The Earth is Online - Chapter 33

[Chapter 33]

Tang Mo put the golden gopher’s pocket on the coffee table. The pocket was stabbed so tightly that the golden gopher couldn’t get out at all, but a little golden powder penetrated from the gap in the mouth of the pocket. Grandma Wolf exclaimed when she saw the gold dust. She also didn’t want her small parasol, and threw away the wine bottle and seasoning. She strode to the coffee table and untied her pocket.

The golden gopher rushed out the moment the pocket was opened, of course Tang Mo couldn’t let it escape. But before he could make a move, Grandma Wolf grabbed the golden gopher by the back of the neck and lifted it up.

The golden gopher chirped, and Grandma Wolf looked at it and couldn’t help gulping. She watched for a while, then turned to look at Tang Mo. Those eyes were so complex that they could write a million-word novel, full of appetite, entanglement, depression, and a barely perceptible trace of conscience.

Granny Wolf stuffed the golden gopher back into her pocket and grabbed it with her big, dark, furry hands.

After a long time, she took a deep breath, as if she had finally made a decision. She roared in a nasty tone: “There are only five copper coins, and there is not one extra! You stinky thing, go back to your underground father, don’t let me see you again, And your hair!”

After Grandma Wolf entered the house, Tang Mo’s hand had been pressing on the match tattoo, not daring to relax. Hearing this sentence, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Grandma Wolf walked into the bedroom, took out a dirty yellow-colored sock from under the pillow, took it out, and took out five copper coins from it. There were only five copper coins in total, she counted it back and forth three times, and finally handed it to Tang Mo reluctantly.

“Ding Dong! Get ‘Grandma Wolf’s Copper Coins’, hint: You can exchange copper coins for the prop ‘Grandma Wolf’s Little Parasol’.”

After Grandma Wolf handed the copper coin to Tang Mo, she picked up the seasoning packet on the ground, walked into the kitchen, opened the cabinet, and took out a piece of marinated underground bacon. She sprinkled cumin on the shriveled bacon, stared at Tang Mo, and chewed the meat. The naked|naked|naked eyes seemed that she was not eating bacon, but Tang Mo’s meat.

After Tang Mo saw Grandma Wolf take out the bacon to eat, the last bit of defense in his heart was also put down.

It seems that after completing the task, Grandma Wolf really didn’t eat him. This may be the limitation of the black tower. He has completed the task of the wolf grandma, and the wolf grandma cannot eat him.

Tang Mo looked at the five copper coins in his hand, and after thinking it over, he decided, “I want to exchange the copper coins for that little parasol.”

“Huh?” Grandma Wolf bit off a piece of subterranean tendon and opened her bloody mouth.

There was a hint from the black tower, so this should be an option. Tang Mo calmly said: “I want to exchange copper coins for a small parasol.”

Grandma Wolf’s eyes suddenly became very strange, she glanced up and down at Tang Mo, her eyes stayed on the five copper coins, her eyes were greedy, but her expression was a little suspicious. She sneered, there was a lot of meat foam on the pointed wolf’s mouth, and smiled strangely: “You little girl, what do you want a small parasol for?”

Tang Mo continued to ask, “Can I change it?”

Grandma Wolf bit the meat: “What kind of parasol does the little girl want? It smells good.”

Tang Mo: “…” After a while, he nodded expressionlessly: “I am stinky.”

Grandma Wolf was trying to do bad things on purpose. She said that she didn’t want to give the small parasol to Tang Mo, but Lu Youyou’s eyes never moved from the five copper coins. After eating this large piece of tendon meat, she brought the small parasol over: “Five copper coins can be exchanged, you know, don’t even think about one!”

Tang Mo handed over the copper coins.

Grandma Wolf hurriedly took the copper coin and threw the small parasol into Tang Mo’s arms, mumbling, “What a beautiful little girl, she must have learned from her underground father…”

Tang Mo: “…”

After the meat was finished, the little parasol was replaced, and Grandma Wolf started to drive Tang Mo away.

Tang Mo kept delaying because he hadn’t heard the black tower’s voice prompting the completion of the main quest until now. Could it be that his main quest is not over yet? He had to stay longer in Grandma Wolf’s house.

