Chapter 2 It looks simple, but it's actually very difficult
'What's going on...... ’
Yechen was at a loss and suddenly became agitated. No matter how he operates, the system interface, which he has used to be extremely proficient, still does not respond at all.
'What's going on, it's blown up?' ’
The entire island was enveloped in the glow of [2656 Anniversary Fireworks], with a loud bang. The island is torn apart, and the falling island forms a huge whirlpool on the surface of the sea.
'Oops! ’
Yechen felt a burst of weakness and fell into the sea and was swallowed by the whirlpool.
As the fireworks fell, the surroundings darkened and calmed down, and only the ripples on the surface of the sea still recorded what had just happened.
in the main hall
Seventeen NPCs form a circle.
"Lord Yechen is gone!"
"Can't be contacted!"
"I watched Lord Yechen disappear."
"We are abandoned!"
"Lord Yechen will not abandon us."
"Don't panic, I don't know what the situation is yet"
"What now..."
"Lord Yechen summoned us here, there must be something important, but it disappeared too suddenly."
“……”
“……”
"Strengthen the defense of Night City, increase vigilance, return to their respective management areas and enter a state of alert, and wait for Lord Night Morning to return." The speaker was the supreme administrator of Night City, Hillland.
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
“……”
A white light flashed through the hall, leaving only two people.
"I'll patrol around Night City, and you stay and wait for Lord Nightchen." Zegolez looked at Hillland, who nodded.
Then a white circle of light appeared above Zegolez's head, and the next second it appeared outside Night City, and Zegolez spread half a purple wing in the air and traveled in one direction.
In the [Brave] setting, after the player captures or builds a castle, after giving the NPC permission, the NPC can teleport in a specific area of the castle, in addition to special areas, restricted areas, etc.
The city lord uses system permissions to move in the castle and the city lord's ring is similar to a ring, the ring is a scarce prop, and it can be turned into a bracelet or collar headband, etc., as long as it is worn on the body. (Players who join the castle in the game have rings, and the lord has control of the lord of the castle, the throne is equal to the main authority, and the ring is equivalent to the secondary authority, so the lord has a little more authority.) )
In a certain village, a group of people knelt on the ground, and although it was night, the whole village was illuminated as if it were day.
"Miracles! It's a miracle! Has God Almighty finally come to our rescue? The old man at the front knelt on the ground with a reverent face, and his slender white beard made him look full of wisdom.
'Miracles, look, miracles!' ’
'Miracles! ’
'Ahh
Loud and chaotic sounds filled the village, and people kept running out of their houses to join the procession of kneeling down to worship the miracle.
After a while, the number of villagers kneeling on the ground doubled.
"Village~Village Chief~~I~I~We, This~ What's going on." The young man kneeling behind the old man asked the old man at the front with excitement and nervousness.
"20 years, 20 years!"
The old man knelt on the ground, took a deep breath to calm his mood, and then stroked his white beard and continued.
"Our Gaia Village finally has a chance to get rid of the curse of the devil."
The old man said to himself, his eyes straight at the 'sun' floating in the air.
This 'sun' is precisely a ball of light, and inside it is the night and morning.
Falling into the sea in the morning of the night, as the island collapsed, it was actually sent to this strange village by the whirlpool.
Wrapping the light ball in the morning is actually a passive prop.
'[Sad] Holy Lord is sorry (Extinction-level passive item, immune to certain negative effects, activated when the player receives certain negative effects.) )’
Soon after the launch of the [Brave] server, Yechen completed a special mission to obtain this prop, and the prop is only owned by Yechen alone, which belongs to the only type of prop, but this prop has to be introduced in a few words, so Yechen doesn't know what it is used for. At that time, Yechen accidentally used this prop, and the prop disappeared and directly became Yechen's BUFF, and it was 20 years with the buff.
Ye Chen watched more and more people kneel on the ground in the ball, his brain spinning rapidly, trying to think about the things in front of him.
[Brave] didn't stop on time, and there was a bug at that time, I still had a trace of influence in the seawater, and the system interface still can't be opened, the communication system ~ can't be opened, and the backpack ~ can't be beaten, the attribute panel, skills, ...... None of them can be opened. ’
"Ahh What the hell is going on! ”
Ye Chen roared angrily, because of the ball of light, not all the voices came out.
'Roar~~~hiss~'
“……”
"A miracle has made a sound!"
"Did you hear the village chief?"
“……”
The scene was chaotic.
