Chapter 238 The crazy batch begins

Shock and fear are instinctive.

Instinct cannot be disguised, and instinct cannot have a voice. It is something imprinted in genes.

Qin Ze realized that he had made a mistake.

That's the clown, not an NPC prop.

Clowns are real, living beings.

The shock and fear on the clown's face flashed away, but it was still captured by Qin Ze.

Qin Ze's infinite knife burst into flames.

The advance force, the fire of the royal family’s karma.

This is Qin Ze's most unruly power at present. It comes from the pioneer era and is a powerful species absorbed by the God of Suture and Devouring - the Balrog.

The flames burned, burning the Joker's courage.

Looking at the clown's reaction, Qin Ze wondered, could all this be planned?

He had just arrived in the maze and was as confused as the being in the other maze.

Thumb-through books serve as entry points, but to no avail.

The magic lamp I was looking for was used as a cheating prop, but it had no effect.

Qingyi's mind-reading skills were used as a means to break the situation, but it still had no effect.

The clown in the first level caught Qin Ze off guard.

Pain Gaze doesn't work on the Joker either.

The clown has no heart. It cannot bring back any past or memories.

But clowns have instincts, which suddenly made Qin Ze think of something.

"What would happen if I killed you?"

Qin Ze asked calmly.

Now Qin Ze is also an old actor. He can naturally perform the indifference of a killer.

The clown said fearfully:

"Please don't do that, I'm your fallback."

Qin Ze raised his eyebrows. He had to say that he felt much more pleasing to the eye after the clown put away his joking smile.

"backing?"

"I am here to serve you." The clown's attitude became much more correct.

It has a survival instinct. Qin Ze guessed that the clown had all his memories erased and only a part of his instructions were implanted.

The reason why the Joker became like this is probably because the Joker was a former challenger.

Qin Ze said:

"How can you serve me?"

"You need to use what you have on you as a price in exchange for the information I provide you that is enough to break the situation." The clown brought the topic back to the original point.

This is the same as when Qin Ze first arrived in the maze.

Qin Ze pretended to be impatient:

"Sorry, I like shopping for zero dollars. I don't like to pay. If I don't pay, it doesn't count as prostitution, right?"

After saying this, Qin Ze raised his sword.

The clown was completely terrified.

Disobeying orders is death, but meeting such crazy people is also death.

It suddenly didn't know what to do.

Qin Ze said:

"You'd better give me some information that I can find useful now, otherwise, I won't give you a chance to speak again."

The flames of the Infinity Knife were beating manically.

The Infinity Knife needs anger as fuel, so when the flames ignite, Qin Ze is really angry.

The murderous intention brought about by this kind of true anger cannot be deceived.

The clown immediately started thinking about things that could be said but were not considered "paid content" stipulated by the boss.

"Don't worry! Don't worry, what I can tell you is that every time you open a door, you need to pay a price."

"The world created by the maze is extremely close to reality, and the price you pay will guarantee the authenticity."

"If you don't pay a price to open the door...such as certain special professions, they are born to be able to open various doors."

"Some abilities allow them to skip the price, and it's not like there are no such people in the maze."

"There's a guy who's said to have opened the door thousands of times."

Qin Ze suddenly thought of a certain unlucky person who... provoked him on a day when things were not suitable for him.

He remembered that it was one of the commander's targets that he could focus on cultivating.

What that guy is good at is opening doors.

"But he didn't have to pay a price to open the door, so he was trapped in an endless maze of doors."

"In fact, if he chooses not to open the door using his ability as a locksmith...the normal process of walking through the maze..."

Qin Ze interrupted the clown:

"How about following the normal process? He can get out of the maze?"

The clown shook his head:

"Of course not. If we follow the normal process, he will die. At least he won't face endless torture."

The setting of the clown is really naughty.

Qin Ze guessed that the clown only retained the most basic instincts.

The characters are all designed to be fun-loving, taking pleasure in those who challenge the maze, and providing fun to the maze king.

"In other words, there is a person who keeps opening the door. So if I meet this person, can I guide him?"

"You can communicate with him, but you don't know whether he believes you or not. After all, thousands of doors mean that he has experienced thousands of worlds."