Seeing that her granddaughter was still lingering, Grandma Wolf grinned sullenly and licked her teeth: “My dear granddaughter, do you really want to leave?”

Tang Mo’s heart tightened, he took a step backwards, his mind worked fast, and said, “What is the golden gopher of time and space?”

Grandma Wolf was interrupted by this, and subconsciously replied: “You don’t even know the golden mole of time and space? Your mother is really fascinated by that filthy underground man, and she doesn’t even tell you that.”

Granny Wolf grabbed the golden gopher from her pocket and took out a mouse wheel from the cupboard. The golden gopher danced its limbs in the air, desperately trying to escape. But when Grandma Wolf put it into the wheel, it was like being hit by evil. It took a tentative step at first, the roller moved, it stretched its limbs excitedly, and ran happily.

Tang Mo looked at the golden gopher, and suddenly, he saw that the time and space overlapped around the wheel. He saw the second golden gopher! This golden gopher looks exactly like the first, and also runs in the wheel. Then the third, the fourth, the fifth…

The figures of the seven golden hamsters overlapped and separated for a while. The faster the golden gophers ran, the more these gopher shadows split.

Grandma Wolf looked at the golden gopher happily, and the sound of swallowing saliva was very obvious in the hut.

“This is the golden hamster of time and space.” Grandma Wolf looked at the golden hamster for a while, and muttered a few words “braised hamster”, “sweet and sour hamster”, and “fried hamster”. She looked at Tang Mo’s head again, gulping saliva.

Tang Mo suddenly remembered the phrase “her head is sweet.”

Tang Mo: “…”

The main quest was not over yet, and Tang Mo did not dare to leave Grandma Wolf’s hut easily. There was a hoarse and weird laughter from Grandma Wolf’s throat, she slowly walked towards Tang Mo and asked softly, “My dear granddaughter, there is a very fun little toy in grandma’s bedroom, do you want to go to the bedroom with grandma? Take a look inside…”

Tang Mo clenched his teeth, and in an instant, he made a decision: leave the main quest aside for now and leave here first.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

“Grandma Wolf, the caravan of the underground people is about to pass through the monster valley. Your little Red Riding Hood can return to the kingdom of the underground people with this group of businessmen. Do you want me to take her out of the valley? Grandma wolf, are you at home?”

Grandma Wolf just opened her sharp teeth and stared at Tang Mo with greedy eyes, when she suddenly heard this voice, she closed her mouth.

Tang Mo finally knew what Grandma Wolf was doing when he was taken to Grandma Wolf’s hut by the orangutan monster seven days ago and knocked on the door. I saw Grandma Wolf tidying up the pink dress very quickly, put on a beautiful top hat, and opened the door.

She took small steps little by little and walked to the front of the courtyard: “Uncle Gorilla, you care so much about my Little Red Riding Hood.”

Tang Mo followed her out.

The orangutan monster said: “Little Red Riding Hood is your grandmother’s granddaughter, and we have to take good care of her. Little Red Riding Hood, the merchants of your underground kingdom are going to pass through here. Come with me to find them. They are good underground people and often use Sell us goods at very cheap prices, and never deceive our kind and lovely monsters like the King’s Caravan.”

Tang Mo nodded, took advantage of the situation to leave the yard, and walked to the gorilla monster.

Grandma Wolf’s face turned green as she glared at Tang Mo with fierce eyes. Tang Mo stood by with a calm expression, looking down at the ground, but he kept thinking about why the main quest had not been completed and what else he needed to do. If he really wanted to go back to Grandma Wolf’s hut, how would he sneak into the Monster Valley.

A crisp child’s voice sounded at this moment.

“Ding Dong! Complete the main quest ‘Happy whack-a-mole game in Monster Valley’ and beat | 11 black moles and one golden mole.”

Tang Mo’s eyes widened, and the heart that had been hanging in the air finally let go. However, he had only just put it in half, and only listened to the child’s voice and continued: “One black gopher is worth one point, and one golden gopher is worth ten points. Players get a total of 21 points. If the total number of player points exceeds twenty points, the reward will be triggered. ‘Care from orangutans’.”

Tang Mo’s heart thumped, he seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and his whole body froze in place.