"Shut up, be quiet! The miracle is angry! ”
“……”
The old man said a word, and no one dared to continue to speak, and everyone remained quiet.
In the ball of light, Yechen seemed to have an understanding of the situation in front of him.
'This buff is activated suddenly, and that particular negative effect must have been triggered here, and while I don't know why the game didn't stop on time, I finally know what was going on. This is a hidden copy, this hiding is 20 years, I didn't expect it to be triggered like this in the end. ’
There are many hidden dungeons of different difficulty levels in [Brave], but hidden dungeons are all one-off, and when a player clears a hidden dungeon alone or in a team, the hidden dungeon will disappear and then appear at a certain point in the main story. (There are also people in the game who look for hidden dungeons, but very few have been found.) )
Ye Chen pinched his chin and closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged in [the regret of the Holy Lord].
"When I was caught in the whirlpool just now, I fell directly into the sea.,I didn't have the idea of going into the sea.,At that time, the bug was a special technology failure.,So I fell into the sea.,So I happened to enter this hidden copy.,So it's clear.。 ’
Ye Chen didn't realize it at this time, things were not as simple as he imagined.
"Since I ran into it, then I have to succeed in this hide, who knows when the server will be suddenly repaired, and when the time comes, it will be forced offline, and finally this hidden copy will not be experienced. ’
In [the pity of the Holy Lord], Ye Chen slowly stood up and jumped.
'Huh? This perspective! It seems to be more realistic and smoother. ’
The villagers on the ground saw that the ball of light began to shake, and one by one they couldn't do it, they fell to the ground, put their hands up, and said something they couldn't understand.
'It's time to do the task. ’
Ye Chen already has a general understanding of the situation outside, but Ye Chen found a new problem, because the system cannot be opened, so the skill cannot be used. Getting out of [the Lord's pity] is a problem.
Yechen stretched out his finger and kept swiping and clicking, but it was useless.
'What's the matter, I'm trapped inside?' ’
Is this a task for the two of them to accomplish together?' Wait for someone to get me out? No, there's just one BUFF item, and that's the NPC to save me!'
"Can you hear me? Get me out, save me. ”
The night and morning are constantly beating.
However, what the villagers heard was a loud noise, and they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.
The old man in the front row didn't know where to anger the miracle at this time, and he kept kneeling with everyone kneeling when he said something he didn't understand.
'This ...... Pregnant! ’
Although it was very faint, the number on the [Regret of the Holy Lord] that was wrapped in him kept changing.
30
29
28
……
'Thirty seconds left'
Looking at the changing numbers under his feet, Ye Chen understood that this task would not disappear until the time automatically arrived, but he didn't know what was not directly in the village but was wrapped in the air.
3

……
As the numbers disappeared, the ball of light slowly cracked from the top of Yechen, and as the gap grew larger and larger to the ground, Yechen was standing right on.
Yechen was amazed by the details of the game's design, as he actually smelled a strange smell coming from the village.
"Ahh You must be the gods, are you here to save our Gaia village? ”
The old man at the front looked at Ye Chen and hesitated for a long time and finally asked, because with the disappearance of [the regret of the Holy Lord], the light like day also dispersed, and at this time there was only one pillar of light in the village, and Ye Chen was dressed in black armor under the moonlight, and it seemed that he had no connection with the miracle just now.
"Who are you? This is Gaia Village? What happened? ”
The remaining NPCs of the standard three-in-a-row will tell Yechen that he can clear the level as long as he completes the quest.
'Twenty years ago, the hidden copy must not be very difficult. ’
Yechen thought so.
The old man slowly brought the plot to life
My name is Karnov, and I'm the head of Gaia, and it all started twenty years ago. Twenty years ago, a calamity struck the village of Gaia, but no one knew what had befallen it. It enveloped the entire village of Gaia, and at first it was just a dark cloud blocking the sun. But as time passed, the surroundings became beautiful. The villagers are physically tough, their backs do not hurt their legs, they all have endless energy, they still don't feel tired when they work until midnight every day, and they can see things clearly at night and continue to work..................
“??? What do you say? ”
I can't believe it's a disaster, and Yechen feels that this story mission is a bad taste for the game maker.
'How do I sound like it's all good, is the mission to make this group of villagers unlucky?' Destroying the village makes their lives hard, because life is too easy, so let the player wreak havoc? I'm sick! ’
Ye Chen complained in his heart while looking at Karnov.
