This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic

  Chapter 100 The Impact of Large-Scale Internal Testing

   In the third year, Mu You began to try to abandon those thoughts of quick success and instant benefit, and really put his mind on the study of potions, reopened the first notebook, and started from the beginning.

   This time, he no longer pursued progress, no longer used those useless time calculations, and no longer constrained himself to a seven-year time frame.

  He figured it out. What he really needs is to learn Potions, not to complete the homework assigned by Vivienne. So what if it takes more than seven years? Anyway, he has unlimited time, when he finishes studying, it ends.

   Mu You no longer tortured himself, closed his eyes and rested when he wanted to rest, got up and continued reading when he had enough rest.

   And when he no longer regarded reading as a task, but wanted to learn from the bottom of his heart, he finally began to gradually feel the fun of Potions, slowly immersed in it, and even couldn't extricate himself for a while.

  Afterwards, he has maintained this mentality of seeking knowledge. It is now the seventeenth year that he finally finished reading the first seven notebooks.

  Mu You caressed the seven notebooks, exhaled, stood up, and the barrier was automatically released.

He chose to stop, of course, not because he had completed the task and didn't want to continue, but because he knew that after seventeen years, mental fatigue had accumulated to an extreme, and if he continued, his efficiency would only drop sharply , there is no need to deliberately torture yourself.

   Reaching out to catch the flying cards and putting them away, Mu You turned to look at the canary on the grass beside him.

   "You seem to have changed a lot." Vivian looked up at him.

  At this time, Mu You's appearance has not changed compared to seventeen years ago, but his eyes have become as calm as water, and his temperament has become much more restrained.

   Mu You smiled, but did not answer.

   Yes, he has changed, his mentality has become calmer, his heart has become resolute, and he has exercised sufficient patience.

   But more importantly than these, his vision has changed! He no longer watches the sky from a well, no longer regards himself as a small person, he knows what he really needs to pursue, and also understands the scenery that top potion masters like Vivian see, climbing to the top of the peak, he will leave sooner or later To the day when she is at the same height as her, or even surpassed.

  He is looking forward to that day, but he will not be eager for quick success.

  In the past seventeen years, the growth of mentality may be more important than the knowledge gained.

"good."

  Vivian looked into his eyes, and gave a rare compliment, which made Mu You a little stunned.

You must know that in the past seventeen years, Vivienne has never praised him. Instead, she taunted him every day with a vicious tongue. So slow', 'Don't lose face', 'I've never seen such a dull student like you', 'Don't tell others that you are my apprentice when you go out in the future' and so on.

  Mu Youting's ears were almost callused, and he was quite shocked at first, but later he was trained to be completely immune, and the left ear went in and the right ear went out.

   Didn't expect that at the end of the schoolwork, Vivian didn't have any venomous words about him 'it took him seventeen years to finish reading seven books'. Instead, she praised him, and there seemed to be a kind of...comfort in her tone?

   "Today's homework is over, you can rest now." Vivian changed the subject.

"rest?"

   Mu You was amused, but also ashamed.

To be honest, he is not tired at all now, because in the enchantment, he has enough sleep time. In fact, nearly half of these seventeen years have been spent in laziness and bad manners, otherwise It wouldn't take seventeen years for such a long time.

On the contrary, Vivienne, because she was not affected by time going back, accompanied him for seventeen years. During this period, she kept time for him in obscurity. When the time was up, she used magic to help him press the pocket watch outside the barrier. To be honest, she was the one who never rested from the beginning to the end.

  After finishing his homework, Mu You lay down on the grass, having nothing else to do for a while, so he simply took out his phone, and "The Fool" started.

  The game is online, and it is still in the farmer's home.

  It was only five o'clock in the morning, and it was not time for breakfast.

  After going online, Mu You first took out three new occult cards that he had just obtained from the meeting: Teleportation in Darkness, Light of Negation, and Zombie Summoning.

   were engraved in the crystal in turn, replacing the original three secret techniques.

   Then decisively used a dark teleportation in the hut.

  【You have arranged the dark teleportation array. After you have arranged the same array in other areas on the same plane, you can establish a connection and teleport to each other. Currently has a teleportation node: thatched cottage at the foot of Misty Mountain. 】

   Mu You looked at the crystal carefully, the consumption of this formation is very small, and one tenth of the natural magic power is not used.

   This is easy to handle. He plans to go back and set up a teleportation array at the dwarf blacksmith and the cabin in Anning Village. It will be much more convenient to go back and forth in the future.

