Chapter 6 Hidden Mission

The grass was a little muddy, as if it had just rained. The rich bird calls and insect chirps in the woods and the fresh air made Wang Ergou, who had been living in a high-rise building all year round, feel quite relaxed and happy.

Unconsciously, he walked a long way, until he vaguely saw a low stone "house", and then he woke up from his contented state.

That stone "house" doesn't look like a human house, but more like a cat or dog house. It's a small one, curled up under a thick tree, and it's all alone.

It looks clean, with not even a speck of moss in the cracks between the stones. Above the arched door is an exquisite stone plaque, with stone couplets carved on the left and right. The words on them have been rubbed to a shine, as if they are often taken care of.

Wang Ergou's eyes lit up and he ran over excitedly, taking a screenshot of the small stone house that looked like a temple.

The text above was a bit strange. Although it looked like hieroglyphs and had a bit of traditional Chinese feeling, it was different from any kind of writing he knew.

This game is so hardcore that it imitates Chinese and creates its own language! ?

Wang Ergou guessed.

This is not a unique idea of ​​"Ten Continents". Many well-received masterpieces have done this before, but the response was not very good because most netizens do not care about such details.

In the opinion of veteran game reviewer Wang Ergou, even if the top linguists were invited to create a set of logically self-consistent characters, and finally put them into use in the game, wouldn’t they still have to translate them with one click so that players can complete tasks? Apart from proving the game’s awesome details and adding a subtle sense of immersion, it does not bring any decisive bonus points to the game’s gameplay itself - it’s impossible for this game to force people to learn this new language to complete tasks, right? The official will be criticized to death!

He first pushed aside the bushes blocking the side, then squatted down, stretched his neck, and looked into the small house.

Looking inside through the small door, it was pitch black and difficult to see clearly, but I could glimpse what seemed to be a stone sculpture inside.

Land temple? Is there any hidden treasure?

Wang Ergou became even more excited. He decisively used an [Identification Technique], and the identification information immediately appeared in his field of vision: [Huanggong Temple]: [An unknown small temple]

"Temple? The stone sculptures inside are gods?"

Wang Ergou muttered to himself and stretched his right paw into the temple cave of Huanggong Temple.

"Fuck!"

The field of vision suddenly began to flash violently red - this was a warning that the character was injured. Wang Ergou was startled and it took him a long time to react. It turned out that the palm that he stretched out to the stone temple was chopped off by an unknown object! The splattered blood sprayed on the outer wall of the stone temple, looking weird and terrifying! "Uninvited guests are evil guests!"

"An uninvited guest is an unwelcome guest—"

"An uninvited guest is an unwelcome guest..."

Sharp sounds seemed to come from all directions, and the echoes became more ethereal and illusory each time, but there was a sense of fear that made the soul tremble. At the same time, a new debuff flashed in the upper left corner of Wang Ergou's vision: [Fear].

[Fear]: [Recovery effect reduced by 100%, spell power greatly reduced.]

Then, a task triggering sign also flashed, and Wang Ergou opened it and saw that it was a golden hidden task! [Shanye Lustful Worship]: [You accidentally discovered an unknown stone temple, but the temple enshrined a monster. You decided to investigate this strange stone temple. (Can be shared, the maximum number of people to share: 2) (Reward: 2000Exp, random Yin attribute spiritual plant, limited mysterious props)]

"Fuck!"

Wang Ergou excitedly opened the world channel: "The hidden mission has been triggered, come on, two big brothers with lethal skills, team up!"

Although there were 50 spots available for the internal test, not all of them logged in as soon as they got the qualification, so there were only about a dozen people online at the moment. Even so, the moment Wang Ergou sent the message, the message box for team invitations flashed wildly - at least seven or eight people had signed up for him!

At the same time, several players’ private chats popped up:

“Ergou, Master! Look at me! Look at me! I’m your fan! I got the [Swordsmanship]! I have the potential to be an emperor!! My fighting power is so strong!!!”