And the sound of the black tower continues: “Ding dong! Player Momo triggered the hidden main quest ‘Catch the Golden Gopher’ and successfully cleared the first floor of the black tower (normal mode)… Cross out. Successfully cleared the first floor of the black tower (Hardmode).”

Tang Mo’s eyes darkened, his fingers trembling, and at this moment he suddenly understood what malicious intentions from the black tower mean.

…you god damn hardmode! ! !

The gorilla and the wolf grandma were still talking, and a dazzling white light flashed in front of Tang Mo’s eyes.

At the same time, from all over the world, a loud and happy child’s voice sounded in the minds of twenty-three players.

“Ding dong! Momo, the official player of Huaxia District 2, successfully cleared the first floor of the black tower (hard mode).”

“Ding Dong! Momo, the official player of Huaxia District 2…”

The global broadcast of the black tower was broadcast three times in total. At this moment, the twenty-three players stopped their movements and looked at the black tower closest to them in surprise.

Outside the sixth ring road in Beijing, Fu Wenduo, who was on his way, heard the voice. He was stunned for a moment: “Hardmode?” Then he chuckled and continued to the south.

Los Angeles, USA, a blonde woman covered in blood heard this voice and muttered to herself: “What is Hardmode…”

In Europe, a bald man sits on a soft sofa and is drinking red wine. He frowned when he heard this sentence: “My tower attack game is normal mode, what is hard mode?”

Three people in China heard this voice, three in the United States and four in Europe…

Among the twenty-three players, except Fu Wenduo, the other twenty-two players recited the name silently in their hearts.

“…Momo.”

Tang Mo, who had just been transported back to Nanjing Road, had no idea that he had become popular “all over the world”. But it’s okay to know, anyway, it’s Momo who is popular. After three days, there will be no more Momo in the world.

Tang Mo was now teleported to the counter of a local specialty supermarket next to Nanjing Road.

The black tower in Shanghai is located on Nanjing Road. Tang Mo was here when he entered the tower attack game seven days ago. Now he has been teleported here again. Along with him, he was teleported along with a small parasol with pink lace and his backpack. .

After Tang Mo was teleported back, he did not move for the first time. He stood in front of the counter, looked at the empty glass counter, and glanced at the small parasol beside him. Tang Mo’s face was very calm, he picked up the small parasol and stuffed it into his backpack. After doing all this, he walked out of the souvenir shop with a blank face and walked straight towards the black tower.

The black tower was suspended 100 meters above the ground. Tang Mo walked directly below the black tower, raised his head, and looked at the huge tower.

A minute later, he picked up an iron rod from the ground, clenched his hands tightly, and smashed it hard on a broken stone tablet below the black tower. There was no expression on his face, he just smashed the crumbling stone tablet with an iron rod.

A man and a woman walked past him, glanced at him, and hurriedly walked away without expressing surprise.

Because since the game officially started, countless people have come to this place. They couldn’t do anything to the black tower, but they were so angry that they could only take things near the black tower. The store near the black tower was smashed into pulp by the angry people, and this stone tablet was smashed many times, and it has long been broken into pieces. The iron rod that Tang Mo picked up from the ground was thrown here by the person who smashed the stone tablet before.

There are not a few people who vent their anger like Tang Mo. Others should stay away from him at most, so they won’t find it strange, because they may have smashed it too.

Tang Mo smashed it seven times in total. After seven hits, he threw the iron bar and left Nanjing Road with his backpack on his back.

After venting, Tang Mo finally felt more at ease.

It was getting dark, and there were fewer and fewer people on the street. Tang Mo walked into a shopping mall and found an empty clothing store. From being notified of the tower attack game ten days later, he finally had a chance to catch his breath.

After calming down, Tang Mo smiled helplessly and took out the small parasol from his backpack. He remembered the act of smashing the stone tablet just now, and thought for a while while touching his chin: “…Well, it’s a bit childish.”

It was indeed naive, but when he was angry, Tang Mo couldn’t control it.

After the Earth went online, Tang Mo has always been more accepting of reality and kept calm. He didn’t run near the black tower like most players did to vent his anger by smashing things. But this time the black tower really pissed him off.

Tang Mo never imagined that the main mission of his tower attack game was really a “happy game of whack-a-mole” in the literal sense.

