absurd deduction game

Chapter 16 Extra Offerings
After an evaluation game, the total time is less than an hour.

The sky outside was the brightest time of the day, Yu Xing woke up from the bed, saw the familiar bedroom scene, and sat up with his arms up.

Before he fell, he was sitting on the edge of the bed. At this time, his legs were still bent on the ground. The short game experience was like a dream, and he was in a trance for a while.

After a while, he shook his head, hiding the feelings that he couldn't tell outsiders in his heart. He stretched out his hand, and with a thought, the outline of an illusory mask gradually solidified at his fingertips, and finally turned into a physical mask as light as a feather. , pinched by him.

The mask is all white, with elegant, leaf-shaped holes in the eyes, sparse and quirky patterns on the corners, delicate and soft shapes, and a little pink on the contours of the lips. If you look closely, it is actually He Yu Xing's face. Perfect fit.

The expression of the mask is like joy but sadness, resentment and anger, making people not dare to look at it for a long time, otherwise it will produce a fear in the heart.

This is the embodiment of the persona, that is, the embodiment of the system. In certain types of game games, the player will have a special effect when wearing it on his face.

It's the same whether you're viewing the mask template directly in your mind, or viewing the template after you've materialized the mask.

Yu Xing was staring at the mask, the fear that could not be suppressed was dissipated by him. He studied several officially displayed attributes and the last option.

In terms of identity, there is a progress bar behind the junior player. Presumably enough points can be used to level up. Yu Xing doesn't know what it is for, so he continued to look down.

"The weight of the mask...is that what my personality is like?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression half a smile, and muttered to himself, "Crazy has the highest proportion, calmness is second, aren't these two contradictory things? ? Chaos third..."

He lowered his voice, as if he had thought about it for a while, and finally let out an inexplicable sigh.

The suspicion that the system is not threatening in the holder's description is insignificant to him, skip this column, and he will focus his attention on the personal sacrifice.

[Sacrificial offering] is the knife-like thing in Zhao Yijiu's hand. It has the power of some ghosts and can play different roles in the deduction. The form of the sacrificial offering is not only a weapon, but also a picture. Oil paintings, a lantern, even a cat.

A player can wear six sacrifices at the same time. The sacrifices are usually on the mask and can be taken out at any time if necessary. If the mask is embodied, the pattern of the sacrifice symbolizing the "wearing" can be seen on the mask. .

It is precisely because he knew these things that he felt that the wrong place in the string of data made people care.

There was no sacrifice on his body, and he had never touched it, but the mask told him that he was already wearing one, and there was a small gray hollowed out and incomplete compass pattern between the eyebrows of the embodied mask to confirm this.

"The sacrifice I already had on me, could it be..." His expression changed, and then he subconsciously reached out and covered his face. Even if there was no one else here, he didn't want people to see his current expression.

"Sure enough, my direction is not wrong." He murmured in a mosquito-like voice, trying to control the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't help but bend.

Yu Xing wasn't annoyed at all because this [Unknown Offering], which didn't even show its name, took up an offering column. On the contrary, it was definitely good news for him.

Soon, he adjusted his mood, put down his hand, and continued to watch.

"The degree of alienation...it's not important."

"Deduction mall... This one has to be looked at."

Yu Xing chose to enter, and suddenly, a commodity column with not many items was listed.

The above shows the items that beginners and intermediate players can buy, divided into three sections.

One, the system exchange page.

The products on this page are divided into two types. The first is that concepts that are beyond the control of ordinary people, such as wealth and health, are clearly marked and within reach.

The cheapest is wealth. Take RMB as an example, 1 point can be exchanged for 50 yuan.

This ratio is not exaggerated. Yu Xing is now worth 233 points, which can only be exchanged for more than 1 yuan.

What caught his attention was that the back of the exchange column read: [After the exchange is confirmed, the currency will be handed over to the deducer in a way that is reasonable, safe, has no worries, does not violate morals, and does not harm the legitimate interests of any innocent person].

This is interesting. Although Yu Xing really wanted to see how the money would come, he didn't waste his points on it.

After watching for a while, he glanced at the [Health] column.

This... is something he urgently needs right now, his physical condition is still getting worse, he has been dragging it on for a long time, and finally he is weak enough to be put in by the deduction system. Now that the goal is achieved, there is no need to drag it on.

But when he wanted to redeem all the points, thinking about how much he could improve, he only got a cold reminder.

[Your physical problems are not naturally formed, they belong to the realm of absurdity, and this mall cannot cure them.It is recommended to enter the wish list to make a wish]

"Wish list?" Yu Xing repeated in a low voice, not in a hurry to exit the mall, but just kept browsing after memorizing it.

Another section on the system redemption page is called [Player Case Video Viewing Rights].

The gamer can search for any other gamer who knows the name, and spend points to buy the game video of the game for which the other party has opened viewing rights, so as to learn about the gamer's game habits or learn from the game's game skills.

Yu Xing can only buy videos of players of the same level. He randomly watched some "system recommendations" and "latest recordings", and the price was between 10 points and 30 points. The prices of videos rated by S are high, and the prices from A to D are decreasing.

