The Trial Game of Life

Magic is a subject that is neither difficult nor easy. Tang Cuo closed his eyes and followed the "Moonlight Meditation Method" taught in the book to successfully perceive the magic elements surrounding the world.

Different from the natural awakening of supernatural beings, magicians pay attention to elemental affinity.There are so many departments of magic, which department has a higher affinity with the mage himself, it will be easier to be absorbed, and the spells of that department will be released faster.

Tang Cuo sensed it and found that the magic elements around him were quite cold.If the magic elements had expressions, then their expressions should be exactly the same as Tang Cuo's, that is - no expressions.

Magical elements are absorbed into the body and turned into magic power.

Ten minutes later, Tang Cuo sensed the almost equal amount of various elements in his body, and continued to remain expressionless.His bonus points are all added to the force value, and his intelligence is zero. Even with the original foundation, there is not much magic power that can be stored. If it is divided equally, it is unknown whether each department is enough to cast a spell.

This step is complete, and there are spells.

The incantations were awkward and awkward, and the simple entry-level incantation sentences were very short, only a few syllables, but as soon as Tang Cuo opened his mouth, the magic power in his body began to surge, and there was a little tingling in his mind.

His face remained unchanged, and he tried a few more times, finishing a spell of fireball intermittently.

After the words fell, a small fireball appeared in front of him, jumping and shaking a few times. A "boo" sound appeared, and then a "boo" sound disappeared.

Tang Cuo was expressionless, looking down at the staff in his hand.

This wand is the walnut one that Jin Cheng used in the magic house.His fireball disappeared so quickly, it must be because of the poor staff.

So he congealed another fireball, and this time he saw clearly that his magic element was not active at all, passive and lazy, and immediately went on strike.

Hearing the voice, Jin Cheng raised his head from the book, meeting his eyes.Tang Cuo looked at him quietly, wanting to see what the instructor could say again.

Jin Cheng said, "This fireball of yours is quite bright."

Tang Cuo: "..."

When Jin Cheng finally understood Tang Cuo's problems, he didn't say much, but said, "You are indeed suitable for melee combat."

Tang Cuo narrowed his eyes, "Are you laughing in your heart?"

Jin Cheng: "Do you know what crime it is to slander the instructor?"

Tang Cuo: "Eternal Night City does not have this crime."

Tsk, the little bastard is getting harder and harder to fool.

Jin Cheng closed the book and said, "Haven't you read fantasy novels before? The hero is just like you. He is a mage and cannot specialize. Everyone thinks he is a waste, laughs at him, and insults him, but the result is a bloody counterattack." , from then on to the pinnacle of life.”

Tang Cuo: "..."

Jin Cheng didn't say that there was a saying in Eternal Night City against these mages and supernatural beings of all departments - one operation is as fierce as a tiger, and it is all paper when viewed closely.

Tang Cuo believes in his nonsense about reaching the pinnacle of life, so there is a ghost.But he didn't intend to be a magician in the first place, so he can't say he was disappointed.

"Did you find the bookmark?" he asked.

"Not yet, but I have seen Lancelot's name on many borrowing cards." Jin Cheng took out one of the cards, and threw it to Tang Cuo between his fingers.

Tang Cuo caught it, scanned the name on it, turned to the back, and found a line of words.

[When I grow up, I will definitely find the most beautiful flower in the world and bring it back to the Moon Hidden Kingdom. 】

This handwriting is exactly the same as Lancelot's signature, and it seems to be relatively old. It should be written by him when he was studying here.Has the bard Lancelot's wish finally come true?

Tang Cuo couldn't help looking out the window, the white roses were in full bloom under the moonlight.

Lancelot's message on the borrowing card is still not sure whether it is useful or not, Jin Cheng quickly flipped through the rest of the books, and finally found Eve's bookmark.

It is sandwiched in a travel book, and it is also written on the bookmark.

[If you want to be a great adventurer, you must be brave, Eve. 】

The small characters that are not neatly arranged, the handwriting is also crooked, and there are typos.This seems to be written by Eve to herself, or it may be something she hides in her heart, which she has never said to others.

A child born in the desert yearns for a vast continent and wants to be an adventurer.It is precisely because of this that the bookmark will be sandwiched in a travel note.

While Jin Cheng was looking for bookmarks, Tang Cuo also learned the few remaining entry-level spells in the book, namely light, water polo, wind blade, lightning, and ground motion.The other series of magic seemed not very suitable for beginners, and they were not very practical, so Tang Cuo put it down first.

Regrettably, they still haven't found a map of the Moon Hidden Kingdom, and they can't confirm the location of the Well of Time.

After leaving the school, the two walked and found themselves walking back to the tower in the west of the city.It was about one or two o'clock in the morning, and the moon was hanging high in the sky. Jin Cheng lit the lamp in front of the tower, and walked up again.

