Humanoid Machines [Unlimited] Section 385
Even if he earns nearly 14w points at one time, it is already a huge leap in the rankings.
But if calculated according to the previous rankings, it is only roughly at about 2,500 positions. And now the ranking that Yuan Yuxue has reached, and the subversion in the standings, is only because of countless high plays, and has fallen from the standings.
There is only one possibility that will make the point ranking disappear - these players actually died in the last dungeon they entered!
And this number is still slowly expanding, and has even affected middle-level and low-level players. While dungeons are extremely dangerous, player deaths are even more common. But such a large-scale collective failure in the dungeon is obviously full of creepy weirdness.
A high player who was ranked in the top 100 and successfully survived the last dungeon, but was seriously injured that even the system couldn't cure, revealed a bit of strange information.
In his last dungeon, he encountered a special mission.
Chapter 414: Safe Zone: Dungeon Fall 2
Special missions are very rewarding, but they are also very risky. Since it is called a "death mission", at least the vast majority of players do not want to meet it.
And with its frightening difficulty, the probability of its appearance is extremely low, otherwise it would have caused panic a long time ago.
There are many, many players who will never encounter special missions from the moment they step into the "survival" game until they die. But this time, the high player who was lucky enough to survive from the previous dungeon put forward a conjecture -
He suspected that the large number of fallen players died in the process of completing special missions.
After just putting forward this speculation and causing an uproar, the master player went into hiding again.
Even other people who are at the top of the charts can't continue to contact him. However, some players came out one after another to prove that they also encountered special missions, and came back almost dead...... The loss rate of players is also very large.
This is another way of confirming this speculation.
Players who suddenly disappear from the leaderboard die in special missions, or many more people are victimized, but they just don't get noticed.
The special quest with a very low probability of appearing has now become a more dangerous talisman than the dungeon-
β¦β¦
The middle-aged man with a tired expression whispered, "This shouldn't be...... Wrong. β
Quests should not be given mortal tasks.
But the special mission is one of the accidents, and it can be said that there is no life.
This frequently triggers special tasks. It's almost like the system is deliberately trying to kill them.
"What's not to do?"
The man who survived, but was so badly injured that even the system could not heal, that his legs were paralyzed, that he was blind in one eye, and that his face was cramped with a terrible wound that looked like it was still rotting, laughed in a low, sarcastic voice, "Isn't it true that the system will give us a mortal mission? But it seems to me, more than any other monster, it wants to kill us. β
"We're just feeding on food. I thought it was powerful just to make it more delicious in front of the system and tempt it to enjoy us quickly - you see, now, it doesn't look like it's starting to do something to its chubby prey? β
The middle-aged man's lips pursed slightly. He wanted to open his mouth to persuade the other party not to be so desperate, but when he saw the man's gray, misty eyes that seemed to have lost focus, he choked slightly, and couldn't say anything.
If his injuries can't be healed, then the next time he enters the dungeon, the man will definitely die.
The middle-aged man got up and stood behind the man, pushing the other man's wheelchair. In a very slight tone, he said, "Captain, I'll take you to that person...... He will surely heal you. β
The man closed his eyes and didn't make any more sound.
β¦β¦
In fact, now, there are many players who have such a vague premonition.
They may not be like men, who have lost their relatives and friends, their physical health and abilities in the dungeon, so they are only full of resentment and despair. But I was also vaguely aware of it...... The copy seems to be doing something to them.
"He" was deliberately trying to get rid of them, the players, and what would become of them in the end...... No one knows.
It is also because of this atmosphere of anxiety and despair that it has begun to spread to the player's safe zone.
Although the life in the dungeon is so fearful that it makes people desperate. But human beings are always better able to adapt than they think.
The vast majority of dungeon players are accustomed to dancing on the tip of a knife like this, no matter how fearful they are in their hearts, no matter how difficult their lives are, and the points they can use to survive are even less pitiful - but those who have been able to persist until now have almost never lost hope of survival. Almost as hard as you can, but also to live.
The survival pressure of players is indeed too great, so the emergence of various safety zones is almost a reflection of the spiritual life that players are pursuing to vent their stress.
In the dungeon, they can live in fear, but the safe zone is the last place they can rest and relax themselves.
Because violence is prohibited in the safe zone, most players can actually live comfortably in the safe zone. And I don't want to bring the danger of dying at any time to the safety zone, and I have an open mind of being drunk today and drunk today-
But now the panic is slowly spreading in the safe zone.
The vast majority of players have difficulty accepting death. It is even more unimaginable that the despair of a special mission is triggered in the next quest.
Safe Zone. A large part of the entertainment facilities and stores are opened by players.
But after this fear spread, most of the stores opened by players temporarily stopped operating-
After all, if the next copy is going to face a certain death, then no matter how much survival resources are accumulated, it will be useless.
Almost all players focused on the sudden death of a large number of players in the dungeon.
