Survival game: my plug-ins can stack up

Looking at the state of the toy soldiers, Zhao Xun quickly realized what was going on.

Before this, the toy soldier should have encountered another player, and that player triggered and accepted its mission.

But ultimately the mission failed.

Because the mission has been accepted by a player, the toy soldier can no longer be triggered by other players.

And because the player who accepted the task failed, the toy soldier entered a dissociated state.

In this dissociated state, the toy soldier may not even know who he is, so he cannot let other players trigger the mission.

After understanding this, Zhao Xun immediately turned into a falcon and flew forward.

An NPC that cannot trigger tasks is useless to him.

Naturally, he won't waste time on useless NPCs.

The toy soldier was knocked to the ground by the airflow caused by Zhao Xun's takeoff, but it did not get up. Instead, it lay blankly in the grass, looking at the fragmented sky through the gaps in the leaves and branches.

He murmured to himself: "What do I want to do? What do I want others to help me with? Why...don't I remember?"

Zhao Xun flew for more than an hour, during which he met a player.

He was also chased for a while by the opponent as an NPC.

Fortunately, Falcon was fast and responsive, and quickly got rid of the opponent.

Not long after getting rid of the player, Zhao Xun finally met an NPC.

A woman wearing a gorgeous palace dress.

With her beautiful long golden curly hair, fair skin, and delicate face, she looks like a princess or queen in the palace.

There are princesses and queens in many fairy tales, but I don’t know who they are.

Zhao Xun quickly landed and returned to his human form.

When the woman saw the falcon turned into a human, she opened her mouth in surprise: "Are you...are you a human or a bird?"

Zhao Xun did not answer the woman's question, but asked: "Hello, how can I help you?"

As if some program had been triggered, the woman's previous surprise immediately disappeared and turned into a sad look.

"Ah, speaking of which, I do have something I need help from. I wonder if you are willing to help me?" She looked at Zhao Xun expectantly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xun knew that this was an NPC that had not yet been tasked by the players, and he felt a little more relaxed.

I finally found a useful NPC, and the game progressed a small step forward.

But he did not immediately agree to the woman's request: "Can I ask what it is?"

The woman bit her lip and said quietly: "I want to get the queen's magic mirror."

When Zhao Xun heard the words "queen" and "magic mirror", the first thing that came to mind was the fairy tale of Snow White.

but……

Zhao Xun's eyes stayed on the woman's long golden hair for a moment.

Snow White's appearance characteristics are "skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony window frames." Obviously, the person in front of her does not have the appearance characteristics of Snow White.

Unless you're wearing a wig.

But there is no mention of Snow White wearing a wig in the story. If the fairy tale characters are completely based on fairy tales, then this woman should not be Snow White.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Xun said: "Why do you want the queen's magic mirror?"

The woman lowered her head and said with some embarrassment: "Can you not ask? I don't want to answer, and I don't want to lie."

"Okay," Zhao Xun readily agreed, but put forward a new condition, "But you have to tell me who you are."

He was not interested in the purpose for which the woman obtained the magic mirror.

This mission is to help the woman get the magic mirror. In other words, what happens after getting the magic mirror has nothing to do with him.

As long as it doesn't affect his ability to complete his mission, it doesn't matter to him even if this woman wants to use the magic mirror to kill someone.

The reason for asking this is just to make the other party willing to answer his second question out of compensation.

Sure enough, this time the woman was too embarrassed to refuse: "I am the princess of a neighboring country."

"The princess of a neighboring country?" Zhao Xun looked surprised.

In his impression, in the story of Snow White, there seemed to be only princes from neighboring countries, not princesses from neighboring countries.

Although these two "neighboring countries" may not be the same country. After all, with Snow White's kingdom as the center, there may be three or four "neighboring countries" around it, but a character who has not appeared in the story of Snow White is also Can it be considered a fairy tale character?

Or do the NPCs in the Fairy Tale Forest exist based on the original version of the fairy tale?

In the initial version, there was a character like the princess of a neighboring country. However, after many subsequent revisions, this character has been deleted from the public reading, so most people are not aware of the existence of this character.

Regarding this point, Zhao Xun had no way to inquire.

The contents of the fairy tales he learned were all familiar ones.

I haven’t had any contact with the initial version or anything like that.

But since there is such a fairy tale character, and there is no need to distinguish between real and fake fairy tale characters in the game rules, he doesn't actually have to worry about it so much.