What a whack-a-mole you are! Your whole family goes whack-a-mole!

Tang Mo silently uttered a foul language in his heart.

Yes, this tower attack game is a simple game of whack-a-mole. From the beginning to the end, the Black Tower promulgated eight rules, none of which said that Tang Mo had to catch the golden gopher to complete the task. Even in the end, Heita said that grandma wolf hates golden gophers and wants her granddaughter to catch golden gophers, but Heita still didn’t say that the task could not be completed without catching golden gophers.

This is a game of whack-a-mole.

A black gopher is worth one point, and a golden gopher is worth ten.

There are golden-haired hamsters in chaos, and seven Tang Moguang can get up to 28 points in seven days by fighting black-haired hamsters. As long as it exceeds 20 points, “Care from Orangutans” will be triggered, and the orangutan monster will knock on Grandma Wolf’s door and take Tang Mo away.

From the very beginning, Grandma Wolf said that Tang Mo could not catch the gopher, so she ate Tang Mo. She didn’t even think Tang Mo could catch the golden gopher, so she had already prepared wine and seasonings, and planned to eat Tang Mo when she came back. Therefore, the clearance reward given by the Black Tower to players who complete the main quest is “the care from the orangutan” to save the player’s life.

As long as you beat 20 black moles and survived the black moles, Granny Wolf won’t be able to eat you.

Tang Mo’s behavior of catching the golden gopher was equivalent to over-completing the main quest. He triggered the hidden main quest, and forcibly raised the normal mode tower attack game to hard mode.

Do you think Tang Mo is angry?

With the determination to die, he tried his best to catch the golden gopher, but in the end Heita said: “Sorry, I didn’t expect you to be so good and overfulfilled our task. Sending you a medal, congratulations on completing Hardmode.

Tang Mo was so angry that he just wanted to scold his mother, so he couldn’t hold back for a while and smashed the stone tablet. Counting it every day, there are seven days in total, so a total of seven hits.

After this incident, Tang Mo sat in the counter and used the cabinet to cover his figure, thinking to himself: “Currently, there are three modes of tower attack games, mental retardation mode, normal mode and hard mode. There may be other modes. In the future Be sure to pay attention to all the rules of the black tower, it is likely to set language traps in unexpected places.”

This “Happy whack-a-mole game in Monster Valley” seems to be that Heita tricked Tang Mo into trying to catch the golden gopher. But in fact, this is also the difficulty that the black tower adds to the game.

If Granny Wolf didn’t ask Tang Mo to catch the golden retriever, then after seeing the game of whack-a-mole, Tang Mo’s first reaction would definitely be to whack as many hamsters as possible. The more he hits, the more rewards. Then it will be easier to reach 20 points. However, once the thought of “I want to catch the golden gopher” is buried in his heart, he will try his best to make all himself stand in the same hole.

Trick the player to catch the golden hamster and hit the black hamster as little as possible. This is the biggest difficulty in this game.

A black-haired gopher counted as one point, not a golden-haired gopher. Each Tang Mo stood in a different hole every day, and could get a maximum of 28 points.

Just like this time, Tang Mo got 21 points. If you don’t count the golden gopher he caught, he only has 11 points in total, far from reaching the 20 point requirement.

Tang Mo has actually been thinking about a question. Can other players really complete the task of catching the Golden Retriever except him?

Without the archiver, Tang Mo couldn’t contact Fu Wenduo, so he didn’t know that he had fallen into the time-space trap of the Golden Retriever.

Without the ability to change his name, Tang Mo could not contact the others, so that all Tang Mo would stand in the same hole.

Maybe other players have other special props and abilities, but in order to clear the game, the requirements for the players themselves are too harsh, not like an ordinary tower attack game at all. Unless this game was specially made for Tang Mo. Looking back now, no problem, this is a hardmode tower attack game.

After reflecting on his successful and failed tower attack game this time, Tang Mo summed up a few points to note. The reflection was over, and he began to look at the rewards he had received.

The first is Grandma Wolf’s little parasol. Tang Mo took out the small parasol from his backpack, opened the parasol and looked at it for a long time, but didn’t see any hints.

