"I'm sorry, I was wrong." The female player stood in front of Elvia crying and bowed her head to admit her mistake.
She chose the wrong target. Who would have thought that the person who came was not a fat sheep, but a big boss? She used most of her props, but the other party didn't even take her seriously.
The ambushed Elvia looked down at her feet and said, "You're not an NPC, are you?"
The female player immediately said: "I am also a player."
Why was the other party, also a player, without a shadow? Elvia immediately thought of the players who disappeared during the day.
"Why attack other players?"
The female player stopped crying for a moment, raised her head and said with embarrassment: "Can you please not talk about this?"
"Um?"
The female player thought the other party was angry, and quickly said: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I can't say it."
Is it restricted by rules?
Alvia thought for a moment: "Then let me guess."
"Your disappearance should be a punishment given by the dungeon rules because you did not play your roles according to the rules. You cannot appear during the day. As for the reason why you attacked other players, I guess this is the way to remove the punishment."
The female player blinked, not knowing what expression to make. This was his own guess, and the system should not punish her.
"Am I right?" Alvia looked at Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou immediately turned his head away guiltily. Why did Elvia guess it? It was too quick.
Female player: Shouldn’t I ask her this question? Why are you looking at your prop pet?
Afterwards, Elvia also eliminated the female player without showing any mercy.
He will let go of irrelevant players, but if you want to eliminate him, you must be prepared to be eliminated.
Throughout the night, players were eliminated everywhere by players without shadows. When the day dawned, a small number of players without shadows successfully lifted the punishment, and the shadows returned to their feet again, while the other punished players hid in the darkness, waiting for the arrival of the next night.
Obviously, a lot of people were eliminated in the evening, but because some players returned, the number of players wandering around the campus seemed to be the same as yesterday.
The bell rang again, and when Alvia walked into the classroom, she found that a few familiar faces were missing and a few unfamiliar players had appeared. They should be the players who were eliminated and left last night.
The teacher who came in this time was not the same one from yesterday. He looked more like a player.
"I am the player, and I play the role of a teacher. The task assigned to me today is to give a lecture to everyone. Um~ what was I talking about?" The player on the stage looked depressed. The classroom he went to yesterday was an empty classroom, but the classroom he came to today according to the class schedule was quite crowded.
"Oh, by the way, the textbook is here. Okay, let's start the class now."
The player took out a book from the desk, opened it and began to read. His voice was flat and he read the contents as if he was completing a task.
Because the "teacher" is a player, the players in the audience became much bolder and were whispering among themselves.
"Didn't you follow that teacher who was behaving strangely yesterday? Did you find anything?"
"Well, the teacher disappeared after returning to the office yesterday. We only found a resignation letter in the office. I guess according to the plot, the teacher resigned and left."
"Huh? I thought she must be acting so strangely. There must be some clue."
"You got scared and ran away halfway through following me yesterday. You wouldn't be able to find it even if there were clues."
Alvia carefully identified the voices in the classroom. Apart from the fact that yesterday's teacher had resigned, the most talked about thing was what happened last night.
It seems that many people have guessed the rules of the dungeon, and some players have also discovered that they will be attacked if they carry a student ID.
Why did yesterday’s teacher resign? That person should be the real NPC. In this case, her resignation is definitely not accidental and is probably related to the plot of the dungeon.
Is it because of threats? Still afraid of something?
Thinking of the NPC's demeanor yesterday, Elvia had a guess in his mind.
"The above is the content of our class. get out of class dismissed." The player read for ten minutes and finally breathed a sigh of relief after completing the task. He was about to take the book with him, but after thinking about it, he put it back.
Alvia was still the last one to leave the classroom.
He sat in his seat, not knowing what he was thinking about. Even though Zeus was messing around beside him, it did not disturb his thoughts.
"Zeus, stop making trouble." Zhou Zhou said.
Apparently his words were much more effective than those of Elvia, and Zeus dejectedly withdrew his disruptive hands.
Alvia stood up and said, "Okay, we should go out now."
"Where are we going?" Zhou Zhou asked reflexively.
"Of course we have to pass the customs and leave here. It's time for you to go to bed." Elvia said to Zhou Zhou in her arms.
Zhou Zhou stared at Alvia and asked suspiciously, "Do you know how to pass the level?"
Alvia smiled and said nothing.
"There are still many clues to be found, and there is only one day." Zhou Zhou is the designer of the copy, and he knows the way to pass the level best. It is impossible to pass the level with the current clues.
Without any explanation, Alvia carried Zhou Zhou out of the classroom and walked straight to the lake.
The bodies of two students were found here yesterday, and then they disappeared.
Now all that remains is a sparkling lake and picturesque scenery everywhere.
"The first mission is mainly to find the murderer, but what if those two students were not murdered by someone?"
