After experiencing a violent concussive attack, the surrounding roads collapsed violently.

The underground world was originally artificially carved out by excavation, and the continuous concussive attacks of the sledgehammer triggered a chain reaction in the rock tunnel, and the rock formation above collapsed, and the road that was not particularly wide was almost filled with falling rocks.

Pulling two pickaxes out of his bag, Riel said succinctly.

"Dig it."

Sledgehammer's face had an almost demented expression, and although Riel would often make him do something incomprehensible, this time he was really confused.

Why did you let me block the road and let me dig it up?

But with a kind of trust that didn't need to be justified, he did as Rare said.

Just as he was about to dig up the rockfall in front of him, Riel stopped him.

"Where are you digging? I'm telling you to dig up. ”

"Ahh......h

Riel said as he chiseled the rock wall above.

"Now the passage is full of enemies, monsters like just now, at least more than a hundred, dig them out and throw themselves into the net? You don't really think we're invincible, do you? ”

"And you don't have to think about the exit of the passage, it's definitely heavily guarded. The conventional road doesn't work, so let's go fast. Dig two kilometers up from here, and you'll almost reach the surface. ”

Of course, two kilometers is a theoretical distance, and with their technical strength, it is naturally impossible to dig vertically, but to dig along a certain slope.

This also happens to deviate from the original exit, which can avoid the other party waiting for the rabbit.

Although Riel has always been confident in himself, he is not yet able to ride the face of the number one force in the game at the beginning.

He didn't know what the punishment would be for dying in this game, or it would be better to play steady.

Under the guidance of Arrail's [Extreme Memetic] ability, the excavation work went very smoothly, and the possible problem of rock fracture and collapse was steadily avoided.

Riel also didn't expect that his [Digging] skill would really come in handy in the game.

LV3's [Mining] skill makes his mining efficiency about 30% higher than that of ordinary people.

However, in the comparison of the 007 brand perpetual motion excavator of the Fur Sledgehammer, Arrail's workload is basically no different from paddling.

After all, physical strength is Riel's ultimate shortcoming, and if it weren't for the physical strength limit of this game, he wouldn't be able to carry a pickaxe to kill him, so why would he have to play anything to dig into the ground and improve.

After digging for most of the day, Riel was also exhausted, but he made a major discovery, and that was that using the [Mining] skill can really increase the experience of the [Miner] class!

After half a day of exhausting work, Riel also gained 6 points of excavation experience.

So he came to the conclusion that the level of intellectual development of people who have risen to the level of their profession by digging alone should be more or less problematic.

"Oops, sleepy, it's time to sleep...... See you tomorrow in Rare! ”

Digging and digging, Sledgehammer suddenly yawned and fell asleep, and as soon as his head hit the hard rocky ground, he let out a long snoring like a dock horn.

After calculating the time, although it is impossible to know the exact time point underground, more than ten hours have passed since I came to this world, and it is almost time to rest and sleep.

According to Sledgehammer, as soon as he sleeps, he will go offline and return to the real world.

After observing Sledgehammer as he fell asleep for a while, Riel was able to determine that the in-game character was not something that the player had directly crossed into.

It's probably like the consciousness enters the game, and the body is still in reality.

"Can I go offline when I sleep......

While Riel wanted to try it out for himself, his body clock was unfortunately still very stable even in the gaming world.

In the real world, Arrail is like an accurate machine, falling asleep at 12 o'clock and waking up at 4 o'clock every day, with an error that can be calculated in almost seconds.

Even in the game world, he still seems to have inherited this fixed behavior template, and before 12 o'clock, he is not sleepy, and he can't sleep even if he closes his eyes.

With some effort, Riel blocked the excavated passage behind him with rocks, after all, if it could be taken offline, the in-game body would most likely enter a defenseless unconscious state.

If an in-game character dies, Riel doesn't know what will happen, so there's never a bad deal in being cautious.

Time passed little by little, and finally at some point, Riel felt a sense of sleepiness that had become natural in his mind.

Arrail leaned back, picked a suitable position, leaned on the pure natural cowhide pillow, and instantly fell into a deep sleep.

Tick, tick, the sound of the hands of the pocket watch beating rings in my ears......

The snow-white walls were monotonous and withered, the black reticulated armchairs creaked and moaned, and the whole dead room quietly woke up.

"This is ......"

The sleepy eyes gradually opened, and the sharp gaze slowly revealed from the blue eyes, vigilantly patrolling the surroundings.

Simple and stylish layout, plain but not cheap decoration.

Convinced that he had indeed returned to reality from the game, Riel was lying on his back in a chair at the psychiatric clinic.

As his leaning back body slowly leaned forward, Rare's eyes gradually became soft and restrained, and something sharp was slowly hidden into the depths of those eyes.

The white cuffs are gently rolled up, and the delicate dial with bare gears makes Arrail social elite temperament revealed.

In this era of gradual enchantment and integration of functions, watches have been exploited as a symbol by smart products.

Wealth, style, style.

The quenched symbolic meaning gives new value to obsolete machinery.

For Arrail, the watch is a symbol of time.

The value is not only to keep yourself in the sense of time at all times, but more importantly, to make psychological cues to others - I care about time, please don't waste my time.

On the silver dial, the slender minute hand points straight to 12 o'clock.

4 o'clock sharp.

The standard wake-up time, as always, except that this time the place to wake up is different from usual.

Inside the clinic, the young man in the black dress was long gone, leaving no sign of existence as when he came.

Gently stroking his forehead, it seemed that there was no evidence other than the memories in his head that he had ever participated in the open beta of a surreal game.

If you are an ordinary person, you may wonder if you are stuck in the clinic and fell asleep and had a strange dream.

But it was clear to Riel that what he had just experienced was not a dream, but a game that actually existed.

The reason is simple, Riel never dreams.
