The Invincible Dad of Online Games

Humans are actually creatures that easily interact with each other. If the one who survived was not Yang Rui's rough nerves, but a trembling earth-eating girl, it would be difficult for Xiao Wenyuan, who was already frightened, to survive; but now the people around him are Yang Rui, who is not afraid of weird scenes and ignoring scary tricks, Xiao Wenyuan also regained his composure under the influence of Yang Rui's calm and simple and rude attitude.

"I can hear what you said to the fakes on the team channel. Judging from your conversation and action time, you should have walked a lot with those two fakes, right?" Xiao Wenyuan asked.

"Well, my physical strength is almost exhausted, and it is also because of this that I realize that 'Xiao Wenyuan' is suspicious." Yang Rui nodded.

"That's it." Xiao Wenyuan said and walked towards a certain place, raising his finger to the ground, "That place is where I stood when I first came out. At that time, I was shocked and stepped on a lot of bones... The bone carpet here is too big. Intensive, even if I stepped on some more during the action, and you stepped on a lot after you came out, you can still see that I was refreshed in the mirror world at that time."

"Hmm..." Yang Rui squinted his eyes and suddenly realized, "You broke through the mirror world with fake teammates before me, but we both appeared at one point when we refreshed to this level."

"At first, I thought this might be a copy of the scene in a beehive maze, but thinking about it... how could there be no small animals such as bugs in the beehive maze? Instead, use 'inside world' and 'table world' ' is more reasonable, for example, the real Clark Village is the real world, the Clark Village we see is the outer world, and the Bone Mountain Forest we are in now is the inner world..." Xiao Wenyuan speculated and sorted out his thoughts "But if you think about it this way, then the three of us were separated into three places, each faced two fake teammates, and were refreshed to the same coordinate point in the Bone Mountain Forest after clearing the level, which is a bit unreasonable. Coupled with the fact that 'Ghost Sally' is a mirror image NPC, it is more reasonable to classify our current situation into the multiple mirror world."

"...You seem to have said something similar just now, right?" Yang Rui listened with great difficulty.

"I did say that just now, but... to be honest, I couldn't maintain my rational calm just now. On the one hand, I was frightened by the restrictions on external communication, and on the other hand, I haven't gotten rid of the psychological pressure that this task has given me so far. " Xiao Wenyuan said calmly, "But if you solve the puzzle according to your method, ignore the tricks of the system, and just follow your own thinking... you will find out how wrong the conclusion I made under the influence of mental pressure is."

"Which aspect?" Yang Rui was curious, "Well...the Clark Village we saw?"

"The first mirror world we saw, Clark Village, really put a lot of pressure on us. In other words, this mirror world exists specifically for 'intimidation'. After the task is triggered, all the villagers who were silenced can be killed in a short time. The unknown power that silently and silently kills all the villagers... Normal people can't help feeling restless and restless after this step." Xiao Wenyuan said thoughtfully, "Of course, we are destined to be in the first mirror world. If there is no gain, if you want to continue the mission, you can only enter the forest behind Joseph's house... temporarily assume that this is the second mirror world."

"Huh?" Yang Rui couldn't hear the difference.

"The second mirror world is used to separate the three of us and each face danger; if we can't see through the fake teammates, or are tricked into triggering the instant kill FLAG, then we will hang back like a girl who eats dirt, and the mission will fail. And those who cleared the customs will be sent to the Bone Mountain Forest where we are now, which is the third mirror world." Xiao Wenyuan clapped his hands. "Leaving aside the first level of 'intimidation'...the second level of fake teammates, the only way to deal with players is to instantly kill FLAG, that is, the undead mob. I saw through this and directly shot into the battle plot, but you didn't See through...kill the undead mob directly. After that, the fake teammate will become honest and plan to delay your time...right?"

"If I'm in the 'out of strength' state, I will indeed earn money for those two..." Yang Rui's eyes changed, "Wait, if you say that, that thing is not that strong? Or it didn't face us just now strength?"

"Yes, it's the same as the adjective you used just now—pretending to be mysterious." Xiao Wenyuan snapped his fingers, "The thing that opposes task players seems to be extremely powerful, but in fact, there are not many methods for dealing with players. The mirror world that comes out also has quite a few flaws. The first layer is the most complete as a facade, but the second layer begins to have problems... This layer of world splitting started from the moment you mentioned that there were no insects and birds. Another aspect disproves our opponent's guilty conscience; then there is the instant kill FLAG, if it is not 'intimidating' the player and using fakes to do it, the undead mob can't even complete the instant kill conditions, you have already proved this. Then..." Xiao Wenyuan went to the player to stand on the refresh point of this second world, "The third world is even simpler... Look carefully, these dead trees and vines with teeth and claws are all repeated models, and the bones on the ground Although there are many, but..."

