Welcome Back To the World Game - v2 Chapter 457
【Obtaining props · Spell Sparks】
[(Curse Spark Seed): The flower of miracles that can open only after waiting for a long time is still in the seed state. It has a weak fire protection effect when you take it with you. (This item cannot be taken out of the copy.)]
…
After the rest, the group continued their journey.
Su Mingan found two more oracles, but he did not choose to submit them.
The meaning of these two oracles is: [Bai Shen is a **** created by people’s beliefs. ] And, [No one has really seen Jiu Shen’s appearance, but people speculate that there will be an evil companion **** beside Bai Shen, and they named him the name of Jiu Shen].
Su Mingan was puzzled by the latter oracle. According to Sibel, the Nine Gods definitely exist, but the oracle also said that no one has seen the Nine Gods at all, and the Nine Gods are people’s conjectures about the “Associated Gods” of the Bai Gods.
He asked Sibel, and she only said that because she was saved by the power of the Nine Gods when she was a child, she believed that the Nine Gods definitely existed.
Su Ming’an also believes that the Nine Gods should exist – the Nine Gods should be the “Associated Gods” of the Bai Gods.
One represents perfection, sun and oneness. One represents incompleteness, darkness and reincarnation.
The sky is getting darker.
They found a small gathering place and stayed there.
“Snapped–!”
Just as he was about to enter the room, Su Mingan saw a blood-colored firework suddenly blooming in the night sky not far away.
“What is that?” He looked up.
The bright red fireworks were particularly eye-catching in the dark sky, as if they were deliberately attracting attention.
“Maybe it was sent by the player.” Lu Shu said, “Is this firework a distress signal, a rally signal, or… a provocation signal? In any case, in this kind of venue, sending out this kind of signal that everyone can see, absolutely He is someone who has confidence in his own strength.”
“I’ll go take a look.” After thinking for a while, Su Mingan decided to go take a look.
It’s night time, he can shoot, and with the help of the raven, he doesn’t need to be as careful as during the day.
“I…” Lu Shu immediately opened his mouth and wanted to follow.
“There are not enough soul stones, among us, only Sibel has soul stones.” Su Mingan stopped him: “The more you protect a person’s range, the faster the soul stones will be consumed, and Sibel’s soul stones can only last Two nights, with you guys, it will only last for one night, so the tolerance for mistakes is too low.”
Lu Shu stood there and said nothing.
Xiaobi stood quietly on his shoulder, rubbing its two long knives.
Just as Su Mingan was about to leave, Lu Shu’s voice came from behind.
“Su Ming’an.”
“Huh?” Su Ming’an still didn’t turn around.
Lu Shu hesitated for a while.
“I mean, if, if it was Noel,” he said, “…would you let him follow?”
“…?”
Su Mingan understood what he meant.
Sure enough, even if he went back to the seventh world, Lu Shu still felt that his role was decreasing.
Whether it is the fifth world or the seventh world, Lu Shu has been playing soy sauce with Lin Yin, and he is not even close to the truth of the world at all.
Just before the start of the eighth world, Su Mingan took the time to take a look at the world rankings. Lu Shu’s ranking had dropped to nineteenth place, which was far from the fourth place at the beginning.
The higher the player’s ranking, the greater the gap between the players behind him. Lu Shu’s ranking was basically a world away from the first echelon. He couldn’t even touch the top ten players, let alone the first and second players.
So, is Lu Shu…a low self-esteem?
Su Mingan believes that if you feel inferior, you should catch up immediately, instead of complaining about yourself while playing soy sauce.
But if it is said that seeking verbal comfort can help Lu Shu, he doesn’t mind saying that, at least Lu Shu is still a partner for now.
“Bang!”
Just when Su Mingan was about to speak, at least one word of comfort, there was a loud door opening beside him.
Sibel, dressed in fiery red, came out with a polished shotgun.
Snow-like white hair fluttered behind her, and she was carrying a shotgun that was almost half the height of hers. It was a bit inconsistent for her small head, but her expression was very serious. She had already put the shotgun in her hand. as a life-saving weapon.
The weaker a person is, the more they pay attention to their own life-saving straw.
“Let’s go.” Sibel said lightly when he heard Su Ming’an’s conversation just now.
In her hand, the soul stone lit up, and the fire range was not large, only covering two people.
The black mist gradually drifted over, and Su Mingan immediately followed Sibel who was walking fast, entered the protection area of the firelight, and looked back at Lu Shu.
