Chapter 34: The Second Man
"The mighty Danwall Empire is now in the midst of an undercurrent and full of dangers, and although Empress Jessamine is a great and benevolent monarch, as early as 8 months ago, an ocean-going whaling ship anchored in the Empire's Dunwall Harbor, and people were surprised to find that there was not a single living person on board, and all that survived was a whole warehouse of rats with red eyes...
Then, the plague swept through the empire like a storm, and with it came the political turmoil it caused, and the archipelago empire is now tormented, and your story begins..."
Wang Mancang's third entry, everything seemed to be very smooth, because he no longer had to face the helplessness and panic when entering the limit, Lao Wang calmly walked into the blue light curtain, as expected, fainted, until now the voice of the old girl in the space made an introduction, he did not wake up.
Lao Wang actually doesn't understand why the space always knocks people unconscious and then throws them into the trial world, anyway, everyone basically knows what will happen, isn't this equivalent to taking off his pants and farting, or is it that in the process of entering the trial world, there is actually a secret that the space doesn't want to be known the most?
This time, Lao Wang still woke up from a bed, if it is a bed, this word is actually not very accurate, originally his brother thought that the floor in the dark world and the dirty iron frame hospital bed in the blood-cursed world were enough to stumble, but this time the space seemed to brush his bottom line down again.
At this moment, under Wang's buttocks, there was a mass of straw covered with rags, so damp that it seemed to squeeze out water, and a narrow single room surrounded by a solid concrete wall covered with dog urine moss at the root of the wall, and there was not even a window, only on the wall that Wang was now facing was a rusty iron fence that was tightly locked.
There are lights inside and outside the small single room, but they may not add up to a large candle, and with this faint light, Lao Wang can barely see that the outside of this room is a narrow corridor, which is also cold and damp, but his vision is limited, and no matter how much it is, he can't know it.
Wang Mancang thought about several characteristics in this environment, and gradually pondered the taste, it seems that Wang Mancang, an excellent citizen who has been law-abiding all his life in the real world, is now in the number.
Lao Wang guessed correctly, his location is the famous Cold Ridge Mountain Royal Prison of the Danvol Empire, and its status can roughly refer to the Jinyi Weizhao Prison of the ancient Chinese Ming Dynasty, which is heavily defended and full of unjust souls, but those who can come in are not ordinary people.
"Selector No. 95270 Wang Mancang, you have officially entered the trial world through normal means - humiliation, this trial world is an official trial world, and you will face other selectors. β
"Please note that this trial world adopts a semi-open Selector Confrontation mode, where Selectors attack each other without any rewards or penalties from the space, and you will gain some pickup rights after killing other Pickers. β
"This trial world adopts the mode of fixed tasks with open exploration tasks, the selector must complete the fixed task issued by the space at the specified time, in addition, the selector must also complete the specified number of open exploration tasks in the space (the task is triggered by the selector himself), if the task cannot be completed in accordance with the space regulations, the selector will be punished accordingly, which may lead to the selector being wiped out. β
"Please note that you have been stalked using a special prop by Selector 93776, who has now followed you into the world of Trials of Humiliation. β
Well,It seems that this trial world is different from the last time,First of all,The selectors only see each other and at least become profitable,'He may have the props I need' Such a fluttering sentence is already a very sufficient reason to kill in the trial world,Hawkers,Random space will always arrange new moths.,For this Lao Wang is no longer surprised.,How much strength has improved put it aside.,It's a lot less when there's a fuss.γ
Lao Wang listened to the words of the old girl in the space, and stood up from the broken haystack while pondering, and sitting in this bumpy place always made him feel like a urine.
Compared with the fixed task,The open exploration task is a new thing.,Wait and meet with the bamboo after slowly discussing.,The point is that the consequence of not being able to complete the task becomes accepting the punishment.,This is to give the selector the possibility of paying a fine.,This is a kind of mercy in space.,But according to the consistent urine nature of the development of things.,This amount is estimated to be able to punish people for vomiting blood.,Even if you don't vomit blood.,Lao Wang can only treat this rule as if it doesn't exist.,He's now poor and white.,Whatever the fine is estimated to be nothing.γ
The semi-confrontational mode of the selector, it is foreseeable that this will be a more chaotic mode, and it is estimated that the situation of killing people and goods will occur frequently, so that the ugliness of human nature will be better experienced here than in the world in front.
As for the tracking tips, Lao Wang had already prepared, and after the bamboo used the road guide on him, he could only return to his own space to enter the trial world, and now he naturally did not teleport together, but he must be in a world.
