Chapter 2 Knotting the rope
When driving down the highway, a truck loaded with goods rushed past the Mercedes-Benz, making Li Kai tremble with fear.
"When I get back, I'll get an Akinayama racing god Dangdang. Even if I don't do drifting, I'll at least improve my driving skills."
Ignoring giving the truck driver the middle finger, Li Kai drove off the highway and continued toward the rows of city centers.
The plot in the world of "Metaverse", that is, the copy in the player's mouth, all have unique properties. Once the main mission is triggered by the player and participated in, it will be separated from the main world and form a closed copy.
Before the dungeon is closed, there will be a period of time for players who triggered the main line of the dungeon to call their friends. Under normal circumstances, one player can bring five players, and special adjustments will be made under special circumstances.
At the same time, once the dungeon is about to be closed, players who originally came into contact with the dungeon characters in the main world but did not trigger the main quest will also have the opportunity to enter the dungeon. They can enter or refuse, but they do not have the permission to bring people, and they want to return.
There is a threshold.
This time, Li Kai was able to go from the dungeon of "Initial D" to Tokyo in another dungeon because he was invited by the player who triggered the main plot. Otherwise, he could only enter the next dungeon after exiting the "Initial D" dungeon. This is still
In the case where he opened the copy of "Initial D" independently, and once he exited, the tokens used to open the copy will lose their effect, which is equivalent to wasting all the initial investment.
Therefore, although he has now left the "Initial D" copy, from the perspective of the passage of time, he is actually working on two copies at the same time.
The main world mentioned above is the surface world where players log in after entering the "Metaverse". In the surface world, everything seems ordinary but is actually unusual, because the NPC that triggered the copy lives in this world.
Just like the plot characters of "Love Apartment" and "Ode to Joy", if no one cares, the confrontation between Qu Xiaoxiao and Lu Ziqiao, a scumbag and a scumbag, may happen. But as long as the player intervenes, the one who is triggered will inevitably
Being separated from the main world, if another player pushes the dungeon's strategy level to 99%, then everything in this dungeon will be completely lost in the main world. This is the so-called uniqueness of the dungeon.
What was mentioned above is Li Kai’s personal experience. At that time, he went to a nightclub thinking that it would be best to meet Mr. Zhao who was rushing to pay for the bill. Instead, he met Lu Xiaobu, who was having fun there and was known as Xiaobu when he was walking around the world.
Lu Xiaobu.
It was precisely because of meeting Lu Ziqiao that he got a chance...
It was also an unbearable past, but its nature was different from that of "Sewing Machine Band". In fact, he liked Tathagata Palm better, but it was a pity that they were not next to each other...
It is worth mentioning that although the arrangement of NPCs in the main world in "Metaverse" is divided into countries, it is only for the scene and not specific for the region and location. That is, if you want to use the place names and other information mentioned in the plot, in
The probability of finding a plot character that can be triggered in the main world is only 0.0001%.
Of course, it will be different after entering the dungeon. That is where the memory in Li Kai's brain comes into play.
So in the nightclub, you may meet Mr. Zhao who pays all the bills, or you may meet Lu Xiaobu who is wandering around the world.
For another example, on a road with any name, you may meet Lao Zhao who is rolling tires home, but you may also meet San'er who is riding a motorcycle and will give you a few peanuts by raising his hand.
Of course, the greater probability is that you will encounter nothing. After all, the copy cannot be triggered casually.
Driving into the bustling area of Tokyo, Li Kai came to an apartment building as agreed. After finding a parking space and parking, he did not get out of the car in a hurry and took out his mobile phone to send a message to a contact named Yamada Hanata.
Ding!
The reply came soon after. Li Kai got out of the car and followed the address in the message, walked up to the third floor of the apartment building, and knocked on the door of room 304.
The door opened, revealing a young and delicate face.
"Mr. Natsume?" the handsome young man asked tentatively.
"Yamada-kun." Li Kai pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses with a smile and a gentle temperament.
Before time travel, he was a Chinese teacher. Even though he looked ordinary, he still became the top ten favorite teachers among students. Now that he has changed his skin, and with the blessing of hardware conditions, his affinity is almost perfect.
