Chapter 377 Obtaining the Artifact (Two in One)

With the experience of dealing with blog emails last time, Xu Jing screened and deleted most of the emails with ease this time.What remained in the end were mainly business-labeled emails and a few emails with some special labels.

He looked at one of the emails, and the email was sent by someone who surprised him.

Andrew:
congratulations.

First of all, I want to say that I know you. I snatched the Chuck shoes you wanted to buy at the entrance of the technology area on the commercial street that day. I don’t know if you still remember it.

Although you hid your name, I can still know it because I have a special detection equipment, and what I want to tell you is that although such equipment is rare in the oasis, there is definitely more than one.

Well, having said so much, I actually want to ask you, how to pass the first challenge?

I know you won't tell me easily, but I can exchange other information with you, and I promise that the said information will be very important to you, and it will be worth the money.

If you agree to exchange, come to my chat room and find me, the access code is MTFBWYA.

—— Artemis
"Intel worth a key?"

Xu Jing suddenly became interested in the information mentioned by Artemis. The other party has real materials in the study of Halliday, and every blog has been analyzed thoroughly.

After thinking about it, he searched for the other party's chat room, entered the permission password, and entered it instantly.

Artemis set a reminder, and after Xu Jing entered, she followed in a short while. She was wearing a patina armor with a scimitar on her back, and two beam pistols stuck in the holster on her waist. It looks like it came out of the PVP area.

After seeing Xu Jing, she was overjoyed, and went straight to the point: "It's a pleasure to see you again, so I won't talk nonsense. The information I want to exchange with you this time is about the third key. Some schemes of the Sixth Man."

"Oh?"

Xu Jing was extremely surprised. He didn't expect that the other party dared to claim information about the third key without getting the first key. However, instead of sneering, he asked, "Are you sure?"

Artemis said solemnly: "I swear in the name of the hunter."

"Then you go ahead." Xu Jing is not the one who suffers.

Artemis had expected it a long time ago, and she had no room for bargaining, so she simply said: "The clue to the third key is related to Arnock Castle..."

She went on to talk about the basis of the judgment. Since the year Halliday died and released the easter egg video, countless hunters have swept across every place in the oasis that seems to hide keys, especially those codes created by A planet written by Halliday himself.

Among them, the most popular is Ketonia, a fantasy world created by Halliday when he joined the running team in high school. In this world, there is a castle named after Halliday's character, that is Arno Castle.

For a long time, this castle has been blocked by a strange force, and no player has ever been able to enter it, and people can only see its majesty from a distance.

Outside Arnock Castle, there is an Atari 2600 game console, but this console is also blocked.

Xu Jing understood when he heard this, but he said: "Almost every hunter in the oasis knows your information, and you have no evidence to prove that Arnock Castle is related to the Crystal Key."

"No, I have." Artemis hesitated, gritted his teeth: "I got key information from a mission, the crystal key needs to be obtained using that game console, and the person who gets the three keys can pass The power that blocked the castle entered it, and there is a door that requires three keys to open."

Xu Jing was slightly stunned. He could sense through his soul that Artemis was not lying. In this case, this was indeed a very important piece of information.

However, he still hesitated and said, "The information you mentioned is indeed useful, but too many people know about it. Although other people have no evidence, they will not ignore it, so the challenge method of exchanging the first level is not enough."

Artemis smiled, she seemed very confident and said: "The next thing I want to talk about is the information about IOI, you might as well listen to it first."

"Okay, you say."

"Three months ago, when the challenge was first made public, the sixth person secretly built fortifications outside Arnock Castle while people's attention was being attracted. The effect of the artifact obtained in "Tomb", it is an Oswax orb, a 99-level artifact, it can create an indestructible magic shield, and this shield is indestructible and impenetrable, only the corresponding spell It can only be lifted, and this shield is enough to block the entire Arnock Castle."

"Made!"

Xu Jing couldn't help cursing after hearing this, he knew that the matter was serious, if it was true, then even if he got two keys, he would not have a chance to get the third key, IOI's drudgery, it's simply never fail.

