[On a clear morning after the snow, you open your eyes, and you still see the village gate in front of you. As the morning sun sets, another beautiful and fulfilling day begins in the Star Spirit World. 】
[After a night's rest, you feel energetic and your mobility has returned to its peak state. Your current mobility is 5/5. Do you want to start a new day's journey immediately? 】
When the game was launched, it was still at the entrance to the village yesterday, and the mobility was restored to full value, but the upper limit was only five points.
Regarding mobility, the game description states that every time you encounter an 'option' and every time you die, it will consume a little bit. However, according to Mu You's speculation, the 'option' here should mean that the game route will be generated after the selection. There are obviously different plot options, such as the three-way intersection encountered yesterday and the encounter with a dying hunter. Choosing any path will lead to completely different results.
Ordinary simple options such as 'OK to Cancel', 'Whether', and 'Forward and Stay' should not consume mobility.
The only exception is the Owl Store. As long as you 'confirm' to enter the store, whether you buy something or not, it seems that it will consume a certain amount of action energy.
In short, five points of mobility a day is really useless. I wonder if there is any way to improve mobility in the game.
While thinking about it, Mu You silently clicked 'Continue Journey'.
[At the beginning of a new day, as a fool, you continue to embark on the journey to become a great wizard with great ambition. 】
[You have entered the gate of Anning Village. 】
[Anning Village, as the name suggests, is a quiet and peaceful small village on the imperial frontier. Since ancient times, it has relied on logging and farming industries as its main means of livelihood, and is somewhat famous in the surrounding villages. However, the faint smell of blood floating in the air makes you realize that this village does not seem to be as peaceful as it appears...]
【Do you want to enter the village? 】
Of course Mu You chose 'yes'.
Although this village doesn't seem very safe from the description, it should be better than the wild after all.
[You enter the village and see a dilapidated scarecrow standing in the flower field opposite the village gate. The few rags on the scarecrow's body and the dirty hat on its head all indicate that it has not been taken care of for a long time. 】
[This dilapidated scarecrow is also a member of the village. Although it cannot move, its experience of being stationed at the intersection all year round has allowed it to know many secrets of this village. If you are willing to pay some life, you can ask it about a random thing every day. or a specified message. 】
Mu You touched his chin and looked at the text introduction. This scarecrow should be an NPC like an 'Information Merchant', who can buy information as long as he pays a fee.
Mu You tried clicking on the text of 'Scarecrow'.
[You walk towards the scarecrow. Seeing you coming, the eyes made of the scarecrow's buttons flashed with the light of seeing a fat sheep. It greets you enthusiastically: "Oh, a new adventurer, you must be in need of help, right? You're welcome, you only need to pay me a little lifespan, and you can ask anything about this village, I promise Tell me everything you know!" (Only once per day)]
Three options pop up below.
[Pay a lifespan and get a random information. 】
[Ask the Scarecrow a specific question, and the Scarecrow will ask you for an additional life span ranging from 5 to 100 points depending on the difficulty of the question. He will only answer you if you are willing to pay. 】
[I have no questions to ask and leave silently. 】
"Can I still ask questions?"
Mu You looked at the second option and was a little surprised.
How do you ask questions in this word game that can only point and click?
Is it possible to speak directly by voice?
Mu You held the pocket watch and tried clicking on the second item.
As a result, a text input box pops up below, and you can enter text and symbols normally like a text message!
Mu You was shocked!
He thought this was a purely stand-alone game, but now there is a text input function...
Does this mean that when you meet other players in the future, you can also communicate with each other in the game by entering text?
After a brief thought, Mu You hurriedly pressed his pocket watch and returned to the previous options.
He had just arrived in the village, didn't know anything yet, and of course had no specific questions to ask.
Going back to the previous step, Muyou clicked on the first option again.
[You pay the scarecrow a little lifespan and ask him for random information. 】
[Lifespan -1, remaining lifespan is 55 years. 】
[The scarecrow looks at you with satisfaction and says to you mysteriously: "At the east end of this village, there lives a lonely 'watchman'. He is withdrawn by nature, has no friends, and sleeps day and night. Every night he would carry a jack-o'-lantern and go around the village to watch.
I used to see him every night and occasionally chat with him, so I knew a lot about him. But since a week ago, the night watcher suddenly disappeared! He was never seen again - which means that something bad might have happened to him.
According to the rules of the Star Spirit World, if no one inherits the relics of a deceased person, they will become ownerless. So, if you can get into the watchman's house now, you can get all of his inheritance! ! ”]
[The scarecrow's eyes flashed with greed: "However, the house of the watchman is equipped with a magic barrier, which must be opened using a specific method, and in this village, I am the only one who knows how to open the door. Now, you As long as you pay 50 years of life, I can tell you how to unlock the lock!】
[The Scarecrow asks you for 50 years of life. As the price for obtaining the Scarecrow's inheritance, do you want to pay it immediately? 】
Options pop up below: [Yes], [No].
Mu Youxin said this was some kind of black-hearted scarecrow.
No wonder it only took a little lifespan to tell him what seemed to be quite exciting news. It turned out that the key lies in the second step!
The watchman's inheritance, if this thing can be obtained, is of course very valuable. However, just knowing this information is useless. Without the password to open the door, you still cannot obtain the inheritance.
And if you want to get the method to open the door, you need to pay an additional fifty years of life, which reduces the value of this news infinitely.
It’s hard to say whether the inheritance of the watchman is worth fifty years in total. If the room is empty when you open it, wouldn’t it be wasted after fifty years?
For ordinary people, this option is not worth it.
——But who let him have a pocket watch!
Mu You said that this intelligence option is his favorite.
"Pay."
Muyou decisively chose to pay.
[You chose to accept the scarecrow’s bewitchment and paid it fifty years of life. 】
[The scarecrow feels the full vitality in his body and is very excited. He finally tells you how to unlock the lock...]
