79. Soul cage
At the beginning of the game, everyone lacked props and equipment, and if you can get a good thing, of course, you should first consider using it yourself, and if you can't use it, you can also use it for your partners, and if it's really useless, you should consider selling.
As a result, the quality of the items sold in the 'Mirror Auction House' is currently very low, with most of the 'common' qualities, very few 'uncommon' qualities, and 'rare' qualities...... There was only that anesthetic needle watch.
And many of the items sold are very strange just by looking at their appearance, Bai Ye even saw that someone was selling useless [stones], and the price was marked at 999 reward points, completely holding a kind of 'What if there is a stupid X to buy?' 'mentality.
I wonder how they brought this stuff out of the game? ’
"That [Jenny's necklace] might be sold?"
Bai Ye thought of the ornament he had touched from his 'uncle'.
[Jenny's Necklace] is a 'rare' quality, and the effect is that it can give a cautious posture +1 level when worn, but the disadvantage is that only female players can wear it, and Bai Ye cannot use it.
And its stance upgrade effect is ineffective beyond level 5, which is considered a novice decoration, and the sooner you shoot, the better.
He chose consignment in the auction house interface, put [Jenny's necklace] in it, and after a little thought, marked a fixed price of 15,000 reward points.
At this stage, the market is unclear, so try to raise the price as high as possible.
Although the special effects of the necklace are not very good, the 'rare' quality of purple is really eye-catching.
People dare to mark 10,000 reward points for their 'rare' quality, and our 'rare' quality can't be sold lower than it, right?
……
After exiting the 'Mirror Auction House', Bai Ye returned to the workbench and checked his mailbox.
There were two more letters in the mailbox, signed 'Lawrence Gordon' and 'Henry Wilson'.
He first looked at Dr. Gordon's letter:
'White Night, you have faced death and been reborn, but in order for you to better understand the purpose of what we are doing, you need to go through one final test - to guide the four fallen to salvation.
The outcome of this test will determine your position.
I have prepared the stage for you to perform, please return to our base camp as soon as possible.
—Lawrence Gordon. ’
As he finished reading the letter, he noticed a 10-minute countdown in the upper left corner of his vision.
- Please use [Puzzle Pieces] to locate the world within 10 minutes, otherwise it will be considered as a given test by default.
"Push it tight enough."
After this countdown, even his 10-minute game interval was erased.
He scrutinized the 'Henry Wilson' letter.
'Don't take Lawrence's, boy, those sinful fellows don't deserve redemption, and the only way to do it is to stab them in the neck.
I expect you to do that, and only then will we have more of a common language.
—Henry Wilson. ’
The content of the letter from these two men is quite like canvassing for votes.
One side advocates giving the tested a chance at redemption, and the other advocates killing the tested outright.
How to do it, Bai Ye felt that it was better to decide after checking the advanced game.
……
He took out the scene positioning prop [Puzzle Block], and after choosing to use it, the [Puzzle Piece] broke down into a streamer and drilled into the 'door' where the game began.
- Your next game mode has been changed to 'Soul Cage' mode.
- Your next game has been designated as 'Gideon's Meat Processing Factory'.
"Force me to play a game of Soul Cage mode? Well, that's to try. ”
He walked to the door, and the 'Survival Mode' and 'Soul Cage' popped up in front of him, and under the influence of the designation of the [Puzzle Piece], the system automatically selected the 'Soul Cage' for Bai Ye.
An introduction and precautions about the 'Soul Cage' mode pop up in front of you.
Bai Ye took a general look and noticed that this mode is somewhat similar to the custom mode of ordinary games, requiring players to create their own scene copies, and it can only be created by dark personality players as hosts, and normal personality players can only choose to join the game.
In this mode, there may be some NPC characters in the scene, but there will never be any hidden plots, and it will be purely a contest between players.
The gameplay is relatively simple, with the main objective of the dark personality player being to capture or execute the normal personality player, who needs to escape the scene by solving puzzles or survive until the end of the game time.
And the degree of freedom of gameplay is very high, no matter what kind of personality, as long as the strength is strong enough, you can be lawless in this mode.
Of course, because this is a custom game mode, in terms of game rewards, except for specific achievement points, everything else is also the responsibility of the player, so it will be somewhat of a 'bet' nature.
When creating a game, Dark Personality players must first set the Survivor's winning reward, which can be either a bonus point or an item item.
A 'entry fee' is then charged to players with normal personalities, which can also be bonus points or prop items.
The system acts as an intermediary to keep the 'Win Rewards' and 'Entrance Fees' and distribute them after the game is decided.
……
After closing the introduction and precautions, a completely new interface appears in front of you.
The screen is somewhat similar to the 'Room Joining' screen, with rows of room sequences that are either 'Waiting for players to join' or 'Creating'.
Bai Ye noticed that the number of 'rooms' in the Soul Cage mode was not large, less than 10, so he thought that this mode was not very popular with players.
He looked at the existing 'room', and the room name was divided into two lines, the top row showing the scene name and the bottom row showing the player's own title.
[Scene: Macmillan Manor]
[Title: Hey...... I'm sorry, the European gas broke out, and I have a dark personality~]
[Number of participants: 4 (currently 3/4)]
【Winning Reward: 400 Reward Points】
[Entrance Fee (per person): 500 bonus points]
[Status: Waiting for players to join]
“……”
Good pit will be set up with rewards and entry fees!
The winning reward is shown as the total amount, and if the Survivor wins, the measly 400 bonus points will be split according to the number of survivors.
However, the entrance fee is charged per person, and 500 reward points per person is set up...... Did you learn this way from tourist attractions?
The rewards and entry fees are completely unequal, with players with dark personalities netting 2,000 bonus points (the principal will also be refunded) if they win, while normal players can only get 100 bonus points per person even if they win.
But despite this, there were still 3 players who stupidly joined in.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ye suddenly felt that there was a way to make money lit up in front of his eyes.
"It turns out that this model is not unpopular, but ...... Too popular? ”
……
Revise:
1. In the future, 'Escape Point' will be changed to 'Reward Point', which seems to be a more appropriate name if it is used as currency.
2. 'Escape Rank Points' will be revised to 'Points'.
That's right, I'm a Virgo.
