Screaming Cycle (Infinite Flow)

Chapter 24: Peach Blossom Spring-01

Views:

When Ji Thrush woke up, the first thing he felt was that the heart-piercing pain had all disappeared.

He jumped up like a carp, lowered his head and looked at his whole body carefully.

The injury from fighting the dog and monkey in the elevator shaft has completely healed.

To be precise, it should be completely gone, even the acid-corroded clothes have returned to their original state, but all that remains of him is his watch and a set of clothes—the gun holster and knife hanging on his waist The holster, and the bow bag that he insisted on carrying even when he was running for his life, disappeared without a trace.

"Well, I still couldn't keep my bow after all."

Ji Thrush sighed, and observed the surrounding environment again.

With the previous experience, when he found himself alone in a small room with only four metal walls this time, he didn't even bother to be surprised.

"Okay, no matter what happens, I won't be surprised."

While talking to himself, Ji Thrush took a few steps forward and reached out to touch the metal wall in front of him.

When his finger touched the wall, he was a little surprised to find that it was not some kind of alloy that he thought could be seen, but thinner than a piece of paper, an indescribably tough film .

The moment Ji Thrush's fingertips pressed on it, the film shook slightly, and then ripples appeared like circles of ripples.

[Confirmation number C0919 Participants entered the 〖Peach Blossom Spring〗, conscious and in good spirits, ready to interact.]

Behind him suddenly sounded a girl's immature voice, the tone was crisp, but the enunciation was exceptionally clear.

Ji Thrush froze, turned his head suddenly, and saw a cute little girl wearing a snow-white princess dress and long twin ponytails standing in the middle of the room.

The girl smiled sweetly at him, showing a pair of small canine teeth:

[Hello, number C0919, Mr. Ji Thrush, it's my first meeting, I'm glad to serve you.]

Ji Thrush: "..."

—Your expression and speech are too divided, do you know how terrifying it is!

—Don’t think you’re an oriental and speak Chinese, so I can’t see that you’re imitating the Red Queen in Biomachine!

Ji Thrush: "Are you an artificial intelligence?"

Girl: [Using the definition rules of your world, I should indeed be regarded as artificial intelligence.]

She pouted cutely, and smiled playfully, [Or, you prefer to call me by my name, Xiaobai.]

Ji Thrush: "..."

At this moment, he just felt that there was too much to say, and he didn't know which sentence to say first.

However, compared to these insignificant complaints, what he wants to ask is so many questions that there are too many to count.

He had confirmed from Brother Jie before that they were living in an unreal "world", and if they wanted to survive, they had to persist until the end like completing a copy of an online game. At that time, Ji Xiaoniao only hated this "game" deeply. "It's too cheating, there is no guide for novices.

Now that he finally got through the first hurdle, the novice guide he had been looking forward to for a long time finally came, but instead he hesitated where to start asking.

[Don't you like the way I am now?]

Seeing that Ji Thrush didn't speak, Xiaobai tilted his head with a confused expression:

[According to the latest statistics, among young men in the age group of 18 to 30, among the things that are not easily disgusted by the first impression, cats rank first, and cute girls under the age of 12 rank second...]

Her voice suddenly stopped, and the figure in the white princess dress blurred for a moment and then solidified again, and her appearance has changed:

[Or, is your sexual orientation the 10% who prefer the same sex?]

Ji Thrush: "..."

The "Xiaobai" in front of him has changed from a cute and pretty loli with two ponytails to a handsome young man half a head taller than him.

But that face is really artificial. Even Ji Thrush, a physical education star who has been obsessed with training in the past, can clearly recognize the stitching marks on it—the melon seed face looks like a certain popular boy group. The C guy, the shape of the eyes was copied and pasted from a certain fresh meat, and the shape of the smiling lips and the teardrop-shaped lips are a replica of the champion of the Korean draft next door.

"Okay, okay, don't worry about this."

Ji Thrush waved his hand weakly, and decided to control the rhythm of the conversation, "First, please tell me, where is this place?"

[This is 〖Peach Blossom Spring〗.]

Xiaobai replied: [It is the place where you will live at other times except in [World] from now on.]

Ji Thrush thought:

—It won’t be such a trap, will it

—I will live in such a small, empty room in the future

— This way you will be claustrophobic in two days!

But he asked another question that he cared more about first:

"Why am I here?"

[As you know.]

Xiaobai smiled slightly with his plagiarized and spliced handsome face:

[You had a car accident in the latitude space where you originally lived, and your physical body has completely died.]

He raised his hand gracefully,

[The body you are using now was created for you by [Peach Blossom Spring], but it also means that you can only continue to use it in this space and latitude.]

Ji Thrush understood: "That is to say, as long as I leave here, I will die completely?"

Xiaobai smiled and nodded: [Indeed.]

