Chapter 230 Enter One, Destroy One
Just as I was thinking, a system prompt suddenly sounded in my mind -
9527: [A god-level (the highest level in this game world) item has been detected - the sheath of the divine staff! ]
9527: [Congratulations to the contestants! ]
Wen Nan was slightly startled. He hadn't heard the voice of the 9527 system for a long time, and he was a little uncomfortable.
After a moment of hesitation, Wen Nan skillfully opened the introduction page of [Scabbard of the Divine Staff] in his mind——
[Scabbard of the Scepter: Grand Mage Aghanim foresaw the shattering of the Scepter, and before that, he created this scabbard for the Scepter. With the scabbard and all 12 pieces of the Scepter scattered in the game world, the Scepter can be recast.
The owner of the divine staff has the same status as the Supreme God of this world. Becoming the Supreme God of this world will give you the ability to subvert the world.
The Scepter's Sheath is a model that brings the 12 fragments together, a key to unlocking the world's top secrets, and an important cornerstone to help you ascend to the Supreme Throne! The moment you pick up the Scepter's Sheath, you are already the Chosen One closest to the Supreme Throne in this game world.
Please cherish your luck and achievements, become a sheath bearer, a candidate for the Supreme Throne, and an apostle who searches for the lost fragments! 】
After the description of this item ends, an options page appears below:
[Gather the remaining "Replica Soul" energy in your palm into the sheath of the Scepter, and you will be able to bind it permanently to the sheath. Do you want to bind it now? ]
【A. Permanently bound, immediately becomes the sheath bearer. 】
[B. Temporary binding. Your ownership of the Scepter's Scabbard will last for 72 hours. After 72 hours, if no new Scabbard Holder candidate appears, you can complete the temporary binding again. If a new Scabbard Holder candidate appears, all candidates will start the qualification test, and the winner can complete the temporary binding. ]
【C. If you refuse to bind, you will lose the qualification to become a sheath bearer forever.】
Looking at these options, Wen Nan fell into deep thought.
Judging from the descriptions of the options, first of all, you definitely cannot choose C, because once you choose it, there will be no room for regret.
If he chooses B, he will have to rebind every 3 days. If after 3 days, other candidates (Wen Nan guessed that this should refer to all players who have the Scepter Fragment) appear and want to compete with him for the qualification, then they will have to take the test together, and whoever wins will be bound.
That is to say, every three days, Wen Nan will face the risk of losing the binding qualification.
If you choose A, you can bind the sheath of the scepter without any worries.
This [Scabbard of the Divine Staff] is actually the highest-level item in the entire game world.
However, unlike the introductions to the props and equipment that Wen Nan had obtained before, this introduction contained a lot of empty and pretentious words, but did not even provide a clear function or benefit of use.
"Having the ability to subvert the world", what kind of ability does this specifically refer to? Wen Nan asked the system, but only received the reply that the information was to be unlocked.
Judging from the introduction, after obtaining the status of the Scabbard Bearer, he will be forced to shoulder the task of finding all 12 pieces of the Scepter fragments.
The system was unwilling to reveal to him what the punishment would be if he was permanently bound but did not fulfill his duties as an apostle.
However, what is certain is that the owners of such a powerful item as the Scepter Fragment are all top-level powerhouses in this gaming world. To collect those fragments, one must stand on the opposite side of them.
Wen Nan is now an entry-level player who has just reached the threshold of the intermediate dungeon. He does not think that he has the ability to fight against those top-level players.
"Having the ability to subvert the world" does sound like a delicious pie, but Wen Nan has a small appetite now and can't eat it.
After thinking it over, Wen Nan finally chose option B: temporary binding.
The moment the option was pressed, a breathing light immediately emerged from the outer shell of the scepter's sheath. The light converged on the 12 runes, including half of the "∈" rune belonging to Pisces.
The rune was projected into the air and pushed in front of Wen Nan.
Wen Nan raised his hand and pressed the “∈” in the center of the golden driving pattern on his palm tightly.
The next moment, a dazzling light shone from inside the sheath of the divine staff, as if it was going to completely penetrate its hard outer shell.
