On the fifth day, Gu Chi and his team arrived at the last area of the City of Intrigue - the Weathered Zone.
All the conditions for completing the golden achievements have been unlocked.
【Stone Statue Area】
【A Drinker with Excellent Character (I got drunk with a member of the opposite sex with a charm value greater than 7, but miraculously did not make any advances. I am indeed a good man)】
【Weathered Zone】
【A Real Man Can Bend and Stretch (Don't ask me why I walk with a bend, I am practicing the flexibility of my body)】
【City of Intrigue】
【Six Golden Years (Automatically achieved after completing all six golden achievements above)】
The system mentioned "charm value greater than 7" more than once, which should be the basic standard for Pure Land to judge whether someone is a beauty or a handsome man.
Both Ling Mao and Huang Ya meet the requirements, and Gu Chi himself is a man of good character, which is equivalent to a permanent BUFF. The achievement in the Stone Statue Area is naturally not difficult.
After clearing the Shadow last night, Gu Chi got Ling Mao, who claimed to have a good alcohol tolerance, drunk. She got really drunk, muttering strange words like "tie me up" and "tighten it", which left Gu Chi puzzled.
But the result was good.
Gu Chi easily gained 0.1 charm points.
But the achievement in the Weathered Zone...
Gu Chi: "......"
The difficulty is not very high.
It's just more abstract than the Weird Rules themselves.
Cannot walk upright - judging by the meaning, Weird Rules should be based on the action of stepping when walking. As long as you bend before the foot lands, you can avoid the Weird Rules.
Gu Chi tried to simulate this scene in his mind.
The sneaky appearance was more beautiful than practicing dance steps for two and a half years, it was unbearable to look at.
But what can he do? It gives attribute points...
After weighing the options, Gu Chi had to reluctantly give up the idol baggage and started acting expressionlessly.
Dr. Chen and the others laughed happily, but then felt that something was wrong. Could this guy be trying to achieve something?
Dr. Chen: "......"
Ling Mao: "......"
Huang Ya: "......"
So behind Gu Chi, there were three other people with the same exaggerated body twitching and expressionless faces.
Passersby: "......"
Is this a new type of hyperactivity disorder?
【Complete Golden Achievement: A Real Man Can Bend and Stretch (Your abdominal muscles have been exercised, and you will be more flexible in the future)】
【Obtain attribute bonus: 0.2 (Physical fitness)】
After walking about a hundred meters, a system prompt popped up.
0.2.
Gu Chi suddenly felt that losing the idol baggage was not a big loss.
Now, only the achievement of speaking loudly in the Blood Mist Zone is left undone. In terms of difficulty, this is the most difficult one among all the golden achievements. But if it is done without knowing the conditions for achieving it, it seems to be the simplest one, as long as you clear it, there is a high probability of completing it unintentionally.
It's estimated to be 0.1 as well.
Gu Chi took out the Shadow map and continued to fight monsters.
The Weathered Zone is the largest of the five areas, containing a small town and a vast planting area.
It's autumn again, and standing on a high place, you can see wheat fields like a golden sea. In the wheat field, there is a wooden house windmill. When the wind blows, the wheat sways gently, and the windmill rotates slowly.
The scenery here is rarely seen in the real world, with its beauty and tranquility.
Except for the Shadow.
The Weathered Zone is vast, and there are naturally many Shadows.
Even though some of the Shadows have been cleared by other players, they still fought until late at night, cleaning up the small black dots on the map until almost 1 a.m. - this is also the reason why Dr. Chen temporarily left the team.
In the afternoon, they got a clue about the theft at Evelyn's residence. Dr. Chen, with the mentality of "it's better to be late than never," immediately went to investigate, and the heavy responsibility fell on Gu Chi's shoulders.
With the big machete given by Xia Ling, Gu Chi's basic attack damage was not too low, and he could still kill the Strange Objects a few more times.
After clearing the last Shadow, Gu Chi sheathed his knife and finished work.
"Let's rest in the Blood Mist Zone?" Ling Mao suggested.
The Weird Rules in the Weathered Zone and the Stone Statue Area are similar, both of which are easy to make people GG when they wake up in the morning.
The Blood Mist Zone is safer.
And they are not far from the Blood Mist Zone, just a short walk away.
Gu Chi thought for a moment: "Okay."
Gu Chi never refuses reasonable requests from his teammates.
Seeing him agree, Ling Mao giggled and happily ran ahead to lead the way.
Due to the Weird Rules, Ling Mao couldn't jump around, but her light footsteps showed the joy in her heart.
