Chapter 1 The Black Knight (1)
"Tap, tap..." keyboard typing sound.
Location scenes, appearance characters, actions and lines.
On the notebook screen, the number of words in the document continued to increase until the last punctuation mark was typing, and the black-haired young man sitting in front of the computer took his left hand back from the keyboard, covered his lips and yawned.
"Um..." Looking at the first draft just completed, Gu Huai slowly raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his eyes that had some physiological tears.
Gu Huai is a well-known figure in the industry as a screenwriter. Since entering the industry, he has won all the trophys of major awards. Although each of the trophys of all sizes in the house represents honor, these valuable honor objects were once despised by their owners because of their space.
It is now 2037, and the online film and television transformation is progressing rapidly. The novel that Gu Huai has just completed the first draft of the adaptation is a big red article in Jinjiang Literature City.
Complete the first draft is just the beginning, and there are many things that need to be refined and modified. That being said, the young man's head on the seat is still lower and lower, and it is not long after that, it completely rests on his arms.
The next second just after the young man was under his pillow, a mechanical synthesizer suddenly sounded in the room.
"Du--Sir, IMHO, you can't be lazy and rest now. There are only five days left before the deadline, and the number of times you have set for yourself this year has been used up." The intelligent robot made by advanced technology entered the room with a cup of hot coffee, and it moved clearly towards the youth.
In 2037, this is also an era when artificial intelligence has become relatively popular.
"..." The strong smell of coffee had already floated over, Gu Huai's right eyelid twitched. He set up an undevourable manuscript urge function for his robot butler. Now he can't tell whether he regrets or not.
"Okay, I know." The black-haired young man sighed and sat up again, his eyelids still habitually drooped gently, revealing a three-pointed sense of laziness.
The robot butler moved to his side, and Gu Huai reached out to take the coffee that the other party brought to him, but at this time, an unscientific magical event occurred-
The part of the intelligent robot's eyes, which had been light blue, suddenly darkened, as if it had lost power. When the robot's arm drooped, the mug in his hand fell straight to the ground.
The unscientific point is that the water cup did not hit the ground, but hovered and stopped in the air.
“Welcome to Kings Game.”
The tone was as monotonous as someone repeatedly pressed the same bass key with the same force, and this low voice suddenly appeared in Gu Huai's mind.
The difference between human voice and mechanical synthesized sound is obvious.
Gu Huai's move to pick up the water cup suddenly stopped, and the virtual screen that suddenly appeared in front of him the next second made Editor Gu blink.
Without asking the person involved whether he would accept the game, the voice explained the rules of the game directly after the opening remarks, and it seemed that it was not up to the person involved to listen or not.
Taking advantage of the time to save his water cup, Gu Huai listened silently to what the other party said. His only action was to move his index finger and gently rub the handle of the cup.
He was thinking that this matter probably couldn't be done.
As a professional screenwriter, you need to have calm thinking, rich imagination and logical reasoning skills, and know that what is happening to you at this time is an event that is not scientific but real. Gu Huai made a general summary of the other party's sentence in his heart.
Simply put, he was selected by the other party to participate in this "King Game". If he points out the key points, he will die if he refuses the game.
According to the game requirements, the selected person must travel to various plane worlds. Each plane world is equivalent to a level in the game. Like a level-breaking game, he must reach 100% of the level-breaking value in the level before he can go to the next world.
If you allow two failures, what will happen if you fail more than two failures will happen. However, Gu Huai thought that it would be the same as rejecting the game.
He has only lived to be twenty-three years old, and Editor Gu does not want to be the protagonist in the tragic script yet.
"What is the reward for winning?" Peeling a piece of candy wrapping paper and stuffing the candy into your mouth. As the sweetness spreads, the black-haired young man narrows his eyes.
"Become a "king" and get whatever you want."
This plot is really comparable to the sum of all the magic adventure movie scripts he had written before. Editor Gu used his tongue to touch the candy in his mouth and stopped talking.
"You can think of me as a system, the kind in the novel."
"Um." Gu Huai responded vaguely while eating candy.
System: "Before starting the game, you need to draw the world."
"Is it difficult to pass the level in different worlds?" Gu Huai raised his hand and poked the virtual screen that appeared in front of him early in the morning. A row of cards were spread out on it. Of course, now you can only see the back of the cards. If nothing unexpected happens, he will draw the cards.
The complex dark gold pattern outlines the back of the card, adding a bit of mysterious beauty to the plain white.
“Luck is also part of strength.”
Gu Huai agrees with this. As a European boss who was banned by several game groups, Editor Gu is not false about drawing cards.
Gu Huai stretched his hand to the second card for the left. It was obviously just a virtual screen, but it had a substantial touch at the moment of touching it. He flipped the card over, "Curvey A, is the generation..."
Only when it came to this point, the young man's voice stopped abruptly, his body lost consciousness and leaned back on the back of the chair.
He closed his eyes and opened his eyes. Although the scene in front of him was only dark, Gu Huai knew that he had already worn it.
