As the alarm bell rang, the beggar showed a horrified look, struggled to get up from the ground, and ran towards the distance.
The originally weak body suddenly became as slippery as a loach!
"Run! The monster is coming!" he screamed as he ran.
The crying and howling around me became more and more intense.
"Is this guy really a beggar?" Wang Hao was shocked, but in order to get more information, he still stood boldly where he was.
The next second, several strange humanoid creatures sprang out from the black hole not far away. Their shells were a bit like alien shapes, gray-black in color, without tails, and with scarlet and ferocious mouthparts.
They move extremely fast, catching several running humans in one fell swoop and biting them crazily.
Screams and the thick smell of blood came from afar.
Wang Hao also reacted very quickly. The moment he saw the monster, he used his "bullet time" ability.
The movement speed of monsters seems to have slowed down. A legendary master with 5000 points of psychic strength can not only match legendary abilities, but also a large number of small abilities.
"That's it? It's okay to bully ordinary people."
Wang Hao punched and kicked these monsters, and knocked several of them over in a row. The monsters looked ferocious, and their weak point was their soft abdominal cavity. Even if they were attacked with fists, they would be paralyzed for a long time.
If divided according to strength, it is much weaker than the monsters in Taoyuan Village.
"If I had a rune blade, I could kill these things alone." He even had time to think: "Is it because I revealed the truth about the paradise, and it directly sent monsters to kill me? But why is it so weak?"
Fortunately, this time he wore the legendary superpower of "suspended death".
"If you don't fight, just pretend to be dead!"
A large number of monsters poured out of the cave entrance.
At the moment of being surrounded, the body began to turn to stone, and the soul escaped into a different space.
The world around me became blurry, as if I was nearsighted.
These alien monsters found that the humans in front of them had turned into "stones", immediately ignored the existence of the stones, and began to attack the surrounding humans.
This monster invasion probably resulted in the deaths of seven or eight people.
Wang Hao was in a state of suspended animation and was not affected in any way.
After another 30 seconds, a group of security guards wearing black clothes and loaded with ammunition hurried over.
The leader shouted: "Shoot! Kill them all, leave no one behind!"
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Densely dense bullets spurted out.
These highly penetrating bullets turned Wang Hao, who was in suspended animation, into a hornet's nest. His limbs, like stones, were hit everywhere.
Although the ability to fake death is good, it cannot withstand machine guns.
[Congratulations! The survival time is 9 minutes and 49 seconds. You did not die at the hands of monsters, but died from human accidental injuries. 】
[Cause: Died due to massive gunshots. 】
Wang Hao's face darkened and he was a little surprised.
Is this dead?
It was indeed dead and the screen went completely dark.
"What the hell?"
Wang Hao cursed in his heart, and suddenly felt the strong malice of the game manufacturer. The first reincarnation always died inexplicably.
And he couldn't tell whether he died because he exposed the "Paradise" trick, or whether he was accidentally killed by these security guards.
Or maybe these security guards are trying to kill some part of him?
"The appearance of the monster is a bit strange, and the security team is also a bit strange."
"It stands to reason that even if I am in a state of suspended animation, I am still in the shape of a human stone, right? Ordinary security guards wouldn't fire at me like crazy."
"Moreover, in the case of the weird attack, there were not a lot of [Danger, Danger] popping up on the screen. Could it be that the superpower has completely failed? Is it because the monster is too weak?"
Wang Hao covered his temples, feeling that this death was inexplicable and could not explain the reason.
He could only keep the information he got in his first reincarnation in mind, maybe it would come in handy later.
【Do you want to restart the game? Yes/No】
【yes.】
…
…
Points -100.
The next second, he was resurrected.
The prologue about the old monk did not appear again.
He came directly to the dark and damp cave.
"Okay, let's not let anyone experience the prologue."
"The last time a monster appeared was 6 minutes and 44 seconds after entering the cave. This time, I have to see if the wave of monsters will appear at the same time. Then I can tell whether [Wanxu] is deliberately killing me.
.”
Taking advantage of this time, he carefully looked at the people lying next to him.
