Chapter 34 Board Games (4)

=====

Yi Han raised his lips slightly, but Jian Lin and his teammate Miko gave him worried looks.

Before he entered the basketball court, the witch suddenly took out a jade prop and cast a spell on him.

[Blessed by defensive spells: After activation, attacks from evil spirits can be completely blocked within 1 second. ]

After performing this spell, the color of the jade became much darker, and a stream of light flashed on Yi Han's body. The witch looked painful, but as a player in the same team, she would be eliminated if Yi Han died. Compared with the number of times a precious item can be used, life is of course more important.

"Be careful!" She looked nervous and grabbed Yi Han and told him.

The scene before my eyes changes.

Before he could say anything, Yi Han was already standing on the dark basketball court, holding an ordinary basketball in his hand.

His position is the same as the player who just came in, standing behind the free throw line, but the last situation showed that it is not necessary to stand here when shooting.

Yi Han already had a plan on how to pass this level, but the buff that his witch teammate temporarily added to him was a surprise, so he decided to change his plan slightly.

In the dark night, the game start prompt sounded.

Yi Han knew that the other players in this game were looking at him from a God's perspective.

He weighed the ball in his hand, without much aiming, and threw the first shot.

As expected, with a "bang", the basketball hit the metal basketball hoop and landed a million miles away from the net.

[System prompt: Since you are the second player to enter this level in this game, the penalty for failure is doubled.]

[First shot, failed, the number of opponents increases by 2. ]

Following the prompt sound, two motionless ghosts immediately appeared next to the basketball stand. Yi Han did not expect such a pleasant surprise, and his eyebrows raised, his expression became more relaxed.

The basketball fell to the ground and returned to his hands under the control of the system.

Yi Han didn't waste any time and immediately made another shot.

[If you shoot for the second time and fail, the number of opponents will increase by 2. ]

[Note: The number of opponents on the field has exceeded 3, and the Goblin has lifted the first stage restrictions! ]

Four shadowy figures immediately surrounded Yi Han. Yi Han picked up the basketball for the third time, carefully avoiding the capture of the shadows. His body had almost retreated to the three-point line, and he shot another ball from a distance.

This time, the ball flew directly out of the court. If the basketball hoop hadn't been able to talk, it would have reminded him angrily, "I'm here!"

At this time, the players watching outside the court looked suffocated after watching him shoot three balls at high speed.

Several female players were stunned: "He, he, can't play basketball? This is too miserable..."

The male player who just came out of the basketball court: "...Actually, I'm not very good at it, but this round is just a pitch...How can he..."

The witch girl was so anxious that she slapped her thigh and said, "How nearsighted are you? Oh my god!!!" She then pulled Jian Lin to complain, "QAQ he looks tall, handsome and reliable, but he can't play basketball!!!"

Of course Yi Han couldn't hear his teammates' anxious shouts on the field.

But within a few minutes, he missed two more shots. Now there were 10 ghosts on the field, and he had almost no room to dodge.

With the buff provided by the honey chicken drumstick, Yi Han tried it again, and found that after the number of ghosts reached 10, it would not increase anymore even if he missed again.

Although 10 is indeed a little too few, it seems that there are only so many NPCs in this game, so Yi Han had no choice but to stop.

"It's time to end it." He was now being pushed to the corner of the court by the ghosts. Seeing that the time was right, he stretched out his hand and took out the chain.

10 ghosts may not sound like a lot, but when they surround a person together, the scene is still quite scary.

Yi Han activated the buff that the witch gave him that made him immune to attacks for 1 second. He stopped dodging and headed straight into the encirclement of the ghosts.

The ghosts were in high spirits, baring their fangs and claws, but all their attacks were absorbed by the buff. Yi Han had already seen the flaw at this time. The moment the buff disappeared, the chain was thrown at one of them at high speed, but this time it was not the neck, but the leg. The iron chain was stretched straight, and the ghost thought he had won, and was completely unprepared. As a result, he found that his legs, which were close to the NPC next to him, were tightly entangled. The iron chain was thrown again, and the two ghosts fell to the ground with a cry of "ouch".

Yi Han took this opportunity to escape from their encirclement, retracted the iron chain, and shot it out again, entangling two more ghosts. The group of stupid ghosts, who had not yet had time to turn around and surround him again, huddled together again - and at this time, the S+ iron pot had already appeared in Yi Han's hand.

He started with the ghost closest to him and hit whoever he caught. The "bang bang bang" sounds echoed around the basketball court, accompanied by the ghosts' cries of pain.

As for the ghosts knocked out by him, just like in every previous level, the system judged that they had lost the chance of a comeback and they were forced to log off.

The ghosts behind had never seen such a scene, and they were shocked and angry. Several of them came together to try to fight back, but they were tripped by the iron chains around their ankles. This time they finally gave in, and were frightened and scared. They yelled and cursed while trying to escape, but Yi Han didn't let them go, chasing and intercepting them, shooting iron chains from time to time to trip them, and then slapping them.

In just 3 minutes at most, this battle with reversed roles was completely over.

At this time, audience A: "Fuck..."

Audience B: “Awesome…”

Audience C: "I give up. The boss is chasing ghosts and beating them. 666..."

The most excited person at this moment was the witch girl who thought she was going to lose the game.

