Between life and death [unlimited]

After Si Yufeng paid the money, Zhang Jian finally assumed the responsibility of "guide". He led his old horse and led the two of them to a magnificent palace building on a small path.

This is a palace made up of pure white stone pillars, and beside the gate stands a white stone tablet as tall as a person, on which is written the Chinese characters of "Game Mission Office" in dignified and majestic block letters.

"Have you seen that stele? It is a high-tech product beyond the existing human civilization," Zhang Jian said: "Because our mother tongue is Chinese, the characters we see on the stele are Chinese. If you are from M country, What you see is English."

Jiang Lai recalled the fluent M country English of the character he played in the last special mission.

Zhang Jian tied the horse to a pillar not far from the door, and he led Si Yufeng and Jiang Lie towards the majestic palace, explaining as he walked: "Every player in the game world You need to perform a hard task at least once a month, and this task is random; if you usually want to exercise your ability, you can also come here to exchange gold coins for tasks to complete, the price is about 1000 gold coins for a D-level task. You can exchange them in these service windows .”

The three of them walked into the hall of the hall at this time. Although it was almost evening, there was an endless stream of players in the hall, and the light in the hall was particularly good, as if it were daytime.

Facing the gate of the mission office is a row of long office windows, the decoration style is the same as the office halls of various countries, and it is separated from the outside world by a wall of transparent glass. There are many office workers sitting in the office windows with formulaic smiles on their faces. personnel.

Zhang Jian said whatever came to his mind, and he continued to speak freely: "There are five levels of difficulty in missions: S, A, B, C, and D. There are also special missions and novice missions. The more difficult the mission, the more difficult it is to participate The more players there are, the richer the rewards after completion."

Having said that, he paused, "However, I don't recommend you to challenge high-difficulty tasks from the beginning. When you are a rookie, entering A-level tasks is basically to give away people's heads."

"The hard tasks that must be done every month are collected there." Zhang Jian pointed to the right side of the hall and said.

It was a huge bright sphere surrounded by a red isolation band, with a diameter about the thickness of dozens of people hugging each other. A soft, bright but not dazzling white light surrounded the sphere at all times. These white lights seemed to be tens of thousands of Small fish swimming in the water, always swimming freely a few centimeters from the surface of the giant sphere.

Most of the daytime light in the game mission center comes from this huge sphere of light.

Zhang Jian said: "This is a medium for receiving monthly hard tasks. Players also call it 'Chu Shen'. Just stand outside those isolation zones and think about performing hard tasks, and it will automatically assign you Go in a random game world."

"Oh, by the way, you can form a team when performing tasks. Just like online games played in the real world, there are up to six people in a team. If you want to form a team, you need to go to the service window over there to sign the contract first." If you want to leave this team in the future, you can unilaterally come here to cancel the contract."

He made a joke that wasn't very funny: "It's much easier than getting married or getting divorced. The team contract only costs 1 gold coin, and you can't lose money if you buy it, and you can't be fooled if you buy it. Do you want to try it?"

Zhang Jian's eyes flicked back and forth between Jiang Lu and Si Yufeng.

Si Yufeng recalled the words that Jiang Xun refused in the special mission before, and just wanted to answer: "No..."

Before Si Yufeng finished speaking, Jiang Li, who was standing beside him, seemed to have a tacit understanding, and said at the same time as him: "Okay."

After saying this word, Jiang Xun didn't explain much. He pointed in the direction of the office window that Zhang Jian pointed to before, and asked Si Yufeng: "Together?"

Si Yufeng, who was interrupted, looked at Jiang Xun in surprise. He didn't expect Jiang Xun to agree to this idea.

Hearing Jiang Lai's request, he nodded and smiled as always, without asking why Jiang Lai just replied: "Okay."

Jiang Lai suddenly agreed to form a team with Si Yufeng this time, mainly because of the influence of the last special mission.

Both seem to have completed the task in the end, but the methods used by the two are completely different.Jiang Xun solved the problem purely by violence, without any skills; while Si Yufeng used powerful reasoning logic to thoroughly analyze the problem and task requirements, and finally found a solution.

Jiang Xun doesn't know what kind of restrictions he will encounter in the next mission. If the system continues to weaken some of his attributes, so that he really can't use his strength, it may indirectly affect his mission. Fail, and eventually die in the game world.

So after weighing things up, Jiang Xun made the choice that was most beneficial to the current situation based on his own weakness.

Fortunately, there was no queue at the window for team formation, so Jiang Shang and Si Yufeng signed the team formation contract smoothly.

I just heard the staff in the window ask with a formulaic smile: "Both of you formed a team voluntarily, and no one was coerced, right?"

Jiang Lai nodded expressionlessly.And Si Yufeng replied with a smile: "Yes."

Although the staff saw the two people with huge differences in expressions, they had long been familiar with this phenomenon. They handed them the contract from the window and said, "The two of you can just sign your names at the bottom. In the future, if If you want to cancel the contract, both of you must come to the window to handle it.”