"You'll understand when you hear it."
Karnov explained to Yechen with a smile.
This went on for half a year, and that night we had the same energy as usual. However, something terrible happened, that night everyone's body changed, the first reaction was the head, the head began to grow horns, and then the hands and feet became thicker and could not speak, so the change lasted for about 2 minutes, and then 2 more arms grew behind him, and the change ended after the arms appeared. After this kind of change appears, the physical personality will become extremely violent.,Anyway, I want to vent everywhere.,I can't bear to destroy the forbearance......
"I'll investigate, don't resist!"
Ye Chen walked up to Karnov as he spoke, stretched out his palm to Kanov, and wanted to use his skills to check the status of the NPC. But he forgot, he can't open the skill right now.
'The situation in Gaia must have something to do with that negative effect. NPCs should have negative status instead of effects, and if you can't check it with skills, it's not clear what this state is. ’
Thinking of this, Ye Chen put his hand down, and his expression could not be seen at all under the dark armor.
Then Karnov said a lot, and Yechen listened to it.
The difficulty of this dungeon is higher than I thought, and Ye Chen only remembered at this moment that the props that triggered the dungeon were extinction-level, and props of this level were extremely difficult to start in the game, but just the key to triggering the dungeon was a world-destroying level prop.
"Look! What is the situation of our ~ this? ”
Karnov looked at Ye Chen and asked tremblingly, as a villager, he felt that Ye Chen must be a god, and looking at the costume was still a very powerful god, he had already imagined in his heart that the god would take action and solve the disaster in Gaia Village at once.
'Aren't NPCs unconscious?' Even the highest ultra-AI systems can only answer based on the player's questions. ’
Ye Chen kept observing his surroundings through the armor, slowly raising his arms and lowering them. He also made a gesture of feigning an attack, and his mood began to change.
All the NPCs here are actually self-conscious, and the normal AI will automatically ignore the actions it sees and continue his data plot, and the NPCs here see me raising their hands and pretending to attack the village chief. Emotions such as fear and anger appeared in his eyes. ’
Things are a little troublesome, Ye Chen put one hand on his chin and hugged his hands, always feeling that some of the original clear thoughts have turned back into a piece of paste.
'This tastes! No way! Again? ’
I didn't expect to scare myself when I calmed down, and it was impossible to smell it in the game, so I wouldn't be tired...... Because this is a game, there is a certain difference from reality.
"That's right, the system function can't be turned on for the time being."
Yechen deliberately said that the system function could not be opened, and wanted to see how this Kanov would answer.
"What kind of door are you talking about in the system? Can't open it? Is it related to the need for this door in our Gaia Village, if we can, our whole village will definitely help you open the door. ”
Although it is not clear why the gods said that they could not open the door at this time, now Karnov's loyalty is the number one.
'No! I can't be sure of anything yet, and I'll have to think of another way to do something that an NPC can't understand and can't do. ’
What to do, Yechen looked at the surrounding villagers and Karnov in front of him, and suddenly a bad idea appeared.
"Are there any young and beautiful women in your village?"
Making obscene acts towards female NPCs will be punished by the system, so if Yechen wants to determine what he thinks in his heart, then this inspection is a must, and at this moment Yechen is looking forward to it and tangled in his heart.
"Tenjin-sama, what are you?"
"Young beautiful girls are a must, don't you understand?"
Ye Chen interrupted Karnov's words, and at the same time, his strong performance was also deliberately shown by him.
Karnov whispered a few words to a villager behind him, and then the villager moved back several seats to a girl wrapped in a turban.
'Village Chief! ’
'Village Chief!! ’
The villagers behind Karnov widened their eyes in surprise, they couldn't believe that the gods would make such a request, and could only call out to Karnov softly.
I saw that the girl seemed to have made up her mind, got up and walked out of the crowd and came to Ye Chen. Then he closed his eyes tightly, and he looked like a mermaid.
'What's going on?' Although my request maybe, maybe, should, be a little strange. What is going on with this nervous and contradictory expression. ’
Because she was wrapped in a headscarf, the girl's facial features could not be seen very clearly, but Ye Chen still saw from her eyes that she was outstanding, it seemed that the villagers did not perfunctory him, and the eyes of people were also in line with the public's aesthetics.
"You all stand up and wait here for me while I take this girl for an experiment."
After speaking, Yechen grabbed the girl's arm, and then carefully observed the surrounding villagers. Taking advantage of the fact that no one reacted, he dragged the girl to the nearest room.
