Interactive Fiction: The Right Choice After Unemployment

Chapter 83 Hunting Instructions
Option 42.9 7.1%, Option 50 [-]%, Option [-] [-]%.

……

【Option [-]】

【Position to control site changes】

……

In the first game, the manipulation of the field was quite effective.This proves that such a move can work.

"(For stability, it's good to keep it that way.)"

Zheng Zhuo secretly said in his heart.He left the console of the first round and went to the control area of ​​the second round.This time, he was also sitting in the position of manipulating the field.

No one wonders about it.Because the janitors are seated casually: for them, it doesn't matter which table they sit in - all they have to do is follow the instructions of the foreman.

……

The end whistle fell.

There was a jolt at the finish line, and a high wall rose slowly.

The sand and stones shook down, and the high wall separated the six groups of eleven contestants who passed the [first round] from the losers who were not selected.

"..."

Tao Tao saw the third group of players in the "Alliance" that he had eliminated.Their faces were contorted with anger.

Soon, the two contestants who lost by one step were hidden by the rising wall and lost sight.

"[...]"

"[Please enter the second game: the venue for the points competition.]"

"[Repeat, contestants please...]"

Tao Tao took one last look at the raised wall.

It's not the first time she's made it past the first round.But it was the first time for her to experience the feeling of survival from a desperate situation.

"...It's completely different from before."

Her heart was still beating wildly.Part of it was fear—if it wasn't for her resistance to environmental changes, if she hadn't accepted the guidance of the mysterious man, she wouldn't be able to use the magic she just mastered to advance in such a short period of time——

Another part is-

"……Excited."

Once again, as a magister, he stood on the battlefield.

Tao Tao clenched the dark attribute magic stone in his hand.Little by little, the long-lost confrontation awakened her fighting instinct accumulated over the years.

"Next time."

She left the wall behind and walked forward.

……

Following the footsteps of the ten people ahead, Tao Tao passed through the last canyon of the abyss.

Stepping through the white gate, everyone entered the core area of ​​the site: a circular site of more than one thousand acres.

In the circular field, there are all the previous eight types of terrain.Grasslands and hills account for the largest proportion, accounting for 1/3 of the area of ​​the circular site, followed by mountains, deserts, swamps and oceans.The Pole and the Abyss have only two tiny spots in the corners.

And this peaceful and beautiful venue will soon be filled with more than a hundred monsters.

Tao Tao walked into the venue.

This means that the last player has also arrived.

hum-

The eight gates vibrated together.The pure white door slowly rose, closing the eight passages.

Immediately afterwards, a large screen appeared in the sky.And the big screen showed the rules again.

……

[Second round: points race]

Time: 120 minutes
Magic stone for small monsters (lizards, birds, fish): 1 point per piece

Magic stones for medium-sized monsters (horse, wolf, leopard, crocodile): 1 points per piece

Sorcerer stones of large monsters (lions, tigers, dragons): 1 piece, 5 points

At the end of the time, the 8 players with the most points will advance to [the third round: the final].

……

At the same time, around the rules, the screen flickered, showing the faces of 48 contestants in 95 groups.

95 people.

Because, there is a group of solo contestants.

In the lower right corner of the big screen, Tao Tao and the vacancy next to her are particularly eye-catching.

"...It's the chief..."

"The chief has been promoted..."

"...the voice just now..."

"Hey, hey, is it a dragon?"

"I connected the students outside! It is said that the chief summoned the monster—"

"what?"

"...the dragon of the abyss..."

The voices of the players are getting louder.The players who also came out of the abyss field were staring at Tao Tao closely, while the players who came out of the ocean field and the polar field in the distance were also staring at this side.

All eyes were on Tao Tao like the tip of a needle.As the chief, she is used to being watched, but this is the first time she has endured such a hostile and suspicious gaze.

"..."

Tao Tao took a step back uncomfortably.

In front of her, she felt four beams of particularly strong hostility.Tao Tao looked back following the gaze of the Nazha people, and saw the remaining members of the "Alliance" who had been eliminated by her in the last round.

"(...they cooperated very well just now, they must have practiced in advance. It should be for the preparations for this points competition. Now, I have squeezed out a group of players, which greatly reduces the possibility of their advancement...) "

"(In the next game, I'm afraid I will be targeted...!)"

An ominous premonition arose in Tao Tao's heart.

She reached out to hold the spar.

"(Abyss dragon... no way.)"

The shading of the venue is too low.Moreover, the other five groups of players in [Abyss Field] have already made preparations.

will be set on fire.

"(Choose what...mobility? Try it first, Eagle...)"

Tao Tao squeezed the dark magic stone in his hand.

however.

Just a little hesitation can make a very different result.

Tao Tao closed her eyes, it was difficult to draw a specific appearance in her mind.

"(no.)"

She told herself in her heart to be accurate and exact.

But now, before it even started, she was already nervous.

"(Tiger.)"

"(Wolf……)"

"(--Crocodile--)"

Tao Tao began to quickly change the subject of the experiment.However, the more impatient he was, the less he could feel the pulse of the summoned creature in his heart.

If you can't summon it and end here...

Tao Tao told himself not to think about it.However, the idea of ​​"don't think about it" also becomes a kind of dark insinuation.

Negative emotions inevitably breed wildly in her mind.

When she used [Light Attribute], she never felt this way.

[Dark Attribute] If you don't use it well, not only will you suffer physical damage, but also mentally...

not like this.

Tao Tao turned his head.

There is still a 10-minute countdown until the start of the game.Some players went to the rest area for a brief rest, and some players were confirming information with their watches.

So Tao Tao also turned on the watch.

……

Outside the auditorium.

Zheng Zhuo sat in front of the console, checking the status of the venue.

"(Lighting, site elevation difference, climate, weather... good.)"

All the controllable facilities are very similar to the previous one, it seems that the experience of the previous one can be used to continue to intervene.

"(In this case, the next game will also...)"

Ding dong.

Suddenly, Zheng Zhuo's watch rang.

The interface shows that the message has been received.Zheng Zhuo raised his hand.

It was from Tao Tao.

……

[What can I summon now? 】

……

Rare unsolicited questions.

Zheng Zhuo was stunned for a moment: this was the first time he received a message from Tao Tao on his own initiative.

Just when he was stupefied.Ding dong.Here comes another one.

……

[Please tell me, please. 】

……

"..."

Zheng Zhuo stared at the message.

The question is not "what should be summoned" or "what is best to summon", but "what can be summoned".

It seemed that Tao Tao was shaking violently.She is losing confidence.

This is not a good signal.

Facing this information, Zheng Zhuo fell into deep thought.

So……

As a [system], give her some pointers.

……
