Chapter 3: The Invaders of the Great Tomb of Nasalik (Part II)

"Yggdrasil" game, the Great Tomb of Nassalik, now time - 23:59:30

Standing on the lawn of the entrance courtyard on the surface of the Great Tomb of Nassalik, looking up at the cloudy night sky, you can see colorful fireworks bursting into flames, and GM is constantly broadcasting the message that the "YGGDRASIL" game is about to shut down the server.

However, the twenty "people" present knew that their adventure had just begun.

Rachel, a cat rider who had just become a newcomer to the Infinite World, couldn't help but sigh melancholy as she looked around at the crowd of non-humans.

Cat rider Ricky, along with her twin sister Flore, and the other twelve newcomers around her, are all classmates in a class of marketing at Hunan University's School of Business Administration, as well as lovers of online games. The remaining cat priest, Dustheart, is a physical education teacher at the university.

Before entering this unbelievable world, everyone was originally just teaming up to play games and fight monsters in an Internet café near the school, but who accidentally determined an inexplicable dialog box: "Do you want to understand the meaning of life?" Want to ...... Alive? yes/no”

So, in the next moment, all the classmates and teachers who clicked "yes" descended on this strange and strange world after a sudden dizziness, and then they were even more shocked to find that their bodies had become the player characters they played in the game.

- Sister Ricky becomes a 30-centimeter-tall cat, and sister Flor becomes a 15-centimeter-tall leprechaun.

Of course, compared to Ghismei, who turned into a slime mage, and Bell, who turned into an iron golem, their sisters were lucky.

What's worse is that the equipment and potions that players originally had on their game accounts were randomly reduced to the worst one. In addition, their own levels have also fallen to the first level of race and the first level of occupation, and the total level of pathetic level two (originally there were multiple races or occupations, and only one was kept at random). In this regard, Rachel, the cat rider who used to be a full-level rich player, couldn't help but have an urge to burst into tears.

At first glance, this seems to be the kind of game otherworldly text time-traveling routine in online novels.

However, at the same time, the watch that suddenly appeared on each of them, and the five men and women in fancy clothes who called themselves "veterans" who appeared in front of them immediately afterwards, proved that this adventure was not a simple traverse, but an even more terrifying infinite stream!

According to the vampire captain in the red and black cape, the newcomers have not really entered the so-called "story world" yet, but have landed in an online game that is about to be discontinued in the 22nd century. The protagonist of this plot, the lich "Flying Squirrel", is about to take his entire guild station "Nasalik Great Tomb" to a fantasy world when the game is about to be suspended, and start an epic adventure.

Fortunately in the midst of misfortune, all the newcomers had read the infinite stream novels, and finally accepted the above statement relatively calmly, without crying or nervous breakdown, but barely maintained their composure in fear and excitement, and were ready to complete the task assigned by the main god.

And the first main quest released by the main god in the plot is to ask everyone to enter the main stage of the story world before the "yggdrasil" game is suspended, the Great Tomb of Nasalik, so that they can travel to another world together. The penalty for failing a mission is obliteration.

- The time is 23:30:00, and there are still thirty minutes before the "yggdrasil" game closes the server.

At first glance, this first task seems to be very easy, because the Greek temple, which is the surface entrance to the Great Tomb of Nasalik, is not far from the place where everyone has descended, and stands at the end of the field of vision, as if it were within reach.

But in practice, everyone found that it was not easy. First of all, players who have become elves, slimes, and kittens have not been able to adjust to their new non-human bodies for a while, and it is quite difficult to move at first, staggering as if they were drunk.

Secondly, the environment around the Great Tomb of Nasalik is set as a large misty swamp with the frogman-like monster "Zvik" living in it. For the weak rookies who have now fallen to the racial level and the professional level, it is really a big threat.

Fortunately, the five veterans in this infinite space squad were still taking care of the newcomers, and their own strength was also quite strong, and they easily defeated the frog monsters that stood in the way, opening the way for the weak rookie ragtag army that followed behind.

Finally, when he was about to enter the Great Tomb of Nazarik, the defense mechanism of the Great Tomb was triggered, and he was counterattacked by the skeletons.

But in any case, they have managed to break through, and all of them have lost nothing so far, which is not a big victory.

Cat rider Ricky thought so, and at the same time looked up at the dark night sky virtualized with computer data, stared at the gorgeous fireworks blooming in the sky, and silently read the last seconds: "...... 23：59：35，36、37、……”

At the same time, she also silently said goodbye to the ordinary campus life in the past in her heart.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

At the same time, in the throne hall on the tenth basement floor of the Great Tomb of Nassalik, the lich chief flying squirrel sitting on the luxurious throne was also silently reading the seconds as the clock moved: "...... 23：59：48，49、50、……”

It's all coming to an end, this beautiful and illusory world!

