Abyss game

The two gasped at the same time.

On reflection, this seems to be the only reasonable explanation.

Shu Ai couldn't help touching her right upper arm, her silver ice device was hidden under her sleeve.

Qiao Jingting also touched the cold silver metal, and laughed at himself: "So, I'm lucky, this thing just happens to be on my wrist."

"In fact, when everyone first came, it was on the right wrist. It can move and deform."

"Move? Transform?"

Shuai nodded: "Its material is very special. Have you seen "Terminator"? It is similar to the liquid metal in it, but it has more functions. You can change its shape and position at will by spending a few points. But it can't leave your body. I've seen someone turn it into a dagger integrated with their hands. In fact, I think it's more like a bomb around our necks. As long as it's there, no one can escape. control of the system."

"But as long as it is cut off with its limbs, the connection with the system can be severed."

"Then he became a living dead, and his consciousness went to a void space." Shuai shook his head, "I know what you are thinking, but I think it is impossible to find an entry point here and escape from the game."

Qiao Jingting covered his painful spleen and stomach, and said lightly, "Then follow the rules of the game and become a 'Zun'... What is the level of 'Zun'?"

Shu Ai smiled wryly: "The level of the Abyss game is determined by referring to the cards. Levels 2 to 10 are ordinary levels, and those above are 'attendees'."

"'audiences'?"

"4 Jack (General), 4 Queen (Rear), 4 King (King), 4 Ace (Respect), 1 BlackJoker (Black Devil), 1 RedJoker (Red Devil), they are collectively referred to as' audiences'."

Qiao Jingting's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Zheng Wei, who is only level 5, has already made him feel that his physical fitness is not human, so what kind of strength will those people who level up further have?

Shuai saw through his mind: "It's scary. The highest level in the game is a King, the only king, and it's been a long time. Without a second one, he will never be able to become an Ace."

Qiao Jingting shook his head, he didn't feel the slightest fear, he only felt excitement, which man doesn't dream of possessing the power of gods and ghosts that can turn clouds and rain? !

Shu Ai stood up: "I can take you back to my place, you can't live in the wild for a few days in your current condition."

Joe nodded in shock.

Shu Ai looked him up and down, and his tone suddenly became cold: "Although you don't look like a bad person, I warn you not to think about it. If I don't kill you, I can break your limbs and throw you to the fat man."

Qiao Jingting raised his eyebrows, then smiled.He could understand Shuai's vigilance. After all, Shuai was worth 2000 points to him. It was not easy for a girl to struggle to survive alone in such a world.

Shu Ai became a little annoyed: "What are you laughing at?"

"Those who helped me, I will pay back ten times, and those who harmed me, I will also pay back ten times." Qiao Jingting said with a smile, "If you are really worried, go back by yourself. I will never break my promise."

Shuai looked at him hesitantly for a while, "...Come with me."

Qiao Jingting supported the tree trunk with his hands and stood up little by little. He gritted his teeth and said in a weak voice, "Let's go."

"can you?"

"fine."

"I won't let you get within two meters of me, don't expect me to help you."

"Need not."

After returning to the village, Qiao Jingting saw someone standing outside and wanted to go around.

"It's okay, those are NPCs."

"How do you judge?" Those people can't be real people, can they?Can robots be exactly like humans?

"Look at the top of their heads. Those with yellow names are NPCs, and those with green names are players."

Qiao Jingting thought about the name in his heart, and looked over, and sure enough, a very popular name appeared above the head of an NPC.He looked at Shuai again, and a green name appeared above Shuai's head, with a level of 4 next to it.

Shuai took him into a private house.The size of the house is not small, the decoration is quite elegant, clean and tidy, but there is nothing, it is empty.

"I rented this house. The house in Xinshou Village has the function of protecting newbies. Only with my permission, others can enter my house. You can only be safe here."

Qiao Jingting slowly slumped on the bed in the guest room, not wanting to move any more. Walking this distance would be fatal.

