Chapter 444 Entering the Lighthouse This Chapter Is a Bad Suggestion to Watch Pirates...
Chapter 444: Entering the Lighthouse (This chapter is terrible, I recommend watching The Thief...)
After listening to Su Ming's words, Weiwei analyzed:
"Your current situation is typical of developing feelings for an NPC, which is not a good thing.
This is probably your first time playing a virtual online game. "Destiny" has a relatively large investment in AI this time, so it is normal to have feelings. However, whether it is friendship or sympathy, it is best to leave as soon as possible and look at this as a traveler.
World, don’t fall into it.”
"Yes, what does it have to do with you whether Vidi is good or bad?" Ziteng also explained to Su Ming, "We players only need to get rewards."
"Is this okay? We are travelers..." Su Ming seemed to be asking Weiwei and the others, but also seemed to be asking himself.
He is a beast trainer, and he contracted a pet with high AI when he first entered the game. His game experience is somewhat different from Weiwei's. The pets he captured later also had a lot of communication with him, and they were indeed emotionally invested.
Xiao Hei felt that Su Ming seemed to be holding him tighter, so he twisted his body, adjusted to a comfortable position, and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.
After Xianmeng got acquainted with everyone, she became more talkative. She did not participate in enlightening Su Ming, but expressed her views on the game "Destiny":
"Having said that, although the scenes and NPCs in "Destiny" are more real than any previous virtual game, the gameplay is much less. It has been four or five months since the server was launched, and players have not yet touched the game.
It has the highest combat power, and even the main plot was figured out by the players themselves. It may be said that it is exquisitely made, but in fact, the gameplay is very rough, like a semi-finished product."
Weiwei nodded, agreeing with Xianmeng's statement:
"In the past, at times like this, large-scale camp wars usually started, and the official would also hold some competitions. "Destiny" did not design camps for players, and the official was the worst official I have ever seen. Many professional players began to protest.
Well, just by playing games, their advantages cannot be fully reflected."
"There are still advantages. Good technology and equipment can be obtained quickly, and you can stay ahead of ordinary players. Like NPCs like Vidi, other players have no chance to come into contact with them." Zui Mingyue said.
"That's true."
Ziteng noticed that Su Ming was still thinking, so she sent a private message to Su Ming:
"It's hard to protect everyone. Sometimes it's better to just let nature take its own course."
Su Ming turned to look at Zi Teng in surprise. Unexpectedly, what he was thinking in his mind was noticed by Zi Teng.
"Thanks."
Wisteria smiled back.
In a place with no other players, Su Ming and his teammates passed through the portal opened by Vidi and arrived at the dark island in one step.
It's raining lightly in the sky.
Vidi was holding a black umbrella. The moment he saw Su Ming, he felt that there was still a fragment of the Heart of the Ocean on Su Ming's body. He thought it was what Su Ming had brought to him, and his mood became happy.
Then, including the piece in the lighthouse, the fragments of the Heart of the Ocean scattered outside are all clear.
While Su Ming was carrying out other operations, Vidi discussed with Delevwe several times and had already borrowed the Heart of the Ocean fragment from Delevwe. When Su Ming gave him the fragment,
After taking the fragments from the lighthouse, he now has 7 fragments. Compared to Meimi, who only has 3 fragments, he has an absolute advantage in controlling the Poseidon Scepter.
We can completely resolve the issues left over a hundred years ago.
After his resurrection, he originally wanted to kill Meimi and rebuild the Kingdom of El. However, as he visited the great lords in the sea these days, and with the display of Anyi's magical power, this idea disappeared with the wind.
Dahai has already chosen a new master, so he doesn't have to point fingers. That's what Meimi does.
Vidi walked through the rain and walked up to Su Ming. With a smile on his face, he said softly:
"It's a blessing for you during this time. They are the helpers you found? They are all very powerful, but if you want to deal with the monsters in the lighthouse, you will still encounter danger. Because of the restrictions of the ancient magic circle, I cannot enter it.
I’m really troubling you.”
Vidi moved his palm slightly, half-twirled the umbrella, and sprinkled a piece of rainwater, which fell on Su Ming and the others, forming a thin protective film that the rainwater could not penetrate. Su Ming and the others obtained a powerful buff.
Vidi's Asylum: +20% maximum health, -20% damage taken, +30% resilience, no penalty after death. Lasts for 240 minutes.
