"So, aren't you a potion used to break the lock?" Zuo Jiu asked in a voice after a moment of silence.

"No, and it's not a potion it's spring water. Von replied with a shake of his head, "It's said that this is an item that can be immersed in this spring water lose its special effect. ”

"Spring water?" Zuo Jiuning repeated in a low voice, and then asked Von, "Where did you get it?"

"Alice gave me a reward for completing the mission. ”

Alice

Although Zuo Jiuning wanted to ask again, he thought that this was probably under Loki's control, so on the surface, he didn't continue to dwell on this black spring, but continued to think about the current problem of unlocking.

Von said that the effect of this spring water is to remove the special effects of the item, and this idea should be correct.

Special effects are also a feature of Spacetime OL, which is derived from the game's immersive system.

Space-time OL has a high degree of realism, but this realism can cause some problems in the design of the game - such as unlocking.

There are many unlocking techniques in reality, so if you pursue realism, the locks in space-time OL should be able to be pried open, but if you can open them as long as there is a lock-picking technology in reality, then the thief's unlocking skills and special keys are meaningless.

To this end, the solution that the space-time OL development team came up with was this special system - the special effect system for items.

For example, the lock here has a special effect that can only be opened with a thief's skill or a specific key, so it is useless to use the general method, which perfectly solves the contradiction between the realistic system and the game design.

And the effect of the black spring water is to make the lock lose its special effect, but it's just that the special effect is gone, and the effect of the lock itself is still there, so Von can't open it.

However, this kind of lock is easy to pick open for Zuo Jiuning, after all, it is an old lock from previous centuries.

After thinking about the cause and effect, Zuo Jiuning took out two metal wires, stabbed them twice, and the lock was opened.

"Awesome!" Von exclaimed, "How did you do that?"

"Guess~" Zuo Jiuning was much lazier to explain, but pointed to the box, "You can open it." ”

Anyway, the items you get out of the box in this event are a copy for everyone in the team of this event, and it doesn't matter who opens it, it's better to let Von, who is more lucky, open it.

"Really, really let me drive?You/are/the/best!" Von said excitedly, his favorite thing was to open the box, touch the corpse, draw the lottery, etc., so he couldn't wait to open the box.

Two people received a system prompt at the same time: "You got a [dungeon blueprint?special hidden area?] Area A9], a [dungeon design drawing?special hidden area? Zone Z13], a dungeon design diagram of the normal area? Area A: Fragments. ”

Sure enough, Von's luck is good, although Zuo Jiuning knew that this kind of design map might be opened in the guò forum, but no matter how she opened the box, she only opened an ordinary map, and never opened a design map, let alone opened two at a time plus a fragment.

The design drawing is also a characteristic system of space-time OL, which is a design drawing of a certain area, an item, etc., which is much more complex than the general drawing.

Compared with the map, the advantage of the design map is that the various structures are clear, but because it does not have the same automatic navigation effect as the map, it is not as clear as the map directions, and even many players can't understand it at all, so most ordinary players don't want the design map but want the map.

However, Zuo Jiuning is not an ordinary player, for her, this kind of design is absolutely priceless, because it can see not only the path, but also all the structures, which is very helpful when it is PVE or PVP, and can even calculate the location of the other party or calculate the opponent to their advantage, etc.

Just when Zuo Jiuning was excited, Von patted her shoulder and said apologetically: "Sorry, Sister Bacchus, I have to go offline for a while, someone is looking for me in reality." ”

Zuo Jiuning shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "No/problem, how long?"

"Well, I don't know, this might be a bit complicated," Von scratched his red hair, "I think, uh, about half an hour to an hour in reality?"

"Okay, I'll see you back in an hour and a half. ”

"Thank you, Sister Bacchus!see/ya!" Von said and went offline.

In the team activity of Spacetime OL, as long as one person goes offline, the others will be frozen in the event, and they cannot go out and continue to participate in the event.

So Zuo Jiuning also went offline, and it just so happened that she also had things she wanted to deal with

After the left wine condensation went offline, turn on the computer to see the monitoring of the entire villa.

After confirming that Ye Xi and Aikeva were in the game warehouse and that no one would come in to disturb her for the time being, she blocked all the general communication and network signal frequencies in her room, took out a homemade satellite phone with a specially encrypted signal frequency, pressed a few buttons, and dialed a call that she hadn't dialed for about a year.

This call is a rare no-image call in this era.

After the phone rang more than a dozen times, the other party picked up the phone, and a clear female voice: "Hello?"

Zuo Jiuning showed her usual weird smile on her face, and replied: "Haven't/heard/from/you/for/a/long/time, Avery~"

"Indeed, I haven't been in touch with you for a long time. But you didn't take the initiative to contact me, Z~" The girl on the other end of the phone who was known as Avery said with a smile.

"Blame me~"

"Hahaha" both laughed.

"Anyway, it's rare that you'll reach out to me, and it's weird to say it's true. Avery evaluated, then asked, "Anyway, what's going on this time?" Or did you notice something wrong with the plan?"

"Humm, I think there should be nothing wrong with the plan~ At least for now. ”

"Oh, that's something wrong with me?" Avery affirmed, "Come on, I'll do my best." ”

"How about satisfying my intellectual curiosity?"

"How/so?" Avery raised an eyebrow.

"You, are you a real NPC in space-time OL?" Zuo Jiuning asked directly.

This is the question that Zuo Jiuning had when he saw the name of the NPC Avery in the game in his last life, and he saw it in the [Mythical Artifact Illustrated Book] in the game in this life, so he planned to ask.

Avery smiled, "Exposed so soon?"

Zuo Yuning chuckled and asked, "Do you think you hide it well?"

"Hmph, are you really good at treating a real NPC like this?

"I believe in your work ethic~"

Avery pouted, "Then you don't want to get hints from real NPCs? That's why you're calling, right?"

"No, no, no~ I don't need it, it's boring~ You know I've always been a fan of spoilers. ”

Avery frowned, "Hum, what are you calling for? just to make sure I'm a real NPC?!"

"Part of the purpose, yes. Zuo Jiuning replied, and then asked the subject in a brisk tone, "However, I still have a question, how did you get connected to become a real NPC by Spacetime OL?"