On the planet where flying squirrels live, the world of 2138 is an extremely harsh world. Nature has been destroyed to the limit, and the surface environment has been completely polluted. The sky is always covered in black haze, and it is a luxury to see the sun. Because the fog generally contains highly toxic substances, it is even necessary to wear a gas mask when going out in foggy weather. Plants that were supposed to purify the air also withered in large areas due to lack of sunlight, further increasing the rate of air pollution. The water pollution is also very serious, and all the rivers in Japan have become polluted.

With air pollution so severe, outdoor sports are an unattainable dream for the poor. Due to more serious environmental pollution, both the mountains and the sea have been severely damaged, and the tourism industry has reached the end of the road. The only entertainment available to the poor is indoor activities such as chess and mahjong, free or paid movies and television series circulating on the Internet, and computer games of all kinds.

After entering the virtual reality game world, you can see the beautiful nature scenery even if you can't go out, and you can communicate with many people even if you are indirectly through the screen. The frustration you get in the company can also be eliminated by hunting monsters. Houses that you can't own in real life can be built at will in the game. Even the most withdrawn people can find friends and maybe love in the game.

Countless people are deeply addicted to these game worlds because they want to escape the "incurable bad reality".

For players who are addicted to it, games are no longer a substitute for reality, but reality itself.

However, the virtual world of beauty cannot replace the increasingly cruel real life - this is a matter of course, after all, human beings cannot live in the virtual world. No matter how wonderful the dream, it's time to wake up at this time!

I have to get up at 4 o'clock tomorrow to go to work, and I have to go to bed immediately after the server is shut down, so as not to seriously affect tomorrow's work.

“…… 23：59：5859——”

The flying squirrel closed its eyes, ready to read the remaining seconds with the clock, waiting for the end of this fantasy world—

Wait for yourself to be forcibly logged out -

However, the mandatory logout did not come, on the contrary, the time continued to pass quietly.

“…… 0：00：00…… 1、2、3……”

“…… Well? ”

The flying squirrel opened its eyes in confusion and found that it had not returned to the familiar room, but to the Room of the Throne in Yggdrasil.

What's going on? If the displayed time is correct, you should be forced to log out because the server is down.

The confused flying squirrel tried to contact GM, but he couldn't call up the control interface at all, he was stunned for a moment, and once again clicked a few times in the air without believing evil, other call functions, forced connection, chat function, forced exit...... There was no response, as if the whole system was completely paralyzed! No matter what method you use, there is only a void of air at hand.

Today is the last day, and it is a joke to make fun of the players that such an inexplicable thing happened today when everything has come to an end?

“…… What the hell is going on?!!! ”

The flying squirrel, who had been expecting a glorious end, felt extremely angry, and a subconscious roar erupted, resounding throughout the throne hall.

Then, a beautiful female voice with care and respect suddenly sounded in front of him.

“…… What's wrong with you? Squirrel-sama? ”

It was the intellectual beauty NPC in the white gown, the guardian of the Great Tomb of Nasalik, the fallen angel Jarbede.

This is...... NPCs, are you talking to me?

The unexpected scene made the flying squirrel feel dizzy and unbelievable.

“…… Any questions, Lord Flying Squirrel? ”

Albede continued to ask questions with a worried expression. The short-circuited flying squirrel didn't know how to deal with it at all, so he could only stupidly watch Albede lean up, leaning his beautiful face in front of him, and looking at him with affection.

A faint scent irritates the flying squirrel's nasal passages, which seems to repair his thinking circuits and allow his mind to slowly return to normal.

“…… No...... Nothing...... No, nothing. ”

The flying squirrel silently held up its skeletal hand in front of its eyes, as if it were incredibly real, as if this was reality......

At this moment, he vaguely felt that something terrible had happened.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

On the other side, in the Hellenistic temple at the surface entrance of the Great Tomb of Nassalik, twenty outsiders from the infinite space witnessed the scene of the Great Tomb of Nasalik traveling into a fantastic world as a whole.

- Almost in the blink of an eye, like a change of map in the game, the thick clouds overhead turned into a starry clear sky; The swamps, surrounded by poisonous miasma, turned into a vast grassland illuminated by moonlight and starlight.

It wasn't until this moment that Cat Rider Ricky felt that her body was no longer so illusory, but really had a sense of materialization.