One was an alcoholic, drunk. When he saw Wang Hao passing by, his trembling hands stretched to the sky. His weak and twisted face seemed to be begging: "Please, give me a bottle of wine! Please, even if it is miserable,
It’s good to have water!”
"I can't drink you to death."
Wang Hao rolled his eyes and walked straight past.
He remembered that in his last reincarnation, the drunkard had no time to escape and was eaten by a monster.
There was also a woman lying on the ground, looking haggard and lifeless.
When the woman saw Wang Hao, she seemed to raise an eyebrow.
Lao Wang hurriedly passed by. Even in the game, he did not want to provoke "Ai Ji Yi Zi".
"Looking at it this way, the old beggar we talked to in the first reincarnation is actually a relatively normal human being!"
Finally, at the gate leading to the paradise surface on the second floor, there is a sleeping fat man lying there. At first glance, it may weigh more than two hundred kilograms. It may be something he dreamed about in his dream. He pursed his lips and showed a happy smile.
Under the butt of the fat house, there is also a mysterious booklet - "Instructions for Entering the Garden"!
Wang Hao's heart moved, and he activated the "Flying Dragon Cloud Exploration Hand" to steal the booklet.
There is a faint light curtain at the exit. As soon as you approach the light curtain, a prompt pops up.
[The front is paradise, but you feel an invisible resistance hindering you, making it difficult to move forward.]
According to the beggar's description, you have to swipe your card with a "spar" on the machine next to it to enter the upper floor.
If you can't find the crystal, you have to either beg here or venture to the lower levels.
Wang Hao tried for a while, using his head and kicking his feet, but he couldn't break through the light curtain.
"I have the opportunity to control the 'dragon' to launch an attack. How about giving it a try?"
However, once the dragon attacks, the cost of the next load will soar to 1,000 points, which is a bit expensive.
After much deliberation, I decided to forget it.
Maybe, the game manufacturer has not produced the game content in "Paradise" at all, and no matter how hard the players try, it will be to no avail.
Opening the stolen pamphlet, there was a series of dense words written on it.
[Dear tourists, hello, welcome to 'Paradise', a mysterious area where dreams and hopes are intertwined. You may have heard of alien technology, or you may have heard of prehistoric rumors of interstellar immigration. Now we solemnly announce,
Interstellar immigration exists, and an extremely wealthy life is achievable!】
[We have received the great inheritance of prehistoric civilization and have extremely high productivity! All the staff of the paradise are dedicated to serving you. Our goal is to create a paradise on earth! 】
【But for your happy life, please also follow some small rules in the park.】
"Oh? The rules in the paradise?" Wang Hao's heart moved.
Rules, an effective means to combat [illusion]!
Of course, rules are discovered by human beings themselves, and their reliability may not be 100%.
But no matter what, there is some information.
[1. The park provides free food and dormitories. You can go to your own allocated residence (50 square meters per person, permanent residence) according to your identity number. The park provides free transportation and free clothes. The restaurant provides self-service
Food, open 24 hours.】
[Do not eat food offered by strangers, no matter how tempting it looks.]
In a person's life, the most important things he considers are clothing, food, shelter, and transportation.
Free food, dormitories, clothes, and transportation are indeed half a paradise.
[2. In the paradise, you have the right to work freely, use your imagination, and create your personal value. Of course, you don’t have to work. We can satisfy all your wishes, provided that you can work in the mine below.
I picked up a small crystal stone.]
[The specific value of crystals is detailed in Appendix 1. Please note that only you can "see" and "touch" your own crystals. Therefore, "spars" cannot be transferred or traded, and can only be exchanged for "spars".
desire".】
[When you have no desire, you can turn "spar" into the common currency here. The value of our currency is constant, 1 yuan is strictly equal to 1 catty of rice, and there is no inflation problem. 】
Wang Hao frowned slightly and continued reading.
