Chapter 8: Reality and Enlightenment
Elite-level demonic beasts seemed to be different from ordinary demonic beasts, and after Chu Nan tore off the tail of the Wind Spiked Rat, there was actually a situation of blood gushing.
Without its tail, the Wind Spike Rats lose eighty percent of their combat abilities.
Chu Nan still chose to stomp on the head of the Wind Spike Rat continuously and flattened it.
After the death of the Tempestal Spike Rat, a book and a lump of ...... burst out Some graying rat meat.
Chu Nan picked up two items:
"Soft Water"
Magic Rank: First Order
Requirements: Possess a talent in the water system
Base Cost: 2 mana (single)
Channel duration: 8 seconds.
Basic effect: Treatment, touching the wound with the palm of the hand, using the proportion of fluid in the human body to regulate, can alleviate the injury to a certain extent.
Spiked rat meat: some sour, some hard, barely edible.
Looking back at An Ruoxuan not far away, Chu Nan found that this little girl might have been scared stupid, and actually sat on the ground, covering her mouth with her hands in her eyes, with horror in her eyes.
Chu Nan walked over:
"An An? You can't be so cowardly, you are scared out of heart disease again, right? ”
Chu Nan didn't say it, but as soon as he said it, An Ruoxuan actually cried directly.
"Ouch, why are you crying?"
When a woman cries, she is either held and coaxed by her lover, or she has to stop herself.
Chu Nan was more embarrassed, he didn't know how to coax, he couldn't go up and hug it, then nine times out of ten it would be defined as "the prodigal son of the prodigal son taking advantage".
There was no way, Chu Nan could only squat down and look at An Ruoxuan face to face.
After all, An Ruoxuan has not experienced the internal test, and it is completely unknown to the Continent of the Gods, I have to say that An Ruoxuan is still relatively optimistic, perhaps because there is a "kind" around her who does not look like a bad person, and Chu Nan's previous description of the beast tamer and the beautiful monster made An Ruoxuan's attention focus on the fantasy of the contract monster.
But the bloody battle just now should have completely stimulated An Ruoxuan's fear of the Continent of the Gods and her confusion about her future, so she couldn't help crying.
It seemed that she was embarrassed to be stared at by Chu Nan, An Ruoxuan gradually stopped crying, her little nose was already red, and she asked twitchingly:
"Chu, Chu Nan, don't your hands hurt?"
Chu Nan's left hand had already been completely stained red by blood, and the flesh on his arm had been torn beyond recognition, but Chu Nan didn't say a word.
Such an injury, during the closed beta, Chu Nan didn't know how many times he had experienced it, although he kept scolding the game official for why the senses were designed so realistically, but the attraction of the Continent of the Gods did not make any player give up because of this pain.
Of course, An Ruoxuan at this time does not need this kind of answer.
Chu Nan: "I also want to shout twice, who knows if you cry, it won't be interesting for me to shout again, and besides, I used the attention transfer method, so it is considered self-hypnosis, and it doesn't hurt so much." ”
An Ruoxuan: 'How can you divert your attention?' ’
Chu Nan: "Look at you." ”
An Ruoxuan: "......."
Chu Nan's joke seemed to have some effect, and An Ruoxuan's originally pursed lips seemed to have a tendency to change arcs, but they were fleeting:
"Chu Nan, can I not play this game?"
Chu Nan was stunned, only to hear An Ruoxuan continue:
"No, this is really not a game, Chu Nan, do you know how scared I was when you were bitten by that rat as big as a dog, think about it carefully, if you can't beat it, it's likely that you'll die, and I won't be able to run, and you'll die, will the system really resurrect us?" Even if you are resurrected and the death privilege is zero, you will still die, I'm so scared ......"
Death is the most difficult and inescapable fate for everyone.
Chu Nan then thought that during the closed beta, no matter how painful it was, everyone only regarded the Continent of the Gods as a game, so they had nothing to fear.
And now, on the earth, 10 million people have entered the Continent of the Gods, and everyone has begun to talk to the god of death, and the fear of death will surround their hearts, just like An Ruoxuan.
Even, even Chu Nan himself didn't know how long he would live.
It's just that, unlike An Ruoxuan, Chu Nan knows that it is impossible to return to his original life, judging from all the behaviors made by the current system, the system will not allow anyone to quit, either live or die The permission is zeroed and then disappears.
Therefore, compared to An Ruoxuan, Chu Nan can be regarded as having made a lot of psychological preparations in advance, and those who have the same psychological preparation as Chu Nan should be those players who have been taken care of by the system and participated in the internal test.
Chu Nan knew that the most important thing now was to give An Ruoxuan a reason, a reason to summon up the courage to continue playing this "death game".
Chu Nan said in a deep voice: "An An, is it okay for me to ask you a few questions?" ”
An Ruoxuan seemed very frustrated, but still nodded: "Hmm." ”
Chu Nan: "If one day, a person who has gained great strength in the Continent of the Gods returns to the earth, finds you, takes a fancy to you, and asks you to serve him, what will you do?" ”
"Huh?"
Chu Nan's question seemed to overwhelm An Ruoxuan, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she suddenly thought of something.
Chu Nan stared at An Ruoxuan and said: "Let me tell you, if this person has no conscience enough, he can choose to threaten you directly, and he wants you to volunteer to serve, because if you don't do this, your family, all the animals in your shelter will be killed by him, if he is a dark mage, he can also choose to use the characteristics of dark magic to directly imprison your body or induce some aspects of your body's instincts to make you lose your mind, of course, there can be other ways, I don't need to give examples." ”
Chu Nan said: "Look, don't say that the system won't let the player quit, even if you can, you will be washed away all the memories of the Continent of the Gods, then you who have returned to ordinary life, one day you encounter this situation, what should you do?" The system has said that every once in a while all players will be teleported back to the earth, that is to say, the power that players gain in the continent of the gods will affect the earth, do you think, at that time, the earth, who has the final say? ”
"It's a strong man, a strong man who has obtained a higher level and better equipment in the Continent of the Gods."
Without waiting for An Ruoxuan to answer, Chu Nan had already given the answer.
"Because of the Continent of the Gods, we can't go back to our old lives, whether it's here or on Earth, either adapt or be slaughtered, whether you are out of the protection of yourself or the people around you or even the small animals in the shelter, you need to overcome the fear in your heart, even if that fear comes from death."
Chu Nan put the book of "Soft Water Technique" in front of An Ruoxuan and stood up:
"I'll figure out how to make a fire, and you can think about it here by yourself, I know it's cruel."
Chu Nan turned around and left, but was stopped by An Ruoxuan:
"Chu Nan! Me, I'll just ask one question. ”
"Say."
"We met when we entered the Continent of the Gods, which may be said to be fate, but no matter what, at most, even if we meet in Pingshui, you save me when I have a heart attack, and you protect me when I encounter a monster, and you don't do anything to me, so I don't believe that you have a crush on me, so, can you tell me the reason why you do this?"
Chu Nan walked towards a bush and didn't look back, but An Ruoxuan still heard Chu Nan's answer:
"My mother had a heart attack when she gave birth to me."
said so, but whether it was because of the mandatory task given by the system, or because of An Ruoxuan's heart disease, maybe Chu Nan himself couldn't give an answer.
