This Text Adventure Game is Totally Poisonous

[The wheel knob continues to rotate under your twisting, the speed is getting slower and slower, and it gradually makes a rattling sound. It seems that it has been twisted to the limit, but the water from the water outlet is still flowing in small streams. Whether to continue? 】

"yes."

[You ignored the pipe's protest and continued to exert force. You felt the tremors of the pipe under your feet become more frequent... Until at a certain moment, the pipe at the knob finally couldn't bear the pressure and exploded from the edge of the knob. The water flow from the outlet in front suddenly began to flow. Rush out at a speed several times more turbulent than the initial...]

"Well……"

Mu You was embarrassed. He wanted to tighten it a little bit, once and for all, but he didn't expect to screw it up...

Fortunately, there was a chance to do it again, Mu You hurriedly went back according to the watch, and stopped the force of the unicorn arm.

【You stopped turning the wheel knob in time. At this moment, the knob has been twisted almost to the load limit, but the water from the spout is still gurgling. 】

[You observe in front of the water tank for a while, according to the current water storage speed, it will take about 50 hours from empty to full...]

It was not completely blocked, but the 'tsunami' time was extended from one hour to fifty hours, which increased the interval by more than two days, which was basically enough for the players to explore.

Mu You turned around and told the news to the city owner group, asking them to adjust the tsunami clock.

This news immediately cheered up the spirits of several city owners. You must know that after entering the real world for so long, it is precisely because of the threat of tsunamis that countless players have been trapped in one-third of an acre of land near the exit, unable to explore outside.

When there are more people, no matter what they do, they will get involved. Recently, everyone has clearly felt that the efficiency of collecting divinity is decreasing day by day. If this continues, I am afraid that it will soon become common for players to attack each other to snatch loot.

Fortunately, Tsunami has been shut down in time, finally solving this urgent need. Next, players can expand outwards as much as they want. Based on the current number and enthusiasm of players, this area will be completely explored, which is a matter of a few days.

After receiving the news, the city lords immediately began to organize expeditions and prepare to open up wasteland.

Mu You was not in a hurry to explore outside, but instead jumped into the sea again.

Since he could get away with the cover of octopus skin, he wanted to explore the sea instead.

It can attract a mysterious creature that is more powerful than Jiuxing and stay in this sea for a long time. There may be some secrets hidden in this sea.

[You jump into the sea and swim downward. 】

[You are equipped with the relic 'Jellyfish Venomous Gills', which temporarily gains the ability to breathe underwater, but your health continues to decrease at a rate of one point per minute under the influence of jellyfish poison. 】

This relic was one of the trophies revealed by the Wetland Enchantress just now. Mu You kept it after seeing it was of some use.

Although the equipment will continue to be poisoned, this toxin is not fatal. When the health value drops below half health, it will adapt to the poison and stop losing blood. After all, it provides the rare ability to breathe underwater in the real world. This side effect is not bad. accept.

[The water is dark and freezing. You look around, and along the curved coast, there is a kind of luminous water plant hanging, providing a little light for the dark sea water. 】

[You dive down, and several octopuses several meters long suddenly appear around you, swimming around you playfully. Fortunately, the octopuses do not attack you, but show obvious curiosity and friendliness towards you, as if they are inviting you. You play together...]

Entering the sea, the imagined scene of being directly eaten by many ferocious aquatic creatures did not happen. Perhaps because of the existence of the mysterious octopus, it was actually safer underwater, and ordinary little water monsters did not dare to act recklessly.

The 'little octopuses' gathered around him at this time seemed to be the children of the big octopus. Fortunately, protected by the skin of the King Octopus, these little octopuses did not notice anything unusual and regarded him as 'one of their own'.

Mu You ignored the onlookers of these little octopuses and continued to control the character to dive.

But as you go down, the text actually reminds you repeatedly that 'the surrounding area is getting narrower'.

"Is this just a 'lake'?" Mu You thought.

The dive gets narrower and narrower, resembling a cone-shaped funnel, and this topography can only be explained by a closed lake.

If it's just a lake, the problem is even bigger.

You must know that the pipeline above the sea is constantly leaking. If this was just a closed lake with constant water storage, it would have flooded the surrounding land long ago. How could it always maintain a stable water level?

The only explanation is that somewhere under this lake is connected to the outside world!

Thinking of this, Mu You continued to explore downwards. What surprised him was that he never saw the big octopus along the way. He had seen tens of thousands of these small octopuses.

[As you dive all the way, the bottom of the water becomes darker and darker, and the visibility is extremely low. When you look up, everything around you is blurry...]

Although there is no fog blocking underwater, due to the dim light, the visibility is not as good as on land. After all, there are fog-breaking mirrors available on the ground.