"How is it? Is my information enough to exchange with you the way to clear the first level?" Artemis asked.

"Enough." Xu Jing admitted that this information is indeed very useful to him, at least now he still has a chance to sabotage the IOI's plan, otherwise it will be too late for the other party's plot to succeed.

He was not in a hurry to say the challenge method, but asked: "But I still have a question, why didn't you exchange with Parsifal and the others, and contact me instead?"

Artemis replied: "Because they formed a team, I think you are more credible."

"I think it's because you think it's easier to compete with me?" Xu Jing said with a smile.

"Whatever you think." Artemis snorted, "I've told you all the information, it's your turn."

"Okay." Xu Jing won't back down, and he didn't bother with the question just now, and said directly: "The first level challenge is very simple, as long as you reverse the car at full speed, there is a safe and smooth passage behind."

"So that's the case." Artemis suddenly realized, and said seriously: "Thank you, I will keep the secret."

She said that she sent a friend request, Xu Jing readily accepted, and then said: "Then I wish you good luck, I hope you can catch up with me."

After he finished speaking, he found that Artemis was full of surprise and uncertainty, and felt amused in his heart, and left the chat room without waiting for the other party to ask.

After returning to the oasis, he opened the mail again, first browsed through a bunch of requests for business cooperation, and still did not reveal any identity information, but this time his character portrait, name and even his voice were sold.

After earning a lot of money, Xu Jing first bought a piece of equipment, Superman's camouflage glasses, which not only can disguise his appearance, but also prevent the character's name from being detected by special equipment.

After dealing with these, he continued to look through other emails.

Among the remaining emails, IOI actually sent him more than 1 emails, almost indiscriminately, sending more than a dozen emails per minute, and it has not stopped until now.

Moreover, these emails are all marked with "major cooperation proposals, please read them immediately."

Xu Jing read a few emails, and the content of the emails was exactly the same. They were sent in the name of Sorrento, and he didn't say what kind of cooperation it was. He only asked to contact the other party as soon as possible to discuss through private chat.

Although the tone of the email from IOI seems to be respectful, it still cannot hide its threatening meaning.

Xu Jing hadn't figured out how to deal with IOI's conspiracy, so he screened out this type of email first, and then looked at another email.

The sender of this email claimed to be his fan, and the label of the email was marked with the words "artifact clue".

He still pays great attention to artifacts. Although there are countless oasis planets, there are no more than a hundred artifacts that have appeared, and most of them appeared in the early days, and they rarely appear now.

Every artifact is unique, and very few people will take it to the auction. Because of this, every artifact that appears in the auction will attract many guild forces or rich people, and the price is sky-high every time.

Xu Jing began to read this email. The sender claimed to be a Halliday research scholar, and he said that he had discovered a very hidden pizzeria on the planet Ajied.

The pizzeria is unremarkable, but identical to the pizzeria in Halliday's hometown that appears in archive footage.

Seeing this, Xu Jing's expression became serious. When he was watching Halliday's experience, a pizza shop appeared in several scenes. Halliday often didn't go home directly after school at that time, but went to That pizza place to kill time.

The store is divided into two parts: a restaurant and a game room, but even the restaurant has game consoles so you can play while eating.

The fan of the letter went on to describe the found pizzeria, which was indeed the same as the one he knew from the footage.

There is a problem here.

Xu Jing asked himself, if he found such a store, he would definitely have a wild imagination.

Sure enough, this fan made a major discovery in the pizzeria. In the grocery room of the store, there was a "Pac-Man" arcade machine with a "damaged" label.

And this arcade machine is actually not broken. If it is plugged in, it can be turned on normally.

More importantly, the highest score of this arcade machine is 3333350 points, only 10 points less than the full score, and the challenger is actually Halliday.

Moreover, this arcade machine does not cast game currency, but a 25-point coin, and each person only has one chance to challenge.

If you want to break the record, you must get all the points.

