Ten players gathered in a slightly small single room. "Xiao Liang" holding a notepad cleared his throat, and the discussion in the room suddenly became quiet.
"Next, let me summarize the recent mission progress."
“The world theme assigned to us by the system is ‘Cthulhu: Biohazard Apocalypse’. As the name suggests, this is a biohazard story that mixes elements of the Cthulhu mythology.”
"The original work of "Apocalypse" is a spin-off work released by Ka Biao in 2012. It tells the story of BSAA receiving a distress signal from "Chris", so it sent "Jill" and "Parker" to the location where the signal was sent——
A luxury cruise ship on the Atlantic Ocean went to the rescue, but after boarding the ship, it was discovered that all the crew members had been infected by a new species of "abyss virus", and they were forced to fight monsters while smashing the conspiracy of the mastermind behind the scenes."
"The luxury cruise ship in the original work is the "Queen Zenobia", but the name of the cruise ship is the "Magic Paradise". Obviously we are facing a mission that has been seriously modified by the system - now here I am
There is bad news and good news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Hear the good news first." "Big Bangzi" who looked like a young boy showed a seemingly innocent smile.
"Okay, let's break the bad news first as usual." "Xiao Liang" will not let this fake shota's counter-routine ruin the rhythm of his story, and will continue to talk to himself as if he didn't hear anything."
The bad news is that among the female tourists on the ship, there is no suspected FBC agent "Rachel" in the original book. This means that there are probably no protagonists like "Chris" and "Jill" in this world, and we can't rely on the plot.
The power of the protagonist.”
"Forget it, even if there is one, I wouldn't dare to use it. Forget about "Gill". "Chris" is famous for being able to overcome the physique of his teammates. No male team member with him will survive."
Well, this time "Big Stick" hit the mark with his complaints, and everyone rarely nodded in agreement.
The fate of some NPC characters is really mysterious. Countless players have already proved through painful lessons that there is indeed such a thing as luck in the fantasy world.
"What about the good news?" A young man who looked like a college student in the six-person cup group couldn't help but ask.
"The good news is that I struck up a conversation with a ship's security guard at the bar, and pretended to be curious and touched his gun... Big stick, shut up! It's a serious gun!"
"Big Bangzi" curled his lips angrily. He finally found a weakness but couldn't spit it out. A woman's intuition is really terrible.
"What happened to the gun?"
The young man who looked like a college student asked again, finally picking up the topic.
"Although it is just an ordinary mass-produced [Walter PPK pistol], its quality is actually B-white - you should know what this means, right?"
Everyone was surprised when they heard this.
Those who can reach the third level are definitely not novice players. They are already familiar with the equipment quality and the level of the fantasy world. For B level, only the fifth level fantasy world can have equipment quality.
A middle-aged man whose hairline was about to reach the Baihui point held his head in despair, and said with a trembling voice: "Is this punishment mission a bit too much? We are only at level three, and they actually threw us into a level five.
level world?”
"Everyone, listen to me." "Old Smoker" put down the cigar that he seemed to never finish smoking, and coughed heavily to temporarily interrupt everyone's panic, "The punishment mission is to risk death and survive. At this time
There is no point in complaining that the difficulty given by the system is too high... Besides, I think this is also an opportunity. As long as we can survive this mission, the B-level weapons collected will be enough to make up for our previous losses. You know,
There are not many B-level weapons for sale on the market now, and even a B-level blue weapon can be sold for a price close to that of a D-gold weapon."
"But the problem is, the highest quality of our equipment now is only D blue. Once the biological crisis starts, we are two levels behind the monsters. How are we going to fight?" A middle-aged man with a high hairline shouted hysterically.
"Do you think the missions the system threw to us in the "Resident Evil" series were chosen at random? If it wanted to kill us and throw us into a world of unsolvable supernatural horror movies, we would all be wiped out!"
"Old Smoker" still maintained his unhurried speaking speed, staring at the middle-aged man with the high hairline with a calm and cold gaze, and his high-pitched voice gradually turned into a croak.
"To survive in the fantasy world, the best weapon is your brain, followed by the guns and knives in your hands... Think back to the first time you entered the fantasy world, you had nothing, your hands were empty, and you were wearing nothing.
Occupational diseases and basic diseases, could it be that you all got to where you are today by being reckless?"
"Now that you have entered the punishment mission, don't blame others, correct your mentality, just treat yourself as a rookie who has just been pulled into the fantasy world, and use your brains! I don't believe that ten of us experienced senior players can't beat one
The ship is a biological monster that acts on instinct!"
"Well said, the old smoker!"
Just as the little boy-looking "Big Bangzi" was about to take the lead in applauding, the door of the cabin rang a sweet bell at an inappropriate time.
"Who ordered room service?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads in denial.
"I gonna go see."
"Xiao Liang" volunteered and ran to the door. When he opened the door, he saw an unfamiliar young man outside.
