Nan Zhou was stunned for a moment, then quickly made a gesture to Li Yinhang who was just about to say something, and hurriedly boarded the No. 6 carriage.
Li Yinhang asked Yuan Mingqing with his eyes: what happened
The Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties spread their hands.
Nan Zhou entered the interior of the train again.
The smell inside the train is unique to the enclosed space, with a faint musty smell of over-moisture.
He started all the way from carriage 6 and went upstream.
… Gone.
All the monstrosities he had seen were gone.
Bloodstains all over the place.
Broken glass window.
Blood stains under the curtains.
Broken plastic table and splattered human blood.
It was clean, clean, and there was no sign of a fight.
Nan Zhou walked to Car No. 3 and picked up the "departure log" hanging on the wall to check it.
Attached to it is a brand new form with no records.
Nanzhou has come all the way, and the pillows, seats and table tops are all properly stored.
No magazines and melon husks, no mineral water bottles tossed away, and no rotten spicy vermicelli.
This is an ordinary train that is old, but nothing special.
… Ordinary enough to make Nan Zhou feel a chill in his heart.
He stepped out of the No. 1 carriage, pushed aside the wet mist like flowers and willows, and approached Li Yinhang and the others who were waiting there.
Seeing that Nan Zhou suddenly got into the car, Li Yinhang didn't follow him around like a headless fly. He just waited on the platform and exchanged messages with the confused Yuan Mingqing in a soft voice.
When he turned around, Li Yinhang also roughly understood what happened.
...that is, is there anything unusual about the train itself
She has always trusted Nanzhou 100%.
Therefore, before she got on the train herself, she had already begun to be vigilant about the existence of the "train".
Li Yinhang called out to him: "Nan..."
Nan Zhou asked directly, "How long is your game's specified duration?"
Li Yinhang was puzzled, but answered simply: "24 hours."
Nan Zhou: "You came out early?"
Li Yinhang checked his watch: "Yes. I came out 10 hours and 20 minutes in advance."
Yuan Mingqing was amused when he heard the two of them asking and answering like a teacher giving a class to the students: "Hey, why didn't you ask her what danger she encountered? The girl still needs comfort at this time."
Nan Zhou asked back: "No matter what danger she encounters, she is standing here now. Why should I ask irrelevant questions?"
Yuan Mingqing made a big fuss: "..."
Nan Zhou pulled Li Yinhang and sat down: "What game did you encounter?"
Li Yinhang: "We are playing..."
She didn't know much about game terminology and thought about it for a long time: "It's an adventure and upgrade type game, it's the kind of monsters that randomly encounter monsters in the wild..."
Yuan, Ming and Qing clearly understood: "Similar to the gameplay of Pokemon?"
"Hmm. Almost."
Li Yinhang gestured: "The style of my game is still quite cartoony. It is said that a little ant has a dream of escaping from the farm and seeing the distance. She has a good friend. She wants to escape with her. But animals Betrayal and escapers are not allowed on the farm. Every animal has its own place. If they choose to escape, they will only be trampled by countless feet in the future.”
"So, in order not to let my little ant die in reality, other animals on the farm will let me 'happily die in my dreams'."
When he first entered the game, "Li Yinhang" was indeed confused by the surrounding scene design of the warm spring sun and the breeze blowing grass.
After listening to the rules, she broke out in cold sweat and goosebumps, and there was no luck.
"The map is a place called Spring Flower Ranch. My task is to find the exit of the pasture within 24 hours. There is no other means of transportation. I have to walk on my legs. Monsters will randomly spawn in the pasture. Wait for the monsters to jump. After coming out, we have to play that kind of turn-based game, we can escape, but there is a chance that we can't escape... If we win, the opponent will drop points, and the monsters above the intermediate level will also drop map fragments. If you have enough map fragments, you can spell out the map of the farm and know where the exact exit is. As for the points... We can buy items such as blood bottles and blood-nourishing grass in some fixed 'shops' to restore blood."
As she spoke, she took out a notebook, apparently a Miyoshi student who made detailed notes in the copy.
It's a pity that Nan Zhou's paintings, like her notes, cannot be brought out of the copy.
She had to try to restore and describe it according to her own memory.
"There are many types of monsters. The primary ones include slimes, grass spirits and other elves, and the advanced ones include pig-headed people and cow skeletons."
"I remember only the monsters we met, I remember 72 kinds, each monster's attributes and attack methods are different."
"The length of a game depends on the situation. The quickest 2 minutes to get it done, the hardest one, we played for more than 20 minutes, and found that we couldn't beat it in the middle. We tried to escape several times, but failed."
Yuan Mingqing asked: "What are your summoned beasts?"
"The rules have said that there is only one friend who is willing to help 'me' escape from the farm." Li Yinhang said, "...there is only Nanji Xing. And I, as a game character, with Nanji Xing, will not be counted in the battle sequence. .In the beginning, all the battles were fought by the South Star. . . . Isn't it, South Star?"
Saying that, she wanted to touch the South Pole Star, but she felt empty.
After the revelation of the truth just now, Nanji Xing was so embarrassed that he could not wait to find a tree hole to burrow into, and after turning back into a honey glider, he was holding the legs of the stool firmly with a pair of front claws. She silently faced the wall and closed herself, pretending that she did not exist.
… This is really a tailor-made copy for Li Yinhang.
She doesn't remember being fake.
For an honest child like Li Yinhang, after she simply figured out the rules, she naturally brushed the copy at first.
Therefore, she recorded the value bars of all the monsters on the opposite side in detail, and made a very practical time allocation: she spent a lot of time on brushing the primary monsters, and took the method of searching for the grass in a circle, expanding outward in circles. Spawn as many primary monsters as possible.
She is not in a hurry to get a map, but concentrates on accumulating points, doing her best to accumulate original points for the subsequent fierce battles.
