Shura Field Player

"It's a different world. Anyway, it's a completely dilapidated world different from the real world we live in. According to other players' speculation, this world is likely to be a dead world that has been destroyed by ghost stories and ghosts. Who knows what the original real name of this world is? No one cares about it."

Astolfo shrugged indifferently.

"Okay, do you have any questions?"

"Yes, what does the sanity value attribute represent? What is your sanity value?"

Putting the card away, Bai Zhi nodded.

"Sanity? Hey..."

As if it was no surprise that Bai Zhi would ask this question, Astolfo smiled strangely.

"My guest, this level of information can't be obtained with just 50 game coins..."

Sitting up straight, Astolfo spoke solemnly.

"You have to pay more."

Chapter 43 Tears made 50

"How much do you want to add?"

After thinking for a while, Bai Zhi asked the intelligence dealer in front of him.

"For this information, at least 500 game coins are required."

Stretching out a hand, Astolph spoke gravely.

——Bai Zhi stood up without hesitation, turned around and left.

"Stop, stop, don't you guys know what it means to ask for a price and pay back the money when you land? No matter how you say it, you have to pay back the price, right?"

Seeing that a client he had waited for today was about to leave, Astolfo shouted hastily.

"If 500 points is not enough, you can ask for a price, and we can discuss it!!"

"1 game currency."

Stopping in his tracks, Bai Zhi turned his head, and stretched out a finger in front of him very seriously.

"........."

It seemed that after going through a series of quite complicated psychological struggles, Astolfo nodded rather reluctantly.

"...Okay! Just a little bit, we met because of fate, just treat me as Ah Fu and make you my friend."

"Oh, let's talk, sanity value."

Nodding his head, Bai Zhi sat down in front of the booth again, and incidentally handed back the card that the other party handed him.

"Here, this card is worth a little game currency, we'll settle it."

"........."

Although the players here couldn't see all the faces clearly, but Bai Zhi still felt that the other party was staring at him with rather speechless eyes.

"...The meaning of the so-called sanity value, you will be clear after your level reaches level ten. Your sanity value attribute is probably around 10 to 13 points now?"

After taking the card and sighing in his mouth, Astolfo spoke.

"Thinking about it, you should have noticed that the sanity value attribute is unusual. Unlike the other six attributes, the sanity value will automatically increase as the player's level rises. The real use of the sanity value is to allow you to contact those When looking at strange and indescribable things, he can keep himself from falling into the madness of Hestia."

"........."

Bai Zhi silently glanced at his sanity value marked as "???", and didn't choose to speak.

"Our world is like a castle made of sand on the beach, and on the sea, the tide is coming in waves to swallow the castle to death, and we players are the pioneers in strengthening the castle to resist the tide."

Astolfo had a solemn expression on his face.

"Those truly dangerous and terrifying existences are gradually emerging, and a raging tsunami is brewing in the deep sea. Our world is gradually falling into a terrifying crisis."

"Weird or indescribable things that can cause mental pollution have appeared in the world?"

Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows.

"Uh... not yet."

Astolfo shook his head decisively.

"But according to Chu Ci's speculation, because of the existence of sanity value, an attribute without any introduction, this kind of thing will appear sooner or later in the future."

"Who is Chu Ci?"

Bai Zhi remembered the maker marked on the previous card.

"An official player with a military background in the relevant departments of the official organization. It is said that he has a double doctorate in physics and mathematics. He is a veritable boss. He is one of the players who have survived to open the server. The relevant departments were organized and built by him."

Astolfo answered quite straightforwardly.

"How? You can get such a lot of valuable information with 50 game coins, so I'll ask you if it's worth it!?"

"Generally, people who say such things have actually earned me 49 with tears in their hearts."

With a curl of his lips, Bai Zhi, who had already obtained the information he wanted, stood up from the front of the booth.

"By the way, do you know that [Shadow Crystal] exists?"

"Shadow Crystal?"

After recalling the term in his heart, Astolfo shook his head.

"do not know."

"See you then."

Nodding to the other party, Bai Zhi turned around and walked towards the exit of the square. When he saw the direction in which he was leaving, a certain informant quickly chose to leave the square and return to the real world. .

The area of ​​this trading square spontaneously formed by the players is still very large. If you look down from the top, it is a rather huge circular square that is perfectly divided into four evenly fan-shaped squares. Each area is separated by a high wall. It is divided into four regions: southeast, northwest and north.

And the area where Bai Zhi is located is the area on the east side.

