"The last dungeon was Secrets of a Mountain Village. It was in a mountain forest and you had to find the designated mountain village by yourself. It took me three days of survival in the wilderness before I found that village and joined other players."
"After completing the secret mission in the village, I thought it would end directly, but the moment the mission was completed, there was a sudden earthquake. We couldn't escape and everyone was buried. When we woke up, only three people including me were alive, and the village was completely destroyed.
Bury it so that no one else can even see the body."
"But logically speaking, a group of us are together, but we don't know what happened. A few of us were rescued, but others were not. When I asked the system, I couldn't tell you anything."
Pei Xiao calmly recounted his experience in the last dungeon. Shi Ying raised his eyebrows secretly when he heard the three people. It was clear that four people were alive at that time. Did the other person wake up first and leave or be taken away by others?
Pei Xiao thought there were only three people alive.
"Survival in the wilderness, secrets of mountain villages, earthquakes..." Shi Ying imagined the process of this dungeon, and it was indeed worthy of the word "hard". As for surviving in the wilderness for three days, it might be three days for Pei Xiao, but for him
If you go in, you may not find the mission village for a week, and then you may end your dungeon journey and your young life because you have run out of ammunition or accidentally ingested poison.
"Your system is really cruel to you." Shi Ying shook his head and commented, with a look of disapproval written all over his face.
Pei Xiao didn't think so: "If what the system said at the beginning was true, then without the system I would have died of a heart attack, and I wouldn't be telling you this in the dungeon now."
Shi Ying thought about it, but after experiencing so many copies, she had a new understanding of death compared to before. She turned her head and looked at Pei Xiao seriously: "Are you afraid of death?"
Pei Xiao was slightly startled, as if he didn't expect that she would ask this. He thought for a while and answered equally seriously: "There is nothing to be afraid of in death, but I don't want to die yet, nor do I want to accept death."
"If I had died directly and no system had appeared to tell me that I had to go through a dungeon to extend my life, I might have passively accepted it."
"But the system appeared, and it gave me another option. It made me feel that I could still struggle and fight again. Although the final destination will not change, the process will be longer."
"If I extend it by one day, I can live one more day, and if I extend it by one month, I can handle two more cases. Although you are gambling with your life in the dungeon, as long as you survive once, you will not lose money, and you will make money in the following days.
I think this is quite a bargain, what do you think?"
Shi Ying put herself into Pei Xiao's position and thought about it. If she had not experienced the first flashback at that time, but had encountered something claiming to be the system after being wiped by a middle-aged woman on the subway, she would have chosen to accept the challenge.
Not direct death.
At that time, she had basically no understanding of life and death, and would only instinctively choose life. However, after experiencing so many dungeons, if she was given such a system now, she might choose to refuse.
To put it more seriously, after being exposed to evil, you know that the world has its own order. The existence of the system must be a virus plug-in that is not allowed. Being selected by the system is equivalent to working for the system and earning your own life points. In this way, there is cause and effect.
During settlement, there is a high probability that you will be implicated by this so-called system, and the gains outweigh the losses.
For Shi Ying herself, her life is ordinary and she has no unfinished worries. If she dies, she will die. It is the last word to reincarnate as soon as possible. There is no need to work hard, especially in this virus-like system.
Try your best to earn some measly life points.
She can completely understand Pei Xiao's current thoughts. At least from her perspective, Pei Xiao's life is much more valuable than her own. He can solve crimes and eliminate harm for the people, but she is just one of the people at most.
"You're right." Shi Ying thought a lot, but only came out with four dry words, and the content was a bit perfunctory.
Pei Xiao was keenly aware that Shi Ying's mood was not right, but she did not take the initiative to speak, and it was difficult for Pei Xiao to ask directly.
The two were silent for a while, and then Shi Ying said to chase them away: "Officer Pei, go to bed early. We still have a day of travel tomorrow, so you need to be energetic."
Pei Xiao stood up: "Okay, you should go to bed early. If Liu Liang comes over tonight, I will take him to find your friends."
Shi Ying sent him to the door and stopped talking. Pei Xiao turned to look at Shi Ying, who was obviously in a low mood, sighed imperceptibly, said "see you tomorrow", and walked towards the stairwell.
After Pei Xiao left, Shi Ying went back to his room and lay on the bed and thought for a long time. His dungeon role was basically not dangerous. In each dungeon, he played another NPC named Shi Ying, working and living in it.
The service objects she contacts may be players, or they may be ordinary people. Before meeting Pei Xiao, she never thought that the service objects she contacts will be players in the past real time. But looking back now, the first few copies are
It's a bit like the system world.
The first copy of the exhibition hall finally asked her to choose between an ebony hairpin and a gold and white jade ring. Although she chose the ring, she should not be wrong in choosing the ebony hairpin. Relationships cannot be completely separated.
Look, the difference should only be the amount of reward.
The gold and white jade ring gave her two umbrella pendants. If she chose the ebony hairpin, would she only be given one? She had no way of knowing this, but this was obviously a novice single-player dungeon, just to familiarize players with the dungeon format and reward rules.
In the second copy of the family planning department of the hospital, she became an inconspicuous nurse, mainly providing spiritual guidance to the light groups and persuading them to reincarnate. Where is the player here? Could it be the pregnant woman on the operating table, or maybe
Are they patients from other departments in the hospital?
Maybe in other parts of the hospital, out of reach of Shi Ying, the players were working hard on dungeon tasks and were exhausted. At that time, Shi Ying might be persuading the Light Group to reincarnate, or he might be in the emergency room listening to Jiang Zhi's story.
The third one is a copy of the amusement park. Shi Ying, as an intern in the engineering department, circulates in three projects. When she controls the control panel, are the players experiencing the rides she controls, such as thrilling roller coasters?
, another example is a haunted house where it’s hard to tell whether it’s real or fake.
If they enter the amusement park as a player, Shi Ying believes that what they experience is by no means as simple as what Shi Ying sees. It may be close contact with the animals and plants under Xiaoyu's control, it may be an enhanced version of the haunted house controlled by Fatty, or it may be Ji Ansi
A high-end roller coaster ride under operation.
It wasn't until the fourth dungeon that she actually met acquaintances in the real world, got to know the players as a group, and learned about the existence of the system.
Then there were a bunch of player corpses, and then a large group of living players. Shi Ying felt that his copy was getting closer and closer to this system.
