Jie Fangcheng? Who is that
Nie Shuangshuang went over the name in her mind and made sure that she had never heard of this name before.
"So you are very good? How many times have you cleared the level? What segment are you in the leaderboard? What are your personal skills? Which guild are you from? Have you cleared a large dungeon?" Nie Shuangshuang asked a bunch of questions in a row.
She spoke too fast, so Jie Fangcheng picked out the part of her answer that he could hear most clearly: "Very impressive."
As he said this he gave himself a thumbs up.
"?" Nie Shuangshuang had a confused expression and first looked at Aunt Li who was standing beside her.
Aunt Li didn't know where this young man came from. Her last memory was that Jie Fangcheng was cheated away by the people from the Yuedu Guild.
This must be a newcomer...
But seeing how straightforward Jie Fangcheng's answer was, with his thumb raised so straight, Aunt Li didn't want to hurt his self-esteem, so she could only say vaguely, "Young man, you are indeed full of energy."
When Nie Shuangshuang heard what Aunt Li said, she immediately understood. Aunt Li probably didn't know the boy's origins.
"Hey! Want to show me how to fight?" Nie Shuangshuang was impatient and immediately started to fight.
Jie Fangcheng nibbled on the pancake and put it aside only after he finished his bite.
"Come."
He seemed so relaxed and confident, that Nie Shuangshuang immediately became alert, kicked off, and distanced herself from him as fast as an arrow.
Then she took out a strangely shaped fan and gently fanned Jie Fangcheng.
After all, it was just a gesture, not a real intention to kill anyone. The fine hair-like spikes from the fan brushed past his ears and shot into the ground beside him, making a series of noises. The originally flat ground instantly became like tofu dregs that had been squeezed dry of water, and collapsed.
Nie Shuangshuang couldn't help but let out a "Damn".
Is that all her strength? She had already prepared to launch a series of moves, but the opponent was still standing there motionless as if he hadn't reacted.
Jie Fangcheng was also depressed: "Aren't you supposed to show off? Why are you running?"
Nie Shuangshuang: "?? I was just testing you and you couldn't even keep up! And you still say you're awesome??"
Jie Fangcheng looked even more depressed: "If you want to fight, just fight. It's not a race. You have to see who can run faster."
Nie Shuangshuang put away the fan speechlessly: "What are you saying? If you are not fast enough, can you outrun the BOSS in the dungeon? If you can't outrun the BOSS, how can you pass the dungeon?"
The BOSSes in the game are more ferocious than each other. If you can't outrun the BOSS, you'll be dead. How can you be a powerful person with such a slow speed
In this game, those who run fast may not be the big guys, but the big guys are definitely not slow, this is an iron rule.
Nie Shuangshuang's words really left Jie Fangcheng speechless.
He also sighed with emotion: "I can't run faster."
Nie Shuangshuang looked at him.
How come this person speaks so modestly and arrogantly... He doesn't seem to be annoying at all.
Nie Shuangshuang looked at his face and thought for a moment: "You want to place this order too? That's fine."
Originally, Nie Shuangshuang wanted to find another person to take with her, as a double insurance.
In fact, if it is a level one dungeon, as long as she doesn't encounter a BOSS that is too powerful, she can handle it now.
She had also read the walkthrough for this dungeon [Fulai Inn]. Although the NPCs were strong, there was actually no need to fight them, and there was no need to confront the BOSS.
In this case, it doesn't matter if you bring another one, and Jie Fangcheng's face has a huge advantage in this copy, so bringing him along can be considered as a safety measure.
Before last year's national copy, she even dared not to buy copy fragments and directly brought Aunt Li into the copy.
Not now.
Nie Shuangshuang looked at Jie Fangcheng: "I can help you pass the level, but I have conditions."
"What conditions?"
"After you clear the level, you have to give me the points for this dungeon." Nie Shuangshuang counted on his fingers for him, "This dungeon fragment is worth a total of 320,000, and this is still a friendly price. Others would charge 400,000. The highest points you can get for clearing this dungeon is 40,000 to 50,000. It's worth it to me."
Jie Fangcheng was startled: "Are you sure you want my points for clearing this level?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Do you agree or not?" Nie Shuangshuang asked.
Jie Fangcheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why don't I just transfer 50,000 to you first."
Nie Shuangshuang immediately refused: "No, I just want the points of your book."
"That's not good... What if it's really low?"
