"Hello everyone, have you missed me?" Xiao Mingren said loudly before he came in.
He didn't seem to care at all whether the people here would welcome him. There was a bit of joking and pride on his still young face.
He has changed a little, but not much. Cheng Ye and Wei Sheng'an smiled at each other and sat on the sofa without moving.
Their first task now is to let Xiao Ming lead them into the copy of Fatty's friend. Fatty’s friends are still out of reach, and the only way to get in is with Xiao Ming’s skills.
Xiao Ming walked to the living room carrying large and small bags, looked at Wei Sheng'an and said nonchalantly: "Where should I live?" Wei Sheng'an smiled and seemed to be interested: "Want to live with Cheng Ye?" Xiao Ming's eyes seemed to be drawn, and he moved to Cheng Ye said with affection on his face: "Yeah, it's not impossible." Cheng Ye:...Don't get involved.
Wei Sheng'an smiled and said, "The rooms on the first floor of the villa are all full. You can go live on the second floor." Xiao Ming blinked and said, "I live alone." Wei Sheng'an: "What, are you afraid?" Xiao Ming showed a timid expression: "Yes, brother, I'm scared."
"Brother, why don't you live with me? I can warm your bed." Xiao Ming started to wink like crazy.
Like a convulsing butterfly. The fat man's eyes were pure, and he was very puzzled. He pointed at Xiao Ming, who had committed a crime: "What's wrong with him? Someone used a prop on him?" After all, the fat man didn't know Xiao Ming before. In the previous copy, Xiao Ming behaved a little bit. normal.
This weird feeling at this moment made Fatty feel that something was wrong. If it weren't for adding friends to each other and showing the original appearance, the fat man would really think it was another person.
Wei Sheng'an laughed. Xiao Ming is trying to get the feeling of being alive through exaggeration, and he is not the same.
It's just that one is outgoing and the other is introverted. He really understands Xiao Ming, very understanding. So he actually accepted Xiao Ming's words: "It's not impossible for my brother to be so considerate. Then remember to wash yourself before warming up the bed." Now it was Xiao Ming's turn to feel frustrated.
The expression on his face changed back and forth, just like the high-frequency flashing billboards in the subway, and he suddenly choked.
What the hell, you’re a man, why did you really answer the call? Cheng Ye found it interesting that Xiao Ming was sure that the other party wouldn't do it, so he deliberately acted meanly. He didn't expect Wei Sheng'an to be so resistant to his behavior.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business." Cheng Ye came out to smooth things over. He felt that he was really tired, and he felt like taking care of children in kindergarten.
Xiao Ming put down what he was holding and sat on the sofa: "What's the matter?"
"Since we are teammates, the news will naturally be shared." Cheng Ye said slowly: "I got an item, which I feel can be used as a refuge in the future." Cheng Ye knew that although they were trying their best to choose wisely when choosing a copy now, book, but the most indispensable thing in this world is accidents.
Who knows that one day the game will see that they are unhappy and force them to enter a competitive instance. Shelter is like an existence beyond the balance of the game.
Cheng Ye briefly introduced the Museum of Dead Things, and Xiao Ming finally understood.
"In other words, you plan to enter the dungeon through me in seven days if Fatty's friends haven't come out yet, and then set up a portal inside to see if you can directly use the Museum of Dead Things as a springboard to return directly to the main city. Guilty?" Although Xiao Ming was a little unruly, he was still very smart, and he understood Cheng Ye's meaning immediately.
Cheng Ye nodded: "I have the right to invite. Although I can only invite three people a day,...it's not a big problem to bring them out in batches."
"This is... like a cheating method..." Xiao Ming glanced at the prop room again from the corner of his eye. Why do you feel like everyone present is so cheating?
...It seems like I am too. Bah, I am not one of them. Xiao Ming seemed to have thought of something again, and his expression changed slightly.
"Well, I have to say one thing." Xiao Ming said: "My skills cannot be followed 100%, not some special dungeons." For example, the ghost knew what dungeon Cheng Ye had played before, but he actually refused to follow him.
Another example is this special copy, he cannot enter. He even went to customer service to complain, but it was useless.
Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows. He suddenly understood why he hadn't met Xiao Ming a few times before. It turned out that his skills had limitations.
