Infinite spooky game

Chapter 96 "I Am"

["Hopeless Sea" evaluation level S, reward points 5000]

[Clear the True End line of "Hopeless Sea" and get 5000 reward points]

[World view cracking degree 100%, reward points 5000]

[Complete the medium-difficulty side mission and receive 5000 reward points]

Sitting on a high-backed chair and looking at the system prompt that the side mission was completed, Qiss was not surprised.

After the dungeon reached the middle stage, he realized that it was unnecessary to explore the specific identities of each player.

Just use the time trick to make other players die.No matter what camp they are in, all living beings are equal before death.

The only role of identity is probably to prevent Zeiss from directly attacking certain people in the early stage.

And after getting the Poseidon's Scepter, this effect no longer exists.

Rules no longer constitute restrictions. The holder of Poseidon's scepter is the creator of the rules on the island. The source of all strange powers naturally has the privilege of violating strange rules.

[Unlock the achievement "Demigod Executioner" (directly causing the death of a demigod NPC), reward points 1000]

The system prompts were refreshed. When Qisi saw the word "demigod", he raised his eyelids: "Is Yuna a demigod at that level? It doesn't seem to have much value..."

"However, what is the definition of demigods in Weird Games? Believers, or servants of gods?"

No one answered him, and the prompt text on the system interface continued to refresh:
[Unlock the achievement "Folk Song Collector" (collect three weird songs), reward 1000 points]

【Total reward points 22000, already deposited in points account】

The total number of points in the account has become [44500], which has doubled all of a sudden, which is really a good sign.

After becoming an official player, the points reward for each copy will further increase.At this rate, you only need to clear 100 more dungeons to earn 48 million points.

Of course, this is based on not spending points to purchase props.

Many props in the mall cost tens of thousands, 10,000+, which is definitely a big consumption of points.

Qiss has learned that most players are forcibly pulled into strange games, and the goal is just to survive.

Leaving the dungeon requires 1000 million points, which is far away. All they can do is exchange points for props in order to increase their survival probability.

In comparison, Zeiss is much better off.Not only because of the generous rewards for successfully completing levels every time, but also because he does not feel that survival is difficult and necessary.

If you really encounter a dungeon that is too difficult and you can't survive, then just die. If you die early, you will be reborn.

[Congratulations on successfully completing the copy of "Hopeless Sea" and receiving the reward prop: Poseidon Scepter]

Ziss questioned: "I obviously got this by my own ability. Shouldn't it be saved directly in the toolbar like a tape recorder, and then give me a reward for completing the level perfectly?"

The questioning was ineffective. The milky-white scepter covered with a layer of shimmering light was quietly suspended in the darkness, just shy of slapping the player's face with "Love or Not".

Realizing that he could not obtain more benefits, Qisi gave up and held the scepter in his hand.

[Name: Poseidon Scepter]

【Type: Prop】

[Effect: Make you look more like a god (the more evil you absorb, the stronger the effect seems to be)]

Qisi looked at the refreshed prop effects and fell silent.

Sure enough, Weird Games will not allow too powerful props to flow into the market. The effect of controlling sea areas and formulating rules in the copies is advertising fraud.

Now this effect is both 'like a god' and 'seemingly', and it simply exudes a strong sense of magic.

This prop, well, it should be pretty good to carry to the beach to spear fish...

"That's great, at least this thing has an edge." Zeiss stared at the tip of the scepter and mocked, but he didn't feel disappointed in his heart.

The [Evil God Finger Bone] that he thought was useless at first helped him defeat the legendary Puppet Master Yicheng. It is also a prop involving gods. No matter how useless it looks, it cannot be completely useless.

As long as he uses it well, it might become the key to breaking a certain situation one day in the future and gain greater benefits for him.

Qisi's eyes darkened as his thoughts touched the [Evil God's Finger Bone].

The god who calls himself "Qi" knows everything about him. The turning point in "Hopeless Sea" is said to be a coincidence, but more like a pre-designed fate...

Was it really an accident that the member of the Silas Guild came to his studio and fell ill and died?
This kind of thing cannot be verified, nor can it be concluded through logical inference. It is like a fish bone stuck in the throat that cannot be removed or swallowed. Only forgetting can get rid of the trouble...

