Zombie's travel diary

Chapter 234 The real way to pass the level

"Tsk..."

Link closed his eyes and meditated, recalling every detail since entering the illusion.

In fact, he was already very careful in the process of breaking through the level. Basically, he checked every suspicious place along the way to make sure that he did not miss any details.

however.

Even so, he still couldn't pass this assessment!

"What is missing?"

Link frowned and pondered, but no matter what he thought, he couldn't find any pass points that he might have missed along the way. He had no choice but to turn around and start back the same way.

Now in the real world outside, the invisible field has shrunk by two-thirds, and there is still one-third of the time left.

He had to hurry up, otherwise he wouldn't be able to complete the assessment before the invisible field was shrunk.

"hiss--"

During the return journey, the monsters along the way still attacked Link without fear of death, and there were many elite monsters with five or six stars among them, but this time, Link had no desire to answer them at all.

Armed with a complete set of king suits, he is already so strong that monsters below the seven-star level can't even try to break through him. Now all the monsters along the way can't do him any harm.

In this way, against the monsters along the way, Link completed all the distance in a very short time.

Then, he stagnated again, because there was no road ahead, only an old castle with its gate closed.

At the beginning, he started from here, killed all the way to the dragon castle, and then was tortured by that extremely powerful dragon.

"It's not right, there is nothing special along the way."

Link was stunned again. Although he walked extremely fast along the way, his eyes were not idle, and he almost saw everything along the way.

However, under this second investigation, he still didn't find any suspicious places, and apart from the route planned for him by the illusion, there were no other secret passages for him to walk through.

He can guarantee that he has re-examined all the places that can be walked through in this secret realm, and he has absolutely not missed a single bit.

"Here is the starting point..."

Link observed the surrounding environment, "From here, you can only reach the Dragon Castle, but the road to the Dragon Castle must be wrong..."

"Then where else can I go?"

Link is already a little crazy, this place is like a cage trapping him.

It's not that he hasn't tried to attack the buildings along the way in order to let himself go beyond the limitations brought by the illusion, but he can't do any harm to all the non-monster things along the way, even a small grass on the side of the road, he Hit it with your strongest attack skills, but there is no way to cause the slightest damage to it.

Forcibly breaking through the level by destroying buildings will definitely not work!

This means that he can only break through the level according to the route planned for him by the illusion, and it is known that there is no way to pass the level if he keeps going forward.

Since he can't move forward, is it possible that he has to retreat?

"Wait, back off?"

Link was in distress, suddenly his expression was startled, and he realized something.

Yes, he can still retreat!
He was confused by the appearance of this illusion. According to the hints given to him by the environment of the illusion, he subconsciously felt that this illusion was to move forward all the way, fight monsters and level up, and finally flatten all monsters to win, but in fact it was, the illusion The hint given to him may not be correct. It is possible that the real way to pass the illusion is not to move forward, but to retreat.

The closed castle at the back looks like an unreal backdrop in a fantasy world, causing Link to never have any doubts about him, thinking that it is blocked and impassable.

However, it wasn't until this time that he realized that there was an iron lock on the gate of the ancient castle, and this element was not available in all the buildings along the way.

All the buildings along the way have very few doors. Even if there are doors, they are tightly closed. There is no such seriousness as iron locks. It seems that they are completely locked from the inside and cannot be shaken.

but.

This gate is different, the iron lock does not seem to be completely indestructible, it is very likely that as long as the iron lock is broken, he can push open the iron gate and enter the castle.

"The real way to pass the level is not really hidden at the starting point of this illusion, is it?"

The corner of Link's mouth twitched. If this is the case, then he has been busy for a long time on this road. Everything he has done, such as fighting monsters and upgrading, collecting the king's suit and defeating the eight-star stone scorpion, is simply superfluous. any proceeds.

In order to verify whether his guess was correct, Link came to the gate of the ancient castle with a heavy heart, and then touched the iron lock with his hand, intending to check how hard the iron lock was and whether it could be opened.

however.

This scene shocked him, and the iron lock was opened with a bang.

"???"

Link was stunned for about five or six seconds before he came back to his senses, and then he pushed slightly hard on the gate of the castle, and the ancient and heavy gate made a teeth-piercing sound before it was slowly opened.

The whole process was extremely easy. Link felt that he didn't use any strength. He just touched the iron door, and the iron door was opened directly due to inertia.

"Wow--"

Just when the iron door was opened, a green slime monster slime came into view. When Link came in, the slime let out a strange cry.

Link stared blankly at the slime, and he found that the slime's strength exceeded his expectations.

of course.

This unexpected result doesn't mean that the slime is too strong, on the contrary, it's because the slime is too weak, so weak that a random one-star magician can casually kill the slime.

"Ouch-"

During the two or three seconds when Link was stunned, Slime suddenly let out an exclamation, and his whole body exploded, and a bunch of keys burst out of his body.

Among Link's king suits, one of the equipment's passive skills is Thorns Halo, which has the effect of causing fixed damage to all surrounding monsters every five seconds.

Although the damage is not high, it is long-lasting and has a huge range, which is a very good effect.

however.

This very good effect is for the situation where there are a large number of enemies. If there are only one or two enemies, then the effect of this equipment is very tasteless. The damage caused to a single enemy is not as good as the most garbage attack of any green equipment. Additional skills.

However, it was such a piece of equipment that was extremely weak against a single enemy, and after only using it for a while, this slime died suddenly.

