The Invincible Dad of Online Games

"Washington" is not a very rare surname, but because of the relationship of a certain president... even Chinese people will react to this foreign surname, Yang Rui announced this clue on the team channel, Dr. Liu and Goose immediately followed up Fifth Lin came to the same conclusion: "There are still six No.20 families in this town?"

"Wait..." Xianyun Wild Goose has the habit of taking screenshots and archiving at any time (same as Fifth Lin), immediately suspending the cliché with the hotel staff, and finding out the screenshots of the town overlooking the town from the mountainside after exiting the tunnel. "If it is a lumberyard that is so close to the town that ordinary people can use horse-drawn carts to load a large amount of wood, then there should be traces of life around this lumberyard..."

The panoramic view intercepted from the side is naturally not as intuitive as the topographic map observed from the top. After all, the surrounding of this town is not a plain, but surrounded by mountains on three sides and surrounded by water on the other, with the road in front and the forest in the back. Less visual blind spots; but if you have specific clues (knowing that there is a lumber yard near the town), it is not difficult to find clues from the screenshots. Soon, Xianyun Wild Goose found the looming forest in the southwest of the town. The shadowed portion of the perimeter of the trail appears to have very inconspicuous timber stockpiles.

Goose immediately drew a circle at this location and posted it on the team channel: "The factor of distance, I am not a hunter, and the sight distance is not enough, so I can't take a clear picture, but it can also be seen that there is no large-scale pile of timber concentrated At least from the pictures I captured from the angle we went down the mountain, I couldn’t find the so-called lumber yard, only this place can vaguely see the traces of wood stacking... This kind of low-productivity world gathers the felled trees to dry and wait for processing It is also impractical. The most likely thing is that the loggers will dry the cut wood on the spot, and then drag it to a specific location when needed. In this case, I think there should be such a possibility, the manager of this timber yard' Washington's family should not live alone outside the town, but in the town. For some reason, there is no front house in the town, and they do not do business with the outside world. They may not even have their own house and live with other families. Therefore, We missed it when we visited. There are two reasons why I have this idea. First, there are not many plains that meet living conditions in the terrain outside the town, and the places we can see are all reclaimed into fields. These fields are not enough to use, at least the rations of 50 or 25 people in this area cannot be met by self-cultivated land, and must be purchased from other places, so obviously there is no condition to reserve a large open space as a "lumber yard". Combining my screenshots with the houses actually visited by the three groups of people, it can be seen that in this town, there are indeed [-] independent houses including hotels and taverns, and there are no redundant houses of the same size as the townspeople. architecture."

Dr. Liu also said: "I also have the same opinion. The families in this town are basically three-generation families. If the Washington family has a large population, it is impossible for our three groups to visit without touching any of them. Conclusion It can only be that something has happened to this family, and the population is quite thin compared to other families in the town. There may only be two or three family members, which will be missed in our first visit... here The townspeople keep silent about the name of the town, and they don't mention to outsiders the mayor, the security team, and other power agencies or individuals that the town should have. It is intended to let those of us who enter the copy know the actual accounts and the real number of townspeople in this place, which means to hide the Washington family."

"In other words, this 'Washington' home is likely to be the breakthrough point for us to collect information." Xianyun Wild Goose continued, "The problem is... if this 'lumber yard' is not open to outsiders and only does business with locals, We outsiders have no excuse to inquire about it openly, and I can't guarantee whether we will bring any unknowable risks to inquire about this family suddenly... The feeling of this town is not what it seems on the surface It is calm, but it makes me feel a sense of crisis. Our skill bar, equipment and player pockets are not locked, which means that in this town, we may trigger a very risky battle scene due to a certain behavior of FLAG. "

Goose used the words "sense of crisis" and "extremely risky" consecutively...so that the great gods in the team channel were silent.It is true that the thirteen bigwigs in this team (including Kou Qiuqiu, who plays pure healing) all have the self-confidence of "I am the best in the world in force", but this kind of self-confidence is actually more used to cultivate In terms of fighting spirit... If you really want to let these big bosses face the deadly level, they are not stupid.

