"The five elements are mutually reinforcing and the five elements are mutually incompatible" - chess player.
After entering the game, Wu Hui covered his head and panted for a moment on the ground before he began to observe his surroundings and the rules of the game.
Surrounding it was a small room that looked like a... secret room.
There is a metal incense burner with incense on the Eight Immortals table next to it, and the candles on the candlestick are burning. Not far away there is a small cup filled with tea.
"Mission: Escape from the secret room. Time limit is five minutes. The props in the pocket are temporarily sealed."
I don’t know if time outside is paused in this game.
There is absolutely no rule about whether to suspend or not. It seems that it all depends on the devil's mood. However, some players concluded that card players and playwrights like to pause the outside world at the beginning of the game, followed by the master. Gladiators don't like doing this very much.
As for Black Death, the game takes place directly in reality. It doesn't matter whether to pause or not.
"..." Wu Hui stood up, and then began to observe the surroundings with the faint light of the incense burner. There were question marks under the scan of the glasses. Obviously the system would not let him cheat by this.
The first is observation.
The door is locked. According to common sense, a key is required. In theory, there will be no other exit.
Combined with the reminder that the five elements are mutually reinforcing and the five elements are mutually incompatible at the beginning, the Eight Immortals table is wood, the burning incense is fire, the incense burner is gold, the ashes of the incense are earth, and the tea is water.
I reached out and touched it on the table, and there was stickiness in several places. Sprinkle the incense ash on it and blow off the excess to form handwriting.
"The key belongs to fire"
Fire? What material is the key made of fire? Wu Hui frowned, feeling his head hurt again.
"No, it shouldn't be the material, it means..."
Wu Hui's eyes lit up and he thought of something. The door is made of wood and is dry and old. So this means I can burn the door and leave?
It seems that a stick of incense cannot light a door. Although the brightness of this incense is unusually high. And you have to make sure that the fire doesn't spread or burn you to death. Maybe it means something else, like the need to burn a door lock with fire.
There was nothing under the incense burner or the Eight Immortals table. Tea... Wu Hui didn't pour it out in a hurry. But he noticed something wrong with the dust on the ground.
The Eight Immortals Table has been moved, and its original location should be...over here.
Returning the Eight Immortals Table to its place, nothing happened. So Wu Hui climbed onto the table and reached towards the roof. He raised the incense burner to illuminate it and saw a groove that seemed to be the same style as a teacup.
Not urgent.
He searched the ground and saw a thin opening with a layer of water inside, but it seemed that it was still far away from the mark in it.
Tea was poured into it and a click was heard. A match popped up near the thin opening. Wu Hui then installed the tea cup in the groove on the ceiling, and there was another click, and a candle fell down.
Can't candles be lit with incense? Wu Hui frowned, stretched out his hand and tried it, and found that although the incense was bright, it really couldn't be ignited. Then the purpose of matches is determined.
Light the fire, burn the lock.
Card.
The door opened.
It takes two minutes. Not too fast. But considering that Wu Hui's head still hurts, it's not bad.
"Ding. The item has been unlocked."
"Get the Five Elements Card: Fire. Burn the Lock Candle. One star."
A card with a back that looked like an old advertisement from decades ago and a candle with a burnt lock on the front.
fire. burn lock candle
Level: one star
Type: Puzzle
Effect: Breaks primitive metal locks without special powers.
After leaving the secret room, I saw a peach orchard. Wu Hui looked around and covered his head again.
The scenery is very good. But the smell in the air was unflattering. The smell of pig shit was mixed with the faint smell of blood, and the mixture made it nauseating.
There was no one else around and the rules of the game were officially announced.
"Look for the Five Elements Card in the scene, and go to the duel field for a duel in six hours."
"The rules of Five Elements Cards are as follows."
“Both sides play a card at the same time every round, and the big star wins over the small star.
If the two are born in the Five Elements (metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal), the star rating of the living person will be increased by 1.
For example, if gold generates water, one side will play a 3-star gold card, and the other side will play a 3-star water card. According to the rules of mutual generation, a 3-star water card is regarded as a 4-star card.
If the two elements are in conflict with each other in the five elements (metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, and fire overcomes metal), the star rating of the one being overcome will be reduced by 1.
For example, if one side plays a 3-star gold-based card and the other side plays a 3-star wood-based card, then according to the rules of mutual restraint, the 3-star wood-based card will be regarded as 2-star. "
"The five-element cards played by the losing side in each round will not take effect. The five-element cards played by the winning side will take effect according to the current star power after the mutual generation and mutual restraint settlement."
"The first party to play out all the cards or die will be deemed a complete failure and the game is over."
"The current number of remaining opponents: 3"
Not a complicated rule, but a very complicated game. Strategy can play a big role in this.
Wu Hui originally wanted to sit down and analyze it, but his head was so uncomfortable that he could only give up thinking for the time being and start looking for cards first. A total of six hours of time cannot be wasted.
The method of finding cards will most likely be the same as before, by solving puzzles...
Wu Hui usually hopes that the game will have more brain-based elements and less fighting and luck elements. Now he just wants to vomit blood. My head hurts just after I cracked a not-too-difficult escape room. After six hours of solving the puzzle, I'm afraid I'd be crippled.
No, you can’t look at it that way. Wu Hui took a deep breath and put away the burning candle.
Maybe there are five elements cards that can help him solve his soul overdraft problem. The effect of these things shouldn't be too bad.
Wu Hui began to search, and he knew from the name that the Five Elements Card must be related to the Five Elements. Then look for things related to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Peach trees, well water, butcher's knife, stove fire, green granite, let's not talk about anything else, just take a few more looks and study it.
The shape of the peach tree is twisted and looks like a mark, and in the direction the tree is leaning, another leaning tree can be seen. Follow this tree to the end and get a Five Elements card.
Wood. Trees guide the way.
Level: one star
Type: Puzzle
Effect: Points to the location of the shouted item.
"The types are all puzzles... but the tree guide is a bit too simple. I don't know if this type is an effect or a way to obtain it." Wu Hui muttered to himself, without hesitation, he called out the metal lock. Then follow the directions and find a hut.
After confirming that he could not open it with his hands, Wu Hui directly activated the burning candle to open the lock without considering the mystery behind it. The metal lock was burned and the wardrobe was opened.
I saw a knife and a piece of tattered clothes. Get the five elements card.
Gold. Knife-hiding man
Level: Samsung
Type: Auxiliary
Effect: The body will automatically dodge next time it is attacked.
In the closet, hiding a knife? Wu Hui frowned, feeling that the name meant something.
Two one-star tickets are exchanged for one three-star ticket, no loss at all. But this is clearly not enough. Keep looking.
ps third update today. Designing game rules is indeed an interesting thing. If anyone contributes, I suggest you write it below the post pinned to the top of the comment area.
