Chapter 238 Lost Things
After becoming a ghost, it will be difficult to earn points, but Qiss does not intend to save on props.
In the effect of [Immortal], "injury cannot heal itself" is very troublesome from any angle, which made him have to start thinking about some questions:
For example, how to How can we try to avoid getting hurt in the dungeon?
For another example, can you find a way to ensure that the blood does not run out in the dungeon?
The existing prop reserves are undoubtedly insufficient for the endless crises.
[Cursed Pendulum] made Zeiss' actions in the copy of "Frog Hospital" easier, and he finally realized the convenience brought by force——
Once, you can Let others listen to him calmly; secondly, it can save you the trouble of speaking in many cases.
The cost-effectiveness of purchasing props has further improved in Qis’s eyes.
If you can't even protect yourself, and you have to put all your effort into killing someone, it will undoubtedly be a fantasy to survive until you can accumulate one million points.
Qisi entered the mall and called out several props he had collected before and was interested in purchasing.
The icon of [Water Mirror Mask] has turned gray. I don’t know if it was bought by another player, or the seller did not renew it after it was removed from the shelves after the display time.
But that’s okay, he already has a [Human Skin Mask].
[Human Skin Mask] is better than [Water Mirror Mask] in all aspects. There is no need for him to sacrifice the good for the bad.
Qisi’s eyes fell on another prop.
[Name: Paper Knife for Self-Injury]
[Effect: No matter what kind of wound is caused, the injured person will not lose consciousness or really die]
[Remarks: It The original owner sank in great despair, but ultimately lacked the courage to achieve final liberation and could only resort to self-harm to release the pain]
[Price: 150,000 points]
Previous Qisi He only paid attention to this prop because he thought it was suitable for torture to extract confessions; but now, Ziss was curious about how high the priority of the causality effect of this prop was.
"Can I try out this prop?" Qisi asked Weird Game.
[After the transaction is completed, you can try it out in the game space at any time]
The established rules cannot be changed, no matter how much you talk, it is useless, and Qiss does not intend to bargain.
For official players, it is not difficult to collect 16,000 points in a short period of time. You can sell props at low prices, invest in a live broadcast room, and then download a copy. There are various ways to collect the amount. .
Of course, for Qisi, who controls several tools and a leek pond like Qijia Village, the above methods are too troublesome.
The golden vine on the right side of the high-backed chair pressed down its branches and handed the golden fruits hanging from the top to Qis.
Qisi raised his hand and held it, sinking his consciousness into it, unfolding the picture of Qijia Village in front of his eyes.
After the third copy, most of the villagers died again, and only five people survived.
A sixty-year-old couple, a single middle-aged woman, a delinquent boy, and a little boy about ten years old.
They have all become official players, and Qiss can see the shadows of their respective game spaces above their heads. Some are simple country houses, some are dazzling game halls, and some are full of fantasy castles. .
Since Qisi interfered in advance through [Anchor Point] and [Fruit of the World], their game space cannot be connected to the Ruins of the Sunset, and it does not have functions such as shopping malls and live broadcasts, so it will not be out of Qisi's control.
The points they earned are stored in [Fruit of the World], a total of twelve thousand points, waiting for Qis to redistribute.
After Qi Si took them all away, he gave each of them a few scarlet dots at a ratio of 600 to 1.
He intentionally reduced the rewards given by clearing the dungeon and strengthened the role of real tasks.
He is very clear about the strength of these villagers. In the official pool, they serve as living targets and consumables. The value that a single person can bring is limited, and he can only win by quantity.
Instead of encouraging them to risk their lives to enter a few more dungeons, it is better to accumulate points in a steady stream as often as once every seven days.
Another more obscure reason is that the weird game is the territory that the Grand Guild has been cultivating for many years. If you want to do things under other people's rules, you must give up a lot of profits.
