Chapter 8, Level 8 (8) "Monster Book" Opens
The title "Young man is bewitched by beauty and is willing to die" played a significant role. Many tourists were bewitched by the title and clicked in. The number of views increased by hundreds, and in the blink of an eye, Gao Mengtang had more than 1,000 fans.
: Is this weird scholar becoming a scapegoat?
: Give up your life! How did the blind do this? What kind of skill is this!
: Go back upstairs, the skill is called love.
: I checked the skill list compiled by the beta test players, and there are no charm skills for the blind identity.
: No identity's initial spirit value has reached 999 yet.
: Players who play as blind people have the charm skill.
The strength in the game is mainly determined by identity attributes, but it is also affected by the individual player.
For example, the identity someone draws does not have the attribute of "strong and healthy", but if the player likes fitness in real life and has a strong body, he can still run fast and jump high.
But if the player draws the attribute of "weak body", even if he is a professional athlete, he will have to breathe heavily after every step.
: I believe that the blind man comes from a wizard family. He specializes in charms, and he may even be a succubus.
: Look at his face. Can a human be this beautiful? I'm not surprised to hear that he's a succubus.
: Hey! The more you guess, the more outrageous it gets! The wizard family is the [peripheral believers] of the ancient gods, not even formal believers. The succubus is the [family of the ancient gods], a branch of the ancient gods, a distant relative! Their status is much higher than that of the wizards.
: It can't be a succubus. Succubus and all other ancient god families and servant races rarely move around in the human world. They belong to the unknown and mysterious other world.
: A newbie emerges, what is the other world?
: Those who understand will understand, and those who don’t understand will never understand. Those who understand will understand by themselves... In other words, look up the guide yourself!
: The eccentric scholar left the magic book to the blind man, and he loved it deeply.
: The magic book is not rare, you can buy it in the system mall. 150 pieces of broken bones. But you can get the magic book in the first copy, you can say you are lucky.
: The fate of a dog licker @Weird Scholar
: So is the blind man a succubus?
In the video, a large colorful firework suddenly exploded. This is the barrage animation effect of sending gifts. The comments and barrage became even more popular, and a large group of people followed the fireworks and shouted: The rich are so powerful! !
Gifts need to be purchased with the universal currency of the Black Tower World [Broken Bones]. A large firework is worth 100 Broken Bones. The platform does not take any commission, and all of it will go into Gao Mengtang's wallet.
Broken bones can be used to purchase items, upgrade skills and equipment, build territories, etc. Broken bones are mainly obtained in dungeons. A medium-level player can only save 100 broken bones after working from morning to night for a week.
In the first game, a new player received a gift of 100 broken bones, which is rare.
: The blind man was favored by the powerful camp, right? Guess which camp will extend an olive branch to him first.
Most [camps] are created by players with strong strength and excellent performance. They can share intelligence and exchange materials internally, and fight against each other externally. Camps can be large or small, from a small team of a dozen people to a large organization of thousands of people.
: I guess it was [Dark Crossing Flash Butterfly] who recruited the Blind Man. They like players with good looks.
: The Dark Butterfly camp is well-informed, but its combat effectiveness is weak. In the last camp war, it couldn't even beat the weak camp of [Velvet Gallery].
: Upstairs, what happened to Velvet Gallery? There are 10 of them in the top 100, and you say they are weak?
: The top 100 players of Velvet Gallery were all poached from [Ghost Bamboo]. Velvet Gallery was lucky to discover two large resource points and became successful overnight. If we really want to talk about the strongest faction, it has to be Ghost Bamboo.
The speculation about the blind man's whereabouts gradually turned into a quarrel between the major camps. Until one player spoke up.
: They are all younger brothers in front of [Black Gull].
This sentence put an end to the quarrel.
: The one with the strongest overall strength is definitely the Black Gull.
: I have passed more than 20 dungeons, served as a leader in 5 major factions, and applied for Black Gull 3 times, but was rejected immediately every time.
: The richest man in a certain city wanted his son to join Heigull, so he used his connections to find a small leader, who offered 100 million yuan, but the deal was not reached.
: The pass rate is 0.005%, what do you think?
: Black Gull's resources are really great. As long as you join in, even a low-level minion can get an unconditional resurrection. Resurrection! Unconditional! Who wouldn't be tempted by this?
Seeing this, Yan Tao suddenly burst into tears and typed the following line of words: The assessment of Hei Gull is too difficult. Last time I applied for it myself, the assessment question I drew was to get the MVP in a high-level dungeon with 20 people. Getting the MVP in a large-scale high-level dungeon is as difficult as ascending to heaven! I tried five times and failed every time.
: Only self-recommendations need to be assessed, and if picked up by the HR department, you can join directly.
: I bet that after the game is over, the blind man will be picked up by the Black Gull personnel.

In the game copy.
Was the lock-opening advertisement on door No. 104 torn off?
He Lun and the drunk girl insisted that something was wrong here, but the pharmacist said there was nothing wrong. After arguing for a long time, the drunk girl stretched out her hand and said, "Give me the memory file."
The pharmacist stared at her for a while and then handed her the file.
Just as he put his hand on it, a moment later, the drunkard yelled "Ah!" and threw the file away: "Damn it, reading for 5 seconds, the spirit value has dropped by 20 points!"
"Not everyone is suitable for using skills," the pharmacist sighed, picked up the file and dusted it off, "Some identities consume their spirit points quickly when using skills, while others consume them slowly."
