Chapter 18: The Player

However, the number of thorns was too large, and Sledgehammer was really unable to support it alone, and after a fierce counterattack, the low agility attribute made him unable to dodge, and he was madly entangled by several fierce and swift thorns like a living snake.

Several tenacious vines were wound together, and the sledgehammer was tightly bound like a rice dumpling.

Just like the difference between a chopstick and a pair of chopsticks, a single vine can easily break with the current strength of the sledgehammer, but when several vines are united, even if the power of the sledgehammer increases greatly, it is like a brute bull stuck in the mud, and it can't break free with all its might.

The vines slowly tightened, and the thorns on the surface pierced into the thick epidermis little by little, frantically sucking the juice of life.

Just as his vitality slowly declined and he fell into a desperate situation, all the vines seemed to lose their motivation and suddenly weakened and wilted.

People throughout the mine looked like they were going to be left in the same place, at a loss.

Although Sledgehammer didn't know what was going on, his instincts told him it had to do with Rare.

For a moment, the leaderless crowd didn't know what to do, just collapsed in place, sucking in the free air of immortality.

It wasn't until the man's figure appeared in front of everyone that everyone's eyes converged on a focal point again.

Seeing the long-lost figure, Sledgehammer couldn't help but exclaim

"Riel! You ......"

Riel gently pushed the gold-rimmed glasses, disapproving.

"Nothing, just went to deal with an enemy, and now the mine is safe and ready to move on."

"But...... But, Riel, your hand! ”

Looking at Riel's blood-drenched and twisted right arm, Sledgehammer couldn't help but burst into tears, but Riel looked calm.

took out the [Efficient Repair Plain Tablet] and shook it in front of the other party's eyes, and Riel said indifferently.

"Rest assured, the regenerative effect of this drug is very strong, and it will probably be restored tomorrow. It's just a game, so don't be nervous. ”

In an instant, Sledgehammer looked relieved and smiled innocently.

"Oh...... That's fine! ”

Riel glanced at Sledgehammer, and with his extremely accurate observation ability, it was naturally not difficult to see the changes in the other party.

The difference between close to three meters and more than three meters is as obvious in his eyes as an actor and a star.

"Why haven't you seen you for a while, and suddenly you've grown taller?"

Sledgehammer rubbed his head, and in his own ambiguous way of descriptive, he relayed to Rare what had just happened to him.

Riel listened for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.

[Hey, can you awaken and advance when you are beaten?] The balance of this game is good, do stupid people have stupid blessings...... However, he was selected to participate in the open beta of the game, which should be considered outstanding, and his perseverance is indeed not comparable to ordinary people. ]

In fact, Riel thinks too much about this, and the reason why Sledgehammer can be pulled into the open beta is purely because a game promoter has a problem with his work attitude, and he randomly found a few people who look good to make up the number......

Without Busterd's obstacles, the entire team liberated the entire mining area in one fell swoop.

Before leaving, Arrail did not forget to follow the guidance of the map to the temporary warehouse, stuffed some high-grade green crystals that could be transferred in the future into storage bags, and let the sledgehammer carry a few bags on his body.

At the exit of the mine, Riel finished his last speech.

The mine, once filled with the jingle of pickaxes, fell silent, and thousands of miners burst into their eyes with fiery light and rushed to the world outside the mine to embrace their own future.

With a relieved expression, he looked at the miners who were rushing away and sighed.

"You're finally free, Rare, what do you think will happen to them?"

Rare said without thinking.

"Probably all of them will die."

"Ahh......h

With a calm expression, Riel relegated the trivial facts.

"There's nothing strange about it, it's normal for people to die, everyone dies."

In the sledgehammer suddenly realized, relishing the artistic conception.

"Riel is right! You are not immortals, you will definitely die. But if they can get out of here, they should be better off than they are miners, right? ”

Glancing upwards at the dark sky, Riel made no secret of his opinion.

"After a week, no more than 1 percent of people will be alive."

"Ahh......h

Sledgehammer looked incredulous.

Since it was very empty along the way, there was basically nothing to do, so Riel responded patiently.

"Think about it carefully, a group of tool people who have been instilled with the idea of mining machines since birth, suddenly being poured a little bit of ignorance by a guy of unknown origin, and almost no independent survival ability broke into a world that they don't understand at all, and the mainstream world is a class order machine, and being wiped out or starving to death in a corner is probably the general ending."

"But for the sake of the game, I gave a 1% chance of accidents, which shouldn't be too much."

Such a realistic answer made Sledgehammer look frustrated, and he thought that he had done something great with Riel, but he didn't expect that it would be all useless in the end.

"Then what's the point of what we're doing, it's better to let them stay in the mining area and dig for the rest of their lives!"

Raising his full left hand and pointing at the sledgehammer, Riel replied with the utmost truthfulness.

"Originally, I didn't bother to care about these programmers, but you suddenly proposed it, and I did it on a whim, so I did it, that's all."

"Ahh......h

Hearing this, Sledgehammer looked remorseful, he didn't expect that he had inadvertently committed such a deep sin.

Riel looked indifferent and said indifferently.

"It's just a game, no matter what happens, what results are produced, the most important thing for us players is [experience]."

Sledgehammer was stunned.

"Huh? Experience? ”

Rare nodded, slowly.

"All experiences are not in vain, they are all condensed in [experience], as long as we have [experience], we can go further, have more powerful power, more rapid response, deeper thinking, and more keen insight......"

Looking at the foggy look on Sledgehammer's face, Relton suddenly had a feeling of playing the piano with a cow.

He shook his head, too lazy to continue him.

After leaving the mining area, Arrail successfully completed the system task [Pick Pickaxe Run].

【Quest [Pick Up Runner] Completed]

[Mission Evaluation: E]

[Reward: 120 General XP]

It can be seen that the game system is very dissatisfied with Rare's attitude of being reckless and inattentive to tasks.

The mission evaluation given is the worst, exhausting and exhausting through a series of thrilling battles, and the final task reward is only a little more than the daily task of concentrating on mining for a day.

However, Riel didn't care about this, he didn't bother to care what the system said about him, and he played the game by his own will.

Looking at the sky obscured by the rock formations, Ryll continued silently......
