Chapter 287 Bell Tower and Town
Chapter 287 Bell Tower and Town
"Yes!" Luo Xi nodded: "Using the ticket to explore the other end of the route is inevitable."
"Then I suggest we act separately. Although it is dangerous, it is the most efficient." An Zhiyan said in a flat tone.
Luo Xi naturally knew that she was right.
Now that all route branches of the first node have been explored, the next step is to explore them one by one.
There is no problem for An Zhiyan to act alone, as she temporarily possesses [Absolute Reason] and [Werewolf's Curse]. Luo Xi can bring the Mad Lion with him, and the two of them together have hexagonal-level strength, able to attack or defend.
The only problem may lie with Hao Xiuwen.
"Let me act alone?" He was obviously a little afraid.
Hao Xiuwen was not the type of person who was brave enough to explore, otherwise, he would not have opened a card shop and lived a lazy life.
Being dragged into the 'Fairy Tale Town' was a last resort, as he was clearly not suitable for this kind of high-intensity, high-difficulty level scenario.
"No matter how difficult the environment is, you must face it with the mentality of a player, optimistic, brave and fearless." Luo Xi ignited Hao Xiuwen's enthusiasm and dispelled his concerns and timidity with just one sentence from "The Player's World".
Of course, [bewitchment] also played a role here.
For Luo Xi, playing with other people's minds is what he is best at.
"The watchdog is still very strong." Luo Xi was telling the truth.
For people who recall memories or dangers under normal circumstances, the watchdog is fully capable of handling them.
"I understand. Gaming is the highest realm for players." Hao Xiuwen nodded.
Although he is lazy and likes a lazy lifestyle, it doesn't mean he is stupid. On the contrary, he is a smart man. He has figured out the current situation. If he continues to play badly, Luo Xi will definitely give up on him with his personality.
If he wants to escape from Fairy Tale Town and return to his cozy little shop, he can only rely on Luo Xi.
So he had to get in Luo Xi's car whether he wanted to or not.
It's like being forced into something.
"An Zhiyan, heal his wounds." Luo Xi said at this time.
Before, An Zhiyan tried her best to hide her ability, but she certainly couldn't hide this from Luo Xi, so she took out a [Healing] card and healed Hao Xiuwen's injuries.
"Let's agree on the code rules. At least they should include 'destination', 'route' and 'exit'. In addition, each person must have a specific code mark to prevent others from misleading in the same way. There must be others who have used the 'code' method before, so it is also to prevent different codes from being confused with each other."
"Also, as for understanding digital tickets, you can temporarily think of them as numbers of different node docks. Little Red Riding Hood is the initial node of the fairytale town. Assume that the dock here is numbered 0. From here, you can reach three different node docks, corresponding to 123. In theory, you should be able to get a ticket with the number '0' at any of these three nodes. So if you get this kind of 'return ticket', you can choose to return to the previous node dock in case of danger or accidents. But I don't recommend doing this unless you encounter special circumstances."
"One more thing, try to avoid death, because I suspect that after death, you will only be reborn in the cemetery of node 0, and your memory of exploring the fairy tale town will be erased. There is nothing else. Do you have any additions?"
"Yes!" Hao Xiuwen raised his hand: "What if we find the exit to leave Fairy Tale Town?"
"This is what I mean by a special situation. No matter who you are, go back to the previous node and wait for others at the dock."
"How long?"
"That's hard to say for sure. If you encounter a special situation and can't wait any longer, use the code rules we agreed on to mark the exit and the corresponding route number. Then, you can leave on your own first."
"Understood!"
An Zhiyan said at this time: "If you meet a suitable player, can you include him? After all, the more people there are when exploring the route, the better the effect. And we can't rule out that someone has already thought of a similar method, or they are also exploring the route. After all, using existing resources can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"Okay, but you guys should handle this matter on your own. Don't reveal the existence of other members or the code rules."
"I understand. This is the safest way. I have no problem with it."
"Well, let's distribute the tickets now." Luo Xi took out three tickets. They all looked like they had a white base with numbers written on them as if in blood.
"Lin Qiqi used ticket No. 2, and I need to meet up with her, so I will choose route No. 2. There is another reason. Ticket No. 2 is the easiest to obtain, and I will need to get one for Crazy Lion later." Luo Xi was the first to express his opinion, but he also knew that compared to tickets No. 1 and 3 which were more difficult to trigger, ticket No. 2 had the least chance of pointing to the correct route.
At the same time, it may also be the most dangerous one.
"I was the one who triggered ticket No. 1, so I'll take this one." An Zhiyan was not polite either.
"Then I don't need to choose, number 3 is mine." Hao Xiuwen was a little helpless.