"This is a little help from me. I hope you can be safe," Vidi said.
"Thanks."
Su Ming took out the Heart of the Ocean fragment from his backpack.
Vidi stepped forward, saying thanks, and wanted to take away the fragments, but Su Ming put the fragments back into his backpack.
Vidi was stunned for a moment and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Vidi..." Su Ming was a little hesitant in speaking. He blindly agreed before, but now he doesn't give it to others, as if he doesn't keep his promise. This makes him feel tormented, "What do you want to do after you collect the fragments of the Heart of the Ocean?"
Will it harm anyone?"
"Why is there such worry?" Vidi asked, retracting his outstretched hand.
"Because you are the devil." Su Ming said, "The devils are all bad people, aren't they?"
"Who told you, there are also very pure beings among the demon kings. Although they behave strangely and are moody, they can't be called bad people." Vidi saw Su Ming's tortured soul and put a hand on Su Ming's.
Ming, he looked at Su Ming's trembling eyes and asked: "This is not the real reason why you didn't give me the fragment. I know that you believe that I am a good person. You believed it when we first met.
.If you have other concerns, please tell me about them, okay?"
Su Ming pursed her lips tightly and finally calmed down her mood before she confided in her heart and said:
"Yes, I believe you are a good person, but you are always on the opposite side of adventurers. If I help you find all the Heart of the Ocean fragments and wait for you to get your power back, adventurers will definitely come to trouble you. I don't want that.
You are in danger."
After hearing this, Vidi laughed and said:
"Who told you that I have to collect the Heart of the Ocean fragments to regain my power? My power has already returned when I woke up. The Heart of the Ocean fragments are just to help repair the Poseidon Scepter, allowing me to fight with
Meimi has more advantages in the battle.
You are considered very strong among adventurers, right? But even if a hundred of you come, they can't beat me now. Why do you think adventurers will cause trouble to me?"
"We are growing very fast."
"It's very fast, but you don't have time anymore. Today, if you help me get the fragments, Meimi and I will decide the winner. The battle between the two of us is not something adventurers can participate in."
Weiwei, who was standing aside, listened to the conversation between the two and sent a message in the team channel:
"It turns out that the third demon king and the fourth demon king have to be solved through plot CG. That means there will be nothing left for the players, and the information collected by the guild will be completely useless."
Seeing that Su Ming still didn't speak, Vidi kept smiling and asked:
"Do you still have concerns? What are you thinking about?"
"It feels like I'm a little too skilled at playing the game. I don't know if this is a good thing..." Su Ming took out the fragment again and handed it to Vidi. He completed part of the task and gained some boundary-breaking skill points.
"Although I don't understand the specific meaning of your words, just do what you think in your heart." Vidi said.
"Well, thank you." Su Ming patted his face, letting the smile reappear on his face. He turned his eyes to the right and brought the topic back on track: "What happened to that lighthouse? The fragment of the heart of the ocean is in the lighthouse.
Where?"
To Su Ming's right, there is a lighthouse more than 10 meters high. There is a bright light on the top of the tower, scanning the dark sea. The lighthouse is very old, and the tower body is full of cracks. Weeds grow stubbornly out of it and are wet by rain.
Stick to the wall.
"The fragment is on the top of the lighthouse. This is a lighthouse built by you humans in ancient times. I have found this kind of lighthouse around the Kingdom of El, but only this one has been completely preserved and is still operating.
They are not like guiding ships, but like monitoring the Kingdom of El. In the past, they were hidden by magic circles, and it was not until recent years that their true appearance was revealed."
"Then he is?"
Su Ming pointed to a man in front of the lighthouse gate. The man had broad shoulders and a thick neck. He was wearing a raincoat and holding a shovel. He was sitting motionless.
"The first danger you are going to encounter is probably his job to guard the gate." Vidi said, "I have not been in contact with him and can't give you any more information, so be careful."
Su Ming nodded and led the team closer to the lighthouse.
The man guarding the door raised his head and stared at Su Ming and the others.
Hidden underground, the magic circle centered on the lighthouse was triggered, and a circle of white light swept across, without harming Su Ming and the others.
Vidi explained to Su Ming and others from a distance:
"This is the magic circle for checking race, I can't pass it."
"Okay, I understand." Su Ming said.
Su Ming continued to move forward and reached 5 meters in front of the man. The man stood up, raised the shovel, and said:
"You are not the successor, please leave."
