Chapter 2: Race to the Death: Beginners in the game

In the darkness, there seemed to be no concept of going up and down, left and right, Lu Yu only felt a suction force coming, and then his body involuntarily rotated towards that point, in his own words, it felt like being in a huge toilet bowl, being sucked towards the drain.

And while he was tossing and turning, the female voice was still whispering prompts in his ear.

[Lu Yu, Rank 1]

[The player has confirmed, and the loading begins.] 】

[Game Name: Death Race, Level: Club 3, Number of Players: 10]

[This game requires a mortgage of up to 4 survival points]

"Mortgage?"

Lu Yu frowned. I've never heard of any collateral in the average game, let alone the so-called "survival points" - what is this, deduct half of your blood before playing?

Before he could think clearly, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that the world around him had changed, and his body also felt a sense of falling.

Lu Yu subconsciously wanted to adjust his posture, but he had already fallen to the rough ground.

"Heh, there's one more. There's only one left. ”

A man's voice came from the side. Lu Yu looked over and saw that he was in a place that looked like a highway tunnel, and there were seven or eight other players sitting around. Most of the tunnel was hidden in darkness, except for a small light on top of the small area they were in, illuminating the area. In the dim light, Lu Yu saw the young man closest to him with an exaggerated red mohican head, wearing a rock 'n' roll youth-style outfit, and looking bohemian. Judging from the direction, what he just said is exactly what he said.

As soon as Lu Yu's gaze fell on the man, relevant information immediately appeared above his head.

[ID: Demolition Pistol]

[Level: 3]

[Survival Points: 0]

[Status: Normal]

[Clearance rate: 50%, good at type: spades]

"Survival points 0?" Lu Yu said suspiciously, "I said, this 'Demolition Pistol' Brother Blast, why is your survival point 0?" Is that okay? ”

Brother Bang glanced at him and snorted angrily: "Lu Yu, level 1, it seems that he is a newcomer." Why don't you look at yourself? ”

Lu Yu opened his personal information interface when he heard this. The Survival Points column was still 3 before entering the game, but it was also 0 at this point.

"Mortgage up to 4 survival points...... Lu Yu nodded and suddenly realized, "I see." ”

It seems that perhaps in order to prevent dropping out (due to the development of technology, the network has become more stable, and accidental disconnection has become very rare), the system will deduct some survival points as collateral every time a player enters a newly created game. Looking at it this way, survival points can't be anything like health.,Otherwise, how to play the game if it's directly deducted to 0.,It's directly a GAMEOVER.。

At this time, there was a crackling sound similar to electricity in the open space not far to the left of Lu Yu, and when he turned his head, he saw a man with messy hair suddenly appearing from the air dozens of centimeters above the ground. Lu Yu guessed that he had probably appeared like this just now, but this man's reaction was obviously faster than Lu Yu, or at least more experienced. When he realized that he was starting to fall, he had already reacted, leaned sideways and supported the ground with one hand, turned around, and sat down cross-legged.

All eyes fell on the last player, but this one seemed to be completely unaffected by the gaze around him, still tidying up his somewhat messy clothes.

[ID: Amano]

[Level: 5]

[Survival Points: 1]

[Status: Normal]

[Clearance rate: 20%, good at type: hearts]

"Alright, the ten players have arrived, and the game is almost over." Brother Bang stood up and began to prepare for the exercise, judging by his strong muscles, this person should be quite good in terms of physical fitness.

"The name of the game is Death Racing, so what does it mean to race next? Maybe you can also attach each other to attack? Lu Yu thought to himself. He glanced around the people present and silently calculated again. From a physical point of view, whether it is a race or a race and a fight, at most half of the other nine people cannot win by themselves.

At this moment, a voice sounded in the ears of all ten people in the audience at the same time.

"The number of players has been met and the game will start in five minutes."

"A special mission has been triggered, you can choose whether to accept it or not."

"Special Quest: Answer three questions newcomers have about the basic rules of the game. Reward: 1 Survival Point. ”

At the same time as the voice sounded, a corresponding prompt window appeared in front of everyone's eyes, of course, only they could see it. The prompt window in front of Lu Yu said the same thing as the voice prompt, but there was no option to accept or reject. It's normal to think about it, Lu Yu himself is a "newcomer" who doesn't know the rules, and the system naturally won't let him take on a task that can't be completed.

