Chapter 2: Black Reef
Black Reef, which exists in a separate space parallel to the universe, is rumored to have been created by the original Creator.
There is infinite magic hidden in it, but those who have the opportunity to step into it, adapt and survive, can be reborn and obtain unimaginable power.
However, this power is not easy to obtain, and in order to obtain it, it is necessary to go through the dreams created by the creators of the past and complete the tasks in them.
Complete the quest to gain the power of the dream to strengthen yourself.
It's just that if you die in a dream, you'll never wake up.
"Uh, what do you mean you'll never wake up?"
After listening to An Ran's description, Tianling asked puzzled.
At this moment, the two are sitting opposite each other on the bed, talking face-to-face about something that could change someone's life.
"Because the feeling when you enter the dream space, it is like sucking your soul away in an instant, if you die in the dream of Black Reef, the soul will be left there and cannot return to the real world, then you in the real world will really die."
Just now, Tianling's mobile phone received a file called "HJ", opened it and saw that it was a chat software, and it didn't need to be installed, and it was added directly.
This standalone chat software is different from other similar types in that there is only one discussion group option in it, called [Black Reef Discussion Group]
After clicking on the group, the system prompts:
Please enter your nickname, which must be no more than six characters and must be in Chinese characters, with no punctuation marks or insulting words.
After thinking about it for a while, he typed in the word "Tianling", and instead of using some exaggerated screen names, Tianling preferred to use his own name directly.
You can't view other people's details in the group, you can't invite others to the group, you can only view the information after joining the group.
The interface of this software is a black border, directly above is the red "Black Reef Discussion Group", and below is the chat history that just appeared:
"Welcome to the newlyweds"
"I don't know how many dreams this newcomer can hold onto"
"Yes, the survival rate of newcomers has been getting lower and lower recently."
"Yo, look at the name of a handsome little guy, do you want to follow my sister? Sister covers you~" said a man named Ginger Flavored Biscuit.
Seeing someone so blatantly flirting, An Ran twisted Tianling's waist fiercely and said, "Hey, I can tell you, if she adds you as a friend in a while, you can't agree!" ”
"Ahh Tian Ling said, pointing to the screen.
"This is the level mark of Black Reef, you can see that this person's name is preceded by a broken skull, which means that he is also a newcomer who has never experienced a dream like you."
Saying that, An Ran pointed to a person named [Dragon and Phoenix Hero], this Dragon and Phoenix Hero's name is very domineering, but he is a newcomer like Tianling.
"And after experiencing a dream, the skeleton will really be imprinted on your body, and at the same time, there will be a flame burning in the eye hole on one side, and when you experience it for the third time, the old skeleton will be completely repaired and transformed into a dark gray, which is what I am now."
An Ran pointed to his ankle and continued:
"After that, you need to accumulate something called the Black Star, complete a special mission left by the Creator, or live through a dream, you can get the Black Star, and as the number of stars increases, your skull tattoo will also change color, in order
Emerald green—blue—vermilion—wisteria—Xuan
The higher you go, the more black stars you need, and it is said that there are exclusive skeletons that match your own characteristics, but those are all powerful big people, and it is not easy for ordinary people to live to cyan blue. ”
As he spoke, An Ran showed a yearning look, but Tianling was not happy, and it could be seen from the conversation of these people that there was a huge danger in this so-called dream space.
Thinking of this, Tian Ling couldn't help but ask: "What do they mean by the survival rate of newcomers, is it true that the chances of newcomers surviving are very low?" ”
An Ran bowed his head and said indifferently after a while: "That's right, you look at this discussion group, there are more than 2,000 people in total now, and people will be pulled in every month, these are undoubtedly people who can see the mark, but even so, the number of people in the group has no tendency to increase."
In every mission, someone will die in it, and even none of them will survive, and the inexperienced newcomer who enters for the first time is the existence with the highest mortality rate, and the chance that the newcomer can survive the first mission is probably only... Thirty percent. ”
"Percent... Thirty? That's too low, isn't it? ”
Tianling was cold in his heart after hearing this, he was just an ordinary college student, because his brother Tianming loved parkour, so he also learned some skills since he was a child, and he thought that his physical fitness was better than that of his peers.
But can that alone make you the 30 percent? It's completely bottomless!
"Well, can you refuse to participate, can't I quit the group?" Tianling smiled bitterly.
"Of course not, you can't retreat, it should be in the next few days, the group will issue a task to you, tell you when to enter the dream space, and when the time limit is reached, no matter where you are, whether you want to or not, you will be forced to enter."
At half past seven in the evening, An Ran had already driven back, and the slightly old and monotonous house had returned to its previous appearance, and it was quiet and scary.
Sitting on the bed and holding his mobile phone, Tianling recalled what happened today, it was like a dream, but the sound of Didi from time to time in the Black Reef discussion group reminded him that all this was fucking true! Wake up!
This afternoon, Enron was teaching Tianling some necessary knowledge in the Black Reef.
For example, some people who have experienced dreams many times may master some special abilities, which will be imprinted on the owner's body in the form of totems and emerge when used.
There are many ways to get totems, but the chance of really encountering them is very low, some people only have one or two after ten experiences, and some unlucky people don't even have one.
And the power of each totem is also different, the same as the skeleton tattoo, from weak to strong, it is emerald green-blue-vermilion-wisteria-Xuan and real totems.
All in all, high risk is accompanied by high return, perhaps, you can really change your fate through this opportunity, thinking about it, Tianling was also a little excited.
At this moment, the mobile phone rang again, and the discussion group was opened, and the chat history at the bottom showed the latest message sent by the system:
[Member Ichishin Enran (nickname) has died, the place of death is the real world, and has been removed from the group]
