Abnormal paradise

With the announcement of the assessment content, the sightseeing bus also arrived at the terminal station - "Manor No. 1", a low villa standing on the edge of the forest.

The Sunflower driver brushed his face, and the sightseeing car slowly stopped in the open space in front of the villa under the watchful eyes of the Pea guards. As soon as the car stopped, the Piranha tour guide couldn't wait to jump out of the car, waved his rattan arms, and called the players to the villa.

"The farmer knows why you are here, so he decided to open up this forest that you are so interested in." The Piranha Tour Guide licked his lips and shook his head with the radio, "But you are destined to work in vain. Because those people behind you are just suspicious, and what they care about does not exist at all. We, the entity derivatives, live in the manor every day, and no matter what the trouble is, we cannot escape our perception. How can you outsiders possibly Know something that even we don’t know?”

"What are you talking about?"

The driver of Sunflower was a little impatient. He looked at his withered face in the rearview mirror and said angrily: "Send the person in quickly and get it over with! I have been having insomnia for no reason recently. I want to ask the gardener. Is it a psychological problem?"

The Piranha tour guide waved his hand, immediately opened the door to the villa, and sent the players in. Then he returned to the sightseeing car, looked at the lush forest, and suddenly sighed: "Hey, have you ever felt that the [Dark Curtain Forest] has turned dark? ?”

The Sunflower driver gave it a strange look: "Why are you becoming suspicious? Well, let's find the gardener together and talk about psychological issues."

Puff puff……

Exhaust gas spurted out, and the sightseeing car restarted and drove around the villa into the distance.

…

Players who entered the villa immediately discovered the difference between the two trials.

That is, the player names will automatically appear and float above their heads.

The three players accompanying Ember are [Dandian Doudou], [Yue Zhaoshui] and [Not Sword Immortal].

The border of [Not a Sword Immortal] is outlined in silver, indicating his identity as a senior player. From the conversation with the master brother, Yuan Jin knew that the other party was composed of this [Not a Sword Immortal] and another senior player. The well-known "Not Jianghu" trio in "Titans".

Obviously, Not Sword Immortal also learned the news about Ember from the master brother, but now was not a good time to talk, so the two just looked at each other and nodded.

Bang bang bang!

In the quiet corridor deep in the villa, there was a sound that was either applause or footsteps. The four players held their breath and watched a white-haired old man with a striking mechanical arm slowly appear.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is the farmer and I am the owner of this manor."

The white-haired old man's left eye glanced at the players, and the light of data flow flashed in his pupils, instantly confirming the players' identities.

"I don't care what those old guys behind you have discovered. Since they want to find out, I will satisfy their curiosity." The white-haired old man raised his mechanical right arm and tapped his temple. "But you have to remember, this is a manor, and I don't want to see anyone go against my will."

Because the appearance of the farmer was so different from what was expected, and the manor was too weird, the players hurriedly nodded in agreement.

The white-haired old man snorted, his expression unchanged, turned around and walked towards the corridor, gesturing for the players to follow.

The light in the corridor is dim, because outside the window is an extremely dense black forest, and almost no sound can be heard in the forest, so this corridor reveals a heart-stopping desertion.

"Although I don't welcome uninvited guests like you to come into contact with [Dark Veil Forest], I can't say anything more as the matter is at this point. It just so happens that there are a lot of damn bugs in the forest recently. If you don't want to be punished for returning without success, Then just clean up some bugs and earn some rewards. Anyway, the results of this sightseeing trip will also be included in your assessment record."

[Tip: Do you accept the mission "Pest Cleaning"? 】

…

Task name: [Cleaning up pests]

Requirement: Kill the Shadow Eater

Reward: Credits

Introduction: The Dark Curtain Forest is located in the core area of ​​the manor. Although this forest will not breed powerful physical derivatives, thanks to the dark curtain, the animals and plants in the forest will not be intruded by powerful enemies. However, the thick darkness that permeates the forest often breeds shadow-eating insects that destroy vegetation, and needs to be cleaned regularly to prevent the ecological environment of the dark forest from being affected. Now, you and your fellow travelers can take advantage of this opportunity and earn some extra money.

[Tip: This task is a cyclic task. If the number of shadow-eating bugs cleared reaches ten, you can exchange for credit points at the initial location or forest supply. 】

[Tip: Shadow-eating insects refer to insect entity derivatives bred by the Dark Curtain, and are not a specific species. 】

…

accept!

Going on a business trip and making some extra money, Yi Yan has no reason to refuse such a good thing, and the same goes for other players.

