Chapter 41
[End of event]
[Your coordination level has risen to lv.2]
[Has entered the tour state]
On the screen, the scene of the cave dungeon disappeared, and Su Xingyuan's own pixelated figure appeared on the screen again, walking leisurely.
Su Xingyuan glanced at the game clock and found that more than an hour had passed.
...Is this what they call being addicted to the game within the game? Su Xingyuan fell into deep thought.
Putting aside these random thoughts, he checked the items he had rented out.
Because the desserts were not consumed, they returned to the backpack intact, so Su Xingyuan couldn't be sure whether they would come back after being eaten by the little man.
However, the cave worm's illustration has returned to the [Monster Illustration].
The rent for renting items is very simple. In addition to increasing the experience bar and improving his level in the mini-game, there is also extra gold coin income.
In just one hour, his rent was 50 gold coins, and this was just the result of borrowing a monster encyclopedia.
However, compared with the dungeon monsters, these little guys were still too fragile. During this period, Xiuxingyuan did not slack off at all, poking the little guys from time to time to warn them, or hitting the monsters hard on the head when they were about to attack.
Each time the monster turned its head angrily, and then became even more angrily because it couldn't find who had poked it.
Su Xingyuan liked to see them so helpless and furious, so he poked them even more happily.
It's hard to tell whether he did this to help those cute pixelated people or just for fun.
Now that he had finished experiencing the new mode of the Monster Encyclopedia, his attention returned to his career.
The game didn't make him wait too long. Almost as soon as he closed the [Monster Encyclopedia], a new pop-up window appeared in front of him.
[Player's occupation has been successfully locked]
[Current occupation: Lord of Hell]
——It seems that game makers have given up struggling.
[Player profile panel updated]
Seeing this pop-up window, Su Xingyuan opened his personal panel.
[Nickname: Su Xingyuan]
[Level: lv.26]
[Physical Strength: 43.7 (+101)]
[Intelligence: 57]
[Strength: 72 (+7)]
[Agility: 63 (+2)]
[Defense: 44 (+2)]
[Remaining free attribute points: 10]
…
[Occupation: Lord of Hell]
He clicked to view career details.
[Due to the current player strength and level limitations, the unlocked professional special effects and skills are as follows:]
[Professional Basic Skill 1: Crossing Fire]
[Description: 1. The basic state of the fire is a temperatureless blue flame, and the temperature is given by the player's intelligence consumption]
[2. When in hibernation, the Fire Crossing does not consume intelligence and is hidden in the player's body, and can be called out at any time]
[3. Players gain the "Fire Tolerance" attribute and will be immune to fire damage]
[Professional Basic Skill 2: Deterrence]
[Description: The races that once survived in Hell will lose their will to resist when facing players and gain the "Fear" debuff]
[Note: If the player is found to be weak, they will launch a crazy counterattack. The Hell race cannot resist the temptation to kill the Lord of Hell]
[Professional Basic Skill 3: King's Domain]
[Description: The dungeons that players have conquered and the quest worlds that they have completed will be controlled by the players and connected to the [Home] mode, becoming a new hell controlled by the players]
[Note: The player is currently not strong enough to control the original hell]
Gaining three skills at once is enough to prove the power of the hidden profession [Lord of Hell].
The first skill [Crossing Fire] increases Su Xingyuan's current means of attack and expands his space of action, but the specific effect still needs to be tested in battle.
The second skill is extremely useful in a gaming world full of demons.
And the third skill... made Su Xingyuan feel a little surprised.
To be honest, he didn't expect that he would be able to control hell and command the demons at this stage. He was curious about how the game would reflect the professional identity of the Lord of Hell, but it turned out that he was allowed to set up his own business?
There are also dungeons and quest worlds that have been conquered... connected to the home mode?
He blinked slowly, realized something, and decisively closed his personal panel and opened the home map.
I saw that in the home map that had only been unlocked for a few dozen square meters, new visible space appeared at the edge of the unlocked area of the map.
Su Xingyuan enlarged the map, and the picture there gradually became clearer.
He even saw the jungle where the Kuli people lived.
“Wow.”
——What a big game.
This is beyond the realm of hell.
As we all know, the reason why hell is called hell is because the environment there is extremely harsh and there are demons who are constantly fighting.
If it's just sewing a dungeon, it's okay. Most dungeon environments are not very friendly, but it still looks like that.
But if he could still sew the mission world... Su Xingyuan even suspected that he could be directly called the Lord of the World in the later stage, so why would he be the Lord of Hell.
In this game, is it true that the final boss is not the player?
Although he had doubts, Su Xingyuan was very satisfied with the Lord of Hell's current skills.