"His experience is very rich, so rich that... he may have seen everything. Even in a certain world, if he sees someone calling his name, he will be wary of you."

"Oh, hell, this may be paid content. Do you want to give up something you own?"

The clown suddenly realized that he had said too much.

Qin Ze said curiously:

"How does the transaction work? As long as I agree to your request, I will lose something?"

The clown nodded.

"Then if I obtain the information in advance but I don't promise you, can I default on the bill?"

The clown's expression froze again.

Qin Ze saw the changes in his eyes and was very satisfied.

The clown suddenly realized that he was meeting a very unruly player.

But it wasn't too scared.

The clown said:

"What I can provide is more than just information. I only appear at levels that are integer multiples of three, which is the third door you open, the sixth door... and so on."

"And I can provide you with specific buffs, such as the sanity buff. This will last until the next time you see me."

"Of course, I'm just giving you an example, but I have a lot to offer, and you can think of it as an endless train."

"You're heading towards the conductor's cab, passing countless trains, and I'm the waiter pushing a cart, selling stuff."

Qin Ze interrupted the clown's speech:

"Are there other clowns besides you?"

"If you die, will another clown take your place?"

The clown suddenly felt happy because he guessed what Qin Ze was thinking——

If no one can replace him, Qin Ze will not kill him.

This madman is just scaring himself.

The clown said:

"No, although there are many other clowns, each clown only serves one customer."

"If I die, you won't have any other clowns to help."

The smile on the clown's face returned.

Because he believed that no one would be so stupid. Help in a desperate situation is like a sip of water in the desert. Even if it is not cost-effective, it is better than nothing.

Qin Ze did not respond and continued to ask coldly:

"Are everything you said true? How do I know you didn't lie to me?"

"This is the rule. The part where I'm allowed to tell lies is not here."

This sentence is very interesting, clowns can tell lies.

But he will tell lies under certain circumstances.

Qin Ze showed a crazy smile:

"Rules? In other words, everything you just said are the rules of the maze. The rules must be followed, right?"

The clown nodded, a little confused as to why Qin Ze asked.

Qin Ze continued to ask:

"Then can I trade with you now?" "Are you sure? It's just level zero carriage now."

Qin Ze suddenly asked:

"You don't have the ability to think of your own, so why did you choose to use a carriage to describe the maze?"

"Is it set by the Lord of the Labyrinth?"

The clown was a little uncomfortable with Qin Ze's out-of-the-box thinking, but he still said:

"Yeah, that's a boss metaphor."

Qin Ze said:

"Does this maze have anything to do with trains?"

The clown is confused:

"I do not know."

Qin Ze thinks this train metaphor is very interesting.

Then I suddenly thought whether the prototype of the maze was really a train.

But this question is obviously a knowledge blind spot for the clown, and he does not have the authority to answer it.

"Okay, my last question, what do you think is the most valuable thing in exchange for something to get through the maze?"

The clown said:

"Of course it is a price denial authority. You need to pay a price for passing through the door, but correspondingly, there will be certain adventures behind the door that allow you to recover the price, and there are many possibilities and additional gains."

Qin Ze understood, for example, if the price of opening the door is losing one's mind, then there is a way to regain one's mind behind the door. Not only will you regain your sanity, you may also receive additional subsidies.

Price denial is indeed a very interesting thing.

"But I generally don't recommend that you buy too early. After all, you may not be willing to pay for something you need to pay for. It is best to buy when you are in desperate situations."

The Joker returned to his original stance.

Now he has clearly made Qin Ze realize his own value.

As long as Qin Ze is a smart person, he will not choose to kill himself.

But he doesn't understand Qin Ze.

"I need to buy this thing, and the price will be denied. Tell me, what is the price?"

The clown was a little surprised.

This is indeed something that has never happened before.

Because people who are trying to pass the maze are afraid of dealing with themselves.

After all, in everyone's minds, making a deal with the devil is bound to result in loss.

So at the beginning of the maze, at the lowest difficulty level, when everyone has the most abundant resources...

Most people are not willing to trade with the Joker.

They can just pay to open their doors.

