Weird Calendar

Qin Ze could not interpret the information that Li Lu obtained through exploration as well as Jian Yiyi.

After all, Jian Yiyi has a lot of knowledge about the old calendar. When Qin Ze saw this, he at least did not expect that this was a territorial dispute between the worthy gods and the fallen worthy gods.

But he kept this information in his mind:

"After you go back, just ask the team leader. If you don't keep it all, there will be clues to the hidden path mentioned by the team leader."

The countdown ends soon and the exploration time reaches zero.

Qin Ze noticed that there were two entrances next. What appeared in his eyes were two arrows.

In other words, including the entrance to exit the tower, there are three ways in total.

So Qin Ze began to build a map in his mind.

"An arrow points upward, meaning to go to the upper level."

"The other one points to the left..."

"First of all, I need to know one thing. One of the side missions is to find a very important person and meet her."

"Gu Anxun's pink mission seems to indicate that I can meet Qiao Wei through Gu Anxun's advice?"

"It seems like this tower has two main halls on each floor."

"If I choose the arrow pointing to the left, then I might enter the hall where Qiao Wei is?"

Qin Ze thinks this is reasonable.

If Qiao Wei is really there, and there is only one main hall on each floor of the Silkworm Tower, then it stands to reason that Qiao Wei, who enters the tower first, will clear out the monsters.

But now the monster was solved by his own team, which means that either Qiao Wei has not entered the tower yet, or she is at the other end of the tower.

Of course, this premise is that the person Gu Anxun is looking for, as well as the important people mentioned in the side mission, all point to Qiao Wei.

Qin Ze didn't care that Gu Anxun would also meet Qiao Wei when they met. In fact, if Gu Anxun met Qiao Wei again——

It is very likely that Qiao Wei will completely give up on Gu Anxun, which is also a good thing.

But he was a little unsure. If Qiao Wei was allowed to meet him, what would the team leader's attitude be during the process?

Although the team leader has never met Qiao Wei, he and Lan Yu have both met Xiao Qiao.

Xiao Qiao and Qiao Wei are exactly the same. And Qiao Wei’s photos are not hard to find.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. Since Qiao Wei chose the left, I don't need to go there, because there are no monsters to kill, and there are no additional clues to get."

"Just meet her at the top."

In fact, Qin Ze longs to see Qiao Wei more than anyone else, but love itself involves restraint.

He also needs some time to judge how to avoid conflicts when meeting Qiao Wei now.

Thinking of this, Qin Ze chose to walk up.

The moment he made his choice, a [Second Layer] prompt appeared in his eyes.

Next, darkness completely enveloped the entire hall.

…

…

Li Lu opened her eyes. She was following Lan Yu, Gu An, Xun Jian and the others one by one. She felt quite confident...

But when she opened her eyes and found that there was no one around, Li Lu fell into fear again.

"You, you, you...where are you guys?"

The voice was hollow and echoed, and because she was so frightened that she was trembling and speechless, the overlapping of the voices was even more obvious.

But the scariest thing is - no response.

Jian Yiyi, Gu Anxun, and Lan Yu were all in this dark hall, but none of them could notice the presence of friendly forces.

Lan Yu's expression was solemn:

"Jian Yiyi, where are you? Can you hear my voice?"

Lan Yu, who has extremely powerful senses, can sense that Jian Yiyi is definitely nearby, but strangely, it seems that his message cannot be conveyed to Jian Yiyi.

Jian Yiyi did not hear any sound. He tried to communicate with Qin Ze:

"It's a bit dangerous this time... Ozawa, can you solve it?"

Jian Yiyi was actually not sure whether he could communicate with "player" Qin Ze.

But he was sure that Qin Ze was the one controlling them.

"I'm not sure if you can hear me, but I'll pretend you can."

“What’s happening now is that our ability to deliver information seems to have been taken away from us.”

"I clearly feel that there are companions around me, but I can't communicate with them..."

"Besides, there are only two lines of sight. It should be two lines, right? From your perspective."

Jian Yiyi actually found it very interesting in his heart, but he was also really worried about the situation of other teammates.

