Chapter 17: I am weak

After eating the noodles and returning home, the strange feeling of excitement finally dissipated, and Ren Suo calmed down and understood what had just happened.

If Ren Suo guessed correctly, it should be because of the "key search system". When he was outside, the person who gave him this heart-beating feeling should be the one who could obtain the key.

Ren Suo still didn't know who would produce the key, but based on the examples of Mo Zhaolong and Li Dan, he knew that the person who could produce the key was at least better than an ordinary college student like him who was not very active - this meant that the path of 'armed seizure' was basically not feasible.

Unless he can get some better rewards in the game.

Therefore, Ren Suo did not take it to heart, but continued to play the game "If you are strong, go to 10,000 meters". After reaching the record point of 2048 meters, Ren Suo found that his speed increased a lot. Before, he could only rise 2 meters in altitude in one minute, but now he could rise 2 meters in half a minute.

The premise is that the seeker is always moving.

At this stage, the platforms on the screen were not as dense as the first two kilometers. Ren Suo had already died once - he did not use enough strength, the Seeker did not jump to the corresponding platform, and there was no platform below, so the Seeker fell directly to the bottom of the screen and died directly. He could only start over from the recording point.

Another time, Ren Suo controlled the Seeker to jump, but this time he used too much force and jumped too far. When the Seeker was about to fly out and fall due to a slight overjump, the stickman Seeker suddenly turned around and grabbed the edge of the platform.

Ren Suo then remembered that the female seeker had a setting: "Female: can react quickly when faced with a crisis." However, he had watched the stickman for dozens of hours and had long forgotten that the character he was controlling was a woman...

When the seeker climbed to about 3,000 meters, Ren Suo discovered a hidden message: as the seeker moved in different directions, some of the white marking points on the altitude bar would turn gray.

When the seeker jumps to the left, the 5896-meter record bar will turn gray; when the seeker jumps to the right, the 6853-meter record bar will turn gray.

In other words, there are two forks in the road: the record point for going left is completely different from the record point for going right, and after choosing one road, you cannot activate the record point of the other road unless you return to the record point of 2048 meters.

Ren Suo randomly chose a road, and when he reached 4,000 meters, he increased his speed again. If he moved at full speed, he could increase his altitude by 5 meters in one minute.

However, the journey became increasingly difficult, and Ren Suo encountered a 'trap' for the first time.

It was a grey platform which was not as dark as the other platforms. When the seeker jumped over, the platform suddenly collapsed. Ren Suo subconsciously pressed the jump button again, and then the seeker jumped up and just happened to touch the edge of another platform, barely surviving.

Ren Suo took a deep breath. If he fell, his ten hours of fun would be in vain...

Ten hours!?

Ren Suo looked up and found that it was almost midnight. He quickly took out his phone to order takeout and continue playing - after all, he just woke up in the afternoon and was very energetic now.

When they reached 4,500 meters, Ren Suo saw other people.

Other stickmen.

These stick figures do not move like the seekers, jumping directly on the platform, but walk along another path that is not shown on the screen, moving upwards at a slow speed.

The seeker also passed by them, but when the seeker passed by them, these stick figures stopped.

"This is a fully equipped team, and they are discussing you."

The game popped up a strange message.

Ren Suo paused for a moment and found that they did not move, so he chose to continue jumping upwards.

Although there were also gray platform traps on the back road, they were not particularly difficult to deal with. On the contrary, when he reached 4,800 meters, he saw another group of stickmen coming from behind, but unlike the previous group of stickmen, this group of stickmen was very fast and flew past the seeker in a flash.

Ren Suo saw that this group of stick figures seemed to be sitting on some kind of transportation, like a vehicle...

"Meow meow meow?" Ren Suo was confused: "Is there such a thing?"

Just when Ren Suo thought he might have missed the place and didn't get the transportation, the group of matchstick men drove back.

"Need help?" A dialog box popped up from the stickman.

Then the dialogue options that Ren Suo liked to see appeared:

① “No need.”

② "No, thanks."

…

That’s all.

"What the hell are these options?" Ren Suo complained wildly, "They all mean rejection!"

However, Ren Suo discovered that after he selected a dialogue option, it was not executed immediately. He had to press [Confirm], at which time he could also choose another dialogue option.

So the seeker said, "No, thanks."

The stickman convoy was still stationary, but after Ren Suo controlled the seeker to move upwards, they also left.

Finally at 4 a.m., Ren Suo finally controlled the Seeker and reached the 5,896-meter record point!

When he reached a record point, Ren Suo relaxed his whole body as if he had completed a major goal in a certain stage of his life.

Interestingly, the record point at 5896 meters is different from the one at 2048 meters. The large platform where the record point is located - the platform at the record point spans the entire screen and will not fall down at all - has many other stickmen.

This record point has its own exclusive name: Base Camp.

The stick figures seemed very surprised to see the seeker and gathered around him, with speech bubbles popping up one after another. However, the speech bubbles appeared and disappeared very quickly, and Ren Suo had no idea what was being said.

Ren Suo put down the controller and went to sleep. He didn't get up until 11 the next day. He felt so hungry that he could eat a meal by himself, so he went downstairs to get a bowl of noodles to fill his stomach. The aunt downstairs saw him and said directly, "Two big bowls of beef brisket fried sauce noodles, right?"

Ren Suo was a little puzzled as to why his stomach could eat so much recently. You know, although he was a bit of a homebody, he was not fat and his appetite was not big. His appetite had almost doubled recently.

After returning home to continue his challenge of "If you are strong, go to 10,000 meters", Ren Suo discovered that on the large platform at the 5,896-meter record point, the stickmen no longer surrounded the seeker.

After playing for two days, Ren Suo discovered that this game seemed to have a unique magic. Although the seeker could only jump, there were certain rules for how much force to use and where to jump.

For example, before Ren Suo came to the recording point platform at 5,896 meters, he encountered a gray platform that would break on the only way. If he wanted to ascend safely, he had to take a long detour to the unknown area on the right. However, Ren Suo chose to challenge the gray platform directly. He asked the seeker to continue to accumulate power and jump before the platform broke when he jumped to the gray platform, so as to achieve the effect of a double jump!

The stamina bar was almost insufficient, but this type of challenge was indeed quite exciting!

Now that he had completed more than half of the journey, and every time he jumped, he could almost increase the altitude by one meter, Ren Suo was very excited:

"Okay, today we're going to walk through this game!"
