Five people lined up, ready to enter, and Rin was the last one.
At this moment, Leviathan suddenly thought of something, nodded secretly, took out a large flag from under the table, and blocked all the seats.
"Rin-chan? Come on!!!"
Lin didn't know what was wrong with her. She was frightened when she saw the big black heart. She turned around, gritted her teeth and jumped in.
When all the contestants entered, more than a dozen huge screens floating above the stadium lit up, broadcasting the entire event live from multiple angles, providing the most intuitive and clear images.
The audience was buzzing.
……
Traveling through time and space is always a little uncomfortable, not to mention that the ancient gods and the Great Old Ones of the Cthulhu Mythos faction have a very low synchronization rate, and the Holy Spirit generally will never feel comfortable when it comes to their world.
When Lin opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by black fog, and a fishy and rotten smell filled his face, a unique swamp smell.
I don’t know who designed the environment. The black clouds in the sky look like whirlpools that can only be seen in abstract paintings. The whole world seems to be distorted.
In the distance, the roars of wild beasts and strange, harsh, unknown noises could be heard faintly.
"The warrior from afar, Darabonbabandebedibudobirwong~"
A long voice sounded in my ears, it was a serious narration from a little girl who was pretending to be an adult.
It’s just… Damn, what language did you say later? Why didn’t I understand?
"A long time ago, there was a terrifying squid girl who was determined to invade the world~"
"She brought disaster to the kingdom and stole a treasure given to Princess Nyarlathotep by the great witch Azathoth!"
The more Lin listened, the weirder his expression became. In the end, his hair stood on end. He raised his hands and clasped his fists: "Wait! Boss, don't feed poison in fairy tales!"
Oh my god, how can a squid like Cricket steal the treasure of one of the most powerful bosses of the Old Ones?
Unfortunately, the girl narrating the story didn't seem to hear Rin's whimpers at all. She just paused for a moment before continuing in her pitiful voice.
“Not only that, she also hid the poor princess’s treasure deep in the castle deep in this maze~”
"In addition, the giant dragon Kuntukuta Katikotsuwasirasong was sent to guard the castle, 嘤嘤嘤~"
"Oh, oh, oh, the most beautiful and pitiful princess has lost her appetite for even her favorite tiramisu because of the loss of her treasure. The whole country is sad!"
"Brave warrior Darabonbabandebedibudobirwong, cross the swamp and jungle and go to the castle of Mundarukliusbogubiqibale to retrieve the treasure for the poor and ownerless princess Nyarlathotep!"
"Well, could you please answer this question, is there any direct connection between Squid Girl's invasion of the world and her search for the princess's treasure?"
"And you're all Cthulhu-type, so why are you killing each other? Oh, and how did you get in touch with the dragon clan? You even found a giant dragon to play the villain. How much is the death pension?"
The narrator was stunned for three seconds, then became angry and embarrassed.
"Just go find it as soon as you are told. Why are you complaining so much? Believe it or not, I will increase the difficulty for you! From normal to hell?!"
...Well, Rin had always thought that the narration was planned, but it turns out...it was just improvisation.
Not bad, not bad. The tongue twister in the last paragraph is not something that most people can recite quickly in one breath.
However, even if you increase the difficulty, it will at most go from super easy to relatively easy.
Lin felt that the girls of Cthulhu not only looked strange, but also had bad tempers, so it was better not to provoke them. He wanted to take out his cell phone to find some equipment in the space, but was shocked to find that the use of the space was prohibited here.
In other words, even weapons require luck to find, and they may not be suitable for your hands.
"It doesn't matter. There has never been a sport in this world that is difficult for me."
Lin waved his hand, and a large amount of "air" gushed out, affecting the air flow and turning into a hurricane, dispersing the methane and poisonous fog covering the large swamp. Then he swaggered forward two steps.
The swamp was quite large, and there was no place to stand in sight in the distance. Rin was planning to fly up and step across, but then he heard the voice of a narrator in his ears.
"Brave man, please do not break the rules. You are not allowed to use the original space and flying skills unless you encounter the corresponding flying props or skill cards here."
…What’s the difference between that and a large-scale virtual game?
If you think about it carefully, the difference is still huge. Although there are restrictions on flight and weapons, there is no limit on one's own strength. It is probably designed to increase the difficulty for everyone and make the game more watchable.
Since he couldn't fly, Rin could only find a way to get through the swamp in front of him.
In the swamp, black hands would pop out from time to time, and various octopus tentacles would occasionally surface. Interspersed among them were prehistoric crocodiles that were five times larger than his body. It really made it difficult for the level designers.
I don’t have any props... I can’t fly... So I can only lure the monsters and kill them all?
Thinking of this, Lin picked up a wooden stick from the ground and threw it towards the big black hand and its arm that was relatively close, intending to see whether these monsters were good at close combat or long-range combat.
However, just as he struck with his stick, his palm dived into the water and hit the head of a giant prehistoric crocodile.
The branch he infused with "inflated air" was equivalent to a cannonball, which hit the giant crocodile's head, immediately making a "bang bang" explosion sound, and even splashing out the surrounding swamp soil.
Even though the giant crocodile had thick skin and armor that was no less thick than the dragon scales of a small dragon, a blow from Lin broke a layer of its skin, and it writhed and roared in pain.
Mud was splashing everywhere, but Lin didn't care about the giant in front of him. He flexed his arms and prepared to warm up for a fight.
The roaring crocodile twisted its thick neck, opened its huge mouth and revealed its sharp teeth, and swung left and right, forcibly blinding Rin who was on the shore...
Just then, he saw a thick tentacle popping out from the side. His eyes instantly turned red. He burst into anger and bit the tentacle.
The giant tentacle that was ambushed was stunned and exploded instantly. The entire swamp was shaking violently, the mud water level was rising, and finally... a Kraken slowly rose from the mud.
Emmm, it’s the modified version of the giant squid.
The giant monster is the true descendant of Cthulhu. It is extremely ugly. The suction cup on its tentacle alone is as big as Lin's face, and its two blood-red eyes are full of anger.
The tentacles and suction cups of this thing looked somewhat familiar. Rin thought carefully, isn't it the main dish of the braised Cthulhu feast that he had when he first came to this world! ?
The real body looks so disgusting that I lost my appetite instantly.
It tied up the prehistoric giant crocodile with a few tentacles and flipped it over and beat it continuously. The dancing tentacles also affected the black palm, and then a one-armed zombie emerged from the swamp.
The prehistoric giant crocodiles were very united. They all gathered together to attack the Kraken. The three-way battle was very exciting.
Rin was stunned and scratched his head.
Although it wouldn't be that difficult for him to take action even if he couldn't fly, why would he take action when he could just sit back and watch the fight?
So Lin moved away and found a safe position to watch the show.
The first to die were the one-armed zombies with relatively low combat power, while the Kraken and the prehistoric giant crocodiles fought fiercely, and the world was filled with cards dropped by their corpses.
In the end, all the giant crocodiles were wiped out, and the Kraken was only barely alive. Lin thought about it, picked up a branch and threw it over, hitting it on the head, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
All members of the swamp group are game over.
The dead giant monster's body turned into a blue-gray fossil, and its tentacles just covered the entire swamp with a radius of one kilometer, using its own body to build a path.
Rin stepped on the petrified corpse and picked up the cards all over the floor.
"Holy Dragon Slayer Bullet +10, Note: Can only be equipped on fixed guns."
"Holy Dragon Slayer Bullet +10."
"Holy Dragon Slayer Bullet +10."
……
They were all golden items. Lin's face lit up with joy as she walked to the orange item card dropped by the Kraken.
"The only super pistol that is sacred and specializes in destroying the dragon Kuntukuta Katikotsuwasirason has been modified to version V1.04. The damage to dragons has increased by 999 times. Congratulations, brave Dara Bang... Bang... cough cough, congratulations to you, brave warrior, for successfully finding the dragon-slaying artifact!"
The card in his hand instantly turned into a small pistol that looked as ugly as an octopus. Lin opened the magazine with disgust and kept pulling it down. The magazine that was supposed to be only ten centimeters long was pulled out endlessly for more than one meter and there seemed to be no end.
...Are you old bosses so rich that you can use space props as games?
Forget it, forget it, it’s more convenient not to change the magazine.
Rin, who had a blank expression and looked nonchalant, had no idea how excited and loud the audience was, as the ultimate weapon of the game appeared, the roar was getting louder and louder.
Chapter 53: Recharge! Otherwise, how can you become stronger?
“Luck value UP! My loyal and fearless brave god… ahem, Darabonbabandebedibdobiruon, please quickly bring your dragon-slaying sword and save me…save the supreme artifact of Her Highness the Princess!”
Rin had played with guns at the shooting range with her elder sister before. She still remembered the first time she went to the world on campus, the only weapon in her hand was a gun. It felt familiar to touch it again this time.
I'm a little unfamiliar with the technique, but for someone with the highest luck value, they can hit the target even if they hold the gun upside down, so there is not much difference between being unfamiliar or skilled.
There were plenty of bullets, so Lin glanced at the snake on the dead tree next to the swamp, raised his hand and easily pressed the trigger. The bullet instantly flew out of the muzzle, not only blasting the flower snake and the entire tree into pieces, but also destroying several dead trees behind it at the same time, leaving a small hole on the ground.
This is not a pistol bullet, it's clearly a rocket launcher. Damn it.
