Chapter 89 "Witch's Kaleidoscope" 12 Plan
Xu An gently cut a wound on his hand, and bright red blood flowed out, forming a sharp contrast with his fair skin.
Zhuci asked: "Is there any change in the points?"
Xu An glanced at his own panel and shook his head: "No."
Zhu Ci's hand paused as he was turning the pages of the book.
The book will not reveal clues discovered by other players.
"Take these with you, I'll verify them first." Zhu Ci said.
Xu An nodded.
…
[“What on earth is the anchor doing?”
"Who knows? I looked and saw that someone has made more progress than him."
"In this game, every second counts. Look at what the anchor is doing? He's just wandering around."
"It's really casual to just play around."
"What do you know? When did you guess the host's move before? You cursed him and gave him attention at the same time. You are such a masochist."
"Hahaha, old fans just smiled and said nothing. The host of this dungeon has already been ahead of others in discovering the rules of the game. Don't you guys understand?"]
…
"Only one day has passed." Mo Anan looked at the points ranking with some worry.
The previous congratulations were indeed the first, and he was indeed the first to enter someone else's world, but it was useless.
There is no player here who has not played more games than him. The current No. 1 is a madman who grabs points at every opportunity.
One third of the players have already figured out how to get points by harming other players, and ten people have died so far.
Zhuci is currently ranked third, which is the level where he himself is not anxious but others are anxious for him.
"He's already asleep. It seems like he really came here with the intention of participating." Mo Yangbing said. This mentality is indeed something that makes people very envious.
"But a lot of people took the opportunity to find fault." Mo Anan sighed.
Some people scolded Zhu Ci for gaining a false reputation, and some said that he looked down on the Desperate Guild and deliberately showed off to provoke Little Red Riding Hood.
Of course, the news that the Despair Guild was targeting them before the speech was no secret, so it was inevitable that someone was deliberately stirring up trouble to please the Despair Guild.
For a newcomer, ranking in the top three among dozens of people is already a very high standard.
However, those who deliberately caused trouble waited and waited only for the Despair Guild to clarify the matter of cheating in the blessing speech, which was really confusing.
…
No matter how loud the discussion about him was, Zhu Gong could not hear it, and even if he did hear it, he probably would not take it to heart.
He naturally has his own way of doing things, and others cannot interfere. Even if they don't understand, so what?
The next level of Xu An’s copy will be interesting.
The corridor ahead seemed to have nothing in it. Xu An was about to go forward but Zhu Ci stopped him.
That's not what's shown on the console.
There are densely packed, almost invisible threads in front.
The thread does have a glimmer of hope, as long as you find the right angle, it will not be impossible to get through.
But the difficulty is...
top of head.
"The ceiling." Zhuci said.
Xu An looked up.
The ceiling of this level is at a much higher angle. You have to look up hard to find a huge dark spider on the purple dome. The color of the spider is really hard to detect, which makes it even more terrifying.
"Wow!" Xu An was startled.
"You stand there. The token of the next level may be related to these threads." Zhu Ci suddenly decided not to let Xu An go first.
He took a few steps forward and said calmly, "Pay attention to your points."
Xu An stared at Zhu Ci blankly: "Brother Ci, are you...really okay?"
If he heard correctly, the meaning of the speech was that he was willing to risk his life to give him points?
The speech has reached the edge of danger.
[“Wow, a real person is online. Can the anchor’s small body really handle it?”
"Wuwuwuwu, I'm beginning to suspect that you two are having an affair."】
Zhuci didn't look crazy, of course, you could hardly see any other expression on his face.
He took a long stride forward and rushed forward unarmed.
Xu An's heart skipped a beat and she was almost scared to death by him.
The cold blade flashed with a cold light and cut through the spider silk in a few strokes. Zhu Ci's figure was not as good as those anchors who were famous for fighting, but he was too calm, and his movements were extremely smooth, as if he had rehearsed them many times in his mind.
These threads must be able to be cut, otherwise the materials cannot be submitted and the subsequent levels cannot be passed.
But if it were that simple, it would of course be impossible.
Zhu Ci made a knife-shaped gesture and turned around beautifully, her hair fluttering lightly and her breathing was not too disordered.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: how convenient it is to not have to eat.
[“Yeah, handsome.”
"Okay, okay, we don't have to take first place in this competition, although I've placed a bet with the anchor. As long as I can please him, that's all."
"Ahhh, no, didn't you notice that he hasn't gone out yet?"
…
Yes, it is strange that although the blessing cuts half of the thread, it does not seem to be intended to cross the road.
He stood in the middle with his head raised.
The eyes are connected to the big spider above.
In an instant, his brows furrowed.
“Swish!”
Many threads pierced through the thread in an instant, stronger than spider silk, and even flashing a dazzling cold light at a certain moment. The boy standing in the middle was as weak as a mirror.
Zhu Ci broke out in a cold sweat and tears flowed at that moment, but at the same time, he tried his best to cut off the spider silk around him.
