Chapter 12 Siren Town



Bai Liu understood why the driver used the words beautiful and sophisticated to describe this mermaid who was caught for the first time.

Compared to the finely crafted wax sculptures of mermaids, this mermaid skeleton looks like a crude, cheap tourist souvenir.

Bai Liu was very fond of items that looked expensive, so he walked forward and took a look at the introduction next to the mermaid.

[Siren, this creature was caught in a collective capture activity in Siren Town on the night of xx/xx/xx. After verification by relevant organizations, it was confirmed that it had no artificial synthetic factors and was a rare creature that grew naturally under purely natural conditions.]

[…After being captured, they were already in a corpse state, and then sealed in a solidifying liquid, and preserved in the central exhibition hall of the Siren Wax Museum for visitors to visit]

This thing must be a very powerful monster, Bai Liu thought.

When Bai Liu looked down at the introduction of the mermaid skeleton, the fingers of the mermaid's right hand in the cabinet moved slightly.

The coin on Bai Liu's chest suddenly vibrated like crazy, and countless bright red panels popped up, one after another, superimposed in front of Bai Liu like a system failure.

[Refresh of "Siren Town Monster Book" - Siren King (2/4)]

[Monster Name: Siren King]

[Weakness: None (players are not required to explore the monster's weaknesses)]

[Attack method: ? ? ? (Unknown, to be explored)]

[You have triggered the wandering god-level NPC Siren King! ! ]

[The survival rate of the game dungeon "Siren Town" is rapidly decreasing, and is being recalculated... The original game clearance rate was 51%, and it has now dropped to ? ? %!! ]

[Warning! Warning! This NPC is extremely dangerous and currently has no clear weakness. Once the NPC wants to kill you, the player cannot use the weakness to escape and will only end up dead. Please speed up the game cracking process and quickly escape from Siren Town before the NPC wakes up! ]

[It is estimated that this NPC will wake up in one day, please speed up the exploration process! ]

Bai Liu raised his eyebrows. Did he... encounter something extraordinary?

Bai Liu was looking at the red warning text on the panel, still thinking of a countermeasure, but he didn't know that this warning had almost scared a senior cloud player who happened to pass by the big screen in the central game hall.

Wang Shun is a senior cloud player who has been squatting in front of the big screen in the central game hall for many years. Now he is squatting in front of the central screen, staring blankly at Bai Liu's small TV.

A cloud player means that he spends less time playing and more time watching others play. Most of the time, Wang Shun is responsible for collecting game information from players and submitting it to the player guild organization he belongs to.

But after watching game videos for so long, this was the first time he saw a god-level roaming NPC on the central game screen.

Wang Shun looked at the screen and confirmed it twice before speaking in a daze:

"Am I seeing this right?! This... is that god-level roaming NPC, right?! Who is so unlucky to enter a dungeon with a god-level roaming NPC..."

There are thousands of horror games in the entire system, and these horror games are all independent game copies.

The NPCs and monsters in each game are different and fixed, just like the different games displayed in a game store, without interfering with or affecting each other.

The gameplay process of each game copy entered by the player is independent and will not be intertwined or merged with each other.

But at some point, a strange wandering NPC appeared.

This NPC will randomly appear in every horror game instance, wandering around the game irrationally, and even possessing one of the monsters, transforming it from an ordinary monster into a god-level monster with great lethality, causing a lot of complaints from players. Every time they enter the game, they are trembling with fear, fearing to trigger this god-level wandering NPC.

However, the probability of this NPC being triggered is actually very low. Wang Shun has been watching mini-TV for many years, but has never seen anyone trigger this god-level wandering NPC.

But it is also because the destructive power of this god-level roaming NPC is quite huge. Usually, the whole team is wiped out instantly when it appears. The audience has no time to see it before all the players die. Therefore, there are many rumors about the god-level roaming NPC, but very little information. Once it appears, for cloud players like Wang Shun, it is the top-level information!

If you collect all the information, you might even be able to sell it for points!

Wang Shun instantly became focused and he would squat in front of Bai Liu's small TV and not move today!