Lu Shu was still standing in the darkness, and the subtle black mist had begun to rise, gradually drifting towards him.
“If it’s Nuoer, it’s not necessarily.” Su Ming’an said, “If you want to travel at night, you must find a way to collect soul stones. Soul stones are a hard condition. Even if it’s Nuoer, if there is no soul stone, I will not bring him.”
He said no more.
Whether it is Nuoer, Lu Shu, or even Yamada Choichi, as long as they have soul stones on hand, they will now have the capital to travel with him at night.
But if they don’t, there’s no way. He wouldn’t take one more person at the expense of his own soul stone. The following dungeons are still very long, and Sibel refuses to say the source of the soul stone. As the most important “Bai God”, he must not run around with a soul stone that can only last for one night. .
This has nothing to do with who is following them, only whether they have the capital to travel at night.
“I understand.” Lu Shu said.
His expression was still calm, and Su Mingan didn’t know what he understood. Perhaps he has already figured out how to find a way to obtain the soul stone.
As for the method of obtaining the soul stone, these guides have been keeping a secret and are reluctant to say. It would be best if Lu Shu could find a new soul stone.
He and Sibel approached the area where the fireworks were blooming, which was some distance away, and it would take dozens of minutes to get there. On the way, he found that there were many players in action nearby.
“The place where the fireworks bloom is a large dungeon. The person who set off the fireworks is the top five player, Lu.” A voice came from the shadow.
As the Boss Rabbit, Ying can walk around and appear as the host during opening hours of some dungeons. At this time, the shadow has already discovered the movement over there.
It was the first time that Su Mingan heard that someone had discovered a large copy.
Both large and medium-sized dungeons have fixed opening hours. If you miss this time, you will not encounter them next time.
…No wonder the finder will deliberately set off fireworks to attract other players. This kind of large-scale dungeon is basically a faction-based competition. The number of participants needs to be more than 12. If the cooperation is in place, it is not impossible to profit together.
Although they are all top 100 players, they will not take the initiative to sacrifice themselves to give others silver stars, but considering the defection of the iris guards in the fourth world and the situation of Yamada Machiichi’s rebellion against the werewolf camp, this kind of thing is not When the interests are in place, it is not impossible.
…
Travelling at night is torturous, even with soul stones.
The shadows of those swaying, gloomy trees, the faint whispers in my ears, and the strange rustling voices are torturing people’s nerves every moment, and they are tortured just right, making people feel every now and then. Stay in a tense state all the time.
“call……”
A slight wind blew past his ears, like someone was blowing lightly on the back of his neck.
Even if you know that there will be nothing behind you, there will be a feeling of hair standing on end. This is purely a physiological reaction. Even if Su Ming’an is really not afraid psychologically, he will subconsciously speed up his heartbeat and quicken his breathing.
After just walking for a while, he had a vague feeling that his nerves were about to be broken.
This kind of feeling does not come from pure vision and hearing, but from the whole environment, from all aspects of human perception, a strange sense of panic created by joint efforts. He walked in the silent night, as if walking in sticky black mud, as if countless invisible hands were pulling his body, and he couldn’t even move a step.
Looking at Sibel who was walking quietly and seemed to be unaffected, Su Mingan asked, “Sibel, aren’t you afraid?”
“I’m afraid, I’m afraid to die.” Sibel said calmly.
“Your expression is very calm.” Su Ming’an said.
“I’m afraid you don’t have to show it.” Sibel said, “Just like when I look at you now, except that your face turns pale, I don’t see how scared you are. Sometimes, it’s better to hide your fear in your heart. , In this way, others will not find out that the fearful is dead. For the weakest guy like me, easily exposing fear is equivalent to easily abandoning life.”
Su Mingan listened and found that this fifteen-year-old girl really understood a lot.
It was this world that made her what she is now.
Under the ubiquitous oppression, she is growing rapidly.
“Not to mention… this nighttime feeling,” she said. “I’m used to it too.”
“Are you used to traveling at night?” Su Ming’an asked.
She obviously only had one soul stone in her hand, and it didn’t take many nights at all.
Sibel laughed and didn’t answer him: “Adventurer, you are still afraid.”
“No.” Su Mingan denied.
“Otherwise, why did you take the initiative to talk to me?” Sibel said, “Aren’t you afraid of being heard by other competitors? In this silent night.”
“I’m just curious.” Su Ming’an said, “This kind of environment is intentionally interfering with people’s five senses, gradually making people anxious and fearful. Even me will be affected a little, but you seem to be very calm.”