Xiao Wenyuan suddenly cast a reading spell and threw it out. The skill flew towards no one with the magical light effect, but was blocked by something in the void less than 20 meters away, and exploded in the air.

"Damn it!" Yang Rui strode over, touched the invisible barrier as soon as he raised his hand, and was shocked immediately, "This space is so small!"

"When stepping on a dead person's bone, the normal person's reaction is to quickly jump away and go to a place where there are no bones; but this layer of space directly allows players to see the bone carpet spread out endlessly, and ordinary people naturally don't go far away. I thought about it... If it was just like this, I would not have thought of this point, but thinking about it carefully, I refreshed to this double mirror world, and subconsciously came up with "If my teammates can get here, they will appear in the same place as me, If I walk away and get lost, I won't be able to meet them' this kind of thought... that is really too superfluous and too deliberate." Xiao Wenyuan clapped his hands again.

"Wait a minute, can the monsters in the game affect the player's thinking?" Yang Rui was speechless.

"It's just a hint effect in the mental attack. For example, the group fear of our priests, the players who are recruited will panic for a moment, and then quickly react, calling teammates to dispel the fear effect for themselves. I think it is probably the weakening of the will , or directly a hint of hypnotism, if I can maintain my sanity, this hint will pass by in a flash, and it will not have much effect." Xiao Wenyuan smiled.

Seeing that there was still something he didn't understand about his performance, Yang Rui was immediately amused: "In other words...the body of that thing is also in this narrow mirror world, right?"

"That's right." Xiao Wenyuan activated the Dark Priest's Berserk skill as he spoke, and read a note at a half-fallen dead tree closest to the player's refresh point.

"It's quite capable." Yang Rui kicked directly.

The dead tree that looked like a background board was really capable of attacking... The blood bars representing wood-type monsters appeared on the crown of the half of the tree that the two joined forces, and they fell slowly.

Not to mention how easy it is to attack unilaterally, Yang Rui can still talk while inflicting damage: "If you just kill him, you can get out, right?"

"It should not let the player be killed. It is estimated that the residual blood state can become a NPC that can talk to." Xiao Wenyuan remained calm.

"Please... hold... hands..." The dead tree couldn't pretend to be dead, and trembled.

"Keep fighting, the health bar hasn't turned green yet." Xiao Wenyuan ignored it, or it's okay to say that he was frightened before he remembered the grudge.

Ten seconds later, the blood bar of the dead tree turned green and turned into an invulnerable NPC state. There was another clucking sound, and the tree body slowly stood upright. Instead the name shows: "???"

The nameless tree man began to speak: "Adventurer..."

"Wait a minute, we can't communicate if you continue to be so insincere." Xiao Wenyuan interrupted it rather rudely, "First of all, you are not a tree person. Secondly, if you don't show your body again, we will destroy your double image Everything in the scene."

Yang Rui couldn't help but look at Xiao Wenyuan more, it's quite frightening for Mr. Haohao to get angry.

The nameless tree man was silent for a while, and the trunk suddenly parted left and right, and an NPC in the shape of a little girl came out, which was actually exactly the same as the female ghost Sally.

"Fuck... Is the planner of this mission a fan of Silent Hill?!" Xiao Wenyuan complained in the team channel, and said to the NPC with a straight face, "Who are you, and what is your relationship with Sally? .”

As soon as Xiao Wenyuan's voice fell... the "???" on the head of the little girl NPC changed into "Alyssa", and she stared at the little girl with straight, frightening eyes just like the female ghost Sally. Xiao Wenyuan, "...I am Sally, and Sally is me...I am Alisa."

"Do you want to say that the resentment of these two girls is similar to the two sides of light and shadow?" Yang Rui couldn't help complaining in the team, "I think they both look like the dark side."

Alisa turned to Yang Rui with blank eyes: "Don't whisper in my world, adventurers, I can hear your dirty whispers."

"..." It was said that the existence of this NPC was exposed, but when she suddenly heard such a sentence, both Yang Rui and Xiao Wenyuan felt terrified.

"Hmm... are you the only highly intelligent NPC?" Xiao Wenyuan said tentatively with a flash of inspiration, "Heroic spirit template? Advanced boss template? Or something else?"