After the inventory is completed, the next thing is to wait for the task, and then meet with Takenaka according to the plan, and continue to the next step according to the task, the style of the little guy arranging tactics has always been methodical, the corners of Lao Wang's mouth are slightly upturned, and he is pacing in the room, ready to wait for the arrival of the task.
"Please note..."The voice of the old girl in the space sounded again, and as expected by Lao Wang, the task came.
"Please note that you have been stalked using a special item by Selector 83652, who has now followed you into the world of Trials of Humiliation. β
"What the hell!" Lao Wang just felt that he had the style of a general, and he slowly became less alarmed, but at this time he could only hold on to the wall, and slowly slid back to the haystack again, his hands and feet were cold.
The old girl in the space spoke in a sweet voice, as always, but the content was like a thunderbolt, splitting Lao Wang alive into a stupid chicken.
"You have been stalked using a special prop by Selector 83652, who has now followed you into the world of Trials of Humiliation. The old girl in the space will answer as long as she hears the question, and repeats what she just said calmly.
Wang Mancang took a few breaths and bounced up at a much faster speed than he had just sat down, shocked and frightened, his mind was full of question marks, what was going on? What was going on!
"Selector No. 95270 Wang Mancang, your task in Trials World Humiliation is as follows:"
"Selector fixed tasks:
a. Your identity is automatically arranged by the space as Mark Mason, a close confidant of the Royal Guard Captain Corvo, since Corvo is now a suspect in the murder of Empress Jasmin, you have also been arrested and imprisoned for complicity, please break away from your cell in the Royal Prison in Coldridge Mountain, find Corvo and release him, and complete the escape with him.
Rewards: Random points*1500, Attribute points*1, Displacement points*100
Penalty for failing to complete a mission: Deduct random points *4000
b. Help Corvo successfully meet the Outsider, return to the real world alive, and successfully infiltrate the civilian area of Dunwall City.
Rewards: Random points*2500, Attribute points*2, Substitution points*350
Penalty for Missing Missions: Deduct random points *6500
c. Help Corvo defeat the High Overseer, lobbying and gaining the support of more than 20% of the Royal Chancellors to convince Corvo of his innocence.
Rewards: Random points*4500, Attribute points*3, Displacement points*250
Penalty for Failure to Complete Missions: Deduct random points *8500
The Selector must complete any two World Exploration Missions, if they fail to meet the standard, the penalty will be calculated according to the proportion of deducting random points * 3000 for every task less than the specified value, the World Exploration Quest cannot be shared, and must be triggered by the Selector independently, if the Selector who accepts the World Exploration Quest dies, the quest will not be reset. β
"The total time of the task, 12 days, after completing all the tasks, the selector can choose to return to the random space independently, or he can choose to wait until the expiration of the task, and force the return to the random space, if the task expires and the selector does not complete the specified task, then enter the settlement, and the space will process the selector in the next step according to the settlement result. β
Wang Mancang's brains are now blown up, and he can still hear these words, he stared at the wall in a daze, and after a while, he finally raised his right hand tremblingly, shook his big mouth fiercely, and scolded himself loudly: "Spirit! Mancang'er, dog calf, you are mental! Don't you always say that other people's little bamboo can't stand it, how can you get better now?! When encountering things, it's not like a fucking rabbit!" He seemed to be scolding and still angry, and shook himself again.
Wang Mancang felt that he was very useless now, and wanted to scold himself loudly, but he didn't know that in this tempering again and again, he had gradually grown up, and slowly his requirements for himself became higher, subconsciously, he hoped that he was a strong man, and for the chaotic future, he had greater expectations, he was moving towards stronger strength and greater ambition step by step, when Cao Mengde was young, his ambition was just to guard a county, Wang Mancang first entered the space, just wanted to survive, but in the end, only look at where opportunity and fate pushed themγ
Lao Wang's strength is not low, so that his brain buzzes with two slaps, but he finally woke himself up from his frightened state, and when he turned around again, his movements had become slow and firm, his brows were tightly knit and thinking, and his brain was already running at a high speed.
The first is to analyze the enemy, the second system notification, the content form is the same as the notice that Takenaka followed him into the world, it is certain that the comer also used a defective tracking prop similar to the road guide to enter the world of humiliation trial, which is nothing more than two possibilities, with good intentions and bad intentions, no matter what kind of possibility, it is now enough to make Lao Wang full of doubts.