"System, I want a piece of clothing." After passing through, he was curled up and lying on his side. In the darkness surrounding him, Gu Huai temporarily maintained this position and did not move around immediately.
The body is covered with a strong body, and the skin feels like it is covered with an unknown sticky liquid, which makes Editor Gu a little doubt his luck in drawing cards for the first time.
In fact, he had no expectation that the system would respond to his request, but after Gu Huaigang slowly said this to the system, the feeling of his body being covered with clothes was a little stunned.
"The plane transfer is completed. Here is the block A world you selected. The current pass value is 0."
With the clothes in hand, Gu Huai also made up his current situation. He found that the place he was staying at was very famous, narrow, without light or sound, and was probably a completely confined space.
And he is now locked up inside.
"System, if I can't get out, would you say you would be suffocated to death here?" The black-haired young man seemed to have a smile in his voice. His narrow and beautiful eyes were rarely raised slightly, and they looked very beautiful. He raised his hand and touched the top of this narrow space.
"This possibility is not ruled out." The system replied coldly.
After all, he wouldn't really make fun of his life. Gu Huai curled his smile a little and knocked on the top of the space with his hand. The "barrier" on the top was not too hard and might be a little crisp. It is feasible to forcibly destroy it from the inside.
"Click."
The crack sounded in the dark hidden cave. This sound appeared very suddenly, neither light nor heavy, but made the cave, which was originally as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, reach the boiling point in an instant—
Countless pairs of cold and ferocious, scarlet vertical pupils that are inhumane and indifferent to humanity are opened and lit up in this darkness.
Restless. Countless unknown creatures hiding in the darkness lock their eyes at the same place, that is, the location of the sound source.
"Click, click--" With another hard hammer, Gu Huai created a small hole in the top of the narrow space that trapped him.
There was basically no light outside, and Gu Huai immediately realized this.
It was a little surprised, but Gu Huai did not stop his hand. He continued to work hard to destroy the narrow space. Until the hollow created was almost expanded, he sat up quickly, and now his upper body was stumbled outside.
After this exploration, even Editor Gu, who has read all kinds of horror movies, couldn't help but hold his breath reflexively.
There were countless pairs of eyes locking him and they were about to approach him. In the extremely dark environment, Gu Huai could barely see what kind of creatures the owner of these cold vertical pupils were.
Each part of these non-human creatures is constructed like a custom-made for combat. The cold and lustrous body makes them look extremely strong in defense. The forearms are equivalent to the sharp blade with their own serrated teeth. As for sharp and sharp teeth... no one would doubt the biting force of this part.
Each one is at least several times the size of an adult, and these terrifying creatures undoubtedly have the ability to easily pierce and tear the body of prey.
"The current world is based on the interstellar future. The creatures in front of you are now Zerg, and you should be familiar with this race."
Haha. If it weren't for the wrong situation in front of him, Editor Gu would have really wanted to laugh and listen to his system. After all, he likes to write scripts with the future background of the Star.
"It's okay, it's quite familiar." Gu Huai replied.
Being a European boss who is used to being full of luck, he capsized today.
While talking to the system, Gu Huai had completely broken free from the narrow space.
The moment he broke free, the swarm of insects that were already ready to move suddenly became more restless, but Gu Huai certainly had no time to care about the reactions of these Zergs, and it was the main thing to seize the opportunity to escape.
There are not many gaps in the encirclement, and he only has one chance. If he can't escape, he can only accept his fate and use it as snacks for the Zerg in the cave to stuff his teeth.
Finding the right gap, Gu Huai ran to the target without hesitation.
The hiss of the Zerg sounded in this dark cave the moment the black-haired youth began to move. They went from moving to swarming up, and the sound of collective high-speed movement was enough to make people feel numb to their scalp.
Even the elite army in the Earth Federation that has received professional military training will be frightened against such a large number of Zergs.
"Stop running." Not long after the black-haired young man started running, the system simply said these three words, and the cold voice seemed to be mixed with some other emotions.
The light is dark, and young people do not have night vision.
The dark cave was like a complex maze. After being distracted by the system, Gu Huai accidentally tripped by something. After staggering for a few steps, he felt a little painful in his ankle.
"Hiss..." The young man's breathing sound was very light, but this sound was obvious, but it only represented pain.
Almost as this slight sound was made, the Zergs chasing behind them seemed to have entered a state of violence in an instant, with their tightening vertical pupils filled with bloodthirst and killing.
"I can't run even if I want to run." Gu Huai responded to his own system.
“No need to run.”
Gu Huai: “…?”
From these four words, Gu Huai has obtained a considerable amount of information, and he vaguely inferred that he has come to an incredible conclusion that he doesn't even believe in it.
"You are not human now, and they are not going to siege you."
Just like what the confirmation system said, the Zerg, which had surrounded the youth, did not make any attacks.
They were quiet and extremely alert at this time. From their eyes, they could know that any living creature who dared to break into this encirclement would be torn to pieces by this group of cruel and ferocious Zerg in an instant.
Of course this is not a siege, but a guard.
Driven by instinctive will, these Zergs are protecting a precious thing that is thousands of times more important to them than their own lives...