Shu Ai looked at his painful look, pursed her lips, and explained: "One healing scroll with 80 points, I can afford that one."

"You have no obligation to help me. It's good enough for me to have a place to recuperate."

Shuai nodded: "You can rest." She turned off the light and planned to leave.

Qiao Jingting thought of something, and asked, "Is it possible to check a person's status as long as they have a name?"

Shu Ai paused: "All these functions require points to be activated. You don't need to waste points now. Who do you want to check? I can help you."

Qiao Jingting hesitated for a moment, "... Qiao Ruidu, Ruixue's Rui, Ducheng's."

Shu Ai was silent for a few seconds: "Qiao Ruidu, level 2, was born in Bi Yuewu, a novice village in the West White Tiger Continent."

Qiao Jingting's cheeks were puffed up, his eyes were fixed on the plain ceiling, his brows were slightly frowned, and the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile.

Sure enough, Jory also came in.

"He's yours..." Shu Ai hesitated to speak when he saw that Qiao Ting's face was strange.

Qiao Jingting waved his hand: "Good night."

When I woke up, it was already dusk.

Qiao Jingting looked at the unfamiliar ceiling and was stunned for a few seconds before the memory came back from his confused brain.

The first thought that came to him was——what happened to grandma.

He sighed, and covered his eyes with the back of his hand, feeling the severe pain all over his body, which couldn't bear the pain in his heart.His mother hardly stayed home, and his grandma single-handedly brought him up. He fought and made troubles since he was a child, and never let the old lady worry about it. He finally grew up and became sensible enough to be filial to her, but in the end...

There are still tens of thousands of dollars saved in the hospital. If he is not here, relatives will help take care of him, but what if the money runs out?

How long will it take him to leave here? Can grandma wait until he returns?He didn't know, he didn't even know how many days he would live.

He gritted his teeth and got out of bed, swallowed a few pills with water, and ate something.

Suddenly there were some human voices outside the window, Qiao Jingting quickly squatted down, touched the window quietly, and looked out through the gap in the curtains.

A group of people were laughing loudly and walking past the house, telling obscene and obscene jokes, it was Fatty and others.

Qiao Jingting's eyes were full of cold killing intent. He remembered the faces of these people, and now he also remembered their names. He wanted to erase these names one by one.

He tightened the curtains, sat back on the bed, thinking about the healing scroll, thinking about the squirrel with 3 points each, he was a little restless, but Shuai didn't come back, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he simply took advantage of this time , entered the player platform again, he wanted to understand all the rules of the game as soon as possible.

It was still a familiar scene, the twins also sat in the chairs obediently, but changed their clothes.

Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "Player, do you need help?"

"A healing scroll is needed." Qiao Jingting said angrily.

"But you can't afford it."

"Then shut up."

Xiaoyuan shrugged and played with his shoelaces.

Qiao Jingting's eyes moved on the platform interface, whichever he wanted to see, he thought about it, and he could automatically select a certain menu.

He casually clicked on the weapon column. Weapons are divided into cold weapons, hot weapons, concealed weapons, large weapons and magic weapons. He curiously opened magic weapons, and there are several sub-menus, such as magic attribute weapons, infinite energy weapons, Soul weapon, divine weapon, etc.Qiao Jingting was confused. He went back to look at the hot weapons. There were modern weapons, future weapons, and super weapons. He opened the option of future weapons, and he saw an air-compressed shoulder-mounted rocket launcher. The explanation for this thing It can cause large-scale damage without shells, and the price is 1200 points.

Looking back, it becomes even more mysterious. What is the far-infrared automatic aiming quick-freezing pistol, the explanation is that it can automatically obtain a heat source to fire frozen bullets, and the price is 400 points.There are also heat source tracking net guns, sticky shotguns, and four-dimensional collapse grenades, which are 600, 400, and 6200 points respectively.

