Chapter 5 This NPC doesn't follow the script at all
Back to the original place.
The time and space in the illusion has entered a solid state again. Only after Zhao Haiping selects card skills again will everything start to work again.
Zhao Haiping touched his neck in shock.
"It scared me to death. For a moment I thought I was really dead...
"It still hurts, a bit like being cut by Leng Buding. The pain should be lowered deliberately, right? It feels like the current pain should be 20% or 30%?"
"Fortunately, if I feel 100% pain, I will definitely not be able to bear it, but now I can barely adapt to it.
"This game is really hardcore!
“Not only was there no hint at all, but the difficulty was already maxed out as soon as it started. The emperor killed me before I could say anything!
"And what I never expected is that there is a misdirection option among the three talent skills? This 'aggressive' looks pretty good, but in fact, isn't it just a scam?
"This author has a really bad conscience! It seems like he is another 'old thieves' game author who likes to abuse players."
Zhao Haiping's mood gradually calmed down.
When he arrived at the main hall, his whole spirit had reached the most tense state, but after dying once, he relaxed a lot.
Especially after seeing that there is no punishment at all after death and that you can come back infinitely, a certain characteristic of the player is activated.
As long as you can come back again, even God will kill you!
As a loyal player of action games, Zhao Haiping usually enjoys playing video games. In order to create a perfect process for killing the boss, he does it dozens, let alone hundreds of times.
As for the number of times I died in those games, they are countless.
Although this game is very real, it is still a game after all. As long as it is a game, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Zhao Haiping looked at the three skill cards again.
[Gui: Calm and composed (white): Your emotions are calm and you can deal with danger more calmly. 】
[Gui·Swordsmanship Mastery (Blue): Your swordsmanship level will be improved accordingly.]
[Ren·Aggressive (white): You will exude an oppressive aura, making it easier for enemies to fear you. 】
"Eh? Isn't this completely unchanged?
"We should get three new skills, right?"
Zhao Haiping looked carefully and found a line of small text below: "Every time you die, one of the talents will no longer appear temporarily. You can replace it with a new talent by sliding on the card.
"
Zhao Haiping suddenly realized: "Oh, that's it.
"Every time you die, you can eliminate a wrong answer. If you continue to refresh in this way, you can always refresh more suitable talents and skills."
Thinking of this, Zhao Haiping slid on the "aggressive" card, and the card was immediately flipped over and replaced with a new skill.
[Gui·eloquent (white): Your thinking is quick and your answers are fluent, making it easier to win the trust of the other party. 】
Zhao Haiping almost suffered from high blood pressure. It was a bit difficult for people to exchange a Ren-level white skill for a Gui-level white skill.
However, everyone has experienced the classic non-chief moment of blue sky and white clouds. Zhao Haiping did not blame others too much, but began to analyze it again.
"Last time, I was obviously fooled by the 'aggressive' talent. The result of my domineering appearance was that I was already alerted by Emperor Yan Ling as soon as I entered the palace. The positive effects of this bad talent were not exerted at all, but the negative effects were fully exerted.
.
"Then now these three talents, calmness and eloquence, one helps me stabilize my mentality and the other helps me improve my performance in questioning in the main hall. They all seem to be helpful in clearing the level.
"But... if you want to succeed in the assassination, you still have to rely on swordsmanship in the end.
"After all, I remember that in real history, Nie Rang's successful assassination was quite extreme..."
This is where the benefits of knowing a little bit of history come into play.
Although Zhao Haiping did not know the details of Nie Rang's assassination of Emperor Yan Ling, the general process was still clear.
Before the audience, the soldiers had to search themselves several times. It was absolutely impossible to hide weapons on their bodies.
Therefore, Nie Rang came in the name of "sending auspiciousness".
The so-called auspiciousness was a large piece of black jade that Nie Rang got by chance. He asked a close friend of his who was also a skilled craftsman to carve it into a black jade unicorn and hid a sword in it.
Of course, although it is said to be a sword, it is actually shorter than an ordinary dagger.
Emperor Yan Ling was very superstitious because he was very happy about his achievements. He heard that he was very happy and auspicious, so he allowed Nie Rang to go to the palace to offer treasures.
After going to the palace, Nie Rang was still far away from Emperor Yan Ling, so he pretended that the piece of black jade had a small flaw that was difficult to detect, and he wanted to point it out to Emperor Yan Ling himself.
After successfully approaching Yan Ling Emperor, Nie Rang suddenly took out the sword from the black jade unicorn and assassinated him. However, Yan Ling Emperor was not a loser. He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his close combat ability was not inferior to that of ordinary generals.
So the first blow was not successful.
