"It's going smoothly." Su Jing murmured.
"Yeah." ERROR responded.
The two of them seemed to be on an internal call, leaving the other teammates confused.
"Smoothly?" Shi Yuntian looked at the Ladder of Order suspiciously.
Entering the world of Order, each player has five card slots, and together they have a total of forty card slots.
In the confrontation with the Ladder of Order, more than half of the cards have been used from the beginning to now, including several trump cards that were obtained with great effort.
Even so, the Orphan Alliance tried their best and only managed to grab a dozen or so steps on the stairs.
It is still a long way from the target of 52nd floor.
Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Order Ladder is getting stronger and stronger, with an overwhelming advantage.
Looking up at the endless stairs, everyone felt that the chances of winning were slim and becoming increasingly hopeless.
I don’t know why Su Jing feels that everything is going smoothly?
Could it be that he has a trump card that can turn the tide of battle and increase the level by eight levels at once?
Not likely.
Su Jian did not participate in the final stage, and everyone saw the cards in his hand, which were quite standard.
Even if eight steps can be added at once, they will be taken back by the Order Ladder in a short time.
The scene was once very desperate.
Players truly understand why the system says that the world within the circle is completely controlled by NPCs.
It is extremely difficult to defeat the NPC in the NPC-controlled home ground.
"Well, it went very smoothly." Su Jing confirmed his statement again.
He didn't explain and lowered his head to look through his cards.
"Let's not lose heart and continue competing." Su Jian's voice was very sweet, but the cards he played were not convincing at all, and he played them perfunctorily as if he had just picked one up at random.
Lu Shufan really thought that Xiao Dim Sum had an ace up his sleeve, so he leaned over to take a closer look and almost laughed out loud.
[Red-named NPCs will unconditionally help players.]
It's a third-level fake order.
Even if they turned it into True Order, could they expect to use this card and let the Ladder of Order help them?
The Ladder of Order is so huge that even if A turns on a full scan, he cannot see its level and cannot determine the color of its ID.
Besides, Order Ladder has so many cards in its hand, there must be cards that can suppress it.
Sure enough, the Order Ladder threw out a card of Supreme True Order without any hesitation.
[Red-named NPCs must defend the circle and prevent players from passing the level.]
The two cards cancel each other out, and the player loses seven steps at once.
Originally it was barely in the double digits, but after Su Jing's efforts, it instantly dropped back to single digits.
"Su Jian, don't be sad."
Moi and Qiyi comforted her thoughtfully, "It's not your fault."
"You... forget it." Shi Yuntian wanted to curse, but his temper was worn out. "I can't win anyway."
As things have developed to this point, even though Shi Yuntian is not very smart, he has clearly realized that players cannot defeat the Ladder of Order.
Because from the beginning, the game was not intended for them to win.
The Order Ladder has all the ladders and an infinite card pool by default, and even if players team up with the highest number of people, they can only form a team of ten at most.
Even if the cards in your hand are all level four and you win every round, you will still be two levels short in the end.
On the surface, this confrontation was a one-on-many one, but in reality, they were doomed to fail from the moment they entered the game.
Su Qiong, however, was not discouraged at all. He looked towards the Order Staircase with bright eyes and sighed, "You really are an NPC. I wasn't sure at first, but now it's easier."
"Huh? It's an NPC, isn't it obvious?"
"It's not obvious," A said. "It doesn't have a data card, so we can't be sure if the stairs themselves are NPCs or just props controlled by NPCs."
"Since it responded immediately without thinking, it means the master of the circle is the ladder itself."
"I remember now." Yu Qimiao said, "Su Qiong said there are generally three ways to pass the dungeon."
"Yeah!" Su Qiong said, "One of them is to defeat the circle leader NPC."
When the Ladder of Order heard this, they found it extremely ridiculous.
[You guys, don't dream of defeating me.]
ERROR said lazily with a smile on his lips, "With our current strength, we really can't defeat you, but..."
Su Jian took over the conversation and took out a card.
The card is a rare transparent color, belonging to neither the true order nor the false order.
Yu Qimiao stared at it for a few seconds before he remembered that the card was the card handed to them by the guiding NPC when they entered the Order World.
The text on the card should be:
[In an orderly world, true order must be observed.]
Rather than order, this card is more like the rules that support the entire orderly world.
Because of it, there are all kinds of strange ways to play in the orderly world.
After they successfully formed a team, the system randomly selected core players and accidentally set the target on Su Jian, so the card was given to him.
When Su Jian received this card, no one took it seriously, just like the normal rules, they read it and forgot about it.