But Ticket No. 3 was really destined to be with him. After all, they had been in the belly of the same wolf, so they could be considered "brothers in distress". In that case, let's continue this fate.
"Go catch Little Red Riding Hood first!"
Four people and a dog first went to capture a "Little Red Riding Hood". This was not a difficult task for them.
After exchanging another No. 2 ticket from the forest merchant, he started to rush to the dock.
Here, the location of the pier is also fixed. Although it is not easy to find, Luo Xi had already memorized the route. At the beginning, he rode Doudou around, which obviously brought him a lot of advantages. Compared with many other "players" here, some of them still don't know the location of the pier.
We arrived safely without any danger along the way.
On the river full of strange fish of various colors, the dock is quiet, the boats are rising and falling, and the boatman seems to be standing there forever, waiting for passengers to get on board.
"Good evening, please show me your ticket."
Seeing several people approaching, the boatman, who was wrapped in bandages and wearing a gray suit, greeted them politely.
Luo Xi and his friends took out their tickets. Now, they were very curious, how could a small boat sail on three routes?
Soon, their curiosity was satisfied.
After paying the tickets, the boatman let them get on the boat and then stood in front of the only cabin door of the boat.
"Please enter separately. Don't worry, my ship is very stable, efficient and convenient. You won't even feel tired from the journey."
The boatman was very enthusiastic.
Luo Xi and Kuang Shi stepped forward, both of them using ticket number 2.
"Luo Xi!" Just before Luo Xi entered the door, An Zhiyan behind him suddenly spoke.
The former looked back.
"If Lin Qiqi dies, can I take her place?" She asked the question again.
This time, Luo Xi gave her a positive answer.
Then he walked into the wooden door, followed by Crazy Lion. After the door was closed, the small cabin fell into silence, but it was not completely dark, as there was an oil lamp lit. Almost the next second, the wooden door was opened, and outside, the boatman smiled and said, "We have arrived at our destination, please get off the boat."
"So fast?" Crazy Lion was completely stunned.
He felt that as soon as he got on the boat, the other party asked him to get off.
Can this ship fly?
But the problem is that it is impossible to fly that fast.
When the two men came out, the boat was still the same small boat, but the dock was different.
The environment in the distance was also different. It was no longer a dark and deep forest, but a small town.
Two completely different places. Although the sky here looks a little dark because of the dark clouds, it is not night, but rather afternoon, close to dusk.
Of course, An Zhiyan and Hao Xiuwen are not here.
When Luo Xi got off the boat, he took a look at the river full of colorful strange fish.
“Is it just decoration?”
The so-called route is more like a meaningless setting. The same setting can also be applied to "stations" or other things, such as buses, horse-drawn carriages, and rickshaws.
The reason for choosing the river and the boat may really be just based on the scene designer's preference, or simply bad taste.
Luo Xi looked around and found a mark on the side of a wooden pile on the dock.
There are many marks on the wood here, but if you expect a specific mark, it is still easy to distinguish.
At the dock, there were a few "memory collectors" dressed in special attire.
They were dressed in tattered linen clothes that were obviously of exotic style, but they were physically strong. In addition, their identities could be easily identified from the rings on their fingers, and it was obvious that these people were waiting to board the ship.
Sure enough, not all the people who were trapped in the fairy tale town were the kind who just lay down. Many of them were also trying to find ways to escape from here.
"Please wait a moment." Luo Xi saw that these people who recalled memories had no desire to talk, so he decided to take the initiative.
If we can get some information from them, it will definitely save more time than doing it ourselves.
"Is there something?" These few people who recalled memories were obviously a small group. They acted together and communicated with the outside world. Only one person responded, and there was a wary look in their eyes, revealing their "suspicion" and "distrust" without any disguise.
"We two just arrived. Can you tell us where this place is?" Luo Xi looked at the brick and stone floor of the dock and the surrounding town. In the distance, there seemed to be the shadow of a clock tower.
However, it doesn't look very real.
Judging from the appearance, it is difficult to infer which "fairy tale" scene this is.
"Okay, what do you want to exchange?" the other party asked coldly.
"Is [Memory] okay?" Luo Xi asked deliberately.
It was obvious to see the sneers and disdain on the faces of these other people.
“What a newcomer!”
"We don't want [Memory], two spell and creature cards, which can tell you where this place is and some precautions. Also, we don't want [Mana] and [Resentment]. They are worthless." It was obvious that this was not the first time the other party had done this kind of intelligence and news business.
Appears very sophisticated.
But it's really a scam, as you have to exchange spell and creature cards for just a little information.
The other party is obviously asking for too much.
"It's too expensive, can it be cheaper? Besides, I have some food cards." Luo Xi seemed very patient.
For him, even if it was nonsense, he could still obtain some information.
The art of language lies in speaking.
It doesn't matter what the other person says.
