Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 196: War Qualification, Box in the House

Hearing the familiar voice, Yuanfang stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Li Miao.

"I see. Only by defeating either Exile's Lament or Fission Scream can one be qualified to obtain the [Broken Core]..."

Seeing Li Miao appear here, combined with the prompts given by the game, Yuanfang realized the reason almost instantly.

"You mean..."

Li Miao was stunned when he heard this, and then he also noticed the information in the prompt bar.

[You have obtained the qualification for special regional war]

[This area is not yet open, waiting for the candidate candle spirit...]

[Current Candidates for Candle Spirit: 2/10]

The information prompt was quite eye-catching, but Li Miao's attention was just on the distance and he didn't notice it in time.

"Isn't this a single-player copy..."

Li Miao didn't realize what was happening for a while, and he glanced around the surroundings in confusion.

They seemed to be in a rocky area at this time, and the surrounding area was shrouded in gray fog.

He tried to make contact, but encountered an indescribable resistance, and Zhu Ling's body seemed unable to overcome this obstacle.

“The Quiet Highland dungeon is closely related to the main quest item, the Broken Core.”

"The gray fog will only disappear when the number of candidate candle spirits reaches the required number."

“By then, we will probably be faced with an important and special battle.”

While explaining in the distance, he slowly walked to the center, reached out to touch the guidance of the spirit candle, and after a moment, the milestone spirit candle slowly appeared.

After hearing what he said, Li Miao also reacted.

Well, it turns out it’s not a hidden map…

"Yes."

A deep voice sounded, and a tall figure slowly appeared accompanied by candlelight.

"Candle keeper." Li Miao's eyes lit up.

Rogge nodded slightly at him and looked into the gray fog with a deep gaze: "The conflict between Exile Elegy and Fission Scream originated from this. There is an invisible hand behind the scenes manipulating all this."

Of course he came here to guide.

After all, even though he had used the power of the Spirit Candle to add some obscure explanations to the various drops on the Quiet Platform, the background behind this was still somewhat confusing.

Xia Limi, the miserable exiled singer, had no habit of keeping a diary...

In this case, he had no choice but to take advantage of this guidance and give a reminder.

"This..." Li Miao was a little stunned. His CPU was running obviously slower.

The person in the distance only hesitated for a moment before realizing what the candle keeper meant.

According to the background information currently revealed by the Quiet Platform, there is an obvious irreconcilable contradiction between the [Xalimir Band] and [Seeker Udu].

If Wu wants to find sanity, he must kill all the band members.

And if Xia Limier wants to start the final performance, he must kill Wudu.

But the key point is that there is no clue as to where the conflict between the two comes from.

And now, judging from the information revealed by the Candle Keeper, there was someone behind the scenes manipulating and making all this happen.

As for the person behind this, he is related to the main item [Broken Core]...

After figuring out the key, Yuanfang quickly asked the Candle Keeper: "What impact will the outcome of this war have on us?"

After the gray fog, I'm afraid it won't be a copy anymore... but a special war like facing the Wage Takers.

This will definitely have an impact on Zhuxin Island.

"I can't be sure."

Roger spoke calmly.

“Treasures always follow storms.”

"Warriors of Candlelight, prepare the ships. The decision is in your hands."

After saying this, his figure disappeared.

It seems that the Candle Keeper does not intend to interfere too much in this matter.

"I understand! The culprit who deceived Wudu should be..." Li Miao suddenly realized and clapped his hands. But when he saw the candle keeper suddenly disappeared, he was surprised and asked: "Huh? Why did the candle keeper leave?"

She glanced at him from a distance, then silently looked away without saying anything.

After a moment, he stood up.

"… Let's go back first and tell the others this news."

Watching the person leaving in the distance, Li Miao's face suddenly turned red. Was he too slow to react just now?

I didn't even react to the meaning of the Candle Keeper game AI's words...

……

At present, the difficulty of the Quiet Platform is still like Hawking's Hurdles for most players - an insurmountable hurdle.

Whether it is Exile's Elegy or Fission Scream, their strength is extremely abnormal, which leads to players' very low tolerance rate, and all their efforts will be wasted if they are not careful.

Some players even lost their defense and started cursing on the forum.

But this has become Lingzhu's daily routine and is not surprising.

What really attracted the players' attention was the news brought back by Yuanfang and Li Miao.

There are only ten people qualified for the special regional war!

"I'll do it. There are only ten places. What the hell is this? I'm just a ember now."

"That's right, there's obviously something wrong with the game design. Why can't we, the later players, play something new like this? I'm really convinced."

"Rubbish game, quit playing."

"What's the name of the Embers Imp? I, a veteran Slag player, can't even play it."

"Tsk, you can call yourself a veteran player, Slag? Sit down, don't be rude in front of Charcoal!"

Well, now the spiritual candles have begun to show a strict hierarchy.

Most players are aware of their own strength and know that they have no chance of winning this special war. After complaining a few words, they continue to work hard.

Among the game players, the discussion was also very heated.

Storyteller: "Someone caused the conflict between the Xia Limier Band and the Seekers? Hmm... It seems that the static plot and the dynamic plot are also connected. It's really an interesting setting, and it fits the background setting very well."

Storyteller: "But who is the mastermind behind this peaceful platform... The Wage Taker? Or the Fool's Shadow?"

The person sitting there said, "You can make another video."

Hearing this, the storyteller flew into a rage: "What do you mean, you look down on my professional level, right?"

"At least we have to make it in two parts."

“……” Seeing that he seemed somewhat complacent, Wang Dao was speechless.

Brother Miao did not fail the exam: "I will post your speech on the forum later."

Storyteller: "Brother, come on, I was just kidding."

Just as they were discussing the plot, Brother Mangzi, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly showed up.

Fighting is awesome: "Hahaha, I passed, I fucking passed!"

Fighting is awesome: "Finally I beat this bastard."

Fighting is awesome: "This cliff is really hard to jump off. I'm dying of all my wax."

Battle Cool: "And when will the regional war behind this rift begin?"

He must have learned his lesson this time and read the chat history, but not much.

Otherwise, he might not know how to trigger the two bosses, Exile's Elegy and Fission Scream... Brother Miao did not fail the exam: "Great, it's Brother Mangzi, we are doomed!"

Fighting is cool: “?”

Poetry and Distance: "Are there only three of us? What about the others?"

Fighting Cool: "I don't know, but Bulong is still fighting. I think he has no hope tonight."

Miao Ge did not fail the exam: "@Storyteller, why don't you enter the dungeon?"

Storyteller: "Brother, I am a civil servant."

Seeing his answer, Li Miao couldn't help but roll his eyes.

I feel like this guy isn't here to play games at all. He just runs around in Lingzhu looking for video materials all day long. Damn freeloader.

As for paying with coins, the little broken website should provide an option for viewers to deduct coins, so that they will owe it.

Brother Miao did not fail the exam: "This kid has never come out of the shore? What's the situation over there?"

Li Miao remembered Shangan and others who entered the [Box in the House] copy.

Storyteller: "Of course it has been out. You can see it if you turn the pages a little higher."

Storyteller: "Come to think of it, the dungeon they went to is really interesting. I want to team up with others to play it."

……

Meanwhile, in the interesting dungeon [Box in the House], the five-man team had just experienced a total annihilation...

[The Kingdom Giant failed, it was angry and eliminated all abnormal chess pieces. ]

【die】

The capitalized font appeared in the sight of the five people along with the changing scenery before their eyes.

"It looks like if the whole team is wiped out in this instance, we will just go back to the initial state and start over."

In a simple wooden house shrouded in darkness, Shangan spoke depressedly.

The scene in the huge house gradually distorted, and was eventually swallowed by darkness, and then began to distort and reorganize...

The [Box in the House] copy they encountered this time can be said to be completely different from previous regional copies.

The five-man team appeared in a small, dilapidated house in a corner.

In front of them were two huge serving plates, divided into the [Kingdom] and [Monsters]. Many puppets were placed on the serving plates on both sides.

When they step into the serving dish, they become one of the puppets and gradually become unable to move.

Until the giant with a blurry body came over with a pure white box and put the doll on the plate into the box.

