Chapter 103: The Descent of the Machine (5K)
At the time of the Bering Cleaning, Ji Qianqin was still fighting with video games.
The authority of the god El-god is not something that can be obtained for nothing, and at the beginning she may have been completely selfless when she gave authority to her children, but now, born from myth through a twist, she is completely greedy.
It's like now, anyone who joins this arcade wants to exchange things and has to rely on in-game currency. In addition to the things you cherish, you can also get game currency by fighting against the game consoles in the arcade and winning.
Ji Qianqin only had 50 game coins in hand, and she took a look at it, even the lowest-level doll grabbing maneuver required 10 coins, which was not something she could afford at all.
This is also normal, and the names and introductions of those prizes are very intimately placed in the crane machine. Ji Qianqin glanced at it roughly before, and soon found that the origin of these things seemed to be terrifyingly big.
[Orchid Pavilion Preface Copy], [Hermes Feather Shoes (Imitation)], [Hephaestus's Hammer (broken)], [Don Quixote's Windmill]......
According to the introduction in the crane machine, these things can exert strange powers that people can't understand. For example, the "Orchid Pavilion Preface Copy" can pull the identified person into the environment, perform a game called "flowing water and winding water" in order, and at the same time make it mandatory for everyone to compose a poem......
In short, it's a mess, but if you really want to use it, it's quite strong.
But it's still the same sentence, after seeing the request of "ten coins at a time" for the crane machine, Ji Qianqin retreated.
She used to play with the claw machine when she was a child, and she knew very well how much water there was in this thing.
Especially the claw catching machine in the video game hall opened by different species, no one can say how many cats are hidden in it.
Anyway, according to what Bering told them before he came, it was like the kind of game that seemed to reward excellent grip and was coveted, and they had better not touch it.
The god El is not a simple good god, not to mention that she was born into this world through distortion, and her own "creator" status alone determines that she must not be an ordinary good god.
So it's unlikely that she'll be able to make it easier for people who come here to play games.
Therefore, Ji Qianqin and Song Qingci didn't look at those tempting prizes, but glanced at each other, and then went straight to the game console in a corner!
It was an older arcade machine.
The type of arcade game is a level, and each level requires the corresponding game currency to be dropped. The first level requires 3, the second level requires 6, the third level requires 9, and so on......
And every time you succeed in a level, you'll be able to get double the amount of that level. For example, if you complete the first level, you need 3 game coins, and after passing the level, you will be given 6 coins; And then you go to the second level, which requires 6 in-game coins to enter, and if you succeed in the level, you will be given 12, and so on.
So far, Ji Qianqin has passed the 6th level, which is the penultimate level, and is about to face the challenge of the last level.
If she passes this level, then she will have more than 150 game coins on hand.
However, it is precisely because of this that this final level is by no means simple.
Pressing the handle, Ji Qianqin looked at the game screen and suddenly a sentence popped up.
[Congratulations on passing the first six levels!] Do you still need to continue the seventh level of the challenge? 】
[Caution in advance, the challenge of the seventh level will increase in difficulty to a certain extent.] If you don't have the courage, don't try to take on a challenge. 】
[But again, the rewards of the seventh level are also quite rich. 】
[Players who pass the seventh level will receive a basic in-game currency reward in addition to the basic in-game currency rewards, and will also be able to obtain a privilege - choose one of the special goods in the game hall to take home!] These items can be weapons, medicinal herbs, or alchemical items! 】
His eyes were on this explanatory text that seemed to be dissuasive but actually seducing, and Ji Qianqin chuckled.
Then she pressed the "yes" button hard.
[Confirm the player's wishes, the seventh level will be opened soon]
[Please also ask the player to wait for a while, go to the seventh level with a smile, and then send the most wonderful despair~]
Leave this last word.
In the next second, Ji Qianqin felt as if her whole consciousness was being pulled by something, and she was dragged into the game console!
Her soul was pulled out of her body and directly exchanged for the game console under the authority of the "exchange" of the god El!
The feeling of the world spinning filled Ji Qianqin's mind, making her feel like she was riding a roller coaster that shook violently, shaking her brain evenly and stirring every second!
About half a minute passed.
This bumpy feeling slowly disappeared.
When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the sun hanging high in the sky, bright but temperatureless, just a textured sun.
and under the sun, the huge body like a mountain.
It was a huge monster with a human face and a sphinx, but there was something different about it - it didn't have the distinctive wings of the Sphinx, and the wings were supposed to be bare.
It was very tall, about fifteen meters tall, and it looked down at Ji Qianqin.
