The Indescribable Diary - Chapter 3
“Welcome to the diary… Adjusting the inverse Kabala energy… Optimizing the dream…Trying to track down the time… Playing with the dog… Love craftsmanship in prayer…”
“Investigator · Yu Xing”
“Currently in good condition”
“Completed event: 0”
“Profession: Police Detective”
With the re-login of the game, Yu Yi appeared in front of the login framework and chose the newly established character card with the two initial skill slots. Even if there was Card Tearing, the achievement reward would not disappear. The skill card for Shotgun Flying Kick. This achievement was not a unique achievement, but a basic achievement of a player’s task. Some players would try to spawn this card. Although it was not too difficult to get, it was definitely not very easy.
“Select the investigator’s game module”
“Nameless Terror · Cthulhu”
“Warm blood and magic · dragons and dungeons”
“Infinite hope · Infinite horror”
“Contest’s Miracle · The Holy Grail”
“…”
These four game modes were included in the system, and all were real-life board games. They were also the most famous modes: the original DND module and later the COC module derived from the prevalence of Cthulhu’s mythology. The updated infinite horror module according to the main god space, as well as the updated Holy Grail war module due to the expansion of the Lunar Chefs’ sphere of influence.
He chose the first module of COC without hesitation. Although Yu Yi was an experienced board game player, he only loved the COC mode. What he liked most was this kind of script, which was immersed in infinite darkness without redemption and one could only struggle alone but couldn’t find a way out. Maybe it was because he had the same experience. Although he would occasionally join other groups, Yu Yi did not know them well because different rules were applied in different modules of the game. People who often run COC would probably have to pass a San test first when they shifted to the Holy Grail.
“Script draft””Single script””Multiple script””Address book”
After choosing the COC mode, the feeling of lying in bed disappeared. When Yu Yi came to his senses, he found himself sitting on the stairs of an abandoned building. What showed on the panel changed from a virtual display to a mobile phone with a blue aperture floating beside him. That was KP, the host of the game. In real-life board games, the host of the game would usually be played by someone else. In this game, the host was played by AI.
Although it was AI, it gave Yu Yi the same feeling as human beings. Although the rule of the COC mode was that the Investigator (PC) must work with the Secret Service (KP) to survive and resolve the event. But in fact, the COC mode was a battle of wits between investigators and KP. In addition to being aware of strange things that might appear at any time, there was also the son of a bitch’s, KP, brilliant eight-facet hidden dice.
He picked up his cell phone and clicked his address book. The familiar friends panel appeared. He entered a friend’s ID and sent a request. The feedback was that the person was in a game.
“Can’t even wait this long? Always leaving me behind and going by himself.”
Didn’t we agree to wait for me to create the character and then enter the game together? What’s this? What a crap!
Forget it. Now that he’s inside a game, I’ll go in too. I’ll try the instance.
“Enter the game selection. Multiplayer script, do you want to invite friends? No. Random script. Random number. Matching starts…”
“Matching ends · number of participants: 3”
“Script selection completed · Floating Island’s melody”
“Preparation time…”
“KP’s mercy: Since this mission is for all newcomer investigators, there will be clear hints for psychological and anthropological checks”
The voice of KP rang up. In this game, each player had their own KP. It could be seen as a KP or as a portable AI. The multiplayer game would randomly decide whose KP would be the host of the game. Obviously, that playful voice was Yu Yi’s KP. It became the host of the game. That was too bad. This guy was a real stupid KP. After all, he said something like killer devils hearing him rolling a dice.
“Ask the investigator to insert his own character card and take the stage”
According to the hint, Yu Yi inserted his only figure card. Then his appearance changed into another figure. A sunny handsome guy who was not thin. No, his new appearance was much more than simply handsome.
“Profession reading is complete… Here we go!”
