Chapter 302 Monster Hospital (I)
The irregular plastic pieces seemed to sense something and separated from Nan Huan's body. Finally, they stopped in mid-air together with the two pieces in her hands. The irregular boundaries collided with each other in the same way as aliens collided with their fingers, as if they felt the breath of their own kind.
The next second, the originally gray plastic sheet finally shed its camouflage and emitted a crystal-like light. Its size continued to grow, and a vivid flower bud slowly appeared on the crystal structure. It grew rapidly within a few seconds, bloomed, and finally turned into petals made up of flowing water. The pink light should not be dazzling, but it was very dazzling.
At the same time, Nan Huan felt that the pink vine on her arm seemed to have sensed the call, and it flashed twice at the frequency of the crystal flashing. She looked down and found that the originally disharmonious vine had surprisingly become very harmonious after the last two Hels turned into petals and hung up, as if the entire vine was like this from the beginning, and it only gathered together again after going through so much.
Before she could be shocked, a familiar arm was wrapped around her waist. Nan Huan turned her head in surprise, and Bei Xi kissed her regardless.
It all happened so suddenly that Nan Huan felt that Bei Xi's kiss seemed to carry a long-suppressed wish and eagerness. There seemed to be a hint of strangeness in the familiarity, but Nan Huan had no time to experience it carefully, because Bei Xi had quickly let go of herself and returned to her original appearance.
The crystals and pink petals in the air continued to flash brightly. Nan Huan's confused thoughts seemed to be at a loss as to how to sort them out. She instinctively looked at Bei Xi, "Are you...are you okay?"
Bei Xi's gaze has never left Nan Huan since the moment she woke up. No matter whether it was the dense black air on the dome or the totem of faith that was so close, it seemed that they could no longer divert her attention at all, because her amber pupils only reflected Nan Huan's appearance, as if she wanted to look straight into the other's heart.
"fine."
After a long pause, Bei Xi finally spoke. Her calm tone seemed to imply some other profound meaning, but Nan Huan did not understand it at once because her arm suddenly began to feel hot without any warning.
She lowered her head unconsciously, but saw that the pink vines seemed to be more active than before because they felt Bei Xi approaching. Not only were they getting hotter, but they also seemed to be eager to get closer to each other.
Before she could utter a cry of surprise, the next second, Bei Xi seemed to sense something and reached out and pressed on Nan Huan's arm. Her cold fingers pressed directly on the vine, and the restless feeling disappeared in an instant, like the instinctive obedience of a subordinate to a superior.
Nan Huan watched as the vines on his arm disappeared at an eerie speed. The next second, a flower with petals made of flowing water, exactly the same as the one on the crystal, appeared on Bei Xi's neck. The blooming petals were red and swaying, and paired with Bei Xi's fair skin, there was an indescribable charm.
When Nan Huan looked up, he saw that the numbers above Bei Xi's head had also changed. The original [100][60/100] had changed and directly became [100][100/100]. More importantly, these two numbers were no longer locked.
But strangely, Nan Huan did not hear any prompt from the system in this regard. She seemed to have suddenly thought of something and looked sharply towards Bei Xi.
The latter was amused by her startled look and reached out to touch the top of Nan Huan's head. "It's not what you think yet. The moment I woke up, I couldn't control my behavior."
She stopped there and didn't say anything else, but her behavior had returned to the state that Nanhuan was most familiar with, and the slight sense of strangeness that was mixed in just now had completely disappeared.
The other players around didn't know what the two were talking about, but they were still very happy to see the president wake up, especially the flower that suddenly appeared on his neck that looked exactly like the totem of faith, which was even more eye-catching. Even though many players didn't dare to look directly at him due to the president's majesty, they still secretly glanced at him several times.
Following the other party's words, Nan Huan actually wanted to ask something else, but the system did not give him another chance. After disappearing for a while, it finally came back online.
【bite--
All players please note that the Faith Totem fragments have been collected, the Faith Totem has reappeared, and the Ultimate 3S Dungeon Monster Hospital has been activated. 】
Compared to the previous announcement that the eldest lady has obtained the fragment of the Totem of Faith, it is obvious that everyone wants to hear this more. After all, in this situation where the domes of all copies and rest areas are filled with black energy that can destroy everyone at any time, this ultimate 3S copy is more like a hidden variable.
Although everyone was in different copies and regions, they all tacitly stopped breathing at this moment and listened to the system broadcast very quietly.
However, other players do not know what is happening now because they cannot see the fragments of the faith totem.
Only the players who were in Bailan City with Nanhuan could see that after the system's announcement, the faith totem in the air finally changed. The crystal continued to expand and extend, slowly forming a passage that extended directly to Nanhuan's feet, as if inviting him to come in.