No matter why this character appears in the Snow White fairy tale, he just needs to be able to complete the task.

The difficulty level of stealing a magic mirror or something shouldn't be too high.

The medieval defense level is not difficult for him to deal with.

With this in mind, Zhao Xun agreed: "I'm happy to help you."

After receiving the affirmative answer, the woman's eyes brightened.

She looked up at Zhao Xun with gratitude on her face: "Thank you!"

Then she picked up her skirt, stepped on her high heels, and walked forward with some difficulty.

After taking two steps, she turned to Zhao Xun and said, "Please follow me closely."

Zhao Xun responded and followed the woman.

After walking about a hundred meters, Zhao Xun suddenly saw a palace appearing in front of him.

The distance is already very close. You only need to walk about five hundred meters more to reach the entrance of the palace.

"That's the palace." The woman's voice was lowered, as if she was afraid of being heard by the queen in the distant palace, "I haven't figured out how to break in yet."

"There is no need to break in." Zhao Xun looked at the woman, "Aren't you the princess of a neighboring country? You can visit the queen as a princess. As long as your identity is confirmed, they will not refuse to receive you."

The woman looked embarrassed: "But I don't want them to know that I took away the magic mirror, otherwise they will definitely ask me to return it."

"So I'm here to help you." Zhao Xun said matter-of-factly, "As long as you stay with the queen when the magic mirror is stolen, won't you be cleared of suspicion?"

"It...makes sense." The woman looked at Zhao Xun blankly and asked, "Then how do you enter the palace? If you go to help me steal the magic mirror, you can't enter the palace with me as my servant. Otherwise, if you are not by my side, the queen will still suspect me."

Zhao Xun: "..."

I feel like this woman is stupid. Although the last sentence seems to have used some brains, she doesn't have much.

I hope that this woman will not succeed more than fail during the mission.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xun reminded: "After entering the palace, I hope you will act according to my plan as much as possible and don't do unnecessary things. Otherwise, it is very likely that you will not be able to get the magic mirror because of your unforeseen circumstances."

Just warning her not to cause trouble may not be useful.

But if it would affect her interests, she should be able to listen to it to some extent.

The woman did not expect that Zhao Xun would suddenly say such a sentence. She was stunned for several seconds before nodding: "Oh, okay, I'll note it down."

Zhao Xun then replied to the woman's previous question: "I will become your pet and enter the palace with you. Even if the magic mirror is lost when I am not with you, no one will think that I took it away."

The woman remembered that when she first met Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun looked like a bird. She understood: "Yes, this is a good idea. If you turn into an animal, you will not arouse anyone's suspicion at all."

Zhao Xun told the woman: "After entering the palace, you only need to do one thing. Build a good relationship with the queen and let her hold a banquet to entertain you. During the banquet, you must be inseparable from the queen."

The woman nodded repeatedly: "I understand."

Finally, she asked with some uneasiness: "But we don't know where the magic mirror is... Don't you need me to ask the queen?"

"Do you think she will tell you?" Zhao Xun was speechless.

"...That's right." The woman smiled awkwardly, "Then let's..."

"Leave this matter to me, you don't need to worry about it." Zhao Xun interrupted the woman and reminded him again, "Remember what I said, you only need to do what I asked you to do, and don't make any extraneous matters. .”

The woman didn't dare to say anything else, she just nodded.

"Let's go," Zhao Xun said to the woman, "If you think of any other problems, just talk while walking."

This time, it was a woman following Zhao Xun.

When she was still about two hundred meters away from the palace, the woman suddenly patted her head: "Ah, I remembered something."

She looked at Zhao Xun: "I sneaked out alone this time, without even a servant or a carriage..."

She looked down at her dirty skirt and her muddy high heels: "How should I explain this to the queen?"

"Is there anything that can prove your identity as princess?" This was the first thing that came to Zhao Xun's mind.

"Yes," the woman said as she stretched out her left hand, revealing a sapphire ring on it, "this can prove my identity as princess."

Zhao Xun didn't see anything special about this sapphire, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Since the woman said she could prove her identity, she shouldn't be lying.

"That's enough, you can prove your identity with the ring, and then find any excuse..." At this point, Zhao Xun paused. He remembered that this woman's brain was not flexible, so he gave him direct advice, "You can just You said you were curious about neighboring countries, but your husband didn’t want you to come out, so you sneaked out alone.”

