Chapter 3 The Dark Forest
With the announcement of the assessment content, the sightseeing bus also arrived at the terminal station "Manor No. 1", a low villa standing by the forest.
The Sunflower driver brushed his face, and the sightseeing car slowly stopped in the open space in front of the villa under the gaze of the pea guard. As soon as the car stopped, the man-eating tour guide couldn't wait to jump out of the car, waved his rattan arms, and called the players to walk towards the villa.
"The farmer knows your purpose, so he decided to open this forest that makes you very concerned about." The tour guide of the cannibal flower licked his lips and shook his head with the broadcaster. "But you are destined to be a waste of work, because the people behind you are just suspicious, and the things they care about do not exist at all. We physical derivatives live in the manor every day, and any movement can't escape our perception. How can you outsiders know something that we don't even know?"
"What are you doing if you slap these words?"
The Sunflower driver was a little impatient. He looked at his withered face in the rearview mirror and said irritably: "Send people in quickly, hurry up and get it up! I have some insomnia recently. I want to ask the gardener if it is a psychological problem."
The tour guide of the cannibal flower waved his hand, then opened the villa gate, sent the player in, and then returned to the sightseeing bus, looking at the lush forest, suddenly sighed: "Hey, do you think that the [Dark Curtain Forest] has turned dark?"
The Sunflower driver looked at it strangely: "Why are you starting to be suspicious? Well, let's talk about psychological problems together."
Puff puff puff...
Exhaust gas was sprayed out, and the sightseeing car restarted and drove around the villa to the distance.
...
Players who entered the villa immediately discovered the difference between the two trials.
That is, the player's name will automatically appear and float on their respective heads.
The three players who walked with Embers were [Diandian Doudou], [Yuezhaoshui] and [Not Sword Immortal].
The border of [Not Sword Immortal] is outlined with silver edges, indicating the identity of his senior player. Yu Chen knew in his conversation with the master brother that the other party formed the well-known "Not Sword Immortal" trio in "Titans".
Obviously, it was not the Sword Immortal who also learned about Yu Chen from the master brother, but now is not a good time to talk, so the two of them just looked at each other and nodded.
Slap sex!
In the quiet corridor deep in the villa, there was a sound of applause or footsteps. The four players held their breath and stared at a white-haired old man with a striking robotic arm, and slowly appeared.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Farmer, and I am the owner of this manor."
The white-haired old man swept the left eye of the player, and the light of data flowing flashed in his pupils, instantly confirming the players' identities.
"I don't care what the old guys behind you have discovered. Since they want to find out, I will satisfy their curiosity." The white-haired old man raised his mechanical right arm and knocked his temple. "But you have to remember that this is a manor, and I don't want to see anyone going against my will."
Because the farmer's appearance was too different from what he expected, and the manor was too weird, the players nodded and agreed.
The white-haired old man snorted, his face remained unchanged, turned around and walked towards the corridor, and signaled the player to follow.
The light in the corridor is dim, because outside the window is an extremely dense black forest, and there is almost no sound in the forest, which makes the corridor feel heart-wrenching.
"Although I don't really welcome you uninvited guests to contact [Dark Curtain Forest], now that things have come to this point, I don't have to say much. Just so happen that there are many damn bugs in the forest recently. If you don't want to be punished for returning for nothing, then just clean up some bugs and earn some rewards. Anyway, the results of this tourist trip will be included in your assessment record."
[Tip: Do you accept the task of "cleaning up pests"?]
...
Mission name: [Cleaning pests]
Requirements: Kill Shadow Eater
Reward: Credit points
Introduction: Dark Curtain Forest is located in the heart of the manor. Although this forest will not breed powerful physical derivatives, thanks to the dark curtain, the animals and plants in the forest will not be invaded by strong enemies. However, the thick dark curtains that permeate the forest often breed shadow phages that destroy vegetation. It needs to be cleaned regularly to prevent the ecological environment of the Dark Curtain Forest from being affected. Now, you and your fellow travelers can use this opportunity to gain some additional benefits.
[Tip: This task is a cycle task. If you clean up the number of shadow-eating insects to reach ten, you can exchange credit points at the initial location or forest supply.]
[Tip: Shadow-eating insects refer to insect entity derivatives that are grown by dark curtains, not specific species.]
...
accept!
If you go on a business trip, you can earn extra money. Yuchen has no reason to refuse such a good thing, and other players are the same.
