Players are about to enter the C-level gaming arena: Love Island.
Game mission: Find the secret of Love Island.
Props: Love Stone, defensive props, 2000 points per piece, each person is allowed to purchase one piece.
Gu Jiu stared at the props on the game store panel, recalling the name of the game field and the game tasks just reported by the system, and keenly realized that there were hidden traps in the game world he was about to enter.
Just like the previous game mission "Find the Ghost", the player is openly looking for the Ghost, but he or she cannot even figure out what the Ghost is. Even if the waitress keeps denying that she is the "Ghost", it will be impossible to pass the level. One careless move will lead the player to make completely different choices.
Looking at the props given, you can tell that the danger level of this game world must be relatively high, which is why rare defensive props are provided to players.
"Buy it." Gu Jiu said.
After the system butler put the purchased item "Love Stone" into her personal bag, Gu Jiu entered the game world.
**
Gu Jiu opened his eyes and a salty and humid sea breeze blew in his face.
There was a very unpleasant smell in the sea breeze. To be more precise, it was like the smell of rotten meat mixed with the fishy smell. It drifted towards her vaguely, which was a real test of her sense of smell.
She looked over and found that she was sitting on a boat.
The cabin looked very shabby and the smell was not pleasant, as if there were countless dead fish piled up and fermenting in the cabin, and the smell was very sour.
The window was open, and the sea breeze blew away the smell from my nose, but the smell occasionally dissipated and still made people feel suffocated.
Gu Jiu couldn't help but cover his nose with his hand. He felt that both the smell of the cabin and the smell carried in the sea breeze were very touching.
Fortunately, Lu Ji was sitting next to her, very close to her. The scent of Lu Ji lingered around her, giving her nose finally room to breathe.
She suddenly discovered that Lu Ji smelled so good, fresh and clean.
Then, Gu Jiu looked at the people in the cabin.
The cabin was not big, and there were twenty people sitting in it, including myself. We sat in pairs, and it was obvious at a glance that we were players who came in as a team.
Lu Haidi and Ruan Yuan were sitting diagonally opposite them and looked over here. After their eyes met, Ruan Yuan and the others nodded slightly as a greeting.
Suddenly, Gu Jiu's eyes narrowed slightly.
There were two people sitting in the last row of the cabin. One of them was covering his mouth and nose with a snow-white handkerchief. From his delicate and elegant eyes, one could see that he hated the environment in the cabin at that moment. The middle-aged man sitting next to him had a helpless look on his face.
When Gu Jiu looked over, the two of them also saw her.
The middle-aged man—Ge Guang excitedly waved at Gu Jiu and silently opened his mouth to greet her.
Gu Jiu also smiled back.
She didn't expect to meet them again in the game world, which made her feel somewhat happy.
Lu Ji also saw the two people, he just glanced at them lightly and nodded politely, that’s all.
Qi Yuheng, covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and trying hard to suppress his temper, waved his hand weakly at them as a greeting, and then continued to fight the dirty cabin environment with willpower.
For a person who is obsessed with cleanliness, the cabin environment and the stench in the air made him want to die. If this wasn't a game world, he might have chosen to jump into the sea at the first opportunity.
Finally, Qi Yuheng chose to wear a gas mask and finally saved his nose.
But his eyes could still see the dirty environment of the cabin, which still made him feel suffocated.
After greeting his acquaintances, Gu Jiu looked out of the window and found that the ship was sailing on the boundless sea. The sea in the distance was vast and wide, covered with dark clouds, and a terrible storm could hit at any time.
The players sitting together began to whisper and talk about the situation in the game world.
They were obviously on a boat, and the boat was heading in a certain direction. Considering the name of the game, the destination must be Love Island.
"Hey, look, there's an island ahead."
A player reminded his companions. He did not lower his voice deliberately, so everyone in the cabin could hear it and looked out the window.
The outline of an island appeared on the dark sea.
From the player's perspective, the sea water outside is black, and there is no telling what is in the sea. Occasionally, you can see a darker black shadow passing by. The sky is gloomy, and the island between the sea and the sky is as gloomy as a ghost island, which doesn't fit the game name "Love Island" at all.
Without any explanation, players will understand that this island should be the location of this game - Love Island.
The boat was moving very fast. After more than ten minutes, it had approached the island and stopped at the pier.
It is called a dock, but in fact it is a very simple anchorage. When the ship passed by, it hit the reef near the island. The whole ship was shaken violently by the collision, and the players in the cabin were caught off guard and were knocked all over the place.
Lu Ji quickly supported Gu Jiu and took her into his arms.
Again and again... I hugged Ajiu~
Happy~~≧◇≦
No one knew Lu Ji's secret joy, especially when Gu Jiu simply leaned on his arms and waited for the shaking of the boat to stop, he suddenly felt that this game world was pretty good.