It's a pity that his voice could not be conveyed to Qin Ze.

The picture that appeared in Qin Ze's eyes was indeed that of the player——

"Map shadow, fog of war..."

This time the map is completely black. Only the circle around the character can see two grids of map.

The most important thing is that Qin Ze himself cannot see several characters at the same time.

He can only choose to focus on a certain character, but he cannot overlook the entire map like in the previous game.

The preparation time is still only sixty seconds.

Qin Ze quickly conceived the difficulties and details of this second level in his mind.

"The difficulty of this level is that the connection between the characters is severed, and now it is more like four characters fighting alone."

"If only the team leader and the big star are left in the team, it actually doesn't matter. These two bad guys can crush the whole game, or even kill the entire map square by square."

"It doesn't matter if Li Lu and Gu Anxun die... they will only be slightly injured in reality."

"But I have to let them live. On the one hand, if I will definitely see Qiao Wei, I can use Qiao Wei's words to make Gu Anxun give up."

Although dog licking is very useful and Qin Ze doesn't care about Gu Anxun, if possible, Qin Ze still hopes that Gu Anxun will give up soon.

In the future, if I meet a female Old Calendar person, I can also help introduce her.

"On the other hand, there is Li Lu. Li Lu seems to be able to explore the memories here through some things on the enemy."

"Li Lu's value lies in supplementing the plot of the Old Calendar. It is very likely that Li Lu can dig out the secrets of the Golden Calendar manuscript."

"So I'd better keep these two. But how do I do that?"

At least Li and Gu couldn't be attacked offline.

So in this absolutely dark condition, how can Li Lu and Gu Anxun meet with Jian Yilan and Lan Yu?

"The topographic contours of the first and second layers should be consistent. The first layer is square."

"The first level also has a border. If all the chess pieces are moved in one direction, then the chess pieces will definitely touch the border."

"If we act together in the other direction along the border, the second time we hit the border, everyone will be together."

"This is a feasible method, but this method cannot guarantee that you will not be attacked during the process of touching the border..."

Qin Ze made a judgment in his heart, and the next step was to optimize the details. If Li Lu and Gu Anxun could not be prevented from being attacked, then make sure that they were beaten less often.

"Think carefully, is there any other place I can use..."

"In the first level, Gu Anxun's shooting range was very far, covering less than half of the map."

"Maybe I can use Gu Anxun to launch an attack. If Gu Anxun's attack range is complete, it means that his position has not touched the boundary."

"If Gu Anxun's attack range is incomplete and one side is blocked...this means that that side is an area outside the map and cannot be attacked, which means it has touched the boundary."

"In this way, I can first determine the approximate location of Gu Anxun. This will have a reference coordinate."

Soon the preparation phase is over, the game officially begins, and it is the turn of the monsters to take action.

But this time Qin Ze and others could not see the monster's actions.

I can only wait silently for "my turn" to arrive.

This kind of waiting is not bad for Qin Ze. For Li Lu, who has a non-game perspective, the pressure is huge.

She only felt the footsteps of monsters in the darkness.

She couldn't hear any sounds from her companions, but the monsters could.

The grunting sound coming from the monster's throat and the sound of footsteps as it moved frightened Li Lu.

Suddenly, a frightened face appeared behind Li Lu, and the figure appeared suddenly.

Although the sound was approaching step by step, Li Lu never saw it at first, so she comforted herself that she would not encounter a monster.

But apparently she wasn't very lucky.

She turned her head suddenly and saw a human body wrapped in silk appearing behind her.

And even though the face was wrapped in silk like a mummy, the sunken contours of the facial features still put together an expression of horror.

Li Lu was so frightened that her legs became weak.

Fortunately, this silk puppet is still one space away from Li Lu.

The visibility is two squares, the monster is one square outside, and the attack range is one square, which also makes the monster unable to attack Li Lu.

Li Lu could only pray that the power that controlled her could help her avoid danger.

…

…

Soon it was Qin Ze's turn.

Qin Ze carefully observed what happened during the round - there was a silk puppet around Li Lu, but luckily it was not within the attack range.