Seeing that the players agreed to their request, the farmer's expression calmed down slightly. He led everyone through the increasingly dim corridor and came to a dark iron gate.
Squeak...
The door opened and the players immediately realized that it was getting dark.
"The corridor just now happened to pass through the edge of the Dark Curtain Forest. What you see now is the scene inside the forest." The farmer pointed to the dense trees next to the gate. "The forest area was almost blocked by trees. If you want to leave this half area, you can only pass through this corridor. It took me a lot of effort to open it up."
Players looked at the sky and the earth, and felt a sense of depression coming to their faces. At most, only ten meters of visibility reminded Yuchen of the encounter of endless stairs. Fortunately, there was no bump on the ground with the corrosive black liquid gathered, and the dark curtain concentration was not that serious.
"Since you were not invited by me, I will not provide you with free help."
The farmer stomped the ground with his feet. The sound of gold and iron clashing made the players realize that his left leg was also made of machinery. As the farmer moved, a tree next to the gate suddenly opened its mouth and yawned, with two sleepy eyes, staring at everyone present.
"Sober, it's time to work." The farmer said angrily, then pointed to the big tree and said to everyone, "Although the physical derivatives of the Dark Curtain Forest are basically in juvenile states, at your current level, you will still be in danger of life. If you have any remaining credit points, you can buy some plant partners here, and in addition, the supply location in the forest, you can buy other things."
After saying that, the farmer turned around and walked towards the gate. When he was about to step over the threshold, he turned his head and said, "I forgot to tell you that this manor is not entirely owned by me. If you go too deep, you may meet people coming from the [Shepherd Boy]. Be careful. Although the opposite side is in a state of cooperation with the foundation, you represent the face of the foundation. If you lose badly in the competition for newcomers, you will not only lose your own face."
The farmer's figure completely disappeared, leaving the players looking at each other. It was not until this time that they realized that it was not only the four of them in this assessment.
However, no matter how surprised the players were, they immediately came to the big tree to check out what good things they could buy here. The credit points had just been obtained, and everyone hoped to have a pleasant consumption.
[Tip: The Weishu Store is open, you can use the Foundation’s credit points to consume.]
Yuchen couldn't wait to check the purchase list, and then a sighed in his ear: "It's so expensive! The third-level pea saga player actually needs two thousand credit points, and then the flower pot fertilizer is mixed, so you have to get three thousand credit points in total. I only gave 1,600 credit points in the last copy, where are you?"
The player who speaks is called [Diandian Doudou], a young man.
However, his inquiry received no response. It was not that Sword Immortal was as cold as Master Brother, Yue Zhaoshui focused on checking the list. Yu Chen thought about it, but he still didn't tell the news that he had obtained 3,200 credit points, and instead put the attention on the sales order.
...
[Junior Pea Shooter]: Fire a pea every three seconds, with weak attack power and extremely far attack range. It grows for ten minutes and is priced at 500 credit points.
[Second-level Pea Shooter]: Launch two peas every three seconds, with weak attack power and extremely far attack range. The growth time is twenty minutes, and the price is 1,000 credit points.
[Level 3 Pea Shooter]: Fire four peas every three seconds, with weak attack power and extremely far attack range. The growth time is forty minutes, and the price is 2,000 credit points.
[Pea Petri dish]: A necessary container for cultivating pea shooters, first-level 100 credit points, second-level 200 credit points, third-level 300 credit points.
[Sunshine, Moisture, Fertilizer Cell]: An important ingredient for cultivating pea shooters. Each battery can shorten the growth time by one tenth and help the plants grow normally. It can be used in a pea petri dish. First-level 100 credit points, second-level 150 credit points, third-level 200 credit points.
...
There is only one plant partner and supporting module on the sales list, but it is clearly divided into three levels.
Yu Chen calculated that he had 3,200 credit points, and it was more than enough to win the top-end pea shooter, but the problem was that the growth time of forty minutes was too long. During this period, he might be under a lot of pressure and it might be possible to eliminate it in advance.
Thinking of this, Ember changed his mind and directly spent 900 credit points to get the junior pea shooter and training set, and then he saw a reminder that it hurts his toothache.
[Tip: You have purchased seedlings of the plant entity derivative "Junior Pea Sagittarius". This plant and the "Dark Curtain Forest" coexist, and cannot bring out the assessment space for this time.]
I bought it for money, but I couldn't take it out?
Prodigal businessman!
If his 3,200 credit points were scattered, he would have no place to cry!
But then again, what if you invest all the credit points?
Chapter completed!