As the sound of KP disappeared, the surrounding environment gradually disappeared. When Yu Yi regained consciousness, he found himself standing in a sightseeing elevator. He was standing next to two very vague figures, probably two other investigators. Three people… Then the script should not be difficult. If it was a regiment of seven or eight people, then Yu Yi should be careful. After all, there were a large number of people… It was okay for one or two to die in the game in such a case.
Soon, the investigators also finished reading, and their appearances were fully revealed. A foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes? Um, a foreigner with brown hair? Wow! The nationality says that they’re from the United States and Canada. Two foreigners?
Because the game was distributed around the world, having no ping delay, and so on, there were a variety of players. TRPG fans, regardless of nationality, were everywhere. The rules were basically universal. There was no so-called zoning. No national region, Asian server, European server, and so on. Everyone was on a unified server, so the probability of meeting foreigners was actually pretty big.
Right now, I cannot talk yet. The three parties are unable to communicate because the reading time is not yet over. It should still be the CG time.
“Floating Island, the most famous tourist attraction in the coastal city of Yassen. A beautiful tourist island. Its beautiful ecology and… its floating in the air, and the supernatural environment that surpassed what other people could think of attracted a large number of tourists.”
“Soon comes the ten-year grand ceremony of floating Island, and you are the tourists who are attracted to the ceremony. You met on the sightseeing elevator on the floating island.”
Floating Island?
Yu Yi looked towards the sky, and then saw a beautiful giant island floating in mid-air surrounded by red clouds. Below the island was a strange sight like a huge whale floating in the sky. The whole scene looked like a beautiful island carried by whales formed by clouds.
“Sky… Sky Beasts?”
The author of this screenplay probably drank the tainted milk powder drink.
“If everyone’s life is a book… Some people are medical books, some educational books, some are already a library. So, investigator Yu Xing, your life must be a book of abyss parties, full of challenges.”
“Hello! This can’t be a setting, is it?” Someone complained, although your complaint also made me want to complain.
“This is set by the screenwriter. If an investigator sees the Floating Island, this will be triggered automatically.”
“Well, if I’m serious, I’ll lose. Floating Island is a supernatural event, isn’t it? Shouldn’t we be doing a sanity check?”
Having witnessed the supernatural phenomenon, it was normal to check the San value.
“No, this is the last mercy of the screenwriter”
That was fine. At least the San value test did not have to be carried out at the beginning of the show. Be reasonable. If Yu Yi were to do this, KP, such a good scene layout would certainly charge a wave of ticket money. Do sanity check to all of them. You should know the real meaning, stupid KP! It was not unheard of for Yu Yi to have the group of participants killed at the beginning.
“Then you are free to move. Please feel free to play along with this script. As it is a trigger script, the information of the investigation and whether or not to resolve the event are entirely related to your actions. In other words, if you do nothing, everyone will survive at the very least.”
In other words, if you do nothing, you will not encounter any danger? It’s not a linear script but a trigger script? One has to seek death, which is the only way to trigger the plot?
“Hey… Hello, I’m Yu Xing. My profession is police detective and is currently traveling.”
Regarding the plot, these three players were from different countries. Tourists who came to visit, occasionally met, and boarded the sightseeing elevator to the Floating Island.
“Hello, I’m Yatok. My profession is a doctor. Dude, your APP score is quite high. How much is it?”
The language sounded like Chinese to Yu Yi. The game would translate the player’s language automatically. Although it sounded a little strange, he could understand . APP points were appearance points. The higher the appearance points, the more handsome the person was, and vice versa. If one’s point was below 5, NPC would be reluctant to talk to him. If it’s above 15 points, the minimum standard of attractiveness would be reached, and 18 points was the limit that mankind could reach. That was the so-called one charming smile capable of causing a downfall of a city. Those with APP over 18 points… None of them could be called human.
“18.”
“In-app purchase?”
Another investigator asked. After all, character cards with APP of 18 were rare. Everyone could only create character cards three times. If one wanted to recreate the card, one would get Card Tearing or one had to make an in-app purchase.
“I got this card by random.”
“Wow!”
Yu Yi heard two sighs.