Besides... Xianyun Yege is a kind-hearted god who is very qualified and considerate of others. If someone is simple-minded and jumps out to "sacrifice himself", if he tries to dissuade him in order not to lose the team's combat effectiveness, even if others listen Persuasion will also hurt face, so he continued without waiting for others to speak out: "Let me repeat, the townspeople here do not seem to be dangerous, but in the background...the aborigines here are all similar to the real world. Christianity (including the three monotheistic religions) believers are still relatively devout (fanatic). If you look at it by this standard... In reality, since human beings have historical records, the massacre blood debts created by the monotheistic sect far exceed any organized crime group Including World War II war criminals... Since the system hints so clearly, it is very possible that a certain unattractive NPC will burst out with world boss-level combat power to play instant kills when there is a disagreement. After all... According to the difficulty level of the game, With the improved urine performance, the second level is weaker than the first level.”

"..." The masters continued to remain silent. The flat push at the end of the last level really gave the masters a lot of confidence, but the game is a game after all, and the unreasonable plot killing in the dungeon world is useless.

"I see. After all, we'd better follow the plot, right?" Brother Crucian Fish, who is the most muscular of the group, obediently added the standard closing sentence.

Once the tone is set, the direction of subsequent clue collection will be clear. Players can't mention the name "Washington" to NPCs, but it doesn't matter if they make insinuations... No matter how powerful the optical brain is, it is still an artificial intelligence after all, and it will trigger the keywords of FLAG. Be careful not to say it, and play tricks The system is still allowed ——For example, looking for that kind of NPC who is particularly talkative and touting a few words, and then accidentally bringing in a sentence like the wood in your house is good...

Two or ten minutes later, the three groups returned to the backyard of the hotel to meet again. This time, the wild geese did not stay in the lobby, which was not that big at all. Instead, they stood directly in the yard, which was not messy or dirty, and had the advantage of being spacious. inside.

"It's getting dark... It's only been 45 minutes since we entered the town. According to the position of the sun at that time, the time flow in this dungeon world is twice as fast as that in the main game world outside, which is about two hours. One cycle, that is, the night time is about half an hour." Goose didn't talk nonsense, and came up and said directly, anyway, everyone's gains were communicated with the team during the visit, saving the step of holding a report meeting, "Arrange out With such a fast passage of time, it seems that players are looking forward to having a nightlife in the dungeon world... What do you think?"

"Anything is fine, as long as there are some variables." Dr. Liu said very tiredly, "The townspeople here can't get enough of it, and no matter how they say it, it's as if their mouths are sewn shut. Even the shadows of the time when I was at the grassroots level have emerged..."

"It's also very strange. What kind of town would even taboo the name of the town, the mayor plays Shenyin, and all the townspeople have a unique tacit understanding to guard against outsiders?" Xian Ge also said, "It is said that this kind of game with such a high degree of simulation , it’s not a utopia of absolute equal wealth, and the governing body has nothing to do with it, so it’s most normal to have a few ‘suppressing rape’.”

"...You mean that you tried to bribe the locals with gold coins?" Xianyun Yege looked sideways.

"Uh... just to try." Xian Ge hurriedly said, "It doesn't work."

Xianyun Yege didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You say it's a game with such a high degree of simulation. If there is any common 'crime', which townsman would speak up for some benefit." He gestured, "This The people in the town are basically big families with several people. If one person collects money and runs away, the other family members will definitely be angered. With the artificial intelligence of the townspeople, they will not do such uneconomical business. And the population is small , We couldn't find the 'Washington House', which should be relatively easy to relocate."

"So... this town is the kind of story dungeon that seems to be easy, but is actually extremely difficult, right, we haven't even touched the edge of the breakthrough." Yang Rui stared at Dead Fish Eyes.

"Did the fifth brother say that?" Goose was greatly surprised, Yang Rui nodded and showed a somewhat reassuring and complicated expression, "Well...Although it's not kind to say that, but since the fifth brother also I was as stumped by this level as I was, but I felt more at ease. Then the next sentence of the fifth brother should be, wait for the plot to appear in front of us, right?"

"Uh... I saw you standing in the yard waiting for us to come back, so I thought you should have gone with Lao Wuxiang." Yang Rui said honestly.

Xian Yun Ye Goose sighed, "When you say that, I really feel like I've been friends with Wu Wulin for a long time, why don't we come out and line up "The Ring of Life and Death" together next time?"

"This... Lao Wu doesn't like playing random games very much." Yang Rui was embarrassed. In fact, Fifth Lin's original words were... Playing random copies, which are generated by random numbers, has no benefit in accumulating experience and expanding the data statistics library. It is to use the excess energy to play with the optical brain and the crazy game planner...

A few minutes passed between them chatting these few words, and the sun, which was already hanging on the mountain in the west, went down—as the largest light source in the sky disappeared, darkness enveloped the entire land.