"The direction comes from the lower right corner."

Qin Ze was not in a hurry. The round lasted three minutes, which was plenty of time for him.

He did not move Li Lu, but first observed Gu Anxun's attack range.

Qin Ze noticed that in the area to Gu Anxun's left, there were several red slashes in the attack range, which meant that attacks could not be launched in these places.

"That's good. Gu Anxun is on the left side of the map... Just ask Gu Anxun to walk downwards."

Qin Ze's idea is to have Li Lu, Lan Yu, and Gu Anxun gather in the lower left corner.

Use the walls on the left and below as bunkers, which are the boundaries of the game, as a defense to prevent enemies from the front and back.

However, Qin Ze did not move Gu Anxun immediately, he just observed the attack range.

Gu Anxun was still on standby, without consuming any mobility.

The first chess piece that Qin Ze moved was Lan Yu.

Because Lan Yu has the strongest mobility and is rated SS, the more grids he moves in, the greater the probability that Lan Yu will encounter other people and monsters.

But unfortunately, Lan Yu didn't meet anyone else.

Next, Qin Ze moved Jian Yiyi. But Jian Yiyi's direction is to the upper right.

"It's enough for Lan Yu to protect the two of them. The team leader can act alone in the opposite direction, which can increase fault tolerance. Avoid putting eggs in one basket."

Qin Ze did not rule out the possibility that Jian Yiyi might be closer to the lower left.

But he would not gamble. Lan Yu was more mobile and had a higher chance of reaching Gu Anxun and Li Lu first.

Of course, if Li Lu is in the upper right corner and Lan Yu keeps walking toward the lower left, it may only increase the distance between him and Li Lu——

Then arranging Jane to walk up and to the right one by one can be regarded as a countermeasure against this possibility.

As for the reason why Jian Yiyi and Lan Yu took the lead, it was very simple——

These two people are both bad guys. Killing monsters can restore their mobility. In this way, they can continue to explore and find Gu Anxun and Li Lu before they take action.

Of course, everything is ideal. Unfortunately, Jian Yiyi did not encounter the monster.

This made Qin Ze realize that most of the monsters might come from the upper left corner or the lower right corner.

Therefore, choosing to travel in the lower left corner is the correct judgment.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Ze moved Gu Anxun and headed downwards.

Finally, Qin Ze moved Li Lu, also heading towards the lower left.

Fortunately, Li Lu did not encounter any enemies.

In the first round, Qin Ze's team was hidden in the darkness. In the second round, everything changed again.

This time, two monsters appeared on Gu Anxun's right side, but they did not enter the attack range and were unable to attack Gu Anxun.

At the same time, Lan Yu and Jian Yiyi also encountered monsters.

Although the trajectory of the monster's movements cannot be clearly seen, the monster is like a net, gradually shrinking.

Lan Yu was attacked by a monster, but did not lose much health.

Soon it was Qin Ze's turn again.

Qin Ze's reaction to the darkness was also more calm:

"On the first level, Gu Anxun's attack range occupied approximately a quarter of the map."

"According to the design of the tower, the area of ​​the second floor will not be larger than that of the first floor, and the area difference between the two floors should be very small."

"Based on the difference between the movement range and the attack range, I can calculate the longest number of rounds required to cross the map."

The overall map has been almost constructed in Qin Ze's mind.

"The mvp of this game is a big star."

Qin Ze controlled Lan Yu to kill the monsters around him and headed down to the left.

This time, Qin Ze is very lucky. As the monster encirclement network shrinks, the probability of Qin Ze's chess pieces encountering monsters has increased.

After Lan Yu killed the monster, the kill streak buff was indeed triggered.

After his mobility was full again, Qin Ze asked Lan Yu to move all the way to the lower left.

Along the way, Lan Yu was worthy of being an ace player who could catch up with Jian Yiyi, killing continuously.

It was obvious that both Gu Anxun and Li Lu had morale-lowering buffs, and even Li Lu had a "fear" buff, which caused all attribute ratings to be reduced by one level.

But Lan Yu actually had an "uplifting" buff.

