Chapter 8 Playing the game in the game
[Ding, the hidden quest has been changed, the current level is A-level, the time limit is 30 minutes, please note that death in the hidden quest is equivalent to death in the survival dungeon, and the penalty is doubled.] 】
"Is there a mistake, the task time has shrunk so much, and what's the matter with the double penalty of this sudden notification, you are the system, you cow [beep-], what's the big deal, you can change the rules casually with a notification?"
Although Li Weiyi complained in his heart, his movements were not slow, he ran towards the distant fire as fast as he could, looking back from time to time, and the crack behind him followed closely all the way, and it took about ten minutes before the crack stopped.
"It seems that this is an intermittent earthquake, although it is not common, but once it happens, it is a certain death. Sure enough, the hidden mission is not so easy to do. Li Wei said wholeheartedly, "Needless to say, the process of discovering this hidden mission, no one has the courage to calmly rush into the belly of the snake-shaped void, even me, it is because of my lack of strength, I was swallowed in one bite, if my strength allows, I will definitely choose to complete the side quest to kill that void, or run away." ”
"I don't know if the next big earthquake system will shorten the time again, according to the characteristics of this world, nine times out of ten it will, after all, the collapse of the world is actually very easy, a philosopher said before the twentieth century, the collapse of the world is just a butterfly flapping its wings, and the addition of me, a player, is undoubtedly much greater than the impact of a butterfly." It is not easy for Li Weiyi to keep thinking calmly at this time.
After running for about five or six minutes, the black fog in front of Levi's eyes slowly faded away, and finally suddenly dispersed.
In front of Levi, a path slowly unfolded, paved with light blue Lingzi, Lingzi kept flickering, and the path looked sparkling, like the reflection of the moon in the water, provided that there was a moon in this world.
As soon as Levi looked up, there was no black fog to obstruct him, and he could see the end of the path at a glance.
It was a small mountain, and the fire that Levi had seen earlier was from the slowly flowing magma on the hillside. On the side of the volcano, a hut could be faintly seen, and there was a slight fire in the hut, but it was the light of a candle. In the bright red lava, this dusk is very noticeable.
Nineteen minutes to go. As soon as Levi made up his mind, he raised his feet and embarked on the path of Lingzi.
However, this seemingly long path of Lingzi was like a teleportation channel, and Levi felt a flower in front of him, and the scene changed again, and when he turned around, he was already standing in an old hut.
An old man with a clear breeze on the ancient road, dressed in ancient costumes, sat on the Taishi chair, twisted his long beard in one hand, shook a feather fan in the other, did not smile, and his face carried the calmness of Mount Tai collapsing forward without changing color.
Li Wei looked around the hut to make sure that there was no one else, and then stared at the old man and asked, "May I ask your Excellency's name?" ”
"A man who is dead, a man who is about to die, don't mention it." The old man said incomprehensibly.
"Dead people, what do you mean?" Levi asked tentatively.
"Me." The old man did not shy away from admitting it.
"What about the dying man?"
Although, according to the elimination method, the person who is dying must be Li Weiyi, but with a hint of luck that the plot will not develop like this, he still asked.
"It's me, too." The old man smiled.
It seems that he misunderstood, Li Wei thought that the old man was talking about two people, but he didn't expect that he just answered his own question.
The old man said: "Visitors from the other world, you don't have to meditate, this world is about to die, to nothingness, and my will to descend on the dead body means that the dead will also die." As for the path of guiding you here, it is just a test of your choice. ”
"Choose?" Levi couldn't see any choice, maybe this choice is not for the player, but for the local creatures, he believes that 100% of the players, when they see a road in front of them, will take it as a system prompt or task guide or something, and do not hesitate to go up, after all, the game is lost, it's a big deal to start over.
"Choosing to come up is a road to life in death, and choosing to retreat is a road to death in life." Speaking of this, the NPC who claimed to be the Will of the World suddenly changed his words and said, "Visitor from the other world, are you looking for a way out?" We play a game, you win, I'll send you away, you lose, stay with me. ”
The old man Gujing said without wavering, as if he was talking about what to eat for breakfast, preserved egg and lean porridge or fresh shrimp and fish plate noodles?
"Can I not play?" Levi shrugged.
"It's not a multiple-choice question." The old man said indifferently.
"But......" Before Levi could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the old man's feather fan.
"I know what you're worried about."
After the old man finished speaking, the feather fan shook gently, the faint ripples spread, and in an instant, the earthquake that had never been cut off in the outside world stopped abruptly, and the old man's feather fan seemed to inject a boost into the dying world, and the biggest feeling for Li Weiyi was that the world was back to light.
[Ding, the hidden task has been updated, and the current task time limit has been canceled.] Players are advised to pay attention to their game time, play moderately, and live a healthy life. 】
"Time Limit...... Cancel? There is really no lower limit to the discipline of the system, and the rules are changed when they are changed. And is this guy in GM disguise? Levi said wholeheartedly.
The old man seemed to have insight into Li Weiyi's thoughts, and said: "Don't think nonsense, I don't know the setting of your world, but this world, I have the final say, at least for now." ”
"Uh...... Okay, you won, how do you say the game is played? ”
Levi has already accepted his fate.,At the same time, he made up his mind to abandon the game after going out.,This game is too unfriendly to players.,The survival copy is the world of death.,It's a little new.,People have a feeling of experiencing the "infinite flow" plot in the game.,But what is the world in this world? I don't know where this demonic god-level NPC is, what is it? There is also a brainwashing-like plot with a strong sense of déjà vu, if it weren't for the twelve years of education that repeatedly proved that the beliefs of the believers did not exist, Li Weiyi would have doubted his life now.
At this time, the old man slowly spoke: "The rules of the game are very simple, just walk out of this hut. ”
Levi thought for a moment and said tentatively, "I guess you must have set a trap outside the door, or if I take a step, you will use your ability to move the door back a step." ”
The old man said calmly: "You can try." ”
"Okay." As soon as Levi finished speaking, he turned and ran towards the door, stopping just as his hand was about to touch the doorknob.
Li Wei looked back at the old man, the old man was still shaking the feather fan, stroking his long beard, the ancient well was not wavering, just like a certain clever man sitting at the head of the city in the empty city, but people stroked the qin, he stroked the beard.
Li Weiyi said: "I'm going out now, I'm going out, I'm really going out." ”
"If you want to come out, you don't need to remind me." The old man squinted his eyes and said impatiently to Li Weiyi.
Well, finally there was a reaction. Judging from his impatient expression, this door may be a trap, for example, this wooden house is a seal, and the doorknob is a "key" or something, just like the five-fingered mountain pressed on Sun Monkey's body, Tang Sanzang will remove the A4 paper, and a Sun Monkey will be released, and then, Tang Sanzang will accept him as an apprentice and start a great journey. However, this story line is obviously not suitable for Li Weiyi, and if you want to say what this world can release, it is estimated that only demons and monsters can be released.
"It's a pity that there is no Tightening Spell." Levi muttered to himself, his hand hanging from the doorknob, and he didn't open the door for a long time.