Qisi knows that he lacks accumulation and competes with the intricate forces in the game. The risks are not proportional to the gains. If he is not careful, he will lose everything.
It is better to use your unique ability to extradite weirdness to reality and develop your own power in a reality where few people have the ability to get involved.
With four thousand points left, Qiss habitually raised his hand to touch the newly appeared leaves on the vine.
That leaf belonged to Lin Chen. It was an ominous scarlet color and was held by a blood-colored branch. It hung down from the right side and was out of place among the pile of golden lights.
Perhaps it is because the names of gods recited when signing the contract are different, so the colors are used to distinguish them from other soul leaves.
If the soul leaves harvested before were at risk of being interfered with during the contract, then Lin Chen's soul leaves completely belonged to Qiss.
The god he believed in and prayed to was Qisi from the beginning to the end, whether it was the young man who helped him survive to the end in "Rose Manor" or the help of Qijia Village after obtaining the [Scarlet Priest] card. The villagers remade the god's name as a false god.
After the scarlet leaf is touched, the settlement interface of "Frog Hospital" pops up.
["Frog Hospital" evaluation level A, reward points 3000]
["Frog Hospital" TrueEnd line clearance, reward points 5000]
["Frog Hospital" dual world lines unlocked, reward points 5000]
[80% cracking degree of the world view, 3000 reward points]
[Unlock the achievement "Lucky Man" (making the right choice with good luck at a critical moment), 1000 reward points 】
[Unlock the achievement "Executor" (successfully execute most of the clearance steps and complete the ending), reward points 1,000]
[Total reward points 18,000]
Qisi withdrew his hand and turned to touch other leaves.
He did not intend to make Lin Chen aware of the harshness of the soul contract for the time being, so naturally he could not touch the latter's points.
Most people are inert. As long as the obvious facts have not happened, their minds will settle for false peace and cannot touch the hidden dangers and privacy behind them.
Zeiss is also happy to whitewash the peace of the recyclable tool man. Certain methods can only exert their greatest value when they are not used before, and can even unexpectedly reverse the situation at critical moments.
Except for Lin Chen, Dong Zixi, Liu Yuhan and Zhang Yiyu have all had points harvested before and can be disposed of at will.
Among them, Zhang Yiyu has become useless and is locked in a holding room by the Weird Investigation Bureau. She doesn’t know when she will be able to enter the dungeon again, so she is not considering it right now.
Liu Yuhan was quite diligent in entering the dungeons, and there were only 85 dungeons left to complete the contract requirements.
In the latest dungeon, she entered as a team with a member of the Kyushu Guild. The two were talking and laughing - it seemed that she had gained the trust of Kyushu.
Dong Zixi's frequency of entering dungeons has dropped. He has only cleared one dungeon in the past few days. I wonder if it is because he cannot get the points and his enthusiasm has been hit.
In order to prevent tool people from using up their points as soon as they get them, Zister made special settings to collect the points they earned into a point pool and then distribute them after the redistribution is completed.
At this moment, Qisi each drew 30% of the points from their point pool before throwing the remaining points back into their respective accounts.
Everything is done manually and manually, which seems to be fine for now. However, when there are more soul leaves in hand in the future, the processing of various affairs will become lagging and troublesome.
Fortunately, after the Poseidon Scepter absorbed a large amount of evil, Zeiss' control over the game space and anchor points was further strengthened, and he was able to make some more complex settings.
In layman's terms, it means being able to formulate rules that take effect on a small scale.
He wrote a rule in [Fruit of the World] [deposit points directly into the account and convert them into scarlet dots at an exchange rate of 600 to 1 and issue them], and in the souls of Liu Yuhan and others The entry of [automatic extraction of 30% points] is programmed into the blade, which can be regarded as barely completing the automation.
Next, as long as he leaves the Poseidon Scepter in the game space, some basic operations will automatically run according to the rules he set.
Qisi bought the [Self-Mutilator’s Paper Knife] and still had 23,000 points left in his account, which was neither rich nor poor.
