Chapter 2: Do you call this a novice scene?
He opened his eyelids, which seemed to become heavy, at the sound of the voice.
At some point, he had already stood up.
[Note that this scene is a beginner scene, which is intended to help players get familiar with the game as soon as possible, so you can't get any additional rewards]
The information jumped out of the panel again, and the cold voice made Su Ming wake up instantly.
Tilting his head left and right to look at the scene he was in, he raised his eyebrows in some surprise.
"Is this my apartment?"
Su Ming never expected that the novice scene derived from the deep-sea game for him turned out to be his home, a bachelor apartment he rented in the outside world.
Under the bright incandescent light, it shows his residence in reality, and even the clothes on his body have become the casual clothes he usually wears at home, and all the items and places in the scene are exactly the same as in reality.
Well...... Except for the game warehouse of the deep-sea game that just arrived today, it did not appear at this time.
"Could it be that this so-called novice scene will also evolve into a whole world?"
Su Ming set his eyes on the balcony window and walked over with curiosity.
However, at this moment, the lights in the living room suddenly began to flicker.
After three seconds, the lights went out, and the entire game scene instantly became dark, with no light in sight, as if there was only one lighting source for this novice scene.
But in the second before the lights went out, Su Ming clearly saw that in the reflection of the window glass, less than three meters behind him, with a certain flicker of the light, there was an extra ...... Person?
If that thing could still count as a human.
A pale and thin terrifying figure, its overly slender limbs make it even less human, its face is slender and its chin is narrow, and between the long dry hair is two empty eye sockets that are pitch black, although I don't know if the other party has no eyeballs or the eyeballs are pure black, but Su Ming feels that the other party is looking at him.
When the darkness ended, that gaze seemed to turn into a tangible touch, which made a little chill feel down his spine.
Most people will either scream and attack indiscriminately, or stumble and try to get away.
But Su Ming didn't hesitate at all, as if he had night vision, he bypassed several obstacles and went straight to the gate.
He remembers the exact location of each item in his home.
In just two breaths, he came to the gate, opened the gate and rushed out.
Almost as soon as he opened the door, he heard a strange scream behind him that was terrifying.
"Woo......"
Then there was the sound of bangbang
The thing came after me.
"What the hell, why is this stuff in my subconscious home?"
Out of the gate, Su Ming was not in a hurry to continue to stay away, in the darkness he held the doorknob and listened carefully to the huge movement of the other party chasing after him.
Calculating the moment, he slammed his hand and closed the door.
Before the loud sound of the door closing, Su Ming heard a sound similar to a knock on the door, which was obviously the sound of the skinny skinny ghost creature colliding with the door.
The sound of the door closing caused several voice-activated lights in the hallway to light up at the same time.
"There's more than one light source, and I thought I had to deal with this in pure darkness."
It was only at this moment that the system voice sounded belatedly.
【Main quest triggered】
[Please note that the main quest is a quest that must be completed to clear each scene]
Ignoring the eerie whining sound coming from the other side of the door, Su Ming focused on the newly popped up mission panel.
There is currently only one task on it, which was just triggered.
[Escape], the mission introduction is also extremely simple:
[For some reason, you find that there is an uninvited guest in your house, and the strange appearance of the other party even makes you wonder about its race...... Anyway, stay away as soon as possible.]
[Objective: Survive for 2 minutes]
"Survive for two minutes?!"
This seemingly simple task condition made Su Ming nervous instantly, because if it wasn't because the clearance conditions of the novice scene were relatively simple, it could only explain ......
At this moment, the whining inside the door stopped abruptly.
"Click-click......"
An eerie sound similar to the trembling collision of gums suddenly sounded, like a sign before the monster attacked.
"You won't be giving me a big deal about this movement......
After only hesitating for a moment, Su Ming gave up the idea of blocking the door, because the prelude of the other party's similar skill chanting made him feel bad, generally according to the game setting, this is the time for the player to run away, if you wait in place, it will most likely not end well.
He walked away quickly down the hallway of the apartment without looking back.
Bang!!!
Three seconds later, a massive explosion made him look back.
His door was smashed!
Looking at the scattered fragments of the flying door panel and the ghost thing that seemed to be completely unharmed, Su Ming completely gave up the slightest idea of confrontation.
"Woo......" As a crying scream rang out, several voice-activated lights near his door had begun to flicker uncharacteristically.
Knock knock knock...... In the blink of an eye, the sound of life-threatening footsteps had begun to approach rapidly.
As the was moving at a rapid pace, the voice-activated lights in the hallway were also going out.
The monster approached quickly with darkness, bringing with it a great deal of pressure.
The other party's speed at the moment is estimated to have exceeded the world sprint record, and it is not easy to run at this speed with its thin body.