It was already dark, and the mall was pitch dark. Tang Mo thought for a while, took out a flashlight, and shone on the parasol to find clues. When he shines a flashlight on the top of the parasol, lines of small print appear.

[Prop: Grandma Wolf’s little parasol]

【Owner: Momo】

【Quality: Excellent】

[Level: Level 2]

[Attack Power: Strong]

[Function: Extremely strong defense, the umbrella surface is extremely hard, and the umbrella tip is extremely sharp, opening the small parasol can be used as a defense, and closing the small parasol can be used as an attack. Appearance is very nice. 】

[Restriction: When using a small parasol, you must shout “Little Red Riding Hood, magical girl transformation!”]

[Remarks: Like her granddaughter, Grandma Wolf’s little parasol is full of girly hearts with pink lace. 】

Tang Mo: “…”

With the “return your grandfather” ability as a foreshadowing, Tang Mo’s lower limit has been lowered to a certain extent. Looking at the restrictions on using the small parasol, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He wanted to be the same as when he got the “Return Your Grandpa” ability, and decided that he would never use this item in his life, but he looked at the excellent quality of the small parasol and Awesome feature…

Tang Mo didn’t set up a FLAG for himself, and silently put away the small parasol.

Next, when Tang Mo was teleported away from the black tower, he received a reward. He took out a gold coin from his pocket, turned it left and right, and used his fingers to carefully explore the patterns on the gold coin, looking for clues to props.

While Tang Mo was being teleported, Heita rang a sentence in his ear.

“Ding Dong! Player Momo successfully cleared the first floor of the black tower (hard mode). As the first player in the world to clear the hard mode, you will get an extra reward of ‘the king’s gold coins’.”

That’s the gold coin.

This is a heavy gold coin. In terms of weight, it is absolutely free of water and is made of pure gold. On the front of the gold coin was the image of a man wearing a crown, and on the back of the gold coin were some strange words that Tang Mo could not understand. He looked at the words, and finally looked at the man with the crown on the front of the gold coin.

“King of the Underworld Kingdom?”

The king’s gold coins, Tang Mo’s first thought was the kingdom of the underground people. It was said when the gorilla took him away that the king’s merchants liked to trick them into monsters and sell them cheap goods at high prices.

Probably guessing the origin of the gold coin, Tang Mo carefully searched for the function description of the gold coin. He searched for a long time, burned it with fire, clenched his teeth, and finally came to a conclusion: “It is absolutely 100% pure gold.” This gold coin was bent by him!

Tang Mo broke the bent gold coin back, the gold coin was restored, and a line of small characters appeared above the gold coin. Tang Mo’s eyes lit up.

[Prop: King’s Gold Coin]

【Owner: Momo】

【Quality: Rare】

[Level: Level 1]

[Attack Power: None]

[Function: You can abstain from any Black Tower game, choose to exit the game directly or watch as a bystander. 】

Seeing this line of words, Tang Mo’s heart throbbed violently. His breathing quickened, and after a few seconds he calmed down and continued to look down.

[Restriction: Disposable items, can only be used once. During the period of watching the game, you cannot use any abilities or props to help players who are participating in the game clear the game. 】

[Note: Holding the king’s death-free gold coin, you are the king’s spokesperson! 】

Tang Mo said silently, “Sure enough…”

It is impossible to use such a sky-defying item freely, and it can only be used once, which can be said to be the biggest limitation.

However, even if it was a one-time item, Tang Mo couldn’t help but get emotional. He held the small gold coin tightly and watched it for five minutes before he put the gold coin into his pocket. The gold coins were placed in the inner pocket of his clothes, which was the innermost, zippered and most confidential pocket of the clothes.

Until now, Tang Mo had a total of two rare items. One is the archiver turkey eggs, and the other is the king’s gold coins.

Every rare item uses its sky-defying function to tell Tang Mo in the simplest and rude way why it has a rare quality. Even if it was the king’s gold coin, it was a one-time item, but the function of “abstaining from any black tower game” was enough to make Tang Mo unable to calm down.

“You can’t use it casually, you can’t use it until the last minute.” Tang Mo thought, “For example, in the game of whack-a-mole, you can’t use it even if you haven’t caught a golden gopher. Only when you are about to be beaten to death by Grandma Wolf use.”

