Constructing-Style Wizard

Time passed by minute by minute.

Tao Jinghe's excitement gradually dissipated.

There are less than 30 minutes left before the game maintenance starts, but why hasn’t the hidden career plot started yet?

Tao Jinghe looked around and noticed a one-way glass on the wall.

It seemed like someone was hiding behind the one-way glass and staring at him.

In order to prevent his newly created character from accidentally dying during game maintenance, Tao Jinghe clicked on the game interface and selected the offline button.

However, he couldn't log off!

The offline button is gray!

The game prompts that he is in a hidden career plot and the offline function has been disabled.

As a mature large-scale immersive online game, "Xinghai" also provides players with physical offline means.

That is to take off the helmet directly in reality.

This method will cause the character to be frozen for 1 day and forced to go offline as a penalty.

But the game will be maintained for 24 hours soon, and the penalty of freezing the character for one day can be said to have no negative impact.

With this thought in mind, Tao Jinghe decided to give it a try.

He switched the "operation mode" on the game interface and switched the sensory feedback of his hands from game mode to real mode.

Changes in the sense of touch in the hands.

He touched his real desktop, raised his hands, and his fingertips touched the helmet shell.

Just when Tao Jinghe was about to forcefully take off his gaming helmet, there was a sound and the pneumatic door next to him opened.

Tao Jinghe watched two figures in black robes walk in, slowly put down his real hands, and switched back to "game mode".

"The hidden career plot is about to begin. Let's take a look at the situation first."

Tao Jinghe was looking forward to it in his heart.

The man in black robe lifted his hood.

The two men revealed faces covered by metal masks.

One of them held a stack of documents.

He took a few steps forward, came to Tao Jinghe, looked at the text records on the document, and said in an electronically synthesized tone:

"I often drink bitter melon juice. I am 32 years old. I was born on the planet Newt-117. I graduated from a federal university a year ago. I have a secondary education in the adult grade. I have no service record in the Space Navy. Am I right?"

Tao Jinghe nodded silently.

The man in black robe threw the document in his hand towards the table, grabbed Tao Jinghe's chin, glared at him and shouted:

"No! What I said is wrong! You are not what I call a federal citizen at all! Your damn name is so disgusting! No federal citizen would name himself Bitter Melon Juice!"

"Snapped!"

A hard slap hit Tao Jinghe's face.

Tao Jinghe was stunned for a moment, his cheeks twitching. He never dreamed that he would be hit hard in the face by an NPC.

"Bah bang bang!"

Three more loud and heavy slaps.

The man in black robe grabbed Tao Jinghe's collar and roared:

"Who are you?! You damn, despicable soul! Why do you want to take over the body of a federal citizen?! ​​Who helped you do this?! Where do you wandering souls who can take over other people's bodies come from? Say it!"

what is this?

Is there something wrong with your NPC's brain?

What are you yelling at?

Tao Jinghe was slapped four times and became furious.

He wanted to open his mouth to curse, but suddenly found that he had lost the ability to speak, and his body was completely frozen, unable to move.

At some point, a black chain appeared in the hand of the second man in black robe.

One end of the chain was held by the man in black robe, while the other end penetrated Tao Jinghe's ankle and entered his body.

On the surface of Tao Jinghe's body, there were inexplicably many black chains shaking slowly in the air.

[You are attacked by the Suffering Monk. 】

【You are controlled by "Chains of Torture". 】

[You have officially started the hidden career mission. 】

[For the next 26 minutes, you will be tortured. 】

[Please explore the conditions for completing hidden professional tasks by yourself. 】

Being tortured for 26 minutes? !

Fear flashed in Tao Jinghe's eyes.

In other words, he will be tortured here until the game starts maintenance 26 minutes later!

What the hell kind of mission is this?

Why is there such a mission requirement?

How does the game review the plot?

Can this kind of plot be put online? !

"Ah!!~~~~"

Heart-wrenching stabbing pains came from everywhere on his body. Tao Jinghe had veins popping out, his eyes widened, the pain was excruciating, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"Why does it hurt so much?! Didn't I adjust the pain coefficient to 10%? Turn it off, turn off the pain coefficient!"