In fact, there are many of them who don't pay attention to changes in the standings, don't know about high-level teams, and don't even have teammates.
The world can become small, and you only need to worry about whether you have enough points for your life and when you will have to enter the dungeon next time...... But the inexplicable death is closely related to them. If you run into that terrible special mission...... I'm afraid they won't survive.
In order to get more first-hand information about the dungeon, almost everyone was too busy to relax in the safe zone.
β¦β¦
Yuan Xuxue has a very small probability and has logged in to a special security zone-
It's special for him.
This is the safe zone he randomly entered after entering the dungeon for the first time.
The "City of Gastronomy" is also a small and medium-sized safety area nicknamed the "City of Retirement".
Although the number of permanent residents is not large, the values have always been very stable.
There are always some peace-loving salted fish players who are willing to stay in this small and medium-sized safe zone with good food, cheap prices and slow pace.
Yuan Yuxue's impression of the food capital is really very, very good.
Here, Yuan Yuxue tasted the soft and sweet bread for the first time, and received kindness from strange humans.
There are also very mellow chocolate desserts - at that time, the points in Yuan Yuxue's hands were really very tight. But it was just enough for him to buy some desserts that weren't too expensive.
Regarding the smell of "Rose Stuffed Heart" and "Truffle Forest" melting in his lips and teeth, that memory can be called a good one, which has been steadily preserved in Yuan Yuxue's memory, and it is clear enough to this day.
Happily, the current Yuan Yuxue, unlike the previous point constraints, wandered around the roadside shops for a long time, carefully considering the next expenses.
His current points are so huge that he can't be among the players in this retirement capital. Ranked first - after all, people who want to stay in the food capital are almost not very enterprising.
But what made Yuan Yuxue at a loss was that-
The vast majority of the shops in the City of Gastronomy are managed by players.
Now, most of the stores are closed.
Yuan Yuxue's memory is very good, and the terrain of the food capital is not complicated. According to her memory, Yuan Yuxue returned to the dessert shop where she first bought chocolate. But I only saw that the door was locked, and through the large glossy transparent glass, I could see the facilities in the dessert shop.
The chocolate and the ingredients were barely packed away. Stacks and stacks of cartons were also placed on the table. It is enough to show how anxious, or rather uneasy, the owner left the store in a hurry, and did not even have time to put the meltable chocolates in the freezer.
Yuan Yuxue: "......"
Even Yuan Yuxue didn't know what was going on. But such an accident also made him lower his eyes slightly.
A bit of a loss.
It was getting dark, and the street lights on the side of the road were getting brighter.
The warm yellow color fell on Yuan Yuxue's cheeks, and the hanging eyelashes reflected a rather fine shadow.
He stayed quietly for a while, not waiting for the shopkeeper to return, before he began to walk slowly towards the shop farther away.
The shadow behind him was reflected in a long patch.
The points seem to be useless again - at least when Yuan Yuxue has at least a few points left, he can still buy delicious chocolates at the dessert shop.
It's a relatively remote location, and the street isn't very popular. As a result, not only were the storefronts on both sides closed, but there were not even passers-by.
Yuan Yuxue walked for a while before she came across a food shop that was still open.
It was a bakeryβand it wasn't accurate to say it was still open, at least the owner was in a hurry to get out.
He stood outside the door, locking it neatly on the doorknob, locking it tightly. Just as he was halfway through the key hand, he noticed a rather burning gaze beside him.
His gaze burned so hot that he suspected that he had encountered his enemies in the safe zone, and if it weren't for the prohibition of the use of force in the safe zone, he would have done it.
I looked over suspiciously, but what I saw was a young man with a very young age and a clean temperament.
The shopkeeper let his guard down.
Yuan Yuxue looked at him. Look at the shelves of bread in the store.
Yuan Yuxue: "......"
Shopkeeper: "?? β
The boss paused slightly before speaking, "You go somewhere else, I'm closing." β
Yuan Yuxue hesitated, glanced inside the glass door again, turned around, and looked at him intently: "......"
Boss: "......"
Boss: "...... Why don't you come in and buy some more? β
Then he saw the eyes of the young man in front of him, which seemed to light up suddenly.
Chapter 415: Safe Zone: Dungeon Fall 3
Yuan Yuxue nodded, with a rather subtle sense of pleasure in her eyes.
In the blink of an eye, he quickly came to the door, obediently waiting for it to open - the boss didn't even see how he had come.
In fact, the boss was even hesitant to persuade the boy to go to another store. After all, he is in a hurry now, and he really has no intention of doing business......
But the person had already come, but his dark eyes were extremely clear, and he was staring at himself brightly, like some kind of small animal that was squatting on him.
The boss was a little embarrassed to speak for a while. After all, he looked so much expectant, as if simply rejecting him, would be filled with guilt.
When he hesitated, he didn't stop moving. And so the locked door was reopened.