Her mood changed from sadness to joy, and she was so excited that she grabbed Jian Lin and laughed three times. She slapped her thighs several times, and after the initial joy, she was attracted by the weapon that Yi Han had just used: "Wait - he carries a cooking pot with him, and can eat the freshest, freshly cooked braised pork - is it possible!??"

Yi Han's mission was not yet completed, so he was still standing on the basketball court, unaware that his identity was being questioned again.

[Eliminate 10 NPCs, +200 points at settlement...]

He didn't even sweat during the activity just now. Yi Han put away the pot, listened to the system broadcast, and smiled with satisfaction.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Yi Han always felt that the system was used to kicking NPCs offline for him, mortgaging NPCs for points, and then broadcasting prompts...

It became more and more proficient in carrying out this fixed process, and its tone changed from being official at the beginning to being helpless, and even mixed with a hint of grievance.

Yi Han felt a mysterious sense of satisfaction, thinking, "It seems that I have trained this AI to be more and more user-friendly, just like the input method." He picked up the basketball again, took a few steps back, and faced the basket.

Of course he knew how to play basketball, but previously he had to shoot randomly in order to get points. Now that there were no troublemakers, he shot three balls at random, and then he got a hint and passed the level successfully.

In fact, according to the rules, even if the shot is successful, some ghost NPCs should be thrown in, but the NPCs in this level have all been killed by Yi Han, and the system was stuck for a long time - in the end, not a single extra NPC was squeezed out, so he could only blame Yi Han for letting him pass the level directly.

When Yi Han returned to the dice hall, he immediately received compliments and admiring looks from his teammates...but the witch girl looked at him strangely, as if she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing her, Yi Han remembered the 1-second protection buff she gave him before he entered the level. That thing was indeed very practical, and it blocked a lot of attacks at the time - although even without it, Yi Han would have a way to break through, but that would have been a lot more trouble.

That buff seemed to have cost the witch's precious items. In fact, she helped Yi Han mainly to help herself, but Yi Han still took note of it and thanked her, thinking that after the game was over, he could send her a meal to repay the favor.

On the table in front of Yi Han, there was a glittering treasure chest. It was the reward box he got after completing the "Late Night Basketball Court".

He opened the box and saw two things inside.

【Ring of Terror】

[Quality: Grade B]

【Condition: Brand new】

[Description: A permanent mental shock spell that makes the wearer appear terrifying and difficult to mess with in the eyes of others. It weakens the enemy's combat effectiveness to a certain extent. The weaker and more timid the enemy's character is, the greater the degree of weakening.]

The ring is silver and of ordinary style, but when held up to the light, one can see the wonderful glowing patterns on it.

When Yi Han put it on his finger, he felt the whole body around him become colder and darker. Perhaps this ring was created to create a visual atmosphere for him to keep strangers away. Yi Han didn't like wearing rings, and it was not convenient when fighting, so he decided to find a rope to hang it in his clothes.

In addition to the ring, there was a piece of paper in the box.

Yi Han was familiar with this thing.

[Recipe: Fried dumplings (already learned)]

[Description: After consumption, night vision is improved. Duration: 2 hours.]

This is great stuff! I just said it was a pity that there was no dish that increased night vision, but this time I got it!

Although the basketball court level was not used this time, Yi Han felt that in future escape games, there would probably be many situations where he needed to work in the dark. Although his eyesight was pretty good, he was able to make three consecutive shots in the dark because he had memorized the location of the basket.

Giving Jian Lin a look of "well done", Yi Han put the recipe into the inventory.

Next it's the fourth team's turn to throw the dice.

Yi Han just raised his head and looked at it attentively, when he suddenly felt the witch girl beside him moving closer to him.

Because of the terrifying aura brought by the Fear Ring, Yi Han glanced over with a puzzled look, and the girl seemed to shrink back.

But she didn't know where the strength came from, she mustered up her courage, held her chest, and quickly moved closer again.

"I just saw your pot..." the girl lowered her voice and said mysteriously.

"Hmm?" Yi Han raised his eyebrows, turned around and saw the shining expression in her eyes, and knew that she should have guessed it.

He had just used the pot to fight the ghost so openly, and he was already prepared to be exposed. But as a calm and collected boss, Yi Han would not show any panic even if he was about to be exposed.

"Your pot is very special. It can defeat the ghosts in the two-star copy. The quality must be very high..." The witch girl said naggingly, "Such a high-level pot is so powerful for making weapons. If it is used for cooking, it will definitely be more powerful... Before, you suddenly took out the braised pork that had just come out of the pot next to me. I didn't see it at the time, but now I understand. You must be lying to me when you admit that there is a special ordering channel! Your braised pork must be made in this pot..."

"So?" Yi Han remained calm.

He just didn't believe that this frightened girl would dare to blackmail him. After all, although this girl looked naive, greedy and stupid, she didn't seem to have any bad intentions.

When the witch saw that he did not deny it, her eyes became brighter.

She stared at Yi Han, took a deep breath, and finally said firmly: "You two are definitely in the same group! Do you have any...relationship with the owner of that store? Is that owner your lover? Is he a man or a woman? He is willing to secretly teach you a business secret like a recipe! Your relationship must be special! I guessed it! It must be like this!!"

Yi Han:……?