"Long legs are good, running so fast......"
After complaining casually, Su Ming turned his head and concentrated on running for his life.
Although he thinks that most novice game scenes will not arrange a monster that can kill the player in one hit, maybe this deep-sea game is one of the very few.
There are also some miscellaneous items such as garbage bags and shoe racks in the hallway, but most of the novice scenes don't have other NPCs, because no one protests because the ghost is making such a big noise.
"It seems that it is mostly impossible to find someone to ask for help, so I can only figure it out by myself, and I only need to hold on for two minutes."
While continuing to escape while retrieving information in his brain to find a countermeasure, Su Ming was already about to run to the end of this corridor.
"This is the fourth floor, there is only the fifth floor above and there is an open rooftop on the first floor, and there are four floors below, but I don't know if the door of the apartment is open or closed, judging from the touch of my running thighs, I should not have a key in my trouser pocket, and it is estimated that the doors of the residents' rooms on both sides of the corridor are unlikely to be opened......"
After some quick thinking, Su Ming made a decision when he ran to the end of the corridor: turn around and go upstairs.
After taking a few steps up to the fifth floor, Su Ming pulled the handrail of the stairs and made a sharp turn to the iron gate leading to the rooftop.
The door, he remembered, was usually unlocked, and he pushed it open.
By this time, the sound of the ghost thing running had already indicated that it had reached the location of the stairs on the fourth floor, and less than thirty seconds had passed, a long way from the two minutes required by the mission.
Su Ming dodged into the door, not trying to close the door, because that might make other noises, he only took a step to let his body be hidden by the half-open door and didn't move again.
At this moment, he found that his heart was beating very fast, and his physical fitness, which had not been professionally exercised in reality, also appeared, and he couldn't help but want to gasp for breath, he quickly covered his mouth and nose, and used his palms to help control his breathing, trying not to make a sound.
But at this moment, something new appeared in front of him again, and in the lower right corner of his line of sight, there was an extra vertical thing similar to a blood bar, and the moment he looked over, a text prompt immediately appeared in that position.
[This is your fitness value, which is displayed as a percentage, and the specific value is not visible.] Any action you take in the scene will consume it, in general, it will be very small, it may be consumed very quickly (such as strenuous exercise, continuous movement, use of certain skills, etc.) in the following scenes, it can be slowly recovered after resting or eating in the scene, and certain skills/props/scenes will also make it recover. When your stamina is too low, you will enter a weakened state and your mobility will be greatly reduced. Current stamina is 82%. 】
After quickly glancing at the information and writing down the information, Su Ming let out a sigh of relief.
Perhaps it was the sudden system information that diluted the fear, but his tension was relieved a lot.
"I didn't expect my fitness to drop by nearly a fifth after running so far, but I'm recovering."
It was supposed to be that the behavior at this moment was judged to be resting, and a small green rising arrow appeared at the end of Su Ming's stamina, indicating that it was slowly recovering.
"But how can this game only have stamina and no health? Well...... The stamina information only appears when the stamina is consumed greatly, so does this mean that the stamina is consumed when the stamina is consumed greatly......"
Boom!
A strong force suddenly attacked, directly knocking Su Ming through the iron gate and flying far away, and he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood while he was still in the air.
The moment he was knocked into the air, he noticed that there was also an extra slot next to the stamina on the panel, and sure enough, it was.
[This is your health, displayed as a percentage, and the exact value is not visible.] Any damage you take will reduce it, and certain skills/items/scenarios will restore it. When your health reaches zero, you will die. Current health is 78%. 】
Still took a look at the information and wrote it down, Su Ming didn't have time to sigh that the ghost thing in this novice scene hit him through the door and hit him with a quarter of his blood, and as he fell heavily and rolled a few times, his health fluctuated violently, and finally stopped at 51%, almost falling below half.
Quickly getting up, Su Ming waited for him, staring at the darkness over there.
Crunch crunch......
The iron door, which had been severely deformed, was shaking, and its hinges were probably broken...... Oh no, it's broken, there's an overwhelming sound from the cracks.
Suddenly, a pale and thin slender palm reached out of the darkness, and slowly pressed against the iron door that trembled back and forth, stopping its movement.
Then, two equally pale and thin paws stepped onto the rooftop.
The came in.
It glanced at Su Ming calmly, and suddenly raised its arms, covering its two palms in front of its slender face, as if it was shy, and its two hollow dark eyes stared at Su Ming through eight dry and slender fingers.
"Click-click......"
Then, as if it was afraid, it began to tremble, and the upper and lower gums kept colliding and making strange sounds.
"Holy! Still coming? You call this a novice scene?! ”