Now Su Jian took out the transparent card, what does he want to do?
The Ladder of Order noticed Su Jing's actions and was momentarily confused about his intentions.
By the time the Order Ladder reacted, it was too late.
Su Jian placed the card on the stairs, pressed it twice, and then slowly moved his hand away.
The others looked at the card at the same time and were shocked to see that the text on the card had changed.
[In all worlds, there is no absolute true order.]
[Ladder of Order: No!!!]
It panicked and wanted to stop Su Jing's actions.
However, the card seemed to be imprinted on the steps, becoming a tight seal.
"how……"
"What's going on?"
A few people who knew nothing about this looked at each other in confusion.
Time goes back to four days ago, when Su Jing and ERROR were invited to the bottom of the maze.
Maze made a request to them, wanting Su Jian to save the Queen of Wands who was controlled by Order.
Taking this as an opportunity, Su Jing contacted the Queen of Wands and confirmed that she really wanted to be saved, so he came up with a bold idea.
There are countless cards in the Order World, divided into True Order and False Order.
These orders can all be changed, although at some cost.
When the Order Card changes, the rules of the entire Order World will change accordingly.
Water is not necessarily a colorless and odorless liquid, humans can survive without air, and tall horses have no hooves...
Using cards that can be changed to fight against the Ladder of Order will definitely not help you win.
What is the key to breaking the deadlock?
What is the trump card that can really kill with one blow?
Su Jing pondered deeply and finally remembered that when he first entered the Order World, the system gave him a transparent card.
Transparent cards have no true or false status, and no hierarchy, but they are the basis for the existence of the entire orderly world.
Su Jian took out the transparent card again and came up with a bold idea.
"Can I change this card?"
"...It's difficult," the Queen of Wands told him. "To change the contents of a card, we must initiate an Order Revolution and accept the natural disaster-level test created by the dungeon NPCs. Although we are the guardians of the cards, our control over the cards is limited. We can only control cards of a lower level than our own. For example, if a Level 1 Order Guardian wants to change a Level 2 card, the probability of failure is very high, and the card may be destroyed."
"Since there's a chance, we might as well give it a try." Su Qi immediately made up his mind, "It doesn't matter if it's destroyed."
If the cards are destroyed, the orderly world will inevitably fall into chaos.
How can a chaotic world without order be called an orderly world?
"Okay." The Queen of Wands was infected by Su Jian's perseverance and agreed to help him change the cards.
In the next few days in the world, Su Jian quietly found every dungeon NPC and asked them to help initiate the order revolution.
He was tortured to exhaustion by the calamity-level test, but most of the results ended in failure. Occasionally he succeeded, but the change was only tiny.
Su Jian launched thousands of order revolutions on this card and underwent thousands of tests before finally turning the card into its current form.
Everyone finally understood why after leaving the dungeon, they saw that Su Jian, who had not entered the dungeon, was weaker than them.
"You created a world of order, making everyone obey the true order and disobey the false order. You also let the orders restrict each other, thinking that this would create a place where order is observed." Su Qi moved his hand away and looked up at the Stairway of Order, his eyes filled with compassion. "But have you ever considered that you were wrong from the beginning? All the order in the world was not created, but something that everyone agreed upon and tacitly followed."
Su Jing: "People are alive, water is clear, these are not order."
Lu Shufan: "Xiao Dianxin is right! You think you can create order, but you use cards to change the original appearance of things. You are the one who doesn't follow order the most!"
"In my opinion, this place shouldn't be called the Order World. It should be renamed the Chaos World."
“No! No! No!” The Ladder of Order actually spoke directly, crying out in sorrow, “Order is me, I am order, and you should all abide by my order. No——!”
Along with the shouting, everyone heard fragmented sounds.
The towering stairs in front of me collapsed layer by layer and finally disappeared completely.
Standing behind the Ladder of Order are the NPCs who are forcibly bound by it and must stay in this world to protect order.
The Queen of Wands held her hands in front of her chest, and a card spun twice in her hands and turned into ashes.
Before the card disappeared, Su Jian saw the text on the card: The Queen of Wands must stay in the world of order and protect the supreme true order.
Other NPCs also get their own cards and then watch the cards disappear.
"Order is dead." The Queen of Wands once again picked up the scepter that represented freedom, stepped forward, and announced to them, "We can all leave."
"Where are you going?" Su Jing was very concerned about his colleague's movements.
"I want to return to my original world, continue to fulfill my duties, and protect the true truth." The Queen of Scepters led her attendants and left without looking back. Before leaving, she said goodbye to Su Jing.
"Goodbye." Su Jing waved to her with mixed feelings.