Sure enough, this group of NPCs all have autonomous consciousness, and it seems that they also have a lot of feelings, if it's just one or two special cases, maybe it's a coincidence, after all, AI's self-learning ability is really strong. And I grabbed the main girl's arm without any punishment, and it was obvious that she was resistant. ’
I can't manage so much, some things still need to be figured out.
Yechen convinced himself, and his chaotic thoughts began to become clear again.
"Here it is! I took off my clothes and sat down on the bed. ”
Entering the room, Yechen let go of the girl's hand and looked at her eyes still closed.
After hearing Ye Chen's words, the girl opened her eyes and watched Ye Chen's hands unconsciously grasp the skirt.
Yechen didn't urge the girl further, just waited quietly.
Slowly, the girl reached out and began to take off her skirt, revealing the white suit inside.
The girl put her skirt aside and reached out to continue stripping.
It can be seen that the girl's inner struggle is not as obedient as it seems, which shows that she does have independent thoughts or emotions. ’
Ye Chen watched the girl's every move, and became more and more convinced of what she thought in her heart.
It's just that I didn't expect the girl to continue after taking off her skirt.
"But~ it's okay, stop and sit on the bed."
In short, for 'wood' Yechen, it's still very embarrassing and shameful to let a girl undress by herself or something, after all, he is a 'wood'.
The girl looked at Yechen with a puzzled expression, but still sat on the bed obediently.
"Then I'm going to touch it."
subsequently
"Ah~ahh......hh
"Hmm...... Hiss~"
"Hahaha"
"Hahaha"
“……”
————
"Village chief, what should I do!"
"What are you anxious about just 3 minutes after entering, this sacrifice for our Gaia Village is worth it!"
"But Carrot is your granddaughter."
“……”
Outside the room, Karnov listened to the laughter coming from the room, and his face gradually became serious.
The laughter stopped, and then he saw Carre's face flush and his hair as he walked out of the room after Ye Chen.
'O iniquity! ’
This was the thinking of the whole village at that time.
However, Yechen had basically determined something at this time, and in the room, Yechen took off Carr's shoes, and then began to scratch the soles of her feet, but there was no systematic punishment.
Generally speaking, players who have any obscene behavior in the game will directly close the small black room, even if they are out of the small black room, there will be an eye-catching perverted title above their heads, and players with this title can also be attacked by other players in the safe zone.
However, even if there is no pervert title on Yechen's head now, he is already a pervert in Carr's heart.
When Karl saw his grandfather and the villagers, he couldn't hold back his grievances in an instant.
"Woo woo ~ Ye ~ Grandpa ~~~"
"Woo~"
"He grabbed my feet and tickled me! Woo~~~"
As soon as these words came out, in the hearts of the villagers, Ye Chen also changed from the image of a miracle god to a complete pervert
'Iniquity'
This is what the villagers are thinking now.
The virtual things in the game world actually become reality, you can smell and feel the temperature, and there is no punishment for molesting NPCs.
This is all something that [Brave] can't achieve, after all, virtual is virtual, and you can even feel your own heartbeat at this moment. Even hyper-realistic somatosensory games shouldn't feel a heartbeat in the game.
Is the place I'm in the virtual world or the real world?
Ye Chen finally understood his situation, which may be a little sluggish, but it didn't prevent him from thinking now.
So this should be the virtual world turning into the real world......
No way!
I couldn't believe my idea at all, Yechen couldn't understand why such an unscientific thing happened, and he couldn't find any basis to follow.
The problem is that with strange changes in things around him, and a series of attempts to be the same as reality, Yechen has to slowly come to terms with this fact.
Although he couldn't understand how this kind of thing happened, Yechen had at least accepted what was happening in front of him.
But what Yechen was thinking at this time was that [BraveHeresy] couldn't play on the server, and he couldn't fulfill the agreement with the members of [Brave] to meet in [BraveHeresy], would anyone suffer the same situation as me? Is this world the world of [Brave] or other worlds, and what should I do in the future?
There are too many problems plaguing Yechen, but the only thing that can be done at present is to solve the problems in front of you first.
Ye Chen looked at the villagers of Gaia Village in front of him, and the system couldn't even see the mission introduction, so he could only roughly understand the background of the story from the mouth of the village.
"Not good! Village chief, the dark clouds dispersed in advance. ”
"Everyone, hide from the mountains and ......."
