Stealing the protagonist's chance at the beginning

Chapter 14 Props in the Wooden Box

A quarter of an hour later.

Xu Fei and the other three players, led by a young NPC named Shen Lin, came to a slightly dilapidated courtyard in the southwest of the village.

Looking into the yard through the crack of the cobweb-streaked door, you can see that there are overgrown weeds inside. It should have been unoccupied for some years.

But regardless of the dilapidated appearance, the layout and scale of the yard is not small.There are three main rooms made of light blue bricks, as well as east and west wing rooms and firewood rooms.No matter how you look at it, it is not like ordinary villagers can live in.

"It seems that we are lucky!"

Xu Fei took a few glances, with a bit of unexpected joy on his face.

Although he doesn't mind much about the place where he lives, why not do it if he can get a place with good conditions?

"The luck of the few is indeed good."

The well-built boy guiding the way suddenly interjected: "This was the home of a superhuman in the village before, but unfortunately he died five years ago. He himself has no heirs, and since then no new superhumans have been born in the village, so this yard has been left unused. "

[They are all melons in a greenhouse] With a thoughtful expression, he asked, "Is it because of encountering strangeness and strangeness? Extraordinary people will sacrifice too?"

This question made Shen Lin smile wryly, and said: "In the eyes of ordinary people, extraordinary people may be very powerful. But in the eyes of those who have no solution, extraordinary people are nothing more than bigger ants. In the past ten years, our There are at most seven extraordinary beings in Huaizhuang at the same time. But even if you count the two newly promoted during the period, there are only five extraordinary people now."

In other words, in ten years, nine extraordinary people died and four died?

If the factor of the game is excluded, this sacrifice ratio is quite scary.

Among the other two players, the male player named [Xuanming Sanlao] couldn't help sighing: "Is extraordinary being such a dangerous profession?"

Shen Lin sighed: "Actually, the power of the gray fog has remained relatively quiet in the past ten years. The main reason is that there was an accident five years ago. As a result, two people were sacrificed in the first battle, and one superhuman was seriously injured. Alas! "

Speaking of this, he seemed to be reminded of some frightening memories, and he no longer had the interest to speak.After dividing up the rooms for the four of them, and arranging for bedding, tables and chairs, and cleaning tools, they left sullenly.

Watching the other party disappear, the melon in the greenhouse suddenly said: "Listen to this person, the power of the gray fog still has cycles. Some years are quiet and some years are active. I am starting to worry about the NPCs in this world..."

Although he didn't finish his words, several players understood what he meant and quickly laughed.

Players are not called the "Fourth Natural Disaster" for nothing. Once they come, no matter how peaceful the world is, I'm afraid it will suffer.

What wars, plagues, evil gods, ancient monsters, abyssal demons, alien zerg, void creatures... You have to play the version that can be adjusted in turn. The game world that is severely damaged and devastated may usher in the final peace.

In the same way, if the players don't come to the [Land Abandoned by God], the power of the gray fog may continue to be silent; but from the moment the first test starts, until the active period of the gray fog arrives, I'm afraid it will enter the countdown!

There is no way, although the routine is old, but the righteous players eat this routine, and never get tired of it!

"Why worry about NPCs, left and right are just a bunch of data, even if this is a virtual game!" Xuan Ming said carelessly.

It can be seen from his relaxed expression that this is undoubtedly his true thought.

Xu Fei knew that before realizing the special nature of this game, this idea might represent the mainstream view of most players.

Games, aren't they just for players to play?

The melon in the greenhouse raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't fully agree with the words of the three elders Xuanming.But everyone was not familiar with each other after all, so he didn't argue anything, just greeted a few people, and was going to clean up the yard first.

During the first test period, this is probably their "home".

If it's too messy, it's bad to live in, isn't it?

.........

In any case, as Xu Fei and the others confirmed their own rooms, the novice task in the second ring was declared complete.

While receiving 1 point of life source again, the four of them received the third and final link of the novice guidance task.