The Queen of Wands owns the original world, but she herself may just be a string of code created by "IF" and has no original world.
Perhaps, he can also possess the original world of truth and freedom.
The Order Ladder has been confirmed to have collapsed, and the system has begun calculating the rewards for each player.
Su Jing could only hear about his own rewards.
[System: Congratulations to Su Jing for successfully passing Circle One, Order World, points +200,000.]
Su Jian: ...
Please check the main system as soon as possible. I have told you many times that giving points to NPCs is useless!
Don’t understand Marshmallow Language?
[System: Congratulations to NPC Su Jian for killing NPC Order Ladder, KPI +3300.]
Su Jian:?
Is the gap between points and KPI a bit too big?
The system is really stingy.
[System: Congratulations to NPC Su Jian for obtaining the skill "Order Deduction" awarded by the Circle Master.]
[Skill Description: In any orderly environment, use this skill to predict what will happen in the next ten minutes. This skill can only be used three times per instance, and each use consumes 20 KPI points.]
"Su Qi, did you get the system reward?" Yu Qi Miao said to him, "I got an item, too."
"The circle leader was quite generous. I got points and props."
"A, what about you?"
A did not answer, and a blank card appeared in his hand.
He did not turn off the scanning function, so everyone can see the card information.
[Order Cards: The holder can write down a true order, and within a reasonable range, the order will be realized. For example, a dead player can be resurrected.]
【The card can only be used once, and will be invalid after use.】
"Resurrection item!" Lu Shufan was stunned. "Ah, you are the lucky one, right?"
"Su Jian is also very lucky, the only unlucky person in our team..."
Everyone looked at ERROR.
Not only are there no skills and props, but the points rewards are also forcibly deducted by half.
I don’t know what he did to the system to make it so hated.
The companions discussed changing the subject so as not to expose the ERROR scar.
"The circle is open."
"Let's go in."
"Oh, is there a choice?"
At the same time, the players in the Order World who were tortured by the cards watched in astonishment as the cards disappeared one after another.
"What's going on?"
"Someone was doing a clearance mission and accidentally killed the boss."
“…Big boss is awesome!”
**
[System: Welcome to the world of Circle 2, the kingdom of fairy tales.]
[Note: According to the wishes of the Fairyland Kingdom Circle Master, Circle 2 will be a solo mode. Players' previous companionship relationships will be canceled by default, but the guild will still be retained.]
ERROR interjected, "The companionship relationship is cancelled, so what about the lover relationship?"
【System: ...Reserved.】
"I know you and Su Jian are lovers, so don't mention it eight hundred times a day!"
"What can a lover do? The intimacy isn't just 0.02%."
Facing their ridicule, ERROR showed an unfathomable smile.
Su Qiong explained softly, "It's gone up a little bit now."
"How much has it increased?" the children asked nervously.
Su Qiong stretched out his hand and gestured with a small branch, "2%."
"Well."
Just listening to the 2% data, it is indeed very miserable for a relationship between lovers.
However, considering that they only had 0.02% originally, it has now increased a hundredfold.
I really don’t know whether I should bless them or sympathize with them.
[System: The main quest of the Fairy Tale Kingdom. Survive here for seven days and seven nights. If you survive, you can leave the dungeon.]
"Another seemingly simple task like this."
"Help, I'm having PTSD."
"Speaking of which, the name Fairy Tale Kingdom, doesn't it remind you of something?"
Everyone looked at the speaking fish for seven seconds, not understanding what they should associate with it.
Before Yu Qi could answer, a cheerful voice rang in his ears.
"It's me~" An NPC wearing a gorgeous Lolita dress, a satin hat, an exquisite cape, and holding an apple in his hand appeared.
"Who is it?" Shi Yuntian asked in a rough voice.
"It looks familiar."
Su Jian answered, "She was the circle leader NPC who went to the novice area to see you when you first entered the game."
At the beginning, there were three NPCs in the novice area, and only the girl actually showed her physical form.
The other two, one used a puppet to replace himself, and the other was wrapped in black mist and said nothing.
"Oh! It's her!" Shi Yuntian suddenly realized.
"Hehe, it seems you finally remembered me." The girl puffed out her chest proudly. "Being able to step into my territory means you guys have some skills. As a reward, I allow you to view my information."
A didn't bother to be polite with her and turned on the scanning function, revealing the girl's real information.
[NPC (Red)] Fairytale Princess
Level: 296
【Skill】? ? ?
“296?!”
After seeing the princess's rank, everyone couldn't help but doubt their eyes.