Nie Shuangshuang said seriously: "Then I admit it."
This is mainly because there is a guide for this book, and if you can get an S-level rating, you will have at least 100,000 points.
Jie Fangcheng didn't know what Nie Shuangshuang was thinking, but since the other party was so insistent, Jie Fangcheng could only nod reluctantly: "Okay then."
Nie Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief, and then was stunned for a moment.
With the fragments of this level of copy, the survival rate of the copy is greatly improved. With me escorting her, if it were someone else, I would probably give her 100,000 on the spot for fear that she would regret it.
Now it’s good...
Nie Shuangshuang suddenly felt like she had suffered a huge loss.
Forget it…
Nie Shuangshuang was impatient and had already started helping Aunt Li clean up the stall.
"Okay then, let's go now!"
"Ah? So fast?"
"Going down a dungeon is not like going to visit a grave. Do I have to go back to bathe and burn incense?"
That makes sense.
Jie Fangcheng always felt like he had forgotten something, but Nie Shuangshuang had already quickly cleaned up Aunt Li's stall, and then waved to another stall owner selling bowl-shaped cakes not far away.
"Brother Han, please help us put our stall in the union! We'll go to the next dungeon and it will be out in a week!"
Han nodded at her.
Nie Shuangshuang snapped her fingers: "Let's go!"
Aunt Li was more cautious and couldn't help asking, "Shuangshuang, would you like to tell us about the situation in this instance first? We can prepare for it first."
The original purpose of collecting this dungeon fragment was to allow Aunt Li to gain some dungeon experience, or at least get familiar with the feel of the dungeon. After all, for life players like Aunt Li, they usually only rely on their life skills to earn a little points to survive in the base, and they almost never have the opportunity to go to the dungeon except for the national dungeon.
The national copy is a random copy and cannot be formed into a team, so Nie Shuangshuang can’t lead her even if she wants to.
At this time, Aunt Li wanted to know the copy, and Nie Shuangshuang was very straightforward. She took out a stack of A4 paper and handed it to her. She also took out another stack very considerately: "Here, take a look at it too."
With the guide, this dungeon is simple, but no matter how simple it is, it is still a dungeon of a horror game, so it is always a good idea to be more prepared.
But the person she stuffed the paper into looked terrified and his movements became much more agile.
"No, no, no." Jie Fangcheng refused.
Nie Shuangshuang was angry: "Don't think that everything will be fine as long as I am here! There are still some tasks in this copy that you need to complete by yourself! Hurry and take a look!!"
Jie Fangcheng took the A4 paper with a painful look on his face.
Nie Shuangshuang muttered angrily: "I asked someone to buy all this information. A guide outside costs more than 10,000 points! I let you read it for free and you are not willing to read it. What kind of person is this..."
Jie Fangcheng's expression was painful and didn't seem fake: "I'm not going to visit the grave, why do I have to look at the paper?"
Damn it!
Nie Shuangshuang roared: "If you don't read it now, you will be in trouble if you enter the dungeon! Look! Read it quickly! Memorize it! This is information worth 10,000 points!!!"
The players who had not left the base all looked sideways.
At this time, a weird voice came from not far away.
"Hey, isn't this Team Leader Nie? Is he leading people to another dungeon?"
Jie Fangcheng turned his head in the direction of the voice and was stunned.
What is this? Cosplay
Although players have their own guilds, very few guilds provide uniform guild uniforms - the ones in the Tsukuyomi guild don't count, as those are ready-made suits produced in large batches by the system and can be bought and worn by anyone.
But what the four people in front of me were wearing looked like they had been custom-made.
A black cloak with a sickle sewn on it and gold thread sewn on the edge. It is made very delicately, but no matter how you look at it, it seems that he is in a different dimension from the people around him, very childish.
But Jie Fangcheng felt that these people were dressed strangely and looked like some psychopaths. The surrounding players all had different expressions after seeing them. It was obvious that these cloaked people were of great importance.
Although Nie Shuangshuang was originally roaring in anger, she was not really angry.
But at this moment, she looked at the person who said this calmly, and then turned her head and said, "Let's go."
Obviously he doesn't want to bother with it.
Four cloaked men quickly surrounded them, and the one leading them smiled in a way that made people feel disgusted at first sight.
"Hey, Team Leader Nie, we are old acquaintances after all. Why are you ignoring me when you see me? Oh, could it be that you have become more ambitious after switching to the Professional League? But it is true that in the national dungeon next year, the Professional League may become the second largest union."
