Chapter 3 The third wish will turn into your energy
The meal ended quickly and happily with the host's eloquent speech. He Yuezhe followed the team on the way back to the room, and the number of people in the crowd was getting smaller and smaller.
She saw the room that probably belonged to Yuan Yang's wooden face and secretly remembered it in her mind.
Although everyone looks unrecognizable now, it is still easy to tell them apart as long as you remember what they look like.
Since there was no room number on the door of each room, He Yuezhe could only estimate the distance between the two rooms for the time being.
"Hey, do you think this game is really that magical?" A snow-white person who looked like a cake patted her.
He Yuezhe turned back curiously: "Are you asking me?"
The cake had already gotten next to her and they were walking side by side.
"Well," Cake raised an eyebrow, "none of them look like they want to talk to me."
"Oh, judging from the appearance, it seems to be the same as what that person said. After all, I still don't quite believe that there are people who really look like cakes and taste delicious." He Yuezhe scratched his face embarrassedly.
Cake looked at her questioningly: "You mean, I, I am a cake?"
"Don't you know? That's what you look like on your badge." He Yuezhe pointed at the badge hanging on his chest, "Hey, what do you think I look like?"
The cake was puzzled and a little horrified when it picked up its own sign and saw that its own portrait actually looked like a cake, and it looked really mouth-watering.
Cake trembled and touched his face, a hand full of cream.
"I, I, I..." He stood there in disbelief.
"What do you think I look like?" He Yuezhe asked again.
“You, you, you…”
"1100012." The staff member who led them back to the room called out.
"Here!" the cake replied tremblingly.
He no longer looked at anyone, covering his somewhat melting face and rushing into a room on the right.
The cream splattered onto the rest of the team and then onto the floor when he hit the door.
But after he swiped his card and entered in a panic, the strange traces of cream disappeared in an instant.
"0101123," the staff member pulled her back, "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing." He Yuezhe replied in a low voice.
But it was not until now that she suddenly realized, since when did the players' appearances become like those on the signs?
She actually thinks this is normal...it's crazy...
^
No one spoke to her during the rest of the journey. The team was quiet and only the loud voices of the staff could be heard.
"0101123." The staff member stopped.
He Yuezhe noticed that everyone else in the team had returned to their rooms.
Does that mean my room is the end of this corridor? After all, if I go any further, I'll just run into a wall.
"Here." He Yuezhe responded as he picked up the card and stuck it on the access control panel.
And just as she closed the door, a familiar note was passed in through the crack of the door.
He Yuezhe had checked the note when it was stuffed in before, and found that the material of this note was exactly the same as the paper of the diary prepared in the room.
So if it weren't for the mandarin duck pattern, she probably wouldn't be able to find this person even if she completed the game.
He Yuezhe quickly pulled out the note and gently closed the door.
Nothing can be seen on the note, probably to keep it confidential. The special ink used was the same one used to draw the mandarin duck pattern.
She pulled out the flashlight from her coat pocket and shone it on the note. A line of very familiar words slowly emerged:
“1, 111, 111”.
Even without the system's prompt, He Yuezhe could probably guess that this note also came from Yuan Yang.
Looks like a location information?
I just don't know how Yuan Yang persuaded the staff member she had just met to help pass the note. Before she entered the room, she made sure that there was no one else in the corridor except that staff member.
This kind of behavior can be considered as private communication between players, right?
He is not afraid of exposing himself...
"Well, you can try this when you're in a bad mood, right?" He Yuezhe was exhausted after listening to the host's instructions for nearly three hours.
She sighed and sank into bed.
^
"Ding-ling-ling-ling—"
The sound of the bedside alarm suddenly disturbed He Yuezhe's dream.
She opened her eyes and tried to adjust to the morning sunlight.
There is a huge floor-to-ceiling window next to the bed in the room, but I didn’t notice it much last night when it was dark.
Now in the early morning, the gentle sunlight seems inexplicably out of place with the somewhat deserted decoration in the room.
He Yuezhe turned off the alarm clock.
She found that in addition to the alarm clock that suddenly appeared on the desk, there was also a set of clothes that looked like a uniform.
The material of the uniform is very soft, but if hit hard it will become as hard as rock.
The style is somewhat similar to a suit, but it should be more comfortable to wear.
There is also a cloak with a distinct otherworldly style, with a series of unique patterns floating on it, some of which look like the patterns on nuts.
There was a sticky note stuck on the clothes, with some words written on it that He Yuezhe could not understand.
“Haha ...——”
"Welcome everyone! The time is now—9:00 AM, holographic time!"
"The server for "Nuts" is officially open!"
"Please find a way to enter the game in the room! Please be careful - please do not communicate with other players! Otherwise, you will be caught in the turbulence of time and space!"
"Good luck to you! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
The room was filled with the sharp and frantic laughter of the host, who had been transformed by a machine.
"Good morning, host!" The laughter was drowned out by the system's energetic cheers.
"Wow," He Yuezhe responded halfheartedly while inspecting the room, "Does this mean we've already entered the game world?"
"Oh my God! That's right! Host, you've become so smart after just one day! I admire you so much!" The system's admiring voice came from the bed.
He Yuezhe was studying the desk and turned to look when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, the system started rolling around on the bed and showed a feeling similar to "happiness".
"Is this what you came back for?" He Yuezhe said in a sinister tone.