When he walked to the only exit on the Eastern side, and was about to leave the square to go to the town outside the square to have a look, a certain player guarding the entrance and exit who seemed to be maintaining order looked him up and down. After that, a brochure and a card were handed over to him.

"This is a novice guide customized and published by us. If you lose it, you can come here to get it again. Idle players are welcome to join the relevant departments."

"........."

Looking at the rather familiar card that was handed over along with the booklet, after a moment of speechless silence, Bai Zhi took the booklet and the card together.

[This is a lost and lost world, players had better not go outside the confines of the town...]

【...This plaza is a welfare plaza prepared for the majority of players jointly developed by various official organizations. Any possible harm is prohibited in the plaza...】

[Special reminder: Recently, there has been a strange and strange natural phenomenon. We call it "door". The colors of "door" are various, and they appear in any corner of the world from time to time. "Besides, there is currently no experience of coming back alive from other colors of "doors", please be careful. 】

【...According to our speculation, the role of sanity points...】

[...Our world is like a castle made of sand on the beach, and on the sea...our world is gradually falling into a terrible crisis. In order to protect our world, players are welcome to join the relevant departments among! ! 】

【—Chu Ci】

... A line of very familiar words, so familiar that he had heard it from an intelligence dealer a few minutes ago, almost word for word.

"...Because this is a gathering place for players above level LV 10, so most of the information is released here for free, just to recruit players? Chu Ci... Is it because Mao is not Chu Xuan?"

After staring at the name marked at the end of the booklet for a moment, Bai Zhi turned his head towards the square behind him. As he expected, the profiteer who had set up a stall there had long since disappeared. trace.

"Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with business. I thought he earned me 49 with tears, but it turned out that he clearly earned 50 with tears... I remember you."

Casually putting the booklet and the card in his hand back into the backpack, Bai Zhi walked out of the square.

"As the saying goes, the kindness of dripping water must be repaid by a spring. If you don't get 5000 game coins back from you, my surname will not be Bai..."

Chapter 44 Ex-Girlfriend

It's a run-down town.

The dilapidated buildings in the small town vaguely looked like the Western style of Europe in the early Middle Ages. The icy wind came from the wilderness and passed through the town, bringing silent wailing.

——Strictly speaking, this is a place that has been completely "dead".

Bai Zhi did not venture across the two dangerous streets to the auction house. Instead, after walking out of the square, he chose to enter a dilapidated house and took the "Nation of Shadows Permanent Land Deed" come out.

Other players can only stay in this world for an hour at most every day, but he is an exception. He can stay here forever with a pass in theory.

"Sure enough, this town is my territory..."

As Bai Zhi took out the "Land of Shadows Permanent Land Deed", he felt that there was a vague connection between himself and the land under his feet, but this connection seemed rather weak and not special. If he paid more attention to this aspect, he would not even be aware of this connection.

After closing his eyes and sensing for a while, Bai Zhi raised his feet and walked towards the wall beside him. Wisps of black mist diffused from the land deed in his hand, enveloping him in an instant. covered his whole body.

When Bai Zhi opened his eyes, he found that he had come to a very familiar place, the dim light above his head flickered on and off, and a place a little further away was plunged into dead darkness.

——This is the dark corridor with flickering lights that he once visited.

Looking around thoughtfully, Bai Zhi lowered his head and glanced at the land deed in his hand.As expected, the last remaining [Shadow Crystal] was exhausted with the teleportation just now.

Walking along this promenade, after turning three corners in succession, Bai Zhi came to a hut similar to a lounge. In this hut, fifteen dolls were neatly arranged on the ground. .

Ignoring the puppets on the ground for the time being, Bai Zhi walked to the only intact table in the rest room with a slightly strange expression.

Probably because the land of shadows permanent land deed made him the territory here, so he could recognize the unknown words on the old leaflets scattered on the table.

"... a haunted house?"

In some large playgrounds, there are often entertainment buildings like this haunted house, but Bai Zhi has never seen such a thing in this so-called different world.

"...So I just ran out from the entrance of the haunted house back then? As expected of me."

Returning to the side of the 15 dolls on the ground with a slightly weird expression, Bai Zhi packed all of these lifelike dolls into his backpack, regardless of the little boy who caught these 15 people in this haunted house to become What the adult puppet wants to do, but it has nothing to do with him.

"Perhaps it is also possible that they want to turn them into their own people... It's a pity that we can't stay here for too long."