Tao Jinghe's body twitched and he struggled to operate the game interface.

Something strange happened.

The game interface appears like a mosaic.

No matter how Tao Jinghe controlled it with his mind, the game interface did not respond.

Not only that, whenever the pain in the body increases due to torture, the game interface will become a bit blurry, and there is a feeling that it is about to fade out of sight.

"Why is the game interface unresponsive? What kind of broken game is this?! I want to complain!"

As the player's biggest reliance, the game interface is paralyzed at this moment.

The fear in Tao Jinghe's heart was infinitely magnified!

His pupils shrank violently, only the size of a pinprick, and his ears were filled with the words of the man in black robe:

"Say it! Say it! Who are you? Where do you come from? Who helped you occupy other people's bodies?"

"Say it!"

"Papa papa - sizzle -"

"Ahhhh——"

"Say it!"

"Say it--"

"I said...I...said..."

Tao Jinghe vigorously inflated his chest like a drowning person taking in air again.

His face was covered with sweat and his face was pale. He tried hard to take a breath and cried out in mourning:

"I said! I said it! I'm a player! I'm playing a immersive online game called "Star Sea"! Stop torturing me! I'm just a player! I don't know what you mean by occupying the body! I'm just entering It’s just a character created after the game! I don’t know what’s going on!”

The pain in his body suddenly disappeared.

Tao Jinghe shuddered, suddenly regained consciousness, and looked blankly at the two men in black robes standing not far away.

He lowered his head and glanced at his body.

There were no "torture chains" on him, and no one was slapping him.

The torture and slaps he suffered just now seemed to be hallucinations, illusions, as if they had never really happened at all.

"This, this, this...what's going on?"

Facing such a weird scene, Tao Jinghe's body trembled uncontrollably.

[The gaming helmet detected an error. 】

[Error code unknown. 】

[Sending an error report to the game server. 】

【…Failed to send! 】

[Players please take the initiative to contact the game official to replace the game helmet! 】

【…】

【correct. 】

【No error. 】

【No error. 】

[Everything is normal with the gaming helmet. 】

[Error record starts to be deleted. 】

A few seconds later.

The error message on the game interface was completely gone and disappeared without a trace.

A man in black robes standing in front of Tao Jinghe stepped forward, opened Tao Jinghe's mouth with tyrannical force, and stuffed a black insect with mosaic color patches inside.

The greasy black worm moved down Tao Jinghe's esophagus, and then burrowed upward into Tao Jinghe's head.

Tao Jinghe's body twitched, and he was horrified to see the same-shaped black bug appear on the game interface.

The bug was integrating with the game interface bit by bit, and eventually turned into an inconspicuous little black dot on the interface.

【congratulations! 】

[Task reward: Secret medicine needed for junior dark priest training. 】

[Mission punishment: High probability of being wiped out. 】

Erase, erase, erase? ? ! !

Tao Jinghe was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Why is there such a failure penalty? ?

But before he could ask, the man in black robe in front of him suddenly snapped his fingers.

Boundless sleepiness came over him, and Tao Jinghe closed his eyes subconsciously.

Not more than three to five seconds later, a bright light passed through his eyelids, waking him up.

"Quack quack quack——"

"Crash, lala, lala -"

Seagulls fly on the blue sea, and the foamy waves are one after another.

The sky is clear, the beach is quiet, and there are no people in black robes.

Tao Jinghe was completely dumbfounded.

He quickly clicked on the game interface, rubbed his eyes, and stared at the career information on the interface.

The words Junior Dark Priest suddenly appeared in the career box.

After searching carefully, the black spot transformed from a black insect was in the corner of the game interface.

"What the hell! What the hell! Is the plot of this game so real?"

Just as Tao Jinghe was about to click on the game forum to check the information about this hidden profession, a line of text prompts popped up on the game interface.

[You cannot reveal your hidden profession, otherwise...]

【Erase. 】

When the words "obliterate" came out, an unexplained chill hit him. Tao Jinghe felt his throat tighten and almost couldn't breathe.

It was as if there were hands tightly holding his neck in reality!

