Chapter 1209: Drowning, strangling(1/2)
Ji Li walked all the way in. Although he did not lift the curtain directly like Gao Mingjie, he was also listening to the game sounds and the performance of players in each compartment one by one.
The reason why I came here with a clear goal after coming here is because Cheng Ming mentioned this game with him - "Kill the Demon".
A few years ago, Cheng Ming played this game when he came here to travel.
Simply put, "Kill the Devil" is a level-breaking game.
In front and behind a table, there were electronic demons and gamers. The props for players to pass the level were a toy shotgun.
In each level, the player will face different demons and use its performance to find its weaknesses, thereby purchasing bullets with corresponding attributes, killing them to lead to the next level, and so on.
Players who refresh existing records, or players who pass the level directly, will receive the final reward for this game.
According to Cheng Ming, he only beat four demons for the first time he played.
Even for one night, he finally stopped at the sixth level, and the highest record holder only reached the eighth level.
The reason why the game is so difficult is that in addition to the later levels and the more difficult it is to find the weaknesses of demons, there is also a problem of buying bullets.
At the beginning of each level, the system will automatically give 1 gold coin in the game, and the reward for killing the demon is 2.
This is a fixed gold coin income for players, but the bullets that need to be purchased have different prices, and some even require four gold coins.
Therefore, one of the difficulties of this game is that it is necessary to reasonably operate the stock of gold coins. Waste of gold coins in one level may lead to failure in subsequent levels.
Gao Mingjie was shocked to see it. He heard many ghost calls from the electronic screen, and also heard insults or roars from the players.
But he knew very well that if he had access to this game, it would definitely not be as simple as a game.
Demons are true demons, and death is true death.
"Shop...Shopkeeper, do we all want to play this game?"
He couldn't help it anymore, and finally had to ask this question.
But obviously Gao Mingjie's concerns were completely unnecessary. Ji Li seemed to have almost observed them, so he opened an empty room and entered it and sat at the table.
"Just stand by me and watch, I will call you if I need it."
This game is almost complete with brain power calculations, which is a natural choice for the clerk.
Ji Li will not waste Hongfu's luck, nor will Gao Mingjie waste gold coins. He will do it himself.
As for why I rushed here so eagerly, there is another reason.
"Hongfu, is it enough for you to give thirty gold coins?"
Before the game started, Ji Li found thirty gold coins from the golden bag, handed them to Hong Fu and asked.
Hong Fu grinned and immediately made a promise and said confidently:
"It's called an indoor game area, but it's actually no different from the game hall I played when I was a kid.
Along the way, I have already scanned several old games I was familiar with, and they are all good ways to make money."
Hong Fu, who is so happy that he can only come here as a fish in water. The seventh branch ranks second in total commission, second only to the first branch.
But this advantage is fleeting, Ji Li can imagine that once the branches that go to outdoor projects and large projects win, they will definitely get more rewards.
Therefore, Hongfu's luck must be discounted as soon as possible.
If it's a little later, I'm afraid that some people will be targeted here.
Ji Li secretly complained in his heart: "Indoor game area, a discounted place with huge loopholes, time must be fast."
Hong Fu left and the game began.
...
In the compartment, it was pitch black and I couldn't see my five fingers.
Two breathing sounds, like a pair of hunters searching in the dark, trying to capture the demon's weakness in the vastness of the vastness.
But from when, it seemed that there was an aura that shouldn't exist in the darkness.
The smell was cold and humid, which made a lot of moisture appear in the dry environment, causing a drop of water to appear on the two breathless faces.
Sudden!
Someone's mouth and nose were pressed tightly by a pair of wet and sticky palms, which curbed breathing and accelerated the beating of his heart.
This extremely depressing environment and visual suppression scene have greatly reduced the effect on this person because his heart is not his heart.
On the contrary, he used the skin on his face to invert the sensing of the two hands, which were extremely smooth, as if he had been soaked in water for a long time...
