The little octopus clawed at the edge of the red bucket with its tentacles, trying hard to crawl out of it, staring at Zhou Zhou with its big moist eyes.

Zhou Zhou also lowered his head to stare at the little octopus. The pink and tender appearance was still so cute, and the chubby tentacles waved as if to greet him.After walking a few steps to the side of the captain, Zhou Zhou squatted down, his eyes were at the same level as the little octopus, and he stretched out his fingers to gently touch the head of the little octopus.

As if frightened by Zhou Zhou's bold action, the little octopus clinging to the bucket suddenly fell back into the bucket from the edge, splashing a few drops of water.Zhou Zhou continued to look into the bucket with his head stretched out. The little octopus with its teeth and claws was waving its tentacles in the bucket very lively.

Zhou Zhou's head was about to sink into the bucket, how could the captain not notice such an obvious movement.

He looked down at Zhou Zhou who seemed to want to get into the bucket, and stood aside with the bucket in hand, but Zhou Zhou squatted there and moved forward.

captain:"……"

In the end, he still put the bucket on the ground to show Zhou Zhou enough.

The players present seemed to be frightened by the sudden appearance of the captain, and no one spoke for a while.

Seeing everyone's surprise, the captain seemed to be still doubting his identity, and stroked his beard: "You just said that the dungeon I designed is abnormal?"

Seeing the captain standing here alive and talking to them, the players became more and more suspicious that they had fallen into hallucinations.

"Why don't you slap me, I'll see if I can wake up." A Jiang murmured to his companion next to him.

The companion stretched out his hands, and slapped both sides of A Jiang's cheeks. One slap was very fair, and neither side fell. The crisp sound brought everyone back to their senses: "Does it hurt?"

Ah Jiang's cheeks were flushed, and the red handprints on both sides of his cheeks were very symmetrical: "...It hurts so much!"

Keli looked at these people very speechless. Even if he fell into hallucinations, it is not difficult to simulate pain in the game, and it is not easy to wake up with two slaps.He shook his head and found that Zhou Zhou was still playing with the little octopus with great interest, while Al was watching Zhou Zhou playing with the little octopus. Neither of them had any intention of speaking.

Keli: "You said that Thing of the Deep was a copy of your design? So you designed yourself a captain character?"

Seeing that someone finally paid attention to him, the captain immediately laughed and said, "It's my design. How about it? Isn't it very creative."

A player didn't care if he was hallucinating or not, and said indignantly: "The exit of the customs clearance alone is beyond the imagination of normal people."

Others also echoed: "There are also loops and dead people floating over from the bottom of the sea. If we hadn't discovered something abnormal, wouldn't we have to spend the remaining days in the loop? I'm going to collapse mentally."

"Also, there is only one mainline item, and players are fighting for it. In the end, you have to give you the sword so that everyone can complete the mainline task. You just say it's inexplicable, who will snatch it away?The sword to the NPC?"

Everyone complained, thinking of swimming in the sea when the ship turned over at sea, fell into various traps on a ghost ship, was chased by skeletons, was forced to look at the corpses of various passengers in the seabed cycle, and was finally eaten by octopuses, who would thinkI feel bad even thinking about it.

The captain looked at everyone calmly and complained about the copy he had designed: "If you don't mess around on my ship, most of the plots just mentioned won't happen."

"..." It seems to be the same.

"What's the matter with the octopus? Seeing such a big monster, the first reaction of normal people is to run away. Who would have thought that the exit would be in the mouth of the octopus. Isn't this abnormal?"

The captain stroked his beard and said to himself, "Really? I still think this exit is very novel, and didn't you all pass the customs successfully?"

Player: Is that called successful customs clearance?Didn't he get caught?

Shirley didn't open her mouth all the time. Seeing that everyone suddenly started discussing the rationality of the dungeon with the captain, she couldn't help asking: "Isn't the game dungeon automatically generated by the system? Why was it designed by an uncle, and this uncle started the dungeon before the start of the dungeon?"Are you still selling boats here?"

The players who tried to argue with the captain also realized that something was wrong, stopped and looked at the captain suspiciously.

The captain stroked his beard, heard Shirley's question, and explained: "It's true that most copies of the game are automatically generated by the system, but there are still a small part designed by players. For example, the things in the deep sea are designed by myself., but few people were able to clear the level before this dungeon, even if there were only one or two. This time, more than ten people have cleared the level, and your settlement results are very high, of course I have to come out and see."

Keli found the key word in it: "You mean players can design their own copies?"

The captain nodded, with a smiling face and his bulging belly, he looked very kind: "When you accumulate more than one million points in the dungeon, you will become an intermediate player and you can design your own dungeon. Players inAmong the dungeons you design, the faster the various data such as mental power and brain domain value changes are improved, the more points the dungeon designer can get, which is far more than the points you can get by doing tasks in dungeons one by one."

Keli was puzzled: "I've never heard this statement in the game before."

"Hahaha, after all, the game has just started, so far no player has reached one million points."

"Then how did you become an intermediate player?"

The captain was a little proud: "I entered the game during the closed beta, and the accumulated points have only reached one million recently. The Thing of the Deep Sea is the first dungeon I designed."

The players expressed their knowledge and wanted to learn more from the captain. It turns out that they can not only do dungeon tasks, but also design dungeons by themselves.Frightened, suddenly there is motivation. If it is in the dungeon they designed by themselves, the player is scared and screams, wouldn't it be cool to watch... Hehehe.

Shirley quickly took a few steps back, what's going on with these people, what are they thinking?The expression is so strange.

Zhou Zhou was squatting on the ground with a little octopus crawling around in his hand. After hearing what the captain said, he finally understood that some of the content in it was in the previous conversation with Mo Lan, the resentful girl.I mentioned it, and asked him to make a copy as soon as possible to accumulate points.

