Hyperreal board game

If you look down from a very high altitude, you can see that this is an unusually huge funnel-shaped terrain.The radius is more than ten kilometers, so the angle of inclination is so small that it is impossible to detect it on foot.

At the bottom of the funnel is a ring-shaped magma lake. The surface of the [-]-meter-wide lake is rippling with blazing flames and dazzling red light.

An Ge tracked it all the way, and the traces of people walking disappeared here. He checked around the lake and found no sign of anyone leaving.

He couldn't help staring at the magma boiling over the lake, which looked like Chongqing spicy hot pot.

With Yue Zimo's strengthened physique, maybe it's okay to just jump into it... right?

He guessed this in his heart full of hesitation.

In order to figure out the current situation, he activated the artifact and got busy.

First of all, switch character cards to ranger and thief in turn, and check for more clues around you through different professional specializations.After switching to a thief, he successfully discovered a hidden door in a place by the lake where four or five boulders taller than a person were stacked.

Then switch between thieves and mages in turn, detect traps, detect magic, dispel magic, dispel traps, unlock the door, carefully push the door open, and at the same time dodge a few iron arrows that shot out from the door.

Then he switched to a mage and threw an illumination spell on something looming through the door.Then switch back to the thieves, carefully explore the way forward, and move forward while searching for traps.

Although the process is a bit cumbersome, it is not difficult, because he consulted and discussed with several seniors a few days ago, and made a character card with the most ideal attribute distribution for all optional occupations, scanned it into a PDF and saved it in the phone, as long as he used The functions of the DMG artifact can be called on demand.

The light ball of the lighting technique is attached to a raised rock corner inside the door. Under the white light, there is a cave passage leading to the slope below the door. It is more than three meters high and wide enough for men of Ange's size to stand five shoulder to shoulder. six.

The rock wall is pitted, and there are obvious lines formed by the condensation of magma. It seems that the formation of this passage is due to magic.

However, it should have been abandoned for a long time. There are thick dark red moss growing on the rock wall, which can be used as tinder when dried.

An Ge found several groups of shallow footprints on the ground, which were left for a short time and matched in size. They should have been left by Yue Zimo, with the toes pointing towards the depths of the cave.

But An Ge didn't rush to follow, instead retreated.

He switched occupations such as bard and warlord one after another, using the skills of different occupations to obtain as much information as possible.

Finally, I got a little clue from the bard's anecdotal knowledge skill——

When the crystal wall of the plane is rarely loosened, the demon lords in the abyss will be ready to move, trying to break through the confinement, and go to the main material plane to do something.

They exploit the internal channels of volcanic eruptions, in other words, the channels through which magma rushes from the core to the surface.The magma lake exposed to the ground is called the mouth of the abyss.

Although it is filled with high-temperature lava that can burn mortal creatures in an instant, it is just warm water to demons. After all, even devil rabbits can jump into it to take a bath.

An Ge recalled inopportunely that the devil rabbit who used magma as bath water was actually set on fire by Yue Zimo Li and asked him to save his life. The power of that devil was beyond his expectation.

Closer to home, because only demons can walk in the volcanic passage, and demons need many human spokespersons, so only after the passage is opened, another secret passage can be constructed that ordinary people can walk normally.

Obviously, it was the place An Ge discovered.

"To the abyss..."

An Ge murmured and closed the book, suddenly flinching a little.

The so-called "abyss" in the DND rules is not a topographical word, but a special term, also known as "the abyss of infinite layers".

Each layer in the abyss is ruled by a demon lord. Starting from the top layer, the lower the layer, the stronger the ruling demon. Correspondingly, those who want to escape from the abyss and enter the main material plane—or enter the human world The border is more difficult.

Like a millefeuille.

The filling between the pie crusts is composed of poisonous, strong acid, dark energy and countless purgatory creatures.

Occasionally, travelers enter it, and the final end is either lost to death, or killed by demons.

So, even though the reasons are very good: first, the system prompts that this is the entrance to the library; second, his Samoyed is lost, so it is impossible not to look for it.

But An Ge was unavoidably cowardly.

He sat on a stone ten meters away from the magma lake, resting his arms on his bent knees, staring blankly at the thick, blood-like stone liquid for a while.

The mobile phone showed that communication outside the area was not possible, so he couldn't get in touch with people outside, and Yi Zai, who was able to get in touch, didn't reply to him at all.

Really tired.

However, going on like this is not an option.

An Ge dawdled for a while, then got up, patted his pants and set off.

During this period of time, he has been completely changed. He is obviously just an introverted and weak nerd. He doesn't even like to compete and deal with others, so he chose a major that only needs to play with literature and data 90% of the time.

But now he has become a boss who has to talk to "people"—or intelligent creatures, not only talking, but also often doing hands.

It was full of competition and excitement, which made him feel tired every 3 minutes on average.

Although he refused in his heart, he still walked towards the cave, switched to the thief profession and sneaked in.