   After the magic circle was built, Mu You didn't leave in a hurry, but clicked on the text of the old lady and entered 'wine barrel' in the input box.

  【You said you need a wine barrel, the old farmer asked you to look for it in the basement, where there are many abandoned empty wooden barrels. 】

  【You came to the basement and found a larger empty wooden barrel, with some spoiled wine lees left in it. 】

  【You brought the wooden barrel to the well in the thatched cottage yard, cleaned the wooden barrel, and then filled it with well water. 】

  【You have obtained a 'wine barrel full of well water'. 】

   After some operations, Mu You clicked on the barrel text.

  A fat wooden barrel more than one meter high appeared in front of him. Mu You opened the cork on the top of the barrel and saw that it was indeed full of well water.

  He specially prepared this wine barrel for the drunkard blacksmith, because next he needs to find a blacksmith to help him build a backpack and weapons.

  However, the wine on the earth can't be saved directly into the game, so we can only use well water mixed with wine to get Kaka bugs.

  Mu You immediately went out, ran to a nearby supermarket, found an import counter, and bought a case of vodka with a degree of up to 96 degrees, known as 'water of life'.

   After returning home, Mu You started his wine-making business.

  Half bucket of well water + half bucket of vodka = well water mixed with unknown liquid.

  The wine was so strong that even after dilution, it would be 40 to 50 degrees. After the blending was completed, Mu You took a spoonful and tasted it.

   "emmm..."

   It can only be said that the taste is very strange. Anyway, Mu You didn't taste the aroma of the wine, but it felt spicy and choking, with a bitter taste of water. I don't know if the alcoholic dwarf would like this flavor...

   "It doesn't matter, let's try it out..."

   Mu You sealed the wine barrel and sent it into the game.

  【You got 'a bucket of well water mixed with an unknown liquid'. 】

  【You set off on a donkey and head to the foot of Nanshan Mountain. On the way, it is expected to arrive in half an hour...]

   As usual, there was another half-hour waiting time. Mu You planned to take the opportunity to go out to buy some breakfast, but before he could leave, a new prompt suddenly popped up on the screen.

  【You are on your way, an 'unknown person' suddenly jumped out from the side of the road and launched a surprise attack on you! 】

  【You easily killed the unknown person (level 1), life span +1, experience value +1, remaining life span is 132 years. 】

Um? ? ?

  Mu You was taken aback, since he left Anning Village, he has not been attacked for a long time.

   Anonymous? level one?

   Could this be a new player who hasn't gotten a skin yet...

   Mu You thought for a while, yes, today is the day of the game's large-scale closed beta, with 10 million new players pouring in, there must be many more players around him, but he didn't expect to meet him in the game so soon.

  Mu You didn't care either, he is now at level seven, and these past few days he got all the ten points of free attributes from the old grandma's rice porridge, plus the three free points before, he was able to allocate two rounds of attributes.

  His current attributes are: 10 points of strength, 20 points of agility, 30 points of intelligence, 7 points of constitution, and 1 point of free attribute.

   This kind of panel, for these newcomers whose surrounding attributes are still hovering at 1 point, is a gap that can be crushed with a finger.

  So Mu You took a look and didn't care, and continued on his way.

   As a result, within ten minutes of walking, two reminders popped up one after another.

  【An 'unknown person' launched a surprise attack on you! 】

  【You easily killed the unknown person (level 1), life span +1, experience value +1, remaining life span is 133 years. 】

  …

  【You ran into another 'unknown person' on the side of the road, and he attacked you with a knife! 】

  【You easily killed the unknown person (level 1), life span +1, experience value +1, remaining life span is 134 years. 】

  …

   "No, are these newcomers so stupid?"

  The corners of Mu You's eyes twitched, thinking that these rookies probably saw him riding a donkey, so they regarded him as an NPC who could be bullied at will? One by one rushed out to die.

At this time, Mu You really felt the impact of the large-scale internal test: the number of players has indeed become denser, it is said that he has encountered three in a row after walking for a while, and more importantly, he actually has a herb in the middle Not a single wild monster was encountered!

   It can be seen that the competition for resources is rapidly becoming fiercer.

   Having said that, this is still an internal beta, and only 10 million players have been added. The feeling is already so obvious. When the public beta really arrives, billions of people will flood in together. Will the opposite star spirit world be overwhelmed on the spot?