I just dived all the way for more than an hour, and finally a prompt popped up.

[You suddenly see a faint light coming from below. When you look closer, you see that the sea floor is already in front of you. There are rocks and vegetation, and many colorful and strange plants are growing. 】

[At a glance, you can see a very conspicuous black circular gap somewhere on the seabed that is as bright as the sea of ​​stars. This gap is hundreds of meters in radius, and there are undercurrents surging around it. It is bottomless, and I don’t know where it leads...]

[Dark vortex: A rare natural wonder in the real world, distributed all over the world. Behind each dark vortex is connected to another vortex countless miles away. Through these vortexes, one can cross space and reach another brand new area in an instant. 】

"oh?"

Mu You was overjoyed. Isn't this the teleportation array? Moreover, it is a naturally formed wormhole, which can travel to another area at any time without consuming energy!

Mu You immediately operated the character to look through the vortex.

【You speed up your dive and head straight for the dark vortex. 】

[Just as you were about to approach the vortex, a familiar low hum suddenly came from behind, filled with anger. 】

[A huge eye suddenly opens not far from you, and around the eye, reflected by the light on the seabed, you can vaguely see the outline of a giant octopus...]

【The little octopuses chasing all the way around you trembled in fright from this low cry, and fled away from you in panic. 】

[When you look again, a thick octopus has cut through the sea water, and it is flying towards you. 】

[You were crushed by the octopus's legs. 】

【You are dead...】

…

"..."

Mu You was speechless, this big octopus didn't come sooner or later, but it ran out to show its presence when he passed through the wormhole.

Could it be that this guy is here to guard this wormhole?

Mu You frowned. No matter what, he was attacked at this moment, which proved that the Octopus King's skin was useless. It would be impossible to escape from now on. He would definitely die here.

But even if you die, you must die with some value.

Mu You hurriedly backtracked according to the table.

[Time goes by and you go back to ten seconds ago. 】

【Looking at the figure of the octopus that is close at hand, you choose to summon the arm of the wind unicorn, aiming at the feet of the octopus that is about to come. 】

[Soon, the octopus roared again, do you want to activate the wind burial cannon immediately? 】

[You activate the wind burial cannon, the energy in your body is instantly evacuated, and countless fine wind blades appear on the bottom of the sea, forming a bright light cluster. 】

[The extremely compressed wind energy passed through, tearing apart everything in its path. The incoming octopus feet were also forcibly repulsed by the wind burial cannon, and were cut open by the surging wind blades. 】

[Amidst a deafening roar, you vaguely see the end of an octopus foot that is more than ten meters long, floating in front of you. Is it charged? 】

Mu You's eyes lit up, he was just thinking that since he was doomed, he would try the power of the wind burial cannon at the end, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected harvest!

Mu You hurriedly clicked 'Receive'.

[You collected the ‘broken octopus foot’. 】

The moment the prompt popped up, around Mu You, an orange octopus foot that was more than ten meters long and covered with suction cups appeared in the pet shop. It was so huge that it almost filled the living room of the pet shop and filled the lobby. Several tables and containers were crushed to pieces.

The two avatars who were busy with their own affairs looked up in surprise when they heard the movement.

Seeing the broken leg of the octopus that was still alive and kicking on the ground, the watchman looked at Mu You with a strange expression: "Ontology, do we have takoyaki tonight?"

Mu You smiled wryly, and first looked down at the game.

[You were beaten to pulp by an angry octopus. 】

【You are dead! 】

[Your soul was drawn back by the soul lamp, and returned to the green lamp. 】

[You were resurrected under the soul-inducing lamp, and cracks appeared on the resurrection stone in your hand...]

Without any accident, the characters in the game have died.

A piece of meat was directly cut off, Mu You reckoned that the big octopus would definitely hate him now, and it is better not to make trouble in the short term.

Mu You shook his head and closed the game, put away his phone, walked to the octopus foot in the center of the living room, opened the lock core backpack entrance, and first sent the big guy taking up space into the backpack space.

[A broken octopus foot, an excellent gourmet material, you may be able to use it to have a barbecue party. 】

[But you'd better be careful, because the person who eats it will carry the smell of this octopus foot for a short time. You'd better not wander around the octopus during this period, otherwise its body may follow the smell at any time. You take revenge. 】

This is the octopus foot message fed back in the omniscient crystal.

Mu You had a headache after reading this. He thought that the meat of such a powerful creature should have some special functions. For example, it could be used as a weapon or made into precious materials. After eating, it would add some attributes or something. If not, it would give it some divinity. Okay.

In the end, it didn't have any special effects, it was just an ordinary ingredient, and after eating it, the octopus would take revenge. What's the use of that?