[Newbie Guidance Mission (Final) - Survival and Start]

Task content: You have joined Huaizhuang Village, the villagers here are willing to provide food and clothing for the aliens.However, it is far from enough for players to meet the minimum survival needs.

Find a job in Huaizhuang as soon as possible and get the foundation of your life!

Tip: To complete this task, there are two ways of fighting and life, players can choose according to their own hobbies.

Task reward: 1 point of life source.

Failure penalty: None.

The previous two ring missions had clear time limits, coupled with events such as the Killing Heart Weed attack, the players felt an inexplicable sense of urgency and were eager to complete the mission.

The final ring mission is different.

On the one hand, the players have settled down in Huaizhuang Village, and have a relatively safe environment.

On the other hand, this task has no time limit, and players are free to act according to their own wishes.

Under such circumstances, Xu Fei had a casual discussion with Gua from the greenhouse, Xuanming Sanlao and others, and then remained unmoved and continued to clean the "own" house.

After some busy work, the old yard finally took on a new look.

Seeing that the cleaning was over and the tasks assigned by me were completed, [Xuanming Sanlao] and the other player [Braised Pork Ribs] couldn't wait to throw down the broom and rag, and excitedly went to explore this novice village.

They harassed every NPC they saw one by one, trying to trigger tasks and plots, while paranoidly opening and destroying any boxes and jars they found.

For a moment, the whole Huaizhuang was thrown into chaos.

[All melons in the greenhouse] took the opportunity to go offline, sorted out the in-game knowledge and screenshots, and posted them on Weibo and the official forum of Land Abandoned by God, quickly attracting countless players who did not qualify for the first test The attention received a lot of traffic.

Xu Fei also wanted to go out and explore this village in the gray mist, but unfortunately, he was still in a state of weakness.

In order not to be forced to go offline, he could only hang up and rest in his room, and take stock of what he had seen and heard and the bits and pieces of information he had collected since entering the game.

In terms of intelligence, due to limited knowledge, there is actually not much to sort out.

But Xu Fei quickly noticed one thing - in the novice gift package issued by the system, apart from the short knife for self-defense, hemostatic powder and food, there was actually an exquisite wooden box.

After opening the gift bag, a series of incidents such as the attack of the Killer Heart Weed and Zhao Tiange's rush to rescue occurred soon after, so he hasn't had time to check the wooden box yet.

Thinking of this, Xu Fei immediately took out the wooden box.

After opening it, a black talisman and a dark red porcelain bottle the size of an ink bottle appeared inside.

Talisman again?

Xu Fei first picked up the porcelain bottle, looked at it a few times and put it aside, then carefully observed the talisman at the bottom of the box.

Chapter 15 Verification of Cheats

This black talisman was painted with unknown ink, and exuded a smell mixed with blood and spicy herbs.

On the front of the talisman was a monster that Xu Fei didn't recognize, its head was a bit like a dragon, but its lower body was a bit like a cow.

The back is printed with a large number of weird patterns and characters, full of mysterious meaning.

If you look at it a few more times, you will feel a faint feeling of dizziness.

Xu Fei was about to appraise this talisman when he suddenly remembered something and stopped.

——The "sequelae" of the previous analysis of the trick detection talisman have not disappeared until now!

What should I do if an exception occurs this time?

While hesitating, Xu Fei suddenly recalled a detail.

The factor that triggers the analysis may not be the only act of identification.

Holding that trick-detecting talisman may also be one of the factors!

If you identify a talisman by yourself, but don't touch it with your own hands, will you still touch the gray talisman in the real spiritual space?

Another point is that if this ability to analyze and master the drawing method of talismans is really endowed by Lin Yexiao's golden finger, then it has no reason to be out of control and can only be triggered passively.

Perhaps, I can take some risks and try to actively control the switch of this ability!

If it's a big deal, I'll be kicked offline once. Anyway, I can't do much now to hang up and rest.

Thinking of this, Xu Fei made up his mind.

He put the black talisman on the table, took a few steps back, and used the identification in the air.

In the dense light, a description of attributes appeared on the talisman.