In an instant, a long horn grew from Karnov's head, and then his hands and feet became thicker, and his words were interrupted.
Karnov is not the only one who has mutated, the whole village is changing, and the only ones who have not changed are Yechen and Karn, who has just been scratched by the soles of his feet.
Karl looked at his hands and feet in amazement, and touched his head with a shocked face that had not changed. looked at Yechen again, and she instantly understood!
"You are really here to save our village, please scratch the soles of all the people in our village! This will definitely allow everyone to return to normal and lift the curse. ”
Nightmorning noticed that there were stars in his eyes when he said this, and he looked very much looking forward to being scratched again.
Ignoring Karl, Yechen has been watching the changes of the villagers, until now he still can't quite accept that he has changed from the virtual world to the real world, after all, the big living person in front of him is actually so vividly transformed, which is a phenomenon that can only be seen in games.
The first villager to complete the transformation shouted around with red eyes, and he immediately saw Yechen wearing pitch-black armor.
In the next second, he roared and jumped in front of Ye Chen, and his huge body could completely envelop Ye Chen.
'Bang'
With a loud bang, the huge figure flew out and smashed into the distance.
Ye Chen's actions were like a fuse, and the villagers after the transformation rushed towards him one by one, and Karl was thrown into the house by Ye Chen for the first time, so he was not affected.
'Bang'
'Bang'
‘……’
In less than a minute, most of the villagers who rushed over were all smashed into the distance by Ye Chen.
In fact, Ye Chen didn't expect the current situation, after all, he didn't even have a skill in the situation where he couldn't operate anything, and Ye Chen was ready to be beaten.
The armor on the body can be a suit made of world-destroying materials and higher-grade ethereal-level materials, and its defense power can also rank among the top ten equipment in the whole server.
Just waved his hand at random to block, and the huge figure in front of him actually flew away, which Ye Chen didn't expect, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still counted the source of this power on the equipment.
If you don't have a way to fly like this, you'll continue to entangle with me when you recover, and the first batch has already grown arms on their backs. ’
sighed.
Seeing more and more transformed villagers rushing towards him, Ye Chen grabbed the nearest figure beside him as a weapon and rushed over as a weapon.
It continued like this for more than a dozen rounds, and Ye Chen's feet were full of transformed villagers who had exhausted their physical strength.
Until the last one fell, Yechen slowly jumped down.
"Come here!"
Of course, it was to shout Karl, after all, she was the only one who could speak now, and everyone else had left Yechen behind.
Before the transformation, the villager shouted that the clouds had dispersed. The village chief didn't finish speaking, it should have been for them to run into the mountains, so the problem was in the sky.
Ye Chen looked up, and the moon was actually like a dumpling.
"What's going on?"
Seeing Carrot coming, Yechen pointed to the sky and asked her.
"It only became like this twenty years ago."
"It only became twenty years ago, but what about before?"
"Before, it was always crooked, occasionally semicircular or round."
Looking at Caril's obedient answer, Yechen probably understood what was going on.
Sure enough, it was a copy that appeared just after the server was opened, and the difficulty also changed with time. ’
"What are the miracle gods?"
"You are a miracle! You're a god!"
Kaluel flashed with stars in his eyes and looked at Ye Chen with a look of adoration, as if to say, 'Come and scratch the soles of your feet', 'Come on, come on'. And one foot is still gently sliding on the ground.
If you didn't wear a helmet, Yechen would have been full of black lines.
“……”
"How long does the transformation last? When your grandfather is back to normal, I still have questions for him. ”
"Generally, the physical strength will soon change back after venting, and the dark clouds have always been fixed, so I didn't expect them to disperse in advance today."
It seems that in order to find out why the moon turned into dumplings, it is necessary to find out where the dark clouds came from.
Judging from the current information, the changes did not occur at the beginning, and the sky and the moon should have become dumplings later.
After turning into dumplings, the villagers began to have the ability to transform.
And [the Holy Lord has to be sorry] should be the key to breaking this ability, and Karl did not transform this time, which should be the reason for being contacted by me.
It seems that the villagers who have transformed will not be able to contact me after the transformation.
Yechen quickly sorted out the information he currently had.
However, he is still at a loss as to how to complete this 'hidden mission' thoroughly.
It's not a game, you have to take your time.
Ye Chen shook his head vigorously, keeping these questions in his heart, and waiting for the village chief and his group to return to normal, they would have as much information as possible.