[3. We admit that there are some risks in underground mines. The lower you go, the greater the risk and the greater the number of monsters. When the surrounding lights turn red, it means a crisis is occurring. You need to seek help from security as soon as possible. Our
The security guards are wearing black clothes, are tall, and are armed with firearms, so they are easy to identify. The types of monsters are detailed in Appendix 2. Please be sure to identify the security guards in black clothes as they are our personnel.】
[4. The current 2-7 floors of the mines all have safety zones. Within the red line, you are safe. Even if there are no security guards, you will not be harmed. The 8th floor is temporarily not open to the public. If you are not
Carefully enter the 8th floor, and you will find a radio in your hand. Please follow the instructions on the radio. Soon, you will be out of danger.]
[5. If you are determined to go down to the mine to pick up crystals, we appreciate your courage and determination. But please remember that after you leave the paradise, you will not be able to return to the paradise before harvesting the crystals. For those who cannot "see",
Tourists who "discovered" the crystal, you may be trapped at the exit of the second underground floor. We deeply regret that we will distribute food and water regularly to ensure your safety.】
[6. There are a total of 8 layers in the underground mine. The 8th layer is a high-risk area with a higher probability of obtaining crystals. If you don’t find any crystals on floors 1-7 and are afraid of entering the 8th layer, we still
Provide other means: We will issue pistols and bullets to you, pray and shoot any creature that is not a "human". Even if the bullets run out, don't show any timidity. They are not afraid of bullets, but they are afraid of your determination. Shoot.
After killing monsters, they may drop crystals.】
[7. There are very few people who are willing to work as security guards, so security guards are veterans hired from outside. Please do not look at the security guards or interact with them. They are responsible for protecting your life and safety. No matter when, you
You can trust them.]
[8 Since the warning lights in the mine are red, please do not wear red clothes and do not use mirrors to reflect the red light to avoid confusion and unnecessary danger. ]
[9. For most people, picking up crystals is a very easy task. According to our statistics, an average person can pick up 124 crystals. However, as the number of picks increases, the number of crystals picked up increases.
The lower the probability, as long as you control your desires, you will gain a perfect life here!】
There are only 9 rules in total, most of which are related to underground mines.
In other words, life in "paradise" will not involve too many risks.
Only going down the mines is dangerous.
"Could it be that the power of [Fantasy] cannot affect paradise, but only the mines?" Wang Hao pondered subconsciously, thinking carefully in his mind.
"So, what is the crystal stone? Is it the power of human beings who are using it for free?"
"Who set this scene?"
"The deceased Mr. Xiang Hao carried out this series of operations?"
Many associations appeared in Wang Hao's mind, but there were still too few clues.
Moreover, the story should not be as simple as imagined. What he is seeing now is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
At this moment, 6 minutes and 44 seconds arrived, and the light at the entrance of the cave in the distance suddenly turned red. A large number of people lying on the ground got up and ran towards the safe area.
Several people who did not run in time were caught on the spot by the monster and lost their lives.
The security team also arrived on time just like in the first round.
Only this time, Wang Hao was not accidentally killed by the security team.
After a "crackling" gun battle, the alien-like monster group was repulsed.
The crowd seemed to be very used to this. They lay down when they should and slept when they should. Most people didn't even pay attention to the few people who unfortunately died.
Death here seems to be a natural thing.
But Wang Hao was surprised. The appearance of the monster at 6 minutes and 44 seconds seemed to be an inevitable part of the plot and had nothing to do with him exposing the illusion of "Paradise".
"Could it be that my death in the first reincarnation was an accident?"
Turn to the next page of the booklet.
[Appendix 1, general equivalent prices.]
[White spar: 1,000,000 yuan]
[Blue crystal: 3,000,000 yuan]
[Green crystal...]
[Rice, 1 yuan per catty...]
This information is similar to the old beggar's description.
If you pick up the rarest "color crystal", you will get the supreme VIP service of "Paradise" and can realize all your wishes for a lifetime.
[Appendix 2, types of monsters under the mine.]
There are quite a lot of monsters, hundreds of species.
"The one I just met is called the Soul Eater. He likes to devour human souls. He lives in groups, but his combat power is not too strong."
"There are more powerful species below."
The next few pages are the topographic map of the park and the current exploration map of the mine. They are quite detailed and highlight the areas where monsters have appeared.
"The park covers an area of 803 square kilometers and has a population of 500,000. It is considered the size of a small city."
At the end of the booklet, there is a piece of waxy yellow paper with a few lines of crooked text written on it.
