Chapter 34: You call him the Lord God, and I call him GM
"Voyeur" monocle: a replica of the famous combat detector. Because the manufacturer used pirated blueprints, it could not be used to detect combat effectiveness. (Is this glasses broken, why are all people scum with only 5 combat power?) )
Effect: Purple armor (superior quality), 0 defense. With this monocle, you will be able to see how favorable your target is of you and distinguish them by color. The redder the target color, the lower the favorability; The greener the color, the higher the favorability.
Action Skill: "I want to take you as a good friend!" 》
Effect: Cast on an NPC to save their friendship. When you re-enter the quest, your friendship and relationship with the other person will not be reset. Ability Cooldown: One dungeon. (i.e., you can only use it once each time you enter the dungeon.) )
Note: Face props, you can choose to hide.
That's a good thing! The purple equipment is even better than the "angry" Desert Falcon pistol!
On top of the equipment, there is even an active skill! You must know that the character's own skills are limited by the skill bar, and it is very rare to be able to obtain an additional active skill.
Although you can only observe the opponent's favorability, not specific attributes, it is more useful to some extent. And that skill that can only be used in the same copy and can only be used once in a copy seems to be a chicken rib, but for a character like Gao Xianda who keeps refreshing the same copy, it is simply an artifact-like existence!
Without hesitation, he put the glasses on his face and hid their appearance. From the outside, it looks like Ben doesn't have glasses.
Through the glasses, CJ in front of him appeared a red in the mirror. Come to think of it, just now he pretended to be X for a long time but was caught, and it hit him very hard, so he naturally hated Gao Xianda to death.
Thinking about it this way, Gao Xianda was ambushed in the corner before, ready to kill CJ, and his favorability towards CJ was of course under hatred. In the glasses, it must be red.
His stealth skills have already shown that the so-called stealth is only inconspicuous, not really invisible. It's hard not to notice that there is such a large patch of red in view. Therefore, it is reasonable that Coxanda was discovered by CJ.
Gao Xianda knew the reason why he was discovered, and he was in a good mood. The interrogation of CJ has become even more vigorous.
CJ couldn't stand Gao Xianda's torture and quickly told what he knew.
The world in which Gao Xianda is located is just a scene fragment created according to a certain plot, which is called a copy, and it is not the only one.
There are many similar copies, which are independent and connected, and together they form a macrocosm known as "reincarnation".
Each dungeon is controlled by a powerful and mysterious force, known as the Lord God. But they are not the copies themselves. The system that sends prompts at any time is the ontology, and the main god is more like the manager of the dungeon.
No one had ever seen the Lord God, but there was no doubt that all of them had felt the Lord God's ability to intervene in the dungeon. Because the methods of intervention vary, it is certain that different copies are controlled by different primary gods.
Contractors are adventurers from other dimensions. They signed a pact and came into this world. You can enter the dungeon to complete the task according to the requirements of different dungeons. They can be rewarded with quests, and their entry can also replenish the necessary energy for the quest.
It's a seemingly mutually beneficial model, at least profitable for both the Lord God and the Contractor.
But for some, it's not a good thing. That's the original life inside the copy. According to the setting of the plot, they should have lived a normal life. But the intrusion of the contractor often brings chaos and death to them. The most terrifying thing is that after the script reset, their pain will be repeated again.
No one knows how many times the replica they're on has been reset, or how many times they've died. Until someone retained part of the memory by chance.
They are called the "Awakened."
The Awakened often take advantage of knowing the plot trend in the dungeon to cause trouble for the contractors, and even lead to the unnatural death of the contractors.
No one likes to enter a quest where the harvest doesn't match the risk, so the Awoken are often the first to be eliminated by the main god. The method of elimination is also very simple, just kill him once. After resetting, the Awakened's memories are erased.
Native NPCs have a very low chance of awakening, and even if they do, they may not survive. Therefore, most of the awakened people originally had high strength, and Gao Xianda was able to obtain the awakening as an ordinary NPC, which was something that CJ couldn't believe at all.
Although the number is scarce, the Awakened who can survive are like viruses. They are able to consciously occupy resources, persuade others, and even kill the incoming contractors. This can cause a lot of damage to the entire dungeon.
And although the main gods are powerful enough to control the direction of the entire dungeon, it is precisely because their consciousness is so large that it is impossible to identify who is the awakened person in the dungeon. Often, they can't even tell if the unnatural death of the contractor in the script is due to the presence of an awakened person or because of the contractor's own stupidity.
Therefore, just like sick humans, when the dungeon is not in good condition, the main god will also take a good rest and drink more hot water. Specifically, in order to attract contractors, they will lower the barrier to entry, increase the rewards of quests, attract some more capable senior contractors into the dungeon, and hope that they can successfully complete the quest and eradicate the awakened.
Only when absolutely absolutely necessary will they take medicine, injections, and have surgery.
"So you're a veteran." Gao Xianda asked.
"I'm not counting yet." CJ said, "I've only gone through 3 quests before that, and although the harvest is pretty good, generally speaking, people who have gone through 5 quests are considered novices. Even if you go through the same dungeon, you can't do it through only two or three times. ”
Although he told the truth, he also concealed something.
This CJ is far superior to the novice. He got this purple outfit by chance, the monocle of the "Voyeur". By observing the NPC's favorability, you can prejudge the behavior of the opponent to maximize the rewards of the mission.
And he also opened the spell specialization under intelligence, that is, he has learned some spells. This supernatural power is not so easy to learn, and requires a combination of talent, hard work, and luck. It is very advantageous in the novice script of low martial arts, low magic, and low technology.
He had cleared this script before, and that time could be regarded as a big killing, even Brad, who was holding a ******, couldn't break free from his black prison. And the little attendant next to the big black fat man, of course, is not worth mentioning in his eyes.
