Chapter 113: Rotten wood cannot be carved
Chapter 113: Rotten wood cannot be carved
Follow the puppet forward ten squares.
The entire castle was shaking violently.
The players in the room also felt the strong vibration.
They all walked out of their rooms.
"earthquake?"
"No way? There will be earthquakes in the dungeon?"
"Let's quickly collapse this damn place!"
"Why do I feel this vibration is so familiar?"
“It does feel very familiar.”
……
They noticed that the position of the puppet had changed.
From the 31st frame at the beginning, go directly to the 41st frame.
Seeing this, all the players were very surprised.
After all, before, only after the dice were rolled could the puppet continue to move forward according to the numbers.
Or perhaps the events in the grid require the puppet to keep moving forward before he can move forward.
Why did the puppet move forward again without rolling the dice this time?
They all asked, "What happened just now?"
"Why did the puppet move forward so much?"
"It's obviously not time to roll the dice yet!"
"Is there any big brained guy who can explain what's going on?"
"Alas... it's a pity that the game geek boss is gone, otherwise he would definitely know what's going on."
……
They don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
If it were before, they would definitely think this was a good thing.
After all, as long as the puppet reaches the 99th grid, they have a chance to win the game and leave the copy.
But, the game otaku told them before.
Even if the puppets reached the ninety-ninth grid, they would not be able to get out alive.
The chosen one is actually dead.
Moreover, what he said was well-reasoned and convincing.
But what makes them feel regretful is.
The game geek exposed this lie, but failed to bring them new hope.
He stayed on the so-called welfare floor of the Gopher's Treasure Cave.
The strong die in the most unlikely places.
Such a low probability event happened to me personally.
However, there are two people in the mind of the station god and the anxiety patient.
Still have great hope.
They think that game geeks won't die so easily.
A guess came out of the mouth of an anxiety patient: "Do you think there is a possibility that the noise this time was caused by a game geek?"
……
……
Su Ming walked in the tunnel dug by the gopher.
Unhurried and calm, just like taking a relaxing walk by the lake after dinner.
He muttered, "Well, the rules will compensate the puppet and move him forward ten squares to the 41st square."
"So, the grid I want to go to is the 43rd or 46th floor."
"The road on the 43rd floor is easier to navigate, so let's go to the 43rd floor."
……
He doesn't have eyes like a puppet that can remotely monitor the player's movements.
But he knew exactly what the puppet's current situation was.
Although the puppets are the natives and locals here.
But he, a foreigner, had died in the castle countless times and was much more familiar with the rules than the puppet.
If the outsiders didn't understand these things, how could they, who were outnumbered, defeat the indigenous puppets?
He kept moving through the passage.
Every turn was made without hesitation.
The cornering process is silky smooth.
So skilled that he is like a speed runner who has developed muscle memory through being tortured in some games.
After turning a total of sixty-one turns.
He finally came to the end of a passage.
"Well, this is the 43rd floor."
He kicked the passage open again.
Walking out of the passage, this floor is a huge library.
Every bookshelf was filled with books.
Su Ming looked at the bookshelf closest to him.
The books on this bookshelf tell us how to have a happy childhood.
It’s just that the title on the spine is a little distorted:
《REMAKE！》
"Lucky Body"
"Don't bully the poor young people!"
The War of the Sexes
Home with Kids
"A Steadfast Heart"
Self-Deception
Redefining "Happiness"
……
The books on this bookshelf are used as markers.
Su Ming determined his position in the library.
Because of the instability of the loophole, the location of the floor it leads to is also uncertain.
The 43rd floor covers a very large area.
It is equivalent to the combined area of libraries of hundreds of universities.
It's not easy to find a coin here.
He walked through several bookshelves of similar style in order.
These include:
How to survive a happy student life.
How to live a happy career despite the hardships.
How to have a happy marriage.
How to live a happy middle-aged life.
……
At last.
He came to a bookshelf.
The name of this bookshelf is: How to Die and Live a Happy Old Age.
He pulled out a thick book titled "Retirement Tomorrow" from the bookshelf.
I opened the book and a cloud of mist floated out of it.
Finally, an old monkey with gray hair, wrinkles on his face and wearing reading glasses was formed.
The old monkey stretched his waist and yawned loudly: "Who is disturbing the rest of an old man like me?"
"I'm going to retire tomorrow, so why are there still jobs coming to me?"
Su Ming: "You probably can't retire now."
The old monkey pushed his reading glasses and said helplessly: "The closed disciple makes me worry, it is really difficult to retire!"
"Even though I'm dead, I still have to clean up that kid's ass."
There was no need for Su Ming to explain, the old monkey seemed to have understood everything long ago.
He stood with his hands behind his back and narrated: "The puppet was originally a rotten dead wood."
"There was a skilled carpenter who carved him into a puppet."
“As the carpenter’s best friend, I was there at the time.”
"I also tried to persuade the carpenter to use a good piece of wood to carve. He had plenty of wood anyway, so why use this rotten piece of wood?"
"The carpenter told me that only in this way can he show the excellence of his craftsmanship."
"Carving good puppets out of good wood does not show his skill."
"Carving a rotten wood into a fine puppet shows his skill in turning decay into something magical."
"As a result, right after he finished carving the puppet, he had a heart attack and died on the spot."
"As the carpenter's best friend, I can only accept his last wish and guide this puppet onto the right path so that it can become a good puppet."
"Under my arrangement, everything went smoothly."
“Pinocchio embarked on an adventure, made many good friends along the way, gained love, and earned fame and fortune.”
"I thought that such a smooth and happy life would definitely produce a good puppet!"
"I have accomplished this, and I will be able to explain myself to my old friend the carpenter after I die."
"But there's one thing I didn't realize until the puppet killed me."
“Even though the puppet looks perfectly normal on the surface, his heart has long been corrupted by greater desires.”
"It's hard to carve a rotten tree!"
"I really regret not bringing quick-acting heart pills with me and not saving that stupid carpenter!"
The old monkey looked heartbroken and full of regret.
If that stupid carpenter had been rescued, he would have retired and enjoyed his old age.
