Chapter 678

That this didn't happen can also be said that the veteran players participating this time all have some principles and bottom lines, and didn't actively commit malicious acts.

Too difficult,

Newcomer players are really too difficult.

After sighing twice, several people started brisk walking forward again.

They still had to continue moving toward the finish line.

"Ling, let me be responsible for pushing next!"

Leng Shuang took the initiative to come to Lin Ye's side, preparing to take over the small cart Lin Ye was pushing.

"No need, I'm fine,"

Now that more than an hour had passed, the road had been calm and peaceful, with no abnormalities appearing, which made Lin Ye even more suspicious.

"Could it be that this brisk walk is just a pure competition of physical strength?"

"Impossible,"

Leng Shuang shook her head. "The dungeon projects of Eerie Games can't be that simple. This brisk walk project must have changes; it's just that they haven't arrived yet!"

She said.

Just like the first project, Rice Bucket, which also hid huge dangers—one careless move and you could go crazy and die—and this project, 'Brisk Walk', is even less likely to be simple.

"Mm, it should have something to do with the distance or time."

The road they have traveled now is only one-sixth to one-fifth; there is still a considerable distance to the destination.

The three,

At this time, were no longer jogging but walking forward.

People who are not in the field of professional long-distance running need to rest.

Nakiri Erina had already supported herself for almost an hour, and she now needed to pant and rest to recover her physical strength and adjust her state.

"A bit thirsty,"

Up to now, they hadn't drunk any water.

And on both sides of the road, one side was a dense forest, and the other side was an open space.

The three ran here and didn't see anything suspected to be water or anything that could quench thirst.

"Let's eat a piece of chewing gum to hold on for now!"

The chewing gum was used to quench thirst this time.

With nothing else now, Lin Ye could only rely on it.

"Thanks,"

Leng Shuang took it and ate it.

Cool, refreshing; her throat felt much more comfortable.

Nakiri Erina also expressed her thanks.

"Didn't the organizer consider providing water? Marathons have stations providing water! This 'Brisk Walk' has no water; this is too unreasonable,"

Lin Ye looked into the distance, concentrating his spirit to observe the surroundings, but still had no discoveries.

"Hold on for a while,"

Ten-plus minutes later,

Lin Ye and the other two turned a corner and immediately saw many players gathered about twenty meters ahead.

"Is it a rest station?"

Lin Ye saw the organizer's staff.

On a long table, black cups were placed, and a machine was making a 'ga, ga, ga' sound.

After Lin Ye and the other two walked in, they found four or five players surrounding it, but they were in a hesitant state.

"Can someone explain?"

Lin Ye patted one person casually.

This person turned his head, anger rising, but when he saw it was Lin Ye, the angry expression immediately changed.

"Brother Ling, it's like this,"

Offending anyone is better than offending Lin Ye.

They still knew they had to establish a friendly relationship with Lin Ye, the player most likely to get first place.

If they encounter difficulties later, Ling might just give them a hand!

"This is a rest point set up by the organizer, providing water, but it's not free; it requires Eerie Coins,"

Selling water?

Where would newcomers get Eerie Coins?

This is probably targeting him again, right!

"How are they selling it?"

This player held up a finger. "Ten Eerie Coins; so expensive, might as well rob."

These people clearly wanted to rob Eerie Coins, yet they still used a 'purchase' method, and even had to give you a cup of water.

The dozen or so players here also realized Lin Ye was there; they also knew Lin Ye was a wealthy landlord who possessed 350 Eerie Coins.

But no one spoke up to let Lin Ye buy and share the water.

Someone did want to moral-kidnap him, but was stopped by a knowledgeable teammate.

If they dared to moral-kidnap him, Lin Ye would dare to abandon them.

So,

Rather than 'persuading' Lin Ye to spend Eerie Coins to buy water, it's better to look forward to how Lin Ye will get water from the organizer.

"Move aside, move aside for Brother Ling,"

The surrounding players took the initiative to disperse. Lin Ye walked to the table, facing the three organizer staff members directly.

They were wearing uniform sportswear, and masks covered their faces.

"Besides spending Eerie Coins to buy it, what other ways are there to get water?"

"None,"

The staff member shook his head and denied it.

"Are you sure there are none?"

"Yes, I am very sure,"

"But why, when I asked the host when I arrived, he indicated that water was provided for free? How did it become fee-based?"

At this moment, the three staff members were stunned.

Even wearing masks, it still couldn't hide their shocked reaction.

"That is impossible,"

"You heard wrong,"

"Our water has always been fee-based. If you aren't buying, leave quickly, don't affect our business,"

The three urged Lin Ye to leave quickly; the coldness in their words was mixed with a faint trace of anxiety.

Lin Ye had thoughts of violent robbery, but he really wasn't sure he could take down these three staff members.

Although he felt it was possible these three staff members were imposters, the problem lay in whether they could be taken down—at least make these three staff members faint and lose their ability to act.

But in the end, Lin Ye thought about it and gave up the violent method.

This might attract unnecessary trouble.

Since he couldn't directly rob, then he would directly move it.

"Time Stop, activate,"

Lin Ye immediately took action, putting a large bucket of water into the small cart, and even used a bag to press down and cover the water. Besides the water, he also took ten cups.

Time Stop ended.

Everything returned to normal flow.

"Fine, let's go,"

Lin Ye looked at the remaining players and waved his hand. "Let's go, let's see who they sell their water to."

Numerous players were stunned.

You're just leaving like this, not even wanting the water?