Before the vibration on the ship subsided, a pale, thin man walked into the cabin.
The man swept his gloomy eyes over the players in the cabin and said, "We have arrived at Love Island. Please get off the boat."
The players observed him calmly, realizing that he should be an NPC who guides players in the game world. One bold player said, "Hey, big brother, this is our first time on Love Island. We don't know much about it. Can you introduce it to us?"
The man said impatiently, "I know your purpose. You want to get the blessing of the legendary Sea God. The blessing of the Sea God is not something that ordinary people can easily get. Are you sure that you can still love your lover deeply in the test of the Sea God? If you can't do it, you will be punished by the Sea God."
When it comes to the word "punishment", players can clearly feel the ill intentions on this man's face.
This is another NPC who harbors deep malice towards the player and wishes the player would die quickly.
The players adapted well and didn't care about his malicious intent, and continued to ask: "What is the punishment of the sea god?"
The man did not answer, but said maliciously: "You will know soon." Without waiting for them to ask any more questions, he forcefully drove them off the boat.
Seeing this, the players knew they couldn't get any more information from here, so they tactfully got up and got off the boat.
Standing on the pier, you can see the villas standing by the sea not far away.
The villa was built on black reefs. The raging waves beat against the reefs and the dark clouds pressed down, giving people a foreboding that a storm would come at any time.
This villa should be where they live in the game world.
The players walked towards the villa without much communication.
Maybe it was because the temperature on the island was relatively high, and the air was humid and stuffy. After walking for a while, the players felt that their clothes were soaked with moisture and became heavy, and they were sweating all over.
Gu Jiu had to take off his autumn jacket.
Other players who were wearing thicker clothes also took them off or changed into summer clothes, and finally felt a little cooler.
When they arrived in front of the villa, everyone looked at this villa built on the seaside.
The villa has three floors, with gray walls covered with some black withered plants that are either seaweed or vines. They cling to the walls like steel bars, and from a distance they look like some kind of tendons, which are quite creepy.
The door of the villa opened, as if welcoming the guests in.
Gu Jiu glanced at the villa and walked in first.
Lu Ji, Ruan Yuan and Lu Haidi naturally followed behind her. In the eyes of other players, they looked like a young lady with three followers.
Qi Yuheng frowned and walked in with Ge Guang.
As soon as I entered the villa, I saw two people in the hall.
One was an old man in a well-dressed black suit, and the other was the NPC man who had brought them here by boat.
The players were stunned for a moment and decided not to think about how this NPC was behind them yet arrived at the villa before them. After all, NPCs in the game world were notoriously elusive.
The old man in the black suit said, "Welcome to the Sea God's testing ground. I am the steward here, and I am also the Sea God's servant and a loyal believer of the Sea God. Next, you will go through the Sea God's test. Those who are lucky enough to pass the test will receive the Sea God's blessing."
Gu Jiu asked: "What is the blessing of the Sea God and what is its use?"
The skinny man glared at Gu Jiu unhappily. His eyes were like a vicious snake that could pounce on and bite anyone at any time.
Gu Jiu was not afraid of him at all, and even said calmly: "You are loyal believers of the Sea God. I believe you have the responsibility to spread the great deeds of the Sea God to us."
This sophistry made the skinny man choke and speechless.
The butler was not angry, but there was no warmth in his eyes when he looked at Gu Jiu.
He said: "Lovers who are blessed by the sea god will get a true love."
If it were in the real world, hearing someone say such a childish thing in a serious tone, one would have burst out laughing, sneered, and regarded it as a joke. But this was a game world, and no player dared to treat it as a joke. There was a bad feeling in their hearts.
Someone asked, "You mean, we came here to get the blessing of that sea god?"
This was a bit disrespectful, causing the two of them to glare at him in dissatisfaction.
The player being glared at was a burly man with a murderous look on his face.
His companion was a strong man of the same type as him. Since the climate on the island was not cold, both of them wore short-sleeved T-shirts, revealing their strong and powerful arms with tattoos of ferocious beasts on their arms. It was obvious at first glance that they were not good people.
The housekeeper said, "Yes, you are all lovers who came here together. You came to Love Island this time to participate in the test of Poseidon. In order to get the blessing of Poseidon, you must prove to Poseidon the steadfastness of your love."
The players' faces changed slightly at the housekeeper's words.
That bad premonition finally became a reality.
No wonder there are twenty players this time, and they are all in pairs. It turns out that they were forced into a couple by the boss of the game world.
Qi Yuheng asked dissatisfiedly: "Why must we be a couple? Can't we just ask friends to come together?"
He looked at Ge Guang with disgust.
Ge Guang looked innocent. How could he have known that there would be such a bold move in the game world this time? If he had known this would happen, he would have let one of the twin sisters come in with Boss Qi.
Lu Ji's mind moved, and he couldn't help but look at Gu Jiu.
