Chapter 266 [Punishment Dungeon]

"Since the protection rules don't apply to me, then ......" Chen Xiaolian said this, but GM suddenly shook his head: "Wait a minute." ”

"Huh?"

"You don't really apply the protection rules, but ...... Why should I tell you?"

Chen Xiaolian was stunned.

"Aren't we in a partnership?"

"Even if you don't cooperate with me, you still need to survive in the dungeon and complete the quest. GM said lightly: "Moreover, I also gave you help, and your exchange system is my help." ”

“...... That exchange system that sells spicy strips?" Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly.

"That's all I can do to get around the system. Theoretically, this is a cheat. GM also smiled bitterly: "All the equipment generated in the system is made by the program. And these things all have numbers, and the system will have prescribed numbers, how much is generated, and how much is consumed. There are numbers to be checked. I'm not a development team after all, I'm part of the system, and if I want to do something in the middle, the development team will easily find out.

So, all I can control is a part of the redundancy of the system.

For example, some dead game participants, their personal reserves of items, equipment, medicines. With the death of the participant, these things will be taken back by the system and deleted directly.

And I can only get a share of the items from these redundant values like this. And then give those shares to you to use -- and they can't be given away for nothing.

Because I'm a GM, I'm part of the system, and the system can't accept gifts!

The system only allows transactions to output items!

The exchange price is the same as the system. In this way, it can escape the abnormal retrieval of the system. ”

"But you don't have to make it so outrageous, do you? spicy strips, instant noodles, potato chips. The van ......" Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "When fighting, others hold swords, and I carry a magic mop, is this like words?"

"As I said, this is to avoid the system's retrieval. Theoretically, these things don't exist. is something that should be deleted. I intercepted the data and directed it to a plug-in I made for you, but of course it needs to be renamed, otherwise it will be easily discovered by the system. ”

"Okay!"

Chen Xiaolian smiled helplessly.

It's a big deal that you don't exchange any weapons and equipment.

As for the potions...... Spicy strips, spicy strips.

"So how can you tell me about these guys?"

GM looked at Chen Xiaolian's eyes: "Deal." ”

"Deal?"

GM sneered: "Don't you think that our cooperation has always been unfair to me? whether I give you benefits or not, you have to go through the quest anyway, and you have to work hard to complete the quest - this is a matter of your own life and death."

What have you really done for me?"

“...... Reasonable. Chen Xiaolian nodded.

"Exchange system. I've solved it for you too. So, if you want me to get more benefits from this, I think you can only get it by trading. I'm not your babysitter and won't respond to your needs. ”

Chen Xiaolian frowned: "So, what do you need me to do for you?"

"It's simple, follow some of my arrangements. GM smiled: "The team system can avoid some mandatory copies." There are some special perks at the team level. You can also make a deployment according to the number of people and so on.

But, at some point. Some dungeons, which you may not wish to participate in, may not be able to be circumvented through the team system.

However, there are some copies that I need you to participate in!"

"For example?"

"Like, punishment dungeons. ”

GM said in a calm tone.

......

Chen Xiaolian was stunned.

Copy. It can be said that it is the biggest shackle in the heart of every awakened person!

If there is freedom, no one wants to participate in the copy!

A copy is a test of life and death!

Why is City Zero considered a paradise by all the Awakened? Because City Zero can help people in the city block dungeons!

If you don't participate in the dungeon, who would want to take the initiative to enter the dungeon and fight to the death, except for a madman?

Not to mention the legendary punishment dungeon!

The punishment quest is harsher and more brutal than the normal one!

This is a punishment for participants in the previous normal copy. Penalty for failure!

The other dungeons, if they fail, have a chance to punish the dungeon.

Punishable quest failed...... The usual result is...... Death!

Moreover, punishment dungeons, generally speaking, are competitive dungeons, and the awakened people who enter the dungeon must face the test of life and death, and must face the situation of killing each other according to the system.

The strong stay, and the weak are eliminated.

......

"What do you mean...... You want me to punish the dungeon?"

"Yes. ”

"Why?" Chen Xiaolian frowned.

"Because this time, I need you to go. GM said lightly.

Chen Xiaolian thought about it carefully: "If you don't say it clearly, I won't agree to you." Revenge is important, but there is no need to risk my own life. If I die in the Punishment Dungeon, there will be no hope of revenge. ”

GM sighed.

Then he finally answered the question.

"All the dungeon plots of the system are scenes provided by the system. The core rules of the system are reflected in each scene.

But the penalty dungeon is a special feature.

Punish the participants of the dungeon, only the Awakened.

This is a scene specially set up for the awakened.

It is also a system used by the system to control the quantity and quality of the awakened.

It can control that there will not be too many awakened people, causing an imbalance in the system.

At the same time, you can eliminate some that are too weak.