However, even though the last skill has stitched the world together, he still can't get through. There was a large area of white fog between him and those worlds - that is, the unlocked areas.
After all, it is obvious that the game is not set up so simply. I am afraid that only when his home is expanded to those conquered dungeons and certain conditions are met, he will truly become the master there.
Su Xing decisively used gold coins to upgrade his home twice.
Now his home has entered the fourth stage. The original space of dozens of square meters has expanded to a place as big as a middle school playground. The tent has also become a small wooden house, and it even has a medieval style decoration.
Now he has 2130 gold coins left.
Just the initial upgrade of the house requires so many gold coins that Su Xingyuan can already foresee the huge expenses that will follow.
Up to now, the only ways to obtain gold coins are selling items in the mall, completing tasks with gold coin rewards, defeating knight monsters, replenishing the [Monster Encyclopedia], or renting out monster information in the [Monster Encyclopedia].
There seem to be many methods, but it is really hard to accumulate gold coins. None of the things sold in the mall are cheap.
Su Xingyuan was lost in thought, and remembered the "Around the World" game he tried today.
...This is the only thing that seems to have the potential to make him rich.
I don’t know if those pixel characters have their own unique AI systems. Do they have independent personalities like the NPCs in the game world, or are they just a randomly created string of data?
【Ding Dong】
The alarm he set went off.
Su Xingyuan came back to his senses, quit the game, checked the time, washed up, and went to bed early.
The next morning, he changed into sportswear and went for another healthy morning run by the river - because he had to play games in the evening, he decided to run in the morning after some consideration.
It was five o'clock in the morning and few people were going out, but Su Xingyuan unexpectedly saw Zhang Mingwei hanging around the river.
However, compared to the night a few days ago, when the other party happily discovered Su Xingyuan and ran up to say hello, he seemed a little depressed today.
"What are you thinking about?"
Su Xingyuan thought about it and ran forward, but did not get too close. He kept a certain distance. When he was about to run in front of Zhang Mingwei, he suddenly asked a question.
"!"
Zhang Mingwei was startled and quickly turned his head. After seeing who it was, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He touched the back of his head awkwardly:
"I was wondering who it was. I almost punched him... Sorry, sorry, I was distracted."
He couldn't help but mutter, "Speaking of which, Su Shen, you walk too silently... Do you have to use stealth to greet your classmates?"
Su Xingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, slowed down, and walked parallel to him: "Think about it yourself, can you blame me? You look like you are about to fall into the river."
Su Xingyuan said, handing over a small bottle of water: "It's not opened yet, do you want to drink it?"
Zhang Mingwei was immediately moved to tears: "Shen Shen, you are my only God!"
After this interruption, Zhang Mingwei's condition was obviously much better and he didn't look so listless anymore.
Su Xingyuan smiled.
He didn't ask anything, as if he just came over to say a few words, and started running forward again.
If it were in a game, he would dig deep to see if he could trigger any event. But in reality, when it comes to things like this that are obviously not so good, sometimes it’s better to ask less, listen less, and know less.
"Actually...something happened to my uncle."
He didn't ask, but Zhang Mingwei followed him and spoke in a low voice.
Su Xingyuan paused.
He looked back expressionlessly, but slowed down slightly.
In the eyes of others, Su Xingyuan is simply the perfect tree hole. He has a sense of propriety and distance when dealing with anyone, and he will not expose anyone's secrets casually. He looks steady and restrained.
Therefore, in this situation, when others want to tell him something, they can express it very smoothly and naturally.
"There's not a big age difference between my cousin and I. He's older than me and he's very kind to me. I still remember the times he played with me when I was a kid."
"It's just that after I grew up a little, he joined the army. After all, we were not direct relatives, so we rarely met again."
"I don't know where he works, I just heard it's a confidential unit."
Zhang Mingwei scratched his hair, was silent for a moment, and said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Every time I hear other classmates talking about their families, I can't help but bring up my uncle."
Su Xingyuan: "Yeah, I've heard of it."
Zhang Mingwei: “…”
He choked and saw Su Xingyuan looking calmly at the face in front of him, and he felt that he didn't seem to mean it.
Zhang Mingwei reorganized his interrupted thoughts and said, "Anyway, it sounds cool, right? I always thought it would go on like this forever, and I would have the opportunity to listen to him tell some cool stories in the future..."
"But in the middle of the night, at three in the morning, we received the news... He was on a mission and never came back."
Zhang Mingwei was silent for a while, as if he was suppressing his emotions.
Then, he slowly said: "Even the corpse cannot be brought back..."
"The only relic... is a silver necklace stained with blood."
…
null.
The sounds of cicadas, birds, and people coming and going all seemed to stop in an instant.
The black-haired boy stopped completely.