Nie Shuangshuang looked at him coldly: "Zhou Qiyi, please be careful with your words."
"What should I pay attention to?" Zhou Qiyi smiled, "Could it be possible that President Zhang can come back to life and lead Ronghua back to second place?"
With a "clang", Nie Shuangshuang grabbed his neck and kicked him hard with her foot, knocking him to the ground.
"Keep your mouth clean."
Zhou Qiyi just raised his eyebrows: "Team Leader Nie, you don't think you are still the 'crazy rabbit' ranked 27th on the standings, do you? People whose strength has been downgraded - you should have the awareness of being a weak person!"
Zhou Qiyi exerted force suddenly, and the exposed skin on his body suddenly turned into rock. His hands turned into hard and heavy stone palms, and he knocked Nie Shuangshuang to the ground. Then he slapped Nie Shuangshuang in the face with his palms.
At this moment, Zhou Qiyi's wrist was grabbed by a hand.
The hand that grasped his wrist looked very pale, with only a little bit of blood on the fingertips, as if it had not seen the sun for years. At this time, the muscles and bones on the back of the hand were highlighted as the owner moved, and it did not look very strong, forming a sharp contrast with the rock-like wrist.
But it was this pair of pale and fragile hands that stopped Zhou Qiyi from slapping him.
Zhou Qiyi was stunned for a moment, then he exerted force suddenly.
Not moving at all.
The person who restrained him didn't seem to use much strength, but he made it impossible for him to even pull his hand away.
Jie Fangcheng frowned: "Who is this?"
Nie Shuangshuang got up from the ground and brushed off the dust on herself.
"From the Death God Guild."
"Oh." Jie Fangcheng nodded and asked, "What is the Death God Guild?"
Zhou Qiyi was angry: "Don't you know about the Death God Guild?"
Jie Fangcheng was stunned: "Your union is very famous? Which of the three buildings?"
He also thought about it seriously.
There is one building for the Chaoyang Union, one building for the Ronghua Union, one building for the Professional League, and is there another building for the Grim Reaper hidden in the corners of the three buildings
“Fuck!” Zhou Qiyi was furious. “Our Death God Guild ranked fourth in the national dungeon ranking last year!!”
"Only fourth place?" Jie Fangcheng was speechless. "I thought your union was first. We ordinary people only remember the top three, don't you understand?"
"Puchi." Nie Shuangshuang laughed.
Zhou Qiyi stared at him: "You're done."
Everyone knows how to threaten people, but Jie Fangcheng is an expert in this area.
He smiled slightly: "You can finish it now, do you want to try it?"
Zhou Qiyi looked unhappy.
He ranks 124th on the standings and is one of the vice presidents of the Death God Guild.
Everyone knows the strength of the Death God Guild. Who dares to provoke him
This guy doesn't look familiar, but he seems quite capable. I wonder which guild he belongs to...
"Which union are you from?"
"Ah." Jie Fangcheng thought for a moment, "What a coincidence, I'm in the same business as you."
"What?" Zhou Qiyi was confused.
Jie Fangcheng smiled: "I'm from the underworld."
Zhou Qiyi looked at him coldly: "I will remember you."
Xie Fangcheng turned around and asked Nie Shuangshuang: "Are you still going to hit him? If not, I'll let him go."
Nie Shuangshuang felt refreshed.
She and Zhou Qiyi had a conflict before when they were clearing the same dungeon, but at that time the Ronghua Guild was in its heyday, and her items and skills had not been downgraded, so Zhou Qiyi didn't dare to do anything.
Later, when the glory was gone, villains like Zhou Qiyi were always around and annoying people like flies.
Even though I didn’t beat this guy up today, it was really satisfying to watch him get humiliated!
Nie Shuangshuang looked at Jie Fangcheng.
Even though I get so pissed off when talking to this guy, it’s really refreshing to watch him piss people off!
Nie Shuangshuang shook her head: "Let go."
Jie Fangcheng really relaxed after hearing this.
Before Zhou Qiyi could say anything else, Jie Fangcheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Zhou, everyone is the protagonist. Don't let yourself become a cannon fodder that people hate!"
After saying that, the three of them stepped into the teleportation point and quickly disappeared.
Zhou Qiyi stood there in a daze. It took him a while to come back to his senses and curse.
