Chapter 47: Drilling Inward (4000 words)

Outside the big cave of the Mo family. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are several dead bodies here, all of which are the remains of Zhao soldiers.

A dark figure slowly appeared on the flat ground, he was wearing the military uniform of the Zhao army, which was different from that of ordinary sergeants, and the shoulders of the military uniform were painted with three black feathers.

He crouched down and carefully counted the number of corpses on the ground.

"One, two, three, three bleed to death; Two others turned out to be scared to death by ruptured liver and gallbladder; He also died...... Was there something unexpected? The figure whispered to himself, "Thanks to coming along, Doctor Zhao Yuan really expected things like a god......

The shadowy figure ignored the corpses on the ground, and his form faded and blurred, eventually vanishing. The direction of disappearance is the Mojia Cave.

……

On Yue Qiang's computer monitor, a new prompt appeared:

The system prompts [blue]: The first stage of the mission "Call for Help" has been completed.

The content of the task "Asking for Help" is to go to Mojia Dazhai to ask for help. Yue Qiang had just killed a boss in a thrilling way, and the hint he got was only to complete the first stage. This seems to mean that there are stronger enemies right away?

Wait a minute...... What's the deal with blue?

He is now extremely sensitive to color-coded system prompts, which are generally much more important than normal prompts. Green is to open a new system, a new attribute or a new skill; Red is the degree of decryption, which is still in a very rudimentary position; But blue is different.

Blue progress is the conversion rate, which is a pretty damn thing. His blue progress is now over 70 percent. I remember that Luqiu Duanyi once reminded him that from now on, he should try his best to suppress the blue progress and move forward, so as to buy more time. This obviously means that the slower the blue progress, the better.

Looking into the corner of the computer screen, the blue progress is exactly 80%. Apparently completing this task led to a slight increase in progress, to 80%. And this time, because the progress has reached 80%, the system also gave a hint out of the ordinary. Probably something important has changed.

Yue Qiang looked around and quickly noticed the change.

The health bar is gone.

Everyone's health is gone.

When he just slid the mouse over the tiger's corpse, he also showed a dark gray empty blood bar, and the corpses of the other Zhao soldiers were also empty blood tanks, and the blood bar of the closed-eyed girl who was wrapped in a bed sheet was mostly a half-tube. However, when this system prompt appears, all health is not displayed on the screen.

When Yue Qiang saw this change, he naturally remembered when he first started playing games. At the time, he was struck by the game's terrifying realism and the strange combination of the game's brutal interface. He had pressed all the keys on the keyboard, but he had only found two interfaces: characters and items. Especially for debugging resolution, archive, switch, shadow, depth of field, these options are all absent, not to mention the display of the switch blood bar.

The blood bar, from the time he played the game to the present, was turned on by default.

Now, however, when the blue progress reaches 80%, the health bar display suddenly turns off.

The result of closing the health bar is undoubtedly that the game is more realistic.

When he first started playing the game, he just thought it was realistic. As the game lengthened, he clearly felt that the level of realism was gradually increasing. The first is the intellectualization of NPCs, from being able to repeatedly talk to Chen Zihan dozens of times at the beginning, to later NPCs such as the village chief can already make decisions independently, all the way to the righteous and awe-inspiring hunter Tu Xu, and the obscene and life-sparing doctor Ming Que. The behavior and personality of the NPC are gradually becoming more and more personalized, rather than being so realistic at the beginning.

It's a gradual process.

Even more striking evidence is that after 50% of the progress is reached.

After the plot animation began, a character that made Yue Qiang very memorable appeared - Ai Qian. It's hard to remember the combination of charisma and sexual performance, and this person doesn't look like an NPC at all. And Ai Qian also has a different attribute from other NPCs - 3% memory unlock.

Yue Qiang recalled these contents, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him who was too beautiful to speak. If she is just an NPC, Yue Qiang will not believe it if she is killed. Let's not mention the same memory unlocking degree of 0%, just the skill of reasoning and judgment just now, the strength to judge the truth through various details, and the calmness shown by the small details of pulling the sheets to make a sound, not to mention NPCs, even people in reality may not be able to do it.

