"The remaining playing time of this game is 479 hours and 59 minutes. One second.La], read the wonderful novel without pop-up windows for free!"
Seeing the small text below the introduction of the game "Upside Down World", Ren Suo felt a sense of uneasiness for the first time in a long time.
In his more than half a year of Small World gaming career, only two games had play time limits.
The first time, of course, was his first gaming experience – Hitman.
Less than a day has passed since Ren Suo uploaded his game review. The plot of "Hitman" takes place in the Blackthorn Building in London, England.
The second time was last month’s “The Hand of Fate”.
However, "Hand of Fate" has many characteristics: uploading at all times, expendable holiday promotions to reduce the difficulty of the game, divided into multiple chapters, and unable to save and load files... It can be said that the time limit is only a trivial problem of "Hand of Fate". It is a special sample and cannot be used as a reference.
Therefore, "Upside Down World" can be regarded as the second game that Ren Suo has come into contact with in the past six months. It is a game that can be played infinitely but has a time limit.
If it was the previous Ren Suo, he might have thought it was nothing, but the current Ren Suo was different. With the "A Thousand Miles a Day" and "The Ornament of Seeking the Way" as his comprehension enhancements, he could vaguely sense the problem:
The remaining time for travel is too long, a full 20 days.
In a normal game, Rensuo usually only takes about 10 days to play. But this is a 5-star game with save and load functions, so maybe it will take Rensuo hundreds of hours to complete it?
But the problem is that many games before had no time limit, such as "The Magician Under the World Tree", "The Ghost at Night", "Spirit of the World", etc. These games are closely related to the real world, and even whether you pass the level or not will affect world peace, but the game consoles do not have a time limit. Instead, this martial arts game that seems to be from another timeline has a time limit...
So strange.
Although he felt doubtful, Ren Suo quickly decided - this was it.
There is a time limit, which means if you miss it, you really miss it.
"Crowdfunding Rebirth", Ren Suo can play it later, and there doesn't seem to be much rush for this game. He can't escape it if he leaves it alone. Maybe Ren Suo will accidentally spend money on the game and get the 'profiteer' effect (the player's privilege of 'plucking feathers from passing geese'), and then Ren Suo can just buy this 4-star game without spending any money.
But "Upside Down World" is different. Ren Suo will not be able to buy it even if he has merits in the future. Moreover, this is a 5-star game. You can't suffer a loss or be cheated when playing it.
Yes, in addition to labels such as '-99%' and '50% off', labels such as 'First time limited', 'Snow Festival special' and 'Christmas limited' are also very lethal to Ren Suo - he can get great pleasure from the superiority of having what others do not and being better than others.
A few months ago, if the limited edition of the Hell 4 Pro was not available in China, Ren Suo might have been ruthless and bought a console that was several hundred dollars more expensive but only had an extra layer of coating on the body...
It was almost impossible for Ren Suo to let go of a game like this where 'if you miss it, you'll never have it again'.
Not to mention that it is a 5-star game. Ren Suo has been thinking about being promoted to a level 5 player for a long time, and this time he will finally get his wish.
As long as I clear it, I will be promoted to a level 5 player, right?
He could rely on sleeping to delay his promotion to the third level, but to become a level 5 player he had to seize every opportunity, otherwise he would have to wait until the next game!
Moreover, the exclusive reward of this game, "Erasure Permission", looks very interesting, but there is not even an introduction, so Ren Suo does not have high expectations for it - but it is much more domineering than the "Wish Exchange" in "Crowdfunding Rebirth".
As for whether he could pass the game, Ren Suo had never thought about it at all - this game has in-app purchases, and as long as there are in-app purchases, the wild goose will be able to pluck feathers and show its power!
After thinking about it, Ren Suo still chose "The Upside-Down World"!
After 1 minute, the game was downloaded and the game icon was a dark silhouette of a woman.
After Ren Suo entered the game, the dark silhouette enveloped the entire screen. A beam of light lit up at the end of the screen, and the figure of a man could be vaguely seen.
The last scene suddenly reveals a lush natural mountain forest scenery. On the cliff stand a man and a woman dressed in ancient style. The man is dignified and wise, and his back is elegant; the woman wears a hood and dresses conservatively, and only her peach-like buttocks highlight her feminine charm.
