Pendulum Rider

"The initial stage mainly tests your physical strength and energy, as well as the intercommunication between you and the pendulum." Xianbei explained, and pressed the button to select the training difficulty level for Lin Xiwu, "You have chosen the initial stage for me. Scholar difficulty, as for the training scene, you can pick any one you like."

Therefore, Lin Xiwu slid his fingers on the display screen floating in mid-air a few times. The touch of his fingertips felt as if he had touched a warm crystal. While sliding the screen, he read out the names of each training scene aloud .

"Munich Street Venue, African Savannah Venue, Great Wall Venue, Water Curtain Cave Venue, Under Huangpu River Venue, Pyramid Venue, Cemetery Venue, Food Maze Venue, Cosmic Vacuum Venue, Two-dimensional Venue, Shemale Paradise Venue, Is a Man Just the venue of ×××... the names of the venues behind this are getting more and more strange."

"You can choose one at random, and you can choose a different one every time."

"Then it's a food venue."

"But that's a gourmet maze, is it okay for you to be an idiot?"

"Anyway, I have Venus, so I don't have to worry about getting lost anymore." Lin Xiwu said, sliding to the food maze option in front, and decisively pressing the confirmation button.

After the option was uploaded, the place where Lin Xiwu was located turned into a food street in the blink of an eye. Apart from herself, Xianbei and Mr. Luo, many people suddenly appeared around the three of them.

"It's amazing, are these NPC characters made by the pendulum? It feels like a holographic online game."

"They are not NPCs, they are novices who chose the same scene next door." Xianbei has become the commentator, "You can exchange all kinds of things you need on this street, and the entrance to the maze is in front of it."

Before Xianbei could finish explaining, Lin Xiwu ran to a nearby shop and asked the clerk, "Uncle, can I drink this milk tea?"

"This is not milk tea, it's healing medicine."

"I don't read much, so don't lie to me. This is clearly packed in a milk tea paper cup. Aren't the recovery medicines in the game all bottled?"

"Because this scene is a gourmet maze, the recovery medicines are all packed in this kind of cup."

"tasty?"

"This is not for drinking. When you recover your energy, just pour it off your head."

"Why is there such a perverted recovery medicine, give me two cups."

"I think you are still a rookie, little brother. You have to complete the courses first, and get the points of each training class before you can go to the food street to exchange recovery medicines. But if you are lucky, you can find recovery items directly in the maze."

"Don't dawdle, I don't have that much time to train with you." Xianbei couldn't stand it anymore, he just grabbed Lin Xiwu by the collar and left.Lin Xiwu turned her head and shouted to the uncle who was getting further and further away: "Uncle, are you an NPC who sells healing medicine?"

"What NPC, I'm the coach in charge of this scene."

"So it's the old driver, we'll see you later." As the distance between them grew, Lin Xiwu also raised her voice.

Lin Xiwu walked along the food street for a while, and was finally brought to the entrance of the maze. There were all kinds of candies inlaid on the gate of the maze, which shone like gems in the eyes of foodies.

Lin Xiwu was pushed into the maze by Xianbei before he finished observing. Before entering the maze, he smelled the smell of food coming out of the maze. This place is simply a paradise for foodies.

Lin Xiwu walked in front, and Xianbei and Mr. Luo followed behind. Even if Lin Xiwu went the wrong way, they all kept silent. Not long after Lin Xiwu left, she ran into obstacles everywhere, and one of them was a dead end. Holding a silver treasure box, the size of which was similar to that of her mother's dressing box, Lin Xiwu was just wondering if she had picked up a prop, and opened it excitedly without thinking too much.

In the end, what was in the treasure box was not a recovery item, but a piece of parchment, on which was written "Training [-]: Meditate for half an hour."

"What?!"

"Meditate as long as you are told, don't ask any more questions." Xianbei said, took out a pocket book and sat down on the ground casually, reading a novel.

"But half an hour? No one saw it, can you leave?"

