After the field of vision suddenly went dark, when it was turned on again, what could be seen was a dark blue space.
Several light blue threads of light swam around, and they were the only light source in this "room" of about five square meters. The brightness change is very soft, so that the player's vision will not be stimulated.
Lin You was no stranger to such scenes. When she first entered "Box", she hung up on the main interface for a while, poking here and there, hoping to experience all the interactive places.
So I also know what to focus on at this time.
She turned her gaze to the translucent light screen suspended in front of her eyes, on which personal settings were emerging line by line.
[Player Name: Lin You]
It's okay, all games nowadays require real names, and "Box" is no exception. Players use their real names as IDs to enter the game. Of course, the ID will not be automatically displayed on the top of the head, it will be communicated verbally - which means you can tell people a pseudonym.
Lin You stared intently at the next line of words that slowly appeared.
[Occupation: Summoner]
Lin You: "..."
… ah
What? ?
She watched the words continue to jump out dumbfounded, feeling that she might not be able to remember it.
It is true that they are all horror games, and it is okay to give players some supernatural settings. Although the public occupations announced are still mainly those in modern society, Lin You remembers that when she didn't receive the helmet and could only stare at forums to satisfy her hunger, she also met psychics, alchemists, fanatics, and even complained about herself. Forced to leave home.
... She didn't expect it to fall on her then.
Should this be a hidden profession
Lin You was a little guilty and tried to recall what good things she had done—caught the hand of the girl in the gap? Off the plaster like a small black house? Tell the girl in the gap to run errands instead of him
Or all of them.
"Establish a connection with certain creatures in a specific way," she read out while looking at the job description, "borrow their power under certain restrictions..."
Before she finished speaking, Lin You suddenly felt her hands sink.
She silently looked down at the heavy book with intricate patterns.
The moment she opened the book, Lin You gasped.
This is more like a picture book than a serious book. But at present, there are only ten card slots that are not gray, and three cards have been automatically filled in them.
[Name: Gap Girl]
[Card number: 001]
[Level: R]
[Remarks: Although the female ghost who lives in the gap between the furniture and the wall can only scratch people with her claws, she has very sensitive vision and hearing, and has eavesdropped on a lot of gossip. I really mind that my face has become very flat because I have been squeezed in the cracks all the year round, and I will be so angry that I will explode in anger when I am pointed out.]
... Did she know something extraordinary.
Lin You looked down calmly.
[Name: Plaster Statue in the Studio]
[Card number: 004]
[Level: R]
[Remarks: Are you still worried about theft when the studio is empty? Are you still worried about some students cheating from an invisible angle during the invigilation? As long as you have this plaster statue that can be monitored at 360 degrees without dead ends, you can solve all your troubles! PS. Because you can't speak, you can only make eye contact, and if you turn too fast, you may twist your neck. Please pay attention to massage it.]
So you're going to sprain it? ! No, you are all in plaster, why did you sprain? !
[Name: Pen Fairy]
[Card number: 005]
[Level: R]
[Remarks: It is said that if you invite a pen fairy, you can learn everything you want to know, and you can also predict the future. I'm sorry, this is a misunderstanding. He was an ordinary high school student before his death. He has considerable combat power, but fortune-telling is easy to make mistakes!]
Lin You stared dumbfounded as the ghosts she had seen were covered by the description of the card.
However, the oil paint on the surface of the card is still their scariest appearance, and the characteristics are restored to the point where Lin You thinks that the artist can add a few more chicken legs. The combination of the two makes people want to laugh but is too hairy to laugh.
Summoner...
Lin You held her cheek and flipped through the illustrated book from beginning to end. Sure enough, the whole book is locked in gray except for the ten card boxes, and it looks like it will have to wait for the career upgrade in the future.
The player level of "Box" is linked to the profession, that is to say, if you want to upgrade, you have to improve your profession. But she looked at the long column of experience, thinking she had no clue.
Lin You waved again, and the illustration book disappeared into the air.
If there is anything bad about this game, it’s because there is no specific skill description, and players have to figure it out by themselves.
The name Summoner is just as the name suggests, with the illustrated book in hand, Lin You guessed that it might be to use the existing cards to summon specific ghosts. But she wasn't sure what conditions she had met to establish a "connection", and the "certain restrictions" behind it were also suspicious.
... It's better to go to the forum to see if there is a summary of previous experience.
Lin You always does it when she thinks about it. She glanced at the time in the lower left corner, and it was almost noon, so she just cut out to have a meal.
After cutting off the game connection, Lin You let out a long sigh of relief after taking off the game helmet.
The helmet is made of breathable material, but it is still a bit stiff after wearing it for a long time. After adapting to the light in the bedroom, she got up and walked outside.
It was the summer vacation of her junior year, and she didn't need to re-study or practice, so she was free during the day.
Lin You had just arrived in the kitchen and was about to ask if she needed to help, but she was taken aback when she saw no one inside.