Mu You didn't know what to do with this thing for a while, so he could only throw it in the space first.

Fortunately, since this thing can be extracted from the game, it means it has no life, so there is no need to worry about it growing into a complete octopus or something.

Back at the pet shop, Mu You was not in a hurry to play the game again, so he went to watch the progress of the two clones first.

On the Watchman's side, after spending money on online shopping and experiencing the life of a rich man, he finally remembered the business and started to slowly play the game. At this time, he seemed to be paying homage to his former residence, the Watchman's Cottage. In addition, I also bought a bunch of gifts at the old cat store at the door, saying that I was going to visit the old lady at the foot of the Misty Mountain later. As for fighting and upgrading, I didn't pay attention at all.

The progress of the herbal picker is much more serious. When he first entered the game, he borrowed the Moon Scepter directly from Mu You, and started raiding the Tower of the Brave for the first time.

In just a short while, Mu You looked again and found that he had already cleared one hundred floors, but he fell on the last Demon King. At this speed, he might be able to completely clear the Tower of the Brave without waiting for the end of the day. into the real world.

"Are you sure? Do you really want to choose the fire element?" Mu You looked at the herb picker strangely.

After clearing the customs for a round just now, the herbal picker didn't start again, but directly applied to join Lieyang City when he went out, obviously preparing to believe in Vulcan.

"Well, I thought about it very clearly when I was in the Bitter Garden." The herbal picker nodded, proving that it was the result of his deliberation.

Compared with other gods, the Vulcan department has a special meaning besides combat ability: he is the only god of forging, and in the future he can follow the route of a blacksmith and help people create equipment.

Forging this kind of thing, only you know your own needs best. From this point of view, between Muyou and the three avatars, it is best to have one who can believe in Vulcan, and will be responsible for contracting other people's equipment in the future.

And the herb picker didn't count on other clones at all, and silently shouldered the job.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Mu You nodded. If someone is willing to take the initiative to assume the identity of the blacksmith, he is naturally happy to see it.

When he came back to his senses, he also began to think about his secondary beliefs.

He has not yet confirmed his secondary beliefs. First, because of the lack of divinity, it is a bit stretched to support a god of order. It is still somewhat idealistic at this stage to raise two gods at the same time.

The second is because he has not yet determined which department he should choose.

Because the God of Order is generally more supportive, Mu You, the sub-belief, is more inclined to find a department that is more output-oriented. Alternatives include Vulcan, War God, and Moon God. After Lin Xue's Death God spell came out, there was another Death God.

It's a pity that these gods have their own flaws. For example, Reaper, whose damage output seems to be strong, but the occasions where it can be fully exerted are actually very limited. Once it faces good creatures, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Mu You was hesitating when his phone vibrated suddenly.

He opened it and saw that it was a message from Xiaoya.

"Boss, there is a vampire looking for you in Eternal Night City."

"vampire?"

Mu You was taken aback for a moment, and instinctively thought of Mai Yi.

This cheap little sister was arranged by him to find the tomb of the vampire duke before, could there be news?

Thinking of this, Mu You hurriedly returned to the game, and teleported to Eternal Night City to have a look.

【You appeared in Eternal Night City. 】

[The sky of Eternal Night City is still pitch black, but countless lamps have been erected in the city, and the densely packed street lamps are connected in groups, illuminating the city with bright lights. 】

[To the southwest of the city, a city of steel has been vaguely formed. Countless automated mechanical creatures are wandering around the streets, or transporting minerals, or carrying goblins. In the depths of the new clockwork city, tall towers are being built rapidly. middle……】

The southwest of Eternal Night City is the territory allocated to goblins. Under the gimmick of "New Clockwork City", a large number of homeless goblins have been gathered here, and the goblin factory has begun to take shape. The strong labor force provided has gradually begun to complement the construction of Eternal Night City.

【"Brother!" A familiar voice sounded behind you. 】

[Looking back, a bat landed from the sky, landed on the ground, and soon turned into Mai's figure. 】

【I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much, Mai Yi trotted excitedly and rushed to your side, but when she saw your appearance clearly, she immediately froze. 】

【"Brother, are you injured?" Mai looked at you worriedly, and immediately felt your weakness as soon as we met. 】

The weakness is naturally due to the aftereffects of releasing the wind burial cannon. At this time, Mu You didn't have time to chat with her, so he simply dealt with it with a few words, and then went straight to the point.

【You asked Mai, did you find the Duke's tomb? 】

[Mai looks at you apologetically: "I'm sorry, my lord, every duke attaches great importance to the place of his burial, and rarely discloses any clues to the outside world. Mai has not been able to find useful information for the time being...\
