Chapter 13
The author has something to say: the amount of information in the copy is very large, everyone should not ignore it, otherwise you will think how this article is unfolding...
watch!
It's a watch, and all players have a watch on them. Although some players did not wear a watch at first, after a few days of experience, they all consciously pulled out the watch.
It turns out that players with a watch will indeed be a lot more convenient. And sometimes, the watch can also help players escape. For example, in the swimming pool yesterday, if there was no watch, Ye Xu might have been planted long ago.
Now he can't care about that much. Even though he knew that without the help of the watch in the future, he might be unable to do anything, but Ye Xu still took off the watch without a word. He happened to run past a long table, and he put the watch on the table. Maybe after the experience is over, he can come over and find the watch again.
Then, he shook off the NPC who was chasing him, and quickly plunged into the crowd, intending to start acting as an ordinary NPC.
After relaxing, Ye Xu looked around to check the situation. He wasn't sure if the ghost NPCs could remember his face, so he had to be vigilant. If the NPC who had just chased him appeared nearby, he would have to leave quietly.
At this time, he saw the pair of seniors before, and then moved towards the gate.
They are more experienced than Ye Xu, and have already taken off their watches. They were very bold, and they carefully avoided those ghost NPCs and went out through the door. Unlike Ye Xu, who only dared to hide in the crowd and did not dare to go to conspicuous places.
Ye Xu looked at them from a distance, sweating for them in his heart.
The door was locked and there was no way to get out. Their operation itself is dangerous, and they are destined to gain nothing. If they are accidentally discovered, it will be miserable.
"I found you." Just as Ye Xu was paying close attention to there, a hand stretched out behind him and pressed it on his shoulder.
Ye Xu widened his eyes suddenly, and turned back to face a strange smiling face.
It was an NPC he had never seen before!
Oops, found out.
Ye Xu immediately understood that the NPC didn't use the watch to locate the player at all, it was something else. But he couldn't think of what it would be for a while, and could only struggle subconsciously.
No matter what, he must find a way to break free now, or it will be all over.
But the NPC's hands were so powerful that Ye Xu couldn't break free no matter how hard he struggled. After a few seconds, another NPC came out of the crowd, helped hold Ye Xu down, and took out a dagger.
Ye Xu's eyes widened, unable to escape.
In the end, he fell to the ground weakly, and what he saw in his eyes was that the senior team opened the door, walked out, and successfully escaped from this dangerous place.
——After the tour guide threw the player without a dance partner out, the door was not locked at all when closing the door for the second time!
It's a pity that Ye Xu has no chance to regret anymore. The noise in his ears and the pain in his chest disappeared at the same time. He slowly closed his eyes and waited for his consciousness to dissipate.
ten minutes later.
Ye Xu pondered, how could he still be conscious? It can't be resurrected again, can it? Are escape games so generous now?
He waited for another two minutes to make sure that he was indeed still conscious, and hesitantly opened his eyes, and what he saw was not the gorgeous chandelier in the banquet hall, but the white ceiling lamps and stucco ceilings.
Ye Xu got up in a hurry, all the familiar interior decorations as far as his eyes could see. Although he hasn't lived here long, the home decor of the place is his own choice.
Here, is his private lounge in the main god space.
Every time he survives in the world until the end of the game, he will be teleported back here. This is a room with no doors and windows closed on all sides, and there is only one room, less than 30 square meters, but it is enough for one person.
Ye Xu looked around in confusion, he was obviously dead, and he didn't clear the game at all, why was he sent back? Shouldn't death be obliterated?
The last time he was not obliterated, but was directly resurrected in the cruise world, he was very surprised. But this time he was "resurrected" again, Ye Xu thought to himself, can't he be a bug in the game?
Ye Xu was a little panicked.
If it's a serious player, it's nothing. However, once it becomes a bug in the game, it is estimated that the end will be even worse after being discovered.
Fortunately, it didn't make him panic for too long, and a virtual screen appeared in front of Ye Xu.
As in the past after returning from the game world, there is a line of large characters on the screen: "Welcome back to the main god space!" Then, the screen should jump to the main interface, with two buttons. One is to check the game clearance rules, and the other is the points mall.
After the customs clearance rules are opened, there is only one sentence: after experiencing ten worlds, you can completely clear the customs and be resurrected in reality. And there are more things in the points store, and a message will pop up to tell you how many points you got in the last game. Then you can choose a category in the mall, find the item you need and redeem it with points.
This time, the interface that appeared in front of Ye Xu's eyes was completely different from before.
It is no longer the lowest version interface in the early 21st century, but a new and exquisite style interface in 2018. There are beautiful typography, coloring and illustrations, a variety of operation buttons and function options, and a considerate "beginner's guide" tutorial, which teaches Ye Xu how to use the system step by step.
Ye Xu was completely dumbfounded.