"Huh? Not BOSS?" Weiwei asked, "What is a successor?"
"The person who takes over my job is the successor. If you want to enter, please ask the Black Emperor for authorization."
"Who is the Black Emperor?" Weiwei asked.
"You are not the successor, please leave."
The man began to repeat what he had said before.
Vidi watched all this from outside the magic circle and said:
"He seems to be dead, just a shell."
Weiwei put an "energy shield" on Su Ming and said:
"Let's get weird."
Su Ming shook his head and said:
"No, he can only distinguish objects with his eyes. We can go in by becoming invisible. Sister Ziteng, please try it first."
"Okay." Ziteng entered the stealth state and touched the lighthouse.
Weiwei asked Su Ming curiously:
"How do you know? Have you been beaten before?"
"I have been observing just now. When we move around, his head will turn with us." Su Ming explained briefly.
"I see. It's amazing that you can notice such details."
Zi Teng approached the man and successfully walked around. She opened the door, but the man didn't respond. After entering the door, she gave Su Ming and the others an OK gesture.
Su Ming and the others drank a potion with a stealth effect. Because their stealth level was not as high as that of Ziteng, they were more careful. With Ziteng guiding them from behind, they successfully bypassed the man and entered the lighthouse.
In order to prevent accidents, the door was closed after the entire team entered.
Vidi was a little surprised when he saw that Su Ming and the others had so easily bypassed this guy who seemed to be very troublesome. He suddenly understood what Su Ming had just said.
Don't you want to fight for no reason? It's normal if you think about it. How can there be a kind of creature that will fight non-stop like players?
In the early stages, Su Ming would stop and take a look at the city and the wild scenery, but after knowing that fighting would help him wake up, he devoted 20 hours every day to fighting non-stop.
Second Monster, looking for the BOSS, feels a little numb.
Su Ming himself is aware of this and is slowly adjusting. However, just like being in a bug in the mysterious sea, Su Ming's hallucinations - car accidents, white walls, hospitals, and the fear of never waking up accompany him.
, he is used to paying for others, and is used to absorbing any pressure by himself, so the problems are piling up...
Not long after Su Ming and the others entered the lighthouse, Vidi suddenly turned his head and stared at the sea in the distance. There was Meimi's aura there. Vidi felt strange and thought: Can't Meimi only be active in the Temple of Knowledge now? Why?
Ran to the sea?
Vidi's eyes wandered back and forth between the lighthouse and the place where Meimi's aura came from. Finally, he felt uneasy and decided to go investigate.
————
Temple of Knowledge.
Meimi opened her eyes and said to the five sword master players standing in front of her:
"I have lured Vidi away. You can set off. I hope you won't disappoint me like that great emperor."
The player named Black Hole King took a step forward and said with a smile:
"The Emperor can't compare to us. We are definitely the most powerful players in the game, and we will definitely bring the Heart of the Ocean fragment back to you."
"That's the best. As long as you bring back the Heart of the Ocean fragment, you will be rewarded."
Meimi waved her hand, opened a portal, and said:
"Go ahead."
The Black Hole King led four teammates into the portal.
————
Inside the lighthouse, there is a spiral staircase in the center, surrounded by bookshelves. Some books are still on the bookshelves, and some are scattered on the floor.
"It seems to be a library." Weiwei said.
"The books here are for reading, but they are not for decoration." Xian Meng picked up a book on the ground and flipped through it, reading the content above: "In the year 1223 of the Golden Era, the Black Emperor unified the Fate Continent..."
After reading for a while, Xianmeng lost interest in the book and said:
"Talking about the background of the game."
"Send the screenshot to the guild's research team. Also send a copy to the team channel." Su Ming said.
"Okay~"
Suddenly, a blast came from Zui Mingyue's side.
"What happened?" Su Ming turned around and looked over. On Zui Mingyue's side, there was a black eyeball. The eyeball was condensed into a white dot. Behind the black eyeball, there was a tentacle, which was suspended.
He was punched by Zui Mingyue, so the information was displayed:
One-eyed monitor (LV50, special elite): 149221/160000.
This chapter reflects some of the difficulties I encountered in my own writing. Uncharted Sea made me jump to the point where I can’t save myself. I’m sorry...
When the title comes back with the words "Please subscribe~", I will adjust it.