"Got it! Hey! Luckily, I reacted quickly. Brother Bang jumped up excitedly.

There is no need to check the levels one by one, just by looking at the expressions of other people in the past ten seconds, Lu Yu can roughly judge which ones are newcomers and which ones are veterans.

In addition to himself, there were two other newcomers present, one was a young girl with glasses and a ponytail in the corner, and the other was a bald man standing not far behind Brother Bang. These two were at a loss when the voice appeared just now, obviously this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

As soon as the other players heard the voice, they raised their hands and clicked, and they all showed annoyed expressions after Brother Bang announced that he had received the task. Obviously, missing out on this almost free point mission was very much annoyed by everyone.

Only that Amano had his hands in his pockets from beginning to end, looking indifferent, but judging by his rank, this one was obviously not a newcomer.

"Okay, rookies...... That's right, that is, you, and you, you. Come over here and stand for me. ”

Brother Bang took a look around the arena and beckoned the three newcomers to him. With less than three minutes to go, he had to hurry to complete the task before he could concentrate on the main game.

"If you have any questions, please ask them quickly, time is precious." Brother Bang said.

"Did you skip the tutorial? You don't say what there is, how do we know what to ask. Lu Yu said, "This big brother, the game is about to start, cooperate well and you can end the task quickly, and we have some time to prepare." ”

"A newcomer, so arrogant......"

Brother Bang squinted at him, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light. Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders and said sorry.

The two newcomers next to him couldn't help but cast a disdainful look at him: he looked very dragged just now, and he was stunned when he was glared at.

"But looking at the face explosion, brother, you probably lack logic, and it is too difficult for you to say things in an organized manner. If you don't do what you want, I'll ask you to answer. You try to turn your brain as fast as you can keep up with me. ”

Unexpectedly, just after apologizing, Lu Yu immediately said something even more deadly. Without waiting for Brother Bang to get angry, he immediately asked the first question.

"What attributes do we have during the game, and how are they represented?"

"Little cub ......" Brother Bang scolded. But after all, it was important to earn points, he thought for a moment and replied, "The main thing is health, that is, the green slot under your field of vision, which will also turn yellow and red depending on the remaining value. It is said that the maximum amount of health increases with the level, but the game does not show a specific value, so you can only grasp it by feeling. In addition, there are common RPG attributes such as physical fitness, strength, defense, speed, and flexibility, and their effects are real, but the specific values are hidden, and they can only be grasped by feeling. ”

"Are all attributes hidden?" Lu Yu secretly thought that he had noticed a certain "anomaly" in this, but now was not the time to ask questions.

"Next question, how to get items and skills in the game, and is there a limit to carrying." Lu Yu immediately asked again. The glasses girl next to her cast a dissatisfied look. This task allowed the newcomer to ask three questions, which should have been asked once per person, but he was fortunate enough to use up the second opportunity to ask a second question after he finished asking a question. But this issue is also their concern, so let's not bother with him.

"The way to get it is nothing more than a quest reward, picking it up in the game, giving it away from others, and buying it in the store. Generally speaking, the rookie backpack defaults to ten spaces, and the same type of consumables can be stacked up to ten, accounting for only one space, and one other item occupies a space, and the equipment has several special equipment positions, such as the head and feet, etc., but I haven't tried out the specific ones. In my experience, when you pick up an item that you can equip or put in your backpack, the system will naturally prompt you. It's the same with skills, and the system will naturally explain it when you encounter it. Next question. ”

"This game really has skills......" Lu Yu muttered. Skills that might bring special effects piqued his curiosity more than equipment that purely increased stats. However, whether it is equipment or skills, it can only be fate now, and while the other two newcomers have not yet figured out the problem, Lu Yu hurriedly threw out the third question:

"What are the survival points, and what happens if they are cleared?"

A hideous smile suddenly appeared on Brother Bang's face, as if he had been touched by this question. This momentary change in expression made the other two newcomers unconsciously take a step back, and only Lu Yu was still standing firmly in place.

"Boy, it's long overdue, that's the most important thing." Brother Bang sneered, "I'll answer your last question first." The answer is death. But not the death of the characters in the game. ”

He pointed at Lu Yu and said, "It's you, you will die." ”
