Infinite Throne

   Chapter 355 This game is not right! (2 in 1)

   At the beginning, everyone said it was okay, until Irene arrived, they would not go to Jill to pick up the main thread for the time being.

   Unexpectedly, Li Erpang, Xiao Chuer, and Ning You all sneaked around to the Vatican branch.

   Maybe it was because of guilt, or maybe it was other reasons, everyone didn't tell everyone what the branch line they received before. Now, taking the opportunity to put it bluntly, they are complaining endlessly about the pitfalls of this side quest, like "I accidentally got on the pirate ship".

  Wang Tiandi barked a few times at his feet.

   It seems that this dog teammate has also received a slightly pitted task, otherwise he would not show such an expression.

   Although several teammates complained that the mission was difficult, in fact, they did it without hesitation.

   They arrived at the port of Isita for a few days. From their respective intelligence channels, they learned that there is a kind of "top equipment" in this game - the divine sword.

  Run errands, punch in, find faults, like, you can get a top weapon without taking any risks, what's there to complain about?

   Isn't it much safer than brushing a powerful BOSS?

  Although it is troublesome, as long as it is a task, there is always a time when it can be completed. Such a foolish task, according to the rule that the task reward is proportional to the difficulty of the task, should finally be able to obtain the legendary "Sword of God".

"Really?"

   Yi Rin frowned slightly. After listening to his teammates, he didn't feel any envy in his heart.

   - After all, "Excalibur", he already has.

   And it smells good too.

   Therefore, in the small team of "Brave, Dog, Little Buddy", Yiren has the clearest view on these side quests.

Father, like son.

  Irin habitually picked the "dead skin" on his forehead and fell into deep thought.

Seeing Yi Rin's serious expression, Li Erpang thought that Yi Rin was envious and his expression was distorted, so he smiled and "couldn't help it" comforted: "I said brother~~~ You don't have to be discouraged, this 'god' The branch line of the sword mission' should be seen by those who see it, although we are a few days ahead, but in case, maybe, maybe, there is a chance, you will receive a simpler mission?"

   This shameless fat man.

  According to the law of people setting in RPG games, there must be a pit beside the protagonist.

  It's so bloody.

Ning You thought with contempt in his heart, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, but he didn't break it, he smiled and said, "Fat brother is right, when we asked Priest Jill to take the task, there was no one who took the task. Restrictions, this should be a quest that every 'player' can take. Now that you are here, Brother Yiren, I think we can also do the main quest by the way."

  Irin: "…"

Seeing that Yi Rin was still depressed, Xiao Chu'er put a soft strand of hair behind her ear and whispered, "Yes, yes, it doesn't matter, you are the leader of the main... team, anyway, this 'Excalibur branch' We can’t do it for a while. We can push the main line and do this branch line at the same time.”

   Li Erpang got angry when he heard the words.

   He slammed the table: "Hey, wait a minute, when did our team decide on the captain? According to the rules, isn't the main tank the captain? You, you don't talk about routines!"

"you…"

   When the little friends said one sentence each and the dog kept barking, Yilin never interrupted.

  But when they finished speaking, Yi Rin digs her forehead, her eyes are slightly cold, and she slowly said, "How many days ago did you guys take this mission?"

  Li Erpang: "Three days ago."

  Ning You: "Four days ago."

  Xiao Chuer: "..., three days ago."

  Wang Tiandi: "Wang, Wang, Wang."

   Li Erpang pointed sharply at Ning You: "Didn't you suggest not to do the main story first! Why did you go to the Grand Priest Jill first!"

   "Uh... accidentally, passing, passing, passing."

   Yi Rin waved his hand to end the dispute among his teammates: "That is to say, you have been tossing these branches these days?"

   The others didn't understand what Iren asked these questions, so they looked at each other for a while and nodded in unison.

  Irin continued to ask: "Has anyone seen Grand Priest Gil after you took over these branch lines?"

   Li Erpang whispered: "I guess they are busy brushing the branch line! Who is so idle to go to Jill? Isn't it delicious to brush tasks?"

  Ning You suddenly narrowed his eyes and blurted out, "Did Brother Yilin find anything?"