"There is no way out, unless you complete the training." Mr. Luo pointed behind Lin Xiwu.

Lin Xiwu turned her head slowly, only to realize that the three of them were locked in a closed space at some point.Lin Xiwu had to sit cross-legged. When he sat down, he heard a voice similar to the system: "The countdown is now starting, and the remaining time is 29 minutes and 59 seconds."

Lin Xiwu would occasionally see his mother sitting cross-legged like this while practicing yoga. He had thought his mother was sitting and taking a nap many times, but actually sitting like this was really tormenting. Half an hour seemed as long as centuries.He doesn't know the meaning of meditation. If meditation is for meditation, he can't calm down at all now.He simply closed his eyes and listened to the sound of time ticking. In addition, he also heard the sound of senbei flipping the book and the breathing of the three people. Gradually, he felt that he could identify which voice came from Who is it, he even heard the sound of the beating heart.

Although Lin Xiwu closed his eyes, he seemed to see thermal imaging on his eyelids. He not only heard the sound of Xianbei turning the pages of the book, but actually saw a group of blurred figures move.Could it be that I was too bored, so my brain created a brain hole based on the sound, right?

Thinking about it this way, the portrait on the eyelids became clearer, and Lin Xiwu even saw her own body.

Book that!Could it be that his soul is out of his body?Can you see your own body?Can the soul go out of the body after sitting for a long time?Could it be that the legendary practice of kung fu has gone crazy?

"What are you thinking? What you feel now is what I see." Venus's voice was transmitted directly to Lin Xiwu's brain, and the voice that was not heard through the ears always had a kind of self-talk in her heart. language illusion.

"You mean our eyes are connected? Is this a new use of the pendulum? It can be used for peeping." Lin Xiwu didn't say this out loud, but Venus's voice immediately rang in his mind. sound.

"I won't help you spy. However, the better the relationship between the pendulum and the driver, the more things can be done."

At this moment, Lin Xiwu felt that if the conversation with Venus was not in her own mind, it would really be like a person with a split personality talking to herself in her mind.

"Can the combination of the pendulum and the driver release a very powerful attack skill?"

"Is this similar to the communication between human beings? The stronger the relationship between buddies, the more likely the other party will do things for you. The same is true for our pendulums. The more we connect with the master, the more we will be the master. Work hard."

Hearing this, Luo Sen's figure suddenly appeared in Lin Xiwu's mind, and it seemed that he hadn't touched him for a long time. Thinking of this, he understood Lin Jiayi's distraught mood after Brother Lu abandoned Lin Jiayi and left. , he didn't even know how Lin Jiayi survived the initial period.

"You meditate for me, don't think about these things."

"Have you been lectured by a young lady like you?"

"Don't just call me Xiaozheng just because I'm young."

"Okay, Venus."

Lin Xiwu wanted to get all his thoughts out of his mind, but the more he tried to think about it, the more chaotic his mind became. When he heard the system prompt saying "Meditation is over", suddenly I felt that time passed very quickly, so I didn't think about it for a long time, and half an hour passed like this.

He opened his eyes suddenly, got up from the ground, looked around, and found that the two walls of the confined space disappeared, and the treasure chest just now disappeared, leaving only a beer bottle cap on the ground.

"Pick it up, this bottle cap can be exchanged for anything you want later." Xianbei closed the book and reminded.

The corner of Lin Xiwu's mouth twitched. He really didn't understand why people would drop gold coins or some props when completing tasks in the game, but what he got after completing the first task was an ordinary bottle cap?

He picked up the bottle cap and looked at it. There was neither "one more bottle" nor "thank you for participating" written on it.

"Because this is not a game, but a lesson." Venus said in Lin Xiwu's ear.

"Then besides the bottle cap, have I gained any experience points?" Lin Xiwu directly said what was in her heart.

"Experience points are invisible to the naked eye, and this is not a game. If you feel that you have gained something, then you have gained some experience." Xianbei said objectively.