"Time flies by once you've entered the arena"
"Life is a drunkenness"
"Worldly affairs are like tides and people are like water"
"I can only sigh that few people return to the Jianghu"
Among them, "Life is too drunk to bear" is grey, so there is no doubt that this should be the save option, then the first "Once you enter the world, time will rush you" should be starting a new game.
Ren Suo clicked on the third option and found that it was something like collecting plot cgs or game records, and the title was "Xiao Yao's Secret Diary".
Then Ren Suo selected the fourth option, and the game popped up a prompt: "Do you want to delete this game? After deleting the game, all uploaded records will be invalid."
Ren Suo was also convinced that the option to delete the game was actually placed in the game? What if I accidentally clicked the wrong one?
How is this different from a test where a question suddenly comes up with the options in the order of dcba? Does it test your eyesight and reaction speed?
Select "Once you enter the world, time will rush you by", and all the option icons will immediately disappear like smoke. The man and woman on the cliff look at each other and smile, then jump off the cliff hand in hand.
"At a time when the world is about to go into chaos, ambitious people are acting in secret. The coming storm affects the peerless strongman who is hiding in the world, the mysterious Demon Lord Mu Gongzi..."
The screen lit up, and in a bright boudoir, a handsome man with a ponytail slowly sat up from the bed. He was wearing a single piece of clothing, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a tall figure, and a gentle smile. Ren Suo took a look and found that this was actually a super handsome man who was not inferior to himself!
"Are you awake?"
Next to the handsome guy, a black-haired beauty with half her clothes on also sat up. She pulled her clothes and a dialog box popped up: "You were so dishonest last night. My clothes are all messed up."
Is this game so exciting right from the start?
After playing the game for so long, it’s the first time that Ren Suo sees such a protagonist with high treatment and good benefits - the Explorer (dead at the beginning, burn paper if necessary), Ren Family Disciple (can’t live past 23), World Devourer (starts as a pangolin, evolution depends on picking up), Magician (starts from scratch to pick up teammates), Seeker (climbs a 10,000-meter peak barefoot) next to you are all about to cry!
The protagonist, Mr. Mu, said, "We talked by candlelight last night, and slept on the same bed. I couldn't help myself. Please forgive me. And Ling'er, you have developed very well, you will definitely be the most beautiful woman in the world. I am just..."
The black-haired beauty Ling'er chuckled, "You're so sweet."
Ren Suo watched them flirting with no joy or sadness, wondering if the game console also knew that Double 11 Singles Day was approaching, so it timed it to give him a mouthful of dog food that would make his teeth stick?
At this moment, there was a knock on the door: "Sir, Sir, something bad has happened!"
Master Mu and Ling'er looked at each other, then walked out of the room, only to see a pretty maid with a flat chest waiting anxiously outside. Master Mu asked angrily, "Xiaoyao, is it appropriate to make a scene so early in the morning? I'm chatting with Ling'er, and you're making trouble like this, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The maid named Xiaoyao said immediately, "Sir, we have to run away! Someone from the Holy Hall of the Six Major Sects discovered through astrology that you are the descendant of the Demon Lord! They also pinned the recent events of the earth dragon turning over, blood-stained sacrifices, and thunderstorms destroying the city on you, saying that they were all caused by the descendant of the Demon Lord killing people to practice martial arts!"
Master Mu was startled, but soon calmed down: "The Holy Hall is far away from here, and I am a small leader of the Tiance Mansion of the Six Major Sects. I have not done those things. They have no solid evidence, and they can't..."
Maid Xiaoyao: "Sir, I have received accurate information that Tiance Mansion has sent people to arrest you! The evidence provided by the Holy Hall is very sufficient, and the means of framing are extremely sophisticated. Even if Tiance Mansion is forced by the situation of the sect, it must arrest you for interrogation!
Sir, people from Tiance Mansion are coming soon!"
Master Mu was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Xiaoyao, Ling'er, do you believe in me?"
Maid Xiaoyao: "Although the young master is a heinous criminal, he has definitely never done anything that is against the will of heaven and earth!"
Ling Er: "Xiao Yao doesn't believe it, so Ling Er naturally doesn't believe it either."
Master Mu walked to the window and said, "Since you believe in me, I can't be a coward... I will go with the people from Tiance Mansion!"