Thinking about it just now, I didn’t hear anything when I came all the way——
After all, just after coming out of the horror game, Lin You was involuntarily thinking about some frightening plots when Lin You saw the note left on the table.
[I just know how to play games, and I don’t listen to you. Your dad and I went to the two-person world to have a big meal. Although I hold a grudge, I reluctantly leave you a lunch.]
Before I had time to be moved, I looked to the side and saw a piece of instant noodle cake in the stainless steel basin, the seasoning was sprinkled, and a boiled egg was added.
Lin You: "..."
Mother.
After dismantling everything, she resigned herself to boiling water. After a brief lunch, Lin You sat back in front of the computer and began to browse the forum.
This game forum has everything. Although "Box" is a newly opened section, its traffic has been climbing to the top of the list. Swallowing and reading through the first few pages, Lin You felt that it would not be of much help to her.
Most of the discussions in the forum are still public occupations. Now the most sought-after professions are medical related occupations. After a few days, some liver emperors have been promoted two or three levels, and found that doctors can drive away negative states and increase blood. It is a must-have companion for home travel.
No wonder, what game can be without a nanny
In contrast, the most popular student occupation has little sense of existence.
She searched and searched, and even searched around using "summoning" as a keyword, but she couldn't find a second one with the same job as her.
Lin You realized that now she had to do it by herself and experience it in practice. She sighed, put on the helmet again, and entered the blue space.
There was a faint reflection of her on the wall of the space.
The character image used in "Box" is the projection of the player's reality, and the player is only allowed to make about 5% of the changes. Lin You is too lazy to change it.
When the artificial voice welcomed her back, Lin You cast her eyes on the game menu that hurt the light screen. "Newcomer Test Mode" has become grayed out and cannot be selected, and the remaining two columns are "Cooperative Mode" and "Solo Mode".
…Since it is "cooperation" rather than "teaming", does it mean that there will be a "competition mode" in the future
Thinking of this, Lin You stretched out his hand and clicked.
[You have selected the cooperation mode.]
The soft synthetic voice sounded again.
[The cooperative mode is a copy of two to twenty-four players randomly matched, and the player must cooperate with his teammates to complete the task. The evaluation and reward settlement are based on the contribution in the team. Unless the special props are marked, the copy cannot be brought out. Agree to continue.]
Lin You clicked "Agree".
[Matching... The match is successful.]
... This second row.
[You are about to enter the D-level copy "Hotel 626" - countdown, ten, nine, eight, seven...]
When the last "one" was heard, the familiar eyes darkened again, and Lin You felt her body shake suddenly. When she opened her eyes again, she found that her head had hit the backrest of the front row.
"My God, what's going on?"
"Is it okay to bump your head when you come up?!"
"Driver? Driver?"
There were complaints one after another, Lin You came back to his senses, and found from their words that the players in this car should be all players from the same team.
It was a small business car, and at a glance, there were eight people in the car, five men and three women, including her.
Everyone sits in pairs. In addition to the driver in the driver's seat, there is another girl sitting alone in the front row.
Looking at the small flag in her hand, Lin Youxin said that their role this time should be tourists traveling with a small group.
"I don't know." The player who was placed in the driver's seat was also very aggrieved. "It's here as soon as I enter the instance. I want to talk about what's going on."
"What is this?"
The "tour guide" waved the small flag in his hand and realized, "I'm a tour guide?"
"Uh," the boy sitting next to Lin You thought for a while, "Could it be that a group of tourists went to the deep mountains to travel and then the car broke down?"
Everyone: "..."
The player who was forced to act as the driver said "Damn it", turned over and opened the door to get out of the car to see the situation. Judging by his appearance, he might really have some experience in repairing cars.
It was only at this time that Lin You looked at the person next to him. The boy looked young, maybe two or three years younger than her, but he was quite tall. He looks handsome and sunny. In school, he should be the type who would have little girls screaming outside when playing basketball.
"Hello," noticing her gaze, the boy smiled friendly, "My name is Geng Qinghe."
Although she didn't know if it was her real name or not, she still nodded, "Lin You."
It was raining heavily outside, and the player who went out to check soon came up with soaked clothes. Judging from his face, he knew that something was not good.
"The car is broken and can't be repaired."
"It's just a matter of finding a place to spend the night nearby," he said.
—Yes, overnight.
Lin You looked out the window, it was completely dark, and the time displayed on the car was 7:30 in the evening.
A girl grabbed the clothes of the person next to her and saw that they acted like a couple who came in a team. She asked timidly, "Can't we be in the car?"
At this time, a man in his early thirties also stood up.
"You can't stay in the car," he said. "You see, everyone is in a cold state. It's raining and they're in the mountains. If they really spend the night here, they'll freeze to death."
Lin You didn't notice the extra debuff on the status bar until he said it. She touched her arm and felt a little cold.
"There is a family hotel over there, and the only choice given us is to go there."
Even if this copy is called "Hotel 626".
