An accident turned Jian Yue into a streamer in an infinitely thrilling survival game. Among the awakened abilities of top streamers, his survival ability was—gossip.
Audience: "Hahaha, ...
Chapter 160 turns into a thriller in an instant, Your Majesty!
When Jian Yue opened his eyes again, he was in the hall.
The system's voice sounded after a long time: "The player has completed all the side quests of the dungeon "Puppet Man". The reward points for this dungeon are 100,000 points, but some points were deducted because he failed to leave the specified dream core channel. The actual total points received are 70,000 points. The total points in the account are now 420,000 points."
Jian Yue didn't have time to feel the pain yet.
The system refreshed again: "Players who complete the hidden branch quest "The Heart of the Puppet" will obtain an SSR-level item, [Puppet Cone]. This item can be used once in subsequent dungeons, and can be used to temporarily hide oneself in wood."
Another special item.
Jian Yue looked at the things in his prop column, which included props from Wanfu Village and Hope Island. These things could prove that everything he had experienced there was true, and everything about him and Xiaoyu was real.
These things are more important to him than the few points deducted.
Jian Yue put away the panel.
The hall still had four pillars. He chose the Moon Realm teleportation ship and while waiting for the ship, he checked the many text messages received on the information terminal.
Most of them are Li Meng and Tiantian.
The two of them have each entered a copy. The most recent message was two days ago. The two decided to form a team to go to the next copy. They left a safety message for themselves, asking if this copy went smoothly.
Jian Yue replied to the message: I'm fine, I have come out of the copy safely, don't worry.
Nightmare world is like this.
Perhaps every copy is the last call with friends, and Jian Yue is now slowly trying to get used to it.
The information terminal jumped again.
It’s Aya, they added the contact information in the copy.
Aya said, "Butler Wang, are you out yet?"
Jian Yue replied to her: "I'm out."
In fact, he had been in the copy for at least ten years, and a lot of time must have passed outside as well. Jian Yue estimated that it was impossible for Aya to reply to him immediately.
Who knows.
Aya replied almost immediately: "Great! You're still alive!"
Jian Yue guessed that she had never played a dungeon with him before, and thought that he might be doomed if he didn't enter the passage.
"I'm fine." Jian Yue replied to her.
Aya said, "Where are you? The new people you rescued all want to see you. Wang Wenwen is also here."
Jian Yue thought that Wang Wenwen probably had a lot to say to him after experiencing this kidnapping, so he said, "I'm in the Moon Realm Hall."
Aya said directly: "We will wait for you at the square."
Jian Yue just got on the boat. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but compared to the first time he got on the boat, there seemed to be more people queuing up to get on the boat. Standing at the side of the boat, he could hear some players chatting around him.
"Brother, are you going to the Moon Realm too?"
"Yes, I'm a newbie and just passed two copies."
"Me too, me too."
"Why do you want to go to the Moon Realm?"
"I watched Butler Wang's live broadcast. He is from the Moon Realm."
"Yeah, me too. If something happens to a newcomer in the Moon Realm, their guild will send someone to rescue him. I think that's reliable. Although I heard that things aren't going well here, I still want to come and take a look!"
Everyone was talking at once.
Jian Yue discovered that several newcomers mentioned him.
But I don’t seem to have joined a guild?
After the boat docked, Jian Yue got off the boat and walked to a restaurant near the lobby according to the location provided by Aya and others.
Everyone's image outside the nightmare world is different.
A girl with pigtails who looked like a student was sitting at a table in the distance. She waved to him, "Here!"
Jian Yue walked over and said, "Aya?"
"It's me." The little girl smiled with canine teeth. In the dungeon, she was clearly a capable woman like a queen. She pointed at the burly man opposite her who looked like a bodyguard and said, "Wang Wenwen."
Jian Yue: “…”
No?
What I mean is, this boy who wears glasses and is so thin that he looks like he would be blown down by a gust of wind in the dungeon, looks like this outside the dungeon?
Wang Wenwen's voice was rough and powerful, but her eyes were red, and she rushed over: "Benefactor!"
Jian Yue was almost strangled to death by him: "You...wait a minute..."
"My benefactor!" Wang Wenwen cried with a hoarse voice and red eyes: "I will work like a slave for you in the future and I will never forget your kindness!"
Jian Yue finally took a breath and said, "I understand the truth. Let me go first. I can't breathe."
Wang Wenwen finally reacted and let go.
Jian Yue was finally able to catch his breath. He looked at Wang Wenwen and said, "How come you have so much strength? I can't even see it in the dungeon."
Shouldn't the card given by this kind of person be innate supernatural power? How could it be invisibility?
