Chapter 182: Suicide by Jumping Off a Cliff (4000 words)
The village was divided into four parts by cross-shaped streets, and Gu Renyun randomly chose the north as the starting point.
Walking into the first house, inside was a shirtless man banging on a piece of iron. Male, it's clear that this is a blacksmith shop.
Seeing someone coming in, the blacksmith stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat on his head, and then stared at Gu Renyun and said:
"Are you the brave man summoned by the village chief with the formation to help us solve the disaster? Hey, we've all said that the most important thing in that secret book is the cause and solution of the black fog, without these two things, what's the use of just summoning people? But since the village chief has been summoned alone, thank you for your heart, I have a forging experience here, so I'll give it to you as a meeting gift. ”
As he spoke, the blacksmith took out a book from the nearby cabinet and handed it over.
Gu Renyun took it and took a look-
"Forging Experience": After studying, you will get a deputy forging.
Gu Renyun silently put this book on his body, it was obvious that since the blacksmith would send this forging experience as soon as he came, then eighty percent of the other deputy positions would also be sent, but there would inevitably be restrictions on the deputy positions in the game, so he was not prepared to make a choice when the information was insufficient.
From the blacksmith's words, Gu Renyun can be regarded as solving a puzzle, that is, why is the village chief alone doing such a thing as summoning a brave man to save the world......
It turned out that everyone else was not optimistic that the summoned brave man would be able to solve this incident.
However, it is obvious that they are wrong, because this time the summoning is not as simple as the brave, but a magical creature called the protagonist, and this creature is best at saving the world!
"Thank you for your thoughts, I would like to ask you what you think about the cause of the black fog?"
"Hmm...... Ask me? The blacksmith was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "I'm sorry, because I'm so focused on the art of blacksmithing that I don't care much about these things, so most of the people in the village have gone out to look for clues, and I'm still here to make iron, I'm afraid I can't answer your question." ”
Gu Renyun was thoughtful, that is to say, a deputy NPC like him could not provide clues related to the main line, and everyone else in the village was looking for clues outside...... It seems that after looking for the people in the village, you still need to go to the field to find clues......
Gu Renyun thought silently for a while and then asked the blacksmith, "Can I take a look at what you built before?" ”
"Sorry for the private collection, it's not very convenient!"
"Huh? Don't you sell this stuff? Gu Renyun said in surprise.
The blacksmith asked rhetorically, "Sell?" What to buy with? There aren't many people in this small world, and there is no such thing as money! ”
Gu Renyun was embarrassed, this blacksmith shop didn't sell anything...... Is he just trying to offer me a deputy position?
He asked a few more questions, confirmed that no other information could be obtained from him, and left.
Next, Gu Renyun went to other rooms.
The remaining two rooms were the same as the blacksmith's room, except that one had lost a copy of the medicine to him, and the other had lost a tailor's book to him.
After coming out of these three rooms, Gu Renyun set his eyes on the person standing at the gate of the village, who was a middle-aged man with a very sunny appearance and a very strong physique.
"Hello!"
"Hello, you can call me Tempest, I know you, the savior summoned by the village chief." Tempest greeted with a smile, then shrugged his shoulders and continued:
"But you don't need to have too much pressure, even if you can't save this world, it doesn't matter, because we have already arranged a way out, after all, no one knows if the black fog can be reversed, even if we find the person who made the black fog, but it still can't stop the spread of the black fog, and we have already been prepared for this situation."
Gu Renyun was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that the meaning of hearing this seemed to be saying that the final outcome might be to find out the boss behind the scenes, but it couldn't stop the spread of the black fog.
No way! While it's always been said that tragedy is the best ending, this is not a single-player game, and it's unlikely that the planners will turn the story into a tragedy...... Right?
Putting some bad premonitions behind, Gu Renyun said to the wind: "Thank you for your comfort, what are you doing here, and do you have any opinions on the generation of black fog?" ”
"As you can see, I'm on duty, and since the black fog has been generated, there have always been some crazy animals storming the village, so someone needs to stop them here, and you can also observe the movement of the black fog by the way, in case that thing suddenly accelerates its spread, we can also prepare to retreat."
