Chapter 5 [Be the Smartest One]
The refrigerator sighed: "Understood, it's all clear now." ”
As soon as the refrigerator sounded, the NPC driver Nigel spoke again. "Franklin-Mouse-Femba, welcome to Yumanji."
"It's a hair, not a mouse." The refrigerator doesn't like the nickname "rat", it sounds small. But this is his character setting, and he is as his name suggests.
"No, sir, it's just a mouse. It's because you're small and likable that you get this nickname. I knew you were coming, and Dr. Yongshi wouldn't have gone anywhere without you as a reliable follower. Nigel said with a smile.
Good guy, he's such a hardcore follower, 99% of couples are not so close.
At this point, the players are not aware of NPC Nigel's strangeness, and he does not introduce Dimon or greet him, even though Dimon has already spoken.
"What, squire?" The mentality of the refrigerator collapsed a little, and he really became the follower of the weak chicken Spencer. Just looking at the game panel, it was obvious that the characters were set up like this, but he didn't want to admit it.
"Yes, you've been inseparable from Dr. Yongshi since he rescued you from the warlords in the Peruvian jungle." Nigel introduced earnestly.
"Okay." The refrigerator resigned itself to its fate, who made him choose such a game character? And he was the first to choose, and at the time I thought the role looked amazing. Spencer also said that zoologists are so cool, cool hairy!
Jumanji is a bit pitiful when it comes to character selection, players can't see the character's images and attributes, and it's easy to be misled by a brief character introduction. For example, Professor Shelly Oberlen's introduction is "plump genius", and Bethany chose it without even thinking about it. She didn't expect this to be a man, there are many girls in the United States named Shelly, and the spelling is the same.
If there is an image, the refrigerator will definitely choose the macho Dr. Yongshi, who is similar to his real body size. Bethany will choose the beautiful Tekken Ruby, and after having long legs, she will definitely want to find a mobile phone to take a selfie.
Spencer wanted to get home as soon as possible, and asked Nigel, "Let's talk about the curse." ”
"It's all written in the letters I sent you, Doctor, and maybe you should read them." Nigel smiled.
"Where's the letter?" As Spencer spoke, he noticed a letter appear out of thin air in his right hand. Everyone was amazed and thought that this game world was amazing.
Spencer opened the envelope and began to read it. Everyone was suddenly substituted into the audience's perspective, even Damon. This is the game's cutscene, with Nigel narrating in the first person about the cause and effect of the main quest.
The game's antagonist is Dr. Yongshi's former partner, now sworn nemesis, Professor Russell Van Pert.
He led an archaeological team to Yumanji in search of the legendary jaguar god, and when he found it, he took the gems from the statue for himself. Yumanji has always been guarded by the leopard god, and legend has it that whoever takes the gem from the idol will be devoured by the power of darkness.
The gem gave Van Pelt the ability to control all of Yumangi's creatures, and he could command them at will, while Yumanji was horribly cursed.
"What if you say that you will take the gem and it will be consumed by the power of darkness? How did this thing not only not die, but also gained superpowers? Dimon complained, but Nigel ignored him and continued to introduce the story.
As soon as Dimon interrupted like this, his teammates suddenly felt that the game was not so scary.
At night, for the sake of Yumanji's future, NPC Hero Nigel stole the gem from the big boss Van Pelt after all the members of the archaeological team were asleep. It was a very easy process, and Van Pelt and his men did not have the slightest precaution or concern......
After the cutscene, a large, green, plastic gem appears in Nigel's hand.
He shoved the gem into the hands of the sluggish Spencer. "Alright, the gem is here, and you must do everything you can with the help of your friends to put it back into the eyes of the jaguar god and lift the curse."
Nigel opened the car door and let the five of them get off the bus in an open grassy area. He also left a map of Yumangi, prompting several people to go to the bazaar to find the "missing piece". But he didn't say what it was, and he didn't ask.
Nigel also told them to shout "Wakanda Ava" after the mission was completed...... No, it's just shouting "Yumanji" to clear the game and return to reality.
Everyone was nervous, and then they had to walk, and the four players didn't know what danger they would encounter.
Dimon knows the plot, but he was also an ordinary person who fought like a scumbag before, and he was at risk of hanging up in the face of the enemy. Paradoxically, he doesn't want to clear the level in a low-key way, and is eager to do a big job.
Because only if he does shocking big things, the fire can be upgraded, how can he do big things as a supporting role?
He vaguely senses that Tinder is agitated, and Tinder longs for him to save Yumanji as the core of the team, which is a task he must complete in this world.
He was curious to know what would change after the Tinder was upgraded, and if it would give him new superpowers.
"This, put it in your bag first?" Spencer asked the fridge with the gem.
"Nope." The refrigerator shook its head. Gems are important props, can he keep them if he doesn't have combat power? Just thinking about it makes him feel unsure.
"Please, fridge, only you have a backpack." Spencer and fridge spoke politely and for good reason.
The refrigerator can't say no more, and the others don't even have a big pocket, let alone a backpack. He casually stuffed the gem into his bag and asked, "Okay, now that we have the map, what do we do next?" ”
"I think it's going to the market, right?" Spencer proposed. He thinks it's right to go to the NPC for a clue.
With a clear goal, Martha was in a better mood. "So, we just put the gem back on the idol and we should be able to go home, no problem."
Bethany possessed the fat uncle still does not change her habit of being coquettish, and her temperament is terrifying. He sharpened his voice and said depressedly: "Can't you just leave?" I don't want to play this game anymore. ”
"We've got to finish the game, and I think we're going to save Yumanji." Spencer's expression is like that of a superhero. After speaking, he turned his back and looked into the distance, leaving everyone with a reliable back.
Both girls were immediately attracted by his temperament, and Bethany whispered, "Oh my God, he's really manly." ”
Damon took Bethany's words. "You're also very manly, and if you stand in his position, your back looks like you're going to buy oranges."
Bethany didn't know what the stalk of buying oranges was, but she didn't think it was a good word, and gave Daemon a ecstatic look.
On the other side, the manly Spencer was whispering to himself with red eyes. "Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry......"
It took him three minutes to force himself to calm down and say to his companions, "Let's go." The car was coming from behind, with jungle on the left and right, and I thought the right way to go. ”
The three of them agreed, the road ahead seemed to be the best to take, and for this one they had to take a straight line.
Only Dimon objected. "The first thing we have to do is not to go to the market, but to make sure what supplies we have, to know what everyone is good at, and to make a plan before we go. Don't always think about going home early, how to survive is the first thing we have to think about, this game is very dangerous! ”
Compared to kung fu with fists and feet, Damon is certainly not the best person in the team, so he has to be the smartest one.
They have plenty of time to prepare, and as long as they don't enter a specific location and hear the drums of war, the enemy won't come.