After a while, it spoke, its voice slow and jerky like the friction of a stone: "Seventh level, now start ......"
"Please use all means to defeat the beast."
"If defeated by the Beast, the challenger will ...... Death. ”
After saying this, the limbs of the huge monster stomped heavily on the ground, raising dust and sand that covered the sky.
In the dust, it screamed at the textured sun in the sky, and the cry was majestic and shocking!
If ordinary people saw this scene in front of them, they would probably be scared stupid.
After all, this really doesn't match the current game - you must know that the previous game was basically puzzle level, quiz challenge and other modes, no one would have thought that the seventh level would actually suck people's souls into it, and then in a texture-like room with a terrifying beast to start a passionate 1v1......
This can hardly be said to be a game, it should be said that it is pure fraud and ...... Murder!
On this game console, I don't know how many people died on the spot because they didn't react and didn't have the means to respond.
The bodies of these dead challengers will be collected, either as props for other xenomorph resurrections, or bought by some special hobby, and only a few will be sealed and never cared for.
It can be said that it is like a miniature image of the god El.
Betrayed by her relatives and seized power, she will become the worst, greediest, and darkest evil god after being twisted!
Her human image is only a disguise after all, no matter how kind she looks and her years are quiet, she is always a "very evil creator" produced by distortion!
Looking at the monster slowly coming towards him, Ji Qianqin glanced at the thing in his hand.
Perhaps because the god El still had the only remaining conscience, she also left weapons and armor for the challengers after their souls joined the game.
The weapon was a wooden sword that was so tattered that I didn't even know if it could be used. The wooden sword was full of mottled and rusty marks, and even the hilt was still crumbling, and almost half of the sword body was still intact.
As for the armor...... If a board of wood that is as curved and soft as paper can be used as armor, then it must be of the worst quality.
It has to be said that the ironic significance of this set of things is far greater than its practical significance. Just by looking at it, one can feel the Creator's gaze hidden in the darkness, smiling presumptuously and insidiously.
If you use this thing to fight against monsters, then Ji Qianqin feels that either there is something wrong with Ershen's brain, or something is wrong with his own brain.
Unfortunately, her mind is normal.
And one thing is a coincidence.
That is, in addition to Ji Qianqin's own brain, before, there was another person who crushed all the veins and directions, and fed her and Song Qingci with his own hands as if feeding cakes.
"In that arcade, the most important thing was not the claw machine and the race car. Although that may seem tempting, it is just a consumption trap where the effort is not proportional to the income. ”
"The only thing that really makes sense is the game console hidden in the corner."
At that time, Bering was sitting in the car, squinting at the bright sunlight outside the car window, and said with a chuckle: "The game console is divided into 7 levels, and the difficulty of each level is constantly rising. Some are tests of your intelligence, some are tests of your reactions. The difficulty of each level is not too difficult overall, and basically anyone with a sound mind can beat the first six levels. ”
"And when you get to the seventh level, everything will be different."
"The seventh level will take your souls out and put them in an arena where you will fight some twisted monster. You will be able to use your abilities during the battle, but in turn, the god will also deploy enemies of different levels for you. For example, Qianqin, you are most likely the 'Mutant Sphinx', and Miss Song is the 'Angry Typhon'. ”
"Neither of these monsters can be dealt with by you, even if it's Miss Song, I'm afraid you won't be able to last long in the face of Typhon."
Hearing this, Song Qingci couldn't help frowning: "In that case, what's the point of us challenging the seventh level?" ”
Hearing this, Bering snapped his fingers: "Of course, it's because the rewards for clearing the customs are rich and ...... There's a special trick to clearing the level. ”
"Because it's a soul body, you'll be able to communicate with the arcade's shop and buy the goods in the arcade during the challenge. And among these goods, there is a product that can definitely help two people clear the game, a winning weapon. ”
"This is something that can only be tried after entering the soul body, because you have physical limitations and you can't communicate directly with the store, and the god El is always in control. But when your consciousness enters the game, she will look away, after all, this is not the only part of her shop......"
"It's a means that El doesn't know either."
Bering sighed lightly: "Because she is not clear, the Phoenicians have perished, and her mythology has been mixed with Greek elements. In other words, in her mythology, there is a backdoor that she doesn't know about. ”
Thinking of this, Ji Qianqin smiled and looked at the sky.
"I'm going to use twenty in-game coins, open the purchase permission!" She said loudly.
In the next second, a crack opened in the sky.
An eye like inorganic matter came out of this fractured gap, looking Ji Qianqin up and down.
After a while, the eyeball dropped something from the sky.
