Game Invasion: A new term for each level

Zhang Yi parked his car 100 meters in front of the castle.

After getting off the bus, there was a small military green tent in front of us, where some logistics personnel were carrying lamps or computers.

In the corner were several cots, and two men were squatting to one side, carrying cold weapons tucked under their shoulders.

Upon seeing Zhang Yi, the two stood up and greeted him.

The special game instance, 【The Castle】, also needs to be guarded by some people, since there are always people from the Seeking Truth Society lurking in the shadows, posing a constant threat.

Zhang Yi led the two to a screen that projected a net-like 3D image, shaped exactly like the ancient castle in front of them.

However, the real castle was damaged and drafty, but modern technology restored it to its original appearance.

Zhang Yi explained to Yang Hui, "This is a 3D map of the entire castle. Although it's damaged now, it will change after the game starts. We've done some basic repairs and restored the original layout."

"What you need to pay attention to is this! There's a hidden secret room underground! It's very well hidden. The rest of the layout is typical of European castles."

"The castle belonged to the Elias family hundreds of years ago. According to the available information, one night, the entire family was engulfed in a fire. That night was the patriarch's birthday banquet, and there were also some other nobles who had been invited. None of them survived."

"After the game instance begins, observations outside reveal that the castle will rewind to that night, and some temporary characters will appear."

Yang Hui memorized the map of the castle, then asked a question: "We cleared the level to prevent the monsters inside from escaping, but why don't we set up an ambush around the area and catch them all when they come out?"

"Good question!" Xu Qinglan nodded and said, "But do you know how powerful the monsters inside are?"

"Uh." Yang Hui scratched his head.

"Do you know how destructive it will be after it's released? If it happens in a busy city, how will casualties be calculated? Isn't it more efficient to clear the level as a group? How many people will we need to handle it? What if the monsters that spawn are too strong to deal with? What if even more people die?"

Yang Hui raised his hands in surrender. He hadn't really considered these things carefully; he was only thinking about solving the problem in the simplest way possible.

"Furthermore, monsters in game instances may be subject to certain rules, but if they break free, they might really do whatever they want."

Xu Qinglan concluded, "How about I enroll you in a class so you can be classmates with Yan Yiming? You can study properly then?"

Yang Hui covered his face, realizing he had asked a rather foolish question. After decades of development, the Bureau's current approach was probably the best option at present.

Zhang Yi interrupted, "Alright, time's almost up. I look forward to your success."

Yang Hui passed through the tent, and the ancient castle in front of him was bathed in the morning sun, with some rosy light spilling out from the gap.

He stood amidst the bricks and rubble, and could see the former glory in the rusted copper reliefs on the walls.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Yang Hui's back.

The game instance has come to life, and someone has to clear it, otherwise the monsters will invade Earth and cause unimaginable disasters. The experience points and treasure chest rewards are more like rewards for the brave.

The countdown timer on the dilapidated castle started ticking.

00: 00: 30

Yang Hui glanced back at Xu Qinglan, her eyes firm and bright. She believed that Yang Hui could definitely pass the [Ancient Castle] level!

The countdown ticked slowly and steadily.

Yang adjusted his breathing to prepare for any unexpected situation.

00: 00: 03

Yang Hui held the bottle overflowing with blood in his hand.

Countdown is over!

The next instant!

The countdown, which had been emitting a stable orange light, suddenly turned red, reflecting on everyone's face.

00: 00: 00

It was as thick as blood, flowing down like melted candle wax.

Yang Hui heard a voice and a screen of light unfolded before his eyes!

[Ding-dong~]

[Game dungeon open!]

[The Elias family's bloody feast!]

[Difficulty of this dungeon: C+ (Hard)]

[Instance Type: Escape!]

Suitable for levels 1-15

Your bloodline is inferior and weak, destined to be a sacrifice at the family feast, like a lamb to the slaughter. Can you escape before dawn?

Yang Hui breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just an escape-type game instance. As long as he took out everyone, it would be fine.

No matter what happens.

He went in and unleashed full firepower! I'll consider your castle a sturdy structure if he doesn't blast it to smithereens!

suddenly!

The overflowing blood on Yang Hui's hand floated up; the blood inside was a deep, almost black red. The bottle was turned upside down, and the blood smeared onto the light screen.

The lines of text were covered up, and then new prompts and sounds appeared one after another.

Your lineage has been detected as noble and rare.

[The game instance has begun rebuilding.]

[Ding-dong~]

[Game dungeon open!]

[The Elias family's bloody feast!]

[Difficulty of this dungeon: C+ (Dangerous)]

[Instance Type: Role-playing!]

Suitable for levels 1-15

[Your bloodline is noble and rare; you have become an adopted son-in-law of the Elias family, and your wife is the family's eldest daughter, Estella Elias! Can you, as an adopted son-in-law, uncover the hidden truth behind the Elias family tonight?]

[Current progress in knowing the truth: 0%]

Is this the difference between level 10 and level 10?

Ruined!

This time, you can't just beat the game by force.

It's obvious that the difficulty has increased.

He must spend one night posing as a son-in-law to uncover the truth behind the Elias family.

In that case, we can't just kill people indiscriminately. If we accidentally kill someone who knows important information, we're doomed.

Yang Hui looked miserable. If you asked him to go up to the arena and fight ten people at once, he wouldn't even flinch.

But getting him to use his brain to explore information is a bit difficult.

He's a warrior, not good with words!

Yang Hui's vocabulary pairings do not primarily focus on investigation and mind control.

But we can only take it one step at a time.

Suddenly, everything went black before his eyes. A few seconds later, when he opened his eyes again, everything in front of him had changed.

What Yang Hui saw was an unfamiliar heraldic dome.

The leaves and grasses in the stone carving were tinged with a dark red by the candlelight.

He was wearing a dark gray tailcoat with silver trim, the front of which was low, revealing the vest underneath and six finely crafted mother-of-pearl buttons.

His body was encased in layers of fabric.

The iron pillar at the head of the bed was digging into the back of Yang Hui's neck, and leather buckles were tightly binding his wrists and ankles.

Yang Hui dared not exert any force, as he had not yet figured out what was going on.

He turned his head.

A pair of ample thighs came into view.

The garter stockings with pure white lace trim hugged her soft skin, looking sexy and alluring.

Looking further up, one could see a thin silk undergarment, and she was draped in a red silk dress that resembled a cicada's wing.

The woman saw that Yang Hui had woken up, and the hem of her skirt swept across the bronze candlestick at the foot of the bed.

She straddled him.

The light flickered.

Yang Hui felt a chill run down his spine instantly, as he could clearly see the slender blade beneath the lace, very close to his crotch.

"You piece of trash! You just embarrassed me in public! How could the Elias family have a coward like you!"

Yang Hui thought to himself: Is it already this exciting right after we came in?