.
[Ding—You have entered the new copy: Fulai Inn. ]
[Instance: Fulai Inn (Level 1)]
[Introduction: Fulai City has recently decorated its doors with lanterns and colorful decorations to celebrate the 100th birthday of the city lord's only son! He has widely sent out invitations, inviting everyone to bring their children to attend the 100th day banquet. But for some reason, there have been many cases of children going missing in the city recently. Parents, please protect your children! ]
[Content: You bring a gift for the city lord and your own child, and stay at Fulai Inn as a guest. This is the largest inn in the city. It is said that the proprietress has a magical lamp oil. As long as the lamp oil is lit all night, it can prevent the child from being stolen. Go and try it! ]
[Clearance conditions: Successfully attend the 100-day banquet of the city lord's son. ]
[The highest survival rate in the history of this instance is higher than 20%, the system will no longer provide reminders. ]
A white light flashed.
Jie Fangcheng opened his eyes and found that he and five or six players were sitting in a carriage.
The carriage was shaking, and Aunt Li and Nie Shuangshuang were not there.
But judging from the sounds around, there were four or five carriages nearby, so it was estimated that they were in other carriages.
While in Jie Fangcheng's car, Jie Fangcheng took a look at the expressions of the players around him - three parts of fear, three parts of confusion, and four parts of helplessness.
Obviously they are all newcomers.
Jie Fangcheng scratched his head: "Uh...are they all new here?"
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his 40s or 50s immediately answered: "Yes, that's right. What's your name, young man?"
As he spoke, his hands moved reflexively. It was obvious that he had no cigarette, because if he had, he would have handed it to me long ago.
"Okay, okay, uh... Jie Fangcheng."
"Oh." The middle-aged man looked at him expectantly, ready to listen to his speech.
The other four players had the same expression.
Jie Fangcheng was instantly overwhelmed and missed the previous dungeons very much. Either there were veteran players like Qi Chanyang giving speeches in front, or everyone was a veteran player and there was no need for him to say anything.
"Ahem..." Jie Fangcheng was distressed and held it in for a long time, "This is just a horror game, it's not bad, then how about you guys... wait and listen to what other veteran players have to say?"
The players were shocked.
Jie Fangcheng really didn't know how to do this, so he continued dryly: "Well, you'll know what's going on after you clear the level once. Don't be afraid, you've died once anyway..."
Everyone looked painful after hearing this.
The middle-aged man seemed to have often done some organizational work in his life. He quickly grasped the key point at this time: "Brother, let me ask you something. We just got here and have passed the novice guidance mission. We roughly know what's going on, but I don't know if this game has any rules or something like that?"
"Oh, yes." Jie Fangcheng answered straightforwardly. He vaguely remembered some unspoken rules that Qi Chanyang had mentioned before, and he recited them verbatim, adding a little of his own thoughts. "Generally speaking, you won't die if you listen to the NPCs, but of course this is not absolute. I suggest you listen selectively, and you can just ignore some of their words. What else... Oh, by the way, don't go out at night... Actually, it's not that bad, it's not that dangerous at night, it depends on the situation."
Middle-aged man: “…”
The middle-aged man forced a smile: "Little brother is really... really..."
It's really hard to praise it in any way, it's like saying nothing.
The middle-aged man asked again: "Then generally speaking, how do we clear the dungeon?"
Jie Fangcheng was very honest: "Generally speaking, it is more convenient to kill the boss."
Middle-aged man: “…”
There was silence in the car.
Everyone didn't know what to say for a moment. Those who were more thoughtful were still speculating, was this old player really so... that, or was it because he just didn't want to tell them
To be honest, Jie Fangcheng's understanding of this game is divided.
But at the same time, he knew much less about the game than most players. New players would have a guidance mission, which he had never experienced.
In addition, Jie Fangcheng's idea of passing the level is very different from that of ordinary players. While other players are racking their brains to crack the copy and complete the level, Jie Fangcheng is holding his stick and tearing down the wall.
What? This dungeon has rules
At this time, Jie Fangcheng was even more confused than the new players around him.
The carriage was silent, and after rocking for five minutes it finally stopped.
Jie Fangcheng was the first to lift the curtain and jump out. When he landed, he happened to be on a carriage next to him, and Nie Shuangshuang was also jumping down.
This shows the stark difference between Nie Shuangshuang, the veteran player, and Jie Fangcheng.
