sound, but carefully looked at the others.
Next, six individuals entered one after another, only one was a woman over forty years old, the other five were all men.
Everyone's mood was gloomy. Starting with the handsome black windbreaker man, everyone behind him simultaneously chose to be quiet.
Diep Tich calmly counted, including her, 8 men and 4 women, a total of 12 individuals.
Although these 12 individuals did not appear at the same time between the two gates, it took them less than a minute to gather one after another. After a while, everyone waited for a while, but no one else appeared. The windbreaker man looked at his watch: "It should be just these people."
Then his eyes swept across each person in front of him: "A total of 12 individuals, 8 men and 4 women, remember."
In fact, it wasn't everyone's first time entering the Rule Realm. Ye Xi had done almost everything silently in his heart. But he said it so bluntly, and at the end, he also added a "Remember", as if giving everyone an order, naturally occupying the dominant position.
Diep Tich did not say anything but glanced at him, unexpectedly feeling a kind of ease and ease from him. This kind of gloominess that filled the others seemed to have no effect on him.
Xiao Leng didn't pay attention to Ye Xi, after finishing the first person, he said: "First, let me introduce myself, my name is Zhang San, I'm a doctor at the nearby hospital." "..." The atmosphere was subtly silent for a moment, everyone looked at him with complicated emotions.
Although in the Rules of the Realm, a fake name is a type of self-protection that everyone can understand, but the name "Zhang San" is too heartless, it belongs to the type of person who deceives people to the point of not paying attention.
Then, the man in his forties who had just met Ye Xi coughed twice and said, "My name is Dai He Zhong. I work at a media company and have entered the Rule Realm twice before."
This name sounded quite real, effectively lightening the mood. Everyone started to introduce themselves, when it was Ye Xi's turn, she had already made up a fake name: "My name is Gu Chao, Chao Xi Chao."
To the point of trying, is to turn the leaf word a bit into an ancient one, and also to harmonize the sound.
After a round of self-introduction, Ye Xi heard Zhang San slowly open his mouth: "12 individuals is too much, it is not convenient to act collectively, let's split into groups, two or three groups are fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, the female student beside Ye Xi who called Bai Kap said: "Let's go in two groups, the third group said each group only has four people, four is unlucky. Six individuals is really good, six is great!"
"Okay." Tieu Lanh accepted this suggestion, nodded, and randomly selected three boys and two girls to live in his own nest. Furthermore, he had four boys and two girls.
Just like that, the remaining group is also 4 boys and 2 girls, at least from the surface it looks like this grouping result is very fair.
Diep Tich was imprisoned in Tieu Leng's group, she had no objection to this result, because this "Truong Tam" seemed to have quite good strength, but she hesitantly looked at another female student in the same group: "Is it convenient like this?"
"What?" Hu Miao Miao was stunned by her question. Ye Xi glanced at Wei Xu behind her, "You two are lovers, right? Separate actions, what's the point?"
"Ah?" Hu Miao Miao stiffened, and glanced at Wei Xu, both feeling a bit embarrassed. She waved her hand to explain, "No, you misunderstood. We are not lovers, we just met just now..."
But not lovers?
Diep Tich was a bit surprised.
If it was just a chance encounter with a stranger, the two people who had just come here together from the inner sect, their demeanor was a bit too intimate.
But if the other party denied, she didn't say anything more. Xiao Leng similarly didn't care. Seeing that everyone had no opinion on the results of the division, he said, "Let's go, let's fight quickly and win quickly."
After saying that, he walked forward. Everyone seemed to have gotten used to it and tacitly gave him a path.
Tieu Lanh pushed open the inner gate and went in. The others followed behind. Almost everyone noticed the small cabinet placed next to the door the first time they entered.
It is a small cabinet specialized in advertising, narrow and divided into three or four floors. Each floor has an opening, advertising pages are placed inside, and customers can take them out and use them themselves.
Having previously entered the Rule Realm, everyone's first reaction when seeing this kind of thing was to take a piece to look at. Ye Xi also brought a piece, and the advertising page read:
"—— In order to maintain a good shopping environment, please customers comply with the following rules:
1. The four shopping malls have 5 floors, of which 1L is for cosmetics area, 2L-3L is for clothing area, 4L-5L is for food area;
2. To avoid unnecessary trouble, please do not go out alone, and be careful to have companions on the way;
3. In order to maintain normal business operations, please make at least one purchase in each area, and if the total purchase amount reaches 1000 yuan, keep all purchase receipts;
4. Odd numbered floors have restrooms, if you want to use the restroom, please make sure you prepare toilet paper or tissues;
5. Even numbered floors of restrooms do not require toilet paper or paper towels;
..."
Ye Xi had just read half of it when someone analyzed and said: "Wow, this 5th point and the 4th point clearly contradict each other, there must be a problem. I guess every floor's restroom must have its own toilet paper, if they use the shopping mall's supply, they'll die!"
The person who spoke was Dai He Zhong, he was middle-aged, and had the kind of middle-aged person who was uniquely experienced. After finishing speaking, he confidently shrugged his shoulders: "Anyway, everyone remember to use your own paper no matter which floor you go to, you are definitely the safest."
These words sounded very reasonable, some people in the team were convinced, nodding thoughtfully.
Tieu Lanh frowned slightly, remaining silent.
Diep Tich's first reaction was to exclaim: They are all experienced people, indeed different.
The moment the library rules discussion just started, everyone was like headless flies, not a single one of them could immediately start analyzing the rules.
But the next second, she tried to maintain objectivity, forcing herself to maintain her judgment, and with a kind of intentionally choosing the wrong mentality, she repeatedly read the conflicting two internal rules, softly saying: "Is there a possibility?"
Those originally either accepting or hesitating gazes simultaneously turned over, she raised her eyes: "Even number floors basically don't have restrooms. If I enter the restroom of even number floors, will I be in danger?"
Just now, Dai He Zhong, who was full of confidence, was trembling without cold. He was frightened and looked at the rules again.
"'Odd-numbered floors have bathrooms'." Ye Xi continued, "If the only important rule is whether or not you bring your own tissues, these words are meaningless."
"... Well, that makes sense." Dai He Zhong wiped his cold sweat and expressed his approval.
Xiao Leng's eyes froze, his gaze swept past Ye Xi's shoulder, and he and Yang Ca, who used the fake name Bai Cap, exchanged glances. Yang Ca was sizing up Ye Xi, and noticed Xiao Leng's gaze turning back, and he gave a barely detectable smile.
