The weird game of the ancient gods

Xuanniao said, "You're lucky. Did you get a blue card?"

Xia Yu nodded, "How to use this card?"

Xuanniao: "It's very simple, just use your login to activate it."

Xia Yu clicked on the watch in his hand and scanned the two skill cards. The two skill cards immediately turned into flowing light and were absorbed by the watch.

System prompt: Learn the martial art - Cloud-Piercing Leg. Since you have not yet mastered the 'internal force', your Cloud-Piercing Leg cannot obtain martial arts special effects and consumes extra stamina when used.

System prompt: Learn magic - the meal-making technique. Since you have not yet mastered the 'magic', your meal-making technique cannot obtain magical special effects and consumes extra mental power when using it.

Information about these two skills suddenly appeared in Xia Yu's mind.

After recalling it in his mind, he immediately understood the usage and specific effects of these two skills.

Because the Cloud-piercing Kick is a martial art, it is best to use it in conjunction with internal force. In that case, it can even produce sound and light effects, just like the ones in fighting games. Without internal force, it is just an ordinary martial arts skill. The moves are the same, but the power is different. It's much worse, and because this move requires jumping up and kicking in the air, ordinary people can't do such exaggerated moves.

Although it can be used by force, the result will be a great consumption of physical strength.

The Cloud-Piercing Leg is extremely powerful and can gain a speed bonus. The faster the speed, the greater the power.

The art of making meals is even more magical.

In theory, this skill requires mastering magic power before it can be used. Since there is no magic power in his body, it is equivalent to a skill forcibly loaded by the system, so it requires additional mental power to cast the spell, which is equivalent to turning magic into a super power.

Theoretically, any food can be created by the food-making spell, but the prerequisite must be something that the caster has eaten before or that exists in the memory. The deeper the caster's memory of this food, the simpler the composition of the food will be. The more realistic the food becomes.

The created food can last for 24 hours and can make people feel full after eating it. However, because it is essentially a magical creation, somewhere between summoned creatures and illusions, it does not provide rich nutrition, but the ingredients that make up the food Magical energy/spiritual energy can still provide a certain amount of energy to the eater.

Eating occasionally can fill your stomach and help you lose weight, but if you eat every day, you will definitely become malnourished over time.

After understanding the usage and effects of these two skills, Xia Yu became more and more certain of his previous idea. It was absolutely feasible to open a food stall to make money.

As for the healing potion, Xia Yu didn't plan to use it, so he kept it for now, since he could produce it at any time anyway.

Xia Yu glanced at the others. Most of them crowded in front of the black machine with the skull logo and slapped themselves with the punishment card with a grimace. It was a bit like queuing up for injections as a child.

Xuanniao said from the side: "The effect of the punishment card will last for a week and will take effect one hour after leaving the game room."

Xia Yu nodded to express his understanding.

At this time, Wang Li stepped down from the position of the homeowner. "This room will be closed in 24 hours. I'll excuse you now. The next game will start in ten days. Dear players, don't forget it."

After speaking, Wang Li nodded to everyone, turned around and left.

Xia Yu didn't stay any longer. He thanked Xuanniao and couldn't wait to go home and test the two newly learned abilities.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the bronze door of the game room, he heard someone calling him.

"Traveller, can we talk?"

He looked back and found that the person calling him was the leader.

"Is something wrong?"

"Yes, there is something I want to talk to you about. Why don't we go sit on the second floor? The octopus balls in the snack shop on the second floor taste very good. Let's talk while eating."

Xia Yu thought it was okay, so the two of them went down to the second floor. The leader asked a female clerk to order two octopus balls and a cup of coffee. Xia Yu ordered a cup of Coke for himself and brought them to the window. In a private seat.

"So polite?" Xia Yu thought it was the leader's treat and couldn't help but ask.

The leader smiled and flashed his wrist, "Anyone who owns this watch will spend free money in this store."

Xia Yuxin said that this was not bad.

While eating octopus balls and drinking Coke, it is rare to enjoy this leisurely feeling on weekdays.

Especially after eating raw meat and blood for a day on the volcanic island, eating hot octopus balls and drinking refreshing Coke, I feel so happy.

"So what exactly do you want to talk to me about?"

"What I want to talk to you about is, do you have any goals in playing this game?"

Xia Yu was stunned, of course he had a goal - to win the game, obtain the rough stones, and draw reward cards...

But when it comes to what they want to achieve specifically, they are probably the same as most young people living in modern cities, that is, they want to ‘succeed’.

Earn a lot of money, buy a better house, find a beautiful and caring girlfriend, have a relaxing job, and live the rest of your life without worrying about food and clothing.

These are undoubtedly what he wants, but as to which one is more important, he really hasn't thought about this issue.

He shook his head, "I'm afraid I can't answer your question. I just learned about this game today and haven't had time to think about it that much."

The leader didn't seem surprised after hearing this. He smiled mysteriously and said, "Then you don't mind hearing about my goal?"

"Of course I don't mind, so what is your goal?"

"I want to be a chess player."

"Um, what does that mean?"

The leader smiled slightly, "In this world, the vast majority of people are just chess pieces, living a mediocre life, eating, drinking, sleeping, and then dying, which has no meaning.

But some people hold the real power in this world. They make rules, control everything, and secretly control the direction of the world. I call them chess players, and my goal is to become a part of it. "

Xia Yu was speechless after hearing this. Could this leader be a conspiracy theorist?

He has heard a lot of conspiracy theories, about the Freemasons controlling the world, the Rothschild family, the omniscient eye on the US dollar bills, and so on.