Wang Wenwen scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I was born very burly, and my academic performance was not good. My father always scolded me for being useless. When I go out, many people think I look fierce and ferocious, so I don't have many friends."
Jian Yue sat down at the table and said, "A person's usefulness cannot be judged by his academic performance. Maybe he is just more talented in other aspects. You don't have to care too much about other people's opinions."
Wang Wenwen said in a hoarse voice: "Yes!"
Jian Yue: “…”
Has this child always been like this?
Aya couldn't stop laughing. After everyone sat down, she said, "After Nangong Xi came out, she went into the dungeon with Li Meng and the others. I guess we won't see each other until next time."
They knew each other when they were on Hope Island, so it's normal that they have a good relationship.
Especially Nangong Xi, after experiencing this kidnapping incident, he was very scared and didn't dare to go into the dungeon alone again, so when he heard that Li Meng and Tiantian were going in, he followed them immediately.
Aya said: "They are actually very brave girls. It is not easy to fight alone in the nightmare world. I have considered inviting them to join the guild, but Li Meng and the others want to ask for your opinion after you come out."
When Jian Yue arrived, he ordered food on the table. He bit into a piece of bread and said, "I won't interfere with anyone's wishes. As long as they want to join the guild, they are free. If they are not there when I enter the dungeon, please tell them for me."
He had only helped out in the dungeon out of convenience, and he had no intention of requiring anyone to obey his instructions and orders after they came out.
Wang Wenwen immediately said in a rough voice: "Wherever you go, Steward Wang, I will go!"
Jian Yue was almost choked by this amazing remark. He glanced at Wang Wenwen and said, "You are free too."
If Aya had never entered the dungeon together, she would only think that Jian Yue was good at winning people's hearts. But now she more or less understood that these newcomers, who entered the dungeon for the first time, were basically pulled back from the brink of life and death by Jian Yue. It was not just as simple as a fledgling complex.
But in the dungeon, having a teammate who will not abandon you when facing a life-and-death situation is more important than anything else.
You can trust him with all your heart, you can live and die with him, you can trust him unconditionally, and even give your life to him.
There was no one who was unwilling to follow him.
He really doesn't need to join a guild, because wherever he is, people will gather around him. Even if he never shows himself, he is the backbone of everyone.
You can always trust him.
Aya said seriously, "Butler Wang, I also want to invite you to join our guild."
Jian Yue looked at her.
"Our guild is called Moonlight, and it's the only guild in the Moon Realm. It used to be a very large guild, but it has declined in recent years. But the people in the guild are very nice." Aya was a little nervous: "It would be great if you could come."
Jian Yue bit the cake and drank a mouthful of soup. After swallowing it, he finally felt less hungry. Then he said, "You don't have to say so much. I know it should be pretty good. The fact that you can save the newcomers in your union when they are in trouble proves that it is pretty good."
Aya smiled and said, "Isn't this as it should be? The meaning of the guild is that everyone helps each other."
Jian Yue said: "But I am used to being alone, and I don't have any thoughts of joining a group yet. If I do, I will contact you."
Aya breathed a sigh of relief, at least there was still hope!
"Okay." She smiled. "Then I'll wait."
Jian Yue also smiled. Joining the guild meant having companions. Although having companions was good, it also meant that perhaps his companions would risk their lives or sacrifice themselves for him in some dangerous moments.
He didn't want to implicate anyone.
Aya asked: "So what are your plans next?"
Jian Yue finished his meal and put down his bowl. He thought for a moment and said, "I still need some points to upgrade my card. I want to accumulate points quickly."
Aya already knew that Jian Yue also had a gold card when she released the dungeon this time.
Upgrading a gold card is much more difficult than upgrading other cards. The points alone are an astronomical figure, which is really unaffordable.
"If you want to accumulate points quickly, you can try challenging some more difficult dungeons." Aya suggested, "Recently, a mode has just been released in the lobby that is suitable for quickly earning points."
Jian Yue asked: "What mode?"
Aya said: "After entering this dungeon, some negative buffs may be randomly refreshed to train the tasker, but the points after the dungeon is settled will be doubled."
Jian Yue sneered: "Negative buff? If it's a fatal buff, wouldn't it be terrible? Even if the points are doubled, I won't go."
Aya added: "It may also drop items that can upgrade cards for free."
Jian Yue: “…”
There was a moment of silence in the air.
Under Aya's gaze, Jian Yue coughed lightly and said, "But if you think about it carefully, this can also be regarded as training the character and ability of the tasker. The props or not are not the most important. What I value most is experience and ability!"
Aya: “…”
Stop pretending to be Butler Wang!
Your saliva almost drools when you hear the props!