"Is this...is this okay?" The woman hesitated.

"It should be possible." Zhao Xun replied.

If it is a logically rigorous world, this reason is a bit weak.

But this is a fairy tale world, and it's normal to float a little.

"Oh, okay." The woman nodded.

It seemed that she would not doubt whether what Zhao Xun said was true or false at all.

At this time, Zhao Xun stopped and asked, "Do you like cats or dogs?"

The woman didn't understand why Zhao Xun asked this, but she answered honestly: "I like Persian cats."

So Zhao Xun turned into a pure white Persian cat and jumped into the woman's arms.

The woman looked at the Persian cat nestled in her arms. Its fur was soft and smooth, and its light blue eyes were particularly beautiful.

Her whole heart softened immediately, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch the Persian cat's head.

Zhao Xun reacted almost instinctively and immediately raised his hand and knocked the woman's hand away.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then lowered her eyes with some dejection.

"Sorry," she apologized sincerely. "Although you look like a cat now, you are actually a human being. I shouldn't touch you casually. It's too rude."

Zhao Xun said "hmm" and did not dwell on the topic. Instead, he said: "We are almost at the palace. Don't forget what you should say."

The woman walked outside the palace door, showed her ring as Zhao Xun said, and explained her reasons.

Sure enough, the guard guarding the door took the woman in without even further questioning or body search.

When they arrived at the main hall of the palace, the king and queen, who had received the notice, were already sitting on the main seats.

The woman bowed politely and explained her reasons again.

"Young people like to run around," the queen smiled and looked at the woman, "When I was your age, I loved riding horses and hanging out."

The king took one look at the queen's expression and then said: "Since the queen likes it, then you can stay here for a few days."

He stood up and said to the woman: "I will write a letter to the neighboring country and tell the prince of the neighboring country that you are visiting my place and I will send you back soon so that your husband will not worry."

The woman politely thanked him and raised her skirt to salute.

It wasn't until the king left that the queen motioned for the woman to sit down.

Then, the queen asked: "I don't know what to call you?"

The woman smiled shyly: "My name is Cinderella."

Zhao Xun, who was thinking about whether to rush out to find the magic mirror now, was stunned after hearing these words.

If there was nothing wrong with his ears, this woman just said her name was Cinderella?

Isn't that the main character in Cinderella?

Zhao Xun raised his cat head and looked at the queen sitting on the throne.

She is a bright and beautiful woman, but there is an arrogance in her eyes.

The previous plot and the queen in front of me clearly prove that this is a fairy tale of Snow White.

But now the protagonist Cinderella in Cinderella has appeared again...

Zhao Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and understood in an instant.

The game rules only say that characters related to fairy tales will appear in the forest, and conversations with fairy tale characters will trigger tasks.

But it was never said from beginning to end that after the player accepts the mission, the story background of the limited scene must be the original fairy tale content.

Forty fairy tale characters appear in the same fairy tale forest at the same time. It is not impossible that several fairy tale characters from different stories occasionally intersect.

In the previous March Hare, the plot took place after Alice appeared, so he just regarded it as a derivative plot and didn't think much about it.

But this time, there's a clear convergence of stories.

However, it is not difficult to tell from Cinderella's words that she should have married her prince.

In other words, the storyline of the Cinderella fairy tale has come to an end.

As for Snow White, the queen is not dead yet, and is definitely still in the plot of the Snow White fairy tale, but I don’t know how far it has progressed.

Another point is that since characters from different fairy tales appear in the same limited scene plot, will another player also appear?

For example, Snow White is also one of the NPCs. If a player triggers Snow White's mission, she will also appear in this limited scene.

The two players trigger the NPC at different times, which will not affect them entering the same limited scene.

If such a situation really occurs, it's okay if there is no conflict between the other party and his mission. Once there is a conflict, the mission will become a bit complicated.

If there is a conflict between tasks and the other party enters the limited scene earlier than him, then he will lose the opportunity.

With this in mind, Zhao Xun jumped off Cinderella's lap and ran straight out.

"Hey..." Cinderella didn't expect that Zhao Xun would run away. She couldn't stop him, so she had to apologize to the queen with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, my pet is a bit playful. He suddenly went to a new place. I can’t sit still and want to look around.”