Bent over, she quickly moved forward in the night, like a little hamster that had found food.
Gu Chi: "......"
He didn't quite understand.Just not sleeping in the Weathered Zone, why are you so happy about it?
Half an hour later.
The three of them arrived at the Andel Hotel where they first checked in.
The bar was still the same, and the receptionist was still the same.
Seeing Gu Chi again, she didn't even pass a note, just shrank under the bar and threw a room card.
Gu Chi: "......"
You're quite self-aware.
There were no other shadows in the Andel Hotel. Gu Chi glanced at the room card and, as before, chose 602.
To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Gu Chi deliberately showed the receptionist Andel's private gold card, indicating that they were not getting a free ride this time, but enjoying a special privilege.
Back in the room, Huang Ya couldn't hold back her urge to grumble and sprayed herself again.
Gu Chi took off his coat and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
Everything in the Blood Mist Zone was still so quiet.
It was already late, with no time for communication. It was time to wash up and sleep, and the quietness at this time was quite comfortable.
Gu Chi was still thinking, if Ling Mao wanted to rest in the Blood Mist Zone, was she essentially a girl who liked quietness?
After spending so many days in the instance dungeon, Ling Mao was indeed quiet and obedient.
Her character was very likable.
Gu Chi nodded to himself. He was always good at judging people, and he felt that his judgment should be correct.
Until Ling Mao handed him a small note—
"Don't forget to tie me up."
Gu Chi: "......"
Okay.
Retract the previous statement.
This girl has issues.
However, even though she had issues, Gu Chi had to satisfy her.
Just a few days ago, two people died silently in the middle of the night, most likely from talking in their sleep. It was necessary to tie her up.
So, to Huang Ya's incredulous gaze, Ling Mao finally got what she wanted, and Gu Chi tied her up and threw her onto the bed.
Are these two really playing?
Huang Ya silently picked up a bowl of sliced fruit and went to another bedroom, constantly repeating in her mind: Don't listen to indecency, don't look at indecency...
Gu Chi: "......"
It seems like someone has misunderstood something.
He thought for a moment, Huang Ya seemed to have taken care of her own mouth, so it seemed like he didn't need to help?
Well, that's fine. Gu Chi was too lazy to explain, so he turned around and went back to his room to sleep.
The slightly stuffy air returned to silence.
The three of them rested, while other players were still sweating.
They had to sweat, they had to fight for points!
There were only so many shadows in total. If they didn't take advantage of the big shots sleeping to earn more points, how could they compete?
So far, there were still 14 players left in the instance dungeon.
Except for two who were doing nothing, everyone else was grinding away—grinding small monsters was what players were best at.
The plot items corrupted by darkness were like progress bars, and every time players cleared a shadow, some of the dust on the items would dissipate.
The next morning.
Just as Gu Chi and the others sat down and picked up their knives and forks to eat breakfast, Dr. Chen called.
"I have some bad news and some other bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Dr. Chen asked.
Gu Chi: "?"
Dr. Chen: "The first bad news is that Evelyn's ball was taken by other players."
Gu Chi: "......"
Dr. Chen: "The second bad news is that Evelyn's necklace was also taken by other players."
Gu Chi: "......"
Dr. Chen: "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Gu Chi: "......"
Take a guess?
Dr. Chen realized: "Oh, you're in the Blood Mist Zone, right? Okay, come over first, I'll be waiting for you in the Spirit Realm."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
There should still be some shadows in the Blood Mist Zone, but Gu Chi and the others hadn't cleared them.
They didn't understand the mentality of other players. Clearing shadows was just to unlock the big sword—or to clear the instance dungeon quickly. But if, in addition to the big sword, there were two other items of the same type, and they were all in the hands of others, then there was no need to clear them anymore.
Before, they were working for themselves, but now others had more items than them. If they kept clearing, they would just be working for others. They unlocked a sword, and others unlocked a necklace and a ball. It wasn't worth it.
It was better to let the other side clear it themselves, and they would figure out how to fight for points.
Ling Mao and Huang Ya also heard Dr. Chen's bad news. The three of them quickly finished breakfast and headed to the Spirit Realm.
At ten o'clock in the morning, everyone gathered at a cafe.
"The current situation is not very favorable for us," Dr. Chen said, "those two items are in the hands of the same team."
"What are they for?" Gu Chi asked.
Dr. Chen: "Not sure, but one of them should allow players to resist Weird Rules."