Against those primary monsters, the South Pole Star is quite dominant.
He has recovered the complete body of the little boss, and he can often knock off the opponent's head in one bite.
Li Yinhang persevered and fought a sure-win battle, sticking to the novice village. He didn't take a step. .
When they enter the development wild area of medium and high-level monsters, their battles are no longer so easy.
Fortunately, Antarctica can also change into an adult.
Under Nan Zhou's words and deeds, he could easily break the neck bone of a sheep-headed man and deliver a fatal blow.
However, he inevitably began to be injured in the battle.
Due to the mandatory regulations of the game, Nanji Star must rely on medicines purchased from the store if it wants to recover blood. Therefore, in order to save points, unless it is a last resort, the blood bottle will be used to restore blood.
Moreover, although the blood bar representing physical and physical health can be restored, the mental fatigue caused by the long-term repeated battles cannot be compensated.
They also don't have time to rest.
The scope of the farm is simply too large.
The worst part was that when they had collected half of the map, Li Yinhang realized that, according to the landmarks on the map, they should have chosen the wrong direction for the exit.
If the next battle is still as intensive as it is now, there will be monsters every five minutes of walking, and the enemies encountered later will only become more and more fierce, then their prospects are really worrying.
Even if it is just a trance, you will be seriously injured.
When the game advanced to the 10th hour, Li Yinhang and the others encountered a pig-headed man with an extremely high level.
It has a strong attack and high defense, and even if Nanji Xing becomes a human, in front of it, he is still a slender and weak young man, not half the width of its shoulders.
After Li Yinhang chose to escape and failed, it charged at high speed, pierced the lower abdomen of Nanyang Star with its sharp fangs, and bit him all over with blood dripping.
By the time he finally killed it, Nanji Xing was so weak that he couldn't get up from his knees. He was panting on the ground covered in blood. His blond hair was soaked by the blood gushing from his neck. .
Li Yinhang was so distressed that he could only feed him a large blood bottle, and let him rest on his lap to support his heart, for fear that his heartbeat, which was as thin as a gossamer, would disappear all of a sudden.
…
After listening to Li Yinhang talk about it, Yuan Mingqing became more and more curious about how she broke the game because of her understanding of her character.
Hearing him ask how he escaped from the dungeon, Li Yinhang replied embarrassedly, "I... Actually, I didn't understand it either."
Yuan Mingqing was surprised: "You don't understand?... Then how did you come out?"
"After fighting that pig-headed man, I feel that it's not right to be reckless." Li Yinhang said, "According to this style of play, before leaving the farm, Nanjixing will inevitably die. At that time, with my combat power, there is absolutely no way to participate. There is no way to live alone. I used this to persuade Nanji Xing to rest, but he refused."
The two of them kept their knee-cushioned postures and quarreled with each other.
Li Yinhang lowered his head and said, "He yelled at me... He said I was wrong. As long as he dies, I can live."
Nan Zhou raised his eyebrows in thought.
… the idea of the South Pole star is sound.
From the previous battle, it can be seen that Nanji Star is Li Yinhang's summoned beast.
If the South Pole Star is not there, Li Yinhang, the "summoner" who fights alone, may not trigger the battle if he goes all the way.
Therefore, in Nanji Xing's view, only if he died, Li Yinhang could leave the farm unimpeded all the way.
Nanji Star's plan was to try to piece together a relatively complete farm map for Li Yinhang before he died of exhaustion.
Li Yinhang said indifferently: "I don't believe it would be so simple, but I can't find a reason to convince him, and I don't want him to die."
She looked at Nan Zhou and said a little apologetically, "Mr. Nan, I'm not very qualified... At that time, I was actually very irrational."
Nan Zhou nodded to show his understanding.
Those ten hours are ten hours of life and death.
In theory, the South Pole Star is indeed a game creature, and it is not much different from the existence of other props.
But after going through those things together, not everyone can rationally regard the South Pole Star as something that can be sacrificed and resolutely abandon the life-saving one.
"On the way, the two of us quarreled about this issue for over two hours, and he was injured several times, all of them badly. I didn't believe he would survive 24 hours at all—later, to prove that I was right. Yes, after entering a battle, I forced the South Pole Star back into the warehouse."
"Sure enough, once he disappears from the team, the next 'summoned beast' to be automatically thrown into battle by the game is me. Even if I sacrifice him, I can't live alone."
Having said that, she pursed her lips and chuckled lightly: "As a result, my skin was too crisp, and there was a pig-headed man on the other side. I suddenly... gone."
"But in the next second, I'll be at the station."
... Indeed, in a sense, Li Yinhang's sacrifice to protect his friends was also a "willing" suicide.
Speaking of this, Li Yinhang glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a tall and stiff man standing quietly in the fog only 5 meters away from them, like a lost ghost.
No one knows when it stood there.
Li Yinhang was taken aback by this dead-faced NPC, and he peeked at Nan Zhou and Yuan Mingqing, and found that they had no difference, and his heart settled down.
He began his usual questioning: "This lady, two gentlemen. Would you like to get in the car?"
Li Yinhang waved his hand politely: "No, let's wait."
Before he could read it a second time, Nan Zhou asked the question that had been lingering in his heart.
He pointed to the old train in front of him: "After this train leaves, when will the next train come?"
The npc replied blankly: "There is no next bus."
Li Yinhang was surprised and held up the contract: "But didn't it say in the contract that the ticket has been used within 6 hours since it was in our hands..."
Hearing this, the NPC turned his head and stared at Li Yinhang.
He has a dove-shaped zombie face, his eyes are extremely wide apart, and his eyes are huge and round like a fish.
He stared at Li Yinhang with black and white wooden eyes, and recited emotionlessly: "There is no next bus."
