My players are all acting

After passing through the entrance of the illusion, Zhao Haiping found himself in an ancient palace with a dense atmosphere.

Looking up, the palace has a height difference of 100 meters, and three stone steps stretch upwards, leading to the highest hall.

Both sides are full of tall, cold-eyed red-armored guards, wearing strong and sharp-edged guards, as if each of them is an elite who has been killed from the mountain of corpses and blood.

It's just that the time and space of the illusion at this time is obviously in a frozen state and has not started to operate.

In front of Zhao Haiping, three cards appeared with different shapes and colors, and instructions were written on them.

【Gui · Calmness (white): Your emotions are calm, and you can deal with dangers more calmly. 】

[Gui·Swordsmanship Mastery (Blue): Your swordsmanship level has been improved accordingly. 】

[Ren: Aggressive (white): You will exude an oppressive aura, making it easier for enemies to fear you. 】

There are additional notes below.

[Skill level (from high to low): A, B, C, D, W, He, G, Xin, Rengui]

[Skill rarity: white normal, blue excellent, golden legend]

Zhao Haiping carefully observed the three cards and their skills.

"So, the introduction on the official website is indeed correct, this game does have some meat pigeon elements.

"It seems that I will acquire different skills in this trial illusion, and the choice of these skills will determine the direction of my subsequent games.

"Is it similar to the talent selection in the meat pigeon game? Then I have to think about it."

The so-called meat pigeon game, that is, roguelike game, is characterized by strong randomness, and every time you die, you cannot read the file, you can only start over.

Many meat pigeon games will randomly select the skills in the game, allowing players to choose by themselves. After selecting the skills, the player should also adjust the clearance strategy, genre development and gameplay, which is the greatest fun of the meat pigeon game.

At this time, Zhao Haiping faced such a choice.

There must be good and bad skills, and the possible results of choosing different skills are very different, otherwise there is no need to choose.

Zhao Haiping began to analyze seriously.

"The strength of a skill is obviously restricted by two factors: level and rarity. The higher the level and the rarer it is, the more powerful the skill will be.

"Then the first option can basically be ruled out and one can choose from the latter two.

"The goal of this dungeon is to assassinate the king, so I am actually an assassin. Then, mastering swordsmanship should be very important. A slip of the hand at a critical moment can make a world of difference in the ending.

"This 'aggressiveness'... is a higher level skill, and it seems to be good.

"After all, there must be some guards around the emperor, and when the guards swarm me up and beat me up, even if they use swordsmanship, they may not be able to beat so many people.

"But the effect of aggressiveness is to make the enemy more likely to fear, so it is more likely to break through from the guards and successfully assassinate the emperor...

"One is rarer and the other is high-level, so it's a bit difficult to choose.

"Forget it, let's choose one at random and see the specific difficulty of this dungeon."

Zhao Haiping thought for a while, and tapped the [aggressive] skill card, the card immediately turned into light particles and gathered in his body, while the other two cards disappeared.

At this time, Zhao Haiping had a very special feeling, as if he possessed a very special aura!

With every gesture, the aura of domineering suddenly arises.

Zhao Haiping even felt that if he met a few gangsters on the street at this time, he didn't need to do anything, and he could scare them away with a loud shout!

"It seems that it makes sense for this skill level to be higher. Compared with the swordsmanship that everyone can master to a certain extent after hard training, this kind of domineering is more difficult to obtain."

Zhao Haiping is quite satisfied with his choice.

The moment he made his choice, the entire illusion began to flow.

The little eunuch leading the way ahead has already started to move forward, and Zhao Haiping hastened to follow.

At this time, he noticed that he was holding a wooden box with exquisite patterns, and it must contain some kind of precious things.

Zhao Haiping was a little curious about what was inside, but under the watchful eyes of the red-armored guards on both sides, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to lower his head and follow the little eunuch in front of him through the long stone steps to the main hall .

Every time he took a step, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressed, and his heart couldn't stop beating, getting louder and louder.

When he came to the main hall, his heart seemed to be jumping out of his chest, trembling and unstoppable.

"Is this a game with 100% authenticity? Why does it feel a hundred times more nervous than going to an interview when I just graduated from university..."

It was only at this time that Zhao Haiping realized what the literal meaning of the pressure was.

I've never had this experience with other virtual reality games.

When he first entered the illusion, he didn't feel much. After all, time hadn't started to flow at that time. What he saw was just a static scene. Although the palace in front of him looked magnificent and shocking, it was nothing more than that.

But when he really climbed up the 100-meter-high steps slowly under the watchful eyes of countless red-clothed soldiers, in this incomparably chilling atmosphere and the long climbing process, he could feel the pressure constantly accumulating, just like a The bales of straw kept pressing down on the camel.

