"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!"
Master Mu thought: "Tugou, Wumian and the others have brought almost all the troops of Tiance Mansion. It seems that they are determined to capture me. I only hope that the strong men of Tiance Mansion can discover the truth and give me justice..."
At this moment, someone in the Tiance Mansion suddenly said loudly: "When dealing with this evil heretic, what kind of moral principles are there? He is stalling for time, so hurry up and kill him!
The Holy Temple Heavenly Master knew that your Tiance Mansion would be deceived by the traitors, so he gave me the magic mirror to let you know the true identity of the Demon Lord! "
Three rays of light suddenly shot out from the crowd towards Master Mu. Master Mu was unable to dodge and was illuminated by the rays of light. Black smoke suddenly rose from his body, and countless human heads appeared in the black smoke, as if countless ghosts were wailing.
The wailing ghost did not want to attack Master Mu, but wanted to stay away from Master Mu, like a miserable person who wanted to escape from the torture of hell.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not control their own fate in the billowing black smoke, and they flowed into Master Mu's body like a turbid stream!
The man who looked like a member of the Holy Temple shouted, "This is the peerless magic skill that the Demon Lord has cultivated. He gained this evil power by wreaking havoc on the world and killing all living beings! Those evil spirits are the energy that the Demon Lord has cultivated. As long as the Demon Lord keeps killing, his power will become stronger and stronger, and one day he will bring terror to the world!"
Mr. Mu: "I didn't—"
The people in the temple shouted loudly: "First cut off his limbs and pierce his lute. He has an endless evil power. Ordinary shackles can't restrict him at all. He must be completely deprived of the power to resist!"
At the same time, several people from the Holy Hall attacked Master Mu at the same time.
Seeing the Abyssal Hell Undead behind Master Mu, the faces of the people in Tiance Mansion were extremely ugly. The red-haired dog shouted: "Follow me to capture the criminal Master Mu!"
Ren Suo blinked and found that he had finally entered the battle scene!
Except for the protagonist, Mr. Mu, everyone in the screen has a red icon, and the small map shows that there is only one green dot, and the rest are all red dots!
This game starts out 1v99?
However, when Ren Suo saw Master Mu's skill column, he felt that it might be possible -
"Devil Flame Fierce Sky", "Phantom Demon Body Skills", "Devil Armor", "Immortal Demon Seal", "Armor-Breaking Invisible Demon Sword", "Earth Demon Beheading", "Devil Blood Staining the Blue Sky", "Devil Teng"...
Longlong has more than a dozen skills in total, covering six major aspects: attack, defense, movement, reconnaissance, treatment, and assistance. The attack skills include both powerful AOE sweeping skills and high-burst single-target output skills, and all skills have extremely short cooling time!
Ren Suo estimated the control method and decisively gave up the game controller and switched to keyboard and mouse mode.
The battle begins!
As soon as he came on, countless sparks burst out from Master Mu's body, and more than a dozen messages popped up in the battle information list: "Master Mu was attacked by the thunderbolt fire bombs of the people from Tiance Mansion and suffered 3 points of damage." Fortunately, defensive abilities such as "Magic Armor" were automatically cast, and Master Mu was unharmed!
Facing the Templar warriors rushing over, Ren Suo immediately ordered Master Mu to use the "Invisible Magic Sword that Breaks Armor" and "Phantom Magic Body Skills" to teleport behind them and use the invisible sword energy to critically kill them all!
As soon as blood was seen, the battle scene immediately became fierce. At this time, the "earth dog" had already approached Master Mu, and his hands burst into flames and hit Master Mu -
"Master Mu was attacked by Tiance Tugou's Burning Wood Sword Technique and received 104 points of damage!"
Seeing the enemy who had severely injured him, Ren Suo didn't show any mercy and threw out all of his "Immortal Demon Seal", "Earth Demon Beheading" and "Demonic Flame Fierce Sky", which actually emptied the earth dog's blood in an instant!
The dog was knocked out and lay on the ground like mud. Wumian hurried over to pick him up. It seemed that it was because Master Mu used the fire martial arts. The dog said in hatred: "I just taught you how to practice the fire martial arts not long ago, but you turned around and used it to kill people and set fires!"
Mr. Mu: "I didn't!"
"Hahaha." Tu Gou laughed and spat out a mouthful of old blood, pointing at the thousands of resentful spirits in the black smoke behind Master Mu and said sternly: "Tian Ce Mansion, listen to Wu Mian's order, kill the Demon Lord!"
Wumian did not fight with Master Mu like a dog, but instead commanded nearly a hundred people from Tiance Mansion to encircle and suppress Master Mu from a distance.
Two fists are no match for four hands. Under the orderly siege of nearly a hundred people, even if Mr. Mu could defeat anyone here, his blood and internal energy would still inevitably be consumed violently. After a while, his blood bar was only half left, and his internal energy was almost running out!
But there are still many enemies, 'people from Tian Ce Mansion'!
"Could it be that this is a doomed plot?" Ren Suo couldn't help but think of this.
Indeed, some games will allow players to gain powerful skills at the beginning, but then set up a battle that is bound to be lost.
Once the player loses, he or she will naturally lose his or her powerful skills and have to start leveling up and playing from the beginning.