"...Damn it, I really want to make trouble!" Yang Rui shouted out this sentence immediately, because... he couldn't see anything in his field of vision.

The main world of the game also has a day and night cycle, with a cycle of four hours. At night, most NPCs will reduce their activities, and the wild monster area will become lively. During the day, there will be sparse mobs all over the mountains, and some monsters that only appear at night will also Running around the world is a boon for monster-spawning players and an annoying time for task players; but the night in the game has little effect on players, because all players have night vision capabilities, and the place where the lights are dark can still be played. , even if the little light source in the previous level did not have an underground prison, players with blocked vision can still see the space within two meters around them.

And now... as soon as the sun sets in the dungeon world, everyone seems to be thrown into an ink bottle, and they can't see anything except the darkness, and they can't see their fingers properly.

"Absolute line-of-sight shielding?" The voice of Xianyun Wild Goose came from not far away, "The player interface can be opened normally, the external network can be linked, the forum can be opened, the friend list can be opened... that is the 'dark night' of this dungeon world Unique line-of-sight shielding effect."

Darkness itself is an amplifier that can amplify the fear in people's hearts. Even if it is only the absolute darkness in the game, more than half of the thirteen great gods have their heartbeats sped up a little... Everyone feels good after hearing the calm analysis of the goose It's a little bit, people who don't like to open the system interface when playing games usually open the interface. Although it is useless, it is always reassuring to see something in the field of vision.

The skills that my favorite knight brought into Ben this time are mainly defensive and semi-assist. After seeing it so secretly, I want to use Echo of Light... The skill is activated, and I can also feel the group recovery effect of Echo of Light. I couldn't see the light effect of the skill at all; Yang Rui was inspired and squeezed a light to pop up... The result was the same as above. After two seconds of silence, Yang Rui twitched his lips and said: "No wonder there are no lighting tools in this village, such as candles and lampstands. , Lamp oil and other things are all gone, and the feeling is that no lighting means can be used at night?"

"Huh?" Goose patted his head, "I overlooked this... But I really didn't see lighting tools in the guest room, how about you?"

Dr. Liu and Xiange thought for a while before replying: "It seems that... I didn't see it."

"Very good... This forces us to wait for the situation to change from the perspective of a bystander." Xianyun Yege was a little frustrated.

The level of "Rage"... is indeed a script with a leap in difficulty compared to the first level of "Arrogance". There is not much room for means and intelligence in this level. If you rush forward, you may kill FLAG instantly, and the only way to solve the problem... is to follow the rhythm of the dungeon step by step honestly, And...every step must keep up with the previous steps, and we must not "fall behind".

In the absolute darkness and tranquility, suddenly there was a tiny, subtle sound...

"Hey, hey, did you hear anything?" Xian Ge called nervously.

"Shh... everyone, please be quiet first." Goose made a silent gesture to remember that everyone couldn't see at the moment.

Xiange quieted down, the subtle sound became more and more obvious, and... the place where the sound came from seemed to be very near.

Xianyun Yege has a strong sense of space. It should be said that there is no one in this group of great gods who does not have a strong sense of space. This time, no one spoke. Kou Qiuqiu chose the touch screen handwriting method to enter a sentence in the team channel: "The voice seems to be From the living room behind us?"

"It should be, it seems that there are some relatively large...molluscs walking in the living room, not only the sound of rubbing the floor, but also the furniture." Xianyun Wild Goose said solemnly.

"More than one." Yang Rui added, "More than three vocal points."

"Uh..." Wanlisong Dongfeng was standing at a relatively marginal place because of the large number of people in the yard, and he hesitated at this moment, "Well, listen carefully, the sound is not only in the living room, but also in other places." There seems to be a room too, the room behind me, as far as I feel, there should be two things wandering in it that I don't know what it is."

"I'll go—doesn't this mean that we will be in big trouble if we are still in the house after dark?" Dr. Liu realized later.

"Ah!" Xiange screamed.

"Damn it, there are also in the yard?" Yang Rui said in surprise.

"No, no, Xiange scared you." Yaoge was embarrassed.

"..."

"Everyone try not to move or make noise, and communicate within the team." Xianyun Yege said, "Now I'm not sure if the sound will draw out the things in the room. In this situation where the line of sight is completely obscured, you will fight against each other. We are disadvantaged."

"...I also want to forcefully retreat, how do I fight this..." Qianmo Youdan said in pain.

"The length of the night should be three to 10 minutes. It is impossible for us to stand here for so long. It should... change soon." The goose comforted.

