Chapter 32 [Scene 16] Don’t you want to be my friend anymore?
[You have new news!]
[Chatting with “strangers”]
"I met your 'good friend'."
--anonymous
"Original position, top."
--"stranger"
He Yuezhe closed the chat interface, followed the reply from the "stranger", and ran cautiously towards the central tower.
Just now, after she had regained her normal appearance and heard the world announcement, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
This place is actually used as a battlefield for PVP gameplay. Maybe a large number of players will gather here soon!
As for those towers that have not yet been gathered together, they will surely take the opportunity to move somewhere during this period!
She had to get "there" as soon as possible!
"Host, a large amount of impure energy fluctuations have been detected, scattered across this continent." The system said.
"The form has been sent to your wristband. If you need help, I can help you with the salvation."
Energy classification report: Kindness 10%, Peace 11%, Anger 34%, Resentment 9%, ??? 36%.
"Also, the energy you can currently use for salvation is limited. Please be cautious when performing salvation!"
"Will there be any reward for salvation?" He Yuezhe avoided the sight of the patrol tower and leaned against the wall, breathing softly.
The system proudly said, "Of course there are! But none of them are as useful as me! Host, please use me with peace of mind!"
"...Really? Okay."
He Yuezhe did not meet the "Happy Future Bear" this time, so naturally he did not get the black short blade he gave him.
She had no choice but to take out the star-shaped weapon filled with water that "Balloon" had given her from her backpack, hiding in the dark and observing the movement of the nearby tower.
[Weapon Name: Happy Birthday]
[Weapon Introduction: Happy birthday, of course it always comes with a few surprises...]
...isn't it?
He Yue calculated the blind spot left by the intersection of the two towers and jumped over it quickly and lightly!
With a swipe of two fingers on "Happy Birthday", an identical star separated and rushed towards the ceiling according to He Yuezhe's instructions!
She had no strategy, and if she wanted to reach the top in a short time, the only way was probably to walk on the towers.
As soon as the star touched the ceiling, a crack quickly appeared!
The liquid inside gushed out and a protective shield was generated around it!
A thin film slowly grew on the surface of the liquid. It was not hard, but it was enough to protect it.
He Yuezhe had thought that the weapon the "balloon" gave him would be very powerful, but this explosive weapon that could be used for both offense and defense and could be recycled was still a bit too shocking.
She put away the "Happy Birthday" body and crawled out from the crack in the ceiling.
^
A ceiling that feels solid but is actually level 10 fragile, and a mysterious area that's so fragile you'll sink into it, but is actually level ???.
——Why do these two building materials look so similar?
Speaking of which, He Yuezhe always felt like he had seen this high-tech material somewhere before...
"Host! The energy fluctuations in various places are still growing stronger, and may very likely cause the world to collapse!" The system's words interrupted her thoughts.
He Yuezhe was silent for a moment, then said, "You want me to save them?"
"Not really. The energy they can obtain from the salvation of all of them combined is probably not as much as the mission target can obtain alone."
The system replied, "After all, as NPCs in the game world, most of them haven't yet awakened their self-awareness."
"The stronger the wish, the more energy you can gain from saving her." The system seemed to sigh, and it closed its mouth and stopped talking.
He Yuezhe got the information she wanted and did not linger any longer.
Relying on the air wave generated by the explosion of "Happy Birthday", she crossed the soft and mysterious area at an extremely fast speed.
^
The center of the tower group, no, maybe it doesn’t need to be called a tower group anymore.
——This is a whole tower.
He Yuezhe approached the central tower and only then did he see the structure at its top.
From a distance, it looked like a pagoda top similar to that of an ordinary tower, but now, He Yuezhe suddenly realized that the spherical object was actually composed of countless black cubes!
The cubes of varying sizes rotated regularly around the top of the tower, and as their positions changed, the dark patterns on them also kept changing!
The buildings under his feet cannot be destroyed, so the only way He Yuezhe can go now is to enter the center of these cubes.
She marked "Happy Birthday" on every cube she could see, and then used the game's built-in multi-function camera to record the paths of all the cubes as they rotated one circle.
"Host, have you figured anything out?" the system asked in a "cute" (self-evaluation) manner.
"Well, look, that's the only rectangular area not covered by any path. It's most likely the door," He Yuezhe raised his head slightly towards it, "but I don't have the key..."
“Ding-ling-ling——”
Somewhere in the black cube, at the top of the tower, the same bell that was heard when entering the door rang again!
"Hello, over here!" A familiar boy's voice came from there.
...“Colorful World”?
He Yuezhe suppressed her curiosity, smiled sweetly, and walked towards the boy: "Are you here to pick me up?"
"..." "Colorful World" probably knew that he had recognized him, but for some reason seemed a little annoyed, "Can't you just pretend to be a stranger? Or do you treat strangers like this too?!"
"Don't you want to be friends with me anymore?" He Yuezhe opened his eyes wide and looked at him pitifully.
Come to think of it, this was the first time she spoke in the way the system taught her.
…
The two walked into the center surrounded by small cubes.
