"Yu Qi Miao." Su Jing called Yu Qi Miao.
Su Jing discovered that the survival base in the novice area was too densely populated.
Regardless of the number of points, ranking, or whether or not players have passed the dungeon, all players gather here.
This situation doesn't make sense.
——Why don’t players enter the circle?
If we use the explanation of "wanting the comfort of the novice village and not wanting to enter the circle and die".
When you first enter the game, the NPC Apple in the circle clearly tells everyone: The Novice Village will be disbanded in seven days.
Calculating the time, the novice area will no longer exist as early as this morning.
Players who are afraid of death should hide in the circle early, maybe they can still survive.
"Why didn't you enter the circle?" Su Jing asked.
The smile on Yu Qimiao's face faded for a second, "Su Qi, so you didn't know yet."
"Know what?" Su Qi was confused. "Is there anything I should know?"
Yu Qimiao took a deep breath and told him solemnly, "Players in the novice zone will not be able to enter the circle even if they pass the dungeon."
"W-what?!" Su Jing was shocked.
Yu Qisuo only realized this situation after he left the copy.
Like him, all players in the novice area who passed the dungeon were trapped in the survival base.
Players who failed to pass the level or died in the dungeon disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Players who can still stay in the novice zone now have proved that they have the ability or luck to pass the level.
Among them are many big guys who met the clearance requirements on the first day the copy was opened, and some top players were on the rankings released by the system.
But even so, no player left the novice area and entered the so-called circle.
During their stay, players set up forums, formed gangs and guilds, and exchanged information with each other.
So far, there are two important pieces of information recognized in the novice area.
1. The "inner world" must exist, because all players who have experienced the dungeon have never seen an apple, or even an NPC at the zombie puppet level.
2. To enter the circle, one needs to be "recognized" by the circle. So far, no player has met the conditions for entering the circle.
"The novice zone has only 24 hours left. Many players have witnessed the aftermath of the collapse." Yu Qimiao looked around. "We haven't found the conditions to enter the zone yet. Many players are on the verge of collapse."
Especially the players who are ranked high, who work hard to pass the dungeon and get rich rewards and points.
I thought I could kill everyone in the circle, leave the copy alive, and become a human legend.
What's the result?
I can’t even leave the Novice Village.
No wonder the beta testers said: "IF" is much more difficult than other horror games.
First it gives people hope, and then through long torture, it makes them completely despair.
"Isn't the only condition for entering the circle to pass the dungeon?" Su Jing had never heard that there were additional conditions for entering the circle.
"Sure enough." Yu Qimiao sighed, "Even the system NPC doesn't know, so it's even harder for us ordinary players to find clues."
Upon hearing this, Su Qiong said sincerely, "Yu Qi Miao, tell me the clues you know and I'll help you deduce them. Perhaps in the process of deduction, new clues will be triggered."
"Okay." Yu Qimiao shared all the information he knew with Su Qi without reservation.
Compared to other players, Yu Qi Miao left the dungeon relatively late and did not have much time to explore the novice area.
Fortunately, before Su Jian entered the second copy, he left the equivalent exchange bag for Yu Qisuo.
The equivalent exchange bag is a perfect match for the unscrupulous capitalist. Yu Qi Miao relied on forced buying and selling to get a lot of useful clues for free.
Humans are social animals and are best at seeking benefits and avoiding harm.
Yu Qi Miao arrived at the survival base and found that most of the players who successfully passed the dungeon had already joined the guild.
Experienced players are definitely familiar with the term "guild". Joining a guild is equivalent to finding a protective umbrella for yourself, and you can also get strategies and props within the guild.
The game "IF" is extremely difficult. If you join a large guild, your survival rate will definitely increase.
Currently, there are two largest player guilds in the survival base.
One of the guilds was called [Extreme Realm], with a membership of around 3,000. There were certain requirements for joining the guild: one had to earn a significant number of points within the dungeon, or obtain items, to qualify.
Jijing directly wrote admiration for the strong into the team motto, and the strength is respected in the guild, attracting countless high-level players to join.
In the top 100 rankings released by the system, at least 50 spots were occupied by members of the Extreme Realm. The highest-ranked player was Xi Huaiji, who had already reached fourth place.
Another guild is called [Everyone Survive]. As the name suggests, it is a place where low-level players can gather together for warmth.
There are no conditions for joining the guild where all members survive. There are tens of thousands of members in the guild, but no more than ten of them make it into the leaderboard.
In the early stages of a guild's establishment, it is imperative to find ways to attract new members and strengthen the guild's strength.
