When Su Jian heard these words, he truly realized that the thin and weak girl in front of him was the ultimate NPC of the Gan Gan Village dungeon, and had the power to control the entire dungeon.
According to the game rules of "IN OFF", all copy NPCs are living beings that exist or have existed.
It doesn't matter your background or occupation, there is only one selection criterion: to be recognized by the main system.
The rules seem simple.
The main system of "IF" is full of tricks. To be recognized by it means that Li Ting is no ordinary person.
Su Jing followed Li Ting out of the wooden house, looked up, and suddenly saw dots of light on the other side of the Yin Yang River.
There is no electricity in Gangan Village, where does the light come from?
After careful observation, Su Jing discovered that the source of the light came from the tens of thousands of wooden signs with names written on them hanging above Gangan Village.
In the pitch-black night, each wooden sign was ablaze, filled with the suffering they had endured in this land.
The village was already in chaos.
The villagers, who had been reproducing in an abnormal way for hundreds of years, were now frightened and fled everywhere, trying to avoid the punishment that came out of nowhere.
However, over the past few hundred years, in order to prevent the women who were tricked into entering the village from escaping, the men set up numerous checkpoints at the exits and blocked all roads out of the village.
Now that the disaster has befallen me, I realize that there is no way out.
The firelight illuminated Li Ting's profile, and her tone was extremely calm.
"Do what you want to do."
As soon as the words fell, flames fell like rain, and the stars connected into a red ocean, drowning all the sins.
In the raging fire, Su Qiong saw from afar the stone cave where they lived. The surface was burned to ashes by the flames, revealing pieces of stone hidden in the stone wall...
gold!
The gold in the rocks was made into thick gold bricks, which were exposed one by one and piled up into a towering mountain of gold.
——It turns out there really is a gold mountain in Gangan Village?
No wonder Su Jian always felt like wind was seeping in through the cracks when he went to bed every night.
"You don't know my special ability yet, do you?" Li Ting took the initiative to explain. "My special ability is called equivalent exchange. Over the years, the villagers have eaten and drunk my food. I gave them their lives, so everything they gain belongs to me. Isn't that reasonable?"
Su Jian nodded, "That makes sense."
Su Jing originally guessed that Li Ting's ability should be related to plundering, but he didn't expect it to be an equal exchange, worthy of being a real copy.
For her, this should be the most suitable ability.
Equivalent exchange, cause and effect.
On the other side of the river, the villagers didn't know what was happening and were hiding from the rain of fire with their hands on their heads.
Suddenly, someone saw Jinshan and rushed over like crazy.
"Gold! My gold!"
Instead of holding him back, the people around him were also blinded by greed and rushed into the sea of fire without hesitation.
Shi Yuntian took a few steps back, stunned. "Their mental state is indeed abnormal."
The people nearby didn't respond. With the subtle sound of flowing water, Li Ting, who had returned to the shore, responded, "It hasn't been normal for a long time."
The old bachelor who was only half a meter away from her noticed the three girls next to Li Ting and rushed over eagerly, "Wife, my wife!"
"Ah!" The girl screamed in fright and hid behind Li Ting.
Before they could get close to Li Ting, they were kicked away by Lu Shufan and Shi Yuntian.
"Get away from me!"
"Dirty thing, so unlucky!"
The old bachelor was kicked so hard that he spat out a mouthful of blood, and flames quickly rushed over.
He looked at the girl in front of him, then at Jinshan, who had been living there without him noticing, with deep anger in his eyes.
He sang nursery rhymes for most of his life and dreamed of having a wife and a mountain of gold.
Now, the thing he has always dreamed of is within reach. How can an old bachelor be willing to give up?
Li Ting stopped looking at him and moved her fingers to fish out a few gold bricks from the sea of fire.
"Each of you take one. That's enough to get you through the level. I'm going to leave the rest for Qiu and the others."
All the players understood.