The root of the problem is that Lao Wang's whole person has only been in the random space for a long time? You say that the tree is a big move, that is not at all, and the total number of selectors he knows in the random space can be counted on one hand, and Takenaka, who has the most to do with him, has also followed, in addition to this, he really doesn't know who else can follow him, whether it is to repay the favor or seek revenge, this is not reasonable.
Also, How was Lao Wang's selector number leaked?
The random space is full of all kinds of props similar to road guides, in order to play a certain role in protecting the transaction, to prevent the act of seeking revenge because of being deceived or simply someone killing people and stealing goods, the selector transaction has always been carried out using the mode of covering the selector's number, and the transaction mode must be agreed by both parties to see the number, before it can be opened.
Lao Wang didn't trade a few times in total, and he clearly remembered that all of them were carried out in the mode of masking numbers, so after such analysis, the possibility of good intentions of the comer was very small.
Suppose you secretly go to great lengths to get a person's selector number, and then spend important props to track him, it's not just to stay under the same roof with him, right?
There is another point that Lao Wang has to admit that the person who came uses defective tracking props, and if he has bad intentions, that is, he has made it clear that the carriage and horse are equivalent to an open fire battle, and he swaggers to tell you, I am here, you be careful!
In this way, this stalker has a strong self-confidence, he is sure that his strength is stronger than Lao Wang, and no matter what he wants to do to Lao Wang for the time being, this selector believes that Lao Wang can't stop him.
The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, the official crossing of Wei Wu, and the water of Anshi, which battle is stronger than the enemy?
Wang Mancang thought of this, stopped pacing his feet, stood still and took a few deep breaths, and decided that the analysis of the enemy would stop here for the time being, and then, the focus of his thinking had shifted to the task, and the panic just now made him not have time to read the task carefully, and at this moment his mind was certain, Lao Wang immediately called up the blue light curtain and checked the task.
There are three fixed tasks and two exploration tasks, judging from the reward points, it is deeper than the difficulty of the bloodborne curse world again, as for the Danvol Empire, Lao Wang's constricted brows expanded slightly, recalling two hours ago...
"Bamboo, you tell your uncle, do you have any business for a day, why have you done all these strange games that I have never heard of?"
"Uncle is so rude! I haven't been going to school since I was ten years old, I have so much time, and my life is boring, so it's normal to play games. β
"You can pull it down, you really seem to be justified when you say it, but the name of this game is also really stumbling, how can it be called humiliation, who is he going to humiliate?"
"Uncle, don't worry about this for now, listen to me. β
"The setting of the world of humiliation belongs to steampunk, what kind of uncle does steampunk know?"
"The little calf is looking for a cut again, right?
"In short, it's a hypothetical new technology, well, for example, through new energy, new machinery, new materials, etc., to show an alternate worldview parallel to the Western world in the 19th century, and strive to create its fiction and nostalgia and other characteristics, so to speak, uncle understands?"
"I don't understand what, YY has become a climate. β
"Uh... This explanation is really uncle's style, you understand it so right, in the world of humiliation, whale oil is widely used as a high-efficiency fuel, which has formed a technology tree that is completely different from the real world, the Danwall Empire is mostly an archipelago under its rule, the sea territory is vast, and the prosperity of the whaling industry has made the empire quickly strong, according to the uncle's words, this is where we have to toss. β
"Well, keep chattering. β
"The Empire is now ruled by Empress Jasmine, who has a daughter who is about the same age as me, Princess Emily, and is assisted by the loyal Chief of the Royal Guard, Corvo, and a number of royal advisors. β
"Isn't that quite similar to an old English lady inside?"
"It's true, but the queen was assassinated at the beginning of the background game, the chief of the guard Corvo was unjustly imprisoned, the empire was controlled by the regent, and the political situation was in turmoil, according to my analysis, it is unlikely that the random space will arrange a completely peaceful world environment for the selectors to experience, for the purpose of creating conflict, I can be sure that the scene of the queen's assassination is preserved, and there is a high probability that our entry point will be sometime after the queen's assassination. β
"yes, I see. β
"The rest of the specific tactics will depend on the mission, after entering the world, the uncle must meet me as soon as possible according to the agreement, after all, we have no means of communication now, which is still quite nerve-wracking. β
"Trust your uncle!"
...
Lao Wang's eyes slowly locked on fixed task A, and he muttered softly: "The little calf is really a fairy, if you want to join (converge) with the bamboo, I have to slip (escape) from this number (prison) first!"
I don't know why, as soon as he enters the random world, the black talk comes as soon as he opens his mouth...
