Arcade of Death

Chapter 292: Buck shows up

Views:

With a nervous mood, Yi Xuan came to the street again with a blue exclamation mark. It was a bit late at this time, and the sun had dropped to the horizontal level, and the sea was plated with a beautiful golden yellow.

Generally, after nightfall, there are fewer players, so Yi Xuan has to wait for a long time this time. Yi Xuan moved his sore legs and looked around boredly. There were NPCs who came back late and looked tired. Coolies, fishermen carrying fishing nets, and sailors who are excited to come ashore to buy drunk.

Everyone didn’t even look at Yi Xuan who was standing at the entrance of the street. Suddenly, through the bustling crowd, a man in a black trench coat caught Yi Xuan’s attention. Unlike the similar clothes of these NPCs, this person is obviously a player. Currently the only player within Yi Xuan's field of vision, can't let him run away. Yi Xuan stared at that person, slowly walking towards that person.

Although he wanted to get close to the player quickly and let him see the characters, Yi Xuan did not dare to be too obvious. He slowly swayed past and came to the back of the man in black, but the man in black looked at the sunset in front of him. He didn't even pay attention.

It seems that he needs to pay more attention. Yi Xuan moved forward, and he was already on the side of the man in black. This change of position didn’t matter. Yi Xuan suddenly felt that this person’s profile was familiar, but he just thought for a while. I can't get up where I have seen it, is it one of the people who chased him down? The worry in Yi Xuan's heart hesitated and stopped going forward.

At this moment, the person seemed to look back, and suddenly came face to face with Yi Xuan. Seeing the person's appearance, Yi Xuan was taken aback, and the vague memory in his mind instantly became clear. "It's you!?" Yi Xuan glared his eyes, with a look of surprise on his face. The situation was more frightening than hell.

"Are you that...?" Before he could finish his words, the man in black recognized Yi Xuan, his face suddenly changed, and he turned and ran.

When he ran, Yi Xuan instinctively chased after him, yelling: "Stop for me, stop for me." He stepped quickly. This was the first time Yi Xuan entered the game and gave up when thinking about problems. The identity of his own NPC, he was always scrupulous at any time before, even in the midst of a crisis, he still considered not wanting the player to discover the secret of his intelligence, but at this moment he can't care so much, and his feet are getting faster and faster. .

The man in black was extremely fast, and he ran away in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, there were talents on the street to stop him. Yi Xuan saw that he was going to lose his speed. However, he didn't expect that the man's agility was better than him. He made a sharp turn and ran into a small alley. When Yi Xuan chased him in, he found that there was no one inside, and he was gone.

Yi Xuan unwillingly checked back and forth in the alley to make sure there was no figure hidden inside, and kicked a basket next to him fiercely. If this person is an ordinary player, it would be fine, this person is actually It was the man in black that Yi Xuan had seen in the bar outside the game hall. Yi Xuan still remembered turning around and cursing the man. Soon afterwards, he met again in the corridor of the American hospital, but this time in black. Man saved himself and Neo.

It was also a reminder from the man that he was full of yearning for the second floor, but he didn’t expect it to be like this after entering the second floor. At a time when Yi Xuan thought he was just being deceived by a player on the first floor, because if He is really a player on the second floor, how can he appear in reality

But I didn’t expect that I actually met him here today. If this is the case, things seem to be more complicated. Did he just enter the second floor or stay on the second floor? If he just entered, look. Why did you run away? If it was before, why can you switch between reality and game? Is it also like a businessman, a stowaway player? Or maybe he has passed the trial and is completely out of the game.

And what puzzled Yi Xuan the most was that although it was only a short contact just now, Yi Xuan was sure to see that the top of the man in black was definitely the color of the player's name. Is it really the same as his original inference, these players In fact, it is also the player who rose from the first floor to the second floor? It had already been clearly inferred in his mind, because of the appearance of the man in black, he became confusing again at this time. Next time he has time, he must talk to Zhao Beifeng in detail.

There must be something he hadn't noticed, Yi Xuan thought in his heart, fell into deep thought, and depressed he checked the alley from side to side again. Only then did Yi Xuan turn around one step at a time and walked towards the road outside.

He didn't see that in the shadow above his head, a person whose whole body was hidden in the dark shadow was stroking his chest, suppressing his breathing, until Yi Xuan's figure completely walked out of the alley, this man finally exhaled: " so close."

Yi Xuan came to the streets of Port Karin again, and the big blue exclamation mark on his head still did not disappear, but Yi Xuan was a little surprised at this moment. The reality of this man in black was too strange, and the truth hidden behind it was even more strange. It was because Yi Xuan couldn't guess what he thought.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" A small 18th-level warrior came to Yi Xuan's eyes. It was almost night before his eyes. There was still a task to pick up, and he was still an NPC that he hadn't seen before.

Yi Xuanwu thought to himself, but didn't pay attention to him for a while. The little soldier hurriedly took another two steps and came to Yi Xuan's eyes: "Hello, what can I do for you?"