Yu Qi Miao had just stepped into the survival base, and because he had the points reward for a perfect clearance and the copy NPC props, he was very popular.
The two major guilds, Extreme Realm and Total Survival, both extended olive branches to Yu Qi Miao.
Fish are highly alert and slow to warm up.
In addition, he had been in a high position for a long time and could not adapt to the life of entering a guild and being ordered around by the top leaders.
Lu Shufan and Shi Yuntian were also unwilling to join the guild, so the three people who had experienced life and death together decided to establish a new small guild called the Orphan Alliance.
"Really use this name?" Su Jing still wanted to complain.
After the Orphans' Alliance was established, the three members were not busy recruiting new members.
They spread out and collected clues into the circle in their own way.
"Shi Yuntian has started the third dungeon's combat dungeon, searching for clues to pass it. Lu Shufan has already become friendly with the other high-ranking officials, extracting clues from them. As for me..." Yu Qimiao said evasively, "I'm dealing with them fairly."
fair?
Although A didn't know Yu Qi Miao, he knew from his tone and gesture that the transactions made by this unscrupulous capitalist were definitely not fair.
"Although we didn't get any direct clues about the ring, we did get quite a few indirect clues."
Yu Qi Miao skipped the previous topic and listed the clues he knew.
"First of all, players must be able to enter the circle in some way. However, we are currently unable to determine the specific conditions."
"Secondly, there are a total of 100,000 dungeons in the Novice Zone, with the ratio of Easy, Normal, and Hard being 7:2:1. Several of these dungeons contain clues to the circle. For example, the previous one was a clue collected by players who completed a Hard dungeon."
"After discussions with other guild leaders, there are two main opinions. One, we must have players complete every one of the 100,000 dungeons before we can enter the circle. Two, we must wait until the seven days are over and the novice area is disbanded before we can enter the circle."
After listening to his analysis, Su Qi shook his head and said, "I think neither is true."
A agreed, "Yeah."
The "IF" system is relatively fair and does not involve collective punishment.
For example, A is thrown into the extremely difficult copy 2, and he is the only player in the entire system.
The system is a bunch of shit, but it didn't just pick a few cannon fodder players to be buried with A.
As for the second possibility, it sounds even more ridiculous.
There is absolutely no such thing as winning easily in "IN OFF".
Yu Qimiao asked back, "What do you think?"
Su Qiong told him, "I'm not sure about the situation in the novice area, but in the circle world of 'IN OFF', each circle has a special red-named NPC, whom the system calls the circle master."
"The Circle Master can control the Circle he or she governs. Only by fulfilling the conditions set by the Circle Master, or defeating the Circle Master, will the Circle be opened to players." Su Qi paused for a few seconds and said uncertainly, "Perhaps, there are so-called Circle Masters in the Novice Zone. However, there are no NPCs here at all."
"Indeed, you're the only NPC I've seen outside of a dungeon." Yu Qimiao followed Su Qi's instructions and fell into deep thought. "Assuming there really is a so-called Circle Leader in the Novice Zone, who would he be?"
"Who could it be?" Su Qi also began to think.
A didn't say anything, but stared at Su Jian.
"Hey, fish seven seconds!"
A familiar shout was heard in the distance, and Shi Yuntian hurried over, holding a thin and petite girl in his hands.
The girl was estimated to be around thirteen years old, obviously underage.
He was picked up by Shi Yuntian, who was over 1.9 meters tall, and was bumped all the way like a broken rag doll.
Yu Qimiao: "Shi Yuntian, have you passed dungeon three?"
"Of course! The Battle Dungeon is my comfort zone, much better than the Gangan Village Dungeon." Shi Yuntian threw the girl to Yu Qimiao and said casually, "Here, this is the new member I found in the dungeon."
"Hello, President. My name is Qi Yi." The girl staggered to her feet and greeted Yu Qi Miao with a weak breath, looking like she was only half alive.
Su Jing couldn't help but feel puzzled.
According to the setting of "IF", after the player leaves the copy, as long as he is still alive, the injuries he suffered in the copy will be completely healed.
Like A, after leaving the copy, the radiation damage he had suffered before was not even left with a scar.
When players enter "IF", the system will adjust their health status for the sake of fairness to prevent players from failing due to injuries outside the game.
Why is the girl that Shi Yuntian brought here only half dead?
Yu Qimiao didn't despise Qi Yi for being young and weak, and asked her, "Do you want to join the Orphan Alliance?"
"Yes." Qi Yi nodded affirmatively, "Shi Yuntian saved us in the game, I am willing to follow him."