Behind her, the players jumped off the carriage one by one. They were obviously newcomers, and they were cautious and careful, yet quite organized.
There were five cars in total, and finally thirty players came down, including six veteran players.
Nie Shuangshuang was obviously very famous. As soon as she appeared, the remaining three old players immediately greeted her, and it seemed that she was the leader.
In the past, Nie Shuangshuang often led members of the union to go on dungeons, and was very familiar with this kind of leadership position.
She looked up at the inn in front of her.
This is an ancient building covering a large area, standing at the easternmost part of Fulai City.
The quaint town looked somewhat desolate and dilapidated. It was just dusk and there were not many people on the streets.
In contrast, the Fulai Inn in front of us looks magnificent, and from the door we can vaguely see a two-story building inside.
With so many strangers coming at this time, all the residents of Fulai City on the street were looking over here.
Nie held the strategy in both hands and did not linger for too long.
"Walk."
She led the way into the inn, followed closely by the players.
"A distinguished guest has arrived—"
The waiter in shorts came up to us and asked, "How many of you are there?"
"Thirty."
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Sir, you are here to attend the hundred-day banquet for our city lord's eldest son, right?"
"right."
The waiter looked at her, then at the players standing behind her: "Our city lord is hospitable and it is true that he invites guests, but our city lord also said that only those with young children are welcome to come. You want to stay at our Fulai Inn, it seems that something is missing, right?"
Sure enough, it’s exactly the same as in the guide.
In order not to disrupt the process in the strategy, Nie Shuangshuang asked: "We came here with our young son, but we were separated from him for some reason. I want to ask Brother Xiaoer if there is any way to find the child?"
The waiter then smiled and said, "You have asked the right person. We have such a powerful celestial master in Fulai City. If you ask her, she will definitely be able to help you solve your problems."
"I wonder where this Heavenly Master is?"
"If you go out and walk east, she lives next to the mass grave outside the city."
Mass graves...
Some of the new players couldn't help but take a step back.
Nie Shuangshuang thanked them and turned around. She glanced at the players and explained in a low voice, "You can't rest in the inn without children, but if you don't rest in the inn, you will die. Those who want to go to the mass grave with me can follow."
After saying that, she raised her leg and walked away.
The old players immediately followed suit. After all, mass graves were no longer scary places for old players.
Among the new players, some who had already accepted that they were dead, a fact of horror games, immediately chose to follow along.
Although some people were still immersed in the sorrow and pain of their own death, when they saw the other players followed Nie Shuangshuang, they were stunned for a moment and then followed them away.
Twenty-eight.
This batch of newcomers is pretty good.
This game is not suitable for the timid. Those who are too scared to walk when they hear about a mass grave are not suitable for survival in the game. Even if they survive the first copy with great difficulty, these timid newcomers will not survive the second one.
It would be better to die at the very beginning...
Nie Shuangshuang turned back suddenly.
The players also turned around, not knowing what was going on.
Behind everyone, a new player looked pale and was shaking all over.
Xie Yutong is a otaku and a socially anxious person. After graduation, he did not go to work in a company, but stayed at home and became a professional painter.
He was a timid person and had three dogs and two cats to keep him company. He would be scared to death if he heard any strange noise.
I'm timid to begin with, and now I've entered this kind of horror game... I'm heading to a mass grave as soon as I enter!
Even though he knew he would die if he didn't go, Xie Yutong's legs still held him firmly in place as if they were roots.
At this time, he discovered that there was another person beside him who had not left.
Xie Yutong tried to force a smile, but her smile was uglier than crying.
"You... you are too scared, so you can't leave?" Xie Yutong cried, "Then let's be companions..."
Jie Fangcheng readily agreed: "Okay."
He really didn't want to go and look for some Taoist priest to take the child away. That sounded like trouble.
It’s better to challenge the rules of the game, which seems a little simpler.
With a companion around, Xie Yutong felt like he wasn't that scared anymore.
He was trembling and originally didn't like to talk, but now he started to talk a lot.
"Before, my editor asked me to draw a horror comic, saying that this type of subject matter is very popular, but I refused... If I had known that this would happen, I would have agreed at that time, at least to accumulate some materials... Hey, what do you do for a living?"
"Oh, the manager of the finance department."
"Oh oh." This sounded like a real person. I don't know why he was as scared as me.