He didn't know whether these were true or false, and to be honest, he didn't really care. When he heard the leader's words, he couldn't help but connect with them.

The leader was still talking, "Originally, this kind of thing was very far away for us, but this game gives us a chance to become chess players.

I know this sounds a bit out of left field, and I dare not say that it will definitely succeed, but in short, this is an opportunity, but it will definitely be difficult for me to succeed alone, so I hope to find like-minded people to work with me. .

If you agree, we can help each other, support each other, and cooperate for a long time in the game in the future. There is everything we need in the card pool. As long as we continue to win games and obtain rough stones, this goal will definitely be achieved. Take a step back. In other words, even if this goal cannot be achieved, there is always no harm in earning more rough stones and drawing cards, right? "

Xia Yu shook his head: "The landlord won't agree to this kind of thing, right?"

The leader smiled, "The landlord doesn't care about this. As long as he doesn't violate the rules of the game, it's fine. You see, the landlord didn't care when we formed an alliance on the island."

"But why don't you find Longqi and the others? Aren't you a team of veteran drivers?"

The leader sneered, "Forget about those guys. Longqi has no ambition, Ergouzi is short-sighted, and the escort has low vision. None of them are people who want to achieve great things. If they earn a certain amount of benefits, they will definitely retire. , if we want to achieve great things, we must find someone with strength and perseverance, and keep playing until we achieve our goals.

Although we have only played one game, I can tell that you are the person I am looking for. "

As he spoke, he looked at Xia Yu with twinkling eyes. That eager look gave people an irresistible power.

But Xia Yu still shook his head: "Sorry, I..."

Leader: "You don't have to answer in a hurry. I know this matter is very important and it definitely needs to be considered carefully. You can go back and think about it slowly. Just reply to me when you start the game next time." After that, he picked up the coffee. He drank the cup in one gulp, smiled at Xia Yu, turned around and left.

What the hell is Xia Yuxin talking about? Is this leader serious? He can be regarded as having been severely beaten in society. When he heard what the leader said, he could only hear two words - funny.

He thought that this guy was either having a second degree or was joking with him, or was using this excuse to win over him. Either way, he was not going to agree.

He was speechless and laughed, and was about to leave, when Fujiwara Fubuki came over and said, "Traveller, can we chat?" As he spoke, he sat down opposite him very arrogantly, and interrupted him politely. One octopus ball, swallowed in one gulp.

This impressive performance came to an abrupt end due to an accident. After chewing a few times, Fujiwara Fubuki's face suddenly turned red.

She pointed to her throat and coughed violently.

Xia Yu hurriedly patted her on the back, and the girl finally managed to catch her breath. Xia Yu looked angry and funny, and poured a glass of water in front of the girl.

Fujiwara Fubuki drank half the cup in one breath, "Ahem, sorry, I was in a hurry."

"What's up?"

Fujiwara Fubuki put away her cynicism and said very cutely: "Yes, traveler, I want to cooperate with you."

Xia Yuxin said coming again?

"To be precise, I hire you to be my helper. I can give you money. How about ten thousand a month? You don't need to pay anything. You just need to take care of me as much as you can in the game. There is no compulsion. Sexual demands, even if you don’t do anything, it doesn’t matter, these ten thousand are all yours, how about it, it’s a good deal, right?”

Xia Yu was a little surprised now.

Ten thousand yuan for free? No requirements? Is there such a good thing in the world?

He glanced at Fujiwara Fubuki. She was wearing a beige sailor suit and a plaid skirt. Her short hair had a bit of a two-dimensional style. The style and material didn't look cheap. It should be the uniform of a certain aristocratic private middle school. , the phone is the latest iPhone 12, packed in a pink stationery bag - it's actually from Gucci.

Coupled with the elegant temperament she exudes unintentionally, I guess she really is not short of money.

But the mouth of the cannibal is short, and the hands of the taker are short. If I really want to accept this money, but then it doesn't help at all, then I'm afraid I won't feel sorry for myself.

"I have to think about this matter - if you are so rich, why do you still play this game?" (And you are so bad at it). The last part of the sentence was not said. Girls, they still have to save face. of.

Fujiwara Fubuki sighed, "Actually, I am too... Huhu."

Actually fell asleep.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" He shouted twice. Seeing that the other party didn't respond, he just jumped over.

"Oops, I'm sorry, my punishment card seems to have started to take effect -" She rubbed her face vigorously, but it had no effect, so she simply picked up the water glass and poured half of the water directly on her head.

"My punishment card is the [Sleep] card...the effect is to make me very...tired and sleepy, so...to make a long story short, I'm not very good at playing games...but I have to...keep playing, anyway...hope Can you... hoohoo."

Before he finished speaking, he fell asleep on the table with a plop.

Xia Yu had a headache and thought, what should I do? I couldn't just walk away, so I waved to the waiter - "Bring me a bottle of mineral water. I want it iced."

But the bottle of water didn't fall down after all. A big man in a black suit came over at this time.

"Sir, please don't mess around." The man looked at Xia Yu warily, and Xia Yu put down the mineral water in embarrassment.

"Who are you?"

"I am Miss Lin's bodyguard." The bodyguard said and flashed his bodyguard badge. "I will send the lady home."

As expected, he belonged to a wealthy family and even had bodyguards. Xia Yu was even more curious now. Since the family was rich and her skills were so poor, why didn't this girl want to play this game? But thinking about it, it really didn't have much to do with him. Regarding the relationship, it’s better to take care of your own affairs first.

Xia Yu walked out of the board game store and turned around to take a look at the sign.

The ancient god's game house and the huge sign with the Q version of the octopus head were waving at him.

It’s better to go home first.