These changes don't come suddenly, but become more pronounced as the blue progression increases.

And by the time the two characters of Ai Qian and Yin appeared, these changes had reached a level that could not be ignored at all.

If you want to try to find the reason for these changes, you can start by asking a question.

It's an easy question to ask.

Ai Qian, Yin, are they players?

In another way, is this game a stand-alone game? Could there be other people, other players who have a similar experience to Yue Qiang? Inexplicably enter a game, and then encounter a three-color progress bar, playing and playing, the progress bar will grow, the real world will become more and more fake, and the game world will become more and more real?

Could anyone else have had the same experience?

Could this girl in front of her be this "other person"?

It's also simple to wonder about this question.

Just ask her.

So Yue Qiang typed: "I have a lot of things I want to ask you." ”

At this time, Yin also spoke, and her voice was very good: "I don't remember everything, so I have a lot of things I want to ask you." ”

"I'm going to ask first." Yue Qiang typed quickly, "Who are you, how did you get here, and, ...... you?"

Before Yue Qiang's line of words could be typed, he was interrupted by Yin's words, after all, typing was not as fast as speaking.

"Let me say it first, because I'm sure what I'm going to say is more important than what you're saying." The voice said flatly, the voice was good, but the tone was unquestionable, "Although what I said may not be very good, and the tone is relatively harsh, the most important thing now is to solve the problem." I believe that at this point, the two of us are in the same goal. ”

"From the few minutes I have been in contact with you, I can easily analyze you. You are a person who is very good at fighting, and if you turn the tables against the sky and kill the tiger in the case of absolute disadvantage, it shows that your strength is very strong, and as a man, strong strength is very popular. ”

Hearing Yin praise him a few words, Yue Qiang knew that these were not the point. The latter tone must say that he has frustrated himself, and he will definitely be followed by a "but".

"But." Yin continued, "Your mind is two. ”

"You can obviously use me as bait just now, and attack while the tiger kills me and tears me apart, which is definitely much higher than the blind attack you just now." Yin's tone didn't change at all, as if using himself as a decoy was a very ordinary thought, "Let me tell you this, if you use me as bait and then you wait for the opportunity to attack the tiger, you have at least half the chance of surviving." But you are delusional in trying to save me too, hoping that both of you can live, and the success rate is definitely not more than 10%! ”

"50% against 10%, you're making a very bad decision. If it weren't for the luck and all kinds of coincidences, the two of us would have died just now! Yin concluded, "When you encounter a battle, you are hot-headed and can't see the situation clearly, so you are a very two-person person." ”

Yue Qiang felt that he had saved her but was said to be two, and wanted to refute a few words, but was interrupted again.

"Because although you have good strength, you don't have a clear brain, so you just need to listen to me later. Time is pressing, and I don't have time to explain the problem to you one by one. I can see that you seem surprised to meet me, and in fact I have a lot of doubts about this, about you, and even about myself. However, these issues are not urgent and can be postponed for the time being. We need to get the most pressing things out of the way now, and then sit down and talk about the things you want to ask me. ”

Not urgent?

Yue Qiang subconsciously looked at the screen, and suddenly noticed the system prompt that had not completely dissipated.

The boss of the first stage...... That's right. This is just the boss of the first stage, and I'm afraid there will be more later! The boss behind is the urgent matter!

"By all indications, there's a tiger here! And I'm afraid it's stronger than this one! ”

"And a tiger? How do you know ......"

"You don't know because you don't know how to observe." "First of all, the tiger you killed is a female, which can be seen from the fluff around its cheeks, its eye sockets, and its forehead. Female tigers generally have much less fuzz around their cheeks than male tigers, and the orbital spacing is also closer, which is generally considered similar, but can be easily distinguished by closer inspection. Not only that, but this is also a female tiger whose estrus period has not completely passed! This is a very important piece of information. ”

"Tigers are solitary animals, but when they are in heat, the male and female tigers have a short 'marriage period', and they are in pairs at this time, and that's just the first point. The second point to note is time: have you noticed? Now that the sun is about to set, the tiger's foraging time usually starts at dusk. We're really lucky...... You and I happen to come at dusk, when only the female tiger is at home, and the male tiger happens to be out foraging! ”

"If we let our guard down at this time and wait until the male tiger comes back, we will really die!"