Because he was mentally prepared, Ji Thrush accepted this explanation without struggling for a long time, and then asked another question:

"So what am I going to do here?"

[Look here.]

Xiaobai is very satisfied with this person's understanding.

With a flick of his hand in mid-air, a translucent calendar appeared in front of Ji Thrush.

Ji Thrush discovered that this so-called "calendar" did not match the time he originally lived.

When the maglev rail car derailed, it was late summer and early autumn, and it was still the season to wear short sleeves, but the time flashing on the calendar at this time was February 3, which was half a year behind.

[On the 15th of every month, you have to enter a random world whose difficulty matches your current ability as a 〖Participant〗, and try to ensure that you can survive until the progress bar reaches 100% before leaving〖World〗, Return to [Peach Blossom Spring].]

While talking, Xiaobai showed his wrist to Ji Thrush, wearing a watch that was exactly the same as Ji Thrush's: [When you are in the 〖World〗, you can check it on the watch. Progress to the [World].]

Ji Thrush nodded.

He had already practiced this point in the City of Ashes.

"Then what does the color of the pointer on the watch represent?"

He wanted to confirm his guess, "When I was in the 'world', I found that the pointer on the watch would change color."

[The color of the pointer represents your danger level in this world.]

Xiaobai smiled with a gentle and innocent face, harmless to humans and animals, [Danger levels are divided into four levels: green, white, yellow, and red. The higher the level, the greater the danger. Please be careful at all times.]

"Understood."

They had experienced these rules in that damn city, and now he just confirmed it again from the novice guide that was a hundred and eighty years late.

[Every time you pass a 〖World〗, you can get the corresponding basic points, and then get corresponding bonus points according to the completion of the main plot and the completion of the branch. At the same time, there are certain bonus points for obtaining important mission items and special props.]

Xiaobai: [May I ask you to settle the points for the first 〖World〗 now?]

Ji Thrush hesitated for a moment.

He originally wanted to ask a lot of questions, but after hearing what the artificial intelligence said, he couldn't hold back his curiosity. He really wanted to know how many points he had scored in the world he had worked so hard to get through.

"okay then."

Ji Thrush said: "Let's settle the points now."

[Okay, the credits for the first 〖World〗 of the number C0919 participant are being settled.]

Xiaobai put away the calendar, and a string of light strips intertwined with text and data spread out in front of Ji Thrush.

[〖City of Ashes〗world, difficulty F, main map exploration rate 28%, main line completion rate 72%, no branch lines triggered; kill two monsters〖Candle Dragonfly〗, kill monsters Two 〖Salamander〗, kill five monsters〖Dog-faced Ape〗; get special props and activate abilities 〖Ordinary Charging Treasure〗...]

"wait!"

Ji Thrush hurriedly shouted, "What did you just say I inspired?"

However, Xiaobai's artificial intelligence seems to be single-threaded, and will not stop to explain Ji Thrush's questions.

[A total of 2328 points were obtained for the above, and the first time to clear the F-level difficulty 〖World〗, the points bonus was 50%, and a total of 3492 points were obtained.]

As soon as he finished speaking, the words and data floating in Ji Thrush's eyes merged with each other, and finally turned into four huge local tyrant golden colorful laser numbers: 3492.

Ji Thrush: "..."

——This indescribable taste of the nouveau riche! Too hot eyes.

[Your points can be used to strengthen your physical fitness, or exchange for one-time props that can be brought into the next world.]

Xiaobai's point settlement process is obviously not over yet, he smiled and said to Ji Thrush:

[Used points cannot be refunded, it is recommended that you choose carefully.]

"Okay, I know."

After Ji Thrush finished speaking, he waited for a few seconds. Seeing that Xiaobai just looked at him with a smile and stopped talking, he continued with the question just now: "You said that in the last [world], I aroused... different, different abilities ?”

[yes.]

Xiaobai: [You obtained a special prop in the last [World] and used it, and obtained the ability [Ordinary Power Bank].]

"This name sounds unreliable..."

Ji Thrush murmured softly: "Why does it feel like copying the meme of 'General Surgeon' that has been outdated for hundreds of years..."

Xiaobai smiled and said nothing.

"Okay, then tell me, how to use this 'ordinary power bank'!"

According to his experience of watching movies and online articles, the so-called "supernatural powers" and "super powers" are usually very high-end things, such as Captain Jing who tears up a battleship with his bare hands, or a sword The dragon that splits the sky × sky.

Therefore, he felt that although the name "ordinary power bank" sounds frustrating, it must be a lightning-type skin god with 180,000 volts, right

Xiaobai finally understood Ji Thrush's question correctly this time, [Okay, I'm about to give you instructions on how to use the ability [Ordinary Power Bank].]

His explanation was short and clear.

"Damn it!!"

After Ji Thrush finished listening, he looked up to the sky and shouted loudly: "This is so stupid!!!!"