The tower in the west of the city is the highest point of the Moon Hidden Kingdom, and it has the best view of the entire Moon Hidden Kingdom.

Under the cold moonlight, the sky and the earth became quiet, and the vast yellow sand completely turned into a sea.There are countless pure white flowers blooming on the isolated island in the sea, dotted with fireflies in the flowers.

These fireflies are not all warm white, they have dreamy colors like colored glass, and together with the gentle evening breeze, they are intertwined into a colorful dream.

In front of such a beautiful scenery, even Jin Cheng became a pure and elegant viewer.Holding the glazed lamp rewarded by the task, he nimbly climbed to the top of the tower, stood on the sloping tiles, held the tall tower tip with one hand and looked up into the distance.

"Look, when all the lights are on, it looks like a flower." He said, his voice was melodiously blown by the evening wind, with a hint of joy and satisfaction.

No matter what kind of environment he is in, he can always find some leisure, such as lighting up the lights of the whole city.

The city of the hidden moon country is circular, and its streets do not go straight, but have a certain arc.It is not so obvious during the day, but now that the lights along the street are on, you will find that these streets are connected together, just like a blooming flower.

In the mission of Blind Billy, it is said that the previous king told his people: "When the lights are on, the colorful glass blooms like flowers, and my people don't have to watch the wind and sand all day long."

That's true.

"Bang!" Suddenly, there was a sound above his head.Tang Cuo looked up, and saw a stream of light rising up into the night sky, crossing the curved moon hook, and a firework bloomed in the starry night.

Tang Cuo was startled, then asked, "Fireworks for the Huachao Festival?"

The side mission "Mr. Tork's Toys", his toy box contains a lot of weird toys to make children happy, and there are also various fireworks prepared for the Flower Festival.

Jin Cheng lit another firework stick and said, "Since today is the Flower Festival, it would be a pity not to let off fireworks."

Tang Cuo declined to comment.Although there are various indications that the time in the city has stopped on the day of the Huachao Festival, it does not mean that today is the Huachao Festival.When the two travelers from a foreign land broke into this place, perhaps hundreds of years had passed since that Flower Festival.But Tang Cuo wasn't always such a spoiler, so he didn't say anything, just watched quietly.

He remembered the side missions one by one.

The beautiful Cecilia who has a crush on Lancelot; Aunt Anna who is working hard to send her son to school; the blind Billy who still yearns for the light; Eve and Little Jack who have dreams, etc.Although no one has seen them, there are traces of their existence everywhere.

How many side missions like this are hidden in the hidden moon kingdom?

"Aren't you coming up?" Jin Cheng poked his head out from above.

"Why should I go up?" Tang Cuo asked.

"There are still two fireworks, why don't you come and set them off? Maybe this is the key to triggering the mission."

"Oh."

I believe in you.

Tang Cuo didn't believe it, but after a few minutes, he still climbed to the top of the tower, sat side by side with Jin Cheng, and set off fireworks.Jin Cheng hung the glazed lantern on the top of the tower, and as the evening wind swayed gently, the light and shadow swayed accordingly, blurring and dreaming.

With beautiful fireworks above his head and dim shadows of lights around him, Tang Cuo was silent, and he caught a glimpse of Jin Cheng's side face from the corner of his eye. He didn't quite understand why he was so good at it, why he was still single despite his age.

When Jin Cheng died, he was 32 years old.

When Tang Cuo was in the barracks, he often heard people say that so-and-so had a crush on the instructor, and some officer wanted to be a matchmaker for him.Jin Cheng had a good background, a high degree of education, good looks, and a bright future, so he also felt that one day he would marry an equally outstanding person.

Who would have thought that this person died suddenly, at the age of 32, leaving nothing behind.

"I remember I said it the day we met." Jin Cheng tilted his head with his chin propped up, and said with a smile, "If you look at me like this, it's easy to make me have some vulgar associations."

Shut up, straight man, you've got to be flirty.

Tang Cuo decided to cure him, so he was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly said: "I like you."

Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows, he really didn't expect it, so that he froze there.Clinker Tang Cuo gasped, and added expressionlessly: "The points."

Jin Cheng laughed angrily, put the last firework stick into Tang Cuo's arms, and said, "Go easy, I won't give you any."

Tang Cuo was not surprised, so he lit the fireworks stick casually.In the hazy light and shadow, no one saw that the corner of his mouth raised a slight arc, and then quickly put it down.

"Bang!" The fireworks bloomed again, and both of them looked up. It was really beautiful.

At the same time, the prison in District G of Eternal Night City.

Because of the series of turmoil in Block F, the occupancy rate of the prison, where at least half of the cells are usually vacant, has risen to more than 80%.The person in this room meets the person in that room, most likely they are old acquaintances.