"...What do you mean?" Yang Rui couldn't understand here either.

"The only highly intelligent NPC has an independent personality and personality calculation mode. Remember Ferdinand? That heroic spirit has its own personality." Xiao Wenyuan quickly explained, looking at Alisa with piercing eyes, "It can create a mirror world, can use Pretenders can penetrate into the player and interfere with the player's contact information to a certain extent, are you a more advanced and intelligent NPC than Sally?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about, adventurer." Alyssa replied dumbly like an ordinary NPC.

"Isn't it too late to pretend to be dull now? During the second mirror world... the pretender you controlled personally said 'interaction', a word that only players can use." Xiao Wenyuan narrowed his eyes .

Alisa still looked stiff: "I don't understand what you're talking about, adventurer."

"Well... let me put it another way." Xiao Wenyuan crossed his arms, "Since you can intercept the communication channels of players entering 'Your World', then you can also see that one of our friends is named Fifth Lin. You, who can read and interfere with player information to some extent, should be able to know that this person named Fifth Lin has been monitored by the online GM for a long time, right?"

Alisa's complexion changed.

"Now that we have broken your third mirror world, you, who interfered with the flow of this mission, must not be able to force us to stay. Then you say... After we go out, we will directly invite Fifth Lin to join this mission." What about the mission?" Xiao Wenyuan smiled.

Alisa raised her neck, and the dramatic exaggerated movements and dull micro-expressions unique to NPCs disappeared, and she said like a very ordinary, normal...and weird player: "What do you want to say."

"..." Yang Rui stared at Alisa, who has changed into a living person, with suspicious eyes. In order to prevent players from being overly addicted or being affected by the world view, whether it is an NPC or a monster, this game will deliberately Keep the characteristics of "dollification"; but now... this Alisa looks no different from a twelve- or three-year-old human girl, don't mention how weird she looks, "Wen Yuan, Wen Yuan , I admit that I have a low IQ...what's the situation now?"

"Easter eggs in the game!" Xiao Wenyuan couldn't help laughing excitedly, "You didn't read it... Oh, you really didn't read the game description. In addition to the heavyweight NPCs related to the main plot of the game, there are also some highly intelligent NPCs. All over the mainland. These high-intelligence NPCs are not necessarily very strong, but they must have certain specialties. After players find them, they can hand them over to the officials for processing and recycling according to the task requirements when they find them, or they can be hired. The system provides contract protection. .I said that the level of abnormality in this task is so high, why is there such an intelligent NPC here?"

Yang Ruitiao understood what he could understand, and immediately glared at Xiao Wenyuan: "Isn't this an illegal child laborer?"

"...Damn it." Xiao Wenyuan was shocked, "Brother! Where did you hear it?! This is the highly intelligent version of Sally's twin NPC data abnormality, a century-old female ghost level!"

"Sally's... Twin NPCs... Then you mean, the original NPC that released this mission and the NPC that made troubles are twins, right? In the end, the NPC that made troubles turned into some kind of advanced intelligence, right? It can still be conquered." Employment?" Yang Rui frowned.

"That's it, and only this explanation is reasonable, otherwise, how could the mission in a small village be so weird?" Xiao Wenyuan snapped his fingers, "Okay, Alisa, we are willing to give up the mission, but you must obey us The command……"

"Impossible." Alyssa flatly refused.

"..." Xiao Wenyuan paused, his face changed slightly, "Don't think that if you use a little girl look, we will ignore the reality that you are just an NPC..."

"Wenyuan, Wenyuan, your character design is about to collapse..." Yang Rui couldn't stand it.

"I can't leave here." Alyssa said with a blank expression, "I'm not the final... In your words, the final BOSS. The meaning of my existence is to destroy everyone who has come into contact with Sally."

Yang Rui looked puzzled, but Xiao Wenyuan became more cautious, "...are you just a gatekeeper?"

"You can understand it this way, adventurer. Our world is different from yours. Low-level NPCs with advanced intelligence are just low-level NPCs. Programmed high-ranking people can easily make us surrender." Alisa said calmly, "Would you like Mistaking me for the highest-ranking villain in the incident entrusted by Sally, I can't change your mind. However, even if you let me enter the destruction process, it is impossible for me to leave this forest."

As soon as Alisa finished speaking, the blood-red sky, bones everywhere, and hideous dead trees and vines dissipated like a breeze, but what appeared before the two of them was not the gloomy and silent mountain forest before, but the singing of birds and flowers, the sky high and the clouds light. , Spots of sunlight through the warm woods lazily under the canopy.

