Number One Player - Chapter 98
It’s only been more than two months since the end of [Death Labyrinth] in the real world, but in Shang Yinhe’s perception, it seems like a year has passed.
Seriously, plus the experience of repeating customs clearance in the game world, it might have been a year. After all, in the game world, there is no distinction between day and night, and there is no concept of time passing.
Shang Yinhe put on the demon king’s cloak, pushed open the door from the rented house, activated the ability of [door teleportation], and stepped into the copy of the White Mist Temple.
The gate of the castle was closed behind Shang Yinhe, hardly attracting anyone’s attention – only Mu Shiming, who had just cleared the customs and left the dungeon and exchanged for the SS-level [Space Transfer] ability, seemed to have sensed it, and asked in confusion. Looking up in the campsite, looking in the direction of the White Mist Temple.
But Mu Shiming was just getting started with the ability of [space transfer]. The extraordinary ability of this space system was quite difficult, which made him suffer a lot. Although he could barely feel it, the fluctuation was too slight. As for making him think it was his own delusion.
However, Mu Shiming has always trusted his own intuition very much.
In the end, he took people to the White Mist Temple to investigate carefully – as a matter of course, he found nothing, not even the traces of the creatures.
In the castle hall of the copy of White Mist, Shang Yinhe was wandering freely.
He spent countless hours in this hall, and the time was so long that it seemed that there was no end in sight.
Die again and again, respawn again and again, challenge again and again.
Solitary journeys, unaccompanied journeys, seemingly endless journeys.
Nearly 20,000 challenges, what kind of concept is this?
Thinking about it carefully, during that time, his mentality entered a state of complete machinery.
He hypnotizes it’s just a game, he’s just playing a very difficult game—
And relying on this hypnosis, he finally struggled to clear the level.
From now on, the lonely journey is no longer an obstacle for him.
Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Iida. At that time, it was the guardian devil in the tenth level of the devil. It was the only rational creature in the [Death Labyrinth] and the only creature that could have a dialogue. It seemed to be so powerful. There are no flaws, so as to force Shang Yinhe to use his brains to find another way to clear the final BOSS.
He stimulated Shang Yinhe at the very end of the challenge, awakening him from the most mechanical and numb state, allowing him to return to the real world with a relatively normal state of mind.
The chick on his shoulder was still looking at the hall, Shang Yinhe smiled and turned his head, saying a belated thank you: “Iida, thank you.”
Iida tilted her head in confusion. She didn’t quite understand the origin of this sentence. Why did she say thank you inexplicably?
The little cloak rolled up the corners of his clothes in dissatisfaction, and silently poked Shang Yinhe.
Shang Yinhe laughed helplessly and closed his mouth obediently.
Of course, having traveled through so many game worlds along the way, Shang Yinhe is no longer the rookie player who will suffer for the liver of [Long Live the Anchor] and be numb for the endlessness of [Death Labyrinth].
He began to enjoy this different scenery, a different journey, and a different world.
Loneliness is the adjustment on the journey, not to mention that Iida and the little cloak will accompany him in the future;
Exploding liver will be the norm in travel, and he has become accustomed to clearing the game over and over again to find the best ending for the real world.
Not to mention, after you get used to it, you will find it quite fun to burst your liver!
Shang Yinhe smiled and walked around the castle hall.
Although it has been so long, he is still familiar with everything in this hall, every fine line, every sculpture, and he can walk out of the way with his eyes closed.
“Okay,” Shang Yinhe picked up the novice sword and shield provided in the hall, walked to the bronze gate of the first level, and cheered to himself, “Come on, let’s take a look, now you are far away from you in the video. , how much difference is there?”
With that said, he pushed open the bronze door and walked into the darkness behind the door.
After the dizziness of time and space passed, he was already standing at the entrance of a corridor. The torches on the ancient walls were the only light in this corridor, reflecting a small path under the torches.
This time, Shang Yinhe did not have the attitude of clearing the customs. He just wanted to test his extraordinary ability, so Xiaochuang and Iida obediently stayed aside without any help, and let Shang Yinhe start the challenge purely by his own strength.
Looking at the friendly and familiar road in front of him, Shang Yinhe walked up and down familiarly, seduced the big knife to jump over the trap of the beach, tried to jump through the trap of the fork, and then easily blocked the attack of the water elf—
During the challenge, he discovered two things.
The first thing, the hero of the game’s realization period, and the current him, are calculated separately into two challengers.
After all, the difficulty of the current level is almost the same as in the game, and there is no such situation as “advanced traps appear in the first level, double the number of traps, and double the number of monsters” as mentioned in the “Summary of the White Mist Copy Challenge Rules”.
He has challenged more than 20,000 times, completely remembering all the points of attention in the dungeon. For him, the challenge after such a long time is still as easy as before.
The second thing, and the most important thing, is—
He is so strong!
After training in [Qualification Potion], training in the real world and in the game world, and intensive use in the [Quick Rescue] level, his current [Blessing of the Wind] ability is almost like an arm and a finger. Seduce the big knife on the trap on the beach, and test the collapse of the fork in the road.