And the price of trading with the clown is far greater than opening the door.

But Qin Ze asked for a deal from the beginning.

Moreover, what is being traded is "price denial", which is the most expensive thing among all commodities.

But the clown also has his own indicators:

"No problem, the price is negated. This is an extremely expensive commodity. If you are sure you want to trade it, of course I can trade it."

"The price is that if you die, you will become my colleague and one of the clowns."

"And, next, the cost of opening the door may double."

"At the same time, the conditions for you to leave the maze will be extended from the original fifteen levels to eighteen levels."

"Of course, after doubling the amount, the resources that can be found in the world inside the door will also double."

"In the end, it's fifty percent of your soul that you lose."

"This is the price, are you sure you want to pay it?"

The clown laughed and said:

"This is a very unequal transaction. I have to remind you - the huge price you paid will only last for three levels. That is, the next time you see me, this buff will disappear."

Qin Ze nodded and showed an elegant smile worthy of a villain:

"Yes, I know, please complete the transaction for me first. By the way, fifty percent of the soul, can you use my belongings as a trade?"

“There’s an extra soul in me that’s completely mine.”

Banker Lu Buwei, at this time, was used to offset the price. In Qin Ze's view, it was very reasonable.

After the clown was silent for a few seconds, he nodded:

"No problem, if that soul completely belongs to you and is considered your personal belongings, then you can indeed do this.

Great, this solves the biggest problem in the problem - fifty percent of the soul.

Qin Ze can imagine that this price is usually used in the last few levels of the maze.

When a person only has his soul to trade, he will choose to use his soul in exchange for this subsidy.

To break through the last three levels.

The condition for leaving the maze is to make fifteen choices in the maze without dying.

At present, it seems that most people have to turn to the clown after a few choices.

If you make the right choice and reach twelve levels, only the last three levels are left. Finally, you have to ask the clown for help and buy "price denial".

Then comes the greatest malice.

First, it becomes more expensive to open the door. At this time, the person who challenges the maze may have nothing left.

He may not be able to afford these costs at all, even if there are enough resources behind the door to recover these costs...

But he may no longer have the basic situation to recover the price.

For example, for a person with residual health, the price is to overdraw 10% of his maximum life. Even if he can make up 10% later, he will die the moment the price is consumed.

There is no way to make up for it.

This is the first malicious point left by the Maze King.

Secondly, whether you succeed or not, you will lose 50% of your soul.

In a sense, these souls will provide new material for the Labyrinth King.

Again, if you fail, you will become a clown. The clown will basically be robbed of everything by the Maze King.

But these are not the greatest evils.

The greatest malice is——

Once you make this choice, your departure base value changes from making fifteen choices to eighteen choices.

This means that when you actually successfully pass the fifteenth level, the clown will take back the "price denial" permission that you purchased at a huge cost.

And you, who have lost 50% of your soul... still have three levels to go.

too disgusting.

Qin Ze had to say that this was disgusting.

So Qin Ze chose to complete the transaction first when he still had other prices to pay.

But even so, Qin Ze still suffered a loss.

After all, this deal is too unequal.

Qin Ze seems to have discovered a loophole. The player's thinking is to find bugs.

If it is a well-designed game, of course there is no need to do this.

But the Labyrinth King is not a reasonable designer at all.

So Qin Ze doesn't want to be a rule-abiding player.

What he does is find loopholes.

After completing the transaction, Qin Ze didn't feel any changes.

Lu Buwei lost 50% of his soul, which seemed to have no additional reflection in Qin Ze himself.

The clown smiled more and more proudly. The madman who made a huge sacrifice before the first level even started...

He could imagine that this lunatic would definitely be begging him behind.

But his smile quickly froze.

Only then did Qin Ze start his sexy operation:

"According to the rules you mentioned——"

"A challenger, or a train passenger, will only meet you as a waiter, right?"

"Yes." The clown didn't realize the seriousness of the problem yet.

"Okay, rule two, the next time I meet you, the transaction I completed before will be invalid. Right?"

The clown nodded, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

Qin Ze showed an exaggerated smile like a clown:

"Well, goodbye, Mr. Clown, I don't think I'll meet you again."