After saying that, Master Mu jumped out of the window and landed on the flat ground outside. At this moment, several chariots happened to be rushing over from the distance. The people in the chariots saw Master Mu's figure and immediately ordered the chariots to surround Master Mu. Many uniformed knights-errant got off the chariots.
Master Mu looked at the red-haired man in the lead and said loudly, "Dogs, are you here to catch me?"
Before the red-haired man spoke, a black-haired man with narrowed eyes beside him said, "That's right. But don't worry, Mr. Mu, you and I are colleagues. This trip is just to ask for your assistance in the investigation. After all, the successive natural disasters* have caused panic in the martial arts world.
If you are innocent, I promise Wumian that Tiance Mansion will give you justice!"
慕公子心想:‘土狗、无眠他们几乎带来了天策府所有兵马,看来是对本公子势在必得。只盼天策府的强者们能发现真相,还本公子一个公道……’
就在此时,天策府众人中,忽然有人高声说道:「对付这种邪魔外道,还讲什么江湖道义?他这是在拖延时间,快点捕杀他!
圣堂天师早知你们天策府会被奸人蒙蔽,特赐我照魔镜,让你们明白魔尊真身!」
三道霞光忽然从人群中射向慕公子,慕公子闪避不及,被霞光所照,身上顿时升起滚滚黑烟,黑烟中泛起无数人头景象,如同无数幽灵在哀嚎。
哀嚎的幽灵并非想袭击慕公子,反而是想远离慕公子,像是想逃离地狱折磨的悲苦之人。
然而无论它们如何努力,在滚滚黑烟中却也没法掌握自己的命运,如同浊流般流入慕公子体内!
那名疑似圣堂的人大喊:「这就是魔尊修炼的绝代魔功,通过肆虐世间,杀尽苍生获得的罪恶之力!那些恶灵就是魔尊修炼的能量,只要魔尊不停杀戮,那么他的力量就会越来越强,终有一天会将恐怖降临到尘世!」
慕公子:「我没有——」
圣堂人大声喊道:「先断其四肢,穿其琵琶,他自带无尽罪恶之力,等闲枷锁根本限制不了他,必须令他彻底失去反抗之力!」
与此同时,圣堂数人同时杀向慕公子。
看到慕公子身后的渊狱死灵,天策府等人脸色极其难看,红发土狗大喝一声:「随我擒拿要犯慕公子!」
任索眨眨眼睛,发现终于进入战斗画面了!
除了主角慕公子外,画面里所有人都是红色图标,小地图上更是显示出只有一个绿点,其余全是红点!
这游戏一开始就要1v99?
不过当任索看到慕公子的技能栏,感觉好像也不是不能做到——
「魔焰凶天」、「幻魔身法」、「魔盔甲」、「不死魔印」、「破甲无形魔剑」、「地魔斩首」、「魔血染青天」、「魔腾」……
隆隆总总足足十几个技能,而且囊括了攻击、防御、移动、侦查、治疗、辅助六大方面,攻击技能里既有强势aoe洗地技能,也有高爆发的单体输出技能,并且所有技能冷却时间极短!
任索估摸了一下控制方式,果断放弃游戏手柄,换成键鼠模式进行操作。
战斗开始!
一上来,慕公子身上就爆出无数火花,战斗信息列表弹出十几条「慕公子遭到天策府人的霹雳火弹攻击,受到3点伤害」的信息,幸好「魔盔甲」等防御能力是自动施放,慕公子毫发无伤!
面对冲过来圣堂战士,任索马上让慕公子使用「破甲无形魔剑」、「幻魔身法」,瞬移到他们身后,使用无形剑气将他们全部暴击斩杀!
一见血,战斗场面马上激烈起来,此时‘土狗’已经接近慕公子,双手爆起烈焰打向慕公子——
「慕公子遭到天策土狗的燃木刀法攻击,受到104点伤害!」
看见这个重创自己的敌人,任索没有客气,「不死魔印」、「地魔斩首」、「魔焰凶天」全部扔出来,居然瞬间就把土狗的血量打空了!