In my mind, the system prompt sounded——
9527: [Congratulations to the contestant! You have successfully completed the temporary binding with the sheath of the divine staff! ]
9527: [Within 72 hours from now, you will become the owner of the Scepter's Scabbard and have full rights to use and control it. During this period, any attempt to steal or deprive you of this power will be sanctioned by this game world.]
The sheath in his hand shook twice, and the golden light gradually went out, returning to the shape of a wooden stick.
The wooden stick gradually shrank in Wen Nan's palm, and finally became the size of a USB flash drive.
Wen Nan used his fingertips to stroke the 12 runes as thin as mosquito feet and found that after being shrunk, these runes were just embedded in a rectangular frame. It looked very much like the secret door on the roof of Wen Nan's guest room in Blizzard Villa.
With a thought in mind, Wen Nan pressed his fingertips on the square.
With a "click", the "small door" opened, and inside was actually an adapter.
"DUDU chip! Insert!"
The white sweeping robot hanging on the wall shouted excitedly in its tinny electronic voice.
Sure enough, just as Wen Nan had guessed at the beginning, the sheath of the divine staff, like the G. point in the Irene Building before, could also carry that special chip.
He opened his own player interface in the system and was about to open the equipment reserve column to take out the chip and Guan Ailin's locked card when he caught a glimpse of a small red dot with a message prompt in the upper right corner.
Wen Nan clicked on the message and found that it was the result of his mission in the Blizzard Villa dungeon.
When the final task was concluded, Wen Nan was inside the sheath of the magic wand, busy pounding clam meat, and did not have time to check the results.
Also, he did not expect that after the inner wall of the sheath of the divine staff was broken, he would be teleported directly back to the lounge, so he did not have time to complete the experience value calculation.
Because of that "one wish", the system still helped him complete the settlement and presented the results dutifully and responsibly -
[Contestant Ye Jiu, the main mission results are as follows: Completion status: Completed; Mission score: 90 points; Mission rating: Excellent;
Additional rewards: None;
Targets: 1. The hostess of Blizzard Villa; 2. The designer and builder of Blizzard Villa; 3. The alchemist; 4. The guardian of the sheath of the scepter;
Strategy difficulty: ★★★★★★★★★★★☆;
Live broadcast room popularity settlement: 52,836 gold coins;
Live broadcast room opening settlement: 698,121 gold coins;
Live broadcast room reward settlement: 28,727 gold coins;
Account balance: 3,020,513 gold coins. 】
The first thing that pops up is the result of the third main mission.
The mission scores and ratings are, unsurprisingly, still excellent. After all, he has a mature character who is very good at self-strategy.
However, there were two things that surprised Wen Nan. The first was the opening settlement of the live broadcast room, which reached an unprecedented amount of nearly 700,000 gold coins!
In fact, when the first main task was settled, Wen Nan received 400,000 gold coins. The reason why there were so many, Wen Nan guessed, was because it was the first time he entered the intermediate copy, and there were high-level people in the audience who were rich and stupid sponsors, and they all went all in.
But this all-in was a one-time thing, and everyone immediately learned their lesson in the second main mission, resulting in him only getting a pitiful 20,000 gold coins in his second opening settlement.
Unexpectedly, the last time, before opening the secret door, Wen Nan asked the host whether he could successfully get out of the secret room on the roof. Almost all the audience all bet that he could not get out.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This directly increased Wen Nan's account balance to three million.
Three million gold coins were enough to upgrade this small office of their guild.
In addition to the account balance, there was another point that surprised Wen Nan - the last character identity of Yu Shou Ling, which was previously in a waiting state, was finally displayed.
She is the guardian of the sheath of the divine staff. After Wen Nan successfully opened the sheath of the divine staff, the originally hidden information was naturally revealed.
[Name: Amulet Zero (Little Zero)]
[Background: Yushou Ling always believed that he was abandoned by his parents from the moment he was born. When he was dying, he was rescued by an old man who went up the mountain to mine and was taken in by him. However, this was not the case.
The reason why Yushou Zero has no father or mother is because she was created by this old man himself.