Although the players nearby were very excited, they were somewhat confused by what was happening in front of them. This passage seemed to have recognized its master and was just crawling at the feet of the young lady. They were not sure if they would have the honor to go in. After all, if they looked into it carefully, all the fragments of the faith totem were collected by the young lady alone. It seemed that only she had the ability to open the ultimate 3S level copy.
If only the young lady is allowed to enter, the notification should only be given to that individual, why is the notification being made to the entire game?
The excitement I felt when I heard the announcement turned into confusion in an instant.
On the one hand, the black gas on the dome has not subsided, and on the other hand, no one knows what is hidden on the other side of the passage.
Compared to the struggles of other players, Nan Huan and Bei Xi seemed to be the calmest two people. Even the moment the passage appeared, Nan Huan did not think about anything at all. He took Bei Xi's hand and stepped directly onto the passage. However, the two did not move forward immediately. This obvious action seemed to activate something.
And the next second, the system's individual notification sounded in Nan Huan's mind.
【bite--
As the owner who has collected all the fragments of the Totem of Faith again, you can choose to invite players to participate in this dungeon through the Totem of Faith.
Tip 1: The Ultimate 3S copy has no limit on the number of people.
Tip 2: The more people there are, the better; the fewer people there are, the better. Please choose carefully.
Tip 3: The overall game process that is being disturbed will not be paused due to the opening of the ultimate copy, but the only possibility to prevent the game from being disturbed is hidden in the ultimate copy. 】
There are three full hints, which shows a certain degree of caution in the game, or perhaps a concern about putting some choices in Nan Huan's hands.
In fact, among the three hints, the third one is the most important to Nan Huan. Although she had some guesses about it when the notification of activation of this copy was announced to all players, she was still a little shocked when she heard these three hints.
Compared to the players who were in other dungeons or in rest areas and were difficult to contact, Nan Huan had no way to tell them her hints, but for the other players who were present, she did not hide anything.
"So what the system means is that even if you enter this instance, the current game being invaded will not disappear or stop?"
President Barbie immediately grasped the key point, "It seems that there is a choice, but in fact, no matter you, Miss, or us players, we have no right to choose?"
President Alice was more concerned about practical issues. "Will there be any problems if so many players squeeze in together?"
Nan Huan did not answer the two people's questions immediately, but as if he had thought of something, a faint smile appeared on his lips, "You sounded like you already knew what I would choose? So you are all willing to go into this dungeon with me?"
The first sentence was more like self-mockery, while the second sentence was a sincere request for their opinions.
The players present were all straightforward people and made the decision in just a few seconds, but in reality, just as President Barbie said, there was no room for choice at all.
Because the selection of the characters for this copy is actually just an examination of the Miss's humanity by the system or the game. For those players who have not obtained the fragments of the Faith Totem, they have no right to choose at all, and only the right to be chosen by the Miss.
But the fact is, once the eldest lady abandons some people, all they will face is constant invasions of their copies and resting places until they merge into one with the black air.
On the one hand, one could enter an unknown copy and try hard, and there might still be a chance; on the other hand, one could stay where he was and wait to die. President Barbie didn't dare to say that if everyone had the right to choose, 100% of them would want to enter this 3S-level ultimate copy, but at least 99% of people would not sit and wait to die in the face of a real life-and-death situation.
Nan Huan did not waste too much time and quickly replied to the system, "I invite all players in this game to enter this ultimate dungeon together."
The system was silent for a few seconds. It was unclear whether it was a routine or if it was really surprised by Nan Huan's choice.
The next second, a prompt sound rang in the ears of all players except Nan Huan.
【bite--
Congratulations on being chosen by the Miss to enter the ultimate 3S level copy - Monster Hospital.
You can choose within thirty seconds to enter the Monster Hospital dungeon and explore the ultimate secret of the game, or stay where you are and wait for the game or the dungeon to be completely invaded.
Countdown starts: 30S, 29S...】
The system's voice was like the last straw, giving players a glimmer of hope in despair, but at the same time it pushed them into a dilemma.
That's a 3S level copy, the highest level copy that has never appeared in the game. Even if they enter, will they really be able to come out alive?
There are more conspiracy theories. Why would the young lady choose to help them when they are not related to her? If it were her own fault, why would she be willing to share the good stuff? Is there something dangerous hidden in this copy, and the young lady wants them to die?
But the current situation is urgent. If we don’t enter this copy, we will die.
Thirty seconds was stretched infinitely. For the players of the top ten guilds, this was a very easy choice, especially for the guilds that were in an alliance with one guild. The fact that the young lady chose them also confirmed, to some extent, which twenty people were the ones who were still alive in the guild league copy.
