What does 23507 mean?
Su Jian thought quickly.
A calls the head he just threw away 23506, and Su Jian is ranked after the head.
Considering the more than 400,000 points that A currently has, the answer seems obvious.
In the world of IN OFF, there are three main channels for players to gain points:
1. Kill the player or NPC.
2. Complete the dungeon to get rewards.
3. Transfers from other players.
A's first copy has not been completed yet, so the copy reward cannot be obtained.
This is a single-player dungeon, and there is no player in the dungeon who can transfer money to him.
Eliminating 1 and 2, the answer is obvious.
23506 is the number of mimic NPCs he has killed!
A reported 23507 to Su Jing.
——A wants to kill me!
Su Jian came to the conclusion within 0.5 seconds and immediately pulled down the hood of his mimicking cloak to distinguish himself from other NPCs by his appearance.
He raised his marshmallow arms high in the air to prove his inability to attack.
"I am a guiding NPC. I can trigger hidden hints and provide you with clues to pass the level." Su Jian spoke quickly and stated his position simply and roughly.
Due to his voice, Su Jing speaks softly.
In addition to his frail and helpless marshmallow appearance, even if ordinary players don't believe Su Jing's words, they will still show him some mercy because of his cuteness.
However, A is obviously not a normal person.
He was not at all fooled by Su Jian's appearance and voice. He stretched out his long, straight legs and rushed towards Su Jian at a rapid speed.
The long sword in his hand changed its shape, and the hard sword body instantly turned into a soft silver whip, wrapped in a sharp wind, and swung towards Su Jian fiercely.
Oops!
The weapon in A's hand is different from Shi Yuntian's heavy blade.
The "IF" system appreciates the strong and gives preferential treatment to NPCs and players at the top of the pyramid.
A has not yet passed the first copy, but the weapon he holds has already awakened to the advanced mode.
The damage caused by advanced weapons far exceeds that of ordinary weapons.
With Su Jing's level, even a slight scratch from the whip would break his bandages.
After going through the last dungeon, Su Jian has basically adapted to his body.
Relying on his light body, he floated up and avoided A's first attack.
"Pah—"
The whip fell heavily, echoing through the hospital corridor late at night.
Su Jing was nervous, always on guard against A launching a second attack.
But he found that the silver whip was passing around him.
Didn’t you hit it right?
wrong!
Su Jing lowered his head and found that the silver whip had tied up the mimic NPC that was behind him just now.
This mimic NPC has a very strange appearance.
A sticky puddle of people was clinging to the hospital ceiling.
The main torso can barely reveal the outline of a human, and the skin and limbs are already half-melted.
Wherever he crawled, he left behind winding blue-black water stains similar to snail mucus.
"Tick-tock—"
"Tick-tock—"
Because his body was trapped by the silver whip, the man melted faster and turned into a blue-black slime, dripping onto the ground bit by bit.
Su Jing was so scared that he hugged himself tightly.
If he hadn't dodged just now and stayed where he was, he would be extremely dirty now!
A tightens the silver whip, and the tail of the whip wraps around the neck of the mimic NPC.
"Ah——!" He let out a shrill scream and his body exploded on the spot.
Like a burst meat balloon, liquid sprayed in all directions.
Fortunately, Su Jing dodged quickly enough and was lucky enough not to be stained by the flying debris.
A retracted the whip, drew another stroke with the remaining blood, then raised his head and looked at Su Jing calmly.
"I know you are the guiding NPC." A stretched out his hand, scanned the player bracelets covering the entire floor, and returned them to his wrist.
When Su Jian appeared, A was using the top player privileges to start scanning the entire floor, and saw the pure white ID above Su Jian's head at a glance.
—and his appalling level.
Su Jing found that A was unwilling to attack him, so he carefully floated back to the ground.
He avoided the bloodstains on the ground and found a cleaner place to stay.
A observes him quietly.
The system NPC with autonomous consciousness is indeed different from the mimic NPC encountered these days.
For example, the marshmallow in front of him, he actually has mysophobia.
A: "The dungeon has been open for four days. Why did you choose to come in now?"
Su Jian replied, "Because you need me. Guiding the NPC can trigger hidden hints within the dungeon."
Su Jing looked around the entire building, and the entire area he saw was covered with the word "正".
Some of the bloodstains on the characters are very fresh and appear bright red.
Some of the correct characters had been written for several days, and the blood had dried and turned dark red.
Combined with A's previous actions, if each "positive" character represents a mimic NPC killed by him...
A deserves so many points.
ERROR, who ranked first on the player ranking list, passed three dungeons in a row and received three perfect clearance rewards, which allowed him to score a few thousand points higher than him.
Su Qiong: "I just entered the dungeon. Can you tell me the details of this dungeon?"
A did not answer immediately, but looked out the window into the distance, where a ray of light appeared on the horizon.
A slowly put away his weapon, and the thing that could be used as both a sword and a whip turned into a silver waist chain around his waist.
The young man turned around, and the waist chain swayed back and forth with his steps, jingling and slapping his perky buttocks.
As the sun rises, the entire hospital building changes its appearance in minutes.
Medical staff came to the hospital to work one after another, and patients in hospital gowns could be seen everywhere.
"Come with me." A said these three words and took Su Jian back to his ward. He took out two hospital gowns from the cabinet and gave one to Su Jian.
"This hospital will operate normally during the day, and players are prohibited from using weapons and skills. We must play the role of patients well, otherwise we will be dragged away for strange treatments." A did not avoid Su Jing, and neatly took off his bloody clothes and changed into a blue and white striped hospital gown.
