Survival game: my plug-ins can stack up
Chapter 140 The Caged Bird (4k)
The bright light was a bit dazzling, Zhao Xun squinted his eyes slightly, and finally saw clearly that he was locked in a metal cage.
The two-meter-high round birdcage was just wide enough for him to lie flat inside.
There is a very bright spotlight on the top of the birdcage, which blinds people, but allows the audience in the stands to clearly see his appearance.
Zhao Xun sat up with one hand on his body, looked at the metal bar in front of him, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
At this moment, the loudspeaker on the stage announced: "Next, please enjoy the dance "Caged Bird"."
Then, cheerful music played from the speakers, and even the lights on the stage changed colors and shapes according to the rhythm of the music.
The brightest headlight still shone on Zhao Xun's body, making people unconsciously put all their attention on him.
At the same time, a pop-up window appeared in front of Zhao Xun.
[Main mission: Escape from the cage and not be a caged bird]
Zhao Xun stood up and walked towards the edge of the cage.
This mission suited him just fine.
Even if the main mission is not this, he plans to get out of the cage first.
The light follows Zhao Xun as he moves and follows his figure.
Whistles sounded in the stands, seemingly in anticipation of Zhao Xun's dance performance.
Zhao Xun ignored those people and just tried to use his special ability [Animal Transformation Level 2] to turn himself into a small animal and get out of the gap in the cage.
But after trying twice, he found that he couldn't transform.
He was stunned for a moment, and then tried to use [Gold Control], [Thunder Control] and [Snake Hair lv3], but none of them worked.
It was as if he had lost his special abilities and became an ordinary person.
At this time, the voices of dissatisfaction in the stands gradually became louder, and many people began to boo or complain that Zhao Xun had been standing there motionless.
Some people threw mineral water bottles and other things directly towards the stage.
Fortunately, the fence of the birdcage was dense enough so that the mineral water bottle couldn't be thrown in. After hitting the cage hard, it made a dull sound and fell to the ground.
Zhao Xun's face was gloomy and he was in a very bad mood.
He didn't care about the attitude of the audience, nor the mineral water bottles thrown at him.
What he cares about is that he can't use his special abilities anymore. (Note 1)
With special abilities, escaping from this cage is easy for him.
But without special abilities, it would be very difficult for him to escape.
He does not believe that special abilities cannot be used in dream games, otherwise the existence of special abilities will lose most of its meaning.
Then, there must be some kind of restriction that prevents him from using special abilities temporarily.
Is it that it can't be used in the birdcage environment, or that it can't be used in the main quest?
There is so little information known that it is difficult to judge.
But judging from the situation of the main mission, if special abilities can be used and the mission is easy to complete, the points will be very low.
Now it is equivalent to sealing the special ability and completing the main mission as an ordinary person. After completing it, the points may be higher.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xun felt a little better.
In either case, he must leave the birdcage before he can possibly regain his special abilities.
The most urgent thing is to think of a way to escape first.
Just when Zhao Xun was about to take out the special item to see if it could be used, there was a sudden vibration right underneath the birdcage.
The loudspeaker on the stage sounded the announcement again: "Sorry, dear audience members, our performers may be unwell and unable to perform for the time being. Please forgive me. Next is the tap dance of the beauties, which is better than "Caged Bird". I hope you like it. .”
Immediately afterwards, the elevator landed, and the birdcage slowly disappeared under the stage.
As the stage floor closed, the yelling and cursing outside also became quieter.
Soon, new music started playing, and the shouting and cursing outside gradually decreased. It seemed that they were all subdued by the tap dancing of the beauties.
At this time, Zhao Xun had already taken out his special item [Primate's Blessing].
After successfully summoning a pygmy marmoset, he was sure that the special items could still be used as usual, and he felt better again.
Before he could speak to the pygmy marmoset, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance.
Zhao Xun immediately picked up the dwarf marmoset and stuffed it into his pocket.
Then he stood in the center of the cage and looked in the direction of the sound source.
A slightly fat middle-aged man walked over quickly.
He has black-framed eyes that look a bit like Maitreya Buddha, exuding a kind aura.
It's just that "Maitreya Buddha" is very unhappy now. There is obvious anger in Zhao Xun's eyes, which makes him look less "kind-hearted".