Tao Jinghe's face turned red. He hurriedly switched the touch sensor to "realistic mode" and pulled off the gaming helmet.

"Huchihuchi——"

Tao Jinghe's eyes were bloodshot and his breathing was heavy.

He took his phone, turned on the front camera, and looked at his neck.

A ferocious black mark is slowly disappearing.

Tao Jinghe was stunned for a while.

A full half minute passed before he unlocked the phone tremblingly. He wanted to call the game official and apply for a replacement game helmet, while also complaining harshly.

The black marks appeared again, like a hanging rope, lifting him up from the stool and towards the ceiling.

"hiss!"

Tao Jinghe couldn't breathe and could only kick his legs randomly in mid-air.

Just as the last breath of air was about to leave him, the game text appeared in front of his eyes.

[Last warning. Next time, erase it. 】

"Bang!" The black tears disappeared again, and Tao Jinghe fell heavily on the chair.

"Tick tock tick tock..."

The yellow-green liquid slipped from the stool, and Tao Jinghe's psychological defense was completely broken by this horrifying scene.

…

…

the other side.

A small moon near the planet Lysom-14.

Li Nuo's figure appeared silently on this desolate gray moon under the protection of the "veil of separation".

The natural satellite of every planet helps the planet block a lot of meteorites.

The satellite beneath my feet is no exception.

After Li Nuo landed, he flew into the air and saw the bumpy surface of the satellite, where countless meteorites had left their traces.

He raised his head and looked at the top of his head, where he saw the dark Leasom-14.

To be precise, the satellite under your feet is located above the backside of Lisom-14 at this time.

Li Nuo only needs to continue flying towards the dark area to officially set foot in the Demonic Snake's lair.

But this road is destined to be uneasy.

Li Nuo didn't need to cast any detection spells, he could find the devil snake wandering between the satellite and Lisom-14.

These cosmic monsters that can travel in space travel in groups, as if they are playing in a pond.

Thanks to the vacuum being unable to transmit sound, otherwise the vicinity of the planet Lisom-14 would have been filled with howling sounds like ghosts and wolves.

"If the man from the Dark God Sect is really the mastermind behind this demonic snake's lair, then how should I lead him out?"

Li Nuo couldn't help but fall into thinking.

Judging from the intuitive sight, he found no trace of the Dark God Descendants Cult.

Perhaps, you have to go deep into the dark demon snake's lair to gain something.

While Li Nuo was thinking, he aimed at the devil snake not far away and threw out several spell marks protected by the "veil of separation".

He planned to find out the movement patterns of these demonic snakes first, and then make inferences.

After about half an hour, a group of devil snakes with some special behavior patterns got Li Nuo's attention.

This team of demonic snakes has made two round trips between Lisom-14 and the satellite, and now it is their third time coming from Lisom-14 to the satellite.

Other devil snakes are not so frequent and persistent, so there must be something fishy hidden in them.

Li Nuo's heart moved slightly and he followed quietly.

The demon snake team moves very fast.

After arriving at the satellite, they flew around the satellite for a small half circle and then plunged into the soil below.

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows and had some guesses in his mind.

Two minutes later, the demon snake team emerged from the soil.

They did not fly in a straight line towards Lisom-14, but flew in the opposite direction around the satellite for a small half circle, and finally took off from the previous landing site, lifted off, and headed for Lisom-14.

It was obvious that this team of demonic snakes had an artificially determined course of action.

They have a special mission and are not ordinary devil snakes that are aimless and playful.

Li Nuo squinted and stared at the ground for a moment.

A plan that can not only ensure one's own safety but also find out what exists beneath the soil comes to mind.

Looking at the starry sky, there happen to be some relatively small meteorites approaching the satellite.

Li Nuo immediately accelerated his movement and rushed towards the meteorite.

On the way, he used the "veil of other worlds" to contain the energy of rock and earth, and released a drab beam of light, aiming at one of the meteorites that was about the size of a box truck.

After continuously injecting a large amount of geotechnical energy, Li Nuo successfully obtained part of the control over the meteorite.

Under the guidance of his thoughts, the meteorite slightly adjusted its direction and hit the soil where the demon snake had penetrated previously. (End of chapter)