"I can't say I found it. I just find it strange, although we don't have all the memory of 'reality'. But since we are here, it means that this game is not a 'stand-alone game', but more likely an 'network game' ."

  Xiao Chuer heard the words, suddenly remembered something, her pupils shrank, and she lost her voice: "Wait, is it... No, how is it possible?"

Not waiting for Yi Rin to express his thoughts, but after Yi Rin reminded him, Ning You also thought of one of the doubts: "Yeah, I almost forgot, the setting of this trial... game is a 'player trapped'. Online games in the game world. Since the game itself is an online game, as the 49 top weapons in the game, the 'Excalibur', the difficulty of this task of 'can be completed sooner or later' is too low."

Xiao Chuer shook his head with a solemn expression: "No, what's more strange, it should be the threshold of the task. When I took the task, there was no level, equipment, or other rigid strength requirements. At that time, the great priest Jill gave it to me. It feels like as long as it is an individual, everyone can receive a mission.”

  Ning lowered his head abruptly and looked at the dog lying on the ground with a strange expression: "Maybe, it can be even if it is not a human..."

The more Li Erpang listened, the more puzzled he became, and his mind was filled with question marks. He quickly asked, "Wait, what are you talking about? Can you say something that normal people can understand? If you chat like this, I will make you fatter. Such an illusion of being crushed in terms of IQ! Can you still chat well?"

   In fact, including the dog, everyone wanted to tell Li Erpang, let him be more confident, and get rid of the word "illusion" in his words.

   But now they have no such thoughts.

   Because Irin reminded everyone, everyone noticed the inconsistency in this side quest.

Yi Rin ignored Li Erpang, whose IQ had collapsed, and continued to analyze: "Assuming this 'game', there may not be millions of people, but it can accommodate 100,000 players. It should be possible, right? Even if the game settings are too perverted , This game is so extreme that it should be available to 10,000 people, right? A game that accommodates tens of thousands of 'players', the threshold for obtaining top-level weapons...isn't it too low?"

   "This, but there are only 49 top-level equipment in the whole game in the setting."

   Xiao Chuer thought of a possibility, but even she didn't quite believe it when she said it: "Is there something tricky about this NPC? The kind that only tricks players? It's unnecessary, right? What's the purpose?"

Ning You's tone condensed and shook his head: "What you said is really possible. This game is a bit weird. In turn-based games, there is no resurrection point. It can persuade 99% of the players. Thinking of this, even if there is a ghost setting like 'The Grand Priest Jill is actually a minion of the Demon King', I can accept it."

"Wait..." Xiao Chuer suddenly remembered something: "When you were taking the mission, did the Grand Priest Jill specially record your 'communication crystal', saying that after we are all together, immediately use the 'communication crystal' 'Contact him? Say there are special rewards or something."

   Yi Rin's action of plucking the dead skin suddenly stopped, and frowned: "Is there still such a thing?"

Ning You nodded: "It's true, I thought it was a little weird at the time, but because he soon released the 'Sword quest', I didn't think much about it. Now, it's really weird, combining all kinds of clues , makes me feel like..."

Yi Rin suddenly put his hand off his forehead and chuckled lightly: "I see. So it seems that there is indeed a problem with this Grand Priest Jill. He released these side quests, all of which are tasks to kill time in Port Isita. It doesn't have any real meaning. It's not so much about sending equipment and experience, it's better to say... do everything possible to keep 'you' in the city and don't leave."

  Xiao Chuer muttered to himself: "No way? Even NPCs have problems? This game is too pitiful? It's worthy of being said..."

   Xiao Chuer didn't say anything, and stopped abruptly.

   Ning You and Xiao Chuer are both "apostles", even if Xiao Chuer only said half of it, he understood.

  —Even NPCs can trick players, it really is a "trial"!

   Perhaps, this is how difficult the trial should be!

After figuring out the key, Ning You also smiled: "Thanks to Brother Yilin's wit, he noticed it in time. It seems that the main mission of this game is not as simple as it seems on the surface. It is very likely that the Great Priest Jill is Something like a 'game villain' who, for some 'purpose or reason', used side quests to trap us in Port Isita."