"Zhao Xun, what's the matter with you! Why don't you perform well?" The middle-aged man scolded Zhao Xun angrily, "You almost ruined the whole performance, you know?"
The moment the middle-aged man appeared, Zhao Xun narrowed his eyes slightly.
Faced with the middle-aged man's rebuke, Zhao Xun did not say anything, but just stared at the middle-aged man expressionlessly.
The middle-aged man didn't seem to notice Zhao Xun's expression and continued to curse: "I provide you with food and clothing, but you dare to stumble on the stage! If I hadn't been prepared, these audience members would have been angry with you today. . If they make a fuss about refunding tickets, our entire performance group will be drinking from the northwest in the next few days!"
The middle-aged man became angrier as he spoke. He pointed at Zhao Xun's nose and cursed for a while before he stopped because his mouth was dry.
"I think you just don't know how to learn your lesson. Please reflect on yourself here!" He glared at Zhao Xun viciously, "Before you realize your mistake, just stay in the cage and don't even think about eating. Don’t even think about it!”
After saying that, regardless of Zhao Xun's reaction, the middle-aged man turned around and left.
The moment the middle-aged man turned around, Zhao Xun suddenly said: "Wang Dongliang."
The middle-aged man turned around suddenly and glared at Zhao Xun: "Who are you, worthy of calling me by my name? You want to call me Commander Wang!"
Zhao Xun pursed his lips but did not speak.
At this moment, he was finally sure.
This is a dream game created for him, so it’s not surprising that the NPC can directly call out his name.
Even...it's not surprising that the NPC is someone he once knew.
This is the most fundamental difference between dream games and platform games.
He even knew clearly which memory segment in his life this dream game was aimed at.
Although the identity of the character, the background of the story, and the events that happened are completely different from his experience in reality, there are many similarities.
I just don’t know in what direction the plot in the game will develop.
Seeing that Zhao Xun remained silent, Wang Dongliang became angry again.
Wang Dongliang walked to the cage in a few steps, pointed at Zhao Xun's nose and cursed: "Are you deaf when you step on the horse? I asked you to call me Captain Wang!"
Zhao Xun approached Wang Dongliang, standing face to face with only the cage between them.
He asked: "Are you the leader of this performance troupe?"
"Did you not sleep well last night and your mind is not clear today?" Wang Dongliang couldn't help but put his hand into the cage and wanted to slap Zhao Xun. "If you don't dance well on stage, you will be as big or small as me here when you get off stage." Call me by name!"
Zhao Xun quickly raised his hand and grabbed Wang Dongliang's arm.
Although he has no special abilities for the time being, he has been exercising and his arm strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people. He has no problem controlling Wang Dongliang's arm.
Wang Dongliang couldn't hit Zhao Xun, and couldn't pull out his arm, so he became even more angry: "Are you going to rebel? I think you don't want to come out of the cage, so I'll just lock you in until you die!"
Zhao Xun let go of his hand and showed a rare expression of obedience: "Captain Wang, it was my fault. I hope you will not remember the villain's fault."
His attitude was gentle, and although he did not show a flattering smile, he had a good attitude towards admitting his mistakes.
Wang Dongliang finally felt a little better, scolded Zhao Xun a few more times, and then left.
Zhao Xun looked at the dwarf marmoset hiding behind Wang Dongliang and nodded slightly.
The dwarf marmoset received Zhao Xun's signal, lay obediently on Wang Dongliang's body, and followed Wang Dongliang away.
There are three locks on this bird cage, and three keys are needed to open the cage door.
The keys should all be kept by Wang Dongliang. As long as the dwarf marmoset follows Wang Dongliang, he can always find where the keys are hidden.
Then you can ask the pygmy marmoset to steal the key.
Zhao Xun took the initiative to approach just now just to provoke Wang Dongliang to attack him.
With the opportunity to contact Wang Dongliang, while controlling Wang Dongliang's actions and letting Wang Dongliang focus all his attention on Zhao Xun, the dwarf tamarin quietly climbed onto Wang Dongliang's back without attracting any attention. .
The show of weakness and submission later was just to end the quarrel as soon as possible and let Wang Dongliang leave.
Every step he takes has purpose.
Now that his goal is achieved, he just needs to wait for the news.
Zhao Xun reached out and touched the stone that was slightly cool to the touch.
