"well."
"well."
"well."
"well."
In a dilapidated courtyard, four players, Du Yu, Xia Yiran, Xu Xiaolan, and Wang Shichong, sat around a stone table in a pavilion by the pool, and each of them was sighing.
Here is a crack in the wall in a strange world.
The location of the courtyard was originally a city that looked very prosperous from a distance.
But when the thirty-odd players entered the city, they discovered it was essentially a maze! A seemingly bustling street suddenly transformed into a deserted ancient temple; a stately government office led them to a teahouse.
The NPCs in the city seem to be unaware of all this and continue to live their own lives.
Originally, the players thought these NPCs were transformed monsters. But after Mo Xiang killed a suspicious mortal, the surrounding mortals instantly fell into panic and fled in all directions. In addition, several monk NPCs with high cultivation levels jumped out and tried to capture Mo Xiang.
Mo Xiang could only log off and avoid it.
But within a few minutes, the dead suspicious NPC turned directly into sewage! The mortals who had just fled, as well as the monks who had rushed over, ignored the players who were traveling with Mo Xiang!
If it were just like this, I could still explore it slowly.
However, when Big Brother Tail was casually checking out the candy figurine stall on the street, the vendor blowing the candy figurines suddenly threw the hot candy at Big Brother Tail!
The sugar figures on his stall seemed to come alive, all turning their heads towards the big brother with the tail, shaking as if they were ready to pounce on him at any time!
In shock, the leader also went offline.
The hot sugar, which had not yet solidified, fell to the ground, and then, like a snake, it crawled back under the hem of the stall owner's clothes.
He still ignored the other players.
Obviously, there is something wrong with this city.
But after the players realized this, there was no way out.
The first few explorations have completely dispersed the players, and some of those who are unlucky have already started to brag and complain about their experiences in the group.
These four people came to this dilapidated courtyard one after another after being separated from the main group.
Because there are no NPCs, this dilapidated courtyard is relatively safe.
"We can't just sit here and wait." Xu Xiaolan looked at the three of them and suggested, "Why don't we check the yard first to see if there's anything?"
"I've already looked inside. There's a half-open treasure chest in the room, and there's still light inside," Du Yu said.
"You didn't take it?"
"This must be a trap!!"
"Where is the box? Let me go and take a look." Wang Shichong asked.
Du Yu pointed to a half-collapsed bungalow behind him and advised, "If you attract a monster, don't say I didn't warn you."
Wang Shichong and Xu Xiaolan came outside the house and saw the scene just as Du Yu described.
"If this were any other game, I would definitely go open the box..." Xu Xiaolan sighed.
After all, in other games, chests are specifically given to players as rewards for exploration. Of course, behind this inertial thinking, there are also many game developers who have created some anti-routine things.
For example, the classic treasure chest monster, or the plot that causes NPCs to complain after touching the box.
"Mr. Wei, is there something wrong with this box?" Wang Shichong asked in his heart.
"No problem, go ahead and open it." Wei Wufeng said.
"Ah? Really?" Wang Shichong was a little bit unbelievable. He took a step forward naturally.
"Open, open, open! Open your head!" Wei Wufeng hurriedly said, "Are you rushing to die? This is an obvious trap! Don't you feel the ominous aura in there?"
"Damn it." Wang Shichong retracted his leg.
"You're really asking for your life! How dare you come to a place like this! If you don't want to die, leave now!"
"Leave? There are monsters outside!"
"Think about it, there are so many demons out there, why aren't there any here?!"
"This place is desolate and remote, so monsters don't care?"
"Stupid!" Wei Wufeng said anxiously, "It's obvious that the evil spirits here have suppressed those little demons outside!"
"……Yeah?"
"If you want to die, please don't bury me here."
After Wei Wufeng finished speaking, he stopped talking.
So Wang Shichong said to Xu Xiaolan beside him, "Something is wrong here. We should leave first."
Back at the pavilion, Wang Shichong said again: "I feel it's not safe here. We'd better leave."
"Ah, why?"
"Think about it, there are so many monsters out there, why is this the only safe place?"
"Because no one poops here?"
"This should be a safe zone, right?"
"I think," Wang Shichong said seriously, "maybe it's because there's a boss-level monster here, so those little monsters don't appear..."
"That's true..." Du Yu thought for a moment and agreed. "In most games, the map where the boss is is quiet and peaceful. To spawn monsters, you have to activate the boss before they'll be summoned."
"The small monsters are so difficult to deal with. If we encounter a boss, won't we be doomed?" Xia Yiran said.
"Maybe if the boss isn't activated, this place will be safe." Xu Xiaolan said.
After the words were spoken, the three of them looked in the direction of Xu Xiaolan.
"Ah, am I wrong?" Xu Xiaolan asked unconfidently when he saw the three of them looking at him.