And...... Some are too powerful, take the opportunity to eliminate them. ”

"Wait, I can understand the elimination of the weak. Raise the strong to get rid of the ...... What's going on?"

"As I said, the punishment quest is based on the Awakened.

Theoretically, the strong will not enter the punishment quest...... The strength of the strong is very strong in itself, and it can be won in a normal dungeon.

But there are always exceptions.

For example. In a normal dungeon, only one winner will appear in the dungeon itself. 、

At the same time, the system extracted several strong people into this dungeon.

Then there must be some strong people who will not get the only winner's spot and be forced to enter the punishment dungeon.

At this time, punish the copy. In fact, it has become a special means for the system to adjust and control the group of awakened people.

The strength of the player, the development team has a clear control.

But the Awakened, because it's an indigenous resistance. Many times, the growth of the awakened is only not fully controlled by the system.

When they find out that the overall strength of the Awakened is too strong, for example, threatening the overall level of the player, the system is considered to have crossed the set balance line.

So this time. Punishment dungeon, which can be used to weaken the Awoken. ”

"Let them kill each other?" Chen Xiaolian sneered.

"Yes. ”

"What does it mean to eliminate the strong?"

"The mission plot of the punishment dungeon can be freely controlled by the system.

In other words, it is possible that there will be a story mission similar to other normal dungeons.

Or maybe it's a task that has been added to the system temporarily.

This quest may include, but is not limited to: targeting a powerful team of Awakened Ones who have entered the Punishment Dungeon, and then having all the other Punished Awakened Snipe the target team!

This can also be a quest!

Attack it in groups. Let the strongest team of awakened targets be killed by everyone in the punishment dungeon!"

Chen Xiaolian scolded fiercely in his heart.

"You have to understand. Punishment dungeons are not the world's earliest basic program system.

Rather, after the appearance of the Awakened...... The system is a patch to the world.

And this patch, because it was added later, is very controllable.

Moreover, the system itself, the monitoring of the punishment copy and the restrictions of the rules. is weaker!

Because the punishment copy was not part of the original system, it was added later.

The original system was actually built for the player.

Then the Awakened appeared, and in addition to the original system, a branch subsystem of punishment dungeons was added.

So, in the punishment dungeon. In fact, there are many things that can surpass the original system - it is itself a back door opened by the system.

No players participate in the penalty dungeon.

Sometimes, however, the development team will have inspectors come in to adjust and control the situation - of course, this is a rare occurrence. ”

"Then why are you asking me to punish the dungeon?"

"Because I know there's a special case in one of the punishment dungeons that the system is about to open.

I need you to get into this punishment quest and help me with something. ”

Chen Xiaolian listened quietly: "What else?"

“...... Without. GM looked into Chen Xiaolian's eyes.

"What? What does this mean? What does it help you accomplish? Is it to find any special equipment items, or to get any information, or to kill someone, and what is the plot of this punishment dungeon? You have to tell me!"

"I can't tell you now, because I don't know yet. ”

“......”

"You still don't understand? I'm not in control of the system. I'm not a developer of the system either. I'm just part of the system, I'm just a hypervisor of the system, even though I'm self-aware. But I'm still only part of the system's hypervisor.

As a developer, the development team will not know how to develop the plot and what plot tasks have been developed!

Only after this quest is opened, I, as a hypervisor, will know what's in the quest.

And the penalty dungeon, as I actually said, is not the main system. Rather, it's a subsystem.

In other words, punishing copies is not part of my management.

It is a post-added subroutine. And the procedure is relatively simple.

All I know now is that, judging from the program, there will soon be a penalty copy in which something unexpected will appear, something I'd love to know, so. I want you to go in and help me figure out what that thing is.

I'll certainly give you some help, though.

I won't know until the quest is opened.

But once the quest is opened, I can tell you about it. ”

Chen Xiaolian was a little surprised: "Aren't you unable to enter the dungeon?"

"Of course I can't go in. But this is a penalty copy, which is a subprogram. The rules of the main program have a weak grip on it. It's just a patch. So I can figure out some loopholes and then do something.

Let's put it this way, you enter this punishment dungeon, and then I will find a way to transfer some information and information to the dungeon, and you will get my hint in the dungeon.

After that, you follow the prompts to do what you need to do. ”

"Can I enter the Punishment Dungeon? I am eligible to enter the Punishment Quest if I didn't fail in my previous quest?"

"That's who I am. A little special treatment for you, I've got a way to get you in.

Moreover, you also have an advantage: the other awakened people in the punishment dungeon must complete the tasks in the punishment dungeon itself, and if they can't finish it, they will be punished, perhaps wiped out.

And you don't.

Because you are not the one to be punished yourself, you are only with my help. Went in as a loophole.

So, after you go in. Just do what I tell you to do. You can ignore those story missions. ”

Chen Xiaolian's eyes lit up.

