Infinite weird games

Qisi returned to Qijia Village, took fever-reducing medicine, then lay on the bed and entered the game space.

This time he spent 200 points directly to renew the service for two hours in addition to his daily one-hour stay.

He covered his face with a human skin mask, looked in the mirror and made an ordinary student face that looked particularly gentle, and adjusted his pupils to ordinary brown and black.

After making sure that there was no trace of "Qis" anymore, he stepped down from the throne, walked all the way to the bronze door of the temple, and pushed the door open.

…

Weird Gamer Square, Ruins of the Sunset.

The dark yellow sky reflects the color of dusk, and a bloody sun hangs on the horizon, never setting or rising.

Broken building debris lay across the ground, skinny pillars swaying here and there, lingering dust filled the air, and traces of fire mixed with golden ooze crawled into every corner.

A tall black tower rises from the ruins, with overlapping layers leading to the sky. The six iron doors on each floor are blocked, like a lonely tomb that has been silent for a long time.

In the earliest days, there was no name here, just called "Player Square" or "Game Hall".

Later, someone didn't know who came up with the nickname "Ruins of the Sunset", which was unexpectedly appropriate and gradually spread among the player community.

Until now, Weird Games has also recognized this title.

The main body of the Ruins of the Sunset is a giant golden tree. Its deep-rooted roots extend to every corner like blood vessels. Its half-empty and half-solid branches and leaves extend in all directions. There are floating light spots all around, exuding a radiant glow. The radiance casts a sacred air over the dilapidated scene.

Golden fruits hang from the tree, and through the translucent shell, you can see the vines growing inside and the figures of people coming and going.

Under the tree is a large square, with men, women, old and young in different costumes coming and going. Sometimes someone disappears among the branches and leaves, and sometimes someone appears out of thin air.

Qiss came out of the game space and stood next to the tree trunk in the center of the square. As soon as his vision settled, he saw a wisp of vines hanging down from his head.

The giant tree growing in Sunset Ruins and the golden plant behind the high-backed chair obviously belong to the same species, but they are much more leafy and spread out in infinite time and space with no end in sight.

After Zeiss looked at him, the non-narrative message gently told him the name of the tree -

"world."

Under the World Tree, there is a row of stone tablets engraved with the rankings of players and guilds, and the rankings are slowly changing.

Qisi had already heard it. He walked closer and heard a cold electronic sound coming from the bottom of his mind:

[You currently have five first pass records and one ranking record]

Although after clearing a dungeon, the game will not proactively inform the player whether it is the first time to clear it, but Qiss still has a general idea of ​​which dungeons he has passed as a TE.

"Rose Manor", "Carnivore", "Hopeless Sea", "Grand Show" and "Red Maple Leaf Boarding School", exactly five.

As for the list...

Qisi walked to the newcomer list, and two lines of prompts flashed in front of his eyes:

[This list only includes players who have cleared ten dungeons (excluding the novice pool) or less, and is ranked based on the dimensions of force, skills, props, etc.]

【Your ranking is: 93】

The newcomer list only showed the top 100 players. Qisi looked at the end of the list and saw a line of records:

[93, ** (This player has not set a display nickname), male, cleared copy 4]

Nearly half of the players on the rookie list have asterisks in their names, so Zis's record is not conspicuous among them.

The first one on the list is a female player named "Li Yunyang". There is not much discussion in the forum. She most likely has never played a live broadcast and does not have many first pass records.

The top twenty players in the rankings have all cleared 10 copies. The more senior you are, the more points you have and the more reward props you have, which makes sense.

Qisi looked down and saw three familiar names.

[21. Chang Xu, male, cleared 6 copies]

[49. Dong Xiwen, male, cleared 6 copies]

[85. Lin Chen, male, cleared copy 3]

He almost understood that force weighed heavily on this list, and the evaluation of the strength of props and skills was mostly based on whether it would directly help improve force.

Among them, I don’t know what props Lin Chen obtained after clearing the "33rd Middle" copy on TE, and he was able to suddenly rush to the top of the newcomer list.

"Looking at it this way, I can't beat most of the people on the list." Qisi sighed quietly.

He has always been self-aware of his own strength, so he is quite satisfied with the ranking of 93.

In his opinion, he has been in a state of kneeling at the slightest touch for a long time, and now he is on the list thanks to the prop [Cursed Pendulum].

In fact, if we only consider the survival probability in the dungeon, Qisi can be ranked very high; a string of veteran players in the middle of the list who have cleared 10 dungeons may fall directly off the list.