There are also many surreal weapons that I don’t know what they mean after reading the explanations. Qiao Jingting was dazzled by seeing them. He quit and searched for other things casually. The more he looked, the more confused he became.

Xiaoshen said coldly: "If you want to read all the things on the platform, it will take 16 days if you browse around without sleep and rest."

Qiao Jingting closed the weapon page and returned to the main interface: "Every time I enter the platform, do I have to see you?"

"If you open it outside, you don't need it." Xiaoyuan shrugged. "That is a simplified version of the platform, which is more directional, but you will have a lot of things to consult us. Many players like to come in when they pick their lunch."

Qiao Jingting rolled his eyes: "I will try to come in as little as possible."

"Why, do you have any opinion on us?" Xiaoyuan blinked, "Remind you, the system elves have a favorability score, the higher the favorability we have with you, the more likely we will give you some surprises. "

"for example?"

"Of course I can't tell you the surprise." Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "If you often chat with us, praise us, and buy us clothes and snacks, you can increase your favorability."

"No need." Qiao Jingting heard the sound of the door opening, and he exited the platform.

Shu Ai was closing the door, Qiao Jingting glanced out the window, it was really dark.

"You're awake, are you feeling better?"

"It's okay." Qiao said in shock. The pain might be numb to the extreme. At least he can still breathe if he doesn't move now. "Can you take me to the monster spot tonight?"

"I just came back from there." Shuai poured herself a glass of water with a tired face. She raised her neck and drank it all in one gulp. Seriously, "You will really help me kill Han Bin."

"Definitely." Qiao Jingting said without hesitation.

Shu Ai bit her lip: "I earned 24 points today. If it wasn't for Han Bin's people, I could kill some more. I'll take you to the squirrel in the middle of the night. The two of us cooperate, up to two In one night, you can earn 80."

"Are those robot mice powerful? Generally, low-level monster spawn points should protect players." Qiao Jingting added, "Most online games are like this."

"Yes. Many of the spawning points outside Xinyue Fox are passive aggressive. You will only be attacked when you are within one meter of them, and they will stop attacking when you are far away from the strange area. Usually , A player who has not been strengthened at all can kill one or two monsters a day just by sneak attacking and grinding repeatedly." Shuai looked at him, "Maybe it can be faster with you."

"What about a frontal attack?"

"Front-on attack, those who haven't been strengthened are unlikely to kill the squirrel." Shuai shook his head, "Actually, I've calculated that if it wasn't for Han Bin to grab our points, a level 3 one, all the points would be used to strengthen yourself Player, killing squirrels is not difficult at all."

"We will take back the points they stole." Qiao Jingting said clearly.

At three o'clock in the middle of the night, the two went out.

Qiao Jingting spent 10 points to buy a stainless steel long knife. From his initial 20 points, only a pitiful 5 were left.Before he left, he swallowed a lot of painkillers, otherwise he would not be able to lift a knife.

The squirrels were less than a kilometer outside the village, and they arrived in no time.

Under the faint moonlight, one can vaguely see black shadows not far away, with small heads and big bodies, and long tails, standing motionless like zombies. Some creepy.

The two approached slowly.

Big gray-haired mice appeared in sight, and each of them was as tall as a person.After seeing it clearly, Qiao Jingting confirmed that it was these squirrels that he encountered in that empty space.

Shu Ai understood from his eyes, and became more puzzled just like him.

The two kept a safe distance of at least one meter, but they did not respond.

Shu Ai said: "We all attack from behind, cut off its legs first, and then find an opportunity to cut off its head or heart. If it doesn't succeed once, run away and turn back and try again."

"This method is really inefficient."

Shu Ai said dissatisfiedly: "Your efficiency will be lower, you can watch my demonstration first." She said, and slashed at the squirrel's right leg with a knife.

The squirrel's program started instantly, its eyes glowed green, and it turned around with a paw. The reaction speed was really not slow.Shu Ai has obviously practiced perfectly, he dodged the claw with a low body, the blade slashed obliquely, hit the squirrel's inner thigh, and then jumped to the right rear of the squirrel, the squirrel chased up with its lame leg, scratching and biting.