Yue Qiang silently admired the observation ability of the sound. He himself knew that there should be a boss behind him through the system prompt, and this girl confirmed this just by observing and analyzing, and also confirmed that the boss should be a male tiger.

"I still have a little problem." He said with a hint of luck, "What if this male tiger is ruthless and the two tigers have already divorced?" ”

The girl didn't answer, and it was another voice that answered Yue Qiang.

It's very low, and it's very uncomfortable to listen to, a bit like thunder and a bit like a drum.

This voice, Yue Qiang once heard it when he was outside, it was very low, but the volume was very loud.

This voice was the voice of Sergeant Zhao Guo who had scared him to death just now. At the time, he just thought that the source of this sound must be terrifying, but now, he knows what it is.

Tiger roars.

"Male tigers only let out this kind of roar when they are in heat, and the sound of a tiger roar can travel up to two kilometers away! Judging by the tiger roar this time, I am afraid that the distance from the sound source will be more than two kilometers...... This is an extremely powerful male tiger! Yin said.

Although Yue Qiang lacks common sense, he has watched a few episodes in the animal world. Male tigers in the animal world are generally several laps larger than female tigers. Hitting the female tiger in front of her is already nine deaths, and if there is another more powerful one...... It's a complete 0 win rate.

In this kind of battle, the difficulty and reward are not proportional. Is it really necessary to fight?

Wait a minute...... Let's take a look at what rewards this female tiger can offer.

"Wait a minute, I'll touch the corpse first." Yue Qiang said, and walked quickly towards the tiger corpse.

"Touching a corpse? What do you mean? ”

Yue Qiang didn't answer, he touched the female tiger. Didn't drop any equipment, only gained 4 progress points. The progress point system hasn't given any explanation.,Anyway, after the plot animation.,After the monster fights, this is dropped.,It's just a small amount.。 Such a tiger also only lost 4 points.

There is something wrong with this reward for touching the corpse.

According to common sense, the more difficult the task, the richer the rewards. Either 4 progress points is a lot, or it's more likely: once the mission is completed, there will be a special reward!

A super bonus that more than makes up for its difficulty!

Yue Qiang carefully recalled the previous game, and suddenly remembered that the system had given him a hint.

And this tip is still twice.

It was in the task of "defending Yuejia Village", when he killed two Zhao soldiers, the sergeant seemed to hate himself very much before he died, and it seemed that he could have treasures to take when he went to Mojia Dazhai, and later when he killed Zhao Junshi, he directly said, "Here you can get a chance to avoid death." This is no longer an implicit but an explicit.

Yue Qiang's death penalty for this game is a guess, and this guess has been agreed by Luqiu Duanyi and the game manual she sent. Therefore, if the reward can "avoid death", then it can definitely match such difficulty, after all, no matter how much the reward is, it must also be used with life.

Although touching the tiger's corpse is only rewarded with progress points, it is very likely that after completing this task completely, the system will somehow give him a reward for "avoiding death".

This is highly probable speculation!

So what we have to consider now is the level reward of "avoiding death", whether it is worth fighting with a success rate that is infinitely close to 0.

Yue Qiang touched the corpse of the female tiger and was silent for a while.

Yin sat next to him, waited for him a little, and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

"I'm weighing whether it's better to run away now, or just stay here and wait for bigger prey." Psychologically, Yue Qiang wants to fight, and the sense of combat and operation in the game has always been something he enjoys, but this game is too risky, and he must think about it carefully.

"You don't really have a lot of options. I know what you're thinking: before the tiger has returned, leave this tiger's den immediately, and just dodge it. "But in fact, the tiger's activity radius can reach 20 to 30 kilometers, and the more powerful tiger hunting radius will be even farther, combined with the tiger's speed and pursuit ability, you will definitely not be able to avoid the tiger's tracking." ”

"And what's your plan?"

"I have a better plan to increase this almost 0% win rate to 50%." Yin said confidently, "The way to escape is not to escape outside the cave, but to follow this hole and continue to drill inside!" ”