When entering the dungeon, the system prompts: There is more than one way to pass the level.
Even if you don't make any money in the city, you can still meet the requirements for passing the level by completing the hidden tasks in Gangan Village.
"Sister?!" Aqiu and the others were extremely surprised.
"Gan Gan Village is sinful, but the girls here are not. You have a bright future." Li Ting smiled at them, "Since we were born, we are sisters. Why should we care about blood ties?"
After arranging the following matters, Li Ting instructed them, "The copy is over, you can leave now."
"Okay, okay!" The one who follows me wins overjoyed and immediately picks up the gold brick.
Su Qi stared at her, his marshmallow face showing a worried expression, "What about you?"
"My wish has come true." Li Ting said, and then remained silent for a few seconds.
She had originally planned to disappear if anyone discovered the secret of Gangan Village.
Now, Li Ting decided to change her mind.
"I plan to leave the dungeon, reset my attributes, and become a white-named NPC like you."
Su Qiong was somewhat happy and made an agreement with her, "Okay, let's meet in a happy dungeon next time."
"Yeah." Li Ting nodded, watched him and the players leave the dungeon, and pressed down the corners of her lips.
"You're so naive." Li Ting shook her head and sighed softly, "Except for my copy, where in the game is there no fighting?"
Su Jian didn't hear it because he had already left the game, and the only sound in his ears was the system prompt.
[Congratulations to NPC Su Jian for completing the Novice Orientation quest and obtaining a KPI+40. You can redeem items in the system store.]
Congratulations to NPC Su Jian for completing the hidden quest [Them] in Gan Gan Village and earning 8000 points.
Su Jing was silent for a moment.
Points are rewards given to players by the system. Eight thousand points are enough for players to directly upgrade from level zero to level five.
Level 5 is very popular in the novice area and can be ranked among the ranks of expert players.
But he is a system NPC, what’s the point of asking players for points?
[Congratulations to NPC Su Jian for completing the level clearance and receiving the dungeon NPC reward item: Equivalent Exchange Bag.]
A golden pocket in the shape of a lucky bag appeared in front of Su Jing.
It is embroidered with seedlings in gold thread, giving it a very luxurious look.
[Item Description: Equivalent Exchange Bag. The holder can trade with anyone in the instance. As long as it's within a reasonable range, the Equivalent Exchange Bag will automatically collect the balance owed by the other party. (System Comment: Black-hearted trading bag, forced buying and selling, infuriating.)]
"Susu, you got the dungeon item!" Lu Shufan rushed over, checked the item in Su Jian's hand, and gasped, "What an outrageous item."
Those who follow me win. Now when I see the word "deal", my neck hurts.
This pocket's skills may seem harmless, but if they fall into the hands of a black-hearted capitalist...
"Here you go." Su Jing stretched out his hand and handed the pocket to the black-hearted capitalist.
"Give it to me?!" Yu Qimiao lacked gaming experience, but he knew the importance of copy props.
Su Jing completed the hidden mission with great difficulty, and he actually wanted to give him the precious props.
"Well, dungeon items are supposed to be rewards for players." Su Qi put the item in Yu Qi Miao's hand and said to the others, "This item suits him. If I have the chance to guide you next time, I'll help you find the item."
Lu Shufan: "It doesn't matter. I'm just a spendthrift. Giving me the purse would be a waste."
Shi Yuntian's key point was, "What do you mean by if? Could it be that you might not guide us next time?"
"That's right." Su Qiong looked at him confidently, "I'm a free NPC and can enter dungeons randomly. IF has countless dungeons, and the probability of us encountering the same dungeon is..."
Su Qiong calculated carefully and gave a number, "About 0.00135%."
Shi Yuntian: ...
My defense was broken. I thought Marshmallow was their exclusive NPC.
This crappy game can't even bind to a guide NPC? How abominable!