Alvia looked at the lake and spoke softly.
"Or the two students were not human, but tools used by the monsters in the school to hunt. Anyone holding a student ID card is their prey. The two dead students are probably just their skins. When the player discovers this through various evidences, the final task should be to destroy the monsters."
As soon as Elvia finished speaking, there was movement on the task panel.
【Clear mission: destroy monsters.】 】
When Elvia opened the task panel, the originally calm lake surface suddenly moved.
The lake was rippling with green waves, as if a breeze had suddenly blown by. Soon, the ripples became more and more obvious, and even the ground beneath Elvia's feet began to shake.
The water level in the center of the lake gradually rose, and finally reached a height of several dozen meters.
The rising lake water fell down, and the splashing water wet the shore. Elvia took a few steps back and looked up at the huge monster that suddenly appeared.
"Is this the final boss?"
Elvia found that despite such a big commotion, no players came over. It was probably because he was the only one who had opened the clearance mission, and other players had not completed the first mission, so they were blocked.
He put Zhou Zhou on the ground and gently pushed him: "Hide first, we will go out together after we pass the level."
Zhou Zhou looked a little angry for some reason. Hearing this, he ran a few steps and turned to look at Elvia, while Elvia walked towards the lake step by step.
The monster that emerged from the lake was huge, as if it was made up of a pool of mud. The two black holes above it seemed like its eyes. Although they were just two black holes without even pupils, Elvia had a feeling of being watched.
The mud monster moved towards the lake where Elvia was. The originally wide lake looked like a small pool against the backdrop of the mud monster, and soon the monster reached the shore.
Two black tentacles extended from the mud, and even the layers of mud on the tentacles were constantly falling down. It looked disgusting and weird, and the originally clear lake water became turbid.
Two tentacles swept over, and Elvia on the shore looked like a fly in front of a giant, fragile and tiny.
"Defeating the BOSS requires specific things. You can't just force it. I set its health very high. You can't defeat it just by relying on props and force..." Zhou Zhou shut up.
Elvia was like an unlucky player who had just entered the Novice Village and had no time to collect information or upgrade equipment before having to face the final BOSS. According to the rules, he needed to collect different items on campus to defeat the BOSS, but now he had nothing and didn't even know the monster's weaknesses.
Although I know that Elvia will not die even if she is eliminated, I am still worried. There are obviously easier ways, so why choose the most difficult one?
But as soon as he shouted, the battle was almost over.
It was not the monster that killed the fly, but the huge monster was dispersed by Elvia in a few strokes.
A battle that seemed to be characterized by a huge disparity in strength ended quickly, but it was indeed true that the strength disparity was too great.
Elvia returned to the shore, and the body of the mud monster fell into the lake, splashing water everywhere. Elvia frowned, shook his wrist, and walked towards Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou: “…” How embarrassing. He just talked so much nonsense, but the other party didn’t need it at all.
Perhaps because Zhou Zhou was not in human form, his expression could not be seen. Alvia picked Zhou Zhou up with a normal expression and said, "It should be over. Let's go back."
A blue halo as tall as a person appeared out of nowhere by the lake, and it turned out to be the exit.
Zhou Zhou didn't say anything after that. Instead, he buried his head in Elvia's arms, as if he was ashamed of his words and actions just now.
Zeus followed beside him and said sarcastically, "Congratulations, you're the first one to pass."
Being able to go out soon, Alvia ignored Zeus and stepped into the aperture.
But the moment he stepped in, he suddenly felt discomfort in his wrist.
He raised his hand and found that the paint that had been splashed when he crushed the monster to death in the classroom had changed. A few points of paint in different colors kept moving on his hand like living things, and finally gathered together to form a black dot.
Then the black dot gradually lengthened and extended to the wrist, turning into a thin bracelet, as if it was tattooed on the wrist.
However, when entering the passage, the arm with black lines was unable to enter, as if it was blocked by a barrier. Even if the body passed through, there seemed to be a huge pulling force at the wrist, constantly preventing the player from moving forward.
Zeus finally couldn't help laughing. "I let you be lazy and skip the process. Now you have no choice. The level will be closed after one minute. You deserve it."
Zhou Zhou raised his head, not knowing whether to praise Al for his quick thinking and strong strength, as he had managed to reach this point by relying only on conjecture and force; or to say like Zeus that he had omitted so many steps, which resulted in problems at the critical moment of passing the level.
Alvia tried several times but failed to pass. Seeing that the light circle for passing the level was getting dimmer and dimmer and was about to disappear, he suddenly took out two student ID cards from his pocket and held them in front of his wrists.
The black line on the wrist was attracted by the scent on the student ID card. It moved from the wrist to the student ID card and circled along the lines on the back of the ID card for a few times. It seemed that something was wrong and wanted to return to the original path. However, the next moment, the student ID card was thrown into the lake.
