Interactive Fiction: The Right Choice After Unemployment

Chapter 86
Option 4.8 is 33.3%, option 19 is 42.9%, option [-] is [-]%, and option [-] is [-]%.

……

【Option [-]】

[Open to the darkest, so that the cave can't see your fingers]

……

Zheng Zhuo grabbed the magic stone that manipulated the light, and the cursor on the screen descended with his thoughts.

70%.

50%.

30%.

0%.

Zheng Zhuo pulled it to the end in one breath.

For a moment, the venue was plunged into a lightless night.

……

The change happens when the pursuer jumps into the pit right after him.

In an instant, all light disappeared.Several players landed near Tao Tao, and in the next second, they couldn't see their fingers in the cave.

"what happened!?"

"Venue change—"

"So dark!? Could the brightness be too low—"

The pursuers were in a mess due to the sudden situation.They could see nothing.

And the bears couldn't see anything either.

"(Lighting goes out...?)"

Tao Tao asked the bear man to grab himself from the ground and put it on his chest.She clung to the armor on the bearman's chest so that she wouldn't get lost.

then……

"(attack.)"

Blunt double-edged axes whizzed through the mine tunnels.

No one can see.It's the same for yourself and your enemies.

The only advantage is... For the Bearman, everyone is an enemy except himself.

Bang bang bang!
"Wow!"

"Wow!"

Facing the chasing soldiers who were flustered for a while and didn't take action immediately, the Xiongren rose up to attack.Whose body did the double-edged blunt ax hit, and whose weapon did it smash?I don't know everything.Everyone only knew that the bear man was frantically swinging his big axe, attacking everyone he could reach.

"Lighting... Lighting!"

Some contestants set about lighting.

"Follow."

Under Tao Tao's command, the bear man rushed forward.The giant ax split everything in front of it, picked up the illuminating players, and sent them flying.

"Attack! Quick! Attack!"

Taking advantage of this bright space, the other contestants waved out various magic lights.The bearman ate part of the attack, and picked up some of the attackers in the dark.

As a result, both sides fell into a real swap battle.

……

Time passed minute by minute.

The Xiongren acted with the policy of attacking the lighting personnel first, and quickly dealt with some players.However, it is also getting tired itself.Its double-edged blunt ax hit the stone wall several times in the dark, and most of it was already missing.But fortunately, the enemy was also blind and did not notice this.

"(... endless...)"

There are many?

Tao Tao began to consider the way out, but no matter what, the situation was very dangerous.

Right now the bears barely have the upper hand.But field effects always come to an end.

And it was very difficult for him to kill all the pursuers in the field before that.

... Rather, it is a question of whether the bears can survive until then.

"(Summon again...can it be summoned without being discovered...)"

Too dangerous.Without the monster, he would have no fighting power.

"(However, it seems that it can only be...)"

……

"—Tao Tao!"

suddenly.

Tao Tao heard a female voice coming from behind.

"!?"

Even though he couldn't see anything, Tao Tao still turned his head to look——

In the darkness, there is an orange-red, very small lamp.

"Come here!"

who! ?
Tao Tao could not determine the intention of the visitor.But right now, everything in front of her is dead.

"...!"

As a last resort, she patted the bear man on the shoulder.

The bear man started to run, away in the dark.

"She's running away!"

"Catch up!"

The "Allies" and the pursuers attempted to give chase.However, the darkness persisted, and the pursuers crashed against the stone wall.

No one can find their way.

……

Following the little lamp and turning through the winding mine road, Tao Tao and the bear man came to an open-pit mine.

Tao Tao raised his head.I can feel that it is open air here because of the wind.But it was as dark here as in the mine, without any light source.

All the light sources are only the small lights in front of you.

"...Thank you for helping me."

Tao Tao said hesitantly.

"You are……?"

The person in front of him approached.Tao Tao saw her face clearly.

"Guo... Shuang?"

It is the female player Guo Shuang.Tao Tao has an impression of her: she was last year's top 48.This year, it can be regarded as the favorite to win the championship.

"Someone sold your information, and they want to get you into trouble."

Guo Shuang said.

"Thank you for helping me."

Tao Tao slowly jumped off the bear man.

"But why did you save me?"

"……Um……"

Seeing the other party fall into silence.Tao Tao had a bad premonition in his heart.

She commanded the bearman to raise the blunt double-edged axe.

at this time.

hum.

A muffled sound.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of skin and flesh ripping open.

"Varied……"

At first, Tao Tao couldn't even react to what happened.She just turned her head subconsciously——

Then, she saw a mechanical arm protruding from the rock face, piercing the bearman's flank.

"Guo Shuang!"

Tao Tao yelled and turned around.

And Guo Shuang clapped his hands.

Magic lights lit up in the venue.Tao Tao saw that the rock wall was densely packed, covered with tentacle-like mechanical arms and claws.

"To save you...of course it is to swallow your magic stone."

"chief."

Two mechanical claws grabbed the giant bear from left and right!The giant bear roared, roared, and wrestled with them—

And the third mechanical claw rushed from the side, knocking Tao Tao into the air.

"……Uh……!"

Tao Tao fell to the ground.

"...to snatch the magician's magic stone...ahem...no one...would do that..."

She coughed and forced herself up.

"Because it's not worth it."

Guo Shuang approached Tao Tao very lightly.

"It's too slow to grab low-scoring players' magic stones. It's better to hunt monsters. It's hard to get high-scoring players. If you're not careful, you'll lose yourself."

"So..."

"We need some special means."

"You seem to have made a lot of enemies this year?"

Guo Shuang walked up to Tao Tao, bent down, and took the bag containing the magic stone from her waist.

[Guo Shuang: Points: 171]

[Tao Tao: Points: 0]

The score changed instantly.

"...why... huh..."

Tao Tao wanted to get up, but was unable to do so because of the pain caused by the mechanical claw attack just now.

"Haha."

Seeing Tao Tao like this, Guo Shuang smiled.

"You look the same as when you were stabbed. But if you had given up then, you wouldn't suffer so much now."

"What you suffer now, and what you will suffer next."

"!?how do you know--"

Could it be that Guo Shuang had someone stab me with a dagger?
Tao Tao's mind was in chaos.She lay on the ground, watching Guo Shuang go farther and farther with the bag, board the magic mechanical claw, and fly to the top of the mine...

In the distance, the bear people were still suppressed.But it did not let go of its great axe.

The giant ax swung, but couldn't cut through the mechanical arm.

……

Zheng Zhuo stared at the screen.

The foreman gave the order again.

"The element content of the site has increased."

coming.

The situation is critical.As long as there are field effects, there is no problem.

Zheng Zhuo pushed the button indicating the increase in element content to the top in one breath.

"(maximum!)"

He wants the elements to affect the Ursine's weapons—

at this time.

Click.

There was a sudden slight problem with the indicator panel.

"Ok?"

Zheng Zhuo saw his [Quick Cast] light up.

"Hey, could this be..."

Influenced by Zheng Zhuo's thoughts, [Quick Casting] was activated!The element content broke through the upper limit in one breath.Zheng Zhuo saw on the screen panel, pure elemental energy erupted from the mine and condensed on the bearman's weapon——

"Hey, hello!"

It's over!Overdone!
Zheng Zhuo felt a chill in his heart.

But at least, he wants to make this accident less like a disaster - the pure elemental energy is too powerful, it will cut the entire site open!In that case, the match might end—

At least change the attribute of the element!
