Chapter 273 The Scales and the ‘Gate’
This time, Luo Xi still didn’t take more. Like the copper coins, he only took a hundred silver coins, and they were all converted into cards.
“Can you show me?” Doudou reached out her hand at this time. She knew that the Memory Picker had the advantage of the Memory Picker.
That's the card.
The administrator has the advantage of directly strengthening the physical fitness.
The Memory Picker can turn card props into cards, and all cards, in addition to vivid illustrations, also have some "text descriptions".
These are very critical information.
Luo Xi handed over a few.
Doudou looked at it and was stunned.
[Copper Coin], this is a copper coin, it is a metal currency that represents a certain unit of value - you can use it to buy things.
[Silver Coin] This is a silver coin. It is a metal currency that represents a certain unit of value - you can use it to buy things.
“That’s it?” Doudou felt that the description was just like nonsense.
After speaking, return it to Luo Xi.
"Let's go and look at the gold coins from behind."
According to the plot of the story "Tinderbox", the next step is the gold coin room.
Sure enough, the two found the third room very smoothly.
On the same huge box is a dog with eyes so big that it is scary.
This dog's eyes can drive directly into a car. Doudou's reaction was much greater than the previous two times. She looked pale and stared at this third dog. The fear in her heart had already reached its peak. At the end of the day, this time, she didn't dare to act rashly at all.
She felt she could handle the first dog easily, the second one was a bit evenly matched, and by the third one, she already felt that it was no match for this dog, and there was even one dog that would bite her to death immediately. A sense of crisis, and this feeling is extremely strong.
"Doudou, where did you get these dogs?" Luo Xi still looked as calm as if he was carrying a flower pot, and took down the dog with exaggeratedly huge eyes and put it on the On the blue plaid apron.
"I told you I didn't do it. Wait a minute, I was wondering about something just now. The first dog was okay, but the second and third ones are so big. Why do you feel like you can move them easily? I'm afraid it would be a bit difficult for me to move a dog of this size." Doudou wiped the sweat from his head and asked.
“Because this dog just looks like it has big eyes and is not actually heavy. How about you give it a try?” Luo Xi said with a smile and reached out to touch the big-eyed dog’s chin and sucked it. Slurping and teasing.
The head cannot be touched.
Too big.
“Forget it!” Doudou glanced at this weird big-eyed dog. Although he had some thoughts, he finally waved his hand.
Luo Xi walked over and opened the third big box.
In an instant, golden light shines.
The gold coins in the box glowed golden under the light in the room, instantly dyeing the entire room golden.
"The story is the same as the tinderbox." Doudou looked at the box full of gold coins. If an ordinary person saw so much gold, he would definitely be excited. After all, this is definitely a sum that is enough. Let him squander his life's wealth.
However, gold does not play a big role during the period of confinement, at least in Doudou's opinion.
But she still grabbed two handfuls of gold coins and stuffed them into her pockets, enjoying this sense of satisfaction that she knew was false.
Luo Xi's reaction was the same as when he faced the copper coin and silver coin boxes before.
He picked up a gold coin expressionlessly, looked at it carefully, weighed it in his hand, and then turned it into a card.
It also says: This is a gold coin, which is a metal currency that represents a certain unit of value - you can use it to buy things.
There seems to be nothing special about it.
Luo Xi still turned one hundred gold coins into cards and put them into the card book.
“These are gold coins, why don’t you get more?” Doudou’s pockets were full at the moment.
"According to the plot, no matter copper coins, silver coins or gold coins, it is not the most important." Luo Xi picked up the gold coins in the big box and soon found something in it.
He reached out and took out this thing.
"Tinder box, a portable device used to store tinder, usually made of metal or hardwood, shaped like a small box, usually containing tinder and flint inside. This is very exquisitely crafted and has a brass outer shell. , with a curved wooden handle at the end, carved with suns, flames, flowers and dogs.”
Luo Xi was carefully observing the tinder box in his hand.
"This thing was found so easily?" Doudou was also a little unbelievable. She had read the original story a long time ago and could not remember the specific details. She could only remember a rough outline. .
A soldier met a witch, who asked him to find a tinderbox in a tree hole. There were three dogs and three boxes under the tree hole. There were copper coins, silver coins and gold coins in the boxes. The witch said the others All kinds of wealth can be given to the soldier. All she needs to do is ask the soldier to bring out a tinder box inside and give it to her.
As a result, the soldier found the tinder box, but instead of giving it to the witch, he chopped off the witch's head with a sword. After that, the soldier killed the king and queen, married the princess, and became the new king.
"To be honest, this fairy tale is quite dark, and it has incorrect views." Doudou muttered. .
She looked at the tinder box in Luo Xi's hand and suddenly realized something.
"If the old woman just now is a witch, then she said whether you can enter Fairy Tale Town next is all about choice. In other words, you need to choose, do you want to return this tinder box to her?" Doudou She is the administrator, and she designed many games in Doudou Game House.
