Chapter 4: I am a complete fool for believing you
Chapter 4: I am a complete fool for believing you
In order to prove whether Chu Chengan's point of view was correct, both of them ate a lot of cookies and chocolate to fill their stomachs. Calculating the time, they have been busy here for almost a whole day. In a crisis environment, it is best to replenish their physical strength to deal with emergencies that may occur at any time.
They waited in the living room, one taking a short nap on the sofa, the other sitting on a dry stool with his eyes closed. Two more hours passed.
Chu Chengan said, "How about we go to the bedroom and take a nap first? I don't think the old woman will come tonight."
"No chance of a surprise attack while we're asleep or something?"
Chu Cheng was determined: "No, I'll go to the bedroom and rest for a while."
Why is he so confident? It stems from what Fat Rabbit told him before, that the difficulty level of this game is C-level, although it was later changed to B-level because he did not respect the system elves, the map will not be changed in essence. This is their Novice Village tutorial level, which is not that difficult. Besides, which game player was wiped out in the Novice Village?
After saying that, Chu Cheng'an didn't wait for Lu Zhenqiu anymore. He strode to the bed in the bedroom. This was the bed he first woke up on. The comfort of lying on it was no less than his own bed in his rental house.
After a while, Chu Cheng'an fell asleep, as if he was afraid of angering Lu Zhenqiu to death. His moderate snoring came from the bedroom and was just heard by Lu Zhenqiu.
Lu Zhenqiu was so speechless that he just rolled his eyes.
He is not a half-blind man who lives in the old times, is isolated from the world, never reads novels, and never watches science fiction movies.
Of course he knew the current danger level, but Chu Chengan actually let him sleep at this time? And he slept so soundly? Was he pushing all the pressure onto him?
Lu Zhenqiu didn't get angry but laughed instead.
After staring at Chu Cheng'an's bed for a while, he pulled out several biscuit pillars under the bed that supported the weight of the bed. After taking them away, he took them back to the living room to enjoy them.
I have to say that this alien world escape game also cost a lot of money. For example, the types of biscuits here are not all exactly the same. There are chocolate coated biscuits, wafer biscuits, cookie biscuits, and even finger biscuits with a salty cream flavor can be found here, serving as load-bearing pillars under Chu Chengan's bed.
Lu Zhenqiu loves salty food, and to advance the plot, he has to eat the food here. After much thought, the part where Chu Cheng installed the bed components was the most delicious, and then he forcibly dismantled the bed for others to sleep on.
The bed, with one third of it eaten away, could no longer bear Chu Chengan's strong weight. With a few crisp crackling sounds, it was crushed and completely scrapped, going on strike permanently.
Chu Chengan was also stunned by the fall. What kind of a mechanism was this? Fortunately, he was not seriously injured, but was a little frightened.
There is no clock here, and it is still pitch black outside. However, at this room temperature, the sun rises early in the summer, so it is probably not even 3 a.m. now, right?
Chu Cheng'an walked out of the bedroom door and saw Lu Zhenqiu sitting quietly on the sofa watching him walk out.
The other person said sarcastically, "Did you get enough sleep?"
"Why are you sitting there straight? Don't you want to rest?"
"You can sleep in this situation... If you don't know, you would think someone didn't let you sleep for three days."
"Hey..." What kind of complaining woman is speaking?
Chu Chengan decided that he should be kind enough to tell Lu Zhenqiu some information, otherwise he would scare himself to death before the old witch could catch him.
It was a not-so-difficult fairy-tale horror game, but he had to concentrate on it, working day and night, torturing himself to the point where it felt like the boss was behind him chopping him with a sickle at every moment.
Chu Chengan said: "We are in the Novice Village now. Do you know what the Novice Village is? Aren't you a good student? A good student should be knowledgeable. The knowledge in the game is also knowledge. It can be used in case you travel through time one day."
“…”
"Okay, let me tell you how difficult I guess the Novice Village is. There are only two of us players here, and the map is so small. So far, the only living NPC I've seen is an old woman. What does this mean? It means that this is not only a Novice Village, but also a tutorial level for the Novice Village. It's the easiest, the easiest game, you know? It's given to you to win. Don't be nervous and scare yourself. While there's still some time before dawn, hurry up and go to bed. My bed collapsed. You could have lay there for a while, but now you can only sleep on the sofa here."
“…”
Chu Chengan is still as talkative as before.
I only heard him say again: "Go to sleep, I'll keep watch."
Lu Zhenqiu replied that it was not necessary, but he still lay down and closed his eyes to rest. Even if he just closed his eyes, lying down could help him recover more energy and spirit to deal with the unknown of the next day.
Another hour passed, and the sky in the east began to turn pale. There was still no movement in the cabin, but Chu Chengan knew one thing.
When daybreak comes, the door to the balcony can be opened, and he can go explore the garden to see what items there are. The vines can be used as whips and branches can be used for both offense and defense. It's impossible that the plants are made of chocolate candies, right?
The fact really disappointed him.