But what is amazing is that such an exciting game video with a god-level NPC is actually at the very edge of the central screen. If Wang Shun did not have the habit of carefully scanning the entire screen, he might have missed it when he saw the red warning that filled the entire small screen.

"Is there something wrong with the system's algorithm?" Wang Shun muttered to himself while standing in front of Bai Liu's screen. "This kind of video shouldn't be in such a marginal position. This player performed very well. He almost collected the first page of the monster book. Moreover, he was so calm when he saw the wandering god-level NPC. He didn't play the game negatively. His mental quality is amazing..."

As he spoke, he opened his game manager and checked the player information on the back of Bai Liu's small TV. Then he slowly widened his eyes:

"…This is actually a newbie who is playing the game for the first time?! Are you serious?!"

——————

[Game Forum——Did anyone see the new player who just rose from the new player area on the central screen? ]

1l: He got promoted in the first game, that’s great! Will he be on the Rising Star of the Year list this year?

2l: It's impossible. This guy must be dead. I'm watching his little TV. He has such bad luck that he spawned a god-level roaming NPC. This is probably the last game of his life.

3l: He was very good in the rookie zone before, why is he so angry... But he is really good, he doesn't necessarily have to die

4l: Is there anyone who still doesn't understand why the word "wandering NPC" is written as "NPC" and read as "bug"?

This NPC has no weaknesses. Every time it appears, the players are basically wiped out because they can't escape. I feel that it has destroyed the balance of the game. I feel that the system has given an unsolvable bug a name of a wandering NPC to fool the players...

5l: Well, I was quite optimistic about him before, and thought he had a chance to break the highest score record of "Siren Town" because his ideas are really amazing.

6l: The highest score in "Siren Town" belongs to Shepherd, right? I remember that it was more than 1,300 points without charging. Shepherd is now fourth on the Nightmare Rising Star List. This newcomer can't survive this game. He is really a step above his level.

7l: What a pity, this new player is not bad looking. If he hadn’t died, he would have had a chance to be among the top ten most good looking players…

8l: Bullshit, his pretty face is not good enough to get into a hammer. The top ten players with the highest appearance value should be judged by their skills first and then their looks, okay? He will definitely lose this game...

………

[1 new person liked Bai Liu's TV, 416 new people collected Bai Liu's TV, and no one charged Bai Liu]

[512 new people are watching Bai Liu's TV, but no one likes it. It's really strange. Is it because the players didn't perform well? Please give it a thumbs up! ]

[The number of new likes is too small, and the player Bai Liu's promotion position on the edge of the center screen is about to expire]

………

Bai Liu knew nothing about these discussions, and just silently stared at the mermaid in the glass cabinet - this was undoubtedly the highest-level boss in the entire game, and the game clearly told him that facing this boss, the player would not be able to use weaknesses to escape.

After waking up, there is no doubt that he will die.

Although Bai Liu didn't like the feeling of being absolutely controlled, since the game said so, he really couldn't do anything about it.

But before waking up, this mermaid may still be able to bring a glimmer of hope to Bai Liu.

Bai Liu touched his chin and boldly tried to use the Siren King to get some benefits for himself. If he said this idea out loud, the group of people watching outside would probably be speechless and say that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.

But unfortunately he knew nothing. Bai Liu treated the Siren King as a monster NPC that he could deal with at will, just a little more advanced and difficult.

There is no boss in the game that the player has no way to defeat, even if it is a monster that looks scary.

As long as the game has no bugs, even if the game tells players how helpless this monster is, it is most likely one of the designers' tricks to whet players' appetites and create mystery.

But what Bai Liu didn't know was that what he encountered was the "God-level Wandering NPC" which is said to be a bug in this game.

They stayed in the wax museum until the evening. When the driver came to pick them up, the museum keeper said goodbye to them with a wan and worn voice, "... It's been a long time since we had such a large-scale mermaid fishing event. After tonight, the Siren Wax Museum can finally welcome new mermaid wax statues."

There was a strange joy in his smile. He rolled his eyes without pupils and stared at Bai Liu: "I wish you have a pleasant night."