“…… Whew - the first level was finally passed easily, what is the next main quest? ”

Among the five veterans of the entire team of twenty, the big man in camouflage with a sniper rifle stretched his waist and said. When everyone heard this, they also looked down at their watches, "...... Well, the second main quest hasn't been released yet...... Everyone is on standby for the time being. ”

The camouflage-uniformed man carrying a sniper rifle announced, while looking at the slime mage next to him who was trembling violently in surprise, "...... Hey, what's wrong with you? Was it an electric shock or a seizure? Why do you shake like a blender? ”

“…… You can wear the watch on your hand, of course it's fine, but I feel like I've got a foreign object in my body, and I'm so uncomfortable! Slime Mage Ghismet grumbled as he twitched, "...... To make matters worse, I couldn't see what was on my watch! ”

- Well, it does feel a little awkward to have a round slime wear a watch...... Slime Mage Gesme had always swallowed the watch inside her body before, but now she wanted to take it out to look at the screen on it, and she was immediately embarrassed.

“…… Hehe, don't worry, it doesn't matter if you can't see it, if there is a new mission, the main god will have a prompt sound......"

The vampire captain with a pale face in a red and black cloak grinned, and was about to say something to make a round, but his face suddenly changed, and his eyes widened. At the same time, in the minds of everyone present, a mechanical and monotonous, but nightmare-like voice sounded: "...... The system shuts down, the scene ends, and all the reincarnators are forced to pop up? ”

The next moment, all five veterans disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only their clothes, equipment, and trinkets, which crackled and fell to the ground.

Faced with such a scene that completely exceeded the limits of imagination, the remaining fifteen newcomers in infinite space were all suddenly messy in the wind.

Aha??! What the hell is this development?! What kind of fame are you doing?!!

What's even worse is that when these veterans left, why did they forget about us newcomers?!!!

The most maddening thing is, what should I do next!!!

Just as these ten cat people, one tiger man, two goblins, a slime and a constructed iron golem, a total of fifteen newcomers in infinite space, stood under the pillars of the temple, looking at each other and at a loss, feeling as if their hearts were being run over by 10,000 grass and mud horses, 10,000 Wangxingren, then 10,000 cats, and finally 10,000 squeaks. The next, even more terrible nightmare struck.

- The grand staircase in the center of the temple, the entrance to the interior of Nassalik's tomb, suddenly gushed with a chilling and terrifying aura.

“…… Kukuku, are you disturbing the peace of the Great Tomb of Nasalik? My teeth are hungry for Allins! ”

With a childish voice and cute oral habits, as well as the crisp footsteps of small leather boots stepping on the stairs, a petite dark goth Lori, with a full queen aura, appeared proudly at the entrance of the big tomb. She is one of the two concubines of the Lich King, the NPC of the Guardian of the first to third floors of the Great Tomb of Nasalik, the level 100 vampire True Ancestor, and the "War Maiden of Blood", Shatia. Brad Flen !!

At this moment, Shatiya was wearing a red and black evening dress, wearing a pair of pure white embroidered lace gloves, her appearance was only about fourteen years old or even younger, her childish face was simply a combination of cuteness and beauty, but the aura around her body was more terrifying than that of any beast. Behind this vampire true ancestor, she was followed by a group of vampire brides who wore delicate white gauze dresses and served as her favorite concubines and slaves.

Next, I saw that Shatia's crimson eyes exuded a bewitching and pleasant look, and she looked at this group of stunned invaders with interest, and then opened her bright red lips, licked her lips with her moist tongue, and sighed in disappointment: "...... What? I thought it was a group of strong enemies who could fight to their heart's content, but I didn't expect it to be a group of little guys who couldn't help themselves! Hey, it's okay, it's okay to be idle anyway, so I'll play with you! Cute little things! Do you want to play with me one by one? Or is it just like that? ”

As she said this, Shatia grabbed the skirt of her gown and saluted as if she had been invited to dance at a ball.

On the other side, in the face of Shatia, a vampire true ancestor who is up to level 100, all the rookie players present who are of only one race and profession are only one level, and a total of two levels are all as if they are being targeted by prehistoric beasts in an instant, and they feel a cold chill that extends from their backs to the bottom of their hearts!

The body seemed to be frozen by a cold snap, not to mention stepping forward to fight, and even turning around and running away.

- The absolute disparity in race and professional rank really made everyone feel infinite despair!

Even if all the levels of everyone are combined, it is less than one-third of the Lori in front of you, how can this battle be fought?!!

Escape is also impossible, and who can outrun a vampire in the dark of night in a cemetery that will turn into a bat?

So, in line with the idea that heroes don't suffer immediate losses, everyone exchanged glances with each other, and immediately coincidentally used the trick of "Tiger Landing Style" together, lying on the ground and kowtowing like pounding garlic: "...... The most beautiful True Ancestor!! Spare your life!! Licking his lips, he sighed in disappointment: "...... What? I thought it was a group of strong enemies who could fight to their heart's content, but I didn't expect it to be a group of little guys who couldn't help themselves! Hey, it's okay, it's okay to be idle anyway, so I'll play with you! Cute little things! Do you want to play with me one by one? Or is it just like that? ”