There was a chaos in the palace, and the ministers and red-robed armored men quickly stepped forward to protect them. Nie Rang was worthy of being the number one swordsman at that time. He rushed from left to right and killed several people. Finally, he saw the critical moment and threw the sword out, sealing his throat with one sword.
So Zhao Haiping thought for a while, if he wanted to perfectly reproduce Nie Rang's script, then mastering swordsmanship would definitely be a must.
Even Nie Rang, a fierce swordsman, was just one step away from failure. How could a weakling like him without skills have the confidence to succeed in an assassination attempt?
Thinking of this, Zhao Haiping made up his mind and tapped on the blue card of "Sword Mastery".
The feeling this time is obviously different from "aggressive".
Zhao Haiping felt as if a mysterious power was flowing into him, giving him inexplicably a lot of muscle memory. How to hold the sword, how to draw the sword, how to dodge... so many sword-related skills were all poured into him.
in his mind.
It was as if he had truly become a master of swordsmanship, completely different from the weakling he was before.
Of course, he was not weak before. Now he is playing Nie Rang, so his physical fitness is the same as Nie Rang at that time.
However, it is useless to have physical fitness if it cannot be used at all.
Just like in an action game, both the cute character and the boss use characters with the same attributes. However, the cute character can be instantly killed by monsters without taking any damage, while the boss can kill monsters without taking any damage.
Now that I have gained proficiency in swordsmanship, I feel even more powerful.
What shocked Nie Rang even more was not his improvement in combat power in the game, but this wonderful feeling similar to "initiation"!
He has played many other virtual reality games before. Even the most advanced consciousness-connected virtual reality games can only achieve about 50% realism and can perform extremely precise actions just like in reality.
He already feels amazing, but in this game, he can actually acquire muscle memory directly through the game mechanism?!
Isn’t this invincible?
Zhao Haiping has no time to care about what kind of black technology this is for the time being. Those who can wait until they leave the game can go to the forum.
The top priority at this time is to clear the copy first.
Zhao Haiping's confidence greatly increased and he followed the young eunuch to the palace again.
"The common people bow to your majesty!"
Zhao Haiping knelt in the main hall as before, holding the wooden box high with both hands.
There was still silence and no response, but this time Zhao Haiping learned his lesson and did not dare to look up even to death.
After a while, I heard a deep voice coming from a distance in front of me: "Get up."
In fact, the interval was very short, but under such huge mental pressure, Zhao Haiping only felt that the days were like years.
However, just as he stood up, he heard Emperor Yan Ling suddenly shouting angrily without any warning: "Why are you so frightened and your legs are shaking? Is it possible that there is a ghost in your heart and another plan?!
"explain!"
The sound was like thunder, echoing throughout the hall.
Zhao Haiping's heart felt as if ten thousand grass and mud horses were galloping past.
He knew that history books recorded that Emperor Yan Ling had a perverse temperament, was moody, and would often drag ministers down and behead them for inexplicable trivial matters, but those were only written records after all.
Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know what these eight words mean.
Seeing that this time it was about to be mailed inexplicably again, Zhao Haiping was so anxious that he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, calm down!
"Grass people...Grass people are rough people in the countryside. They are frightened by the power of the King, so they are trembling and fearful."
Sweat dripped from his forehead. Zhao Haiping knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head. He felt that he was only 0.01 centimeters away from sudden death.
It was another short but extremely torturous time.
Emperor Yan Ling seemed to agree with this statement and looked at the young eunuch beside him: "Go and get the auspiciousness in his hand for me."
Zhao Haiping was stunned for a moment.
Huh? That’s not right, that’s not what the script is like?
If you don't let me go up and offer the treasure, how can I assassinate you?
Seeing the little eunuch walking quickly, Zhao Haiping said quickly: "Wait a minute!
"Your Majesty, although this black jade unicorn is auspicious, it is a pity that there is a small flaw on it, which is difficult to detect unless you look carefully.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to come closer and point it out to Your Majesty."
The little eunuch stopped, as if waiting for further instructions from Emperor Yan Ling.
Zhao Haiping felt like there was something going on, and he was already thinking about how to perform after stepping forward, how to draw out the sword inside the black jade unicorn, and where to stab Yan Lingdi's body.
However, Emperor Yan Ling ignored his request at all.
"Since you are so frightened by my divine power that you are terrified even when you look at me from a distance in the palace, why do you dare to come forward and personally point out the flaws of this black jade unicorn to me at this time?
"Hmph, it seems that you have ulterior motives and have other plans!
"Someone, take him down!"
Zhao Haiping fainted.
Worri, your uncle!
Why doesn't this NPC follow the script? How can it change the script on its own?