"Sizi!"
Half a minute of darkness was about torture another person in the room to a mental breakdown, but the electronic screen in front began to make particularly harsh noises.
This is a sign that the game will officially start.
"Swish!"
The screen is completely lit up, with four pale words on it - "Kill the Devil", and the red marked in the upper right corner: "First Level".
At the same time, the man whose mouth and nose were blocked felt that something very rough on his face was scratched and stinged slightly.
The light source comes from the front.
A swollen and mutated head stared at the swelling and pale face, appeared in the center of the screen, staring at the person in front of him with a pair of bloodshot and raised eyes.
...
Five gold coins rolled into the machine along the switch box on the table.
Below the grimace, a line of white boxes appeared, saying: "Player 17773, start to pass the level."
Ji Li sat at the table in a very relaxed position, staring at the grimace on the screen, which was the only one on the screen, and slowly lit a cigarette.
After something just now, Gao Mingjie had already collapsed slightly, but he was still calm and did not yell.
After spending about a minute, he began to watch the information on the screen from a non-player perspective.
The edema face occupies three-quarters of the screen. Blinking and breathing are all available, but the face is particularly terrifying, as if waiting for the player's failure.
At the same time, there is a gold coin pattern in the upper right corner with the suffix "1".
This is the first level, the basic gold coins prepared for the new player Ji Li, to purchase bullets.
Although Gao Mingjie didn't play, he was more anxious and turned his attention to the desktop.
A inferior plastic toy gun is placed on the left and two rows of buttons on the right.
Among them, three buttons on the first row are lit, indicating:
"Lighter", "scissors" and "salvage tube".
In addition to these three, some button props at the back are gray, which means that existing gold coins cannot be purchased.
"Clues, tips..."
Gao Mingjie recalled the performance of Grimmar in the past half minute, trying to use his own brain to think about the other party's weaknesses, so as to buy the corresponding bullet and kill it.
These three props are actually used to empower bullets. As long as you select the corresponding restraint props, you can directly kill them with a gun.
Gao Mingjie could think of this, but he really couldn't think of the weakness of this ghost.
Ji Li was also thinking in her heart, but there were a lot of angles to consider.
Because this first level is different from what Cheng Ming described to him at the beginning.
During the previous trip, Cheng Ming's first level was a very simple vampire without physical interaction.
But obviously, due to Ji Li's identity as a clerk, the game has undergone considerable changes. Not only does it have more supernatural entity interactions, but even ghosts have been changed.
However, although the order of the ghost has changed, this ghost is not unfamiliar. According to Cheng Ming, it should have been the ghost of the seventh level before.
That is, the last ghost Cheng Ming saw, but there was no final obstacle to passing it.
The ghost of the seventh level was moved to the first level, which shows that for the clerks, the difficulty of the game has been separated from reality.
Ji Li only had one gold coin, and he had to choose one of the three props.
This situation is obviously deepening the difficulty, because Cheng Ming said that there were actually 8 types of props he could unlock at that time.
At this moment, Gao Mingjie also came up with an idea when he thought about it. Seeing Ji Li hesitating, he said tentatively: "Shopkeeper, I felt the moisture in the dark just now. It was another swollen face. Is it possible that it was a drowning ghost?"
A very simple idea, but extremely reasonable, even Cheng Ming thought so at the beginning.
really.
Through various manifestations, it is very sufficient evidence that it is a drowning ghost.
Then, if we look at this point, its weakness should be the opposite of the concept of "drowning".
Gao Mingjie has a clear attitude. If he chooses it, it should be a "lighter".
This choice is similar to Cheng Ming's choice. At that time, he chose the "firethblaster" to buy two gold coins.
But the ending is failure.
Of course, this cannot be a reason not to choose a lighter.
After thinking for a while, Ji Li slowly moved the hand holding the cigarette to the button of the "salvage tube".
To be continued...