He entered the second page of the mall and bought a pair of white long gloves and a jar of sugar.
The former takes into account the characteristics of ghosts and is used to avoid the embarrassing situation of shaking hands with people and ending up with a black skin; the latter is used to round things off.
Qisi looked at the number [22900] displayed in the account and was quite satisfied.
There was still some time left to stay, so he simply picked up the Poseidon Scepter again and let his consciousness use the Scepter as a medium to disperse to a farther place.
In the gray mist, looming gold and red surged. The chief priest who extradited the disaster held up the black cross and looked sideways at the starry sky in the distance with his scarlet eyes.
In the rich darkness deep in the palace of thought, the blood-colored gazes were connected in a real line, with crimson stars twinkling faintly at the connecting ends. Chiss knew that those were the people affected by the [Insomnia Germs] he spread.
Thousands of infected people lurk among ordinary people and pass the germs through contact.
In just a few days, the impact of new strangeness on reality far exceeded the size of Qijia Village.
Chisi noticed that some of the stars were dim, some were shining, large and small, and unevenly distributed.
The moment the doubt took shape, there was a language that did not belong to any world, telling him the message earnestly, telling him the reason——
Different physiques have different affinities to weirdness.
The more suitable a person is for weird games, the brighter and larger the corresponding star will be; on the contrary, the star will be as small as a grain of rice.
Similarly, the sequence of infection also plays a significant role.
The [Insomnia Germs] from the weird game cannot reproduce naturally in reality. The further you go, the fewer the germs are distributed to each person, and the weaker the effect.
There may even be a day when all the germs are consumed and the number of infected people stops multiplying.
Zeiss wasn't surprised.
The weird invasion of reality must be subject to certain restrictions. If it could expand its territory endlessly, the real world would have turned into a ghostland thirty-six years ago.
There are currently 10,000 people infected by the germ, and Qiss is quite content with this.
He selected a hundred people with the brightest stars, controlled the golden vines to extend the tentacles of the weird game towards them, and repeated exactly what he said when he brought the villagers into the game a week ago.
Faced with the threat of death, those people had no reason to refuse.
What's more, most of them are people from Eagle County who love to commit suicide, and they might even feel that they have encountered an adventure that belongs to the protagonist.
【The stay time has been exhausted, more time can be redeemed by spending points】
【Do you want to spend 100 points to redeem 1 hour of stay? 】
Qisi put down the Poseidon Scepter and said calmly: "Exit the game."
......
"Sunday is Gloomy, Myhoursareslumberless..."
The ringing tone of the phone ringing in my ears seems distorted in the darkness that has not yet dissipated, like a butterfly that cannot be caught in a dream, erratic and illusory.
After listening for a while, Qisi reluctantly opened his eyes and stared at the white ceiling in a daze.
He put his hand on his forehead. The touch was not the stiffness and coldness of a corpse as he imagined, but a soft residual warmth. If you look carefully, you can feel the weak pulsation of blood vessels.
In reality, he looks like a genuine human being on the surface, at least that's how he feels.
There is no doubt that Weird Games has put a lot of effort into disguise. As long as he doesn't post idle posts like Zhang Yiyu, he probably won't be noticed by the Weird Investigation Bureau.
By analogy, the number of ghosts lurking in the crowd is most likely high. Those who remain silent, try their best to hide themselves, and some clever ones should have done a lot in the past thirty-six years. Penetration...
The palace of thought was dark, and no corresponding picture emerged during the process of thinking expansion. Qisi looked at a small corner of the blue sky outside the window. The color was as light as colored pencils soaked in water. .
The phone has stopped ringing.
Chis climbed out of bed, walked out of the bedroom, and looked around in the living room.
He saw that the colorful bookcases were dripping with color like water-splashed oil paintings, and the spilled colors were flowing through his fingers like water with an unstoppable trend. Together with the black, white and gray philosophy books and serious works, Gives the texture of old photos.