This old man, whom Amulet Zero respects as his father, is the projection of a memory left in this game world after the death of the Grand Mage Aghanim.
This great magician separated an independent consciousness from the sheath of the divine staff, and used it as the soul to mold the guardian of the sheath of the divine staff. After tens of millions of times of model training, he made it into an innocent young female character.
TA kept the female character in the sheath of the magic staff, and buried the sheath deep on the top of a snowy mountain where no one cared, waiting for an opportunity to come.
A hundred years later, this opportunity finally arrived.
Yu Shou Zero's consciousness was awakened. Under the guidance of the memory projection of the Grand Mage Aghanim, she learned about the world and learned crafts.
Yushou Ling was very knowledgeable and obsessed with alchemy. After the old man introduced her to the art, she devoted almost her entire life to alchemy and her faithful guarding of the sheath of the sacred staff.
She used her talent, perseverance, and patience to create one work after another that amazed the world, including Blizzard Villa, Adam's Rib Powder, and Ye Jiu's One-Night Ecstasy Cream...
Because of her duty of guarding the sheath of the scepter and her obsession with alchemy, she has locked herself in her room most of the time since she woke up, living a life almost isolated from the world.
Until your unexpected intrusion, her originally simple and peaceful life was completely broken...】
After reading the updated character background introduction from beginning to end, Wen Nan fell into deep thought.
Previously in the main quest of the dungeon, Wen Nan had vaguely guessed that the secret door was related to the fragment of the divine staff. Moreover, when Yu Shou Ling mentioned his father, Wen Nan briefly suspected that it might be the great magician.
However, considering that the age difference between the two was more than a hundred years, Wen Nan gave up his guess.
Unexpectedly, the reason for the hundred-year difference was because the Grand Mage used his own memory projection.
And now, after completing the previously unlocked information, everything is clear——
The sheath of the divine staff was made by the great magician himself. It is a top-level prop used to collect fragments and recast the divine staff.
And the seemingly naive Yushou Zero was actually trained by the great magician.
Why is the guardian of the scabbard of the divine staff, which can hold all 12 fragments, only 11 and a half stars? Why not create a character with a higher star rating to protect this divine item? Wen Nan had a vague guess in his mind about this question -
Grand Magister Aghanim can create female characters, but he does not have the right to decide the strategy level of the characters he creates.
If Yushou Zero was just awakened a hundred years later because of the arrival of a special opportunity, then as Yushou Zero herself once mentioned, she was opening the door to welcome guests for the first time.
That is to say, before Wen Nan, Yu Shou Ling had never interacted with any players, and she was not like other characters who were created by the game system in each copy. She was created by the Grand Mage himself.
This results in the game system used to evaluate the difficulty of her strategy having almost no prior data as a training set, and it is difficult to accurately calculate the star rating of Amulet Zero.
In this case, the programmer of this game will most likely directly return a default value to her, and this default value may be the average star rating, the median, or simply a random number.
In short, this eleven and a half star level is most likely not the true level of Yushou Zero.
Yushou Zero is probably the character with the greatest growth potential among the many strategy characters that Wen Nan has encountered so far.
If Wen Nan had not accidentally taken the Scepter's Sheath out of the map, and if Blizzard Villa continued to serve as a dungeon and continuously accepted new players, Wen Nan believed that within a few rounds, the star level of the character Yu Shou Zero would have increased by leaps and bounds.
Unfortunately, this dungeon was unlucky. As soon as it was opened, it was uprooted by Wen Nan. The most important props were taken out by him. I am afraid that the growth space of Yu Shou Ling was also ruined? But then again, how come this dungeon was taken away by Wen Nan again? In the first trial dungeon, Yu Shujun and Wen Nan had a conflict and destroyed all the refresh points. In the second primary dungeon, due to the bug in the map and Wen Nan's stealing of the chip, a major accident occurred in the entire map and it was directly closed.
Now that this third intermediate dungeon has just been opened for the first time, Wen Nan has brought out the Scepter Scabbard, and it is once again facing the crisis of destruction...
At this point in the game, Wen Nan still doesn't know how to close the game if he has completed it normally and the refresh point is intact.
Is he some kind of dungeon map killer?