What is this stuff……
After following the beginner's tutorial to understand all the functions of the complete system, Ye Xu opened the message button that was always showing red ③ bubbles in a daze. There are three unread messages in the message area, and Ye Xu's obsessive-compulsive disorder makes Ye Xu look uncomfortable, so he has to click it off.
After clicking, he opened the bottom message in order.
[Dear Awakeners Hello, welcome to use the Awakened's exclusive portable system! →Please click here← to learn about the information about the Awakened, so that you can better complete the task in the future, thank you for your cooperation! 】
Awakened? It sounds like a small private private organization that opposes the Lord God, secretly messing around with things, trying to mess with the Lord God to seek freedom and liberation.
Ye Xu opened the connection with a skeptical attitude, and was not optimistic about this small organization at all. But soon, he found himself wanting to go wrong.
The so-called Awakened is not a shady existence at all, but the classification and positioning of a certain part of the players by the game official.
Awakened: Players who have successfully cleared the game once in the escape game and experienced two deaths after that meet the conditions for awakening and can become an awakened. Awakened people need to go to various worlds to play ghost NPCs and complete the tasks issued by the Lord God.
Play, act, ghost, monster, class, NPC!
What does this mean? This shows that the ghosts Ye Xu encountered in the game before are very likely all played by awakened people, and they are not serious ghosts at all!
Ye Xu's whole body was about to explode, and this information made him completely unable to calm down.
It's like living alone in a haunted house and being frightened and chased by ghosts every day. As a result, one day, the ghost suddenly stopped chasing you, and said to you: "I'm sorry, brother, I'm not a ghost, I'm a ghost. Now we decided not to scare you, you come to mess with me, let's Let's scare others together!"
Would normal people be ecstatic to accept it? Certainly not, anyway, Ye Xu has only one idea right now - hacking to death the group of Awakened who had frightened him and killed him twice.
Ye Xu felt that he was a fool before, being played around by the game and the Awakened. Worrying about this worrying about that all day long is all fake.
Knowing this, why did he bother to clear customs? He just sits and waits for death, anyway, he can be resurrected infinitely, and he can also become an awakened person.
"It's not." A voice suddenly sounded in his ear, almost startling Ye Xu again.
But this time, someone was not pretending to be a ghost, and a dialog box with voice enabled also popped up on the system interface. Obviously, the voice came from the other end.
"Cough, sorry, I accidentally overheard your curse just now. I made a voice call to you two minutes ago, and you never agreed, and the system automatically connected. Now let me introduce myself, I am an Awakener, a Your senior, who just took the task of instructing the novice, came to explain some rules related to the Awakened to you, so that you don't understand the rules just by reading the text."
Ye Xu calmed down slowly. The opposite was a girl with a nice voice. As a big man, he couldn't lose his temper at a girl who was likely to have no grievances with him. So Ye Xu tried his best to soften his tone and greeted the other party.
The girl paused and said, "Then I'll start working? I'll explain the basic rules first. If you don't understand anything, you can ask questions after I've said it. First of all, not all players will become awakeners and must clear the level. One game, otherwise, the memory of the failed world will be continuously cleared, and the next world will be thrown into the trial again, until the game is cleared."
Therefore, players who die as soon as they come up will not be able to be resurrected directly until they die, otherwise it will be too unfair. They have to clear the game at least once before they have the right to be resurrected with memories.
After clearing the level once, the next time you die accidentally, you will be resurrected with memory. When you die accidentally for the second time, you can become an awakened person and participate in the activities of playing NPC.
Because if they were resurrected as players in the game for the second time, all fools knew that the death of the game was no big deal. At that time, the news will definitely not be concealed, and all players will know the truth and will be passive.
The daily task of the awakened is to play the role of NPC. They need to try their best to intimidate the player, or stimulate the player, so that the player has a strong emotion. For example, fear, anger, etc., because when the player is emotionally intense, a lot of energy will be generated.
The game needs to absorb this energy in order to run all the time, and provide those good things in the points mall, and even help the player revive. If the game stops without energy, then all players will die completely, and it is no longer possible to maintain this "half-dead" state, let alone waiting for the opportunity to revive.
After hearing this, the anger in Ye Xu's heart subsided.
If you want to be resurrected, you have to give. The struggle of the players in the escape game is not considered to be paid at all. This is not an equivalent transaction, but a cruel selection, which is very unfair.
Because, on the surface, they don't offer the game any benefit at all, but the game promises to bring them back to life.
Can you say that their contribution is to entertain ghosts and serve ghosts as lunch? The latter one is not a living veteran, but a dead player. But it is the seniors who are resurrected, not those who paid the price.
So the truth that know now is more acceptable to people. If the previous fear and anger were the price players had to pay for resurrection, Ye Xu could accept it.
Compared with resurrection, he felt that this little play was not worth mentioning. Moreover, he also thinks that he has earned it.
He paid what he could easily do, but resurrection was an almost impossible miracle for him.