If this is really a scene in reality, I am afraid that many people with poor psychological quality will already have weak legs and cannot walk before they reach the main hall.

Fortunately, he can see all kinds of game information in his field of vision, reminding him all the time that this is in the game, and he is just playing the role of the game, which makes Zhao Haiping's mind a lot easier.

Finally, came to the main hall.

A red-armored guard stepped forward and searched the body for the last time.

Zhao Haiping was released after being roughly groped up and down.

Before leaving, the red-armored guard looked at him more vigilantly. Although Zhao Haiping was a little weak from fright, the guard was still facing an enemy.

This is probably the effect of that [aggressive] skill.

However, by chance, he saw the name on the head of the red-armored guard.

Although there were red-armored guards on both sides of the main hall before, Zhao Haiping didn't dare to look around at all, not to mention that the guards were too far away from him, and the words on their heads could not be read clearly.

Now he can see clearly: Dayan Chijia Army.

Zhao Haiping's brain was running fast, thinking of a lot of information.

"That's right, I should think of Dayan when I see these soldiers wearing red clothes. As the first unified dynasty in Kyushu, they still love red, and the Red Armored Army is the most elite of the Dayan Dynasty. troops.

"That's not right, since it is the monarch of the Great Yan Dynasty, it should be a positive person, right? As a sorter, why do I want to assassinate the king?

"Could it be that……

"What I'm playing now is the assassination of Emperor Yanling?"

Zhao Haiping looked at the wooden box in his hand again. Although the wooden box didn't have any explanatory information, judging from its size and shape, it was undoubtedly in line with Zhao Haiping's guess.

Zhao Haiping is not a person who understands history very well, but this period of history is so well-known and widely spread that it is almost impossible for him not to know about it.

Emperor Yanling was a well-known tyrant in history. He was so ambitious and extorted so much that the people were in dire straits. The knight Nie Rang took advantage of the opportunity of presenting auspiciousness to assassinate Emperor Yanling. Lived for more than a hundred years.

Of course, Nie Rang at the time of Xianxiangrui was still an unknown person. He was hailed as the number one swordsman at that time after he assassinated Emperor Yan Ling, and he was hailed as the top ten assassins in later generations.

In short, Emperor Yan Ling in history was a proper villain, and playing Nie Rang's assassination of the king was a way of eliminating harm for the people.

"In this way, the method of customs clearance is very clear.

"Now I want to play the hero Nie Rang and reenact the scene of assassinating Emperor Yan Ling.

"What's in this box is probably the so-called auspicious, black jade unicorn."

Zhao Haiping now understands why the internal beta player recruitment announcement required players to have certain historical knowledge.

If it is really the kind of illiterate who doesn't understand a little bit of history, entering this dungeon, it is estimated that he can't even guess what the main task is, and he is completely blind, how can he pass the level?

The little eunuch hurried forward to the main hall, and said to the lofty Emperor Yan Ling, "Your Majesty, Nie Rang, who presented the auspicious black jade unicorn, is already waiting outside the hall."

Emperor Yan Ling was tall and mighty, and laughed loudly: "Oh? Then let him go to the hall to face the saint! Dear friends, come with me to welcome auspiciousness!"

The little eunuch immediately shouted loudly: "Xuan, let Nie see you!"

Zhao Haiping knew that it was his time, so he quickly lowered his head and walked quickly to the main hall.

At this time, the civil and military officials of the Great Yan Dynasty were on both sides, Zhao Haiping was under more pressure, and fine beads of sweat could not help oozing from his forehead, but he still forcibly calmed down, kneeling on the ground like many movies and TV dramas he had watched. , held the wooden box with both hands and raised it high: "The grass people kowtow to His Majesty!"

After waiting for a while, there was no reply.

Zhao Haiping was a little suspicious, thinking, is there a bug in this game? Why are you still stuck?

He looked up subconsciously, only to find that the aloof Emperor Yan Ling was squinting and looking at him with vigilance.

"Looking up at the king? Sure enough, he intends to assassinate the king!

"You have been full of murderous intent since the moment you entered the palace, and I can see at a glance that you must be a fierce man without a father or a king!

"Where is the soldier? Drag it out and chop it up!"

Zhao Haiping was dumbfounded: "Oh shit!"

Before he had time to react, two red-armored guards stepped forward and took him down without any explanation.

Zhao Haiping wanted to resist, but the two soldiers had locked him tightly, making him unable to break free.

Before Zhao Haiping had time to argue, he was dragged outside the hall by two soldiers, and he died with a knife in his hand.

If it was other emperors, killing people might have to go through a process, but Emperor Yan Ling was a famous tyrant in history, and he never killed people overnight.

Zhao Haiping only felt a chill on his neck and darkness in his eyes, and only half a word of complaint floated out of his unwilling head.

"Nima..."