"It doesn't matter." The queen smiled generously, "It's a good thing that the cat is lively and active, but aren't you afraid that it will get lost?"

"No." Cinderella said confidently, "He will definitely come back to me when he has enough fun."

"That's good." The queen nodded and then changed the subject, "It's getting late. We'll have lunch soon. What do you like to eat?"

"I'm not picky about food, anything is fine." Cinderella replied.

While the queen and Cinderella were chatting, Zhao Xun had already ran into the bedroom area at the back.

Although movies and TV shows about Snow White always show that the magic mirror is hidden in the basement by the queen, this may not be the actual situation.

The magic mirror just looks like a mirror on the surface. As long as it doesn't speak, who would know it is a magic mirror?

There are no problems with normal use.

Besides, this is a fairy tale, and the magic mirror is in the queen and king's bedroom, which is more normal.

Zhao Xun walked all the way upstairs until he saw a wooden door that was much more gorgeous than other rooms. He jumped up and unlocked the door.

Sure enough, it was richly decorated, with portraits of the king and queen hanging above the bed. It looked like their bedroom.

Zhao Xun walked inside and went straight to the dressing room connected to the bedroom. Sure enough, he saw a dressing table and half-length mirror with beautiful reliefs inside.

On the dressing table, there is also a hand-held mirror.

Zhao Xun was about to check which of the two mirrors was the magic mirror, when he suddenly heard the sound of the door lock being opened from outside.

He immediately hid behind the round clothes hanger placed in the corner, covering his body with the clothes hanging on it, and watching what happened.

Soon, a short girl walked in.

She seems to be still underage, with a round face and round eyes that is very cute and cute, with the kind of lovable appearance that has no offensive power at all.

She looked around cautiously and even stood on tiptoes when walking, like a thief who was not very skilled in her business.

She walked to the dressing table, tentatively opened the first drawer on the left, and rummaged through it gently.

Soon, she took out a stack of paper, and didn't leave in a hurry, just flipping through the pages.

Zhao Xun saw that the girl's attention was not focused on the two mirrors at all, so he put aside the idea of ​​a sneak attack for the time being.

This is obviously a player.

Although he didn't pay much attention to players other than volunteers, and had no impression of this round-faced girl, it was obvious that this round-faced girl was incompatible with the fairy tale world.

Coupled with the current behavior, the players are undoubtedly.

If a servant steals, he should take the jewelry box and leave quickly instead of rummaging around in the dresser drawer for some paper.

Sure enough, more than one player appeared in this limited scene.

Fortunately, the girl's mission did not conflict with his, so he didn't have to meddle in her own business.

Zhao Xun planned to wait until the girl left before wondering which magic mirror was the one.

Although there is no conflict between their tasks, he does not intend to take the initiative to reveal his identity as a player.

The girl was writing for a long time, and after reading every page, she suddenly sighed.

"Why are there none?" She neatly arranged the papers and put them back in the drawer, disappointed.

Then she rummaged through the other drawers.

Not even a single piece of paper was found in the other drawers, so naturally there was nothing she wanted.

She rubbed her face in distress and murmured to herself: "Since there is no one here or in the study, then I should look for other places. I should look for any place where I can put things. Although there are some places Normal people wouldn’t put this thing, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be put.”

As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something and hurriedly walked towards the closet.

She opened the drawers in the lower row and went through them one by one.

Some of these drawers hold socks, some hold underwear, and some hold underwear. It is normal for these things to appear in wardrobe drawers.

These are not things she wants.

She was not disappointed and continued to open the fourth drawer.

There are all kinds of gloves in here.

She put her hand in and fumbled around, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and then she took out a piece of slightly yellowed paper.

At this moment, the sound of the bedroom door being opened sounded again outside.

The girl quickly closed the drawer, looked around, and then quickly ran towards the clothes hanger where Zhao Xun was hiding.

Behind the clothes rack was the wall. Zhao Xun had no place to hide, so he simply didn't move.

When the girl walked to the clothes rack, she finally found the white Persian cat squatting on the ground. She looked surprised: "Why is there a cat here?"

Before she could think about it, she picked up the Persian cat and squeezed it behind the clothes rack.

Then, a young girl wearing a gorgeous princess dress walked in.

She has long, shiny black hair, snow-white skin, and gorgeous red lips.

She is still only a fourteen-year-old child, but she already has a beautiful face that would captivate the entire country.