So this kind of selective plot, which uses the original plot as a blueprint for secondary creation and processing, can be easily deduced.
"So, should I choose to give it to her or not?" Luo Xi asked back at this time.
Indeed, if 'should I return the tinderbox' is a choice, then I really need to choose one of the two options.
Different choices will inevitably lead to different results.
“I think it’s just right to follow the plot, and the tinder box must be a key prop. Wait, if I were the designer of the game, this possibility can be thought of by myself, and The company's requirement is to design problems and traps within the rules as much as possible so that the memory seeker fails or triggers the trap and leads to death. Such a simple statement deviates from the original intention!" Doudou was obviously caught in some kind of entanglement.
She was thinking about which path to take at this critical fork in the road if her purpose was to 'enter Fairy Tale Town'.
The old woman made it clear just now that there is only one chance for any choice. If you make the wrong choice, the game will fail and you will naturally not be able to visit the real fairy tale town.
She began to scratch her hair anxiously.
Luo Xi flipped his hand and turned the tinder box into a card, then materialized it again, and then turned it into a card again.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing." Luo Xi restored the card-shaped tinderbox at this time, thought for a while and said: "According to the story, this thing is You can summon the three dogs you met before. If you hit the fire once, the dog on the copper coin box will come. If you hit the fire twice, the dog on the silver coin box will come. If you hit the fire three times, the dog on the silver coin box will come. It will summon the dogs on the gold coin box, and all three dogs will obey the command. In addition to fighting and bringing copper coins, silver coins and gold coins anytime and anywhere, they can also satisfy the owner's desires like Aladdin's magic lamp."
After saying that, Luo Xi took the tinderbox in his hand and murmured: "It's really not surprising at all to give such a powerful thing a number."
"What?" Doudou was stunned.
She looked at Luo Xi's hand. The tinder box in the opponent's hand was turned into a card again. Looking carefully, it turned out to be a numbered card.
No. 019 [Tinder Box].
Doudou’s eyes widened, not only in disbelief but also with an indescribable emotion.
“It turned out to be a numbered card”
"Yes, I was surprised when I got it just now. How should I put it, the difficulty of obtaining this numbered card does not seem to be high, or in other words, there is no difficulty at all." Luo Xi materialized the card again .
“It can’t be said that it is not difficult. At least the process of this game from the previous entrance to taking the boat to entering here is not easy. If you make a slight mistake, you may fail or even lose your life!” Doudou After thinking for a while he said.
“This kind of difficulty is not worthy of this numbered card. It is like an appetizer before the main course. The taste is too bad. Compared with the main course, it is extremely inconsistent with the grade. So this A main dish looks more like a piece of sweet cheese on a mousetrap, obviously it is bait."
Luo Xi smiled and threw the tinder box back into the big box full of gold coins.
“You don’t want it anymore?” Doudou saw Luo Xi’s plan.
Luo Xi nodded: "The description on this card is that it is a tinder box with magical power. It can summon a loyal devil dog to execute any of your orders. Similarly, it can also bring you wealth that you can't imagine. What follows The fine print is described as, Desire Amplifier! "
"Desire?" Doudou seemed to understand something: "This thing is a double-edged sword. It will bring some disadvantages!”
“Obviously, although I don’t care about the disadvantages brought by this card, I even want to take this card item out for myself. , to try its power, but I can be 100% sure that if I take this tinder box, I will definitely miss Fairy Tale Town." Luo Xi stood up and continued walking forward.
Doudou followed immediately, but couldn't help but look back: "Why do you see it? Don't tell me, this is your sixth sense."
"Except for the first In addition to the six senses, there are other bases. For example, in your analysis just now, you think that 'should you return the tinder box' is a choice, but I think the real choice is 'should you take the tinder box away' because of fairy tales. story The protagonist in the movie is the soldier, so when you think about the plot, you will inevitably bring this character into it. But in fact, neither you nor I are the protagonists. Therefore, if you look at this thing from the perspective of a bystander, it will happen. In one case, the tinder box is still here, which means that the 'soldiers' have not come yet. If we take away the tinder box, then the fairy tale plot we know will not happen."
Just as he said this, Luo Xi discovered that there was another fork in the road ahead.
The passage on the left is sealed by an iron gate, and the passage on the right also has an iron gate, but it is open.
Obviously, this fork in the road can only be taken to the right.
The two passed through the iron gate on the right and continued forward. Soon, they came to a very strange place. There was only a suspension bridge connected to a large device that was obviously tilted to one side more than ten meters in front.
And all around, there is an abyss, pitch black and bottomless.
"What place is this?" Doudou was stunned.
"Aren't you playing with me? I should be the one to ask you this question." Luo Xi joked.
Look carefully, although the large device in front is tilted left and right, it looks very symmetrical. It is connected by a log-like pillar, with a huge metal basin like a bowl on both sides.
Doudou suddenly reacted.
“This seems to be a scale”
Luo Xi nodded, but his gaze was directed at a door hanging on the rock wall opposite the cliff behind the scale.