This sentence was so loud that it called Yi Xuan back to reality. Regardless of the identity of the man in black, this test is still to be done. Yi Xuan temporarily put aside his thoughts, raised his head and said to the player: " Yes, I have a letter here and I want to trouble you to send it to Buck." He took out a folded letter from his arms.

The player heard that it was just a simple letter sending task, and the reward was quite generous. He was overjoyed and quickly reached out and took it, "Okay, this matter is for me."

"Well, I will wait for your reply on the second floor of the hotel." Yi Xuan said, turning and walking towards the hotel, still lingering about the black man in his heart.

Besides, this player walked towards the harbor with a letter. Although Yi Xuan didn't tell him where Buck lives, all the players knew that the harbor was the place with the most news. But today, the little fighter seems to be lucky. Not so good. There are many NPCs in the harbor and resident NPCs in the harbor. They haven't left their duties because of the approaching night, but no one has heard of Buck's name.

In this way, it might be the aboriginals in the town. The soldier hurried back to the town. He walked around the tavern and tea room where all the crowds live, and stopped a few players to ask again, but No one knows Buck’s name. It’s hard to break this little warrior. He simply went offline and posted a reward on the forum, and then waited. There were a lot of posts, but it was not a post or a chat. It turned out to be a positive one. No one answered the question. There is also a senior newcomer who is said to have been in the 20th level in Port Karin, but he has never heard of Buck's name, and has never encountered this strange letter delivery mission.

But this little warrior still didn't give up. Since the NPC gave the task, there must be this person. Since a new expansion has been released recently, will this Buck and this NPC be the content of the new expansion? If this is the case, it's not surprising that others don't know.

So the little warrior returned to Port Carlin and searched for a room by room without believing in evil. After an hour, the night finally covered the earth. The little warrior came to the second floor of the hotel with a sad expression and found it without much effort. Yi Xuan sitting alone in the room.

"How is it? Did you send my letter to Buck?" Yi Xuan took a sip of the wine on the table and asked without lifting his butt. Even if he didn't look at the other person's expression, Yi Xuan knew that things would definitely not be done. Because this Buck is just a fictional character by himself, according to the feedback of the first letter, Yi Xuan does not expect the system to create a character for himself just because of a random letter. There is still this task to do. .

"I should have searched the streets and alleys of Port Carlin, but I didn't find a person named Buck at all." The little soldier is still making his last effort: "Why don't you tell me Buck's residence directly, it is also very convenient. I will help you deliver the letter accurately, okay?"

address? Yi Xuan didn't know where the address was, but he didn't want to waste his words explaining to the other party. He simply angrily said, "What? You didn't find it. You really disappointed me."

Yi Xuan didn't answer the other party's question at all, stood up and stretched out his hand to the soldier, "In that case, please return the letter to me."

At the same time, a system prompt popped up in front of the little warrior's eyes: System prompt: A trivial matter of Master Yi, the mission failed.

"What? Hey, don't take it back, I'll go out and look for it again, or if you think about it, this person named Buck, can't you remember it wrong, right?" But after a few screams He still found in vain that the letter on his body had returned to Yi Xuan's hands. It seemed that more than an hour was a waste of work, but what made him most angry was that it was obviously just a simple letter delivery task. Deeply dissatisfied and intensely unwilling, the little soldier turned around and walked downstairs one step at a time.

Although Yi Xuan was the instigator of this incident, looking at the figure of the little warrior, he felt sympathy for him. Think about his experience of doing errands for NPCs when playing games. Sometimes, if an NPC can't be found. , That can be really depressing.

When the player disappeared, Yi Xuan took out a notebook from his arms with a smile. This notebook was made by using parchment paper the player bought for him. Although the binding was simple, it was also small and practical.

This is also the method he came up with after experiencing his death yesterday. Since the memory itself is something that can lie, it is better to leave some tangible evidence for himself. Therefore, Yi Xuan decided to take everything that happened in the game in the future. Try to record it as much as possible, so that if something messes up in your memory one day, you will have evidence to check.

Yi Xuan wrote the two tests done today, and wrote the results, and finally concluded: Now it seems that the system will not be affected by his sentence, and it will generate an object or a new character. Come, but I really changed Zhao Beifeng’s identity and background because of my relationship, so obviously this matter must have a certain degree of influence, so tomorrow I will continue to publish tasks until this task reaches a certain degree of influence. , And the person Buck is really produced.

Yi Xuan used to spend a lot of time to get to the Tower of Darkness. Although he could eat to replenish his energy, Yi Xuan still felt that his sleep made him feel more at ease, so he slept well in the hotel for a good night. The next day it was bright. I immediately went outside to continue posting the task. This time Yi Xuan increased the original three silver coins to five silver coins. For the mail delivery task, it was really generous, so someone soon started to take the bait.

First was a hunter, then a mage, and then a full-level fighter. It was estimated that he was waiting for someone, so he took a task and did it casually. Then Yi Xuan met the little soldier who took up his mission yesterday. It seems that this little soldier is still unwilling to give up. After seeing Yi Xuan, he immediately went forward and took the mission again. Anyway, in order to increase his influence, Yi Xuan could not refuse. When he is free, Yi Xuan records the number of people taking on tasks in his pamphlet.