[…There are no children here, disorderly and extravagant entertainment is common here, but no children were born.]
【Women cannot give birth to new lives, they don’t need and don’t care.】
【I need to be more vigilant.】
[There is no mirror, even in the bathroom, you can't find a mirror, but the camera of your mobile phone can be used.]
[I made a mirror out of mercury and looked at myself, but nothing happened and there was no danger.]
After reading these words, Wang Hao woke up Fei Zhai, who was lying on the ground sleeping.
"Wake up, hey! Hey!"
The other party was sleepy-eyed. After discovering that his book had been stolen, he said with a vigilant look on his face: "This... this is my thing, why is it in your hands?"
"I picked it up from the ground. I just took a look at it and will return it to you later. Relax." Wang Hao asked, "Where did this note come from?"
"Of course it's a valuable thing."
The fat man immediately snatched the piece of paper and said with some pride: "I just came here not long ago, buddy."
"The note is the gossip in the mine. The note in our hand may be genuine, but I don't know who wrote it."
Not all people are addicted to material enjoyment. Human beings always have some curiosity and want to explore what "paradise" is.
Over the years, I have gained some experience.
"But the more people want to explore the truth, the easier it is...to find crystal stones. This is strange."
"If you can't pick up the crystal, you will die easily."
Therefore, the handwriting left by these past explorers has become like an antique.
In Paradise, a paradise with no shortage of economy, the explorer's notes have become collectibles and can be sold for a lot of money.
And the fat man in front of me is an avid collector of notes.
"Genuine? I think you wrote it yourself and then used tea to make it look old?" Wang Hao sneered and said with some disdain, "How about this, you show me the other content and I'll give you a can.
?”
Feizhai shook his head quickly. He wanted to exchange a few cans for information, but there was no way!
He raised his voice and said: "I collected this with great difficulty! How could it be fake?"
Wang Hao said: "If you don't knock down the two cans, I won't believe that other people don't have these notes."
"I just took a look, I don't want yours."
"make a deal!"
Feizhai took out a notebook from his backpack. The writing on it was crooked. It was obvious that he copied it by himself after seeing it somewhere.
"This is a transcript of an explorer's notes that is very famous here."
【...He is the wisest person I have ever met. His purpose of coming here is different from ours.】
[I asked him, what exactly is paradise? He avoided answering and might die if he explored the truth.]
[While pursuing me, he told me an interesting story.]
[The old lady of a certain family passed away unexpectedly. The old man worked until late at night before falling asleep. When he woke up the next day, he found that there was already a hot breakfast in the kitchen. It was his favorite egg-filled pancake. He quickly asked who made it.
breakfast, the children all shook their heads.]
[The old man squatted down suddenly, tears welling up in his eyes.]
[After asking, I learned that after getting married, the old lady got up early every day, made breakfast, and then went to the fields to farm. She has never stopped for so many years. 】
"What happened next?" Wang Hao asked, "Who was the person who wrote the note?"
"It was written by someone twenty or thirty years ago. As for the follow-up content..." The fat man made a "you know" expression, but the two cans of pork in his hands were empty and had been eaten.
Wang Hao immediately reached out and held his arm, using his muscles.
"Boy, I'm so greedy to give you some face, aren't you?"
My 300-point peak human physique cannot deal with the devil, nor can I deal with you.
After the fat man was caught, his face turned the color of pig's liver in pain, and he screamed repeatedly: "Ahhhhh! I'll just show you, let go and show you!"
On another diary, there are two lines of small words written
[The old man was looking for life and death and wanted to pursue the old lady. At this time, the village chief, who was well-informed, stood at the door and said faintly, "The one who cooks for you is not your old lady."]
"No more? What do you mean?" Wang Hao secretly rolled his eyes at the Riddler's statement.
After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't figure out a reason.
"No more." The fat man twisted his red and swollen wrist, "I don't know what this story wants to express... Maybe there is a ghost cooking for the old man? Haha."
"Or perhaps it is alluding to the wealthy life in the paradise, and there is a ghost who is providing us with wish fulfillment. Haha, isn't this truth a bit scary?"
