Chapter 120: The Light in the Stone Pillar

The first draft of the script for the game module "Port City" was provided by Gao Fei himself.

After the game was made, there were so many changes that even he, the original author, felt unfamiliar.

However, the overall style still implements his own creative concept.

For example, in standard "dungeon" levels such as "Bearbug Lair", when the adventurer reaches the last scene, a boss battle must be arranged.

After defeating the boss and then rescuing the hostages, it can be considered a successful completion.

From the day Goofy first came into contact with video games, or to be precise from the time "Super Mario" was played on the Famicom, this concept was deeply implanted in his mind.

From middle school to college, Gao Fei has always been fond of roguelike games.

Later, I wrote novels myself, including writing custom game scripts for Tiangong Design Department, which would emphasize roguelike elements. And at the end of the dungeon adventure, how could there be no exciting boss battle as the climax?

Something's wrong!

This is not my style!

Gao Fei couldn't think of any reason why the game designer would go against his original intention and cut off the boss battle in this chapter - even though he didn't even mention which boss was included in the original plan.

It doesn’t matter what kind of monsters you put in, but you can’t live without them!

Gao Fei opened the astrolabe and checked the automatically recorded battle report. Maybe he missed something.

After flipping through it, I found a suspicious text.

"Have a confrontation about 'passive awareness'."

"Confrontation failed!"

"You found nothing unusual in the execution hall."

Let me go to your uncle’s house!

I obviously noticed something abnormal, okay?!

Gao Fei couldn't help but complain.

His level 6 spell thief has a passive perception of 16.

When someone sneaks up behind him, or disguises himself in front of him, a relevant test will be made. If the test result is greater than his passive detection, no abnormality will be discovered.

The same goes for vice versa.

When Gao Fei sneaks behind the enemy and prepares to launch a sneak attack, he must also perform a "stealth" check to resist the enemy's passive detection. If the confrontation fails, the opponent will be alert and protected from the sneak attack.

Since it is "passive" detection, Gao Fei will not receive system prompts, similar to the DM secret dice in board game running groups.

If he hadn't gone back and looked through the battle reports, he wouldn't have known that such a confrontation had ever taken place.

In fact, reading the battle report is already a bit over the top.

Of course, it can also be considered that the player's vigilance goes beyond the game role they play, and is a manifestation of the additional bonus provided by "human flesh performance".

The question now is, why does the system test my passive awareness?

What on earth are you trying to hide from me?

What would we have discovered if we had won the confrontation just now?

Full of doubts, Gao Fei stood outside the hall door and carefully observed every corner and every furnishing in the hall, looking for anything suspicious.

Finally, Gao Fei's eyes fell on the stalactite pillar.

In the end, the most suspicious thing is the lantern that emits magical light!

Normally, when an infiltrator enters this hall, their attention will be attracted by the light emitted by the lantern on the stone pillar, ignoring the other dark caves on the stone pillar.

Doesn't the old saying "It's dark under the lamp" refer to the current situation?

There are seven holes cut into the stalactite pillars, but only one has a lantern inside.

The other six dark caves... your sister, shouldn't there be monsters like little devils hiding there?

Gu Zhu

That's right! The little devil is born with the "invisibility" skill!

The more Gao Fei thought about it, the more suspicious he became.

For the sake of safety, he decided to hit two shots first regardless of whether there were dates or not!

Gao Fei loaded the pistol with silent bullets, aimed at the center of the stone pillar, and pulled the trigger!

This is how he thought about it.

If there is an ambush hidden in the cave of the stone pillar, as I feared.

The impact caused by this shot hitting the stone pillar will definitely alarm the monsters hiding in the cave, and they will all poke their heads out to see what happened.

And when they see the intruder Gao Fei, they will definitely try to call the police as soon as possible.

At this time, the bullet embedded in the stone pillar can open a "silent barrier" with a radius of 20 feet, which can prevent them from sounding the alarm.

Next, Gao Fei will consider how to proceed based on the specific situation in the hall.

His actions and thoughts should be said to be reasonable and reasonable.

Some risks are true, but unpredictable risks have been avoided to the greatest extent.

However, what happened next surprised him.

In fact, Goofy basically guessed the hidden stakes set by the game designers correctly, but there were some minor deviations.

The seemingly deserted execution hall was indeed an ambush.

However, the ambush was not hiding in the cave on the stalactite pillar as Gao Fei expected.

In fact, the so-called "stalactite pillars" are disguised prison guards lurking in the dark!

Gao Fei's previous failed passive detection confrontation failed because he failed to see through its excellent disguise that was fake and real!

The stone pillar that was shot revealed its true face.

The originally smooth surface of the stone pillar cracked vertically, and a huge single eye slowly opened, flashing a ferocious red light.

Below the one eye, it split horizontally, revealing an organ that looked like a mouth, covered with dense fangs.

Except for the cave that holds the lantern, the other six caves on the monster's body are all spraying thick glue out of the body.

The colloid is flesh-red and stretches into flexible whiskers, with a moist and smooth surface. It waves wildly in the air, like an octopus claw squeezed out of the body.

When Gao Fei saw this scene, he was so frightened that he quickly shrank back.

The monster's tentacles continued to stretch, chasing behind his butt, winding like a snake.

Gao Fei has already exited the hall door.

He glanced back in a hurry and saw the organ-like tentacles still chasing him. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and ran up the stairs.

It wasn't until he turned the corner of the stairs that the tentacles stretched to the limit were forced to stop. They squirmed evilly for a while and then retracted unwillingly.

Worzine Immortal Banban Oh!

What kind of bullshit monster is this, full of Cthulhu style?!

Damn me!

Gao Fei took a deep breath to calm down his violently beating heart, calmed down, added another "invisibility spell" to himself, and tiptoed back along the stone stairs.

I took a peek and saw that the monster disguised as a stone pillar in the hall was crawling toward the stairs.

This guy moves very slowly, like a turtle crawling.

Visually, it can move up to 10 feet per round.

This made Gao Fei feel a little relieved.

He is much faster than the monster. Even if he cannot defeat the opponent, at least it is not difficult to escape.