So by noon, more than a dozen people had already taken over their own delivery tasks, and Yi Xuan had to copy this task item again and again. Fortunately, this copy option didn't cost much, it was a function of the NPC itself. .

After more than an hour, some people gradually came back to hand in the task. Without exception, they ended up in failure. There were some cursing, some unwilling, and of course there were many suspicious ones. But NPC, just ask. Xuan said only those few words, and they could only admit that they were unlucky.

However, although many people failed in the mission, Yi Xuan found an interesting phenomenon. After some players heard about this unfinished mission, many people came here and wanted to challenge it. Some people thought that they had only accepted it. Only the person on the mission can see Buck, and some people begin to speculate that Buck may not be a human being. For a while, there is a lot of discussion in the player channel, and there are divergent opinions, but for the time being, this discussion is limited to Carlin Port.

Although more and more people come to take up the task, Yi Xuan is still increasing the amount of rewards. This is also a means to expand the impact. If it is only a few silver coins, although it is lively now, it may not be a few days. This task was over soon, so Yi Xuan kept increasing his reward. By the afternoon, it had already increased from three silver coins to one gold coin. However, Yi Xuan was still a little worried enough, after all, it had an impact. The mission was made up by myself and turned into an epic mission.

But this reward is not a small amount for players. For players who upgrade near Carlin Port and generally only have more than ten levels, a gold coin is definitely a huge sum of money, even if it is more than thirty levels. For advanced players, a gold coin is not a small amount. After all, currency is scarce in this game, and a piece of top equipment is only tens or hundreds of gold coins. At this time, the number of people in Yi Xuan's record who accepted the task but did not give up has reached more than 30. Looking at this number, Yi Xuan decided to close the stall earlier. Otherwise, if the system really produces characters, wouldn't he be bankrupt

It was still dark, Yi Xuan returned to the second floor of the hotel to rest early, and enriched the content of his diary, which was considered to have completed the task of the day. Yi Xuan went to bed early, not to mention his small letter delivery task. However, there was an uproar among the players' forums. For a while, almost all the players were agitated by these dozens of posts asking about Buck, which set off an unusual upsurge in searching for Buck.

Yi Xuan slept soundly this night, probably because he had been performing Buck’s mission during the day. In his dream, Yi Xuan dreamed of a black old man with a beard. What’s more interesting is the feeling in the dream that this person is really Buck. I, the two are very close in their dreams, as if the relationship is very harmonious, and I don't know why they give Yi Xuan the feeling of an old friend. Yi Xuan woke up from his dream and smiled slightly, laughing that he had dreamed of a character who didn't exist at all.

"Bang bang bang. Is Master Yi here?" Yi Xuan suddenly heard a hustle and bustle outside the door, followed by the sound of his door being smashed, and he had locked the door for safety when he went to bed at night.

Yi Xuan couldn't help wondering, who was it this early morning? Before going down to the ground, Yi Xuan’s mental power had already spied out instinctively. This detection didn’t matter, Yi Xuan was taken aback, "What's the situation? Did I cause any trouble here and I was caught by the player team." Or is it the wanted order in the Eastern Plains? But I have already washed my red name and shouldn't be found out.

Yi Xuan came to the door lightly and probed his mental power again, but this time he saw clearly. There were more than a dozen players outside the door, and most of them seemed familiar. Obviously, they took the delivery mission yesterday. Those who didn't give up, Yi Xuan was panicked when they saw their menacing coming. Could it be that they couldn't finish the task and turned into anger, so they want to come and do it with him? This is very possible. The first thought in Yi Xuan's mind was that, fortunately, those people were not high-level, and it was not difficult even if they started fighting. As they were thinking about how to respond, they listened to someone outside the door shouting.

"Master Yi, we have completed the task, and we are here to hand in the task." That was the soldier closest to the door with the loudest voice. After seeing the door opened for a long time, he couldn't help but shout out.

Huh, Yi Xuan's heart was put in his stomach, but they said that they had completed the task, but it made Yi Xuan a little surprised. Can it be said that there is no change in just overnight? Thinking in mind, he stretched out his hand and opened the door.

As soon as the door rang, the players immediately rushed in. Yi Xuan was taken aback, and hurriedly jumped to the bed to make a defensive posture.

Those players didn't pay attention to them. They all waved the letters in their hands around Yi Xuan and said loudly, "Master Yi, I have completed the task. This is Buck's reply."

"Master Yi, I have completed the task. Look at me first, look at me first." Everyone pushed and shoved, there was no order, but without exception, they were all excited and inexplicable. Such a difficult task was solved by myself and I wanted to come. These people have a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.

Yi Xuan was eager to see the results, regardless of their noise, grabbed the letter from the nearest person, opened it hurriedly, and looked at the inscription at the end of the letter. Old friend: Buck.