It was bright outside, but Chu Chengan's heart was filled with raging winds and heavy rains...
There is not a single old tree in the garden, nor any trellises, so of course no vines can grow on them. There is not even a single weed. The only things in the whole yard are flowers of various colors that bear candies. It would be more appropriate to call them candies rather than flowers.
The branches of the flowers are made of chocolate, without any leaves, and the buds are the brightly colored candy wrappers that contain various candies.
The mud beneath my feet was like chocolate powder, and stepping on it made me feel guilty as if I was wasting food.
This is definitely a fairy tale world, completely separated from the real steel and concrete city they were familiar with before.
Chu Chengan threw away the two "flowers" he had pulled out.
There is nothing useful here.
Walking around these flowers, the fence at the back seems to be infused with some kind of magical power, making it impossible to get close. It feels like hitting an air wall.
"Is this the very edge of the map? There's no way out."
It really is a small map of a novice village.
With this level of difficulty, there is no need for a main storyline or a walkthrough.
Chu Chengan thought about what had happened before. The rabbit had arrogantly said that it would not tell him the main plot. Did he need that thing?
I went back to the room to see if Lu Zhenqiu had woken up. The sunlight outside was shining on his face, but he was still lying there. He must have been suspicious and refused to sleep in the middle of the night.
The plot has not yet been advanced.
Chu Chengan thought he had not eaten enough, so he ate two flowers from the garden, and then picked a little from the kitchen, living room, and bedroom.
As soon as eight o'clock in the morning arrived, the atmosphere felt a little strange, and Chu Chengan hurriedly woke up Lu Zhenqiu.
"Wake up, I feel the old witch coming."
Lu Zhenqiu rubbed his eyes and was about to ask Chu Chengan if they should give up the living room space to let the old lady cook?
A strong smell of meat wafted from the garden, which pushed the two people's hunger to the extreme.
They have been eating sweets since yesterday morning and now, and they are so sick of it.
Reason prevailed over impulse. No matter how hungry Chu Chengan was, he knew that there was a trap outside.
He looked through the window and said to Lu Zhenqiu, "That pot outside is the one the old witch is going to use to boil us. But we haven't found her yet. She must be hiding somewhere outside. Let's split up and catch her and throw her into the pot as soon as possible so that we can pass the level."
His mind worked quickly and his power was extremely strong, and he immediately wanted to pull Lu Zhenqiu to the garden outside.
result……
He found that his legs were a little slow. Not just slow... after taking two steps, it felt like his legs were filled with lead and he couldn't walk anymore.
This is a deadly system. Isn't he the younger sister Gretel? In the plot, the brother's legs can't move, and he is tied up by an old witch and almost thrown into the pot.
He saw that Lu Zhenqiu looked fine and was moving freely, but he himself was in big trouble.
"Lu Zhenqiu... I... I can't walk anymore..."
Damn it, now he can only bow his head and speak to Lu Zhenqiu.
Lu Zhenqiu had never heard of this plot and he didn't understand it.
"What's going on? Are your legs numb at this critical moment? Try pounding them a few times? Punch yourself a few times."
"…It's useless. I just hit you. The more I hit you, the more unconscious you become. Hey, don't hit me anymore."
Chu Cheng'an was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his back.
He heard the door open and thought that the old witch had heated up the pot and was about to come in to get her ingredients for soup.
How did the plot suddenly change so quickly? Didn't they coexist harmoniously for several days in the original plot?
Oh, he was the one who hit the old woman first...
Lu Zhenqiu wanted to move a chair to block the door, but found it was useless. The chair was pushed open.
He glanced at Chu Cheng'an, then quickly went into the kitchen.
"Oh my god, Lu Zhenqiu you..."
He also didn't expect Lu Zhenqiu to carry him on his back and escape together. He couldn't imagine what Lu Zhenqiu would look like with him on his back.
But it was impossible to say that he wasn't sad when he saw that someone had abandoned him and was running away just to save himself.
Chu Cheng'an greeted all eighteen generations of Lu Zhenqiu's ancestors in his heart.
As soon as the old witch entered the room, she saw Chu Cheng'an, whose legs seemed to be stuck to the floor and unable to move. She laughed again, making the same creepy giggle as she did last night.
Chu Cheng'an was not afraid. He was not the kind of person who would be easily frightened. However, when the old woman's withered hands lifted up the back of his clothes and carried him outside to the garden, he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Your hands are so black, how many days have you not washed them?
The system sets the dungeon boss to be extremely strong and able to lift anything. Chu Chengan didn't find it strange at all that an old woman in her seventies or eighties lifted up a living man who was eight feet tall.
"Old lady, let's make a deal, okay? I'm just tall, not fat. Can you keep me for a few days and then put me in the pot when I'm fat?"
The old witch remained indifferent and walked straight to her big iron pot in the yard.
Ahhh, I’m going to be cooked, Lu Zhenqiu, I’m not done with you!!!
Chu Chengan let out a final roar from the bottom of his heart.
