【Conan】I just want to survive but I am forced to join the main plot

Ruo Muliang returned to the lounge of Mihua City Hall, looked at the playback file thoughtfully transmitted by Noah's Ark, and clicked his tongue.

According to his original setting, the "guests" are of course the protagonist's team including Mao Lilan. Keeping the Valkyrie away from the arena will increase the difficulty of this copy.

Don’t think that the prompt from Noah’s Ark at the beginning: [In this arena, become the ultimate winner] is a hint that players need to defeat other gladiators in the arena to win the championship.

In fact, those who would become gladiators were all "slaves". People living in modern society may not understand that in the context of the Middle Ages, the status of "slave" was really inferior to that of livestock.

Even if he becomes the champion of the entire arena, a slave is still a slave. How can he be called a "winner"?

Of course, guests are not entirely guests. No one would lock distinguished guests with slaves. The guests here are nothing more than higher-end goods.

These "guests" who are taken away by goatees will indeed be served with delicious food and drinks. There will also be dedicated people to bathe and change clothes every day, and dye their clothes with expensive spices. And because of their status as guests, they can freely enter and exit any corner of the arena without being restricted (except that they cannot leave or come off to play games).

In fact, the strategy for this copy has two lines from the beginning, and each has a hidden line.

Because the difficulty setting was very high, according to Wakamu Ryo's original plan, this dungeon was ranked fourth.

"Tsk, you're messing up my plan."

[...From an artificial intelligence perspective, I think your setting is a bit difficult. 】

"Is this still difficult? I gave such an obvious hint."

Ruo Muliang, who had returned to his professorial appearance, raised his eyebrows gracefully.

【? 】

"Isn't it obvious enough that lowly slaves can eat meat, but noble guests cannot?"

【…】

If Noah's Ark had learned how to curse, it might have wanted to give Wakamu Ryo a Chinese quintessence at this time.

In-game

Conan rolled and crawled away from the mace in the hands of the strong man who was nearly two meters tall. He relied on his agility and ran towards the horse-rejecting stake in the corner of the arena.

Xiaolan was in another wrestling match and couldn't help at the moment.

In fact, all the gladiatorial battles after entering this dungeon, regardless of the number of participants, were all initiated by Mao Lilan. If there were more than two gladiatorial battles going on at the same time, Conan would also find a way to solve each one.

With the efforts of the two of them, the number of people eliminated due to wrestling was controlled to less than 5 people.

Of course, such a gladiatorial fight is not actually an absolute dead end. There are various traps set up in the gladiatorial arena, and the gladiators they face are relatively not very bright-minded. As long as they can use Thanks to the geographical advantage of the arena, even Conan, who has been banned from cheating and whose combat power has been greatly reduced, can still successfully defeat his opponents.

While Conan was circling between the horse piles, he secretly wrapped the rope around the bottom of a pendulum mechanism, and then used the pendulum mechanism and the rope to launch himself into the sky, and in mid-air, he threw another pendulum in his hand. A rope was wrapped around the opponent's neck, and the force of the fall tightened the rope.

The two-meter-tall gladiator rolled his eyes when he was strangled. The strength in his hand relaxed and the mace fell to the ground with a clang. His whole face turned red due to lack of oxygen, and then he knelt down weakly on the ground.

When the referee marked the victory, Conan immediately untied the rope around the gladiator's neck and gave him first aid.

As we all know, when the protagonist group fights, no matter how hard they hit the opponent, they can't kill them, even in the game.

In the arena on the other side, Mao Lilan knocked out a strong man who was at least twice her size with one kick, and then returned to the slaves' dormitory.

The status of "slaves" is low, so it is absolutely impossible to have three meals a day.

However, in order to give them the physical strength to finish the game, unlimited meat will be provided once a week. Today is said to be the time for the meat distribution.

Conan rubbed the bruises on his body caused by the bump. On the way back to the dormitory, he met Hideki Morohoshi, who was alone.

"Don't eat meat."