"As for what you think of the Black Mist...... In fact, these days, the people in the village have almost rummaged through the whole small world and have not heard of any clues, if there really is such a clue in this world, then only those inaccessible places can have clues. ”
"As far as my personal feeling is concerned, I think the cliff in the north is very suspicious, and that place suddenly inexplicably cracked a bottomless crack of about 2 meters, stretching to the end of the world, this small world suddenly appeared such a terrain, do you say suspicious? I've always suspected that there must be something remarkable at the bottom of the crack, but there's just no way to get it safe. ”
Gu Renyun nodded thoughtfully, this is indeed quite suspicious, and it is extremely easy to verify, you just need to jump down directly, you will definitely be able to see the situation below before you die, if there is a situation, it will be too late to think about it when the time comes.
Anyway, it's a big deal!
After saying goodbye to the wind, Gu Renyun talked to the NPCs from the other three streets again.
Here's what you can get:
South Street received a share of leather-making experience, a cooking experience, and a craftsman's experience.
East Street obtains: a piece of fighting experience, a copy of weapon experience, and a copy of throwing experience.
Combat Mastery: After learning it, you will say goodbye to the state of using Wang Baquan, your martial arts have been trained properly, you can use the right force, and know how to deal more damage - when fighting empty-handed, the damage is increased by 50%, and the chance of critical hit is increased by 10%. (Passive)
Weapon Mastery: After learning, you will master the general skills of various weapons, at least you will not want to attack the enemy, but you will not hurt yourself - when using weapons to fight, the damage will be increased by 20%, and the accuracy rate will be increased by 10%. (Passive)
Throwing Mastery: As you learn, you'll master the art of throwing all sorts of things, whether it's throwing knives, stones, swords, or javelins - when throwing objects, damage is increased by 40% and accuracy is increased by 20% (passive skills)
I didn't get anything on West Street, but I had to hand over a lot of things......
Side Quest - Wild Thunder's Ambition: Wild Thunder has always wanted to learn all the professional skills of the other people in Taoyuan Village, but the others think he is greedy and are unwilling to teach him. Collect forging experience, pharmaceutical experience, tailoring experience, leather making experience, cooking experience, craftsman experience, formation experience, hand it over to Wild Thunder, and he will surprise you.
Obviously, if Gu Renyun had learned those experiences before, he would not have been able to complete this task here, but even if he didn't learn, he asked all the NPCs in the village, and no one gave him this formation experience, it seems that the difficulty of this task is to find the formation experience.
Side quest - Tom's kitten is missing, and the guards at the four gates say that they haven't seen the kitten go out, but he can't find the kitten in the village, can you help him?
Judging from the prompt, it can be determined that the kitten is in the village, and the village is not big, this task seems to be quite simple, but is it really that simple?
Side quest - The secret of the black fog, mad scientist Steve, wants to study the black fog, can you use a proper way to bring some black fog back?
Side quest - Hunter Zhang encounters wolves while hunting in the mountains to the west, he escapes, but his hound does not come back, he wants you to check on the life and death of his hound.
In addition to the mission, the guards of South Street and East Street respectively told Gu Renyun a suspicious place.
The top of the cliff is covered by the vast white clouds, and you can't see the situation above, and there is no way to go up.
East Street is a boneless lake, the radius of the lake is about 1,000 meters, the depth is not visible, there are piranhas in the lake, once people fall into the lake, even the bones can not be found......
Gu Renyun analyzed all the information and finally decided to ...... first Of course, it's a cliff jump!
Die early and be born early!
Walking out of the village from the north, there are hills one after another.
Unexpectedly, the outside is not the scene full of monsters as soon as the novice village is out of the ordinary game, and the level and experience are not displayed on the character attributes, Gu Renyun has some guesses......
First, eighty percent of the monsters here don't spawn.