“I’ve said it all, I’m used to it.” She said, “Don’t change the subject, you are still very scared, right?”
“I……”
“The way you try to defend yourself is a little cute,” Sibel said.
“…”
Su Ming’an had already discovered that Sibel’s temperament was not so timid, but she never expected that she would be able to say such a thing.
Of course, as always, those love-brained viewers who only know how to watch dramas, unsurprisingly, started jumping up and down in the live broadcast room, shouting some speechless words.
But he only felt that Sibel seemed more unfathomable.
She said this, as if to test his reaction.
“…Okay, here we are.” Sibel suddenly said.
Su Ming’an immediately reached out and motioned her to squat down.
He had noticed that there was a clearing ahead, and they were about to leave the forest.
They hid in the bushes and watched the movement of the flat ahead. The light of the soul stone was pressed down by his hand, barely covering their crouching bodies. He looked out through the gap in the leaves, and there were already many players gathered on this flat ground.
It seemed that they were all attracted by the fireworks blooming in the night sky.
But what Su Mingan cared about the most was that there were almost no soul stones in the hands of this group of players.
They were directly exposed to the shrouded range of black fog, either carrying an ordinary oil lamp or waiting there with a flashlight. Only a few players had soul stones on hand.
Su Mingan vaguely realized that soul stones were really scarce. Not only Lu Shu and Yamada-cho one did not. The powerful players who dare to be attracted by such unknown fireworks, who are confident in their own strength, have basically no soul stones.
Sibel pushed aside the leaves and observed the people gathered in the clearing.
The players and their respective guides are standing one by one, and the players are guarding each other and are in a tense confrontation.
“Raphael, Kane, Hetos, Luo Yi, Li Yujie, Saiwen…” Sibel glanced at him and recognized all the guides: “…They are all troublesome people, they are all troublesome people. Gather together. This large-scale shrine is about to open, it should be quite difficult.”
“Is it okay for these players to be exposed to the black mist like this?” Su Ming’an asked.
“It’s okay for a while, but it’s hard to say after a long time.” Sibel said, “Although you are outsiders, your immunity to black fog is very low, but generally speaking, when your mental state is not bad At times, you can hold on for a long time without the soul stone, it will only make you mentally weak.”
Su Mingan understood.
It means that at the beginning of the game, everyone’s san value is quite high, and they can hold on for a while without the soul stone, and their san value will be deducted first if they are exposed to the black mist. But when the san value is low enough, and there is no soul stone, they can’t bear the curse.
That is, soul stone = san value retainer.
Su Mingan paid attention to the situation on the ground.
This is an area near the edge of the forest, and there are wooden fences set up by the hunter tribes to prevent wild animals. Not far away, fields, wheat, and scarecrows can be vaguely seen. Narrow dirt roads lie on the ground. Streams extend to all sides of the dark soil. Large swathes of golden wheat extend in a regular square to the distance. Like a dark golden carpet.
This should be the junction area between farmland and forest. You can vaguely see rows of two- and three-story buildings in the distance, as well as pigsties and chicken pens. This is a large farm that develops agriculture and animal husbandry at the same time.
And the blood-colored fireworks stayed right above this open space, and it still does not disperse until now. This seems to be a special signal prop that attracts players from all directions.
At present, there are a total of seven players present, and they are facing each other in the open space, and there should be some players hidden nearby.
They did not know who was sending the signal, and they were caught in a standoff as soon as they arrived, and without a mediator, it would be difficult for them to reach a peaceful consensus.
“Snapped!”
At this time, suddenly, a loud clapping sounded, which immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
The person who set off the fireworks finally appeared.
In the eyes of some nervous eyes, in the center of the open space, a bonfire suddenly lit up. A person emerges out of thin air in the light, like a shadow spliced by firelight.
There is a reassuring smile on his face as he lifts his head.
His charm is at least A, otherwise it will not let these top players relax a little.
His facial features are upright, with both the depth of the eyes of the West and the softness of the facial lines of the East. He is dressed in a pure white suit. When he appears bathed in light, he looks like a prince charming in a fairy tale.
Beside him, there is a leader who is covered in black robes. This is a smart way to make it impossible for others to judge the identity of the leader.
With a wave of his hand, the blood-colored fireworks in the sky suddenly disappeared.
“The mission of fireworks has ended here, thank you for being invited to come.” He said gently, bowing slightly to everyone.