Qiao Jingting felt that the way of the attack was very familiar, so he remembered that he was scratched and bitten by the squirrel face to face and at close range several hundred times in that empty space.

He has fought underground black boxing for four or five years. From the beginning of fighting with some local hooligans, he was given 80 yuan for winning a fight, to standing in a professional fighting ring, and getting five or six figures in the account. He has not accepted any of them. The little ruffian who was trained formally survived in the dark fighting arena, relying on his natural keen observation skills and his fearlessness of death.Observing the opponent's attacking style is a life-saving skill. During the scratching and biting, he had vaguely figured out the attack pattern of the squirrel. After all, this thing is just a machine with a programmed program, far inferior to a human. Sly and changeable.

Shuai dodged flexibly, resisting the squirrel's claws and teeth. Although his movements were not systematic, basically dodging and slashing, he was fast and explosive. He cut one of the squirrel's arms in a short while and grabbed There was a flaw, and a knife pierced into the heart.

The squirrel's body trembled and fell to the ground with a bang.

Shu Ai took a breath: "Did you see it? If the two of us cooperate, it will be much faster."

"I want to try it alone." Joe said in shock.

Shu Ai frowned: "Are you too confident in yourself? Your injury hasn't healed yet, and it hasn't been strengthened at all. You probably haven't even used a long knife before."

Qiao Jingting ignored her, picked up the knife and walked towards the nearest squirrel.He stood in front of the squirrel, swung the knife and slashed at its heart.

The squirrel's eyes flashed green immediately, and its paws swung towards him.

That's it, first the left claw, then the right claw, the interval is less than a second, the height is about 1.6 meters and 1.4 meters, and then there will be seven claw attacks and a snapping bite, and then the claws, but the snapping frequency Increase, how many times... In short, after a fierce bite, the above process will be repeated.

Qiao Jingting retreated while attacking. Although he failed to hurt the squirrel, he dodged every attack of it.

Shuai watched in surprise.

Qiao Jingting just let the squirrel attack for three or four minutes. He couldn't bear it anymore. His face was covered with sweat, his face was pale, and the painkillers were no longer working. Finally, he figured out the squirrel's attack pattern. Grabbing a neutral position, he stabbed it in the heart with a knife.

Shu Ai stared straight at her eyes, apparently in disbelief.

Qiao Ting sat down on the ground in shock, gasping for breath, when a row of small fluorescent characters suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

"Congratulations to player Joe Jingting for killing the squirrel and getting 3 points. It is the first time you get points in the game, unlock the achievement 'Blessing of Sprouts', and give 20 points."

Qiao Jingting blinked: "'Success'?"

"Well, there are various achievements in the game, which need to meet specific conditions." Shuai came over and squatted beside him, "You seem to know how the squirrel attacks, and you dodged every attack? I am an actual combatant." It took a long time to escape."

"I was scratched and bitten by it for a long time in that empty space, because we couldn't touch each other, so I stood in front of it and let it scratch and bite. I could see very clearly how it attacked."

"I see." Shuai nodded, "It seems that the void space has helped you a lot. If you can kill the squirrel at this speed, you can buy the healing scroll tonight."

Qiao Jingting's face was already blue from the pain, he gasped and said, "I can't do it anymore, but I can guide you to deal with it head-on, which is guaranteed to be several times faster than your method."

Shu Ai's eyes flashed, obviously eager to try.

"Go."

Shuai picked up the knife and ran towards a squirrel.

The names of several settings in the game, such as scrolls, tree of life, runestones, etc., are taken from the only online game I played when I was a child - "Shadowbane", which is a very early game It's gone, but it's really a great online game, a work of conscience back then.Since then, I haven't played online games again, mainly because I have poor self-control and I am addicted to everything I play, so I have to stay away from it.

I would like to take this as a commemoration of it~