The thirty seconds quickly came to an end. Inside Bai Lan City, all the players had followed the eldest lady and the president and stood in the passage in unison. The players who had made their choice found a shiny door in front of them with a pink pattern on it.
Those who had made the decision walked into the door or passage without looking back. All the players who chose to enter suddenly felt a black screen in front of their eyes and a familiar feeling of dizziness.
Nan Huan couldn't see how many players chose to enter. A thin layer of sweat had formed on her palms. Bei Xi sensed her nervousness and hugged her tighter in the dark. "Don't worry. I don't think the system would want to squeeze everyone into the same instance. It should have other backup plans."
As if to verify what Bei Xi said, as soon as she finished speaking, the system prompt sound came again.
【bite--
Due to personal reasons of the players, not all the selected players have the ability to enter the Monster Hospital. Players who do not have this ability will enter the buffer zone. These players will not have any influence on the Monster Hospital instance. After the instance is completed, they will share the same result with the player lady. 】
Except for Bei Xi, the rest of the players were stunned when they heard this prompt. They didn't expect that players who had already made a choice would face the fate of being eliminated again after entering.
But after a few seconds, they understood the original intention of the game.
The game has set up an opportunity for the young ladies to choose. On this basis, the young ladies give all players an equal chance to be selected. Any one of them is abandoned, but because they are chosen to enter a 3S level copy, it is obviously unfair to some players with low abilities.
Therefore, in order to avoid being targeted by high-level players, the system needs to conduct a secondary screening after the player chooses to enter.
Some kind of barrier seemed to rise in the darkness, blocking the dense army of players and cutting off the mighty team in the middle.
There was a dark red area in the darkness, flashing a faint light. Players who were not selected were placed here.
No one knows what basis the system uses to make its selection, but whether the players are selected or directly abandoned, they all have the same concerns in their hearts.
The player with the nickname Sky Garden was very nervous, especially after hearing that he might not be chosen. After all, as the acting president of the Miracle Art, he was very worried after the Gambler's president entered the guild league. Especially after hearing that he was chosen by the eldest lady, on the one hand he wanted to enter the ultimate copy as soon as possible to find out what was going on with his Gambler's president, but on the other hand he really wanted to stay alive.
So when he found out that he was one of the chosen players and had easily crossed the barrier, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. But before he could fully recover, he heard new instructions from the system, which had been online very frequently today. Only this time, it seemed to be directed only to individuals and not an announcement.
【bite--
Because of your own characteristics, when you entered the dungeon, an unknown entity sent you an invitation to form a team?
Here is the invitation letter itself:
Hello stranger:
Although you don't know who I am, I know the wish you made when you entered the game. Now there is a precious opportunity in front of you. You only need to complete a small request, and I can fulfill your wish in the name of the game and let you leave the game safely. Are you willing to accept my invitation?
Now it's time for you to make your choice. Countdown is 30 seconds. 】
Perhaps it was because during this short period of time, although Sky Garden received a large amount of information like other players, he was very rational and was not caught off guard by the sudden invitation. He even keenly perceived the key point.
The countdown on the control panel ticked away bit by bit, and before the last second it reached zero, he made his choice.
For Nan Huan, the prelude of this game was indeed a bit long. She felt that she had been in the dark for a long time and had not heard any news about this copy.
Maybe it’s because they need to screen players, or maybe it’s because there are too many players after screening?
Nan Huan was in the endless darkness, holding Bei Xi's hand while thinking and waiting. After about five minutes, the system voice sounded again.
[The copy of "Monster Hospital" is loading...
Difficulty level: 3s
Initial number of players: Unknown
Plot summary:
When the world was created, monsters were born together with humans, and they have been around for a long time.
No one knows when the Monster Hospital was first established. All we know is that it contains the ultimate secrets of monsters and humans, and also holds some mysterious patients.
However, a long time ago, there was a riot in the Monster Hospital. Although the process of the riot was horrifying, fortunately it did not cause irreparable consequences. It was just that the external impact brought by the sequelae was more far-reaching.
Over the years, both hospital staff and patients have hoped that everything can return to normal.
After the Monster Hospital was no longer an isolated island, it has been actively recruiting talents.
After experiencing the baptism of several copies, including Night of Blood Moon, Perfect New World, No Return Travel Group, Shuimu Private High School, and White Orchid Rain Festival, you have vaguely realized that all these events seem to revolve around a certain source, but you don’t know where this source is. Now that the Monster Hospital has taken the initiative to send you an invitation, you feel that you are fully prepared to uncover the truth.