This time, Alvia successfully retracted her arm and walked into the passage.
"Impossible, weren't those two student ID cards thrown away long ago? How come you still have them?" Even Zeus was shocked.
Zhou Zhou also had a look of surprise on his face, his pair of red eyes widened.
Alvia walked slowly in the blue passage and said casually, "I guessed that something might happen, so I borrowed someone else's in the classroom."
borrow? Meaning he stole the student IDs that other players were carrying?
"Why didn't I see it?" Zeus murmured, looking shocked.
Alvia didn't explain. It was rare to see Zeus like this, and he really looked very pleasing.
As they were about to exit the passage, Zhou Zhou turned back into human form, but his expression looked very depressed.
Alvia: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Zhou: "I just found that my copy still has many loopholes, and there is actually a shortcut."
Alvia consoled him, "It's already pretty good. It's very difficult for ordinary players."
So is it easy for you?
Zhou Zhou understood the hidden meaning in his words.
“No! I have to go back and continue modifying the copy!” Zhou Zhou clenched his fists, looking as if he was determined to start over again.
"Go back and rest first. We can talk about modifying the dungeon tomorrow." Alvia thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to change the difficulty. The main reason is that you gave too many clues, as if you were afraid that people wouldn't be able to find them. The books in each building carry some clues, and it's easy to guess based on them. This may need to be changed. Players are very good at association. One or two plausible clues may be enough to guess the whole plot. You're still too gentle to them."
Zeus thought of Zhou Zhou, who was called the Big Devil by players in the forum. Is he gentle? What does it have to do with gentleness?
"Zhou Zhou."
When Zhou Zhou was about to go home, Elvia called him.
"Is there anything else?" Zhou Zhou asked, looking at Elvia with a rare look of hesitation.
Elvia: "The technology of the Academy of Sciences has reached the final stage. Next month your real body will be mature. You..."
"Huh? I'll be able to turn into a human next month. That's fast."
Alvia looked at Zhou Zhou, who was full of excitement: "Why don't you think about it again? The success rate is only 80%."
Alvia is very decisive in everything he does, and this is the first time I see him being so indecisive.
Zhou Zhou seemed to see the uneasiness on his face: "Eighty percent is already very high, and I really want to become a human as soon as possible."
Although Zeus already knew about this, he was still confused: "Isn't it good for us to do this? Humans are very troublesome."
Zhou Zhou didn't say anything, but touched Zeus's head.
Different, he regards himself as a human being, and his thinking and preferences are close to humans. Therefore, he feels sad and lonely because his friends and lovers are completely different from himself.
Zeus, however, accepted his identity from the very beginning and distinguished himself very clearly from humans.
They are completely different beings.
He can't do that, so the best way is to change himself and live the lifestyle he likes.
"I have already thought about it. After I become a human, I will live like a human being. I will also go to school like Eddie and the others." Zhou Zhou has even considered this.
Zhou Zhou's eyes were firm, but Elvia was wavering.
Originally, this technology was developed for Zeus, but Zeus had no interest in it at all. However, Zhou Zhou, who suddenly appeared, was very much yearning for human life.
However, this technology still has risks. If it fails, Zhou Zhou might really disappear.
In fact, the current situation is also very good.
Alvia wanted to say this, but in the end she just nodded and said okay.
It was clearly he who told Zhou Zhou about this technology, but now he is the one who is timid.
After returning to his home, Zhou Zhou originally planned to continue modifying the copy of Love Academy, but it was already time for him to go to bed, and the sudden sleepiness made him yawn.
It’s better to go to sleep first. I’ll talk about modifying the copy after I wake up.
Zeus quietly walked into the room, looked at Zhou Zhou who had fallen asleep, and called out in a low voice: "Zhou Zhou? Zhou Zhou?"
Zhou Zhou was sleeping soundly, or perhaps the person who appeared here was very familiar to him, so his subconscious mind chose to continue sleeping.
Zeus stared at Zhou Zhou for a while and stretched out his hand to him.
He didn't want Zhou Zhou to become a human. After Zhou Zhou became a human, he would become a lonely existence again. As long as Zhou Zhou's thinking was modified and he changed his idea, Elvia would definitely not require Zhou Zhou to become a human. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation for everyone?
They are still staying here happily like this, and they will always stay here.
It's very simple, just modify a little bit of code, it's very easy for him.
Zeus placed his hand on Zhou Zhou's forehead. Although he still looked like a child, at this moment he showed an unusually cold maturity.
A faint blue light appeared under his palm. It was Zeus looking for Zhou Zhou's thoughts and memories about wanting to become a human.
Found it, he found the memories stored by Zhou Zhou.