Qisi gathered his thoughts and continued to read the prop information, his eyes lingering on the notes column.

[Note: After Poseidon was eaten, his authority was taken back by the rules and scattered throughout the world. From then on, false gods ran rampant and ghosts wreaked havoc on the world. 】

"So Poseidon is dead? Is the corpse talking? The expression sharing food sounds like a treatment similar to a contract."

Qisi touched his chin and thought idly: "Are these gods all spare food? I wonder how it tastes..."

He didn't know whether other gods were delicious or not. He only knew that the divine meat in Su's Village was not delicious at all.

However, practice brings true knowledge, and if he could encounter a copy of the Poseidon God in the future, he wouldn't mind trying it again.

[Your skill "Soul Contract" has been baptized by the copy, and the success rate has changed]

[Success rate: 23% (the throwing results of two ten-sided dice are regarded as the tens and ones respectively, and the score is greater than 77, which is judged as success)]

A new prompt came out, and Qiss didn't show too much surprise.

Skills, like props, can be evolved.Skills like the Puppet Master's cannot have such a powerful effect as soon as they come out. They must have evolved over and over again to reach their current level.

I just don’t know how far the soul contract can evolve in the future, and whether the success rate can eventually increase to [-]%.

If it can be determined to be [-]% successful, it will be an existence similar to "what you say follows the law". With Qisi's speaking skills, combined with the effect of the rose heart, he will be able to trick anyone into signing any terms.

Of course, these are not things that Zis needs to consider now.

In the copy of "Hopeless Sea", he used Chang Xu, Angela, Yuna and Liu Yuhan as experimental subjects to figure out the usage of soul contract skills at the current stage:
First, if you use means to force the other party to agree to certain terms, or reach a consensus with someone on an equal footing based on interests, it will be directly judged as a successful activation of the skill.

The contracts between Qisi, Angela and Chang Xu fall into this category.

Second, if the other party cannot ensure that the terms of the contract are fully fulfilled, or the intention is unclear, success will be determined based on the result of the throw, and enforcement will be enforced after success.Zeiss and Yuna made a deal, asking Yuna to temporarily control the ghosts through him, and the contract they made applies to this.

The rules do not prohibit Yuna from lending her power to control ghosts, but it is not easy to do so.

After throwing 84 points and judging it as successful, Ziss temporarily gained the corresponding authority with the help of the world rules.

Third, each copy can control a new player's soul. The contract to mortgage the soul must be written on paper. That piece of paper will be able to shuttle between reality and weirdness, and cannot be damaged by any force.

This looks very similar to the Puppet Master's skill, but the triggering conditions are more stringent, and the soul cannot be harvested when the opponent is unaware.

At that time, Qisi watched as Liu Yuhan copied the terms of the contract into his notebook and then wrote down his name. Only then did the prompt "Soul Contract Signed" appear on the system interface.

"It seems that I will have to carry pen and paper with me from now on." Qisi thought, entering the second section of the system mall, his eyes wandering among a series of daily necessities.

In the next 10 minutes, items appeared out of thin air on the desk in front of him from time to time: first a piece of draft paper, then a bag of pens, then a set of white shirts and black trousers for change, two handkerchiefs, towels, tooth cups and toothbrushes, backpacks……

Compared with props, these supplies are much cheaper. After purchasing them like this, I still have [44013] points left.

The extra [13] points did affect the appearance. Qisi bought another can of candy, and there were still [3] points left.

He casually clicked into a player's live broadcast room and threw in the last remaining change.

The player stood in an ancient tomb, wandering at the fork where two roads diverged, and finally hesitantly chose a path to move forward.

After hearing the news of the reward, he turned around and said to his companions with a smile: "Someone rewarded me, it seems I made the right choice!"

The next second, a giant white-bone snake made of countless skeletons sprang out of the darkness and bit him off from the waist in one bite.

Listening to the painful screams, Ziss packed the messy things into the hiking bag in an orderly manner.

He zipped up the mountaineering bag, and when he looked up again, he only saw the player's upper body still struggling and twitching forward.

Blood flowed into a pool, and he wanted to see more clearly, but the screen in the live broadcast room had gone dark, and two lines of white words floated faintly:

[Thanks to this player for using his short life to provide us with jokes and fun. He has closed the broadcast forever. You might as well go to the live broadcast rooms of other anchors to have a look~]

It was an ordinary hell joke, but it quite resonated with Zeiss.