His evaluation game is S-level, but only the official game can be included, that is to say, starting from the next game, after the deduction is over, Yu Xing can choose to open or not to open the video of the deduction game with his main perspective.

"This is a good way to earn points." He was in a good mood and looked at the remaining two sections of the mall.

The second section is called [Sacrifice Trading Center], where players can trade freely, which is equivalent to a game auction house, which can be exchanged or purchased with points.

The third section is the [Intelligence Trading Center], Yu Xing thought about it and looked forward to entering it.

"Analysis of the strength of the resident mc and guests of the 120th episode of Horror Journey. The prediction of the 120th episode of the fourth guest... What is this?" The content in it was somewhat beyond Yu Xing's expectations. He didn't know what kind of Horror Journey program was this? Heard of it.

"The Weird Detective Agency is recruiting new recruits. It is required that there is a character who has experienced more than three deductions in the investigator deduction game?"

"..." The things inside were bells and whistles, and for the first time Yu Xing showed a sincere look.

嘤嘤嘤, people are still young and new, they don't know anything!
All this information requires points and is expensive. He rubbed his eyes aggrieved and closed the mall with a blank expression.

These...let's wait until he knows more about the absurd world.

Then next, wish list!

[Wish can be entered here, and the system will give the price of fulfilling the wish according to the size of the wish. Once the wish is determined, it cannot be revoked, and it can be replaced after completion.Current Wish 0/3]

"It turns out that there is such a thing." Yu Xing tentatively entered -

"Let the negative state of my body disappear and my physical strength return to normal level."

【Are you sure about this wish? 】

"hold head high."

【Evaluating】

【confirmed】

[To make the player Yu Xing's negative state disappear and return to the level of a normal person requires a price: reaching the status of an advanced player, 3000 points, and completing seven games within two months. 】

"Ah, fortunately, it's not particularly difficult." Yu Xing breathed a sigh of relief. It would be good if there was a solution. Although the price seemed a bit high, in fact, he only had to pay 3000 points, and the identity and time limit could only be counted. Attaching conditions doesn't do him any harm.

It is nothing more than that he has to enter the game at a high frequency next.

Of course, Yu Xing also knows that only he can say that. Others may already be crying when they see the time limit of seven deductions in two months.

After solving the urgent task, Yu Xing, with a relaxed attitude, clicked on [Deduction Game Direction to Choose Market].

This is a new option. After clicking it, the content of the mall information trading center seems to be explained.

[Deduce the game direction to choose the market]

[Introduction: In addition to single-player random and team-based random games, players can choose "work" here to get different benefits]

【Job List】

[Newcomer Shura Show: Held once a month, select the five most potential newcomers of the month as guests of the show for cooperative/competitive deduction games (voluntary), the whole deduction will be broadcast live, the audience pays to enter, and the reward will be given by the guests and the system [-] divided into five. 】

[Anomaly research project team: This project team aims to study a recently discovered "large-scale continuous absurd world", which naturally forms another game system, and the human players in it are called experiencers. Materials, submissions can be rewarded accordingly, and negotiation is accepted. 】

……

There are more than a dozen pages in the list, and there are many options. Yu Xing even found some jobs that are very suitable for a newcomer like him.

When he wanted to know more, he was told that he needed to complete the main quest first.

The main line is the last content on the persona. Yu Xing muttered, "This whole thing is really like a game", and then clicked it open to take a look.

There are several types of deduction games on the main line, marked as [help newcomers familiarize themselves with each type of game content].

In fact, it is to try each game once, and the difficulty is the difficulty of the official game, but each player must first complete the content of the main line according to the process and then freely choose.

Finally, after reading all of them, Yu Xing loosened the mask of realization, stretched out, and stood up carefully and slowly.

He just came out of the game and is not in a hurry to proceed with the main story. On the contrary, in the evaluation game he has experienced, he still has some things he wants to confirm.

For example, in the last phone call Zheng Song made, who was the person named Ning Feng?

It seems that Ning Feng also understands some unexplainable things, so what is his identity?
The absurd world is also connected to each other, which he has determined from the job list in the [Market].

Therefore, people in the absurd world must have other existences besides being a reflection of criminals in reality.

However, his question now is that through the game, Yu Xing can't confirm whether the killer's personality has occupied Zheng Song's body and whether he has actually committed a crime.

He thought about it, went out from the bedroom, walked into the study, and found a stack of A4 paper in the desk drawer.

There are a few books that Yu Xing has been reading recently on the desk. The bookshelves on the side are densely packed, and there are almost all kinds of books. There is an easel near the window. An unfinished painting hangs there. plate.

Yu Xing sat in front of the desk, pushed the book on the table to the side, vacated the space, spread the A4 paper, took out a charcoal pen from the pen holder, and drew a sketch with a professional technique.

The general method of sketching is to first draw the whole and then the part, outline the proportions of the shape, and then deal with the local details and light and dark parts in detail.

But Yu Xing does not need to follow the steps to paint. He has a very strong control over the brush, so he is very free. Where to paint first depends on his mood. Soon, a portrait will gradually become clearer under his brush.