"I'm going to guide the other players. You guys hurry into the circle. Goodbye." Su Jing said goodbye to them without any reluctance and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Yu Qimiao grabbed his cloak, "I have something to give you."
After saying that, Yu Qimiao opened the player system store and used all the points he had just earned from passing the level to exchange for a new cloak of the same style as the one on Su Jian.
"You tore your cloak into tatters in this dungeon for us. At least let me return one to you." Yu Qimiao exchanged Su Jian's old cloak with a new one, his tone filled with concern. "Be careful and stay safe."
"……good."
Preface retracted.
Su Jing felt that a mess of unfamiliar emotions were suddenly inserted into his code.
0.00135% probability.
Is it possible to see each other again?
Su Jing separated from Yu Qi Miao and the others and did not rush into the dungeon. Instead, they went to the area where the players gathered to inquire about the situation.
On the fourth day after the second batch of players of "IF" entered the game, tens of thousands of players had successfully left the dungeon.
For some reason, they did not enter the circle, but instead established a player survival base in the world outside the copy.
The environment outside the dungeon is quite peaceful, and the survival base has even formed a market economy. As long as you pay points, you can enjoy entertainment, shopping, food, and accommodation.
As for the players who failed the game, Su Jian only knew that they were still alive and were teleported to a corner of the novice area by the system.
Upon learning of this, Su Qiong had some thoughts flashing through his mind, but he couldn't clearly explain the details.
In short, "IF" is extremely difficult. Even though you can resurrect infinitely in the novice area, you cannot fail easily.
Otherwise, there will be a price to pay.
In addition to allowing players to rest and relax, the survival base can also exchange information.
After the players' levels are upgraded, the system will enable the ranking function, and the list will display the top 100 players.
Ordinary players can pay the corresponding points to view the information and clearance records of listed players.
The top-ranked player was called ERROR. He was assigned to the most difficult dungeon three in the novice area at the beginning. He cleared dungeon three in just twenty minutes.
In the next two hours, I passed copy one and copy two one after another.
ERROR seemed unsatisfied and took the initiative to open the most difficult hidden copy of copy three, which has not come out yet.
The second-ranked player has no ID. Players in the survival base who know this big guy said his code name is 'A'.
A was assigned to the most difficult copy of copy 2, and he was the only player in the entire copy.
Instance 2 had been open for four full days, and A hadn't left. However, his points were increasing at a terrifying rate every day, currently totaling over 400,000.
The player obtained more than 400,000 points in the novice copy, but was unable to pass it. According to the game's judgment, it should be considered a "death copy."
Providing guidance to players in a death game is one of the jobs of white-name NPCs.
The system bat spread its wings and glided to Su Jing's side.
Before he could open his mouth, he heard Su Qiong say, "Send me to the copy of A."
Bat: "Are you crazy? That dungeon has been open for four days, and the difficulty is far beyond your current level..."
Su Qi looked at it expressionlessly, "Can't you do it?"
"Huh?!" Bat was furious. "Who can't do it? I'm your leader, I have all the authority you want. It's just entering an open dungeon and committing suicide. I'll help you!"
After Bat finished cursing, a white light flashed before Su Jing's eyes.
The light disappeared, and Su Jing found himself in a hospital.
In front of me was a long corridor, the light was dim, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The walls, floors, ceilings, and all areas of the hospital that Su Jing could see were covered with dense, blood-red characters of "Zheng".
"Tick-tock—"
"Tick-tock—"
"Tick-tock—"
Two meters in front of Su Jing, a tall man had his back to him.
Holding a head in his hand.
The long sword dipped into the blood dripping from the neck and slowly added a stroke to the half-written word "正" on the hand.
"23506." After the man finished writing, he discarded his head which was still warm, and turned to look at Su Jing.
In the moonlight, Su Jing saw that he had a pair of moving dark eyes.
The pale thin lips opened slightly and read out a string of numbers.
"You, 23507."