However, in this way, players can not only experience the refreshing combat experience of this game from the very beginning, but also have a reasonable reason to become stronger from weak, which can attract players to the greatest extent possible.
This kind of opening method is quite popular among game manufacturers, but it is a bit cruel to the protagonist.
But the Small World Game Machine quickly overturned Ren Suo's guess: "Does it consume the power of the evil spirits?"
Ren Suo blinked and hesitated for a moment, but now Master Mu could no longer use most of his skills and was about to be killed by the people from Tian Ce Mansion, so he clicked "Yes".
In an instant, the black smoke ghost behind Master Mu let out a shrill wail and turned into red light that covered Master Mu. Master Mu's health and internal energy were replenished to full value at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he gained a special state:
"Kill to support killing: consume a large amount of the power of resentful spirits, enhance all attributes by 50%, and enhance the power of all martial arts by 100%."
"Due to the consumption of the power of the evil spirits, Master Mu's camp is leaning towards lawful evil."
However, this action was very conspicuous. Everyone in Tiance Mansion saw this scene and shouted loudly: "Monster!"
"It's really the Demon Lord!"
"For the sake of the people, we cannot let him go!"
However, facing Master Mu, who was always in full health and mana and whose attributes were greatly enhanced, the people of Tiance Mansion could not beat him at all. After a short while, they were all defeated and more than half of them were killed or injured.
When Master Mu ended the battle, the maid Xiaoyao and the beauty Ling'er both came out.
They first looked at the dead body on the ground with horror, and then looked at Master Mu quietly, with strange emotions in their pupils.
Master Mu thought, "After this massacre, I have no chance to turn back. Even if I was framed before, now the killing of my colleagues has been confirmed.
Tian Ce Mansion will never tolerate me, and the five major sects are hunting me down.
The world is so big, there is no place for me to stay…"
So Master Mu glanced at Xiaoyao and Ling'er, then used his body skills to quickly leave.
However, as soon as he left the crime scene, he was confronted by a sloppy Taoist and many Tian Ce warriors!
"brute!"
The Taoist shouted angrily and flicked his sleeves, and thunder beasts and firebirds rushed out and killed Master Mu!
The Tian Ce warriors were not willing to be outdone and used military crossbows to stop Master Mu.
Compared to the people from Tian Ce Mansion, the attacks of Tian Ce warriors were more organized. Countless hidden weapons fell on Master Mu and actually slowed down his steps and almost completely destroyed his protective Qi!
Ren Suo controlled Master Mu to use the "Phantom Demon Body Technique" and tried to rush in and kill a lot of people. However, the Taoist was not only able to perform Taoist magic, but also sword-controlling skills. When Master Mu rushed over, he directly used the flying sword to deplete Master Mu's health.
Sure enough, when Ren Suo saw the Demon Lord, he had a vague feeling that the upper limit of force in this game was quite high.
But now it seems that this is not a martial arts game at all, but a fairy-tale game!
This time, Master Mu quickly used up all his blood and internal energy. Ren Suo had no choice but to choose to consume the power of the vengeful spirit once again.
However, the cooperation between the Taoist and the Tiance Warriors was so wonderful that Master Mu consumed the power of the vengeful spirits many times, but he was only able to kill a few Tiance Warriors and no more achievements. Instead, disturbing game prompts kept popping up -
"Due to the consumption of the power of the vengeful spirits, Master Mu's camp is leaning towards neutral evil."
"Due to the consumption of the power of the vengeful spirits, Master Mu's camp leans towards absolute evil."
"Due to the consumption of the power of the evil spirits, Master Mu's camp is always absolutely evil."
"You have lost control of Master Mu."
Um?
Ren Suo let go of the mouse and keyboard, and found that Master Mu really didn't need him to control him. He just used his skills with red eyes and ferocious face to kill indiscriminately.
I don't know when the picture style changed to a blood-red dark tone. When Ren Suo lost control of Master Mu, the darkness around him gradually eroded towards the center, and finally the picture turned completely dark.
After a few seconds, a beam of light appeared on the screen, and the game returned to the start interface by itself, and a game prompt popped up:
"Ending: Powerless: Master Mu eventually fell into the vortex of evil, and finally turned into a demon king and was killed by the six major sects."
Is this the ending?
Although it was the ending, not even the mission evaluation was given. This was simply telling Ren Suo that he had screwed up.
Ren Suo scratched his head and crossed his hands to think about how to play.
Kill fewer people?
Without consuming the power of the resentful spirit?
Escape by another route?
Ren Suo then played it again three times. He didn't kill anyone the first time, but he still messed up because he consumed the power of the vengeful spirit.
The second time, he didn't consume the power of the vengeful spirit, and was killed by Tu Gou and Wu Mian at the beginning;
The third time he tried to escape by another route, he still ran into the sloppy Taoist priest and the Tiance warriors...
How do you play this?
Ren Suo sighed, and had to use "Demon King's Coming·Decree" to strengthen "A Thousand Miles Away" to increase his understanding and think of ways to break the impasse.
Soon, Ren Suo found the turning point in the game:
When Master Mu went out to surrender himself, the Tian Ce Mansion still believed him at first. However, because the people in the Holy Hall used the "Magic Mirror" to reflect the vengeful spirit in Master Mu's body, the situation got out of control!
So, the correct approach is to rush through and kill the people in the Temple at the beginning?
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!"