They knew that there was a difference between the circle leader NPC and ordinary NPC, but they didn't expect the difference to be so big.
After the "IF" level exceeds 30, the difficulty of each upgrade increases exponentially, and it will definitely take a long time to reach 296.
In addition, the NPC settings are much stronger than the players.
Even if they attacked together, they would not be able to defeat the fairy tale princess.
"Are you surprised?" the Fairy Tale Princess said unfazed. "The 'IN OFF' circle masters are divided into 100 levels per level. To be a circle master, you must be over 100 levels. To be a circle master, you must be over 200 levels."
"so."
They didn't have the courage to tell Apple that the circle leader of circle one was reduced to ashes by them and never had the chance to show his rank.
Apart from the Circle Master, the highest-level Queen of Scepters is currently only over level 80.
“When you enter my Kingdom, you will…”
The fairy princess was halfway through her words when Moi subconsciously added, "Observe your order."
"What order?" The fairy princess showed a puzzled expression.
It seems that there is no group among the circle leaders, and the information is not synchronized.
"Nothing!" Yu Qimiao said quickly.
"What should we do?" Lu Shufan brought the topic back to the right time.
"You just have to play with me and my friends. As long as we're happy, you can spend the next seven days safely." The Fairy Princess paused and her voice turned cold. "Otherwise..."
She didn't finish her words, but judging by what she said, the threat was obvious.
Su Jian: "We have to find a way to make them happy, otherwise, bad things will happen."
"knew."
"Next, please choose where you want to live." The fairy tale princess made a demonstration gesture, and a detailed map appeared in front of her.
Everyone was moved!
There is actually a normal map!
You can actually make your own choice without having to accept the system's forced assignment!
"The princess is indeed beautiful and kind-hearted."
"Hmph, even if you praise me now, if you make me angry later, I won't show mercy." The fairy tale princess said something tough, but she was very honest as she helped them introduce the situation of each place.
"The Fairy Tale Kingdom is divided into six areas. The first is the mountain area, home to numerous mountain animals. The second is the forest area, home to adorable forest elves. Further down is the suburban area, where Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma Wolf live. Continuing along the suburban area, you'll reach the bustling city area, where most of the Fairy Tale Kingdom's citizens live. In the center of the city is the castle where I live, along with my servants and family. Finally, there's the ocean area, where the mermaid transforms into foam."
"You can choose whatever you want, but no matter what choice you make, it is meaningless."
"Because we have to stay in every place once?"
"That's right," the Fairytale Princess said confidently, "If you want to pass through the Fairytale Kingdom, of course you want everyone in the kingdom to be happy."
"Okay, we understand." President Yu Qimiao nodded and looked at Su Qi again, "You choose."
"Okay." Su Jing did not refuse and walked to the map.
Fairytale Princess: "The mountainous areas are home to undeveloped animals, so the difficulty level is relatively low. Travelers from far away generally..."
Before he could finish his words, Su Jing had already chosen the Fairy Tale Palace without hesitation.
The fairy princess was speechless.
Just as the system said, he never plays by the rules.
“Puff.”
"Su Qi, you are indeed worthy of being me."
"Can't you choose?" Su Jing looked at her, his eyes gleaming with clarity.
"This is where I live!" The fairy princess put her hands on her hips, letting him see her own rank clearly. "I am much more powerful than you. Everyone in the palace is more powerful than you."
"I know." Su Qiong said confidently, "As long as I make you happy, you won't hurt me, right?"
"Those guys in the palace are so moody. You can't make everyone happy."
"Sure enough, this should be the final test you arranged, right?" Su Qiong analyzed logically. "The dungeon lasts a total of seven days, with only six areas, which means we have to challenge each area twice. According to your recommended method, we should start with the easy parts first and then go to the palace. By then, after staying in your territory for two consecutive days, even if we can understand the situation, we won't have time to formulate a strategy."
"Su Jian is right."
"We should go to the palace first, and then use the time in between to think of a plan."
"I don't mind." The fairy princess pouted. "If you can't make them laugh, are you ready to bear the consequences?"
ERROR: "No."
The fairy princess stared at him silently.
Even if ERROR is not prepared, the fairy princess cannot kill him.
Even the main system cannot erase this person.
"Come with me." The fairy princess turned around, her cape rising in a beautiful arc. "I'll take you to the castle."
Su Jing stared at her little cloak.
In addition to tactics, Su Jing also had a little selfish motive in choosing the castle.
He has been very fond of fairy tale princess accessories and cloaks since a long time ago. They look very expensive and have attack power.
Su Jing really wanted to get the princess's props.
——It would be nice if you could choose rewards after completing a level.