土狗被打飞出去,像烂泥一样躺在地上,无眠连忙过去抱起他。似乎是因为慕公子使用了火焰武功的原因,土狗恨声说道:「我前不久才指点你如何修炼火焰武学,但你居然转头就用来杀人放火!」
慕公子:「我没有!」
「哈哈哈。」土狗笑着吐出一口老血,指着慕公子身后黑烟的万千怨灵厉声说道:「天策府,听无眠号令,杀魔尊!」
无眠没有像土狗与慕公子交战,而是远距离指挥近百名天策府人围剿慕公子。
双拳难敌四手,在近百人的有序围攻下,哪怕慕公子可以战胜这里任何一个人,但他的血量和内气依然不可避免地剧烈消耗下去,不一会儿血条已经只剩下一半,内气更是快要见底了!
但敌人‘天策府人’还有很多!
“难道,这是一个必败剧情?”任索忍不住泛起这个想法。
的确,有一些游戏会在一开头就让玩家获得强大技能,但却会安排一场必败的战斗。
等玩家输了之后,玩家自然就失去了强大技能,要重头开始练级游玩。
不过这样以来,玩家既可以在一开始就体验到这个游戏爽快的战斗体验,又有合理原因从弱变强,能最大可能地吸引住玩家。
这种开场方式,还挺受游戏厂商的青睐,就是有点虐主。
但小世界游戏机很快就推翻了任索的猜测:「是否消耗怨灵之力?」
任索眨眨眼睛,犹豫了一下,不过现在慕公子已经用不出大多数技能,眼看着就要被天策府人打死了,便点击「是」。
刹那间,慕公子身后的黑烟怨灵发出凄厉的哀嚎,化为红光覆盖到慕公子身上,慕公子的血量和内气以肉眼可见的速度补充到满值,并且获得一个特殊状态:
「以杀养杀:消耗大量怨灵之力,加强全属性50%,所有武学威力加强100%。」
「因消耗怨灵之力,慕公子阵营偏向守序邪恶。」
不过这番举动却是十分显眼,天策府人尽皆看见这一幕,纷纷厉声喝道:「妖人!」
「真的是魔尊!」
「为了百姓,不可以放过他!」
然而,面对无时无刻都处于满血满蓝状态,并且属性大幅度增强的慕公子,天策府人根本打不过他,不一会儿就尽数落败,死伤过半。
当慕公子结束这场战斗的时候,侍女小夭和美人灵儿都走出来。
她们先是用惊骇的眼神看着地上的死尸,然后静静看着慕公子,瞳孔里流露出奇异的情绪。
慕公子心想:「经过此番杀戮,我已经再无回头的机会。就算以前是被人栽赃,但现在杀戮同僚却是被坐实了。
天策府绝不能容我,五大派又在追杀我。
天下之大,已无我容身之处……」
于是慕公子看了一眼小夭和灵儿,便运转身法快步离去。
然而他刚离开犯罪现场,迎面就遭遇一名邋遢道人和许多天策战士!
「畜生!」
道人怒喝一声,一拂衣袖,雷兽火鸟齐出,杀向慕公子!
天策战士也不甘落后,纷纷使用军弩阻击慕公子。
比起天策府人,天策战士的攻击更有组织性,无数暗器落到慕公子身上,居然硬生生拖住了慕公子的步伐,差点就彻底打爆了慕公子的护身气罡!
任索操控慕公子使用「幻魔身法」,试图冲进去大杀特杀,然而那道人不仅能施展道法,而且还能使用御剑术,愣是在慕公子冲过来的时候就直接用飞剑打空了慕公子的血量。
果然,当任索看见魔尊的时候,他就隐隐感觉这个游戏的武力上限比较高。
但现在看来,这根本不是武侠游戏,而是仙侠游戏啊!
这次慕公子很快就消耗光血量内气,任索无奈,自然是再一次选择消耗怨灵之力。
然而道人和天策战士的配合何等绝妙,慕公子多次消耗怨灵之力,也仅仅能斩杀数名天策战士就再无战绩,反而是不停弹出令人不安的游戏提示——
「因消耗怨灵之力,慕公子阵营偏向中立邪恶。」
「因消耗怨灵之力,慕公子阵营偏向绝对邪恶。」
「因消耗怨灵之力,慕公子阵营恒定绝对邪恶。」
「你已失去对慕公子的控制。」
嗯?