Heron withdrew his eager hand.
"Drunkard girl, do you need a mental recovery potion?" The pharmacist pushed his glasses and smiled elegantly.
The mouth is soft because of the food. After drinking the spirit-restoring potion, the drunk girl stopped arguing with the pharmacist.
There was no obvious abnormality, and the pharmacist read the memory file. The remaining three people sat at the door in a daze.
Gao Mengtang and He Lun stood shoulder to shoulder, and he asked quietly, "Are the small advertisements really different?"
He Lun nodded vigorously, then shook his head: "I feel different, the marks of being torn off are particularly obvious. I don't know why, but the pharmacist said they are the same. Maybe my mental value is only 52, and my memory is confused."
Gao Mengtang curled up with his chin resting on his knees, as if in a daze.
After a while, he opened the system page and found the ritual item he had just obtained, "The Forgotten Grimoire".
Item Description: As the name suggests, a magic book that was thrown into the dust and then picked up.
The writing is illegible and difficult to read.
As the player's exploration level increases, the content of the magic book will also increase. This forgotten ancient notebook may record more things than you think...
If the Grimoire is in the hands of a weird scholar, it can play a variety of roles, but in the hands of players of other identities, it has a single purpose:
Use "Forgotten Grimoire" x1 to open any section in the system, such as "Monster Book", "Secret History", "Local Chronicles", etc.
Gao Mengtang chose to open the "Monster Book" section.
Encountering the Hundred-Eyed Wizard twice, the Monster Book unlocks more information
Background story: He lived on the 8th floor of a residential building with poor security. For an adult male, living in an environment with poor security is not a big deal. But if it is a single woman, it is easy to get into trouble!
But one day when he came home, he never expected that an accident would happen to him.
…
■■“Bang”■■■■■■■■■
A life ended just like that. How unjust!
…
Note: The Hundred-Eyed Male Wizard can be saved
Gao Mengtang suddenly recalled an unusual incident he had encountered once, where the word “injustice” was written densely in blood on door number 8.
The body was found right in front of Room 8. Did the Hundred-Eyed Wizard die in front of Room 808? In front of his own home? Was he robbed? Why did he want to protest his injustice?
Let’s look at the sentence in the background story: “For an adult male, living in an environment with poor security, it seems that it’s not a big deal. But if it’s a woman living alone, it’s easy to get into trouble.”
This sentence appears in "Monster Book". Is it just a pun or is it hinting at something?
Gao Mengtang became curious about the Hundred-Eyed Wizard.
He was a person with a strong desire to explore. When he was five or six years old, he watched a horror movie. Other children were frightened and had nightmares. Gao Mengtang did everything he could to get a "cursed videotape" and played it at midnight. He was disappointed that Sadako did not crawl out of the TV. Later, at three o'clock in the morning, he held a white candle and dipped his fingers in red paint to draw talismans on the bathroom mirror. He ran into his brother who got up at night.
The materialistic genius brother, who was admitted to a top university at the age of fifteen with a gold medal in a competition, and then took the college entrance examination again to raise the school's average score and obtained a high score of 700+, was scared by Gao Mengtang and screamed, and really thought that the house was haunted.
Gao Mengtang received the first beating in his life.
Many years later, Gao Mengtang's passion for exploration has not faded, his courage and desire to cause trouble have not diminished, and his curiosity and desire to commit suicide have not diminished.
He wanted to learn more about the Hundred-Eyed Wizard.
The "Monster Book" says that he can be saved! Then you should know more about it!
Even with his visual impairment, Gao Mengtang was unable to stop himself from trying hard. He walked to the door of Room 8, pushed the door panel, touched the door lock, and turned the door handle.
The door is locked and cannot be opened.
But just as Gao Mengtang was turning the doorknob "click-click", a loud "bang" sounded like thunder out of the blue, scaring his teammates so much that they jumped up from the floor.
"What's that sound!" He Lun was like a cat with its fur standing on end due to stress. "I just heard a bang!"
The drunk girl was also frightened and dazed. The noise was so loud that it hurt her eardrums. It came from Gate No. 8.
The pharmacist also came over, his face pale and a layer of cold sweat on his high nose.
"It was gunfire," the pharmacist said. "I once encountered a shooting when I was studying abroad."
He Lun couldn't speak clearly: "1st, 1st floor, is there any gunfire?"
"I don't know. We didn't try to open the door before," Gao Mengtang said. "I just turned the door handle, but the door was locked and couldn't be opened."
The three of them stared at the blind man who seemed to be out of the situation and still smiling.
The door is open. What do you want? Come in and sit down?! Have a cup of tea?!
The pharmacist pushed up his glasses, the coolness of the lenses sliding across his glasses made his somewhat fierce white eyes even more frightening: "The sound of gunfire shouldn't be considered abnormal. This is a rookie copy, it won't be too complicated. The abnormality should be something we can see directly. We didn't hear the gunfire before because we didn't try to turn the door handle."
While he was talking, Gao Mengtang was still touching the door lock of Room 8, and was pulled away by He Lun.
"Brother, you are so worrying. Just stay quiet and stop touching me!"
Gao Mengtang reluctantly released the door lock.
As the gunshots rang out, he heard a soulful male voice reading from The Monster Book.
[He (the Hundred-Eyed Wizard) tried to open the door, but the lock seemed broken. After a while, the door opened from the inside, and a gunshot rang out. A big hole was pierced through his head by the quilt.]
[A life ended just like that. How unjust!]