He controls the wind and is handy, sometimes turning into a wind scroll, sweeping away the attack of the water spirit, sometimes turning into a wind blade, splitting the body of the fish monster, sometimes turning into wings, carrying him flexibly to move around, dodging the attack of the trap—
Is he really that powerful?
Different from the somewhat clumsy back panel in the [Death Labyrinth] period and the power accumulated by various skill items in the dungeon, now he can really control his extraordinary power!
Shang Yinhe rushed to the sixth level in one breath, and unfortunately died in the hands of a skeleton warrior who sneaked a sneak attack from behind, and finally lost.
After the scene of death and rebirth, Shang Yinhe stood in the empty castle hall and looked at his hand in disbelief:
He… His first challenge, he directly hit the sixth level?
…is that exaggerated?
You know, according to the “Summary of the White Mist Dungeon Challenge Rules” and his own experience, for this White Mist Dungeon, the most correct way to challenge it should be to constantly brush through the levels that can be easily cleared, and save enough gold coins until the When your ability is improved to a certain level, you can continue to brush the next level, and repeat until you finally clear the level.
However, Shang Yinhe just now had hardly exchanged any items or skills, and he rushed to the sixth level at one time purely by virtue of his extraordinary abilities, plus the fighting and athletic abilities he had accumulated from multiple game worlds!
Moreover, if you count the power of the little cloak clone and Iida, he clearly has a more powerful hole card!
Shang Yinhe was a little stunned, as if muttering to himself, “I… I’m so strong…”
“The Great Demon King is already super powerful!” Iida immediately flapped her wings and happily said, “The Great Demon King is the Great Demon King!”
Not to be outdone, the little cloak immediately rolled up and went around to Shang Yinhe from the side, clapping his hands with the corners of his clothes puffed up, looking very cute.
Shang Yinhe was amused by the reaction of the two of them. He patted this with his left hand and that with his right, and comforted both cute creatures before turning his hand to look at his watch.
According to the time on the watch, it took him six hours to get through the six levels this time, with an average of one level per hour.
Considering that the time in the game copy might not be right, Shang Yinhe also went back to his house to confirm that the time on the big clock at home had only passed six hours.
Seeing that it is almost dawn, if I fight again, I guess it will not be safe. What if there is something in the support club of the brave to call him? What if Uncle Anrong of the country suddenly looks for him?
Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, after returning to the castle hall, Shang Yinhe hesitated for a long time at the gate of the first pass, and finally decided to give up the challenge with regret.
Seriously, he really liked the feeling of being familiar and wanton fighting in the challenge just now!
Shang Yinhe took off his cloak and let go. The little cloak floated in the air and stayed at the same height as his shoulders for a while, before turning into a hero clone.
“Did you see the challenge process just now?” Shang Yinhe instructed, while taking out a booklet of white paper printing paper from his arms and placing it on the ground, “Just play like that, and after you clear the level, you can exchange for a high level. The less conspicuous extraordinary items will do. The extraordinary items that may be produced by this White Mist dungeon are all here, and I have reorganized them again. When the time comes, you will exchange them first according to the above order. ”
“The “Summary of the Rules” says,” Shang Yinhe took out another walkie-talkie and put it on the ground, “It should be possible to communicate inside and outside the castle hall. I bought this walkie-talkie specially, let’s try it out and see if it can work. call.”
“Also,” Mingming had already told him many times before, but Shang Yinhe repeated it again, “What abilities and skills will be best for you to exchange in the dungeon, I have also prepared them and printed them all in this small book. In the booklet. If you forget, you can turn over the booklet at any time.”
“Do what you can,” Shang Yinhe felt that he almost turned into an old mother, “If you feel that you can’t stay any longer, then come out and find me…”
The hero clone nodded silently, and the little cloak climbed up from behind him reluctantly, showing a corner of his clothes and looking at Shang Yinhe.
“Speaking of which, it’s a very good place to exercise, it’s much better than our indoor practice,” Shang Yinhe was also a little reluctant, and continued to nag, “The space is large, and you don’t have to worry about injury and death, and there are special The equipment and sparring – I have decided, I will come here to exercise every night from now on!”
The eyes of the hero clone lit up, and the little cloak jumped into the sky exaggeratedly, waving the corners of it happily.
“But…” Shang Yinhe frowned, “According to what was said in the “Summary of Rules”, everyone entered is an independent copy, which is not connected with each other. It stands to reason that if I leave this hall, again When you come back, you shouldn’t be able to find you…”
The hero clone regained his paralyzed face, and the small cloak behind him was startled and fell down again.
“It’s okay, I can see here through your eyes,” Shang Yinhe felt distressed and quickly comforted, “We have been together.”
After chatting for over an hour, he turned back step by step and pushed open the bronze door of the castle hall, left the copy of White Mist, and returned to his rental house.
At this time, Iida, who had been sitting on his shoulders in silence, suddenly spoke up and said pitifully, “Great Demon King, don’t abandon Iida like this next time…”
Shang Yinhe quickly touched the chick on his shoulder: “I didn’t abandon it, I didn’t abandon it, how could I abandon you?”
Iida looked at him with tears in her eyes: “Okay! Don’t break your promise!”
It seems that the experience of [the landlord of the demon king] really brought a great psychological shadow to Iida, and Shang Yinhe hurriedly swore and vowed: “Absolutely not!”