“Lu. You set off fireworks to summon players to participate in this large-scale dungeon?” said a male player with a flashlight in the open space on the side.
Lu looked at the player who asked the question and smiled softly.
His whole body was bathed in brilliant firelight, and his sea-blue hair and fair cheeks were illuminated translucently.
“…Yes, I found the first large-scale dungeon. It can only be opened at night, and it can only be opened once. I think this kind of opportunity cannot be missed. It is better to gather everyone to share the opportunity – now there are twelve The players have already gathered, then, this large copy can also be opened.”
Lu raised his hand and looked at the blue disc floating in his hand like a GPS: “—the four friends hiding in the forest, since they are all here, can you come out and see? I believe, You are taking risks to go out at night, and you want to get some silver stars, instead of being a spectator all the time? That being the case, why don’t we try this large dungeon together?”
Su Mingan, who was squatting in the bushes, was slightly startled. He wore a sniper pistol [Wandering Night Walk] around his waist, which logically shouldn’t be easy to find.
…
Special Attribute [Night Walk]: Equipping this gun at night will automatically reduce the player’s sense of presence, and reduce the probability that other people’s detection skills will find the player.
…
He has never tried the passive skills that come with this gun, but the effect should be good, at least he has just walked all the way, and two or three players should have passed by him, and none of them found him.
He didn’t know the “four players hiding in the forest” mentioned in the intersection, Bao didn’t include him.
Lu looked around for a week and said loudly: “Four friends, the venue for this large-scale dungeon should be the farm in front. The opening time is ten minutes later. If you don’t want to miss the opportunity, please come out quickly.”
After Lu said this, three more players came out of the forest gradually.
Su Mingan knew Lu’s situation. This is a frequent visitor to the top ten of the leaderboard, and a top-level player with a unique style.
The most “unique” thing about Lu is that he is a player who likes to interact with the audience.
Normally, players at the top of the list can’t wait to put in 12 points of energy to pass the dungeon, and have no time to pay attention to the audience. But Lu is an exception. He not only chats with the audience often, but also treats the audience as a friend, and even gets to know many of the audience who live in the live broadcast room very well.
The most admirable thing is that when ordinary players chat with the audience, it is easy to be rhythmical or distorted, and then be brought into the whirlpool of public opinion between adventure players and casual players, causing a lot of quarrels. . But Lu happened to be an exception. When he chatted with the audience, the topic was always relaxed and harmonious. Even if someone mixed up a verbal trap in the barrage, he could easily avoid it.
Overall, he’s a natural streamer – a world game streamer.
Some adventure players are savvy and chatty, but Lu is strong and friendly, which makes his strength not the strongest, but the most popular one. It seems that all unfavorable public opinion topics are related to him. Walk around. Even at the end of the sixth world, the madness incident when the adventurer returned, did not have any negative relationship with him.
Su Ming’an believes that this kind of person who has both sides, and who seems to deal with power and public opinion lightly, is indeed much stronger than his ordinary student. Seeing Lu himself here, he was also a little surprised.
At present, eleven people have been present, and Su Mingan waited for a while, but no one appeared again.
“Is there a friend who can show up? The copy will start in two minutes.” Lu said with a smile.
…it was probably him.
Just as Su Mingan was about to stand up, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the side.
A young man with blond hair and blue eyes, followed by an arrogant leader, walked out with his arms folded and his posture was quite arrogant.
“Our last friend has appeared. Good evening, Aini, although we met in the dungeon for the first time.” Lu smiled.
“I thought Su Ming’an would be attracted by fireworks~www.mtlnovel.com~ What a pity, I didn’t wait for him.” Aini snorted.
“I was also surprised that the first player didn’t come. I heard that he appeared nearby during the day.” Lu said, “I thought I would be able to compete with him. I like his skill configuration very much. Also… I quite like him.”
“This coward is probably still staying in his room…” Aini sneered.
At this time, Su Mingan, who was still in the bushes, was watching the wandering night walking around his waist.
This [Night Walk] is passive and unexpectedly powerful, and he was actually not discovered by Lu’s seemingly powerful GPS prop.
“—Since everyone is ready, let’s start quickly.” Junko Jingxue, who was number 89 on the list, said in the open space.
She doesn’t want to compete with any number one player at all, she would rather maintain this lineup and start the dungeon quickly.
“Okay, then…” Lu Xiang stretched out his hand to the scarecrow next to him and touched the button to open the copy.
After opening the copy, he suddenly turned his head somewhat unexpectedly, his expression full of surprise.