Fortunately, when you hold this stone, you can communicate with the pygmy marmoset mentally. You don't need to speak out, so you don't have to worry about being heard by others, and the message can be conveyed faster.
Zhao Xun sat down cross-legged and played with the stone in his hand.
After being far apart, the telepathy between him and the pygmy marmoset gradually became weaker.
Obviously, beyond a certain distance, they can no longer communicate without barriers.
He couldn't know what was happening on the pygmy marmoset side in time, and the pygmy marmoset couldn't get new orders in time.
Everything depends on the pygmy marmoset's own judgment and action.
Fortunately, primates have high IQs, so it is not a particularly complicated situation and should be able to handle it properly.
Zhao Xun just sat quietly and waited for more than two hours.
There were footsteps again outside.
The footsteps this time were much softer than last time, as if they were walking quietly, for fear of being heard by others.
The person coming was obviously not Wang Dongliang.
Zhao Xun opened his eyelids slightly and soon saw a thin figure walking over.
It was a young girl wearing a miniskirt performance costume. She had a delicate appearance, but she looked a little malnourished and her body was extremely thin.
"Zhao Xun, are you okay?" The girl's voice was very low. After saying this, she immediately turned her head and looked behind her, as if she was afraid of being discovered that she was here.
Zhao Xun was silent for a while before speaking: "Wang Linger, what are you doing here?"
"You messed up your performance on the stage today, and I knew you would definitely be imprisoned." Wang Ling'er sighed, "Even if it's for your own life, you can't always go against Captain Wang. This pair of You gain nothing."
Zhao Xun didn't respond, just looked at Wang Linger silently.
Wang Ling'er glanced back nervously again to make sure there was no one, and then quickly took out an oil paper bag that was smaller than a palm and put it into the cage: "Hurry up, take it and eat something to cushion your stomach."
Zhao Xun didn't answer, just said: "I'm not hungry, you can keep it for yourself."
"You were put in a cage last night and didn't get dinner. You didn't get breakfast today either. How could you not be hungry?" Wang Ling'er didn't believe it. She spoke very quickly and seemed anxious, "I can't stay here for too long. For a long time, I will think of a way to get you something to eat tonight."
With that said, she squatted down, gently placed the oil paper bag on the ground, and left in a hurry before Zhao Xun could speak.
Zhao Xun looked at Wang Ling'er's disappearing back and didn't move for a while.
After a long while, he reached out and picked up the oil paper bag on the ground.
When I opened it, I found a piece of rice cake that was still warm.
Although there were very few things, he knew very well that it would be difficult for Wang Ling'er to sneak these things out.
He rewrapped the oil paper bag and put it into the storage compartment.
He is indeed not hungry now. He just had lunch before entering the game.
However, this thing cannot be placed in a cage. Once Wang Dongliang sees it, even if Wang Dongliang doesn't know who took it, he will choose to cause trouble for him.
Anyway, according to the current situation, it will not be easy for him to eat for the time being. If he has food, he should put it away. There will always be times when he needs to eat.
Zhao Xun simply lay down in the cage and looked at the top of the cage.
Judging from the two characters that have appeared so far, several important characters in "that period" may appear in this game in the form of NPCs.
For Zhao Xun now, "that period" is as far away as a previous life.
He had almost forgotten.
But now I have to recall the details.
If the dream game is based on the player's past experiences and relationships, then there should be no changes in the personality and behavior of the characters related to the past.
Even if the events in the dream game are different from what he experienced in reality, his understanding of the characters will help him make some predictions.
Well, let him think about it, besides Wang Dongliang and Wang Linger, there seems to be another person.
As soon as a human face appeared in his mind, footsteps sounded again in the distance.
After a while, a young man with a delicate appearance came over.
With a mocking smile on his face, he looked at Zhao Xun like a locked up dog.
The young man opened his mouth to speak, but Zhao Xun beat him to it.
"Liao Ming, you should be very good at serving others." Zhao Xun looked the young man up and down, as if looking at an object, "In the whole group, you are the one who has the most comfortable life. You just don't know how to do it for others." Does the dog taste good?"

(Note 1)
In the dream game, special abilities cannot be used only during main missions.
The main tasks in the dream game are small tasks, which are different in nature from the main tasks in the platform game. They will end soon. The side tasks are the main ones that occupy the main part of the dream game (because many people only see this and think that it is completely impossible in the dream game). Use special abilities, so explain)