"Colorful World" glared at her fiercely, then sat on a small chair by the door.
At the innermost end of the room, a bright light flashed.
"You're here." The boy with the starry hair walked towards her from the light. "I've already cracked it to the previous level."
"97%?" He Yuezhe asked casually.
"Well, the remaining 3% is more difficult, and it's best to control the time between successful cracking and the end of the game to be within 30 minutes."
The young man identified as Yuan Yang explained, "So we have to advance the plot quickly, otherwise there's a high probability of problems."
"So, it was you who started the third stage?" He Yuezhe heard his words and remembered the third stage that he had inexplicably entered not long ago.
"Yes, the 'evil forces' are already preparing for the final battle, and someone has already infiltrated. It seems to be a big boss in their organization."
"So we delivered this message directly to the other three kingdoms in the name of the Tower."
Yuan Yang pulled out the three messages he had sent and showed them to He Yuezhe.
"...No one doubts it?" He Yuezhe lowered his head and glanced around before speaking.
Yuan Yang shook his head, frowning as if he was also confused: "No, the Kingdom always has an attitude of 'absolute obedience' to the orders from the Tower."
"All right."
After understanding the two people's actions, He Yuezhe also knew what to do next, but she was still a little curious: "So how did you meet him?"
In fact, as early as the first time they entered the hall, the two had discussed why the "Colorful World" was gone.
"He..." As soon as Yuan Yang said the first word, the "Colorful World" sitting next to He Yuezhe couldn't help but jump up.
He rushed forward and quickly formed seals with his fingers, and Yuan Yang's words were choked in his throat and he couldn't say them.
Colorful World took an exaggerated deep breath, and finally spoke slowly and clearly, word by word:
"fate."
He Yuezhe saw Yuan Yang's raised eyebrows and probably realized that things were not going as planned, so he smiled and nodded in response: "It's quite fate."
"You, you're not angry?" The strength that "Colorful World" had originally released started to rise again as soon as He Yuezhe finished speaking, "Didn't you just..."
"Well, you guys keep up the good work, I'm going to go push the plot! Also, goodbye, stranger!"
He Yuezhe immediately interrupted the boy, waved at the two of them, and ran out of the control room.
“Ding-ling-ling——”
As the bell rang, the door of the control room opened and closed again.
^
"Host, the mission information has been updated, please check it in time!" He Yuezhe had just run a few steps when the system's voice came into his mind.
——[Quest Progress: 79% (Updated!)]
[You have unlocked new plot points: 2.1.2 Showing Your Talent, 2.1.3 Setting the Fields on Fire (Updated!), and more plot points await your exploration!]
[Quest Subject Status: Somewhat Exhausted (Changed from Fully Motivated) (Updated!)]
[Transcendence Progress: -19% (Updated!)]
[Success rate of salvation: 19% (updated!)]
"receive."
There is a lot of progress, although it is still negative.
"Host, host, what are you going to do next? You won't leave little me here, will you?" The system's voice was a little tearful, "How am I going to survive if that happens!"
"...Let's go check the mezzanine."
Ever since He Yuezhe came into contact with that soft material, he has been obsessed with it.
Rather than being interested in the material, it would be more accurate to say that she is interested in the space within the material.
The compartment is made of that special material, so there must be something special going on inside.
^
[? ? ? : Some special material that cannot be detected.]
He Yuezhe used the game's built-in scanner to scan again out of disbelief, but the result was still three question marks.
She had no choice but to summon "Happy Birthday" again, put a few on it, and retreated with the system!
Due to the characteristics of the built-in protective shield, the sound and visual effects of the "Happy Birthday" explosion will be concentrated inside the protective shield, so there is no need to worry about being discovered by other towers.
"Host, there are players heading towards the towers."
The system reminds: "Hey, there is such a special energy in the wave. You can go and see it later - see -"
"have a look--"
"look----"
…
"Host, are you okay? I don't want to lose you at such a young age, wuwuwuwu—"
The system looked at the host who landed in a "handsome" posture but did not move, and cried worriedly.
“No, no, where did you learn that posture?! Uu ...
Huh? What's so cool about her single-minded pose with her arms raised and legs hanging down?!
He Yuezhe returned to her "normal" posture with a frown on her face, that is, she climbed onto the platform where she had just barely hung on, and hid in the darkness in an "elegant" (system's idea) crawling posture.
This platform is very large, about the same size and shape as the control room.
He Yuezhe stuck his head out to look. Next to the tall metal pillar was a long circular passage, connecting the two ends of the metal pillar under He Yuezhe.
On both sides of the passage are rooms arranged at intervals, which look almost identical.
She suddenly realized that what she had thought were the images on the metal pillars were just meaningless lines.
Now, if we put them together, it should represent the map of this compartment.
——A large star is used to represent the metal pillar, and numbers are marked on both sides of the circular passage, that is, on the rooms.
"1, 2, 3, ... 123?"
He Yuezhe followed the numbers and at the end, he saw "123" written in printed letters on the room closest to the metal pillar!
Wait, familiar circular building, familiar numbers, familiar "walls"...
How could this happen?!