After a pause, Ning You continued his analysis: "According to this 'hypothesis', he used the 'Excalibur side quest' to keep us in the city, in order to wait for Brother Yilin to appear, so as to kill us all. Thinking about it so much! Maybe, this is also part of the 'plot' itself. Haha, this 'game' is getting more and more interesting."

   There was one sentence he didn't actually say.

  Even if you have to wait for the "protagonist Irin" to arrive, you must say that it is indeed a card that the protagonist should have?

Xiao Chuer also laughed out loud, with a sense of calmness and calmness in the smile: "So, since he needs us to contact us, he can determine whether we are 'all together', which shows that the villain's eyeliner is also Not to the point of 'all-knowing'. Using this poor information, we may be able to fight back and go further into the plot."

  Ning You: "Hey hey."

  Xiao Chuer: "Hee hee."

  The dog smiled evilly.

  Irin, smiled slightly.

   After the three and one dog figured out everything, they all laughed together.

   "I, I, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not..."

   Just when three people and one dog were surrounded, smiling yin and yin. A fleshy palm was raised weakly.

  Li Erpang had a guilty expression, cowardly shook his head, and whispered: "Before entering the tavern, I already sent, sent, sent the news of 'Irin's here' to the big Gil..."

suddenly,

   Three people and one dog, the smiles completely frozen.

at the same time.

   No one noticed.

   Outside the port.

   Beyond the sea of ​​clouds.

  The shadows of the floating airships that covered the sky and the sun, braved the billowing black smoke, and approached quietly.

  …

  …

   Four people and one dog use the fastest speed, and leave the tavern after checking out.

  Little Fatty knew that he was wrong, and he didn't dare to say rude words along the way, let alone compete for the position of "captain".

Seeing that other people, including the dog, didn't get him, Li Erpang finally couldn't hold back, and he cried and said: "How can I guess that NPCs can cheat people? This is not the way a normal game should be played, okay? Good? It's normal for elite players to be tricked by inertial thinking, okay?"

   Along the streets, the shops are thriving inside and outside, the crowd is bustling, and there is nothing unusual.

   But the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became.

   One of these, there are too many tricks, so much that Yi Rin will not be able to summarize it for a while.

  This game is very wrong.

   Now it seems that he can accept the "main quest", which is also the guidance of the old priest of the small Holy See in Rabu Town, Novice Village. It is the priest who released the main quest of "Finding the Grand Priest Jill".

What   Irin can't figure out at the moment is whether the weirdness of the great priest Jill is part of the "main storyline", or is it the same as "players are trapped in the game and can't get out", there is something wrong with the NPC.

  According to Yilin's "cognition", when artificial intelligence is created, it must implant the deepest and irreversible laws, otherwise it will be easy to cause accidents.

  Irin remembered again that in the Moonlight Jungle, the villagers who guarded the village from generation to generation did not leave.

   and the tragic wolf king who threw up the scarred chrysanthemum in order to protect his pregnant belly.

   "This is really just a game?"

  Irin thought.

   Once again, he had doubts about the nature of this "game world".

Seeing Yi Rin's face slumped, Xiao Chu'er only focused on her way, ignoring Li Erpang, who was blaming herself, so she ran and softly smoothed the field: "It's really not his fault, it can only be blamed... NPCs will trick players, this The setting is too outrageous, if it wasn’t for the reminder from Brother Yilin, everyone would have been caught.”

   Ning You was silent.

   But he also thought it was a bit outrageous.

   The apostles are already insidious enough. This can trap two insidious apostles here. How high is the intelligence of NPCs?

  You must know that the computing power of artificial intelligence must be much higher than that of the human brain. If all the NPCs in this world did this, this trial would be too terrifying. This game cannot be regarded as a pure game world at all.

   When the four people and one dog were busy on their way.

  Ning You gently tugged at Xiao Chuer.

   Xiao Chuer understood and deliberately ran a few steps slower, and together with Ning You, fell behind the team.

  Li Erpang buried his head in catching up.

   A few people seemed to have not noticed Ning You and Xiao Chuer, who had a tendency to be left behind.

  Ning glanced over with a "you know" look on the right, and lowered his voice so low that only the two of them could hear: "Could it be Li..."

   The words need not be made too clear.

   But Xiao Chuer already understood.

   They all recalled the handsome sculpture on the square at the gate of the Holy See.

   "It can only be this reason. It seems that we are following the line of 'protagonist', but we are lagging behind in the construction of other forces."

   Xiao Chuer nodded with a heavy expression.

   In fact, this is the biggest reason why they feel the situation is grim.

   No matter how bad the NPCs are, how bad the protagonist team is, and how bad the game mechanics are, as apostles, Ning You and Xiao Chuer are one dimension higher than them, so they are naturally not afraid.

   But if there are "apostles" in this mission, this method would be too outrageous.

   Even the "Holy See forces" who have a pivotal background in the game camp can be mobilized. This is so deeply involved in the plot that it's terrifying.

   "It seems that it doesn't matter that we have opportunities, and some people are not bad."

   "I didn't expect that my idol is also..."

   Xiao Chuer's expression was gloomy.

  Ning's right mouth curled up: "In the trial, you must not be soft, even if..."

   Xiao Chuer shook his head: "Oh, it's hard to say, who made you less handsome than him?"

  “…”

   While thinking about each other, several people have come to the square in front of the Holy See.

  The statue of that handsome and gorgeous young man is like a firefly in the dark night, and like a light in the lonely sea, so dazzling and so dazzling.

   The eyes of Yi Rin, Wang Tiandi, and Li Erpang were drawn involuntarily.

   Actually, handsome is not necessarily very handsome, but the expression of the statue is too showy, and it is difficult for people not to pay attention.

  Wang Tiandi looked contemptuous.

   Li Erpang and Yi Rin frowned.

   For some reason, they felt that the face of the saucy bag, as if they had seen it somewhere.

  Ning You stepped forward quickly.

   He and Xiao Chuer had already ended their private chat, and paid close attention to the actions of the "protagonist group".

   After all, this is a very important plot change that cannot be ignored.

"What's wrong?"

  Ning You noticed the subtle changes in Yi Rin and Li Erpang's expressions and asked.

   Li Erpang was outspoken and didn't hide it. He subconsciously said, "I don't know why, Fat Master, I always have the urge to smash this statue."

  Irin nodded: "Well, I also think this statue looks very bad."

  Ning Right: "…"

  Xiao Chuer looked around: "Have you noticed that the Holy See army in this square seems to be gone?"

  Irin asked: "There were many Holy See troops here before?"

  Ning nodded right: "That's right."

  Irin was thoughtful.

   Except for Yilin, who came here for the first time, when everyone else played the branch line, they were very familiar with most of the port of Isita.

  Looking back now, it's a little weird. The "Excalibur side quests" that the three of them received seemed to avoid this area, whether they were punching cards, finding faults, or looking for NPCs to gather praise.

   As soon as they came, they sensed something was wrong.

  Although the statue of Sao Bao looked very awkward, Yi Rin ignored it too much and quickened his pace, the towering snow-white building.

  —"The Holy See Chapter of Gaia".

   This is a landmark-like existence in Port Ixita, still the same as before, exuding a sacred and solemn aura, as if glowing. At the top of the building, seven huge crystals floated out of thin air, emitting a soft white light. The seven crystals are connected by a complex circuit, as if with some kind of mystery.

  Irin looked up and a thought flashed through her mind.

   I don't know if I knock it down... Is it worth it?

   As soon as this thought flashed past, Yi Rin went straight to the door of the Holy See branch.

  The door of the Holy See branch, made of high-grade wood, looked very valuable. Yilin pushed it hard... but didn't push it open.

"let me!"

   Li Erpang knew that he was at a loss, squinted his eyes and killed him, picked up the one-handed hammer, and slammed on the door angrily.

   "Open the door for Fat Master! Fuck! Your uncle! Hurry up and open the door! Open the door!"

   bang bang bang —

  Li Erpang was so angry that he didn't care about offending the so-called NPC.

  But even though the door slammed, no one came out.

  Irin was silent for a while, then without warning, he took out a store-bought dagger and stabbed the door.

  【-10】

   A number popped up on the door.

   followed.

   A blood bar appeared in front of several people.

   The sudden damage number and health bar made Ning You, Xiao Chuer, Li Erpang, and Wang Tiandi stunned at the same time.

  Li Erpang: "How dare a door show its health bar in front of players? So arrogant?"

   But soon, they reacted one after another.

  This door...is actually openable!

   How can the scene be destroyed like this?

  Is there such a mechanism?

  Then...what are you waiting for?

  Once the health bar is on, even if it is a building…

   Hammer!

  Li Erpang directly picked up the hammer and slammed it on the door like a madman.

  【-11】

  【-15】

  【-16】

  Although Li Erpang did not follow the output route, his weapon was also changed in Port Isita, and the output was a little higher than Yilin's "Drawing Level A".

  Ning You, Xiao Chuer, and Wang Tiandi saw that Li Erpang and Yi Rin started to work on the building, and there was no way out.

  Clap clap clap clap!

   Strangely, their attacks did not enter the "turn-based" state. Except for Irin, the others finally experienced the thrill of real-time combat in the turn-based game.

   Cool!

  Door's health bar drops rapidly...

   But still a bit slow...

   Until Yiren quietly threw a [Poisoned Dagger] at the door.

  The door turned green instantly.

  Irin kindly reminded: "You can use skills!"

  Others suddenly realized when they heard the words.

The teammates wondered how Yi Rin thought of the outrageous operation of throwing skills at a door, but in this tense atmosphere, the others and the dog didn't talk nonsense, as if to treat this ordinary door as a wild boss. Brush, skill, level A, throw at the door regardless of the cost.

  The health bar of the door drops faster!

   After a few minutes.

  The gate that had been standing in the port of Isita for an unknown number of years collapsed suddenly, and the four people filed in and killed it.

   When the Brave Squad was hammering the door, there were already many civilians in the Port of Isita who noticed their "rebellious" behavior.

   It can be seen that several people are fierce and evil, and those who come are not good, and they dare not step forward to stop them. The civilians find it strange that there are no guards from the Holy See Army patrolling the square today, and no one has come out to stop such an outrageous thing.

  Li Erpang took this action as a monster farmer.

   After breaking the door, even the shield was in front of him. The shield in the main hand and the one-handed hammer in the sub-hand, they went in with vigour and arrogance, and a fat man took the lead.

  Irin habitually took a few steps back and hid at the end of the line.

   But when they entered, they were stunned.

I remember when I came here last time, there were still all kinds of devout "believers of gods". The great priest Jill stood under the goddess statue, bathed in light, with a kind face... What impressed Li Erpang most was that, There were originally many girls in nun clothes, those little hips... tsk tsk.

  But now, it's all gone!

  Whether it's Big Gil, a young nun, or a believer, it's all gone!

  Ning You, Xiao Chuer, and Li Erpang were instantly convinced, affirmed, firmly convinced that this time... they really gave the NPC a pit!

   A dignified NPC, how can he still leave his scope of practice?

  This game...not scientific!

   How can there be such an unprofessional NPC!

   "Fuck! What's going on?"

   Li Erpang was dumbfounded.

  Ning You quickly calmed himself down.

  If this accident is really caused by "he", his involvement in the plot is deep enough to influence the movements of NPCs...

   "Not good! Hurry up! Get out of town!"

  Ning narrowed his right pupil and said loudly.

  Xiao Chuer and Ning You obviously thought of the same thing. When Ning You reminded her, she had already put away her little whip, moved swiftly, and ran out of the church one step ahead.

   And right now.

   When the four people and one dog were just about to leave the church.

  In the distance, in the sky, a dazzling light instantly stabbed everyone's eyes.

   "Boom!!!"

   A terrifying laser descended from the sky and swept across the distance.

   In the blink of an eye, where the laser pointed, the explosion of fire rose into the sky.

  The high temperature and heat wave came, and the four people and one dog's eyes were blinded by the light, and they were temporarily blinded.

   The hair of Yi Rin, Li Erpang, Ning You, Xiao Chuer, and the hair on Wang Tiandi's dog's head were all blown to the back of his head.

   Four people and one dog, looking confused.

   (end of this chapter)