Su Jian noticed that she used 'we' instead of 'I'.
"Okay." Yu opened the bracelet in seven seconds and sent Qi Yi an invitation to join the guild.
After Qi Yi agreed, Yu Qisuo looked at Shi Yuntian and said, "Tell me, you definitely wouldn't bring a child back for no reason."
"I wanted to hold it in for a while longer. Since you're asking so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you." Shi Yuntian said proudly, "Don't underestimate Qi Yi. She has skills."
In the novice zone stage, players can mostly only get points by passing dungeons, and very few can get dungeon items.
The lucky ones who get skills in the dungeon are a minority among the minority.
Although it is a minority, it does not mean that there are none at all.
In addition, Qi Yi doesn't seem to have much fighting ability and is not worthy of being recruited by a large guild.
The high-ranking officials of the big guild who were hiding near Yu Qi Miao and trying to recruit A thought so in their hearts without any reaction.
"What's with that expression? I haven't even finished what I was saying!" Shi Yuntian sensed Yu Qimiao's emotions and said in a resounding voice, "She knows the clue to getting into the circle!"
"What?!"
As soon as the words fell, countless voices rang out around him.
"Really?"
"This little girl is really lucky. She not only got the skills, but also found clues to join the circle."
"Yes, I know." Qi Yi opened her mouth and was about to start talking, "The skill I got is..."
"Wait, don't say anything yet." Yu Qimiao stopped Qi Yi, turned around, and smiled. "Now that the leaders of the major guilds are here, let's make a deal. I'll use the clues of our guild members in exchange for all the clues of your next game world."
"Hey, Yu Qi Miao, tell me some basic laws!"
"Jingjing has provided you with so many clues, and you are still not satisfied?"
"Besides, we still don't know if the little girl's clues will be useful."
The major guilds recalled the past when they were cheated by Yu Qi Miao and protested loudly.
[System: Player Yu used the Equivalent Trading Bag within seven seconds, and the transaction is complete.]
Leaders of major guilds: ...?
"The system agrees. It seems Qiyi's clues are very valuable." Yu Qimiao smiled and gestured to Qiyi, "You can tell me now."
"Okay." Qi Yi spoke again, "The skill we have obtained is to share life and death."
"You guys?" Yu Qi Miao noticed how she called herself.
Qi Yi explained, "I have a twin sister named Moi. My sister and I have been together every day since we were born. Therefore, the system allows us to share skills. In the game world of IF, as long as one of us has health points, even if we only have two breaths left, we can give the other one a full breath."
"We were both young, so we weren't at an advantage in the dungeon. Because we were lucky enough to get dungeon skills, we were hunted down by other players and NPCs. Moi died in the dungeon to protect me."
Yu Qi Miao: "Aren't you both destined to live and die together?"
"Yes, so I wanted to give her my life, but Moi refused. The moment she died, she was forced to leave the dungeon and taken to a special place." Qiyi recalled her sister's words and described it to the other players. "That place is quiet and noisy, crowded and empty. All players who die or fail in the dungeon will be teleported there."
"Moi told me that place is called—"
"Final rebirth."
Other guild leaders asked, "What does the place you mentioned have to do with entering the circle?"
"That's right. We've already passed the dungeon, so we won't be teleported there."
"Moi and I are twins. Even though we're separated, I can still hear her voice." Qi Yi looked up at them and said calmly, "Moi told me that this place is no different from the survival base. As long as we stay in the newcomer area, we will all become sacrifices."
"Sacrifice?"
"Yes," Qi Yi said affirmatively, "It's a sacrifice for the birth of the new master. My sister said that if you just go and take a look, you'll know."
The other players were anxious, "But how are we supposed to get through?"
"Did he fail on purpose in the dungeon?"
Qi Yi raised her hand, and there was a bloody red line on her little finger.
Blood overflowed from the fingertips, condensing into strands of lines, pointing to a certain direction.
Qi Yi: "Moi and I share a common destiny. Our blood bond will lead me to her and that place."
The other players were overjoyed.
"So as long as we destroy that place, we can enter the circle, right?
"So what are you waiting for? There are only 24 hours left until the Novice Zone is dismantled. Let's go quickly."
"I will notify President Xi Huaiji immediately!"
The players couldn't wait to leave the novice area and follow the red line to set off towards the final rebirth.
Just as Su Jing was floating up, he was suddenly stopped by A.
"You want to go?"
Su Qi replied, "Of course, I will guide the players through the game."
A's eyes were deep as he suddenly demanded, "Su Jian, don't go."
