Life as a Landlord in Global Games

Chapter 12 The Road to Finding Cards (Part 2)

Deserted village, rainy night, knock on the door.

The three elements of this horror movie are almost overflowing.

Everyone present felt tense...except Zhao Ting.

He had never felt anything about things like Ah Piao. If there really was an Ah Piao, he really wanted to see what it was like.

“Tuk tuk tuk…”

The knocking on the door was like a certain established procedure, sounding continuously without stopping at all.

And I don't know if it was an illusion, but more and more water seemed to be pouring from the crack outside the door. And the sound of rain stopped completely.

It seemed that the only sound left in the world was the sound of knocking on the door.

Zhao Ting stood up suddenly, holding the jade leaf in his hand, and walked towards the door.

"Brother Zhao!"

The boy exclaimed in surprise, but gritted his teeth and followed, and was already ready to mobilize the water flow to attack who knows what outside.

"Just stand behind me, you don't have to follow me."

Zhao Ting smiled, then grabbed the door handle and pushed it hard——

"Squeak~"

The door moved slightly, but it was not pushed open. Instead, the knocking on the door seemed to become more and more urgent.

Everyone should know by now that something is wrong outside. Someone is already trying to persuade Zhao Ting not to try to open the door again.

It would be terrible if something "terrible" were introduced.

Zhao Ting hesitated for a moment and finally retracted his hand.

If he was the only one, he could try it, but with so many people, forget it.

He turned around and was about to go back to sit on the pile of wood when he suddenly heard a "squeak".

A cold wind mixed with rain suddenly blew from behind him, hitting his back.

"The spirit returns!"

Zhao Ting did not panic at all and said in a deep voice.

His special skill had been activated, and countless blue rays of light intertwined. In just a moment, a blue robe appeared on his body.

This is an application method of his skills. With the ability of water flow, almost all damage can be absorbed.

This ability to absorb damage is linked to his basic attributes. At this stage, as long as he doesn't encounter something particularly scary, he is confident that he can block it.

But, the next second.

Something cold and sharp touched his back.

At the same time, several figures wearing iron armor filed in and directly controlled everyone in the cave.

Zhao Ting watched as their hands and feet were tied up with chains one by one, and they were pulled out like animals.

Zhao Ting had not thought about resisting during this process, but the spear pressed against his back directly ignored his spiritual energy return shield. As long as the other party wanted to kill together, he would probably have to pray to be reincarnated into a good family in the next life.

.

Eventually, he was the only one left in the house.

"You turn around."

A cold voice sounded. He should be a man, but his voice sounded a bit immature. At most, he sounded like a little kid who had just changed his voice.

Zhao Ting turned around calmly and honestly raised his hand to show that he had no ill intentions.

But when he saw the person standing in front of him, he still felt quite speechless and confused.

This is a young general wearing black armor, but he is only as tall as Zhao Ting's chest.

He was holding a spear and had to lift it up to hit Zhao Ting right at the heart.

It's almost as funny as a child playing pretend.

But it's not cute at all.

The look in his eyes from under the armor was extremely cold, without any emotion at all.

The young general stared at Zhao Ting for a long time before signaling for Zhao Ting to follow him.

Zhao Ting naturally followed him obediently, because he felt that even from behind, it was impossible for him to escape. Because since he walked out of the wooden door, the scenery around him had changed.

There was still rain falling in the sky, but it had changed from the "Internet celebrity mud village" to a black land.

There is an endless black forest on this land, with pure black branches swaying in the wind. They look like ghosts in the dim sky.

What's more, the person in front of me...

It’s a level 90 monster!

【Guard of Anas】

【Giving Life·Creative Seed·Eternal Time】

[Level: Level 90]

[A fierce general who died in endless years was resurrected by great power and became its guardian. He possesses the martial arts skills and the great power he was given during his lifetime. Within the scope of the great will, he will not be harmed, and

You can use the power of time]

[PS: Please don’t provoke him, he can eat the mythical beast like a skewer!]

Level ninety!

Looking at the long list of instructions again, he suddenly became convinced.

He followed the young general obediently, secretly looking at the armor on his body, trying to detect any clues in the style of the armor.

This armor looks pure black, but it is actually decorated with golden textures in many places. There are also small hourglasses as decorations on the shoulders.

What can be seen in the hourglass is the endless circulation of golden quicksand.

"I have never seen this type of armor... Quicksand, is this his time power?"

Zhao Ting was thinking in his mind.

"If I break it..."

As soon as a bold idea came out, he killed it immediately.

It's really a joke. If you think about a level 90 monster, you can stab him to death with just one finger.

But as he moved forward, after a while, his eyes were attracted by a tall golden building.

This golden building is particularly eye-catching on the black earth. It unabashedly exudes brilliance and spreads its brilliance around.

When he walked to the building, Zhao Ting couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

There was no other reason. This building was the most unique building he had ever seen.

Its surface is made of light golden translucent crystal, but there are strange and exquisite patterns or scrolls every three meters on it.

Whether it is mountains, rivers, earth, the sun, moon, stars, or even the scenery in the universe, they are all perfectly engraved on the walls.