It turns out that this is the case. After the level is improved, you can design your own dungeons, so the previous few dungeons were not only participated by real NPCs, but also designed by themselves?

But why don't most people in the game know about this?Even when Mo Lan told him, she only mentioned a little bit to ask him to make more dungeons to accumulate points, and that the points marked with black stars will increase faster.

Zhou Zhou thought of this, so he naturally asked.

The captain has a very good personality and answers all questions: "Because the game server has not been launched for a long time, many people don't even have 10,000 points for resurrection. The content about the upgrade will probably be announced after a while."

Zhou Zhou blinked and asked doubtfully, "Then can you tell us in advance?"

The captain was taken aback for a moment, and the hand stroking his beard stopped: "...it seems not to be possible."

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly disappeared in place.

"Where are people? Offline?"

"Why did you leave without saying hello?"

"Is it really an illusion?"

Alvia: "It should be banned from logging in."

The ranking system is indeed not announced to the players until the ranking list is released, so the captain who carelessly told the players about the ranking system may not be able to log in for a short time, and even if he can log in, he will be banned.

Alvia is not very clear about the details of the game, but Zeus often talks about it, and he also knows the general situation.

The players looked at each other: "So you can't say shit about the game? Hey? Why is the sound muted?"

"It seems that we really can't say it. Forget it. During this period of time, let's accumulate points well. It is estimated that after a while, when some players' points reach the standard, it will be announced."

The players agreed.

Zhou Zhou was still squatting on the ground, looking at the location where the captain disappeared, and then at the little octopus in his hand, a little dumbfounded.

The captain is gone, so what about the little octopus?

He looked at Alvia: "Do you know when the captain will come back?"

Alvia shook her head: "I don't know how long the system will be banned. The shortest is an hour or two, and the longest is a few days."

The level system and dungeon design of the Nightmare City are no secret to a small number of beta players. Although they only account for a very small proportion of all beta players, and they are prohibited from revealing in advance in the game, they are alwaysSomeone got the news from various sources.Therefore, for the captain to reveal the news in advance, the prohibition time should not be very long.

Zhou Zhou looked at the little octopus: "Okay then, I'll wait here for him to come back."

After all, if he left, what if the captain came back later and couldn't find the little octopus? Now that he is away, he doesn't know the other party's contact information, so he can only try to wait here for him.

Shirley: "Zhou Zhou, there's no need to wait here. If he doesn't come online in a few days, don't you have to wait here for a few days? Anyway, he said before that he only has such a copy, so he will come back sooner or later.Come here, not to mention he is still selling boats here? Come here every day, sooner or later you will meet."

Zhou Zhou also knew it, but he still insisted: "I'll wait here first, in case he comes back later. If I can't wait, then I will take the little octopus back and come to him tomorrow.”

After adding contact information with the rest of the players, Zhou Zhou put the little octopus back into the bucket, and then sat on a small bench by the lake with the bucket in hand.root fishing rod.

The players have all left. Shirley and Keli originally wanted to wait with Zhou Zhou, but they spent too long in the dungeon. They had to go offline and go back to eat, so they had to make an appointment to come back after dinner.Accompany him.

In the end, only Alvia was left beside her.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Zhou Zhou asked.

Alvia: "Go later."

"Then do you want to sit?" Looking around, he found that there was only a small bench here, so Zhou Zhou moved to the side, leaving half of it for him.

The small bench is rectangular, slightly longer than the general square stool, and it is just right for the chubby captain to sit on.But if two adults are sitting on a stool, it is estimated that they must be close together so as not to fall.

Alvia: "...No need."

"Oh." Zhou Zhou moved back to the center again, looking down at the little octopus crawling around in the bucket.

Alvia herself was not a talkative person, and Zhou Zhou was uncharacteristically seldom talking at this time, so there was a sudden silence between the two, only the sound of the little octopus paddling water could be heard clearly.

After a while, Zhou Zhou stared at the little octopus and said suddenly: "Ai Er, you said that if you are eliminated in the dungeon, you will die."

Alvia looked at the lake in the distance, heard Zhou Zhou's question, and replied, "There are resurrection items."

Zhou Zhou lowered his head and hummed: "Yes."

He never thought about this problem before the dungeon of the thing in the deep sea. After all, the previous dungeon has been going smoothly, and the player died in the dungeon, and the people around him seemed very calm.For them, being eliminated means either going offline or being resurrected at the resurrection point.

But what about him?If he is eliminated in the dungeon, it should be impossible to go offline. Can he be resurrected at the resurrection point?

When they were still in the cave under the sea, Ajiang died because his life value was zero. His companion said that death in the game is also a kind of death.Then, as an alien that appeared in the game, will he be resurrected like other players or will he really die and never appear again?

Zhou Zhou didn't know.

"You said that if the NPC in the dungeon dies, it will be resurrected?" Zhou Zhou asked again.

Alvia turned her gaze from the lake in the distance to Zhou Zhou: "The NPC is set by the system. Even if it dies, it will be refreshed next time. Of course it will be resurrected."

This sentence gave Zhou Zhou a little comfort.That's right, after all, he can earn points in the game to do tasks, maybe it's like what Al said, even if he dies, he will be resurrected.

Zhou Zhou raised his head and smiled at Alvia, only to find that Alvia was looking at him with a frown, his eyes full of inquiry.

Zhou Zhou:!

Why do you look at him like this?

Zhou Zhou stared at Alvia with staring eyes. At this moment, he suddenly remembered something. In the dungeon, Al knew that he couldn't swim. Could it be that he had already discovered his identity??

Zhou Zhou: ToT

Help!How to go round?

Is it too late for him to say he's allergic to water so he can't swim?

The author has something to say:
