Chapter 151
Chapter 151
During the pure newcomer period when he first came into contact with dungeons, Mingshu often referred to the dungeon tasks recommended by the system and chose one of them.
The system recommendation is generally screened according to the player's physical fitness, psychological state and other aspects, and generally has auxiliary prompts to ensure that the player can complete it smoothly.
Mingshu's overall strength is relatively low, and the missions he took at the beginning were all playing the role of dungeon npc, and occasionally went to large-scale multiplayer missions to gather the number of people, playing soy sauce, and being cannon fodder.
And as his dungeon experience increased, the system recommendations became more and more targeted. There were always good-looking but useless npc characters, and the number of appearances was not many, and of course the points he could get were also few.
Until one morning, a recommendation appeared in Mingshu's taskbar.
【Confidential/Hidden/Trial Operation】
(Click to view a copy after signing the Player Agreement)
Sign the player agreement to watch?Ming Shu had never seen such a copy.
He was very curious, and after struggling for a while, he still couldn't hold back, and clicked on the player agreement.
The first article of the agreement reads: This is a hidden copy that is being trial run. Only players selected by the system can see it. Participation requires signing an additional non-disclosure agreement.
Mingshu took a rough look, probably saying that this dungeon has just been developed and has not been officially put into the system library. It needs a trial run to know whether the dungeon has loopholes or unreasonable places.
This kind of dungeon has always existed. Mingshu has heard of it a few times, but he doesn't know whether other trial run dungeons need to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
He pulled to the end and glanced at the expected points reward, and his heart was suddenly moved.
200 points... This is already a huge sum of money for Mingshu. According to his current progress in accumulating points, the npc who has completed ten dungeons can have this much.
And with so many points, the dungeon difficulty assessment turned out to be extremely easy.
Large rewards, low difficulty... If it weren't for knowing that the system library is almost error-free, Ming Shu almost thought he had run into a scam.
Even if something goes wrong, it is a system problem, and rewards will be issued normally.
Mingshu didn't hesitate for long, and clicked to choose to participate.
After signing the non-disclosure agreement, the real copy task was sent to his panel.
["Fairy Tale Game" series: Copy [-]]
[Purpose of the trial run: To study whether putting npcs that meet the player's preferences into the dungeon will increase the difficulty of the dungeon]
This is a copy of the plot that can be archived, and the script of "Fairy Tale" was also sent to Mingshu in advance.
There are still two days of preparation time before entering the dungeon. During these two days, Ming Shu carefully read the script and the precautions of the dungeon several times.
The story of the script is very simple. There is a village devastated by werewolves. Players will enter the instance as a villager to help the village overcome difficulties and find hidden werewolves.
And Mingshu's task is to play the werewolf npc in the dungeon.
Considering that Mingshu's comprehensive strength is relatively low, and his experience as an important npc is almost zero, the system will also assign an intelligent AI to assist him after he enters the instance.
In the dungeon, he can't take the initiative to say that he is also a player, can't help the player in any way, and can't be passive in the task. He must complete this trial run for the system, otherwise he will be punished.
The system gave several examples of specific punishments, such as erasing consciousness and sending them to the system library to work for 999 years, directly deducting 1 million points, etc.
One last point, Mingshu has already signed two agreements, and in case of emergencies, the system may erase his memory of the dungeon when necessary.Mingshu understands this. If there are too many failures during the trial run, or if you decide to never open the copy again, the data needs to be completely destroyed, including the memory in the player's mind of course.
But what worries him the most is that there will be several players participating in this dungeon, and he seems to be the only npc.
It should be a player with similar experience level as him, Ming Shu thought.
Two days later, the system sent a notice in advance to remind Ming Shu that it was time to enter the dungeon.
Mingshu got ready, and was plunged into darkness.
["Fairy Tale Game" system is being connected...]
[Access complete, creating a character — 1%]
[20%]
[50%]
……
[100%]
[Dungeon scene layout has been completed]
[npc is in place]
After the dizziness brought by the teleportation, Ming Shu opened his eyes and found that he was in a forest.
He was wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and his appearance and body seemed to be the same as his original self.
Ming Shu looked around in a daze, he was the only one in the woods which was quiet.
He opened the system panel and found the character details.
【Name】: Ming Shu
【Sex: Male
【Age】: 19
[Dungeon role]: Werewolf (npc camp)
As he was rummaging for other available information, a prompt popped up.
【Your exclusive AI has arrived】
Ming Shu originally thought that the exclusive AI was an intelligent customer service, and would embed it into the panel in a semi-systematic way, but after waiting patiently for a while, the panel page was quiet and nothing happened.
On the contrary, the grass beside him made a rustling sound, and Ming Shu retreated vigilantly.
The green grass leaves move without wind, as if there is something sticking inside, approaching Mingshu's position all the way.