Moreover, these scenery are constantly changing, from birth to destruction, and from destruction to the next rebirth. It seems that there are countless time windows opened on this building.

"Go in and find Him."

The young general finally stopped. Although his tone was still cold, there was also a hint of expectation.

"My brothers and I have been exhausted from being guarded for so long. His blessings have also become a burden..."

He seemed to want to continue, but the sand in the golden hourglass on his shoulder began to flow crazily and turned black visibly to the naked eye.

"Well..."

He made a somewhat painful sound and covered his head for a while before returning to normal. But his tone also became cold again:

"Go in! If it doesn't work out, I welcome you and your friends to join us."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zhao Ting watched him walk away, and the doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger. But now that he was in front of him, as a senior RPG enthusiast, he would never let go of this incident that seemed to be a hidden plot.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and walked straight to the building.

Before he could test it, a golden light shot out from the building and swept him up.

Just fell into it.

…

Before coming in, Zhao Ting also imagined what it was like inside. But when he actually came in and saw it, he was speechless.

Because there was nothing like the gorgeous and extravagant interior of the temple that he had imagined.

There is only an endless sea of ​​golden sand here.

At least as far as he could see, there was only a sea of ​​golden sand.

The wind picked up the golden sand and rolled it wantonly in the sand sea. The golden sand revealed a hazy mist. The whole world was so magnificent that it was unreal.

"Does it look good?"

An indistinguishable voice suddenly came. Zhao Ting, who had expected it, was not frightened, but nodded:

"It's beautiful. Ordinary people can't see this kind of scene, right?"

"Of course, ordinary people have no chance to come here. You are invited to come here because you bring a breath of His familiarity."

The voice was filled with laughter, and following the voice, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Ting.

He... or should I say she?

The human figure in front of Zhao Ting has a perfect golden proportion body. Its skin is crystal clear and full. At first glance, it looks no different from a human being. But if you look closely, you can see the golden liquid flowing under its body.

Its face also has facial features divided by the golden ratio, but it also tends to be neutral. It should be no problem to call it handsome or beautiful.

"You came a little early... At this time, I don't know if you can bear the pressure."

The humanoid looked at Zhao Ting for a while, then stretched out his hand.

A seven-color card flew out from the boundless sea of ​​sand and landed in front of Zhao Ting.

There is only an hourglass on the card, and gold sand is slowly flowing in the hourglass.

【Troublesome time】

【Special·Colorful·Unique】

[After withstanding the test of the time flow, according to the current level, the following effects will be obtained:

①: Every seven natural days, you will have an opportunity to draw treasures from the boundless golden sea.

②: Your skills are equipped with a weak power of time, which will cause additional slowness or time-stopping effects on the enemy.

③: Every three days, when you receive fatal damage, you will be automatically transferred to the previous safe node. The node can be bound by yourself or randomly selected.

④: All your skills will no longer consume mana but mental energy. Before your mental energy is exhausted, there will no longer be any restrictions on skill release.

⑤: Your hunch will be more accurate and keen.

⑥: Your status recovery speed increases by 50%]

[Note: What you see is only part of its terrifying power, more power will be opened as your level increases]

[PS: This is the second colorful card created...I heard that it represents time, and complements space to form the basis of existence. But...it should be inanimate, right?——??]

"How about it, are you willing to control it?"

The humanoid kept smiling, "If you are willing, please hold it. It will test whether you are qualified to be its master now."

Zhao Ting did not hesitate, reached out and grabbed it, and then he remained still.

The humanoid waited very patiently, but after a while, it saw that the colorful light on the card was restrained and replaced by golden light.

The card was integrated into Zhao Ting's body.

"Is this... so fast? It's so far in advance, it's really amazing."

It sighed from the bottom of its heart, lowered its head, and saw that its lower body seemed to begin to dissipate. The mist filling the golden sand sea in the distance also gradually converged and became calm.

But it didn't panic at all. Instead, it was very relieved and waited for Zhao Ting to wake up.

Fortunately, it didn't wait long before Zhao Ting opened his eyes.

His expression was a little confused. The trial of the card just now made him almost lose control... Fortunately, fortunately, that thing was there.

Zhao Ting tightened his grip on the jade leaf, but heard a "click".

He opened his mouth, and then slowly opened his palms. He found that the jade leaves had been broken into pieces, and they dissipated when the wind blew.

"..."

Zhao Ting instinctively stretched out his hand to catch it, but it was only in vain.

"That's it, so it's like this..."

The humanoid smiled, and stretched out its white, slender, perfect hand. A wisp of gold sand-wrapped jade leaf fragments swirled in its palm, and then restored the jade leaf to its original form.

Its body weathered in front of Zhao Ting as if thousands of years had passed in an instant, just like the jade leaf just now.

"Who are you anyway?"

Zhao Ting couldn't help but ask, but the humanoid didn't respond. He just placed the jade leaf in the palm of his open hand, and it completely turned into sand and blended into the golden sea.

A huge treasure box appeared in front of Zhao Ting. He just took a quick look and estimated that there were twenty or thirty pieces of golden materials inside.
