Wen Shi poured himself a glass of warm water with an expressionless face, wondering what nonsense he was talking about.
The taste of the witch water seemed to still linger in his throat. Wen Shi finished a cup and barely suppressed the taste. He turned around and brought up the simulator.
Ji Yuanzhi thought for a moment and said, "It can't be activated by just one person... This suggests it might need to be used in conjunction with a team item."
Wen Shi's eyebrows twitched when he heard this. This was a good idea: "Let's try it in two days."
He was quite interested in the [Simulator]. Peng Lu had died once, but this prop was not recovered. There must be something special about it.
Wen Shi needed some rest right now, so he decided to spend two days alone, reading some philosophy books, just to cultivate his character.
During the break, no one can let him go to the dungeon again, no one can!
[Player 460872, you have a message from the system, please check it.]
Wen Shi's resolute expression shattered for a second. Why hadn't the game given such a reminder before?
He clicked on the attribute panel, and the upper right corner kept flashing. When he clicked it, there was an invitation letter.
[Invitation: With this invitation, you can take a free luxury cruise. This cruise is unmanned and its destination is the City on the Sea. If you can successfully arrive, you will own this piece of land.
Validity period: 24 hours.
With land, you can build a [Kingdom], which is considered a welfare book.
Seeing Wen Shi standing there motionless with the cup in hand, Ji Yuanzhi broke the silence and asked, "What happened again?"
The word "again" made him shake his head slightly.
Wen Shi explained the invitation: "It seems that Yugi really intends to make the kingdom the core of the next game."
Ji Yuanzhi looked at him and said, "You don't want to make wedding clothes for others."
Wen Shi was silent for two seconds and shook his head.
"Games emphasize a certain degree of equal exchange; people won't work for nothing..." Wen Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can get a free pass, allowing us to leave the game and enter the virtual world in the future."
As the dean, Dad can still return to the copy after staying in the real world for a long time.
Wen Shi couldn't think of any other benefits for the time being, but a pass was tempting to him, as it meant he could continue to contact his family.
My father had emphasized starting a business in the past, perhaps to remind him to purchase personal fixed assets.
The pass is a way out, and the same is true for Ji Yuanzhi. No matter what he encounters in reality, he can return to the game in time.
"The invitation will expire at this time tomorrow." Wen Shi said, "If there are no other special requirements, we should be able to enter as a team."
Reaching the Sea City successfully was the ultimate goal; other benefits were irrelevant. To increase your chances of success, you needed strong teammates.
Ji Yuanzhi knew what he was thinking and reminded him, "The president has been selected into the test book."
If he wants to go to the dungeon, Xiaohua will have to stay and temporarily manage the guild, so it cannot be considered.
Wen Shi: "Where's President Li? Was he selected by chance?"
"How is that possible?" Ji Yuanzhi looked up at him, as if he had heard an extremely ridiculous question: "Those selected for the test version are all players who are particularly unique in some way."
After that, both of them fell silent.
Wen Shishen felt that his question was nonsense and said, "You can try to contact him."
Wen Shi was also prepared to take Song Yan with him as a member of the kingdom. Zhou Xiaochun's last divination hadn't completely healed yet. Wen Shi thought for a moment and sent a message to Liu Yuan and Liu Yun, telling them that if they were interested in going down to Ben, they could come find him tomorrow.
Ji Yuanzhi created a temporary group and after discussion, they decided to meet in the hotel room at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
The next day everyone arrived on time.
Anyway, you have to download a dungeon every once in a while, and players prefer to choose a dungeon with a clear theme and possibly more generous rewards. Wenshi meets all the requirements.
"The difficulty of the dungeon is still uncertain. If it's a high-difficulty dungeon, the team will fail," Ji Yuanzhi warned. "Then someone will definitely have made a wasted trip."
High-difficulty dungeons have strict restrictions on the number of people in the team.
Liu Yuan nodded: "Try it first, and if it doesn't work, we'll retreat."
After making sure everyone was mentally prepared, Ji Yuanzhi activated the item, and everyone heard the system notification tone at the same time:
[Player 377777 uses multiplayer team props. Do you agree to the invitation? ]
"yes."
[All teams formed successfully]
[Player 460872 used the invitation letter. This match is a directional match - A Journey of Thousands of Miles]
[Traveling thousands of miles: small and medium-sized copies
Number of players: 6
Plot summary: This is an unmanned cruise ship with a variety of passengers on board, and the cruise ship is committed to providing the most exciting experience for every passenger.
Your role: You are Asa, Aaron's twin brother. You have just received an invitation. To grab some territory, you and a group of friends boarded the Kexing Wanli cruise ship.
Please note, due to your special status, you must be the first person to reach the City on the Sea.]
Twin brother?
Wen Shi curled his lips. It was a shame that the game could come up with this way to make up for it, with one person playing two roles. I wonder if there will be a salary increase.
The real issue worth noting is that the difficulty level is not specified. I have only experienced one similar dungeon at the time: Sunset Red Tour Group. At that time, the dungeon was already a single copy.
