Standing in the middle of the passage of the maze, it feels like standing between two buildings. You are stepping on a broad and majestic commercial block, and on both sides are commercial buildings that represent the face of the city. Although the size of the passage is a bit different, even if it is small, The passage isn't that small either.
In such a huge maze, there are 162 correct routes with repeated sections less than one-third of the entire length, not to mention other dead ends and misleading sections used to confuse players.
If the fifty-four people were scattered and placed inside, you would be lucky to encounter two or three, unless the starting point of the maze was not far away.
But if this is the case, the linkage props should mark the positions of Liang Shuang and the others.
Less than half a day after Xu Huo entered the maze, he encountered more than ten players, six of whom died. This is already a high proportion of the total number of people. According to the rules given in the game, such a high number Encounter rate, in the second half of the game, the remaining players can only rely on repeatedly touching the wall to get cards.
Still the same problem, cards cannot be circulated this way.
One of the joys of the poker maze is that you can constantly replace different cards to obtain changed copy information. The cards cannot be circulated. What fun is there in this game? In ten days, even if you touch it, you should reach the end... …So there should be more than fifty-four players in the maze.
Only players can circulate poker cards.
In addition, although there are fifty-four playing cards displayed at the starting point, the specific number of playing cards is not clearly mentioned in the dungeon background and game rules. It is unknown whether this has changed due to the dungeon upgrade.
However, if the number of people in the dungeon is more than fifty-four, it does not make much difference whether it is one set of cards or two sets of cards, because the players who came first will quickly make up for the cards in the returning dungeon.
In fact, it is not difficult to verify his speculation. One is to count heads, and the other is to look at repeated cards.
Of course, the more cards a player can see means more cards will be randomly eliminated, and the chance of getting duplicate cards is also higher.
The specific situation will only be seen at that time.
According to the direction given by the clue card, Xu Huo walked towards the end of the maze while triggering the mechanism on the wall of the maze.
After the white card 9 is randomly removed, the effect of Mutated Plant Friendly is gone, but the probability of opening a trap is still very high. In addition, there are some insignificant effects such as "advance 100 meters" and "retreat 100 meters".
After half a day, Xu Huo randomly picked a place to rest, and simply replenished his strength before setting off. However, in the next few hours, he did not meet anyone, nor did he find the passage corresponding to his first card. He found the passage for Black Card 9 - this was the second passage he encountered.
The hiking process was very boring, so during the process, he made a plant collection for the plants in the maze wall and took photos of the moments when they came out of the wall.
All kinds of strange plants are also part of the scenery in the poker maze.
At night, there is no lighting in the maze. Some plants that move in the dark are obviously more sneaky than during the day. They will appear in unexpected places from time to time. Some even grow out of the maze wall in patches, disguised as inconspicuous grass. There will be no reaction when you walk in at first, but they will attack when people let down their guard. The attack method is not violent, and most of them are touched casually. Most of these plants are poisonous.
In some places, mushrooms even grow that have an attractive aroma and look particularly delicious.
Xu Huo picked some and planned to feed the king's bacteria.
After walking for less than an hour in a completely dark environment, a huge plant ball was blocked in the passage. It was about twenty meters high. There was a very compact ball in the middle, and there were some slime-laden balls on the edges. Vines fall to the ground or hang from the maze walls.
There was someone inside, and at the same time, Xu Huo's linkage props showed signs of his companions.
Xu Huo threw a stone at it and asked, "Are you asleep?"
Wrapped in the plant ball was a large round prop, and soon a high-pitched voice came from inside, "Old Xu, it's you!"
It's Jiang Zifeng.
"Why are you staying in the ball?" Xu Huo asked, standing ten meters away.
"Haha! Bad luck, I thought the passage I found was a shortcut, but I didn't expect that there were traps everywhere and I was surrounded... It was already dark anyway, so I planned to wait until tomorrow morning. Anyway, these mutated plants count. You can help me guard the door for free." Jiang Zifeng said cheerfully.
"Is your first card a black card 9?" Xu Huo raised his eyebrows.
"How do you know that you also saw that passage?" Jiang Zifeng said: "If I had known you were nearby, I wouldn't have left. We can also study the mushrooms here. I just picked a lot of them, and they look delicious. …”
"Aren't you going to come out?" Xu Huo asked, "Isn't it too tiring to talk through a wall?"
"Come out now!" Jiang Zifeng responded, and several arc-shaped rays of light flashed from the plant ball. The big ball broke into several petals and fell to the ground feebly, followed by a pungent-smelling liquid spurting out from the center. , the mutated plants wrapped nearby quickly retracted from the wall.
Jiang Zifeng put away the watering can, clapped his hands, and chuckled, "I bought this high-end herbicide specially. It's very effective against this thing!"
Xu Huo saw that he was unharmed, "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet. I ate some snacks on the way and I'm not hungry, but I'm almost done now." Jiang Zifeng said, taking out his kitchen utensils and a bag of brightly colored mushrooms, and said with gleaming eyes: "I used to I’ve always wanted to try whether eating poisonous mushrooms can really make you see hallucinations, but the medical level in my hometown is not good, and eating 80% of them will kill you. It’s so convenient to be a gamer. I can’t do anything with ordinary poisonous mushrooms!”
Xu Huo admired his courage to taste poison, "What's the difference between poisonous mushrooms and ordinary mushrooms?"
Jiang Zifeng thought about it seriously, "There's not much difference. It's just that it's very exciting when I eat it. I don't know which bite will cause the poison. I was a little worried when I first ate it. Later I felt that it felt pretty good and interesting. How about that?" Do you want to try it too?"
After he finished speaking, he took out the props to test the toxicity of the mushrooms. Only those with no more than 50% toxicity detected by the instrument would be put into the pot.
The water in the electronic pot boiled and turned into an indescribable color as the mushroom pigment oozed out. The smell was quite sweet.
"I finally understand. Any rules in the dungeon that don't clearly state the benefits are deceptive." Jiang Zifeng took a bottle of wine and poured a glass for himself and Xu Huo. "I got a clue on the wall that explained the end point. Direction, as a result, after coming out of the passage, I walked farther and farther."
Xu Huo clinked glasses with him and said, "Then how are you sure that the clues you got are true?"
