Chapter 51 Flower Scroll (1)

After leaving the club, Gu Qiufeng and Yu Chiang looked at each other and asked, "Xiaoyu, how much do you trust this prophet?"

"Before, my trust in her should be around 90%. But that was when our interests did not conflict. Now she has taken the initiative and urgently sought out the senior. If there is no reasonable reason for this behavior, it will make people suspicious." Yu Chi'ang said, "Now, my trust in her is around 50%."

Gu Qiufeng asked curiously, "You trusted her so much before, is it because fortune tellers often do things that convince people?"

"Yes. And because of her skills, she is of great relevance to human players. Although the reputation of the Third Guild behind the Prophet has always been mixed, many people will still open up some convenient channels for the Third Guild in some aspects because of Duan Chouyu's favor." Yu Chi'ang said, "Duan Chouyu is a touchstone for the Third Guild. But if she insists on cooperating with senior, the deeper meaning behind it cannot be ignored."

"Is it Duan Chouyu who wants to cooperate with senior, or is it the Third Guild's intention?"

Gu Qiufeng shrugged, "Let's make the best of it. I think you don't need to worry so much, Xiaoyu. What's true won't be false, and what's false won't be true. And since Duan Chouyu has the confidence to say the name of tomorrow's copy, there is a very interesting paradox."

"No matter what happens tomorrow, I may not be able to escape this copy of Hanamaki."

Yu Chiang was speechless and said: "But the probability is so small..."

"Not small anymore. This crappy game isn't written in rigid code, it's alive. It's very clear who this brand new dungeon game is targeting in this game. It's not just me," Gu Qiufeng said thoughtfully, "I guess I'll run into a lot of old acquaintances in the dungeon."

Time was urgent before, and the incident of the Divine Tear White Whale might have a much greater impact on normal human players than Gu Qiufeng himself imagined. There were still many things that were not clear, so Gu Qiufeng did not tell Yu Chiang everything he encountered in the D City world copy, so as to avoid him worrying about it.

But speaking of the information Duan Chouyu revealed to them, it was hard for Gu Qiufeng not to think of this famous copy update that annihilated all A-level players.

Moreover, there is something more worth exploring.

Shenlei and Baijing were the top players back then. Regardless of the game rating and dungeon difficulty, they all obtained A-level player qualifications and successfully entered City A. In such a detailed comparison, today's top players such as Xie Songjin and Yu Chiang are far less powerful than they were back then.

But the game seems to have chosen a similar approach.

A brand new copy that appeared before the major copy update.

Duan Chouyu did not say this explicitly, but Gu Qiufeng thought that it was not just him who couldn't escape, all the well-known A-level players would probably have to go through such a dungeon.

Duan Chouyu's initiative to form a team was just to show a stance.

Her position as a prophet.

Duan Chouyu, who can see the future of mankind and even make certain decisions to save human players, conveyed a message to Gu Qiufeng in an extremely obscure and wise way.

If anything unexpected happens in the new copy, she will stand on Gu Qiufeng's side first for the sake of humanity and the game.

This is also one of Gu Qiufeng’s current trump cards.

Gu Qiufeng said: "Instead of doubting our compatriots, why don't we first think about the novelty of this new copy?"

"Let's go to Changyu Tavern to discuss first." Yu Chi'ang said.

Flower roll.

This is the copy name Duan Chouyu gave them.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a noodle breakfast snack." Gu Qiufeng said, "Using food as the copy name, Xiaoyu, in your opinion, is there anything unique about it?"

Yu Chiang said, "It's probably not something to eat."

He recalled carefully, and then said: "If Duan Chouyu didn't have an accent, her last word would have fallen on the fourth tone."

"Ah. Duan Chouyu works in the pure northern city A, and is a civil servant. Even if her memory is lost in the game, her instinct should not be gone." Gu Qiufeng said, "I tend to think that she has no accent."

"Juan means books, calligraphy and paintings, archives, and test papers." Yu Chi'ang said, "Hua should be a qualifier in some aspects. Putting aside the metaphor, just talking about the surface, it means plant organs."

Gu Qiufeng said: "Paper documents related to flowers. I don't know if it's because I haven't experienced many dungeons, but I feel that the dungeon naming method of the game is quite simple and crude. They are either named after the place name, background name, or the operation method of the dungeon."

Yu Chiang said helplessly: "Indeed. Generally, games don't play fast and loose with the theme of the dungeon."

Gu Qiufeng said: "That's interesting. The name sounds like a copy with ancient China as the background."

"If nothing unexpected happens," Yu Chi'ang said, "this type of copy is always difficult."