If only I could take it out of this world.
This is not impossible. After all, the small world we are in now is not virtual, and the props are real.
"Oh, lucky hero, why don't you set off yet? Hurry up, I haven't had breakfast yet!"
Shao Luo's voice kept chattering in his ears. He was just a chatterbox. Lin Ben paused as he was about to put away his gun and said calmly, "I guess you, the Old Ones, did not have enough funds when you developed this world."
"Hey, don't say such weird things to the narrator. Do you think you are playing Ashe or Stanley Parable?! What the hell is insufficient funds?"
"How else can we find someone like you who is noisy and has poor language skills to be the narrator? I guess we don't need to pay you a dime and let you bring money into the group, right?"
“Waaaaaaaa! I’m going to kill you, you idiot. You’re dead! You’re dead! Do you know who I am?! Azathoth, don’t stop me! What competition? Eh… competition… Okay, I’m magnanimous and will let you survive the competition for now, you loser!”
Oh... this game is becoming more and more boring.
It starts with a 99-level artifact, the boss is killed in one hit, and even the narration is about a staff. It's just like some crappy games, the production is as bad as shit, but they put a skin on it and put it on Steam to make money, and the price is 16.
I bought a watch last year.
This crappy game ruined my youth, drained my spirit, and cost me money!
But... at least this narration can be teasing, which is a bit of a plus.
As for the threats she kept making...
Haha, you are so dastardly, do you really think you are Nyarlathotep?
Don't stop me, Azathoth. Have you played too much text cosplay or group role-playing?
Lin felt contempt in his heart, but he also knew that he had to try his best to continue the competition.
As we crossed the swamp, the outline of the forest became more and more obvious. The road was full of blood-red twisting thorns, which were densely packed and looked very aggressive.
Anyway, Lin had no shortage of bullets, so he fired his small pistol "bang bang bang". One bullet was enough to destroy a patch of thorns without any effort.
And these flesh-colored thorns are indeed monsters. After they were killed, they dropped a lot of cards.
There are bullets, potions, a one-minute acceleration buff, a health recovery buff, a flight buff, a burning buff, and so on.
After picking up about twenty cards, Lin casually put them in his pocket as a backup skill and continued on his way.
At the entrance of the forest, there is a large stone tablet with the words "Abyss Forest" inscribed on it.
There were also lightning-shaped crack-like lines painted on the stone tablet with a black brush.
Alas, most likely all the crew’s funds were used to pay the dragon’s death pension, and they couldn’t even afford to buy a stone tablet struck by lightning.
And at the top, there is a small black octopus lying on it. If you look closely, you can see a circle of tentacles next to its mouth. What kind of octopus is that? It is clearly a small Cthulhu body.
Seeing Lin, the tentacle monster waved its claws excitedly and shouted: "Brave man! Here, here!"
Lin curled his lips, turned around and was about to leave, but the tentacle monster suddenly jumped up from the stone tablet, jumped lightly and flexibly to the opposite side of Lin, and floated at the level of his line of sight.
"Congratulations, brave warrior. You have passed the novice area and are about to head to the intermediate forest. I am the guardian of this forest and your most loyal partner and guide. In order to provide you with better protection, you can choose to recharge with me to make yourself stronger!
I...ah!"
Before it could finish its words, Lin had already pulled the trigger of the pistol. The bullet, like a cannonball, pierced directly through the opponent's body. In a small circle of black smoke rising into the air, not even a corpse of the tentacle monster was left. Only a dark golden card flashed a strange light in front of Lin.
"Scrap, trying to trick me into paying again... But he is indeed a high-level NPC, the drop rate is still good."
Lin had long lost the innocence, kindness and purity he had in the past, and he acted ruthlessly, coldly and decisively. After shooting the Cthulhu soldiers in the head, he reached out to take the card without any surprise.
"Wow! I finally got my flight card!"
Lin happily took back the card, officially unleashed his flying skill, and took off from the ground.
After thinking about it, he jumped back to the ground from mid-air.
It would be too boring to fly directly to the castle. What if the audience thinks I am cheating too much and suspects me of cheating? Besides, the game setting is simple to begin with and it’s a rare opportunity to play it, so it would be better to explore if there are other fun things to do.
I don't know if the narrator turned his grief and anger into appetite and went to eat, such a big thing was not reported.
Of course, the gaming world is peaceful and quiet, but the competition field is in chaos. As a spectator, even if you are reading novels or playing games, you will prefer a more exciting plot.
So ever since Lin got the dragon-slaying artifact, most of the attention has been shifted to him. Now when they see him killing NPCs with his god-level skills and looking like he has the aura of a protagonist that goes against the sky, they are even more cheering.
Looking at the other contestants, they were not so lucky.