"Hey!" The Fairy Princess felt his eager gaze and said fiercely, "Your level is too low, I won't give it to you!"
"Really?"
The princess was determined: "I really can't!"
"Oh." Su Jing lowered his invisible ears.
Behind the scenes, a group of players secretly clenched their fists.
The baby wanted the fairy tale princess' props, and after being rejected, he showed such a pitiful expression.
How can this be!
Everyone secretly made up their minds that whatever Su Jian wanted must be obtained.
"IF" does have a special route setting. It only takes five minutes from the entrance of the circle to the castle.
The fairy princess came outside the castle and reminded them again, "The people in the castle are moody. If you are not sure you can make them laugh, just ignore them."
"I remember."
"Princess, you are indeed a good NPC!"
"Who is a good NPC?" The princess was angry. "I'm just worried that if you die at the hands of others, I won't be able to play anymore."
No matter how the princess explained, everyone still treated her as a good person.
I still remember when we were in the Novice Village, Her Royal Highness the Princess talked a lot and told them the hidden rules of the system.
The princess probably realized that she had revealed too much information, so she shut her mouth and stopped talking.
She tossed the apple in her hand and then caught it.
The guard inside heard the sound and immediately opened the heavy door.
"I'm going back to my bedroom. You guys take care of yourselves." After saying this, the princess disappeared from their sight without looking back.
The players observed the palace and found that it was very large, consisting of two pointed castles connected together, each castle was the size of the main Olympic stadium.
There were many people inside the castle, including guards, maids, ministers, nobles, and the king and queen.
Everyone looked serious, without a smile on their face, as if they were cursed.
Everyone should remember the princess's reminder, avoid the crowd after entering, explore the castle along the wall, and try not to come into contact with people around you.
However, there were too many people in the castle.
When they turned the corner, they were not paying attention and bumped into the woman coming down from upstairs.
The woman's face immediately fell and she became furious.
[System: The player bumped into the NPC, messing up her hair. Rage value +10. Please calm the woman down.]
[Tip: The NPC is detected to be at a low level. The player can leave only when the joy value reaches 20. If the anger value reaches 20, the NPC will be punished.]
"No way, you get angry just by bumping into someone?"
"Lu Shufan, hurry up and think of a solution. Isn't making women happy what you're best at?"
"I leave this to you, come on."
"We're leaving first."
"Hey, hey!" Before Lu Shufan could protest, his companions had disappeared without a trace, leaving him alone to face the angry woman.
Lu Shufan forced a smile and asked reluctantly, "Excuse me, do you want to change your hairstyle?"
After they had walked away, Moi looked back and asked, "Is it too much to leave him there alone?"
"No way. We have limited time. It's impossible for everyone to stay and deal with ordinary NPCs."
"The castle has many floors, and there are two castles in front and behind. We must have bumped into more than one NPC."
"Maybe everyone will have to deal with it later."
Qi Yi held her sister's hand tightly and said, "Don't be afraid. Even if we are separated, I will stay by your side."
"Yeah!" Moi shook her hand back firmly.
The two sisters set the flag very standardly, but not long after they walked, they bumped into the lampshade and angered the NPC in charge of cleaning and tidying up.
"They get irritated so easily."
"Sorry, it's all my fault!" Qi Yi took the initiative to take responsibility, stayed to help her clean up, and temporarily calmed the NPC's emotions.
The other people continued to walk up and bumped into several ordinary NPCs along the way.
When we reached the sixth floor, there were only three people left.
A looked at Su Jian on the left and then at ERROR on the right, and was not very willing to stand between them.
Unfortunately, the NPCs we encountered before were all ordinary NPCs of relatively low levels, so there was no need for them to appear. It dragged on and on, so we left it until the end.
"How many more floors are there?" ERROR asked.
Su Jing raised his neck and replied, "Two or three layers."
"Did you feel anything?" A looked around. "It's getting quieter."
There are a lot of NPCs coming and going on the lower floors, and you might bump into someone if you're not careful.
After reaching the sixth floor, there were only one or two NPCs around, and they were very cautious and didn't even make any sound.
"really."
They went up to another floor, and there were no NPCs here anymore.
Their intuition told them that such silence was not a good thing.
But they had no idea what would happen next.
"I have a way." Su Jian saw his companion's confusion and said, "I got the skills from the previous world."
After saying that, he spread out his hand, and a loading symbol appeared on his palm.
Su Qi closed his eyes and muttered quietly, "Order deduction."
Seven minutes later—
Su Jing opened his eyes, covered his chest, and took two steps back in pain.
"I'm dead..."