And because the prison rooms are not divided according to the area the player belongs to, so the elites in Area A are mixed with the garbage they call Area F, living in the same room and eating the same food, who is more noble than the other? .

Jiang He and Chen Liu, both members of Tianzhi, were assigned to the next door. In the same area, there were great magician Leng Miao and two familiar players from Area A.As for Chong Yanzhang and the puppet master Yao Qing, they were placed a little further away.

Players from Area F and other areas mixed in with this group of big bosses, and all of them huddled in corners and wished they could become invisible.However, District G is all single-person cells, and the bosses have gloomy faces, and they have no intention of doing anything.

Jiang He's room was at the end of the corridor, with the wall on the right and Chen Liu on the left.Leng Miao was diagonally opposite him, and in the cell directly opposite him lived a barefooted little girl.

The little girl was lying on the ground with her back to them the whole time, her body curled up, and she was wearing a funny green dinosaur hat on her head, which seemed to be torn from some clothes.

Jiang He kept looking at her, because the little girl hadn't moved since she came in, and there were dark, dried blood stains all over her clothes.After looking at it for a long time, he realized that it was a hospital gown.

Chen Liu kept talking nonsense, making Jiang He want to kill someone.

"Jiang He, to be honest, did you see Jin Cheng's plot early on? You did it on purpose, right?"

"Did you dislike me a long time ago, and deliberately concealed it in order to fight against me, so that I would make a big fall. In this way, I-"

Jiang He finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a deep voice, "You deserve it too?"

Chen Liu stood up anxiously, he couldn't see Jiang He through the wall, but this didn't prevent him from pouring out his anger, "Jiang He, don't think I don't know what you're planning. Don't you just want to be the second in command? You You don't even weigh your own qualifications, you joined halfway, what qualifications do you have to compete with me?"

Hearing this, Jiang He closed his eyes and suddenly lost the idea of ​​reasoning with him.

Chen Liu was aggressive, "Why didn't you answer? Are you guilty? Heh, let me tell you, Jiang He, if I'm around for a day, you won't be able to play tricks! Do you think you're the only one who is smart? Didn't you get tricked by Jin Cheng?" Gotta go around—”

Before he finished speaking, a magical attack suddenly struck from the opposite cell, passed through the iron railing, and hit Chen Liu's arm torn apart.Chen Liu dodged in a hurry, piercing his angry eyes towards the opposite side, but when he touched Leng Miao's face, he forcibly held back.

"It's so noisy." Leng Miao looked cold.

Chen Liu dropped his arms and stopped talking. Chong Yanzhang was not here, so he didn't dare to confront Leng Miao head-on.

Leng Miao also didn't want to talk to this fool, he glanced at Jiang He who looked like an old monk in meditation from the corner of his eye, feeling extremely irritable.This irritability was not aimed at Jiang He, but at Jin Cheng of course.Just now, Chen Liu mentioned Jin Cheng again, which made him lose his composure.

The smell in the prison was bad, and the smell of blood from the next door had probably been lingering for several days, and it was so strong that it was disgusting.

Leng Miao didn't want to bear it anymore, raised his hand and an air cage sealed the next door.With this air cage, he finally felt a little more comfortable, regardless of whether it was psychological self-comfort or not.

After a while, Jiang He suddenly looked over and said, "If you're like this, the people inside will die from lack of oxygen."

Leng Miao sneered: "You pity her?"

Jiang He: "I think the great magician Leng Miao, even though he wants to get the twelve movements, is not someone who just kills players for fun."

"Tianzhi poisoned Area F, how many people were sent in, you talk to me about this?"

"Poisoning is just to put them in jail. Killing people here is really killing people."

Jiang He's tone was calm, as if he was just telling Uncle Chen a fact.

Chen Liu's arms trembled with pain, and when he heard his words, his teeth itch with hatred.He hated Jiang He the most, as if he was neither humble nor overbearing in front of anyone, and Chong Yanzhang also said that he had the air of a general.This time when he attacked Jin Cheng, Chen Liu proposed to use BS101, and Jiang He was the first to object.

They're all old players in District A, who doesn't know who, pretending to be a moral guard, hypocritical and disgusting.

Chen Liu only hoped that Leng Miao would also hate such a hypocritical person. This person's temper is notoriously cold, and few people can please him.

But Leng Miao took a deep look at Jiang He, and actually removed the air cage.Jiang He nodded to him, and the two sides did not speak again.

Chen Liu fell on his back in anger, his face turned green and pale, but he didn't dare to question Leng Miao.He turned to look at the little girl angrily, and saw that she suddenly coughed convulsively, and soon became silent again.

"Dinglingling——" a rush of electric bells suddenly sounded.

Chen Liu's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately forgot about the little girl, because - the electric bell rang, and the warden was about to go on patrol.

The nightmare that belonged to the prison in District G of Eternal Night City came again.