It is only reasonable to have restrictions. Otherwise it would be really outrageous. As soon as Xiao Ming's words came out, Fatty's mood became a little lower.
It seems that we still have to think of another way. For a moment, there was some silence in the hall. After a while, Xiao Ming suddenly asked: "Still can't contact your friend?" The fat man nodded. He had been trying to contact him: "The emails he sent out all seemed to be lost in the sea, without any response." Xiao Ming nodded, if there was any Thoughts.
"Pull me into the team first." He said to Cheng Ye. Cheng Ye smiled and sent a team invitation to Xiao Ming.
After Xiao Ming agreed, everyone present received a new system reminder. [Congratulations on adding a new general, I look forward to your performance in the game.
】The number of people in the Dawn team has changed from 3 to 4. Looking at this number, the fat man was a little dazed. They were originally a team of seven, but they lost two of their comrades, leaving only five of them.
But now, their team cannot add anyone else, otherwise... they will never be able to become teammates.
The fat man was a little hesitant and looked lonely. Cheng Ye patted the fat man on the back, thinking he was worried about his friend's condition, and comforted him: "It's okay. For safety reasons, we will wait another seven days. We don't know what is going on in the dungeon now, so we have to make sure before we save our friend. Your own safety." The fat man nodded.
Of course he understands these principles. Cheng Ye is both a teacher and a friend to him. He took a deep breath and cleared away the stagnation in his chest.
"Tell me your friend's game ID and name." Xiao Ming seemed to open the system panel.
Fatty sent Chu Yue and Ah Hui's IDs via email. These days, he has been in contact with both, and has confirmed that Ah Hui and Chu Yue have indeed not released copies.
And they downloaded a single-player copy. In other words, Cheng Ye's method requires batches of people to be brought out one after another.
After Xiao Ming's operation, his expression froze slightly. He frowned and questioned: "Are you sure they downloaded a single-player dungeon?" The fat man nodded: "I asked my friends who lived with them. The three of them were all single-player dungeons at that time. It's just that they The two downloads are advanced copies..." Xiao Ming frowned.
He had never encountered such a strange phenomenon. Generally speaking, he can search the copy where the other party is and then choose to follow.
If there are no surprises, you can follow. But now, he discovered that the copy where the two players were... displayed the same one.
Same copy. Xiao Ming stared at the name of the dungeon, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly spoke again to confirm: "You said they issued a high-level single-player dungeon?" Fatty heard something was wrong and nodded quickly: "Yes, another friend told me so Mine." He hurriedly explained: "Since they have decided, they will not change their mind temporarily without any special reason. Even if they want to change their mind, they will tell us." The fat man could see something was wrong on Xiao Ming's face. place, the whole person seemed a little uneasy.
Xiao Ming nodded and did not tell everyone about the current situation for the time being. He changed the topic and asked a question: "Have you noticed that after the game was updated, many places seemed to have become unstable?" Cheng Ye and Wei Sheng'an both nodded. This was their biggest feeling.
"Are we still in the beta version?" Cheng Ye thought for a moment and said.
"Do you still remember what the system announced when the game was updated last time?" Xiao Ming asked.
"[The game is about to receive its first major update since its launch.]" Cheng Ye repeated every word.
He didn't understand why Xiao Ming suddenly asked this. but……
"Wait!" he suddenly shouted loudly. He thought of something. When the game was updated, it mentioned 20 rules, and the last rule about the new mode said: [20. In the new mode, the dungeon ends with the completion of the dungeon or the death of the player, and no props can exit the dungeon.
This rule is above all other rules and is an unshakable basic rule. 】This rule is higher than all rules.
Cheng Ye's expression changed. Even if the Museum of Dead Things can be used as an intermediate station under ideal conditions, it can only be done in the official copy.
Purgatory mode is impossible to exit midway no matter what. Either pass the level or... die.
At this moment, Cheng Ye suddenly understood why the game emphasized this point at that time. At that time, he also discussed with Wei Sheng'an about when the game would have temporary exit props.
Now it seems that it is because the game has been updated and the prop library has also been updated. The official copy is an existence that can be discarded.
But purgatory mode...is real purgatory. After thinking about this, Cheng Ye's breathing became a little heavy.
The fat man would definitely be willing to go to the next dungeon where life and death are uncertain for his friends. But what about Xiao Ming?