That sounds like a lot less difficult.

"What if I refuse?" Chen Xiaolian still asked.

"Then I'm not going to give you the information you need. GM frowned: "Cooperation requires contributions from both parties in exchange. ”

"If only to get information about the opponent. I think the price is too low. Chen Xiaolian thought for a while: "The transaction is not fair. For me, their information is not necessary, and I can wait, maybe one day I will encounter it in other copies. ”

"What if...... I'm telling you, they'll also participate in this punishment dungeon?"

The GM suddenly said this.

Chen Xiaolian was moved!

......

"Here's what I can tell you. These people failed in the London dungeon. So according to the rules, they must also participate in a punishment dungeon.

And it just so happens that this punishment copy that is about to be opened recently, judging from the time, these people are bound to participate.

Don't you want revenge?

Think about it.

In this punishment dungeon. You have a natural advantage.

You don't need to complete the mandatory tasks of the quest itself!

You can even hide and make trouble. Just let their mission fail...... They will be killed by the system. And you are tantamount to revenge.

Such a good opportunity, don't you want either?

It's easier than if you meet them in a dungeon in the future, and then everyone fights face to face, killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800, right?

And what if you meet in one of the quests in the future, but that quest doesn't allow the Awakened to kill each other?

What if the plot puts you on the same side?

There will be all these possibilities.

But in the punishment dungeon...... If you want revenge, it's much simpler. ”

Chen Xiaolian is really tempted!

"Although the punishment dungeon is cruel, the rewards inside are also very high. GM smiled, he stood up and patted Chen Xiaolian on the shoulder: "You think about it carefully, I'll give you a day to think about it." Then tell me the answer you've thought it through.

By the way, you can get in the penalty dungeon, but your party members' tires and spare tires can't enter.

Because you're a loophole, I can open the back door for you to enter. They're ordinary Awokens, and I can't get them in - and I don't think you can explain that to them. Obviously the last quest has already been completed, why do you need to enter the punishment quest.

You can't explain any of these things to them.

Of course, your other companions, like Roddy, can go.

Remember, only for the exploits. ”

After saying that, these GMs stood up, walked away with their plastic bags, walked outside the flower bed, suddenly sneezed, and then looked down at the plastic bags in their hands.

"Huh, where's the beer I bought?"

Obviously, the GM has left, leaving just an ordinary NPC.

Chen Xiaolian's face was solemn, and he thought seriously in his heart.

......

"Punishment dungeon?!"

Luo Di's face immediately changed: "You are crazy! Of course you can't agree to this condition! This is to play with your life! And there is no need for this!"

Chen Xiaolian's face remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "I understand what you said." But I have three reasons.

The first reason: the opponent also entered this dungeon, and after I entered, I had a natural advantage. It's easier to get revenge, I don't even need to confront them head-on, I just need to make trouble in the dark and sabotage their mission to kill these bastards!

The second reason: we need to maintain a cooperative relationship with the GM!

Third ......

The third reason is the most important!"

"What?"

Chen Xiaolian took a deep breath: "GM said that the punishment copy itself is a patch that exists for game losers, and it is used to specifically control the awakened.

Don't forget, we will inevitably maintain a 100% win rate in future missions!

What if we fail a mission in the future and need to have a penalty dungeon?

We lack understanding of punishment copies!

This is a subprogram, and the GM says that this subprogram is relatively weak, and the rules of the main program have weak control over it.

Perhaps, you can find something else here.

What else did you find?

I went in this time, and I had an advantage in itself.

At least I don't have to worry about any story missions or anything like that. Even if I hid and did nothing, and hid until the end of the dungeon, I would have survived.

So I think the danger is relatively low.

Well, this is our chance!

I can take the opportunity to get more information, about the mode of punishment dungeon, the rules of the game, the restrictions, etc., etc.

In case we fail to make a copy in the future, when we need to enter the punishment dungeon, we won't be caught off guard, and we won't be blinded and don't understand anything. ”

Seeing Luo Di's entangled expression, Chen Xiaolian deliberately smiled lightly: "Don't worry." I will definitely be cautious and stay safe.

If the danger of revenge is too high, I will do nothing and hide.

I don't have to do the tasks in the punishment dungeon anyway. Find a safe place to sleep behind closed doors and run out of dungeon time. ”

Luo Di's face was solemn, and he thought about it carefully: "I decided, I'll go with you!"

Chen Xiaolian frowned: "You don't have to ......"

"No! it's my decision!" Roddy said categorically: "In the London dungeon, my ability doesn't apply, and the number of people is limited, so I didn't participate." But this time, I won't watch you venture alone anyway!

Vulnerability, huh? Me too!

And now Jojo and the others are gone. Only I am by your side, only I can help you!

You don't have to say anything, you don't have to persuade me. I've decided!

This punishment copy, I have to go with you!"