Qin Ze realized that in exploring the realm of the past, strategy is only an aid, and one must be strong enough to forge the iron.

If they weren't trying to protect the weak in this level of predicament, Lan Yu and Jian Yiyi could simply close their eyes and get through it.

In short, Lan Yu continued to encounter enemies by relying on his own efforts.

It's not all luck.

First of all, as the enemy's encirclement network continues to shrink, the probability of encountering the enemy increases a lot.

Secondly, Lan Yu himself has the strongest mobility, the most walking grids, and the greatest possibility of encountering enemies.

In particular, Lan Yu and Jian Yiyi are both highly motivated to fight.

Before Lan Yu's mobility is used up, he can fill it up again when encountering monsters.

The existence of the monster is like Lan Yu's gas station.

After repeating this several times, Lan Yu not only touched the boundary, but also appeared next to Li Lu like a god descending to earth!

"I'm lucky."

This game really depends on luck, and there is no absolutely safe solution.

What Qin Ze can do is to use various known data to make the most efficient course of action.

Fortunately, his luck is not too bad. The right approach, the right amount of luck—

Let him complete the convergence of the strong and the weak. At the second level, there is no more suspense.

The next few rounds are all garbage time.

Qin Ze quickly brought Lan Yu, Gu Anxun and Li Lu together.

During this period, Gu Anxun was attacked twice, but he still had more than half of his health left, which was not fatal.

Li Lu was completely unharmed and was well protected by Lan Yu.

When the three people got together, Jian Yiyi on the diagonal also began to move towards the three people.

In the seventh round, Jane killed a special monster one by one - the whole hall suddenly became bright.

As the hall became brighter, in the next round, Qin Ze controlled everyone and killed all the monsters.

At this point, the second level is cleared.

…

…

"Is this a win?"

Gu Anxun didn't even know what was going on. He only felt that the surroundings were dark and he was being dragged around by that force...

Then, after a few rounds, the monsters were completely dead or injured.

The darkness dissipated and the rules that blocked the exchange of information were eliminated.

Gu Anxun was attacked twice by monsters and was already injured. He knew that such a monster would only need to attack him six times before he would die.

Originally, Gu Anxun was thinking that in this boundless darkness, the monster could see him, but he couldn't see the monster, so he was dead.

But he didn't expect that he could survive.

Jane pointed to the black torch not far away one by one.

"It looks like we got a good harvest."

Jian Yiyi killed the monsters guarding the black torch, so that there was light again in the hall.

Lan Yu said:

"This looks like an old thing."

Li Lu has heard that the objects of the old calendar come from the realm of the old calendar and have powerful powers.

She was a little excited. The fear she had just experienced was rewarded, and everything was worth it.

But she soon realized that the main players in this recruitment were Lan Yu and Jian Yiyi, and even if there were spoils, they did not belong to her.

Gu Anxun also realized how powerful this thing was.

The black torch can obviously plunge the area into darkness and block the transmission of information.

If you get this thing in your hands, it will definitely be of great use.

"Exploring the realm of the Old Calendar, you may get many things, including Old Calendar items..."

"But I'm not qualified to take it."

Gu Anxun understood that he was the one being protected and was not qualified to choose the trophies.

But what surprised him was that Jian Yiyi didn't choose the trophies either.

Jian Yiyi said:

"This thing from the old calendar is not our trophy, so don't worry about it."

At the same time, the interface in Qin Ze’s eyes looked like this——

【Obtain the Old Calendar Object·The Darkest Torch. 】

[Your Old Calendar level is 2, and the number of Old Calendar items that can be carried to reality is 1. Once this item is taken away, other Old Calendar items cannot be taken away later. (Except special items)】

With the above information in his mind, Qin Ze once again realized the importance of "quality".

Only by improving the level of the old calendar can we realize "the more we get, the more we get".

For the "I Want It All" players, moments like this are the most uncomfortable.

I'm reluctant to lose it, but there will be better ones later.

Qin Ze sighed:

“It’s nice to drop equipment, but it’s very uncomfortable because the backpack only has one slot.”