Returning from the mirror world to the real game world, Yang Rui and Xiao Wenyuan were not used to it for a while; they both looked left and right, and tried to chat with their friends privately, and comforted the crying eater in the team channel It was only later that she realized that there was a highly intelligent NPC with a dark belly and loli appearance to deal with.

But... It's a bit scary to see Alisa in the bright world... Her appearance in the real game world is actually a child's skeleton, with some hairs scattered on her scalp, and a wide cloak on her body. Big tattered linen gown.

"You got what you wanted." Alyssa's skeleton pointed the bone finger at Xiao Wenyuan, "As a reward... I can give you some clues about the events you will face next. If you want to get me, take the risk Or, find a way to get me out of this accursed land. If you can do it, I will not be stingy with loyalty."

This special NPC quickly left a few words and disappeared without a trace. There was also a change in the task interface of the two: "I got Alisa's kindness."

Yang Rui didn't study any task changes, but just watched Xiao Wenyuan silently.

"...I'm definitely not a lolicon." Xiao Wenyuan raised his hands with a serious face, "I swear I prefer older people of the opposite sex...Really, don't look at me like that, bro, people scare people to death. And In my opinion...the one who claims to only like minors is not a cripple who lacks sexual characteristics, or a waste who can only feel inferior when facing adult women... This kind of Luthor can only find self-esteem in children, so he keeps calling himself a gentleman. You See, I don't need that."

"Hold your nerves... If I think you're a pervert, I've already done it." Yang Rui said flatly, "I just thought... When you recognized Alisa from the tree trunk just now, I thought the mission could be over. ..."

"Only humanoid and humanoid NPCs can unleash mental attacks, tree people can't be designated, this is a flaw." Xiao Wenyuan heaved a sigh of relief, "Who would have thought that the gatekeeper in the first level of the mission would actually have this player in the applause? As for the strength, I didn't expect it either."

Yang Rui bared his teeth, "I used to think that the job transfer task I did was crazy enough, but now I don't think so anymore... Let's go to Joseph's house and see?"

"Go ahead, you have to try to see if Louise's skull can react there." Xiao Wenyuan took the lead and left.

"I'm completely confused about what you just said. What's the use of hiring advanced intelligent NPCs?"

"Ha, it's definitely useful. It's like a 24-hour online game steward. Brother Wu will be happier if he sees it... But if Brother Wu encounters this kind of NPC, he might just give it back to the online GM." Xiao Wenyuan smiled.

"Wait, wait, take it back to the GM? This kind of NPC is a bug? Don't you say it's an easter egg?" Yang Rui was puzzled.

"Recovering the online GM immediately is a BUG, ​​and capturing it for the players is a game easter egg. If the official can't do this level of shamelessness, how can it convince the players." Xiao Wenyuan didn't care.

Yang Rui's complexion changed slightly: "Then if such an NPC randomly changes the mission process and intensity in some large-scale mission and kills a large number of players, the official can brazenly call it an easter egg, but the players can't crack it?"

Xiao Wenyuan nodded again and again: "I understand very quickly, thumbs up!"

"...Very well, I can understand the players' love for the game planning. Emotion is the highest degree of freedom they claim." Yang Rui said with an ugly face.

"A high degree of freedom means that the task deduction process is highly fault-tolerant. If Alisa is not an advanced intelligent NPC, then we may only see the 'killed' Joseph, wife and children when we come to Clark Village. Beat us with a few batches of monsters, and then let us find some point to solve the puzzle, and find Louise’s skull in a pile of white bones.” Xiao Wenyuan, who is used to official shamelessness, is fine, “Now... It was indeed frightening enough that the earth-eating girl died and went back, but we also got an unexpected harvest, which is the "Alisa's kindness"; at the same time, we can already determine one of the rewards: get the high-level Smart NPC."

"... Just listening to you, I feel my brain hurt..." Yang Rui's eyes died.

"It's good to get used to it...so I don't like to do the tasks of "The Second Continent". Every time I challenge these tasks, it takes ten days and a half months to recover mentally." Xiao Wenyuan smiled wryly. Today...although I'm sorry to say, but I was so scared that the system almost made the system judge that my heart was beating fast and kicked me offline, "It's good now, the rewards are confirmed, but it also means that the next level will be more difficult... Huh? Huh, that seems to be Fifth Brother?"

Xiao Wenyuan pointed to the vague figures outside the forest in surprise, one of them was a tall and thin man surrounded by Wu Lin, wasn't he?