First of all, the background era is the first to determine that in this dungeon there is the most basic performance difficulty, as well as the familiarity with the era and understanding of customs. Secondly, in this dungeon divided by the background of the era, it is more difficult to find any way to pass the level from the theme.

"It's okay, let's take it one step at a time." Gu Qiufeng said, "Since Duan Chouyu has taken the initiative to show goodwill, it at least means something."

He will definitely have the advantage in this copy.

"I hope so." Yu Chi'ang sighed, "But it is obvious that tomorrow's dungeon will be of great significance to Duan Chouyu and the Third Guild. The composition of players in the dungeon will be quite mixed."

Gu Qiufeng smiled and said, "As long as they don't get in the way of my business, that's fine."

Now he just wants to upgrade quickly and explore the deep connection between himself, Xie Xin and this game.

It seemed as if the Tears of God had been plotting against him from the moment he stepped onto the bus.

Changyu Tavern's business in City C is obviously much more extensive. In addition to the chain accommodation hotels that Gu Qiufeng has already experienced, there are also daily catering and shopping facilities.

Compared to the quaint City D, the technological level of City C is visibly modern, and is basically on par with the living conditions of first-tier cities like City A where Gu Qiufeng lives. Walking on the streets, one would even have the illusion that they had never entered the game.

If life in the game is better than in reality, would you still want to go back to reality?

After finishing his meal, Gu Qiufeng checked into the guild-specific room that Yu Chiang had arranged for him. He looked through the curtains at the brightly lit City C outside, and this question suddenly popped up in his mind.

Life in City C is already comparable to that of the modern middle class, but players who rely on dungeons to live a comfortable life may not necessarily live a good life in reality.

Not to mention, there is City B with a higher standard of living and higher level of player strength.

Are the winners in these games really willing to return to reality?

This thought just flashed through his mind, and Gu Qiufeng suddenly saw a dark cloud suddenly spreading over the edge of City C in the distance.

He rolled his Adam's apple and couldn't help but put his fingers on the window.

Gu Qiufeng suddenly realized that City C was different from reality.

In the real city A, the streets would not be so empty at night.

At some point, he could no longer see a single human player anywhere he looked.

The night in City C is even quieter than that in City D.

Something is wrong.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and finally saw the true shape of the spreading dark clouds.

The dense and constantly wriggling tentacles bloomed in the sky like a giant beast with bared fangs.

Gu Qiufeng just took a look and felt a chill on his back.

He drew the curtains and finally understood why even human players of Xie Songjin and Yu Chiang's status hated this game so much.

Monsters pretending to be human are ruthless and cruel.

When he woke up the next day, Gu Qiufeng found that the crack on the damaged character card of Shao Qiu Shui had faded a little. It should be that the guide of City D was still helping to repair his card surface.

He weighed between Arcana and Feng He, and finally chose to take Feng He with him into the new copy.

After all, Feng He can be regarded as the embodiment of the mountain god's kindness, and his customs and common sense in this regard may be used in ancient style copies.

Thinking of this, Gu Qiufeng contacted Yu Chi'ang and Duan Chouyu, refreshed the interface the moment the new copy came out, and entered the copy together.

The moment he entered the dungeon, Gu Qiufeng was stunned for a moment.

The ways to enter different dungeons are different. For example, reality-oriented dungeons such as Phoenix Village and Yucheng University will take a bus to the dungeon entrance, but world dungeons will allow players to automatically enter the dungeon the moment the dungeon is opened. Players will lose consciousness for a short time until the dungeon is loaded.

This was Gu Qiufeng’s first time entering an ancient style dungeon, and the feeling this time was different from all the previous ones.

A kaleidoscope-like rotating light scene appeared before his eyes, and the game prompt sound kept ringing in his ears.

[The large-scale copy "Flower Scroll" is loading, please wait...]

[Generating player identity...]

[Reminder to players: This instance is a large collection instance for 48 players, and the live broadcast function is not available]

Gu Qiufeng: “?”

What type of collection is this?

He had also studied the various copy materials given to him by classmate Xiaoyu.

But I have never heard of any collection of copies.

Moreover, a large-scale copy with 48 people is unheard of.

Gu Qiufeng remembered that when he was at Yucheng University, Shen Yubo once reminded him that the more people there were, the greater the difficulty would be.

At the same time, the difficulty of the dungeon is also related to the average level of the players. The higher the level of the players, the more difficult the dungeon. Therefore, generally speaking, high-level players with some quality will not participate in some low-level dungeons to increase the difficulty for newcomers.

However, the known quasi-A-level players in this copy include Yu Chiang and Duan Chouyu, plus a total of 48 people.

Wow, it’s hell difficulty.

As the copy was loaded, Gu Qiufeng squinted because of the sudden light.