The transmission took quite a while, and Wen Shi asked, "Can I summon my family?"
The game prompt voice replied concisely: [Yes, but it is not necessary.]
He wouldn't even make money. Wen Shi's lips curled up. The game wouldn't even let him take ten points. It must be happy to see him waste them. This specific reminder showed that the game didn't like the family member he might summon.
The list of family members that can be summoned is currently fixed, and the game only negotiated the terms with these parallel world selves in advance.
Wen Shi felt that he could save the referral fee.
"I want to summon Yarlin."
Yarlin has an alternative identity as a missionary and is the only one in his family with a name in the kingdom.
"Do you want to spend 100 points to summon Yalin?" The mechanical voice became increasingly cold and ruthless.
"yes."
Wen Shi decided that when he met Yarlin this time, he would take the time to ask him what the gap was between him and Youxi that made him hold a grudge against him until now.
But think about it from another angle, even though he was about to be blacklisted by the game, Yarlin was still living quite freely, his strength was indeed extraordinary.
I don't know how much time has passed, and the surroundings are still dark, but Wen Shi can be sure that the long transmission has ended.
The nose was filled with the pungent smell of blood mixed with a faint scent of rotting flesh, and the buzzing of flies was annoying.
My foot stepped on something.
Wen Shi carefully bent down and picked it up. It was a small stone. He weighed it and threw it directly across the street. The sound did not attract any monsters.
"The financial sponsor, President Li..." Wen Shi called out in a low voice.
After receiving no response, he prepared to activate his skill and took out the lantern.
I seemed to be in an inner cabin, the walls stained with blood. A disemboweled corpse lay on the floor, and I couldn't tell if it was a player or an NPC. It couldn't have been dead long ago. The room had no windows, so the stench of corpse wasn't very noticeable yet.
Wen Shi continued to look forward, and a pale arm suddenly came into his sight.
He covered his nose and walked over. There was another corpse in the bathroom, also disemboweled.
Wen Shi had seen many corpses in various tragic conditions, and this was not the bloodiest of them all, but it inexplicably gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.
The most urgent task is to find Ji Yuanzhi and the others to reunite. Not long ago, Wen Shi had sent a message to Ji Yuanzhi through the kingdom interface, but it always showed that the message was being transmitted.
He placed his hand lightly on the doorknob, took a deep breath and pressed it.
Click——
In the silent corridor, the sound was particularly clear.
When Wen Shi stepped out, the kingdom interface showed that the message was sent successfully, and the system prompt sounded again.
"This is a cruise ship that's been to many places. Passengers died unexpectedly at the previous stops. You're the latest lucky person to come aboard."
"Tasks are being generated for this batch of tourists boarding the ship."
Wen Shi couldn't help but look back at the corpses in the inner cabin. Combined with this sentence, he could almost be sure that the dead were all players.
Unlike normal unique copies, the tasks for each player in this copy are different, and the tasks themselves are not very related.
[Side quest: Find the lost wallet
Mission content: Your ID and boat ticket are in your wallet. Please find them within three hours.
"Attention, since there are some guests with identities among this group of passengers, please be sure to do the following before completing the main mission."
"The king is a glorious ruler who cannot die;
The high priest is the king's first prophet and must remain always pure;
Cardinals are ruthless politicians who must learn to resist external temptations."
The requirements only mentioned a few things that players needed to do, and Yarlin was not among them.
Ji Yuanzhi and Song Yan are the candidates for high priest and cardinal respectively. As candidates, they must meet the requirements of the rules during the assessment period.
"That's too much." Wen Shi paced back and forth, frowning and asking, "Not letting me die, isn't that a bit too much?"
He knew he would die once in every instance. If we strictly followed the textual definition, a sudden drop of 100 HP could also be considered a death.
"Shadow, I want Shadow..." Wen Shi thought of the young man far away in Sangmen at this time: "Can you choose a new target for summoning?"
The only copy he didn't die in was the one where the tour group used Shadow as a scapegoat.
[cannot.]
The game only follows the program, and there is no such thing as changing the summoned object. What's more, the shadow is not the self in the parallel world.
Faced with a cold rejection, Wen Shi had no choice but to look for other players to reunite with his longing for Shadow.
He was very unconfident, and always felt that if he acted alone, he might get killed at the beginning and end.
Wen Shi believed that he had always had the ability to commit suicide. In the last dungeon, he wanted to learn to be steady, but he failed.
"Where..."
My people, where are you? Come and protect me.
·
When Ji Yuanzhi woke up, he was in a suite. The room was quite large, and it took him some time to explore the room. Finally, he found Song Yan, who was feeling sick, next to a bloody body.
The unfortunate child was teleported to the same bed as the corpse.
Before the two of them had exchanged a few words, they received a game prompt sound.
"The king is a glorious ruler who cannot die..."
Ignoring the rest of the words, Ji Yuanzhi pushed up the frame of his glasses, his eyes narrow and sharp behind the lenses.
Song Yan said directly, "This rule is too vicious. If you can't even let someone die, how can our king survive?"