He initially thought that the Judgment Greatsword was the reason for Evelyn's invincibility, but now it seemed that it was not the case at all.Plot props are three in total, which means that "invincibility" is the ultimate effect only after collecting all three props. The big sword represents the ultimate attack, the pearl or necklace represents the ultimate defense, and the remaining one is hard to guess, probably a functional prop such as mana regeneration or immunity to negative effects.
Weird Rules must be fought with the power of the people, which is already a form of output. Therefore, the big sword, which is also used for output, is very likely to be the least helpful of the three props for the players.
"Not necessarily."
Gu Chi pondered, "Plot props generally have their uses, and perhaps in the end, we'll have to rely on this big sword to deliver the final blow."
Dr. Chen shook his head, "It's useless."
For the full version, visit [ pawread.com ].
It's like the example of answering a question - the final blow is equivalent to giving the answer, but without the corresponding process of solving the problem, no matter how high the score is, it won't be that great.
This is the scoring mechanism, not just a theory, but a result that Dr. Chen has personally derived from countless games.
"We only have two choices now."
"Either we cooperate with them and accept whatever evaluation we get, that's just how it is with this scenario."
"Or..."
Dr. Chen paused, "I'll go and snatch the props."
"But this isn't a PVP instance." Ling Mao asked weakly, "Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
"It is inappropriate, but people always face various choices." Dr. Chen said helplessly.
He didn't want to live in a way that he despised. If it was just him being summoned this time and he didn't encounter Gu Chi, then he would just lie low. It wouldn't matter if his evaluation was a bit lower, but the problem was that he did encounter Gu Chi.
Gu Chi never told Dr. Chen about his game sessions and level, but Dr. Chen could tell - he had a very useful PVP equipment that could display the total attributes of other players.
He only had 31 points in strength, while Gu Chi's five attributes added up to less than 40. Isn't he just a newbie who has just entered the Pure Land?
This was also the reason why Dr. Chen had always been confident that he could help Gu Chi rise.
For new players, every summoning is crucial. Even if it's just one more piece of equipment or one more skill, it's a huge boost in combat power. So as long as Gu Chi speaks - he doesn't even need to speak, just give him a look - then this bad guy, let Chen Tiantian handle it!
Gu Chi was about to ask about the scoring criteria when suddenly, a burst of exclamation came from outside.
"Wow! Look, what's that?"
"Miracle, it's a miracle!"
"I've never seen such a dazzling light, it's even brighter than the one Aunt Susan used to step on my little shoes next door!"
Gu Chi and the others couldn't help but look outside.
They saw two golden beams breaking through the shadows that covered the sky behind the building group in the distance, shooting straight into the sky like two stairways to the light, leaving behind a lingering divine light.
Ling Mao's eyes widened slightly, "Are those the two props?"
"They respawned so quickly? Wasn't it still one-fifth last night?"
Gu Chi took the big sword out of his bag in confusion, only to see that the sword, which was originally dull and lifeless, had now become spotless. The engraved pattern on it was transparent and bright, and the edge of the blade faintly emitted a noble and sacred light, as if it could eliminate all evil in the world.
The item information had also changed.
【Judgment of Justice: Hold it devoutly, chant the light, and you will gain the most powerful force in the world.】
Gu Chi looked at Dr. Chen, "Do you want to do it, or should I?"
"You do it."
"Okay."
Following the instructions, Gu Chi devoutly held the hilt with both hands, ignoring the strange looks from the staff.
They thought it was some kind of drama rehearsal.
It wasn't until Gu Chi silently chanted in his heart -
"Light."
Buzz!
A burst of brilliant golden light burst out from the tip of the sword, spreading across the entire coffee shop like sunlight, and then gathered into a beam of light that pierced through the ceiling and shot into the sky.
The strange looks from the staff turned into shock.
The crowd outside the coffee shop was also in shock.
"How can there be one here?!"
"I know!"
"Two beams of light aren't enough, we need three, because a triangle is the most stable structure!"
"???"
Although Ling Mao was a player, she was also somewhat amazed to witness Gu Chi activating the big sword at such close range.
"So cool."
It's unclear whether she was referring to Gu Chi or the special effects.
Visually, Dr. Chen agreed with Ling Mao's statement, but he sighed inwardly.
What's the use of being cool?
They only have one cool, while others have two. The advantage is not on their side.
Gu Chi couldn't deny this either.
But when he felt the surging power in his body, Gu Chi's heart stirred, and when he opened his personal panel, he found that things seemed to be different from what he had imagined.