As soon as the words of the idle cloud and the wild goose fell... the thick black night was slowly fading away like diluted ink, and the darkness in front of my eyes gradually turned gray; as the night changed, the scenes in the night slowly appeared In front of everyone...

Messy, small courtyard with waste furniture and sundries scattered randomly, low connected one-story buildings... It is the courtyard where everyone stood before, but all the doors and windows of the houses within sight are locked Yes, including the living room where the door was supposed to be wide open before; through the windows of poor quality and low transparency, one can vaguely see... There are some kind of strange-shaped creatures wriggling in every room, the nearest living room, this one can't see The overall shape of the creature was even lying on the inside of the window and looking out. Two groups of red glowing things that looked like eyes were staring at the people in the yard.

"..." Xiange silently approached his good friend Yaoge, hanging on him without saying a word, Yaoge didn't have the nerve to kick him away in front of so many people...

"It should be...can't get out." Xianyun Wild Goose and the thing lying on the window of the living room looked at each other for a few seconds, then walked a few steps sideways and made a sound, then confirmed, "It seems that during this time of night 'Inside the house' is a restricted area, players had better not stay inside... I neglected to mention that there is no lighting equipment, fortunately the blind cat encountered a dead mouse."

"Is this the meaning of 'go out for a walk at night and you will be pleasantly surprised'?" Dr. Liu said.

"Well...you'll know when you go out and have a look." Xianyun Yege said.

There is a back door in the back yard, so you don't have to go to the front yard and risk walking half of the walkway in the building.Open the back door and go out, bypassing the dozens of connected houses of the hotel, everyone stood at the main entrance of the intersection entering the town... Immediately, they discovered the difference between the town and the daytime: the front of the two signboard industries facing each other, the tavern and the hotel, On the side of the road near the open space, there is a rectangular signboard with a row of words: "Welcome to Paradise Town."

"I said... Whenever the name of Paradise Town appears, it's either a horror movie or a zombie game with no minimum limit... No wonder the townspeople keep silent." .

Xianyun Yege said: "The name of the town is generously placed here for us to see, so the name of the town is not really a keyword?" Clap your hands, "Oh right... We have asked the NPC here many times about the name of the town. The NPC showed a secretive attitude, but no fatal flag was triggered, which means that the town name is not the key... but the town name. People with important relationships are the key.”

"You mean... the mayor of Shenyin?" Dr. Liu said, and he thought of something when he said this, "Hey, by the way, speaking of the old and new buildings in this town are very uniform. There are relatively new parts of the house that seem to be part of the expansion, that is to say... the main buildings in the town were built in the same period of time, and look at the self-repair road in front of the town and this flat land ...Could it be possible that this town was planned and built by a group of people after they moved here?"

"Well, in this case, the 'Mayor', as the first-generation leader, undoubtedly has quite high prestige and voice... Judging from the fact that the proportion of young and middle-aged people in the town is the largest, the history of this town should also be compared. Young, maybe it was established within 30 or [-] years." Xianyun Yege said, "Then in this timeline we entered, the first generation of 'towns' should still be alive... Maybe they are still mayors, then It makes sense for him to become a 'power' that is indistinctly opposed to all the townspeople with his own power."

"But since even the signboard of the town's name was demolished by the townspeople, it means that the mayor lost in the struggle." I said willingly.

"..." Everyone was silent, and after a few seconds, Doctor Liu said with a strange expression, "That is to say... I forgot to dig the well when I drank the water? Hmm... When I contacted such a group of townspeople who believe in magic sticks, I actually felt that this kind of development Nothing surprising..."

"Let's go and have a look first." Xianyun Yege nodded.

Everyone's skills are in the unlocked state, and I am still the most resistant, and I am willing to lead, and Brother Crucian is in the back, and I walked two steps... The main door of the hotel where everyone stayed during the day opened, and a simple-dressed, young, and gray-haired man walked out. , but still a very capable old man, this old man gives people the feeling of an old revolution from the black and white photos of the 60s (in reality) on the whole, he is very energetic and full of vitality, especially his eyes, the slightest I can't see the turbidity of an old man of this age, but it is shining like a young man in his prime.

"We have guests." Seeing that the crowd was not surprised at all, the old man laughed heartily, then slapped his chin vigorously, and shouted backwards, "Boys, we have guests coming!"

The great gods looked at each other, and looked nervously at the half-opened front door... If a few "unique" creatures wandered inside and invited everyone to "be a guest" inside, it would be a lot of fun...