Once inside the box, the highlight begins.

They will no longer be puppets and can act independently.

This copy does not have fixed exploration areas or obvious "monsters".

They will belong to the camp they are placed on the plate in. Even if they are all candle spirits now, they will oppose each other if they make different choices.

The two camps are controlled by two giants whose shapes cannot be seen clearly in this huge stone house.

They use the box as the chessboard, and the players are the chess pieces.

"Damn it, I can't bet on both sides..." Niu Niu scratched his head: "I can't go to the same camp, why didn't you remind me earlier."

Before the team was wiped out, the five-man team didn't know much about the box in the house, so they naturally chose to bet on both sides.

Then the ending was that one side won, and the giants on the other side couldn't afford to lose, so they just eliminated them all.

boom--

After a loud bang, the two serving plates reappeared in front of the cabin, and everyone was almost ready and recovered.

"Ah...how do we choose now? Which side should we go to?" After taking a look at the huge serving plate, Gua Gua turned to look at Niu Niu.

The situation just now was very clear. The result of betting on both sides would only lead to total destruction.

So now they can only choose one camp.

"Why don't we choose monsters? I feel like the chess pieces here are more powerful, and the giants playing chess are smarter." The Scheming Frog suggested.

Following his gaze, on the chessboard of the [Monsters] side, there were all kinds of strange and hideous dolls, but at this moment they were frozen in place.

"That makes sense." Gua Gua nodded in agreement.

But Niu Niu shook his head: "My suggestion is to choose the Kingdom camp."

"What do you mean?" Frog asked curiously.

Niu Niu looked at the Kingdom giant in the huge stone house and chuckled: "The giant on the Kingdom side is obviously a guy that we can't afford to play with. I guess it will help us cheat. Do you remember the thunderstorm before?"

After Niu Niu said this, the others also recalled what had just happened.

After listening to this, Guagua nodded again: "That makes sense."

Gray Sky thought for a moment and nodded: "I agree to go to the Kingdom Giant's side."

Shangan said it didn't matter: "It's all right, as long as I can open the box."

He had seen many treasure chests on the previous chessboard, but he just didn't have time to open them.

Frog also nodded: "I have no objection."

"Well, go ahead."

Niu Niu nodded, then took a deep breath, took the lead, and with a running jump, landed on the white chessboard.

After an inexplicable force wrapped around him for a moment, his body turned into waxy white and remained motionless.

Seeing this, the other four followed closely and jumped up.

It seemed that their actions had affected the area, and the two blurry figures in the huge stone house began to move.

Soon after, two huge hands held up the chessboard.

The chessboard is dragged and the pure white box is opened, revealing two opposing areas.

There are platinum-colored [Kingdom] and black-purple-colored [Monsters], with castles, city walls, houses, and other strongholds.

The candle spirit bodies of the five-member team were unable to move and could only communicate with each other through the channel.

My son failed the exam, so I got on board: "Oh, you know what, this CG animation is so fucking awesome, the whistling wind, the giant feeling... it's so shocking."

My hamster is called Gua Gua: "Yes, yes, this copy feels great!"

Scheming Frog: "I feel like this should be an entertainment copy."

I did push-ups with the bull: "Indeed, sometimes death makes absolutely no sense."

Gray Sky: "The first round of plot is here."

As the sky issued a reminder, everyone turned their attention back and looked at the two blurry huge bodies.

[The two giants had an argument because of the unequal number of chess pieces]

[The chess pieces of the five kingdoms are distributed, awaiting the decision of the giant, but it is obviously unlikely that equality will be achieved...]

[Unless the chess piece is broken in half]

When he saw this plot information, Shangan, who was coincidentally classified as one of the five chess pieces, suddenly felt a pang in his heart.

Then he watched helplessly as a large hand laid him flat and pinched one side of him, as if it was really going to break him in half.

"Cao Nima, Wan La!"

He cried out in grief when he came ashore.

Others couldn't help but gloat over this.

Although coming ashore only means dying once, you will be forced to wait for the next time to rearrange the chess pieces.

I did push-ups with the bull: "Rest in peace, bro. I opened your box for you with great reluctance."