Those threads could dig into the ground firmly, but when some of them penetrated his arms, they seemed to connect to several points of his nerves, making him feel stiff instantly.
Being a puppet is not a hardship. Neurotoxins are used to reduce your ability to think, turning you into a puppet that can only move when it receives instructions.
When Zhu Ci turned over and walked back, he threw the fruit knife upward with force.
There was no blood coming out of the shoulder, just some poison.
"How is it?" Zhu Ci asked.
Xu An: "Brother Ci, are you okay?"
He looked up at Zhu Ci and saw him wipe away his tears. Then he asked, "Has the score changed?"
Xu An then looked at the panel: "Yes."
Then he asked in surprise, "Brother, are you risking your life for me?"
Congratulations: "No."
He threw down two words lightly, but probably no one believed him.
But the speech was not really about that, he was just exploring the rules.
In other words, as long as other players are damaged in your space, even if you did not mean to do so and do not know the specific process, your points will be increased.
The fact that Zhu Ci's bloody hand did not cause any score change may have been because the danger he faced was not dangerous enough.
Just to explore this one rule, he took the risk of getting injured.
As for the spider...
Zhu Ci raised his eyes and looked.
The spider was virtually unharmed.
That's right, with his arm strength, it was impossible for him to throw that high, and he lost a fruit knife.
Um……
"Is your injury okay?"
"No problem." Zhuci said.
It was just a little bit of paralyzing poison. There was really no point in keeping his points. He wouldn't feel too bad even if he spent them all on detoxification pills.
"Let's go."
Zhu Ci picked up the game console again.
To be honest, using a game console is much easier than using a real person, and even monsters will be restricted by it.
Xu An showed a bitter expression.
…
After picking up a bunch of strange threads and passing through some boring machines, they arrived at the next platform.
The spider silk is indeed a door-opening tool.
The space inside this door is very similar to the previous one, the difference is that there are many silk threads hanging down from the ceiling, lightly falling on the bodies of several dolls.
Zhu Ci glanced at Xu An, who was also looking at him, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
"Brother Ci, I'm a little tired. Why don't I take a rest here for a while?" Xu said secretly.
"Um."
The game console's screen stopped at the reward interface. The protagonist sat on the ground obediently, as if he was also entangled by an invisible thread.
Zhu Ci looked at Xu An seriously, and he really lowered his head to look for something.
He said nothing and then searched in the corner.
He gathered up everything that represented the other players and placed them on the center table.
As for his own story, it is undoubtedly included in it.
He took out his diary, stacked the two books together, and soon one of them disappeared.
Zhuci: "..." His eyebrows jumped. If he had known this, he would not have put them together. He also wanted to see the background of his own copy from others.
But now that it has happened, there is nothing we can do.
Speaking of which, Xu An's token seems to have never appeared.
Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in the minds of all players.
【“Congratulations to the player, progress of leaving the dungeon is 1/32.”
"Next, turn on the looting mode. Killing a player will allow you to inherit his extra points."】
When this announcement came out, all the players and spectators were stunned.
A day passed, what happened?
Xu An suddenly stood still in the corner, and he seemed to be holding something in his arms.
"Brother Ci, what did you find?"
Zhu Ci looked at his back and said softly, "I don't know either. I guess I was targeted."
When he saw Xu An's reaction, he knew that he was not the only one who heard the system sound.
This copy of the game really likes to target him, and every little discovery must be made public, wishing that he would become a thorn in everyone's eyes.
In addition, players in this dungeon cannot see the points ranking, so it is now generally estimated that Zhuci has the most points here.
Zhu Ci opened the panel and took a look. Although he received a report worth sharing with other players, his points only increased by 2 points.
22 points.
"How many points did you gain just now?" Zhu Ci asked.
"3 points." Xu said secretly.
It seems that this dungeon still encourages players to kill each other.
With Zhuci's current military strength... not to mention now, even in the future, he would be strong enough to fight him one-on-one.
【“What does this system announcement mean? Can someone explain it?”
"Collecting each player's own representative objects in the dungeon can increase the progress of leaving the dungeon? Why did the anchor tell that person that he didn't know?"
"What I mean is that the system openly supports players killing each other. It's only been one day, and half of the people still don't know that their world is connected to others."
"No, no, no, you all missed the point. The important point is that the host is going to get beaten. The players in the dungeon are different from us. They don't know the host's current ranking... Tsk, he's already fourth, although fourth is nothing. But they may think that the host has the highest points, and he looks weak, so they may find ways to make trouble for the host and kill him."
"Well, judging from the challenge to the big spider just now, it's obvious that the anchor has no advantage in fighting."
"Don't challenge the giant spider. He looks like a delicate flower that needs mercy."
"Well... stop arguing. Is the anchor about to rise? Is he finally going to attack other players?"]
Zhuci picked up the pen, but it was different from what others thought.