The whole world is fading, no, to be precise, the world in his vision is fading.
Everything seems to have been reduced in transparency, revealing a light color that has been fogged by natural wear and tear. The remaining colors hang listlessly in all directions of the field of vision, and can only be filled with bright colors through memory. original appearance.
And soon, even the color in the memory began to be lost, and the palace of thinking was as dark and dull as ever, as if it had returned to the monotonous world before the age of twelve.
Now Qisi knows another negative effect of becoming a ghost——
He lost the perception of the world that he had finally gained after his first murder.
Emotions of sadness or joy and ups and downs of moods passed away with the disappearance of colors. The feelings that were once easily accessible were isolated by an insurmountable barrier, causing him to fall into total silence and silence again, out of place. Living in isolation.
“The occurrence of negative effects in the game does not seem to be as serious as in reality.”
Zis remembered that in the copy, although the various colors tended to fade, they did not give him such a It was an abrupt and uncomfortable look, otherwise he wouldn't have realized something was wrong until he returned to reality.
"Is this a commercial fraud to trick me into accepting the identity of a ghost? Or...are you trying to force me to increase the frequency of entering dungeons?"
Zeiss shook his head without any particular emotion.
He returned to the room, picked up the mobile phone beside his pillow, and looked at the missed calls.
It was a strange number, but it was not completely unfamiliar. After he told Lin Chen his contact information later in the copy, Lin Chen also told him his contact information.
He therefore knew that this was Lin Chen’s phone number.
Lin Chen seemed to have called him as soon as the copy came out, probably to confirm his safety.
After all, in the later stage of the dungeon, he didn't have any good flesh on his body, and he looked like he was going to die at any time.
The phone is not connected right now, and I don’t know how anxious Lin Chen is.
Qisi conveniently saved the phone number into the contact page, noted the name, and called back.
"Hey, is this Lin Chen?"
"I'm fine. I just felt a little dizzy when I first returned to reality. I have no strength in my hands and feet and can't pick up the phone."< br>
"You don't have to worry about me... By the way, are you free tomorrow afternoon? Let's meet at Sunset Ruins."
...
Jiangcheng University, male dormitory building.
Lin Chen hung up the phone, opened the door and returned to the dormitory, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
In the later stage of the dungeon, although he took a risk and used the effect of [Doctor Beak] to resurrect Ziss, looking at Ziss's poor state at the time, he always felt that things were not that simple.
In order to help him get rid of the control of the puppet master, Qisi risked the consequences of transforming into a ghost and activated his fourth skill.
If something happened to Qisi, he might never be able to forgive himself in this life.
Fortunately, he was overthinking it and the worst case did not happen. Qisi is still alive and well...
"Lin Chen, who are you calling?"
< br>The roommate lowered his head from the upper bunk and teased with a playful smile.
"I almost cried when I couldn't get through. When they called me, you laughed so happily that you can't hold your lips back now... Don't you want to talk about girls behind our backs?"
Lin Only then did Chen realize that he was too happy.
He adjusted his expression in one second and explained softly: "Don't guess, it's a man."
"Tch, I don't believe it, why are you so attentive to a man?"< br>
Lin Chen said nothing, picked up his mobile phone and entered the game forum, and diligently posted posts.
Tomorrow he was going to meet with Qisi at the Ruins of the Sunset. He had to know the various landmarks of the Ruins of the Sunset beforehand so as not to wander around like a headless fly.
The roommate paused for a while, and somehow regained his energy. He climbed out of bed and approached Lin Chen: "So who is it?
"Fraud has become rampant again recently. Don't I met a liar and was deceived..."
"He is not a liar. "Lin Chen shook his head seriously.
He turned off the screen of his mobile phone, looked up at his roommate, and said seriously: "He is someone who has helped me a lot and saved my life...
"Friends."