Second, in this dream world, the game should be skill, and data crushing or anything should not exist.
All the way to the north, I only saw a few rabbits swaying in the grass on the road, and Gu Renyun also pursued them, but unfortunately...... It's really not as flexible as a rabbit.
After about 30 minutes of walking, the big chasm that Chasing Wind said appeared in front of me.
As Chasing Wind said, this crack looks like an earthquake has cracked a large earthquake, forming a gap 2 meters wide and endless, and the people here have cut down a large tree and built a wooden bridge here to connect the two sides.
"Where do I jump from?" Gu Renyun stood in the gap and looked down, it was pitch black below, as if there was a bottomless abyss.
Due to the light problem, when jumping down, the visibility must not be high, at this time it is very important to choose the location of the cliff jump, otherwise it may appear, important items are a few meters away, but because you don't see it, you can only come out - "there is nothing important here" This kind of conclusion, it will be a cheat.
Gu Renyun looked around and thought - from the perspective of game design, if there is something important underneath, then there must be a hint here.
The most likely is the section directly north of the village gate, near the wooden bridge. Secondly, if there are any strange markers on the edge of this section of the rift, it is also very likely.
Gu Renyun came to the side of the wooden bridge, looked carefully, maybe after watching for a long time, Gu Renyun suddenly felt dizzy, and at the same time, his heartbeat increased, his breathing was short, and his body stiffened, which was obviously a symptom of fear of heights!
He quickly retracted his head and patted his chest. Chest,Calm down.,This virtual game is too real.,Fear of heights has been forced out......
At the thought that he needed to jump, Gu Renyun couldn't help but tremble in his legs, but he knew that it was useless to think too much at this time, and only by cutting through the mess with a quick knife could he solve everything.
Immediately closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and jumped forward......
"Whew!"
A dizzying feeling of weightlessness came instantly, and at the same time, a strong wind kept blowing from the bottom up, blowing his cheeks out of shape, not to mention opening his eyes, his brain was still dizzy......
I don't know how long it took to be dizzy, Gu Renyun finally came to his senses, from this point of view, thanks to this crack being high enough, otherwise I am afraid that he would have fallen into a puff of meat sauce when he was still dizzy......
But even if he came to his senses, it would not be of much use, for the fierce wind blew on his face like a steel knife, and he could not open his eyes to observe his surroundings.
After some hard work, Gu Renyun found that he kept his eyes squinted into a slit at most, and if this state was normal, of course, he could see clearly, but the surroundings were already dark, and now that his eyes were squinted into a slit, the visibility was naturally not enough.
Nima, no, although the characteristics of virtual games are real, but this is a game after all! Too true is too sinful, right?
Thinking of this, Gu Renyun hurriedly called Zhi Brain: "What kind of situation is this, can it make me not so uncomfortable?" ”
"The pain can be reduced, and the current pain simulation is 100%"
"Holy!" Gu Renyun couldn't help but scold when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered: "Adjust it to 10% for me." ”
"Revision complete!"
At the moment when the order was given, Gu Renyun felt that his body was light, the sense of weightlessness disappeared, and at the same time, the bone-scraping steel knife-like wind also became like a breeze.
Gu Renyun breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly opened his eyes wide and looked down...... It's still pitch black below, as if there's really no end.
However, Gu Renyun was not in a hurry after modifying the pain, even if the scene set in this game is never-ending, it is impossible for players to keep falling like this. fall, it must have made the player die a long time ago, on the other hand, since the fall. After falling for so long, he hasn't died, so there must be something strange down there.
Sure enough, about another minute or so, Gu Renyun saw a little light below, and as the distance approached, that little light became bigger and clearer......
"Smack!"
Gu Renyun, who was intently looking at the point of light, suddenly saw a dark, and then appeared in the space where the character was created. It was clear that he had just been smashed into a pulp......
But fortunately, before being smashed into pulp, he finally saw clearly what the point of light was, it seemed to be an altar, with white jade as the bottom, and there was a glowing bead in the middle, and that light came out of this......