This also proves from the side that this slime is really weak, so weak that it is not as good as a scum with only five combat power.

"Isn't this key just for customs clearance..."

Seeing the key that Slime exploded, Link walked over with a face full of disbelief, and picked it up.

Is it that easy to get it?
Not even a twist?At least come a relatively powerful monster and let him fight hard.

He didn't even make a move yet, the other party just lay down and attached the key with both hands. What's the situation?
Now Link feels more and more that he has been tricked. If he had turned his head back and looked carefully at the gate of the old castle from the beginning, he might have passed the pass a long time ago, and he is waiting outside right now.

Unfortunately, no if.

How easy it is to pass the level now, the more it reflects how inspiring he is to break through the level with his life and death along the way!

click-

A door rose directly from the middle of the room, and there happened to be a keyhole on it, corresponding to the key in Link's hand.

Obviously, the key in his hand was used to open that door.

Link had no choice but to go forward, opened the door easily, and walked up.

Almost the moment he entered the gate, his consciousness was pulled by a strong suction force, and he was directly pulled away from the illusion.

Opening his eyes again, Link found that he was surrounded by people. He was the last one to escape from that illusion. All the other teachers and students who were qualified for the assessment had already completed the assessment and stood Waiting for him beside him.

"Why did you use it for so long? This is not like the performance you should have."

Ginato was full of surprise. In the previous few levels, Link's passing speed was among the best, at least not at the bottom.

But this time, Link finally broke away from the illusion after waiting until the invisible field was about to shrink.

This doesn't match Link's performance in the slightest.

"Have you encountered any problems?" Teacher Tulsi also asked, "This level is very simple. The lock will be opened as soon as you touch it, and the monsters inside can also be killed with a casual kick."

"No, after you entered the illusion, did you go back and open the door of the old castle?"

The corner of Link's mouth twitched. This is so fucking bad. Why did everyone else realize that they entered the illusion and went back to test the gate of the castle?

Doesn't the illusion imply moving forward from all aspects?
Why was he the only one who was tortured so hard by that suggestion?
"Ginador and I turned around and opened the gate of the castle."

Tulsi thought for a while and said: "I thought the castle was very similar to a building I had seen before, so I was curious and went to observe it. I didn't expect to pass the level directly. Ginado is because... When he cleaned up the monster, he made too much noise, directly killing the slime in the castle, and then he was attracted by the light that the slime revealed from the crack in the door."

"This……"

Link was silent for a while. Teacher Tulsi's way of passing the level seemed to be a coincidence, but Ginato...was a bit too violent, right?

The location of the first monster was more than ten meters away from the castle behind him. It was so far away that it managed to directly kill the slime in the castle. It is estimated that Ginato is the only one in the past.

but.

After hearing this answer, it made Link feel better. It seems that he is not the only unlucky guy who was hinted by the illusion to move forward, kill monsters and upgrade.

Then, under the curious eyes of Ginato and other students, Link described what happened to him in the illusion, and then everyone was shocked.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Didn't you pass the test like this?" Link looked at the people staring at him with a strange expression.

"No, no, they didn't pass the level like this. They did go all the way to kill the stone scorpion, but after being tortured by the eight-star stone scorpion several times, they realized the problem, and then they killed all the way. Go back and discover the secret of the castle."

Teacher Tulsi looked at Link, looked up and down, and said with admiration: "As for the ten-star dragon you mentioned, none of them have seen it, because they haven't even beaten the stone scorpion... "

"Ah..." Link was speechless again.

Emotionally, he can see the giant dragon, which is already a hidden element. Under normal circumstances, after encountering the stone scorpion, he should be blocked. He began to think whether he missed something, but he actually killed it. Passed the stone scorpion and advanced to the next level...

When others encounter a stone scorpion, they start to feel that they cannot be defeated, and then turn around to find other ways to pass the level. But when he encounters a stone scorpion, what he thinks is to find a way to kill the stone scorpion, and then see if he can pass the level...

This……

It was completely the mentality of the strong that killed him!
A normal two-star magician would definitely be scared when encountering an eight-star stone scorpion, and would not think that he could defeat the stone scorpion.

but.

He is different, his real strength is not two stars, but much, much stronger than two stars!
In his subconscious mind, he didn't think that the eight-star stone scorpion is such a difficult monster to defeat, which created the embarrassment of his last pass. Others realized early on that there was nothing to do and went back, but he struggled After brushing the monster for a long time, the stone scorpion was directly crushed.

This time the last one passed the assessment. It can be said that there are too many factors that have influenced him. The first is his strong mentality, which made him not counsel where he should be counseled. He completely understood the wrong way to pass the level. With a lot of experience in the game, I never thought that a level-breaking game could go backwards from the beginning and pass the level directly.

According to logic, all games must be forward at the beginning, how can people retreat at the beginning, and retreat is the real pass point, not some hidden level or something?

This is too much of a disadvantage for a modern person like him who has played games, and he is naturally at a disadvantage compared to these aborigines living in the Western Fantasy Plane.

In addition to these two reasons, there is another point that his luck is so good that he actually wore orange outfits all over his body, while the rest of the people, most of them were orange outfits of accessories. I have never seen what the second orange outfit looks like.

It was this orange outfit that gave him the ability to defeat the stone scorpion, and the success wasted some time.

"This assessment is getting more and more outrageous..."

Link sighed, while the others looked at him with mixed feelings.