It was precisely because of this that he was full of resentment towards that ambiguous title, which was actually an ambiguity. He thought that if he had the chance to bump into that fat face again in the future, he would just punch him in the face without saying anything else.
After all, whether it is useful or not is another matter, but if people find out that he still relies on this kind of thing to solve personal problems, it is a shame for him.
"Great, Mr. Natsume, please come in."
A delighted smile appeared on Yamada Hanata's face, and she turned sideways to let Li Kai in.
When he stepped aside, Li Kai had already seen several people in the room.
There are three men and one woman, all of whom look like teenagers. Adding him now, it happens to be the maximum number of friends who can join a team to play the dungeon after triggering the main storyline.
"Are you the Natsume Yamada was talking about?"
The most lively of the three boys came up immediately.
"If there is no one named Natsume here, then he is here." Li Kai smiled and nodded.
"Polite, polite!" the short, round-faced boy said deliberately. In fact, in Li Kai's opinion, he was the most rude one.
"You two are very rude by yelling."
The short-haired girl with mediocre appearance but a sense of heroism stepped forward and glared at the two of them, then raised her hands to twist her hair, blinked and whispered to Li Kai: "Mr. Natsume, they are so rude. Please forgive me. I am Yumi Matsumoto.
."
Here they introduced themselves, while the two teenagers over there murmured, and faintly exclaimed: "Oh! Ryosuke, is there something wrong with my ears? That Yumi guy can actually make such a gentle voice?!"
The long-sounding words were heard. Matsumoto Yumi's face froze slightly. After changing her face several times, she finally burst into a sweet smile. Her neck was stiff and she turned her head one by one. She tilted her head towards the two of them and said softly: "Kimura, Arino
, wasn’t I gentle before?”
The soft words were like a gust of cool wind to the two teenagers, whooshing by. They both shuddered and instantly shrank behind the tallest boy, shivering.
"Mr. Natsume, he is a newcomer to Fugu, so please don't be surprised if he is a little shy."
Yumi Matsumoto introduced, "The short one is Ryosuke Kimura, and the lively one is Arino Ryohei."
"Does everyone know each other?"
Yamada Hanata came over at this time and said: "Then let's talk about this mission."
Finally getting to the point, several people, including Li Kai, fell silent and listened intently.
Yamada Kata opened his personal panel, passed on the main task to the three people, and got down to the topic.
"I accidentally obtained the dungeon token while on the train, but the crowd was crowded at the time, and I didn't see the NPCs related to the main plot of the dungeon, so I don't know much about this mission."
Yamada Hanata said, taking out a knot made of multi-colored silk threads and showing it to everyone, "This is the knot. I think if we want to complete the task, we must first find the owner of the knot."
There is a token required to open the dungeon, and there is no single way to obtain the token. In most cases, it is usually obtained by meeting certain conditions or agreements during contact with the characters in the main plot, such as Yamada Hanata, a very special person.
rare.
Matsumoto Yumi stared in surprise and said: "Huh? Knot rope?"
"Yes, Yumi's house seems to have a shop selling knotted rope art." Ryohei Arino suddenly said.
"Don't worry about it, Hanata, show me what's so special about this thing." Kimura Ryosuke stepped forward and stretched out his hand.
"It is said that the props that trigger the main plot usually have special effects. Kimura has identification skills. If you know what is special about this knotted rope, it may be helpful to complete the main plot mission." Dikou Xin's voice was slightly lower, which seemed a little bit...
Interjected sheepishly.
"Identification technique?" Li Kai looked at the short boy in surprise.
In fact, when he first communicated with Hanada Yamada on the real-world network, he roughly guessed the plot of this dungeon. Now that he saw the knotted rope and the main line of the mission, his guess at the time was completely confirmed.
So compared to seeing the main line of the mission, namely: "The Mystery of the Godly Body", what surprised him even more was that Kimura Ryosuke actually had the identification technique.
For players who regard the plot as a dungeon, the identification technique is an important way for them to understand the situation of the dungeon. Although its effect cannot be like him, he can know a lot of information through the memory in his mind, but at least he will no longer be clueless.
.
This has also made players with the Appraisal Skill the target of many large teams, so when he learned that Ryosuke Kimura was actually a player with the Appraisal Skill, his surprise was not false.
Chapter completed!