[Ritual Solidification Talisman (Bull Body)]

Special Talisman.

A simplified version of the extraordinary ritual is sealed in the talisman, which can be used by ordinary people.

Condition: top grade.

At the time of the handover between the dark night and the white night, stick the solidified talisman on the chest and drink the blood of the bull to activate the ceremony and obtain a physique comparable to that of a bull.

Since the ritual has been greatly simplified, the strengthening effect that players can obtain will be greatly limited.

Restriction 1: The ritual is only valid for non-extraordinary people (but after the player becomes an extraordinary person, the enhanced effect that has been obtained will still be retained).

Restriction 2: The strengthening effect of the ritual cannot break through the limit of ordinary people (10 points of constitution).

Note: Exclusive benefits for first-time players!

.........

"Sure enough!"

After the appraisal was completed, Xu Fei waited intently for a few seconds, but nothing happened, and he felt relieved immediately!

However, it is not possible to draw conclusions hastily based on only one imperfect attempt.

After all, the previous abnormality may be just a BUG caused by the incomplete first test of the game; it may also be that the gray talisman in my mind just corresponds to the test talisman, and it is invalid for other talismans; it is not even ruled out that the analysis ability of the gray talisman is one-time. Only one type of talisman can be resolved.

There could be many reasons!

Further confirmation is required.

Thinking of this, Xu Fei took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, tried to sense the gray talisman in the mental space, walked to the table, and reached out to touch the black ritual solidification talisman.

"boom!"

Accompanied by an invisible, spiritual roar, the vision reappeared.

Like the previous trick-detecting talisman, this ritual-cured talisman is also magnified to the extreme, and every symbol is clearly visible.

But this time, Xu Fei was well prepared.

At the moment when the abnormality appeared and before the energy began to be consumed rapidly, he actively conveyed the idea of ​​suspending analysis to the gray talisman in the mental space.

The next moment, the slightly trembling gray talisman returned to calm.

The vision in front of Xu Fei also dissipated immediately and returned to normal.

"You have mastered part of the drawing method of the special talisman [Ritual Solidified Talisman (Bull Body)]. The current progress is 0.28%."

"You took the initiative to stop the analysis process."

"It has been detected that you have triggered the pre-quest of the deputy skill [Fu Shi], please explore the relevant task clues in Huaizhuang Village by yourself."

Due to the timely stop, although the [Energy Overdraft] in the status bar was aggravated, it was only extended by an additional 16 minutes, which was much better than the worst result of being kicked off the assembly line.

.........

Examining the new system prompt, Xu Fei was overjoyed.

After this experiment, he was sure that the gray talisman in his mind was the golden finger of the reborn Lin Yexiao, and it could be actively controlled!

With the support of rising in the game, Xu Fei felt his confidence greatly increased, and put the ritual solidified talisman back into the wooden box.

Its attributes clearly stated: It must be launched when the dark night and the white night are handed over!

Xu Fei is not yet sure whether the so-called dark night and white night are consistent with what he thinks.But there is a strict time limit for this ceremony, and there is no doubt about it.

As for the dark red porcelain bottle the size of an ink bottle, it must be filled with the blood of a matching bull.

"To be on the safe side, you can wait for other impatient players to hold the ceremony first, gain experience from them, and analyze the drawing method of this talisman by the way, and it will not be too late to use it yourself."

Thinking of this, Xu Fei put the bull's blood back into the wooden box and put it back in his backpack.

Next, continue to hang up and rest, during which time I went offline and had lunch.

After entering the game for nearly eight hours, Xu Fei finally waited until the weak state of the panel ended.

When the "prison" was over, he cheered, and he couldn't wait to leave the room and explore freely in the village.

The area of ​​Huaizhuang Village is not large, perhaps out of consideration for the convenience of resisting strange invasions, the houses are generally densely built.

But because of this, the actual population of this novice village is larger than the first impression of many players. It is estimated that there are three to four hundred households.

Considering the background of the game and Huaizhuang's backward productivity, there is no such thing as family planning. It is possible for a family to have six or seven members, or even a dozen members.
