Chapter 30: Solving the Mystery (1)
Yue Qiang has always believed that his psychological quality is very good. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is also evidenced by the high 14 mental values given by the game system.
But now he felt like he was going crazy.
On the monitor, the short but shocking plot animation has ended, and the screen returns to the original game entry screen. The interface is as clean as ever, the red, green and blue progress bar in the corner is very quiet, the red is zero, the green is only a little bit, the blue progress bar was originally 30% of the line progress, but now it is advancing to just 50% of the position.
Next to the blue progress bar are four big words "Enter the game".
Yue Qiang looked at the familiar interface and felt terrible.
Want to click that "Enter Game" button? He didn't know.
He didn't know what was going on when he was dealing with the boss when such a plot animation suddenly appeared; I don't know what happens every time I'm about to die in the game, my own heartbeat will inexplicably speed up. He didn't even know if he would directly enter that battlefield when he clicked the "Enter Game" button now, and then be directly killed by the plot boss with a horse and a gun!
Yue Qiang didn't know anything.
He felt extremely uncomfortable right now, extremely depressed, and even had the urge to smash the computer.
In fact, this feeling is not something that has been felt since the beginning. This feeling of being kept in the dark has been there since he first started being forced into this game, and it was at its strongest when he found out that the Banhua Rao Xiaoting he was familiar with might be an NPC.
It was Luqiu Duanyi's explanation that made him forcibly forget the things that made him think about it and return to the game.
He remembered her saying: Only by improving the strength can we solve all this.
But there was always a voice in his heart asking himself a sentence, which was so simple, but he didn't know how to answer it at all:
When you learned that people in the real world could become dull NPCs, you still play the game as calmly as you do now?
Yue Qiang's answer at that time was: A woman who has no ill will towards me, she can understand all this after she says that she can improve her strength. But he couldn't hold back the uncomfortable feeling. As a normal person, he has the most basic common sense judgment, but everything that is happening now has long gone beyond the scope of common sense.
Perhaps, I need a copy of the Game Manual right now? Perhaps, I need to log in to the official website of "The Game" to learn more about the ins and outs of the game?
Yue Qiang sat in front of the computer desk, his thoughts boiling. Suddenly, the word "official website" reminded him of something.
A long time ago, he once made a post on the famous single-player game forum, vaguely consulting netizens about some situations, and then because there were too many things that happened, he forgot about this stubble.
He hurriedly took out his phone, intending to find the post. As I rummaged forward, I made up my mind that if I didn't figure out what was going on, I'd rather smash my computer than touch the game again.
Logged on to the forum, flipped through the pages for a long time, found the post I made three months ago, and clicked into it with trembling fingers.
"The second floor grand prize, is there any scattered wealth?"
"There's no JJ downstairs."
"The fifth floor must know the answer."
"You big parallel goods, let me come to Aite to the moderator to seal the IDs of your parallel goods."
"You big parallel goods, let me come to Aite Moderator to seal the ID+1 of your parallel goods."
……
There are a total of more than a dozen replies, all of which are flooding or formation or lottery, and there is no effective information all the way down.
Yue Qiang suddenly had some realization in his heart, he clicked "Go back to the previous layer" to view other posts in the forum, and those quality posts in the past, such as new game reviews, perfect archives, pass summaries, bug declarations, etc., all disappeared. The popularity of the forum is very active, but it is full of water stickers.
All of them, it's all water stickers!
He also searched for previous posts on the forum by time and found that the quality of the posts showed a step-type downward trend. And the inflection point of these ladders coincides with the rhythm of the blue progress bar!
By now, the game's blue progress bar is exactly 50% of the way. And this single-player game forum is also completely dead.
Is this the truth of the game?
Yue Qiang didn't give up, he still had a lot of ways to test.
The first way I can think of is naturally to call Luqiu Duanyi. He had always been reluctant to fight, but now he didn't want to wait even a minute. He lost all patience.
After the phone was connected, Yue Qiang directly asked: "What's going on with the sudden appearance of the plot animation in the game?" What happens if I die in the game? What happens if the blue progress bar advances to 100%? What's going on with people around me who seem to have turned into NPCs? Can you tell me what all this is about? Tell me! Tell me! ”
Yue Qiang roared loudly like a vent, and shouted out all the questions that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, one by one. He remembered very clearly that Luqiu Duanyi had hinted that he must not say "any" Chinese words related to the game, but he couldn't help it.
Yue Qiang waited for an answer on the other side of the phone, but his eyes were fixed on the computer screen, but he found something terrible.
The blue progress bar, which was originally accurately stuck at 50%, is "rubbing" forward!
With each game-related word, the blue progress bar steadily increased by a few percentage points. Now, the blue progress bar has stabilized at 70%, which is very close to 100%.
Is that why she won't let me say those words? Yue Qiang thought. He couldn't care about these things anymore, he only had one thought in his head, that is, he must figure it all out!
Lu Qiu Duanyi on the other side of the phone spoke, the environment over there was very noisy, she seemed to be selling something in a big shopping mall, Yue Qiang waited for a while before waiting for her reply.
"Have you seen the first episodic anime?"
"Yes." Yue Qiang replied.
"So, the blue progress bar is over 50%?"
"Yes." Yue Qiang replied again. When Lu Qiu Duanyi said these two words, the blue progress bar did not grow again, and it seems that the progress increase caused by the words was a one-time thing.
"So." Lu Qiu Duanyi said, his voice was still good, but it became a little numb, "I have mailed you the "Game Manual", take a good look." You'll take care of the rest. ”
"Game Manual"? Mail it to me?
When Yue Qiang was in a daze, he suddenly heard a "ding" sound in his brain. This voice he had heard many times in the course of three months.
That's the sound of the system prompt.
Before, this voice came from the computer's speaker, but now, it appeared directly in Yue Qiang's mind.
System prompt [Red]: Luqiu Duanyi sends you the item "Game Manual".
System prompt [Red]: You have obtained the "Game Manual", the manual needs to be viewed in the game, and you need to be in the mood to level 1 to view the basic part of the manual. Mood cultivation is being verified...... The player has "Van Xin LV1", passed the test, and opened the basic chapter of the "Game Manual".
As the system read out the prompts word by word in his mind, Yue Qiang noticed that the game's entry interface had somehow added something like a book. It's very small, it's very clear, and it looks the same as the book that Lu Qiu Duanyi reads in his hand at any time.
Is this the game manual?
He clicked on the book and turned the first page.
The first page is blue, with large bold letters at the top:
The blue progress represents the world conversion rate.
(The puzzle part of the first phase has finally begun, and when I wrote this chapter, I was still full of mixed feelings.) "Absolute Standalone Game" has just begun, please continue to smash me with tickets! )