Su Qiong stood there in a daze, staring blankly at A's upper body, and four big words appeared in front of his eyes:
He has abs!
And there are exactly six pieces, with beautiful and symmetrical texture and very beautiful lines.
Su Jing was extremely envious.
I rubbed my belly and almost cried with envy.
Su Jing was burning with jealousy, but A didn't feel it. He buttoned up his clothes and sat down elegantly opposite him.
"Four days ago, I entered the hospital dungeon." A crossed his legs and started talking from the day the dungeon was opened.
"After entering the dungeon, for about five minutes, the entire hospital was extremely quiet, with only the sound of system prompts in my ears."
Su Jian didn't find it unusual and told him based on his own experience, "I entered the previous instance and it was the same situation."
Before the Gangan Village dungeon opens, players are given a few minutes to gather before the scene is loaded.
"Yeah." A nodded slightly and continued, "The system information is very limited. It only tells me the main quest. Complete the main quest and pass the dungeon."
Su Jing recalled carefully.
The Gangan Village dungeon only tells players the conditions for passing the level. Probably the situation is similar for all the novice area dungeons.
Su Qi asked, "What is the main mission? Kill them?"
"No. If I could clear the dungeon by killing them, I should have left on the first day," A told him. "The main quest is surprisingly easy. I only need to complete two questions."
"Finished the question?"
There is a rule in "IF OFF": the simpler and clearer the main task is, the higher the difficulty.
"Hmm." A took out a neatly folded test paper from his pocket and added, "To be precise, you only need to complete one question."
The test paper itself is the standard test paper size, printed on both sides, and is quite environmentally friendly.
The test questions only take up 1/4 of the paper, and the remaining 3/4 is filled with supplementary rules.
Su Jian looked at the question first.
As A said, it is indeed simple.
[Required question]: Please write down the exact number of people in this hospital.
[Multiple Choice]: The theme of this dungeon is: ____. (Hint: Two words.)
The hospital copy is not like Gangan Village. There are not so many unlocked maps, so it is estimated that there are unlikely to be hidden tasks.
To be on the safe side, Su Qiong asked, "Did the system tell you that there is more than one way to pass the level?"
"No."
"Oh." Su Jing understood.
This copy can probably only be solved by starting with the test questions, which is difficult.
Su Qiong: "I believe that completing the required questions is a prerequisite for passing the level, and completing the optional questions is a prerequisite for a perfect clearance."
"Yeah, I think the same as you." A's eyes showed a look of disgust. "However, I got the required questions wrong twice in a row, and I only have one chance left."
Su Jian saw the second rule of the exam: There are only two chances to correct the answers in this exam, and three mistakes will result in the failure of the game.
Recalling the scene just now, Su Jing could probably guess the reason.
A is counting the number of people using correct numbers, and the current count is 23,507.
Even if he counted correctly, the hospital is so large that it is inevitable that there will be a few fish that slip through the net.
Moreover, Su Jing discovered that as soon as the sun rose, many mimic NPCs entered the hospital from outside, and logically they were counted as the number of people "inside the hospital."
A uses the night time to kill the existing people. The next day, new patients enter the hospital and the number of patients needs to be counted again.
Su Jian studied the rules carefully and found that the supplementary rules only restricted the players, such as 'must obey the arrangements of medical staff during the day', 'must not leave the hospital in any way', etc., but did not provide any explanation for the questions.
Su Jian poked the NPC's bracelet, but no prompt was triggered.
He returned the test paper to A. "Does the specific number refer to the number of people who survived in the copy, or the sum of the number of survivors and deaths? Can you confirm this?"
A put away the test paper and replied gloomily, "The first two times I answered the questions, I tried both possibilities, and the system judged them as failures."
"You..." Did you count clearly?
A guessed the second half of the sentence and turned to face outside the ward.
The corridor was bathed in sunlight, hiding all signs of the fight.
But Su Jian still clearly remembered that he was in a bloody "正" character and the mimic NPC exploded in front of him.
"What do you think?" A asked.
Su Jing understood immediately.
With A's strength, he can definitely kill all the mimic NPCs and get the accurate number.
So here comes the question.
What are the system’s judgment criteria?
"This instance is probably a deathmatch." A changed his sitting position, crossed his legs again, and looked up at Su Qiong. "You're scared, but it's not too late to leave now."
When Su Jing heard this, he stood up immediately.
A's eyes were gloomy, and her beautiful pupils were cold for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.
System NPCs have independent consciousness, so of course they feel scared.
As expected.
He waited patiently for a few minutes, but Su Jing did not leave.
Marshmallow put on the hospital gown unskillfully and buttoned it up clumsily with his soft fingers.
It was Code's first time wearing human clothes and he found it difficult to adapt.
——You humans are so weird. You have six-pack abs, but you still wear clothes to cover them up.
If Su Jing had abdominal muscles, he would want the whole world to admire them!
Su Jian wrinkled his marshmallow face and urged him softly, "Since you don't kill people during the day, let's explore the hospital together. There are no copies in the game where you are sure to die. The clues to pass the level must be hidden somewhere."
"You..." How to use the cutest voice and make 'killing' sound as normal as 'eating'.
——This little NPC is quite interesting.
"ah!"
Su Qi suddenly thought of something and said considerately, "You were busy killing people last night, and you're going out to kill people again tonight. You need to get a good rest during the day. I'll go find some clues myself and tell you when I find them."