The lighting technique at the entrance of the cave is still in effect, and the stone cave is quiet and quiet. If you don't count the black bugs that occasionally run across the ground, there are no traces of creatures at all.

An Ge walked all the way, but he didn't meet anything, and his nerves were tense for a long time in vain.

He lost his sense of time in the cave. Even though there was no fork, it was extremely long. It took at least half a day before he finally walked out of the cave.

When he walked out of the dark corridor, it was like a momentary time-space switch, and An Ge returned to reality from the world full of fantasy Middle-earth style.

At least for the first minute or two, he thought he had returned to reality.He was standing in a crowded, shoulder-to-shoulder square, and there were all kinds of gourmet shops around the edge of the square.

The square is surrounded by high-rise buildings, and there are hundreds of passages leading to different directions. An Ge noticed that there is an LCD screen hanging at the entrance of each passage, with strange symbols flashing and constantly changing.

He stared at a display screen for a while, and found that the familiar Arabic numerals jumped out of it: 3766—then he suddenly realized: those strange symbols were written by different civilizations.

Then he gradually woke up from this trance that was too close to reality, and then he observed his surroundings more calmly.

The place he came out of was a dark alley, and when he turned back, the cave was no longer visible, and at the end was the side wall of a building.

Directly across from him looking up, there was a white skeleton of a giant dragon floating in the air in the center of the square. Bai Sensen's claws were holding a giant LCD screen assembled from three sides facing outwards, with strange symbols changing on it from time to time.

An Ge waited patiently for a while, and finally jumped to the words he recognized:

Station of Pin of Infinite Portals

Traveler's Plains Station

Note: This station is a transfer station

There is also a line of small characters written at the bottom: This station provides free query service for subway line maps.

He was a little dazed, looking at the crowd coming and going around him.Office workers in suits and bags, travelers with suitcases, trendy men in T-shirts with fox masks, young ladies in lo skirts or Hanfu, young housewives or aunts with children, and old-fashioned gray shirts An old man walking silently with his hands behind his back...

Either they were in a hurry, or they were indifferent, or they were leisurely. Occasionally, some "people" glanced at An Ge, but they didn't show any curiosity or interest in him.

An Ge accidentally mistakenly thought that he was actually standing in the subway station of People's Square.

After recovering from this misplaced thinking, An Ge switched to the mage profession with practice and skill, activated the mysterious knowledge skill, and got feedback immediately.

[PinofInfinitePortals: The topmost layer of the abyss.Because it is too close to the main material plane, it is barren and barren. Even the poisonous gas doesn't bother to stay for a while, and no abyss lord is interested in occupying it. It is an ownerless and worthless place.There are multiple teleportation points to other layers. 】

However, judging from the current situation, this place is obviously not a place abandoned by all the demons, but an important transportation hub.

After this piece of information, a system prompt popped up.

【Congratulations!After the player Clay switches character cards several times like a frightened little hamster, the artifact DMG has analyzed all related character cards.The joint skill "My Room Max LV0" has been successfully upgraded to "My Room Max LV1". In the future, players can freely call other professional skills when fixing character cards, and automatically get the maximum character card bonus of this skill. 】

An Ge: =-= Who is the frightened little hamster!

This function means that he doesn't have to bother switching character cards in the future, which is very troublesome.But I always feel that the system was annoyed by him changing it, and it was upgraded on purpose.

It can be seen that it is indeed a very chicken thief system.

But having said that... An Ge looked around in a daze after checking the information. This is really a super~~huge subway transfer station.

According to common sense, those numbered signs and arrows point to a certain subway line, that is to say, there are subway lines with up to four digits, which is impossible in reality.

In any case, Yue Zimo probably arrived at this station first, and then... I don't know which line of subway he took, and went to... the abyss where the devil is.

So now the question is: which line is it?

An Ge reluctantly flipped through the mission prompts, but now there are only such unhelpful nonsense as: [Two missing one: Find the route to the library].

He looked around again, trying to find a breakthrough point, and then his eyes lit up.

Just to his left, where a bubble tea shop used to be against the wall, stood a row of little yellow monsters that looked like Pikachu, with a clear, crystal-like membrane between their pointy ears.

More than two-thirds of the film stood in front of a person, or a humanoid creature, and their fingers tapped and swiped on the film, as if they were manipulating the touch screen to query something.

This is the route map that can be consulted for free.

He observed it calmly, and after guessing that he had also learned the basic operation method, he walked up to a little monster with no one standing in front of it, and put his hand on the film.

The thin film touched by the hand was cold and smooth, like glass, immediately emitted a white light upon touching, and then a messy, indescribable image emerged.

It's like the colorful noodles of different colors are roughly grabbed into a ball, suspended in the void, without a beginning or an end, and it is completely impossible to start at first glance.

An Ge noticed that there was an explanation next to the noodles, so he wanted to take a closer look. The little monster that was obediently serving as an inquiry machine suddenly moved, and its two small claws grabbed An Ge's right hand.