"What?" The system floated up from the bed. "Host, I'm quietly reminding you."
It slowly approached He Yuezhe, then skillfully placed itself on her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Things like ████ will eventually backfire, okay?"
He Yuezhe didn't want to pay any attention to it, but she kept hearing bursts of ghostly aura, which made her very impatient.
He Yuezhe frowned and turned around to chase it away.
But the moment she saw the system, it suddenly deflated as if it had been hit by an arrow, and turned into a piece of skin that fell softly on her shoulder.
When He Yuezhe came to his senses, all he saw was a pile of dust, which was blown away by the wind from the floor-to-ceiling window.
"...Ah," she patted the dust off her shoulders and sighed softly, "This fake system isn't that great after all."
…
After some searching, He Yuezhe finally found the "Beginner's Guide to Nuts" in her desk, which she had forgotten where she had put it.
Because the words inside were as distorted as those on the sticky note and she couldn't understand them, she put it aside and ignored it.
However, considering the current situation, this book seems to be a key item.
[Congratulations on unlocking Backpack Level 1!]
[Would you like to collect the "Nuts" Beginner's Guide (99.9% Success Rate)?]
[whether]
As the mechanical sound fell, a row of square grids appeared at the bottom of He Yuezhe's sight.
He Yuezhe was somewhat surprised and tapped the [Yes] button with her finger. It actually had the same texture as a keyboard.
The strategy manual in her hand was also absorbed into that row of grids like a string of data.
The first square in the grid has a picture of a book, which should be the pattern of this strategy manual.
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully collecting the "Nuts Beginner's Guide"]
[This item is detected as a manual. Do you want to use the one-click reading function (99.9% success rate)?]
[whether]
He Yuezhe clicked [Yes].
[Your environment has changed!]
He Yuezhe suddenly felt like she was floating in the sea, and a terrible feeling of suffocation and powerlessness swept over her.
The contents of the book appeared everywhere in this data world where black and blue intersect.
He Yuezhe saw a pair of huge, lifeless, pure white eyeballs in the distance, which were trembling and absorbing all the digitized content.
There was a sharp pain in my brain.
He Yuezhe can be accurately considered as a brain because her brain is obviously materialized.
Slowly, she felt that she was gradually turning into a brain, and her whole body was in pain.
"It" hears the sound of waves, "it" sees the flow of data, "it" smells the salty smell, and "it" tastes the taste of blood.
——It felt a piercing pain!
[Congratulations on successfully reading the "Nuts" Beginner's Guide"!]
[Congratulations on successfully learning about Holographic Language!]
[Congratulations on successfully obtaining the game qualification!]
He Yuezhe covered his head which was still aching.
The pain gradually subsided until the sound of waves and the strong smell of blood completely disappeared.
She grabbed the armrest of the chair, shook her head and forced herself to stand up.
Sure enough, after reading it, He Yuezhe could basically recognize all the words on the sticky note.
"Please write down your... wish on a slip of paper?"
[Congratulations on successfully triggering the plot "The First Choice"! Please write down your wish, and it will turn into your energy!]
A feather pen appeared out of thin air in He Yuezhe's hand, with a crystal-clear pearlescent light emitting from the tip of the pen. This was most likely a magical prop.
She casually drew a swirl on the note.
This pen writes smoothly, and the words written have a special shiny effect.
[Attention! Please do not enter meaningless symbols (1/3)!]
A line of words flashed on the paper with two "clicks", and the vortex disappeared as quickly as if it was being erased by an eraser.
He Yuezhe guessed that this wish was probably related to the development direction of the game, so...
——"Please remember me"
[Attention! Please put punctuation marks at the end of the sentence (2/3)!]
——"Please remember me."
[Are you sure you want to enter this? The probability of this wish being fulfilled is only 1.1%!]
[whether]
He Yuezhe thought for a moment and nodded [Yes].
The note then broke into several pieces with a "bang" and merged into the uniform underneath.
The uniform was gradually enveloped by a soft yellow-green light, and floated into the air under the support of the light.
The light moved around above and finally gathered on the right chest of the uniform. He Yuezhe felt that the badge hanging around his neck was being sucked by a suction force and floated towards the place where the light gathered.
After a flash of lightning, the sign and the light turned into a valuable-looking nameplate, which was hung on the uniform.
[Would you like to change into your game uniform immediately?]
[whether]
After He Yuezhe pressed the [Yes] button, she felt a flash of white in front of her eyes.
When the light faded, he was already wearing that uniform.
[Congratulations on successfully completing all prerequisite tasks (3/123)! The rewards have been sent to your backpack.]
[The door to the game lobby is now open! Please enter the game lobby before the countdown ends!]
The floor-to-ceiling window on the right quickly turned into a somewhat rustic bronze door after the words were spoken.
After He Yuezhe confirmed that there were no other missing props in the room, he walked towards the bronze door.
As I approached the bronze door, I saw the door handle was surrounded by the same yellow-green light as the uniform I had just worn.
She pressed the handle without hesitation and pushed open the door, revealing a long glass corridor.
——It’s exactly the same corridor as the one leading from the lobby of Traffic Light Company to the room!
[Congratulations on successfully completing the beginner tutorial (3/123)! The reward has been sent to your backpack.]
[You will soon enter the game lobby from the initial house!]