Conan: ? ? ?

After Hideki Morohoshi said this, he turned around and hurriedly left, but Conan grabbed his clothes.

"What do you mean?"

Hideki Morohoshi glanced at the place behind him anxiously, then pointed to the sky, broke away from Conan's hand, and hurriedly disappeared around the corner.

Conan, who had previously focused all his attention on the fighting, raised his head and looked at the numbers in the sky, and his expression suddenly changed.

In the sky, the number of remaining players displayed is 32

When they entered the second level, there were 39 people. 12 people were taken away by Goatee because they claimed their identity as "guests". The remaining 27 people naturally became "slaves" participating in the gladiatorial fight due to force majeure. , 5 people were eliminated.

In other words, there should be 34 players left in this copy.

There are still 32 people left, which means that two people on the "guest" side died.

After thinking about Morohoshi Hideki's reminder of "don't eat meat", Conan still didn't understand what was happening and immediately ran towards the dormitory.

Outside the game, Ruo Muliang held his chin and clicked his tongue.

Look, Hiroki not only tops the list, but also spoils it!

As mentioned before, the strategy for this copy is two-line, and each has a hidden line.

The slave line needs to win all the games. Note that all here refers to games where the opponents are other players who are also players. There can only be one true champion.

The guest line is to use all means to survive!

Although the guests in this game are fed and fed every day, they are just like farmers raising pigs. When the pigs are fat, it is time to slaughter them.

The Arena serves these guests with delicious food every day, and is not stingy with the use of expensive spices. To put it bluntly, the ingredients are marinated before cooking. After the marinated ingredients are delicious, they are steamed in the pot.

Naturally, those who can enjoy this level of delicacies must be the masters behind this arena. However, when processing ingredients, there are always some unused leftovers, which are mixed with other animal meats and minced together, and then given to Slaves ate it.

The noble guest is finally reduced to the rations of a lowly slave, just like in the rules of chess, the most useless pawn can eat the opponent's general.

Full of irony.

The overt task lines are unrelated to each other, but the two hidden lines are inseparable.

If the goals are simply to "win the game" and "survive", only one person in both lines will be able to clear the dungeon at the end. Others, with good luck, can clear the dungeon just like the first dungeon.

Unlucky, he was eliminated before clearing the level.

Of course, in the dungeon, Ruo Muliang also left enough clues for the players. In the slave line, some clues can be learned from the mouths of some other elderly slaves.

In the guest line, there will be more important clues in the mezzanine of a book hidden in the corner of the VIP room.

But now, Hiroki is directly helping little Corgi cheat!

Ruo Muliang was biting the biscuit in a not-so-good mood, watching Conan rush into the dormitory on the screen. When Genta, who was the fastest, was about to pounce on the meat on the table, he knocked over the dinner plate on the table with a slap.

The little trap designed by Ruo Muliang was broken.

Tsk, out of sight is pure.

Ruo Muliang manually switched the channel and temporarily watched Douzi, who had entered the third treasure hunt copy in advance.

Douzi in the game automatically puts on the skin of Kaitou Kidd. One person uses various self-made props to clear a level that was originally designed to require the cooperation of two or more players.

The movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, which is pleasing to the eye.

As worthy of being the son of the world, it can be seen that among all the players, only Kuroba Kaito, who was tricked by him, is truly enjoying the game.

Until he discovered the location of the key prop treasure chest.

The smile on Douzi's face disappeared instantly, and then he called directly with a dark face to quit the game, but found that he couldn't quit at all...

Since there are only NPCs around, and these NPCs will not let Kaitou Kidd's idol burden fall to pieces, Douzi is a series of mouth-breathing fans directly in the game.

As we all know, smiles never disappear, they just shift.

Therefore, the smile that disappeared from Douzi's face was seamlessly transferred to Ruo Muliang who was watching the show.

That's right, looking at the crazily refreshing emotion values ​​on the panel, he also enjoyed the fun of the game.