For Jiang Xun, who hadn't read a book for a few days, the name he signed out looked unexpectedly beautiful and elegant.

Seeing such beautiful handwriting, Si Yufeng wrote neatly and meticulously. He wrote his name neatly under Jiang Xun's name, and then handed it back to the staff.

The staff blessed again routinely: "Congratulations to the two of you for becoming teammates! I wish you all a good time in the game and have a good time!"

Jiang Xun always felt that this sentence was weird...

After the two completed the team formation, they bid farewell to their responsible "leader".

Si Yufeng expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart: "Senior, thank you very much this time."

Jiang Lai also felt that Zhang Jian was indeed a good person.

Although this person may seem a bit sloppy and unreliable at first glance, but after getting along with him, you will find that this person is quite considerate, and basically told them everything that needs to be said.

To say that Zhang Jian feels to him more like those ancient chivalrous knights who walk around the world with swords, and occasionally there are some unexpected "little tenderness", and he is also a person who makes people feel very comfortable getting along with him.

Hearing Si Yufeng's words, Zhang Jian waved his hands again and again: "Don't be so sensational, it's not like I won't see you in the future... What you said made me goosebumps!"

He looked at Jiang Lai and said with some caution: "Since you are all teammates, you have to perform your duties as teammates."

Jiang Lai nodded with rare cooperation and agreed.

Zhang Jian glanced at Si Yufeng again, and after thinking for a long time, he really didn't know what to say to him, so he had no choice but to say: "As for you...you can have some snacks!"

Si Yufeng held back the smile on the corner of his mouth, and replied, "Okay."

After leaving Zhang Jian, Jiang Li and Si Yufeng stood not far from the huge bright sphere. They looked at each other, and then at the same time, they closed their eyes tacitly together.

Jiang Xun heard the cold and familiar electronic synthesis sound in his ears again——

[Congratulations to player Jiang Shui for triggering the hard task: ghost relatives]

[Mission Background: The young lady of Qian Yuan's family suddenly fell ill and died suddenly. The Qian family found a family of ghost relatives from Master Zhang in Huangcoffin Village, but Master Zhang was ill and could not come in person, so he sent several apprentices (player) role) came to help Qian Yuanwai solve difficult problems...]

[Task content: Help Qian Yanruo, the eldest daughter of the Qian family, complete the ghost marriage ceremony. 】

[Mission duration: five days. 】

[I wish the players have fun in the game and have a good time! 】

……

"It's dry, be careful with candles..."

The watchman's voice became farther and farther away, and in the dark night, this abrupt sound seemed particularly ethereal.

"One watch at a time..."

Jiang Lai, who was lying on the ground, suddenly moved his fingers.

In the next second, he turned his body over, with his abdomen facing the ground, and quickly raised his upper body, adopting a defensive posture of squatting on the ground.

Looking around cautiously, Jiang Lai found that he was in an empty room.

The conditions in this room can be regarded as very simple.The house is surrounded by earth walls made of loess. In the center of the cracked ground there is a lame Eight Immortals table and two small wooden cabinets placed on the kang next to it. The few two pieces of furniture in the house are all clearly defined. stood before his eyes.

The leaky paper window was still blowing yellow sand in from time to time, and the whole room showed a dilapidated atmosphere.

Seeing the New Year pictures of the Five Grains and Harvest on the wall, Jiang Lai thought to himself: Northwest China?

After searching around the house, there was no trace of other people. It seems that Si Yufeng was not teleported with him.

His eyes accidentally skipped over the mirror hanging on the wooden cabinet. Although he had already experienced the evil taste of this game system, Jiang Xun still felt a little speechless and looked at the game character costume on himself.

Dressed in a matching floral padded jacket and trousers, coupled with his sallow complexion, Jiang Li now looks like a man born and bred in northern Shaanxi.

Fortunately, he is a person who doesn't care much about his appearance, and he has experienced the special mission last time, so he didn't get too entangled. He planned to go out to find Si Yufeng's trace.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the door, before the dilapidated wooden door had time to open, the warning sound of the system immediately sounded in Jiang Xun's ears.

【warn!During the protection period, players are not allowed to walk around at will! 】

[The countdown to the official start of the game is 15 seconds.After the game starts, the protective light beam disappears. 】

At this time, Jiang Lai noticed that there was indeed a faint white light in the middle of the wooden door.

15 seconds passed quickly, just a few breaths, and the countdown ended in an instant.

The white light at the door disappeared immediately, and the previously empty room was now full of people.

Jiang Lai glanced around at the other players who appeared out of thin air. There were about ten players, and the age and gender of this group spanned all levels.

It can be said that there are men and women, old and young.

To say that these players have one thing in common, that is, all of them are wearing cotton jackets and trousers, and everyone looks yellow and thin.

They are all the same as him, with a dress that is so rustic that it cannot be more rustic.