任索松开鼠标键盘,发现慕公子还真是不用他控制,自己就双眼通红脸目狰狞地施放技能大杀特杀。
画面风格不知道什么时候也变成血红昏暗的暗色调,当任索失去对慕公子控制的时候,四周的黑暗逐渐往中间侵蚀,最后画面彻底化为黑暗。
过了几秒,画面里出现一抹光束,游戏自己回到了开始界面,并且弹出游戏提示:
「结局·无能为力:慕公子最终陷入邪恶漩涡,最后化为魔尊遭到六大派斩杀。」
这就打出一个结局了?
虽然说是结局,但连任务评价都没给出来,这纯粹就是告诉任索——你玩砸了。
任索挠挠头,叉起手思考该怎么玩。
少杀点人?
不消耗怨灵之力?
换条路逃跑?
任索于是重新玩了三次,第一次没有杀人,但还是因为消耗怨灵之力玩砸了;
第二次没有消耗怨灵之力,在一开始就被土狗和无眠打死了;
第三次换条路逃跑,还是遇上了邋遢道长和天策战士……
这怎么玩啊?
任索啧了一声,只好使用「魔王降临·敕令」强化「一日千里」,增加悟性思考破局方法。
很快,任索就找到游戏里的转折点:
当慕公子出去自首的时候,一开始天策府还是相信慕公子的,但因为圣堂的人用「照魔镜」映出慕公子身上的怨灵,所以才导致局势一发不可收拾!
所以,正确方法是一开始就冲过干掉圣堂的人?
But the "Magic Mirror" is something produced by the Temple. Even if we kill the people from the Temple now, there should be similar items appearing later, right?
Moreover, the Holy Hall obviously has a cooperative relationship with the Tian Ce Mansion. If Master Mu rushes over to kill people without saying a word, he will probably be surrounded and attacked by the Tian Ce Mansion.
So there is obviously only one correct way.

"call……"
In the underground training ground of the Lianjiang Countermeasures Bureau, Yu Kuangtu had a stern expression on his face. His hands emitted orange-red flames that scorched the open space in front of him. The scorching heat caused the temperature of the entire basement to rise, and even the concrete floor was severely deformed.
Suddenly, his eyes became stern: "Now!"
In an instant, the flames seemed to be wrapped in a stream of air, breaking away from Yu Kuangtu's control, and turning into a flaming feather coat like flowing water, falling on the girl in the flames.
Yu Kuangtu stopped the blazing flames, looked at Qiao Muyi's flaming feather robe, and exhaled: "You have now learned the third-level spell "Flame Dance", but the fact that you can shape the flames into feather robes from the beginning... I almost doubt whether you are a blazing flame awakener."
"Hehe, I'm still no match for Deputy Director Yu." Qiao Muyi spread out her flame feather robe and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help this time. If you have any problems in the future, feel free to come to me, except for borrowing money."
"Even without me, you would not be slow in learning this spell. You adapt to the flames too quickly." Yu Kuangtu said casually, "You have exchanged the most spells in the whole world... I thought you used the intranet as Taobao, but now it seems that you can really learn these spells."
"Just learning casually..."
"Other people exchanged a large number of spells because they wanted to find out which spells were suitable for them. You are the only special case." Yu Kuangtu picked up his phone and checked the time: "Then I'll go up first. If you want to practice more, feel free to do so."
"No, I want to go home and take a shower and have a good sleep. I have a day off tomorrow and I don't want to live in the bureau." Qiao Muyi sniffed her arm: "It's hard to even take a shower in the bureau. I don't want to be covered in sweat."
"..." Yu Kuangtu looked at Qiao Muyi with a puzzled look: "Why is it that you and I are both deputy directors, but I seem to have worked much longer than you..."
"Because Li Dan is not my subordinate." Qiao Muyi walked over with a smile and patted Yu Kuangtu on the shoulder: "Who told you to have a person who doesn't sleep as your subordinate? He is so cruel to himself, so naturally he will be even more cruel to you..."
"Then get out of here right away. I don't have any good feelings towards people who don't go to work tomorrow." Yu Kuangtu waved his hands in disgust.
"What do you want me to help you with?" Qiao Muyi said with a smile, "For example, if you can get someone with connections to work in the bureau, I can turn a blind eye. Or, you can let a beautiful female college student be your secretary on Saturdays and Sundays..."
"Go, go, go, go. I will be satisfied if you don't burn me with your flames!"