Xie Yutong spoke, not knowing whether he was cheering up Jie Fangcheng or himself: "Don't be afraid, if you don't have a child... If you don't stay at the Fulai Inn, you won't necessarily die, right?"
"yes."
"Tell me... why did that old player say that we would die if we don't have children? Is it because there are ghosts at night... Will the ghosts come out and kill us..."
"possible."
“… Why don’t you look that scared?”
Jie Fangcheng looked at him and said, "Cheer up, you are also a ghost now, what are you afraid of?"
Xie Yutong: “…”
Xie Yutong murmured to himself: "Yes, I am a ghost, but so what... Can I be more powerful than these ghosts... I couldn't compare to others when I was alive, so what can I do after I die... I'm really scared..."
Over there, Nie Shuangshuang, who was originally walking in front of the players, really wanted to fly to Jie Fangcheng in two steps and crush his head!
"Jie Fangcheng!!!" Nie Shuangshuang shouted.
Jie Fangcheng picked his ears and sighed helplessly, looking like a veteran in the workplace who was caught slacking off and had to reluctantly take two steps forward under the whipping of his boss.
Xie Yutong still had his head down, immersed in a feeling of despair and pessimism.
At this moment, he felt someone pushing him, and his legs, which had been firmly standing in place like roots, staggered and took two steps.
"Hey, stop grumbling and let's go."
After this push, Xie Fangcheng staggered and walked towards the main force reluctantly.
Looking at his back, Xie Yutong was stunned and involuntarily took two steps towards him.
After taking these two steps, it seemed as if the invisible shackles were broken.
Xie Yutong gritted his teeth and finally caught up with the main group.
In front, Jie Fangcheng finally stood beside Nie Shuangshuang.
Nie Shuangshuang was so angry that her fiery red hair seemed to be about to explode.
"What were you doing just now?? Let everyone come to the mass grave! Why didn't you come?!"
"Ah..." Jie Fangcheng frowned, "Why do we need to raise a child in this instance? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Nie Shuangshuang was so angry: "Is raising a child more important or life and death? Is raising a child more important or clearing a dungeon?! Is raising a child more important or keeping up with the main force?!!"
Jie Fangcheng is in pain: "It is more important not to raise children..."
Nie Shuangshuang: “…”
Ahh ...
As they were talking, everyone finally came out from the East Gate.
It was already late autumn, the branches on the road had all withered, and the sound of crows could be heard from somewhere all around, which seemed a bit scary under the dim yellow sunset that was about to drown out the sounds.
But with so many people around and the atmosphere a little scary, no one was too scared. Everyone was still willing to chat, make friends, and introduce themselves to each other.
Veteran players like Nie Shuangshuang walked in the front and just listened in silence.
He is really a newcomer. He even talked about the cause of his death and what job he did before he died.
Now when Nie Shuangshuang introduces herself, it is impossible for her to talk about the cause of her death. She will talk about the number of times she has cleared the level, the union she belonged to, and her personal skill level. She has almost forgotten what her job was before she died.
After all, in horror games, achievements before death are the least important.
This is basically the case for old players.
Just then, she heard Jie Fangcheng beside her turn around and join the discussion of the newcomers.
"Me? I used to be the manager of the finance department, in charge of accounting."
"How did he die? How can I explain this... If I must say, was it a work-related injury?"
"How many times have you completed the dungeon?"
Nie Shuangshuang was also a little curious about this question.
Although this person easily subdued Zhou Qiyi at the base, players have all kinds of personal skills, and it might be a defensive skill like "unmovable as a mountain".
However, if one can use personal skills in the base, it means that this person has previously obtained a good ranking in the national copy. After all, the personal skills and props that can be used in the base must be the ranking rewards of the national copy, and ordinary copy rewards cannot be used in the base.
But this person’s name is not very common. If he really appeared on the rankings, Nie Shuangshuang should have an impression of him.
This guy is so slow, it seems like he hasn't been strengthened by the system. It's really strange. I wonder how many times he has cleared the dungeon...
Jie Fangcheng held up two fingers, as if making a "yeah" gesture.
"twice."
Nie Shuangshuang: “…”
Nie Shuangshuang's teeth were itching again.
twice!!
How dare this person?!
Aunt Li, who was standing by, was not surprised to hear this answer and could even comfort Nie Shuangshuang.
“Shuangshuang, we’ve already entered the dungeon, so just be more positive, ah!”
