Pan Long has been cultivating in the mountains for more than a month, but he has only touched a little bit of the skin of the "rope law world".

This technique is really unfathomable, although the introduction of the text is not very long, and the total number of words is basically finished in a thousand words, but it is very difficult to transform these thousand words into your own practice.

Many of these tricks, in his opinion, are simply in opposition to the physiological structure of human beings, and there is a great sense of "if I smash myself to death with a hammer, I will not be afraid of being assassinated".

If it weren't for the fact that he had cultivated "doing what he wanted" and had a small success, and had already stepped into the realm of returning to the basics, even if he had practiced for ten or eight years with the secret book, he might not have been able to practice.

Pan Long sighed more than once: he has been practicing martial arts for many years, and finally really came into contact with the legendary and extremely difficult "superior martial arts".

In the story, there is often a situation where someone gets the cheats and has been practicing hard for decades before they can achieve something. But since he practiced martial arts, whether it was the Nine Turns Xuangong or whatever he wanted, he hadn't really been stuck for a long time.

After only a few days of practice, the Nine Turns Xuangong basically entered the door, and it was a little more difficult to do what he wanted, but it only took less than a year to go from ignorance to grasping the trick.

And the practice of the rope discipline world...... If you don't have the foundation of doing what you want, you might really have to practice for decades.

In the past month or so, in addition to his daily life and routine cultivation, he has spent at least six hours a day studying this exercise, but until now, he has not been able to find the essentials.

Now, he can barely perform a little bit of this exercise, but it is not that he has mastered this exercise, but he relies on doing what he wants to do it forcibly—like a person who does not know Chinese, holding a document that indicates the order of typing the keyboard, and typing the document letter by letter.

As for what is said in the document, what are the rules of typing...... He didn't understand at all.

After a month of cultivation, Pan Long felt a little depressed, and his mood became more and more unpleasant.

"No! I can't go on like this!" he said to himself, "and if I keep tossing, I'm afraid I'm going to go crazy!"

Looking at the aura reserves of the Shan Hai Jing, he decided to find a new world to break through and change his mood.

When he came to the "World Catalog" like a sea of stars, he didn't even think about it, and jumped over directly.

For him now, no matter what game world, at least he can survive. Even in those worlds with terrifying backgrounds, as long as there are intelligent beings who can live, he can live.

Even if it was a world where ordinary carbon-based creatures could not be allowed to live, at least he wouldn't die as soon as he entered. It's a big deal to get in and leave right away.

The light and shadow in front of him changed, and finally turned into a sparse forest.

The sky was dull and looked like it was dusk. Because the sky was full of thick dark clouds, it was impossible to determine the exact time.

There is a path in the woods with obvious rut marks on the path, and there should be a lot of horse-drawn carriages coming and going.

It's just that...... Pan Long noticed that the rut marks were a bit old, and it seemed to have been some time coming.

It's not too long, but it's ...... At least five or six days.

He also noticed that in the nearby woods, there were many shadows and figures shaking.

In the air, it seemed that malice could be felt.

"It seems...... It's not a very friendly world!"

He muttered to himself, looked left and right, and through the sparse woods, saw in the distance what seemed to be a castle built on a mountain cliff. Going down the cliff, there are quite a few buildings, and I think there are people living in them.

"Well, go over there and maybe you'll find out what kind of world this is. ”

As he spoke, he walked toward it.

Probably because the forest path is going to that side, but it also goes by the way.

But after walking for a while, he stopped and frowned.

At the front of the path, a large fallen tree stopped the way, blocking the way.

"This cliché...... Could it be that somebody will jump out and shout, 'I'm driving this mountain,' or something?"

Sure enough, four or five figures rushed out of the woods, led by a big man who roared angrily: "Hand over all the money!"

Pan Long shook his head and sighed: "You can't even say standard lines, you guys are too disrespectful!"

As he spoke, he looked at the men. They were tall, short, thin, and dressed in simple leather garments—leather sewn onto linen tunics and fastened with ropes, even if they were armor.

As for the weapons in their hands, they seem to be varied. The big man at the head was armed with a chopping axe, the two thin men in the back were holding daggers, and a stocky guy wore a fur hat and carried a spear...... What surprised him the most was the bandit who walked at the end.

In his hand, the man was holding what looked like a musket.

"Huh, there's a musket in this world?"

He was talking to himself when he heard these people roaring angrily, and they rushed straight up without even more negotiations.

In the gloomy woods, their menacing faces were distorted, and they looked less like humans than demons.

Pan Long frowned, his figure disappeared suddenly, and the next moment, with a "bang", the big man who was the leader had already been pinched by his neck and pressed hard against a big tree next to him.

"Be honest!" he said coldly, "Before you came out to mingle, didn't your father teach you to keep your eyes open!"

But the big man didn't seem to take the matter of being pinched by his neck at all, and he didn't seem to care at all about the crushing level of force he showed, still roaring, swinging his axe, trying to cut him.

Pan Long's eyes widened, his hand was forced, and with a click, the big man's neck twisted into a strange angle, and the arm that wanted to lift the axe hung down softly, and his body lost its strength.

"I really didn't expect to meet such a fool!"

He said coldly, tossing the body aside, and turned to look at the other robbers who were slowly approaching with a low roar.

"It seems that you are similar to him, you are the kind of person who doesn't know how to write the word 'death'. ”

"In that case, then I won't talk nonsense, and I'll send you to be his companion!"

With a few short screams, silence returned to the woods.

Pan Long looked at the several corpses on the ground, shook his head, kicked them one by one, and kicked them all into the depths of the woods.