Will he be willing? Purgatory mode cannot be exited. Maybe I will stay there for the rest of my life.
Wei Sheng'an was so sharp and his memory was very good. Seeing Cheng Ye's expression change, he suddenly figured out the key.
He stepped forward, patted Cheng Ye on the back, and comforted him easily: "It's been a long time since I visited the gate of Purgatory. Let's go and see the new rankings?" If there is a problem with the Purgatory mode, theoretically it shouldn't be just the two of them. Personal problems.
Everyone should have encountered some problems more or less. Go find out some of the latest news among players.
Cheng Ye did not refuse. He and Xiao Ming both walked out with different thoughts. It's time to take a look.
There are obviously fewer players at the gate of Purgatory than when it first went online. Some players stood at the door looking a little haggard.
Xiao Ming stepped forward and started chatting with others. Wei Sheng'an also mingled among the crowd, trying to hear some news. Cheng Ye's eyes were fixed on the panel in mid-air.
Currently, there are ten names on the ranking list. The energy of the first place far separated the second place.
Game ID: Current energy: Second place: Deeply addicted to the sea Energy: 3466 Third place: Blue you Energy: 3226... Tenth place: A little feeling Energy: 624 These people are currently on the list this month top ten.
The player named Pity seemed to have been downloading dungeons non-stop since he discovered the rules of the game. These points... must have been earned day and night.
You must know that after experiencing the first ten free games, you will need to deduct a handling fee when entering the next game.
Is he so strong? Even Cheng Ye, although he had guessed the purpose of the game, could not be 100% sure that he would not die in the copy.
Why is this person working so hard? He has gained so much energy from second place, and it is also the end of the month, so there is no need to fight so hard.
Just as I was thinking about it, the points on the leaderboard jumped again. The points for first place were increased by 10 points. He works really hard.
Cheng Ye's narrow eyes widened slightly as the hot wind in the square blew from a distance. It's a little upsetting.
So does this person also have a wish that he must fulfill? Does he need lots and lots of points?
Even if you die in the game? After a while, Wei Sheng'an and Xiao Ming walked back to Cheng Ye. Xiao Ming smiled very meanly, the kind of smile that made him want to beat him up: "I just asked a few people, and they all said that the purgatory mode is quite purgatory."
"What do you mean by this?" Cheng Ye asked coldly without smiling playfully at him.
"Yes, there will be inexplicable changes." Xiao Ming said: "The low-level dungeon is okay and quite stable, but the intermediate dungeon system may temporarily modify the mission."
"Temporarily modify the mission?" Cheng Ye was stunned. Xiao Ming nodded: "Yes, for example, your mission is to survive until the fifth day, but if you live too easily, the system may feel that it does not meet the difficulty of this mission, and it will increase the difficulty. For example: get Something, or in other words: an additional condition such as helping someone.”
"The game has never been like this before." Wei Sheng'an said seriously. The dungeon is a game framework that is set before entering, and the system never changes the game content temporarily.
"Does this look like us in the main city?" Cheng Ye said softly. He remembered that at the beginning, he secretly encountered game bugs with Weishengan, and after a while, the game would be patched and revised.
But now, this system seems to be put into the copy. Cheng Ye's words made everyone present shine.
Indeed, it is like constantly improving the shortcomings of the copy based on player performance. It's like an intelligent AI, learning and optimizing updates on its own.
The information Wei Sheng'an found was similar to Xiao Ming's. They shared the information they obtained with each other and finally confirmed that the purgatory mode was also a semi-finished product.
It just treats players as something to upgrade themselves. Through the player's gameplay, he can upgrade himself and improve himself.
That’s why it gives the player three chances of death. After all, it is not sure whether the game is reliable.
Therefore, the difficulty of Cheng Ye's second-level dungeon and Fatty's second-level dungeon are so different. Because it has not fully adjusted the difficulty of each copy.
It is progressing, attracting players with the energy points they desire, and then using their gameplay to improve itself.
Cheng Ye's dark eyes stared deeply at the flame door that seemed to lead to hell. No wonder, it’s purgatory mode.
This is the real danger hidden beneath the beauty. Every cake that looks sweet may have poison hidden under it.
For a moment, all four of them were silent. After a while, Xiao Ming lowered his eyes: "I have something to say." Cheng Ye followed closely: "I also have something to say." Everyone looked at them.
