The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 52: ?Delivered hope
In the end, Si Darken still failed to successfully pass the level of "Nightmare: Sporadic Mill".
Although he died more than twenty times in the nightmare, this was already the most advanced time he had made... He even felt that if he came back two or three times, he might be able to see the boss.
But just when Si Anke was about to continue demining physically and try out all the traps inside the sporulation mill... Lin Yiyi suddenly sent him a barrage, telling Si Anke not to die again.
Just now, Neuser came again and sent a lot of very valuable information. Now the players on the forum have begun to analyze and discuss this new information very enthusiastically based on what Si Anqi saw.
——That is, what happened here before "'Nightmare: Sporadic Mill' was born".
With this thing, many things that seemed confusing before will be solved.
Now players have realized that nightmares are deformed history - if we can understand the truth of history, it will undoubtedly be helpful to purify nightmares.
Thirdly, at least I can have an idea for solving the problem.
If you know the various traps, mechanisms and monsters in nightmares, what do they correspond to? You can guess what might be effective to deal with it... instead of resorting to exhaustive methods and passing through one life after another.
Complete all investigations first, and then enter the nightmare - this is the mainstream tactic used by the indigenous people of this world to purify the nightmare when the erosion is limited and extremely precious.
Si Anke naturally understands that... no matter how smart a person is, if their intelligence is extremely limited, they will have no room for thinking.
So when he heard that his sister had obtained new information, he immediately stopped taking advantage of it. Instead, he lay down at the door of the sporulation mill and began to close his eyes and meditate.
——Unexpectedly, this did not trigger any death trigger.
He waited until six o'clock in the morning the next day before finally waking up from the nightmare.
"That is to say, I am lucky. This save point happens to be relatively safe, and nothing will happen if I hang up."
After Si Anqi opened his eyes, he looked at Lin Yiyi sitting by the bed and spat out the first sentence: "If it was a dead block that didn't let you hang up, I'm afraid I would have died in it."
After he woke up, Si Anji realized that... his corrosion rate had unknowingly increased to 70%.
And after waking up, a new debuff appeared:
[On the verge of madness: Your soul is already overwhelmed, and your **** are stitched to the bottom of your pupils by fear. You are about to go crazy. 】
[Your will attribute is temporarily -3, and visions will occasionally appear; all effects obtained, the time required to produce echoes is reduced to one-third; every time you are about to wake up from a nightmare, there is a small probability Immediately enter a new nightmare; all effects of distortion spells are increased by an additional 30%]
"...I don't dare to fight now."
Si Anqi gritted his teeth and felt a little sore in his balls.
It's even a debuff with a 70% erosion rate.
This made him completely afraid to enter the nightmare.
If it were 90%, 100%... would he die where he was?
After the erosion reaches this level, will normal people really still enter nightmares?
Then how did they... get completely eroded?
Si An can’t figure this out.
After all, he is the first player whose erosion rate reaches the critical value.
Because other players simply cannot die so many times. Their total game time, as well as the scarcity of nightmares in Noah's Kingdom, made them like hungry wolves with green eyes when they saw nightmares, pounced on them and disappeared in an instant.
——The "public experience" of this game is really difficult to obtain.
To upgrade, the most direct way is to purify nightmares that meet the specifications.
After Yummy Wind Goose advanced to the silver level, even nightmares of "normal difficulty" could no longer upgrade their professional level. According to such rules, after they advance to the gold level, only distortion-level nightmares can be used to upgrade.
Si Anqi even suspected that the level they upgraded and the experience they gained from the nightmare... were they exactly the experience and level held by the deceased?
However, normally Si An Ke would not die so many.
He will be the first player to reach the critical point. Part of the reason is his persistence in solving puzzles and the difficulty of this dungeon is really high... But in fact, the more important factor is that he is worried about himself. Sister Lin Yiyi.
Watching my sister die again and again in nightmares... Even though I know that this is just an insignificant "death", it will not even bring about dragon cough, loss of humanity, and no echo of blood.
But this is not a game that can be restarted at any time.
——Death is really painful.
Even though the player's pain sensation is greatly weakened, it still really hurts.
As her biological brother, Si Anke also wanted to do something to help her.
My sister has been his idol since he was a child, and she is the flag that stands in the distance in his eyes.
Since they came to this place, they definitely did not level up just to purify a few nightmares. But in order to completely purify this nightmare... Then, exploring the path is what the pioneers must do.
If Si Anqi followed his own decryption ideas and intuition, he would never have died so many times, maybe even less than half.
But his duty is to physically detect mines.
Even if he knew there might be a trap there, he still had to step in and take a look.
This is not about technology.
It's just the awareness of "willingness to endure pain".
You don’t need your sister to do this kind of menial, hard, and tiring work—he can do it too.
——With two girls, how could he be afraid of pain and hardship, let them be responsible for paving the way, and enjoy the benefits himself?
Si An immediately knew that he was once a very autistic person.
It’s hard to find topics to talk about with strangers, and I wouldn’t even want to leave the computer if I could. His friends are basically only on the Internet, his smile only appears when chatting with troll netizens, and he only talks and laughs with his fans who don't know whether they are human or ghost.
And part of the reason for this... is Lin Yiyi.
As a sister, she is really excellent.
But this also put greater pressure on Si An Ke.
No matter what he does, he will be compared to his sister - not just his parents, but also relatives and other friends, as well as his teachers.
He and Lin Yiyi went to the same elementary school, the same junior high school, and the same high school. The overlap rate of teachers in their middle schools is at least more than 30%.
When he was a child, he felt resentful:
——Why can others be praised for their progress even if they score 80 or 90 in the exam? He occasionally scored 95 on the test, but he still had to be scolded for regressing and being scolded for being lazy? If this is the case, wouldn’t it mean that the worse off people are, the better they will be treated?
——Why can others happily go and have fun if they get into the top five in the class; but if he doesn’t get the first place, he will be reminded that “his sister always got the first place that year”?
——Why did he work so hard to accomplish what his sister had accomplished? Why can he get one-third of the joy of others only by putting in three or four times the effort of others?
And. ~IndoMTL.com~Why should he have such an excellent sister?
Whether it is good at studying or being popular, he is also very good even as a UP leader, and he has become famous easily. And he tried his best to play some difficult games and work **** the program effects, but the number of followers was not as good as Lin Yiyi.
Although Si Anke never said it out loud.
But there was resentment in his heart.
That's different now.
He gradually realized...
The expectations from parents and teachers are exactly the hope that is conveyed.
He is not his sister's shadow.
——It should be the transcendent.