It was a terminal device that resembled a mobile phone.
After throwing this thing down, the big eyeball immediately burrowed back through the gap, without any nostalgia and stagnation.
It's just something similar to a robot customer service left by the god El, and as long as it's within the rules, it's basically satisfied. But anyone who doesn't obey the rules, it doesn't pay attention to it at all. No matter how much it is called, it doesn't care.
Mechanical, monotonous, but efficient, that's what this thing is all about.
Holding this transparent terminal device in his hand, Ji Qianqin did not look at the evil beast slowly walking towards him, but focused his eyes on the terminal device.
She ignored the seemingly alluring props above, and instead of looking at the fantastical curiosities, she found a "search" in some invisible corner.
Clicking on the search box, Ji Qianqin did not hesitate to directly imprint the stand-alone machine in his mind early in the morning, tilting it onto the glass screen like a swift torrent!
[Searching for "deus ex maa", the result is 1]
[Do I need to spend 100 coins to purchase "DEUS EX MAA"?] 】
This choice is very beginningless and endless, because this product does not have any introduction at all, just a simple sentence.
However, if this sentence is seen by people who understand its meaning, I am afraid that they will be shocked on the spot.
Because this represents a certain huge impetus for the theatrical stage, it is a ...... "mechanical séance" that can put an end to all performances!
It is a commodity that can only be used in the state of the soul, because its essence is the end of the outlaw stage. In real life, it cannot be simply summarized as a stage.
However, the state of the soul is not the same.
The soul is essentially the product of idealism and fantasy.
After clicking this button.
The Sphinx finally came to Ji Qianqin's side.
Its claws were sharp, and the ends of its knuckles shimmered with a cold silver light, like a blade that came out of its sheath and slashed through the air with a sharp slash that was enough to cut through the moonlight!
Once this blow falls on Ji Qianqin's body, then she doesn't need half a second at all, and her body will be torn into rags like a doll!
However, the blow did not come.
At Ji Qianqin's side, the dense mist gathered like a standpoint, surrounding her, and the air flow rose steadily like an impenetrable thick wall.
The gray mist blocked the beast's claws, leaving it frozen in place, unable to move forward even a minute.
It's locked.
At this time, the mist condensed on Ji Qianqin's side, swirling in the obscure air, constructing a passage like a "door".
Three seconds later, a pair of boots stepped out of the passage.
And stomped on the grass like a texture.
In the tumbling mist, a man walked slowly through this false space.
He looked at the immobile beast and chuckled and said, "The hand of time seems to have been turned to its proper position. ”
"But the 'Q&A Beast' Sphinx? Sure enough, Elgod's taste was boring from the start. I'm afraid the other side is also like Typhon as I thought, right? ”
The place where he walked was covered with mist, like a courtier attached to his feet, and even the tall Sphinx, who was forcibly locked by the fog at this moment, had to bow his head in front of him, as if he were on the ground.
His right hand gently patted Ji Qianqin's shoulder, and the man smiled and said, "Good job." ”
"Now, stand in the back," he said, "and then you can just watch." ”
After saying this.
As if to echo his words, the Sphinx, frozen in mid-air, suddenly felt a pain in his arm.
Then, in the next second, it found that its arm hovering in the air was torn off by the chaotic mist around it!
With a "boom", the Sphinx's arm fell to the ground, raising a gust of wind and countless fine dust!
In the strong wind, the black windbreaker was curling wantonly against Ji Qianqin's side, like a crow feather covering half of the sky.
Blood splattered from the wound and stained half of the sky, like the afterglow of the setting sun, drawing a scarlet arc. However, under the black trench coat that was hunting, the blood only parted from both sides, fell on the ground next to it, and burned out holes, and none of them could fall in front of Ji Qianqin.
"Séance mecha" doesn't have to be an unexpected event.
It is from the user's own point of view, according to the user's own point of view, to judge what should be constructed.
If the user thinks that an object can play a reversal role that cannot be ignored, that it can subvert everything and reconstruct everything, then it can also be a simple object.
So of course, it can lead the stage play to the end of the "mechanical séance......
Naturally, you can be a person.
Under the blood-drenched sky, Bai Ling, who was constructed by Ji Qianqin, stood in front of the terrifying beast, his eyes dark and gloomy.
This is not a prophet in the real sense, but a "mechanical séance" simulated according to Ji Qianqin's own concept and very similar to the prophet in her imagination.
Because of this, he is still a little different from Bering.
For example, his combat effectiveness is particularly different.
He's very good at playing.
may seem to Ji Qianqin's eyes, Bering is actually the type that can play specially......
