36. Breaking through violence



more

Traps, traps and puzzles are often encountered in the "Labyrinth" exploration, and if you follow the clues designed by the gamer to find a solution to the problem and break it one by one, it is an orthodox way to solve it; And if it is unreasonable and forcible to break through, it is called brute force cracking, and the adventurous team that likes to use this method is often jokingly called the "door smashing group".

Compared to the average adventurous team, the Doors-Slamming Troupe's approach lacks artistry and technical content, and instead reflects a violent aesthetic and great power - watching all sorts of elaborate mechanism designs crumble in the face of untechnical violence is another fun experience.

Although simple and crude, the practice of smashing doors has a lot of historical roots: in 334 BC, Alexander the Great conquered the northern Asian city of Gordium. There is a famous temple of Zeus, which houses a chariot with a buckle knotted between the yoke and the chariot with a dogwood rope. For hundreds of years, wise men and skilled craftsmen have been unable to untie it after several attempts, and it is known as the "Goldium Knot". Hence the rumor that whoever can untie this knot will become the king of Asia. Alexander was not interested in the knot, but he was interested in becoming king of Asia, so he ordered him to be taken to see the mysterious knot. As a result, when he saw the famous "Goldium Knot", he did not honestly try to untie it, but drew his sword and swung it and cut the knot in half......

The authenticity of this story is very doubtful, but those "literate door-smashing groups" like to use this story to flaunt themselves, proving that they are not brainless barbarians, but truly wise people who are wise and foolish and direct to their hearts.

However, game designers certainly won't like this kind of "smart and foolish" approach to problem solving. Adventure 36

So once you solve the puzzle using this method, it will cause unpredictable changes in the dungeon. At least nine out of ten of these changes are definitely bad, and the rest aren't necessarily good, so unless you're a bit of a brute expert with an overly straightforward personality, the vast majority of players won't consider this approach unless they have to.

Now, however, the time has come for the "last resort"!

Xu Tu is a person who is quite decisive in his "sexuality", when he was studying in Yueben, because of a misunderstanding and his best friend, he turned against his best friend, was destroyed the research data, and stole the success of the research, he was already difficult to turn over, but there was no nonsense, and he didn't even wait for the punishment of T University to punish him for "plagiarism" and left the book directly with his girlfriend, this kind of decisiveness made all follow-up means meaningless, and also allowed him to avoid more losses to the greatest extent.

At that time, he was only twenty-five years old.

Now he is a person who is not "confused" in his old age, he has experienced more things, and he has done things more simply and sharply, although the reputation of "Poison Military Division" is not good, but it is enough to prove that he is powerful.

At this moment, since he decided to use violent means to forcibly break this trap, he immediately took out a strange prop - it looked a bit like an electric drill commonly used in house decoration, but there were no wires, and there was only a faint white light on the place where the drill bit should be installed.

Xu Tujiang found a wall, put the "electric drill" against the center of the wall, and pressed the mechanism to activate it.

With a buzzing sound, the white light at the position of the drill bit and the magic array that appeared on the wall collided fiercely.

The dark red magic array on this wall was obviously used to prevent the enemy from destroying the wall, judging from its thickness and complexity, the power should be extremely amazing, but I am afraid that even if Cheng Peng, Long Biao and the others hit it, they might not be able to break it. But as the so-called one thing descends one thing, Xu Tu's prop seems ordinary, but it is precisely the nemesis of this "wall protection array", the high-speed rotating white light completely condenses the huge power at the top point, and the power generated at that point has reached an incredible intensity, no matter how strong the magic array is, it is also "forced" to retreat slowly under its impact, and about a minute later, the white light like a drill bit slowly drills into the solid wall.

With the sound of stabbing and stabbing, the drill bit continued to go deeper, only to see the stone chips falling in the borehole, and the light of the magic array continued to flicker, and it was already crumbling.

After about three minutes, the sound coming from inside the drill suddenly changed, as if it had broken through some obstacle, and at the same time, the magic array, which had been hidden from time to time, also made a crisp sound like glass shattering, and disappeared without a trace.

Xu Tu laughed and took this special prop away, only to see that there was an extra hole the thickness of an index finger on the wall that had been burned red, and cold air was blowing in the hole, making the walls around the hole full of dark red "color".

"The thickness of the wall is one meter six." He reported the record on the "electric drill", and then set his eyes on the crowd.

Cheng Peng smiled and asked Caroline Sartre to use a blizzard spell to temporarily maintain the cold air around everyone, and the ice and snow spear in his hand shook violently and blasted at the drill.

This shot was quite exquisite, first rotating the body of the gun at high speed, like a drill bit, and then the real qi violently "waved", pushing the body of the ice and snow gun to vibrate sharply, like a high-frequency vibration of the destruction probe, gradually shattering the solid wall.

After a few seconds, the wall that had once blocked everyone was shaken out of a hole more than a meter in diameter, enough for everyone to drill straight through.

It's done!

[Dear players, your team has used unconventional means to solve the puzzle of the dungeon, and the dungeon will produce unknown changes.] 】

[Dear player Cheng Peng/Xu Tu: You have cracked the "Scorching Hell" level and gained ...... experience points] Adventure 36

Breaking through this trap brought Cheng Peng and Xu Tu a large amount of experience points each, which was not conspicuous to Cheng Peng, but for Xu Tu, who was only a five-star entry, this experience point was not a small amount, enough to make his experience slot rise significantly, and the increase even made him seriously consider whether to continue to use this violent method to advance - if he could always get this level of reward, when this dungeon ended, he would be able to rise to the five-star level.

For Xu Tu, who has weak combat effectiveness and has always been a useful auxiliary personnel who is not very useful, and relies on following the team to upgrade with experience, this upgrade speed is very tempting.

However, he quickly dispelled this temptation - the whole team took risks together, and he couldn't put the whole team in unknown risks for his own good!

This time, they used brute force to break out of the scorching trap, and the copy underwent unknown changes, which was clearly prompted by the system. And the "unknown change" basically means 100% increase in difficulty, if this situation happens a few more times, I am afraid that the adventure team will really be here!

There is no room for confusion!

(What a pity!) The poison soldier looked like nothing was happening on his face, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

——————

Brute-force puzzle solving is actually quite rare in games, but it is very common in running groups (table word games), such as "there is a difficult trap on the door, so we smash the wall to move forward", which is actually common sense for many old birds - although as a DM, I always hate it......