The fan who wrote the letter practiced "Pac-Man" hard for several months, and finally failed the challenge. The other party told Xu Jing this information, but it was not without request.

The other party requested that if Xu Jing succeeds in the challenge and if he gets the artifact, he hopes to be informed of the way to clear the death road race.

Xu Jing's heart was moved. No matter what this person said was true or false, he wanted to go there and have a look. Of course, if it was true and he gained benefits, he would not mind telling one more about the method of clearing the brass key. Man, but only after he figured out how to deal with the IOI and got the second key.

Now that the curator is away, he just has time, so he rushed to the teleportation temple and teleported directly to the planet Ajied.

Ajied is not only a PVP area, but also a dual area, where both magic and technology can be used.

This is the largest old video game museum in Oasis. There is no land, atmosphere or crater-like surface on the entire planet. There are only countless green spots, like airports connected end to end.

The terrain here is more complex than a maze, where underground passages, steps, elevators, ladders, slides and secret doors form a huge traffic network, just like an underground mausoleum.

Besides, game consoles are game consoles here, and no one has the patience to explore, so it's not surprising that there is a pizzeria from Halliday's childhood that has not been discovered so far.

Xu Jing followed the map attached to the email and came all the way to the core of the planet. He was not worried that this was a trap. First of all, the other party didn't know when he would come. In addition, if there was an ambush, his soul scan could detect it in advance.

He entered a tunnel, and soon came to a huge exhibition room, walked along the street all the way to the dead end at the end, and finally found the goal of this trip——Happy Time Pizzeria.

"It appears to be true."

Xu Jing was overjoyed. Under his soul scan, there were no players around, and there were only a few NPC clerks in the shop.

He walked into the store, avoided the NPC clerk, and went straight to the innermost utility room. Sure enough, there was a "Pac-Man" arcade machine with a completely black screen and a damaged label.

In addition, he also found that a 25-cent coin was fixed on the hockey stick on the top game cover of the arcade machine.

Seeing this coin, Xu Jing thought of the video of Halliday's will released after his death. In the video, he was lying in a coffin, with a coin covering each of his eyes. The coin was exactly the same as the one fixed on the arcade machine in front of him.

He tried to break the coin with his hands, but the coin seemed to be locked on it by a force, no matter how much force he used, he couldn't move it.

"What exactly did Halliday leave behind?"

Xu Jing was even more sure that there was something wrong, so he quickly plugged in the power of the game console, and the electronic music started playing immediately, and the screen was running normally.

But he didn't rush to start the game, but arranged around a little bit, and locked the door of the grocery room.

There is only one chance. If you want to get the highest score in "Pac-Man", you must complete 256 levels without any mistakes. You must eat all the beans and ghosts that appear on the screen, and you must not die once. This game is released in the current world In more than 60 years, no more than [-] people have done it.

Of course Xu Jing is sure to do it, but he must not be disturbed by others.

He stretched his fingers a bit, and when he was ready, he put an ordinary 25-cent coin into the coin slot, then clicked on the single player mode, and the game officially started.

The left hand controls the joystick, changes direction, and devours beans without end.

Whoa - whoa - whoa!
Xu Jing manipulated the joystick with ease, focusing his attention on the two-dimensional game world in front of him.

After nearly four hours.

Accompanied by the music at the end of the game, he succeeded, perfectly scoring the highest score.

"What reward will it be?"

He was a little excited, and suddenly turned his eyes to the 25-cent coin that could not be moved.

I saw the coin falling off the hockey stick, jingling and slowly rolling towards him.

"It turned out to be this."

Xu Jing grabbed the rolling coin, and the coin disappeared in his hand in an instant, and then he actually received a notification from the system.

The moment he saw the prompt, his heart shook violently.

Level 120 Artifact: 25 cents coin.

1. If the host character in the oasis dies, it can be perfectly revived once.

2. If the host materializes and brings it back to the main world, the user's strength must not exceed Class A, and it can be revived perfectly after death.