Seeing that the players all agreed to his request, the farmer's expression relaxed slightly. He led everyone through the increasingly dimmed corridor and came to a dark iron door.

Squeak...

When the door opened, the players suddenly realized that it was actually dark.

"The corridor just passed through the edge of the Dark Forest. What you see now is the scene inside the forest." The farmer pointed to the dense trees next to the gate. "The forest area is almost blocked by trees. If you want to get out of here, The only way to leave half of the area is through this corridor, and it took me a lot of effort to open it up."

The players looked at the sky and the ground, only to feel a sense of depression coming over them. The visibility was only ten meters at most, which reminded Yi Ember of the experience of the endless stairs. Fortunately, there were no pits or dark curtains on the ground where the corrosive black liquid had gathered. The concentration isn't that serious either.

"Since you were not invited by me, I will not provide you with free help."

The farmer stamped his foot on the ground, and the sound of gold and iron made the players realize that his left leg was also made of machinery. Following the farmer's movements, a tree next to the gate suddenly opened its mouth and yawned. Two sleepy eyes stared blankly at everyone present.

"Sober up, it's time to work." The farmer said angrily, and then pointed to the big tree and said to everyone, "Although the physical derivatives of the Dark Veil Forest are basically in a juvenile state, at your current level, you are still Your life will be in danger. If you still have credits left, you can buy some plant companions from it, and you can also buy other things from the supply center in the forest."

After saying that, the farmer turned and walked towards the gate. Just as he was about to cross the threshold, he turned around and said, "I forgot to tell you that this manor does not entirely belong to me. If you go too deep, you may encounter the shepherd boy." ] People coming over there, please be careful. Although the other side is cooperating with the foundation, you represent the face of the foundation. If you lose miserably in the newcomer competition, you will not only lose your own. Face."

The farmer's figure disappeared completely, leaving the players looking at each other. Only then did they realize that they were not the only ones taking this assessment.

However, they were surprised, so the players immediately came to the big tree to see what good things they could buy here. The credits had just been obtained, and everyone hoped to have a happy purchase.

[Tip: The Strange Tree Store is open, and you can use the foundation’s credit points for consumption. 】

Ember couldn't wait to check the purchase list, and then he heard a sigh in his ears: "It's so expensive! The third-level pea shooter actually costs 2,000 credits. Including flower pot fertilizers and miscellaneous things, it takes a total of 3,000 credits to get it. I only gave you 1,600 credits in the last dungeon, what about you?"

The player who spoke was called [Dandian Doudou], a young man.

However, his inquiry did not receive any response. It was not that the Sword Immortal was as cold as the master brother. Yue Zhaoshui was concentrating on checking the list. After thinking about it, Yi Jin still did not tell the news that he had obtained 3,200 points of credit. Instead, pay attention to the sales request.

…

[Elementary Pea Shooter]: Fires a pea every three seconds, with weak attack power and extremely far attack range. It takes ten minutes to grow and sells for 500 credits.

[Level 2 Pea Shooter]: Fires two peas every three seconds, with weak attack power and extremely far attack range. It takes twenty minutes to grow and sells for 1,000 credits.

[Level 3 Pea Shooter]: Shoots four peas every three seconds, with weak attack power and extremely long attack range. It takes 40 minutes to grow and sells for 2,000 credits.

[Pea Petri Dish]: A necessary container for cultivating pea shooters, 100 credit points for the first level, 200 credit points for the second level, and 300 credit points for the third level.

[Sunlight, Moisture, and Fertilizer Batteries]: Important ingredients for cultivating pea shooters. Each battery can shorten the growth time by one-tenth and help plants grow normally. It can be used after being inserted into a pea petri dish. 100 credits for level one, and 100 credits for level two. Level 150 credits, Level 3 200 credits.

…

There is only one plant companion and matching module on the sales list, but they are clearly divided into three levels.

Ember did the math and found that his 3,200 credit points were more than enough to win the top peashooter. But the problem was that the forty minutes of growth time was too long. During this period, he might be under a lot of pressure. He might even be eliminated.

Thinking of this, Ember changed his mind and directly spent 900 credits to get the junior pea shooter and training set. Then he saw a prompt that gave him a toothache.

[Tip: You purchased the seedlings of the plant entity derivative "Junior Peashooter". This plant coexists with the "Dark Veil Forest" and cannot be taken out of this assessment space. 】

I paid for it, but I can't take it out?

Profiteer!

If his three thousand two hundred credit points were wasted, there would really be no place to cry!

But then again, what if all the credits are invested?

Will it make a beautiful splash?