Although resourcefulness, knowledge and puzzle-solving abilities cannot be quantified, they are not unimportant in the copy. Although Zisi's abilities in these aspects are not necessarily comprehensive and top-notch, they can always be ranked in the first echelon.

The newly obtained [Scarlet Priest] identity card gives him the ability to gain faith and convert faith into strength. The [Soul Contract] skill allows him to take powerful players into his own hands. This may not necessarily be a weakness in his military power. bridge.

His [Rose Heart] and [Human Skin Mask] and other props may not seem to add much to his force when taken individually, but their compatibility is very good and they can interact and cooperate with each other to help him deceive and take advantage of others.

It is easy for unscrupulous people to gain an advantage in advance in a crowd that follows the rules. No matter how powerful a player is, they may be killed by a sneak attack with a small blade.

If a hundred players on the rookie list were put into a dungeon to fight in a melee, Qiss was confident that he could survive to the end through various operations that normal people would not think of.

Of course, there is no point reward for being on the list, and he is anonymous. It makes no difference to him whether he is ranked high or low.

But, will someone combine the clearance records and the number of clearance copies to clarify a thread among a bunch of complicated anonymous information and lock down his existence?

Zeiss fell into thought.

…

On the outside of the square away from the main trunk of the World Tree, European-style buildings composed of stone slabs and dead branches are surrounded by a circle, creating an atmosphere of a doomsday wasteland.

Most of these buildings are built spontaneously by players and are used to earn points that mean survival. It is filled with gambling, pornography and other entertainment that are not allowed by federal law. It is bustling and lively.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yuhan entered the game space on time, and soon received the coordinates sent by Qisi through the soul blade.

Following the guidance of the leaves, she entered the player square, walked through the streets of Sunset Ruins, entered a secluded alley, and walked into a private room of a restaurant.

There was only a plate of green vegetables and two bowls of rice on the square dining table. A gentle young man in a white shirt sat behind the table, holding his chin in his hand, lost in thought.

Seeing her come in, the young man smiled gently at her: "Yuhan, long time no see."

The sound was so familiar that Liu Yuhan would never forget it in her life. She realized belatedly that the young man with an unfamiliar face in front of her was none other than Qiss.

I have only cleared a few dungeons, but can I even change my face?

Liu Yuhan thought of the expression "no self, all living beings" for no reason, and sat down opposite Qisi anxiously, placing her hands on her knees cautiously.

Then I heard the young man say with a smile: "I hope you will join the Kyushu Guild within a week - I believe that with your reputation, you will not be rejected."

She suddenly raised her eyes, and saw that the young man was saying cruel words with a childish face like a student: "After one week, if you haven't succeeded, you will be obliterated."

The bright red contract scroll materialized in the air, with new golden handwriting written on the last line as supplementary terms.

Liu Yuhan saw her pale face in the young man's eyes, and her face became even paler as she finished the last word.

She recalled that a week ago, when she made a desperate move to join the Tianping Church, the believer in charge of recruiting people also said to her: "We hope you can join the Kyushu Guild as soon as possible."

She kept silent and slunk through, never intending to actually carry out the mission.

When she was a newcomer, she came into contact with the Kyushu Guild, but she always felt that it was just another tower that needed to be climbed up. She had just escaped from an endless climb and just wanted to breathe free.

Nowadays, the world has changed. With her fame, she does not have to climb up from the bottom like ordinary people, but she is still unwilling to join and be a shameful undercover.

Kyushu, no matter how declining it is, is the "lighthouse" in the minds of players; even though their ideas are illusory, they were once her lifelong pursuit...

Liu Yuhan swallowed her saliva and said solemnly: "I have cleared twelve dungeons, and there are still eighty-eight dungeons left."

"Isn't this just right?" Qisi tilted his head, his smile not diminishing, "By joining a big guild like Kyushu, you might be able to find a way to deal with me in advance - who knows?"

how can that be possible? Even if you find a way, you can kill me with just one thought...

Liu Yuhan thought bitterly and lowered her head in silence. After a while, she heard the young man lower his voice and say in a seductive tone: "Let's make another deal."

Golden vines fluttered in the void, and the long blood-colored scrolls that had just faded solidified again.

The devil in charge of the contract smiled strangely: "As long as you can find tangible evidence that can lock me in from the public information, I will let you go in advance."

"Records, lists, forums...you've always been good at analyzing these, aren't you?"