Jian Yue found out the registration method and started to think about it.
Wang Wenwen also wanted to go, but Aya stopped him and said, "Don't go. This dungeon is quite difficult and not suitable for a newcomer like you."
"But Butler Wang seems to be a newcomer as well." Wang Wenwen said.
Aya said, "But he has much more pressure than you. He is a gold card, so he is more dangerous wherever he goes. The extinct monsters who want to take his card are also eyeing him covetously. He must retain more points and upgrade his card quickly to be safer."
So Aya understood that for Jian Yue, since every copy was an adventure, it would be better to choose the one with the greatest benefit.
What she never expected was.
Wang Wenwen looked at Jian Yue who was bargaining for clothes at a stall not far away and choked up: "Why do I feel that... Butler Wang is just trying to save some money?"
Aya followed his gaze and fell silent when she saw Jian Yue bargaining eloquently for 10 points.
There is no way to refute it!!
Wang Wenwen said, "Butler Wang, you must have worked very hard in this dungeon. I guess you should take a good rest for a few days, right?"
Aya looked at Jian Yue's back not far away and sighed, "Compared to these, I don't know what happened to him in there later, but it should be unforgettable. But after leaving the copy, he seemed to be fine, which made me a little uncertain."
But really…
Is everything ok?
As for Jian Yue, after dinner he returned to his assigned house and fell asleep immediately. After two days of sound sleep, he finally felt that he had regained some strength.
It was quiet inside.
The moment Jian Yue sat up from the bed, he subconsciously looked towards the door. After waiting quietly for a while, he was sure that no one would push the door open and call him for dinner.
The person on the bed relaxed for a long time.
Jian Yue slowly sat up, turned on the light in the room, walked to the window to look at the moon for a while, stood by the window for a long time, and after returning to the bed, he still felt very tired, but tossed and turned.
After a long time.
The door was opened, making a crisp sound in the quiet night.
Jian Yue walked to the tree outside the house and sat down under the tree. The leaves rustled in the wind and he leaned against the tree and fell asleep.
next day
Jian Yue, who had slept for three whole days, reappeared in the hall.
There are still many players in the lobby as usual. The new mode recently introduced by the system has attracted the interest of many players, but the negative buffs that may be randomly obtained have also scared away many people.
Many people are discussing:
"What kind of buff will it be?"
“I don’t know.”
"I heard it could be dangerous."
"Those who dare to play are probably desperadoes."
"But the reward props are too rich."
"Do you dare to go?"
"I dare not..."
Jian Yue was waiting for the mode to start, and someone walked up to him and said, "Dude, you're here, don't you want to join in?"
He is a middle-aged man who is a bit fat.
The man said, "I know everything. I know all the gossip here. Since you look kind, how about I give you some inside information?"
Jian Yue was not fooled: "Does it cost money?"
The man smiled and said, "My friend is really a smart guy. He can get inside information with just a little money. This is a huge profit!"
Jian Yue refused: "No."
The man was anxious, and he said quickly: "Then let me give you credit. If what I say is right after you enter the dungeon, you can pay me back when you come out."
Jian Yue thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead."
The man breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was not easy to do business here. He said, "This time, the negative buff dungeon may have many random negative effects. I heard that it may extend the card cooldown time, and other players may see your identity when you use the card. Of course, the more serious thing is that your memory will be sealed, and you will think you are a newcomer and don't have the experience of the previous dungeon."
Jian Yue frowned: "Memory?"
The man looked at his reaction and said, "Are you scared? Don't be afraid. This is all random."
Jian Yue thought about it and said, "That's right."
The man smiled and said, "Then give me a good price when you come back."
Jian Yue said: "If it's true, I will."
The man patted his shoulder contentedly: "Good brother! I believe in you!"
As soon as he left.
The players around came over and said, "You were also deceived by him. Many of us know this news. There is no charge at all."
Jian Yue smiled and said, "It should be a good relationship."
After all, many people here know about it, but no one will tell him about it. He feels more at ease with the price clearly marked.
Jian Yue sat there for a while, and suddenly opened the system package. He saw props one by one. These were things left over from past copies. After he looked at them one by one, he closed them again.
A mechanical voice came from the hall: "The random dungeon mode is about to start. This dungeon mode is special. It will reward special items and double points. All negative effects are random. Please be prepared for all the taskers entering this dungeon."
The mechanical voice repeated three times.
But it made many players feel scared.
After all, this is a life-threatening situation.
When the panel could be opened, Jian Yue hesitated for a moment before choosing to confirm. No matter which copy it was, there was no absolute safety, so it was better to choose the one with a higher reward.
Almost instantaneous.