There are pros and cons to this tool. Its benefits are obvious, and it is equivalent to giving Tang Mo a gold medal for avoiding death. But its disadvantages are hard to detect, but not for nothing. With a back way, players may not try so hard when playing the game, and they will be desperate when they encounter danger. Because he will always think: I still have a chance to abstain.

The king’s gold coin must be used on the tip of the knife, and it must not be used unless it is not fatal.

With two new props, Tang Mo lay contentedly on the cold floor of the clothing store, gradually feeling a little sleepy. He hasn’t had a good night’s sleep since being notified of the tower attack game half a month ago. In the seven days of catching golden gophers, he never closed his eyes. Now that the game is finally over, Tang Mo slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

But even in his sleep, his whole body was tense, and if there was any change, he would react immediately.

A good night’s dream.

“boom–”

The sound of a giant falling to the ground hit the ground, Tang Mo opened his eyes suddenly, and put his hand on the big match. He listened quietly for a while, and found that the sound was coming from outside the clothing store. He picked up the backpack, walked to the door of the store lightly, covered his body with a cardboard box, and looked out quietly.

The sky was bright, it was already early morning.

In the corridor on the second floor opposite, a young woman in a dress looked at the front in horror. The position she was looking at happened to be the blind spot of Tang Mo’s vision, and there was no way to know what she was looking at. The woman stepped back step by step, sticking her whole body to the glass fence in the corridor of the mall.

This glass fence was broken in half, and several potted plants were placed in front of the other glass fences. Except for the glass fence behind the woman, some soil was scattered on the ground, and the potted plants disappeared.

Tang Mo judged: The thing that fell just now was probably a potted plant.

The young woman covered her mouth in fear, her body trembling. The next second, she suddenly turned around and ran, shouting mournfully: “They’re here too! They’re here, they’re here!!!”

The young woman ran away quickly, but after a while, Tang Mo heard a few more voices in the mall.

Four more people ran away from the mall.

Tang Mo frowned. He waited for a while to make sure that no one ran out again. He took out the big match with one hand, held the giant match, and walked out of the clothing store. When he left the clothing store and looked at the corridor on the second floor opposite, the blood solidified on the floor of the corridor came into view.

Tang Mo’s heart tightened, and he took the match and walked to the second floor opposite.

The scenes blocked by the floor were finally exposed to Tang Mo’s field of vision. He finally knew what the young woman saw just now.

In front of the cash register of a milk tea shop, a middle-aged man fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, staring straight ahead in disbelief. A large hole was dug out in his chest, and blood flowed down the wound, staining his clothes red and bleeding all over the place.

And in that dark blood hole, his heart was gone.

Tang Mo held back his nausea and stepped forward to check the man’s wound.

The heart was forcibly torn off, the ribs were shattered into powder, and the blood vessels were obviously lacerated.

Tang Mo looked around again, he searched for ten minutes on the second and first floors, and finally found the heart beside the stairs on the first floor. To be precise, only half of the heart is left. It seems to have been eaten by something, the heart was bitten in half and thrown on the ground.

After the earth went online, murders were not uncommon, and a corpse was seen almost every three days. But killing people in this way might even…may eat half of their hearts.

An ominous premonition surged in Tang Mo’s heart.

Of course he didn’t know that at this moment, in the west of Shanghai, a short, fat man was pulling his thin bamboo-like companion and hiding in a car. They keep their heads down as much as possible without revealing their position.

In the narrow space, the breathing of the two boys was extremely heavy, and their hearts were beating violently.

“Zhao… Zhao Zi’ang, are your hands okay?” The boy with bamboo poles trembled.

At this moment, the little fat man’s right arm was cut with a deep bone-deep wound, and thick blood dripped on the ground along his arm. He covered the wound, preventing the blood from dripping on the ground and making a sound. His voice was very hoarse: “No…it’s fine. Let’s go back, we can’t go to the west, they are from the west. After they leave, we will go back to find Shanshan and Brother Mo.”

The bamboo pole boy nodded heavily: “Okay!”

The little fat man gritted his teeth and wanted to say something else when suddenly, a sharp laughter came from above their heads.

“Oh, I found it.”