Until a small moving mushroom came out from between the blades of grass, raised its "head" and looked at Ming Shu.
It is about half the height of a palm, a small one, with a white umbrella handle, a purple umbrella hat, a pair of black sesame eyes under the umbrella hat, and thin hands and feet.
Little Mushroom approached Ming Shu, and said in a slightly immature and inarticulate voice, "Hello."
Ming Shu opened his eyes wide in surprise.
A talking mushroom?
Afterwards, Little Mushroom introduced himself to him: "Are you Mingshu? I am your exclusive AI, here to assist you."
The tone of its sentence was relatively mechanical, and then changed to something vague, as if talking to itself: "I am also a tree mushroom, living in the forest, there are many of the same kind, our hyphae are poisonous, no eat……"
Little Mushroom muttered, as if stumbling over a manuscript: "I am neutral, I can help both villagers and werewolves."
It is serious, but such a small mushroom, Mingshu doubts its function.
He knelt down and lightly touched the umbrella cap of Little Mushroom: "How can you help me?"
This question seemed to stump the little mushroom. It was silent for a moment, then said dully: "Sorry, I didn't find a solution."
As soon as the words fell, it blinked its eyes embarrassingly, and said in a low voice, "Can I ask other questions?"
It seems a little cute...Ming Shu couldn't help but pick up the little mushroom and let it sit in his palm.
"Then what should I do now?" Mingshu asked again, "Where are we?" "This is the forest near the village," Little Mushroom replied, "It's the place where werewolves usually haunt."
It tilted its head and thought for a while, then said, "You have to find a villager first, knock him down, and then change into his form and sneak into the village."
Little Mushroom said that Ming Shu had better complete it within two days, because after two days, other players would enter the instance, and it would be much more difficult for him to infiltrate the village.
Before that, Mingshu could only hide in the woods, trying not to be discovered by anyone.
Werewolves can transform on the night of the full moon, and their strength will increase several times. However, in normal times, forcibly transforming will consume a lot of energy, and the effect is not very good, and it is easy to be hunted down by villagers.
Little Mushroom is very familiar with all the settings of the dungeon. It also knows that it is getting dark. During this time period, most of the villagers travel together. It is definitely not easy for Mingshu to make a move. It is best to wait until tomorrow day.
It sat on Mingshu's hand, guiding him, and leading him to the place deep in the woods where the tree mushrooms lived.
The tree mushrooms live by a small stream, where there are edible wild fruits and small fish in the stream, and there is a small cave nearby, where Mingshu can sleep.
Ming Shu is a werewolf, even if he is in the form of a normal human right now, the tree mushrooms can still smell him, and they all cast repulsive and vigilant eyes.
In the end, it was Little Mushroom who spoke out, explaining that Shu was his friend and wanted to keep him here for two days.
"He's a good wolf," Little Mushroom said seriously, "he won't hurt us."
It seems to be able to switch freely between the intelligent AI and the tree mushroom npc. When it is a tree mushroom, even the tone of speech has a slight change.
Little Mushroom followed Mingshu to the cave, and wanted to rest with him. Mingshu spread the haystack on the ground: "By the way, I haven't had time to ask, what's your name?"
"Name?" Little Mushroom held a small fruit just picked, the fruit was as big as Ming Shu's little finger, it shook its head: "I don't have a name."
As the sky gradually darkened, Ming Shu sat on the thick haystack: "Then let me... give you a name?"
Little Mushroom's eyes lit up, he ate a few bites of fruit and ran to Ming Shu's side, climbed up his trouser legs, and stood on his knees: "What is it?"
Mingshu didn't name anyone, racked his brains to think of several, and let Xiao Mushroom choose by himself.
Little Mushroom asked Mingshu to say several names back and forth several times, and finally chose one reluctantly: "I want to be called Guji."
—
The next day, Little Mushroom led Mingshu to find suitable target villagers.
They found a young man who was alone. He was similar in age and body shape to Mingshu. His disguise would not be too abrupt and peaceful.
The little mushroom volunteered and quietly poured its mycelium into the villagers' kettle.
It was so small that the villagers didn't even notice it, and soon fell to the ground after being poisoned.
When Mingshu came out at this time, a dialog box popped up on the villagers.
[Do you want to choose the appearance of this npc as a disguise? 】
Mingshu clicked Yes, and his appearance and clothes began to be exactly the same as those of the villagers on the ground.
When he completely changed his appearance, the fallen villagers disappeared out of thin air.
Ming Shu looked around: "Where are the villagers just now?"
Little Mushroom rubbed his thin palm: "It was erased by me."
At the same time, Mingshu received two system messages.
[Reminder: The camouflage state is unstable at night, please proceed with caution]
[Reminder: Many players are about to enter the dungeon, please be prepared]
