The Dragon's Treasure (9)
Andrew suddenly sighed and said, "It's a long story..."
Then, he walked into the room.
In order to hear what Andrew had to say, Jian Tanxi and Princess Mia couldn't help but follow him.
Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, Andrew suddenly pressed a button.
Then, a heavy iron door slammed down, separating the three of them into a small room.
Princess Mia asked in a panic, "General Andrew, what are you doing?"
General Andrew said coldly, "Once you're dead, no one will know where that head came from."
Then, General Andrew drew his sword and stabbed at the two men.
Princess Mia drew her sword to meet the attack, and Jian Tanxi also took out her interstellar triangular pyramid and joined the battle.
The two men barely managed to fight General Andrew to a draw.
At this moment, Jian Tanxi took out a prop—a blindfold—and covered General Andrew's eyes.
The blindfold couldn't be removed quickly, so General Andrew couldn't see and was at a disadvantage.
Jian Tanxi and Princess Mia worked together to defeat General Andrew and tie him up with ropes.
General Andrew, however, was not afraid. He sneered, "This room is made of iron on all four sides, and the iron door is so thick that no one can open it. We will all die here. I would rather die than lose my status as a general."
Princess Mia asked, "So, that dragon's head wasn't obtained in battle? How did you get it?"
"I may tell you, when I was a teenager, I accidentally saw a dragon's nest and found a skeleton inside. I stole the skeleton's head and pretended it was a trophy."
"Besides that head, were the other items in your exhibition hall obtained through this method as well?"
"Pretty much. How could I become a general without these spoils of war? As long as we die here together, no one will know what happened."
Jian Tanxi used the interstellar triangular pyramid to chisel at the walls and iron gates, but found that he couldn't chisel them.
She tried even harder, but it still didn't work.
It seems that the iron on this planet is much harder than that on Earth, so the interstellar pyramid can't do anything to it.
General Andrew laughed and said, "I told you, there's no need to waste your time; no one can open it."
Jian Tanxi remembered that General Andrew had pressed a button before the iron gate was lowered.
So she pressed that button, but it didn't work.
General Andrew said, "That button can only be pressed once; it becomes ineffective after the iron gate is lowered."
Jian Tanxi suddenly said, "That's not right."
General Andrew: "What's wrong?"
“Your original plan was to kill us in the secret room so you could continue being your general. If that’s the case, you must have prepared an escape route; you couldn’t have trapped yourself here.”
Andrew's expression changed; he hadn't expected Jian Tanxi to be so clever.
Princess Mia stepped forward and kicked General Andrew, asking, "Are you going to talk or not? If you don't, I'll beat you until you do."
Andrew sneered, "Princess, do you think I would reveal how I got out? If I did, my scheme would be exposed. I'd rather die than tell anyone; at least no one will know what happened."
Princess Mia didn't waste any words and actually beat Andrew up. However, General Andrew remained completely silent.
Jian Tanxi deliberately said, "General Andrew, just tell us how to get out."
Andrew snorted but didn't say anything.
At this moment, Jian Tanxi appeared somewhat panicked, but secretly activated her mind-reading ability.
Andrew's inner thoughts: "I will never tell them how I got out, never... Hahahaha..."
Jian Tanxi: ...
Not a single useful word was spoken.
At this moment, Jian Tanxi came up with a solution.
She dragged General Andrew to the iron gate and made him lean against it.
Then, Jian Tanxi activated her script modification ability: "Script modification ability activated: 'General Andrew was lying next to the iron gate.' Change 'next to' to 'below,' 'General Andrew was lying below the iron gate.'"
At this moment, General Andrew uncontrollably opened the iron gate.
He first recited a spell over the iron gate, then bit his finger and smeared the blood on the gate.
At this moment, the iron gate slowly rose.
General Andrew could no longer lean against the iron gate, so he slid down and lay on the ground, right below the gate.
Thus, Jian Tanxi and Princess Mia successfully left.
They told the king about General Andrew's crimes. The king was furious and stripped Andrew of his position, demoting him to hard labor, where he would have to work tirelessly for the rest of his life.
The king also took out the giant dragon head from Andrew's house and gave it to Jian Tanxi.
Jian Tanxi returned to the mountain where the dragon was with the head.
At this point, the dragon had already been released by the players.
When it saw its mother's head, it quickly took it and placed it on its mother's bones.
After a short while, the skull was put back in place, and it carried its mother's remains back deep into the nest.
Referee Peter appeared: "Congratulations on completing the game—The Dragon's Treasure. Now, please receive your rewards."
Jian Tanxi gained 1 superpower and 4 items.
The superpower is X-ray vision, which can be used once per game.
The props are:
Four Ruyi flowers.
A multi-flavor water bottle. Pour in water, and you can pour out any beverage, such as black tea, green tea, cola, etc.