The huge suction force sucks people in.
Jian Yue could only hear the mechanical voice of the system ringing in his ears: [Number 543 Moon Realm Resident has been loaded successfully. The negative buff for this instance is being randomly assigned to you. Please wait... This buff has been determined. All players who enter this instance will temporarily have their past instance experience and records frozen.]
Hearing this buff, Jian Yue cursed in his heart.
When you wake up again.
The system's mechanical voice continued: "Loading the task panel for this copy for you."
[Instance name: "The Innocent Princess is Hot, the Domineering Emperor Please Make Way"]
[Player Identity: Eunuch Prince]
[Main Quest: Find out the truth about the extermination of the Xue family, fulfill their last wish, and repair the plot of the main world.]
Tips: [Current health value is 45%. If the health value is less than 1%, the player will die. Please increase the health value in time. Please increase the health value in time! ]
The man who had just woken up was silent for a long time.
He seemed to be still digesting this matter.
The person whose copy memories were sealed had a solemn look on his face, which made the system wonder if he was frightened by the sudden task.
Jian Yue looked at the pop-up interface and slowly said, "Fortunately, I was given the identity of a little prince, not a little princess. But am I really a eunuch? I have no intention of castrating myself for the time being."
system:"……"
This person's attention span is always a mystery.
Jian Yue felt around for a while and made sure that all his functions were still normal. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief after he made sure that he had not castrated himself.
Checking now.
A stern voice came from outside: "Where are the people? Where have they gone? Gather quickly. Delivering things to the palaces is the most important thing this time! If you can't do it well, I will make all of you lose your heads!"
At this moment, everyone in the room ran outside.
Jian Yue also ran.
There was no way he couldn't run away. After all, everyone was running and he couldn't get any special treatment.
A group of young eunuchs wearing grey clothes and hats gathered from all over. The eunuch who led the scolding was the best dressed. He paced slowly, and his pair of vicious eyes swept over each young eunuch as if he wanted to eat them.
"You are all so careless." The leading eunuch sneered and said, "If you lose your head while doing your job, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
No one dared to speak and could only stand there obediently.
The leading eunuch finally said, "The things from the internal affairs have been delivered. You are responsible for delivering them to various places. This batch is for the prince, this batch is sent to the harem, and this batch..."
After batches of people ordered.
The leading eunuch finally pointed at Jian Yue's team and said, "You go and send them to Liuqing Palace!"
Jian Yue and the others quickly followed orders and went to take the plates. The eunuch in front of him walked too slowly and was even kicked by the leading eunuch. He cursed angrily, "Why are you walking so slowly? Do you want to die?"
The young eunuch was kicked to the ground and was in so much pain that he couldn't get up. The kick was so strong that someone with a weak body might have been kicked to death, but no one here cared.
The leading eunuch looked vicious: "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and get your things!"
The others could only quickly pull the person up, take the plate and move forward.
Jian Yue and others took the plates. The eunuch walking in front of him was limping a little, but he still managed to hold on.
The path in the palace was extended.
A little further ahead, a eunuch whispered, "Are you okay?"
The young eunuch walking in front of Jian Yue cried and said, "It hurts so much. Where on earth is this place? I was just buying a cake on the road and was hit by a car. How did I end up here? There is also some system that sends me tasks..."
"Me too!" said another young eunuch, "I was clearly in the hospital, I don't know why I'm here!"
About three young eunuchs spoke.
Jian Yue listened quietly. He was a dull and withdrawn person to begin with. He only thought to himself that he was not the only one who received the system panel.
Are there other taskers in this world?
Will their mission be the same as mine? Can I trust them?
Just thinking about it.
The group passed by the Imperial Garden, where flowers were in full bloom. A distant voice came: "The Emperor has arrived!"
All the slaves walking in the garden knelt down.
Jian Yue and his group didn't understand why, so they knelt down as well. This dynasty was ruled by imperial power, and if they didn't accept it, they would really die. The imperial power was strict, and even if they didn't understand, they knew that they couldn't act differently.
There were footsteps in the distance.
The emperor's procession was very grand.
Jian Yue lowered his head, wondering what the emperor looked like. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a noise coming from not far away. It was a woman's soft cry.
The emperor said, "Damn it, don't you have eyes?"
The woman hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, spare my life."
Everyone heard the deep and elegant male voice sneer, majestic but oppressive: "Woman, you have successfully attracted my attention."
Everyone was wondering if this was a romantic scene. After all, wasn’t this a romantic copy of an ancient Chinese novel?
Then the emperor said, "Take her away and chop her off."
Everyone:?!
Damn! This has turned into a thriller in a second, Your Majesty!