"However, I don't think there is any use in meditating for half an hour."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's move on. Although there are many exits in this maze, the route is complicated. You have to go out within the specified time to get more bottle caps."

"Why is it a bottle cap again? Isn't there anything else?"

"Because this training base is run by the Beer Bottle Cap Association." Xianbei felt that when he met Lin Xiwu today, he almost finished talking about his whole life. He usually doesn't have so much to say, so he seemed like Self-reminders generally add, "Talk less, do more."

"Pfft." Lin Xiwu supported the wall next to him with one hand, and couldn't help laughing again, his whole body trembling from laughing, while the other hand was covering his stomach that hurt from laughing.

"What happened to you?"

"Xianbei, with that expression and that sentence you just said, it's almost like you're saying 'don't talk, kiss me', poof..."

"What expression did I have just now? It was obviously very serious."

"Then what are you pouting for?"

"Where do I have it?"

"If you don't pout, I won't laugh anymore. No, let me laugh a little longer. I think this trip to Germany can show my abs." After finishing speaking, Lin Xiwu laughed even more exaggeratedly. Tears were squeezed from the corners of the eyes.

"You have such a low smile."

"Young man, don't waste any more time." Mr. Luo on the side said he couldn't stand it anymore.

Lin Xiwu glanced at Mr. Luo, and immediately suppressed the urge to laugh. At this moment, Mr. Luo's expression was really serious, and there was a trace of the majesty of an elder in his eyes.

Therefore, Lin Xiwu adjusted his mentality and walked forward again. However, he didn't know that he had walked that road several times before, and after he went around for an unknown number of times, he finally walked on a new road. Road, while walking in front of him, he said with emotion: "This maze is really big."

Perhaps, in Lu Chi's eyes, the maze has been enlarged hundreds of times.For Lin Xiwu, the streets he usually walks are like a maze, let alone a real maze. He feels that everywhere he goes is a new road, and even when he bumps into the same dead end, he feels like he is encountering it for the first time. dead end.

Suddenly, a dense road map appeared in Lin Xiwu's mind. There was a moving red dot in the road map. Maybe it was the three of them?

"Look at the map in your mind and go. It's clear at a glance where the dead end is." Venus directly drew the map into Lin Xiwu's mind. However, what he did was in vain because Lin Xiwu couldn't see it at all. Knowing the map, he also repeatedly emphasized how the direction he was walking was opposite to the direction the red dot was moving. Did he encounter a bug?

"Your own level of road recognition is the bug. With a master like you, I am also drunk." Venus eliminated the complicated road map in Lin Xiwu's mind, then climbed onto Lin Xiwu's head, and sat down on her buttocks. On his soft hair, he stopped talking.

Afterwards, Lin Xiwu finally found a new treasure box with his own strength. Maybe there was some new task hidden in the treasure box. This time he thought about it for a while and opened the box.

Sure enough, the moment after the box was opened, the system sound that I heard just now sounded in my ears: "Training [-]: Display the imaginary weapon in my mind through the pendulum."

"Finally a decent training session." Lin Xiwu said, closing his eyes, he thought for a while, and felt that he was so good at fighting, do he still need a weapon?Does the weapon mentioned here mean that it will be used when hunting blood clans in the future?So which weapon is better?However, compared to weapons, he still prefers hand-to-hand combat.By the way, after the weapon is selected, can it be changed?If you can't change it, it's better not to make a rash decision.

Various weapons flashed through Lin Xiwu's mind, including three-dimensional conventional weapons and two-dimensional exotic weapons. There were so many options that he didn't know what to do.At this moment, he experienced his elder brother Lin Jiayi's feelings when he was a patient with entanglement disease.

As a last resort, Lin Xiwu resorted to the last resort: "Venus, which weapon do you like? You can become the one you like."

"I don't like what you just thought, and there are many weapons that can no longer be called weapons. There are even tableware such as knives and forks and chopsticks."

"So what do you like?"

"This is..."