"Ergou! I drew [Godspeed]! I can complete the missions really fast!"

"Brother Gouzi, I have [Super Strength]! It's stronger than eating spinach!"

…

Wang Ergou quickly invited the two players who had first privately chatted with him, but before he could say anything, everything went dark. It turned out that a huge gust of wind had blown him up, and the sand and rocks were flying in the forest. The sky and the earth were dark, and he couldn't see his hand in front of him!

The feeling of spinning and jumping in the air was like being weightless in an elevator, more exciting than the pirate ship and roller coaster in the amusement park. In the blink of an eye, the strong wind threw him several miles away. With a loud thud of a heavy object falling to the ground, his health bar dropped by more than half!

"Fuck! My leg is broken, come here!"

Wang Ergou's excited voice came from the group channel, but no matter how you listen to it, it seems that there is excitement in his tone...

"Brother Gouzi, why did you suddenly move from the east to the west?"

"I was blown away by the boss! Why don't you come here quickly!"

"Here I come! Running!"

There is no feeling of fatigue in the game. Although there will be a debuff of fatigue status, players don’t need to worry about it as long as they don’t feel it.

So, after about five or six minutes, the two players in the team came over according to the location of their teammates shown on the map.

The Jade Emperor and Han Yi took great pains to "cut through the thorns and brambles" and finally found Wang Ergou lying on the ground counting mushrooms.

Finally seeing two temporary teammates, Wang Ergou first tried to wave excitedly, but ended up stretching out a mosaic arm without a palm. After realizing something was wrong, he subconsciously tried to jump up, but his upper body stretched hard, while his lower body remained motionless, and he looked as if he was twitching.

The Jade Emperor looked at Wang Ergou in confusion, twitching twice, and scratched his head: "Brother Dog, what are you doing?"

"My leg is broken!"

Han Yi stared at Wang Ergou's broken wrist and hissed, "Then let's find a place to heal you first? There are medicines in this game, right?"

Wang Ergou gnashed his teeth and said, "Bullshit! This crappy game is doomed to fail! I've been lying here for a long time, and you didn't tell me what to do! First, carry me to the NPC place. You two should be able to carry me, right?"

The Jade Emperor asked in confusion: "Of course we can...but why do we have to go back to the NPC? Doesn't the mission require us to investigate at the mission point?"

Wang Ergou helplessly pointed at his legs with his only intact left hand: "Should I fix the bones first?"

Han Yi is also a veteran of the game. He smacked his lips repeatedly when he heard Wang Ergou's words: "No way? This game can't recover after being injured? So hardcore?"

The Jade Emperor also asked curiously: "How did you break it? And why is your hand chopped off? Do all your anchors play so wildly?"

"I didn't want to do that! I just started the hidden mission and I faced the boss. Then he blew a tornado and lifted me up high and threw me here!"

"Repetitive words! Disgusting! Ugh—"

"Wow are you really my fan!?"

Han Yi, who has a lot of experience in gaming, tried to analyze the situation: "If you get injured, there won't be any prompts? Usually when you get injured in a game, there will be prompts on how to treat or solve the problem, right?"

"Really!" Wang Ergou spread his hands innocently. It looked ridiculous to see him doing this with only one hand and a broken wrist. He said confidently, "It's been several minutes and there's no sign of improvement. There's no option to heal it on the panel. Let's go back to the NPC! Doesn't this game claim that the entire world is developed by AI? It also says that the NPCs are fully intelligent... so they can surely fix broken legs, right? Otherwise it's just false advertising!"

Han Yi was very cooperative and squatted in front of Wang Ergou, saying, "Okay, I'll carry you back."

The Jade Emperor at the side chuckled and said, "Ergou, do you think that you can avoid diarrhea by trying so hard to find bugs and flaws in this game?"

Wang Ergou was horrified: "Are you really going to make me do this? Are you the leader of my haters?!"