He raised the corners of his lips to show that he was pleased and closed the live broadcast interface.

The fun provided by the copy of "Hopeless Sea" has been enough for him to chew on for a while. He does not want to raise his emotional threshold too early and overdraw his expectations for the future.

There was still half an hour left for a single stay in the game space. Qiss looked at a golden leaf-shaped icon in the toolbar.

That icon appeared after Liu Yuhan signed the contract, symbolizing the girl's soul.

Qisi's eyes stayed on the icon for two seconds, and another system interface appeared in front of him - belonging to Liu Yuhan.

["Hopeless Sea" evaluation grade A, reward points 3000]

[Clear the True End line of "Hopeless Sea" and get 5000 reward points]

[World view cracking degree 100%, reward points 5000]

[Total reward points 13000]

After signing the soul contract, Qisi's authority over Liu Yuhan was second only to the rules, and even equal to the weird game system.

In other words, every time Liu Yuhan clears a dungeon in the future, her points will pass through Qisi's hands first, and then Qisi will decide how much to allocate to her.

Qisi drew [-] points and put them into his account, and returned all the rest.

He understands the principle of sustainable fishing, and does not intend to squeeze Liu Yuhan dry too early and let her die in the game because she has no money to buy props.

I believe that under the positive motivation of the free pie and points, this girl will work diligently to clear more dungeons and give him more points.

As his mind wandered, Qisi suddenly had an intuition and wanted to take Liu Yuhan's soul blade out of the toolbar and have a look.

Thoughts turned into actions in a second, and he saw the leaves fluttering out and flying towards the thick fog to the right of the high-back chair, disappearing in the dim dust and smoke.

As if a switch had been touched, a golden vine grew on the right hand side at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually spreading its branches behind the high-backed chair.

The bare rattan glowed with a faint golden light, and only two leaves hung on the top. One was more solid, and it clearly represented Liu Yuhan; the other was just a thick outline of a shadow, flickering on and off, as if it would disappear at any time. .

"What is this? Plant leaves and reap leaves, buy one, get one free?" Qisi was joking, but his breathing was quickened by the sudden novelty.

He stretched out his hand to touch the shadow of the golden leaf. The moment his fingertips touched it, a string of knowledge jumped directly into his mind, bypassing the process of cognition, like numbers, and seemed to be words, but those words had never been seen before. The inscribed symbols cannot be read one by one...

Zeiss found that he naturally knew what to do, or that the information was telling him what to do.

He reached out and grasped the Poseidon scepter beside him. In an instant, the majestic glyphs were transcribed into pictures and appeared before his eyes.

The gloomy sky shrouded the scorched earth with scattered ash, the cracked earth was covered with traces like decayed tree roots, wisps of black smoke flowed into clusters, and white skeletons hanging with rotting flesh crawled toward a towering black altar.

The altar was square, with dark red outlines on its surface that Zeiss couldn't understand, but felt extremely familiar with, like congealed blood or pus from a rotting corpse.

The four corners of the altar displayed the brain, heart, lungs and large intestine respectively. Based on experience, Ziss judged that these four things all came from humans.

White candles formed a circle and burned at the two halves of the altar. The melted wax dripped to the ground and flowed into a round outline.

There is a white figure in the center of the circle that is particularly conspicuous, clean and sacred, and incompatible with the filth and filth around it.

It was a long-haired woman wearing a long white trench coat, kneeling on the ground, muttering solemnly:
"The lord of the gods exiled outside the rules of the world."

"The master of the soul who is in charge of the power of contract transactions."

"A great being that is older than history."

“I pray for your gaze and for you to answer the prayers of your faithful followers.”

The picture seemed to be set on a loop, and the four sentences were repeated over and over again, never ending.

'What's this?A cult ritual? ' Qisi thought jokingly, but his mind was calmer than ever before, as if the scene before him had been foreshadowed and he had been waiting for it for a long time.

There was a voice at the bottom of his mind urging him to respond. He pondered for a moment, lowered his eyes and smiled, saying:

"I'm here."

　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone! ! ! The foreshadowing left by "Rose Manor" has been partially wrapped up, and only Lin Chen is left (as expected, it is more convenient to have them all gone)