Mood Regulator. This allows you to detect the mood of a person or animal and choose to raise or lower their mood value. If used properly, it can be quite helpful in the game.
Two hidden cards. You can choose to hide a person, item, or thing for 20 minutes. For example, hiding the strongest enemy in battle can increase your chances of winning.
In this game, Jian Tanxi made the biggest contribution, and the referee gave her an ecological ball with 600,000 people on it.
Jian Tanxi accepted it.
Before Jian Tanxi could even speak to her teammates, she was teleported away.
This time, she was teleported to a forest.
There were some wild fruits in the woods, and Jian Tanxi thought that Qu Chen would definitely like them.
She picked a few wild fruits, intending to give them to Qu Chen, but suddenly realized that Qu Chen was not by her side.
Qin Man and Professor Pan were not there either.
Jian Tanxi searched everywhere for the three of them, but then suddenly remembered that they had been together because of the powerful companionship spray.
However, the powerful companion spray only lasts for six games.
That game was in its sixth round, and the companion spray had already lost its effectiveness.
Jian Tanxi is alone again.
She had grown accustomed to Qin Man and Professor Pan's company, and to taking Qu Chen around to play.
But everything has drifted away from her...
She didn't know where Qin Man, her son, and Professor Pan had been transported to, nor when she would see them again.
She wandered aimlessly, knowing full well that she was unlikely to see anyone she knew, but a sliver of hope remained in her heart.
However, she didn't find anyone by nightfall.
She sat on the hillside, quietly enjoying the evening breeze, and gradually accepted this reality.
From now on, I can only rely on myself.
In fact, she has always relied on herself. It's just that she used to run into acquaintances from time to time, which made her feel less isolated and helpless.
The current situation is a huge test for her.
Jian Tanxi decided to find a place to stay first.
I don't know where this forest is, or if there are any wild animals there. I should protect myself first.
She took out a prop—a life-saving compass—and let it guide her.
The compass is pointing southwest, so it seems the southwest is the safest direction.
She took out the Eye of the Full Moon for illumination, but it wasn't bright enough, so she could only carefully head southwest.
About half an hour later, she found a wooden house ahead and went in to rest for a while.
There were candles and matches in the cabin, so she lit the candles.
There were some old clothes in the room, so Jian Tanxi pasted them on the windows to block the light from the candles.
In this way, no one or wild animals will discover that there are people in the house for the time being.
It was already the dead of winter, and she warmed her hands by the dim light of the candle.
In the stillness of the night, her mind became much clearer.
She began to think about what she should do next.
The first priority is to improve one's own strength and acquire more superpowers and items. This way, one can be of greater help to other Earthlings in the future.
Then, in the game, try your best to protect your fellow countrymen and avoid killing each other.
The Earthlings chosen by the aliens to participate in the game are all exceptional individuals. If they were to kill each other, it would certainly be a loss for the entire planet.
In the previous rounds, she had been trying to protect all the players. Most of the time, she succeeded.
Third, make the greatest possible contribution in the game to obtain more ecospheres and save more Earthlings.
Fourth, we must find ways to save the Earth, stop the game, and drive away the aliens.
However, there's not much she can actually do; most of the time, she can only act according to the situation in the instance.
She yawned and drifted off to sleep.
In the following period, Jian Tanxi participated in many games, and she performed exceptionally well in most of them.
Later, her reputation grew, and many players called her "Shen Jian".
Although the players you meet in each game are mostly strangers, the further you go, the more people you meet will have heard of Jian Tanxi.
This is enough to prove that, through word of mouth among players, Jian Tanxi's name has become widely known.
This was unexpected for Jian Tanxi, but she quite enjoyed everyone's admiration.
At the same time, she also became more responsible.
Since so many people call her "Simple Goddess", it means she is already one of the best players.
She is one of the most likely people to resolve the global crisis, and she must take on this responsibility.
That day, Jian Tanxi was pulled into another instance.
She looked around and found herself in a palace, decorated in a style similar to a Western palace.
There was a huge dressing mirror next to it, the surface of which was clean and tidy, and the edges were carved with intricate patterns.
There were four unfamiliar players standing around Jian Tanxi; they must be her teammates for this mission.
Jian Tanxi glanced around and didn't recognize a single person.
Therefore, Jian Tanxi became wary.
She had encountered teams before where everyone schemed against and distrusted each other, so she had to be extra careful.
A cute girl in a denim outfit spoke first: "Hi, my name is Han Mengqi, may I ask who you are?"
Jian Tanxi said, "My name is Jian Tanxi."
As soon as he finished speaking, two girls looked at him with disbelief and happiness.
Han Mengqi looked Jian Tanxi over carefully and asked, "Are you the legendary God Jian?"
Although she was used to being addressed that way, Jian Tanxi still smiled and said, "Yes."
"Great! I'm on the same team as Jian Shen. Jian Shen, carry me through the game!"