Not handsome, but not annoying either.
If you couldn't ignore the smell of banknotes all over your body, you would have looked like an ordinary person.
Before "Xiao Liang" asked, Luo Jie took the lead and spoke with a smile.
"Everyone, do you mind if I come in and sit down? I'm a little curious about what your mission is."
All the players in the room were startled, and reflexively raised their guns. Several red dots from the laser sight swayed slightly on Luo Jie's forehead.
"Put down the gun, it's peace mode now...Besides, do you want to recruit the security guards on the ship?"
The scolding of "Old Smoker" woke up everyone with nervous faces. All kinds of firearms were taken back to the storage space one after another, but the vigilance and suspicion in the eyes of the players in the room never dissipated.
"Friend, please come in."
"Thank you."
Luo Jie stepped into the room, pulled up a chair and sat across from the "old smoker" as if there was no one else around.
He could see that this strong man with a military temperament had already become the leader of this small temporary team.
"Introduce yourself—Night Demon, a fifth-level player."
As soon as Luo Jie said these words, there were gasps of air in the room.
They had always thought that level 4 was the first level among the current players, but they did not expect to meet a level 5 player here.
"Don't be nervous, I am actually very weak at level 5. This is the second fantasy world I have experienced after reaching level 5."
Luo Jie was not lying at all. He only reached the fifth level in the previous "Dicuo" world.
"Old Smoker" and others' expressions softened slightly, which was in line with their understanding of the upgrade speed of first-tier players.
"Old smoker, a third-level player... If you didn't fail the main mission in the last world, you should be ready to attack the fourth level now."
Luo Jie nodded slightly. The last world the other party mentioned should not be "Earth Wrong". The time flow rate in the illusion world and the safe space are different. It is very common for players to experience different numbers of illusions.
"You should know that there is no conflict of mission goals between us. I am just here to exchange information with you to avoid the actions of both parties from inadvertently having a bad impact on the other party."
"Old Smoker" and others quickly exchanged glances and agreed with Luo Jie's words.
"To show sincerity, let me tell you my own information first - the theme of my world is "Kiss of Contract", and I am currently performing a side mission to sneak into the "Magic Paradise" to rescue the Star Church trapped here.
The Demon-Containing Saint "Sharon Holly Greer"."
Luo Jie deliberately did not say the prefix "mortal"
"Oh? So it turns out that the main world is "Kiss of Contract"? No wonder there is a mythical prefix like "Cthulhu"..."
"Xiao Liang", who looks like an innocent college girl, pinched her chin with a look of confusion on her face.
"The theme of our world is "Biological Apocalypse", but it seems that it has nothing to do with the original work of the same name. It just borrows its plot structure, and the mission goal is to survive for a month."
Just survive for a month?
Luo Jie narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that there seemed to be something fishy here.
It's not that he suspects that these players are cheating him, but he feels that the system is secretly digging holes again.
If there are no restrictions on the scope of activities, does grabbing a lifeboat and floating at sea for a month count as completing the mission? Or, does it count as hijacking the entire ship immediately and asking to return, and then staying in a detention center for a month?
Of course, with the security intensity of this ship and the current strength level of these ten players, it is basically impossible to achieve the above two operations, but the system will never leave such obvious loopholes for people to exploit, unless doing so will cause more
Horrible subsequent changes.
For example, typhoons and tsunamis, Russian-style rescue, etc.
"It's a pity that so far, we still don't know where the source of this biological crisis will start, and we can't make any preparations in advance." "Xiao Liang" suddenly thought of something and said nervously: "Mr. Night Demon, you
You’re not going to prevent this crisis from happening, are you?”
"How is that possible?" Luo Jie smiled and spread his hands, "For my rescue plan, the messier the ship is, the better."
The "old smoker" put the cigar in his mouth again, stood up and walked towards Luo Jie, solemnly extending his hand.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Night Devil. I wish you success in your mission."
"Well, I also wish you success in your mission."
The two hands separated as soon as they touched each other. Luo Jie waved his hands politely to everyone, turned around and walked out of the room. The sound of footsteps gradually faded away in the corridor.
"Captain, you just let him go? Why don't you talk to him about the conditions and let him take us for a ride? He is a fifth-level player, so our mission should be easy for him, right?"
"Xiao Liang" looked at the "Smoking Gun" who kept puffing away in confusion. In her opinion, this was the only chance to ensure that everyone could successfully pass the level.
"Do you think he is here to show his kindness to us? Don't be stupid, this young man is reminding us not to affect his mission. As for our life and death, he doesn't care."
"Old Smoker" patted "Xiao Liang" on the shoulder comfortingly.
"The relationship between players is like this. If the positions of both parties are reversed, I will not bring a group of strangers who don't know the details for nothing... In fact, if you think about it on the bright side, with such a high-level player on the ship, his actions can
It helped us contain many monsters, which also relieved our pressure in disguise."