These people knew at a glance that they were destitute and dirty, and he didn't want to loot them at all.

Give these carcasses to the beasts in the woods, and I believe that jackals and mice will not refuse this unexpected feast.

With another kick of the tree that stood in his way, the road was clear again, and he turned and continued in the direction of the castle.

After walking for a while, it was as dark as ever, but the castle was already close at hand.

The castle looks old, with no lights and no guards at the door, so it looks like it may have been abandoned. The row of houses down the castle was equally empty, with no half of a figure in sight.

But at the foot of the mountain, there are many buildings of different heights, forming a small town. You can see that many residents are busy and vibrant.

Up the hill, down a steep slope, there was a large house that looked like a noble villa, with a bright light and a large cross erected in the doorway. What worries Pan Long the most is that a clearly visible white light is shining from the cross, illuminating a large area around him.

In this area, several people in leather clothes and even armor are being tied to wooden stakes, and there are people who seem to be looking after them. It didn't look like torture, but like they had some strange disease and had to be tied up.

In the town, there are also some large and small crosses. Most of these crosses emit a white light, creating bright patches of light in the town.

Seeing this scene, Pan Long smiled.

"I know where this is, isn't this the 'Twin Cities' that 'was abused in a dream, woke up and abused monsters'. ”

"Two Cities" is also quite famous among VR games, it is a famous game in the history of VR games with a gray and dark theme. When it was first approved for listing, it took a lot of time.

Early VR games were not limited to genres, horror, gore, and adult...... Both. But after the advancement of VR technology, with the establishment of the Great Federation, there are many more restrictions on the theme of VR games.

Pan Long remembers that the government's statement at the time was that the realism was too high and could make players uncomfortable.

This continued until games like Two Cities passed the review. At that time, there was another improvement in game technology, mainly to determine the player's mental state according to the player's brain wave changes, and switch to a relaxed and humorous scene for relaxation before the player's mental pressure was too great, so as to resolve the pressure in time to avoid causing mental damage to the player.

With this technology, noir-themed games that have been banned for almost a decade can be regarded as returning to the VR platform.

"Twin Cities" is a representative of that time.

The story of this game takes place in a remote town, the town is shrouded in evil forces, even during the day, you can't see much light, and at night it is even more ghostly, making people afraid to go out.

In the vicinity of this town, there are many large and small labyrinths, which are full of dangers, in addition to all kinds of dangerous enemies, but also permeate the terrifying pressure. Even if you don't participate in the battle, as long as you stay in this terrifying environment for too long, you may be scared to the point of a collapse of your mind and become a madman.

For adventurers who come to the town to hunt for treasure, being scared into a madman is actually more common than death.

And in this town, there is another danger - if you can't fall asleep in an environment shrouded in divine power, then you will enter another world after falling asleep.

That world was probably a bustling town more than a hundred years ago. But the townspeople have all turned into monsters, and there are relatively safe places to rest in the labyrinth.

Compared to the waking world, the biggest feature of the dream world is that it is "real" - in the dream world, players will no longer have the concept of "leveling up". How strong it is at the beginning, and how strong it is at the end, there will be no other changes except for equipment changes and technical improvements.

As a result, the "dream world" part of the game has been well received by players, many people are dismissive of the mazes in the waking world, and are keen to fight the residents and demons who have turned into monsters in the dream world.

In the words of the players: this kind of battle is particularly realistic.

Pan Long is not the kind of hardcore player, he still likes the situation that his powerful monsters are relatively weak. "Musou mowing the grass" may be exaggerated, but deliberately challenging the difficulty is also pure masochism in his opinion.

He also played the game, but not much. The main reason is that the overall style of the game is too gloomy, which he doesn't like quite a bit.

But there's no denying that the game made such an impression on him that decades later, when he saw the town, he immediately recognized it.

"Since it's this world...... Should I first go find the heir of the Count and talk to him?" he said to himself, "the heir is a decent man who is bent on cleaning up the mess left by his ancestors, and the result is ...... I remember that the guide said that this game has three endings, except for the most difficult one, 'Holy Return', the other two endings are quite miserable. ”

"Well, if I have time, I'll give him a hand. ”

With that, he walked towards the town.

About half an hour later, he arrived at the door of the villa, accompanied by the town's tribune.

When I got closer, the twisted and hideous expressions of the people tied to the stakes became more and more frightening. Listening to their murky, inhuman roars, the heavily armed tribune shuddered despite the fact that they were protected by two soldiers.

Pan Long didn't care at all - since determining what kind of world this was, he had an extra "sanity" value on his character panel. It's just that compared to the situation where ordinary people have an upper limit of one hundred sanity, the upper limit of his sanity value is as high as five hundred, not to mention, and it is still flashing with bright white light.

And in his personal character, there is one more "sacred".

[Holy: You have initially stepped into the realm of transcendent holiness, of course you are not a god yet, but you are not a mortal either. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call you "Holy" - Effect: Unaffected by "Psychic Pollution", has a high sanity cap, and is able to self-heal. 】

Pan Long remembers that in this game, the biggest trouble for players is that their sanity value is often reduced, and when it is lowered to a certain level, the character will fall into madness. It's just that it's completely uncontrolled, and even if you return to the maze and receive treatment, your sanity value will not be fully restored, and the upper limit will be permanently reduced.

In my own situation, in the game, I probably opened the plug-in, basically ignoring the loss of sanity value, right?

"Playing games with plug-ins, although it's a bit tasteless, it's also a relaxing experience. ”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and his mood was a little happy.