Nie Shuangshuang looked up at the sky in silence.
At this moment, a terrified "Oh my God" was heard from the players.
Everyone found that they had arrived at a mass grave.
The red light of the setting sun had completely disappeared. Although it was not yet dark, a cold and desolate feeling had already emerged.
The originally clearly visible path has disappeared, and the end of the road is the mass grave.
From a distance, players with good eyesight could already see the white bones on the ground. Every few meters there was a half-buried skeleton in the soil.
Nie Shuangshuang didn't say anything and took the lead to step onto this land.
The soil under my feet was wet, as if it had rained not long ago.
A tattered white soul-guiding banner is inserted here, and it sways with the wind, as if an lingering ghost is waving at you.
"Ah!" A short scream came from the players behind them. Everyone looked and saw a skull.
Perhaps someone stepped on it carelessly, the skull spun twice on the ground, and finally stopped, looking at the players with its two empty eye sockets.
The players, who just now seemed to be at a large-scale dating scene, were now trembling with fear. Some of the timid ones even covered their mouths, tears welling up in their eyes due to fear.
Overhead, more and more crows were circling, making unpleasant noises.
The newcomers finally began to realize that this was no longer the real world.
They died and entered this horror game after death.
"Am I going to have to go through this forever..." someone cried.
More people are silent.
Everyone knows the answer in their hearts. Not many people can calmly accept their own death. Infinite Games gives everyone an opportunity.
Even if this opportunity seems not only slim but also extremely terrifying, as long as there is still a chance, most people want to give it a try.
Just as the player group was silent, a voice answered him: "No."
Jie Fangcheng said, "You can still be professional players. If you can bake cakes, you can bake cakes. If you can build houses, you can afford to eat without investing money. Then you don't have to face these things."
Nie Shuangshuang couldn't help but interrupt him: "But there are also national copies every year."
Jie Fangcheng suddenly realized: "Yes."
After that, he asked, "I've wanted to ask this before, what is a national dungeon? Is it necessary to participate?"
Damn it!
Nie Shuangshuang was really convinced.
This is really a newbie who has only completed the game twice!
Aunt Li explained, "The National Dungeon is an annual event in the game that lasts for three days. Every player must choose a time to participate. The points and item rewards are generous, and compared to ordinary dungeons, the difficulty of the National Dungeon is lower, and the dungeon clearance situation will be broadcast live on the big screen at the base."
"Oh." Jie Fangcheng nodded and asked, "What will happen if I don't participate?"
"They will be wiped out directly."
"Wow, so fierce?"
"yes."
"Who wiped it out?"
"Well… "
"Stop chatting!" Nie Shuangshuang couldn't help it.
Everyone has arrived at the Tianshi's door. Looking at how they are chatting, all they need is a handful of melon seeds each.
The place where the Taoist priest lived was a rectangular wooden house, which looked very unlucky from the outside, like a coffin.
Nie Shuangshuang reached out and knocked on the door: "Hello, we are guests here to attend the Hundred Days Banquet of the City Lord's eldest son, but our child is lost, can you please help us find him?"
There was no answer from inside the house.
This is different from what is said in the guide...
Nie Shuangshuang frowned and knocked on the door again.
Still no one spoke.
She moved her ears and listened to the sounds in the room, and then her expression gradually became a little ugly.
Nie Shuangshuang took a deep breath, put his hand on the door, and activated his personal skills.
Click, the door opened.
The room was dark, and because there were no windows, there was no light at all.
But after being strengthened by the system so many times, Nie Shuangshuang still scanned the room at a glance.
The guides she got from the Chaoyang Union and the Professional Alliance told her that the Taoist priest would give each player a paper man and ask them to drip their blood onto the paper. The paper man would then turn into a paper doll, and these paper dolls would allow them to enter the inn as they wished.
This paper doll is their "child".
They are non-aggressive, fragile and thin, and need protection. They need to keep lights on at night to stay alive.
How to keep the lights burning is one difficulty, and the second difficulty is how to get the gift for the city lord's son... But these are not the main points.
Because the most critical step to pass the dungeon, and the only step players can take, is to find the token of love between the Heavenly Master and the City Lord, and let the Heavenly Master take action against the City Lord. Only in this way can players survive the Hundred Days Banquet of the City Lord's eldest son.
But now—
The room was empty.
The Taoist priest who was supposed to be waiting for the player to come to the house... is gone.
